Is there a command I can use to check if everything is fine? [00:00] !repeat | nightdrever [00:00] could anyone help me? [00:00] nightdrever: 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 [00:00] xirrin: well there woudn't really be any as far as I know, and also as far as I know, it would then mean you would have to update kernels yourself every time you wanted to update, and there woudn't just be one offered to you from Ubuntu's repo [00:00] xirrin: experience but why go through all the grief, who is going to support you if it doesnt work ? [00:00] xirrin: wait no that second part is wrong I think [00:01] thank [00:01] xirrin: ,but wirecheif has a point, you can't really get support for custom kernels in Ubuntu's channels [00:01] Oh absolutely, I was just curious about why someone would want to. It didn't make any sense to me. [00:02] xirrin: indeed Ubuntu isn't Gentoo or some such, distros where people tend to do it [00:02] xirrin just get the latest kernel here : http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [00:03] xirrin: ppa's are also not 100% offical, if offical at all really. ,but yes ppa's is a good way to get even later programs [00:03] sebsebseb: alright, thanks I need to go now. [00:03] !ppa | xirrin [00:03] xirrin: With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [00:03] hello [00:04] How to split 2 LANs with Hamachi? [00:04] xirrin: ppa's are useualy recommended for more advanced users, that's what I should have said before instead of the stuff regarding 100% [00:05] are you there sebsebseb [00:05] who can help with graphic cards? [00:05] xirrin: channel is not that busy at the moment, just chat here :) no need to PM [00:05] Sure :) [00:05] coler: yes [00:05] Well the article I found was this one: http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1097993 [00:05] PioDer, Hamachi is for Windows. [00:05] xirrin, you may want some unsual kernel patch, option or optimization [00:05] PioDer, you are in the Ubuntu channel. [00:05] pinion: have you installed the restricted-extras [00:05] sorry about pasting. I had done it before u told me not to [00:06] magcius: ok :) [00:06] coler: uh? [00:06] Severity1: Yes, ubuntu-restricted-extras right? [00:06] good night [00:06] what do i do once i put it in ubuntu pastebin [00:06] coler: get me the link [00:06] And I'm just wondering sense it hasn't been updated in a couple months I read that the 9.4 catalyst is out...is that walkthrough safe to do at this point? [00:06] yep [00:06] hmmm, on a 320gb drive, with 3 200gb drives for general storage, what would be a good size for /usr? [00:06] So, I've got a dumb question: how would I strip out the gnome / system tray stuff in 9.04 so that I can do things manually / without requiring gnome? [00:06] how? I am kind of new [00:06] i hate trying to arbitrarily pick sizes for partitions [00:06] coler: copy and paste the pastebin link [00:06] I know its not the "ubuntu approved way", but I'm curious as to if it would work sense a number of people seem to have had good luck with it [00:07] JavaAtom, you can always do things manually, just CTRL-ALT-F1 :) [00:07] http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [00:07] xirrin: i've installed FGLRX manually from ATi's site since 9.4 came out [00:07] joaopinto: right. I want to load my own window manager and not have to deal with nm-applet. [00:07] xirrin: i used eny to install my ati and nvidia [00:07] xirrin: yeah as far as I know ppa's aren't 100% supported by Ubuntu [00:07] thats not right [00:07] *envy [00:07] xirrin: you might want to build a deb and install it with the package manager so that it's easy to remove later on :) [00:07] mp3! [00:08] coler: no for what you put on pastebin [00:08] mgmuscari: I have no idea how to do either of those things :( [00:08] !mp3 [00:08] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [00:08] Help... is it possible to install to distro of linux in dual boot using the same partition? [00:08] coler: if you subbmited there should be a number [00:08] JavaAtom, if you want your windows manager, you will need to set tp the xinitrc scripts for it [00:08] i think the walkthrough tells you how to build a deb for your distro [00:08] andre, only with wubi [00:08] i don't remember off the top of my head atm [00:08] any thoughts on a good size for /usr? ;) [00:08] i didnt write anything under poster [00:08] mgmuscari: why are you making it a separate partition? [00:08] joaopinto: which I'm more than willing to do. My main issue is that no matter what i do, when I run my chosen window manager, I still have gnome-based crap to deal with [00:09] any i see nothing that says submit [00:09] raylu: i like to keep things separated [00:09] xirrin: that link you gave me, is probably ok [00:09] JavaAtom, that is because your xinitrc scripts are calling gnome/gdm apps/scripts [00:09] coler, use paste.ubuntu.com if you can [00:09] pinion: that's as far as i can go right now, but i will tell you if anything comes to mind [00:09] joaopinto: what is wubi [00:09] sebsebseb: thanks my install worked [00:09] !wubi | andre [00:09] andre: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [00:09] mgmuscari: but if you don't use some space you allocate, you've wasted it. if you use more than you allocate, you're screwed [00:09] Severity1: Thank you [00:09] xirrin: however it's usually best to stay with the standard Ubuntu generic kernel [00:09] raylu: that's why i hate partitioning [00:10] needhelp1: ok good [00:10] mgmuscari: in general, unless you have a good reason, you should stick with a single partition for everything else [00:10] needhelp1: so you been using it today? [00:10] joaopinto: alright, can you point me to a web page that can tell me how to set things up? [00:10] mgmuscari: the only thing it makes sense to keep separate are /home and /boot, in my opinion [00:10] sebsebseb: yeah [00:10] *things [00:10] needhelp1: did you get that link I left you? [00:10] pinion: have you tried searching synaptics for those missing packages? [00:10] how do i start a movie in another screen [00:10] how do i use pastbin. I pasted the stuff there, now what [00:10] yeah.. i need help editing my grub menu now [00:10] for tvout [00:10] raylu: try installing a different distro or upgrading by doing an install from disc with everything on one massive partition, and you'll understand why i do it this way :p [00:10] !pastebin | coler [00:10] coler: 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) [00:10] where dos ubuntu stores all its users? and how can i add a user able to become sudo [00:11] as of now.. it says it will auto load the highlighted listing in 10 seconds.. which is ubutnu.. i need to change that to auto load windows [00:11] mgmuscari: i've installed lots of distros... it's not like i keep /usr across distros [00:11] needhelp1: ah right yeah [00:11] mgmuscari: or even across versions [00:11] needhelp1: that's easy enough [00:11] coler: you press *send* after filling in the form [00:11] ubottu: joaopinto, ok it like running virtual machine in a program on windows ! all right , its not what i;m looking for [00:11] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:11] needhelp1: also I though 3 seconds was the default boot up time? [00:11] raylu: i usually at least keep /usr/local across distros/versions [00:12] it waits 10 seconds and if you dont pick a selection .. it auto loads the top of the list [00:12] coler: then copy the address frm the add bar at top of browser [00:12] raylu: i hope you at least put /home on a separate partition [00:12] needhelp1: yep [00:12] with the "mobile broadband" tab, are you supposed to be able to use a bluetooth phone with that? [00:12] mgmuscari: i do. but stuff that i need to compile in one distro i may not in another [00:12] needhelp1: your going to edit the file for that and have Windows at the top, then Windows should boot up first [00:12] there is no send, just poster, syntax, contents and paste [00:12] mgmuscari: and even if i do, they may use different gcc, etc. [00:12] i don't see where you enter the phone device (/dev/rfcomm0) [00:12] sebsebseb: any idea how to do that? [00:12] needhelp1: however here's something to note, when you install a new kernel, that will become the top, and be the default boot, untill you change again [00:12] sebsebseb: hum [00:12] needhelp1: of course done this a few or so times on the other computer [00:12] then how could i partition one HD into more than 4 partition, because gparted doesn't allow it. [00:13] sebsebseb: im on the windows partition now.. is that ok? [00:13] needhelp1: have you installed all of Ubuntu's updates? [00:13] yeah [00:13] needhelp1: no unless you do Ext3 driver or something, but that's a bit silly for this anyway [00:14] needhelp1: re boot into Ubuntu and come back [00:14] kk brb [00:14] i've installed dansguardian, and now i can't get on the internet at all :( [00:14] with my main machine [00:14] nalioth: sounds like some sort of firewall you put on? [00:14] another reason i like to partition certain things separately is because then i can mount them as read only [00:14] sebsebseb: followed the howtos on the ubuntuforums [00:14] sebsebseb, it's a parental control app [00:15] if im not mistaking [00:15] nalioth: hardware firewalls are the best by the way [00:15] hi there [00:15] eseven73: oh, ok well I don't really know about it obviously, but you do it seems, so hopefuly you can help him [00:15] virtualbox, i see usb in jaunty machine , not in 7 machine [00:15] got a question concerning ubuntu-themes, could sb pm me? ^^ [00:15] andre: to get more then 4 partitions, one must be an extended partition, that then holds logical partitions. [00:15] no I don't know much about it [00:15] does anyone know what software I need to back up my drive as an image and load the image? [00:16] tsa: you could probably get your answer from the channel, if you ask the actsaul question [00:16] sebsebseb: i don't need or waht a firewall, but evidently dansguardian needs one to work [00:16] i need to repartition my drive without destroying my current ubuntu installation...how can i do this? [00:16] and now i can't get to the internet from that box at all [00:16] nalioth: no I don't know if it needs one, since I don't know that app [00:16] nailora, have you tried uninstalling it? [00:16] http://paste.ubuntu.com/173951/ [00:16] i think thats it [00:16] nalioth: I just thought you had done something with a firewall and stopped yourself from getting on net, that's all [00:16] which are the drivers for the foxconn I video card? [00:16] adenine: gparted perhaps.. but that can some times confuse the bootloader.. you may need to tweak the /boot/grub/menu.lst afterwards depending on what you do [00:17] pclinux and mint dont work [00:17] sebsebseb: on ubuntuforums, there is a howto with "dansguardian" "firehol" and "tinyproxy" - that is the one i've followed [00:17] !info dansguardian | sebsebseb [00:17] sebsebseb: dansguardian (source: dansguardian): Web content filtering.

[00:18] even with webmin interface to Firehol, it can be difficult to set up [00:18] wildc4rd, define "app." [00:18] when i click on Mint or pc linux i get something like busy box [00:19] coler: oh [00:19] and it cant find something [00:19] let's assume i have separate partitions for /home, /var, /tmp, /opt, /usr, /usr/local. how much space does ubuntu 9.04 require on / then? [00:19] is there also a way of telling which os is on which partintion w/ linux [00:19] mgmuscari: erm... very little. [00:19] that's what i figured [00:19] Severity: I have tried doing a search but nothing is coming up for that [00:19] !message|said [00:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about message [00:19] i thionk i just need to point it to the right hard drive [00:19] mgmuscari: The link I posted for the walkthrough has a bad web address in it and is giving me a 404 error. Do you have any advice on how I can update it on my own like you said you did? [00:19] coler: why was I asking for menu.list humm, can't remember that now either, well it's up there some where [00:19] mgmuscari: just enough for the kernels etc, and /etc [00:20] coler: ah ha that must be why I see [00:20] j ##ubuntu [00:20] !msg|said [00:20] said: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers and ensure that you're not getting bad advice.

I will have a separate /home partition. I install almost every program I can find---altough I am trying to cut back on that. Would 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 GiB be a good size for my / partition? I have 100 GiB of available space for / and /home. [00:22] flannel: think like 5GB for / ?

[00:24] mgmuscari: some think it's really unstable, others think it's good [00:24] should i reinstall mint [00:24] mgmuscari: biggest issue ive seen/heard of - is that other livecd/rescue/older disrtos dont support it yet. But i imagine that will change soon. [00:24] sebsebseb: what are the arguments given for instability? [00:24] i use ext4 for / and for home [00:24] coler: which OS is the one that has the problem? [00:24] will wubu take care of this [00:24] coler: i reccomend using the normal ubuntu over 'mint' [00:24] mgmuscari: well what's in the release notes [00:24] !notes [00:24] Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) release notes can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/ReleaseNotes [00:24] Mint and pclinux === root is now known as Guest30303 [00:25] <[Tequila]> ok honestly how the heck to transfer video to ipod [00:25] ext4 works well [00:25] but mint is the most important because it doesnt take as much memory [00:25] hi all [00:25] coler: how much RAM do you have?

[00:33] finally how do i tell which partition has what os (ie mint) is there a folder that has the id [00:33] hi i need some help... i made the mistake of installing ubuntu on my laptop before i installed my windows vista partition and now my vista wont install becuase it says it cant modify to boot sector... how do erase grube from the boot sector intirely so i can install vista? [00:33] mgmuscari: oh LOL forgot that the names of the ubuntu's versions are actually adjectives :P [00:33] fil_: I don't think tabs are supported in nautilus except in 2.26 [00:33] coler: you can edit the menu.list file yourself, it's rather straight forward === [o_O] is now known as danopia [00:34] haha [00:34] coler: you can open the partitions now. from computer and see what size they are [00:34] lasternes: how can I update with some deb package? I'm using ubuntu 8.04. [00:34] anybody have an opinion on a good size for /opt? [00:34] mgmuscari: hum [00:34] mgmuscari: a seperate /opt that's not needed [00:34] fil_: I don't know if there are such updates for ubuntu 8.04 [00:34] Any help on being able to have multiple programs to play sound at once? === saulus_ is now known as SauLus [00:34] lasternes: if I compile it myself, will it work? [00:35] sebsebseb: i really like to keep separate partitions for most things so that / doesn't ever run out of space by accident [00:35] fil_: it might, but a deb would probably be safer [00:35] mgmuscari: well it won't, as long as you do a good size for / :) [00:35] fil_: check for PPAs on launchpad for gnome [00:35] sebsebseb: i've got plenty of space to throw around here, so i don't mind if i waste a bit [00:35] anyone? [00:35] can i change the program to windows without have to buy the software because ubuntu does't let me dowload anything [00:35] fil_: however, the only officially supported version of gnome on 8.04 is the one that comes with 8.04 [00:35] theres no other way, like can i go into each partition and look in a certain place [00:35] I am having trouble configuring sound in my ubuntu jaunty. Can someone help?:-/ [00:36] !grub | clepto [00:36] clepto: 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 [00:36] princess: windows is retail software; you have to pay to get it [00:36] !sound | edgars1 [00:36] edgars1: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [00:36] !sound | edgars1 [00:36] sebsebseb: that isnt the problem... i want to remove grub entirely [00:37] . [00:37] clepto: the Vista DVD will overwrite Grub if you let it, and then you can re install Grub [00:37] lstarnes: thanks [00:37] so can i get help in downloading programs because this doesn't let me download anything [00:37] !internet sharing [00:37] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:37] sebsebseb: it keeps saying it cant modify the boot sector and closes out [00:37] ubottu: thanks, i will try that [00:37] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:37] princess: what are you trying to download? [00:37] clepto: oh the Vista DVD?? [00:37] sebsebseb: yes [00:37] sebsebseb: if i enter ./ufo ai in the terminal it says "error while loading shared libraries: libcurl-gnutls.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [00:37] " where do i get those? [00:38] clepto: Grub can boot Vista and Ubuntu of course :) [00:38] does windows 7 (RC) still overwrites GRUB? [00:38] how do i access the parttion editor [00:38] sebsebseb: i know ive used it before and never had this problem [00:38] i have a zune and cannot download the program and also i have an xbox 360 and am not able to use my laptop becaus ethey only work with windows [00:38] how can I enable internet sharing? I want to connect my Xbox to my laptop for internet access. I can do it in Vista [00:38] kiloblaster: do you have libcurl3-gnutls ? [00:38] has anyone here ever compiled sagemath, if so how long did it take? [00:38] kiloblaster: sudo apt-get install program maybe? I can't really help with your issue it seems [00:38] ive tried downloading photoshop it does not work [00:38] lstarnes: how do i know if i have it or not? [00:38] princess: I see [00:39] sebsebseb: thanks anyway :) [00:39] ive tried downloading aim it does not work either [00:39] sebsebseb: its wierd man ive used qtparted to completely kill the partition table on the laptop and it still boots to grub [00:39] princess: just out of curiosity, how did you end up with ubuntu? ubuntu is a version of the Linux operating system. software built for MS Windows won't run without some tweaking [00:39] is there a grub menu program that one can install ontop of ubuntu [00:39] princess: ok [00:39] princess: Photoshop is a windows program, not a linux program. [00:39] princess: Ubuntu comes with a program called Pidgin that can be used for the AIM protocol. i like it :) [00:39] geirha: you could use Wine for that... [00:39] GIMP ftw! [00:39] kiloblaster: aptitude show libcurl3-gnutls. or installit and see if it works after installing [00:39] princess: if you want, i can help you install a program that will allow you to install and run many windows programs. it's called Wine [00:40] okay how do i do that [00:40] But a better option would be to use GIMP/Pidgin [00:40] You don't need photoshop [00:40] princess: also if your computer has enough RAM, and you got a Windows CD, you can run Windows inside Ubuntu inside what's called a virtual machine [00:40] coler: you just open up menu.list from the last distro you installed, located in /boot/grub and erase the lines you don't want. [00:40] hi [00:40] You can install GIMP for free, and it is very similar to photoshop. [00:40] you can only use Photoshop 2 on WINE, as far as I know anyways [00:40] kiloblaster: still problems with CS3 and CS4 though [00:40] CS2* [00:40] lstarnes: it says that i have it istalled... [00:40] she wants to be able to use windows programs on her Ubuntu notebook, so i think it's appropriate for her to have Wine [00:40] just installed jaunty, but i cannot use my wacom with HID anymore! anyone knows why? [00:40] mat-dg: yeah it's true...but older like 6.0 works fine as far as i know [00:40] sebsebseb: so how do i manually remove grub? [00:40] because the ubuntu was installed on my laptop when i purchased it [00:41] it's not a problem with permission (i am root) [00:41] princess: at the top of the screen, click on System, then Administration, then Synaptic Package Manager [00:41] clepto: you need something that overwrites the MBR [00:41] kiloblaster: Yes, but it doesn't work 100% [00:41] clepto: and then you can get rid of /boot/grub and that as well [00:41] geirha: better than nothing no? ;) [00:41] princess: it will ask you for your administrator password. you should have this because you either had to set it yourself, or your computer came with documentation containing it [00:41] sebsebseb: i already have deleted the boot partition so now i just need to do the mbr [00:41] how do i restart the mousehandler when it crashes :S [00:42] okay it opened up [00:42] very few decent things run in WINE, so I suggest looking into GIMP and or Inkscape princess, just my two cents. [00:42] princess: click the "Search" button [00:42] !info GIMP [00:42] Package GIMP does not exist in jaunty [00:42] ... [00:42] i can't move the mouse and i really don't want to reboot right now, what can i do? [00:42] !info gimp [00:42] gimp (source: gimp): The GNU Image Manipulation Program. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.6-0ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 4297 kB, installed size 12472 kB [00:42] !search GIMP [00:42] Found: scanning, screenshot, gtk, gimpshop, scanners, gimp [00:42] eseven73: case matters [00:42] doh! [00:42] ;) thanks lstarnes [00:42] hi people! I've installed ubuntu as dual boot to my cousin, but he, asshole, cannot use it.. so now I have to format it back to ntfs so that his goddamn windows could see it as an extra drive.. how would I do it, please somebody ) appreciate! [00:42] kiloblaster: I've gotten used to gimp, and it works better than photoshop in linux ;) [00:42] princess: when the Search dialog opens, enter Wine in the box, and click search [00:42] clepto: ##windows can probably help [00:43] reformat the whole drive [00:43] :P [00:43] okay searching [00:43] it came up with a few things [00:43] with added brushes/gradients/fonts gimp can be very very nice [00:43] princess: it will take a minute or two. when it's done searching, you will see wine under the package column of the results. right click on it, and click "Mark for installation" [00:43] geirha: gimp is FREE and good, but with PS you can do many many things more and GIMP's learning curve is... hard i think [00:43] princess: it may ask you to install dependencies. click yes/ok/accept or whatever [00:44] princess: Ubuntu can do most things Windows can, but yes there are differences here and there, but this site covers a lot of the basics http://www.ubuntuguide.org [00:44] GIMP also has some plugin that gives it functions like ps i believe. Pretty sure i heard it on lifehacker or gizmodo. [00:44] princess: after all that, click "Apply" at the top. it will take a few minutes while all the packages to be installed are downloaded and configured [00:44] Hello what program should i use for Copying CD-s Like NERO ? [00:44] ok ok [00:44] gotta go now... [00:44] thanks everybody btw [00:44] see ya [00:44] ard1an: I think Brasero does that. [00:45] well ok :D [00:45] is there any change in permission for polling hid device in jaunty??? [00:45] mgmuscari: sudo apt-get install wine :) [00:45] okay its installing [00:45] mgmuscari: that wouldh ave been easier and faster [00:45] Can anyone help me get my Creative Soundblaster Audigy SE card to work? [00:45] i can't move the mouse and i really don't want to reboot right now, what can i do? [00:45] which currently works better gnash or swfdec? [00:45] princess: Synaptic Package Manager contains a whole lot of programs that are made to do a lot of the things you normally do in windows. they are all installed using the same process that i just gave to you. you can uninstall them by performing the same steps and selecting "mark for removal." the whole thing is pretty streamlined and in my opinion easier than windows [00:45] princess: welcome to Linux :) === theGussi is now known as Gussi [00:46] I checked to make sure my sound card was connected, it works fine in Windows [00:46] I need to have some way to figure out if Linux is reading it though [00:46] thanks so much, so now i can download programs? [00:46] !sound | byte^ [00:46] byte^: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [00:46] !apt [00:46] princess: Synaptic is good, but if you know the name of the Linux program that you want to install, it's much quicker and easier to install it via the command line. applications > assesories > terminal then running the sudo apt-get install wine command would download and install it for you [00:46] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) [00:46] once Wine is installed, if you download a windows .exe file, you can run it by right clicking on the icon, and selecting "run with wine" [00:46] kiloblaster: I don't think the learning curve is harder for gimp, but when u are used to PS it can be confusing and weird [00:47] princess: "run with wine" might not be the exact name of the selection, but i don't remember off the top of my head [00:47] Come on, no one can help me with my sound card? [00:47] how do i use ctl-alt-backspace again? --> it's not working [00:47] princess: Wine will handle the installation and uninstallation of "windows" programs for you. I recommend that you do not try to install photoshop as it can be a hassle [00:47] aah is there some way to reinitiate the mouse handler by cli? [00:47] wine setup.exe I think it is [00:48] gwhip: It's disabled by default in jaunty [00:48] princess: Ubuntu comes with a program called the GIMP Image Editor that is similar in function [00:48] eseven73: she probably doesn't want to use the command line [00:48] Yeah [00:48] i tried the gimp image editor and did not like it...it seemed complicated [00:48] how do i reenable it [00:48] Go to Applications -> Add/Remove... [00:48] and there's always Adobe Illustrator clone, Inkscape [00:48] And search GIMP in the search bar [00:48] princess: no more complicated than photoshop... just different [00:48] gimp complicated? :D [00:48] yeah gimp is gimped :/ [00:49] you cant master Photoshop in a day, same with GIMP [00:49] princess: i recommend sticking to adobe photoshop... gimp's UI is really horrible [00:49] No, it is not. [00:49] princess: if you really want to run windows, you can actually run windows virtually inside of ubuntu. the steps to set that up are a bit more complicated, though [00:49] JGodbout: lets not talk about overlapping toolboxes [00:49] mgmuscari: not always, really [00:49] princess: I've heard *Elements* runs good in wine. [00:49] hi [00:49] m0u5e: her laptop came preinstalled with Ubuntu... she doesn't have windows [00:49] gimp is great, photoshop is the horrible one [00:49] gwhip: open a terminal and install: sudo apt-get install dontzap [00:49] mgmuscari, princess: I think the Virtual Machine Manager would be useful in installing Windows [00:49] mgmuscari: photoshop c2 works well with wine [00:50] for some reason a run file doesnt want to run [00:50] m0u5e: i haven't tried it myself :D [00:50] but i have a frozen mouse, how can i fix it? :( [00:50] Ax-Ax: how much photo editting do you do? [00:50] gwhip: then type: sudo dontzap --disable [00:50] whats elements [00:50] yep photoshop cs2 works in WINE [00:50] elements is a stripped down photoshop [00:50] i 'sh file location' in terminal and it just gives a checksum error [00:50] for ctrl-alt backspace you have to add this line at xorg.conf :Section "ServerFlags" [00:50] Option "DontZap" "False" [00:50] EndSection [00:50] I tried to make a copy of audio CD using brasero, and decided to create image and let brasero choose format. It created two files, "brasero.toc" and "brasero". Now I can not burn the image, it's size is ~800K, and it does not fit my blank disk. Is it a known problem? [00:50] photoshop versions 7 and lower work flawlessly [00:51] Option "DontZap" "False" [00:51] diskin use gnomebaker [00:51] EndSection [00:51] cs2 doesn't work properly for me in Vista :p [00:51] mgmuscari: lol [00:51] vista sucks [00:51] anyone know which currently has more features / stable? swfdec of gnash?

[00:51] magician0617, too late, the source disk is not available already. what's wrong with brasero? [00:51] i like vista it runs fine for me ^ ^. [00:51] windows 7 is going to be very good from the looks of it [00:52] how can i tell terminal to ignore checksums in a run file? [00:52] wow, i ended up allocating 240GB for /home [00:52] ! avahi [00:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about avahi [00:52] diskin: brasero is basic utility. gnomebaker has better options [00:52] Lainchan: vista is really slow sometimes [00:52] mgmuscari: that won't be enough. [00:52] how can i tell terminal to ignore checksums in a run file? [00:52] Lainchan: but does it run fast without eating all your rescources? [00:52] Lainchan: and doesn't run nearly as well as it needs to [00:53] magician0617, also, when I select "recent projects" and click on the "brasero" file (800K), it tries to open it in text editor! [00:53] MaT-dg: actually i have a problem with ubuntu eating all my resources as well, so...

Any help here?

[01:26] Codex_: you need to create an extended partition in order to create more partitions in overall on that harddisk, this is not specific to GParted but a general "issue" [01:26] well, so far, I've had to do a clean install [01:26] basically, if I go to the hardware drivers, activate it, then restart, I bot into the terminal, and then I cannot access the GUI or the X Server [01:26] hola [01:27] EricJ1186: re-installing just because of bad driver install is overkill :) Next time try booting into recovery mode and choose "Fix X" [01:27] hola!!!

[01:29] a .run file [01:29] AmnesiaUK: you need a version of libgnome2.0-cil newer than or equal to 2.16.0 [01:29] EricJ1186: Do you remember the exact wording or closer to it?

[01:47] Jordan_U, i remebered a short name of this application.. anyway - thanks [01:47] pw-toxic: np [01:47] but online is the most importand part i know ;) [01:47] pw-toxic ccsm [01:47] is there no other source you can obtain this file from? independent from all these mirrors? [01:47] smerz i was thinking of setting up a VM for this [01:47] what log analyzer for UFW do you recommend? [01:47] naah i wouldn't recommend it [01:47] Hello? [01:47] smerz i looked everywhere [01:48] smerz even tried 4shared [01:48] has anyone figured out how to put photos on the DSi? [01:48] EricJ1186, What driver are you trying to install [01:48] It was the Nvidia Accelerated Graphics Driver Version 180 [01:48] EricJ1186: Have you tried starting in recovery mode and choosing Fix X? [01:48] smerz playing online is possible, but all the good servers have utdc [01:48] I install it, and it loads me into the terminal [01:49] from there, I cannot do much [01:49] EricJ1186, sorry do not know nvidia [01:49] Jordan_U & EricJ1186: Might it be a restricted driver? [01:49] can I have both GNOME and KDE running on the same PC at the same time? I don't mean KDE/GNOME apps, but the Desktop environment itself... ? [01:49] that's what I said earlier [01:49] EricJ1186: Just run "sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf" then "sudo reboot" [01:49] someone told me to just use the Nvidia driver on their site [01:50] I've used Nvidia several times and when it didn't install with (k)ubuntu - I tried the Restricted drivers and it went in ok [01:50] hacktolive, no [01:50] hacktolive: what does that really mean? What is "the desktop environment" other than a collection of different components (apps) [01:50] I have Ubuntu 8.10 on another partition that I can mount, is there a way to run apt-get update/upgrade on it without booting into it? [01:50] chuck_: thanks, I suspected that [01:51] hacktolive: You can run two X servers [01:51] X only sees one process as the "sessions manager" and will only allow one app to be the window manager (at any given time) [01:51] aiuw, if you can get to console you might be able to [01:51] AnswerGuy: I don't really know that... [01:51] Ityped in that string, Jordan, and nothing happened [01:52] does anyone know a good source for pulseaudio problems? No output devices are showing up when I try to use it, and I am getting no sound [01:52] the sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:52] coz_: ? [01:52] EricJ1186: It won't give any output but when you reboot X should start as it wont try to load the proprietary driver [01:52] okay let me try [01:52] aiuw, what happens when you try boot into that? does it drop to a text console? [01:53] anyone in here used cairo-dock .... trying to get my icons to not looks so pixelated [01:53] Jordan_U: tell me more... would that be like running one on "+" and other on "+" ? [01:53] donavan01, yes I use cairo dock [01:53] donavan01, which video card? [01:53] is there a way to make window resizes update while dragging the window? [01:53] youwin, in compiz? [01:53] !pulseaudio|ricree, [01:53] ricree,: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [01:53] just gnome [01:53] coz_: well, I don't have an internet connection with it [01:53] youwin, oh not sure then [01:53] Jordan_U: I meant: + + >f1> [01:53] hacktolive: Yes, or you could run one X server inside a window within the other with xnest / xepher [01:53] coz_ its a radion x500 [01:54] Jordon - didn't work [01:54] back in terminal [01:54] can someone here help me with Firestarter setup? [01:54] thank you chuck, but I already went through that guide and haven't been able to get it to work. Do you have and other suggestions? [01:54] donavan01, ok which version of cairo-dock do you have? cairo-dock --version [01:54] right now it sohws a blue border around the new size of the window, you list the mouse button and it goes to that size [01:54] how is it done with compiz? [01:54] hacktolive: you could run multiple X servers with startx -- :1 & startx -- :2 --- and yes, you'd switch among them using [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[F*] keys (or using the chvt command) [01:54] coz_ 2.0 [01:54] youwin, are you sure that is not compiz? [01:54] Jordan_U: interesting, thanks a lot [01:55] ericj: what does "dmesg tail" return? [01:55] i have the best appearance settings [01:55] ricree, hold tight [01:55] donavan01, ok you have to start cairo dock without opengl with an ati card right now [01:55] windows jiggle [01:55] hacktolive: or you could run Xnest or Xepher ... to run one X server in a window within another [01:55] EricJ1186: OK, do you remember where you put the nvidia driver installer? [01:55] donavan01, to do that by terminal the command is cairo-dock [01:55] donavan01, and could I see a screenshot of your pixelated icons? [01:55] can someone here help me with Firestarter setup? [01:55] no, I used envyng and it did it on it's own [01:55] donavan01, they should not be pixelated because they are all ... or should be.. svg [01:56] hacktolive: or you could configure a VNC server to run KDE or GNOME (and access that via a VNC viewer, which, of course, would run in a window under your other X [01:56] where can i find my grub config file? my windows doesnt show up on grub ;/ [01:56] is anyone using cedega and Ubuntu with the open source ati driver ? [01:56] oh sorry it IS compiz, I just put visual settings down to the bottom and it does resize like i want it to [01:56] ugh so i tried both swfdec and gnash, and i have to say while swfdec may seem more of a flash hack, it works better than gnash with flash videos and the such [01:56] hacktolive: you could even create a virtual machine ... and run the "other" environment there (again, connecting to it via a VNC viewer) [01:56] youwin, ok open ccsm and go to the window management category [01:57] youwin, then click on the resize window plugin to get into it's settings [01:57] ah ok, I needed to install the compiz configuration package [01:57] has anyone figured out how to put photos on the Nintendo DSi? [01:57] coz_ ... well I have tried changing to the non-open-GL and it seems to be a lot better and honestly I don't need the pretty stuff anyways ... give me a min and I will get you a screen shot [01:57] youwin, go to the general tab and under Default resize mode choose stretch but not normal that doesn work for anyone really [01:57] pw-toxic, /root/grub/menu.list [01:57] one thing I see is Clocksource unstable, but there is a lot of stuff before that [01:57] any idea? [01:57] EricJ1186: Still there? [01:57] !firestarter [01:57] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [01:57] Jordan_U, AnswerGuy: thanks for the good ideas, I really appreciate it [01:57] yeah [01:57] hacktolive: np [01:58] I wrote - Envyng did my driver [01:58] donavan01, ok [01:58] RHorse, thanks [01:58] so I have no idea where it installed it [01:58] does the print screen button give me a screen shot in ubuntu ? [01:58] yes [01:58] Speaking of virtual machines ... I've been following the HOWTO on running Ubuntu/KVM at http://www.howtoforge.com/virtualization-with-kvm-on-ubuntu-8.10-p2 [01:58] donavan01, and even more conviently, lets you save it [01:58] donavan01, yes and alt+printscreen gives a screenshot of the focused window only [01:58] hi people! I've installed ubuntu as dual boot to my cousin, but he, asshole, cannot use it.. so now I have to format it back to ntfs so that his goddamn windows could see it as an extra drive.. how would I do it, please somebody ) appreciate! [01:58] ... and I'm having one little problem ... they can't seem to connect to my local network! [01:58] ricree, have you tried this http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup also there is someone that comes here that seems to know a lot about pulse so if that does not fix it check back in here [01:59] any one know if I install Ubuntu on my Dell XPS M1730 Laptop Can I still get support from dell? [01:59] EricJ1186: Ok, run "sudo envyng" and procede to uninstall the driver === hacktolive is now known as hacktolive_out [01:59] why aren't some programs showing up in synaptic? [01:59] thank you for the help, chuck. I'll go take a look at it now [01:59] donavan01, if you are using compiz and have the screenshot plugin enabled just hold down super while you drag over what you want to screenshot [01:59] i'm pretty sure i enabled all the repositories [01:59] stuff like xchat and irssi is missing [01:59] whats a good log analyzer for UFW [01:59] I'm connected to them via their VNC servers (I've got two of them running) and everything looks fine [01:59] all right - how do I install the drivers I need to? [02:00] but they're showing up in the generic add/remove program [02:00] anyone know a good vmware help channel? [02:00] I presume I'm doing something wrong with the bridging [02:00] chaorain: Not official advice but I would assume that you would still get hardware support from Dell no matter what OS you use [02:00] thanks that was it [02:00] youwin, cool [02:01] that was a stupid question... forget about it.. i forget to put the # before vmware in my search.... [02:01] can someone here help me with Firestarter setup? [02:01] EricJ1186: No idea on that one, do you need 3D acceleration or just full resolution? [02:01] Jordan_U, you think it would still be under warranty? [02:01] both really [02:01] I wanted to get some games up/I have a guide on SLi in Linux [02:02] Can anyone offer some suggestions for troubleshooting that? [02:02] chaorain: I would expect so ( the harware warrentee, not any software warentee ). Call Dell support and ask [02:02] how to config gtk-recordMyDesktop soundboard? [02:02] junior_, soundboard? [02:02] ARGH i hate myself! [02:02] coz_ http://imagebin.ca/view/kSypLbA.html === No92 is now known as xcqte [02:03] so what can I do?

[02:04] donavan01, ok let me find an svg icon to replace that hold on [02:04] well, let me install my sound card drivers first [02:04] sorry [02:04] I'll get back to everyone when I do - thanks so much Jordan, I am finally able to see my GUI [02:04] chaorain: np [02:04] it ok, rsync seems to skip it [02:04] first i turned of my computer while upgrading til 09 making me have to install unbuntu with wubi in windows, but on a disk to f-ing small for my previos ubuntu disk so ive lost every thing i had while i stil have it >: d [02:04] i'm trying to help someone setup a Microsoft vpn connection and having trouble- i installed the network vpn plug-in for you ubuntu-but suspect i am missing something as it doesn't work.

[02:05] is anybody familiar with setting up a vpn with the vpn style connection? [02:05] does anyone know how i can mount a .disk file : ( [02:05] frog, use rsync with the check for newer file option: try man rsync [02:06] coz_ what about the applets like CPU or RAM on the side (not in the screenshoot) they are so pixelated it feels like im back in the days of windows 3.1 when I have them up .... is that the ATI issues you were talking about earlier?

[02:08] ati chipset and video card, opteron 185 processor [02:08] mgmuscari, I am not aware of it are you sure the video driver is installed correctly?

[02:08] chaorain: seriously? is there no way i can open it then and get my files out? [02:08] xcqte: What program created the .disk file? [02:08] coz_, the disk is blank, i wiped it and am doing a clean install [02:08] is it possible to change the icon in the top left corner of the screen [02:08] Jordan_U: wubi installer [02:08] or is that compiled in [02:08] mgmuscari, ooo and it is locking up?

[02:09] xcqte, if you made it what program did you use? [02:09] mgmuscari, understood but there is a check disk option when you start the disk up [02:09] mgmuscari, how much system memory do you have? [02:10] coz_ I am using the .icons folder I already have... got a ton of them in there ... but it didn't seem to change the look of it at all when I changed it ... I just copied the the existing launcher from the top menu should I have created a new one directly in cairo? [02:10] xcqte: Ahh, it's probably just an ext file system in a file then, have you tried "sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file.disk /mnt" ? [02:10] Anyone good with hellanzb installation, the peeps at the hella channel aren't answering me and I really need some help? [02:10] xcqte, Err I don't do windows so no idea. so the .disk file is the file the wubi created for ya. [02:10] can someone help [02:10] dooner: yes it is a virtual harddisk [02:10] coz_1: 1gb [02:11] donavan01, well did you right click that dock icon configure change locations? if so close the dock and reopen it to see if it is picking it up [02:11] I found a fix to a problem but when I reboot I have to reissue the command [02:11] Jordan_U: no im not so good at stuf like that ill check it out tho. give me a sec [02:11] xcqte: There is certainly a way to mount it, as it's mounted when you are running your wubi install [02:12] scott9876: depending on the command. you could put the command in /etc/rc.local as a 'fix' [02:12] yes it must sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file.disk /mntbut both ubuntu.com and google have failed me [02:12] donavan01, i tried that icon here is is working well [02:12] I just dd zero'd a brand new 1TB drive (used Gparted to format the drive - but the computer was set to AHCI - but that didn't work - 3 of 10 drives were "damaged" - once I switched to non-AHCI the rest of the drives formatted (ext3) without errors. I read that I might be able to reformat the drive if I zero it out first) - it took most of the day - the drive activity light just stopped - but... [02:12] ...the bash prompt has not returned - and I've read that I should not stop the process for fear of further damaging the drive and rendering it unusable. I have a few more cycles of this to do on this drive and the others as well - but I have no idea what to do now - should I continue to just wait? [02:12] woach it pasted in a sentence there im sorry [02:12] ugh [02:12] coz_ still not changing it ... I tried changing this to a completely different looking icon different name and it still stays as the same one [02:12] i give up on this stupid computer [02:12] coz_ could it be the theme I am using ? [02:12] maybe i'll just move all my music onto my laptop and sell the damned thing for parts [02:12] Dr_Willis: this is the command echo enable,0xffffffff | sudo tee /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkeyt [02:12] music is all i use the desktop for anymore anyway [02:13] donavan01, it's more than possible yes also [02:13] donavan01, it could be the config [02:13] xcqte, well it is a diskimage so you should be able to mount it. [02:13] scott9876: so put that command in /etc/rc.local befor the 'exit' line. (that is the last command of the file) [02:13] thanks coz_, i'm gonna give up on this POS for now [02:13] Anyone able to help a newbie out? [02:13] bye [02:13] donavan01, if you dont mind starting again go into /home/yourname/.config/cairo-dock/current theme === Uncle|Sam is now known as uncle|sam [02:13] xcqte, does it not boot anymore? [02:13] mgmuscari, ok [02:13] donavan01, then delete only the cairo-dock.conf file in there [02:13] donavan01, restart the dock and see if the icon changes [02:13] !ask | Twiddle [02:14] Twiddle: 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. :-) [02:14] hi people! I've installed ubuntu as dual boot to my cousin, but he, asshole, cannot use it.. so now I have to format it back to ntfs so that his goddamn windows could see it as an extra drive.. how would I do it, please somebody ) appreciate! [02:14] Dr_Willis: will that work for all users or just the one logged on [02:14] coz_ tried changing back to the default ... no go ... going to kill the .config now [02:14] dooner: indeed just need to know how but got an answer from jordan_u so i'll try that. no i messed up :/ [02:15] donavan01, ok [02:16] does anybody know how to tell what tabs are open in a firefox session using the command line? [02:16] Hi all. I've currently got Jaunty installed on my netbook. I'm going to install Windows 7 on my XP partition. Will this mess up my grub loadup? or will win7 not mess around with that [02:16] Trunkz, yes it might [02:17] coz_: would it be easy to rectify? [02:17] Trunkz, you will most likely have to reinstall grub via an ubuntu live cd [02:17] I've got an ubuntu live usb =p [02:17] Trunkz, trying to remember how hold on [02:17] Trunkz, most like it will. windows 7 creates a couple of partitions IIRC [02:17] (Using a samsung nc10, its optical drive-less) [02:17] what is a good log analyzer for UFW [02:17] Could anyone guess why a .config will allow me to change the settings when using gedit and to save my changes but when actually using the program, the program acts like I did not change anything and still runs the default config? [02:17] Twiddle: whats the program and where is the config? [02:18] it's hellanzb [02:18] dooner: eh lol.. why? [02:18] Trunkz, http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/132551/REINSTALL%20GRUB [02:18] coz_ tried that and still in the same place ... I think its something with the rendering ... even the names above the Icons are kinda fuzzy [02:18] !grub | Trunkz [02:18] Trunkz: 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 [02:18] i was planning to upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 but it says that there is no version of AMD 'fglrx' graphics driver available that works with my hardware and may reduce desktop effects and performance after upgrade. why does 9.04 doesn't support my hardware? [02:18] Twiddle: I'm not familiar with it.. but try dropping to a console and using sudo nano -w /path/to/config and see if that works for you [02:19] donavan01, ok go into home directory again under .config and delete the entire ciaro-dock folder after closeing the dock first [02:19] cos_ mind you that doesnt explain why I cant change the Icon on the windows logo though [02:19] okay [02:19] hi there [02:19] when I have a program crash in linux, I goto a diff terminal, and kill the process, but the process still shows in the ps -a list, and my tty7 window is still locked up with the program that crashed [02:19] are there other drivers in 9.04 that may support my hardware? [02:19] Trunkz, I not really sure actually. Some sort of recovery partition. I've removed it from my desktop so I can't look. and never bothered to install it on the netbook [02:19] I am trying to update to this one driver I have on my desktop [02:19] hey, there [02:19] alright. [02:19] gooody: ATI dropped support for your card in their newest proprietary driver and their older driver does not support the new Xorg in jaunty [02:19] donavan01, no it doesnt actually but again it may be the theme also you can meet me in #cairo-dock if you like [02:19] it's called NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.51-pkg1.run [02:19] how do I do that? [02:20] Jordan_U: nothing happened i wrote this: sudo mount -o loop /media/DATA/lolubuntu/disks/side.disk /mnt (i renamed root.disk to side.disk in windows) [02:20] the Nvidia site said to simply run sh [file name] [02:20] dooner: Not sure what I'll do now. I've got three partitions on there. Two NTFS (some crappy recovery partition that came with the netbook), the xp partition and the ubuntu partition [02:20] EricJ1186, well the repo one doesnt work? [02:20] gooody, ubuntu does support ati, ati is lagging in support for ubuntu and linux in general [02:20] gooody: You may be able to get 3D accelleration without fglrx though, try the jaunty liveCD [02:20] EricJ1186, no you cant just run the .sh [02:20] so what do I need to do? [02:20] Jordan_U: thanks for the reply [02:20] xcqte: Your image is now mounted to /mnt if there was no error [02:20] gooody: np [02:21] on boot I get an initramfs unknown target type message that just keeps incrementing in number to no avail.... fresh install of 9.04 -- dmraid is installed. [02:21] In the middle of burning a CD, I got an error. What i noticed what my ROM got unmounted. Now, I can't even get the cd out. Any way to remount? Don't feel like rebooting. [02:21] anyone help please [02:21] whats a good log file analyzer for UFW [02:21] EricJ1186, ok first sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` linux-source [02:21] treyh: cat + grep + a little awk [02:21] GNUix: a little awk? [02:21] Stepan1: did you try unmounting via GUI under the "computer" section ? [02:22] Trunkz, Well you can try. I never upgraded anything to win 7 (as I don't have any windows pcs :)). [02:22] Jordan_U: it is! oh, god thank you so much! [02:22] EricJ1186, tell me when that is finished installing [02:22] I type that all on one line, correct? [02:22] treyh: seriously.. look into ulog [02:22] coz_ no good still fuzzy and the cario seems to hate the windows Icon ... I think it knows [02:22] xcqte: np :) [02:22] Trunkz, I only installed it clean (workstation + vmware fusion image) [02:22] donavan01, doesnt make sense let me open my dock with just cairo-dock hold on [02:22] Jordan_U: so you suggest to run the live cd to determine if 3D acceleration works without the fglrx? [02:22] smerz: Just tried. Says unable to mount. No media in drive. [02:23] anyone in here having experience with the new linux drivers of creative x-fi soundcard? [02:23] i dont get it to work ;( [02:23] it loaded a bit then said "E: couldn't find package linux-headers-uname -r [02:23] donavan01, no its not that it looks fine here [02:23] I just installed my Creative X-Fi [02:23] Stepan1: it does not offer the unmount option? if so i'll get you the commandline command [02:23] EricJ1186, ok then install the other things [02:23] wait what? [02:23] I was replying to pw-toxic [02:24] smerz: thing is, it unmounted by itself. It just disappeared from the panel === asqwe is now known as kalakouentin [02:24] EricJ1186, oh ok please use nicks so we know who is talking to whom:) [02:24] EricJ1186, can you hear sound with your x-fi at the moment? [02:24] PW-toxic, go here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=976683; follow that topic to the T and you will be fine [02:24] haha, sorry [02:25] Stepan1: what does dmesg say? have you checked /media to see if its still mounted? what happens if you try to umount it from the command line? [02:25] donavan01, did you install this via the repository? [02:25] coz_, I ran that line, and it came back with this: E: couldn't find package linux-headers-uname -r [02:25] Stepan1: check whats your CD-rom by using "df" then "unmount /dev/hdX" could work, i'm not even sure [02:25] EricJ1186, right so install build-essential and linux-source [02:25] ah, separate things [02:25] sorry [02:26] GNUix: not sure what dmesg is, /media has cdrom, cdrom0, cdrom1. (i only have 2 drives) [02:26] EricJ1186, did the ubuntu repo glx driver not work? [02:26] is there a way to have rotating wallpapers, one per each desktop? [02:26] no [02:26] it crashed my Xserver [02:26] m0uSe with compiz yes [02:26] I could only boot into terminal tty1 after installing that, so Jordan helped me get out of it [02:26] coz_ followed the instruction from here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CairoDock the Repository section [02:26] Stepan1: "sudo eject -r" [02:27] m0u5e: not w/ gnome(unless you use compiz)... but w/ KDE it can work [02:27] IndyGunFreak: i am using compiz :D [02:27] i have done all those steps and i can choose create ALSA driver X-FI waveOut/WaveIn (ALSA) but when i put the "test" button i get an error: [02:27] Stepan1: run dmesg on the command line.. if the drive was unmounted it should show the message in there.. if not try umount /media/cdrom.. cdrom0,cdrom1 .. or get a paperclip [02:27] m0u5e: its an option in there somewhere...i don't use compiz, so not sure where [02:27] smerz: that ejected my second drive (with no cd in it) [02:27] coz_ think I should try the .deb files ? [02:27] GNUix: ulog will just put the logs into mysql and etc. I want a log file analyzer [02:27] audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample !gconfaudiosink: coult not open audio device for plaback. [02:27] IndyGunFreak: well theres a wallpaper option, but it wont let you auto-rotate after a period of time [02:27] donavan01, mm well either the deb pacakges or compile from svn [02:28] Okay, I have installed the build-essential and linux-source [02:28] donavan01, is this gnome? [02:28] coz_ yeah [02:28] donavan01, open system/preferences/administration/synaptic package maanger [02:28] smerz: output of df http://tinypaste.com/6b148 [02:28] m0u5e: ok... there was a program in the repositories that i installed (I think in 7.04) that did that [02:28] donavan01, click the Search button and type in cairo-dock [02:28] pw-toxic, I think I had that, what you have to do is once you install the drivers, select your sound card from the preferences>sound menu [02:28] treyh: not true.. ulog will log to whatever file/database you want in a format that readable. If you are looking for something to automaticly read your log files (not the greatest idea) you can look into ossec .. or just google iptables log analyizer [02:29] gooody: Yes, and maybe try some of the games you like if you have enough RAM to try them on the LiveCD as even with 3D support it will probably not be as fast as with fglrx ( though suspend and hybernate are more likely to work correctly without fglrx :) [02:29] donavan01, also are you using xchat?

[02:58] yeah [02:58] still there [02:58] ngabriel: thers a limit to the size and benifig.. use 1024 not 64meg :) [02:58] EricJ1186, mmm [02:58] PhotoJim: sorry, MB [02:58] nv nvidia_new, right? [02:58] ngabriel: using 64mb may be slowing things down [02:59] there are two lines of Disabled_modules though, is that right? [02:59] ngabriel, also what 2 devices are you going between? or is it same device? [02:59] Dr_Willis: also tried 32M [02:59] ok EricJ1186 did you answer me before when I asked why you didnt install the drivers from the repository? [02:59] dooner: two internal SATA drives [02:59] yeah, it caused this exact same problem [02:59] EricJ1186, oooo [02:59] ngabriel: bs over 1024 is rarely going to help much from what i read... [02:59] EricJ1186, then lets uninstall this driver first [02:59] okay [03:00] EricJ1186, sudo /usr/bin/nvidia-installer --uninstall [03:00] EricJ1186: Can you pastebin the output from "lspci" ? [03:00] how do I exit this screen [03:00] it says ^x [03:00] EricJ1186, which screen? [03:00] Dr_Willis: using 1024 gives ~14MB/s for me [03:00] Okay so i'm installing on an old P4 machine and it just keeps hanging on the same spot. The installation seems to be loading fine, until I get to see the background and I see the cursor. It just hangs there. is there a way to open a console at that point to see what's going on? [03:00] the nano screen [03:00] EricJ1186, ok ctrl+X [03:00] ngabriel, sata 300 drives? [03:00] Dr_Willis, i did notice that DMA is not enabled on the drivers [03:01] drives [03:01] KEROLiUKAS: ctrl + alt + F1 [03:01] how do I pastebin?

[03:17] EricJ1186, german ubuntu forum says "no 5.1" ;( it it seems that creative wont release further versions to support it ;( damnit... do you know a good soundcard with 5.1 with good drivers and some options?

Whenever anything plays, it gets real choppy and echoes whatever the last sound was [03:20] williamd: Actually I have done this: sudo chmod 777 * [03:21] chown, not chmod [03:21] williamd: It's too ugly.

[03:23] progre55: run fdisk (in Linux) ... and delete that partition. [03:23] storrgie: there are apps to copy 'dvd's out there they normally remove the encryption, or rip the thing to avi, then use devede to remake a dvd movie disk. (see k9copy program also) [03:23] ngabriel, it should only modify the partitions you have changed .

[03:24] Dr_Willis, in gnome what do you use to rip to avi from an encrypted dvd? [03:24] kiloblaster, i had the same problem with Warsow, a FTS [03:24] That should mean that MS Windows' FDISK.EXE wills see it as "available" --- so run that, make it an NTFS partition and the run the Windows disk management software on it. [03:24] pw-toxic: gets asked about once a week. :) [03:24] pw-toxic: make sure it is not locked into place [03:25] bastidrazor: i tend to use dvdrip, not used it in months however [03:25] Dr_Willis, there should be entry in the context menu..

[03:25] kiloblaster, i didnt, I removed it [03:25] which will dump the entire contents of a dvd on your hdd, allowing you to encode it with whatever app you like [03:25] pw-toxic: i think it used to be 'unlocked by default' and it was too easy to drag them around. :) the alt-key thing is also used to allow easier moving of windows.. so its worth rembering [03:25] handbrake is one app i really like for encoding [03:26] williamd: on the site they make you download a .bin... i chmod +x the file then launch it and the setup goes well [03:26] does ubuntu still come via Torrent? [03:26] or, you can use something like k9copy or dvd::rip for a all-in-one solution [03:26] KEROLiUKAS: there are torrents of the disk images. yes [03:26] Dr_Willis, a "press alt to enable drag&drop" would be enough in the preferences window ;) [03:26] point me in the right direction? [03:26] williamd: but at the endo of it you have to choose if you want to start the game, and when i click on "yes" nothing moves at all [03:27] kiloblaster, you did it correctly it seems, did you google it.

[03:39] jmspeex_: right click, or left click on the icon at the top right, rioght click gives one menu, left click gives a differnt one. [03:39] My problem is that I'm trying to use network-manager to configure my network and it it doesn't work at all. I can't even say what the exact problem is because everything fails silently. [03:39] * Gnea notes that pulse can be very impatient when it comes to networked sound [03:39] strangely enough, I can't upgrade from 2.2.0 to 2.2.2 === wenko3 is now known as ve7wnk [03:40] gn8 [03:40] Troy...i cant do that i have to remove the old 2.1.4 and install 2.2.2 [03:40] so if i save .vdi file upgrade and switch .vdi it will do the trick or? [03:40] Dr_Willis: yes, I can bring up those menus, as well as the config tool. I can then configure a lot of things that get ignored anyway [03:40] iluminator101: you should be able to back up the virtual disk file [03:40] can anyone help me with this unclean shut down error, right now it says /dev/sda2 contains a file system with errors, checked forced [03:41] iluminator: copy or read-only the vm folder [03:41] jmspeex_: no idea. all i ever have had to do to 'configure; is select the proper wireless network.. and fill in the blanks when it asked.

[03:44] is there a way for me to fix this "Duplicate or bad block in use!" issue? [03:44] i got a ton of extensions in firefox loaded and a lot of other stuff going on with the hard drives right now. (torrents, encrypting some stuff, encodding stuff. ) ff takes about 5 sec to get to the first page. [03:44] What is the latest version of wine? Because it says on there website that it's 1.1.21 but I also ahev ehard 1.1.5 [03:44] thee_: when is it slow? [03:44] Lyth: the ubuntu repos dont keep up to date with it.. If you want the latest use teh winehq reops [03:44] RHorse: No, I still have not succeeded at getting nm to do *anything* (not even print an error) [03:44] Dr_willis: I did [03:45] while starting also new tab function is slow [03:45] It gives me 1.1.21 [03:45] bummer [03:45] spartan2276 did you make even a minimal effort to google? [03:45] spartan2276 http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-35591.html [03:45] thee_: what part of it starting is slow? when it's actually appearing or when it's loading the homepage? [03:45] Lyth: theres proberly 'stable' vs 'testing' versions also.. [03:45] RHorse: I can get the network to work manually, but nm does nothing. It's like it doesn't even want to manage anything [03:45] I know, the testing version is 1.1.21, yet It seems as if 1.1.5 is earlier??? [03:45] ugh... has anyone experienced system lockup when using D-Link pci wireless adapters in jaunty? [03:46] oh, so you can connect? [03:46] D-Link DWA-552 [03:46] well good night all. [03:46] ofx, I use a 3g sierra usb modem plugged it in and it just worked [03:46] RHorse: if I couldn't connect, you wouldn't see what I'm currently typing [03:46] when i lower the opacity of the background of bottom panel (taskbar) everything is fine except the selected tasks dont have transparent background, how can i 'fix' this [03:46] jmspeex_: What version of Ubuntu? [03:46] Jordan_U: Jaunty [03:46] chuck_, uhmm arn't u using wvdial to dial out ? [03:46] jmspeex_, well, then I'd do it manually :) [03:46] Gnea , anyway.. fuck it , thnks.. [03:46] thats it [03:46] ubuntu hates me [03:46] it hates me [03:46] IT HATES ME [03:46] RHorse: well, it's a laptop, so manual config sucks [03:46] bostwick: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:47] yea, it's not *that* bad :) [03:47] jmspeex_: Shouldn't be a problem with jaunty but try renaming your /etc/networking/interfaces [03:47] Still, why the hell isn't nm doing anything [03:47] thee_: I'm trying to help, it's insulting that you ask for help, start to get it, and then don't even follow through with it. anyway, good luck. [03:47] :| [03:47] RAGEQUIT [03:47] Jordan_U: renaming to what? [03:47] how about this [03:48] How can I help you? [03:48] anybody experience jaunty freezing with atheros-based wifi cards? [03:48] mgmuscari, freezing how so? [03:48] ofx, nope network manager used mobile broadband and set it up asked me my carrier and configured eveything [03:48] complete system lockup [03:48] mgmuscari, basically no, [03:48] jmspeex_, does nm see your nic? Wired || Wireless ? [03:48] i have no sound after installed ubuntu 804 [03:48] jmspeex_: Anything, ifupdown used to conflict with network-manager and nm now tries to parse an existing interfaces file, I am hoping it's a bug trying to get a configuration from that file [03:48] !sound | seon [03:48] dooner: how can I tell if it sees it? [03:48] seon: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [03:48] i'm getting a lot of google hits on this issue but no solutions [03:49] mgmuscari, I salute your google-foo [03:49] Hi, whenever I try to play something with "Movie Player" the player closes right after it opens. What can I do? [03:49] mgmuscari, haven't had it freeze, but have had it wig out on WPA2-Enterprise before [03:49] jmspeex_: So without a file at /etc/network/interfaces I am hoping it will work, it's just a hunch [03:49] at least your not lazy [03:49] Hi guys. [03:49] dooner: that's exactly the problem i'm having [03:49] HazRPG, shoot [03:49] when i lower the opacity of the background of bottom panel (taskbar) everything is fine except the selected tasks dont have transparent background, how can i 'fix' this [03:49] dooner: in fact it was fine until i put in my wpa2 key [03:49] Jordan_U: OK, let me try [03:50] Currently at stage 7/7 on the ubuntu 9.04 installer. [03:50] I thought I'd drop by and say stardict rocks! [03:50] mgmuscari, WPA2 enterprise or Personal? [03:50] ofx, one of the pleasant surprises in ubuntu [03:50] dooner: now i can't start the system (automatically tries to connect). i would remove the card but i can't find a freaking screwdriver >:( [03:50] dooner: personal, actually [03:50] clicked advanced... [03:50] I have an issue with my network manager. I disabled my wireless on network manager temporarily so that I could connect via ethernet. After I was done, and re-enabled wireless, I am no longer able to detect wireless networks. I have just recently upgraded to Jaunty from Intrepid (32 bit) [03:50] but where shall I install the boot loader (GRUB) to? [03:50] I can go to a chinese web page and it pops up the english definitions from within firefox. [03:50] chuck_, it works for me too, but im getting disconnected after a while... [03:50] mgmuscari, hmm I've not had that problem with personal (currently using an atheros card in my netbook in Jaunty) [03:50] vesayth, weird [03:50] It even shows the pinyin pronounciation. [03:50] Jordan_U: rebooting... let's see if that does anything [03:51] Hi, whenever I try to play something with "Movie Player" the player closes right after it opens. What can I do? [03:51] ofx, it's pretty wierd [03:51] dooner: perhaps because this is a PCI card in a desktop. it's a d-link dwa-552 [03:51] brb [03:51] Drewsef - open it from an xterm and see if it gives any output error msgs. [03:51] vesayth, if you "just" updated, run a few more updates and refreshes, and then reboot? [03:51] chuck_, it's pretty wierd, in windows works with no problems, so it's not the carrier [03:51] Drewsef - also you can sudo apt-get install strace and strace mplayer or whatever player you are using. [03:51] I have created a /boot partition, so should I just leave it as (hd0) or shall I select /dev/sda2 where /boot was defined? [03:52] mindrape: Thanks, I'll see if I can figure out what xterm is and how to use it. [03:52] mgmuscari, not really sure, mine when it would wig out, didn't cause the OS to lock/panic. would just drop the connection. [03:52] Drewsef - Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal [03:52] found a screwdriver... [03:52] yeah, this is hard locking the system [03:52] light on the card turns off [03:52] mindrape: Ok I should have know thats what you were referring to. :) [03:52] !info gnome-terminal [03:52] gnome-terminal (source: gnome-terminal): The GNOME 2 terminal emulator application. In component main, is optional. Version 2.26.0-0ubuntu2 (jaunty), package size 107 kB, installed size 356 kB [03:52] When that happened to me, Drewsef, it was because it couldn't grab enough video memory [03:53] jmspeex_, if you click on NM does it show you cards :) [03:53] JustSomething: You might be on to something, although VLC will play the files, but no sound [03:53] I closed some apps, cut down on my virtual desktops, and Movie Player (and VLC) started working again [03:53] RHorse: hey u there...it didn't work [03:53] I also turned off a huge background image I had. [03:54] ofx, There might be an option in network manager about disconnect when idle am on my desktop now laptop is not here so cannot check for you [03:54] I'm having trouble with sound; I can play the example files, but not internet radio === ripps_ is now known as ripps [03:54] i have a gateway, can i use [03:54] i have a question [03:54] I am having sound and video card issues; can anyone help me out? [03:54] how to change the size of swap [03:54] hey all [03:54] well [03:54] dooner, Jordan_U: Ok, so removing /etc/network/interfaces means that nm now sees my nics [03:54] trying with an older wifi G card [03:55] how can I configure the connections now? [03:55] my burner is writing really slowly under ubuntu, like .8 x slowly, is there something that i need to do like enable dma or the like? [03:55] chuck_, i can do it... let's see [03:55] Actually, I see ways to configure connections, but not to enable/disable them [03:55] mindrape: This is the output : http://pastebin.com/m40f0d5bf [03:55] who can tell me how to change the size of swap [03:55] jmspeex, right click -> edit connections? [03:56] Yeah, line 6 says "insufficient resources," Drewsef [03:56] ok, so? [03:56] Can I fix this? [03:56] That's the "not enough video memory" problem, I think [03:56] it closes when I try to play mp3's too [03:57] I'll see if the error is the same [03:57] wangkeke, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [03:57] Try closing all your other apps, browsers, and turn off your background image, and set your virtual workspaces to just 1 or two [03:57] wangkeke: You can resize your swap partition from a liveCD with gparted [03:57] JustSomething: I guess I have a vid card I can install. :) [03:57] i like ubuntu ;) [03:58] mindrape: what does it mean when you have a bad blocks? [03:58] trying to install Ubuntu /Xubuntu.. tried safe graphics mode... screen goes to cursor then blank [03:58] I can listen to internet radio through Rhythmbox, but not through Firefox. Help? [03:58] hey all [03:58] I've got a crappy 64Meg video card, Drewsef, so I had this problem with almost any program that displayed video [03:58] mindrape: is that something that can just be removed from the system [03:58] wangkeke, assuming you want to add, you can use a swap file (there is a howto on the like I pasted) [03:58] dooner, Jordan_U: OK, let's see if a secured connection works (disconnecting) [03:59] spartan2276 it means you have to run fsck to fix it. It happens... [03:59] JustSomething: Ok, going to install this vid card. hope things are cleared up. thanks [03:59] spartan2276 its not a file so much as a filesystem operation that probably failed. [03:59] mindrape: I have been running ubuntu since 7.04 and this has never happened to me before [03:59] guys anyone with wireless issues experience? since i upgraded to jaunty i can't connect to wireless networks...i can see them but can't connect... [03:59] spartan2276 just follow the instructions in that link I sent you and you'll be sound as a pound. [03:59] spartan2276 I've been using linux for 10 years and its happened to me once or twice. Its pretty rare but happens. [04:00] Haris_Amin its likely your wireless driver isnt working. [04:00] Haris_Amin, which wireless driver? [04:00] Hi, I uninstalled kdm, but Ubuntu still tries to run it at startup, how do I get it to just use gdm? [04:00] mindrape: but it was working before the upgrade.... its ipw2200 which i think should be supported by default [04:00] Haris_Amin pull up a terminal and type sudo iwconfig sudo iwlist scan sudo lspci -v (this will show what driver you're using) or sudo lshw -C network [04:00] klaid: sudo dpgk-reconfigure gdm [04:01] ah, ok, thank you [04:01] klaid: np [04:01] trying to install Ubuntu /Xubuntu.. tried safe graphics mode... screen goes to cursor then blank [04:01] dooner: mindrape the ipw2200 is for the inte pro wireless card mine is 2915abg [04:01] Haris_Amin - pastebin the output from all those commands. [04:01] Haris_Amin - have you googled for known issues w that card after an upgrade? [04:02] hmm, I made my first security upgrade with the gui tool, and now gnome-panel and metacity does not start on boot :) [04:02] mindrape: i have been nothing yet...i'm sure of what driver i'm using ...used lshw do figure that out [04:02] Jordan_U, dooner: OK, so WPA appears to work now. but it's weird that nm is showing my AP both as secured and unsecured [04:02] mindrape: i'm currently booting form my windows partition so i can't just pastebin the outputs right now [04:02] Haris_Amin - it looks like sudo apt-get remove linux-backports-modules may fix it. [04:03] nvm, sorted it lol. [04:03] mindrape: realy...where did u see that? [04:03] I'm running the Xubuntu 8.10 Live CD, but it isn't showing my NTFS Windows XP Pro SP2 drive. How can I access it? [04:03] Haris_Amin - google. [04:03] jmspeex_: Might just be "memory" of the past network when it was unsecured, nm leaves old networks shown for a while after they go out of range in case it's just temporary [04:03] mindrape: can u paste me the links plz? [04:04] mindrape: k, started running fsck -rfv /dev/sda2 and it found multiply blocks [04:04] Here is my situation: I'm doing a reset of Ubuntu and Windows due to small but annoying problems such as the scroll section of the mouse pad on my laptop not working. So I deleted my ubuntu partition so I could reset Windows using a tool provided by Dell, but now I'm getting an error 22 grub message. I have a 1.5gb ext2 partition available to reinstall grub, but I'm not sure of the commands.... [04:04] ...It has the same name as the old ubuntu one (sda4) [04:04] rying to install Ubuntu /Xubuntu.. tried safe graphics mode... screen goes to cursor then blank [04:04] I already closed the browser... just google your driver, card model, and ubuntu === ubuntu__ is now known as calebh === calebh is now known as calebah [04:04] mindrape: thanks [04:05] np [04:05] well [04:05] hello everyone [04:05] hi varun [04:05] hello [04:05] i guess i'll forget about the nice expensive wifi-N card and go back to G... [04:05] Kai_wp: There is probably a GUI way to do it, but from the terminal you can run "sudo fdisk -l", find the device name of your NTFS drive ( /dev/sdXX ) then run "sudo mount /dev/sdXX /mnt" [04:05] why ubuntu don't have vpn pptp support in network-manager ? [04:05] goodbye room [04:05] (changed nick from ubuntu__) I'm on a hardy live cd right now [04:05] cause* [04:05] hey I posted a problem but did not get anything about it [04:05] could some one help [04:06] Classic or mindrape [04:06] whats ur problem [04:06] what was the Q? repost [04:06] ok [04:06] 50 gigs and just ubuntu intrepid on it.I used 10gigs for the the files and then used 20 gigs for another partiotion and left the rest for later use.I then later formatted the leftover and mounted it using partition editor gui.Now I have three partitions as u can well understand .The problem is that the amount of space occupied in the third partition which is 7.6 gb now is also showing as the used up space in the ubuntu installed 10 gig [04:06] varun - df -h [04:06] I have just one hard drive [04:07] Why can I listen to internet radio through Rhythmbox but not Firefox?

[04:10] mindrape: ok [04:10] how do I install the kde login manager [04:10] varun, better use paste.ubuntu.com [04:10] bloie: what's wrong with GDM? and sudo apt-get install kdm [04:10] or how do i change my loging screen on kde [04:10] calc - I'm the Linux/MVS mindrape that works in security. [04:10] I have KDE [04:10] /etc/kde.conf [04:10] mindrape: ah ok [04:10] ttmrichter: it may be due to the fact that squid will proxy http application layer traffic... and not just a generic TCP connection, specifically SSH. [04:11] trying to install Ubuntu /Xubuntu.. tried safe graphics mode... screen goes to cursor then blank.. can someone help [04:11] mindrape: i used to do emu/mp3 stuff way back then, now I do OOo [04:11] ;) [04:11] this channel moves to fast for me... i can't keep up [04:11] ttmrichter: you may have some luck tunneling ssh through an HTTP tunnel...

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [04:12] hmm that reminds me i need to fix the openoffice.org packaging in the ppa tomorrow [04:12] you basically copy paste your output from console on that site and give us a link [04:12] ttmrichter: is squid proxying port 22? [04:12] This is a configuration I've used before on someone else's box, but that person is incommunicado so I'm trying it on a VPS of my own.

[04:13] Jeepste1, ok and then type that command [04:13] Kr0ntab: Why would it? I'm tunnelling local 8080 to remote 8080. Squid shouldn't see 22 at all. [04:13] what's the command to install the kde login manager [04:13] how do i disable join/parts i am using xchat [04:13] Could I harm the files on my NTFS Windows XP Pro SP2 HD by running the commands "sudo fdisk -l" and "sudo mount /dev/sdXX /mnt" to mount it on my XUbuntu Live CD? [04:13] screen is blank RHorse [04:14] no cursor.. nothing RHorse [04:14] ttmrichter: perhaps I was assuming something about your question. I thought you are on a host behind a squid proxy... intercepting port 22 traffic. [04:14] Kai_wp: probably not, and you should be able to access the NTFS partition anyway, as long as Windows shut it down properly [04:14] ctl + alt + F2 doesn't work? [04:14] no it doesn`t [04:14] mindrape: hmm istr the 'other' one doing security related stuff wrt DC ;-) [04:15] ctl + alt + F3? [04:15] smilingbob, right click channel name ->settings [04:15] Kr0ntab: I'm behind the Great Firewall and need to tunnel past it to see the web unhindered. My method of choice is using SSH as a tunnel so that I access localhost:8080 as a proxy and it tunnels through SSH to a remote server under my control at 8080, which happens to be a squid proxy. [04:15] theres very little left online now about what DC did other than emu though now, seems to have fairly well scrubbed from the net [04:15] not that either RHorse [04:15] calc - who knows anymore... last I heard he was unemployed living up in North Phoenix. [04:15] dooner: not seeing that [04:15] Kr0ntab: I know the technique itself works because I've been using it for years. But my service provider has gone west and I have to set this up myself. [04:16] mindrape: ok [04:16] It isn't working. :) [04:16] yes me too [04:16] dooner, thanks I was trying to find that for him since I was the one that suggested he turn off joins/parts, but couldn't find the setting :D [04:16] Jeepste1, there's nothing you can do unless you can type commands. [04:16] Jeepste1: at what point did it turn black? before grub, before loading screen, before login, before desktop? [04:16] <_Brun0_> Can I prevent menus to show on mouse_down but on mouse_click instead? [04:16] sebsebseb: Strangely I cannot access it from the LiveCD. It was properly shut down before as far as I remember. I'll try those commands, thanks! :D [04:16] * calc is surprised he wasn't arrested for some of the bigger proprietary source code leaks he managed to be involved with [04:16] smilingbob, in the left side of xchat do you see the word #Ubuntu? right click it [04:17] can't install flashplugin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/174020/ ¿can anyone help me?, i am on intrepid [04:17] Kai_wp: wait no [04:17] how can I get a list of files that were installed by a package? [04:17] eseven73: yes and i did right click but their is no settings choice [04:17] Kai_wp: can you get into it from computer or whatever you got on Xubuntu? [04:17] Kai_wp: or /media or /mnt ? [04:17] zhobbs_, try apt-cache shoe package [04:17] Hello, I'm not getting any audio with 9.04 that I just installed. Is there a way to trouble shoot this problem? [04:17] ienorand: it turned black after starting the install screen where the moving orange line is.. it went to a cursor, then nothing [04:17] zhobbs_, try apt-cache show package [04:17] smilingbob, are you using xchat or xchat-gnome or is it gnome-xchat I cant remember which [04:18] sounds like you're using the gnome version [04:18] zhobbs_, oh sorry that's not right [04:18] sebsebseb: I checked in /mnt and /media, they're both empty. [04:18] xchat gnome i think [04:18] yea uninstall that [04:18] http://grayhoods.org [04:18] hello mindrape and classic ---http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/174024/ [04:18] and my mouse just died so i won't be doing any right clicking on any thing lol [04:18] hi using 9.04 ubuntu now but cant get sound to work. the panel shows sb live audigy alsa etc and sounds unmuted and turned up. but still hear no sound. is there some kind of bug or something I can do to fix it? [04:18] zhobbs_, I think maybe dpkg can do this [04:18] RHorse: yeah, lots of info in there, but no file list [04:18] Jeepste1: do ctrl+alt+del or alt+sysreq+r+s+e+i+u+b to restart machine (if that fails hard reset), checked the CD? [04:18] smilingbob, install the real xchat if you can, sudo apt-get install xchat [04:19] the gnome xchat blows [04:19] can't do nothing but type in this box at the moment [04:19] i did not realize there was more then one [04:19] zhobbs_ - dpkg -L pkgname [04:19] Drewsef: Try running "alsamixer -c 0" and make sure all of the levels are turned up [04:19] Hello, I'm not getting any audio with 9.04 that I just installed. Is there a way to trouble shoot this problem? [04:19] Jordan_U: Thanks [04:19] what is the shortcut for terminal? [04:19] mindrape: thanks [04:19] zhobbs_, hold it there's a command that will do that, but I forgot what it is! [04:20] smilingbob, Applications>Add/Remove then search for xchat [04:20] I`ve tried several CDs [04:20] sebsebseb: So don't use those commands? [04:20] lol i can't i need a mouse [04:20] Jordan_U: They are all up into the red level [04:20] RHorse: dpkg -L [04:20] Ah, I knew it! [04:20] Kai_wp: they would probably be ok, but as long as you shut Windows down properly, you should just be able to access it from Ubuntu/Xubuntu [04:20] smilingbob, try alt+tab key to get to a terminal [04:21] Drewsef: Any of them have "MM" at the bottom? [04:21] yes [04:21] Drewsef: That means they are muted, use the "M" key to unmute them [04:21] got it thanks [04:21] u can do anything on keybaord that u can on mouse [04:21] np [04:21] Fudge: i am sure you can, but i am not that smart yet lol [04:21] ttmrichter: sorry about that. So does your firewall allow outbound SSH? ANd if so... are you making a successful connection to the SSH server [04:22] Fudge - right click the desktop background? [04:22] smilingbob, you can alt+tab to different windows without a mouse, but what's wrong with your mouse? [04:22] Fudge, like 10X *more* [04:22] varun, what was the problem/ [04:22] i changed my uid to 501. how do i revert it back to 1001? [04:22] the batteries died [04:22] ah [04:22] well Fudge is correct [04:22] and i don't have a spare [04:22] you don't need one [04:22] mindrape you can still get to that dialog through display settings [04:22] actually i did, but they where not charged either [04:22] varun, you basically have 5 partitions [04:22] Jordan_U: Ok unmuted but no change [04:22] just a sec first tell me how to slow down this channel a bit I have xchat [04:23] this is just too fast for me [04:23] varun: you can't just slow it down [04:23] see anywhere #ubuntu? [04:23] Fudge - well lets correct what you meant then... you can perform any function with keyboard that you can w mouse. Actually doing ANYTHING w the keyboard that you would w mouse isnt always possible. :) [04:23] varun: i had the same problem [04:23] sebsebseb: The last time I used it it was attempting to reboot, but I chose to boot Windows into safe mode instead, where it couldn't boot, so I did a hard shut down. Couild that be why? [04:23] varun, right click the word #Ubuntu you can turn off joins/part messages [04:23] Drewsef: Do you get any error when you try the audio test in System > Preferences > Audio ? [04:23] can I see only u guys i.e the ones I am currently talking to [04:24] Kai_wp: there's a way to force mount a NTFS, but shoudn't really need to do that, as long as you shut down Windows propelry [04:24] varun, the tab #Ubuntu I should say or tree, whatever [04:24] How do i pm u [04:24] Jordan_U: sound? [04:24] !PM [04:24] Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [04:24] varun /msg nickname your message here [04:24] ok so i have been dual booting vista and ubuntu for a while, and know have ran into grub error 17 [04:24] Drewsef: Yes, remembered wrong :) [04:24] varun, if you turn off joins/parts it really helps [04:24] I have done that [04:24] im sure you cuold e.g on widnows shift f10 right clicks where the pointer is [04:24] Jordan_U: How long do let it test? [04:24] and tried to reinstall grub like i did when windows wiped it out, but that didnet work [04:24] ok [04:25] hello [04:25] so i was thinking about doing a fresh install of grub, but can seem to find how to do this, any help? [04:25] mib_y8tzye: Can you mount your Ubuntu partition from a LiveCD? [04:25] !grub | mib_y8tzye [04:25] mib_y8tzye: 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 [04:25] Jordan_U: Maybe I need some sound drivers that aren't provided with ubuntu? [04:25] i have ubuntu as internet gateway and two other computers as windows xp hosts. is there a way i could monitor their website browsing? [04:26] whou - yes. Easiest is to probably use a webproxy. [04:26] okay i have xchat now [04:26] and a working mouse [04:26] Jordan_U: with AlsaMixer the headphone volume that was muted, I unmuted, but I can't turn it up like the rest [04:27] mindrape ok i so setup the webproxy on my ubuntu machine? [04:27] Drewsef: Possible, but Ubuntu seems to at least think it has drivers for your device or it wouldn't show controlls. Do you have more than one card? ( and I missed your answer about any erros from the sound test ) [04:27] Kr0ntab: I'm administering the machine with SSH, so yeah, SSH is not a problem. [04:27] yes whou [04:27] can someon tell me how i can permanently mount a ntfs hdd into my home folder? [04:27] whou: it depends on which proxy you use [04:27] I am connected via SSH. The "ssh -L blah" command line is working. [04:27] whou: do you want to filter, or just monitor? [04:27] It's the proxying that's failing with channel 3: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed [04:27] !proxy [04:27] Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as !TOR and web (Java, etc) gateways due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks. If you're using mibbit, please try joining #ubuntu again. Mibbit takes a long time to connect, so you may have missed a message to do this. [04:27] so how do i slow this thing down [04:27] I am out [04:27] !fstab | pw-toxic [04:27] pw-toxic: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [04:28] Jordan_U: No, just on board sound. I didn't see any errors with the test. I wasn't sure which interfaces to test, or how long to wait though. [04:28] lstarnes: the users who are connected to me. to monitor their net traffic, ie. browsing, bittorrent, downloads, etc [04:28] smilingbob: right click my #ubuntu link and turn off join and part messages or whatever that guy was saying, I use Konversation :) [04:28] whou: using a webproxy would be best for web/http monitoring [04:28] sebastien, i do not see it anywere... [04:29] whou - it may be a bit overkill but something to possibly consider would be PacketFence... http://www.packetfence.org/en/home.html [04:29] ? [04:29] whou: however, traffic on other protocols might not be monitored as well as http [04:29] 有人在线不？ [04:29] tried a different CD and CD_ROM .. tried Ctrl+Alt+F1.. now have out of range on monitor [04:29] Drewsef: Ok, try alsmixer with no options ( which should show one channel, from pulseaudio ) [04:29] lstarnes mindrape thanks a lot :) ive just gotten my ears wet with ip masquerading and just recently set up my lan [04:30] !cn | lijunchen [04:30] lijunchen: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [04:30] whou: is there any particular reason why you need this? there may be a better solution [04:30] whou - they have a VM appliance of packetfence if you just wanna give it a spin. [04:30] <_Brun0_> Can I change popup menus to show only on mouse_click instead of mouse_down also? [04:30] lijunchen: Many guys are arround here:) [04:30] lijunchen, #ubuntu-cn [04:30] lstarnes: basically to monitor the users usage of bandwidth [04:31] lijunchen: Besides the bot that just talked to you:) [04:31] Anyone knows how to get WPA to work in Hardy? [04:31] (I got my Jaunty machine to work, but Hardy doesn't show a WPA option, just WEP) [04:31] I installed wpasupplicant [04:31] Jordan_U: Looks the same now to me, same amount of channels afaict [04:32] trying to install Ubuntu /Xubuntu.. tried safe graphics mode... screen goes to cursor then blank.. changed CD and CDRom now have flashing out of range on monitor [04:32] eseven73: How do you know that guy's saying Chinese? [04:32] Drewsef: Try the audio test with "ALSA" selected instead of "Automatically Detected" [04:33] well it sure looked like chinese to me was I wrong? [04:33] eseven73, it was Chinese [04:33] llml his name is also chinese [04:33] eseven73: Nop, hehe. You are right:) [04:33] Jeepste1: sounds like a possible graphics card issue [04:33] this terminator thing is so cool. but a little bit slow [04:34] what do I do about that sebsebseb [04:34] Jordan_U: I started scrolling to the right more under the alsamixer, I see IEC958. It has different options such as A/D conv, and AC link. Is this important? [04:34] whou: Yep, sounds logical:) [04:34] Jeepste1: did you see anything in Ubuntu? [04:34] mindrape, hey its me haris...i'm on ethernet right now...i was talking to u earlier about ipw2200 [04:34] no, it never even got to the desktop to install sebsebseb [04:35] bazhang: Guess you a Chinese :) [04:35] Jeepste1: ah ha the Live CD you mean? [04:35] Drewsef: I don't know [04:35] yes sebsebseb.. I`ve tried several [04:35] Jordan_U: ok testing. [04:35] Jeepste1: you got an Intel graphics card? [04:35] under sound playback option [04:35] no its a Geforce 6200a [04:36] Jeepste1: a new Nivida card you mean? [04:36] yes sebsebseb [04:37] Jeepste1: maybe it's to new, and so problems. or your Ubuntu ISO was bad all along, or you need to burn it slower [04:37] Jordan_U: it isn't showing any errors, and its continuing to test indefinitely it seem. [04:37] I have a few more CDS here should I try them all sebse [04:37] Jeepste1: you can check the ISO that it's good [04:37] !md5sum [04:37] To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [04:38] Jordan_U: Looks like I should just buy a sound card? [04:38] Drewsef: If there would be errors they would show up immediately, and if it worked you'd hear a tone [04:38] Jordan_U: OK, no errors, no tone. [04:38] Jeepste1: make sure the ISO is good [04:39] I can`t get a command line on that PC to do it sebseb [04:39] Jeepste1: you don't need one [04:39] Jeepste1: there are programs for Windows [04:40] Drewsef: I am not sure what the problem is, you might be able to find more information by running "lspci" and googling for the line pertaining to your sound card, sorry I couldn't be more help [04:40] Jordan_U: Thanks I'll take a look. :) [04:41] can you point me to one sebsebseb [04:42] Jeepste1: I would use this old program http://www.md5summer.org yes the beta from 2006, then you virfy the ISO in it, and get a code which you compare to the code on http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/MD5SUMS [04:42] Jordan_U : In case your interested. http://pastebin.com/m4a4bf77a [04:42] Jeepste1: the codes need to be the same a match, for a good download [04:43] I don`t have 9.04 sebsebseb [04:43] Jeepste1: which version? [04:43] I have a few 7.04. 7.10.8.04, 8.10 [04:44] Jeepste1: hummm and none of those versions will work? [04:44] Jeepste1: 7.04 and 7.10 are no longer supported on the desktop [04:45] some I haven`t tried on the CDROM.. I`ll try a couple more [04:45] OK. I've searched the forums and can't find an answer to this. For some reason, everytime I try to boot Ubuntu 9.04, I get an "Gave up waiting for root device" error and I can't seem to fix it. [04:46] using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS & Xchat 2.8.4 I can get all other IRC servers to accept auto-login except for freenode this happens on Ubuntu & Xp Pro on multiple computers is there a known bug or issue and if its a known issue with freenode how can it be fixed [04:46] Jeepste1: ok [04:46] Jordan_U: Looks like I may not be the only one with problems related to this audio chip [04:46] hey i have a n00b question... is this the place to ask them? [04:47] unikon: ok your issue isn't Ubuntu specific, try #freenode [04:47] Jar, I am guessing but it may be a formatting error no root system... [04:47] I just freshly reformatted my HDD and installed Ubuntu.. ? [04:47] Should I try reinstalling maybe? [04:48] Jar: could do yeah [04:48] sebsebseb thanks for responding have you noticed anything of that nature on your end or have you heard of this issue before [04:48] unikon: no and no [04:48] unikon: #freenode is the best place for that issue [04:49] unikon: since you said XP and Ubuntu [04:49] hey guys [04:49] sebsebseb: no, it's an xchat issue [04:49] anyone here have experience with ipw2200 driver in jaunt [04:49] jaunty? [04:49] unikon: hummm seems Istarnes may know something [04:49] sebsebseb: L [04:50] ok L [04:50] istarnes have you heard of a issue like i stated [04:50] ok sebsebseb I have 8.10 coming up in low graphics mode [04:50] lstarnes: Xchat issues hum well then Konversation even more :) and yes I use Konversation [04:50] um... how do you get pidgin to NOT to run?

[04:51] rhinoponomous: make sure you close it before logging out [04:51] can someone plz help me...i upgraded to jaunty and can't connect to any wireless networks anymore [04:51] !wireless | RORgasm [04:51] RORgasm: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [04:51] unikon=> there is a problem with the freenode server, i canno't even change my nick [04:51] it is running where my shut down button used to be... is there a way to make it not do that? [04:51] (n00b alert here) [04:51] on the network list-freenode-nickserv pw [04:51] bonobo: which nick are you changing to? [04:51] sebsebseb, i've gone through that... i dunno what to do now [04:52] unikon: for freenode, try using your nickserv password as the server password instead [04:52] RORgasm: is there a wireless issue of some kind mentioned in the release notes don't think so [04:52] !notes [04:52] Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) release notes can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/ReleaseNotes [04:52] sebsebseb, i can see connections just fine...but when i try to connect nothing happens and then i get prompted for passwords again [04:52] ok will try [04:52] t_opol, but it reads cannot send to channel so cannot change nicl [04:52] *nick [04:52] bonobo: what channels are you in? [04:52] is upgrading libc a big deal? basically, I'm running dapper, and need to install a deb from jaunty...but it requires libc >= 2.8 [04:52] rhinoponomous: try in the pidgin menu: Buddies -> Quit [04:52] RORgasm: I guess for some reason you need to get it set up some how. I am hard wired I don't use, slow, not that secure, wireless :) [04:53] just ubuntu, 's english french german and russian [04:53] sebsebseb, so u have no idea?

[04:54] i autohid my gnome panel. how do I make it show instantly when my mouse hovers on it? [04:55] RORgasm, You will be better at Ubuntu forums. Wireless can be a real bitch sometimes [04:55] RORgasm: there is something wireless in the release notes, but not sure if that applys to you [04:55] indeed at the second part joot said [04:56] !language | joot [04:56] joot: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [04:56] it wasn't that bad, but anyway :d [04:56] sebsebseb, ll [04:56] joot: what? [04:57] sebsebseb, just lol [04:58] zhobbs_: Yes, it's a very big deal. If you really need it you might want to create a chroot [04:58] joot: ok [04:58] I need help on two things [04:58] ok just tell us what they are [04:58] Jordan_U: I should probably do a dist-upgrade right? [04:59] rhinoponomous: no problem ;) [04:59] !ask | ericj11861 [04:59] ericj11861: 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. :-) [04:59] First, I updated my sound drivers, but I still have no sound in everything except Pidgen [04:59] zhobbs_: Yes, ( with update-manager or do-release upgrade, not apt-get dist-upgrade ) [04:59] joot: sound issues that's another one that can be a real you know what [04:59] EricJ1186, did you get X working with drivers? [05:00] the other one is related to my video cards, but I think the sound one would be easier [05:00] sebsebseb, xactly [05:00] no, I had to uninstall the drivers [05:00] joot: and video card issues [05:00] ok [05:00] sebsebseb, mainly ati cards [05:00] EricJ1186, did you try drivers from nvidias site [05:00] Jordan_U: ok...thanks [05:01] ericj11861: probably both won't be that easy, and I can't exactly help with both issues anyway [05:01] Classic, the Nvidia site drivers did the same thing [05:01] seb, thanks anyway! [05:01] ericj11861: however normalley you try the nivida driver that's in the repo, and as a last resort get it from the nivida site [05:01] ericj11861: and installing directly from nivida is always a pain [05:02] did that [05:02] EricJ1186, it then must be your setup with 2 cards that does that [05:02] it reboots in terminal in TTY1 [05:02] even though I don't have my bridge? [05:02] EricJ1186, im not sure anymore, since mine works with recommended drv [05:03] my ubuntu 9.04 is very hangable that must be restart. how can i fix it? [05:03] damn [05:03] my ubuntu 9.04 is very hangable that must be restart. how can i fix it? [05:03] any suggestions on where else I can look for help? [05:03] msshams1: Are you using ext4? [05:03] !help [05:03] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [05:04] ericj11861: ubuntuforums.org === mistiq_ is now known as mistiq [05:04] Jordan_U: ext4 even reiserfs hanged [05:04] EricJ1186, register on ubuntuforums.org and post your problem there [05:05] msshams1: If you are using ext4 it might be the softlockup bug, you can just use the latest upstream kernel ( there is a ppa for it ) [05:05] there's an ext4 now? dang, been a while since i used linux [05:05] Classic, I did... no replies [05:05] Jordan_U: still not done my clean install after these weeks and gone Ext4, anyway when I do, should I install the ppa for a later kernel? [05:06] Jordan_U: in the past i use ext4 and see hang problem. but now i use reiserfs and ubuntu hanged too [05:06] shamoun: yeah, but it has a few issues still that are mentioned in the release notes [05:06] !notes [05:06] Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) release notes can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/ReleaseNotes [05:08] anyone here still using 8.04 LTS or use LTS versions only [05:08] sebsebseb: Seems that the ext4 developers can't even reproduce the bug so if you're not affected you probably don't need to preemtively upgrade the kernel ( the cause of the bug hasn't been found yet, so it's not "fixed" in the latest kernel, just not reproducable by anyone at all ) [05:08] I guess I may have to just give up on sound or graphics... [05:08] ugh [05:08] Jordan_U: I think I will be just fine with Ext4 once I do my clean install === Bakuchris is now known as Kai_wp [05:09] Jordan_U: should be fine yeah [05:09] EricJ1186, no, just refresh your post [05:09] Jordan_U: Sorry, if you don't mind reposting it, what was that command for mounting my HD on the XUbuntu Live CD again? :) I lost the chat log..

I could read those files before I install Ubuntu, after installing Ubuntu I am now unable to read my files in drive E... All my files are unreadable now, any suggestions? [05:17] chemikalz: ok [05:17] my headphone jack, and speakers wont work [05:17] sound issues hummm I can't really help with that [05:17] !sound [05:17] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [05:17] Sorry my english is bad :( [05:17] guest i dual boot with windows 64bit and am using ubuntu 32 bit [05:18] i got my rythm player working fine, just hte speaker and headphone issue [05:18] lol [05:18] tried ALSA already [05:18] wasnt succesful [05:18] hello guys [05:18] Guest29625: can you get into them on Windows? [05:19] sebsebseb: no, even though when I boot with Vista I am still not able to open them [05:19] Guest29625: oh dear [05:19] you might have lost it all [05:19] which OS are you on now? Ubuntu I assume? [05:19] sebsebseb: Oops, don't tell me [05:20] No, I am in Windows now. [05:20] well finding out which partitions you have on there is rather easy on Ubuntu [05:20] Hello I resized my partition to do a fresh install and then move my data from my old install. I removed the other install's partitions and resized the drive, now I have a GRUB ERROR 17. Help [05:20] and you can't get into it on Windows? [05:20] Guest29625: go into synaptic and install ntfs-config [05:20] i'm having a little trouble with my project. I'm running ubuntu 9.04 and I installed netbeans from the official download site. However, it doesn't not have the oracle database driver. Does anyone know how to install the jdbc oracle driver? [05:20] Jeepste1: he is on Windows [05:20] what's the flavor of the week for irc clients? [05:21] Jeepste1: it's a bit silly for people to be requesting Ubuntu support when they aren't on it, but there we go [05:21] sebsebseb: The files are thre with thier original icons. I am not able to open them [05:21] been using irssi since BitchX got pulled out of the repos [05:21] but it's never really felt right [05:21] anything else available worth trying? [05:21] Hi, I was here earlier about the "Gave up waiting for root device" issue and I was told to reinstall, but that still didn't work. :/ [05:21] Not sure what to do now. [05:21] aww ok.. he could install Ext2IFS for windows [05:21] Guest29625: do Windows first, Ubuntu second [05:21] Guest29625, permission problem? [05:21] excuse me,my ubuntu OS some strange things,the close button in the the any application is missing [05:21] sebsebseb what do you mean? [05:22] Guest29625: I mean get your files open in Windows first, then you can open stuff up in Ubuntu to probably [05:22] Guest29625: as long as Windows partitions are shut down properly, Ubuntu should be able to just use them [05:22] OK, looking closer at my SSH+squid thing, it seems the problem is definitely on SSH's side. When I log in to the remote machine I can use Squid just fine as a proxy server. So is there anybody here who's an SSH guru, specifically server-side configuration of TCP tunnelling? [05:22] sebsebseb: the problem is that I am not able to open them in windows too [05:22] Guest29625: ,but maybe you got a currupted partitiion [05:22] excuse me,my ubuntu OS has some strange things,the close button in the the any application is missing [05:22] Guest29625: yes exactly, which means you have problem all written over it [05:22] dj: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1114011 [05:22] google it first [05:22] Does anyone know anything about dealing with a bug where sound keeps looping whatever was last played? [05:23] Guest29625: if you can get them working in Windows, then they should just work in Ubuntu as well, as long as that partition was shut down properly [05:23] there seem to be a number of threads at the forums with solutions to related problems [05:23] okey thanks [05:23] np [05:23] Hello I resized my partition to do a fresh install and then move my data from my old install. I removed the other install's partitions and resized the drive, now I have a GRUB ERROR 17. Help [05:23] Guest29625: ,but something has happended, and it's a Windows partition and all that, so makes sense to ask in ##windows [05:23] sebsebseb: I understand.. [05:23] sebsebseb: Ok. [05:23] hi [05:23] Guest29625: if you can get it working in Windows properly, what I said about Ubuntu [05:24] Guest29625: You may try gpart.

It didn't happen in Ubuntu 8 and once I upgraded, I have been having this issue. I can't seem to find the solution to this either. [05:27] llml: they are it seems [05:27] Hi, anyone know of an app for ext3 file recovery? [05:28] Speaking of sound problems. My sound keeps skipping in a loop over whatever the last sound played was (generally the logon sound). Can anyone suggest a good place to find more information on how to solve the problem? I haven't turned up anything useful on google yet [05:28] Hey guys, im trying to dualboot vista and ubuntu, but i cant get past the ability to shrink my drive with the vista shrink device. Heres a screen shot : http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/641/shrinkfuu.png [05:28] sebsebseb: Yep :) [05:28] i had to mess with partitions for ages to dual boot vista 64 and ubuntu 32bit [05:28] lol [05:29] yeah like i have 30gb+ of free space [05:29] but the srink will only let me do 742MB [05:29] Successfully using my iPod Nano with Rhythmbox Music player...I'd like to be able to upload pics and videos...is there an alternate app that I can use to do that? [05:30] you can try [05:30] Banshee for syncing [05:30] At first it wouldnt even give me an amont to shrink, but then i used perfect disk, and now im able to do the 742MB but its still not enough. [05:31] So I'm in the XUbuntu Live CD now but I can't access my mostly Windows network [05:31] pengy, if you have enough RAM, remove the swap file in Windows, defrag the disk, and try again. Don't forget to take note of the swap file size and to restore it when done (after resizing) [05:31] 这里有没有华人 [05:31] jilianghou, #ubuntu-cn [05:31] 华人华侨啥的 [05:31] ok, thanks all. [05:31] I have installed a command-line system using the Ubuntu 8.0.4 alternate disc and at the login always get this message: "* Reloading OpenBSD Secure Shell server's configuration sshd" [05:31] When it attempted to install "Samba", it did it once, but kept telling me that I needed to install Samba [05:32] I verified that Samba is installed though. Now I'm in the "Shared Folders" settings window [05:32] I switched the workgroup name to the proper one but I still can't access anybody [05:32] alberto what do you mean exactly? [05:32] pengy, np...I've just too many windows open :) [05:33] What exactly is the greyed out "Unlock" button in the "Shared Folders" settings window for? [05:33] pengy, Windows creates the virtual memory file, which might be at the end of your partition, or somewhere close to the end. You can remove it disabling the swap in Windows. [05:34] Im not sure what you mean by swap, ive never done something like this before. [05:34] !swap | pengy [05:34] pengy: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [05:34] pengy, I'm not on windows right now [05:34] how do i tell FIND to ignore certain words [05:35] does anybody know how to get amarok to use the codec libraries i have installed in gnome?

[05:40] I think gnome baker can do that as well. [05:41] guys still no sound from speakres [05:41] THIS SHOULD BE WORKING [05:41] im confused [05:41] chemikalz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:41] i have everything set up perfect [05:41] is anyone familiar with fakeraid? [05:42] StrangeCharm: never heard of it what is it [05:42] fakeraid - a hardware based raid solution that actually uses the cpu for raid operations [05:43] Has anyone been able to use rhythmbox with a remote file system on 9.04. It doesn't seem to be working for me. sftp or samba. I don't particularly want to use smbmount or install sshfs. [05:43] it's a generic term chemikalz [05:43] got my spearks to work but now it plays my pc speaker and my external speakers all at once lol [05:43] Is there any SSH guru out there who can explain what the error "channel 3: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed" means and how to get rid of it? [05:43] i have it set as surround [05:43] its working nice! [05:45] does anyone know what's happened to dm-raid4-5 in jaunty? [05:45] ttmrichter: google has over 100 results for that [05:46] th0r: And all of them totally useless. Mostly people asking and not getting answers or getting answers to questions not asked.

The last one is probably the media-center (if you have a media-center key) [05:47] can someone tell me where i can find what my chipset it?? [05:48] ttmrichter: what were you doing with ssh to get that error? [05:48] daps, what os are you on? [05:48] Ubuntu 8.4 [05:48] infinityxi: I'm trying to tunnel HTTP through SSH to a Squid proxy. [05:48] pengy, hint: pay _a_lot_ of attention not to damage the media center partition, if it is the case, because to rebuild it on dell systems, you have to format also the main win installation :\ [05:48] i have dell media direct [05:48] pengy, that one [05:48] well from some of the google hits, does the squid proxy machine [05:48] daps, what computer are you using? [05:48] so the 2.5GB is that one problay is. [05:48] allow connections from local host? [05:49] pengy, for sure...it's exactly its size [05:49] something made up by a friend [05:49] infinityxi: It *ONLY* allows connections from local host. The error is SSH's, not squids. I have tested squid and it is working as expected. [05:49] hey, i'm trying to access my hardware 'fake' raid under jaunty, but i can't seem to load dm-raid4-5, am i missing something? [05:49] ttmrichter: the second result....This message is printed when you try to use TCP forwarding and sshd [05:49] doesn't authorize it. You need to ask your administrator to put [05:49] "AllowTcpForwarding yes" in sshd_config on the gateway. [05:49] daps, do you know any of the component names? [05:49] ok im still got getting how to get vista on letting me shrink my partion more than 742MB since i need to do atlaeast 15 for unbuntu. [05:50] also, daps, use my name so that your messages are highlighted for me? [05:50] th0r: I *AM* the administrator and TCP forwarding *IS* set to "yes". [05:50] pengy, did you remove the virtual memory? [05:50] hey how to speed up my jaunty? [05:50] StrangeCharm, it has an intel P4 in there 2.6Ghz [05:50] do you know what the motherboard is, daps? [05:50] yeah [05:50] i dont have pageing on. [05:51] Daps, lshw in terminal [05:51] StrangeCharm, no clue [05:51] pengy, ok. The only hope you have now is to defragment your disk [05:51] ive donoe that about 4 times [05:51] pengy, still nothing? [05:51] using auslogics framgent [05:51] jkdefrag [05:51] chuck_, i will try that [05:51] and perfect disk defrag [05:51] daps, did you try chuck_ 's suggestion? === mj is now known as Guest87237 [05:52] pengy, simply use the vista defrag... [05:52] StrangeCharm, i will try now [05:52] perfect disk helped the most [05:52] ok [05:52] what is virtual box ? [05:52] it moved the mtk files to the beginging of the partion. [05:52] how is that different from wine [05:52] hey, i'm trying to access my hardware 'fake' raid under jaunty, but i can't seem to load dm-raid4-5, am i missing something? [05:52] !ot | AlbertoP [05:52] AlbertoP: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [05:52] and thats what let me even use the shrink option in the first place. [05:52] !ot | pengy [05:52] yaris123456789 it's a program for running and managing virtual machines [05:52] pengy: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [05:52] Hiemanshu, sorry but he has problem to install ubuntu on a windows system.... [05:52] if that's not on topic... [05:52] ttmrichter: what does your ssh line look like, you can omit your hostname and everything for public purposes [05:53] StrangeCharm: that means i can run OS in ubuntu ? [05:53] AlbertoP, that is not offtopic [05:53] Hiemanshu, :) [05:53] but about vista, and defrag that is [05:53] yaris123456789, virtualbox is virtualization software, it basically emulate a x86 hardware. wine doesnt emulate anything. its just implementation of windows api on unix [05:53] Hiemanshu, to resize his disk he needs to defrag... [05:53] yaris123456789 can you restate exactly what you mean? [05:53] AlbertoP, not neccessary [05:53] infinityxi: ssh -L 8080:backdoor:8080 -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa backdoor -v -o ConnectTimeout=5 [05:53] yeah, im trying to install ubuntu but i need to beable to shrink my partition first. [05:53] Hiemanshu, ok so you give him the right answer :) [05:53] is there a procxy soft 4 ubuntu? [05:53] pengy, tell me what is going on? [05:54] if i run tor on each virtualbox, will it create different ip's for each virtualbox [05:54] at any given time [05:54] Hiemanshu, simple...he cannot resize his disk to make space to ubuntu. [05:54] AlbertoP, sure [05:54] yaris123456789 no [05:54] chuck_, wow thats amazing.. thanks.. [05:54] Hiemanshu, because vista doesn't allow the dist to be resized enough [05:54] StrangeCharm, it shows everything [05:54] pengy, download and use GParted live disk to resize [05:54] im trying to dual boot ubuntu, but vista wont let me shrink more than 742Mb for the partition, even though i have 30gb of free space [05:54] sebsebseb: I`m up and running on 8.10 now :)... ty for your help.. I think my DVD drive might be faulty too as I tried the CD in that yesterday [05:54] ttmrichter, that doesnt look right. you're mapping 8080 from backdoor to 8080 on backdoor? [05:54] yaris123456789 you still have only one ip address on the outside - all your tor nodes will still face the net from the same ip [05:54] Jeepste1: ok good :) [05:55] usser: No, I'm mapping my local 8080 to the remote 8080 through SSH. [05:55] pengy, no don't do that on your config. GParted won't recognize the dell partition for media direct and kill it unfortunately [05:55] Hiemanshu: won't resizing the disk from gparted effect the existing vista installation? [05:55] pengy, you can use the Ubuntu Live CD to do it too [05:55] hiemanshu, i dont want to use gparted because i still need windows, and im werey of the stories of it not letting windows boot up. [05:55] Daps, your welcome [05:55] pengy, let's talk in pvt [05:55] StrangeCharm: i mean the end node ip will be different for all instances of vbox running tor wouldn't it ?? [05:55] chuck_, cpu version 15.2.9... does that make sense? [05:55] ok [05:55] sebsebseb: NVIDIA driver installed ok too :) [05:55] usser: So localhost:8080 gets tunnelled through SSH to emerge on the remote side and hits 8080 on that side. [05:55] Jeepste1: good [05:55] ttmrichter, right right [05:56] Hello all. I've finally got my VPN running exactly the way I want it to, and now comes the challenge of getting my family connected to their shares on it. Unfortunately, they boot up their windows machines without passwords. So, they don't even know their usernames. My question is, is it possible for them to connect to my Samba server with a username and password that I supply to them? Or can they only connect to it with their windows usernam [05:56] OpenPsycho, it wont [05:56] ttmrichter, and whats the error? [05:56] pengy, no problem [05:56] pengy, it wont [05:56] I'm running the Samba server on Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit [05:57] pengy, there should be no problem [05:57] usser: whenever I try to use the tunnel, I get: "channel 3: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed" [05:57] yaris123456789 each tor instance will create their own circuits, which may have different endpoints, however, you don't need multiple virtual oses to do that - you can just run multiple instances of tor. more importantly, what are you trying to do? [05:57] Hiemanshu, he has a special partition for his media direct. If he breaks that, he has to format everything from scratch ;-) [05:58] hey, i'm trying to access my hardware 'fake' raid under jaunty, but i can't seem to load dm-raid4-5, am i missing something? [05:58] hi [05:58] StrangeCharm, I am trying to figure out what's the best webserver to use for my cpu as ubuntu server won't load [05:58] Does anyone know whether it's possible to install ubuntu on an imac g5 [05:58] ? [05:58] powerpc processor? [05:58] StrangeCharm: how do you run multiple instances of tor ??? [05:59] ttmrichter, hm. never seen that error [05:59] daps what goes wrong? can you run the cd? [05:59] sbomer, yes, it is. But i'd suggest you use debian, because their ppc port is officially supported [05:59] ttmrichter: can you tunnel to other ports? does it gave the same error or is it only to the proxy port 8080. [06:00] StrangeCharm, yes u can run the cd and it goes through the entire install process.. but once it reboot, it says something about my cpu not being able to support it [06:00] thanks usser [06:00] I'm having trouble getting it to boot from the cd === exodusMS is now known as exodus_ms [06:00] sbomer, you need ppc version [06:00] where can I find it? [06:00] I hate this, but I think I'm going to install a windows partition for gaming [06:01] infinityxi: How would I test this? I have only the proxy server. [06:01] yaris123456789 roughly the same way that you run multiple instances of anything else, except that they'll need to have unique ports to bind to, so i suggest multiple installs, each with their own directory and torrc, with seprate ports listed in each torrc [06:01] try tunneling to the ssh port [06:01] daps, what's the message [06:01] do I need an older version? [06:01] so it will appear to the host machine that you are sshing from local host. [06:01] StrangeCharm, it says precisely this: "This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU: 0:6 Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU. [06:01] or should I forget ubuntu and go with debian? [06:02] sbomer, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/9.04/release/ http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.1/powerpc/iso-dvd/ [06:02] pengy, AlbertoP still here? [06:02] infinityxi: That's even more confusing. How is this supposed to work? [06:02] him89, yup [06:02] wow [06:02] daps, you probably need to customise your kernel, or select an older one [06:02] got dced [06:02] thanks you're awesome [06:02] pengy, got it working? [06:02] This is what makes ubuntu so great [06:02] the community [06:02] ;) [06:02] thanks? [06:02] ! [06:02] sbomer: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:02] him89, not yet... he is away for 10 mins :) [06:03] hey, i'm trying to access my hardware 'fake' raid under jaunty, but i can't seem to load dm-raid4-5, am i missing something? [06:03] sbomer, no problem [06:03] StrangeCharm, select an older one? Do they offer a choice when you install..? can't remember doing that [06:03] him89, any additional tip? :) [06:03] AlbertoP, thats all right, GParted always worked great for me never had problems [06:03] well instead of 8080:backdoor:8080 try 44:backdoor:22 and then ssh in by doing ssh -l user localhost -p 44 [06:03] this is based on this thread [06:03] StrangeCharm, how can i customize my kernel?? :S [06:03] http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/ssh-l-channel-3-open-failed-connect-failed-637538/#post3132684 [06:03] daps, not directly. boot up a livecd to make the changes [06:04] him89, yes I know. But the default partitioning on some dell laptop seems to be "sensitive", and I don't know why... [06:04] StrangeCharm, livecd ?? whats that? [06:04] AlbertoP, Dell laptop has 2 partition, one Recovery and the rest normal [06:04] thats what pengy has right? [06:04] the ubuntu desktop cds can boot up into a working version of ubuntu, [06:05] daps^ [06:05] him89, nope. He has a small 78 MB partition (system tools) - Recovery - C: - Media center [06:06] hey, i'm trying to access my hardware 'fake' raid under jaunty, but i can't seem to load dm-raid4-5, am i missing something? [06:06] StrangeCharm, but this is the server sersion, will it work the same way? I mean the CD is the Server version [06:06] does anyone know what happened to dm-raid 4-5? [06:06] AlbertoP, very odd never seen one like that [06:06] * chemikalz is away,your mothers medicine cabinet: Gone away for now [06:06] !raid [06:06] 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 [06:06] daps, so burn a desktop disk [06:07] you might be sending a key that is signed from your machine but the host machine is seeing the incoming connection as a localhost connection, not an actual connection from your client machine. [06:07] !raid > StrangeCharm [06:07] StrangeCharm, please see my private message [06:07] StrangeCharm, ok i have one of those too, didn't know i could use the desktop disc to solve the server problem... my bad [06:07] him89, seems what they push on XPS and similar systems. I have the same, and it is very messy to manage, because if you break the last one, you can only create it by repartitioning the whole disk. That's why I was going very careful :) [06:07] are the intel ppa drivers the latest drivers? [06:08] AlbertoP, we are going OT :P [06:08] him89, thanks, but i've read the pages, and they reference a kernel module, which doesn't seem to be there in jaunty [06:08] StrangeCharm, recompile the kernel [06:08] him89, can you be more specific? [06:08] him89, hehe yes :) [06:08] sorry [06:09] anyone? [06:09] StrangeCharm, what ever kernel you are using get the sources, change the config file to add the needed kernl [06:09] i mean modules [06:09] and recompile it [06:10] StrangeCharm, it seems to be working, thanks for the heads up... [06:10] infinityxi: That thread is about an entirely different problem. I can connect just fine. I can use the remote machine just fine. I just can't tunnel. That thread is talking about being able to tunnel but not log in. [06:10] * chemikalz is back. [06:10] him89 but shouldn't the module ba available anyway? [06:11] StrangeCharm, do you know how I can config the system so that i don't have to use the cd on boot up? [06:11] daps, sorry, can you be more specific [06:11] StrangeCharm, not always [06:12] ok, i do not have experience compiling the kernel, do you know of a good guide? [06:12] DCC SEND HAY.GUYZ.WHATS.GOING.ON.LOL [06:12] StrangeCharm, sorry, i meant because i get the error without the desktop cd or with the server cd, but with the desktop cd it loads and I don't get that CPU error message... was wondering how to configure it to work without having to use the desktop cd...... so it boots on its own [06:13] daps, hang on, you can install desktop without trouble? [06:14] StrangeCharm, i ll be back in 20 mins [06:14] StrangeCharm, yup.. I'm running desktop right now.. I've been trying to install server as a virtual machine.. [06:14] Hello all [06:15] does anyone know of a program for Ubuntu that records what you do on the computer into a video? Like a video snapshot [06:15] StrangeCharm: then its possible to have 1000 different end nodes each with 1000 unique circuits on a single machine running 1000 instances of tor ? [06:15] i was using the install option from the first boot of the livecd and during the install it seemed to get stuck at 53% and then started gdm and gave me the live cd desktop [06:15] daps, have you tried a driect install, or only a vm install? [06:15] any ideas [06:16] how do i check if my 3d card driver was installed correctly ? [06:16] NewApples: good question [06:16] only a vm install... don't wanna losse what I have here in this machine [06:16] StrangeCharm ^ [06:16] NewApples: recordmydesktop [06:16] ozzmosis hello and ;) [06:16] yaris123456789 only if you have enough ram, but why would you need that? [06:16] yoyoned ok i will look for that now [06:16] NewApples: if nobody here knows you could try asking someone on youtube who's uploaded demo videos of Ubuntu [06:17] daps, maybe the server kernel isn't right for the vm virutal cpu? [06:17] NewApples: or another Linux [06:17] NewApples, recordmydesktop [06:17] StrangeCharm: to get 1000 different ips ? [06:17] chuck_ thanks i am looking into that yoyoned also told me that [06:17] ozzmosis recordmydesktop seems to be a program [06:17] StrangeCharm, hmm.. ok, i'll do some research.. thanks for all your help ;) [06:17] NewApples: ah [06:18] how can i repair grub from a live cd [06:18] chuck_ yoyoned that program is even in applications add/remove thank you both very much ;) [06:19] NewApples, your welcome [06:19] i am logging now cheers ;) [06:19] hello all.

[06:53] okay so I finally installed 9.04 on this old P4 (1.4Ghz) but it's very slow and hardly usable. Any ideas? I thought ubuntu did not need much resources (unless you want compiz or something) [06:53] Hello [06:53] or just uninstall the current one, so i can reinstall a different one. [06:53] Hello [06:53] how can i add support for my soft-raid array to the kernel?

Would Ubuntu have automatically created a swap file? Or should I make a swap file manually? [06:55] Hello everyone. [06:55] Is Ubuntu "deb" or "rpm" or "sh" or "tar.gz" [06:55] NewApples, deb packages [06:55] chuck_ ok thanks [06:55] un_dave- try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Video [06:55] HDFAIL: is that a IDE, SATA or USB connection?

[06:56] Xcell: ok. reading. [06:56] its a laptop [06:56] i already pulled the drive and tryd it in another [06:56] hrm [06:56] NewApples, No I do not have a need for it [06:57] StrangeCharm: not sure how you'd add it into the kernal though [06:57] if you can mount it read-only, I'd start backing important data up off of it ASAP [06:57] chuck_ why not what do you use? [06:57] Does anyone have any idea about what to do about my network problem? [06:57] Gnea i backed up everything important when i went to 9.04 heh [06:57] HDFAIL: nice :) [06:57] data loss isnt a big deal [06:57] looks like i will be living on livecd for abit [06:57] HDFAIL i wish i made a BU of 8.10.... [06:57] well, most people don't, so good to know that you do [06:57] !viruses | NewApples [06:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about viruses [06:57] * Jar shrugs. [06:58] i need help. im having a problem with the wireless internet on my other laptop i just installed ubuntu and now need to get the wireless working. i need someone to walk me through it. please help. i have the new version of ubuntu [06:58] chuck_ is !viruses an anti virus program? and if so is it any good? [06:58] BTW Gnea why does desktop effects run fine with the LIVECD but not on 9.04 [06:58] lol [06:59] err i mine but no on a normal install on the same laptop [06:59] NewApples: No, !viruses is not an antivirus program [06:59] HDFAIL: o.O?! you know, I've never installed 9.04 via cd... [06:59] always been an upgrade from previous 8.10 or earlier [06:59] You shouldn't need an anti-virus program for Ubuntu [06:59] JGodbout ok then what does !viruese mean? [06:59] NewApples: clamav is [06:59] NewApples, No it is not an anti virus program i was trying to be lazy and let the bot explain [06:59] !virus [06:59] A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [06:59] chuck_ ahh [07:00] howto --auto-close , zenity --info --text ?? [07:00] Gnea, thank you [07:00] Gnea ok i will look int clamav [07:00] anyway logging cheers ;) [07:00] chuck_: :) [07:00] linux just has the trojaned sshd issue [07:00] hah [07:00] Xcell: ok. i uninstalled the drivers. will try an older one [07:00] ok nice [07:00] problem: when inserting a disc with a distro inside, why does it after blanking the disc say "cannot eject disc, some program doesn't let it" or something similar? [07:01] how can I avoid this? [07:01] unmount it [07:01] un_dave- bookmark that page for further info. [07:01] Gnea: Think you can help me with my issue? I have the same error as HDFAIL. [07:02] HDFAIL: with umount? [07:02] Jar: is it a laptop hd as well or..? [07:02] Gnea: It's a laptop with Ubuntu on a USB External HD. [07:02] i need help. im having a problem with the wireless internet on my other laptop i just installed ubuntu and now need to get the wireless working. i need someone to walk me through it. please help. i have the new version of ubuntu\ [07:02] Xcell: well, i did apt-get remove nvidia-glx-180, restarted, but now it's still not bringing up gnome. [07:02] leaphion just right click [07:03] unmount should work? [07:03] Hey everyone! :) I've got this problem where Ubuntu can't tell that I have an nvidia graphics card. When I LSHW is shows up as UNCLAIMED MCP67 co-processor [07:03] Xcell: isnt there some bulletproofX thing now that should make sure i always have gui ??? [07:03] startx [07:03] HDFAIL: okay, I'll test the next time I'm blanking a disc [07:03] Any ideas on how to fix this? [07:03] HDFAIL: thanks for the info [07:03] Jar: oi... yeah, running any OS off of an external USB harddrive carries a certain risk with it... if it was a flashdrive, that'd be a different story (no time differential to moving parts, etc) [07:04] Gnea: it worked fine for Ubuntu 8, just fails for 9. [07:04] Jar was it hard to set it up like that? [07:04] hey. my zune acts up if its plugged into 9.04 but worked fine plugged into 8.10. [07:04] what happened [07:04] as my HD is dead i mght attempt that [07:04] couldnt make it work with openbsd [07:04] Jar: have you tried jumping back to 8.10? [07:04] Jar, I'm willing to throw in the vote that you were probably experiencing a rare and amazing exception, and not the rule. :P [07:05] ohzie i have the same issue as him :p not so rare [07:05] HDFAIL: right, only difference is that your hd is permanent, his is detachable [07:05] how do i remane a file from terminal? [07:05] gartral_: mv file newfile [07:06] HDFAIL, I don't mean that the problem is rare, so much as that the install of an OS on a USB hard drive actually working, at all, is very rare. The fact that it worked WELL as ubuntu 8 is amazing. [07:06] OHHHHHHhhh [07:06] Does anyone here use a mobile nvidia graphics card? [07:06] yes i failed when i tryed that with openbsd [07:06] ohzie: I do [07:06] Xcell: i get fatal error ' no screens found' ... ok, at least that's given me something to google. [07:06] HDFAIL: It was easy to setup. Same way as in UB8. [07:06] Gnea, can you please pastebin your xorg.conf? [07:06] ohzie: yep. attempting to get them working in 9.04 right now [07:06] Gnea: I'm just wondering if this is fixable, I'd rather use 9.04. [07:07] ohzie: Exception? [07:07] ya.. google will give you some education on the matter..youll get it [07:07] Jar, neverming [07:07] gartral_: mv filename.txt newfilename.txt [07:07] lol [07:07] un_dave, does yours also come up in lshw as an unclaimed mcp67 co-processor? [07:07] ohzie: http://paste.ubuntu.com/174079/ [07:07] Ubuntu 8 worked better on my EHDD than on my permenant HD. [07:08] why won't dmraid activate my raid5 array? [07:08] Gnea, and that works fine for you? :D [07:08] So I'm trying to access my Windows network from a XUbuntu 8.10 Live CD, but I haven't had much luck so far. I've installed Samba, and I can't see anyone on the network. And I've tried PyNeighborhood which says "Failed to scan workgroup" when I try to look at my workgroup. Why would that be? [07:08] Jar: I.. don't really know. are all of the ports usb 2.0 and the cable is 2.0 capable? [07:08] ohzie: nope. it sees mine as 7300gs's. i have 2. [07:08] The internet works fine and I can even ping other PCs on the network. [07:08] leaphion: is the string "rn" used anywhere popularly known? [07:08] ohzie: sure does [07:08] Gnea: If it worked on UB8, wouldn't it work in UB9? [07:08] strangecharm: i dont use dmraid. i use mdadm. [07:08] Gnea, Nice. How would I force it to 1440x900? [07:08] Jar my compfiz worked in 8 not 9 [07:08] heh [07:08] ohzie: no need, the nvidia driver itself should figure it out and allow you to select it [07:09] Gnea, Nice [07:09] un_dave what's mdadm like? [07:09] Anyone? [07:09] un_dave- i have an old 7300 too.. i had no problems installing drivers...allthough i installed envyng so i could pick and choose drivers [07:09] Does anyone know anything about getting networking working on a XUbuntu Live CD? [07:09] Jar: UB9 has had a lot of issues - the nice thing is, it works for the most part. did you instlal UB9 from the get-go or upgrade it from a UB8 installation? [07:10] Gnea: Both ways. [07:10] next question: is there anything I can do to make gksu not shadow out the screen behind the password window? [07:10] If you do not specify a swap partition in the custom partition option in the install, does Ubuntu automatically create a swap file? [07:10] Xcell: yay! are you running 9.04? what does your xorg look like? what version of nvidia drives are you using ? [07:10] gartral_: sorry, no idea [07:10] 180 [07:10] !swap | JGodbout [07:10] JGodbout, please see my private message [07:10] hey guys [07:10] * chemikalz is back. [07:10] got all my sound working, [07:11] but im 8.10 right now..9.04 i did the exact same thing.. [07:11] !away | chemikalz [07:11] strangecharm: it's pretty simple to use. you should be able to quickly activate your raid5 with it [07:11] chemikalz: You should avoid noisy away messages in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Use the command "/away " to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» [07:11] strangecharm: just see the 'man mdadm' [07:11] Jar: that's just baffling.... [07:11] uh is there a replacement for ctrl+alt+backspace? [07:11] strangecharm: you might have to install the package first [07:11] I'm not used to that not working [07:11] is gnea a bot? [07:11] * Gnea looks oddly at chemikalz [07:11] lol, [07:11] any linux heads in here [07:11] hahaha [07:11] oops [07:12] !away | chemikalz [07:12] i was confused by that [07:12] thought was bot [07:12] Gnea: Do you think if I download Ubuntu 9 and install that would turn out different than my current method of installing? (using a ShipIt free live CD) [07:12] :) [07:12] and you didn't see what ubottu said to you? [07:12] chemikalz: clearly :) [07:12] oh sorry [07:12] ill change my away [07:12] for this network [07:12] it would be appreciated, thank you [07:13] wait people actualy order those free cds? [07:13] Gnea, is ctrl+alt+backspace disabled in ubuntu 9 or is my keyboard borked? [07:13] HDFAIL: Yes [07:13] Jar: it might... it might not [07:13] leaphion: it was a joke en lue of my next alias [07:13] HDFAIL: yeah, got a bunch delivered years ago [07:13] dialup users i guess [07:14] HDFAIL: they're great for installfests too :) [07:14] Lol, I just get them because I don't have to use a blank CD> [07:14] imagine downloading ubuntu on dialup...wow [07:14] hahaah [07:14] * Gnea decides not to imagine that ;) [07:14] un_dave - does mdadm support existing softraids, or can it just create new setups? [07:14] un_dave also, my name ends in an underscore [07:15] now to decide how to destroy this HD === madmax is now known as Guest33580 [07:15] whats wrong with it.. did you not try to scrub it with a partitioner? [07:15] ohzie: I haven't gotten it to work in GDM... not sure about gnome either, but I switched all of my gnome/metacity stuff out and put E17 in its place, so it works there [07:16] xcell pretty sure its past repair [07:16] hello [07:16] hi [07:16] HDFAIL: I enjoy the screw-apart, place the magnets elsewhere, slip a screwdriver in under the disk and apply pressure at a downward angle [07:16] StrangeCharm_: i think it can do the whole lot. i created my raid5 with it. i guess i'm not so sure about existin arrays created with other systems though. i think it has autoscanning systems that will try autodetect an array though. that might help you. [07:16] ok.. but ive had those pblms too.. and i scrubed them and they came back to life. [07:17] k made a custom nick profile for this server with away set to perm off === Guest33580 is now known as madmax_X [07:17] yah fire is no good eh? wont get hot enough [07:17] chemikalz: good job [07:17] or is that just a ghetto tv myth [07:17] I don't like the smell :) [07:17] hah === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [07:18] i need help. im having a problem with the wireless internet on my other laptop i just installed ubuntu and now need to get the wireless working. i need someone to walk me through it. please help. i have the new version of ubuntu\ [07:18] plus, there's something very gratifying about watching a disk shatter into a billion pieces [07:18] k i will try your method [07:18] careful, and good luck ;) [07:19] the hd is actualy amazing served atleast 5 years of encryption crunching [07:19] !wireless | donkey (to get wireless working, please check this guide out first. also, wicd is a very good application to install in place of NetworkManager) [07:19] donkey (to get wireless working, please check this guide out first. also, wicd is a very good application to install in place of NetworkManager): Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [07:19] some times the buffer gets crap stuck in it.

[07:21] Kai_wp: samba is for setting your end up to accept connections - it has nothing to do with connecting to other systems on the network in linux [07:21] Kai_wp: have you tried Places->Network? [07:21] ubottu where can i get wicd and how do i know what wireless card i have?

And I can use elinks on the remote machine using the localhosted squid proxy. [07:44] ah, sorry, looked like gaming speak to me [07:44] why is dmraid not activating my array? i get the message "RAID set "nvidia_##########" was not activated" [07:44] oh i playd starcraft back in the day [07:45] troy1: hrm... and wicd doesn't have anything showing up in the wireless tab? [07:45] ttmrichter i am still not 100% in what your actualy attempting todo [07:45] nope [07:45] ttmrichter: Able to pastebin the sshd_config ? [07:45] HDFAIL: fun fun, later [07:45] gnea when you had me put in wicd it removed the Network Configuration in the system/preferences tab [07:46] troy1: can you pastebin output of the dmesg command? it's easier to install pastebinit and then: dmesg | pastebinit [07:46] troy1: right, that's what it's supposed to do [07:46] pastebinit? neat [07:46] yup :) [07:46] * kmdm makes a mental note of that [07:47] !info pastebinit [07:47] pastebinit (source: pastebinit): command-line pastebin client. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.11.2-0ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 21 kB, installed size 344 kB [07:47] HDFAIL: I'm trying to get aroudn the Great Firewall. [07:47] pastebinit and dpkg go together like peanut butter and jelly [07:47] kmdm: Yes, I can do that. [07:47] ttmrichter ok it filters http i take it? [07:48] HDFAIL: it filters whatever the Chinese government feels threatened by. Or annoyed by. Or has had a bad day and glanced at briefly. [07:48] gnea http://paste.ubuntu.com/174099/ [07:48] Ohhhhhhh i think people bypass that shit ez with "Tor" [07:49] but tunnels you http traffic shouldnt be hard [07:49] tunneling* [07:49] gnea: Oh, sorry, I missed that [07:49] kmdm: http://paste.ubuntu.com/174100/ [07:50] troy1: bingo: b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode5.fw" not found [07:50] gnea what do i do [07:51] ttmrichter: I came late to this party, but this bit stands out a mile: open failed: administratively prohibited. When I google it, there's lots of chat about socksv4 vs socksv5. Have you guys disposed of this already? [07:51] losher: There's a lot of chat about it with no actual useful advice that works, sadly. [07:51] losher: The Google approach to help is about as effective as reading chicken entrails if you have a serious technical issue. [07:51] ttmrichter http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/06/18/tunnel-web-and-dns-traffic-over-ssh/ [07:52] troy1: sudo apt-get install linux-firmware [07:52] Aye, plus, ttmrichter is trying to forward 3128 for squid and not -D for a dynamic socksv5 [07:52] did u follow something like that? [07:52] gnea ok now what [07:53] I cannot hibernate - status bar telling me vlc "playing media" yet vlc isn't even open. ps axuw | grep vlc shows nothing as well. what gives? [07:53] ttmrichter: fair enough, but I assume there are only a finite number of reasons ssh will 'administratively prohibit' a channel [07:53] ssh -D 8080 -fN user@server [07:53] This creates a SOCKS compatible proxy, which is a requirement of the DNS forwarding. Other methods on the interwebs suggest using ssh -L or similar, which are not SOCKS compatible proxies. [07:53] whats a basic image editor? gimp is increadible difficult to use without taking a tutorial and I just need some basic editing done. [07:53] troy1: now reload the module.. find like like this: lsmod | grep 43 then: sudo rmmod [07:53] losher: I'm sure there is. It's just that nothing on Google has been helpful. At all. In the slightest. [07:53] troy1: followed by: sudo modprobe [07:54] losher: OpenSSH's docs have been similarly unenlightening. The error might as well be "general error: good luck guessing what this means, luser!" [07:54] troy1: it's like b43 or bcm43xx [07:54] troy1: might be b43legacy [07:54] ttmrichter: which version of openssh btw? [07:54] ttmrichter that link i pasted works i just tested it [07:54] HDFAIL: I tried that the first time you suggested it. It didn't work. [07:54] gnea http://paste.ubuntu.com/174102/ [07:55] what error [07:55] try a different ssh account? [07:55] The same error it's been for the past six god-damned hours. [07:55] troy1: yup, b43, so: sudo rmmod b43 [07:55] how should i know that? [07:55] Sorry, I'm just getting really, really frustrated by this. [07:55] dont be a dick, going to bed [07:55] lol [07:55] I wouldn't be so upset if this damned thing at least changed its message once in a while. [07:56] gnea http://paste.ubuntu.com/174103/ [07:56] whats a basic image editor? gimp is increadible difficult to use without taking a tutorial and I just need some basic editing done. [07:56] losher: how do I find out what version? [07:56] ttmrichter: yeah, problems like that, if i get irritated, i go and play some video game for awhile or do something else and come back to it - better to tackle a difficult problem with a fresh start... might figure something else out in the meantime that'll help [07:56] ttmrichter have you tryd tor [07:56] ssh -V [07:56] ttmrichter: For argument's sake, are you able to SSH tunnel anywhere else? say localhost:22 for example? [07:56] kmdm: explain further please? [07:57] HDFAIL: Tor has two problems. First, it is too slow to be usable. Second, to get to the Tor web site I have to get past the Great Firewall.... [07:57] ttmrichter: Well, if you tried -L2222:localhost:22 on your SSH tunne line, does ssh -p 2222 localhost work on your local machine? [07:57] ttmrichter [07:57] is there any way to set ubuntu up with 2 different video card profiles and for ubuntu to select the one to use automatically based on detected hardware? eg automatically switch between virtual hardware and nvidia drivers dopending on how the system is started? [07:57] well i can show you how to select local enctry and exit nodes [07:57] troy1: hrm... confirm that it loaded: lsmod | grep b43 [07:58] so its fast [07:58] if u know what ur doing :/ [07:58] this used to work in ubuntu [07:58] gnea http://paste.ubuntu.com/174106/ [07:58] but latly it broke and i have to re-configure xorg each time i switch [07:58] hi [07:59] kmdm: ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused [07:59] kmdm: I think I don't have the local machine set up with an SSH server. [07:59] troy1: okay, dmesg again please [07:59] dpkg-reconfigure --xserver-xorg [07:59] ./etc/init.d/sshd start [07:59] ttmrichter: -p 2222 ? [07:59] so it tries port 2222 which is forwarded to the ssh server [07:59] kmdm: This is on the -L tunnel establishment. [08:00] gnea http://paste.ubuntu.com/174107/ [08:00] kmdm: ssh -L 2222:localhost:22 localhost gives me that error. [08:00] ZcHxWm that is what i have to do now, i didn't previously have to do that, ubuntu would keep both configurations [08:00] ttmrichter: Aye, where you have the 2nd localhost I want that to be the SSH server you're connecting as before for squid [08:00] troy1: success! 2818.159948] b43-phy1: Broadcom 4318 WLAN found [08:01] troy1: now try to scan with wicd [08:01] ttmrichter: So you're probably need -i as well [08:01] you'd * === cabontax is now known as carbontax_ [08:01] gnea how do you scan with it? === carbontax_ is now known as carbontax [08:01] kmdm OK, that worked. [08:02] troy1: open it up, go to the wireless section and click on the > arrow, so that it points down [08:02] kmdm: ssh -L 2222:gateway:22 gateway, followed by a ssh -p 2222 localhost got me a connection. [08:02] troy1: then give it some time to do its thing [08:02] gnea there is no arrow on the wireless section just says "no wireless networks found" anything in the preferences i have to change? [08:03] troy1: yeah, open the preferences and does it have anything for the wireless interface? [08:04] gnea wlan0 [08:04] ttmrichter: Ok, that's good... so ssh tunnels fundamentally work. On the gateway server... If you do telnet gateway 3128 then when it connects do "GET http://www.google.com HTTP/1.0" do you get a whole bunch of HTML back? [08:04] Can anyone tell me how I can manually adjust the screen resolution in ubuntu 9.04. The provided defaults in the gui settings are too small. === goose is now known as goose|zZz [08:04] kmdm: Yes, and I can also use elinks setting the local proxy. [08:04] as i try localnet install with tftp, it says the server isn't supporting tsize option now as i try tftp-hpa it isn't just working. though i have inetd.conf with "tftp dgram udp wait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd in.tftpd /tftpboot" and /etc/default/tftpd-hpa configured as per help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet... no idea whats going wrong.. [08:05] am trying with tftp and dhcp3-server [08:05] troy1: okay, back out of that and try this again: sudo iwlist wlan0 scan [08:05] gnea wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down [08:05] CarlFK: there?:) [08:05] troy1: *sigh* bring it up again: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up and try the scan again [08:06] gnea SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory [08:06] troy1: is that from ifconfig or iwlist? [08:07] gnea what do you mean? [08:07] gnea i just type it in terminal [08:07] troy1: the SIOCSIFFLAGS: [08:07] My youtube is not working on 9.04 ubuntu. the audio doesn't play but still my mp3 files play the music [08:07] well, that was the result of one of the commands [08:07] I hafe flash 10 [08:07] which command was it? [08:07] kmdm: I got it working, but at the expense of opening the proxy server wide. [08:07] gnea what do you want me to do type that in, in terminal? > SIOCSIFFLAGS [08:08] dot: how did you install flash 10? [08:08] kmdm: For some reason squid is seeing the SSH connection as not being from local. [08:08] ttmrichter: Oh, what did you have to do? [08:08] troy1: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [08:08] Gnea: .deb file [08:08] kmdm: http_access allow all [08:08] dot: from adobe's website? [08:08] kmdm: REALLY not what I want to do. [08:08] yea [08:08] Gnea: yea from website [08:08] ttmrichter: Ahhh, what was that line before? [08:08] adobe's [08:08] gnea SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory [08:08] does anyone know how to modify the screen resolution for X outside of the GUI client on 9.04. [08:08] kmdm: http_access deny all [08:09] dot: wrong way to do it. remove it, and then run this on the commandline: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [08:09] my default is not the hardware max [08:09] ttmrichter: No, I mean, you've obviously setup squid to a limited number of allowed IPs, what are they? [08:09] Hi one my drives died and i had 8.10 - i think? then in installed 9.04 on to a 1TB drive. the drive with 8.10 is gone now my 9.04 isn't booting. because i think i have no grub installed [08:09] kmdm: Localhost only. [08:09] Is there a way to install grub? [08:09] !grub | tokies [08:09] tokies: 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 [08:09] * Gnea notes that TB drives are teh suck [08:09] ttmrichter: Hm, what address does "ping gateway" resolve to on the SSH host? [08:09] Gnea: how do I remove it? [08:09] thanks Gnea [08:10] infinityxi i have a similar problem except mine is set to the resolution i want, X is still using a low res [08:10] kmdm: unknown host. [08:10] ttmrichter: Cause for that setup I think you'd want -L3128:localhost:3128 -i ... backdoor [08:10] dot: see how it's called first: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep adobe, then sudo apt-get remove [08:10] This might be a rhythmplayer-bug/feature but since I upgraded to 9.04 rhythmplayer wants to search for "suitable plugins" for something called "application/x-bittorrent decoder". I tried searching for this on google but the keyword bittorrent just messes it up. Is this some feature that was enabled in the upgrade or what have I done? And most importantly how can I disable this search, because ut never finds such a plugin and [08:11] It happend right after I launch rhythmplayer [08:11] gnea SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory [08:12] Gnea: according to synaptic package manager flashplugin-nonfree version 10.0.22.87 is installed [08:13] troy1: try rebooting [08:13] kk brb [08:14] dot: ok, what about results from this: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep flash [08:14] kmdm, ttmrichter: the suspense is killing me.... [08:15] Feldegastr: what type of vid card? are you using open source drivers of the restricted ones? [08:15] hey guys, i installed win after installing ubuntu 9.04 on a ext4 fs. so it deleted GRUB and now i try to reinstall it, but i am on a ubuntu 8.10 live system which doesnt support ext4. how can i install some kind of ext4 support? [08:15] losher, kmdm: I think I may have this solved, but don't know why (which bugs me). [08:15] ttmrichter: Well, if what I said just worked I can tell you why, I think... [08:15] Changing the -L clause to go to localhost while making Squid only permit localhost fixed it. [08:15] Gnea: it found flashplugin-installer, flashplugin-nonfree and mnemosyne [08:15] infinityxi restricted nvidia drivers and vmware drivers [08:15] GreenDelta2: by installing 9.04 [08:15] GreenDelta2: I don't suppose you have an Ubuntu 9.04 CD? [08:15] Any other combination fails with "generic error message: guess what this means luser!". [08:16] ttmrichter: on the ssh host, do ping backdoor [08:16] Gnea: *dough* [08:16] ghindo: i cant find it anymore... [08:16] ttmrichter: It more than likely doesn't say 127.0.0.1, so your tunnel wasn't trying to connect over the localhost ip (127.0.0.1) and so was getting blocked by squid's ACLs [08:16] So basically the name in the command line for the tunnel seems to have to match what squid is looking for. Which hurts my brain. [08:17] GreenDelta2: Well, you could burn a new one, or any other LiveCD which supports ext4 [08:17] how can i see which video driver that is actually in use? [08:17] ttmrichter: (At least it works ;)) [08:17] GreenDelta2: Also, generally it's not advisable to install Windows after Ubuntu for this reason [08:17] Feldegastr: ahh I am not too sure on 9.04 and ubuntu has never gotten resolution right for me out of the box before. [08:17] dot: weird, it should work just fine then... are you using pulseuadio? [08:17] infinityxi both drivers work, the issue is getting ubuntu to use the correct one and use the reslution i set [08:17] kmdm, ttmrichter: and in only 6 hours, too... [08:17] Gnea: should I? [08:17] kmdm: Yeah, that seems to be what it is. [08:18] losher: I don't think he wants reminding... ;) [08:18] yeah the drivers worked for me too, but ubuntu has always guessed the best resolution for me wrong [08:18] Gnea: Yea I have it installed [08:18] dot: it's fairly common, but perhaps it's causing a problem [08:18] in your xorg conf do you have a few resolutions listed? i just took the lower res listed out [08:18] infinityxi without having to reconfigure manually after i boot up using the other video setup [08:18] Gnea: I should remove it? should I install anything else? [08:18] kmdm, losher: Yeah, way to rub it in. Thanks. :D [08:18] using Hardy 8.04 whats the command to download and install trucrypt [08:18] instead of pulseaudio [08:18] kmdm, ttmrichter: I've seen people on here ask the same question for days without getting an answer. 6 hours isn't the worst I've seen by a long shot.... [08:18] dot: check your sound settings and put the output to ALSA instead of pulseaudio (don't remove pulseaudio) [08:18] Gnea: it wants me to remove ubuntu desktop [08:19] ok I wont [08:19] :) [08:19] kmdm, losher: OK, mental note: axe murder the guy who designed SSH. And thanks for all the assistance people. Even the suggestions that didn't work eventually narrowed down the problem. :D [08:19] mummmy.. tftp is being timed out!!! :'( [08:19] * Gnea notes: we now know who the next axe murderer is gonna be [08:19] j/k :) [08:19] ttmrichter: To be fair to the SSH guys it was the squid acl's.... ;-) [08:20] Gnea: what name of the ALSA package? [08:20] gnea i restarted and it still isnt working [08:20] dot: er, no need to worry about the package, just click on System->Preferences->Sound [08:20] kmdm: But the SSH command line. [08:20] troy1: ugh [08:20] troy1: but it SHOULD! [08:21] ttmrichter: hehe, admittedly I've missed the previous 5 hours... but anyway, glad it's sorted. :) Enjoy the uncensored web browsing! [08:21] stupid broadcom... [08:21] maybe i should just install the old version [08:21] the old version? [08:21] Gnea: every button gives out a beeping sound for me except of course sound capture [08:21] that's silence [08:21] I changed sound playbacks on ALSA [08:22] kmdm: Apparently my blogs are a threat to the state. :O [08:22] dot: alright, go ahead and close it out (it'll auto save) and restart firefox [08:22] kmdm, ttmrichter: Its worth it to put the boot into that kind of censorship. Impressive debug skills kmdm. [08:22] ttmrichter then a ssh tunnel isnt going to save u === baskingshark is now known as paul68 [08:23] gnea so what do i do [08:23] troy1: i guess go for the old version [08:23] kmdm, ttmrichter: also points to ttmrichter for perservance. A lesser person might have given up [08:23] in thunderbird I get each time when I want to send a mail the notification if I want to send in in html plain text ect is there a way to get rid of that? [08:23] damnit [08:23] kmdm, ttmrichter: persevance->perserverance [08:24] losher, kmdm: I was getting ready to. Pencil and paper was looking mighty nice.... :D [08:24] troy1: yeah... i'm surprised it's not working right [08:24] which ubuntu version is better for a laptop ubuntu or xubuntu and why? [08:24] why are the menus so wide in gnoem 2.26/ ubuntu 9.04? [08:24] paul68: depends on the laptop [08:24] know about a channel where i can see some tftp guys? [08:24] gnea is there a way to put back the network configuration again and take off the wicd === Feldegastr is now known as Feldegast [08:24] Gnea: its an acer ferrari 1000 [08:25] shyam: possibly #ubuntu-server [08:25] * kmdm -> shower [08:25] Gnea: oh thanks.. [08:25] Gnea: I force quitted firefox so it wouldn't leave all my tabs but now is audio working... I want to tell you how important person you are [08:25] Gnea: Your work here is so important and I am like so happy now <3 [08:25] troy1: yeah, just: sudo apt-get install network-manager [08:25] Gnea: have a nice day and keep up with the work of ELITES [08:26] Can somebody please clear up something for me? Why is there a occasional request to create a keyring? (Such in nm-applet). What's the purpose of doing this? [08:26] network-manager and the openvpn plugin for network manager...they still seem to not fit with each other.....my sytem is full upgraded [08:26] I'd like to thank you all again for the assistance you've rendered. Six hours of my whining was probably intolerable. It's all working now and without further ado I will head off to download porn^W^Wwrite my blog. [08:26] wtf? i'm a dictator?!

[08:31] Gnea: thanks [08:31] paul68: cheers [08:31] paul68: if Gnome is slow o0n your machine, Xfce most probably will [08:32] Gnea: do you have any ideas on how to get rid of the screen in thunderbird that when you want to send a mail to someone that you want to send it in text html ect... [08:32] paul68: just select which you want it to be default in prefernces [08:33] Lint01: didn,t say gnome was slow I just asked which distro is better for my laptop xubuntu or ubuntu [08:33] Gnea: ok thanks again [08:33] Lint01: not likely [08:33] paul68: Any distro is good as long as you know how to take care of it ... [08:34] I still don't know how my root partition could get so screwed up [08:34] do u get some uuid msg? [08:34] Kollaps: It can still mean a failing disk. If you can boot, I would download and run the SMART tools at a minimum [08:35] I can boot another OS on the same harddrive, I can access one of my two ext3 partitions but the other ext3 partition which happens to be the root won't boot [08:35] It gives a lot of ata errors [08:35] while making this strange seeking sound [08:35] Kollaps: I work since just about 1 year completly on ubuntu Id say I am an average user knowledge wise so still learning, and any sugestions are always welcome :-) [08:36] gnea now on the network configuration it doesnt even show an option to view wireless when you left click it [08:36] But among those errors I could see loading modules and mounting /proc and the works so it's not completely unbootable [08:37] Kollaps: Are you joking?

[08:40] Kollaps: that sounds good for a start (still want divx avi for playback on my main tv but its a start). what do I need? :) [08:41] Look into ffmpeg or mencoder.

[08:47] gartral_: you add a line like "TCPKeepAlive yes" to /etc/sshd/sshd_config [08:47] Kollaps: Would you please acknowledge that I told you your disk is about to fail, so I can go to bed with a clear conscience? [08:49] paul68 how do i find that out [08:49] paul68 it might be b43 [08:49] losher: As much as I hate to admit that, yes you told me. That doesn't mean it will actually fail. Will backup data though. [08:49] this question could probably be answered with a bot response but where is the guide to multiple monitors? and what are the best methods now? [08:50] my wireless card was supposed to have 43xx support, i simply black listed it and used ndiswrapper [08:50] bk128 [08:50] what system are you running? gnome Ubuntu i'm guessing? [08:51] troy1: lspci in the terminal should be able to tell you this [08:51] losher: it's saying the folder /etc/sshd/ does not exist [08:51] paul68 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX [08:51] right, with a ati 3850 in the pci expresss slot and another pci videocard [08:52] for 3 screens at 1360x768 [08:52] losher: nvm it was /etc/ssh/sshd_config~ [08:52] troy1: check under system administration harware drivers if your driver is selected there [08:52] troy1: or if its mentioned there [08:52] Kollaps: my understanding of disk technology is that your disk has already failed: it has already tried to read the block, failed, tried to do error correction on it, failed, tried to reallocate the block elswhere and failed, and finally given up & reported an error. The only question now is whether it will degrade gracefully or grind to an abrupt halt.... [08:53] losher: will as simple reformat fix thhis ? [08:54] Kollaps: Dear god. Listen- your disk is shitting the bed. [08:54] It's a hardware problem. [08:54] hey guys..how do you disable the need for sudo for a particular commands? [08:54] YOU CANNOT FIX IT IN SOFTWARE. [08:54] paul68 it had Broadcom B43 (it had a grey dot so i tried to activate and then it said i disabled it after) [08:55] Kollaps: my understanding is that once a modern disk starts to throw errors, it's basically toast and will never again be reliable. Backup anything indispensable if you can, and buy a new disk. Sorry.... [08:55] troy1: try to enable it and reboot normally you should be able to use the broadcom driver [08:55] Great, just what I needed :/ [08:55] Kollaps: You may be able to use the old disk as temporary scratch until if fails, but that's all... [08:56] Kollaps: How old/new is the disk? [08:56] help [08:56] Kollaps: If you're lucky, it might be in warranty. [08:56] losher: Not if it fails in such a way that it takes down the system. I'd not want it in anything I cared about. [08:56] aprilhare: http://paste.ubuntu.com/174130/ may help you a bit [08:56] This is why I RAID1 everything I care about even slightly; disks are cheap enough these days... [08:56] It's a Hitachi 160GB sata notebook harddrive (5400 rpm) it's about 1 1/2 old [08:57] It's still in warranty [08:57] But I hardly have the time for warranties [08:57] apache2 wont allow me to access any sub directories on the server. How can I fix this? [08:57] Kollaps: I got a 320 gig laptop drive from Samsung for $50 on NewEgg. [08:57] thanks ozzmosis [08:57] Time vs money dude. :) [08:57] * kmdm nods [08:58] Ok, loud strange sounds coming from it while fscking [08:58] :/ [08:58] Kollaps: You got your data off, right? [08:58] Personally, I'd give up fsck'ing and focus on getting the important data off [08:59] If you're fscking a failing drive with valuable data on it, you're an idiot. [08:59] Kollaps: So treat yourself to an upgrade. Then replace the Hitachi under warranty at leisure & keep it as a spare [08:59] dd_rescue is your friend. [08:59] I have two manifest file (Full Version + Lite Version). How would I compare (well, to make a list of what's not there (or what's there) so I can run it to install / purge applications ? === newbie is now known as klobster [09:00] Ok, copying all data from it. Damn it... [09:00] aprilhare: ubuntu pastebin munged the previous Makefile because of DOS CR/LF markers .. here's the fixed version http://paste.ubuntu.com/174131/ [09:00] Kollaps: If you care at all about it, I'd use either rsync or dd_rescue to get the data off. [09:01] aprilhare: change "in.mpg" to the name of your .flv file, the bitrates, aspect ratios then run make and you should have an output file [09:01] guys after modifiying /etc/network/interfaces how do you initialize it [09:01] I can boot Vista on the other partition which boots up just fine and copy data off my other ext3 partitino === nicolas_ is now known as Guest35613 [09:01] the only partition that is broke is the root [09:01] Kollaps: What you can do, versus what you should do, are two radically different things. [09:01] aprilhare: you can run mplayer on the output file while mencoder is still encoding to it, so there's no need to wait for it to finish [09:01] aprilhare: Ctrl+C to stop mencoder if it's doing something wrong [09:01] Does anybody know of a good way to use ffmpeg to extract audio from a video? [09:02] KB1JWQ: Never used dd_rescue [09:02] hello [09:02] so does anyone know the best way to do triple monitors? [09:03] Kollaps: Principle is this: Your drive is going to fail. It could be in ten minutes, it could be in ten days. dd_rescue is an error-tolerant imager; it'llc reate an image of your drive, that you can recover data from. [09:03] Kollaps: Typically the failures start small and then spread, or the disk just dies completely. Either way, you're on borrowed time.... [09:03] bk128: ya need 2 video cards [09:03] right, i have that [09:03] Kollaps: But you image it to another machine, and you don't run an OS while you're imaging it; you slap the drive into an enclosure or similar. [09:03] Any tips on howto install a second instance of linux, but utilize the same /home partition? [09:04] newbie: NFS share it? [09:04] madmax_X: what next? any guides for setting it up? does it just make one big desktop? [09:04] KB1JWQ: So I just have another machine open and it makes the image via the network ? [09:04] Different distros will potentially break things though. [09:04] newbie: just do install on another partition and mount your home dir from 1st install [09:04] Kollaps: Or off of a liveCD ideally. [09:04] You've gotta pipe the output. [09:05] I usually use netcat if it's to another machine. [09:05] bk128: can you get 2 working [09:05] yes [09:05] KB1JWQ: Well right now I'm on a sabayon livedvd, can you guide me through the steps ?

My wireless card has trouble connecting to the router quite often [09:05] newbie: Yeah, it assumes a different machine.

[09:05] I share my /home off of central storage. [09:05] oh, no mergedfb or bigdesktop or anything? [09:06] like u did the second [09:06] also, how do i map my windows keys to act as ctrl? [09:06] badfish69: fsck [09:06] On one machine, you could give /home its own partition and mount that from both OSes, newbie. [09:06] nvidia? [09:06] ati [09:06] ty ozz [09:06] i think its called xinerama [09:07] newbie: But if it's just part of the root partition, there's no good / simple / smart way to do it.

[09:07] wanna_learn_more: man apt-get [09:07] the resolutions all have to match i think [09:07] i have server version here(2.6.27-server-11) === J is now known as Guest8412 [09:07] !upgrade | wanna_learn_more [09:07] wanna_learn_more: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [09:07] KB1JWQ: its a separate disk, but the same machine. i can't afford the extra redundandcy layer at this point [09:07] okay [09:07] back using Ubuntu and loving it ;) [09:08] jaunty using what kernel? [09:08] 8.10 cd update 9.04 ? [09:08] newbie: Okay, then make sure /home is its own partition. So if it's /dev/sda2, make sure that's your mount point for /home in the new OS. [09:08] Hi. How do I install the proprietry nvidia drivers in jaunty? Can I just select it with synaptic? [09:08] tuntun: system, admin, hardware drivers [09:08] Otherwise you get to mess around with symlinks and mounting the entire root vol in the new OS; gets messy. [09:08] bk128: twinview seperate x screen and xinerama are all diff [09:09] madmax_X: twinview is borked in jaunty [09:09] idk about xinerama [09:09] ok i'll look into it. thanks badfish69 and madmax_X [09:09] badfish69, That window says 'No proprietry drivers are in use'.

How do I make the new prompt show up every time i start a new terminal? if i SSH into my laptop, it displays the correct colors of the prompt [09:09] tuntun: that's how i did it, i have no idea beyond that [09:10] KB1JWQ: Will it recognize my old users, or do I need to do something to move over my old shadow files, etc?

Is there anything i should look out for? [09:25] infinityxi: was just wondering which should be easier on the hardware ubuntu or xubuntu [09:25] whats that command that gives you a list of commands in a tree format? [09:25] i understand now LINUX DOES NOT SUCK!! but vista does [09:25] newbie: If you want users shared across multiple machines, use LDAP. [09:25] of course, windows runs off of the 3ghz dualcore system with 2gb of ram, but then again, that system doesn't run X [09:25] If you're trying to share users between instances, for god's sake STOP. [09:25] yeah, xubuntu will definitely be better for older or less beefy hardware [09:26] hello all, how do I find out more info, on the commandline, for a package that has been 'kept back'? [09:26] paul68: xubuntu is lightweight for slower hardware [09:26] tanveer: oh, totally. vista is a nightmare. [09:26] and you can theme it so it doesn't look plain. [09:26] You'll end up destroying your OS if you're not careful.

[09:27] How strong is the encryption I get from using cryptsetup with luks and every setting to default? [09:27] tanveer: really, it all depends on what you need and want to do with your computer - if your married to photoshop, then try to get it running in ubuntu, or just stick with xp - it's up to you, ubuntu isn't for everyone, but it works fine for a lot of people [09:27] acuster: you can run 'apt-cache search packagenamehere' or you can message ubottu in irc '/msg ubottu !info packnamehere' [09:27] efu: Depends.

[09:29] acuster: generally, packages that are being held back are being held back because they are kernel changes or major updates. From the terminal, you can run 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' to upgrade those [09:29] tanveer, not kde [09:29] stealth-, thanks, but I can see that mercurial has been kept back---I'm trying to learn what version it is [09:29] and it's kubuntu-desktop [09:29] troopperi: dont run that [09:29] wind0pain: minor differences in distribution releases [09:29] not kde [09:29] Question about my sound, it seems a little low, everything is max'd as far as volume and outputs, any reason (its a Realtek chipset) [09:29] Gnea: I always do it in a screen session with ssh turned on as well.

Slower, but nicer [09:29] paul68: i was just saying xubuntu uses less resources and does look plain. but it can be themed to look just as good as a gnome desktop thats all [09:30] tanveer: it depends on your point of view - I think they both suck :) [09:30] i mean thats just aesthetics anyway === fuzzybunny96y is now known as fuzzybunny69y [09:30] IS KDE WHAT MAC LOOKS LIKE?

[09:33] Linux makes people do thing by their way. So keep finding [09:33] * wind0pain is switching to ubuntu because his new pc came with vista. [09:33] tanveer: sure [09:33] NewApples: and you can use squid with iptables to setup transproxying scanning - so any web traffic over a lan automatically gets scanned no matter what someone's web settings are [09:33] tanveer: Yes, because computers just aren't slow enough... [09:33] Gnea i am looking for an antivirus program that will protect me against viruses when i use my computer when i surf the web when i basically do anything [09:33] tanveer: http://gnome-look.org/index.php?xsortmode=high&page=0&xcontentmode=100 [09:34] NewApples: you cant get virus's on linux [09:34] !virus | NewApples [09:34] NewApples: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 === regis_ is now known as Regux [09:34] stealth: are you sure? [09:34] stealth- i disagree with you so much on that topic [09:34] NewApples: but that's only gonna be good if you intend to share the information with windows machines [09:34] gnea it.. returned to console with an "OK" flag [09:34] whatvn: yes [09:34] !virus | NewApples [09:34] i will still keep vista on it to run apps that do not exist for or are too costly for me to buy for linux but i do not want vista for browsing the web, email, etc... no way. [09:34] NewApples: umm... you cant. Its the way linux is designed. There has only ever been one virus that ever actually did anything [09:34] yop [09:34] you said that there is no virus on linux, include malware, rookit? [09:34] stealth-: nah, I see what NewApples is saying [09:35] Gnea I am looking basically for a border guard and an active military force on my computer that seeks out and destroys the enemy [09:35] you could get a virus on linux. there just isn't any interest [09:35] whatvn: Depends upon definition. [09:35] i mean it is probably possible [09:35] NewApples: heh, iptables+squid+thatsquidvirusscannerpluginthingy will do the job [09:35] /etc/default/cpufrequtils ? [09:35] !squid [09:35] squid is a caching proxy for the Web. See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SquidGuard See: http://www.squid-cache.org [09:35] windows just has the install base, and the moronic "security" model that makes it to easy [09:35] infinityxi: well the virus would be unable to spread and then nobody else would get it so no it doesnt work [09:36] how do I turn off the acess permission for my NTFS partition? It seems to ask every session an lesser users cannot ask at all [09:36] you're assuming there there wouldn't be a vulnerability in any software you run [09:36] stealth-: actually, linux *can* get viruses - it's just much more difficult [09:36] why do you think you get security updates from the repos? [09:36] newbie: unmount it lol [09:36] newbie: Sounds like a question for #windows? :D [09:36] it's about risk vs reward [09:36] it's harder to infect a linux system [09:36] infinityxi: linux is designed in a way that viruses cannot spread. If there was a vunerability in the software you run, nothing would happen because the virus would not be able to run since it cant write to the program binary. [09:37] The viruses that actually cause a lot of trouble on windows nowadays, are executables that need to be run by the user. That relies on user mistakes, and that can happen just as easily on linux. [09:37] and there aren't that many desktops out there vs windows [09:37] stealth- i disagree and this Ubuntu instruction web page also disagrees with you https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [09:37] Gnea: I know, ive done research :) [09:37] yeah because you never sudo to do anything right stealth-? [09:37] Gnea i will look at that [09:37] KB1JWQ: I asked but they didn't undertand what permission meant [09:37] stealth-: I gotta disagree with that statement. if a user downloads to a samba share and it's not scanned and quarantined, then anybody on a windows system could click on it. [09:37] newbie: Perhaps you're not asking what you think you're asking? [09:37] stealth: that why many av written for Linux. Clamav or something likes it [09:38] NewApples | infinityxi : Im not saying virus's are impossible to get. What im saying is they die faster than they can spread so they are effectively not a problem [09:38] no you actually said they were impossible [09:38] KB1JWQ: most likeley not. [09:38] now you're just agreeing with me [09:38] infinityxi: because they cant get started [09:38] Gnea: starting gdm the way you recommended isn't working [09:38] stealth-: viruses don't just automatically 'die faster' in linux - there has to be a scanning method to find and take care of it if that was true [09:38] stealth- ok stealth i trade with stocks on my computer before when i had windows i would by one computer own it for onw week then destroy it [09:38] infinityxi: im not saying the systems are invincible, im saying its not gonna spread to anyone so its no longer a virus. Its just an exploit [09:38] what I mean to say is how to I get it to stop asking me for permission to access and just access it. [09:38] gartral: try 'restart' instead of 'start' [09:39] stealth-: You are incorrect. [09:39] gartral: startx? [09:39] most linux viruses target servers [09:39] Exploits for BIND, Sendmail, httpd, and others exist. [09:39] steatlh- sO NO i do not believe you and stealth i want protection that is why i am trying linux [09:39] they aren't really interested in linux desktops [09:39] well the virus writers, the virus is kind of impartial [09:39] stealth-: at this point, you're better off admitting you were wrong and that you're just spouting off what someone wrote on some random page or from the bot :) [09:39] *sigh*. You guys obviously dont understand. Whatever. Read this article and send this guy an email if you think he is wrong [09:39] !virus [09:39] A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [09:40] making statements like linux can't ever get viruses is not only wrong, it's smug [09:40] and i'm not a mac user [09:40] sudo apt-get install conflicker [09:40] infinityxi people who make viruses do so to be able to acurie account and credit card and bank information tif they do so corretly they can make money, I wish to protect my self against this type of viruses so I want an antivirus program that actively scans against viruses and protects me [09:40] madmax_X: lol [09:40] madmax_X: sudo needed? [09:40] madmax_X: hah! [09:40] stealth-: One good exploit in the 2.6.28 TCP/IP stack, and you've got a whole nother problem. :) [09:41] NewApples: do you plan on installing software NOT from the repositories? [09:41] stealth-: are you done? now, please direct your attention to www.securityfocus.com and http://packetstormsecurity.org/ [09:41] madmax_X: Server is already active for display 0 [09:41] i mean one big reason a lot of windows machines get trojans is because the software model is grabbing software from a random site [09:41] wget virtumonde ~/Desktop === geo is now known as geo05 [09:41] KB1JWQ: think whatever you want, just read the article and argue with that guy. You guys are some of those people who argueing with is pointless [09:41] stealth-: and while you're there, please do be looking for things called 'rootkits' [09:42] sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [09:42] infinityxi YES my stock trading program is not from the repositories, also i want to be able to surf the net and read different news pappers [09:42] sudo killall gdm [09:42] NewApples: install NoScript [09:42] for firefo [09:42] Gnea: your suggestion faulterd, as well [09:42] hi [09:42] Gnea: *sigh*. Exploits, rootkits, etc. Thats funny, no viruses. hm... if you havnt noticed. A rootkit is called a rootkit cause its not a virus [09:42] infinityxi what is NoScript and what does it do [09:42] if you're worried about random sites screwing with you. though it is highly unlikely [09:43] gartral: ctrl + alt + F7 [09:43] NewApples: NoScript prevents scripts from running on a webpage unless you want it to [09:43] * KB1JWQ thinks it's time for the /ignore [09:43] infinityxi i am always worried about everything all the time [09:43] this way there is less of a chance of a website doing something it isn't supposed to do. [09:43] madmax_X: no virtual consols, trying to get ming working [09:43] infinityxi i see [09:43] stealth: wikipedia has a topic just for Linux Virus. you can check it out [09:43] oh and btw stealth, sometimes trojans and viruses don't care about the rest of the system [09:43] i mean if you have cc info in your home directory [09:44] who cares if it can't access /var [09:44] infinityxi what i want is an antivirus program that actively scans my computer and if by some chans something does come in i want it destroyed [09:44] gartral: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [09:44] ok, i can use "cpufreq-selector -c 0 -g powersave" to switch to powersave mode... how can i run that command at startup? is there a file i can simply add that to or do i need to create a separate script? [09:44] gartral: sudo killall gdm [09:44] whatvn: yeah and you can read that article and talk to him, for the third time ill say it [09:44] stealth-: hrm, gee, and I wonder what software would be called that protects against such things, as well as viruses intended to target windows and mac systems? maybe... an anti-virus scanner?! [09:44] stealth-: This is a support channel; please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [09:44] gartral: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [09:44] KB1JWQ: um... if you havnt noticed, they keep talking to me. [09:44] wind0pain: add it to start up program [09:44] madmax_X: iv'e issued that twice, it just "oks" at stopping then starting again, and returns to console leaving me dry.. [09:45] gartral: does it do anything/ [09:45] i see someone saying to write #!/bin/bash but i don't understand what that does [09:45] Gnea: linux AV software are only good for scanning your samba shares for windows viruses.. [09:45] Which is the best antivirus program for Ubuntu? [09:45] whatvn: start up program? [09:45] stealth-: the point is, you're arguing a pointless argument. just because a factoid "says it's so" doesn't mean that it's blanketly 100% true in all cases. [09:45] hold on i'll look it up for you [09:45] SiDi: are they? [09:45] NewApples: ClavAV has been here for a while... but i seriously doubt you need an antivirus [09:45] madmax_X: the gdm greeter is supposedly loaded according to top.. but i never see it [09:45] wind0pain: go to system-preference-startup app [09:46] stealth-: sometimes we need to make edits to the factoids. blindly relying on them will get you nowhere, fast. [09:46] SiDi yes i noticed ClavAV in the applications add/remove it is called Virus scanner do you mean that one ? [09:46] did you try killall [09:46] Gnea: I know, but Ive got enough experience to know its true. I've experimented with linux viruses before. NONE of them worked. But yes, I would like this conversation to end too :) [09:46] NewApples: go to add/remove software [09:46] type in "virus" [09:46] Gnea: i doubt kaspersky/put your favourite windows "security" editor here got any knowledge of how to stop viruses while they dont even have any in the wild with which they can train [09:46] SiDi I am the most paranoid person on the planet whenyou write that i think that you are a hacker who wants to get mya ccount info... [09:46] "Virus Scanner" - its a frontend for ClamAV which is a good virus scanning app [09:46] madmax_X: yes [09:46] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=944190 <--command line cpu frequency scaling [09:46] NewApples: i meant that one. If you're paranoid at this stage, drop Linux and go for OpenBSD or FreeBSD ;) [09:46] Gnea: lol, also. How can I get nowhere fast? [09:46] stealth: and you think people who write av for linux are all stupid *or whatever word you called* ?:| [09:47] stealth-: good, then if you're in agreement that 'you' are not 'everyone else', then I do believe that we are done. :) [09:47] infinityxi ok does it update, it it updatable does it constantly add new virus lists to itself? [09:47] gartral: and your ins F7 [09:47] yes it has virus definition updates [09:47] ctrl alt f6 [09:47] I have a problem, when i play something (like on youtube) on firefox i hear no sound [09:47] ctrl alt f1 [09:47] SiDi I am very paranoid but i am not computer wiz, this linux version is so far the only one that i atleast am able to use and understand i a limited fashion [09:47] what does dmesg say? [09:48] SiDi I only understand stocks, not computers [09:48] whatvn: thanks... will these run if i switch to kde too? [09:48] SiDi: If you're [that] paranoid, I suggest you ax your machine. >:}~ [09:48] NewApples: There's DragonFlyBSD that is designed for desktop end users :p [09:48] Does anybody know how to forward gpg-agent/seahorse/pinentry over ssh? [09:48] SiDi: it's a matter of perspective - just because something hasn't been detected 'in the wild' doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, or at least has a lower probability of being out there or even active. [09:48] madmax_X: im not on an ubuntu or even linux machine, im running ubuntu at home and wish to get gdm over xming on a windows client [09:48] look, if a virus scan every now and then lets him sleep sound at night [09:48] wind0pain: i didn't use KDE before, sory. I dont have experience with kde [09:48] why the hell not? [09:48] np thx [09:48] infinityxi: agreed [09:49] gartral: ohhhhh you running zdmcp server? [09:49] SiDi i spent this whole weekened trying to figure out Ubuntu linux i am way to lazy to figure out something else also there is a time factor, please just tell me the ebst anti virus for Ubuntu linux [09:49] so you can add these command to rc.local, it will start this program too [09:49] xdmcp [09:49] you also have to realize that people coming into the linux world from windows [09:49] madmax_X: the ctrl+alt+Fxx key combs dont work with xming [09:49] have circuitry that says they have to virus scan [09:49] ya srry missed that part [09:49] how can I kill a process(es) that I only know the name of? [09:49] Gnea: the last attacks against linux machines are some damn password bruteforces on routers with a web interface... i don't mean we'll *never* have viruses, but : 1) linux is safer than windows in terms of intrusions | 2) our software distribution system makes it much much MUCH safer for our users [09:49] stealth-: killall [09:50] SiDi: Did you move to linux from Windows recently? [09:50] gartral: the chooser is up on your screen at home [09:50] wind0pain: so you can add these command to rc.local, it will start this program too [09:50] madmax_X: no... xming just attactes strait onto the X11 server as a [09:50] stealth-: but you knew that [09:50] Gnea: oh yeah, thanks [09:50] NewApples: if you're feeling paranoid why not run some intrusion detection stuff.. rkhunter might be useful too.. write logs to some non-erasable medium.. and do proper backups.. that will keep you reasonably safe without trying to create a perfect system [09:50] it's branded in their brain that for a computer to function 50% of the CPU should be dedicated to symantec [09:50] NewApples: the best antivirus is to not grab packages from websites and to only use the official repository for updates [09:50] mobi-sheep: about 8 months ago. [09:50] Gnea: lol, no. Im still messing with pstree and top :P [09:50] stealth-: I thought you said you knew what you were talking about ;) [09:50] NewApples: just go with the assumption that you will, at some point, get totally owned by something you couldn't defend against [09:50] Slart I know nothing about computers that is way over my capacity, I am looking for the best click click ok ok next next install Linux antivirus program [09:51] stealth-: j/k :) [09:51] whatvn: does rc.local just run at a different time? i'd like to understand what scripts run at different times, for instance also where are the scripts that run only when users login and logout [09:51] madmax_X: yes, my display is at home, but xming was assighned "disply 10.0" by the X11 server [09:51] Slart that is not an acceptable option [09:51] SiDi: you will find no argument there [09:51] Gnea: the above was a joke. I get alot into programing, but I still am unfamiliar with some server stuff [09:51] NewApples: software you install from the repository is signed meaning that if something is not kosher it will alert you. Software you get from random websites even for linux, you could scan if you wanted [09:51] NewApples: i seriously think there is no _need_ of this :) just don't modify your system, don't grab ubuntu software from websites around, and you should be ok [09:51] stealth-: it's all good [09:51] NewApples: are you really? so you're not really just looking for a way to not get your stuff deleted/destroyed? [09:51] gartral pm'd [09:51] when you add a command to rc.local, this command will run whenever system start up [09:51] Sidi I understand so you are saying the best option is the virus scanner provided by appliactions add/remove? [09:52] madmax_X: irssi seems too have broken PM support [09:52] wind0pain: and also it stops when system shutdown [09:52] i need some help I just reinstalled ubuntu 8.10. i am trying to connect to the internet wirelessly and it isnt working. what should i try to do???????? [09:52] NewApples: again, the best option is being careful. I don't think an antivirus software would help you at all. Usually they can recognise a virus _after_ it killed thousands of PCs, so i don't see the point [09:52] http://www.ax697.org/xming-with-windows-xp-and-ubuntu-200749.html [09:52] gartral [09:52] SiDi: Ah I see. If you want AntiVirus because you felt insecurity without having it running all times. I know because I felt awkward when I switched over. It's a matter of false security. In a way, you're saying that you prefer Antivirus running [supposedly] only to alleviate your concerns. [09:53] donkey: how about wireless driver? [09:53] using "startup applications" didn't seem to work.. processors still boot up in ondemand [09:53] B43 [09:53] whatvn b43 [09:53] NewApples: there are so many options for virus scanning in Ubuntu that you can practically have it scan its own scans - if you're looking for a GUI, it's there (clamgtk or something like that) and if you don't mind editting some config files, squid will actively scan your web traffic - it'll do port 80 and 443 [09:54] wind0pain: can I know your command? [09:54] Gnea, all i want is to keep mya ccount information safe [09:54] i see /etc/init.d/rc.local and /etc/rc.local.. both the same? yes, the command is cpufreq-selector -c 0 -g powersave and cpufreq-selector -c 1 -g powersave [09:54] donkey: b43? what it meant? [09:54] SiDi: Oh Lulz. [09:54] Gnea, account information === matiu is now known as Guest46270 [09:54] whatvn: i see /etc/init.d/rc.local and /etc/rc.local.. both the same? yes, the command is cpufreq-selector -c 0 -g powersave and cpufreq-selector -c 1 -g powersave [09:54] NewApples: do you have account info in a file somewhere or in a program? [09:54] wind0pain: first one [09:55] NewApples: oh.. and one more thing.. if there one day comes a working virus to the linux platform, guess what distro they will be targeting.. the largest one [09:55] whatvn what you mean what it meant? [09:55] you can probably encrypt your sensitive files [09:55] donkey: b43? [09:55] what the diff between gimpshop and gimp image editor?? [09:55] whatvn yes [09:55] NewApples: http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Security/SquidClamAv-8089.shtml [09:55] tanveer: the gui.. gimpshop was made to look more like photoshop iirc [09:55] donkey: I meant what is ...b43? :| [09:55] i installed gimp shop but it hasnt came up on graphic [09:55] Slart and which one is the largest one [09:55] yeah gimpshop has MDI window model i believe [09:55] i cant find it [09:56] whatvn broadcom [09:56] i installed the .deb and it i can find it [09:56] NewApples: use an LVN encrypted hard drive disk (you need the alternate install cd for that), don't share your username/password, don't store any passwords in 'seahorse', don't install ssh/ftp/apache/anything on your machine, don't accept any .py/.sh/.bin/.run file from the web, don't execute any file received by email (open them with their respective apps [09:56] infinityxi no it is only in my head but to log onto the trading program i need to click on the keyboard to enter it into the program when i log into it [09:56] NewApples: there is a site called distrowatch.. my guess is ubuntu/fedora/mandrake or .. suse perhaps? [09:56] NewApples: instead) and you'll be TOTALLY safe. [09:56] NewApples: have you read this yet? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Security [09:56] donkey: lspci | grep Wireless ? [09:57] SiDi what i did before is buy one laptop pc per week ONLY use it for tradeing then destroy it, but that is so wastefull so that is one of the reasons i came to linux [09:57] Slart: your argument about largest distro isnt relevant. If it hits us it'll hit mint/debian/ a lot of distros aswell. Only Fedora/RedHat are a bit different with their SELinux stuff [09:57] NewApples: wow, you should have sent me the old machines instead ;) [09:58] hey can you "destroy" some laptops to my home address if you still do that? [09:58] lol [09:58] is there a plugin for k3b to allow it to burn .img files to cdroms? [09:58] madmax_X: i pretty much figured all that out on my own, im trying for the encrypted variant, but i can log IN but i can't start the X server.. [09:58] you can keep the hard drive ;-) [09:58] NewApples: you destroyed whole units?! [09:58] madmax_X: x session, rather [09:58] SiDi: true, perhaps I should have phrased it as "go with something small and different" [09:59] Slart: you meant go with *bsd :p [09:59] gartral but are you loggin in via ssh [09:59] NewApples: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Security and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystems will give you more info [09:59] NewApples: most brokers and banks will alert you to changes and activity in your accounts... your information could just as easily be stolen from them as from your computer... well maybe easier from you but really, just keep an eye on it [09:59] madmax_X: yes. [09:59] i installed gimpshop and it cant be found?? [09:59] SiDi: I didn't want to say it.. but yes.. that was the one I had in mind =) [09:59] NewApples: you can also watch for current security issues here : http://www.ubuntu.com/usn [09:59] damn... still starting in "ondemand" power mode [09:59] dont ya need to tunnel to the xdmcp port on the server [09:59] tanveer: tried running gimpshop in a terminal? [09:59] NewApples: take it from me, you're more likely to have your info used by a bad employee [09:59] Gnea yes [09:59] than for a virus to steal it on linux [10:00] NewApples: when you install firefox, you should install the noscript plugin as well, that will prevent click-jacking and XSS, among other things [10:00] i had my banking info compromised and it ended up being an employee [10:00] NewApples: you could aswell only destroy the HDD and _send me_ the rest of the machines :p [10:00] nope i installed it using .deb [10:00] sounding like a moron.. how do i do that? [10:00] slart:how can i find it? [10:00] Wind0pain if my account information is accuried anyone can jsut log in and transfer my money out OR even worse they can just start tradeing and trade badly and lose all my money [10:00] !terminal | tanveer [10:00] tanveer: 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 [10:00] SiDi: no fair, i have dibs lol [10:00] Does anyone know if it is at all possible yet to install Xorg 1.5 on Jaunty? [10:00] tanveer: go to terminal and type gimpshop [10:00] i found terminal now wat [10:00] NewApples: do you work for the government or a terrorist organisation? [10:01] does anyone know where i can get a shitlist for xchat please? [10:01] NewApples, wow.... destroying machines.... I wanna do that too.... [10:01] tanveer: type "gimpshop", press enter [10:01] command not found [10:01] Vesayth: you can try to grab the pckages from intrepid but seeing how many packages depend on it i'd say it's faster to go on intrepid and install the jaunty packages you'll miss [10:01] SiDi no nothing was spared everything was destroyed I still do this I see it as a running cost, I make way more by trading then what the computers cost, think of it more as a cost to be able to trade [10:01] NewApples: and that would be fraudulent.. your broker doesn't protect you from things like that? [10:01] technophobic: please ask in #xchat [10:01] ok Gnea , thanks [10:01] Gnea haha maybe ;) [10:01] tanveer: have you tried starting the normal gimp? [10:02] gartral isnt it in the putty config page on setting up a tunnel [10:02] yh thats works [10:02] wind=pain i like zero risk [10:02] Does anybody know of a good way to use ffmpeg to extract audio from a video? [10:02] tanveer: type in which gimpshop and press enter [10:02] NewApples: it would probably be more beneficial to donate the old machines and just destroy the hard drives [10:02] NewApples: :) [10:02] but i want gimpshop [10:02] NewApples: then you should not be in the market. [10:02] NewApples: as a geek i still find it scandalous to destroy PCs :) if you wipe them out and give them to linux user groups they can use the hardware to make better drivers for instance :p [10:02] run it through a really powerful magnet and spare the rest of the hardware [10:02] i tried it says bash: gimpshop [10:02] tanveer: type in which gimpshop and press enter [10:02] investing is risky by definition.

[11:32] :/ [11:32] wow.. I feel chaotic already.. [11:32] what is wrong with people [11:32] Well I need another solution: There are some windows (like, for example, the window of the compiz-mgm) which cant be resized or do at least have a minimal size to which they cant be scaled below. Is there a way of force-disabling this minimal size so i can shrink windows as I wish (i need to because my netbook screen is so little - (i know there is UNR))?! [11:33] ManDay: there are some shortcuts for zooming a window in and out.. but I'm not sure if you can still interact with it [11:34] well i dont want the whole window to "zoom". i just want to resize it (content still original size - although it may break within a too-small window) [11:34] ManDay: also, you can use Alt+Left mousebutton to move windows around when you don't actually see the top window bar [11:34] very helpful tip, thanks [11:35] ManDay: I don't know how to do that.. sounds like it might be possible to override something like minimum window size but it might break the application I suppose === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam [11:35] i think so too. but sometimes i have the feeling that the imposed minimal size is just for cosmetical reasons which are not essential to functionailty [11:36] ManDay: yup, I think so too [11:38] :sy;ph vlear [11:38] bah [11:39] homerow fail [11:40] ngh.. getting a headache.. what were you trying to type? =) [11:40] things are getting a little confusing. in the window-selector i have set "show windows from current workspace only" but it still displays tabs for windows from all workspaces [11:40] any... idea? === TDK is now known as Zer0 [11:43] ManDay: which plugin are you using? the "static application switcher" ? [11:43] errm [11:43] no idea the one that is offered in the "add to panel..." dialog [11:44] its called "window switcher" [11:44] ManDay: window selector? [11:44] ManDay: or window list? [11:44] window list - my bad [11:45] ManDay: hmm.. odd.. it works here.. I only get the windows from the current workspace [11:45] jeeeez christ [11:45] thats becoming one big mess [11:46] i think gnome and compiz are somewhat incompatible as for what they consider "desktops" and "workspaces" [11:47] ManDay: indeed.. but it's getting better (if that's any consolation) [11:47] hope dies last :P [11:47] well i think i will get it to work [11:48] just takes a while [11:48] i'm trying to find .pidgin folde can anyone help me [11:48] hi, not specifically a ubuntu question, but I used gparted from the ubuntu livecd to do some partition resizing/removing on my system that had windows xp installed and now my computer is coming up with a disk boot failure. anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? [11:49] er === Guest31144 is now known as Psykus [11:49] Guest31144 = Psykus [11:50] painted: it's probably in your home folder.. not files/folders starting with a dot is hidden by default.. ctrl+h in nautilus to show them [11:50] all right im sorry but i need your help again [11:50] ManDay: go ahead [11:51] nope, not there, slart :( [11:51] i enabled all the desktop things but i just cant get it running. i set up some shortcuts but using them does nothing. for instance: desktop cube - initiate: ctrl+alt+button1 - but pressing it and nothing happens [11:51] Psykus: try insert windows cd and repair ? [11:52] yeah tried using the repair console for fixmbr, fixboot, all that good stuff [11:52] painted: hmm.. I haven't got a pidgin folder either.. are you sure there is supposed to be one? [11:52] ManDay: you enabled the plugin? and you are running the desktop effects? [11:53] no, slart [11:53] Psykus: so maybe you have a bad partition table [11:53] what you mean= [11:53] How do you check if the place where you put your microphone jack works? [11:53] oh yes i enabled desktop effects on medium [11:53] ManDay: in ccsm [11:53] Psykus: weard, hmm, this might not be helpful, but.. skip the windows part, install linux only, and run windows in virtualbox, you will have no problems xD [11:53] anyway: i got the expo part to run [11:53] kryle: hehe [11:54] but still my window list shows windows from all workspaces [11:54] kryle: upon further reading I found that error might be caused by the windows partition not being set as active/boot, so I checked around and used gparted to mark it as boot, and now it just sits there with a blinking _, so progress i guess! [11:54] which is confusing [11:54] ManDay: I mean, is the cube plugin activated in the compizconfig-settings-manager? you can enable/disable plugins.. there's a checkbox on the left side or near the plugin name [11:54] going to hop back into the XP CD now [11:54] yes enabled [11:54] what's the command to completely remove files including the settings [11:55] painted: sudo apt-get remove --purge [11:55] ManDay: hmm.. you are running ubuntu jaunty, right? [11:55] thx, slart [11:55] dunno [11:55] 9.04 vanilla [11:55] How do you check if the place where you put your microphone jack works? [11:55] Psykus: outh, i think i had a problem like that one time when i installed mac osx on my pc to dualboot, and flaggen wrong disk at the end of install.. but i never fixed it, i just put a format c:\... [11:55] ManDay: that is Ubuntu Jaunty alright [11:56] yeah, I *just* finished reinstalling XP so I want to avoid that :\ [11:56] because windows 7 broke it somehow [11:56] ManDay: then I don't really know why it doesn't work for you.. I've never had any problems with shortcuts in compiz not doing their job.. [11:56] bah windows [11:56] How do you check if the place where you put your microphone jack works? [11:56] currently im rather struggling with the window list which keeps displaying windows from other workspaces [11:57] which is sorta bothersome because when I try to click the window nothing happens [11:57] hi [11:57] i have a little problem installing updates [11:57] apt-get update works [11:58] but when i try to upgrade i get 404's on all packages [11:58] How do you check if the place where you put your microphone jack works? [11:59] Smurfbuntu: what version of ubuntu are you running? [11:59] Shortguy109: try to record from the microphone? [12:00] Smurfbuntu: also try switching servers , like try the main server [12:00] Slart, latest [12:00] Smurfbuntu: then try using another mirror [12:00] ok [12:01] obake [12:02] hey, is it possible with volume control to mix stereo to mono, or with rhythmbox? I don't seem to find the option [12:03] thx that work [12:03] mirrors must be out of sync [12:03] thx [12:04] Busata: I don't think so.. the volume control only.. well.. controls the volume [12:04] How do you check if the place where you put your microphone jack works? [12:04] join #ubuntu-fr [12:05] Slart: ok thanks, I'll look for a rhythmbox plugin then [12:05] how would i go about installing the alternate drivers for my alfa 500mw wifi card... the mac80211 drivers suck [12:10] How do you check if the place where you put your microphone jack works? [12:11] Shortguy109: record something from the microphone.. if it works the jack works.. that's about the only way to know [12:11] each time I restart my pc my default setup of "mouse key" turn to be disable ? why? === C7351853 is now known as chalcedony [12:12] Hi. After upgrading util-linux to newest version loop-aes stopped working. I get "LOOP_SET_STATUS: Invalid argument" error. What can be the cause? [12:13] Hi - can anyone point me to reasonable information on CentOS vs Ubuntu for servers? I've used Ubuntu myself, but our Managed Services guys seem to look down on anything that isn't Fedora / CentOS? [12:14] j [12:14] I am so tired of Skype and their lack of support for the Linux community. Are there any alternatives that will run on both Windows and Linux? [12:14] justsee: well.. centos seems to be widely used for server stuff.. I haven't seen a comparison though [12:14] albech: ekiga is one [12:15] Slart: hmm yeah. This guy seems to recently complain about CentOS's repositories vs Ubuntu, but wasn't entirely convincing: http://is.gd/AGkj [12:16] albech: whats the problem in skype? [12:16] centos is the free version of RHEL which is the enterprise one and charge for service ,, so [12:17] justsee: interesting.. but I doubt I would select my OS based on the information of one blogger =) [12:18] ragazzi qualcuno può darmi una mano ho un piccolo problemino con ubuntu? [12:18] royalwarecast: yes. Just debating, as I'm setting up a new personal vm to host my websites. Tending towards Ubuntu as I'm more familiar with Debian, but if we're using CentOS at work. I suppose it's not the end of the world if I go Ubuntu Server for personal stuff. [12:20] just for my two bob's worth, got rid of PULSE AUDIO and now everything works! [12:20] kino, skype, gstreamer, etc [12:21] Hi guys === leflere is now known as Wlf [12:21] Im trying to move files from one Ubuntu 9.04 machine to the other via a switch, how do I do it? [12:21] is there anyone here from Canonical that would have any idea if there's a major problem with me combining a screenshot of the words "Ubuntu One" with the cloud logo and using it on a blog post? It's important I ask as you guys own the trademark. [12:21] Is there a developer there? Please, do something about Pulse, it breaks everything! What a joke, sorry. . . [12:21] I just emailed PR, but knowing my luck they'll reply after my article appears on the internet, which I (stupidly) submitted without thinking. [12:22] I try to SSH into my laptop via the ethernet connection, but it states Connection Refused. [12:22] Slart, after i restarted it works [12:22] at least the window list thing [12:22] ManDay: ah.. my faith in compiz is restored =) [12:22] lol [12:23] How would you transfer files between two Jaunty machines via ethernet? [12:23] bloupotlood: I think you have to explicity enable remote ssh login with Ubuntu [12:23] bloupotlood: rsync [12:23] qualcuno mi da una mano ho un problema con ubuntu? [12:23] bloupotlood: ftp might be the easiest.. [12:23] ozzmosis: rsync, how do you do that? [12:23] Slart: cool man, how do you go abouts doing that in FTP? [12:24] bloupotlood: install an ftp-server on one machine.. and a client on the other [12:24] rsync -av user@remotehost:/folder/ localfolder/ [12:24] let me try [12:24] take note: i cant install anything due to a 3g incompatibilty with ubuntu 9.04 [12:24] ftp is generally less secure [12:24] bloupotlood: rsync is a nice choice too.. might be better than ftp [12:24] justsee: what you mentioned is that they look down on those are not fedora / centos , and you are familiar with debain , so just do what you want since they are others [12:24] let me check it out. [12:24] rsync will work over ssh [12:24] Slart: sweet dude. [12:25] justsee: as I'm concerned [12:26] Slart: ok, say my laptop is 192.168.1.100, and my desktop is 192.168.1.101, how would i rsync files from the laptop to the desktop? [12:27] bloupotlood: see ozzmosis answer.. exchange remotehost for 192.168.1.101 and run the command on 192.168.1.100 [12:27] royalwarecast: agreed. I'm just going with Jaunty for my VM. I'll have an opportunity at work to play with CentOS, and have a much better opinion of both in 6 months to make any judgements. cheers. [12:28] any idea why sometimes my background slides with the workspace and someties not? [12:28] ManDay: any kind of patter to when it doesn't and when it does? [12:29] havent noticed any pattern [12:29] justsee: maybe you need a stable system to host your sites [12:29] what is it for you? [12:29] ManDay: there is a setting for which classes of windows slider and which classes stay fixed when you switch workspaces [12:29] How do I transfer all of my Evolution accounts and e-mails from a PC with Gutsy Gibbon to a PC with Jaunty? [12:29] does the bg slide with the ws? [12:29] OK im downloading Samba .tar.gz format, ill rather try and move files to my XP installation from the Jaunty notebook. [12:29] ok ill tryto find it [12:29] but I'm not so familiar to vitrual machine [12:30] ManDay: check the settings for the "Desktop Wall" in ccsm [12:31] im currently doing so [12:31] ManDay: there is a setting for "Non Sliding Windows" === Cryotronic_ is now known as Cryotronic [12:32] ManDay: those are the window types that stay fixed while you change workspace.. if you remove the "desktop" part there it will slide together with the icons [12:32] anyone here good with wifi drivers and the like i need some help [12:32] i cant find it slart [12:32] where exactly is it? [12:32] are there updated packages for the radeon driver and mesa for jaunty? [12:32] ah wait [12:32] i see [12:32] ManDay: in the "Viewport switching" tab [12:32] there is that | seperated list [12:32] ManDay: correct [12:32] because on jaunty there seem to be several regressions regarding the radeon driver. [12:33] question: if I copy root from an ubuntu install to a 3.5 drive, do I need to edit any files specifying the path of the hard drive before I use it to try to boot a pc from it? [12:33] well, itt says desktop there but still the desktop flips [12:33] ManDay: hmm.. how are you switch desktops? [12:33] hello [12:34] with ctrl alt + arrow or by dragging windows [12:34] *switching [12:34] I have received few updates since I installed the Jaunty [12:34] ManDay: and ctrl+arrow sometimes slides the background? [12:34] not jus tsometimes [12:34] always - since recently [12:34] maybe another restart... lol [12:35] ManDay: hehe [12:35] Ive downloaded Samba.tar.gz, how would I install that? [12:35] how do you use the desktop cube? i press ctrl-alt-down but nothing happens [12:35] ManDay: I removed the desktop part from that configuration and my desktop slides with the icons now... all the time [12:35] !cube [12:35] Compiz-Fusion (and the older Compiz and Beryl) are window managers that employ the "composite" extension of X to draw windows using graphics cards' 3D hardware.

[12:38] bloupotlood: first consider if you really need to install from source.. do that a couple of times.. then read the README file or the INSTALL file that usually comes in the tar-file [12:38] Slart: trying to install Samba mate. [12:38] onlt a bot donot have AI? [12:38] Is there a Ubuntu ISO that does not contain instalation capabilitys? [12:38] bloupotlood: the method isn't the same for all source packages.. usually it's "./configure" "make" "sudo make install" but sometimes it's different [12:38] Cant access the web from my laptop, only via my XP machine, due to the fact that my 3G donble isnt supported by Ubuntu. [12:38] Slart: ah ok [12:39] hallo [12:39] bloupotlood: why not download a deb-package then? packages.ubuntu.com might be able to help [12:39] bloupotlood: a deb-package is like a install file.. it's designed for ubuntu, will create menu's, setup stuff etc etc.. no need for compiling [12:40] anyone? [12:40] Beepbeepjeep: what would this ubuntu iso be then? just a live cd? [12:40] Beepbeepjeep: or a collection of packages? [12:41] wubi? [12:41] Slart: k will do. [12:41] Just live CD so people i introduce to Ubuntu do not have the ability to accedently install it over windows and blame me [12:41] Beepbeepjeep: you'd have to try pretty hard to accidentally install it [12:42] Beepbeepjeep: simplest thing would be to roll your own with the "install" icon taken off the desktop and the install option taken off the boot menu [12:42] Beepbeepjeep: ahhh..

[12:49] Phase: you might need to install the package "build-essential" [12:50] Beepbeepjeep: you can tell them to be careful not to click it and if they senes good , they can just install it and you can lead them to the wonderful linux step by step [12:50] ..

[12:53] ugh this is going to drive me postal [12:53] Beepbeepjeep: or you can teach them how to do the simple things that to part the hard disk if they are interested in linux [12:53] Phase: Ati drivers are still giving people problems though.. wifi stuff is better but still not as good as for certain other os's.. [12:54] Slart well, I'm a developer, and I understood that I don't like OS issues... I used gentoo for a while, but each time i needed something I had to read tons of manuals and stuff [12:54] hope it be of use [12:54] How good it is for programmers? [12:54] Slart, guess what [12:54] the non-sliding thing just started working [12:54] no idea why but it did [12:54] :) [12:55] Phase: that would depend on the programmer =) ..

[14:55] SandGorgon, correct [14:56] 9400 sorry [14:56] SandGorgon: it should be there, however, you may have to mount it [14:57] nibsa1242b, nah.. i think hal can do it automatically [14:57] someone using a nokia 5800xm + bluetooth, who can provide me with the output of "sdptool browse" pls? === john is now known as Guest64414 [14:57] compengi: depends on how you have things set up... which is why I used may to signify possibility [14:58] ;) [14:58] i've got a half-working kubuntu 7.04 (feisty) that i'm trying to convert to a fully working ubuntu 9.04 (jaunty); since feisty is "obsolete", where's the best place to ask detailed questions about this, if not here, please? :-) [14:58] im running a Dell inspiron 9400 on ubuntu and i have a pc/hardware problem, my pc screen somtimes flash`s, what can i do? [14:58] bernz: do you have a separate /home mount point? [14:58] !upgrade | bernz [14:58] bernz: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [14:59] bernz: do you have a separate /home partition, sorry brain isn't entirely awake yet [14:59] nibsa1242b, hehehe, i think i see where you're going with that... :-) let me go see, it's on a laptop, and i use it less, mostly because it's half-working :-D [14:59] nibsa1242b, mounting simply meant clicking on it right - the same way my windows partitions are mounted on ubuntu... or should i explcitly 'mkdir mntpoint; mount -t vfat mntpoint /dev/something' ? [14:59] im running a Dell inspiron 9600 and i have a pc/hardware problem, my pc screen somtimes flash`s, what can i do? [15:00] 9400:P [15:00] bernz: if you have a separate /home partition, you can just do a clean install and tell it to keep your /home and you would generally be fine [15:01] dam0: please don't repeat yourself, if someone has an answer it will be given to you. [15:01] SandGorgon: I find if it doesn't mount automatically that it'll show up in Places->removable media and that clicking on it will mount it [15:01] btw it happens to my screen, too [15:01] i have a lenovo 3000 N100 [15:02] btw. this is not a hardware problem but a software problem (ubuntu;-) ) [15:02] danielig: could it be the non-audio clue that something has ended or similar? [15:02] if it was a hardware problem dam0 then you were in the wrong place, you should buy a new computer [15:03] danielig: this pc is only 1 year old [15:03] nibsa1242b, okay, looks like i just have '/' and everything "under" it lumped into a single partition... so... bootable gparted live CD, move /home contents onto a new partition (after resizing '/'), then re-install over old '/', yeah? [15:04] <_chun> When the window list is set to "only group windows when space is limited", is it possible to change the threshold (i.e. number of windows) that counts as 'limited'? [15:05] bernz: I've never done it that way, but I think that should work. You may want to consider a separate /boot as well. [15:05] is it possible to share a wireless connection on my linux box with another windows box when they are also in the same LAN over ethernet? (aka: can I do it without a direct link -> without a crosscable?) [15:06] nibsa1242b, oh yeah, i already have 'boot' on its own, forgot to mention... it's a dual-boot for windows (i use the laptop in windows mode most of the time for work reasons) [15:06] scunizi, dam0, I think that this problem has to do with energy saving, something with the settings in the energy management helped a little, it is like the screen dims after a very short time and when I touch the mouse or keyboard it flashes up to normal brightness, but it doesn't actually dim, it is weird, however it is associated with idle time and uyer action [15:06] s/this problem/my problem [15:06] nibsa1242b, are there any alternatives that you have in mind, or? [15:06] bernz: no, but I would back up anything important out of /home first [15:07] nibsa1242b, agreed, thanks for your input :-) [15:07] has anyone else experienced problems printing large pdfs?

I have a thinkpad x61 with ubuntu intrepid on it. Since I upgraded to a newer kernel, I can no longer use most use devices (storage devices work but devices like mice, keyboards, serial-port-dongles DO not work). The devices do not even show up when issuing "lsusb". It just displays the root hub. For me this renders my system unusable for development work ! Is this a serious bug in ubuntu ? [15:20] and i having some problems because Xorg eats all the cpu [15:20] :S [15:20] paco, i think you can do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg to generate a new one [15:20] paco, mm high cpu !

My problem is that it keeps trying to configure it everytime I try to install a different package, this makes it error. Every single package I try to install errors at the end because it's trying to configure libghc6-glib-dev, and cannot. Is there anyway I can at least stop it from trying to configure this package when I install... [15:21] ...another package. Or can I remove this package manually?

[15:23] anywhere* [15:23] :S [15:23] paco, I am sure someone here knows about ati configureation + xorg.conf [15:23] So there isn't a way to remove a package manually without using synaptic or anything?

I thought firestarter could do that for you but guess not. [15:25] is it possible to install a single package from a more recent version of ubuntu than the one i'm running? [15:25] Raynes, gnome?

[15:28] only atom processors? === DJones is now known as Guest80554 [15:28] your default gateway is the ip of the modulator you are connecting to [15:28] I am trying to install Ubuntustudio on one of my systems, but It doesn/r req. my DVD.

[15:30] me too [15:30] Severity1: There's 2 computers in LAN through a switch.. one of them has a wireless connection, I want to share my wireless connection to the other PC [15:30] Neckor: if your machine is overheating, it's dangerous to keep it running. get a chill mat or something else that will help to cool your machine. Windows shuts down on overheating, too, it jsut does so abruptly and catastrophically. [15:30] :s [15:30] JohnGreensa: just ask your question [15:31] zizzfizzix: then it is very easy, just use usb-creator http://hacktolive.org/wiki/Usb-creator (if you are running ubuntu), or cd2usb http://hacktolive.org/cd2usb (if you are running windows) [15:31] Firestarter requires enabled eth0 device, enabled eth0 device drops my internet from wlan0 [15:31] zizz, in ubuntu installer set the device correponding to usb memory stick [15:31] how can i update my repositries so i can apt-get install openvpn to work?? [15:31] hmm other pc's are currently able to get to the web??? [15:31] Hi! I've had IRQ issues since I installed 9.04; can someone help? [15:31] Severity1: no, just the one with the wireless connection [15:32] i pressume your pc's get their ip's via dhcp right? [15:32] PhotoJim, acpi detect 48°C temp (bug...) => auto shutdown [15:32] I can share the connection easily through firestarter, but it requires eth0 to be up [15:32] ohhhhhh [15:32] Neckor, AFAIK that feature is enabled/disabled in bios [15:32] Neckor: oh, didn't realize there was a bug. [15:32] but eth0 = up means ubuntu prefer that adapter over wlan0 to get internet [15:32] so thewireless connection is the only one connected to the web? [15:32] which is what I dont want [15:32] i see [15:32] wlan0 should ALWAYS be the device to get internet from [15:32] ok smeone has had work with an epson stylus cx5600, i need to install the scann feature pls help i got this: i am trying to install my epson stylus cx5600 scanner feature (printing feature works fine!!!), but i am having a little issues i got this: http://pastebin.com/m69934cd7 can somebody help me pls, what does that means, am i missing something?, well i must but i just cant find what that is help pls [15:32] you need to configure the lan connections on your router [15:32] when i disable acpi he work normaly [15:33] how can i update my repositries so i can apt-get install openvpn to work??

I did a instalation to my pen drive after set up the bios to usb boot device. I have windows in hdd and ubuntu in pen drive [15:34] ok ay what kind of setup do you want [15:34] !envy [15:34] EnvyNG is a program to install newer version of nVidia or ATi drivers, it can be found in !Universe as "envyng-gtk" (for Gtk/Gnome) or "envyng-qt" (for Qt/KDE). It is NOT a supported method to install video drivers; please only use it if standard methods fail and at your own risk - See also !BinaryDrver [15:34] basically I just want wlan0 to be considered the default device for internet connections, that's all.. so I can enable eth0 without worrying about internet being dropped [15:34] edilson: i don't want it to be on pendrive, i don't want to install ubuntu TO pendrive, but FROM it [15:34] I have a problem with video in vaio nr330ae may you help me?

But my virtualbox wants it to be 32-bit. how to change that? === janne is now known as Skiessi [15:35] clearscreen: by default Ubuntu will connect to wireless, and if you have wire connected it will use it preferentially. [15:35] "envy" just like that? [15:35] so the other pcs connected via lan can also be opted to connect to the web? [15:35] PhotoJim: I dont want to use the wired one preferentially :P [15:35] i do but still comes up with erreos [15:35] clearscreen: why wouldn't you? faster, lower latency. [15:35] PhotoJim: because it isnt connected to the internet :) [15:35] JohnGreensa: what is the error? [15:35] !fglrx [15:35] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [15:36] clearscreen: why do you have wire connected then? pirated wifi? [15:36] PhotoJim: Not pirated, we have two floors here [15:36] or you could probably configure your router and do ip or macfiltering and block your ethernet ports [15:36] grabbing internet from the guys downstairs through wifi [15:36] PhotoJim: a network maybe? [15:36] and want to share to another pc next to me :p [15:36] E: Couldn't find package openvpn [15:36] zizz, ok sorry . Did you try System> Administration > Create Boot usb? [15:36] what is the name of default cursor theme in ubuntu? [15:37] ooooohhhh [15:37] JohnGreensa: got your problem right now. :) [15:37] u got the same problem? [15:37] hello just removed wine and after that my fonts in firefox are all wrong. after installing again wine 1.1.2 using synaptic all stays the same [15:37] any ideia? [15:38] your wifi is connected to a seperate machine [15:38] JohnGreensa: no man i mean that i have a solution for or problem [15:38] what is that a wifi router? [15:38] or a reciever [15:38] Severity1: yes [15:38] JohnGreensa: open synaptic. [15:38] reciever? [15:38] adapter thingy? [15:38] i downloaded 8.0.4.2 desktop version, and the wubi that comes together, but the wubi cannot detect my iso [15:38] and keeps on downloading the 8.0.4.1 instead [15:38] is there another wubi that i can use? [15:39] my wlan adapter is connected to a wireless router, I have a local network with ONE other pc over ETHERNET.. I want to share the wlan internet connection over eth0 [15:39] hacktolive: you should add ways to choose the iso file (ie x86_64) [15:39] okay [15:39] can i just change the path in bat file? [15:39] so the other pc gets wifi from the guy below your pad [15:39] hacktolive [15:39] JohnGreensa: open syanptic then goto settings->repositories [15:39] and that pc also has ethernet ports right? [15:40] No, the other pc isnt getting any internet at all, that's what im trying to accomplish :P [15:40] Zhane: did you put it in the right dir? [15:40] i mean [15:40] Zhane: (the iso that is) [15:40] zizzfizzix: just rename the ISO to os.iso and put it in the cd2usb folder [15:40] ziroday: they are in the same directory [15:40] the pc with wifi gets connection from the guy below you [15:40] yeah [15:40] Zhane: mmm, whats the filename of the hardy image? [15:40] zizzfizzix: editing the .bat file should also be ok, but not needed [15:40] and that same pc has eth port right? [15:40] ziroday: ubuntu-8.04.2-desktop-i386.iso [15:40] Severity1: exactly [15:40] okay [15:41] and I need to share internet over that ethernet adapter to the 2nd pc upstairs [15:41] how can I transform a bash script to a graphical interface? [15:41] but bringing up the eth0 device will drop my wlan0 connection [15:41] Zhane: try rename it to ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso [15:41] hacktolive: i'm just curios if your script will handle x86_64? [15:41] Raynes: You could look at "dpkg --help" and "dpkg --force-help" to see if there's anything there that'd help you force uninstalling it... [15:41] there are many possibilities of downloading iso file [15:41] Hey guys, what I did, was I changed the name of the prerm file, and then removed. It may of screwed shit up, but the file wasn't nothing important, and the stuff it relates too isn't either. [15:41] ziroday: doesnt work [15:42] Thanks for trying to help :D [15:42] so setup the other pc so that its default gateway goes to your pc with the wifi thingy [15:42] zizzfizzix: I never tried but I would say there is a 99% chance that x64 ISOs will work [15:42] At a wifi spot, how do I determine if someone is capturing all my info? [15:42] clearscreen: you need a router that can handle being a WiFi client. or you need to run wire from the access point downstairs. anything else is going to be a kludge. you could set up a modest old Linux box (even a Pentium 1) to be your router, and make things work a lot more elegantly. [15:42] or maybe a proxy server? [15:42] Zhane: hmm, it might only want 9.04. For older versions of wubi take a look at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=198355 [15:42] PhotoJim: I just need ubuntu to route my internet traffic over the wlan0 adapter instead of preferentially pick the eth0 adapter even though it doesnt even have a WAN connection [15:43] Zhane: but never used wubi personally and wouldn't recommend it === |Zippo|_ is now known as |Zippo| [15:43] i think you shud setup a squid [15:43] hacktolive: so i won't try it... i just want it to work, x86 will last for a few days.. [15:43] inx-live: you can't [15:43] !squid [15:43] squid is a caching proxy for the Web. See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SquidGuard See: http://www.squid-cache.org [15:43] ziroday: 9.04 made my lappy very hot >.< that's why im switching back [15:43] I'm using spdif to send sound to my receiver. I have sound like ac3 and dts but there is no audio when playing music files like flac or wav. Any help would greatly be approciated [15:43] ziroday: How do I protect myself? [15:43] clearscreen: I don't know how to do that with Network Manager. but if you configure your network manually you could maket he default route be via the WLAN gateway. [15:43] inx-live: use encryption [15:44] inx-live: i.e. https or a ssh tunnel/vpn [15:44] clearscreen: like I said, making it so that you could access the gateway via wire would b ea lot less kludgy. [15:44] how can I transform a bash script to a graphical interface? [15:44] clearscreen: yo [15:44] Zhane: no idea sorry :) [15:44] !ifconfig [15:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about ifconfig [15:44] at a wifi hot spot (like starbucks) to access general internet? [15:44] clearscreen: essentially if you want to do what you want, you need to make your client machine act as a router for itself, which is an advanced configuration. [15:44] hi, my Ubuntu 8.04 can't open new internet connections after a certain amount of time, I'm connected to my (small, local) ISP via a CAT5 and pppoe, when the error happens, I can't even ping anymore whilst old connections stay open, like IRC for example [15:45] you can configure your eth and wireless connection thru if config and iwconfig [15:45] PhotoJim: firestarter can easily do it, and I have some experience with iptables, that really isn't the issue.. I just want it to stop picking my default gateway for me [15:45] ifconfig [15:45] hacktolive: of course i'll be abe to install ubuntu on my hdd then? [15:45] asdf001: zenity might help, but it is not easy at first [15:45] inx-live: what are you asking here? [15:45] clearscreen: network manager is your issue, no doubt, then. [15:45] do a "man ifconfig" and "man iwconfig to get a better idea" === muellisoft is now known as Muelli [15:46] zizzfizzix: using cd2usb? yeah, but it is not recommended, because it will install in "Live CD mode" and not in "real HDD install mode" [15:46] Raynes: Did you remove the .prerm file related to the package in question?

[16:06] stefano: is your remote desktop app enabled [16:06] wowisit112: yes, just install it to the external disk [16:06] wowisit112: make sure grub is also put on the external disk IF you plan to move the disk around [16:06] stefano, try 'free -m' and see what does it says for the +/- buffer cache [16:07] kpas, nothing of the sort. yesterday, everything was fine. i just woke up and my computer was unusable - now that i rebooted it still is, less so [16:08] lol! that's not easy to do, when i run the CD & get to part where i must chose a partition, the Ext.

[16:10] yea! i checked "advance" where you get to chose the partition, file system type & space... [16:10] MidasManchu, i don't even have a swap partition (never had one for years, worked great until just now). The system feels sluggish, load was 4.5 after booting, is now still 1.8. As i said, Xorg seems to be a major hog, but all applications use more cpu than usually [16:11] wowisit112: how is your external disk connected ? [16:11] MidasManchu, disabling compiz didn't help (i thought because i haven't got the fastest graphics card in the world) [16:11] yo [16:11] !fstab [16:11] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [16:12] yo [16:12] madafaka [16:12] the ext. hd is 750gb, i partitioned it in half, so one half is NTFS(has files in it already) and the other is unallocated..usb and it's powered.. [16:12] wowisit112: how is it connected though [16:12] ahh usb, sorry [16:12] yeah! [16:12] wowisit112: so if you boot into your windows partition, do you see the disk ? [16:13] yeah! [16:13] stefano, I have no clue. I've never heard of this bug on a nix machine. [16:13] in the boot menu right? [16:13] MidasManchu, my word - the problem was my igonrance - i've had cpu-frequency-scaling going [16:13] wowisit112: no - if you boot into windows do you see the disk with all the files on it ? [16:14] join [16:14] MidasManchu, my cpu was clocking itself down in 'conservative' mode, i just overlooked it :| thanks for your time, sorry it was wasted [16:14] ma bad! yes. [16:14] stefano, don't sweat it. We all do it ;) [16:14] Hello all, I just got a new computer, installed Ubuntu on it. It works great except when I try to activate the nVidia drivers. It gives me the "download" window and stays at 0% forever... Can anyone help? [16:14] but that's the half i want to use for storage only. [16:15] i'm running VISTA btw. [16:15] wowisit112: thats ok, just trying to determain the state of things [16:15] wowisit112: so you can see half the disk that has windows files on from your vista boot ? [16:15] anyone using irc deamon "Konversation"? [16:16] yes, if you mean booting from it assuming it has a boot file in it. [16:17] bootable* [16:17] hi, my Ubuntu 8.04 can't open new internet connections after a certain amount of time, I'm connected to my (small, local) ISP via a CAT5 and pppoe, when the error happens, I can't even ping anymore whilst old connections stay open, like IRC for example [16:17] wowisit112: oh, even better, you are botting from it [16:17] anyone know how to get an internal mic working under 9.04? [16:17] wowisit112: Booting sorry [16:18] Sergeant_Pony: load the applicable drivers for your hardware? [16:18] wowisit112: ok, so boot the ubuntu live/install cd and lets see if this is fixable [16:18] How do I restart the sound? Every now and then I get a login where sound dosn't work... [16:18] hi all can anyone tell me how can i set my color scheme to 32-bit currently it 16-bit. But my virtualbox wants it to be 32-bit. how to change that? [16:18] right now??? [16:19] wowisit112: well, when ever you are ready [16:19] lol! always, doesn't that require me to restart the PC?? [16:19] Hey everyone :), Any ideas about a a graphics card (intel) which used to work in 8.10 but won't enable with compiz in 9.04 [16:19] how are we going to communicate? [16:19] module000 how can I do that if I don't know what to look for? [16:20] hello [16:20] wowisit112: you can open irc on the ubuntu livecd [16:20] i'm helping someone with ubuntu, and i'd like to point him to the documentation for 'groups' (as in /etc/group) in ubuntu [16:20] what would be the 'canonical' docs? [16:21] I have a question, I was running "sudo apt-get update" and this came up http://paste.ubuntu.com/174371/ [16:21] so you want me to run it on the option "...without any changes to my PC..) [16:21] After doing an "su" then an "apt-get update" the same thing came up [16:21] anyone know how to fix cpu scaling with 2.6.27-9? [16:21] wowisit112: boot from the livecd, open xchat or an irc client and lets see if this will work [16:22] webpigeon: are u having problm with login into GUI? [16:22] sergeant_pony: can you select your mic to be the input source in the volume control applet? [16:22] ok, btw, are you a male or female? [16:23] indian_munnda, na, just trying to enable compiz (desktop-effects), but it's worked in the past [16:23] mib_rex4dd, let me check [16:23] hmm, I wonder if there's a way to mount my local filesystem on the remote host when I'm sshd in there (like sshfs-fuse but with the connection backwards) [16:23] webpigeon: oh [16:24] Hiya ... can some one please give me some idea ... I have created a database with fields name, email, product, quantity etc while on php page i have multiple items how do i insert that into database (i.e WhiteShirt, small, 1& BlackShirt, medium, 2 etc) when i click submit [16:24] prappl93: it's just the authentication key is missing. you can ignore it or install the key. it looks like the launch pad where you got it will have instructions on how to load it. [16:24] mzz, you can do exactly what you'd do the other way round, just via ssh - doesn't make any difference [16:24] oh well! thanks "iknonia" i'm gonna restart it now. [16:24] mib_rex4dd, under volume control, recording the 2 mic's listed are muted, if I unmute them I still get no mic working [16:25] stefano: yes, but I can't ssh into my local system from the remote without punching holes in the local firewall, which I'd prefer to avoid (it's not my firewall) [16:25] sorry wrong place wrong question .. [16:25] hello [16:25] Sergeant_Pony: do you have everything in the volume control visible (goto preferences and set all visible) [16:25] sacarlson, how would I go about installing the key? [16:26] mzz, you'd need a hole in the firewall for the persistent ssh connection anyways wouldn't you? could use a port that's already open - granted that wouldn't be too elegant [16:26] mib_rex4dd, yes, everything is visible [16:26] i have some problems with sound in skype [16:26] prappl93: I don't know where you got the launch pad from but that's the address that will have it. [16:26] stefano: no need to have this be persistent [16:26] Sergeant_Pony: check if any option is called "input source" or if any switch has the microphone disabled or something [16:27] Does someone here has the laptop HP dv6000? I have been having a problem with my microphone [16:27] Czy jest na czacie ktos z Polski?? [16:27] anyone using the irc deamon "Konversation"? [16:27] prappl93: it's installed like any other package if you findit [16:27] !pl > lukasz [16:27] lukasz, please see my private message [16:27] mib_rex4dd, there are 5 tabs, playback, recording, switches, options and theme [16:28] Hi, i installed the restricted drivers for my video card that was suggested when I went to hardware devices, and now I am unable to boot into my ubuntu partition. It seems like it is starting normally and then it will go to a screen with some weird characters on top and like three ubuntu small loading logos and loading bars spaced horizontally across the scn [16:28] jondgls, you should just ask the question directly and completely - if someone has the answer they'll say so [16:28] Jinxed553: please see your message in #ubuntu-ops [16:28] when I resume from suspend, the screen is locked with a password request. I'd like to disable this. Where? [16:28] mzz, i see your problem, but i don't think there's a way round it - you'd have to have a hole in your firewall to do this [16:28] stefano: np [16:28] Sergeant_Pony: unmute everything in playback and recording, then check in "switches" and "options" that your input source is the microphone and that it isn't somehow disabled [16:28] stefano: heh, the sshfs faq mentions one way around this: tunnel port 22 on the system that's behind nat through the established ssh connection. [16:28] Jinxed553: mega, thanks [16:29] stefano: that'll actually work, although it's a little clunky tunnelling ssh through ssh :) [16:29] Sergeant_Pony: also, set the volume for microphone to more than 0, and "microphone gain" too [16:29] ikonia: I left the room (thank you for your help again) [16:29] mzz, that's very clever though :) [16:30] in irc deamon Konversation is there a leyboard/mouse shortcut to auto insert a nick into the text for a msg directed @ them, ie "nick:" [16:30] i installed ubuntu to my thumb drive last night and understandably it's a little slow. can anyone suggest some tweaks i could try that might speed it up? [16:30] hello [16:30] merlin__:are you using 32bit or 64bit? [16:30] stefano: there are utilities around that sort of fix this for regular shell: they basically sit on one system waiting for a connection, the remote establishes the connection, after which the local system gives a regular shell [16:30] 32-bit [16:30] /ignore joins -freenode ljrbot [16:30] jondgls, try typing the first letters of the name and pressing tab [16:30] ups [16:31] i chose ext2 because of it's lack of journaling. i figured teh constant writes to the journal would kill my thumb drive in no time [16:31] stefano: so as long as you have some non-ssh way to get the remote to connect you can "ssh into" systems behind nat this way. Can be useful for supporting people who are behind one without punching holes. [16:31] stefano: cool! Thanks! [16:31] i also mounted a tmpfs and have firefox saving its cache to that instead of a regular tmp directory [16:31] stefano: but meh, I'll just use sftp. [16:31] merlinn__: are you using 32bit or 64bit? [16:32] merlinn__: something you might be interested in: it's possible to run ext4 without a journal [16:32] Hi everybody....Could somone help with a microphone problem?? I have a laptop HP model dv6000. My microphone don't work. There is not the option "MIc Boost" in alsamixer for example [16:32] Has anyone experienced any problems with restricted drivers for video cards? Is there a way just to turn off my restricted drivers? [16:32] Hello, I have a question. I installed YouTotem and it still does not play youtube videos with totem. I tried blocking swf with adblock plus and still won't work. I installed all of the plugins... help? [16:32] mib_rex4dd, ok, it is working, but there is alot of static so it's hard to make out the voice coming thru [16:32] merlinn__: (you can mount an ext2 filesystem as ext4, and you can use the "convert ext3 to ext4" instructions to add extents) [16:33] !ati [16:33] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [16:33] Sergeant_Pony: static? hmm ok, lower the "mic boost" a little [16:34] merlinn__: please stay on the channel, and yes, that's the idea (on one particular benchmark ext4 without journal was faster than both ext3 and ext2, which was why the patch for this went in, iirc) [16:34] Sergeant_Pony: if the problem is background noise you can "erase" the noise with an Audacity plugin called "noise removal" [16:34] @mzz thanks, ill hang out for a bit [16:34] Severity1: I went to that page ealier today and didn't find anything that helped me (or wasn't smart ennough to realize that it helped me) [16:35] merlinn__: I meant that as "don't /msg me if you don't really have to" [16:35] anyone? [16:35] apologies, i'm an irc noob :) [16:35] It's nice to keep the questions in here so other people benifit from the answers [16:36] I will idle in here and learn things I didn't know to ask [16:36] No one can help me? [16:36] plus I'm just better at tracking multiple conversations in one channel than half a dozen message windows [16:36] Xarver: sorry, no, I haven't used that plugin [16:36] :( [16:36] mib_rex4dd, ok, were getting there, I need to find the right balance between the mic and the mic boost [16:36] ill keep that in mind. how do i direct responses to someone without /msg? [16:36] Xarver: I missed it, what was your issue? [16:36] Hello, I have a question. I installed YouTotem and it still does not play youtube videos with totem. I tried blocking swf with adblock plus and still won't work. I installed all of the plugins... help? [16:36] :) [16:36] merlinn__: just say them in here, preferably including their nick (many clients let you tab-complete those) [16:37] merlinn__: if you type thier name and then tab it will complete. That will highlight the answer for the person you meant to tell. Like I just did [16:37] sergeant_pony: good to hear it somehow worked :) [16:37] merlinn__: many clients hilight messages starting with (or including) your own nick [16:37] got it, thanks guys [16:37] mib_rex4dd, thanks [16:38] I meant start typing thier name then tab... on my IRC at least... and most others, it will complete [16:39] briancro`: So can you helP? === adam is now known as Guest48753 [16:39] hey i'm back, if you still here? [16:39] hi, can i somehow associate other programs to filenames which end in .xyz.zip than to those just ending in .zip? [16:40] Is this the correct channel to ask about Thai input on a QWERTY keyboard? [16:40] i'm talking about gnome and nautlius open with system [16:40] webpigeon: oh [16:40] hi all can anyone tell me how can i set my color scheme to 32-bit currently it 16-bit. But my virtualbox wants it to be 32-bit. how to change that? [16:40] Xarver: I missed the question [16:40] Hello, I have a question. I installed YouTotem and it still does not play youtube videos with totem. I tried blocking swf with adblock plus and still won't work. I installed all of the plugins... help? [16:41] :P [16:41] indian_munnda: editing it in xorg.conf may be the way to go, although I'm a bit surprised by it defaulting to 16 [16:41] Xarver: did you install restricted extras? [16:41] dimedo: no idea, but I would try to understand how the mimetype is being set for files ending in .zip (hint: freedesktop.org and the mime database on your computer) [16:41] mzz: wat to do there [16:41] Hey everyone. Can I use this channel for ubuntu support? [16:41] Oh, so you want youtube vids to play externally in totem when you click on a youtube link? [16:41] I have a little problem [16:41] it's ?? [16:41] merlinn_: I don't know... How do I install ALL plugins for totem [16:41] indian_munnda: there should be a DefaultDepth in there somewhere, change that to 32. If there's no DefaultDepth I'd like to see your /var/log/Xorg.0.log [16:42] briancro`: Yeah [16:42] mib_rex4dd, it is working, can't get rid of the background noice and it's a little distorted on playback [16:42] mzz: dude there is nothing called defaultDepth [16:42] Xarver: Im going to see if I can do it now... I never tried before. Why do you want this? [16:43] briancro`: Youtube is kind of slow [16:43] Xarver: i'm not sure if you can. in windows they have programs that "rip" the flash files from the site and then you can run that externally. i'm not sure if totem would support this natively or not [16:43] anyone knows how i can install ubuntu on ext. hd ?? [16:44] merlinn__: Yes but I want it to run normally when I view any youtube video [16:44] ubuntu_: as long as you can oot off that hd: just like you'd install it on a regular hd [16:44] ubuntu_: just pay attention when you reach the partitioning step (make sure the partitions end up on the right drive) [16:45] s/oot off/boot off/ [16:45] Hi. I accidentally ran a game in fullscreen mode, which ended up setting my resolution to something tiny, like 600x400 or something, so that when I left the game now my desktop doesn't seem to be running properly. (It's usually at 1440x 900 or something like that). How can I fix this from a bash prompt? [16:45] Is this the correct channel to ask about Thai input on a QWERTY keyboard? Am trying to wean my GF off Windows XP. [16:45] здравствуйте все. Подскажите пожалуйста: стояла ubuntu 8.10 synaptic предложил обновиться до версии 9.04 (всё это на ноутбуке) после обновления стал тормозить compiz по графике... и даже когда заставка включается графика подтормаживает... кто подскажет что надо поста [16:45] ubuntu_, external drive via usb? [16:45] Hello [16:45] luig: xrandr -s 1 && xrandr -s 0 [16:45] luig1: try "xrandr -s 1280x1024" (or whatever your regular resulotion is) [16:45] Xarver: so wait: you want to watch youtube videos externally in totem? or you just want them to play at all. [16:45] i tried it before, when i get to that part i can't find the ext. hd. why? [16:45] Is there some way to downgrade xserver 1.6 to 1.5 in Jaunty please? [16:45] luig: I got that often too .. @fobos: I cant see your text - switch to UTF-8 please [16:45] здесь кто-нибудь говорит по-Русски? [16:46] ugh, s/resulotion/resolution/ (I blame laggy ssh for my typing) [16:46] yes, usb hd.

[16:46] mzz: dude there is nothing called defaultDepth [16:46] PolitikerALT: brilliant! I thought he was spamming [16:46] it's there on the boot menu, so i dont see why not. [16:47] I rather hate to ask a question I know has been answered ...but im trying to get my all in one printer/scanner to scan wirelessly ...anyone know of a good article ? [16:47] indian_munnda: as I said: if there's no DefaultDepth please pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log [16:47] if I put this line "pcm.!default spdif" in my ~.asoundrc file then I have sound working but after reboot there is no sound anymore. Any idea? [16:47] ubuntu_, you might need to mount the usb drive to see it for installation [16:47] search [16:47] hi [16:47] hi [16:47] i want to try to configure kernel on 2.6.28 jaunty [16:47] xukun: hmm, I wonder if that interferes with ubuntu's pulse setup [16:47] whats the first thing i must install.its the header/source or both of them? [16:47] damn! how do i mount it? and it's partitioned. [16:47] Is there some way to downgrade xserver 1.6 to 1.5 in Jaunty please? [16:47] Xarver: is it "Youtube Broswer" plugin in Totem? [16:47] ubuntu_: at the step before you choose the drive to partition, try unplugging the external and replugging it in. this will remount it and it should show up in the dropdown menu [16:48] briancro`: well its called YouTotem [16:48] ? [16:48] hello [16:48] that's after choosing "advance" option right? [16:48] mzz, I removed pulseaudio(apt-get --purge pulseaudio) [16:48] can I login to the other account on this computer to find out what the resolution is usually set to? [16:48] shuush! [16:48] i need some help. Is there a way to get the keyring program to not ask for a password when i startup???? [16:49] mzz: here is the xorg.0.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/174381/ [16:49] ubuntu_: try it on the screen where you can choose "advance". then after you replug it in, click advance and click forward. i had some weird problems having it recognize my thumb drive when i installed it there [16:49] there's a really good viral video, I heard [16:49] i want to try to configure kernel on 2.6.28 jaunty [16:49] whats the first thing i must install.its the header/source or both of them? [16:49] xukun: not sure then. It's really not working and not just not restoring volume/unmute settings? [16:50] ubuntu_: I have no idea if this will work but it's a usb drive so maybe: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-ubuntu-904-persistent-install-windows/ [16:50] sacarlson: that's more of a live cd that tracks changes [16:50] has anyone successfully set up a scanner to scan wirelessly ? [16:50] i tired it before it didn't work. thx [16:50] mzz, no I'm sure of that. mzz is there a way to make sure that there is no left overs from pulseaudio loading? [16:51] xukun: just check pulse is not running and there's no pulse mentioned in your user or sysetm alsa config file [16:51] mzz: here is the xorg.0.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/174381/ [16:51] ok. one more thing, the ext. hd. is partitioned to 2 drives, one has files in it already, and the other one is unallocated. [16:52] indian_munnda: yeah, I saw. Sorry, I'm behind pretty laggy ssh right now. Reading as soon as I've managed to load it :) [16:52] mzz, I'm not sure I fellow but I will look around [16:52] mzz: ok dude [16:52] briancro`: I think totem works with youtube now but there is no buttons [16:52] are [16:53] i need some help. Is there a way to get the keyring program to not ask for a password when i startup.. Its asking for my network manager program and i want it to start without it having to input a password ???? [16:53] !umtsmon [16:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about umtsmon [16:53] security sucks assh [16:53] donkey: isn't there some kind of "don't ask for pw"? [16:54] Guys, i would like to downgrade xserver to 1.5 but i want to keep Jaunty. Could You help me please? [16:54] geier have no idea i couldnt find it [16:54] barock, just quit, resiGN. [16:54] donkey: I think maybe you want sudo to not need a password. that can be done [16:54] Xarver: This will let you browse and play from within Totem http://www.ehow.com/how_4825154_movie-player-watch-youtube-videos.html [16:54] Xarver: I am still working on how to switch the default player to Totem in Firefox [16:55] ya'll sho du like lookin' at USELF's [16:55] sacarlson how do i do that? [16:55] Hi. On a thinkpad x61 i have a strange usb problem: while usb storage devices work, all other devices (keyboards, mice, serial dongles, bluetooth dongles, ...) do not work at all. Neither the kernel writes anything to the log nor does lsusb show any the connected devices. Did anyone else have these problems ? [16:55] Xarver: there's really two parts to this: get totem to play youtube stuff at all, and get firefox to open totem. For the latter I'm pretty sure you'll need a firefox extension, not (just) a firefox plugin. [16:55] sudo! donkey [16:55] ok [16:55] mzz: got any thing dude? [16:56] !sudo donkey [16:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about sudo donkey [16:56] !sudo [16:56] 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) [16:56] mne: curious. Does lsusb show both the usb 1 and usb 2 hub? [16:57] sacarlson i tried sudo! donkey / !sudo donkey nothing worked [16:57] mzz, yes. And also storage devices (if one is connected). But all other devices do not show up [16:57] !fstab [16:57] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [16:57] indian_munnda: sorry, looking now. This connection is atrocious (I'm uploading data through ssh, lag of a second or so, and no usable local browser) [16:57] join #gnome === dYna is now known as basti [16:58] mzz: ok thanx [16:58] Hi, my touchpad is not working on ubuntu9.04 [16:58] donkey add aline to your sudoers username ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL [16:58] Hey guys looking around the net with a friend and he was asking if there was a familiy freindly variant of Ubuntu or linux in general. Anyone have any recomendations? [16:58] gbear14275: because ubuntu is not family friendly? [16:58] gbear14275, ubuntu is the familiy freindly distro [16:58] Can someone please help me restore windows into Grub?

ATi and Linux = bad times right now. i had to upgrade to 9.04 just to get my GPU to work, and it's still not doing it's job right [17:33] thahauss: i think your menu.list will say 0,3 or 0,4... i'm not sure which one is the install [17:33] traemccombs: then why risk updating... do you need any of the new features [17:33] I have a USB harddrive with a live bootable partitiion and a partition with a normal instalation. how can set it up to select which to boot? [17:33] chuck_: what card do you have? Did you get a warning during the upgrade?

How is ubuntu's hardware support for those? Do I need to be careful of which one I buy? [17:33] merlinn_, ok I sure will, do I need to run the "update-grub" command? i came across that while researching [17:34] Jinxed553: then maybe you could modify the file at /etc/X11/xorg.conf change the line with device to device "vesa" [17:34] traemccombs: it is up to you... I just know I wass extremly frustrated after one upgrade and everything that i had spent lots of time setting up to my liking was screwed up [17:34] no, that generates a menu.lst [17:34] itll overwrite your changes [17:34] cafree: the few i have tried - had no issues. ive not needed them in ages however. One was built into sound card, one was a stand alone pci card [17:34] im having problems with my ati radeon 9200 Xorg eats all the cpu [17:34] Jinxed553: that will at least get you to boot gnome then you will have to find a working better driver for you ati [17:34] Jinxed553: aye... yeah I'm aware of those things... [17:34] merlinn_, ok, I really, really appreciate your time thanks a ton for the help [17:34] Sponce: do you have 3d enabled>? What card do you have?

[17:35] Dr_Willis, I'm not really knowledgeable about firewire at all, but I think I have an old soundblaster with firewire. If I install that would I be able to use its port to transfer video from my camcorder? [17:35] when i was having intrepid it was working correctly [17:35] cafree: should work. try it and see. [17:36] paco: are you using fglrx drivers? [17:36] cafree: with some frirewire stuff you may need to load the modules manually. [17:36] hmmmm how do i know if i am using fglrx [17:36] ? [17:37] hi there, does anyone know the best way to file share between Ubuntu and my Mac (where all my media is located)? [17:37] How do direct a message at a user using xchat? [17:37] paco, fglrxinfo in terminal [17:37] cafree: I had firewire working in linux about 5 years ago with debian with my sony digital pc100 cam. But I haven't played with it in years. so there is hope [17:38] mikebeecham; scp or mount the directory locally via ssh [17:38] how do i remove a file in several deep subdir, and remove that entire subdir at same time ? [17:38] mikebeecham, media is on the mac and you want to see if from an ubuntu install? [17:38] mikebeecham: depends on your needs. using ssh and 'sshfs' is rather easy to get going. or set up some samba/shares.. if ox-s supports nfs. that may be 'fastest' but might be harder to setup [17:38] dooner: correct mate [17:38] sacarlson, thanks. I'll try to find my old card and buy a cable, see what happens [17:38] hi guyz [17:38] can anyone help me to fix my sound card drivers [17:38] it says that the package its not installed [17:38] ?? [17:38] hi [17:39] Dr Willis. Are there any speed restrictions when using ssh, as I will be streaming media across the network [17:39] paco: then you're using open source drivers, they are really buggy at the moment [17:39] paco, well that answered your question [17:39] any1? [17:39] so what do i have to do [17:39] ? [17:39] mikebeecham: i stream videos find with sshfs try it and see i guess. [17:39] yaris123456789; rm -R /path/to/folder [17:40] paco: try to install fglrx to see if that fixes the issues, there are a few howtos, just google them. [17:40] mikebeecham, turn on filesharing on the mac (that will use SMB) and you should be able to connect (all my media is stored on NFS servers so I not 100% sure how to do it on ubuntu :)) [17:40] q. what is the name of the default video player in ubuntu [17:40] Totem, I think [17:40] mikebeecham: NFS or Samba will be faster. you can also use Apple networking with Linux, although I've never done it. [17:41] thanks i hope its not too complicate, im new in these things [17:41] JustSomething: ok [17:41] jetienne; in gnome/ubuntu it is totem [17:41] After upgrading from hardy to jaunty, there's a very noticable degradation in sound quality.. Are there any big obvious reasons for this I should check? [17:42] PhotoJim: How easy is NFS to set up? I want something that will work really well, but I'm not a great user of Linux, so will need easy instructions to follow :D [17:42] paco: which version of Ubuntu are you using? [17:42] !nfs [17:42] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [17:42] 9.04 [17:42] mikebeecham: takes me all of 5 min on 2 linux box's :) may be harder on OSX [17:42] mikebeecham, I Not sure OSX client can do NFS. best to stick with SMB (samba) [17:42] bastid_raZor: can i tell it to ignore parent directory [17:42] OS-X has bsd for the core and cant do NFS? :() [17:43] Dr_Willis: dooner thanks...will try and get Samba set up. [17:43] or proberly cant do it as nicely :) [17:43] need help with my sound card any1 ? [17:43] mikebeecham: NFS has a learning curve. the hardest thing about it is that users on Linux, BSD and OS X have user numbers as well as names, and to serve between machines using NFS, user names and numbers need to match. OS X doesn't start numbering users at 1000 like Linux does, so you have to renumber the users on the Mac and then modify the file ownership. I managed it in about an hour, but for a newbie it's probably slightly intense. :) [17:43] Dr_Willis, I not sure OSX (not server) can act as a NFS server by default :) [17:43] im using ubuntu jaunty [17:43] msg NickServ identify [17:43] hey there guys [17:43] can someone talk a look at something for me [17:44] yaris123456789; the parent directory will not be deleted .. if you tell it to rm folder1 inside of folder2 by this means. rm -R /folder2/folder1 it'll only remove folder1 [17:44] PhotoJim: might just go with Samba :D Is there any difference in performance between Samba and SSH? [17:44] but as i said , when i had intrepid everything worked correctly [17:44] dooner: but OS-X is supposed to magicially make everything trivial.. (ill shut up now) :P [17:44] can someone take a look at this for me http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7296372#post7296372 [17:44] has anyone ever tried to move their whole system from 32 to 64bit without reinstalling from scratch?

[17:44] me neither [17:45] Dr_Willis, hehe. It might, I've never tried to run an NFS server on OSX (non server). I use OpenSolaris for them : (and I'll shutup now as well... ) [17:45] so should i or should i not install fglrx [17:45] mikebeecham: are you using your Mac as the server, or your Linux box?

[17:54] paco, I do not know what driver you have if you installed the fglrx driver and fglrxinfo says not installed you did something wrong and it fell back to the vesa driver [17:55] um ubuntu uses .exes? [17:55] Phlexonance: if you use dhcp then you do have a router it's just setup auto. this hapens in an hour maybe your dhcp lease expire is set to that? [17:55] brian_: no [17:55] sacarlson, *I* do no thave a router, the cat5 goes straight to my ISP [17:56] Phlexonance: so you setup a static ip address? [17:56] hmmmmm i havent installed ftglrx [17:56] sacarlson, no, it's dhcp, as I've said [17:56] brian_, geany got a "build" button where it will compile your code [17:56] brian_, it doesn't, but there is no reason you cannot name a file .exe . but the .exe wouldn't be use to tell the system the file is executable. [17:57] brian_: you need Wine to open exes in a Linux distro, however Wine can't run every Windows program [17:57] i need help..im trying to get write permission to an external drive that already has info... [17:57] ubuntumachine: ok open the terminal [17:57] chuck, i havent installed ftglrx [17:57] sebastien, ok [17:57] brian i only suggested it to make it clear to you what is a .c, .exe and later on other files like .h [17:57] brian_: gpp -o executablename sourcename.cpp [17:58] ok i got it to work [17:58] ubuntumachine: gksudo nautilus be careful with that since your root/admin for all the files on your Ubuntu install with that, so don't delete something by mistake [17:58] hi i got a problem, when i try to install ubuntu gparted freezes the sytem when it trys to format the hdd this error only happens with a 64bit installation. Does anyone can help me with this ? [17:58] wtf does geany hide the build option away? [17:58] compile is useless... [17:58] makes sense to do the sourcename first considering there is tabbed completion [17:58] hello, I'm made the update from 8.10 to 9.04, but the kernel still the 2.6.27-11 and grup still said 8.10, but I'm in 9.04. someone could help me? [17:58] they both work [17:59] sebastien, ok.... [17:59] ubuntumachine: then get into computer or maybe /media or /mnt where your external hard disk is. right click go to properites, and you can change the permissions for it [17:59] guys hello world is really really slow... [17:59] this doesnt seem right === Fireman is now known as FiremanEd [17:59] hi anyone who can help me get 4 wallpapers on 4 workspaces and display my desktop icons too? [17:59] it takes like 2 seconds to appear, is that normal? [17:59] pmvalente: you mean it's left the old kernel on from 8.10? [17:59] brian_: its the coder :) [17:59] sebastien, that didnt work [17:59] has anyone used 9.04 server or only 8.04 server lts? [18:00] thewrathjr: better ask in #ubuntu-server [18:00] Phlexonance: well next time it hapens or you can record it now is look at the numbers provided for DNS at /etc/resolv.conf and ping those numbers when you get the error to see if the problem is on the isp side. if you have a local device you should see if you can ping that also [18:00] sebastien, i tried to change from root to myuser and that didnt work..and i tried to change file acces to write and read and that didnt work [18:00] sebsebseb: yes [18:00] merlin_: I might not be the best coder but I am pretty sure my hello world code should be very fast [18:00] brian_, how slow is your computer :) Also is it just a single cout statement or is it something more complicated ? [18:00] Just a cout [18:00] my computer should be fast [18:00] brian_: compiling a C++ program?? [18:00] i am using 64 bit ubuntu [18:00] brian_: totally kidding. pastebin your source for us to look at [18:00] sacarlson, I have no local device but I'll try to ping the dns servers [18:00] sebastien, error The owner could not be changed. [18:01] ubuntumachine: it should just find it with gksudo nautilus [18:01] ubuntumachine: and what I said [18:01] !permissions | ubuntumachine [18:01] Phlexonance: you should also try to ping the gateway address [18:01] anyone know if this terminal IRC client supports colour? [18:01] ubuntumachine: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [18:01] http://rafb.net/p/wDzy9y65.html [18:01] there is my code [18:01] hard to get simpler than that [18:01] Sponce: irssi does that [18:01] does anyone know how to fix my problem, xorg is eatting all my cpu im using jaunty [18:01] sacarlson, how do I find out what the gateway's adress is [18:01] sebastien, Error The destination is read-only. [18:02] pmvalente: you should have the newer one as well [18:02] j [18:02] brian_: lose the # [18:02] sebastien, i tried changing the FIle Access to Write and Read..and it didnt work [18:02] Phlexonance: sudo route will return your router info the default line will be your gateway address [18:02] ubuntumachine: change the group and that as well, you don't want root for anything [18:02] brian_: why the sleep(5)? [18:02] ubuntumachine: you want your user name [18:02] shadeslayer i'll check it out [18:02] sebastien, i got an error when i changed it to my username [18:03] So the text stays on my screen? [18:03] paco, you can install it from the guide i sent you It is all cut and past just read the whole thing, I am not saying the fglrx driver is bad i just do not like it [18:03] ubuntumachine: which was? [18:03] ubuntumachine [18:03] ok [18:03] chuck, ill try it [18:03] chuck, thanks [18:03] brian_, cout<<"Hail Texas"< sacarlson: sudo route does not reveal the ip of my gateway [18:03] yes in /boot have config-2.6.28-11 and vmcoreinfo-2.6.28-11 and initrd.img-2.6.28-11, and how could I do the update myself [18:03] chuck_, thanks [18:03] brian_: are you not running it from a terminal? it should stay on your screen anyway [18:03] paco, your welcome [18:03] sebsebseb:yes in /boot have config-2.6.28-11 and vmcoreinfo-2.6.28-11 and initrd.img-2.6.28-11, and how could I do the update myself [18:03] brian_, remove the sleep (5) and see if gets faster. I think iostream is buffered, so it could just be waiting ... [18:04] brian_: or getch() , if its supported :P [18:04] sebastien, this is the error i got.... The owner could not be changed. [18:04] Phlexonance: you have no default? [18:04] pmvalente: let's find out what kernel your running at the moment. if you don't already know [18:04] pmvalente: uname -r in the terminal [18:04] sacarlson: default * 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 ppp0 [18:04] ubuntumachine: make sure it's the gksudo nautilus one [18:04] sebastien, i did [18:04] thats really weird [18:04] Hmm, switching kernels didn't have any effect on the sound problem. [18:04] sebsebseb: 2.6.27-11-generic [18:05] hello. Is there anyone here who knows something about persistent USB installs and can explain to me the advantage of using the USB Creator versus a straight install to an external HDD? [18:05] does it affect the life of the drive, bootability, etc? [18:05] I guess there's no choice but to downgrade from jaunty back to hardy to fix the problem. [18:05] Phlexonance: oh pppoe is not the same as dhcp === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [18:05] sebastien, i did gksudo nautilus...went to /media...right clicked Iomega - properties - permission [18:05] sleep(5) was the culprit -- on windows system("pause") doesn't slow my program down, I guess linux is bloatware... [18:05] pmvalente: maybe you already got it installed, if not you can probably install it from the repo, and you can even get a slightly later kernel if you use a ppa [18:05] therealpxc: no real difference apart from boot-times [18:05] brian_: pause is different than sleep(5) [18:05] Phlexonance: then all you can ping is the dns [18:06] sacarlson, yes [18:06] brian_, you should use the line i wrote, so your output get flushed inmediately [18:06] sebsebseb: ppa? [18:06] brian_, linux != bloatware , read about buffered IO [18:06] therealpxc: actually, the USB creator is like a live cd. straight install is the traditional type of install [18:06] pmvalente: normalley only recommended for more experiended users [18:06] paco, you still here [18:06] therealpxc: persistent is like a live cd that tracks changes. still not really a traditional install [18:06] merlinn_: Yes, I know, but why would you want a LiveCD-like install? [18:06] therealpxc: USB creator will format to fat32 (low boot speed) whereas complete install will give ext 4 (faster) [18:06] Phlexonance: does it give you an ip address? [18:06] chuck_, yes [18:07] sacarlson, what do you mean [18:07] pmvalente: ,but Ubuntu only does security updates, and so using ppa's is a way to get even later packages [18:07] therealpxc: im not sure full install to a USB device was possible until the last version or two [18:07] !ppa > pmvalente [18:07] pmvalente, please see my private message [18:07] therealpxc: but it definitely is smaller than a full install [18:07] Phlexonance: does ifconfig return an ip address? [18:07] chuck_, ? [18:07] anyone know? [18:07] merlinn_: Ah, and you also get to specify how much space is used for persistent changes, etc. [18:07] paco, go here and make sure your card is not on the list if it is your only option is the open source drivers http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/9.4 [18:07] therealpxc: i would suggest a full install :) [18:07] Hmm.. it seems like ubuntu jaunty especially dislikes mixing audio. Trying to mix several audio streams together makes the sound all choppy. [18:07] is there any way i can make a startup password so people cant just turn on the computer? [18:07] sacarlson, sure [18:08] hi. Does anyone know how to get X11VNC to remain active after a client exit? If I establish a vnc connection to my x11vnc server... when I exit -thats it. I have to drive back into work if I want to reconnect again... the server shuts down on client exit. [18:08] my ati card is radeon 9200 [18:08] gksudo nautilus did not work....is there another solution [18:08] Phlexonance: ok that's all I can tell ya [18:08] chuck_, my ati card is radeon 9200 [18:08] psychic, that depends on the motherboard/BIOS [18:08] brian_, if you want to leave the sleep add an << endl to the end of the line to flush the buffer. [18:08] !permissions | ubuntumachine [18:08] ubuntumachine: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [18:08] so no one on my 4 wallpaper question? [18:08] chuck_, no its not there [18:08] unop how can i check [18:08] ? [18:08] shadeslayer: Sounds like a plan. I tried it a bit ago, but like a dumbass, I forgot to tell Ubuntu to install GRUB to the not to the MBR of my primary HDD, but the boot record of the external lol. I had to fix GRUB from a LiveCD and the first time I forgot to set up the chroot properly (by remounting /proc within the chroot, etc.) === spence is now known as sponce [18:08] therealpxc: right, the casper partition [18:09] So I figured this time I'd be a bit more careful [18:09] Phlexonance: it's been a long time since I used dialup with pppoe sorry I'm stale there [18:09] !permissions > JustSomething [18:09] JustSomething, please see my private message [18:09] yay tabbed completion and colour, thanks for the recommendation shadeslayer [18:09] sebastien, ???? [18:09] sacarlson, thx for now, I'll ask again here later after the next round [18:09] therealpxc: haha , happens all the time :) [18:09] My only other question is if, since BIOSes appear pickier about booting from external media, the Ubuntu install will function/boot properly from a partition other than the first. [18:09] sebsebseb:that's to much for me, thanks anyway, I will wait for the next update on my system. [18:09] psychic, enter the BIOS setup utility or consult your motherboard/BIOS documentation. [18:09] sebastien, i tried chmod 777 /media/Iomega....didnt work [18:10] pmvalente: well it should have installed for you when you upgraded [18:10] I already have a partially-full (gigs of crap) NTFS partition I'd rather not attempt moving [18:10] ubuntumachine, what kind of filesystem on the Iomega? [18:10] therealpxc: should be fine as long as it has the boot flag enabled [18:10] sebastien, i also tried chown -R [18:10] pmvalente: maybe it has, just for some reason didn't add itself to Grub [18:10] merlinn_: I thought the boot flag was only applicable to FAT filesystems..? [18:10] therealpxc: how about moving all of it to the external HDD and repartioning? [18:10] therealpxc: nope [18:10] unop, honestly..i dont know..didnt think of it..how do i check [18:10] shadeslayer: That's definitely a possibility, I just want as little time sunk into it as possible lol. [18:11] ubuntumachine, fdisk -l # should list it [18:11] ubuntumachine: maybe editing fstab is another way, but been a while since I done this stuff [18:11] chuck_, do you know how can i get the 9.4 installer, the link there seems not to work [18:11] (I must have been thinking of the "active" and "lba" partition labels, those are the DOS ones) [18:11] therealpxc: leave it overnight ;) [18:11] anyway, thank you guys for your help, shadeslayer and merlinn_ [18:11] sebsebseb: in installation it asked "keep actual grub" or something like that, and I answer yes, may be because of that [18:12] therealpxc: no problem [18:12] np [18:12] unop, Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table [18:12] pmvalente: open synaptic and search for kernel [18:12] pmvalente: if you got a green one for the later kernel, then you have installed [18:12] paco, the installer is at ati's web site [18:12] Disk /dev/sdb: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes [18:12] pmvalente: and you can manualley edit the grub menu.list for it [18:12] ubuntumachine, is /dev/sdb your iomega ? [18:12] unop, yes [18:12] chuck_, ok let me look for it [18:12] ouch [18:13] is there a command in the terminal that open a program in selected work place ? "sorry 4 the bad en" [18:13] unop, but it works on a mac [18:13] ubuntumachine, can you put that output on a pastebin ? [18:13] sebsebseb: Yes I know how edit grub, but since uname -r give me the old kernel I thing that is the one installed, but I will check via synaptic [18:13] unop, sure..but i already did in here...did you see it? [18:14] pmvalente: I am saying you have the old one installed yes, but you may also have the new one already installed as well [18:14] pmvalente: and if you don't you can install the newer one [18:14] howdy [18:14] bo7amny: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=85751 [18:15] ubuntumachine, no, can you paste it again please? [18:15] anyone know how to force a display size Jaunty? [18:15] unop, http://pastebin.com/d70ed3ec7 [18:15] DaveJ1337: what do you mean? [18:15] thank u merlinn_ [18:15] hi room [18:15] i need help [18:15] i am new to ubuntu8.10 and i have problem with the sound [18:15] sebsebseb:you have right, I have both installed, so just modifying grub should work? [18:15] well, I've got my display running to a 46inch TV and Ubuntu sees it as a 37" [18:15] pmvalente: yep [18:16] bo7amny: im not sure if that's what you want, but it may be the closest that you can achieve [18:16] ubuntumachine, ok. what does this give you? file -s /dev/sdb #you might need to use sudo here [18:16] the top, bottom, left and right are cut off [18:16] when ever i try the ubuntu sound recorder it don't echo my voice back to me i mean recorded one [18:16] desktop too big for screen [18:16] unop, /dev/sdb: data [18:16] sebsebseb:should I uninstall first the old one? [18:16] seems like it should be an easy fix [18:16] pmvalente: leave the old one there for now at least [18:16] any body listenin' to me ? [18:16] i need help [18:17] pmvalente: when you got a working newer one, well sure if you want get rid of the old one [18:17] !ask | thuglife222 [18:17] thuglife222: 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. :-) [18:17] ubuntumachine, hmm, that doesn't say very much ... [18:17] dooner: i have problem with the sound [18:17] unop, thats the output [18:17] pmvalente: plus if you remove the kernel. do the grub menu.list editing wrong for newer kernel, and re boot, well maybe you won't have a kernel that you can just boot up at all [18:18] dooner: i can listen to songs.... even during recording i can listen to my own voice as well... but when i listen back to recorded voice its like no voice atall [18:18] thuglife222, what type of problem? Does it work, not work? low/ garbled/etc.. [18:18] pmvalente: and then you need the Live CD or whatever to fix menu.list again [18:18] DaveJ1337: i think it is just a quick edit in your xorg.conf [18:18] sebastien, thanks for your help..it was greatly appreciated :) [18:18] sebsebseb:ok thank you very much for your help. I will try and then I came were and say something about. [18:18] shadeslayer, thank you [18:18] dooner: the builtin sound recorder in ubuntu dosen't record [18:18] thewrathjr: hmm? [18:19] ubuntumachine: you figured it out now? [18:19] unop, you too..thanks for the help..but i guess ill have to run this drive on another non linux computer for now [18:19] jmburgess, I thought so too, but jaunty's xorg.conf file is empty [18:19] sebastien, no :( [18:19] like you talk to record and want to listen back to it.... when it plays back no voice [18:19] telling me to go to ubuntu-server [18:19] thuglife222, hmm. Check the mixer and look at the recordering levels? (sorry never tried to record sound.. ) [18:19] DaveJ1337: ugh your right, xorg is weird in jaunty [18:19] DaveJ1337: lemme look [18:19] ubuntumachine: oh [18:19] thewrathjr: ah....ok np [18:19] ubuntumachine, was the disk formatted on a mac? [18:19] dooner: i spent my whole day tryin to fix it out but it was useless [18:19] chuck_, need help [18:19] ok jmburg, thx. I really just need to know where the new "xorg" type file is I guess [18:19] unop, no..just plugged it in and it worked [18:19] i tried every thing.... the simple one was to record you voice and listen back to it [18:19] unop, on the mac i mean [18:20] could someone please tell me how to use libwww-myspace-perl ? [18:20] I want to replace a ATI Radeon 9550 card in my box. Is there a recomended minimum card? [18:20] pmvalente: edit Grub, boot up new kernel, and remove old one if you want [18:20] dooner: you gettin me??? [18:20] pmvalente: it won't really do any harm having the old one installed as well [18:20] Anyone know how to flip a webcam image?

[19:05] userek: well sure, but most hardware and software is made for Vista [19:05] Roasted: you might want to try updating the bios [19:05] userek: most modern above [19:05] Slart - I built this comptuer in november of 08. [19:05] morning ubuntu users [19:06] hi; I have a problem with java under www.ddb.dk -> Log-on -> Netbank (Activecard) [19:06] Slart - I checked BIOS updates and in the fixes section for what each BIOS does it didnt appear that any of them had anything to offer in terms of a change for fixing my issue. [19:06] it crashes firefox; how can I fix this ? [19:06] The first time I plugged the device in, Kubuntu seem to recorgnize it, I could use the pen to control cursor [19:06] but after I reboot [19:06] hmm [19:06] :( [19:07] whats the diffference between ubuntu and kubuntu? [19:07] Roasted: hmm.. it just sounded like one of those old "the boot partition must be in the first 1024 sectors" things or something like that [19:07] !enter > Huy [19:07] Huy, please see my private message [19:07] chemikalz Window Manager, you can install both at the same time if yu like [19:07] O: Hello, Im having a problem with my Bamboo Fun(Wacom) Tablet, where xorg freezes sometimes while I use it. I think it could also have to do with Compiz, but Im not quite ready to give that up yet. [19:07] ok Jack_Sparrow [19:07] hi guys. Can anyone tell me how I can diagnose sporadic lock ups on my jaunty box? [19:07] ty [19:07] Roasted: but I don't think that would be a problem in 2008 [19:07] i have window manager installed on my regulare ubuntu though [19:07] hi all [19:07] Slart - that was my thinking too. [19:07] mvalviar, are you using a tablet or Compiz? [19:07] hey my bitches how r we all [19:08] !language | System404 [19:08] sup system [19:08] System404: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [19:08] Slart - I can eventually boot with it. I just hit ctrl alt del once or twice and eventually it boots fine. [19:08] Tasem, compiz [19:08] chemikalz http://xwinman.org/ [19:08] hug your sweetie today. [19:08] chemikalz wazzzup [19:08] System404 That is unacceptable language in here, thanks [19:08] wat is wazzzup [19:08] Roasted: uh.. that's very odd.. I would think it would either boot or not.. not just whine about it and then boot [19:08] It might be that. Im having a similar issue, since I have an Nvidia card, but Im not really ready to give it up yet so I want to see if fixing my tablet solves the problem [19:09] Slart - that's what I found weird, man. [19:09] Ищу рускоязычного пользователя,способного помоч мне разобраться с проблеммой монтирования в убунте (сори за ламерство:) ) [19:09] Slart - I dont have a boot partition though... not sure if itd make a difference.

[19:09] Roasted: ie /boot is located in the same place as your other root file [19:10] *files [19:10] Slart - No. I have 80gb Vista, 20gb Root, 380gb Home. That's my disk. [19:10] Roasted: then those 20GB are the boot partition.. even if you have other files on it as well [19:10] Roasted Slart is correct you will find /boot on your root [19:11] ok u ubuntu gurus attempting to install ubuntu 8.0.4 on a dell vostro 1510 however during install the kernal loads then goes to a command screen no gui like it should be i tried startx and get list of errors so im thinking my video card but my dell vostro 1510 is a pretty recent machine so surely there should b no probs with the install [19:11] Slart - Would the size of my Vista partition be the reasoning behind my BIOS crapping out and GRUB barfing out that error? [19:11] Roasted: I would think so, yes [19:11] im using 8.04 hardy and im having trouble watching online videos while having my media player open at the same time [19:11] Slart - what is that error, about the 1024 sectors or whatever. What's the scoop with that? [19:12] this is a somewhat frequent problem from what i gather [19:12] is their any fix with youtube videos? meaning flash or something. [19:12] i also tried a more recent version of ubuntu but it just gave other errors id click install and then list of errors read on sum forums that was sumfin to do with my disk drive [19:12] i cant have music playing and a video playing... i tried something i found on the ubuntu forums but it didnt do much [19:12] ok u ubuntu gurus attempting to install ubuntu 8.0.4 on a dell vostro 1510 however during install the kernal loads then goes to a command screen no gui like it should be i tried startx and get list of errors so im thinking my video card but my dell vostro 1510 is a pretty recent machine so surely there should b no probs with the install [19:12] I at times get youtube videos that the video jumps it resizes the video itself and looks like the video image is jumping. [19:13] i also tried a more recent version of ubuntu but it just gave other errors id click install and then list of errors read on sum forums that was sumfin to do with my disk drive [19:13] guys are you experiencing the bookmark bug on firefox again? [19:13] System404 To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F4 and select safe graphics mode then press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash use the noapic acpi=off options before the "--" [19:13] whats the bookmark bug ??? [19:13] I am attempting to get fusesmb to work without much success. Has the procedure for fuse systems changed with jaunty? [19:13] on firefox [19:13] System404: whats the video card in that machine? [19:14] its intel komputes [19:14] Roasted: I don't really remember. let me see if I can find somethign on google [19:14] when i click the bookmark menu to access my bookmarks FF pops up the bookmark dialog prompting me to bookmark the page. [19:15] System404: ok, what I reccommend is boot into the greub menu by pessing ESC at boot - run xfix from the recovery mode, if that fails, as 'Driver "vesa"' to your xorg.conf [19:15] Has anybody had any experience with installing Ubuntu 9.04 onto HP Mininote 2140? [19:15] At his own request [19:15] Roasted: here's a page about it.. from 2001.. but it still describes the problem https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/boot-sector-1024-cylinders-6970/ [19:15] thanks komputes will give it a go [19:16] System404: i made a few typos so ask if you don't understand what I just said ;) [19:16] Slart - can I "add" a boot partition on an already installed dual boot hard drive? [19:16] Roasted I have a way you can test that issue without scrambling your partitions [19:16] Jack_Sparrow - oh? How so? [19:17] Roasted: yes, if you can make some free space at the beginning of the drive you can create a small boot partition.. it might mess up the grub menu though since the partitions will change numbers [19:17] Roasted You can make a boot cd [19:17] Slart - what's the ideal partition space for a boot partition? [19:17] Jack_Sparrow - like super grub? [19:18] Roasted no, it is a copy of your /boot on a cd and it works like the regular one. [19:18] Roasted: very moderate.. you can check how big your /boot folder is.. if it was me I would use around 1GB or so [19:18] Jack_Sparrow - so I'd rely on a CD to boot my computer? [19:18] Roasted I use it after reinstalling windows to get back into my system to fix the mbr [19:18] Roasted: and that's probably a bit more than you'd actually need [19:18] Roasted In your case it would only test to see if that would solve your problem [19:19] Where can i set the default shell for new users created with useradd [19:19] help me my internet connection alwayscrashes [19:19] it must be debian [19:19] DarkX: debian? [19:20] oops worng channel [19:20] Hello I need help with AVG anti virus I downloaded the program and clicked it to install and it installed but it did not show up in applications -- accessories nor can i find it when i click system--- preferences ---Main Menu --- so how do i create an icon for it? [19:20] DarkX: =) [19:20] AVGHelp: ok you don't need an antivirus in Ubuntu [19:20] Slart - Do ya think I could add a boot partition with an Ubuntu LiveCD in front of Vista without re-installing Ubuntu? [19:21] simplexio: the default shell is defined in /etc/pass at the end of the line - mine says komputes:x:1000:1000:komputes,,,:/home/komputes:/bin/bash [19:21] AVGHelp: all you need is a good password for Ubuntu, and a firewall, say in your router, and you should be fine [19:21] sebsebseb yes i do and i WANT it [19:21] I'm trying to intall sinit but it can't find it [19:21] Roasted no [19:21] AVGHelp: you only need an antivirus in Ubuntu, if your scanning for Windows viruses [19:21] i'm useing the server ver [19:21] !virus | AVGHelp [19:21] AVGHelp: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [19:21] Jack_Sparrow - it'd require a reinstall?? [19:21] simplexio sorry - /etc/passwd === enissay_ is now known as Enissay [19:21] can anyone help me get my internet videos and music cooperating? [19:22] Roasted: yes...gparted might be able to do it.. as always.. make backups of anything important on that vista partition.. sometimes vista doesn't like being moved around [19:22] AVGHelp, if you really want AV, use clam [19:22] Roasted Not sure about vista but there would be a few files to fix to get you back up and running [19:22] sebsebseb i do need it [19:22] komputes, it was simprix not simplexio .. and he wanted to change the default shell not the one currently assigned to a user. [19:22] AVGHelp: why do you think that? [19:22] i followed some steps i found on the forums but the audio of my videos still dont work [19:22] AVGHelp: do you know how to start the antivirus software from a terminal? [19:22] Slart - I have a clonezilla LiveCD image of my Vista partition, along with my Ubuntu data backed up on a spare 500gb drive in my system anyway. [19:23] Slart - I've been bitten in the rear a couple times with failed drives - so now I have 4 drives in mys ystem, 1 to use, 3 for backups. Overkill? Yes. But I won't be a sucker again. [19:23] Roasted: wow.. first time I've actually run into someone that already has backups.. =D [19:23] unop: oops :| [19:23] Roasted but they may not work on a relocated partition [19:23] adremlech i have something called "virus scanner" which can be found in applications add remove and it is based on clamAV BUT it does not actively by itself scan whilst the computer is running it does not scan when you click stuff it does not work in the background protecting you [19:23] Jack_Sparrow - wh at wouldnt work? [19:23] Recomendations for an EEEPC install (1000HD), have been looking at geteasypeasy.com, any other suggestions (have read over at array.org on compat issues already) [19:23] adremlech but that is not the point the point is i downloaded avg for linux dubble clicked it to isntall but it is not showing up in applications accesories [19:24] AVGHelp, did you try from the command line? [19:24] Roasted Your backups may not work if you try and restore on a new/different partition [19:24] Has anyone gotten vino to work in jaunty? [19:24] !eee > macd [19:24] macd, please see my private message [19:24] Jack_Sparrow, thanks, have read. [19:24] AVGHelp: Why do you think you need anti virus? Ubuntu is not Windows, Linux is not Windows, as a result about the only computers that run Linux that need antivirus is mail servers that scan for Windows viruses [19:24] adremelech i tried both these options https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus/Avg [19:24] Jack_Sparrow - my clonezilla backup is of the partition only. So as long as I have a partition of the exact size available, I can tell clonezilla to rstore it to that. I'm sure of this because last month my main drive died and that's how I restored Vista. [19:25] Was more looking for personal experience with one, rather than the bots help msg ;) [19:25] sebsebseb there are criminnals everywhere in the world i just want more protection [19:25] AVGHelp, like they said: you dont really need AV on linux [19:25] AVGHelp, hence the lack of AV programs [19:25] Roasted BUT you restored to the same size partition in the same location (first on the drive) correct, putting it on SDA2 may not give the desired results [19:25] AVGHelp: you might want to try rkhunter for added protection then.. not instead of other stuff.. but as a complement [19:25] I'm useing the server ver. I'm trying to intall sinit but it can't find it. [19:25] adremelech ok that is very nice i dont need it how do i get it to display in appliacations accesories [19:26] AVG has a linux version? O_o [19:26] !find sinit [19:26] Adremelech|Lapto, AVGHelp , Well there is Clamtk [19:26] File sinit found in csound-doc, etalk, fp-docs, fpc-source, gnulib (and 21 others) [19:26] AVGHelp: also.. some kind of IDS... and logging to something that isn't erasable.. ie not the local system [19:26] !info sinit [19:26] Package sinit does not exist in jaunty [19:26] matreya6, i know, thats what i use :) [19:26] Jack_Sparrow - I understand what you're saying, but within clonezilla LiveCD I can pick and choose what image goes to what partition - as long as one of proper size is available, I can push it there accordingly. [19:26] is anyone willing to help me resizing a file with avidemux? I need to make twice the current size... [19:27] breadtk look here http://free.avg.com/download?prd=afl [19:27] or is it called x [19:27] Roasted You can push the image on any partition, getting ti to work is the issue [19:27] odder: you want a bigger file? just fyi the quality won't be better [19:27] Slart: yes, I am aware of that. [19:27] AVGHelp: Sure enough...huh [19:27] matreya6, slart yes your oppinions are very nice but do you know how to fix it so that the program will show up in applications accessories [19:27] Slart: I am however unable to do it ith avidemux, dunno why [19:28] Jack_Sparrow - I've never had a problem getting it to work. The only thing I've had a problem with is booting if I restored Vista AFTER installing Ubuntu. So if I push the Vista image back to the disk, then install Ubuntu (therefore Grub takes control) I have yet to have an issue with it. [19:28] where do i get sinit? === ring1 is now known as ring0 [19:28] AVGHelp: I've already asked you a question that you didn't answer.. I can't help you if you dont communicate [19:28] Roasted but have you put vista ANYWHERE besides the first partition of the first drive [19:28] RedDragons It is NOT part of Jaunty nor in our repois [19:28] odder: any special way you want the file to grow? more image data? more sound data? [19:29] slart i want to use avg because it is known and popular and has constant updates, and american consumer this year listed it as the best free antivirus program [19:29] odder: try using ffmpeg from the command line - if not to change its size at least to transcode it into a generic format avidemux may handle better [19:29] ok [19:29] AVGHelp: I didn't ask about that [19:29] hola alguien me podria ayudar [19:29] Jack_Sparrow - I understand what you are saying, but Clonezilla LiveCD has the op tion to save the disk or the partition only. If I push the partition only back to the disk, Vista gets named to that partition accordingly. [19:29] Slart: aaah, sorry - I wasn't perfectly clear - I want to resize it [the resolution] [19:29] AVGHelp: if sebsebseb REALLY wanted to help you, he'd just give AVG to you. [19:29] AVGHelp: I asked if you knew how to start the software using a terminal [19:29] Roasted Good luck [19:29] * JosefAssad takes cover [19:29] so what your saying is ubunbu doesn't have sinit [19:29] AVGHelp, What has bothered me with AVG is that produces too many false positives and can't clean files, only delete them. On a positive note, it does have a small mem footprint [19:29] odder: hmm.. let me check [19:29] komputes: I got it in avi, to be honest :) [19:30] JosefAssad: uh? and heh? [19:30] slart i do not know how to start antivirus from a terminal [19:30] hi everybody, can someone tell me how to become the owner to a file in the etc-folder? [19:30] Jack_Sparrow - Shouldn't be too bad. I did this last month when my darn Seagate drive gave out. [19:30] np [19:30] odder: avi can be many things [19:30] chaos2fu: grant you the right through the command line [19:30] !chown [19:30] 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 [19:30] AVGHelp: hmm.. then it's hard to create menu items for it.. you might want to check the documentation for some info on how to start it.. [19:30] AVGHelp, are you looking for a way to create a launcher for the AVG pgm? [19:30] I just don't understand how I had this same exact setup for the last 8 months and only in the last 2 days I started getting error 18 with grub like that. [19:30] matreya6 do you know how to create a button so that it shows up in applications --- accesories [19:30] odder: it's more of a container than an actual format [19:31] sysdoc yes i am [19:31] AVGHelp: probably after a log out, it will show there [19:31] komputes: I am not a video-file expert.avidemux tells me its xvid4 [19:31] sysdoc one should have been auto created but it wasent [19:31] AVGHelp, eyeball these instructions: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-avg-antivirus-in-ubuntu-desktop.html [19:31] can u please tell me how odder? im total newbie in linux [19:31] sysdoc also i tried this but it failed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus/Avg [19:31] chaos2fu: why do you want to be owner of that file? [19:31] AVGHelp, Sure, just use the menu editor under System => Preferences => Main Menu [19:31] sebsebseb i tried to log out no luck [19:31] AVGHelp: no luck??? [19:31] matreya6 yes i did that but it was not there [19:32] AVGHelp: have you read the following guides: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Security#Anti-Virus [19:32] chaos2fu: somebody pointed you already, try chown [19:32] sebsebseb i tried to log out but at login it was still not there the button [19:32] isn't there a way to give prefix to aptitude or apt-get , seems dpkg -i takes it? [19:32] im having trouble with the nvidia x server settings... it wont save the configuration file so every time i restart the computer i have to go into nvidia again and tell it that i want two displays?? [19:33] odder: well if it's xvid try changing it to another format using ffmpeg - to get more info on ffmpeg, open a terminal and type "man ffmpeg" [19:33] joss: To do what? [19:33] komputes that is what i did read here but for some reason it failed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus/Avg [19:33] Slart: I am sorry -- seems to be working, screwed up again [19:33] odder: oh.. you found out how to do it? [19:33] chaos2fu: try running nvidia-settings with gksu in front [19:33] chaos2fu: run the nvidia-settings tool as root 'gksu nvidia-settings' the menu item for somereason dont ask for the su rights. [19:33] komputes: thanks for pointing me to this [19:33] Flannel, to install qt to another directory [19:33] AVGHelp, even if the menu editor in Gnome is a awkward program, it does seem to do it's job when creating menu shortcuts [19:33] AVGHelp: try the one i sent you, it explains better what viruses are out there - either way the system is secure enough that if you stay safe and down't download executables from websites you should be good... [19:34] matreya6 i do not follow what do you mean [19:34] Slart: well, I have changed the video format to xvid4 again, cause for some unknown reason simple copying the video and resizing it didn't work [19:34] Dr_Willis: how do i run it as a root? [19:34] Flannel, though apt-get will surely clean it away again...there are some changes between 4.3 and 4.5.. [19:34] odder: oh.. ok [19:34] komputes yes i udnerstand that argument it is very nice but still even though linux is way safer i want an antivirus program and i want avg ;) [19:34] sorry, but I am total new to linux...:-( [19:34] chaos2fu: I allready told you how ---> reread --> run the nvidia-settings tool as root 'gksu nvidia-settings' the menu item for somereason dont ask for the su rights. [19:35] komputes do you know how to create a button for avg? [19:35] AVGHelp, care to join me fro a private session? [19:35] chaos2fu: the terminal is our friend. :) [19:35] !gksu [19:35] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately.

[19:35] AVGHelp, I gave you a link to a page with explicit instruction on how to do what you want [19:35] sysdoc they did not work [19:35] AVGHelp: with Linux you should be more concerned about running bad commands, than getting viruses! [19:36] AVGHelp: I've had bad experience with avg and recommend clam av - they basically both scan, none of them does heuristics, so whats the point, right ;) [19:36] There are no effective viruses in ubuntu. Basically they die on their own [19:36] Heh - the end user doing 'admin tasks wrongly' is more of a danger to a linux box.. then any viruses out there [19:36] sebsebseb i am equally concerned with all problems i do not discrimanate any problem all problems are equall to me ;) [19:36] AVGHelp: I'd recommed ClamAV, too -- seems to be the best for now === jean is now known as Guest6291 [19:37] AVGHelp: and antivuruses don't necessarily protect against exploits [19:37] @odder: Do you know if ClamAV auto scans all the files I would download (ftp/sftp/firefox)? [19:37] Dr_willis: ok sorry man, im installing the gksu now... [19:37] AVGHelp: the only way to make sure a malicious program is truely removed, is to re install the OS [19:38] breadtk: not automatically, every time i used it it was a manual scan [19:38] does ubuntu 9 not have gui support for wifi? Where do I get a list of networks to join? [19:38] Uh, I need some help with xorg crashing. It happens like maybe every 10~20 minutes, and it started happening after I installed Wacom tools for my bamboo fun tablet [19:38] breadtk: try http://clamav.net/doc/latest/html/node26.html [19:38] komputes: k thought so. Thats prolly the biggest downside of it. [19:38] odder there is something called virus scanner which comes from applications add remove and it has clamav in it description but it does not actively scan by itself all the files that are in motion [19:38] odder: looking [19:38] icedtea: the icon of two computers, top right [19:39] cool, it worked... can i run every applications with the gksu? [19:39] No one knows anything about this? :C [19:39] breadtk: you can also schedule it, or you can easily create a nautilus script that will allow you to rightclick > scan [19:39] alguien que able español [19:39] !details | Tasem [19:39] komputes: I don't have that. I do have a systray icon with bars on it but its X'd out [19:39] Tasem: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [19:39] para poder ayudarme [19:39] komputes: I was thinking about making a cron for it. [19:39] Slart: didn't know about that one, that will be useful :) instead of asking them with? [19:39] icedtea: try a guest session, or try logging in as another user [19:39] sebsebseb even better is simply to destroy the computer ;) [19:39] chaos2fu: you can but you *should not* - it could be dangerous to youe system [19:40] *your [19:40] sebsebseb: =) [19:40] AVGHelp: thats the spirit! [19:40] ok i see...! and the command sudo is it the application add/remove or? [19:40] Tasem: also.. try checking the logs (var/log/syslog) when one of these crashes occur.. there might be some error message [19:40] Slart: yeah there was a guy earlier, I had to ask him a few questions, then he gave up when I give him the Grub bot link and that, and he is like I am putting Windows on now, Ubuntu sucks, what ashame [19:41] Oh. Well, I'm running Jaunty Jackalope on a Macbook 5,1. I AM running compiz, but since the problems started with installing the Tablet Im hoping its just that and I wont have to give Compiz off. The problem being that X server crashes on me. I heard that there were some Manual Device Input codes in etc/X11/x.org that are conflicting with Wacom tools, but I have no idea what they are and Im scared of changing anything I shouldnt.

Are you running 9.04? === [DaRK-SkG] is now known as [SkG] [19:42] salam irani hast? [19:42] icedtea: yup [19:42] Tasem: can you pastebin the output from /var/log/Xorg.0.log too ? [19:42] AVGHelp: Linux is [so] fun. What problem are you having? [19:42] When downloading/installing a package, should I look for a package with "x86-64" in the name? Or should I use the one with "i386" or "amd64"? [19:42] AVGHelp: whats hard is trying to keep the 4+ windows machines up for the faimly when they cant understand how to avoide malware. [19:42] !pastebin | Tasem [19:42] Tasem: 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) [19:42] ??? [19:42] ????

[19:42] AVGHelp: that's a point, code that is opensource/freesoftware is usellay more secure, because they can't hide bad code in it, and loads of developers doing stuff with the code [19:42] koskeshaaaaa ba shoma ham...akhe koskholaa ubuntu che kossheriye? [19:43] icedtea: how about when you boot from the Jaunty LiveCD, do you get the network manager icon? [19:43] *ahdebiansshehm*.. open source.. safe... ;) [19:43] mobi-sheep i downloaded avg antivirus from their home page linux version deb, i dubble clicked it and installed but the button will not show up in applications accesories and i tried to do what it said here on this link but it did not work https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus/Avg [19:43] komputes: whats the network manager icon? The systray icon with network bars on it? [19:44] Thanks, Slart. Also, I cant check the var because when it crashes, I cant do ANYTHING. The entire GUI locks up and I have to force shutdown. Not even restarting X works. [19:44] sebsebseb yes that is nice but i want more protection [19:44] hmm.. why does the ubuntu help page on AVG recommend running "sudo gedit" ?? (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus/Avg) [19:44] hello [19:44] AVGHelp: maybe look into OpenBSD or something like that then, that's meant to be one of the most secure OS's [19:44] AVGHelp: ,but that's not for newbies [19:44] sebsebseb i am a computer newbie [19:44] AVGHelp: that's for expeirenced computer users [19:45] anyone know why on my sound recorder i can see only Capture on the list of source? [19:45] AVGHelp: The page "Antivirus/Avg" is last edited 2008-06-27 10:15:32. [19:45] mobi-sheep yes i know [19:45] Tasem: I think they removed the shortcut for restarting X in jaunty.. ( type !dontzap for more info ).. but you can try restarting in safe mode.. with out gnome.. then try reading those files [19:45] AVGHelp: yes exactly, which is why you think it's so important to have antivirus in Ubuntu, where as experiended users such as myself, know it's not needed [19:46] Tasem: you can also use "pastebinit" or "webboard" to pastebin files from command line [19:46] mobi-sheep i looked at this page as well it is from amrch 2009 http://techreviews.in/free-avg-anti-virus-for-ubuntu/ [19:46] AVGHelp: I have a link that you may find quite useful [19:46] I know, I used dontzap and reactivate it. It still doesnt work when it locks up though. Also, Slart, Im not sure I understand this Pastebin thing [19:47] sebsebseb i just want to know how to create the button [19:47] Oh wait, nevermind. That was a stupid mistake on my part, thats all [19:47] AVGHelp: Linux is [so] hard for you because you came from a Windows lifestyle. Even if you have Windows virus in a file on your system, it will [not] destroy your system. And you give the same file to your Windows buddy, it [can] destroy his system. [19:47] Tasem: pastebin is just a webpage you can upload shorter text snippets to.. then you give us the url (something like pastebin.ubuntu.com/124kuh5ku and we can see the text you entered) [19:47] Allright. What do you mean by pasting from the command line? [19:48] mobi-sheep do you know how to create a button? [19:48] Tasem: basically.. at a command line you run something like "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" then it will upload that file to a pastebin and print out the url.. you then tell us that url and we can check the log file [19:48] AVGHelp: Do you know the terminal command to run AntiVirus? You can add it using Menu Editor or create a Launcher (shortcut link). [19:48] Oh, allright [19:48] mobi-sheep no i do not know the terminal command [19:49] AVGHelp: by the way antivirus, and antispyware and such isn't even needed on Windows, if people know what they are doing :) [19:49] Tasem: let me give you an example.. http://pastebin.com/f271827ec that's my Xorg.0.log .. [19:49] http://slipttees.wordpress.com/ [19:49] If I have Ubuntu installed on a partition and it is not a LiveCD, can I remove Ubiquity? [19:49] AVGHelp: anyway Linux is not Windows http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm [19:49] AVGHelp: now that's a good read :) [19:49] slipttees: not here please [19:49] Oh, I see. Allright, let me try to do it [19:49] well I can't find a gui tool in ubuntu 9.04 to join a wifi network... anyone know of a filename to start the gui chooser? [19:49] Tasem: it's a very easy way to share log files.. no copy pasting in irc-windows and such [19:49] guntbert: sorry, window erro [19:50] Tasem: you might need to install pastebinit first though.. just sudo apt-get install pastebinit will do it [19:50] i'm having troble geting xinit to run [19:50] Yeah, thanks for this, Im still pretty new at Linux O: [19:50] AVGHelp: Do ALT + F2. Put in "gksudo avggui" Did AVG show up? [19:50] Im installing it now, actually [19:50] slipttees: np :-) [19:50] guntbert: ;-) [19:50] If I have Ubuntu installed on a partition and it is not a LiveCD, can I remove Ubiquity? [19:50] yes [19:51] hey can someone explain to me the difference between gnome and kde? is one more versatile then the other, does 1 have more support/applications/configurable then the other? [19:51] mobi-sheep it did not show up [19:51] i have not been able to find online these type of answers [19:51] shawnmstout: they look different.. that's about it [19:51] http://pastebin.com/f1255a761 my Var log [19:51] [19:51] shawnmstout: some people prefer one.. other people prefer the other one [19:51] shawnstout: gnome, is much more supported. Kde: good in its own light. [19:52] Look at screenshots for KDE vs Gnome [19:52] you can pretty much run applications from either environment [19:52] byte, i know what each look like [19:52] But if you use Gnome, KDE apps may look differently and vice versa [19:52] kde is ugly as sin ;o, or at least kde apps run in gnome are :) [19:52] AVGHelp: You're aware that AVG AntiVirus "can only detect viruses; and cannot remove them from files." ? [19:52] ror: Agreed :3 [19:52] ror: I disagree, KDE apps in Gnome that's fine for me [19:53] really? I find most KDE apps close to unusable in their ugliness [19:53] mobi-sheep to remove a virus froma file is very hard so you remove the whole file the same goes for calmAV [19:53] what about customization? [19:53] im in gnome right now [19:53] the whole "sense" of where stuff is in their menus makes no sense to me either [19:54] ok, 1 more question, is there different themes to gnome? [19:54] Tasem: ok... nothing really strange in that file.. it's a mac mini? [19:54] shawnmstout: Yes. [19:54] and where is the best place to find these at? [19:54] shawnmstout: goto gnome-look.org [19:54] ok [19:54] No, Macbook 5,1. Not pro [19:54] thanks guys [19:54] nc [19:54] Hello [19:54] oh and customizing menu options [19:54] shawnmstout: you may need to install additional packages, but it is simple enough [19:54] Menu options? [19:54] AVGHelp: if your so concerned about security, you may want to check out the Backtrack Live CD, it has many security tools. I haven't used it yet [19:54] i wanted to add my own "shortcut" menu for common tasks that i do [19:54] i need help [19:55] !details | kvams [19:55] kvams: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [19:55] I don't know, personally I am on Crunchbang which combines Openbox and GNOME... Works pretty well. [19:55] Ubuntu by itself should be just as configurable. [19:55] sebsebseb i just want a button for avg [19:55] http://pastebin.com/f7b0e40fc [19:55] this would be my xorg.conf [19:55] AVGHelp: What is wrong with ClamAV? It's in the repos. Getting it from non-repos only give people more issues. **AND** You're downloading that from somebody you claim to be trustworthy. Do you see where I'm going with this? That's why we have repos. We know it is safe and it does work. [19:55] Tasem: ok.. those other logs.. you can try something like this "tail -n 30 /var/log/syslog | pastebinit" .. it will send the last 30 lines from the syslog to a pastebin, just like before [19:55] yes, example, i run a tftp/pxe/dhcp/mysql/php/nfs server [19:55] shawnmstout: to be honest i havent tried, though I am sure that there is a way....give me a few minutes and will poke around [19:55] hi I have a problem with the VLC he plays only one second from a DVD (movie) I have Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit and dvdnav libdvdcss [19:56] so there are config files i want to access quickly [19:56] AVGHelp: open it from terinal. whatever it's called and hit enter make a shortcut on the desktop for it maybe if you know where it installed [19:56] ciros, thanks [19:56] mobi-sheep: ClavmAV is to Linux like for him :d [19:56] install http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/CONKY-colors?content=92328 and it dosent work :/ [19:56] root1992: mm.. dvd's doesn't work for me in jaunty either.. no matter how many decss packages or scripts I install/run [19:56] mobi-sheep when i type in clamav in appliacations add remove i get something called virus scanner, and that is a nice scanner but it does not actively run the background and protect me from all my clicks [19:56] by adding all of these in 1 common place would make it nice for myself [19:56] http://pastebin.com/f4b914e62 [19:56] There O: [19:56] AVGHelp: What exactly are you trying to do? [19:57] What's the command for showing what hardware is availible but unmounted? [19:57] install http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/CONKY-colors?content=92328 and it dosent work :/ [19:57] Tasem: what time was the last crash? [19:57] anyone know how to generate modelines so I get get the full 1280x1024 like my monitor was intended to do ? [19:57] Maybe 30 minutes ago or so now [19:57] or an app that will auto-detect the video card / screen [19:57] I want to run fsck on a media player but I'm not sure of its unmounted location. [19:57] Im using my mouse right now so that might be part of it, but otherwise Im not sure [19:57] this might sound bad, but im using a suse distro, still the help here is sooooooooo much better, and much more friendlier then other channels, so i hope you dont mind me asking in here even though im not using ubuntu [19:57] Tasem: hmm.. try the same command but change 30 to 90 or somethnig like that [19:57] the max resolution in xubuntu's settings is 1024 x 768 [19:58] gordonjcp i downloaded avg anti virus for linux for their web page in then dubble clicked to install it and it installed but it did not create a button in applications accessories and i want a button [19:58] AVGHelp: Linux and Windows are entirely different. Windows are *easier* to use and *easier* to get destroyed because linux can be [too] frustrating for some people. [19:58] What's the command for showing what hardware is available but unmounted? [19:58] Slart :( You give me hope ;) I think I must wait for a update [19:58] http://pastebin.com/f348d2d66 [19:58] shawnmstout: SuSe and Ubuntu are rather different. The help we provide likely won't be able to be useful for you. [19:58] shawnmstout: np, we are here to help if we can [19:59] root1992: mm.. I've tried reinstalling all kinds of packages without any success.. if you find a solution please tell me === brembo is now known as biczd [19:59] well since this is interface questions, not os questions, i didnt think i would really matter [19:59] AVGHelp: I can download a virus and click on it. It cannot touch my system. I attached the virus and sent out to my Windows buddies. They'll face all sort of problems if they run the file. [19:59] commands would be different however [19:59] but i know the changes there === biczd is now known as bremboi [19:59] thats basically just describing my startup [19:59] shawnmstout: have you tried right clicking the gnome[Distribution] logo, then selecting edit menus? [19:59] mobi-sheep i understand you view point all i want is a button mkay [19:59] Anyone? What's the command for showing what hardware is available but unmounted? [19:59] AVGHelp: it's only for servers [20:00] is there a separate channel for eeebuntu? or are questions regarding it OK here [20:00] <_Pix> hi [20:00] Tasem: ok, we're getting closer.. try.. 180 instead.. [20:00] wildc4rd: you can ask here [20:00] AVGHelp: you might use it to scan files on a server that has MS Windows machines connected to it [20:00] Hi, my friend has a problem with grub, he just installed win7(I shall kill him for that) and now the mbr is replaced, we tried to reinstall it manually, grub says it's ok, but now grub frezes on boot, is there another way to reinstall grub from the live cd ? [20:00] ciros, well i am guessing that i first have to build my interface for the menu, then tie it in [20:00] noen fra norge? [20:00] Tasem: it's still just showing the part where you boot up.. starting network cards and such [20:00] cool.. I never knew avg had a free linux version... gotta check it out [20:00] !no | Kvams [20:00] Kvams: Hvis du vil diskutere på Norsk, vennligst gå til #ubuntu-no. Takk! [20:00] Dr_Willis: your joking right? [20:00] Allright, i'll set it higher [20:01] Dr_Willis: I mean about checking it out? [20:01] sebsebseb: may as well :) [20:01] wildc4rd: Generally Ubuntu questions here, if you think they may be EEE specific, #ubuntu-eeepc would likely be the best place [20:01] gordonjcp are you saying that this link here gives an antivurs program only for servers http://free.avg.com/download?prd=afl [20:01] GNU_D: I could try to help,mind if i PM you? [20:01] sebsebseb: see if i can put it on a live cd/thumbdrive install as a 'scan moms pc' toolkit [20:01] nmvictor: go ahead [20:01] Dr_Willis: ah for Windows viruses yeah? [20:01] ciros, am i right about that? [20:01] AVGHelp: can't look at that link just now, no web browser [20:01] I'll ask one last time. What's the command for showing what hardware is available but unmounted? [20:01] sebsebseb: of course. :) [20:01] cause how can you add something that doesnt exist yet [20:02] Strife89: I don't think there is one === radek is now known as Guest9546 [20:02] AVGHelp: are you running a file server for Windows computers? [20:02] Dr_Willis: pretty sure I seen you here before, so unlike AVGHelp, you know that Linux viruses well, what Linux virsues? I think there was like one that hit the wild in the past, that would no longer work [20:02] unless you can just add in a blank menu item [20:02] and build from there [20:02] Strife89: that might be the reason you're not getting an answer [20:02] Slart: Oh. ^^; [20:02] gordonjcp ok i dissagree with your statment that it is only for servers because ther eis an instruction page in ubuntu help for isntalling it which did not work for me and i have read about installations of it on the net which also did not work for me ;) [20:02] sebsebseb: i made my own puppy-linux live-cd last year as a 'linux-live-cd-av-scanner-tool' :) to give out to friends.. time i updated it. [20:02] http://pastebin.com/f727d7848 [20:02] Strife89: lshw will show you your hardware.. but I don't think you can limit it to just showing stuff that isn't mounted [20:02] AVGHelp: it only makes sense on servers [20:03] Dr_Willis: I see [20:03] Is the new ubuntu good? [20:03] shawnmstout: indeed, but once it exsists you can click new item, then point to the file. to allow you to open up and what not. [20:03] Dr_Willis: sounds like a nice thing to do for friends, but if you converted them to Ubuntu you would probably be an even better friend :d [20:03] gordonjcp i am running ubuntu 9.04 on a nromal computer it is the only operating system on this computer and that is all [20:03] Xtf: it's alright yeah [20:03] ciros, ok, just wanted to confirm [20:03] Xtf: not that differnet from 8.10 [20:03] Jaunty? [20:03] yes [20:03] Slart: Basically I just need to find where a piece of hardware is that I've unmounted. [20:03] shawnmstout: it's all good :D [20:03] wonder if gnome-look would have any info on it [20:03] thanks man [20:04] Tasem: still not enough.. go for.. 500 or something [20:04] gordonjcp but it provides an active scanner scanner in the background for viruses and that is what i am after [20:04] AVGHelp: You installed the .deb -- Right? It installed successfully or faced a problem at a point? I gave you ALT+F2 --> gksudo avggui and that seems to be working for many on the forum I'm reading right now. [20:04] Strife89: are we talking about a hard drive? === marcio is now known as Guest46554 [20:04] Slart: No, a flash drive. [20:04] Hi someone help me [20:04] mobi-sheep yes [20:04] AVGHelp: as far as I know AVG for Linux only scans for Windows viruses, and Windows viruses won't work on a Linux distro [20:04] AVGHelp: well they might a litlte bit in Wine if you install that, but otherwise no [20:04] !wine [20:04] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [20:05] I use avast myself.. well , when I say use.. I hardly ever run it. [20:05] AVGHelp: you don't need that [20:05] Hello? [20:05] Strife89: why not start the gnome partition editor and see if you can see the drive there [20:05] gordonjcp: AVGHelp insists... [20:05] AVGHelp: you only need to scan for viruses if you're serving files to Windows machines [20:05] Anyone here able to read me? [20:05] gordonjcp: a few of us have done that for a while with him now, but he won't listen, he must have his AVG shortcut [20:05] !ask | Charle [20:05] Charle: 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. :-) [20:05] Tasem: sorry for all the pastebinning you have to do.. I really should have picked a higher number to begin with [20:05] ohhhh, gnome-look looks like all of the theme are based on ubuntu [20:06] http://pastebin.com/f41679f0d [20:06] I think its still in the startup phase, but you'd have to tell me [20:06] !virtualiserz [20:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about virtualiserz [20:06] !virtualizerz [20:06] Oh, not at all. You're the one helping me! Besides, I find this whole thing rather fun, in my own way [20:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about virtualizerz [20:06] mobi-sheep you asked me if i took the deb file i took a screenshot to show you http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/5117/screenshotc.png [20:06] found for mine [20:06] thanks guys [20:06] Tasem: well.. you're right.. it's still botting up.. try 1000 [20:06] For some reason by the sounds of things, AVGHelp 's AVG install didn't add itself to the menu, and a log out woudn't even put it there. so guys help him get a shortcut? [20:06] *booting [20:07] AVGHelp: Well, I'm looking... but to no avail. Ask yourself this question -- Perfect security... Does it really exist? [20:07] guys, how do i play a .snd file (audio)? i checked google and it says most of these files are MAC audio files. i tried playing it with VLC but it can not play. anyone? [20:07] mobi-sheep thanks for the effort it is the thought that counts [20:08] mobi-sheep: I think the poor guy has been tortured about that enough.. can't we just help him with the menu's if he wants to run AVG? [20:08] mobi-sheep there are other antivirus program out ther avast antivirus has an option for linux as well ;) [20:08] AVGHelp: all viruses are for Microsoft Windows only, and won't affect Linux systems [20:08] anyone know how to generate modelines so I get get the full 1280x1024 like my monitor was intended to do ? in XP I get this no probs [20:08] evening, looking for some help with flash !

We can't have Launcher / Menu without a right command. :< [20:08] gordonjcp i dissagree [20:08] http://pastebin.com/f6f41715d [20:08] or if there is an app to force this resolution, I don't know anything about xorg.conf or modelines [20:09] gordonjcp: well and some for Mac OS X, and you can probably build something that deletes home yourself, I remember there was some article [20:09] mobi-sheep: true.. I was thinking more about the "perfect security stuff" =) [20:09] or how to get vert/horiz refresh rates [20:09] noob to this and never used ubuntu befote so if someone has the patiants to help me i would be gratefull [20:09] sebsebseb: you'd have to go to a *lot* of trouble [20:09] dylan_ Provide people with details about what video card chipset and which release of ubuntu you are using [20:09] gordonjcp: yep [20:09] sebsebseb: the last virus I ever dealt with was on Atari TOS === Co_27_Ehem is now known as Zecky [20:09] how can i configure my webcam in ubuntu ?

[20:42] shadeslayer: that was already done earlier by others [20:43] meh.... [20:43] dylan_: you could try this modeline.. not sure if it will work though "Modeline "1280x1024@60" 114.98 1280 1312 1744 1776 1024 1045 1055 1076" [20:43] shadeslayer: went through the whole antivirus isn't really needed thing and he just woudn't get it [20:43] matreya6: well I guess you didn't get far with him either [20:43] sebsebseb:what about the factoid?? [20:43] how do i remove the subdirectory and its file, only if there is 1 file in this directory ? i tried rm -Rf however, it only removes the single file, it doesn't bother to remove the subdirectory that file resides in === epcanto is now known as edson === edson is now known as epcanto [20:44] yaris123456789: the switch for recursive is -r [20:44] shadeslayer: yep used that as well, even gave him this rather good Windows is not Linux link http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm [20:44] dylan_: you could also try one of the standard ones from this site http://linux.50webs.org/resources/modelines.htm [20:45] hateball, you`ll know. I was copying some files across to somewhere else the other day with cp -av and i ran it again, and it copied them all again. I thought it`d ask first [20:45] sebsebseb: 99 pc chance he didnt read it [20:45] did anyone know why i cant find any choose on my capture list of sound recorder? [20:45] shadeslayer: indeed, I don't think he did [20:45] hateball, i guess thats what rsync is for :) === Mindrocker is now known as Guest90680 [20:45] hi all, I've just installed Jaunty. the desktop is really amazing. A question: how can I add a link to the right side pane? [20:45] sebsebseb, the instructions he/ she used were outdated and it's generally not a good start to install a package outside normal repositories if you are totally new to liniux === epcanto is now known as edson [20:45] matreya6: indeed I know [20:46] deany: -i makes cp ask you [20:46] matreya6: ,but if he gave the link for what he was using, I didn't check it out [20:46] umm ok [20:46] im bored of my emerald theme....can anyone suggest a good one? [20:46] Dantix: hm.. the right side pane? is it a normal grey gnome panel? [20:47] matreya6: well the big issue was getting the luancher working, I still find the way Gnome does launchers after these years a bit hum [20:47] deany: that is... "cp -ir /path1 /path2" you'll get prompted if the files being copied from path1 exist on path2 [20:47] shadeslayer: black haze 3.0 [20:47] sebsebseb, yes and the menu editor...Should have scrapped that a long time ago [20:48] My ubuntu isn't woking well... [20:48] Slart: is my first experience qith gnome, the panel shows icons with Home, Network, documents, etc. links [20:48] Lucas19, What are the symptoms? [20:48] matreya6: ah yes there's a menu editor, I didn't tell him to use that. the way Windows does it's start menu shortcuts is good, but with Ubuntu you got to go in some odd folder to remove them, and so on [20:48] it was just my buddy and a newe install of jaunty I did for him.. He`s having the ext4 bug creep up on him now n then, whereas I dont. Fully updated so I dont know what. So i just did cp-av to another folder on root partition, formatted home to ext3 and cp -av back.. no lockups deleting large files now [20:48] Dantix: oh.. in the file manager thingy? [20:48] brembo: nice [20:48] matreya6: uh I meant Gnome, it's not just Ubuntu [20:48] sebsebseb, yes that is not exactly user friendly [20:48] stefg: and then? [20:48] good evening [20:49] ubuntu won't recognize my display, can't get resolution where it should be, running at 800x600, display should be 1280x 800 ..any ideas community? [20:49] matreya6: yes, and I was only guessing on how a luancher for his program, could maybe get added [20:49] everytime i restart my pc the window gets black and ubuntu does't start [20:49] How do I bridge two network cards together? [20:50] Dantix: or the "Places" menu?.. I'm not sure if you can add stuff to that.. I rarely use it myself [20:50] sebsebseb, rather updated, as the main thing of the instructions seemed to work as advertised, even if some locations were wrong and gedit was started with sudo instead of gksudo :-P [20:50] brembo: what gtk theme would go nicely with this? [20:50] i know the computer detects my web cam because when i do lsusb there is my webcam but i cant use it in any program , anyone ? [20:50] Slart: thank you [20:50] Lucas19, do you know what videocard (GPU) you have? [20:50] tyler_d1: then you need to create teh actual array : sudo mdadm -C /dev/md0 -l 5 -n 3 /dev/X /dev7Y dev/Z (where Xm Y , and Z are the partitions you're going t o use). After the yo make a filesystem on the newly created mdadm device /dev/md0 [20:50] AlsaPCM: try it in amsn.... [20:50] how to split LAN with 2 subnets? [20:51] matreya6: maybe I should have looked at the instructions, but I was trying to deal with adding the shortcut [20:51] shadeslayer: gtk theme? [20:51] no sorry... [20:51] can i downgrade 9.04 to 8.10 with apt-get? [20:51] allready did :S [20:51] !downgrade | darkham [20:51] darkham: not easily, but yes. [20:51] darkham: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [20:51] brembo: yeah...like the gnome-theme [20:51] AlsaPCM: that it exists in the output from lsusb just means that the usb connection work.. you still need a driver for actually talking to the camera [20:51] brembo: in system > prefrences > appearence [20:51] sebsebseb, Me too at first, I learned something from that and will utilize it for my own programs :-D [20:51] darkham, thats what clonezilla is for.. saved my butt more than once [20:51] !webcam | AlsaPCM [20:51] AlsaPCM: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [20:52] matreya6: what did you learn? [20:52] I have a problem with my /etc/resolv.conf, after some time (somewhat 2-3 hours of internet use) the nameservers aren't in it anymore and are replaced by a line which says "nameserver 10.10.10.10" [20:52] AlsaPCM: see if it's listed as supported there.. [20:52] shadeslayer: dunno i use default theme [20:52] ok tahnks [20:52] darkham, still have my old intrepid install backed up, in case. [20:52] FloodBot1 /mode -b *!*@host86-155-69-145.range86-155.btcentralplus.com [20:52] oops [20:52] brembo: k [20:52] Phlexonance: have you setup your own dns servers? [20:52] I would like to install windows 7 to get a look at it but it will screw up the boot sector, any quick way to restore that boot sector without reinstalling ubuntu? [20:52] sebsebseb, How to add an application selectable through the menu editor and probably also used with the "open with..." [20:52] !grub | con-man [20:52] con-man: 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 [20:52] slart, no I get them via dhcp directly from my ISP [20:52] Phlexonance: it sounds like it's the dhcp server that is overwriting the dns server info [20:52] !grub > con-man [20:52] con-man, please see my private message [20:52] bleh [20:52] con-man: you can virtual machine Windows 7 if your computer has enough RAM [20:53] How do I bridge my connections together? [20:53] matreya6: ah ok [20:53] con-man: I'd say thats a case for virtual box [20:53] sebsebseb: whats the fps gonne be like on games like WoW vs running them on wine? [20:53] slart, I don't think so, because when I reboot, I get the correct dns entries from the dhcp [20:53] Phlexonance: hmm.. but you get the weird ones if you wait an hour or so.. [20:53] con-man: 3D Windows games and a virtual machine is a no no [20:54] Hi guys, I hope someone here can help me [20:54] slart, a little bit more than an hour, but yes and it happens EVERY TIME, so it's a repeatable error [20:54] !details | Klunk [20:54] Klunk: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [20:54] the latest virtualbox has some support for opengl acceleration.. still not good enough for games though [20:54] /mode -b NewFAQs!*@*!#ubuntu-ops [20:54] It has been a while since I used Ubuntu and I have just installed the 64 bit Jaunty (ubotto, I was getting to that :) ) [20:54] Is there a way to run a local DNS server next to a main DNS having different domain info (Global DNS vs. LAN DNS) The DNS should be usable throughout my network independent of OS [20:55] Is there a difference between the ubuntu/kubuntu lpia version vs i386 or x86_64? I have an Atom 330 cpu and wondering if I will have better performance with it [20:55] Phlexonance: can you check the syslog and see if it says something about it.. remember the time when it starts using the new dns servers and check the syslog.. [20:55] I cannot find things like wine or ndiswrapper in the repositories for jaunty 64 bit out of the box, should they be available or can I not use them in 64 bit? [20:55] slart, yeah I'm just looking at it and there are some strange entries, want me to pastebin that for you? [20:55] Phlexonance: yea, sure [20:56] slart, then give me the IP adress of a pastebin service :D [20:56] Klunk, try sudo apt-get install wine [20:56] Phlexonance: hang on [20:56] slart, or I could query you [20:56] matreya6: you can have the main dns pull records from the second [20:56] Can anybody help me with cat? It doesn't seem to like me: http://pastebin.com/m6f3f409e [20:56] Phlexonance: that works too [20:56] ok i am having major issues with installing ubuntu. im installing 8.04 and it give i/o error at 41%. now i have used this hdd many times. ive tryed though cd and usb drive, yet it wont go. im also making a custom partition layout. ive redownloaded the iso too. [20:57] MrElendig, as in a slave server for DNS? [20:57] ubuntu 9.04 won't recognize my display, can't get resolution where it should be, running at 800x600, display should be 1280x 800 ..any ideas community? [20:57] isnt tor kinda dangerous because malicious users could use it and become completely anomyous? or is there a way to trace them? [20:57] yeah Wine works with that but the ndiswrapper-common is not found, nor are the tools/utils. I want to be able to run my Linksys (Broadcom) wireless network [20:57] stefg: I have attempted this after verifying, and get the error that the first disk in my set /dev/sdb is in use... through mount I do not see this and have as well verified through gparted that it is in fact not mounted? [20:57] kidko: that's just a horrible mess [20:57] matreya6: bind9 is what your looking for [20:57] so what can i do to know my videocard (GPU)? [20:57] Phlexonance: I assume that that ip-number isn't your regular dhcp server? [20:57] MrElendig: I'm trying to find something from one day's worth of IRC logs [20:57] In a folder full of them. [20:57] slart, let me chek a mom [20:57] LALA= ls | wc -l;if [ LALA -ne 1 ]; then rm-rf; fi it throws LALA : integer expression expected....how to fix ?? [20:58] hey, em, Ive just discovered linux recently, could somebody explain me more about it? Ive read so much that it shall be better than windows etc [20:58] how do I tell what version of ubuntu im on? its 8.x [20:58] thats all i know [20:58] yaris123456789: tried putting `` around that expression? [20:58] yaris123456789: what is the exact command please.... what is LALA? [20:58] what should i do... [20:58] tyler_dl, I'll see if I can install and configure that on my OpenWRT router. [20:58] con-man: run lsb_release -a in a terminal [20:58] kidko: grep 'something' '043009*.txt' [20:58] Hello Anybody using fluxbox? [20:58] MrElendig: Thanks :) [20:58] LALA is variable [20:58] im hoping i dont have to replace my hdd [20:58] matreya6: gl.... :) [20:58] tyler_d1: gparted doesn't know about raid arrays. it'll only show the raw devices which are part of the array. show me your sudo fdisk -l output on pastebin [20:58] ChristTX, not better but different... you should try Ubuntu if you aren't already, its very newbie-friendly [20:58] Slart: ty [20:59] couch_potato, i do [20:59] what's up with clipboard in ubuntu? [20:59] Etanol, it doesnt exist [20:59] tyler_dl, thanks! [20:59] :O [20:59] why not? [20:59] gbCerberus, different in what means? [20:59] usser On a laptop? [20:59] slart, I don't know what the ip adress of the dhcp server is but 199 was my own [20:59] Etanol, whats wrong? [20:59] couch_potato, no, desktop [21:00] Ok [21:00] slart, I guess it would make sense the dhcp to be .1 [21:00] isnt tor kinda dangerous because malicious users could use it and become completely anomyous? or is there a way to trace them? [21:00] Lucas19 : lspci | grep VGA [21:00] usser: I kind of want to be able to copy text without having to think about not closing the source window [21:00] Phlexonance: hmm.. then it sounds like the dhcp server is handing out a bad ip-number of dns server.. but only sometimes.. that's strange [21:00] I'm trying to get suspend/hibernate to work other from the cmdlne w/o using sudo [21:01] Etanol, yea, ubuntu's clipboard is not the same as MS. it doesnt exist :) [21:01] stealth-: It is equally dangerous if you have no privacy online... [21:01] slart, wouldn't then all the other customers have the same problem and the ISP would have already fixed it? [21:01] Etanol, you'll have to deal with it [21:01] stefg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/174492/ [21:01] Phlexonance: you could always use the "prepend" keyword in the dhclient configuration to add your own dns servers.. try the opendns dns-servers.. [21:01] ienorand: I guess. So we cant even trace malicious users at all? [21:01] usser: yet, there's a gnome plugin to "encrypt" clipboard [21:01] Etanol, there are tools, that provide that functionality though, like klippy in kde and i forgot the one for gnome [21:01] what that then [21:01] tyler_d1: k... wait a sec [21:01] slart, or I could manually add the dns servers that I get from my ISP [21:01] anyone have any idea on why i suddenly can install ubuntu.ive done it many times. [21:02] cant [21:02] Phlexonance: but yes.. if the dhcp server was doing this for everyone I think they would get a lot of phone calls [21:02] is it true by the way that linux does not need any defragmentation? [21:02] stealth-: Tor is not complete, but tracing would mean tracing everyone, not the way to go, imo. [21:02] Slart, can you give me a hint on modification of the dhclient configuration so that I add my own static nameservers (which are the ones I SHOULD get from the dhcp anyway) please? [21:02] pcfreak30: hmm.. someone has stolen your computer?.. you might want to give us some more details if you want a better answer [21:02] Etanol, glipper is the one for gnome i believe [21:03] christx, they say it does not need it [21:03] ChrisTX: almost.. most of the time, anyways [21:03] but in fact it is not capable of defragging [21:03] but your HDD is slowly decaying [21:03] while using Linux [21:03] yaris123456789: LALA=$(ls | wc -l); if [ "$LALA" -ne 1 ]; then rm -rf ; fi [21:03] tyler_d1: so make sure that neither sdb1, sdc1 nor sdd1 are mounted. then run [21:03] your HDD is always decaying [21:03] ChrisTX, cant speak for JFS or ReiserFS or XFS, but my EXT3/4 partitions dont get very fragmented.. [21:03] Phlexonance: sure.. it's .. /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf .. "gksudo gedit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf" [21:03] tyler_d1: so make sure that neither sdb1, sdc1 nor sdd1 are mounted. then run taht is [21:03] ienorand: k, thanks for the info [21:03] Kuifje111: all hard disks are slowly dying all the time, no matter what OS you use. [21:04] exactally [21:04] herro [21:04] but linux fastens the process [21:04] deany, but how do they evade fragmentation? [21:04] Kuifje111: not true [21:04] windows does too [21:04] stefg: :) [21:04] and so does mac 10 [21:04] ive got 10 gig used in 40,000 files on home and its 0.2% non-contiguous [21:04] !offtopic [21:04] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [21:04] Kuifje111, it defrags during fsck, which are scheduled once every 40-50 reboots [21:04] it is not able to defrag therefore it requires to cycle more and more, which leads to an earlier death [21:04] Phlexonance: then you add a line with "prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;".. change the 127.0.0.1 to the opendns dns servers.. hang on.. I'll get the ip's [21:04] Im running off of virtual machine and never got to set a password how do I reset it without knowing the pass [21:04] of the HDD [21:04] slart: seriously. i tried usuing a custom partition layout. ive used usb-creator with 8.04.2 iso off mit lab. redonloaded too. used a cd and usb drive. still i get an i/o input/output read error. ive reinstalled many times too. [21:04] usser: no it doesn't [21:04] Kuifje111: your assertion shows a distinct lack of kno [21:04] I tried ls /home then passwd but it didn't work [21:04] LjL, it doesnt? [21:04] slart, no need I have mine [21:05] OK guys, I have an AMD64 bit processor, but what advantages does 64bit ubuntu give me over 32bit? [21:05] honestly said [21:05] *knowledge [21:05] Phlexonance: ok [21:05] usser: no. i don't know where you got that idea from. [21:05] its funny, just rebooting windows fragments the partition. I defragged the lot, even pagefile, and rebooted and went back and pagefile was all over the place. [21:05] ext4 will rather cause you to loose data instead of something else [21:05] lmao [21:05] no error code really, im ob live ubuntu atm [21:05] !info defrag gutsy | usser, this is something that does defrag it [21:05] usser,: 'gutsy' is not a valid distribution ['dapper', 'dapper-backports', 'hardy', 'hardy-backports', 'intrepid', 'intrepid-backports', 'jaunty', 'jaunty-backports', 'karmic', 'karmic-backports', 'kde4-ppa', 'kde4-ppa-intrepid', 'kubuntu-experimental', 'kubuntu-members-kde4', 'medibuntu', 'partner'] [21:05] stefg: not mounted on /dev/sdb1 however still same error [21:05] HELP: How can I protect my children to access to internet? Blocking content and Blocking some ports?? [21:05] on* [21:05] ChrisTX: "lose" [21:05] :P [21:05] usser: well, it would be if the bot still had gutsy info [21:05] sorry, typo [21:05] guys. i can't seem to install grub on my parition, i get error 22 , tells me my partition doesn't exists ... any idea ? [21:05] Also, afaik, ext uses smarter methods for writing to the disk in the first place... [21:05] Klunk: I think you need to run 64 bit to support your process. Im pretty sure it just plain wont work on 32. Not sure, though [21:05] just moniter their computer use [21:05] slart, ok so what now? restart dhclient (somehow=) ? [21:06] however, ext4's cached writing is a serious success [21:06] MiladKhajavi: research hosts.... ie. by editing /etc/hosts this can be done, as well there are probably other utils for this purpose [21:06] tyler_d1: paste the error ... you might have to reboot if the kernel did not get the new partition table [21:06] but is there a linux defragmentation tool? do you even need to worry about it? [21:06] !offtopic | ChrisTX [21:06] ChrisTX: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [21:06] oh awesome [21:06] LjL, hehe [21:06] pcfreak30: hmm..I can't really think of a reason just like that.. i/o errors usually mean something is broken cd/usb stick or whatever.. can you test the media in some other system? [21:06] does "why would I use ubuntu" count as support question? [21:07] ChrisTX: no [21:07] tyler_d1: can you introduce some of these utils? [21:07] Phlexonance: well.. a simple "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" would do it.. it will kill the irc connection though [21:07] gbCerberus: there isn't a "linux" defragmentation tool - it depends on which filesystem you use. there is currently no ext3 defragmentation tool in Ubuntu. there used to be one. [21:07] OK, any ideas how I get my Linksys (Broadcom) wireless card to work under 64bit Jaunty? What is the name of the ndiswrapper package I should install if I cant use a ntaive driver? [21:07] ChrisTX: thats trolling, im many peoples opinion [21:07] thanks LjL [21:07] ChrisTX: not really [21:07] ChrisTX: not really.. but ask the people in #ubuntu-ot.. they like that kind of stuff [21:07] slart: this is a fresk usb 4 gig. ive used it at school on windoxe and mycomputer. it works fine. less than a month old [21:07] stefg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/174494/ [21:07] fresh* [21:07] lspci shows the card but I cant configure it to work [21:07] slart, I'm confused, almost all of the stuff in dhclient.conf seems to be commented out, all the "alias" and "lease" configuration, why is that? [21:07] the cd gives the error [21:08] too [21:08] ext4 is supposed to have online defrag feature [21:08] never looked into it tho [21:08] Phlexonance: the defaults works for almost everyone.. but if you need to change something they've put some examples in that file [21:08] how to samba domain controller [21:08] tyler_d1: ah... thee [21:08] slart, ah I see, well thanks a lot, I hope it works [21:08] Phlexonance: give it a try.. good luck [21:08] deany: AFAIK, ext* doesnt need defragging because of the way it stores data. [21:08] MiladKhajavi: unaware of any... I would suggest google [21:09] could one of you guys give me a hand here with a samba domain controller [21:09] stealth-: wrong [21:09] hello [21:09] some of the users cant logon [21:09] tyler_d1: ah... there's already some superblock info found on some of the partitions [21:09] anyone got any ideas? [21:09] MrElendig: then why is there no defragging talk for ext? [21:09] i can logon perfectly [21:09] stealth-: there is. === Stooooge is now known as stooge [21:09] but when my dad comes to logon it says that it cant locate his roaming profile [21:09] stealth-: guess what, ext4 is getting a online defragger [21:09] tyler_d1: does sudo mdadm --detail --scan show any array already running ? [21:09] does anyone know how to fix this [21:09] pcfreak30: hmm.. well.. I haven't seen a lot of those i/o errors that didn't end up being the install media.. not really sure where to start looking [21:09] Would there be any possibility to have "server" as type-in selection in mini.iso installation? [21:09] I just read somewhere it had the ability.. never said it neededit [21:09] also the usernames have a heap of commas after them [21:09] anyone know if NetworkManager has support for RNDIS USB ICS, or is it a kernel module, or what? [21:09] needed it* [21:10] how do i sort this out and get rid of the commans? [21:10] commas* [21:10] MrElendig | LjL: okay, then. Ill take your word for it :) [21:10] can someone help me with this please [21:10] stealth-: it's called "defrag". it just isn't included in current versions of Ubuntu, and it had/has issues with ext3 (as opposed to ext2) [21:10] stefg: mdadm: md device /dev/md0 does not appear to be active. [21:10] stealth-: it was included in older versions of Ubuntu. === Cory is now known as Cory` [21:10] ext3 can get fragmented.. but it's not really a big problem unless the fs is almost full.. [21:10] if I HAD to defrag, i`d just copy files to somewhere else, format it and copy em back. [21:11] Slart: is it the same for windows, then? [21:11] tyler_d1: i see... so mdadm thinks there's already a (broken) array ... [21:11] and ext3 takes steps to self-heal any fragmentation, obviating the need for defragging tools [21:11] Slart, it worked, I hope it keeps working without my further doing =) thanks a lot ! have a nice evening (or whatever your timezone says) [21:11] How do I bridge two connections together? [21:11] stealth-: no, ext3 is a bit more clever about where it puts the file blocks compared to ntfs.. [21:11] Slart: ah. okay. I was partially correct, then [21:11] Slart: thanks [21:11] Phlexonance: you're welcome and have a nice evening too, [21:12] stefg: I'm going to bounce the box, I will brb [21:12] cant say Ive ever seen a decrease in performance, nor have i seen more than a 10% non-contiguous filesystem in the few yrs using ubuntu [21:12] can someone help me with a logon script that wont work [21:12] can anyone here tell me if theyve had this error before Cannot initialize SFTP protocol. Is the host running a SFTP server? [21:12] can someone help me with a logon script that wont work [21:12] tyler_d1: run mdadm -C --help , you might need a force option [21:12] can someone help me with a logon script that wont work [21:12] lenswipe, I'm not familiar with Samba configuration, but comma's without spaces generally mean empty fields in a configuration file. They are quite common. just take a look at /etc/passwd [21:12] deany: what does the non-contiguous mean, anyways? [21:12] matreya6: not sure what you mean... [21:12] matreya6: empty feilds in a configuration file? [21:12] stealth-: I've only heard of people having fragmentation problems with almost full drives that have files written, deleted, grown constantly.. mail queues and such.. [21:13] stealth-: but if you keep at least 10% free space you wont see any problems for a long time [21:13] fragmented [21:13] Slart: ah okay. I was wondering why there was no talk about defrag often here. Yeah, I got a huge harddisk I hardly use any part of. [21:14] deany: so is it still usable memory thats just spread out? [21:14] I would like to test Empathy voice chat. Who would help me in establishing an Empathy voice communication? [21:14] lenswipe, yes. Just look at /etc/passwd for an example. Human users generally have a home directory. Users made for servers have none because they do not login to the system, so the field normally used for home directory is empty, showing as (...,,...) [21:15] contiguous means a file is in 1 place... non-contiguous means its spread out [21:15] matreya6: no but what im talking about is the username on the start menu [21:15] matreya6: instaed of it saying "John Smith" it says "John Smith,,,,,," [21:15] matreya6: like that [21:15] is it relatively safe to upgrade to ext4 from ext3? [21:15] stealth-, dont worry about it. [21:15] deany: k [21:15] lenswipe, sorry, can't help you with that since I'm not familiar with Samba config. [21:16] matreya6: thanks anyway [21:16] can someone help me with samba please [21:16] stealth: it is safe [21:16] magician0617: cool. Does it do it automatically on the upgrade? I upgraded, but im not sure if Im using ext4 or not... [21:17] bry [21:17] lenswipe, I would be suprised if there was no dedicated channel to samba, probably called #samba, best try your luck there [21:17] stealth-:i hate to intrude,is their a way that i could do that,upgrade from ext3 to ext4 without a fresh install and are their necessary precautions? [21:17] nmvictor: Im trying to learn that myself :) [21:17] matreya6: there is (#samba) problem is, ive been posting in there since maybe about 2:00 uk time and its now 21:17 uk time [21:18] nmvictor, For any change to your file system, backup your critical files and documents. It's common sense [21:18] matreya6: there is literally nobody there at all [21:18] nmvictor: I think I found something: http://maketecheasier.com/how-to-upgrade-from-ext3-to-ext4-without-formatting-the-hard-disk/2009/04/21 [21:18] jest tu ktos kto kto gada po polskiemu??? [21:18] matreya6: loads of people logged into the channel, just the channel is 100% dead and has been all afternoon [21:18] lenswipe, that can be a problem with some dedicated channels, yes... [21:18] matreya6: thanks [21:18] as for upgrading.. can someone knowledgable tell me if using a livecd to copy everything to somewhere else, like a usb hd, formatting to ext4, editing the fstab accordingly, and copying data back, would work?

[21:22] Klunk, if you haven't changed the root password, it should be the same password as you use for normal login [21:22] tyler_d1: this means the system in the initramfs doesn't find a raid array. if you ctrl-d or exit that shell booting continues ? [21:22] Klunk: I think the passwd is usually your accounts password,probably the sudoers passwd [21:22] what's the unzip command to make a zip file unzip to a certain directory instead of the one it sits in? [21:22] it just shows me the same box again when I type that in [21:23] eseven73 gzip /path/to/directory [21:23] stefg: tried to create the raid again with the same error... ctrl-d(exit) takes me back to kernel panic.... not syncing: attempted to kill init!

You should be able to do that with root rights, but I do not know how. Try reading the docs/ manpages [21:26] stefg: have to restart to get back to prompt to find out..... frozen there [21:26] tyler_d1: might be easier to boot to recovery mode [21:26] is it okay to use respritories from previous versions of ubuntu?

[21:31] tyler_d1: sure.. that update-initramfs is only available if you have the system booted correctly. can you boot the system from a Live CD ?

Due to some unexpected circumstances I ended up reinstalling with the only disk I could find a link to, 9.04. Problem is, I have problems in a few areas of importance. One I can't seem to install OpenVZ kernels -- which is a deal killer for me since I require it for work. Two, I had to revert my Intel video drivers just to get video to work, and three wh [21:36] Slart does the modeline go under "monitor" or "screen" ? === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam [21:36] Where can I find a link to 8.10 again, or is this completely dropped now? [21:36] Slart: yay it supports XP ntfs :D (it is really old data from the days i used windows, 40G hard drive) [21:36] dylan_: here are some examples.. http://www.viajes-abaco.com/m400a/xorg_conf.htm [21:36] Or if someone can point me to working instructions for openvz + 9.04 I wouldn't mind staying with the system I've got right now. [21:36] distatica, I think you can only get 8.04 [21:36] Dr_Willis, would you mind me hitting you up on PM, so I can get this clear in my head? [21:37] Klunk, Yes, that's the one. [21:37] matreya6 I can see the card under iwconfig, but I cant bring it up with ifconfig [21:37] racecar56: yes it does.. and a whole bunch of other formats.. [21:37] distatica, http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ [21:37] distatica, most people prefer 8.04 over 8.10, it's faster and less buggy [21:37] nmvictor: Downloading was suspended, after it begins first. [21:37] mikebeecham: i got PM's normally disabled. you could pop into #puppylinux :) im in there also with a few other people. we are always glad to help ubuntu stuff.. [21:37] stefg: cannot touch /boot/initrd.img......... permission denied [21:37] on my way [21:37] mikebeecham: plus i may have to run away at any time.. to help the wife [21:37] Klunk, check you logs for clues why it won't go up. [21:38] de2652: I didn't, not for a desktop. I found 8.04 to be a PITA while 8.10 ran flawlessly and worked with everything out of the box. [21:38] stefg: nm.... sudo [21:38] distatica, same here. 8.10 was much better on my laptop than 8.04 [21:38] distatica, Well, 8.10 had a newer kernel meaning more drivers [21:38] Slart: intel/pc partition table means msdos, right? [21:38] in those examples, Slart , it shows "horizsync", instead of Horizrefresh, are they the same thing ? [21:39] question #1 ; with a desktop and 8.10, what do I need to do to remove the choices of some kernels that don't work for me (2.6.28 just doesn't work with my computer) [21:39] eXeC001er: were you doing the upgrade from the terminal?im afraid you are not giving enough info on your issue [21:39] matreya6 the command says 'SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory' [21:39] Slart: according to gparted the partition table was a msdos [21:39] racecar56: not sure.. it's a good guess though [21:39] Slart, there is horizsync and vertrefresh [21:39] I can only get 2.6.27 to run on the computer [21:39] Slart: that is what i chose, im pretty shure thats it [21:39] mrwes: see, nothing but problems since, I tried to install downthemall in firefox 3.0 and FF hung. Now my download window is all screwed up. Now I tried to open that link you gave me and it says firefox is not responding (it is to me) and will need to be restarted. Sillyness. [21:39] Slart: it didnt find the data yeat [21:39] Can 9.04 be installed with an encrypted home directory ? [21:39] Sure this -might- be all me, but all I can say is me was fine for 8.10 but me apparently isn't so great for 9.04 [21:39] Slart: *yet [21:39] nmvictor: no, i use Synaptic. [21:40] hi all, i'm trying to use cabextract in a nautilus script with file-ident. but it is not recognized. How to edit file ident magic number? [21:40] Can anyone do me a favor and post their /boot/grub/menu.lst to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/? [21:40] Hi [21:40] dylan_: I haven't done this in at least 2 years.. you could check "man xorg.conf" for some up to date info [21:40] distatica, you need a direct link to the 8.10 desktop torrent file? [21:40] Slart: 73% [21:40] tyler_d1: you need to mount sda1 to the rescue system and then chroot to it... like sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt ,mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc, mind -o bind /sys, /mnt/sys sudo chroot /mnt [21:40] mrwes: I would love that, can start from CLI then [21:40] Slart: it will need to get to 38165 at finish [21:40] hold [21:40] ok will do [21:40] Hi... anyone know where I can get eGalax_drv.so for Ubuntu 9.04? [21:41] sburwood:you would use synaptic to remove them completely or edit /boot/grub/menu.lst so that it is not reflect but that will still keep it installed. [21:41] tyler_d1: *mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys taht is [21:41] racecar56: just let it run.. [21:41] nmvictor, I will try synaptic [21:41] matreya6 I checked /var/log/messages and nothing but there is a message about Cannot find firmware file 'b43/ucode5.fw' earlier isnt b43 the native one and I need to blacklist that? [21:41] I don't know how to mess with menu.lst [21:41] Can anyone do me a favor and post their /boot/grub/menu.lst to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/? [21:42] eXeC001er: any error messages,or the download of upgrades just stopped immediately? [21:42] gletob: what is your problem? [21:42] I keep having this problem with new Ubuntu installs and Synaptic, ever since 8.10. I tick all repos, add medibuntu, hit reload........ but I still can't find wine, xchat, any of my favorite apps in Synaptic. [21:42] Klunk, ah, that message is much more helpful :-) [21:42] Slart: my username was ubuntu_ because im on a live cd, as my main hdd is going nuts too [21:42] How do you get synaptic to see the packages in universe and multiverse? [21:42] Slart: still works, though, btw im using a laptop [21:42] Guntbert: I just need a working one as a reference. [21:42] where can I get  libdirectfb-1.2-0 ? [21:43] isaac_ edit your /etc/apt/sources.list [21:43] CarlFK: sudo apt-file search libdirectfb-1.2-0 [21:43] Hi... anyone using Ubuntu 9.04 with an eeepc/wind solderless touchscreen (eGalax)... if so, how do you get it to work? [21:43] I remember reading that Ubuntu 9.04 had an option to make your home directory encrypted. How do I do this? [21:43] isaac_ once its edited and you've uncommented the lines you can run sudo apt-get update then they will be enabled [21:43] Klunk, it tells you, you need to download the firmware and put it at the required location before this will work.

[21:54] mrwes: KDE because they are used to Windows, and the only piece of hardware I'm worried about is the sound card but I know how to fix it if I have problems [21:54] mrwes, probably because it looks a bit more like Windows than Gnome... [21:54] darkenigma2652, oh :( [21:55] darkenigma2652, You might want to try XFCE as well (even more like Windows) and very fast [21:55] Hey, before I break my computer (I'm a newbie at this kind of stuff), tell me what to do with menu.1st [21:56] matreya6, I know, I like it too. I'm planning to install the xubuntu-desktop package if KDE is too slow [21:56] I found the section about the kernels. Do I just delete the lines I don't want?

(i just have the german error message: Die Desktop-Effekte konnten nicht aktiviert werden.). The 3d accelerating drivers are activdated (Nvidia) and the graficscard is good enough!! whats the problem with this?

[22:20] racecar56: well, a handful of them actually runs in wine... [22:20] racecar56: some viruses might work in wine, but they would only be able to affect that installation of wine [22:20] wipe vs shred. which is better ? [22:20] chnguy: wubi? that's a bit of a problem here actually [22:21] slart: I don't think that is exactly what I need.

[22:21] mzz: but they cant make ubuntu actually die... [22:21] racecar56: true, but he can't simply format the partition now [22:21] mzz: but maybe your wine stuff... yes [22:21] mzz: k [22:21] hey anyone. wireless stopped working on my laptop. 'ifconfig' shows ESSID = "". how can i make the ESSID = ''? [22:21] Hi [22:22] is there a way i can force output from the script i call in rc.local to be sent to a certain text file (error and stdout) ? also, where would both of these otherwise be displayed... dmsg? [22:22] racecar56: oh, and yes, wine executing viruses is potentially problematic since wine can "see" your regular files [22:22] homeskillet: iwconfig [22:22] racecar56: (bit of a disadvantage to wine having all of / mapped to z: now) [22:22] stapel: I doubt you'll find any finished "remove tourists"-apps out there.. I think you'll have to pull up your sleeves, start Gimp and get to it [22:22] racecar56: ya... even though ~/.wine is mounted as C: [22:22] racecar56: so if virus looked in C: it cant harm ubuntu [22:22] my seller said he installed ubuntu 8 under windows... in fact, it shows in the windows control panel 'add new software' ... but i want to delete winxp... will ubuntu be deleted ?.. i guess it wont be in windows registry for sure... so i can safely reformat c drive?... ubuntu is in d drive [22:23] If I wanted to run EQ do I have to install Windows or is there a better way? [22:23] wind0pain: do you want stdout and stderr to go to the same file? [22:23] hey there. my DVD drive doesn't seem to be mounted all of a sudden. any idea what could have happened? [22:23] th0r yeah i meant iwconfig shows that [22:23] vigo: wine MIGHT work [22:23] homeskillet: no...you can use iwconfig to change it [22:23] lstarnes: or two separate files [22:23] lstarnes: i guess two separate if it's just as much work [22:23] Slart: OMG it says ntfs! [22:23] Slart: in fdisk [22:23] wind0pain: scriptname >/path/to/output-file 2>/path/to/error-file [22:23] hmm, I wonder if I can bump the number of inodes on an ext4 partition without reformatting it. man tune2fs time? [22:24] th0r ok i just used iwconfig to change it and it worked but my internet still wont work. any ideas? [22:24] Slart: ummm...................... it isnt my data i lost though [22:24] homeskillet: can you ping the wifi router? [22:24] ugh, I can't. [22:24] lstarnes: and if i had wanted just one file, would i do scriptname >/path/to/output-file 2>/path/to/output-file [22:24] racecar56: Thank you, I was also trying to avoid that, it does not really work. I did look at something called Caldega? but I am clueless to that software . [22:24] th0r no it says connect: network is unreachable [22:24] wind0pain: scriptname >/path/to/output-file 2>&1 [22:25] when i ping 192.168.1.1 [22:25] wind0pain: your method also works, but this merges stderr into stdout [22:25] lstarnes: i see. [22:25] homeskillet: does ifconfig show an ip address? or are you assigning static ip? [22:25] GreenDelta2: are you using the binary nvidia drivers? [22:25] winxp has been a pain... and also avg is another... they seem not to recognise a problem with my new system... even cmd/regedit wont work... i tried all tricks... i have been successful all the time...but this time avg failed... [22:25] is there a better chan for newb questions? [22:26] like getting my GFX card the right drivers?

[22:27] JoshuaP0x: I'm a bit busy at the moment, but ask the channel.. include details about your system, graphics card model, version of ubuntu etc etc [22:27] Slart: hey, there is 2 ntfs's! [22:27] homeskillet: do you know what the wireless card used to be...wlan0, eth1, etc [22:28] prassyy: what system configuration file? [22:28] fitemashine, what the question [22:28] th0r wlan0 [22:28] Hi [22:28] thanks. WIll do. [22:28] JoshuaP0x: you can type !nvidia or !ati for some bot-info too [22:28] homeskillet: then try 'sudo ifup wlan0' [22:28] Slart: dunno? i just installed the new ubuntu (its a new laptop, but everything works, except that) [22:28] th0r but ifup wlan0 says ignoring unknown interface too [22:28] lstarnes: i [22:28] my GFX is a strange one === newbie_ is now known as nightrid3r [22:28] I found this page https://launchpad.net/~hexmode/+archive/ppa/+build/726133 It's cool but is there a way to find out the php5-apc produced ?

[22:28] OK, i'm running 9.04 on a dell vostro 1000 and i've gotten far enough to have my wifi light on but i don't have any connectivity yet [22:28] th0r lspci recognizes my wireless card as Network controller: intel corp pro/wireless bla bla [22:29] with ubuntu, i could not solve my problems... for eg. dvd backups... winxp was taking over 1 hr to backup, because of settings... ubuntu also was taking almost that time... never friendly helps... then i found a solution for winxp...now it copies in 8mins.... [22:29] th0r yes multiple restarts [22:29] prassyy: check System > Preferences > Hardware Information [22:29] Wondering, why does my Tablet PC show no Config item to calibrate the touchscreen, while the AcerOne without a touch screen has such an item?

[22:30] Thank you [22:30] th0r i'm logged into my router right now on my desktop computer which is on the same network (the one im irc'ing from) and everything seems fine. i dont know why the internet just magically stopped workin in ubuntu [22:30] what does that mean and what should i do?

[22:30] I'm having strange problems with my mouse under Jaunty. Works fine under Intrepid. In Jaunty, it sometimes doesn't respond to any mouse clicks and at other points responds to locations way different than where I clicked. Sometimes, it also stops responding to alt-tab requests. [22:30] th0r no but ive been doing updates everytime they come out [22:30] lstarnes: well ty -- i guess i just need to read a lot regarding this [22:31] homeskillet: then again.....the wireless card might have died [22:31] i find none answers me.... should i wait or lament again?! [22:31] prassyy: there are also tools like lsusb, lspci, and lshw [22:31] vigo: will do. Thanks. [22:31] justis: you sure it isn't a hardware problem? (ie: tried another mouse) [22:31] is there anything i can run like md5sum that will work on a directory instead of a single file? i don't have the tolerance to do it for 3000 different files in 2 locations [22:31] Jeruvy: same mouse works fine on the Ubuntu 8.10 system that's connected to the same KVM [22:31] badfish69: md5sums can be run recirsively on folders [22:32] justis: what type of kvm? [22:32] th0r i wish i would have dual booted ubuntu and windows on my computer that way i could find out easily if it was the operating system that's to blame and not the hardware [22:32] lstarnes: im very new to linux have no idea regarding such tools --- i just might start reading about linux design [22:32] Jeruvy: interestingly, I can observe the mouse input with 'xev' and what xev sees is exactly the same thing that matches the behavior ... sometimes it doesn't even see a click [22:32] homeskillet: My next step would be to see if the correct module had loaded (lsmod), but I have no idea what module to look for [22:32] prassyy: the graphical hardware info program uses information provided by hal [22:32] Jeruvy: it's a TrendNet 2 port USB KVM [22:32] alguien en español === jean is now known as Guest83351 [22:33] !es | magaly [22:33] magaly: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[22:36] i'm a programmer so linux is for me [22:36] bingo [22:36] it's worth the troubleshooting [22:36] homeskillet: i complain and moan quite a bit using it too. in the end, if it's taking too much from you, switch back until either you're ready or linux is ready. [22:36] Jeruvy: perhaps the problem *is* with the KVM. I can't understand why it would work on Intrepid, but not on Jaunty. Having it working again is more important than a perfect solution, though. Thanks for the nudge in the right direction ;) [22:36] Dr_Willis: granted. different tools for different people. [22:36] Jeruvy: it works fine when plugged in directly. [22:36] homeskillet: I found the stability and performance are much better in xfce than in gnome or kde [22:36] if i recursively run md5 on the folder, and output to a text file, then the text file's md5 should give me enough to go on right?

[22:37] personally, i'll keep running linux b/c i hate vista and XP isn't available on new PCs (i don't count netbooks) and also because i love the windows-present and desktop switcher features (have tried running third-party in windows, no comparison) [22:37] wind0pain linux may never be 'ready'. if i thought that 10 years ago i'd still not be using it. i remember in 97 when people were still sayin 'come back when it's ready'. still wasnt ready in 2000, then i came back in 2004 with debian and it finally seemed pretty good, still far from perfect, then ubuntu 8.10 finally got me back for good but it's still failing [22:37] so here goes jaunty, i'll install it today [22:37] how do I install kernel sources for intrepid [22:37] Jeruvy: if I'm sure that it works under Intrepid, but not under Jaunty and that it's related to the KVM ... you want me to send you a note? Why? [22:38] homeskillet: I don't want it ready....it is my geek escape === newbie_ is now known as nightrid3r [22:38] badfish69: why not run something like this, use cd to go to the parent folder of the one you want to check.. [22:38] homeskillet: i typically try it out once every five years... it feels just as much of a pain to me today as it did 5 years ago but 5 years ago i wasn't face with being bent over and accepting Vista sucking the life out of my new tablet [22:38] justis: most of the 2port kvms I use are dlink but trendnet has become moreso more recently. I think it's pretty decent stuff but always curious about hardware related issues [22:38] does anyone know how to list available wireless networks from console ? [22:38] chnguy: I would download an ISO of whatever version you like, then reformat the drive, then install fresh. (I went out of the windoze three years ago) have not missed a thing except a bunch of aggrivations. [22:38] badfish69: then run "md5deep -re ./thefolder > thefolder.md5".. you'll get a file with filenames and hashes [22:38] hello [22:39] How know how to install kernel sources? [22:39] homeskillet: but you are right- it may never be ready. until linux is able to get the hardware support that windows gets, it will always be a bit behind... sucks. [22:39] and then get a hash of the file? [22:39] badfish69: you can then use that file with md5sum.. such as "md5sum -c thefolder.md5" and it will check each file and report the ones that are missing on broken [22:39] is there any way to upgrade a certain package via aptitude? I've checked the man page but full-upgrade and safe-upgrade upgrades all the packages in the system, not a certain one.. thanks [22:39] I've got a problem.... I'm using an ubuntu testing server, and I need to use gettext with PHP. however, when I try setting the site in italian (it_IT), gettext doesn't work. I read this is because /var/lib/locale doesn't contain it_IT. how can I install it? (and all other locales?) [22:40] anda, y yo k pensaba q esto no lo usaba nadie [22:40] homeskillet: I am curious...is the linux machine dual-boot? [22:40] I don't want to install all languages (including translations of apps etc). just the locale [22:40] How do I install kernel sources? [22:40] Hi , anyone good at acoustics ? [22:41] how do i shred a directory ? [22:41] what will 'md5sum -c thefolder.md5' compare it to? [22:41] badfish69: sorry.. first command should be "md5deep -rel ./thefolder > thefolder.md5" [22:41] badfish69: it will read the file names from the file and check those [22:41] AlsaPCM, ? [22:42] badfish69: the hashes are in the file too [22:42] zimbres, Any one good in the field of acoustics ? [22:42] is there any way to upgrade a certain package via aptitude? I've checked the man page but full-upgrade and safe-upgrade upgrades all the packages in the system, not a certain one.. thanks [22:42] Hi, where do I find network manager on Jaunty? [22:42] if it reads the filenames from the file, won't it just check the md5 against the original copies? [22:42] yaris1234567889: -rm or something like that, but to shred, well there are packages that do that also. purge is another way. [22:43] or will i have to place it in the directory to compare against and cd to it? [22:43] AlsaPCM, I am a physicist, perhaps I can help you...

[23:30] haha, I was not fishing I was trying to work on ubottu's self esteem, just a bot indeed [23:31] briancron: ok [23:31] the robot uprising has begun, and they're all emo [23:31] lol [23:31] Malacath: you have a working Zune with Ubuntu? [23:31] briancron: the 'denial' one was funny.... [23:31] ...i think i did at one point, havnt tried lately lol [23:31] !lol | briancron [23:31] briancron: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [23:32] #linuxac [23:32] SoDoMa: no [23:32] briancron: it was only once, but anyway === eso_ is now known as eso [23:32] !ot | ilyas [23:32] ilyas: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [23:32] I'll refrain in the future, between you and me, I really didn't laugh anyway so it was a bit of a fraud [23:32] i used that libmtp thing before and managed to go through it before [23:33] briancron: yeah I hardly laugh for real as well [23:33] limited but if it can get into it just a bit then maybe the game thing could be gotten through [23:33] sebsebseb: I don't really get why 'lol' is frowned on, but smileys aren't.... [23:33] ok [23:33] Malacath: Zune and Linux hummm [23:33] losher: I guess, because of the way people use it [23:33] Is there a way to in a series of commands entered in a launcher to have my password automatically entered for sudo su? [23:33] can debs be uninstalled with apt-get? [23:34] wind0pain: sudo purge programname [23:34] wind0pain use dpkg if you manuallyl installed a .deb [23:34] Lyth: nope [23:34] wind0pain: that will get rid of a program and it's config files [23:34] Hi all. My sound stopped working earlier today, I've checked alsamixer and my sound options in ubuntu, and they're all up. I've also had a look around the support forums, and I've got the same problem as other people, but their solutions haven't helped me at all. Don't suppose anyone's got any ideas, have you? [23:34] Any way to automate it? [23:34] mindrape: Synaptic/apt-get will have the Deb if it's manualley installed as well always/normalley [23:34] heeeello all [23:34] well i saw some people saying there was certificates and encryptions on the booter on the zune hardware, but you can still put games onto it done in C#, was just a thought i saw that nobody seemed to mention [23:34] How to fix it, that is. [23:35] wind0pain: see above [23:35] Lyth: there are some ways.. you can make sudo/gksudo not ask for a password for certain commands by configuring sudo [23:35] how can i figure out what the program name in the .deb was? or is it the same as the .deb filename? [23:35] DevilAsh, I ran into a similar problem earlier this morning, what I did was go into your sound settings and change everything to PulseAudio. [23:35] wind0pain: by opening up synaptic and finding it there, that's one way [23:35] I guess I'll just do it manually [23:35] ok [23:35] Lyth: but it's easier to us gksudo in the launcher and make it popup a dialog asking for the password [23:35] wind0pain i personally use dselect... [23:35] wind0pain: you could even get rid of it graphicalley [23:35] mindrape: dselect??? [23:35] yes, dselect. [23:35] question: how do i make the resolution bigger if i don't have a monitor plugged in? [23:36] ack! any apache nerds on here? my setup all of a sudden just won't start.... [23:36] mindrape: sounds vaguely familur the name, but don't know if I used it [23:36] !info dselect [23:36] dselect (source: dpkg): Debian package management front-end. In component main, is optional. Version 1.14.24ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 400 kB, installed size 2180 kB [23:36] Astray, I haven't got PulseAudio installed at the mo', I'll try downloading it and having a go though. [23:36] deagle: are you using vnc or something like that? [23:36] darkhelmetlive: probably not, but I think #apache might exist [23:36] Slart: yep [23:36] sebsebseb: oh good an apache specific channel. thanks! [23:37] dselect gives you the best view of pkg mgmt in your system IMHO. [23:37] deagle: can't you set that when you launch the vnc server? [23:37] i cant register on the forum to leave the game proxy start idea tho...so if anyone wants to put it up...by all means xP [23:37] deagle: I think there is a --geometry switch you can use [23:37] hey guys...my wireless card (using ipw2200 driver) will let me see other networks but won't let me ocnnect to a network (regardless of wpa or wep)...it keeps on asking for authenticaiton...i've been working on this since yesterday...i really need to fix this... [23:38] can i perhaps install the ipw2200 driver again [23:38] Slart: ummm... I'm talking about the actual X server (the options under System->Screen Resolution are only up to 640x480) [23:38] deagle: what vnc server are you using? [23:39] just got the new 9.04 installed... how do I move the gnome panels? [23:39] Slart: x11vnc [23:39] ah well off i go :D [23:40] Kassah: by right clicking them and going to properties [23:40] Kassah: I think [23:40] Kassah: as far as I know you can only have the panels on the sides [23:40] hey whats that third party software that installs the ati drivers codecs and what not? [23:40] sebastien, that has orientation... trying to get one on my second screen =( [23:40] Kassah, dual monitors nvidia? [23:40] need osme help [23:41] coz_, yeah... TwinView [23:41] Guest58190: with? [23:41] Kassah, did you try right clicking the one panel New panel and then dragging it there? [23:41] coz_, they don't seem to want to drag [23:41] mm [23:41] Hello ^^ I return with more questions [23:41] Kassah, let me try here [23:41] usb [23:41] Kassah, do you have compiz running? [23:41] coz_, that's what used to work I think... [23:41] coz_, yeah I do [23:41] sebsebseb - he can't get his USB drive to automount. I tried helping him but he doesn't have a grasp of a lot of simple commands so he ended up F bombing me about 30 times. Your mileage may vary. :) [23:42] Kassah, disable compiz and it should work [23:42] but over all ubuntis giving my other erros that probally link to that [23:42] mindrape: what do you mean F bombing ? [23:42] lol [23:42] coz_, cool... I should be able to just turn it back on when I move them? [23:42] This time concerning Linux Swap. Guys, if I have 2GB of RAM, is 2.61 GB of Swap space good enough? [23:42] mindrape: swearing? [23:42] liar [23:42] who knows [23:42] Kassah, ` yeah once in place restart compiz [23:42] cuas eth ubuntu wa sfine yesterday [23:42] Kassah, this is going to change radically with the next version of gnome however [23:43] and no i din't swear [23:43] oh? [23:43] Kassah, essentially gnome will not allow another window manger to run [23:43] deagle: I'm checking... I'll get back to you when I find something [23:43] anyone know the name of the software that installs propriatry software? [23:43] Astray, I've just been checking my sound options after installing pulseaudio, and I get this error 'audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback.' [23:43] coz_, that sounds weird... [23:43] infidel : are you looking for envy? [23:43] !medibuntu | infidel [23:43] infidel: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [23:43] i need a usb thing but i think there way more wrong [23:43] coz_, hmm... still won't drag... brb... gonna logout and back in === Guest58190 is now known as tux11 [23:43] Kassah, ok [23:44] i need config fix [23:44] Slart: thank you so much [23:44] any ide oan how to that terminal say it cann't find servers [23:44] Anybody can tell me what segmentation fault is? [23:44] Looks like the guy who was helping me's gone AWOL, so I'll ask again. [23:44] Astray, I've just been checking my sound options after installing pulseaudio, and I get this error 'audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback.' [23:45] Rafael: I think I Googled that not that long ago, but don't remember what it is [23:45] Hi all. My sound stopped working earlier today, I've checked alsamixer and my sound options in ubuntu, and they're all up. I've also had a look around the support forums, and I've got the same problem as other people, but their solutions haven't helped me at all. Don't suppose anyone's got any ideas, have you? [23:45] Sorry for the messages, by the way. Sent the wrong one first >_< [23:45] Rafael: yes I must have Googled it [23:45] might auto remove help? [23:45] coz_, nope... still won't drag with compiz off [23:45] Kassah, yeah I just tried it here as well [23:45] i need some help [23:45] coz_, fyi... it's a fresh install =/ [23:45] Kassah, I dont know what happened to the click and drag feature for the panel [23:46] maybe i need fresh install as well? [23:46] tux11, prolly not... [23:46] DevilAsh: i'm no expert, but I've had trouble w/ pulseaudio before....I googled for a tutorial to remove pulseaudio and just run ALSA....might work for you? === ohol1ks is now known as chol [23:46] tux11, I did it more to start over my home directory than anything =) [23:46] ok [23:46] tux11, I could have just as easily rm'd it... [23:46] works perfectly for me, but maybe there's some functionality that you'd miss? not sure [23:46] i tried auto remove [23:46] tux11, I'm just lazy and installed on a new hard drive =) [23:47] I was running Alsa earlier, then my sound just broke. It's not like I messed with anything, either, galant14b [23:47] ok [23:47] coz_, I'll go see if there is a gnome channel... because this is gonna drive me bonkers [23:47] deagle: it seems you have to edit your xorg.conf file.. since it's not detecting a monitor it defaults to the lowest settings [23:48] Kassah, there is ##gnome [23:48] I know..same thing happened to me....Rhythmbox was playing my music one day and then in the middle of a song, *poof*....no audio, reboot and reinstalling pulseaudio wouldn't make sound come back. [23:48] deagle: you can set "useEDID false" to make it not care about detecting a monitor and trust whatever settings you provide in the config file [23:48] coz_, thanks =) [23:48] Sods law, I guess. I'm going to try a restart again, anyway. Thanks though. :) [23:48] i need help [23:48] Slart: o_O? from where? [23:49] whisper me the info too hard to follow in room [23:49] Um, guys, I need to know; can a Linux Swap partition being too small cause freezes and lockdowns? [23:49] Tasem: how big is it? [23:49] Tasem: only if your memory is also very very low [23:49] 2 GBs, I have 2 GB Ram [23:49] deagle: this is basically what you had to do by hand if you installed linux more than.. 2-3 years ago [23:49] thats what she said [23:49] Tasem: no way [23:49] Tasem: that's not to small [23:49] how do u at least fix the server linking issue? [23:49] Ah, allright [23:50] deagle: if you run this command.. "gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" you'll see the config file [23:50] Should it still be bigger though? I heard it should be double my RAM, but Im not sure. [23:50] Tasem: I think that's only for hibernation/sleep [23:50] Tasem: 1.5 times or double [23:50] Slart: yeah, but where do I set the option? [23:50] !swap | Tasem [23:50] Tasem: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [23:50] Allright, I guess I'll make it double just in case. [23:50] Slart: as in, where do I type it? [23:50] says it can't find chromuim [23:51] deagle: hang on.. I've got a headless server running too.. I'll do it at the same time.. [23:51] Thank you guys [23:51] Tasem: 4GB SWAP on a computer that won't sleep or hibernate, seems such a waste [23:51] Slart: thank you so much!
