[01:03] hendrixski, update-manager -d [01:03] the linux mint should be the most stable os system for ati graphic card [01:03] klemen, it's not the same. 9.10 use 2.6.30 kernel [01:03] Or for an easy "Perfect" Ubuntu with flash and such, go here: http://www.category5.tv/content/view/164/77/ [01:03] tromky: why can't u leave windows fully? [01:03] j [01:03] klemen, yes...blablabla...it's not [01:03] cocacool, yep, that works for updating to the next distro from commandline [01:03] Klemen, try this guide === Paraselene__ is now known as Paraselene_ [01:03] Klemen: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [01:03] hendrixski, :) [01:04] pp7: working on some projects with windows-only software [01:04] adi there is no problem in version, problem is you canot install driwers properly, like you can in windows [01:04] Remember also, that while installing Flash, all browsers must be closed. [01:04] tromky: ah ok [01:04] Problem often is the ATI company not developing proper drivers. [01:04] klemen, did u try the free drivers? suppose no. [01:04] klemen: nonsense, read Dr_Willis's comment. [01:04] I guess that would be AMD now [01:04] WindowsUser, hi yet again sorry so CTRL+ALT+F1 brings up terminal then??

[01:05] gimp? alright thanks [01:05] klemen, it's not the same thing [01:05] ati also recently moved several cards from their fglrx drivers to the open sourced drivers. (which is to say ATI stopped supporting the cards in their fglrx drivers) they moved the cards befor the Linux community had time to develope proper drivers [01:05] levtron: but there are some web applications as well, google for sumo paint for example [01:06] klemen, do you know how to fix screen resolution problems? my xorg seems to be a little iffy [01:06] im just tryin to install ubuntu studio and i just needed to make an image file to boot from [01:06] what is wrong with flash in ubuntu [01:06] !fixres [01:06] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[01:09] so, no way to get a driver for the card? kinda lame using ubuntu without sound :P [01:09] Welshyrob, change the resolution to a lower one [01:09] ivan__: No promises, but that might work for you. I'm not familiar with that chipset, but there are plenty of Google results about people having trouble getting that chipset to work, and others saying it can work, but perhaps not right out of the box. Best of luck to you with it.

[01:26] try that, fix graphic problem, and is not HARDWARE ERROR [01:26] cmon [01:26] I want it to just connect to my wireless network [01:26] adi_, not a good call ; that is a very last resort [01:27] if I upgrade to 2.6.30, is all of my everything likely to break? [01:27] how do I use SCP from inside Ubuntu? [01:27] klemen, listen to bazhang - he knows what he's doing [01:27] JohnWittle, upgrade how [01:27] Upgrade my kernel [01:27] manually [01:27] I just mean [01:27] Soopa: would be better to have a login script that caches the password, see ubuntuforums.org [01:27] JohnWittle, yes, I know; upgrade how [01:27] seaphor, i listened people in linux mint chat and now im here [01:27] bazhang: manually === hand|afk is now known as hand [01:27] bazhang, it could be aa idea [01:27] JohnWittle, breakage ahead [01:28] okay Jeruvy, thanks [01:28] bazhang: what will break? X? [01:28] the linux mint was litle more stable but still there was rebooting without my comand [01:28] adi thank you [01:28] i wiill try [01:28] bazhang: what if I use KernelCheck? [01:28] klemen, np [01:28] klemen, well it is clearly not a driver issue; repeat every 20-30 minutes or so if you wish; though you should seriously ask in ##hardware [01:29] bazhang why would be a hardware, i yust install linux, before i had windows and there were 2 year no error [01:29] there is no logic here [01:29] bazhang, it's probably because works on wrong frequency [01:29] JohnWittle, upgrading your own unpatched kernel is unsupported; if you know what you are doing, it is your choice. [01:30] klemen, don't repeat. [01:30] what did i repeat*? [01:30] klemen, every 30 minutes or so. [01:30] I have a system that dual boots Gentoo and Vista. It has unpartitioned space left on it. If I install Ubuntu will it notice that I have grub as my bootloader and just add itself to the list? [01:30] bazhang: I know very little about it and wanted to know what sort of things would break. If all of my applications' dependencies are still in place, none of my programs would be likely to break, correct? [01:30] anyone know a md5 summer for windows that outputs the correct syntax for md5sum in ubuntu? [01:31] JohnWittle, any special reason to upgrade kernel [01:31] bazhang what are you trying to teal me? [01:31] dre: same name, md5sum [01:31] bazhang: Yes, i think. [01:31] klemen: one example, if the os doesn't tell the cpu to idle, it gets hotter [01:31] i used md5summer.org and md5sum in ubuntu keeps saying no such file or directory [01:31] what is the cron syntax to represent on the half hour, say I wanted a job to run at 8:30 pm, [01:31] klemen, don't repeat every couple of minutes. every 30 minutes or so is OK. [01:31] !info md5sum [01:31] Package md5sum does not exist in jaunty [01:31] !md5 [01:31] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [01:31] oh right.. [01:32] thx bazhang [01:32] klemen: there isn't nothing logical about why a computer stops working right [01:32] he won't do anything suggested to him (that's his choice I suppose) and the result of that is no new information is ever available [01:32] they can become unstable overnight from a hardware issue without any warning [01:32] thanks [01:32] it is up to you or your computer tech to diagnose why to brign your computer back to stable [01:32] so he's refusing to be supported [01:32] The Knutter Valve got stuck on the Flibberdy De Jibbit! [01:33] listen to Dr_Willis..... [01:33] klemen, not a fix but possibly a direction finder, before a "pc-generated reboot" open a terminal and run the following command, then look at the file it generates after the reboot... tail -f /var/log/messages | tee vlm.txt [01:33] fadumt yes there was a miracle over night... [01:33] fadumpt: or as i told a female boss at work.. "This is a real high tech problem.... its broke..." [01:33] seaphor [01:33] :) [01:33] what, jesus compiled your kernel? [01:33] !repeat | klemen [01:33] klemen: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [01:34] seaphor what can be writen in file after reboot? [01:34] does ubuntu have apt-file? [01:34] anyone want to give me some advice on backing up my 8.10 comp before doing a clean install of 9.04? [01:34] !info apt-file [01:34] apt-file (source: apt-file): search for files within Debian packages (command-line interface). In component universe, is optional. Version 2.2.0 (jaunty), package size 25 kB, installed size 172 kB [01:35] nsadmin: yes - yes it does. :) [01:35] klemen it's what's written before the reboot that might help yoyu [01:35] klemen, it will log a file up-to the point of reboot/shutdown [01:35] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem jerknextdoor [01:35] Has anyone put ubuntu on a thumb drive and installed it that way? I'm looking at a new dell, and if I can avoid the dvd drive, I will. [01:35] Dr_Willis: hmm, cool... did you catch my /usr/local question? happen to know the answer? [01:35] I'd ask Dell, but I'm sure I'll get someone who has no clue... [01:36] nsadmin: dident notice.

[01:36] craigbass1976: theres severall ways you can 'install' to a thumbdrive.. one easy way is to use windows and unetbootin. Or follow the docs at pendrivelinux.org and get a Ubuntu Live-install with a persistant save file. [01:37] Dr_Willis are official ubuntu packages ever permitted to touch /usr/local? [01:37] Dr_Willis, this is only in the event that I need to reinstall the os. It will come with ubuntu right from Dell. [01:37] nsadmin: permited? Hmm.. ive never seen one touch /usr/local === jforte is now known as Jena [01:37] as a basis for comparison, debian packages are not [01:38] craigbass1976: dell may have some restore cd. in theory you could use unetbootin and put that on a flashdrive [01:38] im trying to upgrade my dist and i keep getting errors [01:38] WARNING: Failed to read mirror file [01:38] i have a netbook running the netbook remix.. its got problems so i was going to reinstall... i am attempting to save the data by booting from a UNR flash drive and copy the data to another flash drive.. it fails to copy because it says i don't have access to the files i am trying to copy... how do i copy these files [01:39] I just did a network upgrade to install Jaunty and now Ubuntu won't boot at all. The boot sequence ends with "Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!" My kernel is version 2.6.28-13 generic if that helps at all.

[01:40] Whileyou by using the network I suppose [01:40] what is the cron syntax to represent on the half hour, say I wanted a job to run at 8:30 pm, [01:40] Dr_Willis, they are because i'm browsing them [01:40] Babbleback: when you access them - THEN they get mounted. to /media/ i imagine.. not /mnt/ [01:40] Hey, I used to have this really great torrent software, it was almost exactly like uTorrent....

[01:55] adi_, no. Do NOT suggest it to new users, and it is completely unnecessary. [01:55] Packaging question. I have a package I created (deb), and all the files listed in the contents get installed, except /etc/init.d/npreals. Oddly enough, /etc/init.d/npreals is in the file conffiles in the package config, but there is no existing npreals file, and dpkg-buildpackage automatically adds npreals to the conffiles file, even though I don't want it to. [01:56] bazhang, ok [01:56] alan205, you just said 'debian live' [01:56] @MrShell: Ask the question and ye shall receive the answer if one knows it. [01:56] Can someone PM assist me, its probably really simple [01:56] hi everyone! i never chat before [01:56] !ask MrShell [01:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask MrShell [01:57] !ask | MrShell [01:57] MrShell: 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. :-) [01:57] ompeompe, offtopic chat in #ubuntu-offtopic ; here is support only. [01:57] Dr_Willis, well I guess i should at least thank you for pointing me to the correct mount location [01:57] ok, I dunno what is goin on, but I updated ubuntu (not a dist upgrade) and I have no sound now [01:57] I need help guys [01:57] Ok, how do i run a .iso file in Ubuntu, i want to launch an xp install, but it want to extract the .iso? [01:57] i love ubuntu ha ha ha [01:58] I am running 8.10 as a live user becuz for some reason it hangs during install [01:58] I am running jaunty, and alsa isn't giving me any errors, it looks like it's playing, it's not muted according to pulseaudio... [01:58] MrShell: you can't launch an xp install from an iso like that, you need to burn a cd [01:58] Babbleback: yep. Ubuntu Basics [01:58] bashang: yes debiam ;ive I thought it was just like a live cd. I went onto #debian and specifically asked if this would hurt my ubuntu install. I was told it would not. SO now I cant update my ubuntu version [01:58] jordan, did you md5 the iso before burning? burn at very low speed, and then do the disk integrity check? [01:58] i am downloading 9.04 as an iso and i need a way to burn/be able to use it [01:58] rabidweezle, alsamixer -c 0 [01:59] jordan [01:59] the issue is i have the 8.10 disk in my cd drive [01:59] k [01:59] jordan [01:59] what os are you using now [01:59] @MrShell: You have to mount it. GmountISO is an easy GUI for it. However, if you want to install XP as a dual-boot you'll need to burn a CD with ie Brasero or K3b [01:59] Hey guys, I finally figured out that I just needed a manual installation of the newer version of Pitivi video editor.Now I got my ubuntu tutorial ready to render for YouTube hosting. Anyone know about what format and screen dimensions I need etc. I heard 10min or less and less than 1GB in size.My source is 800x600. [01:59] Dr_Willis, do you know how to execute commands as root using the GUI? [01:59] MP4 work for youtube upload? [01:59] wrong -c argument 'o' [01:59] i have no os really vista crashed on me and wont reinstall- i tried installing ubuntu 8.10 from a disk i have and it wont work [01:59] th0r ottiffansir - I'm doing it off a USB Drive, my CD drive seems to have failed, not being recognised [01:59] i am trying using ubuntu. it's confusing me [01:59] rabidweezle, 0 zero not o [02:00] I meant 0 :D [02:00] it hangs when creating the partitions [02:00] jordan, please answer my questions above [02:00] MrShell: then you have to set up the computer to boot off the usb drive, but I don't think you can just copy the iso to the usb drive and get it to work [02:00] rabidweezle, so your alsa is mixed one :-p [02:00] How do i get the taskbar buttons bigger? [02:01] no i did not baz the disk is still downloading [02:01] I am totally new to this, its running an a very old (AMD Duron) machine and when i try and install or run an exe file it fails [02:01] mixed one? [02:01] MrShell, Linux does not run .exe files at all without wine. [02:01] bazhang: did you see my last message? [02:01] root@klemen-desktop:~# --->what does that mean? [02:01] @MrShell: You need to find a program that creates a USB-boot drive for Windows. I don't remember any of them anymore. Haven't used Windows actively for several years [02:01] and i cant open the disk drive to burn the 9.04 because the live CD is in use [02:01] I tried like sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart and still nothin [02:01] I just hooked up my desktop monitor and stuff so I can use my laptop like it's a desktop computer, I have the display set to turn off the laptop monitor and use the external one. My question is, when I reboot the computer without the external monitor hooked up, will everything go back to normal? [02:01] alan205, you believe that installing debian hurt your ubuntu install? [02:02] So Ubuntu can't run an .iso file from a click? Windows can <_< [02:02] yes that may be correct [02:02] MrShell, i don't know but give a try to this dd if=image.iso of=/dev/sdb -b1024 at sdb just put the usb u have on your system [02:02] Mrsheell try to download nero for linux [02:02] MrShell: Windows cannot do that without third party software. ;) [02:02] MrShell, after try to boot from usb key [02:02] than go to youtube for fruther information:how to burn iso file [02:02] rabidweezle, did you install alsa? [02:03] not manually [02:03] adi_: that will work only long enough to format the hard drive and lose everything [02:03] it was installed when I installed the OS [02:03] MrShell, no windows can NOT do that. [02:03] @MrShell: Windows can't do jack with iso-files without drivers. Not even extract them. Ubuntu can [02:03] rabidweezle, sao alsamixer -c 0 will work [02:03] th0r, i know. i said tu change the sdb with the device usb [02:03] rabidweezle, so* [02:03] don't know what device he have [02:04] what do i do guys? [02:04] jordan, what happens when you try to install from the live cd? [02:04] still tells me wrong argument [02:04] :( [02:04] adi_: but the iso is on the usb drive [02:04] alsamixer -c 0 [02:04] th0r, augh :| [02:04] seaphor the installer hangs when it gets to the part where it says creating ext3 filesystem blah blah [02:05] MrShell, try k3b to burn the iso on cd [02:05] @adi: He has no CD-drive that's recognized [02:05] adi_: he can't do that cause he is on a live cd [02:05] MrShell, or brasero, it's installed by default [02:05] rabidweezle, alsamixer -c 1 or 2 or 3 [02:05] adi_: right....no cd [02:05] jordan, "hangs"... how so- no error message? [02:05] ahm...:| [02:05] no error message- it just stops at 5% [02:06] Wo Wo, slow down! I don't want a Windows Vs. Linux fight (your all Linux fanboys anyways lol). Ok, i can't download and run .exe files so where do i get a program on Ubuntu that can run my .iso file. I can NOT use a CD my CD drive is dead. I need to run the .iso of the USB like you would on WIndows by a mouse click [02:06] jordan, no black screen? [02:06] no [02:06] MrShell: mount [02:06] MrShell: you could mount the iso and even run an exe off it with wine, but the iso is the xp install, right? soon as you start it you will lose everything [02:06] MrShell, you should use Windows [02:06] ahahahahahahah [02:06] jordan, have you tried the alternate cd/iso download? [02:06] hey today i had an interview, and they asked have you done any database optimization....what the hell does this indicate ? [02:06] @MrShell: Try this link: http://www.vandomburg.net/installing-windows-xp-from-usb/ [02:07] whatvn, :))) [02:07] no i have not- what would that do? [02:07] yaris123456789, that is offtopic here [02:07] adi_, :-p [02:07] Ok, i like the Wine idea. Where do i get it? [02:07] !wine [02:07] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [02:08] jordan, what settings were you choosing during the partitioner settings? [02:08] MrShell: here is an idea....copy the iso to the hard drive and then use the dd to copy it back to the usb drive, that might work [02:08] the guided use full disk besides manual that was the only option [02:08] @MrShell: If you want the latest, get the PPA information from winehq.org [02:09] jordan, so you chose the guided use full disk? [02:09] yes [02:09] I edited /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and added the line "blacklist r8169". However, when I reboot, and do a lsmod, I still see the r8169 module loaded... [02:10] It worked when I blacklisted snd_hda_intel, but when I try to blacklist r8169, nothing happens. [02:10] jordan, were you wanting a dual-boot? is this a laptop or a desktop? how new/old? [02:10] desktop-4 years old no dual boot [02:10] can anyone help me configure a wireless brother 2170w printer -- it works with a wire but not in wireless mode [02:10] jordan, ok,,,,,, [02:11] hello [02:11] hmmm seaphor- could i do a frugal install of http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [02:11] using my 9.04 downloaded iso? [02:11] @flanders: First off, have you spelled it correctly? [02:11] jordan, boot the live cd and instead of "install" choose the disk and memory checker? [02:12] !ff3.5 [02:12] Firefox 3.5 Final is currently being built and tested for Jaunty. If you *need* to install it, the firefox-3.5 *beta* package from the repositories will be updated when testing is complete. See also http://is.gd/1jkNY [02:12] would my idea work? [02:12] hmmm [02:12] OttifantSir: Yes, I checked the spelling. It is exactly: r8169 [02:12] brother 2170w printer.... [02:12] jordan, you should be able to, the live session has a USB Live - creator [02:12] OttifantSir: The line I added is exactly: blacklist r8169 [02:13] i dont have a usb drive [02:13] hence my need to boot from hd [02:13] what codec do i need to download to be able to play avi?? [02:13] anyone? [02:13] jordan: unetbootin can do some sort of frugal/live install to a hard drive.. [02:13] that should work then yes? [02:13] @wolfgang: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:13] my vlc player is messed up too [02:13] wolfgang: avi is not a codec - its a container.. it could be any of a dozen+++ codecs [02:14] jordan: deoenbds on your needs.. it will emulate a live cd - as far as i know.. that may not be what you want [02:14] if you have a USB jordan [02:14] oh would ubuntu restricted extras also work on xubuntu? and on powerpc?

I'm stuck on 7.04 without possibility of re-install using a newer live cd. I'm trying to follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades#7.04%20to%207.10 but it says I should be generating a few files when I run do-release-update, and I'm not. any ideas. [02:16] When trying to blacklist the r8169 module, am I supposed to use another alias? I'm not sure how blacklisting works. When I blacklisted snd_hda_intel, it worked fine, without anything additional being done. However, it doesn't seem to be the case with r8169.

[02:19] hi guys, how do i use the 'time' command to display it as verbose? something as simple as 'time -v ls' doesn't work === cesar_ is now known as Guest32890 [02:19] * __d3f0__ is away: Ausente por ahora [02:20] Alright i got wine-1.0.1.tar.bz2, now what do i do with it? [02:20] jan247: time --verbose, or man time [02:21] MrShell: you are trying to run the xp install iso right? [02:21] No, install Wine to run the .iso [02:22] wine to run an iso? Hmmm/ [02:22] @MrShell: Wine won't run the iso [02:22] MrShell: and what is the iso? [02:22] Dr_Willis: I have been trying to tell him that [02:22] Is it possible to install an OS on another partition while inside Ubuntu? [02:22] Seven-7: depends on the OS. :) i can do that with some linux disrtos easially enough. [02:22] Seven-7: depends on which OS [02:23] Is there anyone else I can ask about upgrading EOL versions? I've followed the one link on Ubuntu' [02:23] I'm on Ubuntu 9.04 thinking about giving Slackware a try or just another Ubuntu. [02:23] s site and it sucks. [02:23] Ok. What can i run an .iso with in ubuntu, i thought Wine simulates Windows and can run and install it and done? [02:23] If no one here can help me, where can I go? [02:23] MrShell: what is inside the iso you are trying to use? [02:24] Seven-7: virtualbox is worth looking into for testing other disrtos [02:24] MrShell, remember .iso is just a disk image [02:24] foad_, why can you not use the live/alternate cd installer? [02:24] @th0r: It's XP install iso [02:24] MrShell: you could mount the .iso and use wine to run apps ON the iso... [02:24] Because I've already got a working system installed and don't want to have to reinstall. [02:24] Seven-7: if you have a processor that supports virtualization and you have enough RAM, you can run both Ubuntu and another OS at the same time [02:24] But wine is NOT going to 'insttall windows' [02:24] !kvm | Seven-7 [02:24] Seven-7: kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [02:24] Oh. Just remembered. Now the question is how to i mount and run the .iso to install Xp? [02:24] OttifantSir: right...and as soon as he starts the install, he will lose linux including the usb drive and won [02:24] 't be able to complete the install [02:24] I had a raid 6 array setup, I rebooted and all the drives were out of the raid array. Anyone have advice on how to troubleshoot? Should I just add the drives back into the array? [02:25] foad_, so no technical reasons? just want to hang onto to the Feisty install? [02:25] using mdadm [02:25] MrShell, use VmWare [02:25] I know what KVM is. [02:25] bazhang: What does it matter? Clearly I'm looking to do what I asked, why are you trying to persude me? [02:25] I am NOT trying to get to OS's i am trying to get an OS change! [02:25] I want to /install/ an /os/ onto a /partition/ without having to /restart or whatever/. [02:26] foad_, just trying to understand so I can help. [02:26] MrShell, you want to burn the ISO into a CD so that you can boot from it? [02:26] @MrShell: We know. Have you tried the link I sent you earlier? http://www.vandomburg.net/installing-windows-xp-from-usb/ [02:27] Ottifansir - Reading it now [02:27] foad_, waht's EOL? [02:27] bazhang: I have a 7.04 install. I need to go to 7.10->8.04->Jaunty. My repos are busted because the plug was pulled on them. I've tried following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades#7.04%20to%207.10 three times. I can't download *any* of the files. I have access to nothing.

[02:28] @MrShell: If that's not enough, then just google "install windows from usb" and you will have lots of info [02:28] I reboot after adding "blacklist r8169" once again to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, and still the module is loaded (lsmod still shows it.) [02:28] When I create a new user should it be a Desktop user or an Administrator? === |Zippo|__ is now known as |Zippo| [02:28] so 'end of life' is a buzzword for what? [02:28] So no answer? [02:28] If I create a user that is an Administrator does that mean it is the same as root? [02:29] IE It's a clone of root? [02:29] no [02:29] just something to chat on [02:29] el_loco, nothing. It means the version is no longer supported [02:29] Next time say "I dont know" instead of giving me the wrong answer. God damn I hate Ubuntu support. === tyler is now known as Guest92843 [02:29] hooo... i see [02:29] mr. 7 not everyone can be right all the time [02:29] cut them some slack they are trying to do thier best [02:29] @haae234: Administrator is (almost) equal to root, but not quite. root will always be there, an admin can be deleted [02:30] i thought root was admin [02:30] Shadowgirl: he clearly didn't want help otherwise he would have stuck around [02:30] Is the default user you create in the setup an administrator? [02:30] or Desktop user? [02:30] i guess so [02:30] Default user in setup is a Desktop user [02:30] It can attain root-privileges [02:30] hi im trying to install ubuntu restricted plugins and i get this message when i do [02:31] This application conflicts with other installed software. To install 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' the conflicting software must be removed first. Switch to the 'synaptic' package manager to resolve this conflict. [02:31] haae234: An administrator can do administrative things (install software, updates, modify stuff, etc). A desktop user merely uses the desktop. the user created during install is administrator [02:31] anyone got any answers [02:31] hi all [02:31] stgmtl, did you add any 3rd party repos? [02:31] stgmtl: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [02:31] 9.04 [02:32] @stgmtl: Open Synaptic and see what it says when you try to install the restricteds. [02:32] i noticed that in any of the buntu variants you cant set a root password at in stall [02:32] but u can on commandline [02:32] why was that implemented? its kinda a secerity risk seeing how people use familier things as paswords [02:32] So I should create a new user who is an Administrator? [02:32] Shadowgirl: Because Ubuntu doesn't use the root account, so there's no reason to have it have a password. [02:32] haae234, you have one, using sudo [02:33] @haae234: No need. When you need to install something, you type the password you set for yourself at install [02:33] touche flannel [02:33] in stalled OS using software raid (for /home) first boot failed because fsck couldn't resolve UUID=...(UUID for md0) [02:33] So if the user isn't an administrator, they have to know the user's password set when first installing? [02:33] If they want to update the system for example? [02:34] haae234: No, if a user isn't an administrator, they can't do those sorts of things by default. [02:34] does that intern make it a more hardined system to not use the root account [02:34] OttifantSir: doesnt say anything i get that message about the synaptic message when i add it from the add/remove apps option in the apps menu [02:34] haae234, you need to have sudo access to update/install things with apt-get [02:34] But I thought when you used sudo, you are using the root?, no? [02:34] What happens if I type sudo with a desktop user? [02:34] hello everyone [02:34] hello etzerd [02:34] rather than an administrator? === |Jason8|| is now known as |Jason8| [02:34] what's new tonight? [02:34] haae234: You get an error message [02:34] @stgmtl: Open Synaptic, search for ubuntu-restricted-extras, try to install it and see which packages will be removed when you do [02:35] lwells: sudo is a 'system' that lets users do some 'root privilage' actions. or it can let users run things as other users. [02:35] haae234, is the same thing in ubuntu [02:35] el_loco: what's up? === Guest92843 is now known as ubuntu39 [02:35] lwells: thers mor to 'sudo' then 'doing things as root' [02:35] can anyone steer me straight on mounting a netwrok drive.... [02:35] etzerd, nothing.. just hanging [02:35] But sudo uses the same pass as the user login for me at least [02:35] Moby_: samba or nfs? [02:35] lwells: sudo uses the USERS password - correct. [02:36] Has anyone had any experience with getting NVIDIA SLI 9800 GTs working with X? [02:36] Dr_Willis, yes.. same pwd keept in the shadow file [02:36] Dr_Willis: but should there be a seperate pass for the root? [02:36] jonathancw: would be interesting to try heheh [02:36] but no [02:36] I havent [02:37] lwells: No, the root account has no valid password, it's locked. [02:37] not in ubuntu... not necesarly [02:37] @OttifantSir it says libavcodecs52 and libavuntil49 will be removed [02:37] is there a support channel for mplayer? [02:37] Dr_Willis: so there are things I cannot do in root? [02:37] ubuntu39, yes [02:37] el_loco: What? No. The root entry doesn't have a password at all. [02:37] Tenkawa this is my lscpi http://pastebin.com/d3c958b [02:37] el_loco: #mplayer doesnt exist [02:37] ok... i was not 100% sure [02:37] all you have to do haae234 is type in your password [02:37] for it to work [02:37] sudo only gives temporary adminstative privleges [02:37] not full root [02:38] Shadowgirl: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:38] oh one other thing haae234 on my system when you type it in it wont show up at all. that is completely normal it does that to protect your password [02:38] @stgmtl: If that's all, there should be no problem. Start worrying when things other than libraries start getting removed [02:38] dont panic ok? === FlareFlare is now known as Flare183 [02:38] Hello, when I install tvtime with "sudo aptitude install tvtime" the directory it makes at ~/.tvtime is owned by root and so tvtime cant save it's config after you start it and scan channels and whatnot. [02:38] Shadowgirl: if you want root rights for a long time in a terminal sudo -i [02:38] this is a bug, right? where should i report it [02:38] Hey, how can I test which resolutions (and refresh rates) my monitor supports? [02:39] ubuntu39, http://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php?title=MPlayer_FAQ [02:39] Good Ubuntu articles explaining root? [02:39] bp0: you can change the owner with chown [02:39] bp0: When you install it, it shouldn't create anything in your home folder. Did you run it with sudo afterwards?

[02:39] one thing i want to know is why everytime i attempt to make a tutorial using istambul that it is incredibly slow and my video editors wont work on it [02:39] Adam seriously? I've been there done that. Got the tshirt. [02:40] I installed using the alternate CD and set up RAID, but after installation it doesn't seem to recognize it... [02:40] el_loco: this is freenode right....#mplayer is not there [02:40] Is anyone here familiar with the FrostWire source code? [02:40] oh im an idiot [02:41] bp0: Odd. It really shouldn't do that.

Just start the computer with the CD in, and start installing. When you get to partitioning, choose the partition you want to install it on and you're good to go. [02:41] isnt frostwire illegal? i think it has something to do with lime wiere right [02:41] ubuntu39, im in '#mplayer' now [02:41] wire i mean [02:41] adam7: There's not. :( [02:42] Shadowgirl: yep it's the opensource alternative [02:42] Shadowgirl: its not illegal mind you, just another p2p tool. [02:42] Justin10ec: well, there must be a way people communicating about the project communicate -- try and find it [02:42] @OttifantSir ok when i do that there will be know way to carry over the things i did in my wubi ubuntu to the standard ubuntu [02:42] Shadowgirl: better than Limewire also [02:43] HI All. The mxser driver is broken in the current 9.04 kernel and tried to backport the current kernel version but uncovered a bit of problems with dependencies from a restructure of the driver recently. Is there a repositoy with more recent Linux kernels for 9.04? [02:43] Frostwire, Limewire, eDonkey, KaZaa, Gnutella, Bittorrent and all other P2P protocols aren't really illegal in and of itself, but is "made" illegal by the content the users put on them [02:43] i think i'm going to rip my hair out with istambul. the 10 video i made with it runs incredibly slow and cant be fixed because all the video editors i've tried wornt work. [02:44] they reject it and say unsupported format when its ogg thera [02:44] OttifantSir, the protocols can never be illegal, what's illegal is the act of sharing files that by sharing break the law [02:45] @stgmtl: The best way I can think of is to back up your entire /home-folder, and when you've installed what you want to carry over from the Wubi to the standard, and before you start any of the programs, copy the config-directories over from the backup. [02:45] >_< [02:45] anyone know how to fix this problem? [02:45] i want to measure the memory FF is consuming. i see multiple entries in htop. what column is the memory? RES/SHR/MEM% ?

[02:45] how do i ensure that i have all the newest packages installed? i thought it was apt-get upgrade, however ive heard that if u manually installed older versions that an apt-get upgrade would not update those [02:45] is that true?

How to obtain that adress, I don't remember. [03:00] Grub [03:01] I had gOS installed and it did an update and all I got for boot was a memory checker. I tried installing Kubuntu in the same place to overide gOS and now I get error 14. [03:01] When I boot the PC [03:01] cmon now, you just confused me :) don't change your nic so often :) [03:02] OttifantSir: you have the best nick I've seen in ages :D [03:02] My apology.

I googled it and found a solution but i cant find SESSIONS in my preferences -_- [03:07] i have ubuntu 9.04 desktop [03:07] Is LVM sort of like software raid or something? [03:07] Jeruvy: did you even read the question? [03:07] startup applications = sessions [03:07] linuxguy2009: It abstracts away your physical disks [03:08] no lvm is a system where you can define and resize "logical volumes" [03:08] Flannel: didn't mean "no" to you [03:08] Flannel: That terminalogy went over my head.hehe [03:08] blu3_b4ll5, okay well... where is gnome panel there? [03:08] @linuxguy2009: No, LVM is something else. It's making several disks act as one. Or you can spread the information of several Logical Volumes over several Physical Volumes. [03:09] Flannel: Ok I see [03:09] I personally don't like lvm over multiple disks [03:09] linuxguy2009: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-lvm/ Explains it (with pictures!)

Am able to connect when I turn off encryption. using a WG311v3 via ndiswrapper, but I believe the problem is that Network Connections GUI menu doesn't offer a 64bit WEP option. Is there a work around or an alternative that I can use? [03:16] opop: sorry I have a phone call, try asking others.

You need a flash player installed to watch flash videos. There are 2 options. There is an open source flash player (IDK what the package is called.) And there is the closed source (but still available in the repos) Adobe flash player. Open synaptic and search "flash" lets see which you have.

You can try copying as a super user. It might be a permission issue [03:37] duckwars: in the terminal type sudo nautilus and try copying that way [03:38] well, I wanna see the rate of the copying, so I don't wanna do it through terminal [03:38] duckwars: Using a gui you can just click + drag yes? [03:38] i tried, but that don't work [03:38] i think i will try sudo nautilus [03:38] duckwars: Or highlight files, ctrl + c go to the directory you want them in. ctrl + v [03:38] @MrKeuner: That would be the case it seems [03:39] i've had the strangest problem. i attempted to install a program called flock (web browser spinn off of firefox) and i dont know how to make a lancher for it [03:39] how do i fix this problem [03:40] Shadowgirl: Can you run the program from the terminal?? [03:40] Can someone tell me how I can get the desktop cube in Gnome to rotate? [03:40] how do i do that? [03:40] shadowgirl: right click on desktop and click on create launcher [03:40] the ctrl + c and the ctrl + v didn't work [03:40] and sudo nautilus doens't work for some reason [03:40] duckwars: what about sudo nautilus? [03:40] Shadowgirl: Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal :) [03:41] itz open but what do i need to type [03:41] sudo nautilus doesn't seem to work... [03:41] Shadowgirl: flock (or whatever it's called) [03:41] OttifantSir, do you think I can just download its source from deb-source link and compile it [03:41] How safe is it to delete the default user of an installation? [03:42] duckwars: stop wasting your time & use the cli.... [03:42] duckwars: You're not gonna like this. You have to set up a special key-binding such as ctrl + button 1 (left click) = right click. Here is a tutorial: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=193864 [03:42] @MrKeuner: But gnumeric is the latest release available from gnumeric's site, so there really is no need to compile anything [03:42] Shadowgirl: Did your program launch???

[03:43] OttifantSir, although it is not stable [03:43] i dont know how to launch things on the command line [03:43] i feel dumb [03:43] >_< [03:43] just type its name [03:43] I've so been there [03:43] lol [03:43] Shadowgirl: Your not dumb :). To launch a program from the terminal you simply type the name of that program :) === sancas_ is now known as sancas [03:44] philtar: I think it's safe. It's just an ordinary user created at install time. As Flannel says, make sure you have a way to create new users though [03:44] Shadowgirl@localbox:~$ firefox [03:44] Shadowgirl, is this gnome?

[03:46] OttifantSir, that requires a lot of dependencies to be compiled. I was loking for an easier job [03:46] G0di-:it's a conspiracy [03:46] OttifantSir, i thought if i used apt-source gnumeric things might be easier??

Try typing man flock [03:47] OttifantSir, they don;t have it either [03:47] Shadowgirl: Ok. The command line is telling you that you are starting flock incorrectly. Some programs will only run if some arguments are passed to them. [03:47] FLJohn: because the thing providing the firewall is a different box [03:47] the resolution seemed to be I had to run it in nautilus [03:47] thanks guys [03:47] still no right-click though [03:47] OttifantSir, i don;t care much for bleeding edge except gnumeric 1.9 series are having some features I need badly [03:48] Shadowgirl: See my personal message??

My sister went to a news website and now I have trojans and viruses. I was wondering if there is a program in Linux I can use to clean the partition. [03:49] vlc?

[03:50] no zortec it doesnt work that way [03:50] Owner, you can use netstat application [03:50] zortec: clamav is scanning your linux install for viruses.

Other channels might have people better suited to help... I can say NAT brings a few inherent protections, and also whatever your router is probably has some safeish defaults. you might try googling to see if you can put a linux firmware on your router, then you can maybe use a program or read man to write your custom firewall file.

[03:55] Shadowgirl: Yes the update button just gives a message that a new version is available without any download link. [03:55] zortec: If I say honestly what i think of Windows I will probably get banned. hehe [03:55] firefox 3.5 sucks! [03:55] zortec: i hate that [03:55] linuxguy2009: You are a linux guy. I wouldn't expect you to be a pro supporter of Windows. :P [03:55] lol [03:56] could someone help walk me through the alternate cd install with raid/lvm support... apparently I'm an idiot as I've failed this 6 times now [03:56] i support both. what is the problem? [03:56] kyppcgeek, please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [03:57] I have scanned 7082 files and it is 8% complete... honestly I don't know if this is going to find the trojans and malware in the Windows directory or not... it doesn't seem likely. [03:57] It has not found anything so far. [03:57] is cpu temp 34-35 c good? [03:57] lol no [03:57] zortech: it does that to me too now i think about it [03:57] brb getting food [03:57] cpu temp should be 99c [03:57] I have a 30G SSD for OS, easy enough. I then have 2 1TB drives that I wish to set up as 8mb from each RAID 0 as swap, rest of each RAID 0 put in LVM to use as home... why won't this work? [03:57] thedarkone: I wouldn't worry about cpu temp until you reach the high 50s [03:58] kyppcgeek, please stop [03:58] thedarkone: less than 50 is cool it can be higher [03:58] lol sorry. couldnt resist [03:58] my last cpu was running at 12c [03:59] hi there, i'm constantly getting the error in /var/log/messages "segfault at 0 ip b79083d7 sp bfc47954 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.2000.1[b78ab000+b6000]"... any idea? [03:59] a quick comparason: debian vs ubuntu which is better? [03:59] Does anyone know for sure if clam detects trojans?

[04:41] Wiggly -> i'd keep testing your memory first, perhaps its just a quirk, let your system cool down for a few maybe, and try again [04:41] cyrano_de they are on two different disks (2 sets of 2 partitions, the sets match in size and location on the disks) [04:41] JoeM: if the partitions were not created as part of a Raid group and/or an LVM physical volume I do not beleive they can be converted after the fact. [04:41] @Hylian: Try using VLC. [04:42] n8tuser - Will do. Thanks for the help and advice. Have a good one. [04:42] Wiggly -> if a memory card issue, perhaps you can swap with another? [04:42] n8tuser, possibly, guess thats something I can check as well thanks [04:43] vlc can be used -gstreamer? because i am using the xine stuff cause it actually works...?? [04:43] n8tuser - Thats what I'm thinking. [04:43] JoeM: You need to set the partition type to RAID in fdisk or whichever tool you used to create the partitions. [04:43] JoeM: that is a pretty lengthly discussion.. and I really dont now how to answer that [04:43] cyrano_de they're unused so I can delete them or do whatever is needed to them [04:43] @Hylian: VLC ships with built-in codecs [04:43] ok thanx dude [04:43] cyrano_de ok, so fdisk them and set them all as type raid, easy enough [04:43] JoeM: is this a fake raid? aka BIOS softRAID? [04:43] JoeM: Set them as physical volume for RAID. [04:44] wiggmpk: No, I tried that at first and it was a complete failure, I was told software raid (mdadm) was better as I don't dual boot [04:44] alooo [04:44] where can I locate an option to utilize single click on mouse to open app?

I want to make a script with 3 commands and I want them to execute in order, but I want to run the whole script in the background. How could I make that? [04:45] Arthur__: Not necessarily, but you might be interested to see what service is behind that port and what it is doing [04:46] OttiFantSir; tnx much will look there [04:46] Arthur__, it doesnt mean you are hacked, ports are open because something is leaving them open [04:46] Arthur__: ShieldsUP is your friend. [04:46] how do i tell what service is on that port [04:46] or why the port is open... [04:46] Arthur__, usualy a program will use a certain port [04:46] keyboard stopped working macbook ubuntu 9 [04:46] google the port number [04:46] dbugger: they have to be ran in the terminal I believe no matter what. I could be wrong. [04:47] JoeM: Once you have both drives partitioned identically as physical volumes, use the mdadmin tool mdadm --create md-device --level1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/partitiondrive1 /dev/partitiondrive2 [04:47] i understand a program uses a port, i want to know what is using it? [04:47] Arthur__: You can have ShieldsUP do a scan on your computer and tell you about the ports. [04:47] JoeM: you want to split EACH disk into 2 partitions? [04:47] Arthur__: netstat -taupn [04:47] cyrano_de ok, just trying to find the RAID partition type now [04:47] wiggmpk yes [04:47] is there a way to watch TV on Ubuntu that is just plug and play? I have tried Freevo and Mythbuntu, but all the configuration is overwhelming [04:47] linuxguy2009, that's ok. i want to summon the script from PHP [04:47] Google ShieldsUP and you will get to the page. [04:47] JoeM: That will create one raid 1 volume with the your first two partitions on each disk [04:47] dbugger: There are lots of stuff on google for bash scripting as well as on youtube. [04:47] dbugger: what kind of commands. are they for a statup script or something you run when you need it ? [04:48] They are encoding commands with ffmpeg. Therefore, i want them to execute in order [04:48] JoeM: let me understand this.. you want EACH physical disk.. to contain 2 partitions.. then you want to setup a softRAID0 setup (which FYI is a strip) making your physical drives act as 1.. am I missing something here? [04:48] Arthur__: netstat -an |grep LISTEN |less [04:48] how do I modify grub boot parameters [04:48] dbugger: Who is "they"? [04:48] dbugger: Whatever order you put them in the script , that is the order they will execute. [04:48] I've tried many combinations with "&" "&&" and "> /dev/null", but I cant seem to hit the right one... [04:49] they... the commands :D [04:49] firefox just keeps getting worse and worse on linux :( [04:49] JoeM: type fd is the "auto raid" type in fdisk if you are doing this from the command line. [04:49] Arthur__: what port was open??? [04:49] dft: You can use startup-manager or make changes to the config file. [04:49] wiggmpk split both into 2 partitions, strip parition 1 of disk 1 with partition 1 of disk 2 [04:49] hhvjhvn [04:49] @linux_trojan: The easiest way I know of is to get a TV-card that is supported in Ubuntu, then use VLC and its Media Library to view the output [04:49] Arthur__: netstat -ln |grep LISTEN |les [04:49] Arthur__: netstat -ln |grep LISTEN |less [04:49] zortec: no gui here [04:49] cli only [04:50] cyrano_de found it, now... because I'm being dumb today, how do I set it? [04:50] to have them execute in order is not a problem. I know also how to execute something in the Background. But when I tried to do both things simultaneosly, I seem to hit a wall [04:50] JoeM: For a strip set (raid0) you would change --level=1 to --level=0. [04:50] How do I quickly and easily convert an FLV to an AVI in Ubuntu 8.10? [04:50] s/strip/stripe/ [04:50] Миами [04:50] Freudian slip perhaps.... [04:50] ruski [04:50] OttifantSir: I am sure my media card is supported, its a Haupaggue 1250 or seoomthing [04:51] Tetracomm: Try Handbrake or Pitivi? [04:51] linux_trojan, is your card setup already and you just need an app to watch tv? [04:51] JoeM: listen to Cyrano_De.. your logic on setting up a RAID0 is not accurate though.. [04:51] want me to pastebin the output... i guess it looks ok [04:51] dft: /boot/grub/grub.conf [04:51] ctmjr: its the "SETUP" that is bogging me down, I want just plug and play [04:51] all the configureation is just too much [04:51] I've tried "./script.sh > /dev/null &" but doesnt work [04:51] hai zortec [04:52] Tetracomm:Well HB does MP4 so I would say Pitivi 0.13.1 is great [04:52] JoeM: I missed one part of the command. after --create you need to give it a device name. This is a new device that it will create to refer to your raid group. Convention is /dev/md0 [04:52] Tetracomm: Pitivi in the ubuntu repos sucks though. [04:52] soni: Hi :) [04:52] @linux_trojan: I don't have a supported card, so I didn't get where I wanted, but the easiest way I found was through VLC. Download it, then go to: http://forum.videolan.org/ [04:52] Arthur__: Sure pastebin it, let's look [04:52] dbugger: What is that command supposed to do? [04:52] First im taking a video and reencoding it [04:53] JoeM: So it would be mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 [04:53] dbugger: how about sh script.sh [04:53] OttifantSir: VLC should must be plug and play? [04:53] then I take a screenshot, and the I move them [04:53] by the way, VLC comes with Ubuntu [04:53] Not entirely Plug and Play. You have to tell it to use the card and search for the channels. But that's pretty much what you have to do with any TV [04:53] JoeM: Raid0 (stripe set) has now redundancy and should only be used when protecting the data is less critical than speed. [04:54] is it possible to create a launcher for an application to run in a terminal but to customize the background of the terminal? [04:54] dbugger: "./script.sh > /dev/null" It read "Take the output of script.sh and write it to /dev/null." I don't think you can write anything to /dev/null . /dev/null is nothingness. Like null is common lisp. [04:54] Does iTunes work on Ubuntu? I really need the iTouch 3.0 firmware. [04:54] OttifantSir, he's a troll, doesn't want help, just to cause issues [04:54] ok leeme see [04:54] dft: Check out this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [04:54] wapko, that doesnt does the trick :( [04:54] OttifantSir: I am downloading it now [04:54] Hilikus: Open terminal, edit menu, profile preferences. [04:54] @linux_trojan: VLC is in the repos of Ubuntu, but doesn't come pre-installed, sadly [04:54] cyrano_de right, I understand that, not worried about redundancy atm. When I run that command it says both devices are busy [04:54] zortec: ty [04:54] linux_trojan, most tv cards are plug and play in ubuntu try me-tv and see if it finds your card you might have to install firmware for it v4l has a lot info on their website [04:55] Hilikus: You can make it transparent , background image, whatever. [04:55] doh... they're mounted [04:55] JoeM: Once the mdadm create command finishes you need to assemble the array (initialize in hardware raid speak). mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 [04:55] linuxguy2009: no, i need to customize it from the launcher and ONLY for that terminal, not for all my terminals in my system [04:55] edbian, does it change if it takes parametes? like "./script.sh file.avi > /dev/null"? [04:55] Hilikus: sorry no idea [04:55] JoeM: That will put /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 in your new /dev/md0 raid device. [04:55] what is: avahi-daemon: and ntpd ??? [04:56] dbugger: ">" means write to... [04:56] cyrano_de ok, now why is it saying they are busy? GUI says they aren't mounted [04:56] dbugger: so > /dev/null almost always doesn't make sense [04:56] how are you today:zortec [04:56] OttifantSir: and ctmjr: got it, one sec while I take a look [04:56] Hilikus: Unless there is a way in teh terminal to do it, there probably wont be a way for a launcher to. [04:56] JoeM: if your not worried about redundancy then why are you trying to strip a raid0 like a raid0+1 [04:57] linuxguy2009: that's what i thought [04:57] JoeM: did fdisk finish without error? What step are you on that says they are busy? [04:57] can anyone here help me with md5check sums [04:57] edbian, that doesnt do anything. What I need is to be able to keep using the same terminal as this script works [04:57] cyrano_de fdisk finished without error, when I try to run mdadm it says they are busy [04:57] Hilikus: Why would you need such a thing anyways? [04:57] i have already read the information provided by the robots [04:57] edbian: i think he writes to dev/null to ensure that theres i no output, the script converts media, and he just doesnt want ffmpeg to be verbose [04:57] soni: I'm doing well, a little irritated that my sister went to an untrusted website and now I have trojans and viruses but cleaning it up. [04:57] * D3f0 is away: Ausente por ahora [04:57] dbugger: OOoooohhh. Than yeah your script makes total sense :) [04:57] sorry about that [04:57] wiggmpk I'm not, I'm trying to set up two seperate raid 0 arrays for two seperate things [04:57] !away > D3f0 [04:57] D3f0, please see my private message [04:58] edbian, was that ironic? :D [04:58] say a friend of mine asked if by replacing the 32 bit kernel of ubuntu with the 64 bit, if that would make the system a 64 bit os, i have read some of this, and said i think yes, but i want to make sure, and what is the 64 bit verison called?? please help, thanx. [04:58] linuxguy2009: i keep getting confused between my terminals, i have one for each host and sometimes i think i'm working on one when it's the other [04:58] JoeM: Any output from a partprobe command? [04:58] Hylian: It would only make a difference if you have a 64 bit cpu [04:58] wiggmpk I only need 16mb of space for swap, the rest of the 2TB I want to use for /home [04:58] cyrano_de sudo partprobe gives me nothing [04:58] JoeM: How about fuser /dev/sda1 and lsof /dev/sda1 [04:58] Hylian: other than that, it hurts performance to run a 64 bit os with a 32 bit cpu [04:59] OttifantSir: Those that select the default packages may not agree on what media player would be most popular or user friendly and the choices might be something like totem, xine, mplayer, vlc and they probably realize that xine or tomtem will more than likely be all the average user will want/need but the advanced user might prefer the swiss-army-knife of media players, mplayer. [04:59] dbugger: using a "&" after the command makes it run in the background [04:59] JoeM: i hope the 16mb of swap was a typo? [04:59] Is linux pretty much virus proof?? [04:59] lwells: no [04:59] cyrano_de nothing on both [04:59] lwells: yes [04:59] lwells: :) :D [04:59] Hilikus: Might want to check out terminal profile names. Might be your answer. [04:59] wiggmpk yeah.. should have said gb [04:59] well we both have 64 bit cpu's and are both running 32 bit os's [04:59] edbian, yeah, but it's not working... :( [04:59] Well we have a consensus then [04:59] linuxguy2009: where's that?? [04:59] lwells: Yes [04:59] lstarnes: linux is not virus proof [04:59] WIGGMPk: it is very virus resistant though [05:00] ME-TV gave me this error--------> Failed to scan: scanning is only supported for DVB-T and DVB-C devices [05:00] Well people could let the virus in, but if careful , very hard for viruses to get in right? [05:00] JoeM: Once fdisk is done they should not be in use at all as there is no filesystem data anywhere at this point. [05:00] Hylian: There is a huge discussion in the 64 bit forum about running a 64 bit os. Most like myself are running a 32 bit ubuntu on a dual core system [05:00] lwells: honestly it is not virus proof and anyone that tells you that is ignorant and naive.. [05:00] WIGGMPk: the few viruses that have been able to work on linux haven't spread [05:00] Hilikus: Listed in the terminal, edit menu, profile preferences. [05:01] but to do harm the virus needs to get to root right?? [05:01] Gaaar please help. THis command "sudo rsync -udv /mnt/sda/home/justin/Documents/* /home/justin/Desktop/Documents" is only copying over the folder, not the contents of them, what gives? [05:01] lstarnes: WIGGMPk is correct, you could get your self a virus or worm or root kit and install it, but as far is it happening by itself as it does on a MS Windows system, no... [05:01] linuxguy2009: mmm interesting. thanks [05:01] The latest I heard on virus discussion was that there are about 5 known viruses on linux, very small compared to Windows [05:01] What's better, emacs or vim? [05:01] WIGGMPk name a virus plz [05:01] lwells: Even without root privledges, they can still wipe out users personal files [05:01] JoeM: What does fdisk -l give you? [05:01] hiug: #ubuntu-offtopic, not here, thanks. [05:01] zortec, only 5?? [05:01] lstarnes: A linux system does not install virus on it's own. [05:01] hiug: emacs [05:01] usr13: I am aware of that [05:01] lwells: 5 or 6. [05:01] OttifantSir: in VLC, what do I do to select my tv tuner? [05:01] zer0ne_: i dont need to.. and i dont need to sit here and debate with you about it.. look it up.. read the forums.. understand the system.. [05:01] Does it show the two fd partitions on both sda and sdb? [05:02] Hilikus:Im googling for an answer. [05:02] yikes, that is nothing compared to windows [05:02] lstarnes: Why did you ask then>? [05:02] cyrano_de shows those disks partitioned as I set it as linux raid autodetect non-bootable [05:02] cd /mnt [05:02] doh [05:02] usr13: I don't recall asking anything [05:02] lwells: I doubt most linux users are paranoid about getting viruses, but if you want to play it safe I mean you could install av software [05:02] linuxguy2009: i think i found it [05:02] me too, sorry i was away, my buddy is currently gui less, used the driver that came with ubuntu, and it doesnt work now. i had this same problem, so i am waling him through this [05:03] lstarnes: Ok wrong nic sorry [05:03] i don't believe i can execute an .exe in linux [05:03] Hilikus: If you have, please share. [05:03] zortec, just wondering, I am pretty safe anyway [05:03] zer0ne_: You can :) [05:03] in wine ok [05:03] lwells: WIGGMPk is correct, you could get your self a virus or worm or root kit and install it, but as far is it happening by itself as it does on a MS Windows system, no... [05:03] willingly [05:03] zer0ne_: When you type ./ that is the command to execute a .exe [05:03] I suggest anyone that doubts the ability for a linux system to contract a "virus" or other "thing" that can be devastating to a system.. read the forums.. particularly http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812 [05:03] JoeM: I do not know why these would be showing in use. [05:03] zer0ne_: You do that at the cli [05:04] usr13 right, that was what i was asking [05:04] Hilikus:Hey just go open a terminal, go to terminal menu, set title. Easy as that! hehe [05:04] @linux_trojan: Now you're asking a difficult question. As I said, I didn't get there, but let me take a look and see if I can remember what you should do. [05:04] linuxguy2009: manually?? [05:04] linux_trojan, dvb-t stands for over the air digital your card is more than likely analog only and if your in the u.s. it will not work and vlc will not play a tv channel without a channels.conf file [05:04] Hilikus: Yep [05:04] the user would have to install in or the software knowingly [05:04] its a lengthy read so sit down and strap in [05:04] WIGGMPk: You ever had one? [05:04] linuxguy2009: naaah [05:04] zer0ne_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812 for your pleasure [05:04] from ubuntuforums: I had to change the launcher command to: gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=WHICHEVER PROFILE YOU WANT [05:05] Hilikus: God forbid you have to actually think while using your PC.hehe jk' [05:05] usr13: no.. the potential is there.. just not the same as Windows or MAC.. [05:05] ctmjr: that shoots me down right there [05:05] dbugger: have you looked at this ? http://www.jiltin.com/index.php/scripts-unix/simple-php-script-to-call-linux-unix-bash-shell-program-and-execute-it/ [05:05] I use DirecTV so I have no clue how to get this channels.conf [05:05] cyrano_de restart maybe? [05:05] dbugger: and do you have your > /dev/null in the sh script or do you try to do that from php [05:05] JoeM: Try the mdadm --create command one more time first. [05:05] I have DVB if I use cable tv? [05:05] Lets see [05:05] * __d3f0__ is away: Ausente por ahora [05:05] I was reading that you cannot even do a brute attack on a linux machine because they attack the root and it is locked [05:06] It's possible to give a normal user rights to install programs when you set up users in the ubuntu install. [05:06] linuxguy2009: i'm thinking like crazy, administering a pvr, apache, samba, media center, backup server is not easy. this is just to let me focus on what matters [05:06] I have it in my php. Should I put it in the script? [05:06] WIGGMPk: I beg your pardon, the potential is not there. [05:06] cyrano_de same thing, says both are busy [05:06] Hilikus: You want to do this from a launcher? [05:06] dbugger: i think you should. put after every command in you script ofc [05:06] Anything at the end of a dmesg output that looks like it might be using them? [05:07] cyrano_de both only cdrom shows up under /media and nothing under /mnt, nothing in fstab to mount those drives either [05:07] linuxguy2009: yes, like i said, it is possible and i gfound the answer already [05:07] I noticed something too on my install too (i am such a NoOb), that mem management is much better [05:07] wapko, that web is no good. There's a difference between the command "system()" and "exec()" in PHP im using the second [05:07] lwells: Agreed, memory management is WAY better in linux than windows [05:07] I have a mac, and it ram fills up and only way to release it most times is to reboot [05:07] @linux_trojan: Try this, and ask someone else who has gotten it to work if it doesn't: Open VLC, Tools -> Show Settings -> All -> Input/Codecs -> Access modules -> Choose DVB input with v4l2 support [05:08] zortec , even on a mac [05:08] WIGGMPk: You can run anti-virus software on you LAN but expect it to only be useful for keeping any MS Windows PCs safe, it is not needed for your Linux machines. [05:08] cyrano_de it says something about those two disks on dmesg | tail, write proetct is off, mode sense... write caech... [05:08] dbugger: ok. in no php shark :P why not use the system instead ? or is that a problem ? [05:08] JoeM: Can you get into the partition table on both drives with fdisk? [05:08] If I put "/dev/null &" after every command in the script... they wont execute in order! [05:08] Hilikus: gnome-terminal --help-window-options you can set the title from a launcher. [05:08] There you go. [05:08] System wont allow me to use scripts I think [05:08] one sec [05:08] cyrano_de I can print them, change them, etc with fdisk [05:08] lwells: Well yeah, but memory management on windows 7 is great too so maybe they took some hints from linux [05:09] dbugger: but he executes a .sh script in the example [05:09] Hilikus: --title= [05:09] hei [05:09] my buddy wants 64 bit os because he has 8 gigs ram, i only have 4. [05:09] zortec, you been using win 7? [05:09] usr13: was that intended for me? I dont recall discussing anti-virus software [05:09] lwells: I was running it in virtualbox to test it out [05:09] yeah i see... Now it's making me doubt.. :S [05:09] hei [05:09] hallo [05:09] I was thinking of getting it, it is suppose to be pretty cheap [05:09] JoeM: Try a reboot. [05:09] Gotta love the terminal.Its usefull for everything. [05:09] WIGGMPk: Never mind, this discussion os OT anyway. [05:09] zortec: Run lsb_release -a in Windows 7 command prompt and you'll see it revealed information -- Some kind of linux distro. [05:09] i got a desktop im triyng to install unbuntu onto.first attempt the CD corrupted or something and an incomplete ubuntu is still there.reburned a new install cd.im trying to remove the old ubuntu but the install cd wont install over it and xp is on the other partition [05:09] lwells: Is it cheap? I thought it was like $400 or 500 [05:10] I hear under 70 [05:10] ok so i have a slightly different question, if you have 8 gigs ram, and your using a 32 bit ubuntu, will changing to the 64 bit kernel give you all 8 gigs next reboot? [05:10] mobi-sheep: Thanks for the tip. :) [05:10] usr13: yes it is.. *shrug* [05:10] but anyway, that web doesnt sole my problem. I already know how to invoke a script. What I need is for the script to run in the background so that the PHP code continues it's course [05:10] !cron | dbugger [05:10] dbugger: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [05:10] OttifantSir, that will not work vlc does not scan channels the most he/she will get is that the card is there [05:10] Hylian: You can't just change to a 64bit kernel, but yes. When you install the 64bit OS you'll get all the RAM (assuming your motherboard/etc supports it) [05:10] stronze: Boot the disk and use the verify feature to test the disk for errors. [05:10] lwells: Under 70? That has to be a mistake [05:11] dbugger: try to use nohup then ? [05:11] linuxguy - already did [05:11] ok thanx [05:11] lwells: Over here, it's upwards of $500 for the full version [05:11] stronze: What version? [05:11] I never heard of "nohup" or "cron" :SSS [05:11] Sorry that is the upgrade zortec [05:11] latest [05:11] 9.0.4 or something [05:11] stronze:That being 9.04 or 9.10 testing? [05:11] o.04 [05:11] Does anyone know if Ubuntu 9.04 -ps3 is 32bit? [05:11] stronze: Does a live session boot up? [05:12] @ctmjr: I know I scanned with VLC, but my setup wasn't correct, so I got nowhere. But I know I scanned with VLC. [05:12] Damn, 9 viruses found in clam. Now I remember why I switched to Linux even though I still keep Windows around for gaming. [05:12] you mean run off disk? [05:12] stronze:Yeah the live session. [05:12] zortec, knock on wood. [05:12] yes it can run off the new burned cd [05:12] iamtechno: I play Aion, and they don't have a linux port of it.

[05:12] stronze: So how far does the install get before failing? [05:12] anyone know any tips for getting the smb share to show under my network places in xp [05:12] Escriba el texto aquí....ola [05:12] oal [05:12] sorry for the long link [05:12] we havent tried to reinstall [05:12] ola [05:13] iamtechno: The only other game that I play that runs in Linux is WoW. [05:13] Hola! [05:13] dbugger: just run 'nohup sh script.sh' and i runs it in background with no output. dont know how nohup does with scripts though.. [05:13] about half way thru status bar [05:13] on orginal burn [05:13] lets see.. [05:13] zortec: WoW runs on Linux? [05:13] usr13: Yep. [05:13] how can I set ubuntu to automount a drive? [05:13] linuxguy - if i can remove the old ubuntu then ill be fine [05:13] usr13, yes, and better [05:14] usr13: You just have to switch from directx to opengl [05:14] akore: Automount what drive? [05:14] SeaPhor: under wine? [05:14] zortec, I meant that in my opinion that's they way it should be: Linux as a primary and Winblows for games or anything that Linux doesn't do well. [05:14] usr13, yes will do in wine, i choose cedega [05:14] linuxguy - it doesnt acknoledge orginal burn but ubuntu install with new cd does [05:14] iamtechno: I think that Linux should be able to handle everything. Gaming is not too far behind. [05:15] same result with nohup... the script runs fine, but the code halts in the system call until it's finished :( [05:15] SeaPhor: cedega? [05:15] linuxguy2009: an internal hdd ntfs [05:15] akore: What did you use to burn your disks with? The app I mean, [05:15] zortec: Really the only reason it doesn't "handle" games is because big companies don't make games for it. [05:15] SeaPhor: I run it in wine. You have to pay for cedega right? [05:15] !info cedega [05:15] Package cedega does not exist in jaunty [05:15] dbugger: k, then i dont know :S [05:16] akore: hmm no idea sorry, Do you share it with Windows or need to? [05:16] grrrrrr ty anyway [05:16] i hate mplayer, what can I use instead> [05:16] usr13, i also play City of Heroes, all star wars,,,, morrowind, oblivion,,, and on and on, but is OT, ,, [05:16] and the PHP channel of freenode is always full :S [05:16] linuxguy2009: I share with windows [05:16] akore: VLC? [05:16] Hello [05:16] akore: What do you not like about mplayer? [05:16] SeaPhor: All in cedega? === nabeel is now known as Guest96614 [05:16] zortec, no [05:16] HELLO [05:16] SeaPhor: But you are paying a monthly subscription? [05:16] I SAID HELLO [05:16] usr13: streaming divx sucks and when I try to open it in mplayer it freezes [05:16] SeaPhor: Or maybe it's per year, I can't remember [05:16] yxz97: Wanna get banned?

[05:16] !hi | yxz97 [05:16] yxz97: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [05:17] edbian, no [05:17] !player | akore [05:17] zortec: are you saying WoW has a native Linux client? [05:17] akore: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [05:17] akore: I think there is some manual configuring if I remember reading correctly.Not sure how though. Sure its on google somewhere. [05:17] zortec, and see me in my channel, this is OT [05:17] Hello Flannel ubottu [05:17] :-) [05:17] usr13: the command is simply !cedega if you still need it ;) [05:17] I'm doing some coding in objectiveC [05:17] yxz97, watch the caps its the same as yelling [05:17] akore, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindows if you want to do it via GUI look at the 3rd suggestion the page. [05:17] !cedega [05:17] cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega [05:17] hey guys, i know ext3/4 doesn't fragment much, but how would I go about doing something similar to a "full format" on my harddrive from a livecd? [05:17] Ubuntu 9.04 includes an ISO mounter with a right click menu option. [05:17] bastidrazor: thanks but Ill just click on the icon to mount it lol [05:17] however gedit doesnot have color code enlightment [05:18] WIGGMPk: I'm saying that you just copy your folder over from Windows to Linux and make a few changes in the wine configuration file and WoW can run in Linux. [05:18] nellmathew: Hi :) use gparted. You do know that a format erases all data on that partition right?? [05:18] can vlc stream mpg feeds from firefox? [05:18] akore, okay, you were asking about automounting.. [05:18] in the browser [05:18] how to install flash amd64? [05:18] zortec: ok.. i thought there was a native client.. thanks [05:18] bastidrazor: I was, but I dont want to mess with it [05:18] @nellmathew: System -> Administration -> Partition [05:18] linuxguy2009 - any suggestins for my problem or are you still tracking? [05:18] zortec, its like less than $5 a month,,, i spend more than that a day on coffee and i support software that works and gets me away from M$ [05:18] cyrano_de same deal, and now things seem worse.. thinking nvidia 177 was not right, no X now [05:19] @akore: Try searching here: http://forum.videolan.org/ [05:19] any suggestion to program in gnome ? [05:19] yurikoles: Test your memory with memtest86 maybe? [05:19] yxz97: gvim does have syntax highlighting. So does scite if you must use the mouse. [05:19] edbian: yeah i do, but why are the formats with gparted so quick? is it doing a proper job of wiping the drive clean and removing clusters? [05:19] oops [05:19] @akore: I believe it should manage it, but I am not sure. Never tried streaming something from Firefox [05:19] yxz97, what are you looking to program? Script? c++/java? [05:19] stronze: Test your memory with memtest86 maybe? [05:20] JoeM: I have not had good luck with nvidia proprietary drivers for the last couple of years. [05:20] linuxguy2009 - huh?im trying remove failed ubuntu install [05:20] nellmathew: No. They just remove the data table that holds queries of files. [05:20] ObjectiveC man [05:20] nellmathew: IDK. I never really questioned it. I think it is just marking the index to tell the OS this area is ext3, this area is NTFS, etc etc. I don't think it actually changes the 0's and 1's in the partition. Just sort of sets flags. [05:20] are you blind ! [05:20] :P [05:20] anyone good with samba? [05:20] JoeM: So both devices say they are busy? [05:20] cyrano_de I have witht he ubuntu ones, I'll just manually install it later [05:20] yxz97: gedit does have some colorcode.. down at the bottom/statusbar. it says plain text.. there should be som options [05:20] joustin: What? [05:20] cyrano_de yes, said both were busy still [05:20] stronze: What exactly are you trying to do? Reinstall? Format the drive? [05:20] iamslango, I'm doing some coding in objectiveC [05:20] does ubuntu have native graphic card drivers, or are those usually propritory [05:20] LOLWUT? [05:20] it shows that the share if ok, but I cannot see it from windows [05:20] im trying to install a game from a mounted iso file. setup.exe isnt able to locate files needed to install. [05:20] joustin: I'm not good with it but may be able to answer your question [05:20] yxz97: I think there is a color coding plugin. Look at the preferences. [05:21] edbian: thanks :-[ [05:21] mobi-sheep: how would i wipe out the drive and do a proper format then? [05:21] cyrano_de I get 4 errors on boot now about blocks [05:21] the permissions look good but it isnt cooperating [05:21] JoeM: So the mdadm --create did not complete? [05:21] wapko, I see it now... I'm the blind here ! [05:21] :( [05:21] linuxguy2009 - first cd corrupted and half installed ubuntu.its still there but pc doesnt reconise it but new ubuntu instal does but wont install over it and cant figure out how to remove [05:21] nellmathew: NP :) [05:21] @nellmathew: google dban [05:21] JoeM: 4 errors on which devices? [05:21] cyrano_de it didn't say [05:21] Anyone does iphone programming on ubuntu? [05:22] any IDE to help ? [05:22] Installed 9.04 w/ a US/Dvorak keyboard layout, and now I need to set the layout at the login prompt to US/Standard101. Not in Properties>Keyboard, and I do't see the device listed in my X11.conf [05:22] nellmathew: Are you giving somebody else the hard drive? If you're still using it for yourself, that would be pointless. However, I heard dd is the best way to go. [05:22] cyrano_de just said no block devices found. 4x [05:22] yxz97, you might try and see if Eclipse can support ObjectiveC [05:22] stronze: Then your is FUBAR. No reason ubuntu cant overwrite a drive. [05:22] I'm just doing console... like a very good old hacker !!! [05:22] stronze: Less you have failing hardware or some such. [05:22] JoeM: That is very odd. What does fdisk -l output now? [05:22] linuxguy2009 -new HDD. [05:22] nellmathew: dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/ [05:22] yxz97: check out monodevelop [05:23] iamtechno, yeah, seems like CDT can be modified to work with objectiveC compiler but, is complicated put it to work seems like [05:23] what does recursive or recursively means [05:23] stronze: live session. gparted erase the drive and then reinstall. [05:23] WIGGMPk, ok [05:23] thanks mobi-sheep, OttifanSir, and yeah I'm selling my netbook. [05:23] thanks edbian, was just about to look that up! [05:23] yxz97: Just use vim then. [05:23] stronze: Are you trying to mix Windows and Ubuntu on the same machine? [05:23] nellmathew: NP [05:23] yxz97, I used to use nano when I first was doing cmd line programming [05:23] cyrano_de shows the same things [05:23] Cyrano_De, yeah vim is good [05:23] linuxguy2009 - gparted erase? yes trying to dual os [05:23] nellmathew: Good luck selling your comp! [05:24] WIGGMPk, mono is microsoft! [05:24] a witch, a witch !!! [05:24] stronze: I figured. Forgive my tone, but I dont know why newbs try and run before they walk.No better way to say it. [05:24] burn him, burn him !! [05:24] :P [05:24] ahh [05:24] nellmathew: http://ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/03/how-to-destroy-all-your-data-on-your-ubuntu-linux-system.html [05:24] thanx for all the help guys, im still helping ym buddy, he is still gui-less, lol [05:24] linuxguy2009 - i already did dual install with vista and ubuntu on laptop [05:24] nellmathew: They use dd commands. ;o [05:24] viruses found: 27 - I might ban my sister from my computer. [05:24] JoeM: So it shows both /dev/sda and /dev/sdb with two partitions of type fd? [05:24] hi am using ubuntu 9.04...in shell for loop is not working.. anyone why this is so? [05:24] yxz97: http://monodevelop.com/ is an IDE for developing in several different languages [05:24] else I get something better than vim , I will keep using it [05:24] stronze: IMO mixing is more trouble than its worth, [05:25] @zortec: Sounds like a good solution! [05:25] mobi-sheep, nellmathew: if you're worried about secure stuff, use shred. [05:25] linuxguy2009, you give the worst advice i've ever seen in this channel.. and you're calling someone else a 'newb' [05:25] cyrano_de it's sdb and sdc, but yes (sda is my SSD the OS is on) [05:25] Thats all I have to say about that, on to the next topic. [05:25] nellmathew: Try shred --help [05:25] WIGGMPk, have you ever configure monodevelop to program for iphone ? [05:25] yxz97: and if I remember correctly.. iPhone is C# or C++ [05:25] stronze: Sorry I said excuse the tone. hehe [05:25] iphone is neither C# neither C++ [05:25] Hello all, I am hoping someone can fill me in on how to change the boot screen text on my encrypted Ubuntu installation [05:25] is ObjectiveC [05:25] Flannel: Thanks. [05:25] yxz97: no, cause Apple is ghey and I dont like the iPhone [05:25] is different [05:25] stronze: Im actually very helpfull. [05:25] oh i got it! lol [05:25] linuxguy2009 - if i can remove the old ubuntu i can get ubuntu installed side by side but the problem is i cant erase it [05:25] I really think we should be able to give points for good answers. [05:26] yxz97: C++ and C# are ObjectiveC languages [05:26] WIGGMPk, so how you know that monodevelop will help me ? [05:26] stronze: Sorry i cant help you. [05:26] what? WIGGMPk [05:26] - | [05:26] * - |.| [05:26] * - |.| [05:26] * - |\./| [05:26] * - |\./| [05:26] * - . |\./| .

[05:26] Hey lets flood teh room.yeah [05:26] !flood | sage_ [05:26] sage_: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [05:26] awww, pretty graphics. i wanted to see all of it :P [05:26] nice figure guys... let him ! :P [05:26] edbian - first attempt ubuntu istall failed due to corrupt disc i assume [05:26] lol [05:27] yxz97: I dont.. I said check it out.. im sure there is a plugin for the iphone.. [05:27] sage_: Nice. Don't do it. Just paste it in pastebin and link the post. :0 [05:27] Can someone tell me how to change the Ubuntu boot screen text? I have an encrypted setup and I want to change what displays between GRUB and the XDM [05:27] edbian - new cd sees old but wont install over and cant find a way to remove old [05:27] stronze: If your disk is corrupt gparted can tell. Do you want to check using gparted? I'll teach you how if you don't know. [05:27] K ALL [05:27] stronze, do a manual partition and select the format the partition that has the current install of ubuntu. [05:27] say guys, i want to run a ftp server from my ubuntu machine, what software do you suggest? [05:27] gcc compiles ObjectiveC [05:27] edbian - sure ill learn [05:27] Hylian: ftp server to accomplish what? Your own personal use? or... [05:27] stronze: Do you have gparted installed? [05:27] hi [05:28] edbian - mind going pm to make this easier? [05:28] np [05:28] !hi | simpx [05:28] simpx: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [05:28] cyrano_de there is a mdadm conf file in /etc/mdadm looks liek default as I see nothing in it, should I leave it there? [05:28] yeah just so i can leave this beast run and then from a client's house gain access to certain files. i know how to do it, been doing it a long time, but i want to know what's a good server [05:28] Hylian: vsftpd [05:28] yxz97: btw.. Objective C and Objective C++ are class extensions on the base language.. [05:28] tanx [05:28] Hylian: Use sftp instead of ftp. It's easier to set up, more secure, and easier on your port forwarding. [05:28] yxz97, You could run Notepad++ under Winw [05:29] !bootoption | Amtrask [05:29] Amtrask: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [05:29] Has anyone else used clam? [05:29] is that a gui prog, or am i gonna be using the bash commands for this one> [05:29] WIGGMPk, yeah that's right but ! [05:29] are not the same [05:29] thanks mobi-sheep! [05:29] How do I quarantine multiple files without having to select the action for each one? [05:29] have similar features but are distinct.. my friend [05:29] JoeM: I do not believe mdadm requires anything in the /etc/mdadm if you set things up correctly. [05:29] Amtrask: May not be what you're looking for though. I just took a glance. [05:29] wow.. i think my irssi crashed loading the /names for this [05:29] <_< [05:30] zorrolero, personally for linux antivirus, use AVG. They have a free linux AV but its a little trick to find and download. [05:30] so are those 2 progs gui or command line? like sftp [05:30] mobi-sheep: Kinda looks like just the GRUB options. What I'm looking to change is what displays when it asks for the disk passphrase [05:30] zortec, personally for linux antivirus, use AVG. They have a free linux AV but its a little trick to find and download. [05:30] Speaking of C language I was reading today that the big distros are all talking about the stuff about including C# programmed apps and richard stallman said that its risky including them cause microsoft can pull a copyright deal and cause app developers to abondon work and over time it could be devistating to Linux. Interesting topic. [05:30] JoeM: Are you running these commands with sudo or root? [05:30] yxz97: look im not gonna sit here and get down to the niddy griddy with programming languages.. if you want an IDE to program iPhone applications in linux.. I suggest "CHECKING" out MonoDevlop, it might accommodate you.. [05:30] iamtechno: Where can I find it? [05:30] linuxguy2009: #ubuntu-offtopic for that, not here, thanks. [05:30] Amtrask: Here is a bunch of things that you may want to look for (before you can find it). [05:30] !boot | Amtrask [05:30] Amtrask: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [05:31] MS owns C? [05:31] How was that offtopic? [05:31] Hylian: sftp is a server you set up by installing the openssh-package. It'll run the server, you connect to it through any one of a large list of sftp clients (filezilla is one that exists for windows and linux) [05:31] zortec, let me find the download link real quick [05:31] linuxguy2009: This is a support channel. Non-support "About" discussions belong in #ubuntu-offtopic [05:31] !grub | Amtrask [05:31] Amtrask: 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 [05:31] JoeM: Try mdadm --auto What does that output look like? [05:31] Amtrask: I think that's what you're looking for. o.O [05:31] quit [05:31] exit [05:31] Ok I see I have upset a mod. Goodnight everyone before I get banned. [05:32] ok cool thanx [05:32] WIGGMPk, yeah, .... you must not discuss about something you don understand [05:32] eh [05:32] mobi-sheep I'll take a look, thanks! [05:32] /whois Fetusbubble [05:32] whoops [05:32] I will keep vim.. becauase gvim I don't have it [05:32] zortec, http://free.avg.com/download?prd=afl [05:32] JoeM: You should not need to be in single user mode to setup new devices, but that may be what it takes to get this raid setup. [05:32] cyrano_de I think I found something... dmraid is installed and I just removed it so now I don't get the device busy message [05:32] yxz97: why come to a support channel.. ask a question.. then argue the responce??? [05:32] I cannot get from apt-get search gvim [05:33] yxz97: apt-cache search gvim [05:33] WIGGMPk, I like discuss, we learn man [05:33] People who want to discuss here... Take it in #ubuntu-offtopic. This is for support, not discussion. [05:33] JoeM: Does the mdadm --create command work now? [05:33] cyrano_de no I lied.. I just typed the create command wrong [05:33] mobi-sheep, sorry.. [05:33] JoeM: Typos kill me frequently. [05:34] cyrano_de and auto says it requires an arguement [05:34] okok [05:34] yxz97: if you say so.. to me, it appears you want to argue the differences in programming languages =/ [05:34] I have one question [05:34] WIGGMPk, [05:34] no wrong [05:34] yxz97, try the vim-gnome package [05:34] you first start with a wrong affirmation [05:35] yeah iamslango I'm on it too ;) thanks [05:35] iamslango, sorry wasn't for you [05:35] yeah iamtechno I'm on it too ;) thanks [05:35] WIGGMPk, yxz97 let's try not venture into ot territory! [05:35] JoeM: Does the mdadm --create command work now? [05:36] cyrano_de nope, still same thing [05:36] JoeM: Very odd. [05:36] what the hell is keyring, whatever helll [05:37] I today was checkingout some code, and many times was prompted about that... [05:37] until now, I have more free time to ask, about it.. [05:37] yxz97: If you do a "vim syntax files objectivec" search you should find several options for highlighting objectivec files. [05:37] mobi-sheep so I don't think what I'm looking for was in there. When my computer boots, after GRUB has booted the (a?) kernel, it wants the passphrase to decrypt my harddrive (I use LVM + encryption). And I am trying to change the prompt for the passphrase to include some "This computer belongs to blah blah" info in case someone finds my laptop [05:37] cyrano_de very odd and irritating [05:38] JoeM: Can you try booting into single mode and running the mdadm --create and mdadm --assemble commands? [05:38] yxz97, were you checking out from a repository, like SVN or CVS? [05:38] iamtechno, yeah man ! [05:38] Amtrask: Do you know the name of the package that encrypted your HDD?? There is almost definitely a config file in /etc [05:38] JoeM: It should not be required but who knows gvfs or some other hand holding library may have a grip on them. [05:38] Amtrask: Sounds like you used Ubuntu's guided partitioning on alternative disk. ;3. You may try Google or #lvm -- Or hang out around here. I don't know how to change the prompt. [05:38] cyrano_de if I remember correctly.. that's one of the init levels, but can't remember the number [05:38] yxz97, What were you try to check out? [05:39] cyrano_de been a long time since I had to play with things like this, heh [05:39] code man, what else ! [05:39] mobi-sheep: yes I used the alternative CD. edbian: I don't know what encrypted it, it was automated on the alt install CD [05:39] :P [05:39] prompt twice about gnome login keyring... [05:39] yxz97, I meant what specific code? [05:39] Amtrask: It was just a thought. Sorry I can't help more! :( [05:39] edbian: The package is probably cryptsetup. [05:39] private code, is secret code man... [05:39] why? [05:40] Amtrask: Does that sound right?? ^ "cryptsetup" ? [05:40] JoeM: From grub you need to edit your kernel line and put single at the end. If you hit escape when grub is up it will give you the edit commands you need. === ce_metal_cord is now known as cha_alone === cWex_iMutZz is now known as vIQi [05:40] Sounds familiar, yes [05:40] !enter | yxz97 [05:40] yxz97: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [05:40] !info cryptsetup | Amtrask edbian [05:40] Amtrask: cryptsetup (source: cryptsetup): configures encrypted block devices. In component main, is optional. Version 2:1.0.6-7ubuntu7 (jaunty), package size 104 kB, installed size 456 kB [05:40] cyrano_de just remembered that, just a sec and I'll be in it [05:40] JoeM: It should give you a vi based editor when you select (e) edit. === k4k4 is now known as dhEA [05:41] Amtrask: Look at "man cryptsetup" Does it mention a config file? Something in /etc ?? [05:41] how do I request a device switch storage modes? (IE an MSC player which I want to make MTP.. but I cant see the screen) [05:41] iamtechno, sorry man, no more then :) [05:42] yxz97, Then they don't want prying eyes. Ask the developers for a key and get Ubuntu to accept it the you should be good to go. === vIQi is now known as Fia_cAtz [05:42] edbian: I'm not seeing anything... [05:43] Amtrask: About a config file? Or you're not seeing a man page? [05:43] about a config file, sorry [05:43] I'll try dm-crypt [05:43] Amtrask: Keep me in loop. I would like to know the solution too. :3 [05:43] Amtrask: I'm looking as well. [05:43] yxz97, doing what you were doing is just asking to be booted. Just trying to help save you from not getting you the help that you need/want [05:44] Appreciate the help guys! I'll definitely let you know if I find anything [05:44] I'm still don't understand, I was thinking like keyring stores my credentials like a password manager.. but I don't want to keep my passwords stored in the machine, after denied the prompt windows shows me a message which says sometime like: "Do you want to stored the password unencrypted?" obviously I said no === cha_alone is now known as cwo_emO [05:44] cyrano_de I think that worked [05:45] cyrano_de ok, I think I got both created.. now assemble thing drives? [05:45] What is the best antivirus for ubuntu? I know it's an open ended question. [05:45] JoeM: Good to hear. [05:45] booted? why ! : [05:45] Hi everyone!!! [05:45] hi jomagu [05:45] cyrano_de tried assemble, said already active [05:46] JoeM: yes you will need to mdadm --assemble them. Try mdadm --assemble --scan [05:46] yxz97, Then just enter it manually everytime you're asked instead of storing it. [05:46] JoeM: What does that get you ? [05:46] iamtechno, but what password??? [05:46] svn password? [05:46] i need somw help you know if ubuntu work fine with plasma tv conected on vga? [05:46] iamtechno: The file did not exist when I downloaded it. [05:46] ubuntu password? which one? [05:46] cyrano_de no array found in config file to automatically, but query on them seems to show it's active === cWex_iMutZz is now known as CWwe_AlONE [05:47] !antivirus | zortec [05:47] zortec: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus === ce_metal_cord is now known as VIqI [05:47] cyrano_de now how do I set /dev/md0 to be swap? [05:47] JoeM: Try to create a filesystem on /dev/md0 === VIqI is now known as viqi [05:47] Amtrask: It is possible that that menu simply isn't configurable. [05:47] does anyone here have /etc under version control? [05:47] mkfs.swap ? [05:47] no [05:47] hi there [05:48] edbian I was afraid of that.

[06:16] kaddi, true. But it sounds like vortec just wants to install an antivirus as a protective mesure instead of saving an infected one. [06:17] ok, down to one last (I hope) issue... 8.10 64b with 1 GTX 260 and 1 8800 GTS, I tried the default driver from Ubuntu (177) and tried to manually install the latest (185) from nvidia.. both fail to get GDM to start [06:17] it doesnt seem to depend on the driver. i used the opensource one and the closed source one [06:17] xsacha-tv, yeah. Go under Prefs->Screen Resolution and change it there. [06:18] hmm i dont have a Screen Resolution under Prefs? [06:18] that actually bring up a question from me.. which graphic vendor should i chose, since i am going to buy a new machine one of these days? [06:18] xsacha-tv, what version of Ubuntu are you using? [06:18] its essential that it runs well with ubuntu [06:19] ah.. noo i have to go to #ubuntu+1? im using 9.10 [06:19] nvidia or ati?

[07:46] scunizi nope... more and more of the same [07:47] On Windows 7 I could easily put it on power save mode and it became silent\ [07:47] scunizi: but i'm using x86_64..... [07:47] hmm [07:47] ACPI, not AHCI. also: [07:47] scunizi: as displayed in 'uname -a' [07:47] http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_control_fan_speed this might help you, julia [07:48] i think it's more towards thinkpads, perhaps [07:48] this sucks [07:48] Just updat [07:48] thx, I'l take a look at it [07:48] kennyyu: then I don't have an answer [07:48] scunizi: hmm... thanks anyway. [07:48] thikiwiki... what? [07:49] JoeM: bios option? just fishing here now.. [07:49] JoeM, plz leave me a pm if u figure out the issue with kb/mouse im a noob and have no idea [07:49] never say anything to do with graphics in bios... don't see what it would need [07:49] corpx what keyboard/mouse you have? I've fixed it before, just need to remember how [07:50] mx5500 [07:50] same one us aid [07:50] corpx heh, same one I have [07:50] it just dies after a while and on reboots [07:50] have to replug in the usb stick and it works [07:50] JoeM: just thinking of the agp days.. there were typically bios options.. sometimes turning off the built in card, apature, shadow memory etc.. [07:50] hmm [07:50] corpx seach the ubuntu forums for mx5500, that's where I found the solution before [07:50] hey all - I have a question about poor hard disk performance [07:51] do you think if i can use some commands other than 'uname-a' to see what machine arch i'm using? [07:51] ubuntu forums is shutdown [07:51] scunizi well what ever I did.. now it doesn't list any options under hardware drivers [07:51] I've got a SATA drive, and hdparm -tT reports buffered disk reads of 78 MB/sec [07:51] leave umm... I'm on them right now [07:51] 78m/s is fast [07:52] julia it seems your fan speed may be dependant upon your hardware. what is your system? a laptop? desktop? what motherboard? [07:52] JoeM: shouldn't since you installed most of it .. you can replace it via synaptic.. [07:52] but when I actually copy data from this disk to another (also SATA), I get ~5 - 10 MB/sec [07:52] *uninstalled --> JoeM [07:52] (yup - 78 MB/sec would be great! ;-)) [07:52] root@exia:/home/exia# gconf-editor [07:52] ** (gconf-editor:18485): CRITICAL **: Failed to parse arguments: Cannot open display: [07:52] how can i solve it?

This is somewhat beyond me, I'm afraid... [07:53] scunizi let me try the older 173 drivers.. maybe those will work [07:54] how to remove all non-openvz kernels???

[07:54] nsadmin, how to explore what display is right now? [07:55] Hey, is there a way to get a windows desktop through wine? [07:55] no real solutions on the forums [07:55] DISPLAY is an environment variable (note, man X will make good reading) [07:55] scunizi 8800 gts and gtx 260 are listed on supported drivers === desti_T2 is now known as desti [07:55] JoeM: give it a shot [07:56] lincoln: try running winecfg, which has an option to simulate a desktop. This is probably not what you're thinking of though - I suspect you want something more like a virtual machine [07:56] (note also that unix is generally case sensitive, so display is not the same as DISPLAY) [07:57] or Display [07:59] so at the moment you ran that command, what user was X running as?

[08:07] nsadmin, yes [08:07] JoeM: it won't move you from 8.10 to 9.04.. it's function is different.. [08:07] Hi guys.

[08:10] nsadmin, terminal :) well if exactly it is awn terminal [08:10] fettsaq: I've used a vpn tunnel before. What's up? [08:10] and awn terminal is an X app? [08:10] rashed2020, I would have liked something a little bit more advanced, but I suppose it'll do the job :) Wondering a bit about how it handles downloads .. would be nice if it did it all in the background .. [08:11] How do I get a Fusion HDTV DVB-T nano working in Ubuntu? [08:11] nsadmin, i don't know ^^ should i try something other? [08:11] how do i change my name displayed on the menubar? [08:11] no, you don't have to [08:11] nsadmin, WOW! [08:11] put 180 drivers back again... but I still can't modprobe nvidia, that's not good [08:11] Killiondude: Can you tell me which provider you have used? I'm not finding any. [08:11] nsadmin, i just ran gconf-editor through AWN menu 'run' [08:11] fettsaq: http://vpntunnel.net/ [08:11] and did that work [08:11] >?

[08:15] JoeM: you might take a look at the nvidia installer log.. /var/log/nvidia-installer.log [08:16] Killiondude: when you run from CD, the filesystem is in memory (RAM) so update manager will download files into /var/cache/apt/archive as usual, and it will take up space in RAM I believe.... [08:16] how would i go about canceling a package thats installing well its broken package can't fully install and can't upgrade until i fix it [08:16] JoeM: I think that's where it is.. postings say that's the location on Debian.. so it might be the same. [08:16] iMatter cancelling? what do you mean exactly? [08:16] scunizi no such log, this itme I did it through synaptic [08:16] iMatter: can you 'apt-get remove' it? [08:17] Well, the package is broken...and its preventing me from doing anything [08:17] Killiondude: Thanks anyway, thats a nice service youve posted. :) [08:17] Hmm..i thought since it wasn't fully installed that wouldn't work [08:17] but you're not in the middle of installing something now? [08:17] no nsadmin [08:17] losher: Thank you for answering :-D [08:17] ok, so purge the package [08:18] iMatter: sometimes it doesn't work. But you've nothing to lose by trying to remove it.... [08:18] avant-window-navigator: Depends: libawn0 (>= 0.2.1) but it is not going to be installed [08:18] E: Unmet dependencies. Try ‘apt-get -f install’ with no packages (or specify a solution). [08:18] scunizi hmm... I have an idea [08:19] Its for Avant-Windows Navigator but its clashing with libawn-bzr [08:19] you're not mixing versions are you [08:19] i just simply did a "sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator" [08:19] and ended up in this mess [08:19] >.> [08:19] why libawn-bzr?

It continually asks for the key (which I've replaced and tried again) [08:20] iMatter: and you can't remove it for that reason? [08:21] nsadmin, i suspect when i do sudo apt-get remove it gives me an error...im not trying to remove awn just the broken package [08:21] scunizi if I can get that same error again.. I'll just put a symlink to nvidia.ko where it's looking for modules [08:21] Severity1: is that link directed at me? [08:21] iMatter: you suspect? [08:21] so what did you try? [08:21] nsadmin, if i were sure i wouldn't have came here ;) [08:21] JoeM: sounds logical.. [08:22] so what did you try? [08:22] scunizi problem being... it won't give me that error again, heh [08:22] nsadmin, i tried apt-get remove apt-get -f opening synatics and filtering broken and then clicking apply...still couldn't fix it [08:22] TerrorBite, yes and for me too [08:22] is there a way i can just delete the package myself? [08:23] JoeM: Murphy is following you.. when you need it, it won't show [08:23] iMatter: what package? [08:23] hiya folks, i have an unmanaged ubuntu server. i have 2 domains. i already set up 1 and its running. how do i set the other domain site on this server? it doesn't have cpanel or anywebmin [08:23] nsadmin, libawn0 .... [08:24] scunizi very odd... [08:24] scunizi doesn't complain now, jsut says no devices [08:24] JoeM: how many card are currently in the machine? [08:24] TerrorBite, nah it seems you have a different problemthan mine [08:24] that's the package name? try dpkg --purge libawn0 [08:25] scunizi two right now [08:25] JoeM: and you did try removing one? [08:25] can someone point to theright directio i want setup a home vpn server and client [08:25] scunizi did earlier [08:25] !vpn | Severity1 [08:25] Severity1: From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD [08:27] ahhh the samelink scunizi thanks seemslike i really hafta do all those stuff lol [08:28] when i run sudo blah, my alias for blah is lost [08:28] does that sound right ? [08:28] Hey guys anyone interested in learning how to create a custom repository CD for ubuntu? I just uploaded a tutorial if any of you would like to learn on youtube. [08:28] how can i fix that ? [08:29] linuxguy2009: Please keep those sorts of announcements in #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks [08:29] quizme: I don't think you can sudo an alias [08:29] JoeM: maybe this will help.. I don't have audio right now to hear it.. http://linuxcrypt.net/?p=255 [08:29] Can anyone tell me how I can convert a .wma file to .mp3 on 9.04? [08:29] I came in to offer hlep to the community and get nagged. Sorry to have bothered you. [08:30] fettsaq: You have tried ffmpeg? === Maya`Away is now known as Mayazcherquoi [08:30] andrew_46: not yet [08:30] quizme: make sudo part of the alias, or make a script [08:30] fettsaq: ffmpeg or mencoder should be able to do it [08:30] I have Intrepid installed on my EEEPc and now I want to completely remove everything from it (meaning GNOME, all GUI apps etc. so the remaining installation is similarly barebone to a Debian netinstall). I tried removing 'gnome*' but it seems I can't get all stuff away. Is there a meta-package I can use to remove all DE apps?

[08:31] scunizi no audio atm either, that's the broken computer :P [08:31] or you only want support in the form of man pages? [08:31] geirha: i lose my aliases when i sudo [08:31] quizme: try: sudo `alias blah` (note: those are backticks) [08:31] TerrorBite: thanks that would be great [08:31] nsadmin: are you referring to the link I gave JoeM ? [08:31] nsadmin: "support" doesn't mean "announce tutorials" we have other places where that'd be appropriate. Support in this case is fix problems. If someone came in and asked about it, that'd be entirely different. [08:32] andrew_46: thank you [08:32] quizme: alias blah="sudo command arg1 arg2..." [08:32] How would I go about identifying what version number of a package I have? [08:32] scunizi I'm assuming that needs audio since you mentioned it [08:32] quizme: aliases are only available to the shell, not to external commands like sudo [08:32] so what you're really doing therefore is restricting communication, restricting "broadcast" [08:32] JoeM: I guess since the picture is small enough to make it almost unusable for reference [08:33] nsadmin: Technical support doesn't work as a "broadcast" type thing. But, this is offtopic, if you'd like to continue discussion, I welcome you to #ubuntu-offtopic to do so. [08:33] geirha oh i see [08:34] while I'm here, a question about ubuntu policy... are ubuntu packages permitted to touch /usr/local in any way? [08:34] nsadmin: broadcast as a communication method doesn't actually scale particularly well. [08:34] nsadmin: They shouldn't, no. [08:34] I'm trying to unmount a drive, but i can't because it is in use with some program... how can I see what I need to quit to unmount this drive? [08:34] quizme: try: sudo `alias blah` (note: those are backticks) [08:34] duckwars: sometimes 'sudo lsof /dev/sda1' will tell you. Change sda1 to your device, of course... [08:35] losher: thanks [08:35] thank you guys! [08:35] it works [08:35] quizme: did it work? [08:35] JoeM: I'm in a position where I can't use audio right now. [08:36] duckwars: sudo fuser -vc /dev/sda1 [08:36] nsadmin, can you use my nick so i can see your messages to me? [08:36] thanks geirha, the command is pdksh? [08:36] negge: looks like I deleted it, but try: apt-get remove --purge gnome gnome-desktop-environment gnome-core [08:36] iMatter: sure... there ya go :) [08:36] linuxguy2009: yes please i [08:37] nsadmin, thanks >.< i lost you >.> [08:37] losher: well, I wasn't losing my aliases. I overwrote my alias stupidly without the sudo. anyway, i corrected it and it's not working. I didn't try what you suggested though, cuz i think i wasn't losing aliases in the first place.... [08:37] hiya folks, i have an unmanaged ubuntu server. i have 2 domains. i already set up 1 and its running. how do i set the other domain site on this server? it doesn't have cpanel or anywebmin [08:37] How do I install a web server in ubuntu?

I need both for work [08:44] hmm I wouldn't mv [08:44] I would cp -R oldname newname [08:44] nsadmin, I am using qemu to boot the kernel over a disk with ext2 fs (disk is an image file). Qemu has ide disks. So this config should do well.. Yes im running linux now.. [08:45] but I'm not a fan of inline edits [08:45] :) [08:45] any idea what /SYSV00000 is .. it shows up in /proc/firefox/smaps [08:45] the delete the original folder [08:45] vise: ok, so presumably the device is supported by a driver, would you agree? [08:45] nsadmin, meh...i removed libawn-bzr ....now im having even more problems [08:45] scunizi know of a fix? [08:46] nsadmin, 'device' = ide disk drive? [08:46] !ati [08:46] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [08:46] JoeM: what I was suggestion previously is to copy the currently written xorg.conf to xorg.conf.good1 .. yank that card and put in the other card into the other slot and repeat the install process.. it will overwrite the xorg with new info.. compare that xorg to the one you renamed/copied and then merge the two.. manually most likely [08:46] vise: is it an ide drive? or scsi? [08:46] scunizi that's an option [08:46] At boot time, Ubuntu doesn't detect my Dell keyboard. I want to install wubi (to bypass a virus damaged XP), but the lack of keyboard at the start means I can't stop it going to XP. Is there anything short of replacing the keyboard I can do? I'll have to see if another keyboard is available. [08:46] nsadmin, qemu surely has ide drive.. not scsi.. [08:47] Wow... when was is Ubuntu switched to Pulseaudio by default? It's the easiest sound API I've worked with o.o (well, the simple implementation :P) [08:47] it*' [08:47] JoeM: you could try backing up the current xorg.. and put the 2nd card in with the 1st then run nvidia-xconfig to see if it picks it up. [08:47] JoeM: now that the driver is functional it might just work [08:47] vise: ok, now I'm confused [08:48] nsadmin, Hmm... even ##linux don't know anything... :( I think i should try Bochs.. [08:48] let's get that out of the way... what is qemu? [08:48] nsadmin, qemu is like virtualbox.. just lighter and less features.. osdevvers like me use it.. [08:49] alternatively... you have a machine that's running linux and uses device drivers to talk to the HD controllers, yes? [08:49] nsadmin, yes [08:50] MattD: Where does it not detect the keyboard that you need to choose something? [08:50] Lately im having a lot of issues with compiz and my ati drivers (a lot of graphic glitches) when restarting compiz it works fine for a while but after that it will glitch again [08:50] is there a "supervising" instance of the os, one with the kernel and loaded modules, and directly supporting hardware? [08:51] Hello all. Just a quick question I am wanting to have a program load up in Ubuntu at startup. I have added it to my startup apps in Preferences->Startup Aps but when I login the program fails because gnomepanel is not ready. [08:51] Flannel: at grub [08:51] nsadmin, I think you are talking about the one im running now? Ubuntu intrepid on dell laptop.. [08:51] How can I delay the startup of this program until the gnome panel has loaded. [08:51] scunizi the ASUS P6T vanilla is a pain to switch hardware... have to clear CMOS each time [08:51] MattD: you could always just modify GRUB so it defaults to Ubuntu. With wubi, you've got that initial Windows/Ubuntu choice from boot.ini [08:51] If I use a different port from 80, can dyndns.org use it? [08:51] vise: so do you want this kernel for your dell laptop? [08:51] can someone type web.dyndns.org and they get to port 81 [08:52] JoeM: don't switch.. just add.. see my post above.. or is the cmos the same? [08:52] or they have to manually type web.dyndns.org:81 [08:52] scunizi change, add, remove... all the same [08:52] Flannel: I looked at that. I'll see if I can figure out what to change. [08:52] How do I change the port that apache listens on? [08:52] nsadmin, Nope.. Im just trying to get a small distro of my own on a 100 mb disk.. first setup the kernel to mount root and then add application binaries which can be run by it... [08:52] JoeM: and you have to clear the cmos? that is strange.. [08:52] scunizi yeah, fails to post if you don't... something about it keeps an internal list of what parts you have [08:52] MattD: "default N" line near the top of your /boot/grub/menu.lst [08:52] How do I change the port that Apache listens on? [08:52] JoeM: you can't just go into bios and have it autodetect, save and restart? [08:53] Flannel: oh rats. I'm un Ubuntu now (live cd) and probably can't edit it until back in Windows. [08:53] vise: ok, we have to back up a few steps, I'm lost again. Give me a name for your laptop [08:53] scunizi going to boot up with the 8800 to make sure it works too [08:53] scunizi fails to post at all, can't get to bios [08:53] nsadmin, dell [08:53] How do I change the port that Apache listens on? [08:53] MattD: You can edit it from the liveCD [08:53] Flannel: trying that now. [08:53] ok, is there another machine that's in this discussion? [08:53] JoeM: that sucks.. maybe they have a bios upgrade to fix that. [08:53] MattD: oh, uh, if you can successfully mount your wubi partition thing [08:53] scunizi don't think so, it's written into the manual [08:54] Flannel: I can see a folder called WinBoot [08:54] How do I change the port that apache listens on? [08:54] JoeM: I wonder what bone head though up that feature. [08:54] Flannel: yay! menu.lst! [08:54] scunizi well that's not good... this card is only picking up one monitor [08:54] nsadmin, yes.. qemu.. a virtual machine [08:54] JoeM: wait [08:55] JoeM: so you've switched cards? [08:55] How do I change the port that apache listens on? [08:55] is qemu running on dell? [08:55] I need to tweak driver options, but ubuntu doesn't use xorg.conf for graphics configuration... what do I do? [08:55] scunizi there we go, cable was loose [08:55] scunizi switched to make sure they both work and that wasn't the issue [08:55] JoeM: It's the simple things. :) [08:55] nsadmin, yes.. but has different hardware due to virtualization [08:55] so qemu is not hardware itself [08:56] how can i install the latest ati driver? it looks like the restricted driver manager doesnt update to the latest avaible driver [08:56] hey there,i just got a crash handler and now my taskbar is gone [08:56] can someone tell wht i can do [08:56] nsadmin, no.. its a software running in ubuntu that virtualizes hardware... don't you know virtual box / vmware? [08:56] scunizi hmm, second display is giving me christmas static [08:56] I understand the concept... [08:56] how do i select everything in Nano editor [08:56] so dell is running several instances of various OSes [08:57] Flannel: (or anyone else) http://pastie.org/536785 What do I change so that it defaults to Ubuntu and not Windows? [08:57] and one of those is qemu [08:57] JoeM: because it's not listed in xorg yet.. backup xorg and run nvidia-xconfig ... possibly nvidia-settings [08:57] How do I change the port that Apache listens on?> [08:57] should i install something more than libapache2-mod-php5 to get PHP working in apache? [08:57] nsadmin, but qemu is not an os.. its an application.. inside it runs an os... so qemu is running an instance of an os... [08:57] scunizi nope, didn't do it [08:57] I've found a hackish away around this. [08:58] Thanks anyway [08:58] hey guys, which method should i use to install windows (i have 20 gigs unallocated at the end of my harddrive).. install and then restore grub? (adding hd(0,2) to the root section of windows?) - does this work if windows isn't hd(0,0)? [08:58] i reloaded the config, but the server wants me to download the .php files instead of running them. and the logs say that it has been restarted with php [08:58] one thing I just realized is I don't know whether you want this kernel to support actual hardware or to run inside a virtual container [08:58] nellmathew, yes [08:58] vise, thanks [08:58] MattD: Er... wow, this is a very different menu.lst [08:58] nellmathew: have a look at super grub disk for restoring your grub automagically [08:58] pirx: See the troubleshooting section [08:59] !php | pirx [08:59] pirx: PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. A command-line only version can be installed in Ubuntu with the "php5-cli" package. See also !lamp for integrated server PHP. The Ubuntu server PHP5 guide is found at https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/php5.html [08:59] scunizi stupid little things, disconnected and reconnected the cable did it :P [08:59] Flannel: yeah. Somehow I don't think I can touch that and get the result I want. I'd be better off finding a keyboard not made by Dhell. [08:59] MattD: Oh, I think this is... a bootstrap menu.lst to the real menu.lst, so this isn't the right one. [08:59] test [08:59] nsadmin, Its the same thing.. Qemu virtualizes real hardware which is there on any pc... but its a different instance from your real hardware... [08:59] Flannel: the real grub folder appears to be empty (at least the one I found in Windows is) [08:59] so it pretends to be real hardware, the same hardware as is on the real box? [08:59] Revo, Test success [09:00] what does this mean? /usr/bin: bad interpreter: Permission denied [09:00] nsadmin, yes [09:00] MattD: right, you won't be able to see it within windows, because it exists inside the wubi virtual disk thing [09:00] quizme, where do you get that? [09:00] pirx: Sorry, thought it linked to a different page. Anyway, you probably want to use the a2enmod command it mentions in the configuration section [09:00] brb i'm hunting keyboards. [09:00] vise: really? vmware and vbox use their own hardware emulation.. in the vm [09:00] :D found a whole box full! [09:00] scunizi no difference between the xorg.confs [09:00] quizme: maybe you have something in a script file that's not referring to an interpreter [09:01] oh it should be /bin/bash [09:01] duh [09:01] thanks [09:01] scunizi, yes thats what i said.. its a diff instance from ur real hardware... [09:01] HA! The 2nd keyboard.. is a Dell [09:01] and the 3rd [09:01] hello every one [09:02] Does anyone know some engineering channels on IRC? [09:02] vise: I was just reading nsadmin post where he said "so it pretends to be real hardware, *the same hardware as is on the real box?*.. it wouldn't be the same hardware. [09:02] can any one get me the idea how to recover the ubuntu without CD ?? [09:02] will i have to do anything to get compiz running from a fresh ubuntu install? [09:02] yay! a generic keyboard! thanks for the help. time to shutdown and banish Dhell. [09:02] vise: translated to it.. but but more generic I thought.. [09:03] nsadmin, any ideas.. [09:03] anyone? [09:03] iMatter: do you have a backup? [09:03] nsadmin, of what...you mean i have to reinstall ubtun because of this ._. [09:03] oh, what did you say happened after you ran dpkg --configure --pending [09:04] JoeM: k.. are you installing the other board? [09:04] scunizi, it is the same hardware.. ur real box just has more hardware... but vmware/vbox emulates the required part of it.. For example, the ide, keyboard, mouse etc are the same,, but your real box may have more features into it... [09:04] How can I make NetworkManager recognise when my PPP connection is up? [09:04] hi folks, is there anyway to monitor the current bandwith usage rate ? [09:04] At the moment it thinks I'm offline, which means Pidgin refuses to connect [09:04] it's sitting there "waiting for network connection" [09:05] Terralthra, I used pidgin on ppp.. it works! [09:05] yaris123456789: several ways [09:05] *sorry it was for TerrorBite [09:05] Myrtti: whats the tool that starts with "i" ....i can't remember [09:05] scunizi just did, fixing bios again [09:05] iMatter: it's possible, yes. [09:05] yaris123456789, system monitor? [09:05] How do I restart apache? [09:05] yaris123456789: iftop? [09:06] nsadmin, ._. its Avant-Window-Navigator for crying outloud [09:06] asfasdfa: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [09:06] vise: right.. and the drivers for the emulated parts aren't the same. for instance, you have an nvidia card installed but in the vm it won't use real nvidia drivers but vga drivers capable of possibly directx, opengl etc.. (at least on the new vbox 3.0) [09:06] nsadmin, check your messages [09:06] scunizi bios set back, restarting and praying [09:06] need help copying a file >4gb to a fat32 hdd that i cannot format. [09:06] scunizi, correcto [09:06] at grub... [09:07] vise: I can use Pidgin on ppp, but only if I kill NetworkManager first. Otherwise it waits for NM to tell it that the machine is online [09:07] login screen... is text... damn it [09:07] and currently NM thinks I'm offline [09:07] I'm not saying it's definitely broke but there is the possibility, [09:08] vise: that's what I was trying to get at.. I got the impression nsadmin thought the actual drivers in the vm were the same as the drivers on the host. [09:08] scunizi, The vm uses the X to draw to the window and all (or probably compiz).. X then will use your real hardwware... So its emulated vga -> X -> real hardware... Or emulated vga -> X -> linux -> real hardware [09:08] about the msgs, I don't think I got them all because you sent the lines so fast my client thought it was a flood [09:08] asfasdfa: also sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload [09:08] scunizi, kk [09:08] and my client autoignored you [09:08] nsadmin, :S [09:08] vise: yep.. that's what I was getting at... we're in agreement.. [09:08] asfasdfa: will reload and apply apache config without actually restarting the server [09:09] TerrorBite, I dont have to kill the NM.. [09:09] vise: my NM thinks I'm offline when I'm not [09:09] vise: it's not recognising that the PPP connection is up [09:09] TerrorBite, Even mine thinks.. But pidgin never complains about it.. which ubuntu do you have? [09:09] Whats the name of that command line tutorial site? Commandline.org? [09:09] Anyone know? [09:10] vise: xubuntu 8.04 [09:10] I used to have it bookmarked.. [09:10] TerrorBite, My NM always sits there offline.. I have to set firefox to online.. thats it.. all other apps work.. i dont know y it doesnt work in your case... [09:10] scunizi manually edited xorg.conf to add in the second device as device1 [09:10] mcfarlane: I know of ss64.com ... not shure it's the one you're looking for though [09:11] how do I remove a directory that is not empty [09:11] -p doesn't do it [09:11] JoeM: are you smiling yet with a working system? [09:11] duckwars, rm -rf [09:11] kaddi_: i got it, linuxcommand.org :) [09:11] act [09:11] thanks you vise [09:11] scunizi nope [09:11] kaddi_: thanks for trying to help though, appreciate it [09:11] :) [09:11] scunizi I got a (!!) More than one possible primary device found [09:11] nsadmin, http://clububuntu.pastebin.com/f628670ff === MartyMacFly is now known as Guest23810 [09:11] JoeM: xorg needs adjusting.. [09:12] vise: it's just because of how Pidgin talks to NM I assume, all I need to do is somehow tell NM that I'm online and everything will work [09:12] probably via dbus [09:12] JoeM: but you're getting closer.. It's only taken an hour or so.. [09:12] scunizi yeah, that sounds liek a fixable thing... just need to figure it out [09:12] duckwars: man rm (you are warned: you should read this, and look at those options. additionally, note that one additional or missing space could mean the difference between doing wnat you want and removing a hell of a lot of stuff, so you have to be careful and informed) [09:12] scunizi I've been at this for 2 days... one issue after another [09:12] TerrorBite, I think we need to screw with pidgin.. im gonna check its settings.. [09:13] * nathan7 asploads [09:13] JoeM: once it's dialed in.. you're done.. [09:13] hi guys [09:13] ninininininine! [09:13] scunizi ok.. need to find the pciid for these cards [09:13] ninni [09:14] i tried to login to my server with ssh and failed 3 times at a password attempt, now i'm getting connection refused port 22 for that user only. anybody know how to fix that ? [09:14] i have a strange grub problem with jaunty. whenever i try to boot using efi (efi-x device), grub just shows smileys. bios boot works fine [09:14] TerrorBite, What is your pidgin version? [09:14] JoeM: lspci or sudo lshw I think [09:14] <_ged> hi guys, if i were to delete my "panel" the one from the top and the one from the bottom...how can i retrieve that again?? im afraid that if i do that, i may never retrieve it again...i've tried to google around but i didnt get a result... [09:14] scunizi yup, just found them [09:14] vise: 2.5.8 [09:15] TerrorBite, Heh.. mine is 2.5.2.. that might be the trouble.. urs is more advanced and peeks around more than it should... [09:15] JoeM: I've gotta get some sleep. Looks like you're on the right track. I'll be back tomorrow and if you see me please let me know how it went. === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam [09:15] how do I create a boot CD from my current Januty installation [09:15] _ged: you can delete some config files to reset your gnome settings including those panels [09:15] nsadmin, Ok sent you pastebin link [09:15] _ged, gnome-panel runs a panel... [09:15] scunizi thanks for the help... restarting gdm now to see if this worked [09:16] I'll wait [09:16] vise: so either I have to kill NM, or I have to somehow make it recognise the connection. [09:16] NM 0= [09:16] whats the gnome keyboard shortcut for resizing windows? [09:17] JoeM: working?

[09:18] so it recognised the change and reloaded config, but still doesn't see ppp0 [09:19] iMatter: looks like my client is still skeptical... paste the link in the channel [09:20] nsadmin, (i did send it in the channel) http://clububuntu.pastebin.com/f628670ff [09:20] oh ok, cool [09:20] HAHA [09:20] VICTORY!!! === Uncle|Sam is now known as uncle|sam [09:21] <_ged> i got a question again, is there a "shortcut-key" for terminal?? bec. what if i dont have access on "Applications > Accessories > Terminal" ...how will i access the terminal again?

[09:30] wapko, other than that theres no way to do that [09:31] <_ged> vise: i will just drag the terminal to the desktop right? but if the terminal will appear in the desktop...the other user will see the "terminal"...i wanted to set this desktop with auto log in but i dont know what the "user" to have access on the panels...so i think the "alt+f2" thing will do... [09:31] <_ged> but if i drag the terminal* [09:31] with nvidia-settings is there a way to change which graphics card is the primary one?

Oh. set the proper work group also. :) [13:01] hrm, wonder if it has something to do with my encrypted home dir.

[13:35] farciarz84: Ubuntu isn't buggy in nature.. bug arise when you start bloating the system... Windows is buggy because microsoft is lazy.. [13:35] farciarz84, ok, but usually any piece of complex software will contain bugs [13:35] jillsmitt, mm I see then I am puzzled [13:36] Dr_Willis: Is there a way to instruct the device to dial the same number I would dial on windows?

[14:07] beilard, mount the ipod, then transfer files; banshee works as well [14:07] i think pid?/ its a printer driver [14:07] rski: yes, but when I install it, it says me to choose what I want to install. How can I choose them? [14:07] miramardesign: then you mean PPD [14:07] where can I adjust the scroll speed of the scrollwheel on my mouse in ubuntu? it's very erratic and fast sometimes.

That failed with several errors (yes, I was fully up to date in 8.04 first) and the reversion to the previous system also screwed up. Fortunately, I had a complete backup of the system. So, anyway, I've given up on that idea. My new idea is to install 9.04 on another disk and then port everything over. [14:08] bazhang: to the ipod [14:08] rski: Applications [14:08] My question is [14:08] hi [14:08] How can I crack a wifi network?

[14:11] Extend, did u tryed k3b? [14:11] bazhang: i was just asking dont hit me in the head if i want some clarity [14:12] Extend, gnomebaker does a fine job [14:12] bazhang: I entered that. what does it do?

[14:55] ethanol: originally I wanted to have it every 10 minutes, which should */10, but for testing purposes I reduced it, so I could see if it worked :p but I will change that, If it works I know it is the syntax :) === jp is now known as Guest25648 [14:55] erUSUL, ok - thanks for your input. I had hoped that re-partitioning would have been sufficient [14:55] so 11:55:28 PM [14:55] What is the new replacement for ctrl + alt + backspace ?? [14:55] kaddi: well I don't think it's a syntax issue, it just seems redundant. [14:56] !dontzap | edbian [14:56] edbian: 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. [14:56] edbian: you can enable it again. [14:56] ian_, right click preferences change to 12 hr does not work? [14:56] edbian: alt + SysRq + k [14:56] bazhang, I dont't have that option. [14:56] Pici Kjell ethanol thanks guys! [14:56] Has anyone had any experience with getting NVIDIA SLI 9800 GTs working with X? [14:57] ian_, this is gnome? xfce? kde? [14:57] edbian: if that does not work you need to use the Alt+Ctrl button [14:57] edbian, you could try Ctrl+Alt+F1 and kill off the problem app. if you know what it is [14:57] Why did they choose alt + sysRq + k ?? Seems very odd. [14:57] bazhang, im in xubuntu, xfce4 [14:57] ian_, ah let me do a check [14:57] jjnw: I don't actually need to write now. I was just asking for future reference. [14:57] edbian: not to mention quite hard to reach if you have small hands. [14:57] ): [14:57] edbian, ok [14:57] ethanol: Yeah. Is there any rhyme / reason? [14:58] ian_: the only way to do it would be to go to 'Custom', and type in the parameters there - unfortunately i don't know the parameters [14:58] hello all, i am having an interesting problem SSH'ing into my server. when i try to connect as root, i get this: http://pastebin.ca/1486901 any other user, however, connects fine. has anyone else experienced this problem? [14:58] edbian: no clue. [14:58] edbian Pici it doesn't work. :( I'm reading in another tutorial that I have to be an a cron.allow file, I don't have that file, do I need to create it maybe? [14:58] NVIDIA SLI 9800 GTs working with X? try a cheep trick....load gnome and set it up first [14:58] nameless_au, that's what i'm asking for. [14:58] mine works for my htpc [14:58] kaddi: Sorry but I don't know what your problem is? [14:59] jjnw: I pm you! [14:59] kaddi: You shoudln't have to do any setup on Ubuntu if you want to use cron to schedule jobs. [14:59] is anyone here using ubuntu server ? [14:59] edbian: he cannot get his cron job working. [14:59] ian_, right click in xfce should do it [14:59] my server is busted!! [14:59] lol [14:59] ::] [14:59] edbian: I want to get that crontab to execute chktmp every minute. I entered that line in crontab -e, but nothing is happening and I don't understand why [14:59] time for a newone [14:59] rjmoore: by the RIAA? [14:59] jay__: Many people are, just ask your question [14:59] huh?? [15:00] bazhang: it doesn't come up as 11:55 PM, it'll be 23:55 PM which is useless [15:00] kaddi: Maybe you have to restart the service [15:00] nevermind [15:00] im a bit confused setting up a mail server [15:00] how do I ping through a certain connection? [15:00] rjmoore, ive tried all installs of nvidia drivers.. none work. [15:00] edbian: chktmp works, it is a three liner: #!/bin/bash,date>>chktmplog, sensors>>cktmplog [15:00] rashed2020: ping -I interfacename [15:00] Thanks. [15:00] bazhang, xfce I don't get that??? [15:00] kaddi: Maybe you have to restart cron "sudo /etc/init.d/cron restart" [15:00] do you have a domain name and a static ip and a acurite mx record to point everything?? === zero is now known as Guest49837 [15:01] rashed2020: you can set a route to use a certain ip range through a certain device [15:01] edbian: thanks I'm gonna try :) [15:01] Pici: im a bit confused setting up a mail server [15:01] ian_, checking in #xubuntu now, hold on [15:01] intrepid xubuntu has this 12 hr option, when I upgraded to jaunty__it's not there [15:02] ActionParsnip: Nah, too complicated. I have ubuntu running in a VM and just wanted to know which one was the host only NIC. [15:02] edbian: it still doesnt work, the log is empty :/ === zero is now known as Guest52477 [15:02] Hey do we know if there has been any headway with the Samba issue in Jaunty? [15:02] kaddi: :( I don't have any experience with cron. When you restarted the service was there any errors? [15:03] Xpistos|work: chek the package updates [15:03] kaddi: It is likely that cron runs things as root. Try to run your script as root and see if it works correctly. [15:03] rashed2020: its a single command to add the route, not hard [15:03] edbian, kaddi: It will run as whoever crontab's was edited. [15:03] ian_, right click on clock=>properties=>uncheck use 24-hour clock try that [15:03] when I navigate to a certain directory and run the "ls" command, it takes 5 minutes (not even responding to SIGINT) then spits out three blank lines and one file name [15:04] erUSUL, hi again - just in case you ever need to know - I managed to find out how to wipe out *just* the whole device meta-data without wiping out the partition superblock metadata using the command "mdadm --zero-superblock - it works really well and doesn't corrupt the other stuff [15:04] Sapient: where are you trying to navigate? [15:05] Kjell, navigating there is not the problem... it's /opt/wwwUtils/ [15:05] Simple aptitude search is failing with "E: Regex compilation error: Invalid preceding regular expression". Googling this seems to indicate some sort of bug/incompatibility between apt and certain versions of ubuntu? [15:05] kaddi: I don't have any more ideas :(. Good luck! [15:05] I am using 8.04. [15:06] Sapient: Is it on another partition? [15:06] rski: sorry [15:06] Kjell: no, it does have a lot of files, though [15:06] Pici, edbian I found the error, nothing to do with cron. :s Sry. ... when I piped date >> chktmplog it didn't work, absolute path now does [15:06] Anyone else know if there has been any movement on Samba with Jaunty [15:06] bazhang, I don't have that option, but there is "custom" option w/c opens a box text something like -->> %R %p [15:06] i installed clamav on ubuntu thru package manger but clam av doesnt have a "shorcut" anywhere.i got the instructions to run it command line but i need a shortcut for it so the user of the computer can click and use [15:07] stevecoh1, not sure about this but you may need a backtick (`) and not a single quote (') [15:07] bytecode_: ok; thanks for informing us of your findings [15:07] hello all, i am having an interesting problem SSH'ing into my server. when i try to connect as root, i get this: http://pastebin.ca/1486901 any other user, however, connects fine. has anyone else experienced this problem? [15:07] Sapient: can you use the nautilus to view the files? [15:07] stronze, install clamtk(front end for clamav) [15:07] stronze, clamav is a terminal app, if you want a gui, install clamav-gtk ... do they have a partition for windows? [15:07] !root | DigitalKiwi [15:07] DigitalKiwi: 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 [15:07] ian_, not running xfce myself, there are folks around in #xubuntu , you may wish to troubleshoot this there [15:07] stronze: its running now and will every bootup. You can create a script to scan and put it in your menu using alacarte [15:08] !root | d1gital [15:08] d1gital: 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 [15:08] Kjell: not in a gui; I'm connected via ssh [15:08] d1gital: it might be in the default config that root wont be able to connect for security reason [15:08] stronze: it usually requires sudo to scan to eliminate access denied messages [15:08] hi [15:08] bazhang, how can I add #xubuntu on my irc? [15:08] has anyone set up a mail server in ubuntu before ? [15:08] Sapient: Then do you have permission to read those files? [15:08] I need help on how to reinstall ubuntu grub boot loader and assign window 7 for choosing [15:09] ian_, /join #xubuntu [15:09] jjnw: no that's not it [15:09] aptitude search `?installed` [15:09] bash: ?installed: command not found [15:09] http://tiny.cc/BNRHW stevecoh1 [15:09] ubuntunewbie: have a look at supergrubdisk [15:09] Kjell: yes... there's between 340,000 and 360,000 files; I I use "ls -l" it works for some reason [15:09] stronze, ian_ is right, its clamavtk [15:10] d1gital: if you are getting that bunch of text when you ssh, likely root's .bashrc or .profile has those offending commands. This probably isn't a good thing and may mean that the server was compromised. root ssh access should be disabled, and is disabled by default on Ubuntu installs. [15:10] moncky: hi moncky [15:10] moncky: I understand a bit at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1035999 [15:10] hallo zusammen [15:10] stevecoh1, sorry about this but could paste the cmd line again, I've lost it off top [15:10] bazhang, thanks for that.

[15:11] aptitude search `?installed` [15:11] Sapient: Well it does take some time to list all those files... [15:11] bash: ?installed: command not found [15:11] ok, this is annoying and gnome isn't being very friendly today, every time I open new windows in gnome, they don't show up on top? Why is that?? [15:11] stevecoh1, check the link I sent you [15:11] Sapient: you tried ls | more ? [15:11] many screenshots of Ubuntu show gadgets - would google gadgets be the most popular for Ubuntu users? [15:11] stevecoh1: if you use backticks then bash will interpret the contents of them as a command. [15:11] moncky: but the part I dont understand was how to edit grub for window 7 startup since I had another window xp installed [15:11] ubuntunewbie: you have both windows and ubuntu installed just now but cant get into ubuntu? [15:11] They are often below already opened windows. [15:11] Kjell: right... but it only lists 3 blank lines and then one file :p [15:11] can you install a windows based progam in ubuntu? [15:11] stevecoh1, no, the cmd line, not the output [15:11] Pici: .bashrc GAH should have thought of that. i don't really see how the server could have been compromised since it's behind a router and no one on the network seems to be able to figure out how to use the power button.. hmm.. i must have mucked with something =] [15:12] Sapient: yup those last lines [15:12] !wine |Cajunmg [15:12] Cajunmg, yes but it requires either WINE or a VM [15:12] Cajunmg: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [15:12] Cajunmg, using wine [15:12] moncky: no , btw how to paste the list ?

[15:12] Pici: wait, if it were the .bashrc, wouldn't the same commands be run if i log in locally? local login as root works fine. [15:12] !paste > ubuntunewbie [15:12] ubuntunewbie, please see my private message [15:12] ok, nevermind... third try was the charm apparently [15:12] jjnw: the command line is aptitude search `?installed` [15:12] I'm tryin to install mapsource [15:12] many screenshots of Ubuntu show gadgets - would google gadgets be the most popular for Ubuntu users? [15:13] Sapient: with ls only? [15:13] stevecoh1: dpkg -l | less [15:13] ubuntunewbie: back in a bit [15:13] Ryan1: depends whom you ask [15:13] yeah, it's working now so I can't reproduce it though. thanks anyway [15:13] Cajunmg, it may or not work, check the WINE database to see if it runs or not [15:13] ok tks [15:13] So I would take it that no one has heard anything about the problems Jaunty is having with Samba lately? Ok [15:13] d1gital: hmm, thats odd. It still may be possible though, I'd still check in both those files. [15:14] stevecoh1, just tried aptitude search '?installed' and it works fine (not backtick, my oops) [15:14] when I open new windows in gnome, they don't show up on top? Why is that?? They are often below other windows. [15:14] ActionParsnip: would screenlits be another option? [15:14] i feel like a retard,i cant find clamavrk [15:14] stronze, its clamtk [15:15] ah [15:15] Xpistos|work: The first link on Google that's returned by "jaunty samba issue" is the launchpad page which states the bug has been fixed, you're not trying very hard :P [15:15] stronze: retards don't use linux. :) [15:15] moncky: sorry be right back , will be back another 20 min or later sorry [15:15] Ryan1: yes they are another option. Try a few, see which you like [15:15] .bashrc looks fine, only contains a prompt, umask 022, and one alias i created.. and .bash_profile does not exist [15:15] stronze: so you must be a step above that [15:15] when I open new windows in gnome, they don't show up on top? Why is that?? They are often below other windows. [15:16] how? where? how to link? SUN java to work with Firefox 3.5.

[15:19] how do I know if I have Java Runtime Environment installed, and what version? [15:19] Pici: .bashrc is fine has nothing out-of-the-ordinary, and .bash_profile does not exist... i don't know where else the commands are coming from; since it looks like some kind of apt output [15:19] Ryan1: apt-cache policy sun-java6-jre [15:19] Ryan1: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml [15:20] Thanks!!

[15:28] How can I add an existing user to a group. I checked man useradd, adduser, groupadd, usermod. I don't manage to do it. What the heck? [15:28] vise: you can't be that advanced if you can't search for channels [15:28] Sapient: use a less in the loop and do it in chunks of say 200 [15:29] dudette: useradd -G groupname username [15:29] moncky: sorry ,back now [15:29] ikonia, Well i tried #linux in freenode and dalnet.. people don't respond there... and i already tried it here.. no one knows! i have no intention of bragging.. i just dont have any other option...

Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [15:29] Ryan1: it's a software package for redhat based systems [15:29] Hi. I am having problems finding a text/html decoder. I need the decoder to listen my favourite radio station on Rythmbox Music Player. Can anyone help?

[15:32] dudette: I think that would add that user to that group while retaining existing group membership [15:32] dudette: no, it will simply add the user to the group [15:32] alternatively I believe ubuntu comes with a graphical users / groups administration tool [15:33] hello, i'm installing the package 'vlc' but it's still 0.9.9a even though i've added "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/c-korn/vlc/ubuntu jaunty main" in my sources.list; does someone have an idea?

Journals require more read-write cycles. [17:16] y u r worried to that level? [17:16] negge: i think there's some filesystems that has been optimised for ssd/flash also but ext2 is a rock solid choise === xhema is now known as phurl [17:16] desiNerd: I never said I'm worried [17:16] but they do provide more options to extract data after a disk crash [17:16] I just want good performance and a decent filesystem [17:16] if you are "absolutely" sure that you will have "no" powercuts go for ext2 [17:16] Yes, there is also JFFS2.

[17:20] sebsebseb: are you referring to the bug which causes data loss when using ext4?

When booting it said it tried a bunch of fs, but it didn't mention XFS... [17:22] negge: sure and 2.6.30.1 is out even [17:22] conky is pretty simple thing...whats the issue installing ,,and y do you need to reinstall it in the first place? [17:22] k, then [17:22] ^cheeky: The sample conky config is installed in /etc/conky/conky.conf [17:22] sebsebseb: so you're saying, just to be on the safe side it would be better to manually install 2.6.30 instead of running the default Jaunty kernel? [17:23] <^cheeky> Pici, so i just change that then... thank you [17:23] there are many examples at conky's home page as well. also found some in ubuntuforums.org [17:23] @cheeky, just google for base conky rc files...you will get a hell of them [17:23] exia_: did you solve your apache problem? I stepped away for a bit [17:23] negge: no I am saying if needed, for example I think the file deletion data loss bug that some people get, can be fixed by the later kernel [17:23] okay [17:23] i pulled from ubuntuforums only,,they are well suited [17:23] negge: lock up bug [17:23] Guys, how do I restart a messed up tty when I 'cat' a wrong file without rebooting the computer?

[17:49] no [17:49] lol [17:49] Frunas, The first step however is to configure your router, log in to your router, enable wireless without security and configure SSID, once you have done that let me know [17:49] Bound: yeah, it's free [17:49] mhall119|work: it gave the same error again [17:49] it's not a keylogger though [17:49] by the way I don't have Internet access on it otherwise and the router is in such a position that I wouldn't even consider relocating it. ndiswrapper is installed and the drivers that came with it are included. lsusb shows the card and ndiswrapper says it has the right driver for the job, but when I check ndisgtk to see if all is well, it says that it cannot check the status of the wireless card x.x any thoughts?

[18:00] aresnick: you could try to change to another root and kill all processes accessing the old root (pivot_root, chroot). i don't know, how it works exactly. if you want to change something with the root file system, using a boot cd is normally simpler [18:00] defib: I'm not sure [18:00] hello guys, i was wondering if there is a way to run the screen resolution prog from like alt-f2?

I had to use it on the live cd.. At the first screen seen on the live cd boot you can F6 to insert options. As most say erase splash and quiet from the kernel line but that's only so you can see errors during the remaining boot process.. You can add pci=nomsi to the end of the kernel line like I had to.. It may work for you.. it may not.. If it does after install you'll hav [20:23] Well that is bad. How do you want do make a symlink, if you can't check the exact mount point of your device?

[20:28] Aijse: I just tried assigning Amarok's global Play/Pause to Ctrl+Enter, just to make sure it works, and that function does work... [20:28] Pici, you sure? [20:28] http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html [20:29] 1.0 came out [20:29] Mm, okay. Thanks anyway.

[20:30] Andorun, something like media play? [20:30] Cybertinus: The problem persists. If you don't have the hardware next to you, who would you know the exact mountpoint. For example, there are wifi-sticks that are mounted as wlan0, other would mount as eth0 or eth1... [20:30] Aijse: Yes. [20:30] roffe: ehmm, i use iceweasel that is the variant of firefox used by debian. its based on ff 3.0 and has many bugs [20:30] Andorin, tried to relaunch Amarok [20:31] exit [20:31] Cybertinus: Do you know, that that your controller is recognised properly by ubuntu? [20:31] Anyone know how to restore back option booting with ubuntu , window xp and window 7 beta ? [20:31] draginx Pici: yeah the usual PPA thing, because Ubuntu/Canonical won't just provide updates for major new versions of packages, since the security updates only in repos thing [20:31] Aijse: Did it, still doesn't work.

After loding that ubuntu distro from your harddisk, you do a grub update. That will normally give you your Win7 partition back, as it checks for all available OS [20:40] l1m5: ah.. you have to set the number of desktops in compiz too.. seperate process. === Uncle|Sam is now known as uncle|sam [20:40] how do i view my battery health information?

[20:48] ty sebsebseb [20:48] scunizi got a few things I would write up [20:48] Ex2: yes but on linux vnc port numbers correspond to virtual displays [20:48] th3seaw0lf: Murder a firefox developer [20:48] 人呢？ [20:48] lol, that wont help [20:48] th3seaw0lf: something about:config [20:48] :P [20:48] nathan7: Thats uncalled for [20:48] th3seaw0lf, did you restart the network? [20:48] Pici: 0= [20:48] scunizi: i think i found the problem http://pastebin.ca/1487260 [20:48] no [20:48] JoeM: It's unusual stuff like this that is really helpful on the forums.. after you do it make sure you lable the post as solved if possible. [20:48] ummm can you exsplane that better mrcraig [20:49] th3seaw0lf, you need to restart the network to have it take effect [20:49] the site is on the network n works fine when i try it with IE on windows [20:49] it isnt on my computer or anything [20:49] th3seaw0lf: Is your resolver configured to look in the LAN before going to the web ? [20:49] scunizi: mainly lines 7-24 [20:49] no [20:49] how do i do that? [20:50] th3seaw0lf: Modify /etc/hosts. [20:50] scunizi now to finish copying over about 1TB of data from the old hardware... [20:50] th3seaw0lf, add a line to /etc/hosts where the ip address of the server is first and then masti ie 192.168.0.100 masti [20:50] AceBlade159: that certainly seems to point to it. I'd post the question to launchpad questions and see what response you get.. from there it can be moved to a "bug" status.. or just file a bug. [20:50] JoeM: do it from cli .. don't use nautilus.. [20:50] scunizi: alright thanks [20:50] AceBlade159: good luck! [20:50] Halitech : i dont know the IP adress of the server. [20:50] vnc port numbers start at either 5800 or 5900 (don't remember which) on windows implementations typically you omit the port number and connect to whatever screen (user login) is active. Under linux that same port number refers to a virtual display number 0 - so 5800=display 0 5801=display1 and so on... under the same user account you can vnc to the machine several times and each client see's a different display. Depend [20:50] ing on how it's configured you might not be controlling the same display as a user sat at the screen as you would in windows. [20:51] th3seaw0lf: then do an nslookup on a windows machine [20:51] how can i completely remove all postfix and dovecot files from my system? [20:52] I updated the Kernel to have PAE.. now when I go into the terminal the prompt is: I Have No Name!@ubuntu1:-$ how do I change "I Have No Name!" [20:52] ok that information was good, however I have a file containing md5 hashes created using md5sum <> >> <> and now I need to check the same file using the created hash located in <> [20:53] th3seaw0lf, is it on your network? [20:53] red-lichtie yeah [20:54] how can i completely remove all postfix and dovecot files from my system? [20:54] th3seaw0lf: then add that address + name to /etc/hosts [20:54] wow that sounds complicated to me but i will give it a go thanks mrcraig === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam [20:54] Halitech: the website is on the network, but firefox looks on the internet [20:54] <---newbie [20:55] is anyone able to ping this IP 62.149.158.91 ? [20:55] i cant add it to etc/hosts/ because i dont know the ip of the server the website is on [20:55] th3seaw0lf, and when you modify your hosts file it will check that first and see that it is supposed to look internally and open the server and not take you to masti.com [20:55] i just know the short URL [20:55] np - in my experience it seemed complicated to setup at first but after a few googles and messing in config files I got it how I wanted it. You may have to read around some but I'm sure you'll have no problem getting where you need to be [20:55] Hi. Where can I find a text/html decoder? [20:55] th3seaw0lf, do you have physical access to the server? [20:55] no i dont [20:55] one of my users is trying to access it, and we can't seem to get thru [20:55] yeah thanks again am already reading got to love google [20:55] google's the king :) [20:56] except for resolving my printer issue! [20:56] this is the URL www.webmaildomini.aruba.it [20:56] th3seaw0lf: Windows machine -> open cmd window -> enter "nslookup masti" -> add the resulting address to your /etc/hosts [20:56] th3seaw0lf, can you ask the admin of the network what the IP address is? [20:57] yeah, ok [20:57] i'll try that [20:57] thanks [20:57] has anyone tried out chrome on ubuntu yet ? [20:58] mrcraig any sugestions on what vnc to get that would be for a simple minded person like me [20:59] btw, how do I configure resolver to look in the LAN before going to the web? [21:00] Ex2, controlling windows machines on the network or Ubuntu machines or both? [21:00] both Halitech [21:00] any commands to click on a terminal and the object clicked opens there with required application [21:00] Ex2 - to be honest I don't really remember the version I used on my server - as far as I know they're all pretty much the same - for client side UltraVNC has some nice features such as file transfer [21:00] Ex2, was going to say, if looking to control just windows boxes, look into Log Me In [21:01] LogMeIn is a nice tool too :-) [21:01] Ex2, tightvnc has worked for me in the past [21:01] ithanks everyone [21:01] someone can help my with my wireless card usb (chip ralink rt73)? [21:01] MrCraig, too bad its windows only at this point :( [21:02] Halitech: Actually, the developers (from what I hear) are working on a Linux port of it [21:02] Halitech, is it windows only server side?

[21:03] anyone happened across zolved? :-) [21:03] MrCraig, I think there is a Mac version now as well but can use any browser to control it on any OS [21:03] heloo [21:03] user1_, you may look into gnome-do. it doesn't give you the ability to click on the terminal but it does give you a quick short to all apps [21:03] that's one we use at work - similar to logmein but it doesn't leave your system open to be logged into again as you have to share a key to log in each time - makes it ideal for support desks === muse1 is now known as muse [21:04] wanted to ask , the Safely remove hardware in window xp , is same with ubuntu unmount.But why my external hard disk light doesn't shut down ?

[21:36] Ryan1: try apt-get install then [21:36] oooh [21:36] kk [21:36] find a diff driver [21:36] anyone has idea about how to write and read minidisc's? here what i get on dmesg and lsusb http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/212244/ [21:36] peterkirn, you need to reinstall the nvidia drivers for the current kernel [21:36] * Evil_Eric remembers he need apt-get update lol [21:36] bastidrazor: OMMG haha. it said "Room Number". i misread it lol. its just asking for stupid pim stuff lol [21:36] domina: Err. Run the terminal. [21:37] k [21:37] ok I have a box with three pata drives, two hooked on IDE controller cables and one hooked on a sata card controller that has an IDE interface, I have downloaded the alternate install disc and need to use lvm to spread /home across more than one drive, all I see is guided partitioning options with lvm on the disc [21:37] ARR_: tried checking your layout in nvidia x server settings? it sounds like it might be an overlapping set of windows. [21:37] cube_, right you can leave all that blank. username and passwd are the only important things [21:37] domina: "aptitude search flash" --> You see flashplugin-nonfree? All appearing 'p' on the left column? [21:38] ctmjr: yes, definitely -- but I did install the rt kernel first, then the nvidia drivers - and while booted into the rt instance. Is there an easy way to tell which nvidia headers got built? Is there a reason the graphical tool perhaps didn't actually build the drivers for rt? [21:38] which really doesnt cut it [21:38] peterkirn, I am able to grab a window of a program and drag it seamlessly between screens, even when I "have ahold" of the window I am dragging, the mouse pointer goes away, but the program window still drags seamlessly between screens [21:38] yes, but there are two i on the left column as well [21:38] domina: What packages? [21:38] bastidrazor: ok, just fyi: before the login screen appears, is says: Could not load theme tango gdm [21:39] ARR_: oh, I see, the mouse cursor isn't updating on the second screen. What version nvidia driver? [21:39] Ryan1: what error it gives u when u follow the sun instructions? [21:39] hello, i want to resize /dev/sda3, where i installed ubuntu, but it's way too small. how do i resize/move this with gparted (it seems to be locked now) thanks [21:39] tim167: Do it on LiveCD. [21:39] peterkirn, 185.18.14 [21:39] bastidrazor: im giving up. gonna boot to windows i think [21:39] tim167: You can't resize the partition you're currently on. Use LiveCD to resize your partition. [21:39] mobi-sheep: i am already on live cd, then what do i do to unlock it ? [21:40] hi. I just lost all sound. Speakers are fine, all sound modules are loaded. Tried "sudo killall pulseaudio && sudo alsa force-reload" to no avail. Nothing obvious in logs.. anything more I can do? [21:40] ARR_: the experience I've heard so far is that 185.18.14 is causing issues for some people. Of course, rolling back is no fun at all, I know. [21:41] bastidrazor: for my other ubuntu computer, i'm looking for a pack (via synaptic) of mono fonts for my console. any suggestions? [21:41] peterkirn, I upgraded to try and resolve this problem =) [21:41] darrend: tried simply rebooting? [21:41] cube_: trying to avoid it :) 3 people logged in, lots of stuff open. [21:41] domina: Try "sudo aptitude purge flashplugin-installer flashplugin-nonfree" then "sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree" [21:41] darrend: gotcha gotcha :) [21:42] n0gear: there is no error [21:42] darrend: and you ABSOLUTELY sure the speakers are working (on and so on :P)?? [21:42] n0gear: when I type java -v - it says it's not installed [21:42] how do i resize/move /dev/sda3 (ubuntu partition, but although i am in live cd now i can't resize /dev/sda3 with gparted) [21:42] cube_: yep - plugged them into my portable - they're fine [21:42] darrend: gotcha. hmm [21:43] you restarted browser? and tried http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp [21:43] anf verify [21:44] cube_: also checked alsamixer (nothing muted) normal volume controls in gnome (seem ok) [21:44] tim167: Try mess around with /dev/sda3. If you're on LiveCD, you should be able to resize unless you're using something complicated (ie, LVM, encryption setup, etc). [21:44] guess it could be hardware.. [21:44] darrend: doublecheck the gnomeones. plus doublecheck application ones [21:44] (e.g. banshee aso.) [21:44] why does camorama have an error with my webcam, when mplayer works fine? [21:44] Okay, after I do "iwconfig wlan0 essid blah", how do I get it to actually associate? [21:45] darrend: you think something broke in the hardware? [21:45] cube_: yes, have done a few times. Also tried playing a .wav file with aplay.. no dice [21:45] cube_: dunno. [21:45] Cuz I set the essid, but it still says "AP: Not associated". [21:45] cube_: i's onboard nvidia chipset I think [21:45] mobi-sheep: i installed as second os on a windows xp machine, now i want to make the ubuntu part larger. i already was able to resize the windows partition, but ubuntu partition doesnt give me 'resize/move' option... [21:45] cube_: not a dedicated sound card [21:45] darrend: crap :) [21:45] How I do to run fsck in one NTFS partion? [21:46] Galaxor_, dhclient wlan0 [21:46] Galaxor_, or dhcpcd [21:46] Of course, if I turn on xorg, then it starts the network-manager applet and automatically connects everything for me. But if I want to use wireless without the gui running, I can't do it. [21:46] macafe fsck parition i think [21:46] ahadiel: But the card still isn't associated with the access point. It never gets a response. [21:46] darrend: gosh i feel like you're stuck with having to reboot :/ and you even never know if thats gonna work [21:46] omg! [21:46] the printer! [21:46] it's printing something! [21:46] Galaxor_, dhclient/dhcpcd does the association. [21:46] MrCraig: hahahaha :D [21:46] Ryan1: Yes bro use the address i gave u and dload the *hit from JavaTM and you'll be ok [21:47] darrend: Try "sudo alsactl init" [21:47] i have a problem that seems like this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/253321, and some guy there found a workaround. can someone tell me how i can try that workaround? [21:47] cube_: looks like it. I'll prb try later and watch the dmesg on restart. [21:47] MrCraig: typical linux moment :) [21:47] what it printed was garbage, and it's still comming - but something is comming out :) [21:47] mobi-sheep: there is a keychain icon to the left of /dev/sda3 in gparted, does that mean it's locked ? how do i unlock it ? [21:47] darrend: yeah :( sry couldnt help you more lol [21:47] How I do to run fsck in one NTFS partition? [21:47] cube_: np [21:47] mobi-sheep: done, now what? [21:47] mobi-sheep: Cool!! that fixed it :D [21:47] darrend: :3 [21:47] MrCraig: lol you craxx me up :) [21:47] mobi-sheep: thanks. [21:47] darrend: Welcome. [21:48] Galaxor_, If you want something that connects without starting the gui, try wicd. [21:48] lol thanks, I think now maybe I need to fix a driver issue - but I'm at last convinced that some signal is getting from my laptop to the machine - that gives me hope :) we all need hope :) [21:48] ahadiel: I'll check it out. [21:48] mobi-sheep: any idea what may cause it to become un-init'ed (I hate not knowing these things) [21:48] hey is there any way to speed up the progress bar animation??? [21:48] mobi-sheep: also i have this situation: /dev/sda3 contains /dev/sda5 and /dev/sda6, where sda5 and sda6 are the actual ext3 and swap partitions ubuntu is on [21:48] hi, some workaround says: at BusyBox prompt: execute blablabla. but how can i do that? [21:49] Galaxor_, Once you configure an initial AP from the gui, everytime the wicd daemon starts, it tries to connect. [21:49] mobi-sheep: i can resize sda5 and 6 but not the sda [21:49] darrend: Possibly a bug where shutting down would reset it back to mute default. Generally when you install alsa, it's muted by default. Look at "alsamixer" and you'll see some changes (etc default state). [21:49] evolution stores all settings in ~/.evolution right? [21:49] mobi-sheep: ...sda3 they are inside of [21:49] tim167: I'm not sure how, I could try Google. I never had to resize my partition. I'll look for it. [21:49] Hey does anyone have a clue if there's a parameter i can change that controls the speed of the progress bar animation? [21:50] is there an ubuntu 9.04-1 i can download anywhere? [21:50] mobi-sheep: hmm.. I already checked alsamixer before. I'll take a closer look. Thanks again. [21:50] a gtk engine variable somewhere maybe? [21:50] darrend: Take a look now. [21:50] darrend: Because it changed few things in alsamixer. [21:50] mobi-sheep: yes, some levels have changed. But nothing unmuted that wasn't muted when I checked earlier [21:51] mobi-sheep: I even upped everything I could in there before [21:51] macafe_: http://www.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=ntfsck looks discouraging [21:51] m0u5e, 9.04-1? [21:51] hi, how can i execute a command during busybox? [21:51] hi [21:51] cao [21:52] darrend: Either way, your sound works now and you shouldn't face any errors too. [21:52] damagednoob: isn't it a more up to date build of jaunty? [21:52] mobi-sheep: yep. :) [21:52] tim167: You use LVM (and/or) Encryption? [21:52] m0u5e, you could use the netinstall [21:52] mm where would i find the ubuntu jaunty netinstall? [21:53] why would camorama show an error for /dev/video0 when mplayer works fine? [21:53] mikael79_, use cheese [21:53] MikeChelen: cheese is awesome [21:53] oops, MikeChelen, use cheese [21:53] cheese? [21:53] cheese isn't working either [21:53] mobi-sheep: the video still doesn't play right...it just freezes at the beginning and the audio keeps playing..and I even let it fully load first [21:53] anyone here knows how to configure exim with php ? [21:53] Jigglypuff87, it's like camorama but it actually works [21:54] sejraaaa... [21:54] Hi! I know I need to make space on a partition, but it's not clear which one. Here are the error message and the output of df -h--any help or pointers would be appreciated. http://gist.github.com/142363 [21:54] I am trying to look at this canon powershot A520. I'm not sure if my problems are with ubuntu or with the camera, but it's not showng up in my USB devices when I plug t in. [21:54] domina: Firefox? [21:54] m0u5e, DPic cheese shows only static [21:54] mobi-sheep: I use firefox yes [21:54] dcbfdbgfn [21:54] m0u5e, I swear I saw one on cdimages.ubuntu.com [21:54] I'm installing Ubuntu from CD, it was at 30% (Copying Files) and the screen faded. The computer is still on, but it slowly faded away. What happened? [21:54] maybe not :/ [21:54] tim167: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/larry/resize/resizing.htm ? [21:54] hi, i've lost the network manager from the panel [21:54] Do I have to turn the camera on, turn it off, what? [21:54] mobi-sheep: my bad, found out i had to right-click on swap partition and do 'unswap', that unlocks the partitions, thanks ! [21:54] BLUETOOTH If i get a bluetooth ear set can i put up sound threw the computer on it? thanks [21:55] try Xubuntu.. [21:55] mobi-sheep: i mean 'swapoff' [21:55] billisnice, yes, the setup is still a little tricky though [21:55] MikeChelen, hit alt+f2 and type gstreamer-properties [21:55] i'm having problems with my wireless card in ubuntu. how can i diagnose the problem? [21:55] tim167: Heh. It was PEBKAC then. :o [21:55] vyhodit z okna... [21:55] xubuntu is awesome. [21:55] MikeChelen, then go to video and test the default input [21:55] DPic, does cheese use gstreamer? [21:55] cabrey, yes [21:55] DPic, hm nice to know [21:55] m0u5e, i would have thought if you wanted the latest stuff you'd need 9.10 alpha 2 [21:56] ok - After setting the device uri to "file:///dev/usblp0" - woohoo, page with one line of garbage followed by the printer self test, happens with all four of the driver ppd files for this printer, surely someone can help me over the last hurdle? [21:56] Nevermind, screen came back [21:56] mobi-sheep: well more or less, yes :) [21:56] okay ive set up my vnc to comtrol 2 windows boxes from my linux box but i want to also control my linux box from my windows box but the server set up looks complicated to me [21:56] or just update 9.04 to get the latest updates for jaunty [21:56] jaunty jackalope 4ever.. [21:56] hello [21:56] yay!! [21:56] hi, i've lost the network manager from the panel [21:57] when google chromium will be ready for jaunty? [21:57] any clue? [21:57] can i get it back? [21:57] domina: Terminal --> uname -m --> It say i686 or x86_64? I only want to confirm. [21:57] What might cause DKMS to fail with nvidia-glx on 9.04? It appears some people are successfully installing nvidia-glx and I was able to do it in the order (1) linux-rt + linux-rt-headers (for my 2.6.28-3-rt) (2) installing from the repository via the graphical tool. Is there a way to manually install the proper nvidia-glx headers? [21:57] ubuntistas, ready when it's ready, but it is usable now [21:57] i just did what I always said I wouldn't do: I installed jaunty [21:57] ubuntistas: If Google want to make one for linux. [21:57] cabrey when exactly? [21:57] mobi-sheep: i686 [21:57] DPic, v4l shows "could not read from resource" and v4l2 "could not negotiate format" [21:57] anyone using compiz/beryl on Thinkpad T30? [21:58] ubuntistas, I said it'll be ready *when* it's ready [21:58] hey watch your mouth [21:58] I already have several problems with the damn thing: it doesn't seem to recognize my mouse, it works pretty slowly etc [21:58] what can I do regarding the mouse? [21:58] ubuntistas, ... [21:58] i guess nobody knows... [21:58] ubuntistas: Chromium is built daily -- You can use it for experiment. However, Google Chrome are built *on* Chromium. [21:59] ubuntistas: https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa [21:59] ........ there is no words to describe your behaviour unacceptable [21:59] brb [21:59] ok sheep thx [21:59] MikeChelen, sorry, i'm not sure what you can do...try googling "ubuntu [webcam model]" [21:59] can someone please tell me what i can be if my ubuntu 8.04 gives me error when triing to run backuppc ???the error says nt status access denied ...think its something with samba but im not sure any help will be apreciated [21:59] ubuntistas, I'm sorry, what?

I tried gtk-recordmydesktop but it practically freezes my computer when it is open. [22:00] what is space delimited for IFS= ?? [22:01] MikeChelen, mplayer doesn't use the gstreamer framework. what's strange is that mplayer works and gstreamer doesn't. [22:01] hi, i've lost the network manager from the panel. can i get it back? [22:01] Monkier, istanbul [22:01] mobi-sheep: errrmmm....you sent that link already? no? [22:01] hey does anyone know the status of .flac files in rhythmbox [22:01] hi i'm having problems with my wireless card in ubuntu. how can i diagnose the problem? [22:01] Monkier, if you dont have that great of hardware, not much else we can suggest :/ [22:01] No the hardware is fine [22:01] Monkier, istanbul uses gstramer, but it probably won't be any faster on old hardware [22:02] ive got a q6600 and a radeon 4800 series card [22:02] can someone please tell me what i can be if my ubuntu 8.04 gives me error when triing to run backuppc ???the error says nt status access denied ...think its something with samba but im not sure any help will be apreciated [22:02] Monkier, hey i have a q66oo too =] try istanbul [22:02] yeah, tried istanbul, but it wont even launch [22:03] Monkier, that's strange...are there any other abnormalities with your machine? [22:03] Monkier, hmm that is plenty of hardware [22:03] Not as far as I can tell [22:03] I'm trying to configure saned. I'm getting "Device Busy" errors, but when I run saned as root (instead of as saned) it works. What permissions do I need to give the saned user to work? [22:03] Compiz works fine, so does firefox, everything is okay otherwise [22:03] can I cap my down en upload speeds? [22:04] Monkier, try turning off compiz? although perhaps that's what you wanted to record... [22:04] DPic, ok ill search more, it is capture card WinTV PCR-150 [22:04] Well, not primarily, but it would be nice to be able to record it, I'm making videos for youtube [22:05] cellofellow: I have the same issue on a Brother all in one.. I talked with them extensively as they were very helpful but still couldn't solve the problem.. the last suggestion was to do a fresh install of the os and try again :( [22:05] does anyone know what plugin is needed to play .flac in rhythmbox [22:05] scunizi: found something involving udev. [22:05] Monkier, try istanbul without compiz as a test. they shouldn't conflict, but compiz is weird [22:05] wrektjet, have you tried searching "flac" in synaptic? [22:05] cellofellow: praytell.. please enlighten me.. [22:06] scunizi: /etc/udev/rules.d/45-libsane.rules [22:06] scunizi: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=222490 [22:06] gonna try this [22:06] MikeChelen, when you got the gstreamer error, was anything else (mplayer) open using the device? [22:06] cellofellow: k [22:06] ooh, file doesn't exist. hmmm [22:06] time to grep [22:06] Can someone help me with an install problem? I'm trying to install Ubuntu 9.04 along side XP. When I got to the part where I had to add my name and password it hung up. I tried to reinstall, but it asked me to repartition. How do I get it to install on the partition originally set for Ubuntu? [22:07] nothing [22:07] ace_, choose manual partitioning [22:07] cellofellow: is your's usb or networked? [22:07] i'm trying to run xubuntu on a old iBook and the resolution is wrong. How can i set it manually? [22:07] Apollo2366, yea but there aere tons [22:07] DPic: Ok, and I will be able to choose that partition?

Can't scan unless saned is running as root on the server, which isn't optimal. [22:08] Does not look like compiz is the problem. Disabled it, and still unable to launch istanbul [22:08] Kalmi, i tried editing xorg but it didn't work [22:08] cellofellow: interesting.. mine is ethernet connected. [22:08] DPic: Thank you!! [22:08] I'll try reinstalling the graphics drivers [22:08] MikeChelen, sorry, i'm just guessing at this point. [22:08] wrektjet, try searching rythmbox then, I'd say that'd give you a smaller list [22:08] Hey you guys what's up [22:08] if I can get this working it'll be terrific.

[22:09] DPic, thats okay, thanks for the tips, gives me something more to go on :) [22:09] Monkier, i'm really sorry, i don't know what the problem is [22:09] cellofellow: libsane.rules doesn't exist on my system. [22:09] not mine either [22:10] that's an old tut, for dapper or edgy [22:10] DPic: do I choose Primary or Logical? Beginning or End? and do I need to set a mount point?

[22:11] eclipse_: or I'm reading that wrong.. fingured.. sorry 'bout that :) [22:11] !wubi | snailshell, [22:11] snailshell,: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [22:11] scunizi: no problem [22:12] ok, I have installed Ubuntu 9.04, THEN installed Kubuntu 9.04, THEN!! installed another Linux Distro. I now have three distros installed and all on my grub file. THe problem is what grub file? I am assuming it is my Ubuntu install because that is on /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda1 is set as boot. Is this correct? [22:12] ace_, i just sent you a private message [22:12] CleanLaundry: It will be the latest installation. [22:12] CleanLaundry: So for example, if you installed kubuntu last, it will be on kubuntu [22:12] (kubuntu's partition I mean) [22:12] DPic, now it is working in VLC using PVR mode [22:12] any security issues running saned as root? [22:13] coleys, I see [22:13] cellofellow: there is a /etc/sane.d/saned.conf [22:13] coleys, Ok sounds fair enough, I want to add passwords and remove some options on grub, so I guess I have to take a look at the latest's distro grub file [22:14] Thanks, ubottu, will do. I've attempted to install ubuntu through the Wubi installer in Windows XP Pro. All systems appear to be go and then it informs me that I need to reset, I do so. I have an uninstalled version of the beta of vista on my second hard drive, it's no longer installed but the boot option for vista still appears. So when I boot I have the options: 1. Windows Vista 2. Earlier version of Windows (the one i use [22:14] , xp pro) and 3. Ubuntu. If I attempt to boot from Ubuntu directly from this screen I am given an error that "Windows has failed to boot", the same error I get when I try to boot vista. (they are on the same hard drive as well which makes it suspicious). If I click "earlier version of windows" in that screen I have two options now, 1. Windows XP Pro and 2. Ubuntu. If I try to boot ubuntu from this location I am told that "gl [22:14] dr" cannot be found on all drives. I looked online to fix this and the only solution I saw was to manually place GLDR, however in all of those forum posts, the person troubleshooting tried this and it failed. (these are the official ubuntu forums I can link if requested). Does anyone have any advice, I am pressed to get this installed quickly by my job. [22:14] snailshell: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:14] CleanLaundry: You can mount that specific distro while booted in the current one.

I should have thought to [22:14] scunizi: that's just for putting in allowed hosts [22:14] MikeChelen, try gstreamer-properties again and see if there are other options for your default video input [22:14] coleys, yes I will do that.

I have qmail setup as my mail server on a virtual domain setup, I would like to know if any webmail application integrates nicely with this setup, thanks [22:27] hi i'm having problems with my wireless card in ubuntu. how can i diagnose the problem? [22:27] SnakDoc, did you install libdvdcss2? [22:28] dabukalam, what is your problem? [22:28] coz_ yea just did to get a dvd to play [22:28] SnakDoc, mm I still think that with libdvdcss2 as well as mplayer most of the copy protection should be [22:28] SnakDoc, bipassed [22:28] SnakDoc, it [22:28] darn [22:28] Hiya folks. [22:28] hiho [22:29] SnakDoc, it may be beneficial to google ubuntu bypass dvd protection [22:29] coz_ ok sounds good to me [22:29] Silly question, perhaps, but... I have a system with 5 regular HDs.. [22:30] problemas na instalação do webcam lg, alguém pode ajudar? [22:30] Oops, ok, back. [22:30] So, a system with 5 regulard HDs, and 1 SSD. I've got the 5HDs in a RAID array (software), and the SSD is separate. [22:30] jjnw: it doesn't detect a card [22:31] coz_ seems to be doing what i want thanks didn't think one lib could do it :) [22:31] During the installation of 8.04, everything works fine. During 9.04's installation, in partitioning, it shows the RAID with LVM on top, but does NOT show the SSD at all. [22:31] SnakDoc, cool [22:31] dabukalam, have you tried google, the ubuntu wiki, and the ubuntu forums? [22:31] What could cause this? (*yes, my problem is with 9.04; it wasn't a mistype_) [22:31] dpic: yup [22:32] ok I deleted my /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf accidentally by renaming my own file called blacklist to blacklist.conf like this "sudo mv /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf", I suppose the original blacklist.conf is needed for something so can I get it back somehow or generate a default one somehow [22:32] network problem [22:32] dabukalam, can you see anything about the card if you use the command dmesg [22:32] dabukalam, and you couldn't find any information on your card? [22:33] I say, would anyone know who I need to contact to find out why I'm banned from #ubuntu-offtopic?

I am given an error that says GLDR could not be found on all drives or one that says "windows failed to boot" when depending on where in the boot menu i attempt to boot with Ubuntu. I am given no errors during the actual install process using Wubi. [22:45] Is there any sort of loading screen on the 9.04 Live CD? I'm trying to figure out if I have bad disc or not since I can't check the hashes right now. [22:46] who can help me with installing Java from www.java.com? [22:46] jjnw: It's an Intel Wireless 2200 [22:47] olá pessoal [22:47] jjnw: i need it [22:47] xkkc, there should be an option to check disk for defects on the boot menu of the cd [22:47] dabukalam, I think you need the ipw2200 driver [22:47] minimec: iwconfig gives me lo, eth0, wmaster0, wlan0, pan0, wlan1. I'm using wlan1 now, and wlan0 is the integrated card, but it doesn't work [22:48] jjnw: but not as a service and its starting but not listed in the gnome service list [22:48] jjnw: i have that driver but i can't install it [22:48] jjnw: i get stuck at sudo make [22:48] jjnw: the gnome service tool is usless if it doesnt even list all the services [22:48] dabukalam, you should not need to install from source. Let me check [22:48] jjnw: whats the point [22:49] dabukalam: But that means, that the card is recognised by your system. There only seems to be a simple configuration error. That's rather good news ;) [22:49] jasonmchristos, not all software is perfect. See Windows BSOD :-) [22:49] minimec: thanks, my fingers ar crossed :) [22:49] *are [22:50] jjnw: well how do i disable the tor service since its not listed [22:50] jasonmchristos, killall tor ? [22:51] jasonmchristos, as I've not used tor in a long while, I can't be certain. You could look in /etc/init.d/ and see if there is a tor script [22:51] Halitech: i want it stopped perm not just this boot [22:51] jasonmchristos, then chmod -x the file [22:51] Does anybody know why aptitude and apt seem to ignore a proxy specified in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ ? [22:51] kuka hajotti hesassa just mun auton takalasin?!?!?! perk [22:51] jasonmchristos, if you want it disabled permanently why just uninstall it? [22:52] Hey are there any other ubuntu irc help channels which i can utilize for my issues with a wubi installation? I don't think anyone here is able to help me [22:53] snailshell: whats the problem? [22:53] jjnw: any luck?

[22:56] @jjnw okay so what's the problem? [22:56] only in the world of linux could anyone claim to have "downgraded the foomatic filters" and not be considered a lousy mechanic trying to fool over someone who he thinks knows nothing about engines. [22:56] dabukalam: That all looks good. The card is working I think. I would verify that the network-manager uses the right card. [22:56] dabukalam, as someone said earlier, what do you see from iwconfig [22:57] @jjnw i get wlan0 and wlan1 [22:57] i think u are banned because of ur name lol [22:57] jjnw: among other things [22:57] wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"" [22:57] Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated [22:57] Tx-Power=0 dBm [22:57] Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2352 B [22:57] Power Management:off [22:57] dabukalam: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[22:59] dabossbv, I would as it's the standard for ubuntu [22:59] jjnw: It sucks =) [22:59] minimec: i did. when i use wlan1 it works (hence this conversation), but wlan0 doesn't [23:00] coleys, then you explain howto for wicd!

[23:01] chris8: grr ehh..? xx [23:02] when I try to install ubuntu the installation process stops 80% of the way through [23:02] Irishmanluke: Did you md5sum your download, and verify its integrity?

[23:06] co leys: tried multiple cds both 8.04 and 9.04 plus the cd worked on my laptop [23:06] scunizi: should I set bios to wait 10 seconds to post?

I'm not really sure what will fix it.. [23:07] dabukalam: You can try to define the order during the boot process. The file to modify would be /etc/modules. You need to know the dirver of both cards.

Check you can see the card before you remove the old one [23:10] Coleys: thanks bud! take it easy! [23:10] Irishmanluke: Is your harddrive damaged? [23:11] Irishmanluke: Or partition, by chance.

Its Laserjet 4 [23:14] dabukalam, network manager has it's limitations and one of them seems to be problems with multiple cards.

[23:26] sysRPL, and you installed the firefox-3.5 package, right? [23:26] JohnTeddy: no idea.. I haven't done it.. [23:26] the installation process always stops right at 79% (creating user) [23:26] where do i add it any where or after a certain line didi2002 [23:26] Kalmi: Will I have multiple firefox icons? [23:26] hi all, anyone interested in helping me iron out some ATI driver issues ?? A couple of things are happening. First, after installing the Ubuntu ATI driver from the repos, the boot process has slowed to a crawl and cpu usage maxes out. The other more problematic issue is that picking "System-Preferences-Display," it never fully comes up and my cpu/x.org maxes, the system becomes pretty unresponsive, though it eventually does [23:26] and it (x.org) never releases the cpu, thus leaving the computer running at full tilt until I shut down. here's my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/212286/ thanks in advance. [23:27] Irishmanluke: you did give the installer a user name and password in the beginning of the process right?.. something other than "blank" or 2 characters? [23:27] skillz there should be a line "# swap was on /dev/sdb during installation", just replace the line under this line [23:27] no... after installing 3.5, all your fx icons will still point to fx 3.0... [23:27] scunizi: yeah [23:28] Kalmi, i used the auto updater [23:28] jjnw: i disconnected the other card, and didn't get anything, it just said "wireless networks". Now i've reconnected it, I get it. here's an image: http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/1538/screenshotprg.png [23:28] Kalmi, and yes, it installed the firefox-3.5 pakage [23:28] Hmm.. the updater disent updeate firefox3-5 here. [23:28] replaced @ didi2002 [23:28] JohnTeddy, you'll have firefox3.0 icon and the firefox3.5 icons.. [23:29] bastidrazor, are you sure? [23:29] Kalmi, and now when i try to go full screen with a flash video, firefox-3.5 crashes and i get those two errors [23:29] dabukalam: So you are happy now? [23:29] that's it, save and you're good [23:29] ....i removed the line that was there and put that one instead [23:29] Kalmi, yes, i just installed 3.5 and have 3.0 also [23:29] tristanmike: which ati card? model number? [23:29] ok you could try to hibernate now [23:30] Kalmi, 3.5 is not considered an update to 3.0 .. they are considered two completely seperate packages [23:30] bastidrazor, oh... Shiretoko... I didn't notice it... duh.. [23:30] ok thanx mate ... [23:30] Im running kde 4.3 rc1 and my task manager is not showing running apps. I encounterd this last week and forget what I did to fix. Anybody know? [23:30] your system should boot anyway, even if you f*cked it up ;) [23:30] minimec: no, it didn't work... that's the USB one. If you look above it you'll see the integrated one doesn't pick up any networks [23:30] this is the error [23:30] http://pastebin.com/m7bae52f4 [23:30] np, come back if it doesn't work [23:30] dabukalam, so without the working card you cannot edit the wireless for ipw2200 [23:30] Kalmi, you can uninstall 3.0 if you like.. firefox-3.0 is the packagename [23:31] Hej [23:31] legend2440: Sapphire Radeon HD3650 512 DDR2 AGP [23:31] jjnw: define "edit the wireless" [23:31] sysRPL, is it a 64 bit install?

[23:33] jjnw: the problem is with the card, not the router. i'm already connected to the router with the USB card, but the integrated card doesn't give me any SSID's to connect to... [23:33] KrispyKreme: rm .mozilla/ -r will remove all firefox history [23:33] KrispyKreme: and config-files [23:33] KrispyKreme: firefox [23:33] dabukalam, lol, of course, sorry [23:33] rski: have you ever used Ccleaner for windows ? [23:33] KrispyKreme: sure [23:33] anyone knows of iMac channel? using OSX.. OSX is pretty much like linux right? [23:34] Can I upgrade Ubuntu 7.10 to 9.04? [23:34] rski: yeah, is there something like that for ubuntu? [23:34] n8tuser: it's nothing like it [23:34] KrispyKreme: You don't need something like that for linux [23:34] rski: I tried sweeper, but it doesn't do anything [23:34] KrispyKreme: no because it dosen't clutter in the samy way [23:34] reya276: Not directly I don't think. [23:34] legend2440: ok, wow, the computer freaked out on me, same deal, xorg took over and maxed the cpu, obviously, logging out/in fixes it [23:34] edbian, I want like an easy way to clear cookies and random data on my ubuntu partition [23:34] edbian, so it's not necessary? [23:35] rski-> nothing like it? any similarities? i thought OSX is unix based too noh? [23:35] edbian: Ok so can I upgrade 7.10 to 8.04 or 8.10? [23:35] k i just tried didi2002 but it still sed there wasent enuf free space [23:35] dabukalam: I see in a thread, that your BCM4318 is working well with wicd. ON the pic I see that you still use the network-manager. [23:35] The hibernation implementation currently used in Ubuntu, swsusp, needs a swap or suspend partition. It cannot use a swap file on an active file system. [23:35] KrispyKreme: You can set firefox to clear all those random bits on exit. [23:35] reya276: That you can definitely do. [23:35] edbian, sweet! thanks [23:35] n8tuser: they are very different, i think both are POSIX thou. [23:35] just read that in the wiki [23:35] :D [23:35] ok [23:35] edbian: ok so I can do 7.10 to 8.10 [23:35] reya276: you upgrade to one release higher each time. [23:35] KrispyKreme: Other than that there is no build up of random crap like there is in windows [23:35] ah ok [23:35] do you have free space on your disk? [23:36] reya276: no. You have to go one at a time. 7.10 to 8.04 to 8.10 to 9.04 [23:36] legend2440: it should be noted that I have the two dvi ports connected with dvi-vga connectors because my monitor doesn't support dvi and my tv has a vga input [23:36] yes its jus 7 % full [23:36] minimec: i already told you i switched back from wicd... [23:36] thanks, where can I get the command line for that as I will be doing the upgrade remotely through SSH [23:36] reya276: The only except is LTS to LTS (8.04 to whatever the next one will be) [23:36] has 65 gb [23:36] one more question. I am currently dual booting windows xp pro and ubuntu 9.04. when I load windows xp and delete something on that partition, it never gets deleted when I reboot and boot that partition up again. What is an explanation for that? [23:36] reya276: You do have phyical access to the box some how? Just in case somting goes wrong? [23:36] minimec: and i'm sorry, but i don't think i'm talking about a BCM4318 [23:36] you could try to resize a partition to free up 2gb of unpartitioned space to use as swap space [23:36] legend2440: the Catalyst Control Centre reads it as a Sony TV (which it is) [23:36] dabukalam-> what is the issue with your networking? i came in late here.. [23:36] reya276: Do you have data that you don't want to lose on the ubuntu install? It is probably easier to just get a 9.04 disk and reinstall the O.S. if not. [23:37] yeap but I will have to travel there, pretty far [23:37] how do i do that?? [23:37] i tried to read the forums but they dint explain [23:37] data loss is possible... [23:37] hmm, I had to purge firefox 3.0 and a bunch of it's packages. and setup my own icons [23:37] sudo apt-get install gparted [23:37] edbian: right I was thinking of that but not an option right now [23:37] dabukalam: All I see is, that you have two working cards on your system ;) The picture tells me that... [23:37] reya276: upgradeing so many releses at a time.. would scare me. :) but I guess you can try it. [23:38] ok....on all partitions?? or just one? [23:38] n8tuser: i have an intel wireless 2200 card which ain't seeing it's drivers in ubuntu [23:38] tristanmike: not sure what the problem is. maybe channel #ati would know [23:38] on the partition you are resizing [23:38] edbian: I have some data but I can always backup MYSQL and tranfer that to my PC here [23:38] its ok [23:38] n8tuser: i connected a USB card, and it sees a bunch of networks, but the 2200 doesn't see anything [23:38] reya276: You could (if you have room) make a new partition that will become your /home. Copy all of you /home onto the new partition and install 9.04 over the old partition mounting the new /home. Does that make sense? [23:38] reya276: Dr_Willis: interesting discussion, I am also needing to do this kind of upgrade via SSH, with the double danger of NOT being able to access the box physically anytime soon [23:38] legend2440: thanks for the advice, will do check [23:38] my only issue is that I'm hoping it does not change my nic card settings [23:38] dabukalam -> can you post your lshw -C results? [23:38] monostone: i wouldent do it then. [23:39] ok, install gparted, sudo gparted, locate your swap partition [23:39] reya276: It is risky doing it remotely :) [23:39] n8tuser: also, http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/1538/screenshotprg.png, lshw -c coming in a sec [23:39] edbian: yeah you have a point [23:39] dabukalam, minimec, it does look like a bcm4318. I thought we were looking at an intel card? [23:39] monostone: Just wait until the day before you take a trip out there and do it then. That way you don't waste time being there and you can see how good you are with linux. [23:39] edbian: k I wont go there, I guess it will have to wait. [23:39] edbian: thanks [23:39] thanks [23:39] hi [23:39] didi2002: it doesnt install it says....Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [23:39] reya276: NP! [23:39] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another proce [23:40] jjnw: he has two cards recognised 'even' by the network manager ;) [23:40] minimec, lol [23:40] skillz You have two package managers running [23:40] you probably have synaptics or another terminal running apt-get open [23:40] what does an external cd drive come up as on linux? usb external [23:40] hi [23:40] rascal999: /dev/sd# normally [23:40] yes synaptic was running .....sorry lemmi try again [23:40] rascal999: plug it in check 'dmesg' command output a few moments later [23:41] i have an executable file [23:41] I've got a whole load of "pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user root" in my auth.log every 10 minutes from the update-motd script. Is there a way to turn off this specific event for that command logging to the auth.log file? [23:41] which TRANSPARENT terminal would you use with openbox? [23:41] where is the path generally uset do copy this executable file? [23:41] cube___: most all of them do 'fake' transparency. so i would say look at other features of the various terminal emulators to decide what one to use.. [23:42] n8tuser: http://paste.ubuntu.com/212290/ [23:42] Stratocaster: /usr/bin ? [23:42] hmm ok thx [23:42] cube___: i like terminator, ive also been testing out 'evilvte' lately [23:42] n8tuser: not hat you're looking for, i assume... [23:42] terminator is running at the moment :D [23:43] Stratocaster, what file are you trying to run? [23:43] didi2002: i have think to /usr/local/bin too, is correctly? [23:43] should work,too [23:43] Halitech: a executable file fo lunch a program...i must install nothing [23:44] so no real transparency with openbox? [23:44] Stratocaster you can check $PATH [23:44] howdie folks. I own a computer store and I'd like to sell ubuntu based machines but I'm having issues w/ customers complaining about no dvd playback support that's legal in the us. is anyone here doing something like this and have a solution? the only product I can find is lindvd and booo it stinks hehe [23:44] ola [23:44] savageone: Do you know about the libdvdcss work around?? [23:45] savageone: there were some company selling 'licensed' dvd player support for linux. but i just install the decss stuff and be done withit. [23:45] savageone: See my personal message?? [23:45] actually, I guess all logs are good. I'll just grep -v out the stuff I don't want :-) [23:45] savageone: tell the users to install libdvdcss2, they are allowed to install it but you are not allowed to sell it [23:45] Stratocaster, if its a link to a program it should run from where ever as long as the path is correct [23:45] I changed the username I was using and the installation worked [23:45] didi2002: /usr/local/bin is in the path. Can I copy the executable here? [23:46] yeah it doesn't really matter, depending on what program it is it should work fine [23:46] I changed the username I was putting in and the instalation worked. Does that make any sense? [23:46] Irishmanluke, what username were you using? [23:46] luke [23:46] Halitech: I have a executable file and some directory....if I'm in the directory i write ./name_executable and it run [23:47] hello, i'd like some help recovering a botched partition: here is the data: 2nd logical partition went missing after windows xp install. [23:47] Irishmanluke, to me that doesn't make sense but if it works.. all is well .. you could try to create the user luke after the install is done if your set on luke as a username [23:47] qlk sveglio? [23:47] yeah [23:47] mik serve aiuto [23:47] Anyone in here ubuntu certified [23:47] Stratocaster, so if you create a launcher with the full path (ie /home/stratocaster/program/filename) it should run as well [23:47] I tried testdisk and it finds the partition but no superblocks at all. I can however browse the files. But on copying i get directory loops that fill my backup drive. [23:48] any other ideas? [23:48] hello [23:48] speack italiano? [23:48] !it | massi [23:48] massi: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [23:48] Halitech: Yes. I can. Iwant know the dpath usually used to save this type of file [23:48] bastidrazor: the thing is I tried it many times and all I did was change the username [23:48] anyone know a quick fix for openbox in jaunty? i can't log into an openbox session [23:48] Irishmanluke, sounds a bit odd, for sure [23:49] dio porco in calore di un porco dio [23:49] Stratocaster, if its not an installed program then /home/whatever is fine [23:49] 2nd issue. Hehe. I'm trying to dual boot Linux and XP. I've installed XP first on an IDE drive (sdb) and I've installed Ubuntu on the SATA (sda). Installation for both went fine, but upon boot, selecting the XP option yeilds the following "Starting up..." then the screen blinks (as it's handing it off) then it stays at a "black" screen and does nothing. I must power the computer off/on. Any ideas ? Here's my menu.lst http:// [23:49] paste.ubuntu.com/212293/ [23:49] I was wondering since luke was on the home directory I was using on a seperate partition if that was related to it [23:49] Stratocaster, sorry, /home/username/whatever [23:49] massi: guarda che anche se sei su una chat inglese gli italiani ci sono, ci metto tanto a segnalarti...CRETINO [23:49] Stratocaster, yes you can add a binary to /usr/local/bin and it will then be accessible like any other application === Qtpaxa1 is now known as Qtpaxa [23:50] opsssss [23:50] ola [23:50] !es | shago13 [23:50] dabukalam, still trying to think about your problem. Not many answers. It's a bit late here so I'm going to sleep on it. Give me a shout tomorrow if you see me. Sorry :-( [23:50] shago13: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [23:50] Halitech, bastidrazor: ok...thanks [23:51] massi: cerca di fare meno il cretino [23:51] n8tuser: any ideas? [23:52] quit [23:53] nn volevo scusa [23:53] :) [23:53] mgolisch [23:53] snailshell: ? [23:54] Halitech, bastidrazor: and if i make in /usr/local/bin a link to the path where is the executable file? [23:54] Stratocaster, if you put it in /usr/local/bin then the file name should run it [23:55] Halitech: perfect...thanks [23:55] Halitech: the command for create a link? [23:55] ln -s [23:55] well [23:56] Stratocaster, ln -s path/to/programname /usr/local/bin [23:56] bastidrazor, wouldn't that have to be run as sudo? [23:56] Stratocaster, /usr/local/bin/linkname [23:56] Halitech, yes [23:59] I figured it out, I selected a partition to use as my home directory but it already had my luke folder in it so when the installer tried to create my user's home directory it was already there [23:59] Irishmanluke, yes that would be a problem.
