[00:01] the driver is good [00:01] Hi, newbie question here ... I just installed linux on my computer and after a reboot it's saying "Disk boot failure", I tried changing the priority of my HDDs and on 1 of them I got a Grub loading message, followed with error 22 ... can anyone tell me what I did wrong? [00:01] helen, can you be for specific / verbose in explaining your problem? [00:01] If I have two ethernet cards, both on separate internet connections.. do I need to configure ssh to listen on both of them? [00:01] guys, I acidentaly deleted all the conf files on /etc/modprobe.d/, and now my kernel is hanging. Do I have to reinstall the OS to recover the old configuration files ? === mib_yiqys49d is now known as rennat [00:02] has anyone ever used editDNS to set up a web server from home? [00:02] hi dose anyone know if there is a program or clock or something that i can set a time for my computer to automaticly turn off at that time? [00:02] Hey can anyone here help me get my bluetooth headset working in ubuntu 9.04? [00:02] mucho problemos! [00:02] the driver is good the system just isnt seeing correct resolution for the monitor [00:02] can't get it to work! [00:03] elitecoder: you hav two internet connections? I always wondered how one could do that as there is only one default route. [00:03] elitecoder, i'd imagine yes - check /etc/ssh/sshd_config for the "ListenAddress" [00:03] indicator-applet is running but i dont see its icon. how can i see its icon? i want to configure it? [00:03] i think i need to regenerate a fresh xorg and configure the screen in it [00:03] ZykoticK9: It's commented out [00:03] elitecoder: I on the other hand would think the answer is no and ssh listens on all interfaces by default [00:03] Is it possible to Click throughout window? Maybe compiz-plugin or something else? [00:03] anybody? Help with setting up bluetooth headset [00:04] Yeah I thought it did as well. I'm trying to connect on one, the port is forwarded and it's not picking up [00:04] but when I unplug the second line and reboot it. It connects fine [00:04] f'in stupid [00:04] tuxedocurly: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=213731 [00:04] elitecoder: problem with the default route. packet are coming in - but the outgoing packets go via the other internet connection. [00:05] omg [00:05] elitecoder: so the box you are sshing from is getting answers but from the wrong address [00:05] when i put the sudo comand on the terminal, the system tould me that it feils [00:05] elitecoder: my guess [00:05] on the process [00:05] Well I set the default route in eth2 which is the one I'm connecting to [00:05] that's interesting though [00:06] if someone could help me regenerate a fresh xorg and not the preconfigured debian xorg i can get it from there [00:06] hi.. [00:06] i dont have problems with the xorg [00:06] helen: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [00:06] I shout be [00:06] Welshy-Rob: sudo shutdown hh:mm (24 hour format, see 'shutdown --help' [00:07] thanks ActionParsnip [00:07] helen: will give you a failsafe xorg.conf [00:07] elitecoder: well - fire up some tool to analyze the traffic. two internet connections is asking for trouble, i think [00:07] can'T think of a way to handle the routing properly [00:07] Well even helpers (as some of you may have noticed I have helped here quite a bit the last few months) could do with some Ubuntu help sometimes. Ubuntu 8.04 on the other computer was getting to old for my liking, so I upgraded to 8.10, but then lost the ethernet connection :( I have googled and been on forum threads such as this one http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1017057.html ,but I think my two [00:07] kernels are later, and neither would work. I am currently using another computer since didn't want to use XP for net :) I am thinking maybe an offline upgrade to 9.04 would fix the issue. [00:07] quitte: Well, I only want one using the internet [00:07] On my netbook I have my / on the 8GB internal flash, and /home on a 16GB SDHC. I have a home dir on the 8GB internal, but If I boot without the SDHC i get an error and am sent to the recovery console. Is an option i can put in my fstab to stop this behavior? [00:07] I have a bluetooth wacom tablet that stopped working today -- It connects correctly, and lights up when I press the pen to the tablet, but the cursor itself doesn't move. Any suggestions? I'm on 9.04 by the way [00:07] harpreet_: Still here? What do I do now? [00:08] sebsebseb: worth a shot, try aptoncd [00:08] hi all, I can't get audio to work in Firefox [00:08] desktop mp3s work, but no sound plays in browser (ex. Pandora) [00:08] elitecoder: just to be sure I have to ask: you do realize that the internet is a different network than your local network? [00:08] anyone have help for that? [00:08] okay.....newb question guys: How do I look up my netbios name? I can't seem to get nmblookup to work correctly. [00:09] yeah but i'm not sure what you're getting at [00:09] ActionParsnip: yeah and then I might remove fusa, because I have a feeling that the other users would much prefer to still be able to shutdown the computer from the system menu. They really like there fusa it seems, because 8.10 even offered to install the later version, no thanks! I belive what has happended though is that the ethernet config has gone wrong some how. [00:09] elitecoder: you actually have two internet connections? why? how do you want to make use of that? === Jorjao is now known as Ursinha [00:10] sebsebseb: if you use the interfaces file to set a static ip does it work? you will also need to set dns servers in /etc/resolv.conf [00:10] Because this server needs a dedicated internet connection but needs to also connect to the other computers on a separate device / router. [00:10] didnt work [00:10] no audio works in Firefox, all other audio works fine. help? [00:10] It's a voip server, so the computers in the building need to connect directly to avoid extra lag [00:11] ActionParsnip: I am not sure about those. I am also currently on another computer, find out info here, and try stuff when I have info, I am thinking. [00:11] would me killing gdm then doing xorg -configure regenerate one [00:11] elitecoder: so how does it have two internet connections then? the computers in the building are the lan [00:11] How do I look up my netbios name? [00:12] the router they're connected to has net [00:12] sebsebseb: here's mine from my wired file server: http://pastebin.com/f686ddae3 === joshthecoder is now known as joshthecoder_afk [00:13] elitecoder: ok. as long as you set the interface to the lan statically you should not get any trouble then. [00:13] ActionParsnip: that reminds me it woudn't even let me access the routers config page [00:13] brandonban6: cat /etc/hostname [00:13] sebsebseb: thats because your ip address may not be in the routers subnet [00:14] can anyone tell me how to install eclipse documentations? [00:14] ActionParsnip: DHCP does our internal ip addresses [00:14] let me paste my config [00:14] hi , i have a computer that is the server , and i am sharing the internet using an rt2500usb wireless "pen" . In windows i setup the correct IP and i have access to the network and i have internet but in ubuntu i only can find the wireless network but the everytime i log in to that network the net doesnt work. Does any one had this problem? [00:14] guys, I acidentaly deleted all the conf files on /etc/modprobe.d/, and now my kernel is hanging. Do I have to reinstall the OS to recover the old configuration files ? [00:14] sebsebseb: is it succeeding on the system>? [00:14] ActionParsnip, thank you .... I didn't realize it was the same thing as my computer name [00:14] * brandonban6 embarrassed [00:14] ActionParsnip: what do you mean? [00:14] Hey, im still having problems connecting my bluetooth headset [00:14] I followed some links [00:14] but nothing works [00:14] can anyone help please? [00:14] i've built several custom .deb packages and would like to enable authentication for them [00:15] if i use debsig-verify all packages from the standard ubuntu repo fail verification... should i be using something besides debsig-verify or do i need to add the ubuntu keys to debsig [00:15] what method do the ubuntu packages use for verification? [00:15] ActionParsnip: not on it right now, but it was like trying to use auto etho or something, but then on network manager where it says wired connection that's greyed out [00:16] sebsebseb: try a static ip suitable for your network in the interfaces file, if it works you can isolate some issues out [00:16] hello [00:17] wladston, Try reinstalling the linux -headers [00:17] ActionParsnip: so far with hardwired :) I have had no problem at all, and so no experience of editing those files. [00:17] Can anyone help me configure my bluetooth headset in ubuntu 9.04 so I can listen to music with it? [00:17] AlsaPCM: Thanks, will do! :) [00:17] sebsebseb: thats why i gave you mine so you can copy the fields and populate them for your lan [00:18] elitecoder: ok!? [00:18] sorry [00:18] I have to do some shit before I can get the config [00:18] <. ActionParsnip: one forum thread suggested clean installing, well yes that would probably work, but realistically I can't even easilley clean install on the other computer, since some issue with the CD drive. what you mean populate? [00:18] AlsaPCM: errmm .... me can't find how to do it... can you point me the way ? [00:19] wladston, what distro u use ? [00:19] anyone?? [00:19] ActionParsnip: match the details to mine? [00:19] sebsebseb: well your ip addressing may be different to my wired subnet, so you may need to change the addresses in the file but you will use the same starting identifiers in the file [00:19] AlsaPCM: ubuntu x86 9.04, desktop [00:19] wladston, try synaptic [00:19] wladston, and search for the linux-headers [00:20] any hints on playing the dark knight with mplayer? [00:20] ActionParsnip: maybe I should open up the file on this working computer, so I get a feel for it [00:20] Can anyone help me with my bluetooth connection problem? [00:20] Welshy-Rob: sudo shutdown hh:mm <-- not satisfying? [00:20] hey can somebody help me with a quick couple of question that i have [00:20] wladston, linux-headers-lbm-2.6.28-11-generic [00:21] sebsebseb: well if its network connectivity is defined by some network app then it will be empty [00:21] AlsaPCM: got it, dkpg-reconfiguring :) [00:21] wladston, mark for reinstallation, it might solve i dunno, i am noob s well eheh [00:21] how can i completly erase my harddrives from the live CD?? [00:21] sebsebseb: its how lan was defined before fancy apps were brought in [00:21] how do I prepend a nameserver that network manager wont overwrite it? [00:21] sebsebseb: so you can use that file to define the connection and you dont need any stupid apps [00:21] ActionParsnip: the file your talking about? /etc/resolve ??? [00:21] does anyone know of a way to copy the cd/installer to a hdd partition and then boot it? [00:21] I have a bluetooth wacom tablet that stopped working today -- It connects correctly, and lights up when I press the pen to the tablet, but the cursor itself doesn't move. Any suggestions? I'm on 9.04 by the way [00:22] quitte: http://pastebin.com/d3d325db5 [00:22] that's my config [00:22] can anyone tell me how to install eclipse documentations? [00:22] ¿? [00:22] #join #wine-hq [00:22] ActionParsnip: I am not clear about which file I am meant to be editing? and it's some txt file? gksudo gedit /etc/resolve ??? probably not quite [00:22] NeoMatrixJR: go to PM [00:23] Wacoms work in Ubuntu?! dang I might just have to go out and buy one, been putting it off fearing they wouldn't work in linux since my other bluetooth devices don't work [00:23] By the way, how do you get really crisp super small pixel fonts for everything in the out of the box Ubuntu Gnome? [00:23] I really dislike the super large anti aliased fonts [00:23] elitecoder: the eth0 entry will override the eth2 gateway entry by dhcp. also I doubt mixing gateway and dhcp works as expected. [00:23] !fonts | binrapt [00:24] binrapt: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [00:24] quitte: one of my friends said that was fine but yeah still dunno [00:24] weiss jemand wie ich 2 monitore auf ubuntu zum laufen bekomme??? [00:24] quitte: Why will it override it? [00:24] just because it's second? [00:24] Is there a disk defragmenter included with Ubuntu? [00:24] !de | Sonic [00:24] Sonic: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [00:24] danaman5, there's no need for one [00:24] generally speaking [00:24] thx [00:24] really, so ext3 drives never get fragmented? [00:25] !defrag | danaman5 [00:25] danaman5: 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. [00:25] I'm switching a friend from Vista to ubuntu, We've tried out Intrepid but his screen resolution is stuck at 800x600, he has an Acer Aspire 5520, does anyone know if we'll have that problem in Jaunty??? Thanks. [00:25] eseven73: Oh, I ran sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig but I didn't see any such options, it appeared to reload font caches or so [00:25] never is a strong word danaman5, but generally you should be ok [00:25] can anyone tell me how to install eclipse documentations? [00:25] elitecoder: ill have a look at the manpage just to be sure gateway is what i think it is [00:25] ok [00:25] I want the super slim badass crisp pixel monospace stuff heh [00:25] im reading it too [00:25] ok, thanks [00:26] I have 3 hard drives, 1 that was running win7, 1 that was running win sever 2008 and 1 fresh out of box. how can i delete all of the data on the harddives from the live disk. also need to toggle with bootalbe. [00:26] ActionParsnip: [00:10] sebsebseb: if you use the interfaces file to set a static ip does it work? you will also need to set dns servers in /etc/resolv.conf [00:26] "or, at least in Edgy," <- is Edgy the name of an Ubuntu release or so? === ekimmargni is now known as Mike_lifeguard [00:26] elitecoder: pastebin your /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [00:26] binrapt, sudo aptitude install msttcorefonts [00:26] ActionParsnip: ok wehre is the interfaces file located? [00:26] !edgy [00:26] Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) was the fifth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 25th, 2008. See !eol for more details. [00:26] eseven73 ok [00:26] axisys: I never edited it. I'll paste it now if you want. [00:27] hellolinux did you try gparted? [00:27] sebsebseb: gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces [00:27] VCoolio, what is that a program?? [00:27] binrapt, also you can download free fonts from like dafont.com and stick them in /home/binrapt/.fonts (create .fonts directory if it don't exist) [00:27] elitecoder: dhcp takes care of the default gateway, unless explicitly told not to. and id be very surprised if that worked from interfaces. if you can use static configuration only. [00:27] Hah, /home/binrapt [00:27] I'm switching a friend from Vista to ubuntu, We've tried out Intrepid but his screen resolution is stuck at 800x600, he has an Acer Aspire 5520, does anyone know if we'll have that problem in Jaunty??? Thanks. [00:27] ActionParsnip: I think I follow this now, I edit those two files with my details, and hopefully it works :) [00:27] elitecoder: u need to make sure you don't ask for gateway in the dhcpclient conf file [00:27] request for that is [00:28] Tal: was the graphics card driver installed? [00:28] Welshy-Rob: it's a command; normally you use shutdown now to, well, shutdown, but you can use a time as well [00:28] binrapt, well whatever your home is ;P [00:28] There's this amazing small monospace font being used in the Ubuntu "Failsafe Terminal"? [00:28] Tal: it will be the same in jaunty until you configure the video drivers [00:28] axisys: here it is [00:28] http://pastebin.com/d1829fbb6 [00:28] eseven73: Don't have one yet :P [00:28] quitte: Ok [00:28] sebsebseb::: Wouldn't locate it in Hardware Drivers [00:28] sebsebseb::: I don't know any other way of installing it [00:28] Tal: what video card does s/he have [00:28] Welshy-Rob: if you need it many times and same time always to shutdown make a little script and add that to startup applications [00:29] elitecoder: remove the router [00:29] ActionParsnip::: nVidia GeForce 700m [00:29] binrapt, oooh, hmmm im not sure those fonts would work for terminals,,,i was assuming you were already in Gnome desktop or whatnot [00:29] danielrmt: Ah thanks [00:29] ActionParsnip::: ****nVidia GeForce 7000m [00:29] Tal: then thats easy. sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 [00:29] eseven73: I want all fonts to be super small brutal pixel monospace stuff like that heh [00:29] axisys: you mean "routers" from the request line? [00:29] ActionParsnip::: Really? [00:29] binrapt: ok [00:29] it [00:29] Preferrably the one I saw, not Microsoft stuff [00:29] elitecoder: then for one of the interface you add the default gw .. [00:29] elitecoder: yes [00:30] loran - yes, the hdd that had win7 had a bootloader on it for some reason and still boots to it. i guess i need to know how to get the bootloader off and how to toggle primary or whatever. the hdd with the bootloader from win7 is not the hhd that i installed ubuntu on. [00:30] hi [00:30] hi guys, I need headers for 2.6.27-11 for vmware player - can't apt-get'em ("no installation candidate") [00:30] Bitmap fonts [00:30] Tal: even easier is: kdesudo jockey-kde [00:30] binrapt, one sec [00:30] ActionParsnip: thanks by the way [00:30] tal: oops [00:30] axisys: And I add that in the interfaces file?

[00:34] #crunchbang I think [00:34] Florimond: sudo apt-get install jockey-gtk [00:34] Oh. Well, there you go. [00:34] sebsebseb::: I know, it was a continuation from a conversation - scroll up... [00:34] axisys: So on the secondary interface I add the default gw?

[00:35] Welshy-Rob: your the one doin the maintainance [00:35] binrapt, hmmm Im out of ideas then, good luck :) [00:35] Florimond::: Sorry, press alt F2 then paste it in =) I'm not such a nonnoob myself, just copied and pasted ;) [00:36] elitecoder: u can have as many gw's as you like .. just append them to the right interface.. but only one will be default [00:36] Welshy-Rob: that's probably the default message; it will shut down at that time, meaning in 271 minutes from now. Script not necessary, just add new item in startup applications and use your command [00:36] ok to the right interface. so it matters. got it.

[00:47] Ok fair enough, because I just tried it without using /home and I'm getting an Error 22 when booting a fresh install (partition isn't there), what can be the cause of it?

[00:47] Welshy-Rob: just thought, you may need "shutdown -hP" to not only shut down but also power off your pc. Again: use --help to see the options.

[00:48] Well I have a xeon server, and I wanted to install server 9.04 on that and then have a few old computers hook up to that and be able to login across them. [00:48] heidi, How did you install the plugin? [00:49] jackiv: install openssh-server [00:49] jackiv: you can then ssh to it [00:49] that doesn't come with 9.04? [00:49] iam having problems with the wirelesss :D [00:49] or is it in the repository? [00:49] jackiv: i dont think by default, its simple to install if its not [00:49] alright, thank you very much!

[01:29] tonsofpcs: There are only few port open, I chose 445 [01:29] if you have administrator access to the windows machine, install an sshd on it and ssh to it [01:29] s/port/ports [01:29] telnet is extremely unsecure. [01:29] Is there a good calendar app I could use in ubuntu? [01:29] hax0r1337: what do you mean?

I am enjoying th OS but can only stop using Vista once I have a TVersity like media server that can serve my files to my Play Station 3. I have been through forum after forum. I have tried TVersity through wine, fuppes, XBMC, Gnome Mplayer, Media Tomb, VLC and probably a few o [01:30] thers. With everything I have tried there is always either some code that doesn't work or configuration that I can't seem to find or some other Linux related knowledge that I don't understand. Is anyone hear streaming from Ubuntu Jaunty? And if so would they be willing to take the time to help me get it working? I would very much appriciate it. === lenswipe is now known as Huber_cumberdale === Huber_cumberdale is now known as Hubert_cumberdal [01:31] danielrmt, eseven73: Yes, thats what I was thinking about but it's for my girfriend and she doesnt need any e-mail solution, simply a calendar to take notes of appointments and such things [01:31] devel0, well it's what Ubuntu chose as it's default email client if im not mistaking :P [01:31] jadetiger: yea, vlc works just fine... [01:31] eseven73, that doesnt make it right at all [01:31] jadetiger: mind you, you need to set the exact stream settings that you want but the requirements for the ps3 should be easy to find [01:31] hax0r: port 445 is open because of SMB you need to pick a port that isnt used [01:31] google calendar is the best actually [01:31] iamtechno: ummm, so i rebooted my comp and firefox works fine now. that was kinda wierd [01:31] joker_, like danielrmt said there's other choices besides Evolution [01:32] thanks for the help everyone [01:32] f09wlkf: Sounds interesting, let me try :) [01:32] joker_: so, try sunbird. [01:32] hax0r1337: you need to run your telnet server on a port that isn't open yet, it will open that port [01:32] eseven73 danielrmt: allright, checking sunbird... I tought it was an outlook-like app. [01:32] devel0, well you don't have to use it, that's the beauty of Linux :D [01:32] !ssd [01:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about ssd [01:32] !SSD [01:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about SSD [01:32] !msg the bot [01:32] Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots.

[01:33] hax0r1337: is the telnet server running? [01:33] is the windows firewall blocking traffic on that port? [01:34] devel0: Name an OS that is? [01:34] tonsofpcs: I think telnet server is not running, it's stock win xp [01:34] devel0, it was made by man, so of course not :D but now we're offtopic :P [01:34] Joker_ i would suggest KOrganizer [01:34] V0iD_, Amiga [01:34] hey how do I get my new drives partitions to appear as drives in my places menu? [01:34] hax0r: lol you have to install a telnet server first [01:34] Welshy-Rob: allright, tryuing sunbird and I'llt ake note of KOrganiser aswell. thanks [01:35] devel0: The strongest armour is only as strong as its weakest link! [01:35] V0iD_, As far as applications developed by Google , a competiting app has no place in ubuntu , since when will evolution ever be half as good as Google Calendar? [01:36] hey how do I get my new drives partitions to appear as drives in my places menu? [01:36] infact , when google calendar was launched , everything else should have simply went into idle dev mode [01:36] Is mindscript in the repos? [01:36] tonsofpcs: Ok cool, enabling telnet server on xp allows to log me in :), what if I don't have to physical access to that pc and can't enable telnet server by hand? [01:36] does anyone has the new version of ubuntu running already does the videos work??? [01:36] joker_, its very effective because im in my study leave for gcse's and its good because i can set alarms n stuff for different subjects lol :P but no its very good for other things as well = ] [01:37] hax0r once u enable it it's on you dont have to keep enabling it [01:37] Okay, I think I'm mistaken but I'm going to ask one more time, is there such a thing as a "Big Iso" for ubuntu, very large with lots of apps? [01:37] hax0r try rebooting and test it === f09wlkf is now known as trued0x [01:38] Anyone know anything about mindscript support for ubuntu?

[01:38] I could swear that there is a big iso, but it seems like no one has any idea what I am talking about [01:38] f09wlkf: thanks [01:38] I kind of feel like I'm losing my mind [01:38] nigtv: there's dvd, but the only thing it offers are language packs [01:38] nigtv: a DVD ISO no [01:39] Sonnentae: they should appear anyways, as "(size of drive) media" [01:39] nigtv: the DVD image [01:39] nigtv: see http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#dvd [01:39] Hi everyone. Wow plenty of people here, that's great! I have a tricky file permission issue and I hope someone here will be able to help. [01:39] it's good to know that I'm not losing my mind [01:39] nigtv: no one said that [01:39] mneptok: I know, I felt as if I were [01:40] nigtv, must be the voices in your head === suinestudio is now known as dtcrshr [01:40] :P [01:40] yea usser the same ones that make me have dreams where I'm booting osx vista xp and ubuntu all at once and they are all integrated into eachother [01:40] hehe [01:40] sebsebseb: "a DVD ISO no" uhhh ... wha'? [01:40] that's called a nightmare [01:41] I have a machine with two hard drives. Number 1 has the system and home dirs, number 2 has data files that I want every user to be able to access. all users are in the same users group so basically I want every file written on 2 to be rw-rw-r-- (but the files on 1 to keep the current umask => rw-r--r--). [01:41] ha, not the way it happens to me, when it happens to me I feel as if I know everything about computers there is to know in the entire world, but we may be getting just a tad off topic ;) [01:41] hi [01:42] jiho: pastebin the outpur of "df -h" and "cat /etc/group" [01:42] jiho: I had problems like that, but it was a while ago, when I was on 7.10, do you need multiple users? [01:42] oh and I should mention that the two drives are ext3 formatted (so umask in fstab is not a solution) [01:42] *output [01:42] jiho, just set gid on the second drive and set umask to 002 [01:43] Ubuntu 9.04 NetBook Remix, NOTHING has changed, aside from my iPod is plugged in and ONLY charging. and my loads went from .43ish to high 7s. There SEEM to be no resourse hogs. [01:43] nigtv is it maybe because they are mounted in /mnt and not /media/ ?? [01:43] jiho, ie sudo chown youruser:users -R /mountpoint/seconddrive [01:43] usser: you know fo *absolutely sure* what group has GID 002? [01:43] *for [01:43] Sonnentae: well when you double click on them, it should come up with a prompt to mount [01:43] wow [01:43] mneptok, err my bad [01:43] You can also mount them in the terminal, but youll need to know some more information [01:43] mneptok, set sticky bit [01:43] I only have access to their mount folder. They do not show up as drive icons anywhere === logikal|afk is now known as logikal [01:44] usser: that's why i asked for the output of /etc/group ;) [01:44] jiho, err set sticky bit not gid [01:44] Sonnentae: are you using the default file browser? [01:44] usser: yeah that would work for a one time change, but any new files a user creats is rw-r--r-- again [01:44] aha [01:44] vagina [01:44] nigtv: yeah I need multiple users. this is a server we all work on [01:44] jiho, not if you change umask to 002 [01:44] Uhm, do you have the side bar enabled? [01:44] how do i completely remove kde4 from my ubuntu system? [01:44] mneptok, wait what, i never suggest anything related to GID 002 [01:44] Hello? [01:45] mneptok, i told him to change umask to 002 [01:45] deco: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [01:45] usser: but then 002 wil also be applicable on the user dirs, which I don't want [01:45] is there a way to set a window's opacity with compiz?

[01:45] how can i make encrypted partitions [01:45] If you have XP installed on a RAID1 (mirrored) drive, how would you go about converting to dual boot? [01:45] jiho, each user should have as its primary group his username, not their common 'users' group [01:45] Thanks. [01:46] Can somebody please tell me how to edit my fstab correctly [01:46] mneptok: http://pastebin.com/m18ca2200 [01:46] I can unmount the HD via GUI [01:46] Sonnentae: I really wish I could help you a lot more than I feel im able to, I know that when I mount a drive, I use the terminal, and all I need to know is its name in /dev and the file type [01:46] I always get "You are not privileged to unmount the volume" [01:46] !info truecrypt | Dillizar [01:46] Dillizar: Package truecrypt does not exist in jaunty [01:46] jiho, ie my username is dcherniv my primary group is dcherniv, im also a member of MediaUsers [01:46] But I can unmount it via the command line [01:46] I'ma big Ubuntu fan i'm usin 9.04 at the moment. [01:46] jiho, so each file i create is by default owned by dcherniv:dcherniv not dcherniv:MediaUsers [01:46] usser: ok [01:46] I see [01:46] jiho, if chown the directory to MediaUsers [01:47] jiho, chown -R dcherniv:MediaUsers /directory [01:47] eseven73, are you sure about the name of the program [01:47] jiho, and set g+s bit on it like so chmod g+s -R /directory [01:47] will someone please read my question? [01:47] Dillizar, http://www.truecrypt.org/downloads there's even a .deb for Ubuntu [01:47] Ubuntu 9.04 NetBook Remix, NOTHING has changed, aside from my iPod is plugged in and ONLY charging. and my loads went from .43ish to high 7s. There SEEM to be no resourse hogs. [01:48] jiho, all newly created files will be owned by dcherniv:MediaUsers, sticky bit on gid essentiall overrides your primary group to whatever group owns the directory [01:48] hi [01:48] jiho, try it [01:49] usser: great, I read about the sticky bit but could not figure how to use it [01:49] does anyone know if I can safely upgrade a dell mini to 9.04 with apt-get upgrade -d? [01:49] hax0r1337: have someone else do it... not really another way [01:49] Hi there [01:49] usser: OK, I'll try all that. I'll let you know the result in a few minutes [01:49] thanks eseven73 [01:49] np [01:49] :* [01:49] lol [01:50] I have a friend who aborted the Jaunty upgrade in the middle and now has no keyboard or mouse functionality in X. He can CTRL-ALT-F2 to get to a terminal. ifconfig shows no network adapters, just the loopback. I have googled and found others in the same boat, but no solutions short of completely reinstalling. I'd like to offer him some easier way, especially since he has many photos on his hard drive and no easy way to back [01:50] them up. Advice? [01:50] jiho, theres also default umask which in ubuntu is 022 which corresponds to permissions 755 ie all new files will get permissions 755, all for owner, read only for group, read only for others [01:51] jiho, theres a way to force a umask on a directory, but i forgot how to do that. google for it [01:51] I've installed ubuntu server 9.04 and have configured dhcpd3.. according to the man pages the leases should be in /var/lib/dhcpd3/dhcpd.leases.. however.. the file is empty.. and there are 2 leases.. where can I found the registration of these leases? :) [01:51] yessssss It played [01:51] TwoToneSpirit, from the terminal, mount a drive to back up.

How can I delete them from the list as well? [02:01] Surely it cannot be that nobody here knows where to find the assigned dhcpd leases if not in /var/lib/dhcp3/dhcpd.leases ? [02:02] jdu: where to add eth0? /etc/network/interfaces has two lines: "auto lo" and "iface lo inet loopback" [02:02] TwoToneSpirit, man interfaces === edson is now known as epcanto [02:02] join #ubuntu-ru [02:02] jdu: man interfaces? [02:02] magcius: there [02:02] Nevak, where? Huh? === epcanto is now known as edson [02:02] jdu: I looked at my own file, and it's the same as his, but of course my network driver is working fine. [02:02] hi, i'm having a problem logging in. I bot up, and at the enter my credentials at the login screen. I hit enter at the end of my password, and the field goes gray...i wait, nothing happens. i can still move my cursor and select the shutdown/etc. menu, but it won't log in. [02:02] TwoToneSpirit, the manual page [02:03] samd_: what was the point of posting iPod, does it raise the loads? [02:03] magcius: the pastebin [02:03] magcius, I think I did it right.... [02:03] Nevak, you didn't paste the link [02:03] esde: what u mean [02:03] TwoToneSpirit, yes, the file is generally only used for lo, NetworkManager handles the rest. However, the system isn't working; you can add other lines and bring up those interfaces. [02:03] Ubuntu 9.04 NetBook Remix, NOTHING has changed, aside from my iPod is plugged in and ONLY charging. and my loads went from .43ish to high 7s. There SEEM to be no resourse hogs. [02:03] magcius: http://paste.ubuntu.com/182455/ [02:03] magcius: lol sorry, I'm a noob [02:04] homik, try Ctrl+Alt+F1 and logging in there. USE Ctrl+Alt+F7 to switch back! [02:04] i did [02:04] TwoToneSpirit, the interfaces(5) manual page has some info as well various websites. [02:04] magcius: did I even paste the right thing? [02:04] !rockbox [02:04] i tried xstart and got some weird errors [02:04] rockbox is an open source firmware replacement for audio players from Archos, iRiver, Apple (iPod), and iAudio. See http://www.rockbox.org/ to get started! [02:05] TwoToneSpirit, so: auto eth0 next line: iface eth0 inet dhcp would be a simple setup. [02:05] Nevak, you have no sound drivers installed. You need to figure out what the sound card is. [02:05] hello, I've got a machine installing ubuntu 8.10 right now and it seems to be hung on the last page of the install questions (7 of 7) I have allready clicked the install button but it's just sitting there (for about 20 min. now) Any ideas? [02:05] magcius: ahh.... know anyway to figure out what soundcard it is? [02:06] !repeat | esde [02:06] esde: 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 [02:06] wstraus, any output on virtual terminals? ctrl+alt+f1 etc. [02:06] Nevak, no, I don't. [02:06] jdu: I just figured that out. Thanks for validating my thoughts. :-) [02:06] 0.0 magcius [02:06] magcius: hmm, I'll probably figure it out [02:07] I wonder if I give it a ctrl + alt + F1 if I'll be able to get back to the install screen. [02:07] magcius, i get this error: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=342441 (i didn't start this thread but ti has the error i get) [02:07] TwoToneSpirit, its been a while since I've messed with that. You'll need to use ifup to bring the interface up.

[02:09] OK simpler question, i have one "zombie" process, how do i find it and kill it? [02:09] on F1 it just says "Loading, please wait." [02:10] lol jdu [02:10] esde: you have to shoot the zombie process in the head, it's the only way [02:10] where is mkinitrd in ubuntu?

For the PS3 firmware v 2.70 onwards you'll need:" [02:21] just uninstalling ubuntu-desktop should make my system leaner? [02:21] esde, you've got 74% idle! Is interactive performance bad? [02:21] greencookie, ubuntu-desktop is a meta package; it depends on everything for the desktop part of ubuntu. [02:21] no i dont notice a difference other then in the load numbers. [02:21] greencookie, ubuntu-desktop is the package to install gnome, is dangerous to remove it unless you have installed KDE, XFCE or LXDE. [02:22] faryshta_: unless he is going server or headless [02:22] faryshta_: i want to live in the tty for a bit :) so im ready for the challange [02:22] SegFaultAX: is it called going headless? lol :D without a gui. [02:22] greencookie: then remove the gdm starter [02:23] Can anyone explain what in need to do at this point on the the following link. Now edit the cfg as you need.

[02:23] greencookie: no, headless means a box with no peripherals or monitor (or, accessed with a kvm) [02:23] anyone in here use ubuntu to wardrive? im having troubles figuring out how to get it to work [02:23] greencookie, dpkg -s ubuntu-desktop will list everything it depends on. [02:23] SegFaultAX: jdu tyvm! [02:23] greencookie, well if you want to use command line without gdm don't need to remove ubuntu-desktop. [02:24] Just when boot choose the second option and will give you a command line. [02:24] greencookie: why dont you just open a tty (ctrl alt f1) and type /etc/init.d/gdm stop and see how long you last [02:24] faryshta_: ok :) thanks a lot :D [02:24] SegFaultAX: ive been a cli hermit for a bit in the past.

[02:27] mneptok: here is what I already wrote above: thanks for the pointers. I am almost there. so I got to the point where: every user has his primary group set to his private group and is a member of "users"; /media/disk2 is owned by me:users and has permissions rwxrwsr-x; so the sticky bit is set for the group all all members can write in it (that works all files created there have group="users"). [02:27] i had an X language, than i installed english [02:27] is it possible to remove it? [02:28] esde, have you read the output of dmesg? [02:28] why my ubuntu crushing ??? [02:28] command please? [02:28] ANYONE ? [02:28] Gourlis [02:28] gimme siome more info [02:28] on whats happening [02:28] Gourlis, to get an answer to "why does it crash" we need more detail. [02:28] Is there any way I can safely stop this install. (There is a working Windows system on this machine I really don't want to lose) [02:29] esde, dmesg is the command. [02:29] Is it possible that someone is sending odd DCC messages to people in here that is borking people from being able to connect to this channel? [02:29] stevero, it is the 2nd time my pc crushes. It doesn't go anywhere, but I CANNOT click anywhere, like all LOCKED. [02:29] It may print *lots* of output, so dmesg | less may be appropriate [02:29] !dcc | Pizzed [02:29] Pizzed: There are people around who think it is funny to abuse a bug in certain routers by sending invalid DCC commands.

[02:31] mobi-sheep: Just happens that the person affected mentioned their issue to me, that they got the message and cannot connect. If they hadn't mentioned it and I hadn't come here they wouldn't know ;o) Might be good to rig a bot to send that URL in query when they are removed.

[02:32] noone have this issues yet. [02:32] Okie then mobi-sheep ;o) [02:32] I have been a proxy it seems ;o) [02:32] Pizzed: In fact, I think when you connect, #ubuntu will redirect you to a certain channel where you're to change port and test it again before you can connect to #ubuntu [02:32] Gourlis, I was just trying to track down an issue like that. Try a test for me: [02:33] I need help editing my FSTAB [02:33] Open firefox, and disable images, then go back to the page you were loading, and see if it still crashes.

[02:41] Anyone running 8.04 and have Tux paint can you try to go to hulu.com [02:41] TwoToneSpirit: A TTY is usually allocated for interactive SSH sessions (as opposed to, say, SCP) [02:41] btw, geirha , why did you ask me if it is sun's java... what other kind of java is there? [02:42] no mahton it is now removed, and was when the most recent paste was posted [02:42] esde, can you post the output of lsusb? [02:42] this is why i like sidux [02:42] TwoToneSpirit: Ssh into their machine. Run 'screen' command and tell your buddy to run 'screen -x' --> That should bring you guys together on a terminal.

You have to reboot to upgrade kernels, not rebooting for months on end only means you have bugs and security vulnerabilities in your kernel [03:01] but...theres no simple command? [03:01] coz_, the more "INSTALL" or "README" part [03:01] booksbuggy, which part did you get stuck on? [03:01] esde, take a look at the output of lsmod, and pick modules you suspect are problematic. [03:01] coz_, it is capitalized [03:01] esde, what's simple about trying to restart a running kernel without rebooting?

All users have their private groups as primary group and are members of the group users. so everybody can happily read and write in the directory. creating new files and copying them from other places sets the group to "users" no matter what (as expected). However *moving* files from a user dir [03:04] is that a known behaviourof the sticky bit [03:04] Mac586: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre, you have to type it in terminal, you got it? [03:04] Does anyone know how to check to see if your machine has the ICU library (International Components for Unicode) installed? [03:04] Kingsy101, what files are in there? [03:04] is there something I can do to avoid that? [03:04] well i don't know i downloaded it today because the old eclipse went haywire today [03:05] helloo, i have been trying to install Ubuntu 9.04 for a while, it stops at BUSYBOX, is there any solution [03:05] its ok I just did it manually...# [03:05] AlternativeNick: you know your config, please tell [03:05] brb restart [03:05] joeb3_installing....moment [03:05] http://paste.ubuntu.com/182479/ <--- mahton [03:05] oh nm === Cueball is now known as Cueball|2 [03:06] harpreet_, source /etc/environment for what purpose?

However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL.

[03:09] harpreet_: so installing it with synaptic is not a good idea then? [03:09] !RPM | Kruger [03:09] Kruger: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM.

[03:12] how do i find the size of all files under '.' my current directory?

You might try googling your particular hardware and seeing if there is a particular distro that's known to run well on it, then go with that...

[03:17] AlternativeNick: sometimes iso does not get burned and it has bugs..so you can try this or check whether your pointing device has irq conflict with usb, try some other usb point. [03:17] 12 of these laptops happily gave me the # prompt without any issue. One of them, though, requested root's password to enter maintenance mode. What causes that? [03:17] okey [03:17] hmmm computer lagging :CP [03:17] ok, thankx will try [03:17] exit [03:17] ive installed a program in wine....how do i make it start straight away when ubuntu loads?

Why not just keep it on or off without sleep/hibernation? [03:18] booksbuggy, go here http://svgicons.o7a.net/eclipse.php [03:19] just so I'm sure, the version I picked was mySQL non-RPM for Linux x86 sound right? [03:19] zenxr: i open dozens of windows on 8 virtual desktops.... its annoying to do the same everytime [03:19] TheNovice: Make them start on boot :p? [03:19] coz_, hmmm maybe i shouldn't have tried to open eclipse right now -.- [03:19] zenxr: thats kinda lame.... === media_ is now known as media` [03:20] TheNovice: indeed. [03:20] booksbuggy, oh while you are downloading? probably not but get the icon from that other link http://svgicons.o7a.net/eclipse.php [03:20] harpeet_: ok i did what ya said still no dice... i keep getting mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed [03:20] okey [03:21] i have an sd card plugged in and my lspci detects the reader and everything but how can i figure out wht the /dev/ location is so i can mount it? [03:21] coz_, hmmm maybe i should end process eclipse -.- === joshthecoder_afk is now known as joshthecoder [03:21] booksbuggy, it should have opened by now [03:21] this new ubuntu is an absolute failure right now :( [03:21] booksbuggy, killall eclipse [03:22] cozing a 256 ram computer ;CP [03:22] Anyone have issues with the -12 kernel version? [03:22] booksbuggy, then open a terminal cd eclipse then ./eclipse see if any errors pop up [03:22] is there a website with an easy to understand step-by-step users guide to 9.04? Like an ubuntu for dummies? I am seriously lost [03:22] mrec_: im happy with it, EXCEPT , hibernation DOESNT work... properly, and when shutdown VIDEO CARD HANGS [03:22] What would cause one 9.04 machine to require the root password to drop to root in the recovery menu, but an identical machine, also running 9.04, not to? [03:22] Mac586: are you serious? ubuntu is for dummies already [03:22] Ubuntu 9.04 NetBook Remix, NOTHING has changed, aside from my iPod is plugged in and ONLY charging. and my loads went from .43ish to high 7s. There SEEM to be no resourse hogs. [03:22] TheNovice: my ATI graphiccard does not work in dualhead, chroots don't work due libc change, that opensource flash plugin is a joke.. [03:22] Mac586, ubuntuguide.com [03:23] darthanubis: Thanks [03:23] there are dlopen issues now when I use chroot (it does enter a guest but fails at certain tasks) [03:23] mmc0: new SD card at address b368 [03:23] mmcblk0: mmc0:b368 LEXAR 952 MiB [03:23] mmcblk0: p1 [03:23] heya is this the irc where i can get an advice about ubuntu problems ? [03:23] thts the output of dmesg [03:23] SuspectZero: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:23] the ATI graphiccard issue is the most evil thing... I end up putting in an nvidia card which worked within 5 minutes [03:23] mrec_: ATI sucks for linux anyways, get nvidia. CHroot? use something serious like Debian, Flash?? use adobe's [03:23] testosteron, yes [03:24] !ask [03:24] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:24] how does ubuntu measure uptime? [03:24] TheNovice: I think linux sucks because the ATI driver worked with the older ubuntu version [03:24] People this is final DON'T run eclipse with 256 ram computer while you have other applications running :CP [03:24] I wonder why those kernel guys broke the driver [03:24] Mac586, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/ is pretty nice too [03:24] esde, same as any other linux system [03:24] SuspectZero: still trying to get that netbook going? [03:24] mrec_: which video card? [03:24] mrec_: try OSX i heard is for people like yoiu [03:25] im gracious, very new to irc and linux, took e ages to figure how to do this. ok i just shoot ahead what my eee pc is doing [03:25] !sucks [03:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about sucks [03:25] no im being serious, im trying to get my computer working without losing my uptime darthanubis [03:25] !coc > TheNovice [03:25] ATI Radeon 2400 [03:25] TheNovice, please see my private message [03:25] mrec_ ATI is responsible for breaking their cards in the new Ubuntu. It has nothing to do with the kernel [03:25] got it [03:25] The problem occured after I installed the new Ubuntu (9.04 i think ?) through the update manager of the up-to-date easypeasy version some days ago. Which worked fine until this morning when - I'm pretty sure the laptop tried to hibernate - and now when I boot up i can see two lines [03:25] thanks [03:25] saying [03:25] [4.716097] usb 3-1: device not accepting adress 2 error-71 [03:25] [4.772146] hub 3-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1 [03:25] and it's stuck there [03:25] testosteron: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:25] esde, your not making any sense to me [03:25] booksbuggy, get it? [03:25] only doesn't work in dualhead mode (just fully locks up), otherwise it works [03:25] I managed to switch to another window pressing Alt+Fx [03:25] mrec_: no no, lspci | grep -i VGA [03:25] what's it report? [03:25] mrec_ They moved certain cards to legacy mode and thus, devs can't get into the code [03:25] coz_ wait [03:26] ok [03:26] tzanger: ATI Radeon 2400 [03:26] its hard to explain, i want to "reboot" without "rebooting" [03:26] testosteron: unplug all usb devices and reboot [03:26] tzanger: I put in an nvidia card now [03:26] i tried that [03:26] esde, no such thing, and uptime is irrelevant [03:26] coz_ how do you make these icons anyways me curious :CP [03:26] esde: why do you need to pseudo-reboot [03:26] -.- [03:26] mrec_: lspci | grep -i VGA won't say radeon 2400 [03:26] i tried disabling usb, updated bios [03:26] 22:26:38 up 15 days, 5:40, 4 users, load average: 9.26, 9.32, 9.24 [03:26] booksbuggy, svg icons are made with Inkscape [03:26] it'll give me an RS### that I'm looking for [03:26] my uptimes are through the roof [03:26] 15 days bug deal [03:26] coz_ oh [03:26] I am doing work with ATI right now I know a little bit about this [03:26] i mean loads [03:26] Ubuntu 9.04 and the ATI Catalyst driver [03:27] esde, that's a heck of a load average [03:27] i know thats why im here! [03:27] coz_ hmmm me got to learn how to use that :CP [03:27] i want to fix it without losing my uptime. [03:27] booksbuggy, sorry wrong button [03:27] dft, i was trying to get a netbook going? [03:27] esde, what does your load avg. hav eto do with your uptime? [03:27] lmao i dont even remember [03:27] booksbuggy, inkscape is a vector graphics application and one of the best [03:27] coz_ got the icond saved [03:27] testosteron, isnt there a safe-mode to boot in from Grub (just after the bios screen grub comes)? [03:27] SuspectZero: wasn't that you asking about netbook remix? [03:28] darthanubis: i want to fix my loads, without losing my uptime. [03:28] tzanger: I'm not sure what rv it is but it's a radeon 2400 [03:28] darthanubis, I think heh doesn't want to ruin his uptime [03:28] dft, nope. [03:28] he* [03:28] booksbuggy, cool now again open /system/preferences/main menu [03:28] is it in the repositories? [03:28] mrec_: the reason I'm asking is that catalyst 9.5 drivers work fine with 9.04 [03:28] How do I unbind keys in the terminal? I can't seem to mark something as "Undefined" [03:28] rv610 probably [03:28] boodyone, inkscape? yes [03:28] have not tried 9.04 [03:28] er sorry have not tried 9.4 [03:28] booksbuggy, inkscape ? Yes [03:28] SuspectZero: forgive me I'm split between irc and watching a classic SDF episode [03:28] that's what im thinkning to but how can i convince the ubuntu to not trying to boot into the faile hibernation and start norally without a console [03:28] tzanger: in dualhead mode? .. not here [03:28] coz_ way ahead you you :CP [03:28] booksbuggy, sudo apt-get install inkscape [03:28] eseven73, I think he needs to ask a specific question in regards to a specific problem. [03:28] lmao no worries at all [03:28] have a good one :) === eus is now known as eusu_kefuin [03:28] 9.3 works fine with 8.04/8.10 but *after* 9.3 they removed support for RS680 and older chips [03:29] I tried drivers from ATI and the older version and it did not work with dualhead [03:29] that's why I'm asking for the exact RSxxx number [03:29] SuspectZero: see you in remote-ex later [03:29] More than likely it is just a loose service running that neesd to be killed [03:29] use top [03:29] yep bai :) [03:29] ah ok [03:29] testosteron, ? [03:29] 9.3 and older don't know about Ubuntu 9.04, and 9.4 and higher do but don't run older cards :-/ [03:29] coz_ me have always wondered how to make them icons :CP [03:29] ja, did you see my reply cowgarden ? [03:29] I think it's completely assinine to disable support for cards just over a year old, but that ws their policy [03:29] tzanger: hmm still I tried the older drivers too it worked but not with xinerama [03:30] how do i restart "X" [03:30] I just installed the package: libxml-rss-perl When I try to the module, it complains "DateTime::Locale version 0.4 required--this is only version 0.35" As far as I can tell, I have the latest version installed based on the dependancies in dselect... What might be the best place to start? [03:30] it might even be an issue with xorg [03:30] I had opengl support too [03:30] booksbuggy, it takes a bit of work to get used to inkscapes interface and the many many options avaiable [03:30] norg, please type my name in the message. (coug[tab] might autocomplete my name) [03:30] coz_ okay click on that default icon image and browse for the icon saved [03:30] but xinerama dualhead locked up [03:30] coug will definitely not autocomplete cowgarden :-) [03:30] booksbuggy, right [03:30] cowgarden: did you see my reply ? [03:30] mrec_: gotcha. sucks. :-/ [03:30] Anyone here familiar with using partimage on SystemRescueCD? [03:31] I think I will have to revert the system to 8.10 [03:31] tzanger, oh sry :) sometimes I'm named cougarten [03:31] how much space does GIMP take up? [03:31] What would cause one 9.04 machine to require the root password to drop to root in the recovery menu, but an identical machine, also running 9.04, not to? [03:31] cowgarden: how can i convince the linux to scrap attempting to boot into hibernation and just start norally without a console ? [03:31] I feel 9.04 was rushed out the door [03:31] how do i restart "X" [03:31] outright *broken* intel video driver, radeon issues (from what I hear from others, not personally)... bleh. [03:32] !x [03:32] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [03:32] coz_ hmmm i save the icon as a svg file right?

What command-line utility can I use to see what my processor speed is? [03:33] my usb is not working after updating to 9.04 [03:33] no i don't [03:33] booksbuggy, did you put it in the folder in HOme?

[03:34] booksbuggy, yes under a new icon folder [03:34] I'm running hardy: I installed libxml-rss-perl 1.31-3 and it complains that DateTime module ""DateTime::Locale version 0.4 required--this is only version .35" why would the latest packages depend on something that is newer? [03:34] Harkins: Thank you!

[05:54] howdy everyone [05:55] generic i guess [05:55] Hola [05:55] it worked until i upgraded to 9.04 [05:56] I got my wireless card to connect to my network [05:56] basiczman: installing start-up manager would help but you can still do that by editing /boot/grub/menu.lst [05:56] nmvictor: i have vista and ubuntu on partitions but i only can boot into grub [05:56] anything i can do? [05:57] basiczman just use in terminal sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [05:57] what's wrong with grub? [05:57] tone: any ideas on fixing this [05:57] basiczman: edit into grub!what do you mean?

[06:00] basiczman:grub is what loads your Operating systems so if you want to set a default OS then you need to edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst which is read by grub or if that scares the hell out of you,just install start-up manager,it makes things simpler [06:00] anyone know how to downgrade certain packages in Ubuntu???? [06:01] jckl: what upgrade? [06:01] 9.04 [06:01] or can i revert to 8.10 [06:02] jckl: i hate to say for sure, i don't think you can downgrade [06:03] Fohn: What I think is going on is that your monitor hasn't been properly detected by xorg. GDM, the login screen, uses the highest resolution that Xorg is reporting possible, but your monitor probably doesn't handle that. Once you log in, gnome takes over and sets some default mode which your monitor does support. What type of monitor do you have? [06:03] so am i going to need to install fresh? [06:03] Is it possible to disable the persistence in a disk created using the "Make a USB Startup Disk" utility? [06:03] I'd like to create an image, customize it during one boot, and then disable persistence in the future. [06:03] hi [06:03] in /etc/network/interfaces, how can I add multiple route commands when the interface goes up? [06:04] I need to do a bunch of route add lah blah blah [06:04] kennyxyz: hi [06:04] Jckl: it would probably be a viable solution, providing that you can backup your data and place your packages on a cd so you don't have to d/l them again [06:05] how do i change a password for an account [06:05] Peace be upon you [06:05] geirha: A multisync 1560M LCD. It's pretty old. I believe I found the problem, though. I had configured my vert/horiz refresh rates in xorg.conf, however I had not ever set a proper resolution within that file so the login screen is defaulting to an obscenely high res. [06:05] via giu or cli [06:05] thelaugh1ngmime:sudo passwd user [06:06] i downloaded the 9.04 cd in case i couldnt get this fixed [06:06] geirha: Now all I'm trying to do is figure out how to put in a resolution in xorg.conf [06:06] i just hate to have to reinstall [06:07] Jckl: downgrading isn't really supported. You were supposed to have backed up the previous install before upgrading. Although it's possible in principle to downgrade individual packages, in practice a downgraded package may require downgraded libraries and the whole thing can get out of hand pretty quickly, hence not supported... [06:07] Fohn: Ah, if you pastebin your xorg.conf I can lend you a second pair of eyes. [06:07] is dalnet down? [06:08] how do I dual boot win7 & ubuntu 9.04? [06:08] I have a single disk with two partitions [06:08] I already installed win7 to the 1st partition [06:08] losher: you have any ideas how to fix a usb problem? [06:08] Oops. Looks like I answered the wrong person... [06:08] install windows and then linux [06:08] linux will give a dual boot option [06:08] bjangles, easiest way is to install win7 on part 1 ubuntu on part 2 [06:08] geirha: http://pastebin.com/m23eaf28c [06:08] install grub [06:08] if I install ubuntu to the second will it overwrite the mbr for the disk? [06:08] all set [06:09] hi [06:09] R_YoYo_R, I'm using a multi-bootloader called chameleon 2rc1 off another drive that has osx installed [06:10] Jckl: sorry, don't know much about usb. Welcome to 9.04 hell. Your quickest solution might to be reinstall the earlier working release... [06:10] Fohn: Ok, try with this. Remove the modes that doesn't fit. http://pastebin.com/m417f1441 [06:10] when you install ubuntu it will give a dual boot option [06:10] ok [06:10] does 9.04 have a bunch of usb problems? [06:10] does it install grub on it's own partition in that case? [06:11] yep [06:11] the easiest way is to have windows already installed and the rest of the drive fre [06:11] ok, I get it [06:11] free [06:11] thanks [06:11] Jckl: actually, I haven't seen many people complaining about usb in 9.04. its usually sound, flash, X11 complaints...

[06:43] bc: well the program launched so thats cool but the custom terminal profile didnt work [06:43] HikeTech: that's going to be interesting then.. you can start by `find /home/username -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 755` [06:43] mib_g3t0a19l: check out `man gnome-terminal` and look through the options for testing [06:44] HikeTech: then maybe `find /home/username -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 644` [06:44] bc, gives me a list of permission not denieds and operation not permited [06:44] HikeTech: who is the owner of the file(s) and directories?

[06:46] I've never added routing tables to /etc/iproute2/rt_tables before (or at all) could anyone help? [06:46] q0_0p: with screen, but you might want to use transmission-daemon and control it with transmission-remote instead [06:46] HikeTech: depends on if that user is still the owner of the home directory after your boo-boo [06:46] ah [06:46] how to start hardware detection in ubuntu? So tht it searches and loads drivers... [06:46] okay.

Does anyone know a good one? [06:54] k [06:54] thx [06:54] Nikolaus, vmware, virtualbox, kvm, qemu, take your pick [06:54] !vm [06:54] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [06:55] rags: I'm not sure what xfce's networking configuration applet is, but have you looked there to see if the device is listed? [06:55] bc: Ubuntu by default loads the driver module..but the card doesnt' work. It seems there was a bug related to this particular chipset. So I need to load other module. but mod probe doesnt' work. [06:55] bc, ifconfig works for all desktops :) [06:55] bc: yes it does get listed..but as i said it loads the wrong drivers.. [06:55] Titan8990: will it show up in ifconfig if it's not configured?

[06:57] hey all, when i have compiz or emerald running i can switch to metacity with metacity --replace. Are there any tiling window managers ( awesome, wmii, xmonad ) that also make it this easy? [06:57] I have another multibootloader on disk0 that is responsible for booting osx on that partition but it can also boot windows and linux off disk1 [06:57] q0_0p: transmission-daemon has a built in web interface too btw, so you can control it via a web-browser [06:57] bc: Yes..well tht's good..but the bloody drivers just won't get loaded... [06:58] I just need ubuntu self contained on it's own partition [06:58] ah i c [06:58] I don't want it to modify the mbr === Demonicdata is now known as Seti-high [06:58] rags: if lsmod shows the driver, it's loaded, so it may not be the right module? [06:58] seems like nohup is easiest to use [06:58] and I don't need grub to boot windows or anything, just ubuntu [06:59] so my question is, on a default install of ubuntu, does it modify the mbr? [06:59] vanita: yes. [06:59] if i nohup transmissioncli file.torrent, am i able to use transmission to see if it is done downloading or not? [06:59] how do I prevent that? [06:59] vanita: it installs GRUB [06:59] vanita:only if you let it [06:59] can I have it install grub to it's own partition? [06:59] vanita:yes [06:59] I would like to leave the mbr unmodified [06:59] how? [06:59] hmm [07:00] vanita: Choose not to install GRUB to a harddrive, or put it somewhere else (some other partition) [07:00] Has any one noticed compiz features not working since jaunty upgrade? :/ [07:00] vanita: It's on the last step of the installer. There's a button at the lower right labeled Advanced. If you click that, you get the option to choose where grub should be installed (or be installed at all) [07:00] I have the horrid beep at shut down,, and noticed my compiz cube etc is not any more.. === nobody is now known as Guest32546 [07:00] yep phenom [07:01] vanita:choose for the first sector on the partition [07:01] Any one know why my server would only show 7.7 gigs of ramn and not the 8 i have installed [07:01] hello. how to install devhelp-books of html formate ? some devhelp-books in the source cannot be found by apt-get [07:01] hob, your compiz is not working as expected either?

I ran the chown command you gave, and I did it in the ctrl-alt-X cli, not while logged into x or anything. [07:03] nn_ick: if it's a deb, you can try to use dpkg to install it.

Or else you will need to update your current boot loader each time there's a new kernel update [07:07] but running you whole OS in ram, man, but i cant complain to much with 3 gigs [07:07] vanita: no [07:07] i was going to get i mobo that can do 24 gigs but i couldnt find 4 gig sticks of ddr3 @2000 mhz [07:07] nn_ick: I see.

[07:10] Do I need to put the ISO it downloaded on a disk? [07:10] is there a terminal command I can run that will show me network activity of processes ? [07:10] if you do the stuff i do [07:10] bc: could u please repeat the command was it --window-with-theme? [07:10] what up [07:10] rags: if not, and you're sure it's the right module, try modprobe -r and then try modprobing it again. I suspect that won't work though. [07:10] i'm kinda confused by the way linux-restricted-modules works, with this 'volatile' directory....are there any docs on this? [07:10] Value = Slow [07:10] kholerabbi2: ntop? [07:10] geirha: how do I specify that option under the installer? [07:10] bc:lshw shows the card as unclaimed....ifconfig shows a new interface "pan0" ??

[07:11] bc: The pc hung...:( [07:11] well i have duel core amd x2, and a nvidia quatro for my 3d stuff, i dont see any reason to pay the premium for intel [07:11] processor is less important than ram [07:11] hey [07:11] SunnyDP, is there any way to check if the OS sees it all? [07:11] Hey can i enable ssh on ubuntu desktop edition? [07:11] vanita: If you install Ubuntu on /dev/sda5 for instance, then tell the installer (in the advanced section I mentioned earlier) to install the boot loader on /dev/sda5. Your main boot loader you'll need to edit manually. [07:11] what up blunts [07:11] rags: google says pan0 is something about bluetooth [07:12] thelaugh1ngmime: not sure [07:12] i have intermittent crashes/lockups, but not in windows, nor do the system crash upon a stresstest/memtest === kristian1halonen is now known as n0gear [07:12] geirha: thanks [07:12] I'll try that [07:12] Hey can i enable ssh on ubuntu desktop edition?

[07:13] vanita: Basicly you add an entry for /dev/sda5 in you main boot loader, and when you choose that option, you should get Ubuntu's grub where you can choose which kernel to use === Nicolas_ is now known as Guest25147 [07:14] Hi, I have a problem. I'm trying to Install Ubuntu with Wubi, and I'm at the point where I can choose to boot to Ubuntu, however, I get the Busybox Built-in Shell (ash) and I can't figure out what to do to continue installing Ubuntu. [07:14] [07:14] Do I need to put the ISO it downloaded on a disk? [07:15] Reefer: does this file exist? /etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run [07:15] I dont know i didnt install it yet [07:15] I dont know what version i should get [07:15] bc: If I reboot now..I am sure I'll see the card eth0 but it doesnt' work....I can't communicate with any n/w device....I can only ping the card....I found online tht this is because ubuntu loads the wrong drivers... [07:15] Reefer: yes, ssh/sshd are on desktop edition [07:15] ok nice [07:15] thanks bro [07:15] bc:http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO-4.html#ss4.18...this is the link to the bug report [07:15] How do i get more ips from my line? [07:16] bc: It was filed in 2006!! [07:16] Guest25147: Shouldn't be any need to burn it to a CD. It might be that the filesystem you installed ubuntu on needs to have a filesystem check done [07:16] rags: you sure that's the right link? === Snacks is now known as momo50 [07:16] hi [07:16] geirha: How do I do that? [07:17] bc: sorry...http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-closed@lists.debian.org/msg82672.html [07:18] how do i configure samba? [07:18] Guest25147: If you installed it on C:, then do a filesystem check on C: ... I'm not so familiar with windows, but you probably just right click C: and choose check disk or something. [07:18] i want to be able to access my files on my ubuntu box on all of my windows pcs [07:18] thelaugh1ngmime : if you are in gnome, right click a folder and choose "share", it will start samba etc for you [07:18] bc: so following this I tryed modprobe de4x5, but the sytem just hangs after a few seconds.... [07:19] how can I adjust my laptop's monitor contrast? (there are no "settings" button on the laptop) [07:19] geirha: I pre-partitioned it and installed it onto the Partition I made for it. Its in NTFS. I'll check up on it. [07:19] rags: what does lspci show your network card as? [07:19] Guest25147: Also make sure you shutdown windows cleanly. Ubuntu can't mount NTFS filesystems properly if Windows didn't unmount it properly. [07:19] i get a "net usershare returned error 255" when i try to share it [07:20] thelaugh1ngmime: you using gnome? [07:20] bc: It shows DECchip 21041 [Tulip Pass 3] chipset [07:20] * thelaugh1ngmime thinks he is using gnome [07:20] rags: lspci actually says that? [07:20] i just did the default install for ubuntu 9.04 [07:21] geirha: They can't!? Oh o. I restart Windows when it told me to so I don't think that is a problem. Giw do I unmount it successfully? [07:21] yes u am using 2.26.1 [07:21] Hey, i have just downloaded GTKpod, extracted the tar.gz file and trying to run the installer. When i try and install i get the following error : GNU gettext tools not found; required for intltool [07:22] Tully04: install it with dpkg instead [07:22] hi, right before ubuntu boots, i see a few errors scroll really fast. is there anyway i can see them? are they something i should be worried about? ubuntu seems to be running fine [07:22] bc: yes...04:09.0 Ethernet controller: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21041 [Tulip Pass 3] (rev 11) [07:22] dga: dmesg, /var/log/messages /var/log/syslog [07:22] Guest25147: Windows should unmount it properly if you choose shutdown or reboot from the start menu. Pulling the plug or hitting the reset button (if you have one) is bad though. [07:22] dga: dmesg | less [07:24] geirha: Yeah I understand that, although I shut down properly the last time. I'll try again, if its unsuccessful I'll come back. [07:24] hi, if i tar some stuff, will it make a copy, of get the stuf ??f [07:24] hey i think alot of people had this problem but im having trouble viewing other computers on my network. its telling my i cant mount it [07:25] thelaugh1ngmime: open terminal and run 'shares-admin' [07:25] How would i add the line "usershare owner only = false" to the [global] section of the smb.conf [07:25] qcjn: It will not remove the files you tar unless you use the --remove-files option [07:26] are beryl and compiz like competitors?

[07:26] i cant write or create files in var/www because of permissions how do i fix this [07:26] dsdeiz: due to disagreements, compiz split off into compiz and beryl. They've later merged back together though. [07:27] bc, i am at the screen. just about everything is greyed out [07:27] try2free: Did you try searching through the obvious places?

If your use is fred, then `sudo chown fred:fred /var/www` as a start [07:31] bc: Yes...It's still loaded...infact both are loaded...de2104x and de4x5 [07:31] is it ok to install grub to the same partition as ubuntu or should I install it to a different partition? The main thing is I don't want grub modifying the existing MBR or bootsector as I want ubuntu self contained on it's own partition [07:31] Is there a better in-place defragger for ext2/ext3 than shake? [07:32] rags: remove them both, then try that 4th post and see if that has any effect [07:32] rags: i.e. modprobe -r [07:32] bc: All right....I'll do tht...thx...but I am sure..it's going to hang again...

[07:33] iceroot: yes [07:33] Myrtti: thx [07:33] geirha: thanks [07:34] I have a rackserver with two disks that support hotswap. The raidcontroller in the box was a pos though, so I figured I might try a software raid. Am I safe to set this up on a live box, or would it require a format of the hd's? Also, how safe is a software raid1 ? Will I be OK to boot from disk #2 if #1 dies? [07:34] geirha: oh so now their just one.. i got hard time looking for beryl in the packages list [07:34] lol [07:34] they're* [07:34] bc:hmmm...well if this doesn't work, then I'm throwing it out....how to put the aliases? ther is no /etc/modprobe.conf file..

[07:38] bc, i turned shares on and did shares-admin and i can unlock it now (sorry i am a noob to linux. i am still in my first few days) [07:38] Nicolas__: Ubuntu is very dependant on Windows to have the NTFS drives "right". The specifications for NTFS are kept secret by Microsoft, so we're lucky we even have the ability to read and write to NTFS filesystems. [07:39] anybody can help me [07:39] ubuntu的工具真让我觉得新奇 [07:39] thelaugh1ngmime: hehe no problem, i've been a noob for about 10 years. it's a permanent illness [07:39] does anyone know how i can adjust the size and position of a terminal through a shortcut?

[07:50] anyone else having problems with samba???? === neechan is now known as nee-chan [07:50] I'm under the ubuntu installer where it says prepare disk space and I just selected the option specify manually [07:50] * thelaugh1ngmime waves at Darknezz [07:50] bc: maybe I should try ndiswrapper...I am tryin to get the windows drivers now.. [07:50] i am [07:50] Darknezz:it depends what the problem is [07:51] problem = its not working [07:51] barbarella2: worked like a charm but for some reason when I partitioned it, it had 16 gigs used ... so I had to repartition it which gives it a new uuid [07:51] barbarella2: i cant seem to connect onto other computers on my network [07:51] rags: ohhh it IS a wireless card? [07:51] barbarella2: its telling me it cant mount it [07:51] there is a partition with freespace I would like to install ubuntu to, when I select free space and click new partition, I select primary, then Ext3 journaling,, but what do I select for Mount point? is it /? [07:51] kerebrus:run vol_id /dev/drive again [07:52] also, what determines where grub gets installed? [07:52] I don't want it to make any changes to the MBR for that disk [07:52] barbarella2: yea did all that already and updated my fstab just dont wish to reboot my comp, helping someone with a steam issue write now, but want access to the drive lol [07:53] Darknezz:maybe cause you don't have the right permissions [07:53] right* [07:53] or should I select Ext4 journaling and the mount point / [07:53] ? [07:53] Nicolas__: I'm afraid I'm out of ideas. I have barely tried wubi myself. [07:53] kerebrus:use mount for now [07:53] barbarella2: but i cant get onto the domain at all..... [07:53] Geirha: Okay thank you for your help. I'll start branching out to more desperate solutions. [07:54] barbarella2: this is what it says "Failed to retrieve share list from server" [07:54] vanita: sure, why not? [07:54] simplexio, so select Ext4 journaling and mount point as root? [07:54] bc: No it's not...but it works on windows...can't I use ndis to load those drivers in linux? [07:54] vanita: I'd probably use ext3 [07:55] bc, what's the difference between ext3 and ext4? [07:55] has anyone run across kipi updates that aren't checkable in the update manager? [07:55] Darknezz:are you trying to connect to a windows pc? [07:55] also when do I tell it where to install grub? [07:56] Nicolas__: The forums might be of better help: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#Wubi Support Forum [07:56] hello, I formated a drive using partition editor to ext3 and the drive is now telling me 14 gigs are in use? does ext3 generally use up 14 gigs? [07:56] vanita: ext3 + 1 (sorry hehe) [07:56] it says I need to have swap space [07:56] you have not select partitions for swap space [07:56] barbarella2: well i have 2 domains im my house and i cant get onto any of them. one domain has 2 windows computer and the other domain has another ubuntu computer and none of them work... [07:56] kerebrus: How large is the partition? [07:56] I have 6gb ddr3 so how much swap space should I select? [07:57] I have 500gb partition to install to [07:57] rags: yeah I suppose that is worth a try, because I'm out of ideas on this one. [07:57] fileroller doesn't support extracting from samba share ? [07:57] geirha: 275.1 gb [07:57] Darknezz:have you installed samba server? [07:57] if I let the installer decide, and have it do side by side, does that install grub to mbr? [07:57] vanita: ddr3? are you talking about ram? [07:57] yes [07:58] it said I should make a swap partition [07:58] vanita: noooo, it's talking about a swap partition [07:58] I have 6gb ram, so what is a good swap partition size? [07:58] vanita: If you want to be able to hibernate, you'll want to have at least the same ammount as physical RAM. Otherwise, you don't need much, 1 gig or so is plenty. [07:58] vanita: oh, nevermind.. [07:58] no, I'm doing S3 hybernate [07:58] so yes, i will choose 6gb [07:59] I am not sure that i have the settings correct in samba for the "server settings" [07:59] bc: Thx mate...I hope it works with ndis atleast... [07:59] barbarella2: ...no like on version 8.10 it worked but when i updated to 9.04 it stoped working... [07:59] geirha, I spoke with you before, remember [07:59] I'm in the installer now and is recognizes the windows 7 partition1 and partition 2 that I left empty [07:59] vanita: 12, or maybe 8 [08:00] kerebrus: That's around 5% used. It uses that for journaling and stuff like that. [08:00] barbarella2: and i think the network on my other ubuntu pc works fine... (also 9,04) [08:00] rags: sorry I wasn't too much help :( [08:00] Question: I'm trying to set a specific background color in gnome-terminal using ncurses - but it doesn't work. Any ideas? [08:00] both are 500gb partitions and ubuntu give be the option to install them sided by side, choosing between them each startup or so specify manually [08:00] geirha: well its a 300 gb drive why is it only reading as a 275 gb? [08:00] I don't want it using a bootloader to let me choose which OS I want to boot [08:00] like, trying to create a specific color with an RGB code. [08:00] kerebrus: journal is my guess [08:01] I have another bootloader on disk0 that I will use to select which disk & partition I want to boot [08:01] so, should I specify partitions manually? [08:01] kerebrus: manufacturers usually use 1kb = 1000 bytes, not 1024 which computer does [08:01] bc: Dude...you were loads of help...Atlest I know that I have exhausted all my options when I throw the card out...:D [08:01] Can I force gnome-terminal to use colors in ncurses? [08:01] i hate the fact that hard drive companys dont know math [08:01] and if I create a swap partition should I make it logical? [08:01] rags: well I would probably wait and ask around again tomorrow also. [08:02] !mix [08:02] and what files system & mount point should I use? [08:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about mix [08:02] i have over 5tb of storage that i bought but i only have atuall 4.4TB [08:02] vanita: I always do manual partititoning myself ... [08:02] i want my other 600 gigs [08:02] vanita: logical or primary, doesn't matter at all. [08:02] why cant i install ubuntu 9.04 from cd? [08:02] ncurses. RGB colors. Anyone? [08:02] geirha, I also want to do it manually [08:03] the installer frezzes [08:03] I am going to open a gas station that says 1gal = 2.8 ltrs [08:03] so I click free space and then new partition [08:03] lol [08:03] i wll have the "cheepist" gas in town [08:03] bc: Yeah...I am hopeful of ndis...cause it works in windows. [08:03] first I should create the swap partition, then the main partition? [08:03] .... [08:03] vanita: Yeah. How much space do you have available for Ubuntu? [08:03] what should I mount the swap as /swap? [08:04] I have 500gb available for ubuntu in the free space [08:04] rags: no guarantees. I had a crappy netgear card that used ndiswrapper and it wouldn't stay connected [08:04] vanita: Then I'd go for something like 15G for /, 6G swap, and the rest for /home [08:04] oh [08:04] ok [08:04] how does ubuntu normally do it? [08:05] does anyone know how i need to configure my network setting for samba? [08:05] do you setup / as primary and /swap and /home as logical? [08:05] vanita: If you choose the "use available space" option it will make a swap partition and a / partition. Not sure how it decides the size of the swap though [08:06] I am using GADMIN-SAMBA 0.2.7 [08:06] also use ext3 journaling for all? [08:06] vanita: swap isn't mounted and therfore doesn't use a mount point [08:06] vanita: primary or logical. It doesn't matter to ubuntu. [08:07] you mean, use the largest continous free space? [08:07] there's an option like that [08:07] vanita: swap must have filesystem type swap. For / and /home, I recommend ext3 [08:07] Does anyone know how to force ncurses to use custom colors? [08:07] Because it won't in gnome-terminal [08:07] if I don't select the manual partition option (advanced) [08:08] vanita: I'd recommend doing it manually and make a separate partition for /home [08:08] ok [08:09] so if I make one for /home and another for / how does it know where to put swap? [08:09] do I have to leave empty space for swap and it automatically creates it? [08:10] vanita: No, you must create those three partitions yourself [08:10] ok [08:10] vanita: what distro are u installing? [08:10] vanita: with the manual approach [08:10] ubuntu 9.04 [08:10] x64 desktop [08:10] geirha: let him use the installer itll do it for him [08:11] mib_g3t0a19l: Does the installer create a separate /home by default? [08:11] geirha: yeah it should [08:11] tell me one useful command apart from dmesg to have displayed the desktop ?? [08:11] geirha: all he has to do is choose entire disk [08:11] vanita: u installing it now? [08:12] so I'll create one 16000 MB partition for / and the rest for /home [08:12] mib_g3t0a19l: Ah ok, I always choose manual [08:12] and a 6gb partition for swap [08:12] vanita: if u dont want to deal with the risk of screwing it up [08:12] vanita: how much ram do you have? [08:12] mib_g3t0a19l, yes I have the installer on the screen right now [08:12] 6gb ram [08:12] vanita: just choose entire disk itll do everything for u [08:12] 500gb hd [08:13] just choose entire disk [08:13] partition 1 with win7 & partition 2 empty for ubuntu which has 500gb free [08:13] it's a 1tb drive [08:13] itll create the filesystem and at the end of it a partition for swap [08:13] ohh [08:13] then dont do entire one [08:13] :P [08:13] unless u want to be rid of ur win7 [08:13] the other thing is that, I have another hard drive with OS X installed [08:13] Hi, I have a server running Ubuntu 7.10, I would like to upgrade it to 8.04 LTS, can someone advise how to do that? do-release-upgrade seems to want to upgrade to the latest [08:14] and it has a special bootloader that I'm using to boot Mac, Windows, and Linux [08:14] ok so wait the HD u want to install to now has only windows 7 on it? [08:14] I'm on ubuntu 8.04 using vlc 0.8.6e and I need to be able to watch .wmv, what lib do I need? [08:14] so I don't want ubuntu to overwrite the MBR on disk1 [08:14] well u need to choose to have it not install grub then [08:14] hi [08:14] I just want ubuntu to install to disk1 partition1 and have grub also install to the same partition as ubuntu so it doesn't overwrite the mbr [08:14] go into advanced and there should be option for that [08:15] as for installing i beleive theres an option saying install in the free space or something [08:15] ok [08:15] I'm in the installer now [08:15] I selected the default options at boot, english etc [08:16] now it's at the prepare disk space screen === emre_ is now known as emreturkay [08:16] and it recognizes the two partitions, one with windows and the other empty [08:16] what options do u have? [08:16] it gives me the option to install them side by side, choosing between them each startup [08:16] in irssi if i am in more than one channel how to i switch between chans [08:16] use entire disk [08:16] user largest continuous free space [08:17] thelaugh1ngmime: alt-# or ctrl-p/n [08:17] well i beleive u should install them side by side [08:17] and lastly specify partitions manually (advanced) [08:17] now if I do side by side is it going to use grub to make me boot either windows or linux? [08:17] because I don't want that [08:18] the problem with that is probably yeah [08:18] I have my own bootloader on disk0 [08:18] vanita: No, you'll get the option on where to install grub later [08:18] but do u know how to edit the windows bootloader to load ubuntu? [08:18] cause its kind of hard [08:18] ok [08:18] so maybe I should do the side by side option? [08:18] I'm in favor of learning how to do it manually though [08:19] it's easy enough, I'm just not sure about how to create the swap partition [08:19] yeah u should do that itll probably replace the bootloader with grub but then after that if u want ur window one u just need windows cd u go into teh recovery console and u type in fixmbr and it replaces the ubuntu one with windows one again === __Freeman is now known as _Freeman [08:19] ohh the swap [08:19] vanita, one of the options in the manual partitioning section is for 'swap' - been a while since I did any partitioning, though [08:19] mib_g3t0a19l, i don't need to edit the windows bootloader [08:20] I'm using another bootloader off disk0 called chameleon 2rc1 [08:20] how do I see how much space is left on a disc in Brasero (data project)?? [08:20] yeah the swap is usually supposed to be double your ram lol but u have 6 GB unless ure gonna use the hibernation id just go for making a 3 GB swap should be enough i mean u do have 6 GB [08:20] ohh ok [08:20] it auto detects the any operating windows, mac, linux os on any drive or partition and has a stage1 and stage2 bootloader [08:20] never heard of chameleon [08:20] so it just hands off to the OS [08:20] I just need ubuntu installed to it's own partition including grub [08:21] hmmm [08:21] that simple, but I'm not familiar with how to partition / , /home, and /swap [08:21] u dont need to do /home i beleive [08:21] install 9.04, whats the smallest size partition I can use? 6GB too small? [08:21] just / and /swap [08:22] mib_g3t0a19l, even /swap is optional. I ran without one for several years. [08:22] I'm going to try manual [08:22] anyione? [08:22] but a seperate /home makes things much easier in the long run, and /swap is useful [08:22] well the one u need to the which takes up all of the hard drive except for however u want to keep for swap should be mount point / and use either the ext3 or ext4 id recommend 3 though [08:22] I'll start with a 16000 MB partition for /swap [08:22] Madpilot: helP? [08:22] vanita: im using Virtualbox. no need [08:22] as logical [08:22] Madpilot: yeah he doesnt really need it especially with 6 GB lol [08:23] vanita: Go with 16GB / and 6GB Swap, rest for /home [08:23] eternaljoy, I'm actually not sure what the min. size for Ubuntu is anymore, TBH [08:23] eternaljoy, not directing that to you [08:23] vanita: whats the size of Ubuntu installed? [08:23] 16,0000 for swap lol u do know ull never use that right [08:23] geirha, ok [08:23] mib_g3t0a19l: :P [08:23] geirha, primary for /? [08:23] since it's root? [08:23] mib_g3t0a19l: ubuntu can run without a swap partition.. Ubuntu LiveCD does :) [08:23] my 8.04 has a problem with firewall === ABC is now known as Guest95503 [08:23] and the rest logical? [08:24] eternaljoy: i know lol [08:24] Please help!!!!!!!!!! [08:24] vanita: swap only needs to be bigger than your ram IMO [08:24] vanita: Sure, it doesn't matter if it's primary or logical [08:24] mib_g3t0a19l: :) [08:24] vr_, whats going on with your firewall [08:24] vanita: swap is optional [08:24] Khisanth, ok, I'll make swap 12gb [08:24] it is better swap is 2xRAM [08:25] vanita: i mean u have 6 Gb i dont think ull need swap honestly [08:25] I have 6GB RAM [08:25] yeah vr_ i told him that [08:25] it's better not to swap :) [08:25] mib_g3t0a19l: needed for hibernation though [08:25] but he has 6 GB i dont think hell be using that much [08:25] yeah that is true [08:25] oh, I see the option for use as swap area [08:25] ok [08:25] if you are running a production db server you need swap [08:25] I'll just do 6GB [08:25] mib pls help me [08:26] idk i use Linux Mint its basically Ubuntu with a few changes hibernation got messed up and from what i read hibernation isnt that great right now in linux idk [08:26] vr_: that is an old rule for when computers had little ram. I'd realyl hope to NEVER use 2xRAM fo r swap these days (can you imagine how slow a system paging 12GB into and out of disk is going to be?) [08:26] vr_ bro im kind of beginner with linux [08:26] yeah mib if you are using a desktop hibernation not very necessary [08:26] mib_g3t0a19l, I was going to use mint7 but I have i7 920 with 6gb ram and min7 isn't released as x64 yet [08:26] *mint7 [08:27] any idea how to bring firewall back to factory settings [08:27] vanita: if i were u honestly i wouldnt even set anything for swap [08:27] just make a ext3 formatted with mount point / [08:27] hi... i have a small but very annoying problem .. my keyboard repeat stops working every now and then .. i then have to go to preferences and move the repeat speed slider a bit to get it to work again... what could be wrong? [08:27] mib_g3t0a19l, ok but will S3 sleep still work? [08:27] I'm using hibernate mode 0 [08:27] vanita: not sure, sorry [08:27] which doesn't save to ram [08:27] the problem is that the ubuntu is used for browsing net and is used by many people [08:27] I have plenty of disk space [08:27] better safe then sorry [08:28] vanita: go for it [08:28] I can always delete swap later this is just a test install [08:28] vanita: ok try it [08:28] ok so now that worked [08:28] just have to creat the /home [08:28] what is /boot? [08:28] vanita: it does it automatically i beleive [08:29] ok [08:29] vanita: /boot holds things necessary for booting. [08:29] u dont need it i dont think the / mount point will create everything [08:29] anyone have an idea on how to fix the problem of my computer not being able to talk to the dns server? i'm using a wireless connection. and on the same computer it works fine in windows. i'm running ubuntu 8.10 === desti_T2 is now known as desti [08:29] well I set 16GB for / , 7GB for swap, and the rest for /home [08:29] that was easy enough [08:29] vanita, it hold things like initrd and system map [08:29] that's correct. Any mount points you don't specify will just live inside of / [08:29] everything formated as Ext3 journaled [08:29] vanita: Sounds good. [08:30] geirha, thanks [08:30] vanita, things needed to boot the system till it can run itself basically I think [08:30] jackncoke23, did you add dns entries in resove.conf? [08:30] things are going smooth now [08:30] jackncoke23, did you add dns entries in resolve.conf? [08:30] now for the hard part, what is my name... [08:31] jackncoke23, did your wireless card detected? [08:31] raghu125coorg - would i have to do that if my ip gateway and everything else, besides the dns are fine? [08:31] lol i dont think that the swap should be ext3 lol [08:31] vanita: On step 7 of 7 you'll want to hit the Advanced button to choose where to install grub [08:31] and u didnt need to do /home lol [08:31] now I see the option for advanced [08:31] under the ready to install screen [08:32] yep choose whatever u need there [08:32] raghu125coorg - its pulling the right dns address, just i can't ping it or anything [08:32] geirha, it says install boot loader [08:32] should I uncheck that so it doesn't modify mbr? [08:32] hello all.. how can i enable my webcam on acer4520? [08:32] vanita: Yes, you want that, but you want to install it to the partition you set as / [08:32] hello all.. how can i enable my webcam on acer4520? [08:32] geirha, I see I can specify where to install it [08:32] jackncoke23, is your card requires authentication? [08:33] to connect to the router, yes [08:33] hello all.. how can i enable my webcam on acer4520? [08:33] but if the firewall is vanita, i've a problem after installing ufw/gufw (firewall) if i disable firewall net will not be connected [08:33] jackncoke23, have you supplied the network key to join to the network [08:33] vanita: Should be /dev/sda2 if you made / first and made it primary [08:34] ubottu, repeat | endtask89 [08:34] endtask89: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[08:35] actually, it's /dev/sda4 [08:35] I had to go back and look [08:36] thanks a lot!!...

[08:38] any firewall specialist here [08:39] ciao [08:39] raghu125coorg - that i'm not sure, its run by my internet provider [08:39] c'è qualche anima pia [08:39] che mi può aiutare?

[08:40] does anyone know how i can set the position of a terminal using x and y values in a shortcut? [08:40] or laucher* [08:40] jackncoke23, there is discription in the URL [08:40] raghu125coorg - thats going to replace the network manager 7? [08:40] because win7 create a funky 104MB partition separate from it's normal NTFS partition [08:40] vanita: Yes, and you won't be able to boot into ubuntu after you install. You need to add and entry for /dev/sda3 to your main boot loader before you'll be able to boot it [08:40] hi [08:40] vanita: yeah i noticed taht also when using 7 [08:40] jackncoke23, no [08:40] vanita: you said /dev/sda4 eariler btw ... [08:41] it's ok, I backed up my MBR before hand using dd [08:41] I think this will work though [08:41] I wonder, is there a repository which will be able to test Karmic features all along the way, or do we have to wait for the RC ? [08:41] why would u back it up lol u could always just do fixmbr lol [08:42] does anyone know how i can set the position of a terminal using x and y values in a launcher shortcut? [08:42] raghu125coorg - then i'm just curious. if it does the same thing as networkd manager 7, then why not replace it? [08:42] vanita: excellent [08:42] mib_g3t0a19l, so i just installed the latest Windows 7 7137 [08:42] vanita pls help me [08:42] I'm more excited about OS X 10.5.7 though [08:43] DFDFSFSDF [08:43] vr_ I'm a linux newb [08:43] but ask away [08:43] you don't ask to ask for help [08:43] jackncoke23, its much simpler and friendly....you were able to connect through LAN cable?

[09:42] Hi, I'm using an Intel Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller and rendering is quite slow (barely acceptable) even when using Metacity (my usual window manager) and even worse when using Compiz. Windows noticeably redraw, things remain black for a 0.5 second before the window is rendered, Compiz's Alt+Tab switcher is quite slow. It's pretty bad in 1024x768 but it seems even worse when using an extenral monitor and 1920x1200.

[09:44] cool [09:44] I like the search feature [09:44] I just used it to find the compizconfig-settings-manager [09:45] now, to pimp out compiz on this gts 250 [09:45] you said cube?

[10:08] What is that file called, on either linux or windows, that we use to assign a name to an IP address [10:09] hermdog: how odd, what chipset? [10:09] so anyone know how to set pcmanfm as default file manager without having it manage the desktop/ [10:09] lyrae: /etc/hosts? [10:09] ziroday: thanks [10:09] couldnt remember it for some reasomn [10:09] ziroday: broadcom BCM4401-B0 [10:09] probably because it's 5am [10:09] h4mx0r pcm Volume?? (Sorry, im a ubuntu n00b) [10:09] when I try to access one of my drives that is formated as HFS+ (Mac OS X) , it brings up the drive but on some folders I get permission denied [10:10] ziroday: it worked properly in 8.10, and my wifi works perfect! [10:10] hermdog: you sure thats the ethernet card chipset? [10:10] VampiricPadraig: it should be listed there [10:10] for example, the users folder, how do I get around this so I can read data of the HFS+ drive? [10:10] ziroday: that will be displayed in lspci right? or is there a better command? [10:11] There's a scapy package in the ubuntu repository, but the scapy6 is not there. [10:11] its not there [10:11] vanita: try adding the drive to /etc/fstab and make sure you don't enable such permissions [10:11] hermdog: can you pastebin your lspci please [10:11] there is no proper desktop env [10:11] mac os x create permissions by default on user folders [10:11] vanita: You can run nautilus as root with gksudo nautilus [10:11] i don't like any of them [10:11] Whats a good software for taking files and making an iso out of them? [10:11] ok [10:11] let me try that [10:12] areels: you tried openbox or lxde out yet? [10:12] ziroday: um, yeah... let me figure out how to pastebin lol [10:12] !pastebin [10:12] 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) [10:12] !pastebin | hermdog [10:12] hermdog: please see above [10:12] h4mx0r: no i didnt, are they any good? [10:12] areels: very good for performance [10:13] ziroday: done [10:13] geirha, that worked [10:13] areels: there this sub distro called crunchbang based off ubuntu, they do weird stuff with openbox on the lite edition [10:13] http://paste.ubuntu.com/182682/ [10:13] hum let me check then [10:13] i guess thats how to do that [10:13] h4mx0r, how would I add the drive to /etc/fstab? [10:14] vanita: I dunno google around for examples. I've never used HSF+ file system === gaohl is now known as corey [10:14] geirha, it won't copy though [10:14] ziroday: that work?? [10:14] hermdog: your ethernet card does not appear to be there. The BCM4312 is your wireless card [10:14] Already figured the answer myself. Since changing from a wireless connection to a wired connection will change the ipaddress of my machine, all currently open nfs connections will get disconnected since they are connected coming from an ip address that isn't online anymore [10:14] ziroday, yes xdaliclock -root [10:14] now i have no sound...AAGH! [10:15] ziroday, -root Draw on the root window instead. [10:15] it says cannot be handled becase you do not have permissions to read it [10:15] hermdog: woops sorry I'm being blind :). In a terminal try do sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter and then restart [10:15] but it opens the files [10:15] macsim`work: you need to create a special X session specially for the root user [10:15] just won't let me copy them from my mac drive to ubuntu [10:15] I'm cool with that [10:15] vanita: drag and drop between two nautilus windows run as root. [10:15] vanita: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingUUID and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab seem helpful [10:16] ziroday, you don't get it ;), -root as nothing about root account, it's root "windows" on X server [10:16] vanita: the destination nautilus window is the one that initiates the copy/move, so that's the window that really need root access [10:16] !rude [10:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about rude [10:16] i get "firefox is already running' even though i don't see it. i see it in 'ps -a'. even after running 'pkill firefox' it's still there. any ideas? [10:16] raghu125coorg - ok i'm back [10:16] geirha, awesome thanks! [10:16] ziroday: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart? [10:16] ziroday: or is there a way to just restart eth0? [10:16] hermdog: no restart [10:16] owen1, try restarting your pc [10:17] hermdog: ifdown eth0 and ifup eth0 as root [10:17] owen1: try killall -9 firefox [10:17] hey peolpe, another question which is not strictly ubuntu related: I want to have a virtual machine running Max OSX in Ubuntu for testing purposes. Can anyone recommend any good docs on that or whichjjj virtualisation software I should use (preferrably open source of course)? [10:17] hermdog: no do an actual restart :) [10:17] ziroday: ok [10:17] Can anyone help me with my Intel WiFi 4935 card? When I do the iwconfig command I get "no wireless extensions." [10:17] geirha, that worked! [10:17] hey everyone how do you find out what libraries or dependencies/files something needs? [10:17] ziroday: works! [10:17] it's amazing that hfs+ driver works in ubuntu so well [10:17] biest: make sure the switch is in the on position then sudo lshw to see what its logical name is [10:18] http://paste.ubuntu.com/182685/ [10:18] so I alway have to do gksudo nautilus? [10:18] hello. any of yoiu using wpa_supplicant? I have rules in /etc/network/interfaces that work well, but I'd like to make use of the if-*.d/ dirs instead [10:18] fuzzybunny69y: define "something" [10:18] or I guess I can use the fstab uuid method that h4mx0r mentioned? [10:18] i give up [10:18] are you talking about a .deb file you pulled of the internet, or are you installing something using aptitude, are you hand compiling software? [10:18] kiss [10:18] atm I'm using wpa_supplicant.conf, and am calling wpa_supplicant with pre-up for wireless interface in /etc/network/interfaces [10:19] vanita: yep works great, I did that so I have a separate /home directory for when I reinstall the system with whatever I like each day [10:19] ok restarting system [10:19] hermdog: sudo shutdown -h 0 [10:19] kk brb [10:20] h4mx0r, thanks I'll loook into it [10:20] h4mx0r, does shutdown -h 0 have to do with s3 hibernate 0 mode? [10:20] hi after a sudo apt-get update i get this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/182687/ anyone knoe a fix? [10:21] vanita: no its just the shutdown command that screams "system going down now!!" on every console and shutsdown immediately [10:21] oh [10:22] vanita: man pm-hibernate [10:22] prentice5: that is not a real problem. For security purposes apt can use signatures to verify that a repository is who they say they are. For the repository that causes the error, you don't have the signature installed [10:22] ziroday: back [10:23] are there any ubuntu-comptible digital camera that can also be used as webcam e.g. live streaming on system...? [10:23] geirha, ubuntu has amazing an amazing support community [10:23] prentice5: but for launchpad repositories they often aren't available at all. Just ignore it unless you really want to have it gone, then ask the repository maintainer for the public key and install it. Maybe they have docs on it somewhere [10:23] I wish the mac irc channels were a fraction of what this channel is like [10:23] I get this as logical name (I think): " *-network UNCLAIMED" [10:24] the windows channel is an even bigger joke [10:24] ciao [10:24] ziroday: so i did a restart, when i run 'ifconfig eth0 up' i get 'no such device' erros [10:25] hermdog: sorry I have to run [10:25] nessuno parla in italiano? [10:25] :( === root is now known as Guest404 [10:25] ziroday: kk [10:25] hermdog: do sudo lshw and check to see if its logical name is really eth0 [10:25] ubottu, it | rescorpione [10:25] rescorpione: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

So I will be watching. [10:28] OO ok [10:28] uncmar: correct method would be to add blacklist pcspkr to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist but you probably went and deleted or chmodded it and I have no clue [10:28] so i ran sudo lshw [10:28] *-network DISABLED [10:28] description: Ethernet interface [10:28] physical id: 2 [10:28] logical name: pan0 [10:28] serial: 22:bf:02:08:50:a7 [10:28] capabilities: ethernet physical [10:28] hermdog: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[10:33] xubnub: digits. [10:33] DanDan: can you open synaptic and choose fix broken packages from the menu then apply [10:33] uncmar: so, in this case 0 or ~ ? [10:34] DanDan: its no biggy really you probably quit halfway through the install [10:34] xubnub: all other characters are problematic. such as ! [10:34] h4mx0r : I did !! .. and it doesnt fix it :( [10:34] xubnub: I usually use 0- [10:34] uncmar, i see, thanks alot :) [10:34] h4mx0r : flashpluging-non free is broken and the flashplugin-installer is not installed [10:35] DanDan: does synaptic say its installed if so right click and choose full removal if not install it then do full removal [10:35] h4mx0r: is it ok if i post my lshw? [10:35] 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 [10:35] biest: you got not network? sure and post /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/network/interfaces [10:35] xubnub: I had previously used (DL) or !DL but both became problems when using linux. Not impossible, just troublesome and annoyting. [10:36] h4mx0r : I did try that too .. I cant even remove it :( [10:36] h4mx0r :Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal. [10:37] h4mx0r: you get my link? [10:38] I have *-network:1 UNCLAIMED. product: WMP11v4 802.11b PCI card. Suggestions on getting that working? [10:38] h4mx0r: ok i think i got it fixed. it seems that it decided to hide under the name pan0. now how to [10:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/182705/ [10:38] hermdog: ok its eth1 for wireless. Your ethernet isn't using a driver right now so you might have to look it up to see what to use http://paste.ubuntu.com/182706/ [10:39] is there some kind of screensaver daemon i can restart or something? the screensaver won't come on after 10 minutes.. [10:39] u can give it a try ndiswrapper uncmar [10:39] h4mx0r : ok aside from this problem .. after the upgrade i dont have a wireless connection manager ( I used to use wicd ) but i cant even install it from synaptic :S [10:39] DanDan: what you need to do is sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a I think if your having broken stuff [10:39] DanDan: enable the repositories you use, some might be out of date and don't do 9.04 [10:39] h4mx0r: http://paste.ubuntu.com/182707/ [10:40] h4mx0r : ok what other wireless network managers I can use to connect :S? .. [10:40] hermdog: pan0 is not a networking device [10:40] h4mx0r: what is it then? [10:40] really, what is pan0... thats what im always wonderin lol [10:40] i thought its bluetooth firstly [10:41] look at my pastebin it looks like ethernet, thats why i got all confused [10:41] DanDan: wicd isn't bad, comes with default network manager. But I don't use either. wireless tools from command line such as iwlist and iwconfig etc are good. If you edit /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/network/interfaces you should be able to ifup your wireless [10:41] I'm trying to get a bluetooth keyboard to work in jaunty. It's connected now, but I can't type...

While installing Ubuntu Server 8.04 I've fount an 'unpleasant moment'. After configuring network (network cable was unplugged) the install hanged on apt checking volatile mirror ... After 15 minutes of waiting I had to reboot pc ... Why not to reconfigure installer and add 'skip' button when checking mirrors ? [10:45] ok h4mx0r: what do you suggest? [10:45] If it's a 'Server' dist then why should administrators keep waiting ? [10:47] I have the pcspkr back. It was just muted. [10:47] Hello there. I have a cruzer U3 4GB that worked perfectly so far (half a year or so). Suddenly, in the middle of using it, I can't mount it anymore. It got stuck in the middle of copying (from the usb to my computer), and I had to unmount it, and trying to mount it again fails.

You should use a standard file recovery program. I'd suggest one but I can't think of any. [10:49] DanDan: no clue all I know is its something to do with using a dpkg command to fix it [10:50] uncmar peleg: active undelete in windows [10:50] asu,celeng [10:50] kontol [10:50] pronoy, "active undelete" is a name of a program?

You will likely have to look into it and get a package to install ethernet support or do some custom compiling [10:53] my ubuntu 8.10 no sound at all [10:53] is there anyone help me ?thanks [10:54] h4mx0r: ok well thanx anyway [10:54] DanDan: did you try removing it fully and reinstalling it? [10:54] hermdog: if you google that one pastebin I showed you can find the appropriate module and perhaps modprobe it to start it up [10:55] hermdog: problem might be the detection and it has the software to use it already [10:55] h4mx0r : flashplugin yes ! its too stubborn that it wont even be removed !! [10:55] DanDan: hang on I'll check the package and tell you which directories it creates to delete it manually [10:55] h4mx0r: it worked fine in 8.10 but i lost it in the upgrade :( [10:57] can someone help me out with setting up mysql?

[10:59] hermdog: reboot to a livecd or usb of 9.04 and resize your install, create a separate ext3 filesystem for /home contents to there. Then reboot and install over your current system (not the separate /home) that should fix it and save all your files [10:59] hermdog: you should only do that if the livecd or liveusb show that your ethernet is not "unclaimed" [11:01] hermdog: sudo gparted can do the things I mentioned very easily might take a while [11:01] ok [11:01] well i was thinking about doing a reinstall to duel boot lastxp [11:02] plz when i started my ubuntu8.10 there is no sound i need help [11:02] thanks [11:02] I need a problem with TOR setup / or maybe privoxy .....someone experienced with this ???

[12:31] e [12:31] NorthByNorthWest: okay, but doing chmod -R /home isn't going to work as new files written to those folders would be under more restrictive permissions. In every home folder there is the Public folder which you can put you're stuff in and have it shared with everyone [12:31] NorthByNorthWest:like chown -R root:group /where/files/are [12:32] HI [12:32] NorthByNorthWest: if thats an issue, then having them all use the same user account/homedir is probably the best [12:32] I need to have document systems [12:32] server ubuntu [12:32] NorthByNorthWest:why don't you create a samba server [12:32] Starcraftmazter: it certainly is failure of one of your hardware or indication of future failure of hardware [12:33] NorthByNorthWest: make users groups if there isnt one yet, then chgrp users those shareable files, or google acl, setfacl, getfacl and read about defaults [12:33] barbarella2: that is not applicable in this situation, there is no network [12:33] NorthByNorthWest:so there is only 1 computer [12:33] harpreet_: alright, i will try and uninstall proprietry gfx drivers and see if it helps just in case, thanks for your help [12:34] offcourse one solution is use local samba server, you can bind it to lo too, that solution is easy to expand if there is more computers [12:35] simplexio: a Public folder is already provided in every users homedir, there is /no/ need for a samba server [12:35] barbarella2: well... there will be 1 desktop, 2 laptops and a server running ubuntu-server edition (i think, it will amongst other things be used as a NAS) [12:35] NorthByNorthWest: but if you arent familiar with samba, and dont want to create some "share" based security, ACL is quite wasy to go [12:35] Is there a way to change this hard drive power down time? It powers down every 15 seconds even on AC power [12:35] NorthByNorthWest: wait, you need to explain your situation. You want to have an ubuntu file server sharing to windows clients, correct? [12:36] ziroday: yeah.. there is no need, but its one solution, and its easy to expand if there is more computers in future [12:36] moin [12:36] Impcaligula: moin [12:36] NorthByNorthWest:you can better start good and setup a samba server [12:36] NorthByNorthWest: in that case, samba is way to go. [12:36] Can someone walk me trough how to connect my Ubuntu 9.04 to an existing Win Vista local network in private chat? Thank you. [12:36] thats nice channel... can i ask here something about ubuntu? [12:37] longcat: how do you know that? [12:37] Impcaligula: sure! [12:37] Because I can feel it turn on and see the light hang for 2 seconds [12:37] Krastyo: you mean connect it to a wireless network? [12:37] Hi, I'm having trouble starting blender in Ubuntu.. I've tried starting it in a terminal, and I get this: http://pastebin.com/d45e22441 What is wrong and how can I fix it? [12:37] and I can feel it when it's off [12:37] Hi, after uninstalling nautilus, how can I set emelfm2 as the default file manager? [12:37] It's actually every 5 seconds :X [12:37] Well... this is my dream scenario: the server is running linux, it works as a NAS in principle, BUT id love it if the users could mount a common folder on the server from, lets say, their home on their laptops... [12:38] Jampiter: eek nasty, are you running compiz? [12:38] some question... when i download ubuntu (i have here on my ThinkPad installed Vista) - when i download ubuntu, can i install the ubuntu linux diectly from USB Stick or i need a ISO DVD or CD? The Problem is, i have no CD or DVD here in the near! [12:38] Jampiter: my best quess is that you dont have X11 module "glx" loaded [12:38] Krastyo: in this channel please. Have you tried directly connecting to them with nautilus? [12:38] on the desktop computer, which will be sitting in the same office as the server... they will have one user each... it would make things easier if they could access each others home-folders without restriction... [12:39] Impcaligula: you have to make usb iso [12:39] NorthByNorthWest: why not just create a public shared folder? [12:39] ziroday: Yes, I think so [12:39] oh ok - thats no problem for me to make this... ok - usb iso... [12:39] simplexio: How do I load this module? [12:39] ziroday: not yet... if you can give me a link to a web page where it says how I can do that will be much appreciated [12:40] Krastyo: okay, in nautilus address bar type smb://ip.address.of.server [12:40] Editing the values in /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf seems to have no effect [12:40] NorthByNorthWest: "right" way to is share home dirs with "user" pricacy and then share some public dir with guest rw, or under some user/pass compo [12:40] NEW Dating Sites http://www.dating2.bravehost.com/ [12:40] Jampiter: in a terminal can you do metacity --replace please [12:40] ziroday: that would be the easiest way for me... but since these people arent very... hmm... "skilled" users.... unrestricted access to each others folders would make the system easier for them to use... and more easy to understand [12:40] sexyx: please don't advertise here [12:40] sexyx: FAIL [12:40] Jampiter: check if its loaded allraeady [12:40] someone please kick these great people out [12:41] ziroday: Okay [12:41] simplexio: glxinfo doesn't work either [12:41] Jampiter: yeh, you have no GLX loaded [12:42] ziroday: Did that and it changed nothing =/ [12:42] Jampiter: and cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep GLX , probably says no too [12:42] Jampiter: okay, what driver are you using? [12:42] i cant seem to get my server to recognize my local auth key. when i try to log in it tells me "Agent admitted failure to sign using the key" and asks for the users normal password to login. [12:42] NorthByNorthWest:yes, and it's goining to be a rubbish [12:42] Hi was curious if anyone would know why a pcmcia card powers up in windows but not in linux. [12:42] i see no entries in /var/log/auth.log in regards to the key auth [12:42] ziroday & simplexio : I'm using the restricted driver for an ATI Radeon 200M express [12:42] NorthByNorthWest: in your case i recommend daily backups to place where users dont have access then... [12:43] NorthByNorthWest:double files, file 1, 1a 2bz etc. [12:43] MrStatic: you havent loaded drivers in linux ? [12:43] simplexio: ziroday: Restart [12:43] simplexio: I cant till I know the firmware version. Which wont show up since the card wont power up [12:43] barbarella2: rubbish why? because they might mess up each others files? [12:44] Well... perhaps a shared folder on the server is the best way to go...? [12:44] Hi, after uninstalling nautilus, how can I set emelfm2 as the default file manager? [12:44] NorthByNorthWest:yes much better [12:45] NorthByNorthWest: yes.. newbies mess others stuff or are alwlays scared to delete something that they shouldnt.. easiest solution is to have full backups === administrator_ is now known as IHS_Intern [12:45] simplexio: im thinking of doing a backup anyway... best way to go! [12:46] NorthByNorthWest:depends on the media you are goining to use [12:46] NorthByNorthWest:and the space you are goining to need === saulus_ is now known as SauLus [12:47] ziroday: Ok, I tried accessing the local shared folders on Vista using nautilus as you suggested, but it gives me an err msg: „smb://192.168.1.15/“ cannot be showed (or opened - not sure of correct translation). Any other idea? need some log or entry output? [12:47] Still trying to replace a UUID that no longer points to the swap space on my system with /dev/sda5 with a command line thing that I can add to a script.(been doing it with nano on all machines thus far, but I don't see a way to automate nano) [12:48] IHS_Intern: use sed... i told you how to yesterday [12:48] Krastyo: sorry, this is an ubuntu machine trying to access vista shared folders? [12:48] sudo sed s/UUID=717b362f-0c96-4d13-8328-fe55666acbf//dev/sda5/ > /etc/fstab gives bash: /etc/fstab: Permission denied [12:48] Hey how do I use umask for only a specific directory? (as in outside of that directory I want my own behaviour) [12:48] erUSUL the command you gave me gave unknown something or other. [12:48] IHS_Intern: sudo sed -i 's/oldUUID/newUUID/' /etc/fstab [12:48] IHS_Intern: and you dont want to change uuid to /dev/something [12:49] simplexio, there is NO UUID for the new swap space [12:49] ziroday: Yes - I am on Ubuntu 9.04 trying to access a vista shared folder. I am using a Netgear router. Vista is connected wired to the router, while the Ubuntu is connected wireless [12:49] IHS_Intern: sudo sed -i 's/oldUUID/\/dev\/sda5/' /etc/fstab [12:49] IHS_Intern: you can create it or get it with some command [12:49] Krastyo: right, and you can ping said windows machine? [12:49] IHS_Intern: partitions have allways a uuid [12:49] !blkid [12:49] 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) [12:49] Hi, after uninstalling nautilus, how can I set emelfm2 as the default file manager? [12:49] ziroday: In addition I can ping the vista station... yes [12:49] !uuid [12:50] ubotu !uuid [12:50] >.>;; [12:50] Krastyo: okay, in nautilus addressbar does smb:// show anything? [12:50] * neverfail Zoneminder sucks [12:50] IHS_Intern: thats because linux kernel dosent guarantee that /dev/ stuff stays points allwasy to same place [12:50] ziroday: Vista is configured to be visible in network, with no password for accessing the shares... share is set to "read" user: "everyone" ... it is possible y other machines [12:51] I used Acronis to back it up, using the command ubotu gave me yesterday to check the UUIDs the root partition had a UUID, swap didn't. [12:51] ziroday: it gives an err msg: "„smb:///“ cannot be displayed/showed" (or similiar) [12:52] Krastyo: err you are just doing ' smb:// ' correct? [12:52] Krastyo: try going to Places > Connect to Server [12:53] ziroday: I go to address bar and type: "smb://" - without the quotes and it gives me the msg with 3 lines though [12:53] Krastyo: okay, please try above [12:54] tem br aqui [12:54] 大家的pulseaudio 什么状态？ [12:55] hey Orgazmo welcome to the work of unix/linux :P [12:55] !cn [12:55] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [12:55] world:P [12:56] * Orgazmo pokes Dam0 [12:56] hey [12:56] sup [12:56] so ask away [12:56] LOL [12:56] how can i change cd iso image to usb image,and install ubuntu with a usb [12:56] !usb | heathcliff [12:56] heathcliff: 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 [12:56] heathcliff: you can burn the cd image to a disk, and then create a USB disk with that [12:56] heathcliff: dd [12:57] This is one of the few machines where the UUID is in place for the swap partition. I have 50-60 machines, maybe 10 kept the UUID after Acronis restored the image. Basically any that needed the image shrank lost it, and I picked the wrong machine to make the image on, so most lost it. So, any easy way to make a new UUID for swap which has thus far been on sda5 for every machine, and then replace the old UUID with t [12:57] heathcliff: or do as ubottu said :) [12:57] he new one? I'm mostly after "easy" for this ancient Dell GX150's with their 600mhz p3s and 256MB of RAM.

I have decided that everything we will collabrate will be under a specific directory.

Assumption should be it is on /dev/sda5, and that there is no UUID. fstab has a UUID for a swap partition that doesn't exist, this should be removed/replaced/fixed in favor of the new one. [13:02] disappearedng: then put it on another partition?

Just use a normal ftp client, like filezilla and configure it to use an sftp connection. Its not hard. [14:20] lenswipe: /var/log/auth.log, to be precise.

[16:21] I succeded install my printer with ppd but when i try to print it said "/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed" [16:22] anyone know what my native wireless broadcom driver is for my dell mini 9 netbook and how to install it. it came with ubuntu all set up and working but during a failed update, the wireless connection was lost. sudo iwconfig says no wireless extensions [16:22] lazerfingers, hg is mercurial [16:22] coz_: from 2000, 256 megs ram, works OK for web browsing [16:22] could anyone who speaks german pm me [16:22] pls [16:22] the_count_88, ndiswrapper. [16:22] !de > dryliketoast [16:22] dryliketoast, please see my private message [16:22] copy it from windows. [16:22] @ranf thanks, I think I need to do some more reading before I go the compiling my own software route [16:22] jonaskoelker, mm it could possibly run 9.04 do you have access to another system to b urn a new cd? [16:23] thats not the native driver that it came with tho, the netbook came with ubuntu on it [16:23] a broadcom [16:24] !compiz [16:24] Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [16:24] coz_: I've asked if he has another cd burner, but he doesn't answer [16:24] coz_: I take it as a no [16:24] jonaskoelker, open a terminal sudo apt-get install gnomebaker see if it's in the repo [16:24] when booting up the screen shows the GRUB loading, then the splash screen shows then after that it stops responding, i tried to remove the gdm and re install it, i removed the xserver and re installed it, i removed compiz, i even used recovery mode but still no success, is there a way to use the live cd to repair, like windows has? [16:24] coz_: apt-get install doesn't work [16:24] coz_: but there's cdrecord [16:24] jonaskoelker, ok system/administration/ synaptic pacakge manager? [16:25] jonaskoelker, oh cdrecord mm let me check on that [16:25] How can I start Compiz instead of metacity when Ubuntu starts up? #compiz is idle. [16:25] coz_: I wouldn't get my hopes up [16:25] coz_: jonaskoelker: the package repositories for warty have long been off-line. [16:25] Never mind [16:26] sipior, I assumed that but no harm in trying :) [16:27] !webmin [16:27] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [16:28] ugh... is there a way to download directories using SSH? [16:28] jonaskoelker, try here http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl1_cdrecor.htm [16:28] juiceman5000: tar + rsync. [16:28] or do I absolutely have to tar.gz the dir? [16:28] juiceman5000, "-r" for recursive in scp [16:29] Hi, how do I set my ubuntu server's date and time to GTM? (command line) [16:29] coz_: that explains too much :( [16:29] jonaskoelker, too much? [16:30] coz_: well, too much text, not "copy-paste this command line to copy a .iso file to a blank CD: [...]" [16:30] Pici: little help ! i couldn't access from filezilla from my friends house connection times out any idea whats wrong ? [16:30] neo-i, not really sure but the file /etc/timezone probably has something to do with it. good luck. [16:30] ?? [16:30] jonaskoelker: try grabbing cdrecord here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/warty/i386/cdrecord/4:2.0+a30.pre1-1ubuntu2 [16:30] jonaskoelker: you don't learn by copy/paste :P [16:30] neo-i, 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata' [16:30] tv7497: Are you forwarding port 22 from your router (or whatever) to your server? [16:30] sipior: it's already installed [16:31] jonaskoelker, well to copy paste any text in linux you simply highlight the text and middle click inside the terminal unless you mean it doesnt have copy paste commands already in a string [16:31] jefinc: yes I do. I learn which command I have to put in "burn-cd.sh" to burn a CD [16:31] Pici: just a min i will check that out [16:31] jefinc: incidentally, that is exactly what I wish to learn [16:31] jonaskoelker: ah, lucky you [16:31] coz_: thanks (I know how copy-paste works) :) [16:31] jonaskoelker, no offense meant:) [16:31] brandonban6, that sets the server to GMT ?? [16:31] jonaskoelker, actually there are two clipboard... :) [16:32] +s [16:32] coz_: none taken [16:32] coz_: just so we're on the level... [16:32] :) [16:32] #ubuntu [16:32] Kalmi: yes, and autocutsel can merge them :) [16:32] #ubuntu-fi [16:32] Pici: exactly !!!!!!! i port forwarded it to my router !!! you are a genius ! [16:32] brandonban6, oh I see what that is [16:32] santtu: /join #channel [16:32] So here's a question; I recently switched to Ubuntu from Windows, and so far, it's been awesome, but my sound card does not want to play nicely. What is the best sound card build/model IYO for linux boxes [16:32] !sound | juiceman5000 [16:32] juiceman5000: 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 [16:32] how to get NeroLinux on Ubuntu? [16:33] heh heh, I have a very stupid question, heh heh, is it possible to burn a Ububtu CD-ROM without CD-burner XD [16:33] neo-i, did that answer your question, or did I perhaps misunderstand? [16:33] brandonban6, do I set it to London? is that always GMT? [16:33] juiceman5000, whoa that is a difficult question sound blasters seems to work out of the box and if you are having issues go to #alsa channel they may be able to help with that particular card [16:33] IamSOG: i suppose you could try wishing really hard or something. [16:33] If I configure a KVM guest with the ethernet device of the guest in bridge mode and configure the guest's ethernet interface to be on the same subnet as the host -- and I want to route between the host and the guest -- is there some configuration option to automagically add the host route to the bridge device from the host os instance? [16:33] brandonban6, probably. But I want to set it to GMT forever, that nomatter what it won't change with day light saving [16:33] jonaskoelker, thanks, I didn't know that... but I actually like having two clipboards :) [16:33] lol, that is true sipior :o [16:34] brandonban6, or is there a way to turn day light saving off after setting the date anyway? [16:34] hi guys [16:34] coz_: i need an upgrade anywho, so i'm really just looking for a model that won't give me too much grief [16:34] Kalmi: to each his own. I like copy-pasting from firefox to xterm without touching the mouse :) [16:34] neo-i, yes, set it to the closest city in your region. I am not sure about the daylight savings stuff, that is an interesting question. [16:34] IamSOG: you can make a bootable usb stick, which is more or less the same thing, and does not require a cd burner. [16:34] jonaskoelker, I like you [16:34] so soundblaster it is; seems like the obvious safe choice [16:34] Pici: and one more ! it pops up like this http://122.167.107.50 [16:34] does anyone already configured LDAP on hardy ? [16:34] Kalmi: thanks :D likewise [16:34] brandonban6, ok, I'll ask saint google [16:34] can anyone point me directions [16:35] juiceman5000, is generally is but I would still go to #alsa they may be able to get the card you have up and running [16:35] * jonaskoelker points obione towards north, south, east and west [16:35] tv7497: Thats fine. [16:35] some tutorial/page [16:35] obione: sorry ;) [16:35] Pici: thanks ! [16:35] coz_: kk, thanx! [16:35] !ldap | obione [16:35] obione: LDAP is the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol.

But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [16:36] how can I downgrade my Python to 2.5? my trac server has stopped working on the upgrade to 9.04 [16:36] tv7497: Anything you want. [16:36] brandonban6, no.

I recently installed MATLAB but I don't think I put it on the right directory [17:16] I still need to figure out PXE boot, might make my life even more simple than putting the HD image on a FTP server, rather than a slow USB 1.1 drive..well, 7 USB 1.1 drives(2GB and up) [17:16] kudmipz: if your cpu is capable, go for 64bit unless you have a reason not to [17:16] kudmipz: well, go for 32 , if you had 5 , 6 ,7 GIG I would say 64 [17:16] Wvdial I need some help to configure\ [17:16] I installed it in ~/.matlab because I was really lost as where to put it [17:16] woah i just heard to conflicting opinions =) [17:16] IHS_Intern: its very simple [17:16] hello [17:16] *two,even [17:16] where should I put software I install? [17:17] gdanko: can I make a bootable net-install usb image? [17:17] kudmipz: if you do not need any special programs that run under 32bit only you should use 64bit [17:17] how to use the irc I am a freshman [17:17] IHS_Intern: you should be able to follow this http://www.howtoforge.com/setting-up-a-pxe-install-server-for-multiple-linux-distributions-on-debian-lenny [17:17] how can help me ? [17:17] csnake: generally you should install things under /usr/local, or /opt/local. [17:17] need some help with wvdial [17:17] not: try asking a support question [17:17] not? [17:17] qu9: is x64 capable of running 32-bit software like in windows? [17:17] bonjour tout le monde [17:17] !fr | frenz_ [17:17] frenz_: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [17:17] ah? [17:17] not that's easy [17:17] not you write [17:17] What goes in usr and what goes in opt? [17:17] others answer [17:17] j'ai un probleme avec vuze si quelqun peut m'aider [17:18] usr is unit system resources [17:18] frenz_: /join #ubuntu-fr [17:18] kudmipz:yes [17:18] frenz_ parle anglais [17:18] csnake: /usr/local will be just fine for you :-) [17:18] mygod! [17:18] !fr|frenz_ [17:18] qu9, ok let say i installed samba (which is what i did) then how can a pc access files into that linux-sharining-a-hdd without having to install software on that pc ? [17:18] my english is pool [17:18] kudmipz, for a new user i'd recommend going with the 32bit version (less hoops to jump through to get some stuff working) - yes there is backwards 32bit compatibility under 64bit but it is sometimes non-trivial (if you do go the 64bit route - getlibs will be your friend) [17:18] not: there are channels for other languages [17:18] I'm having problems configuring my Tomcat installation to use SunJDK. I receive errors upon restarting the service once I specify the SunJDK in a Tomcat config file. [17:18] where? [17:18] chinese? [17:18] !cn | not [17:18] not: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [17:19] So in a folder like /usr/local/.matlab ? [17:19] aranyik, net use x: \\linuxpcname\linuxshare /user=linuxdomain\linuxshare password [17:19] aranyik: normally any windows pc should be able to access windows-shares (which are provided by samba) [17:19] ZykoticK9: just to be clear though, 32-bit ubuntu can address 4 gigs of RAM? [17:19] I am trying to get my modem to dial need help with wvdial [17:19] Hi all. Is it possible to dd an iso file onto a hard drive partition and boot from it? [17:19] thank you! [17:19] aranyik: the only problem could be to access it via the internet [17:19] I know this is a bit off topic but i was wondering is there a good alternative to F-Spot, Digikam, and Picasa? [17:19] bye! [17:19] csnake: without the dot, though. but yeah, /usr/local/matlab would be reasonable. [17:19] aranyik: you could install an windows-compatible-vpn-server on the linux machine [17:19] kudmipz, i think it's actually under 4G on the Desktop version (there is some hack on Server to address more memory) - if memory is your main concern go 64bit [17:20] Do you think I'd run into any trouble if I move the whole directory over there without reinstalling? [17:20] aranyik, like openvpn [17:20] hello [17:20] hi [17:20] moin ben === ben is now known as Guest42500 [17:20] aranyik: no for openvpn you would need extra software on the windows machine [17:20] i need help with Wine [17:20] genii can you help me out with wvdial [17:20] ZykoticK9: okay. I paid for the memory so I guess i'll be going the x64 route... what's this getlibs thing you mentioned earlier? [17:20] this is still ben btw === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [17:20] aranyik: it's not as safe as openvpn but an PPTP server (or something similar) should work [17:21] kudmipz, you could also pae [17:21] csnake: probably not. but be sure that the executables (or links to the executables) exist in /usr/local/bin (or add the appropriate bin directory to your path, whichever is most convenient for you). [17:21] eMaX: huh? [17:21] qu9, or SFTP ? [17:21] kudmipz, it greatly aids in getting 32bit apps working on 64bit ubuntu [17:21] physical address exension [17:21] you can use 4 gb and more on 32 bit [17:21] with some limitations [17:21] There is some sort of executable... a bash script? I'm new to that [17:21] eMaX: any drawbacks? [17:21] is that what I should put in /usr/local/bin ? [17:22] hello is there someone who can help me figure out how to fix my problems with ssh? [17:22] Xcell: ping [17:22] ZykoticK9: right, but what exactly is it? [17:22] with pae, there is a 4gb memory limit per process [17:22] but these says, its not such a big deal to just go 64 bit [17:22] Just programs can still use only 4GB...but if you have 4GB, not a big deal of them only being able to use 4GB :D [17:22] aranyik: this should work too - just install an ftp server an open an port in your router using port forwarding [17:22] !ask|ironfoot [17:22] kudmipz, not that i know of [17:22] ironfoot: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [17:22] right [17:22] why doesn't my desktop expand to past desk 1? on desk 2-4 i have not top panel and no desktop items [17:22] eMaX: I'll look into it. thanks a bunch [17:22] kkkkk [17:22] csnake: probably just easiest to run the installer and tell it to stick everything in /usr/local. [17:22] hi [17:22] Iǘe google a many ssh advisory but none seem to be helping me. [17:22] Can someone help me with wvdial please? [17:23] qu9, can ftp.exe builtin windows can access a sftp? [17:23] How do I renew the IP of a computer? (I want it to ask the dhcp server a new IP adress)? [17:23] may I ask to ask to ask to ask to ask a question about asking to ask to ask a question? [17:23] kudmipz, the 4gb per process won't normally hit you, even if you use vmware server - but yet, why not go 64 bit using jaunty [17:23] I really need help with this!!! [17:23] Thank you! [17:23] ironfoot_495, what's up [17:23] can i load ubuntu so i dont have to enter a username and password? [17:23] if so how? [17:23] aranyik: mhm i don't think so you need a daemon like proftpd [17:24] nightdrever, what would that help with [17:24] joker_, "sudo dhclient eth0" for example [17:24] aranyik: oh sorry [17:24] I really need help with wvdial please ??? [17:24] ZykoticK9: thats it? [17:24] qu9, i cannot install anything on the windows pc [17:24] nightdrever, Yeah, there's an auto logon, but you still need to enter a password for some things, like updates [17:24] so loads straight away i dont have to enter them [17:24] mooch, what's up [17:24] nightdrever: you can check out the autologin feature under gdmconfig [17:24] eMaX: I´ve tried very hard to get ssh to work on my desktop and my server but I just can´t it to work [17:24] ironfoot_495, more details [17:24] aranyik: i did not see that you mean windows' ftp - this will work but i think without ssl [17:24] where will i find gdmcongig? [17:25] I'm SSH'd into 2 different servers right now, one on the LAN, one elsewhere :D [17:25] #ubuntu-fi [17:25] aranyik: maybe the internet explorer could handle sftp [17:25] IHS_Intern, that's because you're a professional geek [17:25] eMax I pasted my ISP info to the root file system but the terminal says I have no username or password [17:25] hi, how do I enable autostart of sendmail? [17:25] nightdrever: gdmsetup, sorry [17:25] or isp number [17:25] qu9, i will be downloading and uploading confidential documents [17:25] you paste what where? [17:25] ZykoticK9: ... yup, thats it... it was too simple for me to figure out. Thanks ;) [17:26] I´ve used the ssh-keygen -t rsa and put them on both opposite machine then I try to ssh into each one but I get permissions denied. [17:26] aranyik: then even pptp is more secure than unsecured-ftp [17:26] Manpages do underline some terms and print bold other terms. See for example 'man iwconfig'. What does underlining mean? [17:26] aranyik, i don't think there is anything native in windows to handle ssh/scp - you'll need some sort of 3rd party app [17:26] ironfoot_495, do passwords work? [17:26] no [17:26] Hi all, any body to help please ??? I was in ubuntu 8.10 and now I upgraded to 9.04, the problem is I cannot acces with phpmyadmin to my databases [17:26] did you check out the daemon.log? [17:26] aranyik: maybe you have access to an sftp-server? you could try to establish a connection via IE using sftp://... but i don't think that this will work [17:26] qu9, ZykoticK9 what about samba over the internet? [17:26] how can i save the stream in http://mediapolis.rai.it/relinker/relinkerServlet.htm?cont=BpeQSn0xfkgeeqqEEqual [17:26] I pssted my Internet provider info from gedit to the root file system and mhy modem almost dialed my the configuration did not find my ISP info [17:27] mplayer does not work [17:27] T-F-K, does a simple mysql -uroot -prootpw work? [17:27] i can see it will vlc ... [17:27] aranyik: yep, but only using a vpn [17:27] aranyik: otherwise it is not encrypted too [17:27] mooch, I do not understand pasting to root fs [17:27] aranyik, use vpn [17:27] aranyik, sambe was NOT intended to be used over the internet (might be possible, but probably not a good idea) [17:27] sheldor str recorder for winblowz in wine [17:27] really do dig into that [17:27] copy over [17:28] aranyik: take a look at openvpn maybe there's a client which does not need to be installed [17:28] aranyik, samba is possible via any tcp network including internet [17:28] eMax, it works, actually my web applications work properelly [17:28] I created a ISP profile using wvdial.conf its created but the root file system did not have a record of it [17:28] qu9, interesting! [17:28] What's the bash command for copy? Something like mv but that also keeps what I'm moving in the folder I'm at [17:28] cp [17:29] Thanks! === poningru_ is now known as poningru [17:29] no one has any input on my iso problem? haha [17:29] raw [17:29] eMax so I copied it then pasted to the root file system then I did sudo wvdial but the configuration could not find the file [17:29] timo1teo: I don't see that you've even asked a question. [17:29] eMaX, qu9, ZykoticK9, So vpn would be the safest of all, and i maybe i could find a client which does not need to be installed [17:29] right? [17:30] guys, I have some problem with 9.04... it frequently seepds up video-audio playback by itself effectively killing some programs by it [17:30] aranyik, stand by [17:30] speeds* [17:30] aranyik, vpn is kinda overkill if all you want to do is copy files - look into WinScp or something first would be my suggestion [17:30] hey all [17:30] .... I hate the IDE controller/drives that come with these GX150s, I really do. [17:30] what can it be? [17:30] aranyik, check this out http://www.thebakershome.net/?q=node/56 [17:31] * BeatlesFan waiting for the new Geforce 7600GS to arrive... [17:31] aranyik, that's an excellent description about how to set up openvpn [17:31] eMaz did you understand my post? [17:31] works (I've tested that) [17:31] eMax [17:31] mooch, one sec [17:31] ors [17:31] ok [17:31] look [17:31] I've a directory /etc/ppp [17:31] ok [17:31] in there are files like chap-secrets, pap-secrets and, particularly a directory peers [17:32] within I've things like myisp [17:32] yes [17:32] now myisp has content like [17:32] eMaX, oh thanks! [17:32] oh, I think I may have timed out, lemme copy and paste that: o I'm trying to make an bootable ISO image from the current system i have installed on this computer. I originally tried using debian but it has been suggested that ubuntu would make this process a lot easier. I have been looking into using bootcd, are there any other packages i should be using? (or any other suggestions?) More: The machine im using is exactly the same model [17:32] !enter [17:32] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [17:32] aranyik, careful those openvpn instructions from eMaX link are very old - will probably break network manager if you follow them. good luck. [17:32] ZykoticK9, overkill but what other way i could use?? [17:32] BeatlesFan, still on AGP? I quite recently moved away from it, myself. [17:33] /dev/umts [17:33] IHS_Intern: yeah, AGP for now... [17:33] hi all, I can access but not properly [17:33] aranyik, ssh on the server, winscp on the client??? [17:33] aranyik, they do work [17:33] aranyik, and I don't use networkmanager, I use wicd [17:33] IHS_Intern: at least it's better than my onboard Intel graphics [17:33] IHS_Intern: hopefully I won't have issues installing the card [17:33] this is the user he accept: �L�� [17:33] IHS_Intern: I'm new to Ubuntu [17:33] eMax:my other pc is in another room brb [17:33] how can I SOC proxy a CLI session? [17:33] and there is no databases in [17:34] ZykoticK9, does winscp need to be installed? [17:34] aranyik: i think winscp could be worth a try... maybe you get it working without installing: http://winscp.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6096 [17:34] The problem with moving away from AGP, or anything, when on a tight budget.. is you have to buy all the parts separate... I went 3 months on a VIA Chrome 9 Dx [17:34] aranyik, yup === root is now known as Jake__ [17:34] mooch, sorry wasnt listening [17:34] mooch, which other pc [17:34] boolean: around yet? [17:34] timo1teo: You may want to use something like remastersys. Its not in the repos, but a quick google search should find it. [17:34] ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ [17:34] IHS_Intern: I don't have PCI-e in this MB.. so I'd have to upgrade that first === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq === Pooky_ is now known as Pooky [17:34] Dam0: please don't [17:34] IHS_Intern: I have 3 PCI slots, one AGP 8x slot [17:35] Pici>: sorry it was a amsg to say goodnight [17:35] nobody has any idea ??? [17:35] so any ideas on why my top panel would disappear on desk2-4? [17:35] T-F-K: I'm sorry but I don't think we understood your question. [17:36] hi, i have a packages problem with libgoogle-perftools-dev depending on libgoogle-perftools0, which does not have a sufficiently high version (0.8 < 0.98) [17:36] Ok [17:36] i will try better [17:36] bbl === ttilberg|away is now known as ttilberg [17:36] T-F-K: Please ask it all one one line too, don't press enter between every 5 words. [17:36] BeatlesFan, Nvidia has good linux support, and ubuntu automates things... Not sure where the recent removal of old chips support cuts off, though. I'd think 5 and up would be fine., BeatlesFan I had no AGP slot, 3 PCI slots, and DDR RAM. So I got a new motherboard, then a CPU, then a Gig of RAM, one at a time....eventually got a real nice system, but that Via Chrome 9 was horrible until I got the new videocard, wh [17:36] ich Ubuntu 8.04-8.10 wouldn't boot on... [17:37] qu9, ZykoticK9 ok thanks i think it gonna work with winscp without installation [17:37] this is ubuntu jaunty (with the google perf tools problem) [17:37] IHS_Intern: sounds like what I'm doing.. one component at a time [17:37] is there a quick fix (besides building it myself)? [17:37] eMax I was saying my other pc with Ubuntu I was writing down the problem I had with wvdial [17:37] IHS_Intern: great buys on Ebay for a lot of this stuff [17:37] heh: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/google-perftools/+bug/359736 [17:37] mooch, I don't care where your PC's are actually :) [17:38] BeatlesFan, an AGP video card isn't a good choice for that 1 component at a time, because you can't take it with you to the new motherboard. [17:38] but in the peers dir you get to have files like myisp and then you can use them to connect [17:38] there are excellent (!) howtos on the net about that [17:38] IHS_Intern: right, but by then everything I have will be antique and I'll start again [17:38] so absolutely there is no such thing like posting stuff in the root filesystem [17:39] eMax but I am very close to getting my modem to work really close [17:39] I am doing something wrong [17:39] IHS_Intern: last night I figured out how to move my /home dir to another partition... [17:39] mooch, thats always the case that you're close [17:39] IHS_Intern: and installed a new 250GB hard drive [17:39] I'm a PHP developper, and I was working on ubuntu 8.10, today I've migrate to 9.04, all is working fine, but PhpMyAdmin, I can't access with the rout user, the don't know the password (but there's no password), my PHP applications work fine I can get my data from databases with php script, and this is the user accepted by phpmyadmin: �L�� [17:40] blackberry>Ubuntu: anyone know of any info 'out there' on this subject? === janne is now known as Skiessi [17:40] mooch, I've not enough info so I cannot help, but I do know that you can find that info on the net [17:40] BeatlesFan, nah, PCI-E isn't going anywhere for a while, perhaps the motherboard and socket it's on will drop from it's current "high end" unless you go AMD, which is still behind intel's high end. I went for the middle, which will stay supported for a nice long while. [17:40] bfn [17:40] Hello, I'm using the S-Video out port on my nvidia FX5200 with propitary drivers. Connected to my TV. The image is black and white. [17:40] IHS_Intern: right [17:41] T-F-K, I cant help but if no one here can you might try #linux channel [17:41] T-F-K, although this is an upgrade issue and not surprising === root is now known as Jake__ [17:41] I copied a wvdial.conf from gedit to root and when I did that my modem initialized and before that I my modem woudln't even do that [17:41] I suspect this is becouse it outputs NTCS and the TV is PAL. But I can't find anywhere where I can change this........ [17:41] "Previous attempts at booting this system have failed at checkpoint [Oops] um...wth, dell? [17:42] coz_, ok thanks, I will wait if somone can help, and making web research in the same time [17:42] My system sound stopped working, but popping the liveCD back in confirms the hardware is still fine, so where might I look to diagnose what configuration or other might differ that its not working installed? [17:42] pleeeeeeeeeeeease help meeeeee [17:42] eMAX: Iḿ sorry I was interupted I have a 8.10 desktop and a 9.04 server I know that I must have destroyed something , so now I need a way to get things back on track. [17:42] T-F-K, good plan:) [17:42] thanks [17:42] Pici: Thanks, this program looks promising :) [17:42] if i could do something that would invoke some errors, rather than silently pretend to play sound while actually failing, that would be even better! [17:42] anyone familiar with VPNC and remote desktop? [17:43] or anyone for that matter? === andi is now known as Guest6249 [17:43] here's a better question how do I remove multiple wvdial.conf files [17:43] 8-) [17:43] Hey, why does pppd not execute ip-down when you unplug a USB 3g modem? [17:43] does anyone know of problems running ubuntu on mini/nano/picoITX motherboards? [17:44] hmm, anyone here avaliable to help me configure my xorg server etc? (provide ssh details) [17:44] i'm just getting sick of it now, i've tried everything. [17:44] and it's just destroying more and more [17:44] CooPs, PAL/NTSC can be set in Xorg.conf - see http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/suse-linux-help/43764-nvidia-tv-out-config.html for an example. Good luck. [17:44] ironfoot_495, why do you not do a clean install and just migrate what you adapted? I typically keep my modificatoins in directory strucutres like /cfg/v904/etc/hosts and then ln -s /cfg/v904 /cfg/cur and ln -s /cfg/cur/etc/hosts /etc/hosts [17:45] Is anyone either using dial up or has used dial up before? [17:45] My mic is working fine. But when i go to skype i cant get it to work? [17:45] Any suggestions on why? [17:45] And how i could fix this :x [17:45] eMaX: Yeah! I guess I´m just subbourne!! [17:46] stuburne [17:46] ironfoot_495: stubborn [17:46] ironfoot_495, just redo [17:46] yeah! Pici thanx [17:46] IHS_Intern: do you think it's worth it to try to sell my old 40GB hard drive or just chuck it? [17:46] ok eMAX: [17:47] Anyone? [17:47] 40GB is still usable. I'd buy one, if I needed an old IDE drive [17:47] so [17:47] ? [17:48] If anyone has used dial up and can help me with my modem I would really appreciate it [17:48] coz_, sorry to disturb, I found that I have to edit this file config.inc.php, but this solution was for windows, do anybody know where this file is in ubuntu ? [17:48] hello！ [17:48] T-F-K, let me check [17:48] coz_, ok thanks in advance [17:49] “away” how to use? [17:49] who can [17:49] ....bloody...1 machine has had the IDE controller crap out, another's graphics isn't working.. same model and parts, these things...ugh [17:49] I've got a question regarding installation of MySQL on 9.10 - I'm trying to setup a server, however, when I get to the password set, it gives me an error that no password was supplied. Command is 'mysql -u root', output is 'Access denied for user 'root' (using password: NO) - I haven't setup a password, though. [17:49] T-F-K, I believe it is located in /etc/phpmyadmin/ [17:50] T-F-K, you could try "find / -name config.inc.php 2>/dev/null" if it's not in /etc/phpmyadmin [17:50] coz are you familiar with dial up in any way [17:50] mooch, no I am not sorry what is the issue? [17:50] this commande gives me 4 files [17:50] wvdial at the moment [17:50] a bit off topic, but: [17:51] If I want to do an SVN checkout but I don't want to tie the checkout to a specific user (IE: svn+ssh://user@hostname:/blah) what's the best way to do it? Mount as NFS and then use file:///? Or run an svn daemon? [17:51] and one of them is in /etc/phpmyadmin [17:51] mooch, have you looked here ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/SetUpDialer [17:51] System not starting X, after a reboot, failed to auto fsck, and is now throwing error after error in maintenance mode when trying to fsck :/ [17:52] ironfoot_495, you were going to say something? [17:52] T-F-K, just guessing . iwould go with the one in phpmyadmin [17:52] coz yeah my issue involves something with the wvdial.conf files but let me check again [17:52] brb, going to try to track down some more HDs and hope they work, [17:52] can someone point me at the list of default packages shipped on a standard desktop jauny cd? [17:53] coz_, I was in, but I didn't fin the config that I have to change, it this line $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPasswordRoot'] = true [17:53] whats a good irc client for ubuntu [17:53] whats the command to show the ownership of a specific folder? and whats the command to change that? [17:53] T-F-K, ok I am lost at this point did you try in #linux at all? [17:53] My X server is having some sort of configuration error. when I try to start up, it brings up a terminal like screen asking me to login, then tries to load ubuntu then it shows a weird screen with random colors and it does not get passed that. is there a way to fix it? [17:53] kvirc or xchat wont compile [17:53] is it possible to remotely close X session? This would be nice for an internet café application.

Anything I type gives me a password error. [17:54] Jake__, use the sudo command if possible [17:54] thanks guys [17:55] will do eMax I should have read more about 8.10 I did not know the network box dial out was not included in this version ouch! [17:55] jakejake, you can either sudo gnome-terminal or create a root account [17:55] ZykoticK9: u mean dksudo nautilus thing?? [17:55] Ark [17:55] jakejake, i think there is a "open root terminal" in the menus [17:55] Wrong server [17:55] :< [17:55] Jake, proceed every command with sudo [17:55] jakejake: that would be "gksudo" [17:55] ok [17:55] join #smuxi [17:55] !gksudo | jakejake [17:55] jakejake: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [17:56] boolean: give me a pm when you're back if you don't mind ;) [17:56] thanks [17:56] Jake__, actually running a shell or gui file manager as root is frowned upon by the Ubuntu admins thus they use sudo to temporarily run as root - it's a safety thing really [17:56] Why is it that firefox seems to use the "uk" version of English for spell checking? It says that "color" is misspelled. [17:56] Argh [17:56] what is the best irc client for ubuntu [17:57] evening [17:57] savid: meh.. why should it default to the us [17:57] Why is EpserNet not listed in XChat :< [17:57] how to give permission to all user to use raw1394. i tried to add /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules something like but it's not working KERNEL=="raw1394[0-9]*", NAME="raw1394/%n", GROUP="audio", MODE="0666" [17:57] question: I have clamav and freshclam installed since 2 years (and almost forgot). I can see log files in /var/log. Does anyone know what/how "virus notice/warning" is shown? I never saw such. [17:57] is the terminal file stored in the file system somewhere? [17:57] Paddy_EIRE, If my locale is en_us, I expect it to use the same :-) [17:57] savid: of course [17:57] sec [17:58] * mmm4m5m no viruses found... maybe it is not working properly :) [17:58] Shaun_, there is no "best" application - it's what YOU find "best". xchat works fine for me, but others will disagree :) good luck. === EtonixP is now known as Etonix [17:58] coz one problem I do not have the networking box for dial up so the link is helpful but the option to go to networking is not included in this version [17:58] anyone know of nay issues of installing 9.10 with a asus m2nse mobo? [17:58] My X server is having some sort of configuration error. when I try to start up, it brings up a terminal like screen asking me to login, then tries to load ubuntu then it shows a weird screen with random colors and it does not get passed that. is there a way to fix it? [17:58] i have new information about my sound problem: both of my sound devices are device 0 [17:58] hi [17:58] mooch, don't know what you mean by network box dial out but anyway if you want your other box as router, google for nat [17:58] im guessing that isn't something that should be? [17:58] I use IRSSI a lot, right now on xchat [17:58] err 9.04 i men [17:59] Where can I download the Ubuntu source? [17:59] EtonixP: Have you tried to reset the password? Info on that here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.4/en/resetting-permissions.html [17:59] eMax the network box was a modem dialer to dial out it made a little bit easier [17:59] kottizen, try www.ubuntu.com [18:00] aranyik, openvpn is extremely stable [18:00] savid: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:3 [18:00] Oke. [18:00] could somebody help me load ssh, step by step? n00b here [18:00] anyone good with hard drive problems here? take a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1172343 and tell me what u make of it.. [18:00] But why is using a dial up modem such a problem with 8.10 [18:00] Florimond, sudo apt-get install ssh [18:00] And one more question, I have a HTC phone with Winshit, can I remove it and install some Ubuntu mobile distro? [18:00] Paddy_EIRE, seems odd that I'd have to get an add-on for firefox to correctly interpret my locale :-p [18:00] savid: yeah I guess so [18:01] Florimond: you want to connect other pcs with ssh or you want a ssh-server on your machine? [18:01] It almost seems that 8.10 was strictly made for broadband [18:01] mooch: because 1993 came and took all the dial-up modems back to their home planet [18:01] if you have windows xp and ubuntu 9.04 as a dual boot ,and then add kubuntu as a wubi install ; will all 3 show up in grub? [18:01] gordonjcp: lol [18:01] My nvidia FX5200 give a black and white TV-Out output. How do I fix this? Please help. Been going at this for weeks. Using ubuntu 9.02 [18:02] rob0917, I dont think so but then I have never tried wubi [18:02] eMax: it starts working the I get a long list of errors. We tried last night for a couple of hours but no joy [18:02] cox,thanks [18:02] there was a 9.02 released? I was not aware there was anything other than 9.04 and the 9.10 alpha in the 9 series >.> [18:02] CooPs89: how is it connected to the TV? [18:02] personally I hate dial up but I don't have the luxury for broadband nor the option for broadband [18:02] mooch: does anyone even supply dial-up any more? [18:03] rob0917, as i understand it...wubi is run from within windows so it is essentially an application in windows [18:03] CooPs89, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=432958 [18:03] gordonjcp: I have connected it with a 4 pin tv out connector, that goes into a scart connector into the TV. [18:03] netzero is trying to get people to switch to their Dial-Up service -from- broadband because it isn't as expensive, lol, wut? [18:03] I live in rural area I can't get dsl or cable [18:03] CooPs89: okay, that's S-video and that supplies Y and C separately [18:03] CooPs89: is your TV configured for S-video input? [18:03] CooPs89: I had that problem a few times. Once, it turned out to be a defective cable and an other time I had to set it (in the config) to use s-video out instead of rca (or whatever is the other option), even if it was in fact that option... [18:03] mooch, ooo thats got to be a pain [18:04] Iceroot: Just want to be able to communicate with 1 other ubuntu machine and 2 window pc's [18:04] mooch, did that link give any help to the problem? [18:04] well satellite is a option [18:04] Florimond: ssh user@ip [18:04] satellite can be expensive and not very fast [18:04] rob0917, imho only windows and ubuntu will show up in grub and if you select windows you will get 2 choices again... windows or kubuntu... but this it won't be grub... it will windows's eqvivalent of grub [18:04] Florimond: windows dont has ssh [18:04] coz the link does help I bookmarked it [18:04] gordonjcp: The tv has been plugged into laptops with that cable, and color worked fine. [18:04] mooch, sat. has -horrible- latency and is only moderately higher bandwidth [18:04] mooch, cool [18:04] CooPs89: I also read that a cable of an outstanding lenght OR lots of noise (read interference) could also cause that kind of problem. [18:04] mooch, you may want to just google with ubuntu dial up [18:04] that may solve my probelm [18:04] CooPs89: okay, next check that your TV out is using the right format [18:05] gordonjcp: okay, so I will cycle trough the PAL options in my xorg.conf === swiatOFF is now known as Swiatecki [18:05] kalmi,thanks ,thought I'd ask before I tried it [18:05] Iceroot. I can connect to this pc from the other unbun tu machine, but not the other way around.. want to share music aqnd videos between them [18:05] !dialup | mooch [18:05] mooch: You want to connect via dial-up?

[18:05] gordonjcp: One thing I don't get is why no nvidia options at all show up in the config file, it's completely blank, like it's been reset. [18:05] like movie makers, animation, etc,,, [18:05] gordonjcp: blank = just some default devices, no options [18:05] HS_Intern I know but thats my only option I am screwed [18:05] !ask | lucas_ [18:05] lucas_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [18:06] CooPs89: you're using a PAL TV, and you know that the cable and adaptor are correct? And also the card is producing S-video and not composite on one pin [18:06] xorg.conf? it doesn't do much anymore :/ [18:06] lo i need help [18:06] hello i need help [18:06] hello i need help [18:06] hello i need help [18:06] Kottizen: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:06] Kalmi thanx got the link earlier [18:06] Kottizen: way to not get any [18:06] CooPs89, this empty xorg.conf doesn't make sence to me either - i much prefered the old way [18:06] !helpme | Kottizen [18:06] Kottizen: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [18:07] gordonjcp, ZykoticK9: but does adding values to the conf file still change anything? or are the settings stored somewhere else? [18:07] not sure tbh [18:07] Kalmi: change | for > as the guy has been kick/banned [18:07] CooPs89, ? dunno [18:07] hello again [18:07] sorry for spam [18:07] but i need help [18:08] joker_, isn't he just not allowed to speak for a while? [18:08] !ask [18:08] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [18:08] Kottizen: and you needed to make that point by spamming the channel for almost two minutes? [18:08] yes [18:08] gordonjcp: But my TV output is composite then? [18:08] !troll | Kottizen [18:08] Kottizen: trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubotu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel [18:08] Kottizen: no, you didn't.

[18:08] okey sorry ubottu :( === jakejake is now known as jakop [18:08] mooch_If your modem is a winmodem ,then ubuntu doesn't have much support fot that.you may need to get an external modem.That's all I really know on the subject === jakop is now known as hyleape [18:08] LjL: :) [18:09] joker_, sorry.. my bad [18:09] Kalmi: no fault ;) [18:09] Kottizen, there's no ubuntu mobile distro afaik. You may look into whether or not android works on your platform -- not likely though [18:09] CooPs89, my xorg if full? with the Device sections and everything? so I'm sure that the settings must take effect [18:09] CooPs89: well, you could try switching the tv to composite [18:09] Florimond: ssh-server is installed on the other pc you want to access? [18:09] joker_: he didn't get kicked [18:09] Florimond: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [18:09] savid: okey, thanks (: [18:09] rob0917 I have drivers installed I just can't get it to dial but thats been a interest too [18:09] Florimond: then use sftp for sharing [18:09] savid: there is, it's calle dubuntu remix [18:09] !bot > Kottizen [18:09] Kottizen, please see my private message [18:09] ubottu: no === root is now known as Jake__ [18:09] Hvis du vil diskutere på Norsk, vennligst gå til #ubuntu-no. Takk! [18:09] CooPs89: one way to tell is if the image is black and white and has a weird crawly grain on it, that's composite being fed to an input for s-video [18:09] ok [18:10] !botabuse | Kottizen [18:10] Kottizen: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [18:10] can I edit the name of .desktop files freely without any system impact? [18:10] Kottizen, is this a phone or netbook?

[18:10] Fzang: probably not [18:10] LjL: didnt got kicked... damn I need glasses :/ [18:10] gordonjcp: All right, so should I be able to change the TV to accept a composite signal instead in the TV menu? It's kinda old. [18:10] Kottizen: discard what I've said, he didnt got kicked [18:10] Kottizen, ok then ubuntu remix is for netbooks. Your best bet is android, otherwise get an android phone :) [18:11] Fzang, it's my understandish that a .desktop file is similar to a windows shortcut? but i'm not sure what impact it might have. [18:11] :S [18:11] savid: okey, will try it, thanks :D [18:11] joker_: ? [18:11] CooPs89: depends on the TV but it's probably in there somewhere - either in the menus or if you keep cycling through the inputs [18:11] I'm just looking for a way to rename apps. surely it must be possible somehow [18:11] !list [18:11] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [18:11] Iceroot: I get the same install error messages again. I think I may have corrupted something [18:11] Kottizen: dunno, somehow I tought he got kicked, bu the didnt. you where right, I was wrong. :) [18:11] CooPs89: Japanese TVs tend to have you cycling through inputs to pick input mode, European TVs tend to stick it in the menu [18:11] think there will ever be a winbuntu or a ubindows ?lol [18:11] joker_: you are talking to the wrong person. [18:11] joker_: okey o.O :) [18:11] ? [18:12] help ? [18:12] gordonjcp: All right, will try to find this. And test with different PAL. [18:12] 2 more HDs tested, 2 ribbon cables. Do you think my IDE controller has said "no, u.?" [18:12] LjL, Kottizen: ok I'm gonna have a cofee. [18:12] still saying "unknown device"* [18:12] !lol | rob0917 [18:12] rob0917: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [18:12] CooPs89: are you in the UK or Europe? [18:13] CooPs89: ah, .se - so you should be using PAL 4.43 [18:13] my appologies ! I'll be careful [18:13] CooPs89: PAL I and PAL G refers to sound subcarrier, which you don't need to care about ;-) [18:13] CooPs89: Swedish?

[18:30] erUSUL, I edited it a few months ago, and it's worked until this morning [18:30] Thanks all of you, my problem was resolving by adding $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPasswordRoot'] = true; to config.inc.php file [18:30] IHS_Intern: ok i will try the beta in the next days (there is no broadband internet available here at the moment and so i want to try something else that does not require big downloads first... does anyone one have another idea what i could do?)

[18:34] matyk, in the terminal have you tried "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg" ? [18:34] CooPs89, set it to the same password as your login password.... (I'm not sure about this...)

[18:37] Jake__, is gdm running " sudo /etc/init.d/gdm status" ? [18:38] Jake__: DHCP Server Enable (checked) [18:39] erUSUL, i dont think that applies, i dont use reiserFS [18:39] my ip is 192.168.0.11 if I connect with a usb stick, or with a network cable with windows... so it should work [18:39] Its unpossible to unrar multiple file rar with fileroller on a share ?

[18:50] fsufitch, it shouldnt take more than a second... [18:50] fsufitch, you are on the live cd correct? [18:50] coz_, yes [18:50] fsufitch, if you're searching your whole system it can take a while... [18:50] fsufitch, and sudo grub was the first command [18:51] matyk, did it work with the livecd? [18:51] coz_, yes [18:51] So far.. I have 10/62 machines that have failed, I have 10-15 left to test. [18:51] Hi. I'm trying to set up my laptops wired network connection, but ubuntu doesn't seem to recognize my network card. My laptop is Sony Vaio vgn-z11xn/b.

[18:53] uuv, have you touched /etc/network/interfaces? [18:53] uuv: maybe it is listed in /etc/network/interfaces ?? NM ignores ifaces listed there [18:53] fsufitch, but grub does have autocomplete with the tab key which can make your life a lot easier [18:53] I haven't touched anything. I'm a big newbie to linux [18:53] Kalmi: startx says it [18:53] coz_, whenever i boot off the HD, i get grub error 16. mounting my FSs off a live CD works, and fsck doesnt sayanything wrong [18:53] ZykoticK9, it refuses to autocomplete anything :( [18:53] fsufitch, ok is this a dual boot?

[20:54] If I put "auto" on fstab it doesn't mount it, and I have to mount it by hand [20:54] cat /proc/mdstat [20:54] meh. sounds like you've got permissions problems on the samba?

I have a graphics corruption problem in the lower right hand side of the screen when using the accelerated drivers or from ATI's site. any ideas? [21:06] during the boot i got this message: special device /dev/md0 does not exist [21:06] cat /proc/mdstat [21:06] hey everyone :) i'm trying to get hebrew to work correctly under jaunty. The font is fine, the thing is when i want to use punctuation marks such as a comma while typing in hebrew it doesn't work. the comma button is shared with a hebrew letter and it uses that hebrew letter. in windows you press Caps Lock or hold shift in order to add a special character with hebrew, in ubuntu it doesn't work that way [21:06] gpled, funny thing - i can write to it with sudo rm/cp/etc in terminal but i think that by default it should be read/write [21:07] md0 : active raid1 sdb1[0] sdc1[1] [21:07] martin1231: sounds like it is mounting with restrictive permissions [21:07] It's fué°çn' crazy...isn't it? [21:07] i went over the forums, and they mention a setting under keyboard layout called Group shift/lock behaviour. this doesn't appear under layout, alot of options do, that specifically doesn't. any thoughts? [21:07] it sounds like your fstab is incorrect [21:08] martin1231, it's a permission problem! if you use sudo it means run as root - thus no problem [21:08] martin1231: if you plug it in, and type mount, can you see it? [21:09] thanks man! It's wrong md0 --> mda0 [21:09] ZykoticK9: that's not the solution to the problem [21:09] i was wondering guys, i just installed my nvidia drivers, but everytime i restart i have to reinstall them, but they function perfectly everytime i reinstall, and i always save the x config, it just never uses it after i restart, what gives? and i cant use the nv restricted drivers wither, then my secondary monitor doesnt work, and none of my opengl apps work then either [21:09] Malekar: what is it you want to do? you can probably achieve it with xmodmap [21:09] Malekar: though there's likely a cleaner solution [21:10] can I put back relatime,errors=remount-ro [21:10] ? [21:10] martin1231, raylu - SORRY i'm not advocating running as root, just change the permission on the drive [21:10] you can try it [21:10] lupine_85, thanks - I have R installed now... I don't suppose you are an expert, it does not seem self explanitory [21:10] ZykoticK9: you can't change the permissions on a mounted usb device usually. you have to mount it with different options === ivantis_ is now known as ivantis [21:10] but until you can get the array to mount with just defaults, it's gonna make it more difficult to troubleshoot [21:10] Schwag: you on 64bit? [21:11] ok, I can leave it just as it is... [21:11] i would hebrew text and special characters (comma, colon etc.) to coexist as they do in windows. at the moment, whether i press shift or not doesn't change the fact that all text remains hebrew and it doesn't allow for special characters without returning to US layout [21:11] raylu, the usb drive is mount RW - it's just that group/other don't have permission to right in the root of the mounted partition [21:11] nope [21:11] gpled, well,the case with the hard drive to copy stuff to it with terminal seems a no problem issue - but the flash drive should be working as a read/write device - and the strangest thing it that i cannot copy to it from nautilus but in terminal i transfered files with cp -r folder destination, so WITHOUT sudo [21:12] sounds like you need an MDADM guru...and i'm still learning (and having issues with my own) [21:12] I'm going to try again... [21:12] ZykoticK9: correct. and you can't chown it :D [21:12] ZykoticK9: or chmod it [21:12] i just dont understand why i have to reinstall them, everything works awesome, tremulous works, sauerbraten plays at 70fps, everything is great, i save the x config through nvidia-settings, then when i restart its always in low graphics mode, and never uses the saved xconfig [21:12] dougl: I did some stuff with it at uni. really, it's flexible, which is either good or bad [21:12] martin1231: yeah, iv had trouble with the gui too. you have to do something strange like right click on it, and give it write permissions.

[21:21] i was using encrypted home folder, then i changed my password for the user account. i noticed that the home folder is no longer automatically decrypted upon login so i tried to fix it. i manually mounted the home folder using ecryptfs-mount-private. then i used ecryptfs-rewrap-passphrase and upgraded the passphrase to my new user account password. now i can't even manually mount the encrypted home folder anymore....any help? [21:21] without giving the option of installing? [21:22] no whats that? [21:22] I am sooooo using the wiki. Forget this pop stand. (I'd still like help with my GRUB boot problem, though. :)) [21:22] grub problem? [21:22] It's reaaly a pity :( Zencyde, It's the same...the sound doesn't work... [21:22] what sort of grub problem? [21:22] I borked by menu.lst file. [21:22] And I'm not sure how to reset everything there. :o [21:23] owch, ubuntu's menulist files are....very...complicatedy [21:23] Its an auto-installer for NVidia graphics cards [21:23] Something is now causing GRUB to just hang with a blinking _ cursor. [21:23] ok so I tried to use unetbootin with jaunty which did not work.. eventually I got a hold of a blank disc and burned an install cd.. the problem is that I have a copy of extlinux.sys that I cannot delete from one of my partitions.. And it happens to be the partition I want to use as my home folder. if i try and use that partition as my home folder ubuntu just starts with a blank screen.. can anyone help me delete this file? [21:23] here is my /etc/network/interfaces file - can someone tell me if it looks right - http://pastebin.ca/1438414 [21:23] (the ones I use for gentoo are alot simpler) [21:23] I did some manual editing and then used a GUI. And silly me, I forgot to back up. :) I'm awfully tired, though. [21:23] hello :) [21:23] Man, I don't have time to compile all my packages, Mr. Gentoo. [21:24] when I try and delete it (even as sudo) i get "error removing file: operation not permitted" [21:24] Why is it when I download the Ubuntu Server 8.04LTS the ISO says it is for AMD64? [21:24] On that note, I am quite tempted to rip this here bong agian. [21:24] isnt there a 32 bit version of Ubuntu server? [21:24] Hey hey hey, I don't either, but its served me well, easier to bend exactly to how I want it to (instead of ubuntu/debian deciding what's 'best' for me) [21:24] oh i checked the wrong box :P [21:25] i didnt see the 32 bit radio button [21:25] hi everyone [21:25] Zencyde: what were you changing in the list file? what you're describing sounds alot more like you fragged grub itself [21:25] (in the MBR) [21:25] Can anyone tell me why I can't delete a file even as sudo? [21:25] Haha, I just edited menu.lst and then let a GUI handle it. :x [21:25] is it in use? [21:25] what do i need to install to run transmission from the terminal and access it from a browser ? [21:25] I should have backed it up. :( [21:25] i can't kill a process [21:26] mekan: what's the file? some system files you can't remove (like folders mounted as mountpoints) [21:26] Isn't there a utility for this? [21:26] If not, I'm submitting a bug. :) [21:26] i need some help...i've tried the command: kill -9 `ps -u joltman -o "pid=30317"` [21:26] what windowns games can run in wine? [21:26] its extlinux.sys [21:26] but it just restarts gdm [21:26] Zencyde: not for menu.lst (that I'm aware of) [21:26] Zencyde:if you really did it bad, reinstall grub (2nd link) [21:26] !grub [21:26] 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 [21:26] sysusb: but its from a failed unetbootin install on a second partition [21:26] Zencyde: pastebin your menu file? I could take a look at it and see if there's anything obvious.. [21:26] Man. [21:26] Is Ubuntu known to work with ExpressCard flash drives? [21:26] :( [21:27] Haha. [21:27] Okay. [21:27] You want 3 copies? [21:27] sysusb: so its not being used by my system [21:27] Zencyde: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:27] I have a backup and another one. [21:27] so you *DO * have a backup? [21:27] i can't kill easytag [21:27] Eck. :( Sorry. Bad habit of hitting "enter" after each sentence. [21:27] @Zencyde: i fixed that. [21:27] Are yuo interested? [21:27] CNLiberal, killall -9 easytag [21:28] Er... no... well, yes. I think it's pre-fuck up. :o But I switched that one out and it's still not working. [21:28] So maybe GRUB got borked? [21:28] anyone know how to reconfigure the installer CD's startup menu listing? (to auto boot into livecd/usb rather than offering installation options?) [21:28] @ZykoticK9: It'sstill there [21:28] Man... :( This is not how I wanted to spend my "high time". [21:28] Zencyde: Dunno, if we could see your menu file, we could rule it out as the problem [21:28] I'll send you a link in pvt [21:28] Haha, okay. Uno momento. [21:29] hey, I just got an eeepc 900ha and I want to install ubuntu 9.04. is it ok to install the standard version? I want the familiar gnome desktop [21:29] sysusb: you would have to create your own startup-disk then [21:29] i wonder if it will kill the battery faster than the netbook remix though [21:29] sysusb: i believe it is some sort of system file, but not one in use by my system now. How can I delete it? [21:30] DasEi: I've made a usb startup disk, so I figure/expect its r/w somewhere on the flashdrive, I just don't have the faintest idea where to start [21:30] mekan: what's its literal name/path and why do you want to delete it? [21:30] UCK wouldn't work to customize ubuntu-mini-remix.iso [21:30] anyone know why? [21:31] * sysusb notes that 1024x786 is not large enough a resolution to deal with ah channel of this many people. [21:31] any other, more forceful ways to kill a process? [21:31] Kill -9! [21:31] sysusb: its name is extlinux.sys and its housed on a seperate partition (sda3). The reason I want to delete it is because I want to use this partition as my home folder, but if i set it as the home folder with that file present, ubuntu boots into a black screen. [21:31] won't that kill everythign? [21:31] It's kill -9, no more CPU time. It's kill -9 and your processor is mine. :o [21:32] Nah, just ups it to the most important thing. [21:32] UCK wouldn't work to customize ubuntu-mini-remix.iso. Anyone know why? [21:32] Hi. My / partition quite often go in read-only mode. That's kinda boring. What can I do to remount it in r-w when it happend, or to fix that ? [21:32] sysusb: I see, that works; you can change menu.lst for the default boot [21:32] it didn't recognice -9! [21:32] hey everybody I know that there is always a lot going on here but can somebody help me with a quick question when they have a chance please [21:32] hellolinux: what? [21:33] hello [21:33] hello. After finnally getting my new ubuntu 9.04 to boot my mouse and keyboard do not zork.The keyboard works when i am in grub but when i have to login it doesnt work anymore.... Any help?

Also mouse is not working [21:34] Zencyde: looks ok to me, unless you did something to your MBR, or the uuid of your root volume changed. [21:35] :( [21:35] Man. [21:35] alienkid10> ha nevermind, 3rd try install is a charm. no question thanks anyway [21:35] So.... proposition for fixing? [21:35] Reinstall GRUB, I guess. D: [21:35] CNLiberal, kill requires the Process ID #, killall uses the name [21:35] Does Ubuntu keep GRUB on its own partition? [21:35] Zencyde: .. if uuids fit, then so [21:35] if i do a "sudo kill -9 30317" the process is still there [21:36] I can't install xserver-xorg-input-summa on ubuntu 9.04... aptitude says: No candidate version found for xserver-xorg-input-summa? how to install it? [21:36] How the balls do I get UUIDs? [21:36] sysusb: any ideas? [21:36] Zencyde: well, yea, but if you actually did *BREAK* your menu.lst file simply fixing the mbr contents won't bring it back. [21:36] Zencyde: by default in mbr [21:36] Zencyde:sudo blkid [21:36] Zencyde, blkid from a terminal gives you uuid [21:36] Zencyde: labels are simpler, and simpler still is to use device files (though you have to change lotsa stuff to make kernel update not break grub) [21:36] jarco, anything special/unique about your mouse & kbd?

Yesterday my HD crashed (laptop running for 10 minutes, typed in my username, pressed enter, X going wild, reboot, no hard drive detected), so I figured it was time to reinstall Ubuntu on a new HD.

Trying the amd64 ISO, the installer crashes after pressing enter on "install". [22:42] I already tried the noapic and nolapic options. [22:42] Is your netbook single or duel core?

I think rsync is still using them. How can I stop it? Should I just reboot? [22:45] it's done it with every version since 8.04 [22:45] I burned it at home, meaning the CD was from a spindle I bought "some years ago"... So it is quite possible. [22:45] !language | Veinor [22:45] Veinor: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [22:45] and...every other distro i try doesn't do this....hmm oh well...don't use ubuntu as primary os anymore, so it's no biggie...just wonderin' [22:45] Is there any security expert ? [22:45] thegve--ya thtel do it [22:45] ... this was the wrong channel. [22:45] thegve--try a newr cd [22:45] hello, where was it that desktop icons went, for installed applications? think the folder where called applications [22:45] GRR. [22:45] wat kind of families would be hanging out in a linux channel? that's stupid [22:45] there is MOST definitely not a "serious problem with my setup" tho ;) [22:46] hey guys, how can I restarted everything liek restarting my computer without actually restarting it? [22:46] mib_lnh49mif, logging out and logging in again? [22:46] basically i want to load everything again but i dont want to restart how can i do that?? [22:46] mib_t7pd68vr--there is a terminal command... [22:46] mib_lnh49mif, like a soft restart. [22:46] mib_t7pd68vr: u can restart X server? don't know if that's exactly what ur trying to do [22:47] hmm i guess just loggin out and back in will do it [22:47] antonius602: there definitely is if that's happening [22:47] :D [22:47] thanks brb [22:47] or at least a very grave bug you need to report soon [22:47] well why does every other distro work properly? [22:47] mib_lnh49mif, init 1 (single user mode), init 3 (normal mode) [22:47] antonius602: I don't know [22:47] I have a BUNCH of ip route commands to run, Is it best I create hook files in /etc/dhcp3/ ? or add them to /etc/network/interfaces? [22:47] well, then [22:47] i don't know i have a "serious problem", either [22:47] But I cannot think of a good reason why you would want that [22:47] FINE [22:47] i = YOU [22:47] thegve--fixed your cd problem yet? [22:47] lol [22:47] hansolo669: i can't seem to find any port configuring option [22:47] antonius602, are you using jaunty? [22:47] :/ [22:48] hansolo669, md5sum of /dev/cdrom gives an IO error after about a minute [22:48] Kalmi: sorry...didn't answer you, but yes and it's done this since 8.04 [22:48] I'll try burning another cd [22:48] Kalmi, Yes I believe he/she is [22:48] Kalmi: not using ubuntu as primary OS...so it's no biggie, i was really just wondering if anyone else has ran into this [22:48] antonius602, are you sure it turns off the computer and not only restarts X? [22:48] lol OFF [22:49] !dontzap [22:49] Anyone here happen to know how to share a folder with NFS on a FreeNAS? Ubuntu cant find the server... works with SMB though... [22:49] To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. [22:49] robbon33--that wold be on your router, if you dont have a router then make sure the setting for your emails server (imap/pop3) are set coreectly [22:49] Kalmi: like pulling the plug [22:49] antonius602, odd... [22:49] antonius602: I know you do if that's happens to you. Report a bug or do something like that, that should not be happening even a little bit [22:49] Kalmi: i know...i've done EVERYTHING lol, so like i said...just wondering if anyone else... [22:49] but I would expect it's a problem with your video card or your electrical wiring [22:50] thegve--see how that works [22:50] sjzzalx: no thx, i just use another distro now....that's why linux is awesome [22:50] Kalmi, I just tried to install dontzap and it says there isn't one. [22:50] Linux is awesome because people help with it and report bugs so that it learns more [22:50] LaMs: here's the screenshot: http://img241.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot.png [22:50] not reporting bugs is irresponsible and bad citizenship [22:51] iamtechno, you are not using jaunty [22:51] LaMs: i cannot copy-paste anything on the MP3 PLayer [22:51] Kalmi, true using 8.10 [22:51] iamtechno, ctrl alt del works in 8.10 [22:51] sjzzalx: seriously...i don't use ubuntu anymore...so...it's no biggie...i could honestly care less...it only happens on ONE particular computer... [22:51] I have a startup with the command gnome-terminal -e xbindkeys but for some reason when i login it doesnt work i need to manually do xbindkeys in terminal, why? [22:52] iamtechno, Ctrl+Alt+Backspace will restart X for you... You don't need the dontzap package for that :) [22:52] Anyone here happen to know how to share a folder with NFS on a FreeNAS? Ubuntu cant find the server... works with SMB though... === JordanC_ is now known as JordanC [22:52] Kalmi: disabled by default in jaunty I believe [22:52] madbuntu, yes [22:52] madbuntu, installing dontzap reenables it [22:52] I have a startup with the command gnome-terminal -e xbindkeys but for some reason when i login it doesnt work i need to manually do xbindkeys in terminal, for it to work [22:53] how do I make the packet manager download the 32 bit version of a packet instead?

[22:53] Is there a Ventrilo client for ubuntu? [22:54] How do I determine the IP network from an IP? [22:54] CooPs89, Let me check. [22:54] (for `ip route add $IP_NET ...` commands) [22:54] UntouchableMX--try doing a ping from your comp to some where else, then check your router setting (cables connection ect) [22:54] UntouchableMX: this is a common problem, network manager sucks...consult one of the 10,000 online guides for ubuntu + wifi... many fixes, depending on ur hardware [22:55] ok thanks [22:55] Jag hoppas det! Är i princip klart... men jag vill fixa så att man kan accessa servern via t ex server.atbrahososs.nu och enkelt kunna jobba med sina filer bara man har en internetuppkoppling...

[22:58] thegve: so it doesnt matter that it says AMD? [22:58] ZyKoticK9 its a non-Apple MP3 Player. A Philips model [22:59] AMD developed the 64 bit x86 instruction set, it was licensed later on by intel [22:59] Desen, a Philips what model? [22:59] (So AMD has a x86 license from INTEL and Intel has a 64 bit license of it from AMD) [22:59] mrwes /media/NOIZE [22:59] phoenixz, it does not matter is says AMD [22:59] phoenixz, amd64 is that same as intel64 :P [22:59] thegve: hehehe, gotta love licenses..

[23:01] phoenixz, I'm not sure about that. I've never installed Ubuntu on LVM myself. I am mainly a programmer and not an administrator by profession :). [23:01] Desen: chown -R Desen /media/NOIZE ,assuming regular user is named Desen [23:01] Desen, you might need to change the ownership from the terminal: sudo chown yourusername:yourusername /media/NOIZE [23:01] iamtechno: roger [23:01] How do I determine the "IP network" from an IP?

[23:24] a_:nein, aber [23:24] !de [23:24] jonaskoelker: no... try DamnSmallLinux or tinycore [23:24] hi there, can anyone tell me why when i try to start a screen through php I get a "select screen profile" + "your profile is not accessable" [23:24] <_pHI_> hi, i was wondering how i use grep to search for the string "../include"? It somehow assumes that dots are regular expressions for any character. how do i make sure it's treated as '..' instead? [23:24] neurobuntu_: msdos is the default and recommended [23:24] jonaskoelker: better yet, invest in a cdrom burner [23:24] aaditya, thanks [23:25] neurobuntu_: np [23:25] gartral--dsl is very minimal [23:25] I want to control fan speed. How can I do this easily from the commandline? [23:25] !wifi > hamburglar [23:25] hamburglar, please see my private message [23:25] gartral: yeah yeah, it's for a friend's box :) [23:25] gartral--lol [23:25] jonaskoelker--so? [23:25] Kalmi: nah i tried using the full path didnt work [23:25] and one can install the "real" ubuntu from the Ubuntu Mini Remix? [23:25] hamburglar: that page explains how to use ndiswrapper, but check for alternative instructions specific to your card first [23:25] hansolo669: well jonaskoelker is asking for a floppy install alternative for ubunt... [23:25] _pHI_, have you tried putting a \ in from of the . ? ie grep \.\.\/include type thing [23:25] well, my cd burner doesn't help my friend over in the next city :) [23:26] gartral--that dosent exist!!! [23:26] neurobuntu_: though i'm not sure if you meant partition type... [23:26] <_pHI_> ZykoticK9: thnx [23:26] aaditya, yes that is what I meant [23:26] is there real diffference btw having an ubuntu server or debian server? [23:26] hansolo669: tell him that... I know of only TWO linux oses that maintain a floppy installation [23:26] t [23:26] anternat: not much [23:26] neurobuntu_: ext3 or ext4 [23:26] jonaskoelker--floppy ubuntu DOSNOTEXIST!!!!!!! [23:27] aaditya, oops no I didn't mean that [23:27] !ext3 [23:27] ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [23:27] i dont even know anyone with a working floopy drive >.> [23:27] aaditya, msdos was the answer to my question [23:27] thanks, I get that... [23:27] I'm unable to locate any reference to how to find the target of a hardlink, and wondering if anyone here might have a thought. [23:27] neurobuntu_: ok cool [23:27] anternat: support (security updates by canonical and LTS releases) [23:27] debian still has floppy support, right? [23:27] gartral--now you do but its only for work [23:27] jonaskoelker--no [23:27] what are the benefits of ext4 over ext3? I have disc that is going to be for storage of media, pictures, music, movies, etc... should I use ext4 or ext3? [23:27] how do i copy a folder without using symbolic links [23:27] ah, that was back in 2004, then :\ [23:27] jonaskoelker--yupo [23:28] ah well, the ubuntu mini will do [23:28] how can i add xbindkeys to startup applications the command gnome-terminal -e /usr/bin/xbindkeys doesnt work gnome-terminal -e xbindkeys doesn't work and xbindkeys doesn't work [23:28] jonaskoelker--try serching the torrents [23:28] gartal: cp -r [23:28] hey guys, my wifi card connects to the ap, and it gets ip and all of that info, but it aint gettin internet and not givin me any network resources, will installing a different network manager work, if so wich one do you guys recommend [23:28] neurobuntu_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4#Features [23:28] jonaskoelker--or just search floppy linux distro [23:28] aaditya, i've been reading that [23:28] TheAnimalMX: what do you see when you try to visit a website? [23:29] unable to connect [23:29] and I ping my ap and it fails [23:29] hansolo669: well, I don't think the results offa' "floppy linux distro" would be floppy-based _ubuntu_ installers... [23:29] Yadra, i don't have an answer for you, but a hardlink sorta becomes the file - it is two files pointing to the same physical disk location (much different from a softlink) [23:29] anyways... [23:29] TheAnimalMX: let's start with the output of `sudo ifconfig` [23:29] jonaskoelker--yes but if you want linux you can still serch that :/ [23:29] I'm unable to locate any reference to how to find the target of a hardlink, and wondering if anyone here might have a thought. [23:30] hansolo669: uhh... okay... [23:30] thanks, I guess [23:30] well im in windows right now because wifi is my only way of internet [23:30] how can i add xbindkeys to startup applications the command gnome-terminal -e /usr/bin/xbindkeys doesnt work gnome-terminal -e xbindkeys doesn't work and xbindkeys doesn't work [23:30] but I have the log from yesterdya, I can send it to you [23:30] jonaskoelker, what are you trying to do? [23:30] mib_28qbc9zk: /usr/bin/xbindkeys [23:30] TheAnimalMX: sure, go ahead [23:30] whats up guys [23:31] jonaskoelker--well..thinking...stay here for a bit, i'l see if i can find a floppy debian img [23:31] poningru: help my friend, who apparently has a too-small-for-the-std-ubuntu-image install ubuntu [23:31] hansolo669: don't bother, I don't need it [23:31] jonaskoelker--OK [23:31] oops, there should be a "CD" in there, poningru [23:32] !pastebin| TheAnimalMX [23:32] TheAnimalMX: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [23:32] anyone kows if it's possible to have gnome-terminal displaying the current command as window title .. i.e. if i'm currently doing a "less somefile.txt", i'd get that as window title in gnome-term [23:32] jonaskoelker, hmm? [23:32] his hdd is too small? [23:32] poningru: nope, his cd [23:32] TheAnimalMX: it's ok now [23:32] poningru: his _burnable_ cd [23:32] how can i add xbindkeys to startup applications the command gnome-terminal -e /usr/bin/xbindkeys doesnt work gnome-terminal -e xbindkeys doesn't work and xbindkeys doesn't work [23:32] jonaskoelker--new cd's [23:33] TheAnimalMX: i don't see an IP address there. how do you know that you got one? [23:33] http://paste.ubuntu.com/183204/ [23:33] man, I sucked at explaining that... sizeof(ubuntu mini) < sizeof(his cd) < sizeof(normal image) [23:33] ugh this is useless [23:33] hansolo669: you know a cd store open at 00:30? [23:33] jonaskoelker: or use the netinstaller version [23:33] reading all these commands i don't know about and will probably never use ever again [23:33] anyone here use mediacoder? [23:33] suddenly the chat has fizzeled? [23:33] jonaskoelker, the Ubuntu CD does require a 700MB not a 650MB CD... [23:33] jonaskoelker--no but..well can you wait till tom? [23:34] hansolo669: tom? [23:34] !minimal | jonaskoelker [23:34] jonaskoelker: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [23:34] mib_28qbc9zk: doesn't work means? the command isn't executed at startup? [23:34] wow [23:34] how do i copy a folder without using symbolic links [23:34] jonaskoelker--tomoro [23:34] I'm trying to get Nautilus to show me where a folder shortcut points. [23:34] :) [23:34] #a2000a @ irc.aniverse.com [23:34] gartral: cp [23:34] aaditya: yes, if i open terminal and run xbindkeys it works but otherwise it's not getting started up when i login [23:34] Yadra: it's not a shortcut ;) [23:35] gartal: cp -r , again [23:35] Yadra, that's not a hardlink at all! ls -l in command line will show you. [23:35] aaditya: no, it still says operation not permitted, cant use symboilic links [23:35] well aaditya, did you check the link? [23:35] kerebrus: what's that? [23:35] hansolo669: no, by then my friend is lost in the black pit where the bugblatter beast of traal resides [23:35] ubuntu 9.04 is really nice with download file sizes for packages. How did ubuntu do this? What kind of compression is this? [23:35] jonaskoelker--lol very funny [23:35] DasEi: hey, thanks for that reference [23:35] the downloads for installing packages are all smaller [23:35] jonaskoelker: np [23:35] gartral: you can't use symbolic links on a FAT system. [23:36] what would be _really_ _awesome_ was if there was a link to those alternate ways of installing ubuntu, on the page where I choose how I want to install ubuntu [23:36] unkmar: i know that! how do i copy without using them!?!?! [23:36] *HEADDESK* [23:36] jonaskoelker--thare is...i think [23:36] !install | jonaskoelker [23:36] jonaskoelker: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

What sym links are you trying to copy? [23:37] all I could find was links to a _different_ 700 meg cd ... :\ [23:37] jonaskoelker--oh hmm..well i tried :/ [23:37] aaditya: any clue on what might be the problem? [23:37] hansolo669: thanks :) [23:37] jonaskoelker-- no prob [23:37] unkmar: please, i have 6 gigs of info i gotta put in my flash drive... how do i copy without using the symlinks? [23:38] unkmar: im not trying to copy a symlink, i have data on my drive, and its trying to MAKE a symlink to it on the flashdrive [23:38] mib_28qbc9zk: try setting up a different startup application and see if that works. try `zenity --info` [23:38] jonaskoelker: also if you got a running 9.04 or 8.10, usbcreator is a nice tool, installation from stick is very comfortable, too [23:38] gartral: and you are doing the copy from cli? [23:38] unkmar: i just want to compy my music non destructivly :( [23:38] DasEi: yeah, thanks for the tip. I (he) had a running Hardy/Breezy, but then it blew up [23:38] unkmar: same result using GUI and CLI [23:39] gartral: is your source a symlink? or contains symlinks?

[23:40] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=516649 <----------------- [23:40] hamburglar: the community documentation is sadly horribly out of date [23:40] aaditya, did you check the link of the post? Im TheAnimalMX [23:40] gartral--dont worry it should still work [23:40] aaditya: how can i tell? [23:40] so i'm ass out if I want to install my linksys wireless USB driver? [23:40] hamburglar: and enough stuff gets update between each release that the docs stop working... [23:40] Yadra: haha it wasn't about your question. try `ls -l` [23:40] gartral, press ctrl while dragging them [23:41] hansolo669: ive tryed dragging and dropping 55 times, it STILL wants to make a GDE symlink\ [23:41] aaditya: could it really be that simple? lol [23:41] aaditya: I never got the impression ls -l would show details like that [23:41] aaditya: I didn't even think it showed timestamps [23:41] so basically Google DID NOT help me out at all :/ [23:41] aaditya: just file size === bk|away is now known as bk [23:41] gartral--ok thats wierd...hmm can you ingnore that dialog box and see if it still works [23:41] gartral: did you try holding down ctrl in Nautilus? [23:41] ElAnimalMX: i did. it looks fine. is your router playing up? security restrictions in router? can you ping your machine from another machine? [23:41] Kalmi: Error, Cannot create symlink; operation not allowed [23:42] I havent tried that [23:42] can i put password for a particular folder [23:42] aaditya: okay, well thanks, and afk as I check :) [23:42] yes, ive copied, used cp -a, ctl+drag-n-drop all with same result [23:42] ruler--yes [23:42] gartral: ls -laR folder > log.txt [23:42] but how wierd that it only does it in when Im in ubuntu [23:43] why is it that devilspie command works but xbindkeys doesnt work as a startup command? [23:43] ruler, you can set user permissions on a folder level, but i know of no way to password particular folder in linux [23:43] unkmar: which folder? [23:43] gartral, cp -L [23:43] gartral: then pastebin the log.txt file. We will see if we can locate the links that are causing the problem. [23:43] should I open I port on the router? [23:43] gartral--i dont know smarter perople go ahead...agian... :) [23:43] what's KDE? [23:43] ElAnimalMX: nope, no ports required [23:43] !kde | hamburglar [23:43] hamburglar: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu.

[23:43] so what do you recommend that I should do [23:43] the folder that conatins the files you plan to copy. [23:44] I've defined the interface in /etc/networking/interfaces [23:44] aaditya: why is it that devilspie command works but xbindkeys doesnt work as a startup command? [23:44] gartral: also can you copy any single file to the drive? it might be a permissions issue [23:44] so i have to install KDE to use his script? [23:44] no thanks [23:44] hamburglar--kde is a difret "winodow manager" its like gnome but with big difrences [23:44] ElAnimalMX: which router do you have? [23:44] rwwty THAT WORKED [23:44] i have avi files that i've imported from my camera that skip terribly. is this an issue with .avi and totem?

Im on 8.10 [23:44] gartral, you're welcome :) [23:44] yea it appears that Ubuntu does not support WUSB54GC at all [23:44] who is in charge of jaunty's mysql?

[23:45] gartral--no prob [23:46] gartral: I think you must have symlinks in your source directory somewhere then [23:46] gtlz, the Ubuntu core and MOTU developers. Why? [23:46] ubuntu has been a disappointment over and over for hardware [23:46] casperfoo: possibly, but i dont know how to tell [23:46] gartral: in nautilus they show up with a different icon [23:46] rww_: because of mysql bug 35608 and it making it relatively impossible to gracefully upgrade using the stock mysql 5.1 server [23:46] gartral: I agree with casperfoo. there must be some symlinks in the source directory. [23:46] hamburglar--stop complaning [23:46] why ? [23:46] rww_: they have it as a wontfix and it only affects the maria tree. [23:46] hamburglar--its tiering [23:46] please tell how to put code for particular folder [23:46] gartral: like in your home directory, the Examples directory is a symlink [23:47] rww_: let me save you some time: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=35608 [23:47] hamburglar: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [23:47] aaditya: not sure what u mean, like i run devilspie through terminal and xbindkeys and they both work and when i do a startup command devilspie works and the command xbindkeys doesn't it's akward [23:47] i have been looking at that aaditya [23:47] casperfoo: I removed the Examples directorys [23:47] Is there really no bpm counter app in the repos? That's hard to believe [23:47] bpm counter for dance music i mean [23:47] hamburglar: this one is easier than compiling ndiswrapper [23:48] logankoester--do you have all comunity apps selected at the to of the add remove programs window [23:48] ok i have that ndiswrapper thing installed using the package manager [23:48] what next? [23:48] ok, so I'm trying to setup openvpn on my box, and when I restart networking, I get an error that says "Ignoring unknown interface br0=br0." [23:48] please tell how to put code for particular folder [23:48] I've defined the interface in /etc/networking/interfaces [23:48] casperfoo: but how do i tell?

[23:49] gartral: ok.. well you can create a new symlink in Nautilus by just rigth-clicking and choosing "make link"; sorry that examples "link" is a different kind, not a normal symlink [23:49] 1737:0077 is the id of my usb device. nothing more. nothing like linksys or cisco or anything liek that [23:49] !pastebin | vincentRDL [23:49] vincentRDL: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [23:49] logankoester--ok well try googling bpm counter for linux [23:49] rww_: and it most certainly affects a 5067 => 5131 replication [23:49] gartral: symlinks in Nautilus have a big arrow on them [23:49] gtlz, does this affect the version Ubuntu uses? [23:49] jwfoxjr, link 4 if missing an iface [23:50] gartral: did vincentRDL flood? i didn't notice.. [23:50] casperfoo: how do i tell if there are symlinks in the source dir im copying? [23:50] thanks hansolo669 i'm sure i'll find one that way [23:50] jwfoxjr, sorry line 4 is missing an iface [23:50] i could just write on in ruby or python in 5 minutes anyway [23:50] vincentRDL: is some other program accessing the drive at the same time?

[23:50] gartral: you could just browse it with Nautilus, I was suggesting; or use an ls -l command in a shell and look for lines starting with "lrwxrwxrwx" [23:51] Hi all. I have Ubuntu on my internal HD and I just installed XUbuntu to an external HD so I can use it for a project I'm working on, and as a backup OS in case my HD dies.
