[00:00] i can download the drivers onto a flash drive... [00:00] hoolz /etc/shadow [00:00] hoolz, did you actually enable the root account and set a password? [00:00] Devon_C: now right click on gnomad and you should get an option to install [00:00] cbhl, It's not really a matter of practicality, more of a learning experience if you will. Anyway, I changed /etc/environment to include /home/eric/Software/flock but when I attempt to run flock-browser bash says "/usr/bin/flock-browser no such file or directory" [00:00] hi guys have problem in Empathy 2.27.2 i can login in msn by it but all people appear offline but in reality some of them are online an one know what is the problem [00:00] droptothetop i think so [00:00] how do i find out? [00:00] Devon_C: then click "apply" [00:01] mdg: it's installed [00:01] wait i think im just a "user" account [00:01] mdg: it gives me an option to uninstall [00:01] Devon_C: also grap gtkpod [00:01] hoolz, well if you set it, then it will be hashed in /etc/shadow [00:01] Apollo2366: What did you type into bash, exactly? [00:01] grap/grab [00:01] flock-browser [00:01] hoolz, you won't actually be able to see the password itself [00:01] mdg: :/ it doesn't support iPod touches [00:01] wildboy211: Hm, that's a bit above my level, sorry. Perhaps someone else here can help you. [00:01] hoolz, just it's hash [00:01] mdg: or it least doesn't say anything about them [00:01] oh [00:01] is it crackable? [00:01] thanks anyways... [00:01] Devon_C: gtkpod does 1st generation [00:01] mdg: I'm reinstalling gnomad [00:01] hoolz, it would take awhile [00:01] hi how change drivers wifi ? [00:02] mdg: oh, great! [00:02] Apollo2366: what does "echo $PATH" tell you? [00:02] droptothetop are there any vuln for ubuntu desktop [00:02] or is it secure? [00:02] how change drivers wifi ??? [00:03] hoolz: If you have physical access to the PC, you could always overwrite Ubuntu with another OS (e.g. Windows)... that could be considered "insecure" [00:03] Devon_C: I have a web page tutorial for gtkpod http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/07/07/how-to-use-gtkpod-to-manage-your-ipod-in-ubuntu/ [00:03] mdg: okay, I think I need to actually mount my iPod [00:03] cbhl, that's weird, it prints what it was before I added my stuff to it [00:03] Devon_C: look at the link I sent [00:03] I know this is not the place,but I need help with php [00:03] mdg: so it's in there lol... okay [00:04] cbhl, so everything except /home/eric/Software/flock [00:04] Excuse me y'all... is there a plugin for XCHAT that edits that capitalizes the first letter and adds punctuation? [00:04] Apollo2366: Try restarting your terminal... if that doesn't help, try logging out and logging back in. If I recall correctly, /etc/environment only gets read a few times, so when you change it you need to force whatever it is that loads it to reread /etc/environment [00:04] anybody else think they can help me...i need to get my USB network adapter workign [00:05] wildboy211: I sent you a link where someone got that adapter working [00:05] Devon_C: update?

Based on this process list: http://www.binpaste.com/v.php?id=3ignm and this lsof: http://www.binpaste.com/v.php?id=h6a86 [00:06] wildboy211: if that is too techie, your best option is going to be to buy another adapter [00:07] I'm trying to compile the kernel following http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/how-to-customize-your-ubuntu-kernel/ [00:07] cbhl, restarting the terminal didn't work, so brb [00:07] but I get this error : [00:07] th0r...not too techie...just never used Linux before... [00:07] mdg: what do I do now that I have the gtkpod file saved? it's a .tar.gz [00:07] mdg: I'm guessing there's a console command to install it [00:08] Devon_C: did you use synaptic? [00:08] "unexpected operator" [00:08] wildboy211: see this link http://blog.eksfiles.net/2008/11/02/follow-up-linksys-wireless-adapters-in-ubuntu-intrepid/ === razix is now known as deepblue [00:08] The changelog says we are creating 2.6.27.18-custom.

[00:12] wildboy211: you can install ndiswrapper through synaptic [00:12] cbhl, would I find info on that in the wiki?

[00:13] Apollo2366: Just keep in mind that it might not work as expected -- for example, there's a program called busybox (which you may have heard of) which acts differently depending on what name it's called with [00:13] Devon_C: no not computer, just gtkpod [00:13] evon: If you are enlarging a partition, than you are not combining two with data... OK then Go for it. [00:13] mdg: thats what I thought, okay... trying again [00:13] Hello I've got a problem can anybody please help?

[00:24] mdg: There is no 'enable networking' option when she right-clicks the icon.

[00:43] jigp: Go to window 1, and you use ctrl-x to cycle through them, then /disconnect [00:44] oh, right, if you still have the status window enabled, that'll work too [00:44] raylu: Now she also gets pan0 but still nothing for wireless [00:44] mdg: looks like I'll have to wait until my sister moves out - I can take her desktop with Windows XP installed on it [00:44] Flannel : window 1 which is the [status] right? [00:44] mdg: but man, I really wish this would have worked [00:44] AndorinKato: what card/driver is "she" using? [00:44] jigp: correct, after your nick you see something like: [1:freenode (change with ^X)] [00:44] jigp: That'll change as you cycle [00:44] Devon_C: did you update your 2 day old install? [00:44] mdg: yeah, of course [00:45] mdg: I can check for updates then restart [00:45] see if that helps [00:45] mdg: She says she did but apparently the disc is designed for Windows [00:45] Devon_C: just checking - [00:45] Flannel : so win i do cntl+x i will just type /disconnect server1 ? and server2 will not disconnect? [00:45] AndorinKato: that's okay. We need the WIN XP driver from it. But before that [00:45] jigp: just /disconnect will disconnect you from your current server [00:45] raylu: Her wireless card is a D-link WTA 1320 [00:45] Flannel : win/when [00:45] Man I wish there was a DreamWeaver replacement for Linux. [00:45] AndorinKato: we need to make sure ndiswrapper and ntgdisk are installed [00:45] Ok [00:45] linuxguy2009: there's a better one. it's called a text editor [00:46] nothing replace Dreamweaver [00:46] mdg: hmmm... something just updated [00:46] Flannel : ok thanks :) good morning [00:46] the best WYSIWYG [00:46] !html | linuxguy2009 [00:46] linuxguy2009: html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build web pages. WYSIWYG editors: KompoZer (was Nvu), Iceape Composer, Amaya - Development environments: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem - For a howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com/ [00:46] mdg: She has neither. [00:46] raylu: Im too lazy to learn HTML coding. Why bother. [00:46] mdg, actually it's ndisgtk ;) [00:46] linuxguy2009: it's not even coding. and you should bother because nobody wants more crap spit out of wysiwyg editors on the internet [00:47] aren't you a pro dev linuxguy2009 ? [00:47] AndorinKato: we need to go in through synaptic Menu - Administration -Synaptic [00:47] oh, and another quick thing - anyone can answer this [00:47] sebastien_: he uses dreamweaver, what kind of question is that? [00:47] how do I hide folders? is there an option in preferences? [00:47] nope not a pro at all. [00:47] I couldnt seem to find it [00:47] brb [00:47] mdg: Real quick, she isn't connected to the Internet, will this make a difference? [00:47] Devon_C: the simplest way is to start their names with a . [00:47] raylu: When helping, please be helpful. [00:48] cyberghoser1: thanks! [00:48] raylu: so start with a "." [00:48] :) [00:48] hi everyone [00:48] hi Eternal_Sin [00:48] hi [00:48] Flannel: sorry :( [00:49] raylu: that didn't work :/ [00:49] AndorinKato: yes she needs internet access somehow to get these [00:49] Devon_C: what did you do? [00:49] mdg: Well, her entire problem is that she's trying to /get/ connectefd [00:49] -f [00:49] raylu: the folder name is pf3 so i changed it to ".pf3" [00:49] AndorinKato: you can't temporarily plug in an ethernet cable? [00:50] Devon_C, if you put a dot in front of the file/folder you want to hide it will not show up in nautilus unless you use preferences -> show hidden folders [00:50] raylu: No, I don't think she has one long enough anyway [00:50] AndorinKato: no ethernet adapter and cable? [00:50] Devon_C: it should be hidden when you "ls" that directory now. and what cyberghoser1 said about nautilus [00:51] raylu: yeah, that worked [00:51] thanks! [00:51] are ndiswrapper and ndiskgtc on the install cd - does anyone know? [00:51] mdg: pretty sure they're not [00:51] prepare for dependency hell. [00:52] alright folks... thanks for all your help! especially mdg, thanks so much man [00:52] AndorinKato: are you and your friend in the same location? [00:52] hello can anyone tell me the equivalent in ubuntu for emege -av nvidia-drivers? [00:52] mdg: No, I'm talking to her over the phone [00:52] I'll be rolling out now [00:52] Devon_C: your welcome - wish it would have turned out better [00:52] hikenboot_: aptitude install nvidia-glx [00:52] mdg, raylu: ndiswrapper is, and... ndisgtk is too. [00:52] hikenboot_: there's no real equivalent to -a, but -s simulates [00:53] !slap Varakh [00:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about slap Varakh [00:53] Flannel: can you walk AndorinKato how to install them from disk? [00:54] Flannel: I've never done that from the install disk before [00:54] raylu, i am following these gentoo directions http://legroom.net/2008/06/22/running-binary-nvidia-drivers-under-xen-host but it seems like their command installs it against a different kernel source... [00:54] Flannel: Oh, you add the disk through SYnaptic right? [00:54] tgv [00:54] I'd like to join 5 high resolution pngs into an avi file (1600x1200) where every image stays for 3 seconds, and then the next one. Which linux software would you use to accomplish this? Do you know the mencoder command? [00:54] mdg, AndorinKato: put your install CD in the drive (with Ubuntu running), if it doesn't automatically pick it up, go to a terminal and do: `sudo apt-cdrom add` and then your CD will be added as a repository. Then use whatever package manager you want (synaptic) to install the package. [00:54] hikenboot_: that command should install it for the currently running kernel's source.. probably. [00:54] mdg: Yeah, it's just a repo on the CD [00:54] Hey guys is there any command or way to know what version of an application i have installed (i didnt install it through synaptic).? Im interested in know what version of AWN (avant window manager) I am running. Thanks [00:55] Flannel: Before we get into it, she's running Kubuntu 9.04. Does this make a difference? [00:55] Flannel: that's easy! :) Thanks! [00:55] mdg: by default, i think there's a commented line in /etc/apt/sources.list with the cd repo [00:55] AndorinKato: I'll double check the Kubuntu CD [00:55] raylu: Only if you install with the alternate CD [00:55] mubu: mos tapps have --version [00:56] how do you configure virtual hosts for Apache in Ubuntu Jaunty? [00:56] Flannel: i've always installed with the desktop cd on a usb and it's been there [00:56] mubu: *most apps [00:56] raylu will try it out thanks [00:56] Flannel: can I ask -how did you determine they are on the install cd? [00:56] myk_robinson: there are a ton of guides on the internet. also, try #ubuntu-server [00:56] raylu wokred like a charm [00:57] mdg: hmm, kubuntu doesn't have a .list file for some reason. Yeah, This file lists everything on the CD (for this particular version): http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.list [00:57] mdg: That's in the same folder on the mirrors as the ISOs themselves, .list is a listing of the contents of the CD, .manifest is a list of the packages built into the live image [00:58] myk_robinson: What are you trying to configure? [00:58] Flannel: I did not know that - excellent! :) [00:58] <^Phantom^> Can anyone please recommend me a good tv tuner program for ubuntu? [00:58] Flannel: I want to use /home/user/Public/WWW as the root, with subfolders inside for sites I am working on for testing before uploading to a real webserver [00:59] ^Phantom^: Myth TV [00:59] myk_robinson: Does it hvave to be root? or can it be domain/~user/? since that's already set up actually. [00:59] i am having trouble deleting files. I am logged in as root, the files are owned by root, they do not have any special extended attributes, but yet rm says "cannot remove 'file_name': Permission denied" [00:59] * ^Phantom^ looks into it [00:59] Flannel: for example, /home/user/Public/WWW/siteA /home/user/Public/WWW/siteB [00:59] Flannel: So I suppose that you can't be sure whether those files are on the CD? [00:59] Flannel: we decided that kubuntu has ndiswrapper and ndiskgtk on the cd? I was reading... sorry [00:59] Flannel: I meant as the root directory for Apache, not root user [00:59] myk_robinson: Righ, I know. [00:59] ewsubach: read-online file-system? [01:00] iceroot: nope [01:00] myk_robinson: Would a subfolder for your username be sufficient? or do you actually need the webroot? [01:00] hi all [01:00] ewsubach: show us the actual command you're using? [01:00] <^Phantom^> do i need the control centre too? [01:00] do u all know a good alternative to norton ghost [01:00] Flannel: not really sure. I have been doing a little reading and may have gotten confused. What do you recommend? I want to use a directory that does not require Root privileges [01:00] mdg, AndorinKato: I know Ubuntu does. Kubuntu almost certianly has ndiswrapper, but it's doubtful it has a GTK utility. I can't verify, since I don't see a .list file, but you could open up the kubuntu CD in a file browser and look [01:00] MellowDude: what is norton ghost? [01:00] keep forgetting... how do you attach to the currently open x on the /host's/ side of ssh (i.e. how do you open applications and have them show up on the host's screen rather than -X over the client's) [01:01] ^Phantom^: idk [01:01] raylu: root@ewslaptop:~/.local/share/Trash/files/BackupSecure/Backup# rm * [01:01] iceroot its an HD ghosting program [01:01] hi! [01:01] myk_robinson: use mod_userdor /home/username/public_html as your www-root [01:01] oh hi [01:01] Anyone know where I can find an .svg version of the icon for the Flock browser? [01:01] myk_robinson: mod_userdir [01:01] myk_robinson: If you put stuff in ~/public_html/ (and make it readable by the user www-data) then it'll show up at http://whatever/~username/ [01:01] my nikon coolpix camera doesn't work any more via usb in (k)ubuntu [01:01] the download doesn't come with one [01:02] i.e. neither can i mount it nor can digikam open it [01:02] myk_robinson: This is just a test machine and stuff? [01:02] Flannel: i wonder if there is a kubuntu equivalament of ndiskgtc? [01:02] Flannel: yes, on my laptop, just want to be able to test sites before uploading [01:02] [20938.389161] usb 4-2: usbfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed cmd gvfs-gphoto2-vo rqt 33 rq 102 len 0 ret -110 [01:02] myk_robinson: alright, then what we'll do is simply do some permission-magic to make it so you don't need to use sudo to throw stuff into /var/www/ [01:02] myk_robinson: then why do you need virtual hosts? [01:03] ^Phantom^: it has an IRC room. Same server as this, #mythtv_users [01:03] myk_robinson: The easiest way to do it is to add yourself to the www-data group (sudo adduser username www-data) and then sudo chmod g+w /var/www [01:03] MellowDude: i use partimage. [01:04] ^Phantom^: sorry I mean #mythtv-users [01:04] raylu: I read some of the tutorials online, and am just regurgitating what they claim i needed to do. That's why i came here, I already read some stuff online and it all seems to conflict with each other [01:04] myk_robinson: You'll have to log back in for the group addition to take effect, but you'll then be able to write to /var/www as your regular user [01:04] AndorinKato: you still with us? [01:04] Flannel: you mind if I make this private so i can keep up for a sec? [01:04] myk_robinson: I don't mind repeating or whatnot, but sure. [01:04] mdg: Yes, just in PM with someone atm, thank you [01:04] oh okay [01:05] <^Phantom^> Oh okay. Thankies, marca311 [01:06] i found a program called Ghost for Linux but i dont know if its any good or not [01:07] MellowDude: ive used both g4l and partimage. i like partimage better [01:08] raylu: found the problem, it was a directory higher up than the one i was in that had the lsattr i flag [01:08] Failed to execute child process "/opt/firefox/firefox" (No such file or directory) ----- How do i fix this error? I have to run firefox-3.0 to use firefox. [01:08] ewsubach: i see [01:09] satellite: how did you install firefox? also, what's the output of "which firefox" [01:09] satellite, in terminal type which firefox-3.0 [01:09] one second [01:09] No output. [01:09] satellite: sudo apt-get remove Firefox --purge then sudo apt-get install Firefox [01:09] cool beans. [01:09] satellite: and the answer to the first question? [01:10] Question: I'm running into an issue with 9.04 that wasn't in 8.04 - when I try to copy files with long filenames/paths that were valid in 8.04 I'm getting an error that the filenames are too long. Is there a workaround or setting to resolve that? [01:10] how do I use irssi to connect to xbmc irc? [01:10] sAM_: if he has firefox installed some other way, that won't be such a great idea [01:10] Fresh ubuntu install... then like an idiot followed the firefox2 tutorial , old one. [01:10] yeh you are righ raylu :( [01:10] I did something with dpkg -deflect ...... Or something [01:10] satellite: could i see that tutorial? also, what version of ubuntu? === webarnes is now known as kilrae [01:11] my computer is being less than reliable [01:11] Sandralalk mo :* [01:11] HugoBoss: =8§:/ [01:11] Jaunty [01:11] raylu: Jaunty [01:12] Sandralalk :D qnta gente [01:12] satellite, jaunty had firefox-3.0 by default [01:12] joining [01:12] HugoBoss: =8§:/ [01:12] °° [01:12] mo vamo abrir um canal aqui?

[01:14] mdg: Sorta. I'll let you know either way when we're finished [01:14] heys brothers! anyone has used tripwire ! thx [01:14] bsmith_: can't help there [01:14] Anyone on here who can help with dyndns.org setup without a router? === mcasadevall is now known as NCommander [01:16] the remix edition of ubuntu comes with xfe, kde or gnome?? [01:16] !remix [01:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about remix [01:16] Hilikus: none of the above. What it comes with is closes to Gnome. [01:16] =\ [01:16] !unr [01:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about unr [01:16] leaving [01:16] bleh [01:16] Hilikus: the netbook remix? [01:17] bsmith_: you just want to use an other dns? [01:17] !moo [01:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about moo [01:17] raylu yes [01:17] derspankster: i believe he wants a dns entry pointing to him [01:17] Hilikus: what ryanprior said :P [01:17] ryanprior i see, is it lighter than stock ubuntu then i guess [01:17] raylu" Oh, OK. [01:17] raylu: http://tinyurl.com/lupp4d [01:17] Hilikus: no, heavier by a significant bit actually. [01:18] derspankster: I want to use my linux box as a server. [01:18] Hilikus: the main difference is that it's optimized to take advantage of every available bit of screen space. [01:19] I do not like the NBR [01:19] satellite: apt-get -s purge libstdc++5 [01:19] satellite: Please suggest improvements by writing Launchpad blueprints, filing bugs, and participating in the Ubuntu Brainstorm. [01:19] bsmith_: i use no-ip.com for this purpose [01:20] raylu: are you working without a router? [01:20] ryanprio really?? so xuvbuntu would be better or remix will run well in terms of performance in a netbook? [01:20] bsmith_: no, but the configuration isn't in my router anyway [01:20] Hilikus: it [01:20] whoops. [01:20] Hilikus: it's more suitable for small screens [01:20] raylu: I set up an account with dyndns.org. Does no-ip.com cost money? [01:21] Hilikus: I think that Xubuntu would be the easiest on your memory and processor; but xubuntu, kubuntu, and ubuntu assume that you have a full-sized screen, which makes the experience less enjoyable. [01:21] bsmith_: if you want an "enhanced domain." otherwise, no [01:21] anyone know a site that could help me get Ubuntu installed on a Toshiba Satellite 8355, after it reads the disc the screen just stays black indefinitely after "Install" is selected [01:21] !alternate | myxo [01:21] myxo: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [01:21] !livecd [01:21] The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. [01:21] !liveusb [01:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about liveusb [01:21] raylu: Will this conflict with dyndns.org? [01:22] bsmith_: no, as long as you tell others to use your no-ip subdomain [01:22] bsmith_: multiple dns entries can point to the same ip [01:22] raylu thanks! is the % near to 100 to say it works on "all" pcs lol? [01:22] ryanprior so even if it would be lighter to run xubuntu, remix still runs well + with good screen usage? [01:22] bsmith_: dyndns and no-ip do pretty much the same thing. [01:22] myxo: ubuntu isn't even near 100% pc support [01:23] ryanprior: Ok so setting up no-ip would result in not being able to view my site either. [01:23] raylu rofl [01:23] bsmith_: the Netbook Remix works well on the netbooks I've tried. [01:23] raylu would a diff distrobution be more wide ranging? anything similar? [01:23] myxo: ubuntu intentionally only spports i386 and amd64 to reduce the workload [01:23] bsmith_: That's not what I mean. no-ip would point to your website, and dyndns would also point to your website. [01:23] myxo: but you didn't really ask the right question [01:24] Hilikus: the Netbook Remix works well on the netbooks I've tried. [01:24] bsmith_: sorry about the netbook comment, got the name wrong. =D [01:24] myxo: i'd just try the alternate cd for now [01:24] im always having problems with the audio in gtk-recordmydesktop [01:24] We're introducing ARM support, IIRC. [01:25] does someone know how to fix this? [01:25] ryanprior: o.0, really? [01:25] ryanprior: Thats fine. I can't even connect to the ip address yet alone the website. [01:25] ok a different questions. is it possible to have a conditional /etc/hosts based on which network you are in? if im in my home network i cant connect my server using the external ip, so i have problems with mount, bookmarks, etc. i need something that when detects im inmy network maps a name to a local ip and otherwise map the same name to the external ip [01:25] ryan thank you [01:25] raylu ah ok, i dont seem to see it on the download screen, still looking =p [01:25] it hangs/gets faster a lot [01:25] raylu: yes, announced in November 2008 [01:25] raylu: http://www.ubuntu.com/news/arm-linux [01:26] How do I hook my AC unit to my UBUNTU [01:26] Hilikus: enjoy :-) [01:26] can anyone point me to a doc on installing the python2.4 (not 2.5) profiler in ubuntu? thanks! [01:26] satellite: Ubuntu does not have a functioning air conditioner driver yet. [01:27] joining [01:27] hey, does someone have a 9.04 x86 livecd handy? [01:27] raylu amd64 version is for any 64 bit system right? [01:27] isotherm: yeah, I've got one. Here you go. [01:27] anyone? [01:27] * ryanprior hands the CD to isotherm. [01:27] myxo: any 64-bit system that you're likely to encounter, yess [01:28] raylu mk, wasnt sure because it had amd, what does amd mean in that case? [01:28] i'm missing the files in /.disk (very small text files), i'm wondering if someone can provide them [01:28] myxo: that amd likes seeing their brand name on the architecture name [01:28] raylu oh lol [01:28] No fridgidaire drivers? [01:28] leaving..bbak [01:28] :P later [01:29] hey i'm getting a new box tomorrow and wondering if there is any reason i shouldn't install the 64bit version [01:29] contional /etc/hosts anyone [01:29] conditional* [01:29] hi [01:29] RequinB4: a few programs might have compatibility issues. how much RAM do you have and what do you intend to use your machine for? [01:29] RequinB4: 64 has been working great for me for over 8 months [01:29] RequinB4: flash for Ubuntu 64-bit sucks. Apart from that, no reason. [01:30] raylu - 4GB, nothing particularly special just general use [01:30] i deleted nm-applet and I can't start it now..running latest [01:30] koala [01:30] ryanprior - that's what i was afraid of [01:30] ryanprior: my flash sucks less than when I was on 32 [01:30] bad mistake [01:30] RequinB4: i'd go with 64-bit, then [01:30] cool [01:30] thx [01:30] CarlFK1: amen to that, Flash sucks [01:30] i guess if flash doesn't work i can always reinstall [01:30] RequinB4: you can also just install 32-bit Flash [01:31] is there a 64-bit gnash or swfdec? [01:31] I just installed FF3.5, hoping to make a 20 byte html page that lets me play a .ogv stream from an icecast server [01:31] RequinB4: you betcha, 64-bit Gnash runs great [01:31] if i do iwconfig ra0 essid network_name it does not stick [01:31] that works too, thx [01:31] ryanprior: full-screen support? [01:31] if FF will stream .ogv ... I am going to join the crusade [01:32] jv2: sudo. also, iwconfig ra0 commit [01:32] Hi, im with a problem with my apt-get; can someone helpme? [01:32] Amaeth: only if you're more specific [01:32] raylu: The virtual machine has full-screen support, don't know whether it's implemented in ActionScript yet or not. [01:32] hey all [01:32] ryanprior: the virtual machine? [01:32] I think that we should support "apt-get halp" [01:32] Raylu: will try commit..did also with sudo [01:32] hmm can anyone provide me the files in /.disk or tell me where to find them online? === cthulhu is now known as Guest42830 [01:32] google seach didn't show anything [01:32] i just installed 9.04 on my mac mini. it installed ok, but whenever i go to "power management" it locks up ubuntu. the mouse still moves but everything is frozen. any ideas whats wrong ? [01:33] raylu: Gnash is a general virtual runtime engine, with a Flash compatibility layer. [01:33] isotherm: there shouldn't be anything in .disk. what filesystem and why? [01:33] these files in /.disk: base_installable casper-uuid-generic cd_type info release_notes_url [01:33] ryanprior: what sort of other stuff can Gnash do? [01:33] from the lvecd [01:33] LordDragon: are mac mini ppc? [01:33] mdg, no its an intel mac mini [01:33] i know that base_installable is empty, but the others are small text files [01:33] Hodapp: At its core, it's a general media-display platform that can theoretically support any sort of programming interface. [01:34] heys brothers! anyone has used tripwire ! thx [01:34] i have a live usb missing those files, so it will not boot [01:34] ryanprior: interesting. [01:34] isotherm: i think that's only for the squashfs on the livecd. they shouldn't be there on an installed system [01:34] oks; i cnt install upgrade check remove autoremove or force any aplication in apt-get: its response [01:34] http://pastebin.com/d4cda9935 [01:34] ubuntu not installed yet [01:34] Hodapp: its compliment is Cygnal, a general media-distribution server with Flash Media Server compatibility [01:35] Amaeth: did you apt-get update first? [01:35] raylu: command was nm-applet --sm-disable from autostart [01:35] jv2: huh?

Can someone help me with firestarter [02:43] raylu: thanks [02:44] bsmith_: uhh... Firestarter isn't being developed anymore is it? [02:44] !firestarter [02:44] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [02:44] bsmith_, did you make sure to forward the port on your router? [02:44] coleys: I am unaware of that, I just downloaded it recently. [02:44] R_YoYo_R: I am routerless [02:44] bsmith_: I could be wrong, but you don't really need firestarter. Just complicates things unecessarily. [02:45] bsmith_, ahh .... I just use the built in remote desktop app [02:45] bsmith_, gnome or kde? [02:45] what account do cron jobs run under... the user account - or is there a cron system account? [02:45] bsmith_: And... are you having truoble getting ssh to work? [02:45] R_YoYo_R: sorry i'm ubuntu stupid. I'm running ubunut 9.04 non server edition. [02:46] coleys: yes [02:46] bsmith_, and you want to make sure you have a static IP .... [02:46] bsmith_: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [02:46] zealiod: each user can have his own crontab [02:46] man! need to reinstall because reconfguring the keyboard settings did not work [02:46] then you can use VNC viewer.... just pop in your IP and you should be golden [02:46] zealiod: that's what crontab's -u flag is for :D [02:46] R_YoYo_R: I'm avoiding that using dyndns.org to update back to xxx.homelinux.org. [02:46] bsmith_: ssh -l coleys(Username) 192.168.2.18(local IP) [02:46] raylu: sure i understand that - but when the cron jobs are run - are they run as the user [02:47] bsmith_, that works too. [02:47] and it's faster to install than to finding out what's wrong :) [02:47] at least for me [02:47] zealiod: they're run under whover's crontab they are under [02:47] bsmith_: So in this format: ssh -l username Localip(or internetip) [02:47] raylu: with there permission [02:47] raylu: then that is mighty weird [02:47] zealiod: why? [02:47] bsmith_, is port 5900 open? [02:47] i don't speak french [02:47] R_YoYo_R: ssh uses 22.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [02:48] what language do you speak? portuguese? [02:48] R_YoYo_R: How can I check that [02:48] bsmith_, you don't have to use -l .. you could use ssh username@host(ip) [02:48] raylu: if i run this pyton script its all good, but the cron job falls over and requires the sudo passed - i've added this user to the visudo to allow sudo access.... but the cron job still requires a password, which breaks the program [02:48] coleys, bsmith_ is the point to ssh? did i miss something? I thought we were trying to do remote desktop [02:48] i don' tunderstand english [02:48] MellowDude - #ubuntu-offtopic [02:48] R_YoYo_R: Ssh. [02:49] well i suppose you can use ssh to remote desktop but .... [02:49] zealiod: why not just run the job as root? [02:49] salam: speak what language?

[02:49] coley: permission denied, checking typr [02:49] hikenboot_: dpkg -L [package name] lists files owned by a pakcage [02:50] thanks raylu [02:50] bsmith_, so go into system\preferences\remote desktop [02:50] zealiod: you want the job to do something that requires root permissions... sudo seems like a round-about way of doing it [02:50] bsmith_, enable that [02:50] bsmith_: Do both computers have... openssh-server installed on them? [02:50] bsmith_, then on the windows machine use a vncviewer [02:50] bsmith_: And are both connected to the internet/lan [02:50] bsmith_, and go to whatever.homelinux.org:5900 [02:51] bsmith_, and assuming port 5900 is open you should be all set [02:51] raylu: sure, but i only want the script to have access to certain programs, so i can specify those programs in the visudo entry [02:51] raylu: makes it a bit tighter - works ok for www user [02:51] zealiod: show me your sudoers then, i guess [02:52] jv1: whats wrong. keyboard settings keep changing from US to something else? [02:52] TheUser ALL= NOPASSWD: /home/SerenNet/, /sbin/iptables [02:52] legend2440: somehow i screwed up my keyboard settings [02:52] raylu: thats the entry [02:52] coleys: no I couldn't even intall openssh-server [02:52] and I can't get them to restore back to US [02:52] by systems > keyaboard [02:53] bsmith_: sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install openssh-server [02:53] beyboard [02:53] shoot [02:53] bsmith_: sudo apt-get upgrate && sudo apt-get install openssh-server* [02:53] having sound issues, using pulseaudio, aplay -l doesn't show my soundcard, alsa info here: http://bit.ly/tKL5v [02:53] dfijkdsgfd\ [02:53] sometimes I type ok ;) [02:53] zealiod: either i'm misunderstanding sudoers syntax or /home/serennet/ is invalid [02:53] bsmith_: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install openssh-server* [02:53] bsmith_, coleys i still dont understand why we are installing openssh ... all he wants to do is be able to remote into his machine from work [02:53] or by running the configuration on the terminal [02:53] zealiod: also, try sudo -u TheUser sudo iptables -L [02:53] jv1: can you paste the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? [02:53] !paste [02:53] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[02:54] coleys: working now [02:54] R_YoYo_R: He said "SSH" and that is remote aswell... [02:54] what file is responsible for the boot selection menu on the live CD? And can it be altered to point to a USB device as a choice? [02:54] bsmith_: Perfect. [02:54] A|X: that would be absurd [02:54] i agree! [02:54] raylu: try in what capacity? [02:54] raylu: in the python script or? [02:54] zealiod: just as your current user [02:54] coleys, right i assumed he read somewhere he needed SSH to do it. I was trying to take him down the easy route [02:54] raylu: that works fine [02:54] now what? [02:55] I'm at a hotel, using a wired internet service. In XP, Firefox takes me to the hotel's start page for the Internet access, where I can click to buy 24 hrs access. However, in Ubuntu, Firefox can't find a connection. Could I hook this up manually, somehow? [02:55] R_YoYo_R: Ahh, well I bet he would like to have remote desktop access ie VNC aswell... Ssh is only cli. [02:55] bsmith_, can you try the suggestions i made previously? [02:55] yes, I will try..tx oh..there is no keyboard section [02:55] coleys, my point exactly [02:55] on xonrg.conf [02:55] zealiod: and the crontab entry can be seen with "sudo crontab -u TheUser -e"? [02:55] xorg.conf [02:56] R_YoYo_R: Regardless he said he waas trying to get ssh to work, didn't mention vnc, but it would be good for him to know. [02:56] raylu: yes [02:56] zealiod: then i have no idea [02:57] Could it be that the hotel's connection thing (what's this called, a proxy? a gateway?) only works in XP? After buying access, I would think eth0 would provide me with access also in Linux... [02:58] How come ubuntu don't remember the changes I do in NVIDIA settings when I restart? [02:58] joakimk: How are you connecting? Wireless or wired? And... I Would assume y [02:58] joakimk: How are you connecting? Wireless or wired? And... I Would assume it would be considered a gateway. [02:58] hellooo, to run quake3 i have to install wine? [02:59] coleys: I'm on a wired connection [02:59] tafsen: known bug, i think [02:59] tafsen, b/c you have to tell the application to apply changes to your xorg.conf file [02:59] joakimk: OPen up a web browser? [02:59] joakimk: Does a hotel message get displayed? [02:59] legend2440: I appreciate you wanting to hel me but I am having problmes no to connect too so I just reinstall [02:59] rdw200169: then I only get a error "can't create backup file" [02:59] coleys: in Ubuntu, the "ethernet" menu (top of screen) says I'm connected to "eth0" [02:59] tafsen, i.e. 'Save to X Configuration File' [02:59] jv1: ok good luck [02:59] coleys: I've tried -- Firefox only shows the "connection error" page [02:59] tafsen, will it let you continue anyway? [02:59] tx [03:00] joakimk: Ask the desk clerk. But you should be able to tell... Can't you? [03:00] joakimk: Right now, I'm back in XP [03:00] joakimk: have you tried calling front desk to see if there is anything specific you need to do? [03:00] rdw200169: nope [03:00] tafsen, you may have to run the application as root, i.e. in the terminal type "sudo nvidia-settings" [03:00] joakimk: Are you getting any IP information at all? [03:00] usr13_: tell? how do you mean? :) [03:00] good morning [03:00] coleys: I will call them, but I thought I'd give this a try first. I'm in Seoul, so there will be a language challenge, too ;) [03:01] usr13_: How can I find the IP info? [03:01] joakimk, coleys, usr13_: call the front desk with "hey, networkmanager says i'm connected but..." and your response is not going to be helpful [03:01] joakimk: sudo ifconfig And see if your given ips and such. [03:01] joakimk: Well, look at what you have now, the connection with XP - How it was initiated, what IP information you got from the dhcp server, etc.. [03:01] coleys: no need to sudo there [03:01] raylu: hehe :) [03:01] And then try and connect with linux and see what you get. [03:01] raylu: Wah, im use to other systems that do require sudo =P my bad. [03:01] joakimk: And then try and connect with linux and see what you get. [03:01] coleys: only thing is, I then have to boot back into Ubuntu :-/ [03:01] coleys: some other systems don't have sbin in users' paths, but they still don't require sudo for ifconfig [03:02] what file is responsible for the boot selection menu on the live CD? And can it be altered to point to a USB device as a choice? [03:02] joakimk, don't worry about it, almost all Koreans speak English now, you just have to understand that the accent is really strong, and that you need to talk relatively slowly and clearly [03:02] joakimk: Boot in linux and see what happens, look at ipconfig etc.. [03:02] usr13_: Yes, but how do I find this info in XP? [03:02] raylu: Well im telling you right now, that some other sytems just display "Command not found" if you don't run as root. =P [03:02] coleys: and, like i said, that's because sbin isn't in your path but it's in root's [03:03] joakimk: In the control panel you should see network connections. Or you can go to the command line and do ipconfig -a [03:03] raylu: Anyways ,better safe then sorry =) Sudo doesn't harm. [03:03] joakimk: or is it ipconfig /all ? [03:03] rdw200169: Yes, this is my experience, too. It's more to do with the linux/network stuff :) [03:03] coleys: i beg to differ [03:03] joakimk: in XP... run--> cmd --> ipconfig\all [03:03] coleys: the better safe than sorry approach is to just run /sbin/ifconfig [03:03] coleys: ipconfig /all, iirc [03:04] eh I dont think there is a space. [03:04] there certainly is a space [03:04] usr13_: Hmm.. Can I somehow type the address (IP) of the hotel's start page? [03:04] yup ipconfig /all [03:04] joakimk: Yes, click Start > Run > cmd [03:04] certainly a space [03:04] usr13_: using this info from XP?

[03:05] usr13_: maybe I should paste this? [03:05] That will display your ip aswell as gateway/dns information. [03:05] :) [03:05] hellooo, to run quake3 i have to install wine? [03:05] joakimk: give command ipconfig /all [03:05] ^concur [03:05] usr13_;: what's the preferred bin here? [03:05] Can anyone help me reset my keychain password? I changed my administrator password but it didn't change the keychain. I also tried rm ~/.gnome2/keyrings/default.keyring which removed the default.keyring file but when i restarted my computer it tried to connect to WiFi and asked me for the same password again [03:06] joakimk: Start > Run > cmd [03:06] usr13_: no, that's fine :) I mean, where should I paste? :) [03:06] Hi guyz.. dam many people...

Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [03:13] i need help to install last revision of ACE library [03:13] usr13_: I tried reloading... I can't simply go to some IP (gateway?) in Firefox directly, to get started? [03:13] RequinB4, VM not a bad idea, this is for a user who wants to install several distros, but not burn the cds [03:14] bobzillion: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=28948 [03:14] on italian channel are all offline [03:14] legend2440, thanks. off to look [03:14] jaokimk: now XP is directly connected with ISP.. now you want to use this XP as a shared Internet server for ubuntu ? [03:14] usr13_: :) Just want most info before I reboot. [03:14] can help me to update my ACE library pls? [03:14] joakimk: You can creat a manual connection if need be. So if you need to... do something like: sudo ifconfig eth0 ; 221.142.247.166 ; sudo route add default gw 221.145.247.130 ; sudo cat >> nameserver 201.142.247.130 [03:14] Is it really bad that if I ping my wireless router 10 times with packets 10KB in size and get 100% packet loss? a regular small 60 some byte ping gets me 10% loss [03:15] bobzillion: if s/he just wants to test them out, a free virtual machine is best you can just boot the iso without a cd. Otherwise, there's no way around besdies having a comp that boots usb [03:15] BingO: Well, I've paid for net access. In Xp, Firefox gives me the hotel's start page, in Ubuntu I get nothing [03:15] I have revision 5.4.7 and whit apt-get install libace-dev dont give me the last (5.7) [03:15] Hey, anyone know of a good channel for bash help? [03:15] thedoor: plenty of people. specify your video card [03:16] joakimk: If "sudo cat >> /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 201.142.247.130" doesnt work do sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf [03:16] How to make my guitar play in Ubuntu? [03:16] im using a 8600gt nvidia card [03:16] joakimk: i see, you meant ubuntu is also seperatly connected with hotel internet connection just like XP.. did Ubuntu get auto IP address ? [03:16] i have image on two monitors... [03:16] I can record it, but I want to hear it as I play [03:16] but the aplications just open in on [03:16] BingO: Right. I'll have to reboot back into Ubuntu to check the IP. Will do shortly :) [03:17] if a open some aplication in my monitor 1 it opens in monitor 0 [03:17] joakimk: Correction: sudo ifconfig eth0 ; 221.142.247.166 ; sudo route add default gw 221.145.247.130 ; sudo cat >> /etc/resolv.conf and then type in: nameserver 201.142.247.130 [03:17] RequinB4, thanks. [03:17] joakimk: Correction: sudo ifconfig eth0 221.142.247.166 ; sudo route add default gw 221.145.247.130 ; sudo cat >> /etc/resolv.conf and then type in: nameserver 201.142.247.130 [03:17] jakimk: ok and also see what usr13_ is saying.. [03:17] joakimk: something like that... anyway. [03:17] usr13_: i bet my life savings that the hotel won't let you use a static ip [03:17] usr13: if its DHCP then no need for assigning IP [03:17] can help me? [03:18] usr13_: ...and this won't screw up my normal net connect, when I'm back home? ;) [03:18] whit ACE library? [03:18] anyone here solved ye old mighty mouse horizontal scroll reversal issue? The left and right scroll is reversed. [03:18] [04:38] virtualroadside: SUCCESS. I editited the source and changed mouse_wheel_left=7 and mouse_wheel_right=6 and it worked. not sure what it'll do to other mice, but I don't have any other mise. [03:18] jaokimk: don't worry Ubuntu will not eat internet connection with out PEPSI :) [03:18] raylu: You are probably right. The dhcp server will probably give his linux box ip info just like it does the XP box. [03:18] joakimk, usr13_: those commands are all temporary... except the last one, which doesn't work [03:18] I figured out how to get my sound working in Ubuntu [03:18] how do i install python version 2.5 in ubuntu 9.04? [03:18] legend2440, thanks a bunch. I'll throw this@my user, and see if he'll follow through [03:18] I found this is a IRC log on google... Have no clue where he changed it though [03:19] joakimk, usr13_: because you're running cat as root, but not writing to /etc/resolv.conf as root [03:19] raylu: So, what do I type if I already am assigned an IP, then? [03:19] bobzillion: ok [03:19] jacekowski: [03:19] what the. [03:19] raylu: But, the hotel will more than likely not know that he is using a static IP because that IP info has already been given to that NIC. [03:19] joakimk: no idea [03:19] usr13_: thankz... if he don't ping to google after getting IP then its mean time to put DNS [03:19] usr13_: and he has released it when he rebooted [03:19] how to hear guitar as you play? [03:20] how to hear microphone input as you speak? [03:20] unmute? [03:20] raylu: You don't know how the hotel's dhcp server is set up. It may have a lease time of one day or one week or... what ever, you / we just do not know. [03:20] Anybody know where I might get some assistance with bash scripting? === cabrey is now known as cabrey_ [03:21] haha [03:21] is there any reason to use fish instead of bash? (I've been using bash for years) [03:21] raylu: btw, if I just "su -" first, I'll write as root, too, right? === cabrey_ is now known as cabrey [03:21] !bash | Apollo2366 [03:21] Apollo2366: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [03:21] jaokimk: listen do what i say.. dudes tell me simple [03:21] I've heard fish is more "user friendly" but what exactly does that mean? [03:21] Apollo2366: channel #bash [03:21] usr13_: I've paid for 24hrs [03:21] I must admit, apart from this sound kerfuffle, Ubuntu 9.04 looks good. [03:21] joakimk: yes, but i think sudo su -c 'cat ... will serve your purposes [03:21] jaokimk: type $sudo -s [03:21] thanks legend2440 [03:21] hot to update ACE Library?? [03:22] Jaokimk: then #ifconfig [03:22] yes :) [03:22] jaokimk: what is result of #ifconfig .. pastebin to it [03:22] joakimk: Try it and see. We have probably given you enough information - you'll be able to figure it out when you reboot. [03:22] BingO: That's the problem -- if I could access the paste page, I'd be fine :) I'm in XP now [03:23] usr13_: ok, thanks! I'll give it a try [03:23] ohh ok.. [03:23] hi, I am trying to use sftp to connect to a server with a non standard port. does anyone know the syntax to do so? [03:23] joakimk: Come back and let us know. [03:23] jaokimk: no problem just chill.. now see that #ifconfig command gave same range of IP 212.. jus tlike XP ? [03:23] usr13_, raylu, BingO: thanks! [03:23] Blatz: are you using a gui to do this or some cmd app? [03:23] joakimk: We can only speculate on how the hotel has their servers set up. [03:23] jaokimk: No.. thanks.. do what i say.. i will never leave this Internet :).. [03:24] usr13_: yeah... :-/ [03:24] joakimk: What hotel chain is it? [03:24] so anyone know how to dist-upgrade from 9.04 pre-release to 9.04?? [03:24] [kavon, through console [03:24] jaokimk: its to simple issue.. 5 mins game only.. [03:24] cryxyum: #yum update [03:24] recently gnome applets are dying when the system is restarted. They run fine otherwise. What may be the problem? [03:25] Blatz: man [command] didn't tell you anything? [03:25] cryxyum: $sudo apt-get update ... sorry :P [03:25] crxyem: apt-get upgrade [03:25] crxyem: sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get upgrade. [03:25] yes.. that is correct.. clapping.. first update and then upgrade [03:25] kavon: not sure what you mean, but I'll try what I think you do. [03:25] $sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [03:25] crxyem: i.e., a Jaunty pre-release with all updates applied is theoretically the same as a jaunty final release with all updates applied. [03:26] didn't know that would still work, I was trying to use the update-notifier method [03:26] Joakimk: [03:26] Blatz: -oPort= [03:26] Blatz: yea stick ' man ' infront of any command to get the manual page, it'll have info on special parameters you can use with the program [03:26] BingO: Bingo! [03:26] hi. is there any program that I can use to see what connections are made by the programs I am running? [03:26] blatz: since i'm feeling nice i won't tell you to read the manual this time [03:26] snowy: tcpdump [03:26] Usr13_: yeZ [03:26] snowy: wireshark, tcpdump, netstat, probably others [03:26] rww: yeah but for some reason, if I cat /etc/issue it lists 8.10, and an about KDE shows KDE3.5.10 [03:27] netstat doesnt say which program made the connection [03:27] do tcpdump and wireshark? [03:27] crxyem: "cat /etc/issue" should show 9.04 for Jaunty prereleases. [03:27] cryptide: lsb_release -a [03:27] I love my little cairo-penguin orange fish [03:27] RequinB4: thanks, I did, but nothing popped out, thanks [03:28] RequinB4: I don't know why it should be different than ssh. [03:28] hi. any equivalent to dxdiag for ubuntu? [03:29] crxyem: I'd probably try the instructions in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JauntyUpgrades and see if it offers a distribution upgrade to you. [03:29] Blatz: np. as for the difference, when in doubt, blame, in order, tradition, then a witty pun [03:29] or can I run dxdiag with wine? [03:29] M4d3L: there is no directx support in ubuntu, but there's xdpyinfo and a host of other utilities. also, /var/log/Xorg.0.log [03:29] M4d3L: whawt is dxdiag? [03:29] hmmm, somethings odd then, I do have pre-releases turned on in my repos, and KDE is definetly not 3.5, as it is using the dashboard w/ widgets [03:29] RequinB4: lol thanks [03:29] I'll give it a go [03:30] snowy: netstat -p [03:30] rww: netstat doesnt say which program made the connection, do wireshark and tcpdump? [03:31] crxyem: you can also try sudo update-manager -d and see what it tells you [03:31] snowy: -ntp is more likely to be helpful [03:31] snowy: Not sure. The only time I've needed to filter by program name was when figuring out what was using all my bandwidth, and I used the "nethogs" program for that. [03:33] ah, netstat -ntp seems to be what I need :) [03:33] thanks === Carlos is now known as Guest914 [03:35] RequinB4: this didn't work "sftp datz@192.168.0.30 -oPort=23" but I guess I will look over the man pages more thoughly. [03:36] if I try to boot my laptop while not connected to a power source, I must hold the spacebar down, or the boot will hang, any ideas how to fix this? [03:36] ubuntu has same packages as debian? [03:36] i mean if ubuntu gets sources from debian packages or has its own [03:36] krabe: it's own [03:36] packages.ubuntu.com krabe (separate) [03:36] krabe: ubuntu gets some of it's sources from debian, but they're all compiled on ubuntu systems [03:37] update-manager -d, returns a dialog do you want to do a full upgrade to the new dist. release 9.04 [03:37] does anyone know about VSFTPD chmod as 755 [03:37] Blatz try putting the - second === bengl is now known as BENGL [03:37] Blatz: the command looks fine, it could be a networking issue [03:37] i have local u mask as 022 but want a 755 chmod on all uploaded files [03:37] Blatz: can you connect with ssh? [03:38] Is Ubuntu 8.04LTS (emphasis on the S there) going to get the upgrade to Pidgin 2.5.7? At this point two major IM networks can't be connected to with Pidgin 2.5.2. [03:38] crxyem: is that not what you wanted? [03:38] freedumMan: So you need to tweek your ftp server's config? [03:38] raylu: I can log in with ssh [03:38] Blatz: on port 23? [03:38] in fact, I'm using an console IRC app through ssh on that pc now. [03:38] yeah, lets see if it works [03:38] when I open a terminal with a keyboard shortcut it doesn't default to my home, but to "/" .... why is that? [03:39] usr13_, correct i've set local umask and tried changing it but it continues to use 644 [03:39] freedumMan: What ftp server are you using? [03:39] usr13_: 21:35:29 freedumMan> does anyone know about VSFTPD chmod as 755 === rajesh is now known as Guest27971 [03:39] if I try to boot my laptop while not connected to a power source, I must hold the spacebar down, or the boot will hang, any ideas how to fix this? [03:39] hey i m new to irc [03:39] raylu: Oh sorry... [03:40] will u please help me out how to login to another channel [03:40] Blatz: yes? no? [03:40] Guest27971, /join #channelname [03:40] ^concur [03:40] thank u [03:40] freedumMan: man vsftpd.conf [03:40] raylu: sorry, yes on port 23 [03:41] Blatz: try scp-ing a file. -P for scp [03:41] usr13_, dont u think i did that? [03:41] freedumMan: you'd be surprised [03:41] raylu: sorry I don't understand. [03:41] Blatz: scp -P 23 datz@192.168.0.30:.bashrc . [03:41] usr13_, im aware of the settings its not taking the local umask and i have used vsftpd before on cent with no problem but ubuntu is not making my night [03:42] man, dist-upgrade returns that I have a broken package or held back package, not sure why htis is happening [03:42] possible from running a pre-released version [03:42] freedumMan: Did you restart vsftpd [03:42] ? [03:42] yes [03:43] freedumMan: You have the line: local_umask=xxx in there? [03:43] hi [03:44] yes local_umask=022 [03:44] i am not getting connect to another channel by typing /join swecha [03:44] raylu: http://pastebin.com/m1d065cb0 [03:44] you need the pound key [03:44] Guest27971, try /j swecha [03:44] freedumMan: Well, I'm not sure why it would behave any different from one distro to another....? [03:44] I'm running Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04. How do I disable pulseaudio, completely? If I try to uninstall pulseaudio packages, it wants to remove ubuntu-netbook-remix as well. [03:44] Blatz: sorry, you need that . at the end [03:44] me neither hence im here [03:44] Blatz: actually, now that i think about it, it's not such a great idea [03:45] Blatz: scp -P 23 datz@192.168.0.30:.bashrc test === zero is now known as Guest95557 [03:45] flanders: ubuntu-netbook-remix is just a virtual package [03:45] freedumMan: Apparently something else is changing permissions on those files for you.... but dono what it would be. [03:45] flanders: on my system, i don't have ubuntu-desktop installed because i wanted to get rid of cups [03:45] if I try to boot my laptop while not connected to a power source, I must hold the spacebar down, or the boot will hang, any ideas how to fix this? [03:45] The description says that it is needed for updating my syste, raylu. [03:45] *system [03:46] quit() [03:46] Not ubuntu-desktop, raylu. ubuntu-netbook-remix package. [03:46] flanders: the only downside to removing the main virtual package is that if they think you need some new packages, they'll update the virtual package and your system won't pull them in automatically [03:46] flanders: i know, but it's the same thing [03:46] freedumMan: Or you could test and see if it happens imediately or if it happens after a reboot or what. [03:46] back.. [03:47] raylu, what do you mean? When updates are available, the virtual package will reinstall itself, along with its dependencies? [03:47] usr13_, its happening when i ftp it, i checked [03:47] flanders: no, when updates to your individual packages are available, you'll still get them, but [03:47] flanders: if new packages are added as depdencies to ubuntu-netbook-remix, you won't [03:47] FreedumMan: whats the problem .. ? [03:48] flanders: it doesn't happen often, though, and it's unlikely that they'll be anything major. you can always see what you're missing with "aptitude -s install ubuntu-netbook-remix" [03:48] Hmmmm. [03:48] raylu: Its asking for my pass, so it looks like it got through. [03:48] flanders: my main concern is that removing the pulseaudio packages doesn't actually remove pulseaudio [03:48] So what would an alternative be, raylu? [03:48] Blatz: then perhaps we are doing something wrong with sftp [03:48] freedumMan: Is the client anonymous or a local user login or...? [03:48] BingO, i would like to 755 chmod my files when a user uploads [03:48] flanders: i have no idea :P [03:48] raylu: http://pastebin.com/m1970bf0e [03:48] it's a local user [03:48] I don't have pulseaudio in my Startup programs, and I am only using ALSA for evetything, raylu. [03:48] raylu: I guess so [03:49] However, pulseaudio always runs in the background, raylu. [03:49] Blatz: btw, ctrl+d = logout [03:49] freedumMan: Files or directories ? [03:49] raylu: hehe, thanks [03:49] if I try to boot my laptop while not connected to a power source, I must hold the spacebar down, or the boot will hang, any ideas how to fix this? [03:49] Files, directories are working with right bitmask's [03:49] flanders, why do you want to remove pulseaudio? [03:50] hmm.. [03:50] freedumMan: You may need to designate in the config file, like: local_umask=022 or anon_umask=022 [03:50] Blatz: well, sftp says it's using port 22, so [03:50] Blatz: edit ~/.ssh/config === Guest95557 is now known as zero-jt [03:50] cabrey: I don't need it, plus I am trying to minimize any programs running to squeeze out every last bit of juice in my battery. [03:50] fredumMans: so its mean you want to change its default permission/umask [03:50] It's espcially needed for this MSI Wind u100 netbook. (Weaker-than-normal battery.) [03:51] flanders: you can edit the startup programs so it just doesn't boot [03:51] flanders, removing PA will create more problems than it solves imo [03:51] raylu: ah, ok I guess I did that for ssh, but not for sftp. sorry to be so stupid. :P [03:51] Blatz: no, that's not the problem [03:51] BingO, i need it to be 755 for files yes [03:51] cabrey: That is why I am wondering if I can disable it from running as a process in the first place. [03:51] Blatz: anyway, edit that file and put this in it: [03:51] Blatz: http://pastebin.com/m7c5ed698 [03:51] flanders: yes you can, just turn it off from the boot menu, I have already done this [03:51] Blatz: then, try just "ssh 192.168.0.30" without any other parameters [03:51] ok [03:52] therussianjig, PA is per-user session, it still activaates upon call [03:52] cabrey: What? [03:52] therussianjig, pulseaudio is per-user not systemwide [03:53] therussianjig: How? It is nowhere in my startup applications. [03:53] BingO, the vsftpd log file stats it's chmoding to 644 but im unsure what local_umask needs to be for 755 [03:53] ah, under my startup apps I have Pulse audio session manager [03:54] FreedumMan: in /etc/vsftpd.conf .. type this file_open_mode with 0755 [03:54] freedumMan: use 0755 not 755 [03:54] hey, i have a problem with using the intel drivers for the i810 chipset. if i use the intel driver instead of the vesa driver my monitor goes blank with the backlight off. Does anyone know what to do? [03:54] therussianjig: Which version of Ubuntu are you using? [03:54] Flanders: 9.04 [03:55] in xfce, how to icons for quick launch programs on the upper toolbar? [03:55] BingO, umm it's used to subtract permission bit masks on local umask [03:55] Same here. [03:55] KDE or GNOME? [03:55] pie-not-high: There may be newer drivers from intel, check and see. [03:55] flanders, removing/disabling PA will not give you better battery life, disabling compiz, however, will [03:55] raylu: There is no config file in that dir, only "know_hosts" [03:55] Blatz: yup. create it [03:55] excuse me. how to add icons to upper toolbar? [03:55] cabrey: Already disable compiz. [03:55] ok [03:55] flanders, i'm on a netbook with a 3 cell battery [03:55] in XFCE [03:55] Blatz: whats the problem ? [03:55] Having some trouble with nfs. Can someone take a look? sudo mount -t nfs 10.0.0.3:/media/disk /home/sam/hdd [03:55] ... I get "mount: Wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock [etc.]" [03:55] cabrey: I suppse you're right. I'll just leave pulseaudio running. [03:56] BingO, i wonder if vsftpd is not using my config file? [03:56] Ive screwed up my firefox flash video codec... What do I do to fix it.. It only shows a little black stripe of the movie [03:56] cabrey: How many hours do you get from a full charge? [03:56] flanders, ~3 - 3.5 [03:56] hirajo: why do you think you "screwed it up"? [03:56] On a 3-cell? Are you serious? [03:56] FreeduMan : how ?.. whic version r u using of Ubuntu ? [03:56] flanders, use a lightweight web browser like chromium or epiphany [03:56] raylu: restart ssh? [03:57] have you guys ever heard of an error where the filesystem will suddenly go read-only for all files? [03:57] BingO, 8.10 [03:57] BingO: I can't connect to sftp through a non standart port. [03:57] FreedumMan: your config files means ?.. you r not editing vsftpd.conf ? [03:57] cabrey: On IDLE, with wireless turned off, with laptop mode running, the MOST I can get is 2:40 to 2:50 hours, never touching the mouse or keyboard! [03:57] Before doing these tweaks, I could only get TWO hours, tops, same conditions. [03:58] BingO, im sorry im not sure what your saying your config file means... [03:58] Blatz: which port you set in SSHD_config file except 22 ? [03:58] cabrey: Which netbook do you have? [03:58] flanders, ouch... maybe because power management in the kernel is better for eee pcs? [03:58] Blatz: er, no. this is locally, not on the server [03:58] That's Asus, eh? [03:58] yup [03:58] Blatz: just run "ssh 192.168.0.30" [03:58] freedumMan: ok leav it, did you put 0755 in local_umask ? [03:58] Well, damn. [03:59] flanders, try crunchbang or even arch :/ [03:59] pie-not-high: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2009-April/045117.html [03:59] cabrey: I read a review about the MSI Wind u100, and as wonderful as it is (well-built, good specs, and full Ubuntu compatibility) it's 3-cell battery is weaker than comparable netbook 3-cell batteries. [03:59] yes no luck [03:59] cabrey: But it will be the same kernel. [04:00] flanders, you could try the array.org netbook kernel [04:00] Hi. Is the tracker indexer running by default in Ubuntu 9.04? and if so, how can I use it? I can't find any indexing options in the System menu. [04:00] suddenly my system went read only and I cant do much of anything. Have you guys heard of this before? [04:00] BingO: 23 raylu: Ok, I did it on the server, let me try on client machine [04:00] anyone have Imaging-1.1.6.tar.gz? I am trying to run a script that saves all the album covers from amarok onto my computer. i need that tar ball and effbot.org is down right now. [04:00] Blatz: doing it on the server will have no effect whatsoever [04:01] anyone? [04:01] notdarkyet: and gui-less? [04:01] FreedumMan: local_umask=0755 ? in vsftpd.conf [04:01] mazda01: python-imaging? [04:01] BingO, yea [04:01] notdarkyet: read-only? [04:01] cabrey: No MSI Wind support? [04:01] raylu: sorry, I'm tired. :P [04:01] Anyone know of a technical description of the differences between debian and ubuntu? Things like the init system and such. [04:01] raylu: no but i cannot open anything at all [04:01] It lists MSI Wind on the front page, cabrey. But not in the install or support pages. [04:01] eikenberry: debian supports like a billion architectures [04:01] notdarkyet: df [04:02] flanders, http://array.org/ubuntu/ MSI Wind is listed [04:02] mazda01: http://code.google.com/p/savory/downloads/detail?name=Imaging-1.1.6.tar.gz&can=2&q= [04:02] flanders, he doesnt have time to maintain those pages [04:02] raylu: suddenly all of the files in my user path are read only [04:02] eikenberry: and their packages in stable are a lot older than ours, in general [04:02] raylu: Ok, with no port rule it connects through ssh [04:02] fredumMan: restart vsftpd and check which permission it give to new upload file.. [04:02] flanders, just dont use the -eeepc kernel [04:02] raylu. I know. I'm a long time debian user (10+ years). [04:02] Blatz: and no user either, right? [04:02] raylu: We sync our packages from debian unstable/experimental generally. [04:02] eikenberry: oh [04:03] raylu. I know how most of the internals of debian work. I know ubuntu does some things differently (like system init). [04:03] raylu: right [04:03] notdarkyet: "user path"? [04:03] I was wondering if there was some docs on these differences. [04:03] /home/user [04:03] blatz: ssh -p 23 localhost [04:03] Use the generic netbook kernel? [04:03] flanders, yea [04:03] BingO: http://pastebin.com/m1970bf0e [04:03] notdarkyet: what does df tell you? [04:03] I cannot even open the terminal [04:03] eikenberry: Have you read this yet? http://www.ubuntu.com/community/ubuntustory/debian [04:04] raylu: ok that work-around worked. :) [04:04] notdarkyet, run an fsck [04:04] notdarkyet: Ctrl-Alt-F6 [04:04] Blatz: for sftp? [04:04] I installed server 9.04 and I guess I chose LAMP for apache, but now I decided to go with nginx. Can I just uninstall the lamp-server "unrecognized task" in aptitude and come out smelling clean? [04:04] Pici. yes. [04:04] BingO: ssh was figured out. sftp was not, but raylu helped me with a workaround [04:04] I am gonna restart, be back if I still have a problem [04:04] raylu: yes sftp works now, thanks [04:04] Pici. It is more community/philosophical than technical. [04:04] cabrey: This will not affect any off my updates? [04:04] *of [04:05] Phrogz: unrecognized task? [04:05] Blatz: np. i suggest reporting a bug [04:05] flanders, no, you will be using a non-ubuntu kernel (just derived from ubuntu) [04:05] Just a list of the big differences would suffice. I know about the different init systems. Are there any other big differences? [04:05] raylu: ok, I'll look into it. It would be with sftp, correct? [04:06] Blatz: probably... i don't think it has its own package/bug tracker [04:06] Roger. Thanks for all of your help, cabrey. I'm going to give this a shot. [04:06] raylu - aptitude shows me 395 installed packages, 26444 not installed, 2604 "virtual packages", and 13044 "tasks", which are all in a subcategory "unrecognized tasks" [04:06] Phrogz: oh, you're actually using the aptitude ncurses interface? [04:06] It can't hurt, since if anything goes wrong, I'll just format and start from new. (I only have some documents and PDFs saved on here. Nothing else. A backup to USB stick will do fine.) [04:07] raylu - yeah [04:07] raylu: humm, ok [04:07] Thanks a ton, cabrey, and everyone else that helped. [04:07] flanders, you dont even need to do that, just choose the normal kernel instead at bootup [04:07] blatz: sftp -Port=23 datz@192.168.0.30 [04:07] Oh. [04:07] blatz: sftp -oPort=23 datz@192.168.0.30 [04:07] I always wondered how that worked. [04:08] When you boot up with a different kernel, nothing changes, aside from the kernel you're using? You don't get reverted back to older software or packages? [04:08] Phrogz: i'd suggest aptitude -s purge lamp-server [04:09] BingO I had tried "sftp datz@192.168.0.30 -oPort=23" that didn't work [04:09] raylu - thanks, I'll check that out. [04:09] flanders, nothing changes except the currently running kernel [04:09] flanders: just the kernel [04:09] '~$ ekiga -d 4 > ~/tmp/ekiga.log20090629' obtained a log of 0 bytes length because I terminated this command using the 'Ctrl+C' command. How to end it properly for a meaningful log contents? [04:09] And what about security updates? Aren't they kernel-dependent? [04:09] flanders: some of the packages are modules that depend on the kernel, so which ones get loaded change. but the rest of your software, no [04:10] flanders, not necessarily [04:10] Alright. [04:10] Well, thanks again guys. Going to give this a try. [04:10] I am holding all of you liable! I will sue for any and all damages done by this! [04:10] I'll see you in court! [04:10] ok [04:10] lol [04:11] raylu - Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "lamp-server"; and then it only says it will get rid of python-pkg-resources{u} python-setuptools{u} [04:11] But seriously, thanks. This is something I've been searching for, espcially for my new netbook. [04:11] Take care, all. [04:11] hmm.. [04:12] Blatz.. wat about SCP .. did you check that ? hmm if SSH was working that SCP should work well [04:12] Phrogz: i don't really understand tasks, but tasksel may help you. i always install my software with just aptitude, so i don't really understand what installing a lamp-server did [04:12] BingO: it did [04:12] raylu - alright, thanks for the help [04:12] ha [04:13] Phrogz: sudo tasksel install lamp-server === TheQ_ is now known as TheQ [04:13] raylu - tasksel ftw, thanks.

Everything else seems to be in order, except for the volume control hotkeys. Pressing once seems to get them stuck, ie. firing off continuously. In addition, this makes me unable to click anything on the gui itself, including the start-menu. However, the buttons work on launched programs such as Pidgin or Mo [05:03] haha parker actually believed what i said. [05:03] jaypro: also, filezilla for windows [05:03] jaypro: and psftp/pscp [05:03] !volume [05:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about volume [05:04] err [05:04] !volume [05:04] oh wow! okay cool... thanks everyone [05:04] !hotkeys | Mitsunari [05:04] Mitsunari: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts.

Firefox spell checker is the issue. Upon a misspelled word, If the right click KEY is pressed FF does not suggest a word. If the MOUSE is Right Clicked on the word, it suggests a word.

I've restarted my computer twice since then. [05:18] SirMoo: then apt-get wouldn't be running [05:18] SirMoo: or, at least, the apt-get that you ran two restarts ago wouldn't [05:18] Yes, but now I can't install anything.

[05:23] This is the most modern version of Kubuntu. [05:24] ??? [05:24] cirabisi: wait, what does being on wubi have to do with this? if you haven't yet downloaded an iso, i suggest getting yourself a copy of unetbootin and proceeding from there [05:24] cirabisi, you need either an .iso or a livecd [05:24] ok.

[05:57] WIGGMPk, its like fixing a bug for anything .... they figure in how many people this will effect ... the severity of the bug etc [05:57] !finger [05:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about finger [05:57] WIGGMPk: Probably pretty short [05:57] myxo: If you want it encrypted [05:58] Daskreech: excellent. thank you. now, is there anyway i can force this system to ignore its current kernel and use one of the ones in the past??? [05:58] Daskreech: ls /dev/sd* [05:58] myxo: unless you require extra security, you don't need to [05:58] daskreech i dont think it matters either way. i chose not to do it to avoid complications in the future [05:58] istarnes alrighty [05:58] istarnes thats what i thought, i didnt do it [05:58] sasori2501: Press esc at the startup when it says press esc Then choose one of the old ones [05:58] AceBlade159: What does that show ? [05:58] myxo: I usually encrypt sensitive documents individually with gpg [05:59] I'm on a GMA950 with a max canvas size of 2048x2028 (for acceleration)...and I have my two monitors positioned "top-of" each other (in xrandr, they are side by side physically). I want to make them appear to X stacked on top but be able to use them as if they were positioned side by side in xrandr (isntead of having to have the mouse go off the top of the screen to switch) [05:59] do you get an output for that command? [05:59] Daskreech: http://pastebin.com/m4fefad22 [05:59] i'm putting Ubuntu on my brothers PC, who is going to afghanistan for quiet a while, any essential programs you guys would recommend for someone who rarely if ever has the internet? [05:59] Daskreech: /dev/sda [05:59] R_YoYo_R: meanwhile how to a burn a CD/DVD ??? what workaround could I use? because honestly.. not being able to burn a CD/DVD is a pretty big freakin deal.. and should be trivial to fix.. this is frustrating.. I either roll back my entire OS to a previous release or not burn anything.. === mobi-she1p is now known as test-sheep [05:59] AceBlade159: That's it? [06:00] yes, it's yellow with a black highlight [06:00] myxo: How can he carry the PC? Laptop? [06:01] Daskreech: hmm. sorry im not exactly sure what your referring too... o wait... maybe i think i know, ok, let me try that out, brb, thank you! [06:01] R_YoYo_R: is there a way to expedite or bring the bug to someone's attention.. cause it just looks like its sitting there? [06:01] Spherous: this is Wubi ? [06:01] WIGGMPk, i apologize i didnt see your original problem. What is it? There is ALWAYS a fix for stuff like thatr [06:01] listen to me.. I sound like I want commercial tech support lmfao [06:02] Daskreech: Hmm? Wubi? [06:02] AceBlade159: Then yep it's not reading the hard drives :) [06:02] !anaconda | sdeb [06:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about anaconda [06:02] R_YoYo_R: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dvd+rw-tools/+bug/307477 take a look at your leisure [06:02] k [06:02] Spherous: why is it that you are mounting the windows partition? [06:02] !upstream [06:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about upstream [06:02] test-sheep laptop yes. he likes to do a lot of photo editting, takes a lot of RAW piictures [06:03] Daskreech: its my primary partition [06:03] Daskreech: any idea's on how to make it see them [06:03] !debian-installer [06:03] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:03] R_YoYo_R: btw.. I would be more inclined to believe its not only the dvd+rw-tools package, but the kernel drivers for the drive itself [06:03] AceBlade159: Do you get any errors when you are booting up? [06:03] !cloak [06:03] Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as TOR due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks [06:03] Spherous: You don't have a / partition ? [06:04] WIGGMPk, i agree [06:04] !ubottu [06:04] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [06:04] sdeb, open a dialog with ubottu if you want to test out commands, not here please [06:04] WIGGMPk, this is a bug between distros as well. ... [06:04] 4 total, 2 for each drive, i cant remember what they said, but i do remember it was errorno -5 [06:04] Daskreech: I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean by a / partition... I haven't used ubuntu for a while, and I am kinda rusty [06:04] Anyone wants to help fix a X issue? [06:04] unitheory: iam very sorry , and thank u [06:04] myxo: F-Spot, Inkscape, Bunch of photos, PDFs of books to read on laptop. I don't know if he'll have time to commit to learn how to use fspot, inkscape, etc, but he probably would read books or something relaxing. [06:04] R_YoYo_R: its been chillin in launchpad for 6+ months though.. which is irritating [06:05] R_YoYo_R: no CD/DVD burning is like saying.. "Hey, we launched a brand spankin new OS today.. It's awesome... But oh, btw.. .You cant use USB ports.. Yeah... Sorry...." [06:05] http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showpost.php?p=19793&postcount=4 How can I get that running - it works from terminal but not in pidgin itself. Tried setting it as senicon.sh /usr/local/bin/senicon.sh et al. same effect - nothing. [06:05] Spherous: Try mounting /dev/sda3 where you are mounting /dev/sda2 [06:06] What is the best equivalent for adobe flash 10 in ubuntu? :o [06:06] gnash or adobe flash? [06:06] Panoramix: Adobe Flash 10? [06:06] Panoramix: Adobe Flash? [06:06] Panoramix, adobe flash 10 [06:06] test-sheep alritey. are there any commands i need to run on a fresh ubuntu installation? the computer I'm currently using is the first install i've ever done, his will be my second. [06:07] "What? Omg. *nix can run Adobe Flash? O rly? Yes rly!" [06:07] u know... Program for creating swf :) [06:07] Anyone wants to help unbork an nvidia attack? [06:07] Panoramix: Ah That's different. Probably the same answer though [06:07] ha.... unbork [06:08] Daskreech: Same error [06:08] myxo: Updated + Upgrade already? [06:08] Spherous: is there a stage1 in that directory ? [06:08] So, is there any adobe flash ubuntu? [06:08] Daskreech: what do you mean "unbork an nvidia attack: ? [06:08] Daskreech: Not that I can see [06:09] I'm on a GMA950 with a max canvas size of 2048x2028 (for acceleration)...and I have my two monitors (on a laptop, one is the built in screen one is VGA) positioned "top-of" each other (in xrandr, they are side by side physically). I want to make them appear to X stacked on top (to fit in the max canvas size for compiz) but be able to use them as if they were positioned side by side in xrandr (isntead of having to have the mouse go off the top of the screen t [06:09] o switch) [06:09] AceBlade159: nvidia drivers are stopping X from starting. I want help it undo that and get the drivers working [06:09] AceBlade159: use your imagination.. Daskreech: did you try running the nvidia updater for xorg.. I think its nvidia-xconfig? [06:10] any recommendations for software to monitor my memory usage over a period of time on a ubuntu server? [06:10] Spherous: In /boot/grub I have a file named stage1. You don't? [06:10] Panoramix: You're talking about running Flash? [06:10] Daskreech: you should prolly post your xorg.conf in pastebin [06:10] mobi-sheep: No making flash movies [06:10] Daskreech: odd, when i had an install back when i had a working ide drive i had no problm with x starting (i'm on a gts 8800) [06:11] Daskreech: It can't access /boot/grub, says theres no such file or directory [06:11] Oh I didn't either until I installed the nvidia drivers [06:11] Spherous: Where did you mount /dev/sda3 ? [06:11] Running flash and creating flash [06:11] Daskreech: /media/root [06:11] Daskreech: Just like you said [06:11] Panoramix: most likely run Adobe Flash 10 under wine [06:12] Panoramix: You know ActionScript? [06:12] Spherous: then you mounted /dev/sda1 as /media/root/boot ? [06:12] Isnt it too heavy? [06:12] Daskreech: Correct [06:12] Panoramix: Yes but it's a windows program what do you expect? [06:13] I am starting to learn it [06:13] Spherous: and under /media/root/boot/grub is there a stage1 ? [06:13] Daskreech: Yes, there is one there [06:13] :( [06:14] Spherous: and stage2? [06:14] Daskreech: Correct [06:14] graaahhhh, darnit, why is everything always super difficult? ubuntu livedisc wouldnt work on my brohters pc.... so i ran the altdisc.... worked.... now after the ubuntu splash (pre-OS) does its little loading thing, the screen just remains blackkk...... sigh === test-sheep is now known as leaf-sheep [06:14] Daskreech: Should I try sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/root/boot /dev/sda instead of having the root-directory being /media/root [06:14] WIGGMPk: http://pastebin.com/ff9a6c00 [06:15] myxo: Did you enable the hardware drivers and that happened right away? [06:15] Ermmm [06:15] what does virtual rack mean? [06:15] <_Tristan> when I run top what does "Cpu(s): 10.5% us, 3.4% sy, 0.0% ni, 84.9% id, 1.3% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.0% si" mean? [06:15] I think that wouldn't work but can't hurt to try [06:15] mobi-sheep i haven't gotten the chance to boot into the OS yet [06:15] hi i just upgraded to xp from vista lol i have 2 hdd's and when i installed xp it wiped out the grub i got the grub boot list to work again but it still shows vista on the list and i cant get it to show xp so i cant boot into windows anyone got any ideas [06:15] Daskreech: did you just recently run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" cause your not even using the nvidia driver [06:15] myxo: you tried safe graphics mode ? [06:15] daskreech how do i go into that mode? [06:16] Daskreech: Nah, didn't work. Tried to add an extra /boot. so it was like /boot/boot lol [06:16] _Tristan: read the manual for top [06:16] myxo: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-how-to-reconfigure-x-windows-system-xorg-server/ [06:16] WIGGMPk: Crap yea but it's still not booting :( [06:16] <_Tristan> Daskreech: ...thats a goddamn brilliant idea >.< [06:16] myxo: Second option --> sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [06:16] i've lost sound. can anyone help? [06:16] hi i just upgraded to xp from vista lol i have 2 hdd's and when i installed xp it wiped out the grub i got the grub boot list to work again but it still shows vista on the list and i cant get it to show xp so i cant boot into windows anyone got any ideas [06:16] Daskreech: what did you do or change before it stopped? like upgrade the kernel, reinstall the modules etc? [06:17] all i need is audio ;( [06:17] WIGGMPk: X still is on a start loop starts fails starts again 30 seconds later fails etc [06:17] usually rebooting fixes is, 'cause it's some app 'hogging' the sound card, but i've rebooted twice now, and still no sound [06:17] *it [06:17] johnnyblazen: point the chainloader to XP [06:17] mobi-sheep i don't understand how i'm supposed to do this on a black screen? ctrl+alt+f2? [06:17] WIGGMPk: Ran sudo nvidia-config [06:18] I have an OLD ATi rage pro AGP vide card, I need drivers for it, even 2D is slow to the point that dragging a small window like xchat drops frames, how do I fix the driver in ubuntu 8.04? [06:18] !sound | badboy_ [06:18] badboy_: 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 [06:18] Daskreech: did you try "sudo nvidia-xconfig" [06:18] myxo: CTRL + ALT + [F1-F6] -- Try that. Pick any one of those FX. [06:18] WIGGMPk: Yeah tha's what stopped X working [06:18] i've also tried playing with everything in the Sound Prefs, but still no sound [06:18] (I presume) [06:19] Daskreech: note the X in "nvidia-xconfig" [06:19] mobi-sheep and if it remains black and unresponsive? [06:19] WIGGMPk: Ah umm >_> [06:19] no [06:19] myxo: Are you online on same machine we're to configure on? [06:19] anyone know of an app to manage favorite TV channel streams? I am not looking for a frontend for a MC, but rather just an app to consolidate favorite streams. [06:19] mobi-sheep no, using two laptops, i'm on mine [06:19] hi [06:19] brb im gonna reboot and give it a try [06:19] myxo: Okay. It won't be unresponsive either way. It's a command. [06:20] mobi-sheep this is an ASUS, had no problems like this, toshiba satellite isn't so easy [06:20] Hoss: Boxee / XBMC? >_> [06:20] WIGGMPk: nope failed to load modules type1 freetype nvidia [06:20] myxo : try to press 'esc' in grub and [e]dit the kernel line, remove quiet and splash, press enter and then b to boot with the new line, nothing is saved.. just to see what errors there are [06:20] !tv | Hoss [06:20] Hoss: http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), Kaffeine, kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Me-TV (GNOME), Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out [06:20] Hoss: Not quite same thing. [06:21] WIGGMPk: that's all kernel stuff so I might need to reboot [06:21] wapko ok [06:21] mobi-sheep: These seem more like media center solutions. Wouldnt either Boxee or XBMC be a bit more than what I need? [06:22] Daskreech: restarting the x server should be the same.. as long as the module is already compiled and running... try "lsmod | grep nvidia" if its not there.. sudo modprobe nvidia [06:22] Alright, ubuntu is all configured how I want it, virtualbox is on, now what else can I do for fun... :P [06:22] was there a recent update that affects sound? [06:22] i don't have sound anymore [06:22] tanath: for which version of ubuntu? [06:22] 9.04 [06:22] dethray: fix this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dvd+rw-tools/+bug/307477 [06:22] Hoss: You could always use a regular web browser and use Hulu. [06:22] dethray: Try getting a Zune to work in VB. That will keep your gears spinning for a while. [06:23] need driver for Ati rage pro in 8.04 [06:23] lstarnes, i've tried all kinds of things, but still no sound >.< [06:23] wapko i don't see splash but i got rid of quiet [06:23] Hehe [06:23] WIGGMPk: fatal error nvidia not found [06:23] no luck [06:23] Send me a zune, I will get right on it... :P [06:23] mobi-sheep: Yeah, thing is I want access through a centeral app not only to Fox. [06:23] Daskreech: figures.. you running jaunty?? i assume your using the 180 revision of the nvidia module? [06:23] dethray: lol, I am installing VMware against my wishes to get mine to work. [06:23] Gh057hun73r: That's should be supported by the radeon driver [06:24] lstarnes, in case you missed it: ubuntu 9.04 [06:24] Daskreech: Do you think this whole "Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary." message is causing the problem? [06:24] no the 96 I was using 173 but that seemed to stop X workin ala nvidia-config [06:24] wapko after the splash screen it just remains black. [06:24] Spherous: That's quite worrying to me but I don't know enough to be vocally worried [06:25] I dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but it didnt even ask me what driver to use, just wanted me to configure my KB.. how do I get ALL the options back? [06:25] WIGGMPk: ^^^^ [06:25] mobi-sheep it must not even be booting, because none of the f1-f6 did anything, just sat black. [06:25] Daskreech: alright.. gimme a second.. you need to remove the package and reinstall it.. happened to me.. I think its a DKMS problem [06:25] myxo: Ah you got a splash thats good [06:25] hello [06:25] daskreech yea, thats all i get though [06:25] WIGGMPk: So go ahead and purge 96 ? [06:25] mobi-sheep: You cant think of a light weight streaming manager app that I could try out? Again, I wont be streaming this feed to any other machines, it will all be viewed locally. [06:26] Daskreech: 1 sec.. Ill get the package names for you [06:26] Daskreech: Do you think there is anyway for me to back up whats on my windows partition to my linux partition via the live cd, then grab the info I want after a reformat of my windows partition from my linux partition and repartitioning my drives to wipe linux off and give windows all 350GBs? [06:26] Hoss: You're talking about web-based streaming or video streaming? [06:26] I got a simple question... I down loaded java... how do I install it? I using the latest Ubutu. Brand new to linux [06:26] hweb-based [06:26] mobi-sheep: Web-based [06:26] can anyone give me some advice i need to know how to change the grub boot loader list how do i do this [06:26] myxo, k. i was hoping to get rid of the splash to see whats wrong with it. now im all out. [06:26] !java | TheNewGuy [06:26] TheNewGuy: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [06:27] WIGGMPk: just purged dkms as well [06:27] !java | TheNewGuy [06:27] wapko there are 4 lines to choose. one begins with uuid, other with kernel, other with initrd, and last with quiet [06:27] TheNewGuy, there are java packages in the official repository. you can install java from the repos via Synaptic package manager: System > Admin > Synaptic [06:27] jonnyblazen /boot/grub/menu.lst [06:27] Hoss: Well, VLC have this thing where you can stream the video you have. But if you're talking about watching TV shows from Internet. I'd say Hulu or something relatively close. Also, use a different (light) browser. [06:27] can anyone give me some advice i need to know how to change the grub boot loader list how do i do this [06:27] wapko got rid of quiet, the others didnt seem like they'd be a splash [06:27] myxo. its supposed to be the kernel line [06:27] johnnyblazen, change order? [06:27] mobi-sheep: Lighter than firefox? [06:27] !ask | jonnyblazen [06:27] jonnyblazen: 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. :-) [06:27] can anyone help me get sound back? [06:28] johnnyblazen: edit the menu.lst file [06:28] !sound | tanath [06:28] tanath: 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 [06:28] something (a recent update maybe) eliminated sound on my system [06:28] Hoss: Yup. Using it solely for web streaming. A clean interface too. [06:28] Daskreech: "sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-glx-96 nvidia-common nvidia-96-kernel-source nvidia-96-modaliases nvidia-96-libvdpau" you shouldnt need to purge DKMS.. but oh well.. not sure if there is a nvidia-96-libvdpau package but its worth a shot [06:28] wapko ahhh, i got it this time [06:28] mobi-sheep: Have you had a chance to mess with Boxee? [06:29] myxo. great. now u should be able to see where it borks [06:29] WIGGMPk: done [06:29] Hoss: No. We spoke about this last night, didn't we? [06:29] anyone know how to install java ? i down loaded it from java.com. [06:29] I have it in my down load list [06:29] Daskreech: and just install them again.. should take care of it.. let me know (restarting would be best and I think required) [06:29] TheNewGuy, !java [06:29] but I have no idea what to do with it. [06:29] TheNewGuy: look at what ubottu just said to you [06:29] wapko i thought you might say that, but all it did was spam spam spam spam and now its black lol, no errors [06:29] Daskreech: ah wait [06:29] wapko i'm confused [06:29] !java [06:29] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [06:30] Daskreech: you should prolly get rid of nvidia-settings too (although it might of went with everything else) [06:30] Does anyone think there is anyway for me to back up whats on my windows partition to my linux partition via the live cd, then grab the info I want after a reformat of my windows partition from my linux partition and repartitioning my drives to wipe linux off and give windows all 350GBs? [06:30] I did... I am brand new with this... I don't even know what it is saying... sedo??? [06:30] TheNewGuy: sudo [06:30] Spherous, explain it better... your explanation confuses me [06:31] mobi-sheep: I thought I spoke with someone named nimja or something. Dont recall. I love what I have seen from Boxee, but it just seems provides more than what I need for a desktop machine. [06:31] Spherous, why not just partition windows too have all 350? [06:31] ok, sudo, what is that? do I need it to install java? [06:31] Hoss: What is it exactly you're looking for? Surfing Hulu on Firefox isn't satisfactory? [06:31] R_YoYo_R: I can't seem to reinstall grub, and I need to save info from my windows partition before I reformat, plus I need info off of my linux partition after the reformat [06:31] thats awesome TheNewGuy [06:31] Spherous, i dont get the whole transfer to linux part deal [06:32] Spherous, re-installing grub is tit .. why cant you reinstall? [06:32] TheNewGuy: yeah essentially. it changes your permissions to allow you to interfere with the system. In this case by installing Java [06:32] myxo. are you able to ctrl+alt+f1 while it shows the splash or scrolling text [06:32] Can anyone tell me how do i convert a .flv file to .3gp ? [06:32] R_YoYo_R: I keep getting an error saying it can't read stage1 correctly. Daskreech was helping me, but couldn't figure it out [06:32] wapko i can restart by forcing power off then try during scrolling text [06:33] overlord: mencoder I'd bet [06:33] Daskreech: thanks [06:33] Spherous: which page were you following? [06:33] Dask is there a linux primer on the net... one designed for beginners? [06:33] myxo. maybe try the recovery mode and see if you can get in the system [06:33] Daskreech: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub [06:33] Spherous, you have to boot the live cd and reinstall it from there [06:34] TheNewGuy: :-) Quite a lot but lets walk you through this. Go into your settings menu and look for synaptic [06:34] R_YoYo_R: I am booted into the live cd, if I was on my linux partition, I wouldn't have a problem, lol [06:34] myxo: Download ERD commander might be able to help you recover files. Shot in the dark. [06:34] **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** [06:34] card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: ALC660-VD Analog [ALC660-VD Analog] [06:34] Subdevices: 1/1 [06:34] Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 [06:34] card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 6: Si3054 Modem [Si3054 Modem] [06:34] badboy_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[06:35] hoss whats erd commander? [06:35] R_YoYo_R: I said it o.o [06:35] ok, thanks. Whwere is the settings menu? I check the system and applications [06:35] myxo: google it, its a pretty powerful recovery cd. [06:35] Spherous: Does your /media/root/boot look like the one on that page? [06:36] Daskreech: No sir [06:36] hoss well. i'm pretty sure its a hardware issue considering this install is less than 5 minutes old =( havent ever successfully booted into it [06:36] Spherous: what's differnt? [06:36] mobi-sheep: Yeah, Hulu is nice. I just loved the demo that I seen on Boxee about all the channels ready at the fingertip. I though maybe there was a light-weight app out there that could manage channels like that without all the other bells and whistles Boxee has to offer. [06:36] heh just did my own custom ldxe ubuntu install [06:36] :) [06:36] 1gb of disk space used [06:36] Dask, you mean the synaptic manager?

[06:40] Daskreech: I ran sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/root /dev/sda with nothing mounted in /media/root/boot and it worked o.o They should fix that in the guide [06:40] Spherous: err, [06:40] wat's the output of ls /media/root/boot ? [06:41] is there something there? [06:41] WIGGMPk: Ping [06:41] Daskreech: work?

[06:46] hi, i've got a question about how anna works in the install process, is there a channel that handles this sort of thing [06:46] myxo, have you tried the recovery option in grub ? [06:46] TheNewGuy: Multiverse is one of the 4 [06:46] myxo: else i have no clue [06:46] WIGGMPk: should I try 173 again ? [06:46] is there a primer that gives the basics all at once instead of bits and pieces of it... [06:46] Daskreech: personally 180 is the newest [06:46] Daskreech: so thats what I would use [06:46] wapko yea, tried to use recovery, same junk, lol anyway maybe 9.10 will work, til then he can hold off and use xp black [06:47] TheNewGuy: trust me you don't want to know it all. :-) [06:47] wapko pirated windows rewritten ftw. [06:47] WIGGMPk: Doesn't support my card [06:47] myxo: See my pm [06:47] TheNewGuy: want a quick explanation? [06:47] Daskreech: ouch.. then yes.. try 173, whatever the newest is for you [06:47] spherous o, i almost missed it [06:47] WIGGMPk: ok [06:47] spherous is it minimal? [06:47] !ubuntu-guide | TheNewGuy [06:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu-guide [06:47] I have heard so much about Linux being great. I can't believe this is the real world Linux experience. [06:47] HIII [06:48] Yes I would love a quick explination [06:48] Daskreech: Can you tell me how do I convert .flv to .3gp using mencoder ? [06:48] i have two linux systems setup, how come transferring a particular file from one to another results in 11MB/s but transferring the same file in the other direction results in 3MB/s? [06:48] TheNewGuy: Ok Ubuntu is run by a company called Canonical They offer support for Ubuntu you can pay for [06:49] They have a policy of preferring opensource software [06:49] TheNewGuy, buy books from amazon [06:49] there are plenty of those [06:49] TheNewGuy: So they have two types of software supported and open source [06:49] TheNewGuy: this is unofficial but worth the read http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Jaunty [06:49] TheNewGuy: Which means they have 4 repositories. or what we call repos [06:50] TheNewGuy: Main is supported and open source. Restricted is supported and not open source (things like drivers to make hardware work) [06:50] ok [06:50] TheNewGuy: There are two others universe which is not supported and open source and multiverse which is not supported and not open source [06:51] anyone had problems with amarok deleting files ?? i know this ubuntu channel was just woundering [06:51] ok [06:51] ok [06:51] TheNewGuy: Or rather not Free software. You can be open source and not free [06:51] ok [06:51] I have the file. down loaded it from java.com [06:51] So java since it restricts your freedom is in Multiverse [06:51] TheNewGuy: what kind of file is it?

I need the 6.4 [07:09] TheNewGuy: oh? and those are not available? [07:09] Daskreech: did it work? what TheNewGuy trying to install?? [07:09] WIGGMPk: java. Needs the one from Java.com it seems [07:10] TheNewGuy: ok cool open a terminal and cd to where you have the .bin file [07:10] ok, I was looking under java, when I searched sun the 6.0 versions came up.

[07:10] chrissy_: ask the question [07:10] and yes I need the one from java.com. which is the one I down loaded. I have the file. how do I install it. [07:11] Hey there! [07:11] i just installed email on xubuntu and it ask me for a [07:11] ok, [07:11] password were do i get that [07:11] TheNewGuy: do what I said above with terminal then type sudo sh NAME_OF_JAVA.bin [07:12] your password that you set on install [07:12] well i put that in and it woul noy [07:12] I down loaded the file. it is in my down load list. how do I find the path? [07:12] login it said password fail [07:13] is there a file manager in linux? [07:13] TheNewGuy: still dont get it.. why do you need the one from java?

[07:16] WIGGMPk: Wait hold on I get a message I need to run a dkms build for kernel 2.6.28-11-server [07:16] TheNewGuy: What did you use to download it?

[07:17] ok, what is the path? you want me to change to that directory... is there a file manager that will give me the path? [07:17] Hi. [07:17] yes I used fire fox [07:18] I need some help setting up a debug verison of Firefox. [07:18] TheNewGuy: try "cd ~/Desktop" in the terminal [07:18] I finally have a repro for locking up my system. [07:18] after evey apt-get install iam getting the following error http://dpaste.com/hold/61032/ How to resolve this? [07:18] TheNewGuy: and then "ls" to list the contents of that directory.. if you saved it to the desktop.. then it should show up there [07:18] is there a way to kinda wipe ubunutu clean, but keep the packages a downloaded already? so its like a new system, but can go back and install the stuff i know i need? [07:19] WIGGMPk: I saw it do the dkms on reboot [07:19] i'm still learning and i'm sure i messed up along the way, shit's getting slower [07:19] Then I saw it fail [07:19] Daskreech: ouch..

Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [07:19] mike1312: did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras? if not then in terminal type sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [07:19] nothing is coming up on the list [07:19] e[X]sodus: do you have free space on your system you can make into a partition? [07:19] TheNewGuy: Open nautilus and look for it [07:20] TheNewGuy: what is the URL to the file you are trying to install.. and it would help if you could tell me why EXACTLY you need the version from java's website? [07:20] yeah, i have an untouched 750gb hdd installed [07:20] or a DVD burner? [07:20] both [07:20] You could put the packages on a partition. [07:20] or a DVD drive. [07:20] Then you have them after the fresh install and just point the installer software to it. [07:20] WIGGMPK: Ok I the problem was that the sound system stopped working altogether after a failed attempt to switch from ALSA to OSS. But, apparently that solution didn't work. The problem is fixed now, but I believe adding that file, instead of fixing my problem, made another problem, which is that my internal and external sound speakers both work together, which is not good. [07:20] how do i do that? [07:20] I am running a web based trading applications. Charting and real time updates of FX cross rates. [07:21] I ve got a only part of extras installed and there was a conflict [07:21] do what? point the install to the archive location? [07:21] where are the pckages? [07:21] WIGGMPk: Btw, this is a Laptop. [07:21] i dont even know where software installs to in this lol [07:21] Oh... did you not save the *.deb packages? [07:22] TheNewGuy: and the sun-jav6 from the repos will not do what you need? what is the URL to the file you downloaded?? [07:22] dude, i'm brand new [07:22] lol [07:22] Omar87: did you edit a file or create a new file? [07:22] where is the program nautilus? not listed under system or applications.

[07:23] TheNewGuy: It's under places [07:23] e[X]sodus: ah, sorry, I misunderstood that you had the *.deb packages archieved. [07:23] thanks [07:23] TheNewGuy: Just click anythign in places and it will open [07:23] the* machine [07:23] TheNewGuy: did you change the file name when you downloaded it? [07:23] TheNewGuy: It's either in your home directory in documents or the desktop [07:24] Omar87: its pretty hard to determine where you would add it based on the info you gave me.. if you knew the file name it would be easier [07:24] e[X]odus: look in /var/caches/apt/archves/* [07:24] And e[X]odus, do you know what a *.cab file is under Windows? [07:25] ok, found it. :-) [07:25] TheNewGuy: not to sound rude.. but if your running a web based trading application.. that im sure involves some kind of financial commitment.. then why are you using an OS your not familiar with to run the application? [07:25] yes i know what a .cab is [07:25] WIGGMPk: Excitement? [07:25] WIGGMPk: And I'm not sure how you conclude it's a financial commitement :) [07:25] TheNewGuy: now wherever it is.. you need to open the terminal and type.. "cd ~/path/to/the/bin/file" [07:25] e[X]sodus: a *.deb serves a similar function. [07:26] better security. and I'm trying to learn linux... I thought ubutu would be easy enough. but everyone talks in code. [07:26] For non-debian Linux such as Fedora or SuSE, *.rpm is the package extention. [07:26] TheNewGuy: Yeah that's how computers are my Mom complains about the same with people who use Windows [07:26] TheNewGuy: talks in code? the modern OS (IE: Windows) has stupified people and we have become lazy.. [07:26] I used to design software. and program a little. did not know I needed to be a pro [07:27] I agree with that wigg [07:27] TheNewGuy: Yah don't :) But you started off by going to a website to download something WE are just playing along [07:27] windoze? [07:27] TheNewGuy: you dont.. but you have to expect a learning curve.. you dont jump from a Windows PC and then just expect to know everything.. it takes time and patience.. [07:27] WIGGMPk, Windows has trained us for Windows, which isn't dumber or smarter, just clickable. Also happens to be a great way to ensure vendor lock-in [07:27] ok, guys.. I get it. a learning curve. [07:27] how do I install the bin file. :-) [07:27] can you use sbackup and srestore between an 8.04 box and a 9.04 box? [07:28] BTW, if I sudden disapear, I am fighting a system freeze issue :) [07:28] TheNewGuy: Umm I guess you want a GUI way? [07:28] What is a good irc chanel for Devs? [07:28] don't care [07:28] qe2eqe: I could argue this all day.. Ubuntu is very "clickable".. but I like to control my OS and hardware [07:28] I started on CPM a very long time ago. [07:28] heya, I need a uPnP client application. Coz I want to play from my uPnP server to my ubuntu-ps3. Any suggestions :D [07:28] TheNewGuy: Right click it -> properties -> make it executable -> click it -> run in terminal [07:28] comand lines work fine. [07:28] hey new guy let me give you my number one tip that made things much easier.......when using the terminal for anything TAB will auto complete things for ya.... great for error checking and long filenames [07:28] I saw someone say they were losing Faith in Ubuntu... [07:28] TheNewGuy: after you navigate to the folder its saved in (in the terminal of course) run this "sudo sh jre-6u14-linux-i586.bin" [07:28] I like Ubuntu, i've tried 3 others in the past and were way over my head [07:29] TheNewGuy: should prompt you for a password, and just put yours in [07:29] Ubuntu (and Linux) unlike Windows is not about faith if MS will fix it, but about knowledge and the ability to fix it. [07:29] WIGGMPk, Same abstract skills that make you a windows guru make you a linux guru. You spot unique and pertinent strings in error messages and outputs and google them for clues. And I'd argue that windows software suites allow for easier and more competent controll of more parts than linux... [07:29] I accidentally the whole ubuntu. [07:29] qe2eqe: Eh? [07:29] WIGGMPk, because people make the 80/20 decision when writing drivers, unftly, linux is in the 20 [07:30] Ever gotten a driver disk with .rpms? [07:30] ge2eqe: I come from a time before Google... I can tell you that is not the case among the talented. [07:30] ok... trying it. [07:30] qe2eqe: Yes actaully [07:30] linux has come such a long way in the last 5-6 years [07:30] e[X]sodus: I agree it is much more accessible... and that is good :) [07:30] * e[X]sodus remembers the google beta lol [07:31] qe2eqe: your getting out of the scope here.. drivers rely on the manufactor and are influenced by market control and the presence (and time frame) on the scene.. Linux.. written in 1994.. lots of catching up to do.. but enough of this.. its better suited for #ubuntu-offtopic [07:31] my comment has fallen on def ears I see [07:31] WIGGMPk: So I have 3 missing kernel modules how do I attack this? [07:31] WIGGMPk, but also no, if you follow any kind of strict trust model. That same level of driver control for custom software is akin to unprotected sex in the caveish darkness of no source code. [07:31] extras are installed, but stil cant run DVD [07:31] Daskreech: which one's are missing? [07:31] type1 freetype and nvidia [07:32] !tab | You mean this tesla_ ? [07:32] You mean this tesla_ ?: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [07:32] tesla_: tab completion has been around for awhile. [07:32] WIGGMPk, practical side is... out of scope? thats how you know an ideological zealot. =). [07:32] does any modem support linux now ? [07:32] without linuxant [07:32] qe2eqe: out of scope = #ubuntu-offtopic [07:32] !offtopic [07:32] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [07:33] snakdoc: what kind of modem are you refering to? [07:33] qe2eqe: No just that it's not giving support in a support channel you were pointed to where you can talk about it all you like [07:33] dial up modem [07:33] I know but when I first started using ubuntu I had no idea comming from windoze [07:33] agreeing with hpierce... its about getting dirty hands. [07:33] TheNewGuy: did it install for you? [07:33] snakdoc: any externel modem will, don't know about recent internals? [07:33] my bad. [07:34] with out special driver externals will work ? [07:34] tesla_: ok, np. [07:34] snakdoc: doubtful [07:34] snakdoc: Oh yeah externals work fine [07:35] tesla_: welcome to Linux/Ubuntu. :) [07:35] I stuck... [07:35] can you use sbackup and srestore between an 8.04 box and a 9.04 box? [07:35] ok i could make my internal work with driver but was looking for one that had linux support thats all [07:35] WIGGMPk: running X& It throws three errors with no nvidia module being fatal [07:35] TheNewGuy: on? [07:35] wigg, I changed the permission [07:35] was looking at building server and was going to install on it thats reason i was asking [07:36] TheNewGuy: best bet to delete and re-download [07:36] TheNewGuy: You can use tab in IRC to complete names as well [07:36] thanks for all the help [07:36] snakdoc: yes, they should, they are just another serial device. [07:36] Daskreech: it throws and error on install the nvidia package? [07:36] Yes [07:36] when I right click it to run it in terminal, terminal is not an option in the list [07:36] * WIGGMPk cant believe he resorted to proprietary software to burn DVD's [07:36] Daskreech: you trying 173? [07:36] WIGGMPk: try k3b [07:36] WIGGMPk: Yes [07:36] problem i had was that the one i have built in was a winmodem i believe :( [07:37] snakdoc: if it's PCI it's a winmodem [07:37] Daskreech: I have.. Gnomebaker, growisofs, makeisofs, Brasero, etc etc etc etc [07:37] n2diy, thanks ive been using it for almost a year but just recently have started to interact with the community [07:37] deeveedee ? [07:37] so best bet is a external and i should be in good shape ? [07:37] Daskreech: yes.. k3b, acidburn, etc [07:38] Daskreech: what package names are they? [07:38] WIGGMPk, happens all too often, that resorting. I got a bucket of win only hardware =( [07:38] TheNewGuy: just open the terminal and navigate to it the file [07:38] nivdia-glx-173 [07:39] tesla_: fine business, then you've missed out on a year of the best tech. support in the industry, this channel. [07:39] qe2eqe: what upsets me is it worked fine in Intrepid.. and just took a dive.. either the driver or dvd+rw-tools.. cause nero linux looks like its going to fail too [07:40] tis true [07:40] WIGGMPk, alot of time the difference between proprietary apps for hardware use and free.... is configuration req'd. Try and find maybe what the conf defaults in your proprietary working solution are compared to other. [07:40] wigg? [07:40] IRSSI HEAVY USERS: Is there a /set command that will not display user's hostname whenever they join/quit/ban/etc ? [07:40] TheNewGuy: yes? === CaneToad1 is now known as CaneToad [07:41] ok, got to the directory with the file, typed in "sudo sh jre-6u14-linux-i586.bin" it asked for my pass word. then said it can't open the file. [07:41] WIGGMPk, yeah, sometimes I wish synaptic was smart enough to roll back only subsections of the package tree to specific dates of known working... it probably is, i just haven't rtfm [07:41] qe2eqe: its the kernel or package.. cause its failing again [07:41] when I tried it the second time, it did not ask for the password and said it could not open the file. [07:42] TheNewGuy: It's on a timer. When you put in your password it remembers it for 10 minutes [07:42] ctrl is not working my ubuntu 8.04.......... [07:42] WIGGMPk, so you're dual booting this thing? [07:42] TheNewGuy: cause you already authenticated yourself [07:42] ok [07:42] TheNewGuy: did you re-download it already? [07:42] qe2eqe: hell no.. =) [07:42] I'm on a GMA950 with a max canvas size of 2048x2028 (for acceleration)...and I have my two monitors positioned "top-of" each other (in xrandr, they are side by side physically). I want to make them appear to X stacked on top but be able to use them as if they were positioned side by side in xrandr (isntead of having to have the mouse go off the top of the screen to switch) [07:42] ok, doing that now. do I need to change the bin to EXE or something eles? [07:42] WIGGMPk, so what proprietary software you resortin' to? [07:43] TheNewGuy: no, exe is a windows only thing.. delete the file and redownload it then let me know [07:43] qe2eqe: nero for linux [07:43] qe2eqe: it was a test.. to see if it was the software used to burn DVD's.. but its definitely the system [07:44] can you use sbackup and srestore between an 8.04 box and a 9.04 box? [07:44] Is there anybody here willing to help me? [07:44] Daskreech: sec, thinking.. havent forgot about you [07:44] ok, down loading now. going to take a few minutes... [07:44] Like I am seriously freaking out right now [07:44] ubuntu, we can't! You haven't asked a question. [07:45] WIGGMPk, Well if nero did it inside the operating system... (going out on a limb here)... the kernel should be ok with burning? [07:45] TheNewGuy: in the meantime do you still synaptic open? [07:45] Bah hold on lemme change it to a proper screen name [07:45] yes [07:45] hey guys i'm not sure who to ask this to, but i just installed ubuntu-tweak.. and it's "package cleaner".. in "clean cache" there's about 100+ .deb packages listed.. whicih i can select and remove.. do i need these? are they there because i did a net-install?.. [07:45] d [07:46] nellmathew: Yes [07:46] nellmathew: let apt figure that out, sun sudo apt-get clean [07:46] should I close it? [07:46] to the last part no to the first part [07:46] WIGGMPk, maybe nero loads its own modules. Maybe it unloads them? Maybe it just tells whats there how to work right, or has safer settings by default. [07:46] http://fullcirclemagazine.org --> read read read ... [07:46] TheNewGuy: no try the sun-java6-jre install [07:46] Daskreech, thanks! [07:47] Daskreech: first try and get rid of everything again.. "sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-glx-173 nvidia-glx-96 nvidia-173-kernel-source nvidia-96-kernel-source nvidia-173-modaliases nvidia-96-modaliases nvidia-common nvidia-settings" [07:47] * Daskreech waves at Cutegirl [07:47] qe2eqe: sorry was typing.. nero failed to burn.. === sheep is now known as lstarnes [07:47] WIGGMPk, good news! [07:47] Bah screw changing nicks [07:47] WIGGMPk: Here is the fun part it tells me that nvidia-common isn't installed when I grep the installed packages it says it is [07:48] ubuntu: type /nick somethingnew [07:48] Listen I was running Xp and was attempting to dual boot Ubuntu [07:48] exactly what do I type in to get a list of files in a directory? when in terminal === ubuntu is now known as mrmental [07:48] Daskreech: thats fine.. just take the nvidia-common part out and try and remove all the stuff again [07:48] There [07:48] TheNewGuy: ls [07:48] WIGGMPk, I wish you could confirm that the burner is ok hardware wise. [07:48] k [07:48] Anyways I was trying to dual boot Xp and Ubuntu [07:48] qe2eqe: i know it is.. its a brand new replacement from ASUS [07:48] TheNewGuy: ls, ls -al, etc.. [07:49] !bot | leaf-sheep [07:49] leaf-sheep: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [07:49] I was in the process of installing and going through partitioning. I set it up to where 6% of my hdd would be ubuntu and the rest Cp [07:49] WIGGMPk: done [07:49] Daskreech: returned no errors? [07:50] WIGGMPk, have you googled for specific issues with linux and this guy? Firmware updates? [07:50] It was partitioning, but was stuck at 0%, so I waited about ten minutes and then it says something along the lines of 'Failed to Partition, Action aborted' [07:50] ok, I am not in the correct desk top ... I guess. [07:50] WIGGMPk, are you using a known working cable? =/ had that happen before [07:50] WIGGMPk: Nope purged dkms and fakeroot [07:50] TheNewGuy: :-D who's are you in? [07:51] qe2eqe: yes.. and there is a bug report opened in launchpad confirming the issue [07:51] I say to myself 'Ok thats weird, I am just going to restart my computer and forget about linux for now' [07:51] mrmental: how big is the hd? [07:51] 500gb [07:51] ok... I switched. wow... I am reaching back to my cpm days. can't belive I am remembering this stuff. [07:51] qe2eqe: its an internal drive.. sata for a laptop.. and yes.. dont worry about it.. I know what the problem is but cant fix it [07:51] Drive. Laptop. Ubuntu. [07:52] anyone remember the cpm operating system? [07:52] mrmental: if your talking to me, use my nick, so it gets highlighted. [07:52] Sorry [07:52] n2diy: My hdd is 500gb [07:52] Daskreech: ok, you removed dkms or it auto went with.. ?? [07:52] hermitmode, thats a tiny little unintuitive link that says 'english'.... as the final step in retrieving issue [07:52] auto went [07:53] holy crapp... I'm old [07:53] TheNewGuy: it download yet? [07:53] I restart my computer and go to boot Xp, it gets past the scrolling bar screen and then goes to the 'Checking C: if you wish to skip press any key now' [07:53] I think my linux has gas. it says inflating [07:53] Then it flicks Blue Screen and restarts [07:53] TheNewGuy: New nick then? [07:54] down loaded and just ran it. [07:54] mrmental: so how many gigs did your give Ubuntu? 6% is unusual, recently I partitioned, and I wasn't asked what percent to give you Ubuntu, but how many gigs? [07:54] new nick? [07:54] About 30 gigs? [07:54] n2diy: About 30 gigs [07:54] TheNewGuy: lol.. so your good now? [07:55] not sure, it ran and installed. do I need to reboot? [07:55] How can I check to see if it is installed? [07:55] mrmental: ok, but did you tell it 30 gigs, or 6 percent? [07:55] I run the Ubuntu live cd and go to check my hdd and it says 'Failed to Mount' [07:55] TheNewGuy: no need to reboot. Type java [07:56] TheNewGuy: or open something that uses java [07:56] TheNewGuy: you might have to update your alternatives... [07:56] n2diy: I used the slider, I had it to where ubuntu had 30gigs (Up above the slider it had the percentage) [07:56] mrmental, was it originally a primary partition, or extended, that you installed ubuntu to? [07:57] where do i type java? [07:57] Hey guys [07:57] terminal [07:57] mrmental: ok, after you re-sized the partiton, did you make it bootable, format it, etc...? [07:57] mrmental, also, what does fdisk say about this disk that doesn [07:57] * ChrisD needs help with eeebox display drivers (intel gma 950 i believe) [07:58] Daskreech: ok run "sudo apt-get --purge autoremove" [07:58] still showing the old version. but in terminal it came up. [07:58] Can anyone please help? [07:58] ChrisD, state your issue? [07:58] WIGGMPk: Did [07:58] TheNewGuy: in the terminal... type "sudo update-alternatives --config java" [07:58] n2diy: Sorry but I am not quite as computer literate as I thought I was, I dont know what fdisk is. There was no option I dont think for bootable/format or anything, I just used the slider, it all looked good and I pressed 'Next' [07:58] TheNewGuy: then pick the one you just installed [07:58] qe2eqe, well, I just installed eeebuntu, but everything related to video performance lags [07:59] There is only 1 program which provides java [07:59] (/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java). Nothing to configure. [07:59] qe2eqe, even when i switch desktops (I've got an eeebox b202, everything works out of the box, it just lags like hell) [07:59] mrmental: that wasn't me suggesting fdisk. Ok, after you re-zized the disk, and you run next, the new partition info is displayed, right? [08:00] Daskreech: ok.. "sudo apt-get install nvidia-173-kernel-source nvidia-173-modaliases nvidia-glx-173" [08:00] ChrisD, open terminal, type glxinfo | grep render [08:00] TheNewGuy: type "java --version" [08:00] n2diy: No it wouldn't resize, it said 'Failed to Partition, Action Aborting' [08:00] can someone suggest a ubuntu oriented dev channel? [08:00] ChrisD, let me know the just of that line [08:00] ChrisD, let me know the jist*, even, i.e., summarize it if you must [08:01] qe2eqe, no jist, just this "direct rendering: Yes [08:01] OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer [08:01] " [08:01] Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: version [08:01] Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: version [08:01] at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:217) [08:01] at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) [08:01] at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:205) [08:01] at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:323) [08:01] qe2eqe: I guess it wouldn't be a secondary partition, I already had Xp installed and well in use. Most of my hdd was filled [08:01] TheNewGuy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:01] ChrisD, try running glxgears, does that lag? [08:01] qe2eqe: I guess it wouldn't be a secondary partition, I already had Xp installed and well in use. Most of my hdd was filled [08:02] qe2eqe, 60-100 fps [08:02] mrmental, hm. Did you resize the partition? Sometimes that gets bugged. [08:02] sorry.. been using linux for 4 hours. 3 hours trying to get java working [08:02] TheNewGuy: really/ [08:02] yea... 4 hours total [08:02] that's unusally long [08:02] TheNewGuy: honestly.. its 30 million times easier installing it from the repositories [08:03] TheNewGuy, it should install itself in firefox [08:03] ok. [08:03] WIGGMPk: Speaking of easier from the repos [08:03] ok, [08:03] qe2eqe: I believe that is what I was attempting to do? I was just trying to install Ubuntu so I could dual boot Xp and Ubuntu [08:03] ChrisD, I think your problem is one of two things. Either you don't understand exactly how not powerful your netbook is, or a fan or duct or something on your machine isn't working, your processor is running slower to keep from crisping. [08:03] reinstall a driver? [08:03] Daskreech: ok.. "sudo apt-get install nvidia-173-kernel-source nvidia-173-modaliases nvidia-glx-173" [08:03] ok, well I am don with it for now. how can I install my updates? [08:04] hpierce: ubuntu-kernel? [08:04] lol @ newguy. Too many options for java, too many... [08:04] TheNewGuy: do you know why you need this .bin file? EXACTLY why?? [08:04] Hello!! My name is Rubén Ahumada from Mendoza. I study in institute "Nuevo Cuyo" with the teacher Sergio Alonso [08:04] qe2eqe, well, I ran a live cd of 6.10 on an AMD K6-2 400mhz with 384 ram and a 4 meg video card and it ran a lot smoother :( [08:04] mrmental, well, I've never had an issue, but alot of things that can resize partitions also have disclaimers like 'this isn't always pretty' [08:05] Does anyone know of a repository with SNORT or int? [08:05] !hi | Rub [08:05] Rub: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [08:05] on it* [08:05] ChrisD, =/. What's it? [08:05] qe2eqe, maybe hardware acceleration if off or something? [08:05] TheNewGuy: you can do updates 2 ways.. "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" from the command line.. or System > Administration > Update Manager [08:05] the program that I am runing sent me to the java.com to down load it because the version loaded was incorrect. [08:05] ChrisD, hardware acceleration = direct rendering [08:05] WIGGMPk: run a dkmsbuild first [08:05] qe2eqe, I meant Ubuntu 6.10 [08:06] TheNewGuy: do you personally install ANY other copies of java or any OTHER packages on your machine? [08:06] qe2eqe: I don't know, I am just a bit frustrated right now, my hdd is failing to mount now, like when I try to access it under the live cd, it says 'Failed to Mount' [08:06] Daskreech: DKMS should do it automatically [08:06] ChrisD, i mean, whats slow [08:06] it's not how do I do it manually? [08:06] qe2eqe, eh, I guess? Sorry haven't used Linux for a while now, but even xp runs a lot better, at least firefox scrolling doesn't lag like mad [08:06] Daskreech: i have no idea [08:06] no I did not install anything else... oh, I tried to install flash. [08:06] it is no long in the update manager [08:06] TheNewGuy: humor me for 30 mins.. [08:06] qe2eqe, well, everything except the terminal [08:07] sure [08:07] I new in Ubuntu, i want learn much about linux and ubuntu [08:07] by the way... thanks for all the help. [08:07] TheNewGuy: run this in terminal.. make sure you close synaptic or update manager before this.... "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" [08:07] mrmental, well, there should be at least two volumes that it lets your try to mount. If windows didn't eat linux, then the latter should be gracefully mounted. Either way, your windows should be ntfs, which sometimes has issues in linux if you don't shut your windows down proper [08:07] my english is not very good, sorry [08:07] I mean I can paste the details as to why it cannot mount [08:08] I am going to get a basic book tomarrow... I need to learn the basics. although you guys got me pretty far. I know 100 time more now then when i started [08:08] Hi! I need to Partition my Windows Partition to make a larger partition for Ubuntu. (I'm on a HP Laptop.) Does anyone know any good programs to use? [08:08] ok, what will this do wig [08:08] hpierce: does this disk have data on it that you need to recover? [08:08] Nicolas__: use Live Cd and GParted that comes with it [08:09] ChrisD, I don't know what to say. I've never heard of eeebuntu. If you have an eeepc, I'd recommend modifying or at least learning defaults from the canonical eeepc distribution. [08:09] TheNewGuy: did you run that command?? the package name "ubuntu-restricted-extras" is called a meta package.. it will download and install a series of packages most commonly desired that are NOT included with Ubuntu (due to their philosipy or however you spell that word) including.. adobe flash, sun java jre, etc [08:09] i need basic help for somebody to approve a matter [08:09] Nicolas__: u find it under system as partition manager [08:09] Ubuntunom: I used Wubi to install. [08:09] Rub: what's up? [08:09] mrmental, put the details over at pastebin [08:10] Can someone here help me set up pureftpd? [08:10] tenach: i study Analisis of sistems in mendoza-argentina [08:10] Nicolas__: you could dload GParted Live CD then [08:10] i need teach somebody to approve me [08:10] Analysis of Systems =) [08:10] qe2eqe, well it's a distro based on Ubuntu, it's just that they say everthing has been optimized for the eee series of netbooks, that is sort of true, everything works out of the box, even wifi, but X lags, even in Xfce4 [08:10] WIGGMPk: says there is no source [08:10] sorry for my english [08:10] hullo [08:10] TheNewGuy: trust me.. one of the first things I do when I install ubuntu.. is install ubuntu-restricted-extras first.. then I install ubuntu-tweak (which will give you tons of software to easily install from the application and give you tweaks for the system) [08:11] Daskreech: damit.. do you have the headers installed???? [08:11] ChrisD: i have the same problem i think, im using a 1000he [08:11] WIGGMPk: Umm Dunno which headers? [08:11] Daskreech: cd /usr/src and list the directory.. do you see.. "linux-headers-2.6.28-13-generic" and the other one? [08:11] Rub: What do you need approved? [08:11] ubuntu-tweak is that package name ? [08:11] ubuntunom: I heard it doesn't work good with HP. I have the gparted cd downloaded, anyway I can mount the files instead of having to burn them? I'm low on CDs. [08:11] libtech, yeah, something tells me I really should have went for Mandriva 2k9 [08:11] Can someone here help me set up pureftpd? [08:11] snakdoc: yes.. but you need to add repositories to do it [08:12] Rub, no problem, take a look at my spanish. Como podemos ayuday? (Perdona me por mi espanol terrible) [08:12] qe2eqe: Pastebin? [08:12] ok i can find them [08:12] ayudar* dammit [08:12] WIGGMPk: Ah wait I needed something more for the driver support [08:12] a test of systems analysis [08:12] Anyways, thanks for the help guys, I'mma just try another distro or the official Ubuntu, see if those work better [08:12] libtech, good luck bro [08:12] TheNewGuy: look at this site http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ to install ubuntu-tweak.. click download and it will walk you through adding "repositories" and downloading the application.. let me know when the restricted extras get done so we can see if it fixed your issue [08:12] trying to restore system at moment anyway was almost done and system rebooted when i didn't wan tit to [08:12] snakdoc: http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ [08:12] want it* [08:12] mrmental, http://pastebin.com/ [08:13] Daskreech: yea.. you need the kernel headers to compile it.. lmfao.. sorry its late I should of got that before [08:13] wigg it says could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 resources temporarily unavailable) [08:13] I setuped dav_svn long time ago (~6 months ago) and it all worked until I setupped apparmor for apache2. now it doesn't work when using svn client but works on firefox or wget. disabling apparmor doesn't resolve [08:13] umm [08:13] ok [08:13] can help solve a basic problem or question? [08:13] TheNewGuy: do you have Synpatic Package Manager or Update Manager going?? [08:13] Rub: Sure [08:13] Rub: I can try [08:13] similar thing about administration directory... "is another process using it?" [08:13] qe2eqe: Sorry for being such a n00b but can you help me through this pastebin stuff? [08:13] TheNewGuy I'm having the same problem...

[08:14] mrmental, to conserve space in the irc channel, it's polite to put blocks of text in a url. That way I can click and look at your exact hdd mounting error, but these guys don't get hit with bookoo lines of terminalese to scroll around [08:14] WIGGMPk, did twice and nothing happened.

[08:18] TheNewGuy: System > Administration > System Monitor [08:18] So you would like us to ask you questions to see if you can answer them? [08:18] yea.. i have to reboot now too lol [08:18] Does anyone have a TOSHIBA r500 portege [08:18] ok, going to restart.. BRB [08:18] yes!!! thank you!! [08:19] Basic questions? [08:19] qe2eqe: http://pastebin.com/d7508fec [08:19] basic please, yes [08:19] Well, the first one I'm always asked is this: What is Ubuntu? [08:20] mga bisdak pang mata namo hehehe.. roflmao [08:20] Guest51792: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade i made a mistake if you aren't root sorry about that [08:20] how do you become root? [08:20] yes,like this tenach! [08:20] thank you [08:20] None to help with bluetooth? [08:20] You are welcome. [08:21] the sudo in command will fix that for you [08:21] flatoutN00b: sudo [08:21] flatoutN00b : just use sudo or you can use x root terminal... [08:21] Tenach: Ubuntu is a community developed operating system that is perfect for laptops, desktops and servers. [08:21] damn, sudo again [08:21] flatoutN00b : #sudo command (After that it will prompt you with your password) === indra_23 is now known as vhiiya [08:22] Why should I use Ubuntu, Rub? [08:22] flatoutN00b : #rum x root terminal if you don't want sudo [08:22] sudo appears to be my arch nemesis so far, followed closely by make files [08:22] * flatoutN00b shakes fist at make files [08:22] How can I get Jaunty server's console to display foreing chars correctly(á,ö,ñ,etc)? [08:22] hello , can someone recommend me on good word processor other than openoffice ? [08:22] flatoutN00b: you can run sudo -i and get in x root [08:23] make files are good [08:23] Shay5482: What do you use it for? [08:23] flatoutN00b : run gksu /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator @ Run Application [08:23] Shay5482, I'm fond of abiword, but make sure to turn on autosave because its crashy sometimes. Also huge fan of WikiDpad, but it's not really all purpose. [08:23] I have never run a make file that didn't error [08:23] qe2eqe: Did you get that? === attila_ is now known as gatto [08:23] tenach: open .rtf format (original document that saved on microsoft office ) when i open it with openoffice the document not opened well [08:24] dual screen look really funny [08:24] :) [08:24] mrmental, yeah, checking now. Was busy googling spanish verbs. [08:24] flatoutN00b: after time those go away because you are missing files that are need to build project after time you start to collect them [08:24] Shay5482 use .doc ext. [08:24] because is a software free, for you community friendly. Ubuntu is by far the best Linux variant available today for hardware recognition. [08:24] qe2eqe: Take your time, any help is appreciated [08:25] been trying to install aircrack, but aircrack seems to require openssl, so after three hours I figured out how to install openssl, but apparently I did it wrong because aircrack still says the directories don't exist [08:25] * flatoutN00b shakes fist at make files [08:25] Easy to Dual Boot: If you’ve got an extra partition you are in luck. [08:25] flatoutN00b: when building project you can run sudo apt-get build-dep to get it to install most the files you will need [08:25] Good job so far Rub :) [08:25] gatto: u mean i should save the filename in microsoft office at .doc format ? [08:25] WIGGMPk: X is back [08:25] Daskreech: thank god.. it worked then eh? [08:25] Will my .doc files and other Microsoft Office files work? [08:25] WIGGMPk the hard restart worked. =D [08:25] Yeah but still no pretty stuff [08:25] well [08:25] than you tenach!!! [08:25] well something for tomorrow [08:25] SirMoo: good to hear [08:25] why does the sound in ubuntu always have to be so painful [08:26] mrmental, you're trying to mount your windows partition. We know that because NTFS is microsoft's filesystem. It means just what it says. You have two options here [08:26] can someone please help me? [08:26] thank you for understand my problem [08:26] how many mixer items do we really need? [08:26] .doc format work with openoffice and microsoft office [08:26] Daskreech: sorry it took so long for me to think about the headers [08:26] Rub what are you basing that ubuntu is best for hardware recigition on? [08:26] rub, how is it free? [08:26] qe2eqe: Yes it would be really easy but I can't BOOT Xp, per se [08:26] and for my poor english [08:26] snakdoc: I have no idea what you said, but it sounds like it could be helpful if I understood it :-) [08:26] mrmental, why can't you? [08:26] Rub: Your English is pretty good :D [08:26] .doc may more smaller then .rtf [08:26] xhema: why would you ask a subjective question? [08:26] mrmental, I like easy solutions, and that would fix it, just booting and shutting down proper [08:26] made it back. [08:27] Daskreech: well I guess im gonna compile the 2.6.30 kernel *sigh* why are you running the server image btw? [08:27] n2diy, how can I get my source recording working on ubuntu? it worked, but I cannot find the settings [08:27] i installed script to convert audio extensions but , i want it to appear on right click of audio file , not to go right click >> scripts >> avconvert [08:27] flatoutN00b: maybe someone here thats been using ubuntu longer can explain better than i can [08:27] when n00bs use this thing, they are frustratd [08:27] Ubuntu is available free of charge and we can send you a CD of the latest version [08:27] TheNewGuy: awesome.. now install that package.. "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" from the command line [08:27] anyone have aircrack installed? [08:27] Ubuntu CDs contain only free software applications; we encourage you to use free and open source software [08:27] ok, was gonna ask for that... :-) [08:28] qe2eqe: It attempts to boot, gets right past the the scrolling bar screen then it gives me soemthing like 'Checking C: Press any key to cancel' at which point it goes to a Blue Screen of Death for like 1 millisecond and the machine restarts [08:28] xhema: what is the source, and what app. are you recording it with? [08:28] GNOME vs. XFCE what's the better? [08:28] Rub, I'm very fond of the gratis and libre distinction. =/ What is the advantage of libre? [08:28] flatoutN00b: i use to but its been a while back whats error message use http://paste.ubuntu.com if its long [08:28] i installed script to convert audio extensions but , i want it to appear on right click of audio file , not to go right click >> scripts >> avconvert , how to do that ? [08:28] n2diy, any app. source is a front panel mic. app is the sound recorder [08:29] I just burnt ubuntu iso to a disc and had some trouble booting it at startup to install it and i had already made it so BIOS booted from CD before HDD so i installed the CD Boot Helper on the Ubunutu CD and now when i started it up it gave me a choice in between ubuntu and windows so i choose ubuntu then it gives me and option to go to a menu by pressing ESC [08:29] Mrmental, wow, sounds bad. [08:29] ok, installing now. yikes... taking a while... only at 5% [08:29] gatto: Neither is better IMHO, it is a matter both of taste and resources [08:29] n2diy, ahh line in capture was on... not mic let me see [08:29] IMHO? [08:29] and if i dont it just loads the Ubuntu screen and after that it comes up with a whole lot of I/O device errors for like 5 minutes [08:29] gatto: That depends on your taste. Try them and find out. [08:29] n2diy, how can i see what item is producing a signal? [08:29] qe2eqe: Yeah.. could I do Option 2? Would that work? [08:29] gatto: IMHO is in my humble/honest opinion [08:29] is there a way to scan all inputs for sound? [08:30] flatoutNOOb see private message [08:30] then it comes up with BusyBox and thats all i can do [08:30] Mrmental, yes. mount -t ntfs -3g /dev/sda1/media/disk -o force [08:30] i got it guys , here http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/add-custom-functionality-to-nautilus-linux/ [08:30] Mrmental, I'm scared, tho, and might be tempted to mount read only... [08:30] GNU / Linux systems are free operating systems, meaning the software has the potential to level 4 digital freedoms, so a person can not only see the source code of the system, but may not modify, adapt to their needs and even re - circulate freely without fear. [08:30] XBMC Media Center the best!:D [08:30] qe2eqe: In the terminal correct? What are the possible negative effects? [08:30] mrmental, because if you screwed the pooch on your format, not all is lost untill you start writing more to the partition [08:31] TheNewGuy: its a lot of packages.. but it will be worth it.. [08:31] can someone help me??? [08:31] Usally, I change the main theme [08:31] xhema: well, you might have to create your own? I use Audacity to create sound file, and from there, I can trouble shoot the sound system. [08:31] mrmental: the only limit to that question is your imagination. ;) [08:31] yes, i have audacity, but again there are so many options [08:31] say the problem [08:31] is there a list of what I am installing? [08:31] mrmental: to answer your other q, yeah, in terminal [08:31] HELP ME [08:32] Futasay say [08:32] By the way... wigg I really appreciate the help. [08:32] Futasay, did you check the cdrom for errors? [08:32] i cant load Ubuntu properly after the ubuntu loading screen it lists a whole lot of erros for 4-5 minutes hten only lets me use BusyBox [08:32] qe2eqe: I really just want the files I have on the hdd, I can always just reinstall windows, but there is a lengthy amount of music files I would love to have back [08:33] Futasay, check the cdrom for errors ...? [08:33] I can't seem to get Java to work. T_T [08:33] n2diy, i could create my own. [08:33] What do the 4 vertical bars with ascending length symbolize in the lower left status bar in Ekiga 3.2.0? [08:33] qe2eq and tenach: needed to answer questions and make screenshots of you questions to approve operating systems at my university [08:33] Futasay, and tell us what the specs of your pc are, how much ram? [08:33] possible [08:33] TheNewGuy: not a problem.. I dont want you to get discouraged from linux.. [08:33] tnah you very much for you help!!!!!! [08:33] but where to start. I guess I need to iterate through all options of the mixer [08:33] Rub, So, I'm in luck. I want to try ubuntu, and I have that extra partition you mentioned. It's a dell/compaq/hp... [08:33] hello, I find that if I add export PATH=/a/bin:$PATH to .bashrc and do source .bashrc the changes are not persistant. If log out of ssh session and login back again, I lose the settings. How do I make it persistant? [08:33] or add a gauge to the mixer to show if there is a signal [08:33] is it possible to move ubuntu to the beginning of partition after removing windows from there? [08:34] IMHOxD [08:34] Pentium 4 2.26 GHz, 1GB RAM [08:34] BRB [08:34] TheNewGuy: a list of what your installing.. hmm... http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/ubuntu-restricted-extras this might help [08:34] mrmental, well, I doubt it's going to nuke anything. You can mount it as read only for the extra precaution... but I've used that command a number of times now, with no issues. [08:35] tvasht for ubuntu it does not matter where the partition is, its not slower, so it does not matter.. [08:35] Futasay desktop edition? [08:35] You are very welcome Rub! [08:35] Good luck, Rub [08:35] Yes desktop edition [08:35] qe2eqe: Thank you, I am going to attempt it, wish me luck [08:35] mrmental, I think you would just add readonly to the end of that 'mount -t ntfs -3g /dev/sda1/media/disk -o force' [08:35] Futasay, seems enough, so check cdrom for errors [08:35] mrmental, good luck. [08:35] thank's!! [08:35] xhema: ok, so you have a known good sound source? Then double check your sound settings, beware of little red indicators under the gain/volume sliders, they toggle mute on and off. [08:35] TheNewGuy: bookmark this site too.. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/ [08:36] try install under windows if it not work you can check other cdrom/dvdrom [08:36] TheNewGuy: cause if you want to play a DVD you need to install "non free" libraries.. due to digital rights lol [08:36] n2diy it works now... [08:36] thanks for listening to me [08:36] xD [08:36] How do I check it for errors? [08:36] qe2eqe no understand your question [08:36] x [08:36] yellabs, ok. so keep ubuntu where it is. what would u recommend i should do to recover grub after a windows mbr repair? [08:36] Rub, I plugged in a joypad, and it's not working in my game, 'the ur-quan masters' [08:36] try other cdrom to install [08:36] xhema: cool. [08:37] yellabs, i m installing osx leopard ubuntu and windows on a laptop [08:37] I burn 2x KUBUNTU 8.10 [08:37] grub! [08:37] because the install process mistake [08:37] WIGGMPk: yeah rotating panel [08:37] !grub [08:37] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [08:37] yellabs, how sould i do it, the sequence. cause windows in the end would screw things up in the mbr [08:37] tvasht? [08:38] yellabs, u mean grub disk? [08:38] gatto, what? [08:38] Im having some more joy from my favourite hosting company, Godaddy. Trying to enable ssh access to a couple of my hosting accounts. You navigate thru the awful website until you finally get to the page where you enter your phone number and click "enable". They then put an automated call to your phone and a machine reads you your pin to activate the ssh. I did that and got the phone call but the pin didn't work. Ive tried again a dozen [08:38] Any GUI FTP server for Ubuntu ? [08:38] Rub, it's the only game I have that I can test the game pad on. How do I even know if the game pad is broken or not? [08:38] WIGGMPk: I did a server install then put on KDE 4.3 I guess [08:38] tvasht what would you do? restore Grub after windows install? [08:38] navigation in the form of drop-down is better on the top or left?? [08:39] TheShahFactor: gFTP [08:39] is usb the pad game? [08:39] gatto, i m not sure [08:39] i think, but not shure, install windows first, them install os x, them ubuntu, but i could be wrong [08:39] I have two processes with the same name. How can I figure out which pid belongs to which without risking closing them? [08:39] find /boot/grub/stage1 [08:39] yellabs, thats what i m doing but just wanted some advise on. how to restore grub [08:40] cached: can you see them in top? [08:40] restore grub [08:40] cached, maybe you could monitor their cpu usage as you give one process load? [08:40] !grub [08:40] n2diy: yes [08:40] root (hd0,1) [08:40] Is there a way to change the shortcut Icon for web links? [08:40] yellabs, grub will work for osx too or they have a seperate boot loader? [08:40] grub! [08:40] setup (hd0) [08:40] hmm? [08:40] that's all [08:40] whats wrong with ubot [08:40] I mean so it defaults to a different one? [08:40] is important after the last Xserver(-xorg-input-*) updates to provide a dumb of lsmod to make every single Gamepad model work again [08:40] cached: then you can see there pids. [08:41] rub, yeah, it's usb. It happens to be HID-compliant. [08:41] gatto, where will i do what u just said?

[08:41] gatto: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:41] Update : [08:41] cached: nada [08:42] According to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/274203/comments/78 Ubuntu 9.04 may not need this, and since Ubuntu isn' [08:42] going to provide the fdi files for 8.10, basically the lshal output is only necessary to tell the name of the info.product information. [08:42] n2diy: then what is? [08:42] gatto, ya carry on [08:42] cached: ? wrong nick? [08:42] A little more searching, and I've run the following commands: sudo update-usbids [08:42] n2diy: oh, i thought you responded to my other question ;) [08:42] Which updated the USB ids, but didn't change the "not working" aspect. [08:43] pedestrianentran : I want to setup an FTP server on Ubuntu ; and need a software with GUI ( not unlike CesarFTP on windows) If I am not mistaken Gftp is used for connecting to other servers right?

You should paste things like that to pastebin.com. The answer I was looking for was 'cat /dev/input/js0' , and see if the the not working was a result of the software or configuration.

[09:00] google , #samba have sort of let me down [09:00] iashwaniarora: you can find them at /var/cache/apt/archices [09:00] iashwaniarora: you can find them at /var/cache/apt/archives [09:00] iashwaniarora: you can find them at /var/cache/apt/archives [09:01] iashwaniarora: when you do apt-get [09:01] usicow, however, there are few restrictions on the ms-fonts package or whatever, and it's not very hard to get those fonts you're used to in there [09:01] cool [09:01] qe2eqe: is there a way to make them look the same as winblows? [09:01] ahh [09:01] usi beat you to it. Pow! [09:01] hehe [09:02] tesla_, I'm noob@samba... but can you ping these systems that aren't working? what does smbclient say about that IP? [09:02] nope, wants to find a suitable plug in [09:03] I installed it.. and it is down loading the files [09:03] was it supposed to do that? [09:03] TheNewGuy: is firefox giving the option for adobe flash as a plugin? [09:03] Is Ubuntu 8.04LTS (emphasis on the S there) going to get the upgrade to Pidgin 2.5.7? At this point two major IM networks can't be connected to with Pidgin 2.5.2. [09:03] no [09:03] TheNewGuy: well the package should of downloaded the "flashplugin-nonfree" package [09:04] its installing a multimedia plugin. 17 files [09:04] I am trying to install a program using it's make file. It requires some files from OpenSSL. I installed OpenSSL and I have the files, but the program I am installing keeps telling me that I don't have the files... [09:04] gsstreamer0.10plug [09:04] ttmrichter: Go to pidgin.im and get their instructions for adding their PPA to update manager [09:04] plugins [09:04] is it supposed to be doing that? [09:04] tenach: PPA? [09:04] ttmrichter: I had to do that even with 9.04 [09:04] TheNewGuy: any of them 'flashplugin-nonfree'??? [09:04] kyenezz_ce [09:04] Personal Package Archive [09:05] flatoutN00b, where does program x expect to find program y? [09:05] I don't know [09:05] TheNewGuy: it should of been taken care of already... so no its not normal something got screwed up [09:05] qe2eqe: I am a bit of a one, so what exactly would you like me to enter into the terminal? [09:05] I'm a moron [09:05] flatoutN00b : what program is that? [09:05] I'm trying to install aircrack [09:05] flatoutN00b, why are you doing that by hand? [09:05] ttmrichter: Did you find it? [09:05] it is installing gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad [09:06] gnasherror [09:06] is thereis there a way to do it automatically? [09:06] What do the 4 vertical bars with ascending length symbolize in the lower left status bar in Ekiga 3.2.0? [09:06] sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng [09:06] <-----notice the name [09:06] flatoutN00b : no you not a moron.. things always get excite sometimes... that make it fun... [09:06] flatoutN00b, be a good boy with it [09:06] you're f***ing kidding me right [09:06] TheNewGuy: gnash is a flash player.. weird.. [09:06] sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng? [09:07] Flannel, it didn't used to be. I likes me some progress [09:07] er, flatoutN00b, not flannel. Sorry flannel! [09:07] ow aircrack-ng is on the the repo? [09:07] ok, its working [09:07] sorta [09:07] mrmental, did you get any response from ls /mnt/sda1 ? if so, everything is gravy [09:07] TheNewGuy: is it finished? if so.. run this in terminal "sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" [09:08] TheNewGuy: yea.. its working with GNASH player not Adobe.. its not gonna be great [09:08] mrmental, and by gravy, I mean just point your file manager to /mnt/sda1 [09:08] qe2eqe: What is the exact command line for that command [09:08] mrmental, ls /mnt/sda1 means 'tell me what files are in /mnt/sda1'. [09:08] the sound is out of synk:-/.... what do I do? [09:09] TheNewGuy: run this in terminal "sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" [09:09] TheNewGuy: close your browser first [09:09] ttmrichter: Did you get it? [09:09] tenach: Thanks a lot for the pointer. [09:09] qe2eqe: Yes I got a response! [09:09] No problem ttmrichter. :) [09:09] tenach: Getting it all set up with my own mutant apt configuration. :D [09:09] ok, I did sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng ... now what? [09:09] mrmental, therefore, gravy. [09:10] anyone use avrdude? Ive apt-get installed it but don't know where apt puts the conf file... [09:10] flatoutN00b - now it should be installed. Are you running Ubuntu? [09:10] pedestrianentran: updatedb && locate avrdude ? [09:10] Sweet deal [09:10] ok done [09:10] I am running ubuntu 9.04 and I can't find aircrack under applications [09:10] Weust: what does that mean? the updatedb [09:10] flatoutN00b, rtfm is a good idea. You'll probably want to start capturing packets asap [09:10] TheNewGuy: now try youtube again.. [09:10] * WIGGMPk crosses fingers [09:11] it updates the db that locate uses to search [09:11] qe2eqe: Sweet and how would I use the file manager to access /mnt/sda1 and then move files off of my hdd onto an flashdrive? [09:11] Hello everyone, I'm running into an intersting issues hooking my laptop into the local network. I am unable to ping anything outside of the network, if I try by hostname the DNS sever gives no responce, if I try IP I am told the network is unreachable. [09:11] any hacker in here? [09:11] flatoutn00b which repositories are you browsing? go to synaptic -> settings [09:11] Where can one find a description of the function of the Ekiga symbol (icon) in the status bar to the left consisting of 4 vertical bars? In particular, when does it become colorful? [09:11] TinyIRC: maybe an gateway problem [09:11] flatoutN00b - now that it is installed, go here: http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php === TinyIRC is now known as Rolaulten [09:12] Stuped exc's. Ok, I'll look into the gateway and see whats up [09:12] Thanks [09:12] Exploiter - this is #ubuntu. Why are you looking for hackers here? [09:12] hi all.i tried to add deb source to my ubuntu jaunty [09:12] mrmental, just click places -> file system -> mnt -> sda1.... and then new window... places -> usb drive... [09:12] can you tell me some rooms where i can find one. [09:12] when i tried to do apt-get update [09:12] it happens like this [09:12] W: GPG error: http://ftp.de.debian.org sid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 9AA38DCD55BE302B [09:12] W: GPG error: http://ftp.de.debian.org sid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 9AA38DCD55BE302B [09:12] Rolaulten: try a traceroute [09:12] Exploiter: Asking for a "hacker" won't get you anywhere. [09:12] wanna_learn: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:13] can u help me? [09:13] mrmental, or if you know the mount place you can get all elegant and use the cp command, (copy), cp /mnt/sda1/* /media/?????? [09:13] Exploiter - just ask for what you are looking for, "hacker" is far too generic. Someone will point you in the right direction. [09:13] how can I see which driver is installed? [09:13] TheNewGuy: driver for what ? [09:14] but i know there's caveats with the copy command and can't guarantee that that would work fully... =/ [09:14] wigg its working but it is not as good as windows. [09:14] i am looking for an assembly programmer who have good knowledge in exploiting buffer overflow vulns/. [09:14] qe2eqe: I will just stick with the visual way of doing things but thank you so much for you time! [09:14] qe2eqe: Now why did you ask me if I was a chan tard? [09:14] weust, did wigg logg? [09:14] hmm [09:15] TheNewGuy: eh? [09:15] TheNewGuy: try this "sudo update-alternatives --config firefox-flashplugin" [09:15] mrmental, because you made me laugh when you said 6% ubuntu and the rest cp [09:15] can u help me? [09:15] i tried to add debian unstable source to my apt/source.list when i tried to apt-get update it happens like this [09:15] W: GPG error: http://ftp.de.debian.org sid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 9AA38DCD55BE302B [09:16] wanna_learn - you need the key from the source that you added.

[09:16] i want to install all 3rd party toolslike desktop enhancement or wine or something else but i dont know there name how do i intall them or get there name [09:16] qe2eqe: Lol that was a typo and I didn't know I had said that.

[09:17] TheNewGuy: k. restart firefox and give it a final go [09:17] doing it now. [09:17] mrmental, i should hope so ;). Besides, I hope the van comes after you get your 400th gig in. [09:17] wanna_learn - That information should have been given to you by whoever gave you the source you added. [09:17] nixie_pixel:okay [09:17] qe2eqe: 400gb of Cp would hopefully raise a big enough flag to the feds lmao [09:18] will googling [09:18] is there a problem with the repository's or just me ? [09:19] can anybody plz help me [09:19] Exploiter - I would advise you to ask that question in #linux as a start, rather than #ubuntu, this distro is not designed for that type of user === labo4g is now known as nameless` [09:19] all right! it is in sync! nice job wigg [09:19] mrmental, hard to say. I don't know why windows is crashing. Have you only ever done one install of xp on that machine? [09:19] now going to try java [09:19] TheNewGuy: god im tired lol.. sorry.. [09:19] * WIGGMPk crosses fingers [09:19] having some trouble with ssh [09:19] i cant conect to a computer in my network [09:19] irc://irc.dream-irc.com/xdcc [09:19] qe2eqe: Well it had Vista when I got it a year and a half ago, I threw on xp after formatting [09:20] aacosta: is the target computer running an ssh daemon [09:20] aacosta: can you ping the machine? [09:20] Exploiter, there's job boards like ebay for that crap [09:20] i want to install all 3rd party toolslike desktop enhancement or wine or something else but i dont know there name how do i intall them or get there name [09:20] hello i am installing ldap + samba on ubuntu 8.10 using the tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAP-SambaPDC-OrgInfo-Posix and i got this error: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/206073/ [09:21] iamtheobject: apt-get install wine [09:21] ? [09:21] mrmental, hm. And theres ONLY two partitions all day? [09:21] iashwaniarora: try using ADD/REMOVE [09:21] haha [09:21] hermit but i dont know there name [09:21] qe2eqe: I am not too sure, I guess I really fucked shit up trying to dual boot ubuntu, is there any possible way to find out how many partitions I have? [09:21] wigg good news. the java is working but the font is too big. [09:21] I think [09:21] iashwaniarora: search for wine, compiz [09:22] its an g3 imac and an eeepc runing ubuntu [09:22] mrmental, sudo fdisk -l [09:22] i dont know if its a network setup issue [09:22] Hi. [09:22] !hi | garp [09:22] garp: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [09:22] mrmental, yeah, easy. fdisk, gparted... eduardo nailed it [09:22] Yesterday I asked about how to maintain a machine that has no internet connection. For answer, I got: [09:22] !offline [09:22] If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.alturl.com/ - See also !APTonCD [09:22] TheNewGuy: well thats good at least.. however I dont really know how to adjust the fonts.. you might try download the mscore fonts [09:23] iashwaniarora, just browse the applications and search through the synaptic package manager [09:23] Garp, lol. [09:23] i get [waiting for headers] when trying to update or intsall anything from apt-get, can any one help ? [09:23] Good morning channel [09:23] Such an answer was not really good. Because it doest say *how* to get the package list on the offline machine. [09:23] !hi | Weust` [09:23] Weust`, please see my private message [09:23] Garp: if you have a machine connected to the internet you can copy all installed .deb @ /var/cache/apt/archives [09:23] Garp: you want update machine without internet, is that? [09:23] TheNewGuy: this is a long shot but try "sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts" however I think this should of been installed already [09:24] Nehyx: yes. [09:24] this is so wierd.. ti works but I can't see everything... [09:24] Garp: use lts versions and download 8.04.1, 8.04.2... versions [09:24] hermitmode: copyin which /var/cache/apt/archives ? [09:24] qe2eqe: http://pastebin.com/db50e2b4 [09:24] Nehyx: the whole one ? [09:25] Garp: all of the *.deb files cause thats the directory apt-get install put all the package [09:25] OK, before you go further, I just found some interesting link: http://pypt-offline.sourceforge.net/ [09:25] thanks a lot [09:25] does anybody ever tested this? Thanks. [09:25] mrmental, wwwwwwooooooowwwwwww [09:25] Is there a place I could get a block diagram of Ubuntu? [09:25] can anyone help me with a ddrescue situation please [09:25] wigg, thanks for your time. i'll have to get this working tomarrow [09:25] hermitmode: offline, I have no downloads... [09:25] qe2eqe: I take it I royally fucked something up? [09:26] Garp: I always used ubuntu with internet, and if you hasn't got internet, updates are innecesary ;-) [09:26] TheNewGuy: you could try this too.. "sudo update-alternatives --config java" and select "/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java" this might fix it [09:26] Nehyx: it fix bugs, allow for new pkgs, etc. [09:26] Garp: yes, but the most bugs are security [09:26] TheNewGuy: alright man.. have a good night.. but try those last steps.. install the msttcorefonts and change the java config [09:27] Nehyx: or enhancements. [09:27] Garp: and the most packets, firefox, evolution... needs internet [09:27] Nehyx: I know that a internet is good, but in that case, I dont have. [09:27] mrmental: that is an ntfs partition, you need ext3 [09:27] There is only 1 program which provides java (/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java). Nothing to configure. [09:27] mrmental, yes. [09:27] Hey I need help with a Dell inspiron 510m and an Optus 3g mobile internet usb dongle with Ubuntu 9.04, it "connects", but we can't access a web browser [09:27] hello cant visit sites which using scripts firefox is crashing [09:27] There is only 1 program which provides java [09:27] (/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java). Nothing to configure. [09:27] qe2eqe: Is it fixable? [09:27] n2diy, he's trying to dual boot [09:28] greets, how do i mount a remote server's directory on my own machine? [09:28] hello, when i try to disable service i disabled one but i don't know what is it, my pc restared then when it on Login screen keyboard and mouse Stop responed [09:28] both running ubuntu [09:28] mrmental, Yeah. If you got a usb drive, copy all your 'doze files over there for safekeeping [09:28] Garp: try to install new packets from another PC, I never tested that :P [09:28] TheNewGuy: you need to install the package again then.. "sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-restricted-extras" should do it.. (prolly cause of the packages that were missing before) [09:28] i think the Services i stoped is "System communication bus" [09:29] qe2eqe: Ok I need to get my neighbors external hdd but that will hav eto wait until morning proper. And then? [09:29] Nehyx: well, there are a few problems. You want to be able to perform 'apt-get update' and then 'apt-get upgrade' [09:29] thats the weiredest thing i can nly ssh to my server when im on the wired network not on the wireless [09:29] ok, loaded, checking java [09:29] Nehyx: "downloading pkgs you need' is "apt-get upgrade" [09:30] Garp: you can buy a wifi in ebay, and go to free wifi zones :) [09:30] aacosta, the wireless gives you the same range of IPs ? (I assume you use DHCP) [09:30] mrmental, hold on, actually. I need to google and rule out the possibility that the ubuntu installer can try to install everything into an ntfs partition side by side with windows [09:30] is it because of NoScript i already passed the sites on whitelist still crashing when i connect [09:30] Is there a place I could get a block diagram map of the Ubuntu system? [09:30] i use dhcp on everyting except the eeepc [09:30] TheNewGuy: if it doesnt work.. then ill try and catch you tomorrow.. i can hardly stay awake right now lol sorry [09:30] qe2eqe, I think only wubi can do that [09:30] Nehyx: If you have some money to give me,, I can have internet access ofor that machine, if you dont, we'll do without. [09:30] qe2eqe: Well right now the installer isn't reading the hdd because I unmounted it [09:30] because it was giving me problems with the wireless [09:30] so i had to put in the ips manually [09:31] jsut for this conection [09:31] hey man, THANK YOU for hanging in there with me. [09:31] mrmental, fdisk always knows what partitions are around [09:31] my home network [09:31] =) [09:31] aacosta, the ssh server is in your LAN or on the internet ? [09:31] it works fine when im plugged into ethernet [09:31] LAN [09:31] need help please myh keyboard and mouse stops responed [09:31] mrmental, the output of fdisk says you only have one partition [09:32] qe2eqe: Ok [09:32] mrmental, which is impossible if you installed ubuntu and still have it installed [09:32] aacosta, can you give me the ip of the ssh server, and the ip of the client when you are on wireless ? maybe you are not on the same network [09:32] in the login screen i cannot use my keyboard or mouse >>>>>>>>>>>??????????????????? [09:32] qe2eqe: ah but I never installed ubuntu, the partitioner fucked up [09:32] mrmental, oh. ok then. [09:33] qe2eqe: Got something along the lines of 'Failed to Partition, Aborting' or something [09:33] 192.168.1.2 [09:33] 192.168.1.10 [09:33] mrmental, hm. so if nothing happened, why did windows break?... [09:33] hello [09:33] qe2eqe: The hdd wasn't mounting? [09:33] somebody know where the firefox logs are then i can put logs here [09:33] maybe you can help then... [09:33] Hello everyone!!!! [09:33] aacosta, ok, are you able to ping the ssh machine ? [09:34] hello, when i try to disable service i disabled one but i don't know what is it, my pc restared then when it on Login screen keyboard and mouse Stop responed [09:34] no im not [09:34] How can i use the tracert command in the terminal like cmd in winxp [09:34] aacosta, and you can navigate on the internet without any problem I guess ? [09:34] Im not too. [09:34] mrmental, I don't think windows failed to mount entirely... theres only 512 bytes of program, and I don't really think thats enough for windows to fit a disk scanner that can't even find the disk [09:34] yeah [09:35] aytekin: traceroute? [09:35] everything seems fine [09:35] thats why im trippin [09:35] yes everything seems fine [09:35] mrmental, (the program is either mbr or it's on a mounted partition. ) [09:35] aacosta, it might be your router that is preventing wireless client to communicate with the rest of the lan [09:35] everyone gets help besides me kk :/ [09:35] i dont know how to like [09:35] qe2eqe: Hmm. So perhaps I should restart and try to boot windows again? [09:35] aacosta, I have an option in my netgear (called wireless isolation) which prevents wireless clients to see the lan, they can only access the internet [09:35] mrmental, yeah. Try running in safe mode... [09:36] Internet port is 5765, no 8796 [09:36] just i know tracert command in xp [09:36] no one can help me?????????????????????

Lots of interesting stuff there I wish I'd known before. :) [09:50] Jimi_Neutral: I doubt it, but I'm having issues with sbackup and restore, so maybe? [09:50] Hi, I am having trouble doing a bind mount :( I have a nfs mount drive at /media/storage and I am trying to bind mount a subdir to /home/neil/.ssh... In /etc/fstab I have "/media/storage/share/neil/.ssh /home/neil/.ssh auto bind" and in /etc/rc.local I have "mount --bind /media/storage/share/neil/.ssh /home/neil/.ssh"... but nothing is happing :( what am I doing wrong? [09:50] !ask | Jimi_Neutral [09:50] Jimi_Neutral: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [09:51] kante: webcam model? [09:51] whats the ubuntu way to permanently add a variable to my PATH? i understand the export command won't save the change between reboots? [09:51] hermitmode, i bet it's not a webcam? [09:51] pedestrianentran: try sudo nano /etc/environment [09:51] pedestrianentran: try sudo nano /etc/environment then reboot [09:51] hermitmode: it's a digital cam, SOny Digital Handycam [09:52] n2diy: nothing at all :/ [09:52] Sorry i didnt realise i did ask to ask a question....i thought i only asked one.....well i need some major help with it as i have been helped up to a point but now i need more help, so it kind of needs a private chat tbh so th room doesnt get flooded [09:52] hermitmode: Hmm i was just looking in /etc/profile [09:52] n2diy: in keyboard window. i have the hotkey switch set to alt+shift. but it does not work... [09:52] kante: ohhh my bad did not read it all... [09:52] kuro: ok, right or left? [09:53] pedestrianentran, you can look on your .bashrc/.bash_profile too [09:53] n2diy: it doesn't say in the list. just alt+shift. thats it [09:53] hermitmode what d'you mean? [09:53] just launching the 'amule' in ubuntu jaunty launches no graphical interface whatsoever... Am I launching some sort of server? If so how do I get the client? [09:53] kante: sorry i thought your using a webcam? [09:54] hermitmode, no, not your bad. remember also he said bad english. [09:54] edouardp:thanks [09:54] pedestrianentran: just try sudo nano /etc/environment [09:54] d [09:54] hermitmode: nope :) It's an ordinary digital camera, pretty old though [09:54] kuro: ok, see if the right or left combination works. And/or right click on the panel where your clock is, and try add/remove from there. === ubuntu is now known as mrmental [09:54] ttmrichter: They make life easier, don't they? [09:55] hermitmode: this is where i get a bit confused. THere seem to be so many places to change it... Which is the right one/ [09:55] tenach: Easier than waiting forever for backports certainly! :D [09:55] qe2eqe: Windows is still fucked, how do I get it back to where I can view the contents of my hdd through File System? [09:55] kante, if a movie doesn't play back right in a properly configured player, it's been encoded poorly. This might be a problem with the way your camera records. [09:55] !language | mrmental [09:55] mrmental: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [09:55] ttmrichter: Backports are too slow.

Or do I have to manually synchronize video every time I record it? [09:56] XD [09:56] pedestrianentran: at the end put your additional path... [09:56] <^Phantom^> I can't determine what is making the disk keep reading/writing constantly. [09:56] <^Phantom^> Or is ubuntu supposed to constantly read/write to the hard drive? === ck is now known as Guest65764 [09:57] pedestrianentran: or you can just put your VARIABLE="" at the next linee [09:57] mrmental, mkdir /mnt/sda1 && mount ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 -o force [09:57] n2diy: IM HAVing problems now. i can:t use the backspace it became *]* ahhh alot of my keys are switched around but still no japanese [09:57] sorry roomate asleep [09:57] ^Phantom^: any torrents or ftp-servers running?

[09:57] mrmental, I have a hypothesis i'd like confirmed by a vet... but perhaps you could just get fdisk to rewrite the partition table [09:58] hey everyone, can somebody help me installing the new firefox-3.5rc3.tar.bz2?? [09:58] kuro: hmm, but can you switch between japanese and your other layout? I only play with english, and english-dvorak. [09:58] I need help for JeOS and keyboard mapping [09:58] Justin15: extract to some place run firefox [09:58] <^Phantom^> no none running [09:58] qe2eqe: I think the spacing is wrong on your mount command? And that won't format or otherwise harm the files on my hdd if I rewrite the partition table will it? [09:59] strange [09:59] jerrrooome: sounds like the actual stream is borked [09:59] aacosta, :D [09:59] mrmental: if the problem is a deleted partition, rewriting the partition table will not restore files === username_ is now known as Rods_Tiger [09:59] haha yeah i also have a imac snow [09:59] hermitmode will goto sagemode --- gtg guys... UBUNTU ROCKS HARD [09:59] mrmental, mkdir /mnt/sda1 && mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 -o force [09:59] that's what I'm afraid of [09:59] this one im using running jaunty [09:59] <^Phantom^> i think it's been doing it for a couple of days now... [09:59] could someone help me set up a new account using xchat? [09:59] however, ty [09:59] ^Phantom^: try using lsof and iostat to determine what the culprit is [10:00] <^Phantom^> k [10:00] n2diy: i dont: think i ever enable japanese keyboard, but i was messing around with one of the settings. and thats why i backspace got changed. but still no japanese [10:00] mrmental, yeah, it's possible. if you can wait till morning and back it up first, I'd do that [10:00] kbrosnan:thank you very much i didn't think about it :) [10:00] <^Phantom^> woah [10:01] <^Phantom^> lonnnnnnnng list :S [10:01] dpkg reconfigure console setup does not change my keyboard layout. Any ideas on how to change to danish qwerty keyboard latin1 [10:01] mrmental, but even if you do erase your partition table, your data should be mostly safe, although you could lose file names. [10:01] jerrrooome: np, i'm not a video person though, try asking in #mplayer #ffmpeg or #videolan [10:01] qe2eqe: Yeah I would like to back up everything that needs be and then I can try the partition table rewrite. Perhaps I will through in my Xp Recovery Cd for safe measure too [10:01] mrmental, safe as in recoverable, but not friendly. [10:01] qe2eqe: well that is good to head [10:01] kuro: ok, if you didn't enable japanese keyboard, how do you expect to switch to it? Anyway, 5am here, going to bed, gl. [10:01] **hear [10:02] <^Phantom^> i'll pastebin the iostat [10:02] qe2eqe, i'd have tried the recover cd by now =) [10:02] qe2eqe: Is there any way I can contact you in the morning?

[10:04] mrmental, another thing, sometimes the recov cd's use recov partitions, which you might have missed [10:04] mrmental, dude, type qe2, press tab, press backspace twice, type @gmail.com [10:04] hows that for a turing test? [10:05] qe2eqe: so what d you think? [10:05] qe2eqe: Well you have successfully made me feel like a newb tonight lol. But thank you for your time and help [10:05] _quit [10:05] how do i enable my keyboard session to type in another launage (IE: japanese. i have the fonts, i just can't get the typing part to work) [10:05] ^Phantom^: could you also do a "iostat -x" [10:05] <^Phantom^> sure [10:06] mrmental, well, don't consider me the high guru. edouardp has been pumping out some great moves. [10:06] hanasaki, it shouldn't ask for root's password, but rather USER's password [10:07] <^Phantom^> Daverocks: http://pastebin.com/m48c0676e [10:07] qe2eqe: well lets start at the beginning.. what file name is created where? [10:07] qe2eqe, :D [10:07] hanasaki, are you sure on an account with admin privilege? [10:07] qe2eqe: yes [10:07] ^Phantom^: is this second drive another hard drive or something like a usb stick [10:07] <^Phantom^> second drive? [10:07] <^Phantom^> I don't have any mounted... [10:08] qe2eqe: Well thank you I will shoot you an email whenever I get up and get around to backing up my files/attempting to use the recovery disk [10:08] ^Phantom^: according to that output you have two SATA devices connected and what looks like an SD card [10:08] hanasaki, I'm sorry but I don't know too much about hand tuning printers. I know the password dialog shouldn't be the end of your road [10:08] <^Phantom^> Oh, yeah SD card is insterted [10:08] mrmental, cool beans. Good luck with the neighbor. [10:08] qe2eqe: ok.. so what is the way you wuld do it? I will do that [10:09] <^Phantom^> The disk is active right now. [10:09] ^Phantom^: are you sure you don't know what the second drive could be [10:09] is anyone here good with ddrescue and can talk me through some of it. I have made a copy of the image and then ran ddrescue and i can see some errors on the terminal but i have no idea what to do next [10:09] ^Phantom^: yeah the second drive is being grinded [10:10] <^Phantom^> Fairly positive. [10:10] ^Phantom^: do a "dmesg | grep sda" and "dmesg | grep sdb" [10:10] hanasaki, you said you were using Gnome -- I don't use Gnome so I can't walk you through it. However there should be something in a settings folder about cups or printers [10:10] I liked cups better w/ the web interface lol thanks qe2eqe [10:10] <^Phantom^> okay [10:10] hanasaki, system -> administration -> printing ? [10:11] eduardo: that is where I am [10:11] <^Phantom^> Daverocks: done [10:11] ^Phantom^: what does it say?

[10:12] hi, does anyone know an apps which allow realtime voice distortion ?

[10:36] Daverocks, it has reportrd 585KB of error size but the file i need to recover is a very large lotus archive [10:36] previously it was rw------ [10:37] phoe6: it's probably not a good idea to put those permissions on the key, even while temporarily testing [10:37] Hey guys, I'm trying to play world of warcraft. running 8.10, ati 9800xt using the FGLRX drivers. when i get to the intro screen, its really choppy and is rendering incorrectly. i used the -opengl flag. basic wine install with minimal, if any configuration done [10:37] Okay, I have reverted it immediately.. as you guessed it I was just testing. [10:37] Jimi_Neutral: i assume you have tried to mount the image [10:38] phoe6: what is the command you are using to copy it [10:38] As a root, I unable to go inside .ssh directory and created a file too. [10:38] cp / mv [10:38] Daverocks, no im a total newb at this and at linux, thats why this guy was helping me from scratch [10:38] phoe6: i meant the full command but if you can't create a file in .ssh that's not good. are you sure the filesystem is mounted read-write? [10:39] hi! how do i make an application (e.g. tomboy) start when i log in to the desktop? [10:39] ph8: take a look at http://sial.org/howto/openssh/publickey-auth/ [10:39] http://paste.ubuntu.com/206106/ [10:39] i am trying to install HP F2280 All in one printing by following ubuntu wiki, i downgraded my python and now i get "warning: CUPSEXT could not be loaded. Please check HPLIP installation." when i run hp-setup [10:39] i can not find any "start this app when logging in" option in tomcat, nor any such option when right clicking the tomboy launcher [10:39] hello all, is there a way to revert by xubuntu installation right back to a clean install state? (incl. programs/drivers etc) i was doing some updates (including kernel updates) and my pc completely froze up and it has SERIOUSLY borked my system up good. im basically looking to do a fresh install minus the install xD lol. any help would be sweetsauce! [10:40] pirx system>preferences>sessions [10:40] pirx: system - preferences - startup applications [10:40] pirx you need to know the command to launch the program though [10:40] Jimi_Neutral: what did you copy exactly, an image of the entire hard drive or just one fat32/ntfs partition? [10:40] i suppose it depends on the version of ubuntu, 9.04+ is startup applications [10:41] et [10:41] phoe6: again, are you sure the filesystem is mounted read-write? can you create a file anywhere? [10:41] Daverocks, the entire drive [10:41] Daverocks, only 20GB [10:41] Veratyr9: ubuntunom: thanks! [10:41] nobody that can help with samba ? [10:41] madalin: thanks. I just check that link it does not mention about copying private keys. [10:42] Daverocks: I am checking that. [10:42] ph8: it tells you about the chmod values. [10:42] wonder if i should tell phantom about http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Xceive_XC3028/XC2028#How_to_Obtain_the_Firmware [10:42] Veratyr9: flagging wont work for some reason with WoW, you have to go into one of the WTFs and manually set it to OpenGL, also there are some registry tweaks for wine. there is a community page for ubuntu for WoW, it has all you'll evar need :) [10:42] Daverocks: It is mounted (rw) [10:42] are there any other repositories(apart from those in synaptic by default) where upgrades are available === richard is now known as Guest54731 [10:43] I still have no idea how to synchronize video and audio, captured through firewire from my Sony Digital Handcamera [10:43] phoe6: and you have no trouble creating files in other directories? say, root's home directory [10:43] Can anyone help/ [10:43] i am getting no sound after installing jaunty...can anyone help [10:43] Nope. I don't have a problem with other directories. [10:43] its only the .ssh directory which is not being allowed. [10:43] PerryArmstrong: run sudo apt-get update [10:43] kante: which app are you using for the tape capture? [10:44] gh0st; what will that do.... [10:44] even thought I am the root user in that machine, I am unable to change permissions .ssh directory too. [10:44] chocobanana: I'm not capturing tape, I'm capturing live. I use Kino [10:44] kante: uh-oh... [10:44] PerryArmstrong: it will update your system grabbing any drivers needed (Hopefully) [10:44] Hey guys, I'm trying to play world of warcraft. running 8.10, ati 9800xt using the FGLRX drivers. when i get to the intro screen, its really choppy and is rendering incorrectly. i used the -opengl flag. basic wine install with minimal, if any configuration done [10:44] kante: right, so it's streaming direct... [10:45] yeah, through 1394 [10:45] Veratyr9: flagging wont work for some reason with WoW, you have to go into one of the WTFs and manually set it to OpenGL, also there are some registry tweaks for wine. there is a community page for ubuntu for WoW, it has all you'll evar need :) [10:45] kante: audio and video out of sync [10:45] kante: do you mean you're pressing "play" on the camera, or actually filming? [10:45] gh0st; i ran that a few hours before and i never got any sound [10:45] chocobanana: terribly. Audio is about 2 seconds late [10:45] Daverocks: I connect camera by firewire and press Capture in Kino [10:45] gh0st: where is that community page? ubuntu forums? [10:45] PerryArmstrong: im not sure then mate, sorry, others can help here though [10:45] kante: ugh. Where are you playing the captured stream? Kino? VLC? [10:45] Daverocks: it doesn't write on tape [10:46] phoe6: have you checked selinux [10:46] gh0st; thanks for extending help [10:46] aha, let me check that one. [10:46] chocobanana: playing through Kino [10:46] kante: when you press "capture" in kino it automatically sends a play request to the camera through AV/C [10:46] i am getting no sound after installing jaunty...can anyone help [10:46] Veratyr9: my FF is acting up, otherwise id give you a direct link, but search in g00g ubuntu WoW and it should come up [10:46] kante: doing that works fine for me but i have a different camera [10:47] kante: what's the resolution? [10:47] hello all, is there a way to revert by xubuntu installation right back to a clean install state? (incl. programs/drivers etc) i was doing some updates (including kernel updates) and my pc completely froze up and it has SERIOUSLY borked my system up good. im basically looking to do a fresh install minus the install xD lol. any help would be sweetsauce! [10:47] chocobanana: I don't whink that resolution is necessary. You see, the Audio is being late. [10:47] gh0st: alright, thanks for heads up on the opengl flag [10:47] kante: please answer question [10:47] np :) [10:47] Just a moment [10:48] i am getting no sound after installing jaunty...can anyone help [10:48] kante: you might be able to use avidemux on it afterwards to sync the audio and video [10:48] Veratyr9: once you find that page, you'll be good 2 go, i have a very similar set-up [10:49] chocobanana: I have no idea about resolution :D but the camera is pretty old, it's a Sony Digital Handycam DCR-TRV33 [10:50] hi all. [10:50] matrix is 1 megapixel, I think [10:50] Jimi_Neutral: for a start try "sudo mount -o loop your_ntfs_img_file /mnt" [10:50] PerryArmstrong: make sure that your sound is not muted in the alsamixer, sudo alsamixer -V al [10:50] <^Phantom^> I think I destroyed the system!! :( [10:50] <^Phantom^> “”Daverocks“” [10:50] whooops [10:50] Daverocks: yeah, but it's kind of not good to synchronize the video and audio every time I record something [10:50] was scrolled waaaaaaaaaaaaay up [10:50] Daverocks, could you just tell me what that does [10:50] kante: another two quick questions. Does capturing from tape work properly? What are you computer specs? Live capture is quite demanding... [10:50] Veratyr9: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft [10:51] <^Phantom^> Daverocks: I can't boot ubuntu. I just get some BusyBOX [10:51] ^Phantom^: well it's not a good idea to remove the usb drive that's running the system while the system is in use [10:51] <^Phantom^> is there any way i can get a hold of my data [10:51] <^Phantom^> from a windows system [10:51] ^Phantom^: was your data stored on the same usb stick [10:51] <^Phantom^> then i'll just format the drive and start over [10:51] hello all, is there a way to revert by xubuntu installation right back to a clean install state? (incl. programs/drivers etc) i was doing some updates (including kernel updates) and my pc completely froze up and it has SERIOUSLY borked my system up good. im basically looking to do a fresh install minus the install xD lol. any help would be sweetsauce! [10:51] <^Phantom^> yes [10:51] Jimi_Neutral: it tries to mount the file to /mnt [10:51] <^Phantom^> and some of it I NEED [10:52] <^Phantom^> well, i do have one file uploaded to rapidshare :D [10:52] chocobanana: I'll try to capture from tape now. My computer specs are: mb ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe, Amd dual core 5200+, Ati x1950 pro [10:52] Daverocks, says no such file or directory [10:52] ^Phantom^: your data is probably still there, type "mount" in busybox [10:52] jefinc; all are unmuted [10:52] <^Phantom^> I'm on the same system [10:52] <^Phantom^> no other system to connect to this with [10:52] <^Phantom^> can i mount it from within windows? [10:52] Daverocks, we called the image ubuntu1 and hat is what i have put in but it doesnt like it [10:52] Jimi_Neutral: did you change "your_ntfs_img_file" to the actual filepath [10:52] <^Phantom^> i remember seeing a program that could mount a linux drive to windows [10:52] ^Phantom^: there is a program for Windoze called explore2fs which allows you to copy files from ext2/3 [10:52] Jimi_Neutral: it should at least find the file [10:52] <^Phantom^> :O [10:53] <^Phantom^> oh thank you so much [10:53] <^Phantom^> brb [10:53] exit [10:53] kante: and if there's a 7200 RPM HDD there (most likely) then it should be fine [10:53] Jimi_Neutral: are you in the same directory as the file [10:53] kante: do you have desktop effects enabled? [10:53] Daverocks, no im still in root at the moment [10:53] PerryArmstrong: I usually recommend this guide from the forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 [10:54] chocobanana: yeah 7200 Seagate. No effects [10:54] Jimi_Neutral: well you have to either specify the directory path in the mount command or change to the directory where "ubuntu1" is [10:54] PerryArmstrong: if that doesn't solve your problem ask back here :) I will however be gone to work in a few minutes [10:54] kante: great. let us know how did the tape capture go [10:54] chocobanana: pretty good so far [10:54] Jefinc; thanks.... [10:55] <^Phantom^> there isn't anything showing up in explore2fs :( [10:55] <^Phantom^> And I see hda7 [10:55] ^Phantom^: did you use ext4 for your install? [10:55] <^Phantom^> nothing comes up [10:55] kante: ok, maybe you may want to stop it and check if the captured video has the audio in sync [10:55] hi [10:55] <^Phantom^> ext3 [10:55] i am having problems installing flashplayer 10 [10:56] chocobanana: that's what I'm doing now =) [10:56] i used the tutorial on this site http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-install-flash-player-10.html [10:56] how can i determined what versino of ubuntu is on my server? [10:56] chocobanana: you know, It's a bit out of sync also [10:56] and i got everything installed, but the plugin does not show up in firefox [10:56] <^Phantom^> i just destroyed my data didn't i? [10:56] i got no errors [10:57] ^Phantom^: seems like it [10:57] * ^Phantom^ screams [10:57] aptitude does not indicate adobe-flashplugin is installed wrong. [10:57] any clues? [10:57] kante: hmmm.... a bit or the same? [10:57] * ^Phantom^ cries [10:57] chocobanana: though I think to check it in another player [10:57] ah [10:57] lsb-release :) [10:57] chocobanana: a bit [10:57] irocksu: I prefer the free flash plugin, might fix your problem, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [10:58] ^Phantom^: honestly i don't think so, have you tried mounting the drive in busybox [10:58] kante: yeah, check on another player [10:58] jefinc: does it work with youtube etc. [10:58] <^Phantom^> i'm not about to do that D: [10:58] irocksu: yessir :) [10:58] <^Phantom^> I'll have to reboot again. [10:58] hmmm... [10:58] * jefinc leaves for work, bye :) [10:59] ^Phantom^: and i suppose you can't stay on irc while doing that [10:59] <^Phantom^> no i can't [10:59] <^Phantom^> i have ONE computer [10:59] chocobanana: man, VLC doesn't read .kino format :D encoding needed. Ouf, so much problems [10:59] <^Phantom^> wait [10:59] Daverocks, well when we ran ddrecsue we put this in....drescue /dev/sdb /dev/ubuntu1/hdimage hdimage.log [10:59] <^Phantom^> i could try accessing it from a livecd [10:59] chocobanana: oh my mistake. [10:59] <^Phantom^> brb [10:59] jefinc: pehaps i do not have the proper repository [11:00] but it cannot find your package [11:00] Jimi_Neutral: you stored the file in /dev? [11:00] Jimi_Neutral: it looks like the file is called hdimage then [11:00] chocobanana: it doesn't seem to be out of sync in vlc [11:01] kante: then that kind of aligns with a suspicion I was having [11:01] good morning (or otherwise) [11:01] chocobanana: oh man... it's NOT of sync in VLC! =) Even the live recording! [11:01] I'm playing with x-forwarding over ssh (have it working) [11:01] hai....................... [11:01] kante: It's probably the audio system being used by Kino that is causing the problem (most likely that Pulse Audio pain [11:02] chocobanana: but there is some VERY loud noise [11:02] but does anyone know if I can use the local computer's IME (text services) on a remote x-window [11:02] yeah, probable Pulse [11:02] I don't seem to be able to the normal way [11:03] Strange sounds in recording O_o very loud and strange [11:03] would I have to install the relevant input method on the computer that's running the application? [11:04] Daverocks, so should i come out of root and od that command again, cause i just ran it and it came up with a whole list of instructions [11:04] chocobanana: strange noises.. maybe I should select an AVI output instead of Raw DV? [11:05] kante: yes, try the DV AVI type 1 [11:05] hi [11:05] do you guys know of any fee based high anon web proxy services that offer really fast / priority connectivity in the US [11:05] hi all. i have two different sized hds. i want to use the second one to mirror the content of the first hd. what would be the way to go? use dd, cp, or rsync? [11:06] kante: we also may need to change the audio device configuration in Kino preferences, but let's see how did the different DV type selection go [11:06] elementz: you should use RAID [11:06] oh, about linux software RAID [11:07] can you create one without destroying the data on the disks being used? [11:07] chocobanana: I think these noises can be also caused by charger, or whatever it is called... power cable, connected to camera [11:07] e.g. this mirror situation [11:07] irocksu: you need the multiverse option checked in your Software Sources to be able to install flashplugin-installer [11:07] rski: i know. in this case that would not be optimal. since i am using two erternal usb drives. i just need to do the mirroring this once. [11:08] so again, what would you guys recommend? rsync, dd? [11:09] kante: possible, but unlikely. It would depend how close is the charger to the camera. How did the capture using the DV type 1 go? [11:09] Jimi_Neutral: sorry, try "mount the_image_file /mnt -o loop=/dev/loop0" [11:09] chocobanana: DV AVI type 1 sounds pretty fine! No noises, all in sync [11:10] chocobanana: man, thanks a lot for your help :) [11:10] kante: fantastic! Have fun :D [11:10] I'm gonna storm youtube! [11:10] lol [11:10] Daverocks, no such file or directory [11:11] Daverocks, sorry im notmuch help am i [11:11] hm [11:11] Daverocks, do you mind if we do this in a convo cause i have to keep getting up and down from my desk to go sort out othr PC's [11:11] Daverocks, and i keep losing the conversation [11:12] Jimi_Neutral: no no that's ok, just again make sure the filepath in place of the_image_file is correct, it seemed to be /dev/ubuntu1/hdimage [11:12] Lenin_Cat: man that's a nice nick O_O [11:12] Jimi_Neutral: i won't be able to respond to you any quicker in a private conversation, and discussing it in the channel helps other people with similar problems [11:12] why thank you [11:12] Hello from Russia =) [11:13] Jimi_Neutral: also you might want to move that image out of /dev, something might accidentally delete it [11:13] Hello, I'm looking for a hand configuring my eth0 connection on 8.10 (somethings gone way wrong). Anyway its gone from not being able to leave the local network to now saying that the device is unmanaged- as a side I'm not useing DHCP but a static IP [11:13] Daverocks, it wasnt about being quicker it was just so i could keep track but np :) trying again [11:13] I've created a user and I want to lock that user down to only the home directory that I defined. It seems that I could do this by simply chmod -R 0 username /. Then chmod 700 username /home/user. Would that be the correct way to achieve this? [11:13] elementz, I have a feeling dd would work if you just want to update it now and again [11:13] but I'm no expert >< [11:13] I am using software RAID 5 [11:13] norgus: thx. ill go with rsync [11:13] but I set that up at install [11:14] Daverocks, ok i tried sudo mount /dev/ubuntu1/hdimage /mnt -o loop=/dev/loop0 and it came back with mount: you must specify the filesystem type [11:14] eeboy: when you say "lock down" do you mean you don't want them to be able to navigate outside of their home directory? [11:15] Jimi_Neutral: add "-t ntfs" to that [11:15] Daverocks: Correct [11:15] Jimi_Neutral: assuming it was ntfs and not fat32 === wet-chan is now known as wet [11:17] eeboy: it's difficult to do things like that because you have to allow the user to execute things like /bin/ls and such. nevertheless, it is possible with some workarounds, though it may be possible to break out of [11:17] Daverocks, eah it was ntfs [11:18] Daverocks, NTFS sign missins [11:18] Daverocks, sig* [11:18] eeboy: If I recall ACM competitions use rshell specifically for that purpose, I could be wrong though [11:18] they run sun servers though [11:18] eeboy: google "ssh chroot", there's a bunch of information about it [11:18] Daverocks: Thanks... will do! [11:19] Hi, I am in trouble with broken packges : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1199623 . If someone could shed some light?

[11:47] hi all [11:47] haile, do the disk integrity check then [11:47] <^Phantom^> um warning [11:47] elmo1: the S means start, and the number is the order in which it's started [11:47] k [11:47] elmo1 when do you want samba launched ? [11:47] elmo1: to change the order of a file you just rename it(example): mv S20mysql S50mysql [11:47] jerroome: after fstab loading [11:47] ok I've joked and used ext4 for my home partition. How do I revert that to ext3 to wait for better times?

[11:54] How do I turn on the gfx effects and things? [11:54] PerryArmstrong: look in the configuration of the gnome mixer [11:54] PerryArmstrong, maybe your headphone is broken [11:54] elmo1 : as far as I know, fstab is loaded through udev, so you could set the link in /etc/rcS.d/ with a number > 37 [11:54] ^Phantom^: now reboot and then do "grep sda /var/log/boot" or "grep sda /var/log/boot.log" [11:54] shadeslayer: Thanks anyway...

[12:02] nzx: Myrtti tells me that the problem is solved so i cant help you,if the problem has already been solved [12:02] so fstab isn't loaded throught udev [12:02] <^Phantom^> Daverocks: (Nothing has been logged yet.)] [12:02] urko: What do you mean by "designed for Linux?" [12:02] ^Phantom^: hum. you might be able to see sda if you do "dmesg | grep sda", since your system hasn't been running for as long as it was before [12:03] after samba entry in rcS.d is only bootmisc.sh, urandom, screen-cleanup, x11-common [12:03] shadeslayer, i'm solving it right now, I asked a second question, that's what he meant. [12:03] anyone know much about wine? [12:03] urko: ...Tux picture instead of the Windows logo? :) [12:03] nzx: ok.. [12:03] On Ubuntu 9.04 UNR, I'm not seeing the normal add/remove....I see synaptic though, but I'd prefer the simplicity of the normal add/remove...

[12:05] here are my photos from installation [12:05] Eww, RapidShare :/ [12:05] Daverocks, yeah its on its own bus on the linux obx [12:05] I don't know exactly, buttons for easyest acces to certain linux aplications [12:05] keyboards for linux [12:05] urko: please take this to offtopic.. [12:06] grawity: hmm, says it is already the newest version [12:06] elmo1 : this is an unclean solution, but you can try launching it inside /etc/rc.local [12:06] how do i see if a file is really a file or only a hardlink? [12:06] ok thnx [12:06] Bob_Dole: do you have /usr/bin/gnome-app-install? [12:06] ....Never mind, it's in accessories. How is that an accessory, though? [12:06] just add /etc/init.d/samba start before the exit line [12:06] remoteCTRL1: you can't, hardlinks _are_ ifiles. [12:06] (repost, sorry, it has been a while) Hi - I have a nameserver in Gentoo but it's ancient - apart copying from /var/bind and bind.conf (assuming this is correct), is there anything else i need to do assuming bind is installed on ubuntu (server 8.04.2)? [12:06] remoteCTRL1: *files [12:06] ok [12:07] ^Phantom^: so you have one 120 GB drive and one 250 GB drive? which one is the usb one / the one ubuntu is running off? [12:07] rc55: #ubuntu-server [12:07] or shall i better type RESTART?? [12:07] <^Phantom^> 250 [12:07] grawity: come again? [12:07] Jimi_Neutral: ok, what has it appeared as under /dev? [12:07] so what do you think about it ? [12:07] anyone got any ideas why when i run a program in wine in fullscreen, when i exit it ubuntu completely freezes? [12:07] shadeslayer, http://pastebin.com/d78491806 [12:07] Daverocks, umm [12:07] elmo1 : /etc/rc.local is executed at the end of all /etc/rc*.d with S99 [12:07] shadeslayer: thanks [12:07] remoteCTRL1: all "files" are hardlinks to inodes [12:07] remoteCTRL1: hardlinks are files. Even the original file is technically a hardlink. (_Sym_links, however, are just pointers) [12:07] <^Phantom^> Daverocks: The 120GB drive stays unmounted unless I need data from it. It's the internal drive, which contains Windoze. [12:07] ok [12:08] Daverocks, how would i know [12:08] DrOnline: so there's basically no way to distinguis if i have 500GB flying arround redundantly?? [12:08] Daverocks, and i dont mean that in a nasty way :) [12:08] but is restart not better? cause it starts somewhere anyways [12:08] shadeslayer, sorry ignore that, it's the wrong error message [12:08] make sure the file ends with exit [12:08] ok [12:08] exit 0 [12:08] <^Phantom^> hey i found my water, thought i had lost it :D [12:08] <^Phantom^> one good thing came out of tonight :D [12:08] Jimi_Neutral: do a "tail /var/log/messages" [12:08] remoteCTRL1: hardlinks are pointing to the same data, to the same location in disk. If you have a 10 MB file, and you hardlink it, you don't lose any space. [12:08] nzx: im going off....need to do some work.. [12:09] hello [12:09] anyone got any ideas why when i run a program in wine in fullscreen, when i exit it ubuntu completely freezes? [12:09] what is metalink [12:09] brb [12:09] any idea about metalink [12:09] chunks, i dont know [12:09] !metalink [12:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about metalink [12:09] metalink can download files, you can read it on wikipedia [12:09] your a metalink [12:09] Daverocks, cannot open [12:09] it downloads from http, web, frp, bittorrent all in same === JEEBsv_ is now known as JEEBsv [12:10] grawity: that is the part that i know, what i don't know is why rsnapsot takes 20 minutes to backup like 10 gig to my second hdd if almost nothing has been changed... [12:10] Jimi_Neutral: sudo [12:10] <^Phantom^> Daverocks: should I jsut reinstall? [12:10] remoteCTRL1: lots of math to checksum files and compare [12:10] i wish i could sudo apt-get agoddamn solution [12:10] thx you all [12:10] Daverocks, cannot open var/log/messages no such file or directory [12:10] grawity: so i had the suspicion that it doesnt really do hardlinks but REALLY copies everything again.. [12:11] remoteCTRL1: every file has to be read, and checksummed, then compared to the checksum from the last backup, etc. [12:11] remoteCTRL1: 10 minutes is nothing, imagine doing it on a 486. [12:11] lowl [12:11] elmo1 : brb ?? [12:11] ^Phantom^: usb is much slower than sata so it wouldn't surprise me if a usb drive is grinding a lot, especially if it's the system drive [12:11] <^Phantom^> Oh? [12:12] remoteCTRL1: rsnapshot cannot know if two files are hardlinks, either.... and, there's the "file comparison" part - it must somehow find out what has been changed. [12:12] Daverocks, do i have to change directory? [12:12] Dulak: well actually i lied; takes more like 20 minutes and that is a problem as i am supposed to do hourly backups of ~15 machines... [12:12] Jimi_Neutral: absolute path, /var/log/messages not var/log/messages [12:12] grawity: yeah i do get that... [12:12] <^Phantom^> Do you think it's been doing it from the beginning and I never noticed it until now? [12:12] ^Phantom^: i don't know, have you been paying attention from the beginning? :P personally i haven't had much experience running distros off usb drives [12:13] is it possible to create or setup a user who is only allowed to use the firefox and nothing else? [12:13] <^Phantom^> no i haven't [12:13] <^Phantom^> i noticed it one day when my screen went gray [12:13] ^Phantom^: did you put a swap partition on that usb drive? [12:13] grawity: Dulak; yet still its a fujitsu siemens workstation with 2 dualcore xeons, wth is taking so long?:D [12:13] <^Phantom^> the drive and wifi lights were both flickering constantly [12:13] Daverocks, my apologies........ok lots of messages from today all "ubuntu1 - - MARK - -" [12:13] remoteCTRL1: I have no idea but iostat is a good place to start looking [12:13] <^Phantom^> I couldn't ungrey the screen so i hardpowered [12:14] Dulak: good point, thanks for the hint! [12:14] Jimi_Neutral: you could look through all of /var/log/messages but it's a bit tiresome; is the drive mounted? if so, type "mount" [12:15] jerroome, still won`t work [12:15] <^Phantom^> I don't see any reduction in performance... [12:15] but ill stop trying [12:15] jerroome, thanks for your help!!! [12:15] ^Phantom^: i echo Dulak's question [12:15] <^Phantom^> huh? [12:15] <^Phantom^> oh [12:16] ^Phantom^: did you put a swap partition on that usb drive? [12:16] <^Phantom^> not that i know of.... [12:16] <^Phantom^> oh [12:16] ^Phantom^ look at /etc/fstab and see [12:16] Daverocks, ok just tpyed mount, came up with a shed load of info [12:16] <^Phantom^> i installed ubuntu with only that drive inserted [12:16] <^Phantom^> so i might have [12:16] remoteCTRL1: depending on how desperate you are, you could use ls -i and a script to make sure you've not got redundant data instead of proper hard links [12:17] and theoretically your backup system could get that information too... [12:17] DrOnline: err... i guess i am not that desperate:D [12:17] ^Phantom^: find out, swap on usb is horrible, and could cause the problems you are describing [12:17] Jimi_Neutral: sorry, i know you pasted it before, but what was the original ddrescue command you used [12:18] remoteCTRL1: fair enough :P [12:18] <^Phantom^> um i don't see fstab [12:18] <^Phantom^> no /etc/fstab [12:18] ^Phantom^: it's in /etc [12:18] <^Phantom^> oh there it is [12:18] Daverocks, well when we ran ddrecsue we put this in....drescue /dev/sdb /dev/ubuntu1/hdimage hdimage.log [12:18] <^Phantom^> "fstab" 480 bytes [12:19] ^Phantom^: it's a text file, open it and see if it shows a swap partition on that usb drive [12:19] Jimi_Neutral: do "mount | grep sdb" to check whether it's mounted or not [12:19] Jimi_Neutral: we'll want it to be unmounted before we touch it [12:19] <^Phantom^> oh [12:19] <^Phantom^> swap [12:19] <^Phantom^> UUID=07c37542-e1e1-4d67-a64b-c58ccd31c2c0 none swap [12:20] ^Phantom^: comment out the line for that swap partition then reboot, or run "sudo swapoff" to turn it off [12:20] <^Phantom^> Just # in front of it right? [12:20] ^Phantom^: yes [12:21] gawd this srnapshot via ssh pubkey is rocking my nervers... [12:21] <^Phantom^> okay [12:21] Daverocks, /dev/sdb1 on /media/disk type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096 [12:21] ^Phantom^: which partition is the swap on? your previous iostat output indicated that sdb1 has all the activity [12:21] <^Phantom^> um...with the -a trigger? [12:21] <^Phantom^> it's still grinding away :S [12:22] Jimi_Neutral: so if it's mounted in gnome or similar then unmount it from there [12:23] Daverocks, its a kde desktop, how would i unmount....just type unmount and then the path? [12:24] <^Phantom^> Well, I at least feel better knowing what is going on. [12:24] how can i downgrade libdrm2? [12:24] Jimi_Neutral: well you can unmount it no matter what desktop you're using with "unmount /dev/sdb1", or in kde4 you can unmount it by clicking on the computer icon in the taskbar and eject on the relevant drive, or in kde3 from media:/ in konqueror [12:24] is it possible to create or setup a user who is only allowed to use the firefox and nothing else? [12:24] <^Phantom^> Thank you thus far. :) [12:25] ^Phantom^: which partition is your swap on? [12:25] HEEEEEEEELP!!! I HAE LIBDRM2 from PPA!! AND NOW MY COMPUTER CRASH!! HOW CAN I PUT OLD FROM REPO!!? [12:25] miik, please lose the caps [12:25] <^Phantom^> it said something about 8 [12:26] ok sry men, i get angry [12:26] <^Phantom^> Daverocks: lemme look, please [12:26] Jimi_Neutral: ^Phantom^: i need to go in ~5 mins [12:26] Daverocks, wouldnt find the command "unmount" [12:26] <^Phantom^> miik, whatever you do don't unplug the drive in anger [12:26] <^Phantom^> i did that and i regretted it [12:26] Jimi_Neutral: sorry i meant "umount" [12:26] ok [12:27] Daverocks, ok i tpyed it and it just went to the command line again, i assume thatmeans its unmounted [12:27] hi how do i set up advanced desktop effects [12:27] What is meant by "official tags" in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/ekiga? [12:27] Daverocks, but i see you have to go [12:27] Daverocks, ty for all ur help :) [12:27] Jimi_Neutral: should be, check "mount | grep sda" again [12:27] Jimi_Neutral: sorry sdb [12:28] hi Daverocks [12:28] hi [12:28] How may I record wave out ("What you hear") in Ubuntu Jaunty? [12:28] Daverocks, yeah done it, when to the next command prompt [12:28] Daverocks, nothing showing [12:28] wbc: What do you mean by "wave out"? [12:28] <^Phantom^> Daverocks: sda5 apparently [12:29] hi Daverocks [12:29] hi how do i set up advanced desktop effects [12:29] Jimi_Neutral: that's a good thing. now you'd want to do something like "ntfsclone --output ntfs_drive.img /dev/sdb1" [12:29] Wave out, as in what is playing/coming out of the speakers [12:29] bullguard4 [12:29] abhinash, install ccsm [12:29] Hey guys, I'm having an issue with gnome-panel. It will stop responding every so often, and then after a few minutes it works again and all the clicks are registered at once. If anyone knows a fix that'd be great. I'm running nVidia 180.44, 9800GT, dual monitors, Jaunty Desktop, and standard everything else. Installed it via Add/Remove. [12:29] !ccsm > abhinash [12:29] bullgard4 [12:29] abhinash, please see my private message [12:29] Jimi_Neutral: be sure to note which directory you're in so that you know where that .img is being saved to [12:30] Jimi_Neutral: then you _should_ be able to do "mount -t ntfs -o loop ntfs_drive.img /mnt" [12:30] jerroome, still wont work [12:30] ^Phantom^: yeah i assume sda1 is the partition with your root filesystem, _that's_ the one that's grinding [12:31] Syka: Try watching: tail -f /var/log/messages (In tty6 maybe) [12:31] Daverocks, but is that doing what ddrescue has already done? [12:31] <^Phantom^> eep [12:31] <^Phantom^> well [12:31] usr13_: Will that work in a normal gnome-terminal? I'm trying to do an essay too :P [12:31] <^Phantom^> it isn't bothering me so much now [12:32] Jimi_Neutral: some things different, ddrescue copied your entire drive, ntfsclone is just copying that ntfs partition. that filename was misleading, i meant something like ntfs_partition.img [12:32] jerroome, [12:32] Syka: And you might monitor tty8 [12:32] jerroome, is the problem maybe that i must be root to restart??? [12:32] Jimi_Neutral: also if you use the --save-image option with ntfsclone, it saves it in its own format but then you can't use it with mount [12:32] daverocks well that whole drive is ntfs [12:32] so... someone here know how to disable passing of xorg's alt+mouse shortcuts to a wine application [12:33] usr13_: Huh? [12:33] Syka: Some higher one, tty8 maybe, you should find system info as it happens. === Elm is now known as elmo|idle [12:33] Jimi_Neutral: no, the whole drive consists of one ntfs partition that might occupy the entire drive, but copying the entire drive copies other information like the MBR and partition table [12:33] Syka: Ctrl-Alt-F6 log in and do tail -f /var/log/messages [12:33] Jimi_Neutral: mount can only deal with partitions [12:34] <_Fauchi95_> Hello! Can you say me under what license I can use the icons "gnome" and "human"? [12:34] Jimi_Neutral: anyway i have to go :( [12:34] Syka: Ctrl-Alt-F8 and just read. Or 9 or 10 or 11 etc... wherever you find it. [12:34] hello [12:34] ^Phantom^: i have to go, good luck with your problem [12:34] Can anyone here help me get my VTs to work? [12:34] Daverocks, ahhh ok i see, so once i have mounted it i can look at it visually as well using the gui? AN ok, ty for all your help :) [12:34] <^Phantom^> thankies [12:34] usr13_: Oh yes, but will it really matter in tty7? It doesn't need to be real-time, exactly. [12:34] Jimi_Neutral: yes hopefully [12:34] Jimi_Neutral: ^Phantom^: no problem === SiLveR is now known as Guest91506 [12:35] cya guys [12:35] <^Phantom^> Thankies :D === Guest91506 is now known as Silverinho [12:35] Syka: I don't know, but you need to look for clues somewhere. [12:35] ah. [12:35] Syka: It's just a suggestion. (Use it, untill / unless you get a better one.) [12:35] usr13_: Ah, thanks :) === Silverinho is now known as Siefer === Siefer is now known as Seifer [12:36] hello. [12:36] Syka: Do you see anything on tty8? [12:36] usr13_: nope, nothing's happening [12:37] i need some help plz.. [12:37] !ask | Seifer [12:37] Seifer: 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. :-) [12:37] Syka: Maybe system resources are going away too fast. try top on tty5 [12:37] wbc: Applications > Sound and Video > Sound Recorder > Record from Input=Capture. [12:37] oki, :) im new here sorry [12:37] how's kde4 doin now-a-days?

[12:38] usr13_: Highly doubt that, I've got a quad-core, 4GB of fast ram and a oc'd gpu. My system monitor applet is basically invisible === xomas is now known as xomas_ [12:38] Syka: See if you are dangerously close to maxing out the system. [12:38] Syka: How much memory?

[12:39] miik, that is not appropriate for here [12:39] Syka: I really don't know, just guessing what could cause such behaviour. Just guessing... hoping someone else will chime in here...

[12:40] bazhang, ok [12:40] so i take it is that is is window [12:40] usr13_: Hahah, yeah. All my research ended up with a dead-end launchpad report [12:40] so you dodge the question [12:40] miik, stay on topic [12:40] ok [12:40] miik: Well, you don't get viruses in Ubuntu. xD [12:41] bazhang... u can help me =/ ?¿ [12:41] miik: Do not waste your time or ours.

You can usually change that by pulling out the power and plugging back in [12:44] but how do i know number of ips on my isp ?¿ [12:44] eh? [12:44] is only 1ip ?¿ [12:44] Seifer: You usually have one IP per internet connection [12:44] Seifer: However, your computer can have hundreds of "local" [12:44] business lines are the exception [12:45] Seifer: "local" IP's, depending on your NIC's [12:45] Seifer, why do you need to change your IP [12:45] I am having trouble adjusting the sounds on the login screen on my computer. What it the theme sound that you hear when you sucessfully log into Ubuntu? I seem to have lost it mistakenly.

[12:48] Noobbb: That's because your connected to a 100MB device [12:48] Seifer, worst english ive seen... [12:48] yes i know [12:48] Syka: I tried messing with the sound but lost the name of the intial login. I do not remember the name of it and want it back. It is what you hear when you normally log into Ubuntu. [12:48] metalfan_: Not everyone here speaks english as their first language, try to be nice.

[12:51] remoteCTRL1: good to know, though I have no dm-crypt experience, so I don't have any neat hacks to speed up your backups [12:52] it starts to burn and fails [12:52] Ubee: Just go to System > Preferences > Startup Applications and add that as a startup app [12:52] theres a mobile edition of ubuntu apparently, i'd like to try it on my virtualbox under windows,would i only need the "usb image" ? [12:52] DrOnline: well there wont be any... crypt is consuming loads of cpu capacity during backups, i see no way arround this... [12:53] Is there any person who knows about PSP Homebrew? [12:53] jmartelatpapirux: This is for Ubuntu, not PSP homebrews. sorry [12:53] usr13, thx [12:53] aytekin: All I know about aria2 is what apt-cache has told me, "apt-cache search aria2 - High speed download utility [12:54] metalfan_: NP [12:54] Yes, but I prefer wget.

[12:57] dmesg says error on /dev/ttyUSB1 and 2 - on startup, it is USB0 and USB1 [12:57] but 100mbps is still normal [12:58] i am trying to install aria2 [12:58] cyberghoser1: Most consumer hubs/routers are. But trust me, there is a MASSIVE difference when your talking servers. [12:58] aytekin: Are you sure it is not in the repositories?

[14:14] Kartagis, it is not an official plugin [14:14] !ru | lord_vavan [14:14] lord_vavan: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [14:14] i couldn't find it ther [14:14] mebitek, it still has the problem [14:14] d1gital, check your /etc/shadow file [14:14] here is project but there is no repo afaik [14:14] # cat /etc/passwd | grep rootrnroot:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash [14:14] i think that u must find something bout blender and intel cards [14:14] http://sourceforge.net/projects/autoprofile/ [14:14] ^Phantom^: open synaptic its in there and called mythtv-backend [14:14] mebitek, some games are good. most quake [14:14] hello, i'm nqe [14:15] <^Phantom^> it came up with mythtv-theme-mythbuntu [14:15] d1gital: btw, 'grep root /etc/passwd' is better than using cat | [14:15] <^Phantom^> legend2440: is that the one I uncheck? [14:15] mebitek, i don't unstand "bout" [14:15] does 'make' has some sort of cache it can use? [14:15] 'make' does nothing like that [14:15] d1gital, do you see a 500 user in there? [14:15] but ccache might be what you want [14:16] it should [14:16] why should it? it's make. [14:16] matrixblue: grep 500 /etc/passwd returns nothing. [14:16] <^Phantom^> oh there it is [14:16] <^Phantom^> thankies [14:16] doesn't make check availability of files & settings? [14:16] takes ling time checking stuff [14:17] tscmga (bout = about)ù [14:17] make does what the makefiles tell it todo. [14:17] d1gital, sudo cat /etc/shadow [14:17] <^Phantom^> oh my gosh thank you so much, legend2440 !!!! [14:17] tscmga: your card is working well with all other apps? [14:17] <^Phantom^> w00t [14:17] nq1: things like autoconf and configure scripts do this. [14:17] matrixblue: no 500 at all. [14:17] en.quake, and all quake are ok [14:17] understand, wouldn't it be handy if it would standardize some checks, hash them & query the hashes? [14:17] ^Phantom^: your welcome [14:17] if I change tray icon (sound icon) should it update automatically in panel or I must logout/login? [14:18] so i think that is a blender probleme my friend [14:18] tremouse ,nextize, cube [14:18] all ok [14:18] The purpose of the make utility is to determine automatically which pieces of a large pro‐ gram need to be recompiled, and issue the commands to recompile them. [14:18] ur ptoblem is with full screen blender? [14:18] (from man make) [14:18] I am trying to add my GPG Key to Evolution so that i can sign and encrypt mails. but when i try to send one email it says me that it failed because the public key was not found that i may need to choose different options, wtf? [14:18] <^Phantom^> The constant grinding is GONE! I'm so happy. [14:18] matrixblue: i guess i'll just chown it to root and see what happens. it's not really a big deal, logcheck's just complaining about it [14:18] <^Phantom^> Goodnight! [14:18] I do understand. [14:19] but it takes long time doing it's initial checks [14:19] d1gital, okay my guess is someone wanted to use chmod and used chown by mistake [14:19] but a nehe lesson with sdl not ok . and a new game , not ok . blender is running is window model [14:19] i am using fvwm [14:19] en. i change to gnome , [14:19] * tscmga bye [14:19] can you try full screen mode and look if probleme still exist? [14:19] matrixblue: probably what happened.. =] although the group is set to 501 =S [14:19] nq1: what initial checks does make do? [14:20] and if u can, try to disable all eycandy as compiz or something like that [14:20] since I suspect loads of these checks are similar in other programs, would it not save some time to standardize the check, create a hash of the check & then hash the hashes & then query the hash, to see which conditions do not match. [14:20] I just installed Ubuntu on a machine here with an nforce2 chipset for the sound I believe, and sound seems to be mostly working, except sometimes when quitting or starting sound based apps you'll get loud static for a few seconds. anything I can try? [14:21] like: checking for gawk... gawk [14:21] checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes [14:21] checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no [14:21] checking for gcc... gcc [14:21] nq1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:21] nq1: that looks like ./configure output to me. [14:21] nq1 try to reconfigure alsa [14:21] wow, how stupid can I be.. [14:22] hi, how can i umount /var in ubuntu server ? [14:22] i tryed umount /var and i get device busy [14:22] nq1 from terminal try: sudo alsaconf [14:22] i killed all process i see that use /var [14:22] and with lsof too [14:22] x-ip: is /var on its own partition? [14:22] x-ip: try umount /var === NIdYa_ is now known as cE-Cupu [14:22] yes, /var is in its own partition === cE-Cupu is now known as Ce_cupu [14:22] i need to umount it so i can change the fs from that partition [14:23] and i'm by ssh [14:23] x-ip: umount /var [14:23] Hey, I'm trying to install ubuntu on an HP xw4600 Workstation for a part-time programmer to use at work. I've tried Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Xubuntu and they all freeze after inputing username and password. Tried Fedora 10 from a CD and it wouldn't even get as far as the install screen. Suggestions? [14:23] umont /var gives me 'Device Busy' === Ce_cupu is now known as cWe_cupU [14:23] so i do not kill all processes [14:24] x-ip: try sudo lsof| grep "/var" [14:24] well, i did lsof | grep "/var*" and get 0 results [14:24] to check which process uses ur var [14:24] yep i did it hehe [14:24] that's why i dont find nothing that is using /var [14:24] sobersabre: No this is only for desktops, you have to buy a new laptop with some real graphics card in it. [14:24] try to do umount -f /var [14:24] Go with Geforce, stable and performs well [14:24] i tryed too [14:24] to force it [14:24] Question: I used to be able to keep y system time synced with atomic clocks through ntp, which was a default option in Feisty/Hardy, but I cannot see it in Jaunty, where is it, or is it not there anymore? === SiDi_ is now known as SiDi [14:25] I have a couple of questions :) First off... is there ANY way for me to modify a install CD or DVD of Ubuntu 9.04 to have nvidias proprietary graphics driver enabled when booting? I can't get into the desktop on my best computer (the primary system if you will).... it has a Geforce 9600GT 512 MB card. [14:25] so i think that u can restart ubuntu in from cd and make changes form live [14:25] Dekko: reconstructor? [14:25] Question: I am running Ubuntu Server on a VirtualBox on my XP windows, is it possible to enable services like ssh, dns, apache to the outside world from the VirtualBox? [14:25] that's the problem ... i'm a lot of km in distance from the box x'D [14:25] nq1: make is not doing any of those checks. [14:25] Intrep|d: sure!!! just bridege ur card [14:26] x-ip: damn [14:26] ok, im getting really really mad with linux/ubunt, i cant change the usplash... ive done all i can imagine, and the only one i can display is default uplash.... can some one give me a hand?? [14:26] mebitek use bridge instead of NAT ? [14:26] Intrep|d: yes.. but you might get more help for that in #vbox [14:26] I am attempting to upgrade to grub2.. sadly the ubuntu upgrade script made a mess so would anyone be able to look at my edited menu.1st please before I reboot to make sure I will still be able to log in again! http://pastebin.com/f66d81456 [14:26] Okay thanx [14:26] how do i enable ntp in jaunty? used to be a default option in hardy [14:27] So, any suggestions on my workstation issue? Trying to install Ubuntu on an HP xw 4600 Workstation but it locks up/freezes after login. [14:27] mebitek: I could not rotate desktop panel to its orignal place [14:27] x-ip: does shutting down syslogd help at all? (indeed, shutting down all daemons that will write a log file...) [14:27] igneousquill, report a bug against this please [14:27] Intrep|d: yes [14:27] x-ip: i have a solution but is really dangerous [14:28] x-ip: what you want to do is slightly awkward over an ssh connection. normally, you'd bring the system down to single-user mode, but that will just log you off :-) [14:28] xteejx, I will later today. I guess this means there's no fix. [14:28] x-ip: u must create a new volume that is wich one will take new /var [14:28] igneousquill, havent a clue tbh, have you goolgled around and searched on launchpad for a workaround? when is it failing, at what part? [14:29] igneousquill: check this out and see if there's anything there that will help.. http://www.google.com/linux?hl=en&q=hp+xw+4600+ubuntu&btnG=Search [14:29] x-ip: copy with cp -avfr * all /var in new one and after u must chan ge address in /etc/fstab [14:30] mebitek, i'm doing that but with rsync [14:30] mwas: i do not know... it do not work for me to [14:30] ok good x-ip [14:30] i created mkdir /var1 [14:30] rsync -av ./var /var1 [14:30] after u make it u must restar machine and pray to god [14:30] var1 is a new partition? [14:30] but i cant umount the /var :,( [14:30] nop [14:30] var1 is a backup from /var [14:31] its a directory [14:31] ok [14:31] x-ip: but /var will be unmounted after rebooting the machine [14:31] with /var1 as new var directory [14:31] if u change well in /etc/fstab [14:31] yep mebitek u are right, i did that way :) [14:32] i rebooted the machine [14:32] all in order now [14:32] but seems it's 'impossible' to umount /var while the os is running ... or i keep with that question [14:33] yes it is impossibile [14:33] well, having xfs on /var [14:33] x-ip, you can't unmount a used FS [14:33] nice work ^.^'' [14:33] igneousquill: read this under OS they mention Red HaT http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF06a/12454-12454-296719-307907-296721-3429268.html [14:34] hi [14:34] have no idea [14:34] x-ip: works? [14:35] mebitek, i don't know it is the problem of blender or the graphic driver [14:35] I just installed Ubuntu on a machine here with an nforce2 chipset for the sound I believe, and sound seems to be mostly working, except sometimes when quitting or starting sound based apps you'll get loud static for a few seconds. anything I can try? [14:35] i think that is a blender probleme [14:35] if was a card probleme i think that u cannot be able to play some 3d games as u do [14:35] pv2b: try to reconbfigure alsa [14:36] sooo, ./configure doesn't that use a cache? [14:36] nq1: what? [14:36] mebitek: how would I do that? [14:36] sudo alsaconfig [14:36] Hi! Is there a command-line command I can run to hibernate rather than shut down? E.g. "sleep 60m && hibernate" or something like that? [14:36] sudo: alsaconfig: command not found [14:37] kwtm: pm-hibernate [14:37] mebitek: well ./configure according to the help it has "--cache-file=config.cache" [14:37] grawity: Thank you, will try. [14:37] nq1: excuse but i do not remember what are u doing!!! [14:38] mebitek: ^ there is no alsaconfig program on my system (jaunty ubuntu directly installed from cd) [14:38] nq1, configure from autoconf does cache configure options, not that it helps much [14:38] привет [14:38] помогите сменить локаль [14:38] dimm: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:38] !ru | dimm [14:38] dimm: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [14:38] pv2b: excuse me alsaconf [14:38] mebitek: no such program exists either [14:38] sorry, forgot add '-ru' [14:38] try to install alsa-utils [14:39] grawity: You know if pm-hibernate works with Kubuntu (KDE)? I'm using 8.04 with KDE3 (not the newfangled KDE4) [14:39] mebitek: already installed and latest version [14:39] pv2b: i think taht u must have alsaconf utility [14:39] if u have alsa u must have alsaconf [14:39] kwtm: I don't knonw if it _exists_ in 8.04 (I have 9.04 here), but if it does exist, it should work no matter what you use - KDE, GNOME, or even fwm [14:40] mebitek, it's working :) [14:40] (*twm) [14:40] mebitek: well... what can I say... I don't. all i know is I've installed ubuntu direct from the CD. i haven't done anything special to the sound. [14:40] grawity: Thanks, will try. [14:40] pv2b: try /usr/bin/set-default-soundcard [14:40] x-ip: nice!!!! [14:40] joaopinto: tried using cache but it still goes through all the checks [14:41] pv2b: have u got alsabase too? [14:41] pv2b, try alsamixer in the terminal and see if you have some settings jacked up to high [14:41] nq1, like I said, that cache does not help much [14:41] isn there a better version / tool then? [14:42] pv2b: http://semola.cuneo.linux.it/pipermail/forum/attachments/20060923/3fca3625/alsaconf-0001.obj this an alsaconf script try to use that [14:42] mebitek: no set-default-soudcard either. [14:42] nq1, erm, what are you trying to achieve ? [14:42] I tried to gain some speed. nice to know when I have to rerty, over [14:42] Halitech: i think you misunderstand my problem - sometimes after quitting applications; and also just before the "you have logged in" sound, i get a few seconds of static [14:42] Halitech: otherwise the sound is perfectly ifne [14:43] mebitek, please do not suggest to run a random alsaconf script, because it was not tested/developed for the alsa version of the user, it may cause more problems than it helps [14:43] it is not random joaopinto it is original [14:43] pv2b, possible its still something too high causing the speakers to give static, just a suggestion [14:44] what last stable kernel for etch? [14:44] i'll take a look. right now I'm running the system with a usb sound card plugged in instead to see if that solved the problem. i'll have to reboot using the original sound card again. i doubt that's the problem though, really [14:44] nq1, the ./configure command is part of the compile process for whatever you are building, you can't change it [14:44] hi ,, i have problem ,, i have hd external vfat format , i cant write or copy from to it or to from it , i try to copy on the konsole it give me Read-only file system [14:45] Heho, chown it? [14:45] you do NOT chown a 'vfat' filesystem [14:45] i try [14:45] lol [14:45] deany, you can't chown on vfat ! [14:45] you mount it with the proper options. [14:45] sorry [14:45] i mount [14:46] or run that ntfs-config tool and check the 'allow users write access' option perhaps. [14:46] nothing happen [14:46] dimm, try asking on a debian related channel.. [14:46] Dr_Willis: er, vfat is not ntfs. [14:46] grawity: it does the same setting for both. [14:46] :\ it vfat how come ntfs work on it [14:46] mm [14:46] Hey everyone. I'm working on tethering my ubuntu laptop to my cellphone via bluetooth. I can get it all connected and working, and can ping google over the tethered connection and all that, but firefox thinks it's offline -- looks like network manager doesn't know about the interface or something? Anyone know how I can fix this? [14:46] Heho: Did you mount it using the 'mount' command, or was it done automatically? [14:46] dimm, I think it was 2.6.24 but I'm not completely sure [14:46] that tool enables some options for the HAL auto mounting stuff. i belive. [14:46] joaopinto, :) [14:47] Halitech, thank [14:47] i use commend and also automatically mount it [14:47] flithm1, I believe the is a firefox config setting to didable the NM detection, but I don't remember :\ [14:47] disable [14:47] what i do , umount then mount it [14:47] so nothing happen :\ [14:47] joaopinto: ooh interesting okay thanks [14:47] Heho: when using the 'mount' command, use the 'rw' option: -o rw [14:47] flithm1, you have to set up a default route and set resolv.conf to resolve names [14:47] Heho: do one or the other.. you can get things very confused if you remount the same filesystem several times. [14:47] wite [14:47] mdm: but he can already ping Google. [14:47] /dev/sdb1 on /media/HD-CEU2 type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,uid=1000,utf8,shortname=mixed) [14:47] for vfat i think one has to use the proper umask= or uid= options, not -o rw. [14:48] mdm: which means routing works, and name lookup works. [14:48] flithm1, try http://bogdan.org.ua/2008/07/19/gnome-networkmanager-firefox-iceweasel-3-starting-in-offline-mode.html [14:48] mdm: resolv.conf is working fine, and routing appears to work (i can ping google)? [14:48] Heho: Hmm ... and root can't write either? [14:48] yes [14:48] grawity, firefox does not rely on netowrk manger to run, only that it has a default route and can resolve [14:48] Is there some way I can capture the file from mms://win.playstream.com/stanthony/windowsmedia/SOD/1429.wma ? [14:48] joaopinto: alternately is there a way to get network manager to detect the interface? [14:48] usr13: Maybe some browser plugin? [14:49] Heho: did you even try with just the 'defaults' option? and the uid=1000 is the uid of the user you are trying to acccess the drive with? not some other user? [14:49] flithm1, no idea :\ [14:49] try to use wicd as network manager [14:49] mdm: you suggested setting up a default route and configuring resolv.conf - and since ping already works, both route and lookup should be working. [14:49] There are two of these files I'd like to save. [14:49] usr13_: theres a 'streamripper' tool i recall. [14:49] yes [14:49] i try [14:49] i try chown , chmod , fsck , every thing almost [14:49] :\ nothing happen [14:49] mebitek: I tried wicd before but it screws up my vpn connection some how, so I was unable to use it :( [14:49] Dr_Willis: Tnx [14:50] flithm1: try to use wicd network manager!!! [14:50] Heho, pastebin your mount [14:50] i mean, the "mount" output === BENGL is now known as bengl [14:50] do u got it [14:50] Heho, pastebin, not paste on me :) [14:51] !pastebin | Heho [14:51] Heho: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [14:51] hello [14:51] http://paste.ubuntu.com/206269/ look [14:52] is there an image editing package...that with tell the color tag of something [14:52] FloridaGuy: color 'tag' of somthing.. is a little vague/oddly stated [14:52] FloridaGuy, you mean to get the color RGB values from a picture ? [14:53] just use gimp :) ? [14:53] yesterday it work but to today i don`t know what happen :\ , i think it had some flu :x [14:53] many color selector dialogs have a 'eyedropper' you canuse to click on a color anywhere on the screen and see its rgb values. [14:54] how do i reset the root password on ubuntu ? and are there any pitfalls ? [14:54] morning. what's the best way to upgrade an installation of ruby i made via apt-get. there's a recent DoS update i require and would like to cause as little trauma to my system as possible. [14:54] !root | zax1 [14:54] zax1: 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 [14:54] zax1: it's not set in the first place :-) [14:54] yeah...takeing a usplash theme..useing the image in splashy..and wanted to set the progressbar..color [14:54] rski, if you lost the admin privilege somehow, boot from recovery, or recovery on the cd, and add your user to the admin group [14:55] joaopinto: do u got the web site (paste) ? [14:55] but if there is a root password already, how do i reset it ? [14:55] Heho, please provide the pastebin url on the channel [14:55] its a production server that the admin for it left [14:55] we need in [14:55] http://paste.ubuntu.com/206269/ look [14:55] i provide it before [14:55] :\ [14:55] zax1, just boot into rescue mode and change it's password [14:55] !who | Heho [14:55] Heho: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [14:55] zax1: boot live cd , or go to recovery console.. set new passwlrd.. [14:56] zax1: i forget how to 'unset' it from the commandline so its back to ubuntu standards :) [14:56] ok [14:56] joaopinto: too bad, i was hoping someone created some code to speed up ./configure [14:56] Dr_Willis: zax1: "sudo passwd -d" will do that for ya :-) [14:57] nq1, you dont usually need to run configure multiple times, you just need to "make" [14:57] sipior: one of those commands i never need to do. :) [14:57] nq1: the only time you rerun configure, is if you want to change the default options or somthing.. [14:57] Dr_Willis: yeah, doesn't come up very often [14:57] i did;-( [14:57] nq1: when the compile takes much longer then ./configure the configure time dosent matter much. :) [14:58] sipior: but will it not ask for current pasword ? [14:58] i couldn get some option to work, so had to fix & redo ./configure [14:58] I normally run ./configure,, see some error/warning/NOT found message.. install dev packages needed.. rerun ./configure.. repeate a few times.. [14:58] zax1: the assumption is that your account is in "admin". otherwise you need to reset the thing via a boot cd, single user mode or the like. [14:59] This is why we have package managers. :) makes things easier [14:59] can anybody help me configure my "WD Book" as an NFS disc? and after that how i connect it and more [14:59] joaopinto: http://paste.ubuntu.com/206269/ look [14:59] I know, but easy does not make me understand... [15:00] thanks aot [15:00] alot [15:00] Is there any virtualization tecnology built into ubuntu? I would like to use it as virtual server host [15:00] Heho, are you trying to move files on /media/HD-CEU2 ?

[15:13] Heho, if the filesystem got corrupted, it could be due to an unclean shutdown or similar event [15:13] Pici: I just wanted to verify that was the best test.. didnt know if there was a command that would tell me the processor [15:13] juiceman5000, unless you need the device to be used on a windows system also :) [15:13] bieb: uname [15:13] joaopinto: mmm thanks alot === xbmc is now known as xukun [15:14] joaopinto: ergh. why would you do such a thing?! j/k. yeah, i know, but it makes me cringe [15:14] :P [15:14] Hi all [15:14] thank you guys, recordmydesktop works just fine :) [15:14] bieb: uname -pi i think but uname --all will spit out everything [15:14] joaopinto try an sudo touch /forcefsck [15:14] looking for help with Ubuntu Hardy [15:14] moncky: uname just responds "Linux" [15:14] and reboot for the fsck check [15:14] problem with window manager [15:15] bieb: I just expanded on that above [15:15] thanks [15:15] bieb, uname -a [15:15] I saw that after I sent message [15:15] bieb: uname -pi or uname --all [15:15] after an attempt to install a package... which I cannot remember [15:15] !enter | csw840915 [15:15] csw840915: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

The problem is that after the keyboard selection, all freezes.. [15:35] did you check the disk using md5 [15:35] well checking the iso actually [15:35] doktoreas, which ubuntu version? [15:36] Xorg is using 1.5 GB RAM? :$ [15:36] Glowball, is your computer slow? [15:36] It is a little bit slow now, yes [15:36] But normally, it isn't [15:37] Glowball, pls paste "ps -u root" [15:37] Incarus, 9.04 [15:37] It's sad, pulseaudio uses like 3x as much ram on my machine as X [15:38] Incarus: http://pastebin.com/d2b2302e3 [15:38] doktoreas , installing intrepid, then configure it, then sys upgrade could wokr [15:38] Incarus, I'll try..thank you [15:38] doktoreas, np [15:38] /exit [15:39] any suggestions for a better torrent program than transmission ? [15:39] Glowball, dont overheat your computer dude, i would check the cpu fan [15:40] grayhane: Vuze is big and clunky but i like it. i get faster speeds with it [15:40] grayhane, deluge works nice for me [15:40] Oh.. Damn. [15:40] Incarus: But how does it explain the memory usage? === chaky_ is now known as chaky [15:41] legend2440: can you select only the files within a torrent you want ? Transmission will not allow that, keeps downloading all [15:41] Glowball, pls the paste of "ps -u USERNAME" [15:41] if I've decided to use compiz as a standalone wm ... and I would also like to play games that require opengl, are there any solutions to disable the composition effect while the game is running and after the game is stopped to automatically enable it? something like dwm does in windows 7 ? [15:41] grayhane: yes you can [15:41] thanks === ELYoung is now known as X10 [15:41] grayhane: you right click the torrent in the list, and go to properties, then go to the files tab, there are checkboxes for each file [15:42] grayhane, deluge will give you the same option [15:42] Incarus: http://pastebin.com/d33aeeed2 === Nome is now known as Mr [15:43] hello [15:44] Glowball, "totem-plugin-vi (10 times)" "wine" "virtual box" and "firefox" are running at the same time [15:44] Glowball, kill totem and it could be faster [15:44] i have a problem with /etc/profile and PATH. it seems only to be loaded when i ssh to my server from a terminal, not when i use the ruby lib Net::SSH. what could cause /etc/profile not to be loaded? [15:44] is there a command that returns public hostname or IP? [15:44] whatis_tux, only thing I know of is fusion-icon to quickly enable/disable compiz [15:44] Incarus: Totem.. That's my music player, right? [15:44] It's not on? [15:45] saml, whois? [15:45] Glowball, and video player, maybe it is sticking [15:45] Glowball, try "sudo killall -s KILL totem-plugin-vi" [15:45] Aha. [15:45] deany: but if compiz is the only wm on the machine disabling it from fusion-icon won't crash the desktop? [15:45] Incarus: totem-plugin-vi: no process killed [15:46] whatis_tux, thats the purpose of it [15:46] Glowball, k, try "sudo kill 13905" "sudo kill 13907" "sudo kill 13910" "sudo kill 13913" "sudo kill 13916" and "sudo kill 13919" [15:46] Hey there -- I have two somewhat identical Ubuntu systems on 9.04, and I installed a package (I can't remember what) on one that make the shell and ls and such have color in it. I know I can edit configs manually to replicate that effect on the other computer, but does anyone know the package that does it for you? === bytenik_ is now known as bytenik [15:46] whatis_tux, you actually select metacity as the wm [15:47] recently gnome applets are dying when the system is restarted. They run fine otherwise. What may be the problem? [15:47] is the a command line tool to fetch a file using a URL, bsd has "fetch" what's the linux equiv? [15:47] monty_hall: wget [15:47] deany, he want to use compiz as wm [15:48] whatis_tux, thereby disabling compiz. but it doesnt do it like turning effects off in the Prefs/Appearance, it keeps your compiz settings for when you re-enable it. the normal way it resets what compiz effects you have set. [15:48] moncky: thanks. [15:48] monty_hall: no [15:48] monty_hall: np even :D [15:48] MrKeuner, all apps close on system restart [15:48] Incarus, so quickly disable it when playing a game, and quickly enable it when not [15:48] whatis_tux, thats the point of fusion-icon [15:48] deany, not compiz, he could disable the effects, thats what he want [15:49] Incarus, true, but they do not crash when system is restarted [15:49] Incarus: That might help a little bit on my overall RAM usage, but Xorg is still using about 1.5 GB [15:49] no one knows how to make the shell be colorful? [15:49] Incarus, he could, but he wanted a quick way [15:49] MrKeuner, before or after the restart? [15:49] Incarus, after restart obviously [15:49] Glowball, ok, wait [15:49] hi [15:50] what a lag ! === hfsdo_ is now known as hfsdo [15:50] Incarus, its also a way that keeps his settings in compiz config.. for me at least, when i disable/enable thru the prefs menu it resets what ive set, giving me wobbly windows etc, which I dont want. [15:50] deany: I know that selecting metacity from fusion icon will disable the effects until i re enable compiz .. but I am looking for a solution if I have only compiz as a wm [15:50] ok how can I return the restart x function using ctrl+alt + backspace? [15:50] Incarus, thats all im saying to him. whatis_tux use it or not, thats the only thing I can suggest. [15:50] Glowball, k, "sudo kill 13921" "sudo kill 13926" "sudo kill 13928" "sudo kill 13931", is a wine app running at the moment, and is virtual box running? [15:50] !dontzap | farciarz84 [15:50] farciarz84: 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. [15:51] deany, k [15:51] Incarus: I closed the Wine app, since I already have it running in my Virtualbox now [15:51] whatis_tux, what difference does it make. your problem is, you want to play a game... [15:51] But those are processes other than Xorg afaik? [15:52] deany: I understood, and I know this way works... but without metacity I don't think there is another way [15:52] Glowball, awn (several instances) and compiz is also running, virtual box is also slowing your system down, firefox is running, <>> [15:53] Glowball, try "sudo kill 25736" [15:53] deany: anyway... tks for suggestions [15:53] Incarus: What is xdg-open ? === derenrich_ is now known as derenrich [15:53] can anybody tell the precise link on how to install and download update manually ? [15:53] Glowball, a "defunction" of xdg-open [15:54] Glowball, and firefox hangs, or? [15:54] Incarus: Not really, but I'm just wondering about Xorg... [15:54] I had the same problem a few days ago, a reboot fixed it [15:54] It might be a memory leak? [15:54] Glowball, did you try the command? [15:54] Killing xdg-open ? [15:54] Yes, I did [15:55] Glowball, pls again "ps .u USERNAME" and paste [15:55] hi all. My wife occassionally connects to a VPN. And I've done it so she can mount work drives in her home directory. The structure is /home/mywife/herdata1 /home/mywife/herdata2 - I've created these two directories and when she attaches to the VPN the remote filesystems get mounted there. My question is - why would an "ls" in /home/mywife tell me these filesystems aren't mounted after she has unmounted them? [15:55] Glowball, ps -u i mean [15:56] I got my new laptop in today. Came with windows xp on it and im in the process of removing it. But id like to know if there is a command i can run to list all my hardware. I want to confirm the ram and hard disk and also confirm the cd drive that is on it to be sure it is only a cd-rom and not a dvd like the dell website says. What command can irun [15:56] i have a 8.x ubuntu server where the root password was maliciously changed, how do i reset it ? [15:56] i cant log on to the server [15:56] DVA59121, you could run everest home edition in windows [15:56] DVA59121: lshw [15:56] DVA59121: I think you can right-click on My Computer and click Properties. [15:56] Incarus: http://pastebin.com/d5d8f4e40 [15:56] Im in the ubuntu live cd now [15:57] DVA59121 everest is the best, i agree [15:57] boo_: Ubuntu doesn't have a root account. [15:57] boo_, maybe you can boot with live cd and change the /etc/shadow file, but i dont know if it will work XD [15:57] so how do i log in, and gain root access again [15:57] boo_: You log into a user with administrator access. [15:58] boo_ sudo -s [15:58] i do not know any user account here [15:58] boo_ then you're sol [15:58] I guess he wasnt lieing. lshw says two gb ram and a 17** cpu [15:58] Glowball, try "sudo kill -s KILL 25736" [15:58] !root |boo_ [15:58] boo_: 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 [15:58] Well i guess i must also be lucky. Wifi worked right out of the box. I love ubuntu :D [15:58] heh, that's cute ubottu :) [15:58] nice [15:58] boo_, boot the live cd, mount the drive and look in the home folder, that will give you a list of users on the machine [15:59] Incarus: I did, it doesn't disappear from the list [15:59] yeah, but what about their password ? [15:59] Glowball, restart? XD [15:59] * parolang doesn't know how you install ubuntu without any user accounts. [15:59] Well, yea, I was thinking about that too [15:59] boo_, should be encrypted in /etc/shadows [15:59] But can't I just restart Xorg without completely rebooting my system? [15:59] Well here goes bye bye windows on my new(used) dell d610 [16:00] incarus, how do i get in the ? [16:00] then* [16:00] DVA59121: Why don't you just dualboot? [16:00] DVA59121, dunno if its on the livecd but can run cdrecord -scanbus [16:00] DVA59121: yay :) [16:00] Glowball: because i hate windows xp with a passion [16:00] Oh, ok :P [16:00] and also i hate dual boot screens [16:00] boo_: You need someone to set up a user account for you. [16:00] boo_, john the ripper is a password cracker, and you can get the file with a live cd, then mount hd and copy file [16:00] DVA59121, dell do provide bios updates for the laptop and sometimes the writer.. might wanna keep the xp on, a little [16:01] Glowball, yeah, kill Xorg and type in ctrl+alt+F1 something like "sudo gdm" [16:01] DVA59121, shrink it the most you can and use the rest.. well, I would.. [16:01] Incarus: can you further explain please? it seems like it might work ? [16:01] hi. I have a new LCD, and it flickers a lot. how to fix that? [16:01] Hello, I have problem installing from a bin file. Every time I try I get "Error in checksums: 4112267 is different from 609708321" [16:01] Glowball, o no, kill gdm XD [16:01] I've been told that cron-apt allows you to either have it only update, or update & upgrade. which is the configuration setting for switching between these? [16:01] I've checked it's md5 and its valid, also downloaded it a couple of times [16:01] deany: it is confirmed to be a cd-rom drive and not a dvd. I can purchase a new dvd rom drive correct? the one on here is a module type [16:01] ghr511: I'm not sure but going to preferences and changin refresh rate might help [16:02] boo_, john the ripper can crack shadows file -> brute force, could be very slow, and you have to copy the shadows file [16:02] ah never mind, it's the action.d directory [16:02] DVA59121, yeah. i`d get a pioneer slimtype or something... £25-30 here... [16:02] IS there anyway that the bios updates for dell can be instaled inside ubuntu. Since they do now officialy support it? [16:02] boo_, http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/john_the_ripper.html [16:03] DVA59121, thats a dvd-+/rw btw [16:03] Incarus: sorry for being slow, is that file there on the cd ? === bugsy101 is now known as SR71-Blackbird [16:03] deany: better then buying a new laptop :D that will be something to get on my next payday [16:03] DVA59121, well a dvd-+RW/DL [16:03] ether way it still does dvds [16:03] boo_, ? XD, no, the shadows file is on the hd, in /etc/ [16:03] what model dell is it [16:03] D610 [16:03] Incarus: Damn, ctrl-alt-F1 almost made my system crash... [16:03] boo_, i mean brute force is slow ;-) [16:04] I might better reboot :x [16:04] Glowball, yeah [16:04] Glowball, are you in a console? [16:04] Not anymore [16:04] I`m partial to dell myself.. have a few.. still got the trusty inspiron 9100, but after 7 yrs the drive hardly writes discs anymore. its had some hammer to be fair. [16:04] Glowball, hm === kipas_angin is now known as myphniz === myphniz is now known as myphnix [16:04] danget my phone is viberating and i dont know where it is :-( [16:05] if under the folder HOME in mounted filesystem i can see only ubuntu, can i assume thats the only user on the machine ? [16:05] hey guys.. I had a server configured wrong. as beta.mysite.com launched and never changed it mysite.com is there a way to flush mails that have been acruing in postfix for the past 4 months? [16:05] boo_, are you in the live cd? [16:05] hi [16:05] Is it possible to add disks to a mdadm linear array?

[16:21] can someone tell me how to install the perl module Geo::Coder::Canada? [16:22] is it possible to install a jaunty kernel on hardy? [16:23] lesshaste: Why? Hardy kernel is great and far stable. [16:23] Okay, so I managed to get Ubuntu installed on the HP xw4600 Workstation this morning. Turns out Ubuntu was having trouble with the second monitor. Now I need to figure out how to configure for dual monitor. I've searched forums and have tried several suggestions, but nothing works. Any easy workaround? Or maybe a difficult one that actually works? [16:23] ghr511, "(EE) intel(0): underrun on pipe A!". which ubuntu version do you use? [16:23] lesshaste, yup but you need to compile it yourself [16:23] Incarus: 8.10 amd64 [16:23] mobi-sheep: sadly my dvd drive doesn't work [16:23] gizmobay, you use CPAN, basicly perl -MCPAN -eshell, then tell it to install the module "i Geo::Coder::Canada" in this case. A search for "perl cpan" can also help [16:23] Incarus: but do not worry about that. I have only problems with the modelines [16:23] ghr511, screen could work in jaunty [16:23] grawity: upgrading is not easy at the moment due to disk space issues [16:23] I tried but after intializing it shows grey and only grey screen..and nothings happen.. :( [16:23] lesshaste: Well, you check this out?

I think the mic is in the keyboard. Keeps squelching as I type. [16:32] mdm: well, what info you want? I have an LCD connected to my laptop. It works, but screen is wavy. I wasted hours on setting modelines by hand, but nothing is perfect. How to auto connect best modelines for my sceen? it is modern LCD it must have this EEID or something autodetect stuff [16:32] gizmobay, you would use it by setting use Geo::Coder::Canada in a per file, then using whatever you set the new instance to.

I turned it up and now the left speaker is feeding back [16:34] boo_: why not? [16:34] gizmobay, change working directory to the right directory and it would work [16:34] CodemasterLaptop: this one https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive/ppa ? [16:34] so is removing the * after the root, remove the password ? [16:34] boo_: uh ok, I don't like spamming the main channel if we can [16:34] CodemasterLaptop: it doesn't seem to have any new kernels in it unless I don't know how to see them [16:34] damagu, yeah [16:34] Incarus: I assume the mic is located in the keyboard near the speaker [16:34] Gobby: You can edit keyboard shortcuts under system->preferences->keyboard shortcuts, [16:34] damagu, thats not good [16:34] i am on aweb channel [16:35] Incarus: but screen resolution works fine. this is the native resolution [16:35] thanks. [16:35] boo_: you were unable to unset the root password in the single user mode? [16:35] damagu, then disable mic bust and it should work [16:35] hi [16:35] screen refresh-rate / pixel-clock / other mumbo-jumbo, this is what ubuntu failed to set up correctly [16:35] i dont know what that mean [16:35] see script here http://pastebin.com/m50915eaa [16:35] where I can see my drivers? [16:35] ghr511, screen resolution shouldnt be 800x600 ... [16:35] Incarus: If I do that it'll be back to the way it was before. I didn't have to unmute it... it was already unmuted. [16:35] boo_: when you reboot your machine, there comes a message of "booting in x seconds, press esc to go to grub menu" [16:35] Incarus: it is 1680x1050 [16:35] (01:35:04) Myrtti: boo_: you were unable to unset the root password in the single user mode? <-- I thought using $sudo bash should get him in as root. From then he can use passwd to override the root pwd ? [16:35] gizmobay, when you instaled this with cpan it asked for a build dir, if you told it noting or took the default it is set to ~/.cpan/build/. In it are the modules is Geo/Coder/Canada there? [16:35] ghr511, k [16:36] zugiart: with livecd? wrong [16:36] yes, in my home directory [16:36] ghr511, check screen settings on display ;-) [16:36] zugiart: also, setting a root password is in general a bad idea, it looks as if he doesn't have it enabled [16:36] (01:36:08) Myrtti: zugiart: with livecd? wrong <-- ic, I didn't know he's on livecd. nvm then :-pp [16:36] Incarus: what? the resolution is in fact 1650x1080 [16:36] where can get drivers for ati radeon 9600 ? plz help [16:36] erm [16:36] 1680x1050 [16:37] /home/gizmobay/.cpan/build [16:37] ghr511, forget it XD [16:37] Incarus: greate, this is so helpfull [16:37] gizmobay, check directory [16:37] cirvis, I think you are stuck with whatever ubuntu will support [16:37] so, is Ubuntu capable of using an LCD screen or not yet? [16:37] ghr511, hm? XD [16:37] ghr511: errr....... [16:37] ghr511: why wouldn't it be? [16:37] what does it means? [16:37] Incarus: any ideas what sound input should be set to on skype? [16:37] Incarus, which directory my /home/gizmobay/.cpan/build? [16:38] Myrtti: because in ubuntu my screen waves, and I need to waste hours inputing some crazy modelines stuff, and it even then does not work fully [16:38] quit [16:38] damagu, dont know, but why dont you by an external microphone? [16:38] Incarus: thanks for your help, going to try this out now [16:38] Incarus: Hmm. Hardly ideal. [16:38] ghr511: erm, what video driver? [16:38] gizmobay, is that the current working directory and is the file in it? [16:38] ghr511, I think yur confusing a few things here. What you mean is can my video card run an LCD monitor and can ubuntu control that. Not does ubunut support lcd monitors [16:38] CodemasterLaptop, np [16:39] what does it means? [16:39] jrib i945... but what with the driver??? the driver is ok, the resolution is ok, the 3d acceleration is ok. the PROBLEM is this stupid pixel-clock etc frequency settings (modelines), I can not get them right. How to just auto detect this? this is crazy [16:39] Incarus, this is the build directory for cpan. The canada.pm is in the directory but not my script [16:39] ghr511, could be driver bug or xserver bug [16:39] cirvis, what does what mean? [16:39] ghr511, pls update system [16:39] boo_: from what you describe, it sounds like there is no root password for you to unset. if you've got the root filesystem of the machine mounted whilst running the livecd, consider editing the file /etc/group, and add your account name to the group "admin". you can then restart the machine, and use sudo to administer the thing, just as the previous admin presumably did. [16:40] ok other way around [16:40] hey all, I'm currently on a Compaq Presario 1200 laptop. It's laggin badly because it cannot find any graphic acceleration drivers. Any way I can find these manually? [16:40] How to auto detect best mode lines for my 1680x1050 LCD?

[16:40] jrib: lol I know what X system is, I just patched part of it ;) [16:40] It looks like i may be able to install dell bios updates from inside ubuntu. I may be able to get rid of windows after all. [16:40] I'm not sure what's on board actually [16:40] ghr511: try reading the link [16:41] I don't see system info on ubuntu [16:41] lol [16:41] Gaming4JC, paste "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log" [16:41] DVA5912, you don't update a bios from inside any OS.. [16:41] Gaming4JC, lshw -C video [16:41] ok [16:41] bastidrazor: care to elaborate? [16:41] jrib: ok... but this is really complicated for normal users. this should be simplier [16:41] Halitech, or xorg.0.log [16:42] Incarus, either will work :) [16:42] ghr511, yeah, in jaunty its simple XD [16:42] DVA5912, how were you planning on updating the BIOS? [16:42] whit this - I think you are stuck with whatever ubuntu will support , what does it means? [16:42] ghr511: meh, I don't have to do any of this on my computers. You should check the bug tracker for a relevant bug. iirc, it's usually some issue with the monitor not sending out the right information about what it is capable of [16:43] cirvis, it means since ATI has dropped support you will need to use whatever driver Ubuntu has built in [16:43] jrib, he is using intrepid, and intrepid got some problems with these things [16:43] bastidrazor: using dells exe. But looking at one of the websites i saw its even easier. Dell provides a repository for ubuntu and fedora. i add that repository to my system and run a command and it updates to the latest one [16:43] hello [16:43] ghr511, it is really simple, if you had that monitor connected when you setup X it would have seen it and read its EDID. Meaning it would have known what modelines to use. Barring that you have to eieher rebuild the xorg.conf or setup the modes by hand [16:43] which by the way can anyone confirm the lastest bios for the Dell D610 to be A06? [16:43] just google a little [16:44] ok where can I get them? [16:44] mdm, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure Xorg" maybe? XD [16:44] I'd like to use setuid to change the user in a script, but I keep getting an error. I am doing: setuid username ... Am I doing this incorrectly?

[16:46] lol sry for the wait [16:46] but it doest show any thing in driver hardware :( [16:46] DVA5912, depends on whats in the update and you wouldnt need to keep windows on that computer as long as you have access to a friends to make the update disk [16:46] ghr511, if you have the port already set and connected you can remove all the settings and let X detect them on startup. If you really want to know you can debug this and do it by hand. Or an easier way is to do what Incarus said [16:47] Incarus: thanks mate. it turned out I needed to select HDA Intel (hw:Intel,2) rather than pulse for the Sound In. On skype. There's obviously something wrong though the volume control changing the Captures back to muted everytime. But I guess as long as it works... who cares.

[16:55] I knew it wasn't a simple matter. xD [16:55] cirvis, there are no ATI properietary drivers for your card anymore.. only the radeon open source driver [16:55] Assuming I have the iptables forward chain set up eth0->eth1 and eth1->eth0, and I have rules in input and output for those two interfaces, will the forwarded traffic hit the INPUT and OUTPUT rules? [16:55] but then it means I cant play games,right? [16:56] Incarus, possible the card is but the monitor isn't? [16:56] cirvis, wait pls [16:56] nobody cant help me ?

[16:57] Incarus, never really played around much, my main use is all 2d and my new card is still supported by ATI [16:57] cirvis, fglrx driver from intrepid should work [16:57] cirvis, edit: I can RUN ut200k but its not playable enough for me.... [16:57] pc2: What exactly is the problem? [16:57] Halitech, k [16:57] Greetings [16:57] Halitech, no DRI, or Direct Rendering Interface is the direct access to the video card rendring chips. It has noting to do with a monitor [16:57] mdm, Greetings to you. :) [16:57] hey Fenix|work [16:57] cirvis, so if you want fglrx then stick to intrepid or get a new card [16:57] ok where can I get them? [16:58] mdm, ok, thats deeper then I've dug into systems before :) [16:58] Assuming I have the iptables forward chain set up eth0->eth1 and eth1->eth0, and I have rules in input and output for those two interfaces, will the forwarded traffic hit the INPUT and OUTPUT rules? [16:58] deany, or install old package [16:58] so what should I do? [16:58] Incarus, on newer Xorg? [16:58] mdm, I made progress on my box... I can boot with it off the raid controller, but dmraid still is activated and the drives come up in the array. Strangeness abound /dev/sda has no UUID's, just sdb when booting from the live CD [16:58] Hello [16:58] Incarus, which the old drivers dont support? [16:58] Halitech, are you using xinerama? [16:58] deany, oh... [16:58] deany, or hack ;-) [16:58] Incarus: Usually as you know, ubuntu dectecs the graphics card via searching for it. In this case it says no drivers found. So none are installed to my knowledge. :) [16:59] How can I tell apt-get to ignore broken dependencies? [16:59] mdm, no, installed the ATI driver from their site [16:59] Fenix|work, I thoguth you were going to forgo dmraid for sofware raid [16:59] Does any one use Gizmo? If so what is the recommend program to use? Also how is the qualty? [16:59] ha ha ha this debate.... i'm trying in a public hotspot right now it seems that they doesn't allow web browsing.... but i see that i can connect to irc & ftp guys...... [16:59] cirvis, try the default enabled "radeon" driver, it may work good enough for you [16:59] Gaming4JC, where are drivers, but they are old, and nobody care about, so you dont have 3d things [16:59] sonism: lol ? [17:00] Halitech, can you shut down X and run a command, then paste the output of that file? [17:00] is it know that linux has problems with amd processors or chips [17:00] i sometimes get I/O errors [17:00] mdm, I am, but it's configured that way on boot to activate the array... plus dmraid has metadata on the disks so the array becomes active even when the disks are not physically on the RAID controller. [17:00] ups..... wrong channel..... sorry guys..... :D [17:00] how? [17:00] Do you know how can I force apt-get to install packages with broken dependencies? [17:00] or ata softreset failed when i wake my PC up from suspend [17:00] deany, are you sure with the support thing from fglrx= [17:00] mdm, I can but it will bounce me out of here and I've got downloads going at the moment I'd rather not stop [17:00] !patience | FJ_Sanchez [17:00] FJ_Sanchez: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[17:01] deany, that fglrx dont support raden 9600 [17:01] Incarus, says so on ATI site [17:01] mdm, I'm trying to figure out how to decouple the array and boot naturally from sda, but when I saw sda doesn't have any UUID's associated with it I decided it was time for a 'break' :) [17:01] Fenix|work, I would think the card has BIOS it injectes into the MB bios at boot time [17:01] Incarus, mine is a newer card than his... [17:01] mdm, RAID bios is disabled :) [17:01] i meant: is it known that linux has problems with amd processors or chips? [17:01] see above [17:01] deany, and yours is working? [17:02] Fenix|work, remove the card, plug the drives into the MD controllers instead???? you would have to rebuild them though [17:02] bomb, no issues here on an AMD 5200+ with a Sapphire board [17:02] o.O [17:02] mdm, unfortunately it's built onto the mobo [17:02] Assuming I have the iptables forward chain set up eth0->eth1 and eth1->eth0, and I have rules in input and output for those two interfaces, will the forwarded traffic hit the INPUT and OUTPUT rules?

[17:04] Gaming4JC: don't be silly... it doesn't upgrade the distro [17:04] mdm, I have and have disabled the RAID controller in BIOS. I think it's all the metadata on the two drives that makes dmraid still activate the array [17:04] FJ_Sanchez: AFAIK working dependancies are a pre-requisite for apt to install an app. you can use -f to fix broken deps, or you can also --fix-missing and --ignore-missing however it is not reccomended to use those with -f [17:04] sonism, kubuntu-restricted-extras is a must..

The ATI Radeon 9500-9800, X300-X2100, Xpress. See the complete list here.

[17:10] Pici, because techincally it would update the system but hard to say what it might do to the stability [17:10] coler: install gnome [17:10] Gaming4JC, yes [17:10] lesshaste, no, meant jaunty [17:10] Gaming4JC, or it is a driver bug [17:10] Hello, can someone tell me how to "link" PON to the gnome network manager? I use PON to establish a PPP connection but the network manager doesn't recognize it as such and thus firefox goes into "Offline" mode - etc. Is there a way to make the network manager properly detect my RFCOMM channel and use it for PPP or at least make it recognize my own PPP ? [17:11] coler, sudo apt-get install it an make sure compositing in some form is enabled [17:11] install gnome on xubuntu [17:11] Gaming4JC, but dont think so [17:11] Incarus: I mean even the simplest 2D things are lagging, it also doesn't say I'm using 3rd party drivers. I wonder if there are any? [17:11] Halitech: that's a yes then :) [17:11] hi, what's the easiest way to deactivate notifications in ubuntu 9.04 temporarily, so that i can easily reactivate them? [17:11] We have recently had to expand out subnet and I had to change my Jaunty desktop from a 10.1.1.x, 255.255.255.0 address to a 10.1.2.x, 255.255.252.0 address. My problem is that I can only see about 1/2 the computers on the that still have the 10.1.1.x, 255.255.255.0 configuration. Does the subnet matter on the other computers? [17:11] Pici: in any case, I really have to do a full upgrade to intrepid first? [17:11] Gaming4JC, maybe your card also dont have 2d acceleration [17:11] Gaming4JC, too old [17:11] lesshaste: yes [17:11] lesshaste, dang codenames get me everytime XD [17:11] BobTheBruin: I think it does. [17:11] BobTheBruin, yes [17:11] Pici: oh dear [17:11] here goes [17:12] why can i see 1/2 the computers then? [17:12] hi [17:12] oh, hi! This channel is active o.o; [17:12] coler: you have xubuntu, which is using the more lightweight xfce desktop manager, instead of the gnome desktop manager, which supports compositing === WelshDragon is now known as YDraigGoch [17:12] aren't there ubuntu repository mirrors everywhere? does synaptic choose the nearest automatically? === Administrator__ is now known as jjbin [17:12] BobTheBruin, yes, it does === YDraigGoch is now known as YDdraigGoch [17:12] Incarus: ouch. :( I would assume it was a driver bug though. Because games on Windows ME seemed to work fine, that was the OS before ubuntu... [17:12] gaaaah, I'm angry now, don't fix stuff that isn't broke: thought I'd install flash 10 so I removed flashplugin-nonfree and installed adobe-flashplugin from their site, but now firefox doesn't detect it and it displays a white screen in konqueror 3.5.10 [17:12] nsahoo: Check System>administration>software sources for picking a better mirror [17:13] We will not be able to change all of the subnets right away, is there any way around it? [17:13] so can i install gnome on top of xubuntu, will compiz work, or should i forget about it [17:13] BobTheBruin, it may be becase of your switch and it may be misbehaving drivers. But EVERYTHING you want to communcate must be ont eh same subnet otherwise its looking for the bordcasts int he wrong place(technically what your are doing is called suprtnetting) [17:13] Pici: they really should find a better way to upgrade [17:13] Pici: is there a way to check there speed? [17:13] Pici: although debian based distros are the best of a bad lot in my experience [17:13] in addition, flash 10 does not appear as a plugin at all in firefox [17:13] coler: yes, you can. Also, can you prefix your messages with "Jutman" so they're easier to pick out? [17:13] Can I schedule "nm-applet" to connect to Internet at a particular time? [17:13] no matter what I do, I can't get firefox to detect the plugin [17:13] nsahoo: It can do a ping test to determine what mirror is the closest and choose that one. [17:14] I installed ubuntu, but I can't use it, the displayign bug is KILLING me [17:14] Gaming4JC, thats a problem of linux, the drivers have to be open source, but they dont wont them to be opensource, so they dont release them [17:14] mdm, wow so it could be with the switch? [17:14] TD-Linux: hmm... check it's in the right directory for firefox [17:14] is there something I can do to see if there is an error log or something? [17:14] its_me, yes. [17:14] Pici: thankx [17:14] It's the bug when we first install ubuntu I know [17:14] where can I see when I restart pc ,when shows where can i chouse from linux to windows and back? [17:14] How can I fix it ? [17:14] BobTheBruin, do you have a layer 2 switch? [17:14] jutman/ ok [17:14] I made symbolic links from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins to the flash plugin [17:14] same for /usr/lib/firefox/plugins [17:14] mdm, yeah [17:14] hi [17:14] jutman/ like that [17:14] I updated but nothing changed [17:14] Incarus: Bummer. Perhaps I can email triedent on the issue. [17:14] by the way I'm on 8.04 LTS btw [17:14] Jutman: I am familiar with "crontab", can you help me scheduling it? [17:14] well, the LCD setting failed [17:14] coler: yes, it just changes the text color on my end so I can find your messages easier [17:15] BobTheBruin, then it may be "helping" you find the arp's of those boxes. Really thoguh go fix your network [17:15] will Ubuntu one day support LCD monitors fully? [17:15] Gaming4JC, not really [17:15] Gaming4JC, they know it [17:15] its_me, can you just do it with iptables rules, or no? [17:15] mdm, and that is why some are working and some not? [17:15] anyone have a solution for finding DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS from a shell outside of the current session? [17:15] BobTheBruin, posibly [17:15] I spent like 2 hours so far and still LCD support in ubuntu fails [17:15] TD-Linux: I had a similar problem that was fixed by fixing the directory problem [17:15] Incarus: Is it possible to emulate the Windows driver on Ubuntu, as NDISWrapper does for Wifi cards? :) [17:15] mdm and others, thanks for the help [17:15] its_me, that is, does it have to be nm-applet? [17:15] Gaming4JC, no, isnt [17:15] BobTheBruin, it also may just be the local arp cache of the systems [17:16] mdm, i could see that [17:16] Gaming4JC, you could buy a newer graphic card [17:16] coler, why did you install xubuntu instead of ubuntu? [17:16] mdm, no way around it then? [17:16] Incarus: :-/ ... The Windows drivers are here btw: http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=55770 [17:16] Incarus: I don't guess it matters tho :( [17:16] Jutman: not necessarily I just need my computer to send my Internet Password and Username to my ISP inorder to get connected. [17:16] Gaming4JC, yeah, but they wont help you [17:16] mdm, i would have to route the traffic [17:16] Gaming4JC, or u use windows or mac ;-) [17:16] and have two different 255.255.255.0 networks right [17:16] Halitech: you dont need separate /home to reinstall over the top [17:17] lesshaste, can you elaborate? [17:17] BobTheBruin, sure, go set the netmask of all the boxes on it correctly and do not mix two networks on the same wire [17:17] how to make LCD work in ubuntu without blinking? I tried modelines, I tried no manual settings, I tried cvt + xorg.conf, I tried xrandr --add-mode, all failed [17:17] Jutman: "nm-applet" and "pppoeconf" are the only two programs that do this job, as for as I know? [17:17] Halitech: you can reinstall with a recent ubuntu live cd and choose to _not_ format and it will preserve /home even if it's on the same partition as / [17:17] TD-Linux: It put the files in the wrong place. I think I just copied them over to where the plugins that firefox did recognise where [17:17] mdm, we have a 20 year old Vax that no one knows how to change [17:17] its_me, I just sent you a PM [17:17] TD-Linux: so do about:plugins, see what it does find [17:17] rotflfail , upgrade to jaunty and it will work [17:17] Hello, can someone tell me how to "link" PON to the gnome network manager? I use PON to establish a PPP connection but the network manager doesn't recognize it as such and thus firefox goes into "Offline" mode - etc. Is there a way to make the network manager properly detect my RFCOMM channel and use it for PPP or at least make it recognize my own PPP ? [17:17] TD-Linux: and out the flash 10 stuff in there with it [17:17] Incarus: I'm not one to give up easily, time to google it. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=com.ubuntu%3Aen-US%3Aunofficial&hs=iCz&q=CyberBlade+i1+linux+driver&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g3 ;) [17:18] Incarus: can I do it "in place"? without reinstall etc? how much more hdd space is needed [17:18] lesshaste, didn't find anything in about:plugins [17:18] TD-Linux: nothing at all?? [17:18] BobTheBruin, I would go find someone who does know, that or put a router in front of it and keep its network seperate [17:18] popey, hmmmmm not sure on that, if /home is mounted inside / and you don't format you are going to end up with a lot of needless junk that could cause interference with the new install [17:18] mdm, again thanks for the help [17:18] Halitech: no, it deletes everything except /home [17:18] rotflfail, 1. yes, "update-manager" 2. dont know, but not much more [17:19] TD-Linux: you are putting this in the url box in firefox right? [17:19] popey, how would it do that? [17:19] <`Scott> jutman: what irc client are you using with ubuntu? [17:19] BobTheBruin, for that matter if you have a vax I would assume you have real rotuers, setup two more more vlans and put the vax on one and the rest on the other then route the two togehter [17:19] Halitech: ubuquity has had support for this for a couple of releases, you just _dont_ tick 'format' [17:19] lesshaste, yes [17:19] Gaming4JC, driver should work i think, but it could be a bug [17:19] `Scott, xchat. I use bitchx occasionally, why? [17:19] Gaming4JC, which ubuntu do you use? [17:19] TD-Linux: and it sees zero plugins? [17:19] oh sorry no [17:19] it sees default plugin, Demo Print, and GCJ [17:19] Incarus: As mentioned Jaunty Jackelope 9.04, latest version. [17:19] TD-Linux: fine.. so work out where those are [17:20] TD-Linux: GCJ in particular [17:20] mdm, that is a possibility [17:20] Gaming4JC, yeah, sry XD [17:20] Incarus: I've not tried Karmic beta ... lol [17:20] popey, well I've not tested it and don't have a system to try it on so I'll take your word but I'll stick to my seperate /home partition anyway :) [17:20] <`Scott> jutman: was just wondering because you said the txt changed colors and I can see that now. I just couldn't find where to change that. Thanks. [17:20] Gaming4JC, dont try it ;-) [17:20] Incarus: well ok. but if it will still not work, I will come back here to whack you with a cluebat :P [17:20] Hey guys i have an issue with my file system.You see for some reason my Public folder has made like 10 copies of itself, resulting in 70Gb of fluff. Is it safe to delete all but one of the public folders? [17:20] Halitech: you don't have to take my word for it https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbiquityPreserveHome [17:20] `Scott, :) glad I could help [17:21] Halitech: "Ubuntu now supports installations that preserve the /home directory when it already exists. To do this, manual partitioning must be used, and the partition on which data is to be preserved must not be marked for formatting." [17:21] /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/i386/gcjwebplugin.so [17:21] that doesn't make sense, firefoxdoesn't look there [17:21] Gaming4JC, i dont really know if 3d is working in linux with the graphic card [17:21] popey, I can see alot of people not selecting manual partitioning though [17:21] I can install 8.04, 8.10 ubuntu on y vaio rs620G with 1 gig of memory but 9.04 or 9.10 hangs on install. Any suggestions? [17:21] Gaming4JC, what is the name of the manufacture? [17:21] Halitech: sure, it's a specific use case [17:21] Hello, I volunteer as a sysadmin for a small private school. I'm looking for a way to setup remote access for teachers and students. Any suggestions? [17:21] OH xulrunner-addons, makes sense [17:22] Incarus: Trident Micro systems, and 2D acceleration would be an improvemnt. [17:22] TD-Linux: it'll also be in a plugins directory..just find all the directories called plugins [17:22] popey, very and most people would end up wiping things out :( [17:22] ksc: look in the Ubuntu official documentation online [17:22] BobTheBruin, really though I would find someone who knows OPenVMS and can set it. Changing its IP is not that hard. [17:22] Halitech: not if people in here educated them :) [17:22] Incarus: the card is CyberBale i1 as you probably recall [17:22] popey, thats assuming they come here and ask first :) [17:22] bobo: I have. [17:22] has anyone compiled a new kernel on hardy? [17:22] ksc654: vinagre / vino-server - these are VNC-based "remote desktop sharing" software for Linux/Ubuntu [17:22] Halitech: Popey/Halitech, I've done this a couple of times. just had to recreate a couple of users and pair them back up with their home dirs. Its a very simple process. [17:23] BANG there we go :D [17:23] Pici: not enough sapce to upgrade :( [17:23] TD-Linux: :) [17:23] :) Thingymebob [17:23] i have an issue with my file system.You see for some reason my Public folder has made like 10 copies of itself, resulting in 70Gb of fluff. Is it safe to delete all but one of the public folders? [17:23] Thingymebob, glad to hear it works easily [17:23] Gaming4JC, i dont know [17:23] neato it works in firefox :D [17:23] still nothing in konqueror :( [17:23] ksc654: either that or you can use XDCMP, but that requires you to then use an X server on the client and if the client is Windows, that's not super easy - although can be done free of cost [17:23] Popey: absolute breeze:-D [17:24] it seems that flash player 10 has bugs though :( [17:24] ksc654: (can you tell I volunteer as computer admin for a small private school?) [17:24] Gaming4JC, ubuntu got the driver from xorg, but maybe 3d could work with it, but i dont know [17:24] or youtube is broken [17:24] Gaming4JC, search in google or something [17:24] Gaming4JC, but i have to go [17:24] dpkg-query --show|grep ghc lists ghc6 but apt-get remove ghc6 says it isn't installed. What is going on? [17:24] Incarus: I have been searching google... aok np thanks for the help [17:24] Incarus: cya. ;) [17:25] i am logged on to a live CD running on a server that has ubuntu on it. i dont know any user name, nad do not know my root password. how do i create a new user on the underlying system ? [17:25] Gaming4JC, maybe karmic driver is working, it is newer http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/xserver-xorg-video-trident [17:25] bye [17:25] i asked before and could not follow, its now back in my office so i can do with it as i wish [17:25] mbeierl1: I [17:26] zax1: run "mkpasswd -H md5 MyRootPassword", note the output, mount the drive, edit /etc/shadow and change the password hash to whatever mkpasswd gave you. [17:27] mbeierl1: I've only recently setup a linux server for the computer lab. Its running LTSP and the workstations are using pxe. I set it up over the weekend. [17:27] its that easy to gain complete control over an ubuntu box if you have physical access? [17:27] grawity: do that from the live cd ? right ? which shadow file do i edit ? [17:27] zax1: /etc/shadow in the hard disk. [17:28] ksc654: edubuntu? [17:28] i am completely new to the ubuntu world, and am a bit lost with out 'my computer' and stuff [17:28] petllama: yes. physical access makes effective security almost impossible, independent of operating system. [17:28] how do i get to the root of the drive ? [17:28] does anyone have any good recommendations for podcasting books or any information? [17:28] Ubuntu alternate install [17:28] zax1: where did you mount the drive? [17:28] i knew it was that easy with any MS OS, was not aware of that with *nix tho... wow [17:28] i didnt mount it, its showing on my desktop [17:29] sipior, petllama: Full disk encryption :D [17:29] my server dont support linux for sending email. what other options are available? [17:29] hi! is there anybody who know where to find good documentaiton on wiki progr'amming ? [17:29] ksc654: join #edubuntu or #ltsp as well if you've got questions around those... might get more specific answers than here which is general desktop support [17:29] grawity: hah hah, not if i put a keyboard sniffer in place ;-) [17:29] zax1: It was mounted automatically, then ... go to Terminal, do "sudo -s" to get root on the LiveCD, and take a look in /media [17:30] grawity: does full disk encryption take up "lots" of sytem resources? [17:30] sipior: But if the user has physical access too? [17:30] grawity: sorry told you a lie... how DO I mount it [17:30] ? [17:30] sipior: Second, do keyloggers for laptops actually exist? [17:30] sipior: third, Windows' BitLocker supports storing the key on an USB pendrive. [17:30] iptables question: I have the iptables forward chain set up eth0->eth1 and eth1->eth0, and I have rules in input and output for those two interfaces, will the forwarded traffic hit the INPUT and OUTPUT rules? I looks like it does, but is that the correct method? [17:31] afternoon all [17:31] mbeierl1: What I'm really looking for is vpn access for teachers and home directory access for students. [17:33] ksc654: Ah! Different beast altogether :) If you are running from a mixed (linux/windows) set of clients, PPTP is probably the easiest and best vpn for you to set up. Check out pptpd (PoPToP Point to Point Tunneling Server) [17:33] hello i'm using proxy server for internet and my chatzilla and Xchat are not working....please help [17:34] mbeierl1: Thanks for the info. [17:34] ksc654: I actually use my school's Win2k3 server to act as radius server and run VPN from that, but can be done many different ways, including as I just suggested having the VPN server be linux running PPTP server software [17:35] ksc654: are you supporting a heterogeneous school network or are all the computers using Linux? [17:35] astin_villa: where have you set the proxy? In Firefox or system->preferences->network proxy? [17:35] mbeierl1, why pptp and not ltsp over ipsec? [17:35] anyone know a decent mail program that will run on server not supporting linux [17:35] grawity: unless you're in the habit of shutting down the laptop, the key can generally be read out of memory. interesting research being done there. pendrives can be stolen, users can be tricked &cet. encryption is not a magic barrier. [17:36] sipior: When I had Windows on this laptop, it booted faster than it would resume from sleep. [17:36] Is it possible to compile the x-server-xorg-videop-trident 1:1.3.1-1 in jaunty? The current version for jaunty is outdated. :P [17:36] ray_: well, what kind of server, exactly? sendmail is pretty standard. [17:36] grawity: that's nice. [17:36] sipior: And, how exactly are you planning to steal something from my pocket? [17:36] Jutman: I don't know his user base. If teachers are coming in from home using MS Windows, I find PPTP just easier to manage for them, besides, don't know how they can use LTSP from windows clients. [17:36] mbeierl1: Its mixed right now. The computer lab was the first of many steps to migrate away from Windows. [17:36] hi [17:36] It's currently in karmic rather than jaunty :-/ [17:36] (Tbh, Ubuntu does not resume from sleep at all.) [17:36] !karmic | Gaming4JC [17:36] Gaming4JC: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [17:36] ksc654: do you have a domain controller? [17:37] grawity : please. help. i'm currently viewing this chat from http://webchat.freenode.net i want Xchat and chatzilla . i'm behind a proxy server.. [17:37] mbeierl1, oh, wasn't aware ltsp didn't work for windows. I have that set up on my school's vpn [17:37] grawity: this is drifting off-topic. google around a bit, you'll see plenty of solutions to the problems you pose. [17:37] whats the recommended handheld digital recorder for linux? [17:37] ... [17:37] mbeierl1, but we require the students to use linux to log into it (as they're all CS students) [17:37] Jutman: wait, you _require_ using a particular OS? [17:38] mbeierl1: Yes. W2k3. Its overburdened. Its the PDC, http, dns, gateway and file server right now. [17:38] ksc654: as part of a "gentle" migration away from Windows, I'd suggest looking at Likewise Open version 5 (aptitude search likewise-open) to allow the linux machines to authenticate against the Windows Domain [17:38] What's a good way to achieve chrooted ssh? [17:38] hi .. my system is getting overheated .. and the temperature monitor is no longer giving any reading for the graphics card .. and the system shuts down abruptly .. [17:38] mbeierl1: I had stumbled across that over the weekend. [17:38] grawity, not *require* persay, just we only support linux based clients for it. the entire point of the VPN is for access to our linux projects the students can run [17:39] Jutman: I don't know if ltsp won't work - I just have never tried it - it would require PXE boot which cannot be done over VPN (chicken-egg) or an X server (which requires software to be installed on Windows box) [17:39] i guess this is not really an ubuntu problem .. but i thought i'd ask here anyways .. what could be the solution ? [17:39] mbeierl1, thats a good point, I was just curious because there are some known security issues with pptp [17:39] ksc654: it works well, and I've got it working for me (at work I am part of the domain with my linux laptop) [17:39] thanks, will try sendmail, dont know exactly what kind of server, but will ask [17:40] thanks [17:40] Jutman: the issues are with MS implementation of the Lanman password hash, but do not affect PPTP as a general concept [17:40] anyone :) [17:41] ksc654: I'd recommend replacing the PDC with a linux firewall as a first step to overall network changes. Have it connect to the internet, and allow the PDC to do everything else it currently does [17:41] whats the recommended handheld digital recorder for linux? [17:41] mbeierl1, I'm a n00b to be honest as far as the implementation, I know I was told to run l2tp over ipsec because pptp had issues, thats all [17:41] can i already use ext4? [17:41] musicpenguin, I don't think there are any recommended recorders [17:41] bomb, yes. :P [17:41] hey guys, anyone run ubuntu on hp mini? any good news? [17:42] Halitech, i want to know if i can upload it to linux [17:42] ksc654: if the PDC HTTP server is external as well as internal, you then need some firewall rules to do port forwarding, but that is easy. [17:42] mbeierl1, maybe you can help me [17:42] greenkhakis, youtube has a few hp mini with linux [17:42] so ext4 is stable now? [17:42] Jutman: the security concerns for PPTP are real enough, but it really depends on what version, etc [17:42] musicpenguin, you mean record something and copy the file to your computer? [17:42] Jutman: maybe so, ask away :) [17:42] mbeierl1: I have the iptables forward chain set up eth0->eth1 and eth1->eth0, and I have rules in input and output for those two interfaces, will the forwarded traffic hit the INPUT and OUTPUT rules? I looks like it does, but is that the correct method? [17:42] Halitech, yes..handheld recorder [17:43] Jutman: right. I saw that post and did not understand what you're trying to do. I'm not so hot at iptables, but let's break it down bit by bit and see if I can understand [17:43] Jutman: eth0 - is that the one that is connected to the internet? [17:43] mbeierl1, thats correct, and eth1 is the local network [17:44] the INPUT chains allow 10.0.0.0 (we'll call that the internal ip's and 1.2.3.4 will be external) [17:44] musicpenguin, my boss had a sony that worked fine with linux, can't think or the model off the top of my head though, wasn't a real expensive model though [17:44] mbeierl1, we also have 172.0.0.0 which is the VPN traffic [17:45] Halitech, ok thanks :) ill have to google it [17:45] so 10.0.0.0 needs access to the internet on certain ports [17:45] Jutman: that would be pppX as needed or... tunX... what does your vpn use? [17:45] Halitech, wait...define wasnt expensive? [17:45] musicpenguin, stay away from RCA units though, they are a pain [17:45] Jutman: l2tp? [17:45] musicpenguin, I think around 100.00 [17:46] mbeierl1, I don't know why I mentioned the VPN, its irrelevant. [17:46] Halitech, ok.thanks.. [17:46] musicpenguin, ubuntu okay with hp mini? any major prob? [17:46] greenkhakis, http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=hp+mini+ubuntu&search_type=&aq=f [17:46] Jutman: ok... so 10.0.0.0 needs to be allowed to access the internet. What you are looking for is called "masquerading", not port forwarding [17:47] mbeierl1, right, I have that set up [17:47] is forwarding required at all? [17:47] musicpenguin, here's some info on units that work http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-370512.html [17:47] greenkhakis, since most netbooks have the same atom chip i dont thin they would have an issue with linux...look at the eeepc..they run great with linux [17:48] mbeierl1, Ideally, I want the traffic to hit the internet, but also pass through both chains as it goes out and comes back in [17:48] Jutman: no. only if you have, say, linux gateway on the internet on port 80 and any request coming in to it are to be forwarded to an internal web server's port 80 [17:48] Halitech, thanks ;) im already on that site [17:48] musicpenguin, cool :) [17:48] mbeierl1, alright I'll have to try that. [17:48] Halitech, great minds think a like ;) [17:48] Jutman: the input and output chains are not really used for masq in that way. Are you using UFW? [17:48] musicpenguin, and fools seldom differ ;) [17:49] mbeierl1, just straight iptables [17:49] Linux rules! [17:49] Halitech, O_o [17:49] Jutman: the only thing that is used for masq is the single "-A POSTROUTING -s 10..0.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE " [17:50] Jutman: the return traffic is not "input", it follows the same connection back in to the source [17:50] lonewolf: everyone here already knows that, go convince people in #windows ;) [17:50] LOL [17:50] mbeierl1, is there any way of firewalling that traffic? [17:50] Unable to active compiz on 9.04 with nVidia Corporation NV11 [GeForce2 MX/MX 400] [17:51] Thanks all for your help, g2g. [17:51] Jutman: think of it like a telephone switchboard. the call is going "out" by the client calling someone else. The other party speaking comes back over the came phone call, they don't call back to give the answer [17:51] I don't want to waste time with Winzozz users :-D [17:51] Jutman: are you thinking like web filtering? [17:51] Hola estimados, tengo un problemita, tengo dos computadores con ubuntu 9.04 en una red ambos se pueden hacer ping el uno al otro con respuesta inmediata y ambos tienes carpetas compartidas, pero cuando voy a redes los equipos no se ven y si trato de ingresar a la carpeta compartida con samba ej: smb://192.168.2.x tampoco funciona, alguien me puede dar una mano? [17:52] Bye all... and up with Ubuntu! [17:52] Whats a good ide for C++ programing? [17:52] windows users even know what irc is? [17:52] ROOOOFL [17:52] soryy I though this was the ubuntu-es [17:52] nevermind [17:52] mbeierl1, I've actually got to head out, but thanks for the help. I'll read a little more on the subject [17:52] Jutman: see, if the other party tries to call back, they HAVE to call the linux gateway, as that is the only address they know, and the gateway is already hiding the original clients from the internet at large, so they are by default firewalled. [17:52] bye [17:52] Jutman: ok, best of luck :) [17:52] Unable to active compiz on 9.04 with nVidia Corporation NV11 [GeForce2 MX/MX 400] [17:52] mbeierl1, thanks. appreciate it [17:53] Jutman: that's why we're all here :) [17:53] Anyone have any preference on C++ editors [17:53] Perferably an IDE [17:53] DVA59121: code blocks [17:53] DVA59121: geany [17:53] DVA59121, eclipse or emacs [17:53] DVA59121: Eclipse [17:53] hemanth: is codeblocks part of the repositories? I cant find it [17:54] geany im not fond of [17:54] Halitech, found 2...but one website wants about 100 and frys wants $20 [17:54] DVA59121: no its not a part of the repo [17:54] musicpenguin, frys would be a no-brainer then if there is a store close to you [17:55] Halitech, its close but i wonder why one wants $119 but frys is selling it for $19.99 [17:55] im having a strange behaviour. On a folder, I've got read access for group enabled and i am member of the group which the folder belongs to. but still when i try directory listing it gives me access denied error [17:55] musicpenguin, same model? maybe its an older model and frys is just trying to clear out stock [17:55] Halitech, Panasonic RR-US490 [17:56] reenignEesreveR: try enabling the execute bit as well. [17:56] so what is the topic of the day [17:56] thats just so odd [17:56] short__error, mullets...in or out === montel_ is now known as MontelEdwards [17:57] sipior, it worked by setting x bit ... why did this happen? [17:58] musicpenguin, I would say older stock, panasonic doesn't even list a price for it [17:58] Gparted the tool typically used to expand home partitions on Ubuntu? [17:58] musicpenguin: if i am not correct mullets are out.... [17:58] reenignEesreveR: the execute bit allows directory search. [17:58] I just did an apt-get install gparted and it's showing my hard disk as unallocated space. -.- [17:58] Halitech, ok..ill go to frys later today or tomorrow [17:58] musicpenguin, let us know how it works out [17:58] short__error, mullets are making a come back [17:58] Halitech, wil do :) === richard is now known as Guest72178 [17:59] * musicpenguin sports his finely combed mullet [17:59] musicpenguin: this is true i have seen a few out there.... [17:59] what is the off topic address? [17:59] TuxPurple, nice name [17:59] resno: #ubuntu-offtopic? [17:59] resno: If you mean the channel, there are #ubuntu-offtopic and #defocus. [17:59] resno, ubuntu... [18:00] ty musicpenguin :) [18:00] thanks sipior grawity musicpenguin [18:00] resno, that will be $2 please [18:00] musicpenguin: sure, where should i send it? [18:01] resno, i take cash, money orders, or chocolate [18:01] sysdoc, hiya :) [18:02] do any of you know anything as far as programing..... [18:02] echo "hello world" [18:02] thats about it [18:02] !ot | short__error [18:02] short__error: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [18:02] short__error, i can program my dvd player [18:02] hello folks [18:03] musicpenguin, hey dewd wassup? [18:03] diddy, hello [18:03] I have a question regarding hibernation. [18:03] sysdoc, chillin like a penguin [18:03] or suspension. [18:03] My Ubuntu 9.04 is fully encrypted. Can I still use hibernation safely? [18:03] musicpenguin, hey ya mind if I pm ya for a sec? [18:03] Is there a VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV11 [GeForce2 MX/MX 400] (rev b2) in ubuntu 9.04?? [18:04] pls can sumone help me playing .wpl filetype in ubuntu? [18:04] sysdoc, yes [18:04] i found a problem with ubuntu install [18:04] Goutam: .wpl files are simple playlists, AFAIK... just opem them in a text editor and you should see the actual URL. [18:04] i have windows and ubuntu installed [18:04] lets say i want to reinstsall ubuntu [18:04] Anybody knows? [18:05] i cant..cuz it wont see windows anymore [18:05] weird [18:05] is it possible to make a directory inherit the security settings everytime a new subfolder iis created in it? [18:05] it goes for both 8 and 9 [18:05] grawity: ya they are windows media player playlist [18:05] sysdoc, spit it out! [18:05] Goutam: are you playing it from an url ? [18:05] musicpenguin, ya said yes, as in you do mind if I'd pm ya [18:05] grawity: after opening them in text editor cn i sav them in any playlist format i want? [18:05] sysdoc, i dont mind [18:06] sysdoc, you may proceed [18:06] anyone up for some beta testing? (web based app) -- i need around 5 [18:06] How long does it usually takes before an email sent to a mailing-list appear? Or any reason why it don't? (I'm subscribed) [18:07] ehazlett, testing what? [18:07] Does anyone here knows something about problems with the 'Unlock' button in GNOME/Hardy? Someone with a Dell asked me for help with this. Do they use different versions? [18:07] Dunge, depends on the mailing list and how they have it set up [18:07] Halitech: have you heard of reconstructor? [18:07] Halitech : yeah I guess.. [18:07] how can i play a m4v file? any clue? [18:08] ehazlett, not off the top of my head but I don't remember what I had for breakfast :O [18:08] ubuntistas: with a media player [18:08] ubuntistas: .m4v's are MPEG-4 movies, so try either Totem or VLC. [18:08] too bad nobody alive in the irc channel and the mailing list don't respond [18:08] ubuntistas: I think Ubuntu comes with Totem preinstalled. [18:08] hey guys, does anyone know of any sort of virtualisation software or clustering that would allow a website to share load and files over multiple servers (preferablly running ubuntu) [18:08] Dunge, I'm on some that go right through, others are approved by a live person [18:08] grawity doesn't play [18:08] ubuntistas: if it isn't an itunes video you can play it with vlc...if it is from itunes you are out of luck [18:08] Dunge: What IRC channel would that be? [18:08] #directfb [18:08] Halitech: yeah, me neither :P here's the site... details for testing are on the front page... http://www.reconstructor.org here's a tech preview of the new version: http://reconstructor.org/pub/rv3_preview/ [18:09] Goutam: cat yourfile.wpl to a variable and loop each to vlc [18:09] it's an itunes video any clue? [18:09] ubuntistas: you could play it in your ipod [18:09] ehazlett, will take a loot [18:09] Halitech: awesome, thanks! [18:09] how can i play a m4v file? it's an itunes video [18:10] JediMaster, what you are asking for is a filesystem that can share files across multiple server. With NFS you can do this easily. And if you wanted to stadardize your web farm make them all pxeboot and put no harddrives in them [18:10] thor i screen very small [18:10] recently, gnome applets started crashing after the system is restarted. They seem to run fine otherwise. What may be the problem? [18:10] ubuntistas: play it in itunes, i'm afraid. you can try installing it under wine, i imagine. [18:10] hemanth: pls can u mak the thing a bit simpler [18:10] hemanth: i cant get it [18:10] ehazlett, not crazy on the swf file on the preview page [18:10] ubuntistas : try VLC it read any kind of video [18:10] Why is it that if I add a custom input device to xorg.conf, all hotplugging functionality goes out the window? I'm trying to add a touchscreen section, and it's killing both my mouse and my keyboard. [18:11] Halitech: there's an mp4 at the bottom [18:11] doesn't play dunge [18:11] ehazlett, I shouldn't have to download a 33 meg file to see whats already online though [18:11] mdm: I'm not asking for sharing, I need replication like a cluster, so if a machine physically blows up, there's a tiny amount of lag for a split second then the rest of the cluster takes over [18:11] Goutam: cat the wpl file and grep for media src= so that you will get the source of the file { the link }, pass that link to vlc , it will play the songs , just use a loop in a bash script [18:12] JediMaster, you dont have to make it that complex, simple round robin dns can do that [18:12] I'm using Ubuntu in live mode (CD only). Is there a way to store, say, all my installed applications and my settings to an external hard disk ? [18:12] mdm: and sharing cpu load between teh machines [18:12] Halitech: yeah, but do to the way it's setup, signup is not public yet -- still testing... [18:12] hemanth: thnx [18:12] ubuntistas: the video is in all likelihood encrypted, and won't play outside of iTunes and the remainder of the Apple demesne. Sorry. [18:12] Goutam: np [18:12] mdm: how does roundrobin dns help if the nfs server dies? [18:12] JediMaster, cluster the nfs server [18:13] JediMaster, how many 9's would you like to pay for? [18:13] thx sipior [18:13] Is there a way I can make Rhythmbox use the system-wide notifications to tell me what song it is playing when it switches songs? [18:13] mdm: as little as possible =) [18:13] ok i could not find the off topic server D= === rubydiamond is now known as rd === Kristof_D is now known as Kristof_D|AFK [18:14] I'm using Ubuntu in live mode (CD only). Is there a way to store, all my installed applications and my settings to an external hard disk ? [18:14] shorterror: There is no "off topic server", there is just a channel. (Two channels, actually) [18:14] ehazlett, so basically reinventing backup systems like remastersys [18:14] #compiz [18:14] JediMaster, thats what I thought. If the content is not great you can rdist the web server directory and use round robin dns to serve from them [18:14] shorterror: #ubuntu-offtopic [18:14] ivanatwork: Probably not. (It _might_ be possible, but it would be a lot harder than just installing Ubuntu to the same disk.) [18:15] ok that could explain my problem one to many dash's :| [18:15] mdm: unfortunately that's far from bullet proof, if a server goes down the round robin dns still points to it [18:15] Halitech: well, to be fair, reconstructor was first... ;) and remastersys is a totally different project -- you have to have a complete, running system, configured just the way you like and then backup [18:15] JediMaster, bullet proof means $$$ [18:15] how can i play a m4v file? it's an itunes video any clue? [18:15] Halitech: reconstructor allows anyone -- mac, windows, linux to rebuild the ubuntu live disc with any customizations they want -- wallpaper, themes, applications, etc. [18:15] mdm: for software or hardware? we're looking at getting 2-3 fairly beefy servers and adding to them later === rd is now known as rubydiamond [18:16] grawity, the external USB HD is slow ... thank you, btw ;) [18:16] ubuntistas: seriously, i wasn't lying to you. [18:16] mdm: would like to do the software for as little as possible so we can spend more on the hardware [18:16] JediMaster, you could put in two boxes and cluser them [18:16] and JediMaster it sort of depends on if you want fail over or clink over [18:16] lol ok sipior i know i just want if is any other way to play it [18:17] ehazlett, not sure which was around first but remastersys has its name out and around :) might work but hard to say ... what kind of testing are you looking for? [18:17] mdm: how does the clustering work, can you cluster a virtual machine and run ubuntu? or would you have to have an OS that supports it directly? [18:17] ubuntistas: yes. install iTunes via wine. that may work. [18:17] mdm: ideally failover [18:18] JediMaster, clustering works by sharing resources (mainly filesystems and ips) they have a sepeate system for checking if the other is up (disk or network) and when one dies the other takes over [18:18] mdm: how do these big companies do these scaling clustered servers? Is it something like one of the enterpirse vmware solutions? [18:18] Halitech: basic usage of the app -- create a project, let the build server build it, then download it... i just want some more eyes on it than mine :) [18:18] ehazlett, so its all done online? [18:18] JediMaster, with something called a F5 load balancer and multiple web servers [18:18] is there a way i can play Counter Strike Source on Ubuntu =/ [18:19] sipior, could you please tell me how to set execute bit automatically everytime a subdirectory is created? [18:19] Halitech: yep, completely online. you can even build a project from an iphone [18:19] JediMaster, F5 is one of many people who make load balancers [18:19] like the cisco load balancing boxes? [18:19] installed one many moons ago [18:19] ehazlett, well I don't have an iphone but sure, I'll give it a shot [18:19] JediMaster, yes [18:19] ivanatwork, you could try making a live usb drive that is persistent, plenty of tutorials on that [18:19] Halitech: yeah, neither do i, but i was just saying [18:20] so one external ip, goes into the box and splits between the servers and then share the FS and database between the two (or more) servers [18:20] halitech: email the address on the front page of the website -- i will get you an account [18:20] ehazlett: I'm in the middle of building my own live image to carry around on a pendrive with me, I'll give it a shot. [18:20] JediMaster, yes [18:20] ehazlett, be a cool feature for someone who's computer is down and needs an OS as long as they can download it from another system [18:20] I'm still liking the idea of clustered virtual machines [18:20] JediMaster, because buying 1U rack servers is cheper then buying 10U high end servers [18:20] indeed [18:20] Thingymebob: cool -- check http://www.reconstructor.org (front page) -- email the address for an account [18:20] JediMaster, what do you do if the vm machine goes down? [18:20] Halitech: thx [18:21] anybody here know anything about postfix? [18:21] ehazlett: will do [18:21] load balance two vms? ;-D [18:21] Thingymebob: thanks :) [18:21] ehazlett, what subject line? [18:21] Halitech: Reconstructor Beta will be fine [18:22] JediMaster, it will work, its overkill, but it will work. How much will you spend on two mid range servers rather then 4 1U servers and a load balancer? [18:22] hi, i'm trying to do this: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=73599 but i can only set the opacity between 0 and 100 [18:22] ehazlett, email sent [18:22] Are there going to be any packages for Python 3.1? [18:22] Halitech: cool -- expect a return shortly :) [18:22] JediMaster, keep in mind web servers use relativly little CPU, some memory and mostly network [18:23] reenignEesreveR: you can set the mask to 027: "umask 027". new directories should have permissions "rwxr-x---" [18:23] JediMaster, clustering is for CPU and memory intensive apps, like a database. web servers dont even come close tho needing that kind of resouces [18:24] hello people [18:24] reenignEesreveR: might be easier just to change them all after the fact: "chmod -R g=rx " [18:25] ehazlett: email sent [18:25] sipior, is it possible to do it without changing the umask? [18:25] Thingymebob: cool [18:25] guys .. I have setup a cronjob http://pastie.org/528211 [18:25] sipior, actually i wanna do it for a particular directory only [18:25] but utils:populate_feeds never gets run [18:25] can somebody help .. [18:25] reenignEesreveR: then "chmod g=rx " [18:26] sipior, i'll have to do a chmod everytime a new subdir is created? [18:26] Are there going to be any packages for Python 3.1? [18:26] Threetimes, if you want a good window manager, try emerald [18:26] the transparency isn't the problem, it is the blur [18:27] brb [18:27] sipior, does sticky bit help? [18:27] reenignEesreveR: yes. consider writing a small script to do this if you find it tedious. or, as i mentioned earlier, you can use the recursive (-R) switch for chmod. [18:27] Threetimes, emerald does that very well [18:28] sipior, for certain reasons that isn't feasible for me [18:28] isn't there any way of inheriting parent directory's security attributres? [18:28] reenignEesreveR: the sticky bit on a directory means that only owners of a file can delete that file, irrespective of the permission set on the parent directory. [18:28] reenignEesreveR: write a script, then. [18:29] guys .. I have setup a crontab http://pastie.org/528211 .. but second crontab never run [18:30] Hello all, first time connecting to irc [18:30] Is it possible to run two xsessions at once? I want to run fluxbox primarily but be able to switch to gnome without logging out [18:30] !welcome | glavanway [18:30] glavanway: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel. [18:30] hello glavanway [18:30] i am getting some mis rendered fonts in Qt applications like Skype, VLC etc. Anyone else experience this? [18:31] hi to all [18:31] So this is a 'chat room' based on support for ubuntu?? [18:31] hi, the blur in http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=73599 doesn't work [18:31] glavanway: yes [18:31] Awesome! [18:31] glavanway: that would be an accurate description :P [18:31] i've a Windows installed on HD 1, and Ubuntu on HD2, i install first windows XP, and later ubuntu. But when i reboot my grub not load only load windows boot [18:31] glavanway: correct'ish -- not a chat room, a support channel :) [18:31] rubydiamond, try #bash [18:31] Bodsda: Same thing. [18:32] join #compiz [18:32] grawity: not really, chat room insinuates a non-formal topic, whereas support channel insinuates a formal topic [18:32] I have been using ubuntu for years. Before ubuntu I used RedHat and Fedora. I just recently ditched windows completely and now I am hving issues. [18:32] chat rooms have doors [18:32] sorry, forgot the slash [18:32] glavanway: thats how it always goes... ;0 [18:32] !details | glavanway [18:32] glavanway: 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 ..." [18:32] Bodsda, irc implies channels, it does not have rooms [18:33] x3rm: ok pastebin your Grub menu.list and i'll have a look [18:33] are there any turks here? [18:33] sebsebseb, i think i need to reinstall grub [18:33] with livecd but i don't know what issue with my localdisk when i disable the first disk [18:33] why fail [18:33] !tr | beratalp [18:33] beratalp: Turk ubuntu kullanıcıları, Türkçe yardım ya da geyik için #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde. [18:33] and show Grub error 2 [18:33] mdm: hmm, not sure why you sent that to me. I'm quite happy with the statement "It does not have rooms" -- and how does the words 'Internet' 'Relay' 'Chat' imply channels? [18:34] irc doesn't have any rooms like linux doesn't have any folders [18:34] I am running ubuntu 9.04 (2.6.30 kernel) on a Dell Latitude X300. The issue is not matter what I do I cannot set the resolution higher than 1024x786. [18:34] beratalp, No, they went to istanbulive [18:34] splitting hair is fun [18:34] channel - room, folder - directory... [18:35] its a channel, and they are direcotries. I dont see the confusion [18:35] tomato - tomato, oh that doesn't work so well in chat [18:35] hehe [18:35] anyway, back to my original question [18:35] Bodsda: When IRC was initially created, "channels/rooms" were numbered - 1, 4, 7, 123 ... like TV channels or something. [18:35] Is it possible to run two xsessions at once? I want to run fluxbox primarily but be able to switch to gnome without logging out [18:36] Bodsda, RFC1459 [18:36] ehazlett, playing around with it now, I assume all necessary packages are installed by default? [18:36] Hi, I was wondering if anyone who has a working xorg.conf with DualHead (for fglrx) on jaunty would be willing to share it? [18:36] Bodsda that would sort of negate the purpose of running fluxbox. Sorry never heard of running 2 at once. [18:36] Halitech: yeah, the base ubuntu build -- [18:36] ehazlett, ok [18:36] mdm: a request for comments does not explain implication of three seperate words [18:37] What is the average battery run time for a dell latitud [18:37] To fill in xorg.conf dbu run "sudo dexconf -o /etc/X11/xorg.conf" [18:37] Bodsda, go read it [18:37] Bodsda: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=two x sessions at a time [18:38] Bodsda: sure, you can have two X Window sessions running. have a look at "Xnest" (there might even be a menu entry for this by default) [18:38] ehazlett: Cheers, do you have a dedicated channel or are you always in here? [18:38] I have a Dell Latitude X300 with 2 batteries and I get about an hour on one. [18:38] bucky: Please remain helpful. That sort of response is not welcome here. [18:38] Thingymebob: yeah -- ##reconstructor === pyrak_ is now known as pyrak [18:38] it was the first result [18:38] ehazlett:8-) [18:39] bucky: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Why do I post slightly rude links to make a point when I myself have not validated the results, because if I had I would have realised that they no longer work [18:39] Bodsda: You forgot to replace spaces with +'s. [18:39] I am running ubuntu 9.04 (2.6.30 kernel) on a Dell Latitude X300. The issue is not matter what I do I cannot set the resolution higher than 1024x786.

I can access wifi router (netgear wg614) from my laptop using wifi, accessing IP 10.0.0.1 (default was 192.168.1.1, but it's the same as adsl's). But I cannot wifi access adsl router, neither wifi router, from my PC. Can someone help me, please? [18:41] ActionParsnip: didn't know that it's out tommorow, cool [18:41] ActionParsnip: You'll probably want to ask the firefox people that. I'm not sure if there's a channel on freenode, but #firefox on irc.mozilla.org should be able to answer that [18:41] sebsebseb: http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&taxonomyName=open_source&articleId=9134936&taxonomyId=88&intsrc=kc_top [18:41] BTW yakuake is a pretty cool terminal app. check it out.

[18:44] Kristof_D: yeah, I get an error stating that the xserver is already running [18:44] lenswipe: not familiar, sorry [18:44] ehazlett, if I add a package, will it automatically include all dependencies as well?

[18:45] Bodsda: right, I forgot that by default it always starts in tty7, but maybe there's some kind of command line option?

[18:50] msalil87: fwiw, if you aren't using the LTS release (8.04) you should upgrade as often as you can - in my opinion anyway [18:50] sipior: xnest opens in a window on the current xserver [18:50] It's the official .bin [18:50] Bodsda: sure does. [18:50] sipior: xinit -display :1 and :1.0 [18:50] msalil87: how big the update will be depends on what you have got installed. you dont need to download the CD though [18:50] msalil87: it depends on what packages you have installed [18:51] msalil87: you can test if you'd like, start the upgrade but go up to the very last point but don't tell the system to kick off the upgrade, it will tell you [18:51] Bodsda: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/slackware-linux-help/52259-startx-multiple-ttys.html [18:51] ActionParsnip, sorry for my simple question, but what's my AP? I have a ethernet on my PC connected to the wifi router, but I cannot access the both routers from the PC... [18:51] Bodsda: there are examples given in the two man pages. have you tried them? [18:51] msalil87: the amunt will depend on the packages that make up your system. [18:51] thank you all :) [18:51] everton137: AP = access point = your wifi router [18:51] sweet, thanks a lot Kristof_D [18:51] msalil87: a little over 200 M [18:51] sipior: all sorted, cheers dude [18:52] everton137: its the wireless centre point you are connecting to...the thing that you bought to give you a wireless connection.

If I have a desktop already set up with ubuntu on it and then add a wireless PCI card to it will it auto find it or will I have to re-install to get it to notice it?

[19:08] Veratyr9, afaik, ATi drivers are rather broken in Ubuntu 9.04. [19:08] Jutman: lemme check again what I've got. I'm using ufw (which helps keep things clean across reboots for me)...

Intel should have fixed the issue in 9.10 though ;) [19:08] I once tried to change the init to my program that prints helloworld.. by replacing /sbin/init.. But the ubuntu kernel returns it cannot execute... why? [19:09] msalil87: I think GRUB expects the boot.ini file to be in correct [19:09] ibuclaw: alright, kinda figured that [19:09] Veratyr9, although, that is months away yet ... [19:09] msalil87: what did you do to /sbin/init? [19:09] crawl3r: Grub does not look for any file.. It goes to the boot sector.. [19:09] Veratyr9, the joys of depending on binary drivers ... New kernels break them. [19:09] Jutman: I have no forward rule. I masq all local (10.0.0.0) traffic coming in on eth1 to eth0 and that's all I need for masqing to work. what stops working when you remove your forward rule? all masquerading?

[19:11] mbeierl, yes [19:11] mbeierl, its all on the gateway [19:11] Jutman: ok, then yes, it might be something like that - that the users using the vpn need somehow to get out? but that should not affect the internal network [19:11] is there a way to do a dryrun on a make install from source ? === KingArthur is now known as Guest19327 [19:12] I can no longer d/l and save files in firefox.

[19:12] jiffe: Look for executables in the build dir? [19:12] Jutman: so it's only the VPN users that have the problem? Not the machines on the local network? [19:12] openvpn users can get onto it without that rule, but the l2tp users need that one [19:12] mbeierl, thats correct. [19:12] I did a "su -" to be root, and an "ls -al" of /home/vmail/mybox/info, and it shows no files and 3 folders, but says there are 20 items. what do I have to do to see the files?

[19:14] hubar, suggest you avoid resume templates entirely [19:14] Jutman: ok - it /might/ be a client-side thing though [19:14] a template is a confession of dullness [19:14] mbeierl, I do know a thing or two about using the route command, just not forwarding with iptables [19:14] can anyone help me in compiling drivers pleas?

[19:24] msalil87: I don't think this is going to be the right place to ask that question ... this is more for help with using Ubuntu, not customizing a distro.... [19:25] Ok ok.. Never mind..

[19:25] msalil87: I didn't say don't ask, I just think the users here might not know :) [19:26] msalil87: if you use a virtual machine instead of an actual physical machine for developing a new distro from scratch, messing up your existing physical installation would be less likely [19:26] !es | Ayudaaaa [19:26] Ayudaaaa: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[19:29] Hilikus: technically, yes, if you use ssh keys and have ssh agent loaded with the keys as part of the desktop startup [19:29] cyberghoser1: hi ;) [19:29] just ask sharddx here in channel, give full details of what happens [19:30] msalil87, how ubuntu boots (well linux in general) is by the boot deivce loading a kernel and loading a ram disk (well one of many ways to do it), It is that ramdisk that then loads the os (in the case of ubuntu passes it to init) [19:30] mbeierl: actually i was plannning on having the script prompt me for a password, but i don't know if there's any way in ubuntu to ask for a password thrgouh a GUI but from a shell script === MBD123|cleaning is now known as MBD123 [19:30] Any known issues that would cause a Windows network to not be available.

I thought you were looking for transparent, passwordless ssh [19:31] mdm: Right. so the init is a user mode program.. meaning i can replace it by another.. thats what i tried.. but kernel says "Cannot execute" [19:31] mbeierl: oh no, sorry i didn't specify [19:32] Can someone tell me how to add a specific rfcomm devive to the Gnome Network manager (the thing with the tray icon) So I can use it to connect via PPP instead of using "pon ...", which isn't properly integrated into the environemt?

[19:32] Hilikus: I am not sure you can get that password to SSH though.

[19:38] Alphanaut, there is no ubuntu parition manager, it uses a partition manager, but its not ubuntu. In fact other then some specifc assembling of software there is noting you can point at that says this is ubuntu [19:38] so i have an ntfs partition that has winblows on it, during ubuntu 9.04 installation i originally allocated 20gb for ubuntu, then later decided to resize the drive again. problem is, the original 250gb drive now only shows as 230gb total, and doesn't show the 20gb free space that it should [19:39] plz [19:39] like screen resolution never saves for next restart [19:39] i need u [19:39] it appears in all partitioning software that the actual drive is now only 230gb instead of 230 === rajesh is now known as Guest1863 [19:39] !ask | hason [19:39] hason: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

Mine seems to be giving me issues on a daily basis. It will suddenly start running, using no CPU but 19% Nice, which results in my computer lagging. Closing the process fixes it and seems to not affect anything else [19:40] Alphanaut, all a partition manager does is read the geometery of the disk and make paritions in units that geometry tells it. [19:40] why does he not respond this time? [19:40] screen resolution never saves for next restart, mouse4 and mouse5 don't work in Opera :( [19:40] Alphanaut, barring something really screwed up the drive the partition manager only tells you what the drive told it [19:40] shavinder: Its a bot, and it has flood protection. [19:40] i'm aware of that, that's what is so strange. the drive is physically 250gb, however after the resize it appears in all software that it's only a 230gb drive [19:41] :-) oui Ubottu [19:41] Pici, is there anyway to allow shortcurts to be active in ubuntu while focus in on a VM or am i forced to minimise all the times, can you suggest anything (specially since i have to go back and forwards)? [19:41] like 20gb just disappeared! [19:41] lemme try this was [19:41] way* [19:41] where r u [19:41] reporting a spambot on ubuntu forums : http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=865261 [19:41] Ubottu: Hi! good bot [19:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about Hi! good bot [19:41] ha ha [19:41] !backup | soulwarp [19:41] soulwarp, please see my private message [19:41] !msgthebot | shavinder [19:41] shavinder: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots.

It sort of depends on if you make drives or use them. [19:42] is there any one can help me [19:42] ? [19:42] doubleyou: We don't actually handle the forums here, you may want to mention it in #ubuntuforums [19:42] k [19:42] hello [19:42] Alphanaut, also keep in mind filesystems have metadata (things that hold the information tags), and they are also written in spave [19:42] need help compiling drivers for a 2.6 kernel for a DFE-250TX D-link card pleas [19:42] mdm, you aren't getting me. i'm not sqabbling about math. i'm saying that prior to partitioning, the drive was 250gb total size, and after the partition manager worked on it, now it shows as only 230gb total, like 20gb just vanished. [19:43] hmmm [19:43] Alphanaut, and ext specificially saves out space from the filesystem for overheaad [19:43] i'm not saying that somehting is taking up 20 more gb, i'm saying that 20gb disappeared [19:43] So gentlemen, is there no way to force sudo to upgrade 'just' pidgin and not the whole damn OS? [19:43] windows manager shows that it's a 230gb drive now, gparted shows it's a 230gb drive [19:43] Alphanaut, drive manufacturers use a different size measurement [19:43] shavinder: sudo apt-get install --reinstall pidgin should grab the latest version [19:43] hahah no no, it was a 250gb drive RIGHT BEFORE i used GPARTED [19:44] Alphanaut, if it was 250 and you partitioned it to 20 wouldnt it have 230 now or did i misunderstand? [19:44] Alphanaut, pastebin fdisk -l /dev/sdX where X is the drive letter [19:44] i found a patch on launchpad that i need to install, how do i apply it? [19:44] Alphanaut, partitioned hard drives never show the full sixe [19:44] size* [19:44] Alphanaut, in that case, it is the Journaling that is taking up the extra space [19:44] Pici: wow thanks. thats a great tip [19:44] yes, i would have a 230gb partition and a 20gb partition, however that's now what shows up now. now it shows as a 230gb drive, with no 20gb part. [19:44] bizarro [19:44] does anyone know how to run a command from a shell script after an ssh connection has been established? if i put it in the next line it doesn't run until ssh is killed [19:44] ok [19:44] oh well [19:44] hello all [19:44] Hilikus: ssh user@host.com yourcommandgoeshere [19:45] Alphanaut, Journaling is an important part of the modern FS which helps prevent data loss [19:45] Hilikus: or do you mean on the local system? [19:45] Pici, is there anyway to allow shortcurts to be active in ubuntu while focus in on a VM or am i forced to minimise all the times, can you suggest anything (specially since i have to go back and forwards)? [19:45] need help compiling drivers for a 2.6 kernel for a DFE-250TX D-link card pleas [19:45] Pici: that runs it remotely, i mean to start something locally [19:45] Alphanaut, i very much doubt journaling would take an extra 20b [19:46] i agree pirate [19:46] +1 [19:46] Alphanaut, i very much doubt journaling would take an extra 20gb you probably didnt activate the partition or it is running ubuntu* [19:46] bye [19:46] Alphanaut, what I suspect is your are looking at internal loss intrinsic to using a hard drive. The whole thing is called a waterfall graph and shows where storage is used. It is acutally part of storage resource management. But like I said show us an output of the partition table as seen my fdisk and I will tell you where that 20G mystically vanished to. [19:46] Hilikus: why not just start new session? [19:46] Pirate_Hunter, Alphanaut: I believe on a standard Jaunty install ext3 will reserve 5% of the drive for journaling [19:46] hmm [19:46] Pirate_Hunter: I'm not sure thats possible. [19:46] n0gear what do you mean?? [19:46] somebody do the math. [19:46] i had some problems with ext4 lately when deleting a big bunch of files [19:47] i dont feel like it :P [19:47] Pici, ahhh not what i want to here still thanks it is just bothersome and slow moving from vm to desktop [19:47] Hilikus: You could use nohup ssh user@host &; newcommand [19:47] i heard it was a kernel issue [19:47] hello [19:47] badr, 2.6.30 clears up a lot of ext4 related issues [19:47] im very new to ubuntu and i need to get my drivers compiled but dont have a clue how too do that [19:48] i'm running latest 2.6.28-13 generic kernel [19:48] Is there a deb/sources.list repository for Jaunty to installed firefox 3.5rc? [19:48] i need some help to use skype with ubuntu [19:48] What Distro would you recommend for an old laptop, PIII 800mhz [19:48] ok i'll go get kernel 2.6.30 [19:48] probably not much ram [19:48] hey guys! turns out that after running first two commands from here http://www.ivankristianto.com/2009/06/solve-yahoo-messenger-problem-with-pidgin-2-5-7/ and on going back to Synaptic, the synaptic clearly shows that pidgin can BE upgraded to 2.5.7 ! Now could it be that I had to take two steps to upgrade, ie from too earlier version to 2.5.1 and then to 2.5.7 or did the two commands... [19:48] ...from the url did the trick? I dont know [19:48] sharddx: Why do you think you need to compile the modules? [19:48] shavinder: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:48] thx man, i was hesitating [19:48] Johnny_5, sudo aptitude install firefox-3.5 [19:48] JohnTeddy, see above [19:48] thanks cabrey [19:48] jophish, i would check out puppy linux if i were u [19:48] Pici: would that let me interact with the ssh process?? thing is i need to enter a passowrd in the ssh process to connect and then once that connection is stablished i need to run a second command which uses the ssh tunnel [19:49] ok, thanks [19:49] cabrey: Will this install the latest rc build? [19:49] Alphanaut, also keep in mind 230G is what 250G would be if you counted a K as 1000 instead of 1024 [19:49] Pici: but i want to automate it all, except entering the password of course [19:49] JohnTeddy, I don't think it's the latest, you'll have to ask the maintainers to update the package [19:49] hmm [19:49] i've a skupe phone and i don't know how to use it in ubuntu [19:49] well in any case my upgrade is running in synaptic.

[20:13] cabrey: He doesn't have a computer running on windows [20:13] ok back I asumb that comandlines for updating ubuntu but im not conected to the internet hence why i need to install the network card and that brings us back to sqeur one of how to compile drivers XD [20:13] t [20:13] amseidler, so you can't compare. it affects OS X too... there's really nothing you can do, but turning compiz off does help [20:14] cabrey: Are you serious? [20:14] anyone using microsoft intellimouse under ubuntu? Mouse4 and 5 don't seem to work [20:14] cabrey: How is compiz in the way? [20:15] can I specify port in hosts? [20:15] anyway to know if a server system requires a restart due to updates? [20:15] amseidler, it's a rather complex issue, but compiz somehow blocks hardware acceleration. there is a post on adobe's linux blog about it [20:15] cabrey: How can I disable it? I type in killall compiz in terminal, and it still seems to be running [20:16] how can i control the system bell noise? like, turn it on/off, etc [20:16] Pici: it worked! kinda, i had to add a couple of other switches but -f was the main one. thanks a lot [20:16] amseidler, how did you turn it on?

The thing with older Nvidia cards may or may not apply. The driver isn't supported anymore. Sorry. [21:51] topramen_, depends on the context, usually something like *.host.com, a mask describing a host or set of hosts [21:51] hello tomboy wont sync to local folder, what could be the issue?

Is there a way to set it to act like the old style mv? [21:56] joaopinto: the driver you mentioned would also be 2.8, correct? [21:57] ZummiG777, if you refer to the command line mv, it was not changed [21:57] Does anyone know if the Nvidia drivers support hardware CUDA/PhysX? My card supports it, I just wondered if it was offered by Nvidia's Linux driver. [21:57] ZummiG777, and mv between different file system is a copy/delete [21:58] AH!

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [22:39] So... I've installed cvs and cvsweb, However, I use webmin, so setting up cvs was done for me. I need to tell cvsweb where the repos are, I'm not doing well at this. I also need to figure out where cvsweb is and how to get it to VirtualServer/cvs/ , Hints? [22:39] sebsebseb: force mount... i'll google it thanks [22:39] Blinkiz: iptraf. google that and you're find others [22:39] mattalexx: ssh -X, ssh does X forwarding. [22:39] Stanley_: np [22:39] Rabbitbunny: people still use cvs? [22:39] ok thanks =] [22:39] jrib: I'm looking for easy install, not features. [22:39] carlos_, cambiale la fuente de poder en tu computadora, proxima pregunta [22:39] You mean I can load a Gnome session in my WinXP workstation? [22:39] Blinkiz: actually, iptraf does LANs, not pids on a single machine. still, google that and 'sniffers' for more results [22:39] How would I go about doing that? [22:40] orale [22:40] mattalexx: not natively [22:40] solo cambio la fuente de poder [22:40] Rabbitbunny: just seems like subversion, and dvcs like git, bzr, darcs, and hg have taken over [22:40] I have an Ubuntu VM that's on the network, would that work? [22:40] mattalexx: there is a way to get Gnome running with Cygwin I think, also Linux virtual machines, but Windows as host not the best idea [22:40] jrib: I'm sure they have, but I use ubuntu for a reason, It's not because I like .conf files. [22:40] mattalexx: Yes. [22:41] mattalexx: vm's can be networked together depending on the vm software your using [22:41] carlos_, el power supply, intenta prender la computadora y fijate si el abanico funciona en el power supply [22:41] Virtualbox [22:41] how do i run a command after connecting to a wireless network BASED ON THE NETWORK? [22:41] mattalexx: yeah should be able to do it with that [22:41] Actually I think I have a VMware WS Ubuntu VM around here somewhere too. [22:41] i can see the wireless network but when i try to connect to it i get this error "/etc/network/interfaces:28:duplicate option [22:41] /sbin/ifup: couldn't read interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces"" then "operation failed" any ideas? [22:41] mattalexx: go to #vbox and ask them :) [22:42] * mobi-sheep growls and ponder how he could get his Bluetooth mouse back after idling away from the laptop. [22:42] Rabbitbunny: webmin isn't even supported on ubuntu [22:42] !webmin | Rabbitbunny [22:42] Rabbitbunny: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [22:42] jrib: It's in the repos, and I don't need help with Webmin, just cvs and cvsweb [22:42] fedorauser162: are you trying to bring up the network with ifup? [22:42] and I don't like ebox. [22:42] Rabbitbunny: what version of ubuntu is this? [22:42] 8.04 [22:42] rickest, Thanks for the suggestions. iptraf seems not to be what am looking for. "iftop" is better i believe. You say sniffer. That's also in TCP/IP level and not application level. Or? [22:43] th0r, with the gui so i think so [22:43] sebsebseb, Is this something I do from the login screen? [22:43] mattalexx: don't think so [22:43] mattalexx: don't know [22:43] Rabbitbunny: webmin is not in hardy repositories. What repositories are you using? [22:44] rickest, iptraf was a nice program. Finding all sorts of nice statistics in this program. Anyway, its not what am looking for [22:44] fedorauser162: network manager doesn't use the file /etc/network/interfaces. I think if you want to fall back to the old way of doing things (ifup and ifdown) you will have to uninstall network manager and set up the interfaces file [22:44] Blinkiz: yeah, I knew iptraf was wrong after I said it :) However, when I found iptraf I also found others that worked at the application layer, too, and that's where I meant to direct you [22:44] jrib: Look, It's great that you've told me that webmin isn't supported, I don't really care. I have the software, It works. I need help with cvs and cvsweb. I simply mentioned webmin in passing. [22:44] Rabbitbunny: it becomes relevant if you aren't using official repositories [22:45] Having proxy problems. I already created ftp_proxy and http_proxy in the bash.bashrc. When I do sudo apt-get update. It works. But when i use pidgin or dropbox or the GUI package manager, it does work and gives by a proxy error. Have any idea? [22:45] jrib: No it doesn't. [22:45] a [22:45] Rabbitbunny: good luck with your issue [22:45] jrib: Thanks :D [22:46] Blinkiz: nethogs, tcpick, tcpflow and again, if neither are those are exactly what you need, googling them and "compared to" will certainly find others [22:46] How do I input terminal commands to execute one after the other, sequentially? (I want to put them on one line.) [22:46] ethereality: ; [22:46] Is it something like "cd [folder] | ftp"? jrib: it's ";" not "|"? [22:46] rickest, okay, nice. Yeah, finding something here. NetHogs for example. === lena is now known as elenaw [22:47] ethereality: command1; command2 ... [22:47] rickest, oh, there came your post. Thanks for the suggestions :) [22:47] Blinkiz: yeah, I think that's the only one I sent that's close to what you're looking for [22:47] Great, thanks! :) [22:47] stuck in a dep hell with ksplice ksplice-uptrack: Depends: python-yaml but it is not going to be installed <--along with other packages that wont install [22:47] Blinkiz: nethogs, I mean [22:47] grrr....

[22:48] mobi-sheep: just write "goto" in your programs, and the raptors will come jumping, wanting to install ubuntu (and eat you) [22:48] see xkcd.com ;-) [22:48] I have the volume controls and everything, but no sound. [22:49] mobi-sheep: ... [22:49] rrajaratnam: tried external speakers yet? [22:49] rrajaratnam, open up alsamixer in a console and turn up the volume [22:49] rickest, Yeaahh, nethogs is displaying bandwidth per process. Thanks rickest :) [22:49] I'm trying to open stuck cdrom/dvd drive by inserting a 1.5cm pointed object. Nothing happens when I insert it, except I hit some resistance. Similarly, nothing happens when I poke deeply with a quite pliable piece of guitar string [22:49] any tips?

[22:55] i need some help [22:55] mezquitale: that only gives the name, not the userid, I guess [22:55] rrajaratnam, if you type what I asked you to type earlier you would know, you already know what sound card you have, now you need to see what modules youre using [22:55] jonaskoelker: download a youtube video. Actually, I found the youtube-dl in the Synaptic Package manager and am applying that. I've never used it before though. [22:55] ok and now ?

[23:00] Whenever I boot, after the loading screen, I'll come to a black backlit screen where I have about a second and a half to bash the keyboard.

[23:00] UbNoob: you can play it with mplayer while it's downloading [23:00] UbNoob: the file name is the same as the video ID [23:00] rrajaratnam, can you answer the question that i asked you minutes ago, where are you trying to get sound from???? are you using headphones or speakers in a alaptop or what? [23:00] anyone ever have luck getting sound to work on a mac mini ? [23:00] joaopinto, I am not here it discuss what linux really is... I know its a kernel... but it is also a general term to talk about OSes that run linux kernels and follow certain standards [23:00] I was about to upgrade from intrepid to jaunty when it told me there is no fglrx driver for jaunty... what is the situation there? [23:00] UbNoob: that is, 8 random-looking characters in the URL [23:00] mezquitale, speakers on a laptop [23:01] Titan8990, I can point you tward many differnt distros, based upn Debians apt and Redhats rpm that are both live from CD, and not. I can show you ones that run 100% on scripts and have no binaires, run on CF cards and run on just about any storage out there [23:01] UbNoob: after "v=" [23:01] Titan8990, not going OT, bye [23:01] how can i change the group of a folder? [23:01] rrajaratnam, then it is highly likely the speakers in your laptop are busted, try using headphones [23:01] UbNoob: oh, I misspoke, more than 8 [23:01] foomatic, chgrp [23:01] foomatic: chown user:group file-or-folder [23:01] foomatic, on the terminal: man chgrp [23:01] joaopinto: ty [23:01] UltraBeatdown: you need to press CTRL+ALT+F8 as soon as you can and watch for errors, fix those errors.

[23:02] it's easy. [23:02] jonaskoelker: See? it's flaky, you should replace it. It's fun.... [23:03] jonaskoelker: So whatever is after the v8. I can copy that and play it? That's a really long file name! [23:03] Rabbitbunny: yeah, it really had me laughing :\ [23:03] Titan8990, I didnt say there wasnt.

[23:04] mdm, and i misunderstood, gentoo has binaries, but no binary packages [23:04] Stanley_, better check that ntfs partition [23:04] Titan8990, ok if you want to get technical then, there is no linux NONE that is not binary becase technicaly the kernel is linux. Then again everything it is runniing is called linux and we can arge all day long over what is and what is not [23:04] UbNoob: for instance, if the URL is "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HIlvzjBpjY&feature=related", then the video ID is 0HIlvzjBpjY [23:04] I love a Ubuntu. [23:04] joaopinto: any way to do that in linux or do i need to boot to windows? apparently the drive is full of viruses so i'm hesitant to boot into windows even from a different drive [23:04] mdm, too much ot [23:04] UbNoob: and the filename is "the video id.flv" [23:04] ubuntuyo_: glad to hear it ;-) [23:04] Stanley_, windows is most likely to be able to recover an ntfs partition, if possible [23:05] Stanley_, it should be safe as long you don't boot and you dont run anything from it [23:05] mezquitale, http://pastebin.com/d7a9690bd [23:05] joaopinto: remember... we _are_ talking about windows.... "should..." is the word of the devil [23:05] fo [23:05] mobi-sheep: Do not know if it helps but i have a rocket fish blue tooth keyboard and mouse the dongle it came with did not work very well, i had a generic one lying around and it works like a charm [23:06] jonaskoelker: Thank you very much!

[23:06] jonaskoelker I came from irc.hanirc.org #ubuntu [23:07] ctmjr: Hmm. It worked. But when I leave the laptop for awhile and came back. It just "toggle" off. (Insert sad face here). [23:07] rrajaratnam, it looks like the hardware is configured correctly, i suggest shutting down all sound appz like rhythmbox and firefox and try the test again [23:07] UbNoob: you're welcome :) [23:07] Hello, could I specify the mirror that the update manager uses ?? [23:07] manually [23:07] ubuntuyo_: cool. "hanirc"---is that korean? [23:08] epaphus: if I understand what you want: yes. You can edit /etc/apt/sources.list, or look at the "software sources" control panel thing... [23:08] mezquitale, only apps I have running now are pidgn, terminal, & xchat [23:08] right. [23:08] epaphus: may be in the system->administration menu [23:08] does nayone know how to turn v-sync on? [23:08] mezquitale, test is still the same, no sound [23:08] jonaskoelker: Is there some reference somewhere with command line, uh, commands? [23:08] UbNoob: yes [23:08] UbNoob: probably many ;-) your google-fu is as good as mine I guess === ubuntu is now known as mrmental [23:09] test 123 maybe im blocked hello just say something dont know if im really on line [23:09] jonaskoelker I'm a korean. so I cann't understand a lot what they are saying. [23:09] mezquitale, can it be sound kind of permission error on a file, or do i need to be in a group? [23:09] UbNoob, are you asking if there is a refernce for your shell? [23:09] duke, yes you are [23:09] qe2eqe: You there? [23:09] rrajaratnam, i suggest you go to #alsa when people are there, maybe someone can help you but from what weve done so far it looks like everything is working fine, you just have to raise up the volume [23:09] okay [23:09] mdm: yes. sorry...I'm obviously a noob and don't know the correct terms. [23:09] UbNoob: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [23:09] !man [23:09] The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | Manpages online: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ [23:10] rrajaratnam, it sounds like you dont have the volume up, your sound card is configured and it does the test correctly yet no sound [23:10] UbNoob, thats only because there is more then one shell. Presuming you are using bash or dash go to GNU (the ones who created it) http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html [23:10] man pages are useless if you don't know what to look up ;) [23:10] Rabbitbunny: apropos [23:10] brb [23:10] I think 9.04 doesn't surporting a ATI perfectly. so I'm using 8.04.

[23:16] mobi-sheep, when I used an upgraded machine I had all my stuff from 8.10 and such, but I'm on a new Jaunty install and it doesn't play dvd movies out of the box [23:16] I have compiled a newer version of libglib2.0-0 and it broke a symbol in libgio2.0, how can I revert to the standard libglib2.0 without uninstalling my system?! [23:16] grr [23:17] darlek: You read this too already? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [23:17] mobi-sheep, i'll try it now [23:17] apt-get remove libglib2.0-0 wants to remove over 1 gig of packages.. I DON'T WANT THAT!! [23:17] I simply want to regress to an older version.. [23:18] I wish Ubuntu will be a Standard OS of the world. [23:18] mobi-sheep, I was on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats, so close ;) [23:18] xeer: those packages require libglib2.0-0 [23:18] lstarnes: yes I know. that's why I choose no.. [23:18] hello [23:18] EvilMatt hi... [23:18] Hello EvilMatt [23:18] what do I do with a ".1" or "-static" file? [23:18] EvilMatt: Hi :) [23:18] darlek: There are guides on that too (only if you knew how to RTFM in first place). :) [23:18] bastidrazor: nothing on that page seems to help [23:18] i have a question about ubuntu [23:18] lstarnes: I have no clue what libraries are in the libglib package, i can't do it manually. [23:19] EvilMatt: ask away [23:19] EvilMatt, go ahead [23:19] xeer: why do you want to remove it? [23:19] !ask | EvilMatt [23:19] EvilMatt: 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. :-) [23:19] mobi-sheep, hmm... no packages to install ie: libdvdread4 [23:19] what do I do with a ".1" or "-static" file? is it executable? [23:19] I'm more annoyed by !ask than people asking to ask... [23:19] lstarnes: not remove, but install an older version of the package. I compiled 2.6 of libglib and it has conflicting symbols in libgio [23:19] mobi-sheep, i'll try synaptic [23:19] lstarnes: I just want to go from 2.6 back to 2.0 [23:19] I'm more annoyed at ubottu :0 [23:19] nofilicity: does it have a .so in its name? [23:20] i have the new ubuntu the jackalope one.. and i cant seem to get the "extra visual effects" to work. i even went as far as to go out and buy a new video card and install the drivers for it.. and still nothing [23:20] xeer: why would you need to? [23:20] no [23:20] nofilicity: what's the file's name? [23:20] darlek: Try "sudo aptitude search libdvdread" and you'll get a list of packages. [23:20] lstarnes: libgio2.0-0 says there is a undefined symbol: g_thread_gettime [23:20] ah, it was an executable. [23:20] EvilMatt: enable compiz, tutorials on google. [23:20] thanks [23:20] lstarnes: and it does this with EVERY program almost! I can't even get to my desktop.. [23:21] is it ATI? [23:21] xeer: you probably shouldn't be using that version of glib then [23:21] EvilMatt is it ATI? [23:21] lstarnes: well, that's why I am wanting to go back to 2.0! [23:21] Is there an msn messenger for linux in which you can chat while you are appear offline as opposed to amsn ? [23:21] ubuntuyo_: no its a geforce fx5200 [23:22] bastidrazor: and the force option is depreciated... and the recover option is default [23:22] I'm using 8.04 cause my vga is ATI. [23:22] xeer: are you using a libgio package from ubuntu's repos? [23:22] help, my address bar is gone in firefox! [23:22] mobi-sheep, well, it turns out to already be installed, but it still won't play a reg dvd (I have a Matrix DVD I'm testing with ;) ... brb more synaptic fun [23:22] EvilMatt: I have that card. the install is easy, but be warned. You don't want the titlebareffects. [23:23] EvilMatt: Are you using drivers from the community, or from Nvidia's site? === rayno_b2 is now known as rayno_b [23:23] s/re/r e/ [23:23] Rabbitbunny: whys that? [23:23] crazy2be: right-click on the toolbar at the top and check "navigation toolbar" [23:23] tenach: im using the driver that it downloaded and installed automatically [23:23] EvilMatt: It'll make the title bars go invisible. [23:23] ahh [23:23] darlek: You restarted your media player, right? [23:23] Rabbitbunny: what driver are you using for it and where did you get it? [23:24] EvilMatt I'm using 8.04 cause 9.04 dose not support compiz perfectly. I mean about ATI user. [23:24] EvilMatt: nvidia 173, from the repos [23:24] lstarnes: what bar? [23:24] there is no bar [23:24] that's the problem [23:24] just a single row of tabs [23:24] it seems there are 2 dirs to put script to run after connecting to a wireless network: /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d and /etc/network/if-up.d what is the difference, where should i put my script? [23:24] crazy2be: not even the one with the "file" and "edit" menus? [23:24] no === worm_ is now known as worm [23:24] mobi-sheep, yes.. If I could just see the / of the other harddrive, and find a listing of all the programs that were installed on the previous computer, I could then apt-get 'em [23:24] EvilMatt: look up nvidia on the website, there's a tutorial === WelshDragon is now known as YDdraigGoch [23:25] !clone | darlek [23:25] darlek: 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 [23:25] lstarnes: there never was a "File", etc bar, i hid it with personal menu [23:25] and put everything on one bar [23:25] the navigation bar [23:25] when it says "wireless-essid EeeAP" and i want to connect to a diff network can i just erase the EeeAP [23:25] it was working fine for weeks [23:25] now it's just borked [23:26] no sound in grip, how do i fix it? [23:26] mobi-sheep, unfortunately the other machine is long gone, that's why I have a new laptop ;) I have the hdd attached by usb, and can read /home files (thankfully) but not root [23:26] darlek: Ahh. :3 [23:27] mobi-sheep, close! [23:27] get a drive adapter and boot it. [23:27] is it true that if you install ubuntu hot chicks will like you? [23:27] Rabbitbunny, drive adapter? [23:27] EvilMatt: Yes. [23:27] sweet [23:27] im getting a t-shirt that states that then [23:28] :P [23:28] darlek: laptop 2.5" to desktop 3.5", on newegg. [23:28] EvilMatt: I have a bumper sticker. [23:29] darlek: I think the problem is that libdvdread4 only can read the unencrypted dvd. You running 32 or 64 bit? [23:30] darlek: Did you ran the "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh [23:30] " command afer installing libdvdread4 [23:30] I have a question that probably has a simple answer. Problem: Once I opened firefox thru terminal as SUDO and now if I try to simply open it via the icon, firefox opens as a dummied down version. I don't even have ability to click on back & forward buttons. [23:31] how do i exit gnome so i can use the console in ubuntu?? [23:31] i don't understand the directory structure [23:31] alec: Why did you open the firefox via terminal? [23:31] it wont let me install the gfx driver unless im in the console [23:31] can't it just be like freebsd's? [23:31] !tty | EvilMatt [23:31] EvilMatt: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. [23:31] mobi: Honestyl, I don't remember shy. I think I was testing something. [23:31] mobi: shy=why [23:31] EvilMatt: Remember --> CTRL + ALT + F7 for GUI. [23:32] EvilMatt: you need to turn off X, uh... there's a command for it. [23:32] EvilMatt: you will also need to kill gdm "sudo killall gdm" [23:32] ahh [23:32] ok [23:32] alec: make sure the files in ~/.mozilla are owned by you, not root [23:32] boss_mc: Thanks, checking. [23:33] mobi-sheep, nope, the dvd keeps saying 00:00 meaning zero time, so I'll try rebooting from the older harddrive and see if my bios can use usb as the boot media [23:34] mobi-sheep, i'm 32-bit on a 64-bit machine [23:34] ctmjr: sudo killall gdm -- that worked for you? o.O [23:34] mobi-sheep, i'll try the install.sh script... [23:34] darlek: Try the command and restart your player. [23:34] no sound in grip, how do i fix it? [23:35] ctmjr: On the additional note, I got my bluetooth mouse back. I don't really know why that happened. :) [23:35] boss_mc: Yes, all files/folders in ~/.moziilla are owned by me. [23:35] hello #ubuntu, how would i go about setting my system to automatically accept VNC connection requests from a certain static IP? any help? [23:35] MAC is 64-bit [23:36] alec: ALT+F2 --> firefox -safe-mode (Test it... then start Firefox again, see if that solved your issue). [23:36] alec: hmmmm, and in the sub folders etc I assume... [23:36] boss_mc... actually no. They ARE owned by root. [23:37] mobi-sheep, now it says I do not have permission to open the file. I'll reboot and be back [23:37] alec, there's your problem, google for gksudo vs sudo for why this happened (if you're interested) [23:37] boss_mc: as for a fix? chown? [23:37] !gksudo | alec [23:37] alec: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [23:37] so, anyone got a clue as to how to set up ubunutu to automatically accept VNC connection requests from my other pc at the IP of 192.168.1.101? [23:37] alec: yeah [23:38] boss_mc: I understand(gksudo) . trying chown as myusername now. [23:38] anyone run ubuntu on a macmini here ? [23:38] alec: chown -R user:user ~/.mozilla [23:39] automatic remote connection acceptance from 192.168.1.101, what should i do to set this? [23:39] for some reason [23:39] vld closes right after i open a file [23:39] its relly anoying [23:39] i dont want to use movie player to play music [23:39] boss_mc: user:user? [23:39] i like vlc [23:39] Macbook running Jaunty: won't suspend. When I try to suspend it begins the process but then goes to the login which I would expect to see upon waking up. [23:40] alec: username:username (your name) [23:40] !enter | aacosta [23:40] aacosta: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [23:40] are you using swap? [23:40] mobi-sheep: yes after i do the ctrl-alt-f1 it kills gdm, [23:40] sorry [23:40] why does the sox that comes in the ubuntu distros have the *old* ogg naming scemes/ [23:40] No one has any clue as to help me? I'm sure it's simple, I'm just a Linux newbie. [23:40] boss_mc: not permitted. [23:40] ctmjr: Ah. Interesting. Although you might want to kill it nicely -- sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop (in the TTY1) [23:40] boss_mc: boss_mc [23:40] alec: you'll have to sudo the command [23:41] dah! [23:41] vlc just closes after i open a file with it [23:41] its really werd [23:41] ctmjr: That'll just turn off the gdm service instead of killing it. :) [23:41] aacosta: run it in terminal and look for errors [23:41] mobi-sheep: will make a note thanks [23:41] rockne: under security, uncheck "you must confirm". you should also make it prompt for a password [23:42] boss_mc: That did it. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!! [23:42] Hello folks [23:42] you guys rock. [23:42] rockne: this is under remote desktop preferences [23:42] alec: good, glad to hear it! [23:42] thank you. I planned on the password bits. I just wish I could get XRDP working [23:42] is it working at skype voice chatting in ubuntu? [23:42] well? [23:42] when i open a file it says [23:42] Illegal instruction [23:42] My Acer Aspire One netbook's recording video really badly with Cheese - why might that be? I applied an xorg.conf fix.

But it doesn't for me. Fresh install. :-( [23:45] My Acer One's performing pretty slowly generally. I want to do a really safe fix that won't lose my logs or anything... is it okay to mount /tmp and /var/tmp as tmpfs? [23:46] topramen_: isn't dd-ing with /dev/random then with /dev/zero enough? [23:46] I'm not familar with any of those commands? [23:46] why dos every time i tranfer any files to another disk, it begin good but colser to end it get slower and slower... :/ [23:47] topramen_: dd is digital copy, /dev/random is a random number generator (a real one, not psuedo) [23:47] topramen_: so you write random data to the drive (a few times if you like) [23:47] topramen_: then write zeros to it to reset the drive to it's original state [23:48] boss_mc<<< can you be a bit more specific on that please as in by steps if you dont mind? [23:48] topramen_: do you want to wipe a drive or a partition?
