[00:00] jack_sparrow- okay thanks. i'll check out the crunchbang irc to see what's up [00:00] zhurai: i believe you'll have to mess with /etc/apt/preferences [00:00] raylu: to make it work I installed this sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-jaunty, because before it was showing me everything at 16% of strength [00:00] catsup138, good luck with your issue, though :-) [00:00] mrwes: They seem pretty straight forward. It has the original location and the date and time it was removed [00:00] catsup138 If you are using some other release...all bets are off [00:00] raylu: apt-pinning?...which after reading about it still confused me >_> [00:00] and that fix that and let me connect to the ap but I have no internet with it [00:00] bernz- sorry about that. just when i have linux problems i usually hit up the ubuntu forums and ubuntu resources so figured i'd try out the ubuntu irc first [00:00] ScottG, sure [00:00] ray_seattle: Can you pastebin the new menu.lst ? [00:00] Bonstra: I see the new kernels, but what about those other default options like menu time and stuff like that ? [00:01] hold on === Smav is now known as RoosterJuice [00:01] ScottG, there's plenty of examples on the internet [00:01] Kalmi_ Also, "user config file. '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'", "Module 'ddc' already built-in'" [00:01] btw for future reference is eeebuntu a supported distro? [00:01] mrwes: There is a libtrash too but i think I will just mess around with this for now [00:01] !eee [00:01] Information about installing Ubuntu on an Asus EeePC can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC [00:01] !eee [00:01] Bonstra: see http://paste.ubuntu.com/181606/ [00:01] raylu: what do you think? [00:01] catsup138, no worries [00:01] !eee [00:02] Anonymust, sorry... I have no idea how to fix X on zenwalk... [00:02] can ubuntu be hacked or not? [00:02] Kalmi_, is yours running??? [00:02] UntouchableMX: ping 74.125.45.100 [00:02] Anonymust, yes... [00:02] 'please [00:02] ray_seattle: The options commented with only one # (the automagic ones) are used by update-grub to add kernel commandline arguments automatically. [00:02] java911: proabaly [00:02] java911: hacked, or cracked/ [00:02] ? [00:02] java911 yes, but extremely unlikely [00:02] i am server spanish [00:02] Anonymust, but I messed the root password.... and I'm now reinstalling :D [00:02] Kalmi_, with a GUI and everything??? [00:03] I gotta restart, but it was only answering pings from my ip and localhost [00:03] hacked through the network [00:03] I see [00:03] !es | luis_ [00:03] luis_: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [00:03] Kalmi_ -_- [00:03] ray_seattle: They must not be erased. [00:03] Anonymust, yes I got to the gui login screen [00:03] for those dealing with GRUB stuff (menu.lst), etc... feel free to msg me very specific questions; i just went through some GRUB hell a few days ago, and i might be able to save you some time with some answers :-) [00:03] java911: when you say "hacked" do you actually mean "cracked"? [00:03] Bonstra: I thought they were comments [00:03] thanks [00:03] Alright, I'm out to lunch. I'll be back once it's reinstalled...dklfjldkj [00:03] not cracked [00:03] ;) [00:03] java911: your question is strange becuase if any of us knew a way to gain unauthorized access to an ubuntu machine, there'd probably be a patch out for it by now [00:03] ray_seattle: update-grub can interpret them [00:03] Bonstra: still that error resulting from fstab [00:04] cool [00:04] thx [00:04] java911: then yes, Ubuntu is an excellent OS for hacking on [00:04] ray_seattle: but your new menu.lst looks just fine. [00:04] java911: it's practically impossible to crack though [00:04] :-D [00:04] Bonstra, cool [00:04] java911: pretty much like any competent Unix-y OS [00:04] java911: if it is managed by you, it will be cracked [00:04] ray_seattle: you know, it says in all caps, and i quote, "DO NOT UNCOMMENT THEM" [00:05] Bonstra: I won't uncomment them, [00:05] raylu: for pinning, I am readding proposed, so it wouldn't think those packages are "local/obsolete" [00:05] zhurai: try reinstalling one of the packages through apt [00:05] or is there a way to install aircrack drivers, because I have had used wifislax to hack wireless networks with this card [00:05] java911, think about this: have you ever filled out a government form where you had little boxes to fill, and a limited number? what happens when you write beyond the boxes? this is how a hacker thinks.. not to "break in" (alone), but "what happens if i do this thing that seems i might not be able to do" ;-) [00:05] zhurai Be very careful with the proposed repo.. it can mess youi up in a hurry. Please have a good working backup [00:06] ray_seattle: I cannot be sure this will work, so be prepared to boot on an rescue disk. [00:06] i have a quick question i just installed ubuntu 8.04.2 server edition onto my server and i was wondering how i allow incoming ssh connections through putty? [00:06] Jack_Sparrow: way too late. [00:06] java911, the "break-in" part of hacking is only a small subset of all hacking, and the the most successful break-ins can't be proven, because they leave no evidence [00:06] Bonstra: got a boot cd in the cd-rom drive ready, just incase [00:07] java911, anyway, this is not #ubuntu-offtopic; i apologize for blathering, all :-) [00:07] ray_seattle, so reboot and cross your fingers. [00:07] mufasis: puty is an ssh client for windows, and not an ssh server. You want to ssh from the linux server into the windows machine? [00:07] no ssh from windows onto server [00:07] Bonstra: what about that fstab error from the update command ? [00:07] mufasis, putty is more of a client and tool for windows; you will need to set up an ssh server/daemon, and then create keys for it to your windows box (putty can help you make the keys) [00:08] findfs: Unable to resolve 'UUID=40afac1d-37d1-4022-920a-5887374cfa4d' [00:08] raylu: reinstall... after I apt-pin? [00:08] mufasis, best to start reading at the putty homesite; all the explanations are there [00:08] zhurai: before [00:08] how do i kill all notification areas on my desktop? [00:08] mufasis: OK. It was the phrasing then of your question which was confusing. You just install on the server the package openssh-server and then putty can connect [00:08] raylu: I already added -proposed though....uh =_= [00:08] bernz: password authentication by default in openssh-server [00:08] ok ty [00:08] should I take it off again? [00:08] I just created a bridge with a configuration in /etc/networking/interfaces. Now I changed the configuration, and I did service networking restart but tit says that br0 already is configured. How can I remove this bridge? [00:08] raylu, ahh, even simpler, excellent :-) [00:08] zhurai: i'm really not sure :P [00:09] gartral: notification area is applet on gnome-panel, so either killall gnome-panel or rightclick the notification area and delete from panel [00:09] phoenixz: try ifdown br0 [00:09] ray_seattle: I don't see why this error is still reported. Try update-grub again and see if it stills report it. [00:09] anyone know of a relatively easy to use sound converter? im wanting to convert some flac files over to mp3 so that i can use them on my mp3 player [00:09] !lame | letalis [00:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about lame [00:09] Bonstra: error still there [00:09] o.0 [00:09] !info lame [00:09] raylu: says br0 nont configured.. it only exists in the /etc/networking/interfaces file [00:09] lame (source: lame): LAME Ain't an MP3 Encoder. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 3.98-0.0 (jaunty), package size 213 kB, installed size 596 kB [00:10] phoenixz: wait, i thought you wanted the bridge gone [00:10] thanks raylu [00:10] hi [00:10] i shouldve known that ive used it before LOL [00:10] letalis: it's popular :D [00:10] raylu: yes, I want it gone :) [00:10] "Reinstallation of compiz is not possible, it cannot be downloaded." <-- after taking off -proposed >_> [00:11] phoenixz: ok... well it's gone now. take it out of interfaces [00:11] assuming cause it's now labeled as "local/obsolete" [00:11] raylu: ifconfig still shows it... [00:11] VCoolio: not so, i have it loaded to avant window navigator [00:11] thanks [00:11] its been a while though. but yeah duh. i feel dumb now. [00:11] later [00:11] .quit [00:11] :P [00:11] zhurai: heh... well... i'd reinstall unless you're interested in finding out how this works [00:11] gartral: ah, don't know then, don't use awn [00:12] bernz; I'll think............. [00:12] phoenixz: o.0 [00:12] raylu: latter one >_> [00:12] ray_seattle: try "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" [00:12] raylu: if I was going to reinstall, I would have after I screwed up /etc/group (which I fixed >_>) [00:13] ray_seattle, Bonstra: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid [00:13] zhurai: impressive... sort of [00:13] >_> [00:13] is 8.10 ubuntu good for laptops [00:13] raylu: whah? [00:13] Hi there! Using squid_ldap_auth in command line works fine, but when using it in squid.conf I can't auth... someone could help me out ? [00:13] raylu, ray_seattle: I already have this in a previous pastebin. The UUID really doesn't exist. [00:13] Bonstra: see http://paste.ubuntu.com/181608/ [00:13] phoenixz: no idea, sorry. i'd try commenting it out in interfaces, i guess [00:14] Bonstra: ... [00:14] Bonstra: well... [00:14] Bonstra: isn't that the problem, then...? [00:14] i figured it out, needed to *truly* reload the notificatio area (PyNot) [00:14] bernz: be my teacher) [00:14] can anyone tell me please ? I have a ubuntu desktop and my computer came with vl$ta licensed, so what I want to do is format HD and put vi$t@ only in vbox. But there is a problem, it doesn't recognize the network interface from vbox .... any sugestions ?. [00:15] this way I gain HD space [00:15] give me that ass yo [00:15] caodagua: how does this gain you hd space? [00:15] 1461 O_o [00:16] raylu: Yes, but the menu.lst entries are all ok. [00:16] because it's my normal vl§t@ instalation has a hiden partition and the system is full of crap [00:16] my diisplay while install is messed up i guess ubuntu 8.10 does not have the drivers yet for the lap top screen [00:16] caodagua, are you saying that you have VirtualBox booting your original install HD Vista? If so HOW? [00:16] Bonstra: hmmmmm, I am thinking. I installed fresh off of a CD 9.04, but then I restored some directories from a backup and /boot I think was one of them, the computer it was backup on was a SCSI drive system and this one is a IDE based one, maybe that's why that UUID is different ? [00:16] Bonstra: and the fstab? [00:16] hi [00:17] my ubuntu 8.10 no sound [00:17] i have installed flightgear, but when i go to run it application > games > flightgear. it doesn't do anything [00:17] why? [00:17] Zy. no loooooooool [00:17] who knows [00:17] ray_seattle: Indeed, it explains that. [00:17] !sound | zhoujingrui [00:17] zhoujingrui: 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 [00:17] why no sound [00:17] I have installed it again [00:17] i guess ubuntu help is on break [00:17] in vbox [00:17] ray_seattle: every filesystem has its own uuid. if you recreate a filesystem over the same partition, it's uuid changes [00:17] Bonstra: not sure, just not that expert yet at backing up, still learning [00:17] my bad [00:17] caodagua, in VirtualBox settings for you Vista machine change the Network card to something else [00:17] ray_seattle: most likely,compareout from: sudo blkid to your existing fstab /menu.lst [00:17] bernz: how can I install ubuntu desktop GUI on ubuntu server hardy? [00:17] zhoujingrui: are you using pulseaudio [00:17] i donot know [00:17] zhoujingrui: actually, didn't I talk to you about this last night? [00:17] humm ? [00:17] caodagua, PCnet-FAST III should work [00:18] zhoujingrui: I recognise your nick [00:18] yes [00:18] i've tried already [00:18] but i donot know how to do [00:18] but i'll try again [00:18] sorry [00:18] ray_seattle, Bonstra: i don't see a pastebin link for your fstab [00:18] back in a moment [00:18] V0iD_: why?! [00:19] oh. [00:19] zhoujingrui: was it the same problem we were working on yesterday? (I helped a lot of people...) [00:19] here is the pastebin of the fstab [00:19] caodagua, please try and address the person you trying to communicate with (the irc NIC before responding) [00:19] http://paste.ubuntu.com/181614/ [00:19] raylu: Terminal n00b [00:19] apt pin, make proposed low, and regular higher than 1000, then dist-upgrade [00:19] if I use iptables to set up internet connection sharing, just clearing the iptables will put it back to normal, right? [00:19] Anonymust, join #zenwalk [00:19]  i have installed flightgear, but when i go to run it application > games > flightgear. it doesn't do anything [00:19] and then wait for this shit to update completely? =_= gfff [00:19] Is there a good tutorial for setting up Software RAID in ubuntu that is not centered around the installation CD? I have an existing Ubuntu install (Intrepid) and want to build a RAID array. [00:19] V0iD_: then the question is why are you using server edition? if you aren't willing to learn to use the terminal, get the desktop edition [00:20] I'll just reinstall [00:20] off [00:20] da_bboxking, trying running from a terminal, so you can see the output [00:20] da_bboxking: try running it in a terminal and see if there are any errors [00:20] raylu: Could you not just tell me! [00:20] ok [00:20] boss_mc, great minds think alike [00:20] how do i exit a cat command in terminal [00:20] ray_seattle, Bonstra: i think the problem is fairly obvious... [00:21] sagaci, ctrl+x ??? [00:21] raylu: what is it ? [00:21] sagaci, ctrl+c sorry ??? [00:21] sagaci: cat should exit itself at the end of the file... [00:21] ray_seattle, Bonstra: do you know which drives should be swap and /? if not, sudo fdisk -l [00:21] Zyk. [00:21] ray_seattle, Bonstra: simply update the uuids in fstab [00:21] sagaci: if there is no end then see ZykoticK9 ^ [00:21] thanks guys [00:21] ZykoticK9 trying [00:21] boss mc what should i do? [00:21] thanks [00:21] see: http://paste.ubuntu.com/181616/ [00:22] raylu: That $1 variable didnt seem to work [00:22] V0iD_: the package name is ubuntu-desktop, but i'd much rather either help you with the terminal or install the desktop edition [00:22] V0iD_: the server kernel is optimized for throughput, not latency [00:22] ScottG: that wasn't me :P [00:22] ScottG: i was the one that said an alias wouldn't work [00:22] caodagua, do you also have it set to NAT? that's the easiest to get going - you should get a 10.x.x.x in the VM [00:22] zhoujingrui: aptitude show pulseaudio | grep State [00:22] ZykoticK9 of course :) [00:22] errorlevel::: afaik, you have to setup the raid during the install [00:22] raylu: Throughput?

I didn't think it would work because how mv works you need to enter the file in the middle. I just took his word for it since he seemed to know what he was talking about [00:23] raylu: /dev/sda5 is the unencrypted /boot and /dev/sda1 is the encrypted /. [00:23] ray_seattle, Bonstra: so i'm guessing sda1 is / and sdb2 is swap? [00:24] yes, am trying to look at it my self [00:24] appreciate help [00:24] ray_seattle, Bonstra: oh. ok... so update those uuids in fstab according to ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid [00:24] raylu: brctl does the job very quite nicely :) [00:24] cool, doing that right now [00:24] AllocateDmaBuffer fail [00:24] X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) [00:24] Major opcode of failed request: 161 (GLX) [00:24] Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_GLXCreateContext) [00:24] Serial number of failed request: 27 [00:24] Current serial number in output stream: 28 [00:24] freeglut (fgfs): ERROR: Function called with no current window defined.

[00:25] fool da_bboxking [00:25] raylu: Could I not install a minimal GUI? [00:25] raylu, ray_seattle: Ah, I missed this issue. [00:25] V0iD_: ubuntu-minimal. but i'm still opposed to the ideal altogether. the best way to learn the terminal is to use it, and that means no gui [00:25] V0iD_: your administration should be done over ssh, not in front of the monitor [00:25] caodagua, with PCnet-FAST III selected for Vista VM it shows up in Device Manager as AMD PCNet ... and certainly works - but I remember I had to fool around with different NICs to get Vista to work right [00:25] watchmovieslink.net [00:25] sound test [00:26] hi [00:26] ray_seattle, Bonstra: it's ok to replace it with the /dev/sda1s [00:26] no voice [00:26] ray_seattle, Bonstra: fstab/mount accepts both formats [00:26] raylu: I will use SSH but as a back-up I like the GUI! [00:26] i see, cool [00:26] ZykoticK9. thnks for the tips [00:26] V0iD_: since when is something as unreliable as a gui a backup? =\ [00:26] ZykoticK9. still studing this harder [00:26] i want to get a faster boot [00:27] * raylu afk [00:27] on my ubuntu installation [00:27] desmopro: which distro ? [00:27] raylu: I like the terminal but I like the comfort of the GUI! [00:27] V0iD_: sorry, forgot: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_latency_and_throughput [00:27] i think is possible if i delete the unnessesary thing, but [00:27] raylu, ray_seattle: Thanks raylu, you unlocked the situation. [00:27] V0iD_: then get comfortable with the cli. also, i'm afk now [00:28] ray_seattle, Bonstra: no problem; i'm off [00:28] Bonstra, raylu, thanks!! [00:28] CLI ? [00:28] desmopro: which distro ? [00:28] mmm distro, the ubuntu release ? , an eeeBuntu upgraded in jaunty [00:28] ZykoticK9. think I found the answer [00:28] desmopro: There is a fast grub thing you can do. Add the option of: profile then boot 1 time. It optimises some things which load [00:28] wat is afk? [00:28] i'll try and if works I put here the instructions [00:29] grub already boot directely on ubuntu [00:29] V0iD_: cli = command-line interface afk = away from keyboard [00:29] but , i talk about after grub [00:29] desmopro: fine, fast distro , next > speed up grub waiting, install bum an get off unneeded services, maybe check out prelink === geoaxis_ is now known as geoaxis [00:29] raylu: Please remember not everyone understands acronyms [00:29] genii: Thanks dude im an IRC n00b!

[00:31] desmopro: no prob, sudo apt-get install bum , then run it and check it [00:31] kk [00:31] pianoboy3333. I think you have to convert the music to wave [00:31] thanks [00:31] caodagua: then what? [00:31] and only thin add it [00:31] normaly [00:32] where do I go? [00:32] and I think new options are available with the wave format [00:32] wow a gui utility, i'm surprised [00:32] ^^ [00:32] inclusive really atach the music to the presentation [00:33] ok [00:33] Not sure if my fstab looks ok now, there are UUID references that are in the fstabbrb [00:33] desmopro: see above for a geeker way :P [00:34] ray_seattle: pastebin it. [00:34] i am crazy [00:34] no sound [00:35] desmopro: and last, but you should read a little more, you can use prelink to have (slight) faster boot, though there are some disadvantages ,too, google it [00:35] i just pasted at that site. wat now? [00:35] hm hello, i just installed xchat-gnome irc .0.26.1 and when i try joining Quakenet (network) i get error:(Remote host closed socket), any help thanks :D? [00:35] one more question: when im trying to access folder as example pictures in terminal it says that it doesnt exist but it does when i run dir, why? [00:36] kk [00:36] ZykoticK9. still nothing [00:36] chaos2fu: you'd run ls , not dir, cd into the desired dir and then use ls to display your file(s) [00:36] chaos2fu, are you typing Pictures or pictures - makes a difference [00:37] hm hello, i just installed xchat-gnome irc .0.26.1 and when i try joining Quakenet (network) i get error:(Remote host closed socket), any help thanks :D?

[00:38] aahh sorry guys, I didnt know that it was character-sensitive i wrote with a small p..:-~ *ashame*... is it any different between ls and dir except the color? [00:38] Bonstra: sorry, sister called from Philadelphia [00:39] chaos2fu, ls is the real command (dir is only on some distros for DOS people) [00:39] not unknown device but ethernet controler (without driver) [00:39] chaos2fu: ls has more advanced functionality, see man ls [00:39] ZykoticK9 conclusion .... still not working [00:39] caodagua, so what is happening?

[00:44] I uninstalled the gstreamer-0.10-plugins-bad in synaptic, but the libraries (like libmad0) were all left. Does removing the package not get rid of the depends? [00:45] da_bboxking, we need the full link [00:45] munch13: try sudo apt-get autoremove [00:45] how am suppose to give you that? [00:45] How do you change the open file limit for the mysql user? [00:46] ok, cross my fingers and see ya, THANKS!!!!!!!!!11 [00:46] da_bboxking when you used pastebin .. it shows you the link so we can find it [00:46] munch13: when you click to remove packages in the manager there is an option to "completely remove" that usually removes the libraries associated with it [00:46] da_bboxking, copy the link from the pastebin you made and post it back here http://pastebin.???/whatever83i [00:46] jefinc: cool! Thanks for the help [00:46] munch13: no problem :) [00:47] oh [00:47] does anyone have jscal working under 9.04? works fine under 8.10 but seems to make NO difference at all under 9.04 [00:48] Should i upgrade? [00:49] I have a ubuntu server 8.04, how do I upgrade it to 9.04? [00:49] Justin10ec, research distupgrade [00:49] Justin10ec: you need to either upgrade to 8.10 first, or do a clean install [00:49] http://paste.ubuntu.com/181625/ this? [00:49] Hi, can I safely index thousands of certificates based on `openssl x509 -sha1 -fingerprint -noout` ? [00:50] gordonjcp: Is this like "sudo aptitude dis-upgrade"? If so, it didn't really do anything? [00:50] dist* [00:50] jascase901: what do you mean should you upgrade? should you upgrade what? [00:50] Justin10ec: kind of [00:50] !paste [00:50] 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) [00:50] da_bboxking, do you happen to know if you have 3d working? play any other games successfully? [00:50] Justin10ec: dist-upgrade will upgrade your current distro to the latest packages *for that version* [00:50] yeah [00:51] Ubuntu to 9.04 [00:51] gordonjcp: But there is a way to upgrade to 9.04? [00:51] Justin10ec: you need to specifically tell it you want to upgrade to another version [00:51] am not sure if have 3 d working though [00:51] intrepid [00:51] Justin10ec: yes, but it involves putting 8.10 on first [00:51] da_bboxking, nvidia ati intel? [00:51] Justin10ec: or - as I said - reinstalling with 9.04 [00:51] Justin10ec: when I'm upgrading to an LTS I generally just do a clean install [00:52] not exactly [00:52] gordonjcp: I have too much stuff to backup. It wouldn't be worth the time. [00:52] da_bboxking, in a terminal type glxgears and see what the fps says [00:52] Justin10ec: in which case, if it works don't fix it [00:52] is there a tutorial to make a LiveCD from scratch?(the one on the wiki is for gutsy) [00:52] Justin10ec, that's an interesting statement [00:53] gordonjcp: So it's not excessively important to keep the server upgraded at all times? [00:53] gordonjcp: Release wise [00:53] Justin10ec: not really [00:53] is anyone using netatalk to share their drives with osx? [00:53] error failed of request [00:54] what is the state of bluray support in linux ??? [00:54] I have a player and discs but cannot play them in ubuntu ? [00:54] jefinc: interesting. i re-installed the gstreamer plugins with synaptic, then when i did 'complete removal' it didn't grab the dependencies. using aptitude though did. [00:54] Justin10ec: if it's the server version it's supported for five years [00:54] Justin10ec: giving you plenty time to back up [00:54] lol [00:54] doe linux support BLURAY ? [00:55] !patience > digit [00:55] digit, please see my private message [00:55] ahhh why oh why does it have to be like this [00:55] munch13: I find that the package manager is a little sloppy sometimes, I usually stick to using aptitude [00:55] can i get help with wireless after upgrading to 9.04 [00:55] ubottu, I see it [00:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about I see it [00:55] !bluray [00:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about bluray [00:56] is it possible to add a conditional repository? Like, I'd like to add a line for Karmic packages that's only used if I specify something on the aptitude command line. That way I can specify I want the testing version of a particular package and it's dependencies ONLY without worrying about my whole system getting updated to karmic packages.

You'll have to provide more details. [01:25] doleyb: Oh, my bad. What would the proper terminology be in your opinion? [01:25] Kruger: Just looks like any other file. No difference, no extensions like .exe or anything like that. IN linux, it's all just files.

I hope he got my intent :) [01:31] cheers [01:31] ZykoticK9, i want to disable it by default [01:31] ooh..my bad [01:31] zhane: I use arch...came from ubuntu-been a while [01:31] zhane, i'm surprised that it re-enables itself after boot? [01:31] ZykoticK9, it does [01:31] Rohaq, Smalls steps. I've only got it to work on a ~/private directory. [01:32] zhane, can you disable the Hardware Driver perhaps? [01:32] ZykoticK9, i still want to use it when required though [01:32] usr13, how to blacklist? [01:32] ./configure [01:33] zhane, blacklisting the driver is pretty much the same as disabling from hardware drivers [01:33] ZykoticK9, bleh... >.< [01:33] zhane, just uncheck connect auto in the network [01:33] will doing something to rcscript help? [01:34] sysdoc, i did... but it doesnt work [01:34] hmmm [01:34] another bug, lol [01:34] !blacklist | zhane [01:34] zhane, you could try removing it from /etc/network/interfaces - then bring it up manually -- perhaps [01:34] zhane: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [01:34] sysdoc, i dont want it to powerup [01:34] sysdoc, not connect to server [01:35] ZykoticK9, how to remove it? my interfaces only has auth lo... nothing abt eth0 or wlan0 [01:35] zhane dohh [01:35] datta, hi... do you have the flash plugin installed? [01:35] how can I search for files on ubuntu? [01:35] RxDx: find [01:35] RxDx, locate [01:35] please help me fix sound problem of youtube [01:35] RxDx: See man find [01:35] RxDx, whereis [01:35] ZykoticK9, only auto lo, iface lo inet loopback [01:36] zhane, so that's not an option then :( i got nothing. [01:36] there is no sound at all but there is sound from other sites of media [01:36] ZykoticK9,zhane: it's managed by netoworkmanager [01:36] anyone else here can tell me how i can turn on STATEFUL in my firewall [01:36] ZykoticK9,zhane: that is why it is not there [01:36] ive been having this problem since the morning [01:36] Kalmi_, erm then what should i do? [01:37] zhane, dunno :) [01:37] bleh [01:37] =___= [01:37] !enter | zhane [01:37] ls *word* [01:37] zhane: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [01:37] Kalmi_, zhane has a problem that he doesn't want his wireless to turn on at boot - any way of doing that without disabling the driver? so the wireless can be used when he wants? [01:39] WHo needs help?? === sean is now known as Guest79668 [01:39] Trying to install a certificate centrally to allow SSL LDAP access on in internal internet. [01:39] ZykoticK9, sorry this is not a specific answer, but in general, the wireless will go active during the startup process; there are scripts for this starting at '/etc' [01:39] is there a way to make ls show me the creation date for files? i read the manpage and the -c option seems right but it shows me the modification date not the creation date. does linux store the creation date? [01:40] I appear to not be seeing the cert from my program, but I can get response from my ldapsearch command. [01:40] gavagai: the modification date overides the creation date [01:40] bernz, thanks for trying - but it's just for my knowledge - it's really zhane's issue [01:40] ZykoticK9, if you scan the text in these areas for the name of the wifi adapter (e.g. 'ath0' or 'eth1', etc), you might find a way to bypass the default startup [01:40] im trying to add something to startup in the rc.local whats the best editor to use in the cli? [01:40] magician0617, the creation date is not preserved anywhere? [01:40] ZykoticK9, ah right, of course, i'll redirect my typing at zhane [01:40] wooo... how to scan? [01:41] zhane, 'grep'. ... 'man grep' [01:41] bernz, how to scan? hmm [01:41] gavagai: that is odd unless you modified the entire contents the creation date should be presnt [01:41] zhane, basically, 'grep -Ri' will ignore case, and search recursively [01:41] zhane, i wouldn't recommend this - playing with init files can be very system breaking very easily [01:42] zhane, e.g. 'cd /etc' ; 'grep -iR ath0 * | less' would look for files containing 'eth0' (don't include single quotes or semi-colon, they are just separators for humans) [01:42] well to test it I just created a file, waited one minute and then edited the file. i can't figure out how to make ls show me the creation date === sean is now known as Guest53588 [01:42] zhane, you must first just read around and try to see what's going on, then add "harmless" changes, like comments [01:42] iamtechno, I've made a script to mount with the right options (bar the password), any idea what the name of the option to encrypt filenames is? [01:43] zhane, take your time, and always quit without saving if you are using an editor to view the file (i like to scroll around a lot when i'm learning) [01:43] bernz, im getting funny readings =) [01:43] gavagai, i'm not sure unix has a creation date ("not sure") [01:43] tons of no such file or directory n permission denied [01:43] can someone help me real quick [01:43] hi folks I cant wrap my head around this issue, my ubuntu server 8.10 is telling me in many ways that my disk is full, but it is not. anyone seen this? [01:44] zhane, oh yeah, that's because you did the grep as non-super, which is okay; it just means grep is unable to open some "protected" system files as it searches, no worries [01:44] im trying to edit rc.local what should i use [01:44] how do i set up an ftp server ? [01:44] in the cli [01:44] Rohaq, No clue. If I were trying to encrypt just single files, I would use OpenSSL or GnuPG [01:44] >.< i guess i will juz use it the hard way [01:44] \nick ubuntu [01:44] mufasis, i like vim ('vi'), but it's a bit user-unfriendly right at first (i'll give you a crash course via msg if you like) [01:44] \nick [01:44] zhane, if you are interested, i can give you more details by msg (pm); i don't want to flood the channel [01:45] spydmobile: No. You sure it's not full? Pastebin results of df and let's have look. [01:45] mufasis, which editor do i use? is the fastest way to get unix people to disagree :) good luck - check out nano, vi, emacs [01:45] spydmobile: df [01:45] mufasis, I prefer nano, just because it's more simple, and life's too short to learn how to use a text editor like vi if you just want to edit the occasional file [01:45] someone let me into #kubuntu pls? [01:45] i cant get it [01:45] in [01:45] user13: http://www.mibbit.com/pb/Efvuf7 [01:46] usr13: http://www.mibbit.com/pb/Efvuf7 [01:46] Rohaq, learning vi is very handy for system portability - everything unix has vi, they don't have nano [01:46] but he's right, the 'right' editor is a sore point for many people, I've never been able to get on with vi myself [01:46] !enter | pilif12p [01:46] pilif12p: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

Try telling us what you had before and what you have now, (in the way of partitions), like /dev/hda1 /dev/hda2 /dev/hda3 /dev/hdb1 /dev/hdb2 etc.etc. [02:20] I wanst connected to the internet when i upgraded. Someone suggested i downgrade but there isnt any other kernels listed except for 9.04. is this fixable with out having to do a fresh install. [02:21] LargePrime: Oh, you expanded the size of the windows partition and deleted the one after it? [02:21] usr13 how do i examine the partitions I have now, in ubuntu? [02:21] LargePrime: fdisk -l [02:21] sudo? [02:22] LargePrime: yes [02:22] How do I amplify the sound that's coming out of my speakers? I know I can get more, it's just that the thing I'm playing is not pushing everything as high as it could. [02:22] I don't suppose anyone could help me get Half Life 2 running in WINE? [02:22] can't seem to make that happen [02:23] usr13 "Cannot open /dev/sda" [02:23] Hello I managed to remove a module using modprobe command to test some kind of instability problem. How can I get that module back? Is there a way to auto-scan or (if I knew what list there was install it like that?) [02:23] LargePrime: sudo = superuser [02:23] bunchofgibberish: do you know the module name? [02:23] LargePrime: I think I see what you've done now and, well it will be complicated to fix, because the fstab file will be wrong and grub will be showing your Linux partitions in the wrong places. The best thing you can do is put a very small partition in the place of the one you deleted. [02:23] ugliefrog, can you connect with a wire and to upgrades in 9.04? you might get support for you wireless? good luck. [02:23] V0iD_: sudo = superuser do [02:24] raylu: Yep sorry typo. 0_o [02:24] bunchofgibberish, did you reboot? [02:24] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/181676/ usr13 [02:24] yes === Leenuks is now known as Rotel [02:24] i've used lsmod and the module is not appearing so i need to get it back, lol [02:25] modprobe -i right? however I dont remember the name lol [02:25] LargePrime: From what I gather, you deleted the second partition on the primary HD, and your Linux install was on the third and forth, now they're on the second and third. It will be a complicated process to fix what you've done. [02:25] bunchofgibberish, can you "sudo modprobe MODULE_NAME" [02:25] ok, what if i would like to do the complicated fix to learn? [02:25] I forget the module name lol [02:25] starts with c***802011 I think [02:26] It's a wlan module [02:26] is it in your terminal history right now? the "up" key cycles through old commands? === jezi22 is now known as Jezi-Drake [02:26] bunchofgibberish, see above [02:26] No I had removed the module 3-4 days ago [02:26] raylu: Could u tell me a good app for an ubuntu hardware firewall. [02:26] is there a way I can check 'sudo' history? [02:27] hey guys how can i see what dns server my box is looking at. its headless so its needs to be in the shell [02:27] usr13 care to coach me thru the complicated fix, so I can learn? [02:27] LargePrime: You would have to show us your partition table, (the results from sudo fdisk -l) and you would have to show us your fstab file, and well, let's put it this way, I would not do what you've done because it would be way to much trouble to fix and I've been using linux for YEARS. [02:27] how do i set up a samba server so i can see my files on a windows PC ? [02:27] Out of curiosity, anybody ran into issues with a wireless keyboard/mouse & a webcam? [02:27] Doonz, cat /etc/resolve.conf [02:27] LargePrime: I don't know if I have time. [02:27] V0iD_: iptables/ipchains [02:27] bunchofgibberish: you can scroll pretty far back [02:27] raylu: thanks [02:28] oh lol I only thought it saved history per session [02:28] sorry lol [02:28] root@fast:~# cat /etc/resolve.conf [02:28] cat: /etc/resolve.conf: No such file or directory [02:28] ?? [02:28] Doonz: no e [02:28] I pastebined my table http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/181676/ usr13. [02:28] thelaugh1ngmime, samba is typically a server - if your windows machine is already sharing stuff just go to Place / Network and perhaps you'll see your windows computer. Good luck. [02:28] my screen resolution is stuck on 640x480 in jaunty. using nvidia fx5700le. Ive tried setting edid, modelines in xorg.conf etc. it either does nothing or i get no gdm and have to reconfigure to basic settings. any pointers please. thanks [02:28] ola [02:28] root@fast:~# cat /etc/resolv.conf [02:29] nothing happens [02:29] Anybody know a lot about gspca? [02:29] i must say though that in 8.04 or 8.10 this was an easy fix. [02:29] Doonz: then the file is empty [02:29] but i want the files off of the server to my other 2 pcs on the net work [02:29] uh oh [02:29] What version of ubuntu would be best to virtualize servers on vbox with, Ubuntu Desktop or Ubuntu Server [02:29] Treyh: have you considered kvm? [02:29] Doonz, add a line "nameserver ", do you currently have DNS resolution? [02:30] !fixres > Rotel [02:30] Rotel, please see my private message === Jezi-Drake is now known as EvilBrain [02:30] Now... I have a few questions if someone could answer them... As I am a recent windows use but understands linux but has more technical things I must know. Where (or what is) the firewall in ubuntu as I cannot see anything for it, or I think I was once told a firewall is built into the kernel? [02:30] jim__, no, haven'theard of it [02:30] I've read about Xen but wanted something quick and easy [02:30] ZykoticK9: the tech support sent me a list of 5 resolvers [02:30] LargePrime: Ok, I'll have to do some guess work here... Tell me if I am right or wrong: You deleted sda5 which caused sda6 to become sda5 and sda7 to become sda6. Right?____ Wrong?___ [02:30] I would prefer to use vbox [02:30] !firewall | bunchofgibberish [02:30] bunchofgibberish: 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 [02:30] thanks :) [02:31] Doonz, the format is "nameserver IP1" new line "nameserver IP2" etc. [02:31] without quotes? [02:31] bunchofgibberish: jrib already covered it but for the most part its not something you really need to worry about [02:31] Treyh: Xen's good too, but ubuntu has decided to prefer kvm for its paravirtualization, for now at least. virtualbox'll work but it's not the intended use-case really. Not to digress... [02:31] Doonz, without quotes - YES [02:31] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/181679/ http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/181676/ usr 13 [02:31] how do i set up an ftp server on my ubu server? [02:31] Treyh: ubuntu server will be slightly lighter, so use it. [02:31] OMG awesome ok... now two more if you guys don't mind :P [02:31] xchat used to have baloons that poped up when u had it set...mine doesnt work anymore whats wrong with it [02:31] usr13, in that scheme, things don't move around; they are fixed slots [02:31] no worries on my end bunchofgibberish [02:31] thelaugh1ngmime, proftpd is pretty good - good luck. [02:32] ZykoticK9: like this nameserver 66.90.68.25 [02:32] still no sound [02:32] Doonz, perfect [02:32] I'd like to fix the slow performance problem as detailed here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks#Asus%20Eee900 - I followed that link but couldn't figure out how to apply the hotfix... Is there a built kernel I can use? [02:32] Yay [02:32] usr13, 1,2,3,4=primary-potential; 5,6,7,8,...=logical (in extended) [02:32] Or can you show me how to apply a hotfix? [02:32] Linux does not need a defragger because it 'intelligently' checks upon boot if files are defragmented and 'fsck' runs before boot (this is what I am told is that correct?) [02:32] what happend? [02:32] why no sound [02:32] bunchofgibberish: no [02:32] jrib ive done that .. didnt work [02:33] how do i debug ubuntu? [02:33] usr13, i *could* be wrong, but it's been consistent in my experience [02:33] How do you defrag in linux? [02:33] you got it close enough bunchofgibberish [02:33] hello I am having grub issues with Win XP. I get this error: Filename must be either an absolute filename or blocklist === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [02:33] ok lol [02:33] Rotel: good to know I guess... (you should probably be more specific) [02:33] bunchofgibberish: the standard Linux filesystem (ext3) allocates files in a way that tries to minimize fragmentation. it's usually quite effective, as long as the drive is not very full. it never defragments anything. [02:33] farnaby: it's not close at all. [02:33] ok thank you LjL and farnaby [02:33] no one answer me [02:33] so bad [02:33] zhoujingrui: i just came, ask [02:33] ljl its close enough insofar as there isn't a defragger which is what he isasking about [02:33] bernz: bernz Oh yea, sda5 and sda6 are extended partitions.... [02:34] when i start firefox [02:34] it stops [02:34] my ubuntu suddenly no sound [02:34] farnaby: that's not what he asked. [02:34] when i start firefox in commandline [02:34] and always that [02:34] no error message showing [02:34] farnaby: also, there is a defragger, it's just not currently shipped with ubuntu. [02:34] usr13 I assumed so as the numbers changed [02:34] no firefox visual display [02:34] bernz: So, I wonder what it looked like before LargePrime deleted one of them? Which one did he delete? [02:34] git, try starting it in a terminal with firefox [02:35] There is one yes, somewhere. Never even bothered to find it as there isn't really a need unless you end up with packed harddrives. [02:35] can someone tell me, when I hover over the menu (in the top left corner) a caption shows up (obviously saying Menu or something) but for some reason its in german.. . any way of fixing this? [02:35] usr13, if you deleted 'sda5' and it caused 'sda6'->'sda5', 'sda7'->'sda6', etc, that would wreak havoc with other mounted volumes, etc... so it mustn't work that way [02:35] This question has to do with suspend/resume problems. I've tried the way launchpad has setup and I cannot just seem to get and I want to provide as much info as possible to help Ubuntu get better hardware support for my laptop. What happens is my laptop hangs after resuming from suspend and all file systems are read only, how can I go about providing as much info as possible as there already is a launchpad up about this (for my h [02:35] ardware) however it is under investigation. [02:35] usr13, therefore, the one he deleted is the "gap tooth" (missing one) [02:35] (in the list) [02:35] help me [02:35] Anybody run across this bug before here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/109691 [02:35] bernz: Yes I would just recreate a very small partition as a place holder and be done with it. [02:35] bunchofgibberish: suspend support has always been flaky in the kernel [02:36] bernz: That is the only I would attempt to fix it. [02:36] usr13, have you seen the partition table? (did i miss a pastebin?) [02:36] Is there a way I can provide more info though? [02:36] bunchofgibberish: That one I have no idea. I have never gotten suspend/hibernate to work consistently well on any laptop under ubuntu. Other distros yes but not ubuntu for some reason [02:36] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/181676/ [02:36] thanks [02:36] Kingsy101, have you checked System / Admin / Language Support ? [02:36] Alright thank you all :) [02:36] Have a good night [02:37] Will moving my audio card to a different slot force ubuntu to re-recognize it? [02:37] Whats the best torrent application for Ubuntu, I feel like I'm pushing my limits currently with the default Transmission installation [02:37] usr13, looks like my log missed the first bit (i kinda jumped in); is that the "after" table, or "before"? i was just chiming in about how to identify a missing partition [02:38] after [02:38] ZykoticK9 - yea, the default language is on English [02:38] (i thought it might be useful, but i'm interested in the problem) [02:38] hi, guys. my fan is not working. i don't know if it's because of the upgrade to jaunty or if it's just dead. how do i check this? [02:38] gil__: excellent! you, too, have realized that transmission is worthless :D [02:38] i have no before [02:38] bernz: That is the after [02:38] LargePrime, recap in 20 words or less? :-) [02:38] gil__: wait, wrong person [02:38] tecky: excellent! you, too, have realized that transmission is worthless :D [02:38] tecky: unfortunately, you made a mistake when you asked for the best [02:38] !best | tecky [02:38] tecky: 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. [02:38] Any good GUI's for John the Ripper? [02:38] raylu: /sigh... long ago, just now getting around to it :( [02:38] I dual boot Win and Ubuntu. I formatted and merged and extra partition inside of windows. Now grub is confused and lost my Ubuntu partition. I followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows and when I rebooted grub still gives an 'error 22, partition not found'. I am currently in a live session.

[02:40] tecky: deluge [02:40] zhoujingrui Please ask a complete question on one line and be patient when waiting for an answer [02:40] okay, dumb question: how do I stop commands from echoing in a bash script, but still display the echoes that I run in the script itself? [02:40] binmonkey: try plugging your fan into the sysfan plug on your motherboard, there should be 2 fan plugs at least. one called 'cpu fan' and the other 'sys fan' [02:40] Okay bernz, look at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/181679/ [02:40] Rohaq try /join #bash [02:40] ok, thanks [02:40] LargePrime: uuids can be found with: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid [02:41] binmonkey. does the fan spin when you boot the computer.. before ubuntu starts [02:41] what's "relatime"?

[02:41] can i get help with wireless on dell after upgrading to 9.04 [02:41] I have a hpnc6400 with intel wlan wm3945abg, recently upgraded to hardy from gutsy. My wifi connection works for a while and then drops and disabling/enabling it does nothing. i have to shut down the computer and reboot to get it working again, can someone help me solve this? [02:41] raylu great. why do i want to find them [02:41] shadow420, is there a way I can install DirectX on linnux because the engine says I need the latest version when I try to play it. [02:41] LargePrime: because you need to fix your fstab [02:41] EvilBrain Clean up your sources list for one [02:41] LargePrime: those uuids under the commented lines are probably wrong [02:41] the whole question is my ubuntu8.10 suddenly no soound === c is now known as charitwo [02:41] shola try /join #winehq [02:42] LargePrime: you want sda5 to be mounted as ext3 on / [02:42] !details > zhoujingrui [02:42] zhoujingrui, please see my private message [02:42] bernz: So he's using lsb and sda7 was / and sda6 was swap [02:42] LargePrime: and similar for swap [02:42] binmonkey, check your dialogue.

[02:42] Jack_Sparrow bash: /join: No such file or directory [02:42] Any good GUI's for John the Ripper? [02:42] raylu: What? [02:43] usr13: ...what? [02:43] shola "/join #bash" [02:43] LargePrime, raylu has probably given you the key -- compare what you get right now with "ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid" and what you have in your fstab (http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/181679/) are the UUIDs the same? [02:43] LargePrime: If its a grub error its got nothing to do with fstab. [02:43] anyoen good with wireless networks on ubuntu? [02:43] Upgrading to 9.04 just quietly raped my xserver (fglrx gone horribly awry/not supported). Does anyone know the definitive answer of when, if ever, this might get fixed? [02:43] FatsDominoTheory: fixing fstab will certainly be important, though [02:43] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/181691/ [02:43] !anyone | puller [02:43] puller: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [02:43] usr13, yeah, i agree that the fstab needs fixing [02:43] FatsDominoTheory: It has to do with both. He would also need to edit / change fstab entries. [02:44] Jack_Sparrow bash :/join: No such file or directory [02:44] FatsDominoTheory there may be a grub error now, but if he played with those partitions, the fstab will need a review before he is done [02:44] puller: I just got wireless to work on 9.04 on Acer Aspire 3004 [02:44] Can someone recommend a decent c programming channel / server ? [02:44] How can I get ubuntu to re-install my sound card? [02:44] LargePrime, damb that's true grub uses a different HD system altogether (0,0) for first HD etc. good luck man [02:44] shola Where are you typing that.. [02:44] FatsDominoTheory: Because sda6 has become sda5 and sda7 has become sda6 [02:44] I have a hpnc6400 with intel wlan wm3945abg. My wifi connection works for a while and then drops and disabling/enabling it does nothing. i have to shut down the computer and reboot to get it working again, can someone help me solve this? [02:44] eric1: i got a dell xps m1530 and i had it workign but it broke when i upgraded to ubuntu 9.04 [02:45] usr13, but uuids are important too, as raylu said... new installs make new uuids, even if the actual physical device is the same [02:45] rufuscure: ##c [02:45] terminal [02:45] LargePrime: also, I'd like to see the contents of /boot/grub/menu.lst from /dev/sda5 [02:45] eric1: here is what i have tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7352155#post7352155 [02:45] (and then mismatches cause boot halts) [02:45] shola try it in here, bash is a channel [02:45] (and yes, GRUB's menu.lst needs updating too) [02:45] i am sorry i missed alot of the conversation. Is there anything else you all want pastebined [02:45] hey thanks raylu [02:45] BoyahMaster, does it work if you put the 'live disk' in? [02:45] sorry [02:45] np [02:45] lol did anyone answer my question. if so please ddc chat me [02:45] can someone tell me the correct way of adding something to ubuntu repositries? or just installing programs? [02:45] LargePrime: The contents of /boot/grub/menu.lst from /dev/sda5 [02:45] (and maybe even 'device.map') [02:46] FatsDominoTheory: bernz So fixing grub will only be one step in the process. The best / easiest way to fix it is to go back and resize (shrink) sda2 just a little and create a very small sda5. That will fix every thing. [02:46] BoyahMaster, the other thing I'd like to ask is if you know that your wireless access point is good. Mine is flaky and will do the same thing. [02:46] Rotel: gksu nautilus [02:46] ZeroBeholder, not sure i never tried it with live disk, i upgraded from gutsy to hardy, in gutsy it always worked, in hardy it works for a while and then stops working [02:46] Hey losher . The help didnt work. be right bach with that [02:46] what does nautilus have to do with video resolutions [02:46] LargePrime: sorry about that. But it's nothing we can't fix [02:46] ZeroBeholder, my AP is good as far as I know, have 4 other wireless devices on it, 2 of them running hardy with no problems [02:46] eric1: let me know if you got any ideas [02:47] shola Regnum has a linux port use itg [02:47] hey jack long time no see [02:47] Well, we've ruled out the furthest hardware as being bad then. [02:47] puller: do you see my IM? [02:48] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/181693/ usr13 losher everyone else [02:48] PM* [02:48] FatsDominoTheory: losher: LargePrime: I'm telling you the easiest / best way to fix it, is to re-create sda5 and shift the now sda5 to sda6 and sda6 to sda7 [02:48] I would try the live disk, I know from my job that particular wNIC is supported. [02:48] Kingsy101: you have a problem with repos or just doing it for first time? [02:48] usr13, well, it's maybe non-trivial, because there's nothing "in front of" sda5 [02:48] eric1: yea i am in your im now [02:48] ZeroBeholder, i guess i can also try to search for hardy drivers for this wlan card [02:48] VCoolio - I am just doing it for the first time... [02:48] user13 et all I totaly agree. And I only want to do this to learn. [02:48] usr13: that's definitely the easiest way, but it's not particularly elegant. Might as well fix it properly. Just a bit of text editing... [02:49] so now what do i need [02:49] losher: Ok well, How then should he fix it? ??? [02:49] usr13, i'm not sure i'd want to do a resize on a windows partition from another OS [02:49] Is it possible/probable that a reason for xfce4 not being able to function correctly, is that the kernel is too out of date for the version of the xfce4 package? === rachel is now known as Guest70407 [02:49] coward!!!! [02:49] bernz: I've done it many times [02:50] usr13, i've had bad luck with windows saying "hey, who messed with my partitions while i was gone?! that's it, i quit!" [02:50] does anyone know what applications i need to get quicktime files to play [02:50] messing with partition table vs editing text files... i'd say take the safer, more elegant solution [02:50] Remember your layers in trouble shooting problems... is it plugged in... then look at components... then look at os problems... then look at application crap that may be interfering... [02:50] no seriously dont kill my win [02:50] usr13: basically edit sda5:/boot/grub/menu.lst, then sda5:/etc/fstab, then reinstall grub. Takes longer to explain than to actually do [02:50] szrhawaii: define "quicktime file" [02:50] Kingsy101: normally installing apps that are in default repos is best because they are best supported; third party repos can contain newer or additional apps so sometimes you need those; you can do so in synaptic: settings > repositories > third party software [02:50] Ohithere: not in ubuntu [02:50] bernz: losher but what about /etc/fstab? [02:50] i have a 32g file i want to play or convert to a avi [02:50] sorry that was for losher [02:50] szrhawaii: does mplayer do it? [02:51] my screen resolution is stuck on 640x480 in jaunty. using nvidia fx5700le. Ive tried setting edid, modelines in xorg.conf etc. it either does nothing or i get no gdm and have to reconfigure to basic settings. any pointers please. dcc chat me plz [02:51] for some reason it doesnt [02:51] usr13: see above. middle section [02:51] losher but what about /etc/fstab? See http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/181679/ [02:51] szrhawaii: what is its extension? [02:51] szrhawaii: tried vlc? [02:51] i havent yet [02:51] raylu [02:51] awesome, got a couple of scripts to check the mount, and mount/unmount my encrypted directory, thanks everyone :) [02:51] why is that? [02:51] Kingsy101: tell me what repo you are trying to add, I can talk you through it if you need [02:51] AFK [02:51] virus named autorun.inf is in the pendrive if i put it in ubuntu it affect computer [02:52] not that anyone cares [02:52] Ohithere: because you got your kernel from the ubuntu repositories [02:52] its a file from a phone thats a video [02:52] VCoolio - can we pm it is easier to follow if thats ok? [02:52] Ohithere: so it should be recent [02:52] Kingsy101: ok [02:52] No, what if it was a Red Hat kernel [02:52] Rotel: what graphics card? remove your xorg.conf [02:52] Ohithere: ... [02:52] usr13: in sda5:/etc/fstab we replace sda7 with sda5, that's all [02:52] losher: Well, I don't know, maybe it will work, BECAUSE he is using LSB [02:52] Ohithere: then you shouldn't be asking the question in #ubuntu [02:52] lsb? [02:52] nvidia fx5700le and removing the xorg.conf does nothing [02:52] i'll google [02:52] my OS is ubuntu, but the kernel is red hat [02:52] ruler, sounds like it's a windows only virus, probably something like Conficker? [02:52] :/ [02:52] Ohithere: uname -a [02:53] ye si know [02:53] yes i know* [02:53] Ohithere We dont support that config [02:53] its a red hat kernel [02:53] LargePrime: Ok, go on and edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and see what happens. [02:53] Rotel: does gdm start, at least? [02:53] !prefix | Rotel [02:53] Rotel: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [02:53] Ohithere: show me the output, nonethless [02:53] LargePrime: linux standard base [02:53] edit it to what? [02:53] rohaq i cant under stand what are you telling i am new to ubuntu [02:53] only on 640x480. [02:53] LargePrime: Pastebin /boot/grub/menu.lst and let us have a look. [02:53] ok [02:53] is it possible to share me 3 mobile broadband over my ethernet network under xubuntu 9.0.4? [02:53] ruler, it's not strictly to do with ubuntu, I'll take this to private messages :) [02:53] Rotel: i'm not going to be able to follow you unless you put my name somewhere in the message [02:54] ruler, windows viruses don't work on Linux [02:54] Question about the apache2 package: apache used to come with a web-based documentation, not just the 'It works!' page. where has it gone to? [02:54] usr13 i did [02:54] Rotel: after gdm starts, run xrandr in your terminal [02:54] !virus > ruler [02:54] ruler, please see my private message [02:54] eseven73: With Wine, they sometimes can. [02:54] Oh... [02:54] usr13: already done. We should afree who will direct. Too many cooks etc... [02:54] nvidia driver doesnt find edid for my monitor and reverts to SAFE resolution. ive googled and tried to fix it but nothing works [02:54] eseven73 thanks [02:54] raylu: Linux kelia 2.6.18-92.1.18.el5.028stab060.2xen #1 SMP Tue Jan 13 12:04:44 MSK 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [02:54] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/181693/ [02:54] ryanakca, only if wine is run as root [02:54] ruler, np [02:54] arktvrvs: i believe it's configured in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default [02:54] usr13: afree -> agree [02:54] raylu - nvidia driver doesnt find edid for my monitor and reverts to SAFE resolution. ive googled and tried to fix it but nothing works [02:54] is there a way for me to tell the scheduler not to give all my processor to a process (say rar, for example) [02:54] ryanprior, I mean, darn too many ryans in here ;) [02:54] LargePrime: Give me the url again. [02:54] eseven73: A virus can do a lot of harm without having root. :-) [02:54] i assume hd0,6 to hd0,4 [02:55] Ohithere: any particular reason you're running that?

[02:55] i wish i wasnt to be honest [02:55] g'night everyone, back tomorrow (or soonish) [02:55] Ohithere: so... don't...? [02:55] but its a kernel that was preloaded and locked by my vps provider [02:55] not that i do not like your cookinf bernz [02:55] ahh crap [02:55] Ohithere: sounds like you need a new vps [02:55] ;E [02:55] ;D [02:56] Ohithere Which provider, there is nothing about that that makes sense to me [02:56] damn, was going to tell ruler how to get rid of that within ubuntu, prevent him from infecting more windows machines :( [02:56] Jack_sparrow, why does it not make sense? [02:56] LargePrime: i assume hd0,6 to hd0,4 <-- yes, but also the uuids need to be updated [02:56] LargePrime: Change root (hd0,6) [02:56] REGISTER [02:56] Ohithere Please see the topic of the channel [02:56] Rohaq, he's left like 10 times in 3o mins, I think he has a bad net connection or something [02:56] oh there we go [02:56] rufuscure, do not do that in this window, bad habit. [02:56] :D [02:57] I'm new sorry [02:57] usr13 all 5 of them right? [02:57] Rotel: i looked around in bios and there's no fan option anywhere. [02:57] LargePrime: change "root (hd0,6)" to "root (hd0,5)" [02:57] caraca q loco xD [02:57] I came here to ask you all a question, please humor me. [02:57] i'm teaching myself c++ (c++ for dummies & the web) but I'm thinking whats the point when c# seems to be the new thing, what would you guys recommend? [02:57] rufuscure use the server window so if you make a mistake not everyone will see your pass [02:57] LargePrime: Yes all of them [02:57] i see the topic.. whats that have anything to do with what i just asked you? [02:57] usr13 change to root (hd0,4) [02:57] binmonkey. look for temperatures listed somewhere [02:58] rufuscure Wrong channel for that, try a C or our #ubuntu-offtopic channel [02:58] rufuscure, , ah Jack_Sparrow beat me to it nevermind,,,darn pirates. :D [02:58] LargePrime: no change to 5 not 4 [02:58] LargePrime: agreed, change to 5, not 4 [02:59] changed to 5, not 4 done and saved [02:59] LargePrime: No, change to root (hd0,5) === Cueball|2 is now known as Cueball [02:59] Rotel: in bios, right? [02:59] Hey [02:59] I have a question [02:59] binmonky - yes [02:59] eseven73, ok, cheers, I need to sleep now, but if he comes back, can someone get him to check in the RECYCLER hidden subdirectory in his USB pendrive and remove any executables, and delete that autorun? [02:59] LargePrime: oops. Root is /dev/sda5, that is grub's root(hd0,4) [03:00] Jack_Sparrow long time no see man [03:00] hey [03:00] friends don't let friends infect Windows machines :D [03:00] all 5 "root (hdo,6)" have been changed to "root (hdo,5)" and the file saved [03:00] can openoffice open all sort of formats of microsoft office because i use microsoft office powerpoint and use these functions that make it all glitter and stuff and can it work with openoffic? [03:00] usr13: LargePrime: please confirm. Root is /dev/sda5, that is grub's root(hd0,4) [03:00] ok stopping === jose is now known as JaRDinero [03:01] . [03:01] losher how do i check that [03:01] I can't seem to get my wireless card to connect to my network [03:01] it should work in open office for the most part [03:01] LargePrime: I think.. losher I don't know, but if you take in to consideration that he only deleted one partition... Well, I'm just guessing. I don't know for sure. === Cueball is now known as Cueball|2 [03:01] LargePrime: like this. Type sudo grub [03:01] i mean all the stuff from microsft office 2003? [03:01] Krine11: by glitter, you mean ugly, right? [03:01] I am connected through my ethernet card [03:01] No, I mean those effects [03:01] like buncing letters when presenting [03:01] will those effects work with open office? [03:02] Krine11: yes, most animations work, i believe. i wouldn't know since i'd rather gouge my eyes out than look at them [03:02] I am on my laptop instead of my desktop on linux [03:02] Krinell, they work to an extent, usually [03:02] Krine11: though, couldn't you have just tried it yourself instead of asking? [03:02] sudo grub, check [03:02] no because i just istnalled ubuntu [03:02] on my netbook [03:02] the last time i tested it was on an Office 2000 presentation though [03:02] losher might be right... I don't know for sure. [03:02] now what losh [03:02] and i do lots of stuff at work with microsoft office 2003 [03:02] LargePrime: losher might be right... I don't know for sure. [03:02] LargePrime: then type: find /boot/grub/stage1 [03:02] dual booting Vista/Ubuntu [03:03] Krine11: ...since you have it installed, you can easily get ooimpress and try it [03:03] Krine11 try asking in the open office channel for specific questions.

[03:04] usser_: Er, could you elaborate, please? I'm a bit new to this [03:04] Is flash in full screen a bit jerky for everyone or is it just me? [03:04] losher: System map will be off... RIght? [03:04] you know, it's better for only one person to give support [03:04] anyone here got doom3 running on 64 bits jaunty? === ivantis is now known as ivantis32 [03:04] yeah, flash is a bit jerky untill i turn cpu up to 2Ghz [03:04] usr13: crap, we better check it [03:04] weasel__, try subsonic, its a program that streams music/video over http [03:05] rignes mee too, but i cant chat now. pm me if you get an answer [03:05] Ah, that might do the trick, let me give it a try [03:05] how do i find what's included in the ubuntu server edition? [03:05] LargePrime: I'm glad I'm not the only one with the problem. I've noticed it on my slackware system as well. It may just be a flash thing. [03:05] !network [03:05] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:05] Time to hit google. ;) [03:05] losher usr13 are you mind melding in another channel? [03:05] rignes: it is. ATI video by any chance? [03:06] mine is [03:06] LargePrime: no, we're trying to fix you by committee [03:06] Aeosynth: aptitude show ubuntu-server or http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/edubuntu-server [03:06] losher: Theoritically it should only drop by one number. [03:07] usr13: I agree. LargePrime, can we see your sda5:/boot/System.map-2.6.27-11-generic ? [03:07] onit [03:07] usr13: I agree. LargePrime, wait a moment... [03:08] raylu: that's not exactly what i'm looking for; i'm going to burn the ubuntu-server edition iso, not install a package [03:08] eric1: i am back, and i still have no wireless [03:08] usr13: LargePrime, isn't it /boot/grub/device.map we want? [03:08] Aeosynth: actually, it is. ubuntu-server is a metapackage that depends on a ton of other things [03:08] hi all. i have a problem with a f***ed up hd. it is unmountable. when running testdisk it reproducably hangs while analyzing cylinder 647. heres the log http://pastebin.com/f6a2242a6 [03:08] what can i do? [03:08] Aeosynth: that, in turn, depends on a ton of other things. all of that together is pretty much what you get if you install the ubuntu server cd [03:09] elementz please dont swaer even like that.. it isnt needed or wanted [03:09] Jack_Sparrow: k [03:09] waiting. i have a question. in gedit how do i tell which disk is which [03:09] usr13: LargePrime, sorry, it's been a while since I did this [03:09] losher: He will also have to rebuild initrd as well, right? [03:09] ty [03:09] Does anyone know of any good web coding apps? [03:09] V0iD_: a text editor [03:09] !html | V0iD_ [03:09] V0iD_: html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build web pages. WYSIWYG editors: KompoZer (was Nvu), Iceape Composer, Amaya - Development environments: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem - For a howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com/ [03:10] np. I thank you much for your help.. both of you. especicialy since we have a simple fix but you are trying it the hard way [03:10] raylu: yep [03:10] usr13: I didn't think initrd would need to be rebuilt. I've never had to do that when I've moved root partitions around? [03:10] losher: I think that /boot/initrd.img-2.x.x whatever will also need to be rebuilt, right? [03:10] LargePrime: simple and good are often mutually exclusive [03:10] amen brothers and sisters [03:10] losher: Ok, then YOU'RE the expert! :) [03:10] usr13: initrd shouldn't need a rebuild [03:11] raylu: preferably one close to dreamweaver! [03:11] great, we can blame LOSHER then [03:11] V0iD_: ... [03:11] V0iD_: in what way is dreamweaver preferable? [03:11] raylu: Uea ok [03:11] usr13: LargePrime: I'm the expert. Be afraid. Be very afraid.... [03:11] V0iD_: coding for the web is already ugly and hacked up. no need to introduce another layer of fail [03:11] raylu: XHTML!!! [03:11] ok.... what was the simple fix again??? ;} [03:12] Does anyone know how to fix the Gtk 32 bit module loader problems in jaunty? Here is the error message: Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module": /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 [03:12] ok what am i doing now then [03:12] wysiwyg markup is utter fail, please don't do it [03:12] epic fail even [03:12] raylu: Do you not know about that? [03:12] losher: raylu Yes, the building of initrd.img relies on the system.map file but would bild same image either way. [03:13] V0iD_: ...obviously i do, which is why i'm saying it's bad [03:13] cchen, hold on checking [03:13] LargePrime: usr13: do you want to try the simple way first? [03:13] raylu: How can a standard be bad! [03:13] hiya ubuntu people [03:13] no, [03:13] V0iD_: dreamweaver is a standard? [03:13] Okay, Audacity for Ubuntu sucks eggs. Anyone have a tip on a good audio recorder/editor for Ubuntu? [03:13] go for broke.. We HAVE an EXPERT [03:13] raylu: No I mean a W3C standard! [03:13] isaac_: i've used it a few times without any trouble. what's wrong? [03:13] losher: What's the simple way. (Didn't konw there was one? [03:14] LargePrime: ok. let's see /boot/grub/device.map [03:14] V0iD_: oh. it's great, but nobody can follow it [03:14] a lot of testosterone in here tonight O.o [03:14] user13 add the partition [03:14] coz_: thanks. I've been googling around but not sure where the symbolic link's broken for gtk [03:14] V0iD_: also, we're very off-topic [03:14] cchen, do you have libcanberra0 installed? [03:14] raylu it just won't record. I've tried every ALSA and Audacity sound setting I can find. [03:14] cchen, also libcanberra-gtk0 libcanberra-gtk-module and related dev pacakges [03:15] LargePrime: Oh yea, that's the simple / easy way, just put the partition table back like it was and everything will work as before. [03:15] coz_: I have libcanberra pre-installed with jaunty 64 bit. it's under /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules. [03:15] usr13: someone suggested adding a partition at sda3 to bump sda5 to sda6 and sda6 to sda7. I don't think that will work, because I think the uuids will all change [03:15] raylu: I know but I have done well with XHTML 1.0 for a couple of years, so back to the original question: Any HTML editors similar to dreamweaver? [03:15] cchen, mm let me search more hold on [03:15] isaac_: hm. no idea then. worked out of the box for me [03:15] !html | V0iD_ [03:15] V0iD_: html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build web pages. WYSIWYG editors: KompoZer (was Nvu), Iceape Composer, Amaya - Development environments: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem - For a howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com/ [03:16] V0iD_: dreamweaver isn't an html editor. a text editor is an html editor [03:16] "(hd0) /dev/sda" losher usr13 [03:16] V0iD_: you don't need dreamweaver to write xhtml === b2ke is now known as B2Kee [03:16] coz_: the first problem I've encountered is the 32-bit flash plugin complains about wrong ELF class for this module which I think it is a 64 bit module. [03:16] V0iD_: You should check out Kompozer [03:16] is that right? [03:16] cchen, are you running 64 but? [03:16] bit [03:16] sorry [03:17] LargePrime: that looks right. And so does hd(0,4) for /dev/sda5 [03:17] resizing or changing partition type changes uuid, but does not affect any other uuid on an unaltered partition. [03:17] coz_: yes I am. Jaunty 64 bit. I did have ia32libs installed and they seem to work fine [03:17] raylu: I know but I like the auto-complete and css 2.0 support! [03:17] my god im bored [03:17] cchen, I am seeing many hits in google about this but no solutions have you tried ##gnome? [03:17] Jack_Sparrow: we should be able to prove that in a moment when we run blkid [03:17] V0iD_: many text editors have autocompletion. what do you mean "css2 support?" [03:17] so reedit menu.lst to hd0,4? [03:18] Flannel: thanks but I have tried that! [03:18] anyone know some really cool commands [03:18] im having a problem booting my system. am getting error 13 invalid or unsupported executable format. no way to edit anything as i cant boot. [03:18] coz_: i did. tried to figure this out for the past weeks but no dices. it seems like gtk 2.0 for jaunty 64 bit is broken somewhere. [03:18] raylu: could i not use wine? [03:18] LargePrime: yes, re-edit menu.lst to hd0,4. [03:18] V0iD_, nothing will compare to Dreamweaver, you might as well stop looking, or maybe try getting it to work in WINE or vbox with win xp guest [03:18] losher: Well, what he did was to delete the partition after one of the windows partitions, (I'm guessing the second one), and enlarged that second one. Now if he had just made that 3rd partition very small and enlarged the 2nd one, everyting would have worked as before - therefore, I'm assuming that if he would just shrink the one he enlarged by just a small amount and put a small one back where the other one was, it should put the partitions back in the orde [03:18] V0iD_: ...what?? [03:19] coz_: this also affects chromium browser. [03:19] cchen, oh man... I have no experience with the 64 bit at all ...here...all my systems are 32 bit.... I will keep searching [03:19] cchen, yes I read a bug report about chromium as well [03:19] usr13: you can reorder the partitions in fdisk [03:19] done and saved [03:19] My default program for opening .odt and .doc files has been unassociated. how do I re-associate OOo to these file types? [03:19] usr13: bit of guesswork involved in your theory [03:20] eseven73: Finally someone who makes sense, any suggestions for using wine. [03:20] QUESTION - I'm running Ubuntu 9.04. I noticed with this version of Ubuntu, if my spare hard drive (auto mounts by UUID in /etc/fstab) that I get an error screen saying failed mount point UUID etc etc and also mentions a failed file system check. Its a black screen with white text. It gives me the option to boot if I hit CONTROL-D. Then it boots fine. If I plug the drive back in, I dont get this error. However, in 8.04 and 8.10 this d [03:20] idn't happen, I'm positive of it. Does anybody know for a fact if this was intentionally changed in 9.04 or the new Linux kernel? [03:20] V0iD_, I feel your pain, even more so because I don't even know simple HTML that well :) so I just use Kompozer [03:20] cchen, check this http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=10886 [03:20] LargePrime: usr13: we can change the hd0 numbers on the fly during boot it we need to... [03:20] cchen, sorry no solution there hold on [03:20] LargePrime: next step, 'sudo blkid' and pastebin the result [03:20] meanburrito920_: try system>preferences>prefered applications [03:21] raylu: Can you? (re-order the partitons?) [03:21] powdermilkman1: that only has Internet, Accessiblity, and Music preferences [03:21] ZeroBeholder, u there? [03:21] coz_: yep, same problems. Someone told me to hang on and wait for the updates for the Gtk. currently i can't run any gtk based 32-bit applications in jaunty. [03:21] eseven73: Thanks Dude i'm determined to get it on linux, wine seems my best option. VM would be to easy. [03:21] cchen, oh man...that's painful :( [03:21] cchen, I am still searching though [03:21] usr13: yes... but your filesystems will have to be recreated :D [03:21] usr13: losher http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/181707/ sudo blkid [03:22] V0iD_, hehe yeah there'd be no challenge with vbox you're right :D [03:22] hi, my apache2 isn't working according to netstat...can anyone help? [03:22] V0iD_, I got CS2 working in wine, if you're a photoshop junky :D [03:22] coz_: thanks coz_ for helping out. What I am trying to do now is to find out where it tells gtk to find the modules. If I can find out where the configuration file is, maybe I can tweak a little bit to let it find the 32-bit version. [03:22] using 8.10 [03:23] what would be a suitable application to voice to voice talk from ubuntu to a windows system [03:23] cchen, sounds reasonable [03:23] eseven73: I love PhotoShop ! : ) [03:23] LargePrime: ok, the uuid of the new root partition is 44af716b-8a3e-4836-b24d-120072184b33 i.e. we do not need to change it in sda5:/etc/fstab, nor in sda5:/boot/grub/menu.lst [03:23] slimjimflim: ive had that problem. use apache2ctl restart and it will [03:23] sagaci skype [03:23] V0iD_, yea cs3/4 no worky, but CS2 no prob :D [03:23] losher: ok [03:23] coz_: kind of regret of upgrading to jaunty from fedora. didn't expect an error like this. [03:24] cchen, would sudo ldconfig help? [03:24] LargePrime: similarly, the swap partition doesn't need changing in sda5:/etc/fstab. In theory, we are ready to boot...!!!! [03:24] coz_: tried that, no entries for loading module section. [03:24] V0iD_, and theres inkscape that does a fairly good job of replacing Illustrator. [03:24] cchen, darn === guest4 is now known as andre_cool [03:24] LargePrime: are you ready to try it? usr13, raylu: any last words? [03:24] eseven73: Why no CS3 / CS4? Inkscape sounds good [03:25] no clue [03:25] LargePrime: thanks [03:25] cchen, well I havent used fedora for some time so I cant speak about the differences ...you probably see them immediately [03:25] losher: yeah, why is this taking so long? [03:25] awesome. pray your gods are with me [03:25] brb [03:25] raylu: we're virgins... [03:25] losher: once again, linux is the opposite of sex. [03:26] losher: What was http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/181707/ [03:26] ? === ^root^ is now known as error404notfound [03:26] hello all [03:26] raylu: takes forever, no joy? [03:26] welcome [03:26] :) [03:26] I went away from keyboard for a few... sorry. What was http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/181707/ ? [03:26] pastebin.ubuntu ? I thought it was paste.ubuntu [03:26] coz_: i like ubuntu for the easy installation but it just happens that the 9.04 seem to have some problems i guess. it uses python2.6 instead of python2.5 in ubuntu. All my old apps were based on 2.5. So I had to do some seriously tweaking to make jaunty work. [03:26] lol [03:26] usr13: that was the output from 'sudo blkid' which lists all the current uuids the system knows about [03:26] I have an Atheros AR928X abgn wireless card I can't seam to get it to access my network [03:26] losher: no, the virgins take longer [03:27] raylu: :-) [03:27] coz_: but the fast boot up is impressive~ thanks to kernel 2.6.28 [03:27] cchen, that almost sounds useless... did you consider going back to fedora until 9.10? [03:27] cchen, oh :) [03:27] raylu: why is software like sex? [03:27] losher Please dont [03:27] LOL [03:28] Sorry... Waiting for LargePrime to report back [03:28] i am loving my ubuntu 9.04, i have it near perfect! one problem left is, i have SPDIF / iec958 working GREAT with prefect surround for aware apps like VLC and songbird, but all other apps like firefox/flash or any other standard media players, i think they are going to the analog version of my card. does anyone know how I can force all sound to go thru spdif? [03:28] losher: New to blkid :) [03:28] cchen, did you say you had all of the -dev pacakges installed for libcanberra? [03:28] coz_: well, already spent so much time tweaking jaunty. will try to stick around for a little longer. hope that doesn't happen. :-) [03:28] anyone know why my video stops playing in VLC when I resize the windows... audio keeps going but pucture freezes [03:28] cchen, understood :) [03:29] usr13: it's relatively new. Doesn't always work either. I prefer vol_id myself, but.... [03:29] ah there is a pastebin.ubuntu.com Ill be darned, always thought it was paste.ubuntu.com but there's both, I won't admit that ive been here 2 years since 7.04. LOL [03:29] coz_: yep, the whole gtk packages including dev version. [03:29] eseven73: do they both do the same thing? [03:29] cchen, ok just checking [03:29] losher: only debian thinks mature stuff is better [03:29] Anyone have a recommendation for an IDE? Preferable with regex and ftp [03:30] Doc-Saintly: eclipse? [03:30] coz_: are you using ubuntu as well? [03:30] raylu: actually, *I* think mature stuff is better. But then, I'm old myself... [03:30] cchen, yes I am but it's 32 bit [03:30] losher, yeah its a subdomain I guess Or a redirect :D [03:30] eseven73: Adobe CS4 in WINE - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=944034&page=4 [03:30] eseven73: thanks [03:30] coz_: how's everything working out so far? [03:30] * eseven73 blinks [03:30] cs4 in wine?! [03:30] cchen, no problems with the 32 bit at all [03:30] * losher thinks LargePrime has been quiet for too long [03:31] cchen, other than crappy video drivers but that is not surprising for nvidia although its not bad this time :) [03:31] V0iD_, ty Ill for sure look into that tomorrow :D [03:31] eseven73: Anytime ! = ) [03:31] Holy sex on wheels! Epic win [03:31] coz_: lol, did you use the nvidia driver for nvidia website or from ubuntu? [03:31] losher: usr13 [03:32] I'm ALIVE [03:32] LargePrime: so I *am* an expert, after all? [03:32] LargePrime: Did it work? [03:32] ya ya you don't suck [03:32] LargePrime: Cool! [03:32] awesome ubuntu vollenteers is awesome [03:32] raylu, are you alex_raylu from the forums?

You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [03:32] losher: Good work [03:32] LargePrime: I don't suck. Was there ever higher praise offered to anyone? [03:32] cchen, that is for older libcanberra but maybe [03:33] raylu, ah nvm that's alex_rayu my bad [03:33] !chroot [03:33] chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot) [03:33] losher not here my friend [03:33] hey I have Atheros AR928X Wireless Card it can see the network but it won't connect [03:33] LargePrime: amen, brothers & sisters...

[03:34] raylu thanks also [03:34] hi [03:34] cchen, this might be of interest https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=456839 [03:34] Hello [03:34] losher: Was interesting. I've not done that before. [03:35] coz_: this gave me a good idea. instead of using dkpg to force architecture install libcanberra-gtk-module, I can just extract it to /usr/lib32/gtk-2.0/modules. that way, it wouldn't break the package since the .deb version of libcanberra-gtk-module's default installation path is the same as the 64 bit [03:35] so the uuids only change when the actual partition is resized, right? [03:35] LargePrime: no [03:35] :) [03:35] Could anyone help me out here? I just dual boot installed ubuntu with windows xp and i'm having some update/mozilla issues [03:35] LargePrime: partitioning and creating filesystems are totally separate operations [03:36] howcome mine didnt change [03:36] anyone using ubuntu in a PC with an intel i810 video card? [03:36] coz_: i just had to make a note of what I've manually installed here [03:36] LargePrime: the uuid is of the filesystem and it is created when a new filesystem is created [03:36] cchen, ok if you know what you are doing :) [03:36] i have SPDIF / iec958 working GREAT with prefect surround for aware apps like VLC and songbird, but all other apps like firefox/flash or any other standard media players, i think they are going to the analog version of my card. does anyone know how I can force all sound to go thru spdif? [03:36] cchen, ah ok [03:36] Spenser: Did you use wubi? [03:36] raylu: when would it change [03:36] usr13: it's not well documented. The usual scattered over a million places thing... [03:36] coz_: one sec, let me try it now [03:36] ok [03:37] What is wibi? [03:37] !wubi [03:37] wubi [03:37] hey should I write this up and post it on the forums? [03:37] 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. [03:37] wubi* [03:37] LargePrime: like i said, it's created when a new filesystem is created [03:37] Ok, so in this case, running such an outdated and shitty kernel.. it can effect the way packages run and things are installed.. right [03:37] Ohithere: ubuntu makes modifications to the vanilla kernel [03:37] Ohithere: red hat does the same (i assume we're still talking about this?) === GhostWolf is now known as GhostWolf_ [03:38] ya [03:38] LargePrime: raylu: I can't remember if resizing changes the uuid. Strictly speaking, it should, since the uuid is unique, and a resized partition is clearly not identical to the original one [03:38] ubuntu is cool [03:38] ;o [03:38] Ohithere: then ,they make sure that their respective packages run on their respective kernels [03:38] raylu so it never changes. so repartitioning should not change it unless that partitioning forces a recreate of the FS, right? [03:38] Ohithere: that something failed is no surprise, regardless of age or version [03:38] LargePrime: exactly [03:38] LargePrime: if you write it up, I'll proofread it... [03:38] then why is it that basically every shit i try and run.. nothing works.. at all. [03:38] Void could i private chat you? [03:38] LargePrime resizing should also change the uuid [03:38] losh pm your email. [03:38] Ohithere: ... [03:38] Spenser: yep! [03:39] and i know how to install these things because ive installed them on other boxes.. [03:39] Ohithere: i juts got done explaining why it's obvious that nothing runs [03:39] !language | Ohithere [03:39] Ohithere: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [03:39] how? haha [03:39] hi all im having some issues i don't know if im at the right chan or not but is there a way i can do to get a popup or a promt to install all plugins available for firefox? [03:39] but not deleting the partition [03:39] Jack_Sparrow: no it shouldn't [03:39] but not deleting A partition [03:39] well, you didnt really explain why its not working.. so why? [03:39] V0iD_, I donno man I looked over that post about cs4 photoshop, and It looks like it requires a lot of hacking/compiling from GIT and whatnot,,, icky icky. :( [03:39] Ohithere: because the ubuntu packages are made to run on and tested against the ubuntu kernel [03:39] ah [03:39] mk [03:39] <3 [03:39] Ohithere: which has code that is different from the red hat kernel [03:40] i imagined [03:40] Ohithere: which... is what i just said [03:40] ok ok i didnt notice [03:40] Ohithere As I said earlier, we dont support a redhar kernel in ubuntu.. sorry but blame the people that supplied it to you [03:40] take it easy lol [03:40] well i know what you dont support [03:40] eseven73: I know but it might be stable ! Will give a try tomorrow. : ) [03:41] ok let me know, im in here like all day, you cant miss me :D [03:41] and that was for? [03:41] Offtopic [03:41] eseven73: Will do ! ; ) [03:41] wtf [03:41] V0iD_, I just don't talk a lot, but I am here, lurking in the bushes ;) [03:42] Guys I'm looking around for a decent laptop that'll run ubuntu out of the box. Don't need top of the line, just something solid and will last. What brands do y'all reccommend? [03:42] is there any tool to adjust the gamma on a laptop screen ? [03:42] Ohithere: in answer to you question: it's not possible to test a lot of combinations, so basically the farther away you move from a completely standard configuration, the less likely it is to have been tested, and the more likely it is to go wrong [03:42] Eklianteh: price range? [03:42] my ibm t60's screen looks horrible [03:42] Eklianteh: Dell [03:42] ok then If i want to resize windows, i need to use a windows tool? does windows have uuid like things? [03:42] eseven73: And I drift through the V0iD ! ; ) [03:42] LargePrime: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid, your ntfs partition has a uuid [03:42] LargePrime you can resize ntfs with gparted, just defrag twice before you do [03:43] what is the application again that takes screenshots? [03:43] agg here in México is almost imposible to find a laptop preinstaled with linux, and compañies like Acer sucks, the devolution cost morethan 50 dollars [03:43] raylu: Probably below $500, maybe below $1k [03:43] the default app in ubuntu [03:43] !screenshot [03:43] Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button or the File -> Acquire menu in the GIMP. [03:43] Eklianteh: Most of 'em work ok. I just installed on a Dell Latitude X300 and everything worked fine. [03:43] Eklianteh: thinkpads run $800-900 [03:43] !screenshots [03:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about screenshots [03:43] dsdeiz, there are screenshop widgets, look in panel preferences [03:44] all *buntu's have it [03:44] dsdeiz: gnome-screenshot [03:44] dsdeiz gnome-screenshot --interactive [03:44] My main focus is ubuntu, internet, 13-15" screen, OpenOffice, and a crapload of battery life. [03:44] shivraj, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=630092 [03:44] raylu Jack_Sparrow does that mean gparted takes care of the uuids? [03:44] on a NTFS ? [03:44] LargePrime Depends on what you mean by takes care of. [03:44] Eklianteh: oh. the thinkpad netbooks (forgot the series name) is cheaper [03:44] Eklianteh: But had to use a PXE server becuase there's no optical drive in the X300. Could have also have booted to a USB drive and installed from that.. but.. [03:44] LargePrime: uh... [03:44] does not break the OS? [03:45] xp/vista [03:45] LargePrime: creating a filesystem involves making the uuid and whatnot... [03:45] netbooks are too small [03:45] LargePrime If you add a partition or edit a liunux one with gparted you will need to edit things again [03:45] Could anyone help me out here? I just dual boot installed ubuntu with windows xp and i'm having some update/mozilla issues [03:45] Or maybe I'm not fully educated in everything they can do [03:45] edit my grub boot menu? [03:46] Eklianteh: they're just less powerful, smaller machines [03:46] coz_: back. nope, for some reason gtk still look for libcanberra-gtk-module.so in /usr/lib/gtk-2.0 instead of /usr/lib32/gtk-2.0. [03:46] any reported bugs in firefox? I can't get mine to load..it continually crashes upon start up [03:46] Spenser Please let people know if you used wubi to setup the dual boot. [03:46] just started happening [03:46] cchen, darn I wish I had more to offer you on this [03:46] I used a boot disk [03:46] Spenser: What's it doing? Or not doing? [03:46] LargePrime: if the uuids on the root & swap partitions change, you will need to edit your grub menu & your fstab, since they use the uuids to locate the appropriate partitions [03:46] Eklianteh: the X series is the netbook. those are 12.1 or 13.3": http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:expandcategory?current-catalog-id=12F0696583E04D86B9B79B0FEC01C087¤t-category-id=8FA114A7D9FF4F38AE8E19B36EC665A7 [03:46] Frijolie Try disabling the addons/plugins [03:46] Jack_Sparrow, how do you do that if it wont even load? [03:47] It says I do not have enough space to install updates and I cannot use Mozilla in any way shape or form [03:47] Eklianteh: wait, i lied. those are more expensive... [03:47] coz_: but the funny part here is that I do sudo apt-get remove --purge libcanberra-gtk-module to and the error's gone. [03:47] Frijolie There should be a way to use nautilus and pull them from the folder/directory [03:47] raylu, may I pm [03:47] Jack_Sparrow: raylu losher so if i resize windows, will it boot from grub? [03:47] ? [03:47] I get "Starting Firefox" on the taskbar but then the window goes away and nothing is displayed [03:47] cchen, mm and a reinstaltion does nothing right? [03:47] coz_: so far nothing broken but my theme and flashplugin still running fine [03:48] LargePrime: yes, though it'll complain the first time [03:48] Eklianteh: sure [03:48] Frijolie drop into a terminal and type firefox and look for errors [03:48] cchen, ok I am officially confused :) [03:48] I have just downloaded a torrent, and its in a .bin format.. is that what I think it is? an iso? [03:48] coz_: haha, now I don't know what this module is for anymore. hehe [03:49] Jack_Sparrow, I type "firefox" in a terminal and immediately get another prompt--nothing is displayed [03:49] cchen, :) [03:49] Hi, Im having trouble increasing my refresh rate through the xorg.conf [03:49] http://pastebin.com/m10f92c15 [03:49] Spenser: df [03:49] df? [03:49] coz_: weird, but now i seem to be able to run all my 32 bit apps... i am testing them one by one now [03:49] I know my monitor supports 120 @ 1024, can someone take a look [03:49] df [03:49] Frijolie: firefox -safe-mode [03:49] Spenser: use df to look at how much space you have (or don't have). [03:49] wait let me ask this senario. I am a new ubuntu user, i try a live cd. I like it so i do a small install. Play a bit and now i need a bigger install. like it a lot and now windows is real small and ubuntu is everything else. HOW do users follow this path without doing what i did raylu losher Jack_Sparrow [03:49] cchen, mm well if that solves it it seems like an odd solution :) [03:49] rere_c3w [03:50] does anyone know how to force sound in alsa through digital spdif instead of analog? [03:50] jackd [03:50] LargePrime: they don't. they save their large files to their windows partition [03:50] LargePrime: if you're typical, when you had windows only, you booted using the windows boot mgr (whatever it;s called). When you installed Ubuntu, the windows bootloader got replaced by grub. Now when you boot, you start grub, and one of the options grub gives you is to 'chain' to the windows bootloader so you can continue running windows if you like... [03:50] losher: ntldr [03:50] I'm sorry i am very new with this. What is df? and how do I check it [03:50] coz_: doesn't make sense to me but i was going to remove the package and reinstall the package. but after remove, everything runs great~ [03:51] actually, grub never replaces the windows bootloader, it always chains ntldr [03:51] coz_: wondering why ubuntu put that there === PuTrA_caem is now known as rEre_mUetTzzzzz [03:51] LargePrime Generally a fresh install takes very little time and we have the new user setup a sep /home and other tings to make future upgrades and backups simpler [03:51] raylu: thanks. Now can someone keep me honest about the boot sequence? [03:51] Spenser: df is a command [03:51] Spenser: run "df -hx tmpfs" in a terminal [03:51] LargePrime: you deleted a partition at some point didn't you? Most users don't do that... [03:51] cchen, ok I am not sure either but if this solves it well... you can tell others :) although it does seem a bit odd [03:51] losher: 9:51:02 raylu> actually, grub never replaces the windows bootloader, it always chains ntldr [03:51] coz_: i would test run it for a couple days and see if any more errors show up. :-) [03:52] cchen, sounds like a reasonable plan [03:52] Spenser: Just open a terminal and type df [03:52] hy [03:52] coz_: thanks coz_ for your help. ;-) [03:52] cchen: r u ^_^ [03:52] cchen, no problem except ... I didnt do anything :) [03:52] I dont know about that. A lot of factory laptops have partitoned drives [03:52] raylu: doesn't the mbr get replaced by a grub boot thing (<-- technical term) [03:52] any user installing on them would do it. thats how i did it [03:53] coz_: well, you got me to try something that works. lol [03:53] cchen, ok priase accepted then lol [03:53] coz_: haha, . [03:53] Do i need a different certificate for every virtual host site at my server due to change in cn? [03:53] cchen, i have to break here but might be back a bit later :) [03:53] Ok i typed df into the terminal, what now? [03:53] coz_: okay, man. thanks again [03:53] LargePrime: most users shrink the windows partition & then add linux root & swap. You *deleted* something. Big difference... [03:54] what would something mean when saying linux i386 ? [03:54] losher: yes. but ntldr gets chainloaded by grub all the time when booting windows [03:54] Kingsy101: i386 = old intel processor [03:55] losh but i only deleted something cause the laptop came with two partitions to begine with, and i saw this little partition hanging there and needed room on my win partition [03:55] Kingsy101: intel processors are all backwards compatible [03:55] Kingsy101: so, basically, it means 32-bit [03:55] ah right I see.. [03:55] cool [03:55] ok i got to go. hope tp see you all soon [03:55] sup ppl, I'm connecting via ftp to local network ubuntu server and its damn slow. im a linux noob, how can I check for updates etc. as I think its out of date [03:55] raylu: agreed, but before it went mbr -> ntldr -> windows, now it goes grub -> ntldr -> windows, at least that's what I thought... [03:56] im connecting over putty as root so can do command line stuff [03:56] Does 64bit Ubuntu have the same 32bit compatibility layer as windows? === Cueball|2 is now known as Cueball [03:56] V0iD_: not the same sort of animal. [03:56] * losher wonders if the 'little partition' LargPrime talks about was his recovery partition [03:56] losher: mbr -> grub -> ntldr -> windows ,yes [03:56] crap crap crap crap crap [03:56] losher: sorry, by "always," i meant "always when booting windows" [03:56] oh god [03:57] I think I messed something big up === Danni is now known as htmljunkie [03:57] Dr_Willis: Wat!

(i can name 1 app thats not 64bit compat) [03:58] hi [03:58] tes [03:58] hello ^^ [03:58] Wiseman: doesn't sound too bad. You'll need to remove them & install the right ones, and do it from the CLI, but it's not impossible... [03:58] V0iD_: if you got 4+GB ram you will want 64bit.. otherwise.. try it.. or not..

[04:02] Venport: I always use F12 [04:02] When i check system monitoring or cat /proc/meminfo i see that i have 850 ram instead of 1gb. how can i fix that? i was googlind and in ubuntu forum there was a post that says that "this is because i use 386 kernel" is that right ? [04:02] Dr_Willis: I thought u would have a serious reason. [04:02] Wiseman Ask every few minutes, but Helpme etc, just spams the channel [04:03] ed_debian: What is a pmp? [04:03] Wiseman: the last thing you said was you installed the wrong drivers. I said you'll need to remove them & install the right ones, and presumably do it from the CLI [04:03] V0iD_ We dont need more reasons to dislike wubi [04:03] portable music player. It is a cowon S9 [04:03] Ok, the long and short of it is this: I may have installed the incorrect display drivers in ubuntu. I just updated them and now I get a garbled mess when the system boots. [04:03] Basically it acts like a usb drive on linux [04:03] V0iD_: hang out in here long enough and see the dozen+ people in a here a week with wubi issues.. and you will want to avoide it also. === ivantis32 is now known as ivantis [04:03] man, my intertubes are being real flaky tonight === GhostWolf is now known as GhostWolf_ [04:04] Dr_Willis YEt another reason.. If there is a pre-existing directory called "ubuntu" in the target drive, it will be reused during the Windows installation and the full directory will be removed when uninstalling (364166). This will result in the loss of any files which were originally in that directory. [04:04] Dr_Willis, that bad?? wow I will have to test it to see the issues [04:04] What do I do? I can't get into ubuntu now. [04:04] Wiseman2: What display driver did you install? [04:04] ATI Radeon HD2400 [04:04] Jack_Sparrow | Dr_Willis: Thanks for the warning. [04:04] coz_: :) its amazing some of the things the wubi users manage to mess up. [04:04] which the spec sheet says is what my comp has [04:05] Wiseman2: Can you boot into "recovery mode" ( press escape when you see "GRUB" at boot [04:05] Wiseman2 at the blank screen after it seems to have loaded.. try ctrl-alt-F2 and see if you get a term window [04:05] hi everyone [04:05] Jordan: At grub, there is an option to go into recovery mode [04:05] fixed my stuck 640x480 screen resolution in 9.04. modeline wasnt set correctly [04:05] how to see live camera (not webcamera) on screen in ubuntu [04:06] Jack_Sparrow: assuming that works, then what? [04:06] kalsriv_: does cheese work? [04:06] I dual boot vista, so I can't have both open at the same time [04:06] Wiseman2 you will be able to install the right driver etc [04:06] dont know never tried [04:07] Jack: I would have no idea what to do once I get a terminal open [04:07] how to install cheese [04:07] kalsriv_ sudo apt-get install cheese [04:07] How do I revert back to what I had before? [04:07] Wiseman2: Wiseman2 Ctrl-Alt-F6 [04:07] !nvidia [04:07] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [04:08] Wiseman2: login with your user name and password [04:08] I'm not sure that helps me if I can't see the terminal [04:08] Wiseman2: If you boot into revery mode you should get to a menu where one of the options is to Fix X, that will probably get you to the point where you can get a GUI and come back here for help fully removing the bad drivers [04:08] QUESTION - I'm running Ubuntu 9.04. I noticed with this version of Ubuntu, if my spare hard drive (auto mounts by UUID in /etc/fstab) that I get an error screen saying failed mount point UUID etc etc and also mentions a failed file system check. Its a black screen with white text. It gives me the option to boot if I hit CONTROL-D. Then it boots fine. If I plug the drive back in, I dont get this error. However, in 8.04 and 8.10 this d [04:08] idn't happen, I'm positive of it. Does anybody know for a fact if this was intentionally changed in 9.04 or the new Linux kernel? [04:08] Wiseman2: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:08] Wiseman2 Print it while you have active connection [04:09] great ... honestly speaking I want to use it ubuntu as a backup camera on my large vehicle [04:09] well I get internet through wireless, which is through NDISWRAPPER. Would i have that if I boot into this recovery mode? [04:09] !irissi [04:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about irissi [04:09] Are there any laptop PCI-E wireless N card Drivers for Ubuntu? [04:09] !info irissi [04:09] Package irissi does not exist in jaunty [04:09] Ok, I am not spelling it right [04:09] Wiseman2: Ctrl-Alt-F6 Login with user name and password. suod rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:10] What's xorg? [04:10] that's not gonna screw anything up? [04:10] ....worse than it already is? [04:10] Wiseman2: Nope [04:11] Just do it now and then do: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [04:11] Wiseman2 cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T) [04:11] hi all... someone can help me to configure my multimedia keyboard keys in Amarok Player? [04:11] Question : i have 1gb ram but ubuntu shows that i have only 850MB. Is this common problem and is it fixable i need my ~200mb ram :) [04:11] !keys [04:11] Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [04:11] Jack_Sparrow: Why does he need to save it? It's hosed up anyway... [04:12] k hang on. [04:12] socialevil: Where is Ubuntu "showing" how much RAM you have, and are you using integrated graphics? [04:12] usr13: it's just good hygiene... [04:12] let me write this down and try it. [04:12] usr13 force of habit in case there was something else already configured in it that he will need later [04:12] agustinho, I dont use amarok .. have you tried #amarok channel ?? [04:12] my keyboard sows this problem only in amarok [04:12] my internet is slow [04:12] coz_: what the best player for you? [04:12] how to make fazt [04:12] Jordan_U, when i cat /proc/meminfo and when i use graphic system monitor and i dont know what integrated graphic is :)~ [04:13] i get only 450 kbps from rapidshare :((( [04:13] i need fastr becoz its like 4 GB of movie and im downloading five [04:13] agustinho, I use for music in Gnome rhythmbox and video mplayer which is going to sound stupid since I have no idea what amarok does :) [04:13] Jack_Sparrow: He can also do dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [04:13] socialevil: There are many Graphics cards ( all intel cards for instance ) which instead of having their own memory take a chunk out of your main RAM [04:13] Jack_Sparrow: Or gksudo displayconfig-gtk [04:14] my rhythmbox works well here... but, I need a jukebox most strong... [04:14] Are there any laptop PCI-E wireless N card Drivers for Ubuntu? [04:14] In the truth... I dont need, I want. :_ [04:14] :) [04:14] agustinho, mm there is another application name Listen [04:14] usr13 I am aware, but making a backup is standard parctice. If he has something other than the video configured he will lose it. It costs him nothing to have a backup of where he was and foolish not to do so [04:14] Jack_Sparrow: But rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf is just a cleaner way. [04:15] Jack_Sparrow: couldn't agree more... [04:15] usr13 A cleaner way .. more dangerous silly sure.. [04:15] you guys are over-nerding me === locke_ is now known as |_ocke [04:15] 'talk nerdy to me!' [04:15] I just want my ubuntu back [04:15] usr13: Jack_Sparrow: move on guys... [04:15] Wiseman2 Always make a backup before you delete a system file [04:15] hi [04:16] Jordan_U, my processor is intel my video card is ati radeon [04:16] Jack_Sparrow: xorg only uses the xorg.conf file if it exists. If it exists and is imporperly written, it is in the way and is of no value so delete it. [04:16] Wiseman, sorry I didnt see what happend? [04:16] usr13 the xorg contains more than just his video config. [04:16] Dr_Willis: Are there any laptop PCI-E intel wireless N card Drivers for Ubuntu? [04:16] V0iD_: Ath9k works with PCIe atheros pre-N cards [04:16] !netsplit [04:16] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show.

Somerset Maugham - "We know our friends by their defects rather than by their merits." [04:17] netsplit! [04:17] OMG [04:18] lol [04:18] my a$$ got split left and right [04:18] hehehe [04:18] V0iD_: it all depends on the chipset of the card i imagine. wireless works in all 3 of my laptops. [04:18] Jordan_U: Intel. Sorry [04:18] tjz: Obfuscated swearing still is, please refrain. [04:18] Dr_Willis: So no intel specific drivers [04:18] update manager says 29 updates...i opened it..it says 21 updates..4 blocked updates..what does it mean by blocked updates? === P3ngv1n-Fvck3r is now known as B3rz3rk3r [04:19] hello, i downloaded Mesa 7.4.2, and when I try to open it, it opens in expert mode. How do i counteract that? [04:19] Jordan_U, as i said my processor is intel and my video card is ati radeon (is this the case when my graphic card use the my main ram? ) [04:20] Dr_Willis: I have wireless but just wanted to know if there are any intel drivers available for ubuntu! [04:20] V0iD_: from what i gather most intel stuff works very well. [04:20] Flannel, sorry.. [04:20] socialevil, how much built in ram does your vid card have [04:20] tjz: No worries [04:20] V0iD_: you would have to check the specifci card/chipset and see how well its supported. === Floops is now known as Floopsie [04:20] hello, i downloaded Mesa 7.4.2, and when I try to open it, it opens in expert mode. How do i counteract that? [04:21] Dr_Willis: Thanks. [04:21] ok, brb [04:21] socialevil: I don't think that ATI makes any cards with shared memory, so no [04:21] FloridaGuy, i dont know. how can i see? when i lshw i see the *-pci but i dont really know what is what in that info [04:21] gonna try to unbrick my ooobooontooo [04:21] xirrin: were you msging me? I got all msg's basically auto-ignored... === Floopsie is now known as Floops [04:21] shola: What are you trying to do? [04:21] Hello everyone. I recently upgraded to Jaunty and keep getting random freezes. Where can I start looking to figure out what is going wrong? === Floops is now known as Floopsie [04:22] Jordan_U, so.. what can be the problem with my ram? why i have only 850mb instead of 1gb? [04:22] psyber, start with dmesg [04:22] properly play Regnum Online [04:22] guys why does my windows os run slow after installing ubuntu on another partition [04:22] Brando753: It just seems slow because Linux is so much faster. [04:22] Brando753: You may be running out of space on your windows partition causing more fragmentation === c is now known as charitwo [04:23] can anyone help me?? [04:23] Brando753: Did you install Linux on the same HD as your MS install? [04:23] psyber: no freezes before the upgrade? [04:23] losher: nope [04:23] yes [04:24] oh [04:24] damn [04:24] Brando753: DId you do defrag first? [04:24] error [04:24] Jordan_U: I'm trying to play Regnum Online, but I need to install Mesa then driconf [04:24] no [04:24] ERROR [04:24] Brando753: You should have.... [04:24] i need reboot my system with windows olny one [04:25] losher: my hunch is that it is that is related to display drivers. I had to edit my ect/X11/ config to get the correct screen resolution. I am using the most recent nvidia drivers [04:25] Hello. I need to know what programs and/or daemons, that come with a standard desktop edition 9.04, that run at startup, access the ~/.dmrc file, after log in [04:25] Brando753: The MS OS does a bad job of file system management. But you can just clean up a bit and it may be ok. [04:25] Actually, that's a little round-a-bout. [04:25] i need modify grub to reboot whit windows only one [04:25] nigtv: 'gdm' reads that file to determine what desktop session the user last selected.. [04:25] i have a movie here that is 700Mb but when i try to play it in VLC the only thing i see is "Use win mediaplayer"... can i see it that realy is the only content in the avi file ? [04:25] psyber: tried googling your particular model/graphics card with jaunty & freezes? [04:25] When I log in, whether into a shell or X11, I get an error message that .dmrc should have 644 permissions [04:25] nigtv: its a trival setting.. you can delete the file and it will jsut get remade next time the user logs in [04:26] lol.. Obama's dear Justice Sotomayor sounds like a butthurt welfare-b*tch from bronx [04:26] ah [04:26] Dreamglider: well, try mplayer and see === Floopsie is now known as Floops [04:26] so maybe i should back it up and remove it? [04:26] its a totally trivial error message as well [04:26] sloth: Please keep this channel on topic, and watch your language. [04:26] just a nag screen [04:26] nigtv: the thing just has 1 line in it.. nags are if you often goof up and change its permissions.. delete it.. it shouldnt matter much [04:26] Jordan_U, i am sorry for bothering you but don't you know any solution for my problem [04:26] Brando753: If you do not do defrag before shrinking the NFS partition, you run the risk of getting rid of files that may have been scattered out over the part you're planning to use for Linux partitions. [04:26] doleyb: same deal. only about 4 seconds and "use wmp" [04:27] Dr_Willis: yea, I opened it and its the same as it is on my other installs without an error, and the permissions are correct [04:27] shola: Why do you think you need to install Mesa? Are you following a guide and if so could you link to it? [04:27] nigtv: permissions on mine are --> ls -l .dmrc [04:27] -rw------- 1 willis willis 28 2009-05-26 18:00 .dmrc [04:27] hmm [04:27] lemme check that, but I think that's what mine is as well [04:27] Dreamglider: mplayer -identify filename [04:27] usr13: you're saying shrinking undefragged ntfs partitions loses files? [04:27] Jordan_U: here is the link [04:27] socialevil: I don't [04:27] socialevil, does it that command show display for you ...scroll thru it [04:28] it kind of comes about randomly, I haven't been able to attribute it to any settings being changed [04:28] losher: not yet... going through dmesg ATM. [04:28] losher: I'm not saying it will but it can. [04:28] brb [04:28] could someone help me set up: http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TransparentProxy on my Ubuntu laptop? [04:29] usr13: If that's true, it's a bug (and a fairly major one at that). I *am* willing to believe it will degrade performance though... [04:29] FloridaGuy, can i paste you on private what i am seeing [04:29] yes [04:29] usr13: will defraging now speed up windows? [04:30] shola: That post is from 2007, have you tried installing normally on the latest version of Ubuntu 9.04? [04:30] losher: It's not a bug, just a definciency. [04:30] Brando753: It might, but not for sure. [04:30] usr13: I'll remember that next time my manager tells me I have a bug to fix... [04:31] usr13: why would windows slow? [04:31] Brando753: I'm only speculating. [04:31] usr13: You don't need to defrag before resizing an NTFS partition, that's a myth. If it ever was true it is not true now [04:31] raylu: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d590a877f [04:31] OFF: Where's the best PHP channel? what'a server? thx for help... [04:31] 9.04? [04:31] Jordan_U: It was certainly true with fat16 and fat32 [04:32] elow [04:32] Jordan_U: I still have 8.10, should I re-install? [04:32] Dr_Willis: well, thats strange [04:32] I'm sorry but I'm new to Linux [04:32] the permissions you have, because ubuntu says that it should have 644, and yours isn't 644 [04:32] Im going to try it though, changed it to the same way that you have yours right now [04:33] im still thinking that it might just be best to like [04:33] Agustinho: lose 10 points for not googing for 'PHP irc channel' before asking, lose another 10 for being off-topic [04:33] i want to know about linux? [04:33] back it up and then just get rid of it [04:33] Jordan_U: While NTFS is not near as clumsy as VFAT, it still is not very good at keeping files at front of drive. [04:33] nigtv: not sure what #'s that one is.. :) i always get themconfused... [04:33] and let it try to make it again [04:33] Dreamglider: no idea. it's a long shot, but try installing ubuntu-restricted-extras [04:33] nigtv: no real need to even back it up - ive deleted mine dozens of times befor. heh [04:33] Dr_Willis: yours would be 600 i believe [04:33] joining [04:33] raylu: installed [04:33] it would be -rw-r--r-- for 644 [04:33] nigtv: thats what i was thinking. [04:33] Dreamglider: ok, no idea then :D [04:34] what's this channel about? [04:34] well im just going to delete it lol [04:34] raylu: Ok thanks [04:34] nawnyc: /topic [04:34] it has what like 10 characters in it [04:34] hi. i'm running ubuntu on a dell inspiron 1525 laptop. any idea why the handrest area - left of the touch pad would be noticeably warmer in ubuntu, compared to vista? [04:34] zeeble: do you have multiple fans [04:34] nigtv: its a laptop.. [04:34] yea [04:34] do you have more than one fan [04:34] If you don't think NTFS gets fragmented, you're living in a dream world. [04:34] i mean like [04:34] i am not sure whether it has multiple fans inside [04:35] well, that could be it i think, im still a little newbie but [04:35] ubuntu and vista run pretty differently [04:35] nigtv: you're saying the fans arent running as fast as they should? [04:35] vista is probably going to be like [04:35] shola: 8.10 might also not have the problem as it was released after that thread was made, have you tried installing normally without messing with mesa yet? [04:35] well, [04:35] YEA [04:35] Brando753: ... but I have no idea why your XP install is running slow, again, was only speculating. [04:35] i mean to say that they are heavy on different things, if one fan is near the top of the keyboard and the other is near the touchpad on the left [04:36] nigtv: having thermal problems?? [04:36] Jordan_U: yes I have, but it said I needed DirectX, and a long process of searching led me there [04:36] vista could be heavier on the one further away, and ubuntu heavier on the one closer [04:36] or lighter on visa-versa [04:36] meh. no. not that, i think. [04:36] shadeslayer: no, zeeble [04:36] Dreamglider: it does say: ERROR: Could not open required DirectShow codec wmv9dmod.dll. You need to upgrade/install the binary codecs package. So maybe google for wmv9dmoc? [04:36] cheese works [04:36] System > 'Administration' > 'Computer Janitor': Where can I find a manual for this program?

A linux binary asking you to install DirectX would be absurd [04:37] does it work on other video capture devices? [04:37] Jordan_U: everyone was saying that, and my search led me to that website [04:37] zeeble: I think I recall others saying Jaunty ran hotter than windows, something to do with fan control not being as good. Google for it? [04:38] losher: well, you can type "info computer-janitor" in a terminal [04:38] Jordan_U: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1122941 [04:38] Jordan_U: Is there such a thing as running DirectX in Linux? (Under wine or some sort of method?) [04:38] Hi all. How do I send a byte to the printer port? [04:38] info is a longer manual, man is shorter, you can also google the package, computer-janitor(-gtk) [04:38] will bring up the package page [04:38] losher: oh. let me google it up [04:39] you could have either of those, btw, either with or without -gtk [04:39] usr13: Wine implements a lot of DirectX through OpenGL but that only works for windows apps running in wine [04:39] nigtv: ? [04:39] Jordan_U: Ok thanks for the info. [04:39] usr13: np [04:40] humm nothing appears off in dmesg [04:40] losher: that would give you the manual, for the terminal [04:40] if you use a gui, then you would google it and it will bring up package detail [04:40] i need help with finding and installing a power manager on my laptop [04:40] uhm, I believe there is also a directory, outside of your home directory, that has docs, but I forget where exactly it is [04:41] Jordan_U: I was asked about that before and did not have any knowledge about it, didn't know if there was any way to use an application that required DirectX under Linux [04:41] nigtv: sorry, I didn't have a question pending. Maybe you meant this for someone else?

[04:45] Joe__: I've yet to use Dnsmasq [04:45] diagnostic: well unless you are running arch linux it a virtual machine inside ubuntu, you are in the wrong channel i think [04:46] g2g bye [04:46] kalsriv_: No, some tuners work and some don't. mythtv has a list of tuners known to work www.mythtv.org [04:46] Joe__: can you tell what the client is not getting? nameserver IP or ?? [04:46] !mythtv [04:46] mythtv is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV - For discussion and specific support, try #ubuntu-mythtv [04:46] Joe__: Can you ping an outside IP? [04:46] coz_: usually 64 bit isn't a big issue here because i could run 32 bit apps just as well as running on a 32 bit linux when I have the right lib32 stuffs in it. besides, i have 8GB of ram. :-) [04:46] any books you recommend for linux beginners? [04:47] cchen, oh ok [04:47] my /home is mounted to a 900GB ext3 partition. to date I haven't used more than 150GB of it. if I boot into a liveCD/USB session and use Gparted, can I resize this partition (shave about 50-60GB off it) without risking my data? [04:47] diagnostic: oh... that's not a good choice for starting with linux [04:47] thanks for the answer [04:47] diagnostic: it gives you full power.. and they admit that with power comes responsibility [04:47] Joe__: Can it ping 206.190.60.37 [04:47] ? [04:47] coz_: running several virtual machines all together, the 64 bit has been robust stable. [04:47] cchen, did you see that link I gave you for the bug report? there is a patch there but have no idea if it works [04:48] coz_: oh, the clock applet... let me check gconf-editor here [04:48] usr13 nope, only thing I can seem to ping is the other machine [04:48] s1gmab3ta: of course. [04:48] s1gmab3ta: though grub will warn you to back up your data, i have yet to lose any data. [04:48] raylu: grub? [04:48] cchen, and here at the bottom http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1142518.html [04:48] one I'm trying to share from is 10.0.0.1, windoze is 10.0.0.8 They can ping each other, but .8 can't get out [04:48] little underground worms [04:49] s1gmab3ta: s/grub/gparted [04:49] raylu: gotcha [04:49] s1gmab3ta: it should work fine, but nothing matches the glowing feeling of having that 150G backed up to a separate drive somewhere... [04:49] usr13 on the client it seems to have gotten a different DNS server, not my machine too [04:49] haha [04:49] losher: yeah, you're right [04:50] Joe__: What is the output of "route -n" on the client machine? [04:50] coz_: woo~ it works. thanks... activate Extra in appearance... [04:50] Joe__: show us your ipmasq line you are using to share [04:50] more question [04:50] cchen, cool [04:50] coz_: you are resourceful~ [04:50] what is vmware [04:50] s1gmab3ta: disk has never been cheaper. Why take the chance if the data are precious... [04:50] !vmware | kalsriv_ [04:50] kalsriv_: VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware === mateo_au_ is now known as mateo_au [04:50] cchen, I just use google as well as possible i guess :) [04:50] Joe__: Are you using dhcpd? And have you entered a nameserver IP in dhcpd.conf ? [04:50] Hello! [04:50] How can i start a live ubuntu from usb ? [04:50] usr13 I tried following directions I found on the forums... they had no special ipmasq lines to use [04:50] kalsriv_: vmware is virtualization software, lets you run another operating system in a window. its also wildly expensive. [04:51] virtual box is really nice IMHO [04:51] kalsriv_: vmware is for virtual machine kind of like running windows or other os in your linux side by side sharing your hardware resources. [04:51] usr13 yes, I have dhcpd... don't think I put anything in there [04:51] do you need to buy an os to run on virtualbox [04:51] coz_: super googler~ [04:51] !usb | djszapi [04:51] djszapi: 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 [04:51] cchen, :) did any other problems come up by removing libcanberra yet? [04:51] Joe__: You need to edit /etc/dhcpd.conf [04:51] kalsriv_: virtualization software creates a "virtual machine." you run this machine like you do any real one... did you need to buy an OS to run on your real machine? [04:52] Jordan_U Client is windoze, route -n doesn't seem to be a valid command [04:52] coz_: so far so good. I even did a reboot to see if any errors come up === _Siegfried is now known as Siegfried [04:52] cchen, cool and odd at the same time :) [04:52] usr13 ok, what should change/be added there? [04:52] coz_: i know~ weird [04:52] i have totally replaced windows with ubuntu [04:52] usr13 looks like there is something already in there from when I tried firestarter [04:53] do not have xp or vista at all [04:53] Joe__: If you haven't setup your dhcpd.conf then you won't have a default gateway on the client, which is what I was trying to check [04:53] Joe__: Good, firestarter usually does a pretty good job. [04:53] but soem of my work related softwares have windows dependency [04:53] just dd to usb the 9.04 can't work ? [04:53] Joe__: In fact, firestarter has worked every time for me. [04:53] so when i bring work home i need it [04:54] coz_: ops, phone.. brb [04:54] usr13 it all looks good... minus the line that says ip_forwarding off [04:54] cchen, ok [04:54] Joe__: Are you sure you do not have another DHCP server on this LAN? [04:54] kalsriv_: virtualization doesn't mean you're getting rid of windows, you'll have to install windows in the VM just like on a real machine [04:54] Joe__: Does it have a DNS server and Default gateway set? [04:55] usr13 there is on the main one, differnt ip range (which is why I choose 10.0.0.x) [04:55] kalsriv_: in short, yes, you still need a licensed copy of windows to run it under vmware/virtualbox/qemu [04:56] Joe__: What he meant was, is there another DHCP server on the same network as the client you are trying to share to [04:56] usr13 no gateway, but there is option domain-name-servers... but I don't recognize the name [04:56] Joradn_U definately not, there's only the two boxes [04:56] thanks I will ask one copy from my employer [04:56] Joe__: As Jordan_U says, you also need a DNS server running, like dnsmasq but I think you already have that running, right? [04:56] usr13 yes, it's running [04:57] so which one out of qemu or virtualbox do you recommend [04:57] usr13 the domain-name-server option in dhcpd.conf, should that be localhost, or eth0's ip? [04:57] Joe__: Then that machine's IP needs to be listed there on the option domain-name-server line. [04:57] ok [04:58] coz_: back [04:58] kalsriv_: fwiw, I went with virtualbox and have encountered zero problems. [04:58] do I restart anything after that change? [04:58] ok [04:58] Hello, I am new to ubuntu and am trying to stream from XBMC to my PS3.... My PS3 can see the server and folder structure of things shared but it does see any of the files in the folders. In Vista I currently do this with TVersity and it works fine. Anyone know how to fix this in XBMC [04:58] Joe__: Because you have the caching dns server running on that machine and it will resolve domain names for the client. [04:58] Joe__: Yes, you have to restart dhcpd [04:59] Joe__: /etc/init.d/dhcdbd restart [05:00] quick question i need to know what drive to boot from for instance the hdc1 or 2 or whatever using terminal how do i find that out? [05:00] Joe__: Was the [05:00] coz_: what processor do you have? [05:00] Joe__: Was the option routers line listing it's own IP address ? [05:01] cchen, well as embarassing as this is I only have a 3 gighz pentium on this system [05:01] yes [05:01] scared myself for a second there! My /dev was majory messed up! I logged in and had no sound card at all! using the gnome-panel at all froze the system (shit was bad). I went to that udev rule I was working on and commented the entire thing. Restarted and now everything is fine :) [05:01] jr_: What are you trying to do exactly? You probably want to run "sudo grub" then within the grub shell run " [05:01] Joe__: That may do it. Now just tell the client to ipconfig /release ipconfig /reload or what ever.... [05:02] jr_: "find /boot/grub/stage_1" [05:02] question, is there an easy way to reinstall /bin files? [05:02] coz_: nothing to be embarassing about. pentium 4 still a good processor [05:02] hello all! [05:02] i just deleted my /bin by accident [05:02] where can I find out what kind of computers can use Ubuntu? [05:02] Joe__: Or repair. [05:02] Quick question for everyone, apt-get is showing a mysql version of 5.0.6.7 but the Ubuntu website is showing current version as 5.0.7.5 and I'm not sure what im doing wrong =/ [05:02] usr13: Didn't work [05:02] uname -a reports: Linux DevBOX 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Aug 20 17:53:40 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linu, does this mean its running a 64bit kernel? [05:02] coz_: I was curious about why you haven't tried the 64 bit version but you've answered my question. :-) [05:02] Joe__: But your ipmasquerade may not be working. [05:02] halp [05:03] basically i get a notification claiming that i have a .local domain configured and since this is not a good idea according to Ubuntu, it has been disabled. wireless network works otherwise. i would like to get rid of this [05:03] Wiseman: What? [05:03] anyone? [05:03] joshthecoder: Sort of, if you extract all of the packages you currently have installed I think that will work [05:03] jordan_u: i have to reinstall windows which is gonna wipe my grub out and so i will have to reinstall grub from the ubuntu live cd but in installing grub i don't remember what my drive name is [05:03] lol [05:03] thanks folks [05:03] !grub | jr_ [05:03] jr_: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [05:03] Jordan_U, yeah i was thinking their might be a core package [05:03] I reboot, grub menu shows up where I pick what kernel version / OS I want to run. Ctrl+alt+f6 does nothing there, before, or after it. [05:03] cchen, oh well I had a 64 bit board a while back Asus and couldnt get it to run properly so I just chucked it and went back to 32 bit which is more stabke for my needs [05:04] Joe__: You might need: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward [05:04] actually I take it back [05:05] Joe__: And then: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE -o eth0 -s 192.168.1.0 # Edit to suit your LAN IP [05:05] Anyone free to help enlighten me? :P [05:05] Hey all... i've got a script being run in a ModPerl::Registry environment, with PerlOptions +ParseHeaders, but it's still spitting headers to the output instead of parsing them... any additional tweaking anyone can think of? [05:05] ? [05:05] SectorX4, On what? [05:05] usr13: [05:05] it doesn't work. [05:05] ctrl+alt+f6 does nothing [05:05] coz_: i see. [05:05] ed_debian apt-get is showing a mysql version of 5.0.6.7 but the Ubuntu website is showing current version as 5.0.7.5 and I'm not sure what im doing wrong =/ [05:05] Joe__: And where eth0 is connected to the LAN [05:05] except when I get all the way to the garbled screen, it reboots the system instantly [05:05] Wiseman: Have you tried booting into recovery mode and choosing the "Fix X" option? [05:06] haven't tried that. [05:06] eth0 is the internal one? [05:06] SectorX4, Go to your system -> preferences -> software sources [05:06] usr13 or internet facing? [05:06] I guess I'll give that a shot [05:06] ed_debian I'm running it on a headless box [05:06] brb one way or another. [05:06] headless?? [05:06] So im using apt-get from ssh [05:06] Wiseman: Please do, that should get you to the point that you can get a GUI and come back here to fully remove the bad drivers [05:07] It's acting as a web serve [05:07] Joe__: The above line assumes that eth0 is connected to the LAN (client(s) [05:07] oic no gui [05:07] Yup [05:07] headless = no monitor [05:07] then you need to edit your sources.list [05:07] usr13 ok, I'll try that [05:07] Am I seeing the version difference due to the repository im using? [05:07] usr13 client still isn't showing 10.0.0.1 as DNS [05:07] Any chance anyone in here is streaming from XBMC on ubuntu pc to their PlayStation 3? [05:08] seems apt-get is busted w/o /bin [05:08] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SourcesList [05:08] think i'll just install a fresh copy of ubuntu 9 (currently running 8.10) [05:08] SectorX4, The sources list defines not only what repos but how new you want your packages to be [05:08] i was under the impression that xbmc was to be run on the xbox itself but tbh my xbox is still stock. [05:09] joshthecoder: I don't know of a better way to recover from the loss of /bin except to reinstall... [05:09] So the version difference im seeing is standard for the default source respository? [05:09] Joe__: In your dhcpd.conf you have: option domain-name-servers 10.0.0.1 ? [05:09] you can enable a upnp server in it. Which I have. My PS3 sees the server and file structure but thinks the folders I am sharing are empty [05:09] SectorX4, That is my best guess yes. [05:10] losher, yeah [05:10] i was being lazy and not experimenting in a VM instead :\ [05:10] ed_debian I have had a look at editing the sources list before..I came across a page on theUbuntu docs referring to a security source list which preferred security over stability [05:10] SectorX4, BTW just because 5.7.whatever is out doesn't mean it's better or that the ubuntu developers think it's ready for ubuntu. they might not offer it [05:10] coz_: thanks for your help. I will be back later. [05:10] But I can't find the page again [05:10] joshthecoder: been there.... [05:10] cchen, ok guy :) [05:10] Does anyone know how to use a phone as a modem? I've searched all over the place and I can't seem to get it. I'm using an HTC Touch Pro. [05:10] ed_debian yeah I figure there's a reason it's at that version [05:10] SectorX4: what version OS are you currently running, btw> [05:11] i could maybe restore from cd [05:11] losher 8.10 [05:11] SectorX4, I can't remember the gui off the top of my head but I know you can select "security updates only", "backports", and 1 or 2 others [05:11] Hello, how can I do port forwarding in order to be able to for example pass an ssh request through an intermediate computer ? [05:12] ed_debian yeah I did read a few pages in regards to how the gui works to try and figure it out [05:12] Does anyone know how to use a phone as a modem? I've searched all over the place and I can't seem to get it. I'm using an HTC Touch Pro. [05:12] I mean whatever happens in ubuntu gui has to have a cli equivilent :P [05:12] Joe__: And you restarted dhcpd ? /etc/init.d/dhcdb restart [05:12] I found it on one of the links from the page I posted earlier [05:12] the command grub-reboot dont work on ubuntu 9.04 [05:13] why? === joshthecoder is now known as joshthecoder_afk [05:13] usr13 yes [05:13] In the end I just want to make sure that the box has a secure version of php/mysql and apache2.2 [05:13] release, release-security, release-updates, release-backports, devel [05:13] Jordan_U: Thanks bro [05:13] it workede [05:13] after about 10 minutes, my screen fades to black and stays like that, is there anyway to stop this to just make it stay like normal [05:13] but I don't know if it just put my old drivers back on or if it configured the new ones. [05:13] SectorX4, How much do you trust the ubuntu developers? [05:13] dw found it [05:13] Joe__: You may also have a rc.firewall file left over from firestarter that is being used in addition to the script you are writing by hand. [05:13] ed_debian Ah ok, can't see anything under https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine regardin g release-security [05:13] Does anyone know how to use a phone as a modem? I've searched all over the place and I can't seem to get it. I'm using an HTC Touch Pro. [05:14] juli4n: Do you have Default set to saved? ( Not sure if that's a requirement but it seems reasonable ) [05:14] usr13 where is it located? [05:14] wiseman1: np [05:14] ed_debian hmmm I dunno...I see what you're saying though [05:14] wiseman1: It is just using the "old" drivers [05:14] Joe__: Probably /etc/rc.firewall But not sure. [05:14] Jordan_U: yes i do [05:14] SectorX4, Yeah if the gui can do it then certainly sources.list can do it [05:15] Jordan_U: Hrm [05:15] How do I reload hosts? [05:15] Does anyone know how to use a phone as a modem? I've searched all over the place and I can't seem to get it. I'm using an HTC Touch Pro. [05:15] usr13 I'll look for that... bah, son awake, time to feed him [05:15] but as I understand it the old open source drivers I'm using is the reason I can't get WINE to run Half Life 2 [05:15] which is the whole reason behind all of this. [05:15] Jordan_U: i need reboot only one time with windwos [05:15] ed_debian what do you think...about switching to release-security as opposed to how it is by default? [05:15] Does anyone know how to use a phone as a modem? I've searched all over the place and I can't seem to get it. I'm using an HTC Touch Pro. [05:15] Like remove the cache of hosts and what they trace to [05:16] I just updated a domain, and my computer isn't picking it up, although my server is [05:16] wiseman1: What GFX card do you have and what drivers did you install / how? [05:16] SectorX4, back when I ran ubuntu I was on release updates (which includes all the security) this page is a little misleading (the gui is less so). Each of the option as you go down include all the packages from the previous as well [05:16] It's not like release-backports leaves the release security packages old [05:16] amseidler1: you mean connecting to the phone and using it's data access plan? [05:17] ivantis: Yes === amseidler1 is now known as amseidler [05:17] amseidler1: I've done that with my phone, an HTC Dream [05:17] hey al [05:17] all [05:17] amseidler: what OS is the phone running [05:17] SectorX4: So which url did you go to that made you think that mysql 5.0.7.5 is the latest for 8.10 ? [05:17] ivantis: Windows Mobile 6.1 [05:17] amseidler: google it. I can't help ya [05:17] Joe__: find /etc -name *firewall* -type -f [05:17] quick partition question for you guys [05:18] It seems after upgrade to jaunty, my symlink to gcc alternatives changed [05:18] ivantis: Been googling for the last 20 minutes [05:18] losher http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/mysql-server [05:18] Nothing over here, too [05:18] might have found something [05:18] BeatlesFan, What is it? [05:18] I have 80GB hard drive which I let Ubuntu install as primary partition and root takes up the entire partition [05:18] amseidler: search for a tethering application [05:18] Although I release thats for Jaunty [05:18] Joe__: find / -name *firewall* [05:18] ivantis: I'm lost after tethering [05:18] BeatlesFan, What is the question? [05:18] can I go back to my live CD and resize it to something smaller and then create a new partition with the free space? [05:18] or do I have to reinstall? [05:18] BeatlesFan, yes absolutely [05:19] amseidler: http://www.futureofrealestatetechnology.com/laptops/how-to-tether-your-windows-mobile-phone-to-your-laptop/ [05:19] BeatlesFan, you can resize it [05:19] amseidler: try out that article [05:19] ed_debian: so i can reboot with live cd and resize it without hurting "/" or root? [05:19] BeatlesFan, You can resize all you want as long as you don't re-arrange there isn't even any configuration needed [05:20] okay so, can anyone advice me with this .local domain issue, no? [05:20] ed_debian: I don't have to defrag? [05:20] SectorX4: if you go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/mysql-server the latest version on intrepid is still at 5.0.67 i.e. your apt-get is working as designed. [05:20] juli4n: What happens when you try to use grub-reboot? Does it give you an error or just not set the default? [05:20] BeatlesFan, Describe your had drive partitions to me [05:20] henux: What? [05:20] how many? what size? what are they used for? [05:20] jordan: sorry [05:20] hi i need help with kde-neon [05:20] Jordan_U: My card is an ati radeon Hd2400 mobile [05:20] losher Any reason that intrepid would be different then jaunty? [05:21] usr13: everytime i login to ubuntu 9.04 and when network manager connects to a wireless, i get a notification explaining that i have a .local domain configured and this is supposed not to be a good idea and thus it's has now been disabled [05:21] usr13: i would like to know how to get rid of that [05:21] Jordan_U: just set defaul [05:21] ed_debian: I have one primary partition, it's ext3 and it has ALL of the dirs and subdirs on it, then there's two smaller partitions for swap and one for something else I need to look up [05:21] I don't know how to find out what drivers I currently have, Jordan_U [05:22] SectorX4: it's typical I'd say. Since intrepid is still supported, if there were a serious security hole, a patch would be backported. Otherwise, no-one will bother [05:22] Jordan_U: do i need uncomment this line #savedefault=false?? [05:22] wiseman1: What drivers did you install / how? [05:22] anyone on kde-neon?? [05:22] So since intrepid is the old(ish) release it only gets security backports that are critical? [05:22] Those three fill the entire drive? [05:23] I installed the ATI Radeon HD2400 Linux drivers from the .run script [05:23] yes [05:23] the drive isn't full though [05:23] ATI has them available on their website [05:23] ivantis: There's no other easy way to do this? [05:23] my concern is that maybe the HD2400 and the HD2400 mobile are not the same thing. [05:23] ed_debian: but those are the only partitions defined on the drive [05:23] juli4n: Where is that line, or rather could you pastebin your entire /boot/grub/menu.lst ? [05:23] BeatlesFan, Yeah I understand the partitions cover the drive but the partitions themselves aren't full of data [05:23] ed_debian: right [05:23] SectorX4: per http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Intrepid#Upgrading_Hardy_to_Intrepid, Intrepid Ibex is NOT an LTS (Long Term Support) release. It will be supported with security updates until April 2010. [05:23] BeatlesFan, What do you plan to do [05:23] amseidler1: you should install Android on your phone, there are already really simple tethering applications made just for it [05:24] Shrink /dev/sda1? [05:24] amseidler1: if that's an option for you [05:24] hello [05:24] wiseman1: Can you remove them via the same script? [05:24] ed_debian: I wanted to create another partition on the drive [05:24] Damned if I know. [05:24] Jordan_U: this line is comment in /boot/grub/menu.lst [05:24] there was a .run script, I used a ./ to run it, bob's your uncle [05:24] * shadeslayer plans to update to alpha1 [05:24] ed_debian: so i can move my music to that partition [05:24] BeatlesFan, where though? Begining? End? which partitions do you wanna shrink? [05:24] amseidler1: join #android and ask if it's supported for your type of phone [05:24] ?? [05:24] ed_debian: in case something happens to root and I have to reinstall [05:24] it performed some witchcraft, said it completed successfully and recommended I restart. [05:24] ivantis: It should be. [05:25] ed_debian: I won't lose my music, pics, etc.. [05:25] usr13: no? [05:25] heloooooo? [05:25] amseidler1: I highly recommend it [05:25] juli4n: But it matters where specifically because if could either be a comment or an option for update-grub depending on what line it's on. If you can please pastebin the entire file [05:25] ivantis: Can you get me their site? [05:25] ed_debian: I want to shrink the primary down to something like 20GB [05:25] amseidler1: join #android [05:25] and create a logical extention with the rest [05:25] losher sorry I don't understand what that has to do with the differening mysql versions [05:25] anybody here have megaman starforce zerker x ninja here? [05:26] Well BeatlesFan I don't think you realized it but you've stumbled upon a very good idea. In fact many linux users set up their systems (including myself) with a separate /home partition [05:26] ed_debian: I realized it after the fact though [05:26] :D [05:26] Jordan_U: Any ideas? [05:26] BeatlesFan, Yeah a lot of them do (including me again) [05:26] exit [05:26] wiseman1: Try running it again and see if there is an option to uninstall ( if there isn't then just exit, don't try to re-install it ) [05:27] BeatlesFan, I suggest doing the move slowly. Do you already have a lot of data on your main partition in your /home? [05:27] losher is the version of mysql the last supported (due to the compatability changes mentioned on the page you linked) version for Intrepid? [05:27] ed_debian: no, I don't have any yet [05:27] ed_debian: I have a few files that I want to save I can move those to my 2nd hard drive [05:27] Jordan_U: terminal is doing its witchcraft [05:28] nope, only option is to install. [05:28] ed_debian: which has /media/backupdrive as it's mount point [05:28] Then we have 2 options (and low stress). First you can repartition yourself and edit /etc/fstab manually or you can reinstall the OS and set it up how you want it on a fresh install [05:28] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/m3ebdfe16 [05:28] SectorX4: Ubuntu generally releases every 6 months. Older releases are either retired (no more support) or supported, which usually means critical fixes only for the older releases, and continuous updates for the latest release. So something like mysql won't get updated in an older release unless there is a serious problem. This makes the release stable but not as up-to-date. You can't really have both at the same time. Unless there is [05:28] some fix you specially need in a later version of mysql, it shouldn't be an issue [05:29] BeatlesFan, Any questions? [05:29] ed_debian: will gpart let you set mount points at install? [05:29] ivantis: Why does Ubuntu say "auto eth1" connected when there's no internet connection behind it? [05:29] Jordan_U: look the line 129 [05:29] ed_debian: maybe I asked that wrong [05:29] i need kde 4.3 B1 how do i install it?? [05:29] BeatlesFan, Try again lol [05:29] losher Ah ok...just read a bit more about LTS and how updates work for it [05:29] ed_debian: can I specify mount points during the install? [05:29] anybody know what the size limit for ubuntu-one is going to be?? [05:30] SectorX4: good. Soon you'll be an expert... [05:30] amseidler1: I think it's recognizing the ethernet card [05:30] BeatlesFan, If you reinstall during the partitioning part you can hit manual and do it all yourself and yes specify your own mountpoints [05:30] ivantis: How useless... [05:30] losher So these security fixes that I have seen on the MySQL site...any idea what will quality them for a backport? depends on severity I suppose? [05:30] amseidler1: it would recognize it without needing to be connected [05:30] ed_debian: so I can set /home to be on a different partition at install? [05:30] ivantis: So the only way I'll be able to use my phone as a modem is if I use android? [05:30] yes [05:30] ed_debian: ahh [05:31] juli4n: You should not uncomment that ( it's actually not just a comment, it controls update-grub ) [05:31] I would just like to know what the rule on security backports is, obviously features are not backported due to stability but just not sure what I should expect from 8.10 in that regard [05:31] amseidler1: you could do it the windows mobile way, but I would suggest Android, because it would be easier [05:31] ed_debian: using the manual partition option? [05:31] BeatlesFan, You'll need a / (root) a linux-swap and you want a /home [05:31] losher I have tried to read up as much as I could before I came in here and asked :P [05:31] amseidler1: does your phone have a lot of important stuff on it? [05:31] BeatlesFan, Yes [05:31] ivantis: Yes [05:31] Im using two monitors, I have it setup to use a seperate x session for monitor 2, i need monitor 2 to NOT use compiz and monitor ones x-session TO use compiz, anyone know how to do this? [05:31] ed_debian: ok... that "sounds" easy enough [05:32] What is the easiest way to dual-boot vista-64 and 9.04? I have the live cd [05:32] Jordan: let me see if it is more correct to install a driver for a mobile gpu rather than a standard HD2400 [05:32] amseidler1: There is probably a way to tether your phone as is [05:32] amseidler1: you could probably make a back up and install Android without losing any information [05:32] ed_debian: if my 2nd drive is already partitioned and has amountpoint, will that be lost during the reinstall? [05:32] http://lifehacker.com/5224586/first-look-at-ubuntu-904-jaunty-jackalope [05:32] hi, I just installed ubuntu for the first time [05:32] ivantis: I don't want to use android. Getting a new phone anyways [05:32] usr13 I see two, both named firewall under ..../firestarter/ [05:32] ivantis: think the palm pre will give me this much trouble? [05:32] About 1/8 of the way down the page is a good picture of the manual install and you can see "Mount Point:" [05:33] amseidler1: but Android is awesome! [05:33] ed_debian: ok, thanks [05:33] Jordan_U: my problem is: i need reeboot with windows one time but remotely, the next reboot i need the default options. the default options is ubuntu [05:33] wiseman1: Don't install any more drivers unless you use System > Administration > Hardware Drivers to do it ( and you should probably uninstall the old drivers before you do that ) [05:33] amseidler1: the palm pre probably won't even let you tether, at all [05:33] ivantis: great [05:33] Well how do I uninstall the old drivers? [05:33] ivantis: looks like I won't be using internet with my new phone. hah [05:33] SectorX4: I dont find your questions unreasonable. I admit I don't actually know what Ubuntu's policy on backports is. I do know that there are independent bodies who make determinations about security problems. http://www.cert.org/ publishes software advisories for this kind of thing... [05:33] in system>administration>hardware drivers there's only three options there. [05:33] BeatlesFan, The mount point of your second HDD is something saved in your current OS if you reinstall the OS it will be lost. Although IDK how ubuntu handles 2nd harddrives probably auto-detects them and mounts them for you [05:33] amseidler1: maybe you should just get an HTC Dream [05:33] we're looking to use it as a server to run high-demand statistical analyses for a university statistics department [05:33] wiseman1: Researching that right now :) [05:33] If not it's a simple /etc/fstab addition [05:34] ivantis: no way. palm pre all the way [05:34] so it needed server capabilities and I installed ubuntu server [05:34] Jordan: Hrm, I clicked then unclicked on the ATI Driver checkmark and it now says "uninstalling software" [05:34] ed_debian: I want to move some files there , I should be able to recover them... [05:34] BeatlesFan, The data / partitions on your second drive will not be affected at all [05:34] losher no problem, at least we've confirmed that apt-get is working as it should and that I will get updates should an exploit be discovered [05:34] amseidler1: what ev [05:34] brb, need restart. [05:34] ed_debian: it makes sense that they should be ok [05:34] BeatlesFan, To be extra sure, move your files there and disconnect it while you reinstall your os [05:35] ed_debian: checked the lifehacker page... it's all straightforward [05:35] ed_debian: nah, don't feel like cracking open the case [05:35] but it'd also be nice to have a gui on the machine itself that can be turned on when it's needed for direct use by someone who's not good at navigating the command line and left off when the increase in performance is more desirable [05:35] juli4n: If you can't figure out how to get grub-reboot to work and you are desparate you could install an ext2 driver in windows and modify the /boot/grub/default manually ( which is warns against doing... ) [05:35] ed_debian: I like to live dangerously [05:35] :D [05:35] so what's the best way to install a nice gui on ubuntu server that doesn't start from boot? [05:35] BeatlesFan, I did the same exact proceedure with debian so don't worry [05:35] ed_debian: cool [05:35] SectorX4: agreed. Plus, a serious security hole is generally big news "in the trade". They don't go unnoticed... [05:36] yelyos: #ubuntu-server [05:36] k [05:36] I was switching from ubuntu to debian and ubuntu dual boot and changing to a separate home partition all onto a new harddrive I got [05:36] losher Yeah I keep up to date on security flaws [05:36] I was juggling partitions like I had the hand of a spider [05:36] hello. how do i install flash fo 64 bit hardy heron? [05:36] ed_debian: heh [05:36] does anybody here use firestarter? [05:36] ed_debian: my other option is to wait until my 250GB drive arrives [05:36] Jordan_U: I dont like this options but it is the only way [05:36] BeatlesFan, Just do it slowly and make sure each step is right before goign on [05:37] ed_debian: which should be tomorrow or the next day [05:37] losher The release-security branch is that something I should maybe look into? [05:37] BeatlesFan, Linux users usually aren't patient enough lol [05:37] Jordan_U: thankx for help me [05:37] juli4n: It might be made a little less dangerous if you use grub-set-default... [05:37] ed_debian: which brings me to another question [05:37] SectorX4: Dunno. If you're that concerned, check out www.openbsd.org ... [05:37] juli4n: wait before you go [05:37] yes... [05:37] Jordan_U: sorry my english is bad i speak spanish [05:37] losher haha I used to run FreeBSD :) [05:37] ed_debian: I'm getting a 250GB drive...I have an existing 80GB and 40GB [05:38] yeah.. [05:38] ed_debian: I was thinking to use the 80GB as my primary [05:38] does anyone know how to install flashplayer for 64bit hardy heron? the package manager won't let me [05:38] ed_debian: and the 250GB as my 2nd [05:38] edogzilla: do it manually? Put the plugin in the firefox plugin folder. [05:38] losher I suppose my other question is whats the 'best' way to automate apt-get checking? cron job or is there something inbuilt in Ubuntu to check/install updates from shell? [05:39] edogzilla: that's how I had to do it in slackware [05:39] ed_debian: what would be the best use of these drives? [05:39] zenxr: how do i do that? [05:39] edogzilla: hold on, K? :) [05:39] Jordan_U: Hey [05:39] zenxr: k === DodgerDog is now known as DodgerDog^Gym [05:39] juli4n: It might be made a little less dangerous if you use grub-set-default to create a /boot/grub/default pointing to ubuntu, back that up, then use grub-set-default to create a default pointing to windows so that in windows you would just be swapping the file instead of editing it, but not knowing why there is a warning about editing it I am not sure if that really makes it any safer [05:40] Jordan_U: in windows i only modify the default option in /boot/grub/menu.lst but in ubuntu i will use grub-set-defaul and i will have a back up [05:40] Jordan_U: Ok, It looks like it removed all display drivers because now i have a jacked up screen. flickery, lines running through it, etc [05:40] edogzilla: this should help -> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/adode-flash-player-how-to-install-625274/ [05:40] this is how it was when I FIIIIIRST put linux on this machine [05:40] but my geeky linux friend fixed it. [05:40] SectorX4: if you run gnome, the update manager will nag you from the panel when there are new updates. Otherwise, you can run update-manager periodically (weekly?) [05:40] ed_debian: I'm also getting a Geforce 7600 512MB graphics card. [05:40] I need help on my dual boot of vista and ubuntu [05:40] wiseman: What have you done since it was working? [05:40] losher this is on a webserver I manage remotely so no gnome :) [05:41] BeatlesFan: I just bought a new gfx card today, and it doesn't fit my motherboard :[, I feel really dumb. [05:41] zenxr: whats slackware? [05:41] zenxr: what slot?? [05:41] zenxr: AGP or PCI-e? [05:41] I clicked and unclicked on the box marked "ATI Accelerated graphics driver" in hardware drivers [05:41] KDE 4.3 anyone? [05:41] I think last time I checked I had a cron job running update-manager [05:41] edogzilla: it's another linux system, like ubuntu, but a bit more uhh, user extensive [05:41] edogzilla: Slackware is just another distro like RedHat [05:41] can someone here help me with my dual boot of vista and ubuntu? [05:42] BeatlesFan: it's a PCI but I need the x16 slot, I don't have one :\ [05:42] SectorX4: You can run update-manager if you have X11. Otherwise, just 'apt-get update' should download any pending updates [05:42] !apt [05:42] 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) [05:42] zenxr: will it work in ubuntu if i do what that link says? [05:42] cchap07: what's up? [05:42] cchap07: go on [05:42] yeah, the file names won't be exactly the same though [05:42] edogzilla: See slackware.com [05:42] BeatlesFan, Go pci-e [05:42] zenxr: i had vista originally and I wanted to get into ubuntu so on my second hardrive I installed unbuntu and now I cant boot into vista [05:42] it's faster and AGP is getting out-dated [05:42] BeatlesFan: GeForce 9400 GT, 1024mb DDR2 :] [05:43] zenxr: yeah, didnt work at all [05:43] ed_debian: don't have the option, my MB doesn't have PCI-e [05:43] losher so just have that run through cron? [05:43] cchap07: can you see it in GRUB? [05:43] edogzilla: the file names aren't exact, how about we open a private window? [05:43] BeatlesFan, Then go AGP what choice do you have? [05:43] I have 2 PCI slots and one AGP 8x [05:43] zenxr: go for it [05:43] wiseman: Then going back to recovery mode and the "Fix X" menu should get you back, I told you not to do that untill you removed the manually installed drivers... [05:43] no I only get the option to load ubuntu [05:43] zenrx, nice [05:43] As for your harddrives. If they're different connections (ide vs. sata) then sata is faster and use that one [05:43] ok then see [05:43] Jordan_U: I thought that WAS uninstalling the manually installed drivers [05:43] !grub > cchap07 [05:43] cchap07, please see my private message [05:43] losher im still a bit curious as to how fast apt-get update & upgrade are lol [05:44] ed_debian: nope, both EIDE [05:44] damned if I know how to do that then [05:44] here's a random one - why would some nautilus tabs gain a black border? I was trying to drag an avi into mplayer, which failed, then the tab in question somehow recieved focus & gained the border [05:44] BeatlesFan, Point it they're the same connection so there isn't really anything you can gain out of setting it up differently [05:44] it was all "uninstalling some shit" and I was like "OH HAY" [05:44] cchap07: theres a wiki there...follow the instructions and add the windows line to boot windows [05:44] How do I stop a package from being "kept back" [05:44] ed_debian: right [05:44] Maybe throw swap on a different drive than root and home but I don't you'll see a difference [05:44] ey [05:44] theshadow: dist-upgrade [05:44] BeatlesFan, Ask around though and google it. There might be something I'm totally missing [05:45] I g2g now though :( [05:45] BeatlesFan, Good luck on your move! [05:45] ed_debian: it's really a wide-open option and depending on what I want to do [05:45] I'm on the forums a lot feel free to ask me anytime [05:45] help!! i need to install kde 4.3 [05:45] Hey, someone can help me with Google Gadgets? [05:45] brb then Jordan_U [05:45] How do you dual-boot vista and 9.04? (Vista is installed..I hAVE THE LIVE CD) [05:45] thanks a lot Ill try that [05:45] gonna make shit FLAT HAPPEN [05:45] ed_debian: what killed Windows for me is the lack of option to move the My Documents to another partition [05:46] in XP [05:46] Florimond: just intsall ubuntu on another partition [05:46] BeatlesFan, Most people have different reasons... lol [05:46] Jordan_U: i going to ser default windwos and this file i will save in windwos partition, then when i am in windows i will reemplace it [05:46] ed_debian: that plus the "cool factor" of running Ubuntu [05:46] hey before I do it, Jordan_U [05:46] ed_debian: never mind that everything is FREE [05:46] Quick question that has always bothered me [05:46] I cannot "restart" ubuntu. [05:46] I can only shut it down and turn it back on [05:47] !kubuntu-desktop | shadeslayer [05:47] shadeslayer: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. [05:47] Bit by bit Ubuntu is adding more things that makes windows less relevant as a desktop os [05:47] wiseman: What you did was install the Ubuntu package, then remove the Ubuntu package, but since it was the manual install we were trying to get rid of. I don't blame you for being confused, in the future know that sticking with Hardware Drivers and packages from the beggining makes things easier [05:47] Forimond: or shrink your Vista partition to allow ubuntu to be installed [05:47] wiseman, upper right corner, click and select restart [05:47] Thank-you but how will I be able to boot into the one i want? [05:47] SectorX4: apt-get upgrade from cron should update but note that some packages may need some interaction to install properly. 'apt-show-versions -u' will tell you which upgrades are available but not actually do the upgrades. You might want to run it daily, & then upgrade manually only when you see something interesting... === c is now known as Guest17050 [05:47] usr13: :| i know that im having dependency problems [05:47] =/ [05:47] !kde | shadeslayer [05:47] shadeslayer: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu.

I was trying to drag an avi into mplayer, which failed, then the tab in question somehow recieved focus & gained the border :\ is this a bug, or...? [05:48] I've got a question about installing ubuntu-desktop - does the gui start from boot and if it does is there a way to make it not start from boot? [05:48] wiseman: Shutting down then starting up is fine [05:48] it's annoying [05:48] i.e. use the command line instead [05:48] SectorX4: ok, best of luck...

[05:50] yelyos: Well, one way would be to chmod -x /etc/init.d/gdm [05:50] yelyos: Yes, it will start gdm at boot. To disable this run " sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove [05:51] and I can just run that command from within the gui [05:51] and then how do I start up the gui from within the command line interface?

[05:53] is there other stuff in ubuntu-desktop that runs at boot that I can disable by default to save cpu cycles? [05:53] yelyos: startx starts the gui as your user, sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start starts the login screen, and there are some small advantages to the latter like you will be able to reboot from the GUI ( if you start via startx as your user you won't have permission ) [05:54] Fine :) [05:54] son of a bitch [05:54] brb [05:54] how do you get the cpu meter and ram and all that to show up on the desktop?

[06:00] told you, conky [06:00] yea [06:00] how do i start it [06:00] wiseman: Please don't use profanity [06:00] yelyos, what do you mean save cpu cycles? use "top" and you can see how much cpu usage is going on currently [06:00] read the friendly manual [06:00] if it is currently low, i don't think you can go below 0% usage [06:00] damn people in linux can be dicks [06:01] Operating System [ Windows XP Build No. 2600 ] - Uptime [ 1 week 5 days 7 hours 16 minutes 24 seconds ] [06:01] Jordan_U: I didn't mean to offend anyone [06:01] how i can add my script in autorun(ubuntu server 9.04) [06:01] ?

I suspect that my work in compiling twin may be behind this. Anyway, I suspect that I need to run that dpkg-reconfigure command, but I can't remember the name of the thing I need to reconfigure =/ Does anyone know? [06:05] it's for when R (the statistical programming language we're using) is running [06:05] wiseman: I think it's /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh but I haven't used it before and I'm juggling a lot right now :) [06:05] where is the gnome-screensavers info saved? so I can fudge with it I mean... like the screensavers that come with Jaunty [06:05] hi, [06:05] i want to run my old DOS applications in ubuntu so i install DOSEMU (installation successful), but here is my problem, i don't know how to use it. I try to open the program installed but it doesn't functioning. Anyone knows it?Tnx [06:05] RAM is a big issue too, maybe moreso than CPU [06:06] is there an in-place defragmenting tool for ext3? [06:06] cms: maybe man dosmenu will help [06:06] WIGGMPk, /usr/share/applications/screensavers ? [06:06] sparr: I don't think ext3 ever NEEDS defragmenting [06:06] sparr Not really needed [06:06] sparr: you can use shake [06:06] but I think I'm going to go with xubuntu [06:06] sure, fat doesn't need defrag too [06:06] Jack_Sparrow really needed [06:06] I'm having some problems using stunnel, could anybody give me a hand? [06:06] Surlent777: unfortunately that is not the case [06:07] just everything gets so slow [06:07] Sertse: AWESOME *with a funny lisp on the S* [06:07] sparr Why do you think you need to defrag an ext3 [06:07] Sertse: thank you much, the GLMatrix screensaver is painfully slowwwwww [06:07] yes, solve this problem in mac-way [06:07] tell him he doesn't need defrag <: === H3XiL3D is now known as HeXiLeD [06:07] !defrag [06:08] The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [06:08] sparr: ext3 has *very* less defragmentation,less than 1 pc [06:08] !who > DaZ [06:08] DaZ, please see my private message [06:08] Using the init script for stunnel, I get nothing, no indication if it started, but apparently its not starting. when running stunnel manually, it says "inetd mode must define a remote host or an executable [06:08] Jack_Sparrow: because one of my partitions is significantly fragmented, to the point that allocating space for new large files takes multiple seconds in some cases === jonc is now known as jcfoo [06:08] shadeslayer: that sentence not only does not make sense, but what you imply is wrong. [06:08] sparr what tool are you using that shows that [06:09] Jack_Sparrow: which part? [06:09] sparr What shows it is fragmented [06:09] Hi all, a little question : what's the diplomatic answer to a client who asks why a simple register form is http and not https ? (don't wnt to give is address in a non-secure connection... :/ ) [06:09] sparr: whoops....i meant that ext3 has less than 1 pc fragmentation [06:09] his* [06:10] shadeslayer: the amount of fragmentation increases as time goes on. when do you think it is 1%? [06:10] Jack_Sparrow: I don't know of a tool to measure it [06:10] sparr: just before fsck kicks in === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [06:11] Sudle: not a question for here, its not ubuntu related, try in #ubuntu-offtopic [06:11] sparr So what are you judging your statement on,, what facts tell you the drive is fragmented [06:11] chrls: thanks [06:11] sparr: No, fragmentation will not neccisarily increase with time with ext3 [06:11] Sudle: no problem :) [06:11] Jordan_U: ok, I ran the uninstall script [06:12] Jordan_U: describe a scenario in which fragmentation decreases [06:12] sparr: just read that link atleast once [06:12] shadeslayer: ive read it. I know exactly how the allocation system in ext2 and ext3 work. [06:13] sparr: 1)linux is not windows 2)there is very low fragmentation on linux/ext* drives === wiseman is now known as sparrr [06:13] LOOK HOW BIG MY LINUX WANG IS [06:13] interesting [06:14] fine I'll play nice [06:14] hello all, ive got an SSH problem with vista to ubuntu [06:14] Jordan_U: so now that i've run that script, what do I do? [06:14] hi guys, i need to write a script that adds this cronjob for apache user */2 * * * * /home/webapps/ , how can I do that [06:14] jtgiri: What? [06:15] jtgiri: You're trying to add that via a script? Why? [06:15] Create large files until the drive is full. Delete half of them. Create small files until the drive is 75% full. Repeat on a regular basis for years. Presto, significantly greater than 1% fragmentation. [06:15] because i am using ec2 , i could have 20 instances running.. === Andrew__ is now known as basicxman [06:15] i can just write one simple script [06:15] sparr This is not the place to discuss it.. [06:16] sparr: just use shake :x [06:16] sparr Please stop and take it to a different channel' [06:16] Jack_Sparrow: I know that, which is why I simply asked a question. You are the one who insisted on discussing it. === basicxman is now known as basiczman [06:16] careful Jack_Sparrow, he looks like a master debator [06:17] hello all i have a small SSH problem [06:17] well I have been watching the convo and it looks like your not the one letting up sparr [06:17] im trying to transfer files from a vista to ubuntu computer [06:17] I downloaded the vmware server .rpm installer in hopes converting it to a .deb and installing it so that setting it up with be easier. I ended up removing all of the files it installed and now I can't remove the "vmware-server" package the .deb installed. Now I can't change any other packages because it's trying (and failing) to uninstall the "vmware-server: package. Can anyone help me remove it? [06:17] i try the command sudo scp -r /Picture backupuser@192.168.0.104:/home/compbackup [06:18] flakeparadigm Alien is something we try to get people to avoid [06:18] but i get the error file or directory not found [06:18] */Picutures: file or directory not found [06:19] any ideas? [06:19] basiczman: Try Pictures? [06:19] basiczman: "/Pictures"? as in, you have a folder in your root named Pictures? === nubuntu is now known as zenxr [06:19] Yes. That would also make a difference :) [06:19] "C:\Users\Andrew\Pictures [06:19] dude, flannel [06:19] Jack_sparrow: that doesn't really help now. [06:19] I'm the only me in here [06:20] WiseGuy is not me [06:20] basiczman: what environment are you using on windows that has scp? [06:20] pictures is on my vista comp not ubuntu [06:20] where's the guy I was helping? [06:20] zenxr: here [06:20] sparr: im using PuTTY to ssh into ubuntu [06:20] Wiseman: you're right. That was in error. [06:20] Has anyone installed gfxboot successfully on a software (fake) raid setup? [06:20] Your sins are forgiven, Flannel [06:20] Wiseman: Try enabling the ati driver via Hardware Drivers, if it fails go back to recovery mode and "FIx X" again ( but I think it will work ) [06:20] Flannel thanks for checking [06:20] basiczman: You can't copy files that way. Putty is a shell on the ubuntu box,t hat's all [06:20] basiczman: Try using WinSCP to copy files [06:20] ok [06:20] thanks [06:20] basiczman: so you are running scp on the ubuntu computer? how is it supposed to connect to the windows computer to get the files? [06:21] what are some cool things i can do with a linux server [06:21] good morning, google has lots of howto posts 9.04/flash 10 but still not working for me, firefox addons shows flash 9.0r999 and 10.0r22, [06:21] mufasis: "halt" [06:21] It's now enabled. Restart requried. [06:21] mufasis: Serve things. It's mind blowing, really :) [06:21] BRB LOL WTF [06:21] sparr: the windows computer is the one issuing the commaand via PuTTY [06:21] wait i see my issue now [06:21] lol im an idiot [06:21] Wiseman Please dont do that [06:22] basiczman: You're running scp on the Ubuntu box, Windows doesn't have the scp binary ;) === nucleo is now known as nucleocide [06:22] (and if it did, you wouldn't run it over an ssh link anyway) [06:22] I have a problem with ubuntu not recognizing that I have vista installed so now I cannot boot vista. Can someone help? [06:22] lolol sorry this is my first time using ubuntu -_- [06:22] No problem === GhostWolf is now known as GhostWolf_ [06:24] cchap07: Is vista the first partition on the first drive? [06:24] usr13 are you still there? [06:24] I actually have two hard drives and vista is on the slave [06:24] hey folks.. i have a problem with k9copy freezing when i click on open, i opened k9copy through terminal and when i click on open i get some error messages on terminal can anyone help me? [06:24] basiczman: if you want the command you listed to work, you would need to be running scp on the windows computer. there are environments to do that, including Windows Services for Unix and CygWin. [06:24] cchap07: good choice, on making vista a slave.... hahaha [06:25] sparr: im using WinSCP [06:25] ok, that works too :) [06:25] Jordan_U: I actually have two hard drives and vista is on the slave [06:25] very noobish question, if i cp into the right file directory, how do i list out the files in said directory? [linux] [06:25] is there anyone who can help me with my problem with k9copy please? [06:26] basiczman: The command is ls [06:26] thanks [06:27] basiczman: ls = ls [06:27] what do i do if there's a space in the folder name? i.e. Web Resources [06:27] cant cp /Web Resources [06:27] Web\ Resources [06:27] Does anyone use Asus Expressgate?

[06:29] fred__: err happening [06:29] basiczman: Try typing like Web and hitting tab, it should fill it in (tab completion) [06:29] Anonymust: Virtualbox [06:29] ok [06:29] Stupendoussteve: doesnt work [06:29] WIGGMPk: It happened again today after I put everyting in the new barebones. I decided to give it one more try on 8.04 so I reinstalled it. We will see [06:29] Hey, I'm trying to run apt-get update and I get the following: http://pastebin.ca/1435895 [06:29] WIGGMPk, thats the one im having trouble with [06:29] I was wondering where the error was [06:29] basiczman: I have a feeling you're not in the right directory right now, or the filename isn't in caps [06:29] i need help with a freezing problem with k9copy can someone please help me? [06:30] I have a problem with ubuntu not recognizing that I have vista installed so now I cannot boot vista. Can someone help? [06:30] Anonymust: what trouble and which version? [06:30] I have a dvdrw drive that will only play regular cds. when I try and use play a dvd it says no media [06:30] if I do dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=4096 conv=notrunc,noerror will that copy and setup partitions or do I need to do it for each partition explicitly? [06:30] hellow..just want to ask how to download chikka using linux? [06:30] Jordan_U: according to shake, run on my downloads directory (about 100 files, average size 200MB), the average file has 1100 fragments. That seems sufficiently much to start worrying about defraging [06:30] Stupendoussteve: positive im in right directory [06:30] !dvd | fred__ [06:30] fred__: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [06:30] can somebody help me.. [06:30] its the home directory user backupuser [06:30] WIGGMPk: I do not think the problem is the computer hardware since it happend again in a New environment. I would bet there is something wrong or some incompatability somewhere [06:30] FLJohn: well I wish you the best of luck.. might you try Intrepid or Jaunty if it doesnt work? because they might support the hardware (or whatever) better... whats your question about Asus Expressgate? I have an ASUS G50Vt-X1 [06:30] basiczman: Then make sure your capitals are correct, linux is case sensitive [06:30] WIGGMPk, latest 2.2.2 I think, and Windows XP and OS X versions can't run Zencafe [06:31] backupuser@backup~$: cp /Web Resources [06:31] caps correct [06:31] You want cd [06:31] cp is to copy [06:31] ah [06:31] basiczman, escape your space [06:31] WIGGMPk: I tried to install expressgate to no avail. === R_Rios is now known as o_a [06:31] I have installed all that stuff from the restricted formats, still nothing. It will not ever recognise a writable dvd [06:31] Anonymust: are you using the OSE or Proprietary versions though? Im not familiar with zencafe though, what is that? [06:31] cd /Web\ Resources [06:31] basiczman: Also, you shouldn't put a / at the beginning unless the directory is in the root [06:31] FLJohn: on a pure linux install? [06:32] nanoCoder [06:32] basiczman: again I ask... you have a ROOT-LEVEL folder named "Web Resources"? that is very odd [06:32] basiczman: If the directory is in the same dir you're already in, just type the name, cd Web\ Resources [06:32] WIGGMPk: yes. That is one reason it does not make sense to me [06:32] basiczman: that is what the leading / means [06:32] success! [06:32] thanks guys [06:32] Does anyone know why the URLs to the package repositories would return a 404? [06:32] WIGGMPk: Its a linux program [06:32] sorry for my noobish>.> [06:32] jtaby: paste one (and only one) of them here [06:32] jtaby: The repo is out of date, possibly [06:32] or messed up [06:32] sparr: What does filefrag report? [06:32] FLJohn: the ASUS Express Gate REQUIRES a windows install unfortunitly because its a proprietary version of Slashtop [06:32] WIGGMPk idk which version... quickest to download I guess, from the website. Zencafe's a linux suite for internet cafes [06:33] I have a problem with ubuntu not recognizing that I have vista installed so now I cannot boot vista. Can someone help?

I am trying to > some.txt on the bash shell and it is telling me that permission is denied can someone help me [06:33] WIGGMPk: That is unfortunate [06:33] I added one of my scripts to bootup by update-rc.d mountec2vol start 15 2 3 4 5 . start 47 S . start 35 0 1 6 . ....... now the script gets executed twice during boot up.. once before entering run level 4 and once after entering runlevel 4... can anyone explain what makes it to get executed before run level 4 ? [06:33] Anonymust: well if your using Virtualbox you should know which version it is to get support.. the Open Source version has some limitations from the proprietary version [06:34] Jordan_U: random sampling, without filenames: 3217 extents found, perfection would be 3 extents; 1314 extents found, perfection would be 3 extents; 1817 extents found, perfection would be 3 extents; 1083 extents found, perfection would be 3 extents; 1883 extents found, perfection would be 3 extents [06:34] jtaby are you trying to get to the repos in a browser? [06:34] does an Pentium "HT" processor literally have two cores, or does it just "act like" is has two cores? [06:34] FLJohn: yes it is.. slashtop is a nice program and I havent found a way to tap into the Solid State disk which contains the mini OS, but if I figure it out.. you will be the second to know.. (ill be the first of course lol) [06:34] well this is a helpful bunch.. no one wants to help someone with a problem here.... later.. [06:35] WIGGMPk: thank you. [06:35] WIGGMPk, I was here earlier and someone else said they were running it fine with another VM. I don't know which version. I'm repairing permissions in livecd so I can't tell right now [06:35] FLJohn: ASUS the company does not openly (or actively) support Linux.. unless you get a "real" tech support guy on the phone [06:35] RobbieCrash, no [06:35] What's the one command to list all the hardware on a box? I'm trying to figure out where my webcam is hiding. [06:35] Jordan_U: [06:35] Jordan_U: No go. It stuck me in "low graphics mode" [06:35] now what? [06:35] FLJohn: np man, I have given up on Windows all together and thats one thing I miss is Express Gate... =*( [06:35] joetheodd: Is it a usb webcam? lsusb [06:35] español? [06:35] Stupendoussteve, laptop onboard [06:35] WIGGMPk: you know how to get ahold of me? [06:35] joetheodd: Could still be usb inside. lspci is the other command [06:36] Stupendoussteve, thanks. And yes, usb. :P [06:36] jtaby it's saying 404 not found when using apt-get? [06:36] hey, does anyone know whether it's possible to get flash to work right on ubuntu? when I try to play a flash game it just plays the entire thing, completely ignoring buttons and such [06:36] wiseman: Go to Hardware Drivers and disable the driver ( or run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh" ) [06:36] I have a problem with GRUB not recognizing that I have vista installed so now I cannot boot vista. Can someone help? [06:36] anyone else have any ideas why I can't see DVDs? I have installed everything that every website has recommended [06:36] wiseman: Not sure how to get the proprietary driver working [06:37] Anonymust: well, I would first determine which one you acctually have installed.. THe OSE version of the proprietary version.. than try the other... if that doesnt work.. I cant recommend any other than VMWare (which is paid software) but I dont think Parrellels works for linux which is the only one I have used besides the other 2. [06:37] fred__: Did you install libdvdcss2? [06:37] Nevak: could be the flash game. I haven't seen any problems with Flash here except for crazy CPU usage. [06:37] yes [06:37] I can not believe with the Four fans running in the new computer, it is quieter then my old Dell running 2 fans. [06:37] RobbieCrash, yeah, one se, I think i found a fix online [06:37] still says no media [06:37] my root ext3 file system is mounting read-only on boot and screwing up the boot. Any suggestios? [06:37] FLJohn: no, I dont.. but im sure ill run into ya [06:37] bc: it's not the game itself, it does this for just about any flash thing that has buttons [06:37] Does this hardware work in another OS? [06:37] Jordan_U: get this, in hardware drivers it says it's in use, but the check box isn't checked [06:37] FLJohn: size does matter [06:37] mib_6r91rk3o fsck it [06:37] WIGGMPk, thanks for your insight.

[06:38] WIGGMPk: you saw the Vid on youtube of the guy who got expressgate on a thumb drive? [06:38] I ran fsck -pv and it checked out fine (exit code 0) [06:38] sparr: I did not make the comment about 1% :) [06:38] mib_6r91rk3o: investigate fsck [06:38] nanoCoder: You don't have permission.

I would suggest putting the link within the videos directory instead [06:40] Hi all, how can I enable sounds in xchat ?

If no then you can of course use it :) [06:41] I installed jaunty from a CD using that drive and I burn and watch DVDs all the time in wiindows [06:41] ah, videos would remain empty forever [06:41] if I do "dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=4096 conv=notrunc,noerror" will that copy and setup partitions or do I need to do it for each partition explicitly? [06:41] Nevak: I'd uninstall it, then use sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer. That's all I did and mine is working fine. [06:42] Stupendoussteve, will it be there on reboot? [06:42] chaorain: A symlink stays until you remove it [06:42] fred__ how do you try to burn the dvd? [06:42] bc: I think the problem is that the program for flash that came with ubuntu is something called Swfdec 0.8.2 [06:42] thanks big help [06:42] I have a problem with grub not recognizing that I have vista installed so now I cannot boot vista. Can someone help? [06:42] sparr: How much free space do you have? [06:43] I haven't in Jaunty, says no media in drive. Says it when I try and burn a disc and when I try to view a purchased dvd. [06:43] but I installed K3b [06:43] Nevak: I do not have libswfdec installed [06:43] cchap07 did you install ubuntu before or after Windows? [06:43] fred__ what about if you put an audio cd in? [06:43] RobbieCrash: After windows on another hardrive [06:44] bc: huh... well, I'm running 9.04 ubuntu, could that affect it? [06:44] bc: affect what program is used I mean [06:44] cchap07 so you have windows on hard drive 1 and ubuntu on hard drive 2? [06:44] hrm, I haven't tried that yet. [06:44] Nevak: I'm running 9.04 as well [06:44] bc: ah.... [06:44] bc: weird [06:44] fred__ try that and see if it recognizes an audio cd [06:44] Jordan_U: between 1 and 100GB, out of 500GB total [06:44] Anyone know how to stream media from ubuntu PC to PlayStation3 [06:44] bc: so how do I uninstall swfdec or whatever the program is I have? [06:44] RobbieCrash: yes but hard drive 1 is actually the slave drive if that matters [06:45] bc: because I think it's tied in with flash now [06:45] Nevak: I'd uninstall the other stuff (apt-get autoremove) and then install flashplugin-installer [06:45] it does, but I just want to figure out your hardware setup [06:45] sparr: Something is seriously wrong, because you shouldn't be seeing fragmentation like that [06:45] bc: ok thank you (sorry for being such a noob) [06:45] RobbieCrash: ok yea it is two separate hard drives [06:45] hello [06:45] jadetiger: you want a "uPNP" media application, like mediatomb [06:45] cchap07 how many partitions are there on the Windows harddrive? [06:45] Nevak: find the package name to remove using `dpkg -l | grep -i flash` from the command line [06:45] RobbieCrash: just one partition [06:46] you need to add Windows into your grub boot menu [06:46] one sec [06:46] RobbieCrash: k [06:46] Nevak: no problem, and everyone is a noob at something. I'm a noob in more areas than I'd like. :D [06:46] Jordan_U: as I said... Create large files until the drive is full. Delete half the files at semi-random. Create small files until the drive is 75% full. Repeat on a regular basis for years. Presto, significantly greater than 1% fragmentation. [06:47] played an audio cd just fine [06:47] Jordan_U: i am aware that my usage pattern (filling the drive up before cleaning it out, while continuing to create small and large files) is very fragmentation-inducing [06:47] friend or any friend who wants clarlar [06:47] cchap07 can you pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst [06:47] RobbieCrash: sorry I am a noob what is pastebin? [06:48] fred__ and you don't have ANY issues running dvds on windows? [06:48] Jordan_U: what I *should* do is stop using the same partition for bittorrent and ~, and stop letting the bittorrent partition fill to 99.8% capacity before cleaning it out. [06:48] cchap07 www.pastebin.ca [06:48] none at all [06:48] cchap07: also look into `apt-cache show pastebinit` [06:49] cchap07 open a terminal, then type gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [06:49] cchap07 then copy and paste the contents into a pastebin page, and link the page [06:49] sparr: Ok, did you have a question? [06:49] :) [06:49] fred__ what kind of dvd drive is it? [06:50] * bc crawls back into the hole [06:50] hp dvd740 external usb [06:50] some friends who want to char [06:51] are the forums down right now?? [06:51] bc: ah, ok I fixed it, I just had to uninstall the stupid swfdec thing that came with ubuntu and now flash is working right, thanks again [06:51] Nevak: fantastic [06:51] Robbie Crash: here it is: http://www.pastebin.ca/1435909 [06:53] cchap07 try pasting this in over what you have: http://www.pastebin.ca/1435911 [06:54] that may not work, if it does not, you'll need to try different options at the bottom in the Windows section, try root (hd1,1) and such root (hd1,2), but if there are no different partitions on there, and it's a hdd you installed and formatted yourself, hd1,0 should work === shauns_ is now known as shauns [06:56] RobbieCrash: is there a way I can copy it without the numbers for each line? [06:57] hello everyone, greetings, its my first time here 8D nice to see such big community online 8)... i am trying to chroot into another partition of my hd, and after some forum reading and some experiments i was able to login into this 32 bit ubuntu boot partition from mine primary boot (that is a x86_64 ) ... ok, so far things are working, but i cant do X, no graphical apps run, i get this 'Error: Can't open display: :0.0'... === wet is now known as wet-chan [06:58] maybe i am just wanting too much with just a couple of mounts and a chroot ... thanks anyway for ideas [06:58] RobbieCrash: Ok I did that so should I just reboot and see if it worked? [06:59] cchap07 as long as you've saved it, and you're sure that you didn't just paste that in additionally, so that there are two whole copies of that stuff in there, then yeah. [06:59] cchap07: There is a text box near the bottom you can copy from [06:59] anyone here used pyserial with ubuntu [07:00] does any1 no how i can install msn on ubuntu [07:00] RobbieCrash: Does it matter that the file says "title Windows XP" when I am using vista? [07:00] cchap07 nope, that's just whatever name you want in the menu [07:00] you can change that to Vista if you want [07:00] blair do you mean msn messenger? [07:00] yes [07:01] blair there's no official msn client for ubuntu that I know of, but you can install pidgin, and add an msn account to it [07:01] blair: use pidgin, it supports msn [07:01] msn, mmm, wine and mono i guess you could try blair, but mmm, better use some native linux solution [07:01] thank you [07:01] RobbieCrash: aMSN is on my elive desktop and it's just like the winblows version [07:01] yes pidgin [07:01] RobbieCrash: ok i am going to try it now thanks a lot for all your help, Ill report back later. [07:02] zenxr is aMSN in the repos? [07:02] yes pidgin or emesene [07:02] RobbieCrash: probably not, but neither is half my system XD [07:03] RobbieCrash: it's a really ugly app though.. http://www.amsn-project.net/ [07:04] ""Regression testing"? What's that? If it compiles, it is good, if it boots up it is perfect. Torvalds, Linus (1998-04-08)." [07:04] <_Matt_> how do i force my tv out, svideo, to always show up in ubuntu as a display? i can get svideo to work 50% of the time and i can't figure out how to make it work all the time from boot [07:06] i want to add a hard drive to my system because my videos folder ran out of space. the problem is that i want to add all free space from new hd to that videos folder [07:06] how do i do this === danorsk[afk] is now known as danorsk [07:08] Aloha brotha [07:08] Is dd the slowest program ever? [07:08] Aloha! [07:08] what is libtool for??? ada2358 [07:09] I seem to be having trouble configuring a program to accept my alsa configuration. Rather, I'm not quite sure how to set it up. Would anyone care to help? [07:09] !ask Zencyde [07:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask Zencyde [07:09] !ask | Zencyde [07:09] Zencyde: 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. :-) [07:10] pizzledizzle: You can move all of the videos to the new drive then mount that drive with your videos directory as a mountpoint [07:10] Er, well, that is the problem. I'm not quite sure how to set up my ALSA settings. Err.. here's an example of what I mean: hw:0,4# Intel ICH - IEC958 : Intel ICH5 - IEC958 : playback 1 [07:11] what for we use postfix with msql? [07:11] Jordan_U, is there a way to combine two hard drives together so im not limited to one hd in that videos folder? [07:11] what are the chances of getting a gfs working in ubuntu ? [07:11] Zencyde are you trying to do your entire ALSO config by hand? [07:12] Er, no. This program just requires I define parameters that I'm not sure of. :( [07:12] Zencyde what program? [07:12] TerminatorX, in this case. [07:13] It seems that it manages to work, but, there's no sound coming out. === DodgerDog^Gym is now known as DodgerDog [07:13] pizzledizzle: You could with LVM, but it's not easy [07:14] Zencyde your ALSA works fine otherwise? [07:14] Yep. [07:14] <_Matt_> how do i force my tv out, svideo, to always show up in ubuntu as a display? i can get svideo to work 50% of the time and i can't figure out how to make it work all the time from boot [07:14] And you're sure your primary sound output is ALSA not Pulse or something else? [07:15] for some reason my desktop is not showing any icons or files. I tried looking at the settings in gconf-editor but could not find the correct entry that fixes it... any ideas? [07:15] Er.. it is pulse, isn't it? [07:15] I thought that's what it was set to by default. [07:15] Ugh, I still don't get what Pulseaudio does. [07:15] what for postfix is used with sql? [07:15] !pulseaudio | Zencyde [07:15] Zencyde: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [07:16] Zencyde: it's a software audio mixer [07:16] Just like ALSA? [07:16] 9.04 is freezing when usb booted. [07:17] I was under the impression that pulseaudio did something else and ran alongside ALSA. :o [07:17] Boohbah so if a program uses an ALSA backend, if he's using Pulse will sound work properly from ALSA apps? [07:17] this is a usb boot image created using "create a usb start disk" with the latest 9.04 from ubuntu.com [07:19] Ugh, now it's working. What the balls? :( Linux, you are not yet ready for the desktop! [07:19] ubuntu is freezing during the progress bar after the "try this blah blah without writing to the disk" or whatever.. [07:19] Oh, but your smooth and easy package management system is too good to leave you for. D: [07:19] i am wondering what the command is to append a postfix to many filenames (in subdirectories recursively). i compiled debug versions of a library and want to do something like 'mv *.so* *_d.so*' [07:19] hi [07:19] Zencyde, wtf does linux have to do with pulseaudio and alsa? [07:19] TsukeHiki_, ask in #postfix [07:20] TsukeHiki_, nevermind that lol [07:20] is there some app that will automatically detect and unzip/extract any type of archive without me having to type different parameters for every archive type, just to accomplish the same simple task? [07:20] :P [07:20] wahnfrieden: ark [07:20] usr13 Jordan_U Thanks for the help, after playing with some of the dnsmasq settings I was able to get it working... at least partially, now I know the concept works as I thought it would [07:20] Ugh, fine. Replace "linux" with "ubuntu". :( I was making a joke because it had hiccuped. [07:20] TsukeHiki_, you could write a bash script to loop files in a directory and perform a mv command [07:21] TsukeHiki_, if you're good at the shell, you could do it in one line [07:21] Zencyde, I think you're still a little confused on what an audio server is and what a distribution is. [07:21] Techgurl: thanks ill look into it. this is really a huge usability issue with linux. it's so dumb to demand typing things like tar zxvf just to open a simple archive [07:21] wahnfrieden: there is one for the command line that does that, don't rememeber what it's called now, but it's in the ubuntu repositories [07:21] yeah i am looking at bash manuals to figure that one line out. i was hoping somebody can do it from the top of their head [07:21] commands which were made for magnetic tape [07:22] kenyon ah thats what i want [07:22] Zencyde is everything working now? [07:22] there is usually some kind of gui application for most command tools now [07:22] wahnfrieden, that's the life of CLI. why not grab a good GUI? [07:22] Yeah. Thanks for the help. :) [07:22] wahnfrieden: let me see if I can find it [07:22] Not sure what I did, but no problem [07:22] ;) [07:22] hello, i can't connect to a wireless with a WEP key with ubuntu hardy. Usually i can connect to some wireless with WPA key or without key. do you know why? [07:22] wahnfrieden: tar xf will handle both kinds of tarballs at least, and that's all I ever deal with [07:22] im new to linux (not a new computer user at all..im a software developer, i'm not a complete moron) and I hate having to look up how to unzip every random archive combination i come across [07:22] RobbieCrash: Hey im back [07:23] seon, can you view your log output and check for errors? [07:23] cchap07 and [07:23] ? [07:23] xeer it's not a problem inherent to CLI [07:23] that's orthogonal to this problem [07:23] crdlb: but you still have to deal with gzip etc [07:23] wahnfrieden: it's completely inherent to CLI when file-roller is a GUI solution [07:23] wahnfrieden, it would be trivial to write a shortcut script to point "unzip" to "tar -xvf" [07:23] it should be trivial to detect the type, and decompress automatically, CLI or not [07:23] wahnfrieden: what do you mean? tar xf handles .tar, .tar.gz, and .tar.bz2 [07:24] Im not sure it is a Linux problem anymore but I get the error: "BOOTMGR is missing. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart" [07:24] how can I turn off acpi using the 9.04 live cd? [07:24] crdlb: oh, ok. there seems to be lots of conflicting advice online for that [07:24] Jordan_U: Hello again [07:24] crdlb: still it should also handle zip..and rar... etc [07:24] like WinRAR, WinZip whatever [07:24] cchap07: Might ask in ##windows [07:24] winrar best [07:25] 7z as well [07:25] winrar is all i need in windows [07:25] me too [07:25] wahnfrieden: whatever, that's not its purpose [07:25] hate to break it to you, but rar is not the "BEST" [07:25] cchap07, try a different number after (hd1,) [07:25] crdlb: I know it's not [07:25] cchap07 try changing it to root (hd1,1) [07:25] rar may not be the best anymore but its used on newsgroups [07:25] wahnfrieden, I use ark, although I don't know how many formats it supports. it works for me. [07:25] crdlb: but there should be a wrapper interface which detects type and calls the appropriate tools automatically [07:25] RobbieCrash: ok hold on [07:25] anyone here knows how to use dosemu? [07:26] ark with all the plugins supports everything [07:26] hi guys [07:26] hi dears, any body who worked on NS2 [07:26] it amazes me how much usability suffers in linux and how people dont seem to care about simple problems that should be trivial to fix [07:26] can anyone help me to setup my broadband connection via ethernet dialup [07:26] wahnfrieden you can use rar files in Ubuntu by adding the plugin to file roller [07:26] wahnfrieden: being a developer you could maybe help [07:27] RobbieCrash: for some reason it is not letting me save the file now. it says i do not have the permissions necessary to save the file [07:27] 99% of the time i dont want to do anything else with archive files, just EXTRACT TO A FOLDER. so it should be dead easy [07:27] xeer> How can i do? [07:27] cchap07 you need to do gksu gedit, not just gedit [07:27] Techgurl: i help in other ways [07:27] wahnfrieden: it is dead easy, using the GUI [07:27] er, gksudo rather. [07:27] can anyone help me [07:27] crdlb: why not in CLI too [07:28] RobbieCrash: those two are symlinked together, btw [07:28] maybe i misunderstand CLI philosophy [07:28] we can try if you say whats your problem newbie [07:28] wahnfrieden you can do it in CLI as well, you need to add the proper program though [07:28] hi dors [07:28] :) hi newbie [07:28] am tryin to setup by broand band dialup [07:28] RobbieCrash: why cant there be a CLI program that will use the proper program for me [07:28] it is not getting through at all [07:28] btw, hello everyone, namaste [07:28] oh Ark is a distro? [07:28] I just want an unzipper thing. [07:28] am i being trolled.. [07:28] adonai, salam aleikum [07:28] no, it's the kde archive manager [07:28] no ark is a gui frontend [07:29] wahnfrieden, ark is an GUI extraction program [07:29] wahnfrieden, nay; it is YOU doing the trolling. [07:29] oh [07:29] xeer im not trolling [07:29] im whining .. ;o [07:29] anyone who complains is considered a troll now a days [07:29] wahnfrieden the same as in Windows. You can't just install Windows and hope that it will handle a rar file, just because it can use zip files. you need to add multiverse repos and install unrar [07:30] Anybody who worked on NS2 [07:30] then do unrar x file [07:30] RobbieCrash: true but i dont need a separate app for every archive type - i just get one app that handles everything automatically [07:30] i know linux is all about splitting functionality into modular applications that pipe to each other etc [07:30] but there should be wrapper software [07:31] there is [07:31] for usability [07:31] wahnfrieden: There is, "unp" [07:31] unp.. [07:31] thanks [07:31] wahnfrieden: np [07:31] ahhh unp, that's what I was trying to find [07:31] Any NS2 user ?????/ [07:31] there's also pax, but that's not as cool [07:31] THANK YOU [07:31] what is unp? [07:31] !unp > dsdeiz [07:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about unp [07:31] !info unp > dsdeiz [07:32] oh i see.. hehehe [07:32] it's so silly that everyone is encouraged to use bizarre tar commands with pipes etc just to unzip === matthew is now known as Guest91213 [07:32] wahnfrieden there is wrapper software. But just like in Windows, you need to install it. You can't just say "well this program for this thing doesn't do this thing for other things." If you want a CLI program that will handle all archive files, find one. Most people don't care about CLI'ing everything when there's a GUI that will do it all with ease. [07:32] RobbieCrash: Ok I was able to change the file and am going to try again. Thanks again! [07:32] tar commands which aer only comprehensible in terms of magnetic tape backups from the 80s [07:32] wahnfrieden everyone isn't. Everyone is telling you to install a GUI frontend that will do everything you're asking about. [07:32] NS2 ? [07:32] NS2 USER ??? [07:32] some people just like the little command line apps [07:33] hi guys [07:33] can anyone help me config my wimax [07:33] RobbieCrash: these esoteric approaches are at least noticably more common in linux [07:33] imo [07:33] i appreciate CLI because I type faster than i use the mouse [07:33] wahnfrieden: also there are man and web pages that explain all those options. also, the long options for GNU tar are much more comprehensible than the short ones. [07:34] when I first started using linux is was mostly all CLI tools but now there are wrappers and gui frontends for them [07:34] hello [07:34] * dsdeiz is thinking to install openssh on a pc at home, attach a speaker, then ssh to that pc and use xmms [07:34] ANY NETWORK SIMULATOR USER ? === william is now known as Guest17627 [07:34] help [07:34] man pages are a whole other issue.. they're for specifications, not for use explanations === patrick is now known as Guest41130 [07:34] far too few provide sensible examples [07:34] openssh workz, dsdeiz [07:34] etc [07:34] hi everyone [07:34] i always just end up googling instead and getting what i need much faster in some tutorial [07:34] well you can fix that, it's open source, but they are for usage AND specs. [07:35] wahnfrieden: This channel is not for complaints. If you have a support question, feel free to ask it. We are not a place for diatribes, there are other channels for that. Thanks. [07:35] ok sorry [07:35] thanks for the help [07:35] hi, how can i install the very latest version of gnome on ubuntu? [07:35] markj: Rather than saying help try asking a question [07:35] Guest41130: Use Ubuntu 9.04 [07:36] but i have to agree with wahnfrieden. man pages need few this is how you use this program exsamples [07:36] some have them [07:36] yeah but i mean the developement version of gnome [07:36] i wanna test it [07:36] I just installed a 3d game (Cube 2) and my distro was also just put on my system a few hours ago, does anyone know what i need to do to get the graphix running smoothely so I can even play 3d stuff, Ive done this before and forget what the few commands were that I used, but if anyone knows off hand that would be awesome [07:36] simplexio: yes spec and usage should be separate [07:36] good luck installing the developement version [07:36] Guest41130: Use Karmic. [07:37] if I do "dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=4096 conv=notrunc,noerror" will that copy and setup partitions or do I need to do it for each partition explicitly? [07:37] Jip: What gfx card? ( Most likely System > Administration > Hardware Drivers is what you want ) [07:37] wahnfrieden: Thats all up to the individual authors of the man pages. Many do have examples, many have copious examples. But again, we're offtopic. Feel free to take it to #ubuntu-offtopic if you wish to continue to discuss. [07:39] ok.. so now that I know the concept works, are there any alternatives to Tor, preferably one that isn't so slow? [07:39] Jordan_U: Kool got it [07:39] and a side note, is dd the slowest program ever? 45KB/sec read write on two SATA 3.0GB/sec drives??? [07:40] Joe__: Do you want anonymity or just a proxy? [07:40] Joe__ TOR is by nature slow. You're relying on other people's internet connections to get you where you want to go. [07:40] dd is sector by sector [07:40] Jordan_U Only aspect I need is the IP masking (specifically need a US address) [07:40] How do I get ubuntu to detect proprietary drivers? I went to Admin > Hardware Drivers, but it doesn't detect my graphics card anymore whereas last 8.10 did. [07:41] so Techgurl that's a yeah right? It'll copy everything bit for bit, and give me a perfect copy of my drive, ostensibly right? [07:41] Hello [07:41] true RobbieCrash [07:41] Joe__ you just want a US public IP? [07:41] Jordan_U What I've been trying to do is get access to content I legally own, but due to my physical location (I'm US Military) I can't. I've been able to prove what I want to do is possible, now it's just a matter of now being deathly slow [07:41] RobbieCrash yes [07:41] Is it possible to set up ubuntu to connect to a WPA protected network on boot? [07:41] Joe__: You can use basically any US proxy then [07:41] Loafers: ATI dropped support for many gpus in their latest proprietary video driver release [07:42] flakeparadigm not on boot, but as soon as it loads. [07:42] RobbieCrash: What exactly do you mean? [07:42] crdlb, oh ok thanks... so i can't use my graphics card at all then? [07:42] Joe__ http://www.aliveproxy.com/us-proxy-list/ [07:42] use the open source ones if its ATI and discontinued [07:42] Hello [07:42] Loafers: No, you can use the open source drivers === kbrosnan_ is now known as kbrosnan [07:42] Loafers: the open source driver should provide some 3d acceleration [07:43] hi [07:43] the open source ones are very slow [07:43] crdlb, ok where do i find these open source drivers? [07:43] oh [07:43] flakeparadigm it won't do it when you turn on your computer, but as soon as it can it should connect as long as you've previously connected to the network and your password is good. [07:43] darn [07:43] Jordan_U ok... Here's what I'm trying to do, Laptop goes to Proxy (using wireless), Laptop shares internet over eth0, Client connected to eth0 (not a computer, so I can't just do it there) shows up as US [07:43] Loafers: You are probably already using them [07:43] how depressing [07:44] RobbieCrash: The thing is, is that I would like it to connect to the network without any users logging on [07:44] Joe__ so you want to use your laptop to connect to the internet, then have some device connect to your laptop, and have that device access the internet as though it's from within the US? [07:44] I would like to know the "normal" size of a Folder 4k or 56k [07:44] ? [07:44] RobbieCrash exactly [07:44] ircleuser an empty folder? [07:44] i put 8.10 picked install with xp on sony vaoh lap top i,m having probs with video bunch of lines going through screen [07:45] So just change my iptables entries from redirecting to Tor (I already had Tor due to a trip in China, hence I went with that) to one of these proxies? [07:45] a folder with data (but what is returned with an ls -l) [07:45] i,ll wait [07:45] I guess my question is said a little better this way: "Is it possible to set up ubuntu to connect to a WPA protected network DURING boot?" [07:45] hi [07:46] hih b1_ [07:46] Joe__ if the device is coming from your computer, your computer just needs to be like its from the US. So if you've got ypour laptop showing up as American, your device should be too. [07:46] Joe__: Yes, though depending on what you are trying to access they may blacklist proxies ( to is harder to blacklist because there are so many nodes ) [07:46] brb [07:46] flakeparadigm as far as I know, it does that. [07:46] ok, I'll give that a try, thanks. [07:47] RobbieCrash: No, it connects as soon as a user logs on. [07:47] hello,man??? [07:47] using the user's settings [07:48] flakeparadigm: Yes, if you are using network-manager then set the connection as a system setting [07:48] Jordan_U thanks. I was trying to figure out why mine does that if that's not how it normally does work [07:49] Jordan_U: how would I do that?

Do I need to add /usr/include to my PATH or something like that ? [07:50] milligan: is there any glut dev package? [07:50] DaZ, plenty .. and I installed them all :) [07:50] milligan: if you do need to add it to path, that would be done with EXTRA_CFLAGS -I/usr/include/GL [07:50] does ntfs 3g really always use so much CPU? [07:50] Hi :) i deleted my windows partition and formated it as ext4. is there a way to combine it with my /home partition. To be one partition with the size of these 2? [07:50] milligan: but hopefully there's a better way. [07:51] * RobbieCrash grumble grumble [07:51] socialevil expand it in gparted === RobbieCrash is now known as Robbie_Crash [07:52] socialevil: using gparted. but why you want to have one big partition ? [07:52] doleyb, suppose I could try installing the lib from source [07:52] yeah but in gparted there is no "expand" function or something like that or maybe i have to umount my /home first? but how i am using it right now [07:52] milligan: did you read config.log and config.status ? [07:52] socialevil: Use gparted form the Ubuntu LiveCD [07:52] socialevil: example some small partition in /tmp instead /tmp using /, is much more nicer setup. [07:53] Jordan_U, I have the same problem, as flakeparadigm, but my "system connection" box is greyed out [07:53] Robbie_Crash: I'm back again and it did not work. It told me that partition did not exist. Any other Ideas or should I look elsewhere? [07:53] Jordan_U: Thanks. [07:53] cchap07 one second. [07:53] flakeparadigm: np [07:54] simplexio, you mean to use this new partition for /tmp ? [07:54] uberadm: Not sure if this matters for policykit, but do log in normally ( via GDM ) or with startx [07:54] cchap07 how many hard drives do you have? [07:54] Robbie_Crash: 2 hard drives [07:55] A full windows partition is a bit big for /tmp [07:55] Jordan_U, GDM [07:55] the partition is 30gb [07:55] cchap07 and you're sure that there's only the one partition on the second hdd? [07:55] uberadm: Is your user part of the "admin" group? [07:55] Robbie_Crash: not entirely sure [07:55] hi ever since i recompiled cegui it doesnt produce the cegui.log file anymore, any ideas why that could be?

[07:59] It's not working for me [07:59] Jordan_U, tis' okay, I think you were onto something. maybe its not admin but another group I'm supposed to belong to but don't.

[08:07] i have not done update [08:07] how do i do update [08:07] Ok, so i have DMRAID and i need to know if i can section of a section of partition and make it fat 32 without breaking my raid [08:08] i need to fix video [08:08] almackska: ? [08:08] its a fake raid setup. [08:08] almackska: with sofware raid you use partition on raid, not disks [08:09] Campfire, system-administration-update manager [08:09] almackska: so if you have free partition there, no problem. if you want to decrease partition sizes, well i wouldnt [08:09] i think the video drivers are bad [08:09] man [08:09] that should fix right ? [08:09] everyone in here must be a clueless idler [08:09] default # for all ubuntu users.. [08:09] probably [08:10] that is disapointing. I have a terabyte in raid 0 [08:10] need a fat 32 partition for windows games [08:10] almackska: ? when using windows ? or when using wine/ virtualmachine in that case you dont [08:11] i 'd like to have a better video driver for my 64bit distro in this machine, it seems the i915_dri.so i have compiles the graphic primitives not in assembly :(as it does with *386 ):, so i have like 1/3 of the 3d graphics rendering performance i have on this same machine booting 32 bits kernel and drivers ... i am looking for some ways of using 32 drivers for rendering stuff... that 'd be nice [08:11] Jordan_U: It did not work again and gave me the error: "Error 15: File Not Found" any other Ideas or should I try windows support? [08:11] hi all, i'm having a problem with my ubuntu not shutting down properly most of the time; it goes to a black screen (not off) and hangs there indefinitely [08:12] i have jaunty on two 500gb in raid 0 and a puny 13gb with 64bit xp for games. I need room for fallout 3. so thats why i need to section off a peice of my jaunty partition [08:12] i want to look at a log to see what is happening, which should i look at? [08:12] dors: reinstall 32bit systems, then you get 32bit system [08:13] i have one yet simplexio... i just wanted to have all of it in one place, 64 bit and good praphics ... but it seems not that easy :( [08:13] thanks anyway [08:13] almackska: :) raid 0, well i wouldnt even try to resize that. you could try google about dmraid [08:14] cchap07: Go back to the configuration where you had an error about Bootmgr then ask in ##windows [08:14] almackska: and with that setup you need reisze both disk is you eant to use raid0 [08:14] Jordan_U: Ok thanks a lot for all your help [08:14] cchap07: np [08:15] ok, so in Gparted resize equal portions of the disk? [08:15] almackska: maybe.. no idea does it work with raid systems [08:16] almackska: remeber if that resize fucks up, you loose all data on that raid [08:17] try shutting down your machine from a tty terminal raevol, maybe it gives you some idea on the proceedings the OS is doing, try looking in syslog,kern.log, messages then [08:17] almackska: easiest way to get more hd is go shop and buy one [08:17] yeah, i mean, if i didnt mess up all the time i would never learn. but then again. i have massive amounts of info i just cant save. [08:17] lol, yeah [08:18] do ctrl+alt+F1 to get a tty [08:18] almackska: Having important data on raid0 without a backup is a recipe for disaster [08:18] almackska: and remember that zero in raid means thats how much you get data out if one hd fails :) [08:18] Xorg.0.log may help also [08:18] but its smokin fast [08:18] Linux device-mapper (striped) [08:19] /dev/mapper/nvidia_bdfbdcfa [08:19] it benchmarks like a champ [08:19] Anybody using wireshark? Is it meant to be run as root in order to be able to see available network interfaces? [08:19] almackska: yeah.. but 1 gives that backup partition too, and its little faster than raid0 when accessing multiple files at same time [08:19] this is the error i see in my messages log when i shut down and it hangs: http://pastebin.com/d6fc56d7f [08:19] hax0r1337: yes [08:20] hax0r1337: Yes, you can also run tcpdump as root and analize the dumps in wireshark as a user [08:20] the write is faster but read is the same [08:20] hax0r1337: wireshark needs to put the NIC is promiscous mode which requires root privalages [08:20] simplexio, Jordan_U: sounds good, thanks. [08:21] anyone try the new filesystem? i forget the name [08:21] almackska: btrfs, if so yes [08:21] almackska: i live in fantasy that my 4xhd raid5 setup is faster and more reliable setup than others [08:21] that libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0.1600.1 may have problems raevol, or other thing that uses it, you may try to recompile it from source [08:21] oh duh: http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsug_html_chunked/ChCapPrerequisitesSection.html (needs root access, nice and clear) [08:22] dors: it's the libgdk i got from a fresh install of xubuntu 9.04, shoudl i file a bug? [08:22] this name seems strange to me also, it should end just with so.0.X [08:22] yeah, that file system, is it worth it? [08:23] for filing a bug you would need to add dumps etc, maybe be able to reproduce it on a fresh install [08:23] almackska: i can recommend XFS, if you have UPS, i experince from these new filesystems [08:23] almackska: It has some interesting features but I wouldn't put anything worthwile on it at this stage in development [08:23] i have no idea how to go about doing that dors, i jsut want it to shut down cleanly [08:24] gotcha, well im thinking about just reinstalling the whole thing. [08:24] without the raid [08:25] simplexio: raid 5 is faster for read but is SLOWER for writes than a single disk (4 x slower) [08:25] almackska: try repartition those 500G to half, then install linux to raid1, and use that another 2x250 in windows raid0 for games.. speed is good [08:26] !windows | simplexio [08:26] simplexio: For discussion on Microsoft Windows, or help with same, please visit ##windows.

[09:26] So who here can help me with vsftpd? When I try to FTP I get error 550 (Permission Denied) [09:26] <_whiff> eMaX: The DVD drive isn't working.. and I need to install ubuntu ASAP. [09:26] really amazed me :) [09:26] _whiff I have not done that so far [09:26] eMax: yeah wget is working thanks [09:27] change cool [09:27] is ubuntu leaving any crashlogs or dumps when the system freezes/crashes? [09:27] <_whiff> eMaX: http://www.flickr.com/photos/zrr/2591876211/ [09:27] i desperately need to find the cause for lockups/freeze of my system [09:28] <_whiff> eMaX: Something I can do at the boot promt? [09:28] let me check [09:28] anyone ????? [09:28] I've a very very slow connection here [09:29] gprs with someone standing on the line ;) [09:29] but I see already half your screenshot [09:29] _whiff, I thought you want to install linux? [09:29] pronoy: graphics card drivers ? monitor settings it could be one of a no of things ? [09:29] I mean ubuntu [09:29] <_whiff> eMaX: yeah. === heizkostenabrech is now known as gaaas [09:29] tha's a syslinux boot prompt [09:30] linny: do i reinstall the binary driver then ? will it fix anything ? [09:30] <_whiff> eMaX: Just picked a random image.. but, I get the same error minus the syslinux part. [09:30] but anyway at that point where you are, the boot loader has loaded [09:30] and then it doesnt find the kernel [09:31] pronoy: i really dot know maybe if you explained more like is it a fresh install what was you doing when it started what player ? have you tried other players and vids [09:31] _whiff, well I cannot help with that as I've not done it in the past, but there should be some howtos [09:31] also what codecs and containers your having troubles with [09:31] I'd probably prepare the memory stick for booting and then loopmount the iso image and copy its content to the stick [09:31] but there will be descriptions of that === ramon is now known as ramontayag [09:33] pronoy ? [09:34] ok i need a few more ideas. for those that don't know, i'm trying to figure out why when I choose vista in my dual boot machine, the next time i reboot it automatically goes to vista. to go back to ubuntu I have to remove the "boot" flag from the vista partition while in gparted. dors (who has logged out) suspects it's a savedefault or updatedefault entry. i tried making them both falls, but... [09:34] ...the problem remains. do I have to install grub or activate something if I update menu.lst? [09:34] them both *false [09:36] someone helped me yesterday but i forgot the name of the firefox plug in. i need to change what os i'm running so that my internet provider will let me use linux.

[09:44] funkmonster: ah.. well good on you anyway, but i have no idea then [09:44] I have ubuntu laptop when I connect it to external monitor picture is shaky (very shaky) any ideas? [09:45] ok, i have seen , it is default [09:45] Guest88563: not a clue. if its the router that does the redirection then i doubt its a ubuntu problem.. [09:45] is there a way to hide join/parts/bans/unimportant info in xchat? [09:46] anyone using komodo edit?

[09:47] /set irc_conf_mode 1 apparently [09:47] Guest88563: then your isp hates you and wont let you use anything but windows [09:48] Robbie_Crash: that sounds universal, does it work? [09:48] tones : lol. yes this plug in for firefox is supposed to make my computer look like i'm running windows [09:48] tones, yeah [09:48] well, as far as I can tell so far anyhow [09:49] i want to setup a domain controller [09:49] I've not seen any j/p/b/garbage since I entered it [09:49] can someone help?

[09:51] gordonjcp: i have already installed samba [09:51] Robbie_Crash: even i cant ping 4.3.3.3 [09:51] 9.04 cause it's the latest and got bug fixes and stuff that 8304 doesn't [09:51] robbie : no not until i log in [09:52] robbie : not even in windows can i ping anything until i log in [09:52] gordonjcp: and im able to share the files [09:52] well except their server [09:52] gordonjcp: but how do i set it to a mode where only authorization will allow access [09:52] Guest88563, is there anyone that can give you the login page address?

I boot 9.04 and xp. It was working fine till I decided to put another partition in. Now I can't boot windows. I already edited menu.lst and it still doesn't work. [09:57] Robbie_Crash: but the support is so short:( i wonder why lol [09:57] Okashi, define doesn't work [09:57] Robbie_Crash: when I try to boot up windows it says it can't [09:57] gordonjcp: but the network has windwos machines too [09:57] lokoabreu, because they don't always put out LTS versions [09:58] krishmish: yeah, but other than "install samba" I don't know how to connect to Windows [09:58] i am trying to register a nick and it says the email isnt valid [09:58] Okashi, what is the exact error? [09:58] wtf [09:58] krishmish: generally you might want to read up on samba [09:58] zach check your syntax [09:58] gordonjcp: okay, but can u configure samba??? [09:58] krishmish: no [09:58] i did and all it says is that the email isnt valid [09:58] krishmish, what are you tring to do? [09:58] lgordonjcp: like if i wanna allow access only to certain users with a password [09:58] krishmish: well, other than in very very general terms [09:58] krishmish: no idea, I've never used Windows [09:59] i use /msg nickserv register [09:59] Robbie : thats where i'm lost lol. all the info in status is right, just can't go any where. someone told me yesterday that it could be my headers. and told me to download a plugin for firefox that will make my computer look like windows, to the server, and then i should beable to log in. i just can't find or remember what the plugin name is. plus a second opinion is always good [09:59] Guest88563: you want to change the user agent [09:59] krishmish, smb shares require password's to access them, unless the file has 777 permissions I believe [09:59] Guest88563: in which case, some sort of user agent switcher might help [09:59] I've setup a ubuntu server in virtualbox, but can't seem to access it from my host ubuntu (via ping, or http) [09:59] Robbie_Crash: grah I forget exactly [09:59] any ideas? [10:00] when i try to edit a ini file with sudo edit it sais warning : unknown mime type ??? [10:00] gordonjcp: infact whn you go to shareing options in gui... [10:00] so, unless your file has read/write/execute permissions allowed for everyone, then you'll need a password [10:00] Guest88563: just as a matter of interest, what's the site you're trying to access? [10:00] gordonjcp: yes thats the name thanks. [10:00] Robbie_Crash: or something about "guest=true" ? [10:00] gordonjcp: it askes u whether all are allowed [10:00] krishmish: okay, I've never used a GUI for it [10:00] how to see which cpu-core a program is using? i have 2 cores and want to see if it is using core1 or core2 [10:00] Gordonjcp : i'm trying to log into my internet provider with linux so i can actually get rid of windows [10:00] gordonjcp: oh okay [10:00] Guest88563, that might be the case, I'll try googling it for you. [10:01] please will someone put my name at the start of a setence? (for a test of a thing i just changed) [10:01] gordonjcp: i think i should go thru the documantation more thoroughly [10:01] Guest88563: okay, but they don't let you on the site with non-Windows browsers? === danni is now known as ninadsp [10:01] robbie : thanks [10:01] Prentice: test [10:01] krishmish: there's a lot of it, some of it quite good... [10:01] gordonjcp, guest=true is something you need to set up though, it's off by default. [10:01] gordonjcp: thanx a lot === ninadsp is now known as ninadsp|away [10:01] gordonjcp: yeah [10:01] iceroot: thanx [10:01] Robbie_Crash: iirc, yes [10:01] gordonjcp : aparently. my windows works fine. in linux everything is the same as windows but won't go any where [10:02] gordonjcp: till now i have been on my own, and come this far [10:02] email is entered as right? [10:02] Robbie_Crash: it's been a long time since I used samba, and the Windows end was dealt with by someone who knows how to do Windows [10:02] how to load drivers in xubuntu...I found out that I need to load some other drivers for my ethernet card... [10:02] gordonjcp: lemme see how far i can go further [10:02] Guest88563: okay, what is actually happening? [10:02] Robbie_Crash: meh I'll reboot again and write it down, my memory sucks [10:02] gordonjcp: just the email no <> [10:02] Guest88563, can you get to the interwebs now? [10:02] lol [10:02] ty [10:02] like websites? [10:03] Okashi, please do, without the error, I have no idea how to help [10:03] It is a DEC21041 chipset and linux loads the tulip drivers by default which don't work [10:03] Prentice: hm? [10:03] gordonjcp, I know at my house I can't access my smb shares from my windows boxes without authentication. [10:03] and that's vanilla smb [10:03] I think i broke my postfix installation after trying to add amavis to it. Somehow it won't start, won't show anything in log files and doesn't do anything in general. [10:03] gordonjcp: you take of the <> on all things linux [10:03] Where can i find any crashlogs, dumps if my installation has intermittent lockups/crashes its jaunty jackalope x64 on a laptop [10:04] PatrikSoder, /var/log [10:04] gordonjcp : i should beable to type in any page and it redirects me to the login page, i log in and then i can go any where. thats in windows. in linux i connect to the router and type in something and get cannot display page or dns not found. it flip flops. so i tried to type in the login page address directly and the same thing happens [10:04] Thx Robbie, however i could not find anything there.. is log only visible to the root user? [10:04] Robbie_crash thanks [10:05] registered, TY i assumed that when they listed the register help that you needed the <> [10:05] i am afraid that the system freezes so hard that it does not even get the chance to write any dump/log [10:05] pat_SecondChoice, no. you should be able to view as normal user [10:05] er, PatrikSoder that was to you [10:06] i understood :) === Prentice is now known as Prentice5 [10:06] ehilà! buongiorno [10:06] Guest88563, can you get to a website now? [10:06] do i have to "turn loggin" on.. some kind of daemon or anything Robbie_Crash [10:07] PatrikSoder, logging should be on by default, what are you trying to install? [10:07] robbie_crash - its downloading. i get an average download rate of 1kb/s lol. its sloooooooooooooow. but hey i have internet in iraq so i can't complain to much [10:07] hi folks, I need to recommend someone broadband speed of the internal network between two computer. They send each other 600 mb of file per day, and small amount of data every minute. Is there any tool which enables to look to statistics of these network? [10:07] Guest88563: sounds like you're not picking up DNS properly [10:07] Guest88563: why do you need to go to a login page? [10:07] haha, Guest88563 are you getting the user agent plugin right now? [10:08] Guest88563: oh, Iraq, right presumably you've got a somewhat "special" arrangement there [10:08] hi. should /dev/null be accessible by all users? [10:08] i have installed 9.04 64bit on a reasonably new vaio.. 4Gig 2.4Ghz dualcore.. it works as a charm with vista (sigh) but ubuntu has intermittent hangs/lockups [10:08] b0red: yes, why? [10:08] Robbie_Crash: okay it said "Error 12 Invalid device requested" [10:09] Robbie_crash - yes eventually lol [10:09] Okashi, then you've edited your menu.lst incorrectly. [10:09] how many physical hdds do you have? [10:09] Robbie_Crash: one [10:10] and how many partitions on it? [10:10] i would like to search for the errors myself but i dont know what kind of tools there are [10:10] windows is on the 3rd partition so I used (0,2) [10:10] Gordonjcp : yes i do. i have to pay a company called us coms. they have prepaid cards and monthly payments. so thats why i have a login page because anyone can connect to their routers, but the only people that will have internet is with a username and password [10:10] anyone with samba4?? [10:10] Okashi, can you please pastebin your menu.lst file? [10:10] heh k. just a sec [10:10] tynar: vnstat [10:11] My sound just went away, and I have no Idea of why. First it was audacious that lost it, but changing it to use alsa solved it. But now nothing works. I have reinstalled mplayer and alsa-utils, but no improvement. Any Ideas of what could be wrong? [10:11] Robbie_crash - well its time to see if the user agent switcher works. i'll brb. [10:11] good luck Guest88563 [10:12] Robbie_Crash: http://pastebin.com/d3ef2fdfa [10:12] I think i broke my postfix installation after trying to add amavis to it. Somehow it won't start, won't show anything in log files and doesn't do anything in general. [10:12] Gordonjcp : i'm going to see if the user agent switcher works i'll brb [10:12] Guest88563: okay, it sounds like for some reason you're not picking up DNS [10:12] thanks robbie_crash [10:12] jesus_, check your mixer at the top? [10:12] if I want to add a new user to my ubuntu machine and make it so that if the user wants to use sudo - he has to give a different password than his own (say that of 'firstuser'), how do I do that. I'm doing this on a server edition ubuntu [10:12] PatrikSoder: dmesg, cat /var/log/syslog .... google, sysRq key, if kernel hangs just try ctrl+alt+sysrq+ somekey to see last trace [10:12] *fingers are crossed* work darn you work lol [10:13] SandGorgon: sudo needs only user password [10:13] SandGorgon: su needs target user password [10:14] hi all. How can I make symbolic link which looks like this: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2009-05-11 19:03 /etc/kvm-ifup -> kvm/kvm-ifup [10:14] what do i need to do to launch an application using the terminal, in a hidden set of folders? [10:14] it won't even navigate to .wine [10:14] is it wrong to use sudo rather than gksudo anytime? [10:14] Okashi, enough different kernels in your menu :P [10:15] myxo cd ~/.wine [10:15] Robbie_Crash, "at the top"? alsamixer has every device on max. [10:15] kholerabbi2 it just tells me the folder doesn't exist because its a hidden folder [10:15] Robbie_Crash: the only thing I changed from default was just to add windows in, everything else was already there [10:15] how can i have my own irc network [10:15] jesus_, and you're using alsa as the active device? [10:16] kholerabbi2 sorry, you were right! [10:16] Okashi, it's not a problem, there's just a lot. [10:16] myxo: works for me [10:16] kk :D [10:16] kholerabbi2 why do i need to include the home folder tilda to get it to detect? [10:16] hai [10:16] Okashi, is your windows partition mounted in ubuntu? [10:16] myxo: '~/' means your home directory.... './' means the current directory.. so './.wine' would work also [10:17] Robbie_Crash: it shouldn't be [10:17] wuts a terminal [10:17] actually cd .wine should work [10:17] *shrug* [10:17] Robbie_Crash, "active device"? I suppose that I do. How can I verify? [10:17] but only if you are in your home directory [10:17] kholerabbi2 yea i've been reading linux manuals to learn the lingo and directory system [10:18] :D OK having fun? [10:18] kholerabbi2 which is why i wanted to know how to launch a program from my terminal, it will tell me why it crashed right? [10:18] anybody please [10:18] xukun: what? [10:18] jesus_, sorry, I'm confusing myself. If ALSA is in there with volume up, and unmuted it should be working. [10:19] Robbie_Crash: it doesn't let me access my windows partition from Linux [10:19] myxo: it will... give oyu more information anyway.. So programs have specific debugging built in like "foo-bar --debug" [10:19] some* [10:19] Dr_Sunglasses, How can I make symbolic link which looks like this: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2009-05-11 19:03 /etc/kvm-ifup -> kvm/kvm-ifup [10:19] Okashi, do you have gparted installed? [10:19] hi everybody is it possible to disable ipv6 yet in jaunty ? am using the stock 2.6.28-12 kernel [10:20] Robbie_Crash: I do, that's what I used to make my dual boot and this new partition [10:20] xukun: ln -s /etc/kvm-ifup ./kvm/kvm-ifup? [10:20] hey everyone [10:20] ok, verify your partition order. [10:21] How do i create .html files in ubuntu server [10:21] i have a question [10:22] Robbie_Crash: I can't open in atm, but it know it's linux first, new partition, windows, linux swap (no idea what this one is for but it came with ubuntu) [10:22] anyone know how I can disable ipv6 on jaunty running 2.6.28-12 kernel ? Pleases ? [10:22] How do i create .html files in ubuntu server [10:22] hi [10:22] i have question about proftpd [10:22] i want block access for IP [10:22] Can I run and load Ubuntu Deskstop, if my Laptop doesn't have a Hard Drive?

[10:39] it is DEC 21041 chipset [10:39] ...the problem remains. do I have to install grub or activate something if I update menu.lst? [10:39] Gordonjcp : using the network tools in system/administration. it says it can find whatever i type in. the traceroute and port scan come up with the local server though [10:39] rags: you need to modprobe the module for it at boot [10:40] Jackncoke23: okay, forget that bit and use a terminal [10:40] rags: well, any time really [10:40] i'll paste my menu.lst [10:40] !pastebin | ramontayag [10:40] ramontayag: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[10:44] well I searched and I found tht this driver does not work for this chipset. [10:44] rags: thats probably why you are getting the hangs [10:46] whoever asked, samba can be called from command line using "smbclient" [10:46] just restart x? but how is the x-server interfering with nic drivers? [10:46] kibibyte: i just found another guide with a block and its a different order to yours. I think it is significant but I cannot be sure http://paste.ubuntu.com/181909/ [10:47] rags: well if the system is "hung" it may just be the x server that has hung [10:47] ActionParsnip: when I modprobe de4x5(this is the driver tht is suppsed to work) everything hangs. So I gathered tht I can load the module at boot time [10:47] thx ActionParsnip [10:48] ActionParsnip: I just restarted the m/c now. I am wondering why it's hanging.. [10:48] rags: sure, just put its name in /etc/modules [10:48] rags: you'll need ksudo gedit /etc/modules to edit it [10:48] ActionParsnip:how to unload the old module...tulip..

[11:28] IceGuest_75: in the installer their is a slider [11:29] IceGuest_75: it should be self-evident when you install it .. or you can read the documentation... [11:29] ozzmosis, i don't want clients to scan ports here ! they told me portsentry is good package block open port scan ? is that right ? [11:29] IceGuest_75: u can go into windows partition and shrink its volume then use gpart to extend ur ubuntu partition into the free space [11:29] IceGuest_75: move it to select the partition size [11:29] System404: he wont do that :P [11:29] helper: I see. I've never used it. I use sshguard though. [11:29] why not shadeslayer [11:30] System404: because as he said ubuntu is not his primary OS and this is his 1st time....he wont like to shrink his Windows partition [11:30] shadeslayer he only needs to shrink it slightly by a gig or 2 [11:31] I shrink my windows 20 gig. but can't make the ubuntu partition bigger =S [11:31] ozatomic, okie so i'll install ir right now [11:31] would save him doin a reinstall [11:31] System404: hmmm...its really up to him === giuseppe is now known as Guest99585 [11:31] IceGuest_75: go into windows partition and shrink its volume then use gpart to extend ur ubuntu partition into the free space [11:31] But how? [11:32] spik germany [11:32] IceGuest_75: use gpart [11:32] ozatomic, automatic work or i should config ? [11:32] * shadeslayer reinstalls kde 4.3 [11:33] !gpart [11:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about gpart [11:33] I hate gimp :s [11:33] germany [11:33] hallo [11:33] System404: just a sidenote.....resizing from windows never worked for me :) [11:33] !de | Guest99585 [11:33] Guest99585: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

[11:34] gparted is simply the best [11:34] shadeslayer: would all depend on the position of your files on the drive how much u can shrink by its allways best to defrag before resizing [11:34] how do I format a partition with gparted to ntfs on my external hard drive? [11:34] it's grayed out [11:34] System404: maybe thats why it hung up on me :P [11:35] CrazyDavid91_: not sure you can format NTFS [11:35] CrazyDavid91_: you cant....ubuntu requires ext3 or later [11:35] CrazyDavid91_: you can!!! [11:35] i meant my external hard disk to store stuff [11:35] lemme recal [11:35] at least, there's no fsck.ntfs [11:35] or is ext4 better anyway? [11:35] shadeslayer: its also advised to to use the windows defrag as it wont move system files better to use something like partition magic it has a defrag feature that will move system mtf files so as to allow you to free up more space [11:35] or fsck.ntfs-3g [11:36] good morning can you help me to configur backup in ubuntu server 9.04 . tank you [11:36] CrazyDavid91_: ok you need to install libntfs [11:36] !rsync | didij [11:36] didij: rsync is a fast remote file copy and synchronization program - For more see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync [11:36] ok thanks shadeslayer [11:37] Use gparted in ubuntu or windows?

[11:46] Does the deskbar applet still exist in gnome? [11:46] sachael: try avidemux [11:46] yes it is [11:46] System404, do you know if this type of editing is possible with ffmpeg or that mplayer thing (can't remember the name) [11:47] i dnt think so there just players sachael go to add remove and look for avidemux thats what i use for video editing [11:47] System404, ok thanks, will look into avidemux === Guest80288 is now known as giuseppe [11:48] sachael: are you wanting to do frame-accurate mpeg-2 editing? cos I haven't found anything good for that. avidemux will give you sync issues if you use it on mpeg-2. I use videoredo under wine. it's a bit unstable but is usable. === giuseppe is now known as Guest58164 [11:49] Hello [11:49] ozzmosis : ?? [11:49] didij: what? [11:49] ozzmosis, what do you mean sync issues? If it is sound, I don't care, i don't need the sound anyway [11:49] man I really start to hate 9.04 !! [11:49] ¿ [11:49] ozzmosis : i want to know the configuration of backup into ubuntu server 9.04 [11:49] [not necessarily ubuntu related] if my system is spontaneously locking up at random intervals (on both vista and ubuntu for my dual boot system) what are the likely candidates, hardware-wise? [11:50] RAM? Run the memory test... [11:50] I want to remove all the whitespaces " " from the beginning of a file. How would i accomplish that? [11:51] didij: I'm not even sure if you want to backup FROM a Ubuntu server, or backup TO. if English isn't your first language, maybe you can try one of the non-English Ubuntu channels... [11:51] kmdm: thanks. [11:51] sachael: yeah, A/V sync. if you don't care about sound, AviDemux should be perfect. [11:51] tbaxter: There's a memory test option on the grub boot menu, let it run for 4-5 passes [11:51] yep, I know the one. [11:51] hi, i am looking for a special kernel/system that i can install on an existing installation which loads on boot a mini linux with ssh and some rescue tools into memory, so that i can repartition the disk etc.... [11:52] any list of players that support ipods and which ipods, with what functions? [11:52] cjk, system resque cd? [11:52] kmdm: when you refer to passes, though, do you mean passes over the RAM or complete scans? [11:52] sachael, only remote access, a cd or usb stick is not an option [11:52] tbaxter: complete scans I *believe* in memtest86+ [11:53] tbaxter: Um, ignore the latter part of that sentence, it went wrong ;) [11:53] could someone guide how to use downloaded system sound themes in my gnome desktop.. [11:53] Like, " AFILE" to "AFILE" [11:53] kmdm: so run the test for hours and hours and hours. [11:53] kmdm: on it [11:54] tbaxter: Pretty much, 4-5 complete scans should be good enough but as long as possible really :) [11:54] kmdm: thanks. [11:54] elli222: http://www.unixguide.net/unix/sedoneliner.shtml [11:54] tbaxter: If that passes, investigate something like cpu burn-in (and ideally have the BIOS set to poweroff if the cpu gets too hot) :) [11:55] mhh I should have been with 8.04... everything above it is a pain :S [11:55] MatBoy: what broke? [11:57] kmdm: awesome [11:57] sriramoman: ua go to system->preferences [11:57] anybody having issues with any repo's ? [11:57] GNUix: the official ones, you mean? [11:57] binnykt: then? [11:57] ozzmosis: those would be the ones [11:58] sriramoman: then go to sounds [11:58] ok, then? [11:58] GNUix: well there are mirrors all over the place, why not try one of those... [11:58] sriramoman: then u click on it [11:58] :-* [11:58] hi, i am connected to 2 networks, 1 via eth0 and the other over wlan0. but how can i tell firefox which 1 to use?

[11:59] sriramoman: [11:59] binnykt: I mean its not installed directly as in other themes as a package; we have to handpick them is it? [11:59] yup [11:59] oh k! [11:59] thanks [11:59] MatBoy: ah, binary stuff.. [11:59] sriramoman: well this one way [12:00] sriramoman: sometimes may not work since u have to be root to [12:00] ozzmosis: I couldn't find anything useful... [12:00] ok! [12:00] is ext4 anything special compared to ext3? [12:00] binnykt: I have root privileges though.. [12:00] ok [12:00] elli222: on that page, "delete leading whitespace (spaces, tabs) from front of each line " [12:00] which distro? [12:01] !ext4 | CrazyDavid91_ [12:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about ext4 [12:01] binnykt: ubuntu jaunty.

Is there an app that will act as a time clock like you would use at work to track your hours on a project? [12:01] oh fine:) [12:01] whileimhere: hamster-applet [12:01] CrazyDavid91_: ext3 is more than good enough for most people [12:02] CrazyDavid91_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4 [12:02] whileimhere: CVS could sort of do that. [12:02] i still use ext2 [12:02] Giving hamster a try [12:02] ozzmosis: sucks indeed [12:03] whileimhere: hamster is a great applet [12:03] using it right now :) [12:03] !info hamster [12:03] Package hamster does not exist in jaunty [12:03] !info hamster-applet [12:03] hamster-applet (source: hamster-applet): time tracking applet for GNOME.

[12:05] Im using 9.04 and i LOVE it [12:05] I'm still using dapper [12:05] Especially with EXT4 and all the massive improvments it comes with [12:06] didn't work, any package to block port scan? i'll be thankfull [12:06] does anyone know of a keyboard recorder for X, that can grab keypressed and save them as macros? [12:07] shortlord, u mean a keylogger? :P [12:08] Lloir, no, it shoud be able to regenerate these keypresses, so that I can use macros to do certain tasks [12:08] elli222: I wrote this a while ago.. it might help: http://paste.ubuntu.com/178259/ [12:08] is psad a good package to block open ports?

[12:10] and, crucially, *which* ports are open? [12:10] 31337 is't ok with this ? [12:11] helper: hrm [12:12] helper: 31337 is a "suspicious" port number, often associated with rootkits [12:12] helper: you might want to run rkhunter [12:12] gordonjcp, i install chkrootkit , is't good ? [12:12] helper: should do [12:12] helper: oooh - are you running an IRC bouncer? [12:13] helper: iirc psybnc uses 31337 as a default port === mirk_ is now known as mirk [12:14] gordonjcp: I think he's trying to tell us that he's deliberately running it [12:15] muhahaha. for all those who care (all zero of you) Ubuntu 9.04 still has support for the OS/2 HPFS filesystem (!). seems to have write support too.

[12:20] winterelf: when it boots or when you log in?? [12:21] erUSUL: yes [12:21] ozzmosis, i think your script ignores... whitespaces! [12:21] when it boots [12:21] erUSUL: when it boots :) [12:22] elli222: really? let me try :) [12:22] winterelf: you can make an init script for it based on /etc/init.d/skeleton or just call it from /etc/rc.local [12:22] anyone know of a short description of the terminal? [12:22] not the ubottu [12:22] erUSUL: just add it to the end of the doc? [12:23] i have 2 files, old1 (ls WITH whitespaces) and new1 (ls WITHOUT whitespaces). i feed them to your script and all the ones WITH witespaces cannot be found [12:23] winterelf: before the exit 0 line [12:23] elli222: wow, it does too [12:24] erUSUL: ok, thanks :) [12:24] elli222: see PM [12:24] How can I stop jaunty trying to hibernate a DESKTOP machine. The machine just [12:24] shuts down, it is driving me crazy! Just before it switches off I see [12:24] "performing hibernate" in /var/log/pm-suspend.log [12:24] how do I remove gdm in 9.04? When I do I lose all my sound and alsamixer reports back errors. Also startx isn't the proper way to start X then how do I do it? [12:25] erUSUL: wait... but how can i know where is the executable file of the software? [12:25] erUSUL: and what should i write? [12:25] winterelf: what software it is ? [12:25] erUSUL: yakuake [12:26] winterelf: yakuake is a graphical app (terminal emulatro) that needsa display and a user... you want to launch it when you log in not when the system boots [12:26] winterelf: System>Preferences>Session [12:26] sgbirch: is the screensaver set for that? its not laptop-mode package since desktop. I think if you disable swap then hibernating doesn't work. You can use gparted from a livecd to resize over the freespace from removing swap [12:27] erUSUL: ho.. i understand.. [12:27] winterelf: or the kde equivalent for that [12:27] erUSUL: ok.. [12:28] sgbirch: is this a fresh install you having trouble with? [12:28] I just [12:29] I just reinstalled Xubuntu and found out I forgot to do the menu.lst, so now the UUID is gone and it won't boot up... [12:29] h4mx0r: the screensaver config doesnt have the laptop options on the dialog so I cant enable/disable hibernate. This machines was upgraded from hardy-> intrepid -> jaunty if that helps. Do you know where the screensaver dialog writes the config [12:29] I think I can just remove UUID and do a root=/Dev/somethi+ng something, right ? [12:30] IamSOG: it works for fstab like that :) [12:30] h4mx0r so I need to edit the fstab ? [12:30] or find the UUID IamSOG [12:30] IamSOG: if you don't know then possibly you do because it handles things like that too [12:30] hey there, does anyone know how to add a new site to a tomcat webserver? (the tomcat file for httpd.conf) [12:31] that is true.. tahnks davenpro and h4mx0r I will go to Fstab and get the UUID to put on the menu.lst then... [12:31] !uuid [12:31] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [12:32] lol thakns erUSUL... but I can't even boot into ubuntu [12:32] IamSOG: you can do it from a livecd [12:32] IamSOG: or how you plan to redo the menu.lst ? [12:33] IamSOG: or copy what is in your fstab ? [12:33] sgbirch: well I totally don't know what to do. But I don't have those issues cause I use a separate /home and just reinstall the base system then reinstall used apps from export of synaptic's install history [12:33] h4mx0r: Do you know where the screensaver setup dialog saves the requested options? I suspect that is the problem as you suggest, but I will have to change it manually. [12:33] Hello. I just changed domainname, and i have public key authentication that only work with the ip or the old hostname... I tough i changed it everywhere, but it seems i was wrong about that... Any tips? Ive made new keys, but to no avail... [12:33] h4mx0r: unless I can make it think the machine is a laptop for a few minutes! [12:34] Can i use a digital Camera as webcam in ubuntu? any spec one? [12:34] sgbirch: which screensaver app you using? [12:34] it is gnome. System->preferences->Screensaver [12:35] thanks erUSUL ... My laptop have kind of a special PCMCIA CD-ROM so it won't boot with live CD of Ubuntu :D anyawy I got puppy linux boot up to edit [12:35] IamSOG: ok; good luck [12:35] sgbirch: stupid question but are you sure its hibernate and not just DPMS kicking in on the monitor? [12:35] gordonjcp, it give me for now 1 Warning: Suspicious files found in /dev/shm/pulse-shm-3277450081: data, what should i do with this ? thx [12:36] Hey iam trying to mount an iso file and it says: not in ISO 9660 format.. what to do? [12:37] heroin: how was it made? [12:37] heroin: find out what it actually is or if got corrupted [12:37] h4mx0r: no such thing as a stupid question! And I am extremely pleased to have somebody take an interest :-) The following is put in pm-suspend.log just before the machine goes down: Mon May 25 00:34:23 BST 2009: performing hibernate [12:37] heroin: did you just change the file to .iso or is it actually an iso? also did you try something like apt-get install gmountiso [12:38] heroin: do « file filename.iso » [12:38] heroin: file can identify most things === Andrew_Office is now known as formatCvt [12:38] h4mx0r: so I am pretty sure it is attempting a hibernate [12:39] sipior: i dont know [12:39] sgbirch: how did you tell it to shutdown? [12:39] erUSUL: its a confirmed working iso [12:39] h4mx0r: i did [12:39] erUSUL: sec [12:39] How can i stop users from accessing certain programs? [12:39] h4mx0r: that is the point .. I didnt tell it to shutdown === janne is now known as Skiessi [12:39] heroin: maybe it is udf and not iso. recheck [12:40] h4mx0r: after a period of inactivity it does that all by itself [12:40] erUSUL: SR-TCHAWX.iso: data [12:40] erUSUL: i think its an iso but not a iso9660 format iso.. [12:40] heroin: so it is some kind of image file of a cdrom/dvd ... [12:41] ozzmosis, using ckhunter, it give me for only 1 Warning: Suspicious files found in /dev/shm/pulse-shm-3277450081: data, what should i do with this ? thx [12:41] sgbirch: sgbirch: yeah thats a sort of power saving thing or something [12:41] heroin: does it come with a toc or cue file ? [12:41] h4mx0r: I suspect the power manager thinks I want it to hibernate after a period of inactivity. But I most certainly dont, this is the family server. It kills internet access when it goes down [12:41] heroin: the meaning of "iso" in this context is iso9660 format :-) [12:41] helper: I don't know anything about ckhunter [12:41] !hostname [12:41] Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts .

The daemons are started by /etc/init.d/... [12:44] erUSUL: iam not going to convert it.. [12:44] sgbirch: hey I got a question for you though. You got gdm disabled right? do you have sound? [12:44] sipior: thanks [12:45] h4mx0r: no, gdm is not disabled. I guess you would say this is a desktop on which I run a number of services (dhcp, bind, nagios) [12:45] sgbirch: which kernel is it using? === ninadsp is now known as ninad|away [12:45] h4mx0r: the machine has been around for ever, starting with debian sarge [12:46] h4mx0r: 2.6.28-11-server [12:46] noone any idea of tomcat? [12:47] h4mx0r: I run a server kernel because the longer scheduling interval is better suited to the daemons. Using it as a desktop is secondary [12:47] f31n: tomcat? [12:47] (13:31:14) f31n: hey there, does anyone know how to add a new site to a tomcat webserver? (the tomcat file for httpd.conf) [12:48] f31n: ive got it working (after hell...) but im afraid i cant help with that... :s [12:48] h4mx0r: I asked about the wrong dialog. It is the gnome power manager dialog box that would be used to request hibernate on a laptop. But that tab is missing on the non-laptop version [12:48] -,- [12:48] damn thx ,) [12:48] hi, got some probs with ubuntu 8.04: every now and then i get some segfaults from alot of apps when booting (including gdm) [12:48] last time, can i use a digital camera as webcam? (i don't want to waste money, otherwise) if yes, then are there any specific brands? [12:49] h4mx0r: I guess if I could figure out which config file the power manager dialog sets I could check it. I am pretty sure that is the problem. It may be something that was left in an undefined state by the upgrade from hardy to intrepid of intrepid to jaunty [12:49] well it depends on the digital camera [12:49] sgbirch: thats just stupid, I mean even desktop users like to save power [12:50] f31n: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/appdev/deployment.html just read :) [12:51] f31n: must be there somewhere [12:51] h4mx0r: well .. I am not commenting on the design decision but nevertheless the power manager tab is missing on my desktop machines and present on my laptops [12:51] hello [12:51] does anyone have experiences with Second Life under Ubuntu ? [12:51] How do i stop a user from accessing an application [12:51] sgbirch: check to see if its installed? [12:51] !anyone| frodon1 [12:51] frodon1: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [12:52] frodon1: yes [12:52] ok [12:52] i am connecting the network using a router, then how to know what GATEWAY and subnet mask should I set? [12:52] h4mx0r: I tell a lie (sorry). I just brought them both up. The missing tab is "On battery power" [12:52] frodon1: www.getdeb.net there [12:53] h4mx0r: But .. I see that the faulty machine has "put computer to sleep when inactive for" ... and that is set to never [12:53] why doesn't my swap get mounted? [12:53] I am using an (old) IBM thinkpad R50e, which has an Intel graphics chip - the machine is a relatively weak one but Ubuntu runs very fine (quicker and better than Win XP) - except Second Life [12:53] is there a way to kick the fan speed up to max with some utility? [12:53] SL is not usable - movements are almost not possible, the colors don't show up, etc [12:53] Machtin: check /etc/fstab and see, sysctl.conf has swap control parameters [12:53] it's encrypted swap.. with cryptsetup i think.. but it is not mounted on boot.. though it's in crypttab [12:53] hughszg: your router provides your internet connection yes? if so the IP of the router would generally be your gateway address. As for subnet mask, if your ip is something like 192.168.0.x then 255.255.255.0 would be the subnet mask [12:54] hello... i have a problem... when i try to run my game... it shows me an error instead... [12:54] Seems to have big problems with the graphics driver. On the same machine with Win XP it worked fine, but I am not willing to step back to Win === janne is now known as Skiessi [12:54] hi .. i just upgraded to 9.04 .. and i removed the notifications icon from the top task bar .. now i want to change its settings and i cant get it back .. [12:54] h4mx0r: fstab is fine.. actually /dev/mapper/cswap (that's what i called it) doesn't even exist. [12:54] JoeySpaz: which game? [12:54] helpers!! logitech game pad wingman precision <--- is it supports ubuntu? [12:54] please let me retrieve the error h4mx0r [12:54] thx olavimmanuel [12:54] h4mx0r: do you know where the power manager dialog places the configuration options when they are changed? [12:55] np [12:55] h4mx0r: I sure would like to take a look at that config file [12:55] kellyh: thank you sir [12:55] JoeySpaz: could you tell me which game? what video drivers? is it ran on wine? [12:55] hi .. i just upgraded to 9.04 .. and i removed the notifications icon from the top task bar .. now i want to change its settings and i cant get it back .. anyone? [12:55] h4mx0r: the game is Cube... and it uses openGL... and no it is ran by itself... [12:55] sgbirch: not a clue, try checking its man pages or opening its .deb and peeking [12:56] h4mx0r: ok [12:56] is there a way to kick the fan speed up to max with some utility? [12:56] hughszg: you're welcome, though its miss ;) [12:56] JoeySpaz: what graphics card you using [12:56] rosepetal: hmm .. I have been there, I think it is the Indicator Applet [12:57] h4mx0r: i am using ATI sapphire radeon X700 pro [12:57] kellyh: sorry it should be thank you lady :) [12:57] rosepetal: right click on the bar at the top and select add to panel [12:57] linduxed: all i am aware of is monitoring what the speeds are with lm-sensors, not sure of any fan-speed controller software on linux [12:57] h4mx0r: here is the error: ./bin_unix/linux_client: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [12:57] rosepetal: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading and be sure to fully update the system beforehand with either update-manager or apt-get update && apt-get upgrade [12:57] kellyh: thx [12:58] linduxed: most modern motherboards tend to autocontrol the fan speeds. of course you'll only get the fan speed details if the fan is connected to the fan headers on your motherboard. [12:58] h4mx0r: i tried to install a legacy ATI driver too. because planet penguin racer ran at 3 fps.. but when I rebooted the display went rHYE$Tj7w4^U6hu6rUYjudr, so I used the root shel mode to use envyng to un install it. but now i cant install desktop effects and all my 3D games run at 3 fps [12:59] h4mx0r: my computer is screwed... what should i do now?? [12:59] JoeySpaz: give me a moment looking up a few tweaks [12:59] ok [13:00] the hardware drivers section is empty D: [13:00] h4mx0r: ive already upgraded. i am just asking how i can bring back the notifications feature back on ... the one which controls the new notifications that come in black color [13:01] helpers!! logitech game pad wingman precision <--- can anyone tell me if it is compatible with ubuntu or not? [13:01] rosepetal: its in system > prefernces > startup applications [13:02] JoeySpaz: the issue is that your not being registered by the restricted driver manager and if you do install the proper driver xorg.conf isn't configured to use it [13:02] Wolf23: I have a logitech dual action gamepad and it worked right out of the box. Don't know abuot the wingman precision though. [13:03] h4mx0r: i see... what should I do to install the right driver and configure my computer to use it? [13:03] gnome-terminal sucks I can't see rest my desktop damn this overlapping is annoying!! [13:03] h4mx0r: why don't you put it on another workspace? [13:04] h4mx0r: its not in my startup applications since i removed it from the panel? not sure if that will happen though ... whats it called? [13:04] JoeySpaz: synaptic says xserver-xorg-video-radeon is a default package [13:05] JoeySpaz: you need to just set that in xorg.conf and everything should work great [13:05] :O maybe it got deleted when i uninstalled the crappy driver! [13:05] h4mx0r: how do I do that? [13:05] JoeySpaz: might want to apt-get install rovclock it probably does a few nice things like check thermal heat and etc [13:06] ??! [13:06] I have the standard Open Office installation - which is my preferred office product - and then I installed Lotus Symphony. Since that my text files (odt) open automatically with Symphony. [13:06] How can I switch back so that Open Office starts the odt files as a standard? [13:06] h4mx0r: how do i set it in xorg.conf? [13:07] JoeySpaz: there is a very nice indepth guide here http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/xorg.conf.5.html I use a nvidia card but I think you'd need xorg.conf to look something like this.. [13:07] h4mx0r: thanks, reading it now... [13:08] I have configured update-manager not to even check for updates. After a few days, it now puts a warning icon in the notification area that won't go away until I check for updates. How do I stop this nonsense? This and the frequent delays update-manager is causing is beginning to sour me on Ubuntu. They have made a few, (only a few) bad decisions, but none that get in the way this much. [13:08] frodon1: right click on any .odt file. Properties->Open with change to OpenOffice.org Word Processor. Should make all .odt files open automatically with Open Office [13:08] Will X server 1.6.1 get backported to Ubuntu 9.04? [13:08] Hi, I just bought a Samsung and have the display configured properly to 1900x1200. I want to be able to close the lid of my laptop which is attached and not have the main screen turn off. Any ideas? [13:09] how on earth do you cat a file that starts with a -, e.g. -4992 [13:09] h4mx0r: the video adapter section says this: Nobody wants to say how this works. Maybe nobody knows ... [13:09] Brucevdk: Try System->Preferences->Power Management [13:09] put quotes around the name, Keloran [13:09] Keloran: -- means end of params. [13:09] Iirc. [13:10] Keloran, escape it? [13:10] \-4992 [13:10] Arcitens: I still want the laptop screen to turn off though, but I'll take a looksie [13:10] doesnt work, i just get "invalid option 4" [13:10] http://pastebin.com/m2baaa418 [13:10] JoeySpaz: check that [13:10] Arcitens: wow [13:11] Keloran: Which solution did you try? :p [13:11] cat \-453032392 == cat: invalid option -- '4' [13:11] Keloran: cat -- -4992 [13:11] Arcitens: didn't expect that to work, looks like it does, the laptop screen will always turn off when you disable lid close [13:11] Brucevdk: Glad to hear it worked. [13:11] cat --453032392 == Unknown option argument: "--453032392" [13:11] h4mx0r: i found xorg.conf, and these lines I think are something to do with it: [13:11] Section "Device" [13:11] Identifier "Configured Video Device" [13:11] Driver "vesa" [13:11] EndSection [13:11] JoeySpaz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:11] JoeySpaz: some the things in that guide are obsolete especially since ubuntu uses hal to handle peripherals [13:11] Keloran: You're doing it wrong. [13:12] Keloran: escaping the - won't work here. try cat -- -4992 [13:12] Keloran: Follow instructions. [13:12] yeah, sorry, that works [13:12] Hey there has anybody got the background with the blue thing in the middle in there jaunty jackelope it is a default one but my new install doesn't have it [13:12] h4mx0r: should i replace vesa with xserver-xorg-video-radeon? [13:12] JoeySpaz: yeah /etc/X11/xorg.conf if you ever can't find a file do sudo updatedb and locate file [13:13] Arcitens: Thank you! (Works perfectly ... and it was so easy ...) [13:13] do I need to use the alternate install CD to install with hard disk encryption? [13:13] an online guide I used made it appear so [13:14] azeotrope: encryption is on the alternate cd [13:14] h4mx0r: i'll try changing my xorg.conf to bits that you used [13:14] ok, thanks. is there only one option for the encryption program (no truecrypt)? [13:14] sabah [13:14] Somebody must have that background it is like a blue crystal type ubuntu logo on white stand [13:14] hallo there [13:14] azeotrope: i dont know, i have the live cd [13:15] k thanks [13:15] yw [13:15] i need your help [13:15] conb123: try looking on www.gnome-look.org if no one here has the wallpaper you're looking for [13:15] anybody can help me how to install messenger in ubuntu os?

Never bothered using YIM... Thanks. [13:19] never tried empathy TuxPurple how is it? [13:20] eMaX: exactly [13:20] so i cannot install that software? [13:20] endtask89: why? [13:20] endtask89, yes you can [13:20] h4mx0r, had trouble getting the sound to work but it's fine. [13:20] endtask89, but that would require you to get a windows environment on linux [13:20] h4mx0r: thanks very much, you saved my computer [13:20] actually i'm new comer bout ubuntu [13:21] endtask89, which you can get using wine or crossover office or vmware [13:21] i dont know which command to type [13:21] hi, [13:21] if I rightclick the gnome desktop and choose create launcher, nothing happens. Is there a way to manually create a shortcut by editing file somewhere? [13:21] JoeySpaz: any other questions? You try checking out wine, getdeb, playonlinux for other gaming things? [13:22] h4mx0r: yeah... how do I use a better driver, planet penguin racer still runs at 3 fps- even though my other games work fine# [13:22] coolguy4: works for me. sounds like a GNOME bug... [13:22] endtask89, what do you mean? [13:22] ok [13:22] thanks for nothing [13:23] JoeySpaz: hmm I think that is abug specifically to do with planet penguin racer.

[13:25] Hi all: when changing the preferred media application to vlc in 9.04, the default application stays rhythmbox. I've also ran gnome-settings-applications-properties as root, didn't work either. On the forum it said right-clicking an .avi and doing open with other application -> vlc should set it as default, but this doesn't work either. I'm guessing there's a problem with permissions somewhere?

[15:47] scott9876: simplest if you just ask your question directly. if no one knows the answer, no one will answer :-) [15:47] IceGuest_75: what is it you tryin to do [15:47] h4mx0r: IceGuest_75 can probably just do that [15:48] IceGuest_75: I am little confused at to what you have and what you want. [15:48] scott9876: all I know is its a daemon that does transports of server data. I think nautilus interfaces with it. I'm not too certain of its use but I have used gamin and fam before [15:48] is there anyway, in gnome, to align desktop icons to the right without having to do it manually? [15:48] h4mx0r: will it do the job well to backup laptop data to server [15:49] On my PC: 2 ubuntu, 1 Windows. 1 working ubuntu and 1 ubuntu who don't work [15:49] Nobody here with a Tablet PC?

[15:49] sipior: any good links to set this up [15:49] IceGuest_75: can you still get into windows and the 2 ubunut? [15:50] misfitx7: nautilus controls the gnome desktop. And gconf-editor has some settings you can browse through. Try checking forum [15:50] scott9876: have a look at "unison", which makes use of rsync for underlying transport. easiest way to start. [15:50] resno: yes i can use all of them [15:50] scott9876: the rsync man page is also full of handy examples. [15:50] scott9876: "man rsync" on console gives you some help [15:50] sipior: thanks, doing that now. You have a setup? [15:50] IceGuest_75: do you want to keep your windows install? [15:50] coz, i have googled it and found others requesting the same, but no solutions [15:50] resno: yes! [15:51] scott9876: i use a different method at the moment, but have used unison quite a bit in the past.

Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [15:53] vovapoker21: you can try using wine but some of those programs may not work out of the box. [15:53] vovapoker21: what is SplitCam and JustCamIt ? [15:53] hi.. my webcam just disappeard from the audio devices i choose in skype, any idea why and how to fix it? [15:53] supersasho: is it plugged in?

[15:54] shiznebit: when i reboot sometimes it helps [15:55] Hello [15:55] supersasho: not a clue but you can restart its driver using "lsmod" for list of our drivers then "lsmod webcam" or something to find it and "rmmod thatdriver" to remove it then "modprobe thatdriver" to start it back [15:55] shiznebit: but sometimes not and i have to reboot again [15:55] What are some essential system administration commands for me to learn? [15:56] OMG! i have a HP pavillion =( schould i use Gparted?? [15:56] bunchofgibberish, you should probably take that question to !offtopic.

How can I make a boot menu to choose wether to boot clonezilla or ubuntu live [15:56] supersasho: if it plugs into usb then check lsusb for extra info. try playing with plugs or rebooting perhaps. see what dmesg outputs [15:56] IceGuest_75: answer my pm ill talk you through what you have to do [15:56] bunchofgibberish: this is a good start: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine [15:56] can you help me? how i can install xubuntu karmic 9.10 with wubi??

For example when I lsmod there is a module called cfg80211 which a wlan module. How do I 'update' modules? Is it like windows find the newest and install, how does it work? [15:57] orte: wubi + alpha = bad idea [15:58] well we cant help if he dont reply lol [15:58] with wubi?i can't because don't exist wubi 9.10! [15:58] hopefully koala fixes all these errors with jaunty [15:58] there is someone that know a little ubiquity's code? [15:58] orte: Why do you need to do it through wubi? [15:58] h4mx0r: the video works just fine in cheese and also in skype, so just the audio is problem.. with lsmod i have a long output there, and i'm not much smarter out of it :) [15:59] I am starting to loose faith in Ubuntu ever fixing errors [15:59] because i can't with cd [15:59] anyone know how i can get firefox and ubuntu to work so that I can attach/upload files etc over a network share/samba share? i can see the files, but attaching them does nothing [15:59] i don't find wubi 9.10 :( [15:59] idk jaunty debmirror is broken for me :-( [15:59] it deleted 14G of my local repo :-( [15:59] LordMetroid: Then become part of the solution, sign up for 5-a-day or so [15:59] supersasho ah lsmod doesn't search try sudo su then lsmod | grep "webcam" [15:59] AdvoWork: have you mounted the network share? [15:59] supersasho: are you taling about the mic on the camera, or the speakers ? [16:00] hi [16:00] shiznebit supersasho he says both [16:00] genii, I can't, I need to eat [16:00] shiznebit: am talking about the mic in the web cam [16:00] AdvoWork: Can you manually copy the files in question to your desktop? I wonder if perhaps you for whatever reason can't read the files. [16:00] is it possible to display only a par of a window ? [16:00] I am getting some errors when I shutdown my system, but they are visible only for less than a second, how to view those errors (2) [16:01] gribouille: a par?

[16:01] Vlet, yeah if i copy to a local directory it works fine [16:01] Dr_willis: Yes, it was in there. I delete and try to login again. Hope this was it. Thank you. [16:01] shubbar: use top, find the process id and kill it [16:01] gribouille: you mean strip the decoration and just display it then use some key for movement like alt to grab [16:01] :( pleaseee really don't have a way to install 9.10 with wubi????:( [16:01] supersasho: for sound in : USB ...... . This part just disappears your saying ? [16:01] shiznebit: exactly [16:01] frodon1: lesson to rember.. :) the package manager system does NOT (and should not) mess with the users personal config settings. [16:02] AdvoWork: so, what happens when you try to do the upload via samba; does firefox upload an empty file, does it hang, or what? [16:02] orte: i would reccomend testing out ubuntu in virtualbox, rather then using wubi. [16:02] h4mx0r, I have a web page in firefox, but I just want to display a part of this page [16:02] supersasho: does the camera still work ? [16:02] orte: why use wubi? just dl the latest test iso and use unetbootin on a usb [16:02] in a usb? [16:02] supersasho: when that happens [16:02] how have tried to install ubuntu from usb?

[16:03] Vlet, it does nothing, basically the file shows, but wont copy across the network, ie i click upload, select a file, and it does nothing(it acts like its uploaded) [16:03] maybe with 9.10 can install i don't know, wathever tanks :) [16:03] would you guys recommend using ubuntu server or desktop for using vbox? [16:03] shiznebit: the camera is just fine.. i see video from it in cheese and also when i test it in skype.. just the audio is the issue [16:03] orte: you could tell the channel the actual problem you are having.. we are just saying that Wubi is a PAIN. :) [16:03] shubbar: yes, is it working? [16:03] i have a fresh install of hardy but python is not working properly [16:03] resno, or "sudo pkill 'process name' [16:03] h4mx0r, it displays the window full screen [16:03] resno, its not working [16:04] ok i'm going to need somehelp with a wireless networking problem [16:04] Treyh: i dont see what one would gain by using the server.

Perhaps you mean adblocking, caching, dnslookups? what? [16:05] shiznebit: i see the usb device, but the audio isnt working on it.. Logitech quickzoom webcam.. not quite shure which type [16:05] system404 - i can not go any where. i [16:05] Dr_Willis: I was hoping it would use less ram [16:05] ops [16:06] jackncoke23: u mean u cant visit any web pages [16:06] shiznebit: and some software solution?! :) [16:06] !u | System404 [16:06] System404: U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet.

I reconfigured it again but it still not working [16:06] shiznebit: till few days ago, i had no problem with it.. and i did not any upgrades whatsoever [16:06] jackncoke23: pm me [16:06] resno, what model do you have?

[16:07] shiznebit: yes right know.. i could reboot and it maybe work, but thats 50:50 chance [16:07] Treyh: run desktop and use a minimal desktop/window manager.. i guess if you are that worried about it.. Or if you know how to run/configure vbox from the cli. just dont run X. i guess [16:07] gribouille: hold ctrl and scroll with the middle mouse button [16:07] shubbar: i can print to it, but it comes out in one font with stripes through the text.

So I can basically only left-click on anything once, and in order to focus anything else I have to right-click then left-click ! Any ideas on what could be causing this?

[16:16] alright but I just want to be sure that by changing menu.lst it will uninstall the kernel? [16:16] bunchofgibberish: no, it will just tell the system to use the old one. No need to uninstall [16:16] Xcell: ah I got one those brothers model without color ink. Its a non inkjet type, very sturdy and longlasting. Last printer kept crapping ink everytime it booted or had to print. wasted so much cash [16:16] resno: ok thanks I will check [16:16] bunchofgibberish: you're more likely to break something if you try to remove it [16:17] doesn't hurt to try lol [16:17] bunchofgibberish: it wil not exactly "uninstall", it is not in the registry orso, when you boot you can choose witch kernel you want to handle your hardware [16:17] h4mx0r- they are good.. i installed brothers for the whole school system here.. maybe ill check them out.. thx [16:17] so I just got a new external back up drive that will be used on linux and mac os X what file system should I format it to?

[16:29] hI. i JUST installed ubuntu, but im not sure of how to get into the control panel [16:30] Hey guys. A friend wants to install Ubuntu on an external hard drive. I was wondering does the installer have an option to do that or do you use USB startup disk creator? [16:30] He also wants to use part of the hard drive with Vista so should he use a FAT partition as well? [16:30] In fact... would it be possible to use the FAT partition as the /home partition? [16:30] yaaar: you mean show system try icon? in preferecens? [16:30] resno: yeah [16:30] yaaar: hmm.. you might need to enable the nautilus integration plugin [16:30] Agreed. [16:30] anybody [16:31] Yankefish: did you ask a question? [16:31] yaaar: no, but he needs an "expert" asap [16:31] mounted my hdd now i believe my header is corrupt [16:31] I HAVE A BOMB. I AM GOING TO DETONATE IT NOW. [16:31] * Vov boom [16:31] don't jump to accuse guys... [16:32] yeah in installed truecrypt, for ubuntu [16:32] hi.. my usb webcam just disappeard from the audio devices i can choose in skype, the video works, just the audio disappeared.. any idea why and how to fix it? [16:32] boss_mc: wasn't accusing...but what you pasted was not a question. [16:32] Yankefish: how do you know something is wrong. [16:32] after mounting hdd, i rebooted now i think header is corrupt is there any way to recover' [16:32] Yankefish: why do you think its corrupt? [16:32] Hey guys. A friend wants to install Ubuntu on an external hard drive. I was wondering does the installer have an option to do that or do you use USB startup disk creator? [16:33] He also wants to use part of the hard drive with Vista so should he use a FAT partition as well? [16:33] Got a question about volume control. I want to record live sound in, but every time I have to unmute Capture under Recording tab. Every time I close out volume manager it remutes. [16:33] So.......... how do I KEEP it unmuted? [16:33] Yankefish: we need a bit more info then that [16:33] its not showing up and the hdd is showing as raw now [16:33] In fact... would it be possible to use the FAT partition as the /home partition? [16:33] teapot: it is possible, but very unadviceable [16:33] Myrtti: Alrighty. Thanks. [16:33] isaac_: try repharsing your question, if you see no one is answering. instead of copy-pasting it. [16:33] O_O_O_O_O__O_O_O [16:34] so what can i do [16:34] teapot: as to your first question, i'm pretty sure the ubuntu installer can use the usb device like any other hard drive. just choose that device in the partitioning [16:34] anyone know how to do a match with sed to replace one word with multiple words and symbols? [16:34] teapot just be sure in the last install step to hit the advanced tab and have GRUB write to the USB external hard drive. [16:34] Otherwise you will need the external attached every time you reboot. [16:34] teapot: and yes, you can use a FAT volume for home. performance sucks and you might have permissions/attribute problems [16:34] isaac_ & yaaar: thanks very much guys [16:34] Vov: Please troll in #troll [16:34] Yankefish: did you set it up to encrypt that drive? [16:35] resno I have no idea how else to rephrase it. When I close out volume control the input recording remutes itself. [16:35] yeah drive was encrypted, [16:35] Yankefish: so you expect it to show up as random data, right? that was the point. [16:35] I've found others reporting the same problem on the forum, but no solutions as yet. [16:35] h4mx0r: i know a few mo ago.. i googled and found sevral 100+ example sed/awk regular expression 'quick answer/examples/faq's' What you are asking ias bsaically replace one word ie: 'good' with a phrase 'is more perfered' (for example) [16:36] yeah i want it as random data but now i cant decrypt it because header is damaged [16:36] heet/fatafeat [16:36] q: what is the smallest 9.04 distro? the server ed? [16:36] Yankefish: what header? [16:36] the hdd header for the encrypted file?? [16:36] Thanks again. See ya [16:36] i cannot access drive anymore i can see it but it shows as raw data now [16:36] Yankefish: but you've encrypted the whole disk, right? not just a file? [16:37] yes whole disk, external 500 gigs [16:37] salut je vous embrase* [16:37] Yankefish: what does the truecrypt documentation say about booting from an encrypted volume? [16:37] there faq says that my header may be damaged and i can either restore, reformatt [16:38] i dont wnt to format as there is 500 gigs of data on drive [16:38] this is when it pays to have backups. [16:38] i want to repair the header file so i can access and backup the data [16:38] h4mx0r: my usb webcam just disappeard from the audio devices i can choose in skype, the video works, just the audio disappeared.. any idea why and how to fix it? [16:39] Yankefish: i'm still not sure what header file you're referring to. have you got the truecrypt boot loader installed?

Bug is, in Volume Manager, under Recording options, audio recording keeps remuting itself. I unmute it, Audacity records from mic port fine. I close out Volume Control and audio recording from mic is muted again. [16:40] Yankefish: so you haven't encrypted the boot volume, is that correct? [16:40] the i insert a password but when i go to select hdd its just says hdd 0 500 gig, it should have a header first then the hdd [16:40] has anyone used a advan touch screen monitor with ubuntu?

[16:42] isaac_: true i guess lol [16:42] Xcell yup [16:42] ok [16:43] i read the faq t says if restore isnt working i must find the end of the header using hex edit [16:43] hi [16:43] how i can install the GLIB ?

[17:10] jarpet: I don't think you need the "/" before 'Park' [17:10] savedefaults makes grub default to the last used entry [17:11] andreas: but you need to create a defaults file first [17:11] jarpet: you just want to quote the space, yes? [17:11] andreas: just remove that line and it should be fine [17:11] so ..it'll work now? o_O [17:11] andreas: hopefully!

[17:15] jarpet: with quotation marks :-) [17:16] hello! [17:16] something_clever: it might be that you have a couple different plugins trying to play the file, do you have vlc installed? I think they have an flv plugin [17:16] andreas: are the savedefaults lives still there? [17:16] need a re-posting of the grub list?

Pidgin doesn't seem to give me that feature or plug-in. Psi is the only other I see but does it have that feature on notifying you of new emails vai Gmail? [17:20] it is ..."/media/disk" in Nautilus, but that's just Ubuntu's path there ..right? [17:20] ElectricHeavyLan, use gmail through Thunderbird [17:21] the /var/log/gdm/\:0.log tells mee that x started ok, but no log in troubles. does anyone know gdm process after the password is entered??? is there a session log or something [17:21] Has anyone in here managed to get the Global Access List working with evolution-mapi? [17:21] andreas: that has no bearing on the (hdX,X) unfortunately [17:21] ElectricHeavyLan, with gmail imap + Thunderbird = popup notifications,,, or you can use Evolution to do the same [17:21] I need something that will notify me immediately when I get an email, like Google Talk does on Win [17:22] eseven73: oh [17:22] so set it for checking email every minute [17:22] :) [17:22] ElectricHeavyLan: Thunderbird and set it to update every 2 seconds? [17:22] seconds would be a bit resource intensive I would think, Andreas [17:22] didn't realize Thunderbird has popup notifications. [17:23] I have Vista and Fedora10 on a partitioned drive.

[17:46] I'm working right now, army gives me what they have, and tell me to do itt :/ [17:46] oh [17:46] daniel2, i doubt there will be a funtioning work around for the regular livecd, xubuntu alt really is best for your system... good luck.

[18:00] ZykoticK9: thanks to you too :) [18:00] azeotrope_, wojtek , no just kill pid [18:01] that's what I was thinking [18:01] zimbres, kill it like you mean it [18:01] caodagua: You calculate the offsett from the beginning of the disk, then again use dd to get it. I do not know the exact math involved for the computing of the individual partitions or their length however. [18:02] azeotrope_, you mean kill -9 pid? this will kill all my processes isn't it? [18:02] zimbres, no [18:02] genii can you give some hints to look information on this subject ? [18:02] zimbres, it will kill only the pid you specify [18:02] caodagua: I found originally an article on this subject when trying to find how to mount specific partition in a dd'd entire disk image. you might be able to find the info in the same way [18:02] zimbres, you can use killall if you want to list the name of the process instead [18:02] zimbres, killall -9 [18:03] genii sorry I didn't catch that .... I'm not english [18:03] zimbres, looks like root.exe is some sort of malware/virus - why are you trying to run this? if it is an exe then it's really wine that you should try to be killing.

[18:09] zimbres, ok legitimate root.exe - have you tried compiling instead of using the windows version? anyways - good luck man. [18:09] MadAGu: sorry misread the on as or. My font sucks for that. [18:09] MadAGu: There is no official way of doing that, either wait for the packages to go into -updates or -backports. [18:10] Pici: read the on as an or. Sorry. [18:10] he doesn't even ned to compile I think there are binaries for linux for ROOT [18:10] kravlin: no problem :) [18:10] kravlin: That command upgrades the release to the next *development* release, which is Karmic at this point, and is very unstable and unsupported. [18:10] running the windows version in linux is silly, ROOT works in linux. [18:10] natively. [18:10] Pici: i figured. I figured he was running 8.10 and wanted to update to 9.04 [18:10] Pici: as i said. I misread on as or. [18:11] question 2: how can i make the notifications appear instead of top right , down right? [18:11] Shortguy109, Audacity - Edit / Preferences - Recording Device - try the various options... see if any work. [18:11] I run the windows version of Firefox, and Flash, at home, both work on linux natively...just not as well as the windows versions under WINE xD [18:11] ZykoticK9: i've tried them all [18:11] MadAGu, down right? you mean bottom right? [18:11] kravlin: Even so, the -d means the development release, not a stable release. [18:11] Shortguy109, can you record from Mic or Line in with other programs? [18:11] eseven73: yes my mistake [18:12] ZykoticK9: yeah i can record with a mic, but i want to record using my preamp [18:12] Pici: odd. that's how i upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04. What's the correct way to do that? [18:12] IHS_Intern: you really shouldnt... [18:12] Is there an advantage to using UUIDs in fstab of just using the /dev files [18:12] FatsDominoTheory: yup [18:12] tones, I can't play a flash game I really like with the linux version of flash, and heavy flash slows the native version down to a crawl, while the windows version runs fine [18:12] Shortguy109, ? don't understand your setup / issue i guess. good luck. [18:12] ZykoticK9, I am not using windows version, I installed from source code. The whole thing is that put it in the background with Ctrl Z in the terminal I was running it, and then was not being able to kill it with kill. But kill -9 solved the problem. [18:12] kravlin: use -c if anything. [18:12] FatsDominoTheory: if you rearrange your partitions, the uuid stays the same [18:13] zimbres, .exe is a windows thing??? [18:13] hi [18:13] zimbres, fg will bring it back to the foreground [18:13] kravlin: It only worked for you because Karmic probably wan't open when you tried. [18:13] FatsDominoTheory: the /dev files are more likely to change, for instance if you add or remove a disk or controller, the /dev names might all change, but the uuids will all still stay the same [18:13] Pici: ok. i'll do that from now on. Thanks for the info! [18:13] IHS_Intern: fair dues, but defeats the point of linux really [18:13] kravlin: sure, np. [18:13] ZykoticK9, the people who wrote root are strange, they might call the binary root.exe [18:13] !hi | pARAd0X85 [18:13] pARAd0X85: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [18:13] Hey guys.

[18:49] Shortguy109: That's OK. I'll look around for it. This is my fault for experimenting. I seem to recall an option to make compiz store it's settings in a flat file vis "somewhere else". If I set that option I'd just be able to edit the config file.

[18:52] Yankefish: then just change what you need to change.. eg restore a backed up header or whatever [18:52] i have no idea how to hex edit [18:52] Shortguy109: I found that but no config file in it as expected. I just nuked the .compiz directory and the .config/compiz diretory in the hopes it will work. [18:53] Yankefish: youd have to be superman to be able to read the hex for the assembly code that it is, nobody will help you with that. you just need to replace the header with a backup or something [18:53] Whenever I go to record my guitar through audacity, after i choose the USB in preferences & recording device and try to record it says "Error while opening sound device. Please check the input device settings and the project sample rate" can anyone help? [18:53] kerebrus, i'd check the site you downloaded it from for uninstall documentation or forums. this is why using the offical ubuntu drivers make things easier to support under ubuntu - until your comfortable with the whole linux thing it's probably best to stick to the repositories. good luck.

Also see !patience [18:53] so i'm looking to run a program on one machine and have the display on another. is this fairly easy to set up for individual programs? or is this a sort of deal where "everything" would run on the remote and the localhost would essentially act like a thin client? [18:54] yeah i didnt make a backup so i need to hexedit the old partition and extract the end of the header [18:54] Yankefish: if the header is corrupt, and you have no backup, youre stuffed..

Deleting the files didn't work. However, I had to fly blind and where I remembered the terminal icon being then typing compiz-switch blindly and hitting enter. that turned off compiz and I went into the compiz-confg manager and turned off blur. Then compiz-switched it back on. Now we are all good again. Thanks.

[18:59] up to this point, i switch over to windows copy it down using a gui program, then copy over. i want to make terminal do my bidding [18:59] tones: shutdown works only from command line, no gui [18:59] i think that font-aliasing makes the fonts look ugly on my nc10 screen [18:59] resno if youre able to copy a file to it then just use almost the same command ;) scp local-file user@server:/home/user or scp user@server:/user/remote-file ~ for example [18:59] it's odd though, if you suggest someone use a GUI, then they want terminal commands, and if you suggest they use terminal, they want to give up and run back to windows, go figure :) [18:59] can i disable that somewhere? [18:59] resno, a very cool terminal command to learn about it something called screen - there are even terminal bittorrent clients that together with screen take close to 0 CPU cycles. the terminal is very powerful. [19:00] rignes: alright, thx [19:00] koichirose: the guy should alert... on idea then [19:00] kerebrus ... u can put in the 8.10 version and install it [19:00] it worked perfectly well for me [19:00] tones: what? no it doesnt [19:00] options [19:00] ZykoticK9: screen? ill look into that [19:01] koichirose: my bad. im no superman.. i hardly use guys anymore anyway [19:01] np [19:01] Hi, I attempted to compile the zaptel source obtained from the ubuntu repos and it produced an error.

[19:50] sweetde: not so much for you as for anyone googling the logs, btw ;-) [19:50] I think the notification "ONLY use this trigger in emergencies" is really great. It's like have a female operator voice say "please only use the fire alarm in emergencies" _after_ you press the button [19:50] If I partition my drive into two parts on osx.

[19:50] Pici: xmorfis is being an ass to lots of people [19:50] not that I know, I just don't see a volume control in the panel [19:50] Pici: hes sending rude garbage to all of us in pm [19:50] yeah... please ban xmorfis... stupid PMs [19:51] Pici: He is spamming us [19:51] Pici: thanks :) [19:51] jonaskoelker: it's so that those that have seen used know not to use it in vain [19:51] I have a user with a gutsy workstation, do they need to do an 'apt-get upgrade' in order to get any package updates, or are there still updates for gutsy gibbon?

[20:19] Algyz: ext4 is ext3 backward compatible [20:19] Algyz: unlikely. ext4 only recently became part of the kernel. I don't believe ubuntu backports it to that dist... but I could be wrong. [20:20] nah i need to restore my header on a external hdd that was encrypted [20:20] hi, i need help... i've encrypted my home directory and now i can't access it [20:20] Slart: Who would mount it that way though? [20:20] ext4 is backwards compatable with ext and 2 [20:20] since i changed my password.. [20:20] Algyz: how was that ext4 fs created [20:20] Algyz: so yes -- it will see it. [20:20] RandomUbuntu7437: someone who wants to use his/her /home on multiple systems? =) [20:20] how can i disable eth0 ?

[20:22] when ext3 just needs that little extra push [20:22] RandomUbuntu7437: but seriously though... I agree.. using ext4 like that would be a bit odd.. [20:22] someone aught to tell wiizy that Mirc is NOT IRC. such a common assumption. [20:22] dodo1, that reset all the connections but it came right back up [20:22] Hey guys. How can i make a file executable? [20:22] anybody know how to restore a header on a truecrypt drive [20:23] SirStan, sorry... I was wrong. An ext4 filesystem can be mounted as an ext3 partition.

[20:23] Raex93: righ click on it properties permissions [20:23] :/... did you add the eth0 before it? [20:23] mirc still charge $ ? [20:23] that's weird [20:23] In the upgrade instructions for Gutsy to Hardy LTS, it states to make sure that the packages are updated (i.e. apt-get update), is there a static apt repository I should point my sources.list at to make sure gutsy is up to date prior to upgrading?

[20:25] Swish: computer is freezing sometimes, I'd like to know a problem :| [20:25] urUSRL* [20:25] kerebrus: there is a "prepend" keyword in the dhcp config file.. it lets you define a dns server to use before using the ones from the dhcp server [20:25] hacker_kid: try ifdown eth0 [20:25] kerebrus, sudo chmod +i /etc/resolv.conf if im not mistaking [20:25] kerebrus: note.. this is a setting for the dhcp-client configuration.. not the dns-server config [20:25] im not sure how's that different though :S [20:25] 15mins later, fsck.ext4 is repairing my 160gig external. dont know WHAT happend to it [20:26] Does anyone have an idea why I can only write on my new ext3 partitions as root, and its not the permissions... i have defealts in fstab... [20:26] Algyz, yeah it's frequently tough to figure out the cause of computer freezes [20:26] Slart which dhcp config file? [20:26] Algyz, any hints in the syslog or dmesg or whatnot after it freezes and you reboot? maybe some error messages? [20:26] Phibes: if you can write to it as root and not as your regular user I'm pretty certain it's a permissions problem =) [20:26] kerebrus, sorry it's sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf [20:26] Well that did it. fuser -k /dev/admmidi* /dev/adsp* /dev/amidi* /dev/audio* /dev/dmfm* /dev/dmmidi* /dev/dsp* /dev/dspW* /dev/midi0* /dev/mixer* /dev/music /dev/patmgr* /dev/sequencer* /dev/sndstat /proc/asound/dev/* /dev/sound/* /dev/snd/* ; rmmod $(lsmod | grep snd | cut -d\ -f1) ; modprobe snd-hda-intel (mplayer -ao alsa) No more paludis audio... but how do I get that darn thing working so I don't have to do that in the futur [20:27] kerebrus: /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf might be one likely culprit [20:27] Can someone remind me of something? There was an article I read years ago when I first made the switch to Linux by some somewhat famous SciFi writer that talked about all the various OS's out there? It compared each one to types of cars? Anyone know what I'm talking about?

[21:05] Vlet, i need your address, some guys here are gonna wanna send you some beer [21:05] SvB, open a terminal, change to the directory with the bin, "chmod +x .bin", then "./.bin" [21:05] AnRkey: lol [21:05] Hey guys. I need help. Im trying to find a way to fix my Intel 450 GMA video card. I keep getting static where some images should be (such as the loading bars in games and the multiplier bar in frets on fire). I also had a much worse problem, but then i turned off all of the desktop effects and Compiz. I have an HP Mini 1030, so on UNR the sound doesnt work. Im on Ubuntu 8.10 right now because it is the only one with working sound.. [21:05] cptblood, "ssh -X" to the machine to forward that machine's X window to you, then "sudo gnome-language-selector" [21:05] AnRkey: google man... first result ;) http://www.google.com/#hl=en&safe=off&q=ubuntu+protocol+association&fp=_UEUKuoNNPk [21:05] maccam94: dpkg wont help you here.. i can only suggest again, manually delete it.. [21:06] frodon1, the only scanner type program I've ever used is Sane, don't know if there is an alternative??? Good luck. [21:06] tones: you can't just manually delete it, dpkg will continue attempting to install it [21:06] yigal, still trying to load that page [21:06] erUSUL: but could you explain to me why swap is slower than RAM? I mean obviously it makes sense, I just don't know _why_ it makes sense. A link to any article/documentation on it would also suffice [21:06] yigal, our internet access is a bit slow down here in south africa [21:06] ZykoticK9: Thank you. === Guest59044 is now known as sirderigo [21:06] * chiques is away: I'm busy [21:06] logikal_, HD are much slower the RAM [21:06] maccam94: i thought you sed dpkg didnt think it was installed? [21:06] hatter243: might need xterm & appname [21:06] tones: it is a *BROKEN* package [21:06] partially installed [21:07] ZykoticK9: Yes, I know. but I'd like to know why. lol -- I'm an information hungry person :\ [21:07] logikal_: swap is in a HardDisk access to a hard disk is 50-60 MB/s acces to ram are in the thousans GiB/s several order of magnitude difference [21:07] erUSUL: Thank you very much. [21:07] logikal_, Hard Drives have moving parts, RAM does not... [21:07] vlet, u'r going to think i'm a nut... i dont think i used the word ubuntu in my search :P [21:07] maccam94: and youre out of space.... (why operate with such little free space?!) perhaps extend your partition and shrink your swap temporairily? [21:07] hatter243: i dont follow you, how do i execute ssh -X, tried from prompt, but just got usage ssh: [switches here] [21:08] Vlet, i'm sure gnome might have helped too [21:08] hello girls and boys ! I'm getting old, what's the *new* way for automaticaly mounting flash drives now HAL and DBUS are ruling everything ? I don't use gnome, and don't have gnome tools for that. We used to rely on ivman but I heard it is deprecated ... in favor of what please ? Thx ! [21:08] tones: it is an eeepc, the space issue is complicated and unresolvable. the problem is i have a broken package i need to remove [21:08] Hello all :) [21:08] kstt: plug in the flash drive [21:08] cptblood: use ssh -X user@host [21:08] erUSUL: and that has something to do with the fact that RAM is _random_ access memory, as a HD is permanent access memory? [21:08] kstt: that old and you know what thx means? wow [21:09] kstt: hmmm no gui [21:09] logikal_: different technologies [21:09] I've trashed my Firefox Browser and now iam searching for a way to reinstall it like it was :) [21:09] ? [21:09] kstt: i'll look into that [21:09] Any idea [21:09] logikal_, hard drives are also random access [21:09] maccam94: then sorry but, im out.. [21:09] erUSUL: Ah, thank you. I appreciate your time. [21:09] i just get to the terminal ? [21:09] logikal_: no problem [21:09] neurobuntu: Really? o_O [21:09] @ hatter243 [21:09] Helpless: How have you trashed it? [21:09] helpless: installing how it was? delete your profile and install all plugin again, then do setup them again. [21:09] logikal_, yes, random access means you can access any location on the disk at any time [21:09] the name of this file i am trying to install is AdobeAIRInstaller.bin (what do i rename it to, to type ./? [21:10] logikal_, compared to older tape drives which have to be access sequentially [21:10] bye [21:10] neurobuntu: but I thought RAM also meant it's temporary memory [21:10] Helpless, just move the .mozilla directory in your home folder to .mozillabackup and restart firefox - good as new :) [21:10] SvB: take of the .bin and make it executable [21:10] if im on hardy and i want to install qt4.5 and all the python-qt4.5 libs how do i do that? [21:10] yigal, click on "answers" button in the top right hand corner to ask the maintainers/devs of the package questions. It's on that bug page that you posted the link for [21:10] logikal_, that is what it means now but Random Access Memory is a type of storage [21:10] yep but the problem is [21:10] cptblood, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205597 [21:10] is it possible to install kde 3.5 in ubuntu 9.4? if so how? [21:10] maccam94: tones: thanks. There must be a supported way to do that, because I'm seeing more and more people using "alternative" WM, with the rise of very good tiling engines [21:10] yigal, that's by far your best bet [21:10] For ubuntu desktop ssh-agent is started by the session manager. What's the best way to get it started when doing an ssh login to an ubuntu server? [21:10] logikal_ you shouldnt save your important data there ;) [21:10] kstt: check out usbmount [21:10] k, thx [21:10] ive deinstalled firefox [21:10] SvB: You most likely want to open a terminal and run it like: ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin [21:10] over the command sudo aptitude remove firefox [21:10] helpless: just reinstall it [21:11] SvB: I mean: sudo ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin [21:11] how [21:11] logikal_, any storage that you can access random locations without incuring accessing costs can be considered random access memory [21:11] helpless: should be still like it was before. if you didnt purge it [21:11] is it possible to install kde 3.5 in ubuntu 9.4? if so how? [21:11] after i deinstalled firefox [21:11] Helpless: you most likely want to remove the directory in your home folder called ".firefox" [21:11] there was suddenly "abrowser" xD [21:11] neurobuntu: Ah, it makes sense now. [21:11] sudo aptitude install firefox [21:11] logikal_, this is sort of why you can use your HDD as viritual memory or virtual RAM although its REALLY slow [21:12] .mozilla [21:12] AnRkey: sounds good, on it [21:12] b0hne why not use apt-get? [21:12] almost the same ;) [21:12] true, but apt-get is more common methinks [21:12] tones: because i like it that way and aptitude has better package dependency solutions [21:12] is it possible to install kde 3.5 in ubuntu 9.4? if so how? [21:13] deany: ahh yeah... /me is only on a server version.. no gui :) [21:13] neurobuntu: Yeah [21:13] b0hne: ok, sorry i asked [21:13] deco: #kubuntu may be more helpfull [21:13] erUSUL, Thanks [21:13] tones: didnt flame you [21:13] neurobuntu: I like your name, by the way. lol the first thing that came to mind when I read it was neurobiology [21:13] k [21:14] logikal_, that isn't a coincidence [21:14] maccam94: http://usbmount.alioth.debian.org/ < unmaintained : is that really the official way ? [21:14] neurobuntu: Why, do you study neurobiology? [21:14] logikal_, yep [21:14] neurobuntu: cool =D [21:15] logikal_, actually a more broad field then just neurobiology, neuroscience [21:15] !ot | logikal_ [21:15] logikal_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [21:15] kstt: it's in the ubuntu repos though [21:15] ok i want to complettly remove firefox & everything related to it [21:16] and afterwards reinstall it like it was before [21:16] how can i do this [21:16] when xubuntu gives a minimum disk space needed for installation, how much free space will that leave? [21:16] helpless: rm -r ~/.mozilla/firefox [21:16] Helpless, sudo apt-get remove --purge firefox* [21:16] ok [21:17] Helpless, "sudo apt-get purge firefox && sudo apt-get install firefox" [21:17] k [21:17] there are fleas in my bed [21:17] oops wrong channel sorry [21:18] btw. i got a back-up of the ".mozilla"-folder [21:18] will i be able to reuse it ? [21:18] when i reinstalled firefox ? [21:18] yes [21:18] have you ever tried Pardus OS? [21:18] token charset [21:18] Helpless, so long as there aren't problem with your Mozilla config - yup. [21:18] please can you help me? every time i want to install something with synaptic i get the error 404 [21:18] what should i do? [21:19] mats_, try a complete mirror [21:19] how do I launch an app from terminal and make the app *stay* instead of closing together with terminal? [21:19] mats_, try switching to a different mirror (System / Admin / Software Sources / Download from: / then "sudo apt-get update" then try running updates again [21:19] * tones is off [21:19] Fzang, use screen [21:19] Fzang, look into screen [21:19] cya [21:19] Fzang, like screen [21:19] kstt: does usbmount work for you? [21:19] token [21:20] thanks, it works [21:20] ZykoticK9 Ravage : i already tried many times "apt-get update" with the same result [21:20] ok i will try it with "sudo apt-get remove --purge firefox" now :) [21:20] ravage : what do you mean? [21:20] mats_, did you switch to a different mirror then run the update? do you have internet working? any other details we should know? [21:20] mats_, do what ZykoticK9 wrote [21:21] mats_, have you added non official repositories. its possible one of them went down [21:21] internet is working [21:21] 404 means internet ok [21:21] token charset [21:21] and connection to server ok [21:21] file is just missing [21:21] after "sudo apt-get remove --purge firefox" [21:21] firefox is still working :S :S [21:21] neurobuntu, yes only the officials [21:22] Hello all, I am trying to figure out problem with mounting ext3 partitions on 9.04... So far best guess to solve this is try to figure out why I dont have /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdb5, etc. only /dev/sdb... Can you tell me where should I look for possible error of missing devices for partitions? [21:22] ravage, so is there any possibility? [21:22] markl_, sdb is the drive, the numbers are paritions [21:22] another question: the network monitor on the panel is completely gone, how do I get it back? seems like I don't even have it [21:22] if I install ubuntu in a VM with a small hard drive, and later increase the size of the hard drive, will it be difficult to get ubuntu to recognize the whole drive? [21:22] o just to wait until the server isn't down anymore [21:22] ? [21:22] mats_, you should show us your /etc/apt/sources.list file [21:22] i.e. to increase the size of the partition [21:22] use nopaste [21:23] Mkop1, it shouldn't just resize the drive with gparted [21:23] neurobuntu: huh? you lost me [21:23] ok wait [21:23] Mkop1, actually ubuntu will probably recognize the complete drive [21:24] i tried to make a usb pen drive bootable [21:24] After "sudo apt-get remove --purge firefox" , Firefox is still listed in the "Internet"-Section and it seems like the command didnt do anything :S :S ? [21:25] token charset [21:25] and ended up messing up the partition somehow [21:25] is there anyway for me to "format" the drive so that it's useable again? [21:25] damagednoob: Yes [21:25] damagednoob, yes use the liveCD and gparted [21:25] Hey guys. Anyone know where i can download an HP MIE image? [21:25] http://kiddshow.com/listenlive.html [21:26] mats_, and there is a #ubuntu-de channel. german might be easier for both of us [21:26] ok wait [21:26] Raex93: Does this have anything to do with Ubuntu Support/Help? [21:26] Raex93: This == Your Question [21:27] It kind of does, seeing as all ubuntu versions i have tried do not work with my HP Mini 1000. And HP MIE is a custom Ubuntu distro. [21:28] Raex93, have you tried the piratebay? [21:28] lol [21:28] hello everybody! [21:28] thanks neurobuntu [21:28] that was a lot easier than i thought it would be :) [21:28] I need a help on setting a route on my network. Could someone help me on this please? [21:30] I try to "sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb5 /media/sdb5", but it fails... I dont have sdb5 on /dev, there is only sdb... yet "fdisk -l" lists /dev/sdb5... I think there is error with creating device files on /dev for some partitions (/dev/sdb5), am I on right track with this idea? [21:30] firmW, what do you need to do [21:30] question: whenever firefox is closed by the shutdown procedure (as opposed to manually), the session is saved and restored automatically the next time it's run. does anybody know how to change that? [21:30] common etiquette is to just ask the question :P === IVBela1 is now known as IVBela [21:31] firmW: I suggest asking in ##networking [21:31] ok, thank you! [21:31] marko__: what fails? what does it say...? [21:32] heh [21:32] I get message "mount: special device /dev/sdb5 does not exist" === Uncle|Sam is now known as uncle|sam [21:33] marko__: does the device show when you just type mount by itself? === histo_ is now known as histo [21:33] Where does firefox save the login-data&cookies ? [21:33] biella [21:33] marko_, did you just create these paritions? have you restarted since creating them? [21:33] i want to get rite of them , but the standard delete private-data doesnt work :S :S [21:34] yes CyberUnix- [21:34] jefinc, no, its not on fstab.. system is installed on sda, but I need to get data from sdb [21:34] lloooo [21:34] Hi all, I'm looking for somone that could help me with my Intel WiFi card, I've tried about anything I could with my basic knowledge of Ubuntu but couldn't solve the problem. [21:34] marko__: does what ZykoticK9 said apply? [21:35] ZykoticK9, no, I have had these partitions for over year, I only repartitioned sda on install [21:35] Hello [21:35] Anybody really familiar with atheros wifi troubleshooting? [21:35] I tried everything I could [21:36] Hello [21:36] now I am stuck [21:36] Is there anyway to check wich libs are instaled, to use with gcc or g++? [21:36] Vlet, u still there? [21:36] should I get xubuntu 9.04 or 8.04? [21:37] Mkop1, 9.04 is smooooooth and sleep but a bit more buggy than 8.04 [21:37] 9.04 is the prettiest though [21:37] Could anyone help me with my Intel Wifi card ? [21:37] s/sleep/sleek/, I assume? [21:37] sleek* [21:37] :P [21:37] Oh crap... kill -9 isn't killing this process. [21:37] Im a bit lost here, cos Im not sure if there should be device files for partitions or not.. i.e. is it ok that there is no /dev/sdb5 at all, should I still be able to mount it? [21:37] a bit baked, soz :P [21:38] And what's more powerful than kill -9! [21:38] magcius, sudo init 6 [21:38] magcius, sudo init 0? [21:38] hatter243, snap! [21:38] hi channel [21:38] marko_, if you don't physically have a /dev/sdb5 then you won't be able to mount it - if you really only have /deb/sdb, it seems you disk has no partitions??? good luck. [21:39] After installing vista I installed the Ubuntu boot disappeared. Ubuntu can not open. Can Help [21:39] insert the cd [21:39] choose rescue [21:39] marko__: you can list partitions with fdisk. sudo fdisk -l [21:39] cybercik, it's easy [21:39] restore bootloader === joshthecoder is now known as joshthecoder_afk [21:39] cybercik, boot off of live cd [21:39] marko__: then make sure the directory exist where you want to mount the partition. [21:39] cybercik, install grub from there [21:39] Hi all, I'm looking for somone that could help me with my Intel WiFi card, I've tried about anything I could with my basic knowledge of Ubuntu but couldn't solve the problem. [21:39] !grub > cybercik [21:39] cybercik, please see my private message [21:40] cybercik, google for grub install live cd ubuntu, sure u'll find 20 million howtos [21:40] !wifi | biest [21:40] I was burning the gparted live ISO and I got an error, here are a copy of the logs... http://ex0dus.pastebin.com/d763de6b8 should I be worried? [21:40] biest: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [21:40] biest, tell us what the problem is any maybe someone can help you. [21:40] biest, what is the issue? [21:40] thank you friends [21:41] cybercik, no probs, hope u get it working nice and shweet [21:41] My laptop doesnt seem to find the WiFi card when I do the ifconig command [21:41] *ifconfig [21:41] iwconfig should be your first step [21:41] biest, ubu 8.04? [21:41] ZykoticK9 and histo, "sudo fdisk -l" lists sdb, sdb1, sdb5, sdb6 and sdb7, so I should have those... also if I boot ubuntu 7.10 live cd, I can mount those drives [21:41] hi friends. does anyone know a way to turn on/off notifications? [21:41] I'm jaunty [21:42] But it didnt work under 8.10 neither [21:42] AnRkey: Thank you ;) I'll try the suggestions [21:42] QUESTION - I'm running Ubuntu 9.04. I noticed with this version of Ubuntu, if my spare hard drive (auto mounts by UUID in /etc/fstab) that I get an error screen saying failed mount point UUID etc etc and also mentions a failed file system check. Its a black screen with white text. It gives me the option to boot if I hit CONTROL-D. Then it boots fine. If I plug the drive back in, I dont get this error. However, in 8.04 and 8.10 this d [21:42] reboot [21:42] idn't happen, I'm positive of it. Does anybody know for a fact if this was intentionally changed in 9.04 or the new Linux kernel? [21:42] sagredo: isn't there an option when you right click there? Or you just stop the notification applet from loading. [21:42] marko__, when you run "ls /dev/sd*" do you see the 5? [21:42] biest, does the System > Administration > Hardware drivers not find anything? [21:42] iwconfig gives me: lo no wireless extensions. [21:42] when i look in /etc/x11/xorg.conf ITS NEARLY empty!?!? [21:42] ZykoticK9, no, I dont [21:42] hey guys, how can i see what daemon is listening on a particular port? [21:43] yaaar, netstat -tulpen [21:43] hi all i'm running 9.04 netbook remix and i my smtp just hangs, no matter what server i use it says (sending message 100% complete) what can i do to debug that? I'm not quite sure what's happening, but the messages definately aren't being sent [21:43] mrbob009: its not used anymore. [21:43] yaaar, man netstat [21:43] thanks Ravage [21:43] russo: check in /var/log [21:43] or that [21:43] marko__, regardless of what fdisk is telling you, if you don't see the device you're NOT going to be able to mount it. Good luck man. [21:43] histo: o lol, where do i put my input device settings now? :) [21:43] TextMate alternative on Ubuntu? [21:43] yaaar, if it's listening on inetd or xinetd, you can check /etc/services [21:43] mrbob009: you can still put them in there. [21:44] ZykoticK9, ok thanks, thats what I thought [21:44] biest, what laptop is it? [21:45] Its a Medion [21:45] the card is Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG === joshthecoder_afk is now known as joshthecoder [21:45] histo: where would evolution write in /var/log? [21:45] biest, do you know what model the intel card is? [21:46] it is Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [21:46] histo: let me see if there's an option [21:46] it is a Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [21:46] I have to wait for someone to come online [21:47] ok, so ive got a bunch of subfolders, and i want to see a list of all files (recursively) that contain the word "Threading"... anyone know how i can do that? [21:47] histo: no right click [21:47] BoomShaka: grep -R "Threading" * [21:48] "ls /dev/sd*" lists only "/dev/sda /dev/sdb", and I cannot see /dev/sdb5 (where is data which I need atm)... Yet I dont have /dev/sda1, /dev/sda5, and my system is currently running on those... can anyone guide me where to start looking for this probelm? what should make /dev/sdb5? where is it failing? [21:48] Pici, awesome. thanks [21:48] PreZ: actually... grep -Rl "Threading" * [21:48] histo: you sure those xorg.conf settings are still used? [21:49] odd, if i mute my volume in ubuntu while a game installer is playing music, my speakers buzz, if i turn it down really low, it doesn't [21:49] not a problem, just a comment [21:49] biest, i had loads of luck snooping around on intel's site. I got most of the network card issues fixed that way. The Intel Gigabit cards and I'm sure others have drivers for linux there...

[23:18] !repeat | booksbuggy [23:18] booksbuggy: 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 [23:18] So it will take much longer. [23:18] Conic what speeds do they usually achieve? [23:19] what does waiting for headers mean, when you are installing something with terminal [23:19] HD 60-90 MiB/s [23:19] I never use disks really except when installing OSs [23:19] Then I tried to install inside windows to a different hd and it wouldn't boot at all [23:19] hmm so i was already logged in back there -.- [23:19] binrapt: laptop drives only do like 40mb/s most of the time [23:19] Ok [23:20] Florimond: is it a laptop? what kind of computer, tell me your hardware config [23:20] now I have a clean install of vista and a second clean partition on the hd [23:20] Even WPA/WPA2 works out of the box on its RTL8187b with Ubuntu, I am quite lucky [23:20] I7 Quad core with 12 gigs of ram [23:20] Not so long ago it didn't [23:21] Florimond: on the clean drive, please remove the partition and leave it unformatted [23:21] I have a few HID devices attached to my computer, how do i check what they've signals they've given? [23:21] hi im using kubuntu 9.04 and firefox, Id like to watch a flash video at this url: http://www.n-tv.de/mediathek/videos/sendungen/buschatn-tv/Stopp-den-Kinderpornos-Mehr-als-Wahlkampf-article295130.html but only a black background appears [23:21] what can I do? [23:21] gumpert345: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:21] darn, what was that command to list all installed packages? [23:22] Florimond: you can do so through disk management in vista, then put ubuntu cd in, and load it on the drive\ [23:22] ok, I dont Boot into ubuntu to load it? [23:23] ok the partition is erased [23:23] Vlet are you still there? === Ursinha is now known as jorjao [23:24] I have inserted the ubuntu cd (sorry I am such a n00b at this) [23:25] does somebody know the wine channel ??? [23:25] irc-channel* [23:25] I'm using jaunty, yet I just did sudo apt-get update and saw some intrepid stuff like intrepid-backports/multiverse and intrepid-backports/main. Is that something that needs to be fixed? [23:25] does ubuntu have a different xorg conf than other distros? [23:25] i looked at ubuntu's and its pretty much empty [23:25] is there a music player for linux that allows you to share libraries to itunes users on your network and to access their shares? [23:26] demo and full installation ? [23:26] :) [23:26] noxtaa: try rhythmbox [23:27] Florimond: please refer by name, otherwise we cant see messages [23:27] Florimond: did you make the space as i asked [23:27] i have a ati radeon 9600 with tv out. i want to upgrade to ubuntu jaunty but unfortunately the 9600 drivers are being discontinued and moved to "legacy" status which mean no more tv out support. can someone recommend a nvidia card with s-video tv out capabilities that will work with jaunty and is not too expensive thanks [23:27] legend2440: AGP or PCIe?

[23:29] legend2440: xe.com [23:29] legend2440, you can ask google that [23:29] 5 wheel barrels full [23:29] Florimond: when it reboots, the partitioner will ask you where to install, be carefull there [23:29] legend2440: Ask http://www.xe.com/ [23:30] legend2440: 120US [23:30] hey guys, how can I create alias for root user?

[23:30] Florimond: be careful when the partitioner asks you to where to install [23:30] staminna, why would you want to do that ? root is root [23:30] staminna, you mean apache? [23:30] harpreet_: US dollar dragged the pound down with it, we're nowhere near double your rate [23:30] is there any way to force scrollbars in dialogs in gtk applications? some apps have fixed dialog heights which exceed my netbook's vertical resolution. is there a setting in gconf or something?

[23:31] I am very fond of this small WLAN icon the default Ubuntu Gnome WM features, you can connect to a network of your choice in a matter of two clicks which is extremely useful to me because I travel through lots of zones every day. However, Gnome is too much for this 1.86 Ghz laptop and I'd rather use Fluxbox or so - will I be able to use that same WLAN listing application there somehow? [23:31] boss_mc: pound will always be up, with somewhat error [23:31] I haven't quite figured out how to get it in the normal network-manager [23:31] I suspect it is part of network-manager-gnome [23:31] deco:maybe if I can add my username to the cvs group and cvs to apache group?

[23:33] harpreet_: I see the free space but it won't let me do anything with it [23:34] Florimond: what it says [23:34] harpreet_, it seems rhythmbox allows me too share my library and access a share if I have an ip and port, but I'd like to be able to browse available shares without needing that info [23:34] harpreet_: we're the second strongest currency on the globe! [23:34] harpreet_: opps moment another screen popped up [23:34] Yes i am typing in chinese ;) [23:34] rashed2020: You could mount a folder with sshfs, and backup to that ... [23:35] !sshfs > rashed2020 [23:35] rashed2020, please see my private message [23:35] harpreet_:do I want it to be a Primary or Logical partition?
