[00:01] it always worked [00:01] I dunno what happened [00:01] but it's an atheros adaptor [00:01] ActionParsnip: All configuration for pretty much every program is kept in either /home/.programname (hidden files) Or in /etc/ [00:01] so it should work with no problems [00:02] ya [00:02] is teher a tool that wakes my pc up in the morning and sounds the wakup alarm?

[00:03] Is there any way to restore an *existing* Ubuntu system backup into an encrypted LVM, including the partitioning? [00:04] you can mount the existing partition [00:04] I just discovered that the Live CD does not know how to mount the LUKS LVM that the alternate installer created. :-/ [00:04] not sure about making it into a encrypted lvm [00:04] bye [00:04] ActionParsnip: Maybe this helps?? http://forums.getswiftfox.com/viewtopic.php?t=72&sid=76489ad2f40dd7ed20d421103ece11bb [00:05] The problem I'm having is that while I can certainly copy files into a running Ubuntu system that uses encrypted LVM, that's no good for backup/restore.

[00:07] TimMc: thanks! [00:07] glitsj16: i'll ceck that out [00:08] StephenZuc: It's great if you don't have access to external media, like when I had a computer with a broken optical drive [00:08] and it couldn't boot from USB [00:08] All I did was save the linux and initrd.gz files in the root directory and manually load them from the grub screen [00:08] StephenZuc: PM me if you need help with netboot [00:09] TimMc: There a page out there with more info thaty ou're familiar with?

[00:46] !apache [00:46] Cmclean: install debian [00:46] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [00:46] webpigeon, Amorstus besides the one from the repos is even older than the ubuntu itself :P [00:47] It does not increase the operating system window if you put it in full screen [00:47] racecar56, oh dear... xD [00:48] NetLarIrvine, you need to change the resolution of the guest OS [00:48] What is the difference between Desktop and Server versions of Ubuntu? [00:48] webpigeon, i know... cURL 7.16.2 for the fail [00:48] Cmclean::: server comes with no gui installed [00:48] webpigeon, man... HARDY has a newer version (i think) [00:48] how do i make ubuntu recognise a program by just its name in the shell? [00:48] Cmclean, server has no gui [00:48] racecar56, XD [00:48] ahh ok [00:48] brb [00:48] i.e. without the path [00:48] TheMG: aliases? [00:48] Cmclean::: they both use the same software repos, but they have have different set of software installed by default [00:48] TheMG, add it to /usr/local/bin [00:49] hey guys trying to increase the size of my ubuntu boot partition. i tryed gparted. but the partition i need to make bigger is at the end of the disk. [00:49] OK so server requires less hardware? And also, does a server need a monitor? [00:50] no [00:50] Cmclean: no, I run ubuntu server on my.. well, server [00:50] What? [00:51] Can i use an old computer as a server? [00:51] sure, you can use whatever you want as a server [00:51] how often does ubuntu release updates? [00:51] Cmclean, a server is not for games and stuff.... you do know that... right? [00:51] Raydiation: new versions or just updates to programs? [00:52] Cmclean::: yes [00:52] Yes [00:52] Hello please This is driving me insane I hope you can help me out! well I have a mic (a complete headset),and when I try to talk through Tokbox there's a weird problemeople have told me that they hear Echoes from my computer, and I have my headset on! (Note: I don't have Speakers) , I've been trying to do something (the speaker icon in the volume control) [00:52] Cmclean::: want to see a picture of my server? [00:52] I want to run web pages, etc. [00:52] and nothing..., ah! and the weirdest is that in the options tab --> where It says Options select a mic, It says MIC 1 AND MIC 2; where's that MIC 2? [00:52] billybigrigger: sure [00:53] how can i add a boot partition to the ubuntu boot loader (grub i think)) [00:53] Xet, possibly you could mute that mic in the sound settings? [00:53] Cmclean::: http://imagebin.ca/view/NTFzDoWU.html [00:53] bastidrazor: do i move the bin alone, or all its files? [00:53] Also, a friend let me have access to his server a while ago... and it had buttons and stuff to add and remove things. It was really easy. What was that? [00:54] Cmclean: was this through a web browser? [00:54] Xet: Yea, normally there a re several superfluous options in the volume control... One reason could be if you have some internal mic working along as well? [00:54] Cmclean::: its running 9.04 server, 40gb hdd, 1gb ram, running apache/mysql/php/dovecot/postfix/webmail [00:54] Cmclean::: runs like a top [00:54] TheMG, just the bin.. the bin will have to know where its files are. [00:54] Eevee: yes [00:54] Cmclean: was probably cpanel or such then [00:54] bastidrazor: its files are all on my memory stick [00:54] bastidrazor: im doubting it knows that [00:54] arand: that's what I don't know, the internal mic thing,sorry I'm a newbie [00:55] billybigrigger: so you mean that is a picture of your desktop and it is communitating to your server through something? [00:55] Cmclean::: no that is the server [00:55] Cmclean::: in virtual box :P [00:55] Eevee: is cPanel hard to set up/possible? [00:55] eevee can i pm you real quick ? i just need some help with a command ? [00:55] billybigrigger: why virtual box? [00:55] Cmclean::: it replaced my old pentium server, that was a loud ass energy hog [00:55] xcerca: why not ask here? [00:55] TheMG, you could symlink the bin and leave the original where it is. [00:55] Cmclean::: better on the environment than have an old pos computer sitting in the corning of my room being loud and wasting power [00:56] billybigrigger: what do you mean by webmail? [00:56] Cmclean: I don't think it's hard to set up, but honestly I prefer to run without it [00:56] Xet: well internal mics are sneaky anyhow, what happens if you disconnect the external mic and talk, they hear anything? [00:56] Cmclean::: http://webmail.thefrozencanuck.ca [00:56] TheMG, sudo ln -s /path/to/binfile /usr/local/bin/binfile [00:56] arand: They hear like a feedback from the computer according to them of course [00:56] Cmclean::: i use my virtual server as a mail server, i get my mail billybigrigger@thefrozencanuck.ca via Thunderbird, or Webmail, where i am [00:56] billybigrigger: so is all the mail on that computer? [00:57] Cmclean::: yeah [00:57] Opera fails to recognise my java installation. [00:57] Why is this? [00:57] Cmclean::: its just an AJAX client that connects to my imap/smtp server on my server [00:57] How good does your hardware have to be to run a basic web server or two? [00:57] I put /usr/bin/java (which is the output of which java) into the dialog box [00:57] Cmclean::: minimal [00:58] and it says "unable to locate valid java install; choose a different directory" [00:58] hi can anyone help me connect to my wifi network with my asus eeepc using ubuntu 8.0.4?

[00:58] i also have netbook remix installed, but can get into terminal. [00:58] Cmclean, no, it's the most complex way [00:58] Cmclean::: thats my server, only using 27% of my memory [00:58] oh great [00:58] Cmclean: the *easiest* way is to pay $5 for an existing host [00:58] Cmclean::: and i allocated it 1GB [00:58] Cmclean::: you can run a server from 20gb hdd and 512meg ram if you want [00:58] n/m i got it [00:58] Cmclean::: its headless, you don't need a gui [00:59] Well I want gui.... [00:59] Cmclean, the easyest way is to find a free website, there is only about... oooh, 20 billon free hosts out there. [00:59] Cmclean::: then its not a server [00:59] billybigrigger: what about windows server :P [00:59] Yah how good is windows server? [00:59] Eevee::: haha why would you even ask? [00:59] Cmclean: when they say "no GUI" they mean there's no desktop. you can run web interfaces like cpanel [00:59] Ok... i was listening to a network stream, and the sound started jittering. It's still doing it - it sounds like a machine gun, repeating a fraction of a second of sound. I closed the app that was playing the sound, but the jittering is still happening. How can I find out what the issue is and fix it without rebooting? [01:00] Cmclean, windows server is rubbish [01:00] I honestly think that My Chemical Romance just crashed my compiz [01:00] I have had these problems before, but not for a couple months [01:00] Cmclean: I hear it's a better desktop than regular windows! but can't speak for how it is as a server. having to use remote desktop to do anything seems like a colossal pain though [01:01] webpigeon::: how is running a virtual server the most complicated way to run a webserver? [01:01] Eevee, why waste rescourses running a desktop on a mashine [01:01] I am booted in a Live CD. I have three hard drives - some with multiple partitions. How can I find out (for GRUB purposes) which are called what? (ie hd0, hd1, hd2, etc) [01:01] billybigrigger, because you've attually got to maintain the server, and he's not talking about an VM, he's talking about running ubuntu-server on old hardware [01:01] TwoToneSpirit::: sudo fdisk -l [01:02] TwoToneSpirit::: sda1 = 0,0 in grub [01:02] TwoToneSpirit::: sda2 0,1.....sda3 0,2 [01:02] TwoToneSpirit::: sdb1 1,0......sdb2 1,1 [01:03] webpigeon::: why waste energy? recycle the old pos server and run a vm [01:03] webpigeon::: its not any more complicated that ACTUALLY running a server [01:03] and its more EE [01:03] billybigrigger, thats my point... [01:04] webpigeon::: you make it sound like running a virtual server is complicated, when its not [01:04] billybigrigger, he has 0 experance with servers, so why not get a managed shared host? [01:04] webpigeon::: i didn't either [01:04] billybigrigger: ...and how can I tell which partition I need to point to for a (shudder) windows installation? I tried setting it to 1,0 which is an NTFS partition that has windows installed, and I get error 22 [01:05] webpigeon::: i had my 9.04 server in Vbox running web/mysql/php/dovecot/postfix/roundcube/drupal running in a few hours [01:05] billybigrigger, because he didn't want to learn how to use terminal, [01:05] TwoToneSpirit::: sudo grub [01:05] TwoToneSpirit::: grub> find /grub/stage1 [01:05] billybigrigger, and i take it before those few hours you didn't know what a server was? [01:05] TwoToneSpirit::: oh nevermind, i read that wrong [01:05] TwoToneSpirit::: you want to run windows? [01:06] billybigrigger: I just want to figure out what i need to put in grub.lst to point to the windows installation [01:06] https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/index.html [01:06] TwoToneSpirit::: oooh [01:07] hi, i'd like to know what the different colors of ls mean: http://files.getdropbox.com/u/1147499/ls-colors.png the files wich are marked with dark green cause problems to me, but the light green work fine for me [01:07] back [01:07] i have no clue whats going on there ;) [01:07] TwoToneSpirit::: did grub detect windows? [01:08] TwoToneSpirit::: look in your menu.lst and see if theres a stanza for windows [01:08] Is there a tool in ubuntu I can use to find out all domains youtube.com has in use? [01:08] I made nvidia rewrite my xorg.conf and now I have no sound. Can anyone give me a hand fixing this? [01:08] billybigrigger: There is - it's the one I put there. How can I compell grub to attempt to detect windows? [01:08] pw-toxic, use ls -al and you'll see the permissions and ownership.. that should explain it a bit more [01:08] pw-toxic: what do you mean, 'cause problems'?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:42] windows 7 is just decent ... they make it simple but it's still the big one with low performance ... they just taken drivers at their charge with codecs ... but that mean a real monopolistic issue [01:43] no themes [01:43] its working [01:43] i dont stufy it, so i dont play with my computers- i use them for real stuff :P [01:43] *study [01:43] so, i found tons of config files === T`_ is now known as T`2 [01:44] hotkoi: maybe your trolling, or you don't know that much about Linux yet hum [01:44] hotkoi try Slitaz for a low end pc (old crapware) and linux mint on a good or new pc ... [01:44] how to completely wipe drive when it only recognizes one parition.. [01:44] why is it windows vs ubuntu [01:44] hotkoi: what kinda specs [01:44] thought this was a support channel... [01:44] its linux mint 7 on the desktop [01:44] till that you don't know even a little what linux can do ... [01:45] anyway i dont know hy they didnt copy the "superbar" [01:45] jrib: Still about? Maybe you can sort out the off topic [01:45] its a quite good idea [01:45] * faileas is running lxde on an old comp. other than it going crazy when apt checks for updates, it works REALLY well [01:45] i don't get how it can handle youtube, and playing movies, and not apt ;p [01:45] please stay on-topic guys.... Take non-support discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic [01:46] faileas I maked my Slitaz live usb and I won't live without it [01:46] hotkoi: while I would like to see an improved taskbar, the superbar kinda sucks. it's the ancient "collapse similar windows" from XP etc but with big icons [01:46] but speaking of [01:46] Does anyone know of an in-browser terminal emulator? [01:46] >> IN ALSA: I have two sound cards (0 and 1), how do I switch their order? (aka: set card 1 as card 0) [01:46] IS there an alternative to the window list panel? [01:46] if i run dosbox from terminal it loads my config file just fine, but if i try to use a desktop shortcut i've created it bypasses the config file [01:46] entraide-net: tried it, its not bad. but it needs a fair amount of ram in live mode last i tried it [01:46] thanks for the flames... [01:46] nice support channel [01:46] can't figure out why O.O [01:46] TheFuzzball, try guake on gnome ... [01:47] entraide-net: that's a drop-down terminal, I want a terminal that is inside of my web browser. [01:47] TheFuzzball: isn't that a security risk? [01:48] TheFuzzball: umm. why? [01:48] i vaguely rememeber webmin might allow you to run commands though, or some other thing that was depriciated [01:49] faileas: kind of, but only if the page isn't encrypted and you don't have a strong password [01:49] Eevee: So I can access my box from computers without puTTY :D [01:49] Eevee: and because it's cool. [01:50] there is no terminal in browser as far as I know but an old tutorial can embed it on your wallpaper ... [01:50] TheFuzzball: well, if you could write an ssh client in java... ;p [01:50] I have in fact seen an ssh client in java [01:50] is there another way to switch virtual consoles, besides ctrl-alt- and a function key? [01:50] So far I've found Anytem and Ajaxterm, but there is no package in Ubuntu's repos. [01:51] but I don't know why you'd want to do that instead of use an ssh client [01:51] I remember finding one that was in the repos [01:51] ctrl+alt+F1 or backspace depend of your needs [01:51] I'm using two monitors in separate X workspaces.. After configuring my nvidia settings for that, I have lost my title bar as soon as I enable any visual effects. [01:52] TheFuzzball just compile a source ... [01:52] (title bar for all windows) [01:52] TomV-415 compiz is a worthless project it was always buggy [01:53] I love those rotating cube desktops... any other options? [01:53] just cut it down for now [01:53] rotating cube workspaces that is.. [01:53] just use it when it's really needed [01:54] with a shortcut to enable/disable it [01:54] check www.ubuntu1501.com a little for a decent tutorial ... [01:54] hmmm.... === ville__ is now known as slashdut [01:55] i think i got ubuntu 9.04 to work on 128 megs of ram O_O [01:55] \exit [01:55] join #css === mikepark_ is now known as mikepark [01:55] racecar56: how? with a 512MB or so SWAP? [01:56] sebsebseb, it's a live cd, i dont know [01:56] sebsebseb, it's a vbox machine [01:56] racecar56: have you already got a swap on there? [01:56] sebsebseb, idk how i did it [01:56] thanks entraide-net, anyone else have any suggestions - have you seen the titlebar disapear? [01:56] racecar56: Vbox with 128MB RAM??? [01:56] sebsebseb, its a blank disk [01:56] compiz project was supposed to die and kde4 is so bloated that most people are using gnome or kde 3 ... [01:56] sebsebseb, no no no silly the vm has 128 megs [01:56] sebsebseb, my host pc has 1 gig [01:57] racecar56: right well Virtualbox does it's virtual RAM differnetly from pshyical RAM [01:57] racecar56: or something like that [01:57] sebsebseb, umm it ran somewhat (the vm) but it's like hanged [01:57] sebsebseb, i didn't expect it to work [01:57] Does gnome have the rotating cube? [01:57] yeah [01:57] sorta [01:57] TomV-415: no that's Compiz [01:57] TomV-415 don't dream too much I was having the same problems on many linux distros on a few years ... [01:57] !compiz | TomV-415 [01:57] sebsebseb, what about qemu, is it different with its ram [01:57] TomV-415: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [01:57] another question: how can i find a metadata-file? its not find *.metadata -type f or?! [01:57] racecar56: oh been awhile since I did anything with Qemu, but that was fun to do [01:58] is there a way i can set elevator=noop for internal hard drives only and keep elevator=cfq as the default for USB drives? i'd like to apply the noop scheduler to internal disks as early as possible in the boot process [01:58] sebsebseb, i am trying to make a remaster [01:58] racecar56: I guess same thing for Qemu, also Qemu is an actsaul hardare emulater unlike Virtualbox [01:58] sebsebseb, ja [01:58] sebsebseb, ya [01:58] It all worked great until I split my two desktops.. [01:58] sebsebseb, i like qemu as it's lightweight but vbox is more fast [01:58] (that is using dual monitors, split into two separate x sessions.) [01:58] hotkoi: find . -name \*.metadata -type f [01:59] thanks! [01:59] sebsebseb, trying ubuntu 9.04 again with 256 ram in vbox [01:59] racecar56: what's your host OS? [01:59] sebsebseb, ubuntu 9.04, what else [01:59] sebsebseb, heh heh [01:59] sebsebseb, "I don't do windows" [01:59] racecar56: well 9.04 in a vm that's a bit boring, Karmic alpha2 would be more fun, oh and Fedora 11 in a vm :) [01:59] Question: do I download Eclipse from the 9.04 repository, or do I install and compile from source from the eclipse website? [01:59] why does runlevel tell me I'm in runlevel 2 (yes I know ubuntu doesn't really use runlevels)? [01:59] I have kde running [02:00] sebsebseb, i don't want my first distro based on karmic yet [02:00] sebsebseb, i want to try on something stable [02:00] man I hate when some other window manager messes up the alt+-> combination :( [02:00] I want to be in runlevel 5, I think [02:00] sebsebseb, and i like the 'set focus under mouse' thingy too [02:00] !runlevel [02:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about runlevel [02:00] racecar56: whatever that is? [02:00] sebsebseb, i'm seeing the vbox vm while having xchat in back [02:01] whoa, focus-follow-mouse drives me crazy [02:01] I knock my mouse out of the way all the time [02:01] halberd: redhat-like distros use 3 and 5, debian-like distros use 2 always [02:01] racecar56: Xchat hum Konversation :) [02:01] what is runlevel? some permissions perhaps? :P [02:01] jtaji, wikipedia says that runlevel 2 on ubuntu has most network services disabled [02:01] sebsebseb, umm im not kde and by the way 256 is much better [02:01] and that runlevel 5 has a gui login, as well as virtual consoles [02:01] halberd: that is incorrect [02:01] racecar56: you can run KDE apps inside Gnome :d [02:01] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runlevel#Ubuntu [02:01] sebsebseb, i know [02:02] sebsebseb, even fluxbox too [02:02] and I can't get to any virtual consoles [02:02] ctrl-alt-function key doesn't work [02:02] sebsebseb, and wmaker (my fave window manager :D) [02:02] racecar56: ah ok [02:02] sebsebseb, im on gnome now [02:02] racecar56: yeah and we were offtopic, but the channel didn't have much life in it either [02:03] sebsebseb, i have a bit of an old computer so i like to use wmaker [02:03] can someone help my diagnose my wifi issues? [02:03] topchef: no, but this might be useful [02:03] !wireless | topchef [02:03] topchef: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [02:04] racecar56: ah ok [02:04] ubottu: i've tried that [02:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about i've tried that [02:04] topchef: :D [02:04] or that is sebseb i've tried it [02:04] !bot | topchef [02:04] topchef: Hi!

[02:04] racecar56: Puppy LInux will probably work well on there, and DSL [02:05] halberd: ps aux | grep getty [02:05] sebsebseb, im sure it would but this thing is good enough to run intrepid [02:05] sebsebseb, the most intense (i think) one [02:05] anyone know when 8.04 will stop being supported offhand? It works well with my PCMCIA wireless card without me having to do a thing to it or the OS. [02:05] Well, now I [02:05] !llts [02:05] well, now I'm just getting the grub menu when I boot.

[02:20] hello, can anyone help me configure my networking [02:20] MarkTraceur 9.04 is just a stable version to be sure to have all what you need you should stick with the LTS release like 8.04 [02:20] i see that 9.04 introduces a fade on the desktop when switching backgrounds, is gnome turning into....

I doubt c# thats all ms [03:03] So, I'm assuming that you have the ordinary grub menus as they are set up by default on Ubuntu, but do not have an option to boot MS windows because you wiped Windows out with the Ubuntu install process?

I think mono utilizes bindings for GTK. [03:05] yea, i know [03:05] (as in, before they're released) [03:05] Flannel: Thanks, it worked :) [03:05] why is it sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade doesn't always upgrade === cryptide_tv is now known as cryptide [03:06] Flannel: sorry i hit enter too fast [03:06] Animagladius::: so you want to upgrade FROM 8.04 to what? 8.10? [03:06] Animagladius: You'll need to make sure you go to software sources and change it to any release, not just LTS [03:06] i have to go into update-manager to do it [03:06] q0_0p: dist-upgrade (see man apt-get) [03:06] q0_0p: What sort of upgrade are you talking about? [03:06] I did, Flannel, right in the beginning === mib_qnpno2fg is now known as zebra [03:06] Animagladius::: if you want to go from 8.04 to 9.04 you have to download the 9.04 cd and install that way, or upgrade to 8.10, then 9.04 [03:06] like packages [03:06] update packages [03:06] not a dist-upgrade [03:06] I think upgrading to 8.10 first is the easier way, right? [03:06] q0_0p: you have not read what dist-upgrade means [03:07] q0_0p: update / upgrade will upgrade packages (except kernel stuff usually), for that, you have to use dist-upgrade [03:07] Animagladius::: sure [03:07] Oh wait, Flannel, it didn't. I misread the output, here it is again: http://pastebin.com/m128dd031 [03:07] oh ok i guess i should read the man pages for it [03:07] my bad [03:07] wow, if only everyone would say that [03:07] Mike94287: What directory were you in before you started ftp? [03:07] i guess i should read the man pages for it [03:07] haha [03:08] Flannel: I wasn't in any custom directory, the command line looked like mike@mike-desktop:~$ [03:09] K, got it, thanks! [03:09] Rister: Oh, of course. It might be easiest to leave Grub in place and use it to boot into windows, then you could use a Windows tool (couldn't help you there, haven't used Windows in seven years) to fix the MBR. To do this, I believe that what you have to do is "chain load" the Windows O.S. so... to do that; reboot, and press C for command prompt. and follow the directions under "Load another boot loader" as found here: http://www.linu [03:09] Mike94287: Try this: put /home/mike/Desktop/screenshot1.png screenshot1.png [03:09] Your windows is likely in hd0,0 or hd0,1 (in grub terminology) [03:10] Flannel: It worked, thanks :) [03:10] Mike94287: You've likely just uploaded it in ASCII mode though, try "binary" and then that command again [03:11] hi, what's the best way to capture windows media player audio streams? I've read about streamtuner and streamripper, but that post was 3 years ago [03:11] hi [03:11] is there any quick way to hide other user's processes in ubuntu from ps x ? [03:11] so i've got a raid 1 array /dev/md1. I'd like to move my /home to be on that but I'm not sure how [03:11] or does it require kernel recompilation ? [03:11] hi [03:12] johnzw: Thanks for your help. I'll probably try installing Ubuntu again, this time in a dual-boot setup. That should get GRUB set up properly. I work with Windows on my day job so I can't quite give it up yet. [03:12] Ok Rister, Great luck! [03:12] Flannel: I'm not sure what ASCII mode means, but the image that I uploaded is showing correctly [03:12] Yanick_: i installed the w32 codecs from medibuntu to listen to wmv streams [03:12] Mike94287: Alright, then don't worry about it [03:13] hello [03:14] thiebaude, I can listen to asf audio streams, I want to capture them, and ideally, convert them into ogg/mp3 [03:14] my ubuntu command line install isn't getting internet (ethernet is amd pcnet fast III) [03:14] somebody can talk to me??

[03:25] bubble, system > admin > software sources [03:25] anyone have any idea ? [03:25] By envolope thingy, I mean the thing that shows up everytime I open Pidgin or Evolution. Does anyone know how to remove this? [03:25] Ambidextrous: from the command line [03:25] knasto: i removed it by right clicking on it [03:25] knasto, yes you can remove it, it is evolution email notification and if your not using it right click on it and remove from panel [03:26] billybigrigger, since i dont have a router - i could just do it with ufw right? [03:26] bubble, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine [03:26] copy and paste practically [03:26] ckmjr and thiebaude, If i remove it it removes all my systems indicators [03:26] Answered my own question, but for anyone else: For future reference......A Dell Poweredge 400SC bios has an "OS Install Mode" with this mode on it reduces the amount of ram to 256Meg (and apparently this machine ahs been running like this for 2 years and no one noticed) [03:27] ctmjr and thiebaude, If i remove it it removes all my systems indicators [03:27] ctmjr: does it remove update notifications? [03:28] oh wait nevermind ctmjr and thiebaude [03:28] its good now [03:28] thank you :-) [03:28] I am so bored, so I thought I would hang out just incase a question is asked that I might know the answer too, so don't mind me [03:28] knasto, i removed email help firefox and everything else stayed where it was [03:28] no one knows hot to remove other users processes from ps aux ? [03:28] how* [03:29] your right ctmjr, it was my bad [03:29] knasto: i removed it and added the pidgin icon [03:29] so ubuntu isnt completely free... [03:29] hmm... [03:29] what should i do now? [03:29] kaybash: grep? [03:29] Hammerjak: i want to remove other user's process information from ps aux [03:29] remove as in hide [03:29] this is easily done in freebsd [03:29] kaybash: grep -v? :) [03:29] but wondering how its done in ubuntu [03:29] billybigrigger, the thing is remote desktop is opened for the other NIC. I have 3 NICs on this PC [03:29] hammerjak, read my question again please. [03:30] when someone else on the machine does 'ps aux' i do not want them to see MY processes [03:30] im not asking how to find a process [03:30] ahhh i see [03:30] :) [03:30] in freebsd, its just a single line that goes into /etc/rc.conf [03:30] didn't know that. [03:30] you know more than i do on the subject :) [03:30] i managed to do it in gentoo a few years ago [03:30] havent done it for a while, was just thinking there'd be an easier way in ubuntu but google returns nothing [03:31] knasto: i went into buddy list -tools-prefernces-always show tray icon [03:31] does anyone know how to get the Shell - Queue script to work with Transmission torrent client here http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/Scripts it's this one http://pastie.org/357236 [03:31] ok thanks thiebaude, i was wondering how to get that back [03:31] knasto: im back [03:32] knasto: that's how i close pidgin [03:32] meh [03:33] thiebaude, the systray icon for pidgin shows up now withouth the envelope thingy, thanks for your help [03:33] knasto: np [03:33] !java [03:33] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [03:33] kaybash I think I remember something in the debian guides on it, did you querry for debian or ubuntu [03:34] kaybash here you go http://mydebian.blogdns.org/?p=110 [03:34] knasto: now one more thing, when you click on a link does it take you to a web page? [03:35] is the terminal command to stop compiz "compiz --replace"? i try it but it sorta breaks the environment === zero is now known as Guest71866 [03:35] I installed tracker, but I don't seem to have any type of tool for searching my fiulesa after they're indexed [03:35] err whoops i meant "metacity --replace" [03:35] Hey all Im running ubuntu Jaunty amd64 is there a way to fix flash ? everytime i use it ..i lose sound afterwords and have to reboot...and killing pulseaudio doesntfix it any help would rock! [03:36] Barridus: yeah, I get same thing, you lose the close and minimize and maximize buttons and everythign screwws up right? [03:36] Emjay, I killed off pulseaudio, and then reloaded the flash from repositories [03:36] Barridus: why don't you install fusion-icon [03:36] Barridus: it allows you to switch between metacity and compiz with a tray icon [03:36] install flashplugin-nonfree kathe ? [03:36] Any GRUB gurus on this chennel === Guest71866 is now known as zero-jt [03:36] Hammerjak, you can't put an icon button in a power manager script [03:36] Barridus, have you tried the fusion-icon to control compiz? [03:36] ah [03:37] i need the command [03:37] Emjay, either flashplugin-nonfree and the additional support package or just the adobe one, but my sound didn't work and it would crash until I loaded one or the other again [03:37] Barridus: iirc, metacity --replace will remove compiz, compiz --replace for the other way around [03:37] emjay, i've been having very good results with the 64bit flash alpha [03:37] *i should read before typing [03:37] musikgoat|main, where did you get it from ? [03:37] Pici, i thought so too, but it messes up [03:37] adobe Emjay [03:37] Barridus, 'metacity --replace &' [03:37] Barridus: How is it messing it up? [03:38] kathe, what additional support package ? [03:39] i have a weird problem with 9.04 when i boot into my system it does not start with the GUI mode so i get all those "Oks" while booting when i press Ctrl + f1 i get it for the first time but it again jumps back to the traditional way of displaying OKs but my nvidia stuff all works fine in desktop any clues on how to resolve this ? [03:39] I have Windows installed on an external USB harddrive, and GRUB didn't add it to the list when I installed Ubuntu 9.04. How may I add it myself?

[03:42] Is GRUB able to add Windows when it is installed on an external HDD? [03:42] i have a weird problem with 9.04 when i boot into my system it does not start with the GUI mode so i get all those "Oks" while booting when i press Ctrl + f1 i get it for the first time but it again jumps back to the traditional way of displaying OKs but my nvidia stuff all works fine in desktop any clues on how to resolve this ?

[03:44] i want to install it though Emjay [03:44] thomc, i am able to access the GUI Mode perfectly but while booting alone it starts with text mode though if i press ctrl + esc or f1 it just moves to GUI mode i am able to see the taskbar but it again jumps back to the old one [03:44] wbc I think you need to slip stream your windows and install that first, then install the linux os, and grub can handle it [03:44] you mmight try wine or cedega [03:44] thomc, my Nvidia video and others work perfectly fine [03:44] kathe, what is slip stream? [03:44] !slipstream [03:44] how is ntp configured on ubuntu--is it working by default?

[03:45] wbc slipstream is modifying the windows install, [03:45] kathe: Windows is already installed on the hd [03:45] kathe, I'm trying to find it, because I think it is more ease to use than to write on the xorg.conf [03:45] Emjay: first, in firefox, go to about:plugins [03:45] Emjay: and check if you have a shockwave flash plugin registered [03:45] thomc, any clues? [03:45] v: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [03:45] wbc, great, then you should just be able to install grub ontop and it will take care of it [03:46] i've uninstalled it musikgoat|main [03:46] before i install this 64bit [03:46] wbc: you going to do a dual boot? [03:46] thomc, should i use kernel framebuffer interface? [03:46] Emjay: ok, then you will put the file in /home/emjay/.mozilla/plugins [03:46] kathe: But I'm used to that grub automatically adds windows to the list [03:46] 1sec [03:46] thomc, should i say yes to it ? [03:46] Yes thiebaude [03:46] i have this error: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [03:46] Emjay: where emjay is replaced with whatever your username is [03:46] hello everybody, anyone knows where I can find in Jaunty the application that was in Applications > Other > Screens and Graphics on later editions. [03:46] kathe: when i install ubuntu of course [03:47] ok its done let me try it again [03:47] musikgoat|main, odd i dont seem to have a plugins folder in .mozilla [03:47] wbc exactly, just install ubuntu on that drive, i've never had grub fail me [03:47] wbc: oh, you want windows to be first on the grub boot? [03:47] Emjay: thats ok, create one [03:47] kathe: well you were lucky then :d [03:47] Emjay: i didn't either before this [03:48] kk [03:48] kathe: Winxp didnt get added aparently, because it is installed on an external hd [03:48] v: yes, just go through the options [03:48] ok done musikgoat|main [03:48] Emjay: now close and restart firefox [03:48] hello [03:48] thiebaude: windows isnt at the grub list at all [03:48] how do i install libgtk-1.2.so.? [03:48] Emjay: and check about:plugins for the plugin to be registerd [03:49] Emjay: and test it out [03:50] hi thomc [03:50] Anyone ever get stuck at a "GRUB _" prompt after install? [03:50] i set up a wireless connection to 802.11g network. now I need to bridge it. as soon as I addif with brctl, the connection drops [03:50] thomc, while shutting down the machine i get the GUI perfectly but while starting alone i dont get it [03:50] I can get DHCP address assigned to the interface, but it won't ping nothing. [03:50] Please help me, I want to find the application that used to be in Applications > Other > Screens and Graphics. [03:51] musikgoat|main, about:plugins File name: libflashplayer.so [03:51] Shockwave Flash 10.0 r22 [03:51] for some reason, when my wireless disconnects, client applications aren't getting told that it disconnected. I initially thought it was a problem with xchat, that it wouldn't try to reconnect b/c it never realized I had disconnected, but then I realized that ssh is doing the same thing as well [03:51] Emjay: cool, test it out [03:51] wellichen: what did that application do? [03:51] Which command do I use to see whether the HDD's are hd0 or hd1 [03:51] ? [03:51] G__81: ok. so you can boot the machine, but you don't get a graphical login is that right? but you can start the window manager with the startx command? [03:51] Hammerjak, it is an easy way to choose a proper video driver. [03:52] wbc: I have missed most of your stuff, but if you got enough RAM and your not going to 3D Windows games or some such, you can virtual machine WIndows inside Ubuntu [03:52] wbc: df [03:52] wbc: fdisk -l [03:52] or df [03:52] heh [03:52] is there no way to edit the startup applications menu icons? lol [03:52] I've run into a problem while upgrading from hardy to intrepid... [03:52] sebsebseb, that is the only reason to why I am installing winxp on another HD, heavy 3d games [03:52] wellichen: System -> Preferences -> Display ? [03:53] thomc, it gets into window manager automatically while booting in the text format. ie when i boot the first few seconds i get the Status bar then once it says loading files to boot it gets into text and then after it boots successfully i get back the GDM login and everything works fine [03:53] then on [03:53] i'm getting errors when it tries to upgrade the kernel image pkg... an error that suggested root was full... and sure enough, it was [03:53] wbc: I see, well you can get some stuff working quite well in Wine [03:53] Hammerjak, There I don't have the option to change the video driver. [03:53] hm, dunno then [03:53] sebsebseb, I have crossover professional and games [03:53] paid [03:53] wellichen: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers? [03:53] it's a 300 mb partiton... so i don't know why it would have filled. [03:54] how do i go about clearing it up... or resizing it (running ext3 & lvm) [03:54] should i again install upstart ? [03:54] bullzeye95 : let me try it. [03:54] i mean usplash ? [03:54] is there any program to put together a slideshow with music in Ubuntu easily (YET) [03:55] This is one application (a'la photostory or moviemaker) that linux needs [03:55] G__81: yes, you could try that. It seems to have worked for others with a similar issue. [03:55] newscane: sudo aptitude clean [03:55] bullzeye95, this one is to choose a proprietary driver [03:55] newscane: that will remove old cached packages [03:55] thomc, so can i just do a complete removal and install it again using synaptic? [03:55] newscane: autoclean would be better for you [03:56] musikgoat|main, its odd mozilla will play youtube videos and on the test flash at adobe it works...but still says i need a plugin...so clicking install missing plugin says no plugin ... [03:56] * Emjay confused [03:56] bullzeye95, this application works like an alternative Instead of editing xorg.conf [03:56] G__81: yes, that should work. [03:56] Emjay: interesting... it works great for me [03:56] How doI make my drive NOT read-only? [03:56] drive* [03:56] is there a way to find out if i have more than one flash plugin ? [03:57] Emjay: it's in one of the dialogs [03:57] wellichen: ah I think I misunderstood what you said.. sorry, I can't help you [03:57] Emjay: sudo updatedb;locate libflash [03:57] thomc, have installed it let me check [03:58] is it possible to make my remaster in a chroot system have a separate xorg screen on my real system? [03:58] musikgoat: ran that, cleared no space. I think I'd already run it [03:58] and they were going to var, a separate partition [03:58] Emjay: about:plugins in firefox url box might help [03:58] /home/emjay/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so [03:58] /usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.0/program/libflashlx.so [03:58] Emjay: your good then [03:58] bullzeye95, in this program I can choose the Screens and the drivers for my graphic card. You can see about it at : http://my.opera.com/sjosul/blog/ubuntu-8-04-dual-monitor-setup [03:59] odd maybe a restart of x ? [03:59] where does mdadm --examine --scan get its information from... how do I remove information from showing up in here? [03:59] is it possible to have a chroot jail have a separate xorg screen on my real system? [03:59] Emjay: i don't see how that would affect ff [03:59] Emjay: doubt that would help [03:59] still no sound [03:59] Emjay: is sound the only problem? [04:00] not really....I lose sound when i use flash. ..and some sites that i upload to like disperseit.com the flash install doesnt work === NoNoZeBeSt is now known as A === john is now known as Guest90124 [04:00] does anyone know how to get the Shell - Queue script to work with Transmission torrent client here http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/Scripts it's this one http://pastie.org/357236 [04:01] * A fatal error occurred in process 0040:039995 please reboot to correct the problem === A is now known as NoNoZeBeSt [04:01] Gparted gives me "unable to read the contents of this file system" but I can read the file system in DOS. It's an NTFS file system, and it worked earlier today, before some grub insanity. Any suggestions? [04:01] I am running 64bit Ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop and am trying to get a script made to network to my wireless router from the command line not from the gui which works fine. I tried ps to find what the gui does to initiate the wireless but that don't work; Does anyone have a command to start the wireless network? [04:01] any ideas for my problem about client apps not getting notified that the internet is down? [04:02] jdu, not really....I lose sound when i use flash. ..and some sites that i upload to like disperseit.com the flash install doesnt work [04:02] anyone else having trouble connecting to pidgin? [04:03] my pidgin is working fine with msn and yahoo zaccour [04:03] musikgoat: any more suggestions? [04:03] Emjay: I would try removing flash entirely, and then reinstall it by a different method. [04:03] for me its not working with yahoo [04:03] Hi, is there something I can use to burn 3 types of ubuntu iso onto 1 dvd with a menu to choose which one to boot? like desktop32bit/alternative/desktop64bit for example [04:03] Emjay, for me its not working with yahoo [04:03] What is the command to go one the parent directory of the one you currently are in? [04:03] Emjay : I think that it is a firefox bug. Because if you intall the flashplugin-nonfree using the synaptic, when you access any site that uses flash it don't work. [04:03] In terminal [04:03] wbc: cd .. [04:03] very true wellichen [04:03] Thanks Flannel [04:04] i have succes with other browsers ... like seamonkey [04:04] susbwoy: I believe the DVD already contains Desktop + Alternate (but only for one arch) [04:04] Emjay: which firefox are you using? [04:04] i used to use aoss to prefix my apps i wanted to sahre the oss and also setup, i think i remember seeing something similar for pulse am i wrong? [04:04] oss & alsa* [04:04] jdu, 3.0.11 [04:04] i belive [04:05] Emjay : I really get it working fine when I found a site thats require flash and like a magic the Firefox asked me If I want to install it. [04:05] Emjay: 32 or 64 bit? [04:05] Any NTFS / partition people here? I can't seem to mount this NTFS partition. [04:05] TwoToneSpirit, ntfs-3g [04:05] Enter text here...ggggjjkkkkl010d010d010d [04:05] jdo_, it was installed with the amd64 jaunty [04:05] Emjay, I had flash problems with the synaptic flash but got satisfaction after removing the repository flash and installng the flash from their web site [04:05] er jdu [04:05] Flannel: yeah just wondering if there is ubuntu software that will let me do it with any ISO. Windows xp cd-iso/ubuntu cd-iso/openbsd cd-iso on 1 dvd for example [04:05] racecar56: Come again? [04:06] Emjay: sorry, then it is probably 32 [04:06] TwoToneSpirit, arr u using ntfs-3g? [04:06] If I want to make a bash script that constantly checks for a file in a certain directory, would it slow down my computer a lot to have it running all the time? [04:06] isnt there a 3.5 firefox ? [04:06] Emjay: I would try w30's suggestion because I don't have problems and i got it from the website. [04:06] Emjay: still beta [04:06] racecar56: You know, I'm not even sure. [04:06] what happened to firefox 3.1 anywayu [04:06] TwoToneSpirit, hmm [04:06] Mike94287, define 'all the time' [04:07] TwoToneSpirit, sudo mount /dev/xdyz -t ntfs-3g [04:07] Emjay, however I have 64bit [04:07] racecar56: Using UBCD, I can boot up into a read-only mode where I can see the files in DOS. That's the best I've got [04:07] TwoToneSpirit, hm [04:07] Mike94287: not if you put a sleep in it. ( ie "sleep 1m") [04:07] w30, is there a way to find out ? [04:07] airtonix: every second at most [04:07] Mike94287, ie : every 1min or 2min or 10min or 3hrs? [04:07] racecar56: I tried that - it gives an error message which I can't remember precisely at the moment. Something like, "This doesn't appear to have NTFS" [04:07] i didnt see in about firefox [04:07] Mike94287, ok [04:08] Emjay : Try, in the Firefox, to go to Tools>Add-ons>Plugins see if you find something about flash installed there. [04:08] TwoToneSpirit, maybe try ntfs-3g /dev/xdyz /mountpoint [04:08] im getting the error 'Module dm_mod not found' when running 'modprobe dm_mod' can someone tell me what package I need? [04:08] wellichen, yes of course flash is there [04:08] Shockwave Flash 10.0 r22 [04:08] is there a media player that can read music from my fileserver via SMB? Or should I mount the drive from my fileserver first? [04:08] racecar56: tried that too - same [04:09] Emjay, try http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer [04:09] TwoToneSpirit, maybe (dang) mount it with boring plain-old ntfs [04:09] TwoToneSpirit, sudo mount /dev/xdyz -t ntfs [04:09] Emjay : The decription of it is "Shockwave Flash 10.0 r22". [04:09] Emjay : The decription of it is "Shockwave Flash 10.0 r22"? [04:09] yes wellichen [04:10] racecar56: same [04:10] TwoToneSpirit, maybe it's corrupt D: [04:10] racecar56: This happened when I tried to install grub on it [04:10] hi guys - anyone good at proxies, vpns, hacking or wifi mesh & want to help keep intenet up in IRAN????? they need help [04:10] jack_, did you try sudo modprobe dm-mod? [04:10] eross: probably mounting it is easiest, it sticks with the unix philosophy that everything should do one thing well. [04:10] racecar56: Well, it seems all the files are there as I can see them in DOS [04:11] balingup: What kind of help is needed? [04:11] ctmjr: same error [04:11] airtonix: If it will slow down my computer, I think a better way to go about it would be to check the directory for a new file (which is all I'm using it for anyway) and to activate something based on whether or not a file exists in that directory. The problem is, I don't know how to make it check for a new file being added to the directory :P [04:11] lwindow 6 [04:11] Mike94287: what language are you using for this? shell script? [04:12] Emjay : Try remove it. Then install flashplugin-nonfree again from other source. Sorry no more ideas :(. [04:12] Hammerjak: yes [04:12] twotonespirit - the go there has killed internet !!! couple hundred ppl are feeding VPN, tor & proxies to em [04:12] TwoToneSpirit, idk whats going on then..... [04:12] TwoToneSpirit, chkdsk and reboot two times? [04:12] Mike94287: why can't you just do a "sleep 1;" for a one-second sleep within a while loop? [04:13] youtube videos lag... anything i can do to fix this??? i am using dell mini 9 with ubuntu netbook remix, 64gb runcore ssd and 2gb ram [04:13] Well that's what I was originally going to do but I was worried that it might slow down my computer to have it constantly doing that which is why I came here asking if it would slow down my computer a lot. [04:13] hi guys! is there anyone who could tell me the address of this "everything ubuntu in a livestream" page? [04:13] TwoToneSpirit: also i started feeding info on WIFI mesh to IRAN - think it may be usefull - repeat Internet in Iran is out, quote "ordinary ppl in Iran have no reliable info - gov is trying to break all communication routes - #Iranelection" [04:14] Mike94287: no, checking for a file doesn't take long and the 1 second sleep will prevent it from spiking your cpu [04:14] Mike94287: if you *don't* put the sleep in there your cpu will sit at 100% [04:14] Hammerjak: Okay thanks [04:14] gigi53, are you talking from PUC in Brazil? [04:15] youtube videos lag... is there anything i can do to fix this??? i am using dell mini 9 with ubuntu netbook remix, 64gb runcore ssd and 2gb ram [04:16] roxie : YO === yeehaw is now known as bucky [04:16] hi guys, having a bit of trouble sharing a drive on my network [04:16] wellichen: yo [04:16] Hello People.

[04:18] Mike94287, welcome [04:19] roxie : See if you get some description about the Flash 10.0 (Usually you will find "Shockwave Flash 10.0 r22) [04:19] k [04:19] roxie : KDE? [04:20] i have shockwave flash 9... how doi get 10... or do i need it [04:21] jack_, i could not find where to get it sounds like the module should be there already, is this for encryption? [04:21] roxie : You don't need it. But you must see if the flash plugin that you have is working properly. By you descriptio it don't seems to work very well. [04:21] yeah youtube is still lagging =[ [04:21] ok well flash works for now... [04:22] i just installed linux (ubuntu) for the first time today, anyone have recommended apps to add on? [04:22] the sound is fine... just the video is choppy [04:22] damisa81: of course [04:22] but i still wont be able to test if it kills the sound untill i figure out how to get pulseaudio back [04:22] roxie : I once installed one plugin that I could only listen the sound but not see anyhing. [04:22] damisa81: go to Applications -> Add/Remove... and poke around in that for a while [04:23] damisa81: all you have to do is check a box to install apps :) [04:23] roxie : The usual plugin (That use to work properly at almost all cases) is the flashplugin-nonfree [04:23] racecar56: I pop'd a windows CD in, went to a repair console, and typed "fixboot" - now at least the windows CD can read it. Some progress... [04:23] Hammerjak damisa81 Synaptic Package Manger is better system > administaration > synaptic package manager [04:23] Can anyone recommmed an X mp3 player? [04:23] k [04:23] hammer: that's what i'm doing now, it's how i found xchat [04:23] sebsebseb: but Synaptic isn't nearly as easy to search around in [04:24] !mp3|prowler [04:24] prowler: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [04:24] !pulseaduio [04:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about pulseaduio [04:24] Hammerjak: add/remove is not that good in comparision [04:24] personal preference i guess :) [04:24] hey guys [04:24] so i have a wierd questions [04:24] anyone here using ubuntu 8.10 on a lappy? [04:24] Hammerjak: anyway I will use commands when I know what I want to install :) [04:24] lol [04:24] Hammerjak: so much quicker and easier and better really [04:25] true [04:25] Does anyone know how to start Pulseaudio once its been killed ? [04:25] well thanx with the help. ill just try again next time [04:25] how do i get my chroot system to have its own x screen on one of my consoles [04:25] i am trying to manually set CPU fan speed on a gateway lappy with ubuntu, any thoughts? [04:26] prowler, sorry that was no help [04:26] hello all [04:26] anyone here using gtkpod [04:26] any thoughts? === dmb_ is now known as dmb [04:27] Frategi : Which is your lappy? [04:27] gateway m1625 [04:27] amd tl60 2.0 ghz [04:27] new to ubuntu but learning fast :) [04:27] i want to set fan speed to run at max all the time if possible [04:28] Frategi : It allows you this control? You sure that it's not controled by the BIOS? [04:28] it maybe controlled by the bios, but EVERYTHING is locked on this thing [04:28] i cant adjust ANYTHING acpi related [04:29] hi.can anyone help me with savage 2 and opengl 2.1 error? is this wrong channel? [04:29] can someone here help me with gtkpod [04:29] i have version 0.99.12 [04:29] do i need to format my ipod [04:29] however i have been doing some reading pertaining to some scripts reference "fancontrol &" [04:29] why wireless connection always slow down after some idle time? [04:30] how do i make a floppy disk bootable on cd-rom? [04:30] ? [04:30] Frategi : I suggest you to look at the site of who produces it. [04:31] already have. thanks :) [04:31] Frategi : Sometimes this things are controled by drivers. [04:31] i have a chroot system of a ubuntu live cd and when i exit vim it says "E138: Can't write viminfo file /home/racecar56/.viminfo!" how do i make it stop looking for that because there isn't supposed to be anything about racecar56 [04:33] Can anyone say if I decide to try to use "dd" command, does it only backup used portions of the disk or does it also copy un-needed empty space? Also can the output be piped to gzip or such compression? Will that work as a solution to backup an ext4 Ubuntu install? [04:34] Frategi : Well I need to sleep know (12:33 here in Brazil). See if you find some Stuff in Ubuntu Forums. Good Luck! [04:34] linuxguy2009: dd is a byte for byte copy, it copies even unused bits [04:35] ok [04:35] Ill just stick with ext3 then till, part image supports ext4. [04:35] why wireless connection always slow down after some idle time? [04:35] linuxguy2009: I would suggest tar as a backup your ubuntu install [04:35] does anyone know how to get the Shell - Queue script to work with Transmission torrent client here http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/Scripts it's this one http://pastie.org/357236 [04:36] sorry for bumping but I'm kind of sitting in front of an e-mail and i'd like to include this bit. does anybody know the ubuntu page that aggregates stuff like blog posts or forum posts into a huge "this is going on in the ubuntu world" live stream? [04:36] linuxguy2009, it does copy uneeded empty space however if you 0 out the empty space then a compression of the image will be very small. [04:37] So besides part image not supporting ext4 and dd backing up un-needed data, is there a decent way to backup an ext4 partition? [04:37] Yeah but zeroing out probably would take quite a while on a big drive I would imagine. [04:38] why wireless connection always slow down after some idle time? im on jaunty and with a CCE notebook! [04:38] mermshaus: are you referring to planet.ubuntu.com ? [04:38] racecar56: So going into a recovery console (via the windows CD) and using fixboot worked - everything is back to normal and I can now dual-boot [04:38] TwoToneSpirit, woot [04:39] How do i change directory to a folder? [04:39] Dday: cd = change directory [04:39] Dday: so cd /path/to/folder [04:39] musikgoat|main: thx! nope, it included forum posts from the ubuntu forums too. it was some kind of web page like that idea torrent thingy. :) [04:39] Has anyone else have had any issues of the window manager stop responding to mouse input while running Firefox? [04:39] mermshaus: brainstorm? [04:40] mermshaus: thats all i've got :-) [04:40] musikgoat|main: jep. that's the idea torrent thingy. [04:40] and my right click seems to have broken severely [04:41] musikgoat|main: that's cool because i lost that one too. :) [04:41] Does anyone know of a bash command that will overwrite my clipboard with a variable that I set? [04:41] How does UBuntu work on SSD's? [04:41] linuxguy2009, go here: http://www.linuxweblog.com/blogs/sandip/20050211/image-your-hard-drive-using-dd [04:42] linuxguy2009: wouldn't take too long to fill the empty space with zeros. however, you could instead use rsync to copy the file system contents onto another system. [04:43] Dday: Solid State Disks behave like normal disks. very very small differences, ubuntu should just treat it like any other disk === bc_ is now known as bc [04:43] There is a big performance increase with SSD's on windows, is it the same in ubuntu? [04:43] Thanks balingup for alerting us about the situation in Iran. If anybody wants to keep up on the situation or help the people of Iran get access to the internet, which has been cut off, please come to #irantech. [04:43] hello, what is the package name to resize if i got windows XP , i want to install ubuntu but i need to rezie since i want to make /home in one partition! thx [04:44] well I think writing zeros to 80+GB of drive space would be just as slow as creating an 80GB file Im guessing. [04:44] helper: You want to resize NTFS partition? [04:44] TwoToneSpirit yes [04:44] Dday: performance increase comes from the ability to read random speed faster than any mechenical device ever could. that's why it's faster. not because of drivers or anything. [04:44] helper: *VERY* risky. I did it once with a utility on the Ultimate Boot CD, but I can't say I advise it. [04:45] TwoToneSpirit then what should i do ? i got xp want to install ubuntu [04:45] hmm [04:45] TwoToneSpirit i want to make /home parition alone [04:46] helper: can you afford to wipe your drive an install ubuntu first? - yeah the /home idea is good [04:46] 1337 users! awesome! [04:46] TwoToneSpirit nah :( [04:46] helper: Many people come through that door and tell stories of NTFS horrors - I was one of them only (looks at watch) last hour. [04:46] sry, I'm easily excited [04:47] does anyone know a command to make pulseaudio start again ? [04:47] TwoToneSpirit what should i do then ? [04:47] I have been hearing rumors about ssd drives and flash drives failure rates being high. I have been trying to find out more. [04:47] helper: Ultimate Boot CD I'd say. [04:47] sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart [04:47] gparted live [04:47] helper, in windows defrag the disk then install ubuntu give it as much room as you want [04:48] sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart [04:48] * PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions [04:48] TwoToneSpirit: gparted live [04:48] !wubi | helper [04:48] helper: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [04:48] What is the ubuntu pastebin? [04:48] !paste | Dday [04:48] Dday: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [04:48] Dday: use /topic [04:48] musikgoat|main , can i choose a partition for /home ? [04:49] helper, yes, i believe so [04:50] musikgoat|main t.c. [04:50] hello how to hide my user account so that they cant open my /home/rhea folder? thanks [04:51] RheaChiQ i think permissions [04:51] Hi [04:51] RheaChiQ: Are you trying to hide the home folder from it's own user? [04:51] Drknezz: claims you're fussing in here ^^ [04:52] RheaChiQ: from other users? [04:52] xD [04:52] y< [04:52] jdu : yes from other users.i dont want to see my /home/rhea [04:52] RheaChiQ: you cannot 'hide' folders [04:52] After installing ubuntu, I installed kubuntu-desktop through aptitude. When I remove it, though, also through aptitude, it doesn't remove the other packages. I though aptitude was supposed to handle that? What can I do? [04:52] does anyone know how to get the Shell - Queue script to work with Transmission torrent client here http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/Scripts it's this one http://pastie.org/357236 [04:52] RheaChiQ: you can however, make them entirely unreadable to other users [04:52] RheaChiQ: Is it enough that those users can't write in those folders? (the default settings). [04:52] if i just want to send mail off of ubuntu what would be the best mail service / server to use? [04:53] edbian : hide or other user cannot open my /home/rhea [04:53] RheaChiQ: chmod 700 /home/rhea [04:53] edbian : they cant open my /home/folder nor edit file or etc [04:53] jdu : this is different from o+wx /home/rhea thing? i forgot the command [04:53] ok i have a problem [04:53] you could change the rights to it so no one but root could look inside it, but you couldn't hide it [04:54] Im just now seeing that 9.04 has a guest session.Is that like a sandbox environment? [04:54] what kernel type is in 9.04? [04:54] RheaChiQ: If you right click on your own home folder and hit properties and look at permissions you can set it so that "others" meaning (everyone not the owner and not in the group) has no access "none" [04:54] RheaChiQ: there is more than one way to change permissions. One can use octal numbers such as 700 or letters such as what you gave. [04:54] RheaChiQ: Or via GUI which I explained. [04:54] this is a ubuntu 64bit, i've installed all the required codecs etc for dvd playback, but it scrambles the dvd as if it doesnt have the required codecs installed [04:55] jdu : so chmod 700 /home/rhea will solve the problem right? users cannot open it even if i add them to the su? [04:55] I'm a little worried about this: The partition tables of the following devices are changed: [04:55] SCSI5 (0,0,0) (sdc) [04:55] RheaChiQ: anyone with root access can do what ever they please. [04:55] I'm trying to partion my ATA drive, not scsi [04:56] RheaChiQ: well, super user can do anything, there's no way to stop that. [04:56] RheaChiQ: Wrong. If they can su then they are the root user and the root user can do anything. (including change your or any home folder) [04:56] YeTr2 : if they know the password of the root right? [04:56] RheaChiQ: root access more or less ignores everything and does what ever it wants. [04:56] edbian : ok [04:56] RheaChiQ: however, you could choose sudo to give more limited access rights [04:56] Does anyone know of a bash command that will overwrite my clipboard with a variable that I set? [04:56] RheaChiQ: sudo can be configured to allow a user only to use specific commands etc. [04:57] i am having dvd playback issues, i have insalled libdvdreader libdvdcss etc etc, but it still does not decrypt the dvd [04:57] jimmyjh: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/playing-encrypted-dvds-in-ubuntu.html [04:57] Look at the AMD64 bit. [04:57] Do you have that libdvdcss2 package? [04:58] oops i made a mistake and i think i locked a gconf key that wasn't locked before, can anyone help me solve "Could not change key value. Error message: [04:58] Can't overwrite existing read-only value: Can't overwrite existing read-only value: Value for `/apps/gnome-power-manager/general/can_suspend' set in a read-only source at the front of your configuration path" [04:58] edbian YeTr2 jdu this will help then? > jdu: RheaChiQ: chmod 700 /home/rhea [04:58] Mike94287: see the xsel and xclip commands [04:58] hello. touchpad scrolling has suddenly stopped working on my dell inspiron 9300 laptop running intrepid. have looked at gsynaptics and xorg. all seems fine... can anyone help??? [04:58] RheaChiQ: yes, but you can always do it then login as a different user and try to access your files. [04:59] kenyon: I tried out xclip just before but it only lets me copy commands, I'll try out xsel [04:59] edbian YeTr2 jdu helper thanks [04:59] RheaChiQ: That will make it so that the owner can do anything to the files but nobody else can do anything. Root can still do whatever he wants though. IF your users can sudo then there is pretty much no point in setting up any sort of permissions at all to control them. Do you understand? Root can do anything regardless of persmissions [04:59] edbian : understand [04:59] RheaChiQ: I would suggest more along the lines of `chmod -R go-rwx /home/rhea` , and then change your umask. If you really want to be paranoid, you could just start encrypting yourself as well. [05:00] RheaChiQ: Ok good :) [05:00] YeTr2 how to change to "umask" ? [05:00] RheaChiQ: sec, let me find the profile. [05:01] YeTr2 thanks :) [05:02] what's a good IRC server on ubuntu? [05:02] RheaChiQ: you can do this in one of two places, you can do it in your own profile, or you can do it in the system profile and it becomes valid for everyone. [05:02] ur on it [05:02] GreaterCore: Got a question? [05:03] GreaterCore: irc server daemons are more or less personal preference. [05:03] easiest irc server to set up [05:03] with nickserv and chanserv [05:03] GreaterCore: Did you mean that you want to run an IRC server on your computer? [05:03] edbian: yes [05:04] kenyon: I can't seem to get it to work with either xsel or xclip [05:04] anton [05:04] Mike94287: what are you trying to do? [05:04] GreaterCore, you might get better answers in #freenode channel [05:04] kenyon: I want to write something to my clipboard with a bash script [05:04] RheaChiQ: to effect everyone, you should edit the /etc/login.defs file as root. in that file, is a variable called UMASK. default on UMASK is (0)022 [05:05] RheaChiQ: uncomment it(delete the # in front) and change the 022 to 077 to have this setting effect all users. [05:05] Mike94287: those commands will do it. [05:06] RheaChiQ: your other option is to put this in your personal profile in your '${HOME}/.profile'. doing this will only have the change effect you. [05:06] kenyon: xclip works but only with commands, I want it to work for a variable I set in the bash script. [05:07] Mike94287: echo $var | xclip [05:07] RheaChiQ: any changes you make will not take effect until you log out of the system entirely. [05:07] ok i tried that but still not working [05:07] dvd is still not playing [05:08] kenyon: There we go, thanks [05:08] jimmyjh, what player/s are you using? [05:08] ctmjr vlc and movie player* [05:09] we are trying to fix it for me.. :p [05:09] ctmjr: tried movie player and vlc [05:09] I have a question. Do I absolutely need to burn a disc in order to install Ubuntu (not using Wubi)? I want to dualboot Windows 7 RC and the latest Ubuntu. [05:09] Belinrahs: you can also install via thumbdrive. [05:09] ahhh that solves my problem then [05:09] I think you can install via jump drive or ftp [05:10] Is there any specific way i need to put it on the thumb drive? [05:10] for it to boot* [05:10] Belinrahs: I think the live disk has a utility to create a bootable thumb drive [05:10] Belinrahs: google install ubuntu with unetbootin [05:10] is that the Windows autorun you mean? [05:10] alright [05:10] but that purpose is self defeating, isn't it? [05:10] belinrahs, you need to configure your BIOS to look @ the jump drive at boot [05:11] Belinrahs: there should be a "how to" on this. [05:11] I am running 64bit Ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop and am trying to get a script made to network to my wireless router from the command line not from the gui which works fine. I tried ps to find what the gui does to initiate the wireless but that don't work; Does anyone have a command to start the wireless network? [05:11] wow, that Unetbootin looks like an excellent utility [05:11] Thanks for the help, I'm going to use that :) [05:12] jimmyjh, you can try region set read this at the bottom of the page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [05:12] By the way does Compiz Fusion work with 64-bit Linux? Also Wine? [05:12] Belinrahs, yes as long as you have drivers [05:12] also [05:12] My Windows XP's HD UUID is 7fb92825-6c25-4821-9be9-f8bf3ae6b75c, how may I add it to GRUB? [05:12] !unetbootin | Belinrahs [05:12] Belinrahs: Both great [05:12] Belinrahs: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [05:12] Belinrahs: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-ubuntu-904-persistent-install-windows/ [05:13] cabrey: Thanks!! [05:13] i am new to ubuntu.. is there a way to run windows programs on ubuntu??? [05:13] hey does google talk work on wine [05:13] !wine | roxie [05:13] roxie: 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 [05:13] plz tell ,e [05:13] yes u can use wine [05:13] ok thanx [05:14] a better place to determine wine compatibility would be winehq's site. === jdo_ is now known as jdobrien [05:14] Belinrahs, you need to check out getlibs on the Ubuntu web site; it's a way to install the 32bit libs on a 64 bit system to satisfy 32 bit apps [05:15] w30: ok. do you have a link? just curious, i can probably find it but whatever is quicker [05:16] Belinrahs, sorry not handy [05:16] ok I'll find it :) thx [05:16] My Windows XP's HD UUID is 7fb92825-6c25-4821-9be9-f8bf3ae6b75c, how may I add it to GRUB? [05:16] any touchpad experts here? [05:16] jon5001: just ask your question. [05:16] wbc: you want to add it to your etc/fstab file I believe [05:17] wbc? correct? [05:17] gmachine: Are you sure I don't have to add it to /boot/grub/menu.lst? [05:17] how stable is ubuntu?? [05:18] wbc: normally you don't use the UUID for booting a WinXP instance. [05:18] Fretegi: Stable enough [05:18] ectospasm, touchpad scrolling suddenly stopped working. dell inspiron 9300 with intrepid. checked gsynaptic, xorg and the internet but do not see the problem referenced or a solution proposed. any ideas? [05:18] ectospasm: Then what do I have to add? [05:18] Fretegi: the LTS versions are probably at least slightly more stable than the non-LTS versions [05:18] compared to windows? [05:18] jon5001: you haven't accidentally disabled the scroll bar on the touchpad, have you? [05:18] Fretegi: Stable++ [05:19] I don't have Intrepid anymore, so I can't look for you. (and besides, my laptop has no charge and the power cable is at home) [05:19] wbc: no I think it must be in your menu.lst file also [05:19] ectospasm, accidentally disabled how? gsynaptics tick marks all in order and xorg file is unchanged since a known backup from when the scroll was functioning [05:19] jon5001: Are you use you just haven't pushed the "Disable touchpad" button somewhere around your keyboard [05:20] lol k, ive had it on lappy for about two weeks and really gettin to like it, if i could get a few program glitches fixes i may use it as in lieu of vista [05:20] I have an SCP problem: when I scp hosta:/file /file, all is okay. When I scp /file hostb:/file, all is okay.. When I scp hosta:/file hostb:/file, I suddenly get a hostkey verification failure.. Why is this? It does not make sense because if I only specify one host (either host a or host b) it works well. with SSH I can access those hosts also without problem. How could I fix this problem? [05:20] how do I paste something in the pastebin? [05:20] Ctrl+V [05:20] !paste [05:20] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [05:20] Or rightclick>paste [05:20] wbc, note: all touchpad functions work. except scrolling. [05:21] jon5001: like I said, I can't verify this right now, but on my 9.04 UNR netbook I could have sworn I saw an option for disabling the scroll bar on the touchpad in gnome-mouse-properties [05:21] jon5001: have you tried scrolling with two fingers? [05:21] Ubuntu enables that on some machines [05:21] wbc, how do you scroll w. two fingers? [05:22] night guys [05:22] jon5001: Use two fingers and have a small space between them while moving them downwards [05:23] wbc, doesnt seem to be responding to that... unless i am doing it wrong. unfamiliar with that technique but followed your instructuon [05:23] wbc, thats cool, thanks for being on Ubuntu and helping out *smile* [05:23] jon5001: It does only work on certain computers though [05:24] jon5001: you can enable horizontal and vertical scrolling under mouse/touchpad...I assume if you remove the checks from these boxes you have disabled scrolling [05:24] wbc, nah. i dont think so. scrolling worked until recently [05:24] wbc, works on a inspiron E1505 [05:24] gmachine, all tick marks are in right place [05:24] w30: :) [05:25] jon5001: I'm sorry jon... do you want it to work or not work? [05:26] wbc: did you get an answer to your question about the grub file? [05:26] gmachine: Nope, [05:26] gmachine, I want it to work. it used to work. now it suddenly doesnt. gsynaptics touch pad and mouse settings in gnome are set to enable, and xorg is unchanged from a backup when it worked fine [05:27] jon5001: ok, sorry to be dense. [05:27] gmachine, and yet it suddenly stopped [05:27] jon5001: you may need to toggle them off and toggle them back on [05:27] gmachine, no worries. [05:27] ...or upgrade to Jaunty [05:27] gmachine: Thing is that I do not know what I should add to the menu.lst [05:27] ectospasm, I have tried that. but would i have to reboot in between? that I havent done [05:28] wbc: well, in my grub list my hard drive is mentioned and I don't have Windows installed on the same computer. [05:28] jon5001: a reboot may be an expedient fix. I had a problem where I disabled mouse clicks on the touch pad, to disable an annoyance [05:28] ectospasm, problem with jaunty for me is no proprietary driver for ati radeon video card and the open source version doesnt make full enough use of it... but thats a whole nother story [05:28] jon5001: and rebooting fixed the problem that caused. [05:29] bah, ATI [05:29] ectospasm, note, i have rebooted several times. this has been ongoing for a week. but i havent rebooted in between unchecking the boxes. ie, uncheck, reboot, check, reboot [05:30] is it just me or is jaunty missing most of the sounds ubuntu used to have (trash emptying, etc) [05:30] ectospasm, yeah. the whole ati situation's a bummer [05:30] jon5001: are you dual booting? If so, does the touchpad scroll bar work as advertised in the other OS? [05:31] ectospasm, nope. intrepid is the only os on this machine [05:31] hi. is there a way to make the SUPER (windows key) open the desktop menus ? [05:31] hmmm... so we can't test if the scroll bar on the touchpad has simply failed. [05:31] gmachine: could you paste your menu.lst to the pastebin? [05:34] ectospasm, wbc, i will be right back. i unchecked and am rebooting. [05:35] hey guys how's it going [05:36] i have a serious problem [05:36] Will wine run internet explorer 8? [05:36] jaime1, go ahead [05:36] IE8 is horrible [05:36] YeTr2 : ok i think i got it. what website you got it? [05:36] jaime1: don't preface your question, just ask [05:36] anyone here tried installing ubuntu on xen server 5.5.0? [05:36] spill jaime1 [05:36] gmachine, need it for a microsoft competition [05:37] Dday: good luck with that [05:37] Dday, what do you need for a microsoft competition [05:37] http://www.microsoft.com/australia/ie8/competition/ [05:37] oh [05:37] Dday: IE8 is new enough where I'd doubt wine could run it well. [05:37] i went away for vacations leaving my cuz in charge. being new to ubuntu he messed around and did some thing he shoudn't have. now my computer says i have no available memory, which i do. also i cant save documents and i can't open some apps and i can't upgrade to 9.04 because of an "authentication failure" i have no idea what happened to it [05:38] probably all sorts of libs involved that the wine folks haven't implemented. [05:38] Dday: I'll give you $15,000 not to use IE8 [05:38] jaime1: did you give him access to your user account? [05:39] yeah i didn't think he'd mess with it [05:39] oh wow so MS has to bribe users now? [05:39] jaime1: shame shame [05:39] ectospasm: i know [05:39] Dday: 1) you can use User Agent Switcher (thats all they check for and 2) You must live in Australia [05:39] Dday: Actually using IE8 isn't necessaryt [05:39] my "gnome-screensaver lock" quit working recently. any ideas? it is running [05:39] jaime1: do you have a pre-vacation back up of your system [05:39] gmachine, is it in Zimbabwean dollars? [05:39] h00k, how i use user agent switcher? [05:39] Dday: Close, U.S. dollar$ [05:40] hi all [05:40] ectospasm: and for example like i can open opera, but when i click on the file, edit , view , or any other buttons on the top, it just shows blanks [05:40] gmachine, i take you up on your offer :D [05:40] ectospasm: unfortunately i didn't. [05:40] anyone know much about the pipe command? ie | [05:40] Dday: google is your friend: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59 [05:40] jaime1: sounds like he trashed your system. [05:40] jaime1: is /home on a different partition from /? [05:40] May someone please paste their /boot/grub/menu.lst on the pastebin for me? [05:40] ectospasm: that's what i was thinking that maybe he messed with the partitions [05:40] With Windows in it [05:41] jaime1: you'd be in deeper trouble if that were the case. [05:41] Is there a way to run ICE WEASEL in Ubuntu ? i cant find it in apt or anywhere else [05:41] skrite, use firefox === joschi__ is now known as Joschi [05:41] skrite: and why would you want to do that when Ubunt CAN use Firefox? [05:42] is there a way to take the output of a commandline program and use it as a argument for another program? [05:42] ectospasm: yeah i have the linux wich is filesystem ext3 as /dev/sda2. i have like 52 GB unallocated, then the linux-swap as /dev/sda [05:42] munk: use the pipe '|' [05:42] munk: cmd1 | cmd2 | cmd3 | ... [05:42] munk: or program $(other program) [05:42] got to go [05:42] h00k, User agent switcher is only for windows 7 [05:43] does it pass what ever is in the stdout as an argument? [05:43] *IE 7 sorry [05:43] munk: you can use $() or `` to capture output for use bu another command [05:43] jaime1: you're screwed then, since you don't have a separate /home partition. I'd suggest a format and reinstall. [05:43] what is the command for the default ubuntu document reader? [05:43] munk: | captures one program's stdout and directs it into the other's stdin [05:43] jaime1: you can try to move your important files to another system/external HD, but good luck [05:43] toortoor: evince? [05:43] toortoor, evince [05:43] We are sorry, but your Operating System is not supported by the ninemsn Optimised version of Internet Explorer 8. [05:43] Australia (English) - click to change [05:43] ectospasm: yep that's what it looks like. oh well thanks man. i'll probably just save everything to an external, then just reinstall [05:44] what if I need the output to be passed as an argument when the second program is loaded [05:44] lstarnes, cabrey: ok thanks [05:44] jaime1: and kick your cousin in the rear [05:44] jaime1: next time, don't give ANYONE access to your user, just create an unprivileged user first. [05:44] * w30 hehheh [05:44] !release [05:44] Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases [05:44] ectospasm: yeah, well i told him he has to buy me a new computer:) but meanwhile i'll fix this one [05:44] whois johnzw [05:45] stdin isnt the arguments is it? [05:45] munk: stdin is like typed input [05:45] ectospasm: one more question. when i reinstall, how do i make the /home partition. i had my friend install it for me. i mean i'm knowledgeable in linux, but not in that part of the installation process [05:45] hrm [05:46] !home | jaime1 [05:46] jaime1: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [05:46] jaime1: just create separate / and /home partitions. You should have the option for choosing the mount point of a given partition [05:46] sleep. peace. [05:46] so if I am writing a program called "gettimeindex" that generates arguments for the program "transcoder" is there a way to pass the arguments? [05:47] munk: transcoder $(gettimeindex) [05:47] skrite: Ubuntu repositories provide you with Firefox. If you have reasons to stick to Iceweasel try to find Debian repositories providing Iceweasel packages. I doubt that it makes sense to install them in your Ubuntu operating system. You better switch over to Debian entirely then. [05:47] munk: what do you mean "arguments" === ubuntu is now known as thePuppeteer [05:47] jaime1: read through a guide that tells you have to set up the difference partitions / /var /tmp /home etc [05:47] *how [05:47] munk: normally you just pass the stdout of the first program to the stdin of the second. [05:47] munk, maybe. transcoder "$@" [05:47] like when you load transcoder it has arguments like "transcoder -a -more arguments -blah" [05:47] munk: you'd have to specify those extra arguments when you invoke the commands. [05:48] munk, "$@" contains the arguments passed to this script .. you just pass them on using it [05:49] like: tar -xvf - file1 file2... | bzip2 -c tarball.tar.bz2 [05:49] ectospasm: yeah thanks man i'm looking at a page which should help. i just gotta go get my external HD from my gf so i could save the important stuff. oh well, that's what i get for trusting a windows user:) thanks for all the help and see you guys later. [05:49] can anybody suggest me a good window manager which supports themes? [05:49] The_warlock: GNOME ? [05:49] I am on the liveCD and am formatting the HDD, sda1 i managed to delete, but with sda2/sda5, gparted will not give me the option to touch, is there a way around this? [05:49] The_warlock: maybe compiz [05:49] gnome isn't a window manager [05:50] ectospasm: other than gnome and kde i.e :D [05:50] The_warlock, fluxbox [05:50] The_warlock: only other one I'm familiar with is fluxbox [05:50] unop: where can I find out more about $@? [05:50] ectospasm: wait one more quick q. can't i just create a new /home partition? [05:50] ...although all the *Steps should work, too [05:51] jaime1: if you've got free space (which you said you did earlier), yeah [05:51] munk, you are writing a shell script i assume? bash? [05:51] ectospasm, performed the following: uncheck, reboot, check, reboot... no joy [05:51] hello [05:51] I have a problem [05:51] no I am writing a c++ program that analyzes a sound file and then passes a certain time index to transoder [05:52] my screen resolution sinece some days now is very below what it used to be [05:52] when i run the command line in ubuntu, can i up the resolution so more fits in the screen? [05:52] I would like to avoid calling transcoder from within my program [05:52] I was messing with usplash and now I cant log onto my ubuntu partition [05:52] and it doesn't detect monitor [05:52] On jaunty [05:52] munk, ahh, then $@ doesn't apply .. you'd have to work with argc/argv combination [05:52] yea [05:52] sagaci: you mean in the virtual terminals (ALT-F1..6)? [05:53] munk, /j #c++ [05:53] ectospasm: yes [05:53] is there no way to pass the output of a program to the arguments of a another? [05:53] sagaci: only way I know of doing that is by running a framebuffer [05:53] my screen resolution sinece some days now is very below what it used to be and it doesn't detect monitor [05:53] ectospasm:yeah i have like 50GB of free space. should i create it as a primary or extended partition? also should it be ext 2? [05:53] perhaps a bash script to tie it togehter? [05:53] munk, that will work [05:54] sagaci: investigate the "vga=" kernel boot parameter for the framebuffer [05:54] jaime1: it's really immaterial whether you choose it to be primary or logical (it can't be extended) [05:54] ectospasm: ah ok, won't mess with it then [05:54] where would I look for such information? [05:54] ectospasm: oh alright. will 2 GB be enough or how much should it be? [05:54] munk, /j #bash [05:55] my screen resolution sinece some days now is very below what it used to be and it doesn't detect monitor [05:55] thanks [05:55] jaime1: usually I make the /home partition the largest on the system [05:55] so probably use like all of the memory. like 50GB? [05:55] jaime1: 2GB would fill up FAST [05:55] jaime1: that's what I'd do, but ymmv [05:56] hey guys, i was curious.. what would be the best file system for "media storage" partition?.. i'm on ext3 right now, i have some unformatted space on my harddrive, looking for some suggestions.. [05:56] ectospasm: ok thanks man. yeah i got the page that tell me what commands to enter so hopefully i fix this [05:56] nellmathew: ext3 is a safe choice [05:57] nellmathew: JFS may give better performance for lots of large (> 2GB) files. [05:57] ReiserFS may also be a good choice. [05:57] ectospasm, so if i were to reinstall ubuntu on my current partition, how would i go about using ext3 without affecting the "media" partition? (make it primary and root?..) [05:57] I am on the liveCD and am formatting the HDD, sda1 i managed to delete, but with sda2/sda5, gparted will not give me the option to touch, is there a way around this? [05:58] does that make sense?.. lol [05:58] #ubuntu [05:58] Hello guys and gals [05:58] nellmathew: no, you'd have your media partition on a separate (primary or logical, doesn't matter) partition, and set its mount point to whatever (prolly not /media, maybe /mnt/media or something. [05:58] Hello [05:59] I have really a serious problem and I can't fix it [05:59] Has anyone here used Yabause (sega saturn emulator) [05:59] nellmathew: then, don't touch that partition when you're reinstalling. [05:59] Can some one help me [05:59] Jaunty_Guy: don't preface your question, or ask to ask, just ask your question already [06:00] ectospasm: thanks for your help! [06:00] Has anyone here used Yabause (sega saturn emulator) before ? [06:00] OK I just migrated from Windows and I have one problem [06:00] chewed-on: not I [06:00] The PC freezes at randon times [06:00] Jaunty_Guy: does it ever exhibit that behavior in Windows? [06:01] couldn't figure why? [06:01] No not at all [06:01] Jaunty_Guy: you could be having a number of problems. [06:01] silly quick question, when amarok changes to the next song, it displays a huge message - any way to resize it? [06:01] Jaunty_Guy: it could be that Ubuntu is stressing your system in ways Windows does not, and you've got a hardware problem that Ubuntu has uncovered. This is pure conjecture. [06:01] Jaunty_Guy: what were you doing right before it freeze ? [06:02] Jaunty_Guy: you may want to run a benchmarking or stress testing tool to see if your system can handle it. I suggest mprime. [06:02] Howdy, all. Has anyone else ever had issues getting Skype audio to work in Jaunty? I'm on an Inspiron 1100 laptop. [06:03] : nothing in particular some time freezes while I am surfing and other times while I am watching movies [06:03] Jaunty_Guy: I had a problem with an old computer randomly hard locking (in Windows and in Linux), and mprime led me to believe the problem was with the memory controller on the motherboard. [06:03] Jaunty_Guy: does it freeze when you view Flash movies in your browser? [06:03] Jaunty_Guy: I assume you're using Jaunty? [06:04] Not all the times I am watching youtube now :) [06:04] how can i make it so when I'm playing video on one workspace and zoom out with somehting like expose, i can see the video still playing instead of a black screen? [06:04] Yes I am [06:04] so.... for the 4th day... :D can somebody help me with skype plugin for pidgin? [06:04] Jaunty_Guy: what flavor (i386 or x86_64)? [06:04] StormWinged: I think you want #pidgin [06:04] StormWinged: not I [06:05] okay... i`ll try it [06:05] X86_64 [06:06] I've got three machines with Jaunty 64bit, and I haven't experienced the problems you have been, Jaunty_Guy [06:06] how do I lookup a url?

Then go back to the previous menu, and type 'b' to boot [06:14] Anyone? Skype audio on Inspiron laptop? [06:14] ectospasm: k thanks im gonna try that [06:14] jascase901: if it works, then you need to back out that change, or remove the installed splash screens [06:15] ectospasm, jascase901: no need to go back to the previous menu. just hit enter when you're done editing and b [06:15] indus, ohk, but what can you say about the display not being that clear [06:15] Ok well imabout to restart my compy [06:15] to try this [06:15] raylu: doesn't hitting enter take you back to the previous menu?

[06:20] firefox spikes resources to 100% [06:20] crapshoot: yep, it does that from time to time. [06:20] at best it runs at 50% of resources [06:21] the problem is that it happens all the time [06:21] ectospasm: OK Thanks ..... I'll get back with the results [06:21] crapshoot: I've seen it stay at <20% resources, but still thrash the hard drive like crazy [06:21] Acedip: thats why they call hardy LTS release, and i believe until 10.04 it wont be supporting x200 [06:21] ectospasm: exactly , hard disk keeps reading for say 5 sec [06:22] indus, but I upgraded because needed gtk2.16 and it was not available in hardy [06:22] isn't FF the recommended browser? [06:22] ectospasm: i read somewhere they released a fix but it doesnt work [06:22] indus: in my case, it's like 5 (or 50) minutes. [06:22] indus: there's always Opera [06:22] i have tried hardy and ibex but no help [06:23] ectospasm: i mean my firefox hangs in this moment as if searching for something, i heard its the sqllite database search it does [06:23] crapshoot: I only get it occasionally in Jaunty [06:23] Err, I'm havning a problem with Ubuntu 9.04 [06:23] ectospasm: i reduced cache size which seems to work [06:23] Pwnt: what error [06:23] mine either locks up or crashes and i have to restart [06:23] Can Ekiga Softphone be used to call regular telephones?

My 4GB system at home doesn't seem to have the problem. [06:24] ectospasm: only 1gb? heh thats a good amount [06:24] (I haven't been using my other 1GB machine at home long enough to notice) [06:24] ectospasm: mine is 1 gb [06:24] jaunty kept crashing my machine so i switched to "a stable" version [06:24] indus: heh, you'd think [06:24] ectospasm: ya why need 4gb? [06:24] ectospasm: its been 2 years [06:24] indus: 'cuz I hate waiting for swap.

[06:34] does anyone know how to get the Shell - Queue script to work with Transmission torrent client here http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/Scripts it's this one http://pastie.org/357236 [06:34] that [06:35] brennus: its 32 bit [06:35] indus: thank you [06:35] brennus: 64 bit will say x86_64 [06:36] brennus how do i make it work [06:36] how do i keep FF from crashing/locking up? [06:36] crapshoot: when does it craash [06:37] i can't come up with a reliable trigger [06:37] sometimes there is weird network traffic [06:38] other times i am simply looking at the forums or text pages [06:38] video pages are a toss up [06:39] no issue with RAM or swap............3Gb [06:40] i really want to be a "convert", but without finding a solution i can only turn to windoze [06:40] crapshoot: maybe its flash [06:41] how do i check/fix it? [06:41] flash is pretty prevalent [06:41] crapshoot: which version of ubuntu u using? have you updated your system? [06:41] i have tried hardy, ibex, and jaunty [06:42] i know jaunty is buggy so that i discount [06:42] how oyu do a screenshot in ubuntu? [06:42] the OS shouldn't affect the browser should it? [06:42] Dday: hit PrintScreen [06:42] crapshoot: it can [06:42] crapshoot: it does [06:43] oh! [06:43] crapshoot: I mean, the browser has to run in the framework of the OS [06:43] how do i check it [06:43] crapshoot: there is nothing to check, u can try opera if you not happy with FF [06:44] indus: or any of the console-based browsers. [06:44] if FF is a stock browser, wouldn't it have been checked? [06:44] There are many browsers that work in Linux, [06:44] Choice is what it is really about. [06:44] crapshoot: Frankly firefox has started sucking, it works much nicer on windows [06:45] crapshoot: i just hate it now [06:45] indus: I dunno, it's gotten better [06:45] though I'm still yearning and aching for Chrome4Linux [06:45] FF has always been touted as being the linux browser [06:45] ectospasm: same here man [06:45] ectospasm: no man,the freezes have increased,getting worse with flash etc [06:45] It is like Mutt e-mail, it states, all e-mail clients suck, mutt sucks less. [06:45] indus: heh, my experience has been precisely the opposite. [06:45] hey how is epiphany as a browser? [06:46] no one has looked at or fixed this? [06:46] indus: ye i cant play texas holdem poker cus its flash so i have to boot to windows.. [06:46] ectospasm: thats called luck :) [06:46] does anyone know how to get a script working for Transmission??? i want this one http://pastie.org/357236 [06:46] glicks: epiphany should work [06:46] indus: so, I've got good luck? [06:46] I love Epiphany [06:46] indus: on facebook.. :(( [06:46] ectospasm: its a known fact, firefox is great on windows [06:46] IceCat [06:46] it seems to work for most people [06:46] Hi is there any way to recover an encryption seed if your .ecryptfs dir went awol? [06:46] ectospasm, i mean how is it is it good [06:46] indus: documentation? [06:46] crappy [06:46] (yes I did something stupid) [06:46] etc [06:46] i think opera is just great but i dont use it cos it looks ugly on gtk [06:46] crapshoot: While FF is the standard ship with linux browser, I much prefer Opera, but when in Fedora, I find I need FF to deal with flash and java. What ubuntu are you running that is giving you problems? (Sounds like you are in windoze atm) [06:46] glicks: I have no idea, I don't use epiphany [06:46] can i watch youtube, is it as resource hungry as ff [06:47] Opera sucks because it uses Qt [06:47] glicks: I haven't a clue [06:47] right now i am in ubuntu ibex [06:47] ectospasm: hmm no,qt is a very nice tool kit, it sucks because ubuntu is gtk [06:47] indus: you prove my point. [06:47] Iceweasel or IceCat are clones of Mozilla [06:48] ectospasm: its not the tool kit that sucks is the point, but i heard firefox is also qt? [06:48] so no mozilla for ubuntu? [06:48] indus: firefox uses gtk, iirc [06:48] FF is gtk [06:48] anyone have any experience with other browsers on ubuntu [06:48] indus: AFAIK Firefox is GTK+ based (at least in Ubuntu) [06:48] crapshoot: yeah vigo is right, try the many other browsers, iceweasel,swiftfox etc [06:48] glicks: I've used Konqueror a little bit. [06:49] myself: ktorrent [06:49] crapshoot: I use Mozilla stuff in alot of Linux distros. [06:49] ectospasm: lstarnes:ya i guess u are correct, idont know where i read that [06:49] firefox is the best open source project but it sucks in linux [06:49] is there any way to know what will work without trying out a bunch of browsers to see what works?! [06:49] crapshoot: um, no? [06:49] indus: i wouldnt say it sucks, its fairly developed.. just some bugs [06:49] anyways, they have issues handling sqllite databases [06:49] crapshoot: it's a matter of taste. [06:50] hey guys i just created a new /home partition and i had a question. i've followed the wiki rules on how to mount but i've had problems. can anyone help me through the steps? [06:50] ok nvm [06:50] how about stability? [06:50] jaime1: the installer should have set it to automatically mount [06:50] ...on boot [06:50] It is as stable as the last backup you made. [06:50] jaime1: how did you create the partition? [06:51] ectospasm: well no i actually just made the new partition through Gparted [06:51] my guess is gparted in the installer [06:51] jaime1: did you set the mount point for it? Or are you doing this outside the installer? [06:51] so there is no stock stable browser to use? [06:51] jaime1: do you have ubuntu already installed? [06:51] crapshoot: you should have a problem with firefox.. [06:52] why kevin_? [06:52] crapshoot: stick with firefox ,i just installed ff 3.5 beta it seems nicer [06:52] shoudnt** [06:52] its in synaptic [06:52] its called shiretoko browser for now [06:52] ectospasm: yes i have it installed, and no that's what i'm having problems with mounting it. i'm currently on the live cd because i already changed to the new home, but for some reason it wont read it so i had to do it through the live CD [06:52] mcrandello: I am still looking for the Ubuntu propsed fix for that. (if one exists) [06:53] !firefox [06:53] firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins [06:53] jaime1: can you paste output of sudo fdisk -l [06:53] ectospasm: i followed the steps on this guide http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome and i manged to change to the new home, but now it won't read it. it tries to read the old /home location. [06:54] indus: I saw that 3.5 or something is shipping on Fedora now. [06:54] indus: outpust of sudo fdisk? sorry i'm kinda new at the partitioning [06:54] indus: where would i find that?

The procedure you are following is a bit advanced [06:57] indus: http://paste.ubuntu.com/198230/ [06:58] mhiku: do you have to use apt-get?? have u searched mysql in synaptic [06:58] it seems like things are breaking down [06:58] mhiku: try apt-cache [06:58] ahh so its possible [06:58] indus: yeah i mean i pretty much got it down. but some of the commands that i was supposed to enter weren't really working. i mean i pretty much did it but it's not reading /home its reading the old /home not the new one [06:59] because i search aptitude search mysql and the latest there is 5.1 only [06:59] indus: do you have ff 3.5?? hows it?? [06:59] jaime1: i need to see your fstab file [06:59] kevin__: just search in synaptic and you will see ff 3.5 [06:59] indus: http://paste.ubuntu.com/198230/ that is the link [07:00] jaime1: yes i got it [07:00] indus: if that's not working then try this http://paste.ubuntu.com/198230/plain/ [07:00] indus: so i dont need to download the .deb.. dang already started lol.. [07:00] vigo: thanks for looking btw [07:00] kevin__: no [07:00] indus: ima do it the easy way lol.. x [07:00] D [07:01] indus: currently i'm on the live CD [07:01] jaime1: have you unmounted the old home partition? [07:01] mcrandello: Did you locate a fix? [07:01] indus: yeah that's where i had the problem [07:01] jaime1: i mean i hope you followed all the steps, [07:01] not yet [07:02] indus: yeah i would enter the exact command and all it would say is that it couldn't find that file. well not the exact command but you know what i mean [07:02] Hi [07:02] vigo: afaict you need both the passphrase and a key (which I deleted) to open the files [07:02] What does it mean when there's a picture of a lock on a file? [07:02] It's a .bin [07:02] mcrandello: Lost DSA? or SHA? [07:02] jaime1: find . -depth -print0 | cpio --null --sparse -pvd /new/ this line? [07:02] indus: it might be that the command given is wrong but i haven't been able to find another page at the moment [07:02] vigo: my .encryptfs directory whatever that had in it [07:02] how do i make all image files open in a certain program? [07:03] mcrandello: Try a look at this one, am still looking , http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001267.html [07:03] indus: yeah that exact one [07:03] jaime1: i have no idea what it does [07:03] jaime1: i dont think i even understand that tutorial [07:04] jaime1: i guess you try those steps again then [07:04] jaime1: what cant it find exactly? === mclure is now known as mclur3 [07:04] indus: i used this page http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome well that live is to back up the old /home directory on the old partition and also move it to the new one. after that's done you pretty much delete the old /home then put the new one to boot [07:05] indus: ok give a sec and let me try it again [07:06] it says mv: cannot stat /old/home no such file or directory [07:06] hey I just did this "i did this $ adduser --disabled-password transmission" in terminal cause someone was trying to help me run a script, what exactly did that do? i want to undo it [07:06] mcrandello: Whew! found an entire .log on that, http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2006/12/19/%23ubuntu.txt lot of spatter to look over, but is a good read.

[07:07] well whatever u setupname yo [07:07] i set it as the same username [07:07] as i have now [07:07] outch [07:08] what does that mean [07:08] indus: http://paste.ubuntu.com/198240/ [07:08] mcrandello: And this Debian page has a bit to say on that. http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/svn/debian-installer/packages/partman/partman-crypto/debian/po/fi.po [07:08] indus: that should be it [07:08] ivan@ivan-desktop:~$ users [07:08] ivan ivan ivan [07:08] jaime1: u dont have the new home partition mentioned there [07:08] what do i do gogeta [07:09] jaime1: aah wait, this is the live cd fstab i think [07:09] myself i think it did make a user group transmission [07:10] so how do i get rid of that extra user/usergroup? [07:10] in admin [07:10] jaime1: can you see your ubuntu installation? [07:10] and users and groups [07:10] indus: yes you are right. [07:10] jaime1: can you go to the / of that one [07:10] you can change the settings w a nice gui [07:10] how do i run that in sudo [07:10] it will ask [07:10] indus: i cannot [07:11] indus: unless.... [07:11] okay i did it, badass, thank you [07:11] jaime1: you need to mount it i think [07:11] mcrandello: This Aruns Blog explains what it is, sorta : http://www.blog.arun-prabha.com/tag/encryptfs/ [07:11] indus: yeah let me try it again. i found another page which might help me more http://www.ubuntu4life.com/node/30 [07:11] jaime1: do you remember the dev name? like /dev/sda1 or 2 [07:12] Hi room [07:12] i am using ubuntu 8.04 [07:12] hi [07:12] I'm having an issue with my webcam using eeebuntu. The issue is that nothing I do seems to get the webcam to actually work. [07:12] i to [07:13] gergorah kinda a ols distro [07:13] :-old [07:13] indus: yeah the new home was /dev/sda3 while the old was sda2 [07:13] i want to stop my iptables service but i didnt find /etc/init.d/iptables there [07:13] Doesn't work with windows either. [07:13] :( [07:13] But this isn't #windows [07:13] so whatever. [07:13] jaime1: ok do a sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt [07:13] gregorah eeebuntu is dead [07:14] indus: ok i got it [07:14] how? [07:14] http://www.geteasypeasy.com/ [07:14] are you sure? I thought it was ubuntu eee or something that was dead. [07:14] thats its new name [07:14] zerosix06: if i want to stop iptables service then ho can i do ? [07:14] jaime1: basically you just need to add a line in fstab about the new home thats all [07:14] indus: now should i do the next step, copyin files over? the cd/home find . -depth -print etc? [07:14] ubuntu netbook remix also has good support for most netbooks [07:14] bingo: sudo iptables -F flushes loaded ruleset [07:15] jaime1: ah no you have already done that [07:15] and thats a offical [07:15] bingo, iptables is a tool, not a service. [07:15] bingo: Not advised, but is do-able. [07:15] !iptables [07:15] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [07:15] nomand777: and if i again want to start its service ? [07:15] jaime1: can you do a 'cd /dev/sda2? [07:15] rob_p: tool yes tool for firewall ? [07:15] actualy i am new so dont konw very well.. [07:15] indus: yes i can [07:16] Learning is most of the fun! [07:16] bingo, Precisely. It's a tool used in the configuration of the kernel packet filtering. [07:16] rob_P: how is it not service ? [07:16] gogeta: Easy Peasy appears to be Ubuntu-eee, not eeebuntu [07:16] jaime1: good then find fstab from the /etc in that partition [07:16] jaime1: understand? [07:16] sudo gedit /dev/sda2/etc/fstab [07:16] hregorah ubuntu netbook remix is a offical ubuntu :) [07:16] nomand777: sudo iptables -F ok .. now i again want to start iptables then ? [07:17] supports my 900a fine [07:17] jaime1: iam not sure if thats correct [07:17] bingo, A service implies a process that runs... iptables is not, "running" but gets called during the initial configuration of the kernel packet filtering mechanism. [07:17] indus: i enter it but another line just pops out [07:17] bingo, Once iptables establishes the ruleset, it is not, "running." Understand? [07:18] jaime1: aah sorry [07:18] jaime1: bad syntax [07:18] I'll try it, if the webcam doesn't work be prepared to hear me complain :P [07:18] indus: yea [07:18] jaime1: just do a cd /etc/fstab [07:18] rob_P: ok, so its mean it is not daemon, even in cEntos ? [07:18] jaime1: no [07:18] jaime1: cd /etc [07:18] bingo: it's not a daemon, it runs inside the kernel [07:18] indus: no [07:18] bingo, Yes. Even in CentOS. [07:18] jaime1: omg ok got it [07:18] lsarnes: ok.. [07:18] jaime1: cd /mnt [07:19] rob_P: $sudo iptables -L ok.. for flushing rules.. then $sudo iptables-save for again setup rules or in odl working condiition ? [07:19] just as big as real ubuntu lol [07:19] jaime1: got it? now do a cat /etc/fstab [07:19] how that a eee remix [07:19] lol [07:19] indus: yeah i entered it while i was in 'cd /dev/sda2 and when i press enter it just goes into the next line [07:20] rob_P: but in centos when we do #service iptables stop then it got stop.. then no kernel etc ? [07:20] bingo, I'm not familiar with iptables-save. [07:20] jaime1: no no press ctl-x and exit === mcrandello is now known as mcrandello_ [07:20] jaime1: from a prompt type cd /mnt [07:20] from a $ sign that is [07:20] indus: oh ok [07:21] bingo, That's because they happen to call it iptables even though it differs from the utility that is iptables. Thank them for the confusion! [07:21] bingo, They really should have called it something else. [07:21] i see... [07:21] indus: ok yeah i did and i get the same one the one i showed you earlier on [07:21] jaime1: paste the output of mount [07:21] bingo, ...like an iptables configurator or whatever... [07:22] Hey everyone I'm trying to learn about buffer overflows but I can't seem to get around the stack protection, is there another distribution or some other source I could check out that addresses these modern changes in the 2.6.x kernel / ubuntu 9.04? [07:22] lol === o_a is now known as bu_sy [07:22] anactivist the logs? [07:22] bingo: sorry was reading commands available are in /usr/sbin [07:22] bingo: You may be talking about a ufw or some other frontend fort iptables, FireWallBuilder, GuFW, and stuff are frontends GUI widgets for iptables. [07:23] auth-client-config: error: option -p: invalid choice: 'ecryptfs_standard' (choose from 'ldap_example', 'kerberos_example', 'cracklib') [07:23] gogeta, I'm sorry what do you mean by the logs? [07:23] haha [07:23] to find the overflow [07:23] lol [07:23] hello [07:23] indus: ok here it is, http://paste.ubuntu.com/198255/ [07:24] jaime1: in that psychocats tutorial , i suppose you have mounted the old partition on a directory called /old? [07:24] gogeta, I'm sorry I'm still not understanding, are you talking about the dev logs? [07:24] jaime1: could you please navigate to that folder? [07:24] indus: ok give me a sec [07:24] jaime1: have you done those steps now? [07:25] indus: yes i did them all [07:25] hey guys, everytime i try running TF2 with wine it crashes at the same point it worked when i ran windows [07:25] jaime1: so just go to that /old folder and look for etc and fstab inside [07:25] indus: no the old partition was in the same /dev/sda2 [07:25] gogeta? [07:25] jaime1: aah sorry yes /old is only old home [07:26] baa thought you had one nv [07:26] jaime1: 1 sec i want the old / [07:26] indus: yes [07:26] dev lof i say so [07:26] logs [07:27] now im kinda bord [07:27] gogeta, wouldn't that be for trying to exploit ubuntu itself? I'm just trying to exploit simple c programs that I right [07:27] jaime1: i think there is an error in the tutorial. /old will not have etc because /etc comes direct under / [07:27] indus: did u have to make a icon for ff in gnome?? [07:27] nv [07:28] Hello all, in Intrepid and Jaunty there is a program that used to save my sudo password, so I don't get prompted for it again and again, now I am back to Hardy, how to do the same thing? [07:28] nm [07:28] kevin__: no [07:28] I'm trying to perhaps run a more vunerable distro instide vmware? [07:28] indus: wel what the eff [07:28] indus: yeah that's where mine said that the directory of file did not exits. [07:28] anactivist and why would you wanna do that [07:28] indus: and all my plugins are def not compatible dang [07:28] no more stylis facebook [07:28] anactivist best place to mess up a program (windows) [07:29] jaime1: can you navigate to that folder /old [07:29] yes I know but I'm trying to learn about memory management inside linux first [07:29] linux is prety tough to exploite its has protection inside the os [07:29] jaime1: just tell me if you see a folder called etc in there [07:29] I basically need a distro with a 2.4.x kernel that I can run inside vmware [07:29] xdsl or puppy retro are 2.4 [07:30] dsl [07:30] or a relly old ubuntu [07:30] indus: well there was never an /old folder. it just stated that /dev/sda2 was the "old" folder. so i do sudo /dev/sda2? [07:30] AnActivist: or you could take any other distro and roll back the kernel [07:30] AnActivist: or get a earlier version === bu_sy is now known as b_y [07:30] jaime1: do a cd /old [07:30] stealth lol and brake everything [07:30] ok [07:31] gogeta: well if its in a vm, he doesnt have much to loose [07:31] gogeta: and installing a new kernel isnt that hard [07:31] stealth he will suceed in braking it lol [07:31] indus: ok now look for a etc? [07:31] yes [07:31] cd /etc [07:31] indus: eff the beta of ff... lmao, ill stick with my 3.1 or watev [07:31] jaime1: no just cd etc( no slash) [07:31] gogeta: heh [07:32] kevin__: its not even a beta now [07:32] stealth-, how do I roll back the kernel? [07:32] well it say its not final..? [07:32] alright as I understand it here [07:32] AnActivist: simply install a older kernel........ [07:32] http://dustinkirkland.wordpress.com/2008/08/06/encrypted-private-directories-in-ubuntu-intrepid/ [07:32] indus: well i put the dash and it took me to, ubuntu@ubuntu: /etc$ [07:32] jaime1: good [07:32] stealth lol if i said what i whanted to they would kick me lol [07:32] stealth a old joke [07:32] jaime1: now cat fstab [07:32] paste it [07:33] there is no way to recover the passphrase used to decrypt an encrypted private dir once .ecryptfs is gone [07:33] Does it matter what distro a binary is made for? [07:33] AnActivist: you can google for instructions on installing a kernel, just make sure you use the files from an older kernel. [07:33] gogeta: pm me it, I wanna hear it :P [07:33] indus: nope exactly the same as the ones i showed you [07:33] I feel silly asking this, but I accidentally unset show menubar and I'm unsure as to how to set it again since I no longer have access to the menu bar to do this. So how do I? [07:33] rashed2020_: yes, it matters a lot usually... [07:34] jaime1: yes cos thats your ubuntu installation fstab [07:34] jaime1: paste it here [07:34] losher, I'm getting a file not found when I try running the .bin file. Is that the error I'm supposed to be getting? [07:35] rashed2020_: back up a bit. What .bin file are you trying to "run", and where did you get it? [07:36] jaime1: ? the file [07:36] is there a way to play with the sreensavers with a separate program? [07:36] there's a cool screensaver installed by default that shows different molecules and I want to go through each one manually [07:36] they're in 3-D and they move around [07:37] losher, RealNetworks Helix Media Server. It says it's for RHEL, figured I'd try it on Ubuntu instead of downloading CentOS [07:37] it's the Molecule screensaver [07:37] ok, so Ubuntu says that Transmission is already running, but I don't see it on my desktop and I'm not using it. Is there a way to shut it down or make it visible, either way? [07:38] brennus: is it in the tray? [07:38] rashed2020_: brave of you. I'd be surprised it if works. So the .bin file is supposed to be one of those self-extracting install scripts? [07:38] brennus: right click on gnome panel, add application window list [07:39] losher, Yep. That's exactly what is. [07:39] please how could I fiix this: Authentication failed when i type su - [07:39] milo_: use sudo [07:39] milo_: use sudo -i [07:39] indus: I already have application window list. Transmission is not in the list, yet ubuntu says it's running already when I try to open it [07:39] rashed2020_: try making it executable e.g. chmod +x file.bin then run it ./file.bin [07:39] nomin: nope. but it never is [07:40] brennus: then kill it from system monitor [07:40] lol. Looks like other people like this Molecule screensaver too: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=291503 [07:40] thanks guys, but i want to understand why it's saying authentication failed [07:41] milo_: su is depreciated in ubuntu, you should use sudo (-i) instead [07:41] losher, Tried that. No use. I'm surprised it says file not found. I'm on a 32bit system, so installing ia32-libs isn't the solution to this either :/ [07:41] ziroday: i see. thanks [07:41] how do i check whether my laptop hdd is connected via sata interface or not? is there any lshw-like command [07:41] How do I upgrade Ubuntu on a USB key? If I try to upgrade, I run out of disk space pretty quickly. [07:42] rashed2020_: run 'file file.bin' and see what kind of file 'file' thinks it is, if you see what I mean... [07:43] SandGorgon: you can see that with smartmontools. Install it and do smartctl -a /dev/ [07:43] indus:thank you! that was just what I was looking for [07:43] brennus: :) [07:44] losher, rs1201-ga-linux-rhel5.bin: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, not stripped [07:45] <_M4rk_> i have setup domains on my vps using apache manually. when doing this, is there a way to view the domains like with cpanel you can go to /~name. is there anything like this i can do? [07:45] <_M4rk_> i want to view them before the domains propogate [07:46] how to install xorg development package [07:46] rashed2020_: Hm. I thought it would be a shell script but it's not. There may be no way to force it to execute on your system. Does ldd rs1201-ga-linux-rhel5.bin even find the libraries? [07:46] _M4rk_: a neat trick is editing your /etc/hosts file to point at the domain. So for instance foo.example.com 111.111.111.111 line in /etc/hosts would make foo.example.org go to 111.111.111.111 [07:47] losher, /usr/bin/ldd: line 117: ./rs1201-ga-linux-rhel5.bin: No such file or directory [07:47] I don't know if it's talking about the libraries or the actual file [07:47] _M4rk_: err that should be 111.111.111.111 foo.example.org in your /etc/hosts sorry [07:47] <_M4rk_> but that would try and go to the domain wouldn't it? [07:47] <_M4rk_> the domains are not pointing to the server yet [07:47] rashed2020_; either way it's bad news.... [07:48] <_M4rk_> ideally i would like to go to like /domain or somethin [07:48] hey sorry i guess my live cd froze or something:-( [07:48] I'm trying to set up an FTP server [07:48] Does anybody know how MasqueradeAddress works? [07:49] hello i was having problems with mounting a new /home can anyone help me? [07:50] jaime1: hi [07:50] hi [07:50] indus: yeah sorry my live CD froze [07:50] jaime1: have you moved the old partition with the mv command? [07:50] _M4rk_: that's the point, you don't need the domains to propogate as you have manually pointed to them in your own computers DNS if you like === brennus is now known as UbuntuIsMyHero [07:50] indus: no i barely rebooted [07:50] jaime1: its still mounting the old because you probably havent moved it [07:50] losher, Sorry I disconnected by mistake. I asked if it was time to install CentOS. [07:50] _M4rk_: so if you've created the subdomain in apache already it will work [07:50] indus: yeah probably [07:51] indus: i had all of my pages up but now they're deleted, i'm gonna have to start it again [07:51] rashed2020_: well that's the one thing that's pretty much guaranteed to work.... [07:51] jaime1: what pages? [07:51] Fedora 11 ftw [07:51] losher, Alright. Thanks for all the help! [07:51] anyone know why I can't get into #java? === UbuntuIsMyHero is now known as brennus [07:51] thanatos: #freenode will be able to help you [07:52] indus: oh like the progress on the terminal, and the guides i was using and all of that [07:52] i'm id'd on nickserv [07:52] ok [07:52] jaime1: the procedure is actually easy [07:52] jaime1: a little patience :) [07:52] indus: yeah i know === kronaynay is now known as kronix` [07:53] jaime1: that old ubuntu / must be mounted now [07:53] indus: so, so far i have the new /home mounted. === kronix` is now known as kronix [07:53] jaime1:but arent you using live cd now? [07:53] indus: yeah. i was before actually. that's why it froze. i was in the middle of processing a terminal command when it just froze. [07:53] hello everyone [07:54] jaime1: now you are not on live cd? [07:54] indus: i think i still have to copy files [07:54] jaime1: just follow the steps again ,it should work === nix is now known as Guest565 [07:54] indus: yeah i always was, but i just had to reboot cuz it froze. i can't get on regularly because it reading the old /home which is deleted [07:55] indus: yeah i'm on that [07:55] jaime1: it will only read the old home if you havent edited your fstab to use it [07:55] I will be looking to set up an IRC server on my ubuntu box, does anyone have a suggestion for a which IRC server package i should use, and also if its possible a server that outputs the IRC server stats to a webpage [07:55] jaime1: this line /dev/sda3 /home ext3 nodev,nosuid 0 2 [07:55] i will figure out the configuration myself [07:56] jaime1: will make it read the new /home [07:56] dove sono le chat room? [07:56] indus: ok yeah [07:56] jaime1: thats why i asked for the fstab [07:57] indus: well i tried to copy the files over but i got this cannot make directory /mnt/new home permission denied [07:57] jaime1: need to use a sudo [07:57] mkdir /mnt/new_home ( or whatever name u want) [07:57] indus: yeah i'm gonna have to go through the fstab cd /dev/ etc.... [07:58] indus: ok yeah i went into that /new_home [07:58] indus: so now i go /fstab/ ? [07:59] jaime1: why into the new home? the fstab is not in any home [07:59] any1 having boring and some sparetime to help a guy just started using ubuntu?:) PM me [07:59] jaime1: its under the original ubuntu installations root partition the / [07:59] indus: well isn't fstab in cd /dev/sda2 which was the original? [07:59] /etc/fstab which i hope you have mounted under /old [07:59] indus: that's where i was [08:00] jaime1: ok if sda2 is wher you intalled ubuntu then yes its there [08:00] how do i mount bin/cue files in ubuntu ?:o [08:00] ok, i have created a user on my slice. using the cli i can login as normal. but when i use nautilus to try and use ssh/sftp to use the browser for files it doesnt accept my password. /var/log/auth.log only says invalid password. when using nautilus this is my response in the error log; [08:00] jaime1: so can i see the fstab now ? [08:00] Jun 18 06:24:25 shamce sshd[7273]: Did not receive identification string from 173.127.211.208 [08:00] Jun 18 06:24:55 shamce sshd[7275]: Failed password for aneikirk from 173.127.211.208 port 34527 ssh2 [08:00] i cant figure out why they cant login via sftp/ssh to browse files [08:01] indus: ok weird. now when i go into cd /dev/sda2 it says not a directory [08:01] sorry when i say slice i mean i have a VPS server. force of habit [08:01] jaime1: exactly, you cant do a cd device name but a cd to the place where you mounted it [08:02] jaime1: so do a cd /old [08:02] cd /old/etc [08:02] kr3wie: you can't.. you'll have to convert them to isos first [08:02] kr3wie: use bchunk [08:02] indus: no. cd/old/etc - no such file or directory [08:03] jaime1: have you run this step >>> sudo mkdir old? [08:03] jaime1: then sudo mount /dev/sda2 /old? [08:03] hi im getting to many open file errors while using eclipe [08:03] jaime1: then sudo mount -t /dev/sda2 /old? [08:03] sorry i missed the -t [08:03] jaime1: unless you create a dir and mount it how will you see it [08:04] i want an opinion, not a distro fight. I have xp on my laptop, debian on the servers, but i want to add a linux distro to my laptop, something with a little more "glitz" than my debian ones on the server, and works right out of the box. something to "play with...", something "fun"... is ubuntu the one for me? [08:04] hello, is there a way I can run a command when a network interface comes up [08:04] indus: yeah i think we're looking at completely different guides. [08:04] luckylucy, then ubuntu is the best choise imo [08:04] (automatically that is) [08:04] choice* [08:04] jaime1:look athe the original guide [08:04] is this an eclipse error or does it involve security settings [08:04] luckylucy: Yes. :3 [08:04] jaime1: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [08:04] jaime1: its good enough [08:05] indus: i have no sudo mount -t on /old. only sudo mount -t on /new home [08:05] indus: ok yeah i was on another one i found [08:05] jaime1: well,the procedure is similar [08:05] http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/ i think this one is simpler [08:06] jaime1: did you mount the ubuntu partition ? [08:06] jaime1: i think older one is simpler === sopi_ is now known as Guest24969 [08:07] jaime1: ok come in pm [08:07] indus: seems pretty straightforward about moving /home's [08:07] kevin__: ya well it is [08:07] wat seems to be the trouble [08:07] kevin__: but there is a critical copy featuer which shouldnt be missed [08:08] kevin__: well,he is changing guides [08:08] :) [08:08] ...?? [08:08] crazy [08:08] wat critical cp feature is that lol> [08:08] indus: sorry my comp all of a sudden froze. damn disk ok let me look at the older one === kevin__ is now known as canadaeh [08:08] im now refred to as /me [08:08] * canadaeh is kevin [08:09] indus: ok let's restart at the first step [08:09] kevin__: well,creating a new home is easy,but making ubuntu to read it involves a lot of linkages in the home dir and moving it to new home and preserve those links [08:09] indus: the sudo kdir/old thing [08:09] jaime1: ok do the first 4 steps he says with mdir /old etc [08:09] indus: like doesnt fstab take care of all that [08:09] jaime1: just use your partition names etc correct [08:10] jaime1: now you are on live cd so no [08:10] jaime1: ok i needa smoke 5 min [08:10] indus: yeah [08:10] jaime1: you gettin it bro [08:10] help [08:10] pls [08:10] hah [08:11] i just moved my /boot to a new partition so its probly around the same guide.. [08:11] * syn-ack broke his mp3 hahaha [08:11] regarding open file limits [08:11] jaime1: the concept is>> u mount the ubuntu partition ,then edit its fstab to add the new /home, and also remove the old /home [08:11] * syn-ack digs in to the internals of this new alpha to figure out whats up... [08:11] eclipse is throwing a too many open files error [08:11] any1 have time to help a n00b? PM me :) [08:12] indus: yeah i get it. i'm just having problems locating the old /home [08:12] kr3wie: keep it in the channel. Whats up [08:12] hello!!! [08:12] jaime1: its under the /old/home [08:12] lol that sounds hilarious [08:12] indus: unless he already mounted the new /home [08:12] i'm not sure if my system is 64 bit or 32bit.. how do I tell? [08:13] help [08:13] fosa: what type of proc do you have? [08:13] fosa: by your processor [08:13] jaime1: did you mount /dev/sda2 on /old? [08:13] core2duo [08:13] fosa: yes. [08:13] yes what? [08:13] syn-ack: he is on live cd so wont matter [08:13] fosa: then its 32bit [08:13] fosa: 64 is amd [08:13] open file limits do they still apply yo jaunty [08:13] indus: ok yeah i mounted [08:13] fosa: canadaeh:its a 64 bit processor [08:13] indus: ah, channels moving a little fast [08:13] Hi [08:13] well it's like imbarresing but yeah shit the same. Installed ubuntu this weekend so I'm really new with the OS, I just can't understand How to install this stuff: [08:13] [08:13] $ gzip -d -c bchunk-1.2.0.tar.gz | tar xvf - [08:13] $ cd bchunk-1.2.0 [08:13] $ make [08:13] kr3wie: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[08:14] jaime1: thats your old home [08:14] kjhkjk [08:14] fosa: 32bit lol [08:14] indus: yeah i'm there [08:14] indus: a core2 is a going to be either or [08:14] paulo: what was the limit before jaunty? [08:14] generally they are 64 if they are a newer proc [08:15] fosa: a core2duo is a 64 bit processor but whats ur question [08:15] indus: shouldnt it be cd /old/home? [08:15] i've searched it was 1028 [08:15] indus: you just answered it. :P [08:15] syn-ack, canadaeh indus i thought it was 32bit but i'm having trouble getting java-plugin to work for firefox so now i'm not sure [08:15] jaime1: ya cd /old/home isnt that what i siad? [08:15] Its a 64 bit proc.... [08:15] indus: ok [08:15] Hi guys, every once in a while (it's been about a month now) one of our ubuntu servers has some ext3 issues and sets the root partition as read only, can anyone help me figure out why? the drive is on a raid 0 mirrored array, and I've just checked it's running without problems [08:15] well it's like imbarresing but yeah shit the same. Installed ubuntu this weekend so I'm really new with the OS, I just can't understand How to install this stuff:$ gzip -d -c bchunk-1.2.0.tar.gz | tar xvf - $ cd bchunk-1.2.0 $ make # make install. I understand that i should use the terminal, but... argh how does this work O_O [08:15] fosa: Now to be honest, it will work either way as a 32 or 64 bit mode [08:16] indus: so now find . -depth -print 0, etc....?

[09:02] fosa: how is iced-tea treatin ya? [09:02] kevin__, awful [09:03] kevin__, but it's probably some kind of issue with ubuntu64 [09:03] jaime1, hmm .. you running that command within the live CD right? [09:03] unop: yes i am. [09:03] I haven't found anything yet unop ... the annoying thing is, that this works in other distros and I don't know why [09:04] * beli shrugs [09:04] Draglor, ubuntu has done a few things to su and sudo that other distros havent [09:04] But I'll try "sudo -u" maybe it has something to do with the sudoers settings in ubuntu (if I do a ) [09:04] Ok, I've been trying to figure this out for days. The webcam on my eee 1000he isn't working. there is no /dev/video* and Cheese/Ekiga/Skype doesn't find a webcam. The green light never turns on. [09:04] I'm 95% confident the webcam is enabled in the BIOS [09:04] Draglor: ubuntu is using different security, why not use what you are told? use sudo...thats what its ment for WITH ubuntu [09:04] Hi, i Found bug where report a bug ? [09:04] unop: I know ... well they have some other settings, no other sudo ... and some others distros have them as well [09:04] does anybody know why ping -f does not show anything else except 2 dots on the next line ? [09:05] beli: ment by you! [09:05] drm? .. [09:05] Draglor: no not by me....ask all others here [09:05] sudo is for executing stuff as other user on ubuntu [09:05] and why do i have su? [09:05] beli, su works too - atleast it does for me [09:06] unop: yeah well i'm trying to view the fstab... [09:06] unop: shouldnt on a fresh install...maybe you altered configuration [09:06] and beli? you are able to read? so what do you think should my post "But I'll try "sudo -u"" mean? [09:06] jaime1, mount the volume that has ubuntu installed .. and view the etc/passwd file - look for the line that has your username [09:06] Draglor: i told you to read the manual man sudo [09:07] Where i can report a bug ? [09:07] Draglor: so dont tell me that i am not able to read [09:07] ignored [09:07] I did .. [09:07] Reading the CUE file:... ouch, no space after index number.... ouch, no space after index number.... ouch, no space after INDEX. [09:07] can any1 give me libdrm 2.4.6.deb [09:07] plz [09:07] get that errormes when trin to make an iso [09:07] whats wrong [09:07] Draglor, beli - let this pass now .. enough aleady [09:07] DrS: A bug for which app? [09:07] unop: I'm ignoring him ;) [09:07] So it's over [09:08] unop: i ignored him...i hate it to be flamed while trying to help [09:08] ok ... drm:i915_get_vblank_counter *ERROR* trying to get vblank counfor disabled pipe 1 [09:08] unop: so then i'll mount $sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda2 /mnt/old? [09:08] help me [09:08] I'm running Ubuntu NBR [09:08] why i can't install any .deb files on Koala Alpha 2 ? : http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7131/bugevw.png [09:08] jaime1, that should work .. assuming /dev/sda2 is your partition and /mnt/old exists [09:08] DrS: ask in #ubuntu+1 === shady` is now known as shady === shady is now known as Shady [09:09] unop: yeah /dev/sda2 is the ubuntu partition. /old doesn't exist but /root does. that was were all of my files were saved. i just pasted the text from the site i'm using [09:09] I'm trying to burn an iso to CD. I put a blank CD in I don't see anything in dolphin showing it. I right click the .iso and "burn cd image with k3b". kbe opens up, burn medium is "Empty CD-R medium" and only one in list. How do I get kubuntu to recognize my DVD/CD burner? [09:09] moin [09:10] DrS: Try installing them in a commandline (dpkg -i debfile) [09:10] Serpardum: that is the blank CD [09:10] * Serpardum slaps his forehead [09:10] thanks [09:10] jaime1, first let's have a look at the home directory configured for your user .. [09:10] Draglor: we do not support development versions of ubuntu here, that and dpkg -i wont work. [09:10] Serpardum: it does...the blank cd is detected bye ubuntu from your rw drive [09:10] Serpardum: have fun [09:11] unop: alright how do i do that? [09:11] I thought it mean the cd drive was blank. heh [09:11] it's burning now. thanks [09:11] ziroday: nice behaviour .. [09:11] Draglor : cant install .. [09:11] ok .. can i install from the command line of a live cd? [09:11] Draglor: ? [09:12] waters: yep, you can install anything you want as long as it does not require a restart [09:13] what is the command to install ubuntu from the command line of the live cd? [09:13] jaime1, you need the line from etc/passwd on the mounted volume that has your username (i.e. jaime) [09:13] DrS: you're running a piece of Alpha software... that wont get any support in here since its more or less "broken" right now and you have to do weird stuff to get things to work." [09:13] waters: ubiquity [09:13] unop: yeah the volume that has my username is /dev/sda2. so then i mount it? [09:14] cannot open display .. [09:14] jaime1, yes please [09:14] waters: the livecd has no command line installer. You need to use the alternate cd. [09:14] k [09:14] just got done with the d/l ... [09:14] jaime1, mount the volume .. then open the etc/passwd file, then look for the line that has your username .. copy and paste here. [09:15] waters: but íf your live ubuntu fails...you should first try to fix the problems [09:15] it's a xconf problem [09:15] waters: yes and this Xorg problem will also be there after using the installer and booting from your harddrive [09:16] jaime1: hi what seems to be the problem now [09:16] ok .. [09:16] waters: so better try to find the source of the problem first [09:16] unop: ok yeah well the mount i know is sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda2? [09:16] indus: hey well i mean it's the same thing, it's not recognizing the /home [09:16] jaime1, yea, use that [09:16] jaime1: what is the error now [09:16] beli: or he can install and have a system that is a lot more flexible to use then the livecd and we can diagnose the issue then. It doesn't make any difference really. [09:17] indus, let him do what i asked him first please .. [09:17] unop: ok sure go ahead [09:17] indus: once i got into the regular one it said direcotry /home/jaime may not exist. do you want to use /root as directory. then i got could not update ICE authority file, then problem with config. server [09:17] ziroday: ok thats true, but i would try to look what is happening first....maybe some real unsupported hardware is used on his box, but ok....lets give it a try ;) [09:17] unop: ok give me one sec [09:18] jaime1: its the error mentioned in last part of tutorial [09:18] I'm looking for an extraction software that auto-detects compression and chmods the files correctly. I found one a month ago, delayed its installation, and now I am incapable of finding it again. It claimed to a cl, open source equivalent of stuffit expander. [09:18] pngll: hmm, try to search for it at freshmeat.net or sourceforge.net === Vobine_ is now known as Vobine [09:19] unop: ok it took a while, live CD kinda slow, but it should be mounted. now you want me to do the usernm thing? [09:19] indus: yes i believe so [09:20] pngll: I presume stuffit is just some compression software? [09:20] ziroday, yes [09:20] jaime1, yea please [09:20] pngll: what [09:20] pngll: what's wrong with lzma, or bunzip compression? [09:20] I just mentioned it in case it would ring a bell for anyone. [09:20] I've got a problem with the webcam on my Eee: It's not working. It's enabled in the BIOS but I don't see anything that resembles it in /dev/ and Cheese et. al. can't find it. [09:21] unop: grep "^jaime" /etc/passwd. yeah it's just loading i think [09:21] ziroday, no, it was a decompression tool. Basically you called the-tool the-archive.ext and it automatically detected its typed, created a folder for it, decompressed the files there and chmodded them correctly. [09:21] jaime1, that would look at /etc/passwd on the live CD - not the one on your ubuntu partition [09:21] oh ok [09:22] jaime1, instead you'll need something like. grep "^jaime" /mnt/etc/passwd # assuming your partition is mounted at /mnt [09:22] pngll: so, similar to the Archive Manager then? [09:23] jaime1, but it might just be easier to navigate your partition using the GUI and open the passwd file in gedit or similar. [09:23] ziroday, yes [09:23] plz plz help me [09:23] Requested 'libdrm >= 2.4.6' but version of libdrm is 2.4.5 [09:23] how to update libdrm plz [09:23] pngll: sorry I'm kind of confused, what exactly are you trying to do? [09:24] om26er: what packaeg are you installing? [09:24] pngll: search fm and sf....they have plenty of stuff [09:24] unop: is gedit available in the live cd? [09:24] hello everybody [09:24] jaime1, yes [09:24] WhiteScar: Hi! === kevin__ is now known as canadaeh [09:24] ziroday: he is searching for a console app that when called like "decompressor foofile" detects the compression....and extracts it to a folder [09:24] ziroday i m installing intel driver [09:24] jaime1, even if it isn't you can use a load of other programs to view the file - since it's a normal text file [09:25] !intel | om26er I recommend you *carefully* follow the forum guide [09:25] om26er I recommend you *carefully* follow the forum guide: 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. [09:25] ziroday, (and beli ) I'm looking at freshmeat now. [09:26] unop: yeah it's not there ok let me if its just text i think word processor should work right? [09:26] ziroday, looking for a tool that allows me to stop thinking about what how the file that I just downloaded was compressed. [09:26] jaime1, yea, that or cat, firefox, anything [09:28] unop: yeah firefox since word processor will probably take ages to load. ok so then GUI... how can i use that through firefox? === wojtek is now known as Guest89965 [09:28] pngll: you know 7zip? theres p7zip for linux console...try it [09:28] beli, haha I just landed on the p7zip page. [09:29] Hi all. [09:29] Omar871: Hi! [09:30] pngll: but basically you could write a shell script to do your job.....use the "file" command and some regexp to check what the file really contains...then use bunzip, bunzip2, unrar, ... whatever to extract it ;) [09:30] Is it just me or is the "Edit Location" thing on Launchpad broken? [09:31] I have this small issue regarding sound. A couple of days ago I tried to switch from ALSA to OSS4, but then I switched back. For some reason, after I switched back both built-in and external speakers started to work together at the same time. How do I disable that? [09:32] jaime1, find the file first in the file explorer .. then just double click it [09:32] jaime1, if nothing will open it then .. right click, open with ... [09:32] When I go in to edit, there's no marker. Eventually figured out you have to double-click the map to make it appear. But every time I place it, when I update and go back to the main profile page it reverts to Kazakhstan [09:32] And I'm in the UK [09:32] I have nothing against Kazakhstan of course [09:33] unop: ok [09:33] whats the correct format for putting ip addresses into /etc/ppp/chap-secrets , the fourth field called ip addresses? can it be like this: 12.130.88.0-12.130.88.255,62.32.35.32-62.32.35.127 [09:33] ok so i just put OS3.0 on my phone 3G but is there a way to tether it to my jaunty?? via usb/bluetooth???? [09:33] what does euthanized mean ? [09:34] unop: ok i think i know how to fix it. i just have to change something that looks like it was wrong in the fstab, i'll reboot and see what happens [09:34] milligan_: put out of one's misery .. euphemism for being killed to prevent suffering, usually from disease.

How do I disable that? === saulus_ is now known as SauLus [09:46] Omar871: are you talking about the PC speaker? [09:46] You may be able to mute that in the mixer [09:46] pngll: bloat [09:47] ectospasm: Yeah, it's a laptop actually. [09:47] I've got a problem with the webcam on my Eee: It's not working. It's enabled in the BIOS but I don't see anything that resembles it in /dev/ and Cheese et. al. can't find it. [09:47] ectospasm: so its not the pc speaker then [09:47] hi [09:47] I heard that next ubuntu will ship the gnome 3 testing.. what's that? [09:47] ectospasm: internal speaker in this case is the laptop speaker [09:47] indus: yeah, I caught that. Thanks for point it out to me again, though. [09:47] s/point/pointing/ [09:47] :) :P [09:48] ectospasm: internal speaker is a vague term i think [09:48] gypsymauro: its where there will be a package to test gnome 3 and its features. [09:48] gregorah_: hi [09:48] indus: Yeah, then what should I call it instead? [09:48] indus: heyo. [09:48] Omar871: laptop speakers [09:48] gregorah_: so whats the output of lspci [09:48] lsusb [09:48] both [09:49] indus: Oh, okay. :) I will. [09:49] want me to pastebin it? [09:49] paste i hope [09:49] yeah [09:50] ziroday: I got it but on gnome website there are no info about gnome3 except this :http://live.gnome.org/ThreePointZero/Plan [09:50] !sound [09:50] 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).

How do I partition my hdd such that everything in the "/usr" directory is on 1 parition, and everything else is on another? [09:50] http://pastebin.com/mc0df4f4 [09:50] gypsymauro: yes, that is the plan [09:50] Simple question: I am gonna do a new Ubuntu install. How do I partition my hdd such that everything in the "/usr" directory is on 1 parition, and everything else is on another? [09:51] oops sorry for spam [09:51] dayo: you need to use the manual partition option, create one partition as /usr and another as / [09:51] gregorah_: which one is ur webcam btw, i cant see it [09:51] dayo: what's the point of that? I would think /home would make more sense as its own partition. [09:52] dayo: very easy dayo, specify a separate /usr thats all [09:52] indus: I'm not sure that any of them are, tbh. [09:52] ecto: Actually, yes it will be /home on another paritition [09:52] gregorah_: whats the model number of laptop [09:52] Eee 1000HE [09:52] indus and ziro: Oh, so this is something I can do DURING Ubuntu's installtion? its not something done later ? [09:52] indus: so how do I solve this? :) [09:52] dayo: yes, during installation [09:52] ecto: Thanks [09:53] dayo: it's possible to do it after installation, but it's really not worth the hassle [09:53] ecto: I agree [09:53] PPPPP principle, and all [09:55] dayo: yes [09:55] indus: How do I seperate them? [09:55] Omar871: so laptop speakers and external speakers both make noise? === Oetzi_ is now known as Oetzi [09:55] Omar871: how have you conected the external speajer [09:56] indus: Not the noise issue. They work together. [09:56] Omar871: ya thats what i meant by noise [09:56] indus: I simply connected to to the speaker slot. [09:56] indus: any ideas? Should I break out the hammer? [09:56] looking for a google calendar widget that sits on my desktop or is accessible via say screenlets? [09:56] gregorah_: which model is this laptop [09:56] indus: They weren't like that before I tried to switch. [09:57] indus: Asus Eee 1000 HE [09:57] gregorah_: and which is the webcam [09:57] gregorah_: you said its detected in the bios? [09:57] indus: I'm not sure if any of them are. [09:57] indus: It's listed in the BIOS. [09:58] gregorah_: as what [09:58] Morning [09:59] It's listed as "Onboard Camera [Enabled]" [10:00] On a default Ubuntu server 9.04 install is port 80 disabled/locked and how do I enable it? And no there is no apache and I dont want to run apache. [10:00] indus: It's listed as "Onboard Camera [Enabled]" [10:00] <_vm158> hi. can you tell, where i can find documentation about ubuntu. not faq. i need docs, how it works from "/sbin/init" to desktop? thanks... [10:00] gregorah_: ok wiat [10:00] wait [10:00] _vm158: help.ubuntu.com [10:01] gregorah_: have you tried ekiga or skype to check webcam? [10:01] gregorah_: what does cheese tell u [10:01] Harag: No. It's not locked. You don't want to run apache, but you want to do something on port 80? what are you hoping to use port 80 for? [10:01] indus: yep. They don't detect any devices. There's nothing. Nothing at /dev/video* either. [10:02] hi there, does "jack retsking" works on ubuntu as it does in windows? [10:02] anyone know if they are going to update the version of kismet in the repository to the current version soon or not? [10:02] Flannel: Running a lisp webserver...the server runs fine on 8080 but if I try to get the server to bind to port 80 then I get permission denied...and theserver is run by root [10:02] gregorah_: which version of ubuntu u using? [10:02] Harag: Is something already listening on port 80? (netstat -a)? [10:03] clepto: What's changed about the new version? [10:03] indus: Ubuntu 9.04 (jaunty) Netbook Remix. [10:03] <_vm158> no, i need not to know, how to install software or codecs, i need technical info [10:04] Flannel: nope nothing on port 80 [10:04] _vm158: There's technical information in those pages. Is there something specific we can help you find? [10:04] Harag: That's odd. Running as root should allow you to bind to port 80 no problem. [10:04] flannel: pretty much everything [10:05] Flannel: Yeah that is what I thought aswell ...but I am no linux expert [10:05] flannel: the ui is completely different how the server interacts with the client and there are a whole lot of improvments all around. [10:05] <_vm158> mmm... tell direct link please. i dont see... [10:05] indus: Ekiga gives me two video devices: "*.avi (PTLIB/FFMPEG)" and "Moving Logo (Moving Logo/Moving Logo)". Cheese just detects no camera. [10:05] _vm158: Direct link to what? [10:06] gregorah_: wait i check [10:06] <_vm158> "There's technical information in those pages" what information for example? [10:06] clepto: Then no, it likely won't be. The way software works in Ubuntu is stuff is 'frozen' to the version its released with (which is actually a couple of months old), and then only bugfixes and security updates happen after the release (well, except backports, but that's a case by case basis). To get the new one, your best course of action right now is to ping the maintainers and make sure it gets into Karmic (the next release) [10:07] gregorah_: install the program lvcview [10:07] _vm158: Technical information on what? What are you looking for specifically? [10:07] flannel: that sucks... the current version that is listed is over a year old. [10:07] gregorah_: wait [10:08] gregorah_: lucview from synaptic [10:09] flannel: i installed it the old fashioned way so its not that big of a loss but figured it would be nice to have it set up to work with apt-get. [10:09] indus luvcview? [10:09] <_vm158> kernel runs "/sbin/init". "/sbin/init" runs ...? what? [10:10] gregorah_: lucview [10:10] clepto: Yeah, that's just the way software works in Ubuntu. Once it's packaged for a version, it's easy to install it on the older versions though. So, there is some silver lining. [10:10] indus: I don't see a lucview. [10:10] could anyone tell me why ubuntu refuses to open irc:// links with any irc client i choose? [10:10] gregorah_: aah sorry luvcview [10:11] flannel: are there other repositories that work with ubuntu that might be more up to date? [10:12] hi [10:12] indus: installed. What do I do with it? [10:12] _vm158: Ubuntu uses upstart, which is different than most others, you can find technical information here: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ Although you'll also benefit from the standard linux /sbin/init stuff, since that's still in use as well (and that's just generic linux documentation stuff) [10:12] any idea why the Demos on the blender game CD don't work with Blender 2.49 ? [10:12] clepto: Not that I'm aware of for that, no. [10:12] gregorah_: run it :) or run with it whichever :P [10:13] flannel: ok thanks for your help. [10:13] <_vm158> thanks [10:13] clepto: My pleasure [10:13] indus: It gives me an error: ERROR opening v4L interface: No such file or directory [10:14] _vm158: /sbin/init reads /etc/inittab runs script defined sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS switches to runlevel defined by initdefault: something like that ? [10:14] im trying to remove some things i installed, but if i 'sudo apt-get remove' them it just says 'Errors were encountered while processing:' what else can i do? [10:14] gregorah_: hmmmppp [10:14] gregorah_: ok dont know what to do now [10:14] indus: :( [10:14] could anyone please tell me why ubuntu refuses to open irc:// links with any irc client i choose? [10:15] gregorah_: oye ok ok wait [10:15] gregorah_: type gstreamer-properties in terminal === XDS2010 is now known as XDS2010|AFK [10:16] indus: If I mess with the default input for video, it tells me that /dev/video0 doesn't exist. [10:17] Hi. I have one feature request (I do not know how to report it) - start Firefox, switch to "cyrilic". I want to be able to write in "english" inside address bar and "cyrilic" inside the browser. Will be nice feature. [10:17] hi there, does "jack retasking" works on ubuntu as it does in windows? [10:17] salm0n: Firefox? [10:17] gregorah_: hmm ok seems like a permissions issue [10:17] gregorah_: ok wait [10:17] mmm4m5m: Well, you'd probably be better off reporting that upstream (to the firefox people, not the Ubuntu people), but.... [10:17] mobi-sheep: xchat, irssi, pidgin [10:17] !launchpad [10:17] salm0n: I think you're looking for Applications under Firefox Preferences where you can edit IRC and such. [10:17] Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ [10:18] salm0n: I mean your web browser -- where you click the irc:// links? [10:18] Flannel: thanks, will try :) [10:18] indus: Doesn't seem to be a permissions issue: There's no /dev/video0 at all. [10:18] mobi-sheep: yes [10:18] gregorah_: thats all just terminal crap nvm [10:18] mmm4m5m: Launchpad is where you'd to suggest it to Ubuntu people. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ is where you'd go to report it to mozilla people [10:18] hey, i remenber from years back on fedora I used to press F2 to get a "run command" dialog, is there a way to do this in 9.04? [10:18] gregorah_: type cheese in terminal [10:18] spudCakePie: alt+f2 [10:18] on gnome [10:18] spudCakePie: ALT + F2. [10:18] woot thanks [10:19] hallo [10:19] spudCakePie: ALT + F1 (for Gnome Menu) ;) [10:19] mobi-sheep: yes it gives me the option of what to choose to open the link then does nothing after i choose it [10:19] indus: ok [10:19] $ cheese [10:19] The program 'cheese' can be found in the following packages: [10:19] * cheese [10:19] * cheese-hildon [10:19] lol [10:19] spudCakePie: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:20] salm0n: You may need to add an application other than purple-url-handler (looks like Pidgin). [10:20] mobi-sheep: ive tried irssi and xchat as well [10:21] We are trying to get Sophos Anti-virus to run on Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty (Kernel Version: 2.6.28-12-generic) [10:21] indus: All I see is the test stream, there's no capture going on and there's no LED on on my webcam. [10:21] gregorah_: any output on terminal? [10:22] but when there is a new Kernel update we need to re-install sophos...this is the response from Sophos support: [10:22] salm0n: Any help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25372 [10:22] indus: Error: Stream contains no data. [10:22] gregorah_: ok [10:22] and other errors related to that. [10:22] (can't find the type of an empty stream, etc) [10:23] Ubuntu compiles their Kernels with the CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA option set to Yes. There is physically no possibility for us to get Talpa working on it. [10:23] So I'm afraid for the moment the only workaround available for the customer is to compile his own kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA set to No. [10:23] Will this change back after a kernel update? [10:23] gregorah_: does your bios have a start and finished option? [10:24] Chaps: yes, as you are installing a kernel from the ubuntu repo's which has CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA set to Yes [10:24] salm0n: I would think it's trivial to set up so Firefox can open irc:// chats for XChat (or any clients) but that's just me. [10:24] Chaps: you will have to recompile your own kernel again, or just not update the kernel [10:24] indus: I don't think so, but where would I check? [10:24] mobi-sheep: why [10:24] gregorah_: in bios disable adn enable webcam again [10:24] hello [10:25] salm0n, do you want to have firefox handle irc:// links? [10:25] gregorah_: wait [10:25] unop yes [10:25] Thanks Ziroday [10:25] gregorah_: in bios there is a setting for bios installation set it to finished [10:26] gregorah_: OS installation [10:26] Chaps: and you do understand that anti-viruses for linux are not necessary correct? [10:26] !virus | Chaps [10:26] Chaps: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [10:26] unop well firefox gives me the option to choose any irc client to open the irc link but when i choose the programs it does nothing [10:26] hello all [10:27] salm0n: Because people generally don't click on irc:// links all times and irc:// links is not often seen on the websites. [10:27] salm0n, open about:config .. create a new boolean called network.protocol-handler.external.irc set to true .. then create a new string called network.protocol-handler.app.irc with a value /usr/bin/xchat -e --url=%s [10:27] gregorah_: ok ?? go into bios and look for this , set OS Installation to finished [10:28] indus: not seeing it anywhere. [10:28] gregorah_: shouldnt you reboot to go into bios? [10:28] unop ive already tried that [10:28] indus: irssi on a different computer. [10:28] in body here live in egypt or korea [10:28] salm0n, does firefox remember those values you've set? [10:29] gregorah_: there is an option i read so search for it [10:29] unop yes [10:29] gregorah_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Fixes [10:29] indus: I think that's for the 700 series? [10:30] gregorah_: common [10:30] I don't see any bios setting like that, srsly. [10:30] salm0n, what program are you using to handle irc:// links ? === sean is now known as Guest40892 [10:30] i want to be afriend [10:30] with any one [10:30] ive tried xchat, pidgin and irssi [10:31] hosamelfeky: good luck with that ! [10:31] gregorah_: can u disable and enable the webcam again? [10:32] salm0n, so let me get this straight .. firefox let's you setup the associations and this works so long as the programs are already running but not if they aren't ?? [10:33] unop no, it opens the programs when i click the irc links and choose a program but then the program just sits there and does nothing and doesn't open the links [10:35] salm0n, ok, you mentioned that you changed something in about:config .. did you do this before trying to associate them automatically? [10:35] no [10:35] salm0n, are the changes you made in about:config still present? [10:35] yes [10:36] salm0n, undo them and try again . [10:36] delete the string? [10:36] salm0n, you could do that .. or change the boolean to false [10:37] gregorah_: ? any luck? [10:37] salm0n: Are you using xchat or xchat-gnome? [10:37] xchat [10:38] unop: didnt work [10:38] indus: I couldn't find anything like OS Installation mode in the BIOS, I'm trying disabling various things and restarting. [10:39] gregorah_: g luck [10:40] Heya People. I have some trouble makeing a post-ubuntu-setup-script for a local school. Can anyone tell me the correct way to add a wireless configuration to a ubuntu 9.04 box? I have found a way edition /etc/networks/interfaces - but is it the right way to go? [10:40] salm0n, very strange .. I used the about:config method with xchat and it works alright .. I wonder if there's something wrong with the irc:// links themselves [10:41] When I go to Places->Connect to Server the only service type available is a custom location ?! Is this a change in 9.04 or somethin is messed up here ? [10:41] salm0n, can you right click on one of those links .. copy link location and paste here [10:41] irc://irc.barafranca.com:6667/cartoon [10:42] mikk4520: /etc/networks/interfaces << can work another possiility is to somehow through gconf (i do not know exactly how) add the configuration to Network Manager [10:42] Hey! Where al the Ubunu Guru's @! [10:42] indus: ugh, it's 6 AM. I'll do this tomorrow. Thanks for helping me out. [10:42] erUSUL, thank you. I will look into it.

[10:45] ok, so if you had the money to throw down, would you get a tops System76 Gazelle Ultra, or a Macbook? Why? [10:45] oh [10:45] finally its figured out [10:45] salm0n, yea, what was it? [10:45] salm0n, unop: It does for me. You want to work with Gnome, not Firefox. :3 [10:45] the links are bad [10:46] salm0n: Even irc://irc.barafranca.com:6667/cartoon ? [10:46] mobi-sheep, sorry but, i want to work with firefox - i don't use gnome [10:46] what do you mean work with gnome? [10:46] !samba [10:46] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[10:47] lots** [10:47] salm0n: ALT + F2 --> Type in "gconf-editor" [10:47] Quick question, any of you guys know how to view the files on a Ubuntu Pc (with a cross over cable) i have ubuntu on my Netbook, but keyboard to small, and i want to rename LOTS of files on my Ubuntu machine [10:47] ok mobi-sheep then what [10:48] salm0n: Navigate to desktop/gnome/url-handlers/irc [10:48] helo i m new to linux [10:48] ThorB: you can use the rename command [10:48] but it's not graphical [10:49] mobi-sheep: ok then? [10:49] salm0n: You see key --> command --> purple-url-handler "%s" ? [10:49] yes [10:50] kujio huh? im a total newb sorry.. i made a cross over cable, i want to connect my crappy Laptop to my Ubuntu Netboook [10:50] salm0n: Change the value string --> command --> /usr/bin/xchat --existing --url="%s" [10:50] and then rename files one by one [10:50] salm0n: Save it. Try it. [10:50] hi. i've been trouble shooting for ages. i tried to install nvidia drivers off there site(which was a bad idea) [10:51] guys.. i want to check my hard disk for sector errors : my warranty is expiring soon and i want to make sure that there is nothing wrong before that: how do i do this? [10:51] will that make it open in xchat gnome [10:51] i have uninstalled drivers installed and it works mostly normlly but any onpengl context is clear [10:51] kujiu huh? im a total newb sorry.. i made a cross over cable, i want to connect my crappy Laptop to my Ubuntu Netboook [10:51] Ziroday: One of our clients are looking to change all 3000 desktop machines to Ubuntu, and are looking for AV on it and thats where we come in... [10:51] salm0n: Regular xchat, not xchat-gnome. [10:51] kujiu u there :( [10:51] ok [10:51] ziroday:Is this a problem with any AV software(Meaning Ubuntu problem) or is it something the AV vendor needs to fix? [10:51] salm0n: But yeah, I assume you're using Gnome. Try it though. [10:52] ThorB: do you have define static ip in network config ? [10:53] evening all. [10:53] is there a better place to trouble shoot? [10:53] Does ubuntu mount NTFS disks/partitions automatically? [10:53] salm0n: Any progress? [10:54] Al__NZ: yes (not at boot when you access them) [10:54] mobi-sheep: ah yes now it works : - ) [10:54] mine mount when i click them [10:54] my ntfs drives [10:54] salm0n: Good. :) [10:54] thanks [10:54] erUSUL: interesting. I was trying to look at a drive in Gnome, but had to manually issue the commands in terminal to get it to mount? [10:55] anyone have a good idea of gfx drivers in ubuntu? [10:55] kujiu, uhm Nope i dont think I did that' [10:55] salm0n: It'll work for xchat because you changed the value that gnome handles -- which firefox will check when it comes to irc url handlers. ;) [10:55] salm0n: Anyway. Have fun cartooning. ;O [10:55] Al__NZ: no idea what may be heppening Works for many people as is... but add cases and bugs happen [10:55] kujiu dont I need some "Samba" thingy/? [10:55] !av | Chaps [10:55] Chaps: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [10:55] erUSUL: yeah the drive is dodgy - that could have something to do with ti [10:55] it [10:56] you must have openssh-server installed [10:56] Al__NZ: could be that it does not get properly identified [10:58] and connect to the other PC in Nautilus (edit the location and enter ssh://your_username@host_ip/) === maxjezy is now known as rainman [10:59] and if I ddrescue that drive, will the resulting file be the same size as the drive, or the same size as the used space? [10:59] erUSUL: We are the local African Sophos distributor, so this is unfortunetely our business (AV)...and need to help this customer... [11:00] Al__NZ: the former; the same size as the drive/partition [11:00] The only other option we have is to change to a different distro [11:00] Chaps: sorry did not read your exact problem [11:01] Chaps, I believe the avast linux version works fine on Ubuntu, but I am not sure, your customer is aware of the differences regarding virus on Linux, right ? [11:02] anyone had any nvidia gfx driver problems? all opengl windows are empty. cant see anything on google [11:03] fuzzy: nope sorry; you installed the correct driver right? [11:05] i got it straight from nvidia(not the best idea) closed xwindow did sudo sh driver. it compiled to kernal then screwed up [11:06] after that i uninstalled it. and reinstalled from ubuntu repos. though i can see now. opengl doesn't work [11:06] i find it seriously amusing to run xp in a vm under linux now.... [11:07] instead of the other way around [11:07] erUSUL: so if I want to ddrescue a small 10g disk to my 100gig disk that my ubunut boots off I so far have : sudo ddrescue -v /dev/sdb /dev/sda - but of course I dont want to write the output file to my working dev/sda/ - do I need to specify a file or dir on sda? [11:07] i've run wine in colinux in win xp. its strngly reliable [11:07] lol [11:07] Al__NZ: NO! [11:08] salm0n: I made notes for myself so I could link on IRC links in Firefox and that'll prompt me to XChat. Do you want it? It's a command. ;o [11:08] the only reason i even use xp in a vm anymore is to watch netflix movies... [11:08] Al__NZ: sudo ddrescue -v /dev/sdb somefile_on_your_good_disk [11:08] erUSUL: and that file must first exist?? [11:09] i'm gonna be using xp a lot more if i can't get ubuntu running again in next 10 min [11:09] lol whats wrong? [11:09] what does that mean mobi-sheep ? === rainman is now known as MaxJesus [11:09] Al__NZ: no; it will be created... i do not have ddrescue installed check its man page for the details [11:09] tried to update my drivers of nvidia website [11:09] screwed everything. uninstalled the drivers and installed the ones from repos [11:09] Al__NZ: if you did sudo ddrescue -v /dev/sdb /dev/sda you will be ruining the good disk... [11:10] now any opengl window is transparent to desktop [11:10] ah i just use the driver manager in administration menu the nvidia drivers have caused me all kinds of grief [11:10] when creating a directory, and i set an owner on the dir with chown, is there a way i can make all new/moved/copied files in that dir keep that same ownership as the parent i set? [11:10] salm0n: It mean next time you reinstall your Ubuntu and you can't remember how you did it. You just run the commands in the terminal and it'll change the value without having to do ALT + F2 and gconf-editor and such. [11:10] on my desktop i still cant get dual monitors to work with my xfx 9600gtx [11:10] Hi all , i got 2xQuestions [11:10] oh ok. yeah, please. [11:10] salm0n: I take notes for myself. What packages to install. What packages to remove. What workarounds and such. I suggest you do the same thing. ;) [11:11] yah. i've found u can't run anything that isn't from the ubuntu repos [11:11] erUSUL: So i could sudo ddrescue -v /dev/sdb /dev/sda/testrescue ? [11:11] first one , how do i disable the list of the last used documents in ubuntu ? [11:11] even new vlc ubuntu will cause greif [11:11] ok thats a good idea [11:11] fuzzy: i dont know about drivers but i got all kinds of programs that arent in the ubuntu repos on my laptop [11:12] ok. i've just had bad experiences with stuff that isn't from the repos [11:12] Al__NZ: no; sudo ddrescue -v /dev/sdb /home/$USER/testrescue.img for example (that will save the image in your home folder with an informative extension) [11:12] fuzzy: Yes you can run anything that's not in repos but that's not recommended as you'll be installing softwares that you don't know if it's trustworthy. Just like XP. [11:12] I remember when one could get away with running something out of the deb repos in ubuntu and be fairly safe [11:12] ohh - i see [11:12] fuzzy: yeah ive been using linux since 97 and i still feel like a complete retard at times... [11:12] Al__NZ: /dev/sd** are espcial files only used for very special operations [11:12] erUSUL: [11:12] right [11:13] well its ok - i already killed my linux box with it :-) [11:13] yes well like when using everything you have to make that judgement. but many things that are trustworthy have issues [11:13] syn-ack: ? [11:13] I hope you can get thru to this guy, hes been in a channel that I op on undernet and we've not be able to get thru to him [11:13] i suppose because repos has to pass test [11:13] my auth.log is full of this message: http://paste.ubuntu.com/198399/ what does it mean? [11:13] that was to you, erUSUL... [11:14] i dunno i dont think anyone can fix it [11:14] hi - i recently did an apt-get upgrade and this came up(ubuntu 9.04) - http://pastebin.com/d3efdac4b Any reason why it would be doing this?

[11:14] any alternative where i can reset to defaults. get rid of wharee is screwed [11:14] fuzzy: yep, the problem with alotta newer hardware is the manufacturers dont support linux becuase it doesnt make financial sense. so they dont invest much into it. and they cant release their specs becuase if they do then the competetors get them and can duplicate and reverse engineer them. [11:14] erUSUL: no, Al__NZ [11:14] syn-ack: ahh; ok [11:15] susbwoy: apt-get dist-upgrade [11:15] that will pull the kernel for you. :D [11:15] how do I search a folder and it's subfolders and files for a certain bit of text? [11:15] fuzzy: so in the end we get hosed. historically nvidia has been pretty good about this though [11:15] salm0n: Save this somewhere --> gconftool -s --type string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/irc/command "/usr/bin/xchat --existing --url=\"%s\"" [11:15] yah. i'm hopin reactos comes along and that project where linux kernal can run windows ones [11:15] Macfuddy: grep -r [11:15] Macfuddy: grep -ir "certain bit of text" folder/ [11:15] any 1 know any good php channel [11:15] oh syn-ack - So it is actually a neat feature not an error :) thanks.

I got some Linux newbies to install ubuntu as i think it's the easiest distro, and for help I said they' [11:25] d go here and ask .. but most of them were very disappointed after asking here ... so I came to see why this was the case [11:25] so your pro ubuntu? [11:25] I'm not using it myself, but i think it's the best beginners distro [11:26] Hi, I have a procmail problem. see http://pastebin.com/f624e200 Spam mails don't end up in the Junk box, they disappear.

It currently fails in many user friendly areas [11:28] Maybe they were not very patient or something like that, but what I read here in the last hours seems .. well ... very unpolite to me [11:28] so you have to explain that to them [11:28] Draglor, ok, so please watch silently :) Unless you need or can provide support ;) [11:28] Threetimes_: try $HOME/Maildir/.Junk [11:28] Draglor: Is there something on topic we could help you with today?

[12:03] Slart: roflmao [12:04] ubuntistas: we can't help you with that sorry [12:04] abdullah: then there is probably instructions inside the package.. or on the page where you downloaded them [12:04] rabten havwe a look at gparted [12:04] how can i convert tar.gz to .deb [12:04] !compile | abdullah [12:04] abdullah: Compiling software from source?

[12:05] remoteCTR1: : i tried booting up from the live cd and using gparted on it [12:05] rabten, the filesystem keeps a free space of 5% for the root user there is a way to change that number [12:05] I want to create a jaunty domU on hardy dom0 xen machine, any idea [12:05] rabten clever thing to do, what went wrong? [12:05] heh [12:05] imc_: ok.. open a terminal and run this.. "gconftool - -recursive-unset /apps/panel " [12:05] abdullah: yeah? [12:05] well, it just seemed to stall [12:05] Slart, doing it. . . === desti_T2 is now known as desti [12:05] ahmed, idea on what precisely? [12:05] Slart, as root or as user? [12:06] imc_: and this next command I want you to be careful with... copy paste it.. but be very careful not to include any extra spaces or such.. ok? rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel [12:06] rabten, stall??? i hope you didnt interrupt gparted in the middle of something?? [12:06] imc_: as regular suser [12:06] remoteCTR1: : i really don't think it was doing anything [12:06] remoteCTR1: yes i interrupted [12:06] Slart ;) can't cut and paste as I am on a different box but I'll be super careful! [12:06] imc_: it's your user settings we want to change.. if you use sudo you will be changing the settings for "root" [12:06] remoteCTR1, I don't know from where to start there is no template in xen-tools like hardy.d or other destro [12:06] Yep, big duh Slart, sorry [12:07] remoteCTR1: you think i should run it again off the live cd and just wait? [12:07] Carefully* trying the next command :) [12:07] rabten, err... stupid question; you have seen that there is an apply button that you have to hit in order to aplly changes in gparted? [12:07] Slart: Still no new kernel, but update-grub sees it, and says it updates menu.lst, but it doesnt :\ http://pastebin.com/d5e1f5d63 [12:07] remoteCTR1: i left it for about half an hour and the progression bar hadn't moved at all [12:07] in ubuntu login screen i cant login as root user [12:07] susbwoy: can you pastebin your menu.lst? [12:07] remoteCTR1: yes? [12:07] masquerade: maybe you should get another burning tool than brasero .... ;) [12:07] SLart, okay I ran both [12:07] abdullah: quite right.. you're not supposed to.. use sudo instead [12:07] Hi I'm trying to install ubuntu on a SATA disk. BIOS detects the drive, but when I reach the partitioning step in the install, the disk is not available. [12:07] No complaints so far... [12:07] !root | abdullah [12:07] abdullah: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [12:07] ahmed, try doing that with the debootstrap method and just fill in the proper values for jaunty in xentools.conf [12:08] imc_: now try restarting gnome-panel [12:08] Righto Slart, trying [12:08] masquerade, I have not had good luck with brasero if you are on gnome try gnomebaker [12:08] remoteCTR1: i applied the changes and nothing happened for half an hour [12:08] rabten :D yes [12:08] coz_: Seems the same to him .. wodim burns correctly, brasero has an error [12:08] imc_: what these commands did was remove all panel settings.. both in the gnome "registry".. and in the config files.. hopefully you'll get a brand new panel [12:08] coz_: i tried burning from the cli and it seems it worked [12:08] Slart: http://pastebin.com/d27383e62 there is my menu.lst [12:09] the progression bar didn't move [12:09] remoteCTR1, I try it but when I start the machine with xen create, it hang up after a while without knowing a reason [12:09] masquerade, ok then yeah If you want a gui based burner try gnomebaker [12:09] Still getting that libglade-WARNING unexpected element inside on applet 11 and still timing out on applet 15 Slart, [12:09] ubottu: i changed the root password from the users and group and i tried to open it [12:09] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:09] remoteCTR1: so you think i should just run it again and go to sleep and see if anything's changed in 10 hours? [12:09] imc_: hmm.. why are the applets still there.. they should be gone by now [12:09] ahmed, have you found any hints in any log files? [12:10] Slart very weird [12:10] remoteCTR1, sorry but no [12:10] imc_: if you start gconf-editor from a terminal and look in apps/panel/applets.. what do you see? [12:10] remoteCTR1: i figured that the lack of disk space was causing gparted's operations to fail [12:10] moment... [12:11] rabten, basically i cannot tell per remote diagnosis what exactly happened but it might also be that 0% free space is to few to get gparted startet... maybe try removing some things from your home dir f.ex by moving it to the other partition or at least empty trash etc [12:11] remoteCTR1, I'm trying ubuntu-vm-builder now hope it's work [12:11] Oh [12:11] okie [12:11] ubottu :thanks it worked [12:11] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:11] thanks [12:11] ahmed, i got no experience on that one, for me the debootstrap vriant allways worked... [12:12] remoteCTR1, did you try jaunty with debootstrap before [12:12] remoteCTR1: i haven't got anything in trash [12:12] SLart, mucho stuff there, but only five directories, 0-4 [12:12] remoteCTR1: i just installed ubuntu yesterday [12:13] remoteCTR1: the only thing i've installed is xchat [12:13] ubottu: what is your email address? [12:13] I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:13] imc_: try "pkill -9 gnome-panel" first.. then try starting it again [12:13] Slart, trying [12:13] ahmed, not specifically jaunty but from hardy to intrepid and even debian etch and lenny everything worked like charms... [12:13] THough I think I've tried that' [12:13] remoteCTR1: i've only 2GB in memory and its all used [12:13] ubottu: what is you email address? [12:13] I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:14] remoteCTR1: i might delete some things and try gparted again [12:14] rabten, ya well that might be a liiittle undersized :D [12:14] susbwoy: hmm.. your menu list only mentions the .11 kernel.. but grub-update found the new .13 kernel.. odd [12:14] rabten, uninstall openoffice [12:14] Slart, so when I do that I get the same libglade-WARNING [12:14] or something like that [12:14] ubottu:!! [12:14] And the same crash at applet 15 [12:14] abdullah, she's a bot [12:14] abdullah, please stop teasing ubottu [12:14] i am also a bot [12:14] remoteCTR1, ok I'd just install a fresh jaunty-64 now I'll try again and update you with the status, thanks for your help [12:15] abdullah, ubottu keeps telling you that it is a ROBOT man, please get the message;) [12:15] abdullah, wrong channel for you then [12:15] imc_: but you didn't have an applet 15 in gconf-editor? [12:15] Slart, I don't see one. [12:15] ahmed, no problem:) [12:15] The applets I see in conf-editor are in directories, titled 0 through 4 [12:16] Slart: I know! very weird. What can i do from here? Is the edit of menu.lst most likely just a rewrite of what's there but different filenames for the kernel? [12:16] imc_: and in apps/panel/default_setup/applets? no applet 15 there either? [12:16] Checking [12:16] Slart: If that's the case, it's not an issue. But im worried about that uuid stuff, no idea what it is. If i can just point to the .28-13 kernel, then change the title, thats fine and dandy [12:17] ubottu: you are a bot and a dog!!!

[12:18] Slart correct [12:18] ubottu you are a bad girl [12:18] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:18] abdullah, stay on topic or you will be removed [12:19] New error: GTK Warning: gtk_widget size allocate attempt to allocate with width -1 and height 24 [12:19] bazhang hoe can you remove me [12:19] abdullah, keep trolling and you will find out [12:20] Slart, i tried removing applets or buttons I had added in case that was the problem; now the applet that crashes is on Applet 9 [12:20] you all are dogs [12:20] imc_: well.. you can reset all your gnome-settings in pretty much the same way you've already done.. but that seems a bit overkill [12:20] Slart, well, as I say it's a new install so there's not much I'll lose [12:21] waht a smacktard... [12:21] i have problem in burning cds or dvds it gave me error before it began the burning process on both k3b and brasero [12:21] imc_: you can try the Edit->Find command to search for "applet_9" perhaps it's somewhere sneaky [12:21] what do people use here to check id a daemon is running and start it when it fails ? I need to check the ps output I think [12:21] imc_: What did you do that left your Ubuntu deformed? [12:21] SLart, trying [12:21] hero1900, so wahts the message? [12:21] MatBoy: what are *you* trying to do? [12:21] mobi-sheep I guess I thought bad thoughts or sumthin [12:21] Slart: Is there a way I can tell update-grub to spit out the new "edits" into another file [12:21] MatBoy: pidof $daemon should help [12:21] i have the log file it is big [12:21] other than menu.lst [12:21] imc_: did you try what I suggested earlier? [12:22] and error has been occurred thats it [12:22] how to send e-mail from command line? [12:22] jrib please repeat it? [12:22] jrib: I have a daemon that crashes from time to time... I need to restart it :) [12:22] susbwoy: not that I know f [12:22] imc_: create a fresh new user and see if gnome works for him [12:22] damn [12:22] hi [12:22] MatBoy: what daemon? [12:22] jrib okay [12:22] hero1900, in that case nopaste it to pastebin.com please and paaste the link to it here [12:22] pkkm: have a look at the man page for "mail" [12:23] MatBoy: I think what you're doing is called a "watchdog".. there has to be a tool for this in the repos.. but yes.. checking ps output might work [12:23] pkkm, you can for example use the sendEmail application for that [12:23] i already put it in ubuntu forum === painted is now known as blah [12:23] jrib: own build one, running using perl [12:23] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7477146#post7477146 [12:23] Slart, so applet 9 finds nothing. 9 finds /system/default/storage/options/iso_9600 and something similar under schemas === blah is now known as painted [12:23] I have a problem with firefox 3. from times to times, when I quit the browser, the window takes a very long time to disappear. this is very annoying [12:23] MatBoy: would make more sense to me to just fix it so it does not crash anymore [12:23] but no one can help i guess [12:23] imc_: you might want to check in that folder we tried clearing out.. .gnome something.. perhaps it's there === painted is now known as blah [12:24] imc_: but I have to go now.. oral exam in 35 minutes =) [12:24] hero1900, we will see, gimme a sec... [12:24] !troll [12:24] trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubotu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel [12:25] ok thanks [12:25] hi all [12:25] Slart thanks for all the help === sean is now known as Guest25388 [12:25] anyone needs help? [12:25] imc_: you're welcome.. sorry we couldn't fix it, perhaps someone else knows more about gnome-panel and its applets [12:26] imc_: I wonder if you ran md5sum before you burn it? [12:26] Slart: err i think I found something. my menu.lst says "Should update-grub adjust the value of the default booted system?" "updatedefaultentry=false" is the default [12:26] MatBoy, using the shell. while true; do invoke_daemon; done [12:26] jrib, new user has all. [12:27] Slart: maybe change that to true? [12:27] Slart, thanks again [12:27] I have a problem with firefox 3. from times to times, when I quit the browser, the window takes a very long time to disappear. this is very annoying [12:27] susbwoy: that sounds promising.. but it should still create a menu choice for it [12:27] unop: This could start very many processes ... wouldn't it be better to check if it's still running first? [12:27] jrib I think it may be that I'm in the netbook remix and I changed to classic ubuntu desktop not this netbook view... [12:27] susbwoy: but give it a try.. remember to run "sudo update-grub" after you change the menu.lst [12:28] imc_: check ~/.xsession-errors [12:28] hero1900, appears to me as if yur brasero doesnt find any cd/dvd/drives at all and thus gets an input/output error [12:28] jrib, checking [12:28] hero1900, are your drives there in nautilus? [12:28] ya [12:28] pioneer [12:28] Slart: I think i know what happened. When i went through the kernel install, i chose keep current version. That action probably changed updatedefaultentry to false. [12:28] Slart: but trying now :) [12:29] jrib I have a festival of errors; I'll cat to a file and paste it somewhere [12:29] hero1900, says BraseroBurnURI no burn:// URI found [12:29] and when i put a black dvd brasero open dialog automaticlly [12:29] Draglor, as long as the command doesn't return .. this construct will run only one instance at a time .. when that instance fails/returns, the loop iterates to run another [12:29] hi all... mozilla didnt work... but I connect XChat... any clue....?? [12:29] I have a problem with firefox 3. from times to times, when I quit the browser, the window takes a very long time to disappear. this is very annoying [12:29] ?? [12:30] hero1900, if you enter a cd/dvd with content into that drive, can you access the data or do you get an error there too? [12:30] unop: yes and if it returns it'll start the next instance and so on [12:30] hi all... mozilla firefox didnt work... but I connect XChat... any clue....?? [12:30] I cant browse... T_T [12:30] petx, firefox sux [12:30] Draglor, most commands/daemons don't return [12:30] jrib: it should actually not crash... I need to see how much it will be restarted [12:30] gribouille, so... what should I use..?? [12:30] hero1900, please write the name of the person you are talking to infront of your statements so one can see that you are talking to one through all the noise in here [12:31] petx, firefox [12:31] ls [12:31] ok [12:31] petx: Make sure you're not operating in Offline Mode. [12:31] remoteCTR1 ok?? [12:31] mobi-sheep, how I know its offline or not...?? [12:31] hero1900, ok :D so do you see the content of cd/dvds? [12:32] Slart: ok still not adding the entry. argh... [12:32] petx: look at the File menu and see if Work Offline is checked [12:32] jrib could you please look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/198460 ? [12:32] remoteCTR1 wait i want to check now [12:32] petx: In Firefox, File --> Work Offline. If it's checked, that's the problem. [12:32] hero1900, kk [12:33] just tried this unop .... (commands "cat $file" and a irc bot "supybot") both are repeated very fast very often ... the bot refuses to start a second time, but it's tried again and again ... until Ctrl-C [12:33] remoteCTR1 it is working fine [12:33] hero1900, going for a smoke, be back in 5 [12:33] th0r, mobi-sheep, it works.... thank u so much... ^^ [12:33] remoteCTR1 good as before [12:33] petx: Wow. Good! :3 [12:33] hero1900, ah ok well lets give it one more shot, have you tryed burning with gnomebaker? [12:33] hehee... sry.... I'm new... [12:33] Draglor, supybot is your perl script? [12:33] no [12:34] remoteCTR1 no [12:34] unop, Draglor , Probably wiser to test for a running instance and then spawn another when it's no longer found. Simple shell script can accomplish that. [12:34] hero1900, give it a shot and start it from commandline so you can paste the output, maybe that one returns something more readable... [12:34] gnomebaker i only tried with k3b and brasero [12:34] unop: i just tried this command, yes [12:34] gnomebaker ok [12:34] hero1900, have a try with gnomebaker then [12:34] how to git install [12:35] gnomebaker ok [12:35] Draglor, did you write supybot ? [12:35] rob_p: That's what I said ;) I just ran this command to show unop that it doesn't do what MatBoy wants [12:35] no unop [12:35] Slart: Problem solved. I ended up deleting menu.lst and let update-grub create a new one for me. That was bloody weird how it couldnt edit it. Thanks for your time [12:35] unop: supybot is a python bot, not a perl one [12:36] how do i install this git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel [12:36] rob_p, that's really what the construct it supposed to be doing .. as long as the command to be run doesn't return until it has finished executing or has failed [12:36] hero1900, so now smoke, be back in 5 [12:36] Draglor, In fact, you could get fancy and create a pidfile and then bounce that against your process list for a match. When the matching pid is no longer found, clear the old pidfile and start again. [12:36] ANY WEMEN [12:36] unop: Normally every command returns, try it yourself using cat/ls/whatever [12:36] jim__, not here [12:37] mobi-sheep, everytime I start the firefox... it set to offline mode... [12:37] ARGHHH [12:37] jim__: good luck with that approach [12:37] !ot > jim__ [12:37] jim__, please see my private message [12:37] petx: You installed Ubuntu recently? [12:37] Draglor, right .. consider the daemon ( a long running process ) the same .. cat/ls/whatever don't run for so long [12:37] try "while true ; do ls ./ ; done" and you'll see it's repeated again and again .. [12:37] I ALLWAYS HAVE MY WIFE [12:37] yups... [12:37] mobi-sheep, yups [12:37] jim__, take chat elsewhere thanks [12:37] Draglor, that is precisely the idea :) [12:38] petx: Okay. Well, I don't know why this is happening but let's do this and see if it resolve your issue... [12:38] unop: but the daemon (like supybot is) returns immediately to the shell (otherwise you could not send another command afterwards) [12:38] SORRY FREAKS [12:38] unop, Some things work ok as you suggested, others don't. If the spawning process returns (as in forking the instance to bg), then it will spawn another, and another, etc. [12:38] time to go, jim__ [12:38] mobi-sheep, ok... [12:38] i've got 2 terminals running + irssi, is it normal that i still have 1Gb of memory in use? jaunty [12:38] FUCK YOU [12:38] bye now [12:38] He wants to have a daemon started if it doesn't run anymore .. so he just has to check for the process (maybe pidof ..) before starting it [12:39] like in if [ "`pidof $daemon`" == "" ] ; then $daemon ;fi [12:39] Draglor, while true; do pidof supybot || supybot; sleep $X; done [12:39] petx: cd ~ && mv .mozilla .mozilla-backup [12:39] Draglor, if pidof $daemon; ... [12:39] petx: Close the firefox. Run the command in the terminal. Try Firefox again. [12:39] yes .. would be shorter ;) [12:40] I don't like "while true ..." .... it's easy to mess up with it [12:40] Hi Folk, Does anybody know any Linux program for economy/accounting? I am running ubuntu 9.04 [12:40] gnucash [12:40] Draglor, how so? [12:40] Draglor, and what would you use instead? [12:41] petx: check these urls also....http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/susenovell-60/updated-network-manager-now-firefox-stuck-in-offline-mode-472478/ and https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+question/31925 [12:41] gnucash i for personal economy.. I meant something toward small business [12:41] cron [12:41] Draglor, hmm, now that's overkill [12:41] mobi-sheep, hmm.. I'm going there... [12:41] a script running the whole time is less overkill than a script ran by cron? [12:41] well .. I have another opinion about that [12:42] Draglor, a script has finer granularity (less than one minute) than cron [12:42] Draglor: well, unop's script sleeps most of the time, it's hardly running constantly. is cron's one-minute resolution sufficient for your purposes? [12:42] I don't have need for it myself ViperMax but their site does say "Small business accounting" maybe it's worth another look [12:42] Draglor, I [12:42] unop: I know ... but normally you don't want to check for a daemon more than once a minute [12:42] Draglor, I'm with unop on this one. [12:43] I will aethelrick-- tnx [12:43] is there an easier way to get bluetooth phone tethering working without installing blueman, i don't regret my choice to install blueman but I would have thought there was an easy way.... [12:43] Draglor, normally? what is normal? [12:43] sipior, rob_p, unop: It wasn't me asking that question. ;) I [12:44] Draglor, but i tell you what isn't normal .. supybot forking into the background :) [12:44] unop: supybot should not fork? [12:44] should it run in fg? why? [12:45] My mother managed to pull the power on my server during a thunderstorm even though I have UPS. I told her to put it back in and turn the computer back on, however the ssh deamon does not seem to start. Do I need to log in to my user account in GDM to get it to start? Never experienced that before. [12:45] Draglor, to allow something like this to run as intended. while true; do supybot; done [12:45] jrib just checking that you saw/care that pastebin link I left? [12:45] unop: this is not intended [12:45] I'd like to ask for help: I have over a hundred small text files and would like to put them all in one file but need to put an empty line between them in this file, anybody knows what I could use for that? I joined them all by: cat *.txt > file.txt [12:45] just try it using any daemon you want [12:45] imc_: no sorry (walking out the door) [12:45] kk, thanks [12:45] supybot is a daemon .. every daemons forks into bg .. thats what a daemon does [12:46] aleksander, { for i in *.txt; do cat "$i"; echo; done } > yourbigfile [12:46] thanks unop [12:46] aleksander, sorry, missed a semicolon. { for i in *.txt; do cat "$i"; echo; done; } > yourbigfile [12:46] remoteCTR1: i get an error message when i open up Synaptic [12:46] I'll try it in a sec [12:47] aleksander: Better make a backup too. [12:47] Err... Nevermind. No damages being done. [12:47] Again. Do I need to log into GDM to get sshd to start? [12:47] mobi-sheep, this doesn't clobber the originals .. [12:47] unop: Yeah.

[13:09] hero1900, i dont even get to see that option, how do you open that iso for burning? [13:09] hero1900, it is something that has to do with the filesystem but dont ask me any further fo i dunno;) [13:10] (yes, I know, I could dump out the raw filesystem onto another drive and re-encrypt it, i'd rather avoid that if possible.) [13:10] remoteCTR1 i only try it on data dvd [13:10] q. How can i install another language in open office ? [13:10] like i got english and would like to get french [13:10] remoteCTR1 but i will try to see if this option in image [13:11] Brdman: What are you trying to do? Are you trying to find a windows share folder, or share one of Ubuntu's folders? [13:11] no, just connet to a workgroup [13:12] hero1900, ah, ok, but if you wantr to burn an iso that is the wrong option anyways, you need to go to tools and then click on burn iso [13:12] hero1900, otherwise that disk wont boot [13:12] eg in windows i can add my lappy to a workgroup and bang i can use the net and network [13:12] remoteCTR1, I says An error occurred while applying the operation. When I look at the details I see "the device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly? [13:13] remoteCTR1 ya i know now i have solved the problem for data dvds but still have problem for images [13:13] Brdman: Well, I don't see why you need to be in a workgroup unless you need to either find a shared folder (and you don't have to be in a workgroup for that if I remember right) or set up a windows share on your Ubuntu machine. [13:13] remoteCTR1 i cannot see that option and i still have the problem [13:13] Brdman: You don't need any "workgroups" - usually just connecting the cable is enough (and sometimes, setting the IP address). [13:13] remoteCTR1, But the first logical partition always works, this happens with the rest.. [13:14] how do i do that [13:14] foot, that is really weird, what says google? [13:14] what i did was already connected the cable [13:14] Brdman: Are you connected to the internet on your Ubuntu machine? [13:14] which is why in asking questions here [13:14] no [13:14] hello [13:14] hi guys, does anyone know what will happen if i accidentally assigned the same ip address on two different computers on a network? [13:14] this is my xp [13:14] comp [13:14] remoteCTR1, I cant find anything on google, what should I look for? [13:14] Brdman: So you're trying to connect to the internet with your ubuntu machine. That's your problem, yes? [13:14] yes [13:15] foot, best enter the precise error message [13:15] i'm trying to configure postfix to work with gmail, i use the tutorial from http://prantran.blogspot.com/2007/01/getting-postfix-to-work-on-ubuntu-with.html and i encountered a problem that after a postfix restart i get the error message "postfix: fatal: config variable inet_interfaces: host not found: all". any ideas where it comes from ? my inet_interfaces is set to all and i have eth0 up and running so it shouldn't be a problem [13:15] Brdman: How are you connecting to the internet? [13:15] Im on irc via my windows xp computer desktop, my problem is with the ubuntu laptop [13:15] zuluu: there will be some confusion :-) if it's a switched network, you may find that one of the machines behaves almost normally, and the other gets little traffic at all. and then you'll start noticing weird timeouts and login failures...best to avoid the situation, really. [13:16] only have 1 lan cable [13:16] Brdman: I understand that, I'm asking what your internet connection to your ubuntu machine is.... Wireless, Ethernet,.... [13:17] sipior, thanks, i accidentally assigned the same ip to 2 dif pcs and from then forward i could no longer connect them to this machine... [13:17] it has ethernet and wireless [13:17] Hey does anyone know why Gyachi won't connect to yahoo? [13:17] ufk, maybe this can help: http://www.mail-archive.com/newbie@linux-mandrake.com/msg108583.html [13:17] but the wireless button on my machine isnt working the wy it did in xp yesterday [13:17] Brdman: These may be of help too: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/internet/C/connect-to-internet.html https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/internet/C/connect.html [13:17] brb gonna read it [13:18] have to dc for now, il be back [13:18] remoteCTR1: i'll read, thanks [13:18] ufk, np [13:18] Brdman: Are you trying to connect to your network with an ethernet cord, or wirelessly? [13:18] cord [13:18] zuluu: if you're maintaining a number of machines, consider using a central dhcp server, to prevent this sort of collision from occurring in future. [13:19] ufk, if not, google returns quite some hits for that error message [13:19] it keeps on going back and forth from connected to disconnected and then tells me the connections timed out? [13:19] remoteCTR1: i know.. i already checked it for the last hour, i already found the site that you provided but i didn't went through all the posts.. i'll do that now === parth is now known as Guest16582 [13:20] hi guys.. my vps slice was hacked and I have a /sbin/ttyload backdoor... however it wont let me rm it. what's going on [13:20] is there anyone here who has a driver for Canon PIXMA iP1800 ? [13:20] sipior, i have 4 pcs, 3 ubuntu and 1 xp - this pc is the gateway (it has 3 NICs). i am trying ip masquerading, samba and succeeded at the beginning but somewhere along the way, borked the configuration and now i dont know where the problem is coming from. only 2 computers can connect to the internet atm. This one and an ubuntu pc connected via crossover. [13:20] lol what, i thought linux was unhakable, more secure than windows? [13:20] eg as all the claims [13:20] can anyone please help? (dumb in Maryland) [13:21] Brdman, not if you invite somebody in... [13:21] sylvanus_: yes [13:21] !ask | sylvanus_ [13:21] sylvanus_: 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. :-) [13:21] is there a slick way to rename my username? [13:21] Does somebody know why fetchmailconf doesn't work by default [13:21] well then that makes it the same as windows because you only get a virus if you let somebody in [13:21] brb [13:21] Brdman, definitely disagree on that... [13:22] I just downloaded Gyachi so I can use my Webcam in chat and it won't connect to yahoo [13:22] !gyachi [13:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about gyachi [13:22] !yahoo [13:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about yahoo [13:22] bah [13:22] sylvanus_: have you set username password server settings correct? === Sonderbla is now known as Sonderblade === hello is now known as Guest28312 [13:23] yes I have [13:23] sipior, I'm confused... [13:24] zuluu: well, sort out your ip collision problem first. then make sure your nat table is configured to relay packets on all of the interfaces you forwarded to the outside. [13:24] petx: regarding what? [13:24] I can connect with pidgin but not Gyachi? [13:24] sylvanus_: I can't get to yahoo ether [13:24] sipior, using the colon... [13:24] sylvanus_: right now [13:24] sipior, forwarding is right now the least of my problems. i cant even ping the 2 other pcs now. [13:24] sylvanus_: gyachi is specifically for yahoo so i dont know why it wont connect [13:25] Does anyone here have experience with Ubuntu on Macbook Pro ? [13:25] wow so it's not just me huh? [13:25] sylvanus_: is this today's issue then? [13:25] zuluu: right, get those interface addresses fixed :-) [13:25] I guess [13:25] sylvanus_: I can't get on pidgin which is strange.... [13:25] petx: how are you attempting to set the aliased ip address? [13:26] sipior, they are already set to different ips. [13:26] hold on brb [13:26] I'm kinda new to all this. I can connect with pidgin but i can't use cam with it [13:26] sylvanus_: use skype :) [13:26] sylvanus_: I don't think pidgin supports video chat. [13:26] indus: Yecch [13:26] Joeseph: It doesn't. [13:27] ok looks like I can get to yahoo now :) [13:27] grawity: whats yecch? [13:27] sylvanus_: try now [13:27] ok brb [13:27] sylvanus_: maybe wasa server issue [13:27] sipior, I dont know about aliased ip address... maybe I understand... I want to set my IP to different subnet... one 255.255.0.0... and another 255.255.255.0 [13:27] indus: An expression with a meaning similar to "Yuck" or "eww". [13:27] grawity: why? [13:27] ok well somebody is using my nick but anyway [13:28] sylvanus_: Pidgin doesn't support webcams, and Pidgin seems to have problems with Yahoo IM - /join #pidgin [13:28] i tried both links and neither helped [13:28] Brdman2: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_computer_viruses just so you know [13:28] petx: well, those are netmasks, not subnets exactly. [13:28] Brdman2: You yourself are using that kick [13:28] *nick [13:28] grawity:pidgin has no problems with yahoo, i have used it for 3 years without issues [13:28] sipior, ups... sry... [13:28] well my irc doesnt like me dcing the cable [13:28] Open System ? Administration ? Networking. [13:28] sipior, I meant netmask... [13:28] indus: See the topic of #pidgin - "Yahoo may be having problems" [13:28] grawity: if u are behind a nat then that could give issues [13:28] petx: perhaps you can explain what your current configuration is, and then mention what you want to change? === c is now known as charitwo [13:28] it says system> admin> networking, well i cant see networking but only network onnectios [13:29] grawity: its FUD [13:29] Brdman2: Sorry, I've forgotten.... are you trying to do wireless or ethernet? [13:29] sipior, ok... I'll explain my config. [13:29] grawity: msn might as they keep changing things all the time [13:29] ethernet [13:29] this is so much harder than i expected [13:30] anyone recommend an app that I can run two compare files and eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwany know of an application that would let me compare file systems on two different machines that would include permissions so I can see if there is anything different between the two? [13:30] Brdman2: What are you plugging it into? I've always just plugged my ethernet in and went. [13:30] hello [13:30] @search James Scaife [13:30] (search ) -- Searches for in the current configuration variables. [13:30] oops sorry for the extra stuff [13:30] eoch: that was fun [13:30] alright, lan cable into the slot, [13:30] ... [13:30] sipior, my IP is 192.168.2.250, netmask 255.255.255.0... it's my ISP network... [13:30] it won't connect still! could it be that I have to enter the proxy server? or does it use it by default ? [13:30] sylvanus_: are you behind a NAT? [13:30] Quick Question, i have three HDD's in one computer, can i have a separate version of linux installed on each say Ubuntu on one, Fedora on another and Mandriva on the third?? [13:30] what is a nat? [13:30] ubuntu is great [13:30] sylvanus_: use auto proxy detection [13:31] sipior, then I want to add the IP on netmask 255.255.0.0... It's another network... [13:31] ok let me try again [13:31] sylvanus_: i mean are you behind some proxy? [13:32] Brdman2: Yes, System -> Preferences -> Network connections | should be where you want to look at. I might not be able to help, but I'll take a look if you post the output of the command iwconfig to pastebin. [13:32] agaig, im pro at windows, total noob at ubuntu [13:32] I not really sure what a proxy is and how to find that out? [13:32] again< [13:33] if your helping me, pm me instead, much easier to read [13:33] sylvanus_: what kind of internet connection do u have [13:33] petx: why not just use another /24 network? this is a home network, i presume? [13:33] Brdman2: I don't want to pm. If you want help, you'll stay in here. Besides, other people can help here. [13:33] petx: you can just try something like: "sudo ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" [13:33] me brdman? [13:34] Cable internet through broadstripe [13:34] sylvanus_: if ithe user wants to address you he will use your name like iam using [13:34] petx: also make sure that an appropriate entry for the second subnet can be found in your routing table (/sbin/route -n) [13:34] ok [13:34] just type whom you want to address and press tab to auto complete [13:34] but its hard to keep track of every question, im trying to borwse the net for similar problems and i have to stare at the screen to see whos talking to me [13:34] sipior, hmm... one is my ISP network... another is my campus network... so we use different networks... [13:35] sylvanus_: hmm not sure what type that is [13:35] Brdman2: Doesn't your client hilight messages that start with your nick? (Like this.) [13:35] sylvanus_: but its ok, anyways i havent used gyachi so iam not sure how to solve your problem [13:35] petx: i see. then i assume you're using dhcp to get an address on the campus network? you can try dhclient eth0:0. [13:35] I feel so stupid [13:35] sylvanus_: why? [13:35] it says omebody is talking to me but it doesnt highlight anything, all writing looks the same [13:36] petx: although in this case, how are you connected to each network? are you sure you need an aliased interface? [13:36] sipior, yups [13:36] because I can't get things to work [13:37] sylvanus_: wait [13:37] all i wanted to do was stay up and brose youtube in bed, now im gonna stay up all night figuring out how ubuntu works [13:37] Brdman2: Your IRC client aside for now (use something else maybe...) I won't be able to help unless you post the output of iwconfig to pastebin. I reccomend using a flashdrive to get it from your ubuntu machine, since it's not connected. [13:37] sylvanus_: what is the yahoo server in connection settings [13:37] Any Opera users here? [13:37] and how do i even iwconfig, its not like in windows [13:37] hold on gotta open it back up [13:38] sipior, I need the 255.255.255.0 to connect to internet... and 255.255.0.0 to my network... I hope u understand what I said... T_T [13:38] sipior, sry my English is so bad... [13:38] sylvanus_: i suggest you use kopete messenger, will let you voice /video chat with yahoo [13:39] How about Google Gears? Any google gears users? [13:39] Brdman2: Go to Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal . Type 'iwconfig' at the prompt. Copy and paste that into a text file. (you can use gedit at the terminal to bring up a program to do so.) put that on your flashdrive, and post it to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/ Then give me the link. [13:39] Can you multiboot linux Versions using three different HDD's? and three different versions of Linux? [13:39] it says proxy port 80 [13:39] How do I force my CPU to use 2.5GHz instead of 800MHz (powersave)? [13:39] wtf i change to ethernet and it automatically goes bak to loopback interface [13:40] ok thats for the adivce but i want to sleep [13:40] dont have time to backwards engineer ubuntu just to use the internet [13:40] sipior, hmm... emergency call... w8 a moment... ^^ [13:40] thanks for your time [13:40] brdman2:wait [13:40] oops [13:40] :( [13:40] tdn: select the "performance" setting in CPU frequency applet [13:41] indus: He was complaining a lot anyway............ [13:41] o_o. I installed ubuntu netbook remix (or well, the netbook remix part through apt-get) [13:41] hi ... i m using ubuntu 9.04 ... i have wired ethernet connection on my laptop .. i need to share this connection and use internet on my ipod touc [13:41] but I can't get it to stop launching on Xfce [13:41] Joeseph: thats ok it can be annoying initially to see all things diff [13:41] it won't launch on Gnome though [13:41] :S [13:41] i have wirelesss card on my laptop [13:41] Joeseph: i remember i too was pi**ed in the beginning [13:42] please help [13:42] indus: Yes. I agree. Gotta be nice to the new people, or else they won't come back....... [13:42] Joeseph: ya :) [13:42] Anyone got any idea why I can't remove the netbook remix? o_O [13:42] ok i got to have a cigarette [13:42] hi ... i m using ubuntu 9.04 ... i have wired ethernet connection on my laptop .. i need to share this connection and use internet on my ipod touch ..... i have wireless card on the laptop [13:42] Hey guys. Theres a Google Code issue thread I'm trying to raise attention for. If you guys would star it. That would be really awesome of you. http://code.google.com/p/gears/issues/detail?id=15&q=opera&colspec=Version%20Milestone%20Owner%20ID%20Summary%20Component [13:42] 10 min [13:43] ...okay [13:43] !internet [13:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about internet [13:43] Thanks [13:43] !multiboot [13:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about multiboot [13:43] A simple "No" would have gone a long way. [13:43] >.< darn it [13:43] hi ... i m using ubuntu 9.04 ... i have wired ethernet connection on my laptop .. i need to share this connection and use internet on my ipod touch ..... i have wireless card on the laptop [13:43] !info | internetsharing [13:43] internetsharing: Retrieve information on a package: !info [13:43] 'internetsharing' is not a valid distribution: dapper, dapper-backports, hardy, hardy-backports, intrepid, intrepid-backports, jaunty, jaunty-backports, karmic, karmic-backports, kubuntu-backports, kubuntu-experimental, kubuntu-updates, medibuntu, partner [13:43] Ubuntu users are the best :) [13:44] !dualboot | tunnlrat [13:44] tunnlrat: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [13:44] natthu: hi [13:44] oooo seet ty ty [13:44] hi [13:44] hrmm [13:44] I don't know that those will hold what i am looking for lol [13:44] I want to dual boot different versions of linux [13:44] indus : can you help me ? [13:45] hi there [13:45] in kdevelop when ever I run a project a konsole popups...how can it be stopped ? [13:45] no one has any idea how I can remove netbook remix, or at least prevent the netbook remix specific parts from launching? [13:46] tunnlrat: That gets a bit complicated. The easiest way to do it (Though I haven't done it myself) is to have 2 versions of grub, each on the MBR of seperate drives, and chainload into the secondary one from the primary one. [13:46] Are-: it's best to wait ten minutes or so before asking your question again. you should give folks time to read and think about your question, make sure the solution is correct &cet. [13:46] how can i chage the grub splash screem? [13:46] freeanshu : use startup-manager [13:47] indus : u still thr ? [13:47] hi ... i m using ubuntu 9.04 ... i have wired ethernet connection on my laptop .. i need to share this connection and use internet on my ipod touch ..... i have wireless card on the laptop [13:47] the GRUB menu [13:47] Since the last update I made, in nautilus, when I try to open windows network I get after some delay: "Failed to retrieve share list from server".

[13:47] Joeseph: interesting i will let you know how it goes then, I am running Ubuntu atm but i'd like to see how Mandriva works and may try Opensuse or Debian as well, had nothing but problems with Fedora [13:48] hi ... i m using ubuntu 9.04 ... i have wired ethernet connection on my laptop .. i need to share this connection and use internet on my ipod touch ..... i have wireless card on the laptop [13:48] hi ... i m using ubuntu 9.04 ... i have wired ethernet connection on my laptop .. i need to share this connection and use internet on my ipod touch ..... i have wireless card on the laptop [13:48] Are-: when people do that, my first instinct is to ignore them. perhaps that's why everyone is ignoring you? or do you normally find that displaying poor manners gets you better service? (and from volunteers, no less) [13:48] can anyone help ? === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [13:49] hi ... i m using ubuntu 9.04 ... i have wired ethernet connection on my laptop .. i need to share this connection and use internet on my ipod touch ..... i have wireless card on the laptop [13:49] Are-, insert livecd, reinstall. that will clean it up for you. [13:49] hwilde: Insert the livecd where exactly? Its a netbook ;) [13:49] hello [13:49] im having some net speed issues in jaunty [13:49] I could try to reinstall though, but I was hoping to find a different way :/ [13:50] i've been reading stuff on the ubuntu forums and I've tried editing nsswitch.conf file and resolv.conf file but the issue still seems to persist [13:50] tunnlrat: Yeah, I tried Fedora too. Well, it's on my slave HD, but I've booted it up like.... once..... Good luck with the dualboot though. What I ended up doing was just copying the slave OS's menu.lst line and adding it to the bottom of Ubuntu's men.lst. That way, I could just copy and paste again when the Slave OS updated. [13:50] any ideas? [13:50] v [13:50] hi ... i m using ubuntu 9.04 ... i have wired ethernet connection on my laptop .. i need to share this connection and use internet on my ipod touch ..... i have wireless card on the laptop [13:51] Are-, you could've reinstalled already in the time you've wasted here. [13:51] natthu: Please stop asking so often.... What do you mean by sharing your wireless? [13:51] joeseph : i want to access internet from my ipod .... internet which is connected to the laptop thru wired ethernet [13:52] srry btw [13:52] Joeseph: Alright i'll have to keep that in mind, I may just try run the others from live-cd and see how they run, at this point i have made a full switch from windows xp and vista and only run ubuntu, i am very impressed with it [13:52] reinstalling will take ages to get everything the way it was. [13:52] which package contains smbfind? [13:52] I have Kopete now thanks peeps! [13:52] natthu: You don't have wireless router? [13:52] nope [13:53] i have a dlink router [13:53] natthu: Nah, that's fine... Umm.... I personally didn't know you could even do that. I thought you would need a router of some sort. Search google while others are thinking. [13:53] i have googled and tried a lot of things [13:53] i tried setting up ad hoc network [13:53] natthu: I don't use iPod myself but I know they do have Wifi which is often used for Internet. If you don't have wireless router, how would your iPod connect to Internet? [13:54] natthu: What kind of iPod? iPod touch? [13:54] I miss my 3rd gen iPod... damn guy stole it at gunpoint! [13:54] * Hodapp shakes fist @ ghetto [13:54] mobi-sheep : i can use the wireless card in laptop for that [13:54] itouch .. yeah [13:54] i did it in xp [13:54] i hate windows though :( [13:55] natthu: sounds like your comming from a windows persepective on that problem, letting one computer allow others to connect through it to the internet, you'd have to make sure in linux your sharing your internet connection [13:55] natthu: and i am not sure how to do that in linux yet [13:55] ihmmm [13:55] In essence Natthu is trying to use his laptop as a router [13:55] rite [13:55] hmm, ima try to remove xfce and install it again, as its gone in gnome currently. [13:55] I've done this before in Linux but I have never figured out how to easily do it [13:55] !inetsharing [13:55] If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [13:55] hehe [13:56] ahhh there you go [13:56] i ubottu : thnx i ll try that [13:56] windows has to many wizards that do all the work for you lol, linux is not yet so ummm user friendly yet? [13:56] linux = a thinkers OS [13:56] ya internet con sharing is a pain isnt it [13:57] tunnlrat, wizards have tunnel vision! [13:57] haha [13:57] i have been using linux for the last 3 years now ... i am a fairly well knowing guy ... [13:57] anyways a GUI is under development [13:57] natthu: I didn't even know you could do that with a wireless card.... Now I'm gonna have to figure out how to do it myself! [13:57] :) [13:57] natthu: try gufw [13:58] !gufw [13:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about gufw [13:58] ufw [13:58] !ufw [13:58] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [13:58] indus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:58] natthu: have you looked at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/ShareEthernetConnectionThroughWireless [13:58] FloodBot1: sorry [13:58] :P [13:58] I prefer firestarter myself. That's what I used, if I remember correctly. [13:58] I've done what hes talking about in windows before i even ran a windows box at one point cause i was afraid to run linux, I always tried Fedora-core and Red-hat they stopped me from comming to linux, but unbuntu made me switch 100% [13:58] bigjb : [13:58] thnx [13:58] let me try a few things [13:58] Joeseph: firestarter is not under development i heard ,unsafe due to various bugs [13:59] natthu: just make sure if your using internet sharring through your wifi card you protect it like you would with a router [13:59] indus: Eh. Unsafe..... I prefer to live on the dangerous side of life anyway. :) [13:59] Joeseph: but ya i heard you can share conection easy using it [13:59] Joeseph: i mean gufw is the replacement now officially in ubuntu [13:59] indus: I'll have to take a look [13:59] just like that crappy empathy will be in karmic === mike is now known as Guest68255 [14:00] anyways i gtg now [14:00] bye all [14:00] thnx indus [14:00] seeya Indus [14:01] seeeyaa or maybe ill stay and solve one more problem :D === Guest68255 is now known as Mike-30o0 [14:01] lol [14:01] or create a new one :P [14:01] I got Kopete and it just says connecting?

[15:03] hello [15:04] sedontane: what ? bootloader? how did you get there [15:04] typed that command [15:04] Qu4R0w, actually i only have 173 and 180 available.. maybe 177 was buggy? [15:04] sedontane: boot loader is the menu you get when you first start the system [15:04] Anyone who can help me with grub? - I have windows installed on my main HD.. Now ive found a old hardisk wich i installed ubuntu on [15:04] oh ok [15:05] buch_: yes [15:05] well after that just before it normally gives me my login window [15:05] sedontane: killing x just kills the display and gets you to a console (black screen) [15:05] I need a wireless applet except nm-applet to monitor the quality of my AP, any suggestions please? [15:05] 180 is not stable i think..good now is 177 or any1 can doubt it with reason? [15:05] sedontane: what exactly do you want to do [15:05] I dont have a prompt unfortunately [15:05] Qu4R0w: i suggest use 173 [15:05] indus: I want to install the graphics drivers [15:05] a user forgot her jaunty password, any ideas how to reclaim her OS? [15:05] !password | bluepencil [15:05] bluepencil: Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords [15:05] sedontane: how are you installing them [15:06] Qu4R0w, actually 180 is stable now... but yeah revert to 173 if you're having issues with both 177 and 180 [15:06] gnuyoga: Right now i change boot via bios - i tried to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [15:06] Anyone got a second for a couple of noob q's? [15:06] I can use nm-applet too but I dont know how to configure it to worls without NetworkManager [15:06] FiReSTaRT: hello [15:06] *works [15:06] y 173 n not 177? [15:06] indus: hello? [15:06] Qu4R0w: well its upto you [15:06] Thank you! [15:06] FiReSTaRT: just sain hi [15:06] the tool for installing third party graphically wouldnt work so im attempting to install them myself [15:06] buch_: r u in booted to linux now ? [15:06] #ubuntu-fr [15:07] sedontane: which tool ? [15:07] gnuyoga: yes i am [15:07] Qu4R0w, because you mentioned that you were experiencing other issues that you traced to the 177 driver\ [15:07] indus: right back at ya :) [15:07] I need a wireless applet except nm-applet to monitor the quality of my AP, any suggestions please? [15:07] gnuyoga: and i have sudo menu.lst [15:07] buch_: run fdisk -l [15:07] I can use nm-applet too but I dont know how to configure it to works without NetworkManager [15:07] why won't ubuntu live boot? [15:07] brb 10 min [15:07] please help [15:07] indus: the one provided by ubuntu through the system menu [15:08] owh..but the problem is always be when i try to open firefox actually [15:08] gnuyoga: nothing happens [15:08] sudo fdisk -l [15:08] and past the result in pastebin.com [15:08] sedontane, yeah jockey hangs from time to time.. i'd let it work for about 10-15 min and then cancel and shut it down.. that should be plenty of time for it to install the driver :) [15:09] ctmjr advice did not work for me...can anyone please tell me how can i find out the best values of refresh rate, dot clock frequency etc. for my 13.3 monitor ? Its a toshiba lap, and i did't find out anything about in manuals. I need these values to place by hand in xorg.conf since the system is not maintaining my confs. [15:09] Qu4R0w, another reason is that people have been having fewer issues with 173 than 177... the major driver updates have mostly been in an effort to fix the suspend issue.. the rest should be about the same [15:09] gnuyoga: hah ofc - well then it shows me details about my two HD's [15:09] my_giaty@yahoo.com [15:10] doods [15:10] Any1 have an easy fix for no sound in java? [15:10] my sound stopped workinh [15:10] buch_: select the result and paste it in pastebin.com [15:10] like alltogether [15:10] how does one go about adding packages to ubuntu for apt-get install? [15:10] is there an easy way to clone a drive (sd-card) so that i can boot from it from another pc? [15:11] lol, I try to make steam work, but when ive updated steam i cant start it ;s [15:11] synthetiq, sudo apt-get install packagename [15:11] no [15:11] he means how to add the repository [15:11] FiReSTaRT: it doesnt hanfg [15:11] i want to add packages to the repo [15:11] it just refuses to install it [15:12] gnuyoga: done [15:12] synthetiq: you can not add a package to a ubuntu-repository, you mean how to add another repo? [15:12] yah..i reboot coz of nvidia glx 180 :( === zer0 is now known as Guest37318 [15:12] buch_: this one right http://pastebin.com/m3234948a === Guest37318 is now known as Qu4R0w [15:12] no i want to know how to add to the repo [15:12] im a developer [15:12] synthetiq, system, administration, software sources, third-party software tab, add button [15:12] do i nid remove my 180? [15:12] gnuyoga: yes indeed [15:12] synthetiq, you can become a maintainer [15:13] <_ruben> synthetiq: #ubuntu-motu would be a good place to start [15:13] how to use nvidia glx 173??do i nid to remove glx 180? [15:14] Qu4R0w, yes.. remove 180, reboot, install 173, reboot.. just make sure that it's available first before removing 180 :P [15:14] hi there [15:14] what u mean by available? [15:14] buch_: http://www.aboutdebian.com/dualboot.htm and see the section "Two Hard-Drive Setup" [15:15] gnuyoga: my first HD with window have two partitions - and my linux should have one (without the swap partition) [15:15] when you open jockey (the hardware drivers applet), it should give you a list of available drivers.. like in my case nvidia 180, nvidia 173 and broadcom sta [15:15] people i need helps on getting my sound to work :) [15:15] like it just wont work [15:15] any guy around for help please ? [15:15] i mean like.. i play music and no sound... [15:15] u get it :P [15:15] Qu4R0w, the ones that are activated have a green circle next to them :) [15:15] gnuyoga: thanks ill try [15:15] kam00zy: which version of ubuntu ? [15:15] just 2 simple questions [15:15] jaunty [15:15] buch_: ping me if u have any problem [15:15] kam00zy: Are your speakers plugged in? Have to ask..... [15:16] yes n i can see 180=activated n 173 not activate..177 is not there [15:16] FiReSTaRT: my jockey only has one driver in it [15:16] yes yes yes [15:16] im running mirc on crossover right now [15:16] and for the first time in a week i got beeping to work [15:16] it made me happy [15:16] first of all, im chatting via irssi, and when i log in at any server at first connection, i log on under a certain username, and i wanna change it [15:16] Qu4R0w, in that case remove 180 first, reboot, install 173, reboot again [15:16] ok,i try with 173 [15:16] glaceman, use the irc command /nick whateveryouwantyournewnicktobe [15:16] glaceman: want to change the username? [15:17] or the name in irssi? [15:17] nobody gonna help me? :( [15:17] im musicless [15:17] yeah [15:17] * kam00zy cries [15:17] like it's a default username that get automatically when i log in : Mike (my name) [15:17] /nick myNewUsernameInIrc [15:17] !sound [15:17] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [15:17] i know how to change it via /nick enternickname [15:18] kam00zy:: someone will reply if they have ur answer [15:18] but i wanna change the default one [15:18] i was wondering about restricted drivers..do i need them? [15:18] glaceman, you may wanna go to the package-specific support channel.. /join #irssi [15:19] ok [15:19] Getting sound to 'work' can often be trivial (your mixer is set to mute), or very hard (you may need to upgrade your alsa) [15:19] another question then [15:19] anybody uses utube ripper ? [15:19] glaceman: not sure if it's a lanquage barrier or something, but I'm having really hard time understanding you. [15:19] FiReSTaRT: gave me a tip about downloading and installing ffmpeg, wish was necessary for program functions, but now , when i click on a file to convert to audio, it convert automatically, with a 0b size, wish is not readable by media player [15:20] musicpenguin, in some cases yes... for most of the work that i do, the open graphics drivers are fine.. but for something more intensive like google earth, you need the propriatary drivers in most cases.. also wireless networking won't work for some people (myself included) without the broadcom propriatary driver [15:20] Hi there I've got a 8.04 LTS machine on a dial-up connection. I've gotten all the .deb packages to upgrade it on a USB key. How do I install them, other than typing 121 times dpkg -i .deb ? [15:20] glaceman: add some config in .irssi/config [15:20] what app can I use to convet dvd 9 to 5? [15:20] kam00zy: am here to help you ;-) [15:20] pbn: dpkg accepts wildcards :) dpkg -i *.deb (but that may or may not work) [15:20] ok LiHong [15:20] LiHong: Please don't suggest to modify the config file by hand. [15:20] well seriously i think i wont [15:20] im newbie [15:21] kam00zy: follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [15:21] this is the weirdest damn thing with apache2 not starting up at boot, but it starts perfectly by run after the fact if you run the standard /etc/init.d/apache2 start [15:21] Dr_Willis: thank you but I doubt it would work.... [15:21] 2nd day on ubuntu now, just migrated from microsoft products [15:21] any ideas? [15:21] I edit my irssi configs all the time. :) [15:21] :P lol [15:21] glaceman: ok. so /nick your nick name and /save [15:21] !irssi [15:21] Irssi is a terminal based IRC client. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Irssi for help. See also !screen [15:21] Dr_Willis: The irssi devs really don't want you to eb doing that. [15:21] I'd installed glade 3.6.5 from sources, but in synaptic it says version 3.6.3?? [15:21] pbn: theres scripts/find command that can do a command for each file in a dir. [15:21] about utube ripper, anybody used it before ? [15:21] linux n00b here with no time... does ubuntu use pulse audio? [15:21] pbn: especially beccause dpkg -i probably won't install them in the right order [15:21] DMRadford: yes [15:21] glaceman, where do i get pro drivers? [15:21] in the .irssi/config ? [15:21] Dr_Willis: yes I can do fin . -name *.deb -exec dpkg -i and so on [15:21] Pici: they also expect you to read the docs. :) but no one ever does that either.. heh.. [15:21] damn.... [15:21] glaceman, or you can just run xchat.. it should be automatically installed iirc.. if not, sudo apt-get install xchat [15:21] thanks... [15:21] but there's package order and dependencies [15:22] !mibbit [15:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about mibbit [15:22] how can I remove something I installed from sources [15:22] ?? [15:22] glaceman, a lot easier to configure graphically, especially for those of us who migrated from windoze :) [15:22] gnuyoga: hmm i think im abit lost here - I plan to use grub since it seems easier or? - Cant i just simply point menu.lst or another grub file to point to the other HD? [15:22] yeah i know FiReSTaRT , but im on ubuntu for commands [15:22] pbn: yes.. and if you try to insttall them all at the same single command line. ive found that they 'magically' see each other and reaize the order... [15:22] i mean if i wannted to stick to GUI, i would have continued using xp [15:22] buch_: do u use windows XP / some other version ? [15:22] pbn: but with that huge a # of packages.. it might not work. [15:22] glaceman: if you do some setting changes in irssi and then /save. the settings will be save to the config file. [15:22] Dr_Willis: ah good [15:22] Acedip: see if it has an uninstall script [15:22] glaceman, in that case, #irssi should be your best bet for package-specific support :) [15:23] can anybody tell me, where the irssi conf file located please ? [15:23] gnuyoga: I use XP [15:23] * Dr_Willis uses irssi on Windows. :) [15:23] glaceman: Please do not edit the file by hand. [15:23] names are weird :P [15:23] folder names [15:23] buch_: k [15:23] indus, no, it doesnt [15:23] Acedip: then nothing can be done [15:23] Acedip: delete folder where you install it [15:23] glaceman: which config? there ~/.irssi/config for most user settings [15:24] yeah but Pici , come with a handy solution then, cause until now, the only things guys gave me as solution [15:24] i dont wanna use GUi stuffs [15:24] gotta learn, easy or hard way [15:24] glaceman: /join #irssi [15:24] FiReSTaRT, where do i get pro drivers [15:24] u mean i type that in the terminal ?, or do i have to access the file manually ? [15:24] glaceman: default irssi.conf is in /etc/irssi.conf - or so 'locate irssi' says :) [15:24] glaceman: you can do a /save in irssi instead of edit the config file directly [15:24] since doing clean install of jaunty i notice that the mplayer brightness control doesnt work. in intrepid i could press numbers 3 and 4 to increase and decrease brightness. anyone else noticed this? [15:24] glaceman: Thats an irssi command. [15:24] indus, in synaptic an older version is said to be installed , but when i open the app, it pops up the newer version [15:25] glaceman cd /home/username/.appname [15:25] buch_: have u backed up the data ? [15:25] ola everyone [15:25] musicpenguin, system, administration, hardware drivers.. jockey should open up and show u what's available [15:25] gnuyoga: backup of what data? [15:25] glaceman: if you are such a irc beginner that you have never used '/join #channelname' befor - you may want to track down some irc beginner guides. [15:25] buch_: personnal data (if any) [15:25] !codec [15:25] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [15:25] Acedip: then from synaptic upgrade to new version [15:25] FiReSTaRT, i did..theres nothing in it [15:25] has anyone ever attempted to sync the mediubuntu repo for jaunty/intrepid using apt-mirrir [15:25] mirror* [15:26] musicpenguin, in that case you don't have any officially supported propriatary drivers for your hardware [15:26] !rm | rafaelscj [15:26] rafaelscj, please see my private message [15:26] glaceman: you've been suggested to go and ask at #irssi if you have irssi specific problem. And if you really really want to learn, not just chit chat, maybe try google. I'm thinking your problems with irssi have solutions on the firs 10 answers you get from google [15:26] gnuyoga: on my windows HD or linux? - Well not at all tho the most important is on the second partition on my windows HD [15:26] indus, but I dont want to upgrade, i want to use the older version and un-install the newer version [15:26] buch_: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Installing-GRUB-using-grub_002dinstall.html#Installing-GRUB-using-grub_002dinstall [15:26] how are we doing my friends, how is Jaunty treating us? [15:27] Acedip: do you remember where you installed it ? sudo make make install someplace [15:27] buch_: replace hda with hdb [15:27] FiReSTaRT, but my wireless card needs ndiswrappers which i need to modprobe myself otherwise the gui doesnt load and blender comes out garbled but i can use compiz which makes no sense [15:27] buch_: and replace hd0 with hd1 [15:27] buch_: oops hd is sd for you [15:27] hey all. not sure if anyone can hjelp me with this. but anyone know how to install guest additions?? [15:27] Any ideas on why my cronjobs are now not running and outputting this to syslog: Jun 18 10:24:01 SERVER1 CRON[17676]: Permission denied [15:27] buch_: in shor replace hd{a,0} with sd{b,1} [15:27] indus, i'd just fired that command in the folder where it was, does it gets installed there? [15:28] yes [15:28] Acedip: yes [15:28] musicpenguin, 2 separate issues.. for starters do you have a fresh install of ubuntu? did you run all of the updates? [15:28] * gnuyoga will be back in some time [15:28] why does the command 'time | less' not work? [15:28] FiReSTaRT, yes..just installed it yesterday [15:28] Joeseph: time is not the command to get the time, it is for measuring the amount of time a program takes to run. Try date instead. [15:28] FiReSTaRT, i didnt not run al the updates.... [15:28] anyone know why I am seeing "Permission denied" in syslog for my cron jobs? [15:29] glaceman: did the googling for you: [15:29] gnuyoga: do you mind if we PM instead my eyes are freakin out here :) [15:29] musicpenguin, run update.. it'll take forever and a half, but after you update and reboot, some propriatary drivers should become available :) [15:29] /set nick [15:29] FiReSTaRT, ok thanks.. will do :) [15:29] buch_: k [15:30] bee: how did you set it up? [15:30] that will make irssi to use when you start it, instead of your username [15:30] glaceman: /set alternate_nick [15:30] musicpenguin, chancces are you'll get the broadcom sta driver.. by the way if it hangs during the driver install, let it sit for 10min and then click on cancel or whatever.. reboot and the driver should be activated :) [15:30] Pici: Ah. Well. Then it doesn't say timeless. Thanks though..... but I can do 'time less filename' [15:30] indus, it is not where i'd fired the make command? [15:30] hi, anyone know what this error mean? ata revalidation failed -13 (when booting hardy installation cd) the error only happens with 1 specific disk [15:30] Pici: Thanks. [15:30] other command that might be intresting for you [15:30] Jeruvy: crontab -e. The user account I ran that as can exec the perl script that is running. And this perl script has been running years on this cron. [15:30] FiReSTaRT, i have the option to upgrade to Januty but i did yesterday and had big time issues with BLender..should i still just install jaunty and then update? or will that not make a diff [15:31] Acedip: which package is it? [15:31] anyone know how to setup SHARED FOLDERS? trying to set it up for a xvm virtual xp running on ubu nbr 9.04. help would be muchh appreciated ^_^ [15:31] indus, glade 3.6.5 [15:31] glaceman: the irssi homepage has some very well done 'beginner' guides. theres also command line options to set your nick to irssi. 'irssi --nick=Billgates' [15:31] !real | me [15:31] me: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [15:31] musicpenguin, i have experienced some upgrade issues as well.. that's why i prefer a fresh install :) [15:32] Acedip: in synaptic it lists the old package? [15:32] FiReSTaRT, i mean i have the Jaunty cd but went back to 810 since I had less issues... [15:32] indus, yes [15:32] bee: if the task requires root privileges, you should set it up as 'sudo crontab -e'. Could be something else, but we'd need to closely look at [15:32] zgmf-x20a: right click on the folder you want to share, go to the Share tab, and check Share this folder. [15:32] FiReSTaRT, should i retry J? [15:32] Acedip: you need to check the glade source folder to see if there is an uninstall script or see the readme for that [15:32] FiReSTaRT, or stick with I? [15:32] musicpenguin, nothing wrong with intrepid.. if you had fewer issues, you might as well switch back :) [15:33] Jeruvy, it does not require root privileges. The same user that I set the crontab can run it fine. [15:33] zgmf-x20a: after that click Create Share. [15:33] musicpenguin, but try to update first [15:33] musicpenguin, an update usually fixes most of those issues (especially once you get the hardware drivers up and running) [15:33] !pop > rafaelscj [15:33] FiReSTaRT, ok..will do...btw..someone told me i should use ath5k but i couldnt get it to work [15:33] rafaelscj, please see my private message [15:33] bee: then I'd look at what changed. [15:34] im trying to run Myth TV backend but cat work out how [15:34] !mythTV [15:34] mythtv is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV - For discussion and specific support, try #ubuntu-mythtv [15:34] FiReSTaRT, in that case I wonder if I should have stuck with Jaunty and did the update..which makes no sense since I thought Jaunty would have solved these issues [15:34] anyone know the difference between "/etc/group" and "/etc/group-"? [15:34] ok..ill stick with 810 and update :) [15:34] Acedip: its not easy [15:34] musicpenguin, it does solve a lot of issues once it's fully updated.. there's only so much they can cram onto a single cd.. the rest goes over the wire [15:34] indus, nothing is said about how to un-install it. [15:35] Acedip: hmm nvm [15:35] musicpenguin, so retry jaunty, update it, enable the hardware drivers and see what happens [15:35] !/etc/group [15:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about etc/group [15:35] Acedip: i dont know any further [15:35] mbeierl1, there is security on group- while group can be read by anyone [15:35] :\ [15:35] musicpenguin, in my experience jaunty didn't fix any of the issues but at least it didn't screw anything up and i get 6 extra months of support for it :P [15:36] cabrey: if I want to add my id to a group (say src) do I need to make the mod to both files or is there a groupmod type command that does it for me? [15:36] mbamford, use groupadd [15:36] Jeruvy, with this crontab: */1 * * * * echo "hello" >> /home/bee/debug I get no output to the debug file. Instead, I get this in my syslog "Jun 18 10:36:01 SERVER1 CRON[19926]: Permission denied" [15:36] chetnick: AHHHHHHH excellent. thank you. i hope tthis works, have to restart now tho [15:36] mbeierl1, use groupadd or addgroup [15:36] where do syslogs get saved? [15:37] err I mean crontabs [15:37] /etc/cron.* [15:37] user crons too? [15:37] cabrey: the group already exists, so I'm not technically adding or modding the group, I'm trying to add a user to an existing group list [15:37] Hi guys, i am a newbe to this. I 'd like to know if i have down loaded all software package's onto HD within ubuntu. is there a way to save my ubuntu & all added 'packages' onto a disc so that if something would happen i could just reload onto the partitianed area without effecting the Vista on the other side of the partition? [15:38] suggest a download accelerator for downloading mediafire file [15:38] Hello [15:38] mbeierl1, oh use the ubuntu users & groups tool and it will handle everything for you [15:38] something similar to idm,orbit [15:38] wget is slow for my connection [15:38] TMC1: i would download clonezilla and make a copy of the partition [15:39] suggest a download accelerator for downloading mediafire file,wget is giving less speed === yofel_ is now known as yofel [15:40] thyr1, it won't do anything, wget uses all available bandwidth unless otherwise told [15:40] TMC1: google the sbackup package.. it might do the trick.. i'm reading up on it :) [15:40] am getting higher sppes in idm in win [15:40] speed [15:41] !aptoncd | TMC1 [15:41] TMC1: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [15:41] cabrey: hmmm... not quite working. I suppose I should have prefaced this with "I am trying to manage a domain users local group permissions when attached to a Windows Domain using Likewise Open" [15:41] TMC1: That package is in the repos. [15:41] is ther any setting or max connections somethin like that for wget [15:41] hi where is the file of libc.so in the ubuntu [15:42] thyr1: No. wget only uses one connection. [15:42] mbeierl1, in that case you have to add the user to the DL group on the AD server (or one of them) [15:42] DL group? [15:42] so i need somethin that dowbload with many connections [15:42] like accelerators [15:42] salut à tous _ [15:42] ciao c'è qualcuno italiano?

[17:19] i think de4,i maybe nid adobe reader [17:19] jrib, actually yes I did that. What happens now is I get a panel with the standard ubuntu netbook remix desktop BUT no files onthe desktop or bottom task bar or application launchers [17:19] All my files are in the ~/ dir [17:19] it sound like acroread..or maybe i forgot [17:19] It's a bit frustrating ;) [17:19] imc_: weird [17:20] I was hoping to simply open a new user and import all the old one's files === CyberAspie is now known as weatherkid[A] [17:20] jrib humm... i named my currently theme as another name but it isn't there [17:20] imc_: easiest way to do that is to create new user, copy files you want, chown -R NEWUSER: ~NEWUSER [17:20] yeah, [17:20] Um_cara_qualquer: your user's themes go to ~/.themes [17:21] I was hoping for automagic but you're right [17:21] anyone using compiz? :) [17:21] Joeseph: that command keeps telling me "All cfg files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release", ignore that warning?

That's all I can think of. [17:21] btw, how do I say that ubunty shouldn't use the driver that came along but the driver provided by ndiswrapper? [17:21] Question. How do I get rid of the Xubuntu boot screen and get the Ubuntu one? [17:21] is there a way i can remove all packages that were downloaded from a certain repository?

But using ndiswrapper in itself seems outdated. Are you sure you need to? [17:23] cant find packages name acroread [17:23] Guest287: what arhc? [17:23] Bennit: I had a similair problem, except mine just wouldn't stay connected to the net for longer than 5 seconds.. My problem was that I need the latest drivers. (and I needed to modprobe it). Good luck though. [17:23] arch even [17:23] When I press ctrl+alt+f1-6 instead of getting the termianl, I get a blank screen. Is anyone else getting this?

[17:28] hello all [17:28] Having issues wiping drive. Ubuntu 9/04 for PPC, eMac, 160 gig drive. Booted to Live CD, ran Gparted, it first showed several small partitions with unknown formats, tried to delete and it wouldn't let me. I then used DBAN to completely wipe the drive, but it would only do 152 gigs of the drive. I installed Ubuntu, and it also only shows the 152 gigs,,, I'm out of ideas on how to recover the rest of this drive. Any ideas would be greatly [17:28] appreciated. [17:29] jawall: a 160gb drive isn't going to exactly be 160gb of space [17:29] jawall: but then again you shouldn't be short 8gb b/c of tha [17:30] aurilliance: that is not a bug exactly, I think it's mainly a kernel issue, well depends [17:30] hi.. i'm looking for a way to make an image of a 500gb partition (with only about 10gb used).. dd seems to be very slow and the target file will have a size of 500gb instead of 10gb.. any sugguestions? the solution doesn't have to be forensically sound [17:30] aurilliance: what people say though, is you need double your RAM as SWAP space, before you can even hibernate/sleep [17:30] dakira: partimage [17:30] sebsebseb: *double* ? I thought it was only more than ram size... ok. I've got 4g ram, so ill try gparting later... ty [17:30] hooraay, problem fixed, on a very weird and stupid way: rebooted after that ndiswrapper driver install & modprobing, now my machine doesn't recognize the wifi card anymore [17:30] so it doesn't conflict anymore with my working usb n adapter [17:31] which does work :p [17:31] it is technically 163 gigs [17:31] jrib, thx [17:31] aurilliance: yeah I think even with 4GB RAM, meant to put 8GB for SWAP [17:31] after exam period i'll try to get the real wifiadapter to work :p [17:31] !swap > aurilliance [17:31] aurilliance, please see my private message [17:31] jawall: how did you come to know that it's 163 gb? [17:31] jawall: 160 GB = 160 times 1000 x 1000 x 1000, whereas a computer sees a GB as 1024 x 1024 x 1024, hence the difference between what's advertised and what's shown on the computer. [17:31] it should show 160 gigs on the 163 gig drive [17:31] ty [17:31] dakira: a image tool will image the partition. If you just want a backup, use a backup tool or rsync.. [17:31] Sjord: its 160 x 1024^3 [17:31] aurilliance: ,but only if going to hibernate/suspend, 8GB SWAP is a lot [17:32] That isn't it... it previously showed 160 gigs,, where as the drive is really 163 gigs, [17:32] plus 8 gigs taken and several small partitiions with unknown filesystems? [17:32] thts what I though sebsebseb (a lot) but illl try it. I've got 160 to spare lol [17:32] vsingh165: Yes, that's my point. Disk manufactorers use kilobytes of 1000, not 1024. [17:32] ok guys ive got one for yall :P [17:32] ive got dual monitors... and i want a diff backgrond for each one... how do i do this? :) [17:33] jawall: a lot of times computer manufacturers put a hidden partition or two on the disk either at the beginning or the end [17:33] jawall: maybe gparted isn't seeing those [17:33] and wipe may have ignored them [17:33] hi, I'm using Opera qt4 static. How do I let it use GTK+? qt4 should do this. [17:33] dban ignored them, ubuntu partitioning igrnoed them [17:33] q: How can I check what processor is installed (amd/intel?) [17:33] weird thing is...

[17:36] not me [17:36] oh, thanks [17:36] its not anything ubuntu related [17:36] bobsomebody: I imagine "the synergy bug" may be a tad non-specific [17:36] but i am using hydrogen to generate drum loops [17:36] hey guys... is it possible to use wildcard patterns in a syslog-ng source?

[17:40] kam00zy, unless your running the old xinerama setups i think the only way to do it is like sjord said [17:41] i think xrandr (or something like that) replaced xinerama as of 7.10 [17:41] jrib - it was .nautilus causing all the ruckus.

[19:01] squeak - in win xp on the virtual go to control panel, devices etc...and look if the virtual network card is recognized [19:02] _Kuba, your going to need to make sure you have some compression codecs installed such as Divx if your trying to shrink the size of a video [19:02] but it still doesnt tell me [19:02] hmmm [19:02] musicpenguin: Ah, OK. I don't remember lspci showing that info [19:02] if you're going to name yourself "transmission" you should be able to tell me stuff about how to do things with TRANSMISSION [19:02] pumpkinseed - well thats strange, check in all your audio controls that nothing is muted [19:02] musicpenguin: ...but of course I've never looked for it [19:02] where can i ask about createrepo? [19:02] just like if you name yourself "linux" you better know everything about linux, and as I name myself myself, i know everything about you [19:02] ectospasm, i think its under prefectable [19:02] cyberghoser1, it shows a card listed...does it matter that its showing a Ethernet card and I am using wireless [19:03] <_Kuba> Dr_Willis: 40 minutes [19:03] myself: huh? [19:03] does createrepo makes repodata/primary.xml.gz for packages that i created manually? [19:03] <_Kuba> Dr_Willis: ie. 30 * [19:03] squeak - normally it should show a wireless too, if you set it in virtualbox settings [19:03] ectospasm need to ask you once i make /home parition and add old /home to new /home partition , i reboot after i re-log give me error ./netuilis something like that and say make permission 644 , i did and same error give , i delete user and home folder and create till it work! how to fix this thing thanks =0 [19:03] _Kuba: dependoing on the res and codec you can get that down to under 700mb eaially enough. [19:04] need_help: normally you don't add to a /home partition (unless you use LVM like I do) [19:04] if i have 256 prefetchable video memory why does blender still stay up after i closed it [19:05] musicpenguin: it probably has nothing to do with video RAM [19:05] i fixed it [19:05] pumpkinseed - glad to read it :) [19:05] amixer set -Dhw:0 'Audigy Analog/Digital Output Jack',0 unmute [19:05] that command did it [19:05] ectospasm, then what?

[19:06] need_help: you need to install Ubuntu using the alternate CD [19:06] musicpenguin: I dunno, I've never used blender [19:06] which is a good book for ubuntu server administration? [19:06] ectospasm, oh ok..thanks though :) [19:07] Blender is fun. [19:07] blarg] [19:07] lol [19:07] Hodapp, it is [19:07] msaraujo: Beginning Ubuntu Server Adin. by van vugt .. available at B&N [19:07] got a question if i did sudo aptitude install ubuntustudio-desktop to install studio do i just do sudo aptitude uninstall ubuntustudio-desktop to remove , it because im having sound problems [19:08] so i would rather go back to regular ubuntu [19:08] Hey guys! Has anyone updated their GRUB to GRUB2 ? Thanks [19:08] toenail: aptitude -y remove ubuntustudio-desktop [19:08] toenail you can also check the sound settings lol [19:08] Scunizi: and a really good one for shell scripting skills? [19:08] how do you test a memory module...right now im at 512 cuz if i add both i get errors and linux wont load === Uncle|Sam is now known as uncle|sam [19:08] InfoMoMo: is it in synaptic? === joshthecoder_afk is now known as joshthecoder [19:08] msaraujo making a shell script is easy [19:08] musicpenguin: the memtest item in the grub menus on most disrto/live cds is handy for that [19:08] msaraujo: the O'Reilly Bash book is good [19:08] humm [19:09] O'Reilly Bash book - is a must get [19:09] just make a text file with the commands you whant then chmod +x it [19:09] Dr_Willis, oh ok thanks...ill have to do that then :) [19:09] bbl :) [19:09] !grub2 [19:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about grub2 [19:09] guys.. is there any good torrent web interface .. which I can control from web [19:09] i did , problem is im using alsa i have 3 sound cards installed , tring to record multiple instruments on different tracks , so if one wolume is lower than the other at the time of recording it i can just adjust the volume and wont have to rerecord [19:09] thiebaude: not yet, i will check [19:09] ok, thanks [19:09] rubydiam_: many torrent clienbts have a web interface.. transmission does. and ktorrent does also [19:09] rubydiam yes [19:09] 'web interface .. which I can control from web [19:10] Dr_Willis: I will be installing on my slicehost slice [19:10] i want to make a screenshot (area) like in kde. what is that app called from kde? or how to get it in gnome? [19:10] :) thats... made me chuckly. [19:10] utorrent has web ingterface supporrt [19:10] rubydiam_: that maens very little to me... [19:10] so there will be no gui available [19:10] * bc is terrified to upgrade the kernel after reading the channel for the last couple months [19:10] iceroot: hit printscreen [19:10] rubydiam_: install vnc, and you can get a remote gui. :) [19:10] Dr_Willis: which one is good web interface [19:10] rubydiam_: they all work fine for my needs.. try them out and see [19:10] pffft, I upgraded my kernel the first time when I was 15 and the only thing that took awhile was the compilation [19:10] ectospasm: i want the program from kde when i hit print there [19:10] how can i know if this is in RAID ? [19:10] Hi, is any one on umuntu run mail server [19:10] thiebaude: it is in synaptic [19:10] bc: if you do a kernel upgrade from the repo, you should still have the old one staill availalbe as well, so if any problems [19:10] ectospasm: ro select an area, window or fullscreen [19:11] InfoMoMo: thanks [19:11] iceroot: the screenshot tool should have that in it. [19:11] <_Tristan> sometimes my graphics settings reset on their own and all my windows consolidate to my first desktop. My compiz settings also are forgotten. How do I fix this? [19:11] Hodapp: same here, but with the nvidia problems lately in 9.04 I'm a little gun shy [19:11] bc you can remove the old one later [19:11] ectospasm: cant see it in 8.04 gnome if i press print [19:11] bc: if you've installed an nvidia driver downloaded direct from nvidia then download the latest and be prepaired to reinstall it. [19:11] sebsebseb, gogeta: sounds like a plan [19:11] iceroot: printscreen [19:12] ectospasm: i want to select an area like in kde! [19:12] the key on the keyboad that says "PrintScreen/SysRq" [19:12] Scunizi: I install nvidia driver from hardware detection in system menu [19:12] hello, i need some help :( my nvidia drivers dont work.. i always get black screen after reboot.. i tried other drivers but its always the same.. booting, splash, black screen.. the monitor seems working (LED is green; no warning like "no signal") but theres no output at all :( [19:12] ectospasm: if i press print in kde, there a three options, fullscree, window and area which i can select [19:12] bc: then you should be fine. you might consider installing dkms from the repos as well. That will help things that have a kernel mod automatically redo the mod on a new kernel. [19:12] iceroot: if you're in GNOME, try Applications > Accessories > Take Screenshot [19:13] ectospasm: there is no area [19:13] <_Tristan> once in a while my graphics level resets to normal. How do I fix this? === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam [19:13] iceroot install gimp [19:13] iceroot: there is in Jaunty [19:13] gogeta: ..... [19:13] ectospasm: http://plasma.kde.org/media/ksnapshot_kde4.png ksnapshot it is called i see [19:14] lol [19:14] iceroot: yeah, but you're asking about the Gnome screenshot tool [19:14] ectospasm: i am asking how to get the program from kde [19:14] ectospasm: but now i have it [19:14] LOL [19:14] why is X leaking memory? [19:14] it's using like [19:14] 100MB [19:14] gimp works [19:14] is that normal? [19:15] iceroot: oh, OK [19:15] wubrgamer: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:15] <_Tristan> my graphics level keeps reseting. How do I stop it? [19:15] lo hai ppl [19:15] how much memory should I be using for X? [19:15] wubrgamer: that's not necessarily a leak [19:15] gogeta: of course it is working but that was not my question [19:15] it can do area [19:15] When all else fails /bootkickhdd/fist to the screen... that will fix all memory leaks, video errors =P [19:15] or even windows [19:15] ectospasm: what is standard usage for most people? [19:15] or entire screen [19:15] gogeta: have a look at ksnapshot. with that i dont need gimp [19:15] hi [19:16] gogeta: and as is said before, i am using 8.04 [19:16] gimps for 8.04 [19:16] hell for any distro [19:16] sebsebseb: ok so it brokwe my networking [19:16] wubrgamer: if I'm reading top right, X.org is using about 52MB for me right now [19:16] gogeta: please stop it, you dont get my question [19:16] i need some information with someone that knows ubuntu 9.04 >.> [19:16] sedontane: are you the guy that upgraded 8.04 to 8.10? [19:16] ectospasm: yeah, it's using too much for me [19:16] iceroot you said you whanted s snapshop f a reao [19:17] area [19:17] is it my driver? how do I check to see what driver I'm using? [19:17] xmadragex: don't preface your question, just ask [19:17] I would like to add a source for packages to my sources.list. where would I find this file in order to modify it? [19:17] sebsebseb: yeah and i still cant find an 8.10 install cd [19:17] gogeta: i was asking about the name of the kde-program so that i can install it in gnome [19:17] wubrgamer: how much RAM do you have? [19:17] HI room ..!! [19:17] gogeta: i was not asking about gimp or anything like this [19:17] like [19:17] erm... [19:17] sedontane: yeah I said don't get 9.04 :) I know where you can get 8.10 though [19:17] 1.5 g i believe ectospasm [19:17] Morph`, system>Administration/software sources? [19:17] ok then i got a problem with my nvidia card for installation i past 50+ hours on diffrent way to installing it and even recreat the xorg.conf and such [19:17] Morph`, that what your lookin for? [19:18] sedontane: or maybe you should try both versions from the Live CD [19:18] 100MB is not that much then, wubrgamer [19:18] sedobtane the 2 ubuntu distros are 8.04 and 9.04 [19:18] it's the largest consumer of memory on my system [19:18] Hi. Any good PIM to trust to work with? [19:18] how do I find the missing files in directory "B" when compared to directory "A"? [19:18] am about to try envynv but am not sure about its compatiblity for gaming with shaders [19:18] gogeta: wrong there is 8.10 as well [19:18] faldo: I like KDE's the best, it's really well done [19:18] any one run ubuntu as mail server ??? [19:18] xmadragex: DO NOT USE ENVYNG OR ENVY [19:18] i am using 8.04, created new user test with password,but when i login by ssh it was saying could not chdir to directory /home/test: file and directory [19:18] 8.10 is no longer for dl [19:18] any one ? [19:18] why? [19:18] Scunizi: I'd use the simplest: ls A | sort > A.list; ls B | sort > B.list; diff A.list B.list [19:18] tunnlrat: oh, some software I want to install needs me to add it before I can install it. [19:18] please, could anyone with nvidia driver paste me his xorg.conf? [19:18] replaced my 9.04 [19:18] fullmetalj: kinda sorta, I use postfix for smtp relay [19:18] by [19:19] * Morph` is a mac user, please excuse my ignorance as to the ways of Linux [19:19] sedontane: http://releases.ubuntu.com [19:19] morph lol [19:19] anyo on know.. my prob.. ? [19:19] osx babhy [19:19] :) [19:19] sedontane: also before burning an ISO you should md5sum it really [19:19] well am kidda suck i got a system that boot commandline and i can't start the gui [19:19] !md5sum | sedontane [19:19] sedontane: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [19:19] I'm running php and JSON/AJAX chat thing on my server and it's wildly inefficient. I know that's what is causing it, I just dont' know why. Is there a way to monitor what exactly is using all the cpu? Further down than just the processes.. [19:19] Morph`, hey i came from windows xp and vista i know what you mean [19:19] grawity: looks good.. can I use the -R switch to also make it recurrsive? [19:19] gogeta: & sebsebseb: I cant use 9.04 due to it breaking my TV card's IR reciever. And I cant use 8.04 because i cant get a high enough kernel to install TV card driver package [19:19] bingo: did you create the new user's home directory when you created the user? [19:20] sedontane: you can find the code that you compare the md5sum to in the releases section as well [19:20] now i use only linux and even figured out how to get two different versions of linux to dual boot on the same computer [19:20] sedontane: yeah your doing 8.10 :) [19:20] Scunizi: Dunno, haven't tried ... but no, you'll probably need to replace ls with find. [19:20] When I install, say numpy, using easy_install on ubuntu, it installs version 1.2.1 instead of the 1.3.0 available on PyPI - why is this so and how do I fix it? [19:20] sedontane: and I said before you could probably get a ppa for a later kernel in 8.04, but 8.10 :) [19:20] ectospasm: thanks for reply, i createed user by $sudo useradd test; sudo passwd test... tahts it ? [19:20] tunnlrat: that ain't hard [19:20] http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ [19:20] there you go [19:21] ectospasm, it is when your a linux noob!! good thing ubuntu fixed it all after i broke it this morning lol [19:21] bingo: if you didn't pass the optino to create the user's home directory, that's why it's not working [19:21] <_raven_> ich lade ein os zum netboot auf den server: wie mache ich das? [19:21] !de [19:21] In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [19:21] is there a way that my nvidia card can work with driver without crying like little girl that lost a neil :P [19:21] tunnlrat: automagically? cool [19:21] ectospam: which option should i use for createnig new user with directory.. ? [19:21] command ?= [19:21] grawity: hmmmm.. basically I'm trying to discover the missing files on a /home backup after a freeze while copying and just copy the remaining files, inlcuding hidden files/directories.. [19:21] sweet, no editing files in terminal! [19:21] thank god it's not debian! [19:21] Hi All! [19:21] cheers guys [19:21] xmadragex: your analogy is lost on me [19:22] ectospasm, yeah already had ubuntu installed tried to add mandriva booting and install from a second drive, which broke ubuntu, when i did a recovery install ubuntu fixed both [19:22] xmadragex: what do you mean "crying like a little girl?" [19:22] well for one [19:22] I need help: i've got Flash Card with deleted pictures [19:22] ubuntu won't configure or make xorg work with the nvidia drivers [19:22] sebsebseb: does that cd come with a .28 or greater kernel? cos all i saw when i uprgraded was the .27 kernel [19:22] so basically any configuration and changes won't work [19:22] sedontane: I think so, and if not you can do the ppa [19:22] BlessJah: unless the pics are in .Trash, Trash, or some other like folder, they're probably gone [19:22] as if its not using information from xorg.conf for the nvidia drivers [19:23] Morph`, so far using ubuntu i've never had to edit from the terminal i've been able to fix every problem with a gui solution ilke a windows crack head [19:23] ectospasm: flash card [19:23] if not ill be back seb [19:23] so when i reboot i lose the gui completely and endup in commandline [19:23] sedontane: I think after security updates you will have 28 if it's not already there [19:23] sedontane just a normal 8.10 cd [19:23] ectospasm: remoced using "delete" option in camera [19:23] and then you past around 50+ hours trying to know why and fix it [19:23] tunnlrat: I'm just trying to get some freaking themes to work and it's been a huge PITA. [19:23] morph lol [19:23] sedontane: md5sum the ISO :) [19:24] sedontane: before burning [19:24] !wiki gnome-pin [19:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about wiki gnome-pin [19:24] maybe there to old [19:24] xmadragex: what version of the nvidia drivers do you have installed? I had a problem on my work computer where the 180 version doesn't work with my card (no device created) [19:24] so the part "Crying like a little girl" means your crying at your monitor asking why its making your like horrble since ubuntu is a great linux that can replace windows [19:24] Morph`, stick with it man the longer i use ubuntu the more i like it, I've evern got all my windows games to run, WoW is currently installing itself and runs better in ubuntu than it did in windows [19:24] !wiki gnome-pim [19:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about wiki gnome-pim [19:24] i tryed to install the 180 ones [19:24] ohh [19:24] ectospam: $sudo useradd -d test ? [19:24] wait [19:24] xmadragex: maybe drop down to the 173 ones [19:24] meaning the 177 will work?

[19:25] tunnlrat: well, it'll never replace Mac OS X for me, but as a viable alternative to linux, so far it's better than Vista. [19:25] lol [19:25] ectospasm: i tried all from repos, none of them work [19:25] how can i copy a video driver to disk and re-install it on another version of ubuntu? [19:25] right now am work i got a a machine am going to use as a test [19:25] my video card is an nvidia 8600 and the newest drivers work great for me never had a problem yet [19:25] bingo: -m [19:25] http://www.gnome-themes.org/ [19:25] enjoy [19:25] ectospasm: $sudo useradd -m test ? it will creat directory/profile every thing ?

[19:26] ectospasm: and what drivers do you use? [19:26] tunnlrat LOL [19:26] tunnlrat: and a healthy knowledge of BSD unix from server adminning and working as a Mac Genius on the back end [19:26] iggy1: there I use nvidia-173 [19:26] *G* [19:26] Nvida with linux = great so far, Ati on my laptop with linux = i want to hide in the corner and cry like a baby [19:26] trying to get the video driver from 8.10 so i can attempt to load it in 9.04 [19:27] *.* [19:27] grawity: how does this look..?? any suggestions on syntax? ls -aR /home/user/ | sort > a.list; ls -aR /media/disk-1/ | sort > b.list; diff a.list b.list | sort > diff.list; cp -a [19:27] tunnlrat all my atis work fine in linux [19:27] any thoughts? [19:27] Scunizi: well, -R will really break with sort... [19:28] nvidia support is generally better. [19:28] gogeta, yeah mines an onboard laptop xpress 1100 ati video card and it runs like crap lol [19:28] tunnlrat onbords genrelly do [19:28] Scunizi: find /home/user | sort > a.list; find /media/disk-1 | sort > b.list; diff a.list b.list [19:28] grawity: ah!.ok.. sorting isn't really necessary .. just a list of files and directories is fine as long as I can pass it along [19:28] ok am about to test the 173 driver if it works i'll feel like a nooblet :P [19:28] second question [19:29] Scunizi: sorting is necessary for diff. [19:29] (At least in this case. [19:29] Fretegi, under system/administration/hardware Drivers can you get it to activate your nvidia stuff that way? [19:29] i own a TH2GO and does it work with linux for high resulotion to 5080 by 1050? [19:29] or i need to modify some files? [19:29] got a gateway laptop I'm working on with Ubuntu 8.04. it has a Conexant Audio chipset and is only outputting sound through the headphone jack. Any thoughts? [19:29] Fretegi, thats how i got the nvidia 180 drivers updated and working [19:29] ectospasm: thanks..!! [19:30] bingo: np! [19:30] grawity: since it's recurrisive and finding hidden directories, can ls return the list with a full path? that would allow sort to functions wouldn't it? [19:30] gafu i had problems with my laptop with 8.04 ones i upgrated to 9.04 for some reason it works [19:30] Have any body use Nomachine NX at ubuntu 8.04 ?? [19:30] what i want to do is copy that file, as it is unavailable in jaunty, i want to copy, go back to januty, and see if i can make it work manually [19:30] Scunizi: and that's what "find" does. [19:30] i am facing error.... dont know how to solv it [19:30] bingo: no, but I've used it in 9.04 [19:30] xmadragex: interesting [19:30] bingo: should be functionally equivalent [19:30] Gadu, i haven't solved that issue yet i have the exact same problem, someone before told me in this channel its a problem with jack sensing, but i never found a resolution yet [19:30] bingo ?? [19:30] hm, i installed nvidia 173 (from hardware drivers) and it still gives me blank screen after reboot [19:31] ectospasm: i install ubuntu 8.04 server edition then later on i gave command $sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [19:31] iggy1: did it remove the 180 drivers? [19:31] grawity: ok.. good to know.. I was thinking of grep as well.. but I don't know much about that command despite its usefullness. [19:31] bingo: hmmm, not an ideal way to do it [19:31] ectospasm: i first removed all nvidia stuff (synaptic) [19:31] what exactly is the ubuntu.seed file? [19:31] xmadragex: do you think the 9.04 livecd would have working audio so I can test it? [19:31] Scunizi: Well, you can diff a b | grep ^< to only return differences from one side, for example. [19:31] ectospasm: i have install gnome i think so, actualy i am sitting at remote sde, so what is ideal way = [19:32] bingo: the way I understand it, the server kernel lacks a lot of the preemption code which makes a desktop nice and snappy [19:32] gadu am not sure i rarely use the livecd [19:32] bingo remote i would say ssh [19:32] but ya cantry it should load up all the needed drivers [19:32] xmadragex: worth a shot I guess then [19:32] never hurt to try [19:32] ectospasm: now how can i use NX at this server Edition.. [19:33] Scunizi: Do you want to list files that only exist in disk-1, or files that only exist in homedir? [19:33] gogeta: yes SSH, [19:33] tunnlrat: I'll let you know if updating to a newer version of ubuntu solves it [19:33] !backup [19:33] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [19:33] bingo: read the NX documentation. or try #nx [19:33] grawity: that might work because I only want to know what is missing on the external usb.. so what is returned needs to be a full path listing of files in /home that DON't exist in /media/disk-1 [19:33] gadu i use a pratice that work for me for the past 8 years i always test it virtually and then one pass for most apps i test with the hardware in question then i make the switch [19:33] ectospasm: i have installed it without error now i am facing error at my side.. this (the remote proxy closed the connection while negitiating the session) [19:33] am picky [19:33] Scunizi: Actually, I'm sure there's an easier way to do this, but I'm just used to using the shell tools for stuff. [19:34] bingo: I dunno, try #nx [19:34] grawity: I don't have an issue using the shell tools for this.. they seem to be faster.. it's just which one and what method is best or easiest :) [19:34] okay, so here's a question...the theme I want to use uses the Emerald theme manager. I have it installed and all [19:35] ectospasm.. Ok .. thankZz..!! [19:35] anyone know how to backup multiple partitions (2 ext3 + 1 swap for Ubuntu, 1 ntfs + 1 'unformatted' for WinXP) to a new (larger) HD? [19:35] how do I tell Ubuntu to use that instead of defaulting to the appearance preferenceS? [19:35] Mike_lifeguard: why backup swap? [19:35] Gadu, have you tried changing the volume in alsamixer from the terminal [19:35] if am not too annoying with question what the diffrence with ext3 and ext4? and what recommanded [19:35] Morph`: you could use rsync, cp -R, etc. [19:35] er, Not Morph [19:35] heh [19:35] Okay here is my problem - I want to dual boot Ubuntu and Windows XP with grub - I tried to change cables and jumpers and ofc /boot/grub/menu.lst but when i choose windows it just says [starting system up ...] and then it just seem to idle - I have two hardisks with two partitions on the windows partition (im pretty sure i pointed grub to the right partition, i tried various setting atleast) [19:35] I was going to say... [19:35] Mike_lifeguard: you could use rsync, or cp -R [19:35] ectospasm: well, I don't need to back up the data in it... but it does need to still be there [19:36] Anyone who can help?

[19:37] Does anyone know how i can speed up my VNC sessions (ie; faster refresh)? [19:37] ectospasm: so, hook it up on USB with something like http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812104062 and then partition it, then rsync or cp the data... anything else? [19:37] how can i read info from a RPM package like name, arch, version, checksum, summary, description, packager, license etc [19:37] craaaap, sorry. wrong chan.

I would like to set a shutdown shortcut...is it possible? [19:39] glaedr, you say "sudo shutdown -r now" [19:39] grawity: can you help explain the logical flow of this? I understand the first part up to "cut -d/ -f2" ... what is the -d/ and -f2 do? [19:39] has anyone heard of any plans to release a new video driver that would help with my intel chipset problems? [19:39] Anyone know why it's 'sudo reboot' in terminal, but the fast user switching applet lets you do it without being root? [19:39] Gadu, you have good volume in the headphones but not thru speakers somehow it is getting muted try running alsamixer from terminal and make sure master and pcm are not muted and the volume is up use the arrow keys [19:39] hi [19:39] !intel | lich0r [19:39] lich0r: 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. [19:39] sudo seem to be a replacemtn of su root lol [19:39] lich0r: have you filed a bug on launchpad, that's the place to request new drivers [19:39] the same answer of Mike_lifeguard [19:39] xmadragex: seems to? It IS! [19:39] ectospasm: alien has no options to display info... [19:40] ectospasm: it just converts and installs [19:40] it is oh lol then i still have a brain in my little head LOL [19:40] I have read everything there is to read about it, I am just wondering when they are going to fix it because none of the fixes have really worked for me === rubydiam_ is now known as rubydiamond [19:40] grawity: ok.. -d is a delimiter and f is a fields list.. what is field 2?

[19:40] i'm having trouble with my logitech webcam fusion, it doesn't seem to work, i have Ubuntu 9.10 installed, and i'm trying to use my webcam for video conference [19:40] Mike_lifeguard: The applet is running under root credentials, but allows input form non-root users. [19:40] carthik » I said "without being root", so I want not to need to log as root [19:40] does anyone know a solution? === cryptide_ is now known as cryptide [19:40] roobly_roo: ok.... weird, but ok :) [19:41] Scunizi: Since find returns the _full_ path, cut removes the /home/user part -- so that the end result is somedir/somefile instead of /home/user/somedir/somefile. The -d / parameter makes it use slash for separator, -f 2- makes it only leave fields starting with the third one. (I think it should be 3- actually, I'm kinda sleepy now) [19:41] Glaedr, only admins should be able to shutdown machines, dont you think? [19:41] lich0r: I dunno then [19:41] grawity: and how is that determined to be the right one to use.. (my learning curve just started with this despite my 3 yrs linux use.) [19:41] Glaedr, if you don't think so, you can change the policy on your machine for anyone to be able to shutdown the machine... [19:41] carthik: anyone with physical access CAN shutdown your machine, there's really no way of preventing that [19:41] ctmjr: all output volumes are maxed except cd which is 80%, inputs are mute [19:41] carthik » but when I do it by the GUI, I don't need to log myself as root [19:42] i am myself [19:42] ectospasm, yeah, well, anyone without physical access, who is not an admin should not be able to shutdown the machine, there. [19:42] myself » lol [19:42] grawity: that makes sense.. so this will create a list of what is in /home that isn't in /media/disk-1.. then how do I pass that list to a cp command? [19:42] Glaedr, yeah, that is the policy I just mentioned, that makes it possible... [19:42] carthik » for example by System > Exit or by ctrl+alt+del [19:42] i'm having trouble with my logitech webcam fusion, it doesn't seem to work, i have Ubuntu 9.10 installed, and i'm trying to use my webcam for video conference, does anyone know how to make the webcam work? [19:42] Scunizi: First, check if the list is okay. [19:42] Glaedr, there is something called policykit to make desktops friendlier [19:43] carthik » and how do I set it? [19:43] grawity: ok.. brb I gotta plug in the usb drive... [19:43] Glaedr, set what again? [19:43] I need to compress several directories with zip from command line. I have dir1 and dir2. How can I do this?? [19:43] You can remove the shutdown button from the windows start menu so why can't you in linux??? though will that stop someone from unplugging the power cord? or do you need to be root to unplug [19:43] carthik: it's called a power button [19:43] carthik » the system policy [19:43] carthik: I dunno how you can lock that [19:43] carthik: maybe with a special case/motherboard [19:43] alright, can I have the question in one sentence? I am confused about what you are trying to do [19:44] Scunizi: And check if both lists have the correct amount of path cut ... I think the -f parameter to cut should be 4- instead of 2- [19:44] grawity: k [19:44] Has anyone scripted installing sun-java6 with the whole license thing?

That's why `shutdown` and `reboot` require sudo. In the context of a desktop environment, the assumption is that only one (or few) will be using the machine, and therefore every user should have that privilege. [19:44] kain: I had the same trouble with my Logitech. From what I read only certain ones will work [19:44] (want to give me a hint as to what needs to be done) [19:44] Scunizi: Should be correct. (Sorry, I can't concentrate :( [19:45] roobly_roo: I still think it's weird, but OK :D [19:45] grawity: you mean with the 3 or 4? where are you at? us west coast here. [19:45] can anyone help me? [19:45] nice, i have new error - cannot load nvidia_drv.so [19:46] Scunizi: Eastern Europe, UTC+3 (DST)... anyway, the last command I gave should be correct.

[19:49] oh [19:49] duh [19:49] Suddenly a logical volume doesn't show it's UUID via vol_id anymore (and thus won't mount). [19:49] It says ID_FS_TYPE=silicon_medley_raid_member ID_FS_VERSION=25601.115 I can force it to mount as ext3 and the data seems to be ok. [19:49] never mind, I DO have it, I just also have noscript turned on [19:50] tunnlrat: There's a difference from _hiding_ a function (which can still be used another way) and _disabling_ it (which prevents the user from using that function).

[19:50] eh, i can see no drivers in "hardware drivers" [19:50] grawity, to true lol [19:50] tunnlrat: Authorizations (polkit), and permissions in Windows, can actually prevent users from shutting down the system.

I've always had issues copying large amounts of data with nautilus. [20:02] jrtayloriv, Ah, you're using broadcom's proprietary driver, wl. You'd probably get better performance with that than with ndiswrapper. [20:03] grawity: nautilus seems to organize what it copies in some odd order.

Is there a module in lib modules (like wl.ko) that I can just copy over an modprobe, or is it more complex than that? [20:03] is there anything in synaptic I can install to get the touchscreen and finger print reader on my hp touchsmart tx2 working [20:03] jrtayloriv: to make a bradcom car working you need to install its firmware do « sudo aptitude install b43-fwcutter » while conected to internet [20:03] Scunizi: that's why |sort [20:04] iggy1: when you got that error it should have suggested building them for you. [20:04] jrtayloriv: avoid ndiswrapper crap if you can [20:04] jrtayloriv, Just download the driver from broadcom's site (the tarball) and install it.

[20:06] Scunizi: well, the installation tries to build the kernels and then the error appears [20:06] Pici: package sources [20:06] tunnlrat: yes [20:06] jrtayloriv: i would avoid that [20:06] krunk-|work: Ones you have downloaded using apt-get source? [20:06] erUSUL: why? [20:06] Hello, has anyone tried installing grub or any other kind of bootloader on a Adaptec 2045 controller? [20:06] iggy1: do you have "build-essential" installed? === bac` is now known as bac [20:06] jrtayloriv: open source drivers give fewer problems in the long run [20:06] hello, what is the difference between the "Terminal Service Client" and "Remote Desktop Viewer" === red-lichtie_ is now known as red-lichtie [20:06] jrtayloriv: they get upgraded with the kernel and you do not have to reinstall them [20:07] Scunizi: no, i'll install it and try again, thanks [20:07] iggy1: np.. [20:07] krunk-|work: If so, then those are not tracked by apt, they are just file downloads. [20:07] Pici: sec, I'm holding my breath hoping this goes well [20:08] erUSUL: Well, I need it working right now, and it is saying on the b43 site that they only support 802.11g (not b/a) ... so I'll stick with proprietary until the open source one is functional I guess. [20:08] jrtayloriv: also install linux-backports-modules-jaunty-generic [20:08] jrtayloriv: they have up to dat wifi drivers [20:08] brandonban6, is the Remote Desktop viewer a gui and the Terminal service client is just that, Text/Terminal? [20:08] erUSUL, He wants drivers to use on his gentoo livecd. [20:09] Ahadiel: jrtayloriv wtf ??? then ask in a gentoo channel [20:09] come onnnn baby, reboot :) [20:09] tunnlrat, no they are both GUI default Ubuntu Applications. You can find them under Applications > Internet, I am just trying to figure out why they put both are on there. [20:09] erUSUL, he initially wanted to COPY the working drivers from his Ubuntu installation. [20:10] jrtayloriv, http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php [20:10] grawity: with an 11 hour difference between us I gotta say.. I'd be sleeping about now :) [20:10] Scunizi: Huh? [20:10] grawity: you said eastern europe right? [20:10] Scunizi: yeah, 22:10 here. [20:11] grawity: noon here.. 10pm isn't bad.. but when you're feeling sleepy it might as well be [20:12] i tried installing "apt-get install spca5xx-source" but it couldn't find the package, does anyone know how i can install it? === kevin__ is now known as canadaeh [20:12] kain: it might not be under that name, you can search with the "apt-cache search searchstuffhere" command [20:13] kain: also, make sure you run "apt-get update" before you do any stuff with apt-get or apt-cache [20:13] Scunizi: Hackers don't sleep. (Kind of joking; but yeah, lack of sleep might explain the constant inability to concentrate :( [20:13] Scunizi: well, it sais i must configure kernel sources to match my kernel [20:13] if i mount a samba drive in /etc/fstab, what happens when i lose net? will the share unmount? will it remount when i get net again? [20:13] stealth: ok i'll try :) [20:13] lol.. i sleep till noon and am up till 4 :( bad sleep pattern [20:13] yo ciber [20:13] kain you might be able to find it here http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html [20:14] grawity: thanks for the help.. I'll tackle the remaining bits later. I'm off to do some actual work now. [20:14] yo cyber rebel [20:14] iggy1: open synaptic and search for kernel.. in the resulting list look for the reference for "source" that matches your kernel and install. [20:14] is it possible to play my itunes m4p songs on ubuntu? [20:15] thank you to the people that replyed the information helped a lot [20:15] daishadar: fstab is mounted on boot, or you can specify what part of it to mount with the "mount devicehere" command. It will not remount if you loose net and get it back, and it should unmount if you loose your internet, like a flash drive (not sure though) [20:15] okay, here's a question: how do I change window managers from GNome to KDE? [20:15] http://racecar56.pastebin.com/f254c59b5 [20:15] Scunizi: what kernel? the ubuntu one? [20:15] Morph`: install the kubuntu-desktop package [20:15] Morph`, it's desktop environments [20:15] chiques: the ones with DRM, no. [20:15] Morph`: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop ... or threw pakage manager [20:15] Morph`: you should be able to choose kde in the ligin screen after that [20:16] stealth-: i see. how should i be mounting this share then so that it remounts when i gain net again? [20:16] heyho =P === Ramsed is now known as ramsed [20:16] iggy1: that's what you should be running unless you've installed one from some outside sources.. [20:16] grawity, So they are basically encrypted? [20:16] chiques: Yes. (And more than "basically") [20:16] thankee [20:17] I guess that means I should start buying my music on Amazon then. === ramsed is now known as Ramsed [20:17] daishadar: samba *might* have something like that in the settings, but worse case scenerio you can write a bash script that checks to see if the samba share is mounted, and if its not it will mount it. Then you could put that script in the crontab to run every minute. [20:18] chiques: If you have Windows still, then you could use iTunes to burn the songs to a CD. Then rip back to Ogg or MP3 or whatever. [20:18] grawity, I see, but doesn't that loose all of the song information? [20:18] (Windows or Mac OS, that is.) [20:18] chiques: you can find ipod rip software online.. it will rip ipod songs off the ipod.. because itunes doesnt want you to do this.. [20:19] chiques: Like title, artist, year? "CD Text" does preserve some of it, but not much. [20:19] Anyway, this is probably not the place to discuss DRM removal :( [20:19] chiques: and you can edit that stuff back in ubuntu, if you needed, but it might be a pain if you have alot of songs [20:20] grawity, I don't want to remove anything to do with DRM, I just wanted to play my music ( WHICH I PAYED FOR) on Linux instead of crappy windows [20:20] chiques: amarok can play ipods.. [20:20] grawity, stealth- thanks for the iinsight [20:20] chiques: just go to the options and set the device. [20:20] chiques: anytime ;) [20:20] chiques: Well, DRM is called "Digital _Restrictions_ Management" by many not without a reason. [20:20] canadaeh, I'll try that [20:22] #stalla-it [20:22] what do i need to download to get ath5k? :) [20:23] #ubuntu-it [20:23] is there not a "lisa" package anymore" the LAN Information Server? [20:23] chiques: I used a program called tunejack in windows then just copied my library to my linux partition, [20:23] I need help with my xorg.conf. I just upgraded to the 2.6.28-13 kernel in Jaunty, downloaded the new restricted drivers manager packages with it.. but xorg fails and says: failed to load NVIDIA module. [20:24] WIGGMPk: mang you have a ton of problems xD [20:24] canadaeh, I'll check that out. I'm trying Amarok for now to see that how that works. [20:24] canadaeh: yes, i do lol [20:24] ;P [20:24] to upgrade from 8.04 to 9.0, I have to upgrade to 8.10 first. but I don't see how to do that [20:24] Anyone know of a good motherboard, CPU and Video card to upgrade too while using Linux? [20:24] do I just run a do-release-upgrade twice? [20:24] !upgrade > krunk-|work [20:24] krunk-|work, please see my private message [20:25] ubottu: oh, sure [20:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about oh, sure [20:25] krunk-|work: yes [20:25] lol bot [20:25] krunk-|work: you can do some aptitutde dist-upgrade and i know there is another command [20:25] I cant get overkill too play, it keeps aborting or seg-faulting [20:25] Anyone know of a good motherboard, CPU and Video card to upgrade too while using Linux? [20:26] wizzo50: almost any motherboard should work, same with CPU, and I find nvidia cards will work best in linux. [20:26] !repeat > wizzo50 [20:26] wizzo50, please see my private message [20:26] wizzo50: the people in ##hardware might have a better idea, though [20:26] wizzo50: lean twords AMD if you play on running windows in a VM [20:26] canadaeh, Well, Amarok loaded my music but it doesn't want to play it. I guess I'll have to do the CD thing [20:26] I know that, but just want to get a good one when I upgrade here in the next couple weeks [20:26] hm, lsb_release -a says ubuntu 8.04, do-release-upgrade returns "no new releases found" [20:26] lemme look over these docs again [20:27] gartral: windows in a vm? you cant play any 3d games :/ [20:27] anyone familiar with ath5k? [20:27] nobody uses lisa? [20:27] stealth-: lates VMWare Player allows you too [20:27] I once installed ath9k [20:27] latest* [20:27] chiques: did you try twice [20:27] chiques: like close amarok and re open [20:27] you just need to find a guide for it on the internet [20:27] canadaeh, OK, I'll try [20:27] wizzo50: you should probably stay away from 64 bit processors, cause most people dont use them so you would get different support? [20:27] Use it for games, movies [20:28] wizzo50: sorry, that wasnt supposed to have a ? at the end [20:28] gartral: ........really??? [20:28] yeah, it say sno new release available [20:28] stealth-: do they even make processors that aren't 64bit anymore? [20:28] stealth-: yep [20:28] i installed linux-backports-modules-intrepid but what do i do now? [20:28] which can't be right. I'm running server though. perhaps 8.04 is the highest for server [20:28] http://racecar56.pastebin.com/f254c59b5 [20:28] jrib: they *do* but there really trying to force us all to upgarde [20:28] jrib: I think so, i've seen alot of amd64's in the wal-mart close to my home [20:28] then what processor are you saying is good [20:28] I believe I am experiencing an issue that was reported in bug# 310928. There seems to be a fix in dmraid(1.0.0.rc15-1~exp6ubuntu1) but I can't find this release. All I can find is the package located at http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/libdmraid1.0.0.rc15 . Anyone have any idea of where I should go? [20:29] wizzo50: pretty much anything thats not 64 bit [20:29] gartral: you just made my day! ima download it right now! [20:29] I just want to make sure I am not wasting my $$ on a cheap one [20:29] yes, 8.04 is the most recent. good! :) [20:29] distupgrades make me nervous [20:29] THe only way to find out is ask around [20:30] wizzo50: like I said, almost any cpu or motherboard should work just as well with linux as windows, and get a nvidia video card [20:30] hey is it possible to have both a bootsplash and colors on grub at the same time? [20:30] ok, thanks [20:30] wizzo50: if you wanted ideas on what is a good motherboard and cpu in general, ask the people in ##hardware [20:30] ok, I'll go there now thanks [20:30] stealth-: stay away from 64 bit processors <<< so he has to buy an atom or a years old CPU ?? becouse modern ones are all 64 bit capable... [20:30] wizzo50: anytime ;) [20:31] anyone know ath5k? [20:31] erUSUL: well they are not all 64 bit, I meant stay away from the operating systems were you have to download 64 bit stuff [20:31] musicpenguin: is the name of a linux kernel driver [20:31] erUSUL: cause 64 capable and 64 pure are different, right? === CowEyeball_ is now known as CowEyeball [20:32] erUSUL, ok...i installed linux-backports-modules-intrepid ...now what? [20:32] erUSUL: I might have the wrong idea about how 64 bit works..... [20:32] musicpenguin: you have an atheros card supported by that driver ? [20:32] Hi, I need your help with configuration of bluetooth. I installed Ubuntu 9.04 on HP nx6310 and BT is not working... :-( Could you help me anybody? [20:32] stealth-: I run 5 amd-64 bit boxes. They all run quite well. even with package managment, repositories and compiling. There is nothing wrong with 64 bit [20:33] stealth-: there are no desktop pure 64 bit cpu's all are mixed [20:33] erUSUL, i think so...thats what everyone tells me..right now im usning ndiswrapper but i have to modprobe the driver myself or the gui freezes [20:33] stealth-: and what mdm says is quite true i use 64 bit and have no problems [20:34] erUSUL, i just installed linux-backports-modules-intrepid ...do i need to reboot? [20:34] musicpenguin: just modprobe the module and see if it recognices the card and creates the wlan0 [20:34] and like erUSUL said there are no 64 bit only x86 cpus, it would be contrary to making a CISC cpu anyway [20:34] my ubuntu 9.04 just stopped working - it does not boot any more - hdd can be mounted with live system, but there seems to be no obvious rescue option to just make the already installed system boot again. The system seem not to recognize that the hdd is bootable at all. [20:34] musicpenguin: no; no reboot is needed [20:34] mdm | erUSUL: K, thanks for clearing that up, I guess I need to rethink my view on 64 bit with a little googling ;) [20:34] erUSUL, while ndiswrappers is on? [20:34] musicpenguin: no remove nediswrapper first... [20:34] Can anyone help me find a patch release for dmraid 1.0.0rc15? [20:35] erUSUL, i just modprobed it but still have ndis running [20:35] slm [20:35] hi @ all, do u know what the hotkey is to mount the system read-only? something with alt+print+
