[00:00] CaMason: did you disable compiz during and after the other monitor was attached or was it on the whole time? [00:00] Gnea, yes, but I can log-out/ log-in to make sure...brb [00:00] matreya6: ok [00:00] Gnea, it was on the whole time [00:00] i just installed transset and xcompmgr since that's what i saw on other websites [00:00] oh, I thought you were just asking who likes transparency :) [00:00] hi [00:01] CaMason: sounds like it inherited some new settings. try removing the current settings like this: mv ~/.gconf/apps/compiz/ ~/.gconf/apps/compiz-old/ logout, login again [00:01] Greyhound-: hehe, "Greyhound" is a name of a band in our country.. Anyways, that's OT i gues.. ^^ [00:01] oh um... it seems compiz is disabled and cant enable [00:02] Gnea ok ill try that [00:02] :) [00:02] Gnea, strangely logging-out/ logging-in seems to change the situation completely. I hear the opening congo's, but not the sounds that should come after that. [00:02] I can't find the setting to make my apt-get autoinstall the recommended packages [00:03] RGEH [00:03] brb [00:03] Gnea, this line when I try to start pulse is a step in the right direction: pulseaudio => E: pid.c: Daemon already running. :-) [00:04] matreya6: ok, go to the sound settings: System->Preferences->Sound and make sure they're all pointing at pulseaudio (the mixer should be the alsa mixer) [00:04] browser keeps crashing when viewing youtube clips .. anyone sees this..?

[00:06] Gnea, done, but no sound yet. The abrupt cutting of of my DVD playback was a pulse issue after all, now my DVD plays normally, but for now without any sounds whatsoever. [00:06] Does anyone know of a good article on how linux & ubuntu are progressing in the marketplace. Google doesn't turn up anything new [00:06] Gnea: not sure I only use ubuntu once in a while .. it plays ok for a couple of clips and then bam.. iceape vanishes [00:07] gavron: what version of ubuntu? === kmkz is now known as A_ [00:07] I had to modify the pulse audio connfig before to get it working and there were updates but i installed there before and it work ok === A_ is now known as _A_ [00:07] anybody here have a slingbox??

[00:16] on a serious note though, you can check on the release page the updates [00:16] Gordito: perhaps you could be a bit more informative with regards to the actual USB device that you're trying to plug into your USB hub? [00:16] chemikalz: just because you are having negative experiences does not mean everyone is [00:16] hey has anyone setup ubuntu to launch firestarter at startup? [00:16] Paddy_EIRE: i know [00:16] there should be an official documentation noting the improvement done over that version. [00:16] SetiAmon: through startup manager [00:17] set to remember what applications were open, or add firestarter to list [00:17] chemikalz: then no need to spread fud to the new members [00:17] chemikalz: are you routing any sound through pulse? [00:17] i tried and it didn't prompt me for a password or anything,BUT it did say i had no net connection,is there a way to have firestarter launch after i get a internet connection,or at least last of the startup programs? [00:17] nope just using alsa mixer [00:17] Paddy_EIRE, thanks for all your help. Gnea helped me out in the end. Sound is working again as it should have done the first time around :-P [00:17] chemilkalz,did that.i'm just interested in delaying its startup [00:17] matreya6: excellent stuff [00:18] SetiAmon: you could change the runlevel at which it starts so that it starts after certain other daemon(s) start [00:18] gnea, it sees my sound card too, it says HDA intel [00:18] aha. Turns out that a new subsection was added in xorg, and that was preventing it loading up [00:18] all working now, and I have my multiple virtual desktops back :D [00:18] CaMason: nice [00:19] thanks Gnea [00:19] :D [00:19] any ideas anyone [00:19] cheers [00:19] Paddy_EIRE, , Gnea, anything *you* have questions about?

[00:46] cls [00:46] ubottu:i downloade the virtual box [00:46] matreya6: well thank you for walking me through it as well, and thanks to gnea and paddy as well [00:46] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:47] owner, please pastebin this: lspci | grep -i network [00:47] i have my grateful dead blasting now thanks to you [00:47] chemikalz, no problem mate! :-D [00:47] owner: you may use madwifi or ndiswapper , your choice. you have to download xp driver and compile driver for linux and then use ndiswapper to load that driver, it will work [00:47] !hi | Chef1411 [00:47] Chef1411: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [00:47] whats the possibility of virus in ubuntu? [00:47] It`s hard to generalise on virtualisation ... [00:48] harpreet_: close to zero [00:48] harpreet:canu suggest me the best book to learn linux?? [00:48] harpreet_, Well, there were some worms (CodeRed for instance), but overall Linux is pretty Virus proof. [00:48] VCoolio1: i have built two systems on which everything works what a common man imagines working on the computer. the last concern is virus [00:49] harpreet_, check this out its good, http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [00:49] my wireless dont show when i run lshw -C network [00:49] harpeet: there are exploits [00:49] matreya6: i believe those worms will be affecting only the path of the program not the root. am i right? [00:49] harpreet_, Windows virusses won't work on the systems [00:49] skima,matreya6,ubottu:can u suggest me any good book to learn linux [00:50] devil: man everything and read the source ;) [00:50] devil:im a newb too, but the internet has TONS of free linux information [00:50] devil: ubuntu pocket guide. free from http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/index_main.html [00:50] matreya6: i know that and i appreciate linux. what if there is wine installed and then some virus comes from windows [00:50] howdy, any of you folks use evolution to connect to a hosted exchange email provider? [00:50] I'm having a hell of a time getting it to work properly [00:50] chemikalz:thanks [00:50] Could someone tell me a good linux compat video card that has svideo in? I'm wanting to sample from my hi-8 camcorder or vcr. [00:50] arand:thanks [00:50] harpreet_, CodeRed was pretty nasty, even on Root level, but any security hole in a program might cause privilige escalation and enable the takeover of your system. For that reason it's best to keep your system updated [00:50] devil:id click arrands link, looks promising [00:50] SkinnYPuPp: nvidia, works great [00:51] harpreet_, any particular model ? [00:51] skima: silverblatz - operating systems? [00:51] harpreet_: svideo IN? [00:51] hehe [00:51] SkinnYPuPp: it starts with 98 or 8 something [00:51] chemikalz:ya i downloaded it [00:51] Dulak: yes [00:51] Dulak, IN is what i'm after [00:51] harpreet_, thanks [00:51] SkinnYPuPp: afaik video cards are out, not in, you'd use a tv-tuner card for in [00:51] harpreet_, If you are behind a NAT router (as most home users are) than there is little to worry about, unless you have explicitly forwarded ports that a program uses that contains a security hole. [00:51] devil: there is ubuntu official manual [00:51] Dulak: some have inputs [00:52] skima;have u link of that [00:52] devil: slack haves its own - and it is good [00:52] Dulak, OIC just needed to know what to look for [00:52] skima:i will install slack [00:52] skima: u are lasy, man ;) [00:52] matreya6: but ubuntu has no open ports by default so there shouldnt be a concern [00:52] devil: im going to dl it right now as well [00:52] devil: but i will find [00:52] harpreet_, If you worry about passing through Windows' Virusses to other Windows users, check out ClamAV, it's free and has it's own primitive frontend, Clamtk [00:52] skima:thanks [00:53] Sorry if this is off topic, but can anyone help me with a problem in Imagemagick? http://codepad.org/xuwO4FE1 [00:53] <|ntegra|> arand: thanx [00:53] SkinnYPuPp: I use a dedicated capture card .. it was about $AU100 in 2004 [00:53] devil: http://www.slackware.com/book/ [00:53] skima:thanks [00:53] matreya6: i had clamav what happened, i installed avast and let it scan my system, it started telling me that daily.cld file in clamav is a virus which i think was false positive [00:53] hello ? [00:53] harpreet_, true, that's why I said "*Explicitly* forwarding ports" [00:53] SkinnYPuPp: I have a hauppage 350 tv-tuner that has s-video in as well as the tv tuner on it [00:53] SkinnYPuPp: 00:0d.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7134/SAA7135HL Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01) [00:54] Dulak, ozzmosis thanks for the info !!! [00:54] harpreet_, that is funny indeed :-) better update to the latest version then, shall we? [00:55] matreya6: i am planning to open a specialized ubuntu linux store . that means i will be selling pcs with ubuntu on it [00:55] harpreet_: whereabouts? [00:55] matreya6: Canada, vancouver [00:55] skima:thanks i downloaded the book [00:55] ozzmosis: vancouver, canada [00:55] harpreet_: great :) [00:55] harpreet_, good idea! [00:55] devil: your welcome and try to avoid windows ;) [00:55] harpreet_: oh, sweet. Like Za Reason or System76? [00:56] Hi. ssh uses my /etc/host file as god intended, but none of my browsers do. Why? (I've flushed the cache, turned off proxies, etc.) [00:56] skima;sure i will divorce window [00:56] devil: i didn`t found ubuntu official book so u must try atself [00:56] harpreet_, Good initiative :-) Of course you need to know all the "selling points" for Ubuntu through and through if you are to convince people. [00:56] I love hooking up ppl with dual boot so they aren't so nervous about the swap, then a few months later they aren't touching the MS any more [00:56] kjcole: it's /etc/hosts [00:56] devil: heh marriagie or civil? [00:56] skima: problem i will find it out [00:56] SkinnYPuPp: ozzmosis, i will devote my own time to educate people in library and won't charge a dime for operating system but only for the machine [00:56] Hello, I need help with my wireless card [00:56] skima:civil [00:56] harpreet_, think you have a selling point there [00:57] harpreet_, you might even consider official Canonical support if you are offering Ubuntu on a professional basis. I believe it is available in Canada. [00:57] hi [00:57] where do i go to see if ubuntu sees it [00:57] ozzmosis: Sorry. Yes. A typo on my part here. (ssh uses /etc/hosts but my browser don't.) [00:57] matreya6: 1.free. 2. no virus. 3. reliable. 4. no nonsense popups 5.stable [00:57] and so on [00:57] apache2 runs with the user www-data, how do i set the permissions on /var/www so that i can edit it with my user? [00:57] matreya6: what does that mean? [00:58] metalfan sounds like you need to add your user to a group with ownership of /var/www/ though i don't know the default group name [00:58] last night I installed UNR (ubuntu netbook remix) using the ppa for the files.. I got a nice netbook interface on 8.04 but I'd like to switch back to the standard ubuntu desktop. I can't switch in sessions on boot and there is no "System" menu item to look in.. Any clues? [00:59] harpreet_, But will you be able to answer common questions like : Why does my sound crackle all the time? I want to play DVD's I want to play MP3's . I want to play World of Warcraft and that sort of questions? [00:59] ok guys i leave [00:59] see you again [00:59] devil, take care [00:59] SkinnYPuPp, my user is in the group www-data, but /var/www is owned by root:root? ive changed that to root:www-data and set it to 775 [00:59] devil: good luck with linux [00:59] SkinnYPuPp, is that save? [00:59] kjcole: is that true even if you set Firefox to "direct connection"? [00:59] Thus far, I've tried firefox, opera, and konqueror. All three ignore the /etc/hosts settings, though ssh correctly follows the changes to /etc/hosts [00:59] matreya6: great idea, i just checked the website, it is available. i have already taken care of all those normal things that people need, commercial dvd, virual printer, etc.etc. [01:00] how do I remove all of xfce/xubuntu and replace it with ubuntu/gnome? [01:00] matreya6,skima,harpreet,yanik,arrand:thanks and take care see ya [01:00] I don't want left over packages please [01:00] metalfan_, I'm not the expert on that just know a few basics' [01:00] harpreet_, check out this site: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/paid [01:00] SkinnYPuPp, thx [01:00] ozzmosis: That's just turning off the cache, right? I've done that, but let me double check. [01:01] harpreet_, another thing to keep in mind is to keep up to date on the Linux Hardware Compatibility list, especially All-in One printers as these can be a pain in the *ss to set up, if they even work (fully) [01:01] ozzmosis: I'm having a bad day. I meant "turning off the proxy" [01:01] harpreet_, Good luck with your business! [01:01] Hi guys.. [01:02] matreya6: hp printers mostly work. thank you [01:02] what does # [01:02] Screen 0 "Screen0" 640 0 [01:02] this mean in xorg.conf? [01:02] I need some help to boot my USB with VMware ESXi installation software.. [01:02] that 640 and 0 [01:02] harpreet_, Yes, but some people allready *have* peripherals. [01:02] I mean boot via Grub [01:02] ersun [01:02] kjcole: yeah. there's a user-wide HTTP proxy setting that some browsers honour. there might also be a system-wide one. [01:02] I'm told that when I install a Windows OS it will rewrite and remove GRUB. How can I back up my GRUB menu.lst and reinstall it after installation? [01:03] I've read about GRUB so I just need to know if I need to set a kernel with some arguments or whatever? [01:03] !enter | maveas [01:03] matreya6: true, just like lexmark. none of the printer works on ubuntu [01:03] maveas: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [01:03] hello [01:03] Ok matreya6 === Paraselene__ is now known as Paraselene_ [01:04] is there any reason that OpenOffice 3 is not in ubuntu intrepid? [01:04] HauntedSoul: yes [01:04] HauntedSoul: ,becasue they only do security updates [01:04] HauntedSoul: you can get a PPA for Open Office 3 though, or upgrade to 9.04 [01:04] i recently upgraded and now i cant find the session management tool in the menus, any idea where it is? [01:04] (gnome [01:04] I'm told that when I install a Windows OS it will rewrite and remove GRUB. How can I back up my GRUB menu.lst and reinstall it after installation? [01:04] sebsebseb didn't know that! thank you ;) [01:05] HauntedSoul: ok no problem [01:05] Is backing up menu.lst on GRUB enough to preserve it or is there more to it than that? [01:05] harpeet_: canon printers work fine on ubuntu [01:05] byte^: you don't need to back it up [01:05] !grub [01:05] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [01:05] harpreet_, Yes, well...you gotta be prepared for questions from customers just like those. It might be useful to set up a site where your customers ask questions and compile a general FAQ with lots of links for them. It takes some time, but your customers will like you for it, believe me... [01:05] byte^: I think you just need to rewrite the MBR with GRUB [01:05] ozzmosis: No proxy stuff in my environment settings either. [01:05] matreya6: totally agree [01:05] byte^: Windows won't overwrite menu.lst [01:05] last try on Privoxy on Ubuntu 9.04 === saulus_ is now known as SauLus [01:06] byte^: why you need windows? [01:06] kjcole: weird. can't think of anything. [01:06] Alright awesome. [01:06] harpreet_: Unfortunately, I have failed at getting sound working on Ubuntu. [01:06] could somone help me with my wireless card? nothing shows up when i LSPCI [01:06] going out [01:06] bye [01:06] byte^: sound is for lamers ;) [01:06] where is disk defragmenter in ubuntu i have been looking for 2 hours and cant find it [01:06] byte^: which motherboard and which ubuntu version and what card [01:07] owner, what kind of card is ,usb or pci? [01:07] ? My BIOS doesn't support USB boot so I need to know how to boot the installer for VMware ESXi from my USB via GRUB. I've done some of my homework regarding GRUB but I do not know if I need to set a chainloader or kernel to boot the installer from the USB. [01:07] byte^: use braill on tty ;) [01:07] harpreet_, if I were you I'd compile a set of bash scripts to fix common mishaps on Ubuntu before you sell your systems. That way you can avoid a lot of trouble and questions later [01:07] richratt: that's, because there isn't one, since it's not needed [01:07] pci [01:07] !defrag [01:07] The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [01:07] harpreet_: Well I'll have to look up the motherboard (it's a factory mobo for Dell Dimension 3000) but I have Ubuntu 9.04 with a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE [01:07] laptop [01:07] owner, in other distro it works? [01:07] richratt: see above [01:07] I plan on reinstalling Windows to make sure it still works... [01:07] worked fine last night [01:07] works in windows boot [01:08] Then I'll go about debuging it further... [01:08] matreya6: i am preparing my own livecd for that purpose so, i will build a machine and install everything "ready" [01:08] just installed latest ubuntu and the start looks great [01:08] my condolences [01:08] distro? [01:08] byte^: type hwinfo --short [01:08] !distro | owner [01:08] owner: Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) [01:08] so anyone else been following various reports of "performance issues" with Ubuntu 9.04? Thoughts? [01:08] byte^, please pastebin the following: lspci | grep -i audio [01:08] owner: distro short for distribution [01:08] no [01:09] Yeah I've done that before but okay, give me one second. [01:09] OK it looks like Privoxy is very egsotic software :/ [01:09] owner, try with live cd [01:09] doesnt even show up in drivers [01:09] EOF [01:09] skima: privoxy is very nice for anonymity [01:09] harpreet_, please tell me how business is going when you have had your first customers, I'd love to hear about it :-) [01:09] the network is enabled [01:10] matreya6: i will. [01:10] matreya6: it's only one line: 01:02.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs CA0106 Soundblaster [01:10] harpreet_: do you want me to pastebin the result? [01:10] byte^: is it old computer or laptop [01:10] byte^: yes please [01:10] It's a Dell Dimension 3000 which I consider fairly old. [01:11] But it is not a laptop. [01:11] http://pastebin.com/m4c9d953b [01:11] byte^: its old thats why, on today's motherboards, almost everything works out of the box [01:11] weird huh [01:12] wow, pulseaudio > cifs [01:12] byte^, let me lookup that audio card for you, just a sec... [01:12] Yes, well, I am building a new computer specifically to linux on, to get rid of this junk machine [01:12] Hopefully all is well when I do that. [01:12] byte^: here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=963027 [01:13] No one with that knowledge? [01:13] byte^, there are lots of Linux versions that run snappy on old systems, so you might postpone scrapping your Dell 3000 [01:13] hey is there a program out there that can record everything typed on my comp??? [01:14] I saw that post, harpreet_, but I thought it wouldn't help me since I get absolutely no sound. [01:14] darkangel, search a "keylogger" [01:14] darkangel: a keylogger? [01:14] I am trying to figure out how to change the boot screen options on a custom livecd to remove the install option, and rI want to remove the install shortcut from the desktop, anyone done this? [01:14] matreya6: Well, there are other reasons too, I just hope that a happy coincidence can happen in running Linux on it ;] [01:15] maveas: I'm not sure GRUB can see USB devices to boot from unless the BIOS can already see them [01:15] byte^, sorry? I didn't quite get your last sentence... [01:15] ozzmosis: but that the trick, grub can .. [01:15] darkangel: keylogger? [01:15] that's [01:15] are there any more??? [01:15] What I mean to say is that aside from being able to do other things I need to do, hopefully as a result of getting better hardware I am able to run Linux easier. [01:15] darkangel: what for? [01:15] darkangel: ofc :) [01:16] what you mean for what??? [01:16] Well anyways. [01:16] my os is ubuntu [01:16] darkangel: what do you want to do? [01:16] I'm going to install Windows and if my sound card doesn't work on there (although it should) then I can isolate the problem. [01:16] just record anything typed pretty much [01:16] darkangel: Linux/GNU [01:16] how can I make use of a special key on my eee? its almost as a windows-button (but it was used for the linux distro the laptop came with) [01:16] maveas: if you say so :) [01:17] where do you find synaptic in the netbook remix desktop? [01:17] system>admin [01:17] darkangel: there's lkl, but whether it works well or not is questionable [01:17] Pluxxx: you could pry it off then tie it to a piece of string... sorry... [01:17] ozzmosis: well, I'm not an expert but I did read it some where? [01:17] byte^, Well I hope your soundcard still works and you fix the playback on Linux. [01:18] just trying to catch someone on my comp is all [01:18] so anything that will remember keys entered [01:18] byte^: here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-153823.html [01:18] k [01:18] is there absolutely no way of making use of that key? [01:18] darkangel: you know, there is a ~/.bash_history in everyone's homedir [01:18] yeah??? what exactly is that. im fairly new to linux [01:18] Pluxxx: run xev from a terminal, then hit the key and see if it's registered [01:19] kk [01:19] Pluxxx: if xev sees the key, then you can use xmodmap to remap that key to whatever you like [01:19] darkangel: it records every command used i bash [01:19] darkangel: bash/shell [01:19] ah not trying to do it in there [01:19] watchin on the net [01:19] haha, for pwds? [01:19] someone just cruising my comp when im not home [01:19] I'm getting a beeping sound coming through my headphones, happens every 30s or so. running 9.04 64 - any ideas? [01:19] nah [01:19] want to see where they are going [01:20] they clear history every time n shit [01:20] Gotta leave now, hit the hay because it's 2:18 am now where I live. Thanks for the answers, especially Paddy_EIRE and Gnea. I hop my answers have contributed to this wonderful community [01:20] lovely, thx dulak [01:20] lock down your computer? [01:20] how hard can that be? [01:20] haha, she knows my pass n shit [01:20] so change it [01:20] that would be weird to her [01:20] shed be like wtf you changin it for [01:20] are you spying on her? [01:21] only for good yes [01:21] but why? [01:21] cheating peroses [01:21] the road to hell is paved with good intentions... [01:21] purposes [01:21] shared passwords are never a good idea [01:21] give her her own account [01:21] haha, i do agree with the road to hell thing [01:21] dpkg is failing for me with update-binfmts: /var/lib/binfmts/jar corrupt: out of binfmt data reading package could anyone help? [01:21] I'd advise giving her (or you, if it's her computer) a separate account [01:21] its my computer [01:21] ozzmosis, Gnea , byte^, harpreet_ , bye for now gotta sleep [01:21] ok [01:22] and im not worried about her finding anything i know how to lock and hide everything that needs not to be found [01:22] just making sure that you're clear of house politics [01:22] but her on the other hand is not as computer savvy as i am [01:22] darkangel: you could install squid, force your machine to transparent proxy through it, and it'll log every website access [01:22] matreya6: see you later, good night [01:22] Dulak: I was in the middle of typing that :) [01:22] a separate account IMNHO [01:22] is the bestw eay [01:23] how do you start the theme manager from terminal? [01:23] darkangel: it's your pass, you're free to change it if you want. if she has her own account, she doesn't need your pass. :) [01:23] very true [01:23] darkangel: btw, if she's clearing her history, obviously she doesn't trust you 100% [01:23] but im tryin to follow her somewhere so the easier the better [01:23] keep her on my name lol [01:23] harpreet_, thanks and good look with your store :-D [01:24] darkangel: why don't you just get her her own computer? ;) [01:24] harpreet_, look => luck [01:24] she has one but i cant follow her on it [01:24] why are you so paranoid then? [01:24] if she goes somewhere on here i can log and find out where she has been [01:24] b/c of things i have found already [01:24] and...what about her right to privacy? [01:24] she's smart [01:24] traces shes left on my computer [01:25] if she wants privacy she can buy her own computer, imo [01:25] my attitude is if it's my computer, you have no privacy [01:25] * eseven73 grabs some popcorn, this is getting good [01:25] I'm recusing myself from this "not quite purely technical" issue [01:25] as fascinating as this is, it's wandering terribly off-topic [01:25] thats how i feel [01:25] reboot with a new gf ? [01:25] lol [01:25] apt-get autoremove gf [01:25] LOL [01:25] lmao [01:25] darkangel: you know, you might as well just get a new place to live, it's clear your relationship is going down the tubes. :) [01:25] gets rid of all her dependencies too [01:25] Dulak, thats the way i feel [01:26] This isn't a technical issue. If you and your gf are having this discussion in the first place, then you're already borken [01:26] correct [01:26] yeah [01:26] nah thats not where this convo started [01:26] hahaha [01:26] and IMHO it's very very rude to spy on your SO [01:26] Scunizi: gnome-appearance-properties [01:26] logging her keys only makes it worse [01:26] i was looking for a program and it changed from there [01:26] #ubuntu-relationship-advice [01:26] how you look @ the blacklist? [01:26] lol [01:27] if you install windows in virtualbox, can you do everything that you can do if you install windows normally? [01:27] nicklas_: almost [01:27] #ubuntu-DrPhil [01:27] haha [01:27] :) [01:27] nicklas_: just about [01:27] nicklas_: 3d is not so good [01:27] nickles: in theory [01:27] nicklas_: not 3D stuff [01:27] im not looking for advice im looking for a program [01:27] nicklas_: forget all about gaming [01:27] oh ok [01:27] /whois nicklas_ [01:27] so i probably wont be able to run sims 3? [01:27] owner: gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [01:27] darkangel: I find it a bit disturbing you feel a need to snoop in the first place :/ [01:27] dpkg is failing for me printing "update-binfmts: /var/lib/binfmts/jar corrupt: out of binfmt data reading package". could anyone help? [01:27] nicklas_: unlikely [01:27] darkangel: I don't recommend keystroke logging, that's illegal in a lot of places, but transparent proxying is legit, it's just a fringe benefit that it logs every page visited [01:27] darkangel: lkl :) it's not in ubuntu, but you can google it [01:27] nicklas_: probably more luck with wine on that one [01:28] Dulak: he wants to keylog his gf [01:28] Gnea: I know, and I just told him not to, but he can monitor the websites his computer accesses [01:28] RCS conflict [01:28] Relationship Control System [01:28] heh [01:28] Dulak: he's going to continue searching for it until he finds it, clearly. [01:29] dont think sims run in linux at all? [01:29] keylogging on my own computer is not illegal, if someone is on MY computer i have the right to know what they are typing on MY system [01:29] damn that dont do nothing [01:29] darkangel, exactly [01:29] for my problem [01:29] darkangel: bit of a grey area actually [01:30] irc.abjects.com [01:30] you also have a right to the consequences of a trashed relationship that's going to result from your nosiness [01:30] darkangel: I highly recommend you ask a lawyer, because you are wrong. It's the same thing as tapping your own phone, in a lot of places it's illegal [01:30] haha [01:30] drive-by advertising [01:30] darkangel: I know what I"m talking about, we had to go through this at my company a couple years ago to catch someone divulging inside info [01:30] darkangel: Dulak's got a good point [01:30] suppose your gf is accessing information protected by HIPAA or something? [01:30] Dulak: yeah but he's at home - it'd be more of a civil matter, not a corporate matter [01:31] shes not acessing anything protected [01:31] Hey [01:31] Gnea: illegal is still illegal [01:31] he [01:31] damn, just ask her straight up [01:31] Can someone tell me which packages to install to get Java running on Firefox? [01:31] dont be a wimp about it [01:31] yeah im over the advice column i was just looking for a program [01:31] haha [01:31] Dulak: nope, corporate rules do not apply to the civil world. there is a line, especially when it's a private computer, not a work computer. [01:31] darkangel: google it then? [01:31] kids.. [01:31] What's a good tool to turn source tarballs (configure/make/make install style) into .deb packages for ubuntu? [01:32] Artelus: apt-get install sun-java6-plugin for Firefox [01:32] dpkg-deb [01:32] Tnx Rabbit! [01:32] legally you're probably ok, but it's one of those "you have every right to make a turd of yourself" [01:32] at any rate, if you're looking for a technical solution, perhaps a script with netcat and tee to a file might hlelp [01:32] Gnea: I won't argue it, I consulted my lawyer, you are not correct. [01:33] ozzmosis: I already have that installed [01:33] but be advised of any legal ramifications, IANAL, YMMV, do at your own risk, etc. [01:33] pipe it through a logger [01:33] Dulak: it also depends on the location - different areas have different laws on it. [01:33] ozzmosis: but when I try to run something on firefox, it just shows up as a blank white screen [01:33] has anyone played with Kernel Mode Switching? [01:33] Artelus: go to about:plugins .. is the java plugin listed? [01:34] Dulak: unless your lawyer is throwing the DMCA around. [01:34] lmao [01:34] nice nick [01:34] which, btw, has been known to fail sometimes. [01:35] ozzmosis: I have alot of plugins that say "application/x-java-applet" and it says "IcedTea" next to it [01:35] do not run icedtea .p [01:35] alot is sure misspelled a lot. [01:35] alright well im out to work [01:35] ozzmosis: I also have application/x-java with Java as the description [01:35] have a good one [01:35] sun thingie is much better xd [01:35] Gnea: I did say that, in some places it's illegal. [01:35] and they're all enabled [01:35] DA: I would think you're reaching into a hornet's nest, both legally as well as what could happen to trust levels. [01:36] Dulak: what about Hawaii? [01:36] So i think that means that I have java on firefox [01:36] darkangel: we're sending a log of this conversation to your gf [01:36] Gnea: no idea, my situation was in Arizona [01:36] I advise against it [01:36] haha [01:36] Dulak: nice [01:36] spydon :( [01:36] er, :) [01:36] you can send whatever logs you want [01:36] Dulak: yeah, it's AZ, everything's under a corporate hood there - not true everywhere else [01:36] * shentino puts the log into darknet [01:37] shentino, what? :) [01:37] actually this channel is publicly logged [01:37] !log [01:37] Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [01:37] ozzmosis: Yes, I have the java plugin listed. [01:37] ozzmosis: Java works on Kazehakase and opera appearantly. [01:37] spydon: Your nick happened to coincide with a humorous discussion we just had about someone using keyloggers to spy on a SO [01:37] I'm freakin drunk and you are writing my nick :) [01:37] hehe ok :P [01:37] Artelus: the above apt-get "just worked" for me. I can't help you any more :) [01:37] what is a SO? :P [01:38] significant other [01:38] spydon: significant other [01:38] bf/gf [01:38] hahaha [01:38] spydon: Significant Other [01:38] I gave him a good alternative but he was passive-aggressive and probably a stalker type so it wasn't good enough [01:38] I like to take over their webcams, much more fun ^^ [01:38] lol [01:38] Artelus, tried to remove all icedtea stuff? [01:38] okay id better part from this channel before I get banned [01:38] I gave him the same answer, twice, and he just sat there and bitched [01:38] alcohol and irc is not a good combination :P [01:38] Pluxxx: How? [01:39] spydon: good idea :) [01:39] dont know :P [01:39] some packet manager [01:39] + [01:39] ?' [01:39] package* [01:39] anyone here a developer? [01:39] shentino: a bit [01:39] just curious [01:40] It's developer day off [01:40] heh [01:40] languid curiosity about how bugs get fixed [01:40] magic [01:40] one part magic and one part luck combined with two parts of vodka [01:40] shentino: that's not something there is a standard answer to, every dev handles bugs differently [01:41] mostly with alcohol. [01:41] shentino: some projects have a policy, some don't, etc [01:42] I'm guessing devs are generally happier if you manage to come up with a patch [01:42] Gnea: you in hawaii? [01:42] shentino: it all starts with http://launchpad.net [01:42] Dulak: no. [01:42] shentino: yeah if you have a patch they will take you more seriously [01:42] bugs are much harder to fix if they can't be reproduced [01:42] I went way past that [01:43] ozz: Actually I was wondering if you had the spare time to confirm one independently [01:43] shentino: If you're interested, I'd recommend watching the developer intro vidoes on ubuntudevelopers youtube channel: http://www.mibbit.com/url/jjDALW [01:43] with what? [01:43] midnight commander's subshell screen choking on /dev/vcsa perms [01:43] !uds [01:43] The Ubuntu Developer Summit is being held May 25th-29th in Barcelona, Spain. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UDS for more information. [01:44] shentino: I've used MC. you lost me after that. [01:44] shentino: I second the youtube channel [01:44] watching now [01:45] ozz: Well normally when you start mc, you can hit C-o to flip flop [01:45] between MC and the subshell [01:45] shentino: ah, yep [01:45] my bug was that cons.saver was choking on bad perms on /dev/vcsa* [01:46] and the supposedly saveable screen info wasn't properly burped out by the kernel [01:46] hence, massive blankouts [01:47] my tenuous fix was to make cons.saver sgid tty [01:48] and...I killed the cahnnel [01:48] heh [01:48] I think I understand === Mau_Restor is now known as mau_restorium [01:49] I think I first noticed it back in hardy IIRC === mau_restorium is now known as mau_restor [01:49] any way i can figure out why my irssi suddenly keeps disconnecting from the server from time to time? [01:49] eso: probably a network fault [01:49] eso: ditto on ozz [01:49] any error messageS? [01:50] eso: freenode has lots of servers. try a different one. [01:50] eso: you could install a program to watch the network devices to detect if there's any loss of network connectivity [01:50] ozzmosis: it's on efnet [01:50] but it only happens on this computer [01:50] have got severel other clients on the same server [01:50] efnet has always been quirky [01:50] eso: ah. dodgy network card / cable ? [01:50] they don't disconnect [01:50] ozz: Would you care to see the link to the bug report? [01:50] ozzmosis: could be? started happening after my gf tripped in the network cable :P [01:51] but the net works 100% otherwise [01:51] eso: gfs are nothing but trouble. [01:51] eso: you might want to try taping it down to the floor :) [01:51] :P [01:51] hehe [01:51] yeah :P [01:51] shentino: I think I'd have to be at the console to test that. [01:51] got a baby crawling around the floor here now as well :P [01:51] but [01:51] dude [01:51] if the net works fine otherwise, could that be the problem? [01:52] eso: IRC keeps a TCP connection open. other stuff tends not to. [01:52] aha [01:52] hm [01:52] eso try another client? [01:52] RHorse: i tried with pidgin :P [01:52] When i had toddlers running around i broke the clips off my ethernet ends so the cables would pull clean out without a laptop meeting the concrete. [01:52] hm.. didn't get to see how that worked out [01:52] eso: http://cableorganizer.com/cord-cover-duraline/ [01:52] yeah [01:52] could really use one of those :P [01:52] eso same thing w/ Pidgin? [01:52] or i could go up the wall [01:52] Rabbitbunny: whoever designed ethernet plugs needs to be punished. [01:52] RHorse: didn't get to see [01:52] eso: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:53] ... [01:53] ozzmosis: punished forever. [01:53] i could try again, but it's so random [01:53] can stay on for hours [01:53] then suddenly [01:54] Rabbitbunny: then punished some more. [01:54] Rabbitbunny: I'm a firm believer of keeping all wires out of the reach of children, drunkards, furniture and appliances. :) [01:54] Hey everyone, I got a question. I'm going to college 100% online, one of the main functions is using Adobe Connect to view saved live chats. But whe I load from this laptop it doesn't load anything. How do I make this work? [01:54] eso, you're in Norway? [01:54] yeah [01:54] oh well [01:55] i tried to adjust the cable [01:55] let's see how that works out :P [01:55] eso could be aurora borealis ;0 [01:55] Zephryos: I've not heard of Adobe Connect. maybe it uses Flash. [01:56] hehehe [01:56] Gnea: what kind of program? [01:57] Zephryos: Wikipedia says it does [01:58] ozzmosis: From what I can tell Flash is running fine.. I can use Youtube, with minimal "etching" of audio/video because of process power [01:58] Zephryos: ah. don't know then, sorry. [01:58] Chess Training Tools ....how do i install and have it in my games folder thingy? [01:58] ozzmosis: Or maybe I didnt instal it right.. there any particular "right way"? [01:59] Zephryos: if YouTube's working, that's a pretty sure sign. [01:59] hi everybody [02:00] hi [02:00] hi alexis [02:00] * eso sighs [02:00] stuff like this bother the hell out of me :\ [02:00] Zephryos: apt-get install adobe-flashplugin is the usual way [02:01] do i need to download japanese open office to type in japanese? [02:01] grkgeek, have you tried SCIM? [02:01] no, you need an input control method. SCIM i think. [02:01] eso: arpwatch, arpalert [02:02] * Rabbitbunny is always beat to the punch. [02:02] anybody running Jaunty here? [02:02] any of you got a problem with flash applications just disappearing? [02:02] chichihchen: most of us [02:02] havent tried that yet will get on it now [02:03] !anyone | chichihchen [02:03] chichihchen: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [02:03] i was wondering by installing python-2.5 from synaptic, would it break python-2.6 that comes with Jaunty? [02:03] !info arpwatch [02:03] arpwatch (source: arpwatch): Ethernet/FDDI station activity monitor. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.1a13-2.1 (jaunty), package size 122 kB, installed size 464 kB [02:03] ubottu, sorry, 1st time here [02:03] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:04] chichihchen: it shouldn't break anything, the alternatives system will only allow one version to be primary at a time [02:04] is there a key-shortcut for launching Synaptic? [02:04] livingdaylight: not by default [02:04] could anyone tell me how to download...Chess Training Tools ...and make it in my menu? [02:04] livingdaylight make one [02:05] Gnea: would be handy [02:05] RHorse: o.0 [02:05] !shortcut | livingdaylight [02:05] livingdaylight: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [02:06] arpwatch: lookup_device: no suitable device found [02:06] could someone help me with my wireless ? [02:06] is there any WYSIWYG html editor (like dreamweaver) for linux? [02:06] RHorse, how was that helpful? :/ [02:06] hi [02:06] thx | Gnea [02:06] anyone here using rxvt? :D [02:06] eso: it's run via /etc/init.d/arpwatch [02:06] can someone provide help with ubuntu on the imac g5? [02:06] eso: you have to edit /etc/arpwatch.conf [02:06] RxDx: check kompozer [02:06] eseven73 give me a sec === thefake is now known as Lord-FaKe [02:06] th0r, actually I use Gnome [02:07] !scim > grkgeek [02:07] grkgeek, please see my private message [02:07] Gnea: Got the solution to the audio issue [02:07] Thanks, Dulak for replying. I am trying to try virtualbox 2.2.2 but it requres python 2.5. Januty comes with Python 2.6. Just not sure if I use synaptic to install python-2.5, would it modify the default python settings for Jaunty. [02:07] RxDx: kompozer will run under gnome [02:07] notlistening: awesome, what was it? [02:07] I can't get the bluetooth apple keyboard to connect [02:07] can anyone help? [02:07] Gnea: don [02:07] done [02:07] RxDx: I am using it in xfce [02:07] how do i start it? :P [02:07] eseven73 i dunno [02:07] th0r, Kompozer isnt made with QT? [02:07] Latest ATI driver sorted the issue [02:07] eso: like any script in that directory: sudo /etc/init.d/arpwatch start [02:07] :) [02:07] anyone? lolz [02:07] !anyone [02:07] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [02:08] RxDx: yeah, but so what? It only requires a qt lib to run, not kde [02:08] chichihchen: it shouldn't hurt at all, you might have to update-alternatives after but iirc it won't cause any problems === Demonicdata is now known as Seti-high [02:08] chichihchen: I don't see a python 2.5 dep in the virtualbox-ose package in universe (it uses python 2.6)? How are you trying to install virtualbox? [02:08] Gnea: and how do look for.. errors? :P [02:08] Dulak, okay, thanks. I am going to try that. [02:08] how do I connect my bluetooth apple keyboard to jaunty running on an imac g5 [02:08] ? [02:09] Mzz, not the ose version, there's a .deb version at www.virtualbox.org [02:09] eso: tail -f /var/log/syslog (i like to install the ccze package and run it like this: tail -f /var/log/syslog | ccze -A & ) [02:09] Gnea: there are some real issues with the Driver 9.05 uses by default at the momment for the ATI HD cards [02:09] Gnea: 9.04 * [02:09] or would you recommend switching to debian, seeing as there exists an official ppc version? [02:09] Hi, is there a way to kill multiple pids at the same time? [02:09] notlistening: so is there a workaround or did you have to go back a version? [02:09] brEz yes [02:09] I have a script that loads 5 confs, and I have to kill each one manually ;} [02:10] RHorse, my man... how ;)? [02:10] Gnea: no good for Synaptic... launches without asking for password, thus rendering it unexecutable [02:10] brEz just sudo kill -9 pid1 pid2... [02:10] hello everyone :). i got a blank screen after the "live cd" or "install" options off the desktop live CD (even with safe graphics mode enabled) so i installed ubuntu via the text based installer off the alternate CD. at this point, i am able to select ubuntu (9.04) through grub but still get a blank screen.. any tips? windows is telling me my display adapter is "intel g33/g31". sorry for the long explaination :P, and yes, i [02:10] livingdaylight: try it like this: gksudo synaptic [02:10] so basically, I still have totype out each pid# [02:11] :( [02:11] my system monitor tells me i have 753 MB of swap but i dont have swap partition can any one help [02:11] livingdaylight, try gksudo synaptic [02:11] chichihchen: again the .deb for jaunty I see there has a python 2.6 dep [02:11] ah, someone already said [02:11] :) [02:11] Gnea: Had to download the lastest version on my driver from ATI and install them manually, oh and [ulse audio has never worked for me out of the box so I created a forum page about that one [02:11] brEz of course [02:11] Gnea | EdgEy - thx [02:11] ;p [02:11] notlistening: url? [02:11] mzz: let me double check, I am running the amd64 version [02:11] livingdaylight: cheers [02:11] * mzz checks that one too [02:12] How can I connect my apple wireless keyboard to jaunty on an imac g5? [02:12] wireless device is not present when i lspci [02:12] sbomer: did you get jaunty to install? [02:12] yes [02:12] ok how do i install a zip file....and make the program in my menu? [02:12] Gnea: works! now i can add the shortcut to my easystroke gestures [02:12] sbomer: should be able to just plug it in [02:13] chichihchen: you're right, that one does dep on python2.5. Shouldn't hurt, but that's weird. [02:13] sbomer: not sure tho, not an imac user [02:13] owner try disabling ethernet [02:13] owner: wireless adapter? [02:13] GneaL http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1009407 [02:13] sbomer: but most of things like that are rather automatic in ubuntu [02:13] athros [02:13] well [02:13] Gnea: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1009407 [02:13] owner: macbook pro?

Still weird. [02:13] how you dissable etho? [02:13] I got the mouse to work but I still have had no success with the keyboard. [02:13] owner in bios [02:13] owner: is it a macbook pro? [02:14] compaq cq50 [02:14] enabled in bios [02:14] mzz: i thought 2.6 should be compatible with 2.5 but apparently virtualbox won't install with python-2.5 [02:14] can noone help? [02:14] well thanks though [02:14] wireless works fine when i boot to windows [02:14] notlistening: December 12th, 2008 [02:14] owner: 1 sec, I had a similar issue the other day [02:14] great...

I'm assuming that .deb has python extensions that were compiled against 2.5 instead of 2.6 for some reason. [02:14] here as well [02:15] owner: have the forum thread marked on my laptop 1 sec [02:15] wireless worked fine out the box [02:15] Gnea: What about it? [02:15] this morning when i turned on the lappy my wireless didnt exist [02:16] my system monitor tells me i have 753 MB of swap but i dont have swap partition can any one help [02:16] mzz: i believe so. I just installed python-2.5 through synaptic. it looks fine. but the default python still points to 2.6 [02:16] but i didn't disconnect from efnet [02:16] chichihchen: that's correct [02:16] ill wait :) [02:16] amr: cat /proc/swaps [02:16] notlistening: just find it odd that they totally missed it [02:16] why is it a high price to pay? [02:16] Anyone free to troubleshoot poor OpenGL performance with 9.04's stock Fglrx driver? [02:16] RHorse? [02:16] Gnea: Still relevant now :P progress for you :D [02:16] mzz: cool~ does that mean I can install python-2.4 as well safely?

[02:17] amr: /dev/ramzswap0 doesn't ring a bell. Sec. [02:18] mzz: ^_^ just curious if they are all packaged like that. used to run fedora's rpm but it messed up the python installation [02:18] notlistening: would probably be a good idea ;) [02:18] eso_: ? [02:18] I have an HD4850 vrunning with FGLRX on a fresh install of Jaunty Jackalope server. 2D is fine, but I get a GLX gears score of 8500 and games play really poorly considering the card. It's hard to even play Second Life. It's doing direct rendering, I checked [02:18] i disconnected, here as well [02:19] nothing to see in the syslog [02:19] oh [02:19] <-- 1st ubuntu user. ;-) [02:19] eso_: try arpalert too [02:19] amr: that's a weird trick. Apparently that compresses the pages and stores them in ram. [02:19] i meant 1st time [02:19] eso_: did you try triggering it on purpose? [02:19] mzz, but i didnot [02:19] what do you mean? [02:20] amr: I guess to turn it off you can just comment the relevant line in /etc/fstab. There may even be a gui to do that, but I don't know where, sorry. [02:20] * animenewb will give a cookie to whoever has idea of what went wrong (see above).

[02:20] mzz, thank you] [02:20] animenewb: can you get it started in text mode or do you have some other way to get at a terminal (ssh?) [02:21] mzz: if you mean hitting alt+ctrl+f1 to get a text terminal, yeah. i can do that [02:21] animenewb: also, do you get a graphical progress bar before it blacks out or does it go black immediately after grub? [02:21] animenewb: ah, great. Pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log please [02:21] mzz: i get the progress bar, but then it goes blank after that.

Wonder if it's misdetecting outputs somehow. Will need /var/log/Xorg.0.log, I'm afraid. [02:27] mzz: yeah, i just read that. :D ty for your help. will be back soon [02:28] Hello? [02:28] Guest96780, you should be able to start it by typing quasselclient into a terminal [02:28] nightdrever: hmm, was hoping there'd be a saner package for ubuntu out there, but I can't find one offhand. I'd just unzip it in the homedir and put a launcher on the panel. [02:29] mzz: that is a source package, there is no program in it [02:29] th0r: there's a .jar in it [02:29] th0r: I'm assumed I could run that .jar if I had enough java installed (I haven't tried) [02:29] quasselclient, but i guess it should be in the menu somewhere too... (btw I have no idea what it is... I just used apt-file to dinf execuatables in that package) [02:29] hello guys , i need some help installing this http://wine-review.blogspot.com/2009/02/msn-messenger-2008-and-2009-on-linux.html , i dont understand " [02:29] MSN Messenger install in Wine" paragraph [02:29] cheers mzz its just im so so new to this....dunno how todo things well [02:29] assuming, even [02:30] Guest96780, but i guess it should be in the menu somewhere too... (btw I have no idea what it is... I just used apt-file to find execuatables in that package) [02:30] nightdrever: it's usually much, much easier if you can stick to software packaged for ubuntu (either in one of the default repos or at least in a ppa) so you can manage everything through synaptic (or your favorite other apt frontend) [02:30] nightdrever: things like softpedia are definitely not my first stop for finding software for a linux system [02:30] yeah but i really want this software and im no good with linux YET [02:32] anyone able to get bbdock compiled using openbox and ubuntu 8.10?

[02:51] Its_a_lemon_PM: what's the file name of the flash you were trying to download? .gz or? [02:51] which has been rumored to trash data if your system crashes at an inopportune moment [02:51] chichihchen: there is no flash extention yet [02:52] "best" is very subjective. I've always used VMWare w/o any issues. I currently use it on Linux to run Linux\Windows7\XP [02:52] LinuxGold: there is no one-size-fits-all, but vmware and virtualbox have their merits.. you'll have to look at them and decide for yourself [02:52] altf20, I want to be able to run vmware using services [02:52] Its_a_lemon_PM: not flash extension but the extension of the flash file that you were downloading. such as .gz or .tar or .zip [02:52] VirtualBox -- afaik -- can't automatically run when machine is started? [02:53] Hey, I need help in installing anyone mind helping? [02:53] prappl93, I did some research and you should do port forwarding.... and then your xbox will be happy...

[02:53] hey guys [02:53] Installing programs* [02:53] chichihchen: got it! Thanks! [02:53] i'm *pretty* sure VMWare does that, you'd have to consult their site. Surely it wouldn't be to hard to add any program to Windows startup. [02:53] gnea, startup folder works if someone logs in [02:53] ;) [02:53] Its_a_lemon_PM: you welcome~ [02:53] mib_2tf107hl: which programs? [02:53] ;) [02:53] LinuxGold: you should ask in #windows then... could be a service ;) [02:53] :D [02:53] VMWare does -- but not freeware.

How do I do this with Wubi? [03:54] bot,are you here? [03:54] you know what i dislike about the ubuntu 9.04 disk? i installed it on my friends computer. a 250GB hard drive with XP taking up 30GB. The installer sets up Ubuntu with a 3GB partition, not asking me what sizes i want. Why would it pick something so small? It can't even do updates for lack of disk space. [03:54] 中文 [03:54] how can i make sure the numlock key is on when ubuntu starts? [03:54] RHorse: '~$ sudo iwconfig essid [essid] key 1234567890 mode managed' requests my password and then accepts. A subsequent '~$ sudo dhclient eth1' responds: "send_packet: Network is down; No DHCPOFFERS received. No working leases in persistent database - sleeping." Small wonder as the LEDs on my wireless card are not blinking. [03:55] amseidler: with a wubi installation, I think its tough. similar to sitting on a tree-branch and cutting the trunk. [03:55] NoiseEee: use the partitioning tool before installing, or use the text mode installer. [03:55] is there anything like dreamweaver on ubuntu? [03:55] ravelon: yes, add/remove, Kompozer [03:55] rangzy: are you able to help me with it? [03:55] how can i view the NFS shares on kubuntu [03:55] mneptok: sure, i know i could have probably taken those extra steps. it seems to me the installer should take some liberty with 220GB of unused disk space [03:55] amseidler, thanx, is it good? [03:55] !nvu | ravelon [03:55] ravelon: kompozer is a WYSIWYG HTML editor for easily creating web pages, and the continuation of the dead Nvu project. It is available in !Universe on !Gutsy and later releases. [03:55] NoiseEee: and then we'd have people complaining "Ubuntu ate ALL my free space!" [03:56] ravelon: It's okay, but I prefer DW more [03:56] same as network on windows [03:56] ravelon: Just use a Virtual Machine [03:56] ravelon: if you want it so bad [03:56] amseidler : I dont understand your Qn.. [03:56] how can i view nfs shares on ubutu [03:56] mneptok: i suppose. but here i am praising ubuntu to him, and it can't even do the security updates. [03:56] pls help me [03:56] let alone let him check out how amarok etc. handle media files [03:56] ! nfs [03:56] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [03:56] bullgard4 that is the correct procedure.

I am not very sure. someone else pl clarify [03:58] amseidler, what do you mean by "don't use virtual machine"? where? with what? [03:58] ravelon: I am not redoing my entire ubuntu installation [03:59] ravelon: I was not talking to you when I was discussing the virtual machine [03:59] Strange i installed moblocker but after i rebooted it doesn't load up.infact i can't find it anywhere listed [03:59] ravelon: There has got to be an easier way. [03:59] amseidler: was that to me ? [04:00] ravelon: If your name is in front of it, then it's probably to you. [04:00] RHorse: No, you are mistaken.

[04:00] rangzy: So there isn't a way to delete windows with Wubi? [04:01] is there any cpu cooler available for ubuntu ? [04:01] RHorse: Yes, this is correct what I said. [04:01] my cpu heats up to 80-90 degree centigrade sometimes :( [04:01] cypher1: what do you mean by cpu? [04:01] can someone help me make sense of my soundcard, its onboard intel 845G and I can't make heads or tails of how to make it work properly [04:01] amseidler: I'm sorry, I am not sure. this is a v.sensitive task. I havent done it so far. my main convern is with the mbr / bootloader.

[04:20] geirha: great thanks, this seems to work too not sure what diff behavior is: ls `echo $PATH | sed 's/:/ /g'` | grep 'something' [04:21] rangzy: just 'echo /bin/*' will get a list also. :) of that dir [04:21] i got a new power supply, and when i flip the power switch on the back to '1' and try to turn on my computer, it lights up for about a second before shutting off. is it dead?

[04:22] It used to mount fine until I made some changes from the Gnome GUI and now i cannot mount it. [04:22] Here is what I did... I went to drive properties and changed the mount point to /media/mydrive and changed the file type to FAT32. This is where i think I may have made the mistake FAT32 instead of fat32 [04:22] now i get the error cannot get volume.fstype.alternative [04:22] neelotpal: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:22] Dr_Willis: wow i didnt know about that... :) [04:22] rangzy: yea thanks [04:22] stbtra: you're welcome [04:22] FloodBot1 thanks I will do as you said [04:22] neelotpal: You shouldn't repeat so often. Also, please condense that into one line, it will fit, and it'll make it a lot easier to read.

[04:25] Dr_Willis: stbtra wants to do a grep. wouldnt it be better to do a ls -l ? (one file per line) [04:25] I am unable to mount drive since I changed mount point and file system from nautilus. How do I revert?? [04:25] the symptoms are : under mac, the partition is unknow and i cant format it, under windows its reconized but not formatted and i cant format it [04:25] ophthalmaximandi: It is. You can grab the source for everything, but why would you want to? [04:25] Dr_Willis: Yeah I was wondering how can i patch some core gnu command like echo? where should i submit my patch??

I did some a wrong command in diskpart (Window 7 Command) and lost all partitions. I have tried to recoveried its with GNU parted but when I used the command "rescue START END" it said that "Error: /dev/sdc: unrecognised disk label". Anyone can help me to recover the xfs partition, because there are amny DATA there. [04:26] Fudge: don't scream please [04:26] so can u point me towards the documentation [04:26] g0wda: there are deb source packages you can get.. i forget how.

[04:27] Dr_Willis: ok... i know how to get those i guess,,, u need to enable those repos in software sources... [04:28] where is the source? it there any svn/git/what-have-you repos for the source? [04:28] !source [04:28] You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [04:28] geirha: it does ? i tried even yesterday, tab didnt work after man !

[04:28] rangzy: It is bash and not gnome-terminal that handles the tab-completion btw. [04:28] Is it possible to recover the xfs partition which I have clean the partition table in diskpart ? [04:28] geirha: oh I see. [04:29] ophthalmaximandi: the gnu project (father of all deb based stuff) hosts its code in CVS (dumb!) :) [04:29] how do you find out what filesystem is on a drive from the command line? [04:29] tab works for man bash completion here it seems.. well some what. :) [04:29] jmburgess: try the mount cmd. [04:29] man l [04:29] Display all 134 possibilities? (y or n) [04:29] i did a tab after the l like --> l [04:29] Dr_Willis: is that after typing "man" ? [04:30] is it possible that a linksys wireless adapter of the same model work on a ubuntu machine and won't work on another 8.10 ubuntu machine? [04:30] man --> Display all 3476 possibilities?

[04:33] rangzy: the configuration for bash's tab-completion is in /etc/bash_completion and /etc/bash_completion.d/* [04:33] ubuntu has some of the best 'bash completion' settings of any disrto. :) [04:34] Dr_Willis: yes I understand the space issue! and, nice to know this thing works. I wanted this feature back in 2004. and then almost forgot about it. it didnt work for me in 8.10 yest. [04:34] g0wda: I use the rescue START END command [04:34] geirha: thanks for that detail. I shall look into my settings [04:34] you sure sdc is the device concerned? not sda or something?? [04:34] night alll...

[04:36] bmh1: you sure sdc is the device concerned? not sda or something?? [04:36] you would think an old webcam like the quickcam express would have a lot more support since its been around for close to a decade [04:36] HELP!!! my network connection on my desktop just died for reasons I dont know .... I says it connects but it wont even ping the localhost ... I uninstalled tor and privoxy thinink that might be the cause ... can someone help me out here [04:37] g0wda: Yes, I am sure 100%, because this device is my mobile HDD box. I installed Ubuntu on it and boot as the usb HDD. [04:37] hi, what is the status of the eclipse 3.4 package? is nearly complete? what can i do to help? [04:37] donavan: pl try ifconfig ethN up [04:37] then what device is sda? [04:38] The window 7 OS 60GB [04:38] the one you boot ubuntu from should be sda rite? [04:38] donavan: I've no idea about the tor / privoxy, though. [04:38] What the command I can show you my disk in the computer? [04:38] do ls /dev/sd* [04:39] 'ls /dev/sd*' [04:39] rangzy ... tor and privoxy are gone now I removed them (was trying to install them) but it looks like eth0 is up but nothing is going across the line [04:39] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ls /dev/sd* [04:39] /dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda5 /dev/sdb /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc [04:39] hello people [04:39] anyone have whole disk encryption? [04:39] it is sdc i guess.... [04:40] donavan: oops! try eth0 down and then up. I agree its a dumb suggestion, but it has worked for me a few times. [04:40] I am thinking about going to full disk encryption and have experience with trucrypt on windows,but i was wondering if there is a better program for linux? [04:40] hi... im installing ubuntu/linux for the first time... i have 1 physical drive with a 35gig~ partition. ubuntu wants me to set a mount point.. what should i choose? why? [04:40] g0wda: the sdc is the disk which i did mistake in diskpart win window7 and it clean all partition in sdc [04:41] Where can I find a complete list of "int 80h" calls? [04:41] IncogNegro mnt point is / [04:41] g0wda: do you have any idea to recover the xfs partition in sdc. I need only my data [04:41] I'm sorry i cant help any further :) i'm a newbie too , try asking it on launchpad or keep asking here until someone knows exactly what to do,,, [04:41] hmmm [04:41] RHorse, i was reading that you should create different partitions for different things like home and tmp files... should i do this? [04:42] or just set the mount point to / and go from there? [04:42] * slipttees listen AC/DC - highwayto hell.ogg [04:42] there are many recovery tools don't worry.... they are really smart... just don't zerofill your disk that's all! lol [04:42] IncogNegro for a beginner choose / :) [04:42] Hmm, anyone can help me to recover my xfs parition which i clean it [04:42] IncogNegro: separate partitions arent needed if yours is not a server [04:42] that was for bmh1.. [04:42] IncogNegro: yup thats what i choose when i dual boot [04:42] thats good info rangzy [04:43] why would you choose / instead of /whatever? [04:43] for a dualboot, thiebaude? [04:43] rangzy: no good ... still can't ping anything .... ping just looks at me like im stupid ... I tried a reboot a couple of times and still nothing [04:43] 'lshw -C network' says: "*-network DISABLED; description : Wireless interface. product: ISL3890." What is the proper command line command to ENABLE (bring up) this interface? [04:43] IncogNegro: /=hard drive [04:43] i understand that.. what i mean is why is it better than /whatever, /whereever, /etc? [04:43] Seti-Amon: some info on trucrypt for linux. I havent tried any crypt yet http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/networking/?p=101 [04:43] in a dual boot (which is what im doing)? [04:44] rangzy: it reminds me of the TCP/IP stack going to crap on a windows machine [04:45] donavan: reminds me too of the same :( [04:45] IncogNegro: are you going to be using ext3 or ext4? [04:45] 3 [04:45] ok [04:45] i hear 4 cant be read by windows/a [04:45] ? [04:45] rangzy: ideas? [04:45] donavan: sorry, I've no idea to help you . [04:46] IncogNegro: i just finished my dual boot about 30 min ago === mitch is now known as Guest88292 [04:46] rangzy ... its all good thanks anywyas [04:46] donavan: you're welcome [04:46] did you put ubuntu on the same partition as windows? [04:46] that is, can you? [04:46] IncogNegro: no way [04:46] Please help me on this : http://pastebin.com/m73a897d5 [04:46] to all: How can i recover my xfs disk using live usb disk? [04:46] gotcha [04:46] seperate partions [04:46] was it on the same disk? [04:46] yes it is [04:46] xp and ubuntu 9.04 [04:47] x-chat [04:47] 60gb for each [04:47] assuming i chose some "sub" root directory, how would that impact my ubuntu usage? [04:47] sub like /home, etc? [04:47] /tmp, etc.. [04:47] guess I will try this again ... anyone know why my network connect just died on my desktop ... seems like he TCP/ [04:47] IncogNegro: im not sure i dont use that [04:47] sorry... tcp/ just died for no reason [04:48] IncogNegro: you using live cd? [04:48] okay. good night all. bye! [04:48] i havent grasped the difference betwen live and uh the alternative cd [04:48] nite rangzy [04:49] can you elaborate? [04:49] i got and burned the iso from the site [04:49] IncogNegro: yea, i only use live cd's [04:49] oh ,ok [04:49] whats the difference? [04:49] and how do you direct an IRC response to someone? [04:50] IncogNegro, just say the name of whom you want to direct the message to === Seti-Amon is now known as DemonicData [04:50] gotcha [04:51] so whats the difference between a live cd and that alternative cd? [04:51] IncogNegro: im not sure what the diff is [04:51] since i never used the alternate cd before, IncogNegro [04:51] IncogNegro, in the live cd, you actually enter into a "instalation", you enter to the OS, which is installed in the CD, in the alternate, you just enter into a text-based install [04:52] IncogNegro, in the live cd, you can test the os, whitout even installing it [04:52] samd: for lower memory systems, alternate cd? [04:52] ah, then i have the live [04:52] Incognegro: the alternate lets you do more specialized installs it more for older machines or ones that have hardware issues [04:52] thiebaude, yea, because the live cd needs lots of ram to run [04:52] samd: exactly [04:52] 256mb [04:53] okay, looks like i have my marching orders (until something else comes up that i dont understand!!) [04:54] okay, im back! [04:54] ugh [04:54] thiebaude IncogNegro, also, in the alternate install cd as donovan sayd, you have more specialized choices, you have the choice to instasll a command-line system, and/or format with ext4 [04:55] samd: yup i did that ext4 install from the live cd, its easy [04:55] mount / and then format [04:55] can someone help me determine how to fix a driver compile failure? [04:55] i selected an entire partition for my install, and it started crying thati need swap space. i will unpartition the ext3 drive, and break it intwo two partitions. how then do i tell ubuntu to use the smaller of these two partitions as the swap? [04:55] thiebaude, yeah, agree ext4 its awesome [04:55] thiebaude: how is it? does ext4 work good? [04:55] IncogNegro: live cd will adjust swap atomatically based on your ram [04:55] auto [04:55] ext4 is awesome, noticeable speed increases over 3 [04:56] P4R41 yeah [04:56] any of you guys have a solid state drive? [04:56] esp on an older system, where speed issues are much more noticeable [04:56] samd: ? [04:56] whatvn: no problems at all, booting is faster than 8.10 and uses slighty lower system resources than 8.10 [04:56] hey. im having problems with... when i minimize things, they dont come back when i click on the task bar. they seem to be stuck down there. its not a compiz or emerald problem, i disabled both of them. but no avail. any sugestions ? [04:57] during installation, how do you specifically specify a swap partition? [04:57] thiebaude: I ask for ext4, not for Ubuntu 9.04 [04:57] from the live cd [04:57] IncogNegro, from the live CD, just select "guided partitioning" and the swap will be fixed automaticly [04:57] Ok does anyone know what is going on ... my eth0 connection died ... tried removing tor and privoxy just to see if that was the issue ... no good ... so I plugged in my usb wifi card ... still no good (rebooted a bunch) ... I get a connection icon and all that... ifconfig seems to be fine but I can ping anything but if I ping google.com it comes up with the IP address but no packets go... [04:57] whatvn: yea thats the effects of ext4 on ubuntu 9.04 [04:57] ...anywhere.... does anyone have any idea? [04:57] IncogNegro: if you want much more control over the install, use the alternative cd, not the desktop version if that's what you're using [04:58] hey, if you think that SSD drives are awesome, look into the IOdrive... it has like 3x the write speeds of your standard SSD SLC drivces [04:58] read/writes [04:58] i posted two weeks ago on the forum about my clock skipping a second about every 15 or so seconds, it seems that its not just the clock, but the entire system seems to "skip" for about a half a second, this has been going on since i upgraded to 8.10 and now in 9.04, but htop doesnt tell of any rouge app causing spikes in the cpu usage. i checked the xorg log and there were two warnings, one for a font, the other for v4l, i doubt those [04:59] IncogNegro what about price [04:59] Hi all :) === placebo is now known as Guest9321 [04:59] what is the best p2p on ubuntu [04:59] !best | amr [04:59] amr: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

[05:01] it runs directly off the PCIE buss [05:01] aye, usd [05:01] IncogNegro thats expensive comprared to ssd [05:01] so its like half that in euros D [05:01] IncogNegro: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:01] its expensive, but its like 3x as good [05:01] IncogNegro, yeah [05:03] is there a file checker in ubuntu ... something that will check the basic system files to make sure they didnt get currupted [05:03] Does anyone know of a program like Time Machine in Mac...that you can go back to previous versions of a file?

[05:33] TroN-0074: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [05:33] o.k [05:34] DemonicData: Yes. The only thing will not be encrypted is... /boot section and it's not possible to encrypt it... because that's one of the boot process. :) [05:34] DemonicData: You told me you wanted to stick with TrueCrypt. :) [05:34] mobi-sheep: its not there [05:34] DemonicData: you need to download the Ubuntu Alternate CD [05:34] hmmmm [05:34] Has anyone tried to compile the RT packages for the 2.6.28-11-generic ubuntu kernel??

"Download 64-bit Plugin for Linux" [05:35] ziroday what do I do after System>Aministration>Hardware Drivers? [05:35] Hi [05:35] DemonicData: LUKS encryption is excellent. TrueCrypt is nice, but it was made for Windows.... later ported to linux. [05:35] ziroday: Nota bene: If I restart this computer, the NETGEAR wireless PCMCIA card WG511 will be brought up. -- This computer type is Amilo7600 (also called CY26) made by Fujitsu-Siemens.

[05:36] bullgard4: hmm, I don't know sorry [05:36] FLjohn: I gave you a website -- Click on that and look for a download link "Download 64-bit Plugin for Linux" [05:36] 7zip will extract it [05:36] P4R41, arrrg [05:36] mobi-sheep I read about luks,But can it encrypt my entire Harddrive at this point with everything installed? [05:36] mobi-sheep: I did that [05:36] then how come I cant enable the extra on the visual effect [05:36] I extracted it [05:37] kate1: install p7zip and use the archive creator [05:37] kate1: err archive extractor sorry [05:37] sudo rm won't remove a directory? [05:37] ziroday thanks [05:37] kate1: have fun [05:37] ziroday: is p7zip for archiving .7z format [05:37] ? [05:37] mobi-sheep: I think I have it [05:37] Anyone here know how to install a game from source Code? [05:37] ziroday: There should be a command to bring up a wireless network interface. As there is a command to bring up an ordinary (common) network interface. [05:37] doc_brown: no, do sudo rm -r [05:37] DemonicData: You'll get a fresh Ubuntu installation. You should back up more than just your home directory if you wish to keep everything intact as you're using it right now. [05:37] it did not go to desktop [05:37] !backup | DemonicData [05:37] Larry: what game? [05:37] DemonicData: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [05:38] bullgard4: does it appear in ifconfig -a? [05:38] * doc_brown wonders what he would do without ziroday [05:38] what does make oldconfig && make prepare do? [05:38] FLjohn: Okay. What is the name of the file? Just want to make sure. [05:38] bluephoenix: for compressing, and extracting :) [05:38] mobi-sheep: libflash player [05:38] ziroday, super noob question but i just did sudo apt get install to install p7zip but now i cant find the program...where is it? [05:38] Nah i don't have anything on this system,i gave it all up when i installed ubuntu,If i have to reinstall ubuntu or linux to get full disk encryption i have no problem with that [05:38] ziroday: Yes. [05:38] mobi-sheep: it has a lock on it [05:38] ziroday nvm got it [05:38] kate1: great! [05:39] bullgard4: then try do sudo ifconfig up [05:39] FLjohn: That's okay. You want to put the file in this.... /home/FLjohn/.mozilla/plugins/ [05:39] P4R41: it runs the script oldconfig, and if it completes successfully then it runs make prepare [05:39] ziroday : does it compress to great extent ? [05:39] bluephoenix: yes, 7z is meant to have a great compression algorithm [05:39] robdig: if im being told to do that on the kernel src how do i do that? [05:40] how can i recover deleted folders ? [05:40] ziroday : i will install it ant try it out .... sudo apt-get install p7zip will do rite? [05:40] does anyone know what is going on ... my eth0 connection died ... tried removing tor and privoxy just to see if that was the issue ... no good ... so I plugged in my usb wifi card ... still no good (rebooted a bunch) ... I get a connection icon and all that... ifconfig seems to be fine but I can ping anything but if I ping google.com it comes up with the IP address but no packets go... [05:40] ...anywhere.... does anyone have any idea? [05:40] mobi-sheep: where would that be? [05:40] bluephoenix: err try p7zip-full [05:40] ziroday : thanksssssss [05:41] how can i recover deleted folders? [05:41] FLjohn: What do you mean? [05:41] xchat2 in jaunty, ignoring my urlhandler configuration and loading it's own thing that loads in some gnome generic browser, I don't like it. please help me fix. [05:41] hello all. Does anyone know what does this mean: ata2.00: ACPI cmd 00/00:00:00:00:00:b0 failed (Emask=0x4 Stat=0x00 Err=0x01) [05:41] P4R41, ur running a script called "quickcam.sh"? rite? [05:42] P4R41: just enter those commands in the correct directory, probably the top level one for whatever you're building [05:42] ziroday: This command made light up one LED of the wireless card for a short time. Then the display responded: "SIOCSIFFLAGs: Operation not permitted." What is the function of a SIOCSIFFLAG? [05:42] on dmesg. It appears right after the "starting up". and then is followed by a message telling it failed two times and will be disabled [05:42] I do not have a mozilla folder in my home/john/ [05:42] samd: i have, and 'make' and 'make all' with no success [05:42] bullgard4: I am not sure sorry, did you do it with sudo?

[05:43] FLjohn: You want this --> /home/FLjohn/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so [05:43] FLjohn: What web browser are you using? [05:43] bullgard4: hmm, might be worthwhile to take a peek in dmesg [05:43] chetnick: if you deleted them via nautilus (default file manager) then they should be in the trash so you can move them back where they should belong. if you deleted them via the commmand line, then they're gone [05:43] Is there an easy way to find out your IP address from within a LAN [05:43] is it normal for a laptop to run hotter on linux than on windows? [05:43] I am using firefox, but I will have to find where it is located [05:43] bluephoenix: ouch that looks nasty, what graphics card and driver? [05:43] ghindo: ifconfig [05:44] FLjohn: Are you using the terminal or file manager/ [05:44] P4R41, a very old post (2005) says this "become root because script doesn't understand sudo, it whinges a lot about not working, but then it does.",, [05:44] watch out everyone, doc_brown is learning..... the command line [05:44] ziroday: I just get the 192.168 address with that [05:44] P4R41, its old, but a try doesnt hurt [05:44] I am not sure. I have only had Ubuntu for 5 days [05:44] does anyone have x86_64 jaunty? is the 64 bit flash player from adobe stable to install on it? [05:44] samd: ill try that right now [05:44] FLjohn: Do this on the file manager --> CTRL + H ( This will reveal all hidden file/folders). [05:44] !doc_brown is awesome [05:44] chichihchen: In my experience, it's more stable than the one in the Ubuntu repositories [05:44] can somebody please tell me how to bring up and edit my xorg.conf [05:45] chichihchen: Yes it is. FLjohn is about to install it with my guide. [05:45] chichihchen: Do you know how to install the Adobe version? [05:45] what do I type in terminal to bring up xorg.conf [05:45] Anyone know how to install eclipse in ubuntu 8?please help [05:45] samd: compile failed as root as well [05:45] ghindo: You might want to use giplet -- It's an applet you can add to your panel. [05:45] ghindo: yes, but is it better to install in the user home mozilla plugin directory? [05:45] P4R41, umm ight [05:46] mobi-sheep: I want to find out the IP address on a headless machine :( [05:46] ziroday : its onboard ...VIA Technologies, Inc. K8M800 [05:46] mobi-sheep: I hit ctrl h on my file system [05:46] ok so /var/mail/ doesnt exist and mutt whines, how do I initialize that dir for a user [05:46] mobi-sheep: nothing more opened. (I have only had Ubuntu 5 days) [05:46] ghindo: doing ifconfig eth0 on your headless machine will reveal the IP? >_> The other way is... to use the router's website and look at attached devices. The IP is usually associated with host names. [05:47] chichihchen: I'm not sure, I just followed the directions given here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMD64/FirefoxAndPlugins?action=show&redirect=FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [05:47] ziroday, thiebaude: sweet thanks fellas! mplayer worked for me thiebaude! [05:47] ufw doesnt werk.. [05:47] FLjohn: Okay. I'll try to make things easier for you. Accessories --> Terminal. Please. [05:47] samd: at this rate buying a new webcam might be easier, lol [05:47] great [05:47] ghindo: okay, thanks a lot [05:48] mobi-sheep: I have dealt with terminal before. [05:48] ok I have terminla [05:48] P4R41, lol, yah [05:48] ghindo: only way i know is to either log into your router or go to a website such as http://whatismyipaddress.com/ [05:48] mobi-sheep: Yeah, the ifconfig eth0 just gives me the local address. I'll try the other way. [05:48] robdig: Got it, thank you. [05:49] can anybody help me recover deleted directory? [05:49] ghindo if you want your public ip rather than the private 192.168.x.x you can go to whatismyip.com and it will give you your public address [05:49] ghindo: has it ever crash firefox on your system? [05:49] ghindo: np [05:49] FLjohn: "mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins" [05:50] ziroday: I poke in dmesg. It is full of eth1 statements (more than 100). The most prominent are (repetitive): "eth1: mgt_commit_list: failure. oid=ff020003 err=-12; mgmt txqueue is still full." These will be concluded by: "eth1: mgt_update_addr: failure; eth1: mgt_commit: failure; eth1: interface reset failure; prism54: Your card/socket may be faulty, OR IRQ line too busy :(" I suspect that my the driver prism54 is not re-entrant. [05:50] chichihchen: Maybe a few times, but not any more so than the version in the repos. I've actually had a lot better performance CPU-wise with the native 64-bit version. Although, your results may vary (especially since it's alpha software). [05:50] samd: whats weird is i've installed it via module-assistant with no errors or issues, except it can't locate the module when i try to modprobe or insmod [05:50] mobi-sheep: I did that and nothing happend [05:50] P4R41, as a last resource, you might try easycam a software in which you select your webcam, and it fetches and installs the drivers for that webcam),, check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EasyCam [05:50] P4R41, oh, thats weird [05:50] ghindo: thanks for your info. :-) [05:50] mobi-sheep: it went to the next line and gave me this john@john-desktop:~$ [05:50] chichihchen: Yeah, no problem. [05:51] P4R41, it might be installed as a diferent name?, or just didnt installed [05:51] FLjohn: If no error, then that mean it worked. :) [05:51] gothca so now I should be able to move Hulu [05:51] FLjohn: No. Wait. [05:51] (watch) [05:51] ok [05:51] samd: its possible. when i do a locate quickcam.ko it finds the old version from the previous kernel [05:51] Hello, usins Jaunty, 64. Can not get NVIDIA settings to remain after reboot. I did the "sudo nvidia-settings" applied, and saved . But when I reboot it is back to the default setting? any ideas? Thank you indvance.

Drag the file "libflashplayer.so" to that folder. [05:52] I need some help really bad or my wife is going to kill me [05:53] samd: $modprobe videodev; $insmod quickcam.ko; insmod: can't read 'quickcam.ko': no such file or directory [05:53] Xpistos: Sure, what's your question?

It says it can't go into the recycle bin or trash and I can't find it. Is there any way to recover that stuff [05:53] aside from trying a system restore on her computer [05:53] FLjohn: When you're done with it --> Shut down all Firefox and try it now. [05:54] may: what chinese input method did you use? [05:54] samd: trying easycam [05:54] P4R41, ight [05:55] mobi-sheep: there is a folder there says install [05:55] mobi-sheep: Install flash 10 player [05:55] does anyone know why all my packets are dropping when I ping? [05:55] hello people I have a problem [05:55] FLjohn: Unzip the folder and you should get libflashplayer.so [05:55] donavan: There could be a lot of reasons. Could you go into more detail please? [05:55] I can't instal java [05:56] Hello, using Jaunty, 64. Can not get NVIDIA settings to remain after reboot. I did the "sudo nvidia-settings" applied, and saved .

[05:56] Her desktop is share to my computer via samba. I transfered them to a folder on her desktop but they didnt' all move so I deleted the folder thinking none of them moved [05:57] yes [05:57] songer: Open up the "Add/Remove Software" dialogue, and search for Ubuntu restricted extras [05:57] techically I guess they were on her machine, but they don't show in her recycle bin [05:57] Nirrad: make a copy of /etc/X11/xorg.conf and then use nvidia-settings to save it again but do not choose "merge with current xorg.conf" option [05:57] ok [05:57] Ok I am going to close out web browsers [05:57] samd: lmao, easycam2 wasn't installable becaue the version of python is newer than the one it needs, lol...now im installing an old version of python to install easycam [05:57] Xpistos: You deleted the folder on her machine, or yours? [05:57] does any one know a program/plugin to download live stream videos like the real player plugin ? [05:58] I created a new folder from my ubuntu laptop to her windows box and deleted it from my box to see what happened and it says [05:58] P4R41, lol, what a joke xDD [05:58] ghindo: ifconfig looks good and it says I am connected ... I am using a different machine on the same switch and its ok but when ever I try to ping anything the packets just seem to go nowhere ... I have even plugged in my usb wifi card thinking it might be an issue with my wired card but I get no conection with it either [05:58] FLjohn: You said Install?

[06:02] P4R41, forums sugest as a solution install easycam-qt package instead [06:02] doc_brown: gthumb [06:02] ghindo, ub [06:02] Xpistos: I think he just misunderstood [06:02] FLjohn: You're using username "john" --> right ? [06:02] samd: ill try that first then, thanks [06:02] mobi-sheep: yes [06:02] doc_brown: Try Eye of GNOME, or EOG. It may just show up as something like "Image Viewer" [06:02] P4R41, ight [06:02] FLjohn: Make a folder "plugins" in .mozilla folder [06:02] you want me to take a screen shot and upload it to my website? [06:02] Somewhat obscure question ... I'm trying to save an image from an image host, but it's got some php warnings before it spits out the jpeg data, so I can't see the image (except as ascii-fied binary data). How might I go about pruning the text (the warnings) from the start and saving it as a binary image file? [06:03] I do not see a .mozilla foler [06:03] ghindo: just installed 64 bit flash alpha from adobe. firefox version 3.0.10 is what i am using now. discovered a dangerous bug. by view youtube, there's no problems. But while playing a clip in youtube, open another windows and visit any websites that has a flash advertising will crash firefox. firefox just unexpected quit itself. not even a log trace. disable flash plugin and firefox works fine. [06:03] folder [06:03] Xpistos: You said "the file "xxx" cannot be moved to the trash" [06:03] ghindo: I guess i am just not sure if I am trying to recover from windows or ubuntu [06:03] FLjohn: Sure. [06:03] Xpistos: It's hard for me to say and I'm not sure I know. :( [06:03] hi. I just reinstalled 9.04 and my Nvidia graphics card isn't in my hardware drivers menu [06:03] How would I find wine in the Ubuntu 9.04 repos? I activated universe (or so I think), but I do not see wine [06:03] hey I opened Add/Remove And It says This application conflicts with other installed software. To install 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' the conflicting software must be removed first. [06:03] Switch to the 'synaptic' package manager to resolve this conflict. [06:04] TheFunkbomb: try Update Manager first, then it will pop up. [06:04] chichihchen: That's too bad. Like I said, it IS alpha software, so that may be expected. I guess just roll back to the regular version of flash until the 64-bit one matures a bit more. [06:04] chichihchen, nevermind. it popped up this time [06:04] "Cannot move file to trash, do you want to delete immediately? the file "xxx" cannot be moved to the trash" I deleted them accidently cause I didn't realize any of the files had moved. I am trying to recover the data [06:04] Xpistos: And you said yes to that? [06:04] ghindo: i guess i have stick with the 32 bit flash. [06:05] TheFunkbomb: :-) [06:05] next question... how do I get ubuntu to automatically mount a drive partition? [06:05] TheFunkbomb: Make an entry in /etc/fstab for it. [06:05] hi guys, is it possible to connect ipod touch with Ubuntu?? [06:06] usr13, I was afraid of that :( [06:06] fstab scares me [06:06] TheFunkbomb: normally it already automatically mount any recognized ones. but you can modify /etc/fstab to manually add them. [06:06] TheFunkbomb: It's no problem really.. [06:06] !paste [06:06] 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) [06:06] i did. I didn't realize anything moved to the folder because it said I didn't have permissions so I thought I was deleting any empty folder [06:07] hello all [06:07] see, I'm looking at fstab and I have no idea what this all is [06:07] does any one know a program/plugin to download live stream videos like the real player plugin ? [06:07] Xpistos: I think it may be gone for good. But again, I'm not sure. Keep asking in this channel and see if there's anybody more knowledgable than me who can help you out. [06:07] is it ok to have repositories of older versions of ubuntu if an older software version is required? [06:07] mobi-sheep: http://www.glorystock.com/Screenshot.png [06:08] TheFunkbomb: Just add a line at the bottom. /dev/sda# /My_Files auto user,rw 0 0 [06:08] TheFunkbomb: Something to that effect. [06:08] okay... let me try this out [06:08] TheFunkbomb: what type of partition are you mounting? [06:09] chichihchen, it's an NTFS share partition for my dual boot [06:09] TheFunkbomb: # Where My_Files is a valid directory that you create for mount point. [06:09] TheFunkbomb: man fstab [06:09] okay [06:09] i have error "Failed to fetch" when sudo apt-get update ? [06:09] does any know ? [06:10] TheFunkbomb: is it on the 1st hard drive, is it in the 2nd partition or 1st partion in that drive? [06:10] pnukeid: which version of ubuntu are you using? [06:10] 9.04 [06:10] chichihchen, it's on the first hard drive. It's sda5 I believe [06:10] pnukeid: which sources does it not get? [06:10] How do I know if I have the latest ATI-driver in my laptop? I mean for my graphic card [06:10] samd: sonofa...i already have those repositories added, so if easy-cam-qt doesn't work...back to the drawing board [06:11] FLjohn: "cd ~ && mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins && mv libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins" [06:11] P4R41, ight, keep me updated xDD [06:11] FLjohn: No error? If that's the case, restart the Firefox. === christiekoehler is now known as christiekoehler| [06:11] TheFunkbomb: make a copy of your /etc/fstab to /etc/fstab.bak; then add: /dev/sda5 /mnt/ ntfs default 1 2 [06:12] Istarnes: kambing.ui.edu [06:12] is there a way to do dpkg-query on all packages in repository and not on my local machine?

[06:18] chichihchen, I already named the drive "Share" I know, real original. Is that the mount name? [06:19] i have i usb belkin n1 usb drive [06:19] when I installed Ubuntu on the XP HDD, I was able to be here in chat, can I do that when I reinstall XP? [06:19] TheFunkbomb: But first you must create the directory (the mount point) [06:19] Excuse, the file I downloaded and burned onto DVD won't startup to install 9.04 when I try, is it time to burn it again? I used a DVD R+ disc thinking it made no difference [06:19] I have no idea what that means usr13 [06:19] Soren_: Sure. Download mIRC --- 30 days trial. (NOT FREE AS UBUNTU!) [06:19] TheFunkbomb: mkdir /Share [06:19] TheFunkbomb: you can name it anything. if you want to name it `share`, it's okay. after finishing editing /etc/fstab, just mkdir /mnt/share to create a mount point in /mnt [06:20] gotcha [06:20] TheFunkbomb: sudo mkdir /Share [06:20] TheFunkbomb: sudo gedit /etc/fstab [06:20] Soren_: There even are ##windows chat for your XP.

[06:27] guycook: if you burn the iso, choose "burning cd-iso" not "burning data-cd" [06:27] it seems like windows is built on a house of cards [06:27] TheFunkbomb: haha, i normally mount removable media under /media, for partition, i put it under /mnt [06:27] TheFunkbomb: Depends on what entry you put in /etc/fstab [06:27] iceroot, thanks I suspected it was something between the keyboard and the screen :) [06:27] Soren_: windows has no live-system so you can not work with the pc while installing [06:27] TheFunkbomb: It's up to you [06:27] guycook: as always :) [06:27] :( [06:27] iceroot: oic [06:28] TheFunkbomb: if you put /dev/sda5 to mount at /mnt/share in your /etc/fstab, then you mkdir /mnt/share [06:28] I just mounted it here, it's ubuntu-9.04-desktop-amd64.iso that explains it, I made a data disk! [06:28] is there a quick explaination as to why Ubuntu has no viruses [06:28] okay, I think this is all set. [06:28] Let me reboot and see [06:28] TheFunkbomb: ubuntu normally mounts everything under /media and does not use /mnt at all, what you decide to do is up to you. [06:28] well, it's a backup then...no worries, thanks lots [06:28] TheFunkbomb: No need to reboot [06:28] no? [06:28] Soren_: because noone is using it, you are not root while working and so on [06:28] TheFunkbomb: mount -a [06:29] arand: my 1st day in ubuntu, been using fedora, redhat all my life.

[06:29] pnukeid: I suppose it won't hurt though [06:30] TheFunkbomb: go ahead and reboot. you will need to use the new driver for your nvidia [06:30] TheFunkbomb: No need to reboot to make your graphics driver work. [06:30] usr13: no? [06:30] arand: No [06:30] arand: you can just restart X I think [06:30] how can i create a share so that windows users can write to a directory?

[06:43] *isnt [06:43] geos: in ndisgtk, but that requires ndiswrapper [06:43] sebsebseb: sorry um Im in gnome I think it is [06:43] any commands I can try to query the hardware...or check the drivers... [06:43] it should be... [06:43] geos: with ndisgtk you just open the program> select the driver> acept> restart and ready, no need of terminal [06:43] g0wda: its not possible [06:43] g0wda: not practically [06:43] g0wda: it is. But, it doesn't make sense. Even without sudo, she can accidentally break all of your files/etc. [06:43] bcas im on win xp [06:43] can drivers cause sucha prob.. [06:43] i thought sudo asks for root's password [06:43] g0wda: no [06:43] it wokrs on xp without a hitch... [06:43] PsyCl0ne: yes, but you can also use KDE apps in Gnome [06:43] g0wda: user's password [06:43] g0wda: its asking for your password [06:44] g0wda: Sudo is a way of "borrowing" power from root. [06:44] g0wda: by default there is no root-password [06:44] oh ok [06:44] and nobody knows what root's password is?? [06:44] I just read how WinXP doesn't play well with others......needs ubuntu to be marked inactive [06:44] g0wda: in ubuntu, other ditris are enabling root by default [06:44] huuu is her [06:44] g0wda: User isolation / restrictions is a good thing / an important thing. Borrowing root priviledges is also a good thing. [06:44] g0wda: yes nobody knows because its a password with wrong syntax [06:44] hi [06:45] geos: You have no net in ubuntu? [06:45] sebsebseb: Oh! Ok, is it easy to get, currently I'm not to proficient at the terminal. [06:45] g0wda: the root pasword is locked, there is no root password. [06:45] oh ok [06:45] er, root account is locked, there is no root password. [06:45] so even if i make a new account she can do 'sudo nautilus' and see my files?? [06:45] g0wda: It is best to work within these boundries. And it works quite well too. [06:45] hello [06:45] Flannel: i thought there is one but with incorrect syntax [06:46] Flannel: to long or something like that [06:46] g0wda: Does she know linux? o.O [06:46] g0wda: What? No. Her new account won't have access to using sudo. [06:46] g0wda: Only if you give her permission to do so. [06:46] g0wda: you can limit what she does by messing with /etc/sudoers [06:46] PsyCl0ne: how much space for Ubuntu? [06:46] sebsebseb: Um a new 60gb hdd [06:46] g0wda: by default, you can't do anything without being in the admin group, but that group lets you do anything [06:46] lstarnes: now that's "INFO" [06:46] g0wda: By default, she will not have those permissions. [06:46] geos: you will need to get the packages ndisgtk, ndiswrapper-utils-1.9, and ndiswrapper-common to satisfy dependencies for it... [06:47] iceroot: It contains characters that the has can never contain (I believe *), so it's impossible for a hash of the password you enter to match it. [06:47] g0wda: you can add her account to /etc/sudoers without putting her in the admin group [06:47] arand no i dont have internet on line [06:47] ok.. im trying /etc/sudoers out [06:47] usr13: can his sister do sudo though? === chichihchen is now known as moo [06:47] Flannel: Does Ubuntu Jaunty encrypt home directories from LiveCD or that's something you need to toggle on in Alternative Disc? [06:47] PsyCl0ne: there's also Mercury Messenger which does nearly every MSN feature plus some of it's own stuff, maybe a little buggy though since only one guy made it and closed source, but it can be good, and it uses Java. you would have to install that from outside the Ubuntu program download server repos [06:47] g0wda: also, you should use a toll such as visudo to edit /etc/sudoers [06:47] Flannel: yes,, thats what i mean, incorrect syntax but there is one :) [06:47] g0wda: No, you don't need to modify /etc/sudoers. [06:47] g0wda: As lstarnes says, you can add her to admin group but she won't be by default. [06:47] iceroot: No, there's a hash for the password, there is no password. [06:47] g0wda: don't edit it directly though. visudo will indirectly edit it [06:47] she_dyed: Not by default. === moo is now known as Guest69300 [06:47] Flannel: ah ok [06:48] Can someone help me fix my sound in ubuntu jaunty. It stopped working after I installed avant [06:48] usr13, thanks i saw more explanations too [06:48] Evening all! [06:48] yeah... i'll be careful... i used sudo gedit [06:48] PsyCl0ne: and there's a way to run Windows Live Messenger 8.5 as well, but I don't know how well it works yet, since not tried yet. and I would only try, since using their program with Linux hum [06:48] i jist got my pc now [06:48] g0wda: I'm confused at what you're looking to do again. Why are you editing sudoers if you just want to make it so she can't do administrative tasks? [06:48] g0wda: No. Don't use sudo gedit. [06:48] * Guest69300 will be back [06:48] sebsebseb: I dont know what you mean by install it from outside the Ubuntu program download server repos [06:48] PsyCl0ne: yes I wasn't clear [06:48] !repo [06:48] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [06:48] I am receiving an error when burning ISOs in Brasero. I have seen multiple forum posts about the same issue, but no fix. Does anyone have any ideas? [06:49] !brasero [06:49] Flannel: I won't edit it! i'll just see what it does, [06:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about brasero [06:49] g0wda: did you want to give her some admin access but not full admin access, or just no admin access? [06:49] WindowSmasher: what about posting the errors [06:49] PsyCl0ne: open the terminal === Foaf is now known as cheerschopper [06:49] PsyCl0ne: sudo apt-get install kmess [06:49] kk [06:49] hooo is sudoers!!! [06:49] PsyCl0ne: that will download and install it for you, but also put on some KDE programs [06:49] iceroot: I have a copy of the error file. [06:49] lstarnes: Knowing brother/sister bond.... I assume he want no admin access. [06:49] g0wda: if you just want to look: cat /etc/group or less /etc/group [06:49] lstarnes: ok, i want to keep her from seeing some of my files and from installing/removing packages [06:50] !pastebin | WindowSmasher [06:50] WindowSmasher: 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) [06:50] O_O [06:50] PsyCl0ne: you can have Gnome/Ubuntu and KDE/Kubuntu as options and Xubuntu/XFCE even [06:50] g0wda: do you want her to not be able to mess with anything out of her home directory? [06:50] g0wda: That is the default behaviour. [06:50] iceroot: Sounds good. Standby [06:50] PsyCl0ne: ,but don't need the whole of KDE installed for it's apps in Gnome [06:50] How can I fix my sound in ubuntu Jaunty. It stopped working for no apparent reason. I can still hear system sounds and sounds on the login screen but nothing else [06:50] lstarnes: yup [06:50] usr13: not quite. She'd likely be able to see his files by default. [06:50] geos [06:50] sebsebseb: I get an error "Couldn't find package kmess" [06:50] g0wda: then don't add her to the admin group [06:50] !find kmess [06:50] Found: kmess [06:51] I have a lot of work to do [06:51] WindowSmasher: sorry i have to go (to wolfsburg) now but others can help you here. good luck [06:51] !info kmess [06:51] she can't use sudo if i don't add her to admin group rite?

Version 1.5-0ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 1840 kB, installed size 4272 kB [06:51] g0wda: by default, that will bewhat priviliges she has: editing anything she owns, but nothing else [06:51] g0wda: Correct. [06:51] Thanks! [06:51] PsyCl0ne: ok looks like you got to enable the universe repo [06:51] thanks [06:51] g0wda: yes, unless you add her to /etc/sudoers [06:51] PsyCl0ne: system > administaration > software sources [06:51] lstarnes: No need to complicate things [06:51] sebsebseb: ok just a second I know how to do that [06:51] PsyCl0ne: check universe === lis__ is now known as JONT [06:52] banned from dalnet....?? [06:52] anyone can help? [06:52] o3yx: This isnt the channel for it. [06:52] o3yx: check their website for contact info [06:52] brb [06:53] is that so.. [06:53] o3yx: Shouldn't mess around with the big dogs. ;< [06:53] thanks for info [06:53] but still there shouldve been a way to change only sudo's password and keep mine the same ;) === Guest69300 is now known as cchen [06:53] does ubuntu have memory protection? === ^root^ is now known as error404notfound [06:53] g0wda: then ask its developers about it [06:53] g0wda: there is. But that's not what you want to do. [06:53] tomsdale: what do you mean by memory protection? [06:54] Flannel: i want to knw it if there is such a thing... [06:54] now that's what i want to do! [06:54] :P [06:54] any ethernet card troubleshooting tools? [06:54] g0wda, you didn't give her ths password yet did you [06:54] she knows that of my account [06:55] g0wda: might be time to change passwords [06:55] g0wda: The sudo is for your account. Give her non-admin account with a different password. [06:55] but i can change it yeah === mivron is now known as Guest23370 === cchen is now known as chichihchen [06:56] g0wda, change it now [06:56] lol... see what happens when u share the same comp in the same house is, u'll have to let her work for 10mins when she asks for... so if i go, "Log out and use ur account" she's surely gonna go furious... [06:56] sebsebseb: ok, there we go its downloading now. === chichihchen is now known as cchen [06:56] clear [06:56] ops [06:56] lstarnes: is there a protection if one program tries to access the memory space of another program - i guess that'S more of a linux kernel question ... [06:57] tomsdale: almost every modern OS has that, including linux [06:57] so I want to change only sudo's password! [06:57] g0wda: No she won't. [06:57] g0wda - sudo's password is the users password. [06:57] g0wda: That's what you should be doing. We even have fast user switching now. [06:57] she's elder to me!! [06:57] g0wda: that's why I use the switch user feature [06:57] g0wda - if you give her access to sudo she can still access your account and even sudo passwd YOURACCT to get into your info if she wanted. [06:57] g0wda: There are Guest Account --> Right-click on your name and Guest Account. That could be a solution but it's something short-term. [06:57] g0wda: so? it's your computer, isn't it? [06:58] g0wda - if you trust her and its a home computer there is really no issue w sharing an account. [06:58] its both of ours... lol === Guest23370 is now known as mivron [06:58] no g0wda, get into the mindset here, linux has always been about multiuser [06:58] she_dyed - dont try to force beliefs on people. Just because an OS is capable of multiple users doesnt mean you HAVE to use it. If sharing a single account makes sense there is no harm in it for personal use. [06:58] she_dyed - if this was an enterprise situation it would be different. [06:59] g0wda: How old are you? So we know what we're working with. <_< [06:59] okk... i'll figure it out myself i guess... [06:59] i have an issue with fce ultra the games play really slow [06:59] 17 [06:59] lstarnes: thanks - I relayed that question from another channel, helped a lot :-) [06:59] and she's 21 [06:59] !sudo | g0wda [06:59] g0wda: 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) [06:59] iceroot, thanks, I"m installing now, hopefully I can replace the 7.04 with the 9.04 and not have 'issues' it's finding partions now, just got past the "Keyboard Layout" portion [07:00] i enabled opengl and disabled the sound but i was wondering, if there are alternative emulators for NES ? [07:00] g0wda: Just create a new account for her. Don't assign her to admin group. That's it. [07:00] mindrape, not forcing it, but the correct approach may be the solution [07:00] tomsdale: the only operating systems I know of that don't use protected memory are old ones like DOS [07:00] giving outright sudo access (instead of restricting its use to specific commands in sudoers) gains you NO additional security for your account... she can very easily use that sudo access to pull up nautilus and see everything of his or change his password. [07:00] g0wda: Again, you dont want to go down that path. You really should be doing it another way. You *already* mentioned you wanted to be able to keep files from her, you really should create another account. [07:00] tomsdale: there may be others === patricio is now known as Guest43274 [07:00] she_dyed - you assume there is a "correct" approach. [07:01] mindrape, instread of a scattershot shoot from the hip approach yes [07:01] if you want to "keep files" from somebody use a thumbdrive and keep it with you at all times. If its on the local filesystem and she has sudo access and is even slightly tech savvy she'll get to them. [07:01] she_dyed - your are presumptuous and asinine. You basically are saying anybody that has ever shared an account is a nitwit. ignored for blatant ignorance... [07:01] g0wda: if you need to hide files from others, there's also encfs [07:01] mindrape, she_dyed: cool it.

' was what i wanted to know how to do [07:29] brb [07:29] she_dyed, I repartioned the drive 50-50 and that should have saved the old one, not sure if I can see it if I boot to 9.04 yet [07:29] sissi: just add that line to .bashrc [07:29] I kept the mozilla firefox and evolution from 7.04 profile and copied that to 9.04 [07:30] guycook, gotcha [07:30] arand: I'll have to download that cd, I'm currently working in Iraq so my internet is not the greatest to do a network upgrade.

[07:33] she_dyed, exactly it's to pay bills [07:33] kits, strange, mplayer should pick up the system codecs [07:33] The only worry I have is catching the swine flu, that area of Washington state, King County has the most cases [07:34] I think about it, and wash my hands [07:34] guycook, omg [07:34] * mechdave learns never to lick wasabi off fingers after eating sushi [07:34] well, 72%, still working [07:34] guycook: I think your sliding out towards the ot zone there, mind it.

[07:50] guycook, it's menu.lst or menu.1st [07:50] she_dyed, and I'll have to be sudo to edit the menu.1st right? [07:51] guycook, think so. Do an ls to see if there are any backups too [07:51] I see default? [07:51] spunk1: It might be the graphics that are gumming up the works. [07:51] guycook, with a number next to it?

But you know what to do, for the most part tight? [07:55] right* [07:55] Demonicdata, by any chance did you run sudo firefox? [07:55] she_dyed, if I 'm in 9 what should is say for the kernel version [07:55] she_dyed, I know to ask if I'm unsure [07:55] How can I configure ubuntu so that only vmware has access to a network interface? [07:55] nickrud:no i just used the preinstalled firefox icon [07:55] she_dyed, thanks for your help [07:56] yw, and good luck guycook [07:56] it says i own it .mozilla.were else is mozilla [07:56] spunk1: Which release of Ubuntu are you using? [07:56] Demonicdata, make sure all the subfolders are owned by you [07:57] 9.04 jaunty jackalope [07:57] Demonicdata, most common cause is root ownership in a dot file/directory [07:57] spunk1: I'm not sure, but maybe this will help: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/intel-graphics-performance-guide-for-ubuntu-904-jaunty-users.html [07:58] i installed so that it would take all my hard drive [07:58] oh thanks [07:58] i'll check it out [07:58] since everything in the menu.lst says it's hd0,0 then I'm booted into 7 instead of 9 [07:58] is there anyway to add something to the "Places" menu? [07:58] that's my guess at this point [07:58] TheFunkbomb, add them as a bookmark in nautilus [07:59] I don't think that the grub got rewritten during the install , I was expecting to chose 7 or 9 [07:59] spunk1: Here's another that might help: http://www.workswithu.com/2009/05/06/the-ubuntu-904-intel-graphics-fiasco/ [07:59] nickrud,yes but it isn't accepting my permission changes. it says i have folder ownership, but under file it won't accept my read/write permission change [07:59] spunk1: I think you are just experiencing an unfortunate circumstance in what is otherwise an absolutely amazing operating system. (: [07:59] how do i pipe what i'm listening to to pidgin?? [08:00] nickrud, thanks [08:00] Demonicdata, not sure what you mean. You mean you can't change it using the properties in nautilus (the file manager)? [08:00] Ah, when I open firefox it says welcome to Ubuntu 7.04, Feisty Fawn, so I didn't get the install to be a part of the menu.lst in grub, anyone have an idea how to fix that? [08:00] * P4R41 can't wait for karmic koala [08:00] guycook, try lsb_release -a in a terminal, that's the definitive way to show your ubuntu version [08:01] P4R41: what's new (strikingly) in KK? [08:01] I was installing the netbook remix, next thing I know I looked over and im at a busy box terminal, is that supposed to happen? [08:01] g0wda: intel fixes. the ones that should have been in jaunty :) [08:01] Kolie, no, busybox means a failure somewhere. [08:01] awesome!! i have intel and Jaunty!! lol [08:02] nickrud, it's 7.04, [08:02] hope my gfx card works!!! [08:02] ffs I just want a install on my netbook. [08:02] yeah the boot time is really fast [08:02] no wonder i was having problems with 9.04 and when I downgraded back to 8.10 everything was fine again [08:02] just gotta solve this problem and i bet i'll like it a lot [08:02] nickrud, is it easy to add the other, I'm pretty sure it's in here...somewhere on drive C also [08:02] Why is my install busyboxing. [08:02] guycook, the install should have written grub to the master boot record. When you boot, do you see more than one ubuntu available? hit esc if you see no menu [08:03] guycook, you could always run sudo update-grub , however if you have windows that might lose it in your boot menu. [08:03] spunk1: It looks like both of those pages link to other pages with possible solutions. You'll probably want to do a Google search on integrated Intel graphics in Ubuntu and read a few people's experiences to see what might work best. [08:03] The grub menu appears, but only offers up 2.6.20 kernel as the name, so I can't tell if it's 9 or not [08:03] * little is an NVIDIA girl. (: [08:04] g0wda: lol I know. I'm dissapointed how much tweaking i had to do in jaunty, despite the fact that the 845G is pretty old [08:04] I think I need to add the path to 9 into the menu.lst file correct nickrud ? [08:04] so what's the deal with wine-doors? [08:05] guycook, ubuntu has a nice tool that does it for you. do cp /boot/grub/menu.lst ~/Desktop (make a backup of grub to your desktop) and then run sudo update-grub. It will rebuild it, and if there's another ubuntu install it will find it and add it properly [08:05] Lights2486: you were having issues with an intel video card? [08:05] P4R41: I still can't get mine to work (i so badly want the normal desktop effects)... can u help? warning: u'll almost have to spoon feed!! [08:05] ;) [08:05] cool, thanks for the advise === Jacobo_Dos_Dos is now known as xangua [08:05] nickrud, ok, I have menu.lst in gedit now so just save it as menu.lst-bk then right? [08:05] Kolie, I know nothing about netbooks; you might ask in #ubuntu-eeepc for some help. Probably not the exact right place but they may know if there is one [08:05] Could some one help me getting my Webcam working in Mercury messenger [08:06] thanks. [08:06] guycook, you can do that, yes. If you're sure it's an exact copy, with no edits [08:06] g0wda: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 [08:06] those are the best improvements you can make [08:06] if i want to format an external drive (usb hdd enclosure) so that i can be read/written in linux, windows and mac, what filesystem do i use and how do i do that in ubuntu ? [08:06] P4R41: thanks [08:07] hello [08:07] nickrud, I did what you said copied to the Desktop [08:07] guycook, ok, do you have a windows install on this machine? [08:07] can anyone tell me how to run a command upon successful wireless connection (post_associate is the keyword?) ? [08:07] now will run the sudo update-grub [08:07] P4R41, i was, originally, but i swapped the card [08:08] nickrud, what kernel should the 9 install be? [08:09] guycook, 2.6.28 [08:09] Lights2486: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 that should actually fix a lot of issues [08:09] I ask because the sudo update-grub didn't find that.... [08:09] spunk1: I hope you enjoy it otherwise. (: [08:09] in case you want to try [08:09] guycook, it should mention more than one kernel if there is more than one install. I'd guess that the install didn't go correctly. [08:09] ManDay: Is this for a script? [08:10] guycook, do you have a windows install on that machine? [08:10] nickrud, is there anything else I can check? [08:10] guycook, I ask, because I don't want you to lose your windows boot if you have one [08:10] nickrud, not sure, I may have overwrote that with this install [08:11] little, bash, if possible [08:11] nickrud, this isn't a windows computer, primary OS' will be x64 unbuntu 7 and 9 [08:11] guycook, then your best bet is to inspect each partition for it's contents. You should see them under places [08:11] guycook, cool, I just don't like leaving people with less than they started with :) [08:11] ManDay: This might help: http://littlegirl.hostrator.com/ConditionalExecution.html [08:12] Can someone help me getting my webcam running in either aMSN or Mercury Messenger please.

[08:12] nickrud, ok, I have disk and disk-1, where would I look in disk-1 to see if that's 9? [08:13] NvidiaUser, it appears to be an imcomplete install. guycook look at etc/lsb-release on each partition for definitive info of what Ubuntu or other linux version it is [08:13] nickrud ah okay [08:14] P4R41: I had this problem even in hardy... running compiz from the terminal says blacklisted device found b4 screwing up my display to the point where i'll have to restart... u sure this fix might help? === suma is now known as RKR [08:14] nickrud, lsb-release? I see lsb-base [08:14] duh on me, it's a file [08:14] guycook, that's a directory, there should be a file lsb-release. It is in every ubuntu version [08:14] overheat problem in ubuntu 9.04 [08:14] :) [08:15] Hi any body help me how to use remastersys in ubuntu [08:15] ok, found jaunty [08:15] pls anybody reply me [08:16] RKR, not me [08:17] nickrud: do you know? [08:17] nickrud, now I"m not sure where the 7.04 lsb-release is at? [08:17] RKR: Remastersys has a page specifically for Ubuntu users with some instructions: http://www.geekconnection.org/remastersys/ubuntu.html [08:17] RKR, just said I didn't :) [08:17] guycook, same place on a different partition [08:18] little: i found there but i dont know how to install/reomve any packages while customizing [08:18] Little, thanks but the problem is rather how to determine whether wireless is active or not [08:18] i could do a grep on ifconfig [08:19] Ok, nickrud in the File System is where the 7.04 is at and in disk-1 is the 9.04 [08:19] but someone suggested to run post_associate in the init script for network [08:19] nickrud, per the lsb-release [08:19] i just deleted the firefox folder of .mozilla. that reset it till its accepting changes but i can't do this every time i friggin browse [08:20] ManDay: Ah, I'm not familiar with wireless, sorry. The best I can do is say that in the far recesses of my mind are ifup and ifdown as possible commands to look into. [08:20] I have a laptop with a shot HDD controller but all else works perfect. Can someone suggest how to setup a customized livecd/usb env to use on a daily basis ? [08:20] i'm on wireless [08:20] guycook, ok, then disk-1 should have boot/vmlinuz-* , [08:20] thx little [08:20] I cannot access the internet via eth0 however i can access it via eth1, I've checked interfaces and network connections and everything seems to be fine.. [08:20] nickrud, looking [08:20] hipitihop: Which tool are you going to use for cutomization? [08:21] Demonicdata, is this the original firefox, the beta, or what? It's odd that the permissions keep changing. did you make a custom launcher? [08:21] nickrud, yes, it's got that boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic there [08:22] guycook, then update-grub should have found the 2.6.28. Something very odd about your install; I think I'd redo it myself [08:22] RKR: I've only just decided that this laptop should still be usable but have no idea so open to suggestions, I'm happy to use a combination standard ubuntu livecd and a usb drive if that's possible otherwise as I said open to suggestions [08:23] g0wda: i can't be sure. what device are you using? [08:23] nickrud, I'm trying to have 2 partions side by side, so can't I just add the 9.04 to the default grub? [08:23] are ubuntu 5.10 repositories online? [08:23] Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G] [08:23] hipitihop: I cant understand explain clearly [08:23] RKR: or I assume where you are heading is actually create a custom livecd [08:23] how do I get an old nvidia card to work under jaunty? it worked fine on hardy [08:23] nickrud, I forget did we run update-grub as root? [08:23] kj4: not a geforce 6600 by any chance? [08:23] anybody here can help me figuring out why compiling source code wont work? [08:23] g0wda: im on the same acrd [08:24] guycook, yes you can do it manually. Although I've never seen update-grub fail to find an install in 8 years. And yes, you run it as root ;) [08:24] card* [08:24] it's pretty old... bought it in 2006 [08:24] check http://pastebin.com/d2c3b9e07 [08:24] its the firefox that came with ubunt 9.04 === hello is now known as Guest31153 [08:24] ozzloy, no, its a riva tnt [08:24] serious? [08:24] hipitihop: what are going to do in your laptop just explain! [08:24] kj4: ah, even older [08:24] did it work on hardy for you? [08:24] RKR: I'll try a little simpler... I want to boot of cd or usb flash and preserve settings [08:24] kj4: I don't think nvidia's binaries are supporting those any more [08:24] if it works on hardy then use it on hardy.. [08:24] P4R41: did it work on hardy for you? [08:24] ozzmosis, oh well [08:24] doesn't matter [08:24] you don't need to run bleeding edge software [08:25] g0wda: never had hardy [08:25] kj4: well, the problem for me when I tried one was that the drivers don't like jaunty's newer kernel, essentially [08:25] RKR: machine will be used to connect on the internet and to home network nas for storage [08:25] anybody uses anyremote? [08:25] P4R41: oh [08:25] nickrud, I"ll run the install again then, I'd rather have it work correctly [08:25] ozzmosis, i figured as much. maybe i'll get a newer card. are most geforce supported? [08:25] hipitihop: i think that you have to only use the ubuntu live CD in your laptop isnt it? [08:25] ManDay: I just took a look at the man pages for ifup and ifdown and those won't work for what you're trying to do. It looks like all they do is bring the interface up or down. They can't seem to do a status on them.

[09:26] yeah [09:26] first time it takes a while to boot [09:26] hadnt upgraded the kernel yet.... just the ppa screwed up so much [09:26] but another reboot makes it faster [09:26] profile should not be added permanent btw, just for 1 boot [09:26] Spike1506: so the kernel profiles its own boot process? [09:28] Grub cap profile your startup, it's a kind of index on file read at boottime, so after the first time (when it builds the index) it will access those files faster.

[09:47] progesterone: 256 is very little or ubuntu, I would suggest you use a lighter distro like xubuntu.... [09:47] well, goodnight, after 2 install tries, and sudo update-grub failing I find there might be an issue with update-grub as recent as april 2009 per google. Time for bed now. [09:47] Elby Then click X Server Display Configuration and you can click resolution . I set mine to auto. [09:47] should i restart first [09:47] Elby Yeah [09:48] Since installing Jaunty I have a LOT of segfaulting from a lot of apps. For example firefox, evolution, pidgin, transmission, gimp and gthumb. I have already tested my RAM with memorytester and found no errors. What could be wrong? [09:48] Idespnnr Do you think xbuntu can run smoothly on my PC with 256MB ram? [09:49] yes [09:49] probably [09:49] hello i note some problem on ubuntu 9.04.. and back to 8.10 there is working well [09:49] what problems [09:49] ? [09:49] askand : same for me [09:49] ChanServ 是不是机器人？ [09:49] progesterone: yes, I'm doing it now. [09:49] n2diy: 256mb ram? [09:50] as asland ... firefox downloading freeze [09:50] n2diy run smoothly? [09:50] progesterone: yes, [09:50] anyone know how to pipe what ur listening to in to pidgin [09:50] whats a segfault [09:50] Nynn: strange, do you have memorymodules from different vendors in your computer? [09:50] Idespnnr: yes [09:51] askand: no 4x kingstong [09:51] my system wont stay stable long enough to updat [09:51] this sucks [09:51] algun esàñol? [09:51] Nynn: have you filed a report? [09:51] i guess it was something wrong with ethernet/disk swap? [09:51] n2diy Thanks [09:51] mrthraz: segmentation fault, google it. [09:51] Idespnnr Thanks === kaane_ is now known as m11 [09:52] español [09:52] progesterone: GL, 73 [09:52] askand : no i didn't know how [09:52] askand : that why i wanted to talk about it [09:52] n2diy What did you mean? [09:52] Nynn: Ok, I made a thread about it here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1167285 I will file a bugreport later on and post the link in that thread :) [09:53] askand : i had "radeon HD weakness problem too but it's known [09:53] progesterone: GL, is good luck, 73 is ham radio speak, for gl. [09:53] Notch-1, you can put that in your .bash_profile file in your $HOME so it will run whenever you log in [09:53] Serdar1: but that's kinda defeating the purpose of the .pac file. oh well. you can do similar by editing apt.conf instead of a http_proxy envvar. [09:53] algun español? [09:53] can someone help me generate a autoconf.h file from my kernel and kernel headers? [09:53] askand: you notice computer freeze... === thefake is now known as Lord-FaKe [09:54] askand : i my case it was is if my memory or my cpu was blocked [09:55] nynn: i had also one time Acpid existing Freeze messsage on halt [09:55] ? [09:56] Nynn: Oh yes I notice freezes :( [09:56] hilarious, sitting in my townhouse parking lot leeching internet because my wireless router isn't here yet lol [09:56] when I issue ping -b xxx..., only my router replies, why don't I see all the boxes on my lan responding? [09:56] yay for battery live [09:57] sorry about all the rejoins [09:57] computer issues [09:57] n2diy, that is because you are pinging the broadcast address and only your router is configured to respond due to DHCP running on it [09:58] mechdave: but isn't bash_profile executed every login? i will have the command executed multiple times? [09:58] i'm looking for a software to "watch" my roommates and sort of manage the load on me and my roommates wireless network to make sure no one is hogging all the bandwidth, is there a good Ubuntu Package for that? [09:59] myxo: ntop? but only if your computer is inline... [09:59] mechdave: ok, how]what do I need to do, to see/enable the other boxes, so they respond? [09:59] Notch-1, only at login, not whenever you open a terminal [09:59] Idespnnr, lulz no. [09:59] idespnnr what do you mean inline [10:00] myxo, you need to have a linux machine acting as the router before your wireless device. then you need to setup several packages [10:00] n2diy: maybe run nmap over your network's address space [10:00] ah ok, well i'm not doing that airtonix [10:00] n2diy: there is also arpscan [10:00] any simpler way? [10:00] mechdave: ah strange, are you sure? just one time and with the graphical login? [10:00] myxo I have never use one on linux but here is a site with some bandwidth monitors: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/bandwidth-monitoring-tools-for-ubuntu-users.html [10:00] myxo, use squid for bandwidth control [10:00] myxo, jnettop for realtime network monitoring [10:01] airtonix squid eh? thats for my machine right? [10:01] ping [10:01] airtonix monitoring IS all i need really, so that would be good [10:01] pong [10:01] Notch-1, should be... that is the way it always has worked for me anyways :) [10:01] ozzmosis: thanks, but I'm a newbie to networking. I think I need a link to a lan howto? [10:01] myxo: what airtonix is saying is that you need to have the traffic being directed through your computer before you can see how much is being used [10:01] myxo, no you use squid on the machine acting as the 'gateway' between the home network and your wireless access device [10:01] i downloaded and installed LWM and im having some trouble configuring it, are there any theme sites that have instructions for setting LWM up? [10:01] well [10:01] mechdave: thanks :D [10:01] im in vista now [10:01] squid is only for http traffic... [10:02] since i cant boot to ubuntu [10:02] n2diy: not sure. also not sure hosts on a network are supposed to reply back to a ping on a broadcast address. [10:02] it says monitor out of scan range or something [10:02] and i didnt know what to do at the command prompt, to put an older version of the config file or whatev [10:02] myxo: ntop will give you historical bandwidth usage reports [10:02] n2diy, I suppose you would have to make each machine listen on the broadcast address, there are better ways of discovering machines than that tho [10:02] Notch-1, cool term btw, I shall use it myself thx... :) [10:03] Elby, did you touch xorg.conf? [10:03] NvidiaUser [10:03] kalmi: i dont think so [10:03] but something else might have [10:03] myxo: but what your asking may not be possible with your network setup.... [10:03] like nvidia-config [10:03] I am going to bed [10:03] mechdave: it would be beautiful to use the "normal" way, anyway :D i don't even have a bash_profile, i have to create it just for do this... [10:03] good night all [10:03] :D [10:03] myxo, with squid you can setup riles to limit bandwidth usage from and/or to ip/hostnames [10:03] rules* [10:03] Elby, what did you do? have you installed the restricted drivers recently? [10:03] ozzmosis: ok, but I "think" all the boxes are listening to the broadcast address, but I have to double check that. [10:04] myxo, but its not easy if you don;t already know how [10:04] i suppose. the last thing i did was, by NvidiaUser's instruction [10:04] to change my driver [10:04] from the 93 version [10:04] Notch-1, that is correct, some reason Jaunty doesn't ship with one [10:04] to the 173 [10:04] or some shit [10:04] Elby: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:04] sorry, i'm on adderall [10:04] i might have to move to a diff parking spot, internet is getting spotty [10:05] Elby, you could remove the restricted drivers for the time being... boot into recovery mode and issue the following command: sudo apt-get remove nvidia-* [10:05] Notch-1, I think the good bit about this is you can hide it away until needed, rather better than having one clutter up the desktop [10:06] how do you boot to recovery mode [10:06] is that just the terminal? [10:06] Elby: from the GRUB menu [10:07] what is the grub menu [10:07] i cant boot to a gui [10:07] just the command prompt [10:07] g0wda: are you back? [10:07] mechdave: yeah it's strange, but there is a list of commands executed every login (settings -> sessions), it just fails executing my command because it contains excapes, i think... with ps aux i can see the command launched and it still contains the not-so-excaped command [10:07] Elby: the very first stage of the boot sequence is where GRUB loads [10:07] Elby: grub is the boot manager.... where it counts down from 3, 2, 1 and boots [10:07] do i hit ESC? [10:07] Elby: usually you can hit Esc [10:07] yes [10:07] and then what [10:08] then a menu comes up [10:08] you'll see [10:08] with recovery mode [10:08] okay [10:08] Notch-1, if you make it into a script and chmod +x on it it should then work through sessions [10:09] hipitihop: Are you online? [10:09] airtonix then it won't be easy for me lol, i am willing to learn anything tho [10:09] airtonix or at least try, perhaps try now, learn later.. [10:10] how do I restart X?

I already have installed suse 11.1 Now I would like to test ubuntu 9.4 I would also like to keep suses bootloader. So I am at the point (during ubuntu instal) where it ask me if install bootloader and which device for its installation. Now I dont know if I click install bootloader and select the device, the device would be partition which I selected for installation. Will this override suses MBR? [11:57] heroin: use interfaces directive in smb.conf [11:57] heroin: http://www.tamos.net/guide/manpages/samba/smb.conf.5.html#sect69 [11:57] frojnd: install it to the root partiton of your new install. [11:58] heroin, if you have the interfaces line commented out (=you do nothing), samba listens on all interfaces... [11:58] aftertaf: so this way wont override suses MBR? I will copy than from ubuntus partition to suses menu.lst ? [11:58] MementoMori: my wlan0 ip is dynamic i think [11:58] Kalmi: you are worng [11:58] If this option is not set then Samba will attempt to find a primary interface, but won't attempt to configure more than one interface. [11:58] Kalmi: let me check my smb conf [11:58] heroin: set it up to be a static interface [11:59] MementoMori: i cant, not my connection, its my neighbours [11:59] MementoMori, I have a VPN setup with samba and people can connect from the normal network and the VPN to samba just fine with interfaces line commented out [11:59] heroin: in addition, there are issues when both interfaces are connected to the same subnet [11:59] Kalmi: interaces = commented out [11:59] heroin: putting a server on an dynamic ip is a non sense [11:59] P4R41: 2 subnets, 192.168.0 and 1 [11:59] I wonder why people use forum topics like http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843012 instead of putting that on the wiki [11:59] i prefer someone who is sure answers you on that frojnd :) [11:59] aftertaf: will I get suse bootloader after reboot if I choose to install ubuntus bootloadere on the partition where / is installed? [12:00] Well someone that knows please answer :) [12:00] MementoMori: its not a server, its my box :D which i want 2 hookup w. my xbox through a crossover [12:00] heroin: if you can get an ip through dhcp you can set it manually [12:00] crossover? lol! look for a switch! [12:00] MementoMori, dynamic ip shouldn't matter... [12:01] I want to know how SCIM works. I want private chat with someone that can help me, the general part is too busy [12:01] MementoMori: i dont have one.. [12:01] . [12:01] mechdave: same exact thing :D with ps aux | grep -i stjerm i still see the command as launched (not excaped the $() parts), just without the "\" [12:01] MementoMori: i dont have a cable w. internet.. just wlan0 from neighboor [12:01] are the apache2 packages in ubuntu exactly the same as the apache2 packages in debian? [12:02] MementoMori, that's too easy :) [12:02] Anyone? On the Dutch Ubuntu Forums, they didn't help me. [12:02] anyway... heroin you have to modify your /etc/smb.conf in particular the interfaces directive.

[12:04] 16gb [12:04] ZHanghe, look in your private dialog. [12:05] MementoMori: as Kalmi said it listens on all interfaces by default? [12:05] heroin: oh... and dont forget about configuring nic 2 nic packets forwarding [12:05] Trentor: maybe you need to add persistence, but i suggest to not do anything, this system is very unstable, it works fine only with read-only cd version :D === mohamed is now known as Guest67256 [12:05] Right now I am using the following tool: http://klik.atekon.de/liveusb/ [12:06] heroin: no it doesnt. read the link i pasted here [12:06] MementoMori, packet forwarding? what? why? [12:06] Here is my forum link with all of my written information: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1167504 [12:06] Notch-1: What do you mean? How do I add persistence to my drive?

[12:07] hi all [12:07] are these lan branches separated? [12:07] MementoMori: i need my xbox to see my smb shares on eth0, my ubuntubox is also connected to wlan0 [12:08] MementoMori: yes 192.168.0 and 1 [12:08] is it posable to boot a cd from grub [12:08] Trentor: but i warn you, i no longer use that, it's simply expoloding... [12:08] my bios dosn't boot cds [12:08] sabgenton_: wow.. [12:08] yeah I know [12:08] MementoMori, the samba server has two nics... and I don't think that he has managed to connect to the samba server an any interface.. [12:08] and you want the xbox to surf the web, dont you? [12:08] See, the thing is, currently my home directory (or a separate partition when I have tried other tools) is perfect, I can make files and they will stay there, I am trying to have the filesystem do that, everytime I try this it makes the filesystem very small (1gb) and I only get around 998mb of free space [12:08] MementoMori, the samba server has two nics... and I don't think that he has managed to connect to the samba server on an any interface.. [12:09] theres slightly more to it that that [12:09] ok it dosn't boot external usb cdroms [12:09] Notch-1: What do you mean? Have you had problems doing this? I want to be able to have ubuntu with the tools I want on a usb flashdrive and take the operating system with me wherever I go [12:09] Trentor: don't know, i hate casper, sorry :D [12:09] sabgenton: no cdrom boot? u on a netbook?

Will that work Kalmi? [12:09] my eeepc works fine that way [12:10] Trentor, yes [12:10] but this is an old tablet pc [12:10] sabgenton: and no usb boot? [12:10] Trentor: there was no way for me, there are a lot of well known unsolved bugs...

[12:26] Trentor: best way for me is to use the hp utility to make the pen bootable, and then launch grub4dos, other ways corrupts my (fat32) filesystem, don't ask why... but if you do the normal install (ext3) the standard grub work just fine, depending on the pen/bios you have... [12:26] Trentor: np...i was doing the same thing yesterday, but instead of a pendrive, on a harddrive that would boot the livecd iso [12:27] Notch-1, actually that's the fault of that certain usb driver... I found the trick for it on launchpad [12:27] Notch-1: Thanks, hehe, if the thumb drive breaks I can just go return it, thanks to microcenter for giving out awful quality usb pen drives with lifetime warranties, lol [12:28] Kalmi: yes that's what i was talking about, what kind of error? [12:28] Trentor: just remember the computers you'll be using the pendrive on better be able to boot from usb [12:28] Trentor: hehe is a multiple fault (bios/pendrive/os), the ones that got never punished :D [12:29] hi [12:29] !hi [12:29] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [12:29] P4: Yeah, PXE won't cut it will it? [12:29] Nvm that, it wont, lol [12:30] Trentor: you can always have a livecd with you that will boot the pendrive :) [12:30] lol [12:30] please help me with anyremote [12:31] When I re-log-in from hibernated screensaver, I have to enter my old password for the keyring to get the wlan to work. This only happened after I changed my account password from root. So- how do I reset the wlan keychain password? [12:33] ok new problem: how to execute a command every kernel update? like m-a for some previously builded modules (i'm with a loop-aes root filesystem, so i need the modules or i can't boot!) [12:34] Hello. I have two computers with their own internet IP address, both running ubuntu. Is there a way to make a program on a spesific port go through the other computer? I can set the other computer to port forward and set all incoming traffic on the specific port to route to the given destination, but how can I force all outgoing traffic on the given port to go to the other computer instead? Thanks [12:34] every kernel update i have to re-run m-a a-i loop-aes AND update-initramfs -ua, or i can't boot anymore... [12:34] Notch-1: shouldn't you be able to load aes and cryptoloop without having to execute anything special? [12:35] jrib: not after a kernel upgrade :D [12:35] Notch-1, hdd releated soft lockups [12:35] Notch-1: is there a different module you need to load? [12:37] jrib: different from what? i need to load the loop.ko builded with m-a off course, but i don't have the one for the new installed kernel until i re-run m-a.. so at boot time it just can't find it [12:38] Notch-1: different from the two modules I mentioned: aes and cryptoloop [12:38] the recommendation: get Andoird-Sans and install it as the default system font, its dead sexy [12:38] Kalmi: never saw that one, sorry [12:39] jrib: ah nono, i just need the loop-aes one [12:39] i'm using wubi with ubuntu intrepid. but when i try to install it, it hang at system paritioning, formating some swap partition. I tried redl the iso, defrag my drive, defrag swap.disk, chk for errors with my drive, but it doesnt help. what can i do? [12:40] Notch-1: well my point is you shouldn't need to use m-a for neither aes nor cryptolop [12:40] loop even [12:41] Zhane: hangs how? takes a long time to do nothing? gives an error? [12:41] the strange thing is that loop-aes already have some hook scripts for keeping the system working after updates, but m-a don't so i don't have the module itself... [12:41] Notch-1, this might be a job for later... concentration is suffering right now :( [12:41] P4R41: takes a long time to do nothing [12:41] http://neshu1909.mybrute.com beat my brute [12:41] jrib: no, it must be installed, there is a package with the sources that has to be builded [12:41] Zhane: how large is the drive? [12:42] P4R41: i tried to make 8gb ones, the swap was ard 1gb..and im using ntfs for that drive [12:42] fat0ss: sec [12:42] you're using ntfs for the swap? [12:42] mechdave: no problem, thank you anyway for trying so much, i apprecieted [12:42] Notch-1, it works fine if I unplug and plug it back in at the right moment... a found a nice bug (with lots of comment) for it on launchpad... the usb driver is buggy and reinitializes the usb devices at some point... [12:42] P4R41: the drive where the swap is held is ntfs [12:43] how is the drive partitioned? [12:43] Been told to reinstall chain-tools, but no idea what they are. Help? [12:43] P4R41: dunno? wubi did it for me [12:43] fat0ss: done http://orangeswarm.mybrute.com/fight/?d=neshu1909;k=29e47b337d7e [12:43] Saouka, A chain tool is a small mechanical device used to "break" a bicycle chain in such a way that it can be mended with the same tool. [12:43] then it didn't really partition it. is it a dual system? [12:43] dual boot system* [12:43] Saouka, sorry... I have no idea how to reinstall it. [12:43] P4R41: ya.. [12:43] Notch-1, no worries, to do it anyway you could make it into an executable script and stick it in /usr/local/bin and then point to it with session programs [12:44] Kalmi: Thanks for the witticism, atleast I know the messages are being sent atleast. >.< [12:44] you have windows on one parition, correct? [12:44] can i copy my home folder including config files from 8.04 to 9.04? [12:44] chetnick: sure [12:44] P4R41: my main is windows, and i run wubi on it to install ubuntu [12:45] jrib: i wont have any compatibility issues? === Dragonslicer is now known as Dragnslcr [12:45] Anyone know what chain-tools are? [12:45] Saouka, what gave you that message? [12:45] chetnick: only if you use braindead apps [12:46] Zhane: i'd suggest booting from the live cd and installing onto the partition windows isn't on [12:46] Kalmi: yes, too many bugs in those drivers... [12:46] P4R41: hmm.. windows on C, wubi on D [12:46] i can still use wubi when booting from live cd? [12:46] Kalmi: I was trying to install gcc, and got the error: "failed to run configure", so I googled it, and that was the instruction. [12:46] Zhane: from what i learned, wubi doesn't really install ubuntu, it just throws it on top of the windows install [12:46] mechdave: i know, i was looking for a cleaner way... it's just a command so i don't like to make a script for it... i'll keep trying.. [12:47] Hi all, [12:47] is there any way to get 3D acceleration working on 9.04 with older cards (ati radeon 9800pro)? [12:47] uninstall wubi, boot from the livecd and install to the other partition [12:48] anyone know if there is swedish language pack to get to puppy linux? [12:48] Notch-1, I tried it on 4 different types of machines so far... on 3 it worked without any issues. For the fourth one I found that workaround. [12:48] Saouka, how were you trying to install gcc? [12:49] Kalmi: then you can consider yourself lucky :D [12:50] Kalmi: same usb hd? [12:50] Notch-1, :) [12:50] Notch-1, yes [12:50] Kalmi: don't change it :D [12:50] Notch-1, it's a shiny one... people think it has touchscreen... [12:51] Kalmi: beautiful, one more reason not to change it :DD [12:52] (unless you found one with touchscreen :P) [12:52] hi, i'm after a bit of help with an ubuntu/vista dual boot - i installed vista clean then shrink'd the disk and have just run through the ubuntu install (installing grub onto the same partition as ubuntu) - now I have an ubuntu desktop screen with an install icon on it and i'm not sure if it has been installed of if i'm running off the cd - any ideas? [12:53] Notch-1, http://prohardver.hu/dl/cnt/2009-01/2746/pic/s1_09b.jpg [12:53] Kalmi: Nevermind, I'm installing from a binary now, found the problem. [12:53] AlexStacey: take out the cd and boot ... [12:54] so, guys, any way to execute a command after kernel updates? there are already some commands, just point me to them please.... [12:54] Saouka, why were you trying to compile gcc? [12:54] Saouka, :S [12:54] Is there any way to get 3D acceleration working on 9.04 with older cards (ati radeon 9800pro)? [12:54] Batte: doing that now... === Mez is now known as Lethargy [12:55] Kalmi: cute, but i also hate samsung :P they disbelieve their products after they sell them to you [12:55] disbelieve?

[13:00] ozzmosis: yeah, but with them is a constant [13:00] Batte, is there anything available at System > Administration > Hardware Drivers ? [13:01] Kalmi: no, there was the same official version all over any site i've been looking to, but there was some bad bugs... [13:01] elky: no nothing there === Lethargy is now known as Mez === Mez is now known as Lethargy [13:03] . [13:03] elky: there are drivers installed but they are not so great, amd has moved the agp card to the legacy pack, wich means they gave up support.

[13:14] yes but i am using XP reight now [13:14] P4R41: on karmic already?? [13:14] wow [13:14] nitesh: youve not told the channel much facts.. like how you are networked.. but a simple test is to see ifyou can 'ping google.com' or 'ping 74.125.45.100' - If the # ping works.. then its a sign your dns servers are set wrong. If neither work.. well you got deeper config problems [13:14] nitesh: ok...there is no way to test unless you can get the linux box on the network while you are here in irc [13:14] aftertaf: i installed the alpha just now, had issues with intel drivers with jaunty [13:15] aftertaf: did not expect such massive performance increases [13:15] nice:) [13:15] due to what? kernel? intel? [13:15] nitesh: Are you sure that you haven't set an incorrect DNS/default gateway in your Ubuntu setup or got the wrong password? [13:15] my guess would be intel drivers [13:15] Hello there. I have 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility X1400 card. And I'd like to see if I use restricted drivers or opensource drivers. Looking at /etc/X11/xorg.conf doesn't give me any perspective: http://pastebin.com/m74c1c9d How can I install dirverese that supports 3d and also video output? [13:15] nitesh: Can you ping others in yout network? [13:15] I've just install ubuntu.. [13:16] Tarthen: i dont get any login page [13:16] nitesh: does your wireless router use dhcp? [13:16] nitesh: Login Page? [13:16] niten: or do you need to set a static IP? What did you do in XP? [13:16] hi, can you tell me where is the directory in which is saved my transmission configurations? just because i want to backup older configurations but i don't see any .transmission directory on my user directory [13:16] frojnd: you can grep modules /var/log/Xorg.0.log [13:17] frojnd: good luck, i know 4 people with that card serise, no-one can get it working [13:17] aftertaf: yes i use static ip [13:17] paulo39: use dpkg -L transmission [13:17] nitesh: Static [13:17] aftertaf: my boot time just dropped below 20 sec with ext4, and i still have yet to profile grub [13:17] frojnd: to see what modules x is using.. one of those lines it gives will be the X driver module. [13:17] aftertaf: i am part of a WAN [13:17] not bad for a 6 yo computer [13:17] niten: did u configure static ip on ubuntu? [13:17] P4R41: Niiiice. [13:17] yo pals, can anyone pls tell me the name of the small app which allows a newbie user to easily install an ATI driver? [13:17] P4R41: i guess you installed and reformatted partiiton? [13:17] i forgot it ;( [13:18] jjjjzkf: Synaptic can install ATI drivers, can't it? [13:18] nope. just a direct update from jaunty [13:18] Tarthen: when i connect to the network and open any page then i get a login page in which i give my usrname and pass [13:18] speedhawk: i get an error with GtkWarning: could not open display. btw, i don't have X yet. [13:18] jjjjzkf: ati drivers are a bit... annoying at this times.. many cards that used to use the fglrx driver now seems to use teh GPL driver.. [13:18] nitesh: Hmm. You behind a gateway? [13:19] thank you all [13:19] jjjjzkf: system -> admin -> hardware drivers [13:19] P4R41: so how did u get ext4 already? [13:19] Dr_Willis: can you be a little bit more specific it has 100lines and If I search for x module I don't find anything [13:19] Tarthen: yes and i dont get that page in ubuntu [13:19] installed jaunty that way? [13:19] my theory is that the alpha 1 can't have that major changes from jaunty, the biggest was the intel improvements which somehow didn't make it into jaunty. because its not changed as much it can't be as unstable [13:19] frojnd: thats why i gave that grep command.. it trims it down to about 10 lines. === Co_27_Ehem is now known as ciuman [13:19] aftertaf: yeh i used the alternate disk installer [13:20] nitesh: How are you connected? PCCard, Ethernet/Wifi or USB modem? [13:20] ah ok.... ;) [13:20] frojnd: the one this card is using has '/modules/drivers//XXXXXX.so' saying the driver this card is using. [13:20] Tarthen: wi-fi [13:20] Dr_Willis: oh | grep modules :) [13:20] hello. What does "purge" mean, as in apt-get "purge" whateverpackage? Documentation keeps talking about it as if we already know the difference between "purge" and "remove". [13:21] purge removes left over configuration files [13:21] hi [13:21] moo [13:21] nitesh: On XP do you use Zeroconf or a 3rd party app (LELA, ect) [13:21] aftertaf: What do you mean? "remove" does not remove configuration files? What does it remove, then? [13:21] Dr_Willis: I guess I use radeon drivers: (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//radeon_drv.so [13:21] frojnd: looks like pure WIN to me. :) [13:21] Hey. My new Ubuntu 9.04 CD arrived today. [13:21] Tarthen: pls be clear..........i am a newbie [13:21] Going to reinstall over my existing installtion [13:21] Hi everyone, I would need to hide my IP for a short while, maybe a week or so....could someone please help me !! [13:22] nevermore: ok [13:22] but keep my /home dir (on sep partition) [13:22] MCmurray: Unplug your internet [13:22] nevermore: enjoy. but hope you don't have intel video card :) [13:22] Dr_Willis: depends... how can I check what version of radeon? maybe there is never version on the net... [13:22] ... [13:22] whoa thanks [13:22] I do have an intel video card. [13:22] MCmurray: yep you can't hide your ip address 100% [13:22] im running into probs with NFS and permisions.... is there a like login server that will manage all this for me.... so that the UIDś and GIDś are the same for all computers? [13:22] what's the problem? [13:22] MCmurray: Depends if you have a Dynamic or static [13:22] frojnd: thats the GPL/OSS driver.. to upgrade to a newer version.. you wouldbasicially have to upgrade/update your X.. i think [13:22] do I get a new Ip evertime I connect again? [13:22] MCmurray: Dynamic, you will [13:23] How do I find out [13:23] do i need X to upgrade version? i get error on 'update-manager -d' [13:23] MCmurray: Usually in Aus or such your dynamic [13:23] aftertaf: No answer? Okay, I will try purging and hope everything works out. [13:23] MCmurray: Ask your ISP [13:23] MCmurray: Usually you would be [13:23] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [13:23] Dr_Willis: can you suggest me a good wiki, howto? [13:23] Ok thanks [13:23] nevermore: could be nothing, could be performance issues [13:23] yes MCmurray your isp will renew the ip after reconnecting [13:23] right. [13:23] MCmurray: Why do you need to hide> [13:23] anything major? Like, non-3d and intensive stuff, will that be okay? [13:23] nevermore: i don't think 965 are affected, i think it was the 8xx that was the problem [13:24] frojnd: nope.. I imagine you wont gain much by learning to 'upgrade to the latest X' because 9.04 was just released so it has a very very new X anyway. [13:24] frojnd: tell the channel the actual PROBLEM you are having with your video card? [13:24] thanks. [13:24] owen1: you can use apt-get and do it yourself, if you know what youre doing [13:24] have made list of my installed packages and repos. [13:24] so really I think there's nothing else. [13:24] aftertaf: sure. what should i do? change list.sources? [13:25] One more thing though. I wrote, orignally it was a joke, some things about a school in a blog, How can I make sure nobody finds out about it [13:25] its enough just unpluggin the internet? [13:25] hiding your ip wont help [13:25] Dr_Willis: when I run glxgears and I maximize em, I get about 100fps that's relativelly ok for my card, but there is flickering... [13:25] please help me with anyremote [13:25] so, unless anyone has any suggestions/warnings [13:25] Dr_Willis: I'm assuming this would be also if I watch movies... [13:25] MCmurray: If you added your name, your screwed [13:25] I'll 9.04 this beast [13:25] MCmurray: But if it was anonymous [13:25] Dr_Willis: haven't tested video output but I'm going to now.. [13:26] hehe im not that braindamaged [13:26] frojnd: be glad your card works.. try a movie and see.. :) [13:26] MCmurray: You should be okay [13:26] =) [13:26] Dr_Willis: on it :=) [13:26] frojnd: 3d and watching movies are not the same thing. :) [13:26] the only thing that shows is my fakename and my IP [13:26] Ok? [13:26] Dr_Willis: oh I know that :) [13:26] owen1: yes, for one.... and run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [13:26] MCmurray: Your untracable [13:26] hehe thabnks [13:26] MCmurray: As far as your IP [13:26] bye you guys [13:26] bye [13:26] MCmurray: why do you want to hide your IP? [13:27] lol [13:27] aftertaf: works. thank you! [13:27] that ip stuff was off topic, well he is gone now [13:27] lol [13:27] owen1: thank me once all done ;) [13:27] Tarthen: not quite...the isp will have records associating the ip to him [13:27] I reboot the computer. I do netstat | grep orbit | wc -l and get 106! All refer to /tmp/orbit/jthing/link -XXX-X-XXXXXXXXXXXXX where X are digits. ps .aux | grep orbot comes up empty. the tmp file however do exist. What is this? [13:27] th0r: But I assume the only way to get that would be a court order, right? [13:28] right [13:28] aftertaf: i need to upgrade twice. from 8.04 to 8.10 to 9.04... [13:28] and they wouldnt cause of a blog entry =) [13:28] Tarthen: depends on the country, and other things. [13:28] owen1: really dont know. [13:28] depends on breakage [13:28] owen1: why upgrade from hardy? it runs great :) [13:28] Okay [13:29] jefinc: i love shiny things.. [13:29] I have a 8.04 VM running, someone give me something awesome to do with it [13:29] take over the world [13:29] Tarthen: migrate it to mdadm raid 5 [13:29] woops I open it with movie player but it suggest me codecs for the movie. Is it better to install it that way or manually? [13:29] I open a movie with a movie player.. [13:29] build up a honeypot :) [13:29] Tarthen: install KDE3 [13:29] Tarthen: and 4 [13:30] Tarthen: and Xubuntu [13:30] sebsebseb: Nah, KDE looks horribe [13:30] frojnd: either way is fine, they are both through the same repositories [13:30] sebsebseb: Horrible* [13:30] frojnd: i hate movieplayer.

[13:31] hey guys, since upgrading to 9.04 my samba won't let me set foce user=root on a share, it makes it ask for a user/pass, removing that one line stops it asking for credentials [13:31] Tarthen: ,but at least most of the apps have KDE4 versions that are better than KDE3, and those same apps most of them will run in Gnome :) [13:31] I was thinking of a Squid proxy, but Squid is annoying on Ubuntu. I'm DLing a CentOS 5.2 for that [13:31] Tarthen: also you made it sound like you have Windows as a host, yuck [13:31] anyone got any idea why it's starting doing this? It's happened on two ubuntu 8.10 => 9.04 upgrades [13:31] sebsebseb: I do. [13:31] sebsebseb: XP as a host [13:31] Tarthen: really it should be Windows in a virtual machine :) [13:31] question: I'm currently using Ubuntu 8.04 and I'd like to use TexLive Manager but I cannot find it installed (event if I've already installed TexLive) [13:31] Tarthen: or no Windows at all :d [13:32] anyone here using Tex Live?

[13:33] Tarthen: yes EA one of the biggest games companies, with a lot of money, but yet no Linux versions [13:33] Tarthen: it's not like they don't have money to pay developers to make for Linux [13:33] sebsebseb: No, I'm a VB.NET developer xDD [13:33] sebsebseb: C&C... think Warzone2100 [13:33] Tarthen: VB.NET developer oh no!

[13:34] sebsebseb: But I've got two Ubuntu boxes installed there xD [13:34] sebsebseb: Getting my IT overlord into FOSS [13:34] sources.list : change distribution name [13:34] I perfer 'FreeCol' for my gaming fun. [13:34] Tarthen: heh what an excuse :d maybe try and get a more Linux friendly job :) ,but I don't really care what job you have as such [13:35] Tarthen: I think VB.net would even work in a vm :D [13:35] sebsebseb: We are Linux friendly - I have a Nagios box set up, we have Xen running 4 servers, one of which is CentOS, which I'm making into a Squid proxy [13:35] sebsebseb: We're locked into Windows thanks to the fact that we're a government institution [13:35] any half-life/HL2 clones availible for Ubuntu? [13:36] Tarthen: for which countrey? [13:36] sebsebseb: We use a document tracking program that's made in VB6. It's buggy as all hell [13:36] gartral: maybe some where [13:36] sebsebseb: Australia.

[16:19] heogen: well not exactly sure about that kind of stuff, but I know for example there's a Windows Media Centre alternative for Linux [16:19] anyone know of a good guide to setup a 9.04box on LDAP for login? [16:19] is there some netstat magic I can use to find out what ip address a piece of softwarre is trying to phone home to? (and eventually prevent it) [16:19] LjL: I have about 500mb of space but it show 100% [16:19] i can do it, in windows , because a have the driver [16:19] kevix: "df" says that? [16:20] kevix: a % of drive space is reserved. Thats tuneable with the 'tune2fs' command. [16:20] of this video card, but is only for windows [16:20] not for linux [16:20] Dr_Willis: but i don't think that would show up as free space in df [16:20] heogen: learn to use autocomplete :) [16:20] and the Prosavage s3 is very old [16:20] heogen: it looks so newbie when people put in the with the < and > [16:20] does anyone know the sudo apt-get install line for getting the most recent java packages?

[16:23] sebsebseb, Yeah, but that's what I get with Rhythmbox, and when importing huge volumes of stuff over wireless, that quickly gets annoying after each DC...

I use MPlayer since it already has all the codecs (I also use SMPlayer front end) [16:24] sorry [16:24] kevix, the fact that /tmp went to the overflow fs simply means that *your disk is full*. nothing more nothing less [16:24] anyone know how to fix a 'device' mounted as 'overflow'? [16:24] kevix: so, free up some darn space, using the command i gave you [16:24] LjL: its not a real symptom. its caused by something else [16:24] sudo apt-get clean [16:25] LadyNikon: and uh :) [16:25] kevix: no it's not, "df" is saying that *your root drive is full*!

[16:47] movie player [16:47] Woofsie: normally by using some of the many 'samba' tools out.. in the gnome file manager. i normally enter the full path to the server/share.. ie: smb://fileserver/sharename [16:47] Baen hmmm what video card? [16:47] no website not [16:48] radeon 2600 something. [16:48] in my laptop [16:48] Why? I just want to, know how? [16:48] heogen: which movie player have you tried to play them in? [16:48] in the website I dont have problem [16:48] robdig: this is the script run for my pwrbtton event: http://paste.ubuntu.com/178867/ [16:48] m0r0n: well like normal then, crate in partition editor on live cd [16:48] m0r0n: or in an install if you got unallocated space [16:48] sebseseb Mayo 2009.Noche en el museo 2.avi [16:49] Dr_Willis: well the problem is the windows network shows up, but when I enter it appears empty. will samba fix this? [16:49] TheBrayn: layman does not know what a container and what are codec | ? [16:49] Baen hmm I was never able to get 3d effects working on my ati radeon x1600 in 9.04 so i just gave up [16:49] hi [16:49] !avi | heogen [16:49] heogen: 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 [16:49] robdig: is there a way to kill it totally?

BBL [16:49] Burowski: Im just guessing here but isnt 1600 older? I don't think the new drivers support them any more [16:50] I have Local Disk L: in My Computer [16:50] ok. thank you [16:50] But it is asking for it to format before use [16:50] ubottu thank you [16:50] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [16:50] Heooo: cron is not malware, it is the system scheduler [16:50] sebsebseb thank you [16:50] let me see it [16:50] L became the readable drive for ubuntu [16:50] * VanessaE grumbles.. scanners have existed in Linux for how many years and it's still a pain to set them up. Why? [16:50] Dr_Willis: thanks, i'll try both [16:50] robdig: it works just i cant get doit to mount the drive as "user" only root. Since the powerbutton is run as root it automatically does all those commands as sudo. Meaning mount/sdb1 is owned by root [16:50] Baen yep, even though it's still a decent card :( check ATI's site to make sure your card isn't on legacy support [16:50] I updated from 8.10 to 9.04, but in grub it doesn't appear an entry for 9.04, only the old 8.04 with the old kernel. I used update-grub but nothing happened...suggestions? [16:50] so is there an easy way to see whether bluetooth is on or off? in OS X, the menu bar icon was either solid black if on or greyed out if off. anything similar in ubuntu? [16:51] anyone got the realtek HD audio drivers working ? [16:51] VanessaE: i found my scanners easier to use in Linux then windows.. I dident have do download a 175mb+ driver.exe for linux.. like i do in windows.. [16:51] VanessaE: ,because of hardware manufactures that do not support Linux properly or at all [16:51] shiznebit: got it, looking [16:51] Heooo: in general, you should try to find out what things are before killing them for no reason [16:51] legacy support? [16:51] Dr_Willis, good point [16:52] Baen yes, companies sometimes move hardware to legacy support, which means they no longer release new features for it in drivers [16:52] help with anyremote [16:52] but, as someone who has used Linux for over a decade.... [16:52] not able to enable visual effects...i have intel extreme graphics 2 3D...i tried all solutions in release notes...tried booting off of 8.04, same result. i have not reverted to old driver, don't think that is the answer because of bootin 8.04. is there a work around? Intel is a very, very common card. Any help appreciated. :) [16:52] VanessaE: :) of course now in Vista.. i dont need the drivers.. and cant install them (wont let me) so i lose 1/2 the features of the scanner special buttons/.stuff [16:52] VanessaE: :( [16:52] I'm pretty sure mine is supported. If i had some patience i might have gotten it to work well with wow as well, i just couldn't be bothered. [16:53] sebsebseb, fair enough, but when we're talking about stuff that *is* supported, that's where I get upset. [16:53] Baen I'd search around to see if your card is mentioned on any of these http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=com.ubuntu%3Aen-US%3Aunofficial&hs=zrt&q=ati+legacy+cards&btnG=Search [16:53] shiznebit: looks like it depends on the filesystem type that you are mounting, but looks like many filesystem types support and option uid= and gid=, maybe putting these options on your mount command will do what you want [16:54] So what should I do, I want to read/write onto my Linux drive from my windows drive (I have 2 HDD's btw) [16:54] burvowski I dunno. Like I said, the drivers that came with 9.04 have worked fine for a few months now, I dunno why it suddenly went wonky on me. I thought I removed the catalyst 9.5 completely, but maybe I didn't. :/ [16:54] Baen that's probably it. recovery mode is your best bet [16:54] robdig: ok, not to sure what all of that means but ill look into it [16:54] Baen you can reconfigure xorg from there [16:55] burvowski I'll give that a shot. [16:55] help with anyremote [16:55] alrightm who wants to help..my network stopped working no jaunty and live cd, check windows and it works, cant ping machine or from machine with static ip, and it looks like it is not getting dhcp, any takers? [16:55] please [16:56] would ms office 2007 run in a virtual box? [16:56] all that keeps me from using ubuntu is office, need for work [16:57] i mean, only ubuntu [16:57] VanessaE: sadly some hardware that is supported, still needs to be configured [16:57] madbuntu if you install windows in it sure [16:57] So what should I do, I want to read/write onto my Linux drive from my windows drive (I have 2 HDD's btw) [16:57] I updated from 8.10 to 9.04, but in grub it doesn't appear an entry for 9.04, only the old 8.04 with the old kernel. I used update-grub but nothing happened...suggestions? [16:57] i guess i should try and find out hehe [16:57] openoffice is compatible with most office stuff afaik though [16:57] alan_simmonds: have you tried looking at this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [16:57] sebsebseb, well, in my case, the scanner already works on the host it is connected to. [16:57] Hey guys how can I view hidden files in ubuntu if possible? my ext2 partition of my sdcard says theres 30mb taken but its empty [16:57] i am in need of SiS 661/771 display divers for my ubuntu hardy. im having just 800X600 resolution now. can anyone please help me finding it? [16:57] madbuntu: sure, 99.99% of windows programs run on Virtual Machines (not counting games and 3D apps!) [16:57] i am in need of SiS 661/771 display divers for my ubuntu hardy. im having just 800X600 resolution now. can anyone please help me finding it? [16:58] I just can't get network/sharing to work. [16:58] VanessaE: the host? [16:58] I'm installing ALSA Utils and got this error >> make[2]: *** [alsactl_init.7] Error 127 [16:58] the host...er, I should say, the computer it is plugged into [16:58] i.e. the machine being used as the server [16:58] also this one /bin/bash: xmlto: command not found [16:58] robdig im not using wirless [16:59] Does no one know anything about what I am talking about or is everyone ignorning? [16:59] hi [16:59] alan_simmonds: ah. can you pastebin the output of ifconfig? [16:59] how can I view hidden files in ubuntu if possible? my ext2 partition of my sdcard says theres 30mb taken but its empty [16:59] !pastebin | alan_simmonds [16:59] alan_simmonds: 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) [16:59] It works fine - xsane finds the scanner and lets me scan without issue. [17:00] tanner2007_Linux: ls -l will show you hidden files too [17:00] i cant right now...but i will soon [17:00] the other computer, which I've been calling the client, can't access it, despite my having followed the instructions in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ScanningHowTo precisely. [17:00] tanner2007_Linux: ls -la will show you hidden files too [17:00] I have a dial up modem for my desktop. I only have dial-up internet available to me... (At this location, not me personally). I used lspci to verify the card was detected properly and of course it was. I setup the ppp client. After trying to connect, the system told me that it couldn't find any devices. Anyone know how to figure out what's going on? I'm not around the system and will need to call to get details, so details for fig [17:00] ok let me try [17:00] \\im getting a blank screen after the progress bar on startup. this is a fresh ubuntu 9.04 install from the alternate cd. had the same issue using the desktop live cd too. this is my pastebin for /var/log/xorg.0.log, http://paste.ubuntu.com/178784/ . its probably a misconfiguration with xorg? i don't know how to correct this.. (im absolutely new to linux) [17:00] m0r0n-> look here: http://www.fs-driver.org/ [17:01] I tired that [17:01] But when I do so, it comes up at drive L [17:01] VanessaE: one of your computers is Windows? [17:02] Which is fine, but it's not readable [17:02] It asks me if I want to format it so I can use it [17:02] tanner2007_Linux: who/what has said 30M is taken? [17:02] i am in need of SiS 661/771 display divers for my ubuntu hardy. im having just 800X600 resolution now. can anyone please help me finding it? [17:02] ohir my ext2 partition on my sdcard [17:02] sebsebseb, no. Exclusively linux (both running Jaunty) [17:02] anyone ever done a cd remaster with a recompiled kernel? [17:02] i open it and shows its empty but properties shows space taken [17:03] tanner2007_Linux: how your partition said? [17:03] tanner2007_Linux: df said, du said? [17:03] VanessaE: I can't really help, and no one else here right now that can either it seems, where could you go for help hum. the general ##linux channel maybe, ##hardware maybe even. you could do a forum post on ubuntuforms.org also [17:03] tanner2007_Linux, most filesystems take a little bit of space by themselves, even when they're otherwise empty. Is that possibly what you're seeing? [17:04] could be [17:04] anyone knows what the matrix thingy on this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ti4-ZIiPFY :D [17:04] I not sure thats why I wanna find out [17:04] im still learning about this type of OS [17:04] tanner2007_Linux, how much unaccounted-for space are we talking about? [17:04] tanner2007_Linux: ok well hardly anyone uses Ext2 anymore, because they use Ext3 instead [17:04] tanner2007_Linux: how do you know there is 30M less? [17:04] tanner2007_Linux: or Ext4 or some other file system [17:05] oh, there it is. [17:05] m0r0n-> if you only need read and write that program will do it for you. if you wish to execute programs in linux from windowns you will have to install a virtual drive in windows and install ubuntu in that or use Wubi [17:05] VanessaE: there what is? [17:05] sebsebseb, referring to tanner2007_Linux's problem. [17:06] quibbler and m0r0n Wubi can go rather bad [17:06] sebsebseb: its a sdcard. Ext2 is fine and windoze can read it (TC+ex2 plugin) === mathdiver__ is now known as Ab3L [17:06] Total Space:379.4 (should be around 400 :S) 85.9 Mb Used up (but shows its empty) free space left 293.5 (I want everything I can Deleted) and it is ext2 [17:07] sebastien-> i know but i haven't an idea what exactly he wants...just a suggestion from me [17:07] I just want to transfer my music to the linux drive [17:07] tanner2007_Linux, the easiest way to clean it out might be to just re-format it in this case. [17:07] Then be able to read it from windows [17:07] Mainly what I'm looking for [17:08] m0r0n: that makes sense put the data on the Linux drive, but first you need to move it over [17:08] tanner2007_Linux: have you unmounted it and mounted again after mass delete? [17:08] m0r0n-> then use this: http://www.fs-driver.org/ [17:08] I tried man [17:08] ohir no but i guess i might as well just format it huh lol thanks guys [17:08] m0ron and I was going to suggest the site quibbler just gave you [17:08] When I click on the drive [17:08] In My Computer [17:08] It says... [17:08] hi [17:08] tanner2007_Linux: if it can be fresh do new fs on it [17:09] You need to format the disk before you use it. Do you want to format now? [17:09] m0r0n-> don't use enter as puncuation [17:09] anyone figure out how to get the latest Phun working? [17:09] gartal - yeah [17:09] gartal -- you need to install a few libraries in advance, it's on their FAQ [17:09] do so and it runs fine [17:10] hi all! i have just upgraded to jaunty, now vlc player always opens in two windows how do i get rid of this?

[17:11] Ultraputz: im sorry i dont know what you mean, im guessing you are wondering the iso name? [17:11] I see a bunch of hits but no solutions when I google it so it must be a pretty common problem [17:11] jesse-: tons...

[17:12] yeah, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the package, haven't had to reboot yet [17:12] jesse-: well that one is at least a little more stable but obviously not much... espeacially causing troubles in connection with pulseaudio... [17:13] Hi, i have a question about rhythmbox [17:14] * VanessaE grumbles loudly [17:14] why do I have to run saned as ROOT on the server just to make this work? [17:14] stupid stupid stupid! === petrolman is now known as m0r0n [17:14] Henk1: don't ask to ask a question, simpalley just ask the question [17:15] Henk1: don't tell us that you have a question, just ask the question [17:15] My rhythmbox doesent know the song lenght [17:15] Henk1: oh well, Rythombox isn't that good anyway [17:15] Henk1: Banshee for example knows song lengths :) [17:15] i think it is, i use it for my ipod so [17:15] Henk1 -- is this on all songs, or just one? [17:16] All songs [17:16] banshee also uses like 4x as much overhead as RB [17:16] RB is better than Banshee! Banshee is better than RB! [17:16] Not on all songs but most of them. [17:16] bla bla bla they are both rubbish [17:16] Henk1: I used to use Rythombox when Banshee sucked in Ubuntu 8.04 and such, but then as of 8.10 Banshee has a great version [17:16] alex-weej, :-) [17:16] you have a suggestion? [17:16] somehow in all player the controls show in a seperate windows from the playback how can i fix this? (just upgraded to jaunty) [17:17] remoteCTRL: in Rhythmbox and Totem? [17:17] alex-weej: VLC AND MPLAYER [17:17] oops [17:17] Any one knows a solution for my problem ? :) [17:17] remoteCTRL: MPlayer is supposed to show video in a separate window, VLC has options for it. [17:17] Hi, can someone help me to find something similar to windows' device manager in jaunty? [17:17] Sutekj: install gnome-device-manager [17:18] Ok [17:18] alex-weej: that mplayer is supposed to do that is news to me and the settings in vlc are ineffective, it simply ignores it [17:18] remoteCTRL: not sure. does it work in Totem? [17:18] not tryed yet, sec pls [17:18] I haven't used banshee..but I have to agree that rhythmbox kind of sucks [17:18] Can i use grep to randomly choose one match? [17:18] g0wda: use python :P [17:19] anyone know anything about font corruption problems various variants of options with fc-cache won't fix? [17:19] er font cache maybe? [17:19] alex-weej: totem does it correctly but that is not precisely a solution... [17:19] Ultraputz: reported a bug? [17:19] remoteCTRL: ok, file a support request for VLC [17:19] alex-weej, i'm not sure what kind of problem i'm looking at yet [17:19] btw my sound playback makes phunny dagga dagga dagga sounds in the background... === Les is now known as Guest82520 [17:20] Ultraputz: if you don't know what you're doing, you'll save yourself some time to talk to developers via a bug report [17:20] alex-weej: ... thanks...

[17:20] alex-weej, symptoms are: some fonts don't show up, but invisible blocks remains selectable as if the type was there. same fonts worked fine previously. [17:20] remoteCTRL: try uninstalling pulseaudio and see if it still does it [17:20] i've tried using variants of fc-cache to rebuild the font cache... but that has not fixed it. [17:20] Drknezz: aggree [17:20] alex-weej, if i try to copy something from nautilus in that way, it won't work, i mean, paths [17:20] alex-weej: will do somehow that crap is way too buggy anyways [17:20] Drknezz: what keyboard layouts are you using? [17:21] alex-weej, latin-american [17:21] Drknezz: just one layout active? [17:21] remotectrl: re: flash in linux, have you tried the flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound package?

[17:22] hi [17:22] Most of them he knows 100 but he doesent know 6000 songs [17:22] Henk1: Does Songbird/XBMC/VLC detect them correctly? [17:22] anyone figure out how to get the latest Phun working? it says i need libpng.so.3 [17:22] does "multiply-claimed blocks" in several inodes implicate a broken disk?

[17:26] First [17:26] jndeed [17:26] can i update my kernel from 8.04 to 9.04? [17:26] <[ToT]ALiP> Does someone in here know why the output through "vga" is bugged ? screen : http://img40.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc00534s.jpg [17:26] j/i [17:26] !ask | pilif12p [17:26] pilif12p: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [17:26] can i update my kernel from 8.04 to 9.04? [17:26] pilif12p: That is Ubuntu's version, not the kernel version. [17:26] pilif12p, that's not only a kernel update [17:26] : type in the terminal: sudo update-manager [17:27] : then update to 8.10 [17:27] okay [17:27] pilif12p: The kernel version is 2.6.x.x or something' [17:27] : after that, from 8.10 upgrade to 9.04 [17:27] if this matters, im using the Dell Mini OS [17:27] pilif12p: Dell Mini OS? As in, the netbook? [17:27] a broader question: ubuntu doesn't like speedstepping my centrino duo, is that a yet-to-happen with linux or just a failure of its autoconfig stuff? [17:27] Hello there. I am looking at the city code of Richmond: Richmond VA USA code, and I'm trying to figure it out what would be the tocde for Europenian country Slveonia, city Ljubljana... Any ideas where could I get code for my city? [17:28] Tarthen: Yes [17:28] how can i install the drivers for my webcam? i run ubuntu 9.04 [17:28] gms3gr, chances are the driver is already installed [17:28] pilif12p: In my personal opinion, download Ubuntu 9.04 netbook edition (if compatible) and blow away that Dell copy [17:28] Oh [17:28] where do i get that? [17:28] does anyone know how I can edit ubuntu 9.04 to allow large block devices?

Enough to know what trouble it is === thefake is now known as Lord-FaKe [18:07] Dr_Willis: I figured that since it was closer in spec to a netbook than "modern" laptop UNR would be worth a shot [18:07] Tarthen: i'd say thats ridiculous... i've compiled plenty of source, but if you use the package manager and don't need to compile, theres nothing wrong w/ that [18:07] nel: how have you installed that one, per package or per menu? === RoAk is now known as RoAkSoAx [18:07] Tarthen: I was hoping for an easy way out [18:07] I upgraded my ubuntu to 9.04 but when I watch videos with some xine or vlc so the video stream is bluegreen. What can I do to it? [18:07] sdls: Well, I'm not sure if you could chroot it [18:07] hi i need software recommendations for FTP and file moving [18:08] Tarthen: depends what you call "using properly" [18:08] sdls: chroot isolates everything, so no collisions [18:08] remoteCTRL I used ctrl alt f1 and then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [18:08] SultansElephant: filezilla [18:08] gordonjcp: the UNR uses a custome kernel i think tweaked for the stuff in the AAO and EEO and so forth.. id use the Normal ubuntu on that thing. [18:08] Dr_Willis: normal ubuntu doesn't run [18:08] remoteCTRL: oh word that works on linux? sweet [18:08] not in 512M [18:08] nel: you had to install the driver somehow; did you download it or did u use the ubuntu one? [18:09] SultansElephant: the other way arround, it also works on windows?;) [18:09] gordonjcp: Hmm.. ive ran ubuntu on 512 :) you may need the alternative installer cd. [18:09] another question im building a new desktop is there a site that can give me the best compatibility specs [18:09] Tarthen: That is a good idea actually. But let me try the source first, as that could possibly get rather difficult. If source gives me enough trouble, I'll look into chroot [18:09] remotectrl i downloaded it off the nvidia ftp, i made sure my gpu was supported, im using the 8400M nvidia [18:09] Dr_Willis: it'll boot the livecd and you can actually get it to install [18:09] Dr_Willis: it just spends all its time screaming away at 100% CPU and 100% swap [18:09] nel: not a good thing to do... [18:10] sdls: Haha. What are you exactly running? [18:10] gordonjcp: alt installer may be better.. wont hurt to try i guess.. [18:10] nel: ubuntu has a menu in system/administration/hardware driver, always use that one;) [18:10] remote i found that out, my first attempt, the nvidia software uninstalled the gnome core and i had to reload everything [18:10] Anyone has a ati radeon9800pro working with propretary drivers on 9.04? [18:11] nel: wth?? the driver hast an uninstall option, something like --remove or so, try to use that one [18:11] opensource hardware hurry up! =P [18:11] remoteCTRL that version worked for me before my jaunty upgrade but since on jaunty the hardware driver has never worked properly... no opengl at all [18:11] why upgrade when you can fresh install [18:11] SultansElephant: It won't as long as AMD competes with Intel and nVidia === christiekoehler is now known as christiekoehler| [18:11] Tarthen: I installed Ubuntu 9.04 i386 version from DVD on my gaming box, I was ready to explode with Windows, the stupid &$^%*#$. I'm playing games via wine. I got kotor 1 & 2 to work as well as Steam. There are a few more I want working, but it would appear that only certain versions of wine can mmake them work. I want to run the best wine for my games! [18:11] nel: i see, yet still the best recommendation i can give is to uninstall it and use ubuntus own one [18:12] Tarthen: Actually, it is not so much my games, but the family's games. I don't have time for that anymore. [18:12] sdls: then use cedega or crossover [18:12] sdls: Ah. Isn't there an app for game-specific hacks? [18:12] hi folks [18:12] remotectrl it was the drivers uninstall program that did it, its a pre release that i was trying to use and im not the first i did it to.... whats the best way to uninstall every trace of the nvidia drivers... through the synaptic package manager? [18:13] nel: A fresh install [18:13] How would I go about making .torrent extensions default to ktorrent? [18:13] ok [18:13] nel: Otherwise, right click, mark for complete removal [18:13] anyone using elisa here, noticed the move to moovida? noticed there's no such package in the ppa as advertised on the website [18:13] huhuh, any light 3d desktop/workspace switcher you guys know? [18:14] nel: i doubt that... still better to use the uninstall method of the driver itself, even if you have to reinstall half of gnome after that... [18:14] i dont believe in spamming but upgraded to jaunty, yesterday my pc stopped recieving dhcp, i booted into windows and it was fine, tried again and nothing, done a bunch of tests and such and no joy, booted just now with live cd and it now also wont recieve dhcp, but i know it is working..also network card looks dead, no lights..even tho all is well in windows..pm if you can help:)_ [18:15] alan_simmonds: so upgrading suggests you had intrepid running previously, right? [18:15] what's so hard about backing up and fresh install [18:15] SultansElephant: its an effort [18:15] remotectrl problem with reinstalling half the snome after that is i steal wireless and in the shell i couldnt get my wireless to connect... i was using iwconfig and ifconfig though so wasnt tooo sure what i was doing. [18:16] yep [18:16] alan_simmonds: please keep the conversation in the main channel, so that others can learn from it [18:16] kk [18:16] remoteCTRL: dunno, i dont think its an elitist thing to suggest that you should have a backup of your data at all times anyway [18:16] alan_simmonds: do you have an output for eth0 at all if you enter ifconfig? [18:16] one sec [18:16] SultansElephant: but it is a give in thing to reinstall for every lil sh*** [18:16] http://paste.ubuntu.com/178876/ [18:17] but heres my question... I am almost 100% certain that this pre release will be the best driver for my card... is there a way to just install the corrent version of the nvidia kernal module [18:17] that is my ifconfig [18:17] hi i need help with GeForce 6150SE nForce chipset i cant get the screen resolution pass 640x480 [18:17] remoteCTRL: every six months a fresh install doesnt killa ya [18:17] http://paste.ubuntu.com/178879/ that is my dmesg [18:17] nel: what you mean by steal? [18:17] remoteCTRL: Wipe it. Srsly. [18:17] SultansElephant: in my case sure does, you got no idea what configuration i got here buddy;) [18:17] im getting a blank screen after the progress bar on startup. this is a fresh ubuntu 9.04 install from the alternate cd. had the same issue using the desktop live cd too. this is my pastebin for /var/log/xorg.0.log, http://paste.ubuntu.com/178784/ . its probably a misconfiguration with xorg? i don't know how to correct this.. (im absolutely new to linux) [18:18] remotectrl i mean the person upstair's wireless connection so i cant just plug an ethernet cable into it [18:18] remoteCTRL: im sure its uber leet but is it something that would take more than a sunday afternoon? [18:18] any help [18:18] SultansElephant: sure is [18:18] Tarthen: Crossover I think it is called...but I believe you pay for it. [18:19] yeah crossover u have to pay for [18:19] nel: well in that case i cant help you very mucho man... [18:19] i think its 40 bucks or somehting [18:20] Help needed?

I have two NIC on my desktop. One 100Mbps, other One 1Gbps (I think). 100mbps works fine with the cable that I am using but 1gbps does not. However the 1gbps card works fine with other cables. Can anyone please tell me why this may happen? [18:44] OKay [18:44] Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel. [18:44] shabyasachi: Maybe the cable is broken internally. [18:45] Dextorion: so if the directory is called history then the line would be chown simon:simon history( got the right nick this time) [18:45] just testing to see if my nick changed [18:45] where to i extract eggdrop1.6.19 to? [18:45] after downloading it [18:45] nathan7: I thought so too. But it does work with the older NIC. I also tried to plug the cable in my asus eee 901. That also does not work with the cable. [18:45] Dam0: nowhere. get eggdrop from the official ubuntu repositories instead.

Can I switch the NIC to some mode so that it does not use those extra lines? [18:47] shabyasachi: Guess so. [18:47] Dam0: last i checked there were dozens of web sites dedicated to eggdrop bots.. [18:47] shabyasachi: Try ifconfig manpages. [18:47] shabyasachi: Or #ubuntu [18:47] uhh [18:47] Dam0: i don't see a reason why you would. if you insist on doing that, help yourself. [18:48] Dam0: if you have a speific question . we can try to answer.. but dont expect much expertise on a very 'specilized' thing like eggdrop bots. [18:48] Oh, this is #ubuntu xD [18:48] Dam0: we'll help you installing it "the ubuntu way" here, not compiling it for the sake of it. [18:48] Djlid7: finch is the name of the click pidgin app [18:48] nathan7: I used 'ethtool -S' on both the cards. And the gbps one has a lot more info than the 100mbps one. [18:48] nathan7: Okay.

[18:49] almost: For Mac OS X [18:49] shabyasachi: Manpages are cryptic per definition ;) [18:50] nathan7: Guess so :) [18:50] why do some data center people tell you irc is so stressful on your web server.

[18:51] Tigerboy: because IRC is communly used for IP theft, botnets, and the like. and your host doesn;t want to raise their legal threat silhouette. [18:51] Tigerboy: IRC client gets things sent to it === migz is now known as mman [18:51] nathan7, I do ssh -X mysvr, then log in, export DISPLAY=:0.0, then type gedit, but it just doesnt do anything. [18:51] Tigerboy: AJAX asks all the time. [18:51] so irc is more efficient, less impactive [18:51] why apt-update failing to update? http://rafb.net/p/QOEqHT65.html [18:51] ldiamond: Should appear on the server screen [18:51] how to fix the packages [18:51] Tigerboy: but this is offtopic for this channel [18:51] I see, how can I make it appear on my screen?

Are you? Ubuntu check for connections on IPv6 first then IPv4 [19:09] well, no [19:09] wolter: the only reason I've heard for disabling ipv6 was that dns lookups tried ipv6 first and it had to time out, that took some time making browsers slower.. can't say I've had any problems with it in later versions though [19:09] its just my vb, it doesn't support ipv6 === Demonicdata is now known as Seti-high [19:09] my sda1 has ubuntu and today i installed opensuse to sda3, [19:09] hi [19:09] sup guys [19:10] an:hi [19:10] which now lets my computer boots to sda3's grub, and that grub can't boot kubuntu well [19:10] TViYH^: Sdown guy [19:10] i want to let sda1's grub take control back. now i have set active partition to sda1, [19:10] linux: sudo fdisk /dev/sda1 [19:10] nathan7, wtf?

[19:23] hw do i get my previous debian installation working after installing jaunty [19:23] slart: i see. is it possible its at the wrong refresh rate for my monitor? or how would i go about adjusting it to a lower resolution to test? [19:23] mman: hang on.. let me see if I can find some info on it [19:23] nathan7: This is shabyasachi. I have been able to make my GBPS NIC work. [19:23] Ab3L: looks like the fglrx will support for x1600, in my experience for the fglrx, I had to keep the intrepid backports, and then install/activate the fglrx, else I would get mega issues [19:23] anki1: add a proper boot option for it to the jaunty grub's menu.lst if you want to 'boot the debian install' [19:24] Slart, ok [19:24] mman: Are you using root account or you have a username --> root ? [19:24] mobi-sheep, yes.. [19:24] mobi-sheep, it's a vps [19:24] nathan7: I had to use "mii-tool -F 10baseT-FD eth0" on the card. And now it is running happily. :) [19:24] anyone know what command can i use for unistall the last update? [19:24] now in grub, [19:25] no body know, what command can I use for unistall the last update [19:25] "find /boot/grub/stage1" returns two lines [19:25] I got it problem with this update [19:25] (hd0,0) and (hd0,2) [19:25] somebody know what command I use in the terminal the can to uninstall the last update [19:25] mman: ok.. run this "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" [19:25] heogen: sudo apt-get update [19:25] of my ubuntu 9.04 [19:25] Ciros, i had fglrx when running hardy. but now, on jaunty, i do not know how to install and use them. [19:25] !enter | heogen [19:25] heogen: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [19:25] heogen: Don't spam. [19:25] (hd0,2) is opensuse's partition. how do i let (hd0,2) disappear in the grub response? [19:25] mman: it will open an editor with some apt urls and such, right? [19:25] do you know what command can I use in the terminal for uninstall the last update? [19:25] because I update my system in ones of file are wrong [19:25] !ubottu | heogen [19:25] heogen: 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 [19:25] I used the past a command but know I dont remember [19:26] heogen: What problem are you having exactly? [19:26] heogen: I don't think you can "undo" an update [19:26] @Slart: I'm trying the 904 live cd to partition right now, somethings wrong so I'm also getting gparted iso to see if I can use that if this fails [19:26] Ab3L: when you updated to 9.04 did you step to 8.10 first? [19:26] ok. sorry [19:26] michaelsmick: oh? can't partition? any error messages? [19:26] start i can do it [19:26] @slart with all these i/o errors on device Sda1 I wonder if this HD is failing coincidentally [19:27] i only one to unistall the update [19:27] michaelsmick: io errors are not good.. might be that it's dying [19:27] no. it is a clean install. i reformat the harddisk and perform a new install of jaunty. hardy does not exist anymore in my hd. [19:27] @the live cd is geting 360.516129 B uffer i/o error on device sda1 logical block... [19:27] hi! how can I deny the access to my apache for other users? [19:28] Ciros, no. it is a clean install. i reformat the harddisk and perform a new install of jaunty. hardy does not exist anymore in my hd. [19:28] vekpos, ask in #httpd [19:28] I don't want other users to access my apache by connecting to my IP [19:28] OK [19:28] @slart: man I was hoping that this was just gonna be a software install. My buddy had a virus he thought, I did find a virus scanning the drive with the mac, but this might be failing too. [19:29] strange that the live cd is generating errors too, I didn't know the live cd used the hd [19:29] michaelsmick: it doesn't write to it.. but I think it might check that it's there.. what kind of partitions are on it etc etc.. [19:29] vekpos, and besides, unless you purpously opened port 80 on your router (assuming you have one) no one will be able to access it [19:29] vekpos: you could set up iptables to drop all incomming rewuests on the ports apache is listening on, or you coul configure apache to only listen on the local interface. if you are trying to prevent users on the local system from connecting, it's not really possible to prevent that. [19:30] firestarter ftw [19:30] I've belink f6d4050 usb wireless stick. Is the recommended method o tfire this up still the ralink driver? [19:30] vekpos: perhaps it's easier to ask.. "who is allowed to access the site"? [19:30] @Slart, funny it loaded ubuntu fine at first, rebooted once, OK, then I updated and worked on display settings, rebooted again and starting getting the grub error. I do have a large disk I used the whole thing for the OS all 150gb. So it's either that, or the HD failing or both? [19:30] grub's "find /boot/grub/stage1" returns two lines: hd(0,0) and hd(0,2). is it normal? how do i make hd(0,2) disappear in this output? [19:31] michaelsmick: you can't check the s.m.a.r.t status on the drive? [19:31] i have this error when starting up my eggdrop: http://pastebin.com/m1be8d5fc what would it be and what should i change? [19:31] its easy to reinstall grub [19:31] michaelsmick: find out who made the disk. go to the manufacturers website, download and run their hard drive checking utility and run it. It will tell you if you are starting to get badsectors and such. [19:31] Does anyone know a good alternative for kdenlive? It's a good software but it always crashes every few minutes... sometimes even seconds... I'm running gnome, anyone know anything goof? [19:31] good [19:32] @YeTr2_: I just want to connect via Loopback. ill try iptables first... [19:32] @YeTr2: I'll try that, but I have to pull this thing apart. hopefully the manfacturer has a live cd too, because windows is gone and so is ubutnu at this point. [19:32] Ab3L: I see I see. I found I had more success with the fglrx if I installed intrepid, then upgraded to jaunty, and keep the back ports for intrepid on my hd. and have fglrx activated on my intrepid install. what you might want to do first, is to get the intrepid backports installed on your system, and follow the directions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver [19:32] Dam0: it means the port for listen is in use, change it to another port number [19:32] ? for someone who could help. I recently rebooted my Jaunty server, and now i can connect OUT of it TO my windows home network, but I cannot connect FROM the windows network to juanty. Been browsing help files all day, but no luck. anyone> [19:32] > [19:32] Xarver Kino, LiVeS, Cinelerra, PiTiVi, AVIDemux. I'm sure at least one of these will work [19:32] ? [19:32] Dam0: hmm.. port 89999... that sounds awfully high. or? [19:32] ok [19:33] Hi everyone [19:33] vekpos: if you only want loopback, then configure apache to only listen on it.. it won'tlisten on any other interface but what you have specified in the conf file. by default, it listens on all. [19:33] Dam0: port must be smaller then 65535 [19:33] Ab3L: well nm on the url...just a sec... [19:33] noodlesgc, Cinelerra, is used in Pixar Movies AFAIK [19:33] Dam0: as far as I know ports only go up to 65535 [19:33] ficed [19:33] thanks [19:33] I would like to know about path on ubuntu and path on opensuse are the same? [19:33] ah, OK. Thanks!!! [19:34] Drknezz: yes, but the interface is really scary [19:34] Hi [19:34] box02, try "echo $PATH" on both [19:34] Is there a way to change just the font color for the panel only? [19:34] noodlesgc, lulZ [19:34] Drknezz: hi [19:34] box02, hi [19:34] box02, try what i said ;) [19:34] hello folks. anyone knows in tc? [19:35] Drknezz: I mean I would like to make a program with shell script [19:35] Is there a way to change just the font color for the panel only? I want the text to be white, but the only way to do this is to change to change the window color, and white is hard to see with the BG color I have, and I don't want the BG color changed, because it gets too dark [19:35] amseidler: wxfactory might do it. [19:35] Alright [19:35] debBusy, You mean ssh, or samba? [19:35] box02: a program to ... [19:35] Drknezz: that sell script could be use for all platform [19:35] Ab3L: how to install the fglrx can be found http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Jaunty_Installation_Guide [19:36] Drknezz: yes, something like that [19:36] hi people. looking for mod_ssl for apache - what is it called? I've apt-cache searched for all I can think of, but.. [19:36] ... i really hope there's some valid reason pidgin and empathy can no longer use sound after my upgrade to jaunty [19:36] craig, i mean samba [19:36] Drknezz: It mean .. for example .. /usr/share/ directory are the same on both ubuntu and fedora. === LULZ is now known as Drknezz [19:36] gumpwea: pulseaudio perhaps? :/ [19:37] gamla_kossan: didn't they move lots of modules into one bit.. auth mod or something? not sure ssl was included in that === mlt is now known as ASCIIGirl [19:37] was working, then i rebooted the server yesterday, now it isnt working [19:37] Slart: thanks [19:37] box02, ok [19:37] hi [19:37] box02, path should be the same [19:37] Drknezz: yes [19:37] #ubuntu-ru [19:37] motaalim: hi [19:37] gamla_kossan: when I restarted just now i happened to notice something in the tty that said "pulseaudio configured for per user session" which i don't recall seeing before [19:37] join #ubuntu-ru [19:37] where can I find the deb or sourcecode of wine 1.1.16/17 for jaunty x64? [19:37] ftp was working b4 the reboot as well, and it wasnt working after. it ended up being shorewall was stopping it. i turned off shorewall, and i can connect via ftp [19:37] !info libapache2-mod-gnutls | gamla_kossan [19:37] gamla_kossan: libapache2-mod-gnutls (source: mod-gnutls): Apache2 module for SSL and TLS encryption using GnuTLS. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.5.2-1 (jaunty), package size 25 kB, installed size 136 kB [19:37] box02, but verify it by issuing this command: echo $PATH [19:38] Slart: <3 [19:38] WS wanted aubreyy [19:38] WS wanted aubreyy [19:38] Drknezz: yes [19:38] MaT-dg: at the wine site.. they ought to have an archive of older releases [19:38] box02, so the script should work on both distros np [19:38] Slart: yes, but for jaunty the oldest release is 1.1.18 [19:39] I want to connect to my Ubuntu machine from another Ubuntu machine just like I would using Remote Desktop on windows. How can I do that [19:39] Drkness: I mean .. these paths are the same for all Gnome or all KDE? [19:39] box02, yeah [19:39] ldiamond: Look in Internet --> Remote Desktop? [19:39] Drknezz: aha, why? [19:39] box02, it's an enviromental variable that shouldnt change across unix-like systems [19:40] MaT-dg: if you're looking for a wine 1.1.16/17 for jaunty I think you might get disappointed.. [19:40] MaT-dg: I don't think jaunty existed when those versions were released [19:40] hello folks. anyone knows in tc? [19:40] ldiamond: you are asking for an ssh access,in addition to what you might gather here,also try Google ,their are numerous tutorials on the web on how to make one. [19:40] Drknezz: if so the same, is that because of Gnome or because of Distros? [19:40] MaT-dg: but get one for intrepid.. I don't think it will be a problem.. http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/index.html [19:40] Slart, manual compilation.... [19:40] * Ciros shrugs and hugs his wine 1.1.21 [19:41] mobi-sheep, yea I tried that, it requires port 5900 opened but I dont have access to the router remotely. I still have SSH access to the server [19:41] hi [19:41] how can I restore the menu entries in kde to default? [19:41] box02, no no, no matter what Desktop Environment you use, that shouldnt vary, or it would break compatibility with tons of things [19:41] nmvictor, I already have SSH access to the computer [19:42] Drknezz: aha .. thank you. :-) [19:42] box02, NP [19:42] ldiamond: ooh,good for you. [19:42] Slart: ok it seems to work.. thx :) [19:43] Ciros, Ab3L: how to install the fglrx can be found http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Jaunty_Installation_Guide <-- thank you. i will read it now. [19:43] MaT-dg: you're welcome [19:43] bye. [19:43] is there anyone aware of a collaboration tool that is available for both inter and intra net usage ? [19:43] Ab3L: no probs :D [19:43] dassouki, load balancing? [19:43] Ciros: I need it to install photoshop CS, the installer doesn't work on the latest wine version [19:43] Drknezz: but I have now Fedora and Ubuntu and Debian for example. But I dont' have another distros. How can I know the other's distro has the same directory system? [19:43] * Ciros hopes ab3l remembers to install backports intrepid [19:43] box02, dont worry [19:44] Ciros: CS4 that is.. [19:44] box02, there IS an standard [19:44] Drknezz: wow .. it's good to know. :-) [19:44] Drknezz: no more like between group members, some of our group members live abroad, and some are in teh same office. I was wondering if there is a solution where we can all access some directories, do work, post to do lists, document updates, so on and so forth [19:44] ldiamond: maybe ssh tunnel? http://members.shaw.ca/nicholas.fong/vnc/ [19:45] as far as I know only Photoshop CS2 works in wine [19:45] MaT-dg: have you thought of asking for help in the #winehq channel? [19:46] Ciros: don't need help at the moment, I'm following the instructions the submitter provided [19:46] Drknezz: but you know .. in ubuntu 7.04 and 7.10 .. they have xkb path is like '/etc/X11/xkb/' ... but in ubuntu 8.10 and later, they have path like '/usr/share/X11/xkb/' [19:46] is there a FOSS software room on freenode? i tried finding one through /list but no success [19:47] Drknezz: if so, how can I aware of that thing happening? [19:47] box02: don't use absolute paths? use things like locate or which to get paths [19:47] My wastebasket won't empty. When I tell it to empty, it shows a box saying it's deleting the files one by one, but the files remain. It's only certain files, most files I delete go away when I empty the wastebasket.

[19:48] Slart: yes, but I would like to have or know about Standard File Directory structure of all Linux Distros. [19:49] box02: yes, it would be awesome.. not sure if LSB tried to do something like that or if that was about other stuff [19:49] eseven73: Fixed, thanks [19:49] :) [19:50] Slart: sorry .. what is LSB? [19:50] why doesn't the games menu show all the games I've installed? Also it seems on one system the games menu has a sub menu and this one it doesn't. [19:50] wondering...there isn't a way for the server to only use SSLEnable on if the client browser is negotiating in SSL? [19:50] box02: Linux Standard Base or something like that [19:50] box02: most use FHS [19:50] Slart: aha [19:51] box02: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/lsb [19:51] example: I have port 5000 for ssl, but i want it to also handle non-ssl. e.g. http://site:8000 and https://site:5000.

Where i can get FAT sources? Could you help me? [20:42] Rusty_Angel: fat sources??? [20:42] ActionParsnip: each window manager has it's own menu tree? I just want the stuff I install to show up in some menu :D [20:42] does it hurt to do a hard restart in ubuntu? [20:42] sebsebseb, yes [20:42] i gotta mount a copy-protected ISO on my linux and acetone won't do it. The problem is I don't have a CD-ROM driver. Windows isn't an option, I'm on USB boot. [20:42] sysdoc: well... how you download the sources won't matter ... be it by getting a tar.gz or something else.. [20:42] rob0917: han [20:42] nah [20:42] Rusty_Angel: what do you mean? source code for that FAT32 file system??? [20:43] guys, i've installed wine and installed some windows apps... if i uninstall wine will it delete all the apps and configuration files as well??? [20:43] rob0917: nah [20:43] :) [20:43] for the [20:43] jla: xfce / lxde use /usr/share/applications folder for stuff [20:43] gharz1: no, only if you purge the package [20:43] sebsebseb, or vfat [20:43] i can't remove adobe photoshop from wine... did uninstall but it doesn't go. [20:43] ok thanks [20:43] jla: kde uses kmenuedit [20:43] just noticed when trying to learn javascript [20:43] Rusty_Angel: support for Fat32 and NTFS and all of Microsoft's file systems have been reverse enginered in Linux distros [20:43] Miggol: if i run sudo apt-get --purge remove wine... will this remove all the files including the installed windoze apps? [20:43] rob0917: what exactly do you mean by 'hard restart' [20:44] got laptop used a month ago and started using it this week [20:44] gharz1: Yes, it will. But you'll lose everything [20:44] Rusty_Angel: as a result there isn't really any source code that you can get hold of, except the actsaul Linux file system support code or something from some where [20:44] Rusty_Angel: they are implemented in the kernel. kernel source is downloadable, but not especially easy to read [20:44] Miggol: thanks! it's ok. i don't need photoshop cs2 on my machine... though it works perfectly.

If I log locally onto the machine I can ssh into it. If machine is left at login prompt, I can not ssh into it from somewhere else. any ideas? thanks! [20:45] rob0917: try reset button instead, but should not make any difference [20:45] rob0917: without doing a shutdown first, you mean? [20:45] yes [20:45] yeah [20:45] sebsebseb, i think FAT is module as in Solaris [20:46] Rusty_Angel: I think what losher said is probably correct [20:46] power on power off like that [20:46] I have an old machine and was curious if anyone has used either http://www.planetwatt.com/ OR http://www.fluxbuntu.org/ and which might be faster? It's an Pentium 3 w/ 128MB I think. I have Xubuntu installed on it now... [20:46] Rusty_Angel: why do you want the code? [20:46] rob0917: nowadays,ext3 is pretty much proof against sudden power failure, but there is a small chance of corruption, and most likely to require an fsck on reboot, which can be very time consuming [20:47] Xubuntu just as fast? [20:47] ElectricHeavyLan: Fluxbox is said to be less memory hangry [20:47] need to see realisation and compare with solaris [20:47] Rusty_Angel: those are kernel modules. What I said still applies [20:47] ElectricHeavyLan: there should be no big difference in performance [20:47] hm.. i just burned a new cd, reinstalled, and after boot, i still get "Error 18" on grub. [20:47] whats the matter?... [20:47] ok ,only when there is no other way ,then I can [20:48] vladimirboyd: thanks. [20:48] right, what's your BIOS manufacturer? [20:48] damed [20:48] what is the best CD/DVD burning program [20:48] this is problem with bios [20:48] rob0917: yes, much better to shutdown/reboot from software if you can [20:48] Soren__: the one you feel is right for you [20:48] losher: Solaris and Linux are two completly differnet kernels, as I assume you kjnow [20:48] Soren__: theres quite a few of them that are good.. i personally like gnomebaker, but k3b and brasero are good to. [20:48] cool,thank you so much [20:48] Is there a multithreaded gzip program in the archives? [20:48] I would like to log into my computer with ssh with out having a local user logged in. Is there any way to do this? I have open ssh installed, but must have a local user logged in for ssh to work [20:49] ty IndyGunFreak [20:49] Soren__: asking for the best or won't get you very good answers.. [20:49] losher: whoops sent to you by mistake [20:49] Soren__: there is no best, best is an opinion [20:49] how can i burn DVD+R DL on ubuntu [20:49] Solaris is an operating system... linux is a kernel [20:49] !burniso | Soren__ [20:49] Soren__: To burn an ISO image of a CD in Linux, Mac OS or Windows, read the howto at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [20:49] Soren__: most people use k3b or brasero or cli [20:49] Rusty_Angel: see above when I messaged losher by mistake [20:49] Soren__: try a few, see which you like [20:49] i change keyboard to the dell latitude setting for vendor but it did nothing [20:49] !burners | Soren__ [20:49] Soren__: 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 [20:49] Soren__: wait, are you talking about for windows, or for linux? [20:49] Soren__: the ones in that list are all the best [20:49] ty for people who gave an answer [20:49] Rusty_Angel: why do you want to compare them? [20:49] whatsinaname: Are you using network-manager? In which case your network connection might not be active until you log in [20:49] i have to hit ¨ that key twice to get it to display and its small [20:50] * IndyGunFreak ugh.. remembers xcdroast.. thank goodness for choice [20:50] sebsebseb, but vfs conception is similar [20:50] ahh Miggol I bet you are right, how would I fix that :) [20:50] whatsinaname: Can you ping the machine whithout having a local user logged in? [20:50] Miggol I will check [20:50] anyone know where cairo-dock stores its config files? [20:50] Rusty_Angel: what do you mean conception? I am not a file system expert, also you may want to try your issue in the general LInux channel ##linux [20:51] remoteCTRL: im back i think [20:51] killfill: have you used gpart to edit your HD space during the install? [20:51] Rusty_Angel: however Fat these days hummmm, Linux has a very good read and write driver for NTFS === Dalila_ is now known as Dalila [20:51] Loganhoup: hi [20:51] killfill: here is a good guide http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-6448.html [20:51] funkyhat:hi [20:51] Miggol No I can not ping :) I think you are on to my solution. how do I get the network connection working while not logged in? [20:52] vladimirboyd, yup. if you mean gpart is the utility that ubuntu showed me when "manual partitioning", yes [20:52] sebsebseb, for write NTFS used FUSE? [20:52] have you tried to install /boot in front of the disc? [20:52] !ntfs [20:52] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [20:52] how do I select the ati opengl instead of the sofware gl extentions? [20:52] Rusty_Angel: a choice look [20:52] killfill: a dedicated partition space for your bootloader [20:53] Rusty_Angel: or maybe not a choice, but NTFS-3g was in my mind [20:53] read/write ntfs, has worked out of the box for a while. [20:53] vladimirboyd, hm.. boot? [20:53] didnt got your idea [20:53] hi [20:53] Hello everybody! Can someone help me to install virtualbox-ose 2.0.4 in ubuntu hardy 8.04?private me.thank you! [20:53] Loganhoup: ok, so do you have a file ~/.alsactl or /etc/alsactl ? [20:53] funkyhat: In short pulseaudio won't start. Everything that wants to use ALSA seems to work though. [20:53] I tried to install sun-java6-jre earlier today. Under the installation I wasn't able to do anything in the terminal through putty when the "license-agreement" came up, so I managed to turn of putty. When I try to use apt-get i get an error about sun-java6-jre. I'm not able to proced with apt-get install or remove sun-java6-jre [20:53] IndyGunFreak: exactly, and that's why I am wondering why this person is even bothering with Fat, yet alone wanting to compare the Linux and Solaris support for it [20:53] funkyhat: hold on I will check. [20:53] normaly I would use eselect opengl but ubuntu is, not using eselect for said function [20:53] sebastien: yeah, makes very little since... i guess fat32 i could understand.. but FAT seems silly [20:54] killfill: make a separate partition for "/boot", that is to accomodate your GRUB loader [20:54] place it manually in front of everything else in GPart [20:54] oh.. two partitions, one for root and on for boot. [20:54] whatsinaname: I really don't know. Network-Manager has always annoyed me. Try looking up/asking how to get a static network setup instead of N-M, at least now you know the problem :) [20:54] IndyGunFreak: well FAT or vfat in there case [20:54] killfill: place it manually in front of everything else in GPart [20:54] vladimirboyd: how much space should i gave it? [20:54] a few MB [20:54] yup [20:54] killfill: [20:54] killfill: a few MB [20:54] killfill: not GB! [20:54] Thanks Miggol off to google now :) but I am sure you nailed my problem. Thanks again! [20:54] i think ntfs-3g only for read [20:54] i dont believe in spamming but upgraded to jaunty, yesterday my pc stopped recieving dhcp, i booted into windows and it was fine, tried again and nothing, done a bunch of tests and such and no joy, booted just now with live cd and it now also wont recieve dhcp, but i know it is working..also network card looks dead, no lights..even tho all is well in windows..pm if you can help:)_ [20:55] 128MB?... [20:55] whatsinaname: No problem, good luck [20:55] Thanks. [20:55] Rusty_Angel: the one Ubuntu has read and writes to NTFS really well [20:55] sebsebseb, you try to write with ntfs-3g? [20:55] why do people poot grub on a separate partition? [20:55] funkyhat: no alsactl in either locations [20:55] Loganhoup: also, in the file /etc/default/pulseaudio do you have PULSEAUDIO_SUSTEM_START=1 or PULSEAUDIO_SYSTEM_START=0 ? [20:55] killfill: this should install bootloader into this partition [20:55] usa international with dead keys [20:55] what does that mean [20:55] IndyGunFreak: Ubuntu's NTFS support is NTFS-3g ? [20:55] sebsebseb, ok [20:55] sebsebseb: not sure on that.. i just know it works out of the box.. it might be. [20:55] funkyhat: I have system start 0 [20:55] killfill: then take a note of the HD's name that has Ubuntu ans Swap area on it [20:56] Rusty_Angel: I can read and write to Windows partiton no problem with Ubuntu since Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 (October 2007) === shinigami is now known as Guest61324 [20:56] Loganhoup: ok that's good. right, type this command: sudo pkill -9 pulseaudio [20:56] Rusty_Angel: I am probably not the best person to pm about this [20:56] sebsebseb: yeah, i was thinking gutsy, or at the latest, hardy... its been fine for a while. [20:56] anyone here using the ati fglrx module? [20:56] funkyhat: ok [20:56] sebsebseb: IndyGunFreak: ntfs-3g is the newer (and better) ntfs implementation. There is an older driver that was read-only [20:56] funkyhat I did no output [20:57] I tried to install sun-java6-jre earlier today. Under the installation I wasn't able to do anything in the terminal through putty when the "license-agreement" came up, so I managed to turn of putty.

[20:57] aleksN: what's the error? [20:57] killfill: can you go to your BIOS for me? [20:57] is there a multithreaded gzip? [20:57] funkyhat: failed to initialize daemon [20:58] Loganhoup: can you pastebin the error? [20:58] what's the terminal command to move an entire directory and all the files in it? [20:58] funkyhat: yes [20:58] goose: mv [20:58] goose: mv [20:58] IndyGunFreak: agreed. It just works in 9.04 [20:58] anyone? fglrx? ubuntu?

[20:59] losher: actualy, i think it "just works" at least since Hardy.. maybe Gutsy also. [20:59] vladimirboyd: hi! [20:59] longcat: odd question. Why would you need such a thing? [20:59] vladimirboyd: ill make the 128 partition ext3. [20:59] goose: moving a directory automatically moves its contents with it [20:59] sonne: what's with lyx?

[21:00] killfill: yeah, you better format them if you have no other OS installed [21:00] i dont believe in spamming but upgraded to jaunty, yesterday my pc stopped recieving dhcp, i booted into windows and it was fine, tried again and nothing, done a bunch of tests and such and no joy, booted just now with live cd and it now also wont recieve dhcp, but i know it is working..also network card looks dead, no lights..even tho all is well in windows..pm if you can help:)_ [21:00] Hello guys, I did download Hardy Maurix 2.0 ( GTK THEME ) and readed the readme, then put the Folder in /home/liquid77/.themes put when it wont show up :s [21:00] spowers: I can't afford to lose all of my stuff [21:00] vladimirboyd: something like compilation error. I don't know anything about LaTex either ;) [21:00] funkyHat: I'm not getting proper acceleration [21:00] I wonder why pigz isnt in the ubuntu repo [21:00] amseidler: what i normally do is back up /home and restore it [21:00] sonne: hold on [21:00] amseidler: you've installed ubuntu on ntfs partition as a loopfile. If you shutdown your computer down the wrong way, the partition (loopfile and the actual one) might end up in a state that is not repairable with Linux tools. [21:01] Ah it appears to be in karmic [21:01] funkyHat: it's not implementing fog shading either [21:01] ok, sda1 for boot, sda5 for root, and sda6 for swap. [21:01] vladimirboyd: ok [21:01] Myrtti: So there's no way to remove windows without fresh installing? [21:01] funkyHat: only sofware acceleration, [21:01] Loganhoup: can you pastebin your /etc/pulse/default.pa and /etc/pulse/daemon.conf [21:01] amseidler: most likely, no. [21:01] spowers: will that save everything? All my themes, etc? and restore it back to what it was exactly? [21:02] amseidler: technically you've installed ubuntu inside your windows partition. if you remove the windows partition, well, you've removed your wubi too [21:02] amseidler: sure, just remove the partition, I'm a big fan of gparted, but fdisk will do it quick and dirty [21:02] Myrtti: I heard there's a way to do it with 'lvpm' [21:02] amseidler: I suggest getting hold of your data, and then starting over on your computer with real partitions for Ubuntu :) [21:02] amseidler: never tried. [21:02] losher: you'd understand if you had a 46gb gzipped file [21:02] funkyhat: here is the first http://paste.ubuntu.com/179033/ [21:02] blaise: can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf (if you have one) [21:03] spowers: If I back up everything I have on ubuntu right now, and then restore it on the fresh install, will everything be exactly as I left it? [21:03] anyone have a clue? i have tried everything and nothing seems to work.. [21:03] amseidler: if you installed those themes under /home/amsiedler for example, they'd come back with you. what you don't keep is your installed packages, so you'd have to re-install some packages if you did that after installing wubi [21:03] longcat: I guess. But I would expect it to be io-bound, not sure multithreading would help much [21:03] spowers: I've done so much work on the theme, etc. I don't wanna risk losing that. [21:03] get a usb flash drive, use the archive tool to make a .tar.gz of /home [21:04] funkyhat: this is the second http://paste.ubuntu.com/179035/ [21:04] your first priority should be to be backing stuff up [21:04] Loganhoup: you need to get rid of the last line in your default.pa [21:04] funkyhat: done [21:04] funkyHat: for ubuntu? [21:04] funkyHat: there is none [21:05] blaise: have you checked? [21:05] Loganhoup: ok, try running pulseaudio again [21:05] Loganhoup: (I'm expecting a different error message at the least :)) [21:05] spowers: is it possible to get everything back to the way it was through backing up my stuff now? [21:05] funkyHat: afirmative [21:06] can anyone give a hand with networking issues? [21:06] funkyHat: it's a shallow ghost of an xorg.conf worthless, no configurable variables.. it's less than a screenfull [21:06] blaise: so there is one [21:06] not, really [21:07] blaise: try moving it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf-crap or something and restarting X [21:07] losher: If you assume ungzipping or gzipping a file is i/o bound you surely overestimate my cpu [21:07] lol, ok [21:08] Loganhoup: anything? [21:08] longcat: disk i/o is usually the slowest part of a system. If your cpu is underpowered, adding threads probably won't help much. But by all means, try it... [21:08] It's a 2.0GHz C2D and it's still not all i/o bound [21:09] longcat: try it & let us know [21:09] I am... even using both cores it's still cpu bound [21:10] Does anyone know if the intel 4500m supports 2.1 hardware-wise [21:10] opengl 2.1 that is [21:10] My compiz-fusion seem to degrade over time since I installed jaunty, sometimes the lower panel disappears when I spin the cube, or apps minamize when I swich to a different cube face, as well as a few other minor issues, has anyone else ran into this same problem with jaunty? [21:10] longcat: I would expect 46G of *anything* would take some time to process... [21:10] how do i shut system sounds up???!!! they are driving me crazy!!! im not using gnome and i hear a beep tip! i dont know... not the system beep but sounds... [21:11] I'm currently trying to install sun-java6-jre on ubuntu through putty. I'm not able to accept the lisence-agreement or go further with the installation as you can see: http://bildr.no/view/416624 [21:11] Can anyone help me with a mencoder subtitle problem? I try to hardcode subtitles (srt) into a avi file and my subs are always a bit transparent on yellow and blue backgrounds. [21:11] lucax: remove the pcspkr module [21:11] Slart: nono not that i hear GNOME SOUNDS on lxde! and xfce! and any other desktop but gnome.... [21:11] sorry... wrong channel [21:12] is there a search tool for Ubuntu like spotlight search on mac os x? [21:12] Thanks Miggol Its working now! WOOOT. I used webmin to go and look at my network settings. There is a tab for "activated at boot" I configured my network settings there and bingo. now I can have my server on and not logged in. YEA for headless box in closet. [21:12] this is wired debian installes without any problems fedora same cant get the demn ubuntu to install :Grrrrrr [21:12] lucax: oh.. hmm.. I have no idea then.. odd that you'd hear gnome sounds without gnome running... [21:13] CyberJack: which channel supports mencoder [21:13] I have a radeon HD 2600 pro wuth sound working one minute and then not the next? Any ideas. Pulseaudio is behaving i think, I am running over the HDMI link [21:13] Slart: yeah they are the sounds that u can configure in system preferences sounds theme or what ever, i hear them on any other desktop but gnome since ive unchecked them in gnome [21:13] is there a search tool for Ubuntu like spotlight search on mac os x? [21:14] losher:i guess #mplayer [21:14] it seems to work then dies and never comes back no idea why, working fine in 8.10 [21:14] CyberJack: worth a try if no-one here responds [21:14] My compiz-fusion seem to degrade over time since I installed jaunty, sometimes the lower panel disappears when I spin the cube, or apps minamize when I swich to a different cube face, as well as a few other minor issues, has anyone else ran into this same problem with jaunty?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead [21:15] Oh i am on 9.04 [21:15] lucax: one some systems I;ve had to resort to moving all the files in /usr/share/sounds to a backup directory so the system can't find them [21:15] losher: I already did, just have to wait for a response... but that's no problem [21:15] Hello guys when I built this PC I installed 9.04 and everything works great, I couldnt be happier except a mouse lockup issue.I just went and bought a copy of Doom3 to play on my Ubuntu setup and it runs fantastic.However there is an occasional mouse lockup at seemingly random times.Yesterday it never locked up once and i played for hours.Today I booted and not even 3 mins go by and the mouse locked up.When i use the keyboard strokes to [21:15] vladimirboyd: woops it booted [21:15] losher: u had same problem? [21:16] can anyone help me with networking??????? [21:16] vladimirboyd: whats the conclusion?.. ubuntu by default when using the whole disk it does not create the /boot partition so it fails?... [21:16] hello [21:16] alan_simmonds, what's the problem [21:16] alan_simmonds: what's your issue? be more specific === zenxr_ is now known as zenxr [21:16] linuxguy2009, try looking in dmesg through the terminal [21:16] Also ever since I installed 9.04 it has an error on bootup about a referenced package not found or something.It goes away realy fast but ui think it has to do with ACPI.By mobo wont let me disable that so Im not sure exactly what the message is or how to fix it.Can anyone take the time to help diagbose this? [21:16] haloo [21:16] I jsut got a belkin wireless usb stick working; feel like I can conquer the world... until the next issue.. [21:16] lucax: I found some older versions of gnome didn't seem to understand what 'no sounds at all' meant... [21:16] ok [21:17] damn.. 09.4 booting is fast.. [21:17] i [21:17] killfill: did you get inside the Ubuntu??? [21:17] halllo [21:17] I have ubuntu 9.04 on a VNM [21:17] ola [21:17] yup [21:17] linuxguy2009, after the freeze, you know the key strokes? [21:17] they are driving me so f"·%$" mad [21:18] CyberJack: I see some google threads about changing subtitle colors in mencoder... [21:18] vladimirboyd: works greate now. [21:18] zenxr_: cant get my pc to recieve dhcp and when i am using static ip i cant get it to ping anything, i booted it in windows and was fine, so not a hardware issue..been through alot of tests and things here are my results http://paste.ubuntu.com/178876/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/178879/ any clues? [21:18] Does anyone know of a good guide to implement dm-crypt on an existing 9.04 installation. I have had a look around and only seen one article relating to 7.10 which was somewhat sketchy. [21:18] funkyhat: if your still here my wifi cut out Pulseaudio now claims it has a connection since removing the last line from default.pa. I do not have any system sound or music players playing sound(like banshee) but youtube videos and various things on the web have sound. [21:18] http://pastebin.com/m78c890e5 [21:18] Ctl ALT Del and lrestart is what i have been doing [21:18] dont know why when choosing "use the whole disk" its nos icreating the /boot partition. (i guess thats why it fails when booting) [21:18] anybody know to make ubuntu boot in text mode ?? not in GUI?? [21:19] Loganhoup: ok, so that's a start. run gstreamer-properties [21:19] anybody know to make ubuntu boot in text mode ?? not in GUI?? [21:19] anybody know to make ubuntu boot in text mode ?? not in GUI?? [21:19] Loganhoup: you'll need another terminal of course [21:19] did it! [21:19] antonsetiady: we heard you first time [21:19] try ALT+F1 then go to accessories and then terminal and type in dmesg [21:19] antonsetiady, Not sure. What the ubuntu equivalent of RH init 3 ? [21:19] antonsetiady: disable gdm service [21:19] antonsetiady: do you want to remove the GUI, or just not start it by default? [21:19] you might see some output about the error [21:19] funkyhat: I've got about 3 with multiple tabs it won't bother me [21:19] cool [21:20] funkyhat: gstreamer properties is open what now? [21:20] how can i know if my video card is being detected by ubuntu or not? [21:20] how to disable gdm?? [21:20] Does that pastebin of my dmesg help any? Im not sure what to look for there. [21:20] killfill: right, mobo could not find bootloader's position in the partition, then you get error 18. by forcing it right at the beginning of HD, you basically moved it to the cylinders that mobo reads first [21:20] y how to disable gdm?? [21:20] losher: The color isn't the problem. White is ok for subtitles, but when the movie has yellow or blue parts behind the subtitle, the color shines thru [21:20] Loganhoup: on the audio tab, are the output and input plugin set to pulseaudio? [21:20] My compiz-fusion seem to degrade over time since I installed jaunty, sometimes the lower panel disappears when I spin the cube, or apps minamize when I swich to a different cube face, as well as a few other minor issues, has anyone else ran into this same problem with jaunty? [21:20] how to disable gdm?? [21:21] alan_simmonds: I am far from an expert, but I see some link up/link down messages which are suspicious (I suspect a driver issue since you say the hardware is known working under windows). I also see some disk errors on sdc1 that would worry me === jsaveker is now known as J1MB0 [21:21] Hey, guys. Need littlehelp. I added my user to group ( deploy for Apache ) but now I'm sudoer anymore :( [21:21] killfill: otherwise, /boot gets written last and mobo can't reach it at the startup. that was the problem [21:21] Any idea ? [21:21] how to disable gdm?? [21:21] killfill: enjoy your Jaunty! [21:21] how to disable gdm?? [21:21] how to disable gdm?? [21:21] how to disable gdm?? [21:21] antonsetiady: stop repeating yourself [21:21] antonsetiady: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:22] antonsetiady: I was actually typing an answer [21:22] What should my BIOS be set to as far as PNP OS? That just get enabled for Windows only?Or do I enable that for Ubuntu as well? (I dont use Windows.) [21:22] antonsetiady: type update-rc.d gdm remove [21:22] anyone here has a 54 Mbs wireless router? [21:22] losher: it is an oldish disc but no the i/o errors arent a problem, the on off things is bugging me..i am stumped...i think i will try to install wicd [21:22] any idea oh how i can see if ubuntu detected my video card? [21:22] any tips? [21:22] CyberJack: is this relevant: http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mencoder-users/2008-February/008025.html [21:22] is there a search tool for Ubuntu like spotlight search on mac os x? [21:23] linuxguy2009, are you familiar with boot options ? [21:23] ok thx funkyHat [21:23] .. [21:23] *grub boot options [21:23] i installed ubuntu desktop from the mini iso, now everytime i press tab in gnom,-é' [21:23] ok thx funkyHat [21:23] No Im not.Are those things that you add to the grub stuff? [21:23] !info grub [21:23] linuxguy2009, yeah [21:23] grub (source: grub): GRand Unified Bootloader. In component main, is optional. Version 0.97-29ubuntu53 (jaunty), package size 394 kB, installed size 924 kB [21:23] i installed ubuntu desktop from the mini iso, now everytime i press tab in gnome-terminal etc. i get the super annoying system BEEEP how do i disable it? [21:23] alan_simmonds: in your place, I would be googling the nic model number for known driver incompatibilities with your OS version [21:23] Ok is there a way to disable the ACPI there maybe? [21:24] linuxguy2009, as a possible suggestion, you could try booting with pci=noacpi [21:24] aha cool [21:24] It is normal the speed changing from 54 to 36 and 24 Mbs? [21:24] hello, is it possible to make an e-legitimation with swedbank in ubuntu? [21:24] is there a search tool for Ubuntu like spotlight search on mac os x? [21:24] losher: it is a standard realtek card and it worked under ibex and for a few days worked under jaunty [21:24] on my laptop [21:24] and my router is 54 [21:24] why this happens [21:24] Is there a list of boot options online or on my install somewhere so that I can see all the other cool options? [21:24] i installed ubuntu desktop from the mini iso, now everytime i press tab in gnome-terminal etc. i get the super annoying system BEEEP how do i disable it? [21:24] losher: and i havent seen any issues with the card in my searches...been at it for 2 days now [21:25] guys, where can i find the file that shows in the main menu? i want to delete an entry but it doesn't get deleted. [21:25] losher: I haven't converted my subtitles to ssa/ass yet, but I can give it a try. [21:25] alan_simmonds: it worked then stopped? That's very odd. What else changed around that time? [21:25] gharz1: have you tried to right mouse click Applications and choose edit.. from there you should be able to delete [21:26] is there a search tool for Ubuntu like spotlight search on mac os x? [21:26] any ideas? [21:26] CyberJack: it's not clear to me their solution works for everyone. At your own risk. Perhaps a different encoder might be easier? [21:26] zaccour: there's lots of ways to search.. do you want to do it graphically or on the cli? [21:26] linuxguy2009, you could reference here for common boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Common%20Boot%20Options [21:26] scunizi, gui preferred [21:27] ok i got the drivers to work with my graphic card but when i watch vids on youtube i cant watch them in full screen [21:27] funkyhat: my internet attempted to play a sound it lagged out and became choppy and for some reason my wifi cut out too. [21:27] !package tracker | zaccour [21:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about package tracker [21:27] boo [21:27] losher: nothing really, i had installed wineasio, but only after a reboot did it descide to stop working [21:27] zaccour: you can right click the top bar in a blank area and "Add to Panel" .. in the menu that pops up you should find a search appelate to add to the panel [21:27] i click the little thing to make it go full screen but it will not do it [21:28] is it ok to upgrade from Feisty to Jaunty? [21:28] i installed ubuntu desktop from the mini iso, now everytime i press tab in gnome-terminal etc. i get the super annoying system BEEEP how do i disable it? [21:28] alan_simmonds: do you know if it still works back in windows? [21:28] search tracker tool don't work right. i tested it out. i typed pidgin, no results found. i typed gimp, still no results [21:28] losher: mencoder is the only program that will hardcode subtitles at good performance. the only alternative I found was avidemux, but it takes about 3 times longer to encode the same file. [21:28] Haraken: if you have a seperate /home and you want to make one single jump .. install fresh otherwise I'll have ubottu give you a link [21:28] !upgrade > Haraken [21:28] Haraken, please see my private message [21:28] i'm looking for something like spotlight search, meaning i type something i have and it brings it up on the list [21:29] funkyhat: I have no idea why my wifi cuts out with audio. [21:29] CyberJack: a slow workaround is better than no workaround at all... [21:29] Loganhoup: that does seem really odd :/ [21:29] linuxguy2009, if you scroll up that page, it will tell you how to add temporary/permanent boot options. Just remember 'pci=noacpi', reboot, try it, see if it works. If it does then make it permanent. If it doesn't, you can come back here and someone may look into it further. === john is now known as Guest43888 [21:29] My compiz-fusion seem to degrade over time since I installed jaunty, sometimes the lower panel disappears when I spin the cube, or apps minamize when I swich to a different cube face, as well as a few other minor issues, has anyone else ran into this same problem with jaunty?

[21:30] scunizi, thanks for the link [21:30] zaccour: that functionality might be in Gnome Do.. it's an add on appelate.. might even be in the repos http://do.davebsd.com/ [21:30] losher: thats true [21:30] Haraken, Intrepid Ibex [21:30] Haraken: np.. :) [21:30] particle_man: good job :] [21:30] Is there a disk check utility built into ubuntu? [21:30] ok :) [21:30] thanks [21:30] funkyhat:input and output were both pulseaudio, device was set to default. [21:30] lol [21:30] good thing that was the wrong password :) [21:30] pgimenez: it doesn't get deleted. i right clicked it and selected Delete but it still in the Main Menu [21:30] I just installed the Ubuntu Netbook Remix, and Switched to Classic Desktop. I removed the "maximise" setting, but all my windows are opening in a fixed position (top of screen). Where is the setting too fix this????? [21:30] smitts: you mean like a defrag tool? [21:30] thanks scunizi i'm checkin that out now [21:31] is there any xml or any text file which i can edit this? [21:31] smitts: fsck [21:31] particle_man: :P [21:31] IndyGunFreak, not defrag, I want to actually check for defects [21:31] speaking of which...I'm running 9.04, I have a GTX285 and Nvidia drivers 180 [21:31] smitts, fsck [21:31] CyberJack: if you're going to be doing this a lot, by all means hand patch mencoder source. But unless you're unused to doing such things, or it's a one-off encode, it might be more trouble than it's worth [21:31] oh ok... i'd have to imagine there is one.. [21:31] thanks guys [21:31] IndyGunFreak: is there actually a defrag tool for linux? [21:31] any help on that [21:31] but...on 1360x768 resolution it displays, but it's like it's trying to draw a bigger display than my monitor actually is [21:31] what program do i need to adjust/set CPU Frequency? [21:31] !fsck | smitts if you want to read more about it. [21:32] smitts if you want to read more about it.: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [21:32] no flash movie online will go full screen [21:32] sorry, accidentally quit.. did anyone replyu to me before? [21:32] zenxr: no.. thats why i was clarifying what he wanted. [21:32] my display stretches, and the left chunk is shoved off the screen [21:32] IndyGunFreak: :[ [21:32] zenxr: you really don't need one [21:32] which, as one might imagine, is rather annoying [21:32] !defrag > zenxr [21:32] zenxr, please see my private message [21:32] any thoughts? [21:32] I had to install menu-xdg before the Debian menu would appear, then I was able to get to my game in there. I guess it doesn't provide a .desktop menu entry. [21:32] losher: patching and compiling are no problem. My mencoder already has the -ass option, so I about to give it a try [21:32] CyberJack: unused -> used [21:32] gharz1 Just try to run it as root [21:33] CyberJack: ok, that's some progress at least [21:33] as root? how did you run it as root? [21:33] particle_man: that's what happened with a non-hd TV i wanted to use as a monitor a LONG time ago, make the resolution smaller unless you know for sure it's supported. If you know it's supported then change the monitor settings on the monitor itself [21:33] pgimenez: what command did you use? [21:33] zenxr-yeah...I've got a slightly older toshiba tv I'm running it on [21:33] through a DVI/VGA adapter [21:33] Can anyone give me any tips on using "pon" in Ubuntu ? [21:33] I just installed Ubuntu Netbook remix. I have swtiched to Classic Desktop mode, and turned maximizing off. But all applications open at the top of screen (fixed position). How can i disable this so it remembers where it was last closed??? [21:34] that said, according to the manual for the tv, 1360x768 is a supported resolution [21:34] and as much as it pains me to say so [21:34] it works in windows :P [21:34] Loganhoup: if you quit banshee and start it again now, do you get sound? (hopefully it won't break your wifi again :/) [21:34] no way to fix/no alternate drivers I can use? [21:34] how do i figure out what frequency my CPU is currently running at? [21:34] gharz1 on terminal sudo (wait a moment... trying to remember...) [21:34] Funkyhat: if it breaks at least you'll know why I left [21:34] particle_man: do you have an nvidia card? [21:34] I do [21:34] particle_man: which one? [21:34] EVGA gtx 285 [21:35] see above [21:35] ok [21:35] particle_man: and are you using the restricted drivers that came with ubuntu? [21:35] yeah [21:35] gharz1 sudo alacarte [21:35] I tried messing some with the configuration settings, but with no luck [21:35] ok [21:35] thanks [21:35] i'll try that one out [21:35] particle_man: install nvidia-settings and you should be able to auto detect that resolution and use it. I do when I run my laptop on the tv..

[21:36] nvidia-settings is already installed [21:36] Guys is there a log or something that can show me the errors that I get right before the desktop shows up? It only shows for a split second i just want to make sure its the ACPI that i think it is. [21:36] CyberJack: excellent. google to the rescue! [21:36] particle_man: use it [21:36] jeancalvin, I'm sure there is a gnome applet which will display the same information [21:36] !burn > killfill [21:37] killfill, please see my private message [21:37] My compiz-fusion seem to degrade over time since I installed jaunty, sometimes the lower panel disappears when I spin the cube, or apps minamize when I swich to a different cube face, as well as a few other minor issues, has anyone else ran into this same problem with jaunty? [21:37] particle_man i used Envy to install the nvidia drivers and stuff [21:37] autodetect left me at 1024x768 [21:37] scunizi, no i mean i have 1 ubuntu installed on a disk, i wish to plug 5 more hard disks and clone the one to the others [21:37] pgimenez: why is it that the entries when i'm using root is different when i run alacarte as a normal user? in a normal user... Other folder is showing MagicISO and Wine folder is there... while in root there is no MagicISO and the Wine folder isn't there. [21:38] killfill: ah.. partimage will do that.. there is a live cd called system rescue cd that has it on it.. [21:38] I am running it with an nvidia 7600gs 512MB video card and have the proprietary drivers intalled. [21:38] losher: I already read the post, but I never thought of converting my subtitles to ssa [21:38] particle_man do this oksudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup [21:38] particle_man: will it allow you to manually change it? [21:38] CyberJack: cool, so I added some value, even better....! [21:38] killfill: I also recomend Parted Magic live cd it also has part image on it.Thats what i use. [21:38] yes [21:39] particle_man: ok then.. :) [21:39] linuxguy2009, gnome log viewer will show all messages [21:39] greate thanks [21:39] particle_man do this sudo nvidia-xconfig [21:39] hey [21:39] ok [21:39] done [21:39] then go into sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [21:39] ibuclaw: Great is that a command on the CLI or is it in the menus somewhere? [21:39] Hi. I have a 'mother' (ubuntu-server) and a 'child' (openvz), but the child has'nt access to physical hardware (/dev/ttyS0). Any idea? Thanks [21:39] linuxguy2009, System->Administration->Log File Viewer [21:39] Hey, I'm having some issues with an nForce2 onboard audio and getting peculiar results from the tests I see to run online. I'd appreciate any help. PM? [21:40] alright [21:40] sweet [21:40] losher: it does, ive been try to fix it for 2 days [21:40] I just tried to do 'apt-get install debconf debconf-utils' on ubuntu dapper to update my debconf package [21:40] and set it in there what u want the default resolution to be [21:40] thanks [21:40] It completely broke [21:40] linuxguy2009, alternately, less /var/log/messages [21:40] http://pastebin.com/m51a7c2a1 [21:40] losher: at least with wicd i get flashy lights [21:40] linuxguy2009, and dmesg will show alot of useful kernel messages too. [21:40] any sufggestions on how to fix that? [21:40] Loganhoup: I guess it "worked"? [21:40] jason-now what? [21:40] is gnome-do updated by the ubuntu community? [21:40] gharz1 As root you have complete control of all menu entries. Did that work for you? [21:41] zaccour: no.. [21:41] funkyhat: Banshee claimed it was playing it. It didn't even give an error. My wifi broke (obviously), but similiar to banshee it thought it still had an internet connection. [21:41] after u set the one u want as default save [21:41] !latest | zaccour [21:41] zaccour: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. [21:41] My compiz-fusion seem to degrade over time since I installed jaunty, sometimes the lower panel disappears when I spin the cube, or apps minamize when I swich to a different cube face, as well as a few other minor issues, has anyone else ran into this same problem with jaunty? [21:41] funkyhat: I had to restart to get my connection back. [21:41] scunizi, do you know how to get to the repositories gui so i can insert these repositories so it will update? [21:41] ibuclaw: Is there a place that i can see all the boot options like you mentioned so i can see them all and know my options? such as the pci=noacpi sp? [21:41] then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [21:41] I'm having issues with getting reponses from a nForce2 onboard audio. I'm getting peculiar results from the tests I run. Any help? PM? Thanks [21:42] any sufggestions on how to fix this? >> http://pastebin.com/m51a7c2a1 [21:42] pgimenez: yes it did... but when i checked the entries Wine folder isn't there and MagicISO is not in the Other anymore... but when i open alacarte using a normal user... wine-wine folder appears and MagicISO is in the Other folder [21:42] zaccour: it's on their site.. here's the link for the PPA (Personal Package Archive) on launchpad .. https://launchpad.net/~do-core/+archive/ppa [21:42] thanks [21:43] I used to be able to my mount my windows partition by just selecting it in Nautilus. Now it says "Cannot mount volume. You are not privileged to mount this volume". Does anyone know how I can fix this? [21:43] i got ubuntu 32bit os installed on a 64bit computer [21:43] zaccour: if you're running jaunty 9.04 then the repos listed will work.. if you're running something prior you'll have to build from source [21:43] gharz1 Wow, don't know why!!! [21:43] alan_simmonds: sorry, I'm out of ideas on this one... [21:43] can anyone give me an opinion on whether Ubuntu 9.04 UNR is better or EEEBuntu is better for an Asus EEE 1000HE [21:44] zaccour: actually I'm wrong there.. they have repos for the different current versions of ubuntu [21:44] scunizi, 9.04 here, so it should update fine? [21:44] oh ok [21:44] Loganhoup: something's really fishy here :/ are there any other bits that you've played with, like alsa config or something else (not that I'm suggesting you caused it, just in case there is something)? [21:44] I'm having peculiar results from Ubuntu 9.04 for an nForce2 onboard audio. Any help would be appreciated. PM? Thanks. [21:44] any suggestions on how to fix this? >> http://pastebin.com/m51a7c2a1 [21:44] zaccour: yes.. follow their instructions for adding the repo's and the openpgp key.. then sudo apt-get update in terminal.. [21:44] losher>: no worries [21:44] My compiz-fusion seem to degrade over time since I installed jaunty, sometimes the lower panel disappears when I spin the cube, or apps minamize when I swich to a different cube face, as well as a few other minor issues, has anyone else ran into this same problem with jaunty? [21:45] funkyhat: === exodus_ms is now known as exodus_ms|tullah [21:45] scunizi, the instructions don't make a lot of sense [21:45] linuxguy2009, I suppose O'Reilly's Linux Kernel in a nutshell has a good list: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/lkn/lkn_pdf/ch09.pdf [21:45] theaaron go here it tell u how http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindows [21:45] funkyhat: sorry finger hit enter on accident [21:45] not sure how old it is though. [21:45] pgimenez: yeah... i'm even surprised! [21:45] ibuclaw: Thank you === exodus_ms|tullah is now known as exodus_ms|MidTN [21:45] funkyhat: I've done almost everything in this guide http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup. Other than that I can't think of anything [21:45] i just wanna know where i can find alacarte's entries [21:46] linuxguy2009, the Ubuntu Help documentation should be sufficient enough though. You don't really need to ever stray beyond the most common options. [21:46] How can make opera use the ubuntu skin, cause the menu in the top (file, edit.. etc) is looking very windowish :/ [21:46] ibuclaw: What log should i be checking to see that error message that appears before the desktop comes up? I cant find it so far. [21:46] ok [21:46] is the 64bit ubuntu os better than the 32bit [21:46] how do i get to the repositories? i forgot [21:46] jason: 32 is more supported [21:46] ok [21:46] jason thanks, but I think that tool is actually what caused the mounting problem I'm having now. I just want to be able to mount the partition by clicking it, and not have to resort to the force mounting trick. [21:46] any suggestions on how to fix this for ubuntu-dapper? >> http://pastebin.com/m51a7c2a1 [21:46] Is the ACPI a common issue? [21:46] how do i get online flash vids to go full screen [21:46] zaccour: typical.. in terminal type .. gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list .. then cut and paste the two lines listed on the web page to the bottom of the open file. save and close.. then click the "Follow these instructions" link on the page for the key.. [21:47] funkyhat: If I didn't tell you already I use wicd. But I recall it breaking my wifi even when pulseaudio wouldnt connect and I had network manager installed. [21:47] Loganhoup: have you put yourself in any pulse-related groups? [21:47] scunizi, thanks [21:47] Hi. I have a 'mother' (ubuntu-server) and a 'child' (openvz), but the child has'nt access to physical hardware (/dev/ttyS0). Any idea?

I got rid of a partition so now I want to add this space to Ubuntu as a non-extended partion... any suggestions? [21:57] Loganhoup: it might be that pulseaudio isn't running again, try starting it [21:57] pulseaudio -D [21:57] jason you can't or you can?

[21:58] Loganhoup: the daemon isn't in your notification area. padevchooser might be [21:58] losher thanks [21:58] boss_mc++ [21:59] Loganhoup: yeah, try removing .asoundrc, although I doubt it will help (perhaps just move it to .asoundrc.old [21:59] MK13: otherwise you'll want to do a backup of the partition and undo the backup after [21:59] !backups | MK13 [21:59] MK13: There are many ways to back your system up.

[22:00] whats up === Bob is now known as Guest14793 [22:00] Gparted is a partition tool [22:01] boss_mc, not really, no ... although I've copied an image into a filesystem that was 293 bytes too small :P [22:01] Loganhoup: fair enough, although might be worth trying to kill pulseaudio and start it again like we did before too [22:01] jason, i know... i have the Gparted live-cd :) [22:01] ibuclaw: if you're lucky the last few bytes were unused anyway... [22:01] ok MK13 [22:01] well, I still get no sound from banshee and it still claims its playing it. Although this time it didn't kill my wifi. [22:01] thanks, guys, for the help [22:02] good night [22:02] so that did something. [22:02] Loganhoup: I'm in here quite a bit at the moment so if you don't get it sorted and want to try another day hilight me (though I don't promise to respond right away) [22:02] this chat for ubuntu [22:02] Guest14793: yep [22:02] I have a problem with partitions. When i try to install windows xp in the partition select menu, the setup says it can't find partition that is supported by windows. I think the problem is I dont have primary partition, only extended :? [22:02] oh fun [22:02] Loganhoup: progress I guess! do you see banshee in the pavucontrol thing (click the padevchooser and click volume control)? [22:02] Guest14793, this is a support channel. offtopic is in another room [22:03] Loganhoup: definitely sounds like pulseaudio-rt was causing more trouble than it's worth [22:03] is the server here: irc.ubuntu.net ??? [22:03] funkyhat: I moved the stream to another device and it I can hear it now. [22:04] Loganhoup: ok! do you have an onboard soundcard that you're not using? [22:04] in pavucontrol [22:04] so fil there isnt a way to fix that [22:05] funkyhat: I don't quite understand [22:05] Loganhoup: oh it's a laptop, sorry [22:05] Yes [22:05] Loganhoup: which device was it using before? [22:05] jason are you using firefox? [22:05] funkyhat: RTP multicast sink [22:06] Loganhoup: that's used to output the sound to the network [22:06] Loganhoup: to be picked up by another copy of PulseAudio [22:06] Soren__, this server is irc.freenode.net and irc.ubuntu.com [22:06] Loganhoup: ah ok. strange. Well, pulseaudio remembers which device each application is playing to and puts it back on the same one each time, so perhaps it got set to that by mistake (or when you wre trying to get it working) at some point [22:06] yes fil [22:06] funkyhat: I moved it to simultaneous output to ATI IXP [22:06] Loganhoup: any other apps with non-working sound now? [22:07] i have firefox thats the only web browser i use [22:07] Soren__, take your pick which one you log into, you'll end up in the same place [22:07] you guys any good with linux [22:07] hey i have a file .iso how can i play it on vlc [22:07] Guest14793, are you wanting to ask a question? [22:07] jason so do you have effects enabled (compiz) [22:07] Loganhoup: you could move it to the other ATI output, I'm not sure but simultaneous output might be a bit of a performance drain (although only very small) [22:07] nope [22:07] i got them disabled [22:08] funyhat: audacious did it but doing the same Thing I did with banshee fixed it [22:08] Loganhoup: great :) [22:08] Soren___, I suppose that answered your question then? :P [22:08] Funkyhat: Thank you so much. [22:08] Loganhoup: and flash sound is still working right? [22:08] Funkyhat: One sec. [22:08] fil if i enable it would that help [22:08] yup, ty [22:09] how do I use sudo along with redirection like '>>'?

[22:09] i just tried to burn a 9.04 dvd using k3b but it had an internal error while checking the data after it was finished. is there anyway to do this manually before i try to use the dvd for a fresh install? [22:09] sevenseeker: use tee -a i.e. echo whatever | sudo tee -a /etc/eggs [22:09] it just dont go full screen [22:10] it just stays little [22:10] funkyhat: yes it works great [22:10] will someone be able to help me re-install XP on my Dual Boot HDD === nicolas_ is now known as Guest92559 [22:10] sevenseeker: no, because you're running 'spam' as root, but not the shell, you need to do 'spam | sudo cat >> /etc/eggs' [22:10] jason, stays little in fullscreen mode and then exits? [22:10] Loganhoup: great :) [22:10] nope it doesnt even try to go full screen fil [22:10] aha, thanks guys (funkyHat and erUSUL) [22:11] sevenseeker: although my command may fail because I didn't really think about it :) [22:11] np [22:11] funkyhat: The video seems just a tad laggy. [22:11] funkyhat: other than that great [22:11] but if gave me ideas so its good :) [22:11] Loganhoup: is this a new thing? [22:11] Loganhoup: which grahpics card? [22:12] (this may be a very quick fix thing) [22:12] funkyhat: disregard the last comment. I think it was having trouble buffering it for a sec [22:12] Loganhoup: ah, great :) [22:12] I have alot open trying to make sure it all works [22:13] Again, thanks so much.

[23:10] zaccour: it is in the universe repository that is community supported [23:10] erUSUL, oh ok thanks [23:10] zaccour, cairo-dock is a MacOS X -like dock for the gnome desktop, see www.cairo-dock.org [23:10] zaccour: you don't have to add anything, but you may need to enable it [23:10] bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee [23:10] guest_: welcome to teh internets [23:10] is there a way to set the default size of the gnome-terminal when it's being opened by the "Run a terminal" keyboard shortcut? [23:10] My ubuntu server started to use a ip from an interface it shoudl not use (an alias, not the main interface address) for all outgoing traffic [23:11] guest: stop spamming and/or typing like a moron. [23:11] how can I tune it? [23:11] bye! bye! bye! bye! bye! [23:11] lol [23:11] bye [23:11] pisi_: maybe #ubuntu-server is better for your problem [23:11] bazhang, cheers [23:12] how can i start ubuntu with command prompt [23:12] too late here, going to sleeeep bbye all [23:13] onaogh: don't let the incredibly huge, venemous bed bugs bite [23:13] losher an md5sum check of the downloaded iso does not match the one on the ubuntu torrents page but does match several mirror sites via a google search. i dl'd it at launch and am only now using it, is it probably okay? [23:13] hi all. have an interesting problem. gpu is fudged so black is now green, and white is bright pink [23:14] my question is, is there anyway to swap the colors outputed? [23:15] hola [23:15] amigos alguien sabe instalar gfxboot en jaunty [23:15] stickboy: yes. its ok to use. You will get any recent changes when you update after install [23:15] schweppp: give me a second [23:15] !es | ntec [23:15] ntec: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [23:15] ok that's what i figured, thanks again losher. [23:16] stickboy: good luck! [23:16] Hey all, I have a quick question. I was trying to install grub2, and I chain-loaded it with grub, and it didn [23:16] didn't work [23:17] Anyone know how to revert back to grub [23:17] landong: you mean when you chainload into grub2 none of the entries work? [23:17] Yeah [23:17] I haven't finalized, but I can't go back to grub1 [23:18] landong: yeah, grub2 mangles the uuid's when first installed. If you fix them, it will work [23:18] schweppp: check the contrast on your monitor [23:18] schweppp: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070415203500AAHtDLd [23:18] nith: Yeah, but I can't log into ubuntu [23:19] hi. I set hostname to be myBox.. but it's still appearing root@vps instead of root@myBox in bash why. [23:19] mman: have you restarted? [23:19] landong: you said that you could not boot after chainloading, do you mean you cannot boot at all? [23:19] no.. [23:19] cheers zenxr, but not the problem [23:19] ive been looking at xact and argyll, but am having no luck [23:19] mman: try rebooting. If it doesn't fix it we'll try something else [23:20] nith: Yeah, the only screen I get is the GRUB2 screen and none of the options work, therefore I can't boot anything [23:20] schweppp: is the whole desktop like that or just certain windows? [23:20] question: is there any way to rotate your screen without opening a terminal and typing in xrandr with params? [23:20] the whole screen. my graphics card is toast [23:20] marcus_aurelius: pick it up and flip it over XD [23:21] schweppp: that sucks. why not buy another card? [23:21] why I can't put a DOT in the hostname? [23:21] landong: ahh, I understand. When booting, when it asks you to choose an option, hit "c" to go to a command terminal [23:21] xd? [23:21] schweppp: this will work for sure...http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=149539 [23:22] marcus_aurelius, what vid adapter software you have? ATI, Nvidia? [23:22] mman: it is against the rules [23:22] marcus_aurelius, it's a smiley. [23:22] nith: K [23:22] how can i stop X on a single monitor ??? [23:22] landong: next, set the root to wherever you installed ubuntu to - if dual booting windows, likely "root (hd0,1)" or something similar [23:22] screw the rules [23:22] I think it's...2 [23:22] I have os x, then shared, then ubuntu [23:22] Hello, i made mistake in my shell script, and erased my whole home dir (Ubuntu 9.04). I have a backup which is on Ubuntu 8.04. Would it be OK if i copy home dir from 8.04 to 9.04 (mostly i am concerned about config files and folders in home)? And what about programs that are additionally installed on 9.04 and are not on 8.04, would their config files and folders be recreated? Thanks. [23:22] Might be 3 thouggh [23:23] SeaPhor, nvidia, already have the option in my xorg.conf, it works, just wondered if there's a gnome something-or-other that will do the trick [23:23] nith: But anyway, did that [23:23] landong: next, manually enter in your kernel params, mine are /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-12-generic root=UUID= ro quiet splash [23:23] try Nvidia settings from the System Adavanced [23:23] landong: grub2 gives you a few new utilities such as grabbing uuids and such [23:23] hello [23:23] try Nvidia settings from the System Adavanced marcus_aurelius [23:24] my XP is hosed, how do I use Ubuntu to copy files on the XP partition to CDs [23:24] landong: tap tab twice to see them [23:24] nith: Is your uuid 1000 by default? [23:24] afraid not zen. see all the other colors are fine, but black is displayed as green, and white as pink. i want to find someway of changing black to slightly off black, and same for white [23:24] landong: no, my uuid's are quite long [23:24] marcus_aurelius, or type nvidia-settings from the terminal [23:24] could anyone help me finish up getting my webcam working? i got it so i can record with ffmpeg but i can't seam to get any apps to view it from /dev/video0 [23:24] schweppp_: ahhh, so sorry but I have no idea on how to do that.. [23:24] landong: I think you can also use "root=/dev/sda2" or similar [23:24] Soren123: just mount it in ubuntu and burn them to cd? [23:24] SeaPhor, oh, duh [23:24] Soren123: You mean to copy from XP to CD's with Ubuntu? [23:24] nith: Hmm...okay [23:25] Q: When I listen music with my Headphone, the sound comes out also from computer device. How can I shutdown the sound from computer device? [23:25] chetnick: my guess is at this point it's worth a try. "yes" on your latter question, but you will have lost any previous settings, etc. [23:25] once you've got a kernel line of your choice, do "initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-12-generic" [23:25] then type "boot" [23:25] marcus_aurelius, if you dont have it just sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings [23:25] could anyone help me finish up getting my webcam working? i got it so i can record with ffmpeg but i can't seam to get any apps to view it from /dev/video0 zoneminder is blank [23:25] Nophiq: you can manually shut it down with the 'alsamixer' command [23:25] chetnick, I have files that are used in XP........My Documents............ I am in Ubuntu and would like to burn CDs of those files [23:26] chetnick: also, if you're a command line sort of person, check out rsnapshot [23:26] landong: if all goes well, you'll boot ubuntu and can remove/fix grub2 as you see fit [23:26] Nophiq: find it in your Volume Control and turn the device to mute [23:26] Says my linux kernel must be loaded before initrd [23:26] bc: i know my backup is setup just the way i want. I am just worried about copying from 8.04 to 9.04. Is that going to be an issue or no? [23:26] muse: which tab? [23:26] does anyone know of a package/project that lets you connect one computer to another via USB and have one act as a USB storage device? [23:27] nith: does it have to be usb? [23:27] Nophiq: turn some music and and start messing around until you find which one it is === |Zippo|_ is now known as |Zippo| [23:27] zenxr: yes [23:27] nith: nvm :p [23:27] chetnick: I'm not completely positive. I would imagine new versions in 9.04 would gracefully handle old configuration files (logically, since the same thing would occur if you upgraded). That's only a guess though. [23:27] zenxr: thx anyway :) [23:27] Nophiq: I don't know what you setup is so I counld tell you [23:27] I have files that are used in XP........My Documents.......the drivers in XP are hosed.... I am in Ubuntu and would like to burn CDs of those files [23:27] how to i get those snowflakes off the screen for cairo-dock, its on auto hide but i still see the flakes [23:28] Soren123: Just boot Ubuntu, go to Places Home folder. And on the lafte side pane you will see your NTFS partition, open it. Then, application > accessories > CD/DVD creator. And just burn th files. [23:28] muse: ok, thank you [23:28] marcus_aurelius, I believe you can also assign short-cut key combo to it but never did myself [23:28] bc: htanks [23:28] thanks* [23:28] chetnick, ty [23:28] trying to install ubuntu 9.04 server edition on a pc. The PC has 4 drives in a raid 5 config using the onboard intel raid. The setup detects there are raided drives but it doesn't list any of the existing partitions (windows) or give me the option to create/modify partitions. Anyone have any ideas what's going on? [23:29] how can I use static address to connect wirelessly [23:29] chetnick: by the way, you're just talking about $HOME right, and not /etc? I wouldn't try it for /etc, but for $HOME I would [23:29] how can I access my connection settings? [23:30] landong: any luck? [23:30] muse: I can't solve the problem from volume control panel [23:30] how to i get those snowflakes off the screen for cairo-dock, its on auto hide but i still see the flakes [23:30] GaveUp: if you are using a hardware raid you should not be able to see your raid [23:30] bc: just $home [23:30] muse: it's the intel matrix pseudo-raid ... [23:30] Linuz2009: Right click the wireless indicator on the top left of the screen and select edit connections [23:30] muse: not full hardware raid [23:30] Linuz2009: Sorry top right [23:30] ah [23:31] nith: not really [23:31] nith: I'm trying to figure it out, but it's not working [23:31] Nophiq: have you tried going to preferences and adding some extra devices to your mess around with [23:32] Nophiq: I am sure you will run into it eventually [23:32] nith: You wanted me to change the root, then change the kernel, then run initrd [23:32] SeaPhor, nvidia server settings worked great, compiz desktop cube looks pretty freaky that tall and thin [23:32] jimlovell777: I can't find the option for static address. [23:32] landong: yes [23:32] I feel like it's my uuid [23:32] landong: alternatively, find the uuid of your ubuntu drive and 'e' on the first entry, modifying the uuid [23:32] GaveUp: I can't you there sorry.. I only have a real hardware raid to mess with.. [23:32] marcus_aurelius, so you're all good now? [23:32] Linuz2009: From the edit connections dialog select the wireless tab, click the SSID of the network you connect to and click edit. [23:32] is it possible to network ubuntu and vista [23:33] could anyone help me finish up getting my webcam working? i got it so i can record with ffmpeg but i can't seam to get any apps to view it from /dev/video0 zoneminder is blank [23:33] SeaPhor, i'm good, thanks [23:33] <christopher> is it possible to network ubuntu and vista <-- samba? [23:33] nith:How do I find my uuid [23:33] Linuz2009: click on the connection you want to edit. Click on Edit Connection, Click on IPv$ Settings [23:33] marcus_aurelius, NP [23:33] ah [23:33] I think [23:33] landong: does 'ls' work? I think it gives you the devices in grub2 [23:33] Linuz2009: Once you've done that click on IPv4 settings and click the method dropdown box. Choose manual. [23:33] Nope [23:34] muse: one of these days I'll be able to afford a hardware raid solution ... but until then gotta make do with what I've got [23:35] GaveUp: I would use ubuntu's software raid instead.. I have had no problems and it seems to work just as well as my hardware raid. [23:35] landong: if not, then just edit the first entry and use root=/dev/sda1 and replace sda1 with your ubuntu partition [23:35] that might be easier [23:35] it's been a long time since I futzed with this;sorry [23:35] GaveUp: for some things people could even argue that software raid is better than a hardware solution [23:35] christopher: zhurai: yes, samba (aka cifs) [23:35] nith: That's what I've been trying to do. I change my root to (hd0,2) and change my root to /dev/sda2 [23:36] !samba | christopher [23:36] christopher: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [23:36] Oh, but I guess that would be sda2 right [23:36] i just installed samba4 [23:36] landong: should be [23:36] I mean 3 [23:36] Doesnt sda start at 1, not 0? [23:36] Hahaha, sorry, I'm on a really small computer and it's really tough to type [23:37] landong: yes [23:37] nith: Still says unrecognized device string [23:37] anyone please help me with my webcam please message me [23:37] hm.. i just installed ume, and have disable it from startup. [23:37] muse: i know about the softraid ... problem is that shoots me in the foot for dual booting ... that's why it's not an option :/ [23:37] nith: Thhen it goes back to that stupid uuid [23:37] i noticed it has deleter the applet at the right upper corne [23:37] where you can reboot, halt, etc [23:38] vapor: What's your issue? [23:38] how do i get it back? [23:38] landong: let me reinstall grub2; I'll be back in a few minutes [23:38] can you get Adobe Shockwave Player for ubuntu? [23:38] nith: Cool, thanks [23:38] What is the package name for the Opera browser? [23:38] as far as I know, no caty [23:38] caty: No, adobe has no version of it for Linux. [23:39] ok, thanks [23:39] landong, sudo vol_id --uuid /dev/sdbx [23:39] caty, no. unforunately. [23:39] anyone is using hdaps on jaunty? [23:39] GaveUp: hmm.. I don't use windows much but I do have a 40gb separate harddisk that I can boot into from grub. Win like its own harddisk anyway and the old stock hd are going for nothing. [23:39] my fs crashed today heavilly without any reason [23:39] Is anyone here using OpenBox or Crunchbang? [23:39] landong, x being the partition/drive [23:39] can anyone help me with FCEUltra or mednafen? [23:39] i need them to output sound over my digital output on an Audigy card [23:40] :S [23:40] muse: right...but that means then the array can't be used for storage in windows... so yeah...softraid just isn't the right option here [23:40] here we go [23:40] in mednafen i'm using the -sounddevice "sexyal-literal-default" but i'm not getting any sound [23:41] how do i get back the reboot menu?... i lost it.. :S [23:41] Anybody here running 9.04 on a Macbook Unibody? === geo is now known as geo05 === glukobrassizin is now known as gluko [23:41] Zzeiss: why downgrade your mac? [23:42] Zzeiss, you know the MAC runs on a BSD? [23:42] SirStan: Because I prefer open source? Because I trust only what I can read? Because I'm a yoyo? [23:42] GaveUp: I see.. sorry couldn't help you :( [23:42] could anyone help me finish up getting my webcam working? i got it so i can record with ffmpeg but i can't seam to get any apps to view it from /dev/video0 zoneminder is blank [23:42] Zzeiss: darwin is open source? [23:43] Zzeiss: I applaud your choice, well done sir. [23:43] mechdave: OSX runs Darwin, which started out open source and isn't any longer. [23:43] its not in the applet list.. :S [23:43] SeaPhor: Sorry, what? [23:43] nith: Any luck? [23:43] where do i find thesynaptic package manager [23:43] or what about FCEUltra dumping sound over digital out? [23:43] SiDi: The integrity was good, we checked the MD5 Sums [23:43] But, that said, I am having trouble with the Bluetooth, and if someone else is running 9.04 and has bluetooth running, I'd like to compare lsusb and lspci, to see if I'm just missing a driver or something. [23:43]  [23:44] landong, sudo vol_id --uuid /dev/sdbx [23:44] landong, x being the partition/drive [23:44] christopher: System -> Administration -> Synaptic [23:44] ok [23:44] Zzeiss, still you can use it the same as a unix box AFAIK [23:44] Kitsune-san, then if your drive seems to fail with several CD's, it could be the drive that is dying. Do you have an ISO that you know to have worked in the past ? === Mau_Restor is now known as mau_restor [23:44] mechdave: Mostly. Assuming what you want to do is in their /usr/bin. [23:45] SeaPhor: Thanks, but I can't run that command line from the grub 2 command line [23:45] jimlovell777: can you tell me what this command, gksu gedit /etc/init.dlrc [23:45] Its only limited bash [23:45] landong, ahhhh [23:45] ubuntu sucks [23:45] Hey Everybody [23:45] so I was wonder ... can I install KDE along with gnome or does one need to replace the other [23:46] IS there a help ticket? [23:46] Can screen or anything like it be used to detach and reattach gui apps between X servers? [23:46] nith: found my uuid I think [23:46] or i just ask? [23:46] It's just the command uuid [23:46] hey [23:46] jimlovell777: is this a optimizing command [23:46] ? [23:46] SiDi: yes, we managed to install Vista (forgive us please :p) about 6 months back [23:46] logankoester: I don't think so. the $DISPLAY variable of a gui app tells it where to display. [23:46] Dave Matthews Band - everyone? [23:46] is anyone using fceultra or mednafen and have digital sound working? [23:46] Linuz20091: It should be gksudo gedit /etc/init.d/ [23:46] donavan01: you can install kubuntu-desktop and choose that on login [23:46] Zzeiss: Yeah, but once the app is launched it's bound to it, yeah? [23:47] felix__? [23:47] yes it rocks .. i haven't listend to them in a while [23:47] Kitsune-san, see if it still works now :P Did you try several times with ubuntu/fedora and had different failures, or always the same one ? [23:47] Kitsune-san, another way would be to install via USB or network [23:47] landong: hey, you still here? [23:47] macman: new album in 10 days [23:47] SiDi: ubuntu always gave the same error and fedora always gave the same error [23:47] hi Soren123 [23:47] Basically I'm using remote x on a headless server and would like to be able to disconnect without killing my apps [23:47] rofl.. just installed wndows7 on my laptop. the install works fine, it has drivers for wireless (but not sired network, or sound, or probably most other things) then on the next boot it slows to a complete crawl and eventually locks up. Twice. [23:47] SiDi: over network? How could I do that? [23:47] did you sleep? [23:47] logankoester: Pretty much, yeah. Once $DISPLAY is evaluated it doesn't get reevaluated. Usually. At least most apps don't. [23:47] nith: yep [23:47] right [23:47] bummer [23:48] landong, you may have to do df -a and then cd to that, cd /dev/sdx and then do uuid [23:48] my wireless ahteros card dissapeared after i rebooted from a succesfull ubuntu JJ 64 bit install [23:48] (twice as in I've done a fresh install twice, and it's done the same thing twice) [23:48] nith: Did the command line uuid to find my uuid for my ext3 drive [23:48] Vcooliol I already have ubuntu running 8.10 and I dont really wanna get rid of it I just want KDE too so I can learn it [23:48] landong: is it showing you something like "/boot/grub/core.img" ? [23:48] What's the command that switches displays, corresponding to CTRL-ALT-Fn? [23:48] Zzeiss: I guess the way to do that would be to run an X server locally and then vnc into it [23:48] df-a is an unrecognized command [23:48] yes Soren123 i slept and woke up by 17:00. [23:48] logankoester: oooh, nice solution! Yes, do it that way. [23:48] donavan01: that's what I meant; you keep everything else, it just adds the option to login into kde; you like it you stay, you don't like it you logout and login into gnome again [23:49] Nah :) It was just a passing curiosity [23:49] jimlovell777: then how this command, sudo killall gdm [23:49] Everything I really need can be done with ncurses [23:49] landong: it's df space -a [23:49] thanks for your help [23:49] * SeaPhor :-( hates simple bash marcus_aurelius [23:49] landong: so when I installed, it showed me "root " and "kernel /boot/grub/core.img" and gave me "unrecognized device string" [23:49] nith: I know, but it didn't matter [23:49] nith: Yeah... [23:49] nith: wait, maybe [23:49] vol_id -uuid /dev/foo [23:50] how do i join a python channel? [23:50] landong: i went to the "root" line, hit 'e' and changed it to be "root (hd0,1)" and hit enter (escape undoes whatever changes you made) [23:50] Vcooliol: so what do it do download kbutuntu iso and run the installer like I was doing a fresh install [23:50] SiDi: the Fedora error (if it matters) was something like 'unable to find root directory' and we were then dropped to a terminal. We symlinked the directories it asked (/ and /dev/root) but it still failed [23:50] Yeah [23:50] landong: then I hit 'b' and it loaded grub2 properly [23:50] uukrul, /join #python [23:50] ty [23:50] zcat[1], its --uuid, and he's in basic bash [23:50] landong: it appears that it was grub1 before that though, all my nice commands weren't there [23:50] my wireless ahteros card dissapeared after i rebooted from a succesfull ubuntu JJ 64 bit install [23:50] SeaPhor: df doesn't give uuids? === _Floops is now known as FloopsV6 [23:50] that doesn't seem to be workoing [23:50] felix__, I a burning CDs of Xp files in Ubuntu because XP is so hosed it cannot even see a blank disk in the drive [23:51] nith: ohh, you hit b? [23:51] Oh [23:51] donavan01: no, it's a package in synaptic, install that, logout and in the login screen there's the option to login into kde (maybe it needs reboot, but guess not). Find a howto on ubuntuforums if you're not sure [23:51] Hahaha, I guess that would make sense [23:51] DMB? [23:51] landong: yes, sorry I forgot to mention that previously [23:51] zcat[1], not that i have found [23:51] landong: it's been a long time since I did that [23:51] nith: Hahaha, that makes sense [23:51] nith: And now it works [23:51] DMB - anyone?? [23:51] landong: enjoy! :) [23:51] I kept hitting escape to get back to the screen where I could mess with hitting enter [23:51] Oh- and the last reason I prefer Linux to OSX is that the tradition in Linux is that apps are _free_. One guy I was talking to today spent $500 for CS4, and so he _has_ to run Windows- because he can't afford CS4 for his Mac. That. Just. Sucks. [23:52] donavan01: kubuntu-desktop will ask to install a lot of other packages, all sort of kde-apps. So it will take a few hundred Mb [23:52] nith: Thanks a lot man! I was getting scared for a second :P [23:52] Goodbye Grub2 [23:52] landong: when I first had these issues, I did the same thing [23:52] Hello [23:52] hi [23:52] Do you use grub2? [23:52] I want to know how to make my connection to my router more faster. [23:52] !hi [23:52] I changed from Kubuntu back to Ubuntu with GNOME, and the usplash displayed when it halts changed, but the usplash displayed when it boots is still the Kubuntu version! [23:52] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [23:52] Vcooliol: gotcha I will give it a try ... thanks for the help [23:52] How do I fix this? [23:52] landong: yes, i think its much better; the install package for ubuntu doesn't work great though [23:52] why do i see only 3gb ram on jaunty i386? [23:52] Zzeiss, you should of told him about GIMP! [23:52] ;) [23:52] 2nd call: Anybody here running Ubuntu on a MacBook ? [23:52] how install client irc irssi? [23:53] landong: grub is out-dated, grub2 is a total rewrite [23:53] Linuz20091: In what sense? How do you know it can be faster? Is it wireless 802.11 B G Draft n? [23:53] matzabal, sudo aptitude install irssi [23:53] matzabal: sudo apt-get install irssi [23:53] f [23:53] eseven73: I did. He knows about Ubuntu Studio even. [23:53] matzabal: apt-get install irssi [23:53] kraut .... how big is your graphics card [23:53] nith: That's why I wanted to switch, but I wasn't sure [23:53] landong: that said, the ubuntu package botches initial install and also kernel upgrades [23:53] Kitsune-san: thanks [23:53] macman_: thanks [23:53] :D [23:53] donavan01: it has dedicated memory [23:53] np ^^ [23:53] nith: So if I wanted to keep grub2, where do you think I should go from here? [23:53] jimlovell777: what I trying to say is when I boot my computer it takes time to connect to my router so is there a way to speed up the connection [23:54] How do I get the boot usplash to change? [23:54] kraut .... I figured but if its a 1gb card then your only going to see 3 gb or ram on a 32bit OS .... 4gb is the limit [23:54] landong: you could experiment with some of the modules, but it depends how much you want to play with it. [23:54] Linuz20091: The time it takes to connect or the connection transfer rate? [23:54] my wireless ahteros card dissapeared after i rebooted from a succesfull ubuntu JJ 64 bit install [23:54] jimlovell777: yeah [23:54] donavan01: i know, and i got 4. i should see them [23:54] Linuz20091: Which one? [23:54] DMB? [23:55] landong: just a note, if you install a new kernel or uninstall an old one, you may need to comment out the line in /etc/kernel/prerm.d/last-good-boot === Carlos is now known as Guest68494 [23:55] How do I change the usplash back to the Ubuntu version? [23:55] donavan01: it's a nvidia nvs vga [23:55] nith: If I could get my boots working, then I wouldn't mind switching, but I have to do that first [23:55] landong, also the comand i gave was wrong, should be sudo vol_id --uuid /dev/sdxx as in sdb3 or sda2 [23:55] nith: I gotcha, do you like it? Worth it? [23:55] jimlovell777: uhhh a wireless connection [23:55] Does anyone listen to Dave Matthews Band? [23:56] I have a problem with usplash... [23:56] SeaPhor: Hahahaa, thanks man, luckily I think we figured it out [23:56] landong: yes, it's definitely worth it [23:56] !ot | kklitgaard [23:56] kklitgaard: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [23:56] sorry [23:56] uukrul, /join ##python [23:56] I changed from Kubuntu back to Ubuntu with GNOME, and the usplash displayed when it halts changed, but the usplash displayed when it boots is still the Kubuntu version! [23:56] woddf2: is there a file /usr/lib/usplash/usplash-theme-ubuntu.so on your system? [23:56] Linuz20091: I asked which you wanted to speed up, the wireless transfer time OR the time it takes to make the connection to the router, on bootup as you mentioned [23:56] hey guys, anyone know of a good guide i can follow to setup a vbox? [23:56] VCoolio1: I think so [23:56] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [23:56] metacity: Depends: libmetacity0 (= ?= 1:2.25.8) but 1:2.25.144-0ubuntu2 is installed [23:56] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1168130 Any help? [23:56] Hmm...I'll trust you and see what I can do, but how do I go about making it permanent? [23:57] jimlovell777: oh the time it takes to connect, the transfer rate [23:57] myxo_ : What's a vbox? [23:57] Zzeiss, VirtualBox [23:57] landong: I've modified /boot/grub/menu.lst to use 'root (hd0,1)' instead and I'm about to test it [23:57] that's the one you need. Easy way is install startupmanager, use that to change usplash [23:57] woddf2: ^ [23:57] kraut if you have 4gb of ram and say 1 gb of vram you computer may only register a total of 4 gb ... so even if you had 8gb of ram and a 1gb vram it will still only show you having 3gb of ram ... I found this out the hard way ... check with your mobo manufacture ... some of the chipsets (i945p for sure has this problem) [23:57] woddf2: sudo update-usplash ubuntu [23:57] myxo: VirtualBox is _easy_. No guide necessary; if you want I will walk you thru it. [23:58] woddf2: sudo update-usplash kubuntu (depdngind which whatyou want to go) [23:58] DCC SEND 0100 START KEYLOGGER [23:58] sladen: Command not found [23:58] myxo: do you have an OS ISO that you want to install? [23:58] I did see update-usplash-theme... [23:58] kraut it may be something completely different but I figured I would through that out there just incase thats the problem .... hate to see you fight a no win battle [23:58] woddf2: sorry, sudo update-usplash-theme ubuntu [23:58] landong: I ran upgrade-from-grub-legacy; I'm going to restart [23:58] brb [23:59] !netinstall Kitsune-san [23:59] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:59] Thanks [23:59] !netinstall | Kitsune-san [23:59] Kitsune-san: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.
