[00:00] 8.04 to 8.10 [00:00] and wich one should i install if i want a basic gnome but with nice fonts? (no gdm, no evolution, no ekiga...) [00:00] deany, why #kubuntu? [00:00] kev2121, hmm, well I thought it was [00:01] kev2121, maybe not then. kernel and basic hardware support is the same, the rest are kde apps.... [00:01] nai: check in synaptic or by "aptitude show packagename"; you'll need at least gnome and gnome-core I think but probably they depend on each other; gdm is the login window, are you sure you don't want that? [00:01] Hh why not upgrade to 9? [00:02] bishop, depends on your hardware really [00:02] helmethedd: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-upgrade-ubuntu-8.04-to-ubuntu-8.10-desktop-and-server [00:02] cabrey yep [00:02] helmethedd: But the easiest way is to get the Alternate CD and just upgrade from it. [00:02] Could someone tell me how to find your ip address in the terminal setting? [00:03] hi, whats the best command to copy an entire partition to another disk ? [00:03] kev2121, there are some good kde apps tho, put some of the ubuntu ones to shame.. lets not mention brasero compared to k3b.. [00:03] shunobies: ifconfig [00:03] shunobies, ifconfig [00:03] i planned to do it using a live cd [00:03] kev2121, brasero is a joke. === zorael_ is now known as Zorael [00:03] once clonezilla dont work good with logical partitions [00:03] deany, brasero is fine, it works what else do you want? [00:03] deany, I see.. [00:03] Small question. How safe is it to upgrade a linux version (example to 8.0.4 LTS). I am wondering because if it's not safe, I'd need to do a ghost of my main partition or something close to that in case of a major problem. [00:03] cabrey, for you maybe [00:04] nai: gnome-desktop-environment contains all the extra apps , including web browsing, email, CD burning and ripping, encryption tools, audio and video playback, network and communication tools, document viewers, remote desktop utilities, and much more. [00:04] cabrey, I and at least 5 other people I know it dont [00:04] ouch [00:04] i don't want anything of that [00:04] deany, so, apps do not have the same name? [00:04] (that's why i installed the minimal version so i can only install what i need now) [00:04] LewisSharp: You're in a good place actually, 8.04 is LTS and, well, that's a pretty good place to stay. [00:05] no, I mean to that version. I'm a few version down actually [00:05] I'm not 100% sure which version I am at right now [00:05] LewisSharp: Oh, upgrading TO 8.04 sorry... I didn't read carefully. [00:05] :) [00:05] deany, whatever, i'm not getting into a debate over burning software of all things [00:05] cabrey, and brasero has less features.. It might work for you, thats great. [00:05] ;) [00:05] can someone please help me put grub on an usb attached drive, I have copied the boot (ext3) extended and swap from another drive already [00:05] cabrey, even shell tools work better [00:05] nai: you need gnome-core then [00:06] LewisSharp: lsb_release -a [00:06] nai: run "aptitude show gnome-core" to see what it contains [00:06] my dvd burner, doesn't have burnproof technology, it has some other similar technology so that option is greyed out when i right click "write iso" to disc. any chance its being utilized ?

[00:10] I can't view my routers admin page in browser because it will only work on Internet Explorer not FF what should i do? [00:10] nai: I think you'll need (one of) the libgnome packages if you only want gnome itself; anyway uninstall gnome-core and run "sudo apt-get autoremove" and you're back where you started [00:12] How do I ignore parts/joins/quits in Pidgin? === damaga is now known as thytkiiy [00:12] greets [00:13] the freenode webchat is interesting...

You better ask someone else - try #postfix [01:04] terr_: it loads properly according to dmesg [01:04] terr_: thanks! === mrklean is now known as mrklean2 [01:04] i'm at a loss here, completely confused [01:04] Arkhalis: then your driver is not loaded. look for the driver. lsmod I think [01:05] i'm curious if i "clone a git repository" would that be similar to adding the repos to sources? (would apt inform me of new available updates?) [01:05] nellmathew, no git is a software versioning sysem [01:05] system* [01:06] ah, thanks cabrey [01:06] it is extremely bleeding edge software [01:06] So far I cannot think of why I might need more than a 1GB USB drive. I mean a CD is < 1GB and they do the job. [01:06] Hello guys, I had some problems with mysql-server, I tried to reinstall it from the top, but now it will not let me install it "E: mysql-server-5.1: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [01:06] " any ideas or suggestions, I could ask in mysql chat but since its more an installing error, I think u could help :) [01:06] terr_: so what would i have to do to load the driver? [01:06] I'm thinking to make the USB drive bootable all I might need to do is put grub on it - then lift the boot sector and lay it back down again wiht DD [01:06] lol... game set and match terr_ no need for more than a 1gb [01:07] cabrey: when i type a command in terminal like pidgin - how do i change where that actually points to? [01:07] Arkhalis: hmnm - I've done this b4. [01:07] Arkhalis: bin years [01:07] it's definitely installed with synaptic now but i remember changing where pidgin looks [01:07] bootable usb drive is easier than that [01:07] laeg, it depends on the $PATH [01:07] Arkhalis: really? I've NEVER used USB even [01:07] if in grub I do 'find /boot/grub/stage1' and it returns (hd0,0) and (hd2,0) how do I know which drives or mount points these relate to ? [01:07] there is even an app out there to take the live cd file (even windows xp) and make it bootable on a thumb drive [01:07] hello everyone [01:08] laeg: when you type in "pidgin", bash looks in your $PATH variable and looks in every directory in there, from left to right, until it finds one. You can see what's in $PATH with "echo $PATH". [01:08] does it all for you [01:08] Arkhalis, why do you need >1 GB drive? [01:08] Arkhalis: you will need to 1) install the driver in the mkinitrd helper file - means you need to man mkinitrd [01:08] Arkhalis: or modprobe blah [01:08] cabrey: never said he did... i was saying mine was 2gb but it was extra space [01:08] ahh mk :) [01:08] what? [01:09] does anyone know how to convert .ppt to mpeg 4 or AVI????? [01:09] Arkhalis: there is a file in /etc which has the list of modules the os needs to load. I ran into the problem when I upgraded the kernel and didn't rebuild mkinitrd and I was using a SCSI HDD and it dind't have a driver!!! kernel paniced [01:09] hey cabrey, remember how i was having problems with wired ethernet a couple weeks ago? well yesterday it just suddenly stopped working dissapeared entirely lol [01:09] i want to post on metacafe and youtube [01:09] terr_: i already have it listed in etc/modules [01:09] redsoxking, uh record it while you're playing it back? [01:10] terr_: however, i don't know what this man mkinitrd thing is [01:10] cabrey, i thought u called me. [01:10] redsoxking: not sure what ppt is but have you tried vlc ? it has many transcoding options [01:10] MK-ubuntu, oh no haha [01:10] i have a webpage that has some flash links to MP3 files, but none of my browsers in ubuntu will play the audio, it works fine on a windows machine wth firefox but nothing on ubuntu. any ideas? [01:10] o.O;; lolz [01:10] hipitihop: ppt = Microsoft PowerPoint file [01:10] ppt is a power point presentation [01:10] Arkhalis, is this the 1008ha? [01:10] cabrey: yep [01:10] Hi all. Got a problem with my display. SOMETHING (I don't know what) runs just after login and changes my display to 800x600 instead of the 1680x1050 that's in my xorg.conf file - any ideas? [01:10] Arkhalis, i think i know why [01:11] Arkhalis, there was a recent kernel update [01:11] cabrey: how do I record it...what app? === Arasari is now known as Arasari|away [01:11] cabrey, rww: echo $PATH = /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games - how do i make it find where synaptic would have put pidgin? [01:11] Arkhalis: trust me - its important. Its part of the boot sequence - where the kernel gets extra drivers which are needed but not compiled in. [01:11] Darck1: is System > Preferences > Display set right? [01:11] !info gtk-recordmydesktop | redsoxking [01:11] redsoxking: gtk-recordmydesktop (source: gtk-recordmydesktop): Graphical frontend for recordmydesktop. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3.7.2-2ubuntu2 (jaunty), package size 79 kB, installed size 564 kB [01:11] cabrey: thanks [01:11] laeg, are you using your compiled pidgin? [01:11] ubottu:thanks [01:11] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [01:11] rww, that's what I thought but I was never aware those could be made into mpeg4 or similar formats [01:11] Yup. I'm using nvidia-settings for that [01:12] cabrey: my dmesg shows it there, and it's in etc/modules but not in my ifconfig.... terr_: i don't doubt it's important... i just don't know what you mean by man mkiniwhatever >< lol [01:12] lol [01:12] laeg: "which pidgin" will show where pidgin is installed. Ubuntu's default location is /usr/bin/pidgin [01:12] Seesh - $8/1Gb, $10/2GB. I might as well splurge!!!! But what a WASTE [01:12] Arkhalis, did you recompile the kernel for the 2.6.28-13 update? [01:12] recompile the module* [01:12] !dontzap > Um_cara_qualquer (Please see the private message from the bot) [01:12] Arkhalis: man gives you docs [01:13] cabrey: would the kernet update automatically? [01:13] kernel [01:13] Arkhalis, if you used update-manager or updated using aptitude/apt-get [01:13] cabrey: not the compiled version, the past few hours i've been trying to uninstall it - last think i did was a config, make and uninstall from /usr/bin/pidgin-2.5.5 [01:13] Arkhalis: what does lsmod show? [01:14] laeg, if you used --prefix during ./configure, you can just delete the folder [01:14] cabrey:alright, well i have already recompiled the source and did sudo make install and it errored out [01:14] Arkhalis, can you pastebin the error? [01:14] terr_: i would pastebin it but i can't get internet on the laptop right now lol [01:14] hmm [01:14] cabrey: what do you mean during configure, i installed the latest version with synaptic? [01:14] Arkhalis: ugghh. [01:14] Arkhalis, use a flash drive or something [01:15] cabrey, terr_: give me a bit to copy paste and transfer to this computer so i can pastebin... they will be on the same pastebin though [01:15] Arkhalis: I had that problem with the mkinitrd - and my servers were down. it wasn't just the kernel that paniced [01:15] laeg, no i'm talking about the one you compiled. [01:15] hey guys [01:15] /usr/bin/pidgin [01:15] I will pastebin lsmod, lshw, ifconfig, and the error when i sudo make install k? [01:15] laeg, ok. you have one compiled version of pidgin from a while ago and one recently installed via apt, correct? [01:15] Arkhalis: just us lsmod while root - the driver should be listed. If not try modprobe blah [01:16] cabrey, rww: which pidgin = /usr/bin/pidgin [01:16] i have a webpage that has some flash links to MP3 files, but none of my browsers in ubuntu will play the audio, it works fine on a windows machine wth firefox but nothing on ubuntu. any ideas? [01:16] cabrey: yes but i did a conf, make and uninstall on the compiled version a few mins ago [01:16] cabrey: then i removed and re-added the apt one [01:16] now pidgin = not found [01:16] wait shit [01:16] does anyone know of any software to broadcast a desktop over streaming video or something? [01:16] ok so, theyres a stream that plays with flash. but we all know how much flash sucks. I really want to take the stream and play it with VLC. would anyone be willing to help me decompile the SWF and find the source video? [01:16] cabrey: yeah, not found - used to run but was bugged [01:17] laeg, run sudo aptitude remove pidgin [01:17] because i have no idea how to do that and its killing me [01:17] rg [01:17] cabrey: it's doing it, bear in mind the source code is still in /opt/pidgin-2.5.5 in case it's relevant [01:17] pikeshouse88: ya - I f8ing hate flash too! [01:17] I recently installed the newest version of Ubuntu. I then uninstalled the embedded version of OpenOffice. Now I would like to install OpenOffice 3.1. I've downloaded OpenOffice, but don't understand the instructions for installation. Can someone help? [01:17] other than gtk-gnutella, are there any decent p2p programs for gnome/gtk? [01:17] hey, quick question. so i update my repo lists, but for some reason it never asks if i want to upgrade to OpenOffice3.0. why (or more importantly) how do you upgrade? [01:18] terr_: would you be able to help? [01:18] gmcm, go to Add/Remove, and install it that way. [01:18] Ok, I'll try that.

Every time I log on my desktop gets reset to 800x600 and I have no idea why [01:22] Arkhalis: any luck? What does lsmod show? [01:23] pastebinning in one sec sorry [01:23] I did a cat /var/log/syslog to step through everything in there but I can't work out what's happening [01:24] <`Dave`> Can someone tell me how to load programs without using the terminal please [01:24] cabrey: sudo apt-get autoclean [01:24] complete [01:24] alt+f2 [01:25] Darck1: check your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 [01:25] <`Dave`> ty Darck1 [01:25] yw [01:25] Thanks terr_ that files a new one to me [01:25] I'll look now [01:25] terr_, cabrey: http://paste.ubuntu.com/201781/ shows error for make install on driver at the bottom cabrey also everything else too lol [01:25] Is there a better sound driver for an iMac 7,1's card than the Realtek ALC889A? I really need to configure the bass levels in alsamixer, however this driver only gives me Master and PCM. [01:26] um... I don't see a /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 [01:26] Darck1: might be a different version. that is what mine is. Also I configured dual heads in so I needed to learn that stuff. [01:27] Darck1, you sounds like your x.org config [01:27] Darck1: have you looked at Xorg.0.log? [01:27] what's the difference between modules and drivers? [01:27] entropy: sorry. After the latest RIAA crap - we need to boycott all big label music and buy ONLY from artists. [01:28] Okay - no I haven't looked at Xorg.0.log - looking now [01:28] gggg: in Ubuntu, drivers are loaded as modules [01:28] you see the pastebin terr_? [01:28] and cabrey [01:28] gggg: drivers live in modules [01:28] so device drivers and modules are same? [01:28] last but one line shows nvidia setting 800x600 [01:29] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "800x600" [01:29] sacamano: Do I need to select the entire OpenOffice.org package when installing in order to get the automatic updates, or can I just select the functions I want from OpenOffice (like Database)? [01:29] BUT - this isn't in my config file and I don't know WHAT is setting that resolution [01:29] if it happens after login it should be a user config I think; I have e.g. ~/.nvidia-settings-rc and ~/.screenrc; maybe you have something there that overrides xorg.conf, is that possible? just guessing [01:29] writing device driver and writing modules are similar? [01:29] Darck1: ^^ [01:29] thanks VCoolio - I'll look there [01:31] Hmmm... I do have a .nvidia-settings-rc file that got changed 06/15/09 but I don't see anything in there that changes resolution [01:32] The recent kernel upgrade in jaunty to 2.6.28-13 broke my poulsbo drivers from the ubuntu-mobile ppa (I'm on a dell-mini-12). If I run from 2.6.28-13, I have to run in vesa mode with low res. I can boot from the previous kernel (2.6.28-11) but then my broadcom wireless drivers don't load for some reason. Any ideas how to get out of this situation? [01:33] I have .screenrc but it's empty [01:33] anything terr_? [01:33] Darck1: try creating a new user, and see if the problem remains [01:34] Arkhalis: just getting to it now. [01:34] aha sorry and thanks [01:34] danbhfile - I'm fairly certain that if I log in as a different user I won't get the error, kinda loathe to do that while I have you all trying to help me [01:34] :-p [01:34] Arkhalis: what if? [01:35] hey guys i need help with my speakers [01:35] what if what?

[01:36] need help. with GNOME, where on this server will i found? [01:36] terr_: Yeah, 1008ha [01:37] Arkhalis: I'm looking for a real cheap one! [01:37] fattybutterpance: I haven't tried a live USB but presumably wireless would work -- wireless worked fine when I installed jaunty fresh and it worked fine until the recent kernel upgrade. It also works fine now (with the latest kernel) but my graphics are broken and I can't seem to downgrade. [01:38] Arkhalis: how fast is the atom verses a 1.3GHz tualatin core celron? [01:38] Darck1: Does the login screen have the correct resolution? [01:38] it's decent at full speed but since it's made to conserve battery life it runs slower 90% of the time [01:39] Arkhalis: product: Attansic Technology Cor <--- is that the missing nic? === ian_ is now known as ianloic [01:39] geirha: Yes it does [01:39] that's why I think it's something that's happening in my logon [01:39] yeah... it's actually an ar8132 [01:39] Arkhalis: how many bogomips?

[01:45] Darck1: I remember a guy having your problem, stuck at 800x600; it helped him [01:45] yes [01:45] and i ahve installed it [01:45] okay - I've unplugged and replugged - I'll restart X [01:45] brb [01:45] Arkhalis, run make clean then just make and post that output. btw if you have another computer running 2.6.28-13, you can use that [01:45] aw shit [01:46] Arkhalis: you'll note lsmod does not show the driver. try this: locate ar8132 / locate atl1e modprobe ar8132 / modprobe atl1e (should be the same name as in /etc/modules) [01:46] all the stuff I've done has made me lose my "Zap" [01:46] anybody remember what the command is to re-enable zap? [01:46] !dontzap | Darck1 [01:46] Darck1: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect.

(Might not be quite correct - been a while since I've done this) [01:47] terr_: modprobe on ar8132 errored... atl1e seemed fine it listed a bunch and the modprobe had no error [01:47] Arkhalis: ya - I see. [01:47] try make clean [01:48] then your make sequence [01:48] pastebin it! [01:48] damn - I forget the make sequence [01:48] ok i will one sec [01:48] should i uninstall wine and reinstal it ? [01:48] cabrey: you there mate? i sudo aptitude remove pidgin, sudo apt-get autocleanand then tried sudo aptitude install pidgin but it says bash: /usr/local/bin/pidgin: No such file or directory [01:48] Arkhalis: do this for me: cd /var/log; dmesg and tell me the bogomips [01:48] fattybutterpance: Thanks -- I think that's a different graphics driver though. I found this -- http://mok0.wordpress.com/2009/05/25/ubuntu-on-the-dell-mini-10-2/ -- which has a comment that refers to exactly what I'm experiencing. Unfortunately, the solution (install psb-kernel-source) isn't working as I'm getting error building the module. [01:49] laeg, have you tried logging out and back in again? [01:49] donny: Sure you got the right directory? [01:49] wich directory ? were the wow files are ? [01:50] donny: Try this. In the terminal type wine followed by a space, then drag the file installer.exe onto the terminal window, then run the command [01:51] i think it workes [01:51] cabrey: before or after install? [01:51] terr_: where do i find the bogomips in dmesg? [01:51] laeg, after [01:51] Arkhalis: at the top [01:51] donny: Then you had probably "cd"-ed to the wrong directory earlier [01:51] thank you geirha [01:51] cabrey: when i install pidgin it also doesn't put any shortcuts in the apps menu like it used to in case that's relevant.. [01:51] whats -ed? [01:53] donny: -ed as in past tense [01:53] My web server runs as www:www, I have user alpha, and beta, the server needs to read the files of the user, but I dont want user alpha to ready betas files or vice verse, how can i set this up? [01:53] hi all. Is it possible to install ubuntu to an existing ext4 partition? [01:54] Arkhalis: damn - I can't find my goat book! [01:54] o lol i knew that well thank you [01:54] tried that and a few other things besides - no dice, still resets to 800x600 [01:54] umm.. how the heck do i get outta zoom desktop in compiz? =X [01:54] BrianV: Well, yes, but why not just let the install program repartion and re-format the space for you? [01:54] Darck1: did you also unplug on the monitor side? That was crucial to the guy I remembered; should have mentioned before; http://cafelinux.org/forum/index.php?topic=25.0;msg=159 ; otherwise I'm out of ideas [01:54] usr13: because I have an existing fedora 11 partition there I want to overwrite [01:54] BrianV: Is it empty? (no files on it?) [01:55] usr13: the problem is, the installer isn't picking up on my ext4 partitions [01:55] How could that matter? If it's unplugged at one side then... well... the computer won't know that it's unplugged at the other [01:55] BrianV: Delete the partiton. [01:55] Arkhalis: make sequence: configure; make; make install\ [01:55] Arkhalis: make sequence: configure; make; make install [01:55] nvm, just needed to click desktop and super+r, figures..

The installer just sees it as one big unrecognized lump of disk [01:56] darck1: [quote] how does that make effing sense [/quote] read the link [01:56] sorry, got the fiance yaking in my ear what does that mean and that [01:56] lol [01:56] can't think lol [01:56] that is, it doesn't recognize the individual partitions [01:56] I just did [01:56] okay - trying again [01:56] laeg, gnome sometimes takes a little to update its menu system [01:56] BrianV: which version of Ubuntu? [01:56] the dmesg scrolls too far and the top is too far up to read the bogomips === kompulsa_dot_com is now known as Tetracomm [01:56] sebsebseb: 9.04 [01:57] BrianV: and the Live CD won't detect the Fedora Ext4 hum [01:57] Arkhalis: NEVER but NEVER say "yacking". tyr dmesg | less [01:57] also... [01:57] Arkhalis: treat em nice! they can make your life miserable [01:57] BrianV: Ext4 is a bit bad in 9.04 anyway, since no 2.6.30 kernel from the repo as an update and so on [01:57] for some reason when i save my make sequence into a text doc [01:57] sebsebseb: yes. Although now that I think about it... I used LVM, and if I recall, Ubuntu needs extra packages to use LVM [01:57] text file that is [01:57] BrianV: Ubuntu only do security updates you see, so 2.6.30 does not count [01:57] transfer to this pc it comes up gibberish so i can't pastebin it this time [01:57] it's odd [01:58] Arkhalis: dmesg | grep bogo [01:58] sebsebseb: hmm... that's a problem then. The Fedora install is troublesome, and I was hoping to upgrade easily. It locks up every time I try to backup my disk [01:58] Arkhalis: what country are you in? [01:58] BrianV: well with the default kernel in 9.04 people can get a lockup when deleting data, it's in the release notes [01:58] okay - unplugged and re-plugged, restarting x [01:58] us [01:58] !notes | BrianV [01:58] BrianV: Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) release notes can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/ReleaseNotes [01:58] oh - working the late shift then [01:59] how do i apt-get install a list of packages from a text file? [01:59] BrianV: Fedora 11 uses Ext4 by default, and it's meant to be pretty good there :) also Ubuntu 9.10 released at the end of October will be using by default [01:59] sebsebseb: ok. Well, I guess my strategy then is to try to get the disk to read with the liveCD so I can back it up. [01:59] yeah work at a bar [01:59] gmap put #/bin/bash as the 1st line and execute it. chmod +c blah ./blah [02:00] sebsebseb: then I will reformat to ext3, and start from scratch [02:00] chmod +x blah [02:00] gmap, for pkg in `cat /path/to/file`; do apt-get install $pkg; done [02:00] Well it was a lovely little ride - but it didn't help [02:00] gmap, but that's assuming each package is on it's own line [02:00] BrianV: how about starting from scratch with at least / in Ext4, at least then Ubuntu is faster to boot. [02:00] will Intel Core2Duo E2180 run ubuntu fine? [02:00] Arkhalis: I'd like a beer [02:00] BrianV: keep data on Ext3 for now [02:00] ok thx Ahadiel [02:01] sebsebseb: because /home is already on EXT4 from the Fedora 11 install [02:01] I hope this is the channel for people that just did stupid things. I just ran gzip on a directory without using tar first. Is there anyway to unzip all of the .gz files in all of the subdirectories at once? [02:01] BrianV: right, but you made it sound like you were going to start over from scratch with all Ext3 [02:01] Arkhalis: what is the cheapest eeepc you have come across? [02:01] gmap, np [02:01] sebsebseb: I may have to. If EXT4 support isn't ready in Ubuntu, no sense keeping it [02:02] terr_ 900a ebay 150$ [02:02] I've got an error when I try to uninstall things that reads "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [02:02] E: _cache->open() failed, please report." when I enter that into the terminal I get the following error, "dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0004' near line 14 package 'labyrinth': EOF during value field 'Description' (missing final newline)". What do I do? [02:02] will: probably look for an -r option in man gzip? [02:02] BrianV: when doing another distro, it's probably usaully better to start over from scratch well for stuff such as / [02:02] new [02:02] hi! gye [02:02] sebsebseb: well, / I would have. But /home I was trying to save [02:02] BrianV: delete the Fedora / and start over with an Ubuntu / [02:02] will: or use find and tell it to unzip them [02:02] Ahadiel: would this work? "$apt-get install | cat pkg.list" [02:02] gogeta: a 701 is fine too [02:02] wher's I can get Ubuntu.fr [02:02] sebsebseb: that's the problem. The disk has a / and a /home partition, both EXT4. The installer doesn't see them [02:02] so - something is setting my rez to 800x600 when I log in... but we don't know what... [02:03] terr 900a has a atom but the celroms are not bad [02:03] sebsebseb: it just sees one big unrecognized partition [02:03] gmap, that doesn't make sense. You would pipe the output of cat pkg.list to apt-get if anything. [02:03] will: confirmed, -r exists for gzip [02:03] BrianV: the installer right, but manual install is pretty limited anyway [02:03] Ubuntu fr Please I want Link [02:03] gmap, I'm not sure if apt-get reads from stdin [02:03] BrianV: what about gparted? system > administaration > partition editor [02:03] terr i can get 5 hrs off this 3 cell battery without wifi on [02:03] 3 with [02:03] sebsebseb: checking... [02:03] Ahadiel: ok just wondering, your other way is working anyway. [02:03] gmap: dpkg --set-selections < path/to/file [02:04] alright, i give up... no wired ethernet for me [02:04] gogeta: I'm just going to use it as a web server [02:04] terr why you ask [02:04] oh [02:04] Mike_lifeguard: I've tried gunzip *.gz -r and that is telling me no such file or directory. [02:04] how do i turn off wifi on my eee h1000 (fn+f2 dont work) ? [02:04] terr_: what was that dmesg grep bogo what? [02:04] gogeta: I don't even need a KB and screen. [02:04] gmap, that's good. [02:04] sebsebseb: Gparted sees them [02:04] will: no, give it the directory, and use -r [02:04] Arkhalis: I just want to know what the bogoips are on the atom cpu. [02:04] BrianV: ok well this is how I do it :) well except last time when I tried the alternate CD out for my first time [02:04] will: gunzip -r /path/to/directory [02:04] terr acer one or a eee ha more storage space unless you add a sd card or usb hdd [02:04] I want to Install Winrar because I have problem tu unzip rar [02:05] gogeta: I'd be happy with a broken one!!! LOL [02:05] yeah just tell me what to type and i will tell you before i head out for work [02:05] install unrar [02:05] BrianV: step 1 set up the partitions in Gparted step 2 follow the installer through and finnish off in manual install, ticking format on the partitions and telling it what to use them as [02:05] samorai: install unrar instead [02:05] gogeta: 8GBN is lots [02:05] Darck1: Just to make sure, go to System -> Preferences -> Display properties, set the correct resolution, click apply and close, then log out and back in again [02:05] does anyone know how to install alice on ubuntu 9.04? [02:05] gogeta: 8GB is lots [02:05] cabrey: if you are still here in a bit i will get a pastebin for you when i get to work... when i have wireless access [02:05] Mike: I'm retarded. Thank you. [02:05] lets switch to privat messags for this [02:05] samorai: apt-get install unrar [02:06] will: no more than most people ^_^ [02:06] terr_: was it grep | bogo or something? [02:06] thanks i test it [02:06] BrianV: so much more control with gparted [02:06] so here is the thing. i want to install bouml 4.12.* and that is only in the intrepid and jaunty version.... and in their sources..... [02:06] Arkhalis, whats a bit? i'll be on here for a while but not straight through the night :P [02:06] how do i turn off wifi on my eee h1000 (fn+f2 dont work) ? [02:06] does anyone know how to install alice on ubuntu 9.04? [02:06] Arkhalis: join us here: #gogeta [02:06] sebsebseb: hmm. except they are LVM. So the installer won't recognize them [02:06] can i add the sources to my hardy heron and do the install? [02:06] Mike: that worked perfectly. Thank you so much. Have a great evening. [02:06] BrianV: maybe Ubuntu don't have LVM yet or something, Ubuntu is behind Fedora here and there always, it seems [02:07] thanks It's good [02:07] BrianV: yeah Fedora is more cutting edge, later stuff before Ubuntu [02:07] it's too fast to ask anything! [02:07] sebsebseb: LVM has been around for 10 years. I imagine it has it, it's just not in the installer for some reason [02:07] cabrey: sometimes gnome takes time to update the menu ok, but you also think that after a relog it will reconigse pidgin as a command? [02:07] i am there [02:07] BrianV: ah ha maybe you need the alternate CD for LVM [02:07] cabrey: can't i even goto pidgin wherever it is and open it to see if it runs? [02:07] checking .xsession-errors file and I find where it's changing the resolution, I've just got to find out why and how [02:07] hello ubuntuers [02:08] hi [02:08] laeg, it's in /usr/bin/pidgin [02:08] does anyone know how to install alice on ubuntu 9.04?

[02:09] infinity217: 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. :-) [02:10] BrianV: the alternate CD has some advanced features that the standard desktop CD does not have [02:10] does anyone know how to install alice on ubuntu 9.04? [02:10] infinity try this site [02:10] one sec [02:10] RkyRaccoon: what's that? [02:10] cabrey: it works when i open it like that directly [02:10] Arkhalis: /join #gogeta [02:10] sebsebseb: its a program for learning programing [02:10] Has anybody had any luck swapping the mappings of Alt/Option and Command on the apple keyboards on 9.04? I've read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppleKeyboard, which indicates that Xmodmap no longer works and you need to use the Keyboard Preferences configuration tool. I've tried that, and it doesn't seem to work. Checking "Left Alt is swapped with Left Win" just causes them *both* to be mapped to Alt. [02:10] infinity217: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Fixes#Hotkeys [02:10] yes man I get it so Fine [02:10] sebsebseb: i need it for my computer science class [02:10] sebsebseb: ok, I may have to download and try that [02:10] I move [02:11] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC [02:11] sebsebseb: logging out [02:11] laeg, have you tried logging in/out? [02:11] sebsebseb: thanks for the help [02:11] sully, yes i've done it [02:11] RkyRaccoon: ah ok [02:11] BrianV: np good luck [02:11] hey guys, I'm trying to transfer files from a windows machine to my Jaunty machine on a crossover ethernet cable. I open network, Windows Network, WORKGROUP, and it gives an error message "Unable to retrieve share list from server" Am I doing it wrong?

[02:11] terr_: i have to go to work however i will log in later to get the bogoips for you and answer your questions while i am at work whre i have wireless access [02:12] cabrey: What did you need to do? [02:12] Nope, Synaptic? [02:12] i tried it too complicated, can i do it without hotkey? [02:12] is 5.1.30really5.0.75-0ubuntu10.2 [02:12] is mysql really 5.1.30 or is it 5.0.75 [02:12] i'm confused [02:12] Apollo2366: yes, and after installing "sudo /etc/init.d/samba start" [02:12] cabrey: brb :) [02:13] Im using compiz and I can't figure out how to group similar items in the bottom panel, anyone helpe me out? I want it to behave similar to windows in how if I open a new browser window it will group it next to one that is already open [02:13] hi guys, I need to compile a network driver for my kernel. What files do I need to grab? [02:13] aside from the module source code [02:13] sully, i changed the 'Alt/Win key behavior' to 'Left Alt is swapped with Left Win' [02:14] ArkoldThos: hey - thanks === LFC|Doppp is now known as Doppp [02:14] sully, my layout is 'Generic 105-key (Intl) PC' [02:14] i have installed the eee kernel but nothing wiyh yhe wifi! [02:15] cabrey: I did that, and it just caused them to *both* be mapped to Alt. [02:15] * sully tries doing it and restarting X [02:15] i use 8.10 with eee kernel i tried UNR but the hotkeys dont work too [02:15] i tied it live UNR [02:16] Unsurprisingly, that did not work.

[02:21] oh good god can somebody PLEASE help me - just tell me what log files I can paste or whatever... but this is driving me crazy. Somewhere between the login screen and loading padevchooser it's changing the resolution to 800x600 [02:21] diffNewuser: INX has tutorials for beginnings, you can listen to shoutcast streams, chat, gmail, graphical links browers and even watch a video in framebuffer as well as view pictures [02:21] rm -r ./* [02:21] it was retarded [02:21] alrite.... i have hardy heron and i want to install bouml 4.12. in the hardy heron universe there is onlu 3.* , but in jaunty universe, the latest version is present, how do i install the latest version [02:21] Hey ya'll :) [02:22] wenko, your going to be saving yourself a lot of time if you backup and reinstall [02:22] I'm getting this http://paste.ubuntu.com/201795/ error when downloading packages, can someone tell me exactly what i need to take out [02:22] hey guys, I need help with this realtek driver compiling [02:22] wenko, especially if /home is on its own partition [02:22] cabrey: Hm. After I set that option, xmodmap reports that Super_L is mapped to *both* mod1 and mod4. Then, running "xmodmap -e 'remove mod1 = Super_L'" gets everything working the way I want. I find this very strange, and in direct contradiction to the Apple Keyboard page's claim that xmodmap isn't useful anymore. I'm somewhat confused, but everything is working, so... [02:22] cabrey: Thanks. [02:22] Titan8990_: Thats what I am thinking...but im lazy [02:22] and it's likely I don't have the correct stuff installed [02:22] is like most of ubuntu users use the same partition for all :p [02:22] frig just another reason for me to just go build a whole new system [02:22] sully, heh np, the right alt/super key didn't do that for me :/ [02:22] I am considering upgrading the video card. radeon cards used to have bad driver support on linux. are they still bad?

[03:54] i've read all i can find on it and I cant figure it out [03:54] entropy: Ubuntu doesn't use su. Use sudo instead.

[03:55] Aacron: do what OpensourceFTW says - you want something like /fixmbr from memory [03:55] ubuntu sees it as two seperate HDs that are empty :( [03:55] Aacron: I've read about that problem somewhere.... I think it was on the FAQ of the Supergrub wiki. I'll see if I can find it. [03:56] if i do that then I lose ubuntu :( [03:56] entropy: Alright, I must not understand the question then, but glad you figured it out. [03:56] grub to boot ubuntu anyhow..

[04:37] hello, Im planning to buy me a new lap. it is Acer Aspire 5735Z-423, and it is not on the list of ubuntu, does anyone know if it is compatible??? [04:37] !eol [04:37] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [04:37] Hi, is there any documentation on how to set the path on ubuntu or in which file the path is stored? [04:37] Apollo2366: Is your internet connection ok? [04:37] Zosh, hold on [04:37] Apollo2366: ok [04:37] Zosh it will take a lot longer and theres often the risk of probs when you skip a dist [04:37] usr13, yeah why? [04:37] hmm [04:38] Zosh: I think it would be best in the long run to get your hands on another CD [04:38] Zosh: get the latest LTS version, 8.10, and then you can upgrade to 9.04. [04:38] IS THERE a way in ubuntu to change the tittle of the panel options (Applications, PLacce & System ) ? I want to make then shorter so i can dock more apps to my panel [04:38] Zosh you dont have a 1 gb or bigger memory stick? [04:38] I dont want to end up with stupid virows X3 [04:38] Zosh, try "sudo apt-get upgrade" [04:38] n2diy 8.10 isnt a LTS ver [04:38] koshari: I was afraid of that, can' find my notes. [04:38] ramael: whats a virows? [04:39] Apollo2366: nothing happened.. [04:39] hmm wait I have an extra dvd-rw [04:39] might wrok [04:39] <--- needs info on how to install a PCTEL modem [04:39] what burner should I use? [04:39] what burner should I use?

I want to make then shorter so i can dock more apps to my panel [04:40] and use brasero if it's already installed [04:40] err it's not.. [04:40] JayX: Right click on the panel and select "Add to Panel". There's a small "menu bar" [04:40] hello I setup ubuntu server with a non raided /boot directory and a raided / and /home directory with lvm so its raided and on lvm...On first boot it fails saying there appears to be more than one degraded raid devices...anyone know how to fix? [04:40] Hi, is there any documentation on how to set the path (persistently) on ubuntu or in which file the path is stored? [04:41] usr13: as I understand it midnight commander is a full file manager really, all I want is dumping out a directory structure in this format: http://docs.python.org/distutils/setupscript.html#installing-package-data [04:41] i dont think there is a problem with the disks. [04:41] koshari: hmm I'll try.. :( [04:41] I think its an installer bug [04:41] JayX: er, sorry, it's called "main menu" [04:41] cornwall: now i know how to add an app, i want more viewing space! [04:41] Zosh you can use unetbootin to copy the iso onto the stick [04:41] Zosh, well there should be something... if there's not, try finding a program in the repos if you can [04:41] using the 9.04 server disk [04:41] Apollo2366: how? [04:42] thanks cornwall and bastidrazor, I had to remove libempathys, gtks, and commons too, but it eventually reverted. Yahoo still doesn't work, but I'll keep messing with it. Maybe pidgin plus the new server will be the answer for a while, but empathy should be working. [04:42] I can't use synaptic and sudo apt-get install wont install anything [04:42] JayX: This isn't adding an app. the "Main Menu" is just a little Ubuntu symbol that will make things much more consolidated [04:42] hi all, does anyone know of a site that publishes ubuntu or linux news and stuff like that (like pcworld is for windows) [04:42] cornwall: i want to change t5he tittle of the thing and make it shoerter eg. i want to change the "applications: to "apps" [04:42] Zosh, hmm that sucks. Well just download the iso for now.

[04:44] n2diy__: i want horizontal view, not vertical [04:44] i think the installer uses dmraid [04:44] its not hardware raid if thats what you mean [04:45] JayK right click on the panel, then properties, and you can adjust the location. [04:45] Zosh, and keep asking back here. Someone more knowlegable than I will help you out. [04:45] bastidrazor: Yes, I had pidgin working with the new server. I was just trying to move to empathy.

[05:25] mbostwick: try removing them and reinstalling [05:26] unitheory: I will google for swap, ty [05:26] ctmjr: tried that :( didn't work [05:26] ecret, i mean you need a large swap partition [05:26] I am having an issue with Brasero and buring a DVD image.. [05:26] unitheory: oh ok. but using that swap partition, I can make a fake ram drive? Is there a program or keyword that would help? [05:27] hello [05:27] ecret, linux uses swap as ram if it needs to [05:27] i have problem about crontab [05:27] ecret, That is essentially what swap is, fake ram. [05:27] I want to boot from my external hard drive but GRUB gives an error 18. What can I do? [05:27] ecret: swap is just a term for using a portion of your hard drive as ram... slower but allows for things like 20gb of ram [05:27] anybody [05:28] ecret: if you google for linux or ubuntu swap there are plenty of places out on google that tell you how to adjust your swap size [05:28] i have problem about crontab [05:28] I don't want to start a flamewar here, but I"ve heard that Fedora is more cutting edge than Ubuntu. But I've been using fedora for the last day or so and it seems rather clunky graphically [05:28] the script runs fine manually, but it is not running when you've scheduled it to run from cron. [05:28] I am having an issue with Brasero and buring a DVD image.. If I do not have the File/Image Checksum plugins selected, the ISO fails to burn to the DVD... it starts to burn the image and then completes the burn and finalizes the disc in like 5 secs... [05:28] ah ok . thanks i will do that! [05:28] I'm running two video cards, a gtx-260 and a 9500gt, both nvidia, with 4 monitors [05:28] stan_man_can, please stay on-topic [05:28] How nicely will ubuntu handle it? [05:29] ecret: good luck, and come back for questions if you have any ^^ [05:29] i thought i had to buy a 20 gig ram system . i am very glad. thanks unitheory,ahadiel,arkhalis [05:29] !ask|rizal [05:29] rizal: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [05:29] brb [05:29] stan_man_can, : fedora's pretty crap from a multimedia/gamer perspective. you should try ubuntu [05:29] loof that video is a bit usefullll for me, but i need to know the bash file, or how to create n ad-hoc network so i can use my iphone 3g [05:29] ecret: i do have to say lol to that.... 4 5gb sticks of ram could be pricey =p [05:30] ok [05:30] i have problem about crontab [05:30] the script runs fine manually, but it is not running when you've scheduled it to run from cron. [05:30] jayx: try google :p [05:30] loof: I'm rather new to linux and went with Fedora because I use CentOS for my servers, how different are the two? === Derander_ is now known as Derander [05:30] hikenboot: sudo dmraid -ay will activate [05:30] loof: I'm not necessarily looking to play games, i'm just looking for something that might be a bit more stable and run a bit smoother than fedora is [05:31] i have an annoying problem, after installing the D-Link DWA-130 driver via ndiswrapper, Ubuntu keeps locking up when i try to use the driver for more than half an hour, does anyone know whats going wrong? [05:31] fedora/centos are basically aimed more at serverside use, ubuntu is more of a desktop os (just in general)/what a lot of development time is spent on [05:31] stan_man_can, burn a liveCD .. if you can get them set up in the LiveCD then you're all set. [05:32] WIGGMPk: I can't fix brasero, but I can help you burn a DVD from the cli if you wish... [05:32] stan_man_can, : have you had stability issues with fedora? and have you tried compiz in fedora? [05:32] losher: with growisofs? [05:33] WIGGMPk: exactly! [05:33] losher: isnt Brasero using the same thing? just a front end? [05:33] ok looking through some logs I found this http://pastebin.com/m38fac638 [05:33] loof: what about differences in how things are done, as in fedora/centos using yum, and ubuntu using aptitude, is it comparing apples to oranges...two completley different things... or is it comparing a granny smith to a macintosh apple... same thing just different name [05:33] gold_bullet: is the dwa-130 internal or external? [05:33] * Gold_bullet waits [05:33] external usb drive [05:33] What GNOME program determines the keyboard layout? [05:33] is there an app in gnome that i can use to pick up hex/RGB of colors under the cursor? [05:34] losher: its not that it doesnt 'work', its just annoying to have to wait that extra 30secs to create the file checksum, then to wait the 10mins for the image checksum to complete at the end is retarded [05:34] arkhalis: yeah...was going to also have to get a new mb/cpu too as mine just holds two sticks. i like linux [05:34] stan_man_can, : depends on if you consider yum vs aptitude to be like comparing apples to oranges or comparing different types of apples :P [05:34] hello! [05:34] nellmathew: 0_o ? what do u want to do? [05:34] BePhantom: was your question answered? [05:34] Gold_bullet: Hmm... perhaps a power or heat issue? i haven't the slightest [05:34] arkhalis, the d-link works fine for 30 minutes or a little bit more, but after that a severe system lockdown [05:34] anyone know where i can get a vmware image of ubuntu to run in vmplayer [05:34] mikepark, no [05:34] nellmathew: many 'color chooser' dialogs in many apps have a 'eyedropper' that lets you do that. [05:34] and yes i already googled [05:34] Gold_bullet: have you used it on a windows system for longer than 30 mins? [05:34] BePhantom: gconftool -s --type bool /apps/update-notifier/auto_launch false [05:34] i'm on ircII, can anyone see this? [05:35] arkhalis, yes, hours on end [05:35] WIGGMPk: you're preaching to the converted.... :-) [05:35] deagle: yes. [05:35] JayX, yeah what he said, i wanted an eyedropper =X lol [05:35] :D thanks! [05:35] ecret: glad we could help you save money then [05:35] thanks Dr_Willis [05:35] andrewjackson, download the iso and install from that [05:35] mikepark, will that enable the old intrepid like update alert icon? [05:35] ok [05:35] stan_man_can, : if you consider it to be comparing apples to oranges, then ubuntu is pretty different from fedora, if you consider it like comparing types of apples, then it's not really that different. i'd say look at some videos of ubuntu on youtube and see if what they show are more along the lines of what you're looking for in an OS [05:35] losher: dont follow ya..? the converted AKA CLI? [05:35] arkhalis, the problem arose after i installed the latest Nvidea driver for my chipset [05:35] does anyone know how I can restart my window manager from outside (tty) without restarting GDM (i'm running openbox and I need to do openbox --restart) [05:36] BePhantom: it should [05:36] WIGGMPk: I just meant that there's no point complaining to me, because I completely agree with you. You could file a bug report, I suppose... [05:36] i did export DISPLAY=:0.0 and tried it but got nothing :( [05:36] mikepark, thank you! [05:36] Gold_bullet: unfortunately i haven't the slightest clue why that would happen >< other than an overheating issue but for an external drive that seems rediculous... [05:36] deagle: from a console? [05:36] yep [05:36] don't think that'll work [05:36] losher: and have them not fix it lol.. i heard some things about the debian team forking off of the cdrecord project and not doing as well because of some dispute.. however I also hear about the ubuntu burning team changing things... [05:37] arkhalis, perhaps an incompalability issue with linux for my modle of d-link? [05:37] losher: just sucks the user's got caught up in some drama [05:37] Gold_bullet: Hmm, the chipset would make sense with overheating but i doubt thats linked to the dwa-130 [05:37] you could start the X session with just an xterm and run from there [05:37] BePhantom: you're welcome [05:37] arkhalis, well, the usb ports are bart of my chipset [05:37] *part [05:37] the script runs fine manually, but it is not running when you've scheduled it to run from cron. [05:37] Gold_bullet: naa, if it's the wireless key i am thinking of, little black and gray one [05:37] losher: honestly they should of stayed with nautilus-cd-create or whatever.. but this is getting off topic lol.. thanks for the thoughts.. ill just use growisofs for now [05:37] yes [05:37] arkhalis, yah, its that one [05:38] Gnea: i just don't want to have the programs running die on me :( is there any way to prevent that? [05:38] deagle: otherwise you'd need to allow X to receive remote requests, which it doesn't by default unless you've changed that behavior via gdm's config [05:38] Gold_bullet: I have the same one somewhere, used to use it for adhoc networking lol (don't ask) [05:38] deagle: yes, run e16 or e17 [05:38] wussat? [05:38] Wake me when someone answers my question... [05:38] arkhalis, mine sucks...badly [05:38] !e17 [05:38] Enlightenment (or "E") is a window manager for X, providing a useful, and good looking graphical shell in which to work. E17 is the current development version. [05:39] Gold_bullet: try reinstalling it using ndiswrapper... or try charging a phone or something in the same usb port for some time [05:39] Gnea: oic [05:39] WIGGMPk: the sad truth is, linux burning tools are inferior, like most of its multimedia stuff... [05:39] deagle: e16, at the very least, allows you to restart the WM if it crashes (it self-heals) [05:39] arkhalis, phone? how will this help? [05:39] so you never lose any running app [05:39] Gold_bullet: that will determine if it's the usb port or the wireless key... other than that perhaps someone else in here can help you more? try asking again [05:39] i broke my jackalope. after i updated compiz and a few other things today, my desktop fails to load. i get to the login screen, login, and the screen disappears and comes back. tried restarting x, rebooting, recovery mode with xfix. starting a console session then doing startx gets me a desktop with no sound. any ideas? [05:39] i like openbox better :$ [05:39] lshw -C disk is not showing *disk-2: but only *disk-0: and *disk-1: [05:39] Gnea: it had to have that feature... due to how often it crashed.. :) [05:39] it'll popup a window and say "oh hai! i just crashed! press F1 to restart!" [05:39] losher: almost brings a tear to my eye... linux... inferior.... the same sentence.... =*( [05:40] Gold_bullet: Like an ipod or a phone... something that draws power from the usb ports [05:40] Dr_Willis: hehe yeah, now it's like, rock-solid [05:40] Dr_Willis: so true [05:40] is there a way to make btlaunchmany run up to, say, 3 downloads at a time? [05:40] Gnea: i try it every so often... then leave it for another year. [05:40] deagle: openbox is a desktop ? .. [05:40] WIGGMPk: I know, but the first step to solving a problem is to acknowledge it... :-) [05:40] arkhalis, um, i dont have any thing like that... i only have a broken usb-led thing [05:40] rameshwor: a window manager [05:40] Dr_Willis: i did that too for a couple of years... picked e17 back up late last year, haven't looked back since [05:41] deagle: so not a complete one like kde, gnome .. ?? [05:41] anyone know any popular reasons internet connections don't work on ubuntu. My wireless internet disconnects every 5 seconds and it's so annoying [05:41] gnea: enlightenment??? [05:41] loof: yes. [05:41] gnea: people still use that?? =S [05:41] Enlightnment is slowly growing into a 'desktop' :) [05:41] arkhalis, i do have a game controller that draws power from the usb ports tho, and the flow is always constant [05:41] rameshwor: if by complete you mean overbloated windows clone, then no... it's not "complete" [05:41] Gold_bullet: hmm... dunno then >< I'm at a loss and I don't want to tell you to go buy a new wireless key and find out it's just your usb ports and you wasted money y'know? [05:41] my firefox is hanging pretty often. Is anyone here able to help me with a backtrace I got? http://pastebin.com/f42bbabd4 [05:42] deagle: i mean is it in the same group of kde,gnome,xfce.. ? [05:42] Try that perhaps? [05:42] loof: heh, it's the only one that has been crafted so well as to only require 100mhz and 64mb of ram anymore ;) well, other than fvwm2, fvwm95 and, uh, twm :) windowmaker might get away.... [05:42] andrewjackson: I see images at http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/vmware/. Perhaps you forgot to google? [05:42] philsf: why not build a new version? 3.5 is like twice the speed of 3.10 [05:42] rameshwor: i'm not jaded... just prefer to individually pick the apps I like that are more efficient, like rox-filer, openbox, etc... [05:42] rameshwor: Enlightment is not as complete as XFCE from what i used of it.. [05:42] arkhalis, hmm....money....im 14...thats expensive XD [05:42] Gnea: and openbox! :D [05:42] gnea: heh, true that, i guess =D [05:42] Gold_bullet: though that won't answer your question for sure but it will eliminate one possibility it's not the power draw on your usb ports [05:42] Gnea: built from straight C [05:43] AFK -- [05:43] deagle: that doesn't mean it runs efficiently on an original pentium or 486 :) it might... === arkhalis is now known as Arkhalis|AFK [05:43] arkhalis, im still thinking that the driver is incompatible with Ubuntu, because it works perfectly in windows [05:43] Gnea: it runs awesome on my PIII :P [05:43] deagle: heh [05:43] loof, Isn't there a package in jaunty? [05:43] untill I play too much with the menu settings :S [05:43] vintage single-core processors? [05:44] \O/ ftw! [05:44] Gold_bullet: I was trying to figure out if it was your nvidia update or the wireless key that was the issue [05:44] barely needs a heatsink, much less a fah [05:44] *fan [05:44] i like booting up jaunty with e17 on my sempron - time to gdm login: less than 20 seconds. time to full desktop: 1 second. [05:44] philsf, : i assumed you were using that. if not, then yeah, update from a package =S [05:45] loof, I'm using firefox 3.0, the stable version [05:45] Arkhalis|AFK, well, on windows this driver causes alot of problems... [05:45] Anyone use Pidgin along with MySpace IM? My account never connects [05:45] Gnea: speaking of which, where do I tell X to autoload my background? .xinitrc won't do the trick [05:45] Arkhalis|AFK, like a full crash of the system [05:45] WIGGMPk: #pidgin might be helpful, that and triple checking your login details [05:45] deagle: i'm not sure with openbox... maybe try #openbox? [05:46] Gnea: openbox doesn't handle backgrounds [05:46] deagle: have you tried Xsetroot? [05:46] hell, it barely gives you a menu to launch stuff from! :D [05:46] ziroday: ill check them out, past the login credentials [05:46] Gold_bullet: afk for a few, try asking others in the channel.. I really have no idea =p sorry [05:46] Gnea: oh yeah, it's just I have to do it manually when I log in since .xinitrc wont play nice [05:47] ok then Arkhalis|AFK [05:47] * Gold_bullet attempts to fix the problem [05:47] deagle: if you are using openbox then add the command to your openbox startup file [05:47] Gnea: I guess my real question is: where does ubuntu store info to launch apps from @ startup? [05:47] deagle: iirc, it should go like this: line1: #!/bin/sh line2: Xsetroot -s /path/to/the/pic.jpg line3: openbox [05:47] ziroday: there's such a thing? o_O [05:47] deagle: that's dependent on the desktop manager [05:48] deagle: depends on the desktop. :) kde and gmome both support session management, and the autostart directory [05:48] !autostart [05:48] To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [05:48] but i don't have a desktop manager :P [05:48] deagle: so gnome/metacity carries that in ~/.gconf and ~/.gnome [05:48] deagle: teres always making your own .xinitrc or some other methods like we used years ago [05:48] well then, you have to make them launch in the background in .xinitrc before launching your wm :) [05:48] deagle: yes, http://icculus.org/openbox/index.php/Help:Autostart and #openbox on irc.oftc.net [05:49] philsf, : just saying you can get much newer versions either from source or from debs: ie: http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/06/firefox-35-rc-1-ubuntu-repository-deb.html [05:49] ziroday: ooooh thank you! [05:49] Openbox has some sort of autostart dir/feature/script i recall also [05:49] dangit, this soundcard is shot :( [05:49] deagle: have fun [05:49] wait wait dont say stuff people! i need that URL [05:49] :P [05:49] deagle: pm it to yourself [05:49] thanks! :D [05:49] Ok, I just finished burning a DVD image with Brasero (that completed successfully) and now my DVD drive with not mount blank disc's or software discs.. Please help.../ [05:49] Gnea: i'm still on ircII :S [05:50] WIGGMPk: power cycle it... [05:50] bleh, might as well restart X [05:50] deagle: lol i use irssi, used ircII for years [05:50] how do i scroll up? [05:50] :S [05:50] deagle, can't you scroll up, to stop the auto scrolling? [05:50] pageup? [05:50] nope [05:50] up arrow? [05:50] nope [05:50] scrolls to past comments [05:50] losher: I have "other" things running.. and thats not a solution.. it happens frequently.. [05:51] pageup gives this: ~ [05:51] losher: im encoding video's which take a long time... and I have a lot of DVD's to burn [05:51] you'll either need a decent script or just use irssi [05:51] hey, isn't opening the iso with winzip,winrar and then burning the unzipped files to cd the same as burning the iso from nero or... i did the first one but xubuntu live cd didn't boot.. [05:51] deagle: still need the url? [05:51] rameshwor: no [05:51] rameshwor: you have been told before, no. [05:52] ziroday: yes. i was told to check md5... [05:52] <``y7> guys, it looks like i have to say bye to ubuntu. basically when i run ubuntu as my router, it screws up my ONT to where I have to reset the ONT (verizon fios thing). debian doesn't have this issue, nor do any other standard routers, such as linksys or actiontec. unless anybody has any additional ideas on how to fix this...??? :( [05:52] * Arkhalis|AFK beats terr_ over the head -- REPEATEDLY -- with a very veRY VERY small trout (I suck at fishing) [05:52] rameshwor: burn the livecd via the iso image, do not uncompress it and burn the files. === Arkhalis|AFK is now known as Arkhalis [05:52] ``y7: are you using ubuntu or ubuntu-server? [05:52] WIGGMPk: I understand. But if it's a firmware bug in your burner... [05:53] <``y7> ubuntu [05:53] why?

A brasero bug? [05:54] yey! GUI :D [05:54] tty's scare me :S [05:54] you know... i'll give e17 another try :P [05:54] <``y7> Gnea: any reasons to go to ubuntu-server over debian? i'm guessing ubuntu-server takes away some features that ubuntu already has, but i don't really know. i guess i'll look into it [05:55] losher: thats a long shot i think... could brasero effectively disable my dvd drive...? for the system...? maybe a udev problem? somehow [05:55] deagle, you could try out opengeu [05:55] wussat? [05:55] google is our friend. :) [05:55] deagle, ubuntu-based distro using e17 as the default desktop [05:55] WIGGMPk: if it's any condolence, i've had to disable brasero completely [05:55] oic [05:56] E17 - the windowmanger/desktop that reinvents its self more then... err... hmm.. [05:56] ``y7: i use ubuntu-server because it updates more often than debian. it's essentially the same as debian, only more ubuntu-ized. network setup uses the standard /etc/network/interfaces [05:56] WIGGMPk: can you eject the drive from software? [05:56] I cant think of anything tht does it MORE then E17 [05:56] yep [05:56] losher: eject :D [05:56] ``y7: BUT, you can make the desktop ubuntu use it too [05:56] deagle: actually that just depresses me even more... it seems like Ubuntu sacrificed too much in the hopes of booting faster..

But if you can get it to work, who would care? [05:59] one of the reasons I picked nVIDIA over ATI was due to their linux friendliness [05:59] losher: I have 2.. but only 1 has power to it right now [05:59] DirectorBonesy, many proprietary driver can be loaded from system > administration > hardware drivers [05:59] losher: it just returns with nothing....

The only way I can get to command prompt is via the "recovery mode" from the grub menu. But, when choosing shell, it asks for maintenance password. Nothing I put in there takes. How do I get past that password? It doesn't take the normal sudo password. [06:07] unitheory: no more?

[06:15] WIGGMPk: sorry I couldn't solve it... [06:16] scales11, with a minimal install the good thing is you can try out a bunch of desktop environments and remove them if you don't like them and you control what's installed [06:16] losher: its ok.. [06:16] WIGGMPk, I can't boot into X, it crashed to jibberish. I can't boot into anywhere except up to where that pswd is required.

[06:18] usingartistxlive: are you comfortable with the command line? show me what "sudo fdisk -l" tells you on pastebin [06:19] WIGGMPk, okay, will check, back in a bit I hope.... [06:19] scales11, all of them? theres what like 7-10 desktop environments? [06:19] usingartistxlive, : you could try ALT+PRINTSCREEN+RSEIUOR [06:19] what do you use to extrat .rar files in ubuntu [06:19] :) [06:19] ibmman: archive manager... just double click on it [06:19] unitheory: i have been messing with arch, and ubuntu for a while now [06:19] ok, sound with my 82801G audio controller, I can't get it to work. how do I fix it? [06:19] ibmman: use 'unrar' [06:19] unitheory: i just cant settle on one though [06:19] ibmman: losher oops thats right.. [06:20] for unrar you need ubuntu-restricted-extras, no? [06:20] !rar [06:20] rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [06:20] unitheory: ubuntu has its options and settings a little spread out, harder to find in a whim [06:20] drmrhorse_: not that i am aware of.

[06:22] WIGGMPk: Talking to yourself can be good sometimes [06:22] Dr_Willis: as in, its an awesome meta-package... yea just nvm [06:22] WIGGMPk: meta-packages are veyr common in the Ubuntu packages. :) like 'ubuntu-desktop' and 'kubuntu-desktop' [06:22] usingartistxlive, : actually, that should be ALT+PRINTSCREEN+R (takes back keyboard control if X is holding keyboard/mouse. you can then ctrl-alt-f1 to a terminal, login, enable the root account, and fix your install [06:22] unitheory: arch is nice but lots of setup, and then when i think i am all set, more setup! pacman is decent though, but autocomplete is slower than ubuntu, much slower, [06:22] !alien [06:22] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [06:22] voss: i will try this but the kernel didnt update [06:22] unitheory: bye for now [06:22] losher: yes it is executable, green in the console [06:22] Arkhalis: i suppose it could.. but im completing other people sentences...

[06:32] karatekickz, if no one can here try #linux channel it is more across the board and less ubuntu specific [06:32] Owner, Ubuntu will atleast play along nicely and add Windows as a multi-boot option [06:33] jerroome: I'm seeing two things of interest: "gdm_config_value_get_bool: assertion 'value->type == GDM_CONFIG_VALUE_BOOL' failed" and "failed to start x sefveral times in a short time period; disabling dispaly :0" [06:33] tried linux help... they werent helpful [06:33] I also googled a ton [06:33] Owner, The same cannot be said of Windows, it will overwrite the MBR on install and you will have to use another method to access the Ubuntu install. [06:33] this seem distro specific [06:33] I need to find where vnc gets loaded === Arkhals|AFK is now known as Arkhalis [06:33] karatekickz, What's the exact issue? [06:34] im running vnc headless...

I'd like to make one and Google doesn't work without nouns [06:35] she says it is a normal-regular cd-r, Im mad at me because that was the one thing of hw I didnt try before handing it over to her [06:35] karatekickz: I'm confused. How do you know you're running vnc headless if you didn't start it yourself by hand? [06:36] Schweet. Got my Ubuntu server all up to date. [06:36] she says the brand is sony, I told her to buy a verbatim and imation tomorrow and try those maybe its some kind of weird model of cd-r I have heard of ones not working [06:36] karatekickz, How about looking into ~/.vnc/ [06:36] Ive never had issues with those brands [06:36] unitheory: how to install the flash player for it? :-?

[06:41] < --- Needs to know : Where can I view the log, of this chatroom online??? [06:41] my x session problem was fixed by changing from kdm to gdm. kdm used to work for me with gnome, but no more i guess [06:41] JayX: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com [06:41] my gfiends lap has jaunty, it doesn mount the blank cd's and as such it cant burn them, brasero for ex keeps askling her to enter a medium to write to, the blank cd icon wont even show on the desktop [06:41] So its cd-r not cd-rw [06:41] Hiya I got a Question [06:41] !logs > JayX [06:41] JayX, please see my private message [06:41] metew, i have no idea brb let me check [06:41] voss: nope she says theyŕe cd-r [06:42] Is there a way to get a USB Game Controller working in ubuntu? [06:42] They might have already been used [06:42] voss: I told her to buy a couple more tomorrow, verbatim and/or imation Ive had good exp with those brands [06:42] I'm unsure how to configure my network. I want to set up a DSL connection so I put in the username and password, but I don't know what to put for service. [06:42] Ophelix: it should work automatically... if you need calibration there is an app called Joystick Calibrator in the repos [06:42] losher, bazhang #ubuntu.txt is this chat room right? [06:43] My network is working fine, but it's not being managed by network connections [06:43] by the way what is the brand of cd burner in there? [06:43] I have the hope its just some issue with the cd brand and another iwll work [06:43] ramas I have never heard that some brands weren't working, can't give you any hint for it, as voss said, are you sure the cd are blank ? [06:43] karatekickz, try searching for the vncserver -geometry... [06:43] JayX, yep [06:43] It says that no valid active connections are found. [06:43] I see nothing in there other than passwd [06:43] Well it doesnt, its a Tesun USB 706, but Im running it on the EEE-PC Hardy Lean Kernel, would that make a different [06:43] karatekickz, command call, it should be in /etc (probably in rc.local) if you are running it headless as you say. [06:43] she says the cd's come from a bunch her father bought u know, from office max [06:43] also why dont I see .vnc when I ls the /~ [06:44] SyphonSilent, please ask in channel (not via PM) [06:44] tjhey dont have labels and come in a tower [06:44] I looked and rc.local [06:44] no reference [06:44] ramas what is the brand of the drive [06:44] sam____ are you allowed to connect to that network ? isn't it filtered trough MAC adresses ? [06:44] I can fetch u the model and brand of the burner [06:44] hold [06:44] karatekickz, do a grep for "vncserver" in /etc [06:44] Ophelix: I am running on an eeepc 1008ha and every controller i have plugged in works automatically /dev/input/js if the app needs a controller location [06:44] um, it could be, i guess, but it's my own home network and everything else works fine without having to do any setup of that kind [06:45] mutew, it does not say the dll name all its says, "some dlls are needed for loading the kernel" [06:45] try the joystick calibrator to see if it's really there... if not perhaps try finding drivers for it [06:45] karatekickz, or if your fs has updatedb then try and do a "locate xstartup" [06:45] Alright Ill give it a try one minuto [06:45] karatekickz: you need 'ls -a' to see files starting with a dot [06:45] Ophelix: try the joystick calibrator to see if it's really there... if not perhaps try finding drivers for it [06:45] Owner, in that case you could try booting from the WinXP cd and running the repair option. [06:45] do you use that network for the moment with another machine, if yes have a look at your dhcp-server config [06:46] Where can I find a troubleshooting guide for the network manager on 9.04? === desti_T2 is now known as desti [06:46] Hey, I'm having trouble with Pidgin using the Yahoo protocol. [06:46] mutew, alright thank you very much [06:46] JayX, : i said to watch that video on youtube and try that [06:46] hi there people, i've got a problem, X won't start (or will start but display a black empty screen) since a few minutes ago (after the restart following today's update) [06:46] Does anyone know how to use Aria2? [06:46] loff i did, but i dont have the bash commands to create an ad-hov [06:46] hoc* [06:47] Ophelix: please tag your message when you come back so i know you are talking to me... don't always catch it without [06:47] anyone having video issues since the last update? [06:47] Arkhalis: Alright ill be sure to do that [06:47] Apollo2366: same here. it's not working.. [06:47] Ophelix: perfect, thanks [06:47] thx for helping btw mutew [06:48] Does anyone know how to use aria2? [06:48] loof i did, but i dont have the bash commands to create an ad-hov [06:48] JimBiggs can you access a terminal ? [06:48] karatekickz, any luck yet? [06:48] rameshworr, that's three for three then, I think it's a problem with Pidgin [06:48] what would the exact comand be for the grep request? [06:48] rameshworr, my friend has the same problem [06:48] any parameters? [06:48] jerroome`, yes, i'm in it just right now, but all i can see in dmesg is "[drm: i915_get_vblank_counter] *ERROR* trying to get vblank count for disabled pipe 0" [06:48] grep "vncserver" /etc -r [06:48] JayX: what's an ad-hoc? [06:49] if yes, backup your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file [06:49] voss: sorry the lap is at her home I canbt find the burner model and I dont recall what it was, all I can tell u is a Gateway mx 6009m with celeron 2.1Ghz processor [06:49] karatekickz, grep "vncserver" /etc -r [06:49] and then execute sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [06:49] jerroome`, backup done, and then? [06:49] losher, good question... it something to do with shareing a network connections [06:49] !info ad-hoc [06:49] Package ad-hoc does not exist in jaunty [06:49] jerroome`, ok, i'll try that straight away and keep you updated ;) [06:49] Arkhalis: Alright sweetness all i needed to do was install the configurator thanks! [06:49] loof ,WIGGMPk, how do I get the terminal from a live-cd to administer changes to the installed OS, or, if easier, how do I get the root password enabled on the installed OS from the live-cd terminal? I got lost in the shell there for awhile. [06:49] my father has the exact same model and the burner worked without issues to burn 2 dvd¡'s and a cd-r last week [06:49] don't need to reboot [06:49] Where can I get help for network manager? [06:49] ramas, the best strategy try the other brand cds tommorow, if they dont work , replace the drive [06:49] losher, wifi connection* [06:49] execute telinit S [06:49] Ophelix: Glad to help, and remember if the app you run needs the controller location it's /dev/input/js [06:49] and then launch X manually again [06:49] jerroome`, telinit S ? [06:50] JayX, losher, ad-hoc is a network with a mobile device such as a laptop acting as the access point [06:50] with startx? [06:50] with gdm if you use gnome [06:50] oh ok gdm [06:50] lots of permission denied when run from /~ [06:50] losher, an ad-hoc connection is a type of network connection built without the aid of any external networking infrastructure.. [06:50] no hits [06:50] ok i'll try that straight away ;) [06:50] ok [06:50] Arkhalis: Got it Alright thanks again [06:50] makes sense, thanks all... [06:50] losher, so for eg. the connection between a couple of laptops, mobiles or PDA's without the use of a router is an ad-goc connection. [06:50] well, we'll see wuth the other cd's Ill have more info tomorrow and then Ill ask again if necessary, if its worth it, in windows vista she burned a dvd prior to wiping it, the lap is brand new [06:50] unitheory, so then how doe tethering work? is the lapot is the access point? [06:51] jerroome`, telinit S shows me a recovery menu, what should i choose? [06:51] JayX, not sure about that one ;] [06:51] unitheory, ok :P [06:51] also, when i go into attached devices it only shows my windows desktop and my macbook, not the ubuntu desktop [06:51] normal resume or similar [06:51] on my router that is [06:51] thx for the help, I hope I dont have to downgrade it to hardy, as it works pretty well and she has all her apps and look and feel already set in jaunty [06:52] ramas, you can also try creating an ubuntu live cd on another computer and if it wont boot the disc then you know. [06:52] I gotta run mute thanks for the help so far...I guess I will google more [06:52] karatekickz: which parameter do you want to add? [06:52] jerroome`, i think i screwed something up with telinit S, i'll just reboot [06:52] whatever teh screen res para is I have to google again [06:53] ok, reboot [06:53] but don't worry, nothing can be broken [06:53] karatekickz, try searching for vncserver -geometry 640x480 [06:53] karatekickz, that should be the command line invocation [06:53] voss: k, but she says data and music cd's are mounted fine, the only proib is with blank cds [06:53] -geometry [06:53] karatekickz: as I understand it, mythbubtu runs the gnome desktop, and gnome has a VINO server built in, which serves vnc' [06:54] jerroome`, could this issue be because i added the "latest video drivers source" in apt lately? (like a week ago [06:54] nah it defaults cause I am running headless [06:54] losher, but he's talking of a headless vnc system. [06:54] problem is she doesnt live with me yet so I wont be sure until friday when I see her and the laptop [06:54] I cant even find a reference for freaking vnc [06:54] its simple [06:54] I just gotta add that paramte [06:54] ramas, a ubuntu live cd is an iso . If the system will boot the live cd, then its not a drive reading problem [06:54] I acannot belive this is that difficult [06:54] very frustrating [06:55] karatekickz: so when you run 'ps ax' is there a vncserver running? [06:55] anyway, thx Ill be back probably if the other cd's dont work, she has xp in another partition Ill try to see if she can burn from there... [06:55] jerroome`, no luck still the black empty screen (but there's sound ;) [06:55] JimBiggs, could be, but I didn't heard anything about it [06:55] voss, some faulty drive can still boot livecds [06:55] im vnced in right now [06:55] using it [06:55] How do I configure the compose key such that composing _a or _o results in the character I want? [06:55] so yes a vnc server is running [06:55] pastebin return of lspci [06:55] karatekickz: I hate problems like that... then when you figure it out you go well that was easy! (only with more vulgar language) [06:55] lsmod [06:55] lol thats how this one is [06:55] and also your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file [06:55] karatekickz: but you didn't start the vncserver explicitly? [06:55] yep I just installed jaunty from cd a week ago [06:55] uni, but a drive that cannot read a live is a definite hardware failure [06:56] myth gave me the option to install it [06:56] loof how do i make a bash comand to create a Ad-hoc network? [06:56] so I assume its set to load on boot [06:56] as I tell u guys the oinly issue on thw whole hw in the laptop is with these blank cd's [06:56] jerroome`, how could i pastebin anything? it's on my laptop and i only have access to the term :( [06:56] well, the console [06:56] the system treats them as if no medium was in the drive [06:56] jayx: http://www.prash-babu.com/2008/08/how-to-createjoin-adhoc-network-in.html [06:56] JimBiggs, pastebinit [06:56] ramas, the whole might be those crappy office depot cds in which case youre golden :) [06:56] give me a sec, I don't have an issue directly [06:56] karatekickz: back to what mutew said then. Grep for vnc in /etc/init.d/* [06:56] ramas: sorry if my question is redundant and already been answered... but try updating the firmware on your cd drive [06:56] JimBiggs, sudo apt-get install pastebinit [06:56] [GNOME] After dist-upgrade to Uuntu 9.04 the arrow keys and the 'Alt Gr' key function wrongly. They do work correctly in the virtual consoles. How to fix this? [06:57] use w3m or lynx as browser [06:57] bazhang, that's clever ;) [06:57] cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit (for example) [06:57] jerroome`, ok, will do ;) [06:57] bazhang, very clever ;) [06:57] karatekickz: mutew: sorry I'm behind you guys [06:57] i'll do that [06:57] ok that sounds good will see the manufacturer and see if theres a fw upgrade if the other cds dont work tomorrow [06:57] its not in xconf [06:57] jerroome`, so lsmod, lspci and xorg.conf right? [06:57] ramas: only problem with firmware is [06:58] she says theyŕe sony, but I doubt it as she says they dont have any labels or anything [06:58] yes [06:58] karatekickz: if it's forked from mythbackend, you'll never find it... [06:58] if u screw u blow the hw? [06:58] ramas: a lot of the time there are only windows installers for updating firmware so you may run into problems there [06:58] k im in that directory [06:58] so just grep "vncserver"? [06:59] cause it appears hung [06:59] karatekickz: 'grep vnc /etc/init.d/*' [06:59] grep grep grep [06:59] from /~ ? [06:59] karatekickz, cd /etc [06:59] karatekickz, grep "vncserver" . -r [07:00] How do I enable root in the installed ubuntu by using a live-cd? [07:00] jerroome`, lsmod: http://pastebin.com/f7f303fd, lspci http://pastebin.com/f20a8d21b, xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/f2e99e69 [07:00] she has xp install in another partition I left it there... just in case... like these cases [07:00] !root | usingartistxlive [07:00] usingartistxlive: 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 [07:00] karatekickz: I'd prefer he do: sudo grep vnc /etc/init.d/* [07:01] jerroome`, and dmesg: http://pastebin.com/f7489a0df [07:01] ramas: good choice lol and good luck, hope it helps [07:01] how can I connect to a windows 2003 server through a VPN?

[07:01] anger solves no computer problem... only cause them lol [07:02] thx you'll see me here tomorrow with more q's and info if they dont work, this is a weird one, dont think its a hw prob as the laptop is just new, anyway, gotta run thx [07:02] ramas: night [07:03] usingartistxlive: did you wanna do this or not? [07:03] * losher thinks to himself, it's like pulling teeth tonight... [07:03] Tohuw, : what video card are you using? did you make any driver changes? i'm assuming x started before you did something to break it? [07:03] * Arkhalis agrees with losher [07:04] does ubuntu have a good self-hosted web analytics package? [07:04] ok, give me a minute [07:04] jerroome`, take you time, i'm stuck here anyway :p [07:04] is it possible to share files with samba from ubuntu to windows xp?if possible how? [07:04] losher, yes, I need to enable root on the installed os with the hosed xserver/xorg, while using a live-cd, so I can reboot and get past the "recovery mode's" maintenence password [07:04] groan thanks for the help im giving up for the night [07:05] usingartistxlive: ok, so the easiest way I can think to do that is to generate a root password on the live system & copy it to the hosed server, ok? [07:05] I have a fresh terminal open and ready [07:05] kandinski, : good compared to what? [07:05] Is iCon 401 3G USB modem working with Jaunty? Do I still have to disable ZeroCD first?

It worked before I upgraded to jaunty.

I have tried gconf-editor. [07:11] Warrigal_: #xorg [07:11] usingartistxlive: good. Now cd /media/disk/etc [07:11] Tohuw: gracias. [07:11] linuxguy2009: alacarte [07:11] Sorry I meant the menu editor. [07:11] alacarte [07:11] don't do that [07:12] is there a way to burn an backup of my 9.04 install once I get it set up the way I like it (compiz, stylus, awn ...) to a dvd or something so that I can reainstall and have everything already set up? [07:12] jerroome`, so what do you reckon, am i out of solutions (appart from reinstalling?) [07:12] ubottu, thanks [07:12] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [07:12] Do not use the "Delete" feature in alacarte [07:12] that would be a pain :( [07:12] loof, thanks [07:12] kandinsky: http://www.google.com/urchin/index.html [07:12] It shouldn't even be there [07:12] linuxguy2009: ah. so they don't show up in alacarte? [07:12] gggg: np [07:12] thanks ubottu! [07:12] Yes they show but they wont delete. [07:12] losher, okay, I'm there [07:12] thanks ubottu ! [07:12] I wouldn't reinstall, but I don't have an immediate issue [07:13] oh [07:13] jerroome`, :( [07:13] hello. i’ve added a file /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-input.fdi to my HAL config. how can i tell HAL to immediately use these new settings without a restart of the computer? [07:13] try to repair broken packages [07:13] loof: any ideas on why when I use the fglrx driver I get "no screens found" even though I'm using a standard and simple xorg.conf? [07:13] jerroome`, so you confirm there's nothing i could do to "revert to standard video drivers" as i should already be using them, right? [07:13] jerroome`, how to repair broken packages? [07:13] usingartistxlive: ok, now lets generate a root password. Type: sudo passwd root . It will prompt you to enter & repeat a root password [07:13] you can either reboot and launch in rescue mode, or launch telinit S and choose repair broken packages [07:14] jerroome`, ok [07:14] Tophu: you can tar and gzip your entire home directory, or maybe just the dot-folders [07:14] hmmm, what drivers are you using? [07:14] jerroome`, is that normal that i can't use the arrows to change the menu in telinit S? [07:14] Tohuw, : what ati drivers, i mean [07:14] if you boot in recue mode, you first have to drop to a root shell in order to set your network connection and after that laucnh repair broken packages [07:14] I was messing with Lego Digital Designer and a few NVIDIA demos.hehe Darn shortcuts are in Other and just wont delete. [07:15] I can, I don't know why you can't [07:15] losher , passwd: password updated successfully [07:15] jerroome`, i'm having a very bad feeling :( [07:15] @gany: so no way to burn an install disk :-( [07:15] linuxguy2009, can't you use gnome's menu editor? [07:15] loof: What do you mean? I'm using fglrx as the driver. fglrx is installed properly; it was working before upgrade [07:16] usingartistxlive: ok. now look at the file /etc/shadow: the first line should say root: followed by a bunch of weird characters [07:16] jerroome`, when i type any key it writes over the menus, and the arrows arent reponsive [07:16] Yes I have used alacarte many times its great.It just wont do it for some odd reason. [07:16] after you have launched the xorg reconfigure command, you aren't using any third party drivers for graphics anymore [07:16] linuxguy2009: Don't use the "Delete" option in alacarte [07:16] linuxguy2009, uncheck the boxes next to the entries you don't want to show ? [07:16] linuxguy2009: It causes problems later [07:17] jerroome`, oh ok ;) [07:17] usingartistxlive: you may need to say 'sudo cat /etc/shadow' to read it... [07:17] than just reboot [07:17] please help, Istanbul Screen Recorder is not working for me ... I have a terminal output if anyone is interested ... [07:17] and go to rescue mode [07:17] loof, do you need to see my xorg.conf, and if so is there a quick way to put it on pastebin when all I have is root prompt with networking? [07:17] [GNOME] After dist-upgrade to Uuntu 9.04 the arrow keys and the 'Alt Gr' key function wrongly. They do work correctly in the virtual consoles. How to fix this? [07:17] jerroome`, ok, i'll try that :/ [07:17] are there any good Free alternatives to GPSDrive or TangoGPS? [07:17] can anyone think of a temporary fix for this pidgin-yahoo network problem? [07:18] unitheory: thats a good temp fix. So I did it. Im thinking its reading them from a folder somewhere. [07:18] linuxguy2009: ~/.local/share/applications/wine/ [07:18] @xooo: I thought they came out with an update that fixed that [07:18] losher, I just opened it from nautilus, and it shows root:x: then some numbers and ":"s [07:18] Tophu: tell me how to do it because mine isn't fixed [07:19] xooo, you can change the server pidgin connects to if you don't want to update pidgin [07:19] id like to update pidgin [07:19] tohuw: i didn't think that the ati rage xl was supported by fglrx??? are you SURE it is?? [07:19] I just installed ubuntu 9.04, is root disabled by default? how do i enable it? I'm trying to do things and it won't let me [07:19] usingartistxlive: ok, that bunch of numers & stuff between the colons is the password you just generated. We need to copy it to the server [07:19] if anyone was in here earlier when I was having the grub issues, I fixed em!! (YAY for me!). As I thought, what grub sees when it is installed from inside linux is different from what it sees when it it loaded from MBR right after POST. [07:19] Amaranth: Big thumbs up, you da man/woman! [07:19] jerroome`, i just tried booting with the previous kernel, and it didn't work better, so that could mean it's really video related, right? [07:19] !root | Stanley_ [07:19] Stanley_: 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 [07:19] @stanley: all commands cane be executte as root by useing sudo [07:20] loof: no, actually. I'm not certain. this computer has two cards, a built in ati and the pci rage. one moment, let me try something [07:20] Stanley_: sudo [07:20] sudo so drops you into root [07:20] sudo su* [07:20] Ill have to remeber that one next time. [07:20] so it's sudo in unbuntu instead of su [07:20] ? [07:20] http://www.pidgin.im/ [07:20] yeah, SuperUserDO [07:20] on that front page it says yahoo problems are fixed [07:20] least hwo I remember it :P [07:20] losher, okay, it is as you say from "sudo cat...." [07:21] again: i’ve added a file /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-input.fdi to my HAL config. how can i tell HAL to immediately use these new settings without a restart of the computer? [07:21] yes it is [07:21] Man i love this wallpaper-tray app from the repos.Its cool. [07:21] I'm new to linux and all I've used so far is CentOS on my servers, I tried to use Fedora but it seems a little clunky [07:21] well now that my GRUB issues are solved, i now need help getting my not-so-supported SiiG sil0680 Medley card to play nice in Ubuntu [07:21] usingartistxlive: ok, we need to copy the password to the server file /media/disk/etc/passwd. Do you have a favorite text editor? [07:21] jerroome`, i rebooted in rescue mode, selected the xfix menu entry, but still no luck :/ [07:21] So I'll have to get used to doing things "differently" in ubuntu [07:22] @linuxguy2009: is that the one that auto rotates wallpapers? [07:22] Stanley deb distros like Ubuntu and Debian are great to start with.Good luck to you! [07:22] from what I have read, I need to use dmraid [07:22] then I'm out of ideas [07:22] tohuw: with that card i think you should be using mesa [07:22] where do i manage how ubuntu does updates? mines not doing it automatically. i tried update manager and its not in there. [07:22] losher, I have gedit open [07:22] maybe you should go to a xorg chat [07:22] thing is last time I tried to use it, it gave me some funky erorr about dos: something size exceeded partition [07:22] Tophu yeah its cool I love it. I accidentally left the timer at 0 and set it to rotate and it was swapping papers like crazy till i reset it in gconf.hehe [07:22] those people might be able to help you better [07:22] jerroome`, i switch to #xorg, let's hope there's some people as helping as you ;) [07:23] usingartistxlive: ok, open /media/disk/etc/shadow in the editor [07:23] thanks a lot ! [07:23] xooo, system > administration > software sources [07:23] you welcome [07:23] sorry I couldn't fix your problem [07:23] jerroome`, at least it ruled out the obvious i believe :D [07:23] well, it's not your fault is it? at least you tried! [07:24] good luck [07:24] usingartistxlive: you might encounter permission problems. You may need to run sudo gedit /media/disk/etc/shadow to get it to work [07:24] anyone use pidgin in here? I'd like to turn off the enter/leave messages but I dunno how to? Course I could just install and use a real IRC client... :| [07:24] I learned a cool tweak the otehr day for the gnome panels, you can go to gconf and apps/panel/toplevel and set them to 0 delay for show and hide, and also 0 for how much of the panel shows when hiding and disable the animation.There totally hidden until you need em and there fast.Love it! [07:25] yeah think I'll do that be back in a minute [07:25] losher, I closed it and reopened it with sudo [07:25] jerroome`, thanks ;) [07:25] usingartistxlive: ok, open a second terminal and do the same with /etc/shadow i.e. sudo gedit /etc/shadow [07:26] I'm sleepy [07:27] guys where is the menu editor in kde4? [07:27] Arkhalis: I'm pouring myself a brandy [07:27] losher , would a copy/paste from the first terminal to the opened gedit work? [07:27] losher: I am bartending right now lol... Alcohol, money, karaoke, and linux /heaven === keppchen is now known as psykeppchen [07:28] Tohuw, : i mean, you're trying to run opengl on an 8mb video card, right? or just trying to run X? [07:28] usingartistxlive: yes, and that's exactly what we need to do. We want to cut&paste the root password i.e. everything between the first two colons from /etc/shadow to /media/disk/etc/shadow [07:28] Man I swear if I would have known how cool linux was back in the day I would have switched in a minute.I dont think I could live without it now. [07:29] usingartistxlive: we on;y need to change the first line. I hope it's clear what I mean... [07:29] losher, does it matter that the rest of the numbers in the terminal are different from the numbers in gedit? That is, not counting "root". [07:29] linuxguy2009: I love linux except for gaming, I play too new of games for wine to handle so I spend most of my time on windows... everything else is linux [07:29] linuxguy2009: linux wasn't as cool as it is now, 'back in the day'.... [07:30] losher, yes it was :P [07:30] hehe true I bought a box of Mandrake 8.0 back when i was younger and had no clue how to do anything on it but install it. Its changed a lot. [07:30] usingartistxlive: the rest of the numbers are ok to leave as is, we only want to cut & paste the actual password [07:30] i guess it depends on how you define "cool" and "back in the day" [07:30] losher, okay, root line only, copied and pasted. [07:30] usingartistxlive: ok, close both editors, we're done [07:31] losher, "save" first, I suppose [07:31] Ok I am going crazy...http://pastebin.com/m58352ba0...I can't get glx to work on xorg :( [07:31] usingartistxlive: yes, on the /media/disk/etc/shadow, save then exit... === psykeppchen is now known as rotkeppchen [07:32] Ok well g'night guys! [07:32] night linuxguy2009 [07:32] losher, thank you. I'll be back if I have any more problems. [07:33] Is there any way to get skype running on 9.05 64bit [07:33] I need help to configure my sound. It is not working. [07:33] usingartistxlive: ok, I'll hang around for 5 minutes to be sure you can at least get past the boot... [07:33] okay [07:33] zortec: have you tried this? [07:33] !alsa | zortec [07:33] zortec: 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 [07:33] loof: yeah, forgot that rage xl is only an 8mb, and that fglrx would not work with it. switched back to the other one. I updated fglrx to the latest version, and now I get a "no screens found" (this card is an radeon xpress 200g series). [07:34] I'm using the HDA Nvidia alsa device [07:34] anyone know what would cause this: dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.so: undefined symbol: _nv000046gl [07:35] i have problem about crontab [07:35] i have problem about crontab [07:35] the script runs fine manually, but it is not running when you've scheduled it to run from cron. [07:35] rizal: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:35] loof: I also see: This ATI proprietary linux driver does not guarantee support of video driver ABI higher than 2.0 video driver ABI version of the X server is 5.0 [07:35] Tohuw, : yeah, i was like "uhhhhh, fglrx on an 8mb card??? i'm amazed you were trying to run X!" lol =S [07:35] zortec: right, but have you set them all to also mixer to see if you get sound [07:35] Ok, got the sound working but it's very low [07:36] I have a Nvidia GTX-260 and an Nvidia 9500GT that i use to power 4 monitors, What Drivers should I install? [07:36] Arkhalis: I had to turn up the PCM control [07:36] mbostwick: my first guess is that the module was built for a different version of xserver than the one running... [07:36] Tohuw, : you should try using MESA if you want opengl on the card [07:36] Arkhalis: Where would I set them all? I only see one drop down for mixer [07:36] i cant get ubuntu 9.04 to work with my laptop's touchpad, and its an issue in kernel 2.6 as it works with 8.10 and DSL [07:36] zortec: good, my sound is rediculously quiet as well... haven't worked that one out yet [07:36] stanley: the closed source nvidia drivers. 180.60 is the newest as i recall [07:37] zortec: ah, that was me being dumb ignore the "all" [07:37] Arkhalis: I'm going to search around and see why sound on linux is extremely quiet [07:37] quick question: I'm not sure I like xchat-gnome too terribly much... options I'd like (like auto-identify) are not here... any recommendations? [07:37] loof: So I should use Nvidia's drivers? [07:37] zortec: there may be a fix in that alsa reference i just showed you [07:37] Aacron, xchat can auto-identify [07:38] zortec: if you find a solution msg me a website (i've just been too busy to figure it out) [07:38] please ^^ [07:38] Arkhalis: No problem :) [07:38] any ideas? [07:38] I'm using xchat-gnome (said it was supported by Ubuntu, the normal xchat wasn't?) [07:39] unitheory: so should I de-install this one and use the other xchat? [07:39] Aacron: just set your identify as a perform action on boot of xchat [07:39] Stanley_, : yeah === Warrigal_ is now known as Warrigal [07:39] Aacron, i'm not familiar with xchat-gnome. [07:39] loof: is there a tutorial available for that? I've seen a couple but am not sure which one to use [07:40] dont see the self-identify option anywhere (nor a way to turn off these pesky scrolling enter/leave messages) [07:40] kk, guess the other is safe? [07:40] Was kinda leery of stuff that doesn't say 'supported by ubuntu' on it :P [07:40] the newest off the nvidia site [07:40] which is 180.60 [07:40] I'll be back in a minute then... try out the other one [07:40] any ideas at all? [07:41] loof: what should I use for the "driver" paramter in my xorg.conf to use mesa? [07:41] Kasm279, what model laptop? [07:42] Averatec 3725-EH1 (3700 series), unitheory [07:42] how can I continue booting the system from rescue mode while im ssh'd in [07:42] init? [07:42] loof: Can they be installed via the packet manager or is it manual [07:43] loof: also, nvidia' website shows it as the latest version being 185.18.14 [07:44] zortec: Hey, think this may help... let me know if it does http://dollarunderscore.wordpress.com/2007/05/28/sound-quiet-after-upgrade-to-ubuntu-704/ [07:44] Kasm279, make a backup of your xorg.conf and try the solution in http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-312821.html === ectodozing is now known as ectospasm [07:45] Can anyone help me recover a corrupt ntfs filesystem contained in a raid0 array. The corruption is a result of a defective memory [07:45] ahh this is much better so far [07:47] Stanley_, : ahh, my bad. 185 >> 180. so yeah, use those [07:47] Aacron, if you right-click on the channel tab the hide join/parts setting is in there [07:47] kk thanks :P [07:47] loof: and is it really as easy as "sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.14-pkg2.run" ?? I remember last time it was alot more difficult [07:48] k2000: there is an ntfsfix program, but it's no substitute for chkdsk, You really need to get a windows system to check/repair the fs [07:49] losher: when I try to boot windows from the installation cd it hangs b4 detecting the hard drives [07:49] i have problem about crontab [07:49] the script runs fine manually, but it is not running when you've scheduled it to run from cron. [07:49] losher: It has vista on it [07:49] Stanley_, : yeah it's pretty simple if you choose the basic options. http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/185.18.14/README/index.html is the whole manual (pretty big, not really needed) see sections 15 and 13 for details on multi-monitor support. [07:49] k2000: sorry, I know even less about windows than I do about linux... [07:50] anyone know how to change gnome tray icons of specific apps? (dropbox's 16x16 icon is annoying in my theme) [07:50] In linux I see both hard drives [07:50] How do i exit X before installing? [07:50] linux even detects a ntfs filesystem on the first hard drive [07:50] but the second hard drive's filesystem is listed as unknown [07:51] nellmathew, afaik each application controls the appearance/presence of its tray icon [07:51] ah thanks unitheory [07:51] I dont mind tryint the ntfsfix in linux [07:51] zortec: you there? [07:51] Stanley_, : backup your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file before you go ahead with the install, tho, just in case you have problems you can put it back in place and use your old x config file that way [07:51] I was successfull with most of the time I used it on non-raid drives === vatts[off] is now known as vatts [07:52] k2000: by all means try it, but if you read the man page, you'll see if recommends booting into windows... [07:52] nellmathew, if you can set the app to disable its tray icon there are application out there that let you make tray icons for any program and you can configure them if i recall correctly [07:52] <|Ryan> Hey, I'm about to burn BackTrack 4 preRelease to a Dvd. Do I just burn the iso straight to the DVD and it works? or is there specific things I need to do? [07:53] and i continue missing the s key [07:53] I tried everything I know in windows :( [07:53] I'll try again then [07:53] Arkhalis: I'm still here, what did it for me was to turn up the Surround slider in the volume control [07:53] just in case I missed something [07:54] Might be a noob question, but where do I change the default applications for different filetypes? [07:54] |Ryan: if it's an iso, be sure to burn it in 'image mode' is the only gotcha... [07:54] unitheory, thanks, sounds good enough. i'll look into that then.. [07:54] The installation requirements say: XFree86/X.Org 4.0.1/6.7 and to check type: XFree86 -version/Xorg -version [07:54] Apollo2366, right-click on the file you want to change then it's under the "open with" tab [07:55] hey k2000, I just had a huge thing I had to deal with for grub [07:55] and I had similar issues [07:55] it said ntohing was found so i did a sudo aptitude install Xfree86 [07:55] I resolved it... maybe you're having a similar issue? [07:55] And it's still not giving me a version [07:55] <|Ryan> losher: Any recommended software for doing this? [07:56] |Ryan: what os version are you running? [07:56] unitheory, it works once, but the default application for that filetype remains the same [07:56] zortec: using the sudo alsamixer command? I just fixed mine by turing up the line out as well (apparently it affects the sound some) [07:56] <|Ryan> Ubuntu 9.04 [07:56] Arkhalis: Let me give that a try. :) [07:56] seems like none of the screen recording apps really work ... they all have glitches ... what a pain! [07:57] Apollo2366, sorry, right click the file then click properties then open with. [07:57] zortec: other than that I've got nothing google doesn't so good luck... going on a smoke break. if you need me msg me and i'll get back to you in a few [07:58] Oh ok thanks, unitheory [07:58] |Ryan: dunno, I use the command line myself. growisofs -speed=4 -dvd-compat -Z /dev/cdrom=file.iso [07:59] <|Ryan> losher: And that will burn it to my DVD? 'file.iso' being BackTrack4, in this case? [07:59] |Ryan: yep, that's the theory.... === kipas_angin is now known as myphnix [08:00] Stanley_, : did it error out saying that it required xfree86/xorg in those versions? or just tell you? if you've got a recent install of ubuntu (say, 9.04) you're fine [08:00] zortec: back now lol, that do anything for you? [08:01] Loof: okay thanks. It does error out saying I need to exit out of X first though, how do I do that ? [08:01] is firefox 3.5 being backported to jaunty? [08:01] ahh wine is so confusing [08:02] SyphonSilent: how so [08:02] more inadequate than confusing imho [08:02] all the repositories and authentication keys lol [08:02] I dont understand [08:02] Arkhalis: That was a fast smoke break. [08:04] Stanley_, : init 3 as root will drop you out of X; obviously if you're in X talking to us here on irc on that machine you're wanting to upgrade the drivers on, then that will kill your X session and all your apps you have open in X [08:04] SyphonSilent, sudo wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/jaunty.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list && sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install wine [08:04] ;] [08:05] i wish I understoon what that mean lol [08:05] thanks =] [08:05] Loof: I thought there _was_ no root? [08:06] hello [08:06] zortec: I'm working right now, bartender. So my smoke breaks are short but sweet [08:06] How do i go about opening a .desktop file? [08:06] Stanley_: there is no root password. But there is a root... [08:06] you could try "sudo init 3" [08:06] I have a question concerning 8.10-9.04 upgrade [08:06] Bonne nuit ;-) ! [08:06] I have a minimal install of Intrepid [08:06] Arkhalis: Ah :) [08:06] !gdm [08:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about gdm [08:07] if I upgrade, will it stay "minimal" ? [08:07] losher: how do i get in root then? [08:07] loof: sudo init 3 does nothign [08:07] Arkhalis: You have any news on the 9.10 release? [08:07] Stanley_, : there is a root account, it's just disabled by default. i'd recommend re-enabling it. if you need to recover your system ever in the future you'll need to know your root password [08:07] I mean I'm no tsure if it's not going to instlal any addidtional stuff that I simply don't need [08:08] How do i go about opening a .desktop file? [08:08] So i'm logged in as root now in terminal and when i type 'init 3' nothing happens [08:09] anyone? [08:09] DeCyper1: I believe a .desktop is just a shortcut [08:10] Stanley_, : system->administration->users and groups. you can re-enable root there and assign the root account a password. be aware, you don't want to be running stuff normally as root, it's mostly only for major system upgrades/changes/major software package updates (wine needs to be installed as root, as an example) [08:11] loof: yea I have it unlocked and a password set now, so i go into terminal type 'su' enter my password and i'm in root, now i type 'init 3' and _nothing_ happens [08:11] zortec: I don't sorry, again with the been too busy (two jobs and school) [08:12] Arkhalis: No worry, I was just curious [08:12] hi [08:12] hi [08:13] could someone help me test an installation? i just need you to telnet to 76.71.172.220 on port 2223 and tell me if you get a debian prompt [08:13] it works locally but i need to make sure it works from remote hosts before i leave this computer [08:13] zortec: Gotta start closing up which means bed time for me in a bit... see ya later [08:13] Night all~ [08:14] Arkhalis: Night man [08:14] MachinTruc, I?l test it for you [08:14] ok, thx [08:15] Trying 76.71.172.220... [08:15] telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused [08:15] rrajaratnam@webserver:~$ [08:15] did you specify port 2223? [08:15] MachinTruc, I send you result in pm [08:15] MachinTruc, I did [08:15] Stanley_, : er, sorry, try telinit 3 [08:15] How do add a kernel enty to grub [08:15] To clear out all the kernels at boot is a grub thing or CLI thing, there are for or five kernels to choose from now and I think I want to clean that up a bit? [08:16] ok the question sounds weird .. but i am calling a function repeatedly.. i want an english term which signifies "calling the function again and again" [08:16] Stanley_, : it'll kill any graphical ui you have running though [08:16] loof: still nothing [08:16] thomthom you need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [08:16] and you're in as root? [08:16] yea [08:16] Is there a command in the terminal to log all messages that are printed during rpmbuild -bb of the kernel.spec file? Including all warnings etc? [08:16] echo? [08:16] root@my-computer:/# [08:16] I know that, I need to find the correct information about the kernel [08:17] osxfr33k: For that I'd set up a cron job [08:17] loof: or you can install Startup-Manager :) [08:17] hmnn [08:17] loof: I second Startup-Manager === mafsi_ is now known as mafsi [08:17] zortec, never used a cron before [08:17] sleepy_cat if the funtion calls itself, it's recursivly, otherwise, I don't know how to call it ... :) [08:17] so echo will not do the job? [08:18] no not like that [08:18] i am calling that function at time 0 then again at time 2 and again at time 5 [08:18] thomthom which correct information ? there can be a lot [08:18] loof: let me reboot first and i'll be back and try those commands again [08:18] so .. i am calling it.. its not recursive [08:18] Stanley_, : or you could use startup-manager (i've never used it). i'm pretty sure there's also a keypress (escape maybe?) during boot to give you a list of boot options, of which a console with & without networking is an option [08:18] how to phrase it in english [08:18] sleepy_cat, recurring? [08:19] recurring [08:19] hmm.. not sure [08:19] periodic ? [08:19] when I installed the new kernel through synaptics I was doing something else while and when it asks you what to do with menu.lst I wasn't paying attention and kept the installed version [08:19] no not periodic [08:20] i think repeatedly .. sounds more appropriate [08:20] can anyone tell me what is the best app for desklets/widgets? [08:20] recurring is also proper [08:20] I didn't do the thre way merge like I usually do [08:20] loof, Stanley_: You can just use escape during the boot up. [08:20] what looks better repeatedly or recurringly.. [08:20] Oh, for my problem earlier I removed network manager and installed wicd if anyone wants to know [08:21] the sentence is ".. when the function is called ........." [08:21] thomthom, you could also probably reinstall the latest kernel, right? [08:21] loof: init 3 and telinit 3 are both still not working [08:21] osxfr33k: Logs? http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-gnome-system-log-viewer/ [08:21] thomthom, so you just have to look inside /boot to see the version of your new kernel and then add a line with the correct kernel name inside menu.lst [08:21] where is the problem ? [08:21] How do i rename a GDM Theme [08:21] I have a question concerning 8.10-9.04 upgrade: I have a minimal install of Intrepid; if I upgrade, will it stay "minimal" ? [08:21] I mean I'm no tsure if it's not going to instlal any addidtional stuff that I simply don't need [08:21] unitheroy: I tried that [08:22] alkamid: It depends what packages you pull in. [08:22] Stanley_, : or you could use startup-manager (i've never used it). i'm pretty sure there's also a keypress (escape maybe?) during boot to give you a list of boot options, of which a console with & without networking is an option [08:22] zortec: what does it mean? [08:22] alkamid: What does 'minimal' mean, is that what you want to know? [08:22] alkamid: Make a good backup now, you cannot go wrong with that. [08:23] Stanley: do zortec confirmed, you can hit esc during bootup to get the boot options screen, from there boot to console with networking, and install the driver there as root [08:23] hi [08:23] could someone help me test an installation? i just need you to telnet to 76.71.172.220 on port 2223 and tell me if you get a debian prompt [08:23] thomthom pastebin ls /boot and cat /boot/grub/menu.lst [08:24] MachinTruc: Sure, one second [08:24] !pastebin [08:24] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[08:24] yes [08:24] lol [08:25] it works, unitheory just did it. Thanks for the help. [08:25] alkamid: Okee dokee, just makes sense to me to back up anything before making any changes or even if a power surge hits or whatever, I am big on backups. [08:26] vigo, that might help with a lot of the warning and install messages. I just want to catch all tha gets printed in the terminal window to a text or file [08:26] any simple way of doing this? [08:26] no automoc packag for hardy. Any idea howto get? [08:26] and ita almost 30 minutes of messages [08:26] i removed some locals with localpurge, is there any way to restore those? [08:26] how do u see who is online [08:27] osxfr33k, i think you can append ">> file.txt" (or something like that) to the end of the command [08:27] jerroome: http://pastebin.ca/1470820 [08:28] osxfr33k, or rather just > file.txt [08:28] ya I think that works for most of the messages but the warning and some minor things don't get printed into the file that way [08:28] osxfr33k: Erm, I use to know that script, is like /mv or something, but with a lot more calls. Yeah, unitheory is on the right track. [08:28] So > rather than >> [08:28] osxfr33k, for instance if you "ls > list.txt" you get a file with the output of ls [08:28] Will it catch the warning messages? [08:29] how about this [08:29] rpmbuild -bb kernel.spec [08:29] very lengthy [08:29] I copied and pasted the 2.6.30-5kernel then change it 2.6.30-9. but that didn't work === kipas_angin is now known as myphnix [08:29] <_ruben> why build a kernel rpm for ubuntu?

Can I use grub/lilo/whatever to give me a choice between the two, AFTER I've chosen to boot the USB stick without a harddrive === MITHU_ is now known as papul [08:36] subdolus: I am not sure, try two LiveCDs or have you tried a LiveUSB. [08:37] jerroome: thanks, what did you do differently, I copied and pasted 2.6.30.5 entry then changed 2.6.30-5 to 2.6.30-9 [08:37] subdolus: excellent question, been wondering the same for a while [08:37] but it didn't work when I did it that way [08:38] I can't imagine why it wouldn't work [08:38] When I hit escape on bootup I have 5 options, Ubuntu, Ubuntu Generic, Ubuntu, Ubuntu Generic, and Memtest [08:38] just after some suggestions/direction [08:38] nothing about booting to terminal [08:38] subdolus : I'm sure it works, I already did it [08:38] thomthom I did the same [08:38] jerroome: how did you acheive it? === jer_ is now known as Cosmorph [08:39] anybody on here really good with ubuntu i mean ungoldy good [08:39] are you supposed to update-grub after you add the entry?

[08:41] Stanley_, : it's after that, it's after you've selected your os. [08:42] rablais try changing your audio playback matching the device u have there should be several options for the audio config [08:42] sometimes the defulat or pic auto detect is not as good [08:42] Stanley_, : i'm just kinda now realizing, you might just wanna install the drivers via the restricted drivers option in system->administration->hardware drivers =S [08:43] Will I get the same performane loof? [08:43] which virtual machiine is better virtual box or vmware,,or is thr any other more better one [08:43] Stanley_: What kernel are you using now? [08:43] close, the drivers will only be a couple months older [08:43] Somebody in #nvidia also suggested "apt-get install nvidia-glx" [08:43] ashlessburn: what? how does that affect the bufferring of the recording device? [08:43] vigo: latest, just downloaded today [08:43] it can by using a diffrent config [08:44] ashlessburn: I don't follow, can you explain a little more?

I'm just feeding it /dev/dsp...should I give it something else/ [08:45] (I have a raid0 issue at the moment, I dunno if it could be related) [08:45] loof: Would "apt-get install nvidia-glx" work better ? [08:45] hmm just a feed. shouldnt tech be affected however what ubuntu version are you on [08:46] moin [08:46] Stanley_, : i *think* it would pull the same date/version, depends on if you want to do it commandline or via the gui [08:46] ashlessburn: the command I'm issuing is "aplay /dev/dsp" if that's wrong, then what command should I use to play back the microphone input from the console? [08:47] should be a simple audio setting actualyl which u can test through GUI try going into your sound prefrences and test it through gui [08:47] hey all, is there anybody who can help with kmyfirewall configuration?

[08:54] Firefox [08:54] Apollo2366: everything is in your home directory /home/ [08:54] Apollo2366: firefox is in /home//.mozilla === CaptainChaos is now known as Cunctator [08:55] rabelais: those are the configuration settings, not all the program files :) [08:55] Apollo2366: to see all this files provided by a package you can do dpkg -L [08:56] ziroday: apologies, I figured he was asking for the user-specific program files [08:56] How do you get the reverse of that -- i.e. what file does a package belong to? [08:56] how can i see if python is installed in my system? [08:56] ok be back later try my luck [08:56] Maelos: install the apt-file application [08:56] I'm running kMyFirewall with sudo command so with root access but it won't change iptables even if it shwos that it changed [08:56] today's update removed lots of mono packages, , are they cleaning it up?

[08:57] * i_am_an_indian asks if there are any indians here :) [08:58] i_am_an_indian: aren't there two types of them? you didn't specified which one :) [08:58] cemc: evolution should have that ability [08:58] ktne: You can use aptitude or apt-get to install mplayer.

[08:59] ziroday: thanks [08:59] ziroday: I'm looking for something more light than evolution, something that could fetch the emails in a maildir [08:59] ktne: You can also use aptitude to search for packages, for instance: sudo aptitude search mplay will pull up all packages that are related to that term [08:59] Okay, that didn't seem to help much. What I'm really trying to do is install an extension from an .xpi file. Can anyone tell me how to do it?

[09:00] Myrtti: whats that? [09:00] Apollo2366: you should just be able to reference the file from firefox (use file:///) and it should give you the install prompt [09:00] vigo: try mutt, very light [09:00] right repo, as defined by sources [09:00] Im more interested in the local dpkg db [09:01] rabelais, Thanks I'll try it.

[09:01] i have found, but they are all 64bit [09:01] ActionParsnip: Thank you, I use Mutt on gNewSense. I like it! [09:02] ktne: I just ran the search and there is an mplayer package.

[09:09] ActionParsnip, all sources found on Google are version specific [09:09] I saw that it's possible to user some folders like /home as a mount point for partitions... but is it possible to use /home/$user as a mount point for a partition? [09:09] Myrtti: ok i have joined [09:09] use* [09:09] I think the docs in ubuntu are great, but it seems a lot of issues are unresolved [09:09] chanux: then you will need to compile it, find an alternative, or upgrade to a release with it in [09:09] ActionParsnip, Only availble for Intrepid+ [09:09] ActionParsnip: how to install the package?

[09:14] martens1984, After you get that error, try apt-get -f install to force an install of the files that didn't get loaded because of the error. Then try apt-get upgrade again, apt-get -f install back and forth until only the package that has the error is left.

[09:19] ActionParsnip: yes, right. last time it's just /dev/sdb without /dev/sdb1 :D [09:19] losher: worse case scenario. You search google and ubuntu docs and don't find anything and no other users have had the problem you are. [09:19] the_undefined, what motherboard do u have [09:19] any ideas? :) [09:19] ActionParsnip: yes but on the page it says: "Please note that you should install language-support-syr" and i can't find that one [09:19] so i should apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-intel-2%3a2.7.99.901 and apt-get install .... what? === chanux is now known as ARiDAK [09:19] chanux: each relelase uses different kernel versions for a start. as well as other differences.

[09:19] nahira: then try and find it, you may need a ppa [09:19] zortec: I think locating info is a general problem, not specific to Ubuntu. And it predates the internet...

[09:20] ashlessburn: how would I update the bios? [09:21] zortec: one of the advantages of running e.g. 8.04 instead of 9.04 is that you're much less likely to run into problems that haven't been solved [09:21] ubuntu works on an ipod?

[09:22] the_undefined, that is dependant of the baord...asus has easy flash utility however generic would be go to the board website get the latest bios extract the bin file and boot to floppy (with bin file on floppy) on some boards they support the usb flash drives [09:22] any help?

[09:26] Stanley_: You need to turn on compiz. [09:26] zortec: no. 8.04 has had bugfixes applied to it for ages, so it's very stable. 9.04 on the other hand, is new, and hence much more likely to have bugs in it...

[09:57] zortec: my windows flashed a bit [09:58] Stanley_: Is compiz working now? [09:58] denny: What's the hundred papercuts list? [09:58] zortec: how can i tell? if i go into visual effects and go to "extra" it still gives me the error "The composite extension is not available" [09:59] Stanley_: Minimize windows or close windows and you should see desktop effects if they are working [09:59] any female like to chat with me [09:59] Ritz2007: this isn't that kind of channel [09:59] zortec: nope [09:59] cant get you dear [09:59] Stanley_: We will keep working at it [10:00] Ritz2007: this channel is for ubuntu support only, not other stuff [10:01] zortec: a list of UI annoyances that should be fixed before 9.10 [10:02] I'd like to add 'windows don't restore to their last position' to it === MakX is now known as MakX_ [10:02] denny: that's up to the application itself to implement === MakX_ is now known as MakX [10:02] jrib: you're missing my point [10:02] and it shouldn't be, anyway [10:02] Stanley_: Try updating your nvidia drivers using synpatic [10:03] Stanley_: err, synaptic [10:03] Don't Repeat Yourself - the window manager should handle window placement, giving the app a chance to override if it wants to [10:03] each app shouldn't have to implement position-memory separately, that's pretty stupid [10:04] zortec: how do i go about that? [10:05] Stanley_: You said this was a new install, did you do anything at the cli with your nvidia drivers? [10:06] zortec: cli being terminal? [10:06] Stanley_: yeah, what drivers do you have installed, can you go in synaptic and let me know? [10:06] Stanley_: is it the ubuntu-restricted or linux-restricted drivers? [10:07] how can I tell what version of flashplayer I have? [10:07] Stanley_: For your particular video card, you might have to install the drivers from the official nvidia site [10:08] zortec: Could it be an issue with me running two monitors on my gtx-260 and one monitor on my 9500GT? [10:08] BigMike, type 'about:plugins' in your firefox url bar [10:08] ok [10:08] BigMike: Just a guess, but probably there is a --version switch you can use from the cli [10:08] ty [10:08] Stanley_: It could be an issue. Have you tested it with just one monitor? [10:09] zortec: Nope. [10:09] zortec: I think i'm using nvidia-glx-180 [10:09] ok guess there is a flash update now [10:09] does ubuntu have that suare box thing for the desktops [10:10] square [10:10] zortec & ashlessburn , this is my sdb partition after i re-format my mp3 under win*** http://e-frame.pastebin.com/m7e5ee1a4 [10:10] Stanley_: There is a bug related to that driver package [10:11] Stanley_: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-180/+bug/231697/+viewstatus [10:11] Stanley_: See if that is the problem you are having.

[10:14] Stanley_: You don't want to disable X, but you can restart X [10:15] zortec: it tells me x needs to be disabled to install [10:15] hi to all [10:15] baker [10:16] Stanley_: Try this, go to System->Administration->Services [10:16] rabelais:i am in office now, lspci == Broadcom BCM5754 [10:16] Stanley_: From there you can disable the graphical login manager [10:17] zortec: how do i turn it bak on?

See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [10:35] ok well I fixed mine by adding to the hosts file [10:35] salut [10:37] Did Stanley ever come back? [10:37] ubuntu is pretty stable for sure [10:37] Stanley_: I was just checking if you were back [10:37] zortec: Not yet [10:37] hi, I'm running hardy heron and I need newer version of pygobject than is in the repository, what options do I have (other than upgrade my ubuntu installation)? [10:38] So I went back to the 173 restricted driver and my video card wasn't supported so X wouldnt' start. so while I had no X i installed the 185 drivers which wouldnt' work either so I loaded into "low graphics mode" and re-enabled the 180 drier sfrom the restricted menu and i'm back and running again [10:38] halldor89: You would have to search the net for the latest package [10:38] halldor89: backports or installing a new version by hand [10:38] halldor89: You could try enabling more repositories if you haven't done so [10:38] !backport | halldor89 [10:38] halldor89: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [10:39] iceroot: thanks a lot, that's probably what I'm looking for [10:39] zortec: thanks :) see above! [10:40] well thats easy [10:40] Stanley_: I'm not sure what you want me to see above [10:40] So I went back to the 173 restricted driver and my video card wasn't supported so X wouldnt' start. so while I had no X i installed the 185 drivers which wouldnt' work either so I loaded into "low graphics mode" and re-enabled the 180 drier sfrom the restricted menu and i'm back and running ag [10:40] halldor89: also have a look at apt-pinning because if you enable backports ALL packages are upgraded [10:40] e-frame, thats easy unetbootin [10:41] !apt-pinning | halldor89 [10:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about apt-pinning [10:41] hm [10:41] hi, I've a minimal installation of 8.04. dpkg-reconfiture locales does nothing, and directory /var/lib/locales/supported.d/ is empty. "locales" package is installed, what else do I miss? [10:41] I just want to change to it_IT-UTF8 [10:41] zortec: just to my explanation of what happened [10:41] Stanley_: Ok I see it now, let me read [10:41] iceroot: which problems can that cause (everything being upgraded)? [10:42] Stanley_: Great, so you have compiz working with dual monitors? [10:42] ashlessburn: yea, i've tried unetbootin. thx [10:42] Well, no, I'm back to the 180 drivers I had originally [10:42] zortec: so nothings really changed [10:42] halldor89: for e.g. if firefox 3.1 is in backports you will get it if you have installed firefox 3.0 [10:43] halldor89: so apt-pinning can hold back the other packages [10:43] iceroot: thx, I'll look into it [10:43] i have a file that im trying to get off a hdd and i keep getting an I/O error so someone told me to try and snapshot the image and put it on another drive and then pull it off the new drive that works....he told me to install linux and do something with lvm but then after that i had to go home after work, i really need to get this file off this hdd, can anyone help? [10:43] Stanley_: so you still have no compiz? [10:43] halldor89: also you can just upgrade one package, enable backports then sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get install pprogam-you-want-upgrade [10:43] zortec: correct, also still on the driver version that has the bug [10:43] can anyone tell me the version of the tg3 driver that is included with jaunty? I have downloaded 3.92 from broadcom,but dont want to build it if ubuntu already has this version [10:43] hello :) [10:44] markit: sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales [10:44] Stanley_: Ok what were your video cards again?

[12:17] Mash, dont repeat [12:17] Goutam: No. I redirected the command to you. ubottu is not that intelligent. ;) [12:18] In order to get circular scrolling and double finger scrolling working for my touchpad, is it preferable to edit xorg.conf, or install gsynaptics? (Xubuntu 8.04) [12:18] Goutam: in a way, someon wrote !X11 |Goutam ,and ubottu then got its entry for X11 and displayed it [12:18] mobi-sheep: oh my god.... irc is great ... i dnt know why was i stuck wid IMs for so many days for technical information........ [12:19] Goutam: some questions are asked a lot, so it's easier to save stuff in ubottu than repeating the whole thing [12:19] mobi-sheep: which setting enables the ubuntu notification thingie though [12:19] bob_rock, try this: Modeline "1125x864" 48.96 1125 1064 1168 1312 864 601 604 622 -HSync +VSync # 60 Hz [12:19] my flash is lagging all the time when i go to scribd.com [12:19] Goutam: IRC was used by people to keep in constant information during World War II and such. :) [12:19] jack@AlexDej:~$ pidgin [12:19] warning: incompatible stripping characters and condition: [12:19] SFX [12:19] hi [12:19] what should i do about this because it doesn't really work [12:19] what`s this ?

[12:19] PervertedMonk: I think it's already toggled on. [12:19] the rest work okay, but this one keeps asking for a password === ck is now known as Guest72782 [12:20] mobi-sheep: umm...IRC was created in 1988 [12:20] User's $Home/.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default session language from being saved. File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions. User's $home directory must be owned by user and not writable by other users - i get this on login, how can i remedy it? [12:20] that sucks...it highlights my nick in red in Xchat mobi-sheep but no ubuntu notification appears [12:20] mobi-sheep: that would mean IRC was something like 20 years older than the internet :D [12:20] mobi-sheep: s/20/40 [12:21] natschil: Err.. Maybe not World War II but a similar small regional/international wars. :) [12:21] cyberghoser1: ok i ll try it and doing sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop right [12:21] natschil, mobi-sheep: ahh yes, the IRC-over-morse-code protocol :) [12:21] PervertedMonk: When closing XChat, does XChat go to a tray? [12:21] "not world war II but similar small regional wars" :) [12:21] mobi-sheep: yes [12:21] small? religeous? << offtopic? [12:22] PervertedMonk: Okay. Close it. I'll send you a message in 10 seconds. [12:22] Bodsda: yeah, sorry [12:22] How can I make keyrong store passwords? [12:22] ty :) [12:22] PervertedMonk: Test. [12:22] please tell me what is wrong with flash in ubuntu [12:22] i need to read the document from scribd [12:22] On Debian it remembered synaptics password. On Ubuntu it doesn't [12:22] *keyring [12:23] mobi-sheep: the xchat icon blinks :) but i was talking about the ubuntu notification like when transmission finishes downloading a torrent [12:23] Janhouse: run it with gksudo synaptic [12:23] !keyring |Janhouse [12:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about keyring [12:24] !keyring [12:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about keyring [12:24] ActionParsnip, I can't edit menu. [12:24] Janhouse: which menu? [12:25] main menu [12:25] I hate that I have to retype password every time [12:25] Janhouse: is it editable with a right click then choose something from there? [12:26] Why keyring doesn't store those passwords? [12:26] Janhouse: its security. once you et setup yu will rarely type it [12:26] What is the updating policy of Ubuntu? I have Glade installed from repo (3.6.3) but glade is already at 3.6.6 [12:26] will Ubuntu update to 3.6.6? [12:26] !latest | the_dark_warrio [12:26] the_dark_warrio: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. [12:26] But it doesn't even offer to remember those passwords. [12:27] the_dark_warrio: it gets updated when it gets updated. if you can find a ppa or deb with the newer version on then go for it [12:27] Janhouse: it does for a short time [12:27] I see. Thanks! [12:27] Hi. Does anyone know how to get the width+height of a terminal. Here I think in how many number of chars there can be horizontally and vertically. [12:28] After I installed jaunty it asked it, yes. I told it to remember password. it seems like it store them in /dev/null :D [12:28] Janhouse: are you on about so you dont have to password up for sudo, or are you talking about something like wireless security keys? [12:29] frm [12:29] For beginning I would like keyring to remember sudo password. [12:29] sziasztok [12:30] Janhouse: if you want to edit your gnome menus you can use alacarte [12:30] !info alacarte [12:30] alacarte (source: alacarte): easy GNOME menu editing tool. In component main, is optional. Version 0.11.10-0ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 55 kB, installed size 1240 kB [12:30] So I don't have to enter it every time I am trying to install .deb package or something like that [12:30] mobi-sheep: san? [12:30] Janhouse: not going to happen. you willalways be asked for security verification [12:31] PervertedMonk: Send me a message in 10 second. [12:31] Janhouse: you can use sudo -i to get an elevated console which you can run your admin tasks in [12:31] Sucks. On Debian there was option to remember my password for ever. [12:31] Janhouse: keep its use to a minimal though [12:31] what about putting NOPASSWD in sudoers file? [12:31] Janhouse: dont you think that is massively unsecure? [12:31] mobi-sheep: This is gmathews [12:31] Can't I decide what is secure for me? [12:31] mobi-sheep: come in mobi-sheep san [12:32] Hey guys. I have a problem with the sensors plugin. It works ok, but every time it gets loaded at startup I get an error that "hddtemp" was not executed correctly. Is there any way to fix this? [12:32] No freedom for users... [12:32] Janhouse: ubuntu is aimed at folks new to linux so it trys to enforce a lot of security by default so newbs can be ok [12:32] achillion: what does /etc/init.d/hddtemp start say? [12:32] Janhouse: see vega 's comment about NOPASSWD [12:32] I am just saying that it should offer remembering passwords. [12:32] Janhouse: you can configure it differently but i refuse to support it. too many users doing it then breaking their systems [12:32] Hello people ... what to do when the partitioner hangs at 33% during install? [12:32] achillion: or if you don't want that at all you can do sudo apt-get remove hddtemp all together and then dpkg-reconfigure sensors-applet [12:32] Janhouse: it does for a grace period, then you will be asked again [12:32] tunnuz: wait [12:33] Janhouse: if you run: sudo apt-get update [12:33] ziroday, I'll wait, but is there a timeout? [12:33] PervertedMonk: I got the notify-osb message -- but not when the XChat is active (displayed) on Windows. [12:33] I need help with Samba: how can you add more than 1 path in the parameter? (for example I want 1 user can access 2 paths on the server, do I use ";" or "," or ..?) thanx alot [12:33] ziroday, I could wait for hours :) [12:33] User's $Home/.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default session language from being saved. File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions. User's $home directory must be owned by user and not writable by other users - i get this on login, how can i remedy it? [12:33] tunnuz: no, its partitioning correct? [12:33] Janhouse: then run: sudo apt-get upgrade you are not asked for your password on the upgrade as you are in the grace period [12:33] hm, that might work. Before it kept telling me that I didn't have hddtemp. Would reconfiguring it make it stop looking for hddtemp? [12:33] ziroday, what do you mean? [12:33] ActionParsnip, this problem with keyring not remembering passwords on ubuntu is main reason I am mostly using terminal... [12:33] tunnuz: which part of the install is at? [12:33] :D [12:33] achillion: yes [12:33] great [12:34] ziroday, it's creating the ext3 file system. [12:34] thanks! [12:34] mobi-sheep: what does that mean...and how do u get the notify-osb message [12:34] laeg: run sudo chmod 644 ~/.dmrc [12:34] tunnuz: check your install media [12:34] I hate typing my Uber long password every time I want to update my sistem [12:34] *system [12:34] tunnuz: and how large is the hard drive/partition? [12:34] ziroday, 80 GB [12:34] Janhouse: you can use sudo -i to get an interactive sudo and you can run multiple cli commands without worrying about the sudo timer expiring [12:34] Janhouse: You are terminal? [12:34] tunnuz: then you will need to wait (a while) [12:34] tunnuz: you may have burned a bad cd. you can do a disc check i think right at boot [12:35] Janhouse: you could cron a script to run as root to upgrade your system while you sleep / are at work [12:35] scales11, I checked the install media, and there was a problem with libradius, then I burned another one, now the problem is with libruby, but I don't think that libruby is fundamental for partitioning. [12:35] hi. i want to prevent my system from loading the floppy module on boot. i've added it to /etc/modprobe.d/backlist.conf, but that isn't helping. i'm sure i've spelled it correctly. [12:35] scales11: its really not a good idea to interrupt an install, especially during the formatting stage [12:35] Bodsda: done, is that it? [12:35] laeg: possibly, try it [12:35] Bodsda: ty mate [12:35] That is not a solution. I guess I am too used to Debian. I will have to get used to Ubuntu and the way it works. [12:35] PervertedMonk: Join #xchat -- I'm there and I just asked the question. [12:35] ziroday, ok I'll wait for a while [12:35] ziroday: i dont disagree with you there, i meant to check it before hand. [12:35] tunnuz: it may be needed for programs that are programmed with ruby [12:36] sjokkis: its /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist (no .conf) and the syntax is blacklist [12:36] laeg: your welcome [12:36] lstarnes, yes but during install? [12:36] but it is like going back to Windows where it asks "Are you sure???". Only in this case I have to enter LONG password to move on. [12:36] anyway I'm downloading a new image ... just in case [12:36] ziroday, I just reloaded and it's fine. Thanks for the help! [12:36] tunnuz: if you are getting errors then something is wrong with your disc, i dont think you can just elude to the fact that one .dll is corrupt and figure it will install ok [12:36] Janhouse: You could also change your system so that it works just like Debian. [12:36] achillion: have fun [12:37] ziroday: strange. i had a file named /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf from before. isn't the old syntax (without .conf) deprecated recently? perhaps that's where the problem is [12:37] Janhouse: its a good security measure and is much more secure than users logging on as root and runing web apps which is massively unsecure [12:37] scales11, that's why I'm downloading a new image [12:37] tunnuz: check out the md5sums before and after buring the disk, if having trouble downloading use a download manager or bittorrent [12:37] I am not talking about running web apps as root. :D [12:37] ziroday: no bother. i'll just add a symlink [12:37] sjokkis: nope, its always been /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist AFAIK [12:37] I am talking about running synaptics at my home. [12:38] Janhouse: i know but its that sort of security imposed by using sudo [12:38] very strange. anyway. thank you ziroday [12:38] Janhouse: the fact of the matter is, it is there for a reason, If you truly understand all the consequences then you should be able to discover for yourself how to remove the behaviour [12:38] tunnuz: well then that is good. bad cds happe, you can also run a chksum before you burn it, to make sure your image is good [12:38] sjokkis: have fun [12:38] Bodsda: +1 there [12:38] just a quick note to those who kept saying we cannot boot up on a RAID1/10 array, it IS possible and it works. [12:38] Bodsda, yeah. I will eventualy :D [12:39] chevdor: sure is, get a raid card and you can have any level of raid yo desire [12:39] yo yo [12:39] poof ur a yo yo [12:39] yo yo sjokkis [12:39] Xcell, ?? [12:39] Janhouse: then I wish you good luck in your adventures, as long as they are not in this channel as that would be unfair to new users with itchy terminal fingers [12:40] lol itchy terminal fingers... [12:40] apt-get removebillgates [12:40] ActionParsnip: well people kepts saying this is not possible :) I am using no raid card but the NVIDIA nForce4 on chipset, also called FakeRaid or whatever [12:40] !ot > Xcell [12:40] Xcell, please see my private message [12:41] chevdor: yeah fakeraid suck imho [12:41] ActionParsnip: fakeraid works imo :) (not enough experience using it to say it sucks), so far the bench under windows showed great results, windows installs in 8 minutes.... [12:42] chevdor: try a raid card with 256Mb cache [12:42] chevdor: 'installs' in 8 minutes, it can barely start the setup procedure in that time on a non-raid 1.8ghz machine [12:42] &avatar [12:42] ActionParsnip: pci ? [12:42] chevdor: pci-x [12:42] scales11, in fact ... the md5 is ok [12:42] ActionParsnip: because then you are limited to the pci / pci-x bandwidth [12:43] tunnuz: ok [12:43] PervertedMonk: Hi. [12:43] should I burn it from an ubuntu machine? [12:43] I'm using OSX to burn it [12:43] Bodsda: not saying this is good or not, that it boots or not.... I am saying, usually it takes around 40 minutes (on my pc) and now it is down to 8 minutes, on the same pc [12:43] tunnuz: should make no difference, just burn at a low speed [12:44] mobi-sheep: :) === intel is now known as yeniklasorr [12:44] chevdor: wow, thats good :) [12:44] ActionParsnip: you are running it ? what is the price ? that would be nice to compare [12:44] PervertedMonk: Hmm. It does not work. You're looking at... (Let me get it). [12:44] mobi-sheep: is there an osd plugin? [12:44] Bodsda, like 8x or like 2x? [12:44] chevdor: its less bursty though due to the cache === yeniklasorr is now known as yeniklasor [12:44] PervertedMonk: If you're using Ubuntu Jaunty, it's already installed. [12:44] Bodsda: to be VERY honnest I had crappy HD before because I always thought it does not change anything... well it does ! [12:44] tunnuz: your burning the ubuntu cd yeah? slowest possible for most accurate results [12:44] Anybody know any good tutorials for stripping down a ubuntu install to use it as a fast, lean media-center? I've already got boxee (and some other apps) installed but I the machine to boot faster and be a little more responsive [12:45] chevdor: yeah, i have had similar experiences with hd speed [12:45] Oli```: run: dpkg -l | less [12:45] ActionParsnip: with my current solution, cache is not bad because I have 4x32Mo... well let's count 2x32Mo because Mirroring does not improve speed [12:45] Oli```: read through the apps and remove what you do not use. rubbish like evolution, evince, openoffice, gimp are good starts [12:45] PervertedMonk: Look under XChat Preferences --> Chattings --> Alerts [12:45] any gedit experts on? :) [12:45] Oli```: you can start from ubuntu-minimal and then build what you need, or use the XBMC live usb. If you want to improve boot time then profiling it is probably your best bet [12:46] mobi-sheep: on jaunty..but maybe an xchat plug in? [12:46] how do i configure my broadband on ubuntu? [12:46] Oli```: 'stripping down' and 'media-center' dont usually go in the same sentence, but try something like minimal ubuntu + fluxbox, or puppylinux as a base [12:46] !anyone | nate[oz] [12:46] nate[oz]: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [12:46] PervertedMonk: You want to toggle on "Show tray ballons on: " -- Say my name now. [12:46] mobi-sheep: ! [12:46] i have been searching forums without any luck: none of the methods work... [12:46] nate[oz]: its a text editor, not much to be expert in really [12:46] Bodsda: going from a crappy hd to a nice one helps a bit, plus adding raid0 makes it very nice (raid 10 even better in my case because I did not like the x2 failure factor of raid 0 :)) [12:46] ceal: pppoe? [12:46] chevdor: yeah [12:46] usr13: yeah [12:47] !pppoe | ceal [12:47] ceal: Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE [12:47] chevdor: and raid0 isntstrictly raid ;) [12:47] where is smb.conf? [12:47] hi i'm trying to track total size of action on my local area network using libpcap. i'm looking for example code or some good tutorial. can someone please help me? [12:47] Bodsda, thank you [12:47] zopiac: /etc/samba/smb.conf [12:47] ActionParsnip: thanks [12:47] usr13: i tried this method [12:47] What is ChanServ? Would #ubuntu considered as ChanServ ? [12:47] tunnuz: your welcome [12:47] usr13:it keeps saying nothing found [12:47] mobi-sheep: no, chanserv is a bot [12:47] ActionParsnip: that sounds like trolling... I won't go into this and just say : yes indeed, thus the name "0", and I don't use raid 0 anyway but raid 10 [12:47] ceal: Tell us more. [12:47] mobi-sheep: chanserv is a service offered by freenode, more information in #freenode [12:48] first about the connection [12:48] ActionParsnip it becomes more complicated when plugin development comes into play [12:48] it's not programmed into my modem [12:48] chevdor: well theres no redundncy in raid0, and the r in raid stands for redundant [12:48] i have to double click an icon and it asks for password and i connect like that in windows [12:48] chevdor: it uses the same mechanics of multiple drive acces but isnt true raid [12:49] hold on let me tell you the exact error i get... [12:49] mobi-sheep: beep me [12:49] ActionParsnip: the I stands for inexpensive, but thats relative to how much you paid, :) === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam [12:49] PervertedMonk: Beep. [12:49] mobi-sheep: yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [12:49] ActionParsnip: raid 0 has been a result of the RAID architecture, now the meaning of raid is more 'multiple disks'. Now I agree w/ you, when someone says I use raid0 to make it more secure, i start feeling bad :) [12:49] PervertedMonk: It worked when your XChat is not active, right? [12:49] bobslaede: true but they can be inexpensive, there is stil no redundancy in raid0 [12:49] ceal: Did you use pppoeconf? [12:49] yep mobi-sheep [12:50] usr13: yes i did [12:50] makes nosense if it was active though mobi-sheep [12:50] PervertedMonk: Yeah. Mine too. I'm trying to figure out how we can do this with XChat window displaying. [12:50] chevdor: true but theres still no redundancy so isnt true raid in a sense of the acronym [12:50] chevdor: otherwise you are right [12:50] ActionParsnip: do you run your pci-x card on your pc ? Do you know of a linux hd benchmark software ? if so, we could compare, that would be fun :))) [12:50] ceal: Tell us the exact error? [12:50] hold on [12:51] chevdor: no idea duder === sejo is now known as AnotherKnightWho [12:51] PervertedMonk: Well -- Yes but I'm trying to figure out. Beep me.

[12:58] hey everyone [12:58] heres a post that I came across on a forum [12:58] " [12:58] So we need to build interesting new feedback loops such as using a PA system, and/or personal amplification devices (with headphones), a voice synthesizer to help amplify certain qualities &/or annoyances... an oscilloscope for visual feedback on various vocal effects, and also a histogram display for visual feedback on what frequencies we're producing. Once multiple rounds of that have been experienced, NLPers are far more capable [12:58] of hearing differently and adjusting their own output with greater efficacy and consistency.

[14:03] xD [14:03] !ot > schaf-lappy [14:03] schaf-lappy, please see my private message [14:03] OK, I figured out how to set Opera as the default browser even when it wouldnt work via System>Preferences>Preferred Apps. I made an html file, right clicked it and chose to open the file with Opera instead of FF3 as the default app. Problem solved. [14:03] neongrau: can you modify the settings in /etc/default/sendmail? [14:03] scunizi: I'm having trouble getting an IP from dhcp. Can get the network if I set it static and I can see the request for an address on the router, but it doesn't accept the response.

I've been using kate under KDE, but I am stuck with Gnome for now [14:03] usr13: seem my wlan0 cannot be stopped and it says ERROR: Can't change MAC: interface up or not permission: Device or resource busy [14:03] neongrau: its supposed to do that. the process that you think of, sendmail is on half of the smtp archtecture. When your email client sends mail (when you do) you connect to one part, it then tells the other part to pass that mail on. Its suposed to be like that, its part of the architecture, its part of security, and its supposed to be like that [14:04] neongrau: that isnt a ubuntu thing btw its a smtp and sendmail thing [14:04] bob_rock: mkdir bin ; cd bin ; nano on-off-nic ; #add lines as needed ; chmod 4755 on-off-nic ; visudo ; (add line): bob_rock ALL=NOPASSWD:/home/rob_rock/bin/on-off-net [14:05] AzMoo: the firewall wouldn't be preventing that. but it was a good thought.

[14:06] AzMoo: how? [14:06] natschil, I could, but that would require installing kdesdk, and several hundred mb of libraries [14:06] Can someone help me?

Gnome feels like an alien land after using KDE for 5 years solid [14:07] scunizi: DHCP had a reservation for the MAC with the wrong hostname. Switched it to the correct hostname and everything came good. [14:07] neongrau: do you mean you want to have the init script use those? change them to sendmail.cf and submit.cf [14:07] I tried chown mysql:mysql but it doesn't work [14:07] brianV: I know the feeling :) [14:07] scunizi: ta for the response :) [14:07] AzMoo: np :) [14:07] mdm: exactly, the config part of sendmail is perfectly fine. just the starting/stoppting via the init script is my prob [14:08] scunizi: having said that, *is* there somewhere to modify the firewall, for future reference? [14:08] neongrau: either rename sendmail-rx.cf to submit.cf or change the init script [14:08] usr13: scirpt always says error (ERROR: Can't change MAC: interface up or not permission: Device or resource busy) [14:08] !ufw | AzMoo this is popular but doesn't touch everything iptables can do.

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).

[14:08] neongrau: as for the queue options you have to change those as well, altho the only thing I notice that inst normal is the log level [14:09] bob_rock: if you change the nic you must first take it down, ifconfig eth0 down [14:09] bob_rock, did your resolution got fixed finaly ? [14:09] scunizi: nice one, thanks. I've played with iptables a bit in the past for masquerading, so I'm not entirely unfamiliar. [14:09] bob_rock: How old are you? [14:10] dhh [14:10] cyberghoser1: hey good to see you. After digging my machine, the way to change resolution permanently is just go to System -> Preferences -> Display. No need to dig up my /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Just reboot my machine and it stays to resolution what i want.

[14:16] hi all [14:16] if yes, you can certainly read from, you need to find the right id [14:16] neongrau: between pidof and xargs, i think you can whip something up to solve that :-) [14:17] neongrau: use /etc/init.d/sendmail stop to stop sendmail [14:17] and then try to dump the content with od or hexdump [14:17] sure. but it'd nice to know why a brand new install of ubuntu isn't behaving like any other linux used the last 10 years [14:17] !vnc | enovativ [14:17] enovativ: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [14:17] anyone here using ubuntu as a streaming media server? more specifically, do you know of any server software that is better than mediatomb? [14:17] if your able to dump, you're able to read [14:18] and neongrau no sendmail does not run as sendmail, it runs as sendmail-mta and sendmail-msa [14:18] enovativ: The guide do include ssh-over-vnc.

[14:19] neongrau: it might be useful to try with the verbose (-v) switch, to get more data. my guess is that the process name is confusing killall. [14:20] enovativ, FreeNX is faster and more secure I'd recommend that over VNC [14:21] mdm: sort of. I currently have a SuSE box setup with mediatomb that streams audio and video to my PS3 which serves as a media extender. This box is "headless" and not in the lounge near the TV (which is good because my lounge is quiet). It's been over a year (maybe two) since I set this up and I'm wondering if there;s anything better out there as I'm about to migrate the box to ubuntu [14:21] Hey when I do a chown 700 onto a symlink do I change the insides of the symlink too?

I assume that is what you mean by streaming [14:24] i want to see my linux box from work, but i do not have the "rights" to install software on my machine at work [14:25] mdm: yup [14:25] enovativ, yes.

[14:26] SHBot: uname -a could tell you you are running a amd64 kernel even if your system is a 32 bit install [14:27] enovativ, SSH requires a application as well [14:27] aethelrick: others use it to (the ps3 I know). But I own neither a mac nor a ps3 myself. Its anything that can read the actual myth stream or UPNP [14:27] stew: who would be doing that?

[14:31] mdm: thats a more reasonable reason, thanks [14:31] sarmisak: because pretty much people should never use --force-anything, and lots of this proprietary software isn't available as a .deb anyway [14:31] enovativ: VNC is slow -- even on local network. [14:31] stew: if you are compiling it, it should compile for 64bit easily. if it is a .bin file, then you are right [14:31] Bodsda: it was simply an example, i wouldnt call it more reasonable. [14:32] weel [14:32] is there a way to union of two thing s on ubuntu [14:32] i downloaded video which is two parts [14:32] mdm: its a more likely example then running a 32bit distro on a 64bit kernel [14:32] i convert it to mp3 and i put on my mp3 player [14:32] mobi-sheep: so is there a way to access my linux box from a web browser ...securely...without installing a client on my windoze box at work ? [14:32] delopart: cat file1.ext file2.ext > newfile.ext [14:32] sarmisak: neither, and some of the i386 stuff i'm using doesn't have source available. some of the stuff can't be compiled for 64bit easily. other stuff I'm using can be compiled for 64 bit easily, and it doesn't work [14:33] but this is two partes i need one part to listen easily [14:33] *.pl = pearl?

The checksum is correct before burning and the verification after burning says it's ok. [14:44] And of course the partitioning still hangs at 33%. [14:44] tuntun accessing ntfs isn't fast at all on linux, so putting swap onto is a very bad idea [14:44] tuntun: contrary to CI, yes you can make swap on a nfs partition.

[15:09] Does anyone else have the problem with apt-get update/upgrade starts and on larger files, a few Megabytes or more, comes to a screaching crawl. But only from the main archive.ubuntu.com repository. I use a different one mostly, but it's been going on for a while with the main one. [15:10] burno: usually only windows that "require attention" show in all viewport's taskbars. Is pidgin trying to inform you of something, perhaps? [15:11] usr13: sorry you miss my point - the system has functioned fine until the last few days. The driver works, there's no issues there. If i suspend and resume it's fine and if I hibernate too. However if I shutdown and boot I get a blank screen. Running repair mode and xorg's check util finds xorg.conf errors and repairs them.

Do you have the hard drive currently accessible in Ubuntu? [15:17] burno: Toggle off "Insert number of messages in your X property" and try now. If that does not work, well, nevermind then. It's a bug. [15:17] mobi-sheep: i can't toggle it, when i'm noch in the viewport, where the program is [15:17] usr13: thanks for your help, I think we're looking at different issues though - I need to go, I'll check in with the Xorg team later.

[15:45] Maximo: try google, there are tons of websites that can send free texts, and you can probably set up a cURL script to do it automatically. also, that kind of question needs to go in #ubuntu-offtopic [15:46] morning [15:46] maveas: If the drive is truly broken, you will need to get another working drive of the same type and take it appart (in a clean room) and switch platters. [15:46] can someone teach me how to install planeshift un jaunty [15:46] !hi | HaliFax [15:46] HaliFax: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [15:46] thnx [15:46] maveas: Or pay someone else to do it for you. [15:46] Why Ubuntu? [15:46] squircle: thanks for you reply and soon joining #ubuntu-offtopic.. [15:46] And why Debian? [15:46] No thanks [15:46] maveas, u can try some data recovery tools .. [15:46] usr13: no thanks man [15:47] bt it will have to mount somehow .. [15:47] oh god [15:47] greyghost: what am I looking for ? I see this "OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 945G GEM 20090326 2009Q1 RC2 x86/MMX/SSE2" ... [15:48] I will [15:48] joeyeye, wats uxa acceleration? [15:48] hi #ubuntu, i'm having a problem doing administrative actions through GNOME apps. For instance, whenever I go to add a user, the "Unlock" button is greyed out and the tooltip says "This action is not allowed". however, I can still gksudo and it'll work. any ideas? [15:49] greyghost: it's an Xorg option as far as I understand [15:49] maveas can u tell , you want to create the image file in your drive ? right ? [15:49] squircle: you (or a group you belong to) are in the sudoers list? [15:49] any reason why i cant increase the size of partition on gparted? i can shrink but cant utilise the empty space. im on live cd. [15:49] joeyeye, hmm .. i dnt knw much .. but glxinfo gives u driver info and version .. [15:49] squircle: (just checking the basics... lemme know if you've already covered those) [15:50] mbeierl: yeah, I am, and I can use sudo fine in the terminal, as well as gksudo. [15:50] greyghost: glxinfo gives me the opengl version [15:50] Husaini: huh? [15:50] squircle: adding users is an administrative task, as such needs admin rights. This is why it is greyed out for your normal user account and why it requires sudo access to run [15:50] Husaini, he has a drive .. it is broken .. he wants to try and create an image of it to try and recover data [15:50] mdm: but would the "unlock" button not do that for him? [15:50] mdm: I know that, normally I just click on unlock and type in the administrative (root) password, but it has stopped becoming available for me to click [15:50] it used to work [15:51] maveas , look and read your notice , good luck :) [15:51] joeyeye, no .. driver too OpenGL version string vendor string etc [15:51] Someone know a nice tutorial how to install and set up php5-cgi? [15:51] <_whiff> Will Office 2007 work with Wine 1.1.24(under Interpid) [15:51] mbeierl and mdm: it works when I'm at the machine locally, but if I'm accessing it through VNC or NX, it won't work, but I can still just run gksudo [15:51] !appdb | _whiff [15:51] _whiff: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [15:52] <_whiff> ubottu: You a bot? [15:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about You a bot? [15:52] squircle: oh. Interesting. That's something different as if somehow the remote control is not allowing you to do a sudo-like operation... [15:52] _whiff: You probably will face less issues if you were to run Windows XP in !virtualbox and install Office 2007 in it. [15:52] squircle: if you are already accessing it remotly just use adduser [15:52] <_whiff> ubottu: Never mind, I got my answer. [15:52] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:53] I resolved my problem. [15:53] <_whiff> mobi-sheep: I'll try wine first. I don't own a copy of XP. [15:53] n-iCe if you said like , what are you using now ? as i know ubuntu and debian is easy to manage :) [15:54] sfire: kind of like setting up a cURL script to answer automatically... [15:54] _whiff, office 2007 works nicely under wine, have you checked the appdb? [15:54] mdm and mbeierl: it's not just adding users, it's any GNOME administration program that requires root access in the admin menu (users, services etc.), but ones that open directly as root (with gksudo) still pop up the box for the root password and work fine, it's just these magic unlock buttons have stopped working. if I knew the app names, i could just run gksudo system-config-users or whatever, but these magic buttons wont' work anymore. [15:54] are there any good open source ivr systems out there that run on linux? [15:55] squircle: yes, I see that, and it appears that there's been some bugs reported on it, for example: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit/+bug/238799 [15:55] imatech: asterisk [15:55] squircle, did you uninstall policykit? [15:55] <_whiff> cabrey: Not installable according to them. [15:55] squircle: users-admin ? [15:55] cabrey: no [15:55] has anyone had a problem with UrbanTerror (and i assume others also), going from fullscreen to windowed for no reason, and then losing all keyboard/mouse control? [15:55] _whiff, oh yes I ran into that problem also, I managed to get around it [15:55] mobi-sheep: it doesn't work if I go to run command -> gksudo system-config-users [15:55] _whiff, it was a regression [15:56] cabrey: is policykit uninstallable? [15:56] squircle: I mean "gksudo users-admin" [15:56] squircle, you might've accidentally uninstalled it :/ [15:56] thanks mdm...i see YATE in my package manager.. [15:56] <_whiff> cabrey: So, its worth a try? [15:56] have you used asterisk? [15:56] _whiff, yea there is a tutorial somewhere, let me find it [15:56] mobi-sheep: it still launches as a normal user (despite asking for my password) and the unlock button is still greyed out [15:57] <_whiff> cabrey: http://samanathon.com/how-to-install-microsoft-office-2007-in-ubuntu-9-04/ <-- This one? [15:57] squircle: I think comment #10 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit/+bug/238799/comments/10) is pretty telling - it looks like VNC is treated as a remote login and if the remote logins are disallowed, then policykit won't auth you [15:57] imatech: I use trixbox, its has aserisk on it yes [15:57] squircle: read post #6 and 7 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7298159 [15:57] how do I convert rpm package to deb? [15:57] !alien [15:57] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [15:57] cabrey and mobi-sheep and mbeierl and legend2440: I'm using NX, not VNC, would this still apply? [15:57] _whiff, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1173365 [15:58] _whiff, or that one, but that one is a bit misleading [15:59] squircle: probably, but I don't use NX much so I can't confirm. [15:59] there is a cpanel for create users in linux and set their personal webpage in home? [15:59] schmidtm: Are you sure there is not a deb version of it you can get? [16:00] <_whiff> cabrey: "I suggest start with version 1.1.12 to 1.1.16" Nothing below 1.1.18 is available. [16:00] schmidtm: What are you wanting to install? [16:00] egw_, a what to do what? [16:00] mbeierl: i checked and dpkg says policykit is installed, so I'll assume it's this bug. is there any way other than gksudo to launch the users admin panel as root? [16:00] i have a test host for personal webpages [16:00] but i want to be more autmatically [16:00] server/user [16:01] mbeierl: even sudo users-admin from a terminal doesn't work [16:01] squircle: you want the GTK graphical panel? [16:01] !nvidia > me [16:01] legend2440, please see my private message [16:01] hey guys whats up [16:01] a good day from me to u [16:01] i got this issue guys [16:02] !ask | ndy40 [16:02] ndy40: 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. :-) [16:02] mbeierl: preferably, if not, i could just use the terminal and adduser blah blah blah [16:02] ndy40: We all got issues. :( [16:02] i have finally been able to get ubuntu 8.04 to see my wireless hardware on my presario cq40 [16:02] are there any good web based media players? I want to be able to play music directly from my NAS via a web portal [16:03] to get it to work i had to compile the driver supplied by broadcom [16:03] mbeierl: it says in the comments on this bug that *somehow* the policykit policy can be adjusted [16:03] and now my wireless is up but [16:03] when i restart system it no longer comes on [16:03] i have to run modprobe wl.ko [16:03] My X/Display Manager/Window manager is broken somehow; I just installed xubuntu 9.04. The desktop looked fine right after install. I rebooted, and none of the widgets appear when X starts up. [16:04] and i think from the readme file the mention this has a fault on 8.04 [16:04] pls help i messed with my source list and know i cannot update [16:04] someone pls help [16:04] luckyone, edna works as a web server - http://edna.sourceforge.net/ === galois_ is now known as galois- [16:04] ndy40, add wl to /etc/modules .. that will load wl module on boot [16:04] elcomprendo, can you post the output of cat /etc/apt/sources.list - use pastebin [16:05] i dont understand this bit " 1. Move the file in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins for a site-wide install (or in ~/.mozilla/plugins for a single-user install):" what file ??? check this site https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMD64/FirefoxAndPlugins?action=show&redirect=FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [16:05] so i humbly ask how do i rectify this and get my wireless comeon automatically [16:06] I was hoping ubuntu would be user friendly enough for a "normal" person to use. :-\ [16:06] hy [16:06] spaceball1: it is [16:06] For getting wireless to work, I would agree with spaceball1. However, I can't demand it to work 100% flawless. [16:07] mbeierl: found it, it's sudo ck-launch-session polkit-gnome-authorization to change the policykit settings, thanks for all your help, i guess i'll stick around and answer some other, less technical questions ;) [16:07] mdm: Well, I haven't done anything "weird", and I'm pretty sure any normal person would give up at this point. The system is unusable. [16:07] s/the/my/ [16:07] squircle: YAY! sorry - was away from keyboard for a moment there and just catching up [16:07] spaceball1: other then installing some packages with apt, all of my boxes were little more then boot the cd and install the os [16:08] spaceball1: it is comfortable to learn [16:08] mbeierl: now i just have to figure out what policykit settings to change, and, for once, google isn't helping [16:08] so, anyone know if there is a way to get the distribution update to use a specific mirror? The one that it's using for me right now is really slow [16:08] I have no big problems with ubuntu, except wireless. [16:08] spaceball1, describe "unusable" [16:08] spaceball1: its how u approach [16:08] :) [16:08] spaceball1: I had issues with 9.04 and xfce my self. Lost my panel and didn't want to give it back. [16:08] When I turn on the computer, all I see is a blue screen and a mouse pointer. [16:08] s/screen/background [16:08] spaceball1, what video card? [16:08] spaceball1: granted I gave them all static ip addresses, and hand did the resolv.conf. But other then that almost everything installed and ran fine. That wich didnt run fine required me to configure it before it ran. It was really that simple [16:09] Halitech, I'm not sure; I could open up the computer to find out, perhaps. [16:09] mbeierl: System>Administration>software sources [16:09] spaceball1, is anything installed on it right now? [16:09] Gird3r: Put the right wireless card in and it works fine. [16:09] Halitech: It displayed correctly on initial install, but after reboot, X never came back to life "correctly". [16:09] spaceball1: if its the first time u are using ??? [16:09] Halitech: No. [16:09] erUSUL_: that'll change it for the dist upgrade too? Thanks! [16:10] krishmish: I've used linuxes a plenty personally, but yes, this is my first time on this system and with xubuntu 9.04 specifically. [16:10] spaceball1, ok, sounds to me like you were using the livecd to install which worked okay but didn't set up properly on reboot [16:10] Halitech: No, it booted from the hard drive just fine the first time. [16:10] someone help me to setup a nokia 3600 slide camera [16:10] ? [16:10] to use it whit gyache? [16:11] Halitech: I did change the resolution from 1600x1200 to 1024x768. [16:11] spaceball1: hmm...then im surprised however how u could find it difficult...cos i myself learnt it first thing first time before i could get to any linux distro [16:11] Hello! I just installed Linux Jaunty (9.04) and this is my first time trying Linux. I have been searching Google for an answer to the following but with no solution. -- Is there any way to get an external monitor through VGA to work with version 9.04? I have a HP Mini Note 2133. [16:11] spaceball1: :-) [16:11] Halitech: (that is the only thing I did; 1600x1200 was hard to read on this screen). [16:11] ndy40, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-942105.html [16:11] usr13: Well, it's not a internal card, it's an USB stick that I plugged in, I got the driver to work. Now I need to get the damn thing to connect to my wireless router. I tried with network manager but that one is.. well. Bleep beyond belief. So after searching i tried that network thingy, wich is way more friendly. [16:12] spaceball1, might be the native driver didn't like the resolution, I would figure out what card it is and install the proper driver [16:12] But I still have not succseded in getting it to connect anywhere. [16:12] KlingaN: isnt it like u wanna use it as a projection? [16:12] Halitech. Hmm... any chance you know how to change the resolution to 1600x1200 in some xorg.conf file or something? [16:13] /etc/X11/xorg.conf it should be [16:13] spaceball1: dakarn is right [16:13] spaceball1, Ubuntu does everything automagically so hard to edit things [16:13] elcomprendo, wats the error? [16:13] spaceball1: i had such an issue myself [16:13] I've looked there, and it had no resolution settings, AFAICT. Hmm... [16:13] spaceball1: i had to google for it [16:13] Halitech: i just found that out through playing with policykit: hard to edit default policy ;) [16:14] Gird3r: first off this is a hardware and driver issue, not a linux or ubu issue. Secondly I would think that if you put gasoline in your diesel truck it will not work, no matter if gassoline trucks are more popular and for years you have put gassoline in your car and it "always" worked [16:14] Nobody who can help me in my matter? [16:14] mmm there's a lot of people who use chopped up distros of ubuntu and they don't have all the pretty gnome packages for setting everything up via gui [16:14] Gird3r: I on the other hand plugged an ethernet cable into the rj45 socket and it works, without anything "special" [16:14] squircle, I know they are doing it to make things easier for new users but when things don't work right, makes it hell to correct [16:15] I got the ndiswrapper to "wrap" the rt73 driver to my USB stick. [16:15] im running ubuntu on this slightly older computer. would i see a significant speed increase if i change to xubuntu? possible to do without new clean install? [16:15] How do I format a drive with ext3? [16:15] hai [16:15] ubuntunom: I've been running xubuntu and from personal experience I find it quite faster on my old laptop. you can apt-get xubuntu-desktop to have access to xfce from the login screen [16:15] scottg: fdisk [16:16] CPU load averages 1.16 (1 min), that is 1.16% CPU, right? [16:16] !xfce ? ubuntunom [16:16] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:16] dakarn: Ah that was the name. Ok ill read the man page [16:16] !xfce | ubuntunom [16:16] ubuntunom, possible but hard to say as the newer xubuntu isn't that light anymore ... if you want to check, open a terminal and do sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop, log out and then change the session to xfce and log back in [16:16] Halitech: exactly. it took me half an hour just to find out how to launch the policykit editor, of course, how would a new user know what policykit is, and why would they want to change it. oh well, i guess we'll have to adapt. [16:16] ScottG: fsck.ext3 [16:16] Meh, after having been playing around with the terminal for 3 days and constanly trying commands I have been told to try, I might just continue using terminal. [16:16] ScottG: use gparted [16:16] vigge_sWe: 116% and they are considerd extremly roguh estimates, and often quite wrong [16:16] erUSUL_: Thats true I could. Whats wrong with fdisk though? [16:16] and ScottG you create filesystems with mkfs [16:16] ubuntunom: xfce is faster than gnome, you could just install the new WM because technically xubuntu has all the same packages and libraries as ubuntu [16:17] ScottG: fdisk only does partitions it can not format them [16:17] squircle, I hope they change things back somewhat to allow manual configuration [16:17] spaceball1: pls try this to reconfigure....sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [16:17] OK you guys have just thrown like 4 different commands at me. What do I use? [16:17] ScottG: if you want to format via cli use mke2fs [16:17] say i have a starnge question, im looking for something that will let me know if bad weather is coming on linux. there are a ton of apps for windows that will do it, will linux weatherbug or something do it? [16:17] ScottG: To format /dev/hdb1 in the ext3 filesystem do: sudo fsck.ext3 /dev/hdb1 [16:17] So I installed the ATi propietary driver. It works decently; except that at proper resolution for my 23'' monitor, it's displaying it over approximately a 19'' area, leaving a black border around the edge of the display. What should I do to fix this? [16:17] dakarn: so i'll just apt-get install xfce? [16:18] ScottG: gparted is a gui program that make it easy to do all sorts of disk editing [16:18] !xfce [16:18] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [16:18] ScottG: So chage hdb1 to suit your needs. [16:18] Halitech: Some super-intelligent person will come up with a custom-crafted ubuntu-based distro that allows custom configuration. Of course, I always install from the alternate CD, configure LVM, and install the base system first, edit all the config files, then install GNOME on top of that. it's my roundabout "expert" way of doing things :) [16:18] ubuntunom: yes then select xfce4 as the xsession at login [16:18] ScottG: if installed is aviable in system>Adminstration>Disk Editor [16:18] erUSUL_: He asked about formatting, not partitioning. [16:18] Oh, and also, if I do Ctrl-Alt-Del, the screen fades out. If I do Ctrl-Alt-Del again, I see a "unlock screen" windows. I can type in the window and unlock the screen. [16:18] hey [16:18] i'm just testing irc [16:18] mdm: The method to get the USB stick to connect to my wireless router is not a disscussion point. For me I don't care if I have have to type 10-20 or more commands into terminal, or go edit some files here and there. (Well the exception would be having to compile the drivers in c, wich is far beyond my knowledge, spare because I have only used ubuntu for like 4 days). [16:18] Hylian: tons, from plugins to web brosers to desktop apps, even in METARS [16:18] ScottG: partition editor Disk Editor [16:18] dakarn: can i make it permanent choice xfce? so it wont even ask it? [16:19] ubuntunom: It will ask if you want it as the default upon login. [16:19] Gird3r: it is becase you are using a hack to get windows drivers to work on a linux box [16:19] squircle, I do close to the same but I use the debian net install cd [16:19] there are tons of weather apps, thats true, but i have had a hard time finding one that will make an audible sound when bas weather apporaches.. [16:19] ty [16:19] spaceball1: if your menus and panels are missing try opening terminal and type xfce4-panel [16:19] Gird3r: Look at the results of fdisk -l to see that you are looking at the right drive. [16:19] !purekde | ubuntunom .. follow the uninstall instructions for gnome [16:19] ubuntunom .. follow the uninstall instructions for gnome: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » === yofel_ is now known as yofel [16:19] ScottG: Look at the results of fdisk -l to see that you are looking at the right drive. [16:19] *bad weather approaches lol [16:19] legend2440: Any idea how to open a terminal? [16:20] mdm: Output was: gird3r@gird3r-ftw:~$ fdisk -l [16:20] gird3r@gird3r-ftw:~$ [16:20] Hello, when I "sudo apt-get update" I get "E: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/https could not be found." I think this is preventing me from getting some latest packages with added repos in sources.list. How can I fix this? [16:20] In short terms, got nothing. [16:20] spaceball1: alt+f2 [16:20] Datz: You're trying to install from a secure HTTP mirror, something your apt doesn't support, use an HTTP/FTP mirror instead [16:20] legend2440: Hmm... I don't think that worked for me.. I can try again... [16:20] join #ci [16:20] Gird3r: you have to do it as an admin user, i.e. use sudo [16:20] bastidrazor: i wouldn't remove all the gnome packages without knowing what dependencies are needed [16:21] Halitech: that's especially useful, especially when you have a machine that won't boot off cds, i have to load the debian installer through floppies, and then apply the ubuntu bootstrapper. all i can afford are old pentium II servers [16:21] Okay. [16:21] i guess what i want is a desktop app or something, not a webpage, i want it to make a sound if bad weather shows up [16:21] squircle: So I should remove the repo with the https? [16:21] usr13: Yea I know I am. I have mounted it. I have just unplugged it and plugged it in a few times so its all the way to e [16:21] from sources.list? [16:21] legend2440: (I mean Alt-F2 didn't seem to switch screens) [16:21] !conky |hylian [16:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about conky [16:21] Datz: yes [16:21] thanks [16:21] So I installed the ATi propietary driver. It works decently; except that at proper resolution for my 23'' monitor, it's displaying it over approximately a 19'' area, leaving a black border around the edge of the display. What should I do to fix this? Running Ubuntu 9.04 with an ATi Radeon HD4830 on a Hannspree HF237 23'' HDMI monitor. [16:21] I had this problem in Windows 7, too, but it was easily fixed by adjusting a setting that doesn't seem to be in Linux's version of Catalyst. [16:21] !conky [16:21] hylian: you should look at conky. you can make it display pretty much anything on your desktop [16:21] so conky will do that.. thanx [16:22] conky will do many things, try not to get overwhelmed =) [16:22] spaceball1: alt+f2 should pop up a box called Run Application [16:22] legend2440: But thanks for the xfce4_panel tip. [16:22] ScottG: You should un-mount it before unplugging it. [16:22] dakarn, installing xfce after the gnome uninstall will fix all required dependencies [16:22] legend2440: Ah! [16:22] squircle, thankfully the systems I've been working on lately will boot from cd and after Debian 5 you can't use floppies to boot any longer as the kernel is just too big now [16:22] Datz, or u can try installing apt-transport-https [16:22] Halitech: that's why it's such a pain ;) [16:22] mdm: I only got output about my hardrives. It shows nothing about any wireless or any network related. [16:22] ok, but just to be anally clear, the only thing i need it to do is make a audible sound when bad weather apporaches, and it will do that, right? LOL [16:22] Datz, *if u have to use that repo .. [16:22] legend2440: Thanks, that sounds like a good guess. I'm going to have to leave irc to try this. xfce4_panel was the command you recommend? With no flags? [16:23] Gird3r: I wasnt the one who told you to run fdisk. I dont know why you did it to begin with [16:23] y [16:23] Oh [16:23] thanx all [16:23] bastidrazor: doesn't networkmanager-gnome require the gnome dependencies? [16:23] COnfused myself. [16:23] squircle, yeah, I'm hoping my little endeavor to revive old computers won't require me to resort to boot from floppies :( [16:23] :s [16:23] Ah, there, the setting that isn't available to be changed freely is Display Scaling I believe; where it has an option to scale image to full panel size, or No Scaling. It's set to full panel size- why isn't it using the entire size of my display? Is Xorg somehow detecting it totally wrong? [16:23] usr13: Hm, damn I might not have. I will remember that [16:23] spaceball1: xfce4-panel with no flags [16:23] GreyGhost: I don't remember what it was for anymore, update worked now. :) [16:23] Halitech: hopefully the manufacturers will release a BIOS update to allow that from time to time, unlike dell :( [16:24] Gird3r: if you want to list the interface try ifconfig -a, assming the install worked it would have created one [16:24] legend2440: Thanks; I'll give that a go. Thanks all; hopefully I'll sign in again with a working X... [16:24] usr13: Is there any way I can make /dev label it as sdb. Kinda annoying its all the way to e [16:24] Datz, i suggested just in case u wanted something from that https repo .. [16:24] anyway ..bbl [16:24] mdm: I got information about my networking. Also about wlan0 and some wierd wlan0:avahi [16:24] squircle, GreyGhost: Now I have a new problem. What can I do to fix this? http://pastebin.com/m53954f51 [16:25] Gird3r: sorry aslso assuming it is a 802.11 usb stick and not a GMRS or EDGE thing [16:25] squircle, hard to say but when you are dealing with old P2's I doubt it [16:25] mdm: Maybe I should provide more information. :p [16:25] squircle, GreyGhost: Install transmission? [16:25] Datz: GreyGhost is gone, and the problem is that you need a newer version of transmission-common [16:26] Datz: sudo apt-get -f install [16:26] mdm: Lsusb shows: Bus 004 Device 002: ID 148f:2573 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2501USB Wireless Adapter [16:26] god i'm too used to arch but they did some annoying things to the repos aaa [16:26] Datz: try installing transmission-common, then transmission-cli [16:26] Gird3r: no the fact you said it was a wlan0 tells me what it is and that its using the avahi daemon [16:26] squircle: usr13: thanks [16:26] :) [16:26] why is it that i cant increase my partition size in gparted live even though i have unallocated space? [16:26] * Datz has join/parts disabled on IRC ;) [16:27] thank you my flahsplaer works berfectly [16:27] mdm: THe avahi appeared when I was playing around with the ndiswrapper and adding rt73 drivers and trying to get the wireless to have that driver "wrapped" as the documents on ubuntu FAQ told me to do. [16:27] ubuntunom: what filesystem is it? [16:27] <|Ryan> what's the command to download a torrent in command line? [16:27] ubuntunom: Are you mounted on the partition you're trying to resize? [16:27] mdm: Note it was windows drivers. [16:27] ubuntunom: Are there other partitons on either side? If so, you will need to move one. [16:27] edbian: it's gparted live, so it wouldn't be mounted by default [16:28] ubuntunom: I recommend PartedMagic anyways, a *lot* better than gparted live [16:28] Gird3r: avahi is a configuration daemon for it. I would think it ran it when you wanted to use WPA for the network [16:28] ubuntunom: Is it part of an extended partition with a swap partitions (that is mounted possibly) ? [16:28] usr13: I don't know if that command fixed anything. squircle: transmission-common is at the newest version. [16:28] edbian: im on livecd. partition to resize is ext3. to its left is unallocatd space [16:28] mdm: Okay. [16:28] |Ryan, if you use transmission you can have it monitor a directory for .torrent files.. you could wget the .torrent file and it would start. [16:28] Hello, I'd like to know how to check if ubuntu recognizes my GPU and uses the radeon drivers [16:28] squircle: Mounted? You may be using wrong term... [16:28] legend: It worked! [16:29] hi after i followed this : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=208855 im stuck at find /boot/grub/stage1...it says no file found :( [16:29] (since X configures everything all by itself, xorg.conf won't help) [16:29] usr13: you can't resize a mounted filesystem, and gparted live boots off a CD, i'm using the right term [16:29] ubuntunom: Is there corruption? It gives no errors? Is there a little orange emergency sign in the list of drives? [16:29] Datz: That means that transmission-common is already installed. [16:29] Datz: it's just a mismatch between dependencies... can you just not sudo aptitude install transmission? [16:29] spaceball1: good but unfortunately next time you reboot they may disappear again [16:29] squircle: Oh yea.... ok. [16:29] I've never run a 64-bit version of Linux. Does it run well? Any unique problems that I may run into from a 64-bit install? [16:29] Thanks! I don't know why xfce4-panel did not start up, but typing it in a terminal brought it back up. [16:29] spaceball1: good but unfortunately next time you reboot they may disappear again [16:30] edbian: no all looks clean ... [16:30] mdm: I tried compiling the original Ralink drivers, it failed and I found no solution for getting the maker to work. I tried wrapping the rt73 driver supplied from the cd (copied to harddrive first) after playing around I finnaly got the driver to show up under wlan 0. Network manager loosed the connect to hidden essid or what it is called under the process. [16:30] legened2440: Right; I'll try to figure out what happened. But at least I can switch windows now and use firefox, etc. [16:30] firecrotch: i'm using ubuntu 64-bit right now, and it's perfect, just make sure you have a 64-bit processor [16:30] squircle: But if he's using bparted from a Live CD, why would it mount the partitions? That does not make any sense. [16:30] firecrotch: you might find software which is only 32 bit [16:30] Gird3r: do you mean your AP isnt brodcasting its SID? === keppchen is now known as rotkeppchen [16:30] Hello, I'd like to know how to check if ubuntu recognizes my GPU and uses the radeon drivers. OS: Ultimate edition (ubuntu gutsy) [16:30] usr13: it wouldn't, but somebody else said the partitions might be mounted, but they wouldn't be because he/she is running them off a CD [16:31] running gparted* [16:31] !ATI | OldEagle [16:31] OldEagle: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [16:31] !hardware | OldEagle [16:31] OldEagle: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [16:31] mdm: I dunno. I don't know so much more. I'm pretty much clueless about how all this works. [16:31] OldEagle, ultimate edition isn't suported here.. but you can do less /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see if it loads radeon drivers [16:32] there is a key sign on linux partition and swap ... does it mean its locked somehow? i am on live cd though [16:32] squircle: But 32 bit software can be run on the 64bit versions of Ubuntu, right? And I'm sure I have a 64-bit processor... running Vista x64 on it right now :) [16:32] are any of those 100 paper cuts to be addressed better dual monitor support? where can I send suggestions? [16:32] Gird3r: you have an AP, maybe an AP built into something else (like a router/firewall). It can be set to NOT brodcast its id. This is actualy one way of securing i. But when you did it means nothing can find it to autoconfigure it. So you have to do it by hand [16:32] anyone who can help me with gfxboot ?? [16:33] hi! my hibernate/suspend/resume works.. but i have to press Enter a couple of times.. any idea how to troubleshoot this problem? [16:33] Anyone know how well ubuntu works on the Dell D600? [16:33] ubuntunom: Assuming you're in gparted, right-click the partition in question and choose "unmount" or "swapoff" [16:33] I used the network tool in system (had to install the tool) to assign an ESSID and turn DHCP on on wlan0. [16:33] Im planning on getting that notebook but if wireless is no go im not getting it. [16:33] Thanks you guys. I've read all the articles inthe world on how to install video drivers to no luck. If Ultimate edition is not supported here, sorry for asking, but its Ubuntu after all with a bunch of eye candies and other stuff [16:33] firecrotch: as long as the 32-bit libraries are installed, yes. for instance, FirstClass comes in 32-bit only, i just had to install some 32-bit libraries (which should be installed by default, if not, there's just a few 32-bit library packages to be installed). i have tons of experience with 32-bit dependencies and libraries and stuff, so if you need any help, i'm usually around :) [16:33] Darael: unmount is grayed out [16:33] dva5912: Works fine. [16:33] firecrotch: also see here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790 [16:34] dva5912: Oh wait, dono about D600, mine is X600 sorry. [16:34] squircle: Much thanks :D [16:34] :\ [16:34] mdm:The AP I tried to assign manually via terminal, but it did not change the AP line uner wlan0. [16:34] firecrotch: anytime :) [16:34] ello [16:34] dva5912: But probably just fine... dono what the difference is tho. [16:34] ubuntunom: hmm... that's odd... try swapoffing the swap first? an extended partiton keeps the key icon until all its component partitions are unmounted or swapoffed as appropriate [16:35] Hi, is there a way to jump to a safe mode GUI with a keyboard shortcut? [16:35] mdm: with the command sudo iwconfig wlan0 ap mac adress [16:35] I dont ether usr13, but its linux.... It can be fixed :) i hope [16:35] this is hella tight never even knew about ubuntu before today [16:35] Datz1: Ctrl-Alt-F6 will take you to console mode. [16:35] Gird3r: I would think you had to turn on DHCP because you are not usuing static IPs, a common situation. [16:36] is it true you cant get virsuses on ubuntu? [16:36] Gird3r: that sounds correct. Did it now work? [16:36] not the big ones no [16:36] !virus [16:36] A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [16:36] micah: no, just that there are not very many [16:36] damn [16:36] mdm: wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:off/any [16:36] Mode:Auto Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated [16:36] Bit Rate:54 Mb/s Tx-Power:20 dBm Sensitivity=-121 dBm [16:36] RTS thr=2347 B Fragment thr=2346 B [16:36] Power Management:off [16:36] Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 [16:36] Gird3r: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:36] I have a problem with the resolution on my external screen, are any willing to help? [16:36] okay well thats good i gues [16:36] hello again, i am afriad conky isnt gonna work for me. i need something thats gonna start at boot, be on the desktop or deskbar, and give me audible weather alerts, anyone with any ideas? does weatherbug's linux distro do that, because i cant find any options for it...?? [16:37] spaceball1: read third post from bottom by Billi this is how he got xfce-panel to start on boot http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-415082.html [16:37] how do you go to your regular windows operating system when this is installed? [16:37] micah: becase of how linux, well unix, in general runs applicaitons you can not get one to infect antoher (one of the aspects of a virus). in fact its damn hard to get two programs to even talk to eachother (which is why they user things like semphores and sockets) [16:37] Hylian: You can make any program you want start at boot time (or log in) Do you want me to explain how? [16:37] WOuld the Del D600 be ok for me for internet (email, youtube, etc) and programming? [16:37] yes please edbian [16:38] i'm looking for something that is designed to hang around. not conky. although conky has some other uses.. [16:38] Gird3r: it looks liek you havnt finsihed setting it up [16:38] micah:? I was answering Hylian's question? [16:38] mdm: Okay. [16:38] Hylian: i like superkaramba :) [16:38] i have been looking on my own for 2 days. im starting to think i might have to use wine and a windows app [16:39] micah: If you want to reboot to windows, assuming you left it in place when you installed Ubuntu, you have an option at boot time. You can even make it default if you like [16:39] Hylian: "Hang Around" ? Conky will stay on the desktop until you log out. What do you mean Hang Around?? [16:39] hahaha [16:39] mdm: So how do I fix the ESSID and AP? Since nethier ESSID or AP get's set if I use respective command in terminal. [16:39] i downloaded superkaramaba, but i have been having a hard time finding a widget, because none of them that i have read list audible weather alerts as a possible option. in windows i have 3 options... [16:39] micah: Do you want help with something? I'll be glad to help! [16:39] Gird3r: Log on to the router and change settings. [16:40] edbian, i mean something that im not gonna accidentally close because it's listed in th taskbar below. [16:40] so conky is not an option for me, but thanx for the suggestion [16:40] mdm: Well, I can only acces it from dads laptop since he is connected to the router. And it has Vista on it. [16:40] Gird3r: Change settings so that essid is brodcasted and if the dhcp server is off, turn it on. [16:40] mdm: It's a dlink. [16:40] Gird3r: the easiest would be to wimply use network manager [16:40] Hylian: I beleive there are options you can set in Conky to have it not showup there [16:41] !wifi [16:41] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [16:41] Hylian: You can configure conky to do that. It is ridiculously configurable which I admit is daunting but that makes it powerful. I understand if you want to use another app but I think you should at least understand that conky is powerful enough to do what you have described so far. [16:41] Gird3r, plug in to the router via ethernet to get the initial set up. then you're good [16:41] im gonna be honest. i am looking for something relatively easy to set up. i want something thats gonna be install, choose possible sound, and enetr zipcode, tada, done. [16:42] mdm: I will take a look on the router and see if I find anything about essid. [16:42] Hylian: That's fine :) Thank conky is not a good choice :) [16:42] Thank conky* [16:42] Than conky** [16:42] if i had the know how then maybe, but i have to admit, the fact that conky looks like it's a terminal app doesnt fire my confidence. [16:42] micah: See my personal message?? [16:43] anyone know of a superkaramba widget that does this? [16:44] Hylian: So you want an app that can run a command on certain weather events. Is this correct? [16:44] he he i installed weatherbug, something i did not want to do, because it's adware. but it doesnt give me the option to have audible alerts, so i am thinking it doesnt have that option.. [16:44] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-panel/+bug/53897 mentions the same issue I ran into. [16:44] hi, when i install "unclutter" it seems to get auto-run with the args "-idle 1 -root" (which i don't want). how can i find out where it's being run from? [16:44] Hylian: Install something else. [16:45] no, i just want an app that will see that thunderstorm or tornado headin my way and will make a beep or something, so i can get out of the way. lived through one very close pass of a tornado, don't want to do it again, LOL :) [16:45] !chrome [16:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about chrome [16:45] usr13, that [16:45] is there a chrome variant for linux ? [16:45] hylian: conky isn't a terminal app, but you have to edit the .conf manually [16:45] usr13, that's a wonderfull idea, what? [16:45] Hylian: Weather Report [16:46] hi everyone [16:46] hi [16:46] herro === rotkeppchen is now known as greenkeppchen [16:46] Darael: said Could not deactivate Swap - Killed! Any ideas? [16:46] I have a problem with the resolution on my external screen, and I need some help - anybody?

[16:46] i have a broplem how to connect internet via ubuntu [16:46] jsjohnsen: what seems to be the issue? [16:46] anybody here who uses adobe air app tweetdeck in ubuntu? i have a question? [16:46] How do I disable the login bongo sound in Ubuntu 9? [16:46] ok, but i am looking for something more than a weather report. if that's all i wanted, i would never have even come here, there are web pages for that. i want an app that will alert me of bad weather, will weather report do that? === Unikum is now known as Iderik [16:47] monty_hall: its under settings->sound [16:47] monty_hall: System>Preferences>sound I believe there is a second tab for system sounds [16:47] ubuntunom: have a look in the system monitor and see if it's using the swap space. [16:47] i am using weather report now. nice app. [16:47] does anybody here use the adobe air application tweetdeck on linux? why is it asking me for my root password and then keyring password? [16:47] Darael: u reckon i dont have enough memory to deactivate swap? [16:48] ubuntunom: I dunno, but it's worth checking [16:48] but, unless im mistaken, it doesnt alert me to bad weather... [16:48] spaceball1: just curious why you don't just use Gnome instead? [16:48] firecrotch: I have a IBM R50e, connected to a samsung LCD. I can not get the resolution higher than the resolution of my laptop (1024x768). [16:48] anyone? [16:49] Hylian: Open the blinds. [16:49] 26 [16:49] Darael: 29% percent usage ... i wonder if i could kill enough programs for it not to use swap? [16:49] legend2440: Because I didn't know any better at the time; I was seeking a light-weight easy-to-use distro. This system is circa 2002. [16:49] Hylian: My PC won't cook my breakfast for me. :( [16:50] firecrotch: When I do different things only an area corresponding to 1024x768 pixels is active (unless I use 1024x768 then the entire scrreen is active) [16:50] ubuntunom: if you've got used swap and there's anything open you can close, try it. You could also remember the disk device name (/dev/something), close gparted and run "sudo swapoff devicefile" in a terminal where "devicefile" is the identifier given by gparted [16:50] usr13, have you read what i have written? i want audible alerts... audible.. [16:50] Anybody know a "light" music player? [16:50] Hylian: No, did not see that. [16:50] legend2440: I may indeed switch the window manager to gnome at this point, though. [16:50] spaceball1: ok wel if you wanted to try Gnome you can follow instructions on this page for removing xubuntu and installing Gnome http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [16:50] del_diablo: Graphical or CLI ?? [16:50] I went under sys->sound and nothing called "login" or similar. I played all sounds - no bongo. Actually I have sounds disabled. [16:51] legend2440: Thanks again. [16:51] del_diablo: try Audacious [16:51] edbian, so long it supports running in the systray [16:51] edbian, and is not MPD [16:51] Darael:i'll try killing it through terminal [16:51] del_diablo: What do you mean by "running in the system tray" ? Minimize to the tray and keep playing? [16:51] edbian: that it runs in the tray, in some way [16:52] The ubuntu uses grub2 correct?

[16:53] hiptobecubic, my default install of 9.04 uses grub not grub2 [16:53] Anyone here familiar with Banshee? I don't see a 'next' button to skip to the next track. That's fairly basic, so I assume it's there and I'm just hallucinating... right?

[16:53] del_diablo: Totem? [16:53] anybody know what the deadline for getting new package to Karmic universe is? [16:53] you can use ario (graphical player) with mpd [16:54] ubuntunom: you can tell it not to use swap with "sudo sysctl vm.swappiness=0", if that's any help [16:54] edbian: No tray support, and too bloat......... its a movie player on the top of that [16:54] ville__: See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KarmicReleaseSchedule and if that doesn't answer, try #ubuntu-motu === greenkeppchen is now known as pikepi [16:54] del_diablo: sudo apt-get install mplayer and then just mplayer [16:54] del_diablo: It is it's own "serveR" [16:54] exiale is another graphical player.

[16:58] gbw: Take a look at http://www.celticwolf.com/useful-information/faqs/26-pidgin-yahoo then [16:58] in jaunty's native ncv server is there a way to make it auto accept incoming connection? like if I set a password don't make it prompt on the local machine for permission to let the remote connection in [16:58] In Windows, the Control Center app had a slider for this. I can't seem to find one in the Linux version (argh) [16:58] DirectorBonesy: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [16:58] ah I'm reading where 2.6 kernels don't use memory_cs anymore [16:59] tophu: Under System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop [16:59] mdm: I used the network tool in System-administration to manually enter ESSID, ip-adress I wanted, gateway and subnet mask. [17:00] tophu: See the check box: "configure network automatically to accept connections" [17:00] ?? [17:00] lol I found it thank you [17:00] Gird3r: do not forget about encrytion and the key [17:00] tophu: NP [17:00] I even read that line 2 times :-( [17:00] mdm: The dlink is not encrypted. [17:00] this is why I love uuntu you guys always rock [17:00] laters [17:00] tophu: cya [17:00] ok, i guess then i have another question, if i manage to get one of those windoze progs to work via wine, then how would i have linux start it at boot up [17:01] and thanx for your patience [17:01] ubuntu has changed to uutu [17:01] Hylian: System -> Preferences -> Start Up Sessions [17:01] thanx dude [17:01] Darael: unfortunately doesnt work. i think i gotta del all linux partitions and make a new clean install ... crap! [17:01] Start Up Applications* [17:01] cool [17:02] ubuntunom: I'm sure you won't need to do that [17:02] Hylian: System > Preferneces > Sessions [17:02] what is the command to find what packages contain a file again? [17:02] fuck [17:02] ubuntunom: I have never had to reinstall and I've screwed things up faaaarrr worse [17:02] heh [17:02] !language | micah [17:02] micah: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [17:02] hi micah [17:02] micah: Calm down. PM me again [17:02] what your problem ? [17:02] Darael: ok ... i'll try killing those processes a bit more [17:03] ubuntunom: make a note of your swap partition, and make sure to close gparted [17:03] how to watch my connections? [17:03] tcp/udp? [17:03] Machtin: tcpdump [17:03] Machtin : i think u need monitoring tools [17:04] usr13: That didn't help my problem. [17:05] how can I give internet access to eth1 (static ip) on my server? [17:05] There is no xorg.conf and that is causing me a headache trying to tell the graphics card my display is about 4'' bigger than it thinks it is /o\ === Killerkid1 is now known as Killerkid [17:06] mdm: Last bit of info I can think off: http://paste.ubuntu.com/202226/ [17:06] Darael: it just doesnt do it :( [17:06] DirectorBonesy, yes there is but its mostly ignored [17:06] Gird3r: is there some reason you dont use network-manager? [17:06] hi [17:06] Halitech: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf after running aticonfig --initial doesn't bring up anything in nano. [17:06] hallo [17:07] some one here [17:07] ubuntunom: hmm... this is more than a little odd... but you don't need to delete all your Linux partitions, just the swap one [17:07] no [17:07] Yes, when I leftclick it says: Wireless network: Device is not handled. [17:07] DirectorBonesy, strange, mine does [17:07] However, I get only one selection. The standard Auto eth0 [17:07] Darael: from gparted? [17:08] some one knows how to setup a server [17:08] Halitech: Oh, stupid me, forgot to capitalize the X. Where do I configure the size of the screen, blargh. [17:08] ubuntunom: if you can, otherwise you'll need a system that doesn't use swap at all [17:08] some one knows how to setup a server [17:08] Gird3r: then try iwlist wlan0 ap, what does it say? [17:09] DirectorBonesy: do you have controls on the monitor itself to resze the screen. thats what i had to do. i had a 1 inch border around mine until i resized it [17:09] some one knows how to setup a server [17:09] cypr1nus: What do you need to do? [17:09] some one knows how to setup a server [17:09] legend2440: I don't think so, let me check. [17:09] DirectorBonesy, when I installed the ATI driver I didn't have to set anything [17:09] usr13: thanks :) [17:09] some one knows how to setup a server [17:09] mdm: It says: wlan0 Interface doesn't have a list of Peers/Access-Points [17:09] kai yes [17:09] kai: someone knows how to repeat themselves? [17:09] kai: Sure, what is your question. [17:09] i will serve webspace [17:09] Gird3r: doesiwlist wlan0 scan tell you anything? [17:09] kai, you're a borg? [17:10] apache? [17:10] and user can sinup and get free space [17:10] apache is cool [17:10] well.............. potamus came pretty close, lashing it into tray would however make it unable to play of. It also lacked a way to autostart its music, making it eve more useless :/ [17:10] legend2440: No, I don't. [17:10] how can i make user alow to singn up [17:10] Halitech: I had this problem on Windows 7, too. For some reason it really does not want to believe this monitor- which has a properly detected model, mind you, HF237- is actually 23''. [17:11] kai: yes [17:11] DirectorBonesy: yeah mines an old fashioned crt [17:11] The border on my screen is about 4'' horizontal and 2'' vertical, this is not fun. ;_; [17:11] mdm: wlan0 No scan results [17:11] Machtin: np [17:11] DirectorBonesy, here's mine ... http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/202231/ I have an X1300 with a 21inch crt dell monitor [17:11] user can see a side on the server and sing up and get free space [17:11] Gird3r: do you know the mac address of the AP? [17:12] how can it be [17:12] DirectorBonesy: you dont have the ati catalyst control center? [17:12] kai: yes [17:12] i ahve one question i want one usb modem work with ubuntu and windowes [17:12] bant compile v4lvd getting errors while make [17:12] Halitech: Part of it could be the HD4830 not liking linux, but I need shader model 3. [17:12] cant [17:12] any one have usb modem name [17:12] kai: Something like vdeck? [17:12] Hi there! Does anybody know a photocopier software for Ubuntu/Kubuntu? [17:12] i understand how to setup apache a litel bit [17:12] legend2440: I do, but there's no option to manually set oversampling which is what I need to fix it /o\ [17:12] DirectorBonesy, good chance you are right [17:12] what is vdeck [17:12] so any suggestions for music players, that are "light"? [17:12] hello, I have a problem with a shared library. I created a symlink in /usr/lib/, but after running ldconfig, the link does not appear in ldconfig -p [17:13] Yes. [17:13] DirectorBonesy, can i see ur xorg.conf? [17:13] GreyGhost: Not much to see, let me pastebin it. One sec. [17:13] mdm: Yes, I know the mac adress, however, It gives me two: Wireless one and WAN one. [17:13] kai: see vdeck.com [17:13] knows anyone video loopback device driver for v4l2 [17:13] del_diablo: light? try xmms and banshee [17:13] but I can see the correct symlink in /usr/lib [17:13] DirectorBonesy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=7129 [17:14] del_diablo: really depends upon ur defination of light [17:14] what is the package for pcmcia-modules for ibex? [17:14] Gird3r: try iwconfig wlan0 [17:14] Darael: It actually says that Swap is active and that is the reason i cant increase the size ... im doing clean install. nothing major on this comp. thanks for your help though! [17:14] some one used vdeck [17:14] is it free ware [17:15] has no one an idea? [17:15] kai: What is your nataive language? [17:15] GreyGhost: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/202241/ [17:15] german [17:15] mdm: How do I fins out ap sid and the port? [17:15] !german | kai [17:15] kai: 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. [17:15] pronoy, uses very little resources. Do not use long time to start up. No not needed fuctions that can and will steal resources(ex: fetching album art) [17:15] pronoy: Banshee is MPD FFS <.< MPD = needs server. I need a music player, not a client to get music of a server! [17:15] thanks [17:16] del_diablo: how bout audacious or xmms [17:16] some one is using vdeck [17:16] Gird3r: its the part of that router that is acting as an AP, I would think someone set it up at some time or its somehting generic like what a DSL provider sends you [17:16] hello, I have a problem with a shared library. I created a symlink in /usr/lib/, but after running ldconfig, the link does not appear in ldconfig -p, but I can see the correct symlink in /usr/lib [17:17] del_diablo: you have misunderstood the purpose of mpd. it is a music playing daemon. you can use different clients to select what to play. [17:17] kai: Say "Does anybody here use vdeck?" [17:17] pronoy: It still needs a server [17:17] trippssss: the stock modules packages, though you may need udev [17:17] DirectorBonesy, wat card? [17:17] pronoy: unless you can get me a hack to get around that [17:17] could someone help me properly mount my pcmcia memory card under ibex? pccardctl status displays the proper info but lsmod | grep pcmcia doesn't show memory_cs which I think I might ned [17:17] del_diablo: mplayer (mplayer is not mpd) [17:17] Darael, ok i'll try that [17:18] del_diablo: don't have that much time....if something comes up ...let you know [17:18] Darael, udev is already installed [17:18] mdm: The only thing I find containing thw word sid is the routers original ESSID, wich is dlink. [17:18] ed you still on here? [17:18] yep [17:18] kai: vdeck is commercial web hosting software for companies who do web hosting for $$$ [17:18] mdm: About port, I dunno. Haven't found anything about it. [17:19] GreyGhost: ATi Radeon HD4830 [17:19] Gird3r: then it is posible it is setup as dlink, have you ever used that AP before? [17:19] is some free ware [17:19] legend2440: That's too old- that command doesn't even work anymore. aticonfig does, but the only oversampling option I see is for TVs. [17:19] DirectorBonesy, wat does fglrxinfo say? [17:20] overscanning, rather. [17:20] Let me check. [17:20] mdm: dlink I tried with network manager and the network tool, as ESSID. [17:20] is some free ware similar [17:20] GreyGhost: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/202243/ [17:21] Gird3r: well you can keep guessing or you can look ESSID is what you want [17:21] Gird3r: Connect via wired connection and log into the router and change the configurations to suit your needs. [17:21] DirectorBonesy, thats good then .. so the problem is that u cant set a high resolution ? wat res are u at atm? [17:21] Gird3r: What is the model number of your router? [17:21] I tried changing my local apt sources list, but then upon doing an intrepid -> jaunty dist upgrade, it is still fetching from far away, slow mirrors. Anyone know how to force dist-upgrade to use local mirrors? [17:21] !torrent > pronoy [17:21] pronoy, please see my private message [17:22] is there a torrent client which has a daemon icon ? [17:22] mbeierl: I think the updates only use *faraway* mirrors if the local ones are busy/down. [17:22] mbeierl, where do you purchase/download vdeck? [17:22] GreyGhost: The problem is, at maximum resolution (1920x1080) it's giving me a 4'' wide black border on the side of the screen and a 2'' wide one on the bottom, and I can't fix it. In Win7, this was simple: activate overscanning. But I can't seem to DO that in Linux. [17:22] how do i configure libjpeg to allow tiff2pdf to convert tif files with a jpeg in it? I have libjpeg installed, but when i try a convert i just get an error from tiffOPEn that it cannot open [17:23] hi i have problems with my teamspeak 2 codec [17:23] is cpanel free [17:23] For some reason, my laptop is unable to perform DNS lookups on releases.mozilla.org or chat.freenode.net (or other servers that point to freenode) while using Ubuntu. Windows is able, as is everything else on my network. Any ideas, or even ways to fix it? [17:23] trippssss: I don't think regular public can.

[17:26] there is no reason to use wine to run a torrent client [17:26] pornoy: but you can try some of the others. azureus, bittorrent. [17:26] gmachine_24: can you help me possibly?

[17:45] RkyRaccoon: well first of all you need java on your pc [17:45] GreyGhost: yes, how do i launch it [17:46] !info sabnzbdplus [17:46] sabnzbdplus (source: sabnzbdplus): web-based binary newsgrabber with nzb support. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 0.4.9-0ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 219 kB, installed size 1092 kB [17:46] RkyRaccoon: go to terminal and cd to that folder [17:46] RkyRaccoon, tell me wat exactly does the folder contain.. [17:46] RkyRaccoon: ./configure after that [17:46] hello, when I goto burn DVD's the data is transferred fine, but when I eject and reinsert the DVD it appears on my desktop (but the files within are hidden? and the icon on the desktop is that of any flatfile) [17:46] why my VGA with chipset sis not support 3D Anythink answer????!!! [17:47] GreyGhost: it contains a lot of folders, too many to list [17:47] RkyRaccoon: ok no..it says its a direct run...so cd to that folder and issue "./run-alice [17:47] Hi... i just came here to show off how fast linux boots on my laptop. [17:47] http://img504.yfrog.com/img504/4968/toterdesktopjaunty20090.png [17:47] 11 seconds, baby [17:47] toter: Badass [17:47] what is a good tool for creating .srt files? [17:48] RkyRaccoon, tried wat pronoy said? [17:48] GreyGhost: hold on [17:48] Vladislas: what does lspci say about your VGA card? [17:48] Anyone with a faster boot? [17:48] I plugged up an iPod in Rhythmbox and added some mp3 music. Afterwards, I synced and then ejected. Now no music shows up on the iPod (8GB Pink iPod Nano 3rd gen I believe). I plugged it back in and the music still showed up on the Rhythmbox player and was playable. [17:49] toter: I wish I'm dealing with 24 seconds (not counting the bios post or grub) [17:49] toter: ill be back in a moment [17:49] efrgrgregserge [17:49] toter: i have a 19 sec boot...want to reduce it further :) [17:49] toter: if I already had my HyperOS Hyperdrive 5, I could beat you...but I don't have it, yet :( [17:49] toter: im going for a while,just be here when i come back :P [17:49] @zagibu 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10) [17:50] I compiled the 2.6.30 kernel.. it reduced one second from the boot time [17:50] i was using 2.6.28 [17:50] shadeslayer: Faster bootup? Don't use encrypt your filesystem then. (But that's just me). [17:50] zagibu: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10) [17:51] I would love to test boot time on my laptop with an SSD... but they're like 299 dollars [17:51] I have a system at home. The longest part of my boot is the "loading..." phase. During which khelper is running. Any advice on speeding this up? [17:51] i have a strange question, is there a way to use a vista sidebar gadget in linux? there is an awesome weather alert gadget for it...?? [17:51] Vladislas: http://www.google.ch/search?q=linux+%22Silicon+Integrated+Systems+%5BSiS%5D+771%2F671+PCIE+VGA+Display+Adapter%22 [17:51] I have a strange permission problem. I wrote a java program for sending faxes using hylafax via asterisk and get "/usr/bin/java: error while loading shared libraries: libjli.so: cannot open shared object file" when sending a fax. [17:51] okay im back anyone care to explain how add users and there passwords? [17:51] RkyRaccoon, ? [17:51] pronoy: worked, thanks man, I didnt have java when i tried before [17:52] GreyGhost: works, thanks for the help [17:52] I plugged up an iPod in Rhythmbox and added some mp3 music. Afterwards, I synced and then ejected. Now no music shows up on the iPod (8GB Pink iPod Nano 3rd gen I believe). I plugged it back in and the music still showed up on the Rhythmbox player and was playable. I need to get the music on the iPod again. [17:52] Hylian: check out gdesklets. They're in the repositories [17:52] Hylian: I very much doubt that something like that would exist. [17:52] Hylian: I think that the sidebar code is buried deep deep into the vista Kernel. I don't think you can run it under wine unless you find an exe somewhere on the net [17:52] RkyRaccoon, i didnt really help .. bt nice to hear :) [17:52] The java binary is called using a wrapper which outputs the result of 'ldd /usr/bin/java' and everything is fine with that. [17:52] the only problem is that the gdesklets weather program does not do audible bad weather alerts, or i couldnt find the option. [17:52] jawee: it's because you use a pink iPod...they only accept Britney Spears songs [17:52] RkyRaccoon GreyGhost : *thumbs up* [17:52] flohack, does /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.13/jre/lib/i386/jli/libjli.so exist? [17:52] nice job pronoy [17:53] unop: Thanks for helping! yes it does [17:53] Hylian: You could always put the weather channel on another workspace ;) === _derive is now known as derive [17:53] unop: I checked with 'sudo su uucp -' that it's readable as well [17:53] or are you saying that gdesklets can run vista gadgets? [17:53] zagibu: It is my mom's. I know that in Amarok you have to specify so I didn't know if there was some sort of difference. I was trying to be specific as possible. [17:53] Hylian: Nah, I didn't know that you had tried them already. Thought you just wanted little desk apps [17:53] unop: and the script is not running chrooted, I checked that with 'ls -Al /' within the wrapper and piped the result to a logfile. [17:53] salve a tutti [17:53] jawee: sorry, I was not serious of course, and I also can't help you with your problem [17:53] posso fare una domanda [17:53] !it | giorgio [17:53] giorgio: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [17:53] it's starting to sound lie my only option, i am thinking about installing another browser, and making home noaa. [17:53] GreyGhost: thx [17:54] hello, when I goto burn DVD's the data is transferred fine, but when I eject and reinsert the DVD it appears on my desktop (but the files within are hidden? and the icon on the desktop is that of any flatfile). The files I goto burn are also "hidden" before I burn them, but there's nothing to make them as such. I extracted them from a UDF iso [17:54] flohack, what does this give you? readlink -f /usr/bin/java [17:54] can someone tell me how to add another user without password im new to ubuntu? [17:54] jawee: maybe the problem is caused by different playlist files? [17:54] micah, System - > Admin -> Users and groups -> unlock -> then add user [17:55] unop: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.07/jre/bin/java [17:55] dont knw if its without password though .. [17:55] there are so many free version for windows, you would think that there would be a linux program that would do it too. i dont watch tv. my entertainment is my pc. [17:55] okay thanks grey [17:55] tv sucks [17:55] Hylian: Conky! [17:55] zagibu: maybe. I know next to nothing about iPods. [17:55] yes but atleast with a local channel i wouldnt have to worry about weather a tornadoe is coming or not [17:55] gmachine: +1 [17:55] unop: I just tried 'cat /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.07/jre/lib/i386/jli/libjli.so > /dev/null 2>> /tmp/asterfax.log' within the wrapper script and that is fine as well [17:56] flohack, hmm .. there's a version discrepancy there.. does /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.07/jre/lib/i386/jli/libjli.so exist (as opposed to /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.13/jre/lib/i386/jli/libjli.so) ? [17:56] pronoy: hey there [17:56] unop: I'm a bit puzzled [17:56] ok does conky play an audible alert when there is bad weather? [17:56] !conky | Hylian [17:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about conky [17:56] hi, how can i get the gcc for 64 bit so I have : x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc please? [17:56] hi, how do i list all the mount types available? (ntfs, cifs, ext3, etc.. full list) [17:57] oh to enter without a password just type root to username [17:57] micah: go to terminal and check the man pages for addusr [17:57] toter: hey there :) [17:57] unop: ? I never mentioned /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.13/jre/lib/i386/jli/libjli.so, did I? [17:57] mobi-sheep, does conky play a sound, or audible alert when there is bad weather? because if i just wanted weather, id be happy with weather report [17:57] shadeslayer: so... [17:57] The svn client in Ubuntu is version 1.5.4 but I need to have 1.6.x instead. Do I need to build it from source, or is there a better way? (I'm a bit confused, since http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/devel/subversion claims that it's actually 1.4.6 which it isn't.) [17:57] toter: yeah i need to reduce my boot time :) [17:57] unop: That's what you have on your machine [17:57] someone help me whit a nokia 3600 slide and a usb cable? [17:58] hi! [17:58] toter: ive already removed splash.... [17:58] how to put some songs on it? [17:58] flohack, well, it's the version that's in the sun-java6-bin package on jaunty currently [17:58] tavi: plug it in > copy > pastee [17:58] Hylian: If you only want weathe applet -- You can add a Weather applet in your Gnome-Panel or add a really nifty Firefox Addons (Forecastfox). [17:58] unop: I'm using hardy, that's the reason [17:58] Hylian: Right-click on your panel and "Add to Panel" --> Look for weather. [17:59] flohack, in any case, does this shared object exist in the directory heirarchy for your java version ?

It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [17:59] IS IT LINUX [17:59] shadeslayer: well, i didn't do anything fancy... make xconfig, unchecked some boxes and rebooted. voila... 11 seconds [17:59] Superninja: Drop the caps please. [17:59] W [17:59] unop: Yes, and from within the wrapper script I can read that file (dumped it to /dev/null to check) [17:59] Hi all, just installed Karmic mini, but I'm getting 'sleep: invalid number '0.1'' upon booting.. any ideas< [17:59] Superninja, stop shouting .. [17:59] is there a way to measure total disk usage? I have run a process that takes looong time and read about pv [17:59] Superninja: It's a distribution of Linux [17:59] Hylian: or a better thing would be to add a location by clicking on the time display thing [17:59] only later :( [17:59] Joelio: Karmic support in #ubuntu+1 [17:59] !caps | Superninja [17:59] Superninja: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [17:59] mobi-sheep, your not listening. an AUDIBLE alert, a sound played out of my speakers. i want it to play when there is bad weather.

[18:00] i love your bot [18:00] Hylian: I don't think anything exists specifically for your need, you may need something programmed specifically for your needs. [18:00] Is ubuntu better than windows [18:00] Superninja: yep [18:00] Superninja, define better ..

[18:00] Hylian: It's possible but I don't know how to do that myself. [18:00] flohack, strange .. i wonder if this has anything to do with the CLASSPATH variables being tainted in your script's environment [18:00] Superninja: no viruses,faster boot times.... [18:00] Superninja: it is different. [18:00] Superninja: hell yeah !! [18:00] Superninja: Fsck Yeah! [18:00] How can I have it [18:00] unop: I dumped the 'env' output and there is nothing related to 'CLASSPATH' in there. [18:01] Superninja: more customizations and options (KDE,Gnome) [18:01] unop: I'll pastebin the environment [18:01] someone should take superninja into a private chat [18:01] I am from finland [18:01] What does env refer to in ubuntu? [18:01] shadeslayer: when you execute make xconfig to compile a new kernel, there's a ton of stuff you can uncheck... And I optimized it for new, shiny macbook pro 64-bit [18:01] flohack, i would use strace now -- and spend sometimes pouring through it's output [18:01] the super sad part if it is, i have 8 options for this specific task in windows. i'd really hate to go back to bloat tastic windows to do this one task [18:01] Hylian: libweather-com-perl or libgeo-metar-perl [18:01] unop: Good idea, I'll try that and have a look [18:01] farchumbre, in what context? [18:01] Superninja: chose an option and you'll get a better one in linux [18:01] toter: you re compiled the kernel?? no thanks [18:02] Superninja: Talk in #ubuntu-offtopic -- Please. We'll answer your questions there. [18:02] mdm: How exactly is that going to help? [18:02] upgrading to 9.10 broke VLC, can you tell me how to add vlc c_korn PPA repo please?

[18:03] Hylian: oh...if youre that specific,use something else [18:03] mdm: I don't think that Hylian is up for programming something in Perl for this [18:03] toter: :D lol [18:03] oh boy. i have to admit. i havent written any scripts for anything since my qbasic days. i think that's over my head. [18:03] unop: here is the strace...any idea what $ORIGIN is? http://pastebin.com/d426a6d3c [18:03] my evolution account does not have the option for exchange? [18:04] shadeslayer: if you want to shave some seconds from your boot time, you have to compile the kernel. Did you see the results? http://img504.yfrog.com/img504/4968/toterdesktopjaunty20090.png [18:04] having a problem with my sound...it all seems to be coming out of my subwoofer. I am using the hda intel module in alsa [18:04] Pici: is there a way to know what new options are being included in 9.10 .. i don't think they'll like such a question at #ubuntu+1 [18:04] flohack, no idea .. sorry [18:05] toter: whats the rpm of your drive? [18:05] hey mdm, just how easy is it to write perl script. because if it is anything like fortran cobol or pascal, i would rather just let the tornado come. [18:05] pronoy: They're not working on features at the moment. [18:05] pronoy: Have you googled "ubuntu 9.10" or looked at the ubuntu website? I know that they are very open about their release schedule [18:05] ed_ mobi-sheep: roger [18:05] flohack, it seems to be some directory that is relative to where your java executable is [18:05] pronoy: yeah, now if he says he doesn't know what nokia is, i'll call matti vanhanen myself [18:05] can anyone help me get ProFTPd working on my server? [18:06] hello all [18:06] Hylian: easy is a matter of opinion, but with cpan modules very [18:06] pronoy: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KarmicKoala/TechnicalOverview#New%20features%20in%20Karmic [18:06] shadeslayer: 5400 rpm [18:06] i have some problem after updating my ubuntu [18:06] toter: same as me.... [18:06] unop: That seems to be the problem. [18:06] * shadeslayer installs bootchart [18:06] kenox: details please [18:06] pronoy: Why wouldn't they? [18:06] is anyone using thinkfinger? [18:06] i get the mouse pointer but no windows [18:06] farchumbre: i used too [18:06] id rather die than program that tough stuff. did you know that fortran scripting is a form of tourture and is against the geneva convention. [18:06] switching to tty1 [18:07] issuing of kill gdm and then gdm does the trick [18:07] shadeslayer, have you have problems With multiple keyboard layouts? [18:07] i use english and spanish [18:07] Pici: well in their topic its written channel's for development purposes...so.... [18:07] how do i unpack a tgz.uue file??? [18:07] flohack, it's strange that quite a few .so files aren't being found ... it looks like the process is trying to find them in quite a few locations and is then giving up [18:07] kenox: tty1 - tty-6 are command line [18:07] how come that when I use "apt-get upgrade", some packages are held back, but when I use the update-manager, they get installed? What do I have to do to get apt-get to install the same packages? [18:07] farchumbre: it crashed a few times and ran quite well....only thing was that it used to hang after sudo commands... [18:07] seriously, anyone know if perl is easy. the highest lvl of programming im interested in is somehting like html [18:08] farchumbre: not any i remember off... [18:08] kenox: tty7 starts the guis [18:08] rakudave: sudo aptitude full-upgrade <-- maybe. [18:08] pronoy: It actually says 'discussion' [18:08] unop: It's just looking for libjli.so in various places [18:08] yup i issue the commands "killall gdm" and then "gdm" [18:08] isnt it apt-get dist-upgrade [18:08] flohack, well, not just that .so .. but quite a few others too [18:08] Pice: eh ? oh yeah :) lol....but still its really early to ask ..... [18:08] no direct login to gnome [18:08] mobi-sheep: thanks, didn't know about that option [18:09] Hylian: perl is ok. Similar to C. Python is a dream in syntax :) [18:09] I would caution anyone attempting a full upgrade - esp without backing up all your data [18:09] ok, is there a way to get wine to install a msi file? [18:09] Hylian: yes. [18:09] shadeslayer, i use spanish and english, and after using thinkfinger (sudo) the spanish layout indicator turns to '??' [18:09] unop: No, it just does a stat64 for the directory and then an open for the libjli.so file [18:09] ie, a full upgrade vs. a fresh install [18:09] ok cool [18:09] Hylian, it does so normally .. === BlackJack is now known as Dreaman [18:09] how do i unpack a tgz.uue file??? [18:10] farchumbre: no idea..im not a devel you know ;) [18:10] shadeslayer, hoW did you install thinkfinger? [18:10] i cant seem to get ftp working properly, i dont know why [18:10] kenox: I don't believe tty1-tty6 will work with gnome [18:10] mobi-sheep: doesn't exixt... [18:10] unop: HEHE, setting ORIGIN to the right value before invoking java works around the problem... [18:10] Is there a way to start a gnome session automatically when I log in without using GDM? I would like to log in via CLI and then have gnome start immediately upon login. [18:10] flohack, really? that's odd [18:10] rakudave: What does not exist? === ed__ is now known as edbian [18:10] That still does not explain why it goes wrong in the first place though... [18:10] mobi-sheep: apt-get full-upgrade [18:10] Hylian: I *think* its: wine /path/to/msiexec filename.msi I'm not sure if you can do it without the path to msiexec, but doesn't hurt to try [18:11] is anyone using multi keyboard layouts (e. g english, spanish, french) With usb external keyboards or thinkfinger? [18:11] rakudave: That's not what I said. [18:11] farchumbre: its on their wiki [18:11] no you got me wrong: i boot up the OS, iget only a mouse pointer, then i switch to tty1 and issue the commands, then everything becomes normal. [18:11] farchumbre: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ThinkFinger [18:11] hey guys, i uninstalled a program, but the gnome menu says that its still there. but the weird thing is, when i use the menu editor, it says that the program isnt there [18:12] any ideas? -_- [18:12] wrinkliez: when you next log in. that item may vanish [18:12] wrinkliez: Sometimes there is a small bug with the panel and it will leave apps that are actually missing. If you reboot it will go away and you can manually remove it with the menu editor. [18:12] wrinkliez: what was the program anyway? [18:12] Dr_Willis: thanks! lemme give it a shot [18:12] wrinkliez: killall gnome-panel [18:12] haha thanks everyone :D [18:12] Hylian: im not going to answer in PM [18:12] !pm > Hylian [18:12] Hylian, please see my private message [18:12] wrinkliez: Yes you can also kill / restart the gnome-panel [18:13] wrinkliez: if it was somthingyou installed via wine. you may need to manually remove a .desktop file for the wine items [18:13] i cant get my ftp to work properly -- i can access through domain.com but i want it to access through ftp.domain.com :-/ [18:13] Dr_Willis: it was gnupaint [18:13] i need some help to install QT Creator [18:13] wrinkliez: Or sudo update-menus may also fix it [18:13] animuson: are you setting up the client or the server? [18:14] any java packaging cracks around? === Orest is now known as Orest^bnc [18:14] jre, that is? [18:14] its the server [18:14] Help !!! === Orest^bnc is now known as Orest [18:14] can anyone support me with this?!

[18:15] Hylian: did you check appdb of wine? [18:15] hello, why is my 32 bit box not recognising all 4 GiB (3.6GB) of ram, I thought 32 bit was good up to 4 GB, I have an nvidia card, with 1GB of memory, this seems odd, because there is 1GB less memory then the ammount on 64 bit (I am too lazy to install 64 bit, I do have a 64 amd) [18:15] balloooza: no you need 64 bit [18:16] Hylian: why is that odd? did it work for anyone else? (check the appdb) [18:16] mobi-sheep: sorry, I overlooked the fact that you used aptitude... -_- [18:16] balloooza: 32 bit recognises only 3.2 GB of RAM [18:16] I want to install QT creator , complete. Can anyone help me pls????

[19:39] threexk: np [19:39] tamale: I know you have no wireless. I was not sure that mine was a wireless problem or not - there was no give away errors in logs - system just froze ... [19:39] tamale, in this case, it is a netbook. [19:40] threexk: You may need to revert to one of the old ones, not likely, but possible. [19:40] fccf: thanks for your input, can i have as '127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost' and '127.0.1.1 localhost' ? [19:40] porter1, the text is black. it should show up. this just worked a little bit ago. like a day ago. I changed the colors a long time ago. [19:40] sebsebseb: makes sense. I think I'll plan to keep the older ones around for a while, until I'm pretty sure there's no problem with the updated [19:40] I can barely touch 2 hours of battery life, even with my wireless card turned off and the screen at 0% brightness. [19:40] joeyeye: I'll gladly try what you did.. how do I enable the same repos? [19:40] mazda01: yes but test.mpg is purple... [19:40] torn_: you can watch your system load with several monitoring apps [19:40] threexk: ok good idea I guess [19:40] threexk: You could leave 2 just to be safe. [19:40] plz tell me how to install lates vlc 1.0rc4 plz [19:41] joeyeye, yeap! that was it. THANKS! [19:41] !vlc [19:41] Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [19:41] mazda01, maybe you were using a different terminal. All I know is that folders use that exact color that you are using for the background. [19:41] mazda01: select a region of text using mouse ... do you see it ? [19:41] om26er: Ubuntu only do security updates from those repos, and that's a release candidate rc4 [19:41] joeyeye, now trying to solve a myth2xbmc issue with connecting to database. Any experience with it? [19:41] om26er: might be a ppa for it, but probably not, but you can probably directly install from VLC [19:41] stuNNed: that is right 0.1 is the hostname resolution for the local machine and 1.1 is localhost ... both have to be there in order for everything to stay happy [19:41] tamale, it's mainly on idle, 0 - 4% CPU usage. [19:41] porter1, i solved it. thanks [19:41] I turned off many services and startup applications, as well. [19:42] i'm looking for a bluetooth mouse for a dell studio is there any considerations i should take. Do i need to make sure they are linux compatible [19:42] have any body installed vlc1.0rc4 [19:42] mazda01: I'm not familiar with myth2xbmc ... what is it ? [19:42] plz tell me how to install [19:42] fccf: so the above setting is fine? [19:42] stuNNed: yes [19:42] om26er: rc4 release candidate 4 so not even a final release [19:42] EgyCoder09, you still around? [19:42] does restricted-extras package include codecs and all to play DVDs? [19:42] joeyeye, it's a mythtvfrontend for the xbox so you can connect to the mythtv backend and delete recordings after you watch them, schedule recordings, watch live tv, etc etc. Mythtv is awesome! [19:42] sebsebseb for me it has a feature that i always wanted [19:43] fccf: ok thanks [19:43] ubuntunom: you need libdvdcss2 from midibuntu to play encrypted dvd's [19:43] GreyGhost|AFK: yup .... waiting you :) [19:43] sebsebseb: thanks [19:43] sebsebseb: medibuntu? [19:43] ubuntunom: np [19:43] fccf: what about it? [19:43] mazda01: I'm familar with tversity ... not mythtv, sorry - but I will check mythtv out as I was looking for a media server for ubuntu [19:43] you said midibuntu [19:43] why is there no ffmpeg in jaunty? [19:44] fccf: is there a way to update the /etc/hosts file on the fly after changes have been made? [19:44] fccf: yeah maybe I spelt wrong or whatever, but when they Google it :d [19:44] humbolt: you might need to look in the medibuntu repos [19:44] fccf: for the system? [19:44] ubuntunom: Google that since I may have given wrong spelling/name [19:44] lstarnes: that's what I have [19:44] humbolt: you can install ffmpeg with gstreamer [19:44] joeyeye, if you just want a media server and not to be able to record live tv using a capture card,. then I would go with XBMC. It's awesome! [19:44] humbolt: it should be in main [19:44] Ubuntu Question -- I've installed compiz&emerald, and I want to have gnome use those by default at login, instead of GTK. How do I do this? [19:44] sebsebseb: will do [19:45] stuNNed: I wouldn't see a need to update the hosts file, what are you trying to do? [19:45] mazda01: IS xbmc DLNA compat ? [19:45] sebsebseb: so its not just apt-get ins libdvd... [19:45] EgyCoder09, oki .. i want you to do the following ..open file manager .. show hidden files .. go to home/username/.wine/drive_c [19:45] hi i have a amd Athlon 64 cpu with ubuntu 32 bit install what kernel will be the best the linux-k7 or the k7-smp [19:45] joeyeye, yeap! [19:45] ubuntunom: you need to add that other repo, and then that should work [19:45] joeyeye, there's an itunes plugin also. [19:45] ubuntunom: after updating the repos [19:45] sebsebseb: okkay google it is :) [19:45] EgyCoder09, create new dir Notepad2 and extract ur .zip there .. all of it if u want ..

[19:46] EgyCoder09, create a notepad2.sh file there and use gedit to put this in it http://pastebin.com/m66eddc22 [19:46] Morph: you might ask in #compiz [19:46] any help on there [19:47] okay [19:47] that* [19:47] hey... i was wondering if anyone has noticed that you can't open more than one terminal in the latest version of ubuntu netbook remix.... anyone know why? [19:47] .net [19:47] EgyCoder09, now check in properties that the .sh has execution rights .. [19:48] joeyeye, not sure. you'd have to research it. i don't think so though. you could easily setup a script to do that though. [19:48] EgyCoder09, still with me? [19:48] jlaroche: hmm i didn't know that ... you should be able to do a Ctrl+Shift+T to get a second terminal tab [19:48] somebee_, what makes you think your server has been hacked? [19:48] mazda01: thanks for the heads up! Much appreciated, I am reading the website now! [19:48] GreyGhost|AFK: yup .. doing what u said .. [19:48] Hey, can anyone help me out? I just installed ubuntu and the sound doesnt work... [19:48] fccf: ctrl+shift+t doesn't do anything [19:49] joeyeye, cool. [19:49] entezflare: if you run: sudo lshw -C sound you will see what your soundcard is [19:49] entezflare: Great (sarcasm) yet another person with sound issues! Did it work on the Live CD? [19:49] spaceball1: that it was reported scanning for other servers and trying out root-passwords etc on other servers around the net.. when I ssh'd into it there were 10-20 ssh-scan (or something) running [19:49] !sound ubottu | entezflare [19:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about sound ubottu [19:49] fccf: know how upon an ubuntu install it asks what hostname you would like the computer to be, and the default is user-desktop for ubuntu desktop version? well that is not a fqdn [19:49] !sound | entezflare [19:49] entezflare: 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 [19:49] fccf: so i want a fqdn but the 127.0.1.1 is confusing me [19:49] uhm, live cd? [19:49] !sound | entezflare [19:49] hi all [19:49] spaceball1: and I cannot restart sshd, nor do scp, or anything. I did a hard shutdown/restart after removing root-access inn sshd-config, but still logging in with root works [19:50] entezflare: the bootable CD, hummm you make it sound like you used Wubi the WIndows installer :( [19:50] EgyCoder09, once ur done with that .. try right click open with and point to the .sh .. [19:50] hi all [19:50] yeah, i used wubi [19:50] ./configure --prefix=/usr plz explain me this line [19:50] Agh, so many responses xD [19:50] entezflare: ok Wubi is not recommended by most experienced users :) [19:50] GreyGhost|AFK: i will try and tell you .. thank u very much for be with me :) [19:50] ./configure --prefix=/usr [19:50] stuNNed: so a fqdn is www.google.com or www.ubuntu.com, are you hosting something there? [19:50] sebsebseb: exactly. [19:50] sebsebseb ./configure --prefix=/usr [19:51] sarmisak: yep [19:51] om26er: it's mean to install all in /usr [19:51] Crap >.< [19:51] entezflare: however I guess it worked, and that means you can remove Ubuntu easilley :) [19:51] entezflare: ,but sound issues hum [19:51] entezflare: lshw wil tell you good stuff [19:51] WHAT is this Phonon: KDE's Multimedia Library The audio playback device HDA Intel (STAC92XX Analog) does not work. Falling back to PilseAudio. [19:51] EgyCoder09, was a nice experiece trying out something new .. hope it works .. if it dsnt let me knw .. the shell script can be made a bit beautiful with variables and all .. but who's gonna look at it anyway ;) [19:51] no sound now WTF [19:51] !language | redsoxking [19:51] redsoxking: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[19:52] fccf: about to, setting the machine up for it [19:52] agh, 1 sec [19:52] =) [19:52] entezflare: probably would be more annoying to set up a proper dual boot with Windows, Windows and Ubuntu, and then find out your sound dosn't work [19:52] brb [19:52] if i changed to using XFCE should i uninstall gnome (gdm?) or no point? [19:52] and for some reason my mail aliases isn't working [19:52] ./quit [19:52] N E help? [19:52] wait.... [19:52] sorry =))) [19:52] actually, i downloaded the ISO, burned it to a disk [19:53] yeah, cuz wubi kept crashing... [19:53] could not find libmad on your system [19:53] plz help [19:53] then i did the full install [19:53] entezflare: ,but a proper partitioned install is the best way to have Ubuntu, with that said and done run the command ActionParsnip gave, pastebin the output, and he can probably help === stefw_afk is now known as stefw [19:53] om26er: aptitude search libmad [19:53] ActionParsnip: hey you there [19:53] sebsebseb: even booting off usb is better than wubi [19:53] shadeslayer: sup [19:53] Hi folks... I'm new to the channel and thought I'd toss in my greeting [19:53] ActionParsnip: yeah probably [19:54] stuNNed: so when you have your server setup you will change the hostname to yoursite.com and have the outside IP address tied to it as well, so that when you type yoursite.com into firefox you will get yoursite.com and not a 404 [19:54] sebsebseb: i'm in a conundrum which is worse, gentoo live cd or wubi.....

[20:16] ARMENIAN: I'm not sure [20:16] ThunderWolf: that card might not be supported without some additional drivers. What kind of system is it on. Model number and such.

If so how do you fix that? :-/ [20:17] !ask | musicpenguin [20:17] musicpenguin: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[20:18] fccf that isn't bluetooth? [20:18] lstarnes: I will consider it, but they always seem to be ignored [20:18] what package provides baobob?

[20:19] musicpenguin: you mean pci or pci-express? [20:19] lstarnes, aptitude's finding no package called either of those names [20:19] ok heres to hoping i can boot again :) [20:19] squircle, i know i dont have a pci-e...but im not sure i have pci 2 [20:20] maco: according to apt-file search baobab, try gnome-utils [20:20] fccf: so if 127.0.0.1 is set to 'localhost' and 127.0.1.1 is set to 'foo' my fqdn would be indigo.localhost since 127.0.1.1 is within the subnet of 127.0.0.1?

[20:23] unkmar nope [20:23] hmm [20:23] musicpenguin: just look up a picture on google! pci are usually white or grey, and PCI-E comes in different varieties [20:23] squircle, so you cant take a pci and put it in a pci-e?

I am using a netbook named "HP Mini Note 2133". Along with this I am for the first time trying Linux, Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty). [20:24] Problem is as follows - I can not connect an external monitor and identify the monitor and use it as an extended desktop - but I can only use the same resolution as the netbook screen. The graphics driver is a "VIA Chrome G9". [20:24] musicpenguin: that's the controller for your PCI-E channels [20:24] musicpenguin pce--e [20:24] pci [20:24] ThunderWolf: you would normally set a static IP for a server. [20:24] humbolt, try sudo apt-get install ffmpeg ubuntu-restricted-extras [20:24] unkmar it says Host name lookup failure [20:24] how do i unlock an encrypted drive (used LVM + encryption while installing 9.04) using that nifty long-ass hexadecimal key that i generated on first boot? ubuntu forgot my passphrase ;x [20:24] ThunderWolf: you wouldn't want it wandering around when you are trying to find it. [20:25] huh? [20:25] squircle, so that still means it could still be a simple pci? [20:25] Can I switch between python2.5 and python2.6 easily? I tried update-alternatives, but it has no configuration for python. [20:25] cell420 your acrewed [20:25] unkmar so what should i do? [20:25] anyone have experience setting up pinyin input for ubuntu similar to that of windows? === Purple is now known as Guest30878 [20:25] KlingaN: I'm not sure if linux supprts the VIA chipset for multiple moniters... shoulda got a dell [20:25] musicpenguin: there are practically no motherboards that don't have PCI, and most newer ones have PCI-E === Guest30878 is now known as PurpleWater [20:26] spaceball1: reinstalling openssh-server and then rebooting seemed to have helped.. now root-login is disabled atleast.. thanks for the help so far! [20:26] humbolt, any luck? [20:26] !pinyin [20:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about pinyin [20:26] squircle, i have a dell dimension 3100 [20:26] !chinese [20:26] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [20:26] dell eeek [20:26] musicpenguin: and what are you trying to put in it? [20:26] squircle, i wanna upgrade my video card... [20:26] KlingaN: i would doubt VIA has dual monitor support, i might be wrong though [20:27] muy buenas tardes a todos [20:27] fcff: I have a Dell Dimension 8000 aswell - I was thinking about installing Linux on that one - but I figured I would have to mess even more with drivers on that one, since it's got customized parts. [20:27] Slart_, ok here is a link to the errors http://textsnip.com/a5b164 [20:27] gogeta: I'm running 256 dual xeon dell servers, so no eeek with dell ;) [20:27] GreyGhost: I am in the process of clean wiping /var/lib/apt/lists [20:27] agh, restarted and nothing.... [20:27] humbolt, try that .. it might work [20:27] Same result [20:27] squircle, i just dont understand the specs..for example..i wanna get a Gforce but then i see an E-Gforce but the box says pci not pci-e [20:27] digitalvaldosta: ok, I'll take a look [20:27] why is it that movie player opens everytime i insert a disc? need to change it VLC [20:27] KlingaN: you can always try it out using a live cd to see how it works with any particular hardware [20:28] * digitalvaldosta is stepping away please send your help for my crashing video playback via IM. Thanks [20:28] Try yourself please. With --reinstall. To verify if this is really a problem at my end. [20:28] ThunderWolf: I ponder what Host name lookup failure means. [20:28] humbolt, hmm .. no idea .. [20:28] So, when running gparted I'm getting this error on Jaunty: "/usr/local/sbin/gpartedbin: error while loading shared libraries: libparted-1.7.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". I tried Googling but didn't see much that was helpful. [20:28] has anyone had sound issues or audio problems ? [20:28] musicpenguin: it says it should have 2 PCI slots and one PCI-E slot, but I don't know if it's PCI-E x16, required for a video card, but I can check, one moment [20:28] humbolt, cant .. ubuntu update is using package maanager .. [20:28] Well, i guess ill follow the other links... [20:28] tengo un pequeño problema quien puede ayudarme [20:28] Does anyone have any ideas on what might cause this? Some packaging dependency error? [20:28] Where is the code in nautilus that makes the system calls that show the files? [20:29] ThunderWolf: pastebin /etc/network/interfaces [20:29] squircle, i also have a pci wirless card...but the end of it looks different than the video pci cards [20:29] digitalvaldosta: seems someone already reported it https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/378453 [20:29] ThunderWolf: that is not a command. but a request to see that file.

I can seem to join any yahoo room. Can any body help me outplease? [20:29] musicpenguin: and can't you just pop the case off and check for yourself? [20:29] !yahoo [20:29] At the moment there are many pidgin users experiencing problems connecting to Yahoo IM, you can try changing your paging server to cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com and see if that helps. [20:29] !yahoo |shavi [20:29] shavi: please see above [20:29] squircle, this doesnt have agp [20:30] digitalvaldosta: have a look at this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1132119.html === Brucee is now known as Bruceee [20:30] hmm, scp does not seem to work because my server cannot find ssh2... it has worked before :_/ [20:30] Can I switch between python2.5 and python2.6 easily? I tried update-alternatives, but it has no configuration for python. [20:30] PCI video cards aren't as rare as you might think... there are still more PCI cards made than AGP because AGP is phased out but PCI is not. [20:30] okay thanks [20:30] squircle, i did pop it open....and see a pci slow but wasnt sure about the pci-e and how it looks like..i do see a very small slot about 1.5" long [20:31] Hi im trying to listin music with amarok, only its scrols very fast to music!!! with no sound at all, no error messages [20:31] PCI vid cards are handy for multiple monitor support. As in support beyond 2 screens. [20:31] musicpenguin: that's your PCI-E slot, but most video cards are x16, that slot is just x1 [20:31] Sigi, mp3? [20:31] GreyGhost: yes [20:31] squircle, oh ok..so whats a better choice ..to get a pci card or a pci-e card [20:31] Sigi, installed the codecs? [20:31] ThunderWolf: I am curious if the file is set to auto config or static IP. [20:32] how do i unlock an encrypted drive (used LVM + encryption while installing 9.04) using that nifty long-ass hexadecimal key that i generated on first boot? ubuntu forgot my passphrase ;x [20:32] musicpenguin: i don't think there are any x1 PCI-E video cards, you'd have to get a PCI one. [20:32] GreyGhost: uuuh dont know, i can play songs with rythmbox.. [20:32] musicpenguin: if you can find an x1 PCI-E video card, get it [20:32] unkmar i think auto config [20:32] !mp3 | sigi [20:32] sigi: 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 [20:32] GreyGhost: Thanks! [20:33] ceil420: if you can do it without the passphrase what keeps anyone else from doing the same thing? what is the point of encryption then?

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [20:33] squircle, is the pci-e 1X faster than the average pci? [20:33] ceil420: I'm not saying it's impossible.. I'm just saying I would be surprised if there was a way [20:33] Slart_, it generated like a 30 digit hex key that i could use if the passphrase is lost [20:33] musicpenguin: a lot faster [20:33] squircle, oh ok thanks..

[20:34] Ugh, why can't Micro$oft use an open standard such as ext3 for their file system, instead of the monopolistic NTFS. It would make my life in a windows based world so much easier [20:34] squircle, look at the end of the pci card..it looks different than my slot [20:34] I get "Executing ssh2 failed" when trying to scp something from my server... what am I missing? I do not have a ssh2 binary, and I cannot seem to find any either [20:34] hi, how can I kill my sounds? [20:34] how do you turn off the beep noise? what's the terminal command? [20:34] PCI-e x1 would be 250 or 500 MB/sec; PCI maxes out at 133 MB/sec, if memory serves me. [20:34] Hodapp: you're correct [20:34] Hodapp, thanks [20:35] but why does the end look differnet? [20:35] musicpenguin: because some cards have a slot like that for backwards compatibility. don't worry about it, it'll fit [20:35] epicreviews: system, preferences, sound.. I think it's the second one.. on one of the tabs there is a checkbox for "play alert sound" or someting like that [20:35] ubottu: Sorry, I really had no clue. I am using a 19" screen with a no support for external monitors for my GFX Card so it's all blurry. And in this conversation I find it hard to read due to all the status messages here - I don't find a way in Pidgin to disable them. [20:35] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:35] ok, Slart_ [20:36] squircle, ok thanks..but ill start looking for a pci-e 1x [20:36] thanks a lot Slart_!

[20:37] KlingaN: if you go to plugins by right clicking on the pidgin icon on your top panel you should be able to hide join/part/quit messages [20:37] what do you mean "new server" scottyg?

Like: "XXXXX has joined the room" or "GuestXXXX changed name to XXXX" [21:12] Thank you [21:12] it appears that the quick fix for Pidgin's Yahoo problem no longer works [21:13] the_dark_warrio: That probably means crazy mixer setting or a driver issue. Maybe a new version of the driver messed things up with your card. [21:13] KlingaN: that would depend on what software you are using to display "this window" [21:13] Thib_: And what is Pidgin's quick fix? Updating to new version or that paging server hack? [21:13] mbeierl: Pidgin [21:13] how do l activate tty6 and have gnome running there and on tty7 [21:13] hydrian: and they were working fine on Jaunty too, except the microphone. So I was changing the Sound properties to see if I could make mic work and now the sound is like this. The strange thing is that I changed all back and still bugs...

[21:14] mobi-sheep: the Pidgin people have switched from advising to use a different login server name as an interim workaround to upgrading, to asking to upgrade [21:14] it seems like Warewulf 3 will do that, but I can't find much information on it [21:14] silare, if you're just doing quick scripts (testing if file exist, etc), you're probably better off learning shell rather than creating java/c++ apps [21:14] the_dark_warrio: that is probably your issue. Check all of the mic record volumes.

[21:31] hero_nocturnal: if it's wired you just connect them all to the router and connec the external connection to the router as well. you might nieed to configure the authentication for your external connection in your router [21:32] !clone | Mike_lifeguard [21:32] Mike_lifeguard: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [21:32] but I ran into a strange problem with the monitor. if I run it at 1920x1200 the fonts are terrible, like there are vertical stripes in the screen. at 1600x1200 it works fine. any idea what could cause that? [21:32] ah, nice [21:32] Hi all, how do you enable creation of ntfs partitions in gparted under ubuntu, my stand alone gparted live cd seems to have not problem creating ntfs partitions, but the gparted installed in ubuntu has ntfs greyed out... ??? [21:32] Stanley_: I think your soundcard can work with Linux. Check this website: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-AuzenTech [21:32] Hi! Ist there an way to encrypt an partition without formatting it ? [21:32] how do i ssh to a host but *not* add the key to known_hosts? [21:32] carl5: are you sure youre graphics card supports that? [21:33] hilikus: will the router automatically distribute the internet then? coz some days back a friend of mine told me that his friend had the internet connection and they use internet after building a proxy server [21:33] Hilikus: yuo can probably set your known hosts file to /dev/null [21:33] Mike_lifeguard: there is also dpkg --get-selections [21:33] carl5: yeah, I found that just now as well... but !clone seems to have worked ok. Thanks [21:34] hero_nocturnal: you dont need a proxy for that [21:34] hilikus: so when do we use the proxy servers [21:34] someone can say to me how to make a phone camera intoa webcam? [21:35] apart from the monitor problem, I also don't know how to disable the "your job has finished printing" messages [21:35] exit [21:35] how can i enable the Rewrite commands for a directory? [21:35] quit [21:35] exit [21:35] hero_nocturnal: You can install firestarter and use it to share internet connection. [21:35] carl5: If you're using Jaunty, it should display that in notify-osd. It does that for my printer. [21:35] hero_nocturnal: when you want to route http traffic through a server. to make sure that everything goes through some computer. if you do my method everything goes directly to the router, with a proxy you can do stuff like packe sniffing or blocking urls and stuff [21:35] animuson: chomd -w /dir/name/here [21:36] mobi-sheep: i don't know how to configure that [21:36] animuson: Correction: chomd +w /dir/name/here [21:36] car5 what do you mean set it to /dev/null [21:36] carl5: I didn't configure anything. Just the printer setup. [21:36] mobi-sheep: I want to turn it off [21:36] Anyone with some tips on how to compile a kernel on 64-bit machine? I'm trying to shave one more second from my linux boot time. I already compiled the kernel 2.6.30, but I can't get it to boot in 10 seconds! http://img504.yfrog.com/img504/4968/toterdesktopjaunty20090.png [21:36] toter: are you familiar with that at all?

Read about it and try! There's no better weekend project [21:38] hello [21:38] stanle lol [21:39] toter: True.

I've tried a bunch of stuff to fix it ( mostly with xorg.conf ) and I can't figure it out could someone help me? [21:39] hero_nocturnal: yo need to connect your external connection to the proxy and connect everything else in a network that talks to the proxy but not to the router [21:39] toter: But i guess thats how you learn [21:39] For some reason sound isn't working for me. I just upgraded from Intrepid to Jaunty hoping the latest version of Ubuntu would fix this problem but it hasn't, can someone help me solve this issue? [21:39] toter: What's the link?

[21:40] RiverRat: try going to the Display prefs and checking the resolution [21:40] hilikus: so in that case i dont need a router? how do i connect the computers then to the server [21:40] animuson: did you enable the rewrite module in apache already?

[21:41] question what is good burning software to use ?? [21:41] Stanley_: don't be afraid. If you do not destroy it... how are you going to learn?

That EeePC is next to me. I am using Linux Mint 7 on this computer right now [21:44] knock-knock [21:44] Cliff`: There should be a program where you can toggle back to Classic Desktop Mode on your UNR. You need to find it. It's in Applications/System. [21:44] WillyVWade: if it does then its easy to do it, i've done it with unetbootin but there are several apps to create a bootable usb key [21:44] ok thanks. I will look [21:44] animuson: did it work? [21:45] can someone explain me why ./configure fails on ubuntu (what i mean: http://paste.ubuntu.com/202422/) [21:45] it somehow never get's the right version numbers of packages [21:45] had the same problem with gtk before [21:45] toter: I'm running on encrypted partitions so naturally it'll be slower and I have to type in password at boot prompt too. [mobi-sheep laughs out wickedly evil] >:}~ [21:46] carl5, 800x600 is the highest resolution listed. It is a Trident video card on an older laptop. Do I need a different driver? (sorry for the delay, it decided to reboot) [21:46] ojii: looks like you need to install SCIM and the scim devel packages [21:46] ojii, looks like you need to run "sudo apt-get install scim" for that software to compile [21:46] mobi-sheep: all right, it's settled... i'm not gonna laugh, don't worry [21:46] Hilikus: I know how to boot a distro from USB [21:46] RiverRat: hmm. try going to system->administration->hardware drivers and see if it says anything there === exemel is now known as derenrich [21:47] RiverRat: what laptop is it?

[21:47] totter pretty quick [21:47] ojii: even if scim is installed, for ./configure you need the devel package [21:47] carl5, an old Toshiba Satelite [21:47] ojii, i gots nothing for ya. Good luck. [21:48] ojii: try apt-get install libscim-dev [21:48] What's the next long-term release?

[21:54] sudo apt-get install bootchart [21:54] WillyVWade: im not saying it cant be done, i just have never heard of it [21:54] stz184: It could be that the fonts are throwing off the sizes [21:55] fonts shmonts. everything's the same size in the console :D [21:55] stz184: So yea possibly. Should I just install all my windows fonts to linux?

(i have the normal gtk2 stuff but can't find devel stuff) [21:56] stz184: are there any font packages available? Also is it as easy as dropping them in a directory or do i need to install them [21:56] ojii: usually you can find this stuff by doing 'apt-cache search gtk dev' or something like that [21:56] I want to backup my home directory on ubuntu 9.04 and I want to know which software is good for that, I need an easy one [21:56] mobi-sheep: yes, you are right... but is it yours?

[22:18] vvpalin: just mount them the same way. if it buggers you about the filesystem, add -t ntfs [22:18] carl5, nope. i have 1920x1200 [22:18] man mount for details lol [22:19] unitheory: what sort of cable are you using between monitor and video card? [22:19] sudo apt-get install kde4-devel says there is no such package [22:19] carl5, i have a laptop [22:19] have hte names changed? [22:19] ok thank you sjokkis [22:20] Slart, easy fix! Add yourself to the vboxusers group, then log out / log back in - and USB works! Just tested, it's working. [22:20] sdls: kde-devel [22:20] kde-devel is kde4 devel? [22:20] ZykoticK9: mm.. I just noticed that I don't have a vboxusers group at all =/ [22:21] ZykoticK9: I just reinstalled it.. it claims to have created that group now.. perhaps that will fix it [22:21] sdls i would say kde 4 lol [22:21] Slart, hopefully [22:21] carl5, what's wrong with your fonts? [22:21] hi i need help really bad: i just installed jaunty and used an old /home directory, but now when i log in, all i see is A BLANK SCREEN WITH A MOUSE! Can anyone help please? I just removed compiz* and am going to restart, but the login happens, it seems to be with gnome..... help please? [22:22] !please [22:22] Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [22:22] faj you dont need gnome anyways lol [22:22] unitheory: there was some sort of vertical striping; it made the fonts look like they had really bad antialiasing, but when I dragged windows across it I could see them changed as they moved. I changed to 1600x1200 and it all got better [22:22] gogeta: that's not real helpful... === weatherkid_ is now known as CyberAspie [22:23] FAJ verify that you don't have an .xinitrc in your home folder - if you do "mv .xinitrc .xinitrcBACKUP" or something [22:23] carl5, you can adjust antialiasing in system > preferences > appearance > fonts [22:23] ZykoticK9: ok will do in a ssec. [22:24] but it was not the antialiasing, because that would not change when the windows were dragged horizontally [22:25] it was like there were vertical stripes, and whatever part of the letter hit them would be changed === Martineo_ is now known as Martineo [22:26] anyway, I will do some more reading about it; I got a call and have to run [22:26] ZykoticK9: i think it was posssibly b/c some stuff was invalid?? [22:27] ZykoticK9: ah.. had to reinstall to make it recreate the group.. still didn't put my user in it.. but after doing that everything works again..=) [22:28] hmmm... where can i find the vmlinux file needed for oprofile on jaunty? [22:28] it used to be packaged [22:28] thanks [22:28] kde-devel is kde4-devel [22:29] Slart, well thanks for pointing out a problem I wasn't even aware I had. Glad it's fixed for both of us :) [22:29] ZykoticK9: what if i copied the xorg.conf from the livecd and used that for now? [22:29] FAJ that grey screen with the mouse says it's NOT an xorg problem - it can't load your windows manager [22:29] ZykoticK9: ohhh ok === ghost is now known as Guest40616 [22:31] Ugg Ubuntu is wearing me out. It keeps loading in text mode: I've tried startx, dpkg-reconfigure all, reinstalling nvidia drivers, nothing is 'failing' but startx can't find any screens, I reinstalled ubuntu and it worked until about the 3rd time I restarted it, I've tried repair mode and searching online and can't find anything.

Any ideas? [22:34] ZykoticK9: nothing... still black [22:34] Conexion, perhaps something you installed is causing problems? [22:34] hello, last Wow patch 3.1.3 made fps a lot worse, Opengl rendering is simply not working anymore with wine, any suggestions? [22:35] unitheory: Only installed emerald, gparted, and the nvida drivers [22:35] after the first restart it was fine [22:35] warai winetricks and install d3dx9 [22:35] then the second time it wouldn't load [22:35] FAJ, and this is a fresh install, have you tried creating another user and logging in with the new user? Perhaps it is something in your home folder - perhaps it isn't? [22:35] warai should let you render dx9 nativly [22:35] ZykoticK9: no i have not tried creating any other users... how should i go about that? in tty? [22:35] FAJ, is it black or grey? [22:35] gogeta: I'll try it out. [22:36] ZykoticK9: definitely black :) [22:36] inprove fps alot [22:36] It's been a while since I installed ubuntu, but am about to perform virtual machine install... Can someone refresh my memory if there is a place to select which software you would like to install in the installer? [22:36] FAJ, black is different then grey. not sure what to suggest for you man. [22:36] evolution: trouble moving messages from folder to folder and trouble emptying trash [22:37] how do I find out which pkg /usr/local/bin/cpan belongs to ? [22:37] just let it install where it wants. Make sure to get it from the website and not the opensource version [22:37] ZykoticK9: :\ all i see is the mouse....

[22:37] the opensource version lacks some features [22:38] like usb support [22:38] Conexion: maybe it's faster for you to reinstall it then to fix it [22:38] toter: I already did that =/ [22:38] Conexion: Old weak machine?

All those messages about "could not find module..."

Your computers not fast enough for Linux [22:42] anyone? is it posible to use the System Monitor in (k)ubuntu to monitor a remote machine running fedora? [22:42] Conexion: No other machine to stay online with IRC? [22:42] Squarc, just an FYI sorta thing - but gkrellm had a gkrellmd daemon that you can use to remotely monitor boxes with, i'm sure it's available on fedora [22:42] hi [22:43] Conexion: dude, maybe it is something related to the nvidias... Does X work well with your graphics card?

Good luck man. [22:44] Conexion: Are you running 9800's in SLI ? [22:44] ZykoticK9: yah that is what i am thinking, or rm the perms on the old account so i can just acces them [22:44] so could anyone tell me what to do to make my camera work again [22:44] kinja-sheep: Stanley_ And he cannot get X to play right? [22:44] Stanley_: Yes [22:44] Conexion: Right. At third bootup. [22:44] jeruv: but does that also alow me to monitor things like memory and CPU ? [22:45] usr13: Err... At third bootup. [22:45] Conexion: After you solve this problem, you have to install bootchart to see how fast you can boot linux on your machine [22:45] toter: Hah, sounds good [22:45] Heh @ toter [22:45] Conexion: I believe there are some funky settings associated with running sli. Don't trust my opinion though but might be somethign to look into [22:45] Conexion: Did you try: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [22:45] ? [22:45] usr13: Hold on. Conexion: Get online with your iPod.

[22:59] nexx: You might want to install it right away (and update) but don't enable the nvidia 180. That way, you can reboot 10 times and see if it's still good. :> [22:59] toter: uh yeah, but his English seems ok [23:00] so try reinstall but don't use the nvidia 180 yet? [23:00] i have an eeepc 701 with xandros, and desktop with ubuntu jaunty; when i connect on ubuntu via eeepc using krfc, the windows doesnt refresh [23:00] Hey guys, I'm having a bit of trouble with Teamspeak on my Ubuntu 8.04 system [23:00] wondering if anyone could help [23:01] nexx: I guess so since I'm the one giving you advices so far. We need to narrow down and pinpoint the source of the problem. [23:01] nexx: Yea just do a fresh install an reboot 10 or 15 times to see if you get in alright [23:01] nexx: It's hit and miss approach. :) [23:01] !ask|barney-stinston [23:01] barney-stinston: 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. :-) [23:01] barney-stinston: Windows only program? [23:01] nexx: and then update ubuntu and reboot 10 times again, and then enbaled the restricted drivers and reboot 10 times again ... :) get the pont? [23:01] lol kk. it'll be just a short bit as it takes awhile to reformat 2 tb :p [23:01] sebsebseb: teamspeak is available for linux too.. or used to be, at least [23:02] nexx; how come the live cd boots fine and after you reinstall it doesn't load X [23:02] barney-stinston: I've used it in the past.. not recently though [23:02] nexx: only one step at a time that way you can find whats causing the problem [23:02] we think it has to do with nvidia drivers [23:02] nexx: why not have a smaller partition for your OS and the rest for storage? [23:02] toter: Probably because it wasn't using 180 nvidia. Just your basic Xorg would be my guess. [23:02] Well no, they have an Linux installation.. and I do have it installed, I can access the actual program and everything. The problem is that when I'm on there, I have problems with it having me constantly muted, like Mute Microphone and Mute Speakers/Headphone are constantly on, whenever I click on either of them nothing happens [23:02] nexx: Use LVM. This way, you can resize it to 2TB later without having to reinstall. [23:03] nexx: Nevermind. You're using Desktop CD. >_> [23:03] Guys, I just installed d3dx9, and Wow 3.1.3 is still very low in terms of framerate, plz help :( [23:03] Wow worked so much better with opengl rendering [23:03] true... should I just install to a small size and divide the rest up? [23:04] server's /etc/ssh includes both an rsa key and a dsa key, can i use any of them in order to give the server permission to backup data on a client? [23:04] nexx: A single 2TB hard drive? [23:04] when i shutdown or restart ubuntu how come it tells me it will do it in 60 seconds? is it better if i let this 60 seconds pass? [23:04] a 1.5 and a 512gb [23:04] nexx: use the basic xorg driver and then install bootchart. that solves my problem... what is your problem again? :) [23:05] i'll shut up now [23:05] haha [23:05] kinja-sheep , ubottu , Thank you! Have a great day! [23:05] you guys have any idea how I can fix this problem then? [23:05] laeg: Right-click on the applet on top-right and edit Preferences and turn off "Confirm dialog..." would be my guess. Otherwise, try Google. It does not make any difference waiting. [23:06] about synaptic, does IGN mean "ignore," and if so, how can I fix those repositories? [23:06] Don't mean to pester ya guys, but Seb/Slart.. anyone... any ideas on how I could fix my problem with teamspeak? [23:07] quit quit quit [23:07] kinja-sheep: cool ty [23:07] nexx: Just pick a size and install it. I'd prefer finding a small HDD for my linux setup and having that 2TB HDD separate. That way, I don't have to move files all times everytime I were to start out with a new installation and such. :3 [23:08] ulb: It's part of the progress. It's normal. Don't worry about it. :) [23:08] part of the progress? [23:08] I'd use my 512gb for ubuntu if my bios would recognize it on boot :p [23:09] barney-stinston: oh.. haven't seen your question yet.. [23:10] Well no, they have an Linux installation.. and I do have it installed, I can access the actual program and everything. The problem is that when I'm on there, I have problems with it having me constantly muted, like Mute Microphone and Mute Speakers/Headphone are constantly on, whenever I click on either of them nothing happens. Is their anyway to fix that so that I can speak on Teamspeak? [23:10] ulb: There are nothing new (packages related to the repo URL) that need to be reported. (Would be my guess). [23:10] barney-stinston: ah.. now I see.. let me guess.. you're running something else at the same time.. Enemy Territory or something? [23:10] Enemy territory? [23:10] ic, ty kinja [23:10] Um, I'm running only Pidgin... and well, not much else [23:10] barney-stinston: never mind.. it's an online fps based on Wolfenstein I think [23:11] barney-stinston: ok, so you can hear others talking? [23:11] No I cannot, it has me muted Speakers/Headphones as well as Microphone [23:11] IS ANYBODY HEAH HAVING PROBLEMS WITH PIDGIN LIK I AM [23:11] barney-stinston: how do you start teamspeak? just click on it in a menu? or you start it from the command line? [23:11] CANT LOGGIN YAHOO [23:11] aleron6: please.. drop the caps [23:12] aleron, Yahoo broken pidgin [23:12] aleron6: if you behave I'll tell you what is wrong [23:12] !yahoo | aleron6 [23:12] aleron6: At the moment there are many pidgin users experiencing problems connecting to Yahoo IM, you can try changing your paging server to cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com and see if that helps. [23:12] go to the pidgin site and look under news [23:12] so wat is wrong eh [23:12] this happened on the 21st [23:12] yahoo changed the protocols [23:12] aleron6, read the message above [23:12] well i just open it up from the program that is in the folder it left in my Home Folder after I installed it [23:12] i did [23:13] where can i find a selection of login screens?

[23:13] wheres that [23:13] yeah [23:13] i dont know where that is [23:13] is there anything like the k-lite codec pack for ubuntu ? [23:13] It says it's a Shell Script fil [23:13] file* [23:13] vvpalin: w32codecs [23:13] i tried vlc and im not happy with it [23:14] try mplayer [23:14] barney-stinston: ok.. hang on..let me check something real quick [23:14] awesome thank you [23:14] vvpalin, ubuntu-restricted-extras , and some from medibuntu.org w32codecs [23:14] vvpalin: What is wrong with vlc? :3 [23:14] Okay [23:14] cant run as root [23:14] I exidently clicked "Save action" ( or something like that ) when I was closing firefox and then save current session ... anyone knowing how to make firefox ask me again every time ? [23:14] vvpalin, use sudo [23:14] vvpalin: You don't want to run everything in root. [23:14] im not on ubuntu [23:14] im on BT [23:15] then ask for help in their channel vvpalin [23:15] and yes i know all about how bad it is [23:15] BT? Meh. [23:15] #remote-exploit iirc [23:15] i know im there [23:15] lol [23:15] it's offtopic here [23:15] bazhang: BT? [23:15] whats offtopic? asking for codecs ? [23:16] kinja-sheep, backtrack is ubuntu-based, not Ubuntu [23:16] at any rate vvpalin has his/her answer already [23:16] barney-stinston: ok.. try this.. open a terminal [23:16] yes thank you again [23:17] barney-stinston: that's in applications, accessories [23:17] opened [23:17] barney-stinston: then do "cd teamspeak" or whereever you have teamspeak installed [23:18] i am actually terribly bad at this stuff, sorry, i have it installed in my home folder, would that be cd teamspeak still? [23:18] bazhang: Thank you for telling me that. I never knew what BT was. I googled and apparently "BackTrack 4 Pre-Release was released on June 19, 2009." It was interesting thing to know. Yes, offtopic. [23:18] barney-stinston: yes.. when you start a terminal you will be in your home folder by default [23:18] barney-stinston: you can type "ls" to get a list of folders and files in the current directory [23:19] kinja-sheep, their channel is #remote-exploit if you want more info :) [23:19] anyone have an x-fi working with pulseaudio? I did have it in 8.10 but I've dist-upgraded to 9.04 and its' not listed. Do I have to re-install the creative driver or is there a newer one? [23:19] barney-stinston: remember to use capital letter where needed.. teamspeak and TeamSpeak is not the same in linux [23:19] oh okay [23:19] I believe cd TeamSpeak2RC2 worked [23:20] barney-stinston@barney:~/TeamSpeak2RC2$ .. thats what i get now [23:20] barney-stinston: you can also press to make it autocomplete if you have typed the first couple of letters [23:20] oh okay [23:20] bandwidthcrunch: great.. if you type "ls" now.. do you see a file called "teamspeak" or something like that? [23:20] oops.. sorry bandwidthcrunch [23:20] im trying to unzip multiple zip files but the filenames have spaces in them, and when i do "for i in *; do unzip $i; done" it seems like its only sending the characters before the first space into the i variable and all the unzips fail....any suggestions? [23:20] barney-stinston: : great.. if you type "ls" now.. do you see a file called "teamspeak" or something like that? [23:20] barney-stinston: the one you usually double click on to start teamspeak [23:21] xim_, you need to quote $i to "$i" [23:21] yeah, well i believe it's just the folder [23:21] oh wait, ls again [23:21] sorry [23:21] two seconds :p [23:21] I see it [23:21] unop thanks so much! it worked [23:21] barney-stinston: ah.. what is the file called? [23:22] just TeamSpeak [23:22] barney-stinston: ok.. then in the terminal try typing "padsp TeamSpeak" [23:23] Hi, is there a way to upgrade a distribution if I have a newer dist on CD? [23:23] why is right clicking disabled after the latest update? [23:23] exec: 88: TeamSpeak: not found [23:23] hmm [23:23] losher , I was "usingartistxlive" early this morning. If you see this, thank you for the walk-through last night on root password from live to installed! The repairs to x worked. Have a great day! [23:23] sea4ever: just insert the cd.. I think it will popup a window asking you if you want to update [23:24] Or do I have to backup my settings and install from scratch? [23:24] !sshfs [23:24] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHFS [23:24] barney-stinston: hmm.. no typos? uppercase, lowercase all correct? [23:25] barney-stinston: oh.. wait.. my bad.. try this instead.. "padsp ./TeamSpeak" [23:25] why is right clicking disabled after the latest update? [23:25] !details | yillo [23:25] teamspeak is already running, redirecting startupinfo [23:25] If teamspeak is not running, delete the file "/tmp/.lock_teamspeakclient" [23:25] yillo: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [23:26] so i guess i should close teamspeak and try that again? [23:26] barney-stinston: ah.. you need to shut down teamspeak first [23:26] sorry :p [23:26] barney-stinston: correct =) [23:26] okay i'll try it again [23:26] okay it's up [23:27] barney-stinston: now for the billion-dollar question.. does it work? [23:27] =) [23:27] Slart: well, here are my details. my right clicking does not work. not in applications, not on the gnome desktop, not on the taskbar. that's it. [23:27] Yeah :D [23:27] it works! [23:28] Thanks a lot Slart, most appreciated [23:28] even after a restart it still does not work, and this occured after the latest update [23:29] Hey guys, I am running Ubuntu 9.04 on a USB (Not a live cd, its a full install) and due to space issues I want to delete all gnome help files. Is there a package responsible for this? Or how do i remove all gnome help files? [23:29] Is there a shorter version of rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty? [23:29] barney-stinston: you're welcome.. padsp is used to run applications that use OSS.. another sound system that was used earlier in linux.. it just translates whatever oss-stuff the app is trying to do into something that works with pulseaudio.. the new sound system ubuntu uses.. [23:29] Oooo. sshfs is pretty nifty tool! Daddy like like! [23:29] maveas: shorter? 5 letters is too long for you? [23:29] Oh okay, I'll keep it written down. Thanks so much for the help, very kind thing to be helping random people out :] [23:30] !ot [23:30] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [23:30] edbian: huh? can I cut down on --ignore-fail-on-non-empty? [23:31] i'd like to store the new gdms i've downloaded with the default unbuntu ones, where can they be found? [23:31] hey while I'm here, I've been having another problem with my firefox. It seems to spontaneously crash... maybe more so when I have a few tabs open that are loading stuff, but sometimes even when I only have one tab open [23:31] maveas: "sudo rm -r dir name" [23:31] laeg: How did you download them? [23:32] kinja-sheep: from art.gnome.org [23:32] -r makes it recursive [23:32] why does right clicking not work after the latest update? how can I enable it again? [23:32] barney-stinston: first thing you'll need to do is start the fox in safemode - try #firefox or irc.mozilla.org #firefox [23:32] maveas: "sudo rm -r " to be more clear [23:32] Nice, thanks [23:33] laeg: Look in System --> Admin --> Login Window --> [under Remote tab] [23:33] laeg: I turn mine off myself though (ie auto-login). [23:33] Okay [23:33] kinja-sheep: hold up, i thought i had to keep the tar.gx file they came in but it appears i'm actually installing them with the gdm manager when i load them [23:34] how do I open it in safe mode :$ [23:34] Alrigh (I think). [23:34] kinja-sheep: ty :) [23:34] barney-stinston: Open what in safe mode? [23:34] Firefox :P [23:35] barney-stinston: Oh. ALT + F2 --> "firefox -safe-mode" [23:35] Thank you [23:36] yo [23:36] I can't seem to get resolv.conf to update in the manner I want. eth0 and ppp0 both pull dhcp addresses, I want to dismiss the nameserver/domain entries sent on eth0 (I think I fixed that by making an interface block with a mostly empty request line) but then even if I add prepend domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1, I only get the two nameservers provided by my ISP to ppp0 and my nameserver never makes it into /etc/resolv.conf. I'd rather not edit [23:36] by hand and lock (which seems to be the going solution) [23:36] barney-stinston: In the future, read manual configuration (for any packages) by typing "man firefox" (Long & Detailed) -- OR -- "firefox --help" (Quick Summary). [23:37] Okay thanks Kinja :] [23:40] toter: Mmm. [23:40] toter: You there? [23:41] kinja-sheep: so... nexx is running xorg fine on his machine? [23:41] toter: He's not here. :3 And I found something that might help you cut down your bootup even more further. [23:42] kinja-sheep: tell me... [23:42] toter: ## Increase the start speed of multi-core CPU systems. ## [23:42] This will slow down systems that have a single CPU. For multi core CPUs, we can change the services to all start together (in parallel) during boot time. The command to do this is: sudo perl -i -pe 's/CONCURRENCY=none/CONCURRENCY=shell/' /etc/init.d/rc [23:43] kinja-sheep: yeah yeah, i saw that... Mine is already set to "shell" [23:43] toter: You ran the command or you set it up in GUI? I got this somewhere off a site. [23:43] it improved speed a lot using his [23:43] i went /etc/init.d and then sudo nano rc [23:44] any way to make sure my local DNS rules get inserted into my resolv.conf file? [23:44] i changed the value there and rebooted [23:44] hello, any one know itunes equivalent for ubuntu [23:44] ??? [23:44] pshr, for doing what [23:44] pshr, gtkpod === Husaini is now known as husaini [23:44] banshee can sync your ipod [23:44] well bazhang stanford is on itunes [23:45] pshr, podcasts? === husaini is now known as Husaini [23:45] isn't that cool :) well total lectures :) [23:45] What is the terminal command to decompress a zip file, please? [23:45] there used to be things like pymusique, but I think they're all dead [23:45] toter: Thanks. Found bunch of lines and stuffs. Cool. ;) [23:45] liamo1, depends what format the compressed file is in... [23:45] pshr, most of the major audio apps support podcasts [23:46] bazhang: .zip [23:46] rhythmbox, amarok, etc [23:46] bazhang, any thing that can mimic itunes ?? [23:46] well video lectures aint possible are they ? bazhang === don is now known as Guest81759 [23:46] toter: Click on IRC links open up Firefox for you? [23:46] pshr, as in ITunes Music Store? or what [23:46] pshr, I like amarok, but it can't do itunes store [23:46] ebil, it is a standard .zip file [23:47] hi everyone [23:47] liamo1, unzip file.zip === Guest81759 is now known as don0rism [23:47] Can anyone give me a good program to convert .flv to .avi Devede and ffmpeg seem to crash any time I try to use them [23:47] thanks ebil (kind of obvious!) [23:47] hi everyone [23:47] just on to the podcasts bazhang so cant say right off [23:47] pshr, I will try, got a link? [23:47] hi [23:47] ZeitgeistWarrior: ffmpeg is the best program for that. If it crashes it is because you're giving it a corrupt file. [23:47] i wanna learn [23:47] hello guys [23:47] ok bazhang [23:48] Guest38194: What is your question?? [23:48] bazhang, http://itunes.stanford.edu/ [23:48] a lot of question brother [23:48] i wanna start learning linux, how [23:48] edbian: This file I gave it is directly from youtube and plays just fine as a .flv file [23:48] Guest38194: You use Ubuntu at the moment?

[23:49] but i insist to learn it [23:49] toter: Alrigh. I have [that] solution for xchat but I'm guessing you're using Pidgin or something similar. ;) [23:50] Guest38194: :) It's a lot of fun. Go to ubuntu.com and download a live CD :) Burn the iso (using an ISO burner) and boot your computer from it. Do you know how to do all of that? [23:50] Guest38194: For starter, make a backup of your precious ring (documents, music, photos, pr0n, videos, etc). :3 [23:50] kinja-sheep: i'm on osx leopard [23:50] anyone know why yahoo doesnt seem to work on any linux chat clients at the moment [23:50] i see edbian [23:50] !yahoo | fretegi [23:50] fretegi: At the moment there are many pidgin users experiencing problems connecting to Yahoo IM, you can try changing your paging server to cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com and see if that helps. [23:50] kinja-sheep: so... did it work for you? do you have a 64-bit processor? [23:51] guys, support me to learn linux yah:) [23:51] pging service? [23:51] Ops, we should introduce !Yahoo on topic for at least 2 weeks. [23:51] !new | Guest38194 [23:51] Guest38194: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com [23:51] hey guys any good firewall apps for ubuntu? [23:51] i wanna browse ubuntu.com and find live cd, and download it [23:51] bazhang, rythmbox might work i guess, but where from should i get the link to the feed [23:51] toter: Yes on Firefox links. Yes on 64-bit procesor. [23:51] how can I get all the needed software repositories? [23:52] pshr, just trying right now, will take a minute to sync my music collection [23:52] test@test.org [23:52] anyone run a ftp server on their ubuntu? [23:52] kinja_sheep: do you think your linux installation is a little faster after you put concurrency=shell on rc? [23:52] i just know, irc chat that provide opensource, here i am, so glad [23:53] toter: Oh I don't know. Password prompt @ bootup and I don't really... err. I didn't time and such. [23:53] toter: But I'd like to believe it is. :) [23:53] what is a paging server?? [23:53] anyone run a ftp server on their ubuntu? [23:54] kinja-sheep: install bootchart and check your boot time [23:54] hola [23:54] hi somebody can help me to find [23:54] i dont have audio [23:54] in ubuntu [23:54] but the codecs are installed [23:55] http://itunes.stanford.edu/rss.html pshr this seems to be the best way [23:55] yeah bazhang worked for me thanks [23:56] !list [23:56] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » === zehrique_ is now known as zehrique [23:56] I installed festival and the default voice is creepy, how do I change it? [23:56] does the default gnome-session read .xsession? [23:57] kinja-sheep: After changing the rc file, you have to install insserv [23:57] kinja-sheep: http://man-wiki.net/index.php/8:insserv [23:58] so the paging server, is there another port that coincides with it? [23:58] currently on 5050 [23:58] toter: Bootchart installed. What do you mean? You mean the shell thing in rc file? Why insserv? [23:58] guys...what's easy linux to understand at the first time, i wanna learn it [23:59] debian,ubuntu,redhat, or others [23:59] guest38194 get ubuntu [23:59] very very similiar to win XP [23:59] Guest38194: I'm not lying to you. Ubuntu is a good linux to start with. [23:59] I just installed 9.04 on my Netbook (HP Mini 2133) but I am having serious problems with my external monitor due to the VIA-graphics. I am thinking of installing 8.10 - is there any way to revert to an earlier version of a kernel? (I've never had 8.10 before) [23:59] I started with ubuntu [23:59] thank you fretegi and kinja-sheep [23:59] but i know nothing about linux at all
