[00:02] racecar56: in a terminal, type gnome-default-applications-properties [00:02] salmon, what panel [00:03] ewsubach, kk [00:03] _2eXtreme, thxxxxxxxxx [00:03] racecar56, right click your top bar, click add to panel, should be able to add all the menus back on there [00:03] Hi! Does anyone know how I can download the deb file with apt? [00:03] ewsubach, salmon, problem solved [00:03] racecar56: cool [00:03] How do I stop the updated manager from popping up and telling me to install updates? [00:03] salmon, what top bar [00:04] ewsubach, http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/set-the-default-browser-on-ubuntu-from-the-command-line/\ [00:04] hola [00:04] salmon, http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/set-the-default-browser-on-ubuntu-from-the-command-line/ i got it [00:04] racecar56: if you don't have a panel at the top of the screen, or that panel doesn't have an Applications button on the left side, then you've already customized your interface more than you should if you're going to be asking these sorts of questions [00:04] sparr, i use openbox :P [00:04] Sp00K: apt-get --download-only [00:04] sparr, THAT is why [00:05] aomeone can make me sex [00:05] how do you create a symbolic link to a directory? when I use cp -s it skips directories [00:05] sparr, I tried apt-get --download-only install is that correctly ? because I'm afraid it will install ? [00:05] racecar56: and you didn't think to mention that? [00:05] sparr, was going to [00:05] i want sex [00:05] ewsubach: ln -s [00:05] does anyone know of a window manager that is only a terminal?

I want a compact window manager for my server install [00:07] !ot | sparr [00:07] sparr: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [00:07] tj13820: you can use any application as your wm... make xterm your wm if you want :) [00:07] sparr: if you have question for the ops, please ask in #ubuntu-ops [00:08] odd... how come there's no www-data group in System -> Administration -> Users and Groups -> Manage Groups [00:08] sparr, Do you have any idea how I can force the package to be download although its already installed? I tried -f [00:08] i am installing ubuntu on old inpirion. it stuck at 'configuring apt', 'scanning the mirror'. any ideas? [00:08] sparr: -_- i want a real window manager with only a terminal. no bar, no backgrounds, no screensaver, no right click menu (like fluxbox) [00:08] tj13820: when selecting a session you may have the option of "Failsafe", which would be what you want [00:08] racecar56: that looks like I can only turn of the check for updates entirely... I'd like to go back to what I had before which was an icon by the clock when updates were available. [00:08] tj13820: what do you want the window manager to do? [00:08] sparr: i don't have GDM or KDM installed. it is a server :P [00:09] i just want a GUI incase i need to launch a utility [00:09] it doesnt sound like you want any of the functionality of a window manager [00:09] concidering i can just use "screen firefox" instead of clicking with the mouse... === antoninus is now known as anto9us [00:10] This is also going into a virtual machine [00:10] tj13820: install X on the server and run gui programs over a remote connection from a computer that has a wm running [00:10] tj13820: specifically, what functionality do you want that you would not have if you did not use a window manager? [00:10] qr: i need it to run locally. [00:10] sparr: virtualbox seamless mode. to run linux apps (ubuntu apps) without any BS [00:10] tj13820: it would be run locally, and the window would appear on the remote machine [00:11] tj13820: interesting, I was not aware that would not work without a WM... [00:11] I installed a timer-applet, but it doesn't show up in Applications. [00:11] is it possible to open nautilus without the file manager opening so i just get the desktop? [00:11] qr: i would have already done that if it would solve me dillema :( [00:11] I did whereis timer-applet, and found some of the files [00:12] What kind of file is the equivalent of the .exe. file in Windows? [00:12] tj13820: ok, so let's come at this problem from the other direction... why can't you disable the panel/menu in something like fluxbox? [00:12] hou5ton, nothing [00:12] hou5ton: binaries in linux do not (need to) have an extension [00:12] hou5ton: file extensions don't really mean anything on linux [00:12] hou5ton, you chmod +x it [00:12] hou5ton: there is no extension for binary executables in linux or other unix-like OSes [00:12] ok [00:12] sparr: when i use seamless mode, the background/theming just fubars the whole thing. It overlaps the desktop and windows doesn't show. [00:12] hou5ton, file extentions are just names... so linux ignores them [00:12] sparr: i tried fluxbox [00:13] hou5ton: try system>preferences>main-menu ... or if it is a gnome -app right click on the top panel and click add applet - if it is a gnome app it will be listed there [00:13] hou5ton, you chmod +x a file to make it executable [00:13] hou5ton, but of course it has to be a binary file in the first place... [00:13] tj13820: try fvwm or twm or any of a dozen other tiny-memory-footprint WMs? I don't think there has ever been a just-a-WM, they all have one or another extra features, but you can disable those [00:13] hou5ton: specify a binary file with #!/bin/bash or #!/path/to/shell [00:14] sparr: which would you reccomend? the most configurable window manager. [00:14] tj13820: that's a shell script, not a binary [00:14] tj13820: try wmii-2, it's pretty cool [00:15] tj13820: binaries start with a certain string of bits that identifies their type [00:16] lstarnes: ah. I stand corrected. [00:16] qr: I'll have a look at that, thanks! [00:17] I'm such a nerd...

The respective window starts to open, then closes like if it hit a segfault wall [00:22] fccf: thanks [00:22] t1000: start it from a terminal, this way you get helpful error info [00:23] Zelfje: thanks zelfje!

And switching from one OS to another always brings about annoyances because of this ;) [00:25] racecar56: what's "mash" [00:25] right click on them : move [00:25] not permanently without fiddling with registry [00:25] gnomoe-panel with nautilus on top of openbox [00:25] gnome-panel with nautilus on top of openbox [00:25] never used the folder due to stupidity [00:25] mdg, gnome-panel with nautilus on top of openbox [00:25] zelfje, as soon as you do that, Windows creates a new one [00:25] <_2eXtreme> mdg: its all part of the learning! hows things with you mate?

No problems at the moment :) [00:26] sorry for the +....

[02:02] glicks: you won't get that kind of batt life reliably [02:02] i get this errro while running Synaptics : http://i39.tinypic.com/dpd7oi.png [02:02] fccf, even if i get 8 hours thats still pretty sweet [02:02] anyone have pointers about git on ubuntu 9.10? === infomomo is now known as InfoMoMo [02:02] thiebaude: I heard about a few people getting a like currupted Ext4 partition, but with those kernel patches for the latest kernel, I think it's fine, except for those 3 issues in the release notes. Also Fedora 11 released in 3 days according to the website, has Ext4 by default, which must mean something [02:03] glicks: you are too hopefull [02:03] besides firefox, what browser is good for ubuntu? [02:03] does you have first hand experience fccf [02:03] thiebaude: latest kernel? I meant the one Ubuntu has in repo [02:03] fccf: does that make you too cynical? [02:03] tomtommy: opera [02:03] sebsebseb: im thinking about going ubuntu only [02:03] the 2.6.30 rc 5 [02:04] Ok, should I backup my stuff to my backup drive before I try installing from a dvd? [02:04] glicks: actually I do have first hand expierence with the eee701 and I got mabee 2 hours running xandros [02:04] snooflecake: I am the cynic [02:04] Siesta: yes [02:04] Siesta: any important data you should back up, you shoudn't just store everything on your computers hard disk, it could just fail, so if you take this advice, I think Ext4 would be absoutly great for you [02:04] julcr3 w=any others? [02:04] fccf, yeah i heard that one sucked [02:04] Siesta: Better safe then sorry :)) [02:05] Siesta: and your going to love compiz effects [02:05] tomtommy: chrome? i dunno if they r linux yet [02:05] I'm having some... interesting issues with fglrx. Any experts around? [02:05] In all kubuntu worked and is probably a good replacement. I will consider using it once the fonts and wireless issues are sorted out. [02:05] ok, but if I have 3 hard drives, I install ubuntu on one, windows on the other, and my backup drive will ubuntu effect the windows drive or the backup? if not then I'm all set becuase my third is empty [02:06] Siesta: the backup drive is fine [02:06] Siesta: you won't just lose data by using Ext4, let me be clear on that [02:06] glicks: you will never get the performance they advertise, usually they turn everything off to get as much time out of the battery they can - like my laptop 45 min while on and connected to internet... 16 hours on standby [02:06] no, I have two drives buuild into my pc. I will be installing ubunto on my second one [02:06] Hi, I'm trying to downgrade some packages according to the instructions at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 -- however, apt-get wants to remove packages, which I'm warned not to let it do. Could someone help me figure out if I'm doing something wrong, or if it is actually ok to let it remove those packages? [02:06] Siesta: ,but in the past there were some issues, but they are all fixed now as far as I know [02:06] hi, is there a *good* graph plotting software available? kmplot (yeah, I'm on kde) doesn't seem to support recursive functions (euler) and kAlgebra is worthless [02:06] sebsebseb: yep, ext4 is very good [02:06] or was [02:06] Siesta: and in the past as in, before the file system became stable [02:06] I think for now I will stick with ext3 atleast untill I get some experience [02:07] fccf, the atom is a low power cpu [02:07] hi it possiile to see log of deleted files ? [02:07] so is it safe to install on the other hard drive in my computer? [02:07] i get this errror while running Synaptics : http://i39.tinypic.com/dpd7oi.png am still getting :The following packages have been kept back: linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic - linux-restricted-modules-generic [02:07] Yanick: have you seen wolframalpha.com - sorry may be !ot [02:07] Do i need to enable some repositories ? maybe re-generate a sources.list [02:07] fccf/glicks: the only fact is that the netbooks are designed to have at least more battery life than regular notebooks [02:07] Siesta: on the free space drive [02:08] Siesta: someone else clean installed and did Ext4, and she had no problems with it [02:08] yeah, so it will be safe to install on a hard drive with nothing on it? How do I then add ext4? [02:08] im thinking of selling my laptop to get one [02:08] Siesta: i also did a clean install of ext4 and no problems [02:08] snooflecake: glicks: still not going to get anywhere near 8 hours of battery life [02:08] i never travel with it cause its so damn big and bulky [02:08] fccf, i edited the menu, however every time i click on the evolution icon i made, it launches in terminal [02:08] fccf/glicks: agreed. it might get 4 at most [02:08] Siesta: yes, but just to be 100% safe backup any really important data else where as well, which you should be doing anyway, because the hard disk could just fail [02:09] is the option to install ext4 right on the install menu when I boot [02:09] Siesta: no [02:09] nm, i'm stupid [02:09] its fairly off topic but should ppl be giving other companies like yahoo and lycos and such a chance instead of flocking to google? [02:09] Siesta: ,but it's easy enough to do [02:09] glicks: go lookup the advertized battery life of your current laptop and compare to what it actually is [02:09] snooflecake: glicks: fccf: getting a bit offtopic [02:09] Siesta: no, you'll get to that part later [02:09] ok, I have used a version of linux in the past, brb [02:09] Siesta: and if things go wrong, because of Ext4, which is unlikly on a clean install, but if it does, you can blame thiebaude :d [02:10] sebsebseb: haha [02:10] Hey, anyone know much about firewalls or firestarter?? [02:10] fccf, I'm not sure that it's what I'm looking for... [02:10] :) [02:10] sebsebseb: i just hope he does it right [02:10] Hello, Is there away to hide mounted devices from showing an icon on the desktop? [02:10] thiebaude: well we make sure he does it right? === gary is now known as Guest76486 [02:10] I have used a version of linux on a stupid littl XO laptop [02:10] kewl, mate [02:10] Barridus: go into menu editor ... right click on evolution>properties ... make sure it says applications [02:10] hey, why is apt-get not able to parallelize more than one update/install session? I just tried two installs at once and it said 'resources temporarily unavailable' [02:11] you know more than i do [02:11] fccf i figured it out, thanks :) [02:11] the reason I ask here is because when I install firefox in ubuntu I am automatically sent to google, I have done many searches over the last few days with yahoo and have not had bad results [02:11] How can I add another interface to firestarter if it does not pick it up?? Please [02:11] thiebaude: that also means he gets the partition size done right first time round, because by the sounds of the release notes there could be a little problem if an Ext4 partition is resized, at the moment [02:11] does anyone know how to restore a backup from a remote server using sbackup? i have scoured the web and can't seem to find one that helps when the ssh port is something other than default D: [02:11] 28 more min till ubuntu is downloaded! [02:11] sebsebseb: ok [02:11] i can ssh to the dang directory, i just can't get rsync or anything to work right [02:11] in both the home page and in the search box, that seems unfair [02:11] !notes | Siesta thiebaude [02:11] Siesta thiebaude: Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) release notes can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/ReleaseNotes [02:11] thats because you are only allowed one terminal open installing something. That means synaptic cant be working at the same time as a terminal unless you get a special program [02:12] yanick: I am not sure what you are trying to graph --- I just suggested wolfram cause it is sooooo cool [02:12] sebsebseb: thats a good read [02:12] simple backup restore wont work D: [02:12] Siesta: by the way as long as your WIndows partition is shutdown properly, you can read and write to it no problem from Ubuntu [02:12] thiebaude: indeed it is [02:12] ok thanks [02:13] sebsebseb: i haven't tried yet, but does windows read ubuntu files fine too? [02:13] think its worth getting that in exchange for my laptop? [02:13] sebsebseb: i miss ubuntu [02:13] Aww. [02:14] snooflecake: well there's the Ext3 driver for Windows http://www.fs-driver.org however Windows being able to read and write to a Linux partition that isn't just a data one, I don't think is the best idea [02:14] is there any chance of this disc wiping my windows partition? [02:14] cause if so then forget it [02:14] snooflecake: after all you get a virus or whatever on Windows, and it deletes stuff from your Linux partition, and problems [02:14] Siesta: no it will be fine [02:14] * cjae_ apologizes for trolling over whatever it is called, but is just curious [02:14] If this is the official support chat for ubuntu why is the irc client not included on a standard ubuntu install? [02:14] alright, because I do not want to touch windows, i don't have the install disc [02:14] does anybody know how to get access to the font used by xterm? I'd like to use that font for other things [02:14] Siesta: Ubuntu won't delete stuff from your Windows partition, unless you tell it to === Kernel is now known as Wicked [02:15] sebsebseb: agreed, but to copy over media type files from ubuntu would be nice, even though i plan on getting rid of windows 7 [02:15] no i mean will it format the c drive? [02:15] Siesta: or your Ubuntu install got broken into by someone and they did it, which would be pretty unlikely [02:15] Guest76486: pidgin is === Guest76486 is now known as Kong [02:15] Guest76486: the standard client is pidgin [02:15] Siesta: that's right you should have a hardware firewall with Ubuntu really as well, with any OS in fact [02:15] Can anyone read this text === Kong is now known as DittyKong [02:15] danny_: yes danny [02:15] nope [02:15] danny_: yes [02:15] ohh good [02:15] this is the model im looking at [02:16] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220505 [02:16] so u can get here from Pidgin? I never use pidgin I always install xchat [02:16] or can I choose to install on the D drive (my 2 hard drive) [02:16] glicks: i was looking for laptops today [02:16] Siesta: no [02:16] Siesta: well kind of [02:16] what?? [02:16] Siesta: except it wil be knwon as sda2 in Ubuntu/Linuxdistros [02:16] hello how do i pause or slow down the resync "check" of my softwareraid1 to have a flawless io? [02:16] I can't choose to install on second hard drive? [02:16] thiebaude, yeah i think ima hock mine on craigslist and get a netbook [02:17] Siesta: yes you will [02:17] Well my problem with getting a usb interface into firstarter does not seem to be sparking much info, Anyone know where else i might be able to find anything? google has not been much help.. [02:17] Siesta: just the drives having a letter is a Windows thing, that's what I was getting at [02:17] DittyKong: I am using pidgin [02:17] Does anyone know where i can get a copy of the sources.list file ? [02:17] glicks: my only problem with netbooks is the non-cd drive [02:17] <_daniel_> This channel really sucks, someone needs to come up with a better solution for Real Time Chat when there is so many people... [02:17] Siesta: this will all make sense once your on the Live CD [02:17] Ah... but can I install on my hard drive with nothing on it instead of partitioning my hard drive full of junk? [02:17] thiebaude: glicks: still offtopic [02:17] InfoMoMo: that list is probably customized... but you can have mine if you want [02:18] <_daniel_> InfoMoMo, as opposed to /etc/apt/sources.list ? [02:18] _daniel_: well there are other Ubuntu channels [02:18] anyone knows how to watch divx web streams? i tryed vlc but there is only a black box with "waiting for video" [02:18] _daniel_: yes [02:18] thanks seeker [02:18] _daniel_: there should be one for your area, and so on [02:18] _daniel_: i feel like i am missing some parts on 9.04, when i did the upgrade [02:18] danny_:firestarter is a is a frontend for the firewall - are you confused?

[03:07] Artichoke200: generally, during bootup, one hits f8 repeatedly to bring up the BIOS settings. From there, you navigate it through the keyboard.

[04:01] on the side of my keyboard, that is [04:01] scunizi: well yeah something like that, they cause windows to move and stuff [04:02] Cosmo1: note that you can map keys to functions using System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts.

I can't totally remember but I'll make some guesses [04:03] Costmo1: yea--assuming that the functions listed are sufficient (Keyboard Shortcuts is limited by the functions it allows keys to be mapped to, not the number of keys it recognizes ;) ) [04:03] Microsoft ?? Bug ??? I don't believe it [04:03] ARMENIAN: lol, yea. Mine works fine though... dunno why yours is fussy [04:04] ARMENIAN: CTRL+ALT+numlock or ctrl+numlock.. also look in System/Preferences/Assistive Technologies and turn off anything that is on.

It's been around since Hardy I think [04:04] ARMENIAN: oh, and have you cleaned it yet? pretty nice technology the way the keys fit into their slots ;) [04:05] scunizi: well yeah u see, when num lock is off it moves the cursor when it is on it does some god knows what [04:05] Unislash: lol nah been using it for about a year now but havent cleaned it [04:05] ARMENIAN: ah, i did have that problem... how'd i fix that... lemme search google [04:06] Unislash: now u remember :P [04:06] kind of annoying i go to type in number and bam things getting minimized or changed [04:06] ARMENIAN: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=514554 [04:06] heyup. i'm thinking to upgrade distro to 9.10, but i get the warning about fglrx not supporting my x1400 hardware. is that still the case - i thought there might be an amd release that does?

[04:25] time to head ... laters people [04:25] :P [04:25] jamiejackson the amd64/em64t 180.60 [04:26] jamiejackson: you know to do it from a tty right? [04:26] fccf: I have not done the restricted formats yet...which i'm not currently doing...but i have done the shell script and packages specified under the dvd section [04:26] hi when I try to synce my wm2003 device, I get an error saying that hal is not fully implemented, any help? [04:27] i tried two versions of the 18x.x.x series, scunizi (and one of the ones was the version you mentioned), and they both say: WARNING: The NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 GPU installed in this system is supported through the NVIDIA 173.14.xx legacy Linux graphics drivers. Please visit http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html for more information. The 180.60 NVIDIA Linux graphics driver will ignore this GPU. [04:27] slammer, naw thats a diff org [04:27] slammer: ubuntu's main website is www.ubuntu.com [04:27] slammer: ubuntu.tv has no affiliation with ubuntu the operating system [04:27] i guess if "all" restricted package install works ill be satisfied, but i'd rather just only install the restricted formats i need, I like to try to remain as fully "open source" as possible [04:27] fccf ohhh thanks for the clarification [04:28] jamiejackson, is 17x an available option? might want to try using envy-ng to install drivers [04:28] jamiejackson: AH.. ok.. you have an older card that's why.. I didn't realize it was of that vintage. so the driver you're using is the correct one but how did you install it? via tty with no gui running? [04:28] commaCamel: check to see that you have libdvdcss2 and libdvdread3 installed [04:28] MikeChelen: envy-ng gives me the same crashes as the ubuntu-included restricted drivers do [04:29] fccf: I do, as i've done the command many times [04:29] scunizi: yes, no x running, through ssh or tty [04:29] jamiejackson: if envy is still installed you need to uninstall it before attempting to install the driver directly.. envy isn't good even the ng version [04:29] commaCamel: have you tried VLC [04:30] fccf: my problem still lies in the fact that the dvd won't mount, are these the same issue as having the packages? [04:30] fccf: i have vlc installed, but i have no mounted dvd [04:31] hi when I try to synce my wm2003 device, I get an error saying that hal is not fully implemented, any help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7409086#post7409086 is the full error [04:31] scunizi: i believe i removed envyng before trying the nvidia site's installer [04:31] Hello. How do you tell what format of DVD your DVD-RW needs? [04:31] commaCamel: have you tried installing the restricted drivers? it may help... [04:31] Unislash: i just did yes [04:31] commaCamel: technically ubuntu doesn't mount a dvd the same way as a cd, it reads directly off the disk ie /dev/dvd as opposed to /media/cdrom [04:32] is there a way to enable wireless at boot instead of after you log in? [04:32] Hello. How do you tell what format my DVD-RW needs, i.e. + R or -R? [04:32] jamiejackson: if you have the means upgrading to a 6000 series card or jump to the 9000 series would do you wonders. There are some deals out there. [04:32] fccf: well a mount command just attaches the cd/dvd filesystem to a different point in the whole fs hierarchy correct? [04:33] scunizi, are you talking nvidia? [04:33] jamiejackson: also after installing the driver you can run nvidia-xconfig and then run nvidia-settings [04:33] voss: yes [04:33] Hello. How do you tell what format my DVD-RW needs, i.e. + R or -R? [04:33] commaCamel: yes, however a movie dvd cannot be mounted as a filesystem if it is going to play in a player [04:33] voss: jamiejackson has an older card where the nvidia driver crashes the system [04:33] the 9400 can be had for under $50 [04:33] scunizi: prob is i've got two of these (donated) cards i'm tryijng to get going on two systems, and i'm poor [04:34] jamiejackson: then you might consider just using the generic nv driver. You'll miss the "effects" but it will probably run fine. [04:34] How do you tell what format my DVD-RW needs, i.e. + R or -R? [04:34] jamie, agp, pci, or pci-e/ [04:34] fccf: so one thing i keep seeing...from a manual mount command or the vlc's default dvd open command the file is /dev/sr0, shouldnt it be /dev/dvd? [04:35] mdg: Check the front of the tray [04:35] mdg: most multiformat DVD-RW's can use both [04:35] is there a way to enable wireless at boot instead of after you log in? [04:35] nv does run fine, but boring, scunizi, is it the best i can hope for? [04:35] voss: agp [04:35] Flannel: I can't read it - [04:35] mdg: Try lspci? [04:36] commaCamel: again no, /dev/sr0 is the right place for VLC .. Totem may see it differently [04:36] jamiejackson: unless it's a bios setting that's causing your issues then, yes.. it's the best you can do. Unless you want to try an even older driver off nvidia's site [04:36] jamie which model nvidia card? [04:37] hi when I try to synce my wm2003 device, I get an error saying that hal is not fully implemented, any help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7409086#post7409086 is the full error [04:37] Hey I got something not related to ubuntu but I need help with [04:37] is there a way to enable wireless at boot instead of after you log in? [04:37] hunterrose: try #ubuntu-offtopic [04:37] japnix: yah use wicd :P [04:37] fccf: this is what VLC says " DVDRead could not open the disk "/dev/sr0"" [04:37] voss: I think he said 5200.. use TAB to complete his nick so it's highlighted and he'll respond directly [04:38] FAj: how do i go about that [04:38] yeah, voss, 5200. [04:38] japnix: sudo apt-get install wicd if on jaunty+ [04:38] Anyone know when we are getting Ruby 1.9? [04:39] how do i use it ? [04:39] anybody here knows how to get standalone aptana working on 9.04? [04:39] FAJ: A quick google search: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6258719&postcount=6 for 8.10, may or may not help you but says nothing about "wicd" [04:39] Flannel: Nope - [04:39] commaCamel: you get the same result in totem? [04:41] fccf: I really can't figure out how to 'open' a dvd in totem [04:41] fccf: there is only open and open locatino [04:42] commaCamel, have you tried Mplayer? [04:42] chris__: hi [04:42] commaCamel: again wierd, I have 2 lines of play disk in totem [04:42] Any other way to determine if it needs DVD+R or DVR-R? [04:43] Solarswordsman: unfortunately same error as here: sudo apt-get install synce-hal librra0-tools librapi2-tools [04:43] Solarswordsman: oops, sorry, same error as original post [04:43] commaCamel, also you want to sudo apt-get install libdvdread4 then sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh also you want to install the ubuntu -restricted-extras [04:43] fccf: do you know of a good explanation of how dvds work in ubuntu, as in previous versions of ubuntu, the disks have appeared to 'mount' and actually show up as an icon on the desktop [04:44] commaCamel: should be no different now. if they don't mount there's no way to play them. [04:44] Can anynody help me clarify a question of samba, cifs and ubuntu? [04:44] Rafael: Just ask the question and if anyone can answer we will :) [04:45] scunizi: right, thats what i'm guessing, thats the root of my issue is that i cant get them to mount === ivantis_ is now known as ivantis [04:45] FAJ:Ahhhhh... well then I have no idea :P [04:45] scunizi: i just am stuck there i guess [04:46] commaCamel: I haven't figured mine out either.. doesn't happen often but when it does it's aggravating [04:46] DVD+R or DVD-R? [04:46] Solarswordsman: ah ok lol [04:46] scunizi: so yours will auto-mount occasionally? [04:47] I have to go -- cu later [04:47] hey i wasn't sure where to go for this, but in gnome-do w/ opensearch plugins, how do i change the search engine used?

[04:50] What do I run it on? [04:50] the rsync process? [04:51] imperfect, yes ionice the rsync process [04:52] imperfect, but i do hear your pain. It seems the kernel I/O scheduler in ubuntu has gotten worse and worse for handling I/O bound tasks and maintaing interactive performance [04:53] lol [04:53] nope [04:53] many processes actives and more swap on!!!

[06:03] jon5001 -> just to test if the vista responds [06:03] trix`G: For example, a number of older programs need you to change what type of windows Wine is running it under. [06:03] phobiac: Thanks, that much I figured, I was more curious about the default success rate I suppose. I'm setting up a system that will also be used by people unfamiliar with linux and they wont know how to change wine settings [06:03] trix`G: And some might even need to be run in a virtual desktop window so that they can run at a lower resolution.

[06:05] Checkie: It means that file isn't there [06:05] esta lleno y no se entiende nada [06:05] oh wow, its going too fast here for a response, nm. i'll look somewhere else my god! [06:05] Checkie: It's possible you downloaded a corrupted image, or there was an issue in writing to the drive.

[06:05] I want to run galculator by entering calc in the termina [06:05] how can I do that [06:05] yadunand -> typically rules are empty, so just flush em [06:05] ensay_, the problem is, i think i screwed it up with firestarter....and now i cant share my internet with my friends over wlan0 [06:05] Checkie: Hmmm, the permissions may be wrong. [06:05] fccf: assuming it was working correctly, "/dev/sr0" should be listed in /etc/mtab right? [06:06] yadunand -> i dont think thats the default, internet sharing [06:06] ensay_, n00b hea.... please can u give me the commands ?? [06:06] fccf: if that is true i will pursue that google search [06:06] phobiac: I copied the image two different ways to the drive. The result is the same. [06:06] yadunand -> sudo iptables -F [06:06] Checkie: I have no idea what the permission of the file /should/ be, but as it's just a live image, I'd set it to 755 or above with chmod and see if that works. [06:06] fccf: maybe ubuntu-server has better default settings =P [06:06] phobiac: The permissions are -rw-r--r--. [06:06] yadunand -> you have to understand the implication of that, that clears all the rules [06:06] Checkie: The image may be corrupt then. How'd you download it? [06:07] silv3r_m00n, is gcalculator the actual program name? [06:07] ensay_, well ...when i got 9.04 installed clean... and i made an ad-hoc wifi conn....no one had any trouble connecting to it.... now after i fiddled with firestarter.. no one can connect [06:07] commaCamel: no, you won't find anything relating to the cdrom in mtab [06:07] Checkie: Like I said, I have no idea what they should be. What are the permissions of the other files in the folder? It should probably be the same. [06:07] phobiac: Once from the website... the second time around, I used unetbootin. [06:07] is there a way to set a hot key that hides the panels on my desktop? I want to use a shortcut key to mimic using the show hide arrows on a panel. [06:07] bastidrazor: its galculator and it's the actual program [06:07] trans: perhaps - yet i am running a full desktop [06:08] ensay_, isn't there a way to set it back to the original state ... i mean there is no config file ??? [06:08] phobiac: Permissions on all other files in the directory are the same (644). I'll change to 755 and test. BRB. [06:08] Checkie: I'd download the torrent. Torrent clients check the integrity of a file, so you'll know you have the write image. [06:08] trans: are you using a vncserver you installed or are you using the one that comes by default with ubuntu? [06:08] yadunand -> thats the default, no rules, but to share the connection, you have to configure the rules again [06:09] Couldn't find package tightvncserver [06:09] fccf: i'm using vnc4server [06:09] silv3r_m00n, what does this command give you :: which galculator [06:09] ensay_, ohhk....so if i flush it ....i get my system back to the way it was after a clean install ,huh ?.... [06:09] bastidrazor: it gives me the calculator ....I just want to be able to execute the same command by name calc.... somekind of linking [06:09] symlinks [06:09] how do I do that [06:09] the ln command I guess [06:10] silv3r_m00n, i'm going to give that to you i need to know where the file is located [06:10] yadunand -> yes, but it will not allow internet connection sharing [06:10] ensay_, thanks a million.... i'll try that... and will let u know [06:10] so, by the lack of responses i guess, there is still no solution in ubuntu 9.04 to display the actual folder size in list view for all folders, instead of the number of it's contents ... y/n? [06:10] ensay_, if its back to the original stage...i can bring it around...i know that part.... thanks a lot again... [06:10] yadunand -> am assuming your ubuntu is used as the router/gateway [06:10] bastidrazor: /usr/bin/galculator [06:10] i gotta go try it [06:10] Asagrim: have you looked at man ls?

I am trying to create a new background on them, and I cannot get it to go onto both of the desktops, it only stays in the middle of both of them. What am I doing wrong? [06:13] muzikjock58: what would ipv6 have to do with that? [06:13] oh well, tis a sacrifice i will live with =) [06:13] read in forum. [06:13] trans: well I like to come back to my desktop the way I left it [06:14] When I made the Twinview setup, the background on the one monitor was copied to the other one, but it won't work with a new background. [06:14] disabling ipv6 helps in streaming and flash viewing. they both are ok for a minute then stop [06:14] when you disable it [06:14] tightvncserver: Depends: xbase-clients but it is not going to be installed [06:14] jmk6f4: Can you elaborate on the process? [06:14] what is this? [06:14] how do i move all the files from one directory into another (preferably overwriting only if the former directory is newer)?

[06:14] Jeruvy: Which process would you like me to elaborate on? :) [06:14] i've tried various combinations of mv options from reading the manual but can't figure it out [06:15] ensay_, pinging the vista produces no result. terminal just says pinging... 56(84) bytes of data and stops there. no further action [06:15] jmk6f4: just what you're trying to do :) [06:15] its happend i noticed after the latest ff3 update. and i cant figure out why i cant stream anything! [06:15] I keep getting "mv: cannot move `test1' to `test2': Directory not empty" [06:15] ethereality: You could probably do a mv /path/to/folder/*.* /path/to/destination [06:15] fccf: hehe yeah this computer is headless. I have a desktop with 3 monitors and have one monitor dedicated to a vnc session to this computer (but i can also put windows overtop of it and copy and paste easily between the computers) =) [06:15] thanks, i'll try that [06:15] i cant even stream internet radio using mplayer from the command line! [06:15] ethereality: I'd check that though on two test folders, make sure it doesn't mess up. [06:15] works for few minutes then stops [06:16] Jeruvy: Well I am trying to make one 1280x1024 background show up on BOTH monitors in Twinview. It currently is just sitting halfway on both monitors ( in the actual middle of both of them ). [06:16] i didnt have this issue before. [06:16] its not my router, because my laptop works fine [06:16] using same router [06:16] Jeruvy: Previously, when I went to set up Twinview from a one monitor setup, the background was copied from one monitor to the other, but now with a new background it won't do it. [06:16] trans: you might consider x2vnc - allows you to use 1 kb across multiple machines/heads [06:16] btw, if anyone was wondering, the problem with not having any alsa devices was because i was for some reason not a member of the "audio" group [06:17] laptop using wireless and my desktop using ethernet. on same router [06:17] laptop streams fine using jaunty [06:17] muzikjock58: try reinstalling ff3 perhaps ? [06:17] jmk6f4: "I went to setup Twinview from a one monitor to another" monitors? [06:17] May I ask a vbox question here? [06:17] Jeruvy: Yes, meaning that I HAD a one monitor setup, just like normal, and I enabled Twinview after setting up another monitor. [06:17] i deleted my ff profile, and that didnt help so i dont see reinstalling ff helping either [06:18] scream: go for it [06:18] jmk6f4: my question was "What make/model of monitors"? [06:18] Linux host, linux client. I have the network set for bridged adapter. ssh is running on the guest, however, I am unable to ssh into 127.0.0.1 [06:18] fccf: kinda like synergy? yeah i think i prefer to be able to use all 3 monitors if i want with then one computer =) thanks anyways though [06:18] Jeruvy: Oh, I'm sorry. They are not the same monitor, one is a Dell and the other is a MAG, one is a 19 inch and the other a 17 respectively. [06:18] hellwo n00buntu roomie :) [06:19] How to switch between gdm and kdm ?

[06:19] any idea why my keyboard layout when vnc to my server is different [06:19] Checkie: Well, that's strange. [06:19] ensay_, you still there? [06:19] Checkie: What was the error again? [06:19] yes [06:19] fccf, yeah, the VM is running on the host that I am sitting at, so connecting to localhost should have worked. At this point I'm confused. [06:19] Jeruvy: Yes sir! Both work perfectly together, the mouse goes flawlessly from one to the other. It's just I don't know how to get the background to be in both monitors. [06:19] Checkie: Also, what is the model of your computer? It may help in finding a solution.

[06:21] anyone know how to fix keyboard layout issue? i am using vnc from win xp to my ubuntu server desktop [06:21] Jeruvy: I was pretty sure that I had been able to do this before, but I will definitely try and look on Launchpad and I will search the forums a little bit for this issue. [06:21] basically, i want to rename the 'base' directory that all these subfolders reside in [06:22] scream have you give it a port number after the ip address? [06:22] jmk6f4: there have been many regressions in video support, worth checking.

[06:35] ensay_, i am able to remote desktopn. but not share files yet. still headed in the right direction [06:35] Jeruvy, I made a sym link from libstdc++.so.5 to libstdc++.so.6.0.9(my latest). the app got farther, but then could not find GLIBCPP_3.2 or CXXABI_1.2. I searched for versions of these files and could not find them either. So, it looks like I need to install libstdc++5. [06:36] scunizi: don't get me wrong - but that was the -first- thing I did some 2+ days ago when this problem came up... ;=) [06:36] Verminator: or create more symlinks...I'd try and install 5 and see what shakes. [06:36] hello [06:36] i.e. been using nvidia-settings with sudo since then... [06:36] can anyone help me solve a problem with internet streaming in hardy heron? its not ff3, and its not my router. my laptop streams fine. and i got jaunty on it. running wireless on same router. any ideas? what do i check. ive blacklisted ipv6 like i saw in some forums. didnt help. i deleted my ff3 profile and started over, didnt help, whats the problem in hardy? its on a ethernet connection to the same router as my laptop! [06:37] frybye: sorry.. I just saw your last post.. came in late. check out xrandr and it's manipulation for setting the rez.. [06:37] well - perhaps I am not right with this - mostly I have started it with gksu nividia-settings is that the same as sudo??? [06:37] frybye: unless you've already done that too. :) [06:37] frybye: yes [06:37] frybye: there's also nvidia-xconfig [06:37] Could someone help me how to update from 8.10 to 9.04, please? [06:37] ok - I will have another go at the xrandr [06:37] frybye: did you also do the nvidia-xconfig? [06:38] greenwood: Have you tried update-manager -d ? [06:38] update manager -d? [06:38] Jeruvy, yeah, that's my next move. but will have to wait till tomorrow. I need to stop for now. Thanks for the help. I appreciate it. [06:38] ??? [06:39] Does -d mean a special flag? [06:39] oh sorry [06:39] muzikjock58: Yes, it means to update to the newest distribution release I believe. [06:39] greenwood: So if you are on 8.10, it should show up that there is a new version available ( 9.04 ) and you should be able to update to it from there. [06:39] how do you install the kde desktop? [06:40] well i dont really want to update hardy as it is supposed to be an LTS. i want to keep hardy on my desktop, i only have jaunty on my laptop [06:40] apt-get install kde [06:40] patriconway: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [06:40] apt-get install kubuntu-desktop* [06:40] thanks @julio14 scunizi [06:40] hi, off topic, where to find a new & good 3rd party software for ubuntu and it is update everyday? [06:40] muzikjock58: Sorry if I confused you but I wasn't meaning to talk to you, that probably won't help your situation. :) [06:40] patriconway: both julio14 way and mine will work.. julio14 will not pull in all the other packages for kubuntu [06:41] unitedpotsmokers: what do you mea? [06:41] mean* [06:41] but if i cant solve my internet streaming issues i might just have to do that and i hate to [06:41] yes, I could see "New distribution release 9.04 is available" -- Upgrade ... Do you mean that? === chaky_ is now known as chaky [06:41] Uh, Hi #Ubuntu [06:41] i never had success updating distributions , just fresh installs [06:41] greenwood: Yes sir! That will update everything to 9.04, but allow you to keep your files the same. [06:41] I was wondering if any gurus in here would be willing to take a semi-newb under his or her wing [06:41] greenwood, yes [06:42] PROject-Emerald Just shoot with your question [06:42] muzikjock58: I have had varied results, sometimes it works perfectly and other times it stabs me in the back. It's just your decision. :) [06:42] Thanks a lot .. I'm doing it now .. :P [06:42] greenwood: Good luck! [06:42] patriconway: I just kinda wanna find someone who will teach me a majority of what is to know with Linux [06:42] PROject-Emerald: it would best if you would explain in detail you problems - so we can better analize [06:42] is there a channel i can ask a question about a router on this network for [06:43] that [06:43] v3trae, i always view webupd8.blogspot.com and it will show to us a new & good software for ubuntu... but for me, it is not enough i want more [06:43] ensay_, all up and running again. even though i played around and figured out the norton thing, you stimulated the thoughts. i appreciate your help [06:43] tightvncserver: completely wrong keyboard-layout after logon to gnome [06:43] i keep getting "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To Open a new window, you must first close the existing FireFox process, or restart your system" i have tried "killall firefox" and tried restarting but i still get the same message [06:43] any solution? [06:43] i updated when i had fiesty and went to update. it was so bad i had to roll back to fiesty. from then on i did fresh installs. [06:43] unitedpotsmokers: ah, no idea, i always just install what i need =P [06:43] See you .. Bye .. I'm coming back when I find something difficult .. :P .. But, I'll try to solve it myself first .. :-D [06:44] jon5001 -> no problem, were here to hopefully steer you to the right directions "P [06:44] k4r1m: Can you do a ps axf | grep firefox? [06:44] is there a way to save my session when I log out to reboot? I remember ubuntu being able to do this before in the past, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it in jaunty [06:44] how do I find out what version of ubuntu I'm using? [06:44] PROject-Emerald see my private message [06:44] unitedpotsmokers: more - as in pack another bowl... or ...??? [06:44] oh... it is ok v3trae, but if u free, visit that blog, very nice application for ubuntu available there, sometimes they teach us some tutorials [06:44] hubar_: 5487 pts/0 S+ 0:00 \_ grep firefox [06:44] help please? can anyone tell me how to open aljazeera live stream tv on vlc from www.aljazeera.net? thanx [06:44] I am trying to use a program i got from Synaptic, rtpg-www. However I get "Invalid command 'SCGIMount'" error when I try to restart apache [06:44] you can also update distributions to 9.04 using gui [06:44] k4r1m: then run firefox? [06:44] hi fccf [06:45] dont have to use cli [06:45] nope still same message [06:45] Just type firefox on your terminal. [06:45] anyone know what I am doing wrong? [06:45] Donot use the guiicon. [06:45] Randabis: You should be able to go to System > Preferences > startup applications [06:46] Randabis: And under Options, is a checkbox for remembering programs when logging out. [06:46] Wolf23, im not sure, but to me i add the url [06:46] Verminator: np still be here :) [06:46] u search aljazeera url internet tv [06:46] Oh .. one more thing ... how could I log out of this room? [06:46] jmk6f4: thanks so much. :) They changed it up. I remember in the past I used to just check a box when I logged out to save session [06:46] greenwood: /part [06:46] i guess no one is versed in internet problems in ubuntu i will continue to google. but i havent found a solution there [06:46] hubar_: tried [06:47] k4r1m: there is a lock file in the mozilla directory. It may be leftover from a previous session & you may need to delete it. [06:47] unitedpotsmokers: can u find for me the mms:// url please? [06:47] Randabis: I completely understand, I actually didn't know for a second as I don't use that option, but it was in relatively the same place as it was. :) Glad I could help! [06:47] losher: where is that at? [06:47] is there a channel i can ask a question about a router on this network [06:47] muzikjock58: try ubuntuforums.org [06:48] and if there is not , can someone direct me to a network where i can...? :) [06:48] k4r1m: in your home directory, .mozilla/firefox//lock [06:48] to those that tried to help, thank you. im out! have a good day, night evening where ever you are at. ! [06:48] I'll brb guys, gotta reboot and go into windows for a few minutes [06:48] myself: try #yourrouter, but it may not exist :) [06:48] myself: what's the question? [06:48] losher: k will try [06:48] myself: try #networking [06:48] networking ok [06:48] thank you :) [06:48] Np [06:48] Thanks you .. [06:48] the question is why it closes a port after a while [06:48] like of a few days being on, then i have to restart it, port forwarding is off [06:49] myself: if upnp is enabled and something opens the port then when the program stop/exits the port will close [06:49] Check that all cables are secured tightly [06:49] upnp is disabled actually [06:49] myself: have you manually forwarded the port to the machine you want? [06:50] losher: i dont see a lock under randomstring.default... could it be cuz i created a new profile? i was creating a debug profile for aptana... [06:50] myself: another possibility is a bug in the firmware. Did google show anything? Also try the forums on www.dslreports.com [06:50] i see, well, frimware is latest [06:50] Wolf23, i'm sorry my friend because i never watch aljazeera, i only hearr the internet radio.. [06:51] ah ok [06:51] tightvncserver: completely wrong keyboard-layout after logon to gnome [06:51] any solution? [06:51] k4r1m: sorry, I'm out of my depth at this point too... [06:51] myself: also if you have a dynamic ip address on the machine the port is suppose to forward to and that ip changes the port will appear closed. [06:51] hmm [06:51] i think my ip address stays the same, but how do i find out btw? [06:52] myself: ifconfig [06:52] scunizi has a good point, you can also check with whatismyip.com [06:52] hola [06:52] !es | carlitos [06:52] carlitos: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [06:52] ... [06:52] Wow. Maybe he was just saying hello? [06:52] myself: oh, find out if you have a static ip? if you didn't configure one, you don't have one. [06:53] losher: it was the new profile i created yeah... i dunno why but it i need to sudo to delete it and when i checked profiles.ini it seemed like it was trying to launch that profile as the default profile which is weird but now its all good [06:53] hola carlitos :) [06:53] !english | ubottu [06:53] libtech: The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [06:53] hmm well [06:53] PROject-Emerald: sorry, didn't mean to sound abrupt... [06:53] i have a certain IP that the router sees [06:53] but i have a different IP on the net [06:53] k4r1m: glad that solved it! [06:53] sorry im not good with routers [06:54] myself: yes [06:54] myself: Jeruvy also has a good point .. however whatismyip will display the ip facing the world not your internal ip. If you're setting things up so you or someone can access from the outside world and that ip changes, the same condition applies. the port won't forward [06:54] losher: yeah i still need to figure out to make a custom profile for aptana :D [06:54] myself: the router assigns an IP on your local network [06:54] hey guys, off topic, what is a software to watch internet tv in ubuntu? [06:54] miro? [06:54] that internal ip stays the same [06:54] unitedpotsmokers: vlc will do it.. hulu.com.. boxie etc [06:54] unitedpotsmokers: miro is junk ... hulu.com rocks [06:55] but if my outside ip changes, then the port will close? [06:55] myself: yep [06:55] okay, how do i find out if it changes [06:55] myself: give your computer a static IP on the network [06:55] how do i do that [06:55] myself: well not really, but since the IP changes it accomplishes the same, to check use the link I gave you [06:55] myself: not really.. the port will be open but someone trying to get in won't be contacting the right machine because someone else will have your previous ip address [06:55] hmm === joshthecoder is now known as joshthecoder_afk [06:56] i know how to set up a static IP in windows, not sure about ubuntu [06:56] libtech: it is easer in ubuntu [06:56] well yeah im on ubuntu [06:56] so how do i check whether my ip is static or not [06:56] i opened ipconfig [06:56] fccf: of course! :) [06:57] i mean, and, all i have to do is reset my router and modem for the port to open again, when it closes [06:57] thanks guys [06:57] for some reason, my firefox is going _really really slowly_. I haven't capped my bandwidth, in Windows it works fine, all other applications work just fine, but FF never seems to actually load more than like, 10 KiB of a web page, and conky says that my network connection is never active downloading more than 10 KiB/sec (torrenting and IRC, I'm sure) [06:57] Is there any way to see CPU temperature in terminal? [06:58] look at network connections, go to the ipv4 tab [06:58] myself: you have a dynamic ip address currently your outside ip address is 99.24.221.32 - if you reboot your router it will change [06:58] libtech, was that for me? [06:58] goose: sorry [06:58] that was for "myself" [06:58] goose, i have the same problem too [06:58] wait.. but... so i dont understand why my ip would just change while my computer is still on [06:58] lol, sounded like a possible solution to my problem libtech [06:58] and close the port [06:59] unitedpotsmokers, have you made any progress on it? [06:59] myself: let me try to be more clear since I'm not doing a great job so far....if your router handles Internal IP's via DHCP then let it do so. If your router can 'reserve' IPs for MAC addresses then configure it that way. Then static IP your important machines to correspond to the router. [06:59] myself: I think you're still a little confused.. the ip facing the world is like the front door to your house. Your internal ip is like the door to your bedroom. After getting to the front door the router is like a butler giving instructions on how to get to your bedroom. If you move to a new house (new ip facing the world) and you don't tell anyone, nobody will visit. the butler is still there giving instructions but nobody is knockin [06:59] myself: if your isp sneezes - your ipadress will change on the outside world.. your internal ip address stays the same [07:00] goose, i dont know how to fix it, it happend in ubuntu, when i open 3 or 4 tabs at the same time, it will hung & crash.... then i try in windows, same too [07:00] scunizi: lol nice analogy [07:00] i see.. but if i want to keep my privacy would I want to have a static ip address, or does it not matter? [07:00] libtech: I knew someone would appriciate it.. :) [07:00] now i used opera, untill firefox fix the bugs or try to install a new version later [07:00] scunizi: yeah, nice one... [07:01] unitedpotsmokers, I've noticed that too, opening more than a few FF tabs crashes the entire OS. imho, 8.10 was much more stable [07:01] myself: for privacy you don't open the port at all.. opening ports can be risky [07:01] i see well, i mean, if someone wanted to track my downloads and stuff [07:01] it would be easier if i had a static ip, right? [07:01] Are there any nice free TV streaming sites for Linux? [07:01] myself: no.. [07:01] Like, Hulu, but for crappier connections? [07:01] myself: google tor for a privacy solution. [07:01] myself: the static IP is only visible on your network [07:02] myself: its all relative, but we're moving the convo in a whole different direction. [07:02] wait, but my external ip, the one i dont want to change so the port won't close, can i do that? [07:02] <3 static ips [07:02] or is that lways changing [07:02] *always [07:02] myself: you have no control on the outside ip.. your isp does [07:02] oh i see... [07:02] myself: we don't know from the info you've provided. But you can take steps to prevent internal IPs from changing [07:03] hello [07:03] i think the internal ip stays the same [07:03] static dhcp in some routers [07:03] goose, so how u fix this problem... i think this problem not only happen to us, many people had a same problem ...maybe [07:03] internal ip's can be static for port forwarding and such [07:03] <1 static ip lots of open ports... but if you look at port 80 you will see that it is a church and everybody is welcome [07:03] what was the old network manager for ubuntu before it changed it? because I do not like the new one. [07:03] fccf: amen [07:04] unitedpotsmokers, like I said, I didn't have the problem on 8.10. I may just revert back to it until 9.10 comes out. I still have the problem right now. [07:04] what would the setting be called, on my router, i have a belkin (if that helps anyone) to see if my internal ip address is static, or can i see it in terminal [07:05] i mean, i think it's set static, cause , i cant even edit anything but the last digit of the ip in the menu where to open ports in virtual servers [07:05] myself, network connections, look at the ipv4 tab [07:05] hi [07:05] myself... your internal ip is currently assinged by dhcp - you will see that if your go to the ipv4 tab of network-admin [07:05] network connections where? [07:05] goose: what problem is htat ? === Ose is now known as Guest93885 [07:05] goose, so are u sure when u go back to intrepid it will solve this problem? why not u try an older version of firefox? [07:05] network connections in what menu? [07:05] what was the old network manager for ubuntu before it changed it? because I do not like the new one. [07:05] hi [07:05] Hello Guest93885 [07:06] Syrius, What's wrong with the new one? [07:06] also because I have to learn how to use a new one [07:06] Syrius, for some reason, my firefox is going _really really slowly_. I haven't capped my bandwidth, in Windows it works fine, all other applications work just fine, but FF never seems to actually load more than like, 10 KiB of a web page, and conky says that my network connection is never active downloading more than 10 KiB/sec (torrenting and IRC, I'm sure) [07:06] myself: network connections is under preferences [07:06] many people said firefox 2 is the best, it load fast...but im not really sure... [07:06] because I have to learn how to use another network manager DSpair [07:06] i need a list of proxies to us with proxychains [07:06] i dont see a ipv4 tab [07:06] also I can not get it to work for static ip addresses DSpair === Guest93885 is now known as Sems [07:06] i see wired,wireless, moblie broadband, vpn, and dsl [07:06] with the old one it was really easy [07:06] hi [07:07] Syrius, What is there to learn. The configuration is the same as the old one with the exception that you can now configure cellular devices and VPNs. [07:07] Sems: tor [07:07] can someone please help me out [07:07] myself: try editing the connection for the network you are on [07:07] ok [07:07] Sems: that is seriously offtopic for this channel [07:07] . [07:07] tor [07:07] DSpair: well it does not work for me to make static ip address [07:07] okay i seee it, im in ipv4 settings [07:07] would tor work with nmap [07:07] haha [07:07] Syrius, Static IP addresses are easily handled. Right click on the NetworkManager icon in the system tray, select connection settings. [07:07] and it says Automatic (DHCP) [07:07] and nothing else [07:07] [x] available to all users [07:07] I tired a lot of different settings and it does not work DSpair [07:07] that means you have a dynamic internal IP [07:08] I already know that DSpair [07:08] how do i set it static [07:08] I am not stupid [07:08] Syrius, Scratch that, "Edit Connections" is what you want. [07:08] change that tab to manual [07:08] the program sucks [07:08] Syrius: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:08] and what do i write [07:08] Syrius, I'm confused then. It's hardly different at all since Gutsy. [07:08] would tor work with nmap [07:08] I already know how to edit it DSpair [07:08] do i set it to the ip address for which the port is open in my router? [07:09] when it was on feisty DSpair [07:09] myself; type ifconfig to find out what your current ipadress [07:09] what was the network manager called DSpair [07:09] someone please help me out [07:09] I want to switch [07:09] i need to run a scan of a network anonymously [07:09] ipconfig does not work [07:09] wait yes it does [07:09] hehe okay, so [07:09] Syrius, It was still called NetworkManager, but I'm pretty sure the one on Feisty was the last version before DBUS support and autoconfiguration. [07:09] sems: run a scan, like a port scan? [07:09] i see the inet addr: [07:09] thats the one right? [07:09] myself: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:09] yeah [07:09] but with nmap [07:10] and other vulnerability scanners [07:10] no it wasn't DSpair [07:10] I am possitive [07:10] hola [07:10] but i need to do this anonymously [07:10] i see inet addr, bcast, which one is it? [07:10] Syrius, OK, I guess I can't help you then. [07:10] myself 123.45.678.1 some thing like that [07:10] #ubuntu.es [07:10] feisty was the first ubuntu release I used [07:10] yeah but there are multiple numbers like that ,i mean i know what an ip address looks like [07:10] fccf, That's not a valid IP. [07:10] but theres inet addr: and then theres bcast: [07:10] Dspair I know [07:11] sems: why would nmap not work with tor, and what is your goal? [07:11] myself inet addr [07:11] thanks for your help though DSpair [07:11] fccf, OK, just making sure. Some people here might get confused. [07:11] okay, so do i add that number into my ipv4 settings? [07:11] why does ubuntu remove and change programs like that DSpair it is really annoying [07:11] Syrius, Well, If I understood what your problem was better, I may be able to assist more. [07:11] like they removed alsconf [07:11] Dspair 255.255.255.255 ipv4 limit [07:11] that was not cool of them [07:12] alsaconf [07:12] goal is to run vulnerability accessement [07:12] should I add that currrent ip address into my ipv4 settings? [07:12] manual, to make it static? [07:12] Syrius, They didn't remove it. They updated to the latest version which was released by the developers. [07:12] i would try tor out [07:12] como entro a ubuntu es ? [07:12] yes they did DSpair [07:12] fccf [07:12] myself - make it static - but before you do check your router [07:12] what should i check [07:12] they did in the 8.10 release [07:12] Sems: why would you need a proxy, unless your trying to mask you're attempts? [07:12] it even says so online [07:13] myself .. actually your gateway will be the router's ip address internally [07:13] carlitos: sencillamente, tecla /join #ubuntu-es [07:13] graxxxx [07:13] gracias [07:13] DSpair: try entering in alsaconf and you will know that it was removed [07:13] Syrius, I beg to differ. I've been using Ubuntu since 6.04 and NetworkManager has always been NetworkManager. [07:13] yeah [07:13] i know the routers ip address cause i use a web browser to access it fccf [07:13] do anyone could make gnomeartng work ? [07:13] i am trying to mask my attempts, am taking CEH [07:13] DSpair: it doesn't work the same [07:13] so i am trying to run accessments [07:14] and subnet mask is 255.255.255.x - x being the 3rd set of numbers -- usually 0 or 1 [07:14] so i just use that as the gateway [07:14] myself yes [07:14] thanks Jeruvy [07:14] is tork the same as tor [07:14] Syrius, What do you need alsaconf for anyhow? I haven't used it in years. [07:14] the subnet mask, the last number, seems to be 0 on mine [07:14] then was is it the menu and settings is way different then DSpair [07:14] Sems: good luck [07:14] myself then that is correct [07:15] okay so i think i have it, now i click apply? [07:15] and it will change automatically? [07:15] thanks J [07:15] DSpair: because it is good to use when you screwed up your volume [07:15] I am trying to mount windows directory in my Ubuntu 9.04 installed in virtual box with the command mount -t cifs //192.168.1.29/SONGS /mnt/mydir but there is error. [07:15] myself: yes - we may loose connection for a sec [07:15] or that another program does [07:15] Syrius, Why not use alsamixer or alsactl? [07:15] piye [07:15] devD, What's the error? [07:15] un that does not auto adjust it DSpair === ripps_ is now known as ripps [07:15] for you [07:16] ubuntu stopped notifying me of updates.. how I fix it pls? [07:16] in there you have to manually do it [07:16] !opera [07:16] opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser.

[07:16] DSpair, its http://pastebin.com/m78c788b6 [07:16] Syrius, I guess I just don't understand what it is you're trying to do then. [07:16] DSpair: to reset to the default settings [07:17] PROject-Emerald: you could try nmap support for real, but ask your q? [07:17] devD, You need to install smbfs "aptitude install smbfs" [07:17] !id > nunet [07:17] nunet, please see my private message [07:17] Syrius, restarting the alsa service should accomplish that as well, as an option. [07:17] DSpair, ok thanks , I am doing that [07:17] how can I install opera on 9.04? [07:17] project, i can use nmap [07:17] am good with it [07:17] What's the best command to use for port scanning a box for "non-malicious" purposes? And I use non-malicious lightly [07:18] depends on what you want to do [07:18] how can I install msn [07:18] Pidgin. nuff said [07:18] PROject-Emerald, nmap is the best port scanner around. If you don't want to be too sneaky, use a TCP connect scan. [07:18] anyone pls? [07:18] !amsn | lunux [07:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about amsn [07:18] lunux: sudo apt-get install amsn..

I usually do nmap -p T:ports [07:18] lunux: sudo apt-get install amsn [07:19] so, got a dell mini 10 with the ubuntu mobile PSB drivers on here, unfortunately firefox runs like dog crap and xorg starts to use a ton of CPU while the CPU appears to be 'dual core' (one of the new atoms) )ss) it's starting to bug the crap out of me any toiips? [07:19] PROject-Emerald: also, if you go port scanning random boxes on the internet, you may find people complaining to your isp [07:19] Not random boxes [07:19] ubuntu stopped notifying me of updates.. how I fix it pls? [07:19] * DSpair hates insomnia. [07:19] how can I install opera on 9.04? [07:19] Boxes I've hand picked... IE people I know [07:19] Jeruvy: do you know? [07:19] TomTommy, I guess nobody here know. Repeating the question over and over will just annoy everyone. [07:19] !info opera | TomTommy [07:20] TomTommy: Package opera does not exist in jaunty [07:20] xorl: have you tried the dell install - available direct from dell [07:20] TomTommy, Have you tried searching on Google? [07:20] I can see what after "a" [07:20] ok [07:20] DSpair: then they need a life coach to learn new life skills if they get annoyed by little old me :) [07:20] I cann't see what [07:20] after "a" [07:20] Bro, amsn [07:20] TomTommy: I know a lot, and nothing. Can you be specific of what you wish to know I know? [07:20] TomTommy: check out getdeb.net or opera's site.. I think opera has a .deb for ubuntu and/or a repository [07:20] A M S N [07:20] TomTommy, Try this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser [07:20] my gosh [07:20] ffcfffccf that's what I am running the dell 9.04 [07:20] Jere`: how can I install opera on 9.04? [07:20] DSpair: ok ty [07:20] hi. i have 2 questions [07:21] 1. does linux have a automation utility like in windows u have autoit and autohotkey? [07:21] wow lol lag [07:21] 2. can i automate button clicks .. key shortcut sequences within Java AWT applications? [07:21] xorl: your terminal is passing strance charectors [07:21] fccf: yeah sorry I have the ubuntu dell ISO straight from there site [07:21] PROject-Emerald: just bear in mind that the smart ones may know they've been scanned, and likely will know where from, and some will consider it an unfriendly act [07:21] TomTommy: I do not think there is an installer for opera on linux distro's. I could be wrong. [07:21] fccf: What do you mean strange characters? [07:21] Zeqq: Yes, you can automate tasks that way, but there are also better ways to automate things in Linux. [07:21] phobiac: Just wanted to let you know... Ubuntu 8.10 x64 works just fine! Thanks for your help. =) [07:21] fccf: you not running a UTF-8 terminal? [07:21] could you tell me about it again? [07:21] losher: I'm mainly trying to teach a friend of mine which ports are open by default, exploitable ones, etc [07:21] Jeruvy: nothing there about 9.04 :( [07:21] Checkie: Good! I'm wondering why 9.04 doesn't though. [07:22] whats another browerser, besides firefox, for ubuntu 9.04? [07:22] xorl: is that why [07:22] i want to automate java AWT based applications ... which are hard to automate in windows [07:22] I have a .tar.bz2 package of the flock browser, and I'll like to create a .deb package out of it, how do I do that? [07:22] PROject-Emerald: send him to one of those web sites that does a free scan & let him find out himself [07:22] #ubuntu-es [07:22] lunux, The easiest way is to Go to "Applications->Internet->Pidgin Internet Messenger", You can add your MSN account from there. [07:22] basically keyboard shortcut sequences and button clicks [07:22] fccf: I don't see weird characters over here, probably why yeah, but this is bugging me to hell [07:22] DSpair, File mounted. Thanks [07:22] ...Ugh, Thanks for the help bro. Appreciate it. -_- My question has been resolved. Much gratitude. nmap send him to one of those web sites that does a free scan & let him find [07:22] that seems effective. [07:22] carlitos: /join #ubuntu-es [07:23] devD, NP, glad to be of assistance. [07:23] thanks,I'll try [07:23] !browsers? [07:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about browsers? [07:23] How do I create a .deb package for a program? [07:24] Omar871: /join #debian [07:24] wonder if it's just the 9.04 support [07:24] system-administration-networkmanager why was that remove and why does it not work well with the new network plugin for gnome panel DSpair? [07:24] xorl: I have tried both the dell-netbook remix and the standard ubuntu-netbook-remix on the dell 9 and haven't had those problems... is it x or a child process using those resources? [07:24] Hi [07:24] it used to be there in the older releases of ubuntu [07:24] hello [07:24] alejandro_09: hodwdy [07:24] Omar871, http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ [07:24] I just download debootstrap from jaunty repository and there is no jaunty script in debootstrap/scripts/ubuntu [07:25] Syrius, I couldn't say.

[07:26] samba i mean [07:26] Don't you think it would be nice if Flock is added to Ubuntu repository? [07:26] DSpair: can automation of java AWT applications using keyboard shortcut sequences etc be done ? if so, how. thanx [07:26] what is flock [07:26] DSpair: were is a how to guide for using this retard network manager for making static ips [07:26] besides firefox and opera. what browser can i use on 9.04 [07:26] Zaqq: Lemme do a quick Google search [07:26] what can I do [07:26] DSpair: ok [07:26] hola [07:26] TomTommy: links [07:26] hola [07:26] TomTommy: this should help http://www.opera.com/download/ [07:27] when ever I tried to use it and make edits to it does work but with the old manager it worked fine [07:27] opera is very nice [07:27] Sems: some kind of browser, descended from firefox. I had to google it... [07:27] Sems: It's a social web browser for Mozilla. Almost a slick, power and exciting as Firefox. [07:27] Arora any good? [07:27] wow [07:27] i would try it out , thanks guys [07:27] Zaqq: Take a look at this tool: http://xmacro.sourceforge.net/ [07:28] ok === diomedesuser is now known as Bjorn_ === Bjorn_ is now known as s|k` [07:28] firefox cannot be beaten [07:28] TomTommy: I didn't say it can. :) [07:28] Zaqq: xmacro is included in the Ubuntu repositories, so installing it is as easy as "sudo aptitude install xmacro" [07:28] !shiretoko [07:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about shiretoko [07:29] !nfo shiretoko [07:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about nfo shiretoko [07:29] it is better to use sudo apt-get install xmarco [07:29] ok thanks [07:29] !info shiretoko [07:29] Package shiretoko does not exist in jaunty [07:29] aptitude has limitations [07:29] sure does [07:29] cjae_: you won't find that here [07:29] what application can i use to download free music === leofric is now known as leofricn [07:29] ? [07:29] Syrius: aptitude is perfectly fine to use. [07:29] how the hell is it on my machine [07:29] Syrius, If it does, I haven't found them yet. [07:29] well I have found out that it can cause problems [07:30] for music [07:30] fccf, please elaborate [07:30] when I was talking to some debian users [07:30] Syrius: it's excellent, actually [07:30] not sure if aptitude does that [07:30] Syrius, The nice side of using aptitude is it integrates all of the features of apt-get, apt-cache, etc... [07:30] really for downloading music ? [07:30] some people asked me why I use apt instead of aptitude [07:30] cjae_: still in early development ...http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/3.1a1/releasenotes/ [07:30] I did research and decided I liked apt better [07:30] i use apt-get [07:30] fccf, there is a preview of it on my machine [07:30] k [07:31] Syrius, And on the back-end, aptitude uses apt-get and dpkg, so it's all the same in the end. [07:31] apt-get same thing [07:31] k [07:31] cjae_: and what version are you running? [07:31] DSpair: the debian users did not recommend it [07:31] to use for everything [07:31] because it does not work the same was as apt-get does [07:31] Syrius, OK, but the Debian users are the most fanatical zealots in the Linux community. They recommend against a LOT of things. [07:31] *way [07:32] fccf, firefox 3.0.10 [07:32] DSpair: word. [07:32] well I like to use one app [07:32] cjae_: it is firefox 3.1a1.0 [07:32] not having to learn a whole bunch ones that I do not have to [07:32] DSpair: such as? [07:33] DigitalKiwi: they do not recommend to use the ubuntu icons [07:33] Syrius, Honestly, ask a Debian user about installing Flash or MP3 support and you'll get a tirade about using only open tools. It's like having an argument with Richard Stallman. There's no talking to a lot of Debian users. [07:33] Syrius: before apt-get got the autoremove switch, aptitude was a step ahead in that area. [07:33] they are against the license that ubuntu uses for its icons [07:33] hey fccf [07:33] myself: you are back [07:33] yeah i sent u a message i think [07:33] s/a lot of debian users/a lot of * users/ [07:33] well it didnt work [07:33] fccf, im running 3.5b4pre and 3.6a is available but you need a repo from launchpad ;) [07:33] i mean , i had to reset my router and modem to try it [07:33] but it didn work , so i put in the automatic settings [07:33] fccf, it says it trying to disable firefox en-GB 3.0.7 and xlrunner and stuff and a check to see if new compatible versions [07:34] it didnt work in the sense that i couldnt get online [07:34] DSpair: but the whole concept behind debian is to use free tools, not proprietary crap. So having that argument is like bashing you're own head against a brick wall because you think you can break it [07:34] well just because it has some more options does not necessarily mean that it is a step ahead a lot of people do not recommend to use autoremove because it can cause a lot of problems like breaking your machine tritium [07:34] cjae_: what version of ubuntu are you running? [07:34] hello all [07:34] man this is anoying I really dont want to have to throw windows back on here lol [07:34] DigitalKiwi, Don't get me wrong. Debian and it's users have done a LOT for the community, but I'm not nearly as hung-up on pure Open Source as they are. I use the tools that get the job done with the least effort and most reliability. Sometimes that means using tools that are not Open Source. [07:35] damned broadcom wireless randomly roams, cpu usage is nuts [07:35] in sidux they do not recommend to use autoreomve tritium [07:35] DSpair: but this is greatly OT for #ubuntu. [07:35] Syrius: that's a matter of opinion [07:35] the devs said it is not a good idea [07:35] can someone answer my question about partitioning and linux? [07:35] Jeruvy, True fccf, kubuntu 9.04 [07:35] no it is not an opinion it can break your machine tritium [07:35] help! wusb54gc was working (kind of) before the reboot and now it won't even blink [07:35] Well Debian is not really pure so it doesn't matter much. I think Debian is more about doing stuff yourself instead of letting others choose whats good for you. [07:35] that is a fact [07:35] lex0: state a question first and someone will answer [07:36] Syrius: no, that's not substantiated. Now, it's offtopic, so leave it alone. [07:36] Ah so it only supports the LTS version [07:36] Syrius, That IS an opinion. I have been using aptitude exclusively since 6.04 without ANY problems. [07:36] lameeee [07:36] I am not taking about apitutde now DSpair [07:36] you are offtopic [07:36] I am talking about autoremove [07:36] both have it [07:36] I was talking about it with apt-get [07:36] Yes, I am, and I apologize. I need to stop being flamebaited. [07:37] Drop it, Syrius. [07:37] help :( i don't know what to do anymore [07:37] Ok, so i used windows for most of my partition along with ubuntu, now i want to go full ubuntu, is there a way to delete the windows partiton so i can use the rest of my hardrive for ubuntu? [07:37] DSpair: sorry but that is anecdotal evidence ;D [07:37] lex0, What was your partitioning question? [07:37] lex0, sure there is [07:37] Why is it when I try to run a .bin it says command not found. [07:37] okay [07:37] well I like apt-get and that it [07:37] DigitalKiwi, True, and it is only my opinion. [07:38] cjae_: as far as I know mozilla upstream hasn't made the shirekoko part of jaunty ... xulrunner is a necessary part of how firefox interoperates with ubuntu ... are you attempting to install the preview ... then do .. but be warned as it is not officially supported yet you can have alot of problems [07:38] coreyman: how are you trying to run it? [07:38] BeatlesFan, could you show me the quickest/ easiest way to do that? [07:38] how often does ubuntu release? 6 months? [07:38] fccf, opps sorry thought I was in #kubuntu, not that it matters that much, since it is a gnome app and the ubuntu back is the back of the OS [07:38] yup [07:38] lex0, You can go about that in multiple ways. For a new Linux user, I would recommend using gparted. [07:38] scunizi sudo flexbuilder_linux_install_a4_081408.bin [07:38] lex0: when you install Ubuntu from the Live CD you will have the option to partition the drive... chose manual.. [07:38] #ubuntu-es [07:38] !release | DigitalKiwi [07:38] DigitalKiwi: Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases [07:39] coreyman: try sudo ./ [07:39] scunizi ok [07:39] well i want to keep the configurations and files for this ubuntu...i dont want to reinstall [07:39] cjae_: np it is a ubuntu question #kubuntu is for more kde related stuff... ubuntu is the place to be for real answers [07:39] scunizi why did that work >.> [07:39] coreyman, Also, you may need to make sure that the file has execute permissions. [07:39] i just want to delete windows partition [07:39] use gparted [07:39] coreyman, Try "chmod 755 ./filename.bin" [07:39] fccf, yes since there is such a huge audience as well [07:39] lex0: oh, use Gnome Partition.. or Gparted [07:40] lex0: use gparted from the liveCD [07:40] lex0, Install "gparted" using aptitude or apt-get "sudo aptitude install gparted" [07:40] lex0: right.. boot from the live cd and use the partition editor [07:40] what's wrong with dd? [07:40] lex0: that way, you can delete the windows partition and resize your current ubuntu partition [07:40] coreyman: to run a .bin file you have to have the ./ in front of the name.. if it still won't run then chmod +x to make it executable [07:40] DigitalKiwi, dd? For partitioning? [07:40] cjae_: most are sleeping or actually working - me I sit here and have fun [07:40] 'screen' by default at login doesn't work, what's the problem ? [07:40] he wanted to get rid of the windows partition [07:40] okay scunizi.. just not understanding why i HAVE to have ./ [07:40] dd does an excellent job at removing windows [07:41] o_O [07:41] and linux, and anything else ;D [07:41] DigitalKiwi: it also doesn't do what he wants ... [07:41] coreyman, Because, unlike Windows, *NIX systems do not put the current working directory in the PATH automatically. [07:41] DigitalKiwi: please don't tease the newbies.... [07:41] pfft [07:41] so you're the guy going around telling others to "sudo rm -rf /" :P [07:41] DSpair thanks [07:41] hmm why didn't a bot ban you [07:41] and that doesn't work anymore [07:42] some newb got it taken you [07:42] deagle, who is?!? [07:42] don't you know? [07:42] coreyman: well.. there are different ways to install in linux.. that's just one of them. I don't know the specifics either but it works.. in windows you never question double clicking a .exe file to install. you just learned that that was the way to do it.. same in linux.. you just learn the way to do it. [07:42] fccf, um how would I have been able to tell, if I was paying more attention, that was going to be installed without use of a gui package manager, I have been using aptitude now since the package managers in kde are a little off [07:42] DSpair: fanially the network manager works [07:42] no it doesnt :( [07:42] ok so should i format or just delete the big windows part? [07:42] Syrius, What did you change? [07:42] no format [07:42] just delete the windows part [07:42] DSpair: why is it that you have to put your connections in too different places? [07:42] lex0 reboot into a live cd environment -- delete the windows partition -with gparted - then resize teh ubuntu partition to fill the drive [07:42] besides I don't trust gparted to any drive I have data on I want to keep >.> [07:43] lex0, you can do both, delete it then reformat it to ext3 [07:43] lex0, It's up to you. Do you want to expand your existing Linux paritions to use the space, or mount it as a separate partition? [07:43] could someone pleeeaaaseeee help me with my usb wireless card? [07:43] :( [07:43] and do ok thank you [07:43] it was because I did not put it in this other location because I thought it was unneeded because I already enter here why should I have to enter it again in routes DSpair [07:43] Syrius, I don't know what you're referring to. [07:43] it was working before the reboot [07:43] * deagle sobs [07:44] !enter | DigitalKiwi [07:44] DigitalKiwi: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [07:44] umm [07:44] is there any way to search through gconf keys? it doesn't seem terribly grep-able [07:44] DSpair: network manager [07:44] for setting up a static ip [07:45] I think it is retarded that you need to enter it in two spots to get it to work [07:45] fccf okay === x101 is now known as Andy_ [07:45] Syrius: you don't need to. [07:45] not to point fingers but deagle, just for example, is talking way more than me >.> [07:45] Syrius, I have only ever had to enter a static IP in a single place in NetworkManager, so I cannot begin to answer your question. [07:45] then why does it not work if I don't tritium? === MadMax is now known as Guest94241 [07:45] DigitalKiwi: it's not about talking [07:45] it's [07:45] about talking [07:45] Syrius, Is it possible that you put something into /etc/network/interfaces? [07:45] like [07:45] deagle: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:45] this [07:45] Syrius: you'd have to show us what you've done so we can find what's wrong. It only requires configuration in one spot. [07:46] i was going on line count, deagle [07:46] what does the "indicator applet" indicate? looks like a boring white envelope [07:46] How can I install python version 2.5 instead of the newer 2.6.2 ? [07:46] you're saying less than me ;D [07:46] well it is in the network settings manager but I had to also enter it in routes in order to get it to work tritium [07:46] solifugus: install the python2.5 package [07:47] solifugus, Try installing the python2.5 package instead of just python. [07:47] it's listed like that you mean.. ok.. let me check. [07:47] Syrius: that's not necessary. [07:47] then why does it not work if I do not do that tritium? [07:47] I have dnses entered [07:47] !ot | DigitalKiwi [07:47] DigitalKiwi: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [07:47] could someone at least point me in a good direction to get my linksys wusb54gc back up and running? [07:48] Syrius: again, you'll have to show us what you did so we can find what you did wrong. [07:48] 4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2, 4.2.2.3, 4.2.2.4, 4.2.2.5, 4.2.2.6 [07:48] screenshot tritium? [07:48] fccf: troll [07:48] Syrius, That's not an easy question to answer. It depends on a lot of different things. One is how your /etc/network/interfaces file is set up, another is if you have done nothing but upgrades since 8.10, and there are many more possible factors. [07:48] DigitalKiwi: don't do that please [07:48] deagle: try #linksys [07:48] but he's trolling me :( [07:49] Jeruvy: no such channel? [07:49] making screenshots so you know what I am talking about DSpair tritium [07:49] Syrius, I know that the format for /etc/network/interfaces changed in 8.04 and you no longer need any entries in there if you want to use NetworkManager to configure interfaces. [07:50] deagle: its a valid channel ;) [07:50] Jeruvy: lol [07:50] I'm reading a how-to that says I should format a partition as iso9660, anyone know how you go about doing that? [07:50] I do not upgrade in that fashion I do a fresh install each time because doing it via apt-get dist-upgrade is not recommended DSpair [07:50] Geoffrey2: what how-to is this? [07:50] Geoffrey2, Format as iso9660? Hmmm . . . That's different. [07:50] deagle: what more can I say :) [07:50] Geoffrey2: iso9660 is the filetype for CDs and .iso images [07:50] Geoffrey2: that sounds like the format for a cd/dvd [07:50] Syrius: there are recommended upgrade paths. You don't have to reinstall. [07:51] um [07:51] !upgrade | Syrius [07:51] Syrius: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [07:51] it is not recommended to use dist-upgrade [07:51] it is preferred that you do a fresh install [07:51] Syrius: please stop spreading mis-information here. [07:51] gnewsense says so [07:51] Syrius: see above links for methods of upgradign [07:51] Syrius, I can also tell you that this laptop I am on has not had a fresh install since 7.10. aptitude dist-upgrade has worked just fine for me. [07:52] upgrading* [07:52] I see [07:52] D= [07:52] my wusb is dying [07:52] well I don't [07:52] because people have not recommended to do so [07:52] he needs help, could someone help it? [07:52] deagle, it is, the idea was you could then "burn" an iso to that partition, thus not needing a dvd burner, which I do not have [07:52] Syrius: that's not an excuse to spread bad information here. [07:53] how do i install flock [07:53] i have it downloaded [07:53] do i extract to my src folder and run or something [07:53] Syrius, Fresh installs are not bad, but there are other ways. There's nothing wrong if you want to do a fresh install every release, it just means making certain preparations. [07:53] Geoffrey2: huh? [07:53] Geoffrey2: you want to make an ISO image? [07:53] Geoffrey2, OH, I see. You want to burn to a virtual CD-ROM. What is it that you want to burn? [07:54] so uh, is there any way I can search through my gconf keys? [07:54] Sems: there you go installing unsupported software - just because sombody said it was cool .. hey you want bleeding edge try Karmic [07:54] i cannot install new cursor. i keep clicking on gcursor but it does not change. [07:54] Ademan, I wouldn't know. Have you tried searching on Google? [07:54] yes I know like backing up if you do not have your home folder on a separate partition DSpair [07:54] what is the command to unmount a file system? [07:54] Syrius, Exactly. [07:54] Ademan: they're all stored under ~/.gconf/ [07:54] DSpair: yeah, didn't turn up anything useful, at least nothing immediately obvious [07:54] devD, umount /path/to/unmount [07:54] devD: sudo umount /path/ [07:54] awww too slow :P [07:54] DSpair, honestly, the Windows 7 RC...... [07:55] Ademan, Lemme take a quick look around. [07:55] tritium: are you sure? to me it looked like only things I had changed from some "master" copy were stored there [07:55] i cannot install new cursor. i keep clicking on gcursor but it does not change? [07:55] Ademan: yes [07:55] Syrius: it's really machine dependant.. if you typically use repositories that are not the standard ones coming from ubuntu, and you install .deb's downloaded from other websites, you machine may or may not have issues when upgrading. many that have problems have caused it themselves. I've done it both ways and sometimes have issues and sometimes not depending on how much I've tweeked the system and what outside packages I've installed. [07:55] Ademan, There is a tool in the repository called gconf-editor which has a search function. [07:55] hi [07:56] I see scunizi [07:56] DSpair, it's a 2.4 gig iso file, and I don't have a DVD burner..... [07:56] well I do with some [07:56] and yes that is usually easy fixes though [07:56] tritium, I just checked, unfortunately that's not so, it only stores changed keys in ~/.gconf [07:56] Geoffrey2: what is the url of the howto you were reading? [07:56] DSpair: does it? i missed that, thankss [07:56] zxd: hello [07:56] I just remove the config folder for the program and just reinstall it [07:56] Geoffrey2, If it's already an ISO file, then creating an iso9660 filesystem won't help. It will just allow you to recreate the ISO file. [07:56] ok [07:56] then the problems go away [07:56] DSpair: ah yeah, find, haha thanks [07:56] Geoffrey2, Do you just want to mount the ISO file and read the contents, or do you want to try to boot from it? [07:57] Syrius: sometimes [07:57] Ademan, NP [07:57] you do that too scunizi? [07:57] you can mount isos :/ [07:57] i cannot install new cursor. i keep clicking on gcursor but it does not change? [07:57] DigitalKiwi, Yup. Not too dificult either. [07:58] s/dificult/difficult/ [07:58] Syrius: no.. I use the typical upgrade path recommended and if I end up with strange issues I can't live with or find out how to fix I'll resinstall fresh after saving /home [07:58] heck if it is a dvd video you can just play it with vlc and I think smplayer will too easilyy [07:58] Sometimes removing items under ~/.gconf is not enough, and you have to kill gconfd as well. [07:58] Geoffrey2, If you want to be able to boot from the ISO, then there's some serious wizardry you'll have to do involving syslinux and a seperate partition. [07:59] s/serperate/separate/ [07:59] oh wait he said what it was [07:59] duhh [07:59] the idea was, create a partition, format it as iso9660, then "burn" the ISO file to that partition, essentially creating a virtual cd on the partition, then stick a chain loader listing in grub, so you could select it on reboot and it would autorun...... [07:59] * DigitalKiwi didn't get that at the time [07:59] DSpair, it says unmount command not found. [07:59] devD: umount, not unmount [07:59] DSpair, sorry [07:59] does anyone know how to turn off that stupid "This computer will be shut down in 60 Seconds" prompt? [07:59] http://tinyurl.com/qyyag6 http://tinyurl.com/p9rzlo DSpair tritium I hope these screenshots help [07:59] DSpair, its umount [07:59] devD, You need to either use the "sudo" command or be 'root' to unmount. [07:59] ok [07:59] wait, nevermind, haha [07:59] Geoffrey2: you're never going to tell us the url of the howto you were reading, are you? [08:00] bonjour [08:00] that actually sounds kind of fun [08:00] Geoffrey2: that almost sounds like a windows solution to running some games "diskless".. there were apps for that in windows as I remember [08:00] uruntu: bonjour [08:00] however, I notice the person who listed it said they'd read it somewhere, but had never actually tried it... http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/booting-of-raw-iso-from-grublilo-though-preferably-grub-367901/ [08:00] !fr | uruntu [08:00] uruntu: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [08:00] !cursor [08:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about cursor [08:00] Geoffrey2, Creating a chain-loader will not work if I recall correctly. You'll need to use syslinux as the bootstrap to then load the ISO partition. To create the partition would be as simple as using dd to copy the ISO to the device. [08:00] nah thats fine.. [08:00] losher, there's your link [08:01] bonjour uruntu fccf [08:01] saluton [08:01] hola [08:01] hallo [08:01] =D [08:01] gutentacht [08:01] abend [08:01] was ist los? DigitalKiwi [08:01] !ot [08:01] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [08:01] * DigitalKiwi should learn the spellling if it isn't that [08:01] Syrius: nope, they don't help. You don't need to setup that route. [08:01] ok [08:02] but are the settings correct tritium? [08:02] well I am connected [08:02] i cant setup flock [08:02] so I guess so [08:02] i have the files [08:02] Geoffrey2: there's also http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/install-any-linux-distro-directly-from.html and a few others [08:02] but i dont know how to get it up [08:02] Geoffrey2, Have a look at this: http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/Boot_an_Iso_image [08:02] syrius please help [08:03] Syrius: the IPv4 Settings tab looks correct. The Routes tab is unnecessary. [08:03] Sems: out of context that's a bad phrase [08:03] okay tritium [08:03] Syrius: if you dislike network-manager, you can always configure static IPs in /etc/network/interfaces trivially. [08:03] Sems: what do you need help with ? [08:03] sorry, i am trying to setup flock [08:03] what is flock ? [08:03] Syrius, It's "The Social Web Browser" [08:03] wicd > networkmanager [08:03] its a browser based on mozilla [08:03] Sems: It was just humorous :) [08:04] okay [08:04] Sems: it's not in the repositories, so you have to install it manually. [08:04] scunizi, not funny === pizdets is now known as pizzledizzle [08:04] yeah [08:04] thats where the problem comes in [08:04] Sems, Try this link: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-flock-web-browser-in-ubuntu.html [08:04] thanks [08:05] Sems: you probably need the same dependences as firefox there is a command to install them once you do that just read the readme and install files to install flock [08:05] is skype supported in new version of Ubuntu [08:05] I think everyone here needs to learn that Google is your friend. You can find almost anything on Google is you use the right keywords. [08:05] well not always [08:06] swaroopvj, Check this link: http://beginlinux.wordpress.com/2009/04/28/installing-skype-on-ubuntu-904/ [08:06] DSpair: have you tried www.google.com/linux ? [08:06] sometimes there might not be anything written for that [08:06] !skype | swaroopvj [08:06] scunizi, Not in a long time. I always forget about it. [08:06] swaroopvj: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [08:06] also it may not be available in your language [08:06] DSpair: it works well and eliminates a lot of cruft [08:07] scunizi, Like those annoying ExpertsExchange links... Gah! I hate that site. [08:07] thank you DSpair [08:08] there is no readme file [08:08] swaroopvj, No problem. I hope it helped. [08:08] thanks Syrius and Dspair [08:08] Sems, Glad to be of assistance. [08:09] Holy crap! It's 3AM already. I have GOT to get over my insomnia. [08:09] oh so I'm not the only one who hates expertexchange, phew [08:09] DSpair: you must be east coast, left coast here. [08:10] Dspair:it really helpd/. i should have serached in google before coming here..this how a new bee starts [08:10] DigitalKiwi, If I were not too worried about the repercussions, I would totally DDoS that site into oblivion. [08:10] DSpair: it is only midnight here - just getting started [08:10] swaroopvj, It's fine. [08:10] DSpair: I'd help [08:10] scunizi this summer i came in west coast on holiday! [08:10] fccf, Cali? [08:10] !ot [08:10] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [08:11] DSpair: cali yep.. San Diego [08:11] DSpair: Yes fccf = first christian church fullerton ... browse my ip [08:11] scunizi, Yeah, been a few years, but I used to live in Chula Vista. [08:11] DSpair: I'm sorry :) [08:12] scunizi, Well, I was a Navy brat, and that's where the housing was affordable. [08:12] scunizi, And when I say "a few years" I mean like 30. [08:12] DSpair, yes. I tried [08:12] #ubuntu-offtopic for chat, please [08:12] fccf: hypocrite [08:12] DSpair: I exited from the brat life about the same.. [08:12] DSpair, everything is ok [08:13] hey everyone for some reason when I double click on certain files they don't open in the program they are associated with. Like when I double click on A html document it doesn't launch in firefox. [08:13] Anyone have any experience w/distributed filesystems like GlusterFS or Hadoop? [08:13] devD, Sorry. I don't understand. Did the umount work? [08:13] DSpair, today I got my Ubuntu 8.10 upgraded to Ubuntu 9.04. [08:13] fuzzybunny69y, Try right-clicking, select Properties, and go to the "Open With" tab to check the settings. [08:13] When I download large amounts of data on my netbook, my router locks up. Is there a way to get the list of URLs to dowonlad, download them on another PC and then install updates from the downloaded files? [08:14] It works well with a wired connection but I haven't got that enabled yet. [08:14] mathias: try aptoncd [08:14] mathias, Hmmm . . . That would depend on the netbook setup. Are you using UNR? [08:14] !aptoncd | mathias [08:14] mathias: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [08:14] fccf: will look that up, thx [08:14] DSpair, whenever I use sudo command, its asks for the user account password not for the root password . [08:14] that's the idea [08:14] devD it's normal [08:14] mathias, Another option is creating a local Ubuntu mirror on your network. I LOVE doing that and it really annoys my ISP. [08:15] mathias: you could try the generating package download script feature in synaptic [08:15] devD, Yes, that's what it is supposed to do. [08:15] devD by default there is no root in ubuntu [08:15] wut [08:15] devD only su command asks for root pass [08:15] DSpair, I just did it with a plain text document and it is associated with Text Editor. [08:15] devD, There is a major difference between "su" and "sudo". [08:15] !root | devD [08:15] devD: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [08:16] fccf: there is root, it is just disabled to login :/ [08:16] Nice response from the bot. I like the reference. [08:16] fccf: the problem is that only the netbook "knows" which files should be downloaded. [08:16] you can change root pass with sudo passwd root [08:16] alex881: which is not advised [08:16] you can but we do not recommend it here. [08:17] * DigitalKiwi thinks ya'll've been hanging around too many debian people ;D [08:17] Using "sudo" is definitely more secure and more auditable. It also helps to prevent mistakes like "rm -rf /" [08:17] DigitalKiwi: what gave you that idea? ;) [08:17] mathias: you can trick aptoncd by backing up the apt sources.list on the other machine and using it to make an "netbook" install using the netbook sources.list [08:17] ok how is sudo more secure than su? [08:18] dude, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [08:18] DigitalKiwi, Because sudo keeps audit logs of every command run and su does not. [08:18] hy i try install http://launchpadlibrarian.net/24820246/xorg-driver-sis671_0.9.tar.gz [08:18] !sudo [08:18] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [08:18] DigitalKiwi: that's been debated here before, many times. Read the wiki, and take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [08:18] DigitalKiwi: su puts you in root until you exit.. sudo is active for the one command [08:18] i unpack it and dont know hoq to install there is not doc [08:18] you can still sudo -rm whatever :/ [08:18] i try ./configure [08:19] DigitalKiwi: hell hath no fury... [08:19] ./configure [08:19] bash: ./configure: No such file or directory [08:19] i try it [08:19] su -c whoami (06-07 02:19) [08:19] Password: [08:19] root [08:19] whatever [08:19] DigitalKiwi: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:20] DigitalKiwi: I told you to take it to -offtopic [08:20] i see sh file so [08:20] sh autogen.sh [08:20] autogen.sh: 9: autoreconf: not found [08:20] but for example sudo doesn't do sudo echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward [08:20] !compiling | grek [08:20] grek: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [08:20] Gnea: do it please [08:20] grek: Have a look at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilingSoftware [08:21] (as I suggested above) [08:21] tritium, I was distracted. Missed the post. [08:21] ok i am trying to delete all the other partitons on my harddrive my windows mainly so i can use the rest of my partition for ubuntu, if i tell you guys which drives i see can you tell me which i should delete? [08:21] hi [08:21] someone needs to help me omg ffs.. [08:21] DSpair: no worries :) [08:21] My connection keeps throwing me off on Ubuntu [08:21] alejandro_, Not really because it can be different on every machine. [08:22] I keep getting disconnected from IRC/Pidgin again and again and Firefox downloads hang [08:22] ok i try install automake [08:22] alejandro_: pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l and we can try [08:22] most of the time , please help ,me :(( [08:22] grek: install build-essential, to start with [08:22] !ask |ashmew2 [08:22] ashmew2: 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. :-) [08:22] ashmew2, Sounds like a problem with your connection. How are you connected? [08:22] DSpair: Im using a Wired DSL connection [08:22] fccf: I asked the question [08:23] alejandro_: sudo fdisk -l in a terminal to list your partitions and the one labeled with ntfs is the windows partition.. it should be labeled as sd.. like sda.. that's the one you want to delete [08:23] ashmew2, OK, are the DSL modem and the router integrated, or are you plugging straight into the DSL? [08:23] ashmew2: note all on ONE line [08:23] DSPair: I dont understand what you said fully , but i just plug the router into the CPU using an Ethernet Cable. [08:23] ok basically i dont want anythign else but ubuntu on my hard disk i will pastebin now [08:23] fccf: my bad [08:23] fccf, Relax, let's just help. [08:24] ashmew2, OK, does your ISP require you to use PPP over Ethernet? [08:24] DSPair: Yes i am using that , Im currently running Jaunty...Connection runs fine on Fedora (which i dont like for other reasons) [08:24] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/190085/ [08:25] sda1 is windows [08:25] !next [08:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about next [08:25] ashmew2, I have seen strange issues with PPPoE on Linux before, so let me do some quick searches. Who is your provider? [08:26] DSpair : I doubt youll find it by my ISP , But im In India , Provider is Airtel. The Router is a 110 BXI Beetel. [08:26] alejandro_: that will leave you without a boot partition [08:26] hm i try [08:26] ashmew2, Whew... Yeah, you're probably right. [08:26] sudo make install [08:26] cd . && /bin/sh /home/staff/Download/test/xf86-video-sis-imedia.failed/missing --run automake-1.10 --foreign [08:26] /bin/sh: Can't open /home/staff/Download/test/xf86-video-sis-imedia.failed/missing [08:26] make: *** [Makefile.in] Błąd 1 [08:26] grek: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:26] DSpair: I made a couple of threads , one of em : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1178941 [08:26] ok [08:26] fccf: so what should i do? [08:27] fccf: i have gparted open [08:27] No one really replied..The strange thing is it doesnt actually disconnect completely , its just like the connection drops for a milisecond [08:27] alejandro_: you will need to reinstall grub after you merge your drives [08:27] http://paste.ubuntu.com/190086/ [08:27] please see it [08:27] alejandro_: are you doing this from the live disk [08:28] no just from the program gparted [08:28] DSPair : Can i monitor it somehow ? [08:28] fccf: that seems like it might work. at least half way: what I do not understand is how I can get the correct files from my "good PC" when it does not know the state of the netbook. does it not need to know exactly what is installed on the netbook, even if the same repos are used? [08:28] fccf: i dont have any more blank cds lol [08:28] sombody know ho w to install it ? \ [08:29] i upgarde to 9.04 and lost screen res [08:29] alejandro_: in order to complete the process you will have to reboot into a live cd [08:29] alejandro_: do you have a 1 gig memory stick - or even 256mb [08:29] hey kids. Can anyone reccomend a more advanced Network Manager under Gnome/Ubuntu 8.10 ? The one i have installed closes itself while i`m trying to save the configuration as a file [08:29] yes i do [08:30] ashmew2, Yes, you could use Wireshark. [08:30] DSPair : I have it installed. [08:30] desen tried wicd? [08:30] ashmew2, But if you are not extremely adept at Ethernet and TCP/IP, it will not make much sense to you. [08:30] yeah [08:30] thats right [08:30] alejandro_: you can find instructions for installing ubuntu on a memory stick here... [08:30] alex881 nope. haven't tried anything yet. will test it asap [08:30] !usb | alejandro_ [08:30] alejandro_: 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 [08:30] here is all my try log [08:30] http://paste.ubuntu.com/190087/ [08:30] DSPair : Should i try Bridging ? [08:30] fccf: I found another tool: apt-zip. Looks promising. [08:30] Does anyone know any other reasons why text files that are set to open with Text Editor don't open when I double click on them [08:31] DSpair: like using ppoeconf etc ? [08:31] alex881 it is GUI-based, i`m a bit newbie when it comes to using terminal commands [08:31] mathias: man apt-zip [08:31] desen yep it is [08:31] ok, thanx alex881 [08:31] ashmew2, I'm not sure without knowing how your ISP is configured. I would doubt it though if you have a built-in router. [08:31] fccf why he can't reinstall grub after deleted partition? [08:31] in the time you've been here you could have written a shell script to get what files you need to install into a list, wget them, and install them, just saying (and it's not too late!) [08:32] DSPair: I have a spare Router , will plugging that in help at all ? Worth a Try ? [08:32] ashmew2, Usually, when there is an integrated router, the device handles the PPPoE connection and all you have to do on the PC is plug in and connect. [08:32] alex881: mounted partition [08:32] anybody see on that ?\ [08:32] fccf so you can't expand mounted partition right? [08:33] alex881 no you cannot [08:33] ashmew2, No, hooking up a second router wouldn't help, but I could be misunderstanding your setup. Do you have a seperate router and DSL modem, or does the router plug directly into the phone line? [08:33] ? [08:33] please [08:33] :) [08:34] DSPair : I have a single Router into which a phone line is connected. [08:34] fccf but if he delete the ntfs partition the first partition will be the ubuntu one..and he can reinstall grub and set mbr and then expand partition with a simple gparted cd [08:34] hi i am getting this error while compiling dmraid http://pastebin.ca/1450422 [08:34] ashmew2, Well then, in my experience that device should handle the PPPoE for you without having to use PPPoE on the computer. Have you tried without using PPPoE? [08:34] DSPair : Strange thing is it works on fedora like nothing's wrong..And in both Fedora and Ubuntu i didnt do anything at all...It all configured itself [08:35] DSPair : How do i go about doing that ? You mean i should log onto the Router Configuration and Change PPPoE to something else there ? [08:35] thanks [08:35] ashmew2, Could you pastebin the output of "ipconfig"? [08:35] ... [08:35] alex881: he doesn't have any cds [08:35] why ubuntu comes with mozilla and not opera? i mean why opera isnt even on the repos? [08:35] fccf kk sry..

[08:38] DSPair : http://paste.ubuntu.com/190096/ [08:39] ashmew2, Nothing glaringly wrong there. [08:39] DSPair: Well , shouldnt the Interruptions in ifconfig be 0 ? it was 23 in that case [08:40] so under command on the shortcut I would put /home/cosmo/Downloads/keylistener.pl? [08:40] ashmew2, That's not interruptions, that the CPU interrupt signal channel. Interrupts (IRQs) are how hardware signal the kernel that they need attention. [08:40] DSPair: WIll using a Static IP configuration like 192.168.1.3 help ? With all the DNSs etc ? [08:40] DSPair: OMG..ok ,. [08:40] ashmew2, You could definitely try that. [08:40] can ubuntu boot from an extended partition? [08:41] DSPair: How do i go about that? Just Right Click and DO edit connections ? [08:41] alex881, As long as you are using a relatively modern bootloader like GRUB or new versions of LILO. [08:41] ashmew2, Yes, you can definitely do it that way. [08:41] alex881: yes as long as the bootloader is on the first primary [08:41] DSPair: And i should change configurations in Auto eth0 right [08:42] ashmew2, Yes. === xNinjai is now known as xNinja1 [08:42] * DSpair loves Portishead. === ce_teman is now known as co_baek [08:42] DSPair: Thanks for your time , Ill just reset my connection now.. === xNinja1 is now known as xNinja [08:43] ashmew2, Best of luck!

That is a function of the application, not the OS or the Window Manager. [08:45] i have this error while compiling dmraid http://pastebin.ca/1450422 [08:45] fccf: It wasn't intended as being snide, it was just the only logical answer to the question. [08:46] DSpair, in windows its in the mouse properties.. and the pointer acts like that whatever the applic is [08:46] can viruses be implemented through open office the same way as adobe reader .pdfs because of java? [08:46] baker_GR, I am not aware of a similar function in GNOME. [08:47] DSpair, thats all i wanted to know ty :) [08:47] DSpair: I didn't see it as snide.. actually extremly truthfull... if you would like to discuss the idiosyncracies of the english langugage as it pertains to tech support we can discuss this in !ot [08:47] baker_GR, No problem. [08:47] finally.. [08:48] DSPair: Ok , i configured it..Thanks for the help , maybe itll solve the issue.. [08:48] ashmew2, Any luck?

[08:48] lol [08:49] ashmew2, That's is definitely true. Been there, done that. [08:49] DSPair: Hopefully it is fixed , But i dont really know ;) [08:50] ashmew2, Well, I will keep my fingers crossed.

I then installed 9.04 Server and then KDE and it installed fine. I know all my checksums were good and my disks all passed verfication. Anyone know why this might have happened? Should I keep the server? I'm planning on using the machine for a DVR using Myth TV. [08:57] hi [08:57] I know you can mount ext2 as ext3. I just couldn't remember if it worked in reverse. [08:58] brunner: I fear that Ext2FSD is for Windows Only.. [08:58] hey fccf [08:58] damn [08:58] xNinja: yes [08:58] so mount won't let you do it from the command line, right? [08:59] can you help with dmraid ?

[09:01] or will it cause problems? [09:02] ashmew2: oh, okay. I was just trying to figure out if it was possible [09:03] DSpair: tritium the safest way is to backup your data and do a fresh installation [09:03] someone know what to do? [09:03] so it is not good to use dist-upgrade then [09:03] can cause problems [09:03] brunner: Ah , my ba [09:03] d [09:03] brunner: you might want to have a look at this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=839998 [09:03] taken from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [09:04] Syrius, well I have used dist-upgrade for a number of years if something has changed it .. so far.. has not caused any problems [09:04] BitPlacebo: for older computers, I believe the alternate CD has better hardware support [09:04] I g2g , Lunch Calls , Cya guys [09:04] Hey, what are recommended graphics cards for 9.04?

[09:51] SPF: thanks I will try this [09:51] mmm4m5m: you might be confused - update-java-alternatives seems to be to change runtime environment mid stride .. not user spacific [09:51] pflame: for more info: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1164846 [09:52] anyone know? [09:52] <__8472> hi, is there a way how can I debug, or log somehow a problem with booting of grub? a problem occured to me. I have dual-boot configured in there, one for linux, which works fine without a problem, and the second - windows xp, suddenly stopped to start the boot. but when i change the boot sequence in the BIOS, it works just fine, but when switching it back to the drive with grub, then it simply won't start booting of the windows, and I can't find why. [09:52] <__8472> thx [09:52] !ask [09:52] 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. :-) [09:53] Can I split an 8 gb password list in a text document into smaller files so I can open it? [09:53] sknnbones, 8gigs??? yikes [09:53] its massive [09:53] sknnbones: yes you can, with split [09:53] explain? [09:53] sknnbones: man split [09:54] sknnbones, http://www.computerhope.com/unix/usplit.htm [09:54] sknnbones, http://www.techiecorner.com/107/how-to-split-large-file-into-several-smaller-files-linux/ [09:54] can I do it on XP? [09:54] the file is on my XP hard drive [09:54] it would take a while to transfer it to ubunut [09:54] ubuntu** [09:54] __8472: Maybe fixmbr or something like that, fix grub might also be it. [09:55] sknnbones: ubuntu can mount your XP drive [09:55] sknnbones: you can split the file from xp drive to Ubuntu [09:55] hello [09:55] <__8472> vigo: why fixmbr? as i know, i haven't screwed up anything [09:55] sknnbones, http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/split-and-share-large-files-easily-with-gsplit/ [09:55] I am totally screwed [09:55] okay thanks [09:55] __8472: I found computerhope.com to be a great how to and stuff for windows [09:55] gsplit turns them into .exes [09:55] My vista box is pretty much a worthless POS [09:55] sknnbones, oh mm let me check [09:56] hi all - how do I log in to 9.04 directly from the login screen as the guest user? [09:56] OphelIA: we already knew that - ready to switch? [09:56] but I have 2K worth of iTunes, and I am unaware of a iTunes compatible client for Linux, am I mistaken? [09:56] OphelIA, That's redundant. Vista is pretty much synonymous with useless. [09:56] <__8472> vigo: but as i've said before, when i change the boot sequence in bios to the drive with windows to be first, it works fine. so there isn't a problem with the windows itself. [09:56] OphelIA: therapy isn't really our strong side.. if you want help with ubuntu we might be a little more useful [09:56] I can switch to Guest from the switch user menu when logged in as someone else, but can't log in directly? [09:56] if you have the itunes files on XP you can use them on ubuntu [09:56] OphelIA, True, iTunes uses a DRM music format which cannot be read except by iTunes. [09:56] err [09:56] sknnbones, http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-split-a-large-file-into-several-small-files-using-winrar-and-hjsplit-and-how-to-merge-them-back/ [09:56] or not [09:56] if you had them on an IPOD you could use them on ubuntu [09:56] OphelIA: gtkpod ryhtymbox - virtualbox - running xp in ubuntu [09:57] I do have them on a iPod [09:57] thanks coz [09:57] __84572: The MBR could have been corrupted when in BIOS, oh wait, two physical drives? [09:57] OphelIA: you might want to check if itunes can use wine [09:57] you just cant add to the ipod [09:57] sknnbones, not sure about the itunes stuff let me google [09:57] !wine | OphelIA [09:57] OphelIA: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [09:57] <__8472> vigo: yes, two phys. drives [09:57] err [09:58] woudl I ahve to play them off the iPod, or would the music play seperately within Ubuntu, or example, could the music exist simultaniously at home on my ubuntu box at on the road on my iPod and be playable on both? [09:58] I get an out of memory error when trying to split [09:58] sknnbones, http://www.boingboing.net/2007/12/19/simplifymedia-itunes.html [09:58] :\ [09:58] OphelIA: yes playable on both [09:58] well then, this may we worth a shot [09:59] sknnbones, no doubt about the out of memory....increase the paging file on windows disk [09:59] OphelIA: the only functionality you miss in ubuntu is the ablilty to buy from itunes.apple.com... everything else you can do in ubuntu [09:59] how do I do that? [09:59] I will be back in a while, after I download and burn an Ubuntu 64 DVD [09:59] im running xp right now [09:59] sknnbones, well meet me in #windows [09:59] okay [09:59] hey people, does anyone know if it is possible to increase the size of the partition i have ubuntu installed in in a dual boot system with windows XP? [09:59] OphelIA, You can also try buying from Amazon's MP3 store. It has a larger selection, and the tracks don't use DRM. [09:59] __8472: Ok, that is a bit different, sorta. If both HDDs have a Master Loader, or Boot Loader then that can cause confusion, it usually does not with GRUB and WinMBR , but it can, let me search the forums and see if I can find the solution. [10:00] #windows [10:00] whoops [10:00] jonnyb: yes - short andwer [10:00] jonnyb: if you can make free space it is possible, sure [10:00] sknnbones, type /join #windows [10:00] <__8472> vigo: ok, thx [10:00] so... no one knows how to drive the Guest session in 9.04?

[10:02] dixond_: hmm.. let me have a look... you want to start the guest session from the login prompt.. right? [10:02] dixond_: you can't -- the useruser have to give permissions to the guest [10:02] Slart: yes [10:02] DSpair: I am trying to get a game to work in wine, everything works except that the mouse becomes invisible. [10:02] fccf: that's.... awkward. [10:02] packetcase, Ah, I C. [10:03] dixond_: I am trying it though to see if I can [10:04] packetcase, Which game? [10:04] pflame: the only thing I can find is: http://www.review-ninja.com/2009/04/fix-corrupted-volume-or-directory.html [10:05] dixond_: from this url https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Specs/Intrepid/GuestAccount, "An existing user must authenticate the start of a guest session, so that it cannot be abused without the owner's knowledge." [10:05] dixond_: you can however create a real guest user ... would have permissions like any other user -- which you could then lock down [10:05] DSpair: It is more than one game, so I believe it is an "error" in wine, but what I want is a way to prevent the mouse to always preserve the original mouse. I have tried with compiz, but then the screen flickered. [10:06] Slart: fccf: roger, thanks. [10:06] packetcase, Yeah, compiz with Wine is pretty aweful. [10:06] _8472: What version Ubuntu? [10:06] dixond_: basically they designed it this way since it isn't safe enough to use as a "kiosk" mode... [10:06] DSpair: I want something similiar to compiz's Show Mouse for gnome [10:06] how do i increase the ext3 partition size on a dual boot machine??

[10:22] Hey All. [10:22] I have two NIC's in the same machine, each configured to there own IP [10:22] when I ping one IP, I get act lights on the one nic === c0-kul18 is now known as c0-18kul [10:22] but when i ping the other IP I get act lights on the same nic?! [10:22] <__8472> vigo: ok, thx again, bye [10:22] Am I correct in saying its routing all traffic through the first NIC for both IP's ? [10:22] __8472: I still enjoy learning things, and mistakes are part of the human condition. [10:22] Bullterd: what are their IP address ? [10:22] first one is 192.168.2.10 [10:22] second is 192.168.2.11 [10:22] Bullterd: they are on the same network [10:23] anyone here know how i can make a desklet not "ignore errors in this desklet" after setting it to that at one point? [10:23] ikonia: But I specially told it, eth0 has this ip, eth1 has this one [10:23] Bullterd: yes, but they are on the same network [10:23] 0.o [10:23] Bullterd: check your routing and gateway [10:24] Bullterd: you'll have problems putting multiple nicks on the same network [10:24] sugeti mielul?? [10:24] Dang [10:24] Bullterd: also activitiy lights don't always mean activity [10:24] administrator__: lamer. [10:24] next question [10:24] I setup a bond using bond mode 4 [10:24] when im transfering files [10:24] using the bond [10:24] activiy only shows on one of the NIC's [10:24] winap for xubuntu??? [10:24] Bullterd: how are you measuring activity [10:25] if i then pull out the lan cable for the one that isnt acting, the transfer doesnt stop. [10:25] I assume this means that the bond didnt work ? [10:25] and is just using the one interface ? [10:25] Bullterd: why would you expect the transfer to stop [10:26] I installed a program in WINE and it added an item to my applications menu. When i go 'edit menu' and hit the 'delete' button on it nothing happens. Why? [10:26] because bonding the two interfaces doesnt have redundancy [10:26] so if i pull one cable, the bond should die [10:26] Bullterd: they are aggregated [10:26] if it was working as a bond correctly [10:26] Bullterd: no it will aggreegate over the one nic [10:26] even in mode 4 ? [10:27] Bullterd: from what I'm reading [10:27] hmm. [10:27] Bullterd: your switch also needs to support 802 port aggregation too [10:27] is there any way to measure samba file transfer speed ? [10:27] yeah mine does [10:28] ma e vreun roman pe ici??? [10:28] have you any experiance with bonding on 8.10 ? [10:28] Bullterd: sure [10:28] coz, do you want a link to a 2.4 gig password list? [10:28] raspundeti in pula mea [10:28] ikonia: so, I did the apt-get install ifentool [10:28] ikonia: then setup the bond in /etc/network/interface [10:29] its been compressed to a 84 mb file [10:29] ikonia: Am i correct in saying that should be it for configuration ? [10:29] Flynsarmy: I do not do WINE, the thing could be removed in TUI, or CLI, but I would ask in #wine before I did anything, also make a backup. [10:29] sknnbones, cool so its accessible now? [10:29] Bullterd: yup - sounds good [10:29] no. [10:29] hmm. [10:29] sknnbones, ah oh [10:30] can someone help me in regards to using "ddclient" before i loose all hope in mankind xD just kidding, however, i am having some SEVERE issue that are making my non-noobish head hurt. [10:30] ikonia: I can get the bond up and pinging - if my switch didnt support the standerd, would the bond not come online at all ? [10:30] Bullterd: the bond would come on line, but it wouldn't aggregate [10:30] Dang. [10:30] Which is what i susspect is happening [10:30] sknnbones, coz_: Please keep offtopic chatter out of this channel, thanks. [10:30] o0 ?? [10:30] i max apache out on my gig lan at 40Mb/s [10:30] Bullterd: most switches need aggregation enabling/configuring, have you configured it ? [10:30] you guys have got to tame that bot [10:31] coz_: what bot ? [10:31] ikonia: Ive got a USrobotics gig switch, any ideas what it would be called ? [10:31] ikonia: Flow Control ? [10:31] Bullterd: no, flow control is not agregation [10:31] Flannel, there was no off topic chatter here but none the less I have to break [10:31] ikonia: Dang. [10:32] Hi guy, which command can I use to open port 22 [10:32] Bullterd: dynamic port aggregation [10:32] spearsoft: it's open by default [10:32] anyone here know anything about the "ddclient" version in the Jaunty repos? i think the package is broken [10:32] ikonia, when I try to ssh , am told connection to port 22 refused why? [10:33] spearsoft: is sshd running on the server ? [10:33] ikonia: Here's my choices in the switch menu: http://www.upload3r.com/serve/070609/1244367169.jpg [10:33] Bullterd: doesn't look like it has an option for it [10:33] Dang [10:33] and it wouldnt be something thats just automagically enabled ? [10:33] Bullterd: no, would be dangerous to have that enabled [10:33] Which application can be used for download on-line documentations [10:34] Poo.

[10:45] Slart: webhttrack is crashed in my pc ubuntu 8.10 [10:45] how do i get keynames for keyboard keys for example KEY_DOWN is for down key [10:45] vigo: kinda lost me my friend, the only command i understood in that was what vim was, however i use "nano" (these might be totally unrealated programs, but i thought vim was a suped up txt editor etc.) [10:45] but what name for backspace or escape? [10:45] well, i thought that the problem is in the kernal/drivers, so switching to another distro might not help. if you say otherwise, please recommend another distroy where you think it will work and that you think is good [10:45] Padhu: that's the app I would try.. if you can't make that work you'd have to go with wget [10:45] can someone tell me why my cd drive is suddenly not recognizing my cd i just fixed my partitons [10:45] anyone know something better than gdesklets in which i can integrate a news RSS feed onto my desktop? ubuntu [10:46] myself: you want the text from the rss-feed to end up on your desktop? tried conky? [10:46] Slart: Ok. I will try it with Gwget [10:46] x2300 not support ubuntu 9.04? [10:46] !mount | lex0 [10:46] lex0: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [10:46] how can I add non free repositories to ubuntu> [10:46] ?

More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [10:47] gh0st: Vi or vim is THE text editor, or not. Make a backup, test the scripts with BIND9 and ddc then have fun. [10:47] quick question regarding users, me@my ubuntu box:~$ uptime [10:47] 10:46:00 up 14 days, 23:31, 3 users, load average: 0.07, 0.05, 0.04 [10:47] , why would there be 3 users, if only I have access to this PC? [10:47] can someone hilight me [10:47] vigo: what is BIND9? [10:47] ati x2300 not support ubuntu 9.04? [10:48] lungan: there is a test channel.. take a wild guess what it's called [10:48] slart, conky? ill check it out [10:48] How i can mount cue files in to virtual drive? [10:48] noone? [10:48] myself: conky is usually used to display drive space, processor usage and such.. but I think it can do rss feeds too [10:48] gh0st: That is what works or appears to work with the ddsclient [10:48] oh interesting, okay ill check it out [10:48] ernest: you can't, afaik... convert them to iso's.. bchunk will help [10:48] gorbierd, sup? [10:49] hi guys. having trouble getting write access over NFS. followed exports, fstab, UID & GID are as they should be. any ideas? [10:49] how do i get keynames for keyboard keys? [10:49] gh0st: Look at these threads: http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=60254005 [10:49] - reto` - read my response? [10:49] gorbierd: xev might get you key *codes*... not sure how to translate those to names though [10:49] matrixblue: can you explain how i can see the devices and mount my cdrom to the proper part on my hard disk...i just did some partitioning and i am kind of confused on what to do next [10:50] for example for exaple KEYDOWN etc.. [10:50] i have encrypted all my partitions with dm-crypt (except /boot of course), normally ubuntu will prompt for passwords on boot, this time however, it prompted twice (i reckon for swap & /), then when it wanted to prompt again (/home and /var), it went berserk and ended up saying "fsck.ext3: no such file or directory while trying to open /dev/mapper/sdc6_crypt [10:50] i need names for wiimote controll [10:50] sorry KEY_DOWN [10:50] gorbierd, sorry never tried that before [10:51] hey guys [10:51] matrixblue ok) [10:51] gorbierd: you have some software driver for the wiimote, right? [10:51] gh0st: and here> http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=60254065 [10:51] yep [10:51] gorbierd: and you're editing the config-file for this program, right? [10:51] Morkeleb: no... what was it? [10:51] yep) [10:51] Slart but i dunno what to enter for some keys... [10:52] lex0 you said you mounted the Cd-drive? What's the problem exactly? [10:52] reto`: well, i thought that the problem is in the kernal/drivers, so switching to another distro might not help. if you say otherwise, please recommend another distroy where you think it will work and that you think is good [10:52] gorbierd: then these keys could be called "Frank" and "Linus" for all we know.. it's up to the program, afaik [10:52] my problem: after a system-hangup i pressed strg+alt+f1 and f2 an have done a reboot as root via the terminal. now after a reboot i have no permissions with my home account to write anywhere. any ideas? [10:52] gorbierd: the program reads the config file and decides what to make of it.. you'll have to check the documentation for the app [10:52] no no it uses X11 names [10:52] just it^) [10:52] how can i end all activities/programs used by root? [10:52] matrixblue: no i recently deleted my old windows partiton so now i can use ubuntu on my full hdd, but now its not regocnizing my cd rom [10:53] matrixblue: i am sort of new to linux [10:53] Haw to use bchunk? I need to convert cue to iso? In termina bchunk xxxxx? [10:53] is it smart to install latest radeon fglrx driver on lts ubuntu? [10:53] gorbierd: and if I google for "x11 key names" nothing good will show up? [10:53] lex0 so when you put a cd in what happens? [10:53] nothing === stevecam is now known as Guest99196 [10:54] further i couldnt execute many programs witout being root [10:54] ubuntu is not automatically mounting two out of four encrypted partitions, any ideas why? [10:54] matrixblue: its like the computer doesnt even recognize it [10:54] having trouble getting write access over NFS. followed guides & exports, fstab, UID & GID are as they should be. any ideas? [10:54] i get thrown to an administrative shell and i can manually open/mount the partitions and read them === Guest99196 is now known as stevecam [10:55] Jangal: It worked for me, I do not know which Radeon ATI you are using, but the fglrx covers alot of them. [10:55] Morkeleb: as I said, Fedora is quite advanced... you might also try a distro with a very new kernel... it's trial and error... if you're lucky you can find one where it's working without any tweaking... but if you want to stick to ubuntu you can also try to make it work... but be warned... it can be a hassle [10:55] unfortunately [10:55] i got a question to all: does intel gma4500mhd works good on jaunty? i've to buy a new notebook that got it inside... [10:55] thanks [10:55] Meh I have like 3 major issues now [10:55] Whenever i boot up ubuntu i get the message: soft reset (device not ready) 3 times [10:56] now i got a lot of problems with JJ and Ati [10:56] whats the latest kernel currently, so i can check how up-to-date a distro is? [10:56] Morkeleb: you might try the live cds... you can can quickly find out if it works like that... put them on a usb stick with unetbootin [10:56] Second; Whenever i want to save a file it says i dont have enough diskpace,which i do [10:56] lex0, try typing this in terminal sudo mount /media/cdrom0/ -o unhide [10:57] How do i select default driver to save things on? [10:57] NOONE can help me?? [10:57] is there a guide how to use unetbootin - i'd thought of using an usb stick before instead of cd [10:57] ok, if anyone is following my problem -> booting with an older kernel seems to fix the problem? [10:57] matrixblue: mount: no medium found on /dev/sr0 [10:58] Morkeleb: you might want to use the windows version the linux one doesnt work the best [10:58] ANYONE know a GOOD thing to use for RSS feeding on the desktop in ubuntu???? [10:58] for GNOME [10:58] Morkeleb: uname -r, uname -a or some such shows you the installed kernel, the latest can be viewed at kernel.org, but the latest does not mean that it is compatible with whatever version you are using. [10:59] Hi! I've an ATI 9800XT (RV350) and I run Ubuntu 9.01. Can I install the drivers from ati.com or are they not ready for this ubuntu? [10:59] try g-desklets... [10:59] Guys how do i know which partition my E: drive is? === zach_ is now known as Guest30843 [10:59] Nubuntu: sudo fdisk -l [10:59] Well [10:59] lex0 copy the output of ls /dev/ in www.paste.ubuntu.com and send me the link [10:59] I get up like dev\sda, sda1,sda2 etc [10:59] That doesnt tell me anything [10:59] Nubuntu: sudo fdisk -l [11:00] I dont know better [11:00] k [11:00] stevecam: but with windows version you just mean the way to set up the bootable usb stick, right? [11:00] gorbierd: tried the names found on this page [11:00] Hi, what tool can I use to find the channels of surrounding wi-fi networks? [11:00] gorbierd: http://www.linuxcertif.com/man/5/dgenrc/ [11:01] If i have a shared D: driver for bioth windows and ubuntu softwares,should i change the filesystem in it to FAT32? [11:01] guys, is there any reason the .11 kernel (for 8.10) would mount 4 out of 4 encrypted partitions and the new .14 one would only mount 2 out of 4, then throw an error? [11:01] Morkeleb: yep... install unetbootin on windows [11:01] ok [11:01] Slart thax alot!! [11:01] thanx [11:01] bakarat: whats the error [11:01] does ati.com drivers work on your ubuntu 9 machines???? [11:01] thanx i mean) [11:01] Morkeleb: Morkeleb it's very easy to use... you can even download the different linux distros from the program [11:01] matrixblue: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/190196/ [11:01] lex0, do the same with ls /media/ too [11:02] stevecam, officially it was fsck complaining that the partition did not exist, but that was because it was not "setup" with equivalent of cryptsetup luksOpen [11:02] HOW DO i make a news RSS feed in GNOME appear on my DESKTOP [11:02] stevecam, i got thrown to a shell and could mount the drives manually without a problem, tried rebooting twice, didn't work, third time i selected an older kernel and it seems to be booting flawlessly now [11:02] myself: caps [11:02] matrixblue: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/190199/ [11:03] Hello all how i can update the db of the command locate ? [11:03] bakarat: im sorry i dont know how to help you, i was just suggesting that so someone else could see [11:03] stevecam, ah ok :) [11:04] Hi! What's the command to find out the name of the user? System installed long ago, I remember the password, but forgot my user name! :) [11:04] people I want to use a sound pipe under Ubuntu and streamit to the internet using ogg [11:04] bakarat: i recenly had another problem with new kernel, it seem quite strange,wouldnt read my hard drives, so i decided to install ubuntu [11:04] how would you go aboutdoing that? [11:06] I want to use the command I am asking above in SysRescue [11:07] lex0, also cat /etc/fstab [11:07] stevecam, o, well as soon as i reset my launchpad password, i'm gonna file a bug report :p [11:08] myself: Use Firefox or Epiphany, in Synaptic are a few also. [11:08] matrixblue: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/190200/ [11:08] vigo: i want like an RSS feed that is just integrated into my desktop background [11:09] myself, there are some screenlets for it i think [11:09] screenlets? [11:09] myself, personally for rss i recommend "liferea" [11:09] myself: Yes, look in Synaptic Package Manager>Gnome| search RSS [11:09] myself, sort of like widgets :p [11:09] myself, i'm not a big fan, but it's out there, best to google it a bit (or ask here) [11:09] What bakarat said [11:09] lex0, everything seems in order. put a cd in and pastebin ls /media/cdrom0/ [11:09] no google sucks [11:10] lol [11:10] what is FreeNX like? any cons and pros? [11:10] it is just a bunch of outdated stuff [11:10] if i use google to search for it [11:10] forum posts from 2005 [11:10] stevecam, only 2 userer allow to login i think [11:10] google tends to return old results first :p but afaik screenlets is still pretty popular in some circles and not outdated [11:10] ill check out liferea [11:10] but don't quote me on that ;) [11:10] myself: you can tweak it to just show you the posts of the last month or whatever you want [11:11] matrixblue: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/190202/ [11:11] myself: conky didn't work? [11:11] i just tried desklets and it was outdated and sucked [11:11] does anyone know how to find the channels of all available wireless networks? [11:11] no i just want something thats specifically made for RSS [11:11] Na-Fiann: kismet [11:11] myself i share your opinion that such contraptions for gnome generally suck :P hence liferea! [11:11] lex0, have you tried another cd? What kind of CD is this? [11:11] hehe what exactly is liferea? [11:12] it's a kickass rss reader [11:12] i use it 24/7 :p [11:12] okay :) [11:12] its a game [11:12] you're a game [11:12] reto':does it work for 802.11g as well? [11:12] reto`:does it work for 802.11g as well? [11:13] Na-Fiann: yes [11:13] (o btw, slightly offtopic as it's not a question or problem: i LOVE netbook remix!) [11:13] kk ty:) then synaptic lists it wrong [11:13] Na-Fiann: it states that it doesn't work with wit 11g? [11:14] reto`: "Kismet is a 802.11b wireless network sniffer. " [11:14] matrixblue: still not recognizing cds [11:15] lex0, what kind of cds are these? [11:15] Na-Fiann: I think it should work with anything your card supports [11:15] reto`: I'll try it out, thanks:) [11:15] games like GRID, crysis, and cdr which i had an iso on [11:15] they worked before [11:16] matrixblue: i noticed when i right click the cd rom drive it says mount [11:16] mount volume but it doesnt let me mount it like that === Guest30843 is now known as Single_one === nick is now known as Guest39268 [11:16] Na-Fiann: yw [11:16] anyone tell me the best perl tutorial to download [11:16] matrixblue: says unable to mount media [11:17] Hello, i am currently having problems with my graphics on my Ubuntu with the drivers, Advent 7113 with Intel940GML graphics [11:17] lex0, try sudo mount /media/cdrom0/ -o unhide and pastebin the output [11:17] so with liferea can i integrate a RSS feed into my desktop background or is this just a thing where i can just read a bunch of RSS feeds or w/e [11:17] bakarat [11:17] hi [11:18] has anyone tried to install freebsd from a usb stick? [11:19] matrixblue: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/190207/ [11:19] Can anybody help me with a graphics problem? [11:19] Guest39268: no [11:19] lol [11:20] stevecam, - Why not? [11:20] lex0, which version of ubuntu you're using? and did you just install using the same cd drive? [11:20] could you explain what is happening [11:21] jaunty the newest version...actually i used usb stick to do the partition [11:21] Well it runs normally like my effects however a game or anything else does not. watching a youtube video or a picture from a website which fades in is really laggy [11:21] hey guys, i got this programming trying to compile itself, and it's screaming about missing kernel :Makefile:145: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel [11:22] do yo guys know how i would re-install the kernel headers etc... [11:22] gasquetfan: you've noticed which channel you are in, right? [11:22] gasquetfan: cool nick :D [11:23] lex0, all your mount settings appear to be correct. Did this drive work outside of linux? Like can you boot into a live cd environment? [11:23] Well it runs normally like my effects however a game or anything else does not. watching a youtube video or a picture from a website which fades in is really laggy [11:23] myself, no integration into the desktop as far as i know [11:23] myself, that can only be accomplished with the desklets/screenlets/whatever [11:23] >:-) [11:24] matrixblue: yes i can [11:24] lex0, is this an IDE or sata cd-rom? [11:24] sata [11:26] While installing Ubuntu 9.04 alongside Windows 7 RC1 GRUB offered me to put the latter into the boot manager as a choice. Which it did. But after two days I actually chose to boot into Windows and my PC just rebooted. Is my install wrecked? I can still access all the files on my Windows partition (due to automount) [11:27] can i edit the partitions on a macbook without ubuntu installed with gparted on an ubuntu live cd? [11:27] ch_: probably yes [11:27] ch_: yes [11:27] any solutions matrixblue? [11:28] thanks erUSUL and Martineo [11:28] lex0, how long has this problem been occurring? [11:28] beac ~ search online for ubuntu grub and windows 7 ... grub might have some problems booting into windows 7. Although Windows 7 bootloader is supposed to be similar to Vista bootloader [11:28] beac: maybe you're getting a blue screen? you could try turning automatic reboot off (f8) after selecting win 7 to start [11:28] np ch_ [11:28] rohit: That seems like a good idea, considering it shows up as "Windows Vista" anyway. [11:28] i lv abrv [11:29] lex0: :D [11:29] I'll check that out [11:29] myself, btw, possibly blasmephous, but if you are dead-set on having widgets and what not, you may want to check out kubuntu :p [11:29] matrixblue: ever since i did the partiton a minute ago [11:29] how do i install kubuntu [11:29] can i get kubuntu [11:30] i eman [11:30] can i just switch over to kubuntu from ubuntu? [11:30] or how does it work [11:30] lex0, have you rebooted since then? [11:30] myself, you can either install from scratch, or you can simply install 1 package [11:30] well, how does the install 1 package work [11:30] myself, i think you can you just need to install the kde package [11:30] yes [11:30] and what about the gnome package? [11:30] let me try once more [11:30] so how exactly do i swtich from gnome to KDE [11:31] myself, you will be able to choose either Gnome or KDE while logging in ... [11:31] myself, i'm checking, not sure what the package is called :p [11:31] @myself > sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [11:31] ah there we go :p [11:31] okay, so once i get kubuntu, what do i do with the widgets [11:31] i have no idea [11:31] how do you know there are widgets [11:31] lol [11:31] never really used kde much, just know they are more about the pretsy stuff and widgets :p [11:31] hey, im trying to install injection patched wireless drivers on my ubuntu 9.04, but in doing so i may have lost wireless connectivity :P so im trying to reinstall the default ipw2200 drivers manually, but they say they need the package ieee80211 installed, so i downloaded the package, but cant get it to 'make' [11:31] well where do i get widgets for it [11:31] *shrugs* #kubuntu ? :p [11:32] Okay I have a hardware related question ... I currently have 4 GB of DDR II 667 Mhz RAM, running with a Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 2.5 Ghz processor ... will upgrading to DDR II 800 Mhz RAM make a big difference ? [11:33] rohit: why would you want to do that? [11:33] reto`, I thought it would increase performance :D [11:33] rohit, I doubt it would be noticeable [11:33] well at the price of RAM these days, it can't really hurt :P [11:33] Hi, is there a way to go a shortcut key or combo to go backwards navigation wise through the html elements in the browser (the opposite of navigating by tabs)? [11:34] matrixblue: still no go.. [11:34] Hi, I'm having a huge amount of trouble getting my wireless card to work - I've tried so much stuff with ndiswrapper and so on but I haven't had any luck. Can anyone offer any assistance? [11:34] matrixblue: it doesnt seem that the cdrom drive is mounted.. [11:35] teeps, more system information is required to answer that properly, but first off: have you updated your installation? [11:35] SpinachHead: can you please explain that better? [11:35] rohit: hmm... I don't think it would help much... it's certainly not worth the money [11:35] teeps, have you tried searching on google for ubuntu+ ? quite possible some one else also had the same problem :) [11:35] teeps, which version are you running? [11:35] lex0, run sudo cat /dev/scd0 [11:35] teeps: Ubuntu version and which wireless card? [11:35] reto`, hmm I guess your right... [11:35] bakarat: nope, just vanilla 9.04 - I have no connection for this comp exept wireless so I can't update [11:35] roit : I've tried that, no success with any of the solutions ive found [11:36] matrixblue: cat: /dev/scd0: No medium found [11:36] teeps: whatś the card? [11:36] cocobanana: lspci -nn gives Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [Airforce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4318] (rev 02) [11:37] is there an ubuntu server channel? [11:37] lex0, pastebin ls -la /dev/ [11:38] would grub work on the macbook? is it advisable to use that instead of bootcamp/> [11:39] so its an ASUS WL-138Gv2 [11:39] matrixblue: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/190215/ [11:39] teeps: that card can be easily enabled from the Hardware drivers page. But you need to use a wired connection. Are you connecting via a home router? [11:39] yes via a router [11:40] if i install the kubuntu package, will it be interconnected with ubuntu and stuff, i mean will all the programs and packages be shared between ubuntu and kubuntu so i can log into either and run both? [11:40] John Greek [11:40] teeps: surely the router must have wired ports, doesn't it? [11:40] yellabs: There are many in here that use servers and desktops , any desktop can be a server, sort of. === Zorro is now known as Guest16806 [11:40] myself: the software / applications will run on either desktop [11:40] but will they be the same [11:40] myself: you'll just change the window manager [11:41] Hi [11:41] basically i just change the explorer? [11:41] myself: what do you mean, bet the same ? [11:41] i mean like will they run the same window manager, use the same python packages, etc [11:41] i mean [11:41] like, run the same office programs [11:41] myself: they will use the graphics toolkit they where built again [11:41] chocobanana: yes but i'm not sure if we have any cables around at the moment...is there a way I can do it without connecting the computer? I can transfer files over from the laptop I'm currently on if required [11:41] like will i be running the same firefox in both of them? [11:41] yes [11:41] same, Wine, same Rhythmbox [11:41] yes [11:41] okay [11:41] i see [11:41] the different is the desktop/graphical toolkit [11:42] everything will be the same except your window manager, if you so choose [11:42] teeps: I don't know off hand, but I can assure you that if you manage to connect with cable it will be dead simple to get wireless working [11:42] i see [11:42] i see [11:42] lol [11:42] Sorry if im on the wrong channel, first time to use irc. My problem is Ubuntu default dictionary is no working. I get the message "Connection timeout for the dictionary server at 'dict.org:2628'" [11:42] That was funny [11:43] chocobanana: so i would just go into hardwar drivers and if it searched it would find the correct drivers and install them automatically? is there any chance that all this messing around ive done with ndiswrapper would prevent it from working correctly? [11:43] Guest16806, try accessing dict.org via a browser [11:43] do the atom cpu's support amd64 ? [11:43] teeps: most tutorials for that card assume you can connect with a wired connection [11:43] Thanks! [11:43] matrixblue: any ideas? [11:43] I installed Ubuntu 9.04 on an old Pentium III 450Mhz 128 Mb RAM a few days ago, found it way too slow, so tried Xubunty and also Fluxbuntu, but they didn't work for my situation, so now I'm back to Ubuntu and wanted to install Fluxbox on top of that. But now my regular Ubuntu installation seems faster (and workable!) than last time I installed it! The only difference is that I haven't yet installed all the updates the Update Manager [11:43] lex0, all of your symlinks point to the correct location and your fstab file is correct [11:43] teeps: yes, it would be that simple. No, I'm not sure of the consequences of having messed around with ndiswrapper already. [11:43] lex0, I'll searching to see what else could be the problem [11:44] matrixblue: ok [11:44] I thought you need a minimum of 256 MB RAM to install Ubuntu ? [11:44] not when using alternate installation CD [11:44] rohit: see Minimal [11:44] lex0, right click the cd drive and select eject. Just to see if it responds at all to the OS [11:44] Ah yes okay [11:44] DSL if you tying fluxbox might help [11:45] Why not try XFCE ? [11:45] to add more ram is cheap [11:45] 128 is really not fast, believe me i have tried often [11:45] XFCE better than fluxbox? [11:45] frowningfreezer: i would recommend xfce if you like the 'gnome' experience, but i recommend openbox wm [11:45] matrixblue: says unable to mount media [11:46] What is the software that lets you run AMIs under Ubuntu Server? http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/03/25/ubuntu_amazon_cloud/ [11:46] 128 is not fast no, but it seems to work okay at the moment - Im just trying to revive an old old machine [11:46] Does anyone here use screen with the strip at the bottom offered in 9.04?

I failed finding information regarding the versioning convention for Ubuntu (really Debian, I guess) packages. When I see '8.2.0-2' for a software versioned 8.2.0, what does that mean? And what does it mean when I see 8.2.0-0-ubuntu1 for software versioned 8.2.0? [11:52] if i hit alt-f2, it opens up a "Run Application" dialog. If I run an application from here, it is fine.

Any suggestions for an English to English Dictionary? [11:53] I think my menu.lst entry for Windows 7 might be screwed. How would I go about fixing this?

[12:00] ashmew2, by number of connections I meant concurrent number of connections - as in downloading the file in more than 2 parts at the same time [12:00] gartral: my bad there..but ok. [12:00] can anyone else -help me with getting my cd rom to respond? [12:00] ashmew2, so it's only with rapidshare ? [12:00] badnerd: Don't get banned. [12:00] yes its a CAT-5 [12:00] dakarn: That would be /dev/sda2/. Since the entry i'm referring to is "(hd0,0)", how would i go about changing it?

[12:02] hey guys! look at this crazy game made on OpenGL http://ptlancer.freehostia.com/ [12:02] irc.skyrock.net [12:02] badnerd: Does it have ChanServ? If yes, use it. [12:03] ashmew2, hmm calm down :P if it's happening only with firefox then it must be solvable .. but downloads get hung for rapidshare only ? [12:03] badnerd: these questions belong in #freenode, type /j #freenode and reask [12:03] * grawity is getting annoyed already. [12:03] ok thnx gartral i ll try it [12:03] Magnatoh: this is a support channel, please keep it to support topics [12:03] rohit: I am pretty sure its not only firefox..because i keep getting disconnected from yahoo messenger and IRC channels like i just did..Rapidshare/Megaupload/Filebase.to , everywhere , the problem's everywhere [12:04] dakarn: we already had a connection, we configured our eth0 ipv4 to "share with other computers", the option AUTO DHCP didnt work. but now both of them dont work?! [12:04] how can i make a program that runs in terminal (in this case irssi) have a different background color that the default for the terminal? (in this case, i would ant medium grey in place of white because i can't read the bright yellow for nick highlighting) [12:04] gartral: if your running it in a gnome-terminal use the terminal profile options [12:04] ashmew2, and none of this happens on Fedora ? Well that's strange - honestly I can't think of anything :( [12:04] gartral: or use .irssi to make a theme, there are examples on the irssi website [12:05] gartral: See Bash scripting Guide for colouring [12:05] rohit: Nothing like this on Fedora..I would use Fedora but it has its own issues which give me a headache anyways..Maybe installing Karmic would help ? [12:05] hi, how do i setup murrine 0.90.3 for use on ubuntu hardy? [12:05] hmm [12:05] In order to run Vino (remote desktop) do I need to have a video card installed? I booted up w/o vid card and I can ssh into the box [12:06] BoltClock: is there a package in the repo for murrine ?

[12:06] BoltClock: ok - so then you have to build it and configure it yourself [12:06] rohit: Been on the forums for 3 weeks now and IRC 4 days..No one knows [12:06] marv: a cross-over cable [12:06] ikonia: how do i check that i installed it successfully over gtk2-themes-murrine 0.53?

[12:09] !test [12:09] sigh... again? I'm busy here, I already told you it failed. [12:09] thevdi: is it that you aren't able to mount it? [12:09] thevdi: i mean, you could just force mount it, but i'm not sure if that'd fix your problem. have you tried that approach? [12:10] Unislash : Yes. If I boot into Windows and repair it, then return to Ubuntu, it will mount. But if I reboot afterwards, it becomes unmountable again [12:10] hi, i use ubuntu 9.04 and a raid system. cat /proc/mdstat says "inactive", how can i activate it? [12:10] marv: yes, then you should be able to ping each other [12:10] In order to run VNC (like vino, remote desktop) do I need to have a video card installed? I booted up w/o vid card and I can ssh into the box [12:10] I haven't tried to force it, no [12:10] Running fresh install of Eeebuntu and did a update and lost wireless any ideas [12:10] ok but i dont know the subnetworkmask [12:10] marv: 255.255.255.0 [12:10] well, can't hurt [12:10] hello, how can i install shockwave in ubuntu jaunty?

[12:13] Unislash: I tried sudo mount -a -o force and it still isn't mounting [12:13] petsounds , I dont think Shockwave is possible with Normal Firefox..Youll have to use something like IEs4Linux and install Shockwave inside it [12:13] thevdi: but yea... that'll (likely) allow you to mount it, but i don't know how to go about actually fixing the problem... [12:13] thanks erUSUL, lkonia ;) [12:13] rohit: thanks [12:14] ashmew: yes sir, there's no shockwave plugin for linux [12:14] thevdi: and, just checking, you do have ntfs-3g and ntfsprogs right [12:14] petsounds: You need it for online games ?

I booted up w/o vid card and I can ssh into the box [12:15] ashmew2: my 15 years old little brother want to play in habboand it requires shockwave to play [12:15] sry but i cant see any server in wolfenstein et, the network tab in nautilus also schows only my pc [12:15] aanonymouss: no; not on the remote machine afaics [12:15] thevdi: well, that's about the extent that i know how to fix hard drive mounting problems [12:15] petsounds: yeah...may i suggest blueprint @ teagames.com [12:16] Unislash: thanks [12:16] thevdi: hopefully you can find someone who's had the problem (or is just generally more knowledgeable than i ;) ) [12:16] petsounds: you can install wine, and run firefox + shockwave for windows in wine [12:16] erUSUL, any idea why I cant vnc into it then? [12:16] aanonymouss: nope... [12:17] erUSUL, what are afaics? [12:17] petsounds, I've heard that shockwave will work in the windows version of firefox that you can run using wine [12:17] the gateway in the ipv4 settings changed to 0.0.0.0 [12:17] aanonymouss: as far as i can see [12:17] ashmew2: okay thanks i will let my lil brother know [12:17] petsounds: np ;) [12:17] ikonia, any ideas or instructions?

[12:18] erUSUL, cariboo907 says vnc wont run w/o x running? [12:18] so i installed kubuntu, on ubuntu, how do i get into kubuntu? [12:19] aanonymouss: you need x libraries and programs you do not need a graphic card... X can display itself remotely [12:19] !vnc [12:19] also, if i want to remove kubuntu completely ,how do i do that [12:19] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [12:19] petsounds: wine doesn't support directx as well as opengl if you can change the game video settings over--i'm not familiar with this game however [12:19] myself, log out and select kde as your session on your login screen [12:19] In gparted: Where is the outer track of the harddisk?

(It depends on why are you hiding it) [12:21] !cloak | ashmew2 [12:21] ashmew2: Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as TOR due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks [12:21] marv: you shouldn't need a gateway because you're not connecting through a medium. for sending data back and forth you just need similar ip addresses on the same subnet mask [12:21] cloaks are traceable but arent they ? [12:21] i mean proxies are traceable also arent they [12:21] ashmew2: They are, but only by staffers.

[12:58] darkan: yes i was messing around with compiz but I dont know what i did [12:59] roxanna, maybe compiz (window decorator) go to system | preferences | appearance | visual effects and set to none, then re-enable [12:59] anto9us: i am using xubuntu and I cant find where you are leading me to === desti_T2 is now known as desti [12:59] how to install c++?

I have a working webcam and would like to know the name of an app that will let me take still snapshots.

Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [13:02] Help: I recently messed around with compiz and now my minimize, maxmize, and close buttons at the top of every window has dissappeared... [13:02] ive installed ubuntu on a machine and now need windows, is there any way i can repartition and add windows without nuking my ubuntu install [13:02] Also i am using xubuntu [13:02] neodemi, using GPartEd to resize the existing partition. Back up first!!! [13:03] roxanna_, do you have a visual effects tab in your appearance preferences? [13:03] okay, so I cracked my WPA2PSKTKID and bruteforced the router login, however, my computer name does not show up on the client list. Does my computer have a name in Linux? [13:03] waylandbill, can i do that while ubuntu is running, or do i need to do it from livecd? [13:03] anto9us: no, all it has is style, icons, fonts, settings... [13:03] I am connected to the internet, however, the client list only shows my laptop and my wired computer and not this one. [13:03] Hi, to clarify: When I tab through a browser it moves the focus forward through the elements such as textboxes, links etc. How do I move in the reverse direction? Is there an easy way? [13:03] neodemi, you will need to manually grub-install after since windows will overwrite the boot code. [13:04] neodemi, live cd. you can't resize a running partition. [13:04] so my question shortened, does linux assign computers a network name? [13:04] or just a mac address... [13:04] roxanna_, log out and back in should fix it [13:04] neodemi, if you know how to mount a drive and run grub-install you'll be fine. [13:05] sknnbones, .local usually works for me [13:05] i found a way to make a prompt :), i can use sudo -s to accept the password from the stdin, probably a security issue but its only for my own use [13:05] sknnbones: you have a network name === Guest88244 is now known as Xana [13:05] sudo -S * [13:05] i should be ok then, its pretty much the process i expected. time to get started :) [13:05] anto9us: ok its fixed, but when I mess around with compiz it gets messed up... any suggestions [13:06] sknnbones, hostname is the network name, but that doesn't mean that the dns server knows about the hostname necessarily. [13:06] i was just checking out the features on compiz [13:06] neodemi, good luck [13:06] roxanna, you can restart compiz with compiz --replace, maybe you could add a shortcut for that command somewhere to click when you do get into trouble [13:07] so why wont my computer showup on the connected client list? I am connected (typing to you now) and I am logged into the router... [13:07] has anyone tried to install ubuntu on an old iMac? PPC cpy. [13:07] it shows up when I use windows. [13:07] is there a way to check an USB drive for defects (not the filesystem) [13:07] sknnbones, that's a peculiarity of your router, maybe it just needs time [13:07] anto9us: it is definitely compiz... i messed with a configuration and now it gets funky when i apply any changes... ill just remove it then re add it [13:07] sknnbones, you are getting a dhcp address? If you were using static addressing, it would be one reason. [13:08] static for wired, dynamic for wireless [13:08] roxanna: check your kde themes [13:08] darkan: how do i check these kde themes you speak of [13:08] it cant be a theme bc everything is fine until i mess with compiz... [13:09] oh there I am, I just had to relog into the router. [13:09] thanks for the help XD [13:09] exco, typing dmesg and examine the last few lines, it changes when you connect/disconnect a device [13:09] roxanna, could be that the video card doesn't fully support compositing and is exhibiting symptoms of that. [13:09] i like jaunty [13:09] think its the best distro yet.. [13:09] hi [13:09] !skype [13:10] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [13:10] but you've got no audio =) [13:10] waylandbill: that may be it... but still wouldnt make sense!!! [13:10] anto9us: I know what device it is ... I just think the usb stick has defective "sectors" and I want to check to make sure [13:10] exco, a defective sector is bad. [13:11] hey all, what's is the strange pipe-like character in the command : sudo apt-get install “^ebox-.*” in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox#eBox%20Modules ? TIA [13:11] exco, if a usb storage device has 'defects' it would most certainly be detectable with errors in the filesystem. [13:11] exco, gparted can check the partition for errors [13:12] i am just going to uninstall compiz and maye that will hel [13:12] p [13:12] and re install it [13:12] hi, i got a intel hda onboard soundcard, but im not able to playback 5.1 surround sound via alsa, if i choose oss in e.g. kaffeine it works. any hints where to look? [13:13] roxanna, that won't reset it, rm ~/.compiz will reset it [13:13] ill be back! [13:13] Hello. Is it someone who knows where I can get drivers for my old graphic-card Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA 2164W [Millennium II]? [13:13] thanks, mint3, waylandbill, anto9us - I wasn't aware gparted could check the partition (will look into it) [13:13] I'm new with Ubuntu. [13:13] wow so that is how u reset all compiz configurations? [13:13] how to learn shell in ubuntu???? [13:13] where do i type that [13:13] hi kottizen [13:13] kottizen, what did u use before ? [13:13] roxanna, in a terminal window [13:14] mint3: Used what? [13:14] Hello!~ [13:14] etronik, if you mean the ^ and .*, those are regular expression tokens. ^ is beginning of string, .* is to match 0 or more characters of any value. [13:14] mint3: I have installed Ubuntu on an old computer without operativ system, and need a driver. [13:14] I can't format partitions successfully so I think the USB stick is dead [13:14] For the graphic/video-card. [13:14] !regexp [13:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about regexp [13:14] tht was all i needed to know [13:14] roxanna: it removes your configuration and replaces it with the default [13:14] i've just moved a ubuntu partition (was an extended partion including a swap partition) from one drive to another with gparted [13:15] how do I install grub again in this scenario? [13:15] yes that was what i needed [13:15] I'm trying to install 9.04 server using a USB stick prepared using UNetbootin... I'm stuck at the installing stage with a debootstrap error. [13:15] ok, how can i place a terminal shortcut button on my panel??? im using xubuntu [13:15] kottizen, which driver is it for ? [13:15] gnome is good [13:15] !gnome [13:15] xorg should have a terminal shortcut.. try super+t [13:15] GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu. To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. [13:15] exco, you getting errors? did you try mkfs in a terminal and examine the output? [13:15] mint3: i don't have the driver, i need it. it's for Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA 2164W [Millennium II] [13:16] Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA 2164W [Millennium II] [13:16] waylandbill: Thanks, that's not it, the webpage shows other characters in my browser... pasting into the chat windows showed them as “ and ” [13:16] that said lspci [13:16] roxanna: you should be able to right click panel, choose add to panel, then choose launcher [13:17] roxanna: Do you know how to add launchers to a panel? I don't recall Xubuntu offhand, but you will want to look out for an option that allows you to do so [13:17] etronik, replace those unicode quotes with standard " I think will fix that. [13:17] windows have defragment. does ubuntu have such thing? [13:17] or "add new items" is what it will say when you right click [13:17] waylandbill: will do thanks [13:17] mint3: no [13:18] waylandbill: ignoring those chars works as well [13:18] landswipe, /boot/grub/menu.lst has the configuration. Modify the partition location in there [13:18] mint3: never have to defrag a linux filesystem [13:18] min3, not really necessary [13:18] dakarn, why so ? [13:18] ok i reinstalled compiz and it kept the same configs as when i had it... any help out there to reset all configurations back to default for compiz? im using xubuntu [13:18] next problem guy: anybdy able to install ebox on 8.10 ? I'm having trouble with it [13:18] mint3, better designed file system, that's why! [13:18] someone know where i can get the driver for Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA 2164W [Millennium II]? [13:18] mint3: but if you want, you can type "sync" in terminal. [13:18] etronik, nice [13:19] mint3: I dont have the link, but there are several places where they describe why you dont have to defrag linux, better filesystem is the short answer [13:19] how do i view vnc in ubuntu [13:19] !sync [13:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about sync [13:19] vncviewer [13:19] roxanna: need to delete the .compiz folder in your /home/username folder [13:19] sync isn't interesting, just writes stuff out to disk [13:19] anzan, what does sync do ? [13:19] The program 'vncviewer' can be found in the following packages: [13:19] * xvnc4viewer [13:19] * xtightvncviewer [13:19] * tightvnc-java [13:19] * vnc-java [13:19] bin1010: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:19] Try `man sync` [13:20] any favs? [13:20] !paste | bin1010 [13:20] bin1010: 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 | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [13:20] mint3, the kernel handles the location of file chunks and will place or replace them as necessary. [13:20] i cant find the compiz folder [13:20] bin1010, there's your answer: install one of those [13:20] waylandbill, i typed it, nothing happened really. [13:20] can somebody enlighten me on the apt-get install errors with ebox here? http://paste.ubuntu.com/190257/ [13:21] roxanna, if you are looking for ~/.compiz, files starting with . are 'hidden' in the file browser. [13:21] etronik, run apt-get update [13:21] then try installing ebox [13:21] mint3: basically has to do with the way windows mess upp the fragments in a real mess, and linux places the fragments in a good way so you dont have to defrag, its like putting your stuffs on your room on the right place directly after you used it so you never have to clean, windows more like throws the things on the floor so you have to clean the room sometimes [13:21] roxanna: for a keyboard shortcut to terminal, go to settings > keyboard > shortcuts > and you can add one [13:21] lungan, thanks [13:21] hi ... my system is getting slow .. but ubuntu will not jack up the cpu speed .. what could be wrong? and how do i fix it? [13:22] Actually, for vnc, Applications->Network->Remote Desktop Viewer works really nicely for me [13:22] rexwin: I did, I get a problem with a public signature mesg that I dunno what to do with it, I added a new source as instructed by the community docs [13:22] you my want to enter the exact package name [13:22] k thanx for the keyboard shortcut... but i cant find .compiz in my home - user [13:22] lungan: I think it's more of the way there's just enough space for that particular file size at a certain time, so you need to link to different parts of the file all over the disk if the file grows. [13:22] roxanna: press ctrl+h to show hidden files [13:23] But yeah, Wikipedia has more interesting explanations on those filesystem details, I believe. [13:23] yes i have done that... [13:23] rexwin: I removed that new source from the sources.list , apt-get update and retry the install, and still the same messages [13:23] and you don't see it? [13:23] i went into config and found a .compiz folder? [13:23] wait not .compiz.. but a compiz [13:23] Can I remove Pidgin? If I can, how is this done in the most effective and clean way? [13:23] i went to home - user - .config [13:23] I have a working webcam and would like to know the name of an app that will let me take still snapshots. [13:24] mint3: i don't have the driver, i need it. it's for Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA 2164W [Millennium II] [13:24] Hello. Is it someone who knows where I can get drivers for my old graphic-card Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA 2164W [Millennium II]? [13:24] the volume on ubuntu 9.04 is too low, I can barely hear anything on max. How to fix this? [13:24] vigo: sudo aptitude purge pigdin in a terminal would be one way. [13:24] waylandbill: Thank you [13:24] np [13:24] so i just have to delete the compiz folder? [13:25] vigo: that will remove all configuration files (use remove rather than purge if you want to keep them) [13:25] one sec.. i don't use compiz let me make sure [13:25] iced|omg: are you sure about that, I have read this link wich i dont know how to paste for the moment:P [13:26] lungan: I believe so ... I'm not sure about NTFS, it wasn't covered in the lecture and I haven't had time to read up [13:26] csaba: do a right klick on the mixer and open the volume controle then open the mixer window and see if master and PCM are up [13:26] help please. why i have to unplug wlan whenever i booted ubuntu. if not, wlan is not recognized [13:26] iced|omg: how do i paste a link in irssi [13:27] definitely logging out and back in resets how i want it to be, but when i mess around with compiz it dissappears [13:27] lungan: is it in screen? [13:27] waylandbill: Ahh, yes, that is why I asked in those terms, seems that other pkgs rely on Pidgin or something, it is just a silly program to me that I never use, so aptitude remove pidgin just removes those specific pkgs? [13:27] iced|omg: ? [13:27] etronik, paste your sources.list [13:27] #jh [13:27] iced|omg: screen? [13:27] I use irssi only through screen and over an SSH connection :P [13:28] The pasting I usually do is handled either by PuTTY or screen. [13:28] after update the restrickted kernel module does not seems to work, its showing "module activated but not is use", wifi card chip is bcm4322 [13:28] vigo: yes, there are dependent libraries. They should be removed as well if no other pkgs depend on them. [13:28] any help ? [13:28] So I can't be sure how to do it using irssi. :P [13:28] iced|omg: okok [13:28] waylandbill: Thank you kindly [13:28] explain "messing around with it" [13:29] help please. why i have to unplug wlan whenever i booted ubuntu. if not, wlan is not recognized [13:29] sil3nt|warri0r: Not too sure there. I haven't enough experience with kernel modules to be honest. I assume this means the wifi isnt working now on your computer? [13:29] i click on reload window manager.. which reloads my 'screen' and shows the current options i picked [13:29] lungan: fragmentation is based on available space. FAT partitions were affected bad by this since their allocation unit size was so big. [13:29] iced|omg: yes, it was working, but now :( [13:30] waylandbill: do you know how do i paste in irssi? i have a link who i whanna paste [13:30] imsantoso: What WLAN adapter are you using? [13:30] is there a reason why the ubuntu build of urxvt doesn't support the Xft: syntax for fonts? It works fine on arch linux. [13:30] lungan, ctrl shift v iirc. [13:30] roxanna: do you have window decorations plugin enabled in the settings? [13:30] http://geekblog.oneandoneis2.org/index.php/2006/08/17/why_doesn_t_linux_need_defragmenting [13:30] lungan: workaround - put it into bit.ly, then type out the shorter URL :P [13:30] nperry: thank you [13:31] iced|omg: i click admin> pref > hardware drivers, oh its a driver [13:31] lungan, if it is in a terminal/tty, it would be based on the terminal/tty rather than irssi itself. [13:31] can anybody help out with the script that sends email if a process consumes more than say 20% CPU for say 3 minutes or more? [13:31] iced|omg: i used ralink rt73, it recognized. but i have to unplug and plug in again after boot [13:31] iced|omg: its showing that the driver is activated but not is use :( [13:32] iced|omg: its broadcom bcm4322 (dell 1510 wifi card) [13:32] Hm... imsantoso: I see.. can you unplug, plug in again, then check dmesg ? [13:32] rexwin: all of the sources.list ?? [13:32] cat /etc/apt/sources.list [13:32] Hi, I'd like to extract pictures from a PDF, what program could do that for me?

I would advise you google your device name and see what modules Ubuntu is attempting to load. [13:35] I'm using Jaunty and there's a few nasty bugs in totem that I'm trying to upgrade my way out of. [13:36] <_dr> hi, i just installed tpb (thinkpad button display driver) and now i want to autorun it during startup, how do i do that? [13:36] lamothe: Use the 'ugly' ones? [13:36] !autorun [13:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about autorun [13:36] vigo: Ta, that simple, hey? Are you familiar with the issues? [13:36] hi [13:37] vigo: right! aptitude doesn't have super cow powers. there's a way to make it draw a cow too. :-D [13:37] ım how to open wma sound? [13:37] lamothe: I ran into it today, used the 'ugly' set and it works. [13:37] <_dr> dakarn: the installation script put the files into /etc/rc*.d/ [13:37] hey channel [13:37] <_dr> shouldn't that work already? [13:37] _dr: System > Preferences > Sessions > Startup Programs [13:37] vigo: Ta will do. [13:37] ım how to open wma sound? [13:38] wmv [13:38] !wmv [13:38] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [13:38] waylandbill: I wanna see a cow! a Super Cow. [13:38] hey... I want to put my ubuntu hdd into another computer... how can I make it detect the hardware anew? do I have to reinstall it? [13:38] _dr: i don't use gnome but autorun.rc is how i load startups [13:39] ZubuntuX: need to get the restricted formats... the links above can help. Usually I would recommend installing the ubuntu-restricted package, though. [13:39] Sorry, ubuntu-restricted-extras [13:39] vigo: do "aptitude -v moo" and add more -v's "aptitude -v -v moo" and it will give different easter eggs. === nick is now known as Guest57943 [13:39] <_dr> dakarn: well, the thing is i'n used to bsd rc startup scripts [13:39] Anyone played with unetbootin before? [13:39] hey is there an easy way to uninstall ALL of Kubuntu if it was installed through ubuntu, and say, you dont want Kubuntu anymore or any of the stuff that came w/ it? [13:40] :) [13:40] <_dr> linux has this /etc/rc* stuff i'm not familiar with but after reading the documentation i thought putting it in rc2.d would work [13:40] <_dr> since 2 is the default runlevel [13:40] rete': First, make a backup, then is rather easy, may have to fix-grub if another OS is on it, may have to adjust BIOS a bit. [13:40] _dr: you're using ubuntu with gnome wm, correct? [13:40] vigo: although I think they changed it to a snake/elephant recently. [13:40] _dr: That's right. It seems to work. I haven't learned enough to explain how you can make rc3-5 different, though. [13:40] <_dr> dakarn: yes, but the system startup scripts don't have anything to do with my WM, or not? [13:41] _dr: depends on when you want them to load [13:41] let me rephrase my question. how do i know a process consumes more than say 20% CPU for say 3 minutes or more without using top? [13:42] <_dr> dakarn: hum... ok [13:42] rexwin, you could always look in /proc, I suppose [13:42] <_dr> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2009-06-06 17:53 /etc/rc2.d/S99tpb -> ../init.d/tpb [13:42] <_dr> shouldn't that work? [13:43] how can I recover folders, which are hidden by windows? [13:43] hi, i ran memtest87 with ubuntu live cd, its showing lot of errors :( , what is the use of memtest ? [13:43] Anyone have a link to the minimal installation CD? [13:44] _dr: there is ~/.gnome2/session where you can add it, or you can add it to xsession [13:44] after I install a bunch of libraries via build-dep, how do I get apt-get to leave them alone, it keeps uninstalling them? [13:44] Never mind, found it. [13:44] Fun stuff! Thank you kindly [13:44] Hello [13:44] World [13:44] _dr: there's also ~/.config/autostart [13:44] Anyone know if the minimal CD has fsck? [13:45] hey ım how to install ubuntu-restricted ? [13:45] games no audio, what could n=be wrong? [13:45] iced|omg: ? [13:45] has anyone tried to install ubuntu on an old iMac? PPC cpy. [13:45] ZubuntuX, open a terminal [13:45] ok.. [13:45] quidnunc: here>https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [13:45] <_dr> dakarn: i know what you mean, but i don't really think it's supposed to work that way [13:45] zubuntuX: enable restricted repositories in synaptic [13:45] ZubuntuX: try synaptic? [13:46] <_dr> since the installer script populated /etc/init.d [13:46] ZubuntuX, and type the following: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [13:46] well ebox is not installable on a LTS version :-/ I don't get the workarounds.. so quitting on the idea to install ebox !! :-( what a freakin shame [13:46] ok.. [13:46] :) orthodoc [13:46] <_dr> you don't run inetd from your gnome login session either, you know what i mean [13:46] and thanks iced|omg [13:47] games no audio, any idea what i need to do to get audio back [13:47] this for wmv and wma? [13:47] I would much prefer the terminal, but it is possible without the terminal as well. [13:47] orthodoc: Pulse maybe needed [13:48] i installed pulseaudio, vigo [13:48] orthodoc: Or use the Synaptic Fix [13:48] anyone got an idea why cpufreq scaling gets stuck at the lowest frequency randomly? [13:48] and I get no audio at all , no music and no audio in games [13:48] iced|omg: ım install ubuntu-restricted-extras for vmw and wmv [13:48] after [13:48] vigo, so i uninstalled pulseaudio [13:48] Yes, the restricted-extras package will give things like flash, mp3 support, java, as well as wmv or wma I believe. [13:49] Why not read the description in Synaptic? [13:49] without pulseaudio i am able to play music with alsa but suddenly no audio with games [13:49] ZubuntuX: you having problems with wma 9 format? [13:49] iced|omg: :D [13:49] vigo, whats synaptic fix [13:49] wma problem yes gladiator [13:49] iced|omg: ok. [13:50] %74 [13:50] iced|omg: i just unplug and plug wlan, and saw dmesg [13:50] ZubuntuX: do nudge me if you get it fixed! [13:50] orthodoc: In Synaptic there is a Fix Broken Packages tic, this can also be done in TUI or CUI. [13:50] thanks vigo i'll try that [13:50] after I install a bunch of libraries via build-dep, etc, how do I get apt-get to leave them alone, it keeps trying to uninstall them. [13:51] imsantoso_: OK, did you see any particular driver modules being loaded? [13:51] I am in 8.10 on this box [13:51] vigo, just one more question [13:51] ZubuntuX: installing w32codecs is supposed to help .. even though they didnt work for me .. did u try that out? [13:51] vigo: after installing pulse and starting pulseaudio i get an error msg [13:51] orthodoc: sure [13:51] gladiator: w32codecs is part of the ubuntu-restricted-extras package :) [13:52] vigo, : it says pa_pid_create() failed.. [13:52] iced: oh ok... [13:52] vigo: somethings wrong somewhere... [13:52] vigo, what could the error msg mean? [13:53] orthodoc: Yes, sounds like a conflict, did you also do the Qt thing? [13:53] how can I record the sound of my soundcard when recording something with gtk-recordmydeskop? sound device is set to 'DEFAULT' [13:53] no i did no qt thingy, vigo [13:53] _dr: did you check to see if it worked from the install? [13:54] vigo, what do i do to set it right? [13:54] orthodoc: Look it up on the forums, I have no idea about the game or its source code restrictions, but there is always a solution. [13:54] vigo, thanks [13:55] my wireless connection is not working what should i do? [13:55] stop paying it [13:55] orthodoc: The Qt thing was a suggestion for a possible fix, most all sound issues are lack of Pulse or some strange alien thing. [13:55] dam0: what error are you getting? [13:55] nothing [13:55] no error [13:55] just cant connect [13:56] my pc cant find the modem [13:56] dam0: what type of wireless card [13:56] are there repos like debian unstable in ubuntu? [13:58] Not too sure, cemunal. [13:59] dam0: run ifconfig in terminal: do you see wlan0 ? [13:59] Guys, is there a way to load particular kernel modules at boot time? [14:00] Hi, what's a graphical dial-up client for Ubuntu ? [14:00] iced|omg: should be under /etc/modules.conf [14:00] hey guys .. I have this problem with Flash in Firefox .. many times when i want to play a YouTube video Firefox will just close and have to be reopened ... [14:01] iced|omg: do only releases have repos? is not there any other repos in ubuntu? [14:01] zethero1: 64-bit ? [14:01] pbn: no [14:01] cemunal: look in Synaptic Configuration menu / Software source / updates [14:01] zetherol: +1 [14:01] OK, I'm going to abort the install attempt and boot my Vista box ... at least I can SSH into my Ubuntu box then. [14:02] zethero1: have you add flash plugin [14:02] dakarn; yes i see it [14:02] Hey guys, I was wondering, how can I install Apache, PHP and MySQL all at once in Ubuntu 9.04? I'm not using Server Edition, and I'm new to Ubuntu, so I have no idea what to do. Any help is much appreciated [14:02] Padhu: you talking to me ? [14:02] i diunno what sort of card [14:02] pbn - I suggest going to a terminal and using $ apt-cache search ppp (or modem or dialup) [14:02] pbn: I found one for KDE, it's called KPPP [14:02] hello everyone - I cannot seem to install 9.04 - there is a bug when I choose 'install ubuntu' in the menu - system hangs [14:02] I tried to install compiz in kubuntu jaunty, everything got messed up there' s broken packages and I can' t get it fixed with apt or synaptic; is there a dependency in the main repo ? I tried remove and install again and this is what I got : http://paste.ubuntu.com/190274/ (by the way, kwin doesn' t work anymore as well, can't get effects re-initiated [14:02] Garethp: how about xampp [14:02] imsantoso: yes of course .. otherwise I would not be able to watch any flash vids [14:03] MaT-dg: yes I use kppp on a KDE machine, but some fellow needs one for a Ubuntu Gnome machine.... [14:03] Thanks, I'll try that [14:03] pbn: pppconf in terminal [14:03] dam0: the file /etc/modules.conf defines how to load modules when they are requested (default parameters), which modules to load on kernel request (autoloading) etc. [14:03] dependancy-problem I mean [14:03] Padhu: ah ok. What about wvdial ? [14:03] zethro1: I installed opera [14:03] i want to be a programmer ,what should i do ~? [14:03] Garethp: It would be nice if someone came up with a LAMP package - but for now I think it would be good to install them separately. [14:03] Aliasa: start programming. [14:04] Padhu: you keep writing my ID wrong :) [14:04] aliasa: aquire a taste for coffee and cigarettes [14:04] :),How to start, [14:04] Aliasa: what languages would you like to learn? [14:04] C [14:04] iced: Do I have to compile any source codes or anything, because I have no idea how to do that [14:04] pbn: very nice one for dial-up. Now i am browsing wioth it [14:04] Install them and follow some tutorials. [14:04] Aliasa buy some books [14:04] zethero1: try to removed free flash plugin [14:04] Aliasa: there are several online tutorials. [14:04] www.cprogramming.com is pretty useful. [14:05] what kind of tools i should have? [14:05] pbn: RP-PPPoE is good one can compile from source [14:05] hello people! could anyone help me to clean up my system? cause my boot time is ridiculus and my ubuntu tooks something like 2-3 seconds to open a folder sometimes [14:05] emacs,Vi? [14:05] Garethp: nope, you just need to know what versions of each package you like. [14:05] imsantoso: I am using the Adobe Flash plugin [14:06] Aliasa: GCC the compiler, emacs is pretty cool for programming [14:06] Padhu: ok...thanks... is pppconf included on the 8.04.2 CD ? Because the fellow is on dialup, so I'll have to install from the CD, but without pppconf he won't be able to get on the Internet ... [14:06] bigpass: what is the resault of 'free -m' [14:06] Preferablly the latest. In all honesty, when I was using Windows I just downloaded a program called "EasyPHP" which installed everything for me [14:06] So something like $ sudo apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-php php5 mysql5 or something like that. [14:06] is swap is on? [14:06] sure ,i have gcc [14:06] Yes, packaged stuff is good like that. [14:06] pbn: you can install that on GNOME to, just tested it and it runs ok. Can't test the connection though since I don't have a phone line [14:06] MaT-dg: ah ok... [14:06] aliasa: you will need to get the build-essential package [14:06] But here at the cost of a little more effort, you get to control which packages you want to put together to really customise what you need. === EVil is now known as Guest60986 [14:07] that is...? [14:07] Aliasa: yeah, for compiling you should grab the build-essential package - it has the necessary libc6 headers. [14:07] #apt-get install build-essential [14:07] well I've noticed Debian has gnome-ppp .... Perhaps did someone build gnome-ppp for Ubuntu and put it somewhere on the Internet ? [14:07] okok [14:07] During an upgrade I lost the applet in the upper right corner that gave me the status of my system, (whether I was upgraded or not). How do I get that back? [14:07] zethero1: what version is your flash [14:08] zoldaa_: are you talking about conky? [14:08] pbn: It might be there already ... you may want to add universe / multiverse repositories, there may be similar programmes available elsewhere. [14:08] imsantoso: probably the latest ... how do I check? [14:08] zethero1: go to tools-> addons -> plugins [14:08] Of course, you could always get a deb for Debian, then use gdebi to install it - I think it will try to ask for the required dependencies as well.

[14:59] thx again [14:59] Phrozen_One, see 'man apt-key' [14:59] Or any sort of cryptography on communications that is. [14:59] Phrozen_One: wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/sun_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add - [14:59] Phrozen_One: just an example from virtualbox [15:00] Thats the problem, any method using wget seems to make it unique to each repository. So apt-key is the generic method? [15:00] I just have a quick question, if anyone knows the answer - is it possible to set apt-get to automatically install dev packages along with others? [15:00] I'd like to just install the dev packages for everything on my system [15:00] screamsayonara: if make works, you might want to edit the Makefile to ajust any paths since it doesn't use configure. :\ [15:01] screamsayonara: then you'll probably want 'make clean' if the clean target exists, then make again. [15:01] bc, im too much of a noob i just wanna play tiny tetris [15:01] screamsayonara: there's a few testris in `apt-cache search tetris` [15:01] Phrozen_One, yes bkraptor's example just pipes the output of wget to apt-key. [15:02] screamsayonara: uh, 'tetris' [15:02] Guys, I was just wondering if it is possible to boot a usb stick using heirens boot cd [15:02] screamsayonara: where'd you download it from? I'll take a look at it. I mean, it could already be built? [15:02] hmm so there is.. what does "cache" mean? [15:02] Phrozen_One, take a look at the PPAs on launchpad for a little tutorial.

[15:03] http://games.linux.sk/ [15:03] i built mplayer from svn repos, but when then I installed a vncviewer and that uninstalled all the build-dep that mplayer needed to run, is there a way to make apt-get/aptitude leave those alone? [15:03] basically I want to install ubuntu server but the machine does not allow me to boot from a usb [15:03] screamsayonara: various things, depending on context.

[15:06] CaptTofu: if your a bit more experienced, you could continue to use 7.10 and support it yourself with upgrades, you just can't expect support here if you were to do that [15:06] I am installing this on a friends. I have jaunty running fine on the normal AA1. this is the slighly bigger one. [15:06] bin1010: key word in what I said was "proper" [15:06] i love it wpa_supplicant is cool!! [15:06] oh right so ill just find something else to do with my time.. thanks for checking [15:06] CaptTofu: so better to upgrade to Hardy really [15:06] sebsebseb: I'm experienced, but hard-hit for time - so I'm attempting do-release-upgrade [15:06] screamsayonara: good idea :) [15:06] ?

[15:08] jrib: not following, what makes a package "proper" then [15:08] screamsayonara: they should have made it easy, but they did not, and it's questionable whether it would even compile. It may need some windows libs, for example. [15:08] !packaging | bin1010 [15:08] bin1010: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports [15:09] bin1010: well for one, it should list the needed deps... [15:09] but the depends are listed in the build-deps, I don't see anyway to add them as a --depends [15:10] Hello all! [15:10] plus if I list them out myself, I won't get the changes as they come down from upstream [15:10] any clue? [15:10] bin1010: huh? [15:10] bc, in general how would i know if i needed some lib things? [15:11] screamsayonara: either in their README, or by reading the source code (#include) or by just trying to build and see if it complains about missing libraries. [15:11] I'd like to sync my files (on my computer) with a pendrive (external disk), how can I do it? I'm thinking in flyback, but I don't think it's a good idea.

[15:21] JerrY_Trouper: no everywhere [15:22] boscop: sometimes if a device is not properly disconnected from windows it will not work in linux, does mount display the device? [15:22] boscop Widws will lock down after unclean shutdown. reboot windows or force it from linux. restarting windows is a better way [15:22] I think a solution to my issue may be here: http://www.aspireonekernel.com/ [15:22] Need help with samba domain. every time I try to add a winxp machine I get "The Parameter is incorrect" [15:23] I pasted my smb.conf "http://paste.ubuntu.com/190313/" [15:23] jefinc: it isn't there [15:24] Jack_Sparrow: ok, thanks [15:24] but windows did shut down normally [15:24] !fsck [15:24] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [15:24] can I backup a partition (/dev/sdb1) to a tar.gz file?

[15:45] Jack_Sparrow, but i don't understand why it's so messed up? i mean, grub simply overwrites the mbr, which in turn points to a "root" drive right? windows overwrote that, i overwrote it again, but it's still pointing to windows? what am i missing?

[16:04] ruud, trying to disable your dvdrom at start up are all together? [16:04] Gnutoo: the amount of swap in use will give you a clear picture... you should be using little to no swap. so yes, if you're using swap, more memory would help immensely. how much RAM does your system have? [16:04] ubuntu, are you sure you typed init=/bin/bash ? else you could try with a livecd [16:04] yeah, I have 2 dvdroms, 1 on sata wich works fine and 1 on pata that makes the system freeze [16:04] blue112: better you should use pidgin, pidgin is the next version of GAIM [16:04] !gaim [16:04] The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others.

[16:24] taylor_ I dont believe they can [16:24] taylor_: no, just grab the codecs [16:24] JohnCane yes [16:24] taylor_: it's very easy to add support [16:24] I know.

I have a macbook and i'm thinking about change to ubuntu, but i heard that macbook with ubuntu is heater than using macosx. I also heard that the battery life is shorter. Is this true? [16:25] Gnutoo: it will make a noticeable difference. to have 384 you probably have a 256 and a 128 stick, so pull out a 128 and add another 256 and you'll be at max. [16:25] i burned kubuntu, fedora etc. [16:25] Jack_Sparrow: okay, but in that i cant install anything on dev/sda1 ? [16:25] nul|o: rewriteables are yopour friend [16:25] PhotoJim, ok thanks a lot [16:25] JohnCane what error, [16:25] nullo: get a USB :) [16:25] Jack_Sparrow: yeah that's probably true [16:25] mogar: You can fix that [16:25] JohnCane do we have the output of sudo fdisk -l [16:26] nathan7: how? [16:26] mogar: Something acpi, cant help atm [16:26] Am working on wifi stuff [16:26] Jack_Sparrow: when i will install ubuntu, then i just dont get the opputunity to install anything on /dev/sda1 [16:27] Jack_Sparrow: i dont know, i run it in terminal now.. [16:27] Gnutoo: my guess is that the new upgrade is using enough more RAM that the system is consistently using swap, and that will reduce performance significantly. so adding even a modest 128 MB of RAM will free things up enough to help. might want to consider stopping upgrading the machine once you hit the next LTS (long term service) upgrade though. Ubuntu supports it for 2 years afterward.

[16:28] JohnCane you will need to create a new sda1 after looking at your fdisk -l [16:28] Jack_Sparrow: i have deleted it, it says in gparted "unallocated" [16:29] hi [16:29] ah yay, got it [16:29] create a new sda1 as ext3 [16:29] JohnCane set the mount point to / [16:30] How do I get unicornscan in Ubuntu? === tdn_ is now known as tdn [16:30] Jack_Sparrow: okay ill do that 2 sec [16:30] hi [16:30] should i even have to mess around with media drivers? [16:30] i dont' even know where to look up video hardware [16:30] JohnCane the next step would be to edit sda5 and set it as linux-swap if that is the correct partition of course [16:30] or config [16:31] Jack_Sparrow: how do i set the mount point ? [16:31] hey whats the best app you have on your ubuntu machine right now?

[16:35] zealiod: editors usually have special commands to go to a certain line number [16:36] zealiod why not just sudo nano /path/file [16:36] zealiod: on the console, you can use the editor `vim`, then press : and enter a number to go to that line, then edit it like you normally do in vim (hint: press i, make changes, escape) [16:36] zealiod: What program are you using? [16:36] or nano, of course [16:36] zealiod you can man sed for more too [16:36] mdg: im using vim and i want to automate this task as part of a shell script [16:36] JohnCane: there should be a specific choice for mount point other than the label, I think [16:37] dazjorz I have it under control for now thanks [16:37] zealiod: if you're automating, look at what Jack_Sparrow said - that's the way to go [16:37] dazjorz: i couldnt see others .. my ext3 has Label set to / now . [16:37] zealiod: #vim - wonderful people to help with that [16:37] Jack_Sparrow: he asked me, but sure :) [16:37] thanks guys [16:38] Hello everyone here [16:38] this si actually so helpful [16:38] is* [16:38] hi [16:38] Is there a way to have an embedded terminal at the bottem of a gedit session, so I can compile my C programs?

I already tried gtk-menu-popup. It works, but only for the screen which already works fine. [16:44] killgorack: yeah maybe there's a PPA for a later version [16:44] panfist: isnt that like a tv :P [16:44] killgorack: Ubuntu only does security updates in the repos [16:44] isn't that like what i said? "it's a 32" tv that i'm reading from abotu 8 feet away" [16:44] Jack_Sparrow: yes i have done all you told me, but it doesnt show anythong on my dekstop, but couldnt that be cause im using the live cd at the moment [16:44] !ppa > killgorack [16:44] killgorack, please see my private message [16:44] I just want to listen musics by headphone, and i can't [16:44] sebsebseb, sorry.. I'm new.. no idea what a repo or PPA.. [16:45] JohnCane correct, you should see windows after the install. [16:45] Tuxedo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [16:45] killgorack: oh right [16:45] !repo | killgorack [16:45] killgorack: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

I gots me some reading to do me thinks.. [16:45] Jack_Sparrow: okay, but when i set ntfs to /media/windows then it deletes it after it scans disks. [16:46] !pm > richardaum [16:46] richardaum, please see my private message [16:46] killgorack: and unless DEB's are provided by website servers, you would have to compile the software your self, install from source. [16:46] Jack_Sparrow: you sure it was /media/windows or what could be wrong , why it wont save the settings i give it .. ? [16:46] killgorack: PSP to sync? Playstaiton Portable? [16:46] JohnCane leave that sda2 alone for now [16:46] DEB's! hehe DOn't worry I 'll look it up.. I'll be enept jut for a little while === qss is now known as the-architect [16:46] !deb | killgorack [16:46] killgorack: deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. [16:47] Jack_Sparrow: so i shouldnt set the label7mount point to /media/windows on it or what ? [16:47] with the ubuntu live cd can it all be loaded to ram like some other distros had the "load to ram switch" at boot menu [16:47] sebsebseb lol yeah PSP = playstation portable [16:47] guys im in desperate need of help can someone tell me how do i stop SongBird from crashing on Ubuntu 9.04 its such a great program but ubuntu doesnt seem to wanna run it properly any ideas? [16:47] JohnCane setting to /media/windows should be fine. not sure why that isnt working atm. [16:47] * cemunal is ext4 file system default in Karmic Koala? [16:47] killgorack: or in the terminal sudo dpkg -i namegoeshere.deb to install them [16:47] cemunal: no [16:47] sebsebseb, sweet.. deb eh.. nice.. I use GNU I like it the best [16:47] !karmick > cemunal [16:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about karmick [16:47] ughh [16:47] cemunal: will it be in Fedora 11? yes [16:47] Jack_Sparrow: But is it important or what does it do ? === the-architect is now known as the_archit3ct [16:48] en1gma, with build-essential installed you'r probably ok, but why is it so important, if compiling fails try to install it then [16:48] JohnCane it is nothing we cant do later [16:48] killgorack: you use GNU? [16:48] Jack_Sparrow: okay then .. but what should i do now ? [16:48] JohnCane Time for breakfast so I need to go into lurk mode for a bit.. push on with the install [16:48] !9.109 > cemunal [16:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about 9.109 [16:48] !9.10 > cemunal [16:48] cemunal, please see my private message [16:48] zwartetoorts: Leuke nick.

[16:49] !gnu | killgorack [16:49] killgorack: G(NU's) N(ot) U(nix). A project that aimed to develop a complete operating system of Free Software, which Ubuntu is based on.

[16:49] Jack_Sparrow: alright i also need to eat now, but i stay on the chat so hope to see you later in here :) [16:49] isnt there a compatability mode perhaps like in windows seven? [16:49] true [16:49] killgorack: GNU Generally Not Unix [16:49] thanks for the help [16:49] how do i add a user to a group [16:49] sebsebseb: what are you talking about ? [16:49] sebsebseb: Wrong.

[16:51] killgorack: you got me confussed, saying you used GNU, and then talking about desktop environments [16:51] sorry I thought they were one in tyhe same [16:51] nathan7: Hoezo? === funkyHat is now known as funkyBat [16:51] I have some seriously borked fonts in ubuntu, only certain fonts seem broken [16:51] !fonts [16:51] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash?

[16:52] !ohmy > david [16:52] david, please see my private message [16:52] LoL I thought Kubuntu was kubuntu because of the "K"de, Xbuntu was Xubuntu because of the "X"fce, and regular old ubuntu used the gnome [16:52] Weed37: Gewoon [16:52] is that wrong? [16:52] Oops [16:52] zwartetoorts: Gewoon. [16:52] dakarn: well yeah pretty much, but to confuse things a little Linux distros have desktop envirionments and window managers [16:52] that's right [16:52] now I'm lost [16:52] hello i just did an nmap on myself and found several ports open should i close them? [16:53] Jack_Sparrow: I didn't mean it as an angry way, but I'll keep my phrasing smarter [16:53] killgorack http://xwinman.org/ [16:53] killgorack: there's more than just the window manager. it's also a selection of packages and libraries [16:53] feels like ze germans have attacked my fonts! [16:53] I have them all installed... and when I login I can choose what I use [16:53] nathan7: oh [16:53] david: don't be silly please. [16:53] I gotcha [16:53] hey folks, apt-get is telling me kernel 2.6.28.13-17 is available but is being held back as uninstallable how do I find out what dependancies are causing this? [16:53] hhggh [16:53] durt: do you have the proposed repos enabled ? [16:54] ikonia, yes [16:54] killgorack: Most Linux distros use the GNU tools to make the distro, as well as the Linux kernel, and something called xorg which runs your desktop environment, as in Gnome, KDE, and so on. [16:54] durt: I'd recommend disabling that for starters [16:54] ikonia: allright. Fonts are broken in a way that they gradually "dissolve" into pixelated blurs over time. [16:54] hai nathan7 [16:54] Hi Weed37 [16:54] phil__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia - maybe something here? [16:54] hi [16:54] This can be "reset" by changing fontrendering under "appearance" to another mode [16:54] durt: the proposed packages are unstable and will often have no-met dependencies [16:54] hi test [16:54] should i close port 80? [16:54] I think I'm pointed in the correct direction.. just a little more depth than I previously assumed.. [16:55] killgorack: back to Banshee now then [16:55] apparently it's difficult to pinpoint the reason of this "bug" or gfx-flaw [16:55] killgorack: I am not sure about Banshee and syncing PSP's, I know it can with Ipods [16:55] nspluginviewer crashes but the backtrace is not usable. What to do? [16:55] sebsebseb, lol yea lemme get to those URLS [16:55] sebsebseb you may like that link on xwinman [16:55] ikonia, any thoughts on how to see these unmet deps, so I can make a decision about it? [16:55] sebsebseb, I have an ipod.. but it's a touch.. I don't think you can with one of those.. === funkyBat is now known as funkyHat [16:56] must be some sort of gfx-card setting? [16:56] durt: you can't - they may not be released, hence why using proposed is not something I'd suggest [16:56] killgorack: I think a few people have even got the touch to work, but it will be complacted [16:56] well I think we've derived to the conclusion that something complicated at this point is outa the question for now ;0) [16:56] anyone know how to stop connect to server from opening in gedit i pressed it by mistake with open with and cant get it to act normal again I still get teh server but gedit opens first lol [16:57] ikonia, well nothings broken and I don't think it's a security update so I'll leave it for now, thanks. [16:57] how does checkinstall know what to install when you set --install=yes? [16:57] durt: again - I'd strongly recommend disabling it unless you know what you are getting and how to test it [16:57] please help me should i close the open ports?????? [16:58] noobinoob: up to you [16:58] join #ubuntu-de [16:58] Jack_Sparrow: yeah that's a good link, thanks [16:58] np [16:58] ikonia ummm ok. i dont know how i got apache or ssh... [16:59] noobinoob: what do you mean you don't know how you got them - you installed them [16:59] ikonia no i didnt :P [16:59] killgorack: I think this might work, virtual machine Windows in the virtualbox that has USB support, so the one from the website. plug in ipod touch and hopefuly [16:59] noobinoob: you did, so if you don't want them, remove them [17:00] noobinoob what version.release or flavor of ubuntu did you install [17:00] anyone? [17:00] test1: anyone what ? [17:00] sebsebseb, I have itunes on a windows machine for that.. not really interested in getting it working in here "yet" [17:00] well i hope its not the case but i think ill be mainly on windows its ridiculous linux doesnt support songbird [17:01] Jack_Sparrow: you should check your answering mechanism... I know now why I didn't see your questions/answers. if you answer someone you'll have to use "name:" not "name" otherwise it won't get highlighted [17:01] phil__: Did you see my link? [17:01] im this close to delete the ubuntu partition [17:01] killgorack: yep with enough RAM you can run Windows inside Ubuntu or another distro. Oh and the amount of times I have typed this kind of thing: It won't be good for 3D Windows games for example though. [17:01] mdg it doesnt link me there [17:01] I guess the real question is that I have a few programs that I build from svn using that projects' stuff to build. Most of the time its just ./configure && make. Anyway, I am building package with checkinstall and I am wondering how it figures out what to package? I guess its from the current directory, but how does it find all the executables, etc? [17:01] hehe thats crazy... [17:01] sigh [17:01] phil__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [17:01] Is this channel modded and full of grumpy old farts like #fedora?

[17:05] does the songbird site have the db package so i wont need the command line? [17:05] phil__: No experience with Win 7, very little with Vista [17:05] what is compatability mode? [17:05] phil__: db package? [17:05] Help;; [17:05] like on getdb.com [17:05] this is confusing me, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall in the 'Use CheckInstall with auto-apt' section. Does checkinstall add the necessary --depends entries for the made package? I haven't found anything that suggests either way. === saulus_ is now known as SauLus [17:05] grawity yup i googled it. but dont know why it is here in my ubuntu....

It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [17:08] Does anyone have an idea as to why it happens, it happens randomly, it's really annoying, and it seems everything else lags up too, as if the video driver isn't loading [17:08] ikonia, Jack_Sparrow, port 31337? Elite? Back Orifice? [17:08] ARMENIAN multiple monitors, are you using a kvm switch etc? [17:08] im sorry jack did i say something wrong? [17:08] phil__: this is an ubuntu support channel only [17:08] wow, what was up with that? [17:09] phil__: go ask in #puppylinux what they think of windows7 :) but its not nice... [17:09] Hi, is there anything wrong with Wubi? im trying to install it since yesterday but their server seems to be down. === iceman_ is now known as icyman [17:09] mib_o8ma5c: things can go wrong with Wubi yes [17:09] well what did i say i asked about an open source software which i have problems running on ubuntu how is that not related to the ubuntu support channel enlighten maybe im just dumb? [17:10] phil__: for songbird. - i tend to use the binary packages from the songbird homepage.. more up to date that way. [17:10] Jack_Sparrow: nah, I only have one monitor [17:10] Yop [17:10] sebastian_: so thats why the server is down? [17:10] mib_o8ma5c For one I wont use, recommend or provide support for something I feel is a bad product [17:10] mib_o8ma5c: probably not [17:10] Jack_Sparrow: same thing used to happen in Linux Mint when I had it before, quite odd [17:10] Hi, I was resizing an NTFS partition, and when I came back to the computer it said it was a FAT16 partition with 300GB used and 15.6MB available. [17:10] ARMENIAN I heard quite common in mint, but not usually ubuntu [17:11] Jack_Sparrow: :) thought you would say something about Wubi, and if not I would have asked you to [17:11] i liked linux mint but i think #! is better for my current tastes [17:11] phil__: you mean like last.fm and such? [17:11] dakarn: i find it easier to just stick with the normal ubuntu, and install/tweak what i need. [17:11] if you wanted to you could get ubuntu to look just like linux mint, just takes some more time [17:11] i didnt say anything of last fm [17:11] Thanks a lot. [17:11] have a nice day all. [17:11] Balisttoo [17:11] mib_o8ma5c: your better off partitining your hard disk :) [17:12] as a matter affect im from israel so last fm is blocked to me these no good......

[17:12] yea that's what I have.. [17:12] they should just say ubuntu version.. bla bla..

[17:16] another thing is, I can't even get into the Display prefrences menu to change it [17:16] dr: regular ubuntu is bloated =o [17:16] ikonia: ok thanks [17:16] man, that frenchie was rude [17:16] ARMENIAN Monitor detection is one area to look at, [17:16] Browsing the ubuntu site I can't seem to find which version of Java, Netbeans, and Eclipse that 9.04 comes with. [17:16] lets move on then please. [17:16] !java > perlmonkey2 [17:16] perlmonkey2, please see my private message [17:17] Jack_Sparrow: not sure what u mean?

[17:19] i've got a atheros wifi card in my laptop, it used to work quite good, but now it stopped. After some update of ubuntu, it's no longer possible to enable it [17:19] i was still using the windows wildcards (*.*) [17:19] :P [17:19] I'm downloading Ubuntu server. It offers me to download 64 bit (default it says) and 32 bit. I am setting up on an old Intel Pentium 4 PC. If I choose 64bit it says "Computer platform: AMD64". This is confusing me. Is the 64-bit platform for AMD only??? [17:19] so, I plugged a hard drive in via USB and it appears in dmesg but not in the output of fdisk -l. I try to mount it using mount -t ntfs /dev/sdc1 /mnt/disk1/ but it fails. Can anyone help? [17:19] ARMENIAN Much better question, that one should bring results [17:20] appel: no - fot intel too [17:20] appel: any x86 64 bit cpu [17:20] appel, no but choose 32 bit for a Pentium 4 [17:20] NickHahnelt: What kind of security are you using? What kind of card? What version of ubuntu? [17:20] appel: 64 bit is for processors that support it [17:20] cabrey: ok [17:20] isn't p4 64bit? [17:20] newest version of ubuntu, 9.04? and WPA/WPA2 [17:20] appel: just go for a 32 if you want to be sure itll work [17:20] appel: if you don't know - use 32bit [17:20] appel: you won'd have a need for 64bit [17:20] no, 64 us more common to dual core [17:20] ok, thank you all, i'm assured [17:21] appel, you could try 64 bit but you'll find out right away if it doesn't work [17:21] NickHahnelt: What does the command "iwlist" in a terminal show you? [17:21] Is it possible to display the CPU-temperature on an Intel Atom? [17:21] ikonia: pmed the link [17:21] OleJon, do you have a netbook? [17:21] no, Acer Revo HTPC [17:21] OleJon: bios, it does sound like eeepc to me [17:21] samad909: so you hav e [17:21] that's a good question, gonna have to walk me through the whole thing if you don't mind, I just installed ubuntu today [17:22] SmithKurosaki: Yeah, I can display it in BIOS, but can't find a way to display it in Linux... [17:22] So it is possible to install the non-free or fully GPL'd Sun Java from apt-get and the standard repos? That's pretty cool. But does anyone know anything about when Eclipse is planned on being updated? Next Ubuntu release? [17:22] hi is there any program for ubuntu in what i can search in limewire servers? [17:22] OleJon, a special kernel or a kernel module is most likely required [17:22] samad909: that looks a pretty reasonable config [17:22] cabrey: Bah.. :P [17:22] samad909: how are you stopping/starting it ? [17:23] NickHahnelt: I don't have 9.04 - tell what wifi manager it uses - Gnome or WICD? [17:23] ikonia: sudo invoke-rc.d vsftpd start [17:23] OleJon, look into gkrellm [17:23] hey guys [17:23] samad909: so all sensible and it complains that ftp is not a valid user [17:23] ikonia: yes [17:23] ĵust want to know if someone will take care of my problem in the next time? [17:23] cabrey: Well, I uses lm-sensors and /proc/acpi like the others right? Those doesn't give anything [17:23] anyone know how i can make a program startup automatically when the computer starts? [17:23] samad909: thats very very odd as it all looks good [17:23] atila339: may i suggest canning limewire and torrenting instead, its much less risky in general [17:23] Is it possible to get BANSHEE to recognise a PSP as a media player? [17:24] sg3: Are you running KDE or Gnome? [17:24] cabrey: I'm using the sensors-applet for the GNOME-panel which uses lm-sensors and /proc/acpi [17:24] gnome [17:24] ikonia: when connecting to ftpd it says 500: Oops: Cannot locate user entry "ftp" [17:24] NickHahnelt: Right clikc on the network icon on the menu bar [17:24] icyman: using gnome [17:24] ikonia: also i cant do a sudo su ftp [17:24] !conky | 0leJon [17:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about conky [17:24] samad909: you won't be able to su to ftp unless you set a password and a shell [17:24] sg3: Go to System > Preferences > Startup Applications [17:24] icyman: i tried that i dontthink it worked [17:24] yup [17:24] ikonia: shall i just delete the fpt user and again sudo adduser --disabled-login ftp? [17:24] ftp* [17:24] im trying to get it to start screen [17:25] samad909: you can try it [17:25] sg3: Start which program? [17:25] David___, the info you need is on the Banshee wiki, but it is down right now [17:25] NickHahnelt: What's it tell you about network connection? [17:25] its this thing called screen [17:25] yeah check out conky to display anything [17:25] screen, a terminal you can suspend [17:25] its like terminal [17:25] dakarn: I can try Conky, but I think it also uses lm-sensors and /proc/acpi which as I said doesn't give anything [17:25] yeah [17:25] right sg3? [17:25] yes smith [17:25] yea I know.. been there a coupla times.. it's been haxed... [17:25] so rude [17:25] sg3: in startup applications, press add [17:25] NickHahnelt: Is "Enable Networking" checked? [17:25] I have an Ati radeon X800gt and for some reason sometimes I would boot into Ubuntu and my resolution would be very low, it would require me to boot into recovery mode to get normal resolution and then after a few more reboots I would experience the same problem again, I can't even get into the Display Properties window to change it [17:25] Type a name, as the command, type screen [17:26] ok thanks smithKurosaki [17:26] ya, both the boxes are checked [17:26] David___, acording to this (http://www.nabble.com/PSP-Doesn't-sync-td17837729.html) the info on the wiki worked, maybe try google cached? [17:26] no [17:26] ikonia: same error, will it run as root if i comment out nopriv_user? [17:26] samad909: yes [17:26] or the wayback machine YEA lemme try that you're the man!! [17:26] NickHahnelt: Right click again and choose Edit connections [17:26] np* atila339, i do suggest ktorrent for a client and isohunt.com for torrent searching [17:26] mdg: it recognizes the connections, and comes up with the password request whenever I try to connect, but then it just repeatedly tries to connect without actually doing it [17:26] sg3: I see your problem, screen is a terminal application, isn't it? [17:26] yeah it is [17:27] i want it to open on startup so later i can connect to it from other machines [17:27] it doesnt work right if you open it from a remote [17:27] NickHahnelt: what wifi card do you have? [17:27] sg3, screen does that, you just need to "detach" the terminal [17:28] how do I find that out? [17:28] sg3, what are you using? ive had no problems remote screening before [17:28] lspci [17:28] hello, does anybody knows how to make mounting of SATA ext3 disk with permissions to write? [17:28] i actually installed it remotely [17:28] sg3: use the command gnome-terminal -x screen [17:28] ikonia: how about sudo adduser --disabled-password ftp [17:28] It will start the terminal with your application === janne is now known as Skiessi [17:28] NickHahnelt: I mean in a terminal type "lspci" [17:28] GAH! cache n google no good either ;0( [17:29] SmithKurosaki: its weird if i start screen remotely i cant start any programs that use x [17:29] sg3: you're not running screen before connecting to the remote machine are you? [17:29] but if i start it on the server then attach to it from a remote it works perfectly [17:29] nope scunzi [17:29] 0lejon: i'm not sure how conky gets the temp but i'm sure it's from the /proc/acpi [17:29] NickHahnelt: Is this built-in wifi? [17:29] Ralink RT2860 [17:29] ikonia: nothing, just tried that too [17:29] that's my network controller [17:30] I'm connected by ethernet cable [17:30] atm [17:30] hmm... can screen be used to start x windows apps? [17:30] sg3: ahh, to solve that problem, you login into the server through a program like nx (server and client programs needed) or you can use ssh -XC name@host [17:30] Anyone know if Perl 5.10 is on 9.04 and if the binary cpan is frowned upon by the maintainers and all libs should come from apt-get? [17:30] ooh i never tried the -XC [17:30] and that will generate a local xserver [17:30] lemme give that a shot see what happens [17:31] ikona: got it to work, removed the quotes from ftp [17:31] !perl [17:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about perl [17:31] ikona: nopriv_user="ftp" < wrong || nopriv_user=ftp < correct ;) [17:31] NickHahnelt: This is a netbook? [17:31] if you are doing that, i do suggest using nx though, its much easier and you can suspend session that way, so you are never offline [17:31] actually it reads from /sys/bus/i2c/devices/****/temp2_input [17:31] ikonia: nopriv_user="ftp" < wrong || nopriv_user=ftp < correct ;) [17:31] laptop [17:31] alright ill look into nx [17:31] thanks [17:32] np :) [17:32] what is the difference between "xarchive" and "xarchiver" ? [17:32] ikonia: it works now, thanks for helping out ;) [17:33] NickHahnelt: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=683085&page=5 [17:33] mdg: thanks for the help [17:33] NickHahnelt: It takes a little extra work [17:33] NickHahnelt: Your welcom [17:33] welcom/welcome [17:34] hi guys i have a problem here whenever i try to install anything over the add/remove tab i get this message ''E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

[17:50] maurizio: type lsmod in a terminal and see if you see anything related to sound [17:50] Jack_Sparrow: Hey are you here again ? [17:50] bogdan_: actually.. just apt-get install linux-headers build-essentials (the last one is just in case) [17:50] and here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/190381/ [17:50] bogdan_: that should install headers if there are not there yet.. [17:50] bogdan_:that still leaves you will the missing kernel module tough.. check google on that file [17:51] k [17:51] does anybody knows where can i get cubase support (not by their site)? [17:51] can anyone help me out [17:52] is there a fix for the Nvidia tv-out scaling problem yet? ifso can someone point me to it? (nv driver 180) [17:52] Vampires, cubase is a windows/osx app [17:52] bogdan_: so check google on more info on gspca, specifically the kernel module.. and do "apt-get install linux-headers"... if the latter gives you an error of that you have to specify a specific one, just select the one (from the presented list) that matches your kernel version [17:53] mdg: everything seems to be fine... there isn't any error... [17:53] golempje, have you updated your drivers? [17:53] i did try the latest 1 and still same prob [17:53] maurizio: Try turning up sound with the laptop Fn keys [17:53] Is there a program that can create a customized ubuntu install CD with the packages that I want and some commands automatically executed? I need to have a non-interactive install CD that I can just copy 50 times, shove one in each new server that I get and when the server boots it will automatically install ubuntu, reboot and leave the server ready to run... === tsk is now known as Guest27506 [17:54] golempje, if that feature is through the nvidia drivers, there is nothing we can do, the nvidia drivers are proprietary === dan_ is now known as ddamron [17:54] phoenixz: there is, but I don't know what it's called [17:54] k tnx m8 gues ill have to keep my windows partition alive for the sake of my popcorn and movie times [17:54] golempje: have you tried the open source drivers? [17:54] phoenixz, can't you PXE boot each server and install? [17:54] sebsebseb: Im pretty sure too there is but.. I have the same problem :) [17:55] only driver that doesnt give the problem is the basic NV driver that comes with ubuntu ...but makes my comp so slow :) [17:55] cabrey: could be an option too.. I'll investigate it [17:55] mdg there aren't fn keys to turn up the volume... :(ù [17:56] can anyone tell me what the command is to create a package before install?

[17:57] has anyone ever used multiple sound cards with ubuntu or does it support that sort of thing [17:57] golempje: you could make a quickfix with using 2 different X config files [17:57] phoenixz: for an overview see http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/features/autodeploy [17:57] golempje: one xconfig uses driver NV closed source.. the other is open (and only for video) [17:57] yeah and use the nv on 1 and nvidia on other i was thinking the same [17:58] mdg it's already at its max [17:58] thx for the innput gues ill b doing that then [17:58] hallo [17:59] maurizio: Menu, Preferences, Sound - and choose something other than autodetect [17:59] and test it [17:59] mdg done, but no sound still [18:00] do you have a headset you can tryin in the headset plug?

[18:01] maurizio: hmm...... [18:01] hello [18:01] I'm having problems with my sound. I'm using Gnome under Jaunty. The sound will only work if I set the sound preferences on HDA (OSS). The other options (autodetect, or the "plain" ALSA, OSS or pulseaudio options) do not work, only produce a static sound in the speakers. I followed instructions in: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130384 and the troubleshooting links in it, but nothing helps. [18:02] geirha, will give it a try, thanks [18:02] I got problem with nvidia drivers. I installed them, and got error: [18:02] Error: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 180.44, but this NVIDIA driver component has version 185.18.14.

[18:03] and i run it as root [18:04] voldenet, uninstall them [18:04] eh? [18:04] voldenet, then go to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [18:04] voldenet: you did try the version in the repos first? [18:04] Dr_Willis these drivers are old [18:04] voldenet: so..

[18:05] i'm trying to resolve problems ;P [18:05] ould it be possible to have a "virgin" server (no os yet) boot from PXE and have it automatically download and execute an ubuntu installer? [18:05] sounds like you got parts of the old and new. You may want to try the envyng tool.

[18:19] phoenixz: It's probably handled by inetd, so telnetd will be started when you try to connect. [18:19] torch_, Sound App -> PulseAudio -> Alsa/Kernel -> Hardware [18:20] geirha: ah... So I thouht but should apt-get then not also install inetd? AFAIK, its not installed yet [18:20] so Pulse Audio works off the Alsa base then?

[18:40] thanks mdg. sorry to see you leave. [18:41] mdg: Hmm... It's not the same case. I can use my sound system --- if I choose HDA OSS from System/preferences/sounds. But choosing the pulseaudio server produce static, as well as applications that want to use pulseaudio (like xine) [18:41] what does PIT stands for in VBOX logs? [18:42] hi [18:42] will vlc be upgraded on official repositories? [18:42] in jaunty? [18:43] hi. how do i set which sound device gnome adjusts when i use the volume up/down function keys on my laptop? [18:43] hi [18:45] someone wanted me?? [18:45] hey all [18:46] mudittuli: the same as in any computer ? Programable interrupt timer [18:46] Hi, i got a free p3 pc with 128mb, i heard Linux runs faster than Windows on older hardware, is that true? [18:46] !latest | rom1v [18:46] rom1v: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. [18:46] Martir, yup [18:46] Martir: if you have correct distro [18:46] It has 128mb ram, so i dont think xp will run very well [18:46] Martir: ,but I expect later Ubuntu Desktop CD's won't even boot up on 128MB RAM, but there's a swap trick [18:47] Martir: also the alternate CD [18:47] Martir, XP should boot up [18:47] Martir: RAM is cheaper than dirt. why not just buy some? [18:47] erUSUL: thanks!, i was ignorant about it [18:47] you'll be happier with your machine no matter which OS you decide to go for [18:47] Martir: it is true but you will have to chhose a distro for low resources computers like puppy linux or dsl [18:48] Well yeah but i dont really have a purpose for it yet, so i thought maybe i can expiriment with linux [18:48] Martir: if you use the Gparted Live CD, and put a 512MB or so swap partition on there, then boot up from the Ubuntu Desktop CD for later versions, it should work [18:48] without messing up my own pc [18:48] Martir::: i just installed ubuntu on a p1 166mhz, with 98mb of ram === ehehe is now known as info [18:48] Martir: without the swap partition already on there, it probably won't boot up properly [18:48] erUSUL: debian would run fine. don't know about ubuntu [18:48] erUSUL, I agree, but when the "current" version is bugged, and the latest corrects the problem [18:48] it can sometimes be good [18:48] Martir: also you could use Puppy Linux or Damn Small Linux which are specifically designed for old hardware [18:49] Okay [18:49] I'm having problems with my sound. I'm using Gnome under Jaunty. The sound will only work if I set the sound preferences on HDA (OSS). The other options (autodetect, or the "plain" ALSA, OSS or pulseaudio options) do not work, only produce a static sound in the speakers. I followed instructions in: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130384 and the troubleshooting links in it, but nothing helps. I have a ICH9, if it [18:49] Martir, Ubuntu should run but it will be painfully slow [18:49] helps with anything. [18:49] Martir: Puppy Linux being better than DSL, and loads of verisons of Puppy out there [18:49] rom1v: do a bug report so vlc gets fixed [18:49] what command does alt + F2 run? [18:50] Does puppy linux have GNOME? [18:50] BCM43, it opens up a command prompt [18:50] Martir: yes [18:50] Martir: or I think so anyway [18:50] the one i have is more like xfce, but its stil really nice [18:50] BCM43, analogous to the WinXP "Run" command [18:51] BeatlesFan: but what command does it run to do that? [18:51] BCM43: you can enter any valid Linux line command [18:51] BCM43: It doesn't - it opens a builtin Gnome window. [18:51] Martir: puppy linux has JWM, a light window manager/ [18:51] Martir: there's a channel #puppylinux I think also you could ask about 128MB RAM and Linux in the general Linux channel ##linux [18:51] Thanks [18:51] Random question [18:52] : What does the command set do? [18:52] BCM43: oops.. sorry, it lets you run Applications.. not linux commands [18:52] Martir: ,but I know that the swap trick I mentioned a little while ago, should work well === info is now known as tenemel3- [18:53] Accidus, I'm giving up in here and trying a different channel.

[18:55] OzoneNerd: ahh, you're right.. not sure then [18:55] BeatlesFan: it is an internal bash command so he has to consult bash's man page [18:55] OzoneNerd: i think it prints the contents of all current defined env variables [18:56] erUSUL: he could do a set and pipe the output into a file [18:56] OzoneNerd: as i said to BeatlesFan consult bash's man page [18:56] puppy does some weird package management tho [18:56] not pipe.. direct [18:56] hi people, I need to make /etc/fuse.conf world-readable (for a software I distribute to work).

[20:47] mefisto__: so is that likely from a bad cd ? [20:47] devslash: buffer i/o error is more of a hardware error than an error on the cd I'd say [20:47] or cd drive error [20:47] devslash: you need to run memtest off the live cd: likely a bad ram module [20:47] dazjorz: hard drive error [20:48] ah, good one === Dalila_ is now known as Dalila [20:48] ? [20:48] devslash: no, hardware, as in cd drive hardware [20:48] jeffrey1790: Possible idea...

[20:48] djtech46, no static ip, ubuntu 8.10 [20:48] devslash: could be both. can you try the disk you burned on another machine?

[20:51] Anyone know which site glipper uses for pastebin? [20:51] Inalein: I didn't say I'd do it [20:51] ulli: you'll have to change window manager to something that has that functionality, fvwm has it [20:51] Inalein: nor will you probably find anybody else to do it for you, even paid [20:51] dragonlinux: not sure. I'm a kde user and don't know much about gnome [20:51] you mean gnome/ubuntu doesnt come with a gui for configuring samba ? [20:51] ah ok thx fryguy [20:51] dragonlinux: right [20:52] Hey, I just resized my NTFS windows XP partition with G-Parted under 8.04 ubuntu live and I have a strange problem.. It will get to the blue loading looking screen that says windows xp but gets stuck there.. i still have mouse movement and everything. I Resized and moved it. I looked it up and more than a couple people have had the same thing with no solution [20:52] ïðèâåò! ðóñ ÿç ëåíãâ ãîâîð åñòü? [20:52] dazjorzmaybe [20:52] Ok I have a couple of Virtual Servers I lease, I also have a machine at home that I run some sites on. I use Ubuntu and I installed EHCP which is a free Control panel for managing a domain, it will do DNS ,Email and mult-homed web sites, not as powerfull as Cpanel but it's free. [20:52] !ru [20:52] Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [20:52] ubuntu still loads rind [20:52] *fine [20:52] fccf: the machine boots off of a hard drive which has 5 partitions. when the game is started, and a usb is plugged in LINUX detects it. its set to noauto, and when its time to read and write data it mounts it. [20:52] has anyone here experienced that problem after resizing / moving their ntfs partition [20:52] FUbbyCD did you defrag twice before you resized. how much free space was on the drive that got resized [20:53] fryguy, because ion3 sucks at handling matlab [20:53] How can I disable when i have a mounted volume the icon apearing on the desktop? [20:53] no and like barely any [20:53] nperry: gconf-editor [20:53] free space on the windows xp partition before i resized it [20:53] nperry gconfig-seditor has a setting one sec [20:53] p-f: so use a window manager that actually meets your needs? [20:53] ?i know i should have dfraged im a moron .. I forgot [20:53] fryguy, except for the matlab annoyance, ion3 is the only one that isn't painful to use so far [20:54] To Remove Drive Icons from Desktop Use Terminal and type gconf-editor browse to /apps/nautilus/desktop and uncheck volumes_visable.. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/hide-removable-drive-icons-from-your-ubuntu-desktop/ [20:54] r Alright, I've got a kinda dumb question. Bare with me please. I downloaded a USB version of a certain OS (not linux), but I want to clone it to a hard drive by booting up with an Ubuntu live CD, taking the ISO off my thumb drive, and cloning it to the HD. Possible? TIA [20:54] fryguy, (sadly enough) [20:54] fryguy, i installed swat. but i dont see any icon in gnome for running that. how do i launch the gui ? [20:54] p-f: i find that hard to believe [20:54] MickJagger: maybe [20:54] dragonlinux: it's a website, read the documentation, i forget what port it runs on [20:54] MickJagger: is the iso actually an iso? (i.e. iso9660 format) [20:55] ty guys :) [20:55] fryguy, do you know of a tiling wm that can properly handle matlab, then? [20:55] fryguy, I tried awesome and xmonad [20:55] @dazjorz, I think so, one sec [20:55] p-f: Twm? [20:55] p-f: i'm sure awesome or xmonad can handle it. I know xmonad can, just add a managehook [20:55] jeffrey1790: I am still confused ... if read/write times are thet inportant to you - what size files are we talking about? [20:55] Jack_Sparrow: I did not defrag and the windows partition had very little free space before I moved / resized it [20:55] @dazjorz. Nope, right now it's a .dmg [20:55] MickJagger: if it's iso9660, copy over the files, then install a new bootloader on the hard drive partition etc [20:55] MickJagger: ah, that's harder... [20:56] Hmm [20:56] it was a newish installation though [20:56] MickJagger: I think you can mount it with -o loop in linux, then copy over the files in the same way [20:56] FUbbyCD Ouch, then I dont have any real solution [20:56] so it should not have been fragged up bad [20:56] p-f: the matlab problem is clearly defined (with a solution), in the xmonad documentation [20:56] !iso [20:56] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [20:56] dazjorz: Aren't DMG's just HFS+ images? [20:56] fccf -> when it reaches the song selection screen, it has to load the players songs for both players from their usb without timeing out. === zenxr_ is now known as zenxr [20:56] MickJagger: then install some kind of bootloader :) [20:56] l [20:56] Jack_Sparrow: [20:56] qw [20:56] fryguy, really? I must be blind then [20:56] nathan7: I think so, yes [20:56] Hmm [20:56] Jack_Sparrow: what happend then? [20:56] @dazjorz I don't hhave the slightest clue how to install a bootloader [20:56] * nathan7 fetches some random mac software [20:56] it already has a darwin one on there from the previous OS X I installed...will that work? [20:56] MickJagger: What are you trying to accomplish:? [20:56] is there nothing that can be done to fix it? [20:56] fryguy, if you mean the wmname hack, I've already tried that [20:56] p-f: also here is the first google reasult for "xmonad matlab", seems pretty helpful: http://undefined.org.ua/blog/2008/03/28/xmonad-matlab/?lang=en [20:56] (it's a dell inspiron, btw) [20:56] How do I install a second monitor with my laptop? I cannot seem to get it to work with Ubuntu [20:56] cant install truecrypt paket, i followed the installationque from the truescriptwebsite, do i need some essential pakets ? [20:57] MickJagger: I think you may get away by using 'fdisk' (be very careful) to set the partition type of that partition to HFS [20:57] MickJagger: then running: (be very careful again to choose the right values!) - dd if=thefile.dmg of=/dev/sda2 [20:57] where sda2 is the partition you want to install to [20:57] could it have changed my drive names? [20:57] i seen someone say gparted did that and had the same problem as me [20:57] nathan 7, I want to install this "portable" version of mac OS on my inspiron...but I want to clone it to my HD, not thumb drive [20:57] FUbbyCD Mount that drive in a different windows box and go at it with windows tools for ntfs [20:58] MickJagger: Hmm. [20:58] fryguy, ah, didn't see that one [20:58] fryguy, thanks, I'll have a closer look [20:58] its a laptop hd how would i do that? [20:58] virtual box? [20:58] eh probably not huh? [20:58] steven_, did you check to make sure the second monitor was enabled in the display dialog? Older versions of ubuntu don't have the option and didn't default to unenabled. [20:58] FUbbyCD the instructions are generally quite clear.. defrag twice [20:59] jeffrey1790: and some could be 80gigs worth of ipod ... couldn't it just make a quick local copy to /tmp and unmount- or does this have some kind of music sharing app as well [20:59] oh so if i defrag it from a windows box it may be fine [20:59] I have Ubuntu 9.04 or whatever [20:59] or are you saying I should have defragged [20:59] It has unknown monitor [21:00] MickJagger: Hmm, I guess you should dd it into a partition [21:00] i reckon i could use something like bart pe [21:00] steven_, is there an add monitor option? [21:00] FUbbyCD you should have defragged first and defragged twice.. then made sure you had 10% or so free so the partitioner had room to work [21:00] No [21:00] fccf -> doesnt work with ipods, since the games code is designed to work with the ub kernel driver. i can set a limit fo how many songs can be loaded. it can load about 70 for each player without timing out. [21:00] stevecam, or detect monitor? [21:00] I went under display under system on the menu [21:00] hi guys. i first set up my camera at school where the lights are flourescent and it's pretty bright. now that i'm at home and there's incandescent lights, and not as much of it, it's totally dark and stupid. how do i reconfigure the camera? [21:00] heres the thing though [21:01] i did it from ubuntu, which had more than 12 gigs free that i was giving to the windows partition [21:01] steven_, I would google the monitor and ubuntu. and try the detect button or similar [21:01] I get this message after clicking on this: "It appears that your graphics driver does not support the necessary extensions to use this tool. Do you want to use your graphics driver vendor's tool instead?" [21:01] Does anyone know of a script of program that can hide KDE apps from my Gnome setup and vise-versa when I install them together and pick which session to boot into? [21:01] jeffrey1790: overkill... is this really going to keep 2 people entertained for 6+ hours [21:01] *or [21:01] well i mean i did it from a live ubuntu [21:01] dittykong: there's no real way to detect what is a "kde application" and what is a "gnome application" [21:02] so do you think defragging will accomplish anything now?

I want to use the entire disk [21:02] FUbbyCD You need wo go at it with windows tools. defragging will do nothing now [21:02] I click on Detect Monitors and it still says unknown [21:02] MickJagger: Yes, but then it's useless [21:03] @flannel o hey thanks i didnt know there was a tutorial [21:03] steven_, you may need to pick a different driver [21:03] MickJagger: The first 512 bytes can't be used [21:03] * jdu must go; bye [21:03] I have no idea how to do that [21:03] nathan7, I'm so confused O_O [21:03] MickJagger: If you really care about those, change the kernel and write your own bios [21:03] MickJagger: A partition is a part of the disk [21:03] fccf -> yeah... it does... since you can get past the song time restriction by patching your ogg audio with an invalid length. [21:03] MickJagger: You make one maximum sized [21:04] so.... if your song was 40 mins long, patch it so the game thinks its 1:45 [21:04] :) [21:04] how can I setup another partition on fstab and let users write on it?

[21:08] !doesnotwork [21:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about doesnotwork [21:08] dakarn: mefisto__ when i boot up the cd now i get hal module errors. what does that indicate? ram error, cd error or hard disk error ? [21:08] !doesntwork [21:08] Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [21:09] hello, I complied a binary on one system and copied it to another, when I ./ it says there is no such file or dir, but it is there when I ls [21:09] like if I am able to restore it to the previous way will i likely run into problems. [21:09] i reckon its similar to recovering deleted files [21:09] hmmm [21:09] but i dont understand how all that works [21:09] s0 did u do chmod +x filename [21:09] jeffrey1790: I would have it load the songs at the start of the game .. check for actual audio length.. unmount before starting game... avoiding accidental loss of data [21:09] devslash, yes [21:10] Could someone please give some info on fan speed control on ubuntu? [21:10] hey anybody can help me to setup home server accessible from outside network [21:10] s0 what os did u copy it from and what os did u copy it to [21:10] s0|: +x'd it? [21:10] devslash: you have a specific error? [21:10] I hate that laptops cpu fan is on full speed all the time [21:10] @s0 did it have a read me file or install instructions? [21:10] dakarn: i couldnt tell cause it zoomed by too fast [21:10] In order to run VNC (like vino, remote desktop) do I need to have a video card installed? I booted up w/o vid card and I can ssh into the box but cannot vnc in and it seems like x11 applications aren't running [21:10] How i can back to my last kernel in "initramfs-tools" ? Jack_Sparrow ? [21:11] devslash: run the memtest [21:11] What can I do to satisfy OpenOffice that it doesn't need to recover a file that has been deleted? [21:11] @nathan 7 yes, that command makes a script executable [21:11] Mohammad[B] Sorry, I cant untangle that. [21:11] ok [21:11] brb 10 min [21:11] Is it possible to have your open apps, when you launch a connecting via XDMCP to stay open when you disconnect? Like just locking the session? [21:11] my fstab options is users,rw,auto and I always get permission denied when I'm trying to write on it [21:12] complied on a 8.04 LTS server install to a 8.04 LTS desktop [21:12] fccf -> the game is meant for fat32 and fat drives and works pretty well. just slow. actually now with the songs a timer starts in the background when it starts and kills off the song when its supposed to. [21:12] dittykong, not really I wrote it [21:14] is there a way to add package dependencies to existing .deb files? [21:14] hi [21:14] I assume that once a binary is complied it should run on similar systems [21:14] !packaging [21:14] The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports [21:14] nathan7: I can't seem to get kdesudo to work. It wont accept my root pass [21:15] jhambo: It's _SUDO_ [21:15] jhambo kdesu [21:15] s0|: in general. yes, unless you've messed something up. Wanna paste the output of 'ls -l' for us to see... [21:15] dakarn: i ran the mem test and holy crap. one of my 512mb ram modules is messed up big time [21:15] !gksudo [21:15] 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) [21:15] jhambo: Try kdesu if you want to use root pass [21:15] ubuntu-9.04 server + HPT370 = love ? [21:15] just sudo [21:15] -rwxrwxrwx 1 mark mark 7092 2009-06-07 14:06 helo [21:15] dakarn Is he running a gui app os cli? [21:15] ieem: what is the advantage to running server? [21:15] is there a universal way to find out the version of a program? or does it depend on the program? [21:15] or [21:15] devslash: that is the reason for the io error. remove that faulty ram module [21:16] joanki123: depends on the program [21:16] joanki123: you can always search for it in synaptic as well [21:16] dakarn: i have [21:16] thanks fryguy [21:16] In order to run VNC (like vino, remote desktop) do I need to have a video card installed? I booted up w/o vid card and I can ssh into the box but cannot vnc in and it seems like x11 applications aren't running [21:16] s0|: and what exactly happens when you do ./helo [21:16] aanonymouss: you'll need to run XvFB or something [21:16] devslash: is your install working or still HAL errors? [21:16] -bash: ./helo: No such file or directory [21:17] aanonymouss: or forward through a different X server via X11 forwarding or xdmcp [21:17] I have an issue, I don't know how to get a second hard drive's permissions off of root... [21:17] dakarn: checking [21:17] s0|: please do ldd ./helo and paste [21:17] fryguy, thanks I'll look into that [21:17] jeffrey1790: are you packaging this this thing with a bill-acceptor/coin-mech/cc-auth? [21:17] devslash: for whatever reason rc.hald might not have started due to the faulty ram; that would explain the error [21:17] mxboy15u: hpt370 = raid "mirror" [21:17] ryan54952: use chown username [21:17] fryguy, any idea why x11 apps aren't running? [21:17] dakarn: oh i see ok... well ive removed it now [21:18] not a dynamic executable (I guess this means I complied worong somehow) [21:18] aanonymouss: you can't run X apps without an X server, and you can't run the X server that is configured out of the box in ubuntu without a video display [21:18] im booting up my o.s. that i had on my disk to see if it fixes the problem [21:18] ryan54952 http://paste.ubuntu.com/190463/ [21:18] devslash: technically... you could put that module back in once you install ubuntu, but i don't recommend it ;) [21:19] what is 86/84,443 i need to know the remainder. it's a long division problem im so frusterated [21:19] Kraft: ask google, it does math for you [21:19] dakarn: hell no... with all the problems it gave me its not worth it [21:19] fccf -> coin mech -> heres some photos of stuff : http://jeffrey1790.com/machine/ and http://reenigne.ath.cx/nws/ [21:19] it doesn't do the remainder.. [21:19] Kraft: sure it does [21:19] I'm trying to pin packages from apt-build and it doesn't seem to be taking. [21:19] losher, damn thing works fine elsewhere [21:19] how [21:19] Kraft: hint: % is the modulus operator [21:20] How do I keep Ubuntu 9.04 from adjusting my laptop screen brightness? I only want the screen brightness to change when I adjust it manually. [21:20] fryguy, would it change anything if I originally setup the box with x11 running and had everything running, then ripped out my gfx card and now am trying to run everything? [21:20] what does that mean.. [21:20] aanonymouss: no [21:20] erpo::: what do you mean? [21:20] erpo::: like when you plug in/unplug from AC power? [21:20] Kraft: http://www.google.com/search?q=86%2F84.443&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a [21:20] billybigrigger: It happens then, and also when I stop typing for a few moments. [21:21] s0|: well, statically linked executables should be runnable. Presumably something different about the environment on your desktop machine. Dunno what that might be though. What is the program supposed to do? === saulus_ is now known as SauLus [21:21] fryguy, so if there's no video card, x server wont start? [21:21] erpo::: System>Preferences>Power Management [21:21] dakarn: this isnt an ubuntu question but with the faulty ram module if i was running osx on my desktop and i created a desktop folder and rebooted and it wasnt there any more could that be because of the bad ram module ? [21:21] jeffrey1790: wow - it's a dancer [21:21] losher, it's supposed to run N-threads, where N = number of cores [21:21] aanonymouss: the one out of the box in ubuntu won't, which is why you should look into XvFB or another X server, or just run the X server on another machine [21:21] it says hello from each, and thats it [21:22] devslash: no that would be writing to your hd [21:22] Dude, I need the answer. I also need to enter in the Remainder. This is for an online college math course. [21:22] jeffrey1790: next question? is it stable? [21:22] dakarn: ok [21:22] devslash: no [21:22] kraft: do long division by hand [21:22] i don't know how [21:22] Kraft: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=com.ubuntu%3Aen-US%3Aunofficial&hs=OY4&q=86%2584.443&btnG=Search&aq=f&oq=&aqi= [21:23] it wont accept that answer im afraid [21:23] dakarn: im gonna try to reinstall ubuntu now and see if i get that error [21:23] Kraft: i just gave you the full division and the remainder in 2 separate google queries. what exactly is the problem [21:23] s0|: all I can suggest at this point is to relink it dynamically on the server & see if that makes a difference. I wonder if it depends on kernel threads or something? [21:23] Kraft: This is wildely offtopic for this channel. I suggest you find a more appropriate channel to ask. [21:23] nathan7: okay so I run kbluetooth with kdesu. But when I do that, nothing happens when I click the "input devices" menu item [21:23] jhambo: Strange... [21:23] billybigrigger: Thanks! :) [21:23] jhambo: Killed the old one? [21:23] devslash: i wish you luck [21:23] thanks [21:23] nathan7: yup [21:23] erpo::: np [21:23] losher, I don't know what you mean by relink it dynamiically [21:24] irc://irc.abjects.net/evil [21:24] The answer is [981] R [ ] i cant put 1.5 in the remainder. it needs to be a whole number. so the remainder is wrong. and it wont let me continue [21:24] jhambo: Sorry, can't help you now [21:24] Kraft: r=77 http://www62.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=84443%2F86 [21:24] thanks? [21:24] server irc://irc.abjects.net/evil [21:24] if i select use entire disk in the ubuntu cd partitioner how much swap does it assign ? [21:25] nathan7: thanks for the try [21:25] s0|: it's a compiler option. Look for the keyword 'static' when the build happens [21:25] thanks !!!!!! [21:25] server http://www.packetnews.com/index.php?channel_id=7892 [21:25] niuh: Please stop that [21:25] niuh Please stop [21:25] you guys are pretty smart [21:25] losher, do I need to add static? [21:25] devslash: I think it will assing swap as large as total RAM [21:25] ...but I'm not sure [21:26] kraft: thats wolframalpha.com ... the 3 week old computational search engine [21:26] this is all I did to make the binary: gcc -fopenmp helo.c -o helo [21:26] It used to be conventional wisdom gives you twice RAM for swap, but that doesn't apply anymore I don't think. [21:26] dude dont kick me [21:26] i didnt do anything [21:26] Kraft Stay on topic ty [21:26] Kraft: Please remain on topic. This channel is about Ubuntu technical support. [21:27] how do I get conky to show the download and upload on my network [21:27] a girl in a linux chat said she could sleep with an attractive man and not think about sex at all and i said "you mean you wouldn't wanna mount?" and she said unmount/remove/dev [21:27] true story [21:27] zaccour: wow [21:28] =) [21:28] =] [21:28] =] [21:28] =] [21:28] Kraft: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:28] Jack_Sparrow: thanks that link helped and I was able to get it to work [21:28] ryan54952 You are welcome, those are just my notes [21:29] anyone know of an alternative ati driver I can use to help speed up my internet browsing when a lot of grpahics need to be loaded? [21:29] I have ati xpress 200m [21:29] s0|: sorry, at this point I'm out of my depth. Maybe you need compiler help next? [21:29] who teh fsck is Jack_Sparrow? [21:29] i'm back [21:29] pk23: displaying 2d dimensional graphics won't be affected by your video card at all unless you are using compiz [21:29] kraut My mistake. [21:29] losher, probably - thanks [21:30] Jack_Sparrow: ah, ok. no problem [21:30] i hate compiz [21:30] fryguy: well even with the 2d animations and stuff like flash - my computer can't even play them smoothly [21:30] zaccour: congratulations [21:30] Jack_Sparrow: looked like a takeover ;) [21:30] pk23: flash = nothing we can do about that. [21:30] fryguy, for what? [21:30] Q's about upgrading to Jaunty Kubuntu from Ubuntu 8.10 [21:30] fryguy: , well is there something else that could be causing the problem? [21:30] pk23: try an opensource alternative to flash [21:30] pk23: no [21:31] zaccour: having an opinion about a piece of software [21:31] well it's not just flash, even loading up graphics on websites and stuff makes the browsing slow [21:31] zaccour: if I catch you with jokes like that in the future, you're gone faster than a lightning bolt from sky [21:31] pk23: so then get a faster internet connection? [21:31] Myrtti, whats your problem? [21:31] ok, thanks [21:31] pk23: I've never used ATI graphics, but I hear it's problematic. For trouble-free graphics, I recommend an Intel graphics chip first and a nVidia graphics chip second. [21:31] devslash: mine installed 3 gigs on a 70gig hd [21:31] zaccour It is called offtopic [21:32] netvisao.ptnet.org [21:32] dakarn: 3GB of swap ? [21:32] zaccour: the fact that joke was offtopic for this channel and also very rude for any Ubuntu channels [21:32] erpo: , thanks for the heads up. I'll dig around the forums to see what I can find [21:32] dakarn: how much ram do you have ? === scott_ is now known as Guest85684 [21:32] so much for open freedom lol [21:33] zaccour Please see the topic of this channel [21:33] zaccour: IRC is not a democracy :-) did you have Ubuntu support related questions or problems? [21:33] zaccour: that also means freedom from sexual harrassment - while getting support [21:33] devslash: 1g ram [21:33] dakarn: so it allocated 3GB of swap ? [21:33] fccf: or giving support ;-) [21:34] myrtti: good point [21:34] how could I have disabled the SSL protocol?

I have a server whose output used to go into a CRT TV (via composite video), but I need to wipe the disk clean and reinstall. I plugged in a monitor but when I go to boot the screen hangs at a white blinking underscore cursor; I don't even get a bios splash screen [21:37] windows_7 to install windows office 9x you need to install win or /join #winehq or install vbox then XP then install office in that [21:37] Skeptic no [21:38] I tried booting without a monitor to see if I could get in via SSH but I don't think it's booting [21:38] it's not showing up on the network (I just moved into a new apartment) [21:38] hi, how do i set up apache so that it recognizes a site like this: http://174.129.249.196/~david/ [21:38] windows_7: are you playing guess games with us?

[21:43] bjjblue: if you don't get good answers here, maybe the channel #hardware is better [21:44] guntbert: will do.

[21:48] bjjblue, does the bios appear? [21:48] :) [21:49] SKeptic: no bios. just a blinking _ cursor [21:49] are there any popular projects besides mythbuntu that provide an operating system that boots straight into a "10 foot interface" that is suitable for controlling with input devices other than keyboard and mouse (such as a remote control or a gaming controller) [21:49] bjjblue, any beeps?

[21:52] bjjblue: does it normally beep when starting up? there may not be a pc speaker connected [21:52] ah, ok [21:52] What confuses me is that I do get an output... it's just a blinking cursor [21:52] bjjblue: reset cmos [21:52] mefisto__: I don't believe that it does. Hard to say really, I had an uptime of several months [21:52] bjjblue:Is it under warranty? [21:52] bjjblue: Does it even show the bios? [21:52] bjblue : i think it might be up ... do Ctrl-Alt-f3 [21:53] radicaljoe: no warranty [21:53] bjjblue: probably ram is a little loose [21:53] nathan7: no [21:53] bjjblue: Then check all the components. [21:53] bjjblue: I seriously suggest to ask in #hardware because here it is *a bit* off topic :-) [21:53] mefisto__ I checked the ram [21:53] (fryguy): http://linuxmce.com/ [21:53] I already checked all components [21:53] bjjblue:Should have brought that extended service contract. [21:53] bjjblue: then type your username ... passowrd [21:54] guntbert: not to be annoying, but I *really* don't believe it's hardware related ... [21:54] fccf: Ctrl-Alt-f3? [21:54] or f2? [21:54] bjjblue: it doesn't matter [21:54] use f3 [21:54] bjjblue: and neither is going to do anything if you haven't gotten past bios yet [21:54] clean term [21:54] bjjblue, i think the pc works but you just can't see it [21:54] the ubuntu installer crashed on me for no reason [21:55] devslash: so then go to launchpad and file a bug [21:55] Skeptic: yeah. but it's not showing up on the network. I tried to ssh in. [21:55] bjjblue: Silly question, but you didn't accedentily switch keyboard-connector to the mous-connector on pc and visa versa ? [21:55] fccf: i'm going to close it up and try ctrl-alt-f3 [21:55] Hello, im new to linux/ubuntu, Ive had it 10 min and wanted nvidia on it. Does anyone know what a stable nvidia version would be. I read bug reports with nvidia-glx-180-dev [21:55] fuck it im installing windows on this computer [21:55] unpredictable: use the one it tells you to use [21:55] CyberGabber: how would I have done that? I'm not sure what you mean [21:55] i just cant get ubuntu to install on it [21:55] There is not much you can swap out on a net book. [21:55] !ohmy |devshash [21:55] devshash: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [21:55] devslash: there is always a reason :-), did you check the iso before burning it? [21:56] guntbert: yes [21:56] fryguy: I shows several in synaptics [21:56] CyberGabber: I have a usb mouse/keyboard... i dunno if that mattres [21:56] and i burned it at the slowest speed [21:56] bjjblue: Do you have PS/2 connector on mousecable and keyboardcable? [21:56] fryguy: it [21:56] unpredictable: not synaptic, the restricted driver manager [21:56] CyberGabber: USB all the way [21:56] fryguy: what is that and why not use synaptic? [21:56] devslash: is it a new computer? [21:56] devslash: have you tried alternate install? [21:56] JabberWalkie: no but not that old [21:56] unpredictable: because the restricted drivers manager is going to install the right driver, as opposed to you having to guess [21:57] ohir: i am gonna now [21:57] fryguy: K thx, care to guide me into the right direction for restricted? [21:57] devslash: yeah, try a different version, if that dosn't work I would try checking for hardware problems [21:57] unpredictable: it should have come up when you first installed (or be in your statusbar now), if not then there is no driver available out of the box that is supported with your card that is "better" than what you are using now, so you are on your own in terms of finding a driver if you actually even need one [21:57] JabberWalkie: do i need a different iso for alternative install [21:58] Well ctrl-alt-f3 doesn't work either [21:58] devslash: yes [21:58] devslash: such 'crashed' often stems from poorly supported graphics (one that need proprietary/not free drivers) [21:58] fryguy: i know nvidia isn't installed.. I never installed it, i did do updates but im not sure if nvidia was installed [21:58] ohir not likely i had ubuntu 7 on it before [21:58] fccf: ctrl alt f3 doesn't do anything [21:58] bjblue: you arn't going to see anything change with ctrl-alt-f3 - we are going to have you log in blind [21:58] and it worked perfectly with compiz [21:58] how do i check what's running under a single core? the second core of my quad core is always 100% for some reason [21:58] fryguy: how can I tell go to conconsole and type nvidia? [21:58] unpredictable: is there an item in your statusbar about restricted drivers? and why do you think you need the nvidia driver [21:59] devslash: workaround is to use either straight install (not from live cd) then alternate [21:59] ohir what is straight install [21:59] I should also mention that i'm able to eject the CD tray ... dunno if that's indicative of anything. Maybe I should just try to pulg it into the tv? [21:59] hey folks [21:59] ohir: the more likely. Xorg has purged many older hw to keep package tight [21:59] anyone know how to change the advertised name from the VNC server? [21:59] fryguy: not sure what the statusbar is, but nvidia ive always used for games.. im sure ubuntu doesn't install any drivers supported for games [21:59] devslash: the more likely. Xorg has purged many older hw to keep package tight [21:59] bjjblue... plug in the tv and see what happens [22:00] okay. i'll be back in a few minutes with results [22:00] unpredictable: run glxinfo | grep -i direct in a terminal [22:00] ohir so my video might not be supported any more [22:00] ? [22:00] also, is #hardware ubuntu-specific? [22:00] bjjblue: your problem has nothing to do with ubuntu [22:01] fryguy: natta [22:01] devslash: devslash might be supported after fiddling (start gnome in vesa compatible mode then install proper non free modules) [22:01] fryguy: right. i know that. I'm just wondering if #hardware is an ubuntu-related channel in any way [22:01] fryguy: please stop ... you could be wrong .. I have seen this before [22:01] unpredictable: then you didn't type it right [22:01] fryguy: wait it said yes [22:01] anyway. brb with results from the TV [22:02] fccf: i'm not wrong, have you been following the conversation since the beginning? He doesn't POST, therefore no hard drive is being read, therefore no bootloader is being loaded, therefore no operating system is loaded, therefore this isn't an ubuntu problem [22:02] devslash: you could probably do a console based installation [22:02] unpredictable: then you are all set already [22:02] fryguy: how can I c what version nvidia I have installed [22:02] should be able to use the same iso for that [22:02] unpredictable: /var/log/Xorg.0.log [22:02] unpredictable: should give you what you need [22:02] hello ppl...i having trouble doing something really simple...i am trying to run a ventrilo server executable on ubuntu server and it keeps telling me that there file doesn't exist :S...i have used ./appname; appname; exec appname; exec ./appname, nothing works..? [22:03] unpredictable: also glxinfo might tell you, or xdpyinfo [22:03] then when everything is installed it should be easier to diagnose and fix the problem [22:03] fryguy: It won't post if it is set to post to the tv ... all you will get is a blinking curser [22:03] robin87: chmod +x the file? [22:03] fryguy: i did chmod 755 but with try +x [22:03] fccf: that is not true of any graphics subsystem made in the past 7 or so years [22:03] fccf: hmm same problem on the tv [22:04] bjjblue: did you drop your computer? [22:04] fccf: no. I was really careful with it [22:04] it rode with me in the front seat of the car with a seatbelt [22:04] Was it hot in the car? [22:05] fryguy: nope same crap, i dont get a confirmation on the chmod change though [22:05] robin87: chmod -v [22:05] robin87: ls -l . [22:05] radicaljoe: somewhat maybe. I don't think it was particularly hot though. maybe upper 70's [22:05] after running a java applet to play midi sounds other apps don't have sound. how can I get the sound back? [22:05] blz [22:05] bjjblue: no POST screen either [22:05] fccf: what's a post screen? [22:05] bjjblue: bios [22:05] nope [22:06] just a blinking cursor [22:06] fryguy nablaa: yep it has the flags :S what am i doing wrong [22:06] a "_" cursor [22:06] bjjblue: have you bothered reseting cmos yet like was suggested about 20 mins ago? [22:06] fryguy: I have not. I'll try that now. [22:06] robin87: pastebin [22:06] bjjblue:you can try to reset the bios. Pull the battery out for a few but you will lose your settings. [22:06] fryguy: the last 2 shows specs the .log one said no command found.. [22:06] fryguy nablaa: the tutorial says i just need to navigate to dir and do ./ventrilo_srv [22:06] unpredictable: it's not a command, it's a file [22:07] okay. it's the big oversized watch battery, right? [22:07] robin87: spectacular, no ls -l . and pastebin [22:07] now* [22:07] bjjblue: yep [22:07] bjjblue:The cpu is probably surface mounted? [22:07] bjjblue: or just use the jumpers next to the battery [22:08] fryguy: in editor it stats X.Org X Server 1.6.0 [22:08] unpredictable: yah, scroll down [22:08] fryguy: haha...i cant use pastebin because it is ubuntu-server running in vmware, no gui [22:08] robin87: there is pastebin cli apps [22:09] !info pastebinit === saulus_ is now known as SauLus [22:09] pastebinit (source: pastebinit): command-line pastebin client. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.11.2-0ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 21 kB, installed size 344 kB [22:09] radicaljoe: what does that mean? cpu being surface mounted? [22:10] fryguy: what do the jumpers look like? [22:10] bjjblue: ... consult the manual. as a reminder, this is WAY offtopic for this channel [22:10] bjjblue:I fixed a PC that wouldn't post by re-seating the cpu. [22:10] fryguy: what line am i looking for theres sooo much... i never seen nvidia nothing but the card I have in the system [22:10] unpredictable: no idea, you'll have to scroll through [22:10] Hi all ! [22:10] radicaljoe:... i'll check that if all else fails [22:10] unpredictable: why do you care anyway? [22:10] bjjblue:Soldered in. [22:11] vlc outputs "[0x2dd6628] alsa audio output error: cannot write: Broken pipe". how can I get the sound back? [22:11] c_korn: Interesting. [22:11] c_korn: restart alsa and restart pulseaudio [22:11] c_korn: On GNOME? === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [22:11] solid_liq: =0 [22:11] fryguy: so I know I have the newest stable nvidia drivers [22:11] unpredictable: you don't [22:11] unpredictable: deal with it [22:11] nathan7: yes, on GNOME [22:12] bjjblue: see my pm [22:12] fryguy: ur a little tempermented huh? [22:12] how do i make a program run permenatly as a daemon? [22:12] unpredictable: ? [22:12] hey how do i set the default browser on Kubuntu? [22:12] to firefox [22:12] fryguy: if u didn't feel like helping , you didn't have to bother.. [22:12] fryguy: i install pastebinit with apt-get, when i try and run it appears to hang [22:12] gartral: depends on the program, probably just write an init.d script for it [22:13] unpredictable: i'm confused, how am I not helping you [22:13] Hello i'm trying to run a .pl and i get Can't locate Net/IRC.pm as a error i was wondering how i could resolve this [22:13] robin87: it reads from stdin, read the manpage [22:13] Wikkedfin: install that part of CPAN [22:13] fryguy: can you run things as root that way? [22:13] gartral: if you want [22:13] fryguy: you was, but then when I stated I needed to know which version because I wanted the newest/stable ones you told me to deal with it.. [22:13] fryguy, nathan7: still the same problem also after restarting alsa and pulseaudio: http://pastebin.com/d3c9d7042 [22:13] how do I enable PAE support? I have 4GB of ram but linux only sees 2837252k total [22:13] gartral: running a daemon as root is almost universally a bad idea though [22:13] sudo apt-get install CPAN? [22:14] Wikkedfin: no [22:14] fryguy: im new to this and I know nothing.. Just trying to get it up to par ya know? [22:14] unpredictable: you don't have the newest drivers [22:14] this is ubuntu server 8.04.2 [22:14] Wikkedfin: Type cpan [22:14] fryguy: ok, i need to run noip2 as root because it won't read the script any other way (even though my perms are 770 for the settings script) [22:14] hi .. I am trying to set gvim as the default text editor. I used update-alternatives --config gnome-text-editor [22:14] fryguy: what about going to nvidia site and picking them would that be ok? since I know nothing about restricted ect ect [22:14] Wikkedfin: It'll give you the package [22:15] hi all, i've been having an issue since installing jaunty. trying to setup a samba share with complete guest access using the share tool in nautilus, but no matter what the permissions are i cannot open the share in windows (get a permission denied error) and in ubuntu i get unable to mount location. am i missing something? thanks [22:15] And then selected vim.gnome [22:15] gartral: chmod +x. [22:15] gartral: 770 means "no permissions for anybody outside of user/group" [22:15] still gedit is opening the text files [22:15] * losher is left wondering what happened to poor old bjjblue's PC... [22:15] unpredictable: if you do that you will almost certainly break things, and will even more almost certainly break things next time it comes time to update things like kernel [22:15] nathan7: why do I need execute for a config script? [22:15] There is a + and * next to gedit and vim.gnome in the update-alternatives list [22:15] Is there a way to reconfigure/reinstall postfix so I can see the config selection for the mail server type? [22:16] losher: just put the cmos battery back in. fingers are crossed =) [22:16] unpredictable: and there is no real reason to have the newest drivers. If you _DO_ actually have a need for them, go ahead and spend the couple of hours it'll take to get them installed correctly, there is some documentation about it on the wiki, and you can also look into envy. realistically though, if it works, just leave it alone [22:17] fryguy: i have no idea how this pastebinit app works, can u link me to the page, i cant find it [22:17] let me get infront of that box, brb [22:17] robin87: just pipe data from stdout to it [22:17] fryguy: what is stdout? [22:17] robin87: also, like i said, read it's manpage [22:18] robin87: stdout is file descriptor 1 on a unix based system, and corresponds to the output of the tty you are currently connected to [22:18] fryguy: what is a manpage :O [22:18] robin87: man [22:18] fryguy: the newest nvidia drivers along with newest alsa supports hdmi.. for sound. Im using my 50 in tv as monitor as we speak.. sound is dead. I know nvidia is for graphics but it ties into also mixer drivers for hdmi.. [22:18] how do i change the boot screen in Ubuntu? I have Kubuntu installed, i wanna use it, but I still want the on/off bootscreens to say ubuntu [22:18] robin87: maybe you should consider reading up on some basics of the unix command line interface? [22:18] myself: Usplash-theme-kubuntu I believe [22:19] Hi folks I seemed to change a setting in Ubuntu 8.04 and now I've lost my workspaces so it now handle windows like XP any help on how to get back to the default setting? [22:19] wth is CPAN [22:19] help with open vpn [22:19] unpredictable: maybe ubuntu isn't the best choice for you then, because you are going to go through a lot of hassle to get those installed and keep them maintained properly [22:19] fryguy: http://www.goingson.be/2008/12/ubuntu-and-hdmi-audio-output.html step one talks about nvidia [22:19] fryguy: i should yeah [22:19] Sun Jun 7 22:18:02 2009 IMPORTANT: OpenVPN's default port number is now 1194, based on an official port number assignment by IANA. OpenVPN 2.0-beta16 and earlier used 5000 as the default port.

[22:19] nathan7 is that a command? or what [22:19] Does anyone know of any type of upnp browser so I can see what ports are currently forwarded on my router, and add/remove them manually? [22:19] or uninstall? [22:19] fryguy: it would seem Root owns that config script [22:20] Hello! [22:20] hi! [22:20] I got a little bit of a problem, My wired internet dont really get working when i switch from Windows [22:20] What could that be? [22:20] does "export PATH=`pwd`/bin:${PATH}" export it globally and for future sessions? [22:21] Is there something i need to restart or something? [22:21] !work | norpan111 [22:21] norpan111: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [22:21] hmmmm [22:21] does "export PATH=`pwd`/bin:${PATH}" export it globally and for future sessions? [22:21] boscop: no [22:21] Well [22:21] file 'client1.key' is group or others accessible [22:21] fryguy: It just does not work? i cant get out on the internet? [22:22] fryguy: wired connection [22:22] Any help getting my workspaces back please? [22:22] Wikkedfin: still need help with perl Net/IRC ? [22:22] fryguy: did u have time to check that link? [22:22] hi de hi [22:22] norpan111: when? ever? when you first boot? after you run a certain program? when coming back from hibernate? [22:22] unpredictable: what link [22:22] fryguy: http://www.goingson.be/2008/12/ubuntu-and-hdmi-audio-output.html step one talks about nvidia [22:22] unpredictable: so then follow that link [22:23] fryguy: u said not to go to the nvidia site :( [22:23] fryguy: i got it [22:23] fryguy: Well i dualboot with windows so when i restart into ubuntu, the wired just cant find an IP adress i think [22:23] unpredictable: i said don't go if you don't want to cause yourself hours of work [22:23] Hey guys [22:23] fryguy: last session it worked just fine [22:23] Seem pretty unstable [22:23] latre by... [22:23] norpan111: so, your wired connection doesn't work in ubuntu if you've previous booted windows and you reboot to ubuntu? [22:24] Question: I have a 1GB flash drive, I know how to install Ubuntu to it, but which *buntu is able to fit onto it? [22:24] xteejx: probably none, consider a different operating system [22:24] fryguy, any suggestions? [22:24] PeteOYore, Do you see one workspace on the bottom right of your desktop? [22:24] fryguy: exactly . altough i tried to just restart now unto ubuntu again and still nothing [22:24] xteejx: freebsd [22:25] phenom> not one sadly [22:25] PeteOYore, If so, right click it, go to preferences, and select how many you want. [22:25] Ahh. [22:25] fryguy, Ok, I'll have a look thanks :) [22:25] norpan111: what happens if you sudo dhclient eth0 from a commandline [22:25] phenom looks like Windows now [22:25] Try Damn Small Linux [22:25] file 'client1.key' is group or others accessible [22:25] help [22:25] norpan111: help with what [22:26] fryguy: whats suppose to happen?:P [22:26] PeteOYore, Do you still have the toolbar at the bottom? [22:26] norpan111: it should do some stuff [22:26] fryguy: well it does [22:26] fryguy: what do I have to do to make it global? [22:26] phenom well yes a white bar there [22:26] boscop: add it to the rc file for whatever shell you are using [22:26] boscop: probably bash if you haven't changed it [22:26] PeteOYore, If so,, right click it > Add to panel > Workspace switcher [22:27] It should add it back [22:27] how does update-alternatives program work? I have read the manual and followed instructions .. but, it does not seem to have any effect in changing the default text editor [22:27] fryguy: no DHCPOFFERS recieved, No working leases in persistent database - sleeping. [22:27] W00t [22:27] phenom tried that it is NOT there oddly? [22:27] norpan111: do you have a strange network topology? [22:27] fryguy: i dont know what topology is, but i dont have anything strange :P [22:28] phenom I did see a replacement for it to download [22:28] norpan111: so this pc is connected directly to a router? [22:28] hi all, i've been having an issue since installing jaunty. trying to setup a samba share with complete guest access using the share tool in nautilus, but no matter what the permissions are i cannot open the share in windows (get a permission denied error) and in ubuntu i get unable to mount location. am i missing something? thanks [22:28] fryguy: not even that, just right into the wall [22:28] norpan111: what happens if you give it a static IP instead of dhcp [22:28] norpan111: OH [22:28] ops [22:28] PeteOYore, Yea, odd. I'dd have to look in to it further. I'm unaware of why it would have disappeared. Did you fool around with gconf-editor at all? [22:28] yah your isp probably has some weird setup where it's limiting IPs it hands out [22:29] i need this kind of IP to be able to login at my internet provider [22:29] norpan111: easiest solution is to just get a router. [22:29] fryguy: [22:29] I think? [22:29] hi I've upgraded to ubuntu 9.04 added medibuntu but still I canon tinstall acroread [22:29] phenom just right clicked one worksspace then "poof' all gone looks like Windows XP now! [22:29] fryguy: i have never needed one before.. i have an ethernet connection in the wall [22:30] no phonejack [22:30] and it worked my prev session fryguy [22:30] norpan111: so then ignore me, and have no working internet connection, whatever :) [22:30] hmmmm [22:30] PeteOYore, Yea, I assume you accidently right clicked it, and deleted it. [22:31] phenom Oh! too bad [22:31] PeteOYore, Why you can not re-add it via right click > add to panel is odd [22:31] shouldn't ubuntu not let you do something like that? [22:31] norpan111: pppoe? bigpond? anything? [22:31] Does anyone know how I enable PAE support? I have 4GB of ram but linux only sees 2837252k total [22:32] if i try and run *ANY* flash in firefox, it hangs and i have to forcequit [22:32] phenom I guess but it is not there I did find a replacement for it but didn't dnld it [22:32] How do i UN do this cpan i did? [22:32] peabody: why not just run 64-bit linux [22:32] because of compatibility issues [22:32] PeteOYore, Try alt + f2 ,, and then metacity --replace and then compiz --replace [22:32] peabody: with what [22:33] peabody: Should be on standard. [22:33] peabody: Try enabling it in the bios [22:33] phenom errr OK .. I think [22:33] nathan7: thanks, I'll check that [22:33] peabody: What compatibility issues? [22:33] peabody: compatibility problems with what [22:34] PeteOYore, Worth a shot. Your desktop will appear to "reboot", and reload any widgets you have added. [22:34] fryguy: it suddenly start working [22:34] I don't remember.. I installed it when 9.04 came out, and I just remember there was a few hardware and software compatibility issues [22:34] phenom,, Nice thanks will try now [22:34] Oh, and can someone tell me how to get windows as first option at bootup? [22:34] so I trashed it and went back to 32bit [22:35] norpan111_: /boot/grub/menu.lst, just edit the list [22:35] I like the 64bit architecture more from a development standpoint because you have more than 3 registers to actually use [22:36] but 32 bit works better on my setup [22:36] file 'client1.key' is group or others accessible [22:36] file 'client1.key' is group or others accessible [22:36] peabody: apparently not if you are missing 25% of your ram lol [22:36] anyways, I'll give that a shot and hope I just missed a config setting in the bios [22:36] anyone? [22:36] noahnonono: why don't you elaborate, i offered to help you before and you ignored me [22:36] fryguy: semantics :p [22:36] hello everyone [22:36] oh soz [22:36] fryguy: well ther is ALOT to edit, is there a special line too look for? [22:37] I say 4gb you say 2.97 [22:37] norpan111_: no [22:37] phenom Nothing happens with alt + f2? [22:37] i have a queation [22:37] As of this morning, when I'm in X, every character I type comes up three times. It doesn't happen when I'm typing into a tty. Any thoughts on what I should look at changing? [22:37] later [22:37] norpan111_: it's pretty straightforward [22:37] How can i install Ubuntu on fakeraid? [22:37] does Ubutnu 9 support fakeraid? [22:37] voz: yes [22:37] how can i do that? [22:38] voz: probably the same way you do any other hard drive, if not try the alternate installer. and probably reconsider installing to a fakeraid, because it's a waste of time [22:38] OK i did CPAN in the middle of it doing its thing i lost access to shell how do i rease it and stat all over? [22:38] fryguy: dont want to change anything bad =/ can i just copy paste the order of the boot options? [22:38] yes [22:38] phenom> nothing happens with alt + F2 where do I type that? [22:38] it's not waste od time [22:38] (Obviously it's a bit hard to log in when everything's entered three times over.) [22:38] i have to dual-boot Ubuntu and Windows XP [22:39] i have some important programs on XP :( [22:39] voz: and that has *what* to do with fakeraid? [22:39] PeteOYore, ok.. Open a terminal and type metacity --replace & and then compiz --replace & [22:39] fryguy: sorry for being pain in the *** but did you say yes to me?:P [22:39] PeteOYore, type it any where. [22:39] well [22:39] norpan111_ yes [22:39] It should bring up a "run dialog" [22:39] phenom> thank you [22:39] -----> OK i did CPAN in the middle of it doing its thing i lost access to shell how do i rease it and stat all over? [22:39] how do I set up wireless on my laptop with Ubuntu 9.04? [22:39] hi ppl, i'm having problem with amarok, i've installed riht now and it don't play any sound. [22:39] performance is the thing which connects them together [22:39] I have 4 HDD [22:39] erase\ [22:40] in Stripe [22:40] RAID 0 [22:40] each 500GB [22:40] must have good HDD performance! [22:40] voz: fakeraid isn't going to be any faster, since it's cpu bound and chipset dependant, and in a lot of cases is going to actually be slower on a desktop profile. I'd do some benchmark before putting all of my data at risk and making installations and maintenance harder than it needs to be [22:40] anyone have any idea why ubuntu wont let me make a folder writable [22:40] i have a matroska (mkv) video anda .ac3 file with the language.. what palyer can make use of the video and language track? [22:40] well [22:41] inbtwnrthedoors: because you don't have permissions to change the directory's permissions? [22:41] this fakeraid almost dubles performance [22:41] ColdFyre: mplayer [22:41] i have already measured [22:41] hi man [22:41] it can be seen in every app [22:41] hi [22:41] even Windows starts faster [22:41] voz: so then follow the rest of the steps that i showed you then (and seemingly ignored) [22:41] fryguy: how would I go about changing it so i do [22:41] inbtwnrthedoors: run as root [22:42] fryguy: ist there some tutorial for Dual-Booting? [22:42] voz: RAID0 will give you nearly double read/write performance, and double your risk of data loss. [22:42] Does anyone know how to slow down the mouse, or make it less sensitive ? The controls for the mouse in preferences don't seem to enough of what I want. [22:42] there's plenty, and all largely unnecessary, since the ubuntu installer will just do it for you [22:42] i have an fx5200 video card which is running a simple opengl game. it lags in ubuntu 9.04 but not in debian.... does anyone have anytips on howot reduce the lag? [22:43] jeffrey1790: glxinfo | grep -i direct [22:43] it doesnt matter [22:43] nsahoo: Hi, it's me again. I tried booting from the live CD, but in vain. Is there something specific I should do here in order to restore the old menu.lst file such that Vista is displays as well as Ubuntu when booting the computer? Thx! [22:43] I need performance [22:43] PhotoJim, RAID0 won't help your seek performance at all, actually. It only helps serial access, which may or may not dominate your workload. [22:43] jeffrey1790: if that doesn't say "yes" you need to install a different driver [22:43] Simetrical: yes, that's a good point. [22:43] Simetrical: performance is incrased in every app [22:43] im using 173 [22:43] i have direct rendering [22:43] voz: Bear in mind that data loss has a negative effect on performance. [22:44] Not installed [22:44] PhotoJim: dataloss unimportant (everything important is on DVD) [22:44] voz: http://www.anandtech.com/storage/showdoc.aspx?i=2101 [22:44] help for creative pc-cam600 ...no image! [22:44] Is there anyway to redo cpan after you ran it? [22:44] fryguy-> also when i try this hard drive in a pc with 6100 graphics it lags too. [22:45] voz: quote from the article: If you haven't gotten the hint by now, we'll spell it out for you: there is no place, and no need for a RAID-0 array on a desktop computer" [22:45] this Linux is supid as you all [22:45] voz: carry on then. just be sure you understand all the connotations, including the failure rate of burned DVDs. [22:45] I need help with a mouse sensitivity issue. Can anyone help ? [22:45] What's recommended procedure for upgrading an Ubuntu Server? I hear it's sudo do-release-upgrade, but that has no man page. What does it do? Does it involve downtime? Is there a risk of things going wrong? [22:45] I did'nt wanted [22:45] some tests with raid [22:45] jeffrey1790: I would reccommend running ubuntu hardy 8.04 LTS - you might have better luck as the drivers have been in the queue longer [22:45] phenon It said Not Installed [22:45] i asked a simple question [22:45] hey guys, looking for some data recovery software.Any suggestions [22:45] Simetrical: yes downtime, yes risk of things going wrong [22:45] abd you [22:45] needs to be able to recovery from windows drives as well [22:45] Simetrical: Downtime yes, although perhaps not much. Risk of things going wrong, yes. [22:45] Johnny Lifeson [22:45] How much downtime? [22:45] Simetrical: depends [22:45] Ballpark? [22:46] fccf-> i need a hard drive image done for tomorrow, its too late to go for 8.04 [22:46] Simetrical: 10 mins [22:46] fryguy: how would I do that [22:46] Okay. [22:46] inbtwnrthedoors: use sudo [22:46] anyone here using an intel pro wirless 3945abg without connection dropping? [22:46] I can do the upgrade over SSH, right? [22:46] tpdd: yep [22:46] is there anyway to change nvidia quality settings in terminal? [22:46] Simetrical: How much depends on what apps you are using, and what happens. Possibly only minutes. Possibly days depending on your technical expertise and subjectivity to Murphy's Law. [22:46] tpdd: well i used to before i changed operating systems [22:46] fryguy: thats what I thought but it still didnt work [22:46] tpdd: worked fine [22:46] inbtwnrthedoors: what is the directory [22:47] fryguy what are you using now? [22:47] PhotoJim, worst-case, I plan to pull out one of the disks in my RAID1 mirror and make sure it's bootable in case something goes horribly wrong. [22:47] tpdd: freebsd [22:47] So hopefully shouldn't be days unless something really nasty happens. [22:47] Anyway, is there a command I can use to pre-download all the packages so that the upgrade will go quicker when I have to do it for real? [22:47] phenom Sadly I have a meeting to attend now BUT THANK VERY much for the effort [22:47] Or is that too much of a pain to be worth it? [22:47] Simetrical: is this a production machine? one other question to ask is what benefit you'll get from upgrading. many people in IT feel that server upgrades should be done very sparingly and infrequently (except for security upgrades of course). [22:48] fryguy: /usr/share/vuze [22:48] PeteOYore, Good luck. Hope you get your desktop looking linux again [22:48] inbtwnrthedoors: and what do you want to do with the directory [22:48] Thank man! [22:48] fryguy make it writable so vuze can update [22:48] jeffrey1790: you do know about sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf - your x config [22:49] yep [22:49] PhotoJim, it's a production machine, yes, sole server for twcenter.net. It's a gaming fan site, not the end of the world if it has an hour or two planned downtime. I'm upgrading because there's a kernel bug we're running into that forces the server to be rebooted every couple of days due to soft lockup, which is a PITA. Tried upgrading just the kernel already, from several sources, and it didn't work out, so I figure the best course at this [22:49] point is full OS upgrade. [22:49] inbtwnrthedoors: sudo chmod -R o+rwx /usr/share/vuze/ <-- please read the manpage of tools before asking basic unix permission questions in the future [22:49] jeffrey1790: that would be the place to change settings [22:49] . . . Also, the version of vim in 8.10 has syntax highlighting for git commit messages, which is nice. [22:49] Simetrical: if everything else is ok and it's just a kernel bug, why not try a custom kernel? Much less risk. you can fall back to your current kernel if you screw it up. [22:49] i know.... what would i type in to decrease the video quality? [22:50] PhotoJim, I did, repeatedly. Didn't get any of them to work. [22:50] Simetrical: that's not a vim thing, that's a vim plugin/addon thing, easy enough to go to vimscripts and just grab it [22:50] fccf ^^^^^ [22:50] I was kidding about the vim thing, I don't really care about that much. [22:50] Simetrical: that begs a question: why do you think an OS upgrade will fix it then? [22:50] I cann't get the software needed for DVD playback. [22:50] Think I need a new respository but don't know how to get it. [22:50] PWilder: medibuntu [22:50] jeffrey1790: not sure can you pastebin your xorg.conf [22:50] !dvd > PWilder [22:50] PWilder, please see my private message [22:50] PhotoJim, because I assume I did something wrong in getting the kernel to work, and that using packaged stuff is more likely to work. [22:51] Simetrical: well, possibly true. but it's not that hard to wiggle toward getting a custom kernel to work. I'm purely a hobbyist, no IT guy at all and I was able to do it. I'm not trying to talk you out of it, just thinking of what solution is going to have the lowest risk for you. [22:52] I'm having problems with my sound. I'm using Gnome under Jaunty. The sound will only work if I set the sound preferences on HDA (OSS). The other options (autodetect, or the "plain" ALSA, OSS or pulseaudio options) do not work, only produce a static sound in the speakers. I followed instructions in: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130384 and the troubleshooting links in it, but nothing helps. I have a ICH9, if it [22:52] fccf -> http://pastebin.com/m3dcfe561 [22:52] helps with anything. [22:52] One problem here is that I only have SSH access, and the on-site guy a) has to drive a good distance to get to the data center and isn't always able to get there when I want him there, and b) doesn't really know Linux at all. [22:52] Cheers @ll [22:52] So it's a pain for me to boot to other kernels in a safe way, since he has to be there. [22:52] anyone familiar with scrounge-ntfs? [22:52] Otherwise I'd have experimented with that more. [22:52] fryguy: alright that looks like it worked, thanks, I had found some comand online but I guess it wasnt the right one [22:53] Simetrical: that's a negative. but honestly, that's a negative doing an OS upgrade too. [22:53] Yes, but not if that works without much fiddling, which it might. [22:53] I mean, I can't really fiddle with kernels much when he's sitting there waiting and has to leave in less than an hour or whatever. [22:53] Simetrical: any chance you have a spare box you could do a similar install on to try locally, so you could do an upgrade and see if it works without caring if it breaks? [22:54] That's a good idea. [22:54] Simetrical: i.e. can you find hardware on which the bug will repeat, and know if it's been fixed? [22:54] That, no. [22:54] We haven't been able to reproduce. [22:54] It only occurs under load. [22:54] Simetrical: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:54] Simetrical: still helpful in order to know if the upgrade ought to work though. [22:54] Yes, agreed. [22:54] Simetrical: just make sure to install *all* the same packages. [22:54] I'll have him take one of the disks out of RAID1. [22:54] That way we get everything. [22:55] jeffrey1790: It might run better if you enabled some standard modules... 640x480 should fly [22:55] The difficulty of fiddling remains, unless he sends the disk from Denver to New York so I can fiddle with it myself, which seems a little silly. [22:55] Simetrical: there are other ways to do it. I'd have to ponder it to know if it's better. but my instinct is to not pull drives yet, except as a backup when yo uactually do your upgrade for real. [22:55] Simetrical: you can use an aptitude or apt command to list installed packages easily enough. [22:55] Well, we've done it before to test the RAID and know that it works fine. [22:56] Simetrical: honestly, useful in order to help you know how to rebuild it fast in the event of catastrophe anyway. [22:56] Then how do I find out if the actual site works? With all the configuration changes and web apps and whatever? [22:56] fccf -> standard modules? [22:57] Simetrical: just install everything on your dummy machine, scp your config files over, change the little that needs to be changed, and do some testing. [22:57] short question: is there an easy command, that shows that i have the 32Bit or 64Bit installed?? [22:57] Tux007: uname -a [22:57] Simetrical: you will still have to do it for real to know for sure. but this will help you establish if a dist-upgrade will work properly. [22:57] Yes. [22:57] Hmm. [22:57] hello [22:57] jeffrey1790: look at lines 31-43... these are the modules ... the ones with # are disabled [22:57] * Tux007 is freshman ;) [22:58] ayone got problems with slow video playback /choppy at nvidia 9**** serrie? [22:58] Simetrical: You'll have to insert your willingness to incur risk into the question. the less risk you can afford to take, the more worthwhile this is. for a home server, you could probably live with the downtime. if you make money off this site, you probably want to be careful. [22:58] Not a commercial site. Some downtime isn't a huge deal. [22:59] fccf -> just uncommented all those... no changew [22:59] Simetrical: so, would you rather spend this time for sure... or the time needed to fix it (but with only a % chance)... [22:59] change* [22:59] Well, it's not for sure in any event, since it might be some weird hardware interaction that's not even fixed in mainline. [23:00] Simetrical: yes. it could also be an actual hardware problem. (speculation here of course) [23:00] so any one got video problems now my htpc cannot play damned video [23:00] jeffrey1790: you may not need all of them ... I backup xorg.conf before restarting x server ... restart x to committ changes [23:00] Perhaps possible. [23:00] It's different cores every time, on different CPUs, though (this is a 16-core box). [23:00] hi all, might anyone have experience getting a touchscreen working on a lifebook b6210 ?? ive tried all the guides/evtouch howto's with no luck [23:01] fccf -> ive tried many combinations for the past week [23:01] Also, the kernel on those CPUs doesn't die entirely, it just goes into soft lockup. [23:01] Simetrical: under load though... could be an I/O issue. or RAM. are those possible here? [23:01] Well, the symptoms strongly suggest an actual kernel bug. [23:01] Not? [23:02] The kernel log says that some CPUs have gone into soft lockup and aren't running the scheduler. They show 100% system time, and stack traces provided seem to indicate they're waiting on a lock of some kind. [23:02] How do i remove cpan [23:02] I'd guess it's a race condition of some sort. Of course, some problem that's really in the hardware is possible. [23:02] jeffrey1790: generally , bitmap, direct rendering (dri) and glx are used ... you may also need Glcore, if it is part of the nvidia kernel which IDK [23:02] Simetrical: OK. Well, my strong instinct is to work on the custom kernel. I think a kernel customized to your hardware is far moe likely to work than a generic kernel, particularly if it's an obscure problem. but I'm just a hobbyist. :) #ubuntu-server people might be good to talk to for some other opinions. [23:03] better to upgrade 8.04 - 8.10 - 9.04 or 8.04 - 9.04? [23:03] hallo ? [23:03] iceroot, 8.04-9.04 isn't a supported upgrade path. [23:03] Hello guys, I have an ubuntu laptop (actually my girlfriend does) that just upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04 and now wont boot anymore. Init drops to a shell from #initramfs after complaining "cannot setup loopback device, file not found". Can anybody give me a hand here? [23:03] iceroot: they are the same actually. the latter will force the former. [23:03] ayone know how to resolve video hang up slowing down choppy ? [23:03] iceroot: the former [23:04] Simetrical: PhotoJim: fccf: thx [23:04] m5d-sp3: video as in 'flash' videos? or video as in 3d game videos... :) tell the channel sspecifics. [23:04] fccf -> Hmmmmm [23:05] Dr_Willis, no is every video in every player [23:05] not sure what the problem is [23:05] Dr_Willis, in ubuntu intrepid was no problems at all [23:05] Using XDMCP, is there a way to keep apps runniing after you logout? Like Windows Remote desktop does? [23:05] Erm..anyone here good with 7zip? [23:05] fccf -> only part that lags are the images moving up the screen. perhaps a cpu mathematical error? [23:05] Can Someone point in the direction of redoing CPAN? [23:05] jeffrey1790: are you restarting x server .. it reads the file every time x starts [23:05] im looking for the best file compression options, like smallest files izes after compressed [23:05] supercom32: depends on the ap. You can use 'nohup' or 'screen' for terminal apps.. otherwise. youmay want to check into 'vnc' [23:05] fccf -> yeah. sshed to it [23:05] Simetrical: no, using VNC is akin to Windows Remote Desktop. that's probably what you want to use. [23:06] killall Xorg [23:06] Simetrical: oh, sorry, not your question :) [23:06] Dr_Willis: But VNC lets anyone at the local desktop to view what you are doing right? Is there a secure way to do this? [23:06] supercom32: no, using VNC is akin to Windows Remote Desktop. that's probably what you want to use. [23:06] jeffrey1790: does the gamehead flash off and back on [23:06] Afternoon - I'm poking around with trying to get paravirtualization (with kvm/qemu) working on Ubuntu 9.04 on an amd64 arch, installed from a standard live cd, however it does not seem to allow it. I've added the users to the libvirtd group as to allow them to manage virtualized machines, but there's no ability to select paravirtualized when using virt-manager - any ideas what this may be due to? [23:07] PhotoJim: But if I am connected other users can see what is happening on the local monitor. Remote desktop shows "This termiinal is locked" or something to that effect. [23:07] Disconnect the monitor? [23:07] supercom32: look into X11 forwarding, xdmcp, and xpra [23:07] moin [23:07] click: http://www.howtoforge.com/virtualization-with-kvm-on-ubuntu-9.04 [23:08] Fryguy: But when you log out of your XDMCP session all apps terminate? So if I kick off a video encode it will die.? [23:08] nvm.. [23:08] fabbi: italiano? [23:08] supercom32: depends on how you run it [23:08] supercom32: if you care about persistent X11 clients, use xpra [23:08] fryguy: already gone through it, it was one of the first things i looked at, but it still doesn't do PV for some odd reason [23:08] fryguy: How do you launch a GUI app and not have it terminate? [23:08] fccf -> gamehead? [23:08] supercom32: use xpra [23:09] jeffrey1790: the games screen [23:09] supercom32: or just run a cli-based app [23:09] supercom32: correct. might be ways around it but I don't know what they are. if you need to run apps there and the owner of that machine (or user, if you're the owner) understand what might happen, just talk to that person and explain not to disrupt those apps. or run a virtual machine on that machine, and VNC into it. [23:09] supercom32: no - vnc is more flexiable then the LIMITED 'vnc' you see on a windows machine. [23:10] fryguy: essentially, it does not accept PV, just standard fully virtualized systems - hence the question here [23:10] fccf -> yeah.... it i usually just ctrl + c th start script and killall Xorg. then X restarts.... [23:10] supercom32: you could have a dozen+ 'hidden' vnc sessions going. [23:10] habn asus 1000h und benutze den standard bildbetrachter um bilder anzuschaun...aber das umschalten von einem zum nächsten bild dauert immer so 2 bis 3 sekunden. geht das irgendwie schneller?
