[00:00] edbian: thanks anyway ... I apprecaite the effort [00:00] http://pastebin.com/m3e62257f alright why can't I install openssh-server on the Live CD [00:00] my amarok won't play any songhow do i fix that? [00:00] hou5ton: NP [00:00] sagredo: whats the problem more specifically [00:00] do i video drivers or something? [00:01] doyox: What type of song file? Will it play anything at all? [00:01] mp3 [00:01] no, it doesn't play [00:01] FloridaVoter what do you mean [00:01] I can't install openssh-server [00:01] that's a pretty significant problem [00:01] but still i can use rhytmbox [00:02] sagredo: what's the issue ?

[00:04] What exactly is the process indicator-apple? [00:04] Just for mp3 support you have to install libxine1-ffmpeg [00:04] there ya go doyox [00:05] libxine1--ffmpeg [00:05] (w16 [00:05] thank you edbian [00:05] :D [00:05] Thank theyeti! [00:05] hello [00:05] ikonia I cannot install openssh-server in the LiveCD [00:05] http://pastebin.com/m3e62257f [00:05] Some guy was in here last night who said all sound worked fine, but Amarok would not play any sound.. [00:05] I have made a partition with gparted, and i have mounted the drive how do i gain permissions to write on the partition ? [00:05] FeasibilityStudy: that would have been a problem with phonon probably [00:05] trble: Where did you mount the drive? [00:06] flpwch thats what I thought..He tried everything and couldnt get it working [00:06] trble: Go to that dir in the terminal [00:06] FeasibilityStudy: he probably had his pulse audio fubared or he didn't have any codecs installed. Or what flpwch said [00:06] edbian: i in /dev/sda5 [00:06] wow my connection is insanely slow on ubuntu for some reason... [00:06] 2kb/s download wtf [00:06] trble: Where in your filesystem? /media/... === Miranda is now known as Guest75321 [00:06] FeasibilityStudy: odd, could have been alsa/etc. as well [00:07] edbian: i made it ext3 [00:07] hi, i'm running an rsync, and it s stuck..?? [00:07] I have a confusing issue. Long story short, I was out of the country and someone broke my Ubuntu install. I am running on a live cd (Kubuntu) right now. I want to do a fresh install, but i want to recover the files from previous. I can't see it in the browser. Can anyone assist? [00:07] signing off.. [00:07] trble: yeah. When you mount a partition you take all of it's files and place it in a folder in your / (root) filesystem === irc is now known as Guest98622 [00:07] qcjn try to explain more what's happening? [00:07] stepanstas: you open the file browser and can't find the file system? [00:07] trble: This is usually done in /media [00:08] * theyeti <3's flpwch. Every time I try to type a response he beats me by 5 seconds. [00:08] heh [00:08] testbottu, i ran it , to show progress, but now it s stuck at one file at 16 % [00:08] where can I find lightest ubuntu installation vm ? [00:08] edbian: well i mounted it, and i can view the inside it, but i cannot write to it [00:08] theyeti: i'll let you answer if you tell me what indicator-apple is :3 [00:08] ok, the hd is filled [00:08] flpwch: I had 2 drives on my pc. I can see one of them, but that was just a data drive. I also see two more partitions which were attempted installs of Kubuntu. But i cannot see the old Ubuntu partition. [00:08] Guest98622: you can use unetbootin to make your own [00:08] testbottu, [00:09] trble: So it shows up in "computer" correct? [00:09] sagredo: have you tried removing the package from the cache directory and try re-getting it ? [00:09] edbian: yes it does [00:09] flpwch: my hopes are that it was not formated [00:09] testbottu, the hd is filled , i made an error in my path [00:09] qcjn: lol ok.. try to clear some HD space then :) [00:09] stepanstas: so you tried installing kubuntu over the ubuntu? [00:09] testbottu, it must had made a second directory [00:09] trble: Go into it and then press the up arrow (not the back, the up) Where do you land? [00:09] anyone available for media private chat help? [00:09] qcjn: :) hope you get it solved now [00:10] http://pastebin.com/m3e62257f alright why can't I install openssh-server on the Live CD [00:10] destruction: if you ask the channel, the channel will help [00:10] sagredo: have you tried removing the package from the cache directory and try re-getting it ? [00:10] edbian: i land in /media [00:10] ikonia that won't do anything [00:10] sagredo: why ? [00:10] flpwch: I didn't want to answer anyway. And ummmmmmm, it tells you some sort of indication? Heck if I know. it's an indicator applet but what it is indicating is beyond me [00:10] flpwch: when i was out of the country, someone tried to install Kubuntu over the Ubuntu. They have not recovered the files thought, I am hoping I can do that. [00:10] ikonia I believe the issue lies in the fact that the OS is running off the CD, not off of memeory thus I'm not able to add new packages on the fly [00:10] testbottu, i didn't put the ending /, that is what i think i should have put [00:10] do you understand? [00:10] trble: One of the folders in /media contains your new harddrive partition, which is it? [00:10] sagredo: that's wrong [00:10] alright sounds good thanks [00:10] ikonia alright what do you want to try [00:10] sagredo: you can add packages to the livecd session as it's stored in memory [00:10] stepanstas: i'm going to assume you've lost the headers to the files [00:11] edbian: i named it backup [00:11] they *might* still be there, [00:11] ikonia the cursor blinks at your command, what would you suggest? [00:11] edbian: so in the list its backup along with the others [00:11] sagredo: there is a possability you may not have enough ram to uncompress/run it but that's very unlikley [00:11] trble: Awesome! so /media/backup correct? go to /media in a terminal. Do you know how to do that? [00:11] testbottu, cause the destination folder is /media/hdmusique , and i've put it like that [00:11] ikonia this laptop has over a GByte [00:11] sagredo: remove the package file from the cache directory and then re-get it [00:11] if the install was canceled, you the drive is still written, sort of like when you empty the recycle bin the files still exist, stepanstas [00:11] ikonia apt-get purge? [00:11] edbian: yes i know using cd command [00:12] sagredo: no - manually remove the file [00:12] trble: good [00:12] edbian: im there [00:12] ikonia the .deb? [00:12] trble: I'm going to give you a command but I'll explain it first [00:12] I am having problems after upgrading to jaunty with mp3 play back - i have the typical media codecs installed and the files will play in rythymbox but i still get a warning trying to find the correct play back during play of a file [00:12] sagredo: var/cache/apt/archives/openssh-server_1%3a5.1p1-5ubuntu1_i386.deb [00:12] edbian: thanks explaining it does help learning about it [00:12] qcjn: yes i think you're right [00:12] there's software that recovers those files, but i can't think of the names. you might try googling for a live cd with some file recovery software. [00:12] sudo (give you root power) chown (changes the owner of a file) trble (you) /media/backup (the folder) [00:13] there is a chance, though stepanstas that its lost for good [00:13] trble: So the whole thing is "sudo chown trble /media/backup" [00:13] if the data was written over by the kubuntu install attempt [00:13] testbottu, :( that is what i was afraid, from the beginning....thanks [00:13] qcjn: good luck [00:13] edbian: thanks alot :) [00:13] theyeti: indicator-applet is being run by conky. i see now. [00:13] testbottu, thanks [00:14] im not a fan of that one bit. [00:14] trble: NP!

And that some people reported that it tried to eat existance on their system [00:15] and it says no target specified and no makeilefound. stop.

[00:15] SyphonSilent: open your package manager (synaptic) search for xchat then mark for install [00:16] SyphonSilent: I assume that you are trying to do something funky with xchat else you would have just installed it from synaptic or aptitude? [00:16] hey i'm trying to mount my SD card but I get "can't read superblock" [00:16] SyphonSilent: the ubuntu developers have built and packaged xchat for you [00:16] oh [00:16] I dont know how to install lol, I download the tarball from the xchat site [00:16] sudo apt-get xchat [00:16] It's okay SyphonSilent.

I've found some but they are pretty outdated, it seems/ [00:31] When you install a package through aptitude, is the source download as well, or do you have to get that elsewhere?

[00:32] vixus, i also use sd cards [00:32] trey__, to the current working directory [00:32] vixus: what's the problem ? [00:32] ah thanks [00:32] i'm used to freebsd [00:32] ikonia, on attempting to mount I simply get "can't read superblock" [00:33] vixus, still on LTS on my laptop here. which works well *knocks on wood* [00:33] trey__, i have always loved the ports system ;), but offtopic for here [00:33] vixus: what file system is on it, and what mount command are you using [00:33] anyone use dwm? [00:33] ikonia: fat16, so I use sudo mount -t vfat /dev/mmcblk0 /media/sd [00:33] I have an fstab entry setup too, but that results in the same thing obviously [00:34] what's in dmesg | tail? [00:34] various block I/O errors.. I'd have to boot back into ubuntu to give you the exact details [00:35] vixus, i would use at least fat32, if not ntfs [00:35] vixus, that might be one of the issues [00:35] what's the type for fat32? (tried ntfs -- no luck) [00:35] i thought vfat covered both [00:36] vixus, well i meant format the card to fat32 [00:36] vixus, the same card works on the same hardware on a different OS? [00:36] hmm, i tried a format with mkdosfs, but I got an error for that too.. [00:36] strange thing with networkmanager on a 9.04 workstation after a recent update it failed. Just ran sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start which started it but still failed then went to the networkmanger icon and was able to get set auto and get it back working [00:37] and then when i did parted -l, I got "/dev/mmcblk0 bad device label" [00:37] Has anyone ever tried to lock an xsession over ssh?

Never heard of those but I'll goog it. Im trying to get two independent xsessions linked via synergy to lock at the same ti [00:41] E [00:41] vixus: i'm not sure since i haven't tried jaunty yet, but the "bad device label" msg could be a hint [00:41] *time [00:41] mibbsy: What might it mean?

[00:47] please help :( [00:47] mibbsy: If I'm honest, no... even my WinXP install isn't working with it.. not sure why though, it was working before plus it's built in. Tried installing the proprietary drivers on WinXP but then it wouldn't boot anymore. [00:47] also, has anyone an idea what could be going wrong with my attempt to open a URL in firefox run as a different user? sudo -H -u username firefox -remote= openurl 'http://the.url' --display=:0.0 tries to open a new firefox instance, while the same command (sans sudo) run from a shell run as the user FF runs under, it works [00:48] mibbsy, use gksu for graphical applications [00:48] whenever i start my pc it asks my wireless' password even i have saved the password [00:48] hey, i have a samba server running and sometimes the whole pc freezes when i delete files on it... anyone know? [00:48] vixus: tried reformatting it from XP yet? and yeah as someone said earlier, try fat32 [00:49] mibbsy, the device won't run.. I get a Code 10 error in device manager. Like I said, when I installed the relevant drivers, Windows wouldn't boot anymore :/ [00:50] mibbsy: try adding -no-remote [00:50] mibbsy: That's why I was hoping Ubuntu could do it.. [00:50] mibbsy, why would you ever want to run firefox as the superuser anyway? [00:51] unop, he wants to run it as ANOTHER user, not necessarily su.

[00:54] mibbsy, my guess is the -remote option only works on firefox processes running as the same user. [00:54] lakotajames, you'll have to search for it, there are tons of PPA's [00:54] cabrey: i've just tried the same using gksudo, getting cannot open display: :0.0 [00:54] cabrey: I can't find one on the enlightenment site [00:54] lakotajames, btw: [00:54] ruler: there are very few viruses that can affect Linux-based or other unix-like operating systems [00:54] !wireless [00:54] !ppa | lakotajames [00:54] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [00:54] lakotajames: With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad.

[01:56] hacker07: so the backtrack 4 people must've really screwed something up [01:57] hacker07, that is a security system distro [01:57] backtrack is a security distro [01:57] yeah [01:57] Flannel, no its designed that way, but its only a live cd [01:57] I am running root right now but this irc client is not... so am I doing something safe [01:57] Is backtrack used for forensics, hacker07? [01:58] yeah and other pentesting stuff [01:58] hacker07, but why do you insist on using root in ubuntu? [01:58] i do not. I am not using ubuntu [01:58] hacker07, this is a ubuntu support channel [01:58] I know but I use ubuntu A LOT [01:58] question: How do i make ubuntu ask me to select a user and enter password on startup? right now it logs me in automatically as user 1. but what if i want to log in as user 2 === Vindemiatrix is now known as Vndmtrx [01:59] Lucifer_Cat, System > Administration > Login Window [01:59] cabrey: any way to do it via command line? my desktop environment is blown apparently [02:00] Lucifer_Cat, that sounds like the more pressing issue. what happened? [02:00] i can only see the taskbar and icons like volume and date. nothing else comes up. no menus nothing [02:00] hi all [02:00] just add the stuff back [02:00] i mean i do get "preferences, about" and things like that when i rightclick but thats it [02:00] Lucifer_Cat, sounds like you removed the menu, you can add it back [02:01] hacker07: cabrey: how? [02:01] can you right click on the docks [02:01] Lucifer_Cat, right click -> Add to panel [02:01] the main problem was, i switched from the "netbook environment" to the regular desktop. it worked fine at first, then things went to hell [02:01] cab. hmm lemme try that. i ignored that option [02:01] any calendar program under console? better can import google calendar. [02:02] !tab | Lucifer_Cat [02:02] Lucifer_Cat: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [02:02] ;) [02:03] how does ubuntu handle its sessions? [02:03] there is no add to panel option. theres only "preferences, about, remove from panel, move and lock to panel" [02:03] Lucifer_Cat, right click on open space, not an icon [02:03] hacker07: what do you use the for? Work or play? [02:03] use the for? [02:04] dsdeiz, what do you mean? [02:04] hacker07, that for probably [02:04] hacker07: "use the" == "use the backtrack" [02:04] cabrey: there are no icons anywhere. just the taskbar on top and the empty desktop (okay there are system tray icons, but they dont count) [02:04] well the backtrack 4 is not for work nor play [02:05] rightclicking on the desktop does nothing, and rightclicking on the taskbar brings that little menu up. thats it.

[02:55] Jck_true, make a request on this mailing list: ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com [02:55] I have a Logitech quickcam Connect in Ubuntu 9.04 but I cant make it work, somebody here knows how to do it? Please Help [02:55] cabrey: Allright thanks alot [02:55] gabriel__, has anybody directed you to the webcam support page?

[02:57] like right click title bar -> advanced [02:58] carpii, im on gnome, so i dont think so, i havent made any changes other than adding it to start on boot through sessions in system>prefs (8.10) [02:58] Is there a way to configure the notifications in Jaunty? They're hard to see on my Eee 701. I would like them to use a larger font and or stay up longer. [02:58] ambi, if you kill it and restart conky manhually, does it have same problem ? [02:59] denardo, not yet [02:59] denardo, really? wow i'm using a 900 and i can see them clearly [03:00] carpii, thats solved the problem, is there any way i could have conky on boot without it hitting the same issue? [03:00] im not sure, maybe its something to do with the order its being loaded ? [03:00] i cant see youtube [03:00] cabrey: The screen's a bit smaller on the 701. I think getting them n view with my bifocals, when I hve the Eee on my lap, takes more time than they allow. [03:01] i know kde has some offscreen desktop buffer, and you have to config conky to use it else you get strange effects [03:01] but its been a while since io bothered with conky, so its all a bit vague [03:01] hi there [03:01] i cant see youtube [03:01] juan-pablo: Can you tell us more? [03:01] heh. [03:01] ill do all that i can [03:02] i put flash [03:02] i put java [03:02] carpii, my conky config is fine, its just odd that it does this on startup, but its ok mate, its not too hard to throw up a terminal when i startup :) thanks for the simple, but effective solution. im kinda stupid for not trying that first ha. [03:02] n still dont work [03:02] hehe np, good luck automating it :p [03:02] thanks denardo [03:03] juan-pablo: What version of Ubuntu are you running, and on what kind of system (PC, etc)?

Get the latest Flash player. " [03:12] bsmith_, you'll need ddclient [03:12] is there drivers for a ati radeon 9800 pro from hardware drivers? dont care if they arent open source [03:12] ims, always welcome, brother tux. [03:12] texas is working hard to get round the language barrier ims, please, let him keep at it ;) [03:13] usser: is that it? because I don't have a static ip address [03:13] juan-pablo, what browser are you using? [03:13] firefox [03:13] hey i just installed freeware client SUBJECT OF DISK IN "VOM LIBRARY CUSTOM" -x -d -er -f -ggr /hd -eu /ldk /wiw -99ie [03:13] bsmith_, the setup is pretty straightforward, change the username/password that you use with dyndns and domain, and run the script it will keep your ip updated [03:13] bsmith_, yea [03:13] and now i cant play CORRIDOR 7 anymore [03:13] but epiphany dosnt worrk too [03:13] bsmith_, i think ddclient is even in the repos [03:13] usser, it is [03:13] how can i play corridor 7 on ubuntu [03:14] hambeef, dosbox [03:14] hello, I got a eth0 network question, I got my wireless network running fine. but now my wired network is not working. ifconfig does not show an eth0 [03:14] i tried installing SUBJECT OF DISK IN "VOM LIBRARY CUSTOM" -x -d -er -f -ggr /hd -eu /ldk /wiw -99ie freeware but it doesnt work [03:14] i receive help from everybody thanks [03:14] usser: just to clarify. install ubuntu server, update to latest edition, install ddclient, and then it will work? [03:14] juan-pablo, what do you mean by epiphany doesn't work too? [03:15] is there drivers for a ati radeon 9800 pro from hardware drivers? dont care if they arent open source. i want to make sure i won't be buying something non-working for ubuntu [03:15] can someone help me [03:15] juan-pablo, go to 'synaptic' and uninstall all 'flash' stuff. Then just install the «flash» and «build-essentials» packages, NOT the «flash-installer» one... I think that's gonna work. [03:15] bsmith_, yea, but you'll have to do some configuration for ddclient i dunno if ubuntu will give you some sort of gui to set your usernam/domain etc. last time i did it i had to modify the ddclient script manually [03:16] bsmith: should i even use the server version or should i just use the 32bit? [03:16] rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(977) [sender=2.6.9] <-- i have this error and don't know what it si, made a text log of the operation [03:16] racecar56, you're buying something non-workiing, not only in ubuntu but in pretty much every other OS, as ati drops support for not so old cards, and 9800 is no longer supported [03:16] bsmith_, ddclient will happily work on a desktop [03:16] ims, I think that flash is not working at all for juan-pablo. Not in firefox, nor any other browser... [03:16] usser, k thanks for the info [03:16] epiphany is working [03:17] usser, i want to find a decent video card that has support for old stuff WHILE not being cheapo like a 9200SE [03:17] ims, I'm wrong... Bzzzz. o.O =) [03:17] bad but works [03:17] racecar56, buy nvidia, their drivers and support are superb [03:17] juan-pablo, strange... If works at epiphany it should works at firefox. [03:17] usser: am I able to use ddclient for LAMP, media, print, and FTP server [03:17] racecar56, any nvidia [03:17] usser, btw it -has- to be agp and i don't think nvidia won't work [03:17] usser, *nvidia won't work [03:17] it has problems between audio n video [03:18] racecar56, why not, nvidia has still plenty of agp cards on the market [03:18] thanks guys [03:18] usser, :| because what i use dosen't like nvidia [03:18] usser, but i WISH..... [03:18] bsmith_, ddclient doesnt care what services are installed all it does it makes sure that your hostname can be resolved to a real ip. [03:18] some times go quick n some times slow [03:18] bsmith_, so yea all those will work as long as the hostname resolves to ip properly [03:19] usser, i know to stay away from the geforce 7100 (it's pci-e anyway...) [03:19] looks that i put tooo adds on on firefox [03:19] racecar56, what doesnt like nvidia? [03:19] is there a list anywhere of the events/programs that will prompt those new little black box notifications to appear? [03:19] usser, stuff [03:19] racecar56, i used 5200 with no problems [03:19] usser, i use things that lag with nvidia cards [03:19] racecar56, thats interesting, just out of curiosity what things are those? [03:19] usser: isn't there also code I need to edit to update the IP address when dyndns.com changes it? [03:19] usser, you shure things from around 1998 will just work? [03:20] juan-pablo, you installed some add-ons on firefox? [03:20] I got a grub error 17 - Can anyone tell me what I have to reconfigure [03:20] racecar56, 1998?? geez. if you can call it working, you probably wont even drivers for that, oss or not it wont make much difference [03:20] usser, yeah but they ARE 3D [03:20] yes i put a lot of ads on on firefox [03:20] bsmith_, yes, you have to change the script so it uses your dyndns account [03:20] bsmith_, which ddclient should tell where the script is located [03:21] now i cant see redtube with epiphany [03:21] juan-pablo, maybe that's your problem... [03:21] racecar56, sure opengl 1.0 and directx 5.0 [03:21] hehe [03:21] what i supposst to do [03:21] usser, what about dx 6 and opengl 2.x? [03:21] usser: Thank you very much you have been extremely helpful. just one last question, how secure would this server potential be? [03:21] not watch so much porn [03:21] usser, that sounds good [03:21] jajajajajajajajajaa [03:21] jajajajjajajaaj [03:22] What is the best video capture i can install? [03:22] but its strange [03:22] Grub error 17 | anyone? [03:22] racecar56, to be honest i've played openarena on a pretty old ati 7500, with opensource drivers with no problems === knoledgesponge is now known as Sithis [03:22] guys, i installed 9.04 today and noticed a problem with a sound for example i move a window and hold pressed mouse button for a while and music stops till i will release a button [03:22] racecar56, still i dont like ati === Sithis is now known as wandering [03:22] bsmith_, what do you mean secure? [03:22] usser, i have to admit i don't like amd at all really [03:22] how do i clear adds on [03:22] usser: how easily can the server be hacked? [03:22] * evil3_ What is the best video capture i can install? [03:23] juan-pablo, disable [03:23] hey guys, I am encountering alot of lag...and according to the forums that would point to my video driver. However, I am only using a generic onboard with an intel chipset [03:23] juan-pablo, just «firefox» and «flash»: all sites works perfectly. Now, uninstall this add-ons, and see if you get a better experience. If not... Just do what I said before... I'm gonna play some poker... [03:23] usser, well a nvidia is ok but it -HAS- to work for things from as old as dx4 to as new as around dx7 and opengl 2.x [03:23] bsmith_, well that depends on how strong your admin password is, what type of services you run, if your current with latest security updates etc, has nothing to do with people being able to get to your server by hostname === texasjack is now known as texasjack[away] [03:24] usser, seriously i'd take anything as long as it dosen't suck with old stuff [03:24] bsmith_, i know i get about 200 ssh scans a day and i dont even advertise my server anywhere [03:24] usser, this computer im using is from ~2005 and it only has an agp slot (K8S-LA mobo) [03:24] usser: Im sorry, ssh scans? [03:25] racecar56, my experience with nvidia was great, its all backwards compatible, i dont know what problems youre having but if it runs nexuiz or openarena fine it shouldnt have any problems with earlier stuff === rocky|_ is now known as rocky| [03:26] usser, hoping that it wont suck like a 7100, only has new support [03:26] bsmith_, if you have ssh server installed. what script kiddies do is they scan entire ip ranges for machines that have ssh installed and then try repeatedly to bruteforce the username/password. [03:26] usser, whatever 'it' is [03:26] bsmith_, if your password is not strong enough chances are it'll be hacked in a matter of days [03:27] infinityxi [03:27] racecar56, again im not sure what the problem was, did you install drivers from nvidia site for your card. what didnt work? [03:27] hey guys, I am encountering alot of lag...and according to the forums that would point to my video driver. However, I am only using a generic onboard with an intel chipset. Does anyone have any suggestions? [03:28] usser, drivers came from hardware drivers (a.k.a. jockey(-gtk)) [03:28] usser, the ones from nvidia site always make xorg freak out [03:28] usser, i must at least have support for dx4 to dx6 [03:29] hello, I lost my eth0, not showing up in ifconfig. wireless works. could use some help [03:29] usser, and opengl 2.x, i believe 1.x support isn't needed for me but the more the merrier :) [03:29] racecar56, get radeon 9800, dont bother with ati drivers just use opensource ones [03:29] usser, you shure the opensource one is AVAILIBLE for a 9800? [03:29] i wrote a shell script and added the location to a item in the menu launcher. its not starting correctly.. any ideas? the launcher command is: /bin/bash /home/Kalisto/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Ventrilo/vent.sh [03:29] racecar56, opengl and directx are bacwards compatible [03:30] hey is this the place to ask for newb help? [03:30] usser, btw im on the opensource driver with a 9200SE at the moment, this thing is cheeeaaaaaaaaaaapppppp [03:30] racecar56, im absolutely positive [03:30] i made sure to do chmod +x on vent.sh but no luck [03:30] usser, but better than my builtin :P [03:30] usser, okay so get 9800, right? [03:30] usser, also this must work for winblows too [03:30] racecar56, if you have opengl 2.0 you have opengl 1.0 and directx you wont get on linux anyhow [03:30] racecar56, it does [03:30] usser, k === floopsie is now known as Floops [03:30] usser, yaay [03:30] usser, but it better not lag blockland :( [03:30] racecar56, i have radeon 9800 myself [03:31] usser, kk [03:31] usser: I'm sorry i got booted. [03:31] usser, maybe you could test blockland for me and see how it works on your side? [03:31] i am myself [03:31] bsmith_, if you have ssh server installed. what script kiddies do is they scan entire ip ranges for machines that have ssh installed and then try repeatedly to bruteforce the username/password. [03:31] myself, lol [03:31] bsmith_, if your password is not strong enough chances are it'll be hacked in a matter of days [03:31] hey guys im trying to install some new software from getdeb.net and none of the jaunty software works on my jaunty ubuntu install. anyone have tips? [03:31] hello, i am using jaunty and i am having trouble getting a port to "open" when i run a game server...the port is forwarded correctly through my router and the port is visible as "closed" from the internet, i need it open so ppl can connect...can someone help? [03:31] myself, maybe you should try being yourself NOT on irc [03:31] Johnathan, you have i386 and you picked i386, correct? [03:32] usser: thanks, can passwords consist of numbers, letters (upper and lower case), and symbols? [03:32] usser i'm myself a lot. [03:32] nope it says jaunty software so I picked that [03:32] Johnathan, 'picked i386' = told getdeb that you ran i386 a.k.a. x86 [03:32] hey guys, I am encountering alot of lag...and according to the forums that would point to my video driver. However, I am only using a generic onboard with an intel chipset. Does anyone have any suggestions? [03:32] naw I said I had 32bit jaunty [03:33] bsmith_, passwords should be alfanumeric at least 6 simbols, with at least one special character like ! they should be mixed case too [03:33] im having trouble installing phpmyadmin, its says it cant connect to mysqli ,does any one knows how to fix this? [03:33] * evil3_ What is the best video capture i can install? [03:33] What is the best video capture i can install? [03:33] usser: excellent, is it easy to change the password? [03:34] bsmith_, changing passwords is as easy as typing passwd on the terminal [03:34] usser: so the password to ubuntu is also the password to ddclient, and dyndsn.com? [03:35] usser, if you want to see if blockland works on your side the site is www.blockland.us (btw it's winblows, so you either should use winblows OR at your own risk use wine, which the current version of blockland is a disgrace with wine) [03:35] bsmith_, no, the password for ddclient is whatever you set when you setup your hostname [03:35] hey racecar can I talk to you in private chat? [03:35] Johnathan, shure [03:35] usser: which is the password that I should be most concerned about? [03:35] hello, i am using jaunty and i am having trouble getting a port to "open" when i run a game server...the port is forwarded correctly through my router and the port is visible as "closed" from the internet, i need it open so ppl can connect...can someone help? [03:35] bsmith_, both :) [03:36] hello, so how do i install a wired network card in my laptop? how do I get ubuntu to load the drivers for it? [03:36] usser: ddclient and dyndns? [03:36] bsmith_, ddclient is dyndns [03:37] poboy975, lspci will help you find what it is possible [03:37] poboy975, lspci will help you find what it is possibly [03:37] bsmith_, ddclient is a program that monitors your current ip address and reports to dyndns so it updates its records so your hostname points to the correct ip [03:37] usser: ah now it makes sense. but I should really update them both [03:37] hi === vincent is now known as Guest28658 [03:38] hi [03:38] lspci shows me the card, but its not in ifconfig [03:38] hey guys, I am encountering alot of lag...and according to the forums that would point to my video driver. However, I am only using a generic onboard with an intel chipset. Does anyone have any suggestions? [03:38] usser: with ddclient do I have to remember the new ip if I want to access it, or do I just remember my hostname? [03:40] can someone tell me how to troubleshoot why my screen keeps blanking? (as if it's going into powersave mode) [03:41] using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS im having an issue with programs stil showing on application menu even after i uninstalled them using synaptic the programs im wanting to be rid of are wine & Vlc [03:41] hello, i am using jaunty and i am having trouble getting a port to "open" when i run a game server...the port is forwarded correctly through my router and the port is visible as "closed" from the internet, i need it open so ppl can connect...can someone help? [03:42] robin87: Are you connecting to the internet via DSL? [03:42] Flare-Laptop, yes [03:43] Flare-Laptop, well, DSL via a router [03:43] robin87: Then, its your DSL Modem that is the problem. You need to setup your DSL modem to where it will also port forward the ports [03:43] * Flare-Laptop knows from Experience [03:44] Flare-Laptop, the ports are already forwarded [03:44] robin87: On both the router and the modem? [03:44] the game isn't launch? [03:44] Flare-Laptop, the router and modem are the same box [03:44] Oh [03:44] nvm then [03:45] hey guys, I am encountering alot of lag...and according to the forums that would point to my video driver. However, I am only using a generic onboard with an intel chipset. Does anyone have any suggestions? [03:45] Guest28658, the game is launched, yes [03:45] Flare-Laptop, can you give me a hand to find out what I'm overlooking for this video issue? I have an nvidia card, and if I use the releases from Ubuntu, it locks up my laptop [03:45] * wandering prods the room [03:45] Flannel, are you here today? [03:45] I would prefer not to continue c/p'ing that every 5 minutes if anyone actually has any ideas :/ [03:46] hello, i am using jaunty and i am having trouble getting a port to "open" when i run a game server...the port is forwarded correctly through my router and the port is visible as "closed" from the internet, i need it open so ppl can connect...can someone help? [03:46] anyone help with ssh tunneling ? [03:46] so you don't have forward the good ports? or your game listen only on localhost? [03:46] robin87: Your ISP might be blocking the port. What number? [03:46] closed port meens the ports is forward, but nothing is listening.. [03:47] hi [03:47] dr34mc0d3r: Yeah I can help. What specifically are you trying to do? [03:47] Guest28658, the ports are forwarded fine...the game doesn't appear to be listening...the port is 27960, it shouldnt be blocked, i have a business ISP that states they dont block ANY ports [03:48] edbian i have 2 boxes - one is my ssh server and the other is my desktop - both ubuntu 8.10 [03:48] dr34mc0d3r: yeah... [03:48] if i do, netstat -an | grep LISTEN the port doesnt even appear [03:48] edbian on my desktop i issue ssh -v -N -L 8181:localhost:80 chris@2advent.com -p 60122 [03:48] hey fellas. Can anyone tell me where I can get the default XML for obmenu in openbox [03:49] I messed it u [03:49] up [03:49] and then i modify Firefox to use this proxy [03:49] I can't find linux-image 686 for my pentium 4. what's happening? [03:49] ssh -v -N -L 8181:localhost:80 chris@2advent.com -p 60122 but Firefox just returns a blank page when requesting a web address [03:49] So, I'm trying to edit my display properties and I get an error about RANDR not being present. [03:49] dr34mc0d3r: Please start your posts with my name I'll miss them otherwise (cause of my colors) [03:50] howdy, im running jaunty, and my wireless won't connect at all. network manager picks up my network but it just keeps asking me for the wpa key. i couldnt enter the damn key 100 times perfectly correctly but it still prompts for it. Do the support-givers have any clues? [03:50] I do the whole thing VNC BTW. [03:51] edbian ok - in my terminal window to the ssh server it states channel 2: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused [03:51] brandon, im not sure of this, but did you use the right format? for example, it perhaps only supports entering in hex format, and you probably entered the ascii/passphrase stringg [03:51] how can I automatically change my display settings? I like using 1280x1024 or 1280x768, but I can't use either of them since I "upgraded" to 9.04...any thoughts? [03:51] I'm having trouble with xrandr [03:51] dr34mc0d3r: Why are you trying to ssh into localhost? Are you trying to change ports or something? [03:52] edbian, i'm running jaunty, i 've just installed Vuze from apt, but it is version 3, i want to upgrade to ver4, Vuze client downloaded a jar for me, how do i install it? [03:52] i have installed a Host Based IDS in my Linux. But, i would like to test my security. How can I do it then? [03:52] artzymama, apperently I am too. [03:52] xiaoran:NO idea buddy [03:52] xiaoran:.jar is a java file [03:53] edbian - im trying to hide my port 80 browsing from the network admin [03:53] ccfontes: i def didn't enter the passphrase. i never made one. [03:53] edbian,yeah, there is no executable file whne i unjar it [03:53] brandon, then you just made an hex key? [03:54] xiaoran: .jar is executable? I think? Honestly dude no idea. [03:54] xiaoran: Maybe try googling how to install .jar in ubuntu [03:54] Xiaoran: look at this: http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/javatips/jw-javatip127.html [03:54] thank you guys [03:54] ccfontes: i use the key that the (isp?) gave me [03:54] hi, i hope someone can help. i have antecedently removed my start icon in the netbook remix. is there anyway too get this icon back to the launcher? [03:54] ccfontes: i dual boot with windows and the key works fine for it [03:54] You dont install a .jar you tell java to run the jar [03:55] brandon, just to be sure. the key you entered cant have literals higher than "F" in hex mode [03:55] I am having a problem with my laptop not saving my volume settings [03:55] how does ubuntu save current volume settings [03:55] I need assistance with xrandr...I like resolutions 1280x1024 and/or 1280x768, but I can't use either of them since I "upgraded" to 9.04...any thoughts? [03:55] brandon, please confirm if you have those literals before making conclusions [03:55] Anyone have any RANDR ideas? [03:55] is there a way to find out when I last updated [03:55] java -Xmx128M -jar FreeCol.jar (for example) [03:56] ccfontes: im going to get on to my wireless router and check it out [03:56] brandon, we can also confirm this if you say how many characters it has [03:56] ok, check it [03:57] hi, i hope someone can help. I accidentally removed my start icon in the netbook remix (9.04). is there anyway too get this icon back to the launcher? [03:57] i thought i installed firefox 3.5 from synaptic but im not sure how to launch it. does anyone know? [03:57] lancerocke: What version of Ubuntu are you running? [03:58] ccfontes: kind of embarrasing. its not a wpa key, its a wep64 bit key [03:58] Flannel, the l8st [03:58] lancerocke: Applications -> Internet -> Shiretoko Web Browser [03:58] ccfontes: 10 characters [03:58] lancerocke: 9.04 doesn't include firefox 3.5, unless you've added additional repositories. Are you talking about Karmic Koala? the alpha? [03:58] theyeti, thanks [03:58] is there a way to find out when I last updated [03:59] Flannel, i guess so. i just launched it [04:00] ccfontes, the key works fine when i boot in windows, and network manager does pick up my network [04:00] brandon, that has to be wpa [04:00] oops [04:00] Flannel: Actually, it does include 3.5 in the repositories. firefox-3.5 in the repositories from the universe repository [04:00] brandon, has to be passphrase if wpa [04:00] Hey guys, my firefox stopped working since I installed the latest updates. I googled the thing and got to a blog with this code to solve the problem: "sudo xulrunner-1.9 --register-global". Is the code OK? Would that code harm my system? [04:00] brandon, Im sure wpa doesnt have only 10 characters in hex representation [04:00] thanks again guys. [04:01] uhhh quick question. does anyone use emerald and the old emerald themes anymore or...? [04:01] ccfontes, yeah sorry man its not a wpa key its wep64 bit key [04:01] BobPenguin - what exactly happened? [04:01] BobPenguin: it may be something in your ~/.mozilla/ [04:01] brandon, network manager may not accept that you enter that if it is passphrase. again, confirm if it has literals higher than "F" please [04:01] hi [04:01] ha! [04:01] does rsync have the option [04:01] of [04:01] BobPenguin: or maybe ~/.mozilla/firefox/ [04:01] compression [04:02] recursion, my firefox says "Could not find compatible GRE between version 1.9.0.1 and 1.9.0.*." when I try to start it up [04:02] brandon, wep 64 in hex representation is 10 characters. you are in hex repr [04:02] I can't seem to manually add gnome panel applets [04:02] ggg: rsync -z [04:02] ah, okay. Different them mine. [04:02] rsync -z?? [04:02] ggg: yes [04:02] I do every step the website says but when I go to 'add to panel' it's never there [04:02] Which reminds me. Anyone have any RANDR help? [04:02] hello, i am using jaunty and i am having trouble getting a port to "open" when i run a game server...the port is forwarded correctly through my router and the port is visible as "closed" from the internet, i need it open so ppl can connect...can someone help? [04:03] brandon, then the opposite may be happening. your network manager may not accept hex repr by default. convert it to ascii/passphrase and then try [04:03] robin87: how are you opening the port? [04:03] robin87: which port? [04:03] ccfontes: ok, so just convert my wireless routers encryption to ascii/passphrase? [04:04] can rsync backup a 80GB partition into 4GB? [04:04] recursion, just by running the server..? 27960 is port [04:04] or below 4GB? [04:04] brandon, im so sorry, I mistake, what you have is passphrase or ascii.. very sorry. im a little sleepy now [04:04] ggg: it depends on the data, but that level of compression seems rather unlikely [04:04] how do I find out why my screen keeps flickering (ie. going into sleep mode) [04:04] [04:04] hola.Tengo problems with the image of my screen in ubuntu. My video card is onboard. The photos are blue for example. In xp there is no such problem [04:04] robin87: You need to go into your router, and forward the port. [04:04] brandon, 10 characters in wep 64 is for sure in passphrase. im sure of this [04:05] yes,i think rsync does not have any compression [04:05] brandon, hold on. ill give you something [04:05] i did this rsync -avpoglr --delete --delete-excluded --exclude-from=./excludes / /media/disk-1/rsync.0 [04:05] brandon, http://centricle.com/tools/ascii-hex/ [04:05] Ok guys, I runned the code "sudo xulrunner-1.9 --register-global" and my firefox works now. I just hope the code does not harm my system in any way [04:06] brandon, after converting, take of the "%" [04:06] ccfontes, can you give me a hand with this nvida video issues [04:06] recursion, i have already forwarded the port, the port would be stealthed otherwise...the traffic is reaching the OS...i think it is a problem with security in the OS, not letting the server "listen" [04:06] ggg: it does have compression, but I think the compression with -z is for compression during transfer [04:06] Hi, How can i log into ubuntu without it asking for password for all my account's? [04:07] ok,i am trying with rsync -z [04:07] robin87: how do you know it's reaching the OS? [04:07] recursion, i have a port forwarded in the same way for my torrent client and that works fine [04:07] robin87: okay... [04:07] i'm trying to backup with rsync [04:07] in local pc [04:07] jeeves, all of a sudden I dont know. tried google? most people wouldnt know, because they would have to know that "flickering" word exists ;) [04:07] Hi, How can i log into ubuntu like i logged into to windows (in windows you just click on your account and simply log in) [04:07] ccfontes: so, im kinda blank as to what to do with the number i now have [04:07] Krine11: you are aware that that is unsafe, right? [04:07] recursion, because the port shows as "closed" when the OS is running, and "stealth" when the PC is off [04:07] How is this unsafe? [04:08] brandon, use it has the key in the network manager? [04:08] Krine11: other people can access your account without knowing the password [04:08] I trust the people who use the computer. [04:08] ccfontes; yeah lol sorry [04:08] Krine11: You can set up ubuntu so you don't actually have to log in at all (auto login) it is considered unsafe because anyone can walk up to your computer and log in. Would you like to know how to set it up? [04:08] robin87:try out http://www.canyouseeme.org/ [04:08] #ubuntu-es [04:08] ccfontes, yes, I've checked google. hence why I'm here asking what I should be looking for [04:08] robin87:what does it say? [04:08] yes cause my parents and my little 10 year old brother will only use it [04:09] jeeves, sorry man.. doesnt occur anything to me [04:09] i have my own sepearte laptop [04:09] Krine11: they can use the guest account or you can create accounts for them.. that way your data and setup won't change [04:09] !webmin [04:09] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [04:09] no seperate accounts are better [04:09] recursion, Error: I could not see your service on 78.32.193.174 on port (27960) Reason: Connection refused [04:09] because my brother basiclly has loads of documents saved and my dad saved most of his office work [04:09] Krine11: Do you want to setup auto login?? [04:09] so, anyone knows why I cant find any linux-image-x-686 for my pentium 4 in the repositories? [04:09] recursion, it appears the server isnt "listening" [04:09] no [04:09] Question: I am new to ubuntu, how do I change my resolution? [04:09] please look at this image [04:10] robin87: there you go. Has nothing to do woth the OS. [04:10] ccfontes, basically, the screen is going into power save mode (the blacklight turns off), then when I move the mouse, etc, it turns on again [04:10] http://www.pcguide.com/byop/diagrams/figure150.png >> this is how you log into windows [04:10] ccfontes: isn't linux-image-x-686 [04:10] debian only? [04:10] Lounge, then what it is? [04:10] Krine11: Thanks for that ha ha ha [04:10] robin87: the server doesnt even need to listen. it should at least it the router. [04:10] i want to log in like that [04:10] simply by clicking on the account [04:10] recursion, so it is a problem with the server itself? [04:10] anyone have XRANDR help? [04:11] robin87: no, the port forwarding, I believe. [04:11] is there a way to change resolution? [04:11] jeeves, yeah.. something like that happened once in a while, while switching from tetty to X. but I dont remember how I solved. maybe just restarted X [04:11] Krine11: Then install windows XP [04:11] ? [04:11] recursion, but the port forwarding is fine...my router stealths all ports that aren't forwarded [04:11] edbian [04:12] why you telling me this nonsense [04:12] i am not going to windows agan [04:12] again* [04:12] Krine11: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:12] .... [04:12] i basiclly just used a screenshot captured by someone.. [04:12] JesusCake[BoT]: try system > preferences > screen resolution [04:12] Krine11: Alright alright, that was rude, you're right. I don't know of a way to get GDM (or any DM) to get a setup like that. [04:13] robin87:Well, all I know is that website can't see it. [04:13] ok.. [04:13] hi all, I'm running eeeubuntu on a 1000HE and I'm trying to watch a DVD using VLC player and the Asus slimline USB dvd and I'm not getting any video or audio only broken video which is mostly digital noise with some recognizable video every once in a while. Any ideas? [04:13] ccfontes, I know when I install the nvidia drivers (the offical release), I get a flickering screen, video glitches, white bars across the width of my screen, etc [04:13] Krine11: Sorry bud. [04:13] JesusCake[BoT], there is. are you using ubuntu? then that desktop has its system tools to change it. search in the settings category [04:13] it is ok [04:13] just wanted to fix it [04:13] ccfontes: pentium 4 would be 2.6.28-11-generic === theyeti_ is now known as theyeti [04:14] ccfontes, what's the newest desktop release? [04:14] Robin87:sorry I cant help more. [04:15] recursion, ok, thank you [04:15] woo hoo [04:15] it worked [04:15] thanks buddy [04:15] So... RANDR? Nobody? :( [04:15] but i do not think it is supposed to be doing what it is doing now [04:15] Lounge, Supports Generic processors, it says. so what happened to 686? xD [04:16] recursion: you may need to try a more specific question [04:16] Hello; I am planning to install a new graphics card alongside my integrated graphics card (Nvidia, but that should be out of the question—I think). Will the two graphics cards (and their attached monitors) work as expected? I am using Ubuntu Jaunty [04:16] In my error Log, I have "xlib: extension randr missing on display 1" [04:16] It's really messing with my desktop when I VNC in. [04:17] recursion: in which version of ubuntu? [04:17] Firefox is a mess. Cant change display settings. [04:17] i am having a problem ehre. [04:17] So to install software from getdeb I have to install tons of different packages? [04:17] lstarnes: Jaunty [04:18] Hello? [04:18] mib_1mfkl577: Hi [04:18] andresj: As long as you don't get any conflicts between the onboard card and the integrated they should be fine. especially if they are both nvidia and you install the drivers [04:19] theyeti: what kind of conflicts? that is what im worried about. [04:19] recursion: I'm not sure which packages would provide that extension [04:19] I'm relatively sure it's installed. [04:19] Question, I did an iptables port forward of port 5190 to port 16667, how do i remove that iptables rule? [04:19] JeanLucPicard: what command did you use to set it? [04:20] JesusCake[BoT], im sure everyone in the world stopped guessing what your problem is now :p [04:20] JeanLucPicard: if it had a -A in it, replace that -A with -D [04:20] JeanLucPicard: sudo iptables -D [04:20] lstarnes one sec :) [04:20] JeanLucPicard: -A is for apped -D if for delete [04:20] andresj: I was thinking more along the lines of BIOS conflicts [04:20] append* [04:20] I'm seriously new with Unbuntu and Linux. I tried to install http://cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php#ubuntu, how do you run CineRella? (or build it?) [04:20] is jaunty the worst ubuntu version? [04:20] Can somone help me once again? [04:20] theyeti: hum... idk what you mean—i'm not big on hardware :P [04:21] This is what my screen looks like: http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=c69dfdf837&view=att&th=121dcc71490616c9&attid=0.1&disp=inline&zw [04:21] Johnathan: I would say 5.04 was [04:21] Johnathan: It got rave reviews. I think it is one of the best [04:21] iptables -t nat -D PREROUTING -p tcp --destination-port 5190 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 16667 [04:21] that worked, thanks. [04:21] I'm seriously new with Unbuntu and Linux. I tried to install http://cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php#ubuntu, how do you run CineRella? (or build it?) [04:21] lstarnes: have you heard of Xinerama? [04:21] I'm trying to get IMSpector to work, but it's a no-go. [04:21] ed, I cant seem to install any new software from get deb [04:21] recursion: yes, but I know little about it [04:21] does everyone have to install 50 libraries just tareo install softw [04:21] Johnathan: it depends on the program [04:21] lstarnes: do you know how to disable it? [04:21] JesusCake[BoT]: Your screen looks like google mail? [04:21] recursion: I don't think so [04:22] hold on [04:22] lstarnes: that worked - thanks! :) [04:22] JesusCake[BoT] Try using something like tinypic or something or moving the picture to a picassa album. Not in your gmail account [04:22] that makes sense, but I get the same error on all installs [04:22] lstarnes: dang nabbit. [04:22] JesusCake[BoT], man, I dont believe what you just did.. you paste a link from inside your e-mail? how are people supposed to know your password? [04:22] Oh yea, this picture is password protected. What is the password? [04:22] Johnathan: I don't get dependency errors at all when I install software. What are you trying to install?? [04:22] Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libqt4-webkit (>= 4.5.0~+rc1) [04:22] uploading to photobucket [04:22] that is my error [04:23] Johnathan: what are you installing?

[04:24] those are windows [04:24] that wont leave the screen [04:24] they are frozen there [04:24] JesusCake[BoT], its completely lagged your desktop [04:24] I would say turn off desktop effects for starters. [04:25] its just wierd. the whole desktop background will not fill the entire screen [04:25] JesusCake[BoT], run top, look whats hanging it [04:25] this is a fresh install [04:25] JesusCake[BoT]: You changed your resolution right? Log out of ubuntu and log back in.

Any ideas? [04:25] yep, edbian is 120% right [04:25] k ill try a restart. but i have dual monitors, i took off the mirror hmm.. let me see [04:25] ill do updates first [04:26] ok, cya ppl -> gone [04:27] Nothing major in the updates Firefox 3.0.11, slight kernel change thats about it [04:30] ok im back [04:30] Johnathan: You can't install conky?

[04:32] im opening the files with Gdebi package installer [04:33] Johnathan: ok ok, If you install things from the repos it goes a lot easier. Do you know what I'm talking about?? [04:33] and no i dont, i have even get wine figured out [04:33] nope [04:33] haha [04:33] could you tell me? edbian? [04:33] Johnathan: you don't need to download and manually install your software [04:34] Johnathan: If you run System -> Admin -> Synaptic that is your window to the repos :) [04:34] OK, so I just placed a bad hd connected via USB and the syslog recognized it [04:34] Johnathan: there's an application called Add/Remove or Synaptic which you can use to search and install stuff [04:34] but how do I know which /dev it is? [04:34] ohhh neat [04:34] and it will do it a lot easier? [04:34] bootup: dmesg [04:34] Johnathan: very, very much easier [04:34] Thank you all!

[04:46] mubu install 64 bit becuase 32 bit limit is 4 gigs of system ram that includes your graphics card and cache too [04:46] i have a 600mhz 128mb ram inspiron 4000 dell [04:46] AgentBlair: it will be horrible [04:46] AgentBlair: Decently. I had it on an ancient laptop once (less ram than that) and under 1Ghz processor and I was watching you tube videos on it [04:47] hmm cool [04:47] AgentBlair: it'll run, but it will be horrible. Atleast use Xubuntu [04:47] AgentBlair: yes definitely use Xubuntu [04:47] i tried xubuntu [04:47] on live cd [04:47] took 30 minutes to load [04:47] or boot [04:47] AgentBlair: live cd is live cd [04:47] AgentBlair: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:47] AgentBlair: That is probably due to the 2x drive. Installing the OS should make it usable. [04:47] AgentBlair: you could try ubuntu minimal, and build up from there [04:47] Just reinstalled Ub9.04. Where is the website for initial steps. [04:47] seriously anyone i am trying to find the lib64asound2 packages for amd64 bit install of ubuntu 9.04 i can not find them in synaptic i have found them on the web repositories but it only shows them in i386 [04:47] alright [04:48] spursncowboys: The initial steps? Is it already installed? [04:48] i currently have puppylinux.... unfortunately it's half-installed and needs the CD to boot it up.... for some reason the harddrive won't accept the install [04:48] yeah. [04:48] but that's all I tried... just puppy linux, not ubuntu yet [04:48] clepto: why are you searching them instead of a program needing them pulling the dependencies? [04:49] clepto: is there software that complains about lack of them? [04:49] ok I tried sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator but I get resource tem unavail. why? [04:49] myrtti: becuase i am trying to get my onboard mic working. [04:49] edbian: I mean the website to do the initial customizations [04:49] could not get lock [04:49] mm [04:49] myrtti and someone recommended i installed them [04:49] puppylinux didnt take so long to boot from live-cd... problem is FLash 9 won't work on puppy, so I was hoping ubuntu it would work [04:49] hello [04:49] spursncowboys: oo, sorry I don't use any of them. I'm happy with ubuntu pretty much outta the box [04:49] ill try installing it... does it delete my puppy stuff though? [04:50] AgentBlair: If you tell it to [04:50] and if i don't it'll still install? [04:50] I installed Ubuntu using alternative install and CRYPT. So ubuntu always asks me for a password to load Ubuntu.. So is there a way I can remove the need to enter a password at login screen as I dont want it? [04:50] oh ok. Thanks [04:50] AgentBlair: IDK how big that HDD is but you can install along side puppy just fine if there is room. [04:50] how to change the hostname globally and permanently? [04:50] 30gb [04:50] is there a way to remove the need to enter a password at the login screen? [04:51] AgentBlair: Depending on how much personal stuff you have that's more than enough for 2 OS's [04:51] cook thank you [04:51] gaaaaaaaahhh I don't know what to do [04:51] Cry__Baby: Auto login in System -> Admin -> Login Screen [04:51] which live-cd is best? should I use xubuntu? to install it on my HDD [04:51] Login Windoww* [04:52] last question :p [04:52] edbian: ok brb [04:52] AgentBlair: Use the Xubuntu live Cd cause that's what you want to install. (THe best really depends on preference KDE vs. Gnome vs. XFCE) [04:52] I'm looking for a program similar to OpenOffice.org Base. Recommendations? [04:52] edbian: I dont have a System -> Admin -> Login Scree [04:52] ?? [04:52] edbian: System -> Admin -> Login Screen doesnt exist [04:52] Login Window? [04:53] yeah login window maybe?? [04:53] edbian: no [04:53] erpo, openoffice is very similar to openoffice base hehe [04:53] Cry__Baby: KDE? [04:53] edbian: are you a noob? cause under ADMIN, there is no such thing as "Login Screen".. Using 9.04, Ubuntu, gnome [04:53] voss: I'm looking for a graphical database builder that is not openoffice.org base. I'm not sure if that's the right term for that genre of product. [04:54] i have system -> admin -> login window [04:54] anyone else know how to disable the need to enter a password at login screen? I dont need it as I encrypted the whole filesystem using alternative install. [04:54] Cry__Baby: No I'm not a noob. I'm on debian right now and I thought I remembered a "login window" GUI tool there. in a terminal run "gksu gdmsetup" [04:54] It could be one has to install the gdm-theme config tool for the to appear. [04:55] erpo, the openoffice database program is not called base, there is actually a module called openoffice base which is not a database thing, you confused me thats all [04:55] Hello, I hate capitalism and microsoft so I want to switch to Linux Ubuntu. I have a netbook - HP mini 2133, but read that it is not usable with 9.04 because of weak VIA video card support. Any other alternatives? [04:55] !gdm [04:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about gdm [04:55] drwillins maybe cause im not logged in as admin? [04:55] im logged in as other added user [04:55] voss: On my system it's called Base. [04:55] edbian: maybe thats why [04:55] [04:55] voss: The title of the window open right now is: "bdb.odb - OpenOffice.org Base" [04:55] ? [04:55] Cry__Baby: YOU DONT login as the root user. :) [04:55] how to set co-founder on a channel. [04:56] voss: bdb.odb is a file I created to contain a database. [04:56] Cry__Baby: You should never have to log in as root (gui login that is) [04:56] Dr_Willis why then dont I see "Login Window" under ADMIN? [04:56] that menu item launches ---> gksu /usr/sbin/gdmsetup [04:56] yes [04:56] Cry__Baby: gksu gdmsetup [04:56] Cry__Baby: perhaps theres a gdm config package that needs to be installed [04:56] sudo apt-get install wine : thats how you get wine, correct? [04:56] edbian: im logged in as another user I added.. maybe thats why i dont see System -> Admin -> Login Screen [04:56] brb [04:56] Cry__Baby: Did you run the command? [04:56] Hello, I hate capitalism and microsoft so I want to switch to Linux Ubuntu. I have a netbook - HP mini 2133, but read that it is not usable with 9.04 because of weak VIA video card support. Any other alternatives? [04:56] Cry__Baby: thats NOT the reason. :) [04:57] Dr_Willis: You have Login Window right? [04:57] Julian__: Theres dozens of disrtos and several that target netbooks.. try them all. [04:57] I have a 'system -> administrion -> login window' icon that launches gdmsetup. it lets me tweak the gdm config stuff [04:57] edbian and Dr_Willis: Ahh I was right.. Login Window appears under ADMIN when I log into ubuntu using the main username I created when installing Ubuntu [04:58] Cry__Baby: Really? [04:58] edbian and Dr_Willis: but Login Window DEOS NOT appears under ADMIN when I log into ubuntu using this username I added after install [04:58] hi [04:58] edbian: really. yes [04:58] I see it under all my users. [04:58] can someone please help me with the sun-java installation.. I get an error and it won't install and my ubuntu is telling me about broken applications or something.. [04:58] Dr_Willis: You mean other than Ubuntu? [04:58] not that the others can run the tool since they dont have sudo rights [04:58] Cry__Baby: As do I [04:58] maybe cause you added privildges to all those users Dr_Willis? [04:58] Julian__: yes. theres several netbook specific variants [04:58] edbian: I didnt add all privs to this username [04:59] maybe thats why [04:59] Dr_ Willis: Of ubuntu, or other linux things? [04:59] Julian__: of all the above. :) [04:59] Cry__Baby: That's probably why. Anyway go to the security tab and turn on "auto login" it's pretty straight forward [04:59] Julian__: go try them out. see what you like. Depends on your needs. Ubuntu works great on my AceraspireOne [04:59] Dr_ Willis: I'll tyr 8.10, is it very different compared to 9.04? [04:59] edbian: so anyway, I login to the main username and then choose "Login Window" and then what I do? [05:00] Julian__: try it and see. i guess.. i dont keep notes on the changes. 9.04 works fine for me. [05:00] Cry__Baby: Go to the security tab and it's pretty straight forward [05:00] edbian: ok becaus I dont need it.. as I encrypted the whole filesystem using alternative install.. RIGHT? [05:00] Cry__Baby: whoa whoa === nicolas_ is now known as Guest9024 [05:00] julian, some differences , things work better, new splash screen, nothing extreme [05:00] encrypted filesystems - for the truely paranoid :) [05:01] Cry__Baby: If you turn this on people will be able to walk up to your computer and login without a password. That is the danger. Encryption will not protect you from what auto login exposes you to. [05:01] Dr_Willis: or to those who are required it [05:01] edbian: when I first load ubuntu, a message appears saying "sda_crypt, enter password"... so thats why I dont want login to ask me to enter a passwrd again [05:01] dr willis that is very true [05:01] Cry__Baby: OOOO [05:01] ic [05:01] edbian: you are wrong [05:01] Cry__Baby: I didn't understand before. [05:01] join #ubuntu-us-oh [05:01] Cry__Baby: You understand everything. I didn't temporarily. [05:01] edbian: When I first load ubuntu, a message appears saying "sda_crypt, enter password".. and unless you enter password, you dont proceed anywhere [05:02] Cry__Baby: Yeah, I get it. So yeah go ahead and turn off you account login [05:02] edbian: so they would need to crack my crypt password to get to the login page [05:02] edbian: yes :) [05:02] When I load ubuntu, it plays "Play that funky music white boy" Is that a bug? [05:02] hello. i have an almost off-topic licensing question: under the GNU GPL, you are allowed to compile a (GPL'd) dll of (modified) open-source code and use it in an otherwise proprietary app. is this correct? [05:02] where do the files for Ubuntu Live CD get placed? is it a RAMDrive? [05:02] voss: No it doesn't... [05:02] edbian: ever installed using alternative CD and encrypting the whole filesystem? [05:02] Cry__Baby: you can store the encryption key to one of your unencrypted partitions, or to a usb stick, but you cannot remove the encryption itself. I've not done it myself before, so I can't help, but there's some guides in the Internet [05:02] Cry__Baby: No but I do have a harddrive password on my laptop [05:02] Myrtti: what are you talking about? :P [05:02] anyone? [05:03] how ddoes getting programs via wine actually work? [05:03] voss: You didn't set it up that way? It just does? [05:03] Myrtti: i am only going to remove the login password and auto login.. as I dont need it.. When I first load ubuntu, a message appears saying "sda_crypt, enter password".. and unless you enter password, you dont proceed anywhere [05:03] edbian, Im just kidding :) [05:03] voss: Oh too bad :( [05:03] !wine | JesusCake[BoT]: [05:03] JesusCake[BoT]:: 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 [05:03] edbian, wouldnt that be the coolest thing ever? [05:04] Cry__Baby: correct. If you want to get rid of that as well, then you need to set up a keyfile to an unencrypted device [05:04] voss: Only if the developers put it in there ha ha ha [05:04] dont install WINE,. it makes your FAN go crazy [05:04] second attempt at asking question: under the GNU GPL, you are allowed to compile a (GPL'd) dll of (modified) open-source code and use it in an otherwise proprietary app. is this correct? anyone? [05:04] Myrtti: i dont want to get rid off the filesystem password., only the login password as its annyoing and not needed [05:04] frog93: none of us are lawyers and this isn't Ubuntu support [05:04] question you're asking [05:04] hmmm my firefox froze when i said set this picture as desktop background haha [05:05] Myrtti: even if I remove the login password, nobody can login anyway [05:05] frog93: That is my vague (and non-laywer) understanding of it yes. [05:05] brb [05:05] frog93: No, you're not allowed to do that. [05:05] frog93: try to study differences of LGPL and GPL. [05:05] frog93: ^ ^ ^ [05:06] have a question related to configuring a monitor settings [05:06] any help would be appreciated [05:06] yah i'll have to read those carefully again. thank you all. [05:06] !ask | kenitos [05:06] kenitos: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [05:06] my fucking firefox will not start :( [05:06] ok [05:06] language [05:06] We are now approaching the 6th hour of the partition resize! after Kubuntu decided to destroy my partition tables on 2 drives!

Ok. open up the gnome system monitor [05:08] using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS im having an issue with programs stil showing on application menu even after i uninstalled them using synaptic the programs im wanting to be rid of are wine & Vlc [05:08] kenitos: not that i have any idea how to help you, but may i ask what graphics driver you're using? [05:08] JesusCake[BoT]: you'll find it in system>administration>system monitor [05:08] where is that at [05:08] edbian, That should be the ubuntu theme song [05:08] kk [05:09] now what [05:09] go to the tab for processes [05:09] firefox is sleeping? [05:09] voss: !!!! [05:09] hit the tab for process name to make them alphabetical [05:09] voss: Def. [05:09] voss: keep the offtopic chatter elsewhere [05:09] and close every firefox you see [05:09] close them all :P [05:09] so kill the processes? [05:09] yes [05:10] when firefox doesn't end right, it sometimes gets stuck in the background and prevents more firefoxes from opening... dunno how it happens to be honest. anyway [05:10] anybody using ubuntu on an eee? [05:10] oh [05:10] when they're all closed, try firefox again [05:10] okay [05:10] so try again [05:10] graphics monitor from labtop or the desktop monitor [05:10] nothing [05:10] :( [05:10] any good recording progs out there [05:11] ?

[05:11] (it will close irc) [05:11] audio wave [05:11] !anything [05:11] So, you wanted to lure me into saying I don't know anything about anything? Yeah, that would be funny, of course. Now leave me alone. [05:11] razerblk: audacity [05:11] haha [05:11] that's awesome voss [05:12] http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ [05:12] voss: haha [05:12] !women [05:12] The women and men of the Ubuntu women project hang out in #ubuntu-women. Encouraging women to use linux? Read http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Encourage-Women-Linux-HOWTO/ for some suggestions compiled by women who use Linux on how to do so effectively. [05:12] rofl @ voss [05:12] где мне получить полную потдержку русского языка? [05:12] I have a somewhat low powered machine and I'm trying to find a version of Ubuntu for it. What would work? I tried 8.04 but it said it had a wrong processor. [05:12] Daenyathos: specs? [05:12] daen, what is the name of the machine [05:12] !everything [05:12] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [05:12] its working now [05:13] 2gigs memory, has 2.3ghz Intel celeron [05:13] JesusCake[BoT]: so somewhere it was still sleeping... hmm. [05:13] Dae, make sure you are using 32 bit ubuntu not 64 bit [05:13] how good is audacity compared to pro tools? [05:13] on behalf of ultramarin: is there a russian language ubuntu channel? [05:13] JesusCake[BoT]: that is inconvenient, and I have no clue how to fix it without re-logging in. but at least you have firefox again :D [05:13] yeah [05:13] can i get google chrome? [05:13] Hm... I feel i got the 64-bit version (used the CD from my own machine) [05:13] JesusCake[BoT]: errm. don't [05:14] JesusCake[BoT]: it's quite unstable [05:14] i love chrome though.. [05:14] razerblk: not sure, never got into pro tools; it's similar to CEP/Audition [05:14] i use it on windows [05:14] JesusCake[BoT]: hehe... we all do. try swiftfox [05:14] mykola: chrome is out in alpha? [05:14] Dae, 64 bit version wont work with older celerons. Just go get the 32 bit version [05:14] razerblk: Please put your question more specifically. For me, Audacity much better. [05:14] why doesnt it work on ubuntU? [05:14] razerblk: Please put your question more specifically. For me, Audacity is much better. [05:14] frog93: yeah, articles on slashdot say it is anyway [05:14] JesusCake[BoT]: lemme find the article [05:14] JesusCake: They are in development of a new version of Google Chrome for Linux, it should be released soon - its not out yet but there is a open version avalible for download that is quite unstable like they said [05:14] i've seen those but havent been able to find a download [05:15] I use 32 bit ubuntu with my quad core just because its supported better. [05:15] Thanks alot. I forgot about it. lol [05:15] ah i am totally familiar with with adobe audition ....thanks !!!!!!!! [05:15] http://tech.slashdot.org/story/09/06/05/0517231/Google-Announces-Chrome-For-Mac-and-Linux-Dev-Builds [05:15] Alright. Thank you very much for your help! Kudos! [05:15] so yeahj [05:15] If I run Ubuntu servers or anything like an air conditioner or something that uses lots of power in my apartment (we don't pay electricity) is there really any way for them to monitor energy usage per apartment? (We live in a big apartment) [05:15] not that i plan to install pre-rc chrome, but that's all vwery interesting [05:15] it will be cool when it comes out [05:16] according to google, it's hard to merge it well with all of the distros and desktop environments / window managers [05:16] Who would test Ekiga together with me? [05:16] oh okay [05:16] Hey everybody i'm trying to install the latest nvidia driver (185.18.14) on 9.04 x86 and always get an "unable to load kernel module" error. Does anyone know how to install this properly? [05:16] its probably the best browser I've ever used as a developer - the developer tools built into google chrome are outstanding [05:16] my labtop monitor is cracked, using a desktop monitor as replacement but sometimes screen still blacks out then comes back any ideas on how to get this fixed right [05:16] whiplash: how are you trying to install it? [05:16] supercom, its possible, [05:16] i ran NVIDIAxxx.run [05:16] after killing x === bruenig_ is now known as bruenig [05:17] whiplash: go into System>Administration>Hardware Drivers and use that. it will give you the latest stable w/ ubuntu [05:17] @ mykola: i hope its soon... i cant wait for it... firefox is like molasses on my eee... and i dont like opera and refuse to use epiphany or konquereor. lol [05:17] well i know about that one but this one seems much, much newer [05:17] and it's stable too [05:17] Google Chrome its like IE for linux...wait that doesnt sound so good ;-) [05:17] voss, O_O [05:17] no it doesent. lol [05:17] frog93: I found konquerer ok... try swiftfox, it's a fork of firefox with optimizations for linux. will work a little faster [05:18] frog93, you experience the same thing with your eee? [05:18] ty, mykola. googleing that right now. [05:18] anyone know how to install this? [05:18] mykola, doesn't do anything for the atom processor [05:18] mykola: do the firefox plugins work with swiftfox? [05:18] frog93, which model eeepc do you have? [05:18] aah... cabrey i think you're right [05:18] can anyone help me with some monitor settings [05:18] I dont like firefox either, what I find important in a browser is the most largest possible viewing space, and the fact that firefox dosent let me handle file downloads myself by default really just makes me angry [05:18] whiplash: did you go to that application? [05:19] frog93, chrome preview FLIES on the eee [05:19] 1000ha [05:19] atom [05:19] the .run file came straight from nvidia and it's much newer than the one in ubuntu [05:19] frog93, i have the 900ha [05:19] and for the record, the best web browser is links :) [05:19] mykola: which version? links? elinks? links2? xlinks? [05:19] whiplash, chmod +x file.run, sudo ./file.run [05:19] edbian: you here? [05:19] yeah why? [05:19] there's different versions? :D I must go try them all. [05:19] frog93, I use a Dell Mini 9 but I use Ubuntu netbook remix [05:19] mykola: yup [05:20] then theres lynx [different] [05:20] was going to say something witty about w3m fans... but now i must go try all the links's [05:20] hmmm [05:20] hmm? it runs and installs fine, the kernel module doesn't load, that's my problem [05:20] errm... links is basically rewritten lynx [05:20] how do i get one desktop background picture for each one of my screens [05:20] edbian: now ubuntu auto logins to one of my users.. good... but when I switch to main user and back to other, then ubuntu asks me to enter password.. any way to get rid of that too? [05:20] when i reboot [05:20] whiplash: that's odd... what hardware are you using? [05:20] 8800gt [05:20] cabrey: nice.do u use anything like almurato's scripts or the array kernel? [05:20] i have fairly standard hardware [05:20] Cry__Baby: gdm configs have a 'auto login as a specific user aftger X seconds setting' [05:20] Cry__Baby: What do you want to happen when you choose logout? === andrew_ is now known as Guest1538 [05:20] edbian: switching between users always asks me to enter password for "tommy". But I dont want tommy to ever be asked for password.. Any way? [05:21] can't help you :( you could try using modprobe to load it yourself. i can't give you instructions tho (would have to google it) [05:21] i read in some places that ubuntu's built-in driver interferes with this one, but i have no idea how to disable that [05:21] Cry__Baby: OOO. Quick switch? IDK I don't think so [05:21] frog93, i use the array kernel [05:21] frog93, and eee-applet [05:21] well thanks anyway [05:22] hello. I think I did something really dumb: I tried to create a symbolic link from all the files in one folder to another folder, ended up with an '*' and would like to know how to get rid of it: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2009-06-14 14:19 * -> ../../python2.6/site-packages/* [05:22] edbian: let me explain.. when I turn on Ubuntu, tommy loads without need to enter password.. Perfect, thats what I want.. But then in tommy session I switch to "crybaby" which is my main account and enter password. Good so far... but then when I switch back to tommy, im asked to enter password for tommy.. Any way of having tommy NEVER needed to enter password? [05:22] its acctuallt that you have to log in to a terminal and run the config from the terminal AFTER you login [05:22] if I use sudo rm * it will kill all the folders in there... right? [05:22] cabrey: any trouble with turning wireless on/off. do you end up having to use the pciehp_force boot options? [05:22] this is why the Nvidia settings do not save [05:22] after reading the wiki (in links) i have decided that links2 is the text html browser for me :D [05:23] chronographer, try moving it first then use rm \* [05:23] Cry__Baby: I don't know of a way :( [05:23] sorry dude [05:23] Dr_Willis: any ideas? [05:23] suod mv * ./this [05:23] ? [05:23] Cry__Baby: you could set a null password.. or just dont use that switching stuff... [05:23] Cry_baby: are you using GNOME? [05:23] chronographer, probably sudo mv \* file [05:23] Cry__Baby: i dont bothet with such insecure things. [05:23] edbian: i switch between tommy and crybaby all day long.. I dont want tommy needing a password.. any way? [05:23] Cry__Baby: set a short password. :) [05:23] frog93, wireless on/off has never worked, but i dont care [05:23] ah nice [05:24] Dr_Willis: is that why you had sex with that woman without a condom? LOL [05:24] phew. [05:24] Cry__Baby: Why do you want 2 users at all? [05:24] errm [05:24] does passwd allow you to enter a blank string? [05:24] Dr_Willis: you have ubuntu secure, but not your own penis lol [05:24] that could solve your problems [05:24] Now is it possible to use the python 2.6 libraries (like numeric) with 2.4 ? [05:24] Cry__Baby: please keep the offtopic and the random stuff elsewhere [05:24] Cry__Baby: i imagine the ops may be warning you soon.... [05:24] ;) [05:24] edbian: because the main user is used for netbanking etc.. the other is for general browsing. [05:24] my dvd player isnt working [05:24] it pays to heed the ops warnings [05:24] @cabrey. i've been really OCD-percetionist about that... spent countless hours trying to fix it. had to reinstall 3 times. don't recommend ever caring about it :-/ [05:25] (passwd will not let you change to a null password) [05:25] sorry I was only joking to Willis.. nothing meant [05:25] Cry__Baby: you can differentiate those with browser profiles [05:25] *perfectionist [05:25] i put a cd in and its not displaying cd on desktop [05:25] theres Secure, then theres paranoid.. and then theres Tinfoil hat paranoid. [05:25] is there a way to open cd [05:25] i doubt if that practice is making you any safer Cry__Baby [05:25] Cry__Baby: I think that if you want that added measure of security than you're going to have to deal with passwords [05:25] frog93, nothing will ever be perfect, but this release was fantastic. btw, do you have that trackpad mouse issue? [05:25] Myrtti: im worried using one account, because when I login to Netbank, im worried Ubuntu may be infected with something beause I visit every website known to man [05:25] I have decided to allow you all to see my amazing KDE default layout http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/3759/testpdw.jpg which I have been unable to fix simply because the text is TOO small and I cant read the files I have to edit to fix it [05:26] Dr_Willis: and then there's people who are required to encrypt their filesystem due to NDA [05:26] i think imma head bac onto windows to see if i can just do a vm of linux [05:26] Myrtti: so I have one main account, thats only used for netbanking. [05:26] exo232, ... [05:26] Dr_Willis: interestingly enough, Richard stallman distributed tinfoil at one of his speeches in order to cover the little magnetic tracking necklaces the venue handed out. Also, does anyone know anything about the program Bastille on ubuntu? [05:26] mykola: bastille was popular ages ago.. but ive not seen/heard much of it in ages.... [05:27] I know it's a network hardener... but i'm not quite sure what you accomplish with it [05:27] mykola: Tinfoil hat paranoid does suite him :) [05:27] ah. thx [05:27] Myrtti: know what I mean? [05:27] Cry__Baby: Ubuntu is very immune to most anything on the web (and by that I mean 100% of everything) [05:27] may some one help me, i dont know why but i cant read cds [05:27] Myrtti: you mean there may be a solution, using just one user? [05:27] edbian, it isnt immune to human error [05:27] Dr_Willis: the same man who is for abandoning passwords at his workstations :) because passwords close people off from sharing and building [05:27] cabrey: pretty isnt it? thats why when I installed Kubuntu it partitioned the wrong drive, because the INSTALLER had the very same text issue [05:28] making it impossible for me to see the drive name [05:28] Cry__Baby: try starting firefox with the command "firefox -ProfileManager" [05:28] edbian: so you mean I could visit every website in the world and still be able to use firefox for netbanking and not be worried? [05:28] Does anyone know the command that selects an ip on ubuntu that solves the "eth0 is not ready" problem on firestarter [05:28] mykola: we need the new ToungePrint1000 usb adaptors. [05:28] exo232, i use gnome and ubuntu's font rendering system is great [05:28] Hello there [05:28] Cry__Baby: I would [05:29] jeremiah. sudo mount /dev/cdrom /your/location/here [05:29] Cry__Baby: Linux is fundamentally more secure than windows [05:29] tell us what happens if it doesn't work [05:29] Myrtti: I just had any idea.. what if I use Opera for my netbanking and login to my credit card account, and use firefox for everything else? [05:29] Cry__Baby: Research it! Google is your friend [05:29] Cry__Baby: theres 1000000+ people that do it every day [05:29] Cry__Baby: one of the options [05:29] Dr_Willis: hehe [05:29] Cry__Baby: You could create two firefox sessions as well [05:29] Cry__Baby: thats doable also... [05:29] cabrey: yes I know i'm on it right now - Acctually im running a live CD right now to fix my partition tables, and its been going for 6 hours (yay Gnomtris) [05:29] Is there a way of converting a NTFS partition to EXT3 without data loss? [05:29] Cry__Baby: or get out the tinfoil hats. [05:29] supercom32, no [05:29] Cry__Baby, wow! i take of my hat sir. how ppl never thought of that before :) [05:29] supercom32: create an EXT3 of the same size and move the data :) [05:30] so how do I now merge the 2 users into the main one? [05:30] Does anyone know the command that selects an ip on ubuntu that solves the "eth0 is not ready" problem on firestarter [05:30] usser: thought of what? [05:30] supercom32: resize.. move stuff to the newly made ext3.... delete ntfs.. resize ext3 :) [05:30] hi [05:30] jeremiah_: did it work? [05:30] Cry__Baby, using two browsers [05:30] Dr_Willis, if there is data taking up more than half, that wont work [05:30] does anyone know of a good console/terminal based irc client? [05:30] Dr_Willis: implies that I have space on the same drive to do the moves. [05:30] cabrey: do it in several steps :) (and YES i have done it.. took ages) === usser is now known as mourice_mauss [05:31] Myrtti: you mean I can visit p0rn websites and every other type of website using firefox.. and still be able to safely use Opera to access my credit card website and bank website? [05:31] although I'm having a bit of a problem getting firefox to load the AdobeFlash player on the LiveCD lol i can either decode video OR audio [05:31] Dr_Willis, or no space at all [05:31] Cry__Baby: yes. [05:31] thats awkward [05:31] Cry_Baby: basically yeah [05:31] cabrey: delete all the porn? :) if your drive is full.. time to go buy a new drive.. or restore from backups. [05:31] Cry__Baby: just don't tell us what you're doing :P please [05:31] Myrtti: wow this will save me heaps of time, always switching between 2 users.. its annoying [05:31] Dr_Willis, tell supercom32 that not me :) [05:31] mykola: lol ;) [05:32] Myrtti: how do I now merge the 2 users, so I dont have to start again? [05:32] start what again exactly Cry__Baby ? [05:32] does anybody know of a way to stop my hdd spinning down? [05:32] cabrey: hmm? [05:33] it is incredibly annoying when music pauses for a second while the hdd spins back up [05:33] cabrey, hdparem? [05:33] Dr_Willis: i have tommy setup perfectly,,, but I am now only going to use crybaby user... how do i merge tommy to crybaby? [05:33] i use mpd btw [05:33] cabrey: can you live with it? [05:33] Cry__Baby, no lol [05:33] Cry__Baby: if by merge you mean COPY all settings from tommy to crybaby. use the cp command to copy all the users setting files to the other user.. then set the proper permissions on the files. [05:34] Myrtti: what exactly is firefox allowed to write to my HD? [05:34] Cry__Baby: whatever your user can [05:34] Cry__Baby: so if you start it as root... then everything [05:34] Dr_Willis: ouch, seems loike a lot of work :( Ill just remove tommy and start again [05:34] Cry__Baby: if you start it as crybaby... then it can only touch /home/crybaby [05:34] Cry__Baby: just copy over what you want from tommy (themes and whatnot... they should all be somewhere in tommys home) [05:35] Myrtti: shall I then login as crybaby and remove tommy? is that all I need do? [05:35] Cry__Baby: and set them up for crybaby [05:35] mykola: ok [05:35] mykola: do I then remove tommy from ADMIN/users? [05:35] Cry__Baby: i've never removed a user before... but that sounds right. [05:35] mykola: hehe ok :) [05:36] brb removing tommy boy :) [05:36] Anyone know how to start x programs inside a chrooted environment? [05:36] how do I totally remove a user? [05:36] hello folks. I want to enable scrolling on my touchpad. gsynaptics has the item checked. but it doesnt work [05:36] userdel -r username [05:36] that's what google pulled up anyway [05:36] would do a [05:36] man userdel first tho [05:36] mykola: can I do it through admin/users? [05:37] just open up a terminal and type [05:37] man userdel [05:37] then learn :P [05:37] brb [05:38] hello folks. I want to enable scrolling on my touchpad. gsynaptics has the item checked. but it doesnt work. Can anyone help? it used to work fine. [05:39] hi. I have a problem with mount flashdrives. error: cannot get volume.fstype.alternative. anybody can help me? [05:39] DnS what filesystem is on the usb drive? [05:40] Hey guys, how can i run a certain sudo command (wondershaper, to throttle and unthrottle a NIC) at a specific time, only once, not every day or week, etc? thanks [05:41] mykola, once I set fs ext3... and this is a reason of problem, I think. [05:42] DnS: ok... how many hard drives do you have (just want to know for the mount command... sda, sdb, etc) [05:44] DnS: should be "sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/nextharddriveinthelist /choose/a/mount/point" [05:44] mikola: actualy, problem with cerdreader.. ok< I will tey do it.. [05:44] DnS: i've got 2 hard drives... so if i wanted to manually mount a usb drive with ext3 to ~/tmp i would do "sudo man -t ext3 /dev/sdc ~/tmp" [05:44] DnS: actually... do whatever you think it is first :D I'm just guessing [05:45] DnS: i'm looking for more error output tbh [05:45] DnS: if it's a problem with the reader then that command will give you nothing [05:47] mykola, sudo man? don't you mean mount? [05:48] yeah [05:48] mount not man [05:48] cabrey: that was a mistype :P [05:48] got it right the first time (scrolls up) ^_^ [05:48] man would freak out [05:48] hehe [05:49] is the -t mount option 'file (T)ype'? [05:49] file system type [05:49] i was mixed up because i had "man mount" open just to make sure i was giving the right options :P [05:49] file system type, right [05:49] fat32 is vfat so i wanted to make sure ext3 wasn't silly that way [05:50] i read somewhere that ext4 will be in use next ubuntu ? [05:50] ext3 is like ext2 but with encryption? [05:50] ext3 has a journal [05:50] Procedured, yes it will be [05:50] what's a journal? [05:50] thanks [05:51] a backup, basically. so if you turn off your computer by the power switch it won't fubar everything [05:51] gum76, it logs everything that happens [05:51] ok, thanx [05:51] dont forget the logs!

[06:03] it is real UNIX [06:03] it's darwin... based on BSD [06:03] its also real UNIX [06:03] i guess since BSD is what unix has become... [06:03] it's certified [06:03] mykola, make u feel right at home my ass, file system is case insensitive by default [06:03] UNIX 03 certification [06:03] * Dr_Willis is certified [06:04] certified insane. [06:04] :) [06:04] mourice_mauss, that can be considered a plus [06:04] mourice_mauss: for what i was using it for @ my friends house, i didn't have to deal with filenames being uppercase. was just a python programming project :) [06:04] * cabrey is certifiable [06:04] cabrey, eh, no it cant [06:04] mourice_mauss, why not? [06:04] I am about to remove a user... what is the best way so as to make sure everything about that user, all their files etc is 100% removed? [06:04] i was thinking it was the apople os-x gui that was case insenestive.. bash on os-x is still case senestive and so forth. [06:04] no [06:05] Cry__Baby: its all in their home dir.. if thats gone its gone. [06:05] HFS is not case-sensitive by default, tho you can make it that way [06:05] i think unix and linux woill remain related [06:05] Mac OSX Leopard [06:05] is what i was refering to [06:05] Cry__Baby: everything about a user is in home [06:05] Admin/Users and groups.. if I remove a user through there,will it totally remove EVERYHING that user has, all their files, all their settings etc? [06:05] Self-contained apps > * [06:05] userdel -r username will [06:05] cabrey: i dont reall that on my imac - but last i used it was several years ago. its a doorstop now. [06:06] Dr_Willis: ahh ok.. so nothing they have is anywhere outsode of theur home? [06:06] Cry__Baby: that's how linux works :) [06:06] Cry__Baby: perahps some stuff in /tmp/ but proberly not much. thats one of the joys of linux. [06:06] so "sudo userdel -r username" will 100% delete them and their files etcc? [06:06] yes [06:06] Cry__Baby: try it and see [06:06] Cry__Baby: you worry too much about trivial things. [06:06] if not sudo rm -rf /home/user [06:06] Cry__Baby: unless you've been secretly using admin powers to change their personal files to thing in random directories... [06:06] Dr_Willis: every user has their own /tmp/ folder? [06:07] cabrey, no [06:07] Cry__Baby: users can put things in /tmp/ thats whats tmp is for. [06:07] cabrey, userdel removes references from other config files as well [06:07] joining [06:07] mykola, huh? [06:07] it didnt work [06:07] this is what happened: [06:07] userdel -r tommy [06:07] cabrey: then try deluser [06:07] userdel: unable to lock password file [06:07] Cry__Baby, have to superuser [06:07] a question with with xchat [06:07] mykola, what are you talking about? [06:07] Cry__Baby: are you currently logged in as tommy? [06:07] Cry__Baby, sudo userdel -r tommy [06:07] Cry__Baby: logic --> to do 'admin' type tasks one has to use root permissions. :) [06:08] !why my life sucks [06:08] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:08] if i connect to ubuntu server [06:08] mourice_mauss: so type "sudo userdel -r tommy"? [06:08] you must be logged out of tommy [06:08] Cry__Baby: rember that mantra. :) admin tasks -> gotta be root. [06:08] ok brb [06:08] mykola, not really [06:08] and any program running under tommy must be closed [06:08] which will be displayed [06:08] something like this "petsounds (n=Lennon@125.163.5.217) has joined #ubuntu" [06:08] mourice_mauss, just like you don't have to run AV on windows [06:08] may Ubuntu is solid :) my problem is that I am looking at Ubuntu from a windows persepetive and windows mind-set [06:08] sudo userdel -r tommy should work [06:09] man rather [06:09] here petsounds_ (n=Lennon@125.163.5.217) has joined #ubuntu [06:09] Cry__Baby, you're thinking of the registry aren't you [06:09] ggg: you can't hide it from the client [06:09] here where does "n=Lennon@" come from? [06:09] cabrey: im thinking a user has their files all over the place.. but its only in their home :) [06:09] ? [06:09] removing now. brb [06:10] ggg: hiding it is possible depending on the IRC network you're connecting to [06:10] Cry__Baby: magic, aint it? :) [06:10] ggg: it can be done in freenode, but probably not in many others. [06:10] !register > ggg [06:10] ggg, please see my private message [06:10] woohooo, I typed "sudo userdel -r tommy" and now tommy is no longer being displayed :) [06:10] <|unjustice|> Hi, I am trying to mount an external usb hard drive with this command sudo mount /dev/sde -a -t msdos /home/username/Desktop/folder but I cannot get it to mount, it says the device has "32" as a filesystem on it [06:10] !cloak > ggg [06:10] mykola: :) [06:10] <|unjustice|> does anyone know how I can write a fs to this thing? [06:11] |unjustice|: try sudo mount /dev/sde -a -t vfat /home/username/Desktop/folder [06:11] |unjustice|: its VERY likely you really mean to use /dev/sde1 not sde [06:11] so now I will use firefox for everything.. but use Opera for netbanking and login to my CC website.. is that safe? Opera safe for that? [06:11] |unjustice|: try sudo mount /dev/sde1 -a -t vfat /home/username/Desktop/folder heh [06:11] <|unjustice|> Dr_Willis: but there is no sde1 in /dev [06:11] |unjustice|: yes there is. [06:11] |unjustice|: yes there is. sde1 is the first partition of the 5th hard drive [06:12] |unjustice|: you some how parttiuoned the thing with an unusual partiion layout? try 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sde' and see [06:12] here "mailto:n=porphyri@d122-105-91-59.meb11.vic.optusnet.com.au" [06:12] hi [06:12] Cry__Baby: you worry about way too many things. :) [06:12] <|unjustice|> Dr_Willis: there is no partition [06:12] ggg: did you read the stuff ubottu gave you? [06:12] Cry__Baby: firefox will work for you :P [06:12] what is "porphyri@" ? [06:12] ggg: or what I said, for that matter? [06:12] Cry__Baby: you do realize that the way you were doing things earlier could also been done by just running the other browser as the other user. :) no need to do the swtching of users.. [06:12] is it the user account [06:12] ? [06:13] Does ubuntu create its own partition size? [06:13] Dr_Willis: not worry, precaution.. theres a difference. [06:13] |unjustice|: Dr_Willis: there is no partition (very zen statement) [06:13] Cry__Baby: paranoia. [06:13] Johnathan: you can specify it [06:13] Cry__Baby: you can also use different profiles for the same browser. [06:13] ggg: depends. [06:13] Dr_Willis: if everyine was precautious like me, there wouldnt be billions of dollars of fraud each year, cause nobody would be stung [06:13] Dr_Willis: no paranoid, precautious [06:13] Hello. Is here anyone playing World of Warcraft on ubuntu? (jaunty 9.04) -or knows how to install it. I've been trying to install it for quite some time now but been having problems. I hope this is the right place to ask such a question. [06:13] <|unjustice|> what should I use to parition? hdparm or something? [06:13] exo232: :) i noticed the ubuntu netbook remix image file also goes to the usb drive with NO XxX1 partiion. :) which really can confuse things [06:13] is there a way to change the partition size after install? [06:13] Dr_Willis: theres a difference.. nothing wrong with getting the most secure setup possible [06:14] Cry__Baby: remember our tinfoil hat conversation? ;) [06:14] Johnathan, use the live cd and gparted [06:14] you mean use the ubuntu install cd? [06:14] mykola: i rather talk about your sister ;) [06:14] I've been using the liveCD with Gparted for 6 hours and 15 mins thus far [06:14] Cry__Baby: you are using linux allready. :) anything else you are trying to do is like hireing a Little toy poodle to guard the Large rabid guard dog. :) [06:14] Could a very smart person help? :-P I am connected to my wireless network (86% strenght), and I can connect to anything, like, xchat, my games, AIM, YAhoo... But I can't browse web pages! When I was connected by ethernet cable (now im wifi) I could browse the web! [06:15] Johnathan, the live cd is required because the partitions you want to edit must not be mounted [06:15] Cry__Baby: you can have her... along with an FBI agent, she's 6 [06:15] what is live cd? [06:15] Dr_Willis: so there is no way at all that I can login to my bank website and be stung? [06:15] Hello. Is here anyone playing World of Warcraft on ubuntu? (jaunty 9.04) -or knows how to install it. I've been trying to install it for quite some time now but been having problems. I hope this is the right place to ask such a question. [06:15] mykola: thats ok, im only 7 :) [06:15] Johnathan, the ubuntu cd [06:15] ok thanks, brb guys [06:15] Johnathan: a live CD is a cd that you can boot an operating system from and run as if it were installed [06:15] Cry__Baby: your time would be better spent learning linux basics then trying odd security things that may or may not be any more secure then the defaults. [06:15] Cry__Baby: and you're doing online banking. I think you need a medal! or at least a cookie. [06:15] Johnathan: its the ubuntu install CD only instead of selecting "Install Ubuntu" you select "Try Ubuntu without any changes to your computer" [06:16] Dr_Willis: do you have a Doctorate, or you trying to impress? :) [06:16] Cry__Baby: ive not heard of any bank expoits in ages.. and those i recall all relied on IE bugs. [06:16] !liveccd [06:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about liveccd [06:16] lol [06:16] !livecd [06:16] The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. [06:16] then what do I do after I chose ubuntu without install? [06:16] <|unjustice|> Dr_Willis: how do I partition /dev to make /dev/sde1? [06:16] Cry__Baby: I got my Degree in Loveology.. I am the Dr of Live. [06:16] Cry__Baby: I got my Degree in Loveology.. I am the Dr of Love [06:16] Dr_Willis: yeah, IE bugs. eek [06:16] :) [06:16] <|unjustice|> Dr_Willis: I mean /dev/sde to /dev/sde1 and /dev/sde2 [06:16] Dr_Willis: :) [06:16] Hello. Is here anyone playing World of Warcraft on ubuntu? (jaunty 9.04) -or knows how to install it. I've been trying to install it for quite some time now but been having problems. I hope this is the right place to ask such a question. [06:16] brb [06:16] Johnathan: if you click on the "install" icon of the ubuntu live desktop, you will get a very nice installer to guide you through the steps [06:16] Johnathan, when it boots up to the desktop, run gparted [06:17] |unjustice|: normally you dont.. if fdisk -l shows no sde1 on the drive then you would mount /dev/sde not sde1 [06:17] ok [06:17] richj: the installer runs gparted for you [06:17] mykola, no he wants to resize [06:17] aah [06:17] nvm [06:17] nvm [06:17] mykola: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:17] mykola, yes it does, so? :) [06:17] haha mykola got banned [06:17] jooGoo I have successfully installed this software in the past using Wine - theres acctually a Youtube Instructional video [06:17] <|unjustice|> Dr_Willis: right, but /dev/sde1 does not exist [06:17] ok guys, I will see you soon [06:17] |unjustice|: optical disks normalkly are partioned that way :) you CAN partiion hard drives and usb drives that way.. but its odd. [06:17] !git > mobi-sheep [06:17] mobi-sheep, please see my private message [06:17] heh [06:17] *quiets down* [06:18] exo232: Hey, Could you provide me a link to this clip. Is this for The expansion sets also? [06:18] * cabrey peds FloodBot [06:18] <|unjustice|> Dr_Willis: I have partitioned ipods in that way to get rockbox on them, but I have not had to do this for a hard drive [06:18] pets* lol [06:18] stupid netbook keyboard [06:18] you damn foot fetishist [06:18] |unjustice|: I'm pretty sure that using /dev/sde1 will get you what you want. it will have a partition table on it (even though there's only one) [06:18] leave our fb girls alone [06:18] <|unjustice|> mykola: nope [06:19] JooGoo acctually what I did was Installed Wow on a windows machine, and then I copied the folder with pre-installed files and used "Wine" simply to launch it [06:19] nice [06:19] |unjustice|: then just try using /dev/sde and seeing what happens! :) [06:19] |unjustice|, what are you trying to do? [06:19] |unjustice|: last i noticed the 'feature' was when i dd'd the ubuntu netbook remix image to a flash drive.. its a 1gb image.. so it made a single partition (sdb) and no other partitions.. thus wasteing 7gb of my 8gb thumbdrive :0 [06:19] Does anyone know the command that selects an ip on ubuntu that solves the "eth0 is not ready" problem on firestarter [06:19] Can anyone help me figure why I can use my internet to chat with you, my friends, and play online games, but i cannot browse pages? [06:19] mount a usb drive with a wierd fs :P [06:20] Dr_Willis, you can restore that you know :P [06:20] Joogoo its on youtube though, im sure you can find it, unfortuantly I'm on LiveCD right now and I dont have AdobeFlash [06:20] |unjustice|: you can still mount the thing using /dev/sde not /dev/sde1 for example. [06:20] <|unjustice|> I did, it does not work [06:20] cabrey: i just used it to install then reformated it. :) [06:20] exo232: I've tried the same. Copied the Wow folder from my friends machine to a usb memory stick and then pasted it into my own hardrive. (programfiles/Worldofwarcraft -in wine folder) [06:20] |unjustice|: then you mayu be doing somthing else wrong. [06:20] taylor_, connection sharing? [06:20] !appdb | jooGoo [06:20] jooGoo: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [06:20] check there [06:20] <|unjustice|> it will not mount with /dev/sde or /dev/sde1 [06:21] what command are you running unjustice? [06:21] joogoo try eve-online instead [06:21] jooGoo, also what version of wine? [06:21] AAH [06:21] out seeya [06:21] eve online stole my christmas. it's incredibly addictive [06:21] cabrey: 1.0.1 [06:21] like crack [06:21] |unjustice|, what does fdisk -l show? [06:21] don't do it [06:21] jooGoo, thats a problem [06:21] <|unjustice|> richj: sde [06:21] |unjustice|: what file type? [06:21] cabrey: ah, should I update it for the development version? [06:21] jooGoo, that version of wine is ancient [06:21] fat32? ntfs? etc... [06:21] <[t0rc]> how can I start a process as a daemon from a shell? Or at least how can I run a program at the command line but not have it take over my shell? [06:22] |unjustice|, is this something i can replicate? [06:22] jooGoo, the 'unstable' version is pretty stable [06:22] [t0rc]: bash basics.. use the & at the end of the command. [06:22] cabrey: instaleld it via synaptic :P [06:22] <|unjustice|> mykola: I only get a fs when I type mount "32" which is not valid, hence the bad fs error [06:22] t0rc: & i think. like, conky& [06:22] [t0rc]: read up on bash job controll in the various bash docs/books/guides [06:22] jooGoo, http://www.winehq.org/download/deb [06:22] |unjustice|: try mount -t vfat /dev/sde /mountpointwherever [06:22] |unjustice|: whats the exact commandyou are using to mount? [06:23] [t0rc], & ampersand runs process in the background [06:23] hey all, i just purchased a seagate 1Terra usb drive, but ubuntu doesnt see it [06:23] cabrey: Thanks for the help. I'll check this out. You got the game working with the new version? -keep in mind thou that im relatively new user. So I've might been failing at some simple point [06:23] <|unjustice|> sudo mount /dev/sde -a -t msdos /home/username/Desktop/JDrive [06:23] [t0rc], try ls& [06:23] <|unjustice|> and vfat [06:23] moDumass: did you mount it? :) try mounting it via hand? [06:23] if i sudo fdisk -l it doesnt show [06:23] don't think msdos is a fileytype [06:23] jooGoo, no i dont play WoW but i know it works with newer versions [06:23] <|unjustice|> mykola: I tried vfat too [06:24] hmm [06:24] odd... [06:24] moDumass: if fdisk -l aint showing it.. then theres some bios/other issues going on [06:24] Dr_Willis, how would i manually mount it? [06:24] <|unjustice|> mykola: msdos was the instruction with the hard drive [06:24] jooGoo, http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14154 [06:24] moDumass: well unplug it and plug it in again [06:24] moDumass: when it is plugged in type: "dmesg | tail" [06:24] hey [06:24] moDumass: unplug/plug it in check the end of the 'dmesg' command output :) [06:24] msdos is a filetype [06:24] |unjustice|, can you repeat the problem / question. Are you trying to mount a new drive? [06:24] Dr_Willis: :-D [06:24] cabrey: Thanks alot. I'll try this out. If I encounter any problems I'll be back =) ...(hope no need for it) [06:24] you sure it's /dev/sde ? [06:25] do you reall have 4 other hard drives? :D [06:25] <|unjustice|> richj: I have a new hard drive, I am tryin to partition and put a filesytem on it, but I cannot mount it to add a fs [06:25] pimp [06:25] <|unjustice|> mykola: yes [06:25] nifty. [06:25] hm [06:25] |unjustice|: you normally partition it and format it.. BEfor you mount it.... [06:25] try lsusb [06:25] |unjustice|, you cant mount it before the partioning [06:25] see what happens [06:25] <|unjustice|> mykola: tis, this is actually a friend's [06:25] Dr_Willis, what am i looking for in the end of the message? [06:25] |unjustice|, you make the partitions BEFORE mounting it [06:25] just wanna see if it's detecting at all [06:25] |unjustice|: gparted should make that an easy task. [06:25] <|unjustice|> richj: I know [06:26] moDumass: mention of new usb devices gettting added. [06:26] <|unjustice|> richj: I need to know how to partition it [06:26] <|unjustice|> richj: hdparm? I did this last week and forgot it already [06:26] |unjustice|: wait... is there data on it? [06:26] |unjustice|, gparted is easy, or fisk to do it by hand [06:26] |unjustice|: use gparted, or the fdisk command.. [06:26] gparted [06:26] Dr_Willis, [1227863.381047] usb 1-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 18 [06:26] there's an easier fdisk [06:26] <|unjustice|> sudo fdisk...? [06:26] use gparted, fdisk is too hard! [06:26] moDumass: now about 10 sec later... try the command again and look see if it says some other stuff. [06:26] cfdisk instead [06:26] Dr_Willis, would that be it? [06:26] uses curses... easier :D [06:26] or gparted [06:27] |unjustice|: you may want to learn some basics on partitioning disks... [06:27] <|unjustice|> I have used fdisk to partition disks [06:27] |unjustice|, sudo fdisk /dev/sde [06:27] moDumass: if it succedes it will mention what device its set to be... [06:27] <|unjustice|> the fs is small enough that I will only need 2 [06:27] <|unjustice|> one being tiny [06:27] Dr_Willis, this is what its saying now [1227863.381047] usb 1-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 18 [06:27] oops sorry [06:27] Dr_Willis, this is what its saying now [1227958.486546] Inbound IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=01:00:5e:7f:ff:fa:00:0d:3a:c5:19:a1:08:00 SRC=192.168.1.8 DST=239.255.255.250 LEN=176 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=16331 PROTO=UDP SPT=1030 DPT=1900 LEN=156 [06:28] <|unjustice|> the total number of cylinders is 60801, I am not sure how many to put for this though [06:28] MAC and eth means its a network card saying that [06:28] Can anyone help me figure out why I can do everything online, except browse the web? [06:28] moDumass: pay attention to the messages. :) that one is about your network card.... [06:28] |unjustice|, where are you? [06:28] luisa: DNS? [06:28] I have a problem, whenever I turn on my computer the monitor starts flashing then whites out and I have to restart and it does it again, it has been happening for about 12 hours now, why is this happening it never happened in win2k? [06:28] |unjustice|: fdisk supports the use of sizes like +12G for 12gb :) and so forth. [06:29] |unjustice|: or use gparted. (i think this has been suggested like 10 times now) [06:29] Dr_Willis, ah, [1228052.273850] sd 11:0:0:0: [sdc] Result: hostbyte=DID_ERROR driverbyte=DRIVER_OK,SUGGEST_OK [06:29] [1228052.273863] end_request: I/O error, dev sdc, sector 0 [06:29] [1228052.273873] Buffer I/O error on device sdc, logical block 0 [06:29] Where do files go when u run the live CD? [06:29] <|unjustice|> wtf is gparted? [06:29] Zimm3r it might be fusion [06:29] exo232, ram [06:29] |unjustice|: a tool you should learn about. :) [06:29] luisa: try going to this in your browser 66.102.11.147 [06:29] Dr_Willis, although that doesnt mention usb [06:29] <|unjustice|> yeah, but how do I run it [06:30] luisa: if it works you need to add DNS settings to network config [06:30] <|unjustice|> gparted is not a recognized command [06:30] gksudo gparted [06:30] chronographer, doesn't load. Just says "Loading........." [06:30] sudo apt-get install gparted [06:30] luisa: th ip doesn't load? [06:30] moDumass: looks like its having some issues on the sde drive.. is there any data worth keeping on the drive? [06:30] chronographer, it doesn't. [06:30] well you not connected to the internet [06:30] Dr_Willis, what does this mean? reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 18 [06:30] can you see your router (use routers ip) [06:30] moDumass: its sendign a reset command to the usb device. [06:30] <|unjustice|> okay, here is where I stand [06:30] Dr_Willis, the USB? no its brand new, out of the box, pre formated to NTFS [06:30] chronographer, but, if I load a browser inside of a *game*, it loads it [06:31] <|unjustice|> I have no internet on the computer that this SATA drive is plugged in [06:31] a game? [06:31] chronographer, it took me to google [06:31] moDumass: you may want to use gparted to repartition/reformat it to whatever filesystem you want to use. [06:31] can you ping www.google.com [06:31] Dr_Willis, thanks [06:31] what game? [06:31] <|unjustice|> but I am in fdisk ready to create the two partitions necessary for the hard drive, but I don't know how big to make the primary partitions [06:31] remember people.. partiion, format. then mount. :) [06:31] the ip took you to google? [06:31] <|unjustice|> Dr_Willis: thanks [06:32] if i download something useing the add/remove built in app, where can i find the file, the source code not the executable ? [06:32] |unjustice|: depends on your needs.. how can we know if you dont? [06:32] lol [06:32] owner: apt-source ?? [06:32] yes [06:32] chronographer, ..... it was just epiphany... firefox works fine ! :O Thats too bad, I likED epiphany :P [06:33] Well guess my problem is fixed, ditch epiphany :P [06:33] Procedured: what is fusion? [06:33] owner: man apt-get gives "sudo apt-get source pkg " === evilgeek_ is now known as evilgeek [06:33] <|unjustice|> fuck you guys [06:33] luisa: epiphany should work if firefox works [06:33] anybody using Steam on linux... any idea how well it works ? [06:33] lovely [06:34] SandGorgon: it works.. :) barely [06:34] guys when i try sudo taskel install lamp-server i get couldnt find package taskel ! [06:34] Dr_Willis, I thought linux could read NTFS... but my ubuntu seems to be saying NTFS cant read it.. - did I lose that ability on upgrading distros? [06:34] SandGorgon: in wine it works ok. some games work [06:34] moDumass: i read ntfs all the time... [06:34] You are better of dual booting for games IMHO [06:34] moDumass: you wanting to use the thing for linux? or windows? try accessing it from windows if you want to use it in windows.. [06:34] moDumass, ntfs-3g [06:34] Dr_Willis, i do to, or I used to, I havent interacted with windows for a while [06:35] |unjustice|: sudo apt-get install gparted then go to system | admin | gparted and you have a GUI for partitions [06:35] moDumass: i found it best to ditch ntfs whenever possible, [06:35] richj, thats it, thanks [06:35] Hey guys im in 9.04 and after modifying and saving the sudoers file, whenever I run a command with sudo I get the following error: >>> sudoers file: syntax error, line 25 <<< [06:35] sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers near line 25 [06:35] chronographer: i think he left mad.... [06:35] moDumass: if you are keen I have started using LVM for my partitions!! [06:35] Dr_Willis: =) [06:35] chronographer: his loss i guess... [06:36] Dr_Willis, yeh but its a USB so i dont want to have to force all my windows friends into using ext3 just to get files of my hdd [06:36] moDumass: make it ntfs then [06:36] moDumass: its your drive :) do what you want. [06:36] you don't want a large HDD formatted with FAt, ntfs can be read by all OSs [06:36] moDumass: see if you an access it from windows.. it would suck to spend 3+_ hrs in linux trying to access a drive thats dead.... [06:36] What should I do? thanks [06:37] mubu: fiz the syntax [06:37] haha, will do Dr_Willis [06:37] *fix [06:37] mubu sounds like a syntax error near line 25 [06:37] lo [06:37] l === heywheresmypants is now known as runningwithsizzo [06:37] mubu, paste bin the file and ill have a look [06:37] !get |lucian_ [06:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about get [06:38] !get |lucian [06:38] richj thanks but I cant open it since i cant get sudo/admin privileges anymore.. I get that error whenever i run ANY command with sudo in it [06:38] !apt-get |lucian [06:38] lucian, please see my private message [06:39] mubu, boot into single user mode - so you automatically get root [06:39] How come there is no /dev/input/kbd device in Ubuntu? What is the equivalent? [06:39] mubu: You obviously didn't use visudo [06:39] mubu, you can then change the file back to the original [06:39] mubu: don't do that [06:39] cool, Dr_Willis I can see into the drive if I plug it into my nas, but the permissions are all over the show, so i can write if going through nas, or cant even see if going through ubuntu machine [06:39] Hi, I'm trying to install jaunty onto my nslu2, but oom keeps killing the detect disks stage. Any ideas? [06:39] flannel i used nano [06:39] richj how do i boot into single user mode? [06:39] mubu: And ignored the giant warning at the top of the file warning you to use visudo? [06:40] mubu: go to http://pastebin.com/ and paste the contents of your sudoers file [06:40] lol [06:40] mubu http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/grub-boot-into-single-user-mode/ [06:40] mubu: At the GRUB menu, choose "recovery console" [06:40] mubu although there may be a keyboard shortcut, f6? [06:40] why single user mode? [06:41] hello all - greets [06:41] chronographer: Because he can't sudo [06:41] not at all? [06:41] chronographer: Nope [06:41] oh i see!

[06:41] you could su - still right? need to set a root passwd [06:41] chronographer, No [06:42] chronographer, it is sudo su on an ubuntu box [06:42] oh yeah... "sudu su -" heh! oops [06:42] dont use sudo su :) or vafiants thereof.. it can cause .. issues. :) [06:42] well mubu: with great power... [06:42] 'sudo -s' is normally used [06:42] question - just installed qtparted on ubuntu hardy-heron and when I launch it I get an error message: Could not launch menu item. Failed to execute child process "qtparted-root" (No such file or directory) [06:42] Dr_Willis, in ubuntu, it does not exist, but if I brows to my nas, which has 2 ext3 drives and a usb port, and i plug the usb into the nas, then i can navigate to the usb, but cant write to it [06:42] im going to try and fix it in recovery mode [06:43] wish me luck guys!

[06:59] Cry__Baby: amazingly, yes [06:59] i love ubuntu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [06:59] * netyire scratches head [06:59] Nomad22, if ubuntu is running in a virtual machine, it doesnt have access to wireless internet, that should be configured by the host os [06:59] in ubuntu is there a way to take the image save it to you computer boot with a live cd and then have ubuntu read the file on the hard drive Only READ but right anything to a flash drive? [07:00] netyire: just one of those things :P [07:00] Nomad22 you want to have a seperate network for your Virtual Machine? or you want to share an internet connection [07:00] Nomad22, the internet connection will be through a simulated lan, i.e eth0 [07:00] moDumass: No idea on that. i normally just add the proper ntfs entries to my fstab by hand these days. sounds like somthing may be confuseing with that ntfs drive. [07:00] gotcha okay so itll be through an ethernet to the host os [07:00] netyire: my firefox is using 0.4% CPU now :P [07:00] Nomad22, yes [07:00] Hi guys I just fixed my sudoers file.

[07:06] iam using firefox [07:06] Cry__Baby, yeah i only use vlc and mplayer [07:06] thats the problem [07:06] mobi-sheep: behave :) [07:06] test [07:06] calvin, the flash implementation for linux is not as good as for windows [07:06] firefox 64 bits? [07:06] vlc isood pretty g [07:06] calvin: tried Opera? [07:06] not yet [07:06] will give it a shot now [07:06] Cry__Baby: Did you get two windows when opening VLC? [07:06] calvin: i use Opera and Firefox [07:06] firefox 64 bits works fine here [07:06] calvin, there is nothing you can do about it [07:07] i know richj just frustrated [07:07] calvin: good luck, hope opera works [07:07] after all these years [07:07] linux is making great progress [07:07] calvin: did you install flash properly? [07:07] i believe so.. [07:07] what ubuntu u guys use 64 or 32? [07:07] calvin, im using the 64bit alpha and even on a powerfull machine its bad [07:07] i dled it the tar [07:07] zzbe: Depends on our hardwares. [07:07] and followed instructions [07:07] its all macromedias fault [07:07] After this parition finishes resizing i'm gunna have to decide what distro to run [07:07] calvin: did you sudo apt-get install it? [07:07] gonna try opera right now [07:07] cry baby [07:07] i done both ways before [07:07] sudo apt get and manually installing it too [07:08] zzbe, i use 32bit on 32bit hw and 64bit on 64bit hardware [07:08] calvin: ok try opera [07:08] if u have 64 bit hardware what would you use? [07:08] i see [07:08] thx [07:08] 32bit browser zzbe [07:08] Cry__Baby, you are giving bad advice... its not a fixable problem [07:08] I want to run Kubuntu so bad, cuz I like KDE interface :/ but its so buggy and a pain to run [07:08] how about the drivers? [07:08] buggy? [07:08] kde reminds me too much of windows gui [07:08] richj: how is recommending to try Opera, bad advice? [07:08] Fixo: Buggy as in the default text size is 1pt [07:08] So should I change from 32 to 64? [07:09] Cry__Baby, because the reported problem is flash, not a browser [07:09] currently i'm using 32 on 64 hardware [07:09] use 64 [07:09] calvin: did you type this:: " sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" ? [07:09] exo232: KDE4 is the worst rip-off of Windows Vista I have ever tasted my own vomit over. [07:09] ok [07:09] if you ave 64 hw i would use that version [07:09] Kubuntu works fine [07:09] richj: stranger things have happened,, lets see how it goes. [07:09] fixo: see http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/3759/testpdw.jpg (task bar) [07:10] cry baby and richj i actualyl used the non macromedia flash stuff on mandriva/fedora it was a much better expierence [07:10] but on ubuntu..i accidentally installed the offical macromedia flash [07:10] not sure how to revert back [07:10] calvin, its gnash. I dont use it because there is little flash 9,10 support [07:10] calvin: ahh i thiougfht so, thats why I said, did you try sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [07:10] calvin: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree works perfect for me [07:10] yes gnash === Cosmo1 is now known as Cosmo1|sleeping [07:10] there we go [07:11] exo232 wtf? [07:11] calvin: that explains it [07:11] fixo: thats what I said [07:11] calvin: try this anyway... sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [07:11] Cry__Baby, he is using flash plugin non free [07:11] richj: no his not [07:11] U should have seen the isntaller it was worse [07:11] *installer [07:11] hows this guys [07:11] how do i CHECK [07:11] which one im currently using? [07:12] sudo ./flashinstaller and then selecting the firefox3 directory within the installer works too [07:12] exo232 I see... maybe is your system fonts... [07:12] calvin: go to a flash testting website? [07:12] about:pluggins [07:12] Some GNOME icons have two different shapes: The second has a small addition in the lower right to the first to indicate a modification in state. I found additions as a white skew cross in a red square, or an exclamation mark in a red circle. What is GNOME's name for such an addition? [07:12] Fixo: acctually its a problem with running 2 monitors durring setup, if you unplug one of your monitors it wont bug out like that [07:12] sorry [07:12] :S [07:12] test [07:12] about:plugins [07:12] calvin: never ever install anythging outside the repos, unless you have made a image first using something like Acronis Trueimage [07:13] sp :p [07:13] Who would test Ekiga together with me? [07:13] I never tried 2 monitors heheh [07:13] calvin, about:plugins in firefox [07:13] File name: npwrapper.libflashplayer.so [07:13] Shockwave Flash 10.0 r22 [07:14] goodbye alll :) [07:14] i think im still using the offical one [07:14] calvin, yes that is adobe [07:14] damn, i need to find a way to resize this partition [07:14] from macromedia [07:14] yeah adobe [07:14] the guide on the forums is retarded [07:14] but i alreaady did the install non-free [07:14] it didnt overwrite it [07:14] calvin: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[07:14] you know... i have to say.. ubuntu made my laptop last at least 4-5 years longer then it would have normaly [07:15] "gregh7470 (n=greg@clec1086.customer.centurytel.net) has joined #ubuntu" [07:15] If you know anything about fdisk this fucks up the crypt mapping if you change the start point of the partition with the crypt on it [07:15] like that what do u see for me? [07:15] i think i misrepresented what i had to say [07:15] calvin: I only did this and flash works: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [07:15] calvin, cry baby seems to be trying to ruin the support irc [07:15] i know exactly what im doing, im jus venting how adobe still cant get it right for linux...

You need to stop that or you will die a very lonely death and alienate people [07:16] my 7 hour partition resize.. IS COMPLETE [07:16] lucian, why use borland? there are so many other good c++ apps [07:16] Cry__Baby, you recommended reinstalling ubuntu to solve the problem. [07:17] lucian, netbeans or eclipse to name a few [07:17] i can't stand the gcc compiler [07:17] lucian, u use g++? [07:17] lucian: but its free ) [07:17] ggg: I told you earlier what to do to get your hostname hidden in freenode, did you not listen? [07:17] cant's stand g++ to [07:17] lucian, thats all borland uses... but borland can do some strange character things [07:17] Myrtti: you can hide your hostname on irc? [07:17] Cry__Baby: on freenode [07:17] lucian, i've had some programs work perfectly in everyting BUT borland [07:18] the borland c++ compiler(turbo c++) it's easyer to rite [07:18] lucian, including microsoft stuff [07:18] Myrtti: is it hard?

Is that I need to do to be secure? [07:21] lucian, borland sucks... dunno.. i've had nothing but problems with it.. i had in instructor issiant give me crap because my program wouldnt compile in his beloved borand... but it compiles in EVERTHING else [07:21] and I see a GREEN SHIELD [07:22] does anyone know where the server.list or conf file are kept for Konversation are?

[08:45] kj4: please stop with the pointless rambling, this is a support channel for ubuntu [08:45] guess not! [08:45] !startup > Eslu [08:45] Eslu, please see my private message [08:45] ondarun: It's true that Ubuntu is a fork project of Debian. However, the forking part implies that "Somebody is sick of the way a project is being run and is trying to do a better job." --> In a way, it's not same. ;) [08:45] aha === martin_ is now known as test [08:45] is there any app that comes close to photoshop for ubuntu? [08:46] Guest79225: gimp [08:46] :D [08:46] is it just as good? [08:46] Decades upon decades in the future, a tremendous anomaly in space will slowly approach the earth, known only as I'unes.

[08:48] 85 is the max :\ [08:48] and i know it can 100 Hz [08:49] Sancsengo: depending on your videocarc/monitor it may be a limitation of the linux/xorg module that drives it, however it may also need to be hardcoded into the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, or it could be easy enough to use the "Display" menu in "system->administration" [08:49] bandung [08:49] hai mat kenal [08:50] thx ill try it [08:50] someone highlight my nick so i can test a notification script? [08:50] bitsbam: hi [08:51] ikonia: hi, thanks, did not work, back to drawing board [08:53] theres nothing interested in this conf file [08:54] Nothing interested? Heh. It's funny how you look at the file like that. :| [08:54] i look with gedit [08:55] Sancsengo: it's dynamic by default so the config file will be empty, so you have to put in additional info that you want to hard code [08:55] hello, does ubuntu 8.10 from the usb stick notice the windows vista on the machine and will know what to do? i cannot make a recovery of windows because i dont have a cd drive [08:55] !x | Sancsengo [08:55] Sancsengo: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

I hope you enjoy your time here :) [09:07] thank you chocobanana [09:07] is there a way to create an usb install from jaunty without installing jaunty? [09:07] Dhanada: so what's the problem then ? you're asking for what guide contains the info you want, and I'm telling you where it is [09:07] i'm looking to rebuild a raid 0, both of the drives are fine but the mobo is dead and needs to be replaced [09:07] doudou: when you start the computer, doesn't it show the Ubuntu logo when starting up? [09:07] Been installing so many linux distros on my desktop now only to find that my problem exists on all of them.. [09:07] The internet connetion si dead slow, resulting in endless errors when updating or installing anything that involves an internet connection [09:07] so where is everyone from? [09:07] ikonia - thanks [09:07] vladtsepesh: http://ask.metafilter.com/63558/How-do-I-get-ubuntu-to-recognize-my-monitors-proper-resolution-again ? [09:07] The internet connection works perfectly fine in Windows on the same computer.. [09:08] jp_: this is a support channel, not a chat channel, #ubuntu-offtopic is for general chat [09:08] i was looking for more advanced help on network configuration as the tips in help files giving me problem [09:08] thanks [09:08] newbie sorry [09:08] no when i start i have a dark screen asking password [09:08] ikonia: thank u....i'll try [09:08] Anyone? [09:08] Dhanada: 1.) you've not explained the problem 2.) that guide I gave you has some good information in it [09:08] Untouchab1e: what kind of connection do you use to connect to the internet? [09:09] can i talk to someone of you in private please? just click me thx [09:09] Wired.. The computer is conneted to a 802.11n WLAN router through wire.. [09:09] ok - thanks - let me explore help.ubuntu.com more in depth and come back with specifics [09:09] morning all [09:09] this computer have been installed a long time ago by someoneelse [09:09] !pm | guanoundliebe [09:09] guanoundliebe: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [09:10] Untouchab1e: hmmm 802.11n may still not be as stable as 802.11g. Are you just connecting to the internet or you also have a home network with other computers? [09:10] 802.11n or g og b is irrelevant since im connected with a cable.. [09:10] oh right [09:10] but yeah.. the router is connected directly to a laptop which shares its wireless internet connection [09:11] ggg: what program did you create the account with? [09:11] and as mentioned, it works perfectly fine in Windows without problems.. [09:11] hi [09:11] ggg: Never mind [09:11] Untouchab1e: working with windows has no relevance to ubuntu other than proving the hardware is working [09:11] ggg: was way far back in the chat log [09:11] Untouchab1e: so you're relaying the internet connection from your computer to others? [09:11] Well, it doesn show that the problem lies not in the network but in fact in Linux.. [09:11] but yeah.. [09:12] A laptop is picking up a wireless network and relaying it to a WLAN router.. [09:12] I did mke2fs.ext -c -c, now it it is checking with the 0xaa pattern, followed by the 0x55 pattern... how many of those patterns are there in total? my hd has been formatting for 10 hours now!! this is not good for a hd! [09:12] Untouchab1e: what wirless network card is in your laptop/machine [09:12] ext3 [09:12] i think noone replied to my questions yet, should i wait? [09:12] guanoundliebe: ask a question [09:12] Intel 5100 Wifi Link [09:13] Untouchab1e: check with lspci see what ubuntu recognises it as [09:13] but that laptop isnt running linux [09:13] aceruser, you specified the -c option twice. This means a much slower read/write test is performed. If your HD is large, this will probably take a lot of time. [09:13] Il try to explain again.. [09:13] i want to install ubuntu 8.10 from usb. does it guide me through installation ..because i have vista installed and no cd drive to make a recovery of it, thx [09:13] please [09:13] s3r3n1t7 but how many patterns? [09:13] guanoundliebe: Use Wubi? [09:14] aceruser, i don't know. [09:14] The laptop is relays the internet connection to a WLAN Router.. my desktop computer is connected directly to that WLAN router (so is 2 other computers which work perfectly fine with Windows in terms of internet connection speed) [09:14] guanoundliebe: yes, it has an installation wizard [09:14] wubi ok, i will try to find some info [09:14] that desktop computer is the one running linux (tried Ubuntu\OpenSUSE\Mandriva, all the same problems) [09:14] thx:) [09:14] Untouchab1e: ok, so your laptop is acting as a proxy/router [09:14] and that is where the ethernet connection is just dead slow and just results in endless errors [09:14] aceruser, why are you using this slow test? [09:15] Untouchab1e: and your desktop is not able to connect, correct ? [09:15] Well.. technically yeah.. sure [09:15] Untouchab1e: you could try and configure a static IP for the desktop [09:15] Yeah, I tried.. :/ [09:15] Untouchab1e: ok, so what network card is in your desktop ? [09:15] guanoundliebe: Running via Wubi would be a bit slow in read/write. Although I prefer pure linux myself. You don't want to lose your data so Wubi is one way for you to experiment around with linux / Ubuntu. ;o [09:15] Untouchab1e, your problem could be related to 1) correct network card driver 2) mtu problems, may be you need to adjust mtu values [09:15] Well, in the desktop computer I have a NVIDIA nForce 590 Ethernet card [09:16] Woulndt MTU be set to 1500 by default= [09:16] ?* [09:16] Untouchab1e: if you do an "ifconfig -a" how many "ethX" devices do you see ? [09:16] Right now, Im in windows though..but i get eth0 and eth1 as far as I can remember, which is likely because my motherboard (ASUS M2N-SLI) has two networks cards [09:16] * JoN^BoN^JovI * ManOwaR - Tatko (Bulgarian).mp3 [09:17] JoN^BoN^JovI: please disable that script [09:17] oh dear [09:17] Untouchab1e: on the desktop do an "lspci" and see what ubuntu identifies your networks as [09:18] Right now I dont have Ubuntu installed, but let me connect to #ubuntu on my laptop and then boot into mandriva on my desktop [09:18] Untouchab1e: if you're not using ubuntu - we can't help you [09:18] Untouchab1e: take it to #mandriva [09:18] But the problem exists on all the linux distro's Ive tried [09:18] Untouchab1e: that doesn't matter [09:18] Untouchab1e, your mtu, in your case, as you explained your connection goes wireless through a laptop, then you need to set the mtu to the value of the laptop mtu to pass it through, or simply activate mtu discovery on, wich is activated by default on windows [09:19] What the command for rename files with F3 should I add? [09:19] Besogon: with F3 ? [09:19] Besogon: what's f3 ? [09:19] Ok thanks.. Il check it out [09:19] xy|ox: the desktop from Untouchab1e is connected with a wire connection [09:19] ikonia, F3 on keyboard [09:19] Besogon: you don't rename files with F3 [09:19] F2 [09:20] chocobanana, but in Windows Im doing that with f3 [09:20] Besogon: you're not using windows - so it won't be relevant [09:20] Besogon: strange because with Windows it should also be with F2 [09:21] sorry. :) I foregot that [09:21] :) [09:21] :D [09:22] /msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER FlashGordon2000 wrxmkbzagcnh [09:22] FlashGordon2000: fail [09:22] "3 [09:22] :# [09:22] :3 [09:25] raid 0 rebuild, any takers? [09:25] danopia: what type of raid, hardware/software/fakeraid [09:25] ikonia, software raid 0, the mobo failed [09:25] draven: linux software raid, as in mdadm ? [09:26] ikonia: i have tried the solution that you suggests to me but doesn't work....the xorg.conf file have neither resolution entry nor color dept entry ( as your link says) and also renaming xorg.conf and running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't work.....what can i do?? [09:26] yeah mdadm, 2 disks the mobo burned out and the drives are good but need to be transferred [09:27] vladtsepesh: as I said, it's dynamic, if you want to add functionality to it, you'll need to add parameters to the config file [09:27] does KDE interfaces are suported on ubuntu? [09:27] draven: ok - what file system was using raid0 ? [09:27] ikonia, ext3 [09:27] lucian: yes. What are you looking for specifiacally? [09:27] draven: no, I mean /home / /var ? [09:27] lucian: yes [09:27] Kopete interfaces [09:28] :D [09:28] ;)) [09:28] ikonia, / root the boot was outside of it [09:28] SHUTTA FUCKA [09:28] ikonia: sorry but i have not understand you.....i'm not so good with linux....could you explain me? [09:28] lucian: yes, you can run Kopete on Ubuntu's Gnome desktop [09:29] Hey [09:29] vladtsepesh: what was the original question? [09:29] no i ask if i can aplay a kDE interface theme to kopete and how do i do that [09:29] lucian: eros289 [09:29] ops [09:29] lucian: http://amazing-development.com/archives/2007/07/20/install-new-themes-for-kopete/ [09:30] lucian: there is a lot of documentation on the web [09:30] when is Vinagre going to be fixed? :S [09:30] you just bacame my best friend :)) [09:30] thx [09:31] is noone else bothered that the VNC doesn't work on Jaunty? [09:31] VNC *server that is [09:32] Why AcetoneISO don't inklude in gnome-app-install? That is cool program. [09:32] un|matrix, what do you mean doesn't work? I gave a workshop @ school 2 weeks ago, where they would use VNC on a jaunty server. [09:32] hey everyone. anyone know how to resize the amount of "reserved-blocks-percentage" without wiping the data on the drive? [09:32] maybe its not possible.. [09:32] chocobanana: the question is....i used an old crt monitor and all went ok....now i have change the crt with an lcd one...after the "ubuntu loading screen" the monitor become black and the led flashing like there is no inout signal..... [09:32] you folks generally perfer to use grub as the boot loader to a dual boot win/linux system or the windows one? [09:32] s3r3n1t7: it doesn't update the view. this didn't happen on intrepid [09:32] hanasaki, you need grub [09:32] maddhat, tune2fs -m [09:33] thanks :-) [09:33] draven: why is that? [09:33] hi today only I upgraded [09:33] un|matrix, doesn't update the view? You mean that it doesn't refresh the whole screen, but only the part where you did something? [09:33] s3r3n1t7: it's reported in bug #367682, but it was marked as a dupe to some weird non-related thing [09:33] draven: with the chainloader or another way? [09:33] vladtsepesh: is it a secondary or primary screen? What graphics card you have and which Ubuntu version? [09:33] ikonia i have a question why in my kopete aplication doesn't exist settings>configure>aperence [09:33] hanasaki, windows will need to be installed first. the windows bootloader won't recognize windows [09:33] s3r3n1t7: the whole screen [09:33] hanasaki, ugh i mean linux [09:33] lucian: I'm pretty sure it does [09:33] Hi everyone. Can I conclude that Ubuntu server does not have a management console to control client and group policies like Microsoft Active Directory? We want to forced certain policies (certain resolutions, background images ect on each client (desktop user) at our office) [09:33] hi today only I upgraded to jaunty final from alpha 5. [09:33] un|matrix, that's a server configuration iirc. Let me see that bug though, maybe i'm wrong. [09:33] dieMasjien, not exactly [09:33] win is installed already .. I cannot reinstall it. need to modify the system to be dual boot [09:34] s3r3n1t7: all you see is like a screenshot [09:34] dieMasjien: you need to use the policy kit and ldap [09:34] one thing that was different was that now whenever someone comes online in pidgin [09:34] also the messaging indicator flashes [09:34] hanasaki, if you left space and partitions for linux you'll be fine [09:34] is this a bug ? should it not get that green dot when I receive a message [09:34] is there a way to change it [09:34] ? [09:34] ikonia its just settings>configure>chat window [09:35] draven: the plan is to boot the desktop cd and resize the partition. however, what do I put in menu.lst to get win to boot as well? [09:35] the aperence stage it's missing [09:35] ikonia, Seveas: Is this server side and when the employee logs onto the domain these settings will be forced on their pcs? [09:35] Ive setup an fstab for my external drive, still isnt mounting at boot, Where would i see the error if it fails mounting? [09:35] ikonia, any idea on the recovery of the raid 0? [09:35] dieMasjien, I'm searching for the app you need, can't remember its name. Policykit and ldap as ikonia suggested are for authorization/authentication management only [09:36] hanasaki, in a normal install ubuntu will recognize your windows install and put an entry into grub for you [09:36] draven: sorry, forgot about that, your going to have to boot into a livecd - start the raid array, get the new uuid's and update your mdadm.conf file [09:36] draven: the current system is windows only.. so umm does that mean that there is no sector to boot on the windows aprtition? only on the mbr? and thus it will be overwritten with the grub loader which is a problem [09:36] dieMasjien, pessulus [09:36] Is there an easy way to convert between date formats? I think "date" should be able to do it, but I can't seem to make it recognize my input format [09:37] un|matrix, ah, you use Vino as VNC server? [09:37] i am installing xubuntu over Wibu now. but it says "xubuntu-9.04-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent even i have a intel centrino. is that fine? thx [09:37] hanasaki, windows always tosses it's boot loader to the mbr. grub may be installed elsewhere but should include your windows install and put it as a boot selection [09:37] chocobanana: can u help me? [09:37] guanoundliebe, no. [09:37] oh oh [09:38] I tried this: date -d 20090524003952 +%Y%m%d%H%M%S, but the format string there is interpreted as the output format, not input format [09:38] s3r3n1t7: yeah the default in ubuntu... it's really simple to enable/configure, which i like very much [09:38] vladtsepesh: yes, but I dind't see your answer to my questions [09:38] guanoundliebe, unless the centrino is 64bit [09:38] hi again === redarrow_ is now known as redarrow [09:38] Seveas, so i break up the download? [09:38] sorry i have read your answer....so this is my first and only screen [09:38] oh i see [09:38] is there any way to reset my panels to the default ubuntu ones? [09:38] i dont think so [09:38] guanoundliebe, I thought all centrinos are 32bit, so better grab the 'i386' version [09:38] ikonia, thanks. room night all [09:38] un|matrix, hmm yes. I used vnc-server to set it up, not vino. [09:38] ther wibu did it automatically Seavas [09:38] any way possible to reverse video (make it backwards)? i think ffmpeg may be one way but i'm not too good with it [09:38] if i set up an ubuntu server as followed by this guide: http://rubbervir.us/projects/ubuntu_media_server/ is there a way i can access this externally outside my network? [09:39] the graphic card is an integrated video card but i dont remeber wich model....however it is neither nvidia nor ati [09:39] vladtsepesh, intel maybe? [09:39] howdy all [09:39] vladtsepesh, most of the time integrated vid cards are intel [09:39] yes intel i think [09:39] draven: ok so right now the mbr is the windows mbr / bootloader. this I know. it has the code to start windows on the 2nd partition (first is the dell hidden partition) so If I overwrite the mbr and windwos bootloader with grub the windows bootable that the windows bootloader uses will be gone.. this is a problem I think. what do you think? [09:39] Guest79225: gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel [09:39] I have problem with the bcm4318 [09:39] Seavas: the Wibu installer maybe made the right decisiion? [09:39] hanasaki, no, grub dosen't kill winblows mbr [09:39] vladtsepesh: Ubuntu version? Is the new screen primary or secondary? [09:40] I don't have other connection than wireless [09:40] racecar56: how so? [09:40] hanasaki, if you boot winblows in grub it boots the winblows mbr [09:40] Seveas: Thank you, just for clarification, when using pessulus, it forces certain desktop settings specifically for gnome, but does it also allow us to change e.g. access to the hard drive, disable the ability to install applications ect? [09:40] hanasaki, :) [09:40] new screen is primary....i have switch the two screen....ubuntu is 9.04 [09:40] hanasaki, no that is not a problem. as i mentioned before grub will detect and put an entry into it for windows [09:40] racecar56: there is only one mbr [09:40] I managed to get the b43 module loaded, bot to no change on the iwlist scan [09:40] s3r3n1t7: how do i change to vnc-server without screwing up something? [09:40] hi. i installed azureus on ubuntu, and i have sun-java6-bin installed, but azureus wont run [09:40] exec: 11: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java: not found [09:41] dieMasjien, 'access to hard drive', well to parts of it, is done with file permissions. No users by default have the ability to install packages and this is controlled through standard permissions/groups/sudo [09:41] hanasaki, :\ i know it's confusing but i can boot winblows or ubuntu with grub, no problems there [09:41] zeeble, any error message? [09:41] how do i fix that? [09:41] hanasaki, but im glad grub can do that => [09:41] there is ssb, mac80211, led_class and ssb using the b43 module [09:41] Igramul: i tried running it from CLI, and i got exec: 11: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java: not found [09:41] it's ampd64 if that helps [09:41] How can I make Ubuntu's keyring store more passwords? [09:41] un|matrix, as far as my knowledge goes, it's just a different program. You can disable vino in the menu, install vnc-server, and then start it from command line. [09:41] racecar56: can you walk through your process that setup the dual boot? [09:41] vladtsepesh: what's the new screen native resolution? [09:41] hanasaki, ? [09:41] dieMasjien, so you'll need 1) pessulus for gnome-y things 2) Correct file permissions 3) ldap for account management 4) something like puppet to synchronize files like /etc/sudoers [09:42] i run transmission on ubuntu usually, but there are some torrents i was downloading in windows that i want to continue here [09:42] * zalun is frustrated [09:42] i don't know but in windows xp it works on 800x600 [09:42] s3r3n1t7: by 'menu' you mean Synaptic? [09:42] is an old lcd screen [09:42] zeeble, try "java -version" to check, if the OpenJDK is used. [09:42] * zalun has to use his daughter eee to ask for help [09:43] dieMasjien, and you're correct in concluding that this isn't as integrated as the windows AD console. Personally I consider that a good thing :) [09:43] vladtsepesh: and did you try to type the following in a terminal: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [09:43] Igramul: java version "1.6.0_14" [09:43] nope, the proper version [09:43] un|matrix, you configured vino from the configuration menu in system didn't you? i thought there was a menu for it .. [09:43] b43 is not working for me - or it is and I don't know how to make it connect [09:43] it was working fine on the 8.10 (ndiswrapper probably) [09:44] no...i'll try it now....so i have to run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg and reboot? [09:44] racecar56: draven I keep seeing all this about copying mbrs ... http://oreilly.com/linux/archive/dual-boot-laptop.html?page=3 [09:44] hello all im trying to install ubuntu on a computer and it is booting into a command prompt type display [09:44] any help would be nice [09:44] vladtsepesh: yeah [09:44] mistereverywhere: what do you see in the command prompt? [09:44] choco what does the -phigh do? [09:44] zeeble, is there a file /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java ? [09:44] mistereverywhere - what is the X sayingabout it? [09:44] today I upgraded to jauand now in pidgin whenever someone comes online the messaging indicator shows a green dot and this is annoying should it not highlight itself whenever someone sends a msg right? [09:45] ?? is this a bug or this is the intended behaiviour [09:45] it says initramfs zeeble [09:45] Igramul: nope. [09:45] s3r3n1t7: yeah but there's no option to change the vnc server in that menu [09:45] i'm rebooting [09:45] draven: and racecar56 can you put your grub menu.lst boot in pastebin please? [09:45] zalun: the x? [09:45] un|matrix, ah no there isn't. But you can disable vino in there can't you? vnc-server is command-line based. [09:45] Igramul: maybe i need to link my installed java version to what azureus wants [09:45] gum76: man dpkg-reconfigure [09:45] hanasaki, k ill send link [09:45] if i set up an ubuntu server as followed by this guide: http://rubbervir.us/projects/ubuntu_media_server/ is there a way i can access this externally outside my network? [09:45] mistereverywhere - you didn't came to this - it didn't actually boot up [09:46] problem with pidgin ... whenever i add contact and after the person acepts it then the next time i get all contacts .. ( you want to add ? question .) [09:46] it says busybox v1.1.3 built in shell ash [09:46] s3r3n1t7: great, i bet something will break and i'll end up googling some weird vnc error -_- [09:46] hello [09:46] it doesn't work......now?? [09:46] ok [09:46] * zalun looks for some experience with b43 [09:46] i have to ask [09:46] what is ubuntu kernel new version ? [09:46] zalun i hit power and choose to boot into ubuntu and it comes to that line [09:46] rts: 2.6.28 [09:46] that is it [09:47] * zalun looks for some experience with b43/ [09:47] f*&^% eee keyboard [09:47] i have to 2.6.30 version [09:47] rts: latest update: 2.6.28-11 [09:47] How can I check to which package a file belongs to? [09:47] mistereverywhere - is there a login prompt? [09:47] rts: ubuntu version? [09:48] yes ubuntu kermic [09:48] kernel [09:48] zalun nope, its booting from the disc im trying to install for the first time [09:48] rts: but which version do you have installed? Karmic? [09:48] s3r3n1t7: lucky... it worked; well thanks i guess [09:48] yes karmic [09:48] is shit ? [09:48] rts: lol. Not necessarily if you're willing to live with experimental stuff.... [09:49] how can i check with kernel versoin i have ??? [09:49] karmic has more updates happening everyday than your average stuff [09:49] uname -a [09:49] Anyone can help? Using Jaunty; when I go to google maps, and select Street View, I only see black :P [09:49] Igramul: apt-file search yourfilename [09:49] Hello, im trying to get VNC Server to work, and it does. But on the client side it wont show droplists and such, menus. It only respons to clicks with my mouse. [09:49] The screen doesn't refresh. [09:49] zeeble : was that for me ?? [09:49] rts: you should then ask for help at the #ubuntu+1 channel [09:49] rameshwo: yes [09:49] yes, he is beta test version ? [09:49] s3r3n1t7: I am using the slow test to be sure the badblocks are properly recognized! [09:50] rts: alpha [09:50] Igramul: first you have to install apt-file with sudo apt-get install apt-file and then do a "sudo apt-file update" [09:50] luisa: which browser are you using? [09:50] im trying to install it for the first time on this computer and its going straight to a initramfs command line [09:50] i've order ubuntu 8.10 from canonical....... can i again order 9.04 ?? or probably server edition ?? [09:51] hanasaki, http://racecar56.pastebin.com/f49a32f76 [09:51] rameshwo: there's no limit on the orders [09:51] hanasaki, there are 2 XP's be careful, ones my recovery partition (im on a compaq) [09:51] chocobanana, I have tried with Firefox 3.0.11 and Opera 9.64 Build 2480 ~ Also Epiphany [09:51] racecar56: can I see the boot menu? [09:51] ok [09:51] hanasaki, ? [09:52] luisa: if google maps needs flash or some other plugin, you might need to install it [09:52] zeeble, if I can watch youtube videos, and see Google Maps normal view, I got flash, right? [09:52] luisa: yeah, you got flash. [09:53] luisa: dunno, never used google maps. let me check if mine works proper [09:53] hey all, i have an eeepc with ubuntu, and its got 2 internal ssd drives, a small one and a big one, how do i move the home mount from the small to the big? [09:53] Thanks [09:53] i get Stale NFS file handle error whenever i try to access some files. fsck doesnt find any errors. i cant read delete, rename chown etc to those files [09:53] luisa: yes, you may have a flash player but it may be no be the one from Adobe [09:53] luisa: can you open Synaptic? [09:53] what can i do to get notifications working in awesome wm like in gnome? [09:53] there's a WM called awesome? [09:54] hanasaki, quit being paranoid. [09:54] chocobanana, yes, *opens* :) Go ahead (Yay, instructions! :D ) [09:54] zeeble: yeah, a tiling WM, pretty cool one too [09:54] bitsbam: hehe, ok [09:54] lol @ draven [09:54] thanks [09:54] luisa: search for Flash [09:54] im trying to install it for the first time on this computer and its going straight to a initramfs command line, it also says something about busybox v1.1.3 (debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu12) Built in shell (ash) [09:54] Hello, im trying to get VNC Server to work, and it does. But on the client side it wont refresh. Using Vino's VNC Server together with RealVNC's Viewer. [09:55] zeeble: know what might help me? [09:55] zeeble: kinda new to it [09:55] bitsbam: what sort of notifications do you mean? [09:55] Esju: I would try something besides realvnc... tightvnc is good [09:55] when i try to request a cd i get ( page not available ) why ?? [09:55] chocobanana, I got + Adobe Flash + Mozilla plugin for SWF files (Macromedia Flash) + SWF (Macromedia Flash) decoder library installed. Are there supposed to be 3 of them? ^_^;; [09:55] luisa: and from the results list tell us which packages are installed [09:55] Esju: as a first step [09:55] Esju are you using compiz on the serverside? [09:56] nah [09:56] rameshwo: which city are you from? find out if someone close to you already has ubuntu CDs and borrow frm them. mail order CDs are a pain, and reach a long time later anywaqy [09:56] im just using normal gnome. [09:56] zeeble: well, like in irssi, the perl script that notifies me when my nick is highlighted, that is the main one [09:56] hanasaki, got what u wanted? [09:56] racecar56: ah.. so windows always puts what is needed on the partition it is installed on? the mbr and windows boot loader is just to get to the partition and load the boot code for win? [09:56] Esju ok cos there is a known bug with nvidia drivers and compiz [09:56] hanasaki, yah [09:56] ah [09:56] zeeble: and the pop up notifications like in gnome when pidgin does something [09:57] zeeble: not many people aware of ubuntu around me. i got 8.10 in 3 weeks n i can wait for that time.. [09:57] Hm maybe i have it installed from ubuntu install. [09:57] hm. sounds like the equivalent of what growl does on macosx [09:57] But i havent installed it myself === rts is now known as rts-eemal === rts-eemal is now known as rts [09:57] racecar56: hmm windows boot loader can read the boot.ini I guess that means it read the ntfs filesystem directly to get the boot.ini? [09:57] luisa: Close all browsers. Then uninstall (Mark for complete removal) those three packages. Check if there are more installed in that results list (there shouldn't be) and remove as well. Then reinstall only the flashplugin-installer [09:57] rameshwo: which city are you in, that's what i asked. [09:57] hanasaki, hmm [09:57] hanasaki, idk [09:57] rameshwo: if you get onto the linux-india mailing list and asked, you could find out [09:57] zeeble: yeah, like growl [09:57] racecar56: huh? [09:57] Nah i dont koshari :/ [09:58] im trying to install it for the first time on this computer and its going straight to a initramfs command line, it also says something about busybox v1.1.3 (debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu12) Built in shell (ash) [09:58] any way possible to make a video play backwards? i think ffmpeg may be one way but i'm not too good with it [09:58] not sure how you would do it with a different window manager, bitsbam [09:58] hanasaki, i don't know [09:58] hanasaki, IDK = I Don't Know [09:58] luisa: let us know how did it go :) [09:58] let me check if there are any apps that handle notifications and then you can start it up too [09:58] zeeble: gnome in the new Ubuntu Jaunty has a really cool jazzed up notify system, don't know if i can do it in awesome [09:59] zeeble: any will do [09:59] chocobanana, install the flashplugin-installer? The same I just had installed? [10:00] racecar56: thanks. just a quick recheck.. ok? you had win installed? partitioned to have space for a linux partition... installed linux with a grub mbr and it finds the windows partition and boots fine? [10:00] luisa: yes. Just follow my above instructions to the letter [10:00] You're the boss. [10:00] can i set up server edition in 160gb hard disk. 1.7 Ghz dual core.. 2.5 gb Ram ?? just to learn ... ?? [10:00] hanasaki, yes i had winblows installed [10:00] hanasaki, all works good [10:00] hanasaki, here is what i did: [10:01] racecar56: what if you ever want to take out linux and just have win? what do you do with he grub? [10:01] zeeble: just noticed my download complete notification works in awesome, so maybe i have my irssi config messed up. [10:01] hanasaki, i did a recovery when i fixed this clunker (and rescued it from the dumpster =D), so i got winblows [10:01] will be right back [10:01] bitsbam: oh. super. let me install that WM and see how it works [10:01] racecar56, dont have a dig and windows, it knows it gets all depressed [10:01] hanasaki, then i installed ubuntu [10:01] luisa: lol [10:01] racecar56, just let it be [10:01] zeeble: can i set up server edition in 160gb hard disk. 1.7 Ghz dual core.. 2.5 gb Ram ?? just to learn ... ?? [10:02] rameshwo, that is good hardware, dont see anything wrong [10:02] chocobanana, geez, this whole time you are making me suffer because I cannot browse the web until i install this. It's killing me slowly :P JK [10:03] racecar56 : ok....thanks.. [10:03] im trying to install it for the first time on this computer and its going straight to a "initramfs" command line, it also says something about "busybox v1.1.3 (debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu12) Built in shell (ash)" any help would be very welcome [10:03] luisa: hehe. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes to do all this [10:03] chocobanana, *done installing* [10:04] luisa: :) now open Firefox and see if it works [10:04] chocobanana: i have to kubuntu 9.04 install CD :D [10:04] help [10:04] rts: www.kubuntu.com [10:05] i dont want new installing my computers [10:05] chocobanana, *hi5* Good job, thank you! I no longer get the black out :P [10:05] i want to download and upgrasde [10:05] luisa: :D fantastic [10:06] That was easy enough ^_^_ [10:06] rts, you want to upgrade from what to what? [10:06] hey there [10:06] i'm having troubles with my eee pc [10:06] heres the o/p of ls -al .mozilla/firefox/tn.... http://codepad.org/Bdt5K7Sc i cant access these files with -???????? in front of them [10:06] draven: i have to karmic version linux [10:07] luisa: great that you liked it! Just to let you know what was the problem, you seemed to have at least two different flash players installed, therefore, you had a *conflict* [10:07] cube_, i dont own an eee [10:07] but shoot [10:07] maybe we can help [10:07] chocobanana, yeah, two flash players don't think better than one, do they? === MadMax is now known as Guest40833 [10:08] luisa: less is more [10:08] How can I configure the host sound device that VirtualBox will use? [10:08] I just got a little question for you, do the major of you have compiz enabled? or what are your oppinion in this [10:08] Does the desktop function better with compiz/desktop effects enabled? [10:08] rameshwo: yeah, you can install the server edition on that comp. more than enough config. [10:08] I dont want to miss some important features of ubuntu if i disable it [10:08] it will function slower. more eye candy [10:08] norpan111, in my opinion, there is no benefit in it. [10:08] no, you wont miss any feature disabling compiz. [10:08] thanks =) [10:09] norpan111: disabled here because it doesn't play nice with my dual screen configuration. Otherwise you can gain in usability or eye candy [10:09] chocobanana, and I can actually watch YouTube videos without it being wacky :P (person talking slow...then too fast like you are fast forwarding) I will remember this fix, in case someone asks the same thing I did ^_^ [10:09] Now, is there a way to disable those ugly black borders that traces a window when minimized? [10:09] hello, is there any pidgin plugin for mass messaging? [10:09] its like dark chocolate packaged in shiny wrapper [10:09] TOGGI3: alright. well i installed easy peasy on it. and with that comes this sftware called eee-config. now i wanted to install eee-control, but i cant, because that requires to uninstall eee-config, and uninstalling that uninstalls the package easy peasy, which i believe would totally screw up my system. what i want to do eventually is to be able to turn on/off wifi and bluetooth [10:09] in which application do you see an ugly black border? [10:09] luisa: yea, you should be able to browse pretty much any Flash website now [10:09] rts, what are you upgrading from and why do you need karmic? it's alpha and should only be used if you're participating in the alpha/need the changes included [10:09] chocobanana, yes i noticed the same when trying to connect me tv to my computer..compiz mess it up [10:09] most likely you should be fine removing it and installing eee-control [10:10] I dont see a reason the system would fail to work without eee-config [10:10] zeeble, every window i minimize, there is black tails after window [10:10] but again keep in mind I dont own an ee [10:10] I dont think theres anything too special about htem [10:10] is karmic [10:10] norpan111: huh weird. never saw it [10:10] in terms of things breaking [10:10] guys... its only for 64 bit . will it work in 32 bit ? probably not ???? [10:10] zeeble, try minimize a window, wich ever.. and youll see it :P [10:10] i mean the server edtition.. [10:10] norpan111: those black borders trailing the minimizing are from metacity... Not sure how to get rid of them. Probably in gconf-editor [10:10] TOGGI3: yeah yeah. but, when i wanna deinstall eee-config in synaptic, it wants to remove "easy peasy" as well. [10:10] chocobanana, but you have them as well? [10:11] try with aptitude? [10:11] norpan111: no idea. i dont see any dirty black border [10:11] norpan111: that's standard in any Gnome installation with Compiz disabled [10:11] well, not unless you post a screenshot and tell what [10:11] I would just let it [10:11] as long as it doesnt touch anything that makes the system work [10:11] and I dont think any of htat does [10:11] chocobanana, yeah, can it be disabled somehow? [10:11] use a different metacity theme then [10:11] you can find a bunch at gnome-look.org [10:11] rts please post in channel, no karmic is not a bad version, its just not stable yet. a normal end user shouldn't use it yet. [10:11] which doesnt have borders [10:12] guys...canonical says its only for 64 bit . will it work in 32 bit ? probably not ???? === elad is now known as elad` [10:12] rts: karmic is NOT for use yet. things break. today, audacity is broken, i think [10:12] zeeble, what is metacity? is it just the theme of the window boarders? [10:12] TOGGI3: hmm idk. i already screwed up my system yesterday by updating the 8.11 underneath my easy peasy to ubuntu 9.04, and i had to reinstall everything all over again [10:12] norpan111: metacity is the software that takes care of the GUI. the window borders, etc [10:13] norpan111: you can apply multiple themes. and metacity will take care of all the looks, minimizing, etc [10:13] not sure then, you may want to post on the forums [10:13] theres bound to be another eee user [10:13] zeeble, ok. cus no mather the theme, the trace is still there.. but i will check it out.. BAThroom brb [10:13] yeah alright [10:13] norpan111: http://www.harshj.com/2007/11/16/tip-to-speeden-up-metacity-in-gnome/ [10:14] noropan: FYI, that came from: http://www.harshj.com/2007/11/16/tip-to-speeden-up-metacity-in-gnome/ [10:14] how do i get the original pidgin icon back in the system tray, in ubuntu 9.04? the mailbox icon is quite ugly and irritating === Acedip_ is now known as Acedip [10:14] norpan111: woops.

Did it answer the question for you? :) [10:20] morning all, i have a query regarding partitioning my hard drive, i currently have ubuntu installed onto a external hard drive, is it possible to partition this hard drive into 2 80G partitions, one for my ubuntu installation and the other partition to be used as a storage device for music/videos etc which can be access through my ps3? [10:20] Rarw! @ Everyone, Hi! I hope they are people in here to help y out ALOT , cuz im newbie to Ubuntu, and i migt get you a bit fustrated :D [10:20] hi [10:21] Crazy|One: I think this should be possible [10:21] first let me se what all i need and read a few stuss over it [10:21] chocobanana, it sure did =) [10:21] norpan111: Great! :D [10:21] * ThorsonB will change his name to Jay === ThorsonB is now known as Jay [10:21] sonium should i read up partitioning on ubuntu for more information? i have searched on google for more information, but my searching sklills are very limited [10:21] chocobanana, do you live with the black borders? or did you also disable it? [10:22] * Jay will change his name to JayZ === Jay is now known as JayZ [10:22] do you know what filesystem you ps3 requires? [10:22] norpan111: I actually like them because they help in show where did the window go to in the task bar [10:22] chocobanana, I miss the zoom effect and so on =/ [10:22] haha [10:23] FAT32 i believe sonium [10:23] norpan111: Me too, that would be my preferred choice but I need the 2 screens more than that === JayZ is now known as iPhone3G [10:23] ugly wireframe when moving around a window also === iPhone3G is now known as iPodTouch [10:23] norpan111: That's an unfortunate trade-off [10:24] Ill just disable compiz when i connect an extra screen... [10:24] i just find compiz kinda buggy.. [10:24] hay q onda q asen [10:24] maybe its my drivers === iPodTouch is now known as ThorB [10:24] norpan111: which graphics card do you have? [10:25] i have two windows partitions - now depending on which one i mount first, they get pathnames of "/media/disk" and "/media/disk-1". I want someway of assigning paths which are constant, so that my scripts dont break down. How do i do this? [10:25] chocobanana, geforce 8200M [10:25] Its an integrated card [10:25] norpan111: which driver are you using? [10:25] Crazy|One: the problem is that you can't use the ubuntu system on your external drive while modifining it's paritiontion.

[11:02] I've been running Jaunty for a few days now and the overall performance is terrible. I migrated to Xubuntu-desktop and experiencing barely difference. For example Firefox uses 100MB Memory when only downloading a file (other windows are closed). Is this a bug that Jaunty is this slow.. or? [11:02] znh: whats ur stats for ur comp? [11:03] znh: you'll have to define "slow".. is the ui laggy? does openoffice take long to save a file? network performance bad? [11:03] rikki_max, 1.6Ghz Pentium M, 1GB RAM [11:03] i have 2 gigs of ram and i'm only using 300 megs. i stopped the trackerd thingy in the task manager. there isn't anything easy to see that is using a lot of cpu [11:03] does anyone know anything about how to write a config file for synergy?

I was able to this in earlier versions with ease [11:04] wilsonj: it's a bug in the vlc package [11:04] Slart, is there a fix? [11:05] hi ... can someone help me with this: http://pastie.org/511399 i think this might have something to do with me upgrading to 9.04 [11:05] wilsonj: I guess it will be fixed in future versions.. there was a vlc update today I think.. not sure if this is fixed though [11:05] wilsonj: well.. you can download the source and compile it yourself.. but I don't think there is an easier fix than that [11:05] ikonia, can I do -k /home/mycurrentuser - or will that break too much stuff?

[11:08] norpan111, what's up :) [11:08] it probibly has somethign to do with no ATI drivers for 9.04 [11:08] znh: laptops sometimes do all kinds of crazy things to save power/space/weight.. I don't really know of a guaranteed fix for it.. you can try different graphics settings.. disabling background stuff (trackerd comes to mind).. there are kernel settings for swapping and such..perhaps one of these of a combination of them might make it work better [11:08] how can I tell what verison os Ubutu I am using, is there like a command for the command ling... like in Windows you type "ver" [11:09] ThorB: cat /etc/issue [11:09] znh: ATI has a kind of bad reputation when it comes to linux drivers.. but I can't really help you with that.. never used ati on linux myself [11:09] ThorB: lsb_release -a works too [11:09] i use the mesa-glx drivers with my ati x800 card [11:09] works ok [11:10] znh, well i try to do an kill 2710 (id for x) do enter terminal do install new drivers.. but i just get logged out ;P [11:10] Slart, true, but this generation has open source drivers :) It's just this version performing crap [11:10] spade: then you'll have to check the site for freemind.. see what kind of install options they have [11:10] norpan111, you want to return to the terminal?

[12:52] lambengolmor, are you there? [12:53] norphan do you have proper drivers installed? and did you do anything to xorg.conf? [12:53] I'm not expert on it but i'll try to give advice [12:53] brayden, yes i did something with xorg.conf , i tried to restore it [12:53] And im using the correct drivers [12:54] Im sure of that [12:54] Didn't you backup xorg.conf? [12:54] Its the same i used before i tried to restore xorg [12:54] brayden, yes i did, thats the one i tried to restore === SpinacZ is now known as SpinacZ[away] [12:54] anyway, i did not go as aspected [12:54] Hi All, I am trying to setup my HP ExpressCard DVB-T TV Tuner on Ubunutu 9.04 to work with mythtv and having no luck I followed a wiki document about DVB setup and didn't have any success. [12:54] So i tried to restore it as it was "out of box" [12:55] and no desktop effects eh? [12:55] brayden, yeah no effects [12:55] Try reinstalling your driver for your video card [12:55] But everything else is fine, resolution et [12:55] etc [12:55] brayden, did that, twice [12:56] oh! so you running nvidia or ati? [12:56] Nvidia [12:56] haha just like me and everyone else. anyway so have you got the latest 180 drivers? [12:56] when I do "apt-get purge openoffice.org*" on kubuntu 9.04, the following packages (matched by the *) makes apt pull tons of gnome packages in: openoffice.org-help-en-gb* openoffice.org-help-en-us* openoffice.org-l10n-common* openoffice.org-l10n-en-gb* openoffice.org-l10n-en-za* thunderbird-locale-en-gb* [12:56] can that be prevented? I use KDE! [12:57] ! fglrx [12:57] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [12:57] brayden, yes 180.14 or 44 i belive === SpinacZ[away] is now known as SpinacZ [12:58] But there is something with my xorg.conf not driver issue ezerhoden [12:58] Did you have desktop effects before hand so you know that your card can support them? [12:58] brayden, o yes! [12:58] They were excellent [12:58] yeah i know === raven is now known as Guest8828 [12:58] try installing your video card with envy-ng === Guest8828 is now known as _raven [12:58] i had to do that the other day, same problem :P [12:59] But then i tried to install new 185 driver , did not work so i got back to 180 . thats when something with my xorg.conf brayden [12:59] got broken [12:59] .180 didnt work for me either [12:59] i used 173 i think it was [12:59] well 180 worked just perfectly [12:59] norpan111: that was for myself === pepito_ is now known as metal1369 [12:59] it was me messed up my xorg.conf scott\ [12:59] Let me guess scott, you got a black screeen on startup? haha i used to get that with intrepid on my 180 driver [12:59] yep [13:00] yeah, i did't get that issue in jaunty though [13:00] ditto [13:00] Should i just add some line with "load xgl" or similiar in my xorg.conf? [13:00] does anyone know how to patch the mac80211 rtl8187 driver? It seems I don't have the source installed... [13:00] @lamben: it work now [13:00] i didnt crash while playing videos [13:00] I'm not srue norpan, I'm not taht good with video drivers [13:01] brayden, =/ [13:01] So it just lets you have the lowest possible effects like you installed it with no driver [13:01] thanks for the help sir [13:01] all sorry one con speak ita? [13:01] Help! Jaunty is randomly freezing my computer; what can i do about it? [13:01] give us more detail un|matrix. that'll help hah [13:02] brayden: i wish i could, but i can't get anything from a frozen system [13:02] Well did you do much with it since first install? [13:02] hey. any wubi support here? [13:02] magnetron: as stated before, flash does not work on my system.. at all.. I suspect it may be just too slow.. but I remember a few years ago, flash 9 worked at a usable state in linux [13:02] I would appreciate any help with setting up my tv tuner in ubuntu [13:02] gartral, changing the DE should have no influence over how well flash works. if going to a DE that has a lower video footprint such as E16 makes a difference, then your issue is not flash. [13:02] Can i restore xorg.conf somehow? [13:02] brayden: i've upgraded from intrepid (which worked fine) [13:03] gartral: if the issue is low FPS, then clearly flash is actually running [13:03] Cus it was properly configured before.. now i messed something up.. [13:03] =( [13:03] How do I start "aircrack-ng" isnt not a GUI program [13:03] norpan: this may not be a good idea but maybe you could leach my xorg.conf file. this'd be probably a very dangerous thing though. [13:03] =( [13:03] un|matrix, is this a clean install? has it been happening for a while, if not what did you do on the system last? stop all unneeded processes even startup apps, have you got enough ram? more info [13:03] elky: I would have figured as much except for one minor issue: everything else works *just fine* [13:03] hi,everybody. [13:03] ThorB: you use it through terminal. there's some good docs on the aircrack-ng website [13:03] Pirate Hunger, it wasn't a clean install [13:03] brayden, what could happen?:P [13:03] he said he upgraded from intrepid [13:03] where i can download the file "libc-2.5.so"? [13:04] anyway norpan, i'm not sure but something catestrophic might [13:04] gartral, do you have desktop effects on? [13:04] Pirate_Hunter: it's been happening since i upgraded from Intrepid, so not exactly a clean install, but a clean update sure [13:04] hclhdj: Please state your problem [13:04] do i need to provide the --32 argument if the iso and wubi.exe is in the same folder? [13:04] hclhdj: WOAW... you DO NOT want to go about messing with your libc... [13:04] so compiz just stop working on me [13:04] can anyone take a look at my xorg.conf?P [13:04] Isn't compiz running? [13:04] well i dont know [13:04] Yeah norpan I'll give a shot. [13:04] ;S [13:05] brayden, ok ill pastebin my xorg.conf [13:05] magnetron: when i install the wine 1.1.23.....then happen en erroe [13:05] elky: with or without effects had no difference in gnome or kde [13:05] magnetron: when i install the wine 1.1.23.....then happen en error [13:05] Where can i find it?;P [13:05] hclhdj: how did you install it? [13:05] magnetron: install the wine ,i use the deb packag [13:05] norpan111, on my system monitor in processes it shows compiz running, is it on yours? [13:05] hclhdj: what deb package? [13:05] Hi all im using a apple macbook late 08 aliminum 13inch and cant get no sound using ubuntu 9.04 any help because im not looking forward to going back to boring old os x [13:06] elky magnetron with or without effects had no difference in gnome or kde [13:06] great, tnx [13:06] brayden, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/df8d574f [13:06] magnetron: "wine_1.1.23~winehq0~ubuntu~9.04-0ubuntu1_i386.deb" [13:06] skysurfer36: is your sound card detected? [13:06] hclhdj: what version of ubuntu are you using? [13:06] magnetron i typed in "airmon-ng stop ath0 " ans i says "run it as root" [13:07] brayden, no cant find it [13:07] magnetron: "9.0.4" [13:07] ThorB: add "sudo" in front [13:07] hclhdj: ok, and you got the deb from the WineHQ website? or what? [13:07] gartral yes but i cant get it to work i have gon into alsa mixer too [13:07] ThorB: thats safe to run as root, you need too be root to read from your wifi card [13:07] magnetron: yes! :) [13:07] un|matrix, ooooh best bet its to start from start and stoping anything that starts up on login, than check processes and stoping them. However not being my system and im not actually there I dont know how to go about helping you any better than this [13:08] skysurfer36: ok, applications>preferences>sounds and see if your devices are set right [13:08] gartral ill give it a go [13:08] magnetron: and when i run wine ,i will give me error-----"/usr/bin/../lib/libc.so.6: invalid ELF header" [13:08] un|matrix, you could check system log in /var/log while logged in through rescue mode but thats cli [13:08] Pirate_Hunter: I'm not sure, but I'm suspecting PulseAudio might be the cause... Could it do that? [13:08] Norpan111, well compiz does sorta control the fancy appearances and all, i think [13:08] hclhdj: ok, try this: first remove wine using the package manager. then add the repository that WineHQ mentions. then install wine again using synaptic (it will then get the latest version) [13:09] hello. I've got an encrypted / partition, several encrypted external drives and another encrypted internal drive. / gets unlocked by a password prompt at boot, all external drives get automatically unlocked by g-v-m without prompting for the password (stored in the keyring), but the second internal drive is ignored by g-v-m. Is there a way to get it mounted without asking me for my password? [13:09] magnetron: and i check the libc.so.6,this file is link to /lib/libc-2.0.so [13:09] un|matrix, not sure pulseaudio has been the cause of many things, check the log that would be the first thing to do (/var/...) [13:09] magnetron: and i check the libc.so.6,this file is link to /lib/libc-2.9.so [13:10] brb [13:10] hclhdj: try my solution first, then come back to me [13:10] brayden, okey [13:10] Pirate_Hunter: how do the logs work? i should look into .0 files or files? [13:11] magnetron: this packeg is the latest version..................for 9.0.4 [13:11] hclhdj: did you try my slution yet? [13:11] !info pycracker [13:11] Package pycracker does not exist in jaunty [13:11] magnetron: wait [13:11] hey guys, how can I make a screenshot of a terminal (like say to take a screenshot of an ssh session) [13:12] Hajuu: press alt+printscr [13:12] hi [13:12] Martin_vW: NOT running in x :P [13:13] can any1 tell me that updating my system will effect my computer speed or not [13:13] Hajuu: you could use screen. It should be able to dump the console contents to a file. [13:13] hajuu, u cant take a screenshot if your not running in X, you neeed to writ the text to file [13:13] Martin_vW: I can get the screen contents just fine [13:13] un|matrix, errrh well using cli would be something like command: cd /var/log | ls -a | nano [log file(s)] you want to look at | there are many which is the one you want errrh just going to have to look for it [13:13] but for stuff like... Ncurses [13:13] it wont work [13:13] it just comes up garbled [13:13] magnetron elky do you want a lshw to get an idea of my system? its rather pathetic [13:13] I need an actual image [13:14] un|matrix, you might want to ask again if someone may help you who can actually tell you where to start looking for errors [13:14] Pirate_Hunter: I know, i'm just not sure which logfiles to look in. [13:14] if i completely update my ubuntu with update manager will my speed slow [13:14] Hajuu: then why are you doing it outside of X? I don't think that it's possible to take images in a VT. [13:14] Help me please! to buy one of these webcams!!! which module supports ubuntu? 1- camara quickcam logitech connect usb MM720LOG70 2- camara genius videocam eye 312 300k 1.3 mega pixel (microfono) 3- webcam 480 pixel de resolucion usb 2.0 Markvision [13:15] Anyone got any tips on making SATA performance NOT suck?

[13:15] richj: you mean: ssh into the machine. :) [13:15] back now [13:15] yes i do [13:15] yes, that would be another possible way. [13:15] dont tell anyone though ;) [13:15] the problem isnt with connecting to the server [13:15] im connected ok === faldo is now known as faldo_gia [13:16] I just need to, from the shell, render an output of say 'nano' [13:16] my kingdom for sata suckitude [13:16] to an image [13:16] because I cant display ncurses data in my client [13:16] only images and plaintext [13:16] Hajuu, with a remote view in x, you could take a pic [13:17] a remote view in x eh [13:17] I can do that probably === faldo_gia is now known as faldo [13:17] imperfect-: What's the problem? What does 'hdparm -t /dev/sdX' say? [13:17] Slart, i have bought a webcam and doesnot work on ubuntu, so i go to the store and they gave me 3 modules of webcam a,d i want to know if any of them supports on ubuntu or not, can u help me and tell dude? [13:17] Hajuu, only thing I can think of [13:17] how do I do that all on a shell though? I have x but no actual display [13:17] un|matrix, hope you get it sorted another possible thing could be xorg.conf setting might want to look at that im sure sure jaunty changed a lot of things from intrepid still like i said its hard to know the causes could be many :s [13:18] Hajuu ?? [13:18] Martin_vW: it's well documented on the forums that while heavy disk reads/writes are happening the system is damn near unuseable [13:18] magnetron: still this problem:(--wine: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/bin/../lib/libc.so.6: invalid ELF header [13:18] un|matrix, i'll be back later, hopefully, need to popout now take care [13:18] Pirate_Hunter: thank you [13:18] :P [13:19] Hajuu: you need another computer running e.g. a full Ubuntu install with gnome UI. Then open gnome-terminal, ssh into the machine you want to take a screenshot of, and press ALT+Print Scr. [13:19] Martin_vW, why + alt? [13:19] Martin_vW: Sigh [13:19] I have a complete ubuntu install [13:19] wolf23: did you check out the link ubottu sent you? [13:19] but its meant to be automated [13:19] magnetron: now the wine's version is 1.0.1 [13:19] richj: alt reduces the screenshot to the selected window. [13:19] obviously I can take a screenshot by hand [13:19] ahh [13:19] ok [13:20] Slart, yes [13:20] hdparm says 106Mb/s [13:20] can any one help me please [13:20] But as I said [13:20] If I'm rsyncing two partitions I can't do jack on my machien [13:20] Just upgraded to Jaunty from Intrepid ( I think... version 8.x ) -- amarok is not detecting sound correctly. Is this a known issue? [13:20] wolf23: I found at least one of the models you mentioned on that list [13:20] updating my system will slow my computer speed or not [13:21] imperfect-: oh, yeah, I noticed that too. But is this SATA related? I though copying from one partition to another on the same hard disk must be slow, because the heads are always move from one spot to read to another to write. [13:21] Martin_vW: Different drives. [13:22] Martin_vW: I've not noticed similar issues under windows 7/suse or anything else [13:22] om26er: updating your system should not slow your computer, only while the update is in progress, because it's installing many files. [13:22] Martin_vW: and I've read a ton of people with similar experiences in the forums [13:22] hey guys [13:22] ok... perhaps someone can tell me where the sound configuration was hidden in amarok, then? I can't even get to anything to see what the 'default' that it keeps using really is.. [13:22] i cant turn on/off my wifi on my eee [13:22] thanks for the reply [13:22] how do i do that [13:23] om26er:which version of ubuntu you are using === andrew_ is now known as Guest46814 [13:23] cube: not even by disabling wifi in the network manager? [13:23] imperfect-: ah, I see. Never looked into that before, but I'm reading https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/119730 now [13:23] general question, if i burned a cd and i feel like notto wait for the iso to be verified, can i stop the verification without harming the burned cd? [13:24] kram: afaik once the verification phase starts the cd is finished.. [13:24] Slart: well, i read the little light will be on if one or both of bluetooth and wifi is on. how do i turn both off? [13:24] kram: so you should be able to abort it without any problems [13:24] thnx,, [13:25] Martin_vW: nod nod. I miss the days of dma magic. [13:25] cube: I don't really know how the eee pc handles things.. but you can disable the bluetooth software by doing a "sudo /etc/bluetooth stop" [13:25] My screen resolution is set to default 1920x1440 everytime i relog, same with boot up screen. I want it to be 1280x800. but it resets every time, and it's driving me nuts trying to fix it for weeks now :c [13:25] Martin_vW: *tips a 40 in IDE's memory* [13:25] does noone know how to get the source for the rtl8187 mac80211 driver?

I'd like to test this on my computer. [13:27] cozmoz: then I guess it's a bug in wine.. you can try asking in #winehq .. perhaps there is a work around [13:27] !info iostat [13:27] Package iostat does not exist in jaunty [13:28] Slart I have posted a massege there, but there's now respons yet [13:28] Slart: sysstat [13:28] vm/io are tools in that package [13:28] ah.. systat it is [13:28] Could someone help me finishing the port forwarding in firestarter.

[13:46] is it necessary to have the size of the swap space to be as big as the ram? [13:46] Guest54297: No. [13:46] for hibernation and sleep? [13:46] this is something I'd like to know too [13:47] magnetron, you asked earlier for specifics about my issue, hence me asking if you are able to help me with it. I thought you were doing some searching on it, but i'll ask again in a few minutes to the channel. Thanks [13:47] some people even say that swap should be 2times your ram... wich sounds silly [13:47] magnetron: not even to get hibernation and sleep to work? [13:47] s3r3n1t7: it's impossible for me to know if i'll be able to answer your questions, until you post the specifics [13:48] bajs [13:48] Guest54297: to get suspend-to-disk you'll need the swap to be larger than the RAM. you asked if it was necessary in general. the answer was no. [13:48] magnetron, i have posted them, as far as my knowledge goes. If i have missed something, please tell me so i can find it out. [13:48] Question? dose anybody know how to reset or bypass the bios? i have a laptop that i forgot the master password on it has a pheonix bios...? [13:48] Impossible..

[13:50] storm-zen: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/amarok-2.1 just add that deb line to the sources.lst file [13:50] Using Amsn on an Acer laptop with a CrystalEye webcam, the other person always gets a white screen when attempting to use webcam.

[13:53] legend2440: Is there more in that repo than just amarok? ( I saw something like 83 packages will be held back and not upgraded... is that a separate issue? ) [13:54] I messed up my Ubuntu guys. When i boot, it goes to shell login, flashes twice, and then no picture. === infomomo is now known as InfoMomo\ === InfoMomo\ is now known as InfoMomo [13:54] infomono.....either your xserver is fucked or your gtk libraries are fucked [13:55] delicowa: more liek xserver brother, because i tried to play with it [13:55] tell us precisely what you tried to install before the mess maybe you could be helped [13:55] delicowa: is there a way to re-initialize it ?\ [13:55] delicowa: mind your language [13:55] delicowa: ATI drivers if i remember well [13:55] what did you do? [13:55] mess with Xorg.conf? [13:56] delicowa: yeah for sure [13:56] i want to confirm that ubuntu 9.04 automatically detects apple wireless mighty mouse.. and not just that, it runs smoothly [13:56] then here is a solution that should help you reconfigure [13:56] delicowa: ok [13:56] i was surprised [13:56] Infomomo: your vedio driver may be crashed [13:56] flash player is very slow [13:56] in ubuntu [13:56] storm-zen: yes there are many packages in that repo. after you upgrade amarok you may want to remove or comment out that lineline from [13:56] start your system and when asked to select a boot option by grub [13:56] Padhu: it is, we got that [13:56] sources.lst [13:56] select the second option [13:57] That was my next question, legend2440, :) . [13:57] ie (single user mode) [13:57] delicowa: did that, the recover boot? [13:57] when that is done you should select Xfix-(Aoption to fix x server) [13:58] Hi all. I get FTBFS on noiz2sa. Would anyone try and reproduce it for me, just to check it's not only my box? [13:58] the restart...hopefully you should be fine [13:58] delicowa: i didm already, it's not fine, it keeps doing the same thing [13:58] one question.. so does compiz is installed by default in ubuntu? i dont need to move anything? [13:58] delicowa: it's ok i will reinstall tonight, most likely Fedora 11 [13:58] nvm, there's already a bug on it [13:58] legend2440: Well, now it's crashing with SIGSEGV. I guess you didn't get that result? [13:59] well in the /etc/X11 folder, when you mess up you Xorg file there is usually a backup [13:59] delicowa: i erased all them [13:59] would anyone know why when i try playing fable: the lost chapter on ubuntu, it makes the user log out? [13:59] look for it it should have a tilde (~) in the name use it contents to replace the original Xorg.conf file [14:00] delicowa: i erased all of them brother :D [14:00] magnetron: .........still this error...."wine: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/bin/../lib/libc.so.6: invalid ELF header" [14:00] magnetron: :( [14:00] so you deleted all the files in X11 [14:00] hmmmm === wet-chan is now known as wet [14:00] :() [14:00] :)( [14:00] delicowa: only the xorg.conf [14:00] storm-zen: actually i've never tried upgrading amarok someone in channel #amarok may have answers for you [14:00] delicowa: forget it brother, i will reinstall, no stress ... [14:01] Hello people, would it be okay if I asked two questions, coming from Windows having installed Jaunty Jackalope :) [14:01] delicowa: i : rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf* [14:01] sure [14:01] Dekko: In case of IRC, don't ask to ask, just ask. [14:01] xorg.config is your display settings n stuff.... [14:01] Sjord: Ok! [14:02] Does anyone know why fable causes ubuntu to log out the user? [14:02] tristan333: what is fable? [14:03] arthur_: i know :S [14:03] it is a game made by microdaoft i think [14:03] microsoft [14:03] My questions are as follows: 1) Where are applications installed on the system when you install them (.deb packages) - I installed MuCommander but can't find the application to make a shortcut. 2) Why doesn't Ubuntu/Debian set up a Program entry for the installed software in the program menu....? :) and 3) How do I add a proper application icon to the shortcuts or "launcher" I make for an application? [14:03] yeah. thats a good option..That was usually mine when i loved to tweak Xorg for performance(in the ancient days of being a newbie of course) [14:04] There SEEMS to be icons in the programs, but has not found a way to choose them. [14:04] Is karmic like unstable ubuntu version? [14:04] Hi, how would I have it so lets say I have users postfix and dovecot (in there own group postfix and dovecot). How would I then have allowed to read files in the ssl-cert group [14:04] Karmic Koala is Alpha still isn't it? [14:04] and jaunty? [14:04] 1) which in terminal should answer 2) it should, if not, the package isn't done properly 3) using alacarte [14:04] Jaunty rocks and is "stable" :) [14:04] Can someone assist in setting up my tv tuner on my laptop [14:04] Jaunty may make me go to Linux for real this time. [14:05] Janhouse, Dekko: Jaunty is stable, Karmic is alpha, unstable until published === silver is now known as Guest10114 [14:05] Dekko: Typically, all program files are installed in /usr/bin [14:05] when do you expect karmic will be released as stable? [14:05] Running it on an OLD AthlonXP 2400+ with 2 GB RAM and Geforce 6600 - and it is GREAT :) RUNS amazingly well. [14:05] Dekko: Typically, icons are added if you install a program using the package manager. [14:06] Sjord: haven't found 'mucommander' under there. I can launch it typing 'mucommander' in a terminal but can't find. [14:06] Using Amsn on an Acer laptop with a CrystalEye webcam, the other person always gets a white screen when attempting to use webcam. This has happened on every version, including the current one in the repo's and the latest beta. [14:06] magnetron: wine is the last version --Version: 1.1.23~winehq0~ubuntu~9.04-0ubuntu1 [14:06] Dekko: Type `which mucommander` in a terminal. [14:06] Sjord: About the icons I haven't been able to find anything. RealVNC was some sort of install script(?) and mucommander was a 'deb' package. [14:07] Sjord: Trying your suggestion [14:07] hclhdj: yes i know you said that 5 times [14:07] hclhdj: did you add the wine repo? [14:08] i am using wine to run fable:the lost chapters, i have added the directx files to make it run in the correct folder, and it opens, but when i try trying a setting up a character and going into the game, the os logs the user out, would anyone know y this is happening [14:09] Sjord: Says that mucommander is in /usr/bin/ just as you said. :) [14:09] tristan333: for help on specific apps in Wine, please join the #winehq IRC channel [14:09] thanks [14:09] must be blind or something [14:09] Dekko: The easiest way to install programs is with the Synaptic Package Manager (under System, Adminstration). This allows you to install a number of programs for which a package is available. Unfortunately, there seems to be no package available for mucommander. [14:09] magnetron: i am sorry !but i can't register the site......:( [14:09] hi [14:10] hclhdj: you don't need to register to the site!!!!!!!! [14:10] Sjord: But can I add the correct icon MYSELF somehow? [14:10] hclhdj: please don't ask me any more questions. [14:10] How can I open a microsoft office publisher using office?

When I used it years ago I built from source. [15:28] mrh: Try the 'w' command to see more details -- it probably shows all terminal windows AND the graphic login. [15:28] Stormx2: that is not working for me [15:28] POPEYE: so if you want them to autoload, add them to the fstab? [15:28] fstab is primarily for automounting, and to setup options like letting users mount [15:28] root can always mount things even if its not listed in fstab [15:29] Stormx2: when i try with click drag nothing happens.. when i try with right.. it just move to the other workspace [15:29] mespejel: Have you actually enabled the the cube?

[15:33] what are possible reasons for not having any sound on my ubuntu 9.04 on a acer aspire 6935 [15:33] !sound [15:33] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[15:34] lucian: what do you mean? [15:34] kiwi ubuntu [15:34] grawity, thanks again [15:34] witch 1 is best [15:35] lucian: There is no best. YOu choose the oe you like. [15:35] *one [15:35] xbuntu :-? [15:35] lucian, it really depends on your hardware, the reason why you want to use ubuntu etc. [15:35] hi guys, I have Ubuntu and just installed emacs. When I run emacs command in the terminal a GUI emacs starts. Is emacs a GUI text editor? I thought it's cli [15:35] Mango1: emacs-nox can be cli [15:35] lucian: Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Xubuntu only differ by their GUIs - Ubuntu uses Gnome, Kubuntu uses KDE, Xubuntu uses XFCE. (Xfce is the lightest and often used on laptops) [15:35] lucian: depends on what you want. I like Ubuntu running KDE [15:35] but kubunt or ather have better hardware support or what? [15:36] lucian, no [15:36] lucian: All *ubuntu distros are the _same_ except for the GUI. [15:36] Myrtti: most developers use it in cli mode, right? like vim [15:36] * grawity uses Xubuntu with Gnome [15:36] how to make .deb package? [15:37] trying to compile for the first time and am missing required libs and tools, but not sure which ones the error was for glib-2.0 and gio2.0 but there is not a direct correspondence in synaptic. anyone know which packages i should apt-get install? [15:37] ow i didn't know that kubuntu stands from KDE+ubuntu :X [15:37] Mango1: I use it in gui myself, http://www.flickr.com/photos/myrtti/2867071011/ (though I don't develop that much stuff) - it's up to your own personal preference [15:37] KDE are the masters on GUI [15:37] :X [15:37] ggg1: build stuff from tarballs ... but after ./configure and make run checkinstall [not '(sudo) make install' ] [15:37] what's the command to install kde in ubuntu 9.04?

[15:39] ok without unix [15:39] lucian: Not always [15:39] it's just dos [15:39] Myrtti: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop?? [15:39] ggg1: works. [15:39] can someone help me with my grub problem?

[15:40] or mac [15:40] lucian: Unix, Linux, BSD ... it's all the same - you have a shell (bash) and you have the option to install a graphic interface (KDE, IceWM, GnOME, whatever). [15:40] channel french? [15:41] lucian: you're totally out of it. The discussion about the lack/excistance of GUI should be elsewhere, for example #ubuntu-offtopic [15:41] !fr [15:41] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [15:41] Gnome is better!! :P [15:41] merci ^ [15:41] although from what i've expirianced unix and BSD are more oriented oncommand-line and les on interface [15:41] hey. i have a acer aspire 6935 with no sound working. i checked if alsa is enabled and it is, but still there is no sound. has anyone an idea?

[15:43] Myrtti: i checked if its enabled, and it is [15:43] is it correct to install gnome "sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop" or anything i have to install before it?? [15:43] ggg: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop might be better, I think. [15:44] metaphlex, you can use apt-file or search at packages.ubuntu.com === anthony is now known as Guest59543 [15:44] GreenDelta: Did you check the link you've been sent?

[15:45] what does it do "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg"? [15:45] ggg: installs xserver-xorg. [15:45] but i worked to hard on this ubuntu instalation to make an reinstall [15:45] GreenDelta, post a topic in ubuntu-forums.org ? [15:45] lucian, so install kubuntu-desktop. [15:45] Stormx2, what is xserver-xorg? [15:45] ggg: why can't you read the package description? [15:46] lucian, what do you want to do remove gnome and install kde? [15:46] and if i install kubuntu desktop it won't change all the settings from ubuntu? [15:46] Myrtti: your screenshots on Flickr are great [15:46] greendelta can you run live cd to test sound [15:46] lucian: no. it just adds KDE to your sessions list in gdm. [15:46] Stormx2: thanks a lot.. do you know what does super>button4 means? is button4 =f4? and what is super button? [15:46] :X and what's the command [15:46] Stormx2, do you mean man xserver? [15:46] Mango1: thx [15:47] mespejel: super is the windows key. button4 is the 4th button on your mouse. [15:47] mespejel: 'Super' is the Windows key - the one with Windows logo. [15:47] mespejel: Button4 is pressed when you scroll up with the mouse wheel [15:47] and if i wan't to retorn to ubuntu default interface (gnome) i'll do just sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop? [15:47] well for me is the apple key lol [15:47] mespejel: (Scroll down = Button5) [15:47] grawity: thanks for the info [15:47] Myrtti: what do you study? [15:47] bye everyone [15:47] mespejel: Well, I don't know the APple keyboard equivalents [15:47] thanks a lot [15:47] i have another problem: although i have no proxy activated, apt-get trys to connect through one. where can i change the proxy for apt-get? [15:48] Myrtti: do you know Textmate? [15:48] lucian: You'll still have Gnome after installing KDE. [15:48] does the "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" automatically do "apt-get install gnome-core" ?? [15:48] ggg: Yes [15:48] Mango1: tried it, didn't like. [15:48] lucian, one thing that will help is holding onto the files in /home that config desktop enviros [15:48] ggg: dpkg --info xserver-xorg [15:48] any program in terminal tries to connect through this proxy... [15:48] Myrtti: do you have a mac? [15:49] !nvidia | densou [15:49] densou, please see my private message [15:49] Stormx2, dpkg-deb: failed to read archive `xserver-xorg': No such file or directory [15:49] grawity: yeah it was the apple icon button the equivalent. same thing.. wow zoom in is amazing, very nice function [15:49] lucian, this is really quite straightforward. install kubuntu-desktop gives you all the packages a regular kubuntu install would give you, on top of your existing gnome packages. In GDM, you can choose whether to use GNOME or KDE. To go back to GNOME, you choose "GNOME" from the sessions list. [15:49] specially for pics [15:49] mespejel: Ah, playing with Compiz? :P [15:49] yeah first time [15:50] Mango1: nope [15:50] is there a guide on how to upgrade gutsy now that the repository has been shutdown? [15:50] Mango1: xubuntu with cairo-dock [15:50] ok [15:50] !upgrade > mattrepl [15:50] mattrepl, please see my private message [15:50] KUbuntu-Desktop -engage [15:50] Loading.....

[15:52] yeah, I should have been more specific. I can read those instructions fine, but since the gutsy repos have been shut off, "apt-get install update-manager-core" won't work [15:52] Stormx2, i ran this dpkg --info xserver-xorg, result : dpkg-deb: failed to read archive `xserver-xorg': No such file or directory , what is the problem? [15:53] mattrepl: in the instructions in the wiki should be a section about how to upgrade from gutsy [15:53] ggg: seems dpkg can't find the .deb. [15:53] ggg: Why are you so interesting in what it does? Can't you open Synaptic or Add/Remove Programs and look at it? [15:53] Myrtti: 8*7=?

[15:54] lucian: Try doing a sudo apt-get update first. [15:55] ok [15:55] Stormx2, why would i go to synaptic, for xserver-xorg ???? [15:55] ggg, you asked earlier what it was. Well, in synaptic you can see the package's description [15:55] Though why you're so intent on finding out is beyond me. A quick google search will reveal to you that X.org is an X server.

Information and installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Songbird [15:56] Myrtti: the instructions do not give a way to do a network upgrade of gutsy now that the gutsy repos have been shut off [15:56] why ctrl+c doesn't work in terminal ?

[15:56] mintux1: Because copy is ctrl+shift+c in gnome-terminal [15:57] Myrtti: sorry! [15:57] I just need to get the update-manager-core package [15:57] Stormx2, use synaptic to install and to remove, only one line description about a package in synaptic,that's not enough to know about a package [15:57] i want to know the command to list the devices on my pc [15:57] Stormx2: no when I run a process like ping yahoo.com I close this process with ctrl+c [15:58] ggg: well have a look here then http://tinyurl.com/nmzwzy [15:58] mintux1: You do indeed. What's your point? [15:59] mintux1: or do you mean ctrl+c has stopped closing programs? [15:59] Stormx2: yes [15:59] mintux1, is this for all programs, or just one currently running? [15:59] Stormx2: for stop program run in terminal I use it [15:59] Does anyone know the website that is like synaptic manager but with more [16:00] spursncowboys, getdeb? [16:00] thanks [16:00] spursncowboys, what other packages do you need?

[16:00] I stumbled across while doing something and didn't have the chance to check it out. Just curious [16:01] spursncowboys, stumbled across what? [16:01] the website [16:01] Ah, I see.

[16:18] bernz: I have tried OSS and Pulse, with no results [16:18] om26er, #videolan [16:18] bernz: I had no issue with Intrepid [16:18] some1 can help me set up an ftp server ? [16:18] om26er, VLC doesn't have fullscreen controls afaik. [16:19] stormx2: can i run ubuntu on a 1.6ghz processor and 512 ram? [16:19] WIGGMPk, hmm, that sucks; i'm sorry, i can't help you any further; i'm not that familiar with sound problems yet; my only current issue is i can't start a jack server (without running it manually as root) [16:19] yes [16:19] mask: Yep. [16:19] its a toshiba laptop [16:19] Don't expect it to be fast, though. [16:19] my cooler isnt working normally [16:19] yea thats what y concern was [16:19] my [16:19] with GRUB, is (hd2) equivalent to my sdc? [16:20] guest1, yes. [16:20] what is the best requirements for ubuntu? [16:20] You can run ubuntu on a 1.0ghz pentium 3 and 300mb of ram but it sucks [16:20] How can I run a program on a different x display and/or screen from the console? Like for any program, I dont want like an option for each program heh [16:20] mask: If it runs too slow, try using xubuntu. [16:20] what is xubuntu? [16:20] Stormx2, my cooler is working slowly === Cosmo1|sleeping is now known as Cosmo1 [16:20] Stormx2: drat, grub doesn't think hd2 exists even though I mounted sdc [16:20] Hajuu, http://tinyurl.com/kpc4vm first result [16:21] !xubuntu [16:21] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [16:21] edl2203, your cpu fan? [16:21] Stormx2, yes === body is now known as Guest66100 [16:21] edl2203, so replace it. [16:21] mask, running Ubuntu here on 1.6Ghz, 1024MB Ram. Works splendid :-) [16:21] oh ok znh [16:21] Stormx2 man witch is the command to seitch betwen KDE and GDM? [16:21] I ran ubuntu on 1.55GHz, 768MB ram for a few years. Til last summer, infact [16:21] Stormx2, it was fine with XP [16:22] It wasn't fast, but it was faster than XP [16:22] i'll upgrade my ram then kick out xp [16:22] plz any body tell me a good video player [16:22] edl2203, ubuntu has no say in how fast your cooler runs unless you run some specialist apps. [16:22] om26er, VLC. [16:22] I would love to get a dual core atom and make a mythtv box [16:22] with no fullscreen controls [16:23] om26er, VLC doesn't have fullscreen controls. [16:23] Not graphical ones, anyway. [16:23] that's y i am asking for a good video player [16:23] om26er, and that's why I'm responding with VLC [16:23] Stormx2, It does recently [16:23] znh, really? [16:23] wicked. I just use it with my remote control :) [16:23] Stormx2, yesterday it had. was a windows workstation though [16:23] HOW KNOWS HOW TO SWITCH BETWEN kde AND gmd? [16:23] Impossible.. [16:23] a good player has a fullscreen control featuree [16:24] * bernz recommends mplayer for all your a/v playback needs [16:24] om26er, what would be the point in full screen if you had a gui sitting in it [16:24] !shout | lucian [16:24] gdm" [16:24] lucian: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [16:24] Stormx2, how do i find out what is the model of my fan [16:24] ok [16:24] make it cleat [16:24] lucian, install kubuntu-desktop. log out. press "session". Was that worth shouting about? [16:24] clear [16:24] edl2203, open your case, read the model off it. [16:24] yes :P:)) [16:24] om26er, then your idea of "good" is different to mine. [16:25] Stormx2, I mean by terminal [16:25] a good this does not have flaws [16:25] anyone know how I can tell GRUB to define as root a disk it doesn't seem to think exists? (even though I have it mounted) [16:25] edl2203, fans don't supply model/make to the mobo [16:25] I seem to be missing a printer configuration application. I am using kubuntu and it is not in any of my menus. My laptop has it in System menu... [16:25] i need redtube [16:25] They usually just spin. Some provide RPM data. I haven't come across one that reports its make/model. [16:26] guest1, i would say GRUB does stuff before any disks are "mounted"; it's a different stage of the boot process, really... do you mean GRUB doesn't "see" the disk at stage1? [16:26] (erm, at stage2 rather) [16:26] juan-pablo, well done? [16:26] Stormx2, i see, how do i access my pidgin acount to msn [16:26] can anyone tell me what package provides setenv? [16:27] flash player is very slow on my netbook but it worked well on windows xp [16:27] bernz: the first stages of GRUB uses BIOS io. [16:27] edl2203: What does that mean? :/ [16:27] Hajuu setenv is a shell command. [16:27] Walex, yes, i made a mistake and corrected it; i meant stage2 when i typed stage1 at first [16:27] bash: setenv: command not found [16:27] *shrug* [16:28] Hajuu: 'setenv' is a builtin command in csh/zsh shells. The bash equivalent is 'export FOO=somevalue' [16:28] Hajuu, try 'set' -- are you trying to look at/change env vars? [16:28] ah cool [16:28] heh [16:28] :D [16:28] Hajuu, try 'set | less' to actually be able to read stuff ;-) [16:28] bernz: I installed 9.04 on spare hd, it messed up mbr of my windows hd0 so I fixed that yesterday, now I'm trying a fix I found on a fedora forum but grub> root (hd2,0) gives me a 'Selected disk does not exist' error [16:28] Stormx2, there is this application called pidgin, it has a msn client option, i tried to log in, but it didnt work [16:28] edl2203, did you get an error message? [16:29] Good evening. I have got a computer (let's call it Server) with Ub. 9.04 on board and two network cards. First card goes to ADSL modem, second card goes to Win XP computer. How do I share Server's internet connection with Windows XP computer? Any links/solution keywords would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. === Cream is now known as Guest19099 [16:29] guest1, you can do 'root (' and then press TAB to see the drives GRUB "sees"... also, remember GRUB starts counting at zero, so maybe you mean 'root (hd1,0)' (for disk 2) [16:29] Stormx2, log in failure [16:29] Guest28989: I know Firestarter can set up internet connection sharing/bridging, and there are plenty of guides online. [16:29] edl2203: Ask in #pidgin :) === Guest19099 is now known as CR34M [16:30] I'm trying to use a command in bash that contains the string I think I need to escape it. How do I do that? [16:30] Stormx2, cool, thanks for everything. [16:30] benc, prefix with backslash for literals that are "reserved" (e.g. "hello there" -> "hello\ there" [16:30] hello .. this may sound stupid but i install something and i cant found it.. how can i search for an application i just install [16:30] Guest28989, you just need to set iptables to forward ip packets between interfaces. [16:31] benc: quoting it should be sufficient. enclose it in single quotes, e.g. somecommand --option=' ' [16:31] benc, using quotes will allow spaces inside pathnames as well, e.g. 'hi there' -> '"hi there"' [16:31] bernz: root (+tab) gives command options and doesn't look for disks. The device name for the drive I'm trying to use is dev/sdc1 (hence I thought hd2,0 should work). [16:31] I'm trying to compile FiSH-irssi.v0.99 using MIRACL but im running into problems, Anyone up for looking at the compile output? [16:31] ubuntu managed to crash on my 2nd boot. even the mouse froze. never had that in XP [16:31] durt: iptables is firewall-like application if I remember right? [16:31] mespejel: Nifty trick for finding executable names: dpkg -L packagename | grep /bin [16:32] Actually, miss of the slash before "bin" [16:32] off*, gah. [16:33] Guest28989, no, iptables IS the firewall (packet filter) that is in every linux kernel. Scripts (firewall apps) just change the settings of it [16:33] guest1, "root (" (open paren) and then TAB doesn't try to list 'hd0, hd1, ...' for you? weird. works for me... but yeah, /dev/sdc should map to (hd2,0) ... sometimes GRUB has trouble seeing stuff like SATA drives or "indirectly" connected hardware [16:33] OK, I've just saved myself from a frozen SDLMAME with Ctrl+Alt+F1. X still seems to be running, how do I get back to it? [16:33] bernz, Stormx2: single and double quotes don't work. escaping \& also doesn't help [16:34] Rhapsody hit ctrl+alt+F7 I think [16:34] hello&friend confuses the bash [16:34] flash player is very slow === ryaxnb_ is now known as ryaxnbeee [16:34] Guest13513, ufw, that is installed by default should be able to do what you want. [16:34] Frozen_Solid: Thank you very much, that worked. [16:34] bernz: right, I tried both 'root ' and 'root (' [16:34] benc, 'echo hi & echo there' is two commands; 'echo "hi & there"' is only one.. should work [16:34] I mean Guest28989 [16:34] benc, well, what have you tried exactly and what error message/situation do you get? [16:35] Rhapsody np. [16:35] is there some tool available to create makefiles? [16:35] bernz: what works for me is: echo "hello\ friend" [16:36] bernz: if I don't use both quotes and escape the space with \ it doesn't work [16:36] do we have anu good community software for blackberry devices? [16:36] flash player is vvery slow [16:36] plz help [16:36] benc, 'echo hi\ \&\ there' -> "hi & there" (output) [16:36] just got a T-Mobile Blackberry Curve [16:36] guest1, on what interface is your "missing" hd attached? [16:37] is fglrx driver incompatible with linux 2.6.30? [16:37] bernz: not sure why but I need #command "hello\&friend" [16:37] benc, you use one or the other -- double-quote will treat everything as literal, except the closing double-quote; backslash prefix is for following character only, allowing no double-quoted text to still be escaped [16:37] bernz: I made a dirctory in /mnt and then tried chroot (to match the suggestions I was reading) [16:37] hello linux gurus, total newb here. i am trying to get netbook remix installed, but having trouble with the partitioning. my eee pc has xp on one partition, an empty partition, a recovery partition, and another tiny partition whose use i'm not sure about. i want to install linux on the empty partition, how should i do this? [16:37] benc, you shouldn't need to escape a special character inside double-quotes :-/ [16:37] bernz: maybe the escape is related to the command itself [16:38] krappyappy, you'd need to resize your existing windows partition [16:38] bernz: maybe for normal bash command it should work but when my argument is passed to the command (not echo) it complicate stuff [16:38] bernz: thanks [16:38] benc, well, applications might interpret the command-line differently, but the shell should be well-behaved in escaping... PM me your actual cmd line, and i'll see if i spot something weird [16:38] Hey I'm sorry, but what is VirtualBox's IRC channel? [16:38] Nationiant: #VirtrualBox [16:38] Ah! [16:38] Nationiant: #VirtualBox [16:38] is anybody here who use fglrx with 2.6.30 kernel? [16:38] e to n00b [16:38] Stormx2: thanks [16:39] Stormx2: from the disk partitioner, i only see options for creating a new partition, no option for resizing [16:39] krappyappy: Hm. It's been a while since I've installed. Is there some kind of "advanced partitioner" option? [16:39] guest1, hmm... chroot? that's usually for stuff after GRUB (long after, i mean, after you've booted, to keep miscreants away from the main file system) [16:40] who [16:40] i got ubuntu server 8.10 and can't get in to my network with my server since i changed from house [16:40] hello world ! [16:40] i got ubuntu server 8.10 and can't get in to my network with my server since i changed from house , can not resolv ... if i try [16:41] hi, why :set wrapmargin=10 is not wrapping margin as I type? Any Idea? [16:41] Actually, second question. I still logged in on that second command-line session. How do I logout of it? [16:41] Rhapsody: "exit"? [16:41] fyi the latest fieefox update broke my firefox [16:41] Yeah, but how do I get there? Then how do I get back once I exit? [16:42] how to resset the KDE desktop elements to the initial position [16:42] ? [16:42] what's the command? [16:42] Stormx2: yeah that's been my problem, most of the documentation was written for previous versions. it gives options to use the entire disk or to manually set the partitions. i choose manual, and it gives a partition table. i choose the windows partition, and it gives me options to create new partitions. i'm not seeing another layer of options at this point. [16:43] Can someone help me with setting up a ftp server ? [16:43] gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel [16:43] pls give me someone the similar command for kde [16:44] hi all [16:44] Hey everyone, could someone help me out with a networking problem under 9.04 ? [16:44] Hey guys, trying to open a copy of xterm on a certain x display by using: export DISPLAY=":1"; then just running it like normal, but I get this error message: [16:44] Warning: Tried to connect to session manager, Could not open network socket [16:44] Any ideas? [16:45] hello [16:45] Ben_Cs: hello [16:45] Hi! I m using Ubuntu since of Hoary. I have the impression that Jaunty is the worst ubuntu release in its history. What is your experience? [16:45] zoli2k: well, it sure screwed up my box [16:45] zoli2k: I'm quite happy withh jaunty and would have to say that gutsy is in fact the worst [16:45] how do microsoft mice work under ubuntu? (i'm talking about wireless multi button mice) [16:45] bernz: yep, exiting chroot let it recognize the disks with tab. How do I specify target directories then: as /mnt//grub ? (if interested, this is the link I'm looking into: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=170391) [16:46] zoli2k, ime, the best experience was with hardy before the first service pack.. suspend actually worked on my laptop :O after that, it's been pretty static for me [16:46] guest1, ooooooooh, sorry, i'm thinking you are running GRUB at boot time; you're talking about using the GRUB shell while your system is already booted, then, yes? [16:47] hello all, I am running a msi wind and want to switch back to ubuntu. Besides the UI, is there a difference between regular ubuntu and ubuntu netbook redux? [16:47] thenotwist: mykola: I fixed X after update (it is normal after dist update), but I have lot of problems with freezing windows, crappy sound and I m no longer able to use my second monitor :( [16:47] Hey guys, trying to open a copy of xterm on a certain x display by using: export DISPLAY=":1"; then just running it like normal, but I get this error message: [16:47] Warning: Tried to connect to session manager, Could not open network socket [16:47] Any ideas?

[16:48] FiReSTaRT: yep the good old hardy :) [16:48] is there something besides twitterfox for ubuntu? I need to be able to manage more than one twitter account. Is anyone doign this with prism? [16:48] zoli2k: hardy is a long term support release... why not just use that for now :) [16:48] dwaldie » if it there wasn't any, why should they create it? [16:48] bernz: I'm running off the live/install CD for 9.04, trying to get my windows computer to be capable of booting linux off a spare HD I had laying around. [16:48] anyone please? [16:49] hi i am unable to find the .deb package for songbird... is there a repo for intrepid which includes this amazing software ? [16:49] zoli2k, ok not so old, but still.. in any case, my biggest peeves with the recent releases are (in the order of pissoff factor): suspend, built-in mic, hdmi sound [16:49] thenotwist: well, ATI driver. I had to configure X to vesa and download the latest driver from ATI. I know... it is the fault of ATI. [16:49] Ben_Cs: Maybe try it and find out? [16:49] How and where do i montor samaba share?

[16:50] Ben_Cs: In answer to your question, it should work fine. [16:50] but it shouldn't make a difference wheter it's a cable or wireless mouse [16:50] FiReSTaRT: I simply miss the revolutionary 'distribution for humans' approach that made Ubuntu so different few years ago. [16:50] steffan: because i have a refund and the store stopped working with logitech [16:51] Ben_Cs: Ah. [16:51] Glaedr: I'm using X.org.

In windows it works great, with less than 10%. this is with compiz enabled [16:52] Glaedr: Will I get better performance if I use Ubuntu Netbook Redux? [16:53] hi there folks > can someone tell me an archiver ( GUI type ) ;) which is able to pack/unpack rar files ??? [16:53] parapanghelescu: unrar-nonfree [16:53] parapanghelescu, xarchiver [16:53] fudus0: Adobe never really implemented decent acceleration for flash video. [16:53] Psykopaten, he did say GUI type [16:53] Psykopaten / unop > cool > thank you both [16:54] yeap > I think nonrar is a terminal type [16:54] unop, you need the back-end even with xarchiver [16:54] Hodapp, is there any way of fixing it?

I don't remember installing more than that package [16:55] i ame trying to get a static ip but can't find out wath to fill in on "network" [16:55] all flash video plays very badly :/ [16:55] is this the address from me router?? [16:55] fudus0: Not unless you can make Adobe quit half-assing all their Linux support. [16:55] how about 7-zip and Gnozip ?? anyone knows smth about this ??? [16:55] fudus0: You can use youtube-dl.py to get youtube videos into FLVs which mplayer or VLC or whatever will play just fine though [16:55] i ame trying to get a static ip but can't find out wath to fill in on "network" [16:56] Psykopaten, xarchiver can make use of unrar-nonfree and it does if it is installed to handle rar files [16:56] unop: I see [16:56] hi there [16:56] Hello.

[17:05] jp_, otherwise, you can use a proxy to indirect yourself, but there are few risks (technically); you can't easily get "hacked" from IRC, despite all the hype and claims to the contrary [17:05] Hello, how can I easi;ly test my webcam?

[17:06] got ya [17:06] thanks a lot [17:06] jp_: Just know what you're doing, and what others are doing too. You're new to IRC? [17:06] jp_: and perhaps.. above all.. don't believe what weird people on irc tell you ;) [17:06] my flash player ia very slow and i cannot watch youtube [17:06] yes [17:06] it was working perfect on windows [17:06] installed the app [17:06] quick question, how can i send a popup message to another linux user on my network? [17:06] dwaldie: I am using a 64 bit version, would it work ? [17:06] sivel: a general answer.. you can't [17:06] bernz : i gave it another thought, the thing is that with some other pc in the same network as the server i CAN use dyndns to access the server. i mean i check my server after visiting the domain from dyndns [17:06] damn [17:06] om26er, there are some alternatives; search info on "gnash" (GNU flash player) [17:06] thats suprising [17:07] hi [17:07] Psykopaten > I do not find unrar-nonfree on the repository .... [17:07] fresh_prince: I am not sure, but if you hang on I will check..... [17:07] sivel: u need linpopup [17:07] sivel: not really.. if you consider that a linux machine can be anything from a desktop computer to a small handheld device.. [17:07] hi i am unable to find the .deb package for songbird... is there a repo for intrepid which includes this amazing software ? [17:07] I have a little problem, I configured wifi using wpa with /etc/network/interfaces, and at boot, the connection isn't established, but if I do a /etc/init.d/networking restart, it works in an instant [17:07] dwaldie: no it's fine was thinking of reverting to 32bit install [17:07] pronoy: songbird sucks [17:07] I use a wifi pci card [17:07] pronoy: i just use the binaried from the songbird homepage. (i only install it for a single user, not the whole system) [17:08] any clue of why that happens ? [17:08] pronoy: check their site. [17:08] How do I get my network device back? [17:08] jp_: There are a few websites that will tell you the basics about IRC, I would suggest taking a look at those to know what people are sometimes talking about. I back what Slart said about what you would do in real life too. Majority of people belive that because you're in a chatroom you're anonymous, but that isn't the case. [17:08] joining [17:08] kosnick, there are multiple ways for computers to resolves hostnames -> IP address; for example, if your other machine has a 'hosts' file that maps your LAN, you will have no problems; you need to try something that will go out to the "outside" (WAN) and then try to reach in and hit your server from there. in any case, you can sometimes diagnose connection/pathway problems using "traceroute" [17:08] un|matrix: any specific reason ? [17:08] how to install gnash?? [17:08] Hodapp: i can't find a deb package there [17:08] pronoy: yeah it's over-bloated [17:09] un|matrix: overbloated meaning ? [17:09] pronoy: So use the tarball. [17:09] sivel: your chances increase if you say both machines use regular ubuntu... there are some commands like "wall" that will send text to logged in users.. but there is no guarantee it will pop up on the desktop [17:09] pronoy: hogs up all your CPU for pretty much every move u make in it [17:09] I need help installing RadeonHD [17:09] un|matrix: I'm running it now on a CPU that isn't exactly a speed demon. [17:09] Hodapp: there's always this issue of satisfying dependencies manually using the tar.gz file [17:09] Hodapp: you must be very patient [17:09] sivel: easiest way is to log on to the other machine using ssh and using some kind of notification app [17:09] un|matrix: No, I'm fucking impatient with applications. [17:09] fresh_prince: ok [17:09] hmm [17:09] I dont know how, and the manual's instructions dont work [17:10] pronoy: Why don't you load the tarball and tell me what such dependencies still need to be filled? [17:10] un|matrix: in that case what music player do you recommend [17:10] Hodapp: well then i dunno what u did but i hate it because it's slow [17:10] pronoy: rhythmbox [17:10] un|matrix: what bout banshee ? [17:10] with this linpopup, is there any way to have the daemon running in the background, and starting up with the machine?

[17:20] dwaldie: nope.. when you plug the new monitor in you will probably not notice any difference at all.. you will then have to activate the external monitor in some way.. and deactivate the internal one if that's what you want.. [17:20] dwaldie: key combinations might work.. or not.. even odds on that one [17:20] Hello everyone [17:20] slart: thank you [17:21] i used wubi installer does that matter?

[17:25] johnathan, are you here ? [17:26] what I really need to know is how to export the desktop so that I can have emerged Linux/Windows desktop [17:26] Impossible.. [17:27] yeal [17:27] lampliter, just open xdmcp from your serveur, and start X with X -query yourserver -fulscreen with cygwin [17:27] gorp » I tried it, and think firefox is better [17:27] irc.darksin.net [17:27] I also need to figure out how to get a clean audio stream from a USB microphone to the Windows virtual guest. Unfortunately, just exporting the USB device as a pass-through does not generate clean audio [17:27] Hey guys, not sure if anyone has done it before but do you guys know how to get a Thrustmaster controller working ? (it's a USB controller) [17:27] Impossible..

[17:34] X server [17:34] or X client [17:34] Glaedr, no, you need at least a glx capable hardware [17:35] is xming a session manager lampliter ? [17:35] X server , X client X window .......... difference ???

[17:38] gorp, please see my private message [17:38] hi [17:38] any help for repairing broken avi files in ubuntu ? [17:39] hey guys, i'm using 64bit ubuntu jaunty , and I have 4 gigs of "dual channel ram", will i take a major performance hit or minor boost if i add 2 more gigs of NON dual channel ram, for a total of 6 gigs ram (i have swappiness set to 0) so i use ram instead of a swap partition? [17:39] Jenk: broken in what way? [17:39] Hello. When I start /usr/sbin/sshd, I am given a segmentation fault. Adding -ddd gives me the following: http://pastebin.com/m1f7e8c9b . I have not changed anything else relevant since the last time I successfully started up sshd. Does anybody have any suggestion for the cause? I am running Ubuntu 9.04 and using openssh-server for sshd. [17:39] cause i know adding the 2 gigs of non-dual channel will make the 4 gigs act like regular ram [17:39] 4 gigs? what the hell do you have that much for? [17:39] came with the computer [17:39] dont most computers come with 3-4 gigs ram ? [17:40] regarding the unfriendly policy of durt, i'm sorry to leave this room [17:40] binskipy2u: 6GB RAM should be ok with the 64bit version of Ubuntu [17:40] are config files for gconf encrypted by default? [17:40] i think the question was whether adding ram like that unevenly will stop dual channel from working. [17:40] sebsebseb: smplayer does not move beyond a specific time (44:21) or vlc player or totem. [17:40] is dual channel "faster" or use both ram sticks at the same time.. but with 6 wnt it use the ram in "order" [17:41] binskipy2u: and I assume your computer is 64bit since the 4GB RAM [17:41] yes [17:41] binskipy2u: maybe hardware pages like tom hardware help [17:41] i don't really know, but i'd suspect that it won't any longer use dual channel [17:41] binskipy2u: AVI tends to work for people once they got the codec, and AVI support is also closed source, so not much could be done with that [17:41] binskipy2u: and does more ram help. probably yes in any case, how much debends you usage pattern [17:42] thanks, just wondering.. not that i "need" it, but i acquired it for free along with a computer [17:42] and its the same speed as the dualchannel ram in this box now [17:42] sebsebseb: it's not got to do with the codec as other avi files play seamlessly. [17:42] are config files for gconf encrypted by default?... if not rythmbox is pretty badly built (or at least the scrobbler plugin) [17:43] i have 3 ethernet alias. 10.201.202, 10.202.203, 10.210.211. when i try to ping the othe end i am able to ping 201.201, 202.202 and 210.210. These are the alias ip's of the 2 directly connected nic's. But whe i try to get to the 201.1, 202.2 ; the linux tried to route it through 210.211.. and i fail to get to the dest. That is not the correct behaviour right?. any help to sove this? [17:43] Jenk: ok I can't help [17:43] dual channel can be very touchy. i had two different sets of 4gb and it would result in very strange random lockups. the ram had different timings. i replaced it with two identical sets of 4gb and it's working flawlessly now. [17:43] think ill just NOT fix what isnt broken.. and use the computer i acquired as a spare [17:44] came with a 320gig sata2, 2gig ram, asus mobo, dvd burner, dualcore x2 1.9ghz [17:44] won it in a contest [17:46] sebsebseb: thanks for your time though. [17:47] Jenk: ok good luck [17:47] hey what's the name for kiwibuntu desktop package? [17:48] hellooo [17:48] hello [17:48] can anyone help with that? [17:48] does anyone know how to change the values in nm-connection usinng commandline? [17:48] Impossible.. [17:48] why?

[17:50] xbuntu is the fastest from all [17:50] sebsebseb: gconf has readable entries of my passwords [17:50] Dr_Willis: called? [17:51] kabuntu is the slowest [17:51] <``Cube> lol [17:51] <``Cube> why [17:51] and ubuntu it's for everyone:D [17:51] sebsebseb: its always popping up when i run wireless stuff... everyone in here is constantly asking how ti disable it. :) [17:51] lucian: Puppy Linux and Damn Small Linux would probably be faster on older hardware, because they are specifically made for old hardware [17:51] hi does anyone know how i can toggle quickly between keyboard layout preferences? [17:51] I'm in a bit of trouble I think, my distro's repos didn't have the updated packages I wanted so I added some PPA repos that give me updated XFCE and KDE, as well as updated the unsupported repos. I went ahead and installed the lastest XFCE from PPA, but now the unsupported repos ie Backports have gotten updated version. Am I going to start having problems with this mix and match ?

I'm new to Ubuntu Linux and I installed Ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop, Acer Aspire 5630 (maybe I got the number wrong, not looking at it atm)... the problem is - every time I use the Fn buttons to set up the monitor brightness, they work fine but only until the next restart. At the next restart they bump back to full brightness. Power management settings don't seem to fix that. Is there a way to set up a default setting for my monitor bri [18:07] ghtness when the laptop is not running on the battery? [18:07] someone can set ftp up for me :$ [18:08] why? [18:08] How do I enable desktop effects? I get a message that says cannot enable desktop effects. [18:08] i dot succeed [18:08] agetian: ive seen a lcd brightness 'panel applet' you may want to try.

[18:09] I am having trouble enabling my desktop effects. I did not install compiz (just using the default stuff with ubuntu 9.04) and when I first put this updated nvidia 5950 in, it worked fine. But, I got to wondering if things would move faster if I turned it off. It didn't, and now I cannot get it to turn back on. Everytime I try, it has a popup that says the graphic card cannot handle the change. The nvidia X server set [18:09] jj_: bad mount command arguments most likely [18:09] Dr_Willis: Thanks for a suggestion! Is the panel applet a part of the distro or should I download it separately from somewhere? [18:09] agetian: its here .. no idea where it came from. :) [18:09] Dracofodder, do you have a power manager icon in your upper right corner, looks like a little battery [18:09] agetian: its in the repos at least.. [18:09] Dr_Willis, how do i correct this? i have all the backup files on this partition [18:09] Hi peeps, if i want to compile a program in gcc and it is in a folder that i called 'Learning C' within the Documents folder what would i need to type to compile it....i tried gcc /Documents/Learning C/hello.c but it didnt work....can anyone help?

[18:10] Dracofodder, bah sorry not to you [18:10] Glaedr, http://www.pastebin.ca/1460144 [18:10] agetian, , do you have a power manager icon in your upper right corner, looks like a little battery [18:10] Jimi_Neutral: get out of the habbit of using SPACES in file/dir names..it makes life a lot easier [18:11] Jimi_Neutral: cd to the location of the file then try gcc hello.c perhaps. also should work [18:11] usser_: from what I remember, no (not on my laptop atm). Why? Does that appear only when running off of the battery or when using the AC power too? [18:11] hey does ubuntu has IRc channels for every country? [18:11] agetian, yea by default it dissapears when laptop is charged [18:11] Dr_Willis, ok ty i will give that a try quick [18:11] is so can anyone tell me the adres for ubuntu romania [18:11] ?

[18:12] agetian, if its not there you can reach it from system->preferences->power management or something to that extent [18:12] anyone uses apt-build? [18:12] fbc-mx » sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel, then reboot and re-try [18:12] does apt-build really work? [18:12] Dr_Willis, anyway to fix this? [18:12] Dr_Willis, i've tried testdisk and other tools not sure how to fix it... [18:12] usser_: yup I tried using the power management but no matter what level I set there, it bumps me back to full screen brightness every time I restart my laptop (when I'm not using the battery for power) [18:12] jj_: fix what? if you use spaces in a directory name you MUST quote the paths or escape the spaces.. thats BASH basics... [18:12] can someone help in fixing a broken avi file ? [18:13] jj_: oope wrong person. :) heh [18:13] lucian: #ubuntu-ro i believe [18:13] Dr_Willis, lol [18:13] Dr_Willis, i mean the messed up partition :P [18:13] jj_: use proper mount options/arguments.. [18:13] what is the /lib/init directory used for? [18:13] jj_: how do you even know its messed up? what filesystem is it? [18:13] how to make ubunutu faster on my netbook [18:13] Jenk, can you define 'broken'? Are you trying to combine two links, or will something just not play? [18:13] plz tell me [18:14] hmmm rather annyoing when your trying to follow a book to teach you C and you get lots of errors on a hello world printf lol [18:14] Dr_Willis, jfs well im not sure if its messed up but i cannt mout it :( [18:14] Jimi_Neutral: dont use spaces in paths/filenames.. just STOP doing it. :) for one thing.. [18:14] Dr_Willis, i have :) [18:14] MoLoot: the file plays till a specific time (44:21) and gets stuck. [18:14] * Dr_Willis hands out _ to all the space lovers..

[18:14] agetian, hm. try what Dr_Willis suggested [18:15] Jimi_Neutral, then you didnt compile it, if it errors out :) [18:15] usser_: kk, will do, thanks! [18:15] Jimi_Neutral, read the errors then fix the source. its part of programming :) [18:15] Jimi_Neutral: time to find some better guides/learn the basics I guess.. I rarely mess with C. [18:15] Dr_Willis, this is the basics, i am following a tutorial [18:15] ./configure && make && make install :) [18:15] MoLoot: i've tried mplayer and vlc with no luck either. also seeking wont work on mplayer and on vlc it wont work beyond that specific time. [18:16] usser_, i am following a tutorial [18:16] join #gnewsense [18:16] Jimi_Neutral: you may want to find a better tutorial then.. one thats more linux specific. [18:16] usser_, i am a new user to C and learnning from this nook [18:16] plz any body help me make my ubuntu lite [18:16] Jimi_Neutral, pastebin the source code and the error messages [18:16] liter [18:16] Hi guys.. Anyone using inkscape? Do you know why always when printing (either pdf or on paper) it prints the picture and a spare empty page? [18:16] om26er: fire up the package manager start removing stuff I guess.. its rather lite by default anyway [18:16] usser_, ok [18:16] Jimi_Neutral, thats a little offtopic here, but wth [18:17] i am using netbook [18:17] om26er: I would suggest another distro entirely namely : puppy. It is not as polished as ubuntu but it is blazing fast. [18:17] Glaedr, it says it's already installed and the newset version. [18:17] ubuntu rulez man [18:17] Ubuntu and PUPPY linux's AAO variant both work fine on my AAO netbook. :) [18:17] i don;t wanna switch [18:17] om26er, you might want to switch your desktop from gnome to LXDE. [18:17] lxde [18:18] om26er, if its slow for you it doesnt rule, a proper tool for each job. try debian with some lightweight window manager or as somebody mentioned puppy or DSL [18:18] what's that [18:18] om26er: vague terms like 'making lite' and so forth dont help much. what is the actual problem? [18:18] i wanted to compile a simple module but the compiler gives loads of errors [18:18] !lxde | om26er [18:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about lxde [18:18] !info lxde [18:18] lxde (source: lxde-common): Meta-package for the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment.

I just manually re-enabled in System->Administration->Hardware drivers. Hope this works, simple solution if it does. [18:18] om26er: Look it up! It's a Desktop Environment similar to gnome but much lighter [18:18] it's based on openbox. [18:19] Or just run openbox. and build your own desktop :) [18:19] look if i open firefox the hdd led starts blinking and computer become non responsive [18:19] * usser_ cant stand lxde [18:19] usser_, http://www.pastebin.ca/1460154 [18:19] usser_: neither can i. :) for uber-liteness i use jwm+rox filer. [18:19] the same problem is with other apps [18:19] just do a apt-get install lxde, and try it out before removing gnome [18:19] Jimi_Neutral, retrun is not a valid language construct :), change to return, its a typo [18:19] lxde [18:19] MoLoot: is there a solution ? [18:19] hello everybody. [18:20] usser_, omg, i really am a newb [18:20] Dr_Willis, fluxbox+pcmanfm :) [18:20] if i install lxde can i remove gnome [18:20] usser_, im so ashamed, sorry for wasting your time [18:20] usser_: i hate that file manager.. I much perfer rox :) [18:20] om26er, yep [18:20] Dr_Willis, does rox have tabs? [18:20] hello. I just installed Ubuntu on one of those fancy new MSI windtop all-in-ones. I can't get the display to work properly - it's 1366x768, but I can only get 1360x768. Anyone kind enough to help? [18:20] Jimi_Neutral, its alright [18:20] usser_: no idea.. dont think so.. dont need them. :) it has other features i perfer. [18:21] om26er, but try it out first, you might not like it [18:21] i made a mistake and i install ubuntu 64, and now i want to install the 32 version.....any help?? [18:21] quickhand: find out if there is a graphics card driver availalbe system > administaration > hardware drivers === nielsslot_ is now known as nielsslot [18:21] are there any sample pic of the lxde environment anywhere [18:21] jenk I assume that this is a file that you downloaded. Verify that the entire file was downloaded completely... [18:21] cubillos: do a fresh install [18:21] cubillos: why do you want 32? if 64works use it. [18:21] I'm running ubuntu desktop, Can I install ubuntu server on an external usb hard drive then connect it to my ubuntu desktop and run ubuntu desktop and ubuntu server as two seperate systems using the same cpu, mobo and ram? [18:21] sebsebseb: it doesn't volunteer one [18:21] Jimi_Neutral, also main is never void get out of the habit of putting int main(void) [18:21] om26er, lxde.org [18:21] allpurposedavid: no [18:21] quickhand: any idea which card you got? [18:21] it looks like windows? [18:22] sebsebseb: but I ran the moblin live cd and the display worked perfectly [18:22] Jimi_Neutral, int main(int arc, char **argv) is the proper convention [18:22] how??....the cd from the 32 version doesnt start froom boot [18:22] quickhand: what's moblin? [18:22] usser_, sorry thats what the book is telling me to do, im completely new at this [18:22] om26er: lxde has a homepage. [18:22] allpurposedavid: You cannot run two OS's at once on the same computer without virutalizing [18:22] om26er, can look like whatever you wish [18:22] is it stable [18:22] i need some dual booting solutions ... [18:22] does someone know if iphone 3.0 tethering works with Linux? [18:22] mean does it cause any problems? [18:22] sebsebseb: it's linux for mobiles, mobile+linux=moblin [18:22] erUSUL, okay thanks [18:22] om26er: as stable as anything else. its just openbox + a file manager + a few other tools. [18:23] quickhand: yeah this kind of thing happens, sometimes something dosan't work in one distro, but it does in another [18:23] MoLoot: yes , you assume right. but my friend downloaded it and i just have the file.Is there a way to verify the download was completed ? [18:23] om26er, yes, but thats relative isn't it? [18:23] om26er: try it - see if it works for you [18:23] Jimi_Neutral, yea some books may skip this notion at the begging as to not confuse the reader, but it really should be int argc, char **argv [18:23] usser_, what does that mean [18:23] Jimi_Neutral, those two variable are for passing command line parameters to the program [18:23] quickhand: with Ubuntu you might have to install a driver yourself, and that's no fun, and things can go wrong with xorg and uh [18:23] ok man thanx [18:23] sebsebseb: kbowing it works on one linux variant is a good sign. Any ideas? [18:23] quickhand: lspci which graphics card do you have? [18:24] sebsebseb: I'm willing to try, just need a little guidance. Running jaunty, but all my xorg settings seem to be ignored. [18:24] quickhand: run lspci in the terminal [18:24] Dr_Willis: what are the other commands for finding out a graphics card? [18:24] i forgot to tell that i am using ubuntu netbook remix will lxde also work [18:24] usser_, ok i think i need to learn how to complie and run and stuff first lol, im not using an IDE cause someone said that would be counter-productive [18:24] sebsebseb: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller [18:25] MoLoot: is there a way to verify ? [18:25] Hi, is there a program that works as an "audio diary" on ubuntu ? [18:25] Jimi_Neutral, try this http://www.pastebin.ca/1460160 [18:25] quickhand: Intel that explains it [18:25] usser_, so i have just run the command gcc hello.c and it has made another file called a.out [18:25] om26er: it should, but you should test it yourself [18:25] Jimi_Neutral, ides are not counter productive, its just i wouldnt reccomend using it when you just learning [18:25] Jimi_Neutral, a.out is an executable [18:25] Jimi_Neutral, run it with ./a.out [18:25] quickhand: Intel graphics cards are a bit, well bad in Ubuntu 9.04, because of a lack of a driver or whatever [18:26] !intel | quickhand [18:26] quickhand: Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [18:26] sebsebseb: what to do? should I do an intrepid install? Intrepid still uses the proprietary drivers right? [18:26] usser_, ok ty....its just the book says i should have three files but im gessing that it is written for windows users [18:26] jenk compare the filesizes of the original file to the downloaded copy. An more advanced way would be to compare the md5sums. [18:26] quickhand: Intel has open source drivers, there should be something built in to the distro really [18:26] quickhand: there's just some kind of issue with 9.04, release notes have some more details as well [18:26] !notes | quickhand [18:26] quickhand: Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) release notes can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/ReleaseNotes [18:26] quickhand, ubuntu hasnt used intel proprietary drivers for a while, its just that in 9.04 they majorly rewrote xorg and the new driver is a little quirky [18:27] Hello, can someone help me on how to download xine-vdpau from this place ? https://launchpad.net/~brandonsnider/+archive/ppa also is this a safe place to download builds ? [18:27] hi.. [18:27] Jimi_Neutral, yea theoretically you should have hello.o hello.c and hello.exe [18:27] where can i get RT Kernel? === kermit- is now known as gliss [18:27] quickhand: I thought it was 8.10 where it got majorly rewritten? [18:27] quickhand: ,but it's still 9.04 with the Intel issues, and not 8.10 [18:27] usser_, hmm well im using linux and i have hello.c and a.out and thats it [18:28] quickhand: whoops I was meant to message usser_ with that [18:28] i am using ubuntu jaunty. [18:28] Jimi_Neutral, its alright, you dont have to bother with it [18:28] Help! Cannot enable desktop effects. [18:28] need RT kernel for low letacy [18:28] usser_, ok cool [18:29] sebsebseb, in intrepid it worked fine, to be honest i dont have any problems on jaunty either, both of my laptops work fine [18:29] this site contains latest kernel: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [18:29] but what about RT kernel? [18:29] quickhand: to be honest 9.04 isn't that great compared to 8.10, so sure put 8.10 on [18:29] usser_, how do you go back a dirctory....im in /documents/learningc but i wanna go back to /documents but CD Documents is not working [18:29] quickhand: unless you want to mess around trying to get some Intel driver working in 9.04, and trust me that's no fun at all [18:29] Jimi_Neutral: cd .. [18:30] quickhand: I solved my intel 945 GM problems fairly well in jaunty jackalope [18:30] lstarnes, wicked, ty [18:30] Jimi_Neutral, first linux is case sensitive, to go back one directory just type cd .. [18:30] fbc-mx: what video card do you have in ? I just resolved a problem activating my desktop effects with an nvidia driver. [18:30] mohan_: what about the linux-image-rt package in the repositories? [18:30] Hello [18:30] sebsebseb: I also have to get the touchscreen working properly. That's going to be a nightmare.

[18:33] Cloudef: yes, i want the GPU to render video, not the CPU [18:33] un|matrix: when i had ati card compiz made browsing choppy [18:33] fbc-mx: my issue was, when I went into System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers my nvidia driver was not chosen as a valid driver. all I had to do was pick it, and restart. and my effects are working again. I don't have an ATI driver here to test, so am unsure if that works the same. [18:33] Cloudef: and even if i disable compiz, it's not that much better [18:33] facebook.com/ubuntu doesn't seem to be taken [18:33] somebody should take it [18:33] un|matrix: What GPU do you have? [18:33] Cloudef: amd 3500+ [18:33] un|matrix: And do you have DirectRendering enabled? [18:33] Dracofodder, I have intel.video. I show no proprietary drivers needed. [18:34] Cloudef: yes [18:34] nitrate: any idea? [18:34] vladtsepesh: you may try to reinstall ubuntu using the new display [18:34] un|matrix: Very weird, indeed [18:34] lstarnes: any idea? [18:34] un|matrix: What version of opera? [18:34] mohan_ : create one yourself ? [18:34] Cloudef: it's not really opera's issue, it happens in every browser [18:35] Cloudef: 10 beta tho, it's still much better than 9.5 [18:35] nitrate: oh.. ok.. [18:35] fbc-mx: oops.. wrong page came up when I hit pastebin link... weird. umm. intel video has a whole series of issues, I thought I saw something about the drivers not being brought along with 9.04 and having to back rev. someone else here probably knows a heck of lot more about that than I do. sorry [18:35] un|matrix: I agree :-) [18:35] patch: no other way? [18:35] un|matrix: Hmm.. your computer does not seem to be the proplem the ATi card could cause it. They never been good with Linux, not atleast for me [18:35] vladtsepesh: you should install a new ubuntu on a new partition [18:35] mohan_ : aptitude search linux | grep linux-rt [18:36] un|matrix: Where did you install the ATi driver?

All I want to do is run my lineout to my surround sound, or my headphones to my headphones lol [18:43] usser_, im running gcc from the terminal but is it a gui that i can actually see as well, like an IDE would be [18:43] hi ofir_ what's your problem? [18:43] ofir_: of course it's the support channel, just ask your question [18:43] its about wine [18:43] and games [18:43] you've missunderstude me [18:44] ofir_ many games don't run with wine [18:44] i was asking for a runing proces lister [18:44] QUIT [Leaving] [18:44] Jimi_Neutral, why do you need a gui? i just a use a text editor with syntax highlight to write code and gcc command to compile [18:44] something like task manager in windows [18:44] ofir_: I suggest checking Wine site for wine proplems there is good AppDb for game troubleshooting [18:44] lucian: yes that's what I meant [18:44] Jimi_Neutral, if you need something lightweight that would compile your code without leaving text editor try geany [18:44] lucian: add system monitor to your panel === ___D______a_____ is now known as DaZ [18:45] usser_, i learned computing on windows, i guess im just not used to being not being able to see the app thats doing the work [18:45] usser_, not everyone is pro like you [18:45] lucian: then right click on it [18:45] lucian: open system monitor [18:45] dotblank, geany is not hard, besides there's nothing pro about using gcc. [18:46] ofir_: it depends on the game, some work rather well in Wine, others need configuring, also GNU/Linux has good native games as well [18:46] usser_, at the moment i am writing it in gedit and then compiling it but typing gcc in the terminal and then running it using the terminal....its just very new to me [18:46] Jimi_Neutral, try codeblocks, its a great IDE a bit of an overkill for your purposes. [18:46] Ah i guess i have to use Jack for loopback with my HAD intel [18:46] HDA* [18:46] Does anyone have/had Boswars installed on Ubuntu? [18:47] usser_, well i dont wanna use an IDE yet if people are saying it is better to learn using seperate components [18:47] Btw, if anyone here have failed getting Fallout 3 Running, I've posted comment into Fallout 3 AppDB Entry that solved everything for me [18:47] usser_, also i was a bit concerned about not being able to see the object, i could only see the source code and the exe [18:47] The howto in AppDB Entry is really bad [18:47] Jimi_Neutral, try geany, its basically a text editor with some scripting components, it'll let you compile and run with a press of a button, but behind the scenes it still runs gcc in a terminal [18:48] ou ok thx sebsebseb [18:48] lucian: np [18:49] usser_, ok so if i used geany and wrote hello world, when i run it would Hello World pop up in the terminal still? [18:49] Jimi_Neutral, gcc autolinks the objects files if you want just .o file try gcc -c hello.c [18:49] Jimi_Neutral, yes [18:50] Haha. [18:50] Jimi_Neutral, since your hello world is a terminal program theres no other way to open it :) [18:51] usser_, it being a printf you mean? [18:51] Jimi_Neutral, yea === usser_ is now known as usser [18:52] usser_, see i learnt something! lol.....well i just tried that bit of code and the object popped up...ty [18:52] hi does anyone know how i can toggle quickly between keyboard layout preferences? [18:53] hello everyone. Is there any way to change the server ubuntu updates from? I'm fast all over the internet except the ubuntu server for updates. [18:53] sebsebseb: it works! My display is now working perfectly. I just updated to the cutting edge intel drivers from the launchpad. [18:53] etale: you mean switch between them? [18:53] yes but very rapidly [18:53] like with a shortcut [18:53] quickhand: you mean you used a PPA? [18:53] add the keyboard view widget etale? [18:53] quickhand: your using intel integrated graphics? [18:53] quickhand: i feel sorry for you [18:53] sebsebseb: yes [18:53] * spudCakePie hates intel integrated graphics [18:54] Hey, whatever, it works now! [18:54] is it possible to 'tripleboot' win, ubuntu and bt4? [18:54] has anyone done it? [18:54] quickhand: yeah Intel graphics people say aren't that good, but that's good that you got yours working :) [18:54] Now, is there anyone brave enough to try to help me get my touchscreen working? [18:55] n0gear-desk: bt4? backtrack 4? [18:55] yes [18:55] Hi, I'm trying to copy a protected DVD using brasero, and I get the following error message: "Error reading video DVD (fatal error in vts css key)". Any idea how to solve that? [18:55] n0gear-desk: that's really only meant to be a Live CD distro I think [18:55] sebsebseb I would like to have a very rapid shortcut; right now i open the keyboard settings thing and move the other kbd to the top [18:56] lfaraone: a DVD you bought? [18:56] sebsebseb: correct. [18:56] hey is there a program like a TV channel [18:56] lfaraone: libdvdcss2 for playing commercial DVD's [18:56] for ubuntu? [18:56] to watch discovery [18:57] or things like that [18:57] My touchscreen works, but the axes are reversed and the limits are wrong. And the touchscreen calibration app doesn't launch. Any takers? [18:57] sebsebseb: I have that installed. I'm trying to use the "copy disk" function in nautilus (which uses brasero) to copy it to an ISO image (in case the original is corrupted), but I was getting that error. [18:57] quickhand: what happens when you try to launch it? [18:57] lfaraone: I don't know, since not copyed DVD's on Linux [18:58] when I boot up my computer, it beeps like mad, and then once it finally loads GDM, it holds the last beep, and then beeps like mad when I shut it down. But if I boot into recovery mode, and then simply hit resume boot, or if I boot up windows from my other partition, it works just fine. Any ideas? [18:58] lfaraone: No evtouch capable device found, if you are sure you have [18:58] an evtouch capable touchscreen, please mail the resulting file of the command "lshal > evtouch_hal.out" to ... [18:59] lfaraone: it's an msi windtop [18:59] kazagistar: you'll have to be a bit more specific.. when does it beep.. any patterns to the beeping .. it beeps when booting the live cd? windows? error messages?

[19:03] when i compile some source code, why does it overwrite the exe that is already in the directory?

[19:17] spursncowboys: cnr as in Click'n'run [19:17] it didn't come with mine] [19:18] I have my own grudges against them, and how they work.

[19:18] :( [19:19] spursncowboys, http://gwos.org/doku.php/editorial:cnrno :) [19:20] hello, is it normal that ext4 unmounted partitions dont appear in nautilus? [19:20] hi [19:20] !terminal > jonathaN [19:20] jonathaN, please see my private message [19:20] does anybody know why "sudo dd if=ubuntu-9.04-netbook-remix-i386.img of=/dev/sdc bs=1M" does confuse fdisk? fdisk shows: http://pastebin.com/m338bed88 [19:20] Revv: yes [19:21] Revv: they are not mounted so why would they show [19:21] ikonia: I can't seem to find any support unfortunatly.. so I was trying to see if I could get it to work, but I don't know where to start. I will search more i suppose :) [19:21] basment: contact the people who wrote the software [19:21] ikonia, usually, they are shown on the left panel, even unmounted. and when you click on it, it gets mounted === floopsy is now known as Floops [19:21] Revv: never noticed that personally [19:21] ikonia, ok, so where, can i go to find it and mount it then? [19:22] ikonia, Revv thats true for usb sticks, but normal partitions? [19:22] ibuclaw: thanks for the link. Thanks for the heads up on cnr. Is there a place like that, for ubuntu though? [19:22] in your "places" directory ? [19:22] menu sorry [19:22] heyy [19:22] metalfan__, my ntfs windows Xp partition still appear when unmounted [19:22] spursncowboys: what is wrong with synaptic? [19:22] ikonia, thats my point, it doesnt appear there! [19:23] Revv, its listed as /dev/sdxy x is letter, y a number. x/y depend on the harddrive the partition is located [19:23] it does not have picasa [19:23] my wife wants picasa [19:23] I always buy my hardware at NewEgg but I'm not finding really what I want there right now: I'm looking for smallish (40GB) very fast drives at a good price. A bundle discount (3 or more) would be awesome. [19:23] I think it's funny that ubuntu can see windows.. but windows 7 can't see the ubuntu file system ;0) [19:23] Anybody have a suggestion? [19:23] Why is it I can't make a copy of a CSS'd DVD by doing "cat /dev/sr0 > file.image" as I would every other device? [19:23] KillGorack: well there's an Ext3 driver for Windows [19:24] mattalexx: take it to a hardware discussion channel please [19:24] sebsebseb: *ext2, and it's buggy in windows 7 [19:24] sebsebseb: that is very much not receommned [19:24] KillGorack: If windows could see ubuntu out of the box it would legitamize it. MS doesn't wanna do that. [19:24] recommendee [19:24] ughh, recommended [19:24] spursncowboys: tried downloading the debs from this page? http://picasa.google.se/linux/download.html#picasa30 [19:24] mattalexx, 40gb will not be produced anymore, so you have to buy "old" models - they are not that fast as modern harddrives. [19:24] ikonia: yeah normalley I say something like that to, when mentioning that there is a driver [19:25] mattalexx, its hard to find 40gb anyway.....maybe as a laptop drive, which is slower than desktop [19:25] I'll have to look that driver up.. [19:25] mattalexx, #hardware is a good starting point [19:25] does anybody know why "sudo dd if=ubuntu-9.04-netbook-remix-i386.img of=/dev/sdc bs=1M" does confuse fdisk? fdisk shows: http://pastebin.com/m338bed88 [19:25] KillGorack: well it's good for Windows not to have access to / or /home [19:25] my usb stick doesn't get recognized. how can I force it to get noticed? [19:25] The gnome-panel is such a boring way to launch apps. Can anybody recommend an app that is more creative (possibly better eye-candy) ? (Besides AWN) [19:26] edbian: gnome-do? or one of the other docks? [19:26] why do you want eyecandy? [19:26] KillGorack: if you have a partition in Ext3/2 that is just data, well then you could share it with Windows sure, and it should be ok. Altough sounds like the driver is buggy in Windows 7. [19:26] slart: thanks for the link, Im downloading right now. [19:26] boscop, type "dmesg" in console and look at the end if its really not noticed or just no gui application is popping up [19:26] Slart: "the other docks?"

[Processor, Graphics cards] [21:06] da_bboxking, offtopic, but no [21:06] Ok i need some serious consulting! on a tripple boot system [21:06] Canadaeh19: isn't is strange that gpated doesn't see my partitions ? [21:06] I've got kernel 2.6.30 installed currently, but I want to use the jaunty-proposed one -- I've downloaded it, but it didn't get added to /boot/grub/menu.lst (probably because it's older than what's there already) - is it ok to change that manually so I can boot into this kernel and then uninstall the old one? [21:06] hi all! I have fail on this line in ubuntu server boot: mounting kernel security on /sys/kernel/security [21:07] xangua, whats your main language on the OS? [21:07] Canadaeh19: disk it listed as 'unallocated' [21:07] leogazio: are you using stock kernel? [21:07] I currenlty have Windowx XP and Windos 7 on my laptop, and i want to install Ubuntu also on my laptop [21:07] norpan: spanish, i have all the dictionaries installed [21:07] Is there a way to skip grub? just booting the first OS in order? i want grub to only appear when pressing a button? [21:07] Hi. I noticed that when I'm downloading large quantities of stuff (.iso files for OSes...) I often get completely disconnected from the internet. The only way I seem to fix it is to turn off and on my router and/or cable modem. I'm not sure where the fault is coming from. dmesg | tail says "possible SYN flooding port #####" (actually are numbers though).... what's that [21:07] what's stock kernel? [21:07] ubuntu: if i where you i wouldnt want 12 partitions on a single hd [21:07] Joeseph, your ISP is probably throttling you [21:07] xangua, some apps does not support your language , disable spellcheck instead [21:07] leogazio: have you upgraded your kernel at all? [21:08] yeah I did [21:08] Mike_lifeguard: yes, basically you copy down the current entry & change the file names to point to the new kernel. Keep the old one until it's clear the new one works [21:08] cabrey: As in, it thinks I'm downloading too much, so it cuts me off? how rude. [21:08] norpan: in my sister profile it works (pidgin, gwibber, gedit) [21:08] Canadaeh19: well, but i thinks that this has nothing to do with my problem [21:08] Joeseph, it's not surprising, who is your ISP? [21:08] losher: thanks [21:08] Canadaeh19: because it used to work for 2 years [21:08] ubuntu: yeah, you need to edit your menu.lst [21:08] I currenlty have Windowx XP and Windos 7 on my laptop, and i want to install Ubuntu also on my laptop is this a good idea to use "Wubi" to uinstall ubuntu? [21:09] leogazio: ok, I think that's normal since they only do security stuff for the supported kernel version(s) [21:09] Ahm [21:09] ThorsonB, do you have a CD? [21:09] cabrey: Cox. [21:09] so I don't nedd to worry [21:09] ubuntu: pate your /boot/grub/menu.lst in pastebin so i can check it out [21:09] anyone use exaile?

They are the only two I don't understand: ",dmask=027,fmask=137" [21:10] no [21:11] norpan: if I recall correctly you can press to get the menu, but you will have to read the grub docu on this [21:11] Mike_lifeguard: if you look at the files in /boot and compare the /boot/grub/menu.lst entry, you'll see them. Ask if it's not obvious... [21:11] te necessitas el driver de cual tarjeta?

[21:13] u ever tried that? [21:13] excuse me but could someone explain why kubuntu exists? doesn't ubuntu ship kde too? (i assume it does) [21:13] Canadaeh19: http://pastie.org/private/pzmlztv98ymtp5ahjmsufq [21:13] norpan: ok, do it the easy way: open /boot/grub/menu.lst, look for #hiddenmenu [21:13] Tuju: no. [21:13] Tuju, kubuntu is ubuntu with KDE preinstalled [21:13] brrrrr [21:13] norpan im sorry not i am totally lost... , isnt there an live cd i can use to partition a drive (undistructive partition) ? [21:13] now* [21:13] mac9416: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fmask [21:13] cabrey: so ubuntu *does not* have kde at all then? [21:14] Tuju: correct. if you want KDE, use Kubuntu. [21:14] Thanks, losher. [21:14] Tuju: KDE isn't on the install CD. You can install KDE after you're setup, but then you have to take an extra set. Kubuntu team also helps make sure the KDE Ubuntu experience is polished. [21:14] Tuju, you can *install* kde on ubuntu [21:14] ThorsonB, thats exactly what i mean, Start the live cd :P it will create a partition for Ubuntu [21:14] mneptok: huh, howcome they chose not to ship it? pretty heavy decision imo. [21:14] Tuju, but it basically turns it into kubuntu [21:14] Tuju, because GNOME fits the need better [21:14] Tuju: because it ships as the default DE in Kubuntu [21:14] guntbert, hiddenmenu is set to esc [21:14] ack [21:14] guntbert, what is hiddenmenu? [21:15] Tuju: there's only so much space on a CD. You can't have everything by default. [21:15] thanks for the answers, got it now. [21:15] how do I disable all of the video power managment ? [21:15] guntbert, oh... look [21:15] guntbert, ## hiddenmenu [21:15] # Hides the menu by default (press ESC to see the menu) [21:15] #hiddenmenu [21:15] norpan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

By default i creates a partition to install ubuntu. Why would that mess things up?

[21:24] cabrey: oh im sorry [21:24] wongon, you should see this line: Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-11-generic (recovery mode) [21:24] I cannot install my webcam, here is the result from easycam : http://pastebin.com/m144b6a6b [21:24] ubuntu: try an apt-get install --reinstall grub [21:25] Canadaeh19: ok [21:25] I see an option for 'failsafe gnome' === EnziM is now known as Guest71479 [21:25] Canadaeh19: ok, guess the single # is non-comment. The groot does indeed match correctly. drat [21:25] wongon, on reboot, not the login screen [21:25] guest2: r u the same as guest1 lol? [21:26] norpan: its all in menu.lst and its well documented there, you can change the number in the line default to the system you like [21:26] I'm pretty sure I did not see that on reboot [21:26] Canadaeh19: yep, had a connectivity hiccup [21:26] how do i know my JAVA HOME ?? [21:26] Canadaeh19: ok, got it, try the root, setup thing again ? [21:26] guntbert, thanks for everything [21:26] I'm trying to use emerald themes and compiz, I've already enabled compositing and AddARGBGLXVisuals in the right places in xorg.conf but in the "Appearance Preferences" visual effects tab when I change my setting from None to either Normal or Extra it gives me an error about "The Composite extension is not available" any ideas? [21:26] wongon, what version of ubuntu? [21:26] hi all! [21:27] yea [21:27] ubuntu: yes [21:27] !hi | frenZ [21:27] frenZ: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [21:27] cabrey: how do I check that? [21:27] norpan: np, I wanted to encourage you to actually look at your file :-), but in any case you can install/enable startup-manager too, that is a gui for grub settings [21:27] wongon, when did you download the ISO? [21:27] Canadaeh19: same thing :/ [21:28] about 3 wks ago [21:28] I believe it to be the latest, v9.04 [21:28] 9.0.4 is the lastet version [21:28] wongon, ok how did you install it? did you boot off the cd or use the setup.exe in windows? [21:28] ubuntu: since your partiton is sda5 that should make it (hd0,4) [21:29] 4=fifth partiton, being 0=1st partitoin. [21:29] I installed from flash drive [21:29] !grub | norpan, have a look at: [21:29] norpan, have a look at:: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [21:29] Canadaeh19: but find is giving (hd0,5) [21:29] I installed as an app in windows [21:29] norpan: the last link [21:29] When I installed the Ubuntu game it removed my Windows. How can i get my windoos bak [21:29] I do not boot from cd [21:29] yeah that is messed up, because hd0,5 is the 6th partiton. [21:29] and in your fdisk [21:29] its not [21:29] hi soulwrap and ubottu! [21:30] I'm new to linux and figured out how to use clonezilla [21:30] wongon, ok you used wubi, you can uninstall wubi, which will uninstall ubuntu, then reinstall. write down that info next time! [21:30] Canadaeh19: and after root(hd0,4) and setup (hd0) i get: Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition [21:30] can you setup clonezilla nd fog at the same time [21:30] ubuntu: like i oould go with find tho [21:30] Canadaeh19: A search for grub "blinking cursor" brings up someone who had a bios 'auto-detect' type conflict - does this sound conceivable? [21:30] alright [21:30] thx [21:30] anybody see me ? [21:31] guest2: anything is possible lol [21:31] disaster: I see you [21:31] ok [21:31] just checking [21:31] question [21:32] !ask [21:32] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [21:32] have a question, I have a p3 with 256ram, why wont ubuntu 9.04 boot? [21:32] ubuntu: you can download the super grub disc, http://freshmeat.net/projects/supergrub/ it does everything, [21:32] is it possible to setup fog imaging and clonezilla on the same box === max_ is now known as Maxjezy [21:33] I have a partiton for my /boot set on /sda3 so its (hd0,2) so if soemthing happens my boot partiton should still be fine. [21:33] i reccomend /boot partitons to all. [21:33] Canadaeh19: yes, was thinking about that, and i must try this since nothing is working [21:33] ubuntu: what version of linux? [21:33] ubuntu: and ext3? or 4? [21:33] i think it says in the pastie [21:33] Canadaeh19: ext3 [21:33] i use ubuntu ex3 [21:34] ext3 [21:34] i have not had sound now for months in my ubuntu config. what can i do to get sound back? [21:34] i dont know what occured. [21:34] Canadaeh19: updated to 9.04 [21:34] ubuntu: aight cus was gogin to say if ext4 that could mean some problems [21:34] ubuntu: hmm, when i updated to ubuntuwith the installer i got screwed over, had to do a fresh install, maybe this is the answer? [21:34] does anybody know if linux support hdmi yet ? [21:35] ubuntu: [21:35] Canadaeh19: i would love to do fresh install, but since installer doesn't see my partitions i cant [21:35] ubuntu: did you set the bootflag to your partiton?? [21:35] help! I was messing around with chmod -w and now I can't see the files (in gnautlis) [21:35] Canadaeh19: i have too much data [21:35] ubuntu:do a sudo fdisk /dev/sda [21:35] then command a [21:36] and set the bootflag to sda5 [21:36] and take the bootflag off of sda1 [21:36] ubottu, can u help me? [21:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about can u help me? [21:36] what program is resonsible for the system testing menu item? [21:37] ikoniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiia [21:38] then repaste your sudo fdisk -l [21:38] !ubotu chmod [21:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubotu chmod [21:38] ubotu chmod [21:39] thanks for the help guys [21:39] I can always count on you [21:39] i was working on my home router over the web. I enabled my remote IP address for access in the router's admin page. Unfortunately my isp changed my remote IP address so I am no longer able to login to my router's admin page. Is there any way around this? Im using ubuntu [21:40] gnarfy1: unplug you router for 10s plug backin, hard reset always works. [21:41] Canadaeh19: I dont have physical access to the router, Im in a different city [21:41] gnarfy1: if you are remote still - no :( that has nothing to do with your OS [21:41] How can I install a superseded version of something from a ppa? If I do 'sudo apt-get install package=version' it says it can't find that version :\ [21:41] gnarfy1: did you do a ifconfig and see if the login is the default gateway [21:41] Canadaeh19: sorry, got phonecall, don't know about this bootflag thing, how to even check it [21:41] guntbert: I thought I could spoof my ip address somehow from ubuntu [21:42] ubuntu: sudo fdisk /dev/sda [21:42] then 'a' [21:42] ahoj [21:42] then its a list, and pick the partiton iwth linux on it [21:42] 5 [21:42] or w.e [21:42] Canadaeh19: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:43] Canadaeh19: yes, done it, what now ? [21:43] repaste your fdisk -l [21:43] canadaeh19 norpan no got it CDburnerXP [21:44] ill see it over, then once that is done you should try a reboot and see if you grub is fixed and im hoping it is. [21:44] gnarfy1: won't work, its a question of routing - sorry no go :(, there has to be someone "inside" to change the router config [21:44] ThorsonB: imgburn is pro.. and lightweight [21:44] Canadaeh19: http://pastie.org/private/pomhrs0xqrtvciz8thrsw [21:44] gnarfy1: if you can call ur house and tell em hard reset the router [21:44] Canadaeh19: hrm, I tried ext4 so that may indeed be the source of the problems. For re-installing, should I be able to re-install grub on hd2 and leave my primary disk alone? [21:44] yeah u can reinstall grub on any partiton and leave other alone [21:45] just copy /boot/ [21:45] to new partiton [21:45] then re set your menu.lst [21:45] to the new partiton [21:45] Canadaeh19: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:45] !enter [21:45] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [21:45] ubuntu: it still shows sda1 as your bootflag [21:45] Canadaeh19: that will not be enough for gnarfy1, since his remote address changed the new IP-address must be configured as managemnt IP in the router [21:45] Do any russians speak? [21:46] guntbert, canadaeh19: surely. I have username, password for router. I was logged in until my ip address changed. is there no way of getting back in? Ive even tried redialing my isp 50 times trying to get the same ip address back. Im on dialup :( [21:46] Canadaeh19: will I need to redo my grub-mbr file to windows' boot.ini or will the same one work? hrm, probably safest to redo [21:46] !ru | craig_ [21:46] how can i get my audio back? [21:46] craig_: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [21:46] gnarfy1:did you use a specific port to access the router. With nmap you can scan your isp ip ranges, but it takes some time [21:46] guest2: ive never linked up windows boot.ini to my grub so im not sure [21:46] thx [21:47] how can i add a new menu item to ubuntu system menu? [21:47] barbarella: that won't work for gnarfy1, its *not* the router's address, that changed [21:47] i guess i am not supposed to have audio i obviously [21:47] ubuntu: you must change the boot flag to the linux partiton using fdisk and then the a command [21:47] Canadaeh19: when i list partitions from fdisk p i got http://pastie.org/private/4xnw7bijefihkufmbnscq [21:47] Anyone have experience with enabling ICS on ubuntu? [21:47] how do i run a patch text doc [21:47] aight, now you have to remove the partiton from sda1 [21:48] gnarfy1: if you can get someone in your house to change the router-config do it, else :-(( [21:48] even tho grub should be able to tell the difference in bootflags its a good id [21:48] guntbert:his wan address is it not [21:48] can someone take a look at this and help me with compiling this source for OLED drivers.. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d638feea5 [21:48] Canadaeh19: Alrighty then, back to the adventure. Thanks for all your help! [21:48] how can I tell what version of a package I have installed from a terminal? [21:48] Canadaeh19: ok, done that, fdisk is showing it okay [21:48] guest2: i woudnt reccomend ext4 when ext3 is flawless lol, [21:49] k re paste the fdisk [21:49] Canadaeh19: only on sda5 [21:49] Canadaeh19, ext4 is a *lot* faster [21:49] guntbert: all people at home away at work. Gutted! I thought there must be some way! What would a hacker do? [21:49] Canadaeh19: Newb error :) [21:49] can some one help me patch my drivers i have the file but i dont know how to run it [21:49] aight, if its only on sda5 then reboot [21:49] wtf did you guys do to my xchat? [21:49] and i wish you luck [21:49] Canadaeh19, but same, i will only recommend ext4 when 9.10 is out [21:49] cabrey: it is /very/ new... fast is fine, but stable is better for many applications [21:49] Canadaeh19: http://pastie.org/private/axdrycfmmjeyhew8x5pbq [21:49] Anyone have experience with enabling ICS on ubuntu? [21:49] cabrey: if you dont need ext4 for some reason ext3 is fine and dandy [21:49] Hm. Got my computer to output to the TV, however, I'm using a male stereo to rca converter to try to get audio, and nothing plays. However if I plug in my headphones it works fine. [21:49] Any ideas? [21:50] My computers always connect to my wired network, as well as a (subscribed to) wireless network in the area that I don't want to be connected to. Do my computers send information to the network's wireless router? Why do my computers do this? How do I stop my computer from connecting to the wireless network? [21:50] barbarella: gnarfy1 is out of town, and his "remote" address (from where he wanted to manage the router) changed, his router has the old IP-address but will not let him in [21:50] @tuxcrafter: right click the menu bar and select "edit menu" [21:50] taylor_: ICS = incident command system, internet connection sharing, icalendar, what? [21:50] "edit menus*" [21:50] losher: sorry, internet connection sharing [21:50] guntbert:so his wan addres is changed [21:50] ubuntu what did you do to my xchat so my url hanlders don't work? [21:50] I get some crappy default url handlers that suck [21:51] gnarfy1: sorry, and no, I'm *not* going to duscuss hacking techniques in this channel, sorry [21:51] cythrawll: you mean me or the distro? :] [21:51] Im hoping your grub is fixed now ununtu. [21:51] ubuntu unless you are the distro [21:51] hi [21:52] Both of my computers do this and I don't understand why. [21:52] cythrawll: sometimes i feel so :] [21:52] barbarella: if you mean with "his" the address of his pc where he is now: yes, but not the one of his router at home [21:52] I'm having trouble with the Emacs gtk package on jaunty. [21:52] My new mouse moves the pointer too fast. I turned the gnome mouse options (speed and acceleration) all the way down and it is still 3x as fast as I want. Short of writing a new xorg.conf section, is there a way to slow it down more? [21:53] hi! I used to change hostname and oracle doesn't start anymore [21:53] Anyone have experience with enabling internet connection sharing on ubuntu? [21:53] Canadaeh19: ok, that's it, should i reboot now ?

Do my computers send information to the network's wireless router? Why do my computers do this? How do I stop my computer from connecting to the wireless network?

[22:00] so I heard that one can't be in both #ubuntu and #debian over the incredibly stupid argument that one cannot use both of these operating systems at once? [22:00] no, it's not problem with the oracle app, the problem came when I've changed the OS hostname [22:01] lolfrenz: I was in both recently without problems. You will get a lot of static if you ask a debian question in ubuntu & vice versa though. [22:01] hantu: it's considered rude to pm someone without asking first...

In my experience, people don't get banned from here without good reason [22:03] then paste the newly generate menu.lst in /boot/grub/ on sda5 if it goes there, it might go onto sda6 your /boot on the linux partiton [22:04] What's the package for an open office spreadsheet? === abchirk_ is now known as abchirk [22:04] All: Really frustrated with my U 8.04.

[22:11] Canadaeh19: yeah, it wentn fine [22:11] ive got a big problem with my soun because if i plugin my headset theres always also the sound from my laptop sound devices [22:11] Canadaeh19: Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+16 p (hd0,4)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/menu.lst"... succeeded [22:11] alright try reboot then after we can try the root setup on hd0,4 if that doesnt work [22:11] TBotNik: your /var/lib/dpkg/status file is corrupted is my guess. Open a text editor and take a look round line 25582 [22:11] mikepark: Awesome [22:11] ubuntu: yessss k try reboot [22:11] wait ubuntu, [22:11] hi [22:12] is the menu.lst on hd0,4 /boot/grub is it reffering to itsself, for chroot = [22:12] hi, any one can redict me to a decent good webdesign program for ubuntu ? [22:12] How to find the architecture? [22:12] how do I install gcc 2.95? I need it for an article I'm writing about compiler optimizations; I'm doign a comparison between 2.95, 3.4, and 4.4 [22:12] kprav33n: uname -a [22:12] Hi. I'm looking to remove about 3 MB from a custom image... Where can I find the extra default desktops to delete? [22:12] losher: no one really knoes.. maybe making milk from udders would be a start. [22:12] uname -i returns unknown [22:13] kprav33n: uname -a [22:13] losher: Is there a switch to get the arch alone? [22:13] Try bluefish [22:13] Canadaeh19: milk from udders sounds like regular cow powers. Not much super about it.... [22:13] kprav33n: I believe so. check the man page... [22:13] mikepark: Where does the information i686 come from? [22:13] kprav33n: uname -m [22:13] mikepark: teach a man to fish... [22:13] What is the difference between hardware and processor platform? [22:14] losher: :) [22:14] losher: its pretty super how they make milk tho and how it tastes so good, and how theres choco milk, and all the milk by-products [22:14] hi [22:14] but yes i agree it is a regular cow power not super [22:15] Yeah... [22:15] uname -m [22:15] Thanks mikepark and losher [22:15] mmmm huge glass of milkk [22:16] TBotNik: making any progress? [22:16] I need help with this http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d638feea5 I am trying to compile the OLED drivers for linux and it throws and error on "make" and I am not sure what exactly is wrong.. [22:16] losher: Line 25582 is "Config-Version: 255:". What should it be? [22:17] uhm, when booting ubuntu 9.04, the whole screen's full of graphical garbage, tried re-editing xorg.conf to failsafe configuration but it still doesn't work - suggestions? need to get some stuff done. :X === edson is now known as ecanto [22:17] WIGGMPk: im sure you ran a ./configure before this yes? [22:17] before running make command [22:18] Canadaeh19: there is no ./configure [22:18] so is this just source code drivers? [22:18] wh0am1, there is nothing about the boot screen and xorg.conf (totally different things) [22:19] Canadaeh19: yes http://lapsus.berlios.de/asus_oled.html the instructions are at the bottom of the page [22:19] TBotNik: no idea. let me install it & see what mine says.... [22:19] is there anyone out there willing to help a noob with a graphics problem? [22:19] WIGGMPk: its trying to find the kernel headers [22:19] losher: Is this file created by the update process? Should I delete the file and start over? [22:19] luke_, what's your problem? [22:20] anyone know a decently good webdesign program that i can run on ubuntu ? [22:20] luke_: Yeah. What's your problem? [22:20] guntbert: i didnt remove the headers from /usr/src but ran "sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-$(uname -r)" to get it back.. should I purge and reinstall? [22:20] WIGGMPk: woah that is so cool i wish my laptop has a oled, anyhow how far did you get with the install? like added everythin to modprobe [22:20] i can't get visual effects to work [22:20] Rawz, Amaya? Bluefish? Screem? [22:20] TBotNik: don't be in such a hurry to delete it. It's a big file, and I think it's *necessary* for normal operation. Please sit on your hands for a moment... [22:20] i think it is because i don't have the driver set up properly, but thats where i get lost [22:20] Canadaeh19: nowhere.. I downloaded the source.. and ran make and it threw and error [22:21] texasjack, witch of those are the best? ever tried any of them ? [22:21] !best | Rawz [22:21] Rawz: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [22:21] losher: K [22:21] aight [22:21] Canadaeh19: it's working, thank you [22:21] suggestions on the graphics issue? btw, it's an ati card, i reset xorg.conf and it still shows garbage (and doesn't respond to keystrokes!) [22:21] luke_, more details: what graphics cards do you use and what video driver are you using in «xorg.conf»? [22:21] Canadaeh19: I owe you [22:21] Rawz: gedit is sufficient. Geany? There are several web-supported editors available. [22:21] WIGGMPk: not sure, what gives ls -l /usr/src/linux-headers* ? [22:22] ubuntu: lol sweet so you got it?? nice job mange [22:22] i have a macbook with a intel GMA X3100 i think [22:22] TBotNik: so what happens if you do 'sudo apt-get remove insight' [22:22] i don't know how to tell what driver i am using [22:22] Rawz, I've tried the three. Depends what you mean with web-design.... You wanna a Dreamweaver substitute? [22:22] yah a dreamweaver substitute kinda yea [22:22] hi all [22:23] guntbert: its at the bottom of http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d4ac7e67f [22:23] you can install dreamweaver threw wine, there is tut's on the net. [22:23] Rawz, there's is no Dreamweaver substitute... Try Amaya first. If you don't like, just purge it... And gonna installing the others and testing. [22:23] losher: Have the .iso for 8.10 and want to upgrade to that, but can not find instructions HOWTO, from .iso. Would do that if it would eliminate this problem, as where I want to go anyway. Not ready for 9.04 yet. Friends that went 9.04 still complaining. [22:23] cheers ill try that, [22:23] guntbert: I tried purging the headers and reinstall.. and i got this "DKMS tree must be manually fixed [fail]" but that is part of nvidia right?????? [22:23] well i dont get how wine works [22:24] im still a baby fish in the ubuntu world [22:24] Friends who went from PS2 to PS3 complained. Friends who went from Xbox to Xbox360 complained. People complains all times. Otherwise, we wouldn't know what's happening in the world. [22:24] WIGGMPk: what about this link here http://asusg50oled.sourceforge.net/ [22:24] texasjack: i just thougt i might've messed my driver config up so the displays wrong... login screen etc is just a bunch of garbage on the screen [22:24] luke_, open a terminal and type: «sudo apt-get install pastebinit», then «cat /etc/X11xorg.conf | pastebinit» and then show us the URI. [22:25] Canadaeh19: havent tried it, but its the same driver (at least it should be) [22:25] Hey guys where can çi check in the log viewer to see at what time my pc was turned off? Thanks [22:25] Rawz, «sudo apt-get install wine» and try it... It's easy. [22:25] ye, might try redownloading it from a different mirror? [22:25] TBotNik: I agree with you on 9.04 not being ready for prime time. I don't think upgrading will be hard, but I also think it's an increased risk to try upgrading a system that already has known problems. [22:25] Canadaeh19: yea, look at the SVN.. its the same driver [22:26] did you get it from sourceforge [22:26] just curious, will ubuntu recognize windows7 while installing? for some reason it says I have windows vista installed :D [22:26] can someone answer a simple shell strip question for me? i have a bunch of folders that are named really horribly, like the directory name is "ph1992-04-06481.shnf" i want to strip off the .shnf at the end of each directory? whats the syntax for this? [22:26] well i got wine installed, somehow i managed to install spootify in it :D [22:26] wh0am1, what login screen do you use? [22:26] script* [22:26] that was just a lucky manage by me :D [22:26] mubu, just about any of the logs, syslog, messages etc. [22:26] Ye truthefullyi dont use svns i just get the latest source [22:27] wh0am1, in the channel please... [22:27] WIGGMPk: sorry, no idea from here on :-( [22:27] WIGGMPk: you have sunjava6 installed?? [22:27] durt, what will it say, what should i look for? [22:27] shipitkthx: rename -n 's/.shnf$//' *.shnf # the -n option will make it only print what it would've done. Replace -n with -v to have it actually rename [22:27] YTMND! [22:27] If you dont that would be a problem. [22:27] ty geirha [22:27] guntbert: thanks for looking.. what exactly is the problem though? what cant it find??? [22:27] wh0am1, talks to everyone so everyone could help you. [22:27] texasjack: the default ubuntu 9.04 x64 one [22:28] Canadaeh19: yes.. from the ubuntu-restricted-extras package [22:28] it says, "you are trying to send an empty document, exiting." did i mess up? [22:28] shipitkthx: rename -n 's/\.shnf$//' *.shnf # forgot that backslash, but it will likely work fine without. [22:28] alright, [22:28] yah it did [22:28] ty [22:28] wh0am1, better question: are you using GNOME? [22:28] i think it's related to my graphics driver, but well, i already re-edited xorg.conf [22:28] yes [22:28] WIGGMPk: looked again into the other pastebin, I truly don't know :( [22:29] guntbert: thanks for looking mate.. [22:29] i also tried the recovery thingy on the install disc but it didn't seem that useful [22:29] how do i oartition my drive with G oarted? [22:29] how do i partition my drive with GParted [22:29] wh0am1, so is «gdm» the login manager you're using. So the graphics is all messed up on the login screen? But how can you login? [22:29] WIGGMPk: when you run lspci is the asus G1/G2 oled recognized? [22:29] texasjack: i can't, on live-cd currently [22:29] *** lsusb === solid_liqAFK is now known as solid_liq [22:30] TBotNik: so what happens if you do 'sudo apt-get remove insight' ? === solid_liq is now known as solid_liqAFK [22:30] it shows some graphic errors, the ubuntu icon in weird palette, parts from bios text lines, ... [22:30] Canadaeh19: i have a G50Vt and it worked in Intrepid.. but not Jaunty.. [22:30] WIGGMPk: here is the tar if you want to try and unzip it, http://asusg50oled.sourceforge.net/download/asusg50oled.tgz [22:30] wh0am1, hummm... I don't know much things about «gdm» and login managers... But re-installing it didn't work? [22:30] Canadaeh19: besides.. it doesnt matter if the device isnt recognized.. i should still be able to compile the drive [22:30] untar it lol, and install from that directory [22:31] texasjack: reinstalling what? i wanted to avoid reinstalling the whole ubuntu bunch since i'm on a low-speed connection and would need to re-download a whole lot of stuff :/ [22:31] Canadaeh19: I cant run "make", it throws an error... reference http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d4ac7e67f [22:31] wh0am1, really weird problem.. But surely is about the driver you are using. [22:31] do you have the compiling things installd for ubuntu [22:32] wh0am1, re-installing JUST gdm. [22:32] Canadaeh19: I have make, gcc, build-essential, linux-headers, etc and reinstalled them several times === ThorsonB is now known as JaysonX [22:32] aight, well its probly not your make anyway === JaysonX is now known as JasonX [22:32] wh0am1, know how to use «aptitude»? [22:32] texasjack: how to reinstall gdm? not sure how to do it since i can't access anything - recovery feature of setup disk? [22:33] no, i'm sorry i don't :| [22:33] WIGGMPk: is this the svn you tried svn://svn.berlios.de/lapsus/asus_oled/trunk [22:33] can i do something special for reporting a bug with memory loose? [22:33] cc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory [22:33] losher: Get msg: "Insight not installed so not removed!" [22:33] Canadaeh19: yes [22:33] wh0am1, nope. No recovery "thing". [22:33] what causes the above error? [22:33] wh0am1, go to a terminal. [22:33] Canadaeh19: i also tried downloading the asus_oled-0.03.tar.bz2 before [22:33] texasjack: done. [22:33] wh0am1, «sudo aptitude» [22:34] WIGGMPk: have you heard of lapsus [22:34] http://lapsus.berlios.de/ [22:34] texasjack: done (so this works even from the live-cd?) [22:34] Canadaeh19: yes, used this driver before in Intrepid.. why? [22:34] WIGGMPk: is it possible you need to install this before you try to install oled [22:35] wh0am1, hummm, now you gotcha me, my brother tux... I don't know, but let's try. [22:35] Or does it just control led's not oled's [22:35] Canadaeh19: definitely not.. used OLED before without Lapsus, Lapsus is from the same developers of the OLED driver [22:35] TBotNik: ok. so you see where Line 25582 is in /var/lib/dpkg/status? Everything in that file is organized into paragraphs, separated by blank lines. Delete the paragraph containing the "Config-Version: 255" line, save, and then do apt-get update [22:35] my sound stopped working on my user account....it still works for other users, I do not understand!!! [22:35] cc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory --> when trying to compile a program --> anyone know what causes that ? [22:35] wh0am1, press "u" and then "/" to search for 'gdm'... [22:36] texasjack: maybe it's somehow possible to tell aptitude to work on an installed version of ubuntu, not the running one [22:36] ok, sec === JasonX is now known as JayJayXX === solid_liqAFK is now known as SolidLiq [22:36] takes some time... [22:36] jay [22:37] wh0am1, I'm new to Ubuntu too. I don't know, really. I never used live-cds... And I think it's better this way. =) (My opinion, for sure...) [22:37] i also didn't want to use it at all, but though i cannot use my real os in any way o0 [22:37] oh well, my connection really sucks :/ [22:37] Canadaeh19: guntbert: are we able to say that its NOT a problem with MAKE? im running kernelcheck right now and its compiling the new 2.6.30 kernel.....???? [22:38] wh0am1, why don't you boot on the Ubuntu installed, and when gdm appears all messed up, just press ++? [22:38] yeah its not make [22:38] my sound stopped working on my user account....it still works for other users, I do not understand!!! [22:39] hello mates, you really know whats wrong here? : http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/5018/s1050141.jpg [22:39] Canadaeh19: is it my system? my headers?? this is frustrating [22:39] hi [22:39] texasjack: maybe because i forgot that feature... :X will try it in a sec, just have to finish this presentation... [22:39] how do i get ubuntu to mount a second partition on an external harddrive? [22:39] Omg, my ubuntu server is unbootable. I had it completely working, then I moved and when trying to fire it uop in my new place, it says "Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!" [22:39] wh0am1, when you press ++ you're gonna be "teletransported" to a terminal. I think THAT'S gonna work... === ThorB is now known as JasonX [22:39] Like it may be not compatible with jaunty yet, but thats a stretch [22:39] urg, [22:39] wh0am1, OK. =) [22:39] Im sure if it worked in Ibex it will work === emmmy is now known as emmy [22:39] ok [22:40] losher: Some progress. Errors at: http://paste.ubuntu.com/195928/ [22:40] texasjack: is it possible without having to download ALL the packet info? my conn seems to be too slow (say, is there a faster way, googling a direct link or what?) [22:40] k [22:40] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox-ose/+bug/347487 [22:40] and what about reinstalling opensource failsafe ati drivers? how to do that (as well)? [22:40] WIGGMPk: you have qt 3.3 rite or later [22:40] wh0am1, you don't need to download the packet info, just jump the step when I said to press "u". [22:41] Canadaeh19: i think QT 4 [22:41] k [22:41] WIGGMPk: [22:41] Canadaeh19: 4.5.0 [22:41] WIGGMPk: To compile the program, just run: [22:41] qmake && make in the tool/ directory === JasonX is now known as Tommy [22:41] TBotNik: yes, both the corruption & this msg are the result of an apt command failing & not cleanup up behind itself. Make sure there are no other apt processes running: ps ax | egrep 'apt|dpkg' [22:41] wh0am1, but it's, surely, better to download it. =) [22:41] did you give that a go and same error [22:41] ? === Tommy is now known as Thor [22:42] what apt command could I use to determine if build-essential is already installed on my system ? [22:42] invariable: Do you want to install it if it's not? [22:42] HI support, I am new to ubuntu and am having issues booting up, can anyone help me? [22:42] try typing make command and if theres none then chances are u probly dont have build-essentials [22:43] ok === silver is now known as Guest74628 [22:43] losher: Get " 8357 pts/0 S+ 0:00 egrep apt|dpkg" [22:43] Is there anyway I can telnet/SSH into my system, and run an old DOS program? DOSEMU won't work, as it runs as an X application... [22:43] Flannel, no [22:43] invariable: you could use dpkg -l | grep build-essential, or apt-cache policy build-essential, or just sudo apt-get install build-essential (and it'll tell you if its already installed, it'll upgrade it if its old) [22:43] Canadaeh19: its build-essential and yes I do [22:43] Flannel, I'm looking to do this from a script [22:43] invariable: Alright, then either of the first two would work fine (and theres probably a few other ways) [22:43] so something that returns 0/1 would be /really/ nice [22:43] WIGGMPk: did you run that To compile the program, just run: [22:43] qmake && make in the tool/ directory [22:43] TBotNik: that's good. Now let's clean up this leftover lock file: sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock [22:44] Flannel, thanks very much [22:44] invariable: Alright, `dpkg -l | grep build-essential` is probably the easiest [22:44] i think qmake checks see if it will make before actually making [22:44] Canadaeh19: it asks for option flags.. [22:44] Flannel, what would the output be if installed/not installed? [22:44] run make-clean [22:44] Hi everyone [22:45] Canadaeh19: i am running kenrnelcheck and its COMPILING a kernel right now.. so I have all the componenets [22:45] ubottu, !br [22:45] Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português.

The first two letters will be ii if its installed, *probably* rc if its been removed (just do dpkg -l build-essential and you'll see the little menu on top) [22:45] invariable: Ah [22:45] Canadaeh19: make clean works though [22:45] invariable: I'll pastebin it for you [22:45] Flannel, thanks [22:45] k once u did make clean try the qmake && make [22:46] help pl s !

[22:52] bash: Can you print a test page after you click finish? [22:52] WIGGMPk: eff im so bad at symlinks lol, usually if somethin doesnt have a config scrip im outy, [22:52] invariable: Right. and if someone removes the package (but doesn't purge it, so config files still are around) its usually "rc" (removed, config) [22:53] hmm [22:53] im very shame [22:53] but i have to ask [22:53] Flannel, ok - thanks very much [22:53] i dont even know how to install [22:53] Canadaeh19: well because the symlink is broken, im pretty sure my system is at fault for not being able to run make? [22:53] losher: Well at least now mkisofs and isomaster should install. [22:53] here can i view ubottu's factoids online? [22:53] begginer001, no shame at all, brother tux.

[22:53] Hi ppl! Do you know why emerald-themes-manager doesn't work on Ubuntu 8.04, 64 bit? It's running at start up, but I can't acces it during the session. Thank's [22:54] Canadaeh19: yes [22:54] Canadaeh19: i always purge [22:54] Flannel, thanks [22:54] TBotNik: agreed. Also, backup your system before you upgrade, since they do go wrong. Consider doing a fresh install instead, too... [22:54] zagabar, I'm not a kernel guru, but that sound really bad. =) [22:54] begginer001, you're using GNOME? [22:54] WIGGMPk: aite so thats not the prob. === Bolt_ is now known as Guest19378 === Guest19378 is now known as crunchbang [22:54] dida: rtorrent is a very nice client [22:54] i just installed Kubuntu [22:54] begginer001, are you using GNOME?* [22:55] texasjack: Indeed it does... [22:55] begginer001, OK. So try KDevelop. [22:55] Hi ppl! Do you know why emerald-themes-manager doesn't work on Ubuntu 8.04, 64 bit? It's running at start up, but I can't acces it during the session. Thank's [22:55] texasjack: can you pls tell me how to install ? [22:55] begginer001, KDevelop is a god IDE for what I've heard about it. [22:56] hmm [22:56] begginer001, in a terminal: «sudo apt-get install kdevelop» [22:56] i read that QT software has a good platform [22:57] Where can I obtain the VMWare Tools .tar file? Its not listed in Synaptics anymore. [22:57] begginer001, it's a matter of taste. Some like GTK+, some QT... [22:57] WIGGMPk: time to rebuild you kernel [22:57] I have a problem with my laptop too. I installed the proprietary gfx drivers for it, and when rebooting, it got stuck in a random coloured mess when loading. Just before the login box. How can I revert the driver? [22:57] Canadaeh19: *sigh* im restarting to try stuff [22:57] ill fallow your instruction im installing kdevelop [22:57] kk [22:58] zagabar, ++, then «sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.zagabar.backup» [22:58] texasjack: i have used QT in windows it was very good i thought it can be same [22:58] What do you guys think of kde? === ekimmargni is now known as Mike_lifeguard [22:59] zagabar, then «sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf» and go to the "Device" section. [22:59] commodore256: i think kde is a waste of skin and gnome is the ultimate xDD [22:59] begginer001, I think it will be better. =) [22:59] commodore256: im using kde [22:59] Gnome + gnomedo is amazing. [22:59] If I install an old version of a package with dpkg, how can I set apt-get to not try to upgrade it? [22:59] commodore256, KDE = bloatware... In my opinion. [22:59] Yeah, KDE is so hard to get used to, but it looks more modern than gmone [23:00] If you ask me gnome looks a lot cleaner [23:00] I love gnome-do ^_^ [23:00] commodore256: if you where vista user KDE is very good for you [23:00] commodore256, 'modern' is a totally subjective adjective... [23:00] im vista user [23:00] and its very easy to go in KDE [23:00] I'd rather use vista than kde [23:01] lol [23:01] hey all [23:01] O.o [23:01] Booo! [23:01] commodore256: everyone on here knows win7 is where its at [23:01] commodore256: vista isn't bad! [23:01] begginer001, indeed. But it really *eats* RAM... Shame... So I'm happy with my GNOME Light: just 1 kcal. ;) [23:01] commodore256: you're like double a c128. [23:01] i installed libdvdcss2 but the built-in gnome dvd player still says it's missing components [23:01] lol [23:01] Canadaeh19: win7 is gonna be good! [23:02] what do I need to do? [23:02] ill try gnome if you say [23:02] Odameyer: Yea its realy good i have dual boot with buntu and windows 7 [23:02] I like the dock-like taskbar [23:02] texasjack: i respect opinion of experts [23:02] Canadaeh19: I tried the RC2 and I was dissapointed [23:02] commodore256: gnome-do = dosklike taskbar, [23:02] begginer001, I'm really *NOT* and expert!!! [23:02] Canadaeh19: the beta is much betta! [23:02] Odameyer: Why so dissapointed? [23:02] begginer001, don't get confused, brother tux... [23:03] Odameyer: i found my beta gettings slow, and being homo, RC is muuuch better for me. [23:03] texasjack: maybe for me yes ! [23:03] Canadaeh19: it was just ugly and the new taskbar is annoying [23:03] haha [23:03] begginer001, ;) === crunchbang is now known as WB2Colorado [23:03] kdevelop works in gnome too ? [23:03] Odameyer: i would click on volume button, 5 mins late it would pop up after i forgot about it, [23:03] Canadaeh19: haha, my speakers on mah lappy don't work in ubuntu :( [23:04] Odameyer: lol, you should find a fix for that, if there is one.. what kinda laptop you sport? [23:04] begginer001, but, really, I'm not an expert... I'm just used to be here at ##ubuntu for a couple of days and my experience is changing in an exponential curve... [23:04] My mic doesnt work on buntu. [23:04] begginer001, it works. [23:04] Canadaeh19: i've looked everywhere, there are no drivers [23:04] Anyone know where can I obtain the VMWare Tools .tar file? [23:04] texasjack: Hm, I tried to do what you said. Firstly, I couldn't switch to text only with ctrl + shift + F1 while stuck in the colour mess, so I rebooted it and pressed ctrl + shift + F1 while loading the OS and then it switched successfully and eventually got to a login prompt. However, about 5 seconds after, the screen changed to the colour mess again. It looks like a random mess on the down half of the screen, and on the other half, [23:04] You can try to use the windows drivers [23:04] Canadaeh19: I havn't tried my mic or my webcam [23:05] With that one proggy, forget the name.. [23:05] texasjack: are you a programmer ? [23:05] Canadaeh19: do you want to go in another channel that is less crowded? [23:05] Canadaeh19: your pick! [23:05] lol, i dono how to pick channels im noob at irc [23:05] I'm using an Olevia LCD TV as my monitor in linux. How can I get the resolution past 1280x768? In windows I can get it to 1920x1080 @ 60 Hz. [23:05] Canadaeh19: haha [23:05] begginer001, GNOME and KDE aren't different things... They just manage how you desktop looks. Everything that works on gnome, works on kde, and vice-versa. Until now I never used some software that contradict this. [23:06] Canadaeh19: "/join #" [23:06] lol, how do you find the channels [23:06] lol, [23:06] zagabar, its ++, not ... [23:06] Canadaeh19: I don't know how to explain that [23:06] texasjack: :) [23:07] texasjack: i dont see any problem them [23:07] Canadaeh19: just join "ubuntu-us-oh" [23:07] begginer001, I'm trying to be.

I tried to do what you said by switching to text mode with ctrl alt F1, but shortly after the ogin prompt appeared, I got the mess again. [23:16] donder: Yes and yes, but your system BIOS has to support booting from USB if you want to actually boot from it [23:18] RedLance1, Great!

Gparted sees the two partitions but in the nautilus explorer "Computer" I can only see one partition.. What should i do..

[23:44] anyone know how to "repair install" ubuntu? without loosing installed apps (except drivers, ...)? [23:44] (they are broken) [23:44] VCoolio - That works wonderful, thanks.... now i got another question... whenever i click on my desktop, conky goes away... how do i fix that [23:44] donder: did u also format both? [23:44] chiggins: even easier: ${pre_exec hostname} lol [23:44] luke_ you can't get visual effects when you do not have a working driver, your gonna have to remove your driver then install it [23:44] effect is gut but cedega doesnt work [23:45] chiggins: ah yes, change your "own_window_type" to normal [23:45] set_: go to system->administration->software sources and make sure you have the restricted box checked [23:45] brayden, do i do that in the synaptic package manager? [23:45] MaT-dg, yeah. Unplugging and replugging the drive worked [23:46] set_:also under the updates tab check updates and backports, dont do proposed though [23:46] However in the USB Startup Disk creator only one of the partitions shows up... I can see both in "Computer". What could cause this? Thanks [23:46] luke_ you can do it through command line. what graphics driver version have you got and waht graphics card? [23:46] Nickserv [23:47] i'm not sure what driver i have, (still a noob) but my card is a X3100 also called i965 i believe, its a macbook 4,1 [23:47] when i switch between dvorak and querty the arrow keys and window keys stops working. i use this command: 'setxkbmap -rules xorg -model pc105 -layout us'. maybe the problem is the keyboard model? I use dinovo edge. how to find the exact string for my keyboard? [23:47] chiggins: I checked and conky has a variable itself for hostname, so just do $nodename and your good; but my previous solution may give you a hint for other usage [23:47] luke_ is your's a nvidia card, ati or intel integrated graphics? [23:47] *you're [23:48] brayden, its intel itegrated [23:48] test [23:48] buhrietoe: Do you know what driver to use to the ATI radeon mobility cards? [23:48] oh, sorry luke_ i'm not familiar with those ones [23:48] zagabar: it should be the fglrx but i'm not 100% sure [23:49] buhrietoe: Is there no other one to try? [23:49] brayden, bummer, thanks for trying [23:49] i just installed ubuntu dual booting with xp, and now when I try to boot to xp, it hangs after selecting it in grub, saying "Starting up..." === kevin___ is now known as Canadaeh19 [23:49] luke_ i'll see if i can find it in the repos [23:49] zagabar: vesa is always a failsafe, but no 3d and slow [23:49] luke_: at least then I'll know what to remove [23:50] buhrietoe: Thanks, I'll try to see if it boots with it. [23:50] brayden, thanks man [23:50] hello, I just switched to kubuntu and i'm digging it so far, but i can't print anything. It is a Lexmark z730. Lexmark doesn't have the model on their site, and i've searched fourms and can't find anything. I do have the install disk that came with the printer. [23:51] VCoolio - Sweet man that works... My .conkyrc script came with own_window_type being override... what is the advantage to having that [23:51] beachside, the install disk will not help you much [23:51] ubottu, !package-manager > begginer001 [23:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about package-manager [23:51] ubottu, !package manager > begginer001 [23:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about package manager [23:51] beachside, check out linuxprinting.org [23:51] yeah [23:51] ubottu: [23:52] chiggins: never found that out; you can choose between desktop, normal, override and with the newest also dock; desktop has the advantage of not needing the own_window_hints [23:52] luke_ when searching your model number in the repos i found one package that apperaed to be a driver. it was xserver-xorg-video-intel [23:52] beachside, Lexmark are kinda notorious about not being linux friendly [23:52] ubottu: i have some trubles installing a software [23:52] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:52] What's the name of the KDE package manager? [23:52] is see that in my package manager brayden, should i uninstall then re install it, or is there more to it? [23:52] VCoolio - Thanks again man! [23:53] hi, i have some troubles with ubu 9.04 with ext4 fs [23:53] im read instruction then write spy in synaptic fglrx-control and install this but im don t have this [23:53] chiggins: override seems to override some things the window manager might want to do, don't know what it would prevent though [23:53] system freezes while deleting files [23:53] aDeck: oh great sarcasm! since Ext4 in Ubuntu is maybe no quite 100% stable, since I am not even getting in that here now, but in other distros it is stable now [23:53] aDeck: what's the issue? [23:54] beachside, any help yet? [23:54] luke_ to remove all the dependancies from a package you type into terminal e.g. sudo apt-get autoremove xserver-xorg-video-intel then you can just reinstall it with the apt-get install command. this of course requires reboot [23:54] thank skrite [23:54] this card see my system DRI R300 Project [23:54] aDeck: uh that message came out a bit bad let's correct that. Oh great sarcasm! Since Ext4 in Ubuntu is maybe not 100% stable yet, since... I am not getting in to that here now. In other distros it is stable though. What is your issue? [23:55] brayden, thanks alot! i'll try that right now [23:55] beachside, come back here if you have further trouble, lexmark not being linux-friendly does not mean that it cannot work, but in the future, i recommend HP [23:55] luke_, good luck [23:55] :) [23:56] /quit [23:56] aDeck: some people are rather negative when it comes to Ext4 and Ubuntu 9.04. === brEz is now known as _brEz === _brEz is now known as brEz [23:58] you need to reformat to go from ext3 to ext4 right? [23:58] aDeck: oh it's the freeze issue, that's in the release notes [23:58] can anyone please help me, when reinstalling grub im getting this http://pastebin.com/m2d8de267 [23:58] VCoolio - Now, how can i make columns, for like, top processes [23:58] aDeck: I think you can install a later kernel from a ppa, and that might help [23:58] Dimitriid, yes, but you can do it without wiping out your stuff if you use gparted [23:58] Dimitriid, but backup everything first, of course [23:58] skrite, you mean make a partition, move everything, formating then moving back? [23:58] long but doable yes [23:58] ubottu !adept > begginer001 [23:58] begginer001, please see my private message [23:59] chiggins: with alignr, goto etc, wait I'll give you a link [23:59] sebsebseb: ok thx :-) [23:59] Dimitriid, or resize the partition [23:59] Dimitriid, pita way to do it though [23:59] skrite, I might make a new partition on ext4 for arch [23:59] Dimitriid, but yes, have to re-format to go from ext3 to ext4
