[00:00] blizzkid, a messed up university network and a messed up install [00:00] mzz is says no manual entry for crypt in section 3. do i need to download it? [00:00] blizzkid, if its not by default, no. [00:00] blizzkid, turns out i do have it, was being silly with the way i was trying to open it. [00:00] hi my terminal dois not work [00:00] Kalisto: I'm not on a ubuntu system currently, don't know what package to install [00:00] hello, i have installed libgmp3c2 (gnump) from repositories but when i compile with gcc i can't use the library. Any help?? [00:00] ldiamond__: you'll have to put a reference in your /etc/hosts then [00:00] yadunand: gnash is not stable yet, so if you don't mind proprietary software you probably want to use Adobe's nonfree flash plugin [00:00] blizzkid, Kalmi http://pastebin.ca/1422150 [00:00] blizzkid, however, I don't want to have to use DNS no machine will be up 24/7 [00:00] Jordan_U, Is there any way to turn an AVI or MPG to a DVD ISO for wodim to burn? [00:00] blizzkid, I dont want to edit hosts because the IPs will change. [00:00] mzz ok. you would not know how i can find out what hashing algo passwd uses to create the shadow file entries? [00:01] ldiamond__: it'll be your only option if you want to ping it by name [00:01] blizzkid, why does my Windows machine ping my Ubuntu box fine? [00:01] TonyTheTiger, maybe you could check with someone (at the university) else whether they can ping google or not.... === Twigathy_ is now known as Twigathy [00:01] blizzkid, WINS would work too, but thats deprecated. [00:01] hi my terminal dois not work [00:01] Kalmi, I think people can, I have a friend who uses ubuntu as his main os too [00:02] blizzkid, there has to be a decent way to do that... [00:02] ldiamond__: wins is indeed deprecated and ms stuff [00:02] ldiamond__, DNS [00:02] Kalmi, His not around so i cant be sure, but right now i just want to get my IM working [00:02] ldiamond__: DNS is indeed the only decent way [00:02] TonyTheTiger: can you ping anything by ip? [00:02] Kalisto: is configurable, but I forgot if it's configurable in /etc/login.defs or /etc/pam.d/ [00:02] ldiamond__, some routers support DNS out of the box.... [00:02] blizzkid, Kalmi but How do I get this to work without having a DNS server up 24/7 [00:02] blizzkid, How can i try? [00:03] mzz ill check both :D [00:03] TonyTheTiger, are you using a proxy? [00:03] TonyTheTiger: ping 74.125.77.147 [00:03] ldiamond__: only if you have a router that supports dns [00:03] Kalmi, yes I am behind a proxy. I tried to set it up too [00:03] ldiamond__: otherwise: /etc/hosts [00:03] anyone have experience booting linux from usb media? i have assembled and made bootable my usb image correctly (following this http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-ubuntu-904-persistent-install-windows/) but my HP work station wont work (i only have access to HP work stations here) and i really don't know how to debug this [00:04] fbc-mx: There are GUI apps to do that, if you need to do it from the terminal then I think it pretty much has to be a multi step process ( maybe use transcode to transcode to mpeg 2, put that in a directory called VIDEO_TS then make an iso containing that directory but there may be more to it or a CLI utility that does it in one step ) [00:04] Does any one recognize the error code error_code+0x72/0x780 [00:04] mzz its login.defs: ENCRYPT_METHOD SHA512 [00:04] jotha1: care to explain "won't work"? [00:04] blizzkid: system is set to boot from USB, but after a moment flicks back to windows and boots, there is no indication that grub or anything has even been initiated [00:04] TonyTheTiger, have Pidgin ever worked at the university for you? [00:04] hi my terminal dois not work any one help me [00:04] I had a kernal panic this afternoon and would like to see if it means anything before I start buying new hardware [00:04] Has anyone found a resolve for the gspca in Ubuntu Intrepid? [00:05] hassan_: care to explain "doesn't work"? [00:05] My web cam works in ekiga but not in Skype or with mencoder [00:05] blizzkid, The ping is just not doing anything [00:05] jotha1: is the partition you installed ubuntu on marked as bootable? [00:05] hey room [00:05] sup suseq [00:05] Kalmi, Yes it worked, only stopped working recently. [00:05] TonyTheTiger: no ping? cool :p [00:05] blizzkid, TonyTheTiger is behind a proxy.... [00:06] jotha1, I used to boot ubuntu from a USB hard drive. I simply unplugged all my HDDs, plugged my USB HDD, installed Ubuntun on it and booted from it. [00:06] IS THERE ANY CHAT ROOMS ON HERE WHERE YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS WITH OUT THE FEAR OF BING BANNED FOR ASKING THE WRONG THING??? [00:06] blizzkid, there is ping its just stuck on PING ***** [00:06] jotha1, it didnt work on every computer tho... I dont know why [00:06] blizzkid: it's a usb pen/thumb/etc drive and there is a makebootable.bat that i had to run [00:06] Kalmi: proxy doesn't kick in when pinging an ip, unless there's also a firewall [00:06] new2suse you should start by not yelling [00:06] jotha1: Small flash drive or external enclosure? [00:06] small flash drive, 4GB [00:06] Kalisto, check out the crypt() function - http://www.metalshell.com/source_code/8/Crypt.html greybot> http://wooledge.org/~greg/crypt/ or see "man 3 crypt" [00:06] anybody noticed really poor network performance in jaunty with an atheros chipset? [00:06] thank you unop [00:07] new2suse then you should polietly ask your question and stfu for 2 minutes and wait to see if anyone knows anything [00:07] blizzkid, sometimes the only way to access the internet at some places is through the proxy... everything else might be blocked... [00:07] well i am gettin g really fed up.....I just been banned from two rooms by the same people ...for asking a question they could not answer.... [00:07] calm down new2suse [00:07] new2suse, are you sure you wasn't just flooding? [00:07] so which are the rooms u can go in and ask what ever u want about linux????????????????? [00:07] Kalmi: true... but that's abusing a proxy then ;) [00:07] new2suse, you made a typo s/BING/BEING/g [00:07] new2suse: #linux [00:07] and stop shouting [00:07] new2suse i like the cut of your jib... what is your question [00:07] blizzkid: as far as i know there is no way mark a usb flash drive as bootable in windows xp [00:08] try asking now === Twigathy is now known as Twigathy_ [00:08] jotha1, blizzkid: there is... unetbootin can do it... === Twigathy_ is now known as Twigathy [00:08] jotha1: Kalmi is right on unetbootin [00:08] my question at this point....is which room can someone go on to ask questions about linux...without the fear of redicule or being booted??? [00:08] when open terminal i see this massag (ther was proplem eiyh the command for this terminal : text was empty (or contained only whitespace) [00:08] blizzkid, Kalmi is there no hope for me then? [00:08] your question is far from relevant [00:09] new2suse: as I told you: #linux [00:09] next one [00:09] does any one know anything about kernal panics or places I could find the meaning of thier ascociated error codes, google is not turning up anything useful [00:09] i just been in lnux and got banned by some wnker [00:09] eagle_02, elaborate [00:09] TonyTheTiger: not unless you get your proxy set up [00:09] new2suse, I wonder why you got banned [00:09] for asking a question [00:09] blizzkid, how can i do this? [00:09] new2suse: and with that behaviour that's gonna happen here too! [00:09] new2suse you're boring me with your trolling... maybe that's your problem [00:09] devel0: lol [00:09] when open terminal i see this massag (ther was proplem with the command for this terminal : text was empty (or contained only whitespace) [00:09] blizzkid, I have tried multiple times [00:09] new2suse, how is the essense [00:09] TonyTheTiger, well... It might be that the mirror is the problem and MSN is also down... and there is nothing wrong with you :D [00:09] no kidding [00:10] Kalmi: that might be a very bad case of murphy :p [00:10] Kalmi, I asked the guys in the pidgin chat room and they said it was problem on my end. [00:10] Kalmi, blizzkid reading their FAQ it states it creates a syslinux config file and makes the USB bootable using this, this is already what the process i listed earlier does [00:10] guys, i'm currently using 8.10 and i want to dist-upgrade to 9.04... how do i fix this errors? http://paste.ubuntu.com/171967/ please help [00:10] ok.....I will speak clearly...which ROOM can someone goto..to find like minded techincal people to chat about linux??? [00:10] TonyTheTiger: is your nic set up correctly? [00:10] new2suse, are you on drugs ? This is a linux channel ? [00:10] devel10, I had a serries of random reboots (I do mean random, cannot get them to happen on command with an app or anything like that) finaly I got a kernal panic, and a screen with a bunch of hex and to me giberish [00:10] new2suse: *final* time: #linux [00:10] blizzkid, sorry for being so useless, I have no idea if it is. [00:10] new2suse you have already been told twice to goto #linux for such things [00:10] TonyTheTiger, try to set your MSN account (on the advanced tab) to use the HTTP method [00:11] guys, don't bother, new2suse is a troll, he got banned from #suse and ##linux exactly for that reason [00:11] new2suse: This room is generally a help and support room. [00:11] TonyTheTiger: pastebin the output of ifconfig [00:11] been to linux and got booted by some wnkr because I asked a question he was too dumb to understand [00:11] anyone? [00:11] !ot | new2suse [00:11] hassan_: don't pm me without asking pls [00:11] new2suse: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [00:11] and it wasn't very hard question in my opinion [00:11] eagle_02, do you have a booting system right now ? If you do try /var/log/messages , that should give you somewhat of a humanly understandable error [00:11] new2suse: just for thrills, ask your question [00:11] :D [00:12] not really I have tried that allready and it was pretty empty [00:12] guys, i'm getting this error when i try to upgrade to 9.04... http://paste.ubuntu.com/171967/ any idea how to fix this? [00:12] joeDeuce, YES IVE been trying to say that to him/her , but I cant stop remorsing at every keystroke [00:12] ok am soory [00:12] :D [00:12] blizzkid, http://pastebin.ca/1422168 [00:12] no way.....I asked the question in two rooms...and it folowed me and so did the linch party having their fun and then banning me [00:12] Kalmi, ill try that now [00:12] such wnkrs [00:12] !language new2suse [00:12] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:12] new2suse: No more trolling. Ask your question or go to another chat room. [00:13] * japerry waits for it [00:13] new2suse, well calling them wankers doesnt help [00:13] does anyone have any suggestions for free or cheap email hosting? I already have a domain.. [00:13] new2suse, ASK IT GODDAMIT OR GO AWAY! [00:13] new2suse, they are not required to help, nor are you entitled. [00:13] gharz: Are you using update-manager ? [00:13] * yaloki pulls the stopwatch [00:13] devel10, I did get the following error code before my "end of trace" +0x72/0x78 [00:13] eagle_02, if you can get to grub successfully, select recovery mode (should be the second option) , then hit "e" , edit the line that starts with initrd=bla bla , add init=/bin/sh , then hit escape , and "b" [00:13] new2suse: http://sweet.nodns4.us/ [00:13] Jordan_U: yes i am... [00:13] blizzkid: heh, nice one [00:14] TonyTheTiger: loading the pastebin, hold on... [00:14] TheComrade: I think gmail can work with a custom domain [00:14] hrhr [00:14] i even tried command lines sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and sudo update-manager -d [00:14] eagle_02, that should bring you to a single mode boot up , which you can work your way there , in the meanwhile im sure you can find something in /var/log [00:14] same error [00:14] yaloki: thx ;) [00:14] devel10, trying that now. I will write down the code [00:14] thanks [00:14] LOL he got K-Lined ? :D [00:14] I recently upgraded to jaunty, now my audio doesn't function properly. Playback just stops sometimes (for example in the middle of a movie) [00:14] i thought a ban is all that happens here [00:14] blizzkid thanks, fixed it. network admin's rules didn't allow Keyserver to connect [00:14] devel0, :D [00:14] gharz: Try canceling the upgrade, update package list again, then try starting the upgrade again [00:15] devel0: what's K-lined? [00:15] devel0: a ban in #suse, ##linux and about to happen here should be enough for a k-line, isn't it ? ;) [00:15] yw hansoffate [00:15] devel0, there's probably more IRCOPS in here than normal users [00:15] blizzkid: banned from the freenode servers [00:15] Jordan_U: i've updated and upgraded for 10x now. [00:15] rofl, cool :) [00:15] still having the same problem. [00:15] rofl [00:15] this is a great afternoon, I'll have to blog abou thim [00:15] he was boasting in #suse about his Microsoft and cisco creds [00:16] and that he has 20 years of experience.. blah blah blah [00:16] japerry, lol [00:16] i noticed that when i try to update i always get a GPG error http://archive.ubuntu.com intrepid-updates Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems [00:16] japerry: rofl [00:16] how do i fix this? [00:16] wait.. k-lined means the person is banned from freenode? [00:16] i've already changed my server to the main server. [00:16] Are there no VMware images available for 9.04? [00:16] japerry, you mean the guy that just got klined? [00:16] devel0: aye [00:16] Fishscene: yes [00:16] Fishscene, yep [00:16] voxadam, did you check on vmware site? [00:16] wikipedia: "A k-line or kill line (also written K:line) is an Internet Relay Chat term, applied to a specific user. When a user is k-lined, it bans the user from a certain server, either for a certain amount of time or permanently. Once the user is banned, they are not allowed back onto that server; they have to join a different server to get onto IRC." [00:16] japerry, whats he doing with a microsoft certification in a linux channel ? :P [00:17] lol [00:17] heh [00:17] coz_: Not sure why I didn't. Thanks. [00:17] for kicks and grins, this is what he asked: [00:17] new2suse: I am looking for an exlplination/paper on the interaction of.the kernel/user accounts/ldap/samba ....a process map or some clear notes on the subject please???? [00:17] and thats what started it all [00:17] anyone? [00:17] voxadam, last I looked I believe I did see one for 9.04 [00:17] im sure his microsoft certifications teach stuff like character 1337 substitution [00:17] :D [00:17] or how to clear cookies [00:17] but thats just me being sarcrastic [00:17] I shouldnt [00:17] but still [00:17] I do [00:17] devel0: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:17] cookies! [00:17] <_freddy_> can anyone give me some hints on how to boot my machine with a usb stick? is it dificult? or is it a fast process? [00:18] japerry: we should have noticed earlier though, repeating ? is always an accurate indication for a troll [00:18] devel0: MS certifications teach you how to achieve some world shocking, but highly useless result in 3 different ways ;) [00:18] It seems the rel of netbookremix is a .img file how can i convert that to .iso to use with the 'Make USB Startup Disk' app? [00:18] _freddy_, would you like to install from an SUB stick? or run a full-blown OS from it? [00:18] I think my prof at uni told me about the windows registry once when we were doing an OS course , I fell asleep naturally [00:18] *USB [00:18] yaloki: repeating ? if more than 3 ;) (??? = shocked ;)) [00:18] yaloki: aye, tis sad. although I think he only asked the question twice though [00:19] then he just started saying we couldn't ask it [00:19] err answer it [00:19] gharz: Can you pastebin your sources.list? [00:19] yaloki: kldap *now* ... let use build a kernelmodule for ldap :) [00:19] devel0: don't take that road.... (gnome "registry" is a pain too...) [00:19] <_freddy_> Kalmi: I downloaded the ubuntu iso, i want to install the os from the usb stick [00:19] anyhow, it was a good laugh. good day/night everyone :) [00:19] blizzkid, im not that high level up , im in the lower layers , so im safe with a tcp/ip stack hack every now and then [00:19] _freddy_, use unetbootin (it's easy) [00:19] _freddy_: there's some excellent documentation on that subject in the ubuntu wiki [00:19] new2suse: thought u lot were the experts or could point me in the direction of a paper on the subject [00:19] or the occasional kernel patch [00:19] Jordan_U: ok hold on. [00:20] heh yah this was great. ttyls! [00:20] did new2suse even ask a question [00:20] we arent a journal database , FFS , im just a human geek [00:20] you guys get some pretty amature trolls in here huh [00:20] what package do I get for fonts like bookman and arial and san / serif like in windows? === | is now known as LordInquisitor [00:20] TonyTheTiger: are you only on wireless?

No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [00:20] heh ive only been here a day or two , ive still got some stars to meet [00:20] well he was in #suse first, tried to ask a question, but it didn't really work. then said we're all too stupid to be of any help [00:21] devel10, I got into var log, after the machine decided to take a nap a few times what am I looking for? [00:21] Jordan_U: sources http://paste.ubuntu.com/171969/ [00:21] hanasaki, sudo aptitude install msttcorefonts [00:21] so we banned him, he moved to #linux.. ranted about #suse, got banned, came in here, and then some IRCOP got fed up and K-lined his a$$ [00:21] hello all, any pulseaudio masters out there? [00:21] eagle, tail -n /var/log/messages , see anything strange ? [00:21] LOL audio on linux [00:21] hanasaki, ubuntu-restricted-extras has some fonts and a lot of other things you will probably need later on.... [00:21] good times [00:21] yea, i know [00:21] devel10, I have a sneaking suspicion it is the power suply or something is over heating [00:21] japerry, I would give a cent to charity every time I could k-line someone asking stupid questions [00:22] it was working for over 15 months till last night [00:22] devel0: :-D [00:22] devel0: :) [00:22] i might even blog about this tonight [00:22] kalmi which packages pelase? [00:22] it kind of made my day [00:22] thanks eseven73 [00:22] s/day/night/ [00:22] gharz: Have you seen authentication errors when normally installing / updating packages [00:22] blogs are dead, with the advent of facebook and the like [00:22] hanasaki, the ubuntu-restricted-extras package [00:23] irc is like fast forward facebook [00:23] but with k-lines :D [00:23] Jordan_U: just when i update... i get a BADSIG error most of the time [00:23] eseven73: nah, if you're really modern you put a line on your facebook to link to your blogpost ;) [00:23] lol yep [00:23] gharz, did you add something to your sources list? [00:23] blizzkid, I actually did that when I had a facebook [00:23] acc [00:23] How do I open up a file in bash (through nano or something) that starts with a -? \ and "" do not work [00:23] devel0: I do too ;) [00:23] just the virtual box [00:24] but I didnt enjoy the ads , travelling from country to country I could see how they geotarget my ass and make me feel so victimized [00:24] heck, I even anounce my blog posts on twitter/identi automatically :) [00:24] when i come out of suspend mode i cannot reconnect to the wireless network i was previously on. [00:24] so Im just one less customer to someone [00:24] Kalmi: virtual box [00:24] linkmaster03, nano ./- [00:24] rm -rf facebook [00:24] linkmaster03: use mc :) [00:24] devel0: uhu, facebook kinda sucks [00:24] Kalmi: ah thank you!

[00:25] gharz: Are you behind a proxy? [00:25] hello world! [00:26] lol at "Suckerburg" freudian slip? [00:26] How do I point grub to boot from a USB CDROM drive? [00:26] i come out of suspend mode and i cannot reconnect to my network [00:26] Kalmi: i don't really know. when i tried upgrading i got this error message http://paste.ubuntu.com/171967/ [00:26] i know , my mum used to slap me when my lip slipped as a child [00:26] MHz128: not possible afaik [00:26] gharz, opsss... [00:26] gharz, that looks bad... [00:26] blizzkid, damn [00:27] anyone?? [00:27] MHz128, is there a reason behind wanting to do something like that ? [00:27] ryan_: ask your question and be patient... [00:27] ryan_, wired or wireless ? [00:27] Kalmi: yes... i know. i don't know what went wrong. [00:28] wireless [00:28] devel0, trying to boot from USB CDROM (ide to usb adapter) for a netbook.... wont boot from cd, but will boot usb linux [00:28] i used to do an upgrade from previous versions but this is the first i encountered such upgrade problem. [00:28] asus eee netbook with a fresh install of netbook remix [00:28] MHz128, you might be interested in unetbootin (unetbootin is an easy way to install from a pendrive) [00:28] can someone tell me how to find the salt thats used to create my sha512 hash? [00:28] MHz128, unetbootin , chuck the cdrom drive away [00:28] blizzkid, you there? seems like the apt-get update messed up my comp so i had to restart. [00:28] im looking at my shadow file. is the salt stated in there? [00:29] cant even remember the last time i used a cd or a floppy [00:29] no problems connecting to networks, its only when i resume from suspend mode that i cannot get a connection, the only solution is to reboot [00:29] waseem_: ? [00:29] devel0, ya, im installing OSX for friend.... osx iso won't work [00:29] gharz: Can you pastebin your /etc/apt/apt.conf ? [00:29] ryan_, what does networkmanager show ? [00:29] blizzkid, ok crap my nick isnt on, its TonyTheTiger [00:29] MHz128: you're asking about OSX in #ubuntu? [00:29] waseem_, how did it mess up your system? [00:29] blizzkid, nope [00:29] how can I get an external drive formated ext3 to automount when powered on with write access? When I power it on it mounts, but need root access, grrr... [00:30] waseem_: ok, I C... care to explain "messed up"? [00:30] black9ice, put the user attrib in fstab [00:30] black9ice: you might want to look at udev rules [00:30] devel0, how do find that out? [00:30] the chat stopped working and I couldnt connect to xchat anymore [00:30] ryan_, LOOK at it [00:30] Jordan_U: i don't have apt.conf [00:30] ryan_, its in the top right corner , the one you click on to select your wireless networks [00:30] so i restarted and its back Kalmi blizzkid [00:31] Jordan_U: only /etc/apt/apt.conf.d which is a directory [00:31] right...i see all the networks in range, and i am connected to one obviously [00:31] waseem_: ok, can you now ping an ip? [00:31] if i go into suspend and come back i wont have a connection [00:31] MHz128, you can somehow load an iso into memory and boot it with grub.... (if I remember correctly...) [00:31] Jordan_U: not it seems like it's working. [00:31] can you give me an ip to ping blizzkid ? [00:31] i've just modified the server from my repository. [00:31] Kalmi: MHz128 you can copy the contents of an iso to disk and boot from that [00:31] Kalmi, all i want to do is, point grub to boot from a cd drive [00:32] maybe it was because of the BADSIG i've been getting from main server... US and other servers [00:32] now it's working fine [00:32] thanks. [00:32] waseem_: 74.125.77.147 [00:32] It seems the rel of netbookremix is a .img file how can i convert that to .iso to use with the 'Make USB Startup Disk' app? [00:32] blizzkid, good idea, use a boot parition? [00:32] Synx_hm: you can use an img to create the usb [00:32] MHz128, why do you need grub at all? why can't you just boot from the CD? :D [00:32] blizzkid, its doing what it did before. Stuck on PING ********* [00:33] Synx_hm: Don't follow the instructions to write the image to a USB drive [00:33] ryan_, when you come back from suspend , cant you ping your local gateway ? [00:33] MHz128: google for "grub cd harddisk" or something along those lines [00:33] route -n shows your local gateway , try pinging that [00:33] Kalmi, its a cheap adapter, machine doesn't look it [00:33] Jordan_U: point taken ill go back and look at the page thanks [00:33] oh [00:33] Synx_hm: I meant there to be a period after don't :) [00:33] devel10, checked syslog and dmesg, nothing wierd [00:33] Synx_hm: np [00:33] devel0: there is no fstab entry for this drive it is auto mounting [00:33] waseem_: you're on wireless only? [00:34] Jordan_U: ;) i didn't even look when i dl'ed the img i should have payed more attention hehe thanks again [00:34] How do I get my back and forward mouse button to work in Firefox and Nautilus? [00:34] black9ice: like I said, you might want to look at udev rules [00:34] gharz, can you show me your sources.list file? [00:35] blizzkid: um ok how? [00:35] black9ice: google is your friend ;) [00:35] devel0: can I pm you for a sec? [00:35] just make /media world writable and that should let you play with it , since you automatically mount it i dont think it should matter [00:35] anyone here that can tell me how to remove the panel in gnome? [00:35] blizzkid, feel free [00:36] pik}, you want to get rid of all panels permanently or you just want to remove one of two panels? [00:36] devel0: permanently! [00:37] hi guys, if anyone is having a weird screen (vertical bright lines that fade out) just before shutting down or restarting the pc tells me, i got the solution [00:37] pik}, apt-get remove --purge gnome-panel [00:37] devel0: if i want it back, same command but with install instead of remove? [00:38] pik}, and without ---purge [00:38] devel0: *don't* apt-get remove gnome-panel! [00:38] why do you even want to remove gnome-panel? [00:38] its not going to 'reset' the users settings [00:38] any one has a good difference between a system call and a system program? [00:38] i dont use it Dr_Willis [00:38] blizzkid: oh my [00:38] does anyone here own a Sony Vaio P series netbook? [00:38] please help. i have 2 nics and they both work fine if i bring them up manually via prompt or networkmanager but i cant keep them upon reboot. [00:39] pik}: if you don't use it, enable compuz, and put the panel on a widget layer [00:39] dfshffsdf, edit /etc/network/interfaces , and get a decent nickname === dfshffsdf is now known as jackaltl [00:39] thanks :) [00:39] blizzkid: it doesnt make that much sense to have to go through some fancy configs on an external drive just to write to it [00:40] jackaltl: udev rules are your friend [00:40] okay, why does the irssi bar say "5:Ubuntu/#ubuntu(+JLcfnt 2,5 #ubuntu-unregged)" (I named the freenode server "Ubuntu") [00:40] whats with the unregged? [00:40] black9ice: the udev rules are not on your external drive [00:40] !modes | Iceman_B|SSH [00:40] Iceman_B|SSH: There are many different channel and user modes on !freenode. Here's a list: http://freenode.net/using_the_network.shtml [00:40] blizzkid: i guess you meant compiz, right? [00:40] where do they come up with these? xrandr --newmode "1024x768" 63.50 1024 1072 1176 1328 768 771 [00:40] pik}: yes [00:41] I understand all the way to 1024x768 [00:41] Pici: I know how irc works, this is just the first time I've seen "#ubuntu-unregged" there in the bar. I always join #ubuntu on Freenode [00:41] ola, alguem pode me dar uma ajuda ? =) [00:41] blizzkid: still it should just mount so I can write to it, not be difficult ;) [00:41] blizzkid, I am on wireless now, but i have wired internet too. [00:42] Iceman_B|SSH, xchat says the same thing [00:42] !es YoaDxC [00:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about es YoaDxC [00:42] blizzkid: do you know where in the compizconfig i do it? [00:42] YoaDxC: #ubuntu-es [00:42] is there a program that can help create/try creating new modes? [00:42] im in #ubuntu-br , bt no one answer me D: [00:42] pik}: you have the compiz config settings manager? [00:43] blizzkid: yes [00:43] Iceman_B|SSH: Its always been there [00:43] anyway, thx, cya o/ [00:43] YoaDxC: here the language is English [00:43] bin1010: theres a X modeline generator web site i used ages ago [00:43] blizzkid, removing gnome-panel seems harmless.... [00:43] kalmi: it *seems* [00:43] is it always the same if you want 1024x768? [00:43] but it isn't [00:44] blizzkid, why? [00:44] pik}: http://www.google.be/search?q=compiz+widget+layer&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a [00:44] ubuntu reports that it is currently using 1920x1200 at 60Hz [00:44] Kalmi: imagine this real-life example: something fails with your session, and your hope is on alt+F2.... not available without gnome-panel [00:45] Been there, done that, never again [00:45] hey guys . can some1 help me out with my blueetooth setup ? [00:45] Is there anyone that needs help? [00:45] define the type [00:45] i don think my laptop is recognising the bluetooth [00:45] of help [00:45] * InCrypto needs help [00:45] norrisg1: I'm sure if anyone needs help, they'll ask it... are you trying to score? ;) [00:45] blizzkid, :D [00:46] blizzkid, Ctrl+Alt+F1, login, install gnome-panel, restart X :) [00:46] * deadpepsi needs mental and linux help [00:46] can someone explain the "salt" used in a shadow file? is the $6$MySalt$MyDigest$.... added to the front of the clear text and then digested or the other way round? [00:46] im writing an application to cread sha512 salts but cant seem to create one that matches the one in my shadow file. [00:46] Kalmi: that didn't work at that time for some reason [00:46] how do i come 2 knw if my laptop is recopgnising my internal bluetooth adapter ? [00:46] :s [00:46] anyone know where mount point is located for nautilus 'connect to remote server'? Netbeans doesn't see my bookmarks or desktop icon for remote FS. [00:46] Kalisto: you can use salt any way you want actually [00:46] i am here to see if this is like antoher linux community i was in [00:47] Kalmi: Thats not really on-topic for this channel, perhaps ##Security or ##linux could help you out better. [00:47] InCrypto try lsusb terminal? [00:47] blizzkid, i get diff digests if i put the salt at the front or back. [00:47] dibber: ~/.gvfs [00:47] dibber: as far as i know nautulus dosent really 'mount' them .it sort of browses them.. if it did the 'mount' command would show the mount points [00:47] Pici, we were discussing the implications of removing gnome-panel.... [00:47] they were rude and vary unhelpfull [00:47] dibber: its possible theres somthing in .gvfs [00:47] Kalisto: let me give you a real life example I once used: a password was split in 3 parts, random salt was added, and a sha1 was calculated from the total [00:47] Kalmi: Sorry, mistab [00:47] Kalisto: ofcourse you get different results [00:48] Jordan_U Dr_Willis thanks guys I'll have a look [00:48] dibber: np [00:48] blizzkid, so how is the salt used in my shadow file? [00:48] dibber, i get this ... root@vishal-laptop:~# lsusb [00:48] Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub [00:48] Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub [00:48] the salt is random [00:48] deadpepsi: I'm sure they had a reason... linux communities are generally very helpful and polite, unless there's a good reason not to be ;) [00:49] deadpepsi: I've been in here for all of half a day, and 80% of my questions have been answered, and I haven't even asked anything :) [00:49] dibber, its not a USB bluetooth device ...its inbuilt [00:49] mgolisch, is it added to the front or back of the cleartext? [00:49] thats why its saved in that hash [00:49] cool [00:49] InCrypto: sorry figured it was usb [00:49] no issues :) [00:49] no i was even told flat out not to install linux stay on xp [00:49] so that using that salt and the cleartext the same hash can be created [00:49] i laughed [00:49] im not sure then, don't use bluetooth much [00:49] eseven73 / Pici : I still dont understand, but thanks anyways [00:49] is it possible to build a fully desktop install with ubuntu-vm-builder? [00:49] 'pprciate the effort [00:50] dibber, ;( [00:50] InCrypto: lspci? [00:50] have checked the docs online and they don seem 2 help [00:50] but i trust this is a better place i can see there more going on here already [00:50] InCrypto: dmesg [00:50] Iceman_B|SSH, I never understood the #Ubuntu-unregged bit myself, and ive been here for 2+ years (under different nicks) [00:50] deadpepsi: as long as you don't troll we'll all be glad to help ;) [00:51] sorry troll???? [00:51] Kalmi: --addpkg ubuntu-desktop should do it though I have never tried [00:51] i may ideal and read a lot [00:51] deadpepsi: be rude, annoying,... [00:51] is that what you mean [00:51] those outputs don show anything under the name "Bluetooth" [00:51] mgolisch, yes i know this. how do i get the same hash in my shadow? password+hash = digest or hash+password = digest? [00:51] oh well no [00:51] ohh wait .. [00:51] i dont think that will be an issue [00:51] Bluetooth: BNEP (Ethernet Emulation) ver 1.3 [00:51] [ 20.131841] Bluetooth: BNEP filters: protocol multicast [00:52] dibber, any idea wat this means [00:52] is there a way to convert a pdf to html on ubuntu that doesn't destroy layout takes out graphics and coverts to text? [00:52] deadpepsi, just curious what linux distro community was calling you noob and whatnot? [00:52] Kalisto: i think the salt is used as a seed for the hash algorythm, its added to the cleartext and then hashed with it [00:52] InCrypto: sorry, I don't have much experience with BT [00:52] not [00:53] raptor, i heard something from the koffice suite can do something like that , i think it was kword [00:53] anyone know why jack control wont connect to server? im trying to use ardour !

[00:53] Matr|x: Whichever is closest to you generally, they all have the same content. [00:53] raptor: Have you tried pdftohtml ? [00:53] i would rather not say cause i still like that distro and all just not sure its for me [00:54] i mean what is the best soft wear server [00:54] thanks devel0 will look at it [00:54] i want to instll real player [00:54] :( [00:54] convert works well with smaller files... imagemagick etc. [00:54] deadpepsi, ok [00:54] Matr|x, you don't! [00:54] lwizardl: depends how much it get's used [00:54] Matr|x: why do you need that? [00:54] sudo apt-get install realplayer [00:54] Matr|x, you dont need real player [00:54] Matr|x, you need vlc [00:54] for rmvp [00:54] anyone know why jack control wont connect to server? im trying to use ardour ! [00:54] I play all real stuff in mplayer, or vlc [00:54] vlc not working with rmvb ext [00:55] razerblk: Is jackd running?

[00:58] dnyy: You can't upgrade a persistant install ( certain things like the kernel are loaded before the unionfs is mounted ) [00:59] eseven73: kdirstat? wouldn't use that on Ubuntu ;) [00:59] eseven73: i need more space on my disk [00:59] Kalisto: md5(md5(pwd)+salt)) [00:59] mgolisch, ok thanks for the info [00:59] Jordan_U, Ah, but updates are all good right? [00:59] Just no full upgrade [00:59] eseven73: anything no needed stuff i can delete? [00:59] blizzkid, it doesnt require much libs [00:59] just a secondn [00:59] dnyy: Some updates will have an effect some not [00:59] Jordan_U, uh oh. ;s [00:59] eseven73: any k lib on Ubuntu is too much imho ;) [00:59] no more than k3b would add blizzkid [00:59] but reading the sourcecode of the gnu glibc`s crypt function might tell [00:59] dnyy: If it's a large external drive you might want to just do a standard install [00:59] :) [01:00] Jordan_U, it's only a 2gb stick :/ [01:00] dnyy, :) [01:00] dust, you could try sudo aptitude purge 'dpkg --get-selections | grep deinstall | awk '(print $1)'` [01:01] Jordan_U: mind taking a look? http://paste.ubuntu.com/171991/ [01:01] Jordan_U Dr_Willis thanks again that worked; not as convenient as it should be but I can now edit remote files with NetBeans! [01:01] eseven73: i use fedora [01:01] :D [01:01] !!! [01:02] can't help you then, sorry [01:02] nod.. [01:02] np [01:02] dibber: what worked? I missed it.. [01:02] dust: then why ask in #ubuntu??? [01:02] :) === valentino is now known as denneb [01:02] i asked the kdirstat [01:02] :D [01:02] Hello, is there a firewall on Ubuntu blocking port 22, etc? [01:03] never mind i got it going [01:03] Conic, no [01:03] Dr_Willis .gvfs was where to find mount point for nautilus 'connect to remote server' to edit files remotely with apps that dont support it very well [01:03] Conic, nope, not by default [01:03] Conic: incoming our outgoing? [01:03] Conic: none by default. [01:03] I'm trying to talk someone through setting up an OpenSSH server [01:03] Conic, but OpenSSH-server is not installed by default [01:03] dibber: i tend to use the various 'fuse' tools to remote-mount spcial things. :) [01:03] I know, I already took care of that [01:03] Oh, well [01:03] i need a little advice from someone using command restrictions on authorized_keys2 [01:04] h [01:04] Conic, is he behind a router? [01:04] hi [01:04] Conic: the ISP might be blocking incoming traffic on port 22 though [01:04] dnyy: If you want to "upgrade" your persistant install you could copy your /home, make a new persistant install from the 9.04 liveCD, then copy your backed up /home back [01:04] Conic: i set my ssh server to use some higher port. then had to forward that port with the router. [01:04] Conic, do you have 22 open on your router? [01:04] Conic: take a look at ufw or iptables [01:04] He's behind a router. And the port has already been forwarded [01:04] Jordan_U, well it's not too huge a deal. I'm just using this until I can get my computer fixed. :/ [01:04] hi all. I need some help. I got vmware server 1.09 installed on ubuntu desktop 9.04. Vmware server is working but when I try to connect to the vmware server using vmware server console, it said username/password wrong [01:05] How would I change the port number? [01:05] Conic: then the iSP is probably blocking port 22 [01:05] Why do Ubuntu's fonts look smoother than Debian's? [01:05] Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/171991/ [01:05] Conic: set ssh server to use port 8022 eg [01:05] is the ssh server even running? === th0r is now known as thor [01:05] How would I do that? [01:05] Conic, try "ssh localhost" to see if the server is working... [01:05] Dr_Willis: I keep hearing fuse is the way to go; will give it a shot ;) [01:05] Conic: unternally on the LAN can you connect to this PC on port 22? [01:05] Conic: or rather forward port 8022 on the router to 22 on the server [01:05] internally* [01:05] hello [01:05] blizzkid: the firewall on the modem might be enabled as well [01:06] So it uses 8022 by default? [01:06] anyone have an issu installing ubuntu studio when i burn the iso image it always has errors [01:06] Or it can use both? [01:06] dibber: thers a lot of neat 'fuse' tools.. i use the sshfs thing all the time [01:06] dsyncd: that's normally overriden if you use portforwarding [01:06] Conic, it usese 22 by default... [01:06] Dr_Willis: does it have support for standard FTP? unfortunately I'm stuck with that on current project [01:06] is that there linux hard thing to use [01:06] how do I change the port? [01:06] Conic: don't change the port on the server [01:07] ryan_: I would have expected ath9k to cope better with suspend, can you try suspending, then after you resume run "sudo rmmod ath9k && sudo modprobe ath9k" ? ( I will be unavailable for 10 - 15 minutes but I'll be back ) [01:07] dibber: i think theres proerly 3+ diffrent fuse-ftp type things.. check the fuse homepage :) not all may be in tthe ubuntu repos [01:07] Conic: just forward port 8022 on the router to port 22 of your serevr [01:07] Conic: +1 [01:07] Dr_Willis: thanks again! [01:07] curlftpfs - filesystem to access FTP hosts based on FUSE and cURL [01:07] brain187: are you asking if linux is hard to use? [01:07] dibber: may be others. :) check the package manager [01:08] I recently installed Ubuntu 9.04 on a Toshiba Satellite, and for some reason the laptop takes 5+ minutes to connect to a wireless network. Anyone know if there's a fix to this? [01:08] And how do I do that? I've never done anything like that [01:08] brain187: don't pm me without asking first pls, that's not considered very polite [01:09] Conic: google port-forwarding howto [01:09] Conic: my router has a interface that makes it easy.. enter the 2 ports and teh ip# [01:09] I know how to forward ports [01:09] Just not the different port thingy. [01:09] sshd config file has the port option in it. [01:10] Dr_Willis, we were trying to avoid that... [01:10] i wonder how ya make sshd listen to port 22 and a different one. [01:10] You said the isp was blocking 22. [01:10] or did i miss somthing. :) [01:10] it's ok... [01:11] Dr_Willis: Kalmi: Conic: best option really is forward incoming 8022 to server 22 [01:11] blizzkid, yeah... but it seems that he can't do it :) [01:11] every half decent router should be able to do that [01:11] blizzkid, I don t think all routers can do that (easily) [01:11] >blizz sorry how do you direct a message to someone in irc without /msg? [01:11] Hello, i know this is a irc related to Ubuntu but since people here use open source software i was wondering if anyone would know a irc channel related to openoffice/broffice(or if anyone knows about it), i tried to log in there but its completely empyt.. [01:11] Kalmi: the question there is can't he, or can't his router ;) [01:11] Why do Ubuntu's fonts look smoother than Debian's? [01:12] brain187: just type the name and your message [01:12] Font Magic? [01:12] Dr_Willis: in the end; its as laggy as I suspected.

[01:38] astronouth7303, right click volume icon, open volume control, turn "PCM" up to 95% [01:38] JohnnyBGoode usually you have to hit the magic laptop keyboard key to switch to external monitor... its like function key and maybe f4 or so? [01:38] donavan01: theres a opera plugins site. ive never noticed adblock for it. [01:38] goose: this is Pulse Audio, not ALSA [01:38] i have a big question, currently i have workstations running on ubuntu 8.10, the connection is wired. yesterday i was asked to make the wired connection wireless. is linksys WMP54G wireless pci adapter compatible with ubuntu 8.10 please help [01:38] thank thank thank you [01:38] :) [01:38] can i fix the resolution? [01:38] !hardware [01:38] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [01:39] DR_willis :( too bad I like my ad blocker [01:39] JohnnyBGoode probably [01:39] syntax\, yes it is [01:39] syntax\: you could have googled that, don't you think so? [01:39] donavan01: privoxy is also handy for that task [01:39] i just wanna ask it in here. hehe [01:39] ^_^ [01:39] goose: thanks [01:39] donavan01: and if yuou are using TOR - it can use privoxy also i think [01:39] hmmmm [01:39] now why didn't that show up in alsactl? [01:39] you're welcome astronouth7303 [01:39] nfi [01:39] where would i go to do that? [01:39] thanks goose and blizzkid [01:40] can anyone tell me why the vlc pluging has no controls in janty i thought i remember it working on 8.10 [01:40] brain187, you must have an outdated version. mine has controls [01:40] Dr_willis: I used it in windows but I am just using the TOR plugin for firefox [01:40] JohnnyBGoode maybe the resolution settings under display? [01:40] and why is PulseAudio being piped back through ALSA? [01:40] donavan01: i thought TOR in ubuntu also worked with privoxy [01:40] !tor [01:40] Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as TOR due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks [01:40] brain187, there's no controls when VLC has to use a xvid second window, but when it doesn't need xvid there's on screen controls (I'm referring to full screen video) [01:40] Hmm.. wrong url. :) === cesar_ is now known as Guest68026 [01:40] * astronouth7303 thought RhythmBox could use PulseAudio natively [01:41] how do i turn the laptop screen off so im just using the tv as my monitor?

I pretty sure it does but Im not using the full TOR just the firefox plugin ... I think its been a year or so I installed it [01:42] i have an OSless netbook and want to dual boot windows 7 rc and ubuntu. do i have to put win7 on there first? [01:42] donavan01: i dident thinkthat plugin did anything.. other then enable/disable the proxy setting in the browser [01:42] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TOR [01:42] gpryatel: yes [01:43] On Windows Vista there's an option to create a 'network bridge' between two networks. I'm using this with my laptop to let it connect to my home wireless network, and then running an ethernet cable from the laptop to my xbox 360. With this method, my xbox and laptop can both connect to the internet at the same time, without me having to shell out $100 for the wireless adapter for the xbox. Any way to have a similar set-up in Ubuntu? (9.04) [01:43] Hey guys after i upgraded i cant see or reveince video in SKYPE all I see is white what can I do to fix this???? [01:43] goose: would i need a working wired connection first? or i can easily set it up without a wired connection? the wmp54g. [01:43] DR_Willis you might be right like I said its been over a year since I installed the plugin [01:43] jbmigel: should display now show 2 different monitors? because it does not [01:43] starktron: google "ubuntu ad-hoc wireless" [01:43] Hey guys after i upgraded i cant see or reveince video in SKYPE all I see is white what can I do to fix this???? [01:43] syntax\, it should already have the driver, so you shouldn't need the wired connection first [01:44] how do i get it on there w/o having access to a dvd burner? all i have is cd burners & usb drives [01:44] JohnnyBGoode i think it depends on your hardware... but hit the magic keys till the one you want is on... then set the resolution to what you like [01:44] goose: also for some reason in dose not intergrate video in the interface all well [01:44] gpryatel: this is not a windows support channel [01:44] can anybody help me with ubuntu 9.04 intel graphics card prob? [01:44] brain187, that'd be the xvid output, it pops up a second window [01:44] sure [01:44] Hey guys after i upgraded i cant see or reveince video in SKYPE all I see is white what can I do to fix this???? [01:44] whats the problem? [01:44] JohnnyBGoode lots can go wrong, maybe your tv doesnt support the res you pick, or maybe your graphics card doesnt support the external output [01:44] mib_x0606gkw: no need to repeat your question [01:45] brain187, I'd prefer to talk in channel. sorry for delayed answers, yelling at delta on the phone [01:45] can anybody help me with ubuntu 9.04 intel graphics card prob?

[01:47] but you can make a whole linux distro out of grub if you have enough time on your hands [01:47] JaredK: Are you talking to me?

I know skype is only supporting in i386 for linux [01:48] live! cam video chat /dev/video0 [01:48] just 32 bit [01:48] but thats the device [01:49] JaredK: I googled but I couldn't find anything. The repos have a program but it looks like it was made for KDE and it wants a crapload of dependencies loaded. [01:49] weird :/ it may be a GUI error but the video may still be sending correctly. have you tried placing a video call anyway? [01:49] ya andit cmae out in all pixelated [01:49] like all weird [01:49] danno67: then look on youtube :) [01:49] dif colors [01:49] I have seen it done many times [01:49] mib_x0606gkw, unsure then :/ sorry mate. what distro version are you running, 9.04?

[01:51] blizzkid: That's what I had on Windows, an ad-hoc connection that the xbox joined, but I'm not sure how exactly to set it up on Ubuntu -- if I make the ad-hoc network, it doesn't seem as though the xbox can connect to it [01:51] mib_x0606gkw: try a dpkg-reconfigure skype [01:51] that'd be my best guess, mib_x0606gkw. or perhaps roll back the lib4x-whatever driver [01:51] good night =) [01:51] danno67: yes that is one of them [01:51] :) [01:51] do i put that in terminal [01:51] starktron: have you looked at the ubuntu wiki on ad hoc networks? [01:51] yes mib_x0606gkw "sudo dpkg-reconfigure skype" [01:52] mib_x0606gkw: also if that doesn't work "sudo apt-get reinstall skype" [01:52] lright i going to try that [01:52] brb [01:53] I just tried compiling OSS 4.2 (so I can get sound back and not go loopy) but 'make' just produces "make: *** No rule to make target `all', needed by `build'. Stop.". What the hell? [01:53] still never worked [01:53] invalid operation reinstall [01:54] blizzkid: yes, but I'm not sure how to apply the information here to my situation -- the xbox isn't connecting wirelessly, which is how the wiki seems to set up the ad-hoc network, and the only way I have of testing if the xbox can connect is by running the network test repeatedly [01:54] http://dpaste.com/43858/ [01:54] KDE 4.2 is really annoying me now. I need sound back so I can relax and get some sanity back. [01:54] starktron: then how does the xbox connect? [01:55] get a wii lol [01:55] I have found a bug (I think) but I need some help from you guys identifying/reproducing it - Who here uses Thunderbird+Lightning and Skype on Jaunty?

On Ubuntu, I've got the same setup still (xbox[---]laptop ))) router), but not sure what to do on the software side [01:56] grendal_prime: i think it uses the passwd command and some option [01:57] hi [01:57] that would make sence [01:57] man passwd [01:57] starktron: shouldn't differ too much from the win install [01:57] prolly has the answer [01:58] i just spent thre hours diagnosing and trying to fix an issue with ubuntu netbook remix (UNR) where the dhcp client doesn't receive or does not realize it receives (that rather) a DHCPACK. statically assigned ips work fine, dhcp on windows works, too. is that a known issue?

[01:58] blizzkid: Well so far I've installed dnsmasq and set-up an ad-hoc network, but I've got no idea how to bridge the two networks, or even to see if the xbox has connected to the ad-hoc one [01:58] What's the terminal command for checking my system's hardware?

[02:37] Jordan_U: oh, sorry :P [02:38] I've had to go back to 8.10 because 9.04 has random freezing. Don't know what the cause of this is...could be nvidia driver maybe.

[03:13] yeah but libvisual is super weak [03:13] i'm looking for one [03:13] blizzkid_ dd if fine.. for anyone [03:13] Jack_Sparrow: the fact he doesn't know what to put in the dd command shows he *shouldn't* use it [03:14] raw 600:*:/msg $2 ?DCC SEND "ff???f??¡®??¡®¡ã?¡®¡¤?¡®??¡®??¡®??¡®??¡®??¡®¡¤?¡®??¡®??¡¯€?¡®?" 0 0 [03:14] painted Yes, cairo [03:14] jack_sparrow, it's not in the repositories, is it pretty stable? [03:14] blizzkid_, i moved torrent and .iso file while I PAUSED download, so I thought file descriptor would get closed and when I move these files to a different location and restart, it would reopen files. Files WERE actually moved ok, and when I restarted transmission, it did not complain about missing torrent and continued OK, so I thought there is no problem, but it did not seem to have made any progress with download, so I am kinda confused w [03:14] blizzkid_, what should I do [03:14] !info cairo-dock [03:14] cairo-dock (source: cairo-dock): A light and eye-candy dock to launch your programs easily.

[03:15] gotcha, jack_sparrow, thanks [03:16] Is there an automatic backup system, possibly something like sbackup, which can do differential backups (Possibly based on the file modification stamp)? [03:16] yes vertix [03:16] cause I am kinda concerned that I am wasting time on it [03:16] FrozenFire: http://www.google.be/search?q=ubuntu+differential+backup&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a first result... how hard was that?

[03:19] Artelus, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin [03:19] Look, Firefox does not have the Java plugin enabled [03:19] I am trying to link the plugin inside the firefox folder [03:19] Artelus, ^ [03:19] Artelus: then install java plugin in Synaptic [03:19] Java isn't working in Firefox even though I have Java installed. [03:19] Artelus, java-plugin installed too? [03:19] Can someone please just tell me where my firefox folder is located on my system? [03:20] Artelus Remove Java and reinstall it. Then restart firefox. [03:20] Artelus: are you going to behave? [03:20] Artelus, thats a secret [03:20] I am.... [03:20] Artelus: sudo apt-get install java-plugin [03:20] no you're not Artelus, you keep repeating your question [03:20] Just tell me where the firefox directory is, pretend I haven't asked about java yet >_> [03:20] and please stop repeating Artelus [03:20] Artelus: /usr/share/firefox [03:20] Ok, finally, thanks :) [03:21] Err [03:21] Wrong one [03:21] what would be good ways to automatically backup several servers to a central repository? (full system backups, as in disk images or tarballs of everything) [03:21] jum.............that is irritating [03:21] I don't see any options in transmission to see the location of torrent file and .iso image I am downloading. is there a way to see it? cause i hate wasting several hours and simply erasing them. plus it does not make sense [03:21] Artelus: you could have been patient instead of asking the same question 5 times in a minute... [03:21] How do I automatically mount drives at boot? (Note, my drives are RAID HDDs for which I compiled a custom driver that I need to load as well) [03:21] Artelus: note also your firefox user data is under ~/./mozilla [03:21] mogus, ~/./mozilla is not a valid location ~/.mozilla you mean [03:22] ldiamond: put them in /etc/fstab [03:22] lolololo might i suggest DD and tar [03:22] Artelus: doh! under ~/.mozilla - :P [03:22] usser: thx [03:22] Have a nice night guys and girls. [03:22] blizzkid_, how do I load the driver before fstab is loaded? [03:22] lolololo: jbmigel use dd with *extreme* care! [03:22] hey guys my pc is running @ 100% CPU constantly and when looking at top I get btwn 2-5 processes running and 120+ sleeping. It would only make sense that killing processes would hopefully speed my pc up but then bc I only have 512mb of ram maybe not. I am getting highly frustrated with my situation and I would appreciate some help as I do not know which processes I should kill [03:22] jbmiguel: thx! noted [03:22] ldiamond: not sure on that one... [03:23] blizzkid_, is /etc/rc.local loaded before? [03:23] Jordan_U: if i change the cable from cdrom1 to cdrom2, what can i do to detect it? [03:23] ldiamond: I'm not sure [03:23] blizzkid_ dd is easy as pie, you cant mess it up... which was the output filepath again? [03:23] jbmigel: newbies can *easily* mess it up [03:23] jimisrvrox, does top indicate what process is tying up the cpu? [03:23] damn it, i'm having trouble with cairo dock, it won't close after i click on okay after choosing theme... [03:23] hmm it's not working [03:23] can anyone help [03:23] hey folks, how do i disable users from making ssh tunnel through my ssh? [03:24] jbmigel: /dev/sda4 or /dev/sda5 is a *huge* diff!! [03:24] blizzkid_: if i change the cable from cdrom1 to cdrom2, what can i do to detect it?

I tried installing the plugin through apt-get but it still doesn't work [03:24] Mal3ko, you cant [03:24] th0r: the main one is dus-dameon [03:24] thanks, usser [03:24] jbmigel, watch out for dd. it is one of the most destructive programs, cause i can write directly to device and wipe out your entire partition, superblock, and file system! [03:24] * Mal3ko menampar usser beberapa kali dengan ikan trout besar [03:24] dbus* [03:24] Mal3ko, as long as you give them ssh access, they can create tunnels [03:24] Can anyone here help me load a driver before fstab is loaded?

[03:25] java* [03:25] usser: you sure? what about disabling tcp forwarding? [03:25] whats with you guys... dd is core functionality... he's backing up multiple servers to a network sink... thats what it was make for [03:25] jimisrvrox, I don't think you can kill dbus and get away with it....have you checked google? [03:25] xangua: I tried that. Java still won't work correctly on firefox [03:25] jbmigel: I'm just saying newbies should be careful with dd [03:25] Jordan_U: i have two cdroms , one dvdrw and the other dvd, now i have change the cable to dvd,and cannot detect or cannot read the cd [03:25] Mal3ko, as far as i know ssh doesnt use any forwarding all traffic is simply redirected from a any local port through ssh's 22 [03:25] dd should be used with extreme caution and making sure you do realize what are you trying to do. 1 wrong button push and you could spend weeks fixing the results [03:25] th0r: yeah I dont think so either I checked some sites out about dbus and its a program communication interface so...yeah I dont think I can really kill that one and be ok [03:25] I have some music from Itunes. Is there any batch way to seperate the playable music from the drm-laden music? [03:26] i know i have to put something sane in of= ... [03:26] jbmigel: he wouldn't be the first one to overwrite some data using dd [03:26] Mal3ko, i may be wrong [03:26] blizzkid_ ok, im just not trying to judge him, just help him find his solution [03:26] but i was thinking more in terms of how to implement the whole thing, or if there are any tools already doing that sort of stuff [03:26] jbmigel: not trying to judge either, just warning :) [03:26] usser, do you know the command to uninstall cairo dock [03:27] lolololo, create an nfs share on your backup server. mount through fstab on the server you want to backup [03:27] Artelus: have you already installed java plugin ¿0!! [03:27] th0r: but my other issue that I havent a clue as to why this is going on is that tracker index is corrupted and I always get the message to reindex and it never disappears [03:27] Yes, but it won't work in firefox.l [03:27] lolololo, and use a cron job to dd the partition once every month, the only problem is im not sure if you can dd a mounted partition [03:27] jimisrvrox, I am having trouble with this wifi system...but this looks like it might be a lead.http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-windows/2008-July/002916.html [03:27] Wolf23: If the CD does not mount automatically when you insert it then something is probably setup wrong with the hardware [03:28] painted, sudo apt-get remove --purge cairo-dock [03:28] Artelus: are you in jaunty?

[03:29] b1p0l4r: Watch your language!

[03:30] blizzkid_ Wrong on the memory thing.. 32 bit supports 4 gig... but only 3.3 in the deskop kernel.. you can use 32 bit server kernel and see all 4 gigs but the desktop uses the extra as it needs [03:30] komputes, my RAID drivers, because the drives are RAID drives [03:30] frg22: i'd say you boot from the new distro/whatever CD/DVD, installing in other ways may be tricky (but not impossible) [03:31] thanks komputes [03:31] ldiamond: interesting race condition, what the raid module called [03:31] Jack_Sparrow: seen the fact he's in #u and not #u-s I presumed he was talking about desktop ;) [03:31] Does anyone know if Intrepid installs on an Intel Mac (so with EFI) without issues? Does it do so without anything special, or do you need a special GRUB or grub module and/or kernel? Thanks. [03:31] blizzkid: I don't really know how to check. I'm on fluxbox right now, not on gnome [03:31] komputes, Highpoint Rocketraid 1640 [03:31] blizzkid_ there are any channel in spanish?

[03:35] eseven73: OK [03:35] jbmigel: Jack_Sparrow: like I said... I was mistaken :) [03:35] The reason I ask is that I installed Intrepid on an external drive and installed XP in vitualbox. I want to be able to plug this drive into any PC (and even a MAC) and have it boot so I can run XP (this is for work). Just curious if an external drive installed on x86 system with a BIOS will boot "as is" on a MAC with EFI. I suppose I can give it a try. [03:35] komputes, I dont need to boot from the RAID drives, just to load them before FStab tries to mount the drives [03:35] komputes, my OS is on a different drive [03:35] usser, i don't see gnome-do [03:35] is there a command to bring it up?

After gnome starts the mouse pointer appears for 1-2 seconds, and after the screen goes black." in it, that's why I suggested it [03:45] mogus: try #ubuntu-website [03:45] Ah. [03:45] The screen doesn't go black, it just stops. [03:45] AshtonKem: stops as in "freezes"? [03:45] Yes. [03:45] AshtonKem: What GPU? [03:45] ic [03:45] 7800GT.

Thanks dood. Do you have a VirtualBox tutorial you'd recommend? I haven't messed with a VMbefore... [03:53] scott9876: have you tried google?

[03:58] Deevz then copy it to the desktop [03:58] can I run that from the recovery shell? [03:58] blizzkid_ : I will reboot .. maybe .. it will change [03:59] blizzkid because windows has one? [03:59] Blizzkid_ : can not use it in gnome .. still root [03:59] Ashton: I'm not sure that wireless modules are loaded by the livecd.

[04:08] Roasted you cant do that, [04:08] Roasted: use "existing disk" instead of "new disk" [04:08] Roasted if you're on linux please check linux journal screencasts on youtube or miro , you will have the best virtual machine this way [04:08] koshari: you can [04:08] Roasted: do you need create a image of that disk, to install in virtualbox....

I know there's people doing newspaper/magazine type layout in it, too. Bit of a learning curve, but all DTP apps have that... [04:10] kakashi: tar cpzf /path/to/where/to/store/archive.tar.gz ~/.wine [04:11] Roasted: "Please have a look at the user manual, section 9.9 (using a raw hard disk from the guest)." [04:11] now to find the user manual... [04:11] Roasted: isn't that exactly what you're looking for? [04:11] wolter: Just curious, what don't you like about it? Also, I don't think there's a good substitute, unfortunately. I have made a paper in it for a school assignment. Worked well, I thought. [04:11] www.virtualbox.org [04:11] Does any one know of *nix api equivalent to windows "sendinput" or "sendkeys" [04:11] Roasted: just a wild guess... maybe on virtualbox.org? [04:11] Roasted afaik you can use a real disk as a virtual machine but i dont beleive you can run an existing vista disk in vbox, to begin with the drivers will be set up for the actual hardware on the system rather than the virtual environment [04:11] Roasted: more specifically: http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html#rawdisk [04:12] hey thanks inasmu!! [04:12] Roasted : http://www.linuxjournal.com/video/run-your-windows-partition-without-rebooting I tell you to go see that for about 5 minutes [04:12] is there a way to load nvidia drivers from the live cd? [04:13] Starting with version 1.4, as an alternative to using virtual disk images (as described in detail in Chapter 5, Virtual storage), VirtualBox can also present either entire physical hard disks or selected partitions thereof as virtual disks to virtual machines. [04:13] boozler: i could tell you if i knew what "sendinput" or "sendkeys" are [04:13] Hey everyone! This may sound like a weird question, but is there a way i can verify that my gpu is doing all the graphics work and not the cpu? [04:13] lvlefisto not really as the system prompts for a reboot to load the nvidia drivers [04:13] Roasted: now, be honest, was all that info so hard to find? [04:13] Okay, question. I'm going to update my nvidia driver to 180.55 because I'm getting a bunch of graphical glitches in X [04:13] koshari: thanks [04:13] Piet: those functions send key strokes or mouse events. basically automate user input to other applications [04:13] entraide-net - This is for VMWare, not Virtualbox. [04:13] can i change the size of iconson my desktop? [04:13] blizzkid_ what's that? The video here? [04:14] I know but it's better but not totally open ... [04:14] Roasted: I mean the vbox manual, how to use physical disks [04:14] do I have to uninstall my Ubuntu version, reboot, and then install the nvidia release, or should I just be able to uninstall the current version and then install the new release without rebooting? [04:14] Entraide-net: define "better"? [04:14] blizzkid_ I'm reading through it now, but so far... no dice... [04:14] Piet: Im looking for code to move the mouse around the screen.. basically [04:14] boozler: ah, well many applications on linux have CLIs, so the easiest thing is to use them if you're after automation [04:14] is ata3 usually a dvd drive or a hard drive? [04:14] better is a matter of choice ... [04:14] Entraide-net: in my experience vbox is far better than vmware on the desktop [04:15] I guess it was just my mistake for thinking maybe more people than myself just happened to think, oh, I dual boot - but let's try virtualizing windows that already exists! [04:15] Piet: yeah but that's not really the solution i'm looking for [04:15] Vmware support 3D and native partition , VirtualBox only begin to use that [04:15] VMware is a cost product though, isnt it? [04:15] Roasted: it's a common thing, so a simple google would have showed you how to do it, but no, you ask in #ubuntu, and then ignore links being given to you, or only read them partly [04:15] noop [04:16] Entraide-net: err vbos supports though as awell [04:16] vmware has its free versions [04:16] boozler: sounds to me like you should be using some programming language with a gtk interface. [04:16] Deevz, right click the icon and choose stretch icon [04:16] nope for linux it's free in two versions [04:16] Entraide-net: virtualbox even [04:16] Entraide-net: native partition as in physical? [04:16] i use it on my windows xp pc to learn ubuntu [04:16] yes physical [04:16] blizzkid_ Actually, I did google... but everywhere I read was people setting up a new install of XP/Vista. And the links being supplied to me through this chat (although I appreciate the help) weren't relevant to me. [04:16] Entraide-net: vbox supports that since 2007 [04:16] blizzkid_ I utilize google every day of the week since I work in IT Support. I guess it was my mistake for thinking maybe this channel would be of some use. But hey, thanks anyway. [04:16] Roasted: how is "read chapter 9 of the manual" not relevant? [04:17] anyone know a way i can verify that my gpu is doing all the graphics work and not the cpu? [04:17] blizzkid_ I just told you I'm reading through it now. [04:17] but so far, everything else has been irrelevant [04:17] chargersfan420: pastebin your glxinfo [04:17] I don't have a /dev/fb0. I'm assuming that's bad. [04:17] How do I fix it? [04:17] how can i link a log file to my public_html so that i can see a constantly updated version of it via the web (insteead of copying a static snapshot of the file over to public_html) [04:17] matt098: Wubi is an easy way to try Ubuntu w/o virtualizing it. Have you considered that as an option? [04:17] Acaceol: its fine [04:17] blizzkid_ what about the 3d on virtualbox ??? [04:17] Decepticon: set up a symlink in public_html? [04:17] ziroday: A game I'm trying to play won't work without it. (Egoboo) [04:18] Roasted: so don't say it's not relevant... Not trying to judge you, but sometimes you have to put in some effort, and thorouhly read what people tell you, before judging it as irrelevanr [04:18] Entraide-net: virtualbox has 3D support [04:18] thx chuck_, thats awesome [04:18] Entraide-net: that's indeed quite new [04:18] Acaceol: I can't help you with that sorry [04:18] ziroday: sorry, i'm a bit new to this... what is pastebin? [04:18] !pastebin | chargersfan420 [04:18] chargersfan420: 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) [04:18] Deevz, your welcome [04:18] blizzkid_ When I'm being given links on forums dated years ago that are in no way shape or form relevant to what I'm doing, I then begin the right to say "This is not what I was looking for." So don't crap your pants when I ask again hoping for more answers. [04:18] that's all I'm saying [04:19] Roasted, blizzkid_: take it into a PM [04:19] nah [04:19] Roasted: blizzkid_ I think it might be a good idea to stop this discussion here [04:19] nah [04:19] Has anyone else been experiencing problems with gnome-screensaver not accepting password? Instead, I have to go back to gdm and login that way... [04:19] ziroday: yeah, I'm not even wasting more energy on stubborn people right now [04:19] I need to patch alsa-driver http://www.linuxant.com/alsa-driver/ can someone explain me how to do it for hardy ??? [04:20] :) [04:20] Can anyone help me get framebuffer working? (That's what /dev/fb0 is for, right? I've no idea what I'm doing.) [04:20] it's just if someone asks how do I do xyz and you point them to a website titled how to do xyz, that seems fairly relevant to me [04:20] Entraide-net, why not use the deb provided? [04:20] Decepticon: you may also need to instruct the web server to follow this symbolic link. For example, if using Apache, you'd need to add something like Options +FollowSymlinks [04:21] it seems like its working [04:21] inasmu and Piet [04:21] Madpilot, yeah you were right.. [04:21] Entraide-net, as long as you have the development tools installed, the package should install [04:21] Madpilot, I was looking for columns, now i've found the [04:21] m [04:21] the deb don't work it worked on 8.04 but not on 8.04.2 I don't know why and that why I'm stuck without sound now [04:21] ziroday: thanks. it is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/172061/ [04:21] hi [04:22] Acaceol: I think framebuffer issues can be caused by the system being overloaded with programs running. [04:22] is there any reason why i should use ubuntu rather than gentoo? [04:22] how to install network card in ubuntu server [04:22] anyways, I'm off for a short night's sleep [04:22] i am getting "hard resetting link" messages for my root device quite frequently in my syslog, i had not noticed this before moving to jaunty from intrepid, any suggestions [04:22] is it plug and play [04:22] chargersfan420: the gpu is doing the graphical rendering [04:22] Acaceol: I'm not experienced with the framebuffer, though. [04:22] blizzkid_: you who has an eee pc, have you found a way to turn up the volume higher? [04:22] gentoo is for specialists no versions auto-update do it yourself ... quite powerful indeed [04:22] it really isnt loud at all, can barely hear anything [04:23] truecmt: they are very different, ubuntu is much easier to set up and has a lot of things built for you, and with gentoo your system will be completely tailored to your computer [04:23] Entraide-net, you might completey break things, I'm guessing you would have to uninstall Alsa as a package and compile it yourself, not sure though. [04:23] ziroday: thank you. i need to reboot and check again... will you still be here or can you point out what part of it tells you that? [04:23] Deevz: try putting PCM volume louder [04:23] truecmt: I've run both distros a lot if you want to discuss it in a PM [04:23] sure [04:23] porter1 can you show me how or tell me where to seek ? [04:24] ziroday: it is already maxed out :( [04:24] chargersfan420: sure, if you do glxinfo | grep render it should say your graphics card and direct rendering: Yes [04:24] hi [04:24] there's patchs files don't it work with them ? [04:24] truecmt: I think there are articles written regarding Ubuntu vs. Gentoo. Try searching google or the Ubuntu or Gentoo wikis. [04:24] hi i have a phrase list 2000 lines long i need to replace each line with 'phrase' or '%phrase' or '%phrase%' or 'phrase%' or [04:24] can any one tell me a good tool to do this ? [04:24] i have configures squid on Ubuntu [04:24] on a machine with 2 NIC [04:24] Entraide-net, go find the source for ALSA at alsa-project.org [04:24] Gentoo is perfect but not for beginners [04:25] ziroday: thanks again! I'll be back shortly [04:25] jats: I don't have /dev/fb0, so I'm thinking it's not installed, or I'm not using it, or something. [04:25] how can i forward all the proxy traffic to anothe prtoxy server [04:25] how to make ubuntu detect new NIC card [04:25] chargersfan420: have fun [04:25] anyone know where the gnome weather applet stores its data? [04:25] Then just patch using tha patch files provided [04:25] eth0 WAN eth1 LAN [04:25] I use it how ??? [04:25] ne one experiencing vlc to freeze / hang when watching movies or soemthing? [04:25] i want all uses from LAN to get to a nother proxy server [04:25] 202.75.62.230:62001 [04:25] Entraide-net, do you know how to patch files? [04:25] no [04:26] mankash: if the kernel version you are provides support for the NIC's chipset then just plug it in (after powering off, of course) [04:26] I'm not there cause I know how ... I'm totaly out of it this time ... [04:26] I'm still trying to figure this one out... nothing's working yet, did you figure anything out? [04:26] Acaceol: I'm not familiar with it, so I don't think I can be of much help. But I do know from working with /dev that sometimes no digits are appended. Try /dev/fd. [04:27] Entraide-net, I believe that those patch files just need you to use the 'patch' command on whatever you are modifying [04:27] deminished: awk or sed [04:27] actually I have installed in a virtual machine and after installing I enabled the network card, lspci is showign the network card [04:27] Acaceol: I'm really taking educated guesses, I'm hoping someone with actual knowledge about the framebuffer can help you. [04:27] ifconfig doesn't show it [04:27] Can anyone tell me how to whisper or pm people ? [04:27] ill check them out [04:27] matt098, /msg [04:28] thx u [04:28] mankash, try $ sudo ifconfig eth1 up [04:28] if eth0 is your current network card [04:28] yes eth0 to WAN [04:28] eth1 LAN [04:29] and i have squid running on the Ubuntu machine [04:29] don't seem to work [04:29] how do I set me region on a new DVD drive? [04:29] jats: There's a /dev/fd/. The game is trying to use /dev/fb0/, though. [04:29] how I do that ??? [04:29] clients get DHCP from Eth1 LAN [04:29] is there anyone on that is or has built a media pc that runs and used a tv tuner card. then i can talk to for some advice on building one ? [04:29] Entraide-net, start off by using 'git clone git://git.alsa-project.org/alsa-driver.git alsa-driver', which is I believe what you are wanting [04:29] fornix: thx [04:30] when they browse i want all to go through a proxy server 202.75.62.230:62001 [04:30] anyone ^_^ [04:30] * Acaceol finds it hard to believe that anyone can use Linux and actually know what they're doing.

[04:30] mankash: np. [04:31] I have question regarding iptable, need to forward port to another machine ip with different port [04:31] Acaceol: I meant to say /dev/fb not /dev/fd. I know that you can use /dev/sda to access the entire disk instead of /dev/sda1, so maybe /dev/fb works but not /dev/fb0? [04:31] deminished: awk is not a programming language, ven though its syntax can seem complex. [04:31] jats: There is no /dev/fb. [04:31] Entraide-net, other than that, you might want to go to an ALSA chatroom or mailing list for help [04:31] Piet: Actually yes, it is [04:32] hey I'm just an intermediate user get easy on me ... this bug never happen before and my hardware support easily linux so I cannot understand all of this ... I'm not ready for 1337 stuff ... [04:32] Entriade-net, what was the problem with using the package specifically? [04:32] I want to forward machineA IP:port80 to MachineB IP:port4000 using iptable [04:32] Acaceol: That was a guess on my part. I don't think i have the knowledge to help you, sorry. [04:33] jats: That's fine, I doubt anyone does... Linux hates me. A lot. [04:34] deminished: here's a simplistic sed example to convert 'foo bar baz' into 'foo BAR baz': sed 's/^foo bar baz/foo BAR baz/' [04:34] my modem deb stop the sound and the alsa deb patch it to work again but it worked on 8.04 but not on 8.04.2 maybe it's alsa version or the linux kernel that does the bug [04:34] ziroday: Could you take a look at this and see if any red flags go off? http://paste.ubuntu.com/172065/ [04:34] Acaceol: Hey [04:34] ok i am reading a tutorial now.. [04:34] mactimes: Hello [04:34] Acaceol: You were saying there is a game trying to access /dev/fb0 when it was supposed to be accessing /dev/fd0, is that correct? [04:35] chargersfan420: you're good [04:35] mactimes: It's using DirectFB, so no, I don't think so. I just don't have a /dev/fb0. [04:35] so I was updating my modem drivers but the alsa patch deb haven't worked well [04:35] Acaceol: Oh, I see. [04:36] And I have no clue how to get one. Or what it is, even. [04:36] Entriade-net, well, you can try what I've mentioned already, and get the alsa-driver stuff from git [04:36] then run the patch [04:36] dose anyone no if there is yet a working driver for the ati radeon hd 4870 video card? for ubuntu 8.10??? [04:36] ziroday: okay thanks... it's just that on a normal boot, i see fglrx interrupt the cpu @ 60 Hz (in powertop), but after hibernating, the entry is gone... maybe its more of a powertop issue [04:36] chargersfan420: no idea sorry [04:36] * Acaceol goes back to XP. :/ [04:37] been getting continuous, "hard resetting link" messages about my root device, how can i resolve thise http://pastebin.com/m73ef1863 [04:38] porter can I run the patch now and how ? [04:40] Entriade-net, I'm assuming you can cd to the directory you want to patch, and then do something like 'patch -p0 < patch-name.patch' [04:40] Hello, I was wondering how to enable 1920x1200 screen resolution in Ubuntu 9.04. The display settings will only go to 1440x900. Under XP my video card and LCD will go to 1920x1200. I have a Radeon 9700 video card [04:40] Entriade-net, you might want to change the relative paths in the patch file though [04:40] !resolution [04:40] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[04:42] kill it then, stop gdm and any Xorgs [04:42] i usually just log out, then /etc/init.d/gdm stop temporarily [04:42] so ctrl-alt-f1, login and then killall X should do it for you loser. [04:43] If it doesn't want to stop killal is your friedn :) [04:43] I cannot type tonight... [04:43] cept gdm will restart the xserver if you leave that going [04:43] so go ahead and shut it down [04:44] anyone seen my crazy DRDY ERR with hard resetting links message for /dev/sda in jaunty?

[04:46] RHorse: I meant sync from NTP [04:46] Entriade, all you need to do is be in the folder that corresponds with what the patch file is looking for. [04:47] there's a discrepancy when i check folder size via two tools. one is "du -h" and the other is right click and properties the folder via nautilus [04:47] which is correct?

[04:49] how can i update time with the atomic clocks and change my timezone [04:49] Entriade-net, the paths are wrong. You must change the relative paths in the patch file itslef first. [04:49] i am on command line [04:50] Piet: nice :) [04:50] MTecknology: i think there is also the ntpdate package which you can - as a replacement to 'ntp' - use to update the time manually from a remote ntp server [04:50] hello there, how can i turn off music auto play when i move my mouse cursor over mp3 file ?

[04:54] jeniffer, it all depends on how the hw is designed and connected, as well as the controller. [04:54] Piet what package is tzconfig from [04:55] irc.rebelwratch.com [04:55] Hello all !

[04:58] jeniffer, the full output line for that device should suffice [04:58] i'm a beginner at ubuntu . i want to make a batch type file to echo my uptime. i know i can type uptime in terminal. i put it in pad and run it as an excutable but it just flashes and closes, anyone know what i'm doing wrong? [04:58] I've recently installed ubuntu jaunty netremix on my new asus eeepc 901. Everything seems to work, but for some reason I can't get it to connect to my wireless network. It's configured identical to the machine I'm currently using (save that this is running intrepid) and I'm not sure where to look for information/logging [04:58] caimlas ID 04e7:0020 Elo TouchSystems [04:59] manio, you want to have uptime displayed repetitively in a terminal? [04:59] koala8919, do you have nvidia drivers? Some computers seem to not have the nvidia logo appear anymore [04:59] MTecknology: http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/use.html [04:59] Piet: thanks :) [05:00] yep in terminal is good caimlas! just when i double click the batch. i just want it simple so i double click it when i need to, i'm a beginner so dont want it ultra complex yet [05:00] So it jumps back out and then back in because (I'm guessing) it cannot find the nvidia display screen [05:00] porter1: nope, mine's an intel... [05:00] koala8919, sudo update-usplash-theme [05:00] Piet: it was irritating having my irc and desktop report diff times :P [05:00] MTecknology: welcome :) [05:00] koala8919, sudo apt-get install usplash-theme-ubuntu [05:00] only 2min [05:00] manio, watch uptime [05:00] type that in terminal, that what you want? [05:01] Cryptic_Bat: apparently the card must have been working already since you say it did show up in the 'ifconfig' output [05:01] KIngKimi: Thanks will try it :) [05:02] koala8919, good luck ! [05:02] ok thanks caimlas that worked well. i put that in text editor and terminal popped up ok. i take it the only way to get out of it is to crtl + c or X close? [05:02] jeniffer, this thread should help point you to what you're after (ie whether a vendor has supplied a driver, or whether the kindly open source people have implemented one themselves): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=579155 [05:02] Cryptic_Bat: when run without additional parameters, this command only lists NICs that are active, i.e. a driver module is available and loaded and the NIC is actually ready to transfer data. === glenn is now known as Guest65957 [05:02] mano, sure [05:03] jeniffer, is that helpful? [05:03] jeniffer, I didn't read through the whole thing [05:03] Hey I'm trying to shrink an xfs partition (Yes I know, impossible). If I use Clonezilla to back up the partition to a another disk (both are local) then delete the XFS then make a smaller XFS partition, would it work? (Also need to do this with XP) [05:03] Cryptic_Bat: apparently the lxde network manager disables the interface, for a reson i do not know. if that is a problem, then i suggest you do not use this application. [05:03] jeniffer, I suspect that it might not work w/ the newer releases, for one reason or another, but give a read. [05:03] caimlas i asked because the touchscreen is working right in ubuntu, but i need to install some driver in another distro... i will read [05:03] caimlas thanks a lot! [05:03] is there any way i can make it open in terminal without making it an excutable in properties? like making it a different extension [05:03] jeniffer, good luck and stuff [05:04] caimlas i will need it....i have been trying to do that a week ago [05:04] KingKimi: By the way, I have just added the grub entry of ubuntu on the menu.lst of my Arch Linux install. Would this by the cause of such problem? [05:04] mano, first, what are you doing w/ this crap in a script? it's a single command. second, it doesn't matter what the extension is - chmod +x can/will make any file executable. [05:04] chaorain: that would work. but you would still not have the old data on the new file system :-P [05:05] koala8919, if you didnot enter the correct UUID it might cause problems ........ [05:05] Wasap. [05:05] just curious how it works caimlas only had it a couple of days , did not know chmod command [05:05] Piet, I forgot to include use clone zilla to restore partition. Would it work? [05:05] 9.04 Mouse is suddenly laggy, when X starts from a fresh boot mouse is fine, then after a period (a minute or so) it feels like it's underwater. If the mouse is continually moved after a fresh boot, it will work correctly until you stop mouse movement - then the problem will immediately be present?! [05:05] !cli [05:05] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [05:06] KingKimi: I didn't have the UUID, I just used the real entry itself for the partition :) [05:06] mano, word of advice, don't use GUI tools for console/raw manipulation. it'll only screw you up [05:06] chaorain: not into a smaller partition, no. i think what you really want to do is to copy the files [05:06] ok man thanks! [05:06] koala8919, in ubuntu terminal, do these 4 commands >> http://paste.ubuntu.com/172074/ [05:07] koala8919, i had* this problem... and these 4 commands solved it out [05:07] i made a couple of ones to kill stuff that hang too so got happy with that , my adventures so far are one liner commands lol [05:07] Piet, Clonezilla won't copy into a smaller partition? btw the XFS is NOT full about 200 GB free. [05:08] Can anyone tell me how I set me region on a new DVD drive? regionset doesn't seem to work. [05:08] * burner likes hotkeys to launch things [05:08] my ubuntu partitioning fails at 33% anyone else ever get that? it happens every time. [05:08] koala8919, after you compare with the first, if you find it ddifferent, update that file using the second line [05:08] ok [05:08] so [05:09] GillaGal: did you install regionset? [05:09] what might cause my wifi to connect to one router and not to my router at home? [05:09] I've disabled all encryption and still it won't connect [05:09] now, it scans just fine, I can see my router, along with my neighbors [05:09] KingKimi: Do I really need the UUID? [05:09] chaorain: what clonezilla does is to create an image of the entire partition. this image still refers to the fully sized partition and this will never change. [05:09] koala8919, i think "yes" :P :P .. i had your problem... and those 4 lines helped me to solve it ... do that in ubuntu's terminal ... give it a try // [05:09] I just installed 9.04 on an old box I dug out of the closet but every time I boot the kernel crashes, usually before hitting KDM and always before reaching the desktop. How do I keep X from starting and go text only so I can poke around? [05:09] and I've used this device at a different location where I was able to connect [05:09] * bc likes that burner likes hotkeys to launch things because bc likes hotkeys to launch things [05:09] zanberdo_: SSID issues? [05:10] zanberdo_: maybe it has the info stored about your router with a key? Try changing the SSID even... or update your firmware [05:10] KB1JWQ, please elaborate [05:10] chaorain: use cp -pr [05:10] KingKimi: Here is my grub entry for ubuntu, I can boot from it...http://pastebin.com/m273ddfb7 [05:10] burner, I will try changing the ssid, but other devices in my home can connect [05:10] SSID broadcast disabled breaks some units. [05:10] Piet, Ok so just copy the files? btw the XFS is the /var for an old (8.10) install (still runs) [05:10] burner, it's just this new netbook [05:10] voxadam: you can boot the "recovery" kernel via grub by pressing esc in the beginning of the boot process [05:10] zanberdo_ try from cli and see if any err msgs pop up [05:11] burner, and the firmware is dd-wrt 24sp1 on linksyswrt54g ver2 router, so it's pretty much the latest [05:11] zanberdo_: and maybe "network-manager" or hte applet in the top right where you control wifi from has a bad key stored. Right-click, edit connections, and check out "wireless" [05:11] koala8919, but why dont you try those 4 lines in my paste ? ;-) [05:11] burner, yes, I've checked that, deleted the config several times. still no go... [05:12] Im in Unbuntu HELL Im new to Unbuntu new as in just this last hour. Im an Unbuntu Virgin. In add remove programs, can i search the drive to add programs, lets say programs on my desktop with a .deb file extention? [05:12] but I think I will try to change the ssid [05:12] how to patch alsa ???? .patch file type [05:12] johnP: just double-click the .deb on your desktop to install it [05:12] Entraide-net: that involves compiling software... are you sure you need to patch alsa? [05:12] johnP, double click the .deb file.. [05:13] what Programming language should i study to develop app for linux?/ [05:13] zanberdo_: try one without spaces or a shorter name? is it 802.11b and your router is set to only allow g? /me shrugs... Best of luck! [05:13] compiling grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr [05:13] why does my ubuntu log out after i leave it locked for a while [05:14] RocknRoll: bash, gtk, qt, wxwidgets, python, c++, c, perl, ruby [05:14] :) [05:14] KingKimi: I'll just have to finish some things on my arch, will boot and try what you've said after...:) Thanks again [05:14] burner, yes, I've considered all those items (thank you). the name is 4 chars, no spaces or special chars. the router is configured for mixed mode (b/g) with wpa with tkip & aes support... [05:14] * RocknRoll sighs [05:14] chaorain: yup, as i said :) [05:14] Entraide-net: if you sound doesn't work... maybe there are other fixes [05:14] koala8919, bonne chance ! [05:14] koala8919, good luck [05:15] Can someone help me fix my mouse on Jaunty? It shoots across the screen and clicks randomly when it feels like [05:15] burner: gimmer minimun no of languages ;) [05:15] zanberdo_: yeah sorry amigo... i'm out of ideas, but you sound like you're going to get it :) [05:15] burner : I'm on hardy 8.04.2 x86 and my sound don't work after I have done this tutorial : http://www.ubuntu1501.com/2008/06/getting-modem-to-work-in-hardy.html if someone as an idea tell me ... [05:16] I cant do that.. this thing called a package installer pops up and tells me something about a dependency is not satisfiable; libdbus-1-2 (>=60) im thinking, yeah right.. whatever.. o.k. what does all that crap mean? lucky for me.. i did find the add remove program and managed to doenload and install the filew from there.. but i need to know cus i may have to download things off the net that is not in the add remove programs list. [05:16] burner: gimme minimun no of languages ;) [05:16] RocknRoll: it really depends on where you want to contribute... if you just want to hack on some app... find out what that app is coded in :) if you want to start from scratch, analyze what your app should do first... [05:16] Piet, ok thanks for all the help. Boy I love my 1.5tb hdd for backups :D [05:16] the second .deb should have patched alsa but It don't seem to have worked [05:16] is there a way to stop ubuntu from logging out automaticly [05:16] chaorain: sbackup? I'm curious what you use [05:16] or else i would not be taling now in xchat.. [05:17] RocknRoll: depends, if you're a total newbie, a scripting language is what you want, Python, Ruby or Perl are all valiant candidates [05:17] chaorain: :) welcome. [05:17] burner, what do you mean? [05:17] stevecam: doesn't autologout here... maybe it's a power management thing? [05:17] cant see anything in powermanagement [05:17] chaorain: for your big backup drive... what app do you use to automate backup systems to try to be as cool as time machine? [05:17] jbl1: in NetApp Enterprise What they will use ;) ? [05:17] chaorain: I've been using "simple backup" and it's ok, but I'm just curious [05:18] has anybody had success mouting a HFS+ (Leopard) partion RW from the Ubuntu Live CD? I'm using Jaunty.. mounts report it as "rw" but I won't write and say it's mounted read-only [05:18] Has anyone else ever seen the scrolling mouse problem in jaunty [05:18] burner: I did what you said and have a root shell now. Now how do I keep X from starting when I reboot? [05:18] voxadam: remove kdm and gdm? :) [05:18] burner, actually I use it as my main HDD I just make a foulder in there and copy-paste [05:18] er [05:18] folder [05:19] so it's not a backup drive then ;) [05:19] I have webmin. Suppose I want to create a cron job that runs the command wget --mirror http://some.site.com every 15 minutes (i have permission to do so). Would I put the entire command on the "command" line, or just wget then the --mirror etc in "input to command? [05:21] RocknRoll: I don't know NetApp but from what their web site says it is, I guess they're using a Web Framework like Django or Ruby on Rails, so a scripting language [05:21] Doublicking on a file to install dont work i get an error dependency is not satisfiable; libdbus-1-2 (>=60) what does this mean? [05:21] johnP: it means you need that libdbus-1-2 before your .deb will install. are you sure the .deb is for the right version of ubuntu? [05:22] johnP: if so, try to open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get -f install" [05:22] jbl1: thanks man [05:22] johnP: then if you want to get real tricky, you can install the .deb on your desktop via the term by doing "sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/*.deb" what what! [05:22] want a command that must display where my root partition is : (hd? , ?) [05:22] KingKimi: sudo fdisk -l ? [05:22] no im not.. but heck. i find downloading things for flavors of linux a nightmare..the web page said the file was for unbutu.. thats all i know. [05:22] hello, I upgraded to jaunty, everything worked, then I switched from a VGA to a DVI Cable and now I get no X ... any ideas? already tried reboots and a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ... [05:23] is it possible to do a manual install of ubuntu server? [05:23] caimlas thanks a lot....it seems it is a matter of configuration...good night! [05:23] ;) [05:23] johnP: what is hte app? [05:23] burner, it lists all partitions.. but my question is that any command will display output as (hd? , ?) [05:24] Besk disk visualization on Gnome ? I liked fsview on KDE but its not well integrated into Gnome [05:24] well its xchat.. but not xchat dor gnome.. i needed it cus 9surprise0 i have other questions about this unbuntu thing.. [05:24] KingKimi: I don't know of any, but the /dev/sda1 or /deb/sdb2 can be translated to hd0,0 and hd1,1 respectively [05:24] johnP, Xchat is in Ubuntu's repos, you nkow [05:24] the one i got from add remove was xchat for gnome.. [05:25] burner, thnx. [05:25] johnP, real xchat is in repos [05:25] No i dont know.. [05:25] is it possible to do a manual install of ubuntu server? [05:25] KingKimi: the command df [05:25] what is repos? [05:25] define: manual [05:25] johnP, get Add/Remove to show you "All Available applications" [05:25] johnP, system > admin > synaptic [05:25] snuxoll: like copy files myself since the installer doesn't seem to work [05:25] johnP: yeah, like Madpilot said... it's in teh repos... you might be able to get it via add/remove if you change the options to show "all available applications" instead of just ubuntu apps [05:26] KingKimi: why are you looking for this in the first place? is it related to grub? [05:26] in synaptic , search for xchat and mark and apply [05:26] Scruff_Mcgruff: erm. 'technically', but it's something that would be overly complicated and would take weeks to do [05:26] Piet, NO .. to locate my root partition with output as (hd*,*) [05:26] O.k... no worries guys.. im gonna save this whole char when we are done.. but.. exactly what is repos? [05:26] KingKimi: then I guess you would have to look at /boot/grub/device.map to see how sda1 maps to hd0,0 [05:27] johnP, short form of "repositories" - the archives Ubuntu stores all available apps in [05:27] Does anyone know the fix for randomly scrolling and clicking mouse in jaunty? [05:27] sacarlson, (hd0) /dev/sda [05:27] KingKimi: i mean, why do you want to map your root partition to (hd*,*) in the first place [05:27] snuxoll: do you know why i can't install an os to my external hardrive without erroring but i can use it as an external hardrive? [05:27] Piet, to know how to find my root partition [05:27] joe_: i don't. but i suggest you have a look at the xorg log file [05:28] Scruff_Mcgruff: because debian-install doesn't like external drives, don't ask why [05:28] Piet, i mean to know where my root is [05:28] does anyone have any experience with Ubuntu Studio? [05:28] Scruff_Mcgruff: I just install to an internal HDD and then move it into an enclosure [05:28] KingKimi: well whatever :) [05:28] KingKimi: is that a question? ya that's normaly how it's maped but can change the device.map file [05:28] Piet: do you know a way to show the format in hd#,# instead of /dev/hda# / [05:28] O,.k yes i see what you are saying and i did read on the net just go and open up the applications folder and find xchat.. but it wasnt there.. so i downloaded a copy. [05:29] well i'm running windows on this computer, so i'd just boot in windows after installing to a 2nd hardrive, then boot in safemode and copy the files from the internal to external? [05:29] johnP, Ubuntu has two repositories - Universe & Multiverse - that aren't enabled by default. Switching Add/Remove to 'all available applications' is the easiest way of enabling them [05:29] Scruff_Mcgruff: you can't just copy the files like that most of the time (grub, etc) [05:29] Scruff_Mcgruff: you'd have to dd the partition [05:29] johnP: delete whatever you downloaded and get it via add/remove or synaptic package manager [05:29] burner: you could just script it [05:30] Im looking in my folders now and i do not have two copies of xchat.. just the one i just got to install.. perhaps vey version didnt hae uit? [05:30] KingKimi: so if that the case the (hd0,0) would be /dev/sda1 (hd0,1) would be /dev/sda2 I think [05:30] dd? [05:30] so i installed linuxant and it has my wireless driver on its list, but when I install it, it says installing and stops at 50% then closes. [05:30] burner: but the mapping between bios drive notation and linux devices is tricky, and even grub fails on that sometimes. [05:30] sacarlson, ok [05:30] im running ubuntu 9.04 [05:30] err [05:30] i see so its possible i did have it on my system, and just coul not see it.. [05:30] sacarlson: you think correctly :) [05:30] the newest dist [05:31] well yeah i can delete the pone off the desktop..no problem. [05:31] How would I copy a dvd to an iso? [05:31] johnP: you don't have it on your system, but it is in the repositories, waiting for you to pick it for download and installation [05:31] johnP, install it using synaptic ........ [05:31] bostwick: run it from a terminal and see if it outputs errors there. [05:31] i have a problem with lock [05:31] apt get lock [05:31] how do i stop it [05:31] run what? [05:31] its hung [05:31] muflord, using brasero [05:31] bk: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:31] I installed linuxant fine [05:31] Oh i see.. the repos are on a server so,eplace. [05:31] its when I try to install the driver with it that it gets to 50% then stops [05:32] what do i do about dpkg getting locked and hanging? [05:32] someplace [05:32] muflord, choose disk copy and in select a disk to write > choose it as image file [05:32] johnP: exactly :) many servers that are mirrored all over the world to expound a little [05:32] I tried using ndiswrapper but when I install the .inf file the driver says no hardware is present. [05:33] johnP, they are, and add/remove (and the other ways of installing stuff) pull stuff off those servers [05:33] bostwick: you're referring to the linuxant modem drivers, i suppose? [05:33] kingkimi, sweet, thanks for the help [05:33] yes [05:33] WLAN drivers [05:33] johnP, system > admin > software resources and choose download server in your country or closest to you.. to get good speed [05:33] bostwick: oh i see, have no experience with those nor with ndiswrapper [05:33] how do I use rm on a dir? [05:33] s/resources/sources/g [05:33] my ubuntu 9.04...gnome is only loging into a desktop back ground ..no panel..no right click of mouse [05:34] what do i do about dpkg getting locked and hanging? [05:34] chaorain, rm -r directoryname [05:34] bk: don't break it in the first place ;-) [05:34] !aptfix [05:34] O.k. another question.. i needed an ati driver.. i got it also from the repos.. but b4 that i went to the net and saw the file at ATI.com. The webpage said for it to work i had to have poxit or something for memory enabled on my system.. i went ahead and installed the ati drivers from repos, but have no idea what this poxit is or how to make my video card work. [05:34] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » === eus is now known as eusu_kefuin [05:34] cant help it piet [05:34] i didnt cntrl z instead of c [05:34] KingKimi, Thanks [05:35] cause im dumb lol [05:35] chaorain, np [05:35] johnP: did you try just using the system -> admin -> hardware drivers program to install the drivers? [05:35] bk: do as ubottu just suggested [05:36] i've got my main profile on ubuntu as my name with all privileges, is there a way to simply create another user with all those privileges minus administer the system and keep my settings (eg. theme, fonts, etc)? [05:36] \No.. i did not know anything about that.. i just saw it in repos, figured i did not already have it cus it was unchecked.. an i downloaded and installed it from there. [05:36] wat [05:36] it said my username was in use and kicked me [05:36] >_> [05:36] I have installed the Unbuntu as an application on Win XP ,How can I convert Ubunta as my single operating sys without loosing anything that I have accumulated so far, ( setting's, Files, Pictures, Movies) [05:37] Sagaci: are you saing you want the other use to have the same themes and fonts as you have? [05:37] yes, all users [05:38] just not the "administer the system" privilege [05:38] dyess002, guided - use entire disk option in the ubuntu installer [05:38] dyess002, but move the existing files in ubuntu to any other storage medium like pendrives [05:38] O.K. did that.. it seemed to work and says i need to reboot. [05:38] Sagaci: there's no real easy way... but you can copy your .themes and .fonts and probably some setting file to set the theme, but I don't know where that one is [05:39] so i have to back up and reinstall [05:39] okay, here is my request, I need a step by step, including files to download and how to install them, guide to installing wireless drivers on ubuntu. I have the most recent version of ndiswrapper, but I dont know how to install it. I have an older version that I install directly from the ubuntu disk, but it doesnt recognise my wireless card, even though its on the capatible list for ndiswrapper [05:39] Sagaci: well, i'm not sure about the themes and fonts, you probably need to copy something like ~/.fonts and ~/.gnome* to the new users' home directories, or to /etc/skel/ [05:39] !aptoncd > dyess002 [05:39] dyess002, please see my private message [05:39] dyess002, use aptoncd to move the downloaded files from synaptic to your new ubuntu [05:40] Im gonna figure out how to save this chat log so i can keep you guys instructions then reboot. i am sure you will see me again tonight LOL.. im trying to get all my needed drivers installed and set up. [05:40] dyess002, yes. complete reinstall [05:40] Thanks folks. [05:40] Sagaci: to create the new users and to add them to the groups your user belongs to, you can just use the adduser command [05:40] johnP, this channel is logged [05:41] could it be that I am using the wrong wireless drivers for my card? I used the same .exe I used for windows but it looks different than when I first installed it on my old winxp [05:41] i'm trying to find your message, It comes up and then dissapears [05:41] Sagaci: to determine the groups you are in, run: groups [05:41] just like in mirc i should be able to just save the logfile then? [05:41] /daiz [05:41] Kendari [05:41] which file should i copy from /usr/share/zoneinfo/ if i want my time to be 12:40am ... i tried to copy /usr/share/zoneinfo/EST to /etc/localtime but i am getting 11:40am, off by 1 hour. help please [05:42] I really messed up this time. So I upgraded from ext3 to ext4 using the gparted livecd, i figure all is good, right. I go to mount the ext4 filesystem and it gives me an invalid type. I think oh man, I'm screwed so I reboot and it boots fine with the exception of some gnome errors. So I modified the fstab and changed menu.lst to my liking and I got to where [05:42] hello all [05:42] Decepticon: EST vs EDT? You're likely in EDT right now. [05:42] Piet: thanks === sysop is now known as Guest74636 [05:42] I am. Grub just boots to a grub > prompt, and I can't boot linux [05:43] Decepticon: see www.timeanddate.com [05:43] Decepticon: but you should create a symbolic link there, not copy the file [05:43] Sagaci: welcome. [05:43] ah ok [05:43] it seems to be EST5EDT [05:43] it puts the lotion on the hard drive [05:44] or else it gets reformatted [05:44] its /usr/share/zoneinfo/EST5EDT [05:44] I've got a simple question about using a samba server. I have 3 computers - a windows box, a ubuntu 64 bit box, and a laptop with ubuntu 32 bit. Both ubuntu versions are 8.10. The 64 bit ubuntu box acts as my web server and samba file server. If i use the machine's network host name (phoenix) by typing //phoenix on the windows box, it goes to the web page, but if I put in the local ip of it instead, it won't find it. However, on the laptop it [05:44] Sorry I said it's for samba but it's for both samba and web [05:44] Vesayth you got cut off [05:44] how do i start openvpn [05:44] and where are the files located? [05:45] Oh, where did it cut out? [05:45] I really messed up this time. So I upgraded from ext3 to ext4 using the gparted livecd, i figure all is good, right. I go to mount the ext4 filesystem and it gives me an invalid type. I think oh man, I'm screwed so I reboot and it boots fine with the exception of some gnome errors. So I modified the fstab and changed menu.lst to my liking and I got to where [05:45] However, on the laptop it [05:45] I am. Grub just boots to a grub > prompt, and I can't boot linux [05:45] Vesayth However, on the laptop it [05:45] However, on the laptop it's the completely reverse of that. I would like to use the host name just as a standard for the home (because other people can't remember ip addresses). Does anyone know what is going wonky with this or can point me to the right place? I'm not exactly sure what to google for. [05:45] acfrazier: apparently when you edited menu.lst to your liking, it was not to the liking of grub [05:45] IT PUTS THE LOTION ON THE HARD DRIVE, OR ELSE IT GETS REFORMATTED AGAIN [05:45] :| [05:45] and where are the files located? [05:45] how do i start openvpn === abuquito is now known as FIBRA0PTICA [05:46] linux is driving me nuts, ill just call my buddy and let him deal with installing my drivers [05:46] Piet: but I can't fix it, cause I can't boot the Jaunty liveCD, but that's a whole nother issue, which is why I was using the parted liveCD. [05:46] acfrazier: then use the parted live cd again to fix it === FIBRA0PTICA is now known as FIBRACAIDA [05:47] Piet: I can't, if I can't mount my ext4 partition to fix it, it gives me an invalid filesystem type, when the livecd indeed supports ext4 [05:47] question: can u install windows font on ubntu? [05:47] hey has anybody figured out how to be able to watch the abc.com full episodes? went to the forums and basically nothing is really working...sure ive managed to find it elsewhere but im sure the abc stream is probably the best quality [05:47] I apologize: on the windows box the IP address does work. I just forgot the // before it. It however still does not recognize //phoenix on the laptop [05:48] acfrazier: try to revert your changes to menu.lst, then reboot and see if it helps [05:48] acfrazier: depending on the file editor you used, a backup copy of menu.lst may have been automatically created when you edited it. [05:48] i see that APTonCD is quite outdated to this point, is there a newer program that saves all packages onto usb or cd for installation for later? [05:48] Sagaci: How is AptonCD outdated [05:49] it says is only works for eft, fiesty and dapper [05:49] Sagaci: Hmm, Where's it say that? [05:49] Piet: when I go to mount it using the parted liveCD to correct the issue, I get "mount: unknown filesystem type 'ext4'" [05:49] Sagaci: As far as I know, there's nothing version specific about it, so it should work just fine. [05:49] hey i've just obtained a very old desktop computer petium 2 350mhz 18gb some very old graphic hard and 128mb of ram and obiously ubuntu desktop doesn't meet the requirements. So i am hoping some can suggest something that will run a desktop enviroment(i dnt mind which) while being as light on the system as posible. cheers and btw i use ubuntu on my normal computer [05:49] http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/index.html [05:50] The AptonCD FAQ says support is up to Feisty. [05:50] i'll try it later [05:50] acfrazier: so apparently the parted live cd does not support ext4 mounting [05:50] acfrazier: you'll need to find a live cd that does. [05:51] Sagaci: That's just the website being outdated, looks like. === charitwo_ is now known as charitwo [05:51] i've have to clean install ubuntu 3 times since i got it. i love the distro but the only annoying thing about clean install is that i have to d/l all the pkgs again, but this should alleviate the problem [05:51] Piet: Well, I don't know any other liveCD other than Ubuntu, and parted. I know Debian won't have support for it until at least the next major release, so I'm up a creek with no paddle here. [05:51] jony12345676789, What do you mean old? I use slower machines than that. I suggest crunchbang. It is a customized ubuntu distro that does very nicely on machines in that range. [05:51] acfrazier: why does the ubuntu live cd not work for you? [05:52] how can i see/check the size of the boot area [05:52] Piet: It repeatedly tries to mount the filesystem then drops to busybox. Only on USB, CD works fine, but my DVD drive is failing so I get I/O errors, and am forced to use USB [05:52] Rafael, df [05:52] acfrazier: system rescue cd was just recently released, it might support ext4 [05:52] Sagaci: packages go into /var/cache/apt/archives. In theory, you should be able to burn those files to a DVD and then bring them back again whenever you want... [05:52] -Severian ok a ditro that will run nicly with a machine with those specs [05:53] severian: i am newby..do i write "df", and that is? [05:53] jony12345676789, like I said, crunchbang will run nicely. [05:53] Rafael, go to a terminal prompt and type the command df [05:53] Rafael: df -h will give you a nice readable stat [05:53] thx ( you people are all so nice ) hehe its running win98 right nw i will soon fix that heh [05:54] losher: where's all the other packages? scattered around ie. ubuntu-restricted-extras, cups, etcetra [05:54] severian: thanks [05:55] Best disk usage visualization for Gnome ? [05:55] acfrazier: http://www.sysresccd.org/news/2009/05/12/systemrescuecd-120-released/ says this comes with 2.6.29, so it should support ext4 [05:55] Rafael, if you have a separate partition for /boot, it will show up there and you can see how much space is free. If you don't see /boot, then /boot is part of the / partition and that will show you how much space you have. [05:55] severian - will this do a harddrive install? [05:55] Sagaci: as far as I know, any/all downloaded packages go into /var/cache/apt/archives before being applied, and they stay there... [05:56] jony12345676789, Yes [05:56] mogus: boabab [05:56] cool does it need internet for the install? [05:56] baobab even [05:56] Piet:thanks! [05:56] jony12345676789, in fact I am installing it on a virtual machine at the moment. [05:56] losher: nope, i've only got about 22 there [05:56] losher: 1758 installed according to synatpic [05:56] Sagaci: er, you're doing network installs? [05:56] synaptic* [05:57] no [05:57] Severian: thanks i got it...i have 4 diferent software raid: bootis on raid 1, swap is on raid 1, system is on raid 5 and home is on raid 5 [05:57] Piet: Is there a foldersize-like plugin for Gnome? [05:57] si what package do i get? [05:57] jony12345676789, Need? Well, it will install without the internet, but it won't be able to get updated packages. So, do it that way if you must. [05:58] oh I see, that's just deb packages, is there any way to include ALL packages via synaptic [05:58] Sagaci: then unless something has changed, it either comes from the install medium or it gets downloaded and put in /var/cache... [05:58] hi, why i cant login to gtalk with pidgin on ubuntu 9.04, it keeps logigng and logging... [05:58] <[OF]fabzor3> hey i have an nvidia card, running ubuntu but i cant set a 75hz refresh rate [05:58] jony12345676789, http://crunchbang.net/pub/linux/crunchbang-8.10.02.i386.iso [05:58] <[OF]fabzor3> any idea? is this a bug? [05:59] mogus: there are extensions for nautilus, but i don't know whether there is one to display the total size of directories and their children in a list. [05:59] Piet: in addition to fsview (KDE) i found a neat ncurses frontend for du (du -h) called ncdu [05:59] Piet: thanks [05:59] Sagaci: not sure what you mean. All packages are deb packages... [05:59] mogus: if i need this information i usually right-click a directory and select properties or use du -sch on a terminal [06:00] losher: i have ubuntu restricted extras, but it's not listed there [06:00] hey guys how can I make it to where I can force firefox to use atleast 60-70% of my avaliable memory bc its eating up like 90 cpu and only 30 mem... [06:00] Piet: Yes, but thats so... Microsoft. I imagine Ubuntu/Debian/Linux can do better :) [06:00] check your extensions [06:00] Sagaci: that's probably because it's a metapackage [06:00] Sagaci: so try an experiment. Download something from restricted & after install, see if it's in /var/cache/apt/archives... [06:01] is it possible to save them? [06:01] quit [06:01] ok peoples im gonna reboot then boot into ubuntu then download cruchbang linux but befour that will i be able to use stuff like apt-get (once i got internet up) and just typical things you would find in ubuntu and also install applications? [06:02] Piet: I usually use df -h for the basic overall drive usage - nice and quick [06:02] du -sch works nicely to get a general summary [06:03] Piet: thanks === eric__ is now known as Etherael === bk is now known as bk|away [06:04] bye and thx every1 [06:04] mogus: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=439900 [06:04] it worked, this is going to take some thinking and sorting, VLC player is installed but not listed there [06:05] Can I virtualbox my vista partition safely or should I not touch that with a 10 foot pole? [06:05] Piet: Baobab is indeed nice. Trick apparently is to use the "Folder" view to look at mounted drives. [06:06] Brack10: You should try Virtualbox IRC channel / forum for that one. [06:06] :( [06:06] is there a way to get the size of a dir including recursive? [06:07] Brack10: if you mean would windows run in virtualbox yes. but if you plan to take windows that it already installed and running on a partition I don't think so. [06:07] chaorain, Disc Usage Analyser (also known as baobab) [06:07] sacarlson: hardware profiles? [06:07] Sagaci: if it was installed off the DVD, it won't be there. But that's ok, because next time you install it will just come from the DVD again. [06:07] chaorain: du -hs /path/to/dir [06:07] chaorain, du -h [06:08] thanks [06:08] Brack10: I'm not sure but virtualbox sets up alot of stuff around the target operating system at install [06:08] losher: unfortunately not, it was upgraded from 8.10 and installed via live cd 8.10 [06:08] Piet: the devs apparently think that basic info like calculating the size of a folder is "intrusive". [06:09] Piet: basic functionality that should appear in the file manager folder detail size pane IMHO [06:09] Brack10: in some strange file structure that simulates partitions I think. [06:09] mogus: the problem is it slows the file manager down remarkably and causes lots of I/O [06:09] I know this is the wrong place but maybe you can help me find an answer because linuxmint is based on ubuntu and the support isint huge [06:09] what about vmware? [06:10] can it do it? [06:10] that would be so cool [06:10] im using linuxmint latest release. trying to use virtual box ose and when I try to start my system it fails with two pop ups. one of them is VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (rc=-1908) [06:10] Brack10: again it will run just don't expect to move what is already installed. === mj is now known as Guest65107 [06:11] sacarlson: what I really want is the ability to run it in a VM on linux AND boot to it [06:11] Sagaci: well make up your mind. You said "the only annoying thing about clean install is that i have to d/l all the pkgs again". [06:11] :( [06:11] Piet: not if they do it right, as foldersize does, which is calculate in the background. File sizes don't change every second, and in any case people aren't looking usally for exact data, just the 'which of my folders do i need to move to my backup drive before my system drive gets maxed out,' sort of thing [06:11] Brack10: ask in #vbox at freenode.net .. or search ubuntu/virtualbox forum(s) [06:11] Brack10, Either VMWare, or VirtualBox can run VMs of Windows XP. VirtualBox needs a CPY with Hardware Virtualization. To move your current computer to a VM, look for a p2v tool. That is the generic name of the tools Physical 2 Virtual. [06:11] what directory id firefox in once installed [06:12] Brack10: I'm sure that can be done just have a script that runs at boot or when you login to your account and have it start vmware [06:12] Hello can someone help me [06:12] Piet: AFAIK size is calculated with most current file systems, and reading is just a matter of keeping a cache current with what is being written [06:12] Severian: thank you, that was quite helpful [06:12] mogus: yeah i guess youre right there [06:12] Guest65107: type in the terminal: which firefox [06:12] losher: well now the annoying thing is to figure out how to retrieve all the pkgs [06:13] I use virtualbox with windows xp in it [06:13] I have ubuntu 9.04 installed on my system but it seems to oveload my cpu [06:13] ok [06:13] timothy, time to look for a faster computer, it sounds like. [06:13] it is a quad [06:13] 4 CPU [06:13] Guest65107: usually in /usr/bin directory [06:14] Sagaci: it might help if you told us what your ultimate goal actually is. [06:14] Does Gwget even work at all? I can't get that thing to download anything. [06:14] timothy, No matter what it is, if you are overloading it with a modest OS like Ubuntu, then it is time to look for an upgrade. [06:14] thanxx [06:14] does anybody knows what is the package for (dos2unix) ubuntu 9.04 [06:14] and I'm on Jaunty [06:15] the computer is not that old [06:15] Wolvez, did you try man dos2unix [06:15] Wolvez: apt-file and http://packages.ubuntu.com could tell [06:15] How do I get X to stop forcing a resolution of 800x600 when it can't ID the monitor that's attached? Version is 8.10. [06:15] timothy: doesn't sound right. A quad usually has lots of cpu to spare. Why exactly do you think your 'cpu is overloaded'? [06:15] Wolvez: i think it's dosutils or mtools or the like [06:15] thankks [06:16] ttmrichter, put stuff in xorg.conf to define your monitor and video card [06:16] losher: my gui screwed up on 3 separate occasions and i found it easier just to clean reinstall, i'd like to be able to install these pkgs off a cd/dvd in the event of a clean install rather than having to wait hours to download and configure each time [06:16] Wolvez: tofrodos [06:16] Severian: it ignores that. [06:16] Wolvez: use 'aptitude search' to look for a package :) [06:16] I have modelines (generated by cvt) and it just ignores them. [06:17] it gets slugish and I check the system monitor and it says two of them are running close to 100 % but then I re boot the computer and its normal again [06:17] yes.. I think it was mtools.. but now is tofrodos >) [06:17] ttmrichter, No, it doesn't I have patched several 9.04 systems that way. [06:17] installed :) [06:17] timothy: use top or htop to look for what is hogging the cpu [06:17] timothy: next time it happens, you need to run 'top' and see what is taking up all that cpu. [06:18] AmyRose: i never used gwget, i just open a terminal window and wget there. if you dislike this, look into aria2c instead, there are good GUIs for it. [06:18] timothy: well. you're using system monitor .. what is hogging the cpu, then? do u remember? [06:18] Severian: seriously, it ignores them. This following line is IGNORED. It is not reacted to. It is not showing up in any way shape or form: Modeline "1024x768_60.00" 63.50 1024 1072 1176 1328 768 771 775 798 -hsync +vsync [06:18] It doesn't work. [06:18] how do i run top or htop [06:18] Sagaci: sounds like what you really need is just a full backup of a cleanly installed system [06:18] AmyRose: there are also good download managers which integrate with firefox in case you use that [06:18] ttmrichter, you need more than that [06:19] timothy: open the terminal and type top or htop [06:19] Severian: What do I need then? The docs are very not-complete and not-clear. [06:19] ok thanks [06:19] ttmrichter, Give me a moment and I'll be back with what I setup. It is on a remote machine. [06:19] Is there a channel for easy peasy? [06:20] thank you guys.! [06:20] bye [06:21] ttmrichter: ModeLine is a subordinate command, it must be enclosed in a subsection [06:21] timothy: run top now, so you'll have an idea what a normal 'top' looks like, then you can run it again when your computer gets sluggish & come back & tell us what's hogging the cpu. [06:21] ttmrichter: make sure you have it that way [06:21] Piet: I know this. It was in the monitor block. [06:21] ok sounds good I got Htop running now [06:21] ttmrichter: no diagnostics in the X log? [06:22] I ran easy peasy on someones eee pc and wireless doesn't work. I was curios if atheros ar5bxb63 chipset works on ubuntu [06:22] losher: Where is the X log? [06:22] timothy: is it running on all cpu or just two? [06:22] hey it see,s Firfox is taking up a lot of the cpu [06:22] ttmrichter: usually /var/log/Xorg.0.log or some such... [06:22] I recently installed U 9.4 , and the user switcher just died a few days ago. Wont let me re-add to the panel. Says "Error -"User Switcher" has quit unexpectedly - If you reload a panel object, it will automatically be added back to the panel." [06:23] hello [06:23] its running on all 4 [06:23] firefox is in /usr/bin but i get error when trying to launch it from menu--error=could not launch firefox failed to execute child process,firefox no such file or diretory [06:23] how do i prevent my windows from being dragged to the next desktop? [06:23] losher: I'll check it when I get on the machine this evening. What am I looking for? [06:23] simoncpu: if you don't need extra desktops, you can just set the number of desktops to one [06:24] timothy: that's normal for firefox using lots of cpu once in a while during surfing the 'net [06:24] prodigel: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC [06:24] prodigel: I have easy-peasy installed on my eee pc and I installed the drivers direct from madwifi. But I think on easy-peasy it worked out of the box [06:24] well right now Im streaming something but that shouldnt take up all the resources [06:24] mogus: i need the extra desktops, but my windows get dragged to the next one whenever i accidentally drag them off-screen [06:25] sacarlson, live cd had a wlan device but didn't detect any network. [06:25] ttmrichter: dunno, I'm guessing something that mentions the mode line? [06:25] simoncpu: "accidentally?" are you on KDE? [06:25] Guest65107: in the terminal, type pkill firefox [06:25] losher: OK, I'll scan it this evening and see what I can see. [06:25] mogus: i am on the default gnome [06:25] ttmrichter: my first guess is you have a syntax error on the line, which is why it's being ignored [06:25] hm. [06:25] it is running arround 80 to 95 % [06:25] Guest65107: then try to launch Firefox again [06:25] prodigel: the madwifi driver is way better [06:25] losher: It's a straight cut-and-paste from cvt, that line. [06:25] ok [06:25] simoncpu: are you using a switcher helper like ... forgot the name [06:26] im using linuxmint latest release. trying to use virtual box ose and when I try to start my system it fails with two pop ups. one of them is VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (rc=-1908) [06:26] mogus: i dunno... i've just installed 9.04 [06:26] simoncpu: hm [06:26] sacarlson, I'm sure about it, just that it's not mine, and probably the owner wouldn't succeed in reinstalling madwifi after kernel updates [06:26] i know this is the wrong support [06:26] simoncpu: dunno. how often does this happen? [06:27] mogus: every time... it's not a bug, really [06:27] ttmrichter: weirder things have happened.... [06:27] i just want to turn it off :) [06:27] prodigel: hope by the next kernel update they will have working drivers then. [06:28] simoncpu: well mine does not do that. but then Ive got an ancient graphics card atmoment and i cant even run level two graphics effects [06:28] simoncpu: maybe you can try turning your effects down a level? [06:28] turbo: if i could recall, i think you need to change the permission of /dev/something or .... i don't remember other one. sorry [06:28] mogus: but i want the effects too :) [06:28] pkill did'nt work ether any other ideald [06:28] timothy: does restarting firefox fix it? [06:29] no [06:29] omfg. what happened to virtualbox? where did my vms go? [06:29] brb [06:29] simoncpu: i understand. but try and turn them off for a bit to see if that changes the issue. [06:29] Guest65107: try to launch firefox in your terminal and see what the error says [06:29] turbo: you'Re lacking the virtualbox kernel modules [06:30] turbo: that's it. what Piet just said. [06:30] turbo: start a package manager and search for anything that contains 'virtualbox' or 'vbox', you should find somethink like linux-modules... [06:31] ttmrichter, Here is an example of one of my Jaunty machines. It has a simple xorg.conf file and comes up in 1024 x 768. http://pastebin.com/f18c90614 [06:31] The program 'firefox' is currently not installed. but i judt installed it in synaptic [06:31] Severian: nice one! [06:31] Is there a way to tell my comp to turn off in 1 hr? (9.04) [06:31] turbo: if that doesn't exist, then try this instead: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install module-assitant && m-a a-i virtualbox [06:32] turbo: install the linux-headers and unstall the old vbox and then install the new version [06:32] chaorain: sudo shutdown -r 1h [06:32] chaorain, There are several ways. Setup a cron job to do shutdown -h now [06:32] Piet, ty [06:32] Piet's way would be easier. chaorain [06:32] chaorain: oops, it's shutdown -h, not -r [06:33] Severian: I'll give that a shot tonight as well. Thanks. [06:33] anyone here using fglrx? does your terminals flash really slowly whenever a new line is printed (updates very slowly?) -- but everything else like firefox works fine [06:33] chaorain: so: sudo shutdown -h 1h [06:33] Guest65107: well it said it is not. in the terminal, type sudo aptitude install firefox [06:33] Piet, that was probably an important difference [06:33] hi [06:33] piet, thanks === _MinusSeven is now known as MinusSeven [06:34] hello [06:34] Piet, Severian: Thanks for the assistance. Hopefully tonight I can stop using the Windows half of that presentation machine. :) [06:34] do you guys know the path where virtualbox installs its guest os? [06:34] ok will do thanx a million [06:34] chaorain: -r would just reboot [06:34] hi! [06:34] virtualbox seems to have been mysteriously deleted from our system [06:34] simoncpu: VirtualBox puts all its stuff under ~/.VirtualBox, I think. [06:35] oki [06:35] oh cool, the files are still there [06:35] Can you move to another desktop from the kb? [06:35] simoncpu, ~/.VirtualBox/HardDisks [06:35] i wonder what happend to VirtualBox? [06:35] * simoncpu checks out the log files for clues [06:35] felixsulla: ctrl+alt+left-arrow and ctrl+alt+right-arror [06:35] simoncpu: check log files [06:35] *arrow [06:35] simoncpu: It got a better offer from Oracle. :D [06:35] lstarnes: Thankyou [06:35] lol [06:36] Woo! [06:36] btw, can vmware read virtualbox files? [06:36] simoncpu: Not thus far, I don't think. There is work on standardizing virtual machine file formats though. [06:36] simoncpu, It sounds like a local problem. I am not seeing reports of it mysteriously disappearing on machines around the world. I am running it on 3 machines here. [06:36] hoy! [06:36] hahaha [06:36] lolololololololololololololol [06:37] ttmrichter, That work is done. VirtualBox 2.2 uses the standard OVF [06:37] ablublublublublu [06:37] Severian: Oh, really? Cool! [06:37] i only installed wine last night, hoping that it would run vmware infrastructure client [06:37] it didn't run, so i slept [06:37] when i woke up, virtualbox was gone [06:37] simoncpu: google says vmware can read *converted* virtualbox files. AYOR... [06:37] simoncpu: hackers [06:37] hahaha [06:37] losher: what's AYOR? [06:37] lololololololol [06:37] will someone kick patrick for being a freaking degenerate? [06:38] noob [06:38] Sorry, AYOR = At Your Own Risk [06:38] it means that i have to reinstall virtualbox to export virtualbox files? [06:38] floatboat: Most IRC clients have the ability to easily add ignore clauses. [06:38] uhm.... [06:38] this is cool [06:38] why do I get permission denied when trying to chmod an SMBFS as root? [06:38] i dont know [06:38] ttmrichter: that doesn't make being annoying right though [06:39] lstarnes: Oh, I quite agree. But it deals with the immediate symptoms quite handily. [06:39] oh yeah [06:39] ? [06:39] knoxville, The samba server on the other side is rejecting you chmod. [06:39] * ttmrichter has a sizable ignore file. [06:39] Severian, its an external HDD with an ethernet adapter in NTFS [06:39] ohhh.... [06:39] ttmrichter: size isn't everything you know... [06:40] ttmrichter: i'm concerned more for your sanity - mine is bullitproof [06:40] knoxville, OK [06:40] knoxville: I guess the partition SMBFS is mounted read only? [06:40] floatboat: I have no sanity left. No worries here. :D [06:40] losher: but sizable is everything [06:40] I ran this "sudo mount -t smbfs //192.168.1.196/public/ /nfs/" how would I make that RW? [06:40] Piet: *re*sizeable is everything... [06:41] right :) [06:41] knoxville, You may not be able to. It depends on the server at 192.168.1.196 [06:41] knoxville: mount -o remount,rw /nfs [06:41] Piet, tried it but still no go [06:41] did apt-get install-->Reading state information... Done [06:41] firefox is already the newest version [06:42] knoxville: maybe on the server side at your 192.168.1.196/public [06:42] knoxville: so what Severian said applies [06:42] Guest65107: then fire it up. ;-) [06:42] when I place a link to /media/Data in the public folder, will the Data folder be public accessible? [06:42] still wont launch [06:43] knoxville: remote smb file servers aren't usually much impressed by being root on a Unix box [06:43] aha [06:43] if i comment out a line in /etc/apt/sources.list, [06:43] Guest65107: ?? in the terminal, type rehash .... then try to launch again. [06:43] are the packages automatically deleted? [06:43] weird... [06:44] simoncpu, No [06:44] ok [06:44] Hey guys, PMTU doesnt seem to working with me !!!! [06:44] Guest65107: oh. is there an error message when you tried to launch? [06:44] eventhough I am disabling PMTU Discovery, Client and Server are broadcasting their MSS s and Fragmentation is not happening at all !!! [06:44] hi.. [06:44] I am using ubuntu studio 8.10 [06:44] goodnight everyone! ttmrichter take care! patrick__ fuck yourself. [06:44] ok, i've not reinstalled virtualbox [06:44] yes [06:45] there it goes again... the items in the "System Tools" menu doesn't show up [06:45] whenever i playback something in totem player which is recorded in audacity it gives some noise.. [06:45] * simoncpu reboots the box [06:45] which doesn't show up in audacity [06:45] simoncpu, Were you uning the open source edition or the personal use version? [06:45] Severian: personal use [06:45] Can someone suggest me a channel for questions regarding TCP/IP !!!! [06:45] tapspat: maybe ##networking [06:46] hmmm... anybody [06:46] ? [06:46] lstarnes : Thanks..... All are sleeping in that room............. ehhhhhhhhhhh !!!! [06:46] simoncpu, as long as you are reinstalling, go to virtualbox,org and get version 2.2 It has some nice improvements. The biggest one to me is OVF support. [06:47] tapspat: you need to be patient. someone will answer you eventuallty [06:47] tapspat: i know this is a linux channel, but try ##netbsd and ##freebsd [06:47] i am using AUDIOBOX USB professional device.. [06:47] *eventually [06:47] tada! the icons now appear after i rebooted the box [06:47] this sucks [06:47] mohanohi: first find out if the noise is actually recorded in the file. I suggest trying a 3rd player, e.g. mplayer [06:48] If it was recorded then why doesn't audacity play it? it plays pure.. [06:48] also, vbox 2.2 does have bridged networking as well! a big PLUS. [06:48] mohanohi: if I knew the answer to that I wouldn't be suggesting a 3rd player [06:48] is there a way to wipe all firefox then reinstall it useing apt-get [06:48] tapspat: i'd suggest asking in gentoo or even ##security [06:49] shall i paste the sample file.. it may play good in other system.. [06:49] not in mine.. [06:49] virtualbox doesn't support amd64 guests [06:49] Guest65107: sudo aptitude purge firefox [06:49] ok there it goes again [06:49] ok thanxx [06:49] simoncpu: I think it does on 64-bit hosts [06:49] i think i have done something like upgrading some lib files or something!! [06:49] my monitor suddenly goes dark... [06:49] any idea where on the VM server machine filesystem that the client machine files/OS info are kept (Virtualbox on Gnome) [06:49] ubuntu 9.04 seems to activate the monitor's power saving feature [06:49] i have to turn it off and on again [06:50] wildc4rd__: possibly ~/.vbox or a similar directory [06:50] lstarnes: i'm using an amd64 host =) [06:50] simoncpu: that's odd [06:50] ~/.VirtualBox [06:50] i'm not sure with other OSes, but it doen's turn freebsd amd64 [06:50] *doesn't [06:50] simoncpu, I think it does, but you have to have an amd64 host. Reading the change log for version 2.2 tells me this is true. [06:50] Guest65107-> also rename ~/.mozilla to ~./.mozilla.old [06:51] wildc4rd__: according to IcemanV9 it is ~/.VirtualBox [06:51] i'm using v 2.2.2r46594 [06:51] cheers [06:51] Is there a way to change (lower) the opacity of the giant big black notices in the top right corner (like when a print job finishes) in 9.04? [06:52] wow its been years since I have been in a chat room [06:52] !welcome | kaltwasser [06:52] kaltwasser: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel. [06:53] kaltwasser: welcome back to the 1970s [06:53] kaltwasser: on IRC? [06:53] guys how can i make a terminal command run at startup in kubuntu [06:53] losher, lmao [06:53] kaltwasser: hello spud [06:54] I can't help thinking there has to be a better way than this to offer/get support.... [06:54] thanks Piet, simoncpu, lstarnes [06:54] losher: Suggestions? [06:54] When you connect to an IMAP server to download your mail does it leave a copy? [06:54] Gamarok__: did you try to ask in #kubuntu ? [06:55] Neontiger: Yes. [06:56] Neontiger: usually you only download the emails' headers, not the emails themselves until you really read them. but it's all configurable. mail usually remains on the server until you delete it. [06:56] felixsulla: the ubuntu msg boards seem better, they're not real time though. Maybe a better irc client? [06:56] Is Xen available with Jaunty? [06:56] Awesome, thank you [06:56] losher: what IRC client are you using? XChat is my fafv [06:57] thanxx for all the help, i be back later--tootahhloou all [06:57] Daemonik, Yes [06:57] Daemonik: according to aptitude search, yes [06:57] felixsulla: chatzilla right now, because it was there, and easy.... [06:57] Daemonik, It looks like it is the client stuff for xen. [06:57] losher: Never used it. [06:59] felixsulla: It's just a basic irc client. Is there something about Xchat that makes it particularly easy to support people? One problem with irc is the main channel is noisy, but if you go private, people can't join in & it doesn't go into the logs. That seems wasteful... [07:00] losher: I'm fairly certain you can make XChat record everything, even private chats if that's youre desire [07:00] http://codepad.org/awJ9r79y thats the output i get when trying to ssh to a virtual machine, why does it hang after the identification files [07:00] irssi rules! [07:01] only thing I liked about irssi was /lastlog [07:01] felixsulla: well, I was more thinking about the same issues coming up over & over again. [07:01] Daemonik: i would think not for dom0, since there are no patches against this kernel version and the dom0 patches are not yet in linux mainline [07:02] Piet, I see. [07:02] losher: What issues? [07:02] how do I use the command line to open a *list file for editing? [07:02] * burner likes screen -dR + irssi +- ssh/gnome-terminal :) [07:02] nano *list [07:02] wombatunder, nano filename [07:02] a *.list file [07:02] thank you [07:03] wombatunder: you pick an editor to open it up with... nano is an easy one... "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" for example... or "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" for the gui [07:03] thank you jewfro-macabbi and burner [07:03] burner do you like bitchx? [07:04] RHorse: in 1999 I liked bitchx :) [07:04] Hey guys, I'm facing some "short write" errors, when my system running ALSA goes to a "partial" suspend (i.e. screen goes off). What should I suspect from? [07:04] how can I transfer files from a VB to its host machine? [07:04] does irssi have many more features? === harry is now known as Guest33877 [07:04] wildc4rd__: where VB=virtuel basic? [07:04] felixsulla: there's at least 4 9.04 issues that seem to be faqs. Sound, flash, ext4, box left unusable after upgrade, sluggishness.... [07:04] wildc4rd__: Virtual Machine? what's the virtualization software? I typically just use samba network file sharing... you could use ssh... or sometimes Virtual Machine apps have their own sharing [07:05] wildc4rd__, I use a samba machine on my lan to move files back and forth between my virtual and physical machines. [07:05] wildc4rd__, scp would work also [07:05] in Nano, does "Write out"=save? [07:05] hello [07:05] wildc4rd__: i used scp lots [07:05] wombatunder: yes [07:05] thank you [07:05] wombatunder: or save as [07:05] wombatunder: yeppers... if you just exit, it will ask to save changes [07:05] losher: flash working okay for me in 9.04.. I havnt used ext4 (do you need it?), and mine isnt sluggish? [07:06] wildc4rd__, basically any method of transfering files over the network will work. [07:06]  wildc4rd__: maybe with samba but I have used my usb flash drive at times [07:06] Severian: what is the virtual machine? windows? use winscp in windows + ssh server on your ubuntu box [07:06] winscp is awesome [07:06] er... I meant to recommend that to wildc4rd__ I guess :) [07:07] ;) [07:07] <[T]ank> lots of windows talk for a linux room [07:07] I'm trying to install a mobile internet connectionand I need to have an existing internet connection to do so.... [07:07] * burner has used winscp + wine in xubuntu before it had gigolo [07:07] felixsulla: that wasn't really my point. And 'well it works for me' isn't even close to user support [07:07] burner, I have a variety of Linux virtual machines. I am working on adding solaris and BSD. I don't allow Windows on my network. Samba is a better choice for me, but if scp works for you, then use it. [07:08] losher: Gotcha. Well, there is the ubuntu forums, this room which is very helpful, and the online documentation, and canonical I suppose [07:08] people: i want to remove the whitespaces in the filenames of a directory, i running "rename s/\s//g *" but it doesn't work! [07:08] losher: I'm willing to address problems one at a time... but general bitching is no fun ;) [07:08] NandoMan, the command is mv [07:08] NandoMan: there is no rename... mv [07:08] irc.hackthissite.org # help [07:08] whoops [07:09] yoy oy [07:09] NandoMan: mv some_thing aNewName [07:09] the ps3 eye should "just work" with 2.6.29, right? [07:09] what does it mean when "the following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available" comes up when performing a "sudo apt-get update"? [07:09] but there is a rename in my ubuntu [07:09] :P [07:09] NandoMan: rename is an alias to mv [07:09] felixsulla, burner: so we're back to where we started. Irc isn't a good support medium and there's apparently a couple of other options but really nothing better [07:09] oh i see [07:09] wombatunder I wouldn't worry [07:09] wombatunder, if you added a repo, import their signing key [07:10] losher: What are you expecting, exactly? [07:10] NandoMan: holy crap, you're right :) /me mans rename [07:10] yo dawgs [07:10] im sittin in DIA airport [07:10] rename != mv [07:10] anyone else chill here [07:10] jewfro_macabbi, how do I import their signing key? [07:10] so, the syntax is basically "rename perlexpresion files" [07:10] NandoMan, rename is a perl script that is good for renaming filenames with patterns. For a basic rename, use mv [07:10] felixsulla, burner: sorry, I thought we were brainstorming to see if there was some better way to deliver ubuntu support.... === _Ranakah is now known as Ranakah [07:11] anyone know how hard it is to setup an http mysql php and smpt servers in cruchbang linux? [07:11] Severian: i want to remove the whitespaces of all the files in a directory]\ [07:11] wombatunder, you can usually find instructions on the repo page, but it's gpg --keyserver keserver.address --recv keyid [07:11] losher: I guess I mean, what is your idea of ideal? [07:11] losher: aww... maybe, i was only half paying attention... maybe the first step is to pay attention to provide better support :) [07:11] burner: "bitching" and trying to "constructively critique a current process" can look remarkably similar [07:12] NandoMan: try this: for file in $(find DIRECTORY); do mv $file ${file// /}; done [07:12] NandoMan, How many files to rename? [07:12] a lot! === manpoole is now known as mrshanningans [07:12] losher: This isn't the place for it. Try #ubuntu-ops or #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks. [07:12] Severian: a lot [07:12] losher: yours aren't so much support issues as they are bugs that should just be fixed and not even thought about :) [07:12] I have two screens. Some full-screen applications will freeze the cursor in that screen, and prevent me from using applications in the other screen. Is there a way for me to change this? [07:12] NandoMan: have a gui? [07:12] Flannel: fair enough. [07:12] NandoMan: or replace ${file// /} with ${file// /_} to replace whitespace with _'s [07:13] Jewfro-Macabbi: Sorry but I am a complete Linux Noob, where do I find the repo page? [07:13] burner: yes i do [07:13] NandoMan, just be careful. lstarnes command looked right. But, I would still test it first. [07:13] wombatunder, what repository did you add to your sources.list file? [07:13] NandoMan: http://gnomefiles.org/app.php/GPRename <--try that app :) [07:13] hi, i get problem after upgrade from intrepid to jaunty.the NM not recognize my modem but it works great at intrepid.any idea ? thanks [07:13] deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/network-manager/ubuntu hardy main [07:13] deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/network-manager/ubuntu hardy main [07:13] but souldn't the rename command work? [07:14] so those links would be the repo page? [07:14] wombatunder: I'm not sure I understand the question maybe you want to know how to install software? try synaptic [07:14] wombatunder, no I thought you added a third party repo [07:14] synaptic is a great place to start [07:14] NandoMan: probably... but i'm not savvy enough... [07:14] wombatunder, is hardy your version? - try apt-get update and apt-get upgrade [07:14] jonathon_ It is not too hard. It is basically the same on crunchbang as on Ubuntu. I'd google for perfect lamp server. Falco Timme wrote a series of articles on setting up servers like that. [07:15] jewfro-macabbi: yes I am using 8.06 which I believe is hardy [07:15] I tried apt-get update and got that error [07:15] wombatunder: you're trying to use a mobile network connction as opposed to wifi? [07:15] yes [07:15] wombatunder: 8.04 is hardy [07:15] wombatunder: or if you want to custom you repo list edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list [07:15] wombatunder, just try running: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade - it's not a huge error [07:15] someone with ipv6 please test if they can access http://tractrix.mooo.com/hello.txt [07:15] wombatunder: go to 8.10, then to 9.04 :) it's so much better at mobile devices [07:16] wombatunder, There is a 8.04, which is Hardy [07:16] but the error was for the new repo I need [07:16] NandoMan: create a temporary directory, copy a few files from the real to the temporary one. then test it with a few commands that some of us offers. see which one does work. === herb__ is now known as herb [07:16] wombatunder, it will still download and install from that repo [07:16] but if u did 'sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin'(etc) it will work the same as ubuntu does? [07:16] ok [07:16] wombatunder: error was probably the gpg key? install the ppa key [07:16] wombatunder: or just dist-upgrade and you may find your card just works [07:16] er... dist-upgrade to jaunty 9.04 that is [07:16] IcemanV: thanks! i'm a bit disapointed tough that the rename command doesn't work :P [07:17] hey people, I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite A105. Here are the specs of my comp: [07:17] How big is a distro upgrade? [07:17] NandoMan: mv is what i've use [07:17] I have limited data on a mobile connection [07:17] jonathon_, That should be just the same...crunchbang started with a Ubuntu distro and added openbox and customized the desktop. They left the Ubuntu repos and so that kind of thing should work. [07:17] wombatunder: big [07:17] so upgradein the distro isn't an option [07:17] wombatunder, about 4 inches. [07:18] wombatunder: many many megs... nevermind that idea then... isn't ubuntu online via wifi or some other connection right now? [07:18] ubuntu jaunty. Intel T2500 2.0GHz Core Duo processor, Nvidia Go 7600 256MB Graphics card. [07:18] no [07:18] and it's relatively new (about 2 or 3 years) [07:18] anyway, this seems like a nice place to chill [07:19] que es la problema Reaverblade? spit it out already ;) [07:19] I'm using an XP machine and ICS to get the internet connection to the ubuntu machine..... [07:19] sweet 49 minutes of download left [07:19] iĺl be coming here more often [07:19] so, when I download Tremulous, it runs like molasses [07:19] I just updated my pc which runs Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit. Now I can't access the internet or anything on my lan (I get operation not permitted error if i try to ping). So I'm trying to reinstall network manager by downloading the deb manually, but when installing it tries to connect to the internet and can't. I'm thinking network-manager is not what i need to install. Can anyone advise? [07:19] wombatunder: lol... you are resourceful :) wish I knew what to tell you on your card other than jaunty [07:19] I think the frame rate was somewhere around 15 fps....maybe? [07:19] Hello all [07:20] hi, i get problem after upgrade from intrepid to jaunty.the NM not recognize my modem but it works great at intrepid.any idea ? thanks [07:20] vesayth: you sure you don't have network manager already? "sudo dpkg -l |grep network-manager" to find out [07:20] Does somebody know how to handle .ace archives? [07:20] kliwon: re-install NM? [07:20] burner: I have it, but I think it's a problem version [07:20] IcemanV9, : i have did it but not works [07:20] I've had a windows network up and running for many many years using ADSL, however am having ADSL provider issues at my new house so am trying to make a gateway to share the mobile internet with 4 computers :-D [07:21] KillGuta: unace? [07:21] burner: I'm trying to downgrade to the stable release [07:21] burner: Doesn't work for some reason [07:21] vesayth: uhh... i wouldn't downgrade... that's messy and complex [07:21] Unace implements itself in the default archiver? [07:21] IcemanV9, : i try to google and found similiar problem..but still no answer [07:21] burner: ok, so what should I do? [07:21] KillGuta: got me on that... but if not, it's probably as easy as "unace filename.ace" [07:21] So, since my graphics card is relatively new, it should run loads of more fps, but it doesn't. Possibly a hardware mismanagement by jaunty? [07:22] IcemanV9, : but fresh install is working and ok [07:22] vesayth: open a term... type "ifconfig" and do you see your network card? [07:22] it's there, and it connects to the network [07:22] one sec i'll give you the jist of it [07:22] vesayth: check your /etc/resolv.conf [07:22] but you can't ping? wtf... can you sudo ping? [07:23] burner: Nope.. it says it can't open that file [07:23] vesayth: using dhcp? static? [07:23] Severian, how customiseable in cruchbang linux [07:24] KillGuta: unace-nonfree ? [07:24] burner: yes [07:24] lol [07:24] Reaverblade: my guess it's your video driver. I have nvida and since upgrade from 7.04 I don't have the performance I had before. I now us the nv open driver. [07:24] kliwon: okay. fresh install does work, but upgrade doesn't. correct? === knoxville is now known as knoxville_ [07:24] burner: non-free? [07:25] the nv open driver? is it in the package list? if it is, what is it called? [07:25] KillGuta: that's the package name... "sudo apt-get install unace-nonfree" [07:25] icemanv9: resolv.conf shows as follows: #Generated by NetworkManager nameserver 192.168.1.1 [07:25] Reaverblade: it's what should run if you don't enable the propriatary driver [07:25] IcemanV9, : yes correct [07:25] sacarlson: nouveau!!! [07:25] great, how do I disable the proprietary? [07:25] vesayth: still cannot ping outside? [07:25] someone with ipv6 please test if they can access http://tractrix.mooo.com/hello.txt [07:26] burner: the ip address is on a static lease on my router [07:26] IcemanV9, : currently i use wvdial.. :D [07:26] icemanv9: that is correct [07:26] aww, i like the proprietary nvidia driver... how else do you play with compiz? [07:26] vesayth: and you can ping the router by ip? in ifconfig, does it show your ip correctly? [07:26] vesayth: check ifconfig to be sure it has ip and up [07:27] burner: No I get operation not permitted [07:27] icemanv9: it does. 192.168.1.50 [07:27] how about "sudo ping 192.168.1.1" or whatever [07:27] burner: that's what i did. operation not permitted [07:27] burner: I don't anymore. the nvidia driver just don't like my syncmaster 932 monitor. it works on most others [07:27] that's odd. [07:27] vesayth: is ur firewall up? [07:27] vesayth: open a browser to that page? can you pint 192.168.1.50? [07:28] sacarlson: did you try the nouveau driver? it's getting cooler than nv anyway [07:28] icemanv9: i stopped and purged firestarter from my system after this happened [07:28] burner: i can ping myself [07:29] vesayth: can other people ping you? maybe firestarter did some things to iptables? [07:29] burner: no I cannot. I have tried iptables --flush with no success [07:29] burner: no I didn't is that a package? [07:30] sacarlson: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau, then switch the driver from nv to nouveau in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and try it out :) === knoxville_ is now known as knoxville [07:30] output of pinging 192.168.1.50: vesayth@serpent:~$ ping 192.168.1.50 [07:30] PING 192.168.1.50 (192.168.1.50) 56(84) bytes of data.

[07:31] okay sometimes when wget downloads dynamic URLs, the filename results in a unpredictable manner. Is --restrict-file-names=windows what i should be using? [07:31] also is it possible to make wget avoid http://www.a.com/blacklistedworkd.php , where blacklistedword is something undesirable ? [07:31] vesayth: and this IP was doled out by the router via mac reservation right? so we know the cable works... hrm... does a browser to 192.168.1.1 give anything? [07:31] also how do i control the # of simultaneous parallel downloads wget makes [07:31] is the default 30 ? [07:31] everything worked fine before doing a system update [07:32] burner: not it does not [07:32] no* [07:32] yaris123456789: wget does parallell downloads? sure? [07:32] burner: I just searched with synaptic I see no such package what repo is this from? [07:32] vesayth: system update to 64 from a 32 bit system? and you wiped it? [07:32] burner: no. just normal every day system update [07:32] burner: I did see a web page that has something about it [07:32] kliwon: sorry, i cannot think of anymore to tell ya at this point. something did not upgrade properly. dpkg-configure -f (don't remember if this is correct command to fix it) [07:33] burner: via update manager [07:33] vesayth: you could hit "esc" at grub and boot an older kernel... maybe it didn't finish updating or maybe your card is broken in teh latest kernel [07:33] * burner shrugs a bit [07:33] burner: the kernel was upgraded, so i tried to revert back to the kernel i was using and that still didn't fix it [07:33] hi2all does anyone know how to exchange GDM on something else? [07:34] IcemanV9, : hmm the command dpkg-configure -f NetworkManager ? is it like that ? [07:34] or just dpkg-configure -f ? [07:34] sacarlson: universe. http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau [07:34] Gah. gnome-screensaver is totally worthless now. [07:35] burner: I guess it's not on ubuntu 8.04 yet I have universe set already [07:35] kliwon: leave it blank. maybe it'll fix something else that you didn't know. [07:35] kliwon: you're thinking apt-get -f... dpkg-configure is just that... with no -anything [07:35] well, I'm trying out a driver. Off to see if it works... [07:35] thanks IcemanV9 , burner [07:35] i will try that 1st [07:36] hello [07:36] burner: if it helps i do have backports enabled (this is why i wanted to downgrade to stable version of network manager) [07:37] i've a ubuntu 8.10 here and gdm dont show any names or pictures (with a theme that should show them)... how can i fix it? [07:39] vesayth: the old kernel works? [07:39] burner: no [07:39] burner: that was the first thing I did ^^ [07:39] I have read some of the forums and performance comparison between 32 bit and 64 bit, and still confused which one I should use for my T6600 Intel Chipset [07:40] vesayth: I'm a bit out of ideas [07:40] ykphuah, use 32 bit [07:41] ykphuah, if you have less 4G [07:41] burner: i'm going to try for the time being to put the machine on automatic dhcp [07:42] ykphuah: try liveCD [07:42] wizz: I have 4G exact. [07:42] ykphuah, when use 64-bit (: [07:43] ykphuah: go for 32bit, 64bit gave me nothing but trouble on my lenovo T400 [07:43] shauns: I will be getting Lenovo Y450 [07:43] shauns: 32-bit have served me well though [07:43] ykphuah, i'm have bugs in 64 bit's only for xbmc [07:44] Lenovo Y450 look really awesome [07:45] maybe I should see whether the default windows comes in 32 or 64. [07:45] vesayth: good luck.. i'm off :) buenos noches free software amigos [07:45] back [07:45] shauns: yeah, i was very attracted with the looks of it, really nice two color tones.

Google Docs is alright, though is there any non-webapp that does what PowerPoint/Keynote can do? =/ [07:51] yaris123456789: yep, or ctrl-z when the job is running in the foreground. [07:51] pumpkinseed: then use a live system or another user only for this [07:51] ykphuah: good idea... [07:51] btw where can i get ubuntu desktop VPS ? very much like windows vps [07:52] pumpkinseed: also a vm for testing is a good idea [07:52] iceroot: thanks for giving the useful answer second [07:52] Wolf23: sometimes torrent will go slow due to not many seeds ... it might speed up in a bit if you just start it. [07:52] pumpkinseed: the usefull was the first one :) good luck with that [07:53] What's your opinion on Ubuntu 10 [07:53] connie: that there is no ubuntu 10 [07:53] What is everyone's opinon on firefox 3.5? [07:53] Does anyone else have any ideas how I can fix this network problem? Recap: Using ubuntu 64 bit 8.10. Just did system update (with backports enabled). Now I can connect to my router, and get an ip address, but i can't ping the router or anything on the network, and the internet does not work.

[07:55] There are some commercial products, according to my little bit of googleing [07:55] Yeah... [07:55] Honestly, it's not something I need to do very often [07:55] Wolf23: it can probably use any port you want. [07:55] But not really much anything that works?

[07:58] Or at least, can someone let me know how to review my recently updated packages so i know what packages to re-install? [07:58] anyone using an Intel 4965AGN wireless card with Jaunty? [07:58] The pc that is having this issue is my web and samba server, so I'd like to get it up asap [07:59] vesayth1: if you can get an IP address from dhcp, you should be able to ping hosts on the network. [07:59] How can I use the ubuntu LiveCD to tesk my computer? [07:59] kenyon: i cant see the port from ktorrent? [07:59] kenyon: i cannot ping anything, inlcuding the router. I get ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted [07:59] Wolf23: I don't use ktorrent, but probably you can look in the preferences or options. [07:59] kenyon: I do however have an IP address and the router page lists it as an active client [07:59] Hi all [07:59] 0 [08:00] Which mail program u can use only for users on ur local machine? [08:00] vesayth1 permissions? try sudo [08:00] can anybody tell mi where is polish irc ? [08:00] vesayth1: Hmm, what if you sudo ping? [08:00] please [08:00] kenyon and rhorse: same thing [08:00] what's the command in the terminal to see the speed of wireless? (54mbps) [08:00] @SYDNEGUY: Can you clarify what you mean in your question? [08:00] kenyon: it is 6999 but i cant see it on netstat? [08:00] Icemand 'iwconfig' [08:00] SydneyGuy: I think there's a couple of packages that do that [08:00] hello [08:00] ? [08:01] ? [08:01] ? [08:01] syalr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:01] Wolf23: netstat -an | grep 6999 [08:01] like?

How can I send an email from one user to another on the same machine [08:02] kenyon and rhorse: I have also loaded the older kernel to see if the new kernel was the problem, and it did not fix it. [08:02] myrth_jt: thanks. i meant to monitor the speed of wireless connection in the terminal. [08:02] SydneyGuy: You need a mail server on your own machine I think [08:02] SydneyGuy: emailing user@localhost might work [08:02] kenyon and rhorse: originally, it was on a static lease on the router but just for testing purpose i have removed the static lease so that it has a dynamic one. Still no luck [08:03] the command is emailing or mail [08:03] kenyon: ok established yes [08:03] SydneyGuy if you use procmail, you don't need a server, I think [08:03] Iceman, iwconfig will tell you the current connection speed, if you want to constantly poll the card you would do `watch -n 1 iwconfig` [08:03] SydneyGuy: use your regular mail user agent. [08:03] procmail is a local mail.. how about sendmail [08:04] kenyon: i am downloading 4 big files and just i got down/rate for all 24 kb/s [08:04] SydneyGuy youre *sending* locally, right? [08:04] yes [08:04] * bjornredtail apt-gets procmail [08:04] users r on the same machine .. same hostname [08:04] eh... what happened with vmware [08:04] the ui is now... a webui [08:05] SydneyGuy: so what's the problem with emailing to user@yourhost? [08:05] I'm sorry for this, but I didn't copy it all. Here's al of it. I'm sure now. Also, I'm running this process as root. Don't think you can run it as anything else, can you? http://paste.ubuntu.com/172131/ [08:05] @SIMONCPU: Yeah. VMWare people thought it was funny/cool. [08:05] I think if you set $MAILDIR, you can send to user@localhost [08:05] Speaking of VMWare Server... Does anyone know where I can find one of the pre-released versions like an old Beta of VMWare Server 2 where it was still a GTK UI as opposed to the horrendous WebUI? [08:06] you don't need to set anything, just need to be running a mail transefr agent such as postfix. [08:06] myrth_jt: thanks. [08:07] Also, there are no DENY rules in my iptables if it helps [08:07] silare: i wonder if this has a console? [08:07] i can't even install vmware esx's plugin in firefox [08:07] mutt me@lappie2 [08:08] man I need to get to bed. If any of you figure out what's up, e-mail me. seta_3_0_1@yahoo.com [08:08] dont even try it I'm hardened.

[08:10] vesayth1: check /var/log/apt-get or aptitude [08:10] help with mumble my mic doesn't work [08:11] icemanv9: nothing comes up [08:11] vesayth1: ls -lrt /var/lib/dpkg/info [08:11] mumble [08:11] the modification times can give you clues, but the logs are better. [08:12] vesayth1: how do you upgrade the package? [08:12] my mic doesn't work [08:12] silare: ah... it now makes sense [08:12] vmware serve has now become the lite version of vmware infrastructure [08:13] aaaargh... i can't import VMs [08:13] vesayth1: it's probably not ideal, but; `find /var/cache/apt/ -ctime +0 -iname "*"` [08:13] icemanv9: update manager [08:13] myrth_jt: icemanv9's solution helped me find them ^^. I'm going to put them into pastebin to see if anyone has any ideas on how to undo this problem [08:14] SIMONCPU: Ah, really? Lamecakes. [08:14] SIMONCPU: I've never been a VBox fan since it had more problems in virtualizing (as in screen resolution, displays, etc.) vs. VMWare Server, but... =/ [08:14] vesayth1: i'm not sure where update manager stores its info (log) [08:14] so, got a question for you guys... amd64 vs i386? [08:14] Does anyone know where I could find VMWare Server 2 Betas (not final RTMs)? [08:14] i386 [08:15] is there still compatability issues with amd64? [08:15] some. [08:15] vesayth1, /var/log/dpkg.log [08:15] myrth_jt: what are some of the compatibility issues? [08:15] any one use mumble here to talk my mic doesn't work there [08:15] silare: maybe it's still available from their site [08:16] Om3Ddr4gon, does your mic normally work? [08:16] Here are the packages I updated today: http://pastebin.com/d71015e0e [08:16] Before these updates, everything was working fine [08:17] SIMONCPU: Tried. No cookie. =/ They lead me to the final release instead. [08:17] vesayth1: select the kernel before -14 at the grub menu when boot up [08:17] IcemanV9: I've done that already [08:17] Who's to blame if my laptop doesn't start x.org without the power cable plugged in and how do I fix it? [08:18] I've loaded up the -11 kernel [08:18] vesayth1: you said it works fine before these upgrades? [08:18] Nvidia 8600M GS graphics card [08:18] well nope [08:18] Icemanv9: that's correct [08:18] Hello friends [08:18] hi nautica_trs [08:18] Hi Kalumba [08:18] Greetings nautica_trs [08:18] Im newbie in Ubuntu [08:19] so am I [08:19] vesayth1: you know what? why don't you remove -14 kernal? and see if it works with the old one (-11) [08:19] my synaptic just got stuck on an install of the xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package. how can I get it unstuck and recover synaptic and other operations? [08:19] Can you support me? [08:19] brothers in newbiehood [08:19] icemanv9: How do I uninstall a kernel? [08:19] Just remember we were all noobs once. :) [08:19] I don't know. How much do you weigh? [08:19] rk [08:19] lets say ive got an ordinary fileserver running that i can ssh into without problems and that server is also hooked to a small LAN. [08:19] the questions are: 1) will i be able to emulate the normal "connecting to the network with an ethernet cable/wifi and seeing the server" with a VPN? 2. is that kind of VPN very hard to setup? [08:19] Kalumba, are you still there? [08:19] Oui [08:19] On the other hand, is there any software that takes a text file and organizes it so it becomes two columns like a book and fullscreens it? Evince does a good job if the thing is the right dimensions, but otherwise I need to find say... Clockwork Orange as an e-text and reading a text file is painful. [08:20] nautica_trs: I'm here [08:20] I already install apache thru lampp in /opt/lampp folder [08:21] But i didnt install from synaptic [08:21] Hello, there is no one in c++-basic.

I never have simple problems [08:29] i'll sus it out, I assume that means that you guys are confident that this is the problem? [08:30] Kalumba [08:30] I believe it is at least isolated to Nvidia...

[09:30] ikonia, well, there IS a way of doing it without booting from CD. It is called loop driver and that is what I am asking. i can't find that info. I have it somewhere though [09:30] ok, thanks for good will anyway;-) [09:30] vertix: you can mount it with a loop back file system with mount -o loop - however as the livecd runs on squash FS it will be unable to install from it [09:31] rosepetal: before you do anything more, do "sudo apt-get update" and make sure there are no problems there [09:31] oh, here is the command to mount the .iso image: sudo mount -t iso9660 filename.iso /media/iso -o loop I just don't know what to do next to start the install. can anyone help me out on this? [09:31] is there any way to configure udev to enforce not creating a joystick device node for my mouse? [09:32] vertix: as I said, you can mouont it with a loop back file system, but the livecd's file systems are stored on compressed "squashfs" so you won't be able to use it to install [09:32] ikonia, oh, really? so you are saying there is no way to install ubuntu off of liveCD? [09:32] vertix: you need to boot it so squashfs uncompresses and mounts [09:32] maniel: remove/comment out the rule ? [09:32] rosepetal: I got here late what version of ubuntu are you playing with? and you want to load php5-mysql? it loads ok on ubuntu 8.04 here [09:33] exit [09:34] ikonia, well, i can not fry cd from liveCD. So what do I do to install ubuntu? The only thing i can boot from right now is livecd or old redhat linux (redhat 4 enterprise). is there any way to install in this case? btw, i don't have flash either :( [09:34] ikonia: it seems to do it automagically, without rules or with bultin rules, in my /etc/udev/rules.d there are only 70-persistent-cd.rules 70-persistent-net.rules so i think i have to create custom rule for that [09:34] vertix: boot from the livecd [09:35] maniel: you only have those two files n /etc/udev/rules.d ? [09:35] yup [09:35] maniel: something's wrong there [09:35] jaunty installed before yesterday [09:35] vertix: my guess is that you would chroot to the mount point of your livecd and startup what might have been started if it booted [09:35] ikonia, that's what i did. and what do i do next to install from 9.04 image while running from livecd? [09:35] Does someone here well know the LDAP authentication using PAM ? I'm getting lost [09:35] vertix: the livecd is the install CD [09:36] vertix: if you can boot the livecd you can install from it [09:36] ikonia: just listed udev package, it seems to place most of it's rules in /ub/udev/rules.d ;-) [09:36] */lib/udev/rules.d [09:36] maniel: hang on two minutes please [09:37] i'll stard dig in there [09:37] sacarlson, good idea. i do have previous installs (8.10, which does not want to boot for some reason) so i can mount that / filesystem under /mnt. the question is what else do i need to mount? I also have separate /boot partitions. do i need to mount /dev and /proc? [09:37] ziroday: ufw seems to be off, but nothing can ping the box - the box can ping everything [09:37] I have problems with LDAP Authentification ( using PAM . I followed https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html , and got the usual bug ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/auth-client-config/+bug/295008 ) But pam still don't work.

[09:38] ikonia, but my livecd is 8.10 and i did the install from it, but after spending a week on it non stop could not make it boot, no matter what i did. Actually, i'd prefer to fix the 8.10 install rather than jumping into more problems with 9.04 install doing it from livecd [09:38] anyone using komodo edit? [09:39] vertix: when the cd normaly boots it starts from just one mount and creates ramdisk stuff I think to run. so I would think all you would have to mount is the cd. then just try sudo init 2 [09:39] i've used it a long time ago on winxp, it's nice for writing ruby/merb code;-) [09:39] vertix: after you cdroot to it [09:40] hi ppl [09:40] ziroday: thing is crap - desktop has locked up again... - need to find another monitor [09:40] vertix: I have no idea if this will work [09:40] sacarlson, the problem is: i have 9.04 not on cd, but as .iso file and i am running from 8.10 live cd. so what do i do to install 9.04? [09:41] ya but you can mount iso disks as far as I know. I thought you already did that === Ghost is now known as Guest39282 [09:42] oh you already can boot from a cd then I am really lost. I thought you did this because you didn't have cd drive or something === bluepencil is now known as bluegoon [09:42] sacarlson, i can not boot 8.10. it does not work for me. that is why i am trying 9.04 hoping it will boot. because there is something fundamentally wrong somewhere with my 8.10. could be a bad cd. but i can boot from in in livecd mode and it does install. but when it boot's it can not mount the / file system [09:42] Hey guys, how do i save/write my aliases in bash again?> [09:42] sacarlson, btw, do i need the initrd to make sure sata drivers are loaded when i boot 8.10? [09:43]  vertix: can't boot because you loose site of the screen? maybe your problem is you need to add the kernel boot line vga=0x314 [09:44] hello [09:44] sacarlson, cause it looks like booter can not find the sata drivers for some reason. because / file system is clean and in the right parition. everything should boot with no problems. but it can't mount the /, but, stragely enough it does seem to be able to mount /boot, which is on the same drive. that whole thing confuses the issues to the point i can't even guess what's wrong with booting [09:44] I have a server and gutsy repos don't appear anywhere [09:45] I would like to update the server [09:45] to a new version [09:45] but I'm a little afraid to system could crash [09:45] could someone give me some help please? [09:45] sacarlson, nope, it is not screen related problem. when i see the boot messages, last thing i see is [0.700183] VFS: Can not open root-device "" or unknown-block (8,1) [09:46] Blackhold: First you should backup the system while it is stable. [09:46] vigo: it is backed up [09:46] maniel: yup, rules have moved for jaunty [09:46] Blackhold: I guess next would be some commands, update and upgrade. [09:47] apt-get safe-upgrade [09:47]  vertix: so this is after the install when you boot. but it runs fine from the boot cd you plan to install? [09:47] Blackhold: I think that is it, let me double check. [09:47] if someone could help me out figuring out the boot problem with 8.10, that would be really appreciated. i just don't know what to even think of it and i am a developer myself [09:47] vigo: and how to fix the repos? [09:48] vertix: for whatever reason, it's looking in the wrong place for the root filesystem [09:48] Blackhold that is the update thing, update.sources , but let me double check that to be certain. [09:48] i've set up 3 folders for 3 lists i'm subscribed to. how do i configure thunderbird to download those list mails directly into their respective folders? [09:48] in sources what I should put? [09:48] hi guys [09:48]  vertix: never mind I read back and see [09:49] now I've got gutsy [09:49] gordonjcp, may be. but the / is in correct place, and it is clean. btw, is it looking for the right block?

[09:58] sacarlson: the one that nush *just* pasted [09:58] Gnea: i am using netbeans to edit it [09:58] firefox works. wget does not work. Very strange. [09:58] i dont wanna edit it in gdit [09:58] nush: For general errors, update and upgrade , sources.list and stuff like that could maybe help . [09:58] nush: I already *told you*: they stopped updating it. read www.enlightenment.org and www.cafelinux.org [09:58] nabeel: I don't know netbeans. [09:58] Gnea, stopped updating what? The file exists. I just can't download it [09:59] well, i just changed netbeans [09:59] i mean just changed ownership [09:59] from nabeel user [09:59] nush: uhm, there are no e17 debs up there that are updated anymore. [09:59] to root [09:59] sacarlson, i even have a floppy that has stage1 and stage2 on it and it does come up with grub> prompt. but i can't boot from that for some reason [09:59] now i dont know how to edit? [09:59] any help? [09:59] vertix: don't you have friends that have a computer that can burn? [09:59] nush: I should know, I had the same deb source in my sources.list for a few months and not a single update came out of it. [10:00] sacarlson, well, try to catch those friends ... [10:00] Gnea, i'm just trying to download the file so i can install the older debs (which is fine). [10:00] vertix: I don't know maybe you can boot it from a usb flash drive you have any of those? [10:00] nush: then I woke up and read those websites that I just told you about. Clearly, you haven't read them yet and you're trying to still download something that's... not there. [10:00] sacarlson, all i have is 2 drives, no flash [10:01] Gnea. Go to firefox and paste this: http://e17.dunnewind.net/ubuntu/dists/hardy/e17/binary-i386/Packages.gz [10:01] nush: it won't do any good. [10:01] hello folks , how i can know this user is locked: User1:*:51:501:John Doe:/home/user1:/bin/bash ? [10:01] but i thought you CAN install running from livecd using the loop driver and .iso image [10:01] The requested URL /ubuntu/dists/hardy/e17/binary-i386/Packages.gz was not found on this server. [10:01] see? [10:02] Gnea, it works for me. Hit refresh.... it is awkward but it works trust me [10:02] vertix: like try to build a time domain reflectometer with bear claws and flint tools man!! [10:02] vertix: I'm sure it can be done but I'm out of ideas [10:02] sacarlson, nope. it is just a typical computer problem. you never have things in ideal state [10:03] sacarlson, i don't think what i am trying to do is undoable. for one thing, what is that loop driver for and what does it do? [10:03] how can I change the ownership of directory? [10:03] iuiy [10:03] sacarlson, anyway, thanx [10:04] nush: enough. no one makes e17 .debs anymore, you can use the cafelinux.org to use apt to install the easy-e17.sh that will compile the latest from cvs/svn for you, that's how it works nowadays. the site you've pasted is not there, it does not exist. please clear your browser cache. [10:04] vertix: never heard of a loop driver [10:04] sacarlson: sudo mount -o loop file.iso dir/ [10:04] sacarlson, what does this do: sudo mount -t iso9660 filename.iso /media/iso -o loop [10:04] nabeel: chown user.group dir/ [10:05] hello folks , how i can know this user is locked: User1:*:51:501:John Doe:/home/user1:/bin/bash ? [10:05] nush: and please do not PM me. [10:05] vertix that will mount a cd image to browse [10:05] ikonia: i just deleted all home folders .. lost everything .. is there a way to get it back? [10:05] anybody knows what does this do and can i install from that: sudo mount -t iso9660 filename.iso /media/iso -o loop [10:05] hi there guys ...anyone familiar with Remote Desktop for Ubuntu ??? [10:05] Gnea, thankx! [10:06] !ask | parapanghelescu [10:06] parapanghelescu: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [10:06] parapanghelescu i have used it [10:06] hello! [10:07] hello all .. i need help .. i did a rm -rf /home/$username ... lost all home folders ... is there a way to get my data back ?? please help its urgent [10:07] vertix: ok with that you can try the first idea but I don't know if it will work chroot after mount and sudo init 2 [10:07] How would I go about deleting all directories except ones I specify? [10:08] koshari, well that means that file system is mounted now, doesn't it? from then on you should be able to install from that .iso i would think. i even have the previous install that i can mount, say on /mnt and chroot to it if needed. i just need to know what else do i need to mount so that i could install 9.04 from loop filesystem [10:08] nush: here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=916690 [10:08] vertix you wont be able to install from that because you need to boot from it, [10:08] vertix: nother just try it [10:09] phuzion; koshari > So I started/ tested a remote session between 2 linux machines ....first time directly - and not so secure - it worked but not happy about the securrity; now I managed to do it over ssh but il looks that I'm loosing some bandwidth or so .....it's much more slower then the first one ...and the net connection is pretty OK ...over 3 Mbps on each sides .... [10:09] vegombrei you did save backup files ? [10:09] sacarlson:, interesting idea. i might even try to simply mount my 8.10 install that does not boot, then chroot and then try init 2 and see if it comes up [10:09] !info SongBird [10:09] Package SongBird does not exist in jaunty [10:09] Gnea, thanks. Ozos looks nice. Thanks for the help [10:09] hi parapanghelescu, [10:09] nush: cheers [10:10] vertix: there ya go [10:10] koshari, strange. if i have it mounted with loop driver, than it looks like a boot from cd i would think [10:10] parapanghelescu i havnt used it over ssh [10:10] vertix: if init 2 fails might try init 1? [10:10] helper: nope [10:10] koshari > np 10x [10:11] hey does anybody know of a good wifi tool to scan for networks and i need it to be able to refresh the list === korn_ is now known as c_korn [10:11] koshari, init 1? :) thats heavy! [10:11] vertix it may look like it but you would need to chroot and i wont even begin to think how casper will work, if you want to install without making a cd, make a usb boot [10:11] helper: i cant believe i lost everything .... everything, my doccuments my pictures my music everything [10:11] hello [10:11] sacarlson, hey, but what do i have to loose besides all my windows after spending a week trying to boot 8.10? :) [10:12] hi [10:12] xero: doesn't network manager do that [10:12] helper: is there any hope to get all that back? [10:12] I've a question about NSCD and proftpd [10:12] it doesnt refresh the list though [10:12] i've set up 3 folders for 3 lists i'm subscribed to. how do i configure thunderbird to download those list mails directly into their respective folders? [10:12] there is no command for it. [10:12] xero wifiradar [10:12] on HARDY/LTS proftpd does not work without NSCD [10:12] i have that [10:12] and it doesnt have a refresh button [10:12] it seems that it does not get the secondary groups of the users [10:12] Hi guys I have a huge bothersome problem I wish someone could tell me what is wrong [10:13] vertix: it won't break anything when you boot but I'm not so sure about when you try to install from there [10:13] Its about dbus [10:13] starts up with "Faliure to Initialize HAL!" [10:13] on gutsy it works well [10:13] vertix: hope you made backups [10:13] and when recompiling gutsy's proftpd on hardy does not solve the problem [10:13] any idea ? [10:13] phuzion ? [10:13] what [10:14] my question ? [10:14] is there a way to boost my cards signal like how in windows you can boost the distance? [10:14] sacarlson, well, if it comes up, then all the devices will be recognizable and i would think it would be no worst than any properly boot system. cause to come up from level 2, you basically go through entire normal boot process i'd say [10:14] Where can I get information about DBus breaking? [10:14] !dbus [10:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about dbus [10:14] my root pass doesnt work any more dunno why and its the same since 3 years or so! pls help [10:14] * calwig smacks ubottu [10:14] One more thing guys. Apt-get update/install has issues since it seems the following server is down: 0% [Connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com (91.189.88.40)] [10:14] sacarlson, well, it wont eat my disks [10:14] Hi [10:14] !root | ratbert [10:14] ratbert: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [10:15] Where on ubuntu.com do I find the information abot wich stuff has been improved i 9,04? [10:15] parapanghelescu, I don't know anything about what you're asking. All I did was tell you to ask your question. There are more than 1000 people in here, we have to enfocre rules so that the chat doesn't get inundated with excessive "Hi I have a question, does anyone want to help me?" questions. [10:15] dayo, ok sudo pass what ever doesnt work anymore [10:15] vertix: that's right don't be scared we will hold your hand and morn your failures [10:15] vegombrei i donna know but don't think so rm -rf is a dangerous command u need to know how to use it [10:16] sacarlson, :( [10:16] your sudo pass is the same as your login password though [10:16] phuzion > cool; thanks; my mistake [10:16] how can it not work? [10:16] no problem. [10:16] when using the chown command it is the chown user folder or chown folder user ? [10:16] xero, i know it works for log in but not for sudo Authentication failure [10:16] xero: forget the caps lock maybe [10:17] !jaunty | nickoe [10:17] nickoe: Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) is the current release of Ubuntu.

[10:19] ubottu, nop not that. I saw it the day bebore the release somewhere on ubuntu.com. It just tells what the dev team has been working on. You know something about the boot times has been improved etc. I just want to read what they dd for wacom tablets.

[10:21] koshari, so can you explain to me what is the problem with mounting the .iso ubuntu image with loop driver and doing install from it? i just don't get it. if it is mounted and i can see the files, than it is pretty much the same as booting from cd i would think, isn't that the case?

[10:23] Kalmi, but i have my previous 8.10 install. i could mount whatever i need from that install. it just does not boot because grub can't mount the /, but / is clean and mountable [10:24] sacarlson > it worked for me OK in terms of performance when using the direct connection over :5900, but without much security; so no I'm using it over ssh ......and it's not so fast .....so problem is ...it's suppose to work less faster when encripted ???

[10:26] Kalmi, right now i am running off livecd 8.10. i did the install of it and i think i even ran it once, but not sure. but then my grub got clabbored and from then on, i could not boot from it, even after reinstalling it [10:26] adi_ that is the minimal install, [10:26] parapanghelescu: ya I guess it would but that's how I use it and works ok even over the internet. but I never expected it would be perfect.

[10:37] Kalmi you are a hero - this worked properly and the Parallels Tools installer is now up and running! Thank you so much! What was I doing wrong here if you don't mind me asking? [10:37] anyone have a look here and you will understand : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1155961 [10:37] sacarlson, too bad. i really want to get rid of all these splits and joins cause this chan is way too busy to see all that [10:38] parapanghelescu: vnc is all gui control of the desktop not sure what you mean. [10:38] adi_: once was enough. [10:38] adi_: or have you tried the Minimal ISO? [10:38] sacarlson > was not able to use/install vnc4viewer . . .. [10:38] no takers for the dvd ripping? [10:39] yes minimal [10:39] the client meaning [10:39] 10mb iso [10:39] now i have only tty which is normal [10:39] but i dont know how to mount the flash usb and run the script i saved on it [10:39] parapanghelescu: I'm not sure but I think tight vnc is the best maybe fastest [10:39] koshari, yep, i have 8.10 cd and run livecd from it. and i have it also installed, but it does not boot - can't mount the / file system for some weird reason, even thou it is clean and mountable. i suspect it does not have sata driver at that point. but i have a separate /boot partition and it does seem to see it. otherwise, how did it get to the point of not being able to mount / when it mounted /boot off the same drive if it does not have [10:40] adi_: that's very interesting, but you'd need to write up the actual minimal package to make it happen [10:40] adi_: here>https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [10:40] koshari, do you know much about boot sequence and grub? [10:40] !usb | adi_ [10:40] adi_: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [10:40] i dont understand what do u mean for write up [10:41] adi_: in order for a package to exist, it has to be typed up - written up, same thing [10:41]  vertix: ok you got me think I could at least try to mount and cdroot to one of my iso images just to make you happy ok. but I won't install [10:41] vigo | from there i got my min isnatll [10:41] !dev | adi [10:41] adi: Interested in becoming an Ubuntu Developer? Get started here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment [10:42] sacarlson, hey, cool. you need to practice the kernel level afterall :) [10:42] sacarlson > I'll try to check some other clients also [10:42] i installed it and now im stuck casue i dont know how to mount the flash usb and run the script [10:42] to install more apps [10:42]  vertix: best I practice what I preach [10:42] sacarlson, i just can't experiment, cause i have all the windows open and if i have to restart and it fails, it'll take me half an hour to restore everything i have open :( [10:43] adi_: you've said the same thing several times now - did you not see the liks for doing usb that i had ubottu give you? [10:43] write a script so it's won't take so long next time [10:43] sory [10:43] *links [10:43] Gerry2, su is asking for you root user's password... (debian thing) [10:43] sacarlson, but i think you SHOULD be able to run off the loop driver. you just simply need to mount all that is needed, like your /dev and possibly /proc filesystems [10:43] (that sounded bad) [10:44] vertix i donk know exactly where grub hands the boot sequence across to the OS [10:44] "Let's see, how many liks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie-roll flavored Ubuntu? Let's find out! ONE!! TWO!! THREE!!!" *CRUNCH!!!* "Three." [10:45]  vertix: ok my first question how do totaly exit from xserver before I cdroot I don't want to be running xserver [10:45] sacarlson, i was thinking about it. even started writing it, but i really like to get as much feedback as i can, cause once i hit reboot, that will be a misery trip for at least half an hour without any progress, cause i can't boot into real linux [10:45] vertix what you are trying to do is very complicated because you will need to somehow chroot to the initfs [10:46] adi_ that script asnt anything complecated, just install the packages it calls, [10:46] Hi. I've just installed Quanta 3.5 and it keeps complaining about missing cervisia, although it's aready installed. Could someone, please, help? [10:46] vertix: Save session? [10:46] ha, this is strange -- sudo rm -rf ~/.wine/* && rmdir ~/.wine --- foo@bar:~$ rmdir: failed to remove `/home/bod/.wine': Directory not empty -- thats not possible, !?!?! [10:46] I would like some help with ripping dvd's anyone know about that? [10:46] koshari, yep, thats the problem. for one thing it swaps the drives if you have ide/scsi mixed configuration, which is what i have. secondly, it is not clear at what point the scsi drivers are loaded by the grub and documentation on grub is really screwed up. you can waste a day reading it with no results [10:46] vigo, how do i save session? [10:47] (i am running off livecd) [10:47] vertix: https://help.ubuntu.com/search.html?cof=FORID%3A9&cx=003883529982892832976%3Ae2vwumte3fq&ie=UTF-8&q=save+session&sa=Search [10:47] vertix afaik you cant save a session without persistance [10:47] koshari | so from tty i can install all those things it recalls and i will have a X window with gdm and just some apps? [10:48] koshari | than i can add apps i need? [10:48] is that right ' [10:48] adi_ you will have the environment the author describes in his post. [10:48] koshari, that's what i thought. but i could save it on one of my drives, only if i could reload it later [10:48] vertix how many drives do you have? === C7384824 is now known as chalcedony [10:49]  vertix: I don't remember how to exit xserver totaly I still have an xserver terminal [10:49] Hello, is it possible to start and stop tcpdump on two different servers with one single script?

[10:51] sacarlson, but what is the problem? why do you need to exit from xserver? === sean is now known as Guest49194 [10:51] goodnight all [10:51] computer983274: it has a noticable performance increase in some sitatuoins, I would not put /boot on it though [10:51] SimBackup can save whatever to almost where ever. [10:52] orange-wedge, nope. my mbr is overwritten so many times that i don't even know which one to use even though i have tens of copies [10:52] Hi guys, could someone tell me the DBUS service initialization priority numbers on all run levels [10:52]  vertix: when I cdroot to the cd it will have to start without xserver running === marceloa is now known as zxd [10:52]  vertix: or it will not find needed files it normaly has access to [10:52] I seem to have the dbus daemon initializing either too soon or in the middle of initializing HAL, how can I check the numbers where they were defaulted? [10:52] orange-wedge, are you proposing to boot with lilo instead of grub? [10:52] thanx [10:52] computer983274, I am using it without problems, it is not expected to be as table as ext3, but if you care about your data you use backups ;) [10:53] is there an equivalent to windows Internet Connection Sharing in ubuntu 8? if so what is it called? [10:53] do you have to use firmware cutter if using ndiswrapper for broadcom wifi card? [10:53] sacarlson, but you said you are going to go to level 2? in that case, xserver will be restarted. i think it starts at level 3 or 4, don't remember now [10:54] vertix: I found it sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [10:54] sacarlson, i am not following you. if you go to level 2, you are starting to load the whole world [10:54] sacarlson, that sounds right from what i recall [10:54] The following packages have been kept back: [10:54] linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic [10:54] computer983274, I'm using without problems...

[10:54] vertix: ya but I think I have to start that from a point that know where stuf is [10:54] vertix... i guess that might be a try... or have you tried grub-install /dev/hda [10:55] What does it means by that? Havent they been updated? Thouse packages? [10:55] sean2009, disable tracker? [10:55] sean2009, do you need it?

[10:55] sean2009, it's a file indexing service... for fast search... [10:55] sacarlson, at level 2, assuming you have a separate /boot partition, you should be able to see everything if i recall correctly [10:56] sean2009, a CPU hog :) [10:56] Kalmi, ok thanks [10:56] sacarlson, i just did not use linux last few years, cause i was doing all sorts of development under windows, including the kernel level drivers, etc. [10:56] ive setup proftpd but when the user goes into the public_html folder they get permisions error how do i fix this [10:56] vertix: that gdm stop didn't bring me to a point I had control let me try again [10:57] vertix i did find this to uncompress the casper initrd.gz from the install disk gunzip < /media/cdrom/casper/initrd.gz | cpio -i --make-directories [10:57] hi guys, I've just upgraded from ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04 and now I can't access my samba shares from other machines (windows/mac) [10:57] sean2009, System -> Preferences -> Indexing [10:57] I need help getting Java to work in Kubuntu in KDE - I think I installed java correctly for Konqueror, `java` works, but applets don't load.

[10:59] vertix let met burn a copy and boot into my virtual machine [10:59] just a sec [11:00] sacarlson, but i think you simply go to level 3 and that will drop your everything and you'll have a terminal without x-server [11:00] orange-wedge, that would be interesting [11:00] Kalmi, thanks for the help anyway [11:00] I need help getting Java to work in Kubuntu in KDE - I think I installed java correctly for Konqueror, `java` works, but applets don't load.

[11:35] Hey, How can I find a file book.cls somewhere in my filesystem? find book.cls says it doesn't exist, but latex is able to use it. This is driving me nuts... [11:36] use locate [11:36] swiftarrow, locate book.cls [11:37] swiftarrow, find is a bit tricky... [11:38] swiftarrow: locate only works properly after updatebd [11:38] updatebd is in cron by default on ubuntu [11:39] Kalmi: that doesn't mean it is up to date. [11:39] you are right... [11:39] apt-file is even better btw. [11:39] As book.cls is in some package. === hello is now known as Guest29944 [11:40] swiftarrow, you have to use find like this: find -name book.cls [11:42] http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff173/aimpau323/cube.png >> how to do this effect with compiz ?

[11:52] KingKimi: make sure you have 4 workspaces [11:53] i'd like to modify my install so that i boot from a USB drive, which runs my initrd etc, and mounts my encrypted filesystems. does anybody know of any information which might point me in the right directtion? [11:53] !list [11:53] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [11:53] !humor [11:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about humor [11:53] juxta: use the alternatie install CD and you can do that within the install routine [11:53] ikonia: the system is already setup, hehe :) [11:54] juxta: you can manually do it then, [11:54] ikonia,seems to be no [11:54] ikonia: yep, thats what I want to do, but I'm not too sure where to start :) [11:54] dominic_bredoto: find out what kernel that module is part of [11:54] ok [11:54] juxta: first thing is make your boot partition and test and get that working [11:54] dominic_bredoto: as in what version it was first part of [11:54] ikonia: on the usb drive you mean? [11:55] juxta: where ever you want [11:55] hello [11:55] just a short question that has nothing to do with ubuntu [11:56] IcanCU: then don't ask [11:56] hmm [11:56] IcanCU: this channel is for ubuntu support only please. [11:56] but maybe someone knows [11:56] IcanCU: please don't ask [11:56] IcanCU ubuntu-offtopic [11:56] hmm [11:56] LOL [11:56] Hi [11:57] ikonia: ok, i will give it a go. I'm trying to get my head around how it should work - grub etc will reside on the USB drive i'm guessing, and the initrd on the drive will take care of mounting all the filesytems, etc? then once they're mounded, the boot will be passed off to the mounted filesystems? [11:57] juxta: sounds sensible, assuming you can boot from usb [11:57] #ubuntu-offtopic is not a support channel. [11:57] ikonia: yeah - there's hardware support to boot from USB [11:58] juxta: sounds good then [11:58] i got my wifi card to work on my laptop, but i can not get it to scan for stations using wifi radar. can anyone help? [11:58] one more question: "Does openvz are supported in 9.04 or 8.10?" [11:58] so essentially I should be able to copy the contents of my /boot to a USB drive and go from there I think, making it bootable, and then somehow making an initrd with dm-crypt support [11:59] juxta: you'll need to put grub on the boot sector of the usb drive too [11:59] ikonia: ah, right - good point [11:59] hrmm [11:59] i have a feeling that this is going to be a lot of trouble :) [11:59] (esp next time i want to update my kernel) [12:00] juxta, are you starting with a fresh install? [12:00] juxta: as long as your fstab is correct won't be any problem [12:00] I have problems with playing swf movies in firefox under 9.04 amd64 how to solve this [12:00] j0ve: no, not a fresh install - on a working system [12:01] ikonia: the USB drive will need to be inserted to do kernel updates and the like though, wont it? [12:01] juxta: usb drive will need to be inserted for any access to /boot [12:01] juxta: which includes kernel updates [12:01] hmm okay [12:02] hello [12:03] hello [12:03] Hi flood [12:03] Hi Du-sby [12:04] i need assistance with crytal report. are you someone who would be willing to take 30 sec to tell me my design cannot be compatible with what im trying to accomplish ?

[12:15] then it asks you to go to adobe website [12:15] Johnny_B_Good: you're asking an ubuntu quesiton, you're fine here [12:15] and from there you can select to download the .deb package in order to view those files, be sure to open it up with the package manager and install the package :) [12:15] xub: thanks [12:16] paul68: install the package "flashplugin-nonfree" through the package manager so ubuntu can maintain/update it for you [12:16] ikonia, ok...sorry...=) [12:16] rAUNCH: hum ok, so you can change the language of your system: go to System > Administration > Language support [12:17] ok, my turn, where do i create a bootable usb stick?

[12:22] ok got it [12:22] Hi all I just upgraded to 9.04 and my screen resolution has changed. In the resolution menu I only have a set of possibilityies can't remember how to get other exotic resolutions [12:22] ikonia: those downloaded from mail folder of my site [12:22] jp_sf: what do you mean exactly? i found a guide in ubuntuforums for hebrew and i downloaded all the fonts but how do i sort it all now i have no idea :\ [12:22] silv3r_m00n: and what format are they in [12:22] of course mime [12:23] silv3r_m00n: they must be in a file format, - what format is the mail being stored in [12:23] can anybody help me with installation of applications? [12:24] selkies: which applications ? [12:24] silv3r_m00n, he's asking the file format,.. like mbox, pst [12:24] kmail can read it .......its fine [12:24] ikonia: with add/remove application or synaptic package.. [12:24] selkies: what's the problem [12:24] rAUNCH: maybe you should try to go in #ubuntu-il [12:25] hey is ubuntu secure? [12:25] rAUNCH: to ask your question [12:25] Anyonebutsteve: as secure as you make it [12:25] ikonia: what i want to know is that what ever i install . can i save those installation files [12:25] yes [12:25] jp_sf: Ill try, thanks :) [12:25] hmmm [12:25] selkies: they are in /var/cache/apt [12:25] well lets see [12:26] DCC SEND startkeylogger 0 0 0 [12:26] ikonia: k thanks [12:26] Opera is FOSS, right? [12:26] dayo, no [12:26] gaveen: OSS? [12:27] dayo, it's free but not FOSS [12:27] gaveen: aaah [12:27] dayo: it's proprietary freeware [12:27] ikonia:does it also contain all the system updates? [12:27] selkies: no [12:27] HI all in upgrading to 9.04 my resolution changed. I can't set it back because I only see 1024 and 1280 in the resolution menu, but had something like 110 bedfore. [12:27] free as in 'beer' but not as in 'liberty' [12:28] dayo, I meant free as in free of charge. But Opera is not FOSS :) [12:28] ikonia: can the system updates be retrieved too? [12:28] hello ! my memory usage is below 1/3, any way to let it use much more . so maybe it will be faster. [12:28] selkies: to be honest I don't know, I've never looked [12:29] ikonia: thanks again.. [12:30] selkies, system updates are also delivered in .deb packages. So you can get them. But /var/apt/cache isn't a cache, not a storage [12:30] in trying to use qemu, i now try to use the cdrom to start the installation of the "guest", and i get this error : "you do not have enough space in '/dev/shm/ for the 256 mb of qemu virtual ram. to have more space available provdided you have enough RAM and swap, do as root : umount /dev/shm" [12:30] i did just that, and it said that '/dev/shm' was "busy" [12:30] Kalmi, well...I think I've installed it...but...do you know how to start it??? [12:31] khaime, you can't unmount /dev/shm === _Ranakah is now known as Ranakah [12:31] gaveen: so how do i take care of this "256 mb" problem ? [12:32] khaime, that means you don't have enough memory for the new VM [12:32] can i do this : "mount -t tmpfs -o size=272m none /dev/shm" while "/dev/shm" is running ? [12:32] /dev/shm represents shared memory http://is.gd/zMN6 === Atlante_DoDo is now known as Atlante [12:33] Salut tout le monde ! [12:33] HI all in upgrading to 9.04 my resolution changed. I can't set it back because I only see 1024 and 1280 in the resolution menu, but had something like 110 bedfore. [12:33] @lorenzosu 110? [12:33] no that can't be right [12:33] probably 10 [12:33] GnosticAscension: Sorry something around 1100 soething [12:34] how do i determine how much memory i have on my linux box [12:34] Quelqu'un saurait comment mettre un iso ubuntu minimal sur clé usb? :p [12:34] i am certain it is at least 512..but how do i confirm [12:34] lorenzosu: also resolutions are horizontal X vertical [12:34] khaime, free -m [12:34] like 1024 X 768 et cetera [12:35] lorenzosu: what are the options in the display settings box? [12:35] khaime, or check in the system monitor [12:35] GnosticAscension: It was 1152x768 I thinkù [12:35] total used free shared buffers cached [12:35] Mem: 494 483 10 0 10 94 [12:35] -/+ buffers/cache: 378 115 [12:35] Swap: 1443 68 1375 [12:35] khaime: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:35] GnosticAscension: The ones in that range are 1280x960 and 1024x768 [12:36] http://paste.ubuntu.com/172266/ [12:36] khaime, means you have around 494MB memory in total [12:36] hi, someone got a profile for ufw to block wine access to the internet, or knows how to make it? [12:36] khaime, that's usually not enough memory to use in a desktop OS plus a 256MB VM [12:37] lorenzosu: so I guess setting it to 1034 X 768 should be ookay [12:37] *okay [12:37] gaveen: so what about "swap" why do it said used : 1443 [12:37] lorenzosu: lesser res would be very blocky [12:37] GnosticAscension: I need it because I am short sighted. And by the way I guess I'm free to set whatever resolution I want. [12:37] gaveen: thanks [12:38] khaime, that is you have about 1443 MB is swap space in total. Swap is something similar to virtual memory in Windows [12:38] does anybody know how to install ubuntu from livecd using .iso image via loop driver? [12:38] vertix: no [12:38] vertix: you can't [12:38] but someone said i can the other day [12:38] lorenzosu: (about the free bit....of course) [12:38] ikonia, it is mountable and i can see the files [12:39] lorenzosu: is the 1024 X 768 the lowest? [12:39] so either copying it to r/w file system and mounting /dev should do it [12:39] vertix, it is possible, ikonia is just being stupid that it aint possible [12:39] vertix: you can see the livecd file - not the insall files as they are on squashFS with absoulte paths [12:39] vertix, you can mount it in a different machine and use it as a HTTP or NFS server to do a network based installation [12:39] GnosticAscension: The lowes above 1k for X [12:39] znh, i know it is possible, i just don't know exactly what to do [12:39] znh: please mind your manners [12:39] znh, because i AM seeing the files [12:40] vertix: you can see the install files ? [12:40] gaveen, well, unfortunately i have only 1 machine [12:41] gtg GnosticAscension thanks for your help anyway [12:41] vertix, you can mount the iso with 'mount -o loop (ISOfilename> but I won't guarantee you can install from it [12:41] vertix, are you trying to install ubuntu on a virtual machine? [12:41] ikonia, that's the whole point of loop driver - i can see EVERYTHING on that .iso image like it is my driver [12:41] the files are on sqaush fs - mounting the cd just shows the livecd [12:41] drive [12:41] vertix: no it can't [12:41] vertix, that should be a sudo command btw [12:41] vertix: squashFS files are compressed within the iso [12:42] i can just copy the whole tree to r/w directoy and create /dev on it and then bind it to my running system [12:42] ikonia, we just tested it [12:42] vertix: so why are you asking if you CAN do this, if you CAN do this why are you not doing it [12:42] Hi I've got 2 PCs, both x86, one running Ubuntu 8.04, the other Ubuntu 6.06, can I use distcc over those two? [12:43] it is scrolling to fast here, i am lost [12:43] vertix: so why are you asking if you CAN do this, if you CAN do this why are you not doing it === criminy is now known as criminy|work [12:43] hi - i have plugged in a second display for dual screening.. and i unplugged it because it didnt work properly [12:43] now my compiz and emerald is deactivated - my resolution is wrong, and everything has very low fps [12:43] what is wrong here? [12:43] ikonia, if you know what you are talking about and can help me out to install 9.04 from livecd, fine, otherwise sorry [12:44] I first installed #ubuntu, then I installed windows and now my boot is wiped off [12:45] vertix: you're saying you CAN do something, then asking how to do it [12:45] vertix: if you CAN do it, just do it and stop asking, and then write a wiki guide for it [12:45] i don't have the cdrom/iso though [12:45] !grub | vegpuff There's a section here listing how to reinstall grub after installing windows [12:45] vegpuff There's a section here listing how to reinstall grub after installing windows: 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 [12:45] can i just install the grub [12:45] on 9.04, in the last few bootups, i have not been able to hibernate or sleep, but in the past, i have been able to. where should i start to figure out why this is? [12:45] ikonia, you can go talk to someone else if you are interested in guilt trips. I said that .iso image IS mountable and i can see files on it [12:45] vertix: and as I've explained you won't be able to see the squashFS file systems === mirk_ is now known as mirk [12:45] vertix: you can mount an ISO image - thats fine, but the installation files are held on a squashFS filesystem that is within the ISO file system you have just mounted [12:45] Hi. I'm creating a custom distribution of ubuntu for a charity which fixes old computers to send to africa. It will be a distribution with all the software (apache, mysql, etc.) requried for moodle. I'd like to add a menu to the installer which allows you to setup moodle. like enter moodle site name, etc. [12:46] ikonia, i just need to talk to someone who KNOWS how to do it. that's all. who is saying what and why is not my concern [12:46] Thinking out loud, surely the squashfs file system is also mountable... [12:46] benofsky: this is for ubuntu support - we can't support your distro [12:46] Is it possible to share sound output devices over a network? [12:46] kmdm: it is, but then it contains absoulte paths [12:46] ikonia, i need to make it WORK, you understand? not argue about and about and about who is "good" and who is "bad" [12:46] ikonia, this is a ubuntu support question... it's about ubuntu. [12:47] benofsky: no - it's about you making your own distro [12:47] kmdm, sure, why not? if it is a file system then why shouldn't i be able to mount it? [12:47] ikonia: hmm, I've never used squashfs so I don't know the impact of that :S Could you not chroot into it though? *shrug*, I should really go play with squashfs before commenting ;) [12:47] kmdm, especially if i can see it? [12:47] ikonia, from ubuntu... how about I just say I want to customise the ubuntu installer? [12:48] Hi all [12:48] kmdm: if you chroot - you can't see your host distros commands to use (because you're not running the livecd) [12:48] I've just made my GPG Key .. [12:48] Do I need to sign my own key? [12:48] ? [12:48] someone said this COULD be done [12:48] but i just don't have all the pieces together [12:48] can anyone give me a hint why my resolution has changed after pluggin in another monitor on my x20 notebook, and i cant change the resolution to 1400*xxxx like it was before? [12:48] kmdm: the basic technique of "can I uncompress these file systems" is obvious, sure, but then making the installers source/target points in relation to that setup without running from the livecd would be very tricky [12:49] and why my compiz doesnt work [12:49] I've just made my GPG Key .. [12:49] Do I need to sign my own key? [12:49] ? [12:49] vertix: is it possible he was wrong ? [12:49] when i run win32 disk imager to install ubuntu on my netbook i get error 8 [12:49] Hey guys, does anyone know why kde systemsettings is blank? I'm using jaunty xubuntu but I want to change the kde theme [12:49] benofsky, Check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization [12:49] has anyone ever had a problem with pm-suspend or s2ram where the machine sleeps , but when it comes back to life the monitor is simply blank (no backlight) ? [12:49] ikonia: Aye, I'd need to explore the livecd first and I'm not sure I'm THAT interested in it... ;) [12:49] ikonia, I AM running from livecd already [12:49] vertix: Backtracking... why do you want to install it this way? [12:50] mib_nu2cu6ni: you trying to use the netbook.img file to install to a netbook? [12:50] kmdm: in the relms of possabilities, it is possible, in the relms of realities, I can't see how [12:50] gaveen, already read/reading it. Doesn't talk about customising installer! [12:50] Anyone can answer my simple question [12:50] vertix: so why not click " install" if you are already running from the livecd ? [12:50] I've just made my GPG Key .. [12:50] Do I need to sign my own key? [12:50] Is it possible to share sound output devices over a network, between 2 ubuntu boxes. i.e. output of vlc on one box to the speakers of another? [12:50] when i run win32 disk imager to install ubuntu on my netbook i get error 8 [12:50] solexious: thats supposed to be a feature of 'pulse audio' yes.. (and no ive never done it) [12:50] how to install .run file ?? [12:50] kmdm, the problem i have is that i installed 8.10, but my mbr was clabbored [12:51] KingKimi: By running it, I would guess [12:51] KingKimi: it's a binary rile, make it executable and run it [12:51] i can't boot 8.10 no matter what i do [12:51] vertix: So fix grub? ;) [12:51] Dr_willis, thanks will use that for google food [12:51] mib_nu2cu6ni: you trying to use the netbook.img file to install to a netbook? or use that tool to put the img file on a thumbdrive? [12:51] vertix: if you are running from the livecd why don't you click the "install" icon ? [12:51] Guys ....it is a simple answer YES or NO .. and I will be grateful [12:51] I've just made my GPG Key .. [12:51] Do I need to sign my own key? [12:51] benofsky, the article is about creating a custom live CD with your package selection. Read though :) [12:51] kmdm, i tried everything conceivable. but i get error saying it can't mount / filesystem [12:52] vertix: why don't you click "install" if you are running on the livecd ? [12:52] vertix: the livecd has the installer on it [12:52] Well .. I am ignored completely [12:52] yup. I have read through gaveen top to bottom. but I want to modify the installer. [12:52] does anyone know about win32 disk imager? [12:52] to offer more configuration [12:52] mib_nu2cu6ni: the guys in ##windows maybe ? [12:52] vertix: If it is your MBR that's toasted won't reinstalling grub to the MBR do it? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [12:52] OK .. Thanx all anyway [12:52] ikonia, i DID reinstall it, but it won't boot. someone said yesterday they have the same exact problem with 8.10. that is why i am trying to install 9.04. but i can only boot from livecd [12:52] mib_nu2cu6ni: ive asked you a few questions to clarify what you are doing.... [12:52] SydneyGuy: you're note being ignored... most likely nobody here knows the answer to your question [12:53] vertix: what happens when you try to boot ? [12:53] even the operators [12:53] maybe... [12:53] benofsky, modifying the installer is not like remastering the live CD. You'll have to write code on your own most probably [12:53] ok thank you for your kindness [12:53] gaveen, that's fine. but I have no idea where to start! [12:54] SydneyGuy: you want to use gpg ? [12:54] kmdm, i did reinstall ang grub is fine, i can START booting, but at the point of mounting root file system it complains it can't do it even though it is clean and in correct place. [12:54] vertix: what is the error you get when it tries to mount [12:54] ikonia, just a sec [12:54] last 3 lines: [1.536064] RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0.

[12:57] partition 8 on sdb [12:57] and that partition is clean and in the right place [12:57] vertix: Personally, I'd try something like mounting my root fs in the livecd, chrooting to it and getting update-initramfs to rebuild the image... something like that, off the top of my head (having not done it myself)... [12:57] vertix: what is the filesystem type on this partition ? [12:58] vertix: (you'll need to specify -k to pass the correct kernel version if it differs from the livecd, which it might) [12:58] kmdm, sounds about right. can you tell me exact steps? i am new to ubuntu [12:58] it's a start. thanks gaveen!

[13:00] wouldn't it be better to recompile the stock kernel, only adding HIGHMEM64? [13:00] ikonia, just a sec [13:00] or am I saying stupid things? :-) [13:00] hiya [13:00] Packaging Training session in #ubuntu-classroom now! [13:01] http://pastebin.com/m69143616 [13:01] mib_qgfeh6: why do you not want to use a 64bit OS [13:01] kmdm, can you tell me the exact steps to rebuild ramfs or give me a pointer? [13:02] flintwingel: i have already installed everything and started working on this machine :-) [13:02] kmdm, but i would think that if i booted from livecd, i already have ramfs [13:02] also, the 64bit kernel has the same issue [13:02] dr_willis i am using the tool to put the img on my thumb drive [13:02] vertix: Once you chroot, something like: update-initramfs -u -k 2.6.27-7-generic [13:02] the stock kernels don't see 4Gb of RAM [13:02] Hello, i have just bought a pc that should act as a file server. It has 4 1TB disks. I have planned to use md to create a raid5, can I install ubuntu on that raid5 or do I need additional drives? [13:03] also, not everything plays nice with 64bit [13:03] mib_qgfeh6: the 64bit kernel will, but you can't just copy the 64bit kernel onto a 32bit install [13:03] when using dmcrypt and cryptsetup, is the crypttab file contained in the initrd image somewhere? [13:03] flintwingel: that's why i want to enable highmem on 32bit :-) it should be quite easy [13:03] btw, are the server kernels really THAT different? [13:04] mib_qgfeh6: you need to recompile the 32 bit kernel with the PAE extension [13:04] mib_qgfeh6 stick with the desktop kernel, the 32 bit desktop uses the extra ram as IT needs it, Dont try to get the 64 bit kernel into a 32 bit system [13:04] mib_qgfeh6: but its not good for performance [13:04] vertix: what have you been doing to your box ??? [13:04] kmdm, once i do update-initrms, then what? [13:04] vertix: you've got odd kernels in thre [13:04] vertix: Reboot and see if it boots [13:04] vertix: what kernel version are you trying to boot ? [13:05] hi. [13:05] vertix: how can you have a 8.10 kernel of 2.6.9-el ? [13:05] ikonia, i tried to make many different configurations. i also have old redhat on it and it is working, but it can't fry cds for some reason [13:05] flintwingel: and that's where i am stuck. i am following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile, but i can't figure out how to configure the kernel === sleeping`dragon is now known as erro404notfound [13:05] vertix: ahhh I think I know the problem [13:05] i was used to make menuconfig === erro404notfound is now known as error404notfound [13:05] vertix: did you install redhat after ubuntu ? [13:06] kmdm, i am not following it. do you mean rebuild-ramfs is persistent? [13:06] mib_qgfeh6 Keep reading... This is not the place to learn how to compile your own kernels [13:06] but that guide (the "ubuntu" way) wants me to edit a config file i can't even find :-) [13:06] hey guys. How do I avoid doing swapoff -a everytime I boot? [13:06] mib_qgfeh6: [13:06] vertix: update-initramfs will re-create the image under /boot [13:06] ikonia, i am trying to boot 8.10 and someone said yesterday they have the same exact problem [13:06] vjacob: remove swap from /etc/fstab [13:06] vertix: which kernel ? [13:06] ikonia, cool [13:07] vertix: and did you install redhat before or after ubuntu ? [13:07] ikonia: it's already commented out, e.g. #UUID=5fc0b91c-cdd6-4013-b6dd-37bf4e69f699 none swap sw 0 0 [13:07] ikonia, nope redhat was installed BEFORE ubuntu [13:07] should I remove it entirely? [13:07] mib_qgfeh6: kernel compile is not something you should do lightly [13:07] vjacob: can do === sandeep is now known as Guest5750 [13:07] vertix: has ubuntu 8.10 ever booted ? [13:07] kmdm, cool [13:08] mib_qgfeh6: if you only need is to use >3.5G RAM use the 64bit version [13:08] mib_qgfeh6: I say t his for your onw peace of mind :) [13:08] ikonia, i think i was able to boot it once, but i don't remember at this point [13:08] is anyone running vodafone broadband mobile with jaunty? [13:08] How can I solve the bug eth0-disconected after update my Ubuntu to 9.04? [13:08] ikonia, i usually always verify installs :) [13:09] thanks I guess ikonia [13:09] How can I restrict users connecting through OpenSSH to only read,write and view to their home directories? [13:09] vertix: the theory i have - and it is just a theory is ubuntu did not install grub and you are using the Redhat (enterprise 4 I'm guessing) grub install, I do'nt believe from memeory that grub from RHEL4 has uuid support built in [13:09] vertix: although that does conflict a little with that you say you can boot RHEL ok [13:10] ikonia, nope, this i wrong theory. i am using grub from 8.10 [13:10] hi there [13:10] vertix: whichi 8.10 kernel are you trying to boot ? [13:10] ikonia, yes, i CAN boot from redhat [13:10] Someone can help-me? [13:10] no internet connections work on my aspire one with nebook remix, is it possible that a reinstall will fix the issue?

[13:15] vegpuff you will need a live cd to fix it [13:15] beilabs, you can still install an older version of python without replacing the current version [13:15] ikonia, (from livecd i mean) [13:15] Jack_Sparrow: :( [13:15] Jack_Sparrow: no live cd [13:15] vegpuff super grub seldom works for me [13:15] vertix: at what point does the mount complain, has it done the ro boot, or is it before that ?

[13:23] vertix: I suggest you have a problem with your install media if ubuntu and redhat setups do not have initrd setup by default [13:23] vertix: if you don't know where you got the initrd from - then that could explain the crc error [13:23] ikonia, could be. i've got this disk from some friend and it did install and i think i ran it once, but i might have only 1 ide drive at that time and that could be the reason inird was not added to the grub === gaveen_ is now known as gaveen [13:24] vertix: that would not be the reason initrd is not added [13:24] vertix are you mixing ide and sata drives as well [13:24] vertix: the number of drives does not effect the install routine [13:24] ikonia, i know about redhat. i am the one who made production gold disks for SGI (silicon graphics) :) [13:24] vertix: then you should know it installs initrd by default [13:24] ikonia, i am pretty certain the crc error is the key here [13:24] how do i update ash, and dash?

[13:26] dr4g /join #apache2 [13:26] How i can switch to ext4 i know about possible data loss.... [13:27] !patience > morteza_k [13:27] ikonia, at this point, it is hard to say which was the original grub configuration. unfortunately i am not sure i saved the orignal one [13:27] morteza_k, please see my private message [13:27] vertix: doesn't matter what the original was, you seem very confident ubuntu and redhat installed without initrd [13:27] Hi All, something strange just happened: About an hour ago, my Ubuntu 8.10 became really unresponsive and the HDD started grinding like crazy. I let it go for about half an hour, and then did a hard power cycle. The cursor wouldn't even move, and I couldn't access a console by cntrl+alt+F#. Now i find some data gone, and when I double click on a text document, it tries to get gksu to open it... [13:27] Jack_Sparrow i have www-data in my /etc/group file: www-data:x:33: - but it tells me that www-data is an invalid group. [13:27] vertix: so I suspct your installed media is wrong/damaged in some way [13:27] dr4g /join #apache2 [13:27] Jack_Sparrow, i know about problems with mixing drives. but yesterday i even tried to unplug ide drive and see if i can boot, no luck [13:27] ok [13:27] dr4g: the group is subversion not www-data [13:28] So it is, apologies, it seems i'veinstalled SVN but not applied the 'subversion' group to it. [13:28] i done sudo apt-get install subversion. [13:28] What have i done wrong ? [13:28] how i can switch to ext4 ? [13:28] Xub [13:28] ikonia, well, as i said, i can't be certain what config was there originally. i COULD try to check it out and see by backups, but that could be another half of a day lost [13:28] !ext4 [13:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about ext4 [13:28] :-O [13:29] dr4g: check /etc/group... it looks like you do not have a group called subversion [13:29] vertix: if you re-install ubuntu 8.10 it should re-write grub and the menu.list (remove your old 8.10 entried) lets see what it adds then [13:29] Any ideas anyone? [13:29] is there anyone here that can assist me with sound support on 9.04 on an IBM X41 [13:29] flintwingel shouldnt it be added when i do "sudo apt-get install subversion" ?? [13:29] ikonia, nope. redhad installed WITH its initrd, and i am not sure about ubuntu [13:29] XUB [13:29] anyone having problems with remote desktop with ubuntu jaunty? [13:29] vertix: so - re-install ubuntu and lets check [13:30] i get a black screen when i connect to the remote system [13:30] vertix: you're changing your situation a lot, you where certain you manually added redhat and ubuntu's 5 minutes ago [13:30] I need help out here [13:30] swiftarrow, you prolly got rooted, and if that is the case, get ready, the picture of hell is about to be shown to you [13:30] ubottu: will u help me? [13:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about will u help me? [13:30] vertix: I know it's easy to get muddled up if you've been working on this a while, so why not re-install ubuntu 8.10 from a clean situation and lets see what menu.lst it generates [13:30] dr4g: no - the subversion package is for users & servers. The link you posted tells you to add the subversion group [13:31] hello [13:31] flintwingel where does it say that ? [13:31] ubottu: wireless problem vostro 1310 [13:31] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:31] i see it flintwingel [13:31] apologies. [13:31] ikonia, i don't know about damaged media. could be. actually, i could get md5 verification of my media i think, except i don't have the .iso image. i only have disk 8.10 [13:31] can any one help me with wireless problem in vostro 1310? [13:31] morteza_k PATIENCE [13:32] vertix: the 8.10 disk has a "check disk" function on it [13:32] morteza_k: tell us what your problem is and someone may be able to help... [13:32] ikonia, i DID reinstall 8.10 and nothing changed. no luck. I have 2 separate 8.10 insalls and both behave the same way more or less [13:34] vertix: that's worth running, then re-install 8.10 (clear down the ubuntu entreis in menu.lst first) and lets see what it writes [13:34] walace Read your PM [13:34] vertix: but you don't know wha tyou did - your changing the situation, hence why I'm saying do a clean insall so we know where you are [13:34] vertix: if you have 2 installs - how do you know your editing the right menu.lst [13:34] flintwingel: i cant have a wireless connection,it doesnt work,it worked in 8.04 but not in 9.04 [13:34] ikonia, i did not MANUALLY added redhat initrd. i manually added the ubuntu initrd the same way it was done for redhat's grub [13:34] !guidelines > walace [13:34] walace, please see my private message [13:34] vertix: I suggest cd checking the cd - then re-installing 8.10 and just working with that [13:34] morteza_k: what is the network card? [13:36] ikonia, i DID reinstall 8.10 already and it did not help === boshhead_ is now known as boshhead [13:36] flintwingel: i think broadcom STA, [13:36] h [13:36] i [13:36] vertix: in your menu.lst your redhat entries are called ubuntu 8.10 and they do not have initrd entries, so I don't know how you can say you added them like redhat's if the redhat entries don't have the initrd setup [13:36] ikonia, how do i do check disk? [13:36] vertix: when yo uboot it there is an option to "check install media" or words to that effect [13:36] my usb-stick didn't works [13:36] Bierwagen: doesnt mount? [13:36] if i connect the usb-stick with the usb-hub [13:36] Bierwagen Are you in ubuntu now or trying to boot it from usb [13:36] then the LED of the usb-stick is shining [13:36] ikonia, because i have separate /boot partitions and i put all imaginable boot related files on both /boot partitions, so it does not matter which one grub swaps into which place [13:36] but nothing else happends [13:36] I get a segmentation fault, when using libsdl-perl. I don't think this is an sdl problem, but rather a dependency problem, because I tried to install some other libsdl packages before. How can I check this? [13:36] Bierwagen: so this a bootable USB stick?? or a normal one? [13:36] Bierwagen: do you see any additional output if you run 'dmesg |tail -f' and plugin or unplug the drive? [13:36] how can i install AMR decoder in ubuntu , ubuntu-restricted-extras doesn't have AMR decoder? [13:36] vertix: your setup sounds a mess, and your comments in the channel keep conflicting, you said you did not add the redhat entreis to grub - yet they do no have initrd [13:36] have anyone problem with wireless in vostro 1310 ? [13:38] !details > morteza_k [13:38] morteza_k, please see my private message [13:38] !wifi > morteza_k [13:38] ikonia, those redhat entries do not matter right now. we don't even try them anyway. i was just copy/pasting things around to get more configurations to try various options [13:38] Hello everybody [13:38] Boohbah: [13:38] dmesg |tail -f [13:38] [ 1799.264059] usb 3-1: device descriptor read/64, error -110 [13:38] [ 1814.480044] usb 3-1: device descriptor read/64, error -110 [13:38] [ 1814.696058] usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 [13:38] [ 1829.864070] usb 3-1: device descriptor read/64, error -110 [13:38] Bierwagen: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[13:38] vertix: if the redhat stuff doesn't matter - I suggest removing your ubuntu and redhat data - and doing a clean 8.10 install so we have a known sound base to work from [13:38] I can't see my local network, and I can't use a printer in my lan, what's the problem?. I'm using ubuntu jaunty [13:38] redpearl: use netcat (nc) [13:40] I'm using internet by my lan [13:40] how can i install AMR pluggin in ubuntu ? [13:40] ikonia, i am not sure why are we talking about REDHAT entries? what do they have to do with all this? I CAN boot redhat. i need to boot 8.10 or do a fresh install on 9.04 from .iso image i have, but running from livecd, cause i can't burn disks and i can't take them out running from livecd. [13:40] i guess, an antivir of windows had destroyed some boot information of the usb-stick [13:40] flintwingel, nc, ask me to enter command. what should i enter? [13:40] but i don't know [13:40] can you get me start? quick tutorial [13:40] so what can i do? [13:40] vertix: the redhat entreis where important to me because a.) they conflicted with the sitaution you where explaining to me b.) you used them as a base for your ubuntu install [13:40] flintwingel, machine A and machine B are on 192.168.x.x network [13:40] anyone know what the difference between mysql and mysql-community is? [13:40] Bierwagen: you say you are using a usb hub? is there any change if you eliminate the hub and plug the drive directly into a usb port on the box? [13:40] vertix: hence why I'm saying remove it all and put a clean 8.10 install on so we have a known base point to work from [13:41] sorry port [13:41] redpearl: netcat is very simple tool to transmit data across a network [13:43] hi everyone, i wanna ask if there is a diffrence between installing directly 9.04 and installing 8.10 than upgrade to 9.4 [13:43] hi, im tyring to install netbook remix to my aspire one, ive done the usb thing 3 times now and it always has errors when i check integrity [13:43] first 2 errors, then 3, then 3 again [13:43] Boohbah: its an usb-port not hub - sorry [13:43] Hey guys, after a few days of using Ubuntu I've decided to make the plunge and replace Vista with it but I'm having troubles in the paritioning stages. I'm keeping my NTFS data partition and I'm using the following sizes for the rest. I'm on a 250GB hard drive and the data parititon is 111GB. / = 2GB, Boot = 2GB, Swap = 4GB, Var = 20GB and /Home = rest of space. [13:43] erdem810: ext4 native insall is not available in 8.10 [13:43] erdem810: If you can - do a clean install. not a upgrade [13:43] redpearl: see here for some examples http://www.g-loaded.eu/2006/11/06/netcat-a-couple-of-useful-examples/ [13:43] but if i install 9.04 directly, my audio card and wireless card doesnt work correctly [13:43] flintwingel, thx [13:43] when you check the disk for defects... does it fix them?

[13:43] Bierwagen: i am googling http://www.google.com/search?q=usb+read%2F64%2C+"error+-110" [13:43] ikonia, redhat entries do not matter. period. i am not even booting from them and they can not be used by grub unless i chose that configuration to boot from. that is what i understand. simply reinstalling 8.10 does not work. because i already did that once and spent half a day on it repartitioning my drives and creating 2 new partitions with another version of non working 8.10. this is a royal waste of time. this approach won't work [13:44] !attitude > vertix [13:44] when you check the disk for defects... does it fix them? [13:44] vertix, please see my private message [13:44] vertix: I'm asking you to a.) clean down your menu.lst of ubuntu details, b.) re-install ubuntu onto the existing ubuntu partitions chosing the format option, so we have a known base to work from and move forward [13:46] vertix: that way we can see what ubuntu adds to the exiting menu.lst at boot time and work forward knowing the situation [13:46] ikonia, thanx for your time [13:46] Dr_Willis: no i directly installed 9.04 and they didnt work and then i installed 8.10 (didnt upgrade) and they worked, but i afraid to upgrade 9.04 or afraid to makse the updates (about 300mb) === sharperguy2 is now known as sharperguy [13:46] * jepes28 checks his nick [13:46] erdem810: get a alternate install CD then [13:46] erdem810: hard to tell then.. if 8.10 works.. stick with it till 9.04.1 then perhaps..

[13:56] Bierwagen: same problem?? [13:56] Jack_Sparrow, recommend me so partition sizes for say 100GB hard drive please. [13:56] yes [13:56] Blodskur: i just normally use a / and a /home and a swap. I dont worry too miuch about var and others. [13:56] with my usb-stick [13:56] icedwater, can you check your resolve.conf again [13:56] ?

[13:56] Single boot yep. [13:56] gaveen: sure. It has 3 entries below the generated by network manager comment [13:56] fr0de: which it does not have.... [13:56] I just want to keep my NTFS partition too. [13:56] Which means probably it's not generating anything. [13:56] it only has usb ports [13:56] Blodskur: my boot files take up 14mb total.

[13:59] how can i acheive this? [13:59] which usb installer? [13:59] pw-toxic: i normally install/run the 'fusion-icon' program. it makes controlling compiz a lot easier. [13:59] icedwater, better. because your router might be referring to other nameservers [13:59] Blodskur you can add extened partition and add a var if you like.. but generally, just root and home and swap are fine for most [13:59] gaveen: Commented out the 192.* address and restarted networking. Still no change. [13:59] Bierwagen: you said you want to boot from it right? [13:59] Thanks, that's great. [13:59] phw: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/3215/ has a tip [13:59] icedwater, not networking NetworkManager :) [13:59] Cheers Dr_Willis and Jack_Sparrow.

[14:00] fr0de: ah that was what i was looking for - so a headless install is no big problem right? === mepis_user is now known as mepis_user_55 [14:01] I recently purchased a used computer with ubuntu installed, but it also has a password to the administration - I can't download or update anything without it [14:01] any ideas on how to reset it? [14:01] because it even doesnt have a serial port [14:01] phw: I haven't done one, but it seems it's possible [14:01] wisusa: grab a new cd, reinstall it [14:01] wisusa: boot a live cd, and reset the password via chroot.. or use th recovery console feature and reset it with passwd [14:01] wisusa: i would also suggest doing a total reformat/reinstall also.. [14:02] wisusa: you have no idea whats been done to the box. [14:02] wisusa: Yeah, chroot should work. [14:02] is there a way to see an error report. I cannot connect to internet with my laptop... [14:02] how to change the title of the terminal in python? [14:02] ok, it didn't come with a cd, I'll have to purchase one [14:02] wisusa: free download. === mepis_user_55 is now known as cemunal [14:02] icedwater, not there what's up. any other indications? If you edited resolve.conf manually NetworkManager should be overwriting it. So make sure 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 are the name servers [14:02] FrEaKmAn_: what sort of problem is it? No web connection, or internet in general? [14:02] wisusa, Dr_Willis: Yeah, reinstall is best, there could be anything running on the machine [14:02] wisusa: You can download free of charge from www.ubuntu.com and burn to a cd [14:03] Dr_Willis, I'm not able to download anything right now [14:03] icedwater, no internet connection... [14:03] wisusa: or order one from shipit [14:03] Most linux mags at the stores also come with cd's :) [14:03] !shipit | wisusa [14:03] wisusa: shipit is a service that sends free Ubuntu and Kubuntu CDs. See http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and http://shipit.kubuntu.org - Shipit will send Jaunty (9.04) CDs [14:05] !shipit [14:05] how do I change the terminal title in bash script? [14:05] wisusa: shipit takes a while though [14:05] I having some serious problems installing vmware workstation in jaunty, I have tried the patches but none seem to work has anyone been successful installing vmware workstation in jaunty? [14:05] hello to all.. [14:05] but when i install fusion-icon, compiz doesnt get started by default when i relog [14:05] alienkid10: you mean ps1? [14:05] what should i install to AMR files in ubuntu? [14:05] gaveen: I shifted them to the top of resolv.conf [14:05] alienkid10: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1111038 [14:05] pepperjack: unsure. I think it's bash but it's whatever ubuntu's default is. [14:05] icedwater, resolve.conf shall be overwritten by NM. Anyway can you try an IP and see if you can access with that [14:05] alienkid10: basically export PS1='something' [14:05] can you tell me also how to get "archive manager"? or does it come with the cd? as I can't currently open .bin files either - any ideas? [14:06] icedwater, Eg: ping 74.125.45.100 [14:06] !zip [14:06] Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME), Ark (KDE), or Xarchiver (XFCE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [14:06] wisusa: .bin means very little.. [14:06] thank you to Dr_Willis, ubbutu & pepperjack [14:06] wisusa and opening a binary file? [14:06] wisusa: What IS this .bin supposed to be? many are self installing executables.. [14:06] alienkid10: or do you mean the message that comes up when you login to cli? [14:08] no [14:08] ok [14:08] the title of the window header/tab [14:08] gaveen: With an IP it says network is unreachable. [14:08] wisusa: could be a shell script, run 'file yourinstallfile.bin' [14:08] is there radio tools in ubuntu? [14:08] pepperjack: can I IM you? [14:08] zhoujingrui: internet radio [14:08] zhoujingrui: clarify what you mean [14:08] FrEaKmAn_: do you have your ethernet connections set up properly? [14:08] flintwingel, netcat works with a single file only? cat FOLDER | nc -l 333 does not work [14:08] how to indtall? [14:08] alienkid10: i wont be of much help with that im not too familiar with gnome terminal [14:08] flintwingel, where FOLDER is 30 GB [14:08] icedwater, then it's a network connectivity problem, not name resolving [14:08] ah [14:08] what is the difference between envyng core and envyng gt, which one sould i prefer to install ATI driver ? [14:08] zhoujingrui: streamtuner is one app there are many though that are a little more polished [14:08] erdem810: gt- is the gui - you want both :) [14:08] Hmm. It did occur to me. But I'm not sure what to try now. [14:08] icedwater, check your network connection and routers outbound connection [14:08] tahnks :) [14:08] again [14:08] if i connect my usb-stick with the port [14:08] the usb LEDs are shining [14:08] My router's outbound connection in general is fine. [14:08] icedwater, yup. I have dual-boot - XP. Everything works there, but not in ubuntu, neither in live cd... Im just checking some fixes on ubuntu forum [14:08] but nothing else happends [14:08] Google Earth is flickering, I have a suspicion that no graphics drivers are installed, where do I get proper drivers ? (radeon 9600 mobile, ubuntu 8.04) [14:08] http://rafb.net/p/6miiWz16.html [14:08] does anyone know how to via scripting(python or just from the terminal) to change the title of the terminal tab/header display name [14:08] That's how I'm online now. [14:08] I think the program is not self-executing [14:08] system couldn't find archive manager to open [14:08] alienkid10: from a xterminal? thats done via escape codes [14:09] !touchscreen [14:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about touchscreen [14:09] from GNOME termianl [14:09] wisusa: what IS the .bin progrm? [14:09] !evtouch [14:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about evtouch [14:09] wisusa What is the file you are trying to install or open [14:09] I have a Dell 1545, with a Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X4500HD integrated video. In vista the video performance is great..but in ubuntu 9.04 32 bit it is severely degraded. Can i get some help fixing this? [14:09] hi [14:09] streamtuner [14:09] alienkid10: Terminal (menu) -> Set Name [14:09] gaveen: How might I check my outbound connection as seen by the other box? [14:09] ? [14:09] how to get rid of the black box in usplash themes [14:09] anyway to do it via script [14:09] alienkid10: Terminal (menu) -> Set Title [14:09] anyway to do it via scripting [14:09] alienkid10: in a script? hmm... no [14:09] dang [14:10] alienkid10: google for 'change xterm title' -> first hit.. shoiws it un several languages.. including python [14:10] alienkid10: it might be possible, but I dunno.. :) [14:10] oh wait..thats in perl. Not pytohn. ;) [14:10] brb [14:10] alienkid10: i think that is in the gconf database if youre talking about gnome terminal. [14:10] icedwater, if you are using that router to talk in this channel right now, your Net connectivity is fine. :) Check your LAN connection from the ubuntu box to the router [14:13] Oh, hmm.. ok, I think it might be the changes I made to /etc/network/interfaces [14:13] hello boys. I would like to know what is the driver ubuntu uses for touchscreens....why is it autocalibrated? how Ubuntu can autocalibrate it? [14:13] k thanks anyway [14:13] there are some easy ways to do it with urxvt [14:13] alienkid10: personally id rather install the xfce terminal. stupid windows 'registry' type gnome configs [14:13] and urxvt also does transparency, and is very lightweight [14:13] hi, does firefox work without libgtk ? [14:13] Is the gateway field necessary in a static stanza for /etc/network/interfaces? [14:13] http://pastebin.com/meecfdc7 [14:13] Hello there [14:13] hello boys.

In XP i can solve this problem with ik8fan software by running the fan in reduced constan speed. A Dell technician was here to replace mainboard and fan by new ones- didnt solve the problem.

[14:13] Google Earth is flickering, I have a suspicion that no graphics drivers are installed, where do I get proper drivers ? (radeon 9600 mobile, ubuntu 8.04) [14:13] icedwater, yes, it sets the default gateway [14:13] you can use your routers i there [14:13] Which should be my router's IP.

To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [14:13] I should probably recheck the man page [14:13] Dr_Willis, yes it says that it's fine ,but google earth is still flickering [14:13] 9600mobile would use radeon FOSS drivers, not fglrx in 9.04 [14:13] which would already be installed [14:13] are there guys listenning radio [14:13] ATI removed support for 9600mobile afaik in the FGLRX versions that work with 9.04's xorg version === root is now known as Guest49449 [14:16] zhoujingrui: here is your google search: site:ubuntuforums.org internet radio :-) [14:16] ho, my firefox is acting EXTREMELY SLOW.

[14:17] i'll try to find it.. ios it installed by default or from repos? [14:17] Bierwagen format the usb stick and start over [14:17] gaveen: Restarted the machine, I think that should cover it :P [14:17] johnP, it's there by default [14:17] In windows XP we have to stop USB device before unplug. Do I need to stop USB device in Ubuntu 7.04 also before unplug. [14:17] redpearl: kdirstat is handy i use the win32 clone of it at work [14:17] johnP nautilus is installed by default, thunar is in our repos [14:19] n0yd, I have the fglrx installed, how can I switch to the FOSS ? [14:19] Ajit yes, unmount them [14:19] jack_sparrow, how can i format it?

You can change it's preferences to look more likde explorere (eg: tree view, etc.) [14:19] icedwater, that should do :) [14:19] yeah im just seeing thios.. i dont avtuially open nautlis but i open the homefolder [14:19] Still no access, though. [14:19] Is somebody knows where to set up a proxy in the x-chat gnome interface please? [14:19] icedwater, icedwater, newer version if Ubuntu and Fedora are using NetworkManger to manage network interfaces, etc. So better to use that to configure your connection. Some config files get overwritten by NM [14:20] Jack_Sparrow: my USB device id is something ttyUSB0 so what would be it's command to unmount it. [14:20] Blake_, Settings, Network Settings [14:20] Blake_, Settings, Preferences, Network setup [14:20] pepperjack, you use it to clone win32? [14:20] icedwater, right click on the network applet and choose to edit [14:20] Hmm, OK gaveen. How do I do that over the console? My monitor is borked, which is why I use SSH [14:20] Hello. When I mount a remote machine through (Gnome panel) Places -> Connect to Server -> Service type: SSH. (SSHD). Where is the remote machine mounted? mount and df show nothing. [14:20] Hi everybody, this pertains to 9.04. My home directory is an nfs mount and it's defined in fstab. When booting up, it doesn't mount any of the nfs mounts (more than just /home). When I login (to a text terminal), I see it starting portmap and mounting the nfs mounts. [14:20] Ajit generally, right click the icon and select unlount [14:20] redpearl: mdirstat a win32 version of it [14:22] it is sush a different world im a windows user when i try to use unbunyu i feel like im underwater [14:22] znh> i dont have that network setting :/ i think i my gui is too minimalist, ok ty [14:22] eirikb: look in ~/.gvfs/* [14:22] pepperjack, ic [14:22] johnP You were not comfortable with windows your first week either [14:22] who was the guy with the crappy performance with a intel gfx adapter? [14:22] Jack_Sparrow: where can I see it's icon? [14:22] erUSUL: Ah! Thank you so much [14:22] as long as I login in text mode first, everything is alright, but if I login on the gui first, it doesn't do things in order (that I can tell), and the /home (and other nfs mounts) never get loaded. Is this something common? Easy to fix? [14:22] eirikb: no problem [14:22] I'm used to the RH style where all of the nfs mounts are done during boot init scripts, rather than on demand. [14:22] Ajit on your desktop or in nautilus [14:22] Eh, nevermind he left [14:22] Can someone help me out with the x11vnc installation? http://rafb.net/p/49hZC730.html [14:22] How does Ubuntu Server compare to Windows Home Server? [14:22] icedwater, you can try to do an ssh -X and then run nm-connection-editor [14:22] hi folks - ive got a box that has 2 nics on it - -i neglected to mark them when i moved it -- is there a way to make ubuntu tell me which is which? [14:23] bkovacs We try to avoid those sorts of comapriaons in support.. #ubuntu-offtopic is more the place for opinions and views [14:23] cannonball, thats an odd behaviour, nfs mounts should be mounted before login [14:23] where do I clear private data in firefox? the thing is so slow, I can't reach it in firefox itself [14:23] henriquelm, is there any reason you're compiling it from sources? [14:23] commenting out two nameservers did not help :/ === bluepencil is now known as bluegoon [14:23] Connection refused, gaveen - I've tried -X for other things a few times. [14:24] yeah you are right me and windows grew up from dos5 so itys so ingrained into me its like a second skin.. thats where the problem is.. its why linux seems so forien. [14:24] forceflow, where do I clear provate data on firefox? [14:24] usser, to run a newer version [14:24] Anyway, nm-tool suggests my wired card is unmanaged. [14:24] W8TAH, look into /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [14:24] johnP http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download_main.html [14:24] Who have written the notify-osd must be shot [14:24] I seem to have the proper display drivers but google earth is still flickering [14:25] henriquelm, which version is that. the one in the repos is 0.9.3 [14:25] thanks.. i need it. [14:25] np [14:26] !training > johnP [14:26] johnP, please see my private message [14:26] usser: thankyou [14:26] Anyone, is there a ncurses version of network-manager? :P [14:26] icedwater, hah [14:26] sluimers: Are you haveing trouble resolving domain names? [14:27] usr13, no, I have trouble getting firefox to work [14:27] sluimers: To find out, issue command: host av.com [14:27] hi people! [14:27] xI will see it if i can find it in xchat.. er... im used to mirc. [14:27] firefox is extremely slow at the moment [14:27] hello boys. I would like to know what is the driver ubuntu uses for touchscreens....why is it autocalibrated? how Ubuntu can autocalibrate it? [14:27] usser, I'm trying to compile version 0.9.7 [14:27] how to switch from a user using sudo to another user, but preserving all env variables, etc?? [14:27] sluimers: So you know for a fact that you are resolving domain names ok? [14:30] henriquelm, oh. well sudo apt-get build-dep x11vnc should fetch all the dependencies needed for compiling [14:30] as far as I recall, it was smth like "sudo -? user" [14:30] av.com has address 206.190.60.37 [14:30] but not sure what the ? was )) [14:30] av.com has address 68.180.206.184 [14:30] usser: i need to make sure i have cables connected right -- one is a sniffer interface for snort -- the other is the communications interface -- can i like make it blink the lights or something [14:30] progre55 -i or -u [14:30] opera works fine usr13 [14:30] progre55: how about sudo su - user? [14:30] icedwater bad idea [14:30] henriquelm, don't delete the source after've done make install. put it in /usr/src === YaManicKill|away is now known as YaManicKill [14:30] Jack_Sparrow, icedwater, thanks, I'll try both ) [14:30] I've seen it before, but I'm not sure what it does [14:30] sluimers: WHat version of Firefox is it? [14:30] progre55: wait on mine [14:30] Jack_Sparrow: why is it a bad idea? [14:30] icedwater :) okay )) [14:30] 3.0 [14:30] Jack_Sparrow, yes, why? :) [14:30] icedwater sudo su is never a good idea [14:30] Yes, but why is it a bad idea? [14:30] See i have read some of the dosc, but the terminology is so different, if i get lost in the help docs i give up and then rely on real people.. humans can explain things in ways docs cant.. [14:30] 3.0.10 [14:30] johnP: true, though docs are written by humans.:) [14:30] W8TAH, connect the cable to one of the interfaces to the real network, see which one shows up with a real ip in ifconfig [14:30] icedwater Sudo SU: Instead of Sudo SU... Please use sudo -i it properly sets up the environment variable in the resulting shell [14:30] progre55, su -m username ? [14:30] sluimers: 74.125.67.100 [14:30] Perhaps you could write down what you've learned if you think it helps others? [14:30] How can I print the output of curl with zenity? [14:30] sluimers: See if 74.125.67.100 comes up fast enough to suit you. [14:30] what about 74.125.67.100? [14:30] ok -thanks [14:31] you mean on firefox? [14:31] gaveen: Still no luck, man, I don't know what to do now. [14:31] usr13, you mean on firefox? [14:31] sluimers: Yes [14:31] gaveen, thanks :) Jack_Sparrow, so, will "sudo -m username" do? :) [14:31] usr13, everything on firefox is runing slow [14:31] icedwater, are you sure your ubuntu box has connectivity to the router [14:31] o.k. point is i cant talk to a doc and say, hey Help File Doc. i dont understand that, could you8 please try it again? [14:31] usr13, it takes two minutes just to load! [14:31] progre55 never used -m [14:32] usr13, it takes a minute to press a button [14:32] sluimers: Close firefox, open a terminal and type firefox [14:32] I'm logging in to it fine over SSH, gaveen [14:35] It just doesn't go out. [14:35] usser, I figure that I was missing the xorg-dev package, It might work now [14:35] progre55, -m is for su not for sudo :) [14:35] sluimers: Use firefox to surf to a few pages and see what output from terminal says about it. [14:35] icedwater, the router? [14:35] gaveen, oh, okay ) [14:35] usser: got it - thaks [14:35] first thing i did last night whebn i uinstalled unbuntu was find an irc client.; LOL i knew i'd need the live help/ [14:35] gaveen: Nope, both the ubuntu box and my current terminal are behind the same router on a home network. [14:35] How can I save the output of curl in a shell script? [14:35] johnP: Good idea. [14:35] can you ping the router from your ubuntu box [14:35] usr13, DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Could not open network socket [14:35] TheLinx: try man curl? There should be some sort of dump option. [14:35] gaveen: It's going fine. [14:35] icedwater: I mean save what the program outputs to a variable [14:36] if a server does not have a graphics card - does it still run a console i could use "blind"? [14:36] TheLinx So this is for a script? [14:36] usr13, in my system monitor I have something called DCOP Foxytunes running [14:36] Jack_Sparrow: Yes. [14:36] TheLinx: with that much output, I guess you might want to put it into a file first.. [14:36] TheLinx try /join #bash or whatever [14:36] usr13, and I know one of my ad-ons is foxytunes [14:36] icedwater, so let's try a traceroute 74.125.67.100 [14:36] Jack_Sparrow: Thanks, I'll ask there. [14:36] np [14:36] sluimers: Turn off the plugins and see how it goes. Maybe one of them or some of them are slowing it down. [14:36] I'm a PHP developer but my local test enviorment has always been Windows. I'd like to get an actual linux dev enviornment up and running. I just installed ubuntu 9 and lamp. Now I'm sitting here with some questions. Can anybody help me out real quick? [14:36] I'm uninstalling Foxytunes right now as we speak [14:36] angelleye apache has a channel that may be of more help [14:36] gaveen: That's odd, it is going out somewhere. [14:36] Jack: thanks i'll check that out [14:38] O.k. im looking throughtthe home folder thinking im gonna see the root drive so i can check its size usage.. but im not seeing anythibng like C [14:38] !lamp [14:38] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [14:38] usser, ok, I compiled it, it works [14:38] usser, thanks [14:38] usr13, wow thanks usr13 !! [14:38] NP [14:38] henriquelm, no problem [14:38] icedwater, at least there's some progress :) [14:38] Dunno, I'm testing the same traceroute on my current box just to compare. [14:38] Hello, I just restarted for the first time after upgrading to 9.04 and I got an error which forced me to start in low graphics mode. Can anyone help me? === usser is now known as surfin_bird [15:07] yes [15:07] icedwater, so not dns still for the ubuntu box? [15:07] yes I am, Ubuntu 8.04 to be exact, and the disks are IDE [15:07] so0ky: did you note the 'boot time' options suggested earlier? [15:07] johnP df -h if you didnt get that already [15:07] brandon_, it is recommended that you keep your /var/www root owned, you can add your user to www group though [15:07] brandon__: Maybe create a 'website' subdirectory in your home directory [15:07] can you repeat the boot time options? [15:07] I apologize, i missed them [15:07] How do I use alltray? [15:07] so0ky To get live cd to show your missing hard drive this often helps..At start or install press F6 and add all_generic_ide before the "--" [15:07] brandon_, www or httpd i dont remember what the apache group is called on ubuntu [15:07] oh [15:07] OK, I just restarted for the first time after upgrading from Ubuntu 8.1 to 9.04. When I did, Ubuntu displayed an error and I had to start in low-graphics mode. My video card is a nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce Go 6600] [15:07] Then symlink the /var/www to the one in your home folder? [15:07] O.k. i still have 9 gigs left so its not bottlenecking at the disk space [15:07] brandon__: www-data is the user [15:07] elad`: install it.. run it.. click on a window.. not toooo hard to figure out [15:07] Pici: right now user is root.. i can change the whole folder with chown, im just wondering if i should do that [15:07] gaveen: Yeah, still no DNS on the Jaunty box. [15:07] okay thanks for that. are there any other commands that you suggest? [15:07] Dr_Willis, I just figured it would somehow incorporate itself into gnome. [15:07] My working connection is off Eeebuntu Intrepid :) [15:07] hey peeps... wondering how i can tell evolution that my trash folder on my imap server is called "deleted items", not "trash" ... anyone? [15:07] so0ky At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off apm=off before the "--" [15:07] daybreak69: hi [15:07] daybreak69: u solved ur issue? [15:07] hi [15:08] icedwater, cool. :) anyway the th thing is if you edit the resolve.conf manually it'll get overwritten by NM. [15:08] can anyone tell me where to look for when i can connect through ssh to my root srv, but if i use svn over https it tells me that svn wasn able to establish an connection? [15:08] I trust that it will be - but it isn't getting overwritten each time I restart NM or the box [15:08] can someone tell me, I have just got a new webserver (with SSH access) and I was wondering how I go about testing it? if anyone has a second could they take me through it in a pm? I am pretty new to all of this... [15:08] How id fglrx different than the regular ATI drivers? [15:09] do you think all of those commands should get Ubuntu to see the drives? [15:09] icedwater, you should be able to get a ssh session with X forwarding using (-X or -Y) and run nm-connection-editor. Or since your monitor is not going to work anytime soon [15:09] testing the SSH I mean :) [15:09] Kingsy101: no pm, but i'll tell you this - svn can use 3 methods for access: file, the svnserve daemon, and http(s) ... when ssh-ing, you're probably using file:// [15:09] Nevermind my card wont support it [15:09] so0ky Just try the first one I gave then all [15:09] johnP: good question [15:09] icedwater, you can perhaps install a vnc server in the jaunty box to get a remote gui [15:09] okay i shall do that. does a live cd have an IRC client? [15:09] so0ky yes.. pidgin [15:09] Kingsy101: my guess is that you haven't set up apache's mod_dav_svn module [15:09] hmmm that leaves me behind a little, like I said I am new to this... [15:09] okay, thank you so much for your time. Have a nice day. [15:09] heh probably... [15:09] so0ky but you can quickly add xchat or other [15:09] yeah pidgin sucks for irc [15:09] is there an irc plugin which makes it easy to use pidgin to connect? [15:09] gaveen: Hmm, strangely enough, the same complaints are up using ssh -Y [15:09] icedwater, what's the error? [15:09] can someone give me a hand with .htaccess [15:09] But nm-connection-editor starts where firefox etc crashed on -X [15:09] I installed GoogleEarth 4.3 from the medubuntu repository and I seem to have the proper display driver but GoogleEarth is flickering a lot (unusable that way) [15:09] im installing a phpbb portal and its asking me to edit my .htaccess but my .htaccess is empty... [15:09] what should i do?? [15:09] asin all the things that should be in .htaccess are in aother file httpd.conf i think [15:09] Hi, I installed Ubuntu as a dual boot with Windows Vista, but my Linux partition is way too small... is there anyway to resize the partitions [15:09] without [15:09] lenswipe: are you putting this phpbb on hte internet? [15:09] losing data [15:09] gaveen: Failed to get connection to session: ..... etc [15:09] O.k. i searched for and downloaded the exact libux driver for my model ati card.;. but its a run file.. that page dont say how to load a run file.. how do i do it? [15:09] It's a GConf complaint. [15:09] klync: yes... [15:09] klync: its already on the internet http://freshupforums.servebbs.com [15:09] Anyhow, I've got the dialog drawn out [15:09] There's no entry on the Wired tab, strangely. [15:09] phlexonance turn off compiz and see if it stops [15:09] icedwater, you can add a new connection with DNS, etc. setting to the wired section [15:09] Ugh, it worked fine on wireless [15:09] I can't add [15:09] how do i reconfigure alsa ? [15:09] so anyone in here got some spare time to explain this in a pm? (just cos its easier to have a convo) [15:09] johnP: stop X with 'sudo service gdm stop' run the run file with 'sudo sh ./whatever.run' normally.. good LUCK getting it to work. [15:09] Oh, now I can, hold on. [15:09] johnP: backup your existing xorg.conf file first. so you can restore it later === oobe is now known as menotoobe [15:09] icedwater, after you save the connection, you need to restart the NetworkManager [15:09] I take it X is the driver currently uinstalled? [15:09] johnP: you really should try the drivers in the 'System -> admin-> hardware drivers' area first === menotoobe is now known as oobe [15:09] johnP: X uses the drivers. :) [15:09] Yes i have tried those first.. thats where i think im haviong problems. [15:09] gaveen: It's not working [15:09] hello all [15:09] is this the ubuntu linux help channel [15:09] It claims nm-connection-editor has found Invalid IPv4 settings. [15:09] MaxTesla: Yep :) [15:09] ok [15:09] johnP: ati has been removing drivers from their 'offical' drivers for cards that are older, and have open/GPL drivers allready. some of those open drivers are not that good at this time. [15:09] someone please tell me how to install the Readeonhd open source drivers please [15:09] MaxTesla: thats what the topic says :) [15:10] icedwater, can you set IPv4 setting from there? [15:10] An employee in the company cant access her Tasks, she states that the task options are transparent.. any ideas?

[15:10] How do I install this http://wiki.x.org/wiki/radeonhd [15:10] crucial_Thread: Please mate, thanks. [15:10] O.k. before i try this.. heres the problem. After i installed the ati drivers last night from the hardware driver install tool, my display properties bpox wont load up so i can change the settings.. is there anything else that could cause this beside an incorrect sdriver? [15:10] MaxTesla, See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonHD [15:11] ok gaveen will look at it now [15:11] i copied /home/john folder from machineA to machineB. on machine B, should i use adduser or useradd to add john to my system? [15:11] john, which ati card .. again.. sorry [15:11] johnP: sounds exactly like a driver issue to me. [15:11] ok am logging now from chat, thanks for the help === modderx_ is now known as modderx [15:11] Nope-I'm trying to set a manual address though === lipsinV2__ is now known as lipsinV2 [15:11] i have an ATI 2600 HD Pro with 512 MB ram [15:11] Which happens to be the same one I'm using to SSH [15:11] Is there a clash? Policykit is complaining. [15:11] ty [15:11] redpearl: adduser... from the man page odf useradd i quote « seradd is a low level utility for adding users. On Debian, administrators should usually use adduser(8) instead. » [15:11] redpearl:depends,did you just copy the above to a machineB for backup purposes or you did want to transfer your system,explain you intentions please? [15:11] hi. is there any beater program like vnc to connect to remote desktop? becouse this remote program in ubuntu is like not working so good :P [15:11] redpearl, you can use either adduser is usually an alias to to useradd [15:11] Power Management in 9.04 fails to turn the monitor to power save mode. It just blacks out the screen, any fix for this? short web search has reviled nothing [15:11] redpearl, oh,.. erUSUL has already answered better [15:11] redpearl: also keep in mind that there is no guaraties that the two jhon users will get the same uid guid on the two systems so you will have to use chown anyway [15:11] Is there a safe way to give my ubuntu partition more space? [15:11] nmvictor, machineA crashed. copied /home/john to machine B's /home. it looks like the low level 'useradd' is right for me [15:11] Jinxed553: gparted resize is supposed to be quite safe [15:11] icedwater, what's the progress now? [15:12] redpearl: you seem to know better. dunno why you came here to ask [15:12] Jinxed553 do you have free space on your drive [15:12] erUSUL, chown will not be a prob [15:12] redpearl: if you are going to do what yo want anyway [15:12] erUSUL, ask to be safe than sorry =). but i will copied /home/john twice, if it should fail [15:12] redpearl: ok,go ahead. [15:12] so i still have back up [15:12] Does this news URL bomb anybody else's firefox? http://www.infoworld.com/t/regulation/share-file-lose-your-laptop-387 [15:12] gaveen: Still no luck creating a connection.

Can anyone help me out here? [15:12] CaneToad works for me here [15:12] wait, yes it does bomb it [15:12] but only after i turned off adblocker [15:12] its probably some flash advert misbehaving [15:12] hi.

[15:15] mluser-work: just guessing, but newer than ubuntu, you probably want to grab it (src? pkg?) straight from eclipse's site and install by hand (personally, i'd install it as a non-privileged user if it wasn't from a repo) [15:16] carpii: sounds like a javascript matter??? [15:16] Does anyone know what the developement channel of ubuntu is? I thought it was #ubuntu-1 but it isn't... [15:16] Jinxed553 Be aware that changing partition sizes will change the uuid and cause issues [15:16] why does /etc/init.d/networking no longer work? is /etc/init.d/NetworkManager now required?

Can anyone help me out here?

[15:19] Quick question: I installed Ubuntu 9.04 using the Wubi app (inside Windows), so Ubuntu uses a virtual disk as its "partition". According to System Monitor, the physical hard drive is availible at /host. Can I safely mount it manually? [15:19] Pafs321 It only allows you to use 3.3. the desktop kernel does use the rest. You can see all 4 when runig the server kernel, but it wont be any faster [15:19] i plugged in my printer .. it said to install plaugin.. i installed the plugin too... i also have hplip installed......... but my "hplaserjet1020" is not printing.. just standing still .......... but a message appears in top right corner that the docu has finished printing :P ... how to make it print ?

[15:40] I didn't mean like that :) [15:42] Well, my wifi led isn't working [15:42] And neither is compiz :( [15:42] RoBRuLeZ: what type of wireless card, and compiz will not work unless you have accelerated graphics [15:42] Great_Anta_Baka:i think /dev/usb0 or /dev/usb1 [15:43] Well first the wireless card is the troublesome intel pro 3945abg [15:43] Great_Anta_Baka: If it recognises as a mass storage device, usually something like another hard drive (sdc sdc sde or so on). Sometimes more rarely as device name like mmc0 or such. After plugging it in, might be useful to look at result of: dmesg | tail since it will usually say [15:43] ciao [15:43] Great_Anta_Baka: dmesg will usually tell you. [15:43] so ubuntu sees internet and 2 routers. but when i stick hub at end ubuntu cant see net or other routers.. should router be plugged in 1st port in hub, last? [15:44] anyone know how to get an nvidia GeForce 285 going in ubu 9.04? [15:44] trying to navigate to a smb server. Tried Places, Network, clicked Windows Network, then MSHOME (the servers group), but it tells me unable to mount location without giving me the chance to login. What am I missing?

Can anyone help me with a script to remove every wmv that has a duplicate named avi? As in remove if I have foo.wmv foo.avi bar.wmv, it'd only remove foo.wmv.

[15:47] genii: sorry, how do I do that? [15:47] bobbob1016: I'm not much on bash but this is close. for avi in *.avi; do if [ -e ${avi%.avi}.wmv ]; then echo "rm ${avi%.avi}.wmv"; fi; done [15:48] hey guys, is there anybody who ever tried Backtrack linux? [15:49] genii: ifconfig [15:50] hi [15:50] janedoe__: I don't normally use the gui network manager, so I cannot guide you through that way. Normally I alter manually the /etc/network/interfaces file. Did you specify some static IP for the box, or does it get dhcp from someplace? [15:50] RoBRuLeZ: also look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=387356 [15:50] Hey guys, I'm running ubuntu 9.04 on my toshiba laptop, have an ATI graphics card and quite often the screen "flicks" and "jumps" especially when there's a lot changing on the screen, e.g. terminal open with stuff streaming up, and web pages pages with video, any ideas why it's doing it? It doesn't jump like this in winblows [15:50] RoBRuLez: Intel seems to be late to the game this time with Linux for some reason, between wireless issues and the Video drives, Intel needs to step it up.. good luck [15:50] silvano|: hi [15:50] it's an ATI RS690M (Radeon X1200) according to lspic [15:50] Yeah, no kidding, there seems to be alot of issues [15:50] Ok, I'm trying to install madwifi for my atheros wifi card, when i type the make command it says "/bin/sh: cc: not found", "Makefile.inc:81: *** Cannot detect kernel version - please check compiler and KERNELPATH. Stop." im running gOS which I think is based on Ubuntu, any ideas? [15:52] well, no, we want intel to step it up. linux driver support isn't exactly critical to their business model or anything [15:52] Hey guys, I'm having a little trouble with an ubuntu box in house. I ssh into it and when I 'ls' on a large directory, internet drops on the box and i lose my ssh connection. I ran wireshark and I'm not sure how to decipher what's going on other than an assumption that the request is flooding the network. Anyone else have any ideas? [15:52] I can only regain internet connectivity by rebooting the machine [15:52] I've tried restarting the network with 'sudo /etc/init.d/network restart' but it doesn't ever pick up. Just times out... [15:52] does anybody know how to fix this - the auto eth2 (the second interface for the local LAN) cant be seen in the network configuration [15:52] mouseclone: Is nvidia better in that respect?

[16:35] you should stick with the version ubuntu is providing [16:35] unless you are comfortable with compiling from scratch [16:35] Hello, i am using aMSN and i cannot receive webcam images. Is there anyway to fix that? [16:36] but if you were you wouldn't be asking that question :) [16:36] essial_: not really lol, ok ill stick with this version, the bloody schedualing isnt working though! [16:36] yeah thats the fun part about OSS [16:37] bluegoon: you CAN apt-get remove transmission, then download and try to compile the source [16:37] nah its good man, no worries [16:37] i think i got vue to work. [16:37] bluegoon: have you considered deluge or qtorrent or ktorrent? [16:37] Installed gbackground from synaptic This program not in english is there an english version [16:37] personally i use utorrent+wine [16:37] pepperjack: ill check them out!

[16:38] Well I can use the advanced desktop effects but when I use the compiz manager, nothing happens like the advanced features and what not [16:38] bluegoon: Unix doesn't support the "hidden" attribute in FAT/NTFS. [16:38] bluegoon: well if you ever wanted to get a newer version than ubuntu gives by default, check out http://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=5604 [16:38] bluegoon: should [16:38] Thanks alot guys :) [16:38] bluegoon: In Unix-like OSes, a file or folder is hidden if it starts with a dot - for example, .bashrc [16:38] grawity: I never liked that design personally [16:38] i find it a bit hackish [16:38] for the most advances desktop effects, use dwm [16:41] Just worried because im pretty sure its got a damn virus on it. [16:41] bluegoon: for example if in a terminal you do a ls -a in home youll see all your hidden config files [16:41] well [16:41] theres a 0.01% chance that virus would mess with your ubuntu box [16:41] lol, im worried about my windows at home! :) [16:41] bluegoon: you might be able to get that virus working in wine but its iffy ;p [16:41] RoBRuLeZ: you have to enable them first,do you have simple compiz configuration settings manager installed?

[16:41] bluegoon: and instead use the winehq repository to ge tthe latest wine [16:42] ah ok [16:42] essial_: the correct figure should be 0.0% i think [16:42] i played eve on wine for a long time [16:42] eve has an official linux client, but only for old graphics [16:42] There was an error connecting to the database...

[16:42] EugenMayer: usually with a sip phone you have it setup using wifi and it just connects to your router then your linux box. i think [16:42] pepperjack: actually, i think about a softphone like ekiga, gizmo kphone etc [16:43] ! gbackground [16:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about gbackground [16:43] but ekiga seems only to work with the ekiga gateway, but i want to use my ISP ones [16:45] Can you reset compiz settings to default from the command line?

[18:16] vertix: and what was the core issue? i forget now. [18:16] I am fairly certain "gksudo gedit ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager" edits a file in /home/you as root.

[18:16] * mzz rephrases harder [18:16] fiskas82: delete that, then save and close [18:16] ehs: that is to say you did a 'wubi' install then. I dont use wubi but i thought the installer asked for a initial user and password. [18:16] i was able to rebuild initrd from live cd [18:16] the file fiskas82 is interested in really should be in his/her homedir. not in /root. [18:16] fiskas82: are u trying to uninstall compiz? [18:17] mzz: thats why i told him not to use gksudo [18:17] pepperjack: exactly [18:17] also drives are swapping, so the whole thing is kinda crazy [18:17] dayo: no I just wanted to undo that command [18:17] join #ubuntu-de [18:17] Piet, you think PowerPC, even though it is an intel Mac?

[18:19] hey, ubuntu look pretty good. they've made some progress in last couple of years, but it is still a bit clunky in terms of user interface on quite a few programs, plus documentation is obviously not upto snuff, but what to do?

Just ask for what you want === enissay_ is now known as enissay [18:19] dayo: I tried this from command line gksudo gedit ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager [18:19] i cant install off the cd, i click on cd and it frezzes, but i can heir the cd runing [18:20] Matterco: actualyl this is more up to date: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [18:20] Dr_Willis: if i comment it again and try again, it still works... so... cache? who knows, thank you anyway :D [18:20] dayo: and there was only one line [18:20] dr_willis: i probably should have taken note of the login details.. 'll just install again :S ... tat should work ok right? [18:20] i cant install off the cd, i click on install and it frezzes, but i can heir the cd runing === enissay is now known as Enissay [18:20] btw, if anybody wants to know how to rebuild initrd from livecd, i can dig it up [18:20] dayo: and I removed that [18:20] vertix: file bugs, where possible with patches, presumably [18:20] fiskas82: what line was that? [18:20] skip check yes [18:20] fiskas82: awesome. that's it, then [18:20] dayo: thanx [18:20] Hello. Could you help me : http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2643231#p2643231 ?? [18:20] fiskas82: u're welcome [18:20] ehs: i nevr use wubi.. so no idea how it installs 'over' itself.. [18:21] pepperjack: thanx, that command line was very easy [18:21] anyone got any ideas for my problem? [18:21] the icon of shut down disapear [18:21] * blizzkid thinks wubi is the worst thing ever in ubuntu tbh [18:21] mzz, i am sorry, but i have so much work to do that i don't have time to file bugs now. may be later on. but it is 8.10 problem only, hopefuly [18:21] anyone got any ideas for my problem? [18:21] anyone got any ideas for my problem? [18:21] blizzkid: A lot of people are of the same opinion [18:21] 8.04 [18:22] Has anyone heard of the jumping clicking mouse issue in jaunty? [18:22] !repeat | RAC_ [18:22] RAC_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [18:22] genii: I can imagine :) [18:22] fiskas82: the command `echo thisStuff >> /goes/in/this/fileHere` what that does is add 'thisStuff' to the of 'fileHere' if it exists. if 'fileHere' doesn't exist, it's created and 'thisStuff' is written to it. [18:22] mzz, i've spent nearly 2 weeks with this boot issue and i urgently need to backup my stuff because i was rooted under windows, so i can't use windows in forceable future, even if i clean it up [18:22] tryed them , [18:22] oops. too late. [18:22] I'm guessing no one gets much experience installing with wubi, once we're converted we tend to stay that way. [18:23] Hi... Can you run GParted from within Ubuntu and change the current partion size (I want to extend the size of my linux partition to use some of my unallocated disk space) [18:23] RAC_: a lazy suggestion would be to try the alternate isntall cd from ubuntu.com [18:23] HelloWorld: You can't modify active partitions [18:23] HelloWorld: yes and no [18:23] RAC_: it the the old original text based installer but is very easy. just as simple as the livecd [18:23] btw, thanx to all of you, who contributed their 2 cents to the issue [18:23] HelloWorld: like genii said :) [18:24] wpepperjack: was thinking about doin that , is it the same uduntu? [18:24] is Ubuntu likely to see/be able to read my NTFS storage drives if I bin windows? [18:24] and if someone in the mood to file bug report, i can get you all the info you need, logs and all that [18:24] HelloWorld: Better to boot to a livecd and do partitoning/resizing from there === elpargo__ is now known as elpargo [18:24] Can I make a live CD from withing ubuntu geni? [18:25] or a better question--- How would I [18:25] unop, When I try that I'm getting an error saying "find: missing argument to `exec`" [18:25] can someone tell me which FTP client I can use that has the ability to extract .tar.gz files remotely ? [18:26] bmorris, show me exactly what you have. [18:26] Actually I guess i will need to boot into windows make the live cd and then use it [18:26] HelloWorld: what's "geni"? [18:26] lol [18:26] bmorris: I think you need backslashes before the "{" and "}" [18:26] sorry [18:26] HelloWorld: download it and burn it? [18:26] RAC_: yes the end result is the same. it is handy for older machines that my not handle livecd very well or maybe xorg problems in livecd [18:26] I messed up /etc/passwd's permissions, what should it be by default? [18:26] Kingsy101: Thats Not typicially something that an FTP client can do. [18:26] jimcooncat: I don't have ennough free space to download it on my linux partition [18:26] Pici - oh ok [18:26] znh: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root [18:27] unop find ./ -name "afMigration-1[0-9].csv" -exec cp batch-1/ [18:27] bmorris: ah, nvm, I'm wrong. [18:27] wpepperjack: its not an old laptop 05, just cant boot from cd, im about to download the text baced now [18:27] bmorris, that's not what i suggested :) [18:27] znh: you should not be editing this file anyway, not directly. [18:27] bmorris, find ... -exec cp {} /to/somewhere \; [18:27] HelloWorld: why not just buy a cd with it then? [18:27] Dr_Willis, the core issue was that root partition was not getting mounted even though it was clean and in the right place. the kernel would start booting, but at the point where root partition was getting mounted it would give an error, i can dig it up exactly, and no matter what you do with grub, which was fine to begin with, you would not be able to mount the root partition [18:27] quit [18:28] oh there we go. Thanks a lot unop! [18:28] how to make wirelesss working in my ibm thinkpad t41 laptop? [18:29] how can i include debian repositories in jaunty? what is the repo address for that? [18:29] hi ... how could I see all the files contained in a package ? [18:29] wpepperjack: so its 6.06.1 could i update to the 9. one?

[18:31] i need help on wireless [18:31] How do i install install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz ? [18:31] please help me [18:31] Dr_Willis, after my experience with rootkit, and the fanciest one i can imagine, and i know what i am talking about, i'd stay from anything even remotely related to windows for as long as i have this box. Those suckers modified my partition table and made themselves some space betwen partitions and downloaded tons of viruses into that place, cause from what i see, they are working outside of operating system and doing things by directly acc [18:31] karol: do they play withought noise... or not play at all? [18:32] Can someone please help me fix my mouse on jaunty? It randomly jumps and clicks on screen [18:32] shrini_: according to http://www.geekster.org/index.php/2006/03/14/mandrake-92-on-ibm-t41/#WIRELESS you'll need ndiswrapper [18:32] !restricted > karol [18:32] karol, please see my private message [18:32] !flash [18:32] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [18:32] Piet: thanks. wiill look it [18:32] im geting the alternate ubuntu 6.06.1, hope its the same as the normal ubuntu 9. [18:33] karol, run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras, then try [18:33] 32 [18:33] bit [18:33] vertix: hidden partition full-o-viruses eh? [18:33] thx [18:33] vertix: was it viewable via gparted? just curious as to what to look for if im ever trying tofix a friends machune [18:34] btw, does anybody know if ununtu rootkit detectors can detect rootkit on windows partitions? cause i'd think it would be next to impossible, cause you need to do live comparison of what system calls return and what is actually in the raw registry hive [18:34] does anyone know if an eeepc can be dual booted [18:34] Dr_Willis: things like that are pretty easy to spot if you're booted off a livecd, yes. [18:34] forensicwannabe: i dualboot my AcerSpireOne Just fine. [18:34] shrini_: ah, it actually depends on the hardware version, newer ones have atheros chipsets which are much better supported [18:34] mzz: yea iw as just wondering if there was a way to hide from gparted. [18:34] is using suber grub disc a safe way or restoring GRUB? [18:34] of restoring grub* [18:35] Dr_Willis: the problem is (depending on how thorough the thing is) they can be really hard to spot running from the infected system, because they can change operating system results before scanners see them. [18:35] Piet: how to find hardware version? [18:35] hi [18:35] Dr_Willis: I doubt it [18:35] Does it needs sudo permitted when install googleearth? [18:35] Hey there, does the current fglrx drivers in Ubuntu 9.04 support OpenGL 2.1 contexts? It lists 2.1 in glxinfo but some test application here only returns GL 1.5 contexts. [18:35] vertix: a scanner like that can find known rootkits (acting like a standard virus scanner, not like something like rootkitrevealer) [18:35] vertix: just slave the hard drive to another windows/linux machine and backup the files, reinstall windows. Best way to get rid of rootkits [18:35] DR_WILLIS:is suber grub disc sake? [18:35] Wanna help me debug a server problem. Okay two identical servers with separate hostnames. They both show their static IPs but I can only connect to one. If '/etc/init.d/networking restart' on one the other loses connection to the network (My ssh connections to it are disconnected and I can't reconnect and I can no longer wget google.com for instance). But the other one then is connected. If I go to the one that got disconnected it [18:35] basically swaps roles. Any diagnoses? Some kind of network issue maybe? DHCP thing? I'm clueless. [18:35] Dr_Willis, yep. i noticed that my partition tables had gaps, but i needed real operating system to start working with it. I did not reformat paritions, i just zipped humongous directories and that wiped out all free space, as good, as formatting drive. then i deleted anything even remotely related to rootkit locations including all executables and all dlls, then i filled that space from humongous zips [18:36] dr_willis:safe === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam [18:36] vertix: just be really sure you only zipped data, not executables, obviously [18:36] does somebody know how to make a package which install custom xkb symbol by force? [18:37] Sirisian|Work, what network topology do you have? Maybe it is some port forwarding issue on a router. [18:37] Sirisian|Work: Sounds like you have a prime example of a ip conflict [18:37] nvm they're both working again since I left... oh great unstableness [18:37] I'm running ubuntu server and every user sees "I have no name!" before the prompt, is it possible to remove that? [18:37] flashblind, that's what I thought but I've been told a few times the DNS and macnames are correct. [18:38] mzz, i'd like to know as much as you can tell me about this issue. cause my main development is on windows. my main program is written in java and it runs and compiles under windows/linux/unix, but linux development tools are not upto snuff, plus i need something that can access multiple nntp servers to update my databases with fresh articles, which is a trip. [18:38] Why did Ubuntu choose Transmission as its official bittorrent client rather than Deluge? [18:38] predaeus, well it works now. So maybe they are fighting for an IP or something. I'll check out the router settings. One moment === skvMaJ is now known as MaJ [18:38] Sirisian|Work: Dns doesn't use maccaddress [18:38] shrini_: i don't know. it is usually printed on a sticker on the bottom of the laptop. but what really matters is the parts contained in the laptop. You can determine them by starting the live cd, opening a terminal window and running 'lspci -v'. [18:39] predaeus, DHCP sorry. Is that the correct thing for static IPs? I don't handle it. Another part of the university does. [18:39] ok then bye .. see you later [18:39] predaeus, oh and there's no routers. They are connected to switches. [18:39] DHCP is exactly the opposite of what you want for a static IP. [18:39] Sirisian|Work, I think you meant flashblind [18:39] mzz, yep, that is the first thing i did and deleted executables and dlls on entire drives, so, even if i want to back something up, i simply can't, and i don't need that stuff, i have it fresh on cds [18:39] predaeus, ok [18:39] vertix: if at all possible I'd only rescue files that are obviously data (source code and other text files) from the infected system, because those are "inert" unless the editor you're opening them in is seriously buggy [18:39] shrini_: how to start a terminal is explained here: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/basic-commands/C/starting-terminal.html [18:39] vertix: I'd expect that to be pretty safe [18:39] ikonia: got it fixed by the way, I just upgraded the kernel to the next version, and it fixed the API mismatch =P [18:40] join #centos [18:40] Piet: i am working on ubuntu only [18:40] Sirisian|Work: It depends on weather or not the machines are exposed to the internet or just you companies rfc1918 Intranet [18:40] flashblind, just the intranet [18:40] Piet: lspci gives no info on wireless [18:40] vertix: would be nice to know how they got in to begin with so you can make sure that hole is closed, but I wouldn't trust anything executable left on the partition because the malware may have messed with it [18:40] common sense, really [18:40] Hello, I have been trying to connect to VPN from Jaunty, and it isn't working. It was working fine when I was in ArchLinux, any ideas why it wont connect. The log is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/172492/ [18:40] When I start Vbox and try to install a new VM, the background of my current desktop is the screen in the VBox window. I can't see what the VM is doing. Not sure how to explain that better. [18:40] vertix: you sound like you know what you're doing at least as much as I do tbh :) [18:40] Vertix you are ban evading please join #ubuntu-ops now [18:41] mzz, yep, but the problem is this rootkit i got is so sophisticated that about the only thing you can trust is ascii files, nothing even remotely related to registry [18:41] flashblind, well I take that back. They're on an intranet but can access the internet. But I don't use them with the internet. They're 2 cups servers. [18:41] vertix: yep [18:41] shrini_: can you pastebin the output of lspci, so we can have a look, too, if you like [18:41] !pastebin > shrini_ [18:41] shrini_, please see my private message [18:41] Can someone help me fix my mouse problem on jaunty Please? [18:42] joe_: as i suggested yesterday, have a look at your x.org log files. [18:42] Sirisian|Work: So i would note the macc addresses of the network cards and log on to your dhcp server and give each machine a unique reserved ipadrress done doing so ifconfig eth0 down && ifconfig eth0 up [18:42] Piet: I have [18:43] I've just discovered the joys of VPN...

[18:58] 9.04 [18:58] anybody here using evolution as their mail app? i can't create 2 pop accounts. only 1 pop account retrieves my mail... and the other one it doesn't. wonder why. [18:58] Jaunty's detecting the wrong display size, my desktop is too big for the screen. What do I do? [18:58] any idea why "top" and "ps aux" take forever to respond? ( just upgraded to 9.04 and rebooted) [18:58] DaveJ1337, nvidia? [18:58] gharz: My evolution is set up with two pop accounts [18:58] surja: well, i don't know if the config files are still the same location on 9.04, but have a look at /etc/network/interfaces [18:59] Hi there again ...does someone know a program / application to index media files ??? [18:59] coz: ATI [18:59] what should I look for in that? [18:59] DaveJ1337, darn I am not good with ati situations [18:59] what would you do for NV? [18:59] Ok, I assume just my install. I'll switch to Fedora. Works there. Later. [18:59] The new Ubuntu 9.04 boots a bit faster than the old one, but how can I make it boot even faster? [19:00] DaveJ1337, nvidia has nvidia-xconfig that generally would take care of that for ati , however I dont know [19:00] help me with flickering screen of blender [19:00] tdn remove splash from the boot line [19:00] parapanghelescu: Can you explain what you mean by "index media files"? What kind of media files - music, movies, pictures - and how are you hoping to index them? [19:00] surja: u're trying to configure your network interfaces, right? i've never used an ADSL or pppoe, so i'm not sure if it's eth0 we're going to configure. anyone have any input on this? [19:00] whats the command for mounting physical hard drives [19:00] DaveJ1337: i've 2 pop accounts... 1 is gmail and the other 1 is yahoo. i tried yahoo without gmail and it worked... and tried gmail without yahoo and it worked... but if i set up both, the other one doesn't work. right now my gmail doesn't download my mails. [19:00] Jack_Sparrow, really? Does the splash consume a measurable amount of time during boot? How much? [19:00] in terminal [19:00] !mount [19:00] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [19:00] t3pleni9: mount [19:00] as for the question on evolution, I just set up two accounts in "preferences" and it worked for me. maybe one of your accounts isn't set up right? try setting it up with one account, then delete it and set up the other...Just to see if it's the account or the program [19:01] but it has to be listed in the dev file [19:01] mheath > yes, moovies, music mostly ...Index as automatically construct a database / excel file / xml files ...etc [19:01] gharz, you beat me to it. I use the same server, just two accounts. Not sure bro. [19:01] DaveJ1337: it says Complete but it didn't download the mail. i checked the web based account and the mail is still inside my gmail... :( [19:01] ok. [19:01] thanks! [19:01] anyone? [19:01] hello people [19:02] the ifconfig command shows two interfaces eth0 and eth1 but I am sure there is only one lan card in the laptop [19:02] shrini_: a great resource for you is this: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:T41 [19:02] i installed restricted-extras and my player worked [19:02] tdn, there isn't much you can do to get measurable gains. Removing the splash gains a minimal decrease in boot time. You're essentially stuck with shaving a sec here or there, maybe a fraction or so here and there, and that's probably about it. [19:02] when i reset it i hear sound but no video [19:02] Hey, all. [19:02] surja: are there any IPs attached to eth0 or eth1? [19:02] parapanghelescu: I use banshee; it does an excellent job of organizing my music, and while I don't use it for this, I believe it organizes your videos for you too. [19:02] finger [19:02] the mount command doesn't show the sda2 and sda3 how to add them [19:03] shrini_: actually madwifi may work for you. install the linux-restricted-modules-* package [19:03] dayo: I don't think so... i haven't been able to configure them at all [19:03] HikeTech, ok. What are the biggest time consumers that prevent that? [19:03] mheath > does you know any other one ??? [19:03] and ..it' works in Ubuntu ? [19:03] surja: in the second line of the ifconfig output, are there IP numbers after ' inet addr:' ?

[19:07] Np Jack_Sparrow [19:07] tdn, I think ubuntu boots much slower than let's say, Debian, because there are more services that start at boot. You could remove things such as cups if you don't print, maybe remove bluetooth packages if you don't use it, etc.; checkout your startup items too to see what can be removed when you login.

If you: dmesg|tail after inserting it, should say there. Also you can find this usually from result of: sudo fdisk -l (and look for correct size drive). You ned to make a dir to mount it to.

I've been testing the use of local repositories, but every time I attempt to use add/remove it adds a line into the sources.list file. I have set the permissions of that file so that root and all others have read only access, but add/remove can still add a line (something I can't even do as root at present)?

The add/remove tool - is rather.. pathic in ways.. You may want to start using synaptic. [19:38] Slart: I have an 8800 GTS. (2 of them). Whenever I install the restricted drivers (from Ubuntu or from the website), GDM can't start. =( [19:38] OH HEY!!!!11one [19:38] dayo: thanks for your time..

[19:38] I wish theyd just launch synaptic or adept [19:38] dude so i upgraded the other day [19:38] whats cool about 910?

[19:39] mrpockets: why noy ask in #ubuntu+1.. that is the official channel for 9.10 [19:39] Dr_Willis, I can't do it because I've set read only permissions, even for root. (I can change the permission and then make changes if I want.) The thing that is interesting, is that add/remove can make changes even when the permission is read only for both root and all others. [19:39] dayo: no probs :) take care ok... its midnight here in India and I do have to log off now.

I have set read only for root in permissions, does that actually do anything? When I open the file in gedit as root, I cannot save the changes, so long as it's set as read only. [19:41] Buttons840: even vi can write to a read only file with the right options === davidcramer` is now known as davidcramer [19:41] Buttons840: it can be overridden by the right stuff. :) I just made a read only file, and i could edit it with vi If i used :!w to force the write [19:42] Does Best Buy sell motherboards? [19:42] Buttons840: so you CAN alter the file with the right tools even if its read only [19:42] Dr_Willis, so am I to understand that permissions have no influence on root? [19:42] DaveJ1337: not that ive seen. [19:42] lame... [19:42] newegg it is...

[20:15] koder: i used it and nothing was wrong with it [20:15] Hello, is there a safe way to change the default gcc version from 4.3 to 4.2? [20:15] Guys my Totem is playing all well but Amarok doesn`t any ideas please? [20:15] Hi. I own a copy a Windows Pro. I have a laptop with 1 gig ram and Ubuntu 9.04 installed. I do not want to re-install everything. I would like to know if I can install Windows using visualization or no? [20:15] thiebaude: i will give it a try on my next pc. I would like to upgrade now without having to change the fs [20:16] whileimhere: you said windows for both things [20:16] how do i paste large sections of text again? [20:16] Piet:Is that the log you were looking for that I sent you? [20:16] koder: i cant use ext4 now because im using wubi [20:16] whileimhere: you can use vmplayer or virtualbox or so [20:16] whileimhere: Windows can run inside Ubuntu in a virtual machine, but won't be any good for say 3D Windows gaming. Ubuntu inside Windows in a virtual machine is ok for trying, but setting up a proper dual boot set up isn't that difficult. [20:17] whileimhere: VirtualBox is really great [20:17] sebsebseb yes I was pointing out that I am a legal owner of a copy of Windows Pro so there would be no license issue with me using it. [20:17] whileimhere, just throw the windows cd away =) [20:17] Hello guys. Does anyone here have an Ubuntu One account they can use to invite me into the Beta with?? [20:17] whileimhere: depends on what type of XP Pro you got, some of them are only made for the psyical hardware [20:17] sebsebseb, opengl aint too bad. And if you can get WineD3D, a lot of games should work... [20:17] !ot | sthwaites [20:17] sthwaites: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [20:17] sebsebseb I just want to have it installed so that if I have to use it while studing for my networking certs I have it at home. [20:17] porter1: what's that??? [20:18] rules [20:18] Anyone having problems with sound in Amarok? [20:18] hello all [20:18] UUID=7f0a867c-1490-42d3-9d8d-1e60c04b6ed0 none swap sw 0 0 -- what does the 'sw' mean and do? [20:18] whileimhere: it's not a special lap top version? if so that might not work in a virtual machine, but you could try inside Windows first [20:18] can someone name me a good programm to rip my music CDs into mp3 (want to use them on my ipod) [20:18] porter1, WineD3D is basically replacing the directx libraries in win32 with the wine equivalents so that everything is generated as OpenGL, which VBox can accelerate [20:18] anyone help me out with a networking problem? trying to hook my ubuntu machien up to the net [20:18] It is just a version I bought at Best Buy a few years ago. [20:18] whileimhere: how much RAM do you have? [20:18] 1 gig [20:18] niklas_: It depends on when you want it to be superceded and when not, if you want it never ( even on distribution upgrades ) superceded change the major version ( 1.1.21 ) to something large like 999 and there will never be a major version larger than that, but you probably don't want to go that far [20:18] Pici: Gotcha... new to IRC [20:19] toomai_CH: I use soundKonverter [20:19] whileimhere: yep XP Pro inside Ubuntu in a Virtualbox VM will work with that [20:19] sebsebseb, WineD3D is basically replacing the directx libraries in win32 with the wine equivalents so that everything is generated as OpenGL, which VBox can accelerate [20:19] Hi, i'm doing some php and need to find nusoap.php - anyone know where that is? would probably come from the php-soap module [20:19] GUYS whats the best mp3 player in Ubuntu? [20:19] !best | karol [20:19] karol: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [20:19] sebsebseb I do not plan to actully use it for anything much. [20:19] whileimhere: what do you plan to use it for? [20:20] sebsebseb when I go study for my networking exams they give windows examples to study from. [20:20] MY screens are working correctly now thanks [20:20] porter1: oh right i'll check that out when I clean installed Ubuntu, something I been wanting to do a few weeks now, but not done yet. since in no rush etc [20:20] niklas_: If you want it to be superceded when a new upstream version of wine comes out but not when there is just a new debian patch to the same major version of wine then increment the major version by one and add ~1 like you did before [20:20] sebsebseb What package do I need to install? [20:21] whileimhere: are you in Ubuntu now? [20:21] I am in Ubuntu now. [20:21] sorry I stepped away, I wanted to know if there is a kickstart that sets things up automatically at install that can be modified [20:21] Jordan_U: OK, can I also use ~myspecialfeature instead of ~1 ? [20:21] sebsebseb, it doesn't work with Win 7 though. so I'm guessing XP is prbably the best to use it on [20:21] porter1: I knew Codeweavers Games were doing something like that [20:21] !kickstart [20:21] Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning [20:21] Jordan_U: so that you can see what it does [20:21] Yeah it'ts the same method Parallels uses for their VM [20:21] porter1: what does not work with Win7? also that's only a release candidate or the beta if you got it earlier on. those stop working after a certain amount of time [20:21] (Actually the Wine team was upset about it) [20:22] Here is the very simple xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/m4eb3a990 [20:22] porter1: I think can virtual machine Win7 inside Ubuntu in Virtualbox on 1GB RAM as well [20:22] my amarok 2 doesnt play sound anyone any ideas? [20:22] Hi! I have an old laptop(800mhz, 512mb ram, 14gb hdd). WinXP is really SLOW, would Ubuntu be a good option? Could this computer do as a surf computer? [20:22] Jack Sparrow thankyou [20:22] PTR__: Ubuntu will work alright on that yeah [20:22] PTR__, yes, put Xubuntu on it [20:22] can anyone point me in the right direction for getting my ubuntu machine hooked up to the internet through a router? [20:22] PTR__: i have 512mb of ram [20:22] * PTR__ is considering leaving Windows ;) [20:22] karol: doesn't it play sounds at all or not just MP3? [20:23] sebsebseb, yeah I was just seeing if it would run Aero at all, which it appeared it couln't [20:23] PTR__: that may be a tad sluggish under ubuntu. You may want to try some of the Ultra-light linux distros. [20:23] I Ubuntu a good choice for a linux newbie? [20:23] PTR__: people recommend Xubuntu for older hardware, but with 512MB RAM, standard Ubuntu should be rather fine [20:23] Dr_Willis: okey, such as? [20:23] anyone have an opinion of ubuntu ultimate 1.9? [20:23] Also thankyou Hiemanshu [20:23] Buttons840, never heard of it [20:23] PTR__: yes, in my opinion it is the best choice for linux newbies [20:23] PTR__: if you need Windows for something though with 512MB, you probably can't virtual machine Windows that well [20:24] Hi all. I'm trying to install openoffice.org via the add/remove thing, and it is not working. tells me there's conflicting software and I have to use synaptic to find it [20:24] but I've uninstalled OOo and no longer have it... why would this be? [20:24] ExAstris, use Synaptic then [20:24] PTR__: yea,ubuntu resurrects obsolete or non-functioning laptop/PCs because of its high hardware compatibility.just come over here if you need help in installation [20:24] niklas_: not at all [20:24] sebsebseb: I have a new laptop that is running Windows, so that's cool [20:24] I've tried. It gives me errors too... hold on, kindofabuzz, I'll try again [20:24] ubuntu ultimate is some kind of custom build my cousin insists on using, and then he complains ubuntu sucks because he has never ending trouble, but i don't know anything about it, (he's using it on a aspire one to make matters worse) [20:24] porter1: I think there's something in Windows 7 that would need setting up in Virtualbox. [20:24] nmvictor: thanks man! [20:24] I am sitting here in Live session about to install 9.04. I am going to install /home on separate partition this time. What size should I make that? I put all media on a different HDD. So, should ten gigs be enough for the time being? I have 20gigs alloted to Linux right now, total. [20:24] niklas_: You can say ~patched-for-gamex1 then if you need to update your patch because of a bug, but not update the major wine version you would release ~patched-for-gamex2 and it would supercede the ...gamex1 [20:24] PTR__: ive ran ubuntu on a 600mhz celleron. so it can do it. Just dont expect any heavy apps to be speedy it should web surf fine. [20:25] Ubuntu ultimate is a custom build of ubuntu and is not supported by the Ubuntu community. [20:25] Buttons840, just because he has trouble doesn't mean everyone else has trouble [20:25] ExAstris: would you please give the exact error message,maybe use pastebin,com if ned be [20:25] cameron1: ok partitioning [20:25] cameron1: what partitions do you already have on there? [20:25] niklas_: You might want to read the versioning section here: https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA [20:25] nmvictor, it was giving me dependency errors about openoffice.org-core [20:25] nmvictor, I'm installing that now, then will try again [20:26] ExAstris, try sudo apt-get install -f [20:26] karol: hmm, I'm not sure what to do amarok 2 runs fine for me [20:26] sebsebseb: I have 320GB. 80 is Windows, 20 is 8.04, 220 is media (ntfs) [20:26] cameron1: do like 12GB / your swap space, and most of the space being your home [20:26] What are the odds that my PCMCIA Wireless network card is working under Ubuntu? [20:27] PTR__: I'd guess 80-90% [20:27] Jordan_U: I've read most of it, but your last statement made it more clear to me, thank you! [20:27] niklas_: np :) [20:27] ExAstris:i wpould help if you gave the exact error.try installing it from the terminal so youd get tthe conflicting package name [20:27] Also thankyou Hiemanshu [20:28] kindofabuzz, just says 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 27 not upgraded [20:28] nmvictor, hold on and I will [20:28] nmvictor, the error is: openoffice.org: [20:28] Depends: openoffice.org-writer2latex but it is not going to be installed [20:28] when I try to install that it's openoffice.org: [20:28] Depends: openoffice.org-core but it is not going to be installed [20:29] can someone check out my pastebin and tell me why my mouse jumps from side to side and clicks at random intervals? [20:29] PTR__: what is your PCMCIA card? [20:29] and when I try to install that, it hands on "setting up" in the terminal [20:29] sebsebseb: So 12GB as "/" and swap, then the other 8 as my /home sound reasonable? [20:29] http://pastebin.com/m1972acce [20:29] im trying to use JRE > 1.5, i keep changing the JRE but it always gives me an error about a free vendor [20:29] cameron1: not quite [20:29] cameron1: 8GB for home rather small indeed [20:29] cameron1: ,but your going to put most data some where else anyway? [20:30] why doesnt the live ubuntu CD (64bit) detect all 4GB RAM??? [20:30] cant you just download the jdks, unzip them and export the JAVA_HOME variable? [20:30] jxberth: 64bit doesn't detect the full amount [20:30] sebsebseb: Yeah, all of it is elsewhere on another HDD/partition. [20:30] niklas_: Cnet CWC854 [20:30] cameron1: well not much point having a seperate home in your case I think [20:30] thiebaude: ??? [20:31] cameron1: also if you don't format a / partition that has home in it, w hen you re install, home stays in tact, I been told [20:31] jxberth: how much does it detect? [20:31] thiebaude: 3.5GB [20:31] I would love to leave MS behind but unfortunately its what the people hiring want so I do what I do to get paid. [20:32] sebsebseb: Ah. I was looking to keep in on its own partition in the event I try a different distro, or for backing up purposes. [20:32] jxberth: i have 512mb and ubuntu detects 495mb [20:32] cameron1: right, but it's not exaclty hard to install programs again, if you try another distro? [20:32] it says I have broken packages. How can I fix this? [20:32] cameron1: and you can copy/backup relivant .folders anyway [20:32] sebsebseb: True enough [20:33] Keyboard shortcuts > "move between windows, using a popup window" can not be changed to something else other than "Alt Tab". anyone else has this problem? [20:33] sebsebseb: Gotcha. I shall just go with one partition for the time being. [20:33] thiebaude: Im sorry but I dont understand, a 64bit OS should detect up to 74GB RAM, as simple as that [20:33] 64GB* [20:33] ExAstris: sudo apt-get install -f at the terminal [20:33] cameron1: I been meaning to clean install for a few weeks now, plus I am going from Ext3 to Ext4, most of my .folders there won't be a good reason to keep. ,but i'll back up stuff like .mozilla [20:33] nmvictor, I have tried that. [20:33] * mneptok needs to get off of Hardy soon [20:33] nmvictor, it does nothing. just outputs 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 27 not upgraded. [20:34] cameron1: just copy the relivant .folders yeah [20:34] ExAstris: aptitude safe-upgrade === |RamsesI| is now known as RamsesII [20:34] sebsebseb: Gotcha. Thanks for the help [20:34] cameron1: ok no problem [20:34] jxberth: you're probably referring to free emeory? === i is now known as Guest33979 [20:35] underit: i tried on jaunty - works fine, i changed mine to alt+right [20:35] I need help with getting sound in amarok since the ubuntu 9.04 [20:35] with jaunty , virtualbox don't see the usb [20:35] piet: Maybe [20:35] Another question, is 9.04 going to be less of a pain with dual screens? The live session isnt working well (which I can expect) but I remember when I installed 8.04 it was a PITA getting my dual screens working [20:35] PhotoJim, running that now [20:35] zagabar: there is a bug about this [20:35] hey, I have read some fora on internet and such, but I haven't found a way to get Ubuntu server Edition on my VIA C3 machine. Has anybody here succeeded in doing so? [20:35] Guest33979: the OSE version doesn't come with usb support.. [20:35] komputes: try it with shift-tab, please [20:35] Hi... is this the right forum for a question about how to set up a raid 5 in ubuntu 9.04? [20:35] jxberth: or to usable memory even. [20:35] komputes: How to fix it? [20:35] jxberth: see what "cat /proc/meminfo" tells you [20:35] Piet: how can I get the full amount to be displayed? [20:35] Guest33979: OSE = Open source edition, iirc [20:35] zagabar: : and only messes up in 9.04 [20:35] scott72: yes, but I don't think many people know about that [20:35] Is there a specific channel for the Netbook Remix, or shoulD I just ask in heer? [20:35] *here? [20:35] meminfo : 3.5GB [20:36] blargh. === Guest33979 is now known as omer [20:36] underit: shift is not an operator key, try ctrl or alt [20:36] I may just DL the source and build it... but I think that'd take forever [20:36] Piet: BIOS shows 3.5GB as well! [20:36] <[gloom]> is there any way to create an image of an ext4 partition? Partimage seems not to support ext4 yet... Any idea? [20:36] zagabar: just a sec, let me get you the link [20:36] Database: I run NBR [20:36] jxberth: it surely didn't say this, since it would output it in kb [20:36] komputes: thanks, send it in a pm please. [20:36] PhotoJim, what should I do when that completes? [20:36] cameron1, separate X sessions is borked in regards to the gnome-panels [20:36] Is there any way of making the image "persistent"? [20:36] Attempt the install again? [20:36] ExAstris: I didn't see your original problem, but that will install those "not upgraded" packages. [20:37] jxberth: oh so your bios may be the limiting factor. or you have shared ram with video. [20:37] how can j use the usb with virtualbox? [20:37] cameron1, see this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-180/+bug/339783 [20:37] Database: how have you installed it? [20:37] PhotoJim: my original is that I can't install openoffice.org [20:37] komputes: ctrl-tab is not working [20:37] and which version of Ubuntu [20:37] ? [20:37] sebsebseb: Thanks... Do you know where I should look? should I look in the ubuntu website instead? [20:37] * Dr_Willis seconds what sysdoc says about panels [20:37] RamsesII, I simply used the image writer program to write the .img file to my SD card. [20:37] My screen is now fixed but now it seems that ekiga wont run any more [20:37] omer: download the proprietary version from virtualbox.org [20:37] 9.04. :) [20:37] ExAstris: well, this is a good step then. your system will be completely up-to-date. and then you can try installing it again. [20:37] ah [20:37] ekiga is throwing an xserver error [20:37] PhotoJim: It gives me an error about openoffice.org-writer2latex not being installed, so I try to install that and it says openoffice.org-core isn't installed. I try to use that but it doesn't fix the problem [20:38] yep, error [20:38] scott72: your issue isn't exactly distro specific is it? [20:38] slart , don't work , j did it [20:38] Piet:Any luck? [20:38] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [20:38] openoffice.org: Depends: openoffice.org-writer2latex but it is not going to be installed [20:38] E: Broken packages [20:38] omer: does work, I did it [20:38] ExAstris: it should handle the dependencies together. but you can multiinstall, e.g. aptitude install openoffice.org-writer2latex openoffice.org-core ... should not be necessary though. [20:38] and you have set to boot from that device as well Database? [20:38] !doesntwork | omer [20:38] omer: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day?

[20:38] CiPHER_: oh, you're back. the log you pastebinned is one of the two files i suggested to pastebin [20:38] Yes, RamsesII. [20:38] j use jaunty, did you manage with the terminal? [20:38] I'm sitting in it now. [20:38] ic ic [20:39] scott72: you can look around ubuntuforms.org sure ,but if your issue isn't distro specific you can get help in the general linux channel I guess ##linux [20:39] My problem is that I want it to save my settings. [20:39] and it won't? [20:39] Piet:and the other log? and was the first any help? [20:39] Well, at the moment it is acting like a LiveCD. [20:39] omer: I downloaded it using a browser.. can't remember if I used the terminal to install it or not [20:39] sebsebseb: ok thanks! :) [20:39] Because, AFAIK, it is.

[20:53] Does anyone know where the module assistant created the log? [20:54] CiPHER_: since the Xorg.log you already put on pastebin is not current, it would be better if you could restart your x server and pastebin it again then. [20:54] any one know how to remove cube caps or make them transparent ? [20:54] sebsebseb: I do "./configure" and it do something [20:54] i need serious help [20:54] niklas_ does that download a new copy of ubuntu? im on wireless broadband and cant do that [20:54] PLEASE! [20:54] No, Itaku. [20:54] !ask [20:54] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [20:54] CiPHER_: however, if you look at lines 34ff of what you pasted at http://pastebin.com/m1972acce you'll see what's going wrong. [20:54] Itaku: no, it CAN download it but also just use an ISO you already have [20:54] can you make an ubuntu live cd - or just dvd? I can't seem to find and iso that will fit on a cd. [20:54] kay good because my internet can barely load googles homepage [20:55] i'm trying to get cairo dock installed on here but it wont get ti [20:55] it' [20:55] sebsebseb: but in all program when I type "make" it's say that " No rule to make target `install'. Stop." [20:55] I need somehelp on getting my ethernet card to work onto my server its saying "failed to bring up eth0" [20:55] theres an error with the Makefile then [20:55] jarsen: that's odd since the ISO's are CD size [20:55] hi, can anyone please explain to me how to effectively format my usb stick? i'm trying to do it with gparted, but still all my files are there after formats of fat32 and fat16 :S [20:55] brodymcd: It may be the case that no one in this channel actually knows, next step is the forums, or search through launchpad and see if you can find a bug which describes your particualr problem, or report a new one... [20:55] sebsebseb: now is Airsnort [20:55] CiPHER_: HAL, the hardware abstraction layer, is apparently unable to idnetify your keyboard an mouse. or at least it was unable to do so before your x server failed to start, which is from when this log is. [20:55] whyme: You did apply the changes, right? :p [20:55] sebsebseb, theyre like 700 MB's flat which some blank cd's see that as too big [20:55] that does it does with me [20:56] Piet:Yes I noticed that before however I thought if that was problem I wouldnt be able to use mouse at all [20:56] sebsebseb: i know, it's pretty weird, the iso is the right file, but when I try and burn it it says I'm gonna need over a gig. maybe it's just my mac software. [20:56] Itaku: you can also burn to DVD yes [20:56] whyme: what dou you want to achieve? do you just want to erase all data? [20:56] thus, i have to use a blank dvd to burn, thus is why im using a flash drive [20:56] jarsen: most isos should fit on a cd [20:56] Piet:hmmm...any idea how to get it to recognize it? [20:56] I need somehelp on getting my ethernet card to work onto my server its saying "failed to bring up eth0" [20:56] i dont like wasting dvd's though [20:56] sebsebseb: so what I'm doing wrong? [20:56] CiPHER_: not really, I would need to search, too [20:56] niklas_, yes, and i want to partition it with fat16 so i can make a persistent USB liveinstall [20:57] cd $home [20:57] Itaku: do you think I could do the same thing from an external usb harddrive? i assume so [20:57] green__: some programs need dependancies. there's a program that helps with that when compiling, but I can't remember name [20:57] niklas_, kinda like here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [20:57] CiPHER_: it suggests to reconfgure HAL, maybe you should: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow hal [20:57] jarsen, thats what im doing right now [20:58] any one know how to remove cube caps or make them transparent ? [20:58] whyme: why don't you just delete the files if you want them to be gone? [20:58] !find debbuilder [20:58] Package/file debbuilder does not exist in jaunty [20:58] Itaku: do you need to configure the BIOS to boot from usb? [20:58] jarsen, your computer motherboard needs to support usb boot though. which about half of them do. [20:58] ^^ [20:58] I fail installing .rpm because it says some key failed. How to install it without that key needed? rpm -i --non(something) package.rpm ? [20:58] !rpm | guja [20:58] guja: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [20:58] guja: are you using ubuntu? [20:59] !alien | guja [20:59] its recommended you use a flash drive you dont use/back it up first [20:59] because it does wipe it [20:59] niklas_, just to be sure, there is basically an installation done by USB creator, so i want to make sure all the ultrahidden bootfiles are gone so i can do a fresh install into my usb stick [20:59] the application cannot be started, The user interface cannot be determined. this is the error message. what can I do? [21:00] cyborg: what application? [21:00] the program is openoffice [21:00] not strictly ubuntu, but how to convert a video file into something that can be played on Windows w/ the default codecs (conversion to be done on Linux, possibly using ffmpeg). Thx [21:00] lstarnes openoffice [21:00] Piet:Didnt work,sigh [21:01] cyborg: how are you starting it? [21:01] !shred [21:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about shred [21:01] start menu :) [21:01] niklas_: man shred, it's installed by default. [21:01] cyborg: don't you mean the applications menu? [21:01] lstarnes startmenu [21:01] Flannel: thx [21:01] lastarnes yes [21:01] homovitruvius: the ffmpeg and mencoder faq's answer that. :) i saw it just the other day [21:02] sebsebseb: One's who aren't to know the rootpassword. (Family, newbies to Linux, want to try it out) [21:02] cyborg: I'm not sure what would be causing that error [21:02] !root [21:02] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [21:02] homovitruvius: the big issue is 'using the default codecs' I dont even know what ones are default [21:02] lstarrnes yes [21:02] lstarnes yes [21:02] Jonta: well they need admin/root rights to install programs [21:02] ohhh [21:02] sebsebseb: what about sudo? [21:02] huuppppp [21:03] !sudo > sebastien [21:03] sebastien, please see my private message [21:03] wrong person, garg [21:03] sebsebseb: Got that to work in terminal [21:03] !sudo | sebsebseb [21:03] Itaku: I already know about sudo [21:03] sebsebseb: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [21:03] Itaku: of course I know about sudo :) I have used Ubuntu since second release in 2005 :) [21:03] lol [21:03] well something you can do, sudo su [21:03] sebsebseb: I'll be back in 40 [21:03] Itaku: sudo -i is preferred [21:03] whyme: you could use dd to erase your usb stick (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/[usb stick file]) [21:03] Itaku: there's absolutely no reason to do that. [21:03] Dr_Willis: didn't find anything and the ffmpeg IRC channel didn;t know. I don't know much of windows myself, but I guessed that msmpeg4 in an avi container would have worked. Not so... [21:04] I am unable to play any mp3 or video with this jaunty? [21:04] i used to be a linux nerd, but i stopped using linux for like 2 years, im making my return [21:04] whats the -i in sudo? [21:04] hello ppl [21:04] Itaku: interactive [21:04] CiPHER_: try this: hal-device /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_logicaldev_input [21:04] wassup everyone? [21:04] having trouble with gparted here, was trying to resize some partitions. i shrunk my ntfs partition for windows, and i have unallocated space now of 40 gb. problem is, it won't let me allocate to my ext3 partition (sda5), and for my extended partition (sda5) it says it's busy (atleast one logical partition mounted), even though nothing is mounted [21:04] Itaku: it gives you a root shell, but as Flannel pointed out people don't normalley need to do that [21:04] and where is the difference between sudo -i and sudo -s? [21:04] CiPHER_: does it output something? [21:05] niklas_: environment [21:05] niklas_: -i uses root's environment, not the current user's [21:05] anybody know the open arena package? [21:05] ok great [21:05] how do you use a blackberry storm as a modem in ubuntu? [21:05] !info openarena [21:05] openarena (source: openarena): fast-paced 3D first-person shooter. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.1-1 (jaunty), package size 721 kB, installed size 1664 kB [21:05] MY media players cannot play anything media things , when I open files they blink and then close without playing anything. in 8.10 was fine. [21:05] niklas_, thanx, i'll try! [21:05] kQ: heard of it [21:05] brb reboot [21:06] im looking for it in the package manager [21:06] ehs: you just referred to sda5 twice, i assume one of them was incorrect? also, which poartition is windows on? [21:06] does anyone have cairo dock [21:06] homovitruvius: cit may been in the mencoder faq.. [21:06] Piet:it says no device [21:06] commander_: yes [21:06] i get this error whenim tring to edit icecast and this is what i get [21:07] An edit session for this file crashed. [21:07] If this is the case, use ":recover" or "vim -r /etc/default/icecast2" [21:07] to recover the changes (see ":help recovery"). [21:07] If you did this already, delete the swap file "/home/romano/tmp/icecast2.swp [21:07] " [21:07] romano: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:07] Hi everybody ! === niklas_ is now known as nh2 [21:07] Piet:sorry for the slow responding time,my mouse is the cause,lol [21:07] piet: sorry, windows is on sda1. sda3 is an extended partition, under which is listed sda 5 (ext3) and sda6 (linux-swap) [21:07] CiPHER_: do you have a usb or ps2 mouse? [21:07] huh [21:07] Piet:ps2 [21:07] kQ, you need to enable universe in synaptic [21:07] CiPHER_: no problem [21:07] floodbot?? did i do something bad? [21:07] i'm having problems downlaoding it. it keep saying i need the change association in preferences WTF does tht mean? [21:07] romano: :p [21:07] !pastebin | romano [21:07] romano: 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) [21:08] I have a problem installing Ubuntu 9.04 on my PC [21:08] cool thans i was looking for that [21:08] romano: you are typing too many lines simultaneously [21:08] ok,under stood wont do it again [21:08] I have a Kernel Panic a the first start of the installation [21:08] commander_: Not really sure. I'm almost certain i just did apt-get install cairo-dock [21:08] i need a program that would relay IP packets to a proxy server [21:08] brass work with me on this please.. [21:08] commander_: Is that what's giving you an error? [21:09] I need to migrate mysql on windows to linux but i cant boot my windows partition. I can read the partition though and i am woundering if i can get to my databases through som file(s) on windows [21:09] [NIC:1] -> ([interface 1] -> [proxy server]) -> [Internet] [21:09] I launch the CD and have the first menu, but when I choose anyone of the installation option I have the Kernel Panic message ... [21:09] yeah [21:09] is there a way to get ubuntu/NetworkManager to automatically recognize connections? [21:09] interface 1 is bind to proxy server [21:09] Anyone have an idea ? [21:09] CiPHER_: for some reason your mouse is not being detected by HAL. I have not run into this before so I suggest you ask someone else (here) or search on a search engine of your choice... i.e. can't help further from here, sorry. [21:10] commander_: So you did apt-get install cairo-dock and what exactly did it say in return? [21:10] Piet:Yes its new to me also,never seen this problem in the years ive used ubuntu,lol. However thank you for your help. Google dont seem to be an answer to me either lol [21:10] it installed it so it says on the terminal [21:10] ok,starting over.im tring to setup icecast and i have to edit a file to true,but it gives me this error [21:10] http://pastebin.com/d76aa6e8d [21:10] commander_: okay, so at what point do you get the error? [21:11] when i go to edit the file, like type true the error comes up [21:11] it happened when i try to download the packages on a site page Berilos.com [21:11] ugraded my ideapad to 9.04 and now the display brightness only has 2 settings, dark and barely visible [21:11] ehs: does sda2 exist, too, and if so, what's on there if you don't mind telling? [21:11] merlin5693, did you check the install medium for errors [21:12] commander_: you're trying to download cairo-dock from that site? did the install from ubuntu's repositories not work? [21:12] this is the site i got docs from---http://www.vim.org/htmldoc/usr_11.html [21:12] merlin5693: my first question with such problems: did you verify the CD /the iso before burning? [21:12] lemme check [21:12] Question- why if I run a program from it's native directory, it runs fine but if I path to it from a different directory it gives me an error [21:12] commander_: you're probably referring to berlios, a source code repository such as sourceforge.net [21:12] Any ideas why Hal isnt recognizing my Ps2 mouse in Jaunty? [21:13] The CD is readable on Windows and I can launch wubi, but I have not try this installation method [21:13] How can I disable links from automatically being detected in ubuntu [21:13] Hey, having some problems with Wine. For some reason it isn't recognising that I have OpenGL support, and anything which requires it will crash with an error (I can attach a pastebin if necc.) But OpenGL is fine running native Linux apps (tried OpenArena and such with no problems at all) [21:13] on the command line that is [21:13] sebsebseb: bcmorr2 it's probably looking for something in the current directory [21:13] where can i get help using launchpad/bzr? [21:13] workaround? [21:13] Piet: yes, sda2 is an ntfs partition, with the label "FACTORY_IMAGE" [21:13] CiPHER_: have you verified that the mouse works? [21:13] anyone know if you can get razer drivers for linux? [21:13] ehs: a reciovery partitions then [21:13] bcmorr2: run it from the first directory [21:13] Piet: Yeah, commander_ is trying to install cairo-dock, but he didn't verify if it installed from the ubuntu repositories before trying from source. [21:13] mhall119|work: uh?? [21:14] sebsebseb: sorry, didn't intend to include you on that [21:14] piet: i suppose it is [21:14] mhall119|work: ok no problem [21:14] sthwaites: try #launchpad,you'll get some help over their [21:14] romano: are you sure there is no other program edititing your file? [21:14] * ValentineX has left the room [21:14] mhall119|work: right, but then I can't get it running from my wm's menu, was curious if there was a fix [21:14] nmvictor: thx [21:14] mhall119|work:I just wiped XP off my comp and it worked fine there so yes [21:14] brass it did but now it's asking me about themes and when i pick one nothing happens [21:14] brassmaster: i see... [21:14] Piet problem is that i had shrunk sda1, but i can't seem to increase the size of sda5, it just doesn't let me :S [21:14] bcmorr2: write a script that will cd to that directory, and then call the program [21:14] commander_: but it's open? [21:15] mhall119|work: alright [21:15] i dont know, i rebooted cause i searched,but i can not fid any thing [21:15] CiPHER_: did the mouse not work on Jaunty at the same time it did work on WinXP? [21:15] this is what happens--http://pastebin.com/d2ae840fa [21:15] don't reall y know i went to synaptics and it says it there but i get no dock or anything [21:15] how do i enable universe in synaptic? [21:16] I need some help on getting my network to come back up and when I did the lshw -C network it came up with network card disabled and i am using I am using 3com 3c905b cyclone [21:16] universal** [21:16] mhall119|work: my cat just walked over my keyboard and now everytime I hit a key in xchat my pc speaker beeps, any idea? [21:16] Piet: i think it may be because sda3 (the extended partition) is limited to 2.5gb, and i wouldn't know, but seems like sda5 (the one i'm trying to increase) is under it [21:16] romano: ok, after a reboot there is no danger, so follow the advice in 2) [21:16] bcmorr2: get a better cat [21:16] mhall119|work:It did not work on the live cd before I completely wiped windows though I figured it to be a problem with the live CD...Yet it worked perfect on Windows at the time [21:17] commander_: Does it show up under the Accessories submenu of Applications? [21:17] this--delete the swap file "/home/romano/tmp/icecast2.swp [21:17] yeah [21:17] CiPHER_: that's really odd, is it a specialty mouse? [21:17] how do i get ubuntu to set up my network connections like it does when it's first installed? [21:17] everytime i try to open.... gnome-look.org ..... firefox closes [21:17] guys: I can start a Debian netinstall, I can start a OpenSuSe Network installation but I cannot start a Ubuntu 9.04 Server Edition or Alternate Install CD on my VIA C3 system: does anybody have a clue what is wrong? [21:18] I am having a problem mounting my Iphone so I can see it. Other USB devices seem to appear without issue. [21:18] mhall119|work:nope...2 button mouse with a scroll button in the middle...HP mouse [21:18] romano: step 1: do the recover job, step 2: delete the swp file [21:18] CiPHER_: really strange, do you have a PS/2 to USB converter? [21:18] I need some help on getting my network to come back up and when I did the lshw -C network it came up with network card disabled and i am using I am using 3com 3c905b cyclone [21:18] ehs: so this is what you have: primary: [ sda1, windows/ntfs (shrunk) <-> unallocated space <-> sda2, windows recovery/ntfs? ] extended: [ sda5, linux/ext3 <-> sda6, linux/swap ] [21:18] New information : I'm just trying the CD on a VMWare virtual manchine and it Work's ! Then it's not the CD ... [21:18] mhall119|work:ITs VERY annoying considering it prevents me from doing work,it randomly scrolls,points and clicks [21:18] Piet: that looks right [21:18] commander_: Okay, I see what you mean now. [21:19] Piet: order in gparted is different, but that probably doesn't matter [21:19] hi there [21:19] ehs: i don't think you can move the unallocated space out of the primary partitions to an extended partition [21:20] iphone help...anyone? [21:20] How can I find out which repository package provides a particular file? [21:20] !lvm | Piet ehs [21:20] Piet ehs: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [21:20] commander_: are you on 9.04? [21:20] ehs: but i'm not sooo sure about this. [21:20] i just switched to ubuntu. copy from one sata to another sata hd brings 2MB/s . much worse than debian unstable. why? [21:20] arthurh: apt-file search filename [21:20] yes [21:20] mhall119|work:I dont have a converter [21:20] Piet: how can I make my linux partition bigger then? must be a way.. i mean, how does ubuntu installer do it even [21:20] gunbert how do i delete the swp file [21:20] dan: AFAIK, the iPhone clearly states it requires Windows or Mac OS X [21:21] commander_: did you use cairo-dock before upgrading, or is this your first version of ubuntu? [21:21] I have got a "GNOME 2.14 Desktop System Administration Guide". My GNOME panels are version 2.26.0. Is there a newer version of the GNOME Desktop System Administration Guide available? [21:21] !who | commander_ [21:21] commander_: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [21:21] mhall119|work:What I dont understand is it works perfect except for its moments when it is having a fit [21:21] mneptok: when I connect under Ubuntu, it sees it as a USB device and I can at least browse the photos [21:21] dayo: so you're suggesting ehs should use lvm2 or mdadm. true, he could do this, but this doesn't make it much easier, since he (?) wants to grow an existing partition [21:22] Jordan_U: Thx! [21:22] third version brass and no didn't use cairo only AWN [21:22] mneptok: but I am testing Crunchbag ( a Ubuntu fork) and the functionality is not there so I am trying to figure out why [21:22] anyone here with nforce chipset and experience on slow sata hd's ?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [21:23] commander_: Okay, can you try selecting _default_ as your theme when it asks? That's the only one that works for me [21:23] romano: open a terminal window and type rm tmp/icecast2.tmp, btw you can use to invoke autocomplete in the terminal (and here in the channel) [21:23] I did few times [21:23] I'm trying to mount a .dd file and not having any luck: http://paste.ubuntu.com/172585/ [21:23] arthurh: np [21:23] but I will ask for the 4th time [21:23] I need some help on getting my network to come back up and when I did the lshw -C network it came up with network card disabled and i am using I am using 3com 3c905b cyclone [21:24] how do i get ubuntu to set up my network connections like it does when it's first installed? [21:24] what's up with those snowflakes on it? [21:24] Anyone ever tried connecting a TI 84+ Silver Edition to a linux box? [21:24] ehs: i don't know how ubuntu installer does it. well i think you could swap sda2 and the unallocated space, then move the beginning of the extended parititons further to the start, so you'd have the unallocated space in the extended partitions. then you could grow your existing partition [21:24] rm: cannot remove `tmp/icecast2.tmp': No such file or directory [21:24] ehs: parted should actually do this for you [21:24] CrawfordComeaux: Looks like you have the file path wrong [21:25] TimReichhart, ifconfig ethX up ? [21:25] ever since i upgraded to jaunty, my hd movies have really choppy playback, any ideas how to fix this? [21:25] commander_: Don't know. somebody's not great with graphic design apparently. We can fix that. Does it work? [21:25] Piet: ahh, i get it. i might try that. or I can just make another partition if I want. How can I be sure it'll be recognized by ubuntu though? or is that a given as long as i make it ext3? [21:25] heyy [21:25] !who | romano [21:25] romano: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [21:25] ehs: so the only remaining issue is probably really that something is mounted [21:25] danaka: What GFX card? [21:25] i get error while getting interface flags: no such device there newgen [21:25] oh hell...sorry [21:25] nm [21:26] danaka, could be grafic driver, could be harddisk... tricky [21:26] I copied the command and the file name's off by 1 :P [21:26] jordan_U: 7800gtx [21:26] understood,sorry im noob [21:26] commander_: btw, you should address me by name. eg, type brass then press tab and it will autocomplete brassmaster: for you. [21:26] watsup [21:26] Piet: yeah, it says something is mounted.

[22:03] pik}: "Wired Network" "device not managed" [22:03] systat: it's a thing that is supposed to set up binary drivers for NVidia and ATI, but mostly ends up breaking stuff [22:03] cause my reserch showed that there was 2 version of sync and so we have to know wish one to use to install the good who is compatible with our version [22:03] systat: why not just the radeon driver (OS), it works with my x1300 [22:04] Okay, so does anyone know, any link from where I could download some open source drivers, or something similar [22:04] melter: i guess you can try out wicd [22:04] V0iD_: i dint get you????? [22:04] systat, read this : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [22:04] guntbert, tell me where I can download those drivers [22:04] pik}: it's as if i have 2 completely different subsystems managing networking, NetworkManager and something else [22:04] gordonjcp: envy-ng is well written and available in universe, it is not just a random poorly written script [22:04] nmvictor: You said dont use envy!

[23:50] huma: if you installed Dapper, you can upgrade that to Hardy just like that [23:50] CaneToad: no segfoult.. script-error ?! loads least [23:50] hacktolive: I would use a separate partition for documents.. and mount that in the home folder.. that way you still have one home for each os but documents and such are still available on both [23:50] What does it mean when free disk space is marked "unusable" by the installer? [23:50] Quick question: I instaaled Ubuntu using Wubi. According to System Monitor, my physical hard drive is /host . Can I safely mount it?

I'm still not familiar with that... [23:53] hacktolive: sure [23:53] CaneToad: http://paste.ubuntu-fr-secours.org/src-14406 [23:53] I'm using ndiswrapper, and network-manager-gnome. I set up a profile for my router (WPA Personal), but when I try and connect, yet it prompts me for a password, and the only options are WEP. [23:53] hacktolive: it's just a gnome thing that you have to mount stuff in /media [23:54] RUbuntuNooB: ok what do you want to know, just ask [23:54] hacktolive: but you can mount stuff anywhere you want (almost).. you can mount a folder several times in different places if you want.. [23:54] but one thing drives me nuts - broken hibernate and suspend mode. It just doesnt work on my laptop. I wanted to ask if it was fixed in version 9.04? [23:54] gnome or KDE better? [23:54] RUbuntuNooB: oh right that ah yes [23:54] leOn: are you using some kind of virtualization, such as kvm, xen virtualbox, qemu or the like? [23:54] witcher: which ever you prefer [23:54] Slart: interesting... in fact, I have already done it with regular ISOs, but not with partitions... [23:54] witcher: different.. not better or worse [23:54] !better | witcher [23:54] witcher: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [23:54] Slart: So mounting a partition is kinda like mounting any other file (ISO, tar.gz, etc...) ?

[23:55] RUbuntuNooB: that's the kind of thing that works for some lucky people just like that, and that other people need to set up, and that's not that easy to set up that feature [23:55] epiro, some webcams are tricky in Linux with skype :). I have to go, good luck! [23:55] No ideas on how to use WPA and ndiswrapper? [23:55] how do i get ssh to ask for me the password, I always just get "Permission denied (publickey)." [23:55] witcher, what OS are you using now? [23:55] RUbuntuNooB: it really depends on the hardware you have [23:55] diskin . thanks, i will... [23:56] Piet: i have virtualbox installed, but there were time when the problem occoured that i wasn't using it .. thought the vbox* drivers where loaded [23:56] ubuntu 9.4 [23:56] k thanks for tips..... bummer, it probably doesnt work because i have a weird laptop assembled in russia [23:56] Piet: it's an amd64 on a 32bit machine with PAE === NavadeHo is now known as NvdH|Away [23:56] how do i get ssh to ask for me the password, I always just get "Permission denied (publickey)." [23:56] witcher: so i'm guessing you're already using gnome? [23:56] I've followed the guide for my nc10 on the ubuntu wiki; it instructs me to get linux-backports-modules-intrepid [23:56] RUbuntuNooB: it's also, because of hardware manufactures and lack of Linux support for such features [23:56] yes [23:57] How do I get of that annoying advertisment when I login to ssh? [23:57] Piet: do you believe it's related to vbox? [23:57] however, apt-get cannot find the actual package [23:57] =/ [23:57] witcher: do you like it [23:57] How do I load RAID drivers and mount the raid drives at boot? (I dont have to boot Ubuntu from the raid drive, just mount them automatically when I power up the machine) [23:57] Running Jaunty UNR here [23:57] its ok [23:57] but some apps i want are only KDE [23:57] Trunkz Are you running intrepid? [23:57] witcher: most kde apps will run in gnome [23:57] i can't get them to install [23:57] Jack_Sparrow: No I'm not, but it seems a modprobe & restart seems to have cured the problem. [23:58] But is it worth to upgrade to 9.04 now? or is it better to wait a bit? [23:58] Trunkz It isnt a good idea to mix repos.. [23:58] witcher: what packages? [23:58] leOn: i don't know, yet, i'm just reading a related mailing list thread on the kvm linux module development list. kvm is a virtualization technique. [23:58] Jack_Sparrow: All I've done is enable the backports repo that come by default with 9.04 [23:58] RUbuntuNooB: it's not the kind of thing that will just work in a later Ubuntu version either [23:58] looking one up [23:58] should i disable them again? [23:58] Whats with the landscape advertising in Ubuntu 9.04? [23:58] leOn: how often does this occur? more like hourly, daily, weekly...? [23:58] Trunkz Just wanting to make sure you were not using backports from a different release [23:58] hi.. hopefully a quick question.. im installing ubuntu using the alternative (text-based) installer.. i want to configure RAID1, but the partitioner only shows 1 of my twin-identical drivers... 'fdisk -l' correctly shows both drives... is there a known bug in the alternative installer where identical drivers are not detected properly? [23:59] Jack_Sparrow: lol, oh god no :P [23:59] RUbuntuNooB: just like it probably won't just work on other distros either, because the Linux kernel does not have built in support, because of the hardware manufactures not releasing specifications for the hardware [23:59] I'm trying to fsck an external hard drive, but don't know how.
