[00:00] Guest48682, I don't know... sorry.. this might help you: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1095406 [00:00] thx 4 the attention [00:00] distatica, just remove windows [00:00] distatica: so basically, if I have an Ub account on my computer, and you have an Ub account on my computer... I can block your access to the internet... but if you reboot and load into my Windows account, you can access the internet. Is that what you're sayign? if it is ... that's what I want to do! :) [00:01] tm1: I should warn you to be careful with iptables, not that you will do any real damage (providing you're not ssh'ed into a box that's hundreds of miles away) but you can lock yourself out of your network stuff easily, and not have a connection to ask on IRC about [00:01] if that happens, then I believe it's sudo iptables -F [00:01] I think, that flushes it. [00:01] ok [00:01] Could there be any disadvantages to adding/removing partitions? Could it destabilize my hard drive? If I have an 80 GB dell, with the entire free space after Dell's stuff a 68.2 GB partition with Windows xp, then if I add a Linux partition, I would have to downsize the XP partition, right? [00:01] distatica, tm1: iptable rules don't survive a reboot === ubugtu is now known as ow [00:02] Kalmi: good point, that too === ow is now known as lda [00:02] hi :) I want to create a sshfs entry in the fstab. But the point is on the remote system I use a certificate only login. Now the mount fails because it needs to be done by the correct user. Any hint how to do that? [00:02] Kalmi: it seems to be a VLC bug, Totem is responding fine [00:02] tm1: then yes, what you said above is true === lda is now known as p`zza [00:02] if I rebooted into windows on your machine, the rules are out the door. [00:02] gartral, why do you prefer vlc? [00:02] distatica: gotcha, perfect :) [00:03] as long as you're talking your machine, and not a switch/router that blocks it somehow knowing that it's an ubuntu machine [00:03] Kalmi: eh, i don't, i prefer xmms2.. === Lenin_Cat is now known as Commie_Cary [00:03] Any openvz people here? === Commie_Cary is now known as Lenin_Cat [00:03] actually, don't need that, linux-image is the actual compiled kernel right? [00:04] <`Perremans> 'lo :) [00:04] nobody for my trembling sound on video playback? [00:04] headers is the stuff I need for compiling modules, and modules is.... ? [00:04] precompiled modules for something? [00:04] can anyone tell me how to reinstall windows over a dual-boot system, WITHOUT touching grub or the current ubuntu install? [00:05] <`Perremans> i have a problem with ext4... I deleted 18 gig, got a systemfreeze, did a restart, checked the files ( gone ) and have 1.8 free space... [00:05] i installed and was messing around with apache, but i screwed it up. can i revert all of its options to a fresh install state? [00:05] <`Perremans> someone know how to fix the correct free space ? [00:05] panfist: I'm not sure, wait for another response first,but running aptitude purge apache2 might solve it. [00:05] panfist: in case of doubt, you should ALWAYS have a backup [00:05] boa noite galera [00:05] p`zza, you can't... Windows will mess up the mbr no matter what [00:05] p`zza: windows installer will screw grub, you have to fix it after you install window [00:05] !grub | p`zza [00:05] p`zza: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[00:06] sorry [00:06] bye [00:07] <`Perremans> i'll try... tnx [00:07] `Perremans, you can'T run fsck on a mounted file system... [00:07] <`Perremans> i saw it [00:08] `Perremans, so... if you have no other partition to boot from, you will need to use a livecd... [00:08] hi all, ubuntu is detecting the signal strength of my wireless incorrectly so its setting the rate too high, i can set the rate using iwconfig but i want it to remember the rate i set when i reboot so i don't have to set it every time [00:08] <`Perremans> i have a live cd [00:08] <`Perremans> tnx [00:08] yw [00:08] <`Perremans> is it normal that ext4 freeze from time to time ? [00:09] `Perremans, no... ext4 works fine for me... [00:09] <`Perremans> i only have it when deleting or moving files bigger than 4,4 gb [00:09] fsck! can anyone tell me is it at all possible to go from 9.04 to 8.04? [00:09] !downgrade | p`zza [00:09] p`zza: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [00:10] p`zza, you could reinstall... [00:10] ha, I was busy typing that... [00:10] :) [00:10] Is it possible to install one of the side projects (say, Kubuntu) off an Ubuntu LiveCD? [00:10] Kalmi: still cant get play/pause working in a mediaplayer i *like* [00:10] Hi - i could use some help on ATI graphics, and screensavers locking up [00:10] Even if that requires doing something funky like modifying the Python source of the installer? [00:10] veritos, not the liveCD no, you'd need the alternate CD to do that [00:10] veritos: not really, you can install kubuntu-desktop on top of an ubuntu installation [00:11] gartral, sorry... i don't use the player you like... [00:11] Veritatis, there is a stupidly long way of doing it but you might not wish to do it [00:11] xray7224: that was aimed at me? [00:11] what would this line do [00:11] export FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR="/lib/firmware" [00:11] Kalmi: i use Amarok, Exial, Xmms2 (through console and GUI clients) and VLC [00:11] Boss-MS Hi, got it working yesterday, thanks - still a prob or 2 [00:12] with the 'cat' command, how would I configure it to show only the part of the file between the words 'section1' and 'endsection1' [00:12] erm i dont know it was aimed at the person wanting to install kubuntu from ubuntu live cd [00:12] Kruger, declare an environmental variable named FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR and mark it for exporting [00:12] `Perremans, I have no problem moving huge files... [00:12] what does this mean export FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR="/lib/firmware"? [00:12] and i said yes you can its jsut a stupidly long way of doing it [00:12] Kruger: It sets and eports that variable, what that variable does depends on what command(s) you run next [00:13] k [00:13] VCoolio, cat can't do that, sed and awk can tho [00:13] Kalmi: I also have Xine, Gxine, rythumbox, movie plyer, totem, Miro, Dragon, and FFmpeg installed [00:13] Hello BOSS MC - back on track now! [00:13] How do you get Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Xubuntu all on one install CD? [00:13] balingup: are you jezza? [00:13] how do I perminantly add a module so it stays after boot up [00:14] modprobe seems to loose effect after reboot [00:14] unop_: right, will look into that or can u easily come up with the right sequence? [00:14] GraphicRecursio2: add it to /etc/modules [00:14] GraphicRecursio2: /etc/modprobe.d/ [00:14] no [00:14] p`zza you wouldnt, the amount of packages would be to big for a cd [00:14] p`zza, you can install the kubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop package after installing ubuntu [00:14] I have an addon soundcard in addition to the onboard sound. Even though the onboard sound is disabled, ubunto's alsa config keeps picking it up as if it were active. How can I keep alsa from loading the drivers for the onboard chip? [00:14] GraphicRecursio2: /etc/modules [00:14] Argh, yes - this is my real id [00:14] GraphicRecursio2: add it to /etc/modules [00:14] VCoolio, I would ask in #sed and #awk [00:14] thank ye gents [00:14] unop_: k, thx [00:15] balingup: so you got the drivers installed? [00:15] BOSS - MC - yes Its me with ATI driver [00:15] is it safe to run ubuntu with no swap, on a 2 gig ram box??? [00:15] i'd say so [00:15] josh_ blacklist the module its using [00:15] im swiming in the xcht [00:15] gartral, worksforme in rhytmbox [00:15] samd: yes, I'm running on a 512Mb eee with no swap fine [00:15] BOSS MC - yes and back on track- not to smooth - flickers when scrolling etc [00:15] mencoder has a interface? [00:16] samd, it doesn't hurt to have some swap available for when you need it .. especially given the abundance of diskspace nowadays [00:16] boss_mc, oh, ight thanks [00:16] is it bad if i open up my xorg.conf and don't see a "Section "Module""? [00:16] balingup: that's a driver issue, just wait a month for the next one to come along and break your system ;-) [00:16] burvowski: No, thats fine [00:17] unop_, im just bought a solid state drive, and people say that its better to reduce writes so the disk last longer, some people suggest no swap, but i really dont know [00:17] burvowski, it might be okay; X config files can be very minimal... probably best to just find the manual/docs for the config file and check to be sure [00:17] burvowski: Xorg doeas so much automatically now that the default xorg.conf is basically the same as having none at all [00:17] burvowski: most bits of Xorg.conf can be skipped (actually I think it's unnecessary except for special settings) [00:17] Jordan_U ok, i'm trying to fix flickering in conky and it told me to add load "dbe" under that section, so I was wondering if it was ok to add that section myself [00:17] burvowski: X guesses what you need anyway [00:17] burvowski: Yes, it is [00:17] burvowski: yeah [00:17] burvowski, for instance, i use xorg.conf to disable my notebook's touchpad "touch to click" feature (cuz i hate it) [00:18] BOSS-MC plus after 5 - 10 mins of screensaver, the screen goes blank and will not revive / wakeup and i have to pull the plug. do you reckon the open source driver would be better? [00:18] ok thanks for the help guys [00:18] samd, ubuntu is not going to use the swap till otherwise bad thing would happen === DaZ[Goa`uld] is now known as DaZ [00:18] burvowski, you might find it useful to Web search for "xorg.conf" plus "dbe" [00:18] it's weird, conky it's just flickering, but slightly moving from side to side when it flickers [00:18] balingup: the OS drivers only really work for 2D acceleration... [00:18] balingup: In general the open source ATI drivers are more stable but slower ( also the open source drivers tend to suspend / resume better ) [00:19] Kalmi, ight, so you recommend to go without a swap partition ?? [00:19] samd, I recommend that you have one [00:19] samd: if you've got HD to spare it's a good idea to have one... [00:20] Boss_MC ok, so you reckon I cant tweak or confingure it etc, just wait...? [00:20] burvowski, you might need special timing settings too, if you have a monitor with funky resolution (i had to get the '915resolution' patch/hack for my notebook) [00:20] samd, it will only get used if you run out of memory [00:20] balingup: That's probably the power saving mode causing it to lock up, just disable 'turn off monitor after X mins' [00:20] Boss MC - ok thanks [00:20] bernz where can i find out more about this patch/hack? my monitor is 1024 x 600 (a netbook) [00:20] boss_mc, Kalmi , ight, ill make the partition, as you guys say , it wont be used that much, so my ssd wont wear out that much because of swap usage [00:20] balingup: then wait... [00:21] samd, good read: http://www.storagesearch.com/ssdmyths-endurance.html [00:21] samd: ah, you're using ssd... you might not wnat one then... [00:21] burvowski: I don't think that 915resolution is needed / usefull with the current drivers [00:21] burvowski, well, the '915resolution' utility is specifically for intel 945-type integrated video for notebooks, but there might be something similar for your netbook [00:21] boss_mc, Kalmi , what about making a swap with a low swapiness setting? [00:21] is gfxboot pretty effortless to install and use compared to grub? [00:21] Boss MC - Will do - thanks for your help!! :) [00:21] burvowski, you might not need any extra program, but you might have to tell xorg.conf to use that specific resolution [00:21] Kalmi, ight, thanks for the link, ima take a look at it [00:22] bernz interesting. i'll look into this, thanks [00:22] burvowski, if you find it education, i can pastebin my xorg.conf for you to examine [00:22] -education +educationl [00:22] bernz sure, i'd take a look [00:22] k, one sec [00:23] samd: I'm looking for the page about that now... [00:23] how do i set up static ip address so i can port forward transmission [00:23] boss_mc, thanks , i apreciate your help [00:24] samd: can't remember where I saw it, it's a selection of tweaks for eeepc's running ubuntu [00:24] HELP!! [00:24] boss_mc, ight, ill search for it ,dont worry,, eeepc tweaks [00:24] boss_mc, thanks [00:24] samd: kl [00:24] ls [00:25] phunkyskunk: are you running behind a router? [00:25] !acer [00:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about acer [00:25] yeah [00:25] how to get help setting up hibernation?? [00:25] phunkyskunk: do you have access to it's settings? [00:25] TheNovice: would seriously suggest you forego hibernation and suspend [00:25] burvowski, http://pastebin.ca/1433388 -- i've added a comment showing where you could put your dbe-related stuff [00:25] yes. its a linksys with ddwrt on it [00:26] phunkyskunk: mmm, delicious [00:26] phunkyskunk: just set your network interface to a static address that's not in the router's DCHP range [00:26] burvowski, it will also show you how you might apply other advanced settings; gimme another second, and i'll paste the one from my notebook; i put my mediabox one on the first pastebin [00:27] hi, is there any way i can use GNOME-DO with language other than english? [00:27] i just switched to ubuntu recently and transmission was working fine without port forwarding now for some reason the ports are blocked [00:27] phunkyskunk: then in the wrt-dd port forwarding page set up the port from port blah (router) to port blah on your box [00:27] phunkyskunk, couldn't you just enable upnp on the router? [00:28] Kalmi: does transmission use upnp? [00:28] I have a question about the session switcher. I install Enlightenment and i can't switch to that windows manager through the login screen. [00:28] HELP!! sound doesnt work [00:28] it is enabled but it doesnt seem to be working [00:28] boss_mc, yes [00:28] !sound | TheNovice [00:28] TheNovice: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [00:28] burvowski, http://pastebin.ca/1433389 -- this is the one from my notebook (you probably don't need the other one; it's less "exciting") :-) [00:28] Kalmi: huh, better than I thought then (although deluge is still the best!) [00:28] does anyone know of a good xdmcp how-to, preferably something with screenshots? [00:29] boss_mc, deluge rocks... :D [00:29] so deluge is better than transmission?? [00:29] how to install windows fonts? [00:29] !medibuntu | TheNovice [00:29] TheNovice: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [00:29] would you recommend me install that rather than use transmission [00:30] !fonts | TheNovice [00:30] TheNovice: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [00:30] phunkyskunk, Transmission is ok imho === maximo is now known as Maximo [00:30] phunkyskunk: it's your call, install it, try it and decide for your self [00:30] e-vad, there is this but no screenshots http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/index.html [00:30] is deluge more like utorrent [00:31] phunkyskunk: more like azureus in my mind (less info on screen, and it's not java...) [00:31] coz_: yeah, that one was less than useful, which is why i asked the other way around [00:31] im sick to type password for sudo, how to avoid that? [00:31] I have a question about the session switcher option at the login screen. I installed enlightenment and i can't switch to that windows manager through the login screen via session switcher. [00:31] TheNovice: sudo su [00:31] e-vad, ok well I found a wikipedia page and man y references online [00:31] TheNovice, or sudo -s [00:31] ok. i may give it a try. in transmission now its saying my port is open when i test it. it was saying closed earlier [00:32] oh lol [00:32] that simply stupid me [00:32] TheNovice: be careful though, as root you can do damage to your system that may be hard to put right [00:32] coz_: indeed... i'd have not asked on irc w/o searching on my own really. i'll keep poking, and if anyone knows about xdmcp on 9.04, pipe up [00:32] e-vad, yeah that may be the best let me keep looking for a minute [00:32] and i didnt change anything [00:33] usb_control_msg error -1 [00:33] how to install flash player? [00:33] phunkyskunk: your router may have done weird things with upnp, they do that every so often... [00:33] !flash | TheNovice [00:33] i don't want to start any arguments, i'm just sort of trying to get a sense of the typi [00:33] TheNovice: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [00:34] How can I check that a CD of ubuntu is OK? It won't boot on the target machine. [00:34] coz_: it seems i've done the server bit right, and the client 'looks' like it's connecting [00:34] I checked the MD5 of the .iso file and it's OK [00:34] If anyone has any idea how to switch to a custom window manager, and can help me, i will be very happy. :) [00:34] VSpike: if you can boot it on any machine you can run a checkdisc from the menu [00:34] just never gets me as far as a login screen [00:34] should it show up under the upnp in the router interface if transmission is using UPnP [00:34] boss_mc: I didn't want to reboot any of the other machines I have if possible ;) [00:34] e-vad, http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3089403.msg135907#msg135907 no screenshots but maybe [00:35] VSpike: otherwise if you can see the files in nautilus you can do the md5sum check yourself [00:35] soulwarp, which wm? [00:35] collecting opinions to help me understand how best to configure my Ubuntu mediabox: for people who compile and install "3rd-party" libraries, apps, etc from source, do you place all such source in a common directory in your FS, and if so where, and if not, what do you do? please msg me your responses, i don't want to cause a flood :-) [00:35] VSpike: you can rerip the CD you just burnt [00:36] VSpike: the ripped ISO should match the MD5sum of the ISO [00:36] e-vad, no real luck here guy sorry [00:36] +original [00:36] Kalmi: e16 Enlightenment [00:36] VSpike: the md5's are here http://mirror.ox.ac.uk/sites/releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ [00:36] mmm [00:36] coz_: trying that last one now... we'll see in a sec [00:36] Kalmi: from source [00:37] e-vad, try the #linux channel if nothing else works [00:37] word. [00:37] space word [00:37] Kalmi: I know it's install because when i type e16 in the terminal i get an error saying another window manager is running [00:37] word space space word [00:37] soulwarp, e16 --replace [00:37] okay, i guess I messed something up. i am a new user and did something to my movie player. Now it wont play anything. it just starts to open then closes. I installed the ubuntu-restrict-extras and libdvdread4 but that did not help... what do you guys think? [00:38] soulwarp why not stop the current WM and then starrt E16? [00:38] is there any command that helps to copy files from server to local pc via SSH !? [00:38] RHorse: how do i do that? [00:38] soulwarp: e16 --replace? [00:38] What would cause fglrxinfo to give me a "Xlib: extension "ATIFGLRXDRI" missing on display ":0.0". " segmentation fault? [00:38] somebody is using this privative driver for ati? [00:39] harujai: the phase of the moon? [00:39] vlady, you you mean 'fglrx' driver? [00:39] boss_mc: Kalmi: e16: Ignoring: --replace [00:39] yeah! [00:39] kbp: scp [00:39] vlady, i am, with great success so far [00:39] boss_mc: Anything i could control? [00:39] (on Radeon HD2600) [00:39] soulwarp, do you have desktop effects on? [00:39] how do you do that_ [00:39] thanx VSpike [00:39] Has anybody any experience on installing python2.5 in Jaunty? [00:39] soulwarp what he said or ctrl alt bksp, and then alt + ctl + F2 to go to terminal [00:39] Kalmi: no [00:40] vlady, i used envyng, and some luck (i think)( [00:40] soulwarp, killall metacity && e16 [00:40] vlady: http://cchtml.com [00:40] vlady, many people seem to bag on envyng, but it worked well for me [00:40] bernz: Are you using jaunty? [00:40] RHorse: Kalmi: trying those options brb [00:40] vlady: I use the manual install method, works nicely... [00:40] kbp: I think in nautilus you can do sftp://host/path and it should open it for you via ssh === david is now known as Guest86320 [00:41] anybody? [00:41] harujai, yes, i've upgraded to jaunty recently, with no ill effects, except maybe one minor one [00:41] soulwarp, just run that, don't do anything else [00:41] what version do you have? [00:41] harujai, the taskbar on the bottom is covered with a grid of black pixels, effectively "ghosting" all but the active task tab [00:41] guys how do i get evolution to stop asking for the keyring password, yet still memorize my password? [00:41] vlady: was that addressed to me? [00:42] bernz: Would you have any idea why fglrxinfo is giving me a segmentation fault? other than the phase of the moon of course [00:42] harujai, every so often, there is a vertical white line, where no shadow falls; it coincides with nothing on-screen, and is regularly spaced [00:42] hi [00:42] i upgraded to jaunty and movie player was working but now its not working. am i going to have to re install everything? [00:42] i can't remember the CLI command for bluetooth [00:42] what is it? [00:42] i need to -c / -g FILE [00:42] envyng? [00:42] i just can't remember what is [00:42] ozzmosis / boss_mc : I suddenly realised that "sudo md5sum /dev/cdrom" would work too [00:43] iĺl install it rigth now! [00:43] harujai, no; i just ran it, and it printed a few lines of info, no indication of error; was your fglrxinfo working before jaunty (assuming you upgraded also)? [00:43] ozzmosis / boss_mc : just in case anyone else asks the same thing :) [00:43] VSpike, sorry for a nub question (Im new to ubuntu) but does Nautilus mean terminal? [00:43] VSpike: does the CD have the md5sums on it? [00:43] meoblash001: is it bluetooth-sendto ? [00:43] kbp: nautilus is the fileexplorer [00:44] bernz: That's a complicated answer, since upgrading to jaunty there have been new ati drivers released [00:44] meoblash001: its wrong, my bad. [00:44] boss_mc: yeah, but I'm concerned about it booting so I wanted to check the boot sector (or whatever the CD equivalent is) which would not be covered by the file sums [00:44] cchen, why? [00:44] ook thanx ^^ === homer is now known as Guest91895 [00:44] bernz: for the most part it was working before jaunty though i couldnt independently set screen resolutions. 9.4 catalyst drivers were very glitchy on jaunty and i'm trying to get the 9.5 drivers working now [00:44] Howdy people. Can I ask where the best place to ask 'RAID5 / mdadm' questions are? Can someone suggest a channel? [00:44] VSpike: do CD's even have the same bootsect thing that HD's do? [00:45] !nautilus [00:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about nautilus [00:45] harujai, ahh, that might be it -- since the ATI drivers are not "official", they wouldn't have been upgraded with jaunty; since they were working before, they probably have stayed working [00:45] boss_mc: I'm not sure! [00:45] !pastebin | soulwarp [00:45] soulwarp, please see my private message [00:45] Kalmi: thanks for reply. wondering by using aptitude install python2.5 will changes anything that the default python2.6 used in jaunty. [00:45] boss_mc: they have a bootsector yes .. just not a partition table [00:45] hello all :3 [00:45] boss_mc: even so, the command I gave returns the same md5sum as the .iso file [00:45] harujai, FWIW, i had some problems installing the catalyst utility at first, but i can't remember what the problem was, nor the solution; only that it works now [00:45] foolhardy: could try #debian or #gentoo for more server related people [00:45] foolhardy: whats the issue? [00:45] VSpike: sounds like it should work... [00:46] the issue is that a 'removed' drive doesnt seem to allow me to 're-add' it [00:46] bernz: Didn't jaunty change to a new xserver version? or did i misread something [00:46] harujai, but... at least, it's notable that the drivers worked without catalyst, though maybe i had to tweak my xorg.conf a bit [00:46] Kalmi: i know that the symbol link is /usr/bin/python still points at python2.6 but are there any lib.so files that will be overwritten? [00:46] foolhardy: are you adding it as a spare? === rt1 is now known as rt [00:46] harujai: yes, jaunty uses X1.6 so only catalyst 9.5 will work with it at the moment [00:46] anyone have any ideas how i can get my movie player to work again? [00:46] Kalmi: the purpose is not to compile with python2.6 but to allow packages that use python2.5 to be able to run. [00:47] guys how do i get evolution to stop asking for the keyring password, yet still memorize my password? [00:47] harujai, perhaps, but i suspect that it's sufficiently "separate" from the ATI drivers to allow a swap of xserver without changing drivers... i have no idea, though, that's just a guess [00:47] cchen, i think they should be able to live happily side-by-side.. [00:47] cchen, why wouldn't they? [00:47] bernz: at this point i'd like to get something working. I tried envng yesterday and it installed the 8.600 drivers which was problematic [00:47] Anyone try running Ubuntu Remix under virtualbox? [00:47] boss_mc: Ah i thought so. Thanks. [00:47] harujai: have you looked at http://cchtml.com? [00:48] Dante123: it dies on its backside under qemu, I can tell you that [00:48] boss_mc: yes. Following those instructions three times yesterday i wound up with 3 different errors on 3 fresh installs of jaunty [00:48] harujai: I used to follow the manual installation instructions (they got balinghup's ati card working last night!) [00:48] hi i'm trying to install fuppes and i think i have all the dependencies but when i run autoreconf - vfi i get an error [00:48] boss_mc: It seems to have finally settled on the segmentation error [00:48] kalmi: does python2.5 package store in a separate directory than python2.6? do they share any same symbolic links in /usr/lib or /usr/share? that was my concern. [00:48] error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LIB_RPATH [00:48] harujai, sorry, i can't be of much help, because i had so few problems :-/ good luck [00:49] gordonjcp well i have followed instruction of people that claim to have made it work, but I am getting this weird green screen and it never gets past that [00:49] bernz: Np, thanks for trying anyway [00:49] should i be asking movie player questions in a different room? [00:49] no [00:49] aks [00:49] starts okay, but when you go to install screen stays green...also some message about 16bit vs. 32 bit display [00:49] I can't get the multimedia buttons to work right in some applications [00:49] rekoob: no, it's a good question, just people aren't able to help... [00:49] rekoob: ask away [00:49] rekoob: maybe someone who can will rock up, like soulwarp! [00:50] boss_mc: when you did the manual install did you you install the 3 .deb packages specifically listed or did you install all 6 created when you did --buildpkg ? [00:50] Guest86320: have you by any chance set your login to go automatically (without entering password)? In that case evolution can't reach the passwords file. [00:50] Is anyone familier with getting .net framework apps working in jaunty? I've already gotten wine/winetricks/the framework itself installed, is there something else I'm missing or doing wrong? [00:50] something happened and it starts to open then just closes. [00:50] hi i'm trying to install fuppes and i think i have all the dependencies but when i run autoreconf - vfi i get an error configure:20970: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LIB_RPATH [00:50] rekoob: what is the name of the player [00:50] harujai: I didn't install the -dev package, I installed all the others [00:50] oop sorry [00:50] its movie player [00:51] soulwarp, rekoob: so it's totem [00:51] rekoob: that's probably Totem [00:51] boss_mc: Last one i think, is synaptic the best way to uninstall the packages or is there a cleaner way [00:51] yes, thats the one. [00:51] The Movie Player! [00:51] harujai: I use dpkg to install/remove local packages and apt for repository packages [00:51] rekoob: open your terminal and type totem [00:52] boss_mc: I see. Thanks. [00:52] harujai: but they are basically equivalent [00:52] harujai: synaptic is good, yes [00:52] rekoob: copy and paste the error here. if the error is too long please use pastebin [00:52] it opens fine. [00:52] how do i install the new video card drivers. card i have is ati x600 [00:52] !pastebin | rekoob [00:52] rekoob: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [00:52] but when i try to open a file it closes [00:53] rekoob: open a terminal, type totem, press enter and pastebin us the output after it crashes [00:53] is there a way to access itunes daap shares? [00:53] rekoob, do what soulwarp said and copy the terminal output to pastebin [00:53] harujai: you might try purging them [00:53] RHorse: rhythmbox can do it [00:53] Can any wireless device be a MASTER(Access point) on Ubuntu? [00:53] I can't get the multimedia buttons to work right in some applications... [00:54] boss_mc: you mean me? [00:54] libtech: yes, misread the name.... [00:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/179930/ [00:54] is that how i do it? [00:54] boss_mc: I'm new, how would i do that? -p? [00:54] hi I just upgraded to jaunty 9.04 and the sound doesnt work in amarok or on the net [00:55] harujai: dpkg --purge [00:55] also pandora and other flash sites dont work even though I had just fixed the problem on 8.04 last week [00:55] !sound | smith [00:55] smith: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[00:55] 2 [00:55] boss_mc: Roger. For future reference what's the difference between purge and remove [00:55] hi i'm trying to install fuppes and i think i have all the dependencies but when i run autoreconf - vfi i get this error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LIB_RPATH, AC_LIB_LINKFLAGS_BODY, AC_LIB_APPENDTOVAR what should i do? [00:55] smith: you will need phonon stuff [00:56] harujai: purge removes config files as well as the binaries [00:56] smith unless you UPGRADE to 1.4 [00:56] I can't get the multimedia buttons to work right in some applications... [00:56] even if i do that then my flash wont work still [00:57] gartral, I assume it works for you too in Rhythmbox... [00:57] rekoob: it seems to be a common bug with the program, there is already a bug report filed here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/357824 [00:57] does anyone know how to know the IP ?? :) [00:58] ifconfig ramael [00:58] rekoob: you might look at vlc for a movie player for now (until the bug's fixed) [00:58] ifconfig works, but gives me my local IP, I need my external IP :) [00:58] ramael: whatsmyip.com [00:58] ramael: http://showip.net/ [00:58] Kalmi: yes, rythmbox, Exial, and Totem all work, but VLX, xmms2 and dragon dont [00:58] okay, i thought i found that but will look this over [00:58] how does one kill a window in Screen [00:58] thanks soulwarp. [00:58] the documentation says Control+A+K but that did nothing [00:58] gartral, you might be better off filing bugs against them... [00:58] meoblast001: Ctrl+A K [00:59] ozzmosis: i did that and nothing happened [00:59] Hit ctrl+a (release) then hit K [00:59] meoblast001: uppercase K? [00:59] logankoester: ha.. that does nothing either [00:59] ozzmosis: i don't have an upcase K key [00:59] rekoob: you're welcome [00:59] meoblast001: you... do [00:59] you just used it! [00:59] dang, i missed that... is someone saying vlc is a better player? [00:59] okie, thanks... its that all I need in order to let other people to connect to me (me and some friends want to play openarena) [00:59] or do I need to disable my firewall? [00:59] vlc is good [00:59] ozzmosis: wouldn't that just be Control+A+Shift+K? [00:59] mplayer is better ;) [00:59] meoblast001: indeed [00:59] rekoob: I prefer it to totem... [01:00] ring1: mplayer is good too [01:00] WMP is the best! :D [01:00] !kb Kalmi [01:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about kb Kalmi [01:00] !sound [01:00] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[01:04] ozzmosis: apparently. [01:05] meoblast001: you're doing it wrong.

I had once writting a dumb script that removed what i needed removed... but that wa quite far from a general solution... [01:14] ncfi1013: those are DVD Video files [01:14] Is there a way i can (via command line) print to a printer with out having to add it [01:14] boss_mc: no joy, sound still missing :( [01:14] harujai: my experience with the fglrx drivers is that no error was specific enough to no be affected by the gravitational pull of my pet cat [01:14] boss_mc: paman onlly gives network configuration options :( [01:14] i know...how do burn them? [01:15] TheNovice: but it also installs padevchooser [01:15] ncfi1013: you could try creating an iso that contains those files. Those files are what you see if you browse a DVD manually [01:15] TheNovice: which will show you whether a programis correcly registering with pulse and where pulse is sending the sound [01:15] TheNovice: very useful little app [01:15] Jordan_U, sorry dude I was getting something to eat but yes Ive tried that as well. [01:15] it's like working with the retarded [01:16] boss_mc: Are there any tricksy ways to disambiguate it?

[01:16] Jordan_U, I have the bcmwl5.inf driver installed but I have to also extract the .sys file for the stuff to work [01:16] Kalmii, alesan: route del ... [01:16] TheNovice: it's opens in the notification area === elpargo|lunch is now known as elpargo [01:16] ncfi1013: sudo apt-get install k3b [01:16] boss_mc: ohhhhh [01:16] i know that too...how do i do what you are saying thoku? [01:17] TheNovice: left click, click volume manager [01:17] thoku, that is very inconvenient. on the other hand, "ifconfig ethX down" should autoimatically delete all the routes associated [01:17] thoku, yeah... but we would like empty it without knowing about each entry... [01:17] ncfi1013: I'm confused about what you said. if you have an ISO, you can just burn the ISO. if you have a set of .VOB files, you don't have an ISO. [01:17] TheNovice: left click, click volume control [01:17] TheNovice: sorry... [01:17] alesan, oh... that sounds good [01:17] alesan: it isn't? [01:17] Hello everyone. My name is Jon. [01:17] hi [01:17] !hi | opie297 [01:17] opie297: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [01:17] ncifi1013: try soulwarp's solution. It sounds like there are tools to do what you want [01:18] does running visual effects effect your battery life? [01:18] jimisrvrox_: What happened when you tried Hardware Drivers? You should already have the firmware you need and thus shouldn't need to extract anything ( to check if you have the firmware, see if there are directories named /lib/firmware/b43 and /lib/firmware/b43-legacy ) [01:18] ozzmosis: i think he means how can he make an ISO with DVD files [01:18] ozzmosis: i'm not sure what's happening, but shouldn't he first turn them into avi's with dvd::rip? [01:18] opie297, Hello, my name Kalmi. [01:18] hey i cannot play any videos on cnn i get a double circle with a delta shaped play button [01:18] mah: I don't think he wants AVIs :) [01:18] is there an ubuntu netbook remix channel? [01:18] Does anyone here have Linux Mint installed? [01:18] panfist: not a specific one [01:18] ozzmosis: but maybe it would be easier to burn those to a dvd? [01:19] Jordan_U, I went the ndiswrapper route [01:19] opie297:yes [01:19] boss_mc: now the PulseAudio meter works, moves, but no sound [01:19] opie297:but I don't know much more than you about it [01:19] mah: not really... [01:19] after doing "cat * | grep STRING" I found which directory what I was looking for is, anyway I can get it to display the filename? [01:19] ok, right click on a stream that is playing and try to move it to different hardware [01:19] TheNovice: ok, right click on a stream that is playing and try to move it to different hardware [01:19] mah: more important to find out what he wants to do, first [01:19] Jordan_U, when I do hardware drivers and click activate it gets to about 50% search and fetch whatever and stops [01:20] oh I have no questions about it I just wanted to talk about how great it is. [01:20] rashed2020: why not "grep STRING *" ? [01:20] alesan, lol... my script sucks badly :D :http://paste.ubuntu.com/179938/ [01:20] jimisrvrox_: I don't reccommend ndiswrapper as the open source drivers for your chipset are fine once you have the firmware ( though installing ndiswqrapper and blacklisting b43 can both prevent the open drivers from working ) [01:20] Hi there [01:20] err.. thanks! [01:20] I am doing a work [01:20] how can i remove the time stamp on irssi? [01:20] ive got dvd::rip, acidrip, k3b. ozzmosis how do you turn .VOB files into an iso. yeah finally soulwarp knows what im talking about. [01:21] And I would like to know some slogans for Linux [01:21] hello DareDevil [01:21] I have to go... thank you guys [01:21] hrm..ok well Jordan_U says that the b43 driver is activated and in use...showing nothing in nm but I think I will do a restart and see if it picks up anything.. [01:21] Do you know any slogan_ [01:21] ?? [01:21] ok nvm got it.. [01:21] daredevil: like freeas in free speech? [01:21] jimisrvrox_: If Hardware Drivers didn't complete then it's not in use yet [01:21] Jordan_U, got it [01:21] ncfi1013: just use Brasero and tell it to write to an ISO instead of burn a disc [01:22] mah good tell me other [01:22] ncfi1013: just a second, i will find the tutorial on how to do that [01:22] DareDevil0, If Bill Gates had a nickel for every time Windows crashed... Oh wait, he does. [01:22] TheNovice: any luck? [01:22] jimisrvrox_: You can download the file manually if Hardware Drivers is failing, or try simply running "sudo /usr/share/b43-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh [01:22] Jordan_U, thanks I appreciate it but I would like to know how the hell I managed to get the thing to work bc obviously it was not supported in the kernel..I am absent minded of what firmware I had to grab in order for it to work properly..

[01:30] macman_: GIMP .. or ImageMagick [01:30] TheNovice: because it sounds to me like it's 'working' as far as the OS is concerned [01:30] i will try gimp [01:30] boss_mc: yeah, all maxed, if any moment the sound comes out, ill be legally deft...

I went to sys>pref> and display but 1400x900 wasn't there [02:51] amseidler: you can just add it manually to /etc/X11/xorg.conf if you want === rever is now known as vieirar [02:51] Kruger: the wget will download to whatever directory you are in in the terminal when you enter the command. [02:51] fryguy--: How? [02:52] amseidler: there's a manpage for the file that describes it's syntax [02:52] !hi | beatlesfan [02:52] beatlesfan: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [02:52] Kruger: That 'export' command is something you should enter at the commandline. It simply sets the FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR variable for other programs to use [02:52] amseidler, maybe your system can't handle that resolution [02:52] RedSocrates: what do you mean other programs to use [02:52] iamtechno, yea you might have been lagging, go on Clarke if you're on west coast, it's really good. :) [02:52] iamtechno: It can, I was using it on my old install ofUbuntu [02:52] Kruger: if you have the package already downloaded, then you need to untar it and then run the program inside. It will look for the FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR variable set in the first line [02:52] Kruger: Well, presumably the one you're installing via the instructions (I haven't been following exactly what you're doing) [02:52] What is the best DNLA application for sharing pictures, music and video to my PS3 [02:52] eseven73, Clarke? as in the channel? [02:53] !best | vieirar [02:53] vieirar: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [02:53] server [02:53] Kruger: Right, what th0r said. The thing you're installing will be looking for FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR, so the export command sets that variable in order for what you're installing to find it [02:53] iamtechno, clarke.freenode.net [02:53] eseven73, will do [02:54] Kruger: that wget command leads me to believe it is a source file, so you might have to compile it [02:54] Why ctrl+c in akregator doesn't work?! I have to go to popup menu to copy selected text to clipboard! (PS: Ctrl+Insert doesn't work either) === ralmar is now known as derfens [02:54] th0r: yea I'm on step like 10 of 20 I've already "untar'd" it [02:54] XAR: selected text is put into a clipboard for you automatically, just middle click to paste [02:55] billybigrigger: how do i right click [02:55] so is export like a command that looks for the following line? [02:55] Kruger: I am downloading it now to see what it is [02:55] does it depend on what I type next? [02:55] kk [02:55] Kruger: export is used to set environment variables [02:55] meoblast001::: ?\ [02:55] its fwcutter [02:55] with the controller [02:55] Kruger: in bash style shells [02:55] (sh, bash, zsh, etc) [02:55] Interesting behaviour... But thank you, that helped! [02:56] fryguy: so FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR is something common to linux or specific to the program I'm downloading [02:56] ldiamond: is Only allow local connections ticked in the Advanced tab? [02:56] Hey guys I want to delete files in a specific partition that are above a certain size. To do so I used the search function and made it look for files larger than a certain size. However I cannot delete the files be selecting them in the search box and pressing Shift + Delete. They simply go to the recycling bin. I dont want that to happen (will they be moved from the original partition to the home or root partition when they are moved to the trash?). How ca [02:56] n I delete them directly from the search window? Thanks [02:56] Kruger: specific to the program you are downloading [02:56] derfens: shift+del is delete properly [02:56] http://pastebin.com/m4cbffbea anyone know whats wrong there? [02:56] meoblast001::: good question [02:56] Kruger: it does look like source code, but there is no make file...not sure what to do with it [02:56] billybigrigger: i'll get the jscallibrator to find out [02:56] meoblast001::: i never said i used the ps3 controller for a mouse, i just know how to use google :P [02:56] th0r: oh that's firmware [02:57] I'm updating my wireless card [02:57] billybigrigger: i know how to ask and then google :P [02:57] geirha, theres no advanced tab. [02:57] so I have fwcutter and the firmware on my desktop now I'm just not sure what to do next [02:57] billybigrigger: i instinctively do it in the wrong order [02:57] meoblast001::: i found that site to help you out, beyond pointing you in the right direction...your on your own :P [02:57] hehe [02:57] boss_mc, I know but if i do that from the search window it ignores the shitft and simply moves the files to the trash.... does that mean the files are moved from their original partition to the root or home partition? [02:57] geirha, I restarted my computer and it worked... for some reason. However, I am really concerned about the security and performance of this. [02:57] th0r: and this is the next step [02:57] sudo ../../b43-fwcutter-011/b43-fwcutter -w "$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR" wl_apsta_mimo.o [02:58] billybigrigger: i usually google it while someone answered me [02:58] geirha, also, I am unable to enable/disable remote desktop from a SSH session using gconftool-2 [02:58] :S [02:58] andrewfree: was mysql ever installed previously? Its possible there is a residual config file [02:58] nice! I didnt' know Ububtu have so many softwares for Ham Radio !!! [02:58] I'd paste all 6 lines but the flood control would go off [02:58] Kruger: right...run that command but first make sure you are in the directory called driver [02:58] derfens: huh, fail search box... ubuntu create's a trash folder in the same partition as the origional file (which is weird on ntfs windows mounts...) [02:58] th0r: k [02:58] * what_if waves to IamSOG... KL4YFD [02:58] Kruger: that is where that file (wl_apsta.o) is located [02:58] what_if: yea it was, I did purge it already, but didnt delete my database, I need that. [02:58] th0r: oh this step: cd broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5/driver [02:59] hi what if, I need to get my license too :D but my currecnt location is Vr2 xx [02:59] hmm its all listed here nicely its just I didn't download it from wget [02:59] so I'm confused [02:59] th0r: export FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR="/lib/firmware" [02:59] wget http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.150.10 === goose_ is now known as goose [02:59] how do I mod the wget to make it not from the website but from my desktop [02:59] ldiamond: Does gconftool-2 give you an error? [03:00] Kruger: ? [03:00] IamSOG yes I use several [03:00] Kruger: if you have it on the desktop, then you just need to untar it [03:00] Kruger: there is no need to use wget if it's already on your desktop [03:00] frygy: these instruction are assuming that I have an internet connection which I do not have [03:00] geirha, no, it looks like its working, but it has no effect [03:00] what_if: does the morse trainning program good in Ubintu ? [03:00] hey all [03:00] frygy: oh ok [03:00] i need help installing :) [03:00] Kruger: so then ignore the wget [03:00] help [03:00] frygy: do I still need to do the export thing? [03:00] anyone [03:00] haha [03:00] Kruger: yes [03:00] !ask [03:00] 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. :-) [03:00] fryguy: kk [03:00] Kruger: yes [03:01] IamSOG: I've never used one, gave up on code, unfortunately [03:01] the first time i installed it, it said i could split the hard drive in half. it is no longer giving me the option, only allowing me to use whole disk which i want half for XP [03:01] thanks [03:01] andrewfree: can you manually start mysqld and see if it errors ? [03:01] i went to manual [03:01] now what? [03:01] ldiamond: So if you disable it, you can still connect? Try doing it using gconf-editor [03:01] !enter [03:01] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:02] how do i restart the service that reads the aliases/configs out of ~/.bashrc? [03:02] anyone? [03:02] just source .bashrc [03:02] * IamSOG is trying to find a software that will connect with his Icom IC-R100 :D [03:02] gartral: log out and back in. or open a terminal [03:02] fryguy or th0r: ok I'm on the last step. sudo ../../b43-fwcutter-011/b43-fwcutter -w "$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR" wl_apsta_mimo.o do I need the ../../ part at the beginning or is that place holder for something I'm supuposed to enter [03:02] There is not enough room on the disk to save /tmp/XJTFh_i3.bin.part. [03:02] Remove unnecessary files from the disk and try again, or try saving in a different location [03:02] I've been having video problems. I can't even see the desktop. So, after I sign in (blind), I hit Alt + F1 and drop down to the console to try to fix things. I sign in, and do a little work, after which, I run out of screen. From there, I can't scroll down. Page Down does not work, Shift + Page Down does not work. How can I get it to scroll? [03:02] what_if: It failed still. [03:02] gartral: . .bashrc or source .bashrc [03:02] Kruger: it's the path [03:02] andrewfree: I am installing to see if I can dup. [03:03] th0r: rather just use console, logging out takes forever on my comp [03:03] am i forced to remove XP now? [03:03] Kruger: '..' is a path shortcut for "up a level" [03:03] geirha, if I do it from locally on the machine, I can enable/disable it with gconftool-2, however, if I do it through a SSH session, it doesnt work [03:03] Kruger, the ../../ tells it to move up two levels in the directories [03:03] PCTeacher012, What may have happen is that you erased the whole hdd and formatted it [03:03] Whats a good program for playing music? [03:03] anyone know if i can use gnome-screensavers logout screen while still using an xscreensaver screensaver? [03:03] th0r: wow I wonder how it knows my directory tree [03:03] what_if: Ok [03:03] poseidon: banshee [03:03] poseidon Rhythmbox [03:03] cause xscreensavers lock screen is UGLY! [03:03] Priswell sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? [03:03] well, no, i still can boot into xp, i just started installation, i wanna go back to Ubuntu but keep XP @ iam_techno [03:03] poseidon, mpayer works too [03:03] meh, whatever I'm just going to trust it lol [03:03] Kruger: don't think it does...it is depending on the whole process as laid out in whatever you are reading [03:04] poseidon: mpd, banshee, xmms, rhythmbox, totem, vlc, mplayer, quod libet... [03:04] boss_mc: help !! hibernation doesnt work [03:04] k [03:04] I'll try that again. . .thx for responding. [03:04] * IamSOG is wondering if softwares for KDE and Genome will run on Xfce ? [03:04] andrewfree: did you get the prompt to enter the mysql root password ?? [03:04] Kruger: if you have skipped things or moved them, the command might not work [03:04] what_if: yep with that blue screen and all, I did that. [03:04] IamSOG: yes, with QT and GTK libs installed [03:04] Priswell np, also the -phigh option mebbe [03:04] hey all. in synaptic under status, i have a section called "Installed (local or obsolete)". what is that for? [03:04] TheNovice: you using proprietary graphics drivers? [03:05] If I went and downloaded and installed Crunchbang, it'd be based on ubuntu 8.10 and not 9.04, correct? [03:05] I see, thanks what_if because I saw quit a few here for them [03:05] PCTeacher012: i have no idea what you are asking since you hit enter every 3 seconds, try asking a question in a single statement [03:05] PCTeacher012, point of clarification. The hdd is already split and you have one partition that already has XP on it and the other is blank and you want to install Ubuntu on it? [03:05] boss_mc: no, ubuntu nvidia drivers [03:05] th0r: is this supposed to be all on same line or on two I can't tell [03:05] sudo ../../b43-fwcutter-011/b43-fwcutter -w "$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR" wl_apsta_mimo.o [03:05] TheNovice: nv or nVidia? [03:05] But I can't see what I'm typing. I'm blind. Even when I drop down to the console, I can't scroll down. [03:05] ldiamond: Might be it's unable to connect to the dbus when connected through ssh [03:05] Kruger: all the same line [03:05] boss_mc: i select the drivers that the hardware detector uses [03:06] I mean, I'm not physically blind, but I can't see due to it not scrolling. [03:06] boss_mc: it is nvidias propietary i think [03:06] My system is now running 9.04, and I hear both channels coming out on the left side only. Sound card -> Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation nForce2 AC97 Audio Controler (MCP) (rev a1) [03:06] TheNovice: then you're using proprietary [03:06] iam_techno, no i have not done anything to the partition, the only partition is dev_1 which is XP. It wont let me edit the size, only delete the partition or change type, which i do not want to do unless forced to [03:06] andrewfree: what is you run mysqld --verbose. Any better erros ? [03:06] I checked google, and can't seem to narrow down any reported bugs (yet). [03:06] andrewfree: rather, errors that are easier to troubleshoot ? [03:06] anyone good with GIMP? I need to know how to take 1-2 pixels off a render? [03:06] Priswell sounds like the framebuffer is off [03:06] Shivam: #gimp [03:07] RHorse: How can I fix that? [03:07] TheNovice: proprietary drivers + hibernate = shaky at best [03:07] th0r: woa! I just did that and it extracted 50 things === fryguy-- is now known as fryguy [03:07] yes i know fryguy, no one ever there to answer [03:07] Priswell can you get the boot (grub) menu ok? [03:07] i always ask here and always get hte answers [03:07] ldiamond: Run, "echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" locally, then in the ssh-session, do "export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=" Does it work after that? [03:07] Correction: Using pulse audio's volume control, I split left and right, and turned the volume of each, verifiying only the left channel is coming through. Right channel isn't being played. [03:07] boss_mc: ok changing to NV.. [03:07] PCTeacher012, ok I got it. I have heard of resizing after install but never installed tried it. I have a dual boot ubuntu/win 7 system [03:07] Shivam: that doesn't make this an appropriate place to ask [03:07] RHorse: I've never tried doing that. [03:07] starting with jaunty, network manager doesn't try to connect to my wireless for about 30 seconds. This didn't happen in Gutsy, Hardy, or Intrepid. What's the deal? [03:07] Kruger: never done fwcutter....don't know what to expect [03:08] hi. i have a problem with dual boot [03:08] would someone be so kind as to pm me my join block? [03:08] th0r: yea well that's all the steps that I had to do. I don't know if my firmware is upgraded still or not... [03:08] can someone help me? [03:08] RHorse: Assuming that I can do that, what do I adjust? [03:08] !ask | Wasser [03:08] Wasser: 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. :-) [03:08] iam_techno, so i can not resize during install? If i can not, then i wil lremove windows, which i do not want to do really [03:08] Shivam, try the #gimp channel, if there is one [03:08] PCTeacher012: use gparted if you want to resize [03:08] th0r:I guess if my wireless card starts working I'll know? lol [03:08] PCTeacher012, No, as far as I know [03:09] Kruger: well...if it didn't work it should have given you a rather obvious error indication [03:09] Kruger: what wireless card is it? [03:09] Priswell I believe there is a failsafe mode [03:09] What do I need to do again to get mp3's to play well? [03:09] IndyGunFreak: its BCM4306 14e4:4320 rev 03 [03:09] fryguy, i am opening it [03:09] ah... dreaded broadcom [03:09] yea :( [03:09] poseidon, define 'well' [03:10] boss_mc: to switch from Nvidia , i need to change the , load from GLX to NV ? [03:10] Any ideas? [03:10] IndygunFreak: on friday I tried ndiswrapper + windows drivers. then I was told to try upgrading firmware with fwcutter which is what I'm trying to do now === bk is now known as bk|away [03:10] I love Ubuntu but without internet what's the point hehe [03:10] Kruger: my understanding, thats the way to go. [03:10] fryguy: Windows XP has a Exclamation mark by it and will not fix, should i just remove it? [03:10] Priswell ck out: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer#grub [03:10] Kruger: probably worth it to just go out and buy a wireless device that has native linux support [03:10] PCTeacher012: probably not [03:11] what_if: http://pastebin.com/m4cbffbea3f6d8e22 [03:11] TheNovice: do you really need hibernation, nVidia is much better than nv [03:11] ok. i'm newbie, and the thing is the following: i installed windows after ubuntu 9.04 and i lost the dual boot. following the documentation i tried to reinstall https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows butit can't find the file. i'm sure the file exists because i can search it manually, but if i try to find it using the grub interface or force to install it, it doesnt find the file stage1 [03:11] fryguy: I am cutting in half [03:11] what_if: sorry bad link http://pastebin.com/m3f6d8e22 [03:11] boss_mc: yeah, its a laptop.... i have dozens of documents open.... [03:11] is there anything like a task manager in ubuntu like in windows? [03:11] TheNovice: i got hibernate/unhibernate working with Nvidia driver, but the time it takes to turn back on is about the same as rebooting BC the nvidia driver takes a little bit to start video again.... [03:11] PCTeacher012: how are the drive partitions currently laid out [03:12] Hello! Has anyone figured out how to install older ATI gfx [03:12] cards on Ubuntu 9.04 yet? [03:12] geirha, yes, it works, but how am I supposed to get the dbus info via SSH? [03:12] chriswr: you can list the running processes in a terminal with ps ax [03:12] does it mean I'm a n00b if I'm excited to put the cube desktop and compiz fusion effects on Ubuntu lol [03:12] Wasser, personally unless there is anything super import on your 9.04 partition, just reinstall it [03:12] andrewfree: ahhh, do a "sudo killall mysqld" [03:12] partition:/dev/sda1 filesystem: ntfs size: 55.9 GiB Used: --- Unused: --- Flags: boot [03:12] chriswr: gnome-system-monitor [03:12] what_if: the problem i have is that when shutdown.... the screen goes pink.... and hangs there [03:12] Kruger: yes [03:12] Has anyone else experienced network-manager delayed connections to wireless on jaunty? [03:13] damien_: it's not possible without downgrading X (not fun at all, and will probably cause limitless problems) [03:13] fryguy: partition:/dev/sda1 filesystem: ntfs size: 55.9 GiB Used: --- Unused: --- Flags: boot [03:13] ae88925: yep [03:13] fryguy: I'm going to make fire effects when I close and open windows! [03:13] iam_techno: ok, but then I would have to reconfigure everything (not that it's much=P) [03:13] allright , thnx [03:13] TheNovice: never even heard of that.... curious though. Not sure I can help ... [03:13] I wonder if my 8400 graphics card can even handle that [03:13] boss_mc, damn that really sucks.. [03:13] Kruger: yep [03:13] Kruger: or you can spend your time getting a more efficient, more usable desktop rather than "cool effects" [03:13] hi every1, im kind new to ubuntu, since a installed jaunty 9.04, i cant connect to my wireless connection, but i can see her through the network manager. and she doesnt have password. [03:13] ae88925 sometimes WICD works better [03:14] damien_: stick with radeon driver or buy a nvidia card... sorry [03:14] boss_mc: any way to use hibernation with nvidia drivers? [03:14] fryguy: Is there any way to reduce the delay? They worked so hard to reduce boot time. Now instead of waiting for boot, I'm waiting for NetworkManager. [03:14] ok got a problem trying to install ubuntu on my desktop my desktop has vista already installed on it so i added a hard drive to my desktop and installed ubuntu on it without modifying the vista partitions on my other two drives. now i boot up and it goes straight to vista. when i tried changinhg the boot order of the hard said it was a non systems disk... any help? [03:14] ae88925: no idea [03:14] fryguy: partition:/dev/sda1 filesystem: ntfs size: 55.9 GiB Used: --- Unused: --- Flags: boot is how it is laid out [03:14] kickagirl: your wireless connection is a she? [03:14] PCTeacher012: and that's the only partition? [03:14] !wireless | kickagirl [03:14] kickagirl: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:14] fryguy: I don't think I'd notice 2 seconds in improved performance when I'm sending emails and browsing websites [03:14] TheNovice: no idea, I don't use it, I just know it's flaky [03:14] boss_mc, i got an x800 :( [03:14] Kruger: i wasn't talking about performance [03:14] I can't access my SMB share from my windows system, it says it's not accessible and "The paramter is incorrect." Can anyone point me in the right direction to fix this? [03:14] fryguy: yes, and it will not let me resize it even in GParted === rachel is now known as Guest83614 [03:14] Wasser, the only other route is to find something that allows you to mess around with NTLDR, which is 10x harder to do and is out of my expertise. [03:14] Kruger: i was talking about efficiency and usability. if i was talking about performance i would have said performance [03:14] damien_: too old [03:15] ldiamond: dbus is a bit of a mystery to me I'm afraid. You could try asking in #dbus [03:15] what_if: nothing was running :/ [03:15] PCTeacher012: boot to windows and run scandisk then, ntfs partition is probably messed up [03:15] boss_mc, I tryed to edit the xorg.conf to use "ati" drivers. No sucsses.. [03:15] PCTeacher012: or it's mounted and locked [03:15] fryguy: you just threw a lot of words at my face [03:15] fryguy: okay, i dont think it is mounted... how can i check? [03:15] PCTeacher012: mount [03:15] andrewfree: run "netstat -ln | grep 3306" that will tell you if something is taking you mysql port [03:15] iam_techno: ok, as i assume (pretty much correctly) that you far more than me. I guess I will stick with reinstalling :(. but any ideas why it can't find the file? [03:15] boss_mc: thanks bro [03:16] geirha, thank you anyways, at least you found out what the problem is. I doubt I would have found that :p [03:16] andrewfree: if nothing is returned, the port is free . [03:16] PCTeacher012, Just backup important files and wipe the hdd clean, partition it, install XP, then ubuntu. Unless you want to try Wubi, I think its called. [03:16] !wubi [03:16] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [03:16] iam_techno:*that you know [03:16] anyone knows how to make work the hibernation with nvidia drivers? [03:16] no it is not mounted im restarting and fixing [03:17] Wasser, which file again? I missed that in your original post [03:17] Is there any reason why ubuntu wuld do sutch an idiotic thing like this or is it just a bug? [03:17] damien_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [03:17] boss_mc, ? [03:17] damien_: do an idiotic thing like what? [03:17] damien_: install instructions, maybe they'll help [03:18] damien_: if you're referring to the ati drivers problem, it's AMD/ATI's fault, not ubuntu's [03:18] AWAY [03:18] boss_mc, thanks man! Im out for a smoke, but ill try that as soon ill gets back :) [03:19] ldiamond: You can find it in the environment of nautilus, but there must be a better way than that. cat /proc/`pidof nautilus`/environ | tr '\0' '\n' [03:19] Anyone know a safe torrent to download xubuntu? the xubuntu site is downloading slow, i was thinking a torrent might be better. [03:19] iam_techno: the file is stage1. I can't find it using the find command in grub, and when i try to install grub it complains it can't find it either, but if I search it with the file browser, I can find it where it's supposed to be. [03:19] what_if: Yep it returned nothing [03:19] Venport: if you already have ubuntu installed you can just do apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [03:20] Wasser: are you sure you are following the directions exactly? [03:20] Ozzmosis, i have 7.10 installed (because of bad advice) so the apt-get does not seem to work... [03:20] can anyone confirm that video works in skype in ubuntu 9.04? [03:20] fryguy: actually, the first one fails already, cause the first thing to do is use the find command in grub, and grub doesnt find anything, even though the file is where it's supposed to be [03:21] Venport: ah, maybe not in 7.10 [03:21] Wasser: link to the wiki page you are using? [03:21] ozzmosis: couldnt he use apt-get upgrade? [03:21] fryguy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows and others have similar steps. I'm sure the boot folder is in partition hd0,6 [03:21] clepto: dist-upgrade to 9.04? would take a while and might break a few things :) [03:22] Wasser, as far as finding that file, I went through the same thing except it was with stage1.5. After spending a good three days trying to figure out how to get it back I just reinstalled. I was using 8.10 at the time. [03:22] andrewfree: so, why can mysqld not bind to port 3306? Hmmm... that is odd [03:22] ozzmosis: heh yeah probably [03:22] Just a question about reinstalling ubuntu: I made a separate /home, so when I reinstall, i'll still have all my documents, but will have to redo all my settings and programs right? [03:22] vock: no [03:23] if i have an icon i want to use for a .desktop entry in the menu, where should i put it so i can use it? [03:23] vock: your home directory stores (almost) all of your settings for all of your programs [03:23] vock: gnome settings are kept under $HOME [03:23] andrewfree: what address is mysqld trying to assign in the config? it is normally 127.0.0.1. [03:23] vock though /etc and /usr/share have some settings you'll have to redoo [03:23] vock: there will only be a couple of things like /etc/apt/sources.list that might need redoing [03:24] Wasser: if hyou are sure of that, then just run that root command and ignore the find commands then [03:24] raevol: .local/share/icons or /usr/local/share/icons if all users should be able to use it [03:24] fryguy: that's what i did. the root command works fine, but the next step, setup(hd0) fails saying it can't find the file... [03:24] RHorse, ozzmosis,fryguy: thanks, so if i just copy my /etc/ folder i should be okay? [03:25] geirha: thanks [03:25] vock I hv regular backups of /home /etc and /var [03:25] perfect, thanks [03:25] hello [03:25] Wasser: did you run grub as root [03:25] fryguy: i used sudo -i [03:26] hi guys, whats the best VRML 2.0 viewer under ubuntu? [03:26] vock: probably yes [03:26] what_if: yea idk, it dont think its configured right or something. [03:26] andrewfree: you can maually assign an address with "sudo mysqld --bind-address=127.0.0.1" or if the DB is local machine only "sudo mysqld --skip-networking" [03:26] Wasser: why aren't you following the directions exactly like the wiki [03:26] this is my first time in here [03:26] I added a program called "Playonlinux" to my computer and when I start it up it says "You do not have 3d acceleration enabled" [03:26] How do I enable it? Xubuntu 9.04 [03:26] fryguy: i tried it that way too and didn't work, thats why i tried this way [03:27] I just installed ubuntu 9.04 today [03:27] what_if: Yea its local db only it looks like its doing something no errors yet. [03:27] Wasser: because i get the exact same behavior as you when running grub as a non-priviledged user, and it works as the wiki documents when running as root, so I would make sure i was actually running as root if i were you [03:28] can i tell firefox to open tabs zoomed-in? [03:28] Hello everyone, i just finished installing my web server sucessfully, but how can i log into it to use ftp to update files from another computer?? [03:28] jhonnyboy: ssh is the standard recommendation [03:28] jhonnyboy: you might want to consider using SCP instead [03:28] openssh-server [03:28] how do i enable 3d acceleration in xubuntu 9.04? [03:29] So i can't log in using ftp? === bk|away is now known as bk [03:29] do i have to use SSH or SCP instead? [03:29] richfrog1: enable, configure, or install the proper driver for your video card [03:29] andrewfree: so mysql started on 127.0.0.1? ? [03:29] jhonnyboy: you don't have to, but it's going to be faster, easier, and more secure [03:29] jhonnyboy, you could install an ftp server, but ssh is more secure, and most ftp clients will use ssh [03:29] fryguy: i just tried it again and nothing. the thing is that before installing windows, i tried to find the file using the grub interface and all (all the steps except setup (hd0), just for testing purposes) and it worked fine, now from the livecd, it doesn't work [03:29] how can i set up ssh then? [03:29] jhonnyboy put a ssh or ftp server on it [03:29] andrewfree: so mysql started on 127.0.0.1? ? [03:29] jhonnyboy: install openssh-server [03:29] !ssh [03:29] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [03:30] ati radeon express 200? [03:30] jhonnyboy: apt-get install openssh-server [03:30] fryguy: then i have to configure it? [03:30] jhonnyboy: no [03:30] jhonnyboy: it's preconfigured [03:30] yeah I what to set up a ssh server to for pentest resons [03:30] how do I start a plain X session in alt+ctrl+f2 [03:30] putty can be found on the standard repo as well, no need to download manually. [03:30] what are some good front ends for scp? mc? [03:30] without stopping my current one [03:30] RHorse: Nautilus [03:31] Fryguy how do i do that? [03:31] RHorse: there is sshfs [03:31] reaally? cool [03:31] RHorse: fuse provides an interface to it via gvfs, so pretty much any file manager can do it [03:31] i would like to get to know for what purpğses the servers are being used.... [03:31] *purposes [03:31] richfrog1: find the driver you have, and then do a search for information on setting it up [03:31] RHorse: also sshfs will let you mount it as a virtual filesystem [03:31] hi guys, whats the best VRML 2.0 viewer under ubuntu 9.04? [03:31] !best | jrdave [03:31] jrdave: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [03:32] how do i find out what driver i got? [03:32] fryguy thanks [03:32] richfrog1: /var/log/Xorg.0.log [03:32] I try to do a umount /dev/sda4 but it says device is busy. I would nto know what with though. How can I check? [03:32] through a terminal? [03:32] what_if: let me get a telnet server setup on my laptop so I can just send the pastebin stuff eaiser copying it is not very fast [03:32] tuxwulf fuser [03:32] tuxwulf: possibly with lsof [03:32] ubottu: ok.. can u give me A vrml viewer I could use? [03:32] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:33] andrewfree: lol, ok. [03:33] fryguy what do i do with this-/var/log/Xorg.0.log [03:33] my father wants me to install ubuntu now that he has seen it on my computer,you think it is a good idea to install it for him? [03:33] boshhead, you should be able to do startx -- :1 ; you should do it as a different user [03:33] fryguy: well, i guess i will reinstall ubuntu, thanks anyway [03:33] De [03:33] tuxwulf: sudo fuser -c /dev/sda4 [03:33] Demonicdata: oops, it depends [03:34] hi folks [03:34] what does he need [03:34] nickrud: that starts gdm too, i just want a plain X window [03:34] Demonicdata, yes, as long as you both understand you'll be doing all the sysadmin for a while [03:34] what does a " -w " flag do? [03:34] QUESTION - When I installed 9.04, I installed it with only my main drive attached. AFterwards I added my 3 backup drives to /etc/fstab with their UUID so they mount automatically to certain shares. Well, they somehow changed device ID tags. Now /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdc1 are switched. It ultimately isn't a big deal due to me using UUIDs, but I still want to know WHY they switched and how Ic an switch them back. Any ideas? [03:34] geirha: Thanks! Checking.... [03:34] err switch [03:34] boss_mc, startx -- :1 ? no, gdm shouldn't start. it would use .xinitrc if it exists. [03:34] Kruger: Depends on what command it's used on [03:34] !pm | damien_ [03:34] damien_: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [03:34] i got question with video input again [03:35] Demonicdata: install is as dualboot [03:35] Demonicdata: what reason did he give for wanting to switch ? Ubuntu is great , and i run it for my family and they really love it. But they knew the trade offs before hand. [03:35] boss_mc, I just did it here to check my memory; the bit about different user was a firefox profile isue I ran into immediately [03:35] fryguy: Ok just finished installing openssh-server. How can i test it out? Do i have to set up a username/password to log in? [03:35] if its used like sudo ../../b43-fwcutter-011/b43-fwcutter -w [03:35] ok nevermind [03:35] boss_mc, oh im sorry. But ofc if i got this working ill make an howto :) [03:35] he thought the animations were nice,also I told him you didn't need to do anti-virus on it [03:35] jhonnyboy: no, it uses your existing user/pass. [03:35] ozzmosis, may i paste an url here? [03:36] can anyone tell [03:36] Roasted: answer [03:36] ozzmosis: so this is sort of the same thing as ftp? [03:36] how to get a video input [03:36] I only went back to linux after ten years about 3 days ago [03:36] Kruger: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jaunty/en/man1/b43-fwcutter.1.html [03:36] jhonnyboy: basically yes, but more secure [03:36] from camera or other device [03:36] but it seems pretty simple,its got automatic installs now,no command line stuff [03:36] jhonnyboy first make sure it's turned on [03:36] well for the most part [03:36] Roasted: as hardware is inited the order changes. [03:36] geirha: ... seems to do something, but what does "/dev/sda4: 16895c" mean? [03:36] nickrud: I can never remember which bit gdm is... but my desktop was loaded, along with startup programs etc, I want a grey screen with an X cursor in the middle, nothing else...! [03:36] RHorse: how can i do that? [03:36] Demonicdata, then ubuntu is both the best and worst for you: it simply works, but it's got a lot of extra stuff between you and the hardware [03:36] jhonnyboy: it uses the same usernames/passwords as everything else on your system [03:36] damien_: how far have you got? [03:37] RHorse: apt-get turns on ssh server after you install it [03:37] tuxwulf ps -A|less give you list of pids. [03:37] tuxwulf: the process with pid 16895 is using it. "ps -ef | grep 16895" [03:37] Oh it's a PID... [03:37] ozzmosis, may i paste an url here? [03:37] boss_mc, well. Not that far.. :/ [03:37] anternat: why are you asking me? [03:37] anternat: yes [03:37] boss_mc, i dont get it, why do i have to install the mesa drivers? [03:37] http://www.ircstat.com/ozzmosis/ozzmosis.htm [03:37] jhonnyboy then kill it with sudo kill -9 [pid] [03:37] Roasted: without uuid the drive order can change between kernels and mods [03:37] well thanx :) [03:37] anybody that's good with cron have a moment to help me troubleshoot my overnight script that seems to run but nothing is backed up? [03:37] ps - ef | grep 16895 [03:38] boss_mc, ah, then edit .xinitrc for the startup you want. X is defaulting to gnome-session; you could just run xterm in that file. Or add your preferred wm [03:38] damien_: they are the drivers you're planning on using... [03:38] Hello, what should I add to /etc/fstab to make my SD card automount as rw to all? [03:38] I tried to install Jaunty from CD onto blank Seagate 1.5TB drive, but got "grub-install failed. This is a fatal error." If I install grub manually, can someone paste the /boot/grub/menu.lst, please? [03:38] tuxwulf: fuser can also kill any process using it if you add the -k flag [03:38] hello anyone? [03:38] I can't connect to my server, i can see the website online, but when i do a ping test it says request timed out [03:38] I've got to leave the house and am helping someone (andrewfree) with a problem. Can I pass all my info so far to someone so he doesn't get dropped ? [03:38] Maybe this is what's giving me problems? [03:38] geirha that's nice! [03:38] It is his mysqld not starting, unable to bind to port [03:39] geirha: / RHorse > Check! Thanks guys! [03:39] jhonnyboy: not all sites respond to ping [03:39] Roasted: example, when I first install a system the pata hardware loaded first then sata second. /dev/sda is on the pata. [03:39] so what would you say is the 'tradeoffs' for going with ubuntu other then with gaming(my dad isn't a gamer,other then Solitaire) [03:39] boss_mc, yeah but look at this line from the guide: [03:39] Section "Device" [03:39] can some one help me find where my firmware folder is for my wireless card [03:39] Identifier "Radeon 9600" [03:39] Driver "ati" [03:39] damien_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:40] shh FloodBot1 [03:40] what_if: When are you going to be back? [03:40] I might have to bbl myself [03:40] hi everyone can i get some help [03:40] Roasted: after a kernel upgrade the sata driver loads first and /dev/sda is now called /dev/sdf. [03:40] !ask | kalsriv [03:40] kalsriv: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[03:41] does anyone know how I would find out where 9.04 puts its firmware?? [03:41] damien_: yeah, but mesa supply the GLX + DRI modules you're going to use [03:41] jhonnyboy: what server are you trying to log into, what what are you trying to log into? ssh? [03:41] jhonnyboy: did you install openssh-server on the server? can you ssh to it? [03:41] what_if: Oh nvm then [03:41] fryguy: yep, ssh. I isntalled the openssh server but dont know what to do next [03:41] Barridus: what do you need [03:41] boshhead, ah, gimme a sec :) [03:41] ozzmosis: how can i ssh to it? [03:41] jhonnyboy: well what do you WANT do to? [03:41] boss_mc, ah, gimme a sec :) [03:41] todo [03:41] !ssh | jhonnyboy [03:41] jhonnyboy: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol.

[03:42] Barridus: you may need to use full pathnames in the script that cron is calling [03:42] geirha: windows [03:42] andrewfree: sry I couldn't help quicker. You may try a reboot if something is not on that port, but the port is in use. [03:42] xp [03:42] so just connect to the server using an ssh client and have at it [03:42] what_if: I have to go brush my dog but just tell me if someone else can help and I tried reboot [03:42] how do I make a mp3 play when an open office presentation (impress) slideshow is opened and have it keep playing [03:42] !winscp | jhonnyboy [03:42] jhonnyboy: SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ [03:43] nick_schembri, well the script works just fine when started in terminal manually without root permission. it fires overnight as scheduled, but nothing is backed up [03:43] ozzmosis, full paths? [03:43] andrewfree: I tried to find someone else in here, nobody picked up on it. [03:43] boss_mc, you can do this for testing: install twm , then echo twm > .xinitrc , then run startx -- :1 . Use the left mouse button for a menu [03:43] Barridus: eg. if you're calling rsync, use /usr/bin/rsync, not just rsync [03:44] andrewfree: if nobody can help here there is a mysql channel... wanna hop over there and I'll dumo what I think I know so far on someone ? [03:44] Barridus: it may be missing part of the env. ie path. [03:44] nickrud: I don't have an .xinitrc... [03:44] dumo=dump [03:44] ozzmosis, oh, really? [03:44] Barridus: cron jobs basically have a very minimal environment, with no default search path [03:44] boss_mc: so make one [03:44] Hi! Is anyone here running Ubuntu 9.04? I would like some help. [03:44] boss_mc, create it [03:44] !ask | kwtm [03:44] kwtm: 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. :-) [03:44] ozzmosis, nick_schembri - ah ok that may be it. i'll try that then. [03:44] what's the difference between a file ID and a filename [03:44] * nickrud is amazed he actually remembered startx -- :1 first try [03:45] Barridus you can use the "at" command to test your script [03:45] Kruger: file ID? [03:45] Kruger: in what context [03:45] ozzmosis: well just ID it doesn't say file [03:45] nick_schembri, at? i don't know what that is [03:45] fryguy: Thank you for letting Ubottu tell me how to ask questions. I will ask the same question I asked above: Could someone please point me to a copy of /boot/grub/menu.lst so I could install it manually? [03:45] man at [03:45] Barridus: man at [03:45] ok putty worked for me [03:45] Kruger: what says that? [03:45] well I just extracted some files and it said: "This file is recognized as: ID: FW13 filename : wl_apsta_mimo.o [03:45] i got to see my index.html file [03:45] jhonnyboy: great [03:46] can i copy it to my local machine and then replace it using putty? [03:46] copy the index.html file [03:46] what_if: oh ok sure ill go over there [03:46] kwtm: that file is machine specific. There's a manpage available for it if you need to recreate it for your machine [03:46] jhonnyboy: no, PuTTY is just a terminal emulator. you need WinSCP. [03:46] Barridus: that was mean. at is like cron but [03:46] jhonnyboy: just edit it directly on the machine in a shell, or use winscp or another sftp client to do the transfers back and forth [03:46] kwtm, the best way to create a menu.lst in ubuntu is to have the system do it. Move the one in /boot/grub/ out of the way (rename, move) then run sudo update-grub [03:46] Barridus: you can make the job start when you want without adding it to a file [03:47] Barridus: the job runs once. :) [03:47] fryguy: Oh, no. I am "creating" it in the first place, not "re"create it, since Jaunty won't install it properly on my system. (I am stuck trying to complete the installation onto a blank drive) [03:47] <[D]> poha [03:47] <[D]> no [03:47] kwtm: right, which is why i directed you to look at the manpage, which highlights all of the syntax for it [03:47] kwtm, try chrooting into the install from another (the live cd, for example) then running the update-grub command [03:47] nickrud: Oh, will "sudo update-grub" do it if grub has never been installed in the first place? I will try that. Ok to do from live Ubuntu CD, right? [03:48] kwtm, be sure to chroot [03:48] regarding these instructions: i don't have an hicd.conf file: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=638114 [03:48] nickrud: There *is* no install to chroot into; installation didn't complete. (Well, I guess technically it did.) [03:48] do I create one, or do I put things somewhere else? [03:48] boss_mc, chek priv :) [03:48] fryguy: How do I know which kernel to use? I did look at the man page but it doesn't seem to say. [03:49] anyone familiar with bluetooth mice here? [03:49] kwtm: use the latest versioned one unless you have a reason to use otherwise [03:49] winscp worked! :D [03:49] oh no .my kernel can't work!!! [03:49] kwtm, you may need to install grub from inside the install. chroot is your friend while repairing the system. If the install didn't complete (and grub is the only thing that failed) just installing grub should do it [03:49] thanks guys [03:49] how do you exit "man" please. [03:49] Barridus, q [03:49] Barridus: hit q [03:49] Barridus: press "q" [03:49] strange my net is really slow when downloading ubuntu,i got 90 peers [03:49] thanks guys [03:49] Barridus: assuming you haven't changed your default MANPAGER environment variable [03:49] nickrud: Okay... I'll need pointers on how to chroot. I'm going to read the man page. [03:49] how do I use grep to search for a filename? [03:49] got another question, how can i make another profile or username/password so that others can log in as well? [03:50] iamslango: i have a bluetooth mouse ,i wouldn't say i am intimate with it though. if you state your problem people will help if they can [03:50] Kruger: ls | grep filename [03:50] Kruger: grep is used to search inside of files, you want to use updatedb/locate or find to find files, see the manapges [03:50] Kruger: find is better for that. find -name "*something*.txt" [03:50] can some one tell me what this line does? [03:50] jhonnyboy: use the adduser command (or edit the necessary things in /etc manually) [03:50] nick_schembri - I know that the device ID's don't really matter, but I'm just not sure why mine did that. I didn't update/upgrade anything. I was in Vista, rebooted, and I noticed it was weird. [03:50] echo "$(nc localhost 7634 | cut -d'|' -f4)" [03:50] fryguy: On my other Ubuntu system (8.04), the kernel has "vmlinuz-2.6.24-24-generic root=UUID=ca5822a1-694f-4593-8797-0027f513e16b". How do I know what the corresponding codes are on the system I just (failed to) install? [03:50] mase_work, /etc/bluetooth/hicd.conf doesn't exist... I'm wondering if config files have changed since this wiki was updated: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=638114 [03:50] fryguy: thanks fryguy :D [03:50] Kruger: to search a filename in the current directory "ls | grep , you can also use "locate s/wiki/forum post/ [03:51] kwtm: the UUID should be listed in /etc/fstab [03:51] nick_schembri, heh using "at" looks complicated [03:51] kwtm: or you can use the uuid command and specify a partition to see it [03:51] fryguy: Ah, I see. Hope is slowly returning... let me check on my failed system. [03:52] Roasted: not sure. it might be that the Livecd used one kernel and the install used an other. [03:52] nickrud: cheers, twm was minimal enough! [03:52] kwtm, sudo blkid in the 8.04 will show you the uuid of the partion [03:52] boss_mc, yeah, it is :) [03:52] iamslango: well didn't really have to do anything for mine to work so i'm not really sure. others may know. is the problem your having that the config files are gone ? [03:52] Barridus: one minute [03:52] Computer_Man: connects to a program running on the local machine at port 7634 and does some various string processing for pretty output [03:52] nickrud: my ps3 controller is now a mouse (or will be when I next reboot...) === `Matir is now known as Matir [03:52] nickrud: It's so minimal I thought it had failed to load [03:53] boss_mc: heh, you should see the wm I use :) [03:53] boss_mc, why I made a point of mentioning the left click :) [03:53] mase_work, not so much *gone* as were never there. This ubuntu install is only hours old, so I certainly haven't broken anything. [03:53] is it posible to format to ext4 using the minimal install cd? [03:53] nick_schembri - but my system was installed a month ago. I'm not sure why ti decided to change just now. [03:53] fryguy: what do you use? [03:53] boss_mc: xmonad [03:53] samd_: I imagine so [03:53] well it is part of conky and isn't working [03:53] nickrud: I'm installing 9.04 on a desktop; I'm just using the 8.04 on my laptop as a reference because I don't have a working 9.04 system to compare to. [03:53] problem with nvidia driver - 8400 GS - nvidia-settings gives error msg - nvidia-xconfig does not help [03:53] I imagine the software changed to use a different configuration system, and it hasn't propagated to the forum/wiki yet [03:53] installed nvidia-restricted drivers - jockey nvidia-settings shows generic nvidia driver activated [03:53] ozzmosis: ight, thanks [03:53] kwtm, ah. well, you can still do it from the live cd [03:53] get no nvidia splash(never did) - if log out xserver, then log back in - x restarts normal [03:54] but, if $ sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart, get a blank screen with flashing cursor in upper left - OS reboot restarts gnome desktop [03:54] i'm getting "localhost (127.0.0.1) 7634 (?) : Connection Refused [03:54] Hello! My Dell used to run WIN98 and I then installed Ubuntu, booting from grub on a floppy. Have installed Ubuntu a couple of times since, but still am prompted with an A: drive error. How can I fit it? [03:54] fryguy: pretty minimal... [03:54] over and over [03:54] mdg: A: drive? [03:54] nickrud: Okay, so I would do 'chroot /path/to/rootdir_of_harddrive grub-update'? [03:54] Computer_Man: there needs to be something listening there to read from [03:54] Computer_Man: that line will establish a TCP connection to port 7364 (that's what 'nc', aka 'netcat' does). then, 'cut' will get the 4th field (separated by '|') characters of each line of text returned by 'nc'. then whatever data is returned will be printed by 'echo'. you will get "connection refused" if that port is not open. (why would it be? where did you find that command?) [03:54] kwtm, that's part of it. There's some prep work; a sec while I find a reference [03:54] Computer_Man: if there isn't a program running that is listening on that port, then you will just get connection refused [03:55] mdg: A: is the diskette drive ... do you have one? [03:55] * IndyGunFreak is away: [03:55] ozzmosis: floppy drive - I never figured out how to fix it stopping [03:55] Hey guys, i have just installed Citrix ICA client on ubuntu 9.4. When trying to connect to my works citrix page it asks for a certificate. I have found the certs needed, copied them to the correct place however firefox dosnt detect them. [03:55] mdg: what's the error? [03:55] Roasted: i think that is the point of uuid's. use the uuid and the kernel take care of the hard work. :) [03:55] nickrud: Sorry, that should be 'chroot /path/to/rootdir_of_harddrive sudo update-grub' [03:55] fryguy: adduser worked like a charm! Would you happen to know of any software that would back up a directory after a certain time period? [03:55] it is part of a conky script/s that i'm trying to get working. [03:56] jhonnyboy: I use rsnapshot and cron [03:56] whole file is [03:56] jhonnyboy: cron + any backup solution (i like rdiff-backup, but there are doesn'ts of options) [03:56] jhonnyboy: well, rsnapshot from cron. [03:56] dozens [03:56] ozzmosis: When I turn the computer on, the screen flashes the big blue Dell world with www.dell.com, then tells me keyboard- detected, legacy mouse- detected, usb legacy enagled and then A: Drive Error. Press to Resume [03:56] kwtm, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub#Preparing%20Your%20Working%20Environment has the steps to get a proper chroot env [03:56] nick_schembri - I understand, but I like things to be in order in my system monitor because my 3 spare drives are backup drives, so when theyre out of order its just kind of a peeve. [03:56] iamslango: i wasn't implying you had broken anything. What i meant was that the inclusion or exclusion of a particular file is usually not an issue if the software can work with out it. So is your issue that bluetooth isn't working with out it ,or that you need to add something into the config files ? [03:57] mdg: so go into your bios and change the settings so that it doesn't give you that error. messing with your bios is outside of the scope of an operating system [03:57] folks...with Jaunty using upstart for system boot do the runlevels change. There is no more inittab. [03:57] whole file is 2 lines [03:57] what's the safest way to cd into a folder that says "access denied" [03:57] mdg: ah right. you probably need to go into the BIOS and disable the diskette drive. or if you have a diskette drive, find out why it's not working. maybe the cables have come loose. not a Ubuntu problem, anyway. [03:57] fryguy: Tried that [03:57] one before is #!/bin/bash [03:57] Kruger, sudo -i , then cd [03:57] Kruger: sudo -i first [03:57] mdg: then call dell support. your question has nothing to do with operating systems === solimar is now known as GaMbLe [03:57] great! [03:57] thanks guys [03:58] btw what would be the command to remove a user? [03:58] nickrud: Wow, this is great! I'll try it. I'll probably be away for a bit. [03:58] okay. Thanks for the advice :) [03:58] kwtm, good luck I'm hoping that grub is your only issue ;) [03:58] jhonnyboy: userdel [03:58] mase_work, well, allegedly I need to write some configuration to that file to get my mouse to work on startup all the time. [03:58] Roasted: this issue was hard before uuid. Raids would move around. [03:58] jhonnyboy: deluser or userdel, i forget [03:58] um I typed sudo -i and now i'm in some root directory and ls doesn't work [03:58] DCC SEND "roflcopterstillworks" 0 0 0 [03:58] jhonnyboy: It's "useryougetlost". [03:58] it's working when I set it up manually via the applet [03:58] jhonnyboy: I'm kidding. It's "deluser"/ [03:58] lol [03:58] um I typed sudo -i and now i'm in some root directory and ls doesn't work [03:59] Kruger: so cd back to where you were [03:59] oy [03:59] nickrud: I hope it's the only issue, too. I can't believe we're at v9.04 and it still can't install itself properly. Maybe it's SATA that it's having trouble with, or the very large size of the drive. [03:59] hmm [03:59] can't they just make it like windows where you just drag things inside [03:59] * eXcon looks around [03:59] kwtm: lol [03:59] fryguy: actually both work. I just tried. and just with no options, they give different output. and on FreeBSD it's rmuser. isn't compatibility great? :) [03:59] This isn't #Gentoo ! [03:59] kwtm, I've had problems with mixed sata/pata systems, but otherwise it's installed well [03:59] (sorry) [03:59] Know-nothing basic end-user here. Looking for a good wireless internet. I know AT&T is said to work well with Ubuntu 9.04, but they charge a LOT. Plus they don't provide as much coverage as Verizon. [04:00] eXcon: this is Sparta. [04:00] lol [04:00] Does anyone know if Verizon wireless USB cards will work with Ubuntu out of the box? [04:00] how to nstal propietary drivers nvidia? [04:00] Hi [04:00] great thank you so much for all your help everyone :) [04:00] jhonnyboy: good luck [04:00] is there any program that can play ogg audio files back to back with no gap in between [04:00] ozzmosis: thanks :) [04:00] I swear I've googled many different ways, but no luck so far. [04:00] TheNovice, system->admin->hardware drivers [04:00] or is there a program to join ogg audio files together? [04:00] also, why does my default xorg.conf not have a ServerLayout section? [04:00] out of curiosity how would this have been done with ftp? would i have needed to download an ftp server? [04:00] I was wondering if I could just clone a dual-boot setup to another larger drive with dd? [04:01] iamslango: ok so thats your actual problem :) not that the config file isn't there. ok so my suggestion would be to try creating the file your self, it could just be that it only uses the file if an override is necessary. Other than that someone may know the answer to your problem. [04:01] hacker_kid tried Amarok? [04:01] iamslango: because xorg changed the way it does things recently [04:01] Anyone use Amarok? I'm trying to play music from my windows drive, anyone know how to do that? [04:01] nickrud: that didn't actually work for my geforce 6600. got it installed anyway though. [04:01] Need help with Samba. Got connect, just can't login from another comp on my network. [04:01] iamslango: X guess everything missing from your xorg.conf [04:01] * mase_work loves amarok [04:01] isaac_, no i havent, i will look at it thanks [04:01] iamslango, the new X builds that stuff on the fly, like a real os :) [04:01] I see [04:01] well yay for Xorg.conf :-) [04:01] ozzmosis, hm. It should, but by finding an older driver [04:01] m0r0n, I assume you have the win partition mounted [04:01] nickrud: just got an empty box [04:01] Yessir. [04:01] Careful with xorg.conf iamslango [04:02] m0r0n - you can mount the ntfs drive with the proper mount flags [04:02] I typically like to be explicit, but I guess, if it's not broke, don't fix it [04:02] ozzmosis, but I've been away from ubuntu and that's one thing that changes every single release [04:02] I tried to follow instructions for turning off my laptop touchpad, and it messed my whole install up. [04:02] nickrud: ah, I wouldn't know. only been using it a few weeks. [04:02] isaac_, I'm adding an InputDevice section for my Mighty Mouse [04:02] > I have this: block_number = address/mycache.params.block_size;. If both address and block_size are unsigned, will the result round down or round up? [04:02] Turns out you don't modify xorg.conf as much in Jaunty as you used to. [04:02] argh my cron overnight backup script still dowsn't work [04:02] iamslango, it all works like you'd expect if you want to do it by hand though. [04:02] nickrud: i want to use nvidia.com drivers not the ones from ubuntu [04:03] m0r0n, you could try just copying the music to your win partition. [04:03] TheNovice: why [04:03] TheNovice, any particular reason? [04:03] has anyone had some luck with cloning installs with partimage? [04:03] am i better to change the port number? [04:03] alright [04:03] what does it mean when instead of a $ sign you have a # before the curser [04:03] restarting X [04:03] brb [04:03] Does anyone know if a Verizon wireless USB internet card will work with Ubuntu out of the box? [04:03] ubuntu nvidia drivers, crashes when i hibernate [04:03] Kruger: it means you are the root user [04:03] The music is in the windows partition, and I want to play it in Ubuntu [04:03] fryguy: what do you call a non root user? [04:03] Kruger, you're root rather than a regular user with # [04:03] Kruger: a nonroot user [04:03] fryguy: nickrud nvidia video crashes when i hibernate, with ubuntu drivers [04:03] m0r0n you have to mount the Win partition first. [04:03] I have [04:04] Barridus: I'm having trouble producing a onliner example of "at" [04:04] oh come on! [04:04] Bit of a newbie question, but do you need to install Ubuntu off of the disc you burned in Mac OSX 10.5? I tried booting from it, but the disc ejected and my computer started up normally. [04:04] what's the command to make a sys link [04:04] no CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE? [04:04] m0r0n and........ [04:04] what are we savages? [04:04] iamslango YOU KNOW IT!! :D [04:04] Kruger: If you're not certain who you are, type "whoami" [04:04] TheNovice, that's a reason :) But I'm not going to offer an answer because everything I know is obsolete [04:04] iamslango its now altGr printscreen k [04:04] can anyone help me with partitioning? [04:04] stuntman021: you need to hold down option when you are booting to boot from a cd on macs [04:04] m0r0n, if it's mounted your good to go. otherwise mount it with "mount -t ntfs-3g "drive-name" /dir/to/mount/ === YUKI is now known as wet-chan [04:04] !ask | bluewook [04:04] bluewook: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:05] nickrud: obsolete? well the drivers on nvidia.com are more updated [04:05] Ah. [04:05] boss_mc, still same problem.. [04:05] m0r0n if you already mounted the Win partition, what's holding you up? [04:05] NimbleRabit you mean symlink? [04:05] got a newb question. i had to hard power off my machine, and now my speakers just crackle when sound is played in ubuntu, but when i restart my machine and go to windows, the sound works fine over there [04:05] I tried holding down c because some guide told me to. [04:05] When I open Amarok it's there, but when I click play it start's doing something that I don't quite know what it is.. it looks like it's scanning and organizing the music, as it shows the name of everysingle song [04:05] nick_schembri, hehe, i just scheduled it to run 5 mins ago since i was almost at a fresh hour [04:05] Thanks! [04:05] TheNovice, no, my knowledge of nvidia and linux interaction is obsolete [04:05] TheNovice, I [04:05] I don't really know what is going on there [04:05] or "who am i" [04:05] WARNING: All config files need .confi: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release [04:05] what does that mean [04:05] m0r0n let it go. It will finish in time. [04:05] 've not been running linux regularly for the last 6 months and things change that fast [04:05] m0r0n, I meant copy to you ubuntu partition [04:05] damien_: what problem? [04:05] I have [04:06] It's done it 3 times [04:06] Oh.......... [04:06] And as for copying.. [04:06] hello [04:06] I don't realy want to waste space by doing that [04:06] boss_mc, ex youtube uses 100% cpu and laggs.. [04:06] really* [04:06] is there any way i could fix this problem? btw im running linux on a dual boot if that helps at all [04:06] apparently it reads the HDD temp [04:06] reed__: sounds (sorry) like a driver bug [04:06] where is this port at that i need to open up? [04:07] reed__: what sound card is it? [04:07] m0r0n export the song collection to external storage, delete from Win, resize Win and Linux partitions and make a big FAT32 partition, use THAT to store the music (and everything else) [04:07] nick_schembri, http://paste.ubuntu.com/ see anything inherently wrong with the script? the echo command is the only thing that works when cron runs it, however the whole script works fine when i run it manually in terminal [04:07] I freed up 20gb of space from my main partition (vista) so from 280 to 260gb, but when i put the disc in to install it doesn't use all 20gb of the space and just re-allocates it to the vista partition. How do I allocate all 20gb to ubuntu? [04:07] Computer_Man: ? [04:07] arg! m0r0n, your name is quit fitting. type "df -h" or "fstab" in a terminal to see if the drive is mounted! [04:07] well thanks. looks like i have some hunting to do [04:07] Then Ubuntu and Windows will both have no trouble accessing it. [04:07] m0r0n if its scanning the database, you must let it finish otherwise it will atemp to do it again [04:07] Computer_Man: what are you trying to do [04:07] part of conky displays data about the hard drive. [04:07] im gonna try ubuntu on my HP pavillion n5495 laptop, which version should i get? [04:07] apparently this script does that. [04:07] amarok looks good but it isnt coming through the speakers [04:07] how to get the kernel sources, headers ? [04:07] SnowKitty: 9.04 :) [04:07] isaac no dont use fat32 [04:07] SnowKitty depends how fast your HP pavilion is. [04:07] TheNovice: www.kernel.org [04:08] would anyone suggest that I clone my entire 80gb hd with partimage or DD? [04:08] 1.06ghz tualatin P3, 512MB ram, 30gb hdd [04:08] rafael1: why not, [04:08] m0r0n, I'm playing AC/DC on my windows partition with mplayer and it seems to play fine. [04:08] i tried xubuntu 9.04 and the video was VERY messed up [04:08] damien_: that's a flash issue, not a driver issue (well, a bit of both but mostly flash sucks...) [04:08] Ech [04:08] SnowKitty, i'd try hardy 8.04 [04:08] SnowKitty good luck. :/ [04:08] It is mounted for the third time. And korshari1, I don't know if it's scanning, I really don't know what it's doing [04:08] SnowKitty: what video card? [04:08] intel 830M i think [04:08] m0r0n amarok 2 or1.4? [04:09] 2 [04:09] boss_mc, know any good flash players for ubntu x64? === rafael1 is now known as tomo-kami [04:09] I'll ask again: Does anyone know if a Verizon USB wireless internet card will work with Ubuntu out of the box? [04:09] !flash | damien_ [04:09] damien_: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [04:09] i use the adobe 64-bit flash player [04:09] well i dont think anyone knows whats going on with amarok2, do yourself a favour and UPGRADE to 1.4 [04:09] anyone know what this means [04:09] anyone know what this means [04:09] oops [04:09] Kruger: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:09] SnowKitty, sounds like a video driver issue to me [04:09] yeah [04:09] ozzmosis, http://paste.ubuntu.com/ any idea why the echo line would be the only thing that works when cron runs it, yet the whole script works when run manually? [04:09] dang up arrow [04:09] isaac, from what I hear it will not work [04:10] WARNING: All config files need .confi: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release [04:10] but, I of course could be wrong [04:10] Barridus: re-check that URL [04:10] google it my friend... [04:10] all other sound apps work fine but amarok doesnt come through [04:10] xubuntu 8.10 ran like crap too, it idled at like 30% cpu use or more and the video would get random garbage in it sometimes [04:10] SnowKitty, were you using the kernel's built it video driver from intel's site? [04:10] Kruger: it means stuff is going to happen later [04:10] suggestions fryguy? [04:10] Computer_Man: suggestions for what [04:10] i have no idea, i was using whatever the default install gave me [04:10] ozzmosis, lol, oops. http://paste.ubuntu.com/180008/ [04:11] conky not working for hard drive monitoring off port 7634 [04:11] Computer_Man: what is running on port 7634 that is reporting hard drive temperatures [04:11] apparently that line of code is supposed to give you the temp of the HDD [04:11] Computer_Man: no, that line of code is supposed to read data from a program running on port 7634. no program running = nothing happens [04:11] I freed up 20gb of space from my main partition (vista) so from 280 to 260gb, but when i put the disc in to install it doesn't use all 20gb of the space and just re-allocates it to the vista partition. How do I allocate all 20gb to ubuntu? [04:12] i created a gpg key via `gpg --gen-key`. now i would like to know the "key ID" somehow so that i can set my GPGKEY environment variable. how? [04:12] Barridus: I can't see anything wrong with it [04:12] henux: check gpg --list-keys [04:12] !nvidia [04:12] hmm [04:12] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [04:12] so it works after an X restart [04:12] BUT, the scroll wheel is scrolling the wrong way in Firefox :-/ [04:12] lstarnes: which of those numbers is the key id? [04:12] (the horizontally) [04:13] s/the// [04:13] henux: the public key or the private key? Which numbers are shown? [04:13] SnowKitty, So you were using the one's with the kernel. I have never had good luck with FOSS drivers. I'll check intel's site for other driver's if you'd like. [04:13] apparently hddtemp is supposed to be reporting the data [04:13] im gonna try 9.04 [04:13] Barridus: I assume you're using crontab -e to edit it [04:13] i hope i dont get the same video issues >.< [04:13] Computer_Man: do you have hddtemp installed [04:14] i really hate wasting CDRs [04:14] ozzmosis, yes that's correct. crontab -e [04:14] SnowKitty: could use a CD-RW [04:14] it says I do [04:15] i dont have any RWs lol [04:15] Barridus: try something simpler .. like /bin/date [04:15] Computer_Man: do you have it configured to run in daemon mode? [04:15] how do i configure it to run in daemon mode? [04:15] Computer_Man: or, why not just read hddtemp data directly instead of going through tcp? If you are reading local hard drive temps, there's no reason to do it the way you are doing it [04:15] I am trying to make install something its a module...and it goes a little bit then says this "*** No rule to make target `kernel/bounds.c'" and then stops anyone have any suggestions? [04:15] Computer_Man: run it with -d [04:16] Barridus: is this a bash script? [04:17] nick_schembri, i think so [04:17] does, ENVY works with JAunty? [04:17] nick_schembri: actually sh is dash in Ubuntu [04:18] !envy-ng | TheNovice [04:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about envy-ng [04:18] er [04:18] !envyng | TheNovice [04:18] TheNovice: EnvyNG is a program to install newer version of nVidia or ATi drivers, it can be found in !Universe as "envyng-gtk" (for Gtk/Gnome) or "envyng-qt" (for Qt/KDE). It is NOT a supported method to install video drivers; please only use it if standard methods fail and at your own risk - See also !BinaryDrver [04:18] ozzmosis: I found an example for sh [04:18] pegon: make sure you have satisfied all of the prequesites (sounds like you are missing kernel sources) [04:19] how do you run hddtemp wanting me to specify a drive. [04:19] anyone know what is the AX.25 in the Ham radio section ? [04:19] ozzmosis, i'm running kubuntu actually. i would have mentioned it earlier but i didn't think it was relevant [04:19] IamSOG: packet radio [04:19] Computer_Man: well, which drive do you want hddtemps for [04:19] IamSOG, are you doing a kernel compiliation? [04:19] fryguy, i have extracted the kernel source in /usr/src/ do I need to make install that or what? its just a folder right now [04:19] Barridus: not really.. ubuntu is ubuntu [04:19] only have one HDD. [04:19] having a bit of trouble burning an .iso. I tried two different isos and two different programs and each time I am unable to burn. I have two logs from brasero should anyone wish to read them. [04:20] does anyone have any suggestions for reversing the horizontal directions on the mighty mouse scroll ball? [04:20] pegon: no [04:20] hi everybody, i have a quick question regarding swap and that is: i have one swap partition ("sda5") and i enabled swapon using gparted and when i restart the system, that swap is changed to swapoff; anyway to make this permanent? [04:20] chowder, sure pastebin them [04:20] ozzmosis, well my terminals always say solidus:bash [04:20] iamtechno, ok, one sec [04:20] mimiloon: add it to /etc/fstab [04:20] what does this mean [04:20] it says ERRER:Module ndiswrapper does not exist in /proc/modules [04:20] * SnowKitty downloads 9.04 [04:20] Kruger: it means you need to install ndiswrapper [04:20] I did though [04:20] I ran the make file and make install [04:21] Barridus: only difference between kubuntu and ubuntu is the desktop manager that eventually loads .. you can do apt-get install kbuntu-desktop on an ubuntu install and you'll get kubuntu, essentially [04:21] Kruger: did you insmod it? [04:21] no [04:21] or can tell it to get the temps for all drives for future use? [04:21] ozzmosis, yeah i know, that's what i did XD [04:21] Computer_Man: i dunno, read it's manpage, or it's documentation [04:21] what does insmod mean and how do I do that [04:21] !smart | Computer_Man [04:21] Barridus: add /etc/profile; /path/yourScript.sh to the crontab or [04:21] Computer_Man: smart is another meta-package manager available for Ubuntu. It's quite stable, uses APT's repositories, can handle mirrors/multiple-connections, and is supposed to make Ubuntu BiArch-compatible. See http://labix.org/smart and https://wiki.kubuntu.org/SmartPackageManager [04:21] i restarted my computer after that install... [04:21] Kruger: sudo insmod ndiswrapper [04:21] Barridus: yeah users get bash as their default shell .. but /bin/sh is a symlink to dash, which is more of a minimal shell [04:21] Kruger: it means "insert the module into the running kernel" [04:22] !BiArch [04:22] A BiArch 64-bit system is one that comes with a complete 32-bit package system, as well. This means that you can run 32bit packages as well on your 64-bit install [04:22] ozzmosis, ah, gotcha [04:22] fryguy: insmod: can't read 'ndiswrapper': No such file or directory [04:22] I think i need to find the directory and run it in there [04:22] Kruger: try modprobe instead [04:22] fryguy: i don't no where; can you help me please? i'm new to linux [04:22] iamtechno, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m1de5a78b and http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m76d0a3fd [04:22] brb in a sec, got something in the oven [04:22] mimiloon: there is a file called fstab in the /etc/ directory, edit it and add the line for swap there [04:22] nick_schembri, just put "/etc/profile; /path/yourScript.sh" to the top of crontab? or bottom? i'm not sure what you mean here [04:23] mimiloon: see 'man fstab' for syntax [04:23] I freed up 20gb of space from my main partition (vista) so from 280 to 260gb, but when i put the disc in to install it doesn't use all 20gb of the space and just re-allocates it to the vista partition. How do I allocate all 20gb to ubuntu? [04:23] fryguy: says WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in furture release. [04:23] Barridus: minimal = less to go wrong with scripts. bash is designed to be interactive. same with tcsh, which I prefer, but each to their own. I just write scripts for /bin/sh. [04:23] night all! [04:23] Kruger: run lsmod and see if it's in the list [04:23] (he says at 4:30am.... again....) [04:23] fryguy: lsmod returns it at the top of the list [04:23] hiya, what is the cdburning software in ubuntu? [04:23] Barridus: how are you running your cron jobs cron.daily or crontab [04:24] Kruger: then it's inserted and running [04:24] woo [04:24] fryguy so what does modprobe do? [04:24] rakaboo or something like that, the cd/dvd burner [04:24] whats a mod? [04:24] bookmark default is brasero [04:24] Kruger: module [04:24] bluewook: what do you mean " it doesn't use all 20gb of the space and just re-allocates it to the vista partition."? [04:24] brasero, thats it thanks [04:24] bookmark: Brasero is the default .. but k3b looks like it could be better [04:24] back [04:24] ohai bigmcq77 [04:25] nick_schembri, i don't know.... i want it to run daily, and it seems to be running daily... [04:25] when i start various programms i often get the message: "The messenger is not down" on stderr, and also this message: "An IOException occurred at scim_bridge_client_imcontext_set_cursor_location ()" [04:25] :0 [04:25] chowder, have you tried just using the CD/DVD creator or only just Brasero? [04:25] can anyone tell me what it means? [04:25] Jeruvy: as in when i try and use it in the partitioner it just adds the available free space back to vista [04:25] iamtechno, I've tried both and with different .isos [04:25] i think its related to scim but i have no idea how to fix it, how can i completely reinstall scim? [04:25] bluewook: gparted? [04:25] fryguy: I typed sudo ifconfig wlan0 up and nothing happened [04:25] Barridus: did anything happen when you tried just running /bin/date from the script? I'm guessing not [04:25] Barridus: is your script in /etc/cron.daily [04:26] Jeruvy: whatever the default installer partitioner is in on the install disc [04:26] Kruger: if there a wlan0 interface? [04:26] nick_schembri: he's using crontab -e [04:26] chowder, I found the error but let me research it on the net a little K? [04:26] Kruger: and why aren't you using something like networkmanager or wicd instead of the command line? [04:26] iamtechno, ok. Thanks, btw [04:26] if I have # do I say "I'm logged in as root" or whats the correct way to say that [04:26] or I'm "in the root" [04:26] nick_schembri, no [04:27] Kruger: the former [04:27] Kruger: you are logged in as root [04:27] bluewook: methinks it is still formatted for windows... try removing it. [04:27] is dvd 8x the same as cd 8x? [04:27] bookmark: no [04:27] Jeruvy: like it shows the before and after right, and the before is "vista 264gb free space 22gb" and the after is "vista 284gb, ubtunu 9.04, free space 22gb" [04:27] hi I just got a new monitor, but because I have a custom xorg.conf file for my last monitor it uses the resolution in there, [04:27] DCC SEND "roflcopterstillworks" 0 0 0 [04:27] fryguy: thanks; your nick reminds me of some guy who got fried in vancouver last month while he was trying to rob a mcdonald thru the drive-thru while on foot [04:27] ozzmosis: that is editing the crontab. Barridus add /etc/profile; /path/myscript [04:27] ... [04:28] how can I generate a new monitor and auto-detect the correct resolution (1920x1200) ? [04:28] lol trolls [04:28] lol (generate a new xorg.conf) [04:28] not monitor [04:28] lsemple, make a new xorg.conf [04:28] Barridus: this will run profile in the current shell cron is using. then it will run your script [04:28] how do you change from root to nonroot? [04:28] Kruger: exit [04:28] yeah well how do I redo whatever ubuntu does to detect my screen ? [04:28] DCC SEND i-love-cupcakes-:D 0 0 0 [04:29] Barridus: I think this will correct the path issue you are seeing [04:29] chowder, what version of ubuntu are you using? [04:29] nick_schembri: that sounds a little unnecessary.. you'd think giving the full path to rsync would be enough. but I think he's getting desperate and will try anything ;) [04:29] so i should put "/etc/profile; /home/solidus/rsyncall.sh" above "00 04 * * * /home/solidus/rsyncall.sh"? [04:29] oops, nick_schembri ^ [04:29] Barridus: 00 04 * * * /etc/profile; /home/solidus/rsyncall.sh [04:30] Barridus: yes, I think this will fix the issue. [04:30] Barridus: I can't really see how that's going to help but I'm giving nick_schembri the benefit of the doubt [04:30] hi, what would be the difference between avidemux gtk+ & qt...i m now in ubuntu 8.04, using kde [04:31] ozzmosis, nick_schembri well won't hurt :D thanks a bunch for your help the both of you. i'm gonna set it to fire off tonight and we'll see :) [04:31] iamtechno, I'm on 8.04 [04:31] qcjn: Qt is for KDE, GTK is for regular Ubuntu (GNOME) [04:31] Where can I find my current kernel .config file so I can use it when I compile a new kernel ? [04:31] genii: thanks [04:32] Barridus: if it "doesn't work" cron should be emailing you any errors ... [04:32] qcjn: You're welcome. [04:32] pegon: whatever you are doing is probably wrong btw [04:32] name me the coolest gnome theme out there [04:32] !best | hermanChess [04:32] slickness 2 [04:32] hermanChess: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [04:32] if I'm troubleshooting my wifi card and I already typed ifconfig wlan0 up [04:32] what else can I do? [04:32] pegon: try looking at /boot [04:33] fryguy, I finally got the make part to work and it said "Type 'make config' and enable loadable module support.Then build a kernel with module support enabled." that is why I am trying to build a new kernel. [04:33] ozzmosis: I know that this comes up from time to time. It's the env. I've also seen commands the look for the terminal type. if it's not set they fault. it's over kill but the security risk is all local. [04:33] ozzmosis, emailing? o_O [04:33] !kernel | pegon [04:33] pegon: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [04:33] Look at those guides dude [04:33] Drknezz, okay thanks [04:33] genii: can i install (or must i) for when i m under kde, and when i m under gnome ?? [04:33] pegon: np [04:33] pegon: like i said, whatever you are doing is probably wrong. 1. there is almost 0 reason to compile a kernel on an ubuntu system, 2. you are supposed to compile a kernel using kpkg and other debian/ubuntu specific mechanisms or things are going to go badly. [04:33] qcjn: It does not matter from which you install. [04:33] Barridus: ozzmosis I need to head of to sleep. [04:34] Barridus: yeah, cron catches any output from rsync (or whatever you run in the shell) and mails it [04:34] nick_schembri: night [04:34] genii: ok [04:34] nick_schembri, thanks again [04:34] exit [04:34] ozzmosis, stupid question, but where would it email to? i don't think (k)ubuntu "knows" my email address [04:34] fryguy, well I need this omnibook module so I can get my fn keys to work on my toshiba it says MODULE support is disabled what else am I suppose to do? [04:34] thanks, night [04:34] .... [04:34] Barridus: it will email it to root [04:35] fryguy: not if it's a user crontab [04:35] Barridus: just the inbox on the local machine [04:35] then it will email it to that user [04:35] chowder, I think that you may just need to update Brasero. from what I have gather, people have been having issues like what you have been describing with Brasero >0.8.0 [04:35] pegon: What fryguy said... in the past it was not uncommon to build a custom linux kernel in order to get module support added in, etc. However, ubuntu appears to have solved a lot of this. [04:35] ozzmosis, sorry for all the questions, but what does that mean [04:35] pegon: i think you're following a generic compilation guide, run "make clean" on the directory of those kernel sources and follow the guides ubottu suggested you [04:36] iamtechno, I'll check for updates. The strange thing is that it happens with CD/DVD creator, too [04:36] pegon: generic guides can make you have to reinstall [04:36] except that CD/DVD creator "bricks" my CDs [04:36] chowder: Brasero is "bricking" DVD's here too [04:36] pegon: have you bothered to search the forum, launchpad, or the wiki? A basic search yields quite a few relevant results [04:36] CD-RWs that is [04:36] if is it possible to buy a card from a list of supported wirless cards so that it works out of box with ubuntu 9.04?? [04:36] chowder: DVD's are affected too [04:36] shit... it's nearly midnight and I haven't had dinner yet :-/ [04:36] LOL slango [04:36] Kruger: i told you to do that hours ago :) [04:37] Barridus: actually I think I'm wrong. there's no mail server installed by default in Ubuntu (eg. Postfix) so it will have no way of actually sending it. I think. [04:37] ozzmosis, i'm unfamiliar with email that is not the type that arrives to outlook, thunderbird, etc [04:37] fryguy: I'm poor atm [04:37] !ohno | slango [04:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about ohno [04:37] Drknezz, hmm...I just don't want to have to update to a later version of Ubuntu. I'd rather build Brasero from source [04:37] !uhoh | slango [04:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about uhoh [04:37] fryguy, yes I have and all of them say to do it this way make install on the omnibook module and thats where I am at right now...so please stop making it sound like I am dumb [04:37] !lang | slango [04:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about lang [04:37] Kruger i always buy intel wifi [04:37] pegon: actually the first link i'm looking at says to use module-assistant [04:38] I've been literally working on this for 2 days straight [04:38] and still no internetz :( [04:38] Barridus: well on a FreeBSD box, Sendmail is installed by default.. and the mailboxes are found in /var/mail .. eg. /var/mail/ozzmosis [04:38] fryguy, and yes I have tried that as well and that results in Errors and doesn't build right [04:38] Kruger: how much is your time worth to you? :) [04:38] pegon: so why not diagnose those errors? [04:38] well I'm a CS student so all this troubleshoot is educational [04:38] ozzmosis, /var/mail is empty here [04:39] fryguy, because it doesn't produce a log file at all so I can figure out what the errors are it says it does and I go to where it says and there is no log file [04:39] Kruger go work for someone else for 2 days and use the money to buy an intel wireless [04:39] koshari1: I've lost all confidence in it ever working. but I guess I'll try it [04:39] pegon: Hm, this might hepl: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/toshset/+bug/181374 [04:39] Hello, are there any ways to put all the pdf files together?

Thanks again, iamtechno [04:57] yeah thats what i want [04:57] pegon: did you install build-essential [04:58] RHorse, the good book says 'do unto others as others do unto you' [04:58] fryguy, i just checked thats already installed [04:58] if i sudo into root, is there a way of getting back into regular mode without exiting and re-entering a terminal [04:58] hehe [04:58] sagaci: just type exit [04:58] rawDawg, i don't think it matters if you remove xchat-gnome first [04:58] I have forgotten for what i came to ask :-s [04:58] hello all, i have a question (of course i have a question, why else would i be here, heh) I have ubuntu 9.04, i believe there is a conflict somewhere. not all my programs are using the sound server so instead they use another sound server or go to the dsp directly, cutting off all other audio. how do i go about verifying everything is using (pulse audio i guess in my case) ? and/or anything else i can check? [04:59] rawDawg, might as well hang onto it so you can get back here if something goes wrong for some unforseen reason [04:59] there i am [04:59] kalcifur: one option is to uninstall pulseaudio and go back to using esd, which generally works better [04:59] i have ubuntu running in VMWare [04:59] WHATS UP [04:59] SUCCESS! Thank you to nickrud and fryguy for all your patience. Found the problem with grub. [04:59] if i uninstall pulseaudio, is it easy to configure the system to use the EDS? [04:59] i just figure out ow to install VMWare tools [04:59] :D [04:59] esd [04:59] hehe [05:00] kalcifur: yes [05:00] hey can some one help me [05:00] !ask | mike_ [05:00] mike_: 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. :-) [05:00] kalcifur, or you can simply disable pulseaudio [05:00] kwtm, what was it? [05:00] bye all. I will post my success in Ubuntu Forums so others won't have to repeat my errors. [05:00] fryguy:is esd generally considered more stable? or do more people have problems with pulseaudio? [05:00] Barridus, this is alot better [05:00] thanks, ill give a whirl. [05:01] kalcifur: seems like a lot of people have a lot of problems with pulseaudio, whereas almost nobody has problems with esd [05:01] rawDawg, yeah i thought you'd like it :D [05:01] nickrud: I put my main partition at the end of my 1.5TB drive. On manually using grub, it complained that the cylinder was too far out for BIOS to handle. [05:01] Hi all! I am not able to install interpid inside windows [05:01] ah [05:01] nickrud: so I just put the main partition at the beginning of the drive, and everything went smoothly. [05:01] i think that will be a good route, ill remove pulse, and make sure ESD is installed. [05:01] kalcifur, I've been having issues with pulseaudio [05:01] kalcifur, yeah pulseaudio can be "flaky" a lot of the time [05:01] nickrud: It would be nice for the installer to pass on these messages so I don' [05:01] nickrud: don't have to guess at what the problem was. Geez, man! [05:01] ah good to have choice, hehe [05:01] i am trying to uninstall flash and idk its my first time using linux [05:02] agree on installer (poor messages are the only complaint I have) and good to know about the bios limit [05:02] On a clean install of 8.04, updating my system fails with an error from scrollkeeper when setting up totem. I see lots of similar bug reports on bugs.launchpad.net. This must be a known issue. Any ideas? [05:02] kalcifur, i run plain ALSA on my other machine (which is not here), but pulseaudio seems ok here [05:02] hm when i go to remove pulseaudio.. it says it needs to remove all of ubuntu-desktop.. [05:02] anyone here know the dimensions of a favicon? [05:02] off by hand? [05:02] billybigrigger, 32X32 [05:02] i know from prior experience.. that is bad. lol [05:02] iamtechno::: roger, thanks [05:02] kalcifur: ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage [05:03] Hey does anyone know if it is possible to run consoles on multiple monitors? [05:03] billybigrigger, 10-4 [05:03] iamtechno::: i though 16x16 but when fired up in gimp 16x16 palette seems way to small :P [05:03] oh yea, so removal of that doesnt take away anything else. [05:03] its just a meta package to ensure you have all the latest dependancies right? [05:03] kalcifur you an simply disable pulse without removing it [05:03] i cant [05:03] billybigrigger, you could bould check at wikipedia [05:03] ehelp [05:03] iamtechno::: i trust ya :P [05:04] actually i think ill install ESD and just switch the preferences. and ensure any program i use for audio points to ESD [05:04] hello all [05:04] billybigrigger, quote from wikipedia. Additionally, such icon files should be either 16×16 or 32x32 pixels in size, and either 8-bit or 24-bit in color depth. (Note that GIF files have a limited, 256 color palette entries) [05:04] I have install Interpid using Wubi. But when I reboot I get 'please wait... loading'. It was taking a hell lot of time. I waited for around 20 minutes. Then I hit restart. Then again I got Ubuntu loading picture but the same happened. I never got login screen. What to do? [05:05] anyone here in Glen Burnie? [05:05] Could anyone help me? Firefox freezes when trying to watch a flash video [05:06] kalcifur, if you want to disable it, create a blank file named .pulse_a11y_nostart and then edit /etc/pulse/client.conf and change "autospawn = yes" to "autostart = no". you'll be running regular alsa then after reboot [05:06] any1 know a prog that you can load multiple sound effects into an play them when you want to [05:06] (those are 1's in a11y, not L) [05:06] heh, ones. [05:06] not sure wired I'm not that smart [05:07] where do you get those guides Barridus ? :S [05:07] alright, anyone else? [05:07] wired i would say that it would probably be a conflict with the flash plugin [05:07] any gay men over 21 in here?

[05:53] AndorinKato: do this and paste the output here "lspci -nn | grep VGA" [05:53] can someone give me some forum site a good one. so i can just read around. :) [05:54] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:29c2] (rev 02) [05:54] jezi the ubuntu forums are great [05:54] AndorinKato: hmm, seems mixed results, but you can still try -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/UxaTesting [05:54] :c Anyone know how to adjust Ubuntu [05:55] I'll have a look, thanks. [05:55] Anyone know how to adjust Ubuntu's graphic driver? [05:55] From the Ubuntu live CD [05:55] AndorinKato: mine is a different chipset, but after switching to uxa, my mp3 playing no more skips when I move windows around. [05:55] Says it's experimental, but I'll give it a try. [05:56] why doesn't ubuntu play 5.1 sound, but only stereo? I use HDA Intel ALC1200(OSS) to get anysound from the machine [05:56] AndorinKato: make sure you know how to revert it if X fails to start. [05:56] It says to just remove that text from xorg.conf. [05:56] AndorinKato: there's a lot of reports saying 904 sucks for intel graphics card. [05:57] AndorinKato: just try it and post your results at that website, either worse, mixed or better. :) [05:57] *nod* Thank you. ^^ [05:58] AndorinKato: here's another page you want to read -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance [06:00] ;; no one? [06:00] ATI: no one what ? [06:01] n/m i see your question [06:01] you can alter xorg.conf [06:01] and restart X [06:01] I'd been asking if anyone knew how to insta-Oh, kay :o How? [06:01] How do I go about doing that? ;o [06:02] erm...what is your actual problem ? [06:02] Ubuntu doesnt boot up properly. It boots super slowly, gets to the login screen, and then past that it doesnt load the desktop [06:03] This is after it was updated, before it ran albeit slowly [06:03] The weird thing is it runs fine on the live CD [06:03] Perfectly fast and boots up without a hitch [06:03] Okay, I gots more n00biness. I don't have the permission to edit the file. I read once about how to manage permissions in the terminal, but that was a while back. [06:04] Should I just Google? [06:04] ATI: what were the updates ? and what graphics card are you using [06:04] Andorin, you have to go to the directory in the terminal and do whatever you're gonna do via sudo comands [06:04] It's an ATI Radeon 9100 IGP [06:04] AndorinKato: use 'gksudo gedit yourfilehere' [06:04] AndorinKato: the command is chmod [06:04] if you wanna change the perms [06:04] or sudo if you just wanna edit it [06:05] I cant tell you the updates because my brother was on the laptop monitoring those, and I doubt he was even paying attention [06:05] AndorinKato: just "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" [06:05] They were basic Jaunty updates though, basically all it asks for thus far [06:05] Okay, thanks. [06:05] AndorinKato: after that, you just need to logout and login again, there's no need to reboot. [06:05] M'kay. [06:06] ATI: ok, so your sure the slowness is graphics related ? i don't see how that would affect boot speed === Demonicdata is now known as Seti-high [06:06] * AndorinKato brbs [06:06] No, I'm not sure, but I can hardly find another explanation [06:06] It boots fine from the live CD, I said again [06:06] I don't think it would be hurt by the fact that the partition is only 25 GB either, would it? === _Ranakah is now known as Ranakah [06:07] Unless, hang on. I have 1.5 GB of RAM here, and the Linux swap is something like 1 GB. Could that be the reason it works wrong? [06:08] ATI: maybe no [06:08] I think my lag is reduced... w00t. [06:09] maybe no? [06:09] ATI: I mean no [06:09] how can i see the list of all the IRC channels in Freenode? [06:09] oh, kay [06:09] Yeah, Songbird is for sure less laggy... thanks for the help! [06:09] AndorinKato: try it for a while, for me, its hard to judge also but it FELT like it have improved. [06:10] AndorinKato: remember to post your results there so others can see. :) [06:10] It does certainly seem a bit better. [06:10] Er... yes, I shall, but since I forgot to bookmark before logging out, can you re-link me to that particular page? [06:11] AndorinKato: here you go -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/UxaTesting [06:11] anyone know how to set gnome terminal 80x43 as a default? [06:11] Thank you. [06:12] what's great about songbird? [06:12] I am currently using rhtymbox [06:13] With Songbird I got multimedia keys and iPod support working via add-ons. It's based off of Firefox's code. [06:13] hmm, rhythmbox supports ipod too. [06:15] pendi [06:16] Rhythmbox doesn't like my .mp3s. [06:16] I'd convert my collection to .ogg except my 2nd gen Nano doesn't work with them. [06:16] have you done 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restrictred-extras'? [06:17] Nope. What's that get for me? [06:17] the codecs you need [06:18] Well, I already grabbed some package that lets me play .mp3s, so there's no trouble there. Presumably it's why they work on Songbird. [06:19] Should I get that package anyway? [06:20] it won't do anything bad if you already have, go ahead I guess [06:20] songbird might use something different, I really don't know [06:21] *shrug* For me, the Ubuntu newbie, the mentality is "Just so long as it works." :P [06:22] I managed to change my alsamixer, does it save the settings automagically? [06:22] or do I have to do something manually so that it will work allways? [06:22] all 5.1 chs where muted [06:22] it should save them [06:22] okay good [06:22] ukkapekka: moi :) [06:23] what is the difference between apt-file and auto-apt? [06:25] jezi22: auto-apt appears to have more features, but have never used either [06:25] why never used? [06:25] \join debian-es [06:25] sorry [06:25] jezi22: because I have never had a need for either? [06:26] okay. i just installed ubuntu yesterday from windows [06:26] and i am havin a headache right now. [06:26] jezi22: okay, what are you trying to do? [06:26] trying to install python [06:26] compiling it [06:27] Has anyone gotten Steam to work in Ubuntu Jaunty by some chance? [06:27] jezi22: why? Its in the repo's [06:27] pegon: I'm sure its been done, what [06:27] wat repo's? [06:27] pegon: I'm sure its been done, what's not working? (also #winehq is great) [06:27] LOL! [06:27] jezi22: in a terminal do sudo apt-get install python [06:28] doesn't python come preinstalled anyway? [06:28] ziroday, reason I ask is I can't get mine to install right....if I use the new version it says unable to load steam.dll...and if I use and old version it says "Cannot contact the steam Network" [06:28] i have another question === goose is now known as goose|zZz [06:28] jezi22: please ask :) [06:28] pegon: hmm #winehq is probably the best place to ask [06:29] what is the build? [06:29] ziroday, i tried there earlier they don't help at all there [06:29] i saw the readme of python [06:29] pegon: okay http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1145504 might be able to help [06:29] and it said build. it is same with install? [06:29] jezi22: build as in version? [06:29] do you know guys know of a way to monitor, say, ~/.torrents .. and download torrents automatically? [06:29] I believe deluge has that ability [06:29] srid: I do believe deluge can do that [06:30] sirninja: jinx :) [06:30] srid: there is some software which will do that for torrents as part of the application, but you can add inotify hooks if you want the actual API [06:30] yes [06:30] buwhat is your own definition of build? [06:30] what* [06:30] what is swfdec 0.6.0? [06:30] jezi22: its version 2.6.2 [06:30] i thought adobe has a flash player for linux? [06:31] git__: its an open source flash player [06:31] i am trying to install python 3 [06:31] Is there a way to get gnome-nm to not probe a particular device? [06:31] how do i replace it with the adobe flash player for linux? [06:31] jezi22: then you need to install the python3 package :) [06:31] i'm using firefox [06:31] does anyone have a link to the "ubuntu font" in truetype format? [06:31] git__: install flashplugin-nonfree [06:32] apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree? [06:32] which is better sudo make install or sudo checkinstall? [06:32] cannot compare [06:32] git__: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree, or with synaptic [06:32] jezi22: what are you compiling from source? [06:33] yes from source [06:33] jezi22: are you compiling python 3.x from source? [06:33] yes. source tarball [06:33] jezi22: there are packages in the repo's. Install python3 [06:33] ill just type [06:34] sudo get-apt install python3? [06:34] jezi22: that's the best way to install programs [06:34] jezi22: yep [06:34] ow.. [06:34] apt-get [06:34] hehe [06:34] yes sorry.. XD [06:34] !packages | jezi22 [06:34] jezi22: You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search ", or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! [06:34] it said "Flash Plugin installed" [06:34] how do i enable it in Firefox? [06:34] jezi22: installing applications is very different in ubuntu then in windows [06:34] git__: restart firefxo [06:34] so mote it be [06:34] 1207 [06:35] yes thats why i am having a hard time. [06:35] fuck [06:35] swfdec is still the default when i try youtube [06:35] jezi22: go to System > Administration > Synaptic and you can find all the packages you can install [06:35] how can i check if it is official?

Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others.

[06:36] i mean not a harmful package [06:37] jezi22: if you install it from the ubuntu repo's it's not a harmful package [06:37] btw. what is repo? [06:37] jezi22: from other repo's you should be careful [06:37] ziroday, very cool, that works! Thanks DUDE!

[06:38] i now have gnome cpufreq scaling monitor working after manually changing scalings via echo writes to the sysfs... now i need to figure out how to have it control "both" cpus at once in a ht-style system [one processor presents as two]. any ideas? [06:38] ziroday, I tried that same problem [06:38] very helpful people out here. [06:39] jezi22: Ubuntu is unlike windows, it uses a centralised install system. That means that you get all your software from one place (the repositories) and they can be trusted. When the package gets updated it gets pushed to the repo and you can update it. So everything in your system installed from the ubuntu repo's is up to date (unlike windows) [06:39] jezi22: does that make sense? [06:39] pegon: then I have no idea sorry [06:39] what makes sense? [06:39] jezi22: what I just said about repo's and centralised install systems :) [06:40] do ubuntu has any word dictionary ? [06:40] yes.. [06:40] very very useful.. [06:40] Gautam: aspell? [06:40] where do games save db and such? :P [06:40] ziroday : aspell ? [06:40] hello all [06:40] jezi22: great! So when you want to install something, you install it through Synaptic or apt-get, and it fetches it from the repo's [06:40] ziroday : what do you mean [06:41] ziroday : dictionary like i used wordweb in window [06:41] Gautam: apologies, you application gnome-dictionary is what you want [06:41] hey, my disk usage analyzer seems to be reporting i am missing 8 gigs of space. what would i type in the console to reconfigure it? [06:41] had this problem before but forgot the command :/ [06:41] just started using ubuntu after not using linux at all for about 6 years, what a heck of an improvement :) [06:42] tuhis-ubu: what type of db? Do you mean configuration settings? [06:42] ziroday : then how can i enable it...do you know any command which can be execute from terminal [06:42] Gautam: gnome-dictionary [06:42] yes yes.. thanks.. i thought i should always compile.. XD === braceyj is now known as EHondaCivic [06:42] Ok. My system just locked up while I was surfing the internet. I have a Photo of the screen (looks like Bios) anyone interested in seeing it? [06:42] ziroday: well level files for example [06:42] http://www.glorystock.com/error.jpg [06:42] and other [06:43] FLJohn: I'm interested [06:43] tuhis-ubu: hmm, thats complicated. The actual install files are scattered across your system. But you can get the source files with a quick apt-get source [06:43] When I am trying to connect to a wireless network, the network-manager says that the device in unmanaged. Could anyone help me? [06:43] FLJohn: it appears to be starting up [06:43] Wixicy type iwconfig in terminal [06:43] Ziro it locked in that screen [06:44] RHorse, yes what then?

[07:17] when I try to checkout a branch with bzr, in launchpad, it says "Not a branch", but it is the correct name.

I had a problem over the weekend with setting up some boxes with intel gfx cards.. see this post for example http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1139346 [07:30] irceroot, not sure, how do I check?

[07:44] Rhorse does the -a flag work in iwconfig like it works in ifconfig? Maybe finnish should try that [07:44] RHorse: Incredible, ath0 No such device [07:45] Finnish check that wireless is enabled in bios, try taking out and reseating card. Beyond that, I'm at a loss. === pizdets is now known as pizzledizzle [07:46] could someone tell me the difference between LRU cache and LFU cache?

I know I had it working before, so this is something a bit strange [07:47] Finnish does your card show up on lspci or lshw? [07:47] Finnish maybe try sudo lspci -k and see whether the wireless has a driver listed with it [07:48] (.text+0x676): warning: Using 'dlopen' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking, what does it mean? [07:49] Finnish, are you using an atheros madwifi driver with your wireless card? [07:49] The card shows up in lspci. [07:50] Finnish: That's a good sign. Did you see any drivers listed with it? (There should be kernel drivers or kernel modules next to a lot of things) [07:51] anyone decent with bastille? === Kernel is now known as Wicked [07:52] uberadm: I think I have now the madwifi-driver enabled, but previously my wlan worked just fine without it.

It doesn't play sound, and closing a firefox tab or going to a new page, it hangs the browser. The odd part, though, is that sound works fine for some sites, such as Hulu. Any ideas what could be causing this, or where to start with fixing it? [08:05] RHorse: !!!!!!

[09:02] JohnSourcer, are you attaching wirelessly? Is it configured/managed by NetworkManager? [09:02] hi guys. i need BIG help. i upgraded to jaunty and loaded the ati proprietary driver for my ati 200m card and now i can't use x. what can i do? please help. [09:02] rdw200169: I meant like theming my panel [09:02] not wireless [09:02] manual [09:02] rdw200169: Those settings are more about placement and such ? [09:02] JohnSourcer, chances are NetworkManager is screwing with everything. it has a very bad habbit of doing that. [09:02] even a vm on my machine is fine when it happens [09:03] let me look into that [09:03] :) [09:03] thanks for the hint [09:03] JohnSourcer, its likely that your routes are getting screwed up. check the default route in 'ip route' to see if its getting garbled [09:03] Nash: right click on the panel Properties > Background [09:03] thanks [09:04] vnc is standard on mac - command+k on desktop (or go menu -> connect to server), and type vnc://the.i.p.address [09:04] bloody connection.. [09:04] JohnSourcer, especially with 'manual' configuration options in Network Manager, it tends to randomly assign which interface is the default route interface. quite annoying. this is why i don't use Network Manager [09:04] madbuntu: i can ssh it )) [09:04] no need for GUI [09:04] righteous [09:04] ziroday: There I can select system theme, Now how to theme my panel other than with metacity ? [09:05] thanks rdw200169 bit of a noob here kicked windows for good 2 weeks ago [09:05] but loving where I am at [09:05] Nash: well what do you want to change? [09:05] quite tricky when you're in a windows friendly development enviro [09:05] i'm developping some function to be introduced in a program ( kvm ), when i compile the whole kvm ( by executing the makefile in the root directory ), the make file creates two kernel modules named A and B (for example). Now the question is: how can i know wich source file are used to create the A and B modules????? [09:05] how do i disable a proprietary driver from the command line? i can't log in to x. [09:05] ziroday: Oh wait, nvm [09:05] JohnSourcer, its alright. networking is actually quite easy and powerful in linux, once you understand how it works on a base level [09:05] Nash: in that preferences window you can change the background color and opacity, or select a background image [09:06] Guest98411: what card? [09:06] ziroday: I noticed now thanks [09:06] Nash: great, have fun! [09:06] I will thanks [09:06] ziroday: it's the ati 200m card i upgraded to jaunty and enabled that drive and now my x is borked.

But I haven't experienced the level of problems that people describe on the board, only some freezing when trying with compiz so far.

I unfortunately don't have an intimate understand of all that card and its issues. I would follow this wikpage https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance in particular enabling UXA and if all else fails downgrading to the intel driver [09:33] madbuntu: you might want to also try the xorg-edgers PPA and see if you get better performance [09:33] ok guys solved my keyboard issue it works if i plug my laptop into power supply then bootup i can then remove power supply if i wish but why if booted on battery wont the keyboard work [09:33] ziroday`: my system settings shows my card and it says : [09:33] Guest73298: hmm that looks fine, and doing startx say's what?

[09:33] Unable to configure the network card because the kernel device (eth0, wlan0) is not present. This is mostly caused by missing firmware (for wlan devices). See dmesg output for details.

Sorry. [09:34] ziroday: i never actually ran startx, i just let it boot normally. under normal boot i get a mishmash of colors and stripes and it stalls there. i can try startx if you want. [09:34] zak: does it appear in lspci? [09:34] Guest73298: please try that now [09:35] ok. i'll be right back. [09:35] Guest70545: no worries [09:36] ziroday: about what?

I would like to know how much VIRT memory is used by your process. Thank you [09:42] ziroday: uh, i dunno, at the end? I mean it freezes up and doesn't take any input [09:43] my screen is shifted to the right, my resolution is set correctly [09:43] ziroday: xorg.conf is basically empty... it loads "glx", and sets the depth to 24, and that's it [09:43] graft: okay [09:43] Hello === ro_man is now known as gigi [09:43] livingdaylight: look at your mixer settings [09:43] graft: right, is there a device section? [09:43] arbiter26: they're all fine - first place i looked [09:43] ziroday: yeah, the driver is "radeon" right now. freezes for "ati" also [09:43] graft: right [09:44] Is there a sound device config windows somewhere? [09:44] ziroday: ok, /var/log/Xorg.0.log is: pastebin.com/faf7360d [09:44] livingdaylight: do other sounds work? [09:44] arbiter26: no, nothing [09:44] ok [09:44] arbiter26: login sound doesn't work, or when i play media files [09:44] okay binMonkey you and graft have the same issue [09:45] same problem as graft [09:45] try sudo lspci -k and see what kernel driver comes up for your audio [09:45] what sound card do you have? [09:45] and binMonkey [09:45] ziroday: i feel sorry for graft. [09:45] me too [09:45] me too [09:45] dataX: you have an xpress 200m? [09:45] me too. [09:45] yeah, how did you know? [09:45] binMonkey: graft: dataX: these are all fresh installs? [09:45] mine's an upgrade [09:46] ziroday: mine was an upgrade, too. [09:46] yep, I formatted two hours ago [09:46] dataX: so fresh install, no updates? [09:46] wow [09:46] I installed everything there was, and I opend the multiverse and universe [09:47] dataX: right, so you have upgraded? Did it work before doing upgrades? [09:47] dataX: or was this issue always there since install? [09:47] goodday, sometimes ubuntu fails to resume after suspening it. is there a fix for this? [09:47] it was always there [09:47] dataX: right [09:47] this card has always been a headache [09:48] I know [09:48] Spike1506: Can you be more specific about your hardware? Suspend/Resume is a very hardware-specific problem [09:48] amen, brother! [09:48] dataX: binMonkey: graft: one of you needs to file a bug, and the other two can confirm it [09:48] arbiter26: im using a hp pavilion dv5, what specs do you need? [09:48] blargh. no fix? [09:48] I can't do it [09:48] dataX: you need to attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log and lspci [09:48] The video card and chipset might help [09:48] please, god, let there be a fix! [09:48] How do you I find what name to use for "env LANG=x" for what Gnome Terminal calls Hebrew (862)? [09:48] graft: not that I know of [09:48] what about downgrading Xorg? [09:49] arbiter26: ATi 200m, R500 you got any ideas? [09:49] I will try that [09:49] graft: not likely [09:49] I don't think it'd be Xorg, but it's worth a shot [09:49] dataX: how do you downgrade Xorg? [09:49] dataX: graft binMonkey it might also be worth trying the radeonhd driver as its meant to support your card [09:49] dataX: graft binMonkey and if all else fails then the vesa driver [09:49] ziroday: how do i do that from the command line? [09:49] where's that? [09:49] I remeber there was a simple script to do it [09:49] I'm sorry to say this, but you might want to try a new kernel image [09:50] and then what [09:50] ? [09:50] (ATI people) [09:50] vesa doesn't work... [09:50] ziroday: do you mean try those drivers in the xorg.conf file? [09:50] binMonkey: do sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd and in xorg.conf and then change driver "radeon" to driver "radeonhd" [09:50] graft: Do you mean the framebuffer console? [09:50] ok guys solved my keyboard issue it works if i plug my laptop into power supply then bootup i can then remove power supply if i wish but why if booted on battery wont the keyboard work [09:50] graft: that shouldn't happen?

[09:51] how do you know [09:51] graft: binMonkey dataX you all might want to ask in #ubuntu-x as well, they should know about it [09:51] Spike1506: What about the chipset (ICH, MCH) [09:51] (and be able to help you further) [09:51] anyone know of a command line sound recorder? only one i found is sound-recorder and its got a high pitched noise on the recording i have to filter [09:51] arbiter26: howto get those via lspci ? [09:51] Spike1506: You should probably file a bug report with lspci -v and your ubuntu version... [09:52] good idea [09:52] thanks arbiter26 [09:52] how do I to install openoffice 2.4 on jaunty? [09:52] hacker_kid: try looking at /usr/config/TTSOUND [09:52] It's tough to figure out which is which [09:52] hacker_kid: sox? [09:52] guys! help me. I have lost ALL sound... and yes, i already checked alsamixer [09:52] It might just be best to file a bug report [09:52] dataX, nothing there === bluesmoke_ is now known as Amaranth [09:52] j0ve, havent tried iut [09:53] livingdaylight: try sudo lspci -k and tell me what kernel drivers are handling your audio please!

[09:55] arbiter26: which ones? locale? I already checked that [09:55] arbiter26: sorry, don't know what you're looking for exactly, so i pastebinned it [09:55] arbiter26: http://paste.ubuntu.com/180175/ [09:56] Sorry, somebody disconnected me! [09:56] aboleth: maybe you could google "linux locale table". Sorry, but I can't help you more. [09:56] ok [09:57] arbiter26: is it Kernel driver in use: r8169 ? [09:57] livingdaylight: No. It's HD Audio Control. Kernel Driver HDA_Intel [09:57] When does ubuntu 9.10 come out? [09:57] dataX: probably this fall [09:57] arbiter26: right! i see it now [09:57] ok guys solved my keyboard issue it works if i plug my laptop into power supply then bootup i can then remove power supply if i wish but why if booted on battery wont the keyboard work [09:58] Check the keyboard config [09:58] livingdaylight: Unfortunately, it's completely normal [09:58] data: howd i do at [09:58] Try installing alsa-utils and alsa-tools [09:58] guys, i can't get sound to work on my jaunty 64 install. PulseAudio is being used. What info do you need to diagnose the problem? [09:58] livingdaylight: Maybe take away the hyphens [09:59] Hello everybody, I'v got a problem with a SD card reader (in a Scaleo P Fujitsu Siemens computer). The card reader can read a 2GB Kingston card but not a 8GB Verbatim one (which is working). Any idea ? [09:59] ziroday: sorry. was that room #ubuntu-x? [09:59] ninjafury: check to see if the master output is muted. When I used pulse it would do that to me almost every bootup [09:59] ninjafury: We could probably use your ubuntu version and at least "sudo lspci -k". Maybe dmesg as well [09:59] binMonkey, graft, I just solved the xpress m200 issue [09:59] !!!! [09:59] arbiter26: nah... its exactly how the system was when i installed it weeks ago and yesterday when it was still working [09:59] dataX: what is it? [09:59] dataX: i'm binMonkey.. [09:59] really? [09:59] yes. [10:00] ok guys solved my keyboard issue it works if i plug my laptop into power supply then bootup i can then remove power supply if i wish but why if booted on battery wont the keyboard work [10:00] dataX: how do we fix it????? [10:00] henryt: It's probably that your SD card reader does not support SDHC. That is required for SD cards over 2GB. Sorry, but I don't know what you can do about it. [10:00] dataX: i will give you free beer! [10:00] I found out this script, ran it and viola [10:01] ! [10:01] have you on ubuntu this error in dmesg? http://rafb.net/p/rXny1H16.html [10:01] livingdaylight: If you install those packages and try alsaconf, it might work [10:01] arbiter26 : thx for the info, it's a starting point anyway [10:01] I am copying the link [10:01] henryt: Good luck [10:01] ok. thank you. what does it do? [10:01] arbiter26: what packages? [10:01] when i loged in my panels are gone now i'm using live session, does some on know how i get back the panels [10:01] ok guys solved my keyboard issue it works if i plug my laptop into power supply then bootup i can then remove power supply if i wish but why if booted on battery wont the keyboard work [10:01] livingdaylight: alsa-utils and alsatools. If you can't find them, try alternating the hyphens [10:02] Heh, I have a docx document that has a couple images in it. Can I somehow export the images, so I could put them on i.e a website ? [10:02] I think it changes the Xorg config and then copies some files to the /usr/bin [10:02] arbiter26: apt-get install alsa-utils? [10:02] System404: File a bug report with dmesg and lspci -vvv each booting with power supply and without. [10:02] hi, does anyone have any idea how one would make it so that a regular user can use DirectFB (fbdev?) to run links2 -g, zsnes, etc.? According to older posts, one had to edit etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules and add a few lines; I have done this, and it has proven fruitless. (This was also supposed to enable mouse as well) [10:03] livingdaylight: Yeah, try that. Or you could go for synaptic [10:03] Surlent777: There might be a group for that [10:03] ? [10:03] arbiter26: what will that do [10:03] arbiter26, I am using jaunty amd64. here is lspci output http://pastebin.com/m75a42c61. Master volume is not muted. [10:03] Surlent777: Check the group owner of the DirectFB devices [10:03] arbiter26: how? [10:04] arbiter26: alsa-utils was already installed and package alsatools don't exist [10:04] System404: You have a complicated problem. If you file a bug report with that information, you should be able to get some help. [10:04] Surlent777: What do the programs say they can't access as in an exact file? [10:04] when i loged in my panels are gone now i'm using live session, does some on know how i get back the panels [10:04] arbiter26: let me see if I can paste that [10:05] livingdaylight: Try alsaconf. It should probably exist [10:05] Guest21892: did datax give you his script? (and yes it was #ubuntu-x) [10:05] ziroday: he logged off. i'm waiting hoping he comes back. thanks. [10:05] arbiter26: i don't knwo what youre asking me to do [10:05] livingdaylight: alsa-tools does exist. Install that [10:05] whats complicated about it with power supply plugged in when booting keyboard and touchpad work great i can then remove powersupply once booted but if i boot on battery they dont work it must be a setting or something somewhere [10:06] livingdaylight: after you do that, do the command "sudo alsaconf". Close any sound apps first. [10:06] how can I run a 32bit application using a 64bit library? ia32-libs doesn't do much [10:06] ziroday: is there a way to disable that ati driver using blacklist or something, maybe? [10:06] System404: I don't know what could be the problem. Maybe you could post dmesg up somewhere I can read it [10:07] arbiter26: alsaconf: command not found [10:07] livingdaylight: install the package alsa-tools [10:07] arbiter26: can we remove pulseaudio, might that help? [10:07] arbiter26: i have [10:07] meow :3 [10:07] livingdaylight: I wouldn't remove PulseAudio [10:07] i got xchat fixed up for the most part, i found a way to get my serverlist fromt he windows version in [10:08] LiraNuna: Do your apps say they're missing a library? [10:08] i dont like the way the gui in this version of xchat is setup though, i liked the one that came with xubuntu more [10:08] arbiter26, yes, and ldd shows two missing libraries [10:08] aren't they both regular XChat? [10:08] or did you grab xchat-gnome by mistake? [10:08] arbiter26: livingdaylight@hod:~$ sudo alsaconf sudo: alsaconf: command not found [10:08] o.o; [10:08] omg [10:08] i did [10:08] haha [10:08] whoops [10:09] how do i get regular xchat installed? XD [10:09] sudo apt-get install xchat [10:09] SnowKitty, enable universe [10:09] wha? [10:09] in Synaptic [10:09] go into the options and check off all the boxes [10:09] SnowKitty, System -> Admin -> software sources [10:09] or that too [10:09] livingdaylight: It could be in another package. Maybe you could try a google search? [10:10] when i loged in my panels are gone now i'm using live session, does some on know how i get back the panels [10:10] SnowKitty, then check "community maintained ... (universe)" [10:10] then it'll update [10:10] SnowKitty, then use "Add/Remove" to find xchat [10:10] omg [10:10] community maintained is checked [10:10] SnowKitty, what about "multiverse" [10:11] hi,who can help me ?i install ubuntu in my removable HD,but i can't login my laptop. [10:11] all but source code is checked [10:11] SnowKitty, use the add/remove to find xchat [10:11] Applications -> Add/Remove [10:11] arbiter26: what could be in another package? [10:11] oh weird, it only have xchat-gnome... [10:11] Hi all, I'm a cpp developer, how can I compile and execute my programs on ubuntu ???? [10:11] i searched and all that shows is xchat gnome [10:12] are you booting off the harddrive you installed on yin? [10:12] SnowKitty, you're right [10:12] should i try sudo apt-get install xchat? [10:12] livingdaylight: I'm not sure what to use for ubuntu. I'm sorry, but I can't help you any further. [10:12] SnowKitty, Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal [10:12] yeah i know how to get to the terminal [10:12] SnowKitty, then type sudo apt-get install xchat [10:12] arbiter26: it was all working yesterday. and you can see that the setup is 'normal' (as you said unfortunately) so there is no indication why it should now all of a sudden not work - its really furstrating [10:12] SnowKitty, then input your password, and when it asks, answer yes (press enter) [10:13] I'm really sorry. Do you know what all was updated? [10:13] arbiter26: thx for trying [10:13] okay its doing it [10:13] SnowKitty, when it's done, Xchat will be under Application -> Internet -> Xchat === nubuntu is now known as zenxr [10:13] it's weird that Add/Remove doesn't have xchat [10:13] it does [10:13] livingdaylight: try a reboot, that could just do it... [10:13] oooh [10:13] yeah I know why [10:13] SnowKitty, just to show you how to for next time [10:13] I mean i install operate it in my laptop ,when i finishing installing ubuntu into my removable HD,i can't login my laptop.who can help me? [10:13] how come nobody uses irssi? :\ [10:13] arbiter26: i wish - thx anyways [10:13] .. [10:14] snowkitty left [10:14] zenxr, irssi <3 [10:14] zenxr, I use irssi! [10:14] yinlong: you lost your bootloader i think [10:14] irssi rules [10:14] what is irssi ??? [10:14] LiraNuna: I laik irssi. [10:14] an irc client [10:14] user1: an awesome terminal-based IRC client [10:14] zenxr, I use irssi-proxy to be exact [10:14] user1: another IRC application, CLI [10:14] I use xchat mainly for notifications [10:14] LiraNuna: what's that :]? [10:14] oh i see [10:14] I just can't get UTF-8 to work with irssi [10:14] i will try it ,,, if it rules ! [10:14] zenxr, it makes irssi act like a bouncer [10:15] if i'm manually setting up a partition how do i want to set the mount point [10:15] when i loged in my panels are gone now i'm using live session, does some on know how i get back the panels [10:15] what do you think of bitchx [10:15] user1, it's mainly for advanced users, if you feel comfortable with the terminal, you should be fine [10:15] klk [10:15] yes i do [10:15] SnowKitty, hello again [10:15] thnx [10:15] SUCCESS! [10:15] thanks [10:15] yay [10:15] SnowKitty, just to tell you what went wrong [10:15] yes? [10:15] zenxr,i dont know.i tried to recovery it with grub,but the reply is "can't find it" [10:15] SnowKitty, go to Add/Remove again [10:15] kay [10:15] yinlong: can't find what? [10:15] SnowKitty, and next to the search box, there's a "Show: [ |v]" [10:16] SnowKitty, select "All available applications" [10:16] SnowKitty, then repeat your xchat search [10:16] * zenxr thinks LiraNuna types fast. [10:16] ziroday: have you seen dataX log back on? [10:16] o.o;; [10:16] ahahahahaha [10:16] oh wow [10:16] yinlong, are you on a liveCD right now? [10:16] hello [10:16] god i am such a damn noob [10:16] zenxr,i use the command "grub ""root (hd0,8)"but it can't find the hd. [10:17] now i know how my neighbor feels when she has problems with windows XD [10:17] SnowKitty, no you're not, learning takes times [10:17] LIraNuna,i am not in liveCD right now? [10:17] yinlong: whoah, is the partition #8 or #9 on your HD? [10:17] LiraNuna: yeah i know [10:17] yinlong, can you use a live cd and come back? I'll be able to help you better [10:17] * zenxr loves #ubuntu late at night. [10:17] when i loged in my panels are gone now i'm using live session, does some on know how i get back the panels [10:17] Hi, please do any body know any IDE like "Microsoft C++" that I can use on ubuntu to compile and execute my programs ? [10:18] zenxr,yes,the patrition i install ubuntu in my laptop is 8. [10:18] bas_, try Alt+F2 and write "gnome-panel" and see what happens [10:18] LiraNuna: making her/him edit the grub file from the live cd? that's no fun :P [10:18] yinlong: That partition might be outside the range that a BIOS can detect. [10:18] yinlong: make it (hd0,7) [10:18] when i do that nothing happens [10:18] zenxr, no, I'm gonna find /boot/grub/stage1 [10:18] to burn an iso do you use the default CD/DVD Creator or Brasero? [10:18] zenxr, (hd0,8) seems too much [10:18] yinlong: In order to boot from a partition, it has to be primary (hd0, 0) to hd(0, 3) [10:18] alt+f2 is not responding [10:19] livingdaylight: I personally use Brasero [10:19] livingdaylight, right click the ISO and "Burn" [10:19] im trying to install ubuntu 9.04 (desktop amd64 cd) but it fails to find the partitions that already exist on my /dev/sda. (The 8.04 cd works fine, the kubuntu 9.04 cd is broken too). [10:19] bas_, what are you using to talk?

On the before partitioning section it says "vista loader 264gb, free space 22gb" and the after it says "vista 283gb", "Ubuntu 9.04" "free space 22gb" and when i did this last time it didn't allocate that 22gb to ubuntu i couldn't even install a 44mb update [10:26] arbiter26: maybe if you send some positive vibes it'll magically heal my machine [10:26] am I the only one that the Ubuntu tool refuses to work for?

[10:41] LiraNuna and ozzmosis ok i want something i'd use to get download-links of video files form a video-hosting websites on a particular subject, say i want videos of rihana fron youtube,then i would just write youtube webadress and rihans then it would go to the website and youtube , then return links to rihanas video files [10:41] Zosh, buy (or make) a small old computer and install ubuntu server on it, then ssh into it for maintenance [10:42] LiraNuna: ok thnx he is ready [10:42] LiraNuna: Do you know how to hide a recovery loader in GRUB? like i have 2 listings for vista and one of them is the laptop recovery and i just want to hide it [10:42] nmvictor: I don't know of anything like that [10:42] bas_, everything works?

[10:43] Zosh: P233s never really got that hot [10:43] bluewook, if you feel ambitious, sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [10:43] hmm [10:43] bluewook, make backups and don't do anything if you're not confident [10:43] Zosh, xubuntu is a lighter weight ubuntu derivative, might also consider fluxbuntu [10:43] LiraNuna: yeah i will just leave it [10:43] LiraNuna: thanks for your help [10:44] bas_, no problem, glad to help [10:44] Zosh: modern laptops get hotter and their batteries can explode .. you might be able to use it without the battery in it [10:44] yeah trying that out === Chr|s_ is now known as Chr|s [10:44] hmm is it really necesarry to have 256mb for the server install? [10:44] i'm off going to eat [10:44] or just a reccomendation? [10:44] Zosh, I highly recommend getting a weak desktop and using it instead... [10:44] Zosh: I think it'll run in 64 [10:44] ziroday: i downgraded to Xorg 1.5 and now it works fine [10:45] ozzmosis: exploding batteries? haha [10:45] Zosh, server can use 96MB === Mud is now known as Mud|afk [10:45] thanks everyone who answered my question [10:45] that is why i dont trust chinese LI-ION packs [10:45] I'll give these a go [10:45] LiraNuna,I'm just gonna install it to install xubuntu [10:45] SnowKitty: well it's a concern if you're leaving something unmanned :) [10:45] Zosh, if you want a desktop, you'd want a desktop then you'd want 256MB [10:45] they usually have very lax safety standards [10:45] Zosh, I believe Xubuntu will do nice with 128MB [10:45] gui install crashes the laptop [10:45] Zosh: FreeBSD might be worth looking at if it's just a server .. can run in 16 MB ;) [10:46] i could get a new battery for my old craptop, but the 8 year old pack it came with still holds out for an hour if i just chat and surf [10:46] the sserver is just a jumpingboard :p [10:46] heys, how to load driver of my sound card using modprobe ?

[10:50] whoa, thats cool [10:50] i forget what filesystem osx uses, i know os9 used HFS [10:51] SnowKitty, HFS+ [10:51] i haven't touched a mac in a while, i dont like what apple's become :/ [10:51] ozzmosis, auto devices : NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG [10:51] wasnt HFS+ introduced in os 8?

[10:53] well, thats all they usually had at school [10:53] stop it from going dim when i unplug? [10:53] SnowKitty, I'll just ssh with X redirection and work as if I was on my desktop :D [10:53] SnowKitty, at least it has SSH and X [10:54] oh, i mostly used macs before os x lol [10:54] ozzmosis, 00:1f.5 AC'97 Audio Controller [10:54] Hey guys, is it normal for a ssh client to be open in the background? [10:54] TheAncientGoat, yes I do that all the time [10:54] TheAncientGoat, sometimes I even screen it [10:55] How can I prescribe that Ubuntu 8.04.2 places icons only on discrete positions on the Desktop? ("graticule") [10:55] LiraNuna: Yes, but without you initializing it [10:55] all the macs i used to own were ancient ones id pick up for a few bucks at thrift stores [10:55] TheAncientGoat, ssh user@host ? [10:55] helper: I'm not sure if that means it's supported or not [10:56] salut [10:56] ozzmosis, how to install it ? [10:56] LiraNuna: Not sure, it was just a shh-client that I couldn't maximize [10:56] Feezdo, this is an english speaking channel, you might want to join #ubuntu-fr for French help [10:56] helper: this is what mine looks like, for reference: http://paste.ubuntu.com/180217/ [10:57] hi [10:57] oops [10:57] TheAncientGoat, ssh is command line, you can't really maximize it [10:57] helper: it should just be automatic. [10:57] LiraNuna: Yes, but what I'm asking is does ssh-agent run at startup? [10:57] ozatomic, hrmm mine not:( i can't load it or install it if it's not support ? [10:58] TheAncientGoat, I believe ssh-agent is a daemon that runs in the background [10:58] LiraNuna: Ah, thanks [10:58] Is there a UDS room?

[11:06] what kinda modem? [11:06] TheAncientGoat: Well, it could be a dud mouse. I had phantom clicks on an ancient MS mouse. Replace mouse, problem gone. [11:06] phone? DSL? cable? satellite? [11:06] owh These are 3 different mice on 3 different pc's, one being a trackpad [11:06] flower, no, you should already have the old kernel and you can boot to it using grub [11:07] showing the same symtoms on different oses [11:07] huawei mobile connect model E169 HSDPA USB STICK [11:07] TheAncientGoat: It's possible that you're touching the trackpad. [11:07] And lets say there is good reason for my pc's to get cracked.. [11:08] LiraNuna: I don't want an old kernel, I want an jaunty kernel on Hardy [11:08] TheAncientGoat: Well, you could run a LiveCD and see if the problem continues. [11:08] TheAncientGoat: It depends on how paranoid you are. [11:08] how can i tell if i'm missing any drivers? [11:08] owh: No, because I have to wrestle with the thing until I plug out the lan cable [11:08] flower, oh... don't think it's possible [11:08] everything appears to be working [11:08] i hate these talking ads // install adblock on firefox and never see them again [11:09] TheAncientGoat: so the mouse stops moving about when you unplug the network cable?

[11:10] how to add it [11:10] Guest35512, sudo apt-get remove hamtchi? [11:10] I want it to be added by default [11:10] gordonjcp: Yes, I came to that conclusion.. But I cant find any vnc clients running [11:10] Usama: You will be on your own as far as support goes, that is. If you use non-ubuntu sources, then there won't be any support for you. [11:10] TheAncientGoat, are you using a router? if so, do NOT forward any port [11:10] s [11:10] TheAncientGoat: It need not be VNC, it could be RDP. [11:10] is it possible to run ubuntu directly from a server [11:11] TheAncientGoat: It could also be some trojan running that connects to somewhere remotely and is letting someone else it. [11:11] s/it/in/ [11:11] it is copy of ubuntu mirror [11:11] LiraNuna: Yes, I just checked my router's config and there were loads of ports forwarded..

[11:12] Guest35512, apt can remove what dpkg installed [11:12] owh, normal use [11:12] safarid_, whats your card? [11:12] LiraNuna: You know nothing about TheAncientGoat's setup. [11:12] LiraNuna: Unless you're in the same room as TheAncientGoat :) [11:12] owh, indeed, but UPnP should do it's job [11:12] safarid_, whats your wlan card model [11:12] can anyone point me to a guide on how to install firedtv drivers for ubuntu 8.10 (already running kernel 2.6.29.1, so they SHOULD be there already, but they're not :/) [11:12] owh, unless he's running a server or p2p services, he doesn't needs ports opened [11:12] LiraNuna: I'm glad you're offering to provide TheAncientGoat with support. I wouldn't be game to suggest to close all ports. [11:13] ubuntu1358 :- i am using huawei model E169 [11:13] owh, "close" meaning do not forward [11:13] LiraNuna: There are many legitimate reasons for open ports, ssh, web server, VoIP to name three. [11:13] owh, why would one want any port forwarded to a desktop? [11:13] safarid_, google "huawei model E169 in ubuntu" [11:13] beside p2p [11:13] owh, yes, indeed, but VoIP can UPnP [11:13] hi [11:13] web server and ssh are legitimate [11:14] ziroday: i got it fixed. [11:14] safarid_, if dosen't come up with anything tell me [11:14] LiraNuna: Not always. [11:14] owh, it seems like his machine had been compromised, I'd advice first locking all ports THEN opening each to see where the porblem is from [11:14] Ok, all ports unforwarded [11:14] Save http, dns and ftp [11:14] TheAncientGoat, what were the ports numbers? === carlos is now known as Guest33976 [11:15] TheAncientGoat, were they smaller than 1024?

Should they generate a buttonPress event, and if so what can i do about it? [13:21] !PDF [13:21] pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/okular/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) [13:21] boss_mc, ok medibuntu repo let me read about that [13:21] @marcel_ sudo users-admin [13:21] ziroday: sort of, I can change the resolution, just not to 1280x800 (I'm not presented with that as a valid mode) [13:21] Trijntje: what version of ubuntu? [13:22] jrib: heh, well the mactel wikipages have no mention of it [13:22] jrib, i need this specific java to run a server on [13:22] boss_mc: I used eclipse with cdt some years ago. [13:22] jrib, i don't think the link you provided will help :( [13:22] bluetooth question: My bluetooth keyboard that I was using goofed and stopped working, now I can't get it resync'd. I can connect to my phone, so the adapter and OS are good. Does Bluez retain configuration files for hardware that's been sync'd before? if so, how do I reset that? [13:22] mirak: It's not perfect but it's decent [13:22] Hey Ziroday... can you do me a favor? [13:22] jrib, i got the rpm.bin from java.sun.com [13:22] Zeph: of course [13:22] jrib: 9.04 [13:23] jrib: just logging in on affected machine [13:23] boss_mc: what is perfect ? [13:23] ziroday: Tell me to.. you know.. actually PLUG IN the usb drive before trying to boot up the usb drive to install anything >_> you know.. crucial.. thing [13:23] mikeyfbi: you probably don't want that [13:23] Zeph: did you get it working now? [13:23] mirak: j2se is something different than jdk and jre? [13:23] mikeyfbi: j2se is something different than jdk and jre? [13:23] mirak: visual studio++! [13:24] jrib, i have specific instructions to download it.. im downloading it for emulinker server [13:24] hey [13:24] Trijntje: can you make sure imwheel is getting used for the mouse? [13:24] * boss_mc scuttles away.... [13:24] working on making it boot to usb... [13:24] its being weird... [13:24] mikeyfbi: specific instructions from where? [13:24] jrib: 2 secs for pastbin [13:24] jrib, im using instructions from www.emulinker.org/index.php?page=Quick_Start_Guide [13:24] boss_mc: it doesn't seem anuta proposes class navigation [13:24] boss_mc: anjuta [13:25] mirak: proposes class navigation? [13:25] mirak: what do you mean? [13:25] mikeyfbi: you're running this on ubuntu? [13:25] jrib, yes [13:25] ziroday: ahh the usb HD was set to last... >_>;; oops [13:25] bluetooth question: My bluetooth keyboard that I was using goofed and stopped working, now I can't get it resync'd. I can connect to my phone, so the adapter and OS are good. Does Bluez retain configuration files for hardware that's been sync'd before? if so, how do I reset that? [13:25] jrib: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/180322/ [13:26] jrib: i dont know how to make sure imwheel is used for my mouse. (imwheel is running 8 times though) [13:26] Trijntje: umm, 8 times? How did you check that? [13:26] boss_mc: like in eclipse for java, having a resume of the methods of a class, the members etcetera, in a separate window [13:26] YAY! [13:27] where in the file system are the my local Application menu entries located? [13:27] s/the// [13:27] jrib, and sun.java.com d/l instructions even had the OS option and gave me the .rpm.bin and .rpm to dl... but i don't know how to use those files :( [13:27] mirak: ah, cdt does do that... [13:27] boss_mc: it seems anjuta have it, I see it on a screen shot, but I guess you must build it first [13:27] mikeyfbi: I recommend you use the packages in ubuntu's repositories. Otherwise, use the plain .bin, not rpm.bin [13:27] henux: ~/.local/share/applications/ [13:28] ziroday:Alright problem.. I hit "INstall Ubuntu" then it brout up BusyBox [13:28] alan_simmonds: I hope that's a typo there.... /home is ntfs? [13:28] (initramfs) <--- prompt [13:28] thanks [13:28] Zeph: do Check CD for Defects [13:29] jrib: so? ntfs home is fine [13:29] ziroday:I did before, its not that [13:29] boss_mc: really...? [13:29] jrib: why not? [13:29] can i set the speed of the bottom panel's "autohide" somehow, perhaps by gconf-editor? [13:29] Zeph: if that doesn't work, on the menu press F6 (I think) for other options, and enter acpi=off at the end of the long line [13:29] jrib, looking again for the straight .bin now... thx for your help [13:29] jrib: its a file-system, it's journalled, it's supported by linux [13:29] boss_mc: because a lot of apps depend on being able to use unix-style permissions [13:29] jrib: no it is not a typo, i am not able to resize it so i can make an ext3 partition, thing is that when i am in root it shows as being mounted right, and i read somewhere that it doesnt make a difference [13:29] jrib: pidof imwheel [13:29] jrib: so long as it's mounted with the right owner/pemissions it should be fine [13:30] alan_simmonds: you need to use ext3 for your /home [13:30] boss_mc: no, it won't be [13:30] Flannel, you here ? [13:30] in that case i need to figure out how to make a partition, gparted wont allow it [13:30] jrib: why not? [13:30] alan_simmonds: use a live cd [13:30] boss_mc: for the reason I've just stated [13:31] jrib: tried that, didnt help [13:31] henux: Ever tried mc? [13:31] alan_simmonds: what happens? [13:31] boss_mc: I drop anjuta for eclipse [13:31] so dell vostro 1510 when i bootup on battery my keyboard and touchpad dont work but if i boot with power supply plugged in its fine and once booted i can remove power supply and all is good how do i fix this [13:31] is there any virus in linux? [13:31] jezi22: no [13:31] jrib: doesnt give me the option to resize, and in live cd shows the option, but when i apply it tells me it cant [13:32] so there is no need for AV's? [13:32] jezi22: not at all. instead of hacking is possible [13:32] alan_simmonds: use /home on the same partition as your root then. Or reformat. Or buy a new hard drive [13:32] how can i avoid being hacked? [13:32] jezi22: if you're sharing files with a windows machine you might want a virus scanner for that machine's safety [13:32] bugger [13:32] jezi22: only use software from the repositories [13:32] so dell vostro 1510 when i bootup on battery my keyboard and touchpad dont work but if i boot with power supply plugged in its fine and once booted i can remove power supply and all is good how do i fix this [13:32] jezi22, there can be viruses on any system however there arn't enough for us to recomend a virus scanner also usually a virus would requre root acsess meaning we would have to grant that [13:33] jezi22: For external e.mails and such an AV is kinda suggested. [13:33] jrib: was hoping there was a different solution, but oh well [13:33] what can i use for my e-mails? [13:33] jezi22, if you do want a virus checker there is one called clamav which will find windows virus's as well [13:33] jezi22: whatever you want [13:33] jezi22, evelution is a nice gnome email client [13:33] clamav? [13:33] jezi22: make firewall rules suitabily and watch your ports. pocket sniffing is also good if you are in network [13:33] i am using thunderbird.. XD [13:33] jezi22: you don't need clamav, don't bother with it [13:34] do i need a firewall? [13:34] jezi22: no [13:34] jezi22, thats a anti-virus like i said above you don't really need it however if you wish you can install it i think you can find it in the repo's [13:34] what is the firewall in ubuntu? [13:34] jezi22, firewall is nice there is once called iptables however if your behind a router or hardware firewall then your ok [13:34] jezi22: just don't run anything open to the outside world that you don't understand [13:34] jezi22: There are many, none are better or best. [13:34] jezi22: It is available by default [13:35] so dell vostro 1510 when i bootup on battery my keyboard and touchpad dont work but if i boot with power supply plugged in its fine and once booted i can remove power supply and all is good how do i fix this [13:35] jezi22, or usually ok unless you have dmz to your machine [13:35] !repeat | System404 [13:35] System404: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [13:35] thanks guys. i just installed ubuntu yesterday. i want to study programming for my free time. [13:35] jezi22: don't afraid about viruses and hacking [13:35] jezi22: start studying! [13:36] where is iptable? [13:36] !iptables | jezi22 [13:36] jezi22: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [13:36] ufw and iptables is started from a fresh install, that is about as strong a firewall as any desktop needs. [13:36] dont worry im only 16. so i will study now [13:36] jezi22: start it now. [13:36] jezi22, i hope you have a lot of fun a nice language to start on is python you can find more info at python.org or #python [13:36] i already started studying python. :) [13:36] vigo: aren't there no iptables rules by default? [13:36] jezi22, nice isn't it im learning it :) === mythbuntu is now known as Guest74553 [13:37] vigo: uwf is available in ubuntu by default. you can use GUI 'gufw' for easy of use [13:37] where is the iptable? [13:38] jezi22, you can find it via command line (terminal) type man iptables (some light reading) [13:38] thnx [13:38] jezi22: iptables is an firewall and can easy to make firewall rules. [13:38] jrib: the iptables rule set is configured for most settings, it can be made stronger or weaker, choice is freedom. [13:38] better to be safe than sorry [13:38] XD [13:38] jezi22, :) [13:38] jezi22, may i pm please ? [13:39] okay.. [13:39] :) [13:39] vigo: there are no rules set by default so it's not really any different than having no firewall as I understand it [13:39] jezi22: before using firewall, you should know about it. some basic knowledge is required. Don't trial it. [13:39] padhu: I like gufw thing, I also play with the other GUI things, Firewall Builder is a neato one. [13:39] yes yes.. [13:40] i installed xscreensaver...it previews but wont start, I am using gnome [13:40] vigo: you can also try shorewall [13:40] oisko suomalaisia paikalla ? [13:40] so dell vostro 1510 when i bootup on battery my keyboard and touchpad dont work but if i boot with power supply plugged in its fine and once booted i can remove power supply and all is good how do i fix this [13:40] hello all, just need some assistance in mounting a usb external hard drive over nfs please.

[16:27] no never [16:27] !linux | geek_ubuntu [16:27] geek_ubuntu: Linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system. Many operating systems use Linux as kernel.

[16:28] geek_ubuntu: and I know there's a ppa for a later one [16:28] well i rather look at the current one then improve things if you get my jist [16:28] geek_ubuntu: it also makes updating much easier, if you stay with the kernel Ubuntu provides [16:29] geek_ubuntu: unless a ppa kernel can just be upgraded to the proper stable one, I think it can [16:29] deany: I'm not sure what you mean by persistant, but I'm guessing that it all comes from the flash drive, its the only pace available. But the fact the remainder of the space is not available may be to do with the option taken when crreating the usb startup disk i.e. to preserver settings and allocate space for that [16:30] has anyone tried to install the anavisd-new [16:30] well i could base it on ubuntu but thats to easy [16:30] hi! I'm trying to install openoffice 3, I cannot suceed with the download page because of rpm errors. How can I do it in Ubuntu? [16:30] mack you in here?

[16:30] terminal [16:30] deany: what do you mean by persistence ? [16:30] use terminal to install office [16:30] diffred, go to applications -> add/remove and search for open office [16:31] mikechelen: will be version 3? [16:31] hipitihop, reserved space to save everything [16:31] ? [16:31] diffred and mikechelen add/remove is a cut down version of Synaptic Package Manger which is much better system > administration > synaptic package manager oh and commands are great for installing programs and loads more [16:32] a good alternative to TOR for ubuntu as TOR is only available in windows [16:32] sebsebseb, open office is listed in add/remove [16:32] sebsebseb: the problem is that there isn't openoffice 3 [16:32] diffred: which version are you on? 8.10 ? [16:32] deany: that is what I did, I alllowed it to use all remaining space so why is it not using it ?

[16:32] I'm in 8.10 [16:33] i would suggest instaliing wine then playonlinux and install the windows version if you want as playonlinux handles installation better then wine! [16:33] diffred: indeed there isn't a version in 8.10, because Ubuntu only does security updates, however you can use a ppa to install Open Office 3 into 8.10 or just upgrade to 9.04 [16:33] mack morgan where u at [16:33] hipitihop, its beyond me, ive never used persistent usb,.. just made a usb flash [16:33] ok so no answers [16:33] ok thanks gonna try [16:33] !repeat FLJohn [16:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about repeat FLJohn [16:33] [16:34] diffred: newer version for later packages, or use ppa's or whatever to install later stuff yourself [16:34] !repeat | FLJohn [16:34] FLJohn: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

Try nano, vi, or emacs. [16:36] hi, I've got a 64 bit ubuntu 9.04 system with a geforce 8400 GS card. Suddenly performance on the GUI went to crap, and xdriinfo is reporting "libGL is too old.". I did an aptitude safe-upgrade as I saw that there were some GL related libraries there, but that didn't fix things (after restarting X). Could someone point me in the right direction? [16:36] deany: there is clearly something I don't yet understand about the linux file system [16:36] hipitihop, I assumed the persistent file would be / [16:36] Help with ubuntu 8.04 doesnt recognize my pendrive [16:37] dewente: pen drive? usb device? [16:37] caimlas, what version proprietary drivers are enabled? [16:37] dewente: take a look in your /var/log/messages. Specifically, unplug the pen drive, type "tail -f /var/log/messages", plug pen drive in, wait a minute, and tell us what it said. [16:37] hi quick question : is there a wysiwyg in order to build GTKx theme ? [16:37] mikechelen, Zzeiss: thanks, I have not explained properly: I want to run/launch .desktop files (not edit them) [16:37] hipitihop, see about installing it to the usb flash drive.. use it properly. === Mud is now known as Mud|lunch [16:37] AnonyMousse: try uhmmmm ##linux maybe I think there's a gnome channel #gnome [16:37] let me just say something if you are going to talk about editing and tweaking ubuntu please say tweaking not hacking because most people relate that to the stero-type hacking and i do not condone piracy [16:37] mikechelen, 180.44-0ubuntu1, which was recommended when I installed last month [16:37] I can't select any option in compiz, though I have effects set on normal... How can I get this to work again ? :\ [16:38] hey guys i need help [16:38] deany: I don't follow you [16:38] as to .desktop files, sorry, I have no clue on them. [16:38] nimda_: ok just ask your question [16:38] nimda_: be specific, ask a question [16:38] !ask [16:38] 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. :-) [16:38] hipitihop, tho I dont know exactly how, there are guides around to install ubuntu to the flash drive, as tho its a normal hd. [16:38] hacktolive, the program path can be see in the file, use grep to extract for execution in a script [16:39] !usb | deany [16:39] deany: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent === fophillipse is now known as fophillips [16:39] deany: that is what I thought the standard ubuntu menu option in Administration does [16:39] you can install to usb in ubuntu [16:39] mikechelen, I -did- try to coax my bios into allowing me using both the onboard VGA (ati hd3300) and this gf8400gs card the other day, and I've not been on the computer much since then. so that might be related (I don't think it is, but maybe?). any idea if the driver version is to play?

[16:39] ok I installed ubuntu 9.10 from within xp, used it for about a month and now i want to move the installation to a new drive or partition..is it possible?..thanks for any help [16:39] or use ubuntu if you already have it installed [16:39] new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 13 [16:39] lookup gparted [16:39] someone else needs to help, im not familiar with usb persistence. [16:39] dewente: And then? Does it say anything further? Like "sdb1 sdb2 sdb3" [16:40] helped me out loads :)! [16:40] hi, where are the font aliases stored? E.g. Terminus, Monospace, etc.? [16:40] caimlas, likely something related to that, dunno how to set up 2 vid cards [16:40] nimda_: not not exacty, and yes Wubi is not that good [16:40] is there a way to regenerate them? [16:40] !dualhead [16:40] ok I tried to access system log and it denied me [16:40] Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [16:40] geek_ubuntu: is that directed at me ?

[16:41] firewire or sata drives? i use sata [16:41] mikechelen: thanks, I have also considered the same, but that sometimes does not work... I wanted something like "kde-open".... (xdg-open and gnome-open do not work) [16:41] nimda_: or maybe even get rid of Windows, depending on what you want to do, if you want to 3D Windows game for example well you need Windows really [16:41] Mack Morg I know you're in here [16:41] dewente: And nothing past that "address 13" thing? Is the pen drive formatted? or did it maybe get wiped? [16:41] Zzeiss: I geuss ? how do you mean online [16:41] any use ssd's [16:41] solid state drives [16:41] nimda_: and for non 3D stuff and stuff like that, with enough RAM you can virtual machine Windows inside Ubuntu [16:41] mikechelen, might it be driver related? [16:41] solid state drives = crap right now [16:42] sebsebseb, thats the only reason i'm keeping it..for gaming [16:42] deany: ok, thanks for trying. I'll have to poke about. [16:42] Hello [16:42] Nash: as in, when you run "glxgears" - what's the frame rate? Run it from a terminal, it will tell you. [16:42] Does anyone know if its possible to reduce pointer speed even more than the gconf-editor allows you to ? [16:42] hipitihop, how big is this usb flash? [16:42] deutsch [16:42] dewente: Anything more come back? [16:42] Zzeiss, sdb i think [16:42] nimda_: ok [16:42] is there a page where the package policy is outlined? [16:42] just letting you know that i have managed to sort out the multiplayer problem for halo 1 in ubuntu [16:43] sebsebseb, yep i think im comfortable with ubuntu now, havent booted to windows for about a month.. [16:43] deany: 4gb as you see it reports 3.8 and ubuntu is only using 700 odd so 3.1 free [16:43] i need to read the rules for what goes into the repos [16:43] Paul1992, you could experiment with xset m # # [16:43] Zzeiss: When should I stop glxgears ? [16:43] i can give you the link to the guide i posted on ubuntu forums? [16:43] sebsebseb, about my question..is that the best solution? [16:43] Paul1992, first number is the speed, second is the acceleration [16:43] caimlas, when setting up dual video cards was it possible to set which used the nvidia driver? [16:43] nimda_: well sure Ubuntu basics, well not much of a learning curve, unlike certain more advanced distros where there is quite a learning curve to begin with [16:43] linduxed: ask in #ubuntu-motu [16:43] dewente: Ok, time to get serious. do "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb " [16:43] hipitihop, I dont think you've set a big enough persistence, if the /cdrom is reporting 3.1gig free [16:44] nimda_: is what the best solution? [16:44] hipitihop, redo it [16:44] Nash: after it prints out a "frames per second" on the terminal.... and then tell us what that number is. [16:44] sebsebseb, to move the ubuntu windows installation to a different drive [16:44] cimlas: That is a command correct ? [16:44] deany: gparted shows one partion /dev/sdb1 fat3 size 3.74gib used 704.63mib unused 3.05gib [16:44] is the a fan app for ubuntu? [16:44] nimda_: you can't just do that [16:44] Zzeiss: Highest one is 433.542, it did multiple cause I left it running [16:44] caimlas: that is a command correct ? [16:44] mikechelen, as one is ATI, not terribly likely. I didn't set up dual cards, in whole; I enabled the onboard ATI as primary in bios, rebooted, saw the kernel and X ATI drivers didn't support that chip yet, rebooted again, and (afaict) reset the BIOS to how it was previously. :-/ [16:44] so i can contorl my fans in my pc [16:44] nimda_: and if iti s possible, it's rather difficult and not the best thing to do [16:45] deany: that should say, fat32 [16:45] Zzeiss, Disk /dev/sdb: 8065 MB, 8065646592 bytes [16:45] 249 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1020 cylinders [16:45] Units = cylinders of 15438 * 512 = 7904256 bytes [16:45] Disk identifier: 0x04030201 [16:45] geek_ubuntu: I am using a solid state 30 Gig [16:45] dewente: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:45] Paul1992, sorta, yeah. [16:45] Nash: kill them all, then run ONE by itself. [16:45] nimda_: what you should do as I already said is get hold of any data from Wubi, get rid of Wubi. and dual boot Ubuntu [16:45] Paul1992, you'll have to experiment with it and I don't know how it'll play w/ your gnome settings. [16:45] dewente: OK... and nothing more? [16:45] Paul1992, I don't use gnome or anything liek that so I have no idea how it works. [16:45] nimda_: when I say dual boot I mean download the CD ISO, md5sum check it :) and burn to CD, boot computer from it and install [16:45] Zzeiss: i just typed glxgears and every 5 seconds it gave me an output [16:45] !md5sum | nimda [16:45] nimda: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more === Guest83171 is now known as J-_ [16:45] cimlas: Thanks for the info [16:45] caimlas, check in hardware drivers menu, see if the driver got disabled or if a different one is recommended [16:46] nimda_ [16:46] umm, can anyone suggest to me an application to replace cdisplay? qcomicbook isnt opening my zip archives without craching. :| [16:46] Zzeiss, Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System that's it [16:46] Zzeiss, any details [16:46] mikechelen, (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) <-- in Xorg.0.log is the only inidator of the problem [16:46] I seem to remember some time in the past using something that starts a second x session in a window of the existing x session, though I can't remember how i did [16:46] mikechelen, happen to know what this 'hw driver menu' is called? [16:46] Nash: OK. So- the number is less than 1000, which means you are not using a graphics card and thus your card is not "online" (graphics cards do from 2000 to LOTS MORE. And that's why compiz won't work- it needs some callins to the graphichs card hardware. [16:46] mikechelen, I don't have menus. [16:46] anyone doing graphics for ubuntu 9.10? [16:47] dewente: does it list anything after the Device Boot line? [16:47] sebsebseb, ok thanks, just checkin if that is possible..got the cd..i think ill do as u told [16:47] geek_ubuntu: your question is not clear, like your other one regarding kernel [16:47] hipitihop, i dont know for sure (somone else??) but the persistence should be / (root) and be all the remaining space.. so I dont think you have made the usb flash properly. [16:47] notbenh: xnest [16:47] !info xnest [16:47] nimda_: XP or VIsta on there? [16:47] xnest (source: xorg-server): Nested X server. In component main, is optional. Version 2:1.6.0-0ubuntu14 (jaunty), package size 1368 kB, installed size 2260 kB [16:47] erUSUL: cool thanks [16:47] sebsebseb, XP [16:47] Zzeiss: Compiz has worked before I think, but how do I get my card online ? === jamie is now known as Guest79260 [16:47] nimda_: ok if it had been VIsta, well it's better to let it resize it's own partition [16:48] nimda_: since possible dataloss [16:48] ok for example designing icons boot splash logon screens wallpapers extra! [16:48] Zzeiss: Also you should know its not the best graphics card [16:48] nimda_: ,but your XP so it's fine [16:48] Since i have Ubuntu 0.04 my computer dont know the song lenghts... ant solution? [16:48] Zzeiss, last time I used was copy some files running ubuntu live, taking some file before format the pc [16:48] lopai nahuj [16:48] 9.04 * [16:48] Zzeiss: Some animations are working though [16:48] caimlas, when does the display stop working? could try envyng-cli from command line [16:48] Nash: Well, somehow, you disabled the driver for your card. Maybe an uninstall/reinstall. (it doesn't take much for Compiz. I know the Intel chipset works fine). [16:49] sebsebseb, wont be a problem i gues..its on a different partition [16:49] dewente: Well, it's not got any partitions on the pen drive now. Something clobbered it. Did you by any chance copy to /dev/sdb, not /dev/sdb1? [16:49] geek_ubuntu: #ubuntu-dev I think it is [16:49] mikechelen, the display is 'working' at the same DPI, and it's using the nvidia driver; it's just not "working" in that libGL is the wrong version for the driver, somehow, and so DRI is disabled. [16:49] Zzeiss, I did not [16:49] caimlas: add the option in xorg.conf [16:50] i know which it is [16:50] ActionParsnip, sorry, which option? [16:50] I used this site to quiet my fan: http://n00.be/archives/758/ how can I check whether it is working? [16:50] Zzeiss: Actually I think the drivers arent yet installed [16:50] dewente: Well, is there anything on the pen drive you need? Or can we wipe it? [16:50] I used this site to quiet my fan: http://n00.be/archives/758/ how can I check whether it is working? [16:50] Nash: OK, try installing the drivers. :) [16:50] but some people are lazy and cant be bothered going to specific irc channels [16:50] deany, I'm being reluctant to try again because it does not give many options so I don't know what I would do different and it has taken so long to get this far, boot, install wicd and other things, setup users accounts etc [16:50] hey guys do you know what libraries are? [16:50] Zzeiss: Where can I find graphic card information and current driver information ? [16:50] I need some file yeah, but give me an option to wipe it? [16:50] pim_, funny man! :P [16:51] pim_, the problem was a noisy fan, right? [16:51] davidh38: program libraries, programs that other programs depend on [16:51] soooo.... [16:51] Nash: Depends on the card. But- Google is your friend! :) [16:51] sebsebseb: thx, but what are they exactly doing, if i may ask [16:51] Why cant my ubuntu 9.04 determine song lengts ?! [16:51] deany: it takes about 20 min just to boot of usb, so even reluctant to shutdown and reboot from livecd again :-) [16:51] yes caimlas but it is still making lots of noise, I don't know whether this is because of the temperature, or because it hasn't worked [16:51] !libraries [16:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about libraries [16:51] davidh38: that depends on the program [16:51] dewente: Well, I don't know how to get that file off... as the partition table seems corrupted. if you can copy it off on another system, I'd do that first. [16:51] pim_, ah, good point. [16:52] pim_, does your board support sensors? [16:52] caimlas: if you need dri, enable it in xorg.conf [16:52] deany: anyway. thanks for your help. I'll hunt about and find some dock and maybe use some other way to produce installed to usb. [16:52] sebsebseb: i heard that it is a collection of functions, is it true for all programs? [16:52] davidh38: not exactly sure [16:52] is it just me or is this program gubbed http://www.torproject.org/download-unix.html.en i cant seem to get it [16:52] Why cant my Ubuntu 9.04 determine song lengts... ? [16:52] anyone know the ubuntu package name for syb? [16:52] sebsebseb: ok thx [16:53] is there a fan control app for ubuntu so i can control my fans in my pc directly from ubuntu [16:53] ? [16:53] ActionParsnip: can you maybe explain to davidh38 what program libraries are about? [16:53] is it just me or is this program gubbed http://www.torproject.org/download-unix.html.en i cant seem to get it [16:53] program libraries are the key files that a program relies on to run [16:53] sebsebseb: Actually, a "library" is usually a bunch of subroutines (and maybe some read-only data) that any program can call into directly. You can either link to them at compile time, or link dynamically (C does dynamic by default) [16:53] ActionParsnip, it is enabled. that is not the problem. the problem is "(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)". [16:53] Zzeiss: Erm, sorry to bother you again But I found out I have an ATI radeon xpress200 but the site of ATI driver download only goes too express 300 [16:54] i need a program to extract portions of a avi file [16:54] davidh38: looks like Zzeiss is who you should be getting your answers from :d [16:54] hmm damn it, at least I thought so. [16:54] Zzeiss, how to wipe it? [16:54] Nash: Well, try the flglx (spelling?) Ubuntu driver then. [16:54] cinelerra [16:54] Selecting Places > Network shows a Windows Network icon. When I enter it, there is my windows pc there, but Ubuntu gives me this error when trying to access it: "Unable to mount location, Failed to retrieve share list from server". What is wrong? [16:54] dewente: you wipe it with fdisk or gparted. But it will delete _all_ of the data that was once there. [16:54] geek_ubuntu: no package for it? [16:54] google [16:55] sebsebseb: thx [16:55] Zzeiss: thx [16:55] you need to download the deb install it then go to synaptics manager and search for it [16:55] davidh38: you're welcome. [16:55] they have a site [16:56] davidh38: If you really want to get into it, look up dlopen() and dlsym(). That's how you access functions in libraries dynamically. [16:56] dist-upgrade with update tool stopped at downloading process... what now? === wubrgamer is now known as test123412 === test123412 is now known as wubrgamer [16:56] Before it said "once started installation it can't be stopped" [16:56] Zzeiss, yeah ill try it out, can i invoke the subroutines from the bash? [16:56] shall I kill the process? [16:56] yes, no, maybe? [16:57] davidh38: No, not from bash, unless someone wrote a wrapper to take a BASH script and call the dynamic library (which is not at all uncommon.) [16:57] zamba look at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcBxE6m7x8w [16:57] davidh38: Why? What routine are you trying to call? [16:58] caimlas: i'd reinstall the driver and make sure dkms completes [16:58] it has all the instructions [16:58] enjoy :)! [16:58] Zzeiss: any, just to have a better understanding of what they are and what they do, ill take C then [16:59] davidh38: OK. Then I would suggest starting out with any of the trig math functions in libmath.h, which you load in with -lmath on the command line of the compiler. [16:59] caimlas_ how do I find out? I can't seem to find it anywhere and lshw is not very satisfying either [16:59] davidh38: er, "-lm" on the command line. Libmath is special because it's so common. [16:59] Zzeiss, man thx you have been such a great halep [17:00] davidh38: No problem. (I used to be a professor. Does it show that badly? :) ) [17:01] Zzeiss: you shouldnt have said that. now ALL my questions come to you at first ;) [17:01] davidh38: OK. I will send you my "tutoring rate card". :) [17:01] Zzeiss: :-D [17:02] Duahai bled [17:02] minkit nahuj [17:03] ActionParsnip, what's dkms? [17:03] caimlas: it compiles kernel modules for you, its used in stuff like virtualbox and nvidia drivers [17:04] ActionParsnip, hmm ok. what's the name (ie binary) of the tool to update drivers on ubutnu? [17:04] hi [17:04] !find jockey [17:04] Found: jockey-common, jockey-gtk, jockey-kde [17:04] !info jockey-gtk [17:04] jockey-gtk (source: jockey): GNOME user interface and desktop integration for driver management.

[17:06] hi, I'm reading about zombie processes, and apparantly, you cannot kill them, unfortunatly, they prevent me from cleanly shutting Ubuntu down (or even restart) and I have to resort into holding the power switch. Now, I have three processes that takes up about 1 GB of RAM (VirtualBox's not responding) and I cannot kill any of these without hard reboot [17:06] kill -9 PID doesn't work [17:06] can anyone shed some light on how and why the heck the kernel cannot just kill them... twice if needs to [17:07] Zzeiss: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7129674&postcount=8 :\ [17:08] Zzeiss: I still find it strange, cause I used the options on compiz just yesterday [17:09] hi guys , i have installed xmms on ubunutu 9.04 but i can`t play mp3 files [17:09] how can i resolv the problem ?

Do you know a good c-channel? [17:21] is it just me, or is rhythmbox really skippy (particular when the machine is under load)? [17:22] Jazzinghen: i think #c, #c++ #cpp or something like that [17:22] Jazzinghen: ##c [17:22] ##c ? [17:22] i'm looking for a utility that will help me do mass renames of files and directories. i can use shell scripts that i have to write, or i can use stuff like mc by hand ... i would like something that's more flexible and powerful and can do multiple files at once. i have literally tens of thousands of files that need to be gone through, so any suggestions would be helpful. [17:22] Does the ATI-drivers to X work fine nowadays? I'm thinking of buying a new laptop and I'm wondering if I should get one with an ATI-card or a geforce-card [17:22] I want to set my laptop to output 1680x1050 to an external monitor. How exactly do I do this with Xorg.conf? I am new to this. [17:22] hey guys.. how do i use apt-get to install suggested packages along with the package/extra packages? [17:22] ati drivers work =well w/ newer cards [17:23] anything 9800 or less, is crap [17:23] Ciao, sono nuovo a questa chat, ma non riesco a vedere la mia quickcam logitech messenger in alcun modo...

[17:23] driver=card [17:24] antonius: And there's no problem with the card? I've got a friend who spent a lot of time configuring an ATI-card [17:24] err [17:24] the driver....only works well with newer cards [17:24] so if u have an older ATI, radeon 9800 or less...not gonna work well [17:24] also ctrl-alt-backspace no longer works...?

[17:32] cuz changing the resolution is VERY easy [17:32] antonius: I know it's in the xorg.conf, but I don't know what to add or where.. I don't want dual monitor, just to have it output at the correct resolution [17:32] what does it mean if sample count doesn't match width*height in a png image?

So if one is already running, the next one it makes for vnc etc is :1 which makes the port 5900+1 or 5901 [17:54] antonius: I don't know, for some reason all of the linux VNC sessions default to using :1 instead of :0 (so, :5901 instead of :5900) [17:54] ruffin, thats a windows game right?

[17:58] ^^ Mindrocker [17:59] maybe netbook remix? [17:59] oh i have like 300mb ram only in that ..so guess its a no any other light operating system ? [17:59] Mindrocker [17:59] xubuntu [17:59] give it a go, if it's still slow, try DSL or Puppy [17:59] alright [17:59] As I know so far, on ubuntu only 2 speakers are opened. Can I open all speakers on ubuntu ? (I mean, all 4 speakers I have) [18:00] MS-DOS 6.2 runs fine on an 80286/8 with 640K of RAM [18:00] Mindrocker, probably ubuntu is not the right choice. There are a number of light weight distros (xubuntu is only alright). [18:00] alright i will give it a try guys..thanks a lot.. [18:00] Mindrocker, if you don't care about security, puppy linux is good as antonius suggested.

[18:22] musikgoat|main, can i just edit the fstab changing all the sdax to sdbx and then add the section with the sda uuid to the mountpoint i need in /var/ftp/sub-dir? [18:22] rampage73: #ubuntu-mobile iirc [18:22] jussi01, thanks [18:22] does anyone know why my signal strength is really low on ubuntu? [18:23] u sure u connected to the right access point? [18:23] When i try to install ubuntu, near the end, Grub cannot finish install... Fatal error ... What 's the probleme ? [18:23] andria need more info [18:24] Mindrocker, generally, there is a balance between features and efficiency. In my opinion, xubuntu looses features compared to ubuntu but does not gain enough in efficiency to justify the loss of them. puppy on the other hand does. [18:24] I am connected to the correct netowrk if thats what you mean [18:24] is you signal actually low? can you check the router [18:24] hi all [18:24] Mindrocker: if u want shiny features, xubunutu may not be for you [18:24] I am getting the following errro in apache logs [18:24] (32)Broken pipe: core_output_filter: writing data to the network [18:24] and it seems to be from the kernel [18:24] can someone please help me fix this? [18:24] I have had problems with the display showing a diff strenght than actual [18:24] ThePhoenix its probably the simple fact the drivers for windows are better for your wifi card then on linux [18:24] can anyone recommend me a decent MSN client (gtk)? [18:24] no its not the signal. Windows was at almost 100% [18:24] do you ever think one day windows may be abandoned in favour of unix-like systems? [18:24] pidgin keeps randomly crashing on me [18:24] EdgEy amsn [18:24] google around for some new drivers [18:24] Mindrocker: it requires a bit of customization in order to suite ur needs.. [18:25] tones, it already has been. [18:25] tones no [18:25] tones ... not now, because to do play on linux, it's always difficult ! [18:25] but im using the windows driver with ndiswrapper [18:25] jdu: 90% of users are still glued to windows [18:25] hi all [18:25] ThePhoenix, is this a fresh install or you had it a while and always been low? [18:25] both my desktops + laptops are windows [18:25] Andria: yeah.. sacrifices could be made [18:25] i was trying to update my system and install the restricted codecs. [18:25] MIndrocker: I have choice, hardware wise, and still use XFCE...it's all about u and your likes [18:25] but all my servers are linux based [18:26] with this code : sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras libdvdcss2 -y [18:26] i have had it for about a month and it has always been low. But it was a little faster under intrpied [18:26] TJ`: stick to linux, its the past and future i think [18:26] ThePhoenix, is your wireless card listedin the restricted drivers? [18:26] Who should be informed regarding the following ( that was just reported to me ): kvirc irc client is currently at a stable 3.4.2; the version avail from the base 9.04 is a pretty bug ridden 3.2.4 which is darned old also [18:27] Mindrocker, I second antonius, I have choice hardware wise but use dwm [18:27] tones for servers definately [18:27] ok so maybe it has been like 2 months not 1 [18:27] but not for the desktop [18:27] not yet [18:27] does anyone know how to make it so if you hover your mouse over a window it brings focus to that window? i'm using beryl.. [18:27] ubuntu 9, gnome [18:27] I got stuck when the java box pooped up. I was confused by it reading “configuring sun java etc” and then had “ok” at the bottom. So I was like “ok” I’ll just sit here and wait, but then nothing happened…lol….then I accidentally closed the terminal and then got stuck with message when I tried again, “dpkg package was interupted…” [18:27] i think linux and windows are not different enough to drive each other entirely out of the market [18:27] TJ`: well i cant force you... [18:27] my wireless card is a D-Link DWL-G650M [18:27] raboof: id safely say windows is nothing compared to any unix [18:27] then i ran this just type “sudo dpkg –configure -a” [18:27] where are the restriced lists? [18:27] if something is going to become dominant, it would be something different in a more revolutionar way [18:28] ThePhoenix, System>Admin..>Hardware [18:28] ok [18:28] i don't have any domain names, but use avahi to broadcase my webserver on my lan, site1.local . I have added another vhost to httpd.conf and have a new host name in /etc/hosts but can not access my new site outside of the local machine. So can still see site1.local but can't see site2.local . any ideas? [18:28] now i got this Error:Broken count>0 [18:28] E:_cache->open() failed, please report. I am really stuck what do i do? [18:28] campee, you probably need to look at option regarding sloppy focus [18:28] raboof: i cant fault that argument.. [18:28] tones its just that linux is still not plug and play [18:28] can anyone help me please [18:29] TJ`: it is very close, and drivers are free and easily installable [18:29] it says no proprietary drivers are in use on this system [18:29] TJ`, some times it is more so than windows, printers for example [18:29] such a 'revolutionary' new OS would likely need to be 'jump-started' and be somewhat backwards-compatible to support existing software [18:29] printers???? [18:29] lol [18:29] no way [18:29] linux is better on plug and play than windows, for devices that are supported [18:29] printers on linux - for me - is not as easy as windows [18:29] if its supported, it just works [18:29] ThePhoenix, so the box there is empty? and do you have restricted enabled in Software Sources? [18:29] on windows thats not always true [18:29] a POSIX interface and the GNU tools sound like a good candidate for that, so you might argue that would make it 'unix-like' to some extent [18:29] sure there are less drivers [18:29] the box is empty and i have no idea [18:29] raboof: word documents can be opened in openoffice and similar, and exes can be opened in wine [18:30] till now feel like getting puppy but i guess if i download xubuntu i can get huge expert support from here so its a huge plus..so im thinking [18:30] raboof: they can be opened in wine...whether or not they work..that's just up to the oracle [18:30] xubuntu really doesn't have much less "features" than ubuntu/kubuntu [18:31] yes i do have proprietary enabled in software sources [18:31] #ubuntu-tr [18:31] ThePhoenix, System > Admin..> Software Sources, go thru all the tabs and enable all but the "CD Rom..." stuff [18:31] EdgEy: agreed...i find it equal, possible greater if u take the time to customize it [18:31] but nobody likes to spend time on their desktop anymore?? this USED to be linux!!! jeezz.. [18:31] i have no need for KDE or GNOME, i mean, even xfce has a lot of "bloat" for me [18:31] Seaphor can you help me please [18:31] i need to try fluxbox or something similar :) [18:31] EdgEy: fluxbox ftw.. [18:32] ATTN ALL BASH h4x0rz: how can I select all inside of the terminal [18:32] I dare say this isn't the place for the question, but would anyone know about an channel for help with IRC clients, Xchat specifically [18:32] EdgEy: how about the command line? [18:32] ThePhoenix, then reload and run the updater [18:32] tones, well there's a big difference there [18:32] EdgEy: if u take the time to set ur keys, fluxbox is fricckin great [18:32] edf [18:32] the difference between xfce GUI and KDE GUI to me is basically nothing [18:32] like restart? [18:32] EdgEy: youll get used to it [18:32] any ideas where I could write in a select all feature into BASH? [18:32] nevermind [18:32] sagredo: select all of what? [18:33] no ThePhoenix no... [18:33] anyone need help? [18:33] tones: like if I have a skjfksdjfksdjfksjdfkjsdkfjkdj in my terminal and I do not want to wait to press+hold backspace [18:33] hey prentice [18:33] ok i did it and nothing happened [18:33] i need help [18:33] tones: come on man we're using a *nix OS here we have to be quick [18:33] the right way [18:33] ThePhoenix, after you make changes in Sources, it "reloads" the list of updates [18:33] not restarting [18:33] sagredo: ctrl-u? [18:33] which is bigger ? windows xp or ubuntu ? [18:33] xp [18:34] yeah i figured that out right after i asked about the restart [18:34] raboof: works for me! thanks mate [18:34] Mindrocker: probably ubuntu by default [18:34] ThePhoenix, run the updater now [18:34] but not by much [18:34] ok [18:34] raboof: beat me to it [18:34] ;) [18:34] there are no updates [18:34] Mindrocker: depends on how much is in either [18:35] Mindrocker: that would have to be qualified, i think. do you mean base installs or feature-for-feature? [18:35] hi all. i have an issue. a thomson 122g wifi card has a driver disc. the driver disk is missing some directories. in windows, the directories show up, in ubuntu 2 of the directories are missing. is this a known issue or something?? [18:35] ThePhoenix, re-check the restricted hardware drivers section ... [18:35] Mindrocker: Ubuntu is bigger nearly as twice [18:35] Mindrocker: minimalist ubuntu is probably smaller than xp id think [18:35] still empty [18:36] ubuntu is definitely not "compact" [18:36] tinycorelinux and DSL are compact [18:36] minimalist like vi+bash? [18:36] help with anyremote, please!!!!! [18:36] Lint01: thats not minimalist, thats almost suicide [18:36] what do i do when it say, "only one management application tool can run at the same time?

Just sit and wait for someone to ask. I'm sure you won't be waiting long [18:38] guess your right on that tones [18:38] Mindrocker, it is bigger by hard drive space [18:38] Prentice, I got stuck when the java box pooped up. I was confused by it reading “configuring sun java etc” and then had “ok” at the bottom. So I was like “ok” I’ll just sit here and wait, but then nothing happened…lol….then I accidentally closed the terminal and then got stuck with message when I tried again, “dpkg package was interupted…” [18:38] da_bboxking: there is a dpkg hiding in the corner, kill that and try again [18:38] but you can argue that's only because ubuntu has a lot of bundled apps [18:38] is this something i should be worried about? http://gar.pastebin.com/f3bab7527 [18:38] prentice gime a suggestion bro, xubuntu or puppy ?

[19:43] raub, yeah i think so.. i mean i did sudo /usr/sbin/sshd otherwise it complains i need to use the full path or something like that [19:43] FLJohn: no it most likely will not cause it to spontaneously reboot unless your getting errors while rebooting.. your restarting is prolly a hardware problem.. you should NEVER run fsck on an already mounted filesystem.. IE: drop to a recovery shell and run it.. not from a terminal in Gnome [19:43] How do I make NetworkManager set the rate to 5.5M for a particular wireless network? The network doesn't work otherwise.

So I'm installing that now [19:44] d0t: See if sudo /etc/init.d/sshd start does the trick [19:44] raub one second please..

[19:47] chriswr: In a terminal, [ ls -a ] will also show you any files, hidden or not. [19:47] WIGGMPk: last night when i was playing chess on the computer, the machine just rebooted spontaneously and gave me this screen and it locked up. [19:47] http://www.glorystock.com/error.jpg [19:47] cptblood, I have never used it let me check to see if there is an irc channel [19:47] d0t: Should be. Try to ssh in. I like to make sure that root cannot login thoough [19:47] burvowski Here's a comment on the theme page: WARNING: This theme requires the Ubuntulooks engine, but if you try to install that package, it will want to REMOVE human-theme, ubuntu-artwork *and* ubuntu-desktop. [19:47] guntbert, he was explaining what tvheadend [19:47] raub.. can i try ssh 1.0.0.127 ? [19:48] guntbert: iamtechno wondered what hts was, and i gave him a link to it [19:48] hey, can anyone tell me how to look divx videos on ubuntu???...well, in firefox? [19:48] NvidiaUser good find! i guess i should have read that more carefully. i'll just try to live without it then i guess [19:48] & [19:48] cptblood: sorry, my mistake :) [19:48] FLJohn: thats interesting.. was it the built in Chess or a 3rd party installed game... btw, running fsck on a mounted filesystem will usually cause data corruption.. [19:48] to watch divx video use vlc it works very good [19:48] Johnny_B_Good, Do you have the divx plugin installed [19:48] WIGGMPk: It was the chess that came with the program [19:48] I need some help, I removed grub, installed gfx-boot, and when im trying to do "sudo grub" than "find /boot/grub/stage1" I keep getting "Error 15: File not found"... I am running Jaunty amd64, with an Intel Matrix raid0 setup. [19:48] NvidiaUser is there any way to get the human themes back [19:49] burvowski and if the Remix is based off of Studio which it might be then at the moment it is incompatible to my understanding [19:49] FLJohn: is it the first time its happened? [19:49] burvowski http://www.gnome-look.org/ should have them [19:49] WIGGMPk: Yes,. I asked last night if that was just a red herring and now one had an answer [19:49] NvidiaUser thanks [19:50] iamtechno, no sorry...how do I do this? [19:50] Then today I was doing something and right in the middle the machine booted up again. I did not get that screen that I posted this time. [19:50] FLJohn: what verison of buntu are you running? and are you fully up to date? [19:50] WIGGMPk: 8.04 [19:50] FLJohn: i suppose 8.04.2?

[19:51] Johnny_B_Good, Open up firefox and in the area where you type web addresses, type about:plugins. When you do that let me know. [19:51] WIGGMPk: I had a problem with 9.04 64. [19:51] FLJohn: i mean, have you downloaded all of the updates [19:51] WIGGMPk: yes [19:51] WIGGMPk: all updates are done. === jago25_99 is now known as jago25_98 [19:52] ok...

[19:54] raub, no the only processes are 7667 pts/0 00:00:00 bash [19:54] 7860 pts/0 00:00:00 ps [19:54] Johnny_B_Good, Okay not sure what Ja is but it looks like you should be able to play divx movies. Is there a specific site/video that you can give me a link to so that I personally can check? [19:54] WIGGMPk: Intergrated Video AMD/ATI http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4016440&CatId=2320 [19:54] what does sudo /etc/init.d/ssh status tell you? [19:54] iamtechno, ja=yes [19:55] hi. got a htpc with 2.6ghz dualcore, nvidia 8600gt, 2gb ram pc4200, and it laggs like a mofo when playing mkv files. both vlc and mpløayer. smplayer helps on some files. but not all. [19:55] kino.to [19:55] so here is a question, i started to dl a torrent in windows, but now i am in ubuntu, is there a way to continue the dl from where it left off? would installing utorrent in wine help? [19:55] raub, * Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server sshd [ OK ] [19:55] iamtechno, http_kino.to [19:55] its connected to a 1080i tv using a vga cable [19:55] iamtechno, http://kino.to [19:55] d0t: not start but status [19:55] alan_simmonds: load the torrent in any torrent program and point it at the right download location [19:55] Johnny_B_Good, German okay I should have caught that. Let me check it out. [19:55] raub, sorry one sec :) [19:55] you sure? [19:56] iamtechno, ok thanks [19:56] boss_mc: your sure? [19:56] raub, * sshd is running [19:56] raub, werid... [19:56] alan_simmonds: yep, it will do a md5sum check to work out how much it needs to download [19:56] d0t: Firewall issues is my bet [19:56] alan_simmonds: then just starts where it left off [19:56] boss_mc: is there anything like utorrent, that doesnt get pissy if you havent shared alot? [19:56] ruab, why it's not visible with ps then ? [19:57] Hola [19:57] alan_simmonds: no torrent client gets pissy about that, it's the trackers that stop you [19:57] FLJohn: im sorry im stumped.. try poking around in /var/log and check the logs for around the time it happened and see what you dig up [19:57] d0t: I dunno. If you did ps ux | grep ssh ; you should have seen the sshd instance [19:57] d0t: are you able to ssh localhost ? and as for ps: by default it shows only processes attached to your current session, try ps aux| grep ssh [19:57] WIGGMPk: How do I check around. I have no idea [19:58] hello [19:58] hey, im having a problem with rubygems, I have tried installing rubygems, rubygems1.8 and rubygems1.9 - but when I type 'gem' in the terminal it just tells me that I can get 'gem' from rubygems1.8 or rubygems1.9...

[20:55] drfreema: thanks brb [20:55] haggis-AAO: it crack a guess at #unr [20:55] i'll see :) [20:56] nope :( [20:56] haggis-AAO: You can ask your questions in here though [20:56] okay [20:56] haggis-AAO: no ideas then.. google is your freind ;) [20:56] proq: rkhunter said I was ok~ [20:57] Dmole: maybe someone had the password to the machine? [20:57] i updated unr and now gnome-panel don't show and maximux don't maximize windows plus i am missing the tabs thing at the top of the unr gui [20:57] Dmole: Did you enable your root account? [20:58] haggis-AAO: looked at https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/netbook-remix ? [20:58] as I understand it, in Ubuntu8.04 the right want to modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf is with /usr/bin/dexconf correct? [20:58] does anyone know of a CLI messaging client that supports yahoo/aim/msn? [20:58] cheebz: centerim [20:58] cheebz: bitlbee [20:59] thanks losher [20:59] proq: people do and it was one of those accounts that wasy hyjaced [20:59] cheebz: finch (cli of pidgin kinda) [20:59] After installing nVidia driver, the sound and flash animations is sped up (Jaunty 9.04).. it worked fine in 8.10. Has anyone else had a similar issue? [20:59] Flannel: why? [20:59] thanks all, i'll check those out [20:59] Flannel: o [20:59] Dmole: Because otherwise your root account is locked, so there must've been another vector. [20:59] cheebz: no worries :) [21:00] Flannel: I don't think they got into root or any sudo users [21:00] Cojage: there seems to be some lengthy discussion on it all here; http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=235930 [21:00] Flannel: I just found one account running ssh-scan [21:01] Hi here. [21:01] anyone here have experience with aircrack-ng [21:01] ? [21:01] !hi | blue112 [21:01] blue112: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [21:01] xD [21:01] can any one here help me with Jaunty in private chat? [21:02] jake_: better in the channel, then others can help too [21:02] !PM | jake_ [21:02] jake_: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [21:02] having trouble with update manager [21:02] I get a very long massage [21:02] jake_ ?! [21:02] mmm long massage [21:03] There seem to be instructions for upgrading kubuntu 8.04 to 9.04 with Adept, but what about standard Ubuntu 8.04? I really do not want to waste all of the time (and bandwidth!) to upgrade to Intrepid first! [21:03] or do you mean message [21:03] a long massage? that sounds kind of personal! [21:03] very long [21:03] jake_: use a past bin [21:03] LOL [21:03] lol [21:03] it sounds nice too [21:03] it will not connect to the server [21:03] so when it comes to using resources it;s gnome > KDE > xfce? is there other gui interface uses lower resources than xfce? [21:03] SOG twm! [21:03] SOG: fluxbox [21:03] xfce uses less resources than kde by far. [21:03] jake_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [21:04] SOG: KDE and Gnome use about the same. And, yes, there's lots. blackbox, fluxbox, ratpoison, etc, etc [21:04] SOG: I'm using fluxbox as we speak. [21:04] SOG: about 20.. ratpoison, stumpwm, etc. [21:04] Does anyone know how i can install AWN or engage dock for the new Ubuntu? [21:04] !pastebin | jake_ [21:04] jake_: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [21:04] oh wait, ubuntu have them ?! [21:04] !windowmanager | SOG [21:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about windowmanager [21:04] !windowmanagers | SOG [21:04] SOG: A desktop environment is what "puts the pieces of a !GUI together". The available desktop environments in Ubuntu are !GNOME (ubuntu-desktop), !KDE (kubuntu-desktop), !Xfce (xubuntu-desktop), IceWM, !Fluxbox, WindowMaker (wmaker), FVWM and others - See also !Flavors [21:04] SOG: They're in the repositories, yes. [21:04] hackel: why even bother. 8.04 has long term support until 2011 or some such. What's in 9.04 that you can't wait? [21:04] SOG: Yes, also, if they're not in the repos you can install from source.. [21:04] nice... [21:04] i have awn on ubuntu 9.04 [21:04] how do you turn up the base on the sound in ubuntu? [21:04] !Flavors [21:04] just installed via synaptic [21:04] !GTK and !Qt are !GUI toolkits (i.e. software libraries that draw buttons, textboxes, etc). !GNOME, !KDE, !Xfce and friends are "!desktop environments", which build on top of such libraries to provide a "consistent" desktop experience. !Kubuntu and !Xubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with KDE and Xfce (respectively) installed as default, instead of GNOME. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu [21:05] losher: better hardware support :p [21:05] SOG: why not just use the CLI? [21:05] * SOG is opening Synapyic to do a search [21:05] System404: when i tried that it just errored [21:05] :S [21:05] jelly: install audacios [21:05] SOG: That's the best way, yes. [21:05] zenzr: if you need it, you need it. But if your 8.04 is already running fine.... [21:05] Code-E: wat was the error [21:05] Dmole: CLI gets boring at times. [21:05] how do you run in runlevel 3 in recovery mode? [21:05] Something about gnome dependancies, then i updated gnome and it didnt help [21:06] wat kernal do u have [21:06] thanks guys gonaa see if i can find them, brb [21:06] does it end in 11 or 12 [21:06] losher, faster boot, ext4, etc. That's a silly question. Lots of newer software. [21:06] * tones is signing out [21:06] * zenxr says use fluxbox! [21:06] zenxr: true but anything light is rarely interesting for long [21:06] bdfoster: startx in CLI [21:06] im not sure, i was using ubuntu in a virtual pc before, ive got it on my main now. Whichever the newest ubuntu has, downloaded it two days ago [21:06] Dmole: haha, yeah. [21:06] bdfoster: runlevel 3 is not recovery mode... you want to switch without rebooting? `telinit 3` [21:06] http://paste.ubuntu.com/180647/plain/ [21:06] hope thats rite [21:06] code e pm me ill talk u through wat i did [21:07] f u cn rd ths, u r prbly a trrbl spllr. [21:07] i cant have x running in order to do this [21:07] hackel: I think you overstate the advantages. For all that newness you also get reduced stability.... [21:07] hi people =) anyone could help me please? :s [21:07] zenxr: are you using proxy or dns mods? [21:07] I've been running Jaunty on 2 of my machines for a long time, no stability issues whatsoever. [21:07] losher: that's a fallacious assumption. you get more bugfixes in jaunty [21:07] did anyone get that? [21:07] Dmole: why do you ask? [21:07] installed an app recently via aptitude, how can I view my terminal log to see what dependencies were added? [21:07] zenxr: sorry wrong person :) [21:07] losher: You do, but if it is more than stable enough for a desktop machine [21:08] jake_: are you using proxy or dns mods? [21:08] klync: i cant run x while i am updating this driver [21:08] losher: you don't need to worry [21:08] Dmole: you had me worried for a sec :] [21:08] * zenxr runs to throw on extra firewall [21:08] klync: but i need to be in runlevel 3, how do you do that? [21:08] I have no idea what you are talking about I'm a noob [21:08] i need help with ssh througn nautilus [21:08] zenxr: you should be one of my servers where hacked so theres no telling what I'll do next [21:09] the repositories are just gone [21:09] bdfoster: ctrl-alt-f1 then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [21:09] what about in kde? [21:09] it worked till a week ago [21:09] Dmole: lol. [21:09] !ask | Flins [21:09] Flins: 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. :-) [21:09] jake_: can you ping any of those url's from the machine you are running update on? === ripps_ is now known as ripps [21:09] weird thing happens and i don't know why.. when i do ssh localhost i can connect normally but when i try to use my ip (or host using no-ip) it says my password is wrong any ideas ?! [21:10] yes [21:10] jake_: 192.168.0.100:8080 is not the ip of an external server [21:10] why is it trying it then [21:10] Flannel: what about in kde? [21:10] ? [21:10] jake_: what did you install on your box? [21:10] this random crashing is starting to suck in jaunty, anyone know if the problem(s) have been isolated? [21:10] 1i [21:10] !it [21:10] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [21:10] Guys anyone know of a good development environment for c# and asp.net on Linux? [21:10] bdfoster: then it'd be kdm instead of gdm (whichver you use to log in with) [21:10] !nvidia [21:10] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [21:10] !monodevelop [21:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about monodevelop [21:10] Hiemanshu: emacs, vim [21:11] CAN someone please help i just installed vm server remotely on a ubuntu server box, and i managed to log into the UI remotley and the CPU usage is showing 100% and so is HTOP , has this happened to anyone i haven't even added a VM yet [21:11] Flannel: ok thanks [21:11] proq, i need an IDE not editor [21:11] <``y7> anybody here familiar with fios and ubuntu? a little background info: fios changes the external dynamic ips every 6-12 months. my problem is that when they change the ip, ubuntu does not automatically obtain the new ip address. any ideas as to why that's happening? [21:11] Hiemanshu: emacs *is* an ide [21:11] proq, someone suggested monodevelop [21:11] it's really an OS Hiemanshu don't use it, vi ftw! [21:11] letalis: you're actually the first person I've hard complaining about crashing in jaunty.. it happens randomly? what hardware do you use? [21:12] Hiemanshu: and? [21:12] nickgrey147: for starters issue: sudo /etc/init.d/vmware stop, see if the load reduces [21:12] proq, i dont know what to do really [21:12] Hiemanshu: why not try them out [21:12] floryn u there? [21:12] you are right thats my ip [21:12] !u | nightdrever [21:12] nightdrever: U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' or 'Ur' are words in the English language. Nor are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'Ne1' or 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information. [21:12] proq, the only thing that is stopping me from complete linuxing is this, i am using Linux+Windoiws for 4 years now [21:13] how do I fix it? === ameier is now known as zer0rez [21:13] nightdrever: GF! [21:13] proq, anything you suggest good enough? [21:13] Hiemanshu: there is also eclipse with C# plugins [21:13] Hiemanshu: I suggest you try them out and see what you like best [21:13] Hello. Is there any possibility to not use PulseAudio at all? How can I achieve that? [21:13] hello [21:13] should I do clean install? [21:13] no [21:13] Slart, its a laptop. it has an intel 5100 wireless chipset and it seems to be network related. [21:13] !pulseaudio [21:13] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [21:13] stanis_sh: sure, you can uninstall it and use alsa, if you want [21:14] Hiemanshu: the only IDE you want to use is eclipse [21:14] stanis_sh: but make sure that it is pulseaudio that is messing things up and not alsa [21:14] ewww, eclipse [21:14] hmmmm, i ll give it try guys [21:14] do anyone know how i can use TPM with ubuntu. for example for disk encryption [21:14] thanks === solimar is now known as GaMbLe [21:14] guntbert: ok , i stopped the services and no its still 100% , but doesnt seem to be lagging :S its normaly at like 20-30 max :O [21:14] heh... I hate eclipse but some people like it [21:14] letalis: nothing interesting in the logs? [21:14] intrepid never had problems on this thing, but its also intermitant so i cant find things to reproduce the failure. [21:14] Slart: Not at all. ubuntu-desktop depends on it. [21:14] Hiemanshu: http://www.improve-technologies.com/alpha/esharp/ [21:15] Slart, its usually a kernel panic and theres nothing really that states what or why the panic occured :/ [21:15] stanis_sh: ubuntu-desktop can be safely removed [21:15] it sucks. [21:15] Hiemanshu: I just use gedit for all my programming work [21:15] stanis_sh: so? how large is the ubuntu-desktop package on your system? [21:15] !ohmy | letalis [21:15] letalis: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [21:15] gordonjcp, but an IDE is autocomplete ;)' [21:15] jaunty dual screen. how? [21:15] Hiemanshu: I hate autocomplete [21:16] Hiemanshu: I'm sure you can get a plugin to do it [21:16] letalis: hmm.. and of course, if you use, for example, any redmond based os on it works alright? [21:16] yoyit2: which graphics card do u have? [21:16] yoyiit2: plug in the second monitor and look at the screen resolution app [21:16] Hiemanshu: native IDEs are kdevelop and anjuta, which both have autocomplete [21:16] Hiemanshu: disregard gordonjcp he likes coding in assembly [21:16] gordonjcp, thanks i ll try it out [21:16] Hiemanshu: emacs has a few different kinds of autocomplete [21:16] hey guys how are you [21:16] Dmole: no, I get *paid* to code in assembly, I *like* coding in Forth [21:16] ? [21:16] its a laptop with a Nvida [21:16] proq, no offence but i HATE emacs [21:16] !emacs [21:16] Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [21:16] Slart, honestly, it had vista on it. for about 15 minutes. its always had ubuntu on it since i bought it :) [21:17] gordonjcp: :) lol wow [21:17] letalis: =).. I was mostly thinking it might be heat related or something like that [21:17] Hiemanshu: vim is useful to know [21:17] yoyit2: like zenxr said just plug it in and look at the screen res app [21:17] Hiemanshu: no matter what happens you've always got vim, or at least vi [21:17] gordonjcp, i know them all :) i just need a good IDE [21:17] where can i ask quwstion about certifications [21:17] ? [21:17] gordonjcp, i am just learning so i would love an IDE [21:17] lantjie: what kind of certifications? [21:17] gordonjcp: what do you make? [21:18] Slart, i usually keep it on a cooling pad when its in use [21:18] my keystrokes keep going all over the place in 9.04 UNR how do i fix this? [21:18] yoyit2: system>Prefrences> Screen Resolution [21:18] Hiemanshu: We all develop differently; you should try a few out, find out what works for you. [21:18] I am looking for a compatible motherboard that will work with nvidia 9300m gs, any suggestion? [21:18] Dmole: all sorts of things [21:18] ju1c3: i plugged it in, but it only clones the desktop, not extends it [21:18] Slart: linux [21:18] Thanks guys [21:18] Slart: I have a bunch of problems with Skype and PulseAudio. Without PulseAudio and ubuntu-desktop there's no lags in the conversations. [21:18] anyone can help me with ssh through nautilus? [21:18] !hardware | harpreet_ [21:18] guntbert: AAhhh thanks you helped me find it , htop says its root doing sumthing its proberly a pop up from the vm installer i couldnt get to ( working over ssh ) , gues ill just reboot [21:18] harpreet_: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [21:18] it works through the terminal but not through nautilus which is strange [21:18] Hi I recently installed jaunty afresh and now i only have 640x480 screen resolution available. it worked fine in intrepid but now i cannot seem to get higher resolution. please advice [21:18] stanis_sh: the pulseaudio support in skype is whack [21:18] lantjie: uhm.. I don't really know.. someone hands those out? [21:18] im trying to figure it out, seems people on the forums were having random kernel panics and such in jaunty. though no one has isolated the why behind it. [21:19] kippy: Install your graphic card's drivers. [21:19] yoyit2: are your graphics drivers installed? [21:19] its intel 845 [21:19] Hi, How can i log on to ubuntu the same way i would log in using windows xp? [21:19] kippy: Then you should be able to select an higher resolution [21:19] no graphics card [21:19] nickgrey147: I hope it will be better then :-) [21:19] lantjie: #ubuntu-offtopic would be an appropriate place regarding certifications [21:19] kippy: They should be drivers anyway. [21:19] stanis_sh: then you've already tried running ubuntu without pulseaudio.. or? [21:19] ju1c3: yes they are [21:19] Krine11, without a password? [21:19] boss_mc: What do you mean? [21:19] Slart: yes. [21:19] xrandr only shows 640x480 as availble mode [21:19] Yes i mean without a password, and also where it shows all the list of accounts [21:20] Krinell : one second [21:20] Dmole: pretty much everything from web apps to tiny tiny embedded controllers [21:20] Like in windows xp you just click on your account and you simply log in to your account [21:20] Krine11: pm me ill talk you through it [21:20] ok [21:20] Slart: do you know if i can do the ubuntu certified professinal without having other cerification [21:20] ? [21:20] stanis_sh: It's buggy, over time it slowly lags the audio because it somehow overlapps the input and output buffers (you sometimes hear the test woman's spiel played back to you when you do a test call) [21:20] Krine11, it can be done, but ive always seen that as a security risk. up to you though [21:20] guntbert: me to boss wants me to setup blades with oracle clusters and ive neva used a vm in my life all tho it seems quite striaght forward === kevin_ is now known as uvacav [21:20] today seems a fine day for FS stupidity... root now owns my dap... [21:20] krinell: open the gnome-control-center [21:20] Krine11: there's an option in System->Adminstration->Login Window that allows you to enable auto-login for specific users [21:21] krniell: in the System menu, open the login window [21:21] blue112, what should i install? [21:21] or do it how ripps said :p, I just don't run gnome :0 [21:21] yoyit2: try that link [21:21] nickgrey147: good luck and you know: theres #vmware on freenode too [21:21] ju1c3: which link? [21:21] kippy: You should launch restricted drivers manager, then it tells you which drivers you should install. [21:21] is there any simple speech recognition software in the repositories that can take a mp3 podcast and put it in text? [21:21] yoyoit: i sent a pm [21:21] lantjie: I have no idea.. I didn't even know you could become an ubuntu certified professional [21:22] boss_mc: it is [21:22] yoyit2: look for my name under you channel window [21:22] lantjie: Again, #ubuntu-offtopic would be a more appropriate place for this discussion. However, http://www.ubuntu.com/training/certificationcourses/ucp that mentions a few exams you need to pass to be a UCP, and also links to pre-reqs [21:22] Slart: oke well you can now be certified man [21:22] yoyit2: i think what your looking for is called twinview [21:22] lantjie: check to ubuntu home page for info on that [21:22] stanis_sh: then I don't realise what the problem is.. you've managed to remove pulseaudio once? do the same thing again? or am I missing something? [21:23] guntbert: thanks , yea i tried there, its dead [21:23] blue112, i went to system>admin>hardware drivers and it tells no properietry drivers to install [21:23] lantjie: http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntucert [21:23] kippy: You should look at the doc to find out how to install the drivers for your graphic chip. [21:23] i'm trying to shut down a computer using poweroff or shutdown -h now.. this shuts down the hard drive, but doesn't actually turn off the system.. [21:23] does anybody know if there is a bug with the text jumping around the text area in 9.04 [21:23] i just installed ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop and im not able to get sound only in my earphones, sound comes from speaker too, how to fix that? :-/ [21:24] uvacav: speech recognition is never simple... I doubt you'll be able to do now or in the next 20 years.. [21:24] it just says "System halted." and there it is.. [21:24] it's a quite old computer (we're talking pre-2000 here).. [21:24] Slart: Well, if it is a Good And Only Solution, I will remove it again. ;) [21:24] thiebaude, I thought "home page" was like a term from back in the 1998 AOL days? do people still use the word "home" when describing websites? or are you showing your age ? ;) [21:24] so i'm guessing the ACPI support isn't the best [21:24] blue112, which doc? lspci | grep VGA tell that its Intel 82845G/GL. can u help? [21:24] eseven73: :) [21:25] evening [21:25] stanis_sh: as far as I know there is nothing bad about removing pulseaudio by uninstalling it.. go ahead.. feel free to do a little "no pulseaudio"-dance when you're done ;) [21:25] kippy: I can't help since I don't have this chip. Go on the official ubuntu doc (I don't know the english one). There should be something there. [21:25] eseven73: ppl actually still use AOL [21:25] oh lord [21:25] lol [21:25] blue112, thanks [21:26] Flins: you've played around with all the sliders in gnome-volume-manager? tried the preferences to show sliders that might be hidden etc? [21:26] yah already tried that [21:27] Slart: Dance with ALSA more preferable for me. [21:27] stanis_sh: =) [21:27] So how do I install AWN Dock? [21:27] !awn [21:27] Avant Window Navigator is a dock-like navigation bar for the Linux desktop that positions itself at the bottom of the screen. Homepage http://wiki.awn-project.org/ Awn-Manager can be found the Gutsy !backports repository and in Universe in Hardy [21:27] Hello everyone [21:28] anyone familar with mailx here? basically im trying to change to others folders in the imap mailbox but always says the directory doesnt exist. Like when i issue the folders command it lists my folders. For example INBOX.Trash , Id like to change to this folder to view the contents but its not working [21:28] Code-E: of course the bot needs a liitle updating on that link [21:28] I was wondering is there a way to upgrade to the newest distro without reinstalling? [21:28] isn't AWN in the regular repos these days? [21:28] tritium: [21:28] tritium: hi [21:29] I searched for it in add/remove its not there.. and that wikki only has stuff for like the old ubuntu's === i_ is now known as Guest13072 [21:29] IceBall: System>Administration>Upadte Manager [21:29] Code-E: have you searched for "avant" ? [21:30] Code-E: it might not be called awn [21:30] ty so much [21:30] np [21:30] I searched AWN and dock [21:30] !info avant-window-navigator [21:30] avant-window-navigator (source: avant-window-navigator): A MacOS X like panel for GNOME. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3.2-0ubuntu2 (jaunty), package size 63 kB, installed size 316 kB [21:30] Code-E: try that one.. "sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator" or use synaptic [21:31] Alright. [21:31] Code-E: in the terminal type: sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator [21:31] hi [21:31] Alright will do [21:31] Slart: beat me to it [21:31] ju1c3: oiled my keyboard this morning =) [21:31] lol [21:31] how do I stop the rather annoying mouseover tooltips in 9.04 [21:31] Hi, How can i log on to ubuntu without it asking for my password? [21:31] IceBall,do you have /home on a separate partition? [21:31] Krine11: I think there is a checkbox in system, administration, login window [21:31] When you install theres a thing to set it to Automatically login [21:31] 1 [21:32] hello, I have bought a VGA -> SCART cable, and is trying to get my connected television to work [21:32] screen [21:32] my dad installed ubuntu under windows and he forgot his passwort. Since it was installed under windows, any advice mentioning GRUB does _not_ work. [21:32] any advice? [21:32] Krine11: at the security tab.. [21:32] weird thing happens and i don't know why.. when i do ssh localhost i can connect normally but when i try to use my ip (or host using no-ip) it says my password is wrong why is that ?! [21:33] d0t: bad encryption settins somewhere? [21:33] how do i stop ubuntu from making my cursor jump all over the place? [21:33] d0t do you have a proxy? [21:33] im using a radeon x1950 pro, with two connected cables, one goes to this monitor I am looking at right now, the other one goes to a VGA->SCART->tv set (old widescreen tv) [21:33] d0t: try the man page [21:33] aGracey, no [21:33] the tv monitor does not give any picture and doesn't respond to any resolution changes [21:33] julc3: true help...sigh [21:33] the tv shows up as unknown in the "display settings" [21:33] Can xinetd understand inetd syntax? [21:33] gartral, where can it be ? i checked ssh_config i think it's ok [21:33] d0t: ssh tells you the password is wrong? I doubt it.. it probably says something like Permission denied, right? [21:33] try the man page = RTFM [21:34] ju1c3, telling someone to man page, RTFM, or google it, isnt very helpful [21:34] Slart, yes.. [21:34] mrwes: man is da man [21:34] * eseven73 highfives mrwes [21:34] d0t: does ssh listen to the external network interface? [21:34] ju1c3: Please don't have that attitude here. [21:34] !attitude | mrwes [21:34] mrwes: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [21:34] eseven73: telling someone about man could let them help themselves [21:34] Greetings [21:34] Slart, yes i port-forward it.. [21:35] d0t: either something in the connection to the net is going through an encryption proxy, or your client has bad settings... or you may have set up ssh keys! [21:35] Somehow my Inspiron 1525 has lost sound on 9.04. I had it after upgrading, and even had flash sound after installing padevchooser, but it randomly stopped working. The only real change I added was adding a monitor, but I didn't think that'd make a difference... Any help? [21:35] how do I use bzip2 to compress from stdin? [21:35] it could yes, but they likely didn't come here to be told to read a man page, or google :) [21:35] ju1c3: Your response was not helpful in the least. Please don't do that. [21:35] Flannel: i mean no harm, just trying to help. the best advice i ever got about linux was man [21:35] could someone help me get my television working and my VGA -> SCART cable, please [21:35] Flare183, I was merely pointing out that telling someone to read the man page is as lame as saying RTFM -- read the logs [21:35] d0t: why not check the sshd logs and see what it says [21:35] s [21:35] i digged into the xorg.conf but I have no idea what to start [21:36] mrwes: I understand, but not everyone knows that [21:36] Slart, i don't really know where they're stored.. [21:36] i tried adding a setting, and it broke my configuration [21:36] Flare183, sigh.... [21:36] ju1c3: When helping, be helpful. Randomly telling someone to go read a rather large document with no additional information is not helpful. [21:36] d0t: most logs are in /var/log/ ... have a look.. see if you can find anything [21:36] Slart, alright give me a minute. [21:37] Flannel: is that not what a webpage is? same thing man. alot of these new users do not even know about man pages [21:37] d0t: /var/log/auth.log [21:37] My restart button just wanished of my menu, how to get it back ? [21:38] Flannel: i came here to get help and no one has helped me so i feel i should help others and ur gunna shun me for that. so much for 'community [21:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/180647/plain/ please tell me how to fix this [21:38] d0t: or better yet cat /var/log/auth.log | less [21:38] ju1c3: The webpages are for a particular purpose, particular topic, include headings, etc. But, even better, *dont* give them a webpage, give them actual support. [21:38] dadrock: right click on the panel, select Add to panel.. find "shutdown" [21:38] why won't it connect? [21:38] mrwes: less /var/log/syslog was to easy? =) [21:39] Flannel: can you help me with getting aircrack to work please? [21:39] mrwes: sorry... less /var/log/authl.log [21:39] ju1c3: You've been here for under an hour, and you asked your question once. Just because no one could help you at that time, doesn't mean you won't be helped. [21:39] bah.. I can't spell today.. [21:39] Slart, heh..yah...sorry missed that [21:39] Slart, i am getting shutdown button in the menu but not the restart option [21:39] ju1c3: But regardless of whether you've been helped, being rude isn't appreciated. [21:40] hello i recently screwed up my computer REAL BAD and had to reinstall xubuntu. Now everything is working well. [21:40] Slart, is it auth.log ?! it doesn't seem like it.. [21:40] Flannel: i was not being rude in any way, i'm trying to help... i asked u for help and now u r just being rude... [21:40] A friend told me there are ways to protect my system from blunders like I did, [21:40] dadrock: ah.. you want the "User switcher" applet.. not shutdown [21:40] d0t: less /var/log/auth.log doesn't work? [21:41] Does anyone have ideas how I can back up my pc settings? I'm running xubuntu 9.04 [21:41] Somehow my Inspiron 1525 has lost sound on 9.04. I had it after upgrading, and even had flash sound after installing padevchooser, but it randomly stopped working. The only real change I added was adding a monitor, but I didn't think that'd make a difference... Any help? [21:41] Slart , in that to i ma not getting the restart option [21:41] ju1c3: Unfortunately I don't know anything about wireless. Throwing someone a 40 page book and telling them "the answer's in there somewhere" (when it might not be) isn't helpful. [21:41] richfrog1: look into the command dd [21:41] !backup | richfrog1 [21:41] richfrog1: 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 [21:42] dadrock: hmm.. and you had a restart option before the button disappeared? [21:42] Flannel: give a man a fish, or teach him to fish? [21:42] yes,slart [21:42] ju1c3, it's impossible to argue with an op, just say "ok it won't happen again" and move on man :) [21:42] yep [21:42] nod [21:42] ju1c3: Then *teach*, don't say "there's fish in the water, good luck" [21:42] hey guys guys when r we gonna get a installer for linux? or ubuntu for that matter? [21:42] ubotto Thanks! [21:42] ju1c3, Flannel: can't you do this somewhere else? #ubuntu-ops or something? [21:42] thrillERboy: What? There's already an installer. [21:42] deb? [21:42] ju1c3, this channel is not for hacking/cracking tools help, please find a better channel [21:42] !apt [21:42] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) [21:42] thrillERboy: eh...we don't have one already? [21:43] thrillERboy: What are you looking for exactly? [21:43] hey all [21:43] !checkinstall [21:43] checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [21:43] joaopinto: i am a tester, i need this sofware for bizness. please dont assume [21:43] heh..checkinstall is great for source compiled packages [21:43] like, double click next next next finish. and yay! installed kinda thing, like what .deb files does [21:43] Slart, can it be any of these ?! i doubt it.. May 25 22:40:01 basem3nt dbus-daemon: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; t$ [21:43] May 25 22:40:01 basem3nt CRON[4516]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for$ [21:43] dadrock: hmm.. I just tried it and I get the restart option if I add a new "User switcher" applet.. not really sure why it would not do that for you [21:44] thrillERboy: Ubuntu uses deb files [21:44] I just installed ubuntu 9.04, I have a Pent 4 2.4GHz CPU, 2GB RAM, and intel onboard 865B graphics... if I purchase an AGP graphics card, how do you install under Ubuntu? === GMaculo_ is now known as GMaculo [21:44] lol your spelling "bizness" it like a stereotype from movies [21:44] how do I reset the user password in ubuntu without adding boot parameters? [21:44] ju1c3, even if you are a tester, this is not the proper channel to learn such activities, please find a security or wireless related channel [21:44] d0t: hmm.. don't think so.. are you sure there wasn't an auth.log file? can you run "ls /var/log/" ? [21:44] carldani: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword [21:44] BeatlesFan: should recognize and do the housekeeping automatically [21:44] tones: thanks! [21:44] So how do I make AWN look like OS X's dock? :) [21:44] carldani: In a nutshell, use the recovery console. But that page outlines in for you [21:45] Slart, there is auth.log what i pasted is from there [21:45] BeatlesFan: no worries :) [21:45] someone in korea is trying to break into my computer.. ip 211.38.137.44 [21:45] joaopinto: the problem is with ubuntu tho [21:45] d0t: try this from the terminal http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [21:45] tones: should I be able to get desktop enhancements with the onboard graphics? [21:45] Slart, the thing is the time isn't matching.. [21:45] sh00t... [21:45] what's the best way to figure out what the sound card in my laptop is? [21:45] gartral, and your problem is ? [21:45] gartral: how can you tell? [21:45] Flannel: except that I asked how to do it without GRUB. [21:45] paddyforan: lspci [21:45] BeatlesFan: Likely, yes. [21:45] d0t: cat /var/log/auth.log | grep ssh [21:45] BeatlesFan: probably [21:45] ryanprior: thanks. Any more information? [21:45] yep.... not all files are available in easy to install (.deb) easy to install format... I'm using deluge, songbird and acetone iso just because they have deb packages, [21:45] paddyforan, from a terminal type lspci [21:46] auth.log, has hundreds of this ip, fingering test, mythtv, me, and root... [21:46] Code-E: use Cairo dock it's easier ;) [21:46] tones: when I try I get "unable" diaglog [21:46] dialog [21:46] d0t: I just tried logging in via ssh with the wrong password and I get a line like this May 25 22:33:31 Comp03 sshd[9207]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=192.168.0.100 user=markus [21:46] carldani: you asked how to do it without adding boot parameters. Choosing recovery console isn't what most people consider adding boot parameters. Anyway, Do you have another account with access to sudo? [21:46] mrwes, alright one second please. [21:46] BeatlesFan: i know, i remember you [21:46] mrwes: thanks [21:46] Flannel: this machine has Ubuntu installed in a Windows partition and doesn't have any way to specify boot parameters I know of. [21:46] hi there, my Monitor doesnt go fully on standby , well he goes to standby but there is still light from it. any idea what to do? [21:46] tones: yeah, we had this discussion either last night or the night before [21:46] nalys, i tried using Cairo and found it ugly and too large [21:46] d0t: should be looking for something similar to this: [21:46] May 25 16:44:16 ubuntu sshd[9285]: Accepted publickey for administrator from 192.168.1.121 port 51960 ssh2 [21:46] Flannel: I do have a live CD booted, though. [21:46] thrillERboy: Thats correct. As this isn't a support discussion, would you mind moving it to #ubuntu-offtopic? [21:46] Flannel: sorry, I should have been more precise. [21:47] d0t: what is the exact error message you get when you try logging in using ssh? [21:47] sure... :) [21:47] BeatlesFan: wasnt it tonight? [21:47] I'm looking in the repos for cinepaint but don't see it.. I believe it use to be in Dapper 6.06.. am I just missing it? [21:47] tones: maybe, but I still haven't been able to get it to work [21:47] !search cinepaint [21:47] Found: [21:47] Evvv.... I'm the only one there? is there a channel for ubuntu suggestions? [21:47] !find cinepaint [21:47] !deluge [21:47] File cinepaint found in fvwm-crystal [21:47] deluge is a Bittorent client, created using Python and GTK+, intended to bring a native, full-featured cliekt to !GTK environments such as GNOME and Xfce. See http://deluge-torrent.org/ for more information or the package 'deluge-torrent' in the package repositories. [21:47] paddyforan, you're looking for something like this: 00:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation nForce2 AC97 Audio Controler (MCP) (rev a1) [21:47] thrillERboy: #ubuntu-offtopic, you're not the only one there. [21:47] Flannel: I'm thankful for any help I can get. Sorry if I was not polite. [21:47] hmm.. didn't cinepaint change name or something? [21:47] hi! any one know a good ressource for linguistic tools on ubuntu ? [21:48] BeatlesFan: mm, as i said, you need a gfx card [21:48] tones: right [21:48] yea thanks, it was misspelled last time [21:48] heres the most recent block of failed attempts [21:48] http://gar.pastebin.com/d22b30eb6 [21:48] mrwes: thanks. I found it. :) [21:48] scunizi: tried looking at the ubuntu studio repos? [21:48] Code-E: I used awn before, and I find Cairo dock to be way more customizable, but hey, awn nice too, I just don't know how to make it look like OSX honestly. [21:48] Slart: not sure.. I'm trying to do some HDR pics.. [21:48] !studio [21:48] UbuntuStudio is a collection of packages for the artist who wishes to use Ubuntu as their Digital Audio Workstation. It contains all the best Audio/Visual components from the Ubuntu repositories. For more info and install instructions, join #ubuntustudio or see http://ubuntustudio.org [21:48] paddyforan, np [21:48] Slart: ok.. I think I have them loaded though already. [21:48] tones: so you shut down, install card, attach monitor to vga port on card and Ubuntu will do the rest? [21:48] carldani: No worries. You weren't not polite, just confusing ;) Anyway, wubi does use GRUB, you just have to (with windows, I believe) edit c:/wubi/boot/grub/menu.lst and comment out (with #) the hiddenmenu option (maybe increase timeout too) [21:48] Can anyone tell me why my 82801H HD Audio Controller stopped working with sound in Jaunty? [21:48] Any idea why my Option iCON 225 HSPDA modem seems slower in Ubuntu than Windows? And why it seems even slower when sharing the connection on a LAN? [21:49] carldani: Thatll show you the grub menu when you're booting to linux [21:49] is there a way to launch the terminal configured as the system default from the command line? [21:49] Flannel: the disk image containing /etc/passwd is mounted read-write. [21:49] BeatlesFan: simple as (hopefully) [21:49] Flannel: oh. neat. I didn't know that. [21:49] paddyforan, you using pulse or alsa? [21:49] Slart, Permission denied, please try again. [21:49] tones: got it [21:49] In Windows, I could set a preference for UMTS. In Ubuntu, I don't even know which protocol the modem is using [21:49] d0t: and when you do that, you don't get a new line in auth.log? [21:50] d0t: you can run "tail -f /var/log/auth.log" to get a "live view" of the file [21:50] mrwes: I was using the default sound system from the upgrade, and it was working fine. Then I installed padevchooser for Flash sounds, because I noticed they weren't playing. and that was working fine. Then it randomly stopped working when I added a monitor, and tried removing pulse and added esound, like ubuntugeek said. [21:50] Slart, I was just gonna tell him that :) [21:50] Slart, the newest thing using cat /var/log/auth.log | grep ssh is from 30 mins ago. [21:50] mrwes: I think I missed something somewhere, though, because I still have pulse options in my sound preferences [21:50] Slart, i'll try tail -f /var/log/auth.log one second please. [21:51] Flannel: If your tip works, I can walk from there. This is my dad's machine and I'm trying to fix his ubuntu install over the phone. [21:51] Just bought a Canon Printer for 32 bucks. says it works with Mac OS X 10.3, so I'm -hoping- it'll work on linux too, time to go test. [21:51] oh :) much better [21:51] Slart, he can use two terminal windows, one to ssh and one for tail -f [21:51] scunizi: nope.. no cinepaint in ubuntu studio either.. wonder why... [21:51] Bob_Dole, canon works extremely well with Macintosh, you shouldn't have problems with linux. [21:51] carldani: Ah. Yeah, then not going through a liveCD is definately a plus.

[21:52] in ssh-keygen which algo should i choose? rsa or dsa? and how big a key should i choose? [21:52] Slart, wtf is that entry? [21:52] name=("unset") ? [21:52] mrwes, no clue heh.. [21:52] mrwes: I have no idea.. never seen it before [21:53] d0t: did you ssh -l username ? [21:53] I want to copy first 100 bytes of a file to another file using bash. Which command should I use? [21:53] mrwes: Yup, still no sound. [21:53] sonne: head [21:53] Slart, me neither [21:53] i did ssh sagishahar.no-ip.org [21:53] I'm trying to install Eclipse via a PPA, but all I can see is the eclipse package in the ubuntu repos. How can I verify that I've correctly configured the PPA? It's the sources.list, apt-get update works fine... [21:53] Slart: Thanks! [21:53] sonne: cat orig_file | head -c 100 | new_file to be more exact [21:54] Slart: I found that too. there is a tar file on their site I'm downloading. Last update was almost a year ago. [21:54] sonne: oops ... cat orig_file | head -c 100 > new_file might work better [21:54] Why is my Display Performances cursing mega lag? i just opened to check settings of my monitor... and its big lag [21:54] sonne: or dd if=firstfile of=secondfile bs=100 count=1 [21:54] sonne: I think that "head -c 100 orig_file > new_file" might work too [21:55] Greetings everyone, I'd love to install tor: but is it possible that a tor package hasn't been built for jaunty yet, or is it just me? [21:55] Slart: Thanks again! === patrick is now known as Guest44087 [21:55] hmmm, someone is trying to break into my system this thime the IP is 82.80.229.70, and the parts of the log showing this activity is at http://gar.pastebin.com/d22b30eb6 [21:55] gartral: err... so? :) [21:55] hehe.. perhaps d0t's ssh traffic is ending up in your machine? ;) [21:56] Slart, that's what i get May 25 22:52:09 basem3nt dbus-daemon: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.35" (uid=1000 pid=3683 comm="/usr/lib/indicator-applet/indicator-applet --oaf-a") interface="org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" member="Get" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination=":1.49" (uid=0 pid=4803 comm="/usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dhcp-client.action ")) [21:56] gartral, so get a firewall going if you're worried someone is [21:56] hacking you [21:56] gartral: welcome to the internet [21:56] something with the dhcp.. hmm.. [21:56] gartral: put the ssh server on a different port.. or block that ip.. actually there are some tools and ssh settings to limit such attacks [21:56] gartral: i just nmapped you. perhaps close the ssh port? [21:56] yeah [21:57] d0t: why would dhcp be involved in your ssh session.. it just doesn't make sense.. [21:57] Slart: it relies on gtk1 and gtk1-dev :( [21:57] running ssh on an "odd" port *is* security through obscurity, but it does prevent about 95% of random attempts [21:57] gartral, you can install Deny Hosts and add some iptables for brute force attacks [21:57] changing sshd port is worthless [21:57] gordonjcp: and those are pretty much 99% of the attacks i get. [21:57] howdy folks [21:57] d0t: now I remember something.. that line might be a apparmor thing.. but I'm still not convinced it has anything to do with your ssh connection failure [21:57] Dr_Willis: same [21:57] sceiron: What exactly are you trying to do? [21:57] Slart, maybe because i'm trying to connect to myself through an external environment ? can you try ssh me... [21:58] sceiron: bah, disregard [21:58] d0t: sure [21:58] gordonjcp: i was watching 1000+ attempts a day on the normal port.. 0 once i changed it.. except for my brother who i told the proper port# [21:58] scunizi: What exactly are you trying to do? [21:58] ? [21:58] What's the Ubuntu equivalent of apt-get install ? [21:58] mrwes: im fairly sure this ip is dynamic... most DSL accounts are [21:58] how do i allow my ntfs partition to be written to when i am not in root? the gui permissions thing doesnt work [21:58] gartral, and I would only use key logins [21:58] binrapt: sudo apt-get install [21:58] Slart, sagishahar.no-ip.org [21:58] binrapt: just that [21:58] Oh, it does use apt-get by default? [21:58] Slart, thank you. [21:58] I had no idea [21:58] That's great [21:58] binrapt: ubuntu is built off debian [21:58] gartral, yes? [21:58] mrwes: already on that page [21:58] Haha I didn't know [21:58] binrapt: all your debian knowledge will work [21:59] Shiny Black Computer, Shiny Black Printer, Shiny Grey Tablet..Dull grey monitor. [21:59] That's great, I use Debian on my dedicated servers [21:59] how would i go about getting to the wireless terminal? [21:59] gartral, add his ip to /etc/hosts.deny [21:59] julc3: on a router you mean? [21:59] if i put "192.168.11.2 foo" line to my /etc/hosts i should be able to connect to it via `ssh foo` right? [22:00] henux: i often do that.. yes [22:00] d0t: no response.. can't ping you either [22:00] Greets, I want to install tor, it shows up in the repositories, but it looks like no package was built for jaunty yet, correct? If so...what are my options? [22:00] henux: but if the machine ever changes ip# - that can cause issues [22:00] mrwes: um no, in ubuntu [22:00] nalys: tor is not in th repos.. you have to add the special TOR repo for it. [22:00] hi everyone === DodgerDog is now known as DodgerDog^BBQ [22:00] d0t: the no-ip domain name is up to date? [22:00] nalys: i researched that in the forums about a week ago.

[22:02] hmm [22:02] NicolasM14: i sure don't [22:02] gordonjcp: Slart cinepaint was dropped after Gutsy because of bug # 190791 (removed from upstream).. but it's still a program used in the industry. [22:02] very odd [22:02] NicolasM14: stat filename doesn't work? [22:02] henux: try pinging by that hostname [22:02] Dr_Willis: 100% packet loss [22:02] Slart, yes.. Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer.. after 3 attempts [22:03] What could be causing my system to get stuck at busybox?

How can I access the advanced settings for the desktop effects? In the appearances settings I can only see 3 levels but not all the details... [22:06] perhaps it's not implemented yet, but I just wanted to know, as these new attributes are a huge argument shown for switching to Ext4...

[22:07] k [22:07] tokyoahead: Sorry, that's the name of the binary if you can't find the menu option though :) [22:08] i'll try that [22:08] mrwes: tracert just dies immediately after leaving my isp.. [22:08] Randomtime: you'll need sudos I think [22:08] after deleted the ext3 filesystem...when i try to create....gparted does not give me NTFS as a option [22:08] d0t: what ISP are you using? [22:08] it is grayed out [22:08] boss_mc: does that stay for ever, or will I have to reconfig every time I boot? [22:08] tolun: I think that's one of the most robust around [22:08] Slart, telkomsa [22:08] Randomtime: it will need repeating each boot, unless you put a script in startup somewhere [22:08] enovativ: then its mounted/in use by somthing. [22:08] ok, thanks :) [22:08] tones, the list i get with netstat -nap is too long [22:08] tokyoahead___: install compizconfig-settings-manager, with "sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager", then you can find it in system >preferences > compizconfig settings manager [22:08] Slart, yah I couldnt trace it either [22:09] Dr_Willis: ok..let me check my file manager [22:09] enovativ: and for the ntfs stuff/features - I think some ntfs config toolsneed to be installed [22:09] tones, how can i check for a specific port ?

[22:10] d0t: i nmapped you, and i can connect to 1050, no idea what that port is fore, apparently it may be "java or filesharing" [22:10] d0t: is there such a daemon running? [22:10] Is there an official Ubuntu 64-bit DVD or just a CD? [22:10] I only have DVDs here so I thought it'd be a waste to put only 700 MiB on it [22:11] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/dvd/current/ <- those? [22:11] binrapt: I think there are some torrents on the ubuntu download site.. I think they are official [22:11] where can I get help connecting my tv set to ubuntu 9.04? [22:11] d0t: it may be your ISP. [22:11] How are the Karmic releases different from normal Ubuntu? [22:11] tones.. i checked the tcp and it gives me that i'm connected to irc [22:11] nd the only problem with adding myself to hosts.allow, is my ISP gives me a new ip every time i link to them [22:11] binrapt: its too early to even be looking at those. :) [22:11] !karmic | binrapt [22:11] binrapt: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [22:12] binrapt: karmic koala is still in beta.. or alpha.. [22:12] Oh ok. [22:12] binrapt, Karmic Koala is the next version of ubuntu, it's using stuff early in development [22:12] Slart: or earlier.. :) [22:12] d0t: probably your irc then. nmap yourself locally, is that port open? [22:12] binrapt: jaunty jackalope is the current one [22:12] I should stick with 9.04 then I suppose [22:12] binrapt: from ubuntu site "Don't be confused, even though DVDs can hold far more data than the typical Ubuntu CD, the main benefit of the DVD downloads is to get access to all of the available language packs. Most people will be fine with the standard CD installer."

[22:12] I just figured I might be able to put some nice packages on it [22:12] Randomtime: it's not finished.. they are experimenting on it [22:12] Slart: i know better then to even toy with them.. :) will cause your dogs hair to fall out [22:12] ok [22:13] Hillshum: My needs is like that "I need to encrypt my USB which is carry now very important files. I want to use my USB on Tux and on micros~1. But I don't want to enter any pass phare.

[22:13] Dr_Willis: oh no.. not the dog.. what has he done.. [22:13] Dr_Willis: the server never receives the connection [22:13] arbiter26: alright, will try, but don't think it will work [22:13] d0t: see if its open? use "nmap -vvPN localhost" and give it a bit o time [22:13] coops: It's worth a shot anyways [22:13] binrapt: u might want to look for non-official dvds, there might be a good one out ther [22:13] arbiter26: do I have to shut down X while doing this?

The adaptop works fine with windows, however it will not mount under ubuntu 8.10 [22:14] System404: check gnome-look.org for gdm themes [22:14] thats one quiet channel [22:14] :D [22:15] d0t: do some detective work, find where that hole is [22:15] anyone know how i can get ping to only print when an ECHO_REPLY is not received? [22:15] i dont want themes i want a logon screen [22:15] System404: those are called 'gdm themes' [22:15] System404: ^ [22:15] oooo kl thanks [22:15] System404: since gdm handles the login...

[22:16] same as what i got, but mine said open not filtered. although i do have to peep through your isp and firewall tools [22:16] System404: Try http://gnome-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=150 [22:16] Dr_Willis: could this have something to do with the fact that i am using gnome's network manager instead of /etc/network/interfaces ? i suppose not [22:16] tones.. how can i continue from there, i have no clue.. :P [22:16] same as what i got, but mine said open not filtered. although i do have to peep through your isp and firewall tools :d0t [22:16] Venom010: most likely Yes.. :) dependingon the details.. You could 'ssh -X remote box' and run pidgin if you want [22:16] g0th: there are some command line pdf utilities [22:16] gordonjcp: nice ... ever use this: http://www.rfxn.com/projects/ or something like it?

[22:16] clock [22:17] d0t: no idea. try ps aux | less, and look for anything with the suffix "d" which looks odd [22:17] Ello peoples, I have this laptop: http://www.toshiba-europe.com/bv/computers/products/notebooks/portege3480/product.htm , It only has 64mb of memory, what's a good distro that'll work for it... has a 20gb HD on it. I'm VERY inexperienced with Linux and know only some simple things.... [22:17] Slart, i want to ping a device and see on screen when it is unresponsive preferably with timestamps [22:17] Venom010, you can, as long you know the server IP/post you want to connect to, depending on the protocol you will use [22:17] I'm having major issues installing Ubuntu Studio, and was led here thanks to there being no one on their support IRC. Can anyone help? Through private chat preferably... [22:17] Flannel: thanks, it worked! [22:17] Im using Ubuntu Netbook Remix, but it doesnt work with the HP Mini 1030's built in speakers [22:17] * carldani hails Flannel [22:17] Slart: I already tried that before (quickly) [22:17] Venom010: sure but you will need a willing server somewhere ... or you could use tor maybe [22:17] henux: whatever one is the default.. i havent done any changes to the networking manager on my home lan. [22:17] Zeph: DSL, Puppy Linux [22:17] Zeph: 64mb might work with xubuntu [22:17] carldani: Glad to hear it [22:17] d0t: im doing a google for you now :) [22:17] there is epstools? [22:17] Dr_Willis: i mean i have the default NetworkManager Applet [22:17] Dr_Willis: the one which comes preinstalled on ubuntu 9.04 [22:17] tones, thank you ;) [22:17] hey slart, u use ssd right?? (dont remember if it was you the guy i talked few days ago) [22:17] any other ideas about the IDE USB situation? [22:18] Dr_Willis: you have this too? [22:18] Dmole: nope [22:18] henux: just using the default stuff. [22:18] Hillshum: Yes I know that but it is very usefull. I saw one USB which has like this encryption. You are not entering any password for login and also you don't need to install any program/tool. I understand that it has another hidden partion for entering password but it is working automatically. [22:18] :) hey I said i was new 2 computers now Im even more confused LOL:'( [22:18] samd: yea, I have a ssd root drive [22:18] zeph: http://www.xubuntu.org/ otherwise http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ or http://tiny.seul.org/en/ [22:18] henux: i just manually edit the hosts file.

[22:19] i mean stable ones [22:19] Cr4zY|0n3: Look into (try out?) evolution-indicator. I displays evolutions "state", although, I'm not sure what thatmeans. Another one would be mail-notification-evolution (the latter is in universe, so its less supported than the former) [22:19] Slart, i finally deciding on buying one myself, it will arrive in a few days, i remember you mentioned some optimizations [22:19] !iw [22:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about iw [22:19] I can tunnel firefox but can get pidgin working [22:19] Venom010: you should spend more time learning things.. then worrying about locking down pidgin - which is proberly not that big a secuity risk in the first place. [22:19] hi folks, i'm having a bit of trouble updgrading to jaunty and i'm wondering if i could get an expert to either guide me through or help file a bug report? [22:19] xubuntu needs 128 [22:19] Flannel will check it out thanks [22:19] Axz, fglrx is fast but unstable, radeon is stable but slow... [22:19] I need help shifting my screen right a few pixels. I have (finally) gotten a good resolution for my ubuntu box to display to my sony hdtv. but the screen seems shifted left ~50 pixels. Is there a way to move myself over a bit? [22:19] Teundusia: What do you need help with? [22:19] frozen_vegan: What sort of problems are you having? [22:19] samd: mmm.. search for "linux ssd optimization".. there are a couple of things you can do.. pretty easy stuff if I remember correctly [22:19] its difficult 2 no where 2 start [22:19] tones, sagi 3287 0.0 1.0 23952 10888 ?

[22:20] Sylphid: try something like this instead ping -c 2 100.100.100.100 &> /dev/null || date [22:20] Randomtime: k, do you have experience installing Xubuntu? I'm bout to burn a copy, just downloaded that. [22:20] djtansey try changing the refresh rate [22:20] tones, maybe that ? === sale_ is now known as sale [22:20] d0t: i meant like "inetd" or "ftpd" or "httpd"..

It says something along the lines of "unable to mount the disc image" and nothing I do appears to change that [22:20] Dr_Willis: ah i think i found the problem. `hostname --fqdn` on my server returns just localhost.localdomain [22:20] what do you guys think about the Geforce 5500 256MB AGP card? [22:20] d0t: most sites say its a virus [22:20] arbiter26: i've set Acquire::http::Dl-Limit to 65 in my apt config and when i start an update, i get an "E: Method http has died unexpectedly!" error after about 2 mins.

[22:20] coops: Sorry, that's not my area of expertise [22:20] Slart: ight , let me see what i can find, thanks [22:20] Zeph: it should run from a live CD, and you should follow the instuructions, however it says that it needs 128mb, so it might not work, if not i'd go with tiny or dsl [22:20] Teundusia: which installer did you download? [22:21] boss_mc, whats best solution then?i cant let me PC stay on 24/7 [22:21] henux: Hmmm thats odd. :) [22:21] samd: you're welcome [22:21] Hillshum: Maybe, But it is not so easy.

[22:23] frozen_vegan: I'm afraid that I don't know a lot about that. Try increasing the number until the download works [22:23] Axz: the card doesn't even notice...

[22:23] Oke thanks for info [22:23] tyvek: It's probably a good idea to try to use dd or ddrescue to copy the data to a working system first. [22:24] Dr_Willis: yeah, but when you turn on the screen they all flash past really fast until your at live time, like a tivo [22:24] but what's to keep it from only doing that for you? [22:24] Dr_Willis: ;-) [22:24] how do i add a splash screen to grub [22:24] arbiter26: i started with it at 500 and have been reducing it steadily all day. it seems like just having that value set kills http after a couple of minutes. [22:24] Flannel will it be possible to give me more information about evolution-indicator i have searched on google, and im not the smartest person around, sorry to be a pain. Even if there is another email client i could use that would be able to enable it to be within the notification section of my panel would be great [22:24] ryanprior: yeah, i've taken care of this, and i am just trying to recover a few system files - all the user data is already backed up. i am just curious, tho, what packages were installed so i can reinstall more quickly [22:24] tones, i'll paste the result in pastebin do you mind checking it ? [22:24] !splash [22:24] To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. [22:24] bah.. wrong one [22:24] Cr4zY|0n3: do you connect to your email through a secured connection? [22:24] System404: http://www.google.com/search?q=add+splash+screen+to+grub looks pretty promising [22:24] frozen_vegan: I'm sorry, but I don't have any more ideas [22:24] Hillshum: this system work automatically and you don't need to enter anything or need any external tool(s) [22:24] System404: that's complicated, wait, I'll give you the link [22:24] hi all. is it normal for a core 2 duo 2ghz to flip at 70% when i watch you tube or vimeo video?

[22:25] so if no adobe flash what? [22:25] Does anyone knows hidden partion encryption ? [22:25] tolun: but then it won't know when to let folks get at the data and when not? [22:25] boss_mc checking it out right now, thanks [22:26] Teundusia: Hmm. Alright, did you verify the MD5 of the file you downloaded? And when does it give you the mount error? [22:26] adi1: You can use Gnash, but it doesn't run the majority of flash apps. Notably, it does YouTube okay. [22:26] Cr4zY|0n3: it checks for mail but is not a reader, it just shows you mail is waiting and lets you get the mail yourself with evolution/thunderbird/etc [22:26] Flannel no problem, thanks for your time :) [22:26] !usplash | System404 [22:26] System404: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [22:26] slart | what do you use to playback flash video [22:26] python does not work correctly,it gives a error in a valid statement(colon before if block starts) [22:26] boss_mc ok thanks, looking for it on google for more information [22:27] freeburn: check your indentation [22:27] Flannel: I have no clue what an MD5 is, and the strange thing is before and after trying to install Ubuntu Studio, I've had no problem downloading and burning standard Ubuntu and Windows XP discs. I get the error after putting in my keyboard layout. Third option out of all the ones the installing part of the installer gives I believe [22:27] adi1: in the browser I use Adobes flashplayer, 64bit.. I don't really play flash movies locally but I guess vlc might do it [22:27] Hi, does anyone know how to extract the "X509v3 Subject Key Identifier" without parsing `openssl pkcs7 -print_certs -text` [22:27] Hillshum: Yes you have right. It is really too much interresting. If you try to open files they are working fine but if you try to copy it then files copied to outside as encrypted.

Try the "Verify Disc Integrity" option at the boot menu. Alternatively, you know you can easily move a regular Ubuntu install to Ubuntu Studio, right? That is something we can do if we can't get this to work. [22:28] Code-E: system, preferences, appearance.. select another theme [22:28] what does that do SLART [22:28] freeburn: if you must...

[22:32] boss_mc: that's because i ask to some user with what i said before, to call me in private [22:33] Teundusia: Which tutorial? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/UpgradingFromHardy should work. They don't seem to have an updated one, but that should still be accurate for Jaunty [22:33] d0t: ok, ill nmap you again [22:33] i did iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 1050 -i eth0 -j DROP [22:33] jirib: You'd use /etc/apt_preferences [22:33] Gnome_Danny: what's the problem?

[22:44] !root | ju1c3 [22:44] ju1c3: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [22:44] ju1c3: or just install the stuff for the user you want to access the things.. [22:44] ju1c3: gksudo nautilus.. but be careful with that window [22:44] ju1c3: proberly BEST to just install special things like that on a 'per user' basis - not system wide [22:45] Slart: thanks dude [22:45] Does anyone know how I might redirect all audio output on my ubuntu laptop to my ubuntu media server?

[22:45] any idea how I can get my S-Video out connection going using the open source drivers for my ATI x1950 Pro? [22:45] ju1c3: but I agree with Dr_Willis, you should install user stuff in a user location.. ~ or such [22:46] FYI, arbiter26 and room: it looks like setting Acquire::http::Pipeline-Depth to 0 (zero) is fixing the problem. thanks, folks.. [22:46] Bart_: ive had to tweak a few hal files to get some things going.. but not much.. ive only had to do it for some memory thing for touchpads. [22:46] Isopropane_: open up configuration editor (somewhere in menu, like applications > system tools), then navigate to what I indicated [22:46] Isopropane_: or do alt-F2 and type gconf, it will show up [22:47] Slart: i understand thuroughly i just needed that command. thanks a bunch [22:47] d0t: sorry, relay your last few messages, i accidentally detatched my "screen [22:47] " [22:47] luichi: before you dropped off, i was trying to say the newer ipods use some sort of hashing when writing their database which makes it difficult/impossible for anything but itunes to write it.

But when i i am using direct internet connection and having changes the netowrk proxy to direct interent connection, APT-GET still searches though proxy hence unable to fetch any thing. I fixed [22:48] it by manually removing the proxy addres in /etc/apt/apt.conf [22:48] is rsync the best option to makes copies of and ubuntu server to a NAS? [22:48] ju1c3: ok.. just be CAREFULL... :P [22:49] d0t: try with the -PN option [22:49] VCoolio1: Doing the thing with Alt+F2, it says it cannot find the folder [22:49] Dr_Willis: always [22:49] :P [22:49] ju1c3: no worries.. tyops are fun, that's all =) [22:49] Why doesnt it again checked and updated its config file, even though i restarted it [22:49] Rafael_: playting with duplicity myself [22:49] i added the Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" to my xorg.conf to get title bars with compiz, but still doesn't work. any ideas?

[22:55] Radeon support is in the toilet [22:55] only 2 ports open 631 and 22 [22:55] is there a way to set a md device to clean (from active)? I've tried mdadm --assemble --assume-clean but only 4 of 6 devices are found - examine shows 2 devices as state=active [22:55] It's weird 'cause my volume control buttons work fine. [22:55] tarvid: so I can forget getting any Radeon card to work in ubuntu? great.......... [22:56] d0t: thats just odd. can anyone else confirm that port 1050 is Open on d0t's ip? [22:56] No radeon works [22:56] tones: I get that port as open too [22:56] i guess I'll have to switch to windows vista then, where stuff works.. [22:56] I am using Jaunty on a radeon on board right now [22:56] same, but TV out wont work [22:56] Slart: thanks, i cant think what it could be [22:57] I've used Hardy, Intrepid & Jaunty with Radeon - I didn't have to do anything - it just worked [22:57] coops :) [22:57] it doesn't detect whatever you put into tv out [22:57] tones: isp proxy stuff? I think I read somewhere that 1050 is used as a heartbeat port for some routers [22:57] hey all [22:57] d0t: yes? [22:58] Slart: but a minute ago, he detected it open from a loop, so it must be his system.. [22:58] and you can't see what is inside the xorg.conf anymore, but I'm still forced to hack it since the gui tool is handicapped [22:58] coops, you weren't able to connect on 1050 were you ? [22:58] Why does Samba only let me use passphrases of out 8 characters? I want to secure my Samba storage and increase my passphrase size to about 20.

[23:00] Jampiter, maybe if you ask the same questions 10 more times in a row you will get an answer [23:00] coop: look into XrandR [23:00] ive got a friend using ubuntu.... why is it that it can detect and set the correct resolution for the monitor in the livecd ... but once its installed it cant? [23:00] Does anyone know what package I need to install: "error: openssl/cms.h: No such file or directory" [23:00] anyway.. nothing has changed.. i still cant connect through ssh to my computer..

My wife's flash playback stutters every few seconds when watching videos through firefox (cpu goes high as well). She has an Nvidia 260 GTX, 2gb ram, and Athlon 64 X2 4400, on Jaunty.

[23:01] enosis: i have same issue [23:01] hi [23:01] Jampiter: do you have cairo-dock 2? that worked out of the box for me; on Intrepid with 1.x I had to enable rendr plugin and all kinds of stuff in the prefs to get the 3d, don't remember exactly [23:01] with intel video card [23:01] d0t: what does this command tell you "sudo lsof -i :1050" ?

[23:02] tones: hehe.. the firewall in linux.. just setting it to drop packets on a specific port would be a one liner in a terminal.. [23:02] flash in windows for me is great no issues but in ubuntu not so good [23:02] i've been noticing a lot of performance issues in Ubuntu when using Firefox. Both on 8.10\9.04 w/ or w/o nVidia drivers installed. [23:02] TFM doesnt even cover it!! [23:02] and just couldn't install unichrome driver from via.

FLash is slowwwww, so I use the Windows Version of FireFox and FLASH under WINE. works great [23:02] Slart: aah. ill remember that ;) [23:03] mmibb, that's understandable, but still you need to chill a bit :) [23:03] Do i use an .iso file the same way i would use an .img? [23:03] System404: youre right, wine is here really the way to go [23:03] aargh [23:03] Zephaniah: yes [23:03] I'm trying to figure out how to get libpng2, xlibomesa3 and xlibs installed in jaunty.

[23:03] binrapt, i had the same problem. i had NM disabled, enabled it and all was working again. but first check your /etc/resolv.conf, it should have the ip of your nameserver [23:03] Raex93: yes.. most of the time they are the same thing [23:03] yes @ Raex93, should be just fine for burning/etc.. [23:04] Slart, sudo lsof -i :1050 tells me nothing.. [23:04] theshadow: you want to play commercial dvds? [23:04] How about for using it for a USB boot/install? [23:04] I've tried two wireless network cards and i've reinstalled ubuntu 9.04 but my wireless card won't scan the green LED is on in the back but when I use iwlist scan it says wlan1 no results [23:04] kindofabuzz: Curious, when I use nslookup it looks it up correctly [23:04] i mean linux is supposed to be so much better than windows surely we shouldnt be having silly little issues like these [23:04] NM = ? [23:04] d0t: then you don't have anything listening on that port.. [23:04] System404, I'd rather it be solved too. But you'd have to talk to adobe, me thinks. [23:04] lol @ Bob_Dole [23:04] it was working like a week ago but then stopped working . Once i booted up in a live CD yesterday and it worked but when i restarted it won't work anymore ... [23:04] d0t, Slart: yet i can still connect to it, and he detected it a while ago with nmap [23:04] MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA nForce 750a SLI ATX AMD Motherboard..................i am confused if it has integrated video card? [23:04] network-manager finds my card but it just won't show any networks in the area [23:05] Flash is closed, adobe has complete control over it, so you have to talk to them, and I doubt they care very much. [23:05] d0t: do see the port as open when you run nmap on yourself? [23:05] tones.. well enjoy going there :D [23:05] heres a question for all you ubuntu linux boffins what i would like to do is if its possible to add an entry into grub that will take me into windows seven in safe mode purely for easy of access so as grub look like ubuntu then ubuntu recovery then windows 7 then windows 7 safe mode would that be possible [23:05] mcnellis: what card is it? [23:05] to me and to the rest of the world it's closed heh.. :) [23:05] whener i download a package with apt cpu usage hits %100 [23:05] Hi, when I click on "Guest session" my monitor goes black, then turns off due to no input. I then have to hard reset my computer. It appears the computer is still working, but I don't know how to do a proper shutdown without a monitor or output of any kind. Any ideas? [23:05] System404: "better" is subjective. What you need to do is figure out if you can pass Windows command line options to automatically start it in "Safe Mode" or what not. Then figure out how to add that info to a grub entry, viola! Done. [23:05] d0t: hehem [23:05] *hehe [23:05] :D [23:05] Slart, nope it says only 22 and 631 are open [23:05] this is a very specific question that does not, at all, bring the argument of "better" anywhere near the table. [23:06] harpreet_, [23:06] ok screw you vlc [23:06] d0t: well, looks like this port is all mine :P [23:06] This one is a Netgear. lspci says "Atheros Communications Inc. Atheros AR5001X+ Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) [23:06] iamtechno: ? [23:06] altf2o: how would one go about all of that lol [23:06] d0t: then it's probably something else between us and you [23:06] System404: http://www.google.com/ [23:06] my last one was a Realtek Semiconductor Co. but it was from linksys [23:06] ive tried google [23:06] Helo. I'm on a Pentium 3. For some reason, Firefox and all the windows move and scroll very slowly. I know this machine is a bit old, but I think that there might be a problem with the graphic card (maybe it wasn0t configured properly?) What can I do to fix this? [23:06] nuffin seems to cover it [23:06] harpreet_, Does it have a VGA or DVI output on the case that is not a ded video card? Sorry bout that last one. [23:06] both cards are having the same problem on a new installation - it shows the wirless bars but they're empty and there's a small red x in the top left corner of the icon [23:07] dont think anyone has eva wanted to do it before hahahaha [23:07] I seem to be missing some features in Cairo-dock, like the ability to have the 3D effect dock and other views.. how do I get these? [23:07] I got an Atheros chip....when I have it enabled it locks my system up after a few hours. :/ [23:07] iamtechno: DVI [23:07] "booting windows in safe mode" perhaps? "how to boot windows in safe mode from command line", "automatically boot windows in safe mode" etc... "adding grub entries" "passing arguments in grub" etc...etc... [23:07] oh.. well.. [23:07] and i'm sure they have, both the Windows dev team, and general community are much smarter than that. [23:07] Does anybody know? [23:07] harpreet_, Sound like you do have an integrated vid card [23:07] System404: not possible, windows has to be chainloaded through ntldr [23:07] lots of talk of windows today :) [23:08] and there's your answer. [23:08] http.distrib is always using %100 cpu when downloading packages. does anybody know what might be the cause? [23:08] howd u mean tones surely if i can boot windows from grub i can boot windows in safe mode via grub surely [23:08] sumhow [23:08] sumway [23:08] iamtechno: i am looking for a motherboard that does not have on board video card and will work with linux [23:08] mclur3: my first guess would be something like 'rm -rf $(ls * | grep -v SAVETHISFILE)', but I'd still ask over in #sh first [23:08] System404, you don't boot windows in grub. You boot the windows bootloader from grub, which them boots windows [23:08] Can anyone tell me how to make a USB image of ubuntu 8.10 .iso? [23:09] System404: unless you want to get down and dirty in some really big assembly code and create a memory hack, no chance [23:09] PM me please if you are willing to help out an idiot like me. Hahaha. [23:09] Raex93, boot from ubuntu 8.10 live cd. there is an option under system menu [23:09] iamtechno: here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowImage.aspx?CurImage=13-130-161-02.jpg&Image=13-130-161-02.jpg%2c13-130-161-03.jpg%2c13-130-161-04.jpg%2c13-130-161-05.jpg%2c13-130-161-06.jpg&S7ImageFlag=0&WaterMark=1&Item=N82E16813130161&Depa=0&Description=MSI%20K9N2%20SLI%20Platinum%20ATX%20AMD%20Motherboard [23:09] raex, there should be an option under administration to create a usb startup disk [23:09] !PM ! Raex93 [23:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about PM ! Raex93 [23:09] System404: can you really boot windows using grub? or can you just run the windows boot loader and that then boots windows? I'm not sure which it is [23:09] HAHAHAHAHAHA, Windows 7 RC download needs to be downloaded by a download manager.. why not just make a .torrent s#&*heads [23:09] harpet are there some commands i can run to scan or something? I mean other than iwlist scan .. its like the card is ready just set off or something ... [23:10] Oh, silly. It's just some configuration failure. /etc/resolv.conf contains an IP I never specified. "Generated by NetworkManager" [23:10] Slart, Grub can't boot windows. Grub can only boot the windows boot loader. [23:10] harpreet_, ok. I have a MSI K9A2 Platinium and it works just fine [23:10] I get "wlan1: link is not ready" in dmesg [23:10] and linux* [23:10] WIGGMPk++ [23:10] Slart u know wat i mean wat im tryin to say is surely theres a way to add an option to grub that will let me boot into windows in safe mode [23:10] Slart: what bob dole said, go bob dole! [23:10] I do not quite understand which program I supposed to use to edit /etc/resolv.conf, apparently it gets overwritten by some application [23:10] ElectricHeavyLan: ? [23:10] iamtechno: i want a motherboard on which i can install nvidio geforce 9500 videocard [23:11] System404, you have to press f8 during windows bootloader i think. [23:11] i know how to access safe mode i want to access safe mode via grub though [23:11] System404: grub cant pass parameters, cause its literally just passing all control to ntldr. even if it could, the parameters would be longer than here to the moon [23:11] System404, i don't think you can. [23:11] System404: not necessarily.. if grub can only hand off to the windows bootloader (which probably is whiny and just a little bit stupid).. then it's quite possible that there isn't a way to decide from grub what kind of boot it will be [23:11] hang on though [23:12] hi [23:12] Hello all, how can I setup my ubuntu computer to connect to a wireless network before anyone logs on? [23:12] could you have more than one Windows bootloader? [23:12] Hey guys, Another question. I have mac4lin installed and I know because of legal issues that they did not include the apple logo on the Applications tab on the top panel, and one know how to change the gnome foot to an apple logo? [23:12] Bob_Dole: thanks for the info =) [23:12] anyone here with a hp w2448hc monitor connected via hdmi? i cant make my main display the ext monitor and use audio over hdmi [23:12] Hello, http.distrib is always using %100 cpu when downloading packages. does anybody know what might be the cause? [23:12] windows boot loader a little bit stupid haha thats an understatement big windows supposedly best os in the world its dumbass bootloader cant even handle dual boots tu microsoft sicken me [23:13] System404: amen [23:13] well... im off, night all [23:13] System404: apparently the Windows bootloader *can* do multiple OSes [23:14] System404, WIndows Bootloader support more than 1 OS. 9x series of Windows..and NT series of Windows. but nothing else. [23:14] Can someone explain to my why youtube videos play flawlessy in Movie Player, but are jittery/jumpy in my browser? Flash is flash, so I would think good performance in one would be the same in another app [23:14] System404: I think the boot loader can do dual boots.. it's the installer that is a bit nasty [23:14] as per windows supports windows and nuffin else [23:14] burvowski, is your video card an intel? [23:14] usuall [23:14] burvowski, Because Flash on linux sucks [23:14] how can I follow the configuration instructions in this guide in ubuntu http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/RGB_Scart when ubuntu has some weird xorg.conf that it doesn't even appear to use [23:14] tones, do you mind sshing me again.. i think i comfigured my router correctly [23:14] comfigured=configured. [23:14] burvowski, If you used the windows versions of your browser and flash under WINE it'd run great. Complain to adobe [23:15] Gnome_Danny: check this, the description contains a howto that will work for you: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=42926 [23:15] Bob_Dole: Those ignorant people, they go for the name brands first when linux is the future [23:15] Slart, can you please ssh me.. [23:15] heres one for you that i dont like about linux in windows i can get a transformation pack that will take care of themes logons boot screens icons all in one app why in linux do we have to do it all seperatly [23:15] When I install something it takes like 30 seconds or for it to "Reading database..." do I need to clear out a cache or something? [23:15] Where are the X settings stored on ubuntu 9.04? I looked at my /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but it is empty... I need to adjust a few thing to get rid of overscan on my tv [23:15] VCoolio1: Alright Thanks! [23:15] jimqode yes [23:16] d0t: same as before.. no response.. just dies [23:16] So when mplayer loads a youtube video, is it not using Flash or something? [23:16] * Bob_Dole has a 2.8ghz Core 2 Duo clocked @ 3.2ghz, 4GB of PC6400 DDR2 RAM, and a ATI Radeon HD 3850. Flash runs like crap, unless using the Windows versions. [23:16] burvowski, there is a bug related to that. let me find that for you [23:16] burvowski: I think it's using some codec of it's own.. it doesn't use the adobe flash plugin [23:16] Where does the Ubuntu Network Connections manager even store the DNS data? It is not properly set in /etc/resolv.conf and all lookups fail because it uses an IP I never specified. [23:16] hmm.. is there a built-in firewall in ubuntu ?? [23:16] wow what a cesspool channel [23:17] vindex: shhhhhhh [23:17] !ufw [23:17] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [23:17] burvowski: afaik it can't play flash applets.. it can decode flash movies though.. same as the flash plugin can do [23:17] !firewall | d0t [23:17] d0t: please see above [23:17] d0t: install gufw and block port 1050 -- be done with it. [23:17] d0t: ufw - it is REALLY easy to set up [23:17] I don't run windows, just various bits of software for it :/ [23:17] Ah oh well, I'll just live with it. When I need to watch a youtube video, I'll just copy and paste the the youtube video name into mplayer search. Is there anyway to get mplayer to play Hulu vids? That would solve all my problems [23:17] alright thank you. [23:18] burvowski, you may be affected by this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/370552 [23:18] burvowski, you can set the preferred apps in firefox [23:18] burvowski: hulu seems to be a big problem for many linux users.. haven't tried it myself [23:18] burvowski, there is a workaround there somewhere [23:18] burvowski: try googling get_iplayer i think that does hulu [23:18] jimqode thanks for the link, i'll read up on it [23:18] There are 15 computers on this plot of land. 2 run windows, 2 run OS X. [23:19] One of those running OS X.. I'm pondering moving it over to Ubuntu, too. [23:19] sudo apt-get remove network-manager network-manager-gnome === funkyHat is now known as fun__yH__ [23:20] Hello, Is there a way to virtualize osx on ubuntu? [23:20] jimqode: virtualbox ? [23:20] Ahh what Am i kidding, Linux is not mac, I am unistalling this mac theme [23:20] linny, does virtualbox run osx as guest? === fun__yH__ is now known as oun__yH__ [23:20] jimqode: yes [23:21] jimqode: sure cant see any reason why not but ive never tried === oun__yH__ is now known as _un__yH__ [23:21] seriously, why is my xorg.conf empty? [23:21] jimqode, no, osx doesnt run in virtualbox [23:21] PearPC runs OS X just fine. well, 10.3, not sure about 10.4 and up [23:21] !who | Bob_Dole [23:21] PearPC has had all development stop, and only emulates PowerPC.

[23:35] no power pc [23:35] hmm, no idea then [23:35] ok === elementz_ is now known as elementz [23:36] Dirien, I use ALSA for everything is there a reason why you pick OSS? [23:36] anybody has experience with unison or Synkron [23:36] skyl, i don't know apparently there's no respond to clients when people want to connect as well as a problem when i want to connect it says access denied after the password sequence [23:36] G5 is powerpc..why do people think it's intel????? [23:36] response.. [23:36] The "g" is Generation of the PowerPC chip, not the machine [23:36] God I've finally determined that it must be Ubuntu and not me. Why the hell is it when I right-click something completely RANDOM happens? [23:37] d0t: looks ok to me with only keyfile-login allowed. I'd disable root-login though. the ssh_conf is for client side configuration only, nothing to do with the server. [23:37] VCoolio1: should it change immediately when i change the gconf value or do i need to logout? [23:37] превед [23:37] eseven73, i dont want to use OSS, its just the only sound server that works directly after login. ALSA will work, but i am forced to run ' [23:37] sudo alsa force-reload' before it will play anything [23:37] Counterspell, On firefox that happens no matter the OS it's running from [23:37] how do i execute a program in the terminal without getting listed all the actions of the program, so that i can type other commands [23:37] henux: try "killall gnome-panel" in terminal, panel will die and show up again, should be enough [23:37] Counterspell, for me anyways, after it's been running a long time [23:37] Bob_Dole: I see. It's driving me bat shit crazy. [23:37] kkdkjff & [23:38] Dirien, ah,,,interesting, I just set everything to ALSA and "it just works" using Intel onboard sound [23:38] Ampelbein, so why can't i connect to myself without using localhost but using my ip instead ? maybe i need to regenerate keys ? [23:38] is there a way ro reset or refresh a pci device [23:38] Counterspell, Yeah, it'll do that.. I hate having to click something 20 times and undo various things. [23:38] kkdkjff: you can use ' &' to continue using the shell. if you want to redirect output so that it won't be looged: 2>&1 > /dev/null [23:39] such as blocking images....opening a new window..just going to it, when I wanted a new tab, etc. [23:39] why is my dvorak layout only accepted when typing, not when I want real stuff like ctrl + c? === popu is now known as rxsa [23:40] d0t: what's the result of 'netstat -l' ?
