[00:00] raylu, give me error gdm not running. might be using kdm . how to config it to run by gdm ? [00:00] ops... but VLC is not working... [00:00] how can i mount an iso file in ubuntu? [00:00] !iso [00:00] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.

[00:01] they are ok... but not opera or VLC [00:01] Spiritual: that's how [00:01] cecilia, open vlc [00:01] sebsebseb: i've tried to do that [00:01] spydergt: yeah, I think it's because I combined a couple partitions and thus screwed up the labels (sda etc) and my menu.lst hasn't been updated to point to the right one. could that be the reason why I'm getting the error 12? or am I completely off [00:01] ok [00:01] but there is a problema with the format [00:02] problem* [00:02] cecilia, open tools/preferences [00:02] fung , when you play with partitions you better be ready to write off all the data , you should use a boot cd and mount the hdd in question and attempt to recover any data possible to a back up drive , [00:02] hi guys, I am trying to set up port forwarding on my ubuntu system. Ideally I would set my router to receive connections on 12345 and forward them to 22 for ssh, however my router is backward and I can only pass through the same port number, so in Jaunty how can I listen on 12345 and actually then talk to 22? [00:02] right [00:03] fung you can always attempt to correct the errors but you might have lost all the data involved [00:03] Klunk: you can set up ssh to listen to any port, not just 22 [00:03] cecilia, on the bottom left click the all tab === ring1 is now known as ring0 [00:03] ok [00:03] fung did you combine the partitions in winders ? you can try something like partition magic 8 and boot into windows pe and let it attempt to fix it [00:03] `DoM`: try the nvidia-settings package [00:04] sebsebseb: i'm going to try to use ultraiso [00:04] thats true, what about incoming web? Also I am now runnign vmware and I want to do the same with 8222, but I dont want to expose a known post ;) [00:04] though wine [00:04] Klunk: and you can use iptables to do outgoing port translations [00:04] Has anyone had issues with VLC and playlists of over 100+ songs. When loading the playlist VLC will skip songs as if they dont contain music, and then terminate abrubtly. [00:04] it's done [00:04] Spiritual: what's ultraiso? [00:04] <`DoM`> danand_: i did it but from there i can only SEE temperature when i need to slowdown it [00:04] sebsebseb: it's a programm for windows [00:05] open the audio tab then output modules chose alsa [00:05] Spiritual: well yeah, but what does it do? [00:05] spydergt: the partitions I combined were empty. windows wasn't on any of them. here's the output of boot info script http://pastebin.ca/1426956 if you have a moment to skim through it [00:05] sebsebseb: it mounts images [00:05] Spiritual: you can even mount ISO's in Wine and stuff like that [00:06] sebsebseb: hum... i'm going to try right now. Thanks. [00:06] give me a sec ill look [00:06] cecilia, you should have a big box say's alsa audio output [00:06] spydergt: my windows partition is on sdc5 [00:06] Spiritual: and you can in Linux, but you done whatever wrong I guess [00:06] how can i do it so that when i press page up it sends 10 up arrow keys, through screen or some key binding or what? i want to scroll through a list in rtorrent that doesnt use page up/page down functionality, only arrow keys 1 by 1 [00:06] th0r, can I specify multiple ports for ssh in ssh_config? [00:06] sebsebseb: yes... I think so... [00:06] raylu, lol seems u didn't help in anything . the ubuntu is seems to be sux more seems i have to remove user and re-add it again better thing since no one can can help me with this [00:07] sebsebseb: how can I find the format? [00:07] iso9660 etc. [00:07] chuck: you mean at Audio? [00:07] alright, here's another one, how do I make a crontab entry go every OTHER week, not every week [00:07] i see four sub-options, one of them is Output modules [00:07] Klunk: I don't think so, but you can set up ssh, for example, to operate on port 12345 and then use iptables to translate outgoing data to port 12345 so it goes out 22 instead [00:08] put a number between 7 and 14 for day of week? [00:08] should i use extfs4 instead of 3? [00:08] cecilia, thats the one [00:08] ok, thanks. I was just being lazy and wanting to use 22 internally and 12345 externally :-) [00:08] ext4* [00:08] lyrae: you can do if you clean install, but some issues still that are mentioned in release notes [00:08] !notes [00:08] Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) release notes can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/ReleaseNotes [00:08] Klunk: you can use iptables to set that up as well [00:08] sebastien, so it's not really recommended ? [00:09] yes, but it shows Alsa device name: and some options to choose... Default , [00:09] sebsebseb, so it's not recommended, right? [00:09] Ensoniq etc etc (the sound card) [00:09] lyrae: it's not really recommended to newbies, but experiended users we can do it [00:09] another Ensoniq (which never worked) [00:09] cecilia, open the default tap [00:09] ok [00:09] lyrae: and there's a later kernel in a ppa, that solves one of the issues some people get with it [00:09] hello [00:09] Klunk: set it up to translate port 12345 from external ips to port 22, and leave internal ips alone...then config ssh to operate on 22 [00:09] lyrae: most people that have used Ext4 were fien [00:09] fine [00:10] sebsebseb, thank you [00:10] installing vlc u simply just cant beat it [00:10] cecilia, it should show your sound card with hw.0,0 [00:10] chuck, it works :) [00:10] does any1 know how to stream live audio via vlc? [00:10] thanks th0r, I think I will leave the iptables alone for now and do that when its not so late. For now I will change the config to use 12345 === Kernel is now known as Wicked [00:11] Klunk: there is a lot of fun buried in iptables [00:11] i confess I messed this VLC configuration when the sound problem started some days ago [00:11] vlc rocks [00:11] well, it doesn't [00:11] lyrae: 10.4 will probably use Ext4 by default instead of Ext3 [00:11] weither it windows linux or osx vlc comes up trumps [00:11] lem me open again this tab and see [00:11] lyrae: 10.04 [00:11] sebsebseb, ah ok. thanks [00:11] yes, I used to run a nat firewall and mail server between windoze and the world outside, but pressure from Mrs meant I went back to windoze and dropped Linux completely. She now has her own pc :) [00:12] sorry, chuck... i was wrong... it shows [00:12] the soundcard with the end you said [00:12] lyrae: however if you clean install and do Ext4, and have data backedup some where else as well [00:13] lyrae: to be sure, well then yeah you will probably be fine with it [00:13] cecilia, yes hw.0,0 [00:13] that's here in the options [00:13] although i chose the default option [00:13] sebsebseb, yea, i already backed it all up [00:14] lyrae: a few people say Ext4 partition can get all currupted, but most people that have used it, have never had such issues [00:14] Hey guys, I have a little concern. The only network-related app that I am running right now (apart from this irc client) is the Deluge bittorrent client. According to Deluge I am uploading at about 2.6 KB/s, but if I open the System Monitor, and go to the Resource tab, it says I am uploading at about between 7.7 and 16 KB/s (it fluctuates quite a bit). Why could this be? Could there be a nasty app or trojan that is running and uploading files? Thanks [00:14] >_< === Butcher is now known as ShazbotMcNasty [00:15] cecilia, that should work with default since you only have one sound card but vlc can be buggy at times thats why i wanted you to tell it what to use [00:15] sebsebseb, well, corrupted is bad, ;( lol [00:15] now i dont know if i want to risk it [00:15] ralmar: most likely just normal network overhead plus your irc session [00:15] ok [00:15] ralmar, you can check sudo watch -n 1 "netstat -tpanl | grep ESTABLISHED [00:15] yes, it seems everything is fine now, although i tested only the main players and firefox... [00:15] lyrae: well it would probably work well for you [00:15] lyrae: check out the releate notes for the Ext4 stuff yeah [00:15] we'.ll see [00:15] !ext4 [00:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about ext4 [00:16] !notes [00:16] Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) release notes can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/ReleaseNotes [00:16] hey, does anyone know the name of the "Steam"-like app for free games and mods? somehting like chronos maybe? [00:16] Can anyone help me get processor scaling working on a Toshiba a205-s5000 running ubuntu desktop 9.04 .. Here is some debug information http://www.pastie.org/482208 [00:16] ralmar, put a " at the end of ESTABLISHED [00:16] but let me tell you that when i started amarok, it appeared a message from Phonon: PulseAudio doesn't work [00:16] sebsebseb, im installing the daily live though. so its 9.10 [00:16] falling back to Ensoniq etc etc [00:16] lyrae: oh dear [00:16] sebsebseb, ={ where can i find the latest build of 9.04? [00:17] lyrae: you came here worrying about Ext4, and there you are doing the buggy alphas of 9.10 [00:17] they dont seem to offer it anymore [00:17] lyrae: you should be more concerned about 9.10 going wrong for you [00:17] howcome playlist in vlc just shows list of tracks but in windows it splits the tracks into there albums [00:17] i am too [00:17] whats the command to pm someone ? [00:17] lyrae: don't use the alphas! [00:17] CJJ: /msg [00:17] ralmar, another one might work too: sudo netstat -antu |grep -i ESTABLISHED [00:17] lyrae: unless your a proper experiended user, or a developer [00:17] thanks [00:17] howcome playlist in vlc just shows list of tracks but in windows it splits the tracks into there albums [00:18] is there a commandline way to get wireless signal strength? I'm assuming "wpa_cli scan_results" is cached? [00:18] ok. i started downloading 9.04 [00:18] lyrae: if you want 9.10 early, virtual machine it, but don't use it for your actsaul system, untill at least beta [00:18] lyrae: and yeah beta will be buggy to, but more stable than alpha [00:18] cecilia, so now you have no sound in amarok? [00:18] yes, i do [00:18] i need some help with a lilo.conf error anyone ? [00:18] howcome playlist in vlc just shows list of tracks but in windows it splits the tracks into there albums [00:18] sebsebseb, ok :) hold on be right back [00:19] apart from the weird message, but i always received the same message since all this trouble began [00:19] it started before the upgrade to jaunty [00:19] hey, does anyone know the name of the "Steam"-like app for free games and mods? somehting like chronos maybe? i realize this is wierd place to ask, trying to test it in wine [00:19] vlc audio goin up and down up and down whyyy [00:19] system4041: pehaps the guy doing the build for windows is using some patches/different versions. [00:19] but cant find it [00:20] bhsx: #windows dont know eh? :) [00:20] vlc audio goin up and down up and down whyyy [00:20] nope [00:20] I have sound in most players.. i haven't tested totem and opera seems to complain about lack of a plugin [00:20] i'm trying there to :P [00:20] and in winehq [00:20] bhsx: try #steam :) [00:21] cecilia, i do not use opera that much so no help there [00:21] no problem, you already help a lot! [00:21] eseven73, thanks o much [00:21] thank you really! :D [00:21] np [00:21] what could cause my keyboard to suddenly be ignored in some programs?? [00:22] can someone tell me why would mpd not connect to its default port even if i have no applications using it? [00:22] fratellis = fukin amazin [00:22] I mean, out of the blue, no keyboard input anymote [00:22] Theres only a few connections which seem weird to me, I am connected to port 443 on a few remote ips [00:22] anymore* [00:22] ralmar: thats https [00:22] In gconf-editor: Could someone tell me what is the default value on: /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/panel [00:23] iratik, yeah, that actually crossed my mind.. though there is another one on port 8001 which I have no clue what it could be since Deluge is not using that port... [00:23] ralmar: cat /etc/services | grep 443 [00:23] is there a channel for general issues in ubuntu? [00:23] gex: gnome-panel [00:23] ralmar, normally speaking, Ubuntu doesn't open any ports by default, so you're pretty safe unless you start forwarding ports on your router (or in case you don't have a router, you open port for ssh server or whatnot) then you might want to look into firestarter or something [00:23] cecilia, your welcome [00:24] anyone know about the screensaver "FLURRY" why it was removed?!? (was it for the intel gfx problem?) [00:24] ok, thanks VCoolio [00:24] Anyone know if I would have to do any manual configuration to run a triple boot Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu desktop? The machine in question is a self built Intel Atom 330 system with a ATI x1550 and a 160 gig hard drive.

[00:25] the_oopla: the ubuntu installers are pretty good at working with previously installed stuff, just do ema ll in a row and limit each one to a third of the hard drive (unless you wanted to do somehting funky, then obvious manual tweaking is needed [00:25] I need to turn the speed down before my system overheats and spontaneously shuts off [00:25] need to scale it down to 75% [00:26] Thanks guys. Well there is only one suspicious connection. Local port 49279 , remote port 8001. Anyone know how i can see what process is making that connection?

[00:27] thanks [00:27] the_oopla: typo for "em all", I think, and you can share swap if you like [00:28] My laptop built-in wlan switch is almost dead so I bought an usb one to replace it [00:28] It 's seamlessly detected (thanks to ndis) [00:28] the_oopla: yes, it was a typo, and if you want them to share anything, you would have to do the manual tweaking during install, I don't know how that would work...

How should i set up my to receive 2 linux and 1 windows ? [00:34] Does anyone know a good sound card to use on Linux? [00:34] :\ [00:34] I tried apt-get -f install to see if that would find them -- Said all were OK. [00:34] andre: your going to have two distros on there? [00:35] mzz under program name it only says stuff like "python"..... [00:35] sebsebseb yep 2 linux distro and one windows xp [00:35] ralmar: there should be a pid in there too. You can look that up in your favorite system monitor-style app. [00:35] andre: what will XP be used for? and you could just virtual machine another distro or more if you got enough RAM [00:35] mzz under pid it says tcp on almost all of the connections i belive [00:36] ralmar: the pid is (in the version of netstat I have here) the number right before the process name. I get "... 2582/ssh" with 2582 the pid. === ripps_ is now known as ripps [00:36] I downloaded part of a torrent on another host using rtorrent, i copied the downloaded folder with the partially downloaded content into this host and I'm trying to use transmission but it says I have 0% downloaded, how can I start with a hash check? [00:36] Greets [00:36] sebsebseb; yep right but no, its not for me and its must be like 2 distros lin, and one xp for other stuff wich doesnt work on linux wine exemple [00:36] andre: if you have two distros on same hard disk they can share /home [00:37] andre: sharing the same /boot between two distros I think could cause issues. and by default Ubuntu does / with /home and /boot and all that in it, and a swap [00:37] sebsebseb; but anyways the question about the importance of the type of partition for the different use [00:37] mzz thanks i found the pid´s. the thing is some of the connections really dont have a PID, its just a "-"... And i cant find the connection I am looking for. I have the connection which process I want to see in another terminal window but it wont appear on the one with the PID... [00:37] btw, what is X display? how do i know if i need to install xvfb [00:39] sebsebseb is the / can be on an extended partition É?

It only pulls up Root Terminal [00:40] hrm, I can't even get into this Root Terminal anyway, doesn't seem to accept my password [00:40] newbie here with a question [00:40] i want to know if / or /boot need to be absolutly on a primary partition or if it can be on an extended partition [00:40] andre: Wndows is priamry, and / is primary [00:41] and same for the windows partition is the windows can be install on an extended partition ? [00:41] andre: you can put Ubuntu's partitions for example in an extended [00:41] setting the weather [00:41] what if my city isnt there?

[00:48] yo [00:48] Ami doing something wrong. [00:48] sebastien: fair amount.. whats the prob [00:49] IndyGunFreak: andre is the one with the partition questions [00:49] can anybody help me please? i'm having a trouble of getting my system to play from a dvd and i get this error: Could not read from resource. [00:49] iratik: have you seen http://memebeam.org/toys/ToshibaAcpiDriver [00:49] !dvd codecs [00:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about dvd codecs [00:49] "Does not have a corresponding BIOS drive" mean ? [00:49] mimiloon You may need to go into groups and make sure you have permission to do that. [00:49] factoids are 1 word. :) [00:49] !dvd } thiebaude [00:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about dvd } thiebaude [00:49] :) [00:49] ah man [00:49] andre: ask your questions again, and I think you may get somewhere this time [00:49] !dvd | thiebaude [00:49] lol, tired [00:49] thiebaude: 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 [00:49] i've been to that page before, i get that error [00:50] ok, i've figured out how to set up my pptp connection but when i click on it in the menu it doesn't appear to dial. how can i get information on the dialing progress and maybe error messages for the dialing? [00:50] !dialup [00:50] You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up [00:50] iratik: do the modules compile ok? [00:50] hey all [00:50] Jack_Sparrow: thanks for the info, let me look into that [00:50] np [00:50] IndyGunFreak: is there an importance in the partition type for the / and /boot ? like primary, extended ? or it doesnt matter [00:50] ActionParsnip: Its in the paste http://www.pastie.org/482208 [00:50] andre does not matter for ubuntu [00:50] andre: i find it easier to just use all primaries if one can. [00:50] I've tried all those things [00:51] andre: not really [00:51] andre: of course you can only have 4 primaries. [00:51] FATAL: Error inserting toshiba_acpi (/lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/drivers/acpi/toshiba_acpi.ko): No such device [00:51] Guess its because its a phoenix bios [00:51] pptp, not dialup, i don't know why i used the word dial... too much time using windows... [00:51] iratik: what is the output of: /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/acpi/toshiba_acpi.ko [00:51] andre wants 2 Linux distros and XP on the same computer [00:51] Jack_Sparrow: and does it matter for windows ? [00:51] sebastien, two linus distros ....which ones? [00:51] andre windows prefers to be the first partition on the first drive installed before ubuntu [00:51] ActionParsnip: no such file or directory [00:51] coz_: don't know [00:52] andre: now partition "type" would matter, but primary or logical, etc.. should be ok [00:52] sebastien, well ubuntu and suse would be my first choices [00:52] andre: which 2 Linux distros? [00:52] Dr_Willis: i want more than 4, thats the point 2 linux distros and 1 win XP [00:52] iratik - sudo lshw -C cpu <--- are you expecting it to be at a certain clock speed right now or what? [00:52] join ubuntu off-topic [00:52] coz_: Suse no thanks, since the Novel and Microsoft patents deal [00:52] sebastien, although I would install suse first and then ubuntu [00:52] hello. ive written a bash/shell script to move some files using sudo mv. However not al the files are always present, but the script should continue nevertheless... how? [00:52] andre: err.. that could be done with just 4 :) (windows)(linux 1) (linux 2) (swap) [00:52] iratik: ok then you need to compile the module or find a package with the module in [00:52] iratik: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/toshset/+bug/181374 [00:52] olavimmanuel: probably best to ask in #bash [00:52] andre You could do it in all primaries, but you would not have the ability to have a sep /home etc [00:53] !home [00:53] Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [00:53] olavimmanuel: pastebin the code and we can try to troubleshoot [00:53] mindrape: Thats the same information i have in the pastie [00:53] iratik: you can't just modprobe something if its not on your disk [00:53] Jack_Sparrow: i have the right to use the cd/dvd drive [00:53] ActionParsnip: Thats why i included "dpkg -l | grep toshset" in the pastie [00:53] olavimmanuel Please /join #bash [00:53] iratik - what are you expecting to see though? [00:53] I dont know what your cpu is versus what you've attempted to throttle to. [00:53] mindrape: I should be able to turn down the processor speed from 1.86 ghz to 75% of that [00:54] ok [00:54] ty [00:54] like in windows , when i turn down to 75% to keep the machine from randomly shutting off === Butcher is now known as ShazbotMcNasty [00:54] Dr_Willis: i would prefer share /home in between, and also on the windows side i'd like to have a safe partition in case windows got fucked [00:54] iratik - pastebin your powernowd config. Also, until you get that module loaded I'm not sure it will even work... [00:54] andre Lose the profanity.. thanks [00:54] iratik: then those packages do not not have the module in them do they [00:54] andre: watch the language [00:54] thats what i've determined [00:55] i don't know where to get that module [00:55] sorry about that [00:55] ty [00:55] hello. Iam trying to get asterisk running with an Firtz Card under jaunty. Asterisk is up and running with SIP [00:55] EugenMayer: Asterisk and Ubuntu hum [00:55] now iam asking myself, how to get the Firtzcard working. isdn4linux / mISDN / CAPI? [00:55] EugenMayer: now that's a pretty tricky app to get working [00:55] EugenMayer: have you tried #asterisk ? [00:55] EugenMayer: and I don't really know enough about it to be able to help you [00:56] Hey. Got a small query; Is it possible to delay the sleep (power management) when people are connected to the samba shares? [00:56] iratik: i'd read that launchpad link i gave, seems quite conclusinve in areas [00:56] iratik - based on my reading it seems that those scaling daemons will automatically kicked in when you are unplugged or other requirements are met. This will all be based on your .conf file... so technically it could be working right now but you just dont realize it because of how you have it configd [00:56] jtaji: actually not, because first off i need to get the card up and running. [00:57] Hello, how can I ssh open my bittorent app (transmission) and exit the terminal without kill the app ? [00:57] Man I'm having the weirdest issue [00:57] kmkz - screen or & to detach it when invoking [00:57] I just booted up, and I get my desktop, but nothing else. [00:57] kmkz, nohup applicationname & [00:57] no toolbars, no nothin'. [00:57] kmkz: transmission has a web interface, use that to manage torrents from outside the system [00:58] kmkz - also man fg bg... [00:58] anyone have any idea how to manually launch the toolbars? [00:58] EugenMayer: you'll still probably have more luck there though... not saying it's off-topic here though [00:58] Fumoh|Laptop - you mean like the taskbar w the clock? [00:58] okeyz :D thanks for the fruitful ideas [00:59] or at least reset all my gnome settings? All I did was try to set up a hotkey to launch a terminal but it looks like it killed my whole gnome desktop. [00:59] gh [00:59] mindrape: yeah [00:59] ActionParsnip: thanks for that page, its given me another direction to try [01:00] apparently toshiba isn't toshiba when its a phoenix bios, in that case, toshiba is really omnibook and i'll have to pull a package from debian sid [01:00] where are the files to set the mouse sensitivity in gnome? [01:00] Fumoh|Laptop: you could try a 'killall gnome-panel' and perhaps a 'killall nautilus' [01:00] Fumoh|Laptop: well the safest way would probably to restart gdm which should boot you out and when you log back in it will have hopefully made itself sane. [01:01] reddbull - I believe its in xorg.conf the resolution setting [01:01] skimmers&rippersneeded [01:01] jtaji: I launched gnome-panel from a terminal and that brought it up, but I still can't switch windows (no alt+tab or anything) [01:02] mindrape: what's the best way to restart gdm? [01:02] my computer wont boot up, can someone help? [01:02] I wish I could take a screenshot so I can post a pic of what this looks like, it's weird ;P [01:02] mindrape, I did try that, but I'll check again. Might have gotten the sample config file or something [01:02] Fumoh|Laptop: sudo service gdm restart [01:02] Fumoh|Laptop, run nautilus [01:02] Hello... [01:02] snell - does it get past Grub atleast? [01:02] snell: if you get no boot then i'd head into #hardware [01:02] Fumoh|Laptop: note that will kill your whole X session [01:03] he's gone... [01:03] hehe [01:03] i installed Ubuntu 9.04 Server Edition, now if i want to install GUI /GONE/kde on it then how can i do ? [01:03] snell: if you get complications with the OS but you know the hardware is ok then here is ok [01:03] fudd, sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg fluxbox [01:03] fudd - well in general running a bloated GUI on a server isn't really recommended... [01:03] mindrape yes it does [01:03] fudd: ubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-desktop [01:03] snell: if you can be a bit more precise it would help lots [01:03] snell - how far do you get? what error msg do you get before it hangs? [01:03] i tried to connect a flatscreen samsung and afterwards it wont give me any GUI === Paraselene__ is now known as Paraselene_ [01:04] no error, it says starting timidity ok [01:04] then it stops [01:04] it flashes a few times, then just sits there [01:04] mindrape: unfortunately, I still got nuthin'. [01:04] usser: mindrapge is saying that its not recommended ? [01:04] What command do i enter to see what Graphik card i have? [01:04] i can use command line [01:04] dominoeffekt: lspci [01:04] jtaji : ubuntu-desktop [01:04] what [01:04] snell - can you ALT F1-F6 and get to a new console? Maybe login and make it stop trying to load the timidity daemon? [01:04] domi235: lspci | grep -i vga [01:04] jbroome thanku [01:05] fudd, it is not recommended, you gotta ask yourself why did you install server in the first place? === customer is now known as linuxman410 [01:05] mindrape yes i can use alt f1 [01:05] snell - can you login on a separate console and ps aux | grep "timidity" then kill it? [01:05] or anything? [01:05] or is it just "frozen" [01:05] how do i make it stop loading timidity? although i think it gets through loading timidity because it says okay [01:05] fudd: I meant to install one of those packages... so it would be... sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [01:05] fudd, do you want all your processing power to be wasted on displaying meaningless eye candy which you wont see most of the time or do you want to be spent on something useful [01:05] usser: what is fluxbox.. ? it will not come gnome-desktop or ubuntu-desktop ? [01:06] !info fluxbox [01:06] fluxbox (source: fluxbox): Highly configurable and low resource X11 Window manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.1.1-1 (jaunty), package size 1306 kB, installed size 4176 kB [01:06] usser: no i just want to install it, [01:06] fudd - in general a server needs no GUI. It's headless and can be remotely administered through SSH. If you need a GUI I'd question your admin skills... maybe hire somebody to maintain it for you? [01:06] mindrape does ps aux | grep "timidity" kill the process? [01:06] snell - no, that just finds its pid. [01:06] fudd, fluxbox is a window manager [01:06] !wm [01:06] fudd: why did you install server if you want a desktop ystem? what did you hope to gain from the server install? [01:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about wm [01:07] !window managers [01:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about window managers [01:07] you'll have to kill -9 or -15 if you wanna be nice its PID. [01:07] mindrape then what do i do after i get its pid? [01:07] usser: hmm..

[01:07] !ati > dominoeffekt [01:07] dominoeffekt, please see my private message [01:07] fudd, with fluxbox you'll get a panel a menu to launch applications and window decorations [01:07] Hey, why is Ubuntu 8.04 considered "ideal for large deployments" as opposed to jaunty? [01:07] fudd, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [01:07] pccc: hardy is lts, jaunty isnt [01:08] pccc - maybe its a LTS? [01:08] long term support = corporations are risk averse and dont want to be running "bleeding edge" software. something time tested and supportable for 1-5 years is ideal. [01:08] dominoeffekt: which version of Ubuntu are you using? [01:08] icic [01:08] thanks [01:08] rww hm latest i think. [01:08] ! lts [01:08] !lts [01:08] hmm [01:08] what makes flash applications suddenly go.. "gray".. need to reload the damn flash chat :\ [01:08] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [01:08] rww how do i look waht version i have? [01:08] k thanks [01:08] dominoeffekt: lsb_release -a [01:08] How many CPU socket can Ubuntu Hardy address? [01:09] !lts [01:09] invite Please stop [01:09] rww 9.04 [01:09] invite: ubottu already answered you [01:09] snell, kill -s 9 if you haven't gotten it yet [01:09] fudd: you may find the server install hasnt setup your sound either which installing any desktop will not do [01:09] Hello! [01:09] hokay, switched over to the desktop ;P [01:09] Wazzappp === Fumoh is now known as Fumoh|Desktop [01:09] Is intrepid ibex an LTS release [01:09] fudd: theres a reason why there is a server and a desktop system [01:09] Cryptic_Donkey: No. [01:10] fudd - if you absolutely MUST have a GUI then go w something light weight... a window manager (blackbox) versus a desktop environment (gnome/kde) [01:10] Cryptic_Donkey: hardy heron is [01:10] Cryptic_Donkey: 6.06 and 8.04 are the only LTS releases. [01:10] Cryptic_Donkey, no such luck im afraid, LTS's are very rare [01:10] dominoeffekt: The Radeon 9600 uses an R300-series chipset. This chipset is not supported by fglrx (the binary driver ubottu/mindrape linked you to). You'll have to use the open source drivers, which should be installed and used by default. [01:10] ussr: what this command for #apt-get install ubuntu-desktop if kubuntu-desktop is for kde ? [01:10] rww so i whould not have to do anything? [01:10] fudd that is the command [01:11] fudd: you sound like you are new to ubuntu. I recommend you install the desktop system [01:11] how long do I have to upgrade to 9.04 right away [01:11] dominoeffekt: assuming a lack of bugs or other problems, that's correct. [01:11] !releases > Cryptic_Donkey [01:11] Cryptic_Donkey, please see my private message [01:11] !lts [01:11] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [01:11] hmm. yes, jst wanted to know few things.. [01:11] hi folks, is there a way i can turn off my notebook's display? i've set the "put display to sleep when inactive for" option to 11minutes, but the screen doesn't turn off completely after the period set. [01:11] rww okey. Reason im asking is that i lag like hell in nexuiz [01:11] fudd - what is your intended use of Linux? Do you just want to host a small personal website? You can do that w desktop version... just install the daemons and additional software you want (http/mysql/php/etc) [01:11] fudd, ubuntu-desktop is for gnome [01:12] oh i see.. !! [01:12] Cryptic_Donkey: hardy will be supported until 2011 [01:12] by default network manager marks each successful connection "Connect Automatically". Is there a way to change this default behaviour? [01:12] dominoeffekt: It's possible that the open source driver doesn't support 3D acceleration for your card. [01:12] fudd - server versions are "tuned" to run daemons more efficiently versus all the eye candy a desktop version would entail. [01:12] Can anyone help? [01:12] rww :S Nothing to do about that? [01:13] dominoeffekt: I'm not sure. The people in #radeon probably know more about the state of things. [01:13] rww okey, Thank u mate for all the answers! [01:13] V0iD__ I'd look in the release documentation for Hardy... should say. [01:13] I'm running Jaunty on my EEEPC 901, but the array.org/ubuntu/ has the jaunty kernel as testing, the intrepid one is stable, any issue using the intrepid kernel in Jaunty? [01:14] bobbob1016 yes, dont do it [01:14] bobbob1016: It's not a good idea to do that. [01:14] dominoeffekt: the r300 does have some 3d acceleration. What in particular doesn't work? [01:14] !eee [01:14] Information about installing Ubuntu on an Asus EeePC can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC [01:14] mindrape: Thanks but thaught someone could save me the trouble! [01:14] ussr: apt-get install build-essential is for installing compilers etc under ubuntu 9.04 ? [01:14] Hello, i have a script i want to run at startup, the script works very well but i cannot seem to get it to work at boot. i used the update-rc.d nameofscript.sh defaults and it just returnst usage ? [01:14] V0iD__ I used to memorize all that... not for the last 5+ years though... [01:14] fudd: yes [01:14] fudd: xubuntu-desktop will give you xubuntu which is lightweight but you will still need to setup and configure sound if you need sound [01:15] mindrape: Cool thanks mate! [01:15] Jack_Sparrow: Which is why I asked here first. I went to the help.ubuntu site, and didn't see anything kernel related, apart from array.org [01:15] dominoeffekt: I don't know if current ubuntu still needs this, but I've seen a *huge* speedup in certain apps after using driconf to "disable low impact fallbacks", assuming I recall the wording correctly [01:15] hmm... [01:15] bobbob1016 np [01:15] taget_ throw it in the end of /etc/rc.local [01:15] i can't get amarok to play anything, or DVDs to play, does anyone know what I'm missing?

(i have the lowers possible resolution and other graphic settings [01:16] taget_ whichever you prefer... not sure how you manage your system. It's called at the end of each runlevel so it will get called 1 way or another. [01:16] dominoeffekt: any app in particular that triggers this (preferably one I can test here too)? I have a 9600xt card in this system [01:16] mindrape aye thanks i ll give it a shot [01:16] I have an 8GB flash drive that is empty, but the make a usb startup disc creator says i have only 945 mb free space. how do i fix it? [01:16] help.ubuntu down? [01:17] biella: works for me. [01:17] biella: http://help.ubuntu.com/ works fine for me. [01:17] biella https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu for dvd [01:17] zaccour: you could unpartition it then try again. This will destroy ALL data on the device [01:17] i'm not able to look up the IP [01:17] biella - invoke it from the terminal... see if it gives error output. You can also use strace to invoke it. ie; strace amarok (sudo apt-get install strace obviously since its not there by default) [01:17] ActionParsnip, how do i unpartition it? [01:17] that will give you lots of info on whats happening "behind the scenes" [01:17] mzz happens while playing Nexuiz, nothing more i can say that i can think of could be triggering [01:18] zaccour: if you run sudo fdisk -l you will find out the device name [01:18] anyone know of a good alternative to sqlplus for ubuntu? I need it for querying an Oracle db... [01:18] hrm, ok amarok works now... I guess its just playing dvds in vlc that doesn't [01:18] zaccour: you can then run: sudo gparted /dev/ (e.g. sudo gparted /dev/sdb) [01:18] escape123987 - you could always rev up FreeToad... [01:19] escape123987: I believe it works w WINE... [01:19] heya this might really sound stupid but i cant find the option to enable time stamps in my IMs in pidgin 2.5.5,.... any1 knows how to enable them (i use the ubuntu jaunty package) [01:19] all you helping people, you are great :) [01:19] I downloaded part of a torrent on another host using rtorrent, i copied the downloaded folder with the partially downloaded content into this host and I'm trying to use transmission but it says I have 0% downloaded, how can I start with a hash check? [01:20] Hi guys, is there any package to provide j2ee on eclipse? [01:20] mabus - look in ~/.rtorrent ... anything there? [01:20] ActionParsnip, i just installed gparted, now what? [01:20] mabus: what version ubuntu you on? [01:20] k_wolf - this isn't really a development channel.... I'd ask in #java or #eclipse [01:20] zaccour: run the commands i just said [01:21] mindrape: I'm not on the rtorrent host, but more specifically what do I need from what folder on the rtorrent host, then? [01:21] jtaji: I am on intrepid [01:21] after killing a process in a virtual terminal, how do i get my xwindows back and get my laptop to finish booting up? [01:21] Good i change ny /etc/apt/sources.list that i am running the lts release [01:21] mabus - not sure... lots of programs create hidden folders (ie; .programname) in the home directory from where you were running them. [01:21] snell, youll need to hold ctrl+alt+f7 [01:21] mabus: transmission in intrepid was very buggy, you might just try removing it and adding it again [01:21] kora-chan: when you open a conversation window it is in the Options menu [01:21] so if you kick off a download on compA then move to compB to finish you'd need both the files where you were saving to and probably state info from the programs directory. [01:21] mindrape: thanks. [01:21] mabus: it's all good in jaunty, btw ;) [01:22] th0r: ahhh thanks a lot, i looked like 10 times through the preferences and didnt find it [01:22] jtaji: it was indeed the client's fault, thanks. [01:22] mabus: there's also a repo to get just the latest transmission [01:22] mabus: no prob [01:22] another rtorrent session hash checked it fine [01:22] snell - CTRL ALT F1-F6 gets you to console... ALT F7 to get back. If X wont start you can restart gdm/kdm processes. [01:25] i got the gparted gui open, how do i know which one of the 3 is the flash drive? [01:25] zaccour: there's a drop down in the upper right that shows your drives [01:25] zaccour: its size will match the size of the usb stick [01:25] zaccour - usually the naming convention... sda = local harddisks. [01:26] what does this mean ! May 19 03:13:16 : kad : user NOT in sudoers ; TTY=unknown ; PWD=/home/kad ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/sbin/simple-restore-gnome [01:26] oh i didn't see that, thanks [01:26] zaccour - also you can ls -alh /dev/disk/by-id and that will hopefully be more obvious. [01:27] ok now how do i destroy everything on the flash drive in the gparted gui? [01:27] zaccour: just remove the partition [01:27] helper: It means the user "kad" attempted to run "/usr/sbin/simple-restore-gnome", but isn't set up with administrative privilages in the sudoers file. [01:27] !sudo | helper [01:27] helper: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.

[02:16] mimiloon: Which means manual for fdisk [02:16] dotblank: no, it's just got a very weird layout [02:16] it works in windows [02:16] kovacsleeve: he is trying to play a dvd not format. :) [02:16] mzz: it calms down if i stop rhythmbox tho..

I have a text file of 250Mb, and I need to insert some text at the beginning of the file and the end. how would I do it, not opening the whole file? ) sorry for the noobness ) [02:20] maccam94: when you redefine keys with .Xmodmap (after you figure out the codes with xev), you have to mark 'Use System Defaults' in the Pref-Keyboard.

[02:21] :) [02:21] progre55 - never done that before... I'm sure there is a quick way... lemme google. [02:22] mzz: i removed the applet, its still on 100. -_- [02:22] mindrape, hehe :) thanks dude, appreciate!) [02:22] progre55, you can do this echo test | cat - file > new file [02:22] does pref->keyboard take effect immediately, or do I have to log out/in? [02:22] syntax\: I'm thinking, it may be the very script in conky you just successfully activated... Kill conky, run rhythmbox and check your cpu activity in terminal with 'top' [02:22] progre55: 2 ways... http://mirror.hamakor.org.il/archives/linux-il/05-2005/15391.html [02:23] hi guys good day or night - whereever you are. can anyone help me clean up ubuntu? its crawling slower than a 2 legged turtle carrying a huge iguana on its back..

I'd consult !grub [02:24] sudo, sudo and indicator-apple are the 3 top process [02:24] pegon: i will pastebin. just a sec [02:25] plipityploop, ok [02:25] helper - ls -alh . can you paste the output?

[02:26] DrunkJedi, UNR? If you mean ubuntu over a malfunctioning old one? I would say it could help and fix your problems [02:26] !grub > mroc [02:26] mroc, please see my private message [02:26] DrunkJedi, thats very scary.. I would backup before doing anything like that [02:26] UNR = Netbook Remix [02:26] DrunkJedi, ahhh okay yeah you could do that...but yeah I would say its easier backup then fresh install 9.04 [02:26] ATM, my Hardy hangs on a DRDY error right before it boots the GUI [02:26] pegon: ummm do you happen to know how to copy paste htop results? [02:27] What does runlevel 5 stand for in UNIX? [02:27] Hence, I caan't get into the damn thing to backup [02:27] mzz / VCoolio: if i kill rythmbox the system calms down. [02:27] I love how linux's settings are mostly stored in /home makes for easy desktop config backups [02:27] helper - and just for my sanity can you grep "cisco" /etc/group [02:27] plipityploop, ummm if you are doing it in terminal just select it all and copy and paste it then paste the link in here if thats what you mean [02:27] aaditya run level 5 http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=run+level+5+linux [02:27] Everything else boots fine, but it fails at the very last hurdle [02:28] DrunkJedi, what fails/ [02:28] plipityploop: that didn't help [02:28] plipityploop: thanks for trying though [02:28] Quick question: Can anyone recommend a good pdf viewer?

[02:29] I look at tty, and all I see is a looping DRDY error [02:29] syntax\: yes, but the real problem may be another app that is looking at rhythmbox, since dbus is very high and not rhythbox. What is indicator applet, does that do something with rhythmbox? Anyhow, I'm not much help on this and also going to bed. Good luck [02:30] pegon it doesnt highlight - i tried both - and i tried in xterm and gnome-terminal - i am using htop by the way. sorry ill try to google how to [02:30] plipityploop: there are several listed under http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runlevel#Unix [02:30] plipityploop: what's the UNIX standard? [02:30] the music applet, i tried killing it then reloading the applet it somehow calmed down again. it must have been the applet that was causing the extreme cpu usage [02:30] DrunkJedi, thats indicative of a failing drive [02:31] ummmm plipityploop try whatever command you are using >>> output.txt should save the output too a text file so you can copy and paste from that [02:31] dotblank - IT shouln't be, this netbook is only 3 months old [02:31] DrunkJedi, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=937872 [02:31] aaditya Debian, as well as most of the distributions based on it, like early Ubuntu, does not make any distinction between runlevels 2 to 5. [02:31] plipityploop, >> two arrows not one lol [02:31] pegon thanks ^^ [02:31] plipityploop, np :) [02:32] syntax\: see if you can find a script (dbus-monitor --session?) that logs what goes through the dbus bus [02:32] syntax\: if you do find one pastebin the results [02:32] mindrape, so? [02:33] mzz: where can i see that :D [02:33] helper - on ph... hold [02:33] mindrape, okie :) [02:33] can anyone recommend a good ftp client that supports SSL ? and preferably with a GUI [02:33] syntax\: try "dbus-monitor --help" in a term window [02:34] robert-_-: Try filezilla [02:34] robert-_-: check out file.. damn, too slow [02:34] robert-_-: did you try the one built into nautilus? "Places > Connect to Server..." [02:34] pegon: not sure if this is right http://paste.ubuntu.com/175311/ [02:34] robert-_-: Has a gui, pretty easy to use. We use at school to upload stuff remotely. [02:35] mzz: http://pastebin.com/d70aeb315 [02:35] dbus session [02:35] dotblank - thanks, I already saw that page. I used the disk checker that comes with the 9.04 bootable, gave me a single error.... The rest of the drive seems to run A-OK, I suspect it might just be that particular it, hence why I was wondering about overwriting with 9.04 [02:35] plipityploop, I notice you have a lot of duplicates running not sure if thats a copy problem or not but you have a lot running twice especially getty [02:35] is there an easy way to change resolution with xorg without using gnome? it's a dual monitor thing and the resolution is set for the laptop not the tv [02:35] iamtechno, It doesn't support SSL though does it? [02:36] robert-_-: Let me check. [02:36] DrunkJedi, yea go for but make sure you backup [02:36] thats the output of dbus-monitor --session [02:36] pegon: im doing man htop - apparently htop >> output.txt is outputting all of these weirdly [02:36] aaditya, hold on let me try [02:37] robert-_-: Yes it does support SSL. [02:37] robert-_-: if you have a choice, use sftp (file transfer over ssh) instead of ftp with SSL [02:37] robert-_-: sftp is much easier to use [02:37] is there a way for ubuntu to boot without "enumerating" my USB wireless adapter, which would allow me not to have to remove and put the adapter every time ubuntu boots? [02:37] dotblank - Cheers. I'd backup if I could, if I could get access to my damn files. Is there a way to stop the GUI loading, and then to a file backup from the command line? [02:37] robert-_-: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FileZilla [02:38] *then do a backup [02:38] syntax\: at what rate (roughly) does that spew output? [02:38] X appears to (somewhat) randomly crash on me about once ever two days. Is there something I should be doing to get a better handle on this? Is there a log file that's written somewhere when X crashes that might provide a clue? [02:38] syntax\: and is that just dbus-monitor or dbus-monitor --session? [02:38] syntax\: (iirc it defaults to "system" which probably isn't the failing one) [02:38] pi-meson: what does the crash look like? does it freeze? which chipset? [02:38] DrunkJedi, well what you can do is boot the 9.04 and go into your drive BEFORE installing [02:38] pi-meson: /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old for starters [02:39] live cd = win [02:39] aaditya: I get kicked back to the login screen; nvidia graphics, proprietary driver, jaunty [02:39] mzz: dbus-monitor --session gives me that output [02:39] pi-meson, by some chance you aren't by accident hitting ctrl alt backspace are you? [02:39] mzz: Okay, so it kicked me to login, and i logged back in. Is the .old still valid? [02:40] pi-meson: could be the gdm crashing. as mzz said, let's start with Xorg.0.log... [02:40] pegon: no, I'm pretty sure I'm not [02:40] mzz: it gives it like a loop, displays over and over [02:40] pi-meson, bad xconfig?.. try mv /etc/X11/xorg.con ./backup.xorg and then nvidia-xconfig [02:40] pi-meson: look at the bottom (or pastebin and have us look) [02:40] syntax\: ugh, you must have an older dbus-monitor [02:40] syntax\: no, ignore that [02:40] Fox Canacled Sarah Connor Chronicles [02:40] !ot | Major [02:40] Major: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

At roughly what rate does dbus-monitor --session spew output? [02:42] every second to .5 seconds [02:42] syntax\: (while dbus is using too much cpu, that is) [02:43] plipityploop, check your IM [02:43] syntax\: every second shouldn't cause that much cpu load.

[02:44] mzz: and the usage is 2 - 3 % now for dbus-daemon [02:45] mzz: i think the music applet was the one causing the extreme usage.. [02:45] how do I tell what kind of soundcard I have in linux? [02:45] syntax\: so the problem went away? Do you have any idea what caused that? [02:45] syntax\: that's possible [02:45] I've not had a lot of luck reproducing the problem, except that it seems to happen preferentially when I close windows with alt-F4? [02:45] syntax\: I get one event in dbus-monitor per second from rhythmbox while it is playing [02:46] on conky, cpu usage is fluctuating from 40 - 50 ++ [02:47] firefox and rythmbox are battling for the top cpu process user ff on 11 to 3 % and rythm from 6-3% [02:48] How do I adjust brightness on a desktop?

[02:50] AutoMatriX: i tried adobe reader === rachel is now known as Guest8228 [02:50] thiebaude, Acrobat reader bites on linux [02:50] thiebaude, and does that program let you 'open' and modify a document ? or is this just a ead-only program ? [02:51] thiebaude, try the built in one that comes with GNOME or KDE [02:51] AutoMatriX: i just view pdf's from the internet with it [02:51] AutoMatrix - you want to just copy a page from a PDF to a separate PDF? [02:51] iamtechno: that's a good one too [02:51] or you want to actually edit the PDF document and copy a portion of a page onto itself? === ameier is now known as zer0rez [02:52] AutoMatriX: because I think 1) OpenOffice can edit PDFs if you import them then write back out to PDF. [02:52] 2) if you want to just copy part of a PDF you can open it up, print it, and choose save to file and select PDF instead. [02:52] Anyone using a Flip Video HD with Jaunty?

[02:53] AutoMatriX: you want to put half and half on the same page? [02:53] AutoMatriX: well I'd probably try OpenOffice... otherwise KWord and PDFEdit. [02:53] you want to split it [02:53] hey all. i'm using WinXP and i can't get the umenu.exe to even run once i've opened the .iso file. it says "invalid cd detected". any ideas?

[02:58] google is not being very helpful to me atm [02:59] most mondern machines have some F key you can use to get to a 'boot' menu to pick what device to boot from [02:59] and another question : is there a way to convert my old windows/coreldraw .cdr files into some managable thing in Linux ? [02:59] how can i manually install nvida gfx drivers, fx5500 in particular, i updated from 8.10 to 9.04 and system -> administration -> hardware drivers is empty.. [02:59] syntax\, have no fear for it is easy... [03:00] Bassmasta - you cant just boot from a harddrive containing an .iso file... you'd need to extract the iso file at a minimum and make the drive bootable. [03:00] syntax\: thats odd.. the hardware-drivers tool found teh nvidia driver for my 5500.. but it was a clean install [03:00] Bassmasta - I'd recommend getting a livecd and burning it to disk. :) [03:00] dotblank: what should i do? and also compiz is not working anymore :( [03:01] !find nvidia [03:01] Found: nvidia-173-modaliases, nvidia-180-modaliases, nvidia-71-modaliases, nvidia-96-modaliases, nvidia-common (and 17 others) [03:01] mindrape - ok. i'll just do that then. thanks! [03:01] Bassmasta - if you want to use a version of linux that can boot from a USB device try pendrivelinux.

[03:01] syntax\, dont worry. the geforce fx 5500 is only supported by the 173.14.x series of nvidia drivers.. installing those nvidia drivers from synaptic will solve your problem [03:01] i wonnder what nvidia drivers for the 5500 - Im pretty sure its NOT the nvida-180 because my 2 nvidia box's use different cards and different drivbers.

[03:02] unetbootin is really nice [03:02] finally figured out that the reason fusesmb doesn't work in jaunty is that the fuse module itself is missing. What deb is still missing?

[03:04] whats the name of the ubuntu default pdf viewer? [03:04] Dr_Willis: I have had good luck with it in the past. Couldn't figure out this problem til just now. Need to get the fuse module and arrange to install it. [03:04] syntax\: i'd start by making sure no version of nvidia-glx-BLAH is installed and just go from there... [03:04] thiebaude1: evince [03:04] thanks Gnea [03:04] *gasp* a linux user without a shell [03:04] cheers [03:04] th0r: whats the package name - seems odd i can install fusesmb and it dosent grab that pacakge also.. sounds like a bug report time! [03:04] Anyone using a Flip Video HD with Jaunty? [03:04] dotblank: im back at home now [03:05] LinuxGuy2009: nvidia works fine here [03:05] Dr_Willis: my thoughts exactly. I assumed fuse was present when fusesmb installed. Google seems to indicate this is a known problem [03:05] LinuxGuy2009: which card do you have? [03:05] Dang i wonder whats up with my system then. [03:05] 8300 onboard [03:06] LinuxGuy2009: and where did you install the gfx driver from? the repository or straight from nvidia.com? [03:06] nvidia.com [03:06] ah, that's the problem [03:06] th0r: somthing seems odd. :) sshfs (which uses fuse) does work.. but fusesmb dont.. let me try it again [03:06] Dr_Willis: here is a url indicating a patch for 7.10...but I wouldn't try to install that patch on 9.04 [03:06] you.. can't use it from nvidia.com, you have to install it from the repository and do it the ubuntu-way, otherwise problems occur [03:06] hi pegon [03:07] ok Ill restore my fresh backup and try that.Ill see what happens.Thank you. [03:07] LinuxGuy2009: so you'll need to uninstall what you've installed from nvidia.com [03:07] How do I fix this? "apt-get install lighttpd" returns Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com feisty/main libgamin0 0.1.8-1ubuntu3 [03:07] hey plipityploop [03:07] LinuxGuy2009: cool, good luck [03:07] 404 Not Found [03:07] pegon: my pc froze [03:07] ahhh okay [03:08] pegon i have to hard restart - press reset button. sorry [03:08] th0r: yea ive had some bug reports out on fusesmb for the last 2 releses or so.. it has been problematic under several different disrtos... Its working on 2 of my machines now at least. :) [03:08] plipityploop, its np [03:08] pegon can i pm u? [03:08] plipityploop, yeah [03:08] th0r: it dident work on another one the other day.. but i will try it again tomorrow [03:10] cylex, you still there? [03:10] Have the feisty updates been removed on us.archive.ubuntu.com ? [03:10] Dr_Willis: is the fuse module loaded (lsmod) [03:11] mikejet: As far as I know yes [03:11] th0r: it is on the 2 machines that are working. the machine i had befor with smbfuse not working WAS using the ssh fuse stuff.. so im pretty sure the module was loaded.. buti will check it tomorrow [03:11] mikejet: I think Feisty has been end-of-lifed (EOL) [03:12] Dr_Willis: sure would like to know where the fuse module came from...what deb needs to be loaded [03:12] th0r: odd.. fusesmb IS working here.. and lsmod shows NO fuse module loaded... :) [03:12] anyone having issues with the gutsy repositories? they seem to be down [03:13] ktulu-: that makes sense, gutsy is no longer supported [03:13] did this happen recently? [03:13] Question: How do I check that I'm running OpenGL 3.0? My video card can handle 3.0 and I want to use it but glxinfo reports 2.1 [03:13] ktulu-: Gutsy's EOL was April 18th [03:14] ktulu: that's been about a month now [03:14] Dr_Willis: do you know how gnome is mapping the network? I know I can view the network in gnome, but I am trying to get xfce up and running [03:14] well today is exactly a month since then... i guess they gave a month leeway [03:14] Ugh. I really can't reinstall the whole server this week. [03:15] can anyone help with xubuntu 7.10?? [03:15] I am a new Ubuntu user who is trying to get my burner to work but am having issues. Can anyone help me? [03:15] ktulu-: you should be able to upgrade to 8.04 [03:15] th0r: gnome 'browses' the window snetworks.. it dosent actually mount them (i think) one reason i perfer fusesmb [03:15] gamepockets, whats going on that you need help with? [03:15] hey lads, I'm looking at adding skype on eeebuntu base. it's not in the standard repositaries.... does anyone know if there is a repository I can add for it? [03:15] How do I add http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ to my list of repos apt-get looks at? (im on feisty) [03:15] gamepockets: as I just said to the other guy 7.10 is no longer supported [03:16] swamptin, try medibuntu [03:16] i can't install any updates or add any packages... [03:16] fresh install [03:16] gamepockets: yes see above [03:16] Dr_Willis: I just checked and the network mountpoint is mounted with fusesmb, so maybe it is working,but not showing anything [03:16] ahhh! [03:16] can someone help me with chipset unknown on eth1 in aircrack-ng? [03:16] gamepockets: why did you just clean install 7.10? [03:17] ii have 9.04 [03:17] mikejet: try adding it in to System->Admin->Software Sources [03:17] th0r: you did edit the users .smb/fusesmb.conf file? [03:17] i dont know [03:17] ive been on it for past 10 days [03:17] does anyone know why a burner would be acknowledged as a burner but then it says "no medium present" when there is a disk inserted? [03:17] installing everythin in the planet [03:17] gamepockets: put 8.04 the long term support, or 8.10, or 9.04 on. and you can probably upgrade 7.10 to 8.04 [03:18] Dr_Willis: yes, got my username and password in it. As a matter of fact, I got my old fusesmb.conf file from my old webpage [03:18] i direcly had 9.04 installed on my computer [03:18] that too i had windows [03:18] and i install on my harddrive by mistake [03:18] th0r: be sure you have the permissions right. :) also fusesmb can run in a debug mode. [03:18] ktulu-: leeway well 7.10 was one of the best releases, if not the best [03:18] i have a mac g3 and need something stable, have tried 8.04+ with bad results.. [03:18] mikejet, add it into third party software [03:19] yeah, it's been good [03:19] can someone IM me [03:19] help me [03:19] please [03:19] i would be so happy [03:19] & thankful [03:19] dflpridesbabyboy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:19] can someone help me with chipset unknown on eth1 in aircrack-ng? [03:19] heard of people downgrading from their newer versions so i didn't really feel the urge to upgrade [03:19] Question: How do I check that I'm running OpenGL 3.0? My video card can handle 3.0 and I want to use it but glxinfo reports 2.1 [03:19] ktulu-: 8.04 and all that pulse nonsense and it's LTS hummm. in a way 7.10 should have been the LTS [03:19] ktulu-: puleaudio above [03:19] Dr_Willis: just doublechecked....fusesmb.conf is 600, as is fusesmb.cache [03:20] how do I find how much space is left on a HD via CLI? SSH'd into a system that either has a dying HD...or is out of space [03:20] can u still get apps for 7.10? [03:20] Bob_Dole: use "df" [03:20] nope [03:20] Bob_Dole, try du and fiddle with the options [03:20] repos have been taken offline apparently [03:20] gamepockets: if you install yourself from outside the repos sure you can, however now really you should upgrade to at least 8.04.2 [03:21] great.. all i need is mp3 support and an ftp client.. [03:21] Bob_Dole: df -h (this gives human readable output) [03:21] Oh, what fun /dev/sdb1 9467168 9037684 0 100% / [03:21] game, just upgrade to the latest... sudo update-manager -d [03:21] I am new to Ubuntu and the whole linux world and have tried several places like this for assistance but have been unsuccessful at getting any help. Does anyone know what avenues would be helpful in some problem solving of ubuntu when this avenue I guess is not the most helpful route? [03:21] gamepockets, i meant you [03:21] firefly2442, Yeah I didn't think of that. Good reply. [03:22] the HD is full...looks like I have some work to do @.@ [03:22] tried to update to the next up but got a calculate error... [03:22] Bob_Dole, If you can afford the down time, you might just do a clean wipe... [03:22] th0r: I use 'fusesmb /home/username/Network (for example) and check who 'owns' the Mountpoint you just used fusesmb on. when i was having issue befor. it was always owned by root.. Its working now.. and owned by my user. [03:23] !FloodBot3 [03:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about FloodBot3 [03:23] Question: How do I check that I'm running OpenGL 3.0? My video card can handle 3.0 and I want to use it but glxinfo reports 2.1 [03:23] Bob_Dole: the disk usage analyzer in Applications -> Accessories might help you figure out where the big files are [03:23] I am new to Ubuntu and the whole linux world and have tried several places like this for assistance but have been unsuccessful at getting any help. Does anyone know what avenues would be helpful in some problem solving of ubuntu when this avenue I guess is not the most helpful route? [03:23] gouldie: HUH? [03:23] gouldie, You can try linuxquestions.org [03:24] update manager says system is up to date [03:24] * Dr_Willis re-re-rereads gouldie 's question [03:24] gouldie: or the ubuntu forums (ubuntuforums.org) [03:24] what level of difficulty is it to migrate to a larger HD without doing a new install? I got a lot of things done to that system I don't remember how to do. [03:24] Dr_Willis: it is owned right now by me:me. But I chown'ed it just before mounting it to me:fuse [03:24] I just am trying to get my burner to work and it is not working === Butcher is now known as ShazbotMcNasty [03:24] th0r: Hmm.. I dident think the owner/permissions of a mountpoint 'befor' you mounted somthing to it.. mattered at all. :) [03:24] firefly, i have tried that with no success. Other options? [03:25] Dr_Willis: but I am using /media/network. Maybe I will move it back to ~/Network (which was my original setup) [03:25] lolwow [03:25] th0r: yea. I fine ~/Network more logical :) [03:25] gouldie: hmm, dunno sorry, sometimes the forums can be a little hit and miss when it comes to good responses [03:25] Bob_Dole, From what I remember just plug and play. Just be sure set it up to automount you're new hdd. If you want it like that. [03:25] For some reason - my dvd drive doesn't work - the light turns on on startup - but about five seconds after startup it just locks up [03:26] HAX0R i sent you a text file can you please read it & help em [03:26] Iamtechno it has a 750GigiByte(not gibi) SATA drive in it, but it boots from a 10GB IDE drive. [03:26] gouldie: did our drive work before you installed linux? [03:26] Lately my system has been freezing randomly and I am not sure how to go about debugging what causes it [03:26] Dr_willis have you ever heard of a burner (in this case 2 of them) being acknowledged as burners but when you enter a blank cd, it says "no medium present" [03:26] Bob_Dole, Is your SATA drive in a RAID at all? [03:27] nick_ it did. I was running Xp and was kinda apprehensive to the whole "linux world" [03:27] but have been delightfully surprised [03:27] any ideas why my dvd drive fails? [03:27] gouldie: check that the /dev/dvd* and related links are correct perhaps.. or fallback to the command line burner apps and see if they succsuffuly burn. It could be somthing as simple as a messed up link in /dev/ [03:27] I've tried two different drives - they both fail. [03:27] Dr_Willis: change the mountpoint, fusesmb mounts without complaint, but still nothing there [03:27] iamtechno: No. But it is NTFS, and not ext3. No idea why, it never had windows on it. [03:27] can anyone help me out setting up ubu correctly? I've royally fucked up all day. :( [03:27] What is a 'Xapian index'? [03:28] dr_willis i am a newbie to all this, can you break that down for me a little? [03:28] gouldie: do you have two cdrom drives in your system> [03:28] th0r: try the 'debug' optiuon to see if it says anything.. Now ya know why i find fusesmb a little flakey [03:28] anyone in here know about chipset driver unknow [03:28] is there a way to remove a copy of ubu from my hd? [03:28] unknown [03:28] I have two os's loaded some how.. [03:28] nick_ yes, and i tried to hook up an external burner and it was unsuccessful as well. [03:28] I have formatted an external harddrive with mkfs.ext3 [03:28] & how to fix that error [03:28] Bob_Dole, Then if you have and extra SATA slot open, just add it in. As far as the filesystem goes its user preference [03:28] hey everyone there is a wheelchair icon in the gnome system tray that I would like to remove does anyone know how I would go about removing it [03:28] gouldie: the burners have /dev/XXX names.. those names are just nicely named links. if they are incorrect some apps get confusd [03:28] Dr_Willis: yeah....but it is worth it. I consider linux my geek escape...wouldn't want it if it was as easy as vista [03:28] gouldie: ls -l /dev/dvdrw [03:28] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2009-05-15 12:54 /dev/dvdrw -> sr0 [03:28] but now whenever I create file there it always ask for password [03:28] hello friends I am runing Xvesa as X server. I would like to know if there is any configuration file ( like /etc/X11/xorg.conf for Xorg ) that allows me to indicate a driver I want the X thanks! [03:28] navatwo, you can just wipe the partition that has the one you don't want [03:28] is there a way to disable hat? [03:29] dr_willis [03:29] tardy: mind walking me through it? [03:29] fuzzybunny69y, right click on the menu and edit menus [03:29] I have GParted open [03:29] dr_willis, how do i find those names, in the terminal or where? [03:29] I'm on the Try Ubuntu thing off my disc [03:29] th0r: trust me i beat and hacked and slapped that stuff around and eventually gave up.. it would work fine on one box.. then not another.. then it would fail one day.. then work the next.. :) at least now it seems to be working fo r me. [03:29] Dr_Willis: I think gouldie is not picking the correct drive when he loads media [03:29] I know I'm asking a lot. [03:29] navatwo, I am not really knowledgeable enough to provide a good walkthrough [03:29] Iamtechno: so I could use acronis, backup the Ubuntu 8.04 install, then just copy that to a new SATA/IDE drive and expand it and expect it to work? [03:30] th0r: look in /dev/ there should be some 'dvd' and 'dvdrw' files those are links to the real device. [03:30] tardy: thanks for admitting that. Rather than throwing me a loop. :) [03:30] iamtechno, it seems to be the icon for the Universal Access Preferences but none of the features are enabled so I am not sure why it is there === matiu is now known as Guest18968 [03:30] oops wrong nick :) teach ME to have 2 conversations going at same time [03:30] gouldie: what program are you using? nautilus [03:30] gouldie: look in /dev/ there should be some 'dvd' and 'dvdrw' files those are links to the real device. [03:30] nick_ tried using several of them but now k3b [03:30] Bob_Dole, I have no clue on that. I have never done it that way. [03:31] dr_willis, let me check [03:31] fuzzybunny69y, When you edit the menu, just delete it if you have no use for it [03:31] gouldie: this is when its often handier to fall back to the console based tools where you tell them exactly what to do. If you have 2 optical drives., one is /dev/sr0 and the other should be /dev/sr1 :) [03:31] gouldie: what is the goal? burn an iso or add files to a disk [03:31] Dr_Willis: I think I found it. fuse.cache is locked by gvfs,-fuse-daemon, which I think is the gnome network browser [03:32] hola / hi === keram is now known as eut [03:32] hi [03:32] any body have installed poker-network ? [03:32] and what can i do here? [03:32] on ubuntu [03:32] no [03:33] thanks everyone I love you all and your great [03:33] !poker-network [03:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about poker-network [03:33] http://pokersource.info/ [03:33] hmm.. ok [03:33] fuzzybunny69y, Did that help at all? [03:33] fudd: you want to play poker? pokerth is in the Ubuntu repo [03:34] i installed kde on my system, how am i supposed to remove it now? [03:34] nick_ to burn files. My wife and I had a baby recently and we have a ton of pics i am trying to back up [03:34] morningwalker, Are you trying to switch back to GNOME or run CLI? [03:35] dr_willis, so i look under properties on the drive it self, right? [03:35] what should it say? [03:35] iamtechno: switching back to gnome [03:35] gouldie: as a good troubleshooting method. run 'k3b' from a terminal and look at the messages it gives.. it might give a clue whats going on. [03:35] fudd: they have a debian port of the software. that all i can see [03:35] iamtechno, hey no it was in the system tray near the time it was because of some option I had enabled in the keyboard preferences thanks for your help anyway though [03:35] Hello, guys. I'm wondering if anyone here knows programming, specifically with Python, but only to ask a few questions about how hard it really is. It's because I want to get into programming, but I want to know what Im getting into exactly [03:35] gouldie: im not even clear on what the actual 'problem' you are having is. [03:35] Tasem: Try #python [03:35] O: Oh, thank you [03:36] gouldie: k3b has some settings menus to configure the devices to be using. if it fails to auto-detect them right. [03:36] Ok Im back after restoring a fresh install backup of 9.04 and installed the nvidia GLX drivers that ubuntu recomends.Not sure yet if my gaming freezes are gone, however this driver doesnt seem to like my handbrake installation.The handbrake window doesnt load completely and freezes the system.Any takers? [03:36] dr_willis I have a burner that acknowledges that it is a burner but when i insert a cd or try to burn it says, no medium present [03:36] fuzzybunny69y, You're welcome. Glad you figured it out. I thought it was in your menu like when you click apps [03:36] i found a backup of the gutsy repos at http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ [03:36] !handbrake [03:36] handbrake is a an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows. - http://handbrake.fr [03:36] iv been running the latest ubuntu with out knowing it [03:36] LOL [03:37] until i tried to go to vista i didnt know [03:37] gouldie: put disk in.. then run k3b? :) [03:37] i was like why cant i install this [03:37] LinuxGuy2009, If you're comfortable on the CLI try mencoder [03:37] Dr_Willis: i think he is burning to disk 1 with a disk in drive 2 [03:38] nick_schembri: :) whats why i suggested checking out the k3b settings [03:38] gouldie: put a blank disk in both drives? :) [03:38] well handbrake works if i use the nvidia.com drivers.It just doesnt like the 180.44 that ubuntu wants to use.wierd [03:38] I have just formatted an external hard disk using this command: [03:38] $ sudo mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdc1 [03:38] dr-willis, already there [03:38] However, once this is done, whenever I want to create a directory or file in this hard disk, it always ask for password (i.e. permission requirement). [03:38] Is there a way I can disable that? [03:38] foolishbr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:39] hey... I just upgraded to jaunty [03:39] Dr_Willis: I think you have this one. I do not run k3b. [03:39] !ubuntu offtopic [03:39] and now...sometimes...my screen freezes [03:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu offtopic [03:39] I can move the pointer around fine [03:39] whats the offtopic chan [03:39] but I can't click anything [03:39] what do I do? [03:39] leachim6: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:39] how can i remove kde, i already have gnomne installed [03:40] gouldie: well its about my bed time. so im not sure if i can be much more help other then to suggest seeing what k3b says from a termianl window if you run it from there. [03:40] Night all. [03:40] What is a 'Xapian index'? [03:40] gouldie: where do you stand? [03:41] bullgard4: Google? http://www.xapian.org/ [03:41] guys my digital camera records videos that are extreamly large, is there a way i can make them smaller without losing to much quality? [03:42] hi [03:42] is there a channel for the netbook remix? [03:42] does anybody know where can i delete shortcuts that gnome-do saves? [03:42] navetz_: you could encode them into a different format, xvid perhaps? [03:42] !remix [03:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about remix [03:42] !ubuntu-remix [03:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu-remix [03:42] !hello [03:42] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [03:43] navetz_: what format are the videos in now? [03:43] firefly2442: Hehe, the web page that you recommended does not even mention that term. [03:43] gouldie: what up [03:43] I'm running into an issue where my .bash_profile is not being sourced at login. Anyone know why this might be happening? [03:43] anyone know easy free software to set up a p2p xp to ubuntu vpn? [03:43] the ubuntu version set up for the netbook computers [03:43] firefly2442: they are mpg's [03:43] firefly2442: is xvid the smallest format? [03:44] firefly2442: and what tool would be good for conversion? I would like something that has a command line so I can just write a script to do it. [03:44] Holas [03:44] navetz_: mplayer or vlc [03:44] zedster: you can use openvpn [03:44] -.- [03:44] * zedster facepalm === |dthacker| is now known as dthacker [03:44] bullgard4: hmm, dunno, is this more helpful? http://www.enricozini.org/2007/debtags/apt-xapian-index.html [03:45] is there a general cron config file? cron is emailing me @ my FQDN, i would expect it to email it to root@hostname [03:45] navetz_: I like avidemux, I think it has a batch mode but I've never tried it [03:45] Does anybody know how to setup mocp to auto-update folders with new songs? [03:45] navetz_: ffmpeg or some other commandline tool might be better for you [03:46] zedster: vlc for me [03:46] firefly2442: ah okay i have used ffmpeg before, what format do you reccommend encoding in? [03:46] nick_schembri: if he wants cmd line mplayer has more options [03:46] I use vlc for editing files and streaming at the office, but thats one at a time [03:46] i have a desktop ubuntu running on my vps [03:46] zedster: oops. my bad :) [03:46] how do i enable internet access for this desktop ubuntu [03:47] tjz: ??? [03:47] tjz: explain [03:47] \ [03:47] navetz_: probably mkv or xvid, everyone has their own preference though [03:47] how can I source a file when X starts? [03:47] put it in your .xinitrc [03:47] there is no internet connection for my desktop ubuntu which i install on my vps.. [03:48] firefly2442: alright thanks [03:48] tjz: in the terminal, run ifconfig [03:48] storbeck, if I don't have a ~/.xinitrc is it ok to just create it?

A quick question, whats the difference between Ubuntu, and Xubuntu ? I read that Kubuntu is basicly Ubuntu w/ KDE.. but couldnt find a quick answer to identify the difference [03:57] Bold`: xubuntu uses xfce ( a different window manager) [03:58] firefly2442, what is the window manager with ubuntu ? [03:58] firefly2442, Bold`: xfce is a different desktop environment, now just a window manager. Regular ubuntu uses gnome [03:58] *not just [03:58] oh [03:58] you have to pay for ssh [03:58] Bold`: lstarnes: ahh thanks for the clarification, sorry [03:58] hello [03:58] Ubuntu= Gnome, Kubunto= KDE, Xubunto= XFCE... and rest are all the same.. right ? [03:59] does anyone know about gvfs? [03:59] usser: sorry my net connection is really bad here [03:59] !gvfs [03:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about gvfs [03:59] test [03:59] boingba, are you having a problem or something? gvfs is how gnome integrates multiple file system types into Nautilus, the file manager [03:59] test failed! [03:59] wow [03:59] rdw200169, can i kill it? [04:00] thank you firefly2442 & lstarnes .. that was fine :) [04:00] boingba, why do you want to? [04:00] boingba, are you having mounting problems or something? [04:00] boingba, if you are, there is a better way to resolve it [04:00] Anyone know what would make CUPS give "403 forbidden" on the web interface? [04:00] rdw200169, im trying to make ubuntu lean and mean [04:00] http://localhost:631 [04:00] go to "admin" [04:01] rdw200169, i am trimming processes which i do not need. [04:01] Bold`: unless your machine is very small/slow, there's probably no reason to favor xubuntu [04:01] rdw200169, i am trimming processes which i do not need so i could get the best performance [04:01] boingba, honestly, i wouldn't do that. its just way to useful for me. if you kill gvfs, you lose all the functionality of nautilus [04:01] boingba, if that is even possible [04:01] hay friend ... [04:01] does ubuntu work good with other window managers? [04:01] chetnick: yes [04:01] iam new be ... ubuntu ... [04:01] anyone know why my keyboard is mismatch when i vnc to my remote ubuntu desktop? [04:01] rdw200169, ohhhh, so like the automount thing that nautilus does? [04:01] ican instal ... xampp ... [04:02] boingba, if you're trying to improve performance, it would be better to research what kind of tweaks you can perform in gconf, or use a different gui type thing, like xfce [04:02] boingba, yes. [04:02] What is the name of the non 3g NTFS driver that uses the actual MS ntfs.sys file? [04:02] lstarnes: no need to change anything, just install other window manager and change session? [04:02] losher, well.. the machine is fine.. 2.33 Due CPU, 4 GB RAM w/ 2 HDD 250 G each, blah blah... etc [04:02] chetnick: yes [04:02] !apache |riwe [04:02] CUPS admin used to work fine for me... now it's broken! [04:02] riwe: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [04:02] rdw200169, hmmm i dont need any of that. i am using openbox [04:02] lstarnes: thanks. [04:02] Bold`: I'd go with regular Ubuntu [04:02] riwe, use that instead [04:02] rdw200169, i literally see a black screen on startup :) [04:02] Bold`: I'd go with regular Ubuntu in that case... [04:02] Please, somebody check if your cups gives a 403. [04:03] rdw200169, any cluse how i can prevent gvfs from loading? [04:03] http://localhost:631/admin [04:03] *clues [04:03] losher, may I ask why not Kubuntu ? :) do you prefere Gnome ?? [04:03] hello goodmorning. ubuntu 9.04 hanged..so i had to press 5 seconds the power so that it will turn off..what happen?why hanged?fresh install of ubuntu 9.04...should i go to ubuntu 10.04?which is more stable? [04:03] boingba, then using server version would be slim enough... [04:03] why does the same programm run faster in Debian than Ubuntu? [04:04] I use widget layer (compiz) with screenlet.py, when I start a gnome session, the widget layer is on. Is there a way to set the widget to off when a gnome session is started? [04:04] gdfs what program? [04:04] when i switch from gnoe to kde no hang now [04:04] Bold`: Actually I personally don't use either, but I think gnome has more users, & so better support... [04:04] losher: for a long time (and possibly now) kde had more users [04:04] nomasteryoda, thats too slim.. i still need x to run 3d games... [04:05] losher, thanks for clarifying.. ! :) [04:05] lstartnes: I thought kde was 'going away'.... [04:05] losher: what do you mean by that? [04:05] boingba, then add what you need .. say fluxbox or openbox ... x would install as dependency [04:05] Does NOBODY have the time to check CUPS? [04:05] http://localhost:631/admin [04:05] hey all...i'm new to ubuntu (i've messed with linux in the past) and am having troubles enabling visual effects and compiz, I know this probably gets annoying, but could anyone spare 5 min and help me? I've searched on the forums a ton! [04:06] boingba, and i would bet gvfs would not be there... with fluxbox [04:06] DanaG, you want us to look at your CUPS or something? [04:06] nomasteryoda: hmmmmm... interesting.... [04:06] No, check your own, so I can see if it's just me. [04:06] Hi!, how can i install kde4 into jaunty? [04:06] I'm getting 403. [04:06] nomasteryoda, boingba gvfs is gnome-specific [04:06] !kde > Drknezz [04:06] Drknezz, please see my private message [04:06] sebumd: !compiz [04:06] !compiz [04:06] Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz-fusion [04:06] !compiz [04:06] rdw200169, right... if he started with just server version, then added fluxbox... gnome would not be on the box [04:07] nomasteryoda, i could remove gnome... but then i would not have gdm [04:07] I lost the password that went with this nick, any idea what to do? [04:07] abalone: join #freenode and ask about it there [04:07] ok [04:07] right... don't really need gdm .. .you can startx with xinit scripts [04:07] nomasteryoda, i noticed that killing gdm as a process - turns my screen bloacker [04:07] lol [04:07] *blacker [04:08] hehehe [04:08] that too [04:08] nomasteryoda, thanks for the info. that is interesting [04:08] lstartnes: there were licensing issues with older versions of Qt that made it less popular with people who cared about such things. I think that's improved now though. ref the kde page on wilkipedia [04:08] nomasteryoda, can i pm u about this>? === ripps_ is now known as ripps [04:09] boingba, sure [04:09] i totally want to do away with gnome- and kde [04:09] DanaG: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/servers/120309-cups-403-forbidden-error.html ? [04:09] I need some help with reporting a problem with ubuntu 9.04 2-6.28-11-generic. The system hangs so I'm not able to use ubuntu-bug. I cannot ssh to the desktop when the console is hung. The system work fine with ubuntu 9.04 2.6.24-21-generic. [04:09] does enabling visual effects (i.e. compiz) slow down or speed up the system? i.e. if visual effects are switched off, does any window rendering get done via the GPU? [04:09] losher: I don't think those licensing issues are as much of a problem now. Qt has been available under the GPL for a long time, but commercial licenses were avilable for use in proprietary programs. I think Qt might be available under the LGPL now [04:09] boingba: you can, but you'll need to be pretty nifty with the cli [04:10] losher, i am medium beginner - if there is such a word [04:10] lstartnes: Agreed. Any authoritative sources for the number of gnome vs kde users? [04:11] boingba: :-). So what wm are you planning to run? [04:11] the most stable version of Ubuntu is 8.04.2 [04:11] losher: I;m not sure [04:11] *I'm [04:11] DanaG: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=736489 [04:11] lstartnes: no matter. It may be that no-one really knows... [04:11] losher nomasteryoda suggests xdm [04:12] losher: it would be hard to measure [04:12] gdfs: Jaunty is out. 9.04 is the most current stable build. [04:12] #osx86scene [04:12] losher im going to install xdm then purge gnome-desktop [04:12] lstartnes: as I understand it, we aren't even sure how may linux users are out there... [04:12] what should the permissions within /etc/cups be? [04:12] for me, they're mostly root:root. [04:12] losher, we are increasing [04:14] can anyone give me any hints as to why my xfs filesystem won't grow, I'm using gparted. I looked up xfs and found out it is limited to 16tb under 32bit systems, so I reinstalled the ubuntu server from 8 32bit to 9 64bit. so I know it's not because of my file limitation [04:16] boingba: fwiw, I mv /usr/bin/nautilus to nautilus.bak and same with /usr/sbin/gdm. Then I startx and run fvwm. No 'desktop' as such, just the wm. For someone who isn't an old fart like me, I'd say you're probably better off with the standard gnome or kde environment, so people can support you if you run into problems. [04:17] for older hardware,8.04.2 is much moe suitable [04:17] How can I recover my Win emtity on an update/reinstall of Grub? [04:17] losher, thanks just saw ur msg, i am currently running openbox [04:17] Lately my system has been freezing randomly and I am not sure how to go about debugging what causes it, any suggestions? [04:17] losher but i actually prefer icewm [04:18] scribawf, just needs the windows lines in menu.lst [04:18] Titan890; ty ok will do just that [04:18] boingba: well, no reason not to go with either of them, except that support will be a bit harder to come by [04:18] scribawf i have those lines for the menu.list file if you want them [04:19] Jeco; yes that certainly would be helpful [04:20] losher its ok, i have triple boot and i am now in the mood for further experimentation [04:20] boingba: good for you! [04:20] losher it would be nice to just startx and proceed with a terminal [04:21] can anyone give me any hints as to why my xfs filesystem won't grow, I'm using gparted. I looked up xfs and found out it is limited to 16tb under 32bit systems, so I reinstalled the ubuntu server from 8 32bit to 9 64bit. so I know it's not because of my file limitation === chuggs is now known as genfool_ [04:21] does anyone know how to configure awstats to read the logs from an iis server? [04:21] boingba: I know what you mean. When I look at all the stuff gnome runs in the background, it seems really heavyweight for what you get [04:22] i'm tracing now on the web tryin' much ... but hmpf no way... === bogus is now known as Guest33520 === Guest33520 is now known as coz_ [04:23] losher, i hate to say this, and i know its comparing apples to oranges - but windows xp is pretty responsive. dont want to start a flamewar here. just my experience [04:23] Howdy people. I'm doing a fresh install of ubuntu. I was a linux hard user a long time ago, but have never used it agin since. I have a doubt: what's the best file system to use nowadays? [04:24] it's my personal computer, a laptop, 320gb hd 5400 rpm, core 2 duo, 4 gb, etc [04:24] since i upgraded to Jaunty, i am having SLOW VIDEO (youtube, mplayer, everything...) When I watch the video at its normal size, it's faster. If I full-screen it, it's slow. I suspect that perhaps X is no longer using the 'xv' driver or using a poorly-chosen video driver. any ideas? [04:24] boingba, well are you running ubuntu 9.04? [04:24] coz_, ok here goes [04:25] @ brunotorres ext3? [04:25] ptc, did you install the ubuntu-restricted-extras? [04:25] ptc: guessing, does mplayer -vo xv vid.avi exhibit that behavior? or does it whine that it can't use xv [04:25] * boingba puts a stop to argument before it happens ... end [04:25] ptc, and did you set mplayer up in preferences [04:25] boingba, no big explanation necessary just are you trying ubuntu 9.04 ? :) [04:25] boingba: I can't say I find any of them are unresponsive, I'm run 8.04 on a quad core, cpu isn't an issue. I just like a clean machine [04:26] f31n what about xfs, jfs and ext4? [04:26] isn't ext4 still having bugs? [04:26] Bob_Dole Yes. [04:27] boingba: 9.04 did feel a bit sluggish to me compared to 8.04 I have to say [04:27] I'm waiting for ZFS to be supported. [04:27] brunotorres: ext3 is solid and usually performs acceptably. ext4 is still very new, so you may not want to trust your /home to it just yet. I have no experience with xfs and jfs. [04:27] Will a grep serach entiredirectorys including sub directorys? [04:27] Newbuntu: if you pass it -r it will [04:27] mzz ty [04:28] hii [04:28] dsabecky: supported in what? [04:28] losher, are you using any desktop environment? [04:28] hey fellas. If i want to change the file that Evolution calls when it plays a sound on new messages [04:28] thanks mzz and f31n [04:28] brunotorres: so if you're installing 9.04 right now one option would be using ext3 for /home and ext4 for everything else, then converting /home to ext4 at some point in the future (this can be done in-place) [04:28] what directory would I start looking in? [04:28] XFS is a pretty good filesystem, :) [04:28] cast|lir In the Ubuntu install. Doing it by hand is beyond too much work. [04:28] MrPockets, lol [04:28] why ubuntu 8.x is supported till 2011 while 9.x is only till 2010 ? [04:29] Bold`: LTS [04:29] !lts | Bold` [04:29] Bold`: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [04:29] cast|lir: http://pastie.org/482375 [04:29] losher im going to do nomasteryoda's instructions on how to start ubuntu without gdm - direct to a window manager [04:29] Titan8990, 'heh right? [04:29] cast|lir: xv seems to be working fine [04:29] mzz so if i want to search from my current dir i would "grep x -r" x beening the quiery [04:29] boingba: no desktop, just fvwm. I do most of my stuff in a terminal window (old fashioned)... [04:29] dsabecky: unlikely ZFS will go into Linux, btrfs is where efforts are being directed as i gather [04:29] being* [04:29] coz_: no, i didn't. should i? [04:30] Does anyone know why its not possible to mount an SMB filesystem? [04:30] fvwm is even lighter... [04:30] ubottu, kernel and apps (after update) are the same ? [04:30] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:30] and good and cool [04:30] losher, my kind of man [04:30] Newbuntu: you have to include "." after the query. [04:30] I am confused.. not sure what to install [04:30] ptc, yes sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras and then when that is done let me know when you open mplayer and right click on the main window go to preferences [04:30] boingba: I'm just old... [04:30] cast|lir: I don't see why it won't. Oracle bought Sun, and since Orable has a Linux based OS, they will more than likely port it. [04:30] Newbuntu: "grep -r blah .". Without the "." it will just sit there waiting for input on stdin. [04:30] losher, im 27 if its any consolation [04:30] :) [04:30] coz_: fwiw, i'm on Kubuntu but trying to switch to Ubuntu [04:30] mzz, kernel and apps (after update) are the same ? [04:31] mzz ok [04:31] coz_: also, kubuntu-restricted-extras is installed [04:31] Bold`: I don't understand the question. [04:31] ptc, you can also install smplayer and get a good frontend to mplayer [04:31] ptc, oh ok [04:31] nomasteryoda: any better than gmplayer? [04:31] boingba: Also, I don't like giving up screen real estate to panels. Even on 22 inch displays... [04:31] while this is installing, i have another question... [04:31] mzz, 8.x and 9.x after getting the updates are the same then ? I am asking because I am confused and dont know what to install [04:31] losher, me too! i dont have one as of the momeny [04:32] *moment [04:32] imho [04:32] ptc, then open mplayer right click on main window go to preferences === bk is now known as bk|away [04:32] Bold`: err, no [04:32] boingba: They're getting cheaper, but even so, permanently losing the top & bottom of my screen to panels annoys me... [04:32] i have Guifications enabled in pidgin (i'm using it right now). however, this annoying OSD display appears from "indicator-applet" every time a message comes in [04:33] i uninstalled "indicator-applet" yet it's still appearing [04:33] Bold`: the versions of various packages in 8.04 is considerably older. They're only updated to fix security issues, I think. [04:33] any ideas how to permanently disable it? [04:33] can someone suggest a torrent client, other than azureus, which will support ssl, and scheduling torrents by group, or label etc. ? [04:33] coz_: i'm in Preferences [04:33] dsabecky: well, unless ZFS is relicenced inder the GPLv2 it's unlikely :) you're right, oracle might. or oracle might try to leverage opensolaris to it's advantage - which may mean keeping it under the CDDL [04:34] coz_: it's using xv === doug_ is now known as dougmmms [04:34] ok thanks guys [04:34] cheers [04:34] ptc, ok Video tab make sure xv X11/Xv is chosen [04:34] ptc, then move over to the Codecs & demuxer tab [04:34] Bold`: For a first timer, I think 8.04 is a good choice [04:34] ptc: it is. the problem is not just with mplayer. it's with any videl [04:34] losher, the only real use i have of panels is the date and time. other than that nothing [04:34] video* [04:34] coz_: * [04:35] Anyone know why I'd be able to get on a wireless network, but wifi-radar isn't working? There was a hiccup during the ndiswrapper setup, but I'm not sure how to make this work [04:35] coz_: even playing youtube in flash [04:35] ptc, video codec family = FFmpeg's libavcodec codec family audio codec family = MPEG layer-2, layer-3 === cs278|laptop is now known as cs278 === gotkormano is now known as kormano [04:35] ?DCC SEND "ff???f?e¡®1e¡®¡ãe¡®¡¤e¡®3e¡®?e¡®3e¡®oe¡®?e¡®¡¤e¡®?e¡®?e¡¯€e¡®o" 0 0 0 === bk|away is now known as bk [04:35] boingba: I just open an xclock for that. [04:35] ptc, not sure about that with kde I am on gnome and am having no issues with flash at the moment sorry :) [04:36] coz_: i'm in gnome... no kde involved here [04:37] ptc, ah ok [04:37] with mplayer it's only slow when maximized [04:37] ptc, which video card? [04:37] but youtube and any other video players are all slow [04:37] coz_: it's not a great video card, but it was working fine before. no idea what brand it is even [04:37] generic intel i think [04:38] ptc, in terminal lspci | grep -i vga [04:38] anybody actually had success with nvidia and 9.04? [04:38] phillipsm, i have [04:38] phillipsm, yes I use nvidia here [04:38] i do too [04:38] i was just wondering cuz all i saw was bad stuff in the forums [04:38] anyone have experience with xfs on ubuntu? i'm trying increase the size of my xfs partition. I've already installed the harddrives and it's shown as unpartitioned space [04:38] but it was pretty simple [04:38] Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [04:38] phillipsm, no bad stuff here :) [04:39] haha [04:39] nice [04:39] phillipsm, i icouldnt get my dual monitors to work with the latest driver release. i had to use 173. [04:39] w 2 [04:39] un_dave, which video card? [04:39] phillipsm, it was initially frustrating, but ok in the end. [04:39] coz_, 7300gs i think. [04:39] un_dave, in terminal lspci | grep -i vga [04:39] I am on a HP DV7. ubuntu 9. Sound use to work but now is dead. Tried about a dozen fixes. None worked. The last two thins were install pulseaudio, then added the snd-hda-intel mode= ... to the alsa-base.conf. How do I go about getting my sound back. [04:39] coz_, i think the issue may have been that i actually have 2 of them. [04:40] un_dave, oh [04:40] un_dave, on the same system? [04:40] coz_, i'm not at my pc now. but it's all working now anyway. yep, two in the same system [04:40] un_dave, ok I have no experience with dual cards here [04:41] yeah me neither [04:41] anyone know how to get rid of "indicator applet"? i uninstalled but its still appearing [04:41] coz_, i had planned to use 3 or 4 monitors, but after realising how abismal linux support is for multi monitors, i've ended up just with two [04:41] ptc, i might if i actually knew what you meant by "indicator applet"... [04:41] how can I find the list of F-key options at the beginning of the boot from the official ubuntu live cd (jaunty)? I am trying to help someone else over the internet, and I cannot reboot just for that. [04:42] ptc, do you mean the new notifications? [04:42] Drakeson....google. it man [04:42] coz_: ya... hella annoying when i have guifications running in tandem :) [04:42] ptc, mm let me check [04:43] hah... nevermind. it reinstalled itself as a dependency i think [04:43] ptc, this might do it but no guarantee and you have to restart ehe system after this sudo mv /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Notifications.service /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Notifications.service.disabled [04:43] :-( [04:44] ptc, here is a how to http://www.tipstrs.com/tip/9302/Disable-notifications-in-Ubuntu-Jaunty [04:44] awesome [04:44] thanks coz! you are the man [04:44] i'll bbiab (restart) [04:44] ptc, ok let me know ....oy [04:45] phillipsm: thanks for the really helpful tip, man. it turns out there are too many entries about ubuntu live cd [04:46] How do I install ubuntu on a computer with no cd drive, and has nothing on it at the time. [04:46] can I make a unetbootin usb on this computer and boot it on that one? [04:46] GazFenix: thats what i've done many times.. assuming the other pc will boot a usb device [04:46] yes it will [04:46] GazFenix: are you on a linux box right now, or windows? [04:46] well it has before. [04:46] linux [04:46] ubuntu interpid [04:46] GazFenix: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:47] GazFenix: ok, ymmv, but for some reason, the current linux version of unetbootin, constantly results in a boot error, the windows version works fine [04:47] i used the exact same ISO, under unetbootin in Windows, and it setup perfectly [04:48] hmm [04:48] jamiejack [04:48] I wondered why it wasn't working.. [04:48] granny2008 [04:48] [Ubuntu 9.04] How can I deinstall all Games and associated overhead in order to gain free space on my hard disk? === jamie is now known as Guest91153 [04:48] jamie [04:48] bullgard4: its a games package in synapgic, something like games-gnome.. or something like that [04:49] bullgard4: or you could go through and remove them 1x1 [04:49] raylu: my internet is broken, how to fix ?? ty [04:49] can I use the windows unetbootin under wine? [04:49] with KDE (Konqueror, actually) there's a feature to do a google search just by first doing Alt+F2 (run command) then typing "gg:" -- does gnome have anything like that? [04:49] man [04:49] GazFenix: hmm.. i would say that is highly unlikely [04:49] 9.04 doesn't take orders for crap [04:49] bullgard4, sudo apt-get remove gnome-game gnome-games-data [04:49] change the sounds, and its' all, NO! and keeps playing defaults [04:49] ah [04:49] GazFenix: i don't believe wine can control hardware (thus why you can't use itunes w/ ipods, etc..) [04:49] bullgard4, sorry sudo apt-get remove gnome-games gnome-games-data [04:50] oh yeah [04:50] bullgard4, or open synaptic package manager and hit search and type in gnome-games [04:50] I'll use the other computer then [04:50] bullgard4, then right click each pacakge and click Remove completely [04:50] it runs veesta [04:51] ptc: I think the deskbar applet can do something like that [04:51] GazFenix: thats what i would do.. cuz when i use the windows version... it works perfectly.. w/ 8.04, unetbootin worked fine under linux.. but w/ 8.10, and 9.04.. its never worked right.. ive tried the .deb file, and the .bin file to install.. just doesn't work for me [04:51] IndyGunFreak, coz_ : Thank you for your help. [04:51] when I installed #! before on the same computer I used unetbootin under 8.10 [04:52] but it's not working to great now.. [04:52] hello guys how to adjust the memory?it seems that my pc iss kinda lag when i type in terminal... [04:52] i have 1gb ram though [04:52] i just open firefox and terminal (with irssi [04:52] I haven't tried it yet though, i just instaled unetbootin with the .deb [04:52] jigp: adjust means? [04:52] whew when i type at the terninal its so laggg [04:52] before I just did the normal with no install. [04:53] cast|lir : adjust memory to high priority? [04:53] I am having sound problems on my HP DV7 using Ubuntu 9. Sound use to work, but now is broke. How can I get my sound back. [04:53] what is a good wireless network manager for ubuntu [04:53] when i type like for example: hello.. am done typing with "hello" but t he msg is delayed to appear [04:53] does unetbootin reformat the usb itself, or should I do that beforehand? [04:54] jigp: is ssh involved? Getting that for a local terminal is kinda weird [04:54] yes mzz : but no problem in firefox when i surf [04:54] mzz : ah so its the ssh then [04:55] jigp: that's normal: browsing is much less demanding on latency than ssh is [04:55] mzz : but when i use windows and putty then irssi no problem no lag [04:55] Using the new screen (with the fancy profiles). Anyone have any idea how to remove the "0*$ shell" from the menu? [04:55] mzz : so how to get rid of this? [04:55] (bottom left) [04:55] jigp: that's weird again. How far away (in network terms) is the host you're sshd into? [04:55] mzz : im sshing in america and im in asia [04:56] jigp: does "ping" to that host, or from that host back to the system you're using, show unusually high latency? === rafaelfranca is now known as rafaelfranca_ [04:56] mzz : but then again there is no laggg in windows when i use putty then ssh [04:56] mzz : but here in ubuntu terminal when i type "hello" delayed reply. === rafaelfranca_ is now known as rafaelfranca [04:57] mzz : no problem with ping [04:57] jigp: strange. Tried a different term emulator? Anything unusual about your ssh configuration? [04:57] What does 'ept' stand for in /usr/share/doc/libept0? [04:58] can someone help me with my background settings? for some reason all of the images have no color [04:58] Anyone have any idea how to remove the "0*$ shell" from the bottom left of my screen profile? [04:59] Zombie_Gaz: what does the .screenrc line look like? [04:59] psychic: Switch to another theme. May be it is advisable later to switch back to your old theme. [04:59] mzz : i have to wait for 3 seconds if i remove what ive type like "hello" [05:00] .j #crunchbang [05:00] ah crap [05:00] mzz : i dont have ssh configuration.its a fresh install ubuntu 9.04.using kde [05:00] bullgard4 its all the same [05:00] jigp: I'd try to narrow it down to ubuntu's network setup, ssh or the terminal emulator somehow. [05:00] bullgard4 does fluxbox allow color [05:00] jigp: so perhaps try the same thing outside of X and/or try with a different term emulator. [05:01] cast|lir Er... empty. [05:01] psychic: I cannot help you as you provided not enough information. [05:01] i'm testing Jaunty on my laptop right now, and I'd like to change the position of the libnotify dialog. is there a way to do this? [05:01] jigp: and perhaps compare latencies reported by ping [05:01] ok [05:01] In Ubuntu, if I right click a hard drive and go to properties, it says 170.3 GB used. Under system properties, it says the same disk has 181.0 GiB used. 170.3 GB versus 181.0 GiB. I understand GB and GiB is slightly different but which one is more accurate to look at when trying to gauge disk space remaining? [05:01] I am getting a segmentation error with firefox 3 crashes on gmail and other sites [05:01] not flash related, and I have already tried reinstalling firefox [05:01] AgentHeX: iirc there was a switch in gconf-editor for that [05:01] mzz : what are the emulator terminal ? [05:02] cast|lir I have a .screen-profile directory with a profile file in it. [05:02] can someone help me figure out why ubuntu is crashing? I believe it has to do with a new kernel update [05:02] jigp: you're probably using konsole currently if you use kde. Perhaps try xterm? [05:02] mzz: do you know the path to the switch? this feels a bit like win32's regedit, and i'm totally not familiar. [05:02] AgentHeX: /apps/notification-daemon/popup_location [05:03] Does anyone know what changes were made to sound with the new release? [05:03] AgentHeX: I don't know if there's a proper way to change this (there may very well be) [05:03] i'll admit it's a very neat little widget, but i'd just like to reposition it. === bk is now known as bk|away [05:04] mzz: there is no /apps/notification-daemon, but there is an indicator-applet. all it has is dummy_value [05:04] Sound is no longer working on my laptop after I upgraded... here's a link to a diagnostic program I ran: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=fc42785844d611a75433fc62917e893cfcf6aafe [05:04] can someone suggest a torrent client, other than azureus, which will support ssl, and scheduling torrents by group, or label etc. ? [05:04] i do have /apps/panel/default_setup/applets/indicator_applet, though [05:05] AgentHeX: then this is probably different on ubuntu and I can't tell you what to change (I'm not currently in ubuntu) [05:05] mzz: alright, i see a "position" key in /apps/panel/default_setup/applets/indicator_applet. i changed it, but it seems to be in the same position as before. it was on 4, and i changed to 3. do changes take effecte immediately? [05:07] AgentHeX: I'm pretty sure that's not at all related [05:08] * mzz attempts to check [05:08] mzz : works fine now hehe [05:08] mzz : forr gnome what to use? [05:08] jigp: what did you change? [05:08] mzz : i just type: xterm in the terminal and it works very fast [05:08] AgentHeX: I think that's an applet indicating your keyboard layout [05:09] mzz : i just type in kde terminal "xterm" and it shows xterm a very light terminal [05:09] jigp: so it's konsole? Might want to find some more kde-oriented channel and ask in there if there's some configuration thing you can use to fix this [05:09] the identifier-applet is a little thing in the panel that has a mail icon. i don't know if it's related, but pidgin's plugin is called libnotify [05:09] can someone help me figure out why firefox is crashing in ubuntu with a segmentation fault I don't believe its a hardware issue [05:10] mzz : ok ..are you using gnome? [05:10] mzz : what terminal you use in gnome? [05:10] jigp: not really. I usually use urxvt as a term emulator. [05:10] raptor: when i get seg faults i normally run the offending application in valgrind, though i'm not sure how well that'll work with ff [05:10] jigp: (also known as rxvt-unicode) [05:10] mzz : is that for kde? [05:10] jigp: doesn't depend on either gtk or qt [05:10] that is a good start [05:11] how can I begin to debug the issue? [05:11] raptor: I'd start with gdb here, not valgrind. [05:11] i cant install yum in my ubuntu....what to do?? [05:11] devD: why do you want yum in ubuntu? [05:11] do you guys want a backtrace? [05:11] raptor: (because I'm pessimistic about the number of false positives valgrinding firefox) [05:11] raptor: yes please [05:11] mzz :mzz : what is the command for xterm for copy and paste? ctrl+sfift+c or v is not working [05:12] raptor: i think its necessary to install programs... [05:12] jigp: not sure if there's a keyboard binding, but middlemouse paste should work [05:12] devD: ubuntu does not use yum [05:12] okk [05:12] devD: what are you actually trying to install? [05:12] devD: ubuntu uses apt, dpkg, and synaptic [05:12] Hey, on Jaunty running Gnome, gnome-keyring-daemon doesn't seem to be loading my ssh key automatically ... and other than resort to using login scripts and so forth, I can't seem to get it to launch that fancy gui window asking for my ssh key password on login. Anybody know this one? I checked that the gconf key was enabled, and the key is named id_dsa, so it seems like the daemon should pick it up. [05:12] lstarnes: thnx frnd.. [05:13] devD: apt is accessed with apt-get or aptitude [05:13] mzz : its not working.no mouse configuration.no right click [05:13] gdb firefox 2>&1 | tee gdb-firefox.txt [05:13] is that proper syntax? [05:13] jigp: leftclick drag to selec,t middleclick to paste [05:13] raptor: syntax: yes. Useful: not so much. [05:13] Alternate NTFS driver to 3g? [05:13] raptor: sec [05:14] lstarnes: thnx ..actually i recently switched from windows...these days i was using fedora...today i installed ubuntu through virtualbox.. [05:14] raptor: try "firefox -g" (firefox must not already be running) [05:14] any one know a web cam monitor that works with indicator-applet [05:14] ? [05:15] raptor: alternatively: find its pid and "gdb -p thatpid" [05:15] raptor: then say "c" on the (gdb) prompt, then crash firefox, then "bt" on the prompt, pastebin the result [05:15] not to helpful the first option [05:15] ciao [05:15] ** Message: GetValue variable 1 (1) [05:15] ** Message: GetValue variable 2 (2) [05:15] Segmentation fault [05:15] raptor: no? How did it fail? [05:15] I went to gmail [05:16] raptor: I mean how did "firefox -g" fail? Did you not get the gdb prompt? [05:16] What does 'ept' stand for in /usr/share/doc/libept0? === jay is now known as Guest14142 [05:16] firefox then opened no gdp prompt [05:16] raptor: was it already running? If it was use the second approach to attach [05:17] ps aux | grep firefox and then I killed it all... [05:17] raptor: (this may in fact be easiest anyway, assuming you don't crash on startup) [05:17] let me try the other option as well [05:17] mzz : there is no command for key?what if i dont have mouse? there is no option in /help for copy and paste though [05:17] bullgard4: The library defines a very minimal framework in which many sources of data about Debian packages can be implemented and queried together. [05:18] mzz : xterm is light weight [05:18] how do you check/recover if one of your software raid disks is reporting "inactive" ? [05:18] jigp: I don't know if xterm has a way to paste from the keyboard. I don't use it. [05:18] tecky: Right. And what do the 3 letters 'ept' stand for? [05:19] bullgard4: PT is probably package toolkit. extensible? extra-super-duper?

[05:39] i was trying to find some documentation to explain better how to switch the driver to bcm43xx, but on ubuntu, at least on the wiki, the default driver is the ndis [05:40] i think is bcm43xx [05:40] the name of the project [05:40] ed2ef, i've always found using ndiswrapper was alot simpler than fooling around with the bcm43xx drivers.. [05:40] hi, I am trying to use dolphin in xfce, (xubuntu). It was in xubuntu's add/remove programs list so I installed it. But when I run Dolphin, I get error "could not start process, could not launch klauncher, the name org.kde.klauncher was not provided by any .service files" [05:40] ya, and its possible more stable than the native driver [05:41] but he want to do the monitor mode, and im pretty sure that i read somewhere that ndis wont go that way [05:41] ontop of that with my card (broadcom 4312) the drivers haven't ever worked (though i'm just now trying 8.10) [05:41] i want to fix this problem [05:41] bah, missed raptor. Need to start telling people to include my nick. [05:41] everything works in airmon-ng [05:41] when i do airmon-ng start eth1 [05:42] whole list pops up with saying driver WL monitor mode chipset unknown [05:42] ive been trying to fix this since about 10 days [05:42] dylan_: try installing klauncher, maybe? [05:42] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=114204 [05:42] does your lspci output recognize the card? === lipsinV2_ is now known as lipsinV2 [05:43] 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01) [05:43] dfl, if i'm correct, airmon is a wireless connection application right? [05:43] thats the card [05:43] hmm [05:43] mine's 4312, it's always worked with ndis.. [05:43] airmon-ng is aircrack [05:44] stealth-, there is no package named klauncher [05:44] idonno how to patch thats gonna take me like another 5 days [05:44] i've never used aircrack unfortunately then >.> [05:45] dflpridesbabyboy: are you saying that eth1 is working just fine, but the application, airmon-ng is not working. correct? [05:45] i have it conveniently installed though - report the issue with aircrack again? [05:45] but u can get monitor mode, cr0w? [05:46] not all cards/drivers support monitor mode [05:47] is it normal for firefox 3.0.10 and Xchat 2.8.4 running on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS W/256 Ram to be so laggy or is it just the Ram is the issue [05:47] krphop as far as i know it does [05:47] theres away [05:47] unikon: 256MB is rather small [05:47] unikon, firefox can be a bit of a ram hog [05:47] its just i have done something wrong & i cant figure it out [05:47] monitor mode isn't working atm. [05:47] Ubuntu on 256MB? yeah. Xubuntu on 256? Somewhat, but more than usable. [05:47] un_dave, you can edit firefox's config by posting 'about:config' in the address bar, from there you can edit the ram usage [05:47] unikon: firefox in 256 MiB is a bit cramped, firefox + ubuntu's standard gnome desktop even more so [05:47] how is Kongqueror [05:48] krappy :) [05:48] * Bob_Dole runs xubuntu on 600mhz P3s with 256MB of RAM, 5 tabs on firefox with no flash content and OpenOffice 3 run fine at the same time. [05:48] unikon: consider monitoring memory usage in top in a terminal and comparing browsers [05:48] cr0w, i'm good. i have 8gb of ram here. it can use as much as it wants :P [05:48] could try iceweasel instead of firefox, it seems to perform a bit better [05:49] don't think its in the ubuntu repos though [05:49] i didnt see it anyway [05:49] But I really do hate flash now.. makes my 2.8ghz Core 2 Duo with 4GB of RAM act like a Pentium MMX with 64MB of RAM. [05:49] heh, yeah [05:49] but its so hard to avoid flash these days [05:49] ed2ef u know how i can get my chipset to read ? [05:49] when using firefox* Arora, SeaMonkey, 2-3 other browsers handle it fine. [05:50] only if i change to monitor mode [05:50] can you run kde 4 apps in Xubuntu 9.04 ??? [05:50] in order for me to change monitor mode i have to enable RFMON [05:50] dflpridesbabyboy, we've discussed this. use a comma instead of enter. [05:50] hates flash [05:50] dflpridesbabyboy, dude, i really dunno [05:50] dylan_: yes, but kde 4's libraries will be needed [05:51] bob sorry dude im juss new using this for the first time & i apolegize' [05:51] dylan_: those programs can still run under xfce though [05:51] dflpridesbabyboy, for now, the only way i see is getting the native driver(bcm43xx) to work, instead the ndiswrapper [05:51] dflpridesbabyboy, but this driver is a little buggy [05:52] yea well i would really appriciate some help if you come cross something some otherday or later on my email address is "hemantmatieda@yahoo.com" [05:52] any help will be helpful [05:53] lstarnes, because when I run dolphin in xubuntu, (used the add/remove program that was provided), dolphin gives me an error at the bottom of its screen saying "could not start process, could not launch klauncher, the name org.kde.klauncher was not provided by any .service files" [05:53] god ill never figure this out" [05:53] dylan_: you might need to have dbus runnig [05:53] *running [05:53] problably will dude [05:53] did u search on ubuntu forums and google? [05:53] dflpridesbabyboy - what system are you running? just out of curiousity? [05:53] lstarnes, do I just run "dbus" as root or something "? [05:54] ed2ef: http://aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=broadcom [05:54] is there a way to make ssh respond quicker? it currently takes about a minute to ask for a password [05:54] soreau, ty man [05:54] dylan_: it should already be running [05:54] hmm [05:54] how do i change the number of desktops for CCSM won't go to more then 1 [05:54] well this version of Xubuntu uses gdm [05:54] Got lost in google. I cannot get suspend to work in Jaunty 64. I have an LG p310 with intel c2d and nvidia gfx card. Can anyone help? [05:54] anyone know why im getting this error in jaunty? error while loading shared libraries: libxcb-xlib.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [05:54] alex87: http://arunstephens.com/2008/11/21/ssh-slow-to-login-disable-reverse-dns-lookup [05:55] lstarnes, so wouldn't that have something to do with it (using gdm not kdm) ? [05:55] Flannel: cheers! [05:55] im running ubuntu 9.04 cr0w [05:55] dylan_: is xfce4-quicklauncher-plugin installed? [05:55] thanks :p [05:55] does anyone else know if they have libxcb-xlib? [05:55] dflpridesbabyboy, what are you trying to do get ndiswrapper working? [05:55] YangYin: running what? Most likely jaunty is using libxcb-1.2 which no longer has that library. Nothing but libX11 should have been using it, but some libraries or apps accidentally linked directly t o libxcb-xlib instead of just picking it up through libX11 [05:55] yes [05:55] lstarnes, yes [05:55] hi.. [05:55] how do i run dbus ltarnes" [05:56] no my chipset is unknow [05:56] can't boot windows... [05:56] my boot menu list is.. [05:56] mzz i think thats the problem... guess i gotta wait for the update to the program [05:56] dfl what do you mean unknown? [05:56] # on /dev/sdb1 [05:56] title Microsoft Windows XP Professional [05:56] rootnoverify (hd1,0) [05:56] savedefault [05:56] makeactive [05:56] ubuntu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:56] map (hd0) (hd1) [05:56] im trying to put it in monitor mode so it can read [05:56] YangYin: (so the right fix here is most likely to recompile the app or lib against the newer libX11+libxcb you have, not to find libxcb-xlib) [05:56] dylan_: I'm not sure how to get it working [05:56] ok thanks lstarnes [05:56] dflpridesbabyboy, reading the link that soreau send me, bcm43xx is now old, the driver u need to use is b43 [05:57] does everything EXCEPT aircrack work? [05:57] mzz its not my application... but is there a way i can lib agianst the new libx11+libxcd? [05:57] my drive is at /dev/sda1 [05:58] YangYin: if you have the source to the app you're trying to run you should be able to rebuild it and fix this in the process. If you don't it may be harder. [05:58] hey im trying to have a seamless desktop like in . However, rdesktop keeps telling me "WARNING: Broken Window Manager: Timeout while waiting for ConfigureNotify", "WARNING: Broken Window Manager: doesn't handle restack (window was moved to bottom)", and "WARNING: Remote desktop does not support colour depth 24; falling back to 16". I wonder what could be wrong—I'm using Ubunt [05:58] u Jaunty amd64 with no effects. [05:58] dflpridesbabyboy, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/b43 if u wanna know more about it [05:58] mzz no dice on access to the app source [05:58] YangYin: what's the app? [05:58] hi pls.. anybody.. [05:58] Is PPTP secure enough for a VPN connection? how hard is it to crack at 128bit? [05:58] 2xApplicationServer client app [05:59] Also is openvpn more secure? [05:59] its a free version of a citrix application [05:59] i install b43 before i donno the steps where to download it [05:59] grrrrrrrrrrr [05:59] mzz im checking forums for possible help [05:59] YangYin: I'd check with their support then [05:59] no one here know anyone about managed mode & monitor mode: [05:59] the shit on this driver, is that u need the driver and the proprietary firmware [06:00] ed2ef: Please mind your language. [06:00] evilGUI: openvpn allows arbitrary key sizes it's more secure the bigger the key you use [06:00] YangYin: you might be able to get away with hacking up the binaries to remove the dependency, or producing a dummy libxcb-xlib.so to fulfill the dependency, but if for some bizarre reason they actually *use* libxcb-xlib that may fail spectacularly. [06:00] Flannel, sorry [06:00] dflprides have you tried the aircrack IRC channel? [06:00] ed2ef can you help me get this driver & put the patch on it i mean tell me some how i can do it:?? [06:00] evilGUI: I would only use pptp in a situation where the client was stuck on windows without admin privs to install openvpn [06:00] mzz lol i suppose i could try [06:00] no cr0w im totally new [06:01] it's in freenode, the channel is #aircrack-ng [06:01] YangYin: (they really shouldn't be using lixcb-xlib though, unless they're doing something weird like including a modified libX11...) [06:01] dflpridesbabyboy: #aircrack-ng or http://aircrack-ng.org [06:01] Dulak: Alright, I'm paying for a VPS and am using PPTP right now, I guess I'll switch thanks. [06:01] Dulak: VPN* [06:01] they'll probably be alot more help [06:01] i think not, i dont have a broadcom wireless card, and the wiki is incompleted [06:01] cr0w this whole problem i have is in aircrack-ng [06:02] evilGUI: for windows clients there is an app called openvpn gui, I have used that in several installations, including my mother's laptop for online banking through the vpn, it's very easy to use [06:02] mzz not sure what they do, but i found they are working on new update that is compatable with jaunty [06:02] mzz im not too worried [06:02] mzz thnx for all the help tho [06:02] mzz very informative [06:03] dflpridesbabyboy, looking on packages.ubuntu.com, i found the b43 module on linux-image and linux-restricted-module [06:03] YangYin: didn't actually fix the problem though :) [06:03] dflpridesbabyboy, u just need to get the firmware, blacklist the ndis and reboot [06:03] ed2ef ive been on that site i couldnt understand anything [06:03] mzz lol no but understand the problem which sometimes is acceptable. [06:04] dflpridesbabyboy, that means that the bcm43xx drivers SHOULD already be installed in your system.. [06:04] dflpridesbabyboy, the driver is on ur computer(open a terminal and type "sudo modprobe -l | grep b43" and u ll see it) [06:04] (unless you've blacklisted them) [06:04] dflpridesbabyboy, u just need the firmware to make it work [06:04] YangYin: do you have Updog? [06:05] updog? [06:05] haha [06:05] lol whats up dawg? [06:05] kernel/drivers/net/wireless/b43legacy/b43legacy.ko this is where it is [06:05] uptime in dog years? ;-) [06:05] simoncpu: are you serious? [06:06] doesnt all this have to go in certain forlder too? [06:06] YangYin: no, i'm not serious [06:06] i've been asking this question for quite a while [06:06] oh alright well night thnx mzz [06:06] and i can't bait a single person into typing [06:06] "what's updog?" [06:06] where will i find the firmware i have firmware under lib/ [06:06] firmware [06:07] updog = urban dictionary? [06:07] * bc asdfghjkl [06:07] Regardless, it's offtopic. [06:07] see, the driver is already on ur ubuntu, u just need the firmware, and that u can extract from the windows driver with the b43-fwcutter or getting the ready-package from http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/ [06:07] dflpridesbabyboy, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/b43 this is on the bottom of this page [06:08] is this: Ubuntu Server 8.0.4.2 "heron" ? [06:08] i mean, hardy, lol [06:08] ftp3: 8.04 - 8.04.2 is hardy heron [06:08] Is it possible possible to turn an existing Ubuntu installation into an iso to easily reinstall the exact same settings etc - other than the users? [06:09] Kiradien: i dunno... use dd, perhaps? [06:09] i dont even know where this kernel/drivers/net/wireless/b43legacy.ko" [06:10] lstarns, thanks [06:11] ed2ef: how reliable is that broadcom package on cafuego? (i have limited broadcom experience) [06:12] I didnt expect the first ping I heared to give an answer I could use, thanks [06:12] dfl, look in /sys [06:12] how do I get klauncher in Xubuntu 9.04 ? [06:12] l0l thankx cr0w: [06:12] :o was that sarcasm? [06:13] :P [06:13] dang i fell for it too [06:13] now i'm confused - anyways, you find it? [06:14] anyone ? now how to get klauncher running / installed for xubuntu ? [06:14] @dylan, why don't you just install kde and then boot into xfce? [06:14] a vnc viewer for ubuntu that features c/p [06:15] props to eb2ef [06:15] thank you [06:15] i really understood a little" [06:15] cr0w: ?...lol.. thats like buying a ferrari to go to the grocery store [06:15] now how do i patch b43legacy [06:15] pft, what else is a hard drive for :]? [06:15] lol [06:15] i live in america, we're lazy [06:16] just a general question...who in here uses iptables as a firewall? [06:16] I just installed Jaunty on an Athlon64. WindowMaker crashes on me. Anyone familiar with this problem? [06:18] No idea what WindowMaker is Rakko sorry [06:19] Also, I rebuilt the .deb. I used DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="debug noopt", but it seems it still stripped debugging info out. How do I prevent that? [06:19] pegon it's a window manager, like fluxbox or blackbox [06:19] ahhh okay [06:20] Question #3: I am able to run gdb on the program using its dumped core file, but I can't figure out how to pass arguments to it. Anyone know? [06:21] Rakko, unfortunately i'd suggest finding a more specific channel to your issues o.O === Tetracomm is now known as Dorward [06:21] IndyGunFreak, idk, i just say what was in the link that i post [06:21] specific to what? [06:21] ed2ef: understood.. just curious how it works. [06:22] your problems..like a window maker channel for the one a while ago [06:22] oh [06:22] there's a problem with the ubuntu package so I thought I'd ask here [06:22] Is there some way I can listen to music on one computer and do visualization on the other? [06:22] admittedly I haven't tried compiling it from scratch (just dpkg-buildpackage) [06:22] pulseaudio client server maybe? [06:23] does it work over the network? [06:26] dflpridesbabyboy, i find this site, maybe this can help to get ur card to work with b43 http://fourlovesfour.blogspot.com/2008/05/setting-up-broadcom-b43-wireless-with.html [06:26] dflpridesbabyboy, remeber blacklist the ndiswrapper before the reboot or it probably wont work [06:27] Can anyone check if my vlc http stream is working? [06:27] Noble: sure... link? [06:27] http at @ 81.166.203.158 port 1234 [06:28] hey [06:28] Brack10: yes, pulseaudio. I have no experience doing that, but I know it's possible because Gnea configured it that way. [06:29] Noble: doesn't look like it [06:29] get any kind of error? [06:29] just says VLC is unable to open the URL http://81.166.203.158" [06:29] you have to specify the port [06:30] any wireless pros [06:30] vlc http://81.166.203.152:1234 [06:30] Noble: 1234 is the default, but ok [06:31] same error [06:31] strange [06:31] got some other guy to play it [06:31] and it works there :S [06:31] well, i listen to streaming audio w/ VLC all the time.. no problems [06:32] I see [06:32] god this pisses me off.. [06:32] thanks anyways [06:32] yahoo servers keep rejecting email from my server. [06:33] use an smtp relay? [06:33] and i have a ton of people that are trying to register [06:33] grendal_prime: that sounds about right for yahoo. [06:33] gmail [06:33] grendal_prime: does the server's IP resolve? [06:33] grendal_prime, dns misconfigurations is the most common cause [06:33] noble, The relay i was using (my isp) limits the number of emails i can send. [06:34] grendal_prime: maybe put up some SPF records and see if they start accepting it [06:34] bc, i need to set up an mx record for it i belive..the server resolves though [06:34] grendal_prime: afaik yahoo, msn and other "big" companies auto reject mail from unknown servers [06:34] grendal_prime, yes.... mx record is a requirement for all domains whether they run main or not [06:34] ok [06:34] err run mail [06:34] im looking at that now. [06:35] Noble: "unknown servers" is pretty vague [06:35] grendal_prime: you must ask your isp to reverse ip adress to your domain, I think [06:35] bc: well, uhm, unknow as in untrusted. Or not whitelisted I believe. [06:36] ed2ef im still confused weather i should use b43 or ndis [06:36] because i tried using ndis before and messed everything up" [06:36] grendal_prime, ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc1912.txt [06:36] sorry i was trying to copy files [06:36] how do i copy files from one folder to another [06:37] like windows i coulda just drag in forlder [06:37] cp source destination [06:37] : ctrlC then ctrl V :| [06:37] ubuntu im having hardtime moving files from my desktop to the firmware [06:37] dflpridesbabyboy, to the firmware? [06:37] titan are you familiar with aircrack [06:38] dflpridesbabyboy, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firmware [06:38] monitor mode chipset unknown error [06:38] dflpridesbabyboy, yes I am [06:38] how can i fix that [06:38] i would really appriciate [06:38] : with aircrack you should ask packetstorm [06:38] dflpridesbabyboy, use a driver thats supported by aircrack [06:38] sorry: remote-exploit [06:38] whatvn, not really [06:38] hi i'm using ubuntu 9.04 with two monitors using nvidia and xinerama, and sometimes my mouse will get stuck one one monitor and refuse to move to the other. it persists like this until i close most if not all of the windows i have open (i'm using xmonad as a window manager). any ideas what i can do about this? [06:38] whatvn, #aircrack-ng [06:39] Titan8990: im looking at the account now on networksolutions..there is an mx record for it [06:39] like b43legecy [06:39] Titan8990: I don't remember irc channel exactly === les_ is now known as les [06:39] whatvn, i am on remote-exploit all the time and i can guarentee they will either a) ban him b) tell him to rtfm [06:39] Titan8990: ok [06:39] grendal_prime, does it point to an ip or a domain name? [06:40] domain name [06:40] my domain name === Xor1ng_ is now known as Xor1ng [06:41] titan are you familiar with RFMON enable? [06:41] enable monitor mode? [06:41] grendal_prime: if you have an email server, I think you *should* ask your isp to reverse your ip to your domain, they will please to do it [06:41] ineed a good turtorial [06:41] How do I ensure that a program is built with debugging info, using dpkg-buildpackage? I am already using DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="debug noopt" dpkg-buildpackage -nc -us -uc [06:41] anyone about patching & getting the correct drivers [06:42] i think u dont need to patch anymore [06:42] dflpridesbabyboy, http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=compatibility_drivers&DokuWiki=aeb455658ad5fb024ffa4860eea14413#broadcom_chipset_comments [06:42] u just need to decide what driver u wanna use, the ndis or the b43 [06:42] ed2ef, ndis will never be supported by aircrack [06:42] I dont know that these guys are able to do that..but, anther idea would be to use ..like a gmail account as a realay. They have opened up my account so i can relay smtp. So i guess i could set up my gmail account as a smart host sort of deal? [06:42] dflpridesbabyboy, you still have to patch the mac80211 stack with the b43 drivers [06:43] i know that, but he couldn't get to work the other driver [06:43] where is the ffmpeg directory on my system? I installed the program but dont know where the dir is [06:43] grendal_prime, not if your mass mailing [06:43] : can you bring up your network card? [06:43] grendal_prime: or you can use your isp's smtp as a relay just for mail destined for yahoo.com [06:43] ya but im not...at moset...50 emails? [06:43] grendal_prime, per day? [06:43] yes eth1 [06:43] bc i had the same problem with the isp though [06:43] chipset unknown tho [06:44] titan..ya, [06:44] titan so i have b43 driver already [06:44] roughly, it is going up pretty steadily, but they are not all at one time...here there usually a few min/15 seconds apart. [06:44] dflpridesbabyboy, what chipset? [06:44] u got the firmware? [06:44] grendal_prime: what is the reply from yahoo mx when you try to send? [06:44] and now i need mac80211 patch which ive seen around and what i do which folder i put in how do i patch it? [06:44] hold on ill get log info [06:44] airmon-ng start eth1 [06:45] dflpridesbabyboy, you shouldn't worry yourself with aircrack if you don't even have working wireless [06:45] http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=compatibility_drivers&DokuWiki=aeb455658ad5fb024ffa4860eea14413#broadcom_chipset_comments [06:45] #philosophy [06:45] dflpridesbabyboy, thats like painting a house before they have put the walls up [06:45] dflpridesbabyboy, did u read the link i send to u? [06:45] Interface Chipset Driver [06:45] eth1 Unknown wl (monitor mode enabled) [06:45] this chipset [06:45] :" iwconfig eth0 mode monitor " , replace eth0 with you network card name [06:45] dflpridesbabyboy, lspci [06:45] dflpridesbabyboy, u need to extract the firmware on /lib/firmware [06:45] i did sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng [06:45] and it didnt show up in my window [06:46] 2009-05-18 15:54:35 1M6BeG-0003y5-MM == warwolfwill@yahoo.com R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp defer (-46): SMTP error from remote mail server after end of data: host f.mx.mail.yahoo.com [68.142.202.247]: 421 Message temporarily deferred - 4.16.51.

[06:47] chemikalz, man aircrack-ng will list the other commands in the suite at the end of the man page [06:47] its maxing only one core and google isnt revealing too much around the how and why of this [06:48] hi hoeq! [06:48] well, my laptop battery is going down, so i ll have to quit, dflpridesbabyboy if u wanna go for the b43, follow this guide http://fourlovesfour.blogspot.com/2008/05/setting-up-broadcom-b43-wireless-with.html [06:48] so i put the driver b43 all files in lib/firmware [06:48] blacklist the ndiswrapper module [06:49] hi [06:49] and then download firware for b43 [06:49] and unblacklist the b43 [06:49] hi [06:49] and like titan said patch it with mac802 [06:49] any body there? [06:49] no no, follow the link [06:49] & i should resolve this problem?

[06:50] ed2ef, he does need to patch if he wants to inject [06:50] hello! I have a problem, Ubuntu doesn't want to connect to the internet by wireless or wire. I am at an Global Gossip internet "cafe". Any ideas how to get this working? [06:50] for some reason windows cds are not recognized on ubuntu [06:50] ed2ef, although, Im not recommending he does it [06:50] dflpridesbabyboy, np man [06:51] grendal_prime: and maybe set up a postmaster@ address [06:51] titan ive been trying slowly for past 15 nights l0l thats cause i guess im new to linux [06:51] DonP, could it be because its not windows?

[07:03] whatvn: what did you do to it? xD [07:03] Hi vigo, I don't think wine can solve the issue because I can't see the setup.exe itself [07:04] Can someone help me get my titlebars back [07:04] if I can see that then I can execute it via wine [07:04] could anyone recommend a good iso burning tool for ubuntu [07:04] i see my dmesg shows 'iwlagn Intel(R) Wireless WiFI Link AGN driver for Linux 1.3.27ks ; so looks like the driver si in place [07:04] k3b [07:04] Sagaci - I use k3b [07:04] bc: jep, same problem, but chown / chmod it doesnt resolves the problem [07:04] DonP: Load them in Windows, use WINE to read or access them? [07:04] on restart the same problem [07:04] preferably gui [07:05] I don't have dual boot. I've been using ubuntu for 4 yrs now just single boot [07:05] Iowahc: sorry, I checked, Mb/s :) [07:05] DonP, openoffice works fine for most people [07:05] Iowahc: how are you starting X?

[07:10] they like the Artichoke plants..alot of workable area for webs... [07:10] i donno the actual command to do it in terminal [07:10] I've installed CSS with wine on my ubuntu and it doesn't quite work.. I get to the game but then something happens (or happens not).. Does anyone even read these things? [07:11] dflpridesbabyboy: use sudo tar -option [07:11] dflpridesbabyboy: use sudo before your command [07:11] !man [07:11] The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [07:11] dflpridesbabyboy: next time try *man sudo* [07:12] is there any other browser than firefox on ubuntu?

[07:13] cadega is not free right [07:13] SOMEOME MUST KNOW [07:13] dflpridesbabyboy: sudo tar -xzvf filename.tar.gz , man sudo just give you the way using sudo [07:14] DonP: Cedega is a pay as you play deal [07:14] i did 'iwconfig wlanN' too and dont really see any way to try and force N [07:14] Iowahc: does anything run upon login that uses sudo? [07:14] Kall - 1) watch your language please this is a family channel. 2) we dont know what kind of spider that is and if we didnt we wouldnt talk about it cause that would be off topic. [07:14] aixenv: N is what? [07:14] some of these folks are just so thick [07:14] whatvn: trying to get 802.11N speeds on my box [07:15] bc: nothing I know of [07:15] whatvn: according to dmsg i have the linux iwlagn driver so looks like draft N should be "driver supported" at the very least [07:15] Iowahc: I mean, it seems like it's something along these lines, but this particular link is an old bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdelibs/+bug/8785 [07:15] how can i make hddtemp start on boot [07:16] aixenv: iwconfig wlanN *N is the name of wlan card* just show configuration of this card === quleap is now known as qubits [07:16] whatvn: yea i did that, i know [07:16] chilli0 - System -> Administration -> Services? [07:16] mmm [07:16] trying to figure out how to "force" N [07:16] chilli0: otherwise add it to /etc/rc.local [07:17] when i origonaly installed it it came up with something , and it said to do it a special way , but i said dont start on boot. [07:17] but meh [07:17] Iowahc: poke around here as well, https://launchpad.net/+search?field.text=.ICEauthority [07:17] chilli0: if you want that menu back try sudo dpkg-reconfigure hddtemp [07:17] k thanks [07:18] aixenv: is your card support n standard? [07:18] whatvn: yes [07:18] hm, only thing is, I start kvpnc from within the system by sudo, maybe a similar bug to k3b [07:18] whatvn: and according to dmesg it looks like the drive supports N also since its 'linux iwagn' [07:18] aixenv: then it will run n automatically if your router supports too [07:19] whatvn: it isnt, and router supports N as well [07:19] Iowahc: run it with strace and see if it's manipulating the permissions on .ICEauthority (e.g. strace sudo kvpnc) [07:19] using alien to convert .rpm to .deb, and it is not workign [07:19] aixenv: you must config router run N standard? did you config? [07:19] whatvn: yes [07:19] first it said use the "--scripts" parameter...i did that ..still did not work [07:19] bc: i am going to try it [07:20] <|Newton|> Goodmorning :) CAn anyone explain to my why, everytime i try to open WC3 on my MSI Wind Ubuntu 9 the screen is all black and i have to restart? [07:20] whatvn: i set it to N-only, but that's also compatiblity with bg, so i assume its falling back on g [07:20] you can't strace sudo... but you can sudo strace. [07:20] DanaG: I'd probably sudo bash, THEN strace. [07:20] Iowahc: you'll get a lot of text fly by. maybe try it with sudo strace kvpnc 2>&1 | pager [07:20] But I'm odd like that. [07:21] windows based cd not reading in ubuntu [07:21] what could be the issue? [07:21] sudo -i is nicer. [07:21] cd has office 2007 [07:21] I am on fiesty [07:21] sudo -i sets up the environment properly... sudo'ing to root in general is evil though and a cardinal sin of Ubuntu. Repent. [07:21] aixenv: if you set to N only, and your client connected to the router, you're running N standard :| [07:22] mindrape: su - works. [07:22] using alien to convert .rpm to .deb, and it is not workign [07:22] first it said use the "--scripts" parameter...i did that ..still did not work [07:22] bc: its kvpnc [07:22] KB1JWQ: I'm aware of how to become root... I just frown on it. [07:22] aixenv: because in N-only mode, your router should not accept client with b/g standard to connect [07:22] !root | KB1JWQ [07:22] KB1JWQ: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [07:22] Iowahc: well, at least you won't go on wondering [07:22] ubotu has spoken... [07:23] bc: yep, but now to figure out, how to resolve it ^^ [07:23] Iowahc: I don't know if that's technically a bug (maybe it is), and if there isn't a report already in maybe file one [07:23] can udf issues be read in ubuntu [07:24] im using conky and im doing this setup, http://www.quicktweaks.com/2008/09/27/gmail-weather-beauty-right-on-your-ubuntu-desktop/ [07:24] But i cant get weather working [07:25] bc: got it, using the [Alt] [F2] call to start kvpnc it seems to start with proper user settings [07:25] well it's connecting at 54 [07:25] so its def not N [07:25] heres what i get when running it in termnial , http://pastebin.com/ma3588 [07:27] anyone a bluetooth expert?

[07:44] mejobloggs: show us mount and ls -l /media/* [07:45] mejobloggs, if you didn't format yourself, then i doubt it is [07:45] there has to be a way to "force" N from the client perspective, ya know like we would with ethtool for wired [07:45] /dev/sda1 on /media/filestore1 type ext3 (rw) [07:45] chetnick: we can help you with mplayer if you need it. i use it even in windows [07:45] i just upgraded and kept the same menu.lst... now im using ubuntu 8.10, how can i fix this?

( for using after come back to system ) [08:10] zaggynl, because SMB is terrible [08:10] Written during April 30 2009 - May 18 2009 [08:10] zaggynl, it was posted on slashdot well before that [08:10] hey, how're u [08:10] zaggynl, that user who wrote it seems to be Bill Gates lover. [08:10] i need some of help [08:11] Gourlis: lol [08:11] :P [08:11] zaggynl, oh, your right, that is a different list [08:11] zaggynl, sorry [08:11] np [08:11] I like Linux, I really do, but that's a long list :( [08:12] simply, ignore the list :D [08:12] iphone sync with ubuntu so that it uses normal player, not pwn player? [08:12] i'm colombian, and my english is some bad, but in the spanish chat isn't body, then, if you can help me... i've the follow mistake : E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [08:12] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [08:12] and is nothing in google, can some body help me? [08:13] zaggynl, well a bunch of those fall under the "why linux doesn't belong in the enterprise workstation market" [08:13] ;-) [08:13] zaggynl, for example, why the hell would I need software policies on my laptop? [08:13] Titan8990: since changing the owner, i can no longer create/delete files (filestore was a samba share). The share is set to guest access, so I dont understand why i cant [08:14] mejobloggs, you showed me earlier filestore was a real drive, formatted to ext3.... i dont understand [08:14] i'm colombian, and my english is some bad, but in the spanish chat isn't body, then, if you can help me... i've the follow mistake : E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [08:14] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [08:14] and is nothing in google, can some body help me? [08:14] wiherna, sudo dpkg --configure -a [08:14] wind0pain: So run that command. [08:15] Titan8990: if your laptop was to be used in a AD like environment I'd say [08:15] I am trying to install ubuntu 9.04 to a laptop, everything works fine execpt i cannot get the wireless internet working. also i currently donot have internet i am stealing it from my neighbor. :-D so i cant just plug it in and update, is there anyway i can download hardware drivers and burn them and instsall to laptop? [08:15] yes titan 8990, but giveme error [08:15] zaggynl, yes, which applies to a business workstation setting, not a home desktop setting [08:15] is the more obviously, but giveme error === wax is now known as Guest94150 [08:15] zaggynl, I will agree linux is not ready for business workstations but it is plenty ready for the home user [08:16] Titan8990: http://pastebin.com/m5ad7b591 i have this making them shared as well as it being a normal driver or whatever (i dont really understand, im pretty new to this) [08:16] mejobloggs, honestly [08:16] ? [08:16] mejobloggs, i don't know much about windows or their crappy share protocol [08:17] oh ok [08:17] If I sit down and write a book-list of Windows errors and problems you won't like Windows :D~ [08:17] mejobloggs, I know that you can use a real rsync daemon in windows [08:17] Titan8990: ok all good. Thanks very much for your help [08:17] mejobloggs, but unles you tar the files before sending them its going to bork your permissions storring them on a ntfs drive [08:17] mejobloggs, np [08:17] anybody knows why the root terminal is not working in accessories in 9.04? === Guest94150 is now known as wax_ [08:18] boyet, do other applications that require gksu work? [08:18] I am trying to install ubuntu 9.04 to a laptop, everything works fine execpt i cannot get the wireless internet working. also i currently donot have internet i am stealing it from my neighbor. :-D so i cant just plug it in and update, is there anyway i can download hardware drivers and burn them and instsall to laptop? [08:19] titan8998, i just wonder why but it doesnt anyway..any changes in previledges? [08:19] !op | LaZyFo0L [08:19] LaZyFo0L: Help! Channel emergency!

I don't even have "root terminal" in accessories any more.. did you upgrade? === wax_ is now known as ubuntucookie [08:20] Titan8990: ? === ubuntucookie is now known as wax_ [08:20] Slart, probably means Terminal :] [08:21] o.O [08:21] Madpilot, wants help stealing internet from his neighbor... [08:21] Titan8990: why did you call ops? [08:21] Gourlis: nah.. there used to be a shortcut to a terminal where you were already running as root [08:21] Madpilot, I am not sure exactly how you all handle that [08:21] huy [08:21] Titan8990: that is not what he said [08:21] start, just edit your menu then find the system tools there you can find the root terminal and tick the bos [08:21] gnomefreak, alright, sorry, just won't touch it [08:21] box [08:22] Titan8990, if we removed everyone taking advantage of open wireless, there'd be a lot fewer people in this channel... [08:22] i just got the laptop, its pretty old. I just want to get wirless working, I cant plug it in to the net cause i am stealing my net from my neighbor. I need the hardware driver so i can install it, [08:22] is there anyplace i can download it from? [08:22] Titan8990: he is looking for drivers. the fact that he is stealing a net connection could mean that either he is using wifi or the guy let him. [08:22] hello how can I restore deleted files? Is there a file recovery on ubuntu with gui? [08:23] the guy knows im using it. [08:23] my net gets turned on next week [08:23] Kangarooo: check out.. photorec.. or search in synaptic for recover.. I'm not sure which ones use a gui though [08:23] gnomefreak, Madpilot, sorry for the bother, im just going to leave it alone [08:23] LaZyFo0L, it's ok don't mind. I have my router open so everyone can connect in my neighboor :D [08:24] LaZyFo0L: either get the drivers from packages.ubuntu.com or install them on your Ubuntu PC from archives. atm you have a net connection so use it while you still can [08:24] * gnomefreak goes back to work [08:25] thanks [08:25] LaZyFo0L: if you know what wireless card you have, then you can download what you need, and then install it [08:25] yeah we have the root terminal icon but who cares if aint working but just wondering why..since we have many options to run as root in terminal [08:26] Slart: ok photorec is only for photos?? [08:26] boyet, which version of Ubuntu are you running? root terminal has been gone from the menus for quite a while [08:26] Kangarooo: nope.. it just started out as an app for recovering photos [08:26] gnomefreak, I can find anything on packages.ubuntu.com about my ATI Radeon graphics card ? :D [08:26] 9.04 [08:27] Gourlis, what model of ati card? [08:28] Madpilot, ATI Radeon RS490M X1200 as I saw so far, isn't supported on Ubuntu 9.04 but I'm still searching. [08:28] boyet: I found an old shortcut in "system tools".. it points to "gksu /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator".. when I try to run that in another terminal I get "Failed to contact the GConf daemon; exiting." [08:29] well hardware drivers says i need the broadcom b43 wireless driver. [08:29] slart: yeah thats it thats what i mean [08:29] 9.04 only has a terminal unless you are talking about perhaps kubuntu o.O atleast my version doesnt have it [08:29] How do I change the color of text on panels? I forgot o.0 [08:30] Madpilot, do you know anything about my problem? [08:31] boyet: I have no idea why it doesn't work.. perhaps the root user doesn't have all the config settings needed for running weird x stuff.. I can't run "gksudo gnome-terminal" either.. same error message [08:31] Gourlis, sorry, my ati card is quite a bit older - and fully supported with open-source drivers now [08:31] Chr|s: system, preferences, appearance... perhaps [08:32] I just installed ubuntu server 9.04 on a test server, and then tried to get fluxbox to work.. which failed a bit, it starts and shows a desktop, quite dull one, but the menus can't start anything and nothing really happens while trying to do stuff inside fluxbox.. anyone know if I just installed an old package or if I'm missing something else? [08:32] Madpilot: root term is in system tools you may have to enable it fro mainmenu menu item [08:32] Madpilot, on 9.04 when I put normal effects my screen flashes all the time. So, I don't know which drivers am I using now but am with No effects. [08:33] moin [08:33] gnomefreak, forgot that existed - I've got the whole System Tools sub-menu invisible, which is (I think?) stock setting for it [08:34] Gourlis, what does System->Admin->Hardware Drivers tell you? [08:34] Madpilot: no it should be visable with at least one or 2 things [08:34] Madpilot, it shows out only wireless drivers. [08:34] gnomefreak, interesting, I must have disabled it at some point, because nearly everything in it is duplicated elsewhere [08:35] now that is odd Madpilot [08:35] by default gdebi and some others are there by defualt IIRC [08:36] ironicly i use e16 more than i do gnome. shhh dont tell anyone ;) [08:36] Madpilot, it shows out only 1 point, wireless drivers. [08:36] true, gdebi is there - but double-clicking on a .deb launches that nicely [08:36] CarlFK: finally got it working!;-) [08:36] Madpilot: yep it does but i dont think i have ever used it [08:37] Gourlis, you might be out of luck for 3d support for your card for now, then [08:37] Madpilot, I'm hopping with ubuntu's next release my drivers get fixed! [08:37] :] [08:37] gregL: what card? [08:38] oops sorry gregL [08:38] Gourlis: what card? and yes ati support isnt all that great [08:38] gnomefreak, ATI Radeon RS490M X1200. On 8.04 was detected. on 9.04 no luck! [08:39] Is it possible to install linux (not necessarily ubuntu) or run the live cd without the use of 'any' removeable media? [08:39] what kind of video cards is best supported by Ubuntu?Intel?nvidia? [08:39] Gourlis: that shouldnt have changed did it work on 8.10 by chance? [08:39] slart: some policy changes i think in debian folk? [08:39] Bodsda: the answer is yes [08:39] gnomefreak, yeah also worked on 8.10 [08:40] boyet: possible [08:40] microcai: cool, got links to any documentation about it? [08:40] Slart: oh ok I found and its not gui but.. I don't know.. its in terminal working but I can movewith up down selection.. and can I add one more search posibility? it doesn't gives possibility to search .js files :( [08:40] i run nvidia 9800 gtx with 9.04 and have no problems with anything, i play counterstrike source with 60 fps in wine. [08:40] Gourlis: than it shouldnt be a problem did you install them using hardware devices or using synaptic/apt/dpkg? [08:40] Gourlis: did you try envyng-core? [08:40] gnomefreak, I didn't want to stay out of updates and releases so I upgraded on 9.04 as I do always but no luck of support on 9.04. [08:40] Bodsda: I've wrote it . but that's not in english [08:40] stxing: not necessarily supported 'by' ubuntu but nvidia do an excellent job of providing linux drivers [08:40] microcai: got any english linkies? [08:41] slart: it doenst matter anyway since we have many options to run as root...thanks [08:41] Bodsda: Do you know how to use GURB ? [08:41] gnomefreak & whatvn, No I'm a newbie on ubuntu I don't know much that's why am searching all the time. :] [08:41] Kangarooo: there are some other programs that work in the same way... try one of the other hits from synaptic.. [08:41] microcai: I know the basics of editing menu.lst yeah [08:41] boyet: true.. you're welcome [08:41] Gourlis: sudo aptitude install envyng-core [08:42] Bodsda: If you know how to use GRUB then it will be very esay for you to run a buuntu from a iso file [08:42] whatvn, are you sure it will solve my problem ? [08:42] Gourlis: in gnome open System>admin>hardware drivers and it should give you a choice. [08:42] jockey is installed by default [08:42] gnomefreak, oh there it shows only my wireless drivers. 1 point actually. [08:42] Gourlis: I'm not sure about everything :-p === Stqrg is now known as Stargaze [08:43] Gourlis: i cant be sure until you try it. I got rid of my ATI cards before this was an option in jockey [08:43] Bodsda: just extart vmlinuz and initrd.gz form /casper of the ubuntu iso file [08:43] gnomefreak, I tried it, it shows only wireless drivers there. [08:43] Gourlis: ok thats odd i never got wireless drivers in there. maybe install the package above the envy one and see if it helps [08:43] microcai: nvm i found an easier way, ty [08:44] Bodsda: and copy that 2 file to whatever GRUB can find === PingvinFakker is now known as Xangavizike [08:44] alright gnomefreak =] [08:44] Aloha brotha'z [08:44] whatvn, let's try! [08:44] Gourlis: :) [08:44] Hozsanna dicsoseges testvereim [08:44] whatvn, don't go out a! :P I don't know what to do next. hah [08:45] Gourlis: there's no step next [08:45] trace me please and see what you find, i'm testing something [08:45] whatvn, I did the command you said. Now what am I doing ? :P [08:46] Gourlis: install finish? [08:46] whatvn, yes. [08:46] reboot [08:46] alright [08:46] brb! [08:46] Can anyone help me get compiz going on Ubuntu 9.04? I don't see it under the menu. [08:47] NvidiaUser, sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [08:47] NvidiaUser: run compiz from terminal [08:47] whatvn, don't you still need to install the configuration utility? [08:48] yes [08:48] installing it right now. [08:48] ah okay I see. [08:48] Titan8990: I'm not disagree with u :p [08:48] Stargaze: nothing fun.. just the regular output [08:49] I just installed ubuntu server 9.04 on a test server, and then tried to get fluxbox to work.. which failed a bit, it starts and shows a desktop, quite dull one, but the menus can't start anything and nothing really happens while trying to do stuff inside fluxbox.. anyone know if I just installed an old package or if I'm missing something else? [08:49] whatvn, I did the reboot :P [08:49] Gourlis: how? [08:49] whatvn, let me check if I can enable 3D effects. [08:49] Gourlis: and it works? [08:49] Pingviller26, you probably also need to install xorg although I can't stress enough how unnecessary what you are doing is. [08:50] whatvn, I can use 3D effects, but ok still my screen flashes a bit :P [08:50] FOr the cube won't I have to enable 2 more virtual desktops? [08:50] Titan8990: yes I know, desktop for a server, however I kinda enjoy being able to browse for stuff whenever shit does hit the fan [08:50] and yes, installed xorg [08:51] NvidiaUser: no, virtual desktops are not what you want [08:51] Gourlis: so it works? [08:51] whatvn, yeah :) [08:51] Gourlis: :p [08:51] whatvn, nice work dude :P [08:51] Gourlis: my luck :p [08:52] Pingviller26, did you generate a xorg.conf or install hal? [08:52] whatvn, from where can I see that envy-core is installed ? :P [08:52] Pingviller26, typically your server will have no monitor mouse and keyboard, and you just conduct your business from your desktop [08:52] im trying to edit a system file.. how do i do this without getting blocked "dont have permissions" i think theres a way to open it through terminal [08:52] Gourlis: I never care where it's before :| [08:52] Pingviller26, making a gui actually on the server worthless [08:53] Titan8990: I just did "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-core", not sure how to generate an xorg.conf [08:53] Gourlis: but try envy-core from terminal [08:53] Pingviller26, especially since guis for server configuration are nearly non-existant [08:53] yoyit I'm new to linux but: sudo gedit filename ? [08:53] Pingviller26, yes, xserver-xorg is the meta package [08:53] im trying to restart x without logging out. I'm on using 9.04 and ctrl-backspace is disabled [08:53] whatvn, Oh :P Because when I use any effects some windows doesn't have Minimize tool or move it around :P [08:53] Pingviller26, did you edit your .xinitrc to launch the wm? [08:54] Gourlis: you're using compiz? [08:54] Titan8990: nope, I just type "startx" to get it up whenever I do need the desktop manager [08:54] whatvn, dunno. Ubuntu 9.04 by default [08:55] how do i edit a system file without having restrictions? [08:55] use sudo [08:55] Gourlis: no ideas :p [08:55] whatvn, actually I can't move the terminal only ;p but nevermind [08:55] brian__ sudo what the full comand? [08:55] acipd when started during boot, it is not running as any user. If I do a /etc/init.d/acpid restart it becomes user root. My problem is that when the acpid runns with no users, my scripts are not working properly. Should it run as no user? [08:55] yoyit2, sudo -i will give you a root shell, sudo nano /path/to/file will let you edit a file unrestricted [08:55] whatvn, thanks for your help :) 95% am better than before. [08:56] whats the nano part for? [08:56] yoyit2, nano is the text editor.. [08:56] whatvn, all works now lol i set the theme again. [08:56] yoyit2, if you need a GUI text editor try gksudo gedit /path/to/file [08:56] Geek`N`Proud: thx [08:56] Pingviller26, but its not working correct? [08:57] Gourlis: I got this error when using compiz, and my solution is comment out my video card in blacklist [08:57] whatvn, I set again my theme and all works now. Try it [08:57] Geek`N`Proud: so sudo nano/sftp://mobile@192.168.1.130/System/Library/Lockdown [08:57] I can't get the compiz desktop cube to work... [08:57] Titan8990: nope, the menus are dead, nothing happens when I try to launch applications [08:58] Gourlis: no, my ubuntu is working well, with nice theme. better than windows 7 or vista :)) === stefanlsd_ is now known as stefanlsd [08:58] Geek`N`Proud: ?? [08:58] whatvn, I hate Microsoft ;D [08:59] yoyit2, nope.. for that you need to be sftp'ed into that server as root [08:59] Gourlis: and I love everything :p [08:59] yoyit2, that file is on a remote server, so you'd need to be root@ to modify system files on that.. [09:00] whatvn, The truth is that I am using Windows Vista until I finish from the University, after I finish. A complete format will take action and a fresh copy of Ubuntu will get installed. :D [09:00] yoyit2, try SSHing into it, then run sudo nano on that file from inside the shell on that server [09:00] my english is not very good, i am installing ubuntu 9.04 in brazillian portuguese, the instalation found windows xp pro, and i chose dualboot, it is copping the ubuntu system files, but the instalation does not asked me for partition parametres, with size of partitions does the instalation created, why dosent gparted apeared to me? where is the ubuntu files? does ubuntu resized ntfs? [09:01] Pingviller26, oh [09:01] gumarti, there's a brazillian channel which can help you methinks =] [09:01] !br > gumarti [09:01] Pingviller26, that is likely a misconfiguration or lack of configuration of the window manager [09:01] gumarti, please see my private message [09:01] !br | gumarti [09:01] gumarti: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [09:01] Geek`N`Proud: im pretty new to ubuntu, so could you give me a path example? [09:01] that's the one! [09:01] please, where is brazilian chanel? [09:01] !br | gumarti [09:01] Titan8990: sounds probable yes, not sure how to fix it [09:01] Gourlis: I know, and we must work with many clients using Windows, so it's difficult to have Windows. and I think me and you must stop chatting now, or receive warning :p [09:01] yoyit2, the path you gave was to a file that is not on your computer [09:02] ok! thaks very much, going to brazil, bye! [09:02] Geek`N`Proud: correct, here is the full path : sftp://mobile@192.168.1.130/System/Library/Lockdown/Checkpoint.xml [09:02] Pingviller26, which window manager are you using? [09:02] Titan8990: I'm not that good with the terminal interface, that's why I want a desktop manager, so I can use gedit or similar visual text editors, whatever is available for fluxbox [09:02] yoyit2, yes.. so you're trying to edit that file as the "mobile" user.. which doesn't have permissions [09:02] whatvn, lol I'll go out for a few hours. See you around whatvn! :) [09:02] Titan8990: right now I changed to blackbox, in hopes it would work better, but I'm missing something [09:02] Pingviller26, its not going to have anything you don't add to it [09:03] Geek`N`Proud: ok?? so what can i do? [09:03] Titan8990: I know [09:03] Pingviller26, same with blackbox [09:03] Gourlis: see you! [09:03] yoyit2, what you need to do is sftp://root@192.168.1.130/System/Library/Lockdown/Checkpoint.xml [09:03] I'm trying to configure in.tftpd through xinetd. The server runs as intended, but I'm trying to change the default umask on the files put into that dir. Earlier, "in.tftpd -U " worked, but the tftpd version installed from the repository doesn't seem to have the -U options. Any ideas on how I can change the default umask on files put into the tftp dir? [09:03] Pingviller26, and honestly [09:03] Pingviller26, scrap the gui and install webmin [09:03] Geek`N`Proud: just type that in terminal? [09:03] Pingviller26, it actually contains server config utilities unlike the gui [09:03] hey guys...I screwed up my video...ati card tried to install fglrx, is there a way to go back to the origianl video that was working? [09:04] yoyit2, no you don't need the terminal if you have a root password on the server you are trying to connect to [09:04] Ubuntu 9.04 === Extremist is now known as exx0r === exx0r is now known as Exx0r [09:04] Geek`N`Proud: i think i do (its an iphone) [09:04] yoyit2, okay try that with root@ as opposed to mobile@ [09:05] yoyit2: you can connect to iphone using ssh, I think [09:05] yoyit2, if you don't have a root password then try ssh mobile@192.168.1.130 and login to the shell on it [09:05] is there a way send all sound to the spdif? [09:05] Is there a way to re-install original installation video install without doing a complete re-installation? [09:05] yoyit2, (ssh is a terminal command) [09:06] yoyit2, after that try sudo -i from the mobile's shell.. that will give you root - I don't know if the iphone would have a text editor or not [09:06] Hi, I am having an error with ubuntu 8.04 which installed by wubi. when I boot the error is : find --set-root --ignore-floppies /ubuntu/install/boot/grub/menu.lst Error 15: File not found [09:06] ross_ you can, if you know exactly what files missed. but it's difficult [09:06] could you help me? or just copy your current menu.lst to the pastebin so I just copy it. thanks [09:06] Brian88, GRUB installation failed.. just try an uninstall/reinstall of it [09:07] Geek`N`Proud: both times it said no file or directory [09:07] * LaZyFo0L apologises for asking in the irc chat before i googled. :-P wireless works perfect now. [09:07] shoot...followed rm fglrx instructions, but now I have blue screen on that machine. [09:07] I can boot to prompt [09:07] yoyit2, okay try ssh'ing into the iphone [09:07] Geek`N`Proud: ok im lost.. what?? [09:08] ross_ , at the grub menu, try to boot into single mode [09:08] Geek`N`Proud: Could you paste your /ubuntu/install/boot/grub/menu.lst to here (or to http://paste.ubuntu.com) so i just modify it? Thanks [09:08] Titan8990: well then I gotta buy another machine and I just can't afford that, scrap the "no-gui on server"-talk mate :P a server is just a computer with a slightly different purpose, it's a cheap server hardware for a test environment only, and gui just makes me feel better than sitting in terminal windows all day long trying to remember the commands. plus I really don't like nano for text... [09:08] ...editing, I work alot faster with mouse support than without it [09:08] acipd when started during boot, it is not running as any user. If I do a /etc/init.d/acpid restart it becomes user root. My problem is that when the acpid runns with no users, my scripts are not working properly. Should it run as no user? [09:08] Geek`N`Proud: like going to the "finder" and looking at the file checkpoint.xml? [09:08] Titan8990: and the reason for fluxbox/blackbox is just that it's lightweight, so it doesn't really affect the system anyway [09:08] Pingviller26, then why not save yourself the trouble, install desktop ubuntu and then install the server kernel? [09:09] if i boot into ubuntu as i live session can i see the xorg.conf file it is using? [09:09] yoyit2, no no no... ssh into the iphone from the Ubuntu box [09:09] at grub my options are generic; recovery mode; memtest [09:09] Pingviller26, or fluxbuntu where the menus and etc are already configured [09:09] ross_: recovery mode take you to single mode [09:09] k, booting [09:09] Pingviller26, and my suggestion of webmin, had nothing to do with a terminal [09:10] Geek`N`Proud: so in terminal type somthing? or go places - "iphone" (thorugh ssh)?? [09:10] Titan8990: that is probably easier yup [09:10] Pingviller26, it is a web interface [09:10] anyone? [09:10] if i boot into ubuntu as i live session can i see the xorg.conf file it is using? [09:10] at menu for recovery-now what [09:10] Titan8990: ah ok [09:10] enter to it, ross_ [09:10] generic1, yes, but it uses hal so it won't contain much [09:10] I'm trying to configure in.tftpd through xinetd on 8.04 server. The server runs as intended, but I'm trying to change the default umask on the files put into that dir. Earlier, "in.tftpd -U " worked, but the tftpd version installed from the repository doesn't seem to have the -U options. Any ideas on how I can change the default umask on files put into the tftp dir? [09:10] Anyone who have wubi-installed ubuntu, could you just paste your /ubuntu/install/boot/grub/menu.lst to the pastebin (paste.ubuntu.com) and then put the pastebin URL back here? I need it. Thanks.. [09:10] #ubuntu-powerpc is open for any ubuntu for mac users :) [09:10] yoyit2, in terminal type ssh mobile@192.168.1.130 [09:10] I have recovery menu - there is an option try to auto repair graphic problmes [09:11] yoyit2, put your password in, then try sudo -i in [09:11] Titan8990: what do you mean it uses hal? I will be using hal on my OS too [09:11] yoyit2, that should make you root on the iphone in theory, provided you're meant to be able to edit system files [09:11] ross_, maybe not, you should try to re-install driver for video card [09:11] nobody in brazilian room, please be patiant with me, it is ubuntu is installed, frist thing i need is to set up the grub default partition as windows xp, is tehre any gui via grapgic interface or i need to edit any file? i can remenber the basic vi commands. [09:11] I have some little problems with the following configuration: Jaunty, ATI card, dual monitor (different resolutions). Can anybody give me tips or pointers ? [09:11] generic1, it uses hal in combination with xorg.conf [09:12] generic1, xorg.conf will point out font paths while hal will determine which modules to load and how they should be configured [09:12] Geek`N`Proud: i got in, but sudo -i didnt work [09:12] anyone have experience with afp on ubuntu, I want to get rid of the Network Trash Folder and Temprary Items folders permanently [09:12] yoyit2, what did it say? [09:12] are there any apps for Gnome that will allow me to create keyboard shortcuts (such as "Win + H") that will cause "http://" to be outputted to the current input? [09:12] Geek`N`Proud: comand not found [09:12] generic1, so you should actually be able to run without a xorg.conf these days [09:12] tried autocorrect graphic problem...still blue screen [09:12] generic1, starting with xorg 1.5 [09:12] ptc: I know that its included in compiz [09:12] yoyit2, try su [09:13] Geek`N`Proud: su -i? [09:13] Titan8990:I know that but its not going as planned so i need an xorg.conf [09:13] yoyit2, just su [09:13] ptc: apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [09:13] generic1, dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg [09:13] ross_: what type of your card? [09:13] Geek`N`Proud: k, now im in "iphone:/var/mobile" [09:13] generic1, that will reconfigure your input devices and etc but video card will still be loaded via hal [09:13] How can I output all audio over spdif? [09:14] I had two in machine: one Radeon 1330; other some type motherboard Visontek [09:14] generic1, if you want to configure a video card (because maybe hal is not doing it correctly) it will need to be done manually [09:14] Titan8990:Im not gonna be using ubuntu i just need to see how its using my vid car [09:14] yoyit2, I don't know if the iphone has a text-editor for the shell or not... [09:14] Titan8990:or alleast the driver it is using [09:14] I was trying to update drivers to fix WoW error 132 and crashed whole video...now some of my wife's work email stuck on that machine and no video output [09:14] generic1, what are you going to be using? [09:14] Geek`N`Proud: this is the guid im following: http://marcansoft.com/blog/2009/01/using-amarok-and-other-itunesdb-compatible-software-with-the-iphone-2x/ [09:14] anyone have experience with afp on ubuntu, I want to get rid of the Network Trash Folder and Temprary Items folders permanently [09:15] Titan8990: archlinux [09:15] yoyit2, the way round that is to copy the config file you wish to change to an easily accessible place, edit it from Ubuntu and then copy it back as root [09:15] Please, where is the grub file i need to edit? [09:15] I took Radeon out to try and get video back. I rm fglrx from command prompt [09:15] Geek`N`Proud: ok, how? [09:15] no luck [09:15] Wazzzaaa: i installed, but can't find the app itself. how do i get to it? [09:15] yoyit2, cp /path/to/file /path/to/copy/to [09:15] Wazzzaaa: nevermind found it [09:16] yoyit2, or even better... try this: [09:16] found [09:16] there is no way just to put original video config back that was working before I tried installing fglrx? [09:16] yoyit2, chmod 777 /path/to/file [09:16] yoyit2, then you can edit it directly from Ubuntu without copying [09:16] generic1, i really don't understand what you are trying to do and why [09:16] whats chmod 777?? [09:16] my home folder is my desktop, but i dont want it to be, what the heck is wrong and how do i fix this? [09:16] yoyit2, it changes filesystem permissions [09:16] yoyit2, chmod changez permissinz [09:16] * Liquidity_C is away: AFK [09:16] yoyit2, 777 means everyone has read/write access [09:16] generic1, you want to see how hal configures your video card in ubuntu so you can attempt to reproduce the same effects in gentoo?: [09:17] yoyit2, and the ability to execute it if it's a binary (which it isn't) [09:17] generic1, when you could have just as easily found out what you should be using via google? [09:17] Geek`N`Proud, yoyit2: Please don't recommend changing file permissions to get around administrative permission... things... [09:17] Titan8990: YEs in archlinux and no my laptob is about 3 months old (model wise) [09:17] generic1, what is the video card? [09:17] yoyit2, anyway.. that should let you edit that file without being root afterwards... then after you've edited it change it back with chmod 644 [09:18] Titan8990: intel 4 serise [09:18] generic1, i can tell you that you have gone about it wrong [09:18] generic1, driver "intel" [09:18] Geek`N`Proud: so i went chmod 777 /home/daniel/desktop/chekpoint.xml it didnt do anything [09:18] Titan8990: I know [09:18] yoyit2, yes it did [09:18] Wazzzaaa: after looking around a bit, i don't see anything. is it a third-party plugin? [09:18] generic1, sudo lshw [09:18] yoyit2, try editing it from Ubuntu's GUI now [09:18] my home folder is my desktop, but i want it to be ~/Desktop, how do i fix this? [09:18] Anyone who have wubi-installed ubuntu, could you just paste your /ubuntu/install/boot/grub/menu.lst to the pastebin (paste.ubuntu.com) and then put the pastebin URL back here? I need it. Thanks.. [09:19] yoyit2, no output means it worked.. that is the way UNIX systems operate [09:19] Flannel, erm... when there's no text editor to otherwise edit it? (it's an iphone!) [09:19] Titan8990: oh yeah and do you know why font look so much better in ubunut? [09:19] facing problem while opening the date and time option in administration>> [09:19] says The configuration could not be loaded [09:19] generic1, fonts are defined in xorg.conf [09:19] Flannel, also.. if it was a local issue i'd recommend gksudo gedit.. but it isn't [09:19] generic1, likely need to be installed in arch [09:19] You are not allowed to access the system configuration. [09:19] can some one tell me the problem ?? [09:20] I am the root user >> [09:20] hi, how do I hide "recent documents" so that no one can see them? [09:20] what is the command for xfce menu [09:20] !root | R [09:20] R: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [09:20] Titan8990: actually i used the same fonts in arch [09:20] Homepage Error: 91 Object variable not set Line: 13 Sub/Function: INITIALIZED [09:20] R: unlocking root is not supported here [09:20] ross_, sorry, my computer freeze, and I cannot find what type of your video card [09:20] generic1, no idea then [09:20] wanting to build a sweet email server with a LOT of extras if anyone has server experience...?

[09:20] racecar56, pm [09:20] sudo passwd root, then give root a password [09:21] Any Lotus/Ubuntu guru's know how to fix? [09:21] Titan8990, it's already unlocked [09:21] racecar56, please do NOT recommend that here. It goes against all of Ubuntu's security practices. [09:21] Titan8990, sudo -i gives you a root shell [09:21] anyone have experience with afp on ubuntu, I want to get rid of the Network Trash Folder and Temprary Items folders permanently [09:21] Titan8990 ubottu I am not trying to unlock the root And That thing I know Please read my complete query [09:21] Geek`N`Proud, that doesn't make it unlocked [09:21] Madpilot, k [09:21] Titan8990: Thats what i said but after a couple months in arch and u look at ubunut I mean wow its impressive how good the fonts look [09:22] my home folder is my desktop, but i want it to be ~/Desktop, how do i fix this? [09:22] Titan8990, sure it does.. it's as unlocked as making /bin/bash setuid... it doesn't matter if you use sudo -i or su.. it's still unlocked [09:22] generic1, fonts in a framebuffer are good enough for me.... [09:22] and do you know where i can look at hals conf? [09:22] racecar56, pm [09:22] generic1, hehe [09:23] generic1, yes but its very crapy xml style configurations, a step down from xorg imo [09:23] Titan8990: honestly ive never had to config hal [09:23] generic1, /etc/hal/fdi [09:23] in /etc/X11 I have default-display-manager and app-defaults. will either of these install the default video config from initial installation? [09:23] Titan8990: where then? [09:23] Titan8990: thx [09:23] How can I do Perl in Ubuntu? [09:23] Geek`N`Proud: so i did it on the one on my desktop but i cant replace the one on the phone with it. so i tried chmod 777 /sftp://mobile@192.168.1.130/System/Library/Lockdown/Checkpoint.xml and it says "no file or directory" [09:24] I think Sun Netbeans full package is free and lets you do Java, Perl, and C++ [09:24] yoyit2, right.. don't use the sftp:// path for that command... you need to be SSH'ed into the iphone.. chmod 777 that file FROM THERE, then you need to edit it using the GUI [09:25] yoyit2, if you chmod'ed the file from inside the shell then all you need to do is edit the file from the GUI like you'd do with a normal file [09:25] racecar56-> open configuration editor from system tools and go to /apps/nautilus/preferences/desktop_is_home_dir and check it. [09:25] Titan8990: wtf hal has like 2 lines? [09:26] can I get system to redetect the video from the command prompt? [09:26] quick question when using ext4 with 3 gigs of ram what is a good swap size [09:26] and install appropriat drivers? [09:26] generic1, no, they expect you to add your own files of xmls....

[09:28] yoyit2, su into root in there [09:29] any one? [09:29] noobie, 1GB or so [09:29] * BePhantom away [09:29] oops [09:29] abcminiuser: are you talking about a login shell [09:30] noobie, swap is not a big deal.. the system won't even use it most likely with 3GB of RAM [09:30] ok will to much slow down the system? [09:30] No, from Gnome [09:30] noobie, no it won't.. [09:30] thanks [09:30] How do I open a terminal with root permissions? [09:30] SeVilla: I want to be able to run a command line app from a script each time the system resumes [09:30] noobie, on Windows it does because swap is a file.. that means it can fragment easily.. with Linux it's a partition, so that is not the case [09:30] hi people, is any other xrandr configuration tool than gnome default? KDE4 konfiguration applet is broken but I need to get randr configured there [09:31] gso, open a terminal, then do sudo -i [09:31] !sudo | gso [09:31] gso: 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) [09:31] gso, put in your password and you'll become root [09:31] hi, is there a way to change text dokument encoding to another? [09:31] Geek`N`Proud: Linux has swap files and swap partition [09:32] Geek`N`Proud: it worked!! [09:32] gso: or you can just sudo su to be in your working directory [09:32] SkyNetMaster: iconv [09:32] also sudo gnome-terminal works [09:32] abcminiuser: you know im not sure about that [09:32] whatvn, it's possible to use files yes, but they stay fixed in place and the same as a partition [09:32] SeVilla: I've seen it done before; I'll just Google it a bit more [09:33] I want a shortcut icon and when I run it I have root permissions is it possible? I try gksudo gnome-terminal but I don't success [09:33] whatvn, therefore no fragmentation either way [09:33] (partitions themselves are just files after all ;) [09:33] !xrandr [09:33] XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X.

[09:34] erm, why are you running gnome-terminal with sudo? [09:34] I've already customized my .bashrc and other files, but not this [09:34] Geek`N`Proud, the same [09:34] abcminiuser: oh good luck [09:35] go to system->preference ->main menu [09:35] Then select where you want the icon... [09:35] in the command box use gksudo gnome-terminal [09:35] SeViLLa: Aha! I need to place my script in /etc/pm/sleep.d/ [09:35] gso, have a look at gnome-terminal --help [09:35] gso, a way round it could be to make gnome-terminal execute a script which runs sudo -i [09:36] gso, as in making a file like: [09:37] #!/bin/bash [09:37] sudo -i [09:37] then each time you clicked it, it would ask for a password and make you root without running gnome-terminal as root [09:37] Geek`N`Proud, ok I run gnome-terminal -e "sudo -i" in my shortcut [09:38] gso, yeah, that or make a shortcut to a bash script and check the box "Run in Terminal" =] [09:38] whichever works best for you [09:39] hi [09:43] has anyone have step by step guide / link to make startup service in ubuntu?. i want make zebedee run as service. please help...

[09:47] Ubuntu 9.04 mostly does not remember my keyboard settings (repeat speed, repeat delay). It is extremely annoying. I have googled without success. Can someone point me to some helpful information on how to fix this? [09:50] stippi: what do you mean by mostly? [09:50] stippi: sometimes it does work? [09:51] Chr|s: Like sometimes they are restored, for example when I boot, but they are back to defaults when waking up from stand-by. Sometimes they do work after stand-by. Sometimes they are back to defaults right after booting. The values in the Keyboard preflet are always correct, I just have to move the sliders slightly forth and back and have my personal settings. [09:52] stippi: have you checked launchpad to see if their are any bugs related to keyboars when the system goes on standy-by [09:53] Since I made an upgrade to jaunty I have no bash history anymore. Can someone help me with that? [09:53] Chr|s: I did search in the support forums, and it appears to find tickets also. But none of them look like the bug I see. [09:54] Chr|s: If you have a more specific URL where I can search, that would be appreciated. [09:54] stippi: alright, I am going to take a quick look, also what kind of keyboard format do you use [09:54] hi... i have a lg lxu800 usb dialer that i use to connect to the net... /me having problems with wvdial.. someone here who could help me?

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 [10:00] Chr|s: Is Ubuntu using a "per keyboard" setting? [10:00] hello all. I trying to change my partion size but it is not allowed. Under flags it says boot. How would i clear this flag? [10:00] indus, yes I have! And i also compared that file with another installations .bashrc and it is indeed the exact same file (on the other installation it works fine) [10:00] stippi: it shouldn't, but its always good to test. Keyboards do go bad new/old [10:00] whatvn, I installed a ATI which were not recommend but shown in EnvyNG and now I see only black screen with mixed colours :P [10:01] whatvn, but no worries I will find out. [10:01] :P [10:01] Gourlis: you're in the way to be expert, keep going, man! :p [10:02] adac: so u mean you dont see anything when you press the up or down arrows? [10:02] whatvn, lol from 11 years old I always mess up with things :P [10:02] brb [10:02] Chr|s: Maybe you didn't understand. This cannot be a problem of the keyboard. I can rule this out already. It should be clear from my description that it's Ubuntu simply forgetting the settings. Or rather to apply the settings to the keyboard. The correct settings are there in the preflet. But they simply are not applied many times and I have to go to the preflet again to nudge a slider and then suddenly the settings are applied to the keyboard [10:02] whatvn, I will try to install a fresh ubuntu 8.04 on the partition :P [10:03] indus, yes [10:03] in appearance preferances i try to turn on visual affects and get error saying desktop effects could not be enabled anyone know why this is [10:03] my graphics card drivers are installed as far as i know [10:03] anyone here who can help me with a problem on a usn dialer? wvidalconf is completed, but i cant connect to the isp... [10:03] indus, While I'm logged in it is fine but when i do a restart the history is gone [10:03] system404: Your driver does not support them. [10:03] Gourlis: I think you don't need, we better fix problem than pull it away. [10:03] it must its a quite recent laptop [10:04] adac: you seem to have some script which does that in .bash_history [10:04] 512mb graphics card [10:04] anyone have an ati radeon 2600 hd working with fglrx? [10:04] adac: do you have such a file? [10:04] adac: history -c clears bash history [10:05] is there a tool to check for driver updates for all my hardware [10:05] !alsa [10:05] 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 [10:05] Why is it that always when I install a new Ubuntu version something totally basic is completely broken? First the network manager, then the session management, and now my keyboard settings are always back to defaults? How can it be that such things slip into releases all the time?! [10:05] stippi: I'm not sure what else to tell you. Maybe, stay in here and idle for awhile. Hopefully someone can help you out with this problem better than I could. [10:05] Hello. When I'm SSHed into a remote machine, is there any way to easily copy files back to the local machine? Or is the scp command from the local machine the only option? [10:06] is there a tool to check for driver updates for all my hardware [10:06] Is this where all the windows haters come from? [10:06] whatvn, yeah if I found out how to remove the installed package I just installed it will be fine. But if I don't I'll use the other way :) [10:06] can anyone help me with a dsl connection problem? [10:06] Chr|s: Thanks a lot for trying, at least! I think I should start looking around for other Linux distros. The quality control in Ubuntu just disappoints me more and more with each release. [10:06] Saren: most of [10:06] ShishKabab: The other way is to run ssh on your local machine, and then scp (on the remote machine) from the 'local' to 'remote'. But, obviously, that's not simpler than just scp in the first place. [10:06] Okay. [10:06] saren: windows haters come from all over [10:06] indus, yes I have such a file. And now I see what the problem is: For some reason this file seems belong to root [10:07] stippi mint is top notch [10:07] Chr|s, can I format a partition and install ubuntu on it if you know? [10:07] im actually in my second day of linux and im almost ready to totally wipe windows 7 from my machine i love ubuntu so much allready [10:07] Gourlis: what you apt-get install before, apt-get remove it now. what lines you add to somewhere, remove it. [10:07] stippi: I beg to differ, every machine has unique problems. [10:07] I have a question. [10:07] ShishKabab: What's difficult regarding scp? You can also use sftp, which most graphical FTP clients support, so it's just like good old fashioned FTP [10:07] I installed Sabayon, but Sabayon took over my GRUB but now I want to uninstall Sabayon.

Delete the Sabayon partition then reinstall GRUB by running sudo apt-get install grub [10:08] Chr|s: For the problems I just mentioned, just google them. There appear to be a lot of people suffering form them. [10:08] bash_history , or you can just comment the line in the file which deletes history [10:08] ShishKabab u could try to use netcat to copy the files, especially if they arent very large... [10:08] is there a tool to check for driver updates for all my hardware [10:08] Gourlis: then apt-get remove EnvyNG [10:08] can someone help me with a DSL problem? If I leave the comupter for a long time I will disconnect. Windows and Mandriva do nto have this problem [10:08] i just wana make sure it all up to date [10:08] system404: what kind of drivers [10:08] indus I made a chown on that file. Thx for your support! [10:08] my graphics sound wireless everything really [10:08] whatvn, yes but it will remove also ATI package ? [10:08] Chr|s: I could imagine that a lot of people simply do not change the keyboard preferences, so they don't notice that they are always back to defaults, or at least a lot of times. [10:09] adac: okie === DaZ is now known as daz [10:09] stippi: I would file a bug on launchpad and see what they say. That would be my best bet. If you have any other problems as well, check the bug data base to be sure. [10:09] Gourlis: I must go out now, see you next time. I don't know, but if it remove ATI pakages, you then re-installed it easily [10:09] system404: update manager does check and give you updates for all things hardware and software [10:09] Flannel: It's just that if you're doing something on the remote machine via SSH, you'd have to logout or create another tab to copy a file, which isn't very handy... [10:09] I installed Sabayon, but Sabayon took over my GRUB but now I want to uninstall Sabayon. [10:09] Gourlis: see you later [10:09] stippi: Yeah I'm not sure :( for the mean time, just don't go on stand-by :D [10:09] whatvn, thanks for your time today bro. take care :) [10:09] I installed Sabayon, but Sabayon took over my GRUB but now I want to uninstall Sabayon. [10:09] system404: for proprietary drivers you have restricted drivers in system>admin [10:10] ok indus so i take it if update manager says nothing available that means nothing available then [10:10] Gourlis: thank you! [10:10] ooo [10:10] whatvn, at least I have the OS I need more. [10:10] indus, I still keep asking me how that would have happenend that this history file belonged to root. I truly never set this by myself... did someone hacked me ;) [10:10] :D [10:10] system404: yeah [10:10] system404: of course use the latest ubuntu for the latest drivers [10:10] i use 9.04 [10:10] can someone help me with a DSL problem?

I'll guess I'll keep using SCP. [10:12] indus, I'm sure i just don't remember it and the mistake was made by me :) [10:12] hey, I got two NIC's on my server, and after installing it, only one NIC shows up when doing "ifconfig" and I really really need two NIC's to get my shit working properly. how do install or get it to detect the other NIC ? no gui [10:12] indus, Well I don't think someone should be able to use my system.

USB and sound are both gone. [10:16] Toby so what would make it drop?

[11:20] oh, like in DOS? [11:20] yeah I suppose [11:20] gordonjcp, when i put "/" where it will be installed ? [11:20] karex: Alright, well, having a newer version shouldn't be a problem.

But, what should happen is the newer version of antlr is downloaded, along with whatever newer version of the package that needed -10 (and now needs -11) is. [11:23] gordonjcp, heh yeah. Just scared to move on :P I wanna be sure that when I select the partition to be formatted as Ext3 and Mount on: / to be installed on that partition only.

So, I'm going through Manual Partitioning, I select "Edit Partition", I select also format as Ext3 and Mount on: "/" and then a format will take action and it will install a new fresh ubuntu on 30GB partition. [11:28] Gourlis: sounds about right [11:28] Gourlis: and the swap partition is probably picked up automatically [11:29] gordonjcp, yes as I saw before I have a swap space under 30GB partition.

[12:29] silv3r_m00n: startknotes is just so you know what it is, you could call it yellow_submarine and it would do the same thing [12:29] silv3r_m00n: try running it in a terminal and you'll see.. for that full hands on experience [12:29] silv3r_m00n: ln -s means make a symbolic link (like a windows shortcut [12:29] silv3r_m00n: which, locate, whereis are nice commands to know [12:29] what does which knotes means ?

I am trying to create a shortcut (e.g. ALT + R) to start Console in KDE 4.2.2 (Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04), but I seem to lack the skills to figure out how. Any tips? [12:32] silv3r_m00n: ok so we can use this functionality in commands and scripts [12:33] hi [12:33] hi [12:33] * Slart checks if he has ended up in #kubuntu.. =) [12:33] silv3r_m00n: we dont need to know where the binary for apps is stored, nor do we care, we can use which to tell us [12:33] I have epiphany, Arora, SeaMonkey, Galeon, Midbrowser, Kazehakase, Firefox. Most of them handle flash and "work" more often, I have a preference for firefox when flash isn't present.....right now it is, and it isn't responsive enough for me to close the tab it's on. [12:33] ActionParsnip: really useful... I often used locate [12:33] I'm currently using Ubuntu Desktop Edition to host various daemons for my network (NIS, NFS, Apache, MySQL, Asterisk, Citadel, etc)... What will I stand to gain from switching to Ubuntu Server Edition? [12:33] silv3r_m00n: so it makes a symlink to whatever binary is ran when you type knotes [12:33] silv3r_m00n: its not like locate [12:33] is there a difference between locate and which ? [12:33] hi, im trying to change a partion size in Gparted but i have a flag next to the partion that says boot. I think i need to clear this flag before i can change the size. I have tried chkdisk and that didnt work. Any ideas? [12:34] fine got it [12:34] silv3r_m00n: locate finds more than which, which will only show binary files in your $PATH [12:34] hello, i have a trust mouse with lot of buttons, I would like to push 2 of them to switch between desktop spaces in compiz. Is it possible? [12:34] areay: you don't have to shut down X once you've booted it, to save memory [12:34] it looks like my machine has difficulities making the option to be what it sounds like [12:34] bob_dole banish Firefox for a bit [12:34] areay: I think the kernel is a little different when it comes to performance settings and such.. PAE is enabled for one thing [12:34] silv3r_m00n: the last bit ./startknotes is just a name and is completly tangiable, it can be anything you like. Itsjust a link to a file [12:35] Bob_Dole I've noticed sometimes Firefox kind of spikes in system usage [12:35] yeah now understood all of it ... thanks [12:36] Slart, cool... I'm still planning on using it as a desktop too... so when i'm done configuring i just do "apt-get install (k)ubuntu-desktop" right? [12:36] yay, tab closed... music that was in the flash is still playing o_o [12:36] silv3r_m00n: you can make opera jump up if you want with ln -s `which opera` ~/.kde/Autostart/opera_is_awesome_and_i_want_it_to_run_when_i_\login [12:36] silv3r_m00n: etc [12:36] areay: I think that will work.. I've never tried it myself though [12:36] Slart, well, wish me luck :P [12:37] areay: break a leg, or.. get a kernel panic .. or whatever the equivalent is =) [12:37] Slart, haha [12:37] silv3r_m00n: if you run echo $PATH you will see where which looks for the binary name [12:37] yeah [12:38] cant still install at the deb.. [12:38] Noone? [12:38] If i change root password, will it ask for password when i log in recovery mode? [12:38] syntaxxx: sudo dpkg --force-all -i [12:38] As i remember ,recovery mode doesnt ask for password for login [12:39] indus: yes, i believe it will nowadays. [12:39] why did it keep playing the flash from the tab I closed, anyways? *force quits FF* [12:39] Where I can download Ubuntu packages, available in Add/Remove programms ? I mean, if I don't have an internet connection but I want to install some of them, how can I get them manually to write into a CD ? [12:39] If I manually edit a network device eg: eth0; how do i save it? [12:39] indus as long as you dont have one [12:39] indus: if you just change the password nothing will change.. except the password.. if you enable the root password I have no idea what it will do... [12:40] indus: any reason you want a root password? sudo doesn't do it for you?

[12:41] Slart: yeah i want to get to my roots :P [12:41] Where I can download Add/Remove packages manually ( need to save them as I will have no internet con for a while ) ? [12:41] indus: fair enough.. =) [12:42] neer: from the information you supplied it can be anything from the power cord not being connected to a bug in the software..

For example, Ubuntu restricted package - how it's called in CLI apt-get ? [12:44] so it is impossible to create an arbitary shortcut in KDE 4.2.2, that will e.g. start konsole?

I still got a lot of errors about things not being loaded and such [12:51] awesome slart [12:51] syntaxxx: ok here's the bigest hammer i have: gksudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/at.postrm [12:51] to work quite well [12:51] Last time I ran X as root...

I installed Ubuntu Jaunty on my HP 2140 with no particular partition assigned to it. Dual-booting works fine, love to have both Ubuntu and XP. But I really want to get both my docs and music from my drive on both systems. The problem here is really Ubuntu; I don't find the docs or music on the system.

[12:53] syntaxxx: you basically need to comment out that if statement. Then you should be able to pull out at [12:53] shyam, what are you trying to do? [12:53] syntaxxx: then reinstall it [12:53] cambridgecow: studying about how ubuntu installation disk works.. [12:53] lol Bob_Dole [12:53] sipior: thanks [12:54] shyam, do you want to make your own livecd/ [12:54] ? [12:54] Cambridge: I did try to mount it, but can't since it's the same disc. I only get to mount external NTFS-discs [12:54] promet: "Check rootdelay" [12:54] reinstall it via the force dpkg? [12:54] Quigonjr, how can it be the same disk if you didn't partition the drive? [12:54] promet: [12:54] promet: are you there? [12:55] Promet; the other way around. I would like to share documents from windows to Ubuntu [12:55] syntaxxx: sudo apt-get --purge remove at; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install at [12:55] neer: "check roodelay" I can honestly say I've never seen that one before === _brEz is now known as brEz [12:55] neer: is that right after the machine boots?

[12:56] ------- [12:56] AFK-BRB [12:57] Cambrigde: You can install Ubuntu with winboot.

[12:58] Hi, I am from Poland and I am asking you do you now anything about adpters (drivers) to printer in Ubuntu? [12:58] how do i open up the compiz config fing again [12:58] Quigonjr, if you use my fullname it makes it easier for me.... if your using WUBI then I can't help you there, i've never used it before but you still should be able to mount the NTFS disk... anyway I would recommend you actually partition the disk, its safe and easy and you can do it with the liveCD [12:58] !ccsm [12:58] To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [12:58] my Kubuntu is not detecting my second DVD burner. It detects my DVD reader very well though, any idea how to fix this? [12:58] system404: ccsm [12:58] cheers slart [12:58] system404: it's in system, preferences [12:58] promet: because I used to like 8.04 a lot [12:58] If I am installing my pirnters error is whowing [12:58] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/d41431584 [12:58] promet: it was very good..then this upgrade came up and now I am using windows xp..... [12:59] indus, ? if you mean my "ubuntu 8.04 changed my opinion about ubuntu" I couldn't tolerate it for long periods of time prior to 8.04, but with 8.04 I actually decided to stick with 1 linux distro, without windows for anything. [12:59] can i make my windows see through slightly [12:59] eh.. [13:00] system404, yes use compiz [13:00] Bob_Dole: well its my fav too 8.04 [13:00] is there a way to get Gnome to automatically mount an ssh/scp server on session startup? I want to automate the "connected to server..." workflow [13:00] cambridgecow: Ok, I'll perhaps do that. Thanks anyway. Have a good one! [13:00] Bob_Dole: i hate jaunty [13:00] but nvm [13:00] cratel, yes create a script that does the mount and run the script on startup [13:00] Jaunty is the bees knees! [13:00] syntaxxx: try reditting the file again, then instead of using apt-get to install, use a dpkg force install style [13:00] Jaunty is the only thing that boots on my current hardware, 8.04 and 8.10 lock-up. Alt. install doesn't help. [13:00] promet: it also says " missing modules (cat /proc/modules) [13:00] cambridgecow: the only way I know how to do that is sshfs, which is very buggy. I want Gnome to do the mount. So what would be in a script for that? [13:00] I just added a sound card to my system. How do I find out if ubuntu recognized/installed it? [13:00] hey [13:01] cambridgecow, is the same man, i cannot find hotway [13:01] edit to what.. action [13:01] cafree: sudo lshw -C sound [13:01] cratel, how can you mount an ssh server without using sshfs? [13:01] syntaxxx: how it was with the comments but with set -e uncommented [13:01] cambridgecow: in Gnome: places -> connect to server... [13:01] ICARO_YO, http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=hotway [13:01] regarding packages.ubuntu.com - ubuntu-restricted-extras .deb is only 3kb ( instead of 55Mb as it should be ) - why it is so ? [13:02] going to login on another "proper typing machine" brb [13:02] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/d3d0b74f7 [13:02] and that doesn't use sshfs? [13:02] GnomeLead: it's probably a meta-package [13:02] cambridgecow: no it doesn't. I didn't even have sshfs installed and that works. Gnome does some sort of linking in a directory called .gvfs I think. [13:03] syntaxxx: i'd see if someone else can help, if it starts takig an age ten a reinstall may be the only way [13:03] ActionParsnip, thanks. Looks like it's recognized. Is there a sound setup process? How does it know to use that versus my integrated sound card? [13:03] =( [13:03] GnomeLead: ie it depends on some other packages.. so instead of installing them all you just install one and it pulls the other ones in [13:03] cratel, this is actually peaking my interest [13:03] syntaxxx: either that or no app installs / uninstalls for you [13:03] Slart: I'm looking for an offline installation package - can I get it from there or it just gives you a link to all packages ? [13:03] ok :( [13:03] when I do "mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows -o ro", I get that mount point /mnt/windows does not exist. How do I create a mount point? [13:04] cambridgecow: well FWIW I've had lots of troubles with machine lockups etc. with sshfs and never a problem with mounting through Gnome. [13:04] GnomeLead, aptoncd [13:04] cambridgecow, ok i understand is for 64 but im 32 [13:04] syntaxxx: not so hard to reinstall, your home dir holds settings so the configs can easily be restored from a backup [13:04] GnomeLead: it depends on 10 or so packages.. you want the names? [13:04] syntaxxx: a seperate home partition is ideal [13:04] ActionParsnip: thanks.. [13:04] ICARO_YO, those are packages for AMD64 and i386 [13:04] Svish: cd /mnt && mkdir windows [13:04] ICARO_YO, Ive never seen a package that is for 64bit and not for 32 bit as well [13:05] What do I do when none of Gnome's keyboard shortcuts work anymore? Eg Alt+L to lock the screen and my volume-buttons on the keyboard as well. [13:05] mobi-sheep: aha... thanks :D [13:05] GnomeLead, or just remaster a cd with the packages added [13:05] ActionParsnip: ill be going now.. [13:05] mobi-sheep: that will need to be sudo mkdir windows [13:05] Slart: I see the names - what I wanted to know, is there a way to download it as a package ( with all these 10 apps inside ) ? [13:05] ICARO_YO, doesn't mean they couldn't exist, i've just never seen them [13:05] syntaxxx: try again later [13:05] I just reinstalled 9.04 (ubuntu studio this time) and my audio isn't working correctly on my new Dell laptop that has Intel Audio built into it and the Alsa drivers are configured to run. [13:05] Svish: Add sudo too. [13:05] Thanks ActionParsnip . [13:05] GnomeLead: I don't think so.. afaik you have to get the packages, one by one [13:05] cant find the setting to make my windows see through in compiz [13:05] GnomeLead: you can of course create a download script from synaptic [13:06] GnomeLead: that way you don't have to do all the work by hand [13:06] Can someone help me with fixing Grub Error 22?

[13:08] i just want them a lil see through like in 7 === aryah____ is now known as aryah [13:08] GnomeLead: why not see if you can create a package cache.. there are some packages that do that.. then it will automatically save any package you request in a local cache.. it's very useful if you're going to install 50 ubuntu computers.. you don't have to download each package 50 times [13:08] cratel, one thing you can do is run: nautilus sftp:// [13:08] hi all, user xyz is in group xyz and group users, by default when they create a file under /somedir which is listed as being owned by xyz.users the new file created belongs to xyz.xyz, how can I get the new file to belong to xyz.users by default?

[13:39] jake: jaunty had some problems with intel graphics [13:40] i am trying to get desktop effects turned on (my starting point to see if my graphics work on any machine) and it looks for drivers and says no === grawity_ is now known as grawity [13:40] Slart, are there any known fixes or do i just have to wait? [13:40] jake: yep, thats fine. So you actually get to the normal ubuntu desktop just fine? [13:41] ziroday, yes i am talking to you as we speak on xchat on the gnome desktop [13:41] jake: I'm not sure.. I haven't read up on it any more, I don't have any computers with intel graphics.. it might already be fixed for all I know [13:41] jake: right, yes there are performance regressions with the new intel drivers, in some cases causing compositing to fail. One sec [13:42] it looks like they've found the issues though... now to fix them :) [13:43] jake try rebooting, some times it takes a few boots for the video card to be detected [13:43] jake: take a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance I strongly recommend trying to enable UXA, if that doesn't work then trying (if there is) newer drivers from the xorg-edgers PPA [13:43] cambridgecow, a few boots? i have rebooted 4 times so far... should i need to do it any more? [13:44] ziroday, thanks, i will give that a go and see what happens [13:45] jake: yep, I recommend going through that wikipage a couple times to understand it, usually people find upon enabling UXA that they get 3D back, but with other issues. If you have a model number I can try find out what they are [13:45] or you can leave :) [13:45] AmbrNewlearner13: any luck on that information?

[13:59] it's happening in some places with task tray icon hover popups, and just generally is really hard to work with. [13:59] how about using USB 8GB ? will work? my laptop support usb boot [13:59] Slart, on the terminal, i changes from system font to monospaced, size and all, wouldn't fix it.

[14:01] NET||abuse: my terminal doesn't look like that.. what version of ubuntu are you running? [14:02] Just noticing it in terminal now since jaunty update, [14:02] hi i cant play my dvd in ubuntu 9.04. ihave all the latest drivers etc. it says this--> Could not open location; you might not have permission to open the file. does anyone know how to solve this.? thanks [14:02] Slart, just updated to Jaunty today [14:02] Lyez system-admin-synaptic make sure you have all repos enabled in sources === zaggynl_ is now known as zaggynl [14:02] ok thanks [14:02] Lyez: apt-cache search xchat will search for packages named xchat [14:02] NET||abuse: and you're running compiz? ie desktop effects?

[14:05] i still don't know linux architecture Xor1ng, can't read disk [14:05] Oh, i have the nvidia 180.11 driver installed from the bin installer. [14:05] what's the command to redetect the soundcard? [14:05] windows has only 3 folders for default system, but linux has tons of em [14:05] but this i think was happening without that driver. [14:05] NET||abuse the nvidia driver should not be an issue, [14:06] i think it was already hapening on the web under interpid packaged driver [14:06] NET||abuse do you have a sep /home partition>? [14:06] nicely the jaunty notification bubles are unaffected [14:06] Jack_Sparrow, you saying re-install? :) [14:06] I installed ubuntu server and told it to automatically install security updates.

[14:07] NET||abuse: tried updating that? I think 180.44 is the current binary driver [14:07] scottj_: no. [14:07] how many xubuntu users are here? ^^ [14:07] scottj_: I don't think no sane system every restarted automatically [14:07] Slart, i think they have issues with .44, .11 works [14:07] sipior: what about restart services? [14:07] scottj_: and ubuntu is sane =) [14:07] NET||abuse: oh.. ok [14:07] NET||abuse I have a sep /home and a it makes stamoping a fresh os on it much easier, you could also dual boot a second ubuntu if needed and you have a partition available [14:07] Slart, oh wait, i'm on 180.55 :) [14:08] is there a way to disable my second desktop i keep goin on to it by accident and gettin confused with whats open where n shit [14:08] Slart, oh wait, i'm on 180.51,, arrrg, stupid keyboard. [14:08] scottj_: assuming the package directs that to happen pre- and post-install, yes. [14:08] elo [14:08] hi [14:08] NET||abuse: hehe.. I don't really think the nvidia driver is responsible for drawing glyphs on the screen.. but it might be worth checking [14:08] Slart, i think there is a more up to date one, but people were giving out saying an earlier one was safer, so i stuck on that one, so that must be 180.51, [14:08] pierdolcie sie [14:08] kurwa [14:09] system404: are you using desktop effects?

[14:24] =p [14:25] Dr_Willis, my dvd is mounted under /media/ +the name of the disc [14:25] Pici: 6.06? =0 [14:25] I remember he told me several times "Don't upgrade the ubuntu in the servers, because it has LTS" [14:25] viric our #ubuntu-server people may be able to help [14:25] Ubuntu won't last long on the servers .:) [14:25] * nathan7 hands viric money for an asassin [14:25] sean2009: I dont have to mount a dvd video disk in order to play it. [14:25] Dr_Willis, if i go to the directory and type --> chmod 755 +R * it says write only [14:26] I prefer Debain for servers. [14:26] Debian even. [14:26] sean2009: ie.. with vlc i can play it without MOUNTING it... YOU DONT chmod the files.. you are going about it the wrong way [14:26] I prefer #ubuntu-offtopic for not support chatter [14:26] sean2009: i can play a dvd with 'vlc' for example by the command --> $ vlc dvd:///dev/dvd [14:26] Where is the list of all Ubuntu channels on IRC ? [14:26] no you don't want to mount a dvd to play it. your media player will do all that automagically. you only mount it if you want to read the files on the disk [14:26] !irc | rohit [14:26] rohit: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [14:27] Dr_Willis, the disc actually mounts itself on the desktop, but denies me permission to access files for exaample the video files [14:27] thank you for your answers, anyway. Finally I knew the servers don't run a LTS. [14:27] sean2009: dont worry about the desktop icon.. the player should handle it.. you are in NO way every going to 'chmod' the files ON a optical disk like that. [14:27] sean2009: check the permissions on the properties of the dis [14:27] disc** [14:28] viric: dont be to bad on the sysadmin.. you could sprain an ancle or something =) [14:28] Dr_Willis Could he not have the right group permissions [14:28] sean2009: you may want to tyr somthing other then totem also to play dvd's - I suggest intalling 'vlc' and 'gmplayer' [14:28] magician0617, ok thanks i'll try that [14:28] ok ive edited the menu list wat was that command to refresh it again [14:28] system404: sudo update-grub [14:28] How to disable composite in xorg in ubuntu 9.04 ?

[14:29] shal3r: ah.. that might be true.. [14:30] Slart, it is true [14:30] system404 sudo nano is one of the cli editors if you need to fix that [14:30] bah.. ankle.. not ancle.. my english teacher is spinning in her... office..

[14:33] Dr_Willis, also right clicking on the disc & permissions, it says the permissions cant be determined? [14:33] sean2009: thats normal [14:33] blanked out as in you cant click on them though they are there [14:33] sean2009: what does the 'groups' command show then? [14:34] bootninja: can you pastebin the results from this "cat /proc/asound/cards" [14:34] !pastebin | bootninja [14:34] bootninja: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

(not a good idea but this is a 'test') [14:36] btw wat is the mem test option in grub for do i really need that there [14:36] system404 not needed [14:36] slart, http://paste.ubuntu.com/175660/ [14:36] kl i do away with that aswell then [14:36] Can someone tell me why I can't get CCSM roating cube to work? [14:36] hello, what LTS means? [14:36] system404 just # rem it out [14:36] # rem [14:36] myeggo Long Term Support [14:36] ??? [14:36] system404: it's useful if you for example can't boot any more and what to see if it's your memory that has lost it's magic [14:36] Computer_Man Do you have wobbley windows now [14:36] ok i'll try hold on. [14:37] bootninja: it means is the most stable version? [14:37] how to kill update-notifier and make him to not work in the background? it's wasting 22mb. [14:37] no [14:37] system404: but you can just as well boot from a memtest cd if you need that.. those are available on the net [14:37] myeggo it's the version that they schlep out to businesses. Canonical will provide support for that version for 3 years from the release date [14:37] that's all it means. [14:37] I just rm -rf my whole /home how do I make it the default again? [14:37] I don't care that I lost my data. [14:38] Computer_Man Ok, so no effects on yet, we need to see if they are turned off or if your video driver isnt setup, what video card/chipset [14:38] Dr_Willis, it says vlc isn't supposed to be run as root [14:38] system404: I think there is a "add memory tester to menu" setting somewhere in there.. better to change that than to edit out the actual menu choice.. [14:38] mrp, sudo mkdir /home/~ should do it [14:38] now that might be the problem. [14:38] system404: that way you won't have to do it again when you get a new kernel, or change settings for grub etc [14:38] where is that located SLART [14:38] how can I get it to detect my video card v/s running default? [14:38] bootninja: will all config files just be recreated? [14:39] sean2009: yea i noticed that also. :) never tried that befor. could try gmplayer i guess. [14:39] bootninja: ok, so alsa has found two cards.. are you using the soundcards built-in on your motherboard? [14:39] bootninja: basically I stuff around with configs and then I couldn't get gnome to show toolbars etc so I just rm'rf the whole dir [14:39] hmm, banshee just removed alsa options from my sound/volume prefs, leaving only pulse, which is no good for me as it doesnt affect volume at all properly. is that "normal"? i removed it and its back how it was.. [14:39] Computer_Man what video card/chipset [14:39] Dr_Willis, by the way i typed this first whicj uninstalled 40 programs if it helps. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras also i typed in this hold on [14:39] mrp: yes, next time you login to gnome, all the default configs will be created [14:39] system404: I don't remember.. but it's in the /boot/grub/menu.lst file [14:39] Hey [14:39] bootninja: sweet thanks mate [14:39] how do i find the target device of a mounted loopback image? [14:39] slart: yes, I'm on a gateway fx laptop [14:39] if I added an inet6 addr to my wlan0 in ifconfig, after I reboot will the srtting still be there? [14:40] not really sure for sure is built in to my Dell GX260 [14:40] is there a way to snapshot your home dir? [14:40] Dr_Willis, also this sudo aptitude install libdvdnav4 libdvdplay0 libdvdread3 libdvdcss2 which combined with the other thing uninstalled 40 progs [14:40] and in the grub editor is it ok to change the titles just so it looks a lil better [14:40] system404: line 118 on my system... starts with "## should update-grub create memtest86 boot option" [14:41] perhaps i ve erased something important? [14:41] mrp: I think you can do a dd piped into tar [14:41] sean2009: i always install 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' it should insall a few dozen extra tools. [14:41] system404: and there is a # memtest86=true , change it to false [14:41] Slart, how can I make update-notifier stop from working in the background? [14:41] sean2009: you can try running gmplayer as root -> gksu gmplayer dvd://2 === brEz is now known as brEz_ [14:41] Computer_Man lspci | grep -i vga in a term [14:41] ok [14:41] ok hold on i'll try it [14:41] sean2009: your # (2) may need to change for your disk..

[14:42] archman: hmm.. no idea really.. I'm not sure what part of the system is responsible for it [14:42] hi all, under ubuntu 8.04, when trying to install virtualbox-ose, it tries to install linux-image-2.6.24-16-386, but this is not the kernel I'm using, I am using the generic one instead [14:42] archman: that sounds like a very probable candidate [14:42] why is it trying to install a new kernel ? can I prevent this ? [14:43] Guest75344: hmm.. I thought it only installed a kernel module.. [14:43] it returned grep -i VGA (VGA in red) === hsoinsaxnly is now known as shinygerbil [14:43] Slart, apparently, it's aptitude who is faulty, if I use apt-get instead, it's not trying to install a kernel [14:43] Computer_Man odd.. brb [14:44] ok thx [14:44] Dr_Willis, hello that loaded up the disk and played a chapter? and then quit. it did work though [14:44] slart: basically the problem I'm having is I get sound out of the built in laptop speakers, but whenever I plug in my external speakers with subwoofer then I have no sound [14:44] sean2009: different #'s are for differtn chapters. :) [14:44] ah yes I see, virtualbox-ose-modules is recommended, so aptitude tried to install it [14:44] sean2009: so it depends on the disk. at least we showed it worked.. [14:44] Guest75344: oh.. first time I've heard of aptitude doing something bad [14:45] sean2009: what does 'ls -l /dev/dvd' show for permissions --> mine --> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2009-05-19 05:05 /dev/dvd -> sr0 [14:45] bootninja: have you enabled all the volume sliders in the mixer and tried changing them ? [14:45] Dr_Willis, yes thanks i changed the numer to 3 and its now playing [14:45] Slart, well it's bad in the sense it doesn't let you choose which version of the module you want to install [14:45] slart: yes [14:45] bootninja: some soundcards get a separate volume for external and internal speakers [14:45] Dr_Willis, ok hold on [14:46] slart: I've checked all that and I set everything all the way up, no dice. [14:46] sean2009: personally i normally rip any dvd to a avi file.. and then put the disk in a safe place.. :) [14:46] hey all... [14:46] Dr_Willis, it says lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2009-05-19 12:56 /dev/dvd -> sr0 [14:46] bootninja: then I'm kind of at a loss.. alsa has always been a weird piece of software.. I'm just happy it works most of the time for me [14:46] sean2009: well i cant see any permissions differances anywhere. compared to my system [14:47] anyone here familiar with super formatting floppy disks with ubuntu 9.04? [14:47] how to unzip pass-protected files, any help? [14:47] Dr_Willis, ok thanks for all your help [14:47] slart: I think the problem is somewhere with the new pulseaudio sound system that just came out with jaunty [14:47] Dr_Willis, i'll now watch my dvd thanks [14:47] bye [14:47] anyone use amsn? i cant seem to get it to work?

[15:27] mobi-sheep: yet when I open the firefox each time [15:28] SolusMIB: hmm. unfortunately, i have to be afk for a while. my only suggestion at this point would be to burn the floppy drive :-) you can make a normal filesystem on it using mke2fs, which is probably your best bet. superformat is for low-level formatting anyway, not really needed for a "recent" floppy disk. [15:28] it needs me to modify the plugins I have already done like downthwmall [15:28] i mean it's the closest button when you right click, it happened so fast i didn't see waht was goin on.. all i'm left with is a systray which is in the middle, and my two buttons on the left to launch apps... but if i want to minimize something, it's GONE [15:28] tehboriz: Oh, whooops, apt-get upgrade and apt-get update , kinda rebuild the sources list or refresh them then do a repair or fix. === Paraselene__ is now known as Paraselene_ [15:28] SIPIOR!!! thank you for your help!!!!!!!!!

[17:15] nickgrey147: typically, you would create a group of accounts that should be able to edit the file, and then add the user to that group (if only one person ever needs to edit the file, simply make them the owner of the file via "chown"). if you need a finer set of access controls, try using access control lists (ACLs): see the man pages for getfacl and setfacl. [17:15] I think that it is funny..that Ubuntu's free CDs are wonderful pressed disks, and the 60 dollar software I bought was a burned CD with a somewhat fuzzy label. [17:15] Thanks all those who helped me here. My partition formatted and I'm back to Ubuntu 8.04 LTS [17:15] sebsebseb: Yes, doing some dpkg stuff to remove blobs for a new distrio for some kids classes. [17:15] vigo: kids classes??? [17:16] Am about to install Ubuntu to a new system: Would anyone recommend the use of EXT4 now that it's been out for a while? [17:16] jarednevans: maybe, still some issues with it mentioned in the release notes [17:16] !notes [17:16] Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) release notes can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/ReleaseNotes [17:16] sebsebseb: going off-topic now for this. [17:16] test [17:16] vigo: pm me then if you want? [17:16] test failed! [17:16] hello [17:17] !hi | FLjohn [17:17] FLjohn: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [17:17] thuglife222: then goto system>administration>Sysnaptic, click setting, Repositories. Uncheck Multiverse Repo, ok then sudo apt-get update again [17:17] Hey, is it possible to install ATI drivers for my Radeon XPress 200m on Jaunty? [17:17] I'm aware of the potential data-loss problems with EXT4 - Would this be fixed with one of the auto-upgrades after initial Jaunty installation? [17:17] jarednevans: data loss ha I don't quite think so [17:17] Dr_Willis: I see quite a few big bugs reported so far, none with acceptable solutions. Is this normal for a version upgrade? Usually I tend to lag behind them and I'm wishing I stuck to that policy [17:17] my sound car is not functioning after upgrade to jaunty, anyone could help me? [17:17] sebsebseb: okee dokee [17:17] jarednevans: apparnatly Ext4 partitions can maybe get currupted, but to be sure you back up data somewhere else as well [17:18] I've heard that the drivers might not work with X version 1.6 [17:18] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/ReleaseNotes#Lock-ups%20when%20deleting%20files%20from%20ext4%20filesystems [17:18] jarednevans: the data loss issue as far as I know is fixed [17:18] Very simple questions I hope. I am new to Ubuntu and I downloaded 8.04. I want the newest version. I am running a new system and i would like to go 64 bit. When I download it do I have to unzip it or will it just unpackage itself since I am already running Ubuntu [17:18] jarednevans: yeah some kind of file deletion bug sure, but that would be the only one that effects a clean install I think [17:19] My cpu is 100% loaded (System Monitor) while process monitor, top and htop shows that cpu load is 0-20%, but it really slow. How to determine which system app/driver is eating my cpu? [17:19] where is this bug fix brought into the system? [17:19] is it fixed on the installation media or during one of the auto-upgrades after an installation? [17:19] fetchmail question : "/etc/fetchmailrc" seems to be for global, is it possible to have fetchmail run per user based on a similar file in their home folder? [17:19] hi - trying to download 9.04 for my 64 bit intell machine but the iso that has come down is ubuntu-9.04-desktop-amd64.iso i.e. it looks like it's for amd architecture. I didn't specify this, it just seems to have assumed i want imd, when I want intel. ideas? [17:20] airtonix: yes, the file is .fetchmailrc, in the user's home directory. [17:20] sipior, cheers [17:20] whatvn: i followed as you said [17:20] FLjohn: which 8.04 did you get? [17:20] edmoore, amd64 is x86_64 [17:20] but there is no such thing as Uncheck Multiverse Repo, ok [17:20] Bob_Dole: ok - but it should work fine on my intel machine? [17:21] edmoore, AMD went 64bit first, so a lot of people still call 64bit x86 amd64, and yes, it will work fine. [17:21] seb. I think it is hardy heron [17:21] all i see few tabs and you didn't mention in which tab it is [17:21] FLjohn: why did you get 8.04 when you want 9.04 ? [17:21] thuglife222: uncheck what checkbox follow with Multiverse [17:21] Bob_Dole: great, thanks for your help [17:21] FLjohn: and I meant if your version was 32bit or 64bit [17:21] whatvn: but does that comes into download tab? [17:21] hi, i have lost my internet connection! :( i had ubuntu on my desktop, then i installed win 7, then i reinstall grub and all of that. when i enter win 7 i surf a little on the web. Now, when i start ubuntu, i am not able to connect to the internet... how can i solve this? [17:21] one sec. I am holding new baby can not type [17:21] check this out, no one has said this on the internet before: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22a+girl+you+never+get+tired+of+playing [17:21] whatvn: i mean ubuntu software [17:22] just a single result [17:22] whatvn: does it comes into ubuntu software tab???? [17:22] i change the workgroup name in /etc/samba/smb.conf to the same workgroup name of win 7 [17:22] FLjohn: ah right, well get them using Ubuntu to, when they are older I guess :) [17:22] does anybody know what the preferred method of launching a process as a certain user from an init script is? [17:22] what are the advantages of a 64bit OS? (besides being able to utilize more RAM) [17:22] thuglife222: yes [17:22] this isn't ubuntu-offtopic, sry [17:22] Paulo39: when you installed win7 you corrupted your hdd. now disassemble your pc and throw away the hdd [17:23] nowt wrong with 7 im dual bootin 7 and ubuntu with no problems watsoever [17:23] throw away the hdd? [17:23] thuglife222: Software restricted by copyright.... [17:23] ? [17:23] http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2009/05/ftc-nukes-extended-warranty-robocallers-from-orbit.ars - Fucking bad ass. [17:23] i'd like to know how linux works --- any suggestions what to read? [17:23] i'm looking for another kind of help [17:23] !ot | cbleslie [17:23] cbleslie: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [17:23] !language | cbleslie [17:23] cbleslie: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [17:24] Okay. [17:24] :( my bad. [17:24] prassyy: Official Ubuntu Docs are a real good start [17:24] whatvn done that [17:24] again there is error in the last line [17:24] vigo: thank you [17:24] check the results [17:24] tchough: the preferred method is not to do it, i think :-) what end result are you aiming for? probably easier to run your program from rc.local. [17:24] vigo: i'll google it :) [17:24] thuglife222: ok, then goto terminal sudo apt-get update [17:25] prassyy: here> https://help.ubuntu.com/ [17:25] tchough: or you could simply write a wrapper around your code, and give up root permission via setuid() [17:25] sipior: i'm trying to run an auto answering voip daemon as under it's own system user instead of root [17:25] whatvn: i did that and as a result i got this http://paste.ubuntu.com/175781/ [17:25] vigo: yeah got it [17:25] Ok. I was trying to put Ubuntu on a CD. My old computer did not have a DVD drive so a regular disk would not hold the new 9.xx version. The site said Hardy was just uncer 700. When I went to write it to disk it was not. I had a problem, so I put it on a thumb drive. My questions is now that it is on my Solid state harddrive (main drive) can I just go ahead and so an update or do I need to do the thumbdrive again? [17:25] whatvn: check it out i did as you told me to do so [17:25] prassyy # Free Ubuntu Book: http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download.html [17:26] hi [17:26] FLjohn Write as an image not as a single file [17:26] Jack_Sparrow: thank you [17:26] prassyy any time [17:26] FLjohn: you can't directly upgrade 8.04 to 9.04, you have to go through 8.10 first [17:26] sipior: i'd rather not have to write anything more complex than a script if possible... a lot of daemons run as system users... surely there's a simple way to do it in a shell script that i don't konw about? [17:26] FLjohn: if you've done the install then the usb isn't necessary [17:26] Ok is there anything I need to do regarding unzipping? [17:26] oh, advantages of 64bit: 64bit integer math, more RAM. Disadvantages of 64bit: It requires more memory to do the same things, 1-2 compat. issues, but getting fewer and fewer(are there still any?) [17:27] tchough: oh, beg your pardon, i misread your question as starting a program from init directly. your best bet is to copy one of the pre-existing init scripts in /etc/init.d. [17:27] sipior, any way to setup fetchmail so i don't have to store my email passwords in plaintext within that user specific folder ? [17:27] FLjohn Write the iso as an image not as a single file [17:27] whatvn: you got it???? [17:27] thuglife222: I'm checking [17:27] !burn [17:27] ok [17:27] CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [17:27] FLjohn: no.. but if you simply copied the .iso file to a usb it won't do anything anyway.. you have to burn the .iso as an image not data [17:27] Hi === selocol is now known as yimi [17:27] airtonix: you can have fetchmail ask you every time, i suppose. or look into kerberos authentication. [17:28] FLjohn: the .iso when burned correctly will fit on a normal cd === yimi is now known as selocol [17:28] hey does anyone know about installing ATI drivers on 9.04? I'm hoping I don't need to downgrade or use a different distro or something. [17:28] theres a tool called like usbwriter or something, its a easy tool for burning an image to a flash drive [17:28] thuglife222: sudo apt-get clean then sudo apt-get update [17:28] sure wait a sec [17:29] I have 4 gigs of Ram. Will 64 bit run better then 8.04 32 Bit heron? [17:29] I would linke. ubuntu developers add some softwares to the next version of ubuntu.

Falatooni [17:29] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:29] tchough: sure, you can always just issue a "su -l ", although that's not a very pretty solution. ideally, your daemon will drop root permissions on its own. [17:30] Falatooni: the developers mailing list [17:30] Thanks all for the input. Talk next time [17:30] fljohn, your 32 bit OS will only recognize a little more than 3GB of RAM [17:30] FLjohn: there is some.. search on www.google.com/linux [17:30] sebsebseb the brainstorm link is a better choice [17:30] whatvn: check this out http://paste.ubuntu.com/175789/ [17:30] no [17:30] Jack_Sparrow: is it really? according to one guy, there are loads of stupid suggestions there, that get ignored as well, and never become features [17:30] ryan_ 32 supports 4 gigs, but the desktop uses from 3.3 to 4 fto keep the desktop running better/smoothly [17:31] if im trying to set a an ftp so i can access / through su what is the group for that? === selocol is now known as lainy [17:31] !brainstorm | Falatooni [17:31] Falatooni: Post your ideas for ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like!

Thanks [17:31] sebsebseb dumb ideas always will get passed over [17:32] whatvn: nops it was like running for some time then i got the next like but no results [17:32] Jack_Sparrow: good point [17:32] Windows won't use more than 3.5GB or some such on 32bit, but I think that is specific to windows. [17:32] Jack_Sparrow: you're an optimist :-) [17:32] whatvn: it didn't return me any result [17:32] Bob_Dole: nope.. specific to all 32 bit OS's [17:32] sipior true.. they did include Wubi [17:32] sipior: unfortunately, su won't work for me because the system user's shell is /bin/false.... i could change that, but i think it's a security precaution [17:32] Jack_Sparrow: :) you don't like Wubi much either [17:33] sebsebseb the worst idea in all of Ubuntu land [17:33] Jack_Sparrow: I think they should be more clear Wubi can be useful for trying, but can cause issues, and it's better to partition the hard disk for real, for a proper Ubuntu install [17:33] thuglife222: tied my hand :| [17:33] sebsebseb If there is a pre-existing directory called "ubuntu" in the target drive, it will be reused during the Windows installation and the full directory will be removed when uninstalling (364166). This will result in the loss of any files which were originally in that directory. [17:33] Jack_Sparrow: I could not agree more. It did help get Ubuntu into the masses, still a goofy idea. [17:33] whatvn: i know [17:33] sebsebseb Yet another reason to dislike wubi [17:34] whatvn: i truly apprecite you for you help and efforts [17:34] tchough: you only need to ensure that the target user of su exists: "su -l myphonedaemon", user myphonedaemon must exist and have something other than /bin/false as a shell. [17:34] Jack_Sparrow: oh didn't know that [17:34] whatvn: but i don't understand what went wrong with my ubuntu [17:34] sebsebseb Nice eh, I do have a ubuntu dir as do many many people, [17:34] bbl [17:34] Jack_Sparrow: what was the number in brackets? [17:35] Jack_Sparrow: well thanks you just gave me another reason I can use, when I am suggesting people don't do Wubi [17:35] thuglife222: maybe there is a problem with your network and Multiverse Repo [17:35] whatvn: but i am connected to internet [17:35] my ubuntu is going crazy right now- every time i run firefox everything freezes.... except irc! [17:35] i can download heavy files aswell [17:35] wait a minute whatvn [17:35] what about my openoffice problem? [17:36] how will i get it back....

Before install, I apt-get install lvm2, created the LVM partitions. Then I ran the installer, selected the LVM partitions (but /boot has its own separate partition, still), did installation, and when finished, I chrooted into the new installation and installed the lvm2 package there too so that ubuntu would have LVM support. Then I reboot, grub loads, but then it fai [17:37] saying it failed find / , that it can not finnd /dev/system/root (which is the LV root from the group system).. Does anybody have an idea how to fix this? [17:37] i am getting lines on my video playback [17:37] wats the best recommended torrent client [17:37] tchough: no trouble, have fun.

I could understand him well but he understood only 5% of my speech. Where can I find guidance to analyze the problem and troubleshoot? [17:43] system404: this is like someone yesterday, or was that you? [17:43] ubuntu___: how far does it get before failing? [17:43] mzz: well, by default it STILL does not come with the lvm package, gods know why.. :) but I installed the lvm package myself, but its not working.. [17:43] system404: 5GB for Ubuntu is rather small indeed [17:43] Ok, Im totally lost here. I dont know how to use this chat lol and I need help with my system! [17:43] has anyone experienced those choopy lines on video playback with ubunto 9.04 [17:43] durt: i meant i know it is opened but where to fix that line error [17:43] mzz: I just installed kubuntu from the live CD, but I added LVM into the process.. Before install, I apt-get install lvm2, created the LVM partitions. Then I ran the installer, selected the LVM partitions (but /boot has its own separate partition, still), did installation, and when finished, I chrooted into the new installation and installed the lvm2 package there too so that ubuntu would have LVM support. Then I reboot, grub loads, but then it fails, [17:43] it failed find / , that it can not finnd /dev/system/root (which is the LV root from the group system).. Does anybody have an idea how to fix this? [17:43] ubuntu___: I did not have to install the lvm package manually (this is 9.04 btw) [17:43] thuglife222, it's in line 5 or 6 near the top. [17:43] talbotts: ok what's the problem exactly? [17:43] mzz: See above, it gets all the way, but then after reboot, grub fails [17:43] thuglife222, end of the line. [17:43] mzz: Well, the live CD does NOT have the lvm package.. [17:44] ubuntu___: can you pastebin your grub.conf? [17:44] mzz: sure [17:44] In Jaunty gibt es bei mir ein Verzeichnis /.mc mit root-Rechten. Das gab es in Ubuntu 8.04.2 nicht. Es hat nur eine Datei 'history'. Die ist leer. Wozu ist diese Datei gut? [17:44] I need to install a program that is for windows, I have crossover but dont know how to use it [17:44] mzz: one sec [17:44] !pastebin [17:44] 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) [17:44] ubuntu___: ah, you used the regular cd then? [17:44] anything i download will b stored to my downloads folder on ntfs partition so my ubuntu partition is for ubuntu aps only and installing kde will take quite a bit from me so i dont want to go there just yet once im more comfortable with ubuntu i will totally cross over and be done with windows but as i said only bn usin this 2 days so i got a while to go before the crossover [17:44] mzz: I used the live CD [17:44] zealiod: i know i've seen this in the documentation section of the ubuntu web site. try googling "ubuntu" and "usb stick" and i expect you'll get there directly. or if you already have a 9.04 system hanging around, there's a handy usb stick tool in the administration menu, i believe. [17:44] talbotts: your brand new to Ubuntu? [17:44] yes i am [17:44] ubuntu___: yeah, I didn't have much luck using that cd and lvm in the past. [17:44] mzz: so a normal install CD DOES have LVM support? [17:44] talbotts: how did you find out about Crossover, and what is the app you want to install? [17:45] i really need help i have exhausted all the search possibilities online. my system says it is running ok but those lines are driving me mad. i know i am new but i have tried all that i can think of... [17:45] sipior: its not a usb stick.... that's half the issue - all the docs try and help you out in a million ways for that... the usb hard disk i have here is SATA [17:45] are there updated mesa and radeon driver packages somewhere for jaunty? [17:45] it was already on my computer. i was looking around and seen it because it mentioned windows, basically its all trial and error for me [17:45] chris_: graphics cards can be a bit difficult to get working properly in Ubuntu [17:45] hello there [17:45] ubuntu___: I used the alternate install cd (the one that gives you a text-based installer). I tried the regular livecd in the past and got stuck on lack of lvm on the livecd. This might have changed in 9.04 but I did not feel like trying. [17:46] i was wondering if there is a way to install ubunto for mac 6.06 entirely through text [17:46] zealiod: still bootable though, yeah? [17:46] talbotts: you can pm me if you want to talk somewhere more quite by the way === danorsk is now known as danorsk[afk] [17:46] durt: http://paste.ubuntu.com/175794/ [17:46] sipior: yeah [17:46] how do I do that? [17:46] s [17:46] How difficult is it to set up an extended screen? [17:46] -rAD [17:46] zealiod: so it shouldn't make much difference to the system either way. [17:46] durt: you said miss spelling i am not able to understand where is miss spelling i posted you top 6 lines [17:46] talbotts: and I have helped quite a few newbies get started with Ubuntu rather nicely. just click on my name [17:46] durt: where do you see error please post it back [17:46] ok thx [17:47] thuglife222, line 5 add an 'e' at the end of 'multivers' [17:47] mzz: well don't bother trying, there is no LVM support :) but so, the alternate CD does have LVM support... ? [17:47] then save and update again [17:47] chris_, it is called tearing and more than likely you have the ati proprietary driver installed [17:47] mzz: in any case.. my situation right now is.. I dont have the alternate CD, I have ubuntu completely installed.. [17:47] ubuntu___: yes, the alternate install cd just worked (I had previously created lvs to install into, and those lvs showed up in the partitioner) [17:47] durt: line 5 is --> deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid universe multivers e [17:47] so still the question stands whats everyone using for torrent downloads [17:48] thuglife222, multiverse [17:48] mzz: stupid question.. the menu.lst file is quite large.. How do I pastebin this? Can I only pastebin the entry that contains the new startup ? [17:48] ubuntu___: apt-get pastebinit && pastebinit /boot/grub/menu.lst [17:48] durt: intrepid universe multivers e [17:48] ubuntu___: err, the pastebin is *made* to paste long things [17:48] durt: is that you mean???? [17:48] thuglife222, are you trolling? [17:49] thuglife222, multiverse [17:49] ubuntu___: err, apt-get install pastebinit, of course [17:49] LjL: I know pastebin is made for that :) Its just that its too large to select in the textbox, but mzz already gave me a nice solution [17:49] !pm|chris [17:49] chris: 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. [17:49] mzz: ofcourse [17:49] ubuntu___: Edit / Select All [17:49] i just wanna install ubuntu on my mac, but the resolution is on 640 480 and wont change [17:49] ubuntu___: (can you tell I don't use ubuntu much...)

[17:50] thuglife222, fwew, I was gonna lose it there [17:50] mzz: crap, I did a chroot, and now I cant install :) any way how I can chroot back to the live cd I am running now? [17:50] ubuntu___: "exit"? [17:50] exit ? that easy? [17:50] mzz: Can you tell I never used chroot before? :D [17:50] draft N = wireless speed [17:51] yeah i use draft N [17:51] i just call it wireless N lol [17:51] but yeah mines works fine [17:51] straight out the box on 9.04 [17:51] 802.11N, kinda like a b and g. [17:51] oh uh, well its also called draft N since it isnt a standard yet.. [17:51] ubuntu___: should work, unless you did "exec chroot ..." instead of just "chroot ..." to get in [17:51] system404 : can i msg you? [17:52] mzz: I just did chroot.. [17:52] Gr888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 [17:52] yeah sure aixenv [17:52] thuglife222, so update completed? [17:52] gr8 man durt [17:52] mzz: only, there is no such package as pastebinit.. did an apt-cache search already.. [17:52] salutes durt [17:52] ubuntu___: no? sec... [17:52] mzz: mmm, let me just try to somehow select the entire thing and get over with it [17:52] yup no error this time [17:52] hola [17:53] durt will now i be able to get back my office from add/remove? [17:53] ubuntu___: really should exist (in universe) === ibrahim1 is now known as [pseudo] [17:53] um rawr? [17:53] thuglife222, try it [17:53] mzz: lets quickly see if universe is enables [17:53] #caca === Paulo39_ is now known as Paulo39 [17:54] durt: office giving error [17:54] durt: ; can't install open office.org-writer" === elad is now known as elad` [17:55] durt: this is the error i get from add/remove program === [pseudo] is now known as issoufi143 [17:55] mzz: sorry, just also checking something.. with what apt command can I see if a certain package is installed or not? [17:55] someone able to clarify this for me ? perl script is indicating to scan D:\Movies directory .......how do I find which partition is mapped as D ????? [17:55] ubuntu___: please ask the channel, I suck at apt [17:55] With what command can I see if a certain .deb package is installed or not? [17:56] !apt > ubuntu___ [17:56] ubuntu___, please see my private message [17:56] !ls [17:56] 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 [17:56] ubuntu___: apt-cache policy PACKAGE [17:56] or what jrib said [17:56] thanks! [17:56] haha i fixed it omg! [17:57] nm [17:57] hali [17:57] :) [17:57] /join #les44 [17:57] Hi guys, how can I enable vino-server to start automatically with automatic login? I enabled it but it doesn't seem to start, this is for a media server I have set up [17:57] /join [#canal] [17:58] mzz: sweeeet! :) http://pastebin.com/f2a9f8fe [17:59] jeebus reconfiguring x really isnt that hard [17:59] /join #les44 [17:59] ksksk [17:59] ubuntu___: how far does it get? [18:00] has anyone installed an airport card on 6.06 mac? [18:00] ubuntu___: you mentioned it complaining about /dev/system/root, but that isn't in your grub.conf (which is good). Is it in your fstab? [18:01] hey [18:01] mzz: well, /dev/mapper/system-root is the same as /dev/system/root :) or it should be anyway, and the first one IS in the menu.lst [18:01] anyone here got experience with openbox? [18:01] kliNikal, a little [18:01] OK, so something is playing audio.... but I don't know what... [18:01] hello... what do you guys think about this partitioning and how can i do it with ubuntu, since i cant find where to change RAID, mount /other and /work http://pastie.org/482966 [18:01] mzz: the root entry in the fstab is this one: UUID=1c86fb6c-47bf-41de-890d-a49136ddef7d / ext4 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 [18:01] ubuntu___: so what's the exact error message and at what point do you get it (mentioning one or more messages occuring right above the final failure could help)? [18:02] i'm trying to get my bluetooth dongle to work durt, hciconfig says its working but no apps seems to work [18:02] ubuntu___: point is if lvm isn't working at all it won't know /dev/mapper/system-root and /dev/system/root are the same thing. That knowledge isn't baked into the kernel. [18:02] kliNikal, sry no exp. with bluetooth [18:02] even bluesnarf works lol just cant get file transfer for my cell [18:02] can anyone read what im saying? [18:02] mzz: don't have the *exact* message, it complains about.. IIRC, timeout while waiting for / (root) and that /dev/mapper/system-root is not available [18:03] mzz: exactly [18:03] It's a song I have on my fileserver... I was trying to get rhythmbox to play it, but it was just throwing errors. I closed rhytmbox, and music is still playing. The errors were "can not import file" and was something about gstreamer, and rhythmbox. [18:03] mzz: my guess is that either the volume group was not enabled yet (dunno if the kernel does that automatically upon boot) or that the kernel somehow does not have the LVM module loaded [18:03] Bob_Dole: Do you have Pulse installed? [18:03] ubuntu___: ok, so it sounds like the initramfs is loaded successfully and fails to initialize lvm (?). Anything interesting lvm-related above the final error? [18:03] any channel to ask questions about python ? [18:03] xisco: iirc there's a #python or a ##python. [18:03] xisco: or you can just ask me, I guess :) [18:03] vigo, pulseaudio? it's default and I see it in top [18:04] portacoon, yes, if nobody answers, nobody knows. [18:04] it's default isn't it?* [18:04] mzz: Sorry, Its on the same laptop that I am using now with live CD.. I'd have to reboot to see the error.. Can do that if you can wait 5 minutes [18:04] okay so, i can get ethernet to work, but i need to get airport to work, atm i cant figure it out [18:04] ubuntu___: sec [18:04] Bob_Dole: Not really, on many it has to be installed also [18:04] mzz: sec? [18:04] can someone remind me how to rebuild the initramfs? [18:04] portacoon: airport uses a weird standar regarding wep passwords [18:05] mzz, oh thanks, I want to know how to detect in python if the caps lock is activate or desactive ! [18:05] mzz: isnt that actually done by the apt-get install lvm2 command, after the chroot? [18:05] i can connect to unsecure [18:05] How can I symlink /media/disk/foo and /media/disk-1/foo to /home/bob/foo? [18:05] mzz: update-initrmfs ? [18:05] vigo, Odd, I've yet to have an ubuntu installation that didn't have pulseaudio on it by default. Will killing it cause any problems? [18:05] ubuntu___: iirc update-initramfs can be used to rebuild the initramfs. It's possible your initramfs doesn't properly support lvm (did you have to install lvm into the installed system manually?) [18:05] right now im installing ubuntu lol, i finally got the resolution manually changed [18:05] bobbob1016: ln -s TARGET NAME [18:05] erUSUL: thanks :) [18:05] my heatsink for my video card= floppy disk [18:05] im a firstarter a twisted firestarter [18:05] xisco: using what toolkit, or on the commandline? [18:05] Bob_Dole: killing Pulse could render any audio unusable. [18:06] gimme gimme gimme what ya got got [18:06] Bob_Dole, If you'd like a site with instructions on Pulseaudio let me know [18:06] mzz, gtk [18:06] mzz: yes.. after the install, I mounted the 3 partitions that I have (root, boot and home) in /target (root) /target/home (home) and /target/boot (sda3, which is the boot partition).. then I chrooted there [18:06] xisco: hmm, sec [18:06] mzz: and then I did apt-get install lvm2 [18:06] jrib: TARGET NAME? I'm currently doing "ln -s /media/disk/foo /home/bob/foo" and "ln -s /media/disk-1/foo /home/bob/foo" [18:06] mzz: All this was taken from a tutorial on how to do it.. all steps make perfect sense.. [18:06] ill have to get back to you after ubuntu installs [18:06] mzz: be it only that it didnnt work :) [18:06] is it okay i stay connected here till its done, or should i log out? [18:07] bobbob1016: you can not make a link that points to two different places... [18:07] ubuntu___: regenerating the initramfs before you reboot to get the error is worth a shot imho [18:07] portacoon, I've been connect days now [18:07] how do i convert 3gp to avi or other formats ? [18:07] lol, i just dont want any problems lol [18:07] hey ppl, how can i mount a partition (/boot for example) using RAID1 when installing ubuntu [18:07] KingKimi: ffmpeg [18:07] So then, how would I stop this song from playing over and over without disconnecting from the net, killing my audio in general, etc? [18:07] erUSUL: I just want the files from /disk/foo and /disk-1/foo to be listed in /bob/foo [18:07] !raid | ltcabral [18:07] ltcabral: 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 [18:08] mzz: okay.. thats just update-initramfs all then? [18:08] bobbob1016: you can not do that not even with a bind mount === portacoon is now known as portacooninstall [18:08] Bob_Dole: yes, force quit would stop it [18:08] Bob_Dole, open a terminal, run top, press k for kill and enter the pid of the process of the sound player [18:09] durt, I thought it was rhythmbox, I don't see rhythmbox in top [18:09] bobbob1016: what if the disks contains two files with the same name which of the two will be displayed ?? what happens to the other one ? [18:09] durt: man tell me how to reintall openoffice from cd? [18:09] mzz: done so... Going for a reboot now, see if there is any change.. [18:09] Bob_Dole, should be another process then, mplayer? xine? [18:09] thuglife222, from what cd? [18:10] is there any nokia3110 usb driver in synaptic ? [18:10] I have a current machine running w/ no virtualization. I'd like to move this virtual machine to a kvm environment. On the host, I'd like to create a Logical Volume (LVM) that is the /exact size/ of the source machine's disk -- is it possible to define an LVM LV of an exact specific number of allocated blocks (so as to avoid waste by making the destination LV bigger than the source?) [18:10] Help... something strange just happened. I was customizing my menu, deleting entries and stuff, renaming others, when I suddenly couldn't open my home folder. I rebooted the computer, and now nothing happens after I log in. I'm just sitting there staring at the wallpaper. I can't hit alt+f2 or anything. [18:10] Nor do I see any other media players. I do see pulseaudio. [18:10] Or if I'm off track, what is considered "best practice" for this environment [18:10] xisco: hmm, I've found a gdk function that probably does this (gdk_keymap_get_caps_lock_state) but pygtk does not seem to wrap it :( [18:10] durt: my open office has gone........ can't install it from add/remove programs so the last thing left is to install it from ubuntu8.10 cd [18:10] Bob_Dole, something using cpu? [18:10] erUSUL: The ln command would probably error. I know there won't be same files, for me at least. Is there no way to do this? [18:10] durt: but i am new to ubuntu not expert with commands that's why i am asking you [18:11] mzz, thanks, now that I have that function and I will try to find something else [18:11] thuglife222, what was the error when trying to install oo.o === Radek is now known as Guest5076 [18:11] xisco: it's probably possible to duplicate what that function does using a Keymap object, but it's not entirely trivial. Or there may be a different way I'm overlooking. You might want to ask in the pygtk support channel on gimpnet. [18:11] Jaunty 9.04, creative x-fi music -- my Master Volume keeps being reset to 0 [18:11] I'm running Ubuntu Jaunty [18:11] bobbob1016: no; think a little about it and you will see why... jus mount them in two subdirs of $HOME/foo/ like disk1 and disk2 [18:12] everytime I reboot, load up amarok and get confused why there's no sound -- always no master volume [18:12] so many people [18:12] durt: let me write you the whole error message [18:12] are there any nokia usb driver in synaptic ? [18:12] AHA! totem is running.. about 12 places down and jumping back and forth. 6 browsers and other things moving around didn't help @.@ [18:12] *keeels totem* [18:13] xisco: oh, actually if you have pygtk 2.16 you probably do have gtk.gdk.Keymap.get_caps_lock_sttate [18:13] Bob_Dole, xD [18:13] xisco: s/sttate/state/ (I was looking at an older pygtk). So then you just have to figure out how to get a keymap, hmm [18:13] xisco: ah, gtk.gdk.keymap_get_default().get_caps_lock_state() [18:14] anyone have experience with AFP/netatalk on ubuntu? [18:14] mzz, fuck, thank you so much [18:14] hello, just did a fresh install of ubuntu on my laptop with a broadcom wireless chip... installed through ubuntu the restricted driver... the chip seems to be working as the light shows up on it... but how do i search for a wireless connection? this is on 9.04...any help would be appreciated [18:14] xisco: if you have an older pygtk you can probably find or write code that figures it out from the keymap object. [18:15] erUSUL: No, I know exactly what you are saying, but the whole reason I want to do this is so I don't have subdirs. It's on my mythbox, I want everything in one folder. Since I control the data, there won't be duplicates. I know it'd be bad if there were duplicates, but I don't see why there wouldn't be that ability, ln should just say "there are duplicates" and not symlink them to begin with then. Same as when I copy a fil [18:15] e over another, it says "exists already are you sure?" it could say "you are symlinking 2 with the same name, should I rename them to say disk and disk-1, or not even link them?" [18:15] i have had that same problem norbi i dont remember how i fixed it [18:15] when i plugin nokia usb wire into computer, it says connect to internet.......... but i cant access the memory card in phone [18:15] when i got to add/remove programs... in all available applications tab on the right side when i type open office... the open office appears with .word processor ..ppt etc... now when i try to check that tab to intall it it reture in error which says can't install openoffice.org-writer" and below in the description it's written " the application conflits with the other installed software, to install openoffice.org-writer the conflicting software must be r [18:15] durt: you got it now [18:16] arthurh: see the lvcreate -l option, but I'm pretty sure that gets rounded (hopefully always up) to the nearest whole number of extents. [18:16] bobbob1016: but you are not symlinking the files one by one you want to symlink the directories...... if you are going to symlink every file one by one it is another matter [18:17] question, after i get ubuntu installed, and i put the airport card back in, if im connected to the internet will it find the drivers via update? [18:17] thuglife222, you have another version of oo.o installed? newer version perhaps? [18:17] durt: its koffice workspace somg thing like that [18:17] erUSUL: I did that with something like "ln -s /disk/foo/* /bob/foo/" and "ln -s /disk-1/foo/* /bob/foo/" but it isn't working, I was just looking for the syntax [18:17] but i don't want it.. i want open office back [18:17] when i plugin nokia usb wire into computer, it says connect to internet.......... but i cant access the memory card in phone [18:18] mzz: That's what I was going for, but extents are measured in what units? blocks? when I specified number of blocks via -l it was way larger than the target VG could create, so I'm guessing my idea of an "extent" is really flawed [18:18] thuglife222, you using kubuntu? [18:18] durt: nops its ubuntu8.10 [18:19] portacooninstall: thanks for the reply, the card seems to be working, ifconfig shows wlan but I just can't seem to search for available networks, maybe a third party application is needed? not sure [18:19] thuglife222, give a crap if koffice goes? [18:19] all i know last time i installed this koffice workspace but never know what's it all about [18:19] on the same computer, i have ubuntu 9.04 and kubuntu 8.10 [18:19] I installed skype on both. [18:19] durt: its ubuntu8.10 [18:20] arthurh: the extent size is a property of the volume group (see "PE size" in vgdisplay). They're usually several MB. [18:20] durt: how can i remove this koffice... uninstall it ........ ? terminal if yes command? [18:20] thuglife222, ok, if you don't care about koffice, close add/remove and open synaptic from system tools and try to install from there. [18:20] arthurh: and I typoed, I meant the -L option to lvcreate earlier. === radek is now known as Guest87106 [18:20] ok let me try durt [18:21] thuglife222, takes a few secs [18:21] Hi everybody. Can you please guide me to install a usb modem on ubuntu? I plan to make it work as a fax modem. [18:22] 2. Wait for the connection to fail and ask for you to re-enter the password.

[18:24] shift + insert press two key only [18:25] Meh, I find the ctrl+shift hotkey easy to remember because of the similarity to ctrl+v [18:25] how do i turn acapi on? [18:25] in grub [18:25] anyone? [18:25] Hallo [18:25] thuglife222, openoffice.org is the name of the meta-package that should install everything you need. [18:25] Google? I'm not very good with grub.

[18:35] rangzy: i'm using jaunty [18:35] Well, I am. I sortof assumed they were the same [18:35] it also says the following package have the unresolvable dependencies . make sure all required repositories are added and enabled in the preferences [18:35] I'm guessing they arent though [18:35] kavurt: just ask that on the channel, but all on one line [18:36] ok durt [18:36] ok [18:36] Tasem: they are very different. What are you actually trying to do? [18:36] treyh, ok. I have done it in 8.10 long back. Not sure whether its changed in 9.04 now. [18:36] thuglife222, you accidentally erase some lines from /etc/apt/sources.list? [18:37] I'm trying to open a program from the python shell, it's part of an excercise I'm doing because I'm trying to learn Python. Anyway it's in my /home/tas folder, tas being my main user folder. [18:37] Tasem: you may be looking for "import os;os.chdir('/home/tas')", or you may simply be looking for a shell instead of python [18:37] rangzy: awesome, standing by for a link or howto [18:37] thuglife222, actually I can't remember any main repos in your sources. Wanna check that? [18:38] Tasem: what you did is interpreted as "divide cd by home and divide that by tas", with cd, home and tas all being variable names. [18:38] treyh, see the step-8 here: http://www.stchman.com/transform_osx.html [18:38] sure durt: but how === MuffiS_ is now known as MuffiS [18:38] rangzy: ty sir reading now [18:38] mzz: Done! :) [18:38] Ah, I see. No wonder then. But then how do I actually access the folder from the shell? [18:38] on the same computer, i have ubuntu 9.04 and kubuntu 8.10. I installed skype on both. It works normal on kubuntu. But on ubuntu, I can hear people but they almost can't hear me, very weak, and with a 3-5 seconds delay. What can be wrong? It's an hp pavilion dv2000, with nvidia. [18:38] thuglife222, with a text editor of your choice. open '/etc/apt/sources.list' [18:38] treyh, thats what I followed long back. with that, you 'll be able to show any image for the splash. [18:39] mzz: Dunno if it was the update-initramfs, or the vgchange -a y, but it works, I got ubuntu again!! (by the way, I had the nick ubuntu__ before) [18:39] bye [18:39] what's the most economic network color laser printer for ubuntu? [18:40] lol [18:41] phoenixz: yay.

I'd like to, but Im not a dev, unfortunately..

[18:50] thuglife222, First line to add: 'deb http://pk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid main restricted', remove the quotes. [18:50] mechbangirc: ugh. Try googling for "reverse shell" (assuming you have a way to get to that server at all to initiate the connection) [18:51] jag_: not yet [18:51] mechbangirc:on a web server? [18:51] hi i got a small problem which is i can't see the folder that i've created on desktop unless i access it from Places>>Desktop then it will appear on my desktop screen is there a way to fix this ? [18:51] and the disk in my server is 4 years younger than my laptop, and has only been moved about 5 times in it's life, it can't be the hdd, i'm sure, it's too young [18:51] Dr_Willis: is it possible? to view beyond syslog6 ? [18:51] mechbangirc:what do you need to do? [18:51] Hi there - I was wondering if anyone knew off the top of their head what exact version of PHP comes with ubuntu 8.04? [18:51] treyh, did that work ? [18:51] mzz: thanks for the suggestion [18:51] i have twinview set up on my dual monitor system but the windows span across both monitors rather then maximizing to the monitor is there an option i need to set in xorg to preve nt this? [18:51] quintinvr: its a VoIP server need to see some configuration [18:51] durt: there are few folders which 1 to install [18:51] mhall119|work_: Anywhere else?? I still cant find the used space . . I even checked the . Hidden files . .?? [18:51] uatec: icic how did the integrity check turn out [18:52] thuglife222, second line to add: 'deb-src http://pk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid main restricted' [18:52] that's still running [18:52] jag_: try the Disk Usage Analyzer, under Accessories [18:52] ctrmd: is the folder on the second desktop?

[18:52] nope on the fist one [18:52] first* [18:52] macvr: could be it onkly keeps 6 days of logs [18:52] durt when you type that line it appears in the some link form [18:52] mechbangirc_: I had to change mine to 19 or 20 in past to get it working . . [18:52] yup, the test finished, the CD is fine [18:52] BilokShem: plase keep it on-topic [18:53] when i clicked it it took me to the browers to some server site [18:53] mechbangirc: Yep like mzz said - reverse shell is the way to go. Basically you get this server to connect to your computer via ssh, and you connect back over another port. The catch is that you need to get this server to connect to yours - you can do this with a little bash scripting, to get it on the server is another problem though - do you have physical access to the box? [18:53] thuglife222, no copy it with ctrl-c or 'copy' after highlight.

[18:55] good idea :) [18:55] np [18:55] let's give it a try [18:56] durt: can you paste bin it to me plz [18:56] it's creating the confusion........ the whole text change when you paste it on the main [18:56] mechbangirc: you'll need some way to get the server to establish the connection (which could be as primitive as getting someone with physical access to type the required ssh command) [18:56] I tested an Empathy 2.26.1 voice chat connection with a remote partner using Ubuntu 9.04 and XMPP. I could understand him well but he understood only 5% of my speech. Where can I find guidance to analyze the problem and troubleshoot?

That file is pretty messed up. Let me fix it up for you and paste the whole thing in a pastebin. [18:57] mzz: thats the problem i dont think any body would be able to do that on server. non technical people there. [18:57] sure durt [18:57] that's what i am talkin about [18:57] fix it and send it to me so that for once i paste it and things for right [18:57] go* [18:58] i will see it later. thanks for the suggestion specially about reverse shell [18:58] mzz, is there any function in python to know which version of ubuntu i'm using ? [18:58] will you guys help me get my audio working in ubuntu lastest verson it hdmi connected via ATI All in Wondwer HD? [18:58] durt: at my side light will go any sec coz its load shedding here ....... it will come back after 1 hour [18:59] so in mean while if i goes dc... i will be back after 1 hour [18:59] msg me then [18:59] xisco: not really, I think.

I downloaded targz, untarred and then you can see what is happening here: http://mongodb.pastebin.com/d266a306b there is a full set of executables and bash complains "No such file or directory" [19:11] Goldline, you can get the same packages from the ubuntu archives [19:11] HUH? there's a file system on my new disk, with /usr and /etc/ and lib/ and /mnt and stuff alreayd [19:12] that's WEIRD [19:12] running ubuntu 9.04 [19:12] uatec.. thats because thats what mkfs.ext3 does...lol. It creates an ext3 on the disk [19:12] but can i switch back to dos mode back and forth - thats what i want switch between the desktop / server edition with one simple command [19:12] phillipsm: not sure how to enable roaming mode, if it isn't enabled by default then Its probably not, since i have not configured anything other than installing the driver for it === xomas is now known as xomas_ [19:12] mzz: there is an "X0" [19:12] Goldline, you can press ctrl+alt+fN where N=1 to 6. If N=7, takes you back to desktop [19:13] rittyan: pastebin "ldd mongod"? [19:13] norbi: it should be under your network settings under administration [19:13] fiyawerx: weird, then I'd expect DISPLAY=:0 to work... [19:13] fiyawerx: or :0.0 for that matter [19:13] mzz, "not a dynamic executable"... [19:13] mzz, binary is 32bit and I am running 64 [19:14] rittyan: "scanelf -n mongod" (forgot what package ubuntu has scanelf in) [19:14] rittyan: err, forget that [19:14] rittyan: you're probably missing some 32 bit compat package, but I don't know which [19:14] in xchat, is there way to "not show" the join/quit messages ? [19:14] rittyan: oh, actually do run scanelf after all :) [19:14] phillipsm, i thought it was just the file system, not the entire directory tree [19:14] hmm, it worked this time, tried again with :0.0 [19:14] thanks [19:15] not working [19:15] hey [19:15] thuglife222, take a look, http://pastebin.com/m4ef23494 [19:15] phillipsm: Under system->administration-> I don't have network settings, only option I have is network tools, under which i can't find an option to set up roaming mode [19:16] with a high user-base channel like ubuntu, the join/quit messages take up >75% space. and makes it v.tough to follow the useful conversations here.. [19:16] I have configured vino-server for sharing the screen from gdm, and i was wondering if anyone knows how to change the name used for advertising the service on the local net [19:16] any ideas? [19:16] uatec: well if im not mistaken thats what the filesystem is..the directory structure for your distro will be the same even if its not ext3 [19:16] norbi: any success finding that? [19:16] yay, it worked phillipsm [19:16] ubottu, help xchat features [19:16] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:16] !join | rangzy [19:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about join [19:17] !part | rangzy [19:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about part [19:17] *shrug* [19:17] phillipsm, i was interpretting it as the system which stores where on disk files and directories are stored as well as their properties [19:17] hello brothers , what does s mean here in : rwxr-sr-x ?

[19:17] phillipsm: I don't seem to have that option under system-> administration ... i only have "network tools" which doesn't seem to give me that option to turn roaming mode on [19:17] lol thats funny [19:17] !philosophy [19:17] freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [19:17] treyh: have fun in a PM [19:17] I had to go back to windows because of proprietary software,is it possible to run ubuntu with only open source software and still have flash movies,java ,etc...? [19:17] LjL: sorry [19:17] helper, setuid root [19:18] im not a bot [19:18] Rob0917: flash movies: some. java: yes, afaik. [19:18] grawity and in rwsxr-xr-x ? [19:18] norbi: the network tools has an option for wireless if you edit the properties of it there should be a roaming mode [19:18] sbasuita: that's setgid, not setuid, and not necessarily root [19:18] ! ubottu [19:18] 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 [19:18] Rob0917, I am doing that now, completely windows free, but not everything is 100% compatible [19:18] helper: that's setuid. [19:18] thanks [19:18] helper: when you run the program that has setuid, then it has the rights of its owner. [19:18] grawity u mean the owner of the file who create ? [19:19] what do you use for flash movies [19:19] helper: yes. [19:19] /nick Tcl [19:19] !join [19:19] anyone know how to set up a mail server [19:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about join [19:19] grackner thx [19:19] /nick Tcl === Wall is now known as Guest61170 [19:19] helper: for example, if a program is setuid, and its owner is root, then when you run it it will have root rights. [19:19] hi, is there a way to run MS office on Ubuntu? [19:19] !part === Ady is now known as Tcl [19:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about part [19:19] Q: I've poured over xorg docs, card-specific howtos, and still cannot for the life of me get SLI working. It also doesn't automagically find the highest resolution (1920x1080) but gets to half that (960x540). This may be an underlying cause. I'm running two 6600GTs on an HDTV, and the nvidia utility save save changes, either. I've tried the forums, google [19:19] !botabuse | rangzy [19:19] rangzy: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [19:19] Jezz: iirc it might run in wine, but are you sure you actually need ms office? Is openoffice not handling some document? [19:20] is openoffice compitable with ms2007? [19:20] uatec: hows the install coming? [19:20] documents* [19:20] hi grawity [19:20] grawity mean if program is setuid 0 for root, if another user try to run it won't work expect for root right? [19:20] LjL, is there a way to hide the join/part messages in xhcat ? [19:20] Can ubuntu use pfa fonts? [19:20] jezz: v3 of open office is supposed to but i don't have experience with it [19:20] ok [19:20] helper: No, it will work, and it will have the power of root no matter who runs it. [19:20] and does vmware server runs on it? [19:21] helper: For example, /usr/bin/passwd is setuid root, and that means it can do root-only things (such as update /etc/shadow). [19:21] *can't save changes, even [19:21] jezz: i don't understand what your asking? are you asking if open office run on vmware? [19:21] helper: if other users should not be able to run it you should remove the "x" bit for "world" (and possibly "group") [19:21] anyone know how to set up mail server on ubuntu 8.04 [19:22] rangzy: i'm not sure, i use another client [19:22] helper: btw, setting a random program to setuid usually isn't enough; it needs to ask for privileges itself too. (I think so) [19:22] Can ubuntu use pfa fonts? [19:22] grawity: no [19:23] crap, I gtg...bbl. Sorry. [19:23] mzz: No? [19:23] grawity got u this mean +s for all users can see it this is the only benieft? [19:23] grawity: if it's setuid it'll run as root. You're probably thinking of some programs that are meant to be setuid root *dropping* privs. [19:23] I just reinstalled ubuntu and I have my old installation partition still available with the entire old installation. I mounted it in ~/old. I want to remove most of this partition with rm ~/old/bin ; rm ~/old/lib for example, but I know there are lots of symbolic links that point towards the REAL /bin and /lib.. How can I first (and safely) eliminate these symbolic links so that my new install will be safe? [19:23] phillipsm, formatting done, it's installing software now [19:23] err, that was wrong [19:24] HELLO OUT THERE [19:24] grawity: if it's setuid it'll run as the user owning it, not necessarily root, of course. But the program does not have to cooperate. [19:24] LjL, no prob thanks. [19:24] Is there a "best way" to clear out old kernel versions in /boot? Or should I just delete them with rm? [19:24] uatec... alright if you got past the point before than you should be in the clear... i had your exact problems b4 installing ubuntu and i fixed em by removing the partitions with my xp disk [19:24] uatec...good luck then [19:24] I found it! rt-click on channel -> settings -> "hide join/part messages" [19:24] grawity: in practice many utilities that are only setuid because they need to do one particular thing drop their root privs after they're done with them. This needs app support. [19:24] phillipsm: under network tools I select wireless network interface (wlan0) it gives me information and statistics but nothing about roaming mode ... there are tabs for ping/trace/portscan etc. no luck [19:25] mzz: So it only applies to setgid? When I tried to write a setgid app, I had to call setregid(1234,1234) before doing anything. [it was owned by group 1234] [19:25] mzz the benieft of setuid so all users can see this file or folder right ? [19:25] grawity: really? I might be confused. [19:25] mzz: I haven't tried with setuid though. [19:25] helper: are we talking about "s" on a directory or on a file? [19:25] I randomly have the problem of my mouse not clicking on stuff and my keyboard not working [19:25] mzz folder ! [19:25] I tried sudo rmmod psmouse && sudo modprobe psmouse [19:25] mzz and file [19:25] that fixes the mouse, but not the keyboard [19:25] I have a few questions concerning partitions.... [19:26] hi all [19:26] gumpish, I too have the same query.. [19:26] I can type, but I cannot alt+tab [19:26] whats up??? [19:26] hi all [19:26] where all the network file systems are mounted? [19:26] hdd/cdrom etc are in /media [19:26] Tonygaspipe: just ask,dude [19:26] but where are the network partitions are mounted? [19:26] users shows logged in users , but how do i get a list of created users ? ( without checking in the /etc/passwd ) === Yoshi is now known as Guest88155 [19:27] how can I restart the X server? [19:27] rangzy: I think the way to clear them out is by searching for them in synaptic and choosing Mark for complete removal... [19:27] grawity: just tried with a root:root setuid copy of "touch", and it lets me create a file in /var. I'm pretty sure touch isn't setreuid-ing to root [19:27] rangzy: but I'll know in just a minute =) [19:27] gumpish, sure. I shall wait too [19:27] mzz_: do u have wireless?? check batt levels . . ??? [19:28] mzz: I suggest trying with the 'id' command, it actually shows its own uid/gid [19:28] mzz_: do u have wireless keyboard and mouse?? check batt levels . . ??? [19:28] jag_, try the finger command [19:28] jag_: I do have wireless, but I'm pretty sure you got the nick wrong :) [19:28] grawity: good idea. Probably differs because an app can have multiple allowed gids and only the one uid though. [19:29] mzz difference i know x is for execute, the s also can execute ? [19:29] I tested an Empathy 2.26.1 voice chat connection with a remote partner using Ubuntu 9.04 and XMPP. I could understand him well but he understood only 5% of my speech. Where can I find guidance to analyze the problem and troubleshoot? [19:30] lag [19:30] helper: you may want to read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_system_permissions#Symbolic_notation and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_bit [19:30] When I installed, i made my / partition relatively small to keep myself from installing random software i would never use... however i made it too small, now I need to make it larger, gparted seems unable to do what i need it to do. [19:30] bullgard4: You might want to try #gnome since it is one of Gnome Apps. [19:30] hi guys! someone knows a good ebook to learn C? [19:30] rangzy: Yep, that does it [19:30] helper: it's a bit confusing because that third char (the -, x or s one) is actually showing the state of more than one bit [19:31] Pafs321: ask ##c [19:31] mzz ok thx , i read sticky mode use for folders to prevent the non owner of folder not modify it right ? [19:31] mzz: Here, take a look: http://sprunge.us/Peca [19:31] Tonygaspipe: are you trying that in live CD,you cant do that on normal ubuntu system? [19:31] gumpish, thats nice. and, do we need to ensure it by doing a reboot ? [19:31] yes [19:31] live CD [19:31] hi all.... i just converted my in-place upgraded from ext3 to ext4 ... but it says that to get full benefits of ext4 online defrag to refresh the files is necessary? how do i do it? [19:32] jrib: what you mean? that's the name of the book? [19:32] =/ as long as you don't try to remove the current version of your kernel you should be fine. synaptic handles all of the necessary GRUB changes. === Mud|verkouden is now known as Mud [19:32] Pafs321: no, that's the name of the channel where your channel is more appropriate [19:33] oh [19:33] ok [19:33] rangzy_: thanx , I also found "id" command now . . [19:33] Pafs321: questio* [19:33] n [19:33] I am unable to reduce my /home partition to create unallocated space... thats about it [19:33] grawity: hmm, I'd have to read up on what real versus effective gid means. [19:33] jrib: thanks, andsorry for asking in the wrong place [19:34] I'm trying to get grub to boot between 2 different windows installations. Unfortunately, the copied installation has internal pointers to the original disk partition. Does anyone happen to know how to change the boot configuration inside of windows? [19:34] Pafs321: no problem [19:34] i am able* [19:34] gumpish, does synaptic removed the grub menu entries also ? [19:34] i want to chat while game as the same time , i have to keep switching to tty at the moment any better alternatives ? [19:35] coreyo: maybe ##windows know much more [19:35] Hi [19:35] any ideas on this problem? [19:35] I just have a small question. [19:35] mrskynet: brute force solution: get more hardware :P [19:35] which tg3-driver is it in Ubuntu Jaunty? [19:35] coreyo_: wont it be easier yo just boot with a ubuntu livecd and edit grub that way ?? [19:35] nmvictor, woah, a windows irc channel? [19:35] mrskynet, what chat client do you use ? with xchat / pidgin, you just need to do alt-tab, to switch b/w game and chat [19:36] hey all, i hear a lot about mplayer and vlc being able to play any type of media codec, but if i have the ubuntu-restricted-extras package, doesn't totem pretty much play everything? [19:36] I'm trying to find out but I don't find it...I s*ck =( [19:36] nephish: ideally, yes. === clas33k is now known as prenzik [19:36] mzz now i make dir called moed and then put own and group to root and mode +rws and then using user test i try to read i can but modify like delete i can't permission denied this is ? [19:36] rangzy, i have to use pidgin for xfire plugin else i have no one to talk to =( [19:36] coreyo:yea,with some connection to ubuntu i think. [19:36] nephish: ymmv and all that. I don't think I've run into anything gstreamer (and therefore totem) couldn't handle recently. [19:37] has the issue been fixed with ubuntu releases that previously prevented users from installing from a CD? [19:37] mzz, cool, i like totem [19:37] mzz: thanks [19:37] nephish, I am not sure about the details, but for me totem installs the new plugins everytime, and never plays anything. so I use mplayer [19:37] helper: file suid/sgid works totally different from directory suid/sgid [19:37] Anybody? [19:37] nephish: it's just useful to try in a different player if you encounter something not playing in totem. Totem uses gstreamer as backend, mplayer and vlc have their own backends, so sometimes one works better than the other. [19:37] grawity what the different in permission u mean ? only different ? [19:37] argh, keeps hilighting me ;) [19:37] helper: do you mean you can't delete files inside "moed" or can't delete "moed" itself? [19:38] what divx codec package is latest to install for ubuntu? [19:38] Whiz2_: LOooooooong ago . . [19:38] mzz i can't delete files inside moed [19:38] hey, here's an interesting question [19:38] okay so i got ubuntu installed, works perfect, i just have to get the airport installed, how do i do this? [19:38] what? [19:38] helper: did those files correctly get the owner/group of the user who created them? [19:38] jag_: cool... cuz i gave up on it when i had that issue and went back to windows... now i'm going to put it on another system, and try again [19:38] helper: the idea is that only the owner can delete those files. [19:38] mzz i did the owner and group root and i am in user test [19:38] how can i possibly increase the maximum volume of my laptop? on windows it goes quite loud, but on ubuntu i've got it on full volume and i'm having trouble hearing over my george foreman's hissing away [19:39] mzz ya that's what i meant :) [19:39] I initially installed ubuntu to /dev/sda1. Now I would like to mount /dev/sda2 to /home. Can someone tell me the options that should go in fstab? [19:39] ?? [19:39] Anybody know where an Xubuntu IRC is? [19:39] Whiz2_: I am rinning win and ubuntu . . stable as acan be . . windows JUST for games . lol [19:39] runt #xubuntu [19:39] uatec... im not sure about that... I had the same problem on mine with just regular speakers [19:39] #xubuntu [19:40] Thanks. [19:40] hi all [19:40] helper: so what are the permissions and owner/group on the file it's not letting you delete? [19:40] will hardy heron work well on an ibook g3?

[19:40] mzz rwsrwsr-x [19:40] mzz i am just testing it so to know that i am understanding it [19:40] uatec do you have the sound maxed in the volume manager? [19:41] yup [19:41] whats your oppinion on samsung laser printers on ubuntu? [19:41] uatec: and alt if you have a physical volume knob on the side of the comp too? [19:41] !printing > alfacat [19:41] alfacat, please see my private message [19:41] helper: can you pastebin the commands you're running? May be easier than having you list all interesting ls -l commands one by one [19:41] nope, no physical volume knob [19:41] let me try again, I recently installed ubuntu, i made my / partition too small and now im needing to make it larger. How do I go about doing this? [19:41] th0r:their is this instructions i was reading today in full circle magazine issue 15 pg 10/11/12 i think it will add to what the rest might give towards your problem [19:41] Uatec, same prob here too. and yesterday although I had plugged in my headphones, the sound was coming from the lptp speakers instead ! [19:42] rangzy, that happened to me before too, on my old laptop, never figured out how to fix that [19:42] Tonygaspipe For a novice that just installed, I would reinstall and repartition manually [19:43] Tonygaspipe: Give gparted a shot.

I'm using Xchat-GNOME IRC Chat on Ubuntu. Does someone know how i can put it so I can see the list of people that are in the chan now? Because now I don't see a list on the right or left side.. [19:43] is there any way to make usb audio in in ubuntu look like sb16? [19:44] Tonygaspipe: maybe bckup then delete your home partition,try what you want and then get you home partition first,but be carefull if you settle for this [19:44] Can somebody please help me? [19:44] Tonygaspipe: You'll have to run LiveCD. You can't partition the HDD you're actively using. [19:44] throuh a ati all in wonder hd card and yes i have installed the driver allready [19:44] Tonygaspipe, is the free space you created beside the root patition? [19:44] i am aware... i was using live CD [19:44] **get your home partition back [19:44] I found out that the cheapest tonners on stapples, are from samsung, just want to know if ther printer drivers work fine [19:44] hmm, phillipsm it can't find alsamixer to install :( [19:44] what is elad1 used for exactly ?

[19:45] Tonygaspipe: To enlarge another partition using the free-space you might have to move partitions around a bit so that the free-space is next to the partition to enlarge. [19:45] The guy in charge of alacarte sometimes hangs out here... is he in today? I found what I think is a bit of a show stopping bug causing all kinds of headaches on the forums [19:45] Tonygaspipe pastebin your sudo fdisk -l for people to review [19:45] thats probably the gnome gui for it along with the package itself [19:45] ok thanks mobi-sheep [19:45] uatec ^ [19:46] jag_? [19:46] k, one sec... [19:46] jag_, Elad is my first name. [19:46] Tonygaspipe if you made free space on an extended and want it on a primary partiton it will be much more of an issue [19:46] Bman_: maybe you narrowed that window without knowing,trying dragging the sides of the window as if to widen it [19:46] Uatec: was that directed at me?

[19:48] shortlord: no, you have to either use "aptitude purge packagename" or "dpkg -P packagename" [19:48] shortlord: See "apt-get --help" It is thee. [19:48] mobi-sheep: How do I install it? Can't find it in Add/remove apps.. [19:48] shortlord: don't bother with "apt-get --help" apt-get can't do it [19:48] http://paste.ubuntu.com/175867/ [19:48] elad_: NO . . lol I mean the COMMAND elad` . . .??? [19:48] I don't think there's such a command. [19:49] Anywhere. [19:49] Bman_: Run "aptitude search xchat" in the terminal. [19:49] Bman_: Are you relatively new to linux? [19:49] yes mobi-sheep, but know the terminal so that won't be a prob :) [19:50] Tonygaspipe that is gonna be a pain to add space to / assuming sda1 is root [19:50] Bman_: Okay. If you found a package you want to install. Do this "sudo aptitude install xchat" <--- That's an example. [19:50] it is [19:50] heyo there everyon. have been having a bad issue with my Canon I 450 printer (driver Gutenprint for Canon I560 works a charm on all other ubuntu version). when i install the printer, it works until reboot and does not do anythin any more after. removing it and reinstalling it after plugging it to another usb port worked once - now it doesnt anymore. it's a pain - jaunty in general has been way more buggy for me than intrepid , [19:51] Tonygaspipe to pull space down you would need to remove the entire extended partition add the space to sda1 and rebuild the extended [19:51] shortlord_: apt-get --help - this might help .. [19:51] shortlord_: apt-get --help , also u can try sudo aptitude ??- this might help .. [19:51] elad_: ummm . . . well its on my ubuntu [19:51] thanks mobi-sheep ;) it said so in terminal itself so i already done it [19:51] mobi-sheep, whats the difference between aptitude install and apt-get install ? [19:51] why won't my Sony memory stick pro duo show up on Ubuntu 9.04? [19:52] rangzy: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/aptitude [19:52] hi mobi-sheep [19:52] hrnmmm [19:52] i'm on xchat now, thanks :) [19:52] Bman_: Look in the menu. :) [19:52] rangzy Ubuntus' apt-get is not the same as the apt-get from others, ours has most of the same features as aptitude [19:52] how can i install Flash for firefox in Jaunty? i downloaded the .deb and forced the install (after installing libcurl3), and i've even installed flashplayer-install in synaptic. i still can't get any flash applets to run in firefox. what gives? [19:52] yeah now i see it cool :) [19:52] elad_: I think its a script that previous admin wrote . . lol - his name was prob also elad . . [19:52] so i had may as well just reinstall === diego is now known as Guest37502 [19:52] dtom2444: i'm almost sure MemmorySticks are not supported by the kernel. [19:53] how can i hack a wireles internet connection is there a generator [19:53] Tonygaspipe You can change what you have, make sda1 your /boot etc, but in general, reinstall [19:53] lame [19:53] narsil We dont spport those activities in here [19:53] narsil not sure if thats what this irc is for, but no, the only way to hack Wifi is if its wep, as WPA is amazingly hack proof [19:53] stew, aptitude purge packagename does not what I want. I have some packages that were previously installed and left some .folders in my home, I would like to delete all of these [19:54] i messed up my ubuntu desktop [19:54] Jack_Sparrow, okay. [19:54] i deleted the desktop folder from my home directory, and now somehow my desktop is my home directory [19:54] mib_6uv719: haven't we all? lol [19:54] yea, dang, thats what i was trying not to have to do... at least i wont loose data... from my /home [19:54] shortlord: none of the package management tools will ever touch files/directories in your home [19:54] Amaranth.. I just filed a new bug against alacarte, if you have a second could you see if you can confirm it? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alacarte/+bug/378422 [19:54] phillipsm LOL [19:54] so any ideas [19:54] WPA2 is even harder to crack :) [19:55] AgentHeX: would you please check if libflashplayer.so is in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins [19:55] stew, so I have to delete them all manually? [19:55] mobi-sheep, works fine. only thing i need to find now is how to join some channels automaticcaly on another server as this one, + before joining a channel it must type /msg nickserv identify automaticcaly.. you know how this works? [19:55] shortlord: Manually remove the folder. -- That would work. [19:55] mobi-sheep, thanks for that link. it says, the main difference is wrt the uninstallation part. but what about "apt-get autoremove" [19:55] deany i use 256bit blofish encryption for my wifi [19:55] narsil: check out aircrack-ng. you'll have to put your wireless adapter in monitor mode. if the network is WEP encrypted or has a weak WPA key, then you might be able to derive it from offline brute force on a packet stream, but if it's WPA and has a moderately complex password, it will take you a long time. [19:55] so when you browse through your directories it looks like /home/yourname/ and then there is no desktop? [19:55] rangzy: I don't know as I stick with aptitude, not apt-get. :) [19:55] mib_6 ^ [19:55] Bman_: It's in settings. XChat --> Network List. [19:55] phillipsm [19:55] mobi-sheep, oh. okay. thanks [19:55] yes [19:55] shortlord: yes [19:55] i deleted it by mistake [19:56] nmvictor: all i have is flashplugin-alternative.so [19:56] did you rm -f it? [19:56] and now when i go to my home dir its my desktop [19:56] and, apt-get autoremove This command removes an installed package and dependencies. from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto#Removal%20commands [19:56] wpa2 is 256bit isn it? well wpa2 and mac filtering is enough for me. [19:56] shortlord_: doesnt the purge option wipe it ? or the clean ? [19:56] hidden ssid of course. [19:57] deany: you can spoof MAC addresses. they are more or less useless. get a random WPA key, and you'll be fine. [19:57] phillips no i just deleted the desktop folder, that usually resides in my home folder [19:57] mib_6uv719: thats strange...you should try $ mkdir Desktop from the terminal when you are in the /home/yourname directory [19:57] jag_, shortlord : are you discussing abt removing the config files alone, after uninstalling the pkgs ? [19:57] tried that [19:57] ok, second question... quite often, while typing swiftly, my cursor begins to jump around, doing strange things... moving text around, apparently pasting things that arent on the clipboard [19:57] I said I use WPA.. [19:57] but the folder desktop that i just made is then stored on my desktop [19:57] AgentHeX:thats the problem that file is in /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/ copy it to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins then restart your browser [19:58] unless someones out to get me, im good... [19:58] thx mobi-sheep :) [19:58] deany same lmao, my router has its own standard of sucurity lmao [19:58] deany: yes, and you also said you use a MAC address as authentication. i wouldn't bother with MAC filtering. it's useless. WPA/2 alone should suffice. [19:58] Tonygaspipe: Are you on a notebook wiht a touchpad? [19:58] o wow...I'm not sure what to do about that...when you save something on the actual desktop and browse to the folder in a terminal is it in the desktop folder or the home one? [19:58] how do you take a screen shot? [19:58] AgentHeX wouldnt mind telling me how to spoof mac address [19:59] i am indeed, and no, im not bumping the touchpad lol i make sure of it. [19:59] gpled, press print screen.... [19:59] Tonygaspipe, same thing with my HP DV5 laptop too. I switch-off the trackpad while using ubuntu [19:59] gpled: Use PrntScrn button. [19:59] ifconfig eth0 hwaddr FE:ED:DE:AD:BE:EF [19:59] mib_6uv719: man ifconfig if you need more info [19:59] has anyone here installed ubuntu on the second disk of a machine running windowson the first disk? I get a grub error 22 on boot and subsequent nothingness [19:59] Tonygaspipe: Try disabling the emulation of clicks on the touchpad ;) worked out fine for me [19:59] anybody here having probs with their printer under jaunty too? its installed but doesnt do anything anymore. [19:59] !grub | aethelrick [19:59] aethelrick: 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 [19:59] AgentHeX thats great [19:59] jag_, no, the purge did not remove the .folders, I guess I'll just remove them manually [20:00] rangzy, yep [20:00] does it put the image in a file, or a clip board? [20:00] Tonygaspipe: System -> Prefeences -> Mouse -> Touchpad [20:00] how would i go about doing such a thing? [20:00] thanks [20:00] mib_6uv719: actually, that might not be entirely accurate. google for the rest if it fails. [20:00] gpled doesnt it pop up [20:00] AgentHeX will do [20:00] gpled: if you are on gnome or kde, it will ask you where to put it [20:00] hmmm [20:00] let me try it again [20:00] Q: I've poured over xorg docs, card-specific howtos, and still cannot for the life of me get SLI working. It also doesn't automagically find the highest resolution (1920x1080) but gets to half that (960x540). This may be an underlying cause. I'm running two 6600GTs on an HDTV, and the nvidia utility cant save to conf, either. I've tried the forums, google etc [20:00] Tonygaspipe: one line above your post ;) [20:00] mib_6uv719: i know people who preach using ip instead of ifconfig, but i'm not aware of a way to do MAC spoofing with ip. [20:01] AgentHeX i try to avoid terminal haha [20:01] mib_6uv719: try this http://linux.indhran.info/2008/04/restore-your-desktop-folder-in-ubuntu.html [20:01] lol [20:01] (asked about an hour ago, but I had to go as security called me) [20:01] how i install a tar.gz progr. [20:01] mib_6uv719: not a good idea if you plan to do anything useful in linux (or fix problems) [20:01] radi82, thanks for that tip. I think it helps here [20:01] narsil: extract it, configure it, make it, then make install it [20:01] narsil: read the instructions in the readme file first, see what you get [20:01] AgentHeX I do use it when required, but i tend to use GUI for most things [20:02] Phillipsm will try now, thanks! [20:02] nmvictor: same problem. plugin fails to load. wtf? [20:02] np [20:02] doh. i wanted to show my menu selection: System -> Administration -> synaptic. but you can not have that open when pressing print screen [20:02] CLI is so much more precise tho <3 [20:02] PhillipsM worked like a charm, thanks! [20:02] though ive been using linux off and on for about 3 years now. im still a noob, obviously. I just prefer its security over windows... im not constantly having to clean up my machine... [20:02] any idea how to show a menu selection? [20:03] rangzy: if you use an external mouse you could also completly disable the touchpad [20:03] good to hear [20:03] radi82, yes thats what I do generally. but touchpad is more useful sometimes ! [20:03] i need to get myself a mouse is what i need to do... but im laid off atm so i cant by stuff like that right now [20:03] is their a way to record a video showing how i do thing? [20:03] shortlord, see if this is what you want https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-tweak/+question/20904 [20:04] mib_6uv719: fyi that was the second choice when i googled....restore desktop folder ubuntu....lol [20:04] nmvictor: copied the plugin module to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins, but i can't get youtube to load videos. i also have a symlink to flashplugin-alternative.so -> /etc/alternatives/firefox-flashplugin [20:04] gpled look for Istanbul in Add/remove [20:04] !scrot | gpled [20:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about scrot [20:04] !info scrot | gpled [20:04] gpled: scrot (source: scrot): command line screen capture utility.

[20:14] Hello all, when I am not getting sound when I open youtube videos in firefox... My sound is otherwise working. I tried to follow the fix to update /etc/firefox/firefoxrc, but the /etc/firefox directory does not exist [20:14] note to self: youtube is the WRONG place to go to install flash [20:15] is there a package that contains a script for /etc/init.d to start the Xserver in ubuntu, without using gdm/kdm? [20:15] greetings! new to linux and ubuntu. How do i track down things.. something sends a loud beep to my speakers on shutdown... [20:15] beehive: unrar --help . . . there is a lot of opts . [20:15] this occures after skype install === nerdshark_ is now known as nerdshark [20:15] AgentHeX: Okay. I think you will face flash-related issues in the future. If it worked now, then I'm glad. :) [20:16] mib_6uv719 yes i've changing settings in that ... no matter if compiz is running or not it still has flickering [20:16] rangzy: i have a question..... what is basically koffice vs openoffice? [20:16] thuglife222, whats the error? pl use pastebin [20:16] jaq_ thanks already resolved ... had to use x switch to get it working [20:16] hi, I'm trying to install netbook remix on my LG netbook, but I do not know how to resize my actual partition without loss the data. In the guided installation does not offers me the option to resize. [20:16] thuglife222 ones based on java, ones not [20:16] mobi-sheep: meh. at least i can play crap online. it doesn't bother me. i have both the adobe version and gnash. it'll be fine. [20:17] rangzy: which one is java? open or koffice? [20:17] thuglife oo is based on java [20:17] never mind the beep... is installing kde a good idea? [20:17] blixt depends what you like, i love gnome so yeah [20:17] For some reason, I do not hear sound on youtube videos, can anyone help me with that? [20:17] blixt kde is good but it depends on what you like [20:17] ...is buying Ford a good idea? Just depends on what ya like :P [20:17] thuglife222, Openoffice uses java. but it works without java as well. I guess [20:17] mib_6uv719: i see and its like open office don't offer you working with spread sheets like in windows excel offers [20:18] blixt: You're using Gnome. KDE is a different flavor. Some people like Gnome and some people like KDE. There also are XFCE, OpenBox, etc. [20:18] for those people who are having sound issues in youtube, follow this guide http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_Flash_Player_.28Macromedia_Flash.29_Plug-in_for_Mozilla_Firefox [20:18] but i guess koffice offers all the features like ms office offers [20:18] rangzy not if your running Oo command line [20:18] thuglife222 abiword is an excellent word alternative [20:18] OO does excel files [20:18] huglife222, & I havent used koffice . I prefer gnome . so havent tried koffice [20:19] anybody in capetown have the latest 64bit ubuntu that I can get copy of ? I cant download , no adsl at mo . . [20:19] thuglife222: koffice comes with KDE desktop . . Oppenoffice is better tho [20:19] mib_6uv719: but tell me does it offer excel as well or not? [20:19] ahh.. i c... so with ubuntu the gnome window system is what i am running [20:19] beehive, what ? [20:19] lol [20:19] so kde would simply mess stuff upp i guess [20:19] oh, is there an cmdline option for OOo ? [20:19] that would be great, getting someone to swing by with a dvd [20:19] jag_: Visit your buddy. Borrow their Cable Internet and download a copy. [20:19] didn't really know what kde is [20:19] command line Oo requires java 1.5+ [20:20] blixt !kde# [20:20] yup me too what is kde? [20:20] !kde [20:20] KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information.

[22:25] yoyit2: ...ok, so you mean that the first command didn't work? [22:25] Trojaneyez: no they don't. see xrandr, for example [22:25] Trojaneyez, you were saying before raylu chirped in ?

Thanks [22:25] hi all, i need help please. i ran kubuntu and geting troble in the booting, when i choose at "grub" for any kernal it starts loading my system (kubuntu) and than after 20 sec it's just freeze without doing nothing... just stuck on the screen with th name kubuntu and the blue scroll beneath it freeze too... any1? [22:26] Stargazer can you move just your mouse pointer to the right or left ( depending on your screen arrangement ) [22:26] h4ll0ck: lol same.. solid state is coming soon :) [22:26] winterelf: uname -ra [22:26] raylu correct [22:26] Trojaneyez, i can. [22:26] errr ralmar, uname -ra [22:26] ignore me winterelf [22:26] lol [22:26] yoyit2: i highly doubt you don't have apt-get or sudo. what command did you actually try to run? [22:26] mikeyg: yes... the best alternative [22:26] Trojaneyez, i can navigate my pointer to either screen except when dragging a window. [22:26] i have no idead what's uname-ra means [22:27] raylu i copied and pasted the code into terminal [22:27] hey is there any way to give grub a prettier more graphical interface [22:27] yoyit2: ok, could you copy and paste the line that didn't work here? [22:27] raylu im using jaunty if that makes any different [22:28] raylu if you go on that page you sent me, it shows all the code, i tried all of them [22:28] hey is there any way to give grub a prettier more graphical interface [22:28] yoyit2: but all of it works. since it doesn't, you screwed up, which is why i'm asking you to paste the first line that failed here [22:28] winterelf, "kate /boot/grub/menu.lst" and remove the parameter "splash" on the line where there is your kernel. Then when you'll boot, you won't have the kubuntu logo and progress bar. Instead, you'll see text and you'll be able to know what's wrong. [22:28] linux noob here, anyone want to talk to me about home networking with a one linux machine and one windoze machine? [22:28] winterelf: it's a command you can type into a terminal, to output the kernel in use, among other system information [22:28] dest: removing quiet helps too [22:29] hey is there any way to give grub a prettier more graphical interface [22:29] system404: why? lol [22:29] !repeat | system404 [22:29] system404: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[22:29] Trojaneyez, any ideas? [22:29] cause it looks plain and boring with just the lines for selection id like a more GUI [22:30] is it possible [22:30] Stargazer, so when draggin the window it just stop's you at the screen border? .. I'm trying to get one of my test systems to replicate this .. botch monitor's are same resolution right ? [22:30] lol [22:30] it's a BOOTLOADER [22:30] wo kann man unter Kde nach wlan netzen suchen?

[22:30] raylu what should i do then? [22:30] then you need something besides grub.......... [22:31] system404: you can set a splashimage in /boot/grub/menu.lst [22:31] I'm on 9.04 and my microsoft bluetooth mouse isnt working [22:31] any ideas as to why it's not there [22:31] wat options are there instead of grub [22:31] there are other bootloaders out there besides grub, but let me just say, good luck [22:31] yoyit2: you should do what it says. read the sentence above the line you pasted [22:31] it appears to work but it disconnects immediately after connecting [22:31] ok people , i'll try it and if ther's any problam i'll be right back :O :) [22:31] winterelf, yes indeed. Or you could try to boot in the recovery mode and edit the file from there with nano or vim or something else [22:31] Stargazer hmm [22:31] where will i find some good splash images for grub [22:31] Can someone help me with an apt-get install issue?

[22:32] system404, yeah wrong person [22:32] instead of grub there is lilo, and i forget what else, but im not sure if any of them are gui [22:32] ah ok [22:33] Neconide: no, but update-rc.d may help [22:33] I was in the middle of installing libqt4-dev when the downloading stopped. What should I do? [22:33] hi, I run tsclient in full screen mode and I don't know how switch to other applications nor how to minimize the full screened TS session, anybody can help me? [22:33] niblets_: lilo is not [22:33] anyone else know of a GUI alternative to grub [22:33] niblets_, system404: grub2 is prettier, but undocumented [22:33] system404: read what ejv said [22:33] i have grub2 [22:33] Trojaneyez, it's been a while since i've used ubuntu deeply, where is x.org located? [22:33] besides, I'm using netbook-launcher [22:34] system404, used splash? [22:34] Stargazer, Trojaneyez: the new X doesn't need an xorg.conf [22:34] system404, its still grub [22:34] Stargazer: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [22:34] no i dont know how to [22:34] raylu so i open that file then add the code to it, or do i replace the file with this one? [22:34] raylu, yes you're right. [22:34] i bn using linux for 2 days im a nooooooooooob to the max [22:34] i dont even see what the problem with grub is, i changed my default time allowed to pick an option to 1 second.so it shows up, then disappears, unless you are watching it, you dont even notice it [22:34] yoyit2: no, absolutely not [22:34] raylu: update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/nessusd: file does not exist [22:35] niblets i dual boot so need longer to choose which os i wana run [22:35] seriously people, think for a second, how can a gui, with video and mouse i/o implementation possibly be used before the kernel is loaded... think think think. what you're asking is ridiculous. [22:35] Neconide: er.. that's not how you use update-rc.d try --help or man [22:35] raylu so how do i add it ? [22:35] yoyit2: copy paste? [22:35] Trojaneyez, http://pastebin.com/m43316333 [22:35] raylu: That's not a command, that's a response. [22:35] yoyit2: or do you mean where? [22:35] Neconide: oh. what was the command? [22:35] raylu yeah, so i open that file and then were do i put the code? [22:35] im pretty sure you are out of luck system, i know there are alternatives to grub, but i dont think they are gui [22:36] hi ! i`m searching for a c compiler that work on linux but compiles executables that works on windows? is there anything? [22:36] so how to put a splash image onto grub then [22:36] yoyit2: anywhere, as long as it's on its own line. preferably at the very top or the very bottom [22:36] raylu: If I type update-rc.d nessusd it gives me the error [22:36] ejv: please mind your language here... [22:36] presshere: "cross-compiling" is the keyword you want to search for. be prepared for pain [22:36] system_404: [22:36] Myrtti: pardon?

[22:37] Neconide: i may be confusing it with rc-update [22:37] hi, I run tsclient in full screen mode and I don't know how switch to other applications nor how to minimize the full screened TS session, anybody can help me? [22:37] Neconide: wait [22:37] there! system404 niblets has the link [22:37] raylu: rc-update isn't a command [22:37] ejv: that includes acronyms containing obfuscated swearing [22:37] Neconide: you're not trying to add nessusd to your rc dirctories... [22:37] niblets_: at least he's asking something doable this time [22:37] lol [22:37] heh [22:37] Neconide: you're missing the init script itself... heh [22:37] anyone know why the gamesurge server is not in the servers list? [22:37] did you get the link system? [22:37] raylu: I guess so. [22:37] Myrtti: ahhhhh k [22:37] Neconide: oops. i'd try reintsalling nessus, then [22:38] i forget freenode aint the wild wild west sometimes [22:38] ;) [22:38] raylu: sigh... [22:38] raylu so i saved the file then i went to terminal and entered the next part of code sudo apt-get install amarok-kde3 [22:38] raylu: You do know that nessus and the nessus daemon are completely different applications, correct? [22:38] raylu it says E: coudn't find package amarok -kde3 [22:39] Neconide: yes... [22:39] raylu: So why would reinstalling nessus drop nessusd into init.d [22:39] yoyit2: apt-get update [22:40] daniel@daniel-u9:~$ apt-get update [22:40] E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 Permission denied) [22:40] E: Unable to lock the list directory [22:40] raylu [22:40] Neconide: it wouldn't. i meant "nessus" the application. the package name is "nessusd." seeing as how you know this too, you should have been able to figure that you really need to reinstall the package "nessud" [22:40] yoyit2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:40] where's me fekkin lager? [22:40] now, anyone want to talk to me about networking with a linux machine and a windoze machine? [22:40] niblets_: gibblets?

[22:43] somnoliento: Yes [22:43] hi [22:43] Yar juxbox [22:43] raylu: The whole process is the installation process, not installation. === Guest11562 is now known as nrg === igor_ is now known as Igorj22 [22:43] Hi.. what precautions should be taken when install drivers from external sources? [22:43] Neconide: ...ok? [22:43] raylu: process implies that more than one things need to be done. [22:44] Marfi: no idea, I made a few tweaks to my screenrc, one of the windows should start irssi [22:44] and I defined only 1 connection to freenode so, I dunno [22:44] raylu: Well you're trying to argue with me that unpacking/configuration is not part of the installation process. lol [22:44] Trojaneyez ? [22:44] Stargazer, Sorry , I was doing a bit of reading touching up on xorg.conf config's... had to dust off a book ~ I don't see anything that should be stopping you from doing this.. just out of pure pure pure curiosity, drag the window the opposite direction from where the LCD is , see if your #0 #1 are wrong ~ [22:44] Neconide: no i'm not [22:44] i am trying to start gnome-volume-manager under metacity in 8.04 and it exits immediately with 0 [22:44] Iceman_B1SSH: Gotcha. I know for me if I ctrl X or c irssi, it won't completely exit some times [22:44] Neconide: i'm pointing out that, even though it's part of the process, my point stands [22:44] lakis1982, you go in the directory where you have the .deb. In there, you type "sudo dpkg -r " and then you start writing the program name and you finish by pressing ALT. It will complete correctly the program name. Then you press enter, type the password and you're done. [22:44] very time I ssh in, a server of mine keeps adding me to deny.hosts and I have no idea why. Any ideas? [22:44] Is it possible to do a full (non-live) install from the install cd to a usb drive? (I'v already done the live-to-usb which is fine..) [22:44] dest: s/alt/tab [22:44] Anyone in here know anything about openvpn? [22:45] thanks.. i removed it [22:45] bouncing: Add yourself to the server [22:45] Marfi: k. its weird, ps aux | grep -i irssi only shows 1 process(and the ps command) [22:45] ciao [22:45] Marfi: I have an account. I can login fine. [22:45] off to another channel, since im finding no help here. thanks peeps [22:45] Iceman_B1SSH: It could have exited, and just needs a min or 2 for freenode to kick it [22:45] Marfi: Just once though. After my first login, it adds me to hosts.deny [22:45] Trojaneyez, nope. I know my other monitor is digitally positioned correctly because i can move my mouse in that direction and it appears in the next monitor. [22:45] jyg: Yes [22:45] raylu: and my point stands, even after reinstalling nessus and nessusd multiple times nessusd is not dropped into init.d [22:46] bouncing: And after it lets you in? === Uncle|Sam is now known as uncle|sam [22:46] raylu, oups, thanks. Once again you're right. [22:46] raylu: It's not part of the package. [22:46] Hello [22:46] i am trying to start gnome-volume-manager with the '-n' switch so it doesn't daemonize right away and i get no stderr/stdout [22:46] Neconide: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/nessusd/filelist [22:46] Stargazer, K, I'm kind of at a loss atm, nothing I can find or think of should be stopping you . [22:46] hmm, I dont know [22:46] I have an ethernet modem-router. Should I delete some pppoatm drivers I have in the system? [22:46] just plain exits [22:46] maybe I miscompiled irssi or something [22:46] brb [22:46] raylu, tsss, he's gone without saying goodbye nor thanks [22:46] marfi, thanks [22:46] jyg: Yup [22:46] $cd /boot/grub [22:46] $sudo ln -s splashimages/guitar.xpm.gz splash.xpm.gz [22:46] $sudo update-grub [22:47] will that change my splash [22:47] raylu: Well I might want to point out I have an AMDx64 processor. [22:47] dest: heh. i didn't see the quit, but it could have been just a disconnect [22:47] Trojaneyez, out curiosity... should my pointer be left behind on one monitor while another pointer is on the other? [22:47] raylu: so i386 is irrelevant [22:47] I'm trying to connect to my VPN, I copied all of the crts and key files to /etc/openvpn and then do sudo openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/client.ovpn the connection opens and the vpn works fine, am I doing anything wrong? [22:47] my last try, I run tsclient in full screen mode and I don't know how switch to other applications nor how to minimize the full screened TS session, anybody can help me? [22:47] Stargazer, no [22:47] raylu: but anyhow, it's not trying to drop it in init.d, it's looking for it. [22:47] raylu, my bad. He did say "thanks i removed it" and then he left [22:47] Neconide: but are you on the amd64 version? it's there too, of course http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/amd64/nessusd/filelist [22:47] Dantix: Alt tab? [22:47] evilGUI: what's your question? [22:47] Iceman_B1SSH: run ps -ef | grep irssi | grep -v grep [22:47] Neconide: again, it only looks for it when it runs dpkg --configure, which is after it unpacks it [22:47] raylu: Of course, but I'm just pointing out that I'm not a fan of intel. [22:48] nrg: Do I need to do anything else to be secure? [22:48] raylu: It's not part of the package. lol [22:48] Neconide: it's the second file. [22:48] raylu: Whether that list says it or not it's not trying to drop it in init.d [22:48] How do I go to irc mibbit [22:48] evilGUI: you don't want to copy all of the certs from the server [22:48] Neconide: use dpkg to unpack the deb =\ [22:48] Iceman_B1SSH: Did you log in with another computer? /who of iceman gives n=Iceman@host-85-201-18-61.brutele.be [22:48] Iceman_B1SSH: Which is different from yours [22:48] evilGUI: just the one that was generated fr your system [22:48] Neconide: perhaps aptitude clean will help too [22:48] nrg: I just used the ones my VPN provider gave me. [22:48] no [22:48] raylu thx it worked.. i guess i need to just read more carfully [22:49] im Iceman_B|ssh [22:49] usually [22:49] Marfi: is catched inside de TS session [22:49] raylu: I've tried both. [22:49] same host [22:49] yoyit2: actually, apt-get update wasn't in that tutorial, so it's partially their fault [22:49] raylu: I'm just going to head over to the ubuntu IRC [22:49] raylu: THanks though [22:49] evilGUI: are you running OpenVPN as root? [22:49] Neconide: this is the ubunt uirc.. [22:49] Neconide: *ubuntu irc [22:49] nrg: Yes. [22:49] raylu: The ubuntu irc server [22:49] Neconide: and if you've extracted the nessusd init script from the deb, it should be fine [22:49] i couldn't start audocious [22:49] Neconide: that's a redirect [22:50] evilGUI: if so, you want to make sure those certs are only readable by root:root [22:50] raylu actually it is, just not in the "code" box, its right by the /etc/apt/sources.list [22:50] nrg: What do you mean by generated? can I just use the keys provided by my VPN provider? [22:50] Neconide: host irc.ubuntu.com: irc.ubuntu.com is an alias for chat.freenode.net. [22:50] raylu: irc.ubuntudev.org? lol [22:50] weird, well, no matter [22:50] bbl [22:50] Hi.. what precautions should be taken when installing drivers from external sources? [22:50] oh [22:50] Neconide: yoyit2 ah [22:50] nrg: Alright, I'll chown those. [22:50] do u use audacious on 9.4? [22:50] how do I upgrade to 9.04 ? [22:50] er...whoops [22:50] evilGUI: yes, i thought maybe you configured your only server as well [22:50] raylu: but yeah. Thanks for the help. [22:50] evilGUI: yeah, chown and chmod them [22:50] nrg: ok cool, so that's all there is to it? [22:51] I would like to understand how I use Xchat and go to irc.mibbit [22:51] nrg: Thanks. [22:51] evilGUI: that should be enough [22:51] Iceman_B1SSH: open system > administration > software sources, and on the updates tab, change 'show new distribution releases' to 'normal releases' [22:52] Iceman_B1SSH: then open update manager [22:52] funkyHat: sorry, I only have a CLI :) [22:52] forgot to mention -_- [22:52] Iceman_B1SSH: ah, in that case, do-release-upgrade [22:52] anyone have a recommendation for a deb proxy? a quick search turns up apt-proxy apt-cacher and debproxy is there one that has emerged as the defacto standard? [22:53] with apt-get? or just "sudo do-release-upgrade" ? [22:53] hi [22:53] Iceman_B1SSH: just sudo do-release-upgrade [22:53] #ubuntu [22:53] I had a usb modem but changed to an ethernet router. Should I get rid of the pppoatm driver or is it still needed? [22:53] okay thanks [22:53] bbl [22:53] can anyone paste a ext4 line from fstab? [22:53] !ext4 [22:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about ext4 [22:53] Hello all, Anyone know how I can change my panel color, it is stuck on black. [22:53] ceekay: well going by the "which one I've heard of" rule, I'd say apt-proxy is the defacto standard [22:54] hi everyone i have messed up my grub installation and i'm trying to restore it by booting from the 9.04 alternative cd but when i select (hd0) to restore grub to it spits ut a fatal error. anyone had any experience with this? [22:54] funkyHat: thx :) [22:54] ceekay: we also have a documentation page about it at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptProxy [22:54] dmesg [22:54] paladin, those will be ignored imo you can leave them [22:54] Hutchewon: right click on the panel and click properties, then on the background tab choose 'none', or if that's already selected change it to solid colour and pick a colour [22:55] LjL: :D thx [22:55] i have a dual monitor (with defferent resolutions between them) setup with twinview. however i just want the second monitor to be an auxiliary whenever i need and not be actual extended workspace from the first. can someone help me ? [22:55] dmesg [22:55] Hutchewon: if the normal way doesn't work you might have more success removing that panel and starting with a new one [22:55] ceekay: but then again we have one about apt-cacher too ;) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Apt-Cacher-Server [22:55] she_dyed: they are loaded at each boot and waste time. How can I disable them? [22:55] Thanks, I tried that just changed part of it. The rest stayed black. [22:55] LjL: :) [22:56] anyone know a good app to hide or mask my IP [22:56] ceekay: you've missed "approx", by the way. [22:56] Hutchewon: have you got some weird panel apps loaded that could be causing that? [22:57] somebody know of a good journal/diary programm for linux? [22:57] anyone know a good app to hide or mask my IP [22:57] please for the help me get sound people [22:57] do not assume i now how to do somthing [22:57] hi, my mic doesn't work on 9.04 [22:57] system404: you cannot simply "hide your IP", you need something that proxies you through another connection to achieve that. Tor is a possibility. [22:58] I don't think so. Could Screenlets be the problem.I am using compiz and emerald. [22:58] kavurt: what sort of computer? [22:58] LjL howd do i go about setting that up [22:58] hp pavilion dv200 [22:58] hi everyone i have messed up my grub installation and i'm trying to restore it by booting from the 9.04 alternative cd but when i select (hd0) to restore grub to it spits ut a fatal error. anyone had any experience with this? [22:58] system404: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TOR [22:58] thanks [22:58] system404: but keep in mind this sort of thing will intrinsically risk resulting in slowing down your connection. [22:59] DGMurdockIII: if you open up the gnome volume control window and click on preferences, then tick all of the boxes you see there, then go back to the main volume control window, make sure everything is unmuted, and look on the options and switches tabs and play with the settings there [22:59] giles: but I have kubuntu 8.10 on the same computer. and mic is normal there. it's an hp pavilion dv2000 [22:59] (funkyHat): i'll try that [22:59] Hi, I've been trying to dual-boot ubuntu and windows on two different hard drives and I can't figure it out. Can somebody help? [23:00] kavurt: i just thought you might have a netbook since most of them still have issues with the microphone [23:00] giles: can you pastebin the actual error? (!paste) [23:00] So how would I go about making a file only readable by root? I did sudo chown root:root anything else? [23:00] evilGUI: chmod 600 file [23:00] funkyHat: Thanks. [23:01] evilGUI: sudo chmod go-rw file [23:01] funkyHat: no, but i am booting into the restore environment again so i will have it soon [23:01] evilGUI: bah.. same thing =) [23:01] funkyhat: it was VERY generic though [23:01] raylu: ok, thanks for now. I didn't get to using the proper font yet, but well, I have a few more hints... :-) [23:01] giles: my first guess would be you didn't run grub using sudo [23:02] funkyHat: i've been using the restore grub tool from the rescue mode of the alternate cd, i might try the command line sudo grub-install next, good idea? [23:02] randomly my mouse and keyboard have "issues". At a certain period, I can no longer alt+tab to anything, can't click outside of the active window, can't do much at all really [23:02] I always have to reboot [23:02] PLEASE HELP! [23:02] PLEASE! [23:03] I reboot 10 times a day [23:03] !helpme | jamescarr [23:03] jamescarr: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [23:03] Slart, sorry.. I'm desperate [23:03] it's frustrating [23:03] jamescarr: First of all explain your problem. [23:03] evilGUI: you could also make a /root/private, then just put files in there and only have to set permissions once [23:03] obnox: i'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing [23:03] I tried rmmod psmouse && modprobe psmouse [23:03] funkyHat: That's a good idea. [23:03] but it didnt fix the mouse problems [23:03] How save are the options in powetop on Ubuntu? for example, enable wifi power saving with echo 5 > /sys/bus.../powerlevel for an iwl3945 card [23:03] TOR is only available up to hard heron any alternative [23:03] raylu: bad :-) [23:03] raylu: the terminus font is utterly ugly :) [23:04] jamescarr: lsmod | grep psmouse after rmmod [23:04] obnox: that's what i thought of the xterm default :P [23:04] evilGUI: and even set up an encrypted private directory, because files that are only readable by root can still be read if someone boots from CD or using recovery mode [23:04] raylu: well it is a matter of taste [23:04] LjL: looks like approx may be a good fit for what i want... found a decent (and somewhat recent) comparison of apt-proxy apt-cacher and approx at http://lists.netisland.net/archives/plug/plug-2008-05/msg00038.html [23:04] raylu: neither of us is alone... [23:04] jamescarr: if you really want help you have to give us information about your system.. right now you could be running ubuntu 3.1 on an old VAX machine and a hand crank for power [23:04] jamescarr: for all we know [23:05] running ubuntu 9 on a sony vaio laptop [23:05] Slart: i find mousewheels are better than handcranks [23:05] (funkyHat): nope did not work [23:05] model is ... [23:05] pcg-6q1L [23:05] raylu: there is a tipp about activating Bitmap fonts selectively here: http://www.ubuntutips.net/node/14 [23:05] DGMurdockIII: what soundcard do you have? [23:05] jamescarr: what version of ubuntu..32bit or 64bit, server or desktop (or something else) [23:05] raylu: but it does not work [23:05] raylu: haha.. if only the computer could run on that power alone.. =) [23:05] 32 bit [23:06] jamescarr: wait wait.. put it all on ONE line.. [23:06] well found out the hard way that a bad harddisk will foul up an install...who woulda thought -hah [23:06] raylu: when you are programming and looking at terminal 90% of the time you spent at your desktop, then the terminal font really starts to matter... [23:06] obnox: fc-cache afterwards? [23:06] raylu: did it [23:06] (funkyHat): video card with HDMI ati all in wonder HD http://ati.amd.com/products/aiwhd/index.html [23:06] jamescarr: describe your problem, include your versions and computer info.. all in one line.. adding a "please" might also help [23:06] running ubuntu 9.04 32bit on a sony vaio laptop (pcg-6q1L) [23:06] I'm having trouble dual-booting, I have two hd's with ubuntu and windows on them and I can't figure out how to set it up so that they will dual-boot. [23:06] obnox: i do spend a lot of time on the terminal :P [23:07] raylu: =) [23:07] jamescarr: Did this happen before 9.04? [23:07] at random times throughout the day, in gnome, I can no longer alt_tab to any windows, cant click on anything, etc [23:07] jamescarr: external mouse? or some kind of laptop mouse substitute [23:07] evilGUI, I didnt have linux on it before it [23:07] touchpad mouse [23:07] ceekay: if you decide for a favorite, please feel free to vote it in #Ubuntu-bots [23:07] they keys quit working though too... they only work on the active window [23:07] I can't do much else besides that [23:07] hi everyone i have messed up my grub installation and i'm trying to restore it by booting from the 9.04 alternative cd but when i select (hd0) to restore grub to it spits ut a fatal error. anyone had any experience with this? cheers [23:07] jamescarr: if you boot from a live cd, do you get the same problems? [23:07] I cant alt+access menus [23:08] Slart, hard to say... sometimes it happens in 30 minutes, sometimes it happens after 5 hours [23:08] Link23: reserve a small partition for /boot on the first disk, install windows and afterwards ubuntu [23:08] Slart, to be frank, if I put a liveCD in, I probably won't see it [23:08] it's random [23:08] DGMurdockIII, are you using the ati proprietary driver? [23:08] yes [23:09] hey [23:09] jamescarr: have a look at the file /var/log/syslog .. find the time of the latest instance when you had the problem.. do you see anything in the log around that time? anything that looks like "fatal error, keyboard going bananas" [23:10] Slart, ah ha! It says on like 58 "FATAL: keyboard going bananas" [23:10] :) [23:10] (chuck_): yes [23:10] I have a problem with name resolution. if I ping a local computer it pings a totally different computer although /etc/hosts has a correct entry. Does someone have an idea whats wrong? [23:10] * zenxr throws banana at jamescarr [23:10] jamescarr: wonderful =).. you can pastebin the syslog from around that time.. that way we can see it too [23:10] !pastebin | jamescarr [23:10] jamescarr: 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) [23:11] DGMurdockIII: right, so are you looking at the control panel for the right soundcard then? [23:11] alex116, are you sure you're not pinging a computer behind your router? [23:11] I don't know anything about all-in-wonders, but if they do sound I would imagine they show up as a separate device to your onboard sound [23:12] (funkyHat): there now option for in the ati pannel but i see it listen in the where you change the sound but there is no on that it a blank windows [23:12] So... [23:12] Sh3r1ff: The thing is I have two hard drives, not one. one has windows and the other ubuntu. So I have to delete both of the OS's and partition the first disk just so I can dual-boot? [23:12] alex116: what subnet are you using for your local addresses? [23:12] zensxr: I try to ping "froglet" and the output of the term is: "froglet.stumpfebiel.intern (67.215.65.132)"... when its actually 10.10.168.75 [23:12] 10.10.168.0/24 [23:12] Can one initiate a Ubuntu install through network PXE install and install files from a USB? === bk|away is now known as bk [23:12] how do I get openvz to work in Jaunty?

[23:13] Third3ye: same there [23:14] Third3ye: I haven't heard of anyone installing using PXE, full stop =/ [23:14] Sh3r1ff: so just create a small partition for /boot on the master? how small and what should I put on it? [23:14] (chuck_): i just installed the one it told me to in the ubuntu hardware driver program i thnk it installed the wrong one [23:14] I've installed using PXE, just a regular network install though, no fancy USB stuff [23:14] Hey, is there a way to add .TTF font file so I can use it in Gimp?

Following this guide here, but it's not working. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7310956#post7310956 [23:16] funkyhat it gets stuck in the middle of booting up [23:16] Ubuntu's already installed and I'm using it for this chat. So just delete 9.04 and re-install 8.04 with the /boot in the small partition? [23:16] grub comes up fine, it loads a few things and then hangs [23:17] no error message or anything [23:17] Third3ye: you asking about PXE boot installation? [23:17] ah.

I wonder if it should be sd0 ? [23:29] pw-toxic, data files ok [23:29] Third3ye: which bit did you have a problem with?

[23:37] ntfs supports files by far bigger than 4GB ;) [23:37] how do i reset permissions on folders/files so they are no longer root only? I accidentally copied files to an external as sudo [23:37] for future reference, in order to get the network-manager plugin to behave like the command line vpnc client automatically does, you have to check "use this connection only for the resources on its network" in the routes dialog [23:37] So.. Anyone know how to keep the clock correct when running ubuntu under a virtual server? [23:38] now everything works the way it does if I connect via command line [23:38] why when watching videos in fullscreen do they stutter [23:38] urban_ryoga: sudo chown loginname:loginname /path/to/file/or/directory [23:38] pw-toxic, i meant that you can't avoid ntfs because of the type/size of data you're dealing with [23:38] I set up a udev rule, to run a script, whenever an usb stick is connectet, but it takes about 8 seconds until its run, after i put in the stick. I need to run it immediately on connect [23:38] she_dyed, ah ok ;) === MoTec_ is now known as MoTec [23:38] i have aproblem [23:38] Scunizi: ty [23:38] pw-toxic, i have no such mimit, so here's a drink for you :) [23:38] she_dyed, english is not my mother language ;) i suppose you got feel that ;) [23:39] limit* [23:39] giles: I thought that was what you were doing.... heh [23:39] funkyHat, i'm trying to run "grub-install hd0" from the command line and getting "The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly" [23:39] so with me [23:39] why when watching videos in fullscreen do they stutter when i watch vids in normal screen they run smooth thats with both downloaded videos and streaming videos [23:39] she_dyed, i searched for mimit in dict.leo.org and it told me you probably meant "limit" before you corrected yourself :D [23:39] funkyhat, i was, but there is a gui interface for it on the alternate cd, now i am tryin from the shell [23:40] == Question: Why does monodoc on 9.04 crash when I try to view/edit my custom documentation?

I used vmware for a couple of years then switched and haven't looked back [23:46] sebsebseb: do versions matter? I'm coming from vm 1.0.6. [23:46] funkyhat i tried what you said. moving the file seemed to work fine, but when i restarted gnome, all that happen was my screen flashed 3 times and then stalled again-just as before [23:46] cfdisk is telling me "FATAL ERROR: Bad logical partition 6: enlarged logical partitions overlap" How do I know which partition is partition 6?

I disconnect (through the "safely disconnect the drive") and it disconnect. now I plug the thing on this computer... nothing [23:54] ubugtu, ok [23:54] no error [23:54] phillipsm: nvidia [23:54] pw-toxic am partial to vim (shows tree if you omit the filename) but report that question but this time addressed to php coders maybe? [23:54] repost* [23:54] snell: upgrade to 8.04 [23:54] ubugtu: are you using the 180 driver or the 173 and which ubuntu? [23:54] it says it's sdb: sdb1 but when I mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/MEDIA it says sdb1 is not recongnized [23:54] snell: 7.10 isn't supported any longer [23:54] Yanick_, i dont think it has to do with safely unplugging [23:54] so can anyone help me with the stuttering video issue [23:55] she_dyed, well i'm just looking for a cool gnome code editor ;) [23:55] its not my hardware my hardware is way more than capable so must be a driver issue [23:55] phillipsm: the latest and 9.04. [23:55] she_dyed, on Ubuntu 8.04, there was an error message about "dirty ntfs" and I used to force mount and it worked. but since I "safely disconnect" in windows XP, it always worked. but not anymore [23:55] ubugtu...and you are playing this game under wine? [23:56] fdisk -l shows nothing [23:56] no its actually nexuiz [23:56] no its actually nexuiz phillipsm [23:56] can anyone help with stuttering video issue [23:56] gordon are you here ? [23:57] Yanick_, got a live CD somewhere? i'm running out of options [23:57] she_dyed, how will that help? [23:57] ubugtu: do you have compiz running as well? I know that slows things down [23:58] no phillipsm [23:58] Yanick_: open a terminal, type 'tail -f /var/log/messages', then plug in the drive and watch the terminal...see what it says [23:58] Scunizi: thx for the rec. does it matter if I use vbox 'ose' or any version to open vmdk images? [23:58] Yanick_, see if it works there [23:58] Yanick_, then go back to normal [23:58] better to have no effects :P like F16 :D [23:58] Oh btw so everyone knows I <3 Ubuntu. [23:58] sweetde: no don't think so, but the non OSE version has USB support [23:58] Just installed 9.04 a few days back D: [23:59] Megadrive, today I went back to 8.04 :P [23:59] !love > Megadrive [23:59] Megadrive, please see my private message [23:59] sebsebseb: ah, that is important. how about sound & cdrom? [23:59] (chuck_): i installed it howdo i configer it [23:59] sweetde: that's fine in both versions [23:59] :O [23:59] funkyHat: I'm expecting 1GB [23:59] funkyhat, it looks like ive got the ati radeon x1200 with the vesa driver [23:59] funkyhat, ok, so crazy development turns out when i tried to install grub on hd1 is turned my usb into a super grub disk, i tried repairing my grub install from the sgd but it just spits out a grub error 2 (cannot load stage 1.5) now so i managed to boot back into ubuntu using the sgd anyway [23:59] 9.04 has been really solid on my system, luckiliy
