[00:01] rTk^cool: If ubuntu detects other operating systems during install, it will automatically set up dual boot for you [00:01] barqers: Please do file a bug report if you have time, then try running "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180" and once that is done try enabling the driver with System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [00:01] haha awesome [00:02] why does a apt-get install apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5 result in apache delivering php pages as downloadable content?

[00:03] and restart apache [00:03] does it not enable automatically? [00:03] it does on a full lamp intall [00:03] !lamp [00:03] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [00:03] *install [00:04] and yes... the php5 is loaded [00:04] module is loaded [00:04] danl: Have you restarted apache since installing PHP ?

Because my Jaunty install doesn't seem to provide one [00:07] Please remind me how to extract a .exe file to get at the .inf driver file ndiswrapper needs. [00:08] Madsy: Did you do "ls -a" to include hidden files? [00:08] Jordan_U: Yep, of course. === josh| is now known as josh|away [00:08] twig11: Are you sure you need ndiswrapper, if you have a broadcom card you probably don't [00:08] hey guys, my WINE installed items do not show up in the applications menu - any lcues?

I updated my repository and they are not coming up. Also not appearing in restricted drivers [00:10] Jordan_U: It shows up in lsusb, but I know it doesn't Just Work because I'm in range of a wireless network and network manager doesn't know it.

[00:13] twig11: It probably does need ndiswrapper since it's USB and not working out of the box, but you can check by searching if there is a driver with the information printed from lsusb ( not the modle on the box as that tells you little about what the actual chipset is ) [00:13] i get a black screen, from sugar-emulator but nothing more [00:13] has anyone succeded on getting sugar under jaunty?

[00:18] l0nr4n- ./file?

Update manager is listing just kernel related packages. is upgradeing a kernel consider a dist upgrade? [00:20] Kreg-Work: No [00:20] Kreg-Work, no [00:20] Jordan_U, beat me to it [00:20] is sudo apt-get dist-upgrade supposed to bring me to karmic from jaunty?

[00:24] manbreadj: open a terminal and type it in [00:25] manbreadj: but type it as sudo dpkg --configure -a [00:25] that option has disappeared from my menu [00:25] If I understand correctly, Synaptic has an option to generate a "Download packages on another host, copy them (with USB, CD, etc) to this one, and install here" script for updates. How can I do that from the command line? [00:25] manbreadj: no terminal? === Inc`_ is now known as Inc` [00:27] Jordan_U: Hey, I forgot about this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Linksys_WUSB11v4_(ndiswrapper) I think I can follow this, but I still need to know how to tell if there are competing drivers.

[00:30] manbreadj: do a crtl+alt+f1. It will stop the GUI and bring you to a command line. Then run the command that istarnes said [00:30] i'm on a a dell mini and i also get full memory messages, if that's relevant...

[01:04] for now mplayer sees that 10 min are downladed and playes 10 min. but by time 10 min passes there are other 10 min downloaded [01:04] dragon_, ok, thanks much! [01:05] h4f: which it doesn't play [01:05] h4f: that's right [01:05] does anyone have any knowledge on why Firefox 3 would randomly erase all of my settings, bookmarks, saved passwords, etc., unprovoked? [01:05] tarzeau: yeap vlc does that just fine [01:05] Magichal: do you run iceweasel and firefox, different versions? [01:05] suddenly, i get no response. what was it that offended? is it the fact i'm on a mini? my dislike of all things microsoft? why am i now scorned so? [01:05] I tried checking the profiles with "firefox -profilemanager" in terminal, but that didn't seem to help. and I checked the /.mozilla folder and all of my data is still there. [01:05] h4f: yeah, ask #mplayer [01:05] tarzeau: can mplayer do that ? [01:05] ladinu: That seems much better than my way, if you are curious you can see the begginings of my function at http://JordanU.dyndns.org/fixpath.sh [01:05] h4f: maybe with one of its options [01:06] tarzeau: I don't think I have iceweasel, but I run the latest version of Firefox for linux. [01:06] Magichal: 3.5? [01:06] Magichal: the settings are stored in your home directory under ".mozilla" folder. Was that folder tampered? [01:06] tarzeau: yes. [01:06] Jordan_U: that link is a 404 [01:06] dragon_: no. about three hours ago, everything was fine. I stood up and left my computer for an hour, and when I came back and tried to open my browser, everything was blank. [01:06] Jordan_U, thank you for your time. I'll check it out [01:07] dragon_: Not anymore ;) === Qtpaxa1 is now known as Qtpaxa [01:07] dragon_: I have no toolbars, no toolbar bookmarks, no home page, no URL bar (even when I hit the Home button, no URL shows up), and despite my home page settings in the Preferences, my home page always directs me to the mozilla.org webpage. [01:07] Magichal: is it firefox 3.5? [01:08] dragon_: 3.0.11 [01:08] my bad, I thought it was 3.5 [01:08] Ubuntu sucks balls. [01:08] am i here? are you receiving me? [01:08] No. [01:08] GTFO. [01:08] manbreadj: Yes, we can see you [01:08] !ops | Haner [01:08] Haner: Help! Channel emergency!

[01:09] Guys how do I install a metacity theme in ubuntu 9.04? [01:09] manbreadj: Ignore Haner, he's just a troll [01:09] Jordun_U: Thank you very much! that worked! [01:09] ok, thanks jordan_u [01:09] Any ideas about playing an xvid video in Ubuntu? Docs didn't help much. [01:09] barqers: np :) [01:10] dragon_u: http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii189/Magichal/phot.png this is a screenshot of what my browser looks like when I open it up now. completely blank. [01:10] dragon_, what problem do you have? [01:10] I downloaded the XNTricity theme from gnome-looks, and placed it into ~./themes and when I go to appearance it doesn't show any themes labelled XNTricity. What am I doing wrong? :S [01:11] Socah: xvid wouldn't play at all. [01:11] so i 'm on a dell mini. really, its not mine-its for my son... [01:11] I'm about to head out. can someone tell Martin31 to try * ls /dev|grep '[s|h]d[a-z]' * when he returns (minues the * of course) [01:11] Does anyone know if Ubuntu running really slow can be a driver issue? I've tried all versions from 7.04 to the current version on a Dell Inspiron 1150 laptop and it runs way slower than XP does on the same machine. [01:11] Magichal: so did you install 3.5 and start using that? [01:11] i was installing updates and -surprise!- i run out of space and get an error. [01:11] hey all .. what is that program in ubuntu that lets you extract rar files ? [01:11] dragon_u: on your problem, I think VLC media player plays xvid videos. and I'll try installing 3.5 right now. [01:12] but now things have changed: [01:12] blaine00: start with the task monitor. Go to a terminal and run `top`, and see if there's a program hogging up all the resources. [01:12] dragon_, try this: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad w32codecs [01:12] dragon_u: if not, i'm sure you can find a codecs pack somewhere. [01:12] !firewall [01:12] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [01:13] some menu options have disappeared, some menu options don't respond, quit doesn't bring up shutdown options.... [01:13] VLC didn't work so far, and those codec packages are installed. [01:13] what do i do to fix this stuff? [01:13] Anyone know what the command is that retrieves the build options from an installed package for programs that use it as a liubrary? [01:14] dragon_, I will check all packages that I have installed and are related to codecs [01:14] Does anyone know how to install the theme XNTricity? [01:15] hey guys [01:15] Magichal: btw, firefox has a keyboad shortcut (Ctrl + Shift + Del something) that removes all the history and personal data. Still, I think your firefox's config directory is missing or inaccessible. [01:15] is there a way to decrease the countdown to shutdown or restart ubuntu? [01:15] I'm getting a trinitron like flash in my lcd monitor from a nvidia card. Does anyone else see that? [01:16] dragon_, what about package ubuntu-restricted-extras ? [01:16] When I try to install a theme it says "This theme will not be displayed properly because the window manager Gilouche is not installed" [01:16] Socah: i was refraining from installing that since it comes with a lot of extra stuff [01:17] ok, somebody help me out here. i'm new to this crap. folks were helping me a few minutes ago, now i get no response. did I offend some protocol i don't know about? have i stumped all of you geniuses? is my ignorance that offensive? [01:17] dragon_, it's ur choice, but I have almost all gstreamer packages, and this restricted extras... no problem with opening any media files with totem [01:17] Socah: even xvid works well? [01:17] how do I get to Windows from ubuntu in dual boot [01:17] dragon_, for me, yes [01:18] manbreadj: well, copping an attitude probably isn't helpiing [01:18] manbreadj: you have partion updates ... things are probably in a mess [01:18] manbreadj: you need to get more space [01:18] I've pretty much disabled everything I could. There doesn't seem to be any program that stands out. Window refresh is slow and glitchy and programs seem to take a while to load and stay sluggish once they are loaded. I've tried Firefox, swiftfox, and Synaptic and all are unbareably slow. This is a fresh install of 9.04. [01:18] rTk^cool: you already have windows and ubuntu installed in dual boot and are now on windows? [01:18] Socah: It might be an issue with the xvid file in that case. I have almost all gstreamer packages, and tried others but none worked. Moreover, I haven't had a codec problem before. [01:19] this is not an attitude. i just don't know whats going on. im trying to be clever and sarcastic... [01:19] no I'm in ubuntu [01:19] rTk^cool: you restart the machine and select the OS at the beginning [01:19] just want to know how to switch [01:19] oh u can't. have. both at the same time? [01:19] anyone know about triple channel kits? [01:19] so, skaperen, is it possible to just undo what i've done? [01:19] Even Xubuntu runs slow... it has a 2.4Ghz Celeron and 512MB of RAM. [01:19] !hungarian [01:19] Magyar nyelvű segítséget az #ubuntu-hu csatornán talál [01:19] rTk^cool: not native no [01:19] manbreadj: did you fill up a partition or the entire disk? [01:20] i don't know [01:20] rTk^cool: you can run one inside other, but it's not possible to run both of them together. [01:20] Magichal: Are you sure it's erased? It could be just not loading properly for some reason [01:20] !pm > FROMTPERU [01:20] FROMTPERU, please see my private message [01:20] dragon_, you could try to check if you got installed gnome-codec-install package, and open xvid file with totem, it should prompt to install codecs if you don't got them... if it will not prompt, propably it's a issue with your packages [01:20] Guys what does it mean when it says "This theme will not look as intended because the required window manager theme 'Gilouche' is not installed"? [01:20] manbreadj: start a terminal ... or press Alt+Ctrl+F1 to switch to text mode ... do "df" and see [01:20] dragon_u: I'm now using Firefox 3.5, and the only functionality I've gained back is my ability to have a home page. I have a URL bar and a home page now, but my browser still can't import my old bookmarks (the error message says: "Unable to process the backup file."), and I still don't have a browsing history. [01:21] Magichal: in that case, you should consider filing a bug. [01:21] Jordan_U: I know it's all there, I'm seeing it in the home//.mozilla directory, it's just not loading now. [01:22] Magichal, I see there are more problems with Firefox over the time. Last day, guy had problem with continously prompting for restart of firefox, even when he removed configs, purged package and installed it again, problem was still not solved. Strange. [01:22] Magichal: Are you more concerned with recovering your old data or getting firefox to start saving settings / history from now on ( or both ) ? [01:22] manbreadj: the lines with /dev/sda or /dev/hda are the ones to pay attention to ... sometimes also /dev/sdb or /dev/hdb [01:22] dragon_: would changing GTK themes have anything to do with this? recently I tweaked my GTK theme a little bit, and none of these problems were happening before I did such. [01:22] the /dev/sda2 usage is 100%. [01:22] Socah: wow that is weird. I hope I don't get anything like that. [01:22] i'm running hardy. ifplugd with wired connection works prefectly, but it doesn't work with wifi connection, i have to do a manual 'ifup wlan0'. is ifplugd supposed to work with wifi connections? [01:22] rTk^cool: I think portable ubuntu is the closest to what u want http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNzmNB-P6Qk&fmt=22 [01:23] sorry, i meant to say, instead of buying a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227422, can i get 2 of http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227365 ?? [01:23] manbreadj: how big is sda1, sda2, sda3, sda4, etc? [01:23] Socah: problem was with the video file. Other xvid videos are playing well. [01:23] manbreadj: the first column with numbers [01:23] Socah: thanks for the help [01:23] Jordan_U: I'm more concerned with making Firefox save things, like browsing history and bookmarks. I found a list of backed up bookmarks in my /,mozilla/firefox/ folder, but when I try to import the backup list, Firefox won't let me. I can still open it with a text editor and retrieve all of my bookmarks, though. so I technically can reassemble my bookmarks if I can find a way to have Firefox start saving things again. [01:24] dragon_, you solved it urself, so you are welcome [01:24] is there a way to decrease the countdown to shutdown or restart ubuntu? [01:24] Magichal: Have you tried renaming your ~/.mozilla and starting firefox so that it starts from scratch? [01:24] Magichal: Google Bookmarks might have a way of importing that bookmark file.. [01:25] Hilikus: I think there is. Let me check. [01:25] thats the only one listed. there's varrun, varlock, udev, a few others [01:25] Hilikus: are you one of those people that wants it to be 5 seconds? [01:25] Magichal: did you create a new profile yet? [01:25] If usage is 100%, I would suggest moving some data off of that partition. Ubuntu doesn't react well to not having any space. [01:25] Jordan_U: no, but I'll try that now. [01:25] Skaperen: yes [01:25] dragom [01:25] if you are at home watching TV please be advised [01:25] dragon_: is there? how would I go about doing that? [01:25] dragon_: thanks [01:25] dragom [01:25] dragom [01:25] ay from peruviam [01:25] Why is it important to have an actual root user?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [01:26] Magichal: go to google bookmarks and hit import ;) [01:27] i trying to format my ipod with ubuntu 9.04 to fat 32 anyway how [01:27] aspoor: because some things you want to assign to root so that nobody else can run,see,change them [01:27] manbreadj: can you give me the size of it? [01:27] Jordan_U: AH HAH! renaming the ~/.mozilla folder to ~/.poopzilla must have done the trick! [01:27] I have a question. :U Durp. Trying to get my wacom bamboo fun to work, it was all fine and dandy except for no pen pressure, so, I installed the wacom tools from synaptic and, well, it's refusing to even work now. The lights on it turn on and all that jazz, but, the pen, and buttons are useless. [01:27] 3640944 [01:28] I guess my firefox files got bugged somehow...hm. that's odd. [01:28] manbreadj: this is a 4G storage device? [01:28] Is it possible to force all installed libraries to also install 32 bit versions? [01:28] dragon_: now that my browser is saving things, I'll try to import the bookmarks like I did before. [01:29] can someone please tell me how to put the panel at the top instead of the left side of the screen???? [01:29] i don't thinks so. I'm on a dell mini and my son has a sd card in it [01:29] micah, right click->properties, change orientation [01:29] thank you porter [01:29] oh thats kinda cool [01:30] I have the latest ubuntu, and when doesn't have the shutdown or logoff option uder System [01:30] manbreadj: the number you gave looks like a 4G device with some shaved off maybe for swap space ... did you install onto the SD card? [01:30] any ideas? [01:31] redrebel, it's been moved into a new applet. [01:31] Neh, anyone have any knowledge with wacom tablets at all? :x [01:31] See your name? Click on it, you'll see logout options. [01:31] no i don't think so. i just followed the prompts from the update manager. [01:31] Zetsubou, what about? === booboo is now known as coz_ [01:32] manbreadj: it sounds like you installed more than I did, or have other data taking up space (like downloaded music) [01:32] porter1: Well I explained above but I guess nobody saw, but.. My wacom tablet is not detecting pen strokes, or, the pen in general. It was kinda working before without pen pressure, so I installed the wacom tools from synaptic, annnnd then I restarted and now I'm kinda stuck at it not detecting the pen. [01:32] flash on firefox 3.5 installed on ubuntu hardy does not work. ideas? [01:33] So I just got an HP mini mi with some custom version of Hardy Heron on it. I'm a bit disapointed by the lack of package access I am used to with gentoo and sabayon. Are there package repositories for things like truecrypt and citrix icaclient that I should be aware of? Its using lpia. [01:33] Hilikus: I couldn't find of a way of reducing that countdown. To completely get rid of those dialogs, run gconf-editor and check: apps > panel > applets > fast_user_switch > prefs > suppress_logout_restart_shutdown === gnac__ is now known as gnac_ [01:33] ok im aware this isnt the ideal place to ask, but its kinda related (since ive been using that feature on ubuntu): how can i symlink on windows? [01:33] redrebel: the shutdown, logoff etc. options have been moved to the user switcher applet, somewhere around top-right [01:33] oh [01:34] Cube_: you can't [01:34] Zetsubou, well, I'm, guessing the wacom-tools package is incorrectly. The only thing you can do is uninstall, and appeal to the developers of that package to support your tablet. [01:34] Cube_: cant so much [01:34] anyone here mounting things from another samba share automatically on startup? when i try to reboot or shutdown it gets delayed with some error about the CIFS server not responding [01:34] Cube_: you can create a shortcut in windows, but there are no symlinks [01:34] dragon_: mmm ok, thanks [01:34] gnac_: kk. no way of getting that to work? like a package to install? [01:34] dragon_: wow, and there you go, my bookmarks loaded after I tried what you said. Thank you so much. =) [01:34] dragon_: [01:34] Magichal: you're welcome :) [01:34] Zetsubou, aka only basic support is available for it right now. [01:34] Cube_: Although cygwin can create them, but they can only be used like symlinks in cygwin [01:34] Aah, I guess. [01:34] Sorry [01:34] Jordan_U: thank you too for helping me as well. see you later everybody. [01:34] Cube_: to windows they look just like shortcuts [01:34] thanks, porter1. [01:35] my son might have put some stuff on it, but my problem is i cant seem to undo what i've done. when i click on system - administration - main menu, nothing happens. i can't set preferences. [01:35] Zetsubou, you could help the devs of that package by maybe submitting a bug report [01:35] gnac_: ok. i love using symlinks with dropbox here on ubuntu, and i'd love to be able to do that on windows [01:35] !nessus [01:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about nessus [01:35] i still cant get my sound right [01:35] Might be trivial === Qtpaxa1 is now known as Qtpaxa [01:35] need help with nessus people...how to add admin user ? i am using nessue 3.2.1 [01:35] gnac_: truecrypt isn't included because of licensing issues. There are .debs available from their site [01:35] theres no add/remove option anynmore. the synaptic package manager doesn't work. [01:36] porter1: I'm gonna try and mess around with it a little more.. If I can't get the tablet to do anything, that's fine since I dual-boot into Windows anyways. I was just hoping I could use GIMP instead of photoshop since it means switching between OSes.. Horray. :x [01:36] guys need help my modem is not detected by the os [01:36] though it detected only once [01:37] have i corrupted the registry? is there even a registry or something equvalent to it? [01:37] Jordan_U: yep, but they're not compiled for lpia so the installer barfs on me. [01:37] how can i erase contents of txt file without deleting it [01:37] manbreadj, there is not, only config files [01:37] justfil, edit it, delete content, save? [01:37] ok, could i have corrupted them? [01:37] manbreadj: no registry per se ... various config files and databases [01:38] need help with nessus people...how to add admin user ? i am using nessue 3.2.1 [01:38] Socah, command line [01:38] Zetsubou, I feel your pain. [01:38] manbreadj: yes ... they were being updated and could not complete when disk is full [01:38] i ask because when i click on quit, i get no options, it just shuts the computer down [01:38] likewise cygwin icaclient seems to be a manual effort to install, eg download this, download that ... vs apt-get/emerge/equo install icaclient [01:38] porter1: Oh, hey! I got the pen to be detected again. |3 [01:38] justfil: you could move another blank file to it by changing the name of the other file [01:38] manbreadj, you could delete config files that are responsible for menu, they will be recreated with re-logging [01:38] justfil: maybe echo "" > file [01:38] ^er citrix icaclient [01:38] Now let's see if I can figure out pen pressure.. :C [01:38] justfil, nano /path/to/file, then remove what you need and save with ctrl+o, exit with ctrl+x [01:38] Guys, what does this mean "The NetworkManager applet could not find some required resources. It cannot continue" when installing an icon theme? [01:38] justfil, if this is a system file, you need to use it with sudo [01:39] thanks [01:39] barqers, http://www.google.pl/search?hl=pl&rlz=1G1GGLQ_PLPL295&q=%22The+NetworkManager+applet+could+not+find+some+required+resources.+It+cannot+continue%22+problem&btnG=Szukaj&lr= [01:39] sounds like i might be venturing into dangerous territory? i don't wanna dig myself into a deeper hole... [01:39] sandy, does it appear in lspci? Most likely it's not supported by the kernel yet. [01:40] * Black_Phantom yawwwnn [01:40] manbreadj, there is nothing to loose than changes that you made in your look of GNOME [01:40] well at first when i connected it, got connected === Qtpaxa1 is now known as Qtpaxa [01:40] n i connected to internet [01:40] after i restart my pc [01:40] was wondering what sabayon is, it seem's it's some sort of gentoo offspring. Seem's some people still go for the documented 0.05% gain from hours of compiling... [01:40] it wont get any network connection [01:40] need help with nessus people...how to add admin user ? i am using nessue 3.2.1 [01:40] sorry, not sure what you mean by that last statement [01:41] sandy, I suggest you using wicd - it's program similar to networkmanager, if you will not be able to solve your problem, you can try installing wicd [01:41] sandy, hm, interesting. Which application are you using for dialing? [01:41] wtf my sound worked shittily for 5 seconds then shut back off [01:41] yep but does it also support modem? [01:41] he talks about modem? then I don't know [01:41] wow nobody's used nessus ?!?! [01:42] now my sound works [01:42] !info nessus [01:42] nessus (source: nessus-core): Remote network security auditor, the client. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.2.10-3 (jaunty), package size 236 kB, installed size 600 kB [01:42] pronoy: nope.. never used it.. :) [01:42] now it stopped [01:42] Socah: I've tried that, but nothing seems to work for my situation [01:42] where to get that wicd [01:42] sandy, wait, what's ur modem? [01:42] how can i access the config files? [01:42] Dr_Willis its the best network vulnerability scanner out there !!!!!!!! [01:42] manbreadj, wait a sec [01:42] ok [01:42] siemens c2110 [01:42] pronoy: so? :) my network is a whole 3 pc's [01:43] manbreadj, check this out http://www.google.pl/search?hl=pl&rlz=1G1GGLQ_PLPL295&q=resetting+gnome+menus&btnG=Szukaj&lr= [01:43] AUGH, OH SNAP. I got pen pressure working! <3 I am happyfayse now, I should've messed around with more things before asking for help. Ahaha. Thanks though, porter1. [01:43] sandy, I guess something just conflicrts with your modem. Probably GNOME's network manager which is started upon login. [01:43] connected through lancard(intex) [01:43] i'm having serious issues with ubuntu right now. the latest kernel does a kernel panic on boot, and the previous one has graphical glitches that make it difficult & annoying to read [01:43] Dr_Willis understanding a network requires knowledge of how it works...enter nessus [01:43] ok [01:43] manbreadj: you can always reinstall ... that might help ... then this time don't add any new packages but check the space usage ... then update only and check usage again [01:43] any soln to it? [01:44] pronoy: nah - networks are all about the fat pipes! :P [01:44] manbreadj: backup your data to the SD card or a USB memory stick [01:44] sandy, ah, probably the network manager tries to assign an IP over DHCP which of course fails. [01:44] Dr_Willis ok but question still stands [01:44] anyone can help me with NESSUS ? [01:45] sancas, you must copy output of lspci -v to the ubuntu's paste (check TOPIC of channel) and give us link [01:45] Perhaps ask a more specific question pronoy. [01:45] Zetsubou, no problem. [01:45] manbreadj, solved ur problem? [01:45] Question: How would I get a listing of all devices connected to my router, especially wirelessly [01:45] how to add a admin user to nessus 3.2.1 client....can anyone please help me with NESSUS ?!?! [01:46] umm, i think i'm getting in over my head...some of its not english. [01:46] then how to stop the network manager to assign ip over dcph [01:46] manbreadj, sec [01:47] ok [01:47] sandy, sorry, I don't use Ubuntu and GNOME but IMHO it is possible to disable the network manager completely ... somehow [01:47] manbreadj, try to sudo apt-get reinstall gnome-menu [01:47] hmm [01:47] ok [01:48] manbreadj, or if you are not scared of loosing changes that you made to look of your gnome, simply remove file (rm -r ~/.gnome*) [01:48] sandy: System > Preferences > Network setup a static connection [01:48] and relog [01:49] i have tried various ways of installing Call Of Duty 4 but i have failed everytime, anybody have had luck installing CoD4? I've tried POL, WINE, i don't think im doing WINE correctly, but anybody, please help! [01:49] http://hackertarget.com/2009/06/guide-to-nessus-4-on-ubuntu-904/ pronoy [01:49] arktsone, did you visited winehq? there is a how to for installing CoD [01:50] Socah: i did, i tried the instructions, but i was getting a problem installing directx [01:50] how to set it up as static [01:50] no not worried about that at all [01:50] sandy, probably this might be interesting for you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager#Disabling%20NetworkManager [01:50] how do i do that [01:50] i never say any such option there [01:50] ? [01:50] manbreadj: you probably need to re-install from scratch ... that should work, even if you don't really need to ... but manually fixing as it is now probably is "in over your head" [01:50] arktsone, you could try this: http://www.fsckin.com/2008/02/21/how-to-run-call-of-duty-4-cod4-modern-combat-in-linux/ [01:51] is there any tutorial for that? [01:51] okn i have to do that from the disk, right? [01:51] manbreadj, open terminal, and type rm -r ~/.gnome* [01:51] brb [01:51] ok [01:52] * Black_Phantom out, good night all [01:52] manbreadj: you might need to install less stuff [01:52] sandy: Choose The interface you want to configure, click add, then in the ip settings tab choose "manual" as the method instead of DHCP [01:52] manbreadj: I did an install then an upgrade, without adding other packages, and the size I got was much less than the size of your space [01:53] can anyone tell me the difference between allowing a port and limiting it? [01:53] sandy, if you don't need the network manager at all, the easiest would be to completely remove it. But then you won't be able to use a GUI to configure ethernet. [01:53] i can set allow/limit/deny/block [01:53] which no explanation to the first 2 and second 2 :( [01:53] so how can i remove something i've installed? [01:54] manbreadj, sudo apt-get remove package-name [01:54] manbreadj: apt-get remove [01:54] allow allows all, limit restrists some connections like certain IP addresses, deny causes connections to be refused, block just does nothing not even a refusal [01:54] laeg, block silently discards... [01:55] Socah: i was thinking about that one, but he uses an old version of WINE, and i don't know if it will have issues, since I've read you can get errors on different versions [01:56] what is the difference between uuntu and red hat [01:56] arktsone, most simple way - go to winehq, check for your version's rating, check comments for this version (people often write what they problem had, and how they solved it), I think nobody can help you there with wine. You can always joint #winehq channel === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [01:56] !support [01:56] The official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org [01:56] Socah: thanks, ill check into that [01:56] dryfyre: branding, different set of software initially installed, also who maintains them/programs them. [01:56] dryfyre: thats offtopic for this channel [01:56] dryfyre, Red Hat and Canonical are completely different distributors [01:56] dryfyre, fastes way is google.com [01:57] it is on topic [01:57] this is he ubuntu support === wyggler21 is now known as wyggler2_ [01:58] ... different packaging system. I think wikipedia shows the differences. [01:58] manbreadj, did you removed this file and relogged? [01:59] it says : cannot remove '/home/lucas/.gnome*' no such file or directory [02:00] manbreadj, type rm -r ~/gnome2 [02:00] hey [02:00] <_Space_Case_> anybody use the Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-950Q to wach DTV in linux? [02:00] whats up [02:00] ~/.gnome2 [02:00] all [02:00] ok [02:00] Hello fetch [02:00] fetch: unemployment :-) [02:00] sudo? [02:00] fetch: a job [02:00] manbreadj, not needed [02:00] ok [02:00] yes......you have one for mee [02:01] _Space_Case_, no but I have a similar card. What's your problem? [02:01] fetch: sure, if you're willing to work for free [02:01] hahahaha [02:01] manbreadj, you can always go into your home folder, click ctrl+h, and find folder named .gnome2 and delete it like every other folder [02:01] what kind of work [02:02] sound! [02:02] fetch: lemme get one for myself and I'll let you know, uh preferably setting up ubuntu systems [02:02] same response: no such file or directory [02:02] <_Space_Case_> i want to purchase a card/usb stick for the laptop to wach DTV was wondering what to get... [02:02] manbreadj, are you using gnome at all? lol [02:02] really...i was thinking the same thing [02:02] yes that much i know! [02:02] the market is there [02:03] manbreadj, write priv message to me [02:03] where are you located [02:03] ok [02:03] fetch starbucks in ca us [02:03] Question: How can I get a listing of all devices connected to my router, especially wireless devices? [02:03] i'm in columbia...south carolina [02:04] _Space_Case_, according to Google that card is alraedy supported by Linux for quite some time. [02:04] IsmAvatar: you will need to connect to your router... each model of router is different [02:05] IsmAvatar: usually http://192.168.0.1 or 1.1 [02:05] hey guys, quick question about memory... is there a difference between buying a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227422, or can i get 2 of http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227365 ?? [02:05] IsmAvatar, propably you need to go to your router configuration site, log-in to the admin-panel and check logs, as thebuck86 says [02:05] _Space_Case_, that's what it says at least on the official Hauppauge site (http://www.hauppauge.com/site/support/linux.html) [02:06] thebuck86 and socah: I am connected by cat5 into the router, and have logged into that panel. I wasn't able to find anything that did what I wanted. Either it only lists hardwired computers or my wireless network is surprisingly vacant [02:06] juanbond, alot is going to depend on the specifications for your motherboard [02:06] _Space_Case_, try this it is made for linux http://www.pchdtv.com/ [02:06] juanbond, as far as I see, it's the same thing, but sold separatly, if you buy 2x second link, you got 1x first link [02:07] juanbond, same brand, same memory size, same speed [02:07] IsmAvatar: you could also run wireshark to see data traffic on your network (this gets somewhat advanced...yet fun) [02:07] my motherboard i'm looking to buy: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131365 [02:07] Socah, and for much cheaper too :) [02:07] Hello people i m looking for some useful tools for linux ubuntu something like nmap or some network tools or admin tools can somebody please give me a web addy so i can check up which softwares are avaible for linux ubuntu [02:07] ? [02:08] juanbond, for sure it's the same, but sold in other quantity [02:08] thebuck86: I was considering that. I was hoping for a solution that wouldn't require sitting around waiting for their computer to send out packets, though [02:08] juanbond: ##hardware would be a better place to ask, this is offtopic for Ubuntu support. [02:08] !ot [02:08] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [02:08] juanbond, there are differences in performance between the two also read the specifications for each [02:08] tayfun_: run synaptic package manager .. that is the list of what is available [02:08] Pici, thank you :) [02:09] maybe I could write a program that sniffs for new mac address packets, so I don't have to sit there and watch a dull list, lol [02:09] Hi! I just installed 8 gb on my machine. But ubuntu recognizes only 7.6 gb. Why and how do I resolve this? I was able to use 8 gb on a mac [02:09] Pici, was looking for a channel like that, thanks again. [02:09] thebuck thanks i m already running but there is a lot of softwares so i thought maybe you have some web sites which i can look for the category of softwares and the describe of the softwares so i can look read and download the softwares which is what i meant [02:09] thanks [02:09] /join #ubuntu-my [02:09] help help ( sos) [02:10] tayfun_, SourceForge is a good starting point [02:10] wfiuewfew, in fast 8gb of ram is 7,6 as far as I know [02:10] tayfun_: packages.ubuntu.com [02:10] thanks [02:10] Socah: what? [02:10] tayfun_, but not all of the applications are in the Ubuntu/Debian repositories [02:10] Whats a good working environment for Web Design? (spec. ubuntu) [02:10] Gedit [02:10] wfiuewfew, it's normal [02:10] :-p [02:10] hahaha [02:10] Socah: Can you explain why [02:11] wfiuewfew: that's a math thing gigabyte vs. gibibyte... totally cool [02:11] wfiuewfew, I don't know why, but it is - mine 4 gb ram is seen as 3,7gb - I will check why it is [02:11] pls any one can help me [02:11] ye, thebuck86 is right [02:11] hi i am a linux newbie, and I have a php application that creates some files which isnt working... can someone work me through figuring out what user the application runs under and what permissions it has? [02:11] !gibibit [02:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about gibibit [02:11] Socah, maybe it's shared with your onboard graphics card. [02:11] thebuck86: So which is ubuntu system monitor reporting [02:11] timn thanks i m gonna read and i wont install all the applications i m just new here and interesting of new softwares so maybe i can find something useful i m actually using xp but i m trygin to using linux ubuntu i gotta tell you i love it its really nice [02:12] johnibanez1, it's possible, I'm using integrated card with shared memory [02:12] still new thing to learn ;) [02:12] Socah, that might be your case there. [02:13] wfiuewfew: gibibyte --- wolframalpha.com - gibibyte [02:13] how e-mail evoultion work i cant set up my account [02:13] johnibanez1, a good editor (e.g. VIM), a web browser that passes ACID3 and has good debugging tools (hint: Arora looks promising but Firefox with the Web Developer extension isn't bad either) [02:13] aweomse [02:13] karamella, where you got ur account? [02:13] on what site [02:14] thebuck86: which does ubuntu report? [02:14] wfiuewfew: gibibyte [02:14] thebuck86: And a mac reports gigabyte? [02:14] wfiuewfew: exactly [02:15] thebuck86: Oh thanks. That's interesting I am wondering why they chose that convention [02:16] wfiuewfew: mathematicians were involved in the creation of ubuntu -- thats why [02:16] Thanks timn [02:17] Hello, how do I 1) figure out my apache user, 2) grant my apache user the ability to write files into a certian folder? [02:17] np [02:17] johnibanez1, if you're an opponent of WYSIWYG, Kompozer might be useful for you [02:18] alexnet: apache user is www-data ... sudo chown www-data:www-data directory [02:18] timn, nah WYSISWYG is bad. [02:18] thankyou thebuck86 [02:18] in a good way though. :)) [02:18] Anyone familiar with TFTP and PXE? [02:19] thebuck86 would those permissions be applied to all of the directories and files contained therein by using that command? [02:19] johnibanez1, I agree but everybody who's ever used Frontpage (ugh) would miss such an application under Linux so it's good that we have an (even better) equivalent [02:19] alexnet: the -R option to chown makes it recursive. [02:20] thank you prince_jammys [02:20] thebuck86: many thanks [02:20] alexnet: if you add -R to the end of it that will go recursively into all files/folders within a folder [02:20] wfiuewfew: no problem - just a guy sitting at starbucks [02:20] okay, one more question... by granting permission to www-data am i *taking away* permissions from anyone else? [02:20] what kind of nvidia drivers should i download [02:21] alexnet: probably .... what files are you changing? [02:21] Hallo Guys [02:21] alexnet: yes, unless the previous owner was root. [02:21] do i just download the windows xp drivers now: [02:21] who have my name [02:22] prince_jammys, thebuck86, the previous owner was root.. its just some php app i made that writes a log into some folder, which it doesnt appear to be atm (i just applied the permissions i'll be trying it again in a moment) [02:22] !nvidia | rTk^ [02:22] rTk^: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [02:23] hello [02:23] bazhang thanks...worked like a charm [02:23] hello. [02:23] hello [02:23] what command shows the permissions? [02:23] ls -l [02:23] Pronoy you're welcome [02:24] thanks [02:24] oops [02:24] and www-data needs permissions to a folder if a php webpage intends to write to that folder, right? [02:24] wow that was easy [02:24] LOL [02:24] alexnet: yes [02:24] somebody was just helping me and i got disconnected. any body recognize my nick? [02:25] was it scolo? [02:25] manbreadj: someone was apparently telling you to delete all .gnome* directories in your homedir [02:26] manhbreadj: scoch ... and they left [02:26] "Socah" was the nick. [02:26] prince_jammys: you are right [02:26] yea that was it!my luck they left.... [02:26] Does anybody here already installed the .7 version of Texas Poker? The packet on the repository is not updated to the new version of it. [02:26] manbreadj: what were you trying to do [02:27] now my dell won't even boot [02:27] manbreadj: details please [02:27] you can't boot into ubuntu? [02:27] i was downloading updates, ran out of space and everything went to hell [02:28] no, i get the login screen but the it says to boot if a failsafe mode [02:28] elaborate on the "everything went to hell" part. [02:28] manbreadj: i'd start over ... with a bigger harddrive [02:28] whatup peeps [02:28] Hey gang! [02:28] manbreadj: so you can't start a gnome session? [02:28] im trying but i seem to have fallen inot a vortex i can't get out of [02:28] nope [02:29] any error messages? [02:29] I am looking to replace my MS Zune with something less shitty. Anyone know of a handhel media player that sync with Unbuntu? [02:29] it says my session lasted less than ten seconds try logging in with one of the failsafe sessions [02:30] manbreadj: log in that way [02:30] whats a gnome amarok equivalent? [02:30] manbreadj, have you already tried it with a vanilla xorg.conf? As root: Xorg -configure [02:30] manbreadj: and in the terminal: ls -l .ICEauthority [02:31] it wont let me. when i enter the usename and password i get the try failsafe session message [02:31] timn, i don't know what you mean [02:31] manbreadj: do you know how to switch to console? [02:31] manbreadj, go to Ctrl-Alt-F2 [02:31] ok im there [02:31] i hate how installing something simple like aim isn't easy to install [02:31] cntr-alt-fn2, i mean [02:32] manbreadj: log in there. [02:32] unless i just havn't tried yet [02:32] manbreadj, I think Xorg crashes just upon start that's why you get that failsafe session message.

[02:34] hi there [02:34] rTk^: yup [02:34] called what [02:34] is there still the bug with vista that sometimes renders the Vista install unbootable after shrinking it's partition and installing linux? [02:35] it said "-bash : -ls command not found" [02:35] Pidgin [02:35] is ettercap included with ubuntu? [02:35] yes username is lucas [02:35] manbreadj: ls -l .ICEauthority [02:35] ladislaio, I'm running ubuntu and viats on my laptop and haven't run into that problem [02:35] Hi, why is Firefox crashing all the time when playing Flash. Actually, it's not even able to play Flash most of the time. Should I ask in #firefox or does anyone know about this? I am guessing it's got to some sort of bug in Firefox. I really need Flash to play while developing websites. [02:35] manbreadj: output should look like something this: -rw------- 1 lucas lucas 25969 Jul 13 20:54 .ICEauthority [02:36] what is the right place for adding (per user) applications that need to start whenever a gnome session starts?

[02:36] yes i got that [02:36] manbreadj: output is like what i showed? [02:37] yes, different numbers but otherwise the same [02:37] manbreadj: ok. so we can eliminate that problem.

[02:39] thebuck86, infact i do not need the full diagram, only the parts list so i might replace a couple of condensers ;) [02:39] manbreadj: bah, scrap that. that only covers the ICEauthority problem, which you don't seem to have.

In Gnome I would use the panel applet, but that's not in Flux. [02:41] Um_cara_qualquer: torrentjunkie [02:41] got it xD [02:41] um_cara_qualquer: okay, for bulk, a bittorrent client. for individual songs, perhaps KCEasy, using the compiled code. [02:41] That's all I'm saying [02:41] uhum...

[02:41] !pirate [02:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about pirate [02:41] hehe [02:41] not for me [02:41] Um_cara_qualquer, There is a download client by Amazon. This enables you to download music completely legally. [02:42] hmm [02:42] mac9416_, install and run alsamixer in the terminal(unless ubuntu no longer uses alsa) [02:42] legaly... what's the fun on that [02:42] Lionyx: you might be able to get hi-res pictures of the card, perhaps?

I use deluge [02:43] thebuck86, this would probably work, i'll try to catch some of this on google [02:43] um_cara_qualquer: get torrent files from www.torrentz.com tis a torrent search engine.

[02:43] will this work with ubuntu ??? http://www.encore-usa.com/product_item.php?region=us&bid=2&pgid=119&pid=318 [02:43] um_cara_qualquer: im fairly certain they have .deb packages on the uTorrent site. [02:44] manbreadj: are you there? [02:44] so hp mini mi seems to have co-opted the gnome panel for its own uses. is there another way to access the gnome application menus? eg in kde you can view the start menu from within konqueror [02:44] humm [02:44] Kalmi: 32 bit OS. [02:44] ladislaio, open [02:44] I use wine as a last resort. Deluge works great [02:44] ladislaio, open drivers have generally worked fine. had issues with fglrx [02:44] yea [02:44] ladislaio, thanks, alsamixer worked, and managed to wake me up when the sound suddenly came on ;-) [02:44] manbreadj: the last link i posted seems more similar to your problem. [02:45] I don't like transmission personally [02:45] um_cara_qualquer: okay, they do not. i'll have to recall how i got uTorrent to work stand-alone in Jaunty. [02:45] ladislaio, things were fine, but recent updates have been problematic [02:45] these forums are going beyond my knowlege (which is not very far!)yea it seems like its getting warmer [02:45] i think the problem might be some stuff my son put on the computer, but i cant seem to remove anything [02:45] manbreadj: all they are suggesting to do is to delete some extra files to make space [02:45] mac9416_, you are welcome [02:46] ok [02:46] accidentally deleted blacklist.conf on a new install of Ubuntu server. can anybody tell me what the default contents are or where I can find them?

[04:46] cjtmr : thankyou i will wait [04:47] twig11: which one? === Twilo|away is now known as Twilo [04:47] adam7: http://pastebin.com/m4e0ac710 [04:47] twig11: that didn't come from network-manager; it came from iwevent [04:48] adam7: right. iwevent produced that output when I selected a network that was visible in network manager. And I know the network is working because that's how I'm connected on the laptop I'm talking to you on. [04:49] twig11: you're using ndiswrapper? [04:49] eka, is this your card http://www.hauppauge.com/html/usb_data.htm [04:49] adam7: yes [04:49] ctmjr: aah === vavoysh||afk is now known as vavoysh [04:49] DasEi: sorry about that [04:50] I have scripts that I want to be able to run as if they were in /bin. I set the $path=$path:/other/path but when I try to run the scripts , I cannot access them from every directory as I had hoped to. [04:50] vavoysh : lspci | grep audio [04:50] twig11: ndiswrapper, is, at best, a really bad way to get wireless cards working; I noticed your card isn't supported by a Linux driver, so that's probably your best bet, but you should consider getting a better-supported wireless card -- you can pick one up for about US$20 [04:50] ecret: the variable is PATH, all caps. set it in your .profile [04:51] ctmjr:happauge is my card [04:51] DasEi: i posted them in a pastebin before [04:51] DasEi: http://pastebin.com/m9c78355 [04:51] ecret: there shouldn't be a $ before the first PATH in your command.

[04:52] eka, they make lots of cards some work some don't you need to find the one you have or anything we try is not going to work [04:53] ecret: if you don't mind always having /other/path in your PATH, put that in your ~/.profile [04:53] EEoar: it answers your question; you asked if there is a wiki somewhere. [04:53] !enter > EEoar [04:53] EEoar, please see my private message [04:53] adam7: 1) wiki.ubuntu.com is for Ubuntu teams, and is not a documentation source. 2) Don't be unhelpful, please. [04:53] EEoar, the mountpoint should be rwx for everyone .. chmod 777 /mountpoint [04:53] EEoar: sorry, missed the first line [04:53] rww: default ubuntu [04:53] ecret: otherwise it will only be in your PATH in shells that are children of the one where you typed it. [04:53] rww: he put a line break in his question, I missed teh first part, my fault [04:53] that helps more, thanks... I'll try that [04:53] vavoysh : k, so an onbaord and a sounblaster, which you want use [04:53] ecret: sorry, I tabcompleted incorrectly. ignore that. [04:54] adam7: I know it CAN work, though, because I did have it running. doesn't it seem like I should be able to set it up via the command line? Is there something simple I don't know, such as having the device plugged in/not plugged in during certain steps of the configuration? The directions I followed here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Linksys_WUSB11v4_(ndiswrapper) didn't make that very clear. [04:54] EEoar: what filesystem format are you using on the mounted disc? [04:54] DasEi: i believe htat i've always been using the soundblaster [04:54] EEoar: /etc/fstab and then you can chmod the mount point I think [04:54] is there a command-line app that gives a snapshot of the system status? [04:54] vavoysh :sudo apt-get install alsamixergui [04:54] prince_jammys: yes. I will add to profile but right now I see it when I echo $PATH.

[04:55] adam7: I have it in /etc/fstab (I wish there was a disk utility like there is in WIndows (please don't shoot me) ) [04:55] EEoar: mount the disk and do sudo chmod -R 777 /path/to/mountpoint [04:55] vavoysh :does it show your s-card in the upper right corner ?

[06:02] you have to chmod smb.conf to get rights to config [06:02] jasonmchristos: Can you post the link? I caught the end of the discussion. [06:02] jasonmchristos: its iptables frontend/gui - its a decent tool. [06:03] Dr_Willis....under mine it says version:3.3.2smbd:not running nmbd:not running winbindd:running [06:03] mobi-sheep/ Dr_Willis: troll warning [06:03] jakerue: i did do a 'no no ' and just now enabled the root password - so i could actually do some config stuff with swat. thats proberly why its not instlled by default [06:03] mobi-sheep: i will try and look for it again i took the whole system down all i can remember was that it was some washington dc connection [06:03] jakerue: all i did was install samba , then followed that guide . swat is the only thing getting strted by xinted [06:04] twig11: tested it on my own card [06:04] I am using wvdial to connect to internet but failed to and getting garbage data ? [06:04] gogeta: great! [06:04] Dr_willis hmmmmm....well dunno....I have been having problems with sharing printers and browsing workgroups so I am looking deep into samba to get it working..... [06:05] I have a server + multiple clients , a router , switch , and multiple access points which share the internet , I wanna install ubuntu and windows operating systems over clients, but I want every client to load the session via the server, what you suggest me? [06:05] is there any way to start the "terminator (multi terminal)" with two terminals? [06:05] Is there an open source program that schedules physical resources? Like machinery in a production line? [06:05] mobi-sheep: i think it was trusted.lostinthe but i know it had lostinthe in the address [06:05] gogeta: can you send it on over? [06:05] jakerue: you mean 'nautilus' browsing samba shares/workgroups? or havingissues mountingthem [06:06] jasonmchristos: How do you determine that it was something in Washington DC? It could be the mirror you're connecting to for package update/upgrade. [06:06] jakerue: ive had big issues with the gnome file manager 'browsing' smb servers.. i often have to just enter the full path to the server/share the first thme.. then it starts workiong [06:06] jakerue: but i can mount the shares just fine. [06:06] mobi-sheep: there was more than one i just remember that one was from wash dc [06:07] mobi-sheep: so do you think firestarter will fix the problem? [06:07] pizza!!! [06:07] Dr_Willis - nautilus, I can't see any of the XP machine in my network or share printers....trying to see if it was Samba [06:07] how do i join a new channel? [06:07] jasonmchristos: Do you use openssh-server? [06:07] use /join [06:07] . /join #whatever [06:07] then the channel name [06:07] mobi-sheep: no but i was thinking about it [06:07] ^ [06:07] ./j #l;waberlejr [06:07] yee [06:07] gogeta: You there? [06:07] how do i get google talk on here [06:08] and can i play games such as counter strike [06:08] thanks! [06:08] jasonmchristos: I'm thinking you're taking the route of Occam's razor. [06:08] * lasehopesinyouu slaps mobi-sheep around a bit with a large trout [06:08] lasehopesinyouu: have u used pidgin? [06:08] for aim [06:08] mobi-sheep: whats that [06:08] jakerue: well good luck.its bed time for me, [06:08] Dr_Willis also curious if Samba can be in more than one workgroup...haven't found anything definitive on that [06:08] jasonmchristos: http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam%27s_razor [06:08] lasehopesinyouu, install wine [06:08] jakerue: thats somthingive never done.. try reading the books in the 'samba-doc' package perhaps. [06:08] i have it [06:08] lol [06:08] then install your games [06:09] ok [06:09] night... [06:09] Dr_Willis sure thanks.....may just uninstall and restart. Thanks agin [06:09] night [06:09] Gnimsh: i haven't been able to use googletalk with wine [06:09] also try virtualbox 3 [06:09] i don't use gtalk but in pidgin [06:09] mobi-sheep: how was i referring to this? [06:09] pidgin oughta be enough for anyone! :p [06:10] Gnimsh: i agree! [06:10] What is a 'Xapian index'? As in Synaptic: "update-apt-xapian-index" [06:10] talkin about pidgin, guifications fails here when adding new themes [06:10] new added themes not seen in theme list [06:10] anyone good with cams on ubunutu? [06:10] i don't use pidgin themes [06:11] the original pidgin is pretty as is [06:11] Gnimsh: not pidgin themes, but pidgin guification themes [06:11] Pubu: Please put in this channel a more specific question. [06:11] bullgard4: http://www.enricozini.org/sw/apt-xapian-index/ No idea what it means though [06:11] jasonmchristos: For example, you're claiming that somebody in Washington DC is hacking your computer without evidence. You can't supply us with any information. You have no hard evidence but you're acting on your paranoid unconditionally. When in reality, it could be simple as mirror or the same website you frequent often. [06:11] ok, what is the first thing i need to do to get Ubuntu to recognize my cam? [06:12] Pubu: try cheese [06:12] webcam? [06:12] mobi-sheep: and he has a wireless router with NAT enabled, which is an excellent incoming firewall... [06:12] digicam? [06:12] Pubu: i did not have to do anything, just plugged it in and it was detected! [06:12] mobi-sheep: i saw the connection ok, why does this group try so hard to convince people not to use firewalls [06:12] oh true [06:12] it has both on there [06:12] Pubu: mine is a Canon digicam [06:12] i have a creative , hp, and another [06:12] its a webcam, not digital camera [06:12] anyone ever try steam [06:12] what is a shortcut to minimize all windows and go to desktop? [06:12] jasonmchristos: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/security Meanwhile, I'll find you a good firewall tutorial. [06:13] cheese does not let me see the video [06:13] well that's not fair, it didn't detect my canon at all [06:13] exchanged it for a nokia [06:13] click ctrl+d [06:13] click: it's customizable [06:13] et [06:13] no camera found [06:13] click ctrl+alt+d I think [06:13] I wanna build up a pc pool lab for students and I need to have full control over clients, could you please share your ideas , what do I need to consider for this? [06:13] does anyone know why ian of debian said that ubuntu is not meeting free software requirements? [06:13] hi all - wireless problem in 9.04 - install was great, Broadcom in my dell lappy perfect right away... now I can't get on wireless at all, even though I have an eeepc (on which I am typing now) 6 inches away and on NO PROBLEM [06:13] anyone here good with sed? I have a file with ip addresses followed by some counts in CSV notation, I want to strip the last octet but sed 's/\.[0-9]{1,3}\,/,/' isn't striping the last octet [06:13] I thought cheese was for webcams? [06:13] yes it just says no camera found [06:14] so the proximity of the eeepc dictates wifi connectivity? :p [06:14] maybe you can't make videos through your computer [06:14] losher: I am sorry. Your link is of no help: I found the same text in 3 other documents. One writer copies the text from another one. No original work. No explanation. -- Sorry. [06:14] jasonmchristos: he has a blog. check there. [06:14] how do i get a weather widget [06:14] brodymcd, you should download madwifi and install that [06:14] it usually makes broadcom work [06:14] Is there a way to get sound in Firefox on 9.04? I have tried evry solution i could find on Google, but nothing seems to work [06:14] jasonmchristos: ianmurdock.com [06:14] e-frame, thanks [06:14] Got networking problems, but they don't seem to just involve wireless. [06:14] prince_jammys: ok thanks i just thought maybe someone knew of tops [06:14] and change the look of my bars on top and the bottom of the screen [06:15] lasehopesinyouu, for the widget, install screenlets [06:15] gnimsh - where to get madwifi? I ask because I will have to take lappy away to wired place, then come back and thank you when it works! :) [06:15] I plugged an Ethernet cable into my laptop and the modem, which has always worked before, but not now. [06:15] message144: what plugins have you installed in firefox? [06:15] google it [06:15] angel_: I think the best setup is to netboot them from a server so any local changes can be wiped out with a reboot. Otherwise they'll end up full of porn & god knows what else... [06:15] click: customize your keyboard shortcuts in system>preferences>keyboard shortcuts [06:15] what about themes [06:15] jasonmchristos: probably because non-free drivers come bundled with ubuntu, is my guess. [06:15] lasehopesinyouu: system>preferences>appearance [06:15] do i need to restart ubuntu in order for it to detect a cam/camera? [06:15] bullgard4: sorry, but it's clearly debian related. Maybe you can ask on #debian? [06:16] www.gnome-look.org for more themes [06:16] glitsj16: I installed the flash plugin which didnt work.. Then i tried gnash with mplayer plugin and gstreamer [06:16] hello! [06:16] message144, go to adobe's homepage and download flash for ubuntu 8.04+ [06:16] hoping you have 32 bit [06:16] for screnlets do i download the source/ [06:16] no [06:16] losher: It has implications to ubuntu, too. I will give it a try in #debian. -- Thank you. [06:16] what ubuntu are you running? [06:16] Gnimsh: Yes I did that [06:16] i just installed ubuntu 9 desktop version and i would like to say it's really awesome and so much better than when i tried to install 8 server edition and got frustrated setting up the networking.. good work linuxers [06:16] I just installed an old PCI sound card and booted up.. it wasn't recognized, but is listed in dmesg in the boot messages... is there some tool I need to run to make it figure out which module to load to create the alsa device? [06:16] Gnimsh: 9.04 [06:17] Gnimsh: although its not just flash. No sound is working at all in FF [06:17] To be COMPLETELY honest, I'm not even sure it's an Ubuntu problem -- I switched over to Vista and it couldn't connect to the Internet. Just the house network. And I don't think either of the other computers are having problems. [06:17] Gnimsh: ogg isnt working either [06:17] lasehopesinyouu, screenlets can be installed from synaptic [06:18] message144: well, in any case, make sure you only have one flash related plugin active, odd that flashplugin-installer didn't work though ... any informative error messages when you run firefox from terminal? [06:18] alternatively you can add a weather widget to your panels [06:18] just right click and search [06:18] duvnell: you may need a driver. I would try googling the card model number + ubuntu & see what turns up... [06:18] I stopped using widgets cuz of that [06:18] how do i make jaunty's notification system NOT tell me about who is online/offline for pidgin? [06:18] message144, is your sound set up to use pulseaudio by default, or alsa? [06:18] glitsj16: No error messages. My guess is that FF is using the wrong soundcard, because I am using Loigitech USB headphones [06:18] Gnimsh: I am not sure [06:18] also, maybe make sure eveything's not muted (I know, I know, but I like to check simple things) [06:19] My other sound works [06:19] hi === nabeel is now known as Guest54375 [06:19] Gnimsh: all other sound on my comp works [06:19] gnimsh: ummm... that says it is for Atheros - I have Broadcom... and it looks tough to install... I'm not yet that savvy - your advice? [06:19] arooni-mobile: Plugins. [06:19] says i ahve screenlets [06:20] where's the file for it lol [06:20] mobi-sheep, i need more instructions than that [06:20] twig11: had to perfect it [06:20] message144, i found this on google http://clararaubertas.net/blog/no-sound-in-firefox-in-jaunty-solved/ [06:20] twig11: was running to quick lol [06:20] brodymcd, I'd say its worth a shot, and its very simple [06:20] you extract it to your home directory [06:20] open a terminal [06:20] cd "folder name" [06:20] sudo make [06:21] sudo make install [06:21] Gnimsh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:21] gogeta: Okay fine [06:21] oops [06:21] gogeta: you guys are amazing. [06:21] my t61 volume keys make the volume dialog come up on jaunty, but they adjust the Mic channel, not Master... how do i fix? [06:21] Gnimsh: i tried that with no luck [06:21] where are the screenlets located [06:21] could someone help me figure out why on a fresh install of ubuntu 9.0x home or whatever it's called, i dont have permission to run apt-get from a terminal? can i just give myself root powers somehow [06:21] twig11: you just edit it in any text edtor and put your ssid and key in [06:21] gogeta: sure [06:21] twig11: then sudo ./connect [06:22] ill upload it [06:22] okay [06:22] wrb123: bad idea. just use sudo, eg: sudo apt-get install some_package [06:22] oh okay thank you [06:22] gnimsh - sorry to say - madwifi.org has errors wherever I click links [06:22] is that SUper user DO something basically? [06:22] wrb123: that gives you temporary root privileges [06:22] to start a hibrentated laptop, do i hit any key or is it the start botton? [06:22] and i tried to install counter strike it says currupt [06:22] cool, thanks prince_jammys [06:22] I am using wvdial to connect to internet but failed to and getting garbage data ?

Thank you.

[06:29] mobi-sheep, do you know the name of the offending plugin? [06:29] gogeta: wow that's really simple. I could do that couldn't I? Wow. [06:29] arooni-mobile: Hold. [06:29] zetanuxi, i use it a bit [06:29] hey im trying to use ventrilo through virtual box, audio set and working, my microphone is a logitech usb microphone (off guitar hero . . . . dont judge me xD ) anyway, the birtual box is running windows xp and it cant see the usb microphone, anyone have any experience with it? [06:29] Gnimsh: what OS did you install on it? [06:29] to start a hibrentated laptop, do i hit any key or is it the start botton? [06:29] ubuntu 9.04 [06:29] Anyone know why wireless networking would work in a fresh Ubuntu 9.04 install on a Dell E1505 laptop, but everytime I reboot it starts out fast (500kb/s), and over the course of 30 mins gets slower and slower until it's only ~ 5kb/s [06:29] kaveh, make sure you have a usb controller installed on your VM [06:29] gnimsh: don't understand - wireless was working FINE out of the box, now it is being really stubborn! [06:29] arooni-mobile: Libnotify Popups 0.14 [06:30] mobi-sheep, you rock; thanks [06:30] Is it possible for networking, wireless AND wired, to just stop working? === kyppcgeek is now known as ALppcgeek [06:30] you installed jaunty IN virtualbox? [06:30] also right click the usb icon in VB bottom right and make sure its sending the usb device to your VM [06:30] no [06:30] arooni-mobile: No problem. You wouldn't learn anything if I didn't guide you right to the end. :) [06:30] I installed XP in virtualbox [06:30] brodymcd, oohhh [06:30] ^^ If I guided you [06:30] mobi-sheep, you taught me how to fish ;p [06:31] brodymcd, do you have an on/off switch for your wifi? Maybe it was hit accidentally turned off wireless [06:31] Gnimsh: okay, thats waht im trying to do. now midway through installation, the DVD drive stops responding [06:31] arooni-mobile: :) [06:31] gnimsh - i do, and it is on [06:31] what dvd drive, zetanuxi? [06:31] Gnimsh, wont installing windows xp include a usb controller? [06:31] and you've tried restarting? [06:31] Gnimsh: and i get a kernel panic [06:31] it should [06:31] otherwise how does any machine running xp play with usb [06:31] modprobe the wifi card [06:31] ok i was looking and the VM isnt even seeing usb's.. [06:31] kaveh, just make sure you have one [06:32] however my mouse is a usb mouse works [06:32] gnimsh - I can still see networks, and when I try to connect, it just tries forever and then fails. I have restarted... it isn't working [06:32] alppgeek - was that for me? modprobe? [06:32] after many kernel panics, my 2.7 kernel disappeared from GRUB.......... [06:32] I installed Ubuntu onto my second hard drive (used the entire drive), but my PC still boots into WinXP [06:33] I left the Grub installer to the default hd0 [06:33] exit [06:33] how do i restore it? [06:33] Anyone know why it's doing this? [06:33] wow this channel is very busy [06:33] Keranu, hd0 would be your first hdd, maybe that has something to do with it [06:33] keranu: configure GRUB to choose ubuntu by default [06:33] how is your menu.lst saying? [06:33] whats the best dock program for jaunty? [06:34] twig11: yep scripting is easy sleep delays it so it doesent do everything all at once [06:34] My first hdd is my Windows one, I figured that's where it would need to go [06:34] arooni-mobile: Gnome-Do or Cairo Dock IMO. [06:34] Grub doesn't boot up [06:34] It just goes straight to WinXP [06:34] gogeta: and the number following sleep is seconds? [06:34] hi! I have noticed that if I set my screensaver to show at 10 minutes, I cannot tell my display to poweroff until 11 minutes have passed. any way to avoid this and have my display turn off in say 5 minutes (under battery power)? [06:34] error number 2? [06:34] twig11: yep [06:34] gogeta: pretty slick [06:34] mobi-sheep, I'm gonna have to disagree [06:35] Is there any caveats to giving myself two hostnames? [06:35] hmm...when XP boots, edit the boot.ini file to add the Ubuntu drive on it [06:35] arooni-mobile and mobi-sheep I love cairo dock [06:35] do i need to do anything if i have a t61 and intel video card? http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_9.04_(Jaunty_Jackalope)_on_a_Thinkpad_T61 says that there are regressions [06:35] use version 1.6 if you have an ati card though [06:35] Gnimsh: .... [06:35] HI [06:35] twig11: scripts are just txt file with chmod +x to make it a script [06:36] mobi-sheep, I LOVE gnome-do, I do. But I don't use docky cuz I find it limiting, and I'm a left dock guy [06:36] <^Phantom^> I need help with Istanbul. When I try to record sound, it locks up. Every time. What can I do to remedy this? [06:36] can anyone help me? [06:36] i have a prob a quick google didnt help with [06:36] twig11: you can script any command set [06:36] <^Phantom^> I would like to be able to record sound. [06:36] gogeta: I can see that. [06:36] I've just downloaded a dropdown menu theme,How can I install it? [06:36] oh god I was about to quote they might be giants at you, ^Phantom^ [06:36] my eeepc left click wont work (including tap) [06:36] ook then [06:36] recording sound is easy [06:36] zetanuxi: What would I need to type in the boot.ini? [06:36] on cruncheee [06:36] assassin, is it a targ.gz file? [06:36] it would seem i dont have a usb controlelr [06:36] :o [06:36] Gnimsh: I did said Cairo Dock. Either way. It benefits more when you're using both (gnome-do, not gnome-do-docky). [06:36] twig11: i mean any lol dont wanna make a system killer [06:36] ah ok [06:36] can anyone help me with this kernel phenomenon? [06:36] yes [06:37] yessss [06:37] mobi-sheep, then I apologize for ignoring you when you mentioned cairodock. and now I agree with you as well [06:37] anyone have Redeon 9000 ? i have a low graphics mode issue, its loading the driver fine, very weird [06:37] keranu: boot.ini is the bootloader for windows. you need to point it to the boot sector on the ubuntu drive. [06:37] I have boot.ini opened now [06:37] but the theme manager said it isn't a usable tar.gz file [06:37] kaveh, thanks for looking :p :) [06:37] I'm looking for a little help with automating my install. Can anyone here help me? [06:38] Gnimsh thanks for making me look xD, i would never have thought i dont have one :O [06:38] Would I just need a line that says "multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\LINUX="Ubuntu Linux" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect" [06:38] ? [06:38] gogeta: What I wish is that there were a way to make a script like that that a standard user could launch by just clicking an icon, but with sudo it would have to have an admin password anyway so it wouldn't work. Other people use this computer a lot and they don't want to mess with the command line. [06:38] !automate | Shazburg [06:38] Shazburg: Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning [06:38] Gnimsh, did you get the dock themes some place? [06:38] arooni-mobile I use one of the default ones [06:38] lemme see [06:39] Gnimsh, do you use it instead of bottom dock? [06:39] yes [06:39] Gnimsh: Never used Cairo Dock myself but I test-drive AWN. It was terrible. :P [06:39] A bot, eh? Not gonna cut it, ubottu. [06:39] ya I hated awn [06:39] ok I can't tell which theme I use without changing all of em [06:39] gogeta: I got disconnected there. don't know if you answered. [06:39] eh...20yrs and I'm learning the FOIL method..jeesh [06:39] but its just a plain blackish-gray type thing [06:39] Gnimsh, how do you get it to just display current apps; not launch apps [06:40] twig11: testing are you [06:40] i'm sure that's a plugin, arooni-mobile. lemme look [06:40] mobi-sheep: Actually, I have my preseed working. Everything is great. I just need to turn off the language prompt when the installer menu first loads, so it can timeout and move on to my default. [06:40] twig11: you can click on it and slect run in termel [06:41] gogeta: no :-) I still haven't transferred over to the ubuntu machine. [06:41] I'm in this chat room on my laptop. [06:41] twig11: it will have the same effect [06:41] twig11: it can be done, but I think you have to compile a C program, make it setuid root, and then have the program invoke the script.... [06:41] arooni-mobile, you have way too many tab complete names [06:41] anyway, right click the dock and go to config [06:41] click the advanced button [06:41] Shazburg: That's great. I don't know the answer to that. Sorry. [06:41] omg i just found out im human [06:42] * mobi-sheep test-drive cairo-dock. [06:42] mobi-sheep: Thanks for trying. [06:42] twig11: ifconfig whont let you toss it into binary mode or i woulda make it a click and run [06:42] arooni-mobile, then choose the taskbar tab on the left. Check the box to display applications [06:42] lol [06:42] iceblock: lol it's never too late to discover that [06:42] then just drag off all your shortcuts and they'll disappear [06:42] hi. I need help with power management settings. [06:42] Gnimsh, i see; what other settings do you reccomend? [06:42] none [06:42] I hate having my apps in my dock [06:42] gogeta: It's fine. my hope is that I won't even need it that often. [06:43] dock is for shortcuts, panel is for apps [06:43] Gnimsh, how do you switch between apps? [06:43] heh [06:43] alt+tab/mouse/scale and expose [06:43] if no one in the irc channel is going to help, where should I ask? [06:43] con sequencer never seems to work why??? [06:43] ac13, ask your question in more detail [06:43] I did earlier: [06:43] twig11: slecting run in termel when you click it should work fine [06:43] Gnimsh, oh goodies they fixed scale in jaunty; [06:44] hi! I have noticed that if I set my screensaver to show at 10 minutes, I cannot tell my display to poweroff until 11 minutes have passed. any way to avoid this and have my display turn off in say 5 minutes (under battery power)? [06:44] I've been using it for a while [06:44] 11 minutes seems to be the lowest I can make mine go as well [06:44] gogeta: right, but it will still ask for a password, right? [06:44] yes [06:44] I asked my question a couple of times a while back, too. [06:44] sorry to sound rude btw. I'm just a bit tired. and it seems like I get lost in the crowd... [06:44] gogeta: should work\ [06:44] I removed the /bin/bash of Ubuntu by mistake,and I put a bash used by Arch in /bin,Will it cause any serious problems? [06:44] no problem I've been there, ac13 [06:44] twig11: any program nedding sudo will [06:44] even gui ones [06:44] Gnimsh: I think Cairo-Dock need a better __default__ theme. [06:45] gogeta: that's what I thought [06:45] vote: should i rip robocop next or princess bride??? [06:45] ? [06:45] ac13: gnome or kde? [06:45] gnome [06:45] sb. help me? [06:45] assassin: no way to tell. I would reinstall bash asap if I were you... [06:45] iceblock: Princess Bride. Either way, take the discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic [06:45] Gnimsh, how do i launch cairo-dock outside a terminal so it always runs? [06:45] Gnimsh, what do you put in your doc? [06:46] assassin: can you reinstall from apt? [06:46] arooni-mobile, go to system, preferences, startup applications [06:46] from apt? [06:46] add it in there [06:46] Gnimsh, i did; but i dont wanna restart right now [06:46] assassin: synaptic. system->administrators->synaptic? I dunno. just a guess [06:46] otherwise it installs to either apps>system tools or accessories [06:46] ac13: you could try ##gnome next... [06:46] or alt+f2 cairo-dock [06:46] twig11: well that should not be a problem for other users unless they restart the pc [06:47] gogeta: right [06:47] i reinstalled from apt,nothing happend [06:47] twig11: as long as wifi radar works you whont need it [06:47] losher: thanks I'll try that [06:47] arooni-mobile, I only put my most used programs in my dock [06:47] gogeta: I hope it does. I have it installed [06:47] it says every pack is latest [06:47] is ext4 100% stable ? [06:48] echosystm: nothings 100% [06:48] Gnimsh, how do you show desktop if you get rid of bottom bar? [06:48] assassin: you need to *reinstall* e.g. apt-get install --reinstall bash [06:48] echosystm: ext4 is still under testing [06:48] gogeta: is there any way network-manager could interfere if it's trying to connect on startup? [06:48] i'll try it [06:48] echosystm: it's unclear if ext4 is 100% stable. I would stick to ext3 for a couple more releases... [06:48] ok [06:49] bottom bar of the dock? [06:49] Gnimsh, so you only put apps that you want to launch? not currently running apps? [06:49] well there's a show desktop button on the panel, right next to the divider. [06:49] twig11: it shouldent being the script brings it down first [06:49] right [06:49] also scale allows me to click on the destop [06:49] but I hate doing that [06:49] successful completed [06:49] Gnimsh, uh i dont see the show desktop button ;p [06:49] assassin: so did it work? [06:49] anyone have Redeon 9000 ? i have a low graphics mode issue, its loading the open source driver fine, but not working correctly [06:50] yeah [06:50] gogeta: okay. will wifi radar conflict with network-manager in any way? [06:50] assassin: cool... [06:50] thanks ,thank 4 everyone [06:50] hah [06:50] twig11: it brings down the card down flushes dhclient and brings it all back up [06:51] twig11: oh you got network manager back well use that [06:51] my argument for my friend who uses windows to switch is that at least when linux breaks its because I broke it, and not some random accident [06:51] her laptop running XP had some random error causing a BSOD on boot [06:51] gogeta: so far I've never connected successfully with network-manager. That's why I'm hoping it isn't actually part of the problem. [06:51] lol [06:52] bsod [06:52] ya [06:52] twig11: your cards a odd one [06:52] I fixed it for her [06:52] "at least when linux breaks its because I broke it, and not some random accident" <-- Networking being the exception? [06:52] she was going to mail it in [06:52] Horwitz1, obviously you broke it :p [06:52] I fixed her laptop in like 20 minutes [06:52] anyone have an alfa 500mw and care to discuss the ease of setup? [06:52] gogeta: must be. It was very reliable on xp, it seems. [06:53] twig11: yea you tryed wifi radar and didnt work [06:53] I can't even figure out what the problem is here. [06:53] twig11: heck just dhclient -r wlan0 should make any gui work [06:53] i've to leave, bye,comrades(just for kidding)! [06:53] what are you trying to do Horwitz1? [06:53] gogeta: yeah, but remember NOTHING was working then, not even the command line. [06:53] Lemme scroll up to what I said before... [06:53] to start a hibrentated laptop, do i hit any key or is it the start botton? [06:54] twig11: well i didnt think dhclient was the issue it was [06:54] "Got networking problems, but they don't seem to just involve wireless. I plugged an Ethernet cable into my laptop and the modem, which has always worked before, but not now." [06:54] "To be COMPLETELY honest, I'm not even sure it's an Ubuntu problem -- I switched over to Vista and it couldn't connect to the Internet. Just the house network. And I don't think either of the other computers are having problems." [06:54] twig11: by your pastbin after you did that it started taking commands [06:54] gogeta: earlier dhclient -r wlan0 wasn't helping. I'd enter my essid and key after that and iwconfig would show no essid entered at all. [06:54] byes [06:55] twig11: so what did you do [06:55] twig11: by your pastebin you took the card down cleaned dhclient and brought it all back up and wala [06:56] Horwitz1, do you get wifi connectivity? [06:57] twig11: well lets hope whatever you did sticks [06:57] hello [06:58] gogeta: The only other thing I know I changed was as near as I can remember right before that final dhclient -r wlan0. Look at this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Linksys_WUSB11v4_(ndiswrapper) End of step 6. /etc/network/interfaces. it didn't work until I changed wireless-essid to essid and wireless-key1 to key. Could that have been the issue? [06:59] It's picking up the network fine. It's just that when I try to CONNECT, it doesn't work. [06:59] Hi, I'm having some trouble mounting a disk. [06:59] I've tried the google, but to no avail, so far. [06:59] hmmm [07:00] For some reason it isn't showing up in fdisk. [07:00] horwitz, can you describe this in like, less than 10 words? [07:00] how do i intall my web cam its A4tech [07:00] Does anybody have any thoughts? [07:00] can anybody provide me a sample xsession? [07:00] I should add, it's an NTFS disk from a friend's laptop mounted with one of those adapter things. [07:00] mlissner, did you try gparted? [07:00] Gnimsh: yeah, doesn't showup [07:01] is it unmounted? [07:01] does it have power? etc silly things easily missed [07:01] Gnimsh: It would be in fdisk if so, right? [07:01] Gnimsh: Network detected, both wired and wireless, but not connecting. [07:01] how do i intall my web cam its A4tech [07:01] Gnimsh: It has power, and is spinning. [07:01] probably, I don't use that as much [07:02] gogeta: Crazy. I just rebooted and tried to launch wifi-radar from the menu. I get this error: Could not launch Wifi-radar; Failed to execute child process "su-to-root" (No such file or directory) What's that about? [07:02] twig11: man that card hates guis [07:03] twig11: well try my little script sudo ./connect [07:03] So no other thoughts ubuntu crowd? [07:03] I gotta get this thing connected somehow. [07:03] It'd be really bad if I lost it. [07:03] gogeta: okay I gotta transfer it over [07:03] twig11: make shure your in the same dir the scripts in [07:03] gogeta: yep [07:04] mlissner, add the disk mounter applet to your panel [07:04] hey.. [07:04] see if any disks show up there [07:04] probably also run through fdisk or some such but worth a shot [07:04] mlissner: what kind of 'adapter thing' are we talking about... [07:04] anyone knows how to add more Microsoft font into Ubuntu? [07:04] and try accessing it through a live cd on the host system [07:04] Cryptorchild, sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts [07:04] Gnimsh: I already have that applet. So far, no evidence of any action. [07:05] losher: It's one of those USB --> SATA adapers? [07:05] Gnimsh, and what about font we download from internet? [07:05] custom font actually [07:05] dunno about that at all [07:05] mlissner: if you run dmesg in a terminal, does it say anything about seeing the drive? [07:05] mlissner, curious. I'd second the question about the type of adapter [07:06] hey people anybody ever got this "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found." [07:06] gogeta: bummer. same results as before I got it working [07:06] ok - back again, sorry - can someone please help explain this - Ubuntu 9.04 works with my Dell lappy wifi (Broadcom) out of the box, then within 48 hours now has just stopped connecting? This happened before, then I dropped back to 8.10, now back to 9.04 and thought all was well... what is going on? [07:06] i think i have all the codecs [07:06] losher: yeah, dmesg reports the following relevant stuff: [105284.937238] usb 2-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 111 [07:06] [105285.070668] usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [07:06] [105285.072236] scsi8 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices [07:06] [105285.072599] usb-storage: device found at 111 [07:06] [105285.072605] usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning [07:06] mlissner: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:06] [105290.073982] usb-storage: device scan complete === cwek_imoetzzz is now known as cwek_muanizzzzzz [07:07] gogeta: the script worked fine but dhclient can't connect. [07:07] Sorry, floodbot hates me. [07:07] mlissner: you need to use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste more than a couple of lines. I still don't see a device name allocated.... [07:07] twig11: maye its to fast [07:08] twig11: type iwconfig to make shure the ssid took [07:08] losher: yeah, wasn't sure what the threshold was...it seems to give it sdb, I think, but that doesn't seem to get me anywhere. [07:08] mlissner, what about accessing the hdd with a livecd from the computer it lives in? [07:09] gogeta: no essid. just like before. When I was typing all those commands by hand it did the same thing. [07:09] mlissner: where does it say sdb. It's not in what you pasted... [07:09] humm [07:09] twig11: gimmie that pasbin url again [07:09] losher: it says, [sdb] Attached SCSI disk [07:09] twig11: maybe i missed something [07:09] gogeta: I don't think I kept it. [07:09] Gnimsh: that /might/ work, I guess....hadn't tried that yet. [07:10] ill see f its i my history [07:10] What's the command to upgrade a program? I want VLC 1.0. [07:10] mlissner: ok, what does sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb say? [07:10] Andorin: I think it's done with apt-get. [07:11] gogeta: http://pastebin.com/m3cb6a0eb That should be it [07:11] Oh, it says vlc is already the newest version. I guess 1.0 isn't in the repositories yet. [07:11] twig11: just try the script again [07:11] twig11: looks right [07:12] losher: Nothing relevant, i think: http://paste.ubuntu.com/217598/ [07:12] gogeta: if I click and select Run in Terminal it doesn't matter where I am, right? [07:12] twig11: shouldent [07:12] I know you will yell at me for this, but I did some quick google search and I can't find the answers... how can I create a new group, add people to that group, and check what groups a user is a part of [07:12] mlissner: not what I asked for. I want to see fdisk -l /dev/sdb [07:12] <``y7> i know this is a debian question, but nobody is responding in there... can anybody help me out with this one in here? I'm trying to boot debian off of a USB drive (debian-live-501-amd64-gnome-desktop.img) and when it boots up, i get an error saying that the "Filesystem type is fat, partition type 0x6"... how can i go about solving this issue? Thanks. [07:12] Horwitz1, i googled your problem [07:12] gogeta: same results [07:13] losher: my bad. I haven't run that command yet...should I do that, or should I do the suggestion about a live CD? I have a live CD I quickly put to work? [07:13] ``y7, maybe you can format the usb drive to ext3 or something in gparted, and then try it...though that shouldn't be needed [07:14] mlissner: if you haven't booted the live cd yet, no harm in trying fdisk -l /dev/sdb [07:14] <``y7> Gnimsh, i get the same problem when i attempt to install debian 5.01 onto the hdd.... the installation goes fine, it reboots, has me take the cd out, and then booting up, i get the same problem... [07:14] Gnimsh: ext2 is better for usb, less write cycles [07:14] ah interesting [07:14] hi.. how do i install php 5.3 on hardy heron? [07:14] <``y7> my only linux machine is the one i'm trying to get up right now ;( [07:14] twig11: ok sudo iwconfig essid "ssid" sleep 5 sudo iwconfig [07:14] losher: in that case, hang on a tick, I had actually started the boot before you had asked that last one... [07:14] why not try ubuntu instead, ``y7? [07:14] oops [07:15] <``y7> Gnimsh, i was using ubuntu, but i ran into issues with it... same computer [07:15] hi... my thunderbird shows tdates in the message list as "Monday, July 13, 2009 09:39 AM", but I want a simple 09:39 2009/07/13 instead. How can I change the format? Anyhow I do not understand why it's US format (AM/PM) when the OS is all 24 hrs format... [07:15] ``y7: does the cd pass self check? [07:15] twig11: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "ssid" [07:15] mlissner: never mind. You'll end up running it when the live cd boots anyway... [07:15] <``y7> ActionParsnip, i don't know how to check that [07:15] ``y7: did you burn the cd slowly [07:15] <``y7> ActionParsnip: how can i check that for you? [07:15] twig11: maybe the card cant do both at once [07:15] ``y7: on first boot screen select check cd for defects [07:15] <``y7> ActionParsnip, i don't know your definitely of slowly, but it was 30x [07:16] after login, my screen is whole white [07:16] ``y7: you should also md5 check all iso files you download [07:16] losher: OK, I'm actually running a live USB drive, and it's booted, with fdisk recognizing the disk. [07:16] how can i solve this problem [07:16] ``y7: bun as slow as the meia will allow, 8x is advised, 4x if you can [07:16] Gnimsh: And? [07:16] <``y7> ActionParsnip, i'll give it a shot. thanks for the help [07:16] twig11: and sudo iwconfig [07:16] hi.. how do i install php 5.3 on hardy heron? [07:16] not much luck :( [07:16] I guess I need NTFS-3g tools, and then I can mount the drive? [07:16] ``y7: try turnng hardware off in bios too [07:17] can only use tty1-tty6 [07:17] mlissner: you need to download the ntfs tools next, then you should be able to mount it [07:17] ``y7: and press f6 on the first boot screen to disable apic acpi and dma [07:17] I'm currently in HP tech support, too. [07:17] is there any program in ubuntu that visits a URL once?

[07:18] lof == log [07:18] gogeta: It simply doesn't retain the essid: off/any [07:18] Gnimsh: Comcast, I think. And I already did. Why? [07:18] gogeta: just crazy [07:18] billenium: do you mean wget? curl? 'lynx -dump' ? [07:18] hsu: its a known ut with nvidia cards, there is a way to get it sorted. i am just not sure how [07:19] to start a hibrentated laptop, do i hit any key or is it the start botton? [07:19] <``y7> ActionParsnip, it actually has all of those issues with the usb drive... so do i need to re-burn the cd still? [07:19] ??? [07:19] ActionParsnip: thanks [07:19] losher: ill try some of them thanks :) [07:19] ``y7: check the iso with md5 sum, you may have a bad file [07:19] but no, not like wget [07:20] losher: is there any clever mount arguments I need to use to mount ntfs? [07:20] Hey need some help here [07:20] ``y7: then burn slowly and then boot to the cd, then run the self test [07:20] <``y7> k, ty [07:20] ``y7: if its ok, try a boot. if not use boot options [07:20] ~ask | zomation [07:20] twig11: try sudo ndiswrapper -m [07:20] !ask | zomation [07:20] zomation: 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. :-) [07:20] twig11: then the script [07:21] gogeta: now I'm completely flummoxed. I typed the whole string of commands in again and it worked. [07:21] gogeta: without sudo ndiswrapper -m [07:21] twig11: so the scripts to fast [07:21] I have a toshiba satellite computer with a 802.11b/g wireless card and i can't connect to the internet [07:21] billenium: then I guess you need to describe your requirements more fully... [07:21] i have ubuntu 8 [07:21] twig11: change sleep 5 to 10 on all of them [07:21] gogeta: AND I'm typing it too fast some of the time? [07:22] gogeta: Because it doesn't always work when I do it manually. [07:22] twig11: no the script was orignal to fast for my pc [07:22] hello? [07:22] zomation: do you see ssid's if you run: sudo iwconfig scan [07:22] twig11: i slowed it down maybe you need it slower [07:22] Is there a binary out for Firefox 3.5? [07:22] mlissner: no, just try mounting it. I can't remember if it will autodetect the mount type... [07:22] Or a .deb, rather? [07:22] opps losher [07:22] i lied... wget worked fine... [07:22] only eithernet [07:23] fccf: Hello again! [07:23] wget always works fine [07:23] i think its a driver problem but i don't know a solution [07:23] zomation: just because no one replys does not give you warrant to start bugging with "hello" [07:23] billenium: cool... [07:23] Andorin: firefox-3.5 [07:23] hehe... its just what i do... [07:23] Andorin: apt-get install firefox-3.5 [07:23] gogeta: What I'm saying is if it is a speed issue, does it actually need to run slow enough that I would have to slow down even if I'm entering it by hand? hard to believe but entering it by hand doesn't always work, so if speed is the issue... [07:23] losher: OK, I think it worked. [07:23] Shazburg: Thx. [07:23] zomation: we help or free here so we do our best, simply ask then wait a while, then re-ask [07:23] mlissner: df -h will confirm the mount [07:23] twig11: once you change sleep save it and run it agin see if all is well then [07:24] zomation: ok can you use pastebin to provide the output of: [07:24] zomation: sudo lshw -C network [07:24] Ya im in vista now [07:24] can't do that [07:24] Andorin: You bet. It sits alongside your existing 3.0 install. I opted to leave 3.0 alone and manually relink firefox to firefox-3.5. [07:24] zomation: then run: sudo lshw -C neywork > ~/output.txt [07:25] did that before and got unclaimed [07:25] I am having issues with sound on my USB Headset. Along with Flash Sound. [07:25] zomation: and copy the file to usb [07:25] zomation: i don't need that line, i want what the chip is [07:25] brb [07:25] Shazburg: How is 3.5, in your opinion? [07:25] zomation: use a wired connection until you get on your feet [07:25] Andorin: You'll see it as "Shiretoko" in your gnome menus. [07:25] zomation: its way easier [07:25] Andorin: Same as 3.0, only more so. [07:25] hi.. how do i install php 5.3 on hardy heron? [07:25] Hi guys, do you think I can trust Ubuntu 9.04 to resize an ntfs partition without losing the data on it? [07:26] Shazburg: What the? It's Shiretoko web browser now? [07:26] ESphynx, think so [07:26] ESphynx: Make the backup first. [07:26] mobi-sheep I'd have to somehow get samba working and transfer 40 gb to get the backup done so... if the chances of success are > 90% ... [07:27] ESphynx: No big deal. I backed up 200GB today. :3 [07:27] Andorin: That's the project name for it at Mozilla. The firefox-3.5 package hasn't been rebranded. Debian and Mozilla are having a pissing match, so it's up to the Ubuntu guys to put the branding back. [07:27] how do i make the following command run when my gnome session starts up in ubuntu 9.04 [07:27] i'm mostly worried about some dome GUI code not actually saving the data [07:27] xrdb -load .Xdefaults [07:27] twig11: the script was to fast orignaly just change the sleep commands to 10 [07:27] gogeta: woohoo. Works again. and I have an embarrassing confession to make which I will introduce with the dislaimer that it's 1:30 am here. Up until this last time I had forgotten to edit your script with my info. no wonder. [07:27] Shazburg: Alright. How do I manually link 3.5 to the firefox command? [07:28] Shazburg: What pissing match? o.O [07:28] twig11: lLOLOLOLOLOL [07:28] twig11: -1 [07:28] i'm having trouble with my laptop network (both wired and wireless) yesterday i booted up, wired worked just fine, wireless doesn't. today i boot up, wired doesn't work and wireless locks the whole laptop (nothing responds, have to press and hold power button for +4seconds to shutdown) the drivers all work, because it has connected to a wireless network on saturday (not mine though, but similar setup, just different router/password) [07:28] hi.. how do i install php 5.3 on hardy heron? [07:28] gogeta: Thanks a million. I'm going to bed now. [07:29] Andorin: sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/firefox-3.5 /usr/bin/firefox [07:29] ok im back :P, my windows xp guest in VM has usb controllers, my virtualbox has usb enabled, has a filter for a logitech microphone all good... and still it does not see the microphone (the usb icon says "no usb attached" - anyone have any ideas? [07:29] Shazburg: Thank you. :) [07:29] Spad-XIII: instead run: sudo /etc/init/d/networking stop; sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart; sleep 5; sudo /etc/init.d/networking start [07:29] mobi-sheep: It has to do with Mozilla changing the license for the Firefox name and logos. Technically, it's no longer free. Debian don't play that, so now they call it "IceWeasel". [07:29] Spad-XIII: hard shutdowns arent good for your hardware [07:29] Andorin: You bet. [07:30] ActionParsnip: i know, but nothing responds, not the mouse, not even numlock .. [07:30] Spad-XIII: can you ssh in? [07:30] ActionParsnip: it doesn't have network :) [07:31] Spad-XIII: i'd get an output of dmesg, one when wifiworks, one when wired works, and comare [07:31] Spad-XIII: I'd check your ram [07:32] ActionParsnip: i've never had wifi work at my place .. it keeps asking about the wpa2-password or locks up .. [07:32] mobi-sheep: You can get more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IceApe [07:32] Shazburg: Thanx. === Twilo|away is now known as Twilo [07:32] Spad-XIII: check your hard drive from live cd too with fsck [07:32] hi.. how do i install php 5.3 on hardy heron/8.04? [07:32] ActionParsnip: just ran your commands, but it won't connect the wired network .. yesterday i had no problems at all.. [07:33] adam7: heh that was fun -1 for forgetting to edit [07:33] lol [07:33] amitprakash_: apt-cache search php | grep 5.3 [07:33] is there an option for the 'top' command to see both my processors? [07:33] amitprakash_: if that yields no clues: apt-cache search php | less [07:34] ActionParsnip, err.. its not there in the standard repos yet [07:34] Spad-XIII: i'd get your ram and drive/s checked, make sure they are healthy [07:34] ActionParsnip, i only see 5.2.4 in the repo [07:34] amitprakash_: err.. i don't know that [07:34] ActionParsnip: i'm booting from live usb now .. [07:34] amitprakash_: then you need a PPA with it on, or compile source [07:34] ActionParsnip, :) which is why i specifically asked for a version =) [07:35] amitprakash_: i'm sorry i do not know what version number every package on the official repos is currently at. i will revise later.... [07:35] When you assign a Static Ip/gateway via the GUI. Where is the data kept? My /etc/network/interfaces didn't change. [07:35] ActionParsnip, :/ [07:35] ActionParsnip: but they should be allright .. i've been running windows on it since i bought it earlier this year without problems or lockups .. the lockup only happens when it tries to connect to my wireless and only since this last week [07:35] time for bed [07:35] How do you enable Compiz? [07:35] gnight everyone, and good luck! [07:35] I'm new to Ubuntu... :D === sean is now known as Guest60983 [07:36] topher, install ccsm from synaptic [07:36] Gnimsh, mind giving me a link? [07:36] Spad-XIII: lol wanna a text mode [07:36] also go to system>preferences>appearances and then the effects tab [07:36] I wold appreciate it! [07:36] :D [07:36] Hey im back with my results from the sudo command. [07:36] Jar_: if the system is to always use static IP, i'd use the interfaces file and uninstall network manager, makes your system boot faster and run less processes [07:36] its in synaptic you don't need a link [07:36] ActionParsnip: lol, i boot up from live-usb and the wired network works just fine .... [07:36] should i just paste it in [07:36] !compiz | topher_ [07:36] topher_: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [07:36] system>administration>package manager [07:36] search for ccsm === Guest60983 is now known as zomation [07:36] Spad-XIII: then check its dmesg as well as the output of: sudo lsh -C network [07:37] Spad-XIII: see how it differsto the installed system [07:37] Is there a key code I have to use to make it switch? [07:37] topher_, also in system>prefs>appearance go to the effects tab and choose what kind of effects you want [07:37] switch like the cube? [07:37] Spad-XIII: try iwconfig wlan0 essid "yourssid" key "yorkey" [07:37] ActionParsnip: Thanks. I am having trouble with a box of mine. I got a tech to install it for me. He used the GUI to assign a static IP which killed my squid install. How can I uninstall the network manager but keep access to SSH open? [07:37] Spad-XIII: i'd also check your harddrive [07:37] sudo [07:37] Yeah [07:37] seandude@seandude-laptop:~$ sudo lshw -C network [07:37] *-network [07:37] description: Ethernet interface [07:37] product: RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller [07:37] vendor: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

[07:38] ActionParsnip: lsh -C network, using the live-usb says that lsh isn't installed .. how fun [07:38] Jar_: you will need to populate the interfaces file, then you can simply uninstall network manager like any other app [07:38] that's all I got, need to get some sleep [07:38] how to unlock apt database? ?? (no, there are no other applications currently accessing it) [07:38] zomation: ok great now you have something to search for [07:38] ActionParsnip: Ahh thanks for that. I will give that a crack.

[07:48] SmoKeyCastle: I'm afraid you'll have to get Vista out to view that file. You could install it inside VirtualBox. [07:49] ah :( thanks [07:49] mkelkar: i would look up that on google maybe someone has made a power mangment scrpit for it [07:49] bluejeans: Bob be with you, then.

[07:50] gogeta -- I found few posts.. but none of them seem to fix the issue [07:51] thanks Shazburg [07:51] yep [07:51] is it worth ugprading from 8.04 to 9.04 ?? [07:51] mkelkar: look in power settings maybe you can tweak it [07:51] <[R]> Frogzoo: well everytihng is a whole year newer [07:51] gogeta -- I use to have this issue on 8.10 and turned out to be nvidia drive issue [07:51] Frogzoo, Of course [07:51] i can use automatix [07:51] and I downgraded to 177 and it fixed it [07:52] Frogzoo: Depends on your needs. [07:52] sure sure, but for instance, 9.10 was considered more grief than benefit [07:52] mkelkar: oh the nivida fan is running [07:52] er 8.10 heh [07:52] mkelkar: maybe you can apply the same fix [07:52] 9.04 works fine [07:52] gogeta -- tried that [07:52] doesn't work [07:52] Frogzoo: I haven't had any problems with 9.04, buy ymmv.

[08:04] Conner: Yes. There are open source ones, as well as the official drivers from Nvidia. [08:04] mkelkar: heh in old ubuntu my c610 fan would just never turn on so i used i8k and a script to keep restting it a bios bug [08:05] mkelkar: now it works fine [08:05] gogeta -- let me give it a shot [08:05] will update you [08:05] Conner: If you are using Gnome, you can go to "System > Administration > Hardware Drivers" and it should automagically detect you have an NVidia card and offer you the official drivers to install. [08:06] OK, Well I have a NVIDIA GeForce 8200m graphics card. Everytime i install ubuntu and try to install it, ubuntu gives an error. [08:06] mkelkar: with any luck it supports your model :) [08:06] Paste the error into paste.ubuntu.com and link it here. [08:07] gogeta -- how to invoke it [08:07] mkelkar: no gui? [08:07] I would do that, but i am not in ubuntu, and i reformated my drive. [08:07] nope [08:07] lsh is not installed?? .. pff, that command should be lshw .. i've been reading too many pages the past week.. heh [08:07] Conner: That'll make this a little harder to solve then, I suppose. [08:07] gogeta -- found it [08:08] Conner: What do you remember about the error? [08:08] mkelkar: lol [08:08] mkelkar: was abought to say cheeck system [08:08] sounds good [08:08] gogeta -- found under application system tools [08:09] Well, all i get is a box and a red circle and a white line thru it (error icon) No text [08:09] Conner: Hrmmm... don't know that one off the top of my head.

That does not work either [08:10] .... [08:10] hi, please advise me! when I'm trying to watch in fullscreen a movie from youtube my gnome is restarting. From where I can trace this issue? In witch log file? [08:10] nvm, someone else verified that it works [08:10] here is fine [08:11] Spad-XIII: sudo iwconfig wlan0 would be your real card adress [08:11] I like this place [08:11] hight be ath0 [08:11] might [08:11] gogeta: it's wlan0 indeed [08:11] Conner: Did you see any errors from X in your logs? [08:11] just typing iwconfig will tell you [08:11] ok [08:11] you using wep or wpa [08:11] the essid is set indeed [08:11] wpa [08:11] ok [08:11] it says i do not have permissions, but i was running it in root [08:12] Just for test how many know that [08:12] wpa/wpa2 is set in the router with wpa-personal [08:12] Spad-XIII: sudo iwconfig wlan0 enc "yourhey" [08:12] your key [08:12] gogeta: is that with or without " ? [08:12] gogeta, what key? [08:12] with [08:12] " [08:12] same error [08:13] Conner: I'm sorry, but it's just not enough to work off. If you decide to try again, I'm sure someone could help you while you have the system running.

[08:13] Thank you Shazburg. [08:14] gogeta: still same error .. [08:14] Conner: You're welcome. I'm sorry I couldn't offer you a solution. [08:14] Just one mor thing to add. I have tried other distros to see compatability, and none have been compatable with my Graphics card. [08:14] !usb | empiric [08:14] empiric: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [08:15] gogeta -- what were your settings for temp [08:15] Conner: Have you checked with the NVidia site to see if your card is supported by the drivers? [08:15] gogeta: it's using ath9k as the driver (running from live-usb now).. card is: Atheros AR928X [08:15] empiric: personally, I've used and would recommend unetbootin, which is detailed in the second section of "Automatic Approaches" [08:16] gogeta: the funny thing is, it worked right off the bat (first boot/time only) with a different router (which was also setup in wpa-personal with wpa/wpa2 mode) [08:16] Yes, i put im my card information and os information (used linux 32bit, because i would use ubuntu x86) and it gave me a driver to download [08:16] http://pasteme.pastebin.com/m388486c4 im getting this error. what package do i need to install [08:17] Spad-XIII: from what i read iwconfig can not handel wpa2 [08:17] gogeta: it should handel wpa though? [08:18] Spad-XIII: well if its getting the essid your gui should work [08:18] Conner: I'm just stabbing in the dark, but it sounds like either a bad card or an issue with the drivers. [08:18] gogeta: because my router uses the highest-available encryption .. so if wpa2 doesn't work, it falls back to wpa .. i've tried setting it to wpa-only, but that didn't help [08:18] hi, please advise me! when I'm trying to watch in fullscreen a movie from youtube my gnome is restarting. From where I can trace this issue? In witch log file? [08:18] hoe do i search for a file with wild cards? [08:19] <[R]> Ali_nz: with the find command [08:19] Spad-XIII: are you using a word phrase or numbers [08:19] gogeta: word with numbers and small and capitals [08:19] When I am trying to install ufw by "sudo apt-get install ufw" having following error : http://pastebin.ca/1494428 [08:19] no fancy characters [08:19] I personally believe it is a bad card. I have wanted to install osx-86 and found out that my card was unsupported. Because this is mac i figured if it wont work for that then its probably not going to work for linux. [08:20] Spad-XIII: ok sudo iwconfig wlan0 key s:yourkey [08:20] thnks [08:20] hi people! yesterday, while playing CS on a laptop connected to an external screen, the system crashed, and now when I boot, it says that "ubuntu is runnin on low graphics mode". When I remove xorg.conf, it boots okay, but I dont have those "acceleration metod uxa", etc.. any suggestions what might be causing this, please? [08:20] thats for asciikey [08:21] I tried to dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but doesnt help.. [08:21] and what about including the dir location in the results? [08:21] thats s: with no space [08:22] gogeta: same error .. [08:22] so s:mykey [08:22] wtf [08:22] how do i modify a rule in ufw? i have a limit rule but i want to change the threshold [08:22] Spad-XIII: it worked before? [08:22] Hi. I just got one of the intel atom boards for my mum and just transplanted the HDD from her old computer. However, suspend does not work. The thing turns off, the power led does not blink, when I turn it on the screen doesn't turn on. Hibernate works fine. I am thinking it could be because I fiddled around with the suspend scripts back in the day when I tried fixing suspend on her old machine. Is there any way to "reset" all the sus [08:22] pend scripts? [08:23] gogeta: it hasn't work at my place .. but i had a working wifi connection with a different router somewhere else [08:23] Conner: While OSX uses a totally different graphics solution (Quartz), I would say that if you think you have a bad video card, then you probably have a bad card. You might be able to get X going with a generic display driver. [08:23] <[R]> leonbrussels: well first you would need to know what you 'fiddled' with [08:23] Spad-XIII: probly wasent encrypted if i rember the ath5k driver does not support keys [08:23] gogeta: i used networkmanager to set the key in both places .. i tried wicd (or wcid?) as well, didn't work [08:24] Spad-XIII: yea but wpa2 has issue with alot of drivers [08:24] gogeta: i'm using the ath9k driver .. and the other working network was definately encrypted (i set it up as well.. different router) [08:24] they where probly wep [08:24] [R]: I have no idea, it was about a year ago, I just forgot :( [08:24] Spad-XIII: have you tryd nidswrapper or the madwifi set [08:24] Thank you Shazburg for your support. Ubuntu has not failed me yet, as i will install it on an older build as soon as i get a new HDD. Thank you again Shazburg [08:24] <[R]> leonbrussels: easiest thing would be to reinstall... seeing as if its over a year ago its pretty old and crusty anyway === desti_T2 is now known as desti [08:25] leonbrussels, Nandflash [08:25] <[R]> leonbrussels: the newer versions work much better with susepdn anyway [08:25] Conner: You bet. [08:25] gogeta: i haven't tried ndiswrapper no, the madwifi i checked out a bit, but couldn't find any instruction-sites newer than 2006 .. :\ [08:25] Spad-XIII: so its sees the network but will not accept the key correct [08:25] where does ufw store its rules [08:25] gogeta: yea, it finds networks just fine .. it just won't accept the key here [08:25] Spad-XIII: in ubuntu hardware it should ask if you whant to use them [08:26] gogeta: System -> Admin -> hardware drivers ? [08:26] Spad-XIII: yes [08:26] When I am trying to install ufw by "sudo apt-get install ufw" having following error : http://pastebin.ca/1494428 [08:26] gogeta: that only lists the nvidia drivers [08:26] Spad-XIII: or chnage your key to all numbers that seems to work even in wpa [08:27] gogeta: nice, i'll try that one [08:28] what is starting wpa_supplicant in the background? something related to dbus? I am trying to manually configure my wireless since KNetworkManager is hopelessly broken [08:28] [R]: I am on jaunty. Is there really no way to reinstall the powermanagement? Everything else i working a charm so I don't really want to reinstall... [08:28] brb [08:28] <[R]> leonbrussels: how could it have been a year ago then? [08:28] <[R]> leonbrussels: well there is no package called 'powermanagement' [08:28] <[R]> leonbrussels: so unless you know what you screwed around with === cwek_imoetzzz is now known as bUlaN [08:29] is it possible with rar to create volumes to fit on a dvd? what should the -v parameter be? [08:29] Spad-XIII: the driver might not support acssi sttyle [08:29] leonbrussels: For the future, you may want to get familiar with etckeeper. [08:29] gogeta: i just changed the key .. will check if it connects using networkmanager === Uncle|Sam is now known as uncle|sam [08:29] [R]: Well I updated to jaunty using the update function... and I think the package is pm-utils but if I try to remove --purge it it wants to remove all of my video drivers :( [08:30] Hi, how can I manually enforce a readout of ~/.profile (so I won't have to restart or anything)? [08:30] <[R]> ysis: use the source command [08:30] Spad-XIII: you might have to delete the old auto connect to get it to as for a new key [08:30] ysis: source ~/.profile [08:30] Shazburg: Good point, would save me a lot of troubles I have had in the past :) [08:30] ask [08:31] gogeta: i'm still in the live-usb .. i didn't try making a connection just yet ..

[08:31] gogeta: it just locked up again :( [08:31] ysis: But don't make a habit of using it too many times or you'll end up with a $PATH the length of the Amazon. [08:31] so, I accidentally deleted my /etc/apache2 directory [08:32] which is no big deal [08:32] iamslango: For you, maybe. [08:32] I reinstalled apache2-common === angela is now known as Guest88195 [08:32] got almost everything back [08:32] Shazburg: Not if your .profile rebuilds the $PATH from scratch. [08:32] i deleted the installed apps shortcut from wine menu how can i get it back? [08:32] but /etc/apache2/ENVVARS is not coming back... [08:33] Shazburg, thanks! I vaguely remembered something like this but wasn't quite sure... [08:33] gogeta: it seems like it just doesn't want to connect at all [08:34] is it just me or does ubuntu boot incredibly slow in comparison to xp? [08:34] grawity: True. But that's not the default, and I'm just making sure ysis is aware of the possibility. [08:34] in general everything seems slower :/ [08:34] do you have to use 64 bit ubuntu if ur processor is such? [08:34] no Reid [08:34] ty [08:34] Reid: 64-bit processors work just fine with 32-bit OSes. [08:34] (I apparently have a 64-bit CPU and didn't know that until yesterday.)

[08:37] gogeta1: nop, it locked up in both live-usb and installed .. :\ [08:37] Spad-XIII: hummm [08:37] gogeta1: it seems as though it likes the numbers better as it locks up faster :P [08:37] hi, do you people know how to rip a CD to flac ? [08:37] Spad-XIII: lets try sudo iwconfig wlan0 key :1234567890" [08:38] oops [08:38] shaullx: Sorry, you need to remove the line. Got that a little backwords. [08:38] try Sound Juicer [08:38] gogeta1: i'll try, rebooting first as it's locked up [08:38] s/backwords/backwards/ [08:38] Spad-XIII: sudo iwconfig wlan0 key "1234567890" [08:38] i removed that line still nothing [08:38] see if it taakes any key [08:38] shaullx: From the wine-wine entry?

[08:40] :O [08:40] Spad-XIII: you might only support short keys if it did not error [08:40] gogeta1: it didn't give an error [08:40] I don't think so. I just did the samething not more than a few days ago. Let me check something. [08:40] Spad-XIII: ok you need to use a short key [08:41] gogeta1: it doesn't have the essid though .. [08:41] Spad-XIII: i didnt set one [08:41] Spad-XIII: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "whatever" [08:41] gogeta1: i just did .. no errors but also no connection [08:41] Spad-XIII: that was just a test [08:42] Spad-XIII: you need to make a short 10 digit key [08:42] gogeta1: what do you mean with "short keys" ? [08:42] shaullx: You can try restarting gnome, but that shouldn't work. Here's a thread to the Ubuntu forums for this issue, by the way: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=477108 [08:42] Spad-XIII: on your roughter [08:42] i used a 8 digit key and previously had 8 characters as a key [08:42] Spad-XIII: your driver does not support long keys [08:43] Spad-XIII: ok then lets do this [08:43] Spad-XIII: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "yourssid" key "yourkey" [08:43] i dont have i had and i removed it [08:44] <``y7> where do i find my computer name at in ubuntu? [08:44] gogeta1: no errors [08:44] Spad-XIII: ok sudo dhclient wlan0 [08:44] see if it keys a ip [08:44] gets [08:44] shaullx: Then you should have your Wine menu back. I'm sorry, but that's the solution for deleting a menu item you need back. [08:44] gogeta1: it's dhcpdiscovering.. [08:45] shaullx: Or rather, getting back an item you deleted. [08:45] What is there for ubuntu that is similar to Game Maker on windows or the Visual studio tools on windows [08:45] Spad-XIII: did it give out a ip === doman is now known as Bloodman [08:45] how can install a package if i dont have an internet connection?

I get ideas and i have to build some kind of code to implement them [08:46] Reid: What package? [08:46] Spad-XIII: ok iwconfig wlan0 enc "yourkey" [08:46] subversion [08:46] couldn't find it [08:47] Reid: If it's on the install CD, you should be able to add the CD back as a source (if it isn't alread) and install if from apt-get. [08:47] gogeta1: and again the dhclient ? [08:47] yes [08:47] Reid: Which subversion is not on the CD. [08:48] Spad-XIII: we got issue 1 salved lol at least we knoe it didnt like the word key [08:48] gogeta1: again nothing.. [08:48] Okay, tell me this. How similar is Qt too Visual Studio C++ 08 [08:48] Spad-XIII: i would try with wicd now being it does support wpa [08:48] gogeta1: 1 step further than i got myself :) [08:48] i try sudo apt-cdrom add, then do i need to try apt-get install subversion? or do i need to update apt? [08:48] Spad-XIII: it should accept it [08:49] gogeta1: i'll install wicd then [08:49] Reid: Umm... I take it you have a machine you could use to download the file, then transfer it over to the host in question via a flash drive or some network protocol? [08:49] yes [08:49] :( no one likes me even at 3:50 in the morning :( [08:49] is samba the best method for networking windows with ubuntu? === johnson is now known as Guest99038 [08:49] eruiwovmc: if you mean file sharing, then yes. [08:49] Well my boot problems seem to be getting weirder, but I think I have a better idea of what's going wrong now [08:50] okay [08:50] thanks [08:50] gogeta1: doh .. typing inthe whole apt-get install command .. only to find out, wired network is offline as well.. argh [08:50] Okay. Well, this could be fun. [08:50] In the Ubuntu installation, I tried installing Grub to a 2gb SD card [08:50] When I tried booting Grub from that, it said "GRUB Hard Disk Error" [08:50] Spad-XIII: the ubuntu one should work to just go in network settings and delete the auto connect [08:50] Reid: Here is the subversion package for Jaunty: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/subversion [08:50] ty [08:50] After booting the Ubuntu Live CD, I checked the SD card and no files were on it [08:50] Spad-XIII: so it loses the old locking up key [08:51] Spad-XIII: then try reconnecting [08:51] Is there a way I Can install Grub without the Ubuntu installer? It seems Ubuntu installed on the partition I wanted and everything, I just can't boot it [08:51] <[R]> Keranu: what exactly do you mean you installed it to the sd card? [08:51] Hi, how can I use an openPGP key that I have published through the ubuntu servers on another computer to sign email in thunderbird? [08:51] Spad-XIII: it wil restore auto connect once you connect no worrys [08:52] Reid: To bring the package down, you'll need to satisfy all those dependencies. I'd recommend installing as many as possible off the cd, then downloading the rest. You'll have to match any dependencies for those dependencies yourself. Since you don't have an internet connection on the host you want to install on, you get to do apt's job. [08:52] At the end of the Ubuntu installation when it asks where you want to install Grub, I chose the path to my SD card. (The reason I did this was to try something posted on the forums to help my problem) [08:52] Reid: Unless... is this host connected to a local network, but is not allowed to access the internet? [08:52] <[R]> Keranu: but you installed ubuntu to your hard drive? [08:52] Yes [08:52] fresh install, trying to get wireless working [08:53] Reid: No ethernet available? [08:53] its available [08:53] <[R]> Keranu: yeah... of course there are gonna be no files onthe card [08:53] <[R]> Keranu: selecting the device to "instal lgrub" to just puts it in the mbr [08:53] <[R]> Keranu: doesnt copy any files [08:53] gogeta1: it's trying.. [08:54] [R]: I was trying to follow these instructions http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=56723 [08:54] <[R]> Keranu: sounds like someone on the forums doesnt know whaat they are talking about (shocker there) [08:54] hi i deleted a package and its not removed from the menu. how do i remove it from there also? [08:54] Spad-XIII: lol it didnt lockup this time [08:54] <[R]> billy": right click and hit edit menu [08:54] Reid: Really, you're in for a world of hurt trying to match the dependencies yourself. I'd recommend you get that host connected in some way and let apt do the work for you. [08:54] gogeta1: nope, but failed anyway :) [08:54] lol okay [08:54] i want to install 64bit version of ubuntu. what is the best way to go for flash and java plugin? [08:54] tx for the heads up [08:55] gogeta1: only the wireless locks up .. wired should work [08:55] Spad-XIII: try sudo dhclient -r wlan0 and try again [08:55] Reid: You're welcome. I found myself doing just this on a laptop with a dead nic last year. It was a lot of time and not a lot to show for it. [08:56] [R] i dont see that [08:56] <[R]> billy: what do you see? [08:56] panel settings [08:56] just had me a double decker pb&j [08:56] i was trying to make skype work using pasuspender, then i killed pulseaudio and now i have no sound even after restarting [08:57] will my python2.5 and related installs break if I upgrade to Jaunty?

[09:00] bootsect.lnx was the file [09:00] Spad-XIII: humm one issue down not to get it to accept wpa [09:01] <[R]> Keranu: seems severly crack induced [09:01] now [09:01] Maybe you can give me further ideas regarding my installation problems [09:02] I'm able to partition and install Ubuntu itself fine it seems, but I have problems with dual booting between XP and ubuntu. One of three things happen: [09:02] 1. ) System boots straight into XP [09:02] <[R]> sounds like your not setting up grub right [09:02] that why you install xp after ubuntu [09:02] 2. ) Systems boots GRUB and lists XP, but when trying to boot XP it says something like "Selected Disk Not Available" (Error 21) [09:03] Or 3. ) When my BIOS boots, it says "GRUB Hard Disk Error" [09:03] I've tried installing XP after Ubuntu too [09:03] <[R]> installing xp after ubuntu is only going to wipe grub [09:03] As my computer is now, I'm stuck with problem 1.) [09:03] But I can see my installed Ubuntu partition and files [09:03] <[R]> saying it says "something like" tells us nothing [09:04] yes know you need to set grub [09:04] The error was spefifically error 21 [09:04] Let me look it up [09:04] boot your pc from livecd [09:04] That's what I'm in now [09:04] Spad-XIII: blarg now my wireless die [09:04] lol [09:05] gogeta: lol .. both wired and wireless aren't working here .. :\ [09:05] then recover your grub menu [09:05] Spad-XIII: why not wired [09:05] How can I recover it? [09:05] Spad-XIII: maybe you got your roughter blocking it [09:05] Spad-XIII: i would die of laughter if thats the case [09:05] how can i install sun-java6-bin and sun-java6-jdk on hardy heron? i have tried apt-cache search jdk and only openjdk came in the list, no packages with sun_ or java6 [09:06] read that http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3203908&postcount=4 [09:06] Thanks [09:06] Spad-XIII: for wired not to work it sounds like it [09:07] no problem [09:07] error404notfound: Here's the java packages for hardy: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=hardy&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=java [09:07] Shazburg, http://pastebin.com/m14c3b758 is my repo list [09:08] Spad-XIII: its very late so i have to sleep good luck it sounds like the orughter is rejecting the connection thow for wired to fail [09:09] error404notfound: You want java6 runtime, right? [09:10] Shazburg, its bin and demo actually [09:10] I've installed the latest version of VirtualBox from the vbox official repo. USB is not accessible in the guest OS. What's wrong? [09:10] <[R]> Phonon: you selected it in the settings? [09:11] error404notfound: Well, I don't know about the demo, but I think you want this package: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/ia32-sun-java6-bin [09:11] error404notfound: It's in multiverse, so you just need to add that to your sources. [09:11] wired connection worked fine earlier today and yesterday the whole day .. the router is not blocking it :\ [09:12] Phonon: You installed from vbox's repo, and not Ubuntu? [09:12] [R]: Yes, in the settings of a vm, I added a corresponding filter. [09:12] <[R]> Phonon: sounds like you need help with virtualbox... not ubuntu [09:12] Anyone know how to install WoW with Wine? [09:12] Shazburg: Yes, not from the Ubuntu repo. Since the open source edition does not support USB, isn't it? === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [09:13] [R]: Well, thanks. [09:13] Anyone know how to install World of Warcraft with Wine..? [09:13] Phonon: Not sure about that as I haven't tried USB with VirtualBox, but if you installed from their repo, you'll definately want to work with them on the issue. [09:13] <[R]> topher_: yes... we all heard you the first time [09:13] topher_: Download the installer and run it. Works fine for me. [09:13] Shazburg: Yeah, thanks [09:14] Phonon: Sorry. [09:15] dual booting windows xp and linux...... is there a web site that explains how to determine swap file size etc? [09:15] what stage of development is kermic koala [09:15] topher_: Yes, go to your account page and download the windows installer. I ran it through wine and installed the game just like in Windows. [09:15] <[R]> delicowa: there is a wonderfu shedule on the ubuntu website [09:17] How do you run it with Wine? [09:17] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KarmicReleaseSchedule [09:17] whats the best ubuntu/debain desktop screen recorder? [09:17] topher_: Once you have Wine installed, it will take ownership of Windows executables. You just run the program like you would on Windows. [09:18] i tried recordmydesktop to no success [09:18] Hello, I am having problems with youtube/flash audio. I am currently running 8.04. I don't have speakers as I use a USB Headset and it seems to work so far, I can hear Pidgin's noises. Any insight? [09:18] I don't know but I use RecordMyDesktop [09:18] it wouldnt record or something lol [09:18] you can use recordMyDesktop to record dektop videos [09:18] i want to make a review of the os im in [09:18] check www.getdeb.net [09:19] ill try and use it again hold on [09:19] hi all [09:19] is this a better chat system than yahoo chat? [09:19] Is their a way someone can use a Remote Desktop viewer to help me? [09:19] ojdanke: IRC is better than all (well, most) chat systems. [09:19] I'm a noob to Ubuntu. [09:19] ojdanke u in pidgin? [09:20] i guess there are a lot of bots in yahoo chat.... [09:20] i could..... [09:20] after you click on record it hids the window in the system tray where the notification area is [09:20] http://tinyurl.com/nkypfa [09:20] hallo [09:20] do you want me to? [09:20] billy:Do you want me to? [09:21] no just asking didn't really know what you were talking about [09:21] okay... [09:22] delicowa [09:22] i tried sudo apt-get install recordmydesktop [09:22] and it worked but i dont see it in my menu :( [09:22] so just asking.... is this a place where people just come to chat?(I'm new to this place) [09:22] or does it have some specific purpose [09:22] ojdanke: This channel (#ubuntu) is mostly the support channel for Ubuntu Linux. [09:23] yeah what grawity said [09:23] ojdanke: But there are many other channels in this network, and there are many other IRC networks. [09:23] great..... That means it is a lot of help..... [09:23] how do i change a channel? === Twilo is now known as Twilo|away [09:23] When I enter [09:23] wine InstallWoW.exe [09:23] ojdanke: First, find out the channel name. Then type /join #channelname [09:24] ojdanke: You can be in multiple channels at once. [09:24] topher_: Your question isn't really related to Ubuntu. Here's a writeup on installing WoW with Wine of wowwiki: http://www.wowwiki.com/Wine [09:24] It doesn't install it. [09:24] how do i find out the channel name? :) [09:24] Good question [09:24] what are you looking for lol [09:24] is it best to make individual partitions for each directory? e.g. /usr, /home etc. [09:25] i think i got that.... [09:25] freenode has alot of channels [09:25] I am having a problem with getting flash sound to work, I am running 8.04 and have a USB headset, I went though the sound editor and got it to allow me to hear pidgin's noises but nothing from youtube/firefox. [09:25] i'm looking for a normal chat to find new friends(girls) [09:25] Still doesn't work. =/ [09:25] topher_: You may also find Cedega or CrossOver Games to be useful. [09:25] Why the menu lost the setting ,place icon? [09:25] Do those cost money, Shaz? [09:26] ojdanke: On Freenode, the "generic" chat channel is #defocus. (Usually one would use /list to see all channels in the network - but since this network is so big, that command could easily flood you off IRC for a while, so I really would not recommend using it.) [09:26] ojdanke go out in public and do that or get on myspace and add random people ha [09:26] ojdanke: Try /msg alis help [09:26] sorry to talk off topic but does anyone have a domain name with net benifit ? [09:26] thomson: It really depends, but in general the answer is no. [09:26] benefit * [09:26] topher_: Yes. [09:26] anyway brb [09:26] ojdanke: There are also websites such as http://irc.netsplit.de/ and http://searchirc.com/ that can search all channels in all networks. [09:27] Did someone see it? [09:27] thanks... you all are a lot of help... [09:27] (I liked that- go out and chat to ppl advice best) [09:27] Is there a Wine IRC channel I could join? [09:28] topher_: #winehq [09:28] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1212784 [09:28] thomson: these days, you only really need/want /home on a separate partition [09:28] i m not getting views or answers on this thread : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1212784 [09:28] thomson: Partitioning this way made more sense when you ran the risk of /var overtaking your 700MB hard disk. Unless you have a very small hard disk (under 20 gigs) or you're spreading partitions across multiple hard disks, go with the "/" and "swap" partitioning and move on. [09:29] ubuntu's installer should partition /home separately... [09:29] neo_: I'm not looking at it. === johnson is now known as Guest25545 [09:29] how tdo i upgrade to firefox 3.5? (im on 9.04) [09:29] *do [09:29] Shazburg: ????

[09:30] @bily I hope I'm not in trouble [09:30] neo_: My response, that is. [09:30] Shazburg: thaught so [09:30] @billy I hope I'm not in trouble [09:31] lol [09:31] what version do you use? [09:31] whats the difference between recordmydesktop and gtk-recordmydesktop [09:32] epic: You'll find it under Shiretoko once it's installed. This is because the branding for the package hasn't been updated since 3.5 was in development. I'm using 3.5 and everything is A-OK. [09:32] billy: One does not use GTK. [09:32] gtk-recordMyDesktop is the frontend for recordMyDesktop === Mud|brb is now known as Mud [09:32] idk what gtk is [09:32] do i need both? [09:32] yes you need booth [09:33] recordMyDesktop is a commandline utility [09:33] billy: Install gtk version. It'll pull in other package too. [09:33] ahh thats why i only had one [09:33] :P [09:33] neo_: Why do you want to upgrade to Jaunty? [09:33] gtk-recordMyDekstop is a graphical interface (gtk is a graphical interface engine for the gnome environment) [09:33] now i see it in the menu :D [09:34] good just install it and you'll LOOOOOOOOVE recordMyDekstop [09:34] ok i opened it now what? [09:34] hit record but how do i stop it and save it [09:35] Shazbug: Gnome (probably compiz) seems to have prob with my video driver: intel 80845. I can not enable advanced visual effects. Had to uninstall compiz [09:35] plus i would like to work with python2.6 for my other projects [09:36] jaunty might have solved problems [09:36] plus improved stability [09:36] delicowa dont leave me hanging :) [09:37] neo_: I see. That's quite the setup you have there. You install everything with apt, or did you use eggs for Django and the like? [09:39] k [09:39] hi [09:40] hey, is feisty eol? [09:41] lol failed [09:41] Shazbug: most of the times it was apt. I have installed some packages with pip. Then some manually. [09:41] neo_: My two cents: if you've got real time/money tied up in your setup, I'd weigh that against the pros of upgrading to Jaunty. No one is really going to guarantee your setup won't break, but I have had clean upgrades with Ubuntu when I expected destruction. === erpiter is now known as pcoca === arthur_ is now known as D_C [09:42] gamla_kossan: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty [09:42] neo_: You might want to take a backup of your system and restore it to a virtual machine like VirtualBox, then test the upgrade there. [09:42] Shazbug: Ha ha. Thanks. [09:42] gamla_kossan: ... no longer supported. It is recommended to upgrade to the current version of Ubuntu. [09:43] Shazbug: VM seems to be an option. [09:43] minimec: fsck [09:43] but that will take some time. [09:43] minimec: thanks [09:43] gamla_kossan: np [09:44] neo_: And something I wish I was more discplined about is scripting such installations out so I can recreate them as needed. [09:44] Shazbug:I'll probably stick with Intrepid for now [09:44] Has anybody ever install Oracle on Ubuntu? [09:44] Shazbug: you are right. I was too lazy about scripting them. [09:45] Shazbug: anyway, upgrade to Jaunty can wait. I m enjoying Django for now. [09:45] Shazbug: thanks for help. [09:45] minimec: wait, feisty was never a LTS? [09:45] minimec: is that correct? [09:46] * gamla_kossan facepalms.. [09:46] neo_: You bet. [09:46] how do i work out how big my swap partition should be? [09:46] thomson: will you be using hibernate? [09:46] thomson: You shouldn't need more than a gig. [09:47] Slart: no [09:47] thomson: Slart makes a solid point. [09:47] gamla_kossan: Hardy Heron is the last lts. Between Feisty an Hardy, there was even another one... 'Gutsy' ;) [09:47] thomson: how much RAM do you have? [09:47] Slart: 2 GB [09:47] thomson: I would go with 1GB or so.. just to give you some buffer in case something starts eating memory [09:48] thanks delicowa [09:48] thomson: if you use hibernation you need at least as much swap as you have RAM.. otherwise hibernation will not work [09:48] !swap [09:48] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [09:49] moin [09:50] yea [09:50] saves as ogv file though [09:51] thanks [09:51] thomson: This your first linux install? [09:51] and wont play it justs opens then closes [09:52] Shazburg: yes [09:53] Hi all, is there a PPA for an updated lm-sensors which supports the Atom? [09:53] thomson: Right on. Have fun. [09:53] hi, ive got loads of logs every few seconds saying: "OTP unavailable because can't read/write key database /etc/opiekeys: No such file or directory" any ideas please? [09:53] Hey. I had ubuntu installed on my computer, and I reinstalled windows on another partition, so I'm trying to reinstall grub from a live cd, but I get the error "Error 22: No such partition" [09:54] I have my laptop hooked up to my TV via HDMI cable. How can I get the sound to come out on my TV rather then my laptop? [09:55] notice billy make sure you use totem and that you don't have broken dependencies [09:56] Shazburg: i'll try, lol [09:56] sirninja: So you have one harddisk with different partitions on it? [09:57] mmm, apt-proxy seems a bit stuck: apt-get update is taking *really* long "Waiting for headers" while apt-proxy's log is slowly getting entries added. Did I break it somehow or is this a bug? [09:57] topher_: You'll need to run an audio cable. [09:57] minimec: yes [09:57] topher_: I don't know about hdmi, but with most other formats you have to run audio separately [09:58] the last thing it says before that error is: "Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+17 p (hd0,6)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/menu.lst"... failed" [09:58] sirninja: What did find /boot/grub/stage1 return? Something like 'hd.0.1' ? [09:58] totem? [09:59] sirninja: did you change your partition layout? "geometry (hd0)" might be interesting. [09:59] it returned (hd0,6) [09:59] oh... I'm booting off a usb, that could register as hd0 couldn't it? [10:00] sirninja: ok. No. I don't think so. Your stick shouldn't be recognized as 'hd' [10:00] well if you use ati try installing all the ati drivers because it is propriery [10:00] strange. In gparted, It says my main hd. is all unallocated, even though I know that's not the case === Sonderbla is now known as Sonderblade [10:01] Huh, it works on Vista without the audio cable.. [10:01] I thought HDMI had audio in it? [10:01] sirninja: So ... Thenyou do 'root (hd0,6)', and then 'setup (hd0)'. IS that right. Do you get the error after setup (hdo)? [10:02] */notice billy try this command make sure mplayer is installed [10:02] correct. I only get an error after setup (hd0) [10:03] topher: the HDMI interface is audio and video, but Ii've never heard of the audio portion working properly in linux [10:04] topher: what kind of video card do you have? [10:04] topher_: http://www.google.com/search?q=hdmi+ubuntu [10:04] My pc has 4 partitions: (1) a small vista o/s partition (ntfs), (2) a large storage partition (ntfs), (3) a ubuntu partition (ext2 or whatever it is) and (4) a swap partition. From ubuntu I can see and mount partition (1), but cannot see partition (2). Any reason why? [10:05] ATI HD2600 [10:05] sirninja: OK. I searched the Internet for your problem. Looks that your MBR is fucked up after the Windows install. You need the WIndows Install disk and reinstall a working win MBR. Afterwards you can load the Live DIsk (or stick) again and restore grub. google for 'grub error 22' [10:06] minimec: hrm? installing grub in the mbr *should* still work, I'm pretty sure [10:06] ok. thanks. I'll be back later if that doesn't work. :P [10:07] mzz: So how to get rid of the error, if he cannot install it in the MBR with setup (hd0) ? [10:07] topher: i think AI released multiple drivers for linux, depending on the card you have. you may want to double-check their site to see if you have the correct driver, but i'm not familiar with their audio support over HDMI in linux [10:08] i'm quite sure NVidia's audio over HDMI is not supported, though [10:09] minimec: 22 is "No such partition" which is pretty weird if "find" found a file on it. I've seen grub get a bit weird if for some reason the drive is not in lba mode and the partition's near the end of the drive, but I wouldn't expect error 22 for that. [10:09] minimec: I still don't see what the mbr has to do with this though. "setup (hd0)" overwrites the mbr, it shouldn't read it. [10:10] hello , i think its better if ubuntu 9.04 use thunderbird and not evolution... much better actually :) [10:10] hi trying to install ubuntu using the 9.04 live cd - even if I select safe graphics mode and/or choose acpi=off, no apci, no lapic, edd=on, I arrive at either a corrupt display or a blinking cursor [10:10] !best > ufo [10:10] ufo, please see my private message [10:10] what can I do to further investigate the reason [10:10] ufo: imnsho: meh, just uninstall evo and install thunderbird if you disagree with the default. [10:11] AD7six, md5 the iso yet? burn at low speed and do the disk integrity check? [10:11] delicowa what command [10:11] sure never mind [10:11] AD7six, if you have done all those, then either explore more !bootoptions , or try the alternate installer cd [10:11] AD7six: iirc "safe graphic mode" is still graphical. You could try a text-based install instead. But yeah, definitely do that disc integrity check first. [10:13] Guess ufo really hates Evolution. [10:13] mzz: Yeah... It is really unusual to have a '/' Partition at (hd0,6) in my eyes. Well'sirninja' has gone now, but what would be your suggestion? [10:16] bazhang: mzz thanks for the hints will check the cd and use the alternate if there's nothing obvious [10:16] AD7six, dont forget to md5 the iso as well, could be a corrupt iso [10:16] !md5 [10:16] 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 [10:17] "Check finished: errors found in 1 files" guess that answers that [10:18] I didn't think check disk refered to the cd :D [10:19] hello?

[10:23] i need to install a simple proxy server on my ubuntu-server, is squid the way to go, or is there anything simpler? [10:23] can I use wget to download an entire, following only hyperlinks that point to files within the site? [10:23] I'm cool just checking out the xchat I installed. [10:23] Hey. [10:23] :) [10:24] justanothercoder: I haven't found squid too hard to get running. [10:24] justanothercoder: not sure if there is somthing simpler, however squid is what canonical use internally so I would expect good support for it [10:24] i want to use oracle xe on my jaunty AMD64, but i get wrong ELF class, because its actually for 32 bits, it there any way to fix this? [10:24] Am very new linux and need some help with a problem im having with the dispaly [10:25] shazburg : i've got squid running before, but i guess it has a lot of features which i don't really need . wondering if there is one with a smaller footprint [10:25] JC_Denton_: Take a look at the man file for wget. It has a mirror option. [10:25] Shazburg: thanks [10:26] neil1: Go ahead. [10:26] justanothercoder, what dont you need? squid isnt that heavy i think [10:27] justanothercoder: filterproxy, maybe? [10:27] oh well, maybe i'll just install squid :) [10:28] i am running ubuntu through virtual box on my vista pc, and the maximum screen res i can get is 800x600 and because of this the linux screen on my monitor is not filling the full screen [10:28] justanothercoder: I see a simpleproxy package. That sounds simple. ;) [10:28] I cant get my webcam too respond today... it worked up until a few days ago when i tried it... lsusb still reports it as there, but /dev/video and /dev/video0 are both "empty" [10:28] I'm unable to reinstall grub from a live cd. i get error 22. what should I do? [10:29] neil1: have you installed the virtual box addons thingy? [10:29] neil1: You likely have a combination of factors. Just taking a blind stab at it, I'd say the driver VirtualBox is suppling is being picked up during install with a generic driver that may or may not be able to support a higher rez. [10:29] neil1: I think there should even be a menu option in the vm to mount the addons cd === _ is now known as Guest26567 [10:29] mzz: sirninja is back, so if you have another idea for his error 22 prblem... ;) [10:30] neil1: Slart has you on the right path, I think. You may need the guest additions. [10:30] ah, guest additions.. that's the name.. thanks Shazburg [10:31] Shazburg : here is my situation. i have two physical ports, eth0 and eth1 , eth0 gets a DHCP from my router, this router basically has my entire LAN on it. the router also has a wan connection. eth1 is my backup internet connection, i've created a virtual interface called eth0:1 and gave it an ip 192.168.1.99 . in case my primary internet connection goes down,people in my network can switch to proxy server 192.168.1.99 and be able to access the i [10:31] nternet via the eth1 connection [10:31] thats what i'm trying to do [10:31] how to play wma in vlc. can any1 plz help [10:31] trying the addons now [10:31] !wma [10:31] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [10:31] !wma | om26er1 [10:31] om26er1: please see above [10:32] !wma [10:32] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [10:32] justanothercoder: That's quite a setup.

As I drew this out, it reminded me of when I was with a small ISP and a customer had a similar setup, and it hurt us. [10:40] leaf-sheep: in english that breaks down the diff, writing it too a file, and then passing the written ffile to pastebin [10:40] my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.ubuntu-uk.org/55140 [10:40] justanothercoder: So eth0 is connected to your switch. Your switch is connected to your primary router, no? [10:40] yes [10:41] sirninja: and "find /boot/grub/stage1" and "setup (hd0)" gave you what? Please pastebin again. [10:41] gartral: Still does not work. [10:41] justanothercoder: And eth1 is connected to your... backup internet connection via a router or bridge? [10:41] leaf-sheep: might need too make diff.diff into ./diff.diff [10:41] mzz: http://pastebin.com/mbe9f7cb [10:41] justanothercoder: Or eth1 is connected to your switch and your backup connection is connected to your switch? [10:42] my make && make install command doesnt work... it says: make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.

[10:42] sirninja: that's pretty weird. You're in ubuntu, right? I wonder if it somehow ended up with a completely confused "maps" file [10:43] h0dges: Ok. As far as I see, you don't use the evdev driver for any device. Look at my xorg.conf. There you see that I use the evdev driver for Mouse1 http://paste.ubuntu.com/217734/ [10:43] Shazburg : eth1 is directly connected to the backup ISP's cable modem. it gets a dhcp address. eth0 is connected to a switch, switch connects to my main ISP's cable modem [10:43] justanothercoder: Got it.

[10:45] sirninja: does "fdisk -l /dev/sda" also give you weirdness? Should print the partition table. [10:45] shazburg : edge? [10:46] mzz: that shows up correctly [10:46] at the moment it's acting as a mouse trackpad [10:46] Your main router that directs lan traffic to your main internet connection? [10:46] My pc has 4 partitions: (1) a small vista o/s partition (ntfs), (2) a large storage partition (ntfs), (3) a ubuntu partition (ext2 or whatever it is) and (4) a swap partition. From ubuntu I can see and mount partition (1), but cannot see partition (2). Any reason why? [10:46] sirninja: huh, then I really wonder what's going on with gparted. Sec... [10:47] Shazburg : its just a switch that connects to my main ISP's cable modem [10:47] justanothercoder: I see. [10:47] hi I have an issue putting ubuntu server on a RAID server, GRUB keeps giving me error 2 and 15 [10:47] hello [10:47] i want LFS chat , [10:48] justanothercoder: The picture is much clearer. [10:48] i want LFS IRC chat [10:48] sirninja: it should be listing /dev/sda1 as windows, /dev/sda2 (I think) as extended, /dev/sda3 as swap, /dev/sda5 (I think) and /dev/sda6 as linux. Is that correct? [10:48] sirninja: actually just pastebin that too :) [10:48] gartral: Nevermind. It's not important but it was strange that I'm not able to output to a file. I did it manually. And the last command you gave me really didn't make a sense. :) [10:48] guys, i've a usb flash disk... whenever i execute `ls` i get this error ls: cannot access THEME: Input/Output error... what's the best thing to fix this? is this hardware related now? [10:48] waleed: lfs as in linux from scratch?

Where is your problem exactly now? [10:49] How can I set keyboard commands to launch a program? [10:49] justanothercoder: Well... if you want to have redundancy with your internet connection and/or load balancing between the connections, you have to have a router in one form or another.

[10:50] hi, is there a way to play wav/ogg/mp3 sounds with the internal pc speaker (the thing that plays the beep sounds)? i laready found this driver: http://www.geocities.com/stssppnn/pcsp.html but i dunno how to use it. i'm using jaunty server [10:50] Shazburg : ok, let me try to mess with this a bit [10:50] justanothercoder: If you can't convince the suits to get something like a Cisco 1800, and your server load is light enough, you can use your server to do this. [10:51] gharz: try "dosfsck" (umount the partition first!) [10:51] Shazburg : i have just five computers on my LAN [10:51] mzz: thanks [10:51] is there any single audio player [10:51] how can I know if the partition is bootable or not from a mounted disk? [10:51] justanothercoder: Then a third NIC seems a more reasonable price. [10:51] Shazburg: and its not really mission critical. we're a small web dev agency, internet outages are just inconvenient [10:51] om26er1: what do you mean by "single audio player"? [10:52] mzz: is that what is causing it? [10:52] eeejza: what's bootable depends on your bootloader surely [10:52] sirninja: any idea how that might've happened? And are you supposed to have two linux partitions? [10:52] justanothercoder: I suppose they would be for you. [10:52] sirninja: I don't know if that's causing it but it's definitely not sane [10:52] mzz: i have my home on a separate partition [10:52] cast, well I usually asign a boot flag during the partitioning of a disk. [10:52] dstaubsauger: only audio player not a video player [10:52] dstaubsauger: You horrible person! I've been able to ignore that for years, and now I'm going to have to figure out how to do it. [10:52] mzz: and I have no idea how that happened. I've done a lot of distro hopping lately, so I guess it happened during one of the installs [10:52] sirninja: fortunately none of the "actual" partitions overlap. === Twilo is now known as Twilo|away [10:53] dstaubsauger: and also by installing it no video player should b installed [10:53] !audio [10:53] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [10:53] eeejza: and then later discover ubuntu doesn't care? :) [10:53] sirninja: I'd back up anything important, then delete sda2 (using fdisk if gparted won't work on this layout) and recreate it as a logical partition (sda7) [10:53] !players | om26er1 [10:53] om26er1: 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 [10:53] sirninja: NO WAIT [10:53] sirninja: err, sorry, I meant sda3 there [10:53] om26er1, check that list [10:53] sirninja: sda3 is swap, so deleting it should be safe. Do *not* delete sda2! [10:54] minimec: the problem is that it isn't being controlled by the driver it should be. my only evidence for this is that it's acting like a trackpad and that's not it's normal behaviour. is there any other way i can figure out what's controlling this device? like logs or something? [10:54] dstaubsauger: I think you just need to load the right driver, though, and that should create a new audio device. [10:54] tell me how to help you help me! :) [10:54] yo yo yo [10:54] ok [10:54] mzz: so should I delete that and then retry installing grub? === Wajih is now known as MaWaLe [10:54] justanothercoder: Well, if you want to use your server as a proxy to keep connected to the web, you need three nics. If you want to have your server act as a router and balance the two connections (which is one way to get redundancy), then you need three NICs. [10:54] mzz: if i umount it... how do i dosfsck an unmounted device? [10:54] :) [10:54] :( [10:55] sirninja: your grub partition numbers are also off by one compared to the ones in the manual. I'd expect it to want (hd0,4), not (hd0,5). I don't know what's up with that. What does (hd0, give you? [10:55] !fsck [10:55] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [10:55] gharz: dosfsck /dev/insertdevicenamehere [10:55] How can I set a keyboard command to open a program [10:55] cge: do you know the name of the module? [10:55] ActionParsnip: this is a card reader or something, no need to reboot [10:55] !shortcut | Mike94287 [10:55] Mike94287: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [10:55] dstaubsauger: I'm looking [10:55] ok, me too [10:55] Shazburg : i don't need redundancy, just a fallback, if the primary goes down. i can even write a script that i can manually run everytime the main connection goes down [10:56] h0dges: Hold on a moment... [10:56] or change the settings on the server to use the backup connection as the gateway [10:56] even that would work [10:56] mzz: So in grub sda6, would be hd0,5? [10:56] Thanks ActionParsnip [10:56] justanothercoder: you could even script a ping via a certai interface, ifit fails, switch the route ;) [10:56] sirninja: yeah, they're normally one less than the number you see in linx [10:56] linux, even [10:56] ActionParsnip : neat :D [10:57] mzz: so when grub was saying it was finding it on hd0,6, but fdisk only shows sda going up to 6 is there something up with that? [10:57] sirninja: yeah, I don't understand that. Grub running inside linux has quirks though... [10:57] mzz: it says Currently, only 1 or 2 FATs are supported, not 6. what does this mean? [10:57] sirninja: or it's possible your grub differs from the one I'm reading the manual of [10:58] sirninja: gru starts disk numbers at 0, partition numbers start at 1 [10:58] gharz: what are you running it on exactly? [10:58] gharz: if the card has a partition make sure you run it on that, not on the raw device [10:58] gharz: (so run it on /dev/sdg1, not /dev/sdg) [10:58] sirninja: so i'd say so as partition 6 is sda7 (for example) [10:58] i have a usb flash disk and i want to check its filesystem (a command similar to chkdsk).... [10:58] gharz: (replace sdg with your actual card) [10:58] mzz: it doesn't have partition... [10:59] it's a 2gb usb flash disk [10:59] sirninja: the extrended partition is one though, so that makes sense [10:59] justanothercoder: ActionParsnip is right. It's an easy enough thing to do (round robin). As a netadmin though, I think this configuration makes things more complicated than they need to be. [10:59] gharz: that doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't have one large partition. Does /dev/sd1 exist? [10:59] ok [10:59] mzz [10:59] ok. [10:59] Whats the gnome shutdown command? [10:59] dstaubsauger: pcsp [10:59] gharz: it does, you cant access disks, the flash device has a single partition taking 100% of the device [11:00] justanothercoder: Course, the proper alternative has it's own complications. [11:00] nperry: I don't know about a terminal command, but you can click the red button in the top right. [11:00] how would I delete sda3 from the command line? [11:00] nperry: (on the panel) [11:00] sirninja: use fdisk if gparted won't work [11:00] ok [11:00] cge: do i need to compile that myself? [11:00] let me check [11:00] dstaubsauger: I'm not sure. I'm not running Ubuntu right now. [11:00] justanothercoder: Regardless, whatever you do, don't plug those two cable modems into the same switch. It's like crossing the streams in Ghostbusters. [11:00] cge: ok [11:00] mzz: what would be the arguments? I really don't want to mess this up [11:00] dstaubsauger: It's mainline, but it's a bit esoteric. [11:00] yeah [11:01] shazburg : won't :) [11:01] sirninja: first check if swap is in use, actually. [11:01] gharz: its a thing that windows does,if you split a drive into 2 partitions. it will see a C "drive" and a D "drive" when infact there is only one drive, the "drives" are partitions [11:01] <_kelahi> do you know game x-moto? [11:01] mzz: it's all not using any memory, but it shows available under the free command. is that good enough? [11:01] gharz: even if you only have C drive, its a disk with 1 partition taking 100% of the disk [11:01] sirninja: might need to do "sudo swapoff -a" first, just in case. Then "fdisk /dev/sda", "d", "3", "w", I *think* (I don't want to actually delete any partitions here right now, sorry :) [11:02] sirninja: just running "swapoff -a" won't hurt. [11:02] mzz: this is the result.... http://paste.ubuntu.com/217757/ ... i'm just wondering why does churvalooh, THEME and other folders doesn't appear on nautilus and cannot be deleted? [11:02] mzz, I know that. I'm currently making the change over to openbox and building my own menu! [11:02] justanothercoder: And if you run into any bumps, I'll be happy to give you my contact info privately for a consultation. I kinda do this for a living. [11:02] !hardy [11:02] Ubuntu 8.04-LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 - See !lts for more details. [11:02] nperry: sorry, I don't know. [11:02] nperry: if I'm not using gnome I usually have a different wm as master, so just exiting that ends my session [11:03] Shazburg : thank you. sounds good. I'll try it out and if i run into any issues i'll PM you :) [11:03] mzz: do I need to reboot since it says the kernel is still using the old partition table? [11:03] ubottu, I amhaving some issues with that TLS version on my RAID server. [11:03] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [11:03] cge: when i do "sudo modprobe snd-pcsp" it loads a module [11:03] That's a good sign. [11:03] gharz: might want to move some stuff out of the root directory into subfolders (assuming it lets you) [11:04] dstaubsauger: That should create a new audio device. [11:04] gharz: I don't know how unhappy nautilus gets if the root directory is full if it tries to use a trash can there. [11:04] justanothercoder: That works. Good luck to you. And I'm still gonna say squid is your safest bet, even if it might be a little chubby for your needs. [11:04] justanothercoder : thanks [11:04] mzz: nevermind. I tried reinstalling grub, and it appeared to work. thank you SO much! Now I can get out of windows again. :P [11:04] mzz: can't access THEME, churvalooh and twilight... it says access error from terminal [11:04] sirninja: huh, you shouldn't normally get that. If you do I'd reboot (better safe than sorry) [11:04] cge: there's no /dev/dsp or /dev/snd [11:05] mzz: this folders do not appear on nautilus [11:05] sirninja: oh, don't forget to create a new swap partition. I'm assuming gparted will work again post-reboot. [11:05] dstaubsauger: strange [11:05] mzz: hopefully. :P [11:05] Hello Fellas, having problems with my sound. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't (mp3's, vids, etc...). Login sounds works though... Could be because I installed Ubuntu in Windows, and somehow the sound setting is coming through?? [11:05] dstaubsauger: nothing in dmesg to indicate that anything was created? [11:05] lsmod | grep pcsp [11:05] pcspkr 10496 0 [11:05] gharz: dosfsck complains about them too. I'm assuming corruption, either of the filesystem or the hardware kind. [11:05] gharz: I'd make sure there's a fewer files on the root of the filesystem before trying to repair further though. [11:06] h0dges: http://paste.ubuntu.com/217763/ I rewrote yu xorg.conf a little bit to get some order in it. [11:06] ahh: [ 4510.353833] Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting... [11:06] dstaubsauger: That's not it. [11:06] dstaubsauger: pcspkr isn't pcsp [11:06] dstaubsauger: You probably need to unload pcspkr [11:06] hi all [11:06] cge: perhaps it prevents it from loading [11:06] !hi | UbuntuUser [11:06] UbuntuUser: Hi!

I think it might let you configure what to show at startup... it could be that a text only boot is the default setting for it [11:11] DVA5912: look in the system-menu, administration, startup-manager [11:11] Slart: i made sure that textonly was not checked === Mud is now known as Mud|lunch [11:11] minimec: i might be being noob, but i don't appear to have a by-id directory, only by-path [11:11] mzz: thanks!!!!!!

[11:27] diddy: should be fine to implement. torrents restrict file access to the files you are seeding [11:27] can anyone tell me the difference in Gufw between allowing a port and limiting it? (the other two options are deny and block) i've googled and can't find the answer [11:28] diddy: as a general rule apps shouldn't have more permissions than they need.. but there is also a balance of time spent of configuring stuff vs chances of something bad happening [11:28] ActionParsnip, but but about bugs in the torrent client? [11:28] diddy: there are bugs in all torrent clients, even in mac, even in windows [11:29] dstaubsauger: Unfortunately, none of my computers here have real pcspeakers, so pcsp seems to just give strange results. [11:29] ActionParsnip, yes, then you understand what I mean right? [11:29] :P [11:29] diddy: oh yeah, file access to a server and wanting to keep it as secure as possible [11:29] ActionParsnip, so should i let all filesharing programs run under a different user?

[11:37] diddy: then it needs to not be in the sudoers group, the admin group gives you sudo capability [11:37] sudo su [11:38] daglees: sudo -i ;) [11:38] laeg: limiting a port closes it if someone is making a set number of connection attempts in a certain time [11:38] laeg: protects against brute force attacks [11:38] wow even better [11:38] ;P [11:38] will i destroy my flash drive if i will format it into ext3 file system? is it possoble? [11:38] UbuntuUser: no [11:39] UbuntuUser: you will lose all data on it though [11:39] Slart: so with it limited i'll still be able to ssh? what about the port i use bittorrent on, don't limit that, right? [11:39] (ssh from a remote ip) [11:39] Slart: is there some repo that has 3.5 in it? [11:39] ActionParsnip, let's say that I run bit torrent under a user that can sudo (admin tasks). If there is a critical bug in my bittorrent client or other client, then can the attacker become root ? [11:39] UbuntuUser, better use ext2, you don't want journal on a usb flash drive. [11:39] UbuntuUser: i'd format it ext2, it will last longer. the data will be destroyed if you format it to any file system [11:40] diddy: it will need to know the users password to then use sudo commands [11:40] laeg: I have no idea really... it would be useful to limit a port used for ssh, I guess... I would start out limiting and if things stop working change things [11:40] i have it empty bu i`m wondering it is good solution [11:40] how can I determine where my soundcard is ? ex : dev/xxxx [11:40] diddy: if you disallow the users use of sudo (not in admin group) then it can only do as much as a user can and no more [11:40] echosystm: eclipse? I have no idea.. haven't used it myself [11:41] oh ok [11:41] UbuntuUser: if its to be used in linux systems only then i'd say yes [11:41] UbuntuUser, ext2 is much faster than fat32, but incompatible with windows. [11:41] ActionParsnip, you mean not matter if the client program is buggy as hell? He can do no harm if the user is is i no sudo group? [11:41] slava_dp: http://www.fs-driver.org/ [11:42] whats the command to copy a file called php_browscap.ini from desktop and paste it in /etc/php5/apache2/extra from the root? [11:42] this pendrive is only for my linux system as emergency os [11:42] * jmartelatpapirux has script-kiddies molesting by http and ftp. [11:42] my make && make install command doesnt work... it says: make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. but the makefile.am is there... :S [11:42] minimec, hm no same result [11:42] laeg: nice article about limiting http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/187 [11:42] It is strange that claws mail can read more mails than thunderbird [11:42] prospire: sudo cp ~/Desktop/php_browscap.ini /etc/php5/apache2/extra [11:43] ActionParsnip, well i know there are tools. are you going to be carrying them with you on a floppy disk if you want to use your usb drive in an internet cafe? [11:43] how about installing it? shoul i use regular installation or pd-type? [11:43] kaini: sorry then I don't know then, what to do... [11:43] shoul=should, sorry [11:43] slava_dp: it is possible is all i'm saying [11:43] Thanks anyway [11:43] does ubuntu respect xorg.conf 's [11:44] generic: yes [11:44] pd-type i mean by usb creator included in ubuntu [11:44] will it look at first then use hal on the rest of the stuff? [11:44] diddy: if the user is not able to use sudo then the only data it can change is what is in its home directory, it may read other data if permissions have been granted on the files, otherwise it will be very limited [11:44] generic: it's just empty by default.. you can add settings and stuff to it though [11:44] Slart: good! [11:44] and how do I rename php_browscap.ini to browscap.ini? [11:44] prospire: mv [11:44] mv?? [11:45] can u tell me the whole command please [11:45] prospire: mv php_browscap.ini browscap.ini [11:45] prospire: mv is used to rename, as youmove it to the same location as another name [11:45] ActionParsnip: php_browscap.ini is in /ets/php5/apache2/extra [11:45] prospire: you should websearch terminal commands of that level rather than ask in here [11:46] Slart: ty once more :) [11:46] so will the command be mv php_/ets/php5/apache2/extrabrowscap.ini /ets/php5/apache2/extrabrowscap.ini [11:46] ? [11:46] prospire: then add the path [11:46] /ets/php5/apache2/extra/php_browscap.ini /ets/php5/apache2/extra/browscap.ini [11:46] prospire: yes, exactly [11:46] ok [11:46] how you monitor resources like cpu usage and physcial memory in ubunutu? [11:46] minimec: (much delayed reply, but still...) might want to check your Xorg.0.log for "AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using drivers 'kbd', 'mouse' or 'vmmouse' [11:46] will be disabled [11:46] Ali_nz: top [11:46] Ali_nz: gkrellm [11:47] minimec: err, mispaste. But still. It may not be using all the InputDevice sections you think it is using. [11:47] how do i get routing table using ubuntu ? [11:47] leohartx: route [11:47] leohartx: type 'route' [11:47] Ali_nz: try top [11:47] nice and easy questions today :) [11:47] ActionParsnip: my Konsole shows an error [11:47] mv: cannot move `/etc/php5/apache2/extra/php_browscap.ini' to `/etc/php5/apache2/extra/browscap.ini': Permission denied [11:48] getting gkrellm now [11:48] thanks [11:48] prospire: use tab to autocomplete the folder and file names [11:48] ActionParsnip: have you installed ubuntu on your pd using regular install or usb creator included in ubuntu? [11:48] might look at top too [11:48] well, ty ,but result seem identical to netstat -r [11:48] prospire: you will need sudo as well, users do not have write access to /etc [11:48] I doing a ddrescue and as it goes on it seems to make the system slower and slower!!! got to see why [11:48] mzz: Well I don't care about the kbd driver for example. But it surely uses the evdev driver, when I want a device to use it. [11:48] leohartx: route -n [11:49] Ali_nz: it fills up the other partition with the image of the partition you are dd_resueing [11:49] prospire: sudo in front [11:49] th0r : btw, how do i read content from file which is printed out by tcpdump ? [11:49] leohartx: less [11:49] th0r : i mean "decode" or decrypt [11:50] ActionParsnip: thx.... ecolitan: thx [11:50] th0r : it says : it's a binary file [11:50] th0r : i'd tried to open it using vi [11:51] leohartx: wireshark [11:51] th0r : but i cant read it [11:51] Slart: "An example is probably the simplest way to illustrate how it works. The following two rules will limit incoming connections to port 22 to no more than 3 attemps in a minute - an more than that will be dropped:" ok so it limites the number of connections, but what if i can't connect because someone else is bruteforcing it? [11:51] Does anybody know where the Firefox profile is located on Ubuntu? [11:51] th0r : is there any way to work out it by using tcpdump and options ??? [11:51] diddy: depends! which version of firefox/ [11:52] anyone here ever used ddrescue much? [11:52] leohartx: don't know...I use wireshark [11:52] diddy, /etc/firefox/profile [11:52] Ali_nz: a little [11:52] leohartx: you might check the man page [11:52] Ali_nz: pair it with foremost and you have a data recovery team :D [11:52] ActionParsnip: remember what sorta data recovery rate you get? [11:53] th0r : i'll check it, ty [11:53] Ali_nz: i use ata66 drives so its dead slow, you probably use sata which is much faster [11:53] #bi-sexual [11:53] Ali_nz: just make sure you use 2 drives on seperate controllers and it will go fine [11:54] exit [11:54] Ali_nz: it will take as long as the drive is large [11:54] zen_: try /quit or /exit [11:54] ty [11:55] ActionParsnip: seperate controllers? [11:55] why [11:55] anyone know some cool application that can create iso whit everything what i have installed? i mean something like norton ghost [11:55] UbuntuUser: aptoncd [11:56] Ali_nz: then the data flows down one controller and up the other, if the data has to go back up the same controller it will be slower [11:56] is best if it will be gui-type application [11:56] th0r: have it gui? [11:56] !clone [11:56] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [11:56] UbuntuUser: ^ read that [11:56] !automate [11:56] Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning [11:56] UbuntuUser: don't know...haven't used it [11:57] ActionParsnip: ok - slow I can handle as long as it doesnt crash again [11:57] UbuntuUser: may apps dont have a gui, you should not shy away from command line, its where the power lives [11:58] Ali_nz: you could set the process a lower nice value, like -5 and it ill run better as it gets more cpu time [11:58] UbuntuUser: http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=aptoncd&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g10&fp=KxYPMM6r3XA [11:58] and how about file premissions when i`ll use i.e aptoncd? [11:58] hmmm, I think I only got 512meg of ram [11:58] and its using most of it [11:58] the linux box is doing nothing else but running ddrescue [11:58] UbuntuUser: what about them, they are only deb files for updating and transfering deb files from system to system [11:59] Ali_nz: then you are in the same boat as me for most things that take time..let it run (i do mine overnight) [11:59] UbuntuUser: you will need root permissions to install the files [11:59] can anybody tell me how do I restart apache?? === erUSUL_ is now known as erUSUL [12:00] ActionParsnip, i tried to reinstall nvidia drivers as you told me earlier, now its completely broken, ubuntu starts in text mode only [12:00] prospire: sudo /etc/init/d/apache restart possibly [12:00] prospire: use tab to complete the apache word, it may be apache2 [12:00] ActionParsnip: reading about foremost - looks wicked [12:01] Ali_nz: no need for it if you have a backup [12:01] can I get a package from the synaptic and download it only , so I can move it to a thumb drive and install it to another pc? [12:01] ubunoob: then run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [12:01] ActionParsnip: /etc/init.d.... [12:01] ActionParsnip: I do, but my friends clearly dont ;-) [12:01] everythin seems me not good at all. how about scripts, settings, configs and antother stuff? i`d like to move entire ubuntu installation, not only packages contained in system [12:01] ubunoob: don't use frame buffer, then when you are back at the prompt run: startx [12:01] ActionParsnip, it sais xserver-xorg broken or not full yinstalled [12:02] moncky: bah, yeah you're right [12:02] L3dPlatedLinux: you might try getdeb.net [12:02] Ali_nz: thats where you can make a killing. I have a system specifically for data restores, nice little earner [12:02] ActionParsnip: I just need to get ddrescue running reliably. I was using a USB-SATA adapter, but that didnt work very well. Now I got a cheap SATA/IDE controller card for the job. seems better so far, but the linux box did seem to crash once....grrrrrr === Bhavic1 is now known as Bhavic [12:03] Ali_nz: all drives have ide ;) [12:03] L3dPlatedLinux, check for dependencies if you do download just the deb [12:03] ok SATA/PATA [12:03] does anyone use blueman to setup network(s)? [12:03] ActionParsnip: what do you use for data recovery? [12:03] Ali_nz: nice [12:03] sidewalk: yess, only way to get 3g working easily of my phone [12:03] C-S-B: for my friends, dd_rescure if the drive is shot, then foremost, or just foremost [12:04] ActionParsnip: PATA is onboard mobo, and sata on the card. its a old PC, P4 I think but it dont need to be flashy for DR [12:04] C-S-B: for myself, i have backups running to a firewire drive every 6 hours so i just restore [12:04] re [12:04] ActionParsnip: at my work we had a device that bypassed the hdd control board and interfaced directly with the drive. [12:04] there was once a script to move an alternate iso image to an usb stick, which from one could boot. any hints? === becca is now known as tsaotsao [12:05] C-S-B: PC3000 it could be [12:05] Ali_nz: my dr system is a p2 333 [12:05] or some software can do that too, like MHDD [12:05] ActionParsnip: wow! [12:05] hi any suggestion how can I fix this, GRUB keeps telling me Error 2 which is that the selected disk doesn't exist however I mount it using a livecd and was able to mount it myself [12:05] phaidros: try unetbooting [12:05] *unetbootin [12:06] ActionParsnip: I just dont want my box to crash again. Being remotely logged into it is nice since I dont need a extra keyboard, mouse or screen, but I wonder if it was VNC that crashed it? [12:06] Ali_nz: all my systems are around that spec, file server is a p3 500, rouuter is same, destop is 1.6ghz semp [12:06] !grub | eeejza [12:06] eeejza: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[12:07] Ali_nz: what is your disk I/O like [12:08] C-S-B: yeah but i chat and web browse so i don't need a quad core with 8gb ram do i? [12:08] 58k? [12:08] C-S-B: not what I looked for, but might worth a look :) [12:08] 63k... [12:08] i asked this question a couple of weeks ago [12:08] but i have to ask it again: [12:08] ActionParsnip: true, but hw does have a tendancy to die at that age [12:08] i have my digg results. aplication exactly wat i need is called Remastersys [12:08] sitting around 58k i think [12:08] C-S-B: my hardware is free, OS is free, lots spare money to go on holiday and see the world instead of sat infront of a screen [12:09] C-S-B: sry, exactly what I was looking for :D [12:09] I wonder why my cpu is consumed 65% above by Virtual Box and 45% up by firefox???? [12:09] and the other one was: [12:09] C-S-B: true but then i'll have been given / have salvaged some new stuff [12:09] ActionParsnip: point made. :) [12:09] moncky: make sense? [12:09] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [12:09] what can be done to make sure that ubuntu systems can connect to arbitrary access points without DNS configs [12:09] and I am running ubuntu in Acer aspire 5530! [12:09] Ali_nz: what does your disks do? [12:09] moncky: in what way? [12:09] phaidros: np, trust me, you'll never look back once you have unetbootin -its awesome! [12:09] it seems that windows users have no problems with these sorts of APs [12:10] Ali_nz: it may be going slow due to I/O of the HDD as oppoesed to memory and cpu [12:10] but ubuntu often cannot connect to the net through them [12:10] !blueman [12:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about blueman [12:10] deany, ok was looking for gnome network manager and its not there. Ok this is what happened my wife was on her lappy and wanted a wifi radar like app and she went to install kwlan and it removed the gnome one in the install process and she couldnt figure out kwlan and well I couldnt either but with out the gnome network manager there was no net at all wired or wifi so I tried to get it from the dvd rom as a install point and nothing so what I was w [12:10] ondering was could I have d/l ed it with this synaptic and went to where the packages are stored and copied to a thumb drive and then in stalled it that way on the other pc? [12:10] C-S-B: you are right though. it is cack ;) [12:10] yeah well I am running ddrescue, but not to/from the boot drive [12:10] Ali_nz: remeber your system is only as fast as its slowest part, which is likely your HDD [12:10] Ali_nz: seperate physical disks? [12:10] yes [12:11] i have already tried the solutions given to me the last time, and they didnt work [12:11] L3dPlatedLinux: you can add your install CD as a repo and install it from that [12:11] petx, mzz Thx I have found it. [12:11] ActionParsnip: I say it as though my hw is cutting edge but my server is a p4 with 512 ram and I'm running a atom core at the moment [12:11] :P [12:11] ActionParsnip, I tried that by checking the cd rom disk in the soruces list and still i got nothing [12:11] Ali_nz: sorry, was just a hunch that it was I/O [12:11] these solutions included using distributed DNSes [12:12] moncky: np [12:12] making the resolv.conf file immutablle [12:12] L3dPlatedLinux: then you can use command line to configure the wired connection to get online and install the packages [12:12] C-S-B: p4 is a nice chip [12:13] ActionParsnip: i am looking at target .bin file and its size doesnt change [12:13] is that normla? [12:13] normal [12:13] shouldnt it be slowly getting bigger? [12:13] Ali_nz: it should increase as the process runs. Its possible the data being curently read is very faulty and is being omitted [12:14] ActionParsnip: but the server is off now :P I'm going to do format it and reset it all up when I'mm back home [12:14] ActionParsnip, okthat might take awhile , with that said where are the synaptic packages stored when it d/l them? [12:14] Ali_nz: thats what dd rescue does, bit by bit copy of the data, _rescue just keeps going and ignores uncopyable data which dd will abort on normally [12:15] oh well leave it running tonight and see what happens in the morning [12:15] L3dPlatedLinux: doesnt take any time at all, just kill whatever network app you have and run: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart; sudo dhclient eth0 [12:15] ActionParsnip: how well do you find ddrescue works? Looks like an interesting bit of software. [12:16] ActionParsnip: how dead does the drive have to be before this doesnt work? [12:16] and installing wicd [12:16] we have a problem about mount command i dont know how to use it for mounting smb ? [12:16] L3dPlatedLinux: or you can go to the packages site for your release and download individual deb files and transfer, but if there are any dependancys needed you will need those too [12:16] C-S-B: will work with logical errors, and bad sectors === MakX_ is now known as Unknown10140 [12:16] wont work with physical errors like stuck heads and dead PCB's, failing firmware [12:17] ActionParsnip, ty [12:17] C-S-B: dd_rescue goes til the end of the drive being copied or the destination drive becomes full [12:17] ggg [12:17] C-S-B: whichever happens first [12:17] please help about mount command.

[12:31] thomson: yes, windows is a funny old thing [12:31] lol [12:31] well, it doesnt have to be on the first partition [12:31] indeed it is [12:31] thomson: not necessarily, it makes the dual oot easier if you install windows first [12:31] Hi all [12:31] ok [12:32] thomson all you need to worry about is making sure grub is the bootloader and not the windows one [12:32] thomson: just don't assign the whole disk to windows and have to resize afterwards, it makes no sense, you can keep your data safe if you use less of the disk when you install the windows boot [12:32] I always installed windows on the second partition as i like a big partition with windows and storage on at the end of my drive. [12:32] here is what i use :D [12:32] http://www.planetwatt.com/ [12:33] Saying that, I want to rid of windows as a partition and just virtualise it, should i desire to touch it [12:33] How to get X /gdm back? I install xbmc xbmc-live and now I cannot have 'normal' gdm login as well as normal X started as default. even after apt-get remove xbmc-live. Please tell me how (i am using irssi in text mode) :-( === chaky_ is now known as chaky [12:33] well... i'm not going the whole hog yet [12:33] echosystm: windows bootloader can boot linux [12:33] how does one control synaptics in ubuntu? [12:33] (i am using Jaunty) [12:34] Nameless_au: the touchpad you mean? [12:34] Nameless_au: how do you mean?

[12:34] jrib: ty [12:34] thomson: grub [12:34] thomson: NTLDR can't boot anything but windows, so you will need grub or lilo [12:35] thomson: grub hands down [12:35] grub it is [12:35] ActionParsnip: I'm sure i read you could boot linux with win boot loader ... [12:35] i want to get this right the first time [12:35] lol [12:35] How to get X /gdm back? I install xbmc xbmc-live and now I cannot have 'normal' gdm login as well as normal X started as default. even after apt-get remove xbmc-live. Please tell me how (i am using irssi in text mode) :-( (i am using Jaunty) Pleeeeaaase === vi is now known as Guest75527 [12:36] (sorry for repost question) [12:36] ActionParsnip: wrong info. Ntldr certainly can boot anything in chain. Just it's a bit cumbersome an microsoftish to configure it. That grub and its /boot/grub/menu.lst is way easier and known way to have dual boot quick. [12:36] C-S-B: through apps such as easybcd it is, but one error and youre goners [12:37] ohir: true it is possible === zachorr_ is now known as ZachORr [12:37] hey Ubuntu-ers heres a question: I can see one of my 2 ntfs partitions from ubuntu, but not the other. Why would that be? === ZachORr is now known as ZachOrr [12:37] aurilliance: do they both show up in the output of: sudo fdisk -l [12:38] ActionParsnip: all that does is ask for my password [12:38] Is there a way to install the graphical installer (the one of the live cd) on an existing ubuntu installation, and use it to install another ubuntu on the same computer ? [12:38] ActionParsnip: jokes XD yes the both show up [12:38] aurilliance: thats because you used sudo [12:38] :P [12:38] *y [12:38] Lol, "man gcc" on ubuntu 9.04 yields errors!! Right at the end! Somebody, report it, quick! :D [12:38] aurilliance: then you can mount them using ntfs-3g [12:39] so grub will automatically place a /boot partition at the start of the drive? [12:39] thomson: no, grub can be stored on the / partition [12:39] aurilliance: sudo mkdir /media/stuff1; sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/ /media/stuff1 -o uid=1000 === write2copy is now known as w2c^egg [12:39] aurilliance: you can see which partition isnt mounted if you run mount [12:39] ok [12:39] thomson: it just right grub to the first 512 bytes of your hdd [12:40] ActionParsnip: thanks for the help ill try it. is there a reason why one of them won't show up under the 'computer' place in nautilus? [12:40] aurilliance: no idea. i dont use automount [12:40] ActionParsnip: ok.

[12:42] gharz, or theres mkisofs as kant said which is cli [12:42] C-S-B: i can understand [12:43] mkisofs... uhmmm... [12:43] ok thanks. [12:43] i'll try it [12:44] ActionParsnip: thanks a ton again, that did the trick... [12:44] i think the problem is i used the driver madwifi [12:44] and now i can't turn it "atrás" [12:44] just to make sure, swap file is the size of your ram, right? [12:44] i know i asked not long ago, but i forgot [12:44] lol [12:44] aurilliance: sweet [12:44] aurilliance: if you wish [12:45] i have 2 error messages when ubuntu loads up: 1. error when OAFIID:GNOME_MixerApplet 2. error when OAFIID:GNOME_IndicatoApplet loads [12:45] aurilliance: you and the drive is internal and to be mounted each time, you can add an entry to /etc/fstab [12:45] ActionParsnip: it is internal, Ill try that. thanks again for all the help lol [12:46] using mkisofs with a folder with files/folders with long names, it uses shorter truncated names, even with the joilet option [12:46] aurilliance: np man, its the same data as the command [12:46] aurilliance: just rearranged [12:47] ActionParsnip: lol just realised why it wasn't showing up in 'computer' - there's already an fstab entry, I just didn't know where it had been mounted to. turns out it was in /windows [12:47] aurilliance: weird [12:47] my ubuntu-server silently shut down, have no clue, i just found it powered down. i checked /var/log/messages and it said (timestamp) ubserver syslogd 1.5.0#5ubuntu3: restart [12:47] aurilliance: it will get automounted based on its label [12:47] ActionParsnip: heh yeh. How can I unmount the folder you helped me create? [12:47] aurilliance: sudo umount /path/to/folder/ [12:48] aurilliance: sudo umount /media/stuff1; sudo rm -rf /media/stuff1 [12:48] ty [12:48] aurilliance: as its no longer needed ;) [12:48] Hey there guys .....i want to add the repos for ubuntu 9.04 [12:48] it also happened couple of times over the last few days, any ideas?

[12:52] i need help with a major problem i am facing [12:52] (and forget compatibility) [12:52] tehbaut: fat32 doesnt hold the permissions that linux needs, i'd use ext3 [12:52] ah, ok [12:52] how do i get a dock on my desktop in ubuntu like this one? http://i32.tinypic.com/2e1vtkh.jpg [12:53] !ask | Twister [12:53] Twister: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[12:54] ActionParsnip : so how do i get it and set it up? never had one in linux and want one [12:54] UnderSampled: did you md5 check the iso you downloaded? did you verify the cd once booted to?

Any ideas? [12:55] thought everything got mounted in /media [12:55] q. the multiverse repository disapeared ? or is it still the usual universe/multiverse stuff ? [12:55] ActionParsnip: yes, and it checked out. But this happed with the net install usb version from unetbootin [12:55] quit [12:55] tehbaut: most people make a new folder in /media and mount to that but there is nothing stopping you from using a folder i your home drive to mount to [12:55] UnderSampled: then try some boot options [12:55] jetienne: still there [12:55] !repos > jetienne [12:55] jetienne, please see my private message [12:56] ActionPartnership.

[13:39] lantjie: domain [13:40] oke thanks guys [13:40] verymuch [13:40] dpreacher: i hd it slow over lan, adding my host name and ip to /etc/hosts sped it up [13:40] I think the jme.ko driver falsly initialize the ethernet card, because jme.ko could worked with two kind of chipset i.e jmc260 whic is fast ethernet and jmc260 whic is gigabit ethernet [13:40] dpreacher: of the client system, that is [13:41] lantjie: though if you want to ssh to a domain you will also need to point your domain A records to that name aswell [13:41] dpreacher: strace could help, or possibly wireshark [13:41] not just one host ActionParsnip. it happens from all clients. its something to do with the login authentication itself. ssh itself is fast. [13:41] i could check with strace thhp [13:41] I think the jme.ko driver initialize the jmc260 as gigabit ethernet so it could not talk with the other side [13:42] so are you suggesting me to try strace ssh machine ip? [13:42] thhp [13:42] moncky: it doesn't work [13:42] dpreacher: was the same here. The service is trying to resolve the name to an ip which it goes through various stages to try, if you add an entry in hosts then the authentication will speed up [13:42] dpreacher: yes, see where it hangs, it might give you something more to work on [13:42] lurah: then rmmod it and modprobe the good one. If its good then blacklist the bad one [13:42] moncky: do i need to install something [13:42] how can i make a wubi like install for karmic? [13:42] ? [13:42] dpreacher: alternatively a tcpdump / wireshark would tell you if it's hanging on some network access [13:42] name->ip resolution is fast...in fact on lan i use ip itself. [13:43] flasbang73: download and md5 check wubi.exe [13:43] i have a 5 button mouse, which buttons are the 2 thumb buttons and mousewheel-push? is there a way to re-map them? [13:43] How can I blacklist the driver with the same name : jme.ko [13:43] * jmartelatpapirux is back (gone 02:25:39) [13:43] somebody knows about xmlsec1? [13:43] lantjie: no but you need to point your domain name to your server [13:43] i also have problem with ubunu studio after installation and updating it stopped on configuring (sth)-notification. What the purpose ? [13:43] how can I run Firefox 3.5 on a Ubuntu machine without having admin access? [13:43] dpreacher: try it, i had exactly the same issue. Does it accept the user name then wait for a while by any chance? [13:43] someone suggested to check if there are some auditing taking place during login...is there any such concept in ubuntu? as far as shell access is concerned [13:43] there is 1.0.7 installed... [13:43] ActionParsnip: im not that good with it could you give me the steps [13:44] moncky: how do i do that [13:44] flasbang73: its made for windows users, all you do is double click it and read the screen [13:44] wemassag: you just press alt+f2 tpe firefox-3.5 and press enter [13:44] ActionParsnip. it shows the user login prompt quickly...it even shows the password login prompt quickly...it even shows that ur password is wrong fairly quickly but when its got to get into bash...it waits quite a while [13:44] I installed this distro 3 times and 3 times the same [13:44] lantjie: you should speak to the people who host your domain, they will do it for you [13:44] ActionParsnip: ya i know that ive used wubi before but i want to install 9.10 with it [13:45] flasbang73: then get the ISO of the distro you want to use and point wubi at it [13:45] After so many trial without any result I install Fedora 11 on the same machine, without doing anything the netbook now could connect to the network even with dynamic IP from the dhcp server [13:45] ActionParsnip: i told you im not that good i don't know how to point it at it [13:45] Anyone know how I can rearrange directories without really moving them around? Just making it look that way. Something with symlinks perhaps? [13:45] Could it be the jme.ko driver on Ubuntu 9.04 lack of something ? [13:45] sorry, but that's the problem: there is 1.0.7 installed and I need to run FF3 or FF3.5 without being able to install it === jabapyth_ is now known as jabapyth__ [13:46] hello [13:47] sorry, but that's the problem: there is 1.0.7 installed and I need to run FF3 or FF3.5 without being able to install it [13:47] lurah: do 9.04 and F11 use different kernel releases ? === jabapyth__ is now known as jabap431 [13:47] !wubi | flasbang73 [13:47] flasbang73: 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.

For tcpdump, you could probably do it on the machine you're ssh-ing from [13:51] I want to try to compile the driver to make sure about it [13:51] thanks thhp [13:51] dpreacher: something like "tcpdump -i eth0 tcp and port 22" might be a good start, but of course man tcpdump is your friend [13:52] flasbang73: Karmic support is in #ubuntu+1, not #ubuntu [13:52] wemassag: you can install FF in your home directory without admin rights [13:52] pici: thank you [13:53] thhp: how? [13:53] I downloaded the tar.bz2 file and unzipped it [13:53] flasbang73: i don't use wubi so you know as much as i. [13:53] flasbang73: karmic isnt supported here, its in #ubuntu+1 [13:54] wemassag: so you should have a directory "firefox", yes ? [13:54] wemassag: so, "cd ./firefox; ./firefox" should launch it [13:54] [13:55] thhp: is there a way to get it to leave the config files in $HOME from the system installation of firefox alone? [13:55] Where's the "Startup Application" data saved?! what config file? or is it gconf?

[14:03] thhp [14:03] Lantizia: you could grep your home dir recursively for text pertaining to some app you have loading at startup [14:04] for delete a protect file i must write sudo rm -R file, right? [14:04] ActionParsnip, been doing that, no luck so far [14:04] Lantizia: linux stuff is usually in plain text so will show up [14:04] Lantizia: bah [14:04] I know [14:04] hi all. I'm having an old problem with cups: it takes forever to print images/sometimes pdf files. The printer is a kyocera [14:04] dpreacher: look for the open() call which returns the fd you're interested in [14:05] stratocaster: what do you mean by "protect"? What are you trying to do? [14:05] ActionParsnip, made a script that downloads, configures and installs a windows app but at the end I want it in startup you see... so there is no launcher to symlink [14:05] Lantizia: you could make a new user, then se tripwire to watch the home dir [14:05] hi everybody, i'm new on ubuntu and i would like to know how i could, on irc, see my different channel ? [14:05] ok thhp [14:05] dpreacher: it would probably help to use strace's -o option to output to a file for easier analysis [14:05] Lantizia: then make a change and tripwire will alert at the change, and where [14:05] What does this command do (it is from an example in a book): chown $1.users /home/$1/shared ??? [14:05] ducky__: depends on client [14:05] oh i was trying to > output thhp :) [14:05] ActionParsnip, how do I use tripwire?

Its good for servers to watch system sensitive files arent being messed with [14:06] do you reccomend 32-bit or 64-bit 9.04? [14:06] jrib, ??? [14:06] I keep getting error in firefox. please add flash player to display content. I have flash player. Sometimes it works i.e. loads and sometimes it dont help! :( [14:06] flasbang73: depends how much ram you have and what the system is for [14:06] diddy: read the beginner and advanced bash guides at tldp.org instead. The command you pasted is taken out of context. When you run a script $1 corresponds to the first argument. You should be able to see what it does then [14:07] dbrewer_rjr: Looks like there were security problems, see: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dcc [14:08] jrib, http://pastebin.ca/1494652 [14:08] ActionParsnip: i have 2gb ram and i use my computer for lots of stuff from security testing to just regular games [14:08] flasbang73: > 4Gb RAM get 64bit. for audio and video encoding systems get 64bit, for bog basic desktop + word processing etc then 32bit is fine [14:08] diddy: right. Are you asking what « chown » does? [14:09] jrib, no $1.users [14:09] jrib, What does username.users do? [14:09] diddy: well do you know how to use chown? '.' used to be used instead of ':' [14:09] ActionParsnip: so i should get 64-bit or not i know my computer supports it [14:09] I keep getting error in firefox. please add flash player to display content. I have flash player. Sometimes it works i.e. loads and sometimes it dont help! :( [14:09] Please, how on irssi i can see my different channel on irc ? [14:09] jrib, you can use a dot? I always use a colon only. OK WOW [14:10] Pici: that is dated over a year ago, but it prolly still isn't fixed. thanks. [14:10] diddy: '.' is deprecated iirc [14:10] flasbang73: 32bit will do you fine but 64bit will run equally as well. May as well take advantage of it but both systems will run fine [14:10] ActionParsnip: i just know its a pain to get flash player and stuff on it [14:10] flasbang73: then 32bit is for you, plugins will be easier for you [14:11] I cannot believe there is no firefox 3.5 for ubuntu yet!

[14:38] erUSUL: sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart got most back, but still cant network [14:38] How do I set the default group for /dev/ttyS0 on boot only? [14:38] hi. how can I easily add/remove NEW services to the OS ? [14:39] richardcavell: i meant to say that i tried installing gnome-panel to check if notification area would work there, and its the same [14:39] dpreacher: just tell me the line number, add a comment to the file -- as you wish [14:39] firestarter1: what is a service? a daemon? [14:39] Pici: which would you suggest: A) Stick with 8.10 B) Do somthing to fix 9.04's kernel C) switch to an alpha of 9.10 [14:40] ok its line 488 gotta see if this paste site will take too many lines [14:40] bruenig: a program which starts just before the windows manager starts [14:40] 488 is a trivial number of lines [14:40] nasedo: okay, well that makes more sense [14:40] UnderSampled, 9.10 is no where near stable . [14:40] dpreacher: just paste up to the hanging call, that's enough [14:40] firestarter1: ...there are tons of things that do that [14:41] UnderSampled, its also discussed in #ubuntu+1 [14:41] if i'm going to have /home as a seperate partition, what should i make /root if my hdd is 300 GB [14:41] ? [14:41] bruenig: tell me one [14:41] i pasted the write call here thhp should i paste it again? [14:41] thomson: 10GB [14:41] firestarter1: hal [14:41] k [14:41] oldude67: so far, 9.04 has been very stablely not working [14:41] thomson: are you suggesting that you want /root to have its own partition too? [14:42] picca, firefox 3.5 uses a different profile than firefox 3.0 in ubuntu? [14:42] that's a mess [14:42] ciao [14:42] !list [14:42] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [14:42] richardcavell: I presume he really means / not /root [14:42] bruenig: hal is for devices [14:42] richardcavell: yes [14:42] firestarter1: it starts before the window manager does [14:42] What's the proper techical reason a GUI can't be run over a serial connection? [14:42] does anyone have a .desktop file for Firefox 3.5 (Shiretoko)? [14:42] firestarter1: as does dbus for instance, and cron and syslog [14:42] richardcavell: should i not do that? [14:43] also, no google toolbar support for firfox 3.5 in ubuntu [14:43] sivel: change the one you have where it says Exec=, make it point to the shiretoko executable [14:43] what happened to ubuntu! [14:43] bruenig: you did not get the point. I have to start my_program after booting [14:43] firestarter1: I do not get the point indeed. What is a service. [14:43] and I need an utility for configuring that [14:44] firestarter1: on other distros, a service is another name for a daemon like hal. I don't know what my_program is. [14:44] is it is daemon, or is it some throwaway autostart command you want the DE to run [14:44] thomson: No, that's okay, I was confused by your question. [14:44] bruenig: my_program is a program. It's not a daemon [14:44] You can have / and /home on different partitions, for sure [14:44] firestarter1: a daemon is a program [14:44] the kernel is a program [14:44] they are all programs [14:44] bruenig: I removed the firefox and firefox-3.0 packages during the install to 3.5. I guess I could reinstall temporarily. I just don't feel like creating my own .desktop file from scratch [14:44] Guys, how do i mount the root partition in order to edit the fstab? [14:44] bruenig: ok, I'm wasting time with you [14:44] firestarter1: firestarter is a program too [14:45] sivel: let me paste one for you [14:45] bruenig: appreciated [14:45] sivel: http://pastebin.com/f6a75898f [14:45] bruenig: thanks again === haptiK is now known as thefail [14:46] PRIMARY: windows (1x NTFS, 50GB), ubuntu (1x ext3 root 10GB, 1x swap file 2GB, 1x ext3 home 50GB) LOGICAL: storage (1x NTFS rest of hdd space) [14:46] how is that? === thefail is now known as haptiK [14:46] so that makes 4 primary partitions and one logical [14:47] err....does anyone know how to fix the flash problem with firefox [14:47] thomson: if the shared data area is for all users, you don't really need a large home directory at all, you can symlink folders in ~/ to the shared partition [14:47] thomson: this will give you more space in the shared area [14:48] ugliefrog: what problem is that [14:48] ActionParsnip: what do you mean by that? [14:49] bruenig: Sometimes flash content works no problem...thn sometime it say no flash install adobe flash player...which is installed [14:49] thhp http://pastebin.ca/1494686 check line 488 n 489 [14:49] thomson: a symlink is like a shortcut in windows but is much more powerful (no suprise there), you can throw stuff at the link and it will appear on the shared partition but will appear to be saved in your home directory [14:49] thomson: If you have a 300 gig hard disk, I think you're skimping on your / (root) partition [14:50] thomson: Put your / partition as 25 gigs and your /home partition as 35 gigs [14:50] richardcavell: depends on his needs. My / is only using 3Gb [14:50] richardcavell: ok, someone told me to set it as 10 before [14:50] lol [14:50] thomson: whats the system for? [14:50] thomson: And how much RAM do you have? Is your swap partition enough? Do you have a laptop? Do you need to hibernate? [14:51] ActionParsnip: just general use [14:51] hi people! how to you lsof to see open files from just one process? or process id [14:51] richardcavell: 2GB ram, and it's a desktop [14:51] Would anyone happen to know if pkg-config caches somehow? In my makefile, I have a pkg-config that isn't outputting the correct flags [14:51] Hello there , I had posted a thread in the ubuntu forums about partitioning under the Username *Twittery* . But unfortunately I can't find the thread . Help please [14:51] richardcavell: no need to hibernate [14:51] progre55: lsof | grep ^firefox [14:51] quick and easy question, if I set my power management settings to sleep after one hour and I start a rsync process that will last more than one hour, will my computer go to sleep? [14:51] thomson: if its for web browsing and the like then 10gb is fine, games will be installed to ~/ for the space so 10Gb for / is fine === ventz is now known as ccslogger === ccslogger is now known as ventz [14:52] or will rsync count as the computer being busy? [14:52] pebo_ thanks :) [14:52] thomson: 2Gb for swap will be fine, for general use I doubt you will even need it as you have enouh ram [14:52] ActionParsnip: i'll be using windows for gaming [14:52] ActionParsnip: ubuntu for everything else [14:52] thomson: then 10Gb is fine [14:52] pebo_, and how to count them? :) [14:52] thomson: for / [14:52] thomson: I'd still up the size of /, since you're not short on hard disk space. [14:52] k [14:53] Anyone know? I'm not sure why my makefile is not running pkg-config right [14:53] pebo_, oh and I've used the -p option to specify the process ID (lsof -p #process) [14:53] thomson: just make sure that the shared ntfs is user writable and then you can create links to folders on it [14:53] Any one ?? [14:53] thomson: And by the way, are you running any software like VirtualBox or 3D modelling, etc? [14:54] thomson: you'll need about a 10Gb home folder if you do as all the data for both OSes will be on one partition, also makes backups easier as you can backup the command partition and the small home partition [14:54] richardcavell: no, but if i did? [14:54] thomson: VirtualBox can chew up disk space like buggery. [14:54] will a rsync process keep my power management setup from sleeping? or is power management only based on keyboard/mouse activity? [14:54] progre55: lsof | grep ^firefox | wc -l [14:54] k . I want to unmount my current partition but there is a lock . What wwas the command to unmount my current partitioning [14:54] shane2peru: rsync generates network activity, doesn't it? That will keep it awake. [14:54] ActionParsnip: ok [14:54] richardcavell: ah [14:55] thomson: I have a 16 Gig / partition that contains everything on Ubuntu [14:55] richardcavell: actually in this instance, I'm copying out to external hdd, no network [14:55] thomson: if you do get into virtualboxes etc, then move the generate folder to the common partition and symlink it ;) [14:55] thomson: I had 12 Gigs free, and installed Windows 7 on VirtualBox, and ended up with a disk full error before I had even got Win 7 to do anything useful [14:55] ActionParsnip: common partition? [14:56] richardcavell: lol [14:56] pebo_, cool, thanks, appreciate ) [14:56] thomson: the partition that both systems will access [14:56] ActionParsnip: ah [14:56] hello can anyone help me I installed ubuntu 9.04 on my external drive on a machine that had vista on it's internal, and it's installed grub and it wont let me just boot up with vista and if the external isnt registered it gives an error 21.... [14:56] richardcavell: sounds right for win7 ;) [14:56] ActionParsnip: My advice is increase the size of the root partition. Like I say, you're not short on hard disk space. I have a 60 Gig internal hard disk in my laptop and I have to ration disk space [14:57] richardcavell: how does th 16 GB / partition contain everything? [14:57] ok, does anyone know any tricks to keeping power management from sleeping while a particular process is running? prefer something commandline [14:57] ActionParsnip: Mind you I was downloading games on Steam when it froze! [14:57] so, I accidentally deleted my /etc/apache2/ENVVARS file yesterday [14:57] like ping desktop? [14:57] and reinstalling apache2-common isn't putting it back [14:57] any ideas? [14:57] thomson: I just ran Disk Usage Analyser. Total Capacity: 16.6 Gig. Used: 3.8 [14:57] Can someone tell me what exactly ttyS0 is? [14:58] :'( [14:58] thomson: you could even just mount the common drive as /home/$USER and use it that way, when the XP boots it will see the files. [14:58] !grub | guest1 [14:58] guest1: 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 [14:58] ActionParsnip: if it's formatted as ext3? [14:59] ThomasG3L: you can have your home partition on ntfs afaik [14:59] shane2peru: If you find out the answer let me know too - as to whether rsync will keep the computer on [14:59] thomson: see above [14:59] action, ubotto: havent lost grub - gained grub.. need to get back to booting with vista or family will freak lol [14:59] ThomasG3L: sorry dude, wrong target [14:59] ActionParsnip: I'm pretty sure guest1 means the other way around. [14:59] I want to unmount my current partition but there is a lock . What wwas the command to unmount my current partitioning . Please help [14:59] Blizzerand: explain "lock" [14:59] guest1: then you need your vista cd and install NTLDR if you only want to boot vista [14:59] faaf3ja: a serial port device [14:59] richardcavell: I'm pretty sure power management only looks for keyboard/mouse activity [15:00] Blizzerand: sudo umount /mount/point [15:00] action: can't just remove grub and return to normal ? [15:00] erUSUL: Any reason why one wouldn't be able to run a GUI over it? [15:00] ActionParsnip: so i can format the home partiton as ntfs? [15:00] Blizzerand: if its busy run: lsof | grep /mount/point | less [15:00] guest1: Boot up ubuntu, go to /boot/grub/menu.lst and uncomment the lines that refer to windows. Most of the time that should fix it. [15:00] richardcavell: I recently setup my power management to sleep after an hour, and the proccess I had setup to record a web broadcast at 3PM started, but was cut short, power management went to sleep. [15:00] ActionParsnip : Thanks [15:00] dpreacher: on line 261 the socket with fd 3 is opened; that's what we write to in line 488 just before the long-hanging select() in 489 [15:01] shane2peru: You can disable power saving though, can't you? [15:01] faaf3ja: define "over it" ? a serial device is very low speed it is obsolete now most new computers no longer has one [15:01] ThomasG3L: you'd do it in windows, then you'd edit /etc/fstab to mount it as /home with appropriate access to give you write access [15:01] thhp. looking @ 261 [15:01] faaf: ok will try.. will computer boot to vista without external then ? [15:01] dpreacher: and when select() returns the next thing that happens is we read from fd 3 [15:01] dpreacher: i.e. from the socket [15:01] thomson: ThomasG3L: you'd do it in windows, then you'd edit /etc/fstab to mount it as /home with appropriate access to give you write access [15:01] faaf3ja: it was used for modems; mouses and other low speed things etc back in the day [15:01] richardcavell: yes, but the point is I want it on, but want to find a way to disable it automatically for certain things, and then leave it on for all the rest of the time [15:01] What can I resize hard disk mn adjust ubuntu? Because I want to reduce the space [15:01] right thhp [15:01] dpreacher: probably the next thing to do is attempt to work out what the request sent in 488 is [15:02] MaleXachi: use gparted from the livecd [15:02] erUSUL: Ah, so too slow for a GUI I guess. Makes sense. [15:02] so its the socket call that is the issue thhp [15:02] thomson: windows will also be able to read it fine as its ntfs [15:02] shane2peru: Perhaps you could add something to the launcher [15:02] guest1: Yes. But you won't be able to run ubuntu without the external hard drive. [15:02] dpreacher: possibly; I think it's just pending a while on a response from the remote host [15:02] faaf3ja: you can connect with a terminal-serial client like minicom [15:02] !info minicom [15:02] minicom (source: minicom): friendly menu driven serial communication program. In component main, is optional. Version 2.3-1ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 170 kB, installed size 1160 kB [15:02] ActionParsnip: hmm, ok, what would i have to put in /etc/fstab to make it do that? [15:03] faaf - ok that is desired result. so edit menu.lst and remove any reference to windows yes ? [15:03] richardcavell: probably there is something I could do to imitate a keyboard or mouse movement, or something to kick off screen saver or something to keep computer active [15:03] guest1: Install the boot loader that comes with the System Rescue CD. That should fix everything. [15:03] erUSUL: From livecd scale? But it always takes a long time or not then? [15:03] thomson: its too complex to explain in irc, if you websearch then you will find guides [15:03] ActionParsnip : What does that command do [15:03] guest1: UNCOMMENT references to to windows. Not remove them. [15:03] thhp, can u suggest if there is some other forum or channel i can get a more elaborate insight into the workings of the socket call [15:03] faaf3ja - system rescue cd ??? didnt get anything like that with computer.. renting it. [15:03] thomson: you may find the installer has an option to set it up for you [15:03] Blizzerand: which one? [15:03] erUSUL: Thanks. Perfect. [15:03] faaf - ok will try [15:03] where can I download ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS? [15:03] MaleXachi: you can not edit mounted partitions livecd is the only option [15:03] guest1: It's a free CD you download. [15:03] ActionParsnip: ok, thanks [15:04] ActionParsnip : lsof | grep /mount/point | less [15:04] faaf - ok i'll do that too. [15:04] erUSUL: Oh okay, thanks [15:04] dpreacher: possibly asking the openssh team would be a good place to start [15:04] Please, how on irssi i can see my different channel on irc ? [15:04] dpreacher: they might have a more relevent insight [15:04] forces: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/hardy/daily-live/current/ [15:04] btw thhp despite so many open calls with 3 as fd how'd you reckon it could've been the socket() call? did you search all over for =3 ? [15:04] faaf - simple to install boot loader on rescue cd ? [15:04] shane2peru: There's a piece of hardware called mouse jiggler that does that [15:04] i think so too thhp [15:04] thanks [15:04] Please, how on irssi i can see my different channel on irc ? [15:04] slowly moves your mouse back and forth. It looks like a flash drive. Just plugs into USB [15:05] richardcavell: ohh, let me look into that! [15:05] that's a daily build [15:05] ducky__: change btween open channels ? Alt + number [15:05] guest1: It's a lot of guessing. But if you get it wrong you can just start over. You won't lose any data. [15:05] Blizzerand: lsof shows all open files (hence lsof). It greps for files on the mount point, then shoves it into less so if there is a lot of text it doesnt scroll the screen like mad [15:05] ducky__: Didn't we answer you about an hour ago? [15:05] 1 [15:05] shane2peru: Just google mouse jiggler [15:05] when will be avaible in the official mirrors? [15:05] dpreacher: more or less -- it occurred to me that socket() also returns an fd [15:05] it's only 15 bucks [15:05] forces: yes it is [15:05] richardcavell: ahh, it isn't in the repos [15:05] i didnt see the answer sorry :s [15:05] dpreacher: and since the open() calls didn't look too likely it was the next suspect ;-) [15:05] shane2peru: I said hardware [15:06] What's a mouse jiggler? [15:06] richardcavell: ahh, missed that, I figured it was a software [15:06] dpreacher: good luck with tracking down the problem, sorry I couldn't be of more help === [DaRK-SkG] is now known as [SkG] [15:06] no, it's not [15:06] richardcavell: I'm not that interested in getting hardware, there must be a software way [15:06] faaf - any order i should do this in ? 1. edit menu, 2. reinstal boot ? [15:06] shane2peru: I just found the answer for you [15:07] hi , I just burned a disc , but when I click eject button on my dvdrom it said "Cannot unmount volume" "An application is preventing the volume 'Data disc (14 Jul 09)' from being unmounted." [15:07] shane2peru: while true; do sleep 10; xdotool mousemove 0 0; xdotool mousemove 10 10; done [15:07] I have 2 chan open, but when i do " alt 1 " or " alt 2 " they are nothing :s [15:07] http://ubuntu-releases.cs.umn.edu/ [15:07] richardcavell: I'm all ears [15:07] ActionParsnip: would this be what you were talking about? http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindowsfstab [15:07] lunable to open swap file for /etc/fstab, recovery impossible [15:07] Unable* [15:07] how do I eject my disc ? [15:07] shane2peru: What you do is call the application with the prefix gnome-power-manager-inhibit [15:07] guest1: Edit menu. If that doesn't work then reinstall boot. But there's a very big chance it could work without reinstalling the boot loader. [15:07] how can i auto-update my system clock from the net at regular intervals? [15:07] what application that prevent it to be unmount ? [15:07] hbekel: that will wiggle the mouse cursor, and fool the computer into thinking someone is here? [15:07] thomson: sure, just change the mount points and device and you got a winner [15:07] Guys, how do i mount / ? [15:07] hi to everyone [15:08] shane2peru: excactly, just install xdotool [15:08] StrangeCharm: usually, ntpd does that. [15:08] ActionParsnip: k, thanks [15:08] ubuntunewbie: there is a file or files open that are on the partition [15:08] I have a problem, I need to acces to a MacBook HD from a live ubuntu [15:08] shane2peru: but there's probably a better way [15:08] StrangeCharm: and on Ubuntu it's already configured. [15:08] grawity- it's not doing it regularly enough. i need it to do so more often [15:08] I want to mount /dev/hda but it simply doesn't exists [15:08] hbekel: that will work very nicely for me, I can include it in scripts too! [15:08] can anyone help me with my vid card drivers, i just installed ubunti 9,04 for the first time [15:08] shane2peru: So to launch xchat, you change the menu item to "gnome-power-manager-inhibit xchat" [15:09] and then as long as xchat is running, your computer won't hibernate [15:09] StrangeCharm: ...why? [15:09] richardcavell: did you see that? look up at hbekel's response [15:09] ActionParsnip: But you should be able to boot into rescue mode. mount the / partition in /mnt and comment out the fstab entry ..... dude, help, the boss just left me this message! im a total noob! [15:09] richardcavell: ahh, I will paste it here: while true; do sleep 10; xdotool mousemove 0 0; xdotool mousemove 10 10; done [15:09] bluegoon: huh? [15:09] faaf - ok have commented out bottom end of menu.lst - do i need to upload it into bootstrap somehow ? [15:10] !mount | bluegoon [15:10] bluegoon: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [15:10] !fstab | bluegoon [15:10] bluegoon: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [15:10] so, just to confirm, change home from 50GB to 10GB and increase root from 10GB or leave it the same? [15:10] bluegoon: those will help lots. I gotta jet [15:10] Good morning everyone! [15:10] shane2peru: that will work but the idea I gave is the 'correct' solution [15:10] grawity- i'm running it in a vm, and the clock becomes inaccurate quickly, and regularly when i susped and restore snapshots, and my clock needs to be accurate for cryptographic applications [15:10] ActionParsnip : I dont understand , I close all related file that links to the dvd rom [15:10] ActionParsnip: dude, but how do i mount "/"?? [15:11] hbekel: haha, I could use that as a practical joke too, on my buddy, go into his crontab and set it up to run every 50 seconds, lol [15:11] bluegoon, did you read those links yet? [15:11] ubuntunewbie: use lsof to check which files are open on the cdrom [15:11] thhp asking around in openssh channel, lets see what happens [15:11] anyone use frostwire by any chance? [15:11] can someone please help me? [15:11] thomson: I'm still saying increase / from 10 Gigs. How much stuff do you put in /home? If you're not a huge porn downloader you won't need more than 10 gigs [15:11] StrangeCharm: apt-get install ntp, and edit /etc/ntp.conf [15:11] okay then grawity [15:12] richardcavell: haha, what will increasing the root partition allow for? [15:12] bazhang: its a bit complicated, i have a RAID 5 here, newly installed, we swopped raid controllers, now the freaking thing boots but freaks out, something about sdb1 [15:12] richardcavell: would that open up xchat?, or just pretend to open it? [15:13] guest1: Just reboot [15:13] guest1: Wait. How many hard drives do you have [15:13] faaf - i have 1 internal 2 external [15:13] shane2peru: try it. Put gnome-power-manager-inhibit in front of any bash command and it will simply run that command and not let your computer sleep while it is running [15:13] pebo_: test [15:13] whops, sorry [15:14] zetaz: cat /proc/partitions [15:14] richardcavell: that actually launches the app [15:14] can anyone help me with vid card drivers? [15:14] richardcavell: ahh, so I would run, gnome-power-manager-inhibit myscript [15:14] thomson: Well, I'm just thinking that 10 Gigs is about as small as you could get and still be comfortable. You're not short on space so I'd give it some breathing room. Like I said, the moment you install some software that chews up hard disk, like VBox, you'll run out [15:14] Slart: I type lsof , a list of file generating on the terminal , how do I Check ? I can't scroll up anymore [15:14] richardcavell: right, got it, thanks, that is exactly what I want to do! [15:14] !ask | patrinstar [15:14] patrinstar: 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. :-) [15:14] shane2peru: yeah, so what's the problem? [15:15] zetaz: does that help? [15:15] oh, thanks. im new, obvisely [15:15] richardcavell: no, I thought you meant specifically xchat, not any command, [15:15] ubuntunewbie: use grep to filter the output lsof | grep -i /media/cdrom should give you a list of open files on the cdrom [15:15] richardcavell: ok, so about 20 - 30 GB? [15:15] shane2peru: Yes, it is. You can edit your menus to put that in front of the command line that is run when a menu item is selected, for example [15:15] richardcavell: now I put 2 + 2 together and get it. [15:15] hbekel: response to cat /proc/partitions : loop0 and ramzswap0 [15:15] Hey guys! :) [15:16] richardcavell: actually it is all scripted out stuff, so that is easier, I can write that into the script [15:16] richardcavell: thanks! that is a truly a gold nugget [15:16] hbekel: can I private msg to you? It's difficult to read here :) [15:16] shane2peru: Okay. Or you could do gnome-power-manager-inhibit sh myscript.sh [15:16] thomson: Yeah, I reckon so [15:16] hbekel: thanks for that info on the xdotool, that sounds like I could have fun with that. [15:16] Can someone help me partition a drive and reinstall Linux Mint? [15:17] shane2peru: xdotool is sweet [15:17] !mint | topher_ [15:17] topher_: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

[15:17] ubuntunewbie: then it might have crashed.. kill it by using "kill " [15:17] Slart: saw at system monitor kill it now [15:18] !mintsupport [15:18] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint on irc.spotchat.org [15:18] Udev is very slow on bootup [15:18] Slart: Thanks it ejected [15:18] thomson: Ubuntu already includes the ntfs-3g driver by default. [15:18] ah, nice [15:19] says e2fsck: cannot continue, aborting... [15:19] /dev/sdb1 is mounted. e2fsck: Cannot continue, aborting. [15:19] bluegoon: umount the partition before fscking [15:19] Boohbah: ok its dropped me to shell, how do i unmount it? < linux newb [15:20] anyone know of any issues with ubuntu 904 and booting laptops on batteries ? my hp seems to hang after grub when starting on battery but A/C starts normal [15:20] devbox [15:20] sorry* [15:20] bluegoon: sudo umount /dev/sdb1 [15:20] Slart: so what is lsof ? and lsof | grep -i ? means ? wanted to learn more . [15:20] Boohbah: let me try one sec [15:20] Baba_B00ie: Do you know how to set kernel options? [15:20] ubuntunewbie: LiStOpenFiles [15:20] edbian, not really === faaf3ja is now known as rashed2020 [15:20] ubuntunewbie: lsof means "list open files".. that just makes a big long list of open files of all kinds [15:20] I'm sorry but when i do " alt + 1 " or other number, i cant access to my other channel :( [15:20] Boohbah: ok done, what should i do now? [15:20] bluegoon: this is normal behaviour. You can fsck it while it's mounted [15:20] ubuntunewbie: grep will search the output of lsof for the specified string [15:20] edbian, what needs to be done, i can use our friend google ;) [15:21] bluegoon: this is normal behaviour. You CAN'T fsck it while it's mounted [15:21] bluegoon: sudo e2fsck /dev/sdb1 [15:21] how can i use update-manager -d to install karmic via cli in a tty? [15:21] Boohbah: dude, it states /dev/sdb1: not found [15:21] ubuntunewbie: the pipe character | means that it sends the output to another command.. in this case we send it to grep which is used to filter text [15:21] i wish people in the frostwire community chat would help moi lol [15:21] richardcavell: /dev/sdb1: not found ... ? [15:21] I'm sorry but when i do " alt + 1 " or other number, i cant access to my other channel :( [15:22] ubuntunewbie: grep "something" will just return the lines that contain the string "something".. if we add -i we make the search case insensitive.. it we will get "something" "Something" "someTHING" and so on [15:22] Baba_B00ie: When you turn on the system and you're looking at grub you can press "e" for edit and then set the kernel options. [15:22] Baba_B00ie: The option you want to set is "acpi=off" [15:22] Hi how can I start a program (e.g., pidgin) on workspace 2 on login [15:22] Boohbah: WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause SEVERE filesystem damage. [15:22] ducky__: Maybe you don't have any other channels open. Have you tried joining #irssi and asking there?

Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [15:22] edbian, ok sounds good, anything else ? [15:22] bluegoon: You said it was mounted. When you do df -h what does it say? [15:22] why cant i use update-manager -d in a terminal? is there another way to upgrade via terminal? [15:22] Slart , Boohbah : thank you a lot for explaining ! :-D [15:22] ubuntunewbie: piping output to grep is a very common way of filtering output/files/logs.. almost anything [15:22] ubuntunewbie: you're welcome [15:22] Tnks [15:23] terminhell: apt-get upgrade [15:23] bluegoon: umount it first [15:23] richardcavell: let me check mount [15:23] Boohbah: i did unmount it! [15:23] ubuntunewbie: have a look at this.. free to download.. contains lots of good stuff http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com [15:23] bluegoon: Yes, don't do that [15:23] Baba_B00ie: Not unless you have any questions! [15:23] LordLandon: and with that ill be able to upgrade to 9.10? [15:23] Baba_B00ie: If it works I can show you how to set it permanently. [15:23] edbian, thanks i'll reboot and set thanks [15:23] bluegoon: do you get any output from 'mount |grep sdb1' ? [15:23] Baba_B00ie: NP [15:23] bluegoon: slow down and don't try to run fsck until you know what's happening [15:23] richardcavell: ok did the df -h, get /dev/sda3 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 [15:24] terminhell: there's do-release-upgrade too. [15:24] edbian, i'll be back if it works [15:24] Need help partitioning! [15:24] /dev/sda3 is /, /dev/sdb1 *problem one* is /srv [15:24] topher_: Oh yeah? [15:24] Slart , thanks for the link now looking [15:24] bluegoon: try sudo umount /dev/sdb1 [15:24] topher_: I can help :) [15:24] richardcavell: [15:24] bluegoon: did you type it correctly before? [15:24] richardcavell: kk [15:24] richardcavell: yea mate [15:25] richardcavell: it states: /dev/sdb1 not found [15:25] bluegoon: if df shows the partition it's still mounted [15:25] bluegoon: So is it mounted or unmounted? [15:25] Booit does, but umount shows its not. [15:25] richardcavell: i really dont know, all these drives are hooked up to a raid controller. [15:25] grawity: how would i use that exactly? [15:25] anyone know of a good website to host a small chunk of code on to pass to someone else? [15:26] HDD size: 298.09 GB ------- partition scheme -- PRIMARY: Windows (1x NTFS 50GB), Ubuntu (1x ext3 root 20GB, 1x swap 2GB, 1x ext3 home 10GB), LOGICAL: storage (1x NTFS 216.09 GB) [15:26] we swopped out raid controllers, could that have freaked out the OS? [15:26] there... how is that? [15:26] kind of like a imageshack for text? [15:26] thomson: looks good to me [15:26] SmoKeyCastle: pastebin? [15:26] !paste | SmoKeyCastle [15:26] I found the answer [15:26] SmoKeyCastle: 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 [15:26] bluegoon: It sounds fscked up to me [15:26] the old commands (i see it if i push the up key on keyboard), can be put in a txt file? [15:26] excellent [15:26] It wasnt to do " alt + 1 ", it's to do " ctrl + n " [15:26] grawity: it just says that theres no new release [15:26] richardcavell: damn, this is a brand new one..$$$$ [15:26] time to format [15:26] not tonight though [15:27] richardcavell: maybe the problem isnt with linux, but the raid controller itself, might want to check the config on the controller. [15:27] bluegoon: type mount /dev/sdb1 and tell us what it says [15:27] you won't ruin anything [15:27] richardcavell: kk [15:27] richardcavell: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist [15:28] bluegoon: Jesus [15:28] richardcavell: lol, ? [15:28] bluegoon: you sure you're typing everything correctly? [15:28] if I burned a cd image to a dvd, should I expect it to work? [15:28] richardcavell: yea dude, had typing in school. [15:28] bluegoon, sudo fdisk -l [15:29] bluegoon: Yeah, do that [15:29] richardcavell: k [15:29] UnderSampled: Yes, no problem [15:29] ok sda's are fine, sdb doesnt contain a valid partition table [15:30] the old commands (i see it if i push the up key on keyboard), can be put in a txt file? [15:30] richardcavell: ok [15:30] bluegoon: That doesn't sound good [15:30] stratocaster, they already are.. in .bash_history [15:30] bluegoon: Do you have anything on there that you're trying to keep? [15:30] richardcavell: freaking *$(939ing $500 Raid controller! [15:31] stratocaster: they are put automatically by the shell in its history file [15:31] richardcavell: yes, 1 tb company backup. === LioTheSurfer is now known as baubau [15:31] erUSUL: but only once you exit the shell. [15:31] bluegoon: Wait on a minute. Did you partition them before or after you added them to the RAID controller? [15:31] good morning all. where can i get flash player for an amd 64 architecture? .. can't find it on adobe site [15:31] does anybody know of a good bash scripting tutorial? [15:31] hi if I use dd I can copy an entire win partition in another partition and then copy it back and it will be bootable? [15:31] bastidrazor: what's tha path of .bash_history? [15:31] bluejeans: it's there, you just have to search a little [15:31] bluejeans: it should be available from adobe.. look harder.. google with site: or inurl: or whatever the keyword is called [15:31] richardcavell: not sure, this machine was running fine, with a raid controller, another's raid controller died, gave THIS one a new raid controller, moving its old raid controller to the machine's thats raid c ontroller died. [15:31] stratocaster: ~/.bash_history [15:32] bluejeans: it's an alpha release [15:32] vlad, http://www.network-theory.co.uk/docs/bashref/ [15:32] grawity: nope you can searcvh your history and see it in multiple ways.. my facorite is Crtl + r to search backwards in history [15:32] stratocaster: you might want to use history -w [15:32] hi if I use dd I can copy an entire win partition in another partition and then copy it back and it will be bootable? [15:32] I just installed bastille. Now how do I start it sudo bastille -x doesn't do it. [15:32] erUSUL: that I know, but the history is only stored in memory until you exit/logout that particular shell. [15:32] stratocaster, ~/.bash_history [15:32] bluegoon: If those disks were not partitioned using that RAID controller then I wouldn't be surprised if everything's SNAFU [15:32] hm.. ok. i'll keep looking. thanks all [15:32] thanks man [15:32] richardcavell: do you think this issue is rather due to a bad RAID configuration? it was working fine with the old raid controller. [15:32] hey, got a question. i want to switch the kernel from generic x86/x86_64 to amd64-k8 ive installed the "dummy package's, linux-image-amd64-k8, headers and so on, but it stops there, doesnt download the real packages. do u need to edit any config to set the system to amd64-k8 or? [15:32] richardcavell: ah ok, cool. [15:32] i have an ati readon 9200se video card, when i first installed unbuntu 9.04 i could use 2048x1024 resolution on one monitor, i did all the updates and now i can only go as high as 1024x768 and i cant figure out how to get it back to at least the 2048, and i'd like to get back to dual monitor. can anyone help me [15:33] baubau: please don't repeat ... Yes, but you will have to restore the windows bootloader to the dest drive [15:33] so just a fixmbr? [15:33] bastidrazor, grawity: in my home i haven't this directory [15:33] if your idea is to recover data from them, you need to set them up the way they were before [15:33] if you want to use them with the new RAID controller, you should reformat them all over again [15:33] but you will obviously lose all your data [15:33] stratocaster: it's a file. [15:33] baubau yep [15:33] stratocaster, it isn't a directory. a file [15:33] thx man bb [15:33] patrinstar: What is the output of xrandr -q? [15:34] bastidrazor, grawity: it's true! i can open it with gedit? [15:34] patrinstar: This command lists what the video card is capable of doing with the driver currently loaded. [15:34] !generic | simeon_ [15:34] simeon_: Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed) [15:34] ok, hold on let me check, im totally brand new to this [15:34] stratocaster: yes, it's just a simple text document. [15:34] patrinstar: NP! (when you say something start with my name like I am doing for you). [15:34] bluegoon: Okay, so at least we know what's causing your problems [15:34] grawity: and bash_logout? [15:34] bluegoon: Your hardware is working as expected [15:35] bluegoon: Any one of those disks is useless without the original RAID controller set up the way it was before [15:35] stratocaster: ~/.bash_logout is sourced every time you log out. [15:35] ah, explans it [15:36] bluegoon: I'm assuming that the RAID method was not just creating redundant backups but rather striping across multiple drives [15:36] edbian_ the driver says max 1024x768 [15:36] richardcavell: it appears so yes, RAID 5 setups [15:36] grawity: i can open it with gedit? [15:36] stratocaster: ....try it and see. [15:36] bluegoon: Okay so you need to plug in the original disks with the original RAID controllers [15:37] and don't try to fsck them or else you'll bollock them completely [15:37] grawity: perfect! thanks! [15:37] bluegoon: RAID1 is Better than RAID5. See wiki pages for more info [15:37] richardcavell: yea, cool beans, just found out the data was backed up on this one with the iffy raid configuration. [15:37] how do install this? [15:37] stratocaster: there's also ~/.profile and ~/.bashrc that might be interesting. [15:37] patrinstar: What card do you have? [15:37] Speedy_: Install what? === edbian_ is now known as edbian [15:37] richardcavell: so im happy about that at least, thanks Richard, i owe you my paycheque [15:38] i have a 25gb partition with windows on it and 14gb free space [15:38] edbian_ wait, it says it can go higher but i cant do it through the display properties [15:38] ubuntu 9 [15:38] Speedy_ you want to install ubuntu? [15:38] I want fluxbox theme [15:38] yes [15:38] patrinstar: What is the highest resolution listed? [15:38] bluegoon: Wow, I've never heard that before! LOL [15:38] !install | Speedy_ start reading here [15:38] Speedy_ start reading here: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

I must go out. bye [15:39] reason is that 2.6.24-24 and -23 is unstable on my system, when the network activity is high the net goes down due to some memory leak (i think) and brings the whole network down, some strange shit, all my other computers in the same switch kind of nukes by the buggy one [15:39] edbian_ ati raedon 9200se [15:39] anyone used ksplice? [15:39] wondering if it works as well as I hope it does [15:39] patrinstar: What driver are you using? How did you try to switch your resolution? Using xrandr? [15:40] richardcavell: lol :D [15:40] I am having problem installing ufw [15:40] Hello. [15:40] edbian_ how do i find otu what driver im using? i tried to change it through the display settings. im using ubuntu 9.04 [15:40] anirban: I think it's installed by default, isn't it? [15:40] !ufw [15:40] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [15:40] bluegoon: I take it your company boss is going to be happy with you now? [15:41] anirban, installing or configuring; try gufw for gui [15:41] patrinstar: The best way to tell what driver you're using is with the command line. In linux drivers are called modules. You can run "sudo lsmod" to list the modules that are currently being used. The trick is to know what you're looking for. Radeon cards either use fglrx (proprietary from ATI) or radeon (open source). [15:41] I am on a shell and not on a GUI as it is Ubuntu Server . Its a VPS [15:41] I am at the command prompt in Ubuntu 8.10, and I want to change the terminal text to blue, but I don't know how (the GUI is not loaded, and I want to do this here). Help? [15:42] Question [15:42] !ask [15:42] 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. :-) [15:42] I just got a read/write error when attempting to resize my ext3 partition in Gparted [15:42] What can I do? [15:42] (How could I also change the mount permissions on my drive?) [15:43] I saw the command before, but I dorgot it. [15:43] patrinstar: You can combine lsmod with | grep to filter the output. lsmod | grep fglrx. Will take the output of lsmod and filter it for the phrase fglrx. It will then print out only the lines that have "fglrx" somewhere in them. Handy little tool. [15:43] *forgot [15:43] patrinstar: Do you understand? [15:43] codyxx: uh oh [15:43] codyxx: could be real bad [15:43] edbian_ radeon [15:44] error code : http://pastebin.ca/1494728 [15:44] codyxx: are you still in gparted? [15:44] Nope [15:44] I am on my distro [15:44] patrinstar: You're using the open source driver?

[15:44] codyxx: you need to fsck everything [15:44] edbian_ i believe so, im not sure [15:44] I have [15:44] richardcavell: yea well i hope so :) [15:44] and see what has survived [15:44] richardcavell: the guys in charge are very heavy linux experts, i cant ask them though, not allowed to. [15:44] Oh, all data has survived [15:45] richardcavell: they are busy with a 600k user mail migration from south africa to france atm, so i get beaten if i speak.. :( [15:45] does anyone know how to get my laptop sound control to control the sound I use? [15:46] anybody plz look after my problem plz plz . error code : http://pastebin.ca/1494728 [15:46] bluegoon: I quite understand. I have a *#%!* boss too [15:46] patrinstar: If "radeon" was anywhere in the output of lsmod the you're using the radeon driver. [15:46] then you're* [15:46] codyxx: are you sure? You don't know until you fsck [15:46] edbian_ it was, so it is open source [15:46] patrinstar: Ok :) [15:46] LargePrime: you mean the special keys? What laptop do you have? [15:46] I have already fscked my drive about 4 times [15:46] within the past 2 days [15:46] patrinstar: Remember that error you got / showed me? What did you do that created that error? [15:47] patrinstar: "Method invoked for ApplyConfiguration returned FALSE but did not set error" <--- ?? [15:47] codyxx: after you got the read/write error? [15:47] yep [15:47] chaosphere: zx8000. it has volume controll keys at the top. these move a slider, but the slider does not controll the audio I use [15:48] anirban: have run apt-get update === scfh_ is now known as scfh [15:48] anirban: dont know if it matters but your line in terminal says your already root root@web2dziner:~# sudo apt-get install ufw and then your using sudo also [15:48] largeprime [15:48] edbian_ when i went into display settings i clicked on my primary monitor which is the only one working, and went and selected my resolution size to 1280x1024, which is the highest res size i can select, when i clicked on apply thats the error message i got [15:48] codyxx: okay, good [15:48] now, what's your question? [15:48] no adobe flash for 64-bit [15:48] how do you add a kernel module? [15:48] How could I change the mount permissions on my drive? [15:48] http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/000/6b3af6c9.html [15:49] LargePrime: so you mean that volume bar at the top right panel moves, but nothing else happens? [15:49] Hey all [15:49] To essentially mount not at root, but with my username and password [15:49] /etc/modules doesnt exist [15:49] I forgot the command, but I saw it in the ubuntu forums [15:49] Is there any technical reason why the repositories couldn't just hold all the old versions of packages? [15:49] dunno [15:49] codyxx: unmount and then remount [15:50] From a live cd? [15:50] JohnFlux: bandwith? storege capacity? adminstration overhead ? etc ? [15:50] erUSUL: why would bandwidth come into it? [15:50] patrinstar: hang on a sec === maarek is now known as MaarekStele [15:50] chaosphere: no. I mean the volume control keys pop a volume graphic, that moves, but it disconnected (does not effect) from the vol bar on the panel. [15:50] erUSUL: hmm it would make apt-get update use more bandwidth [15:50] edbian_ no problem [15:51] JohnFlux: mirroring [15:51] fccf: ah yeah === LioTheSurfer is now known as yoman [15:51] JohnFlux: You may get a more thought-out answer to that question in #ubuntu-motu [15:51] chaosphere: the panel vol controll works, and I can set it to whatever I change teh sound system to [15:51] codyxx: I'm not sure I understand what you're asking [15:51] hello, what is the device manager known as in jaunty? [15:52] is there anyone who knows well how to use dd? [15:52] codyxx: You want to remount a hard disk partition from a liveCD? === maarek is now known as MaarekStele [15:52] /join #ubuntu-my [15:52] strang3r: gnome-device-manager [15:52] ty [15:52] patrinstar: What was the highest resolution listed with xrandr -q ? [15:52] No, there was a command I saw that would essentially allow the drive to mount by username and password and not by root, thereby allowing read/write permissions again [15:52] chaosphere: I do not know how to change the settings on the application that controlls mt laptop softkeys [15:53] Or I was wondering if there is any other way to bypass the read/write error [15:53] edbian_ 1280x1200 [15:53] I need help with dd. Anyone who know well how to use it? [15:53] yoman: dd is quite simple, it copies data [15:53] codyxx: the read/write error didn't come from permissions [15:53] you should be running gparted as root [15:54] yoman: what are you trying to copy? [15:54] patrinstar: which isn't high enough correct? [15:54] a win partition NTFS [15:54] edbian_ yes [15:54] yoman: man dd [15:54] patrinstar: You want 2048X1024 [15:55] What do you think it came from? [15:55] I want to make a backup of this in another partition, then create a 100mb partition at the start of the hard drive to install grub and then copy win back [15:55] edbian_ yes if its possible. i know windows can do it, so unbuntu should be better ;-) [15:55] patrinstar: How did you set up your dual monitors? What program did you use? [15:55] when installing ff3.5 can i remove the previous version? [15:55] edbian_ and dual monitor [15:55] edbian_ none [15:55] patrinstar: You've never gotten it up in ubuntu? [15:55] MK13 yes you can [15:56] codyxx: I think your hardware came up with an error [15:56] yoman: dd if=/input/path/to/file of=/output/path/to/file bs=block_size count=blocks_count [15:56] codyxx: that's the kind of error that could signal your disk is about to break [15:56] richard, how ( i don't wanna break 3.5 :) [15:56] or it just sometimes happens [15:56] edbian_ i did everythign through the display settings, i turned it on once and screwed up both monitors i couldnt see anything [15:56] richardcavell, , how ( i don't wanna break 3.5 :) [15:56] ohir: yeah I know the command, but I dunno if it's possible to do what I wanna do [15:57] You can uninstall 3.0 and then install 3.5 if you like [15:57] i want to know where ubuntu's gedit is located like in what folder [15:57] the package manager shouldn't let you break dependencies [15:57] LargePrime: so that zx8000 is from what company? [15:57] yoman: and as linux is of unix ancestry, everthing is a file. Your /dev is full of files. Special files. [15:57] MK13: i was told in channel #firefox that i should not remove firefox 3.0 after installing 3.5 [15:58] datta: go to a terminal and type: whereis gedit [15:58] MK13, you should not === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam [15:58] chaosphere: hp. sorry. kinda (in)famouse laptop [15:58] legend2440, maybe because 3.5 currently has a vuln? [15:58] bazhang: But you can uninstall 3.0 and then install 3.5 fresh? [15:58] richardcavell, it will just reinstall 3.0 if you have removed it. [15:59] yoman: basicaly you want to do dd if=/dev/rawdisk_device_file of=/home/backup/partition_backup bs=1024k count=partition_size_in_MiB [15:59] to sum up: I have in order 50gb WIN - 50gb LIN - 200gb NTFS. I want to copy the first 50 gb in the 200gb, then redimension the first gigs and create 2 partition 1 for grub (100mb) and 1 for win again. Then copy it back and make it boot as usual [15:59] bazhang: deja vu. You can uninstall 3.0 and run just 3.5 if youw ant [15:59] FF 3.5 is a little incompatible on my puter [15:59] bazhang, y not? [15:59] Hi all! I need help setting up NFS between two debian machines. I keep having permission issues... Is there a way to get root rw access at all times? [16:00] owner: What does your /etc/exports line look like? [16:00] yoman: so you want to copy 50 gigs into 4.9gigs ? [16:00] patrinstar: Check this out: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174 [16:00] patrinstar: I feel like I don't have the experience to help you :( [16:00] there it doesnt work for the thing i wanted because i wanted it for my default editor of greasemonkey [16:00] MK13, installing 3.5 will bring in 3.0 if you have removed it. 3.5 is unofficial, thus branded shiretoko [16:00] yoman: nowadays it even can be blockdevicefile so: dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/home/bak/sda1_1024_122120k_bak.img bs=1024k count=122120 [16:00] hbekel: yes that's the point. My installation has 30gb occupied out of 50. Is it possible to copy it back? [16:01] in 49.9? [16:01] does anyone know how to set up the default editor for greasemonkey to gedit [16:01] bazhang, gotcha, thnx [16:01] yoman: you want to do a dynamic resize, not bugger about with dd [16:01] yoman: not with dd, you'll have to resize your partitions [16:01] yoman: real partition sizes you oughta get from sudo fdisk -l /dev/hdddevice [16:01] yes but the risk of data loss is higher [16:01] it's a NTFS filesystem [16:01] moltenbobcat: on the host i have '/ 193.136.0.2(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)' [16:01] edbian_ its all right, so i should get this program? mergedfb [16:01] does anyone know how to pair an apple wireless keyboard (bluetooth) in jaunty? [16:01] yoman: Make a backup for the love of God [16:02] it keeps on giving me an error of finding the executable file [16:02] datta: system>preferences>preferred applications [16:02] yoman: dd just copies raw data, it doesn't know anything about partitions [16:02] yeah but I was thinking about ntfs partitioning [16:02] wow, should read carefuly what yoman wanna do [16:02] yoman: What you're trying to do is asking for trouble [16:03] fccf sorry but there is not help with that [16:03] yes but I read multiple answers and I'm tryna reply back [16:03] that's the confusion :/ [16:03] i'm trying to get the bluetooth mac address of the keyboard but when i run hcitool scan [16:03] yoman: get gparted to work and resize. Prepare for damn long resize with 49.9GiB out of 50GiB [16:03] i get an 'invalid argument' error [16:03] is there another way to get the bluetooth mac address? [16:03] that's the final answer? [16:03] yoman: dd is the wrong tool [16:04] chaosphere: You googleing this? I could find nothing that works. [16:04] yoman: use gparted not dd and for God's sake make a backup [16:04] owner: so what do the filesystem permissions look like? who owns the files etc [16:04] hey guys my mom is needing a new OS her computer is going so slow it is pathetic... would ubuntu be a good choice for her? all she does is get on myspace/facebook/pogo.com/ and that's pretty much it [16:04] k I will [16:04] yoman, backup with tar ?? [16:04] yoman, that way you don't have to worry about the destination partition size [16:05] Klowny: Ubuntu's Firefox works fine with those sites [16:05] that's interesting [16:05] Klowny: why don't you download a live cd and st her down in front of it and have her see what she thinks give a list of reasons why you think it sgood and let her make her own decision [16:05] LargePrime: and having a look at the packets. searching for that one to edit hp softkeys support [16:05] Well, it resized my HFS+ partition fine [16:05] That is what perplexes me [16:05] yes molten i got ubuntu on my machine and i like it and it's pretty easy for the regular user [16:05] never mind anyone found the answer in ubuntuforums [16:05] and my regular install cd has the option for a live cd too so i am gonna try that out [16:06] though i know the OS runs very slow while under the live cd option [16:06] LargePrime: did you had a look at /etc/init.d ? perhaps you can find there what is loaded to get the softkeys to work [16:06] Is there a way to monitor how much data does a SSH Tunnel consume? [16:06] but why when I boot with the gparted live cd it sees only unallocated space? [16:06] chaosphere: Carry on. If you got a moment I would like to know what 'packets' you are searching are... [16:06] lol i feel like i am trying to convert my mother back to the good side [16:06] she's on windows xp and she is virus filled and at least with ubuntu there are less chances of viruses [16:06] if any chance [16:06] lol [16:07] chaosphere: No, I just googled for a fix. should I look there now? [16:07] Klowny, copy the livecd on ram [16:07] yoman: you might've messed up your patition table if you've been mucking about with dd, and gparted doesn't know there's a partition there. [16:07] hey all, I am going to format my pc, what (asside from the obvious files I want to keep) should I backup to restore later? (I am upping from 8.04 to 9.04) [16:07] I've never used dd before [16:07] skyred: you could run wireshark... then sort the output [16:08] moltenbobcat: some are owned by root and i need to be able to write to those as a user of the client box [16:08] yoman: did you let vista create those partitions? [16:08] Klowny: it's definately a good choice and it sounds like your doing it for the right reasons remember that you then become the sole point of tech support [16:08] never had vista . I have xp [16:08] her computer is better than mine but mine is faster lol [16:08] lol molten well i am already her sole point of tech support [16:08] but well... no I didn't let win do it [16:08] owner: you could try doing a chmod o+w on the files [16:08] less tech support needed with ubuntu tho, i have had no problems with mine except for frostwire being an ass to me [16:08] that shoudl take care of it [16:08] LargePrime: for example there's a packet for acer laptops to get special functions to work like wireless-lan-button and other softkeys. i think it was called acerhk or so. there must be something like this for hp laptops. Yes, search for something with 'hp' in the name [16:08] chaosphere: hotkey-setup? [16:09] Klowny: so then you might be making your life easier, make sure to think of stuff like printing [16:09] also gparted from ubuntu live can't see partitions [16:09] fccf, would you point me to the relative articles? [16:09] LargePrime: apt-cache search hotkey-setup [16:09] hotkey-setup - auto-configures laptop hotkeys Looks good :) [16:09] but win sees the partitions [16:09] skyred: grep "sport=xxxxx" /proc/net/ip_conntrack [16:09] yoman: does fdisk -l see any? [16:10] chaosphere: sudo? [16:10] skyred: perhaps with watch [16:10] !info wireshark | skyred [16:10] skyred: wireshark (source: wireshark): network traffic analyzer. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.7-1ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 608 kB, installed size 1524 kB [16:10] moltenbobcat: i'm more after root squash i guess, both machines are on LAN [16:10] I'm on win right now [16:10] I can reboot and check it out [16:10] and any digital cameras etc but it can defiantely be a good thing. As long as she doesn't have a virus issue anymore. Just make sure everything works on firefox in ubuntu and she'll probably be fine keep in mind if she uses openoffice or anything like that you probably need to teach her to save her files in the office 97/2000 compat format or whatever [16:10] chaosphere: but it only has video stuff in there [16:10] what is the difference between sdl and glx packages? or do i have that right? [16:11] Klowny: Let her use the live CD but remember it will be very slow from the CD [16:11] Dreki: glx is ati-drivel, sdl is a multimedia library [16:11] going to reboot to ubuntu livecd so I can tell you more [16:11] LargePrime: erm no sry. so then the problem should be in audio configuration. [16:11] owner: are you trying to squash to a particular UID? [16:11] s/drivel/driver [16:11] like all_squash? [16:11] hey all, I am going to format my pc, what (asside from the obvious files I want to keep) should I backup to restore later? (I am upping from 8.04 to 9.04) [16:12] MrPink08: I'd backup your entire home directory [16:12] paavi9_0: thanks [16:12] Paavi2_0: thanks [16:12] MrPink08: and maybe if you customized anything in /etc lik a samaba config or something [16:12] chaosphere: I see no *hp* files in /etc/init.d [16:13] MrPink08: in addition to your home directory you might want to back up some selected settings that reside under /etc [16:13] alright guys I'm tired. L8r d00ds [16:13] !u [16:13] U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' or 'Ur' are words in the English language. Nor are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'Ne1' or 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information. [16:13] MrPink08: do you have etckeeper installed? should help that kind of migration [16:14] kniht: no I dont havent heard of it yet, Ill check it out [16:14] whats up guys? [16:14] but okay home and etc [16:14] i can [16:14] MrPink08: it's one of those things that doesn't help much after the fact :) [16:14] i can't seem to resolve an issue with apt. http://pastebin.com/d25d42a94 [16:14] moltenbobcat: i figured that would be one of the ways.. i just need root at all times... [16:14] LargePrime: then your softkeys are only managed by hotkeys-setup. Have a look at system -> audio. Did you changed there something? can you change the volume with the volume control? [16:14] i received synaptic errors over and over, so i tried reinstalling the package, and now receive that error [16:15] ryann, what were the previous errors [16:15] similar 'sub process' errors [16:15] whenever finishing an apt-get upgrade [16:15] or installing any new package [16:15] ryann, what about update now [16:15] subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 139 [16:16] chaosphere: this happened after update to 9.04. I will look in sys.audio. I can change vol with panel control. In a perfect world the soft key would just pop the panel control [16:16] ryann, sudo apt-get update <--paste.ubuntu.com with the errors [16:16] Can anybody give me a proper Jaunty sources.list ? [16:16] update retrieves package lists just fine [16:17] it seems to be an issue configuring the system post-installation of a package [16:17] hello [16:17] ryann, so what is the problem exact errors to paste.ubuntu.com === elementz1 is now known as elementz [16:17] chaosphere: sys>audio DNE sys> Pref, or sys>Admin? [16:17] the only package currently out of date is plasma-widget-networkmanagement, which continues to have problems so i ignore it === Administrator__ is now known as rocky2 [16:18] ryann, this is kde4.3rc? [16:18] anirban, http://pastebin.com/f5477f43 ... the last repo i added.. disregard it.. PPA for pidgin [16:18] hi i am trying to install apacite (a BibTeX package) and i am running hardy. rather than use the version in hardy which is quite old, I compiled it myself. does anyone know where i should put the stuff? [16:18] i am having problems with my update manager. it sees updates, launches the "downloading package files" window, but nothing appears in that windows and it freezes up at that point [16:18] i went to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1773710 and have copy and pasted the step into *xorg.conf (/etc/x11) - gedit and i want to make sure i do step 3 correctly, so can anyone help guide me through this [16:18] can i reinstall the package manager or something to fix this [16:18] bazhang, http://pastebin.com/d6169d6c9 [16:18] i am running kbuntu karmic [16:18] ryann, which version of kde4 [16:18] kubuntu, karmic dist [16:19] l1m5 run synaptic in a terminal [16:19] ryann, no wonder #ubuntu+1 for that [16:19] tsr, e.g. sudo apt-get update? [16:20] no [16:20] put only synaptic [16:20] 4.2 [16:20] Hi - I'm writing a program and I need it to be able to control the screen power and screensaver state in Ubuntu. What would I hook into to control this? [16:20] tsr, i can't do anything because of the "unable to lock administration directory" [16:20] ah, thanks baz [16:20] tsr, to fix what [16:20] a place for everything [16:20] sudo synaptic [16:21] In other words, I need to be able to turn off the screen with a button and also disable the screen timeout with a button [16:21] tsr, what is the issue, and should be gksudo with graphical apps [16:21] tsr, well the problem is that i can't kill the frozen "downloading package files" window [16:21] how do i do that [16:21] cant kill it? [16:22] l1m5, what version of ubuntu [16:22] with killall? [16:22] Anyone here into Augmented Reality? -.- [16:22] bazhang, jaunty [16:22] chaosphere: I miss you..... [16:22] ctrl+alt+backspace? [16:22] MrPink08, how does this relate to Ubuntu support? [16:22] bazhang: it doesnt directly... although I am interested in running Augmented Reality on an Ubuntu Machine ;) [16:23] am I in the right server? [16:23] LargePrime: oh yes system->pref.->audio or volume control (just a guess) [16:23] MrPink08, is that a program? or just a chat topic? [16:23] i went to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1773710 and have copy and pasted the step into *xorg.conf (/etc/x11) - gedit and i want to make sure i do step 3 correctly, so can anyone help guide me through this [16:23] MrPink08, if the latter please discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic [16:24] ok now I'm on livecd [16:24] i still can't kill the "downloading packages" window [16:24] chaosphere: pref>sound? I do not see anything there to set the softkey to "pulse audio" for example. [16:24] gparted is not seeing anything [16:24] and i'm still getting the error "another synaptic is running" [16:24] bazhang: Well its more a topic... its the fusion of 3D Models and realtime video, with a software based tracking system via webcam.... hard to explain... but ok Ill shut up ^^ [16:24] but fdisk sees everythinh [16:24] l1m5: close the other Synaptic? -.- [16:24] sudo killall synaptic [16:24] Anyone know how to fix Grub error 22? [16:24] LargePrime: but are you sure, that the programs use pulse-audio? [16:24] topher_: how did you get it? [16:25] I need to be able to power off the display and start the screensaver from inside a c++ app I'm writing on ubuntu... What part of the distro controls these? I'm guessing Gnome and I'll check irc.gnome.org if that's right. [16:25] MrPink08, OK that allowed me to kill the other window, but i'm still having problems updating my system [16:25] is there a way to repair my synaptic installation [16:25] LargePrime: perhaps alsa or oss [16:25] l1m5, close all instances of add/remove synaptic etc [16:25] chaosphere: Um, sometimes I have to change it cause of different programs. but what I want is to set the softkey to fit what I need to do [16:26] l1m5, then sudo apt-get update (paste.ubuntu.com with errors , NOT here) [16:26] chaosphere: I can not figgure how to set the soft key to fit what I need. [16:26] maximumbob: not sure where to direct you ... perhaps apm source [16:26] bazhang, now sudo killall synaptic isn't doing anything [16:26] i can't kill the process [16:26] So I have a eeepc 1000he netbook and it has a multitouch touchpad and I'm trying to figure out how to get three finger swipes to work for back and forward in firefox... anyone have any idea? [16:27] l1m5, open up a terminal and type top [16:27] Need help with Grub Error 22 [16:27] fccf: apm? I'm checking on gnome irc right now since I'm guessing that gnome controls that stuff. [16:27] edbian_ you still around [16:27] topher_, dual boot? [16:27] moltenbobcat, the eeepc forums are great for that [16:27] bazhang, top isn't showing any synaptic stuff [16:27] eeeuser.com [16:27] LargePrime: perhaps the problem is, that the softkey controls alsa master and you are using pulse-audio. so the softkeys controls the wrong 'sound device'. Do you get the point? [16:28] bazhang: thanks i'll take a look [16:28] Selam [16:28] bazhang, is there a "repair install" option for jaunty [16:28] i'm having tons of problems [16:28] moltenbobcat, also #eeepc on freenode [16:28] moltenbobcat: I'm very interested in your discoveries on that front - keep us posted. [16:28] l1m5, paste.ubuntu.com with your sources.list [16:28] chaosphere: ya. And you are thinking it is not configurable? [16:29] fuck ' [16:29] fuck ! [16:29] ! [16:29] FrozeL: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:29] anyone know how to solve grub error 18? [16:29] togher_ one sec k? need to edit grub. I assume windows was first, added ubuntu, and deleted some other partition in windows [16:29] so first question is: when you say, you see a popup when you press the buttons what are they actually changing? [16:29] chaosphere, largeprime: I had the same problem when I upgraded to Jaunty, and then again when I bought a USB Sound device. I just go to System-Preference-Sound every time I need to change it. A little annoying. [16:30] LargePrime: so first question is: when you say, you see a popup when you press the buttons what are they actually changing? [16:30] gparted is not seeing any partition [16:30] maximumbob: advanced power managemnet --- gnome is the gui ... you need to find the hardware control to put a moniter into standby [16:30] TwoToneSpirit: I'll let you know if I find anything [16:30] LargePrime: Hmmk. [16:30] Any one familiar with the difference betwwen the "ksplice" package vs the ksplice-uptrack.deb package? [16:30] chaosphere: ya. And once I know that, How do I get it to work? [16:30] maximumbob: and this is offtopic here [16:30] TwoToneSpirit: chaosphere, LargePrime, what was the issue? [16:30] Any one familiar with the difference betwwen the "ksplice" package in the ubuntu repo vs the ksplice-uptrack.deb package? * [16:30] fccf: I was coming here as the first stop to figure out where to go [16:31] Which you're helping me with :p [16:31] chaosphere: TwoToneSpirit klown I can not figgure how to set the volume soft key to fit what I need. [16:31] klown: That, in Intrepid and prior, changing the volume using the tray icon or shortcut keys seemed to always modify the "master" for the current sound device. In Jaunty, at least for me, it only modifies the master for the device set in System-Preferences-Sound [16:31] I can see partitions on fdisk but not on gparted [16:31] how do I find out the exact time of a reboot via terminal? [16:31] togher_ sorry for the delay. give me a sec to fix this. [16:32] LargePrime: It's fine, take your time. [16:32] topher_ sorry for the delay. give me a sec to fix this. [16:32] And fccf: apm looks like it's for putting the whole system in standby, not just the monitor? [16:32] tyler_d: 'last' maybe? [16:32] TwoToneSpirit, LargePrime, ok, different issue than what I'm having. [16:32] Hmm. Anyone know about a bug in compiz that causes terminal backgrounds to become invisible every now and then? [16:32] ksplice has already failed me, and I was wondering if ksplice-uptrack is supposed to handle all distro updates, vs only the ones that require rebooting etc, as I've recently run the reg update manager and have installed updates that require a reboot. :/ [16:32] fccf: think I found it, thanks for help [16:32] ah dunno how to fix this grub error 18 if not making a partition at the very first 100 mb [16:33] so redimension the win xp partition [16:33] I'm glad that the ubuntu docs cover most situations I'll ever need to deal with. [16:33] Now i know that i have to remember to specify to my parents not to install windows and overwrite GRUB. [16:33] has anyone compiled a scanner with flex? I'm getting "undefined reference to `yylex'", whereas on cygwin, it compiles. [16:33] Is there a way to set up the sound device to automatically switch to mic/headset when my usb headset is plugged in? [16:33] Does anyone else have issues with really slow openssh servers in Jaunty? [16:33] grub error 18_ [16:34] ? [16:34] Hiya. This morning, all of a sudden, Jaunty won't see my wired network connection, it just says "wired network disconnected". It's working fine on Jaunty in my laptop through the same cable, just not on my desktop. Any ideas why this may have suddenly happened? Cheers. [16:34] ha, thats it. thanks chaosphere [16:34] so i ran the sudo apt-get update [16:34] and updates popped up [16:35] froze again [16:35] i tried clicking settings [16:35] froze up again [16:35] l1m5: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:35] LargePrime: so not changing the softkeys but changing the sound device, volume tray? [16:35] topher_ sorry for the delay. K did you install windows first? [16:35] l1m5, dont use the enter key so much [16:35] CMooney: define 'really slow' [16:35] bazhang, sorry [16:35] maximumbob: xset dmps force standby [16:35] "Cannot create Symbolic Link, Operation not permitted" even though I ran with sudo... why is this ? [16:35] bazhang, is there anyway to completely reinstall synaptic [16:35] 1lm5: is the partition full? [16:36] l1m5, first you need to do updates from the command line as I instructed; and paste.ubuntu.com with the errors [16:36] chaosphere set the default mixer tracks to what was using seemed to work [16:36] l1m5, its nothing to do with synaptic [16:36] topher_: you here?

This morning, all of a sudden, Jaunty won't see my wired network connection, it just says "wired network disconnected". It's working fine on Jaunty in my laptop through the same cable, just not on my desktop. Any ideas why this may have suddenly happened? Cheers. [16:39] topher_: k [16:39] i cant watch windows-1255 hebrew [16:39] :\ [16:40] rolo: have you tried doing a sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [16:40] are you on the machine now?

Just tried that... just says "* Reconfiguring network interfaces [OK]" and still broken [16:40] topher_: are on the machine now [16:40] LargePrime: Yes, I'm running Ubuntu via disc. [16:41] rolo: yeah if you are using network manager I believe that does nothing [16:41] ok, you can use terminal? [16:41] l1m5, what about when you try to install packages from the command line [16:41] hello everyone [16:41] Yeah [16:41] were is smbs config file? dont know the package name to look for.... [16:41] rolan if you right click on your network icon by the clock [16:41] uncheck the enable [16:41] topher_: you can use terminal? [16:41] and then recheck it [16:41] does that fix it? [16:41] moltenbobcat: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:41] bazhang, i have had no problems in the past doing this [16:41] I'm trying to open Hardware Devices so I could install an ATI driver.. it just keeps "searching" for drivers, taking too long. It never does this.. [16:41] who knows anything about tv tuner cards [16:41] hardware drivers i mean [16:42] were is smbs config file? dont know the package name to look for.... [16:42] LargePrime: Yes, I can use Terminal. [16:42] rolo: didnt you install wicd the other day? [16:42] indus: if you find a good one let me know [16:42] billy: where is the download ? [16:42] l1m5, what about now; try to install something small like vrms [16:42] Tried untick, says it';s disconnected, then retick, same as before [16:42] vrms? [16:42] what is it ? [16:42] pinnacle pctv iam usinh [16:42] ILMAN what? [16:42] I see there's some problems mentioned with DHCP and jaunty. I wonder if I should try putting manual details in? [16:42] are there any instructions somewhere for debugging flash? my flashplayer-nonfree locks up after max 4 mins of browsing, and I cant fix it [16:42] topher_: can you cd to /boot/grub and sudo gedit menu.lst? [16:43] LargePrime: pinnacle pctv 50 i seems fine,but i need to configure remo [16:43] te [16:43] dhclient says "No DHCPOFFERS received" [16:43] LargePrime, topher_ with gedit use gksudo [16:43] bazhang, yes vrms installed just fine from command line [16:43] rolo, wireless? [16:43] Jaunty laptop I'm using now on the same wired network is fine with DHCP tho [16:43] bazhang: wired [16:43] LargePrime: but mythtv is way too overrated, iam using tv time which tuned my channels [16:43] bastidrazor: can you link me why? [16:43] mythtv dont tune indian channels :( [16:43] l1m5, when did this start happening? [16:43] nerdy_kid2: it's under /etc as almost all the "normal" configs [16:44] bazhang, yesterday [16:44] LargePrime Bastidrazor: I need a little walkthrough since I'm a Ubuntu's beginner. [16:44] it ran updates fine and now im having all kinds of weird problems updating [16:44] nerdy_kid2: in this case /etc/smb.conf [16:44] l1m5, following an update? or installation or other [16:44] bazhang, i also can't get my trash to appear on the panel [16:44] Paavi2_0 thanks sorry didnt know that [16:44] !gksudo > LargePrime [16:44] LargePrime, please see my private message [16:44] it did tell me there were updates available although now it cant install them coz of no connection. i wonder if an update broke the networking which means it couldnt finish? [16:44] l1m5, i believe it was following an update [16:44] rolo, does ifconfig show eth0 [16:44] bazhang, i believe it was following an update [16:44] bazhang, but i'm not absolutely sure [16:45] bazhang: yes, ifconfig shows eth0 but no IP address or subnet [16:45] I'm trying to open HARDWARE DRIVERS but it just keeps loading, nothings happening.............................................................. i want to install ATI proprietory drivers [16:45] topher_: open terminal gksudo /boot/gurb/menu.lst something like that. rather new at ubuntu myself [16:45] If I compare it to whats on my laptop it's similar output but missing the IP address and subnet part [16:45] bastidrazor: epic fail [16:45] nerdy_kid2: next time read the ubuntu documentation, please! :) https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/samba-fileserver.html [16:45] l1m5, your sources.list look good, and the updates and installs work from the command line, this is very odd; how much ram on your machine? could be a bug as well [16:45] l1m5: I'd say that it's the network. If you attempt to update before a connection is made to the internet, you'll see that problem. I've ran into it once or twice, now I just wait for the connection to take place [16:46] !gksudo|largeprime [16:46] LargePrime, please see my private message [16:46] Paavi2_0 thanks for link will read [16:46] MaarekStele, I don't think this is the problem as it occurs both at home and at work with separate connections [16:46] MaarekStele: yea, i had that problem before [16:46] Guest34495, no need for the ..... what ati card and which version of ubuntu [16:46] bazhang, i have 4gb of ram [16:46] l1m5: is there anything in the update list that doesn't get updated... like UbuntuOne? [16:46] topher_: you get it open? [16:46] l1m5, could be a theme then, (might try changing one) or video issue [16:47] LargePrime: That command didn't work. [16:47] bastidrazor: thanks much [16:47] bazhang sorry I was holding that while... thinking.. anyways HD4670. Ubuntu Jaunty, the latest [16:47] bazhang, i could try that. is there a way to do a complete 'repair install' of the OS [16:47] bazhang, i need this macine for work and don't really have time to diagnose this seemingly random problem [16:47] Largeprime: gksudo /boot/grub/menu.lst [16:47] Guest34495, the fglrx? that seems to be very problematic in Jaunty, best stick with the radeon driver (open source one) [16:47] Largeprime: Is that correct? [16:47] Any other ideas? [16:48] I got a job interview tomorrow and really need a network connection :s [16:48] bazhang What do you mean? Do I already have the radeon driver? [16:48] l1m5: alright, open a terminal and type sudo apt-get update [16:48] LargePrime, :) [16:48] l1m5: alright, open a terminal and type sudo apt-get upgrade [16:48] l1m5, try the livecd, just use the command line, or try some of my other suggestions [16:48] bazhang the fglrx driver fixed my cursor problem the last time.. my cursor's all messed up.. [16:48] topher_: gksudo gedit and we will nav to there [16:48] MaarekStele, I have already done that [16:48] l1m5, also make sure you are completely up to date (upgraded) [16:49] bazhang, how can i do this if i can't update? [16:49] l1m5, you just said you could via the command line [16:49] yeah but when i do the sudo apt-get update it launches the update manager that freezes [16:49] l1m5, now try sudo apt-get upgrade [16:49] topher_: you get it open? [16:49] bazhang: I asked that [16:49] LargePrime: Yes. [16:50] l1m5, launches? how are you invoking it? [16:50] rolo: did you try to specify an ip address? [16:50] topher_: nav to root of filesystem, then boot, then grub [16:50] hi [16:50] bazhang, idk when i type sudo apt-get update it downloads some info which i posted earlier and then launches the update manager [16:50] which then freezes [16:50] klown: hi. I do that in the network manager applet? I'll try again now. i did it before, but it didn't show up in ifconfig. I'll try agian now. [16:51] I only have "eth0 auto" is that the right place to put it? [16:51] l1m5, simply type sudo apt-get upgrade (nothing else) [16:51] LargePrime: The only thing that opened up is Unsaved Document, is that correct? [16:51] ok that appears to have worked and installed [16:51] klown: ah yeah, I have manual details in there, but they dont show up in efconfig [16:51] on my new ubuntu 9.04 installation, the kacpid process is eating up my processor, does anyone know how to fix this? [16:51] i guess i will just update manually from command line occasionally [16:51] bazhang is the open source radeon drivers: xserver-xorg-video-radeon ? [16:51] ifconfig even [16:51] rolo: this is the network manager, correct, not wicd [16:51] topher_: yep. we will van and open menu.lst [16:51] van = nav [16:52] klown: network manager next to clock? yeah [16:52] rolo, no eth0 in ifconfig? [16:52] LargePrime: How do you do that? [16:52] eth0 shows up, just not with an ip address [16:52] the two lines with IP address, subnet, etc don't show [16:52] LargePrime: Nevermind, Lol. [16:52] rolo, and what does sudo dhclient eth0 return? [16:52] On my laptop second line shows IP address, on desktop it jumpts straight to UP BROADCAST [16:52] LargePrime: I'm at root, that's right, right? [16:52] topher_: file>open [16:53] trying now... [16:53] does anyone know how to fix the kacpid service from eating up the processor? [16:53] (does it matter I got addresses specified for eth0 now?) [16:53] I dunno what to do: grub error 18 [16:53] rolo, no [16:53] topher_: did you open the "open" menu. are you browsing to open a file? [16:53] LargePrime: Yes. [16:53] could some1 help me out? [16:54] topher_: nav to /boot/grub open menu.lst [16:54] rolo: did it work? [16:54] how can I make a complete backup? [16:54] just tar?

[16:55] LargePrime: I'm at boot, but I don't see grub open menu. [16:55] topher_: if we were better at terminal we couldave just typed gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [16:55] Hey how do I join wmv files together [16:55] yeah it doesn't work it's error 18 cylinder error [16:55] topher_: do you see /grub [16:55] combine abc.wmv.001 with abc.wmv.002 [16:55] yoman1, fixing grub does not work? === arianit_ is now known as arianit [16:55] no [16:56] yoman1, which part of fixing grub does not work [16:56] topher_: do you see /grub [16:56] I think I need to create a partition in the front of the disk to install the grub inside === vorian is now known as OldSchool [16:56] LargePrime: Nothing says /grub, but I did that gksudo shit and it took me to a file. [16:56] file named menu.lst [16:56] rolo: you said it was working yesterday? [16:56] anybody use swfdec for flash? seems like it doesn't support sites like CNN, Comedy Central, TED, or CBS [16:56] topher_: file named menu.lst [16:56] 1 sec I tell you [16:56] has anybody else experienced this, or do you guys use the adobe plugin?

It ends like so, dri2.o returns Error 1, subdirs Error 1, default Error1 and linux-dri-x86 Error2...This isn't the actual the full set of errors though... [17:23] ILMAN, stop with the enter key please [17:23] rolo_: do a sudo route add default gw 192.168.1.254 [17:23] !ftp | ILMAN [17:23] ILMAN: FTP clients: Nautilus (Places -> Connect to server), gFTP, FileZilla (for !GNOME); Konqueror, Kasablanca, KFTPGrabber (for !KDE); FireFTP (for Firefox); ftp, lftp (for !cli) - See also !FTPd [17:23] albertico: I think you are beyond me [17:23] albertico: update?

[17:26] LargePrime: I don't know the exact model... [17:26] LargePrime: It did worked on 8.04 [17:27] rolo_: ok. [17:27] klown: think networkmanager would say that the 'Device is not managed' if there was something in interfaces. From my own exp. [17:27] as opposed to 'Disconnected' [17:27] trashbarg: dri2.c:117: error: ‘xDRI2ConnectReq’ has no member named ‘window’.

[17:39] bazhang, yes [17:40] trashbarg: according to the link you sent, it's something to do with xorg. I use Jaunty Jackelope which in turn uses xorg 1.6...required is 1.5. The dude with the prob seemed to have enabled "dri2" at compilation. To make a long story short, do I have to rebuild my xorg server?? [17:40] Spad-XIII: oh yeah, and I think its better to say that it contains updated drivers, so you may have gotten an update that had a key bug fix or something [17:40] dude: okay done that... [17:40] hello guild :> [17:40] lstarnes: Err. We should opt to tell him to use different kernels. [17:40] Baba_B00ie: Perhaps there is a bug. What exactly is the error again?

[17:40] edbian, ok to private msg ? [17:40] ok well i tried ubuntu on my mom's computer, it's just as slow as windows, i think something is up with her hardware, her hardware is better than mine but her machine makes a loud buzzing noise [17:40] Baba_B00ie: Absolutely [17:41] netstat -r is blank again since reboot.

[17:41] good luck rolo_ [17:41] rolo_: yeah, networkmanager doesn't fix it somehow [17:41] danbhfive: sounds fun .. i'm just glad that it finally works :) reading almost hundreds of old forum posts (2005 - 2007) didn't help .. reading some pages on http://wireless.kernel.org got me further .. hehe, how ironic [17:41] mipnamic: try reading "man testdisk" :) [17:41] Whoops I mounted something multiple times... does that matter? [17:41] anyway I can apply the updates without a network connection? [17:41] rolo_: check over the syslog next time, see if anything wierd pops out [17:41] woah klown lol [17:41] thought i was the only one that used the name klown on the net lol [17:42] klowny: no, not at all, theres tons. [17:42] might be a nice additional !command perhaps? !wireless .. try installing the linux-backports-modules-jaunty .. [17:42] go figure lol [17:42] rolo_: the command 'sudo tail -f /var/log/*' is kinda good for debugging [17:43] anyone use frostwire on ubuntu? [17:43] rolo_: yeah it's possible , just do apt-get upgrade, then copy that list, download the packages and install them [17:43] my sister uses it so i need to get it working correctly [17:43] thanks [17:43] hello how do i choose a file to open automatically with a specific program? [17:43] hwo do i access the squid-cgi interface ? :) [17:43] bazhang, i take it there should be something there? [17:43] rolo_: just use a usb-stick, copying the text-file with packages, downloading them with apt-get on the other comp, then you could use nautilus to install them later on [17:44] !frostwire > Klowny [17:44] Klowny, please see my private message [17:44] Ti-dev: If you dont get a packages with the options you want enabled, you have to compile it by yourself [17:44] !bash > ILMAN [17:44] ILMAN, please see my private message [17:44] the one thing thats bothering me about that problem, is you dont normally see a gateway ending in .254 [17:44] rolo_: think it's apt-get download [17:44] lo loh well i umounted it now... hopefully my data will be fine. it's not that important anyway [17:44] anyone here familiar with ispconfig or knows where i can get help with it? [17:44] tanath, for the fglrx? you can try it, but from all accounts unless you have the radeonhd it will be very problematic at best [17:44] normally it starts at the beginning of the iptable. [17:44] Pirate_Hunter, ifconfig? what is ispconfig [17:44] bazhang, things are very problematic right now >.< [17:44] for example i want AUDICIOUS for mp3s now it opens with Movie Player per automatique [17:45] thanks for that dan but that doesn't help me, already been to that lol [17:45] Ti-dev: How do you come to compiling the module? [17:45] bazhang, my screen is fuzzy [17:45] tanath, true, but the open sources one is less problematic at this point [17:45] bazhang, and text quickly becomes unreadable [17:45] bazhang: http://www.ispconfig.org/index.htm [17:45] trashbarg: yeah, I think I got it...I think I missed an option for "./configure"..I'll try it now..thanks..I'm following this guide: http://www.mesa3d.org/autoconf.html [17:45] Pirate_Hunter, what are you trying to do [17:45] Klowny: are you using the sun-java? [17:45] trashbarg: I'm sorry, didn't quite get you? [17:45] yes frostwire runs just fine [17:45] fjordlord_, in gnome? [17:46] bazhang, yes [17:46] rolo_: if u have free time later, verify your ip, and gateway. and make the necessary changes to /etc/resolv.conf [17:46] but when i pick the saved folder, i want it to be the music folder that comes on ubuntu but it keeps saying unable to [17:46] rolo_: well it wasn't that easy :) apt-get -d install , the will end up in /var/apt/cache i think [17:46] fjordlord_, system preferences preferred applications can set it?

Never set up a dual screen :( [18:00] so how can i be super user with live cd [18:00] awww [18:00] :( [18:00] liveCD: because you are trying to access the boot list from the cd. you need to change the directory to your hard disk with the installation on it [18:00] is there a way to have tasque start up automatically and minimized ? i have the first step covered (via system -> prefs -> startup applications) [18:00] liveCD: with livecd you are super user. [18:00] trying to send it to you edbian [18:00] C-S-B: that would be extremely annoying, as cpu scaling worked out of the box in -11 [18:00] says waiting for transfer to begin [18:00] liveCD: you have to cd into your hard drive [18:01] switch10_: please say me how can i change directory then [18:01] Klowny: I see it.

[18:35] Spliffster: my netcat experience in that aspect is nada ;p [18:36] Leon_Nardella: it seems to work pretty well. you might try pidgin with irc, but its a horibly limited irc lcient (but maintained and GTK+) [18:36] Spliffster: ssl and all [18:36] oh [18:36] Leon_Nardella: irssi is the pro choice. Might as well. [18:36] Spliffster, Yeah.. I've tried Pidgin already, but it lacks a lot of stuff you need on irc.

But, perhaps someone else can take a look at it for you. [18:36] oh [18:37] ttye0: i have never tried that ... you might be able to connect to IMAPS with nc but it probybly won't be worth the hassle. maybe you might use your scripting language of your choice ... python, perl, etc. [18:37] RocketLauncher: Sorry, I'm going out in 10 mins, so I'm winding things up now. [18:37] ok [18:37] Leon_Nardella: on the other hand, xchat hast it all and works fine (is also quiet nicely integrated into the desktop [tray]) ... why would one not want to use it ?

Thats bogus. WHy would they include something that doesn't even work? [18:44] twig11: See my response afterwards.

[18:48] hey how's everyone? [18:48] linduxed, a symlink takes the permission of the target file .. make sure your music is owned by a group that both users are in.

[19:03] * superGear thinks ATI is evil [19:03] okay, I *think* [19:03] rocketlauncher: nvidia-settings [19:03] dakarn I changed the refresh rate on both monitors to 75, and it drags now... [19:03] evening all [19:03] all we need now is gnome to let you have different wallpapers on each machine [19:04] dakarn, that wouldn't do him any good with ati [19:04] edbian: it does, but I don't know how to convert it after the fact. They have separate installs, and there is supposedly a linux-lpia source package, but I don't know how to install it [19:04] which filesystem is fastest [19:04] NTFS [19:04] j/k [19:04] moltenbobcat, that should be possible with compiz #compiz for more details [19:04] om26er: ext4 would be fastest if it is run natively ... although you could expierence problems as it is very new [19:04] RocketLauncher: http://hobbylobby.wordpress.com/2007/09/08/dual-monitors-in-ubuntu-xorgconf-driver-ati-card/ [19:04] ext3/4 [19:04] bazhang: awesome I had no idea [19:05] fccf: so which other filesystem [19:05] RocketLauncher: so it works now? [19:05] shader: I don't know :( [19:05] Out_Cold: if you ask me, some geek accidentally copied the whole mesa3d.org site into /docs/ :D [19:05] ext3 is stable [19:05] twig11: did you use ndiswrapper to install driver? [19:05] i didn't see the ATI -- all i saw was everyone saying nvidia [19:05] so is reiserfs and others [19:05] hello, I have 2 8800GT nvidia graphics cards in SLI, I cant seem to get 8.10 or 9.04 to recognise my video cards. when I boot up the Live CD's they drop me to tty1 when X starts up. thanks in advanced for any help. [19:05] twig11: from googling this adapter appears quirky [19:05] how do I stop an application from printing error messages to the console? [19:05] dakarn yup. but does this mean I can't have one monitor on 85hz and the other one on 75? [19:05] Ti-dev, wrong bud... some geek copied all of /docs/ into the website ;) [19:05] If I connect and login to my ubunutu box via VNC, why when I go to the physical machine do I get the login screen vs's seeing myself actually logged in? [19:05] edbian: unfortunately, it is hard to attract attention in this room ;) [19:05] haha, good one! :D [19:05] yeah more like it :D [19:05] shazam, find the error and fix it or smthin [19:06] shader: Sounds to me like you're going to have to install some sort of image-linux-2.6.28-lpia package. Which would in turn basically be installing a new OS [19:06] Ali_nz: because vnc creates a new session when you connect [19:06] shader: redirect stderr to /dev/null [19:06] dakarn huh i just changed it to 85 and it works.. with different refresh rates. [19:06] arg [19:06] dcherniv: Yes I did. gogeta wrote me a simple script to automate the re-entering of all the information each time , but it still involves entering a sudo password in terminal, which is fine for me but not good for other users who "just want it to work." [19:06] shazam: redirect stderr to /dev/null [19:06] Ali_nz: it's not like remote desktop or whatever it's called in windows [19:06] my bad, it couldn't apply [19:06] Slart: how do I see if that remote session is still running? [19:06] RocketLauncher: it was likely set on a defunct refresh rate [19:06] * jrib ponders banning everyone who does not have the first three letters of their nick unique [19:06] RocketLauncher: congrats =) [19:06] Ali_nz: if you want that you can use x11vnc.. that uses the currently running session [19:06] dakarn How do I have both monitors on different refresh rates? Not that I can get used to 75 oh my other monitor, but still [19:07] Ali_nz: not sure really.. "who" perhaps [19:07] twig11: you can create an exception for this script in /etc/sudoers so it doesnt ask for a password [19:07] jrib: but then you could only have 26^3 users in the #ubuntu channel ;) === Twilo|away is now known as Twilo [19:07] Slart: yea because that "session" was running a big job - I am loath to start it again if I dont have to [19:07] twig11: and then run the script on login: xterm -e "sudo scriptname" [19:07] Ali_nz: the difference is shared vs. noshared .. in the vnc configs [19:07] shader: you make a good point, I guess I won't afterall [19:07] shazam: ./example.pl > /dev/null 2>&1 [19:08] Hi i am new to ubuntu can any one help me please?

[19:09] twig11: yea sure [19:09] thx [19:09] RocketLauncher: lol i have no idea bro. are you using identical monitors? [19:09] Audio is not working in my desktop [19:09] jrib: you wouldn't happen to know how to convert ubuntu from i386 to lpia after it's been installed, would you?

I don't know what the problem was, I pretty much just changed the refresh rates of both monitors to 75hz, then changed it back to 75hz on one monitor and 85 on the other. [19:11] edbian, Volume icon is allready in panel and i increased to 100 [19:12] how does one install a "source package"? [19:12] superGear I usually keep the 17'' on 1280x960. [19:12] vadi: Right click on the applet and click "Open Volume Control" then Hit the preferences button in the box that opens. Add the PCM slider. Turn that one up too.

[19:14] No i thought its related with sound problem [19:14] velcroshooz: It depends on your processor as well. [19:14] that's twice I've had to give up and restore from most recent backup after downloading the "important security updates" I'm disabling all updates this time. [19:14] oskar-: because it isnt, and it was in 2.6.28-11 ootb [19:14] dcherniv: gksudo gedit /etc/sudoers ? [19:14] vadi: It might be but I doubt it. It's a completely different driver [19:14] vadi: Did you add the PCM slider? [19:14] shader: I'm not sure about your lpia question. I guess you need to grab the ubuntu-mobile installer right? [19:14] What are you using to test sound? [19:15] twig11: yea [19:15] if you want to disable the system beep, "gksudo gedito /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf", add "blacklist pcspkr" to the end and that's it for "BEEP" each time you shutdown and/or reboot :D [19:15] *gedit [19:15] vadi: See what Ti-dev said? ^ [19:15] edbian: processor supports it, was working in 2.6.28-11, no go in 2.6.28-13 [19:15] is there anyway I can get my Ubuntu Jaunty 32bit to pick up my complete 4GiB of ram instead of just 3.2GiB ?

That's odd. IDK. Use the older kernel! :P [19:16] hmm [19:16] fwaokda: your mainboard must support PAE, then you can use 4GB Ram (for one process) [19:16] fwaokda: I've heard that only 64bit version, ubuntu will detect more than so much of ram...

[19:17] fwaokda: The cut off is 3.5 GB.

[19:22] Ti-dev, i was gonna ask you if you checked the repos.. but i was distracted.. [19:22] twig11: yea visudo, doesnt really matter. sudo gedit /etc/sudoers [19:22] Any help, plase? [19:22] iceroot: seems that sysklogd is not installed, shouldn't that be installed by default? [19:22] dcherniv: Are you sure you can do that??

[19:22] !gksudo | dcherniv, twig11 [19:22] dcherniv, twig11: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [19:22] dcherniv: using gedit on /etc/sudoers is a bad idea. Visudo has syntax checking to make sure you don't completely mess up your sudo permissions settings. [19:22] shane2peru_: i dont know what using, debian lenny is using syslogd, if i am correct ubuntu is using ksyslogd but dont know exactly [19:22] dcherniv: twig11: And BTW it should be gksu gedit [19:22] if you mess them up, there is no getting them back, because it would require that you use sudo and well...

Here goes. [19:23] balloooza: excuse me [19:23] edbian: yea you're right gksudo [19:23] shane2peru_: ps aux | grep log is there anything like sysklogd or so?

[19:25] balloooza: yes [19:25] shane2peru: then there should be logs in /var/log/ [19:25] Slart: you helped me a few days ago, right? at least, in the logs it says Slart :) [19:25] How do I extend my panels onto my other MONITOR? [19:25] velcroshooz: is it compiled in? i don't know. "dmesg | grep powernow-k8" [19:25] what is odd is that when I opened up the system logs, via the system file, they were all old [19:25] balloooza: it is a pidgin plugin, btw, not an audacious one [19:25] iceroot: ^^^^ [19:25] amikrop: and you are listening to the music on audacious, and not rythmbox (right, kinda obvious) [19:25] Spad-XIII: oh.. sounds like me then... well... you're welcome, I guess =) [19:25] balloooza: yes [19:25] iceroot: there are system logs, however in the gui log viewer, they was nothing dated after June 24 [19:25] shane2peru: please no counters-trike-kiddie-smileys :) [19:26] Hi all, for some reason I don't have any devices being created in /dev/mapper, any ideas how to rescan and create these devices?

It's telling you that you're starting visudo wrong..

A 64 bit intel processor is an amd_64 architecture [19:27] diddy: Well, the first reply is from a Canonical employee, whose name I recognize so I don't know what else I can tell you. [19:27] amikrop: I have not used this before, so I guess I can't help much, but a good way to figure out exactly what the problem is, is to go to the website for the project (google it will usualy do it) and then read how to set it up, and see where things start going wrong, if it is a pidgen PLUGIN, then you might need to change the settings in pigden [19:27] fwaokda: It does not matter [19:28] edbian, haha sucks for intel ... if they care just kinda a "haha pwnt" thing i suppose :) [19:28] balloooza: I have set Pidgin to let this plugin to update my status but it doesn't do so. Anyway, I will look at their website, thank you. :) [19:28] how can i change the default behaviour of the system to output sound using OSS instead of ALSA?

[19:30] twig11: tis [19:30] visudo is really just a wrapper for an editor [19:30] makes sure that you can't quit the editor until syntax is good [19:30] balloooza: no [19:30] rgz_, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pwnt [19:30] balloooza: Here is what I found, though: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin-audacious/+bug/217949 [19:30] Pici: He recommends: Bastille is not recommended for Ubuntu. [19:30] Pici: I will not use it then. [19:30] diddy: Indeed. Okay [19:30] dcherniv: okay, in visudo I'm a little lost. if its like vi, I know I'll need help because I get confused in vi. [19:31] rgz_, i don't usually use the term but since I was referring to cpu company's it was my attempt at humor :( [19:31] dcherniv: like how do I get ready to add a line? [19:31] twig11: visudo on Ubuntu will use whatever $EDITOR is set to, which is nano by default I beleive. === shazam is now known as palomer [19:31] Pici: Is there another hardening tools that _is_ recommended for Ubuntu? [19:31] twig11: ESC and press i [19:31] legend2440: this was working out of the box with the stock kernel i dont understand how a slight kernel update from synaptic is going to completely break cpu scaling where i have to reset it up from scratch [19:31] has a load of broken updates been pushed to the repository? i'm getting stuff like "libssl-dev: Depends: libssl0.9.8 (= 0.9.8g-15ubuntu3) but 0.9.8g-15ubuntu3.2 is installed." [19:31] Pici: dcherniv: okay, let me try. [19:31] twig11: It's more like nano than VI really. If that helps ;) [19:32] diddy: I don't know enough about hardening Linux to provide an adequite answer for you, sorry. [19:32] amikrop: read the second to last post in the launchpad [19:32] edbian: is it nano or vi? [19:32] Alan: what repositories are you using? 3rd party? proposed? [19:32] i've run apt-get update, and that hasn't helped... [19:32] Alan: do you have the updates repository enabled? [19:32] velcroshooz: the code seems to be running and have recognized your cpu. is it perhaps an application incompatibility? somewhere in /proc or /sys are files, with you can set cpu frequency settings manually, if you write special arguments to them (like "echo xy > cpu_freq"). you could take a careful look in there to see, if it is generally working. then you could run the controlling app manually and see, if errors occur [19:32] anyone here knows how to install snap fonts ? [19:33] fccf: gah, how the hell did that get disabled? :| thanks! [19:33] snewp: what are "snap" fonts? [19:33] balloooza: Yeah, I did so. I guess I won't get into such trouble, I 'll wait for an official fix. Thanks, though. :-) [19:33] How do I give 2 owners to a file? [19:33] edbian: no it doesn't really. I don't know nano either. [19:33] Pici: NP, thx anyway. [19:33] alexnet: you can't [19:33] alexnet: you cant [19:33] Slart: type of fonts though .. .pcf kind of fonts [19:33] how do i achieve a similar result? [19:34] oskar-: thanks for the help, i will just revert back to 2.6.28-11 i think, this is nonsense [19:34] alevine: you can be in the same group as the owning group [19:34] Out_Cold: Okay I'm installing all the seemingly necessary stuff via synaptic...any idea on how to enable hardware rendering? That *was* my objective...currently it's "software rasterizer" [19:34] dcherniv: ESC>i just indents the first line of sudoers [19:34] alexnet: add both users to a single group? [19:34] thanks [19:34] twig11: on nano, you just press Ctrl-X to exit. [19:34] velcroshooz: ok, good luck [19:34] alexnet: to achieve a same effect give the file 770 permissions, create a group, add these soon to be owners to that group and change group ownership of the file, chmod user:commongroup file [19:34] dcherniv: on the upside, backspace puts it back :-/ [19:34] Ti-dev, sorry bud haven't ever tried before [19:35] grawity: I'm using visudo [19:35] twig11: visudo just calls your default editor. [19:35] velcroshooz: what happened to the 2.6.30 kernel? [19:35] does anyone know where I could get some php5.3 packages from jaunty? is there a PPA for that? [19:35] twig11: does it say "GNU nano" on the first line? [19:35] My question is, It seems programs run as a normal user can not open ports below 1024??? Correct me if i am wrong. is there a way to allow any user to do this and not just su. [19:35] snewp: ah... wikipedia sayd bitmap fonts... just never heard of it.. thanks (I have no idea btw) [19:35] twig11: hm i dunno, i should cause vi to go into insert mode [19:35] Out_Cold: oh kk, I'll just dig around...thanks for all the help man... [19:36] Slart: np [19:36] sivel: I think php is in the default repos, need no ppa [19:36] Ti-dev, hope you figure it out [19:36] balloooza: for PHP 5.2.x it is. I am looking for 5.3 [19:36] thanks :D [19:36] grawity: *slaps forehead* yeah it does. But I don't know how to use nano either. [19:36] Ok, so I installed the most recent updates this morning, and after restarting, Volume Control doesn't open. This is a problem especially because my computer has this annoying thing where whenever you boot it up, the volume is reset to zero, and is muted. Is there a way to make it so I can open Volume Control again, and/or set the default volume to max and not muted? [19:36] dcherniv: it's using nano [19:37] twig11: nano is the simplest one. [19:37] twig11: oh, well then its easy just go the bottom of the file with down arrow or pg down [19:37] twig11: just use arrow keys, and type. Use Ctrl-X to exit. [19:37] theilluminatic: what happens if you start gnome-volume-control from a terminal? [19:37] sivel: do you need this for compatibility, because if it is not in the repositorys, it is most likely not stable enough, or widly used yet (basicly, I could go on, and tell you the dissadvantages of compiling) [19:37] twig11: and then paste this dcherniv@media-center:~$ cd /usr/share/locale [19:37] twig11: err ignore that ^ [19:37] sivel: I could help you if you need it [19:38] dcherniv: grawity: Yeah, now I just discovered that at last. duh! [19:38] twig11: paste this ALL ALL=NOPASSWD:/bin/yourscriptname [19:38] balloooza: I need to test compatibility with a product [19:38] balloooza: I installed the php 5.3 from dotdeb but it seems to be broken [19:38] pavucontrol gives out warnings: gtk warning, failed to set text from markup due to error, what can i do about it? [19:39] dcherniv: to clarify, the script is written with just the commands separated by && no introductory stuff. is that definitely all that's needed for the system to know it's executable? [19:39] sivel: that is exactly one of the things I would have said, somtimes those are maintaned less, you know there is a less noisy server channel called #ubuntu-server [19:39] 'what happens if you start gnome-volume-control from a terminal?' I'm in xubuntu, and it says that the gnome one isn't installed, should I install it? [19:39] twig11, you can add gtksudo in your script to make things run as root, like this :gtksudo firefox, will run firefox as root [19:39] balloooza: I will head over there [19:39] thanks [19:39] twig11: does it have #!/bin/bash as a first line? [19:39] twig11: you also have to make it executable with sudo chmod +x /bin/scriptname [19:40] dcherniv: no it doesn't [19:40] theilluminatic: you can just put my nickname on the start of your message.. no need to repeat my question (although it did look kind of nice and easy to follow)... let me check something.. I'm not sure if xfce has it's own volume control app [19:41] twig11, without a shebang you have to specify which interpreter to use like: bash script.sh [19:41] twig11, or a python example: python script.py [19:41] twig11: add #!/bin/bash as first line, actually can you pastebin the script? [19:41] !pastebin | twig11 [19:41] twig11: 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 [19:41] whats the command to see who are logged in to my computer? [19:42] n0gear: 'w', 'who', 'finger' [19:42] Hey guys :) How do I change settings in GNOME so the desktop doesn't display contents of ~, but the contents of ~/Desktop instead? [19:42] grawity: ty [19:43] dcherniv: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m5bfc0bee [19:43] Continuing my group permissions issue earlier.... i created a group called "apacheandfriends" and then add the www-data user as well as myself to the group [19:43] icedwater: edit the variable in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs [19:43] icedwater: I belive the desktop has a gconf somwhere, and ubuntu-tweak has a setting for that [19:43] icedwater: the default is too display the contents of /home/*/Desktop [19:43] rythm box isn't making a sound [19:43] Is there a way to have a certain sound play whenever the GDM Login screen starts up, and then have another sound played upon success or failure of login? [19:43] icedwater: I'm sure it's in gconf somewhere... let me check. [19:44] How should my Chown look? sudo chown www-data:apacheandfriends /file/ -R ??? [19:44] erUSUL, balloooza, gartral, grawity: Thanks. [19:44] I would like to play my mp3 files from the windows partition [19:44] grawity: lol, that is what I said (I just went looking too) [19:44] icedwater: ah, /apps/nautilus/preferences/desktop_is_home_dir [19:44] balloooza: I wouldn't be able to check ubuntu-tweak though. Not just yet. Will keep that in mind. [19:44] it is easy enought to navigate over there and open the files [19:44] icedwater: /apps/nautilus/preferences/desktop_is_home in gconf-editor [19:44] but then the silence begins [19:44] theilluminatic: ok.. try starting xfce4-mixer instead.. see if you get an error message [19:45] grawity: Hm, OK. So I uncheck that one? [19:45] !enter [19:45] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [19:45] How do I assign file permissions to a GROUP ? [19:45] icedwater: if you want ~, it should be off. if you want ~/Desktop, it should be on,. [19:45] Is it possible to set it to another folder? [19:45] Hi everyone, this isn't a question pertaining to linux itself, but a tutorial about linux. I found it a while ago, cleaned out my internet history, and I cant remember where to find it. I've been searching google for days. It was a really long ebook, not quite a tutorial, it had over 40 chapters, and described hardware, and the origins of binary and ascii and all that too [19:45] !groups [19:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about groups [19:46] !group [19:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about group [19:46] alexnet: chmod g+w file, will give write acces to the group, chmod g-w file will remove it etc... [19:46] twig11: alright put http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m7e98a17c [19:46] slart: thanks, that opened it and so I was able to set the volume to normal, do you know how I can make it default to being on? [19:46] geirha chmod groupname+w /myfile/ ? [19:46] i know it's a little vague, I'm trying to think of more specific things to mention, like when I was looking for it I was looking for a terminal tutorial... I remember they showed a picture of a mobo, and it was really old lol. It was a grey drawing lol. lol. [19:46] How do I download codecs for rythm player please [19:46] theilluminatic: nope.. no idea about that.. sorry [19:47] ok, thanks anyway [19:47] Is there any way to configure the sound to play at the login screen? [19:47] i have a problem with my hard disk. i did something wrong with Gparted and it has something to do with gpt/mbr partitioning tables (i think) and also with the ext4 [19:47] alexnet: No, first you need to run chgrp, to set the group as groupowner of the file [19:47] JamesHoldsworth: The linux terminal? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [19:47] alexnet: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [19:47] anyone care to help? [19:47] thanks geirha [19:47] Nonono [19:47] I'm having this problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-utils/+bug/16894 [19:47] any solutions as of NOW? [19:47] it wasn't a ubuntu specific one. it was more of an overall linux tutoral [19:47] icedwater: I found ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs - open it in a text editor, fix, then logout and login [19:47] JamesHoldsworth: Maybe ##linux could help better then [19:48] ok lol thank you [19:48] bsr [19:48] hi [19:48] i messed up somewhere along the way with gparted and the problem is that i can only see a PART of my drive, 30gbs, when my drive is 120 gbs [19:49] anyone has any idea ? [19:49] RocketLauncher: what version of ubuntu are you running? [19:50] good day all [19:50] i search the room speaking french [19:50] !fr | sirakim [19:50] sirakim: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [19:50] Slart JAUNTY [19:50] dcherniv: did that. [19:50] Nan0fire: what did u do exactly [19:50] i messed up my harddisk and now i can't see the whole disk, except in the livcd of jaunty [19:51] RocketLauncher: ouch.. a bug from hoary coming to life like in a bad horror movie [19:51] twig11: cool did you finish sudoers part? [19:51] i don't know i did a couple of things many times [19:51] dcherniv: no sir/ma'm [19:51] twig11: hm, well save my version of the script in /bin/fixwifi [19:51] devill: i did have ext4 partitions and i erased them with parted magic [19:51] Slart I coul always try a different WM besides Gnome, if I know for sure it will work :D [19:52] dcherniv: I saved it in /bin/connect [19:52] twig11: then put this line in /etc/sudoers: ALL ALL=NOPASSWD:/bin/fixwifi [19:52] twig11: /bin/connect is probably not a good idea [19:52] Nan0fire: parted magc? then? [19:52] dcherniv: um, you forgot the username before this line. === edsoncanto is now known as Edson [19:53] dcherniv: why not? I'll change it but why? [19:53] twig11: as there might be a script that exists with that name in ubuntu repos [19:54] dcherniv: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers [19:54] Nan0fire:during live session are u able to see ur whole hdd? [19:54] RocketLauncher: I would suggest opening that bug again.. attach a screenshot of your own and information on ubuntu version, flavour and so on [19:54] devill i saw only a part of my drive there, not the whole thing (i think because parted magic couldnt percieve the ext4) so i tried to do something new and used on the part i could see the gpt partitioning table [19:54] grawity: ALL ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/bin/fixwifi [19:54] here's a silly question: on the volume control widget you scroll up to increase the volume if your mouse is in one location but when you mouse is in the other location you scroll down to increase the volume. am i the only one who thinks they should be in sync? [19:54] grawity: is that right? [19:54] Slart that bug dates to 2005 holy [19:54] RocketLauncher: I can't verify the bug since I just have one monitor attached.. [19:54] Slart and I will do that [19:55] hey, how can i get a tablet to work with ubuntu!? [19:55] can someone helpy me with a dual boot issue im having? [19:55] devill: in the livecd sessions of jjaunty yes, in parted magic, i only see what i see in windows (half of my disk!) [19:55] RocketLauncher: indeed it does.. but it's been playing peekaboo every now and then. [19:55] dcherniv: That will give all users access to run that command as root, except that you're missing a space after NOPASSWD: [19:55] do you understand the prob or should i tell more? [19:56] geirha: yea thats the idea [19:56] hi [19:56] dcherniv: ALL ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD :/bin/fixwifi like that? [19:56] anybody? [19:56] Slart damnit I just.. "scrot -m" [19:56] Slart and it takes a screenshot perfectly [19:56] twig11: ALL ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/fixwifi [19:56] Slart Only thing is I got to join this screenshot together with the one of the other half. [19:57] neoteny: In sync with...? If you want to suggest a feature that sounds more like a gnome bugtracker thing than ubuntu specifically. [19:57] devill: any ideas? [19:57] RocketLauncher: ah.. but that's another app.. but still.. if that works for you.. great =) [19:57] Nan0fire: use fdisk .. [19:57] i tried already [19:57] Nan0fire: what do u see [19:58] i see all i guess.. i deleted all partitions with it, and i made a new ntfs with it ( with help of an irc buddy) [19:58] has anyone had any issues with the intel 4965 wireless on ubuntu 9.04?? [19:58] Nan0fire:u can recover the partition table ..if it hasnt lost already... [19:59] dcherniv: okay how do I save and quit visudo? [19:59] Radtoo, it might be gnome. when you click on the icon and it pulls up the slider when your mouse is on the icon scrolling up increases the volume. however if you move your mouse up to the slider you scroll down to increase the volume. seems to the scrolling should be consistent. === devill is now known as devil [19:59] twig11: ctrl+x [19:59] twig11: same as quitting + saving in vim [19:59] hi [19:59] dcherniv: and I added a comment before the line: #Allows all users to run the following script as root. I can do that right? === Edson is now known as edson [20:00] Radtoo, right now i'm in the information gathering phase :) [20:00] twig11: yea thats fine [20:00] devill i erased, repartition-tabled, partitoined everyting a couple of times so i don't think there's a way back :S [20:00] Im having a permissions related problem. I have created a group that contains my username and apache as members. I then recursively gave permissions to a folder for root:mygroup. The members of my group cannot write to teh folder (the chmod settings are okay). Is there a way to see if maybe i messed up the group creation? === Fallenou_ is now known as Fallenou [20:00] virtual ox seems have issue with usb [20:00] dcherniv: save modified buffer y ? [20:00] Any1 free to help me with an Ubuntu Firefox keyboard issue? BTW - I am new to IRC [20:00] anyone else have this issue? [20:00] dcherniv: after messing a few things up I'm ultra cautious. [20:01] Lenaud01: The ose (open source edition) of virtualbox that comes with Ubuntu does not support usb. [20:01] Is 32bit of 64bit best? [20:01] I have seen reference to an ubuntu experimental repository. is anyone aware of such a repo? [20:01] I can take a screenshot of my other monitor using scrot -m, but I don't want to have to take two screenshots and put them together. Any better solutions? [20:01] twig11: yes [20:01] Nan0fire:dnt lose hope .theres always a chance...have u used testdisk?. [20:01] Pici I got the .deb from sun [20:01] anyone free to help me? [20:01] twig11: save it [20:01] else what's a quick way to join two images together like that [20:01] devill, no [20:01] Lenaud01: Then I would ask in #vbox then [20:01] thanks [20:02] neoteny: ah, I'd see if this also happens for me but I've only got wmii and kde4 installed at the moment. but yes, this sounds like a bug. [20:02] yurik: 32 if your gaming, 64 if your doing high math [20:02] gartral: for a server ? [20:02] its gud..use that..itll analyze first using quick search [20:02] dcherniv: I'm not sure what to do at the next option. File name to write: /etc/sudoers.tmp [20:02] anyone know where i can get the medibuntu gpg key? [20:03] hey, for some reason my ubuntu keeps starting up in text and i dont know how to switch it to the graphics mode [20:03] devil, changed name to devil? [20:03] Any Ubuntu experts here? I need some help [20:03] Nan0fire: yups.. [20:03] !ask | RoyL [20:03] RoyL: 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. :-) [20:03] yurik: 64bit is most useful if you have a lot of ram or do maths intensive processing (video encoding, actual math solving, ...). otherwise 32bit is slightly less problematic and you dont usually miss out on anything [20:03] RoyL, maybe us mere non experts can help. [20:04] ivan_: use startx [20:04] devil ok so i need to down an burn " testdisk" ? [20:04] twig11: hm i dunno, never used visudo. maybe someone else can clarify why it wants to save to a .tmp filke [20:04] dcherniv: because visudo does that to make sure you didn't made any syntax errors. [20:04] how do i use dpkg to list available packages to install? [20:04] Nan0fire:no just install it on ur machine [20:04] thanks [20:04] RoyL: probably not, this is only official ubuntu support channel.. [20:04] twig11: Thats normal, just save and quit and it will do its thing. [20:04] you mean on my windows? [20:04] I have a prob where the keybrd stops working in Jaunty but only when using Firefox 3.5 [20:05] dcherniv: if the new sudoers file is correct, it is copied to /etc/sudoers. Otherwise it warns you and reopens the same temp file. [20:05] I installed ubuntu on my eee pc, and I have no sound [20:05] RoyL: needless to say with almost fifteen hundred ... there is alot of expertise [20:05] Pici: I know, but how? [20:05] do you know why it would just randomly start in text mode? [20:05] Radtoo: it will be a web server/irc server, just _servers_ basically... what do u suggest? [20:05] twig11: ctrl-o to save (don't change the filename) and then ctrl-x [20:05] hi all, i installed firefox 3.5 using apt-get install firefox-3.5 but i still have firefox-3.0 installed and that's the one that opens if i go applications->internet->firefox [20:05] how can i upgrade to 3.5? [20:05] !ff35 | read this ojii [20:05] read this ojii: Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko on your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY [20:05] yurik: 32bit will be fine, I'm sure. you'll probably save a little time every now and then as compared to 64 bit where you occasionally solve problems. and performance won't be impacted by 32bit. [20:05] A networking question: I have a DIR-655 and a DI-524. I have a cable-connection I wish to share with the neighbours, but at the moment, with only the DIR-655 providing wireless, they're getting between 12 and 36 % signalstrength. Any ide on how to enable the DI-524 as an extender? Preferrably keeping Gigabit-connectivity between my server and media-PC (Probably need a switch for that, right?) [20:05] majikman: that would be a long list.. have you tried aptitude [20:06] shiretoko? wtf [20:06] Nan0fire:it works on both the os.. [20:06] ojii: Please mind your language here. [20:06] fccf, no, but i like being able to grep and do other text manipulations on my output [20:06] Nan0fire:google it.. [20:06] I have no sound on my ubuntu eee pc install. [20:06] so 'm not really concerned about long lists [20:06] Radtoo: thank you! [20:06] !32bit [20:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about 32bit [20:06] yurik: no problem. [20:07] Pici: ctrl>o gives me a system beep. Did I mess something up if I accidentally hit ctrl>c trying to copy out of terminal with visudo running? [20:07] Is the game 20,000 leagues under the sea open source? Id like to modify its some. [20:07] Problem: Jim is in group MyGroup. A folder named /folder/ with permissions root:MyGroup rwxrwxr-x exists. Jim cannot copy files to /folder/ over scp. If permissions are changed to jim:MyGroup, Jim can now copy files to /folder/. How do I make it so that all members of MyGroup can always copy files to /folder/ ? [20:07] twig11: What do you see on your screen right now? Are you still in nano?

[20:51] ;) [20:51] woodworker2001: google dual-boot ubuntu or USB ubuntu boot, that should do it [20:51] intalling the 8.04.2 - i386 server edition and it wont boot after I finish the [20:51] !usbinstall [20:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about usbinstall [20:51] dcherniv: Can this be run from a non-admin's account as well? [20:51] stroyan: I'm having difficulties to make any other driver then "vesa" to work with X at the moment. [20:51] Maybe it is the disc. I just tried the other side (full screen) and it does play. [20:51] soreau: I'm messing around with intel kms on a laptop. It even kinda works! But I somehow broke hibernate/resume in the process :( [20:51] !install [20:51] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [20:52] I guess this is a bad coincidence of my first DVD play since last linux upgrade and a bad disc after all. [20:52] dcherniv: you still around? [20:52] mzz: Not surprising. suspend/hibernate/resume has been a consistent problem for graphics drivers [20:52] when I try to echo " !bla" it says even !bla is not found [20:52] event* [20:53] dcherniv: okay I'm trying it out so I might not see a response from you for a minute [20:53] tonii: If you do "ps -ef | grep X" you should see a /usr/X11R6/bin/X line. The first argument to that would be the DISPLAY name. [20:53] soreau: well, I'm not sure if it's my modesetting stuff or my temporary karmic install. I suspect it's either an initramfs issue or a kernel parameter issue, and it doesn't even attempt to resume. [20:53] twig11: replace ! with \! [20:53] stroyan: thanks! :) [20:53] soreau: oh wait, I think I might know what it is (and it's none of the above, yay) [20:53] Hey how do i become a ubuntu mirror? [20:53] theTroy: you have to scape ! too. search in google what chars you have to scape in shell [20:54] soreau: I completely forgot about it, but I reformatted my swap partition. I bet the uuid of the old swap partition is still stashed somewhere, and it's unsuccessfully trying to resume from that. [20:54] kyle3: there is a link in the main ubuntu site iirc [20:54] yes [20:54] mzz: Ah ha! [20:54] !newmirror | kyle3 [20:54] kyle3: Interested in setting up a new mirror? See http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/mirror for more info. [20:54] erUSUL what do you mean scape? \! doesnt work [20:54] theTroy: it does here [20:54] lstarnes: #\!/bin/bash [20:54] xterm -e "sudo /bin/fixwifi"? [20:54] i have done that its been one week no reply [20:54] soreau: (just to complicate matters further: my swap is on lvm) [20:54] hmm [20:54] do I need to run server edition to be able to host a moodle site [20:54] will try again [20:55] stroyan: :0 it says, but xset "cannot open display". hmm. [20:55] where are all the icons images stored in ubuntu???? [20:55] mzz: boot with "noresume" boot option ? [20:55] mzz: Why complicate things like that? KMS is enough complexity ;) [20:55] gangil1: /usr/share/icons/ ? [20:55] twig11: wait, I got the wrong nick. That was for theTroy [20:55] lstarnes: okay. [20:55] erUSUL: no "noresume" in sight. It does boot fine, it just never even tries to resume (at least not as far as I notice) [20:55] twig11: yea that script that you wrote make it executable, chmod +x scriptname [20:55] twig11: once its executable you can just double click on it [20:55] twig11: no, dont scape the shell interpretor with #\!/bin/bash everytime you write a script for bash, it starts with #!/bin/bash [20:55] soreau: lvm's actually easier than regular partitioning once you're booted [20:55] twig11: and it should do the whole shebang automatically [20:56] soreau: it's only during grub and early bootup that it can complicate matters. [20:56] erUSUL echo " \!bh" results in \!bg not in !bg [20:56] dcherniv: I made it executable using the gui properties [20:56] twig11: yea thats fine too [20:56] twig11: double click on it see what happens [20:56] mzz: I'll take your word for it. Only messed with lvm once and it was difficult to set up as I recall [20:56] dcherniv: Okay, i'll be outfor a bit while I test... [20:57] twig11: alright [20:57] mzz: Mostly because I had to get the right installation iso [20:57] dcherniv: run or run in terminal? [20:57] soreau: well, ubuntu is annoying in that you need the alternative install cd to set up lvm during install (this is a carefully guarded secret or something: I haven't been able to find a list of features on the alt cd that aren't on the regular one anywhere) [20:57] Hot to tweak 10-network-security.conf? [20:57] twig11: you created that last script with xterm -e on your desktop right? [20:57] I'm trying to combine two .wav files into one. I'm using Audacity, but when I export my project, the .wav file it saves is broken. Help? [20:57] twig11: so just double click on it, it should pop a new window up [20:58] twig11: just run [20:58] mzz: Yea, I haven't even looked at Jaunty x86 desktop cd's 'alternate' options yet [20:58] twig11: no need to run in terminal [20:58] soreau: it's really great once it works though, since it lets me resize and rearrange partitions without their numbers changing [20:58] theTroy: weird zsh and /bin/echo get it right but bash echo does not ... [20:58] tonii: If you are not logged in to the X server then the X authority setting will be the -auth option in the ps line. If you are logged in then it will be ~/.Xauthority of the user that is logged in. You would need to "export XAUTHORITY=" with that file to make xset find the right file. [20:58] mzz: Anyway, lemme know if you get suspend back up, I have to run some errands now [20:58] hi u there... does anyone know not to configure a wireless network using digital certified??? [20:58] *how to configure [20:59] Did you guys figure out how to nake conky show up on the correct monitor yet? ;-) [20:59] erUSUL: I need the network icon ...where can it be? [20:59] tonii: Or, maybe the X server is really unhealthy right now. [20:59] All I want to do is take a screenshot of both monitors. Print screen doesn't work.. scrot doesn't work. Everything takes a screenshot of my left monitor, and not my right. How do I fix this? It's getting on my nerves now [20:59] stroyan: ah. seems like more trouble then it's worth. I just wanted to see if it would solve my current problem with X. [20:59] dcherniv: It works! now if I make a copy will it run from a link on the desktop of a non-admin user? [20:59] how do i watch you tube videos? what do i need to download and how? [20:59] I hosting a Moodle site from a laptod do you need to run server edition or destop edition? [21:00] how do i access glipper. i installed it and cant find it??? [21:00] stroyan: X starts on port CRT-0 (dvi) even though the monitor is connected to CRT-1 (vga), which makes the monitor go into suspend or off (don't know which) [21:00] twig11: yea sure it should, you have to make sure that the user who will be executing it has executable permissions [21:00] "upgrade-manager -d" upgrade to a development release, but is there a way to *always* be in the devel release? [21:01] What can i use to convert rmvb to other with gui? [21:01] Alvinware: avidemux for instance. [21:01] Something like Fedora's Rawhide. [21:01] thank you, radtoo. [21:01] how do i view videos on youtube? [21:01] anyone have any experience with cloning virtualbox .vdi's ? [21:02] RocketLauncher: I always use gnome-screenshot with my Dual-Screen System. That always works. At least it always worked with ATI and NVIDIA cards. [21:02] Alvinware: np. if you need more suggestions, ask again - there's other programs for sure. >D [21:02] tonii: The monitor selection might be switchable with F4 or F5, depending on your system. You might also see if you can get xrandr to tell you about monitors and possibly switch the output. [21:02] minimec it only takes a screenshot of my left monitor, that's the problem :( [21:02] click_here: your favourite web browser perhaps and adobe's flash? [21:02] So I learned the most pointless and nerdy thing ever and it's incredible! hovering over a sound file starts playing it. [21:03] I have installed jaunty on my mini 12 and my firefox is freezing my whole machine...anyone have a similar problem before? [21:03] stroyan: hm, didn't try , I should test that first. [21:03] Radtoo, hmm.. i thought i had both of those already and it still isn't working [21:03] radtoo, is avidemux the best in format support? [21:03] RocketLauncher: What GPU do xou have? [21:03] ascheel: thats nautilus integration [21:03] fccf: it rocks what it is. :) [21:03] is there a decent clipboard manager for ubuntu? [21:03] minimec ati hd4670 [21:03] yet [21:04] lets say ive got a music folder in /home/linduxed/music and i want the user mpd to be able to access it through a symlink called /var/lib/mpd/music, how do i set up the permissions so mpd gets to see and read the contents of /home/linduxed/music? [21:04] RocketLauncher: fglrx driver? [21:04] Alvinware: its pretty good. if you're in need to do this professionally you may be more happy with ffmpeg or transcode or mencoder on the command line, but I think avidemux has more than most people need. [21:04] minimec nope [21:04] david_: glipper is a clipboard manager for gnome [21:05] minimec http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd [21:05] linduxed: if I remember right, the user MPD gets ran as needs to have permissions to access both the sym link (including all parent directories) [21:05] i think i need a decoder [21:05] minimec thats what i use [21:05] Thank You very much for your advices, Radtoo. [21:05] is gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad ok to install? [21:05] click_here: yeah why not? [21:05] linduxed: the directory it's pointing to also needs permissions for the same user and I could be wrong on this, but I think the user needs to have permission to access the directory from the standard (non-sym link) as well [21:06] mgolisch, i don't want to get a virus or something [21:06] Alvinware: np. [21:06] RocketLauncher: Ok. Could be a driver thing. I don't see a reason, why gnome-screenshot shouldn't work. I personally guess its a driver related problem. [21:06] ascheel: that sounds reasonable, but terribly insecure in a way [21:06] mgolisch, plus, it says its restricted software === Mud|brb is now known as Mud [21:06] linduxed, insecure? You want them to have access, that's as secure or insecure as it gets. [21:06] Either they have access or they don't [21:06] minimec Should I try fglrx? I tried it before but I didn't know how to set up dual screens using it. Display preferences didn't even load up.. [21:07] fccf, i installed glipper and cant find it..:-/ [21:07] RocketLauncher: There is an ati config gui. You have to use that one. [21:07] ascheel: yeah i guess im talking trash [21:07] david_: hold on while I test [21:07] click_here: i think the bad set codecs isnt as good quality as the others but it shouldnt realy harm your system in anyway [21:07] fccf, k [21:07] minimec I'll try getting fglrx now. do i have to uninstall the radeon driver that i already have or what [21:07] mgoliscoh okh, [21:08] linduxed: mpd is a server process. As long as it's locked down, you have nothing to worry about. I don't believe mpd needs write access, just read [21:08] mgolisch, you wouldn't happen to know of a great music player for ubuntu that lets you rip in flac? [21:08] ascheel: thats right [21:08] linduxed: I'm going to advise you to check out #mpd, as it's a bit off topic for the #ubuntu channel. [21:08] RocketLauncher: No. That is no problem, but you well have to uninstall the fglrx driver, if you want to use the opensource driver, because fglrx adds a special kernel module. === cryptide|na is now known as cryptide [21:08] linduxed: but I believe what I told you is truth [21:08] does anyone know how to watch videos on www.crackle.com [21:08] minmec okay [21:09] !ot | sumant [21:09] i have ubuntu 9.04 with adobe flash 10 istalled [21:09] sumant: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [21:09] minimec: I'll try getting the fglrx driver now === toucan is now known as Just_a_joke [21:09] Radtoo, which website have the guide to edit 10-network-security.conf? [21:09] @ubottu thanks man [21:09] all i still get in youtube is black video, no video [21:10] sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [21:10] Alvinware: tweak it to accomplish what? [21:10] david_: run pkill gnome-panel ... and wait for a new panel ... then right click on top panel and click add to panel === ToXBoT_ is now known as ToXBoT [21:11] dcherniv: I've copied the file to family's home folder, now what do I have to do to the permissions? they still confuse me, can you list the command? [21:11] following a howto for cpu scaling, wants me to go to gconf-editor under gnome-power-manager, and the hading 'cpufreq' under that. its not listed. what gives? [21:11] flashplayer-installer [21:11] minimec, I get this when trying to download fglrx in synaptic: http://pastebin.com/d4bd85aec [21:11] fccf, its not in the add to panel list [21:11] radtoo, I'm using aMule, and Transmission, while browsing web pages, it slow, so i intend to tweak it for internet/network performance. [21:12] twig11: sudo chmod 777 /path/to/script [21:12] david_ it will say clipboard manager in the list [21:12] dcherniv: okay [21:12] does anyone have a dell mini 12? [21:12] fccf, ahhhh thanks [21:13] RocketLauncher: You have another window with Synaptic or another package manager open. 2"nd: Install the fglrx driver via the restricted drivers option in the system settings menu. [21:13] minimec where is the restricted drivers? is that in Hardware Drivers? [21:13] can anyone help with gftp? [21:14] anyone good with usb bluetooth adapters? [21:14] got one that no module seems to have any clue about [21:14] naildownx3: I use a similar laptop. Same CPU and video, if I remember right. [21:14] dcherniv: does anything have to be done to the permissions of the target script fixwifi in /bin for non-admin users to be able to run it? [21:14] RocketLauncher: System/Admin/Hardware Drivers... in the menu yes [21:14] hciconfig sees it.. thats the odd part [21:15] but the bluetooth wizard etc doesnt [21:15] hi! i have a new notebook with an intel 3935abg wireless adapter and the kernel seems to load the module (modprobe -l lists it) but i get no interface in ifconfig an the network manager does not show wireless connections (the option to turn wireless on or off is grey) - anyone got ideas how to find out whats wrong? [21:15] how can I install ubuntu-amd64.iso to my thumbdrive in ubuntu-i386 ? [21:15] Tenkawa: ill tell you right now the bluetooth stack in linux is awful. Spent a week with bluetooth headphones only to find out the support just isnt there yet. [21:15] ziewback_: dmesg? [21:15] velcroshooz: agreed [21:15] hi. if i want to have ubuntu/vista dual boot, which should i install first? do i need to make a partition in my HDD? [21:15] mgolisch: just a moment [21:16] fwaokda: I recommend you don't use ubuntu-amd64.iso, I recommend you download the ubuntu installer meant for thumb drives and memory sticks [21:16] nevermind [21:16] hi [21:16] hi [21:16] ascheel, what u mean? [21:16] Is anyone here experienced with Audacity? [21:16] yep [21:16] fwaokda: .iso files are CD images, meant to burn to a CD.

Dunno if your just trying to sync a phone or what but anything else is going to be intermittent its basically unusable [21:17] twig11: and sudo chmod +r /bin/fixwifi [21:17] minimec for some reason hardware drivers just sits at 0 percent "Searching for available drivers" [21:17] fccf, I'm trying to combine two .wav files into one, but when I export my project, the .wav file it saves is broken. Help? === rene is now known as Guest21693 [21:17] ascheel, where do i find the other iso for thumb drive then? [21:17] bambu: if windows is installed first.. when you boot from the ubuntu cd there is an option to personally partition your hardrive but windows will not recognize [21:17] you need to make sure it isnt corrup [21:18] corrupt [21:18] ascheel, btw I'm installing it to a pc just via thumb drive... if that matters? [21:18] fwaokda: stand by. It won't be a .iso file. [21:18] mgolisch: hm it says two things: "eadio frequency kill switch is on, radio disabled by kill switch" and "firmware: requesting ilwifi..." - whats this rf kill switch? [21:18] btgream: which should i install first? [21:18] fwaokda: i think usb inmages are only availiable for netbook remix [21:18] following a howto for cpu scaling, wants me to go to gconf-editor under gnome-power-manager, and the heading 'cpufreq' under that. its not listed. what gives? === BePhantom_ is now known as BePhantom [21:18] mgolisch, bah well i dont want that trash [21:18] RocketLauncher: I don't know why that is.

[21:18] minimec is there another way to obtain it [21:19] nm. ubuntu help says windows first is easier [21:19] instead of vista.. not a big vista fan [21:19] babmu: vista first is much easier [21:19] ziewback_: it means the radio switch is off, sure there is no switch or button on the keyboard? [21:19] dcherniv: I just tested it from a non-admin account and it works. WOOHOOOO! Thanks for all the help! I'm up and running. [21:19] ascheel, mgolisch , the usb startdisk creator in ubuntu wont solve putting the iso to my usb drive for me?

[21:21] fwaokda: I understand that. Follow the link the other fellow gave you for creating a boot disk. [21:21] fccf, do you have any idea what might be wrong? [21:21] RocketLauncher: As you do it now, with that Hardwar Dirvers wizard. [21:21] mgolisch: well there is some button one can press by using fn-f2 but it does not seem to do anything - its belinea jft00 [21:21] woodworker2001: you will need a LAMP stack ... thats LInux Apache Mysql Php ... which is the engine that moodle .. the modular object oriented distributed learning environment .. runs on [21:21] is there anywhere online i can learn to customize gnome? [21:21] Hello. I cannot get the microphone working. Everything is enabled. Any help would be appreciated. [21:21] fwaokda: an iso file will ONLY allow you to burn it to a CD, not to a USB device. It's not quite as easy getting it to a USB Device, but it *IS* possible [21:21] like i just want 1 bar instead of 2 [21:21] minimec Hardware Drivers doesn't seem to be working correctly for some reason.. on ATI's site I've seen this: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.37&lang=English and on packages.ubuntu I found this http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/xorg-driver-fglrx/download (which is what I'm actually downloading) [21:21] ziewback_: whats the modules name? [21:21] mgolish: should pressing such a software key do something immeadeately? [21:22] hello i have about 30 gb on my root which is of no use and the space is being wasted ,i was planning to repartition it and get another partition of 10-15 gb out of it ,any idea how to do it? [21:22] hi there. Is it possible to have multiple versions of certain library installed on ubuntu? I'd like to make some experimets with current libxml2 - unfortunately my ubuntu has quite old implementation so I need to compile it from sources. But I would like not to break anything. Are there any suggestions on this? I suppose that gentoo people call this "stacking". [21:22] fccf it doesnt matter if I am running desktop or server version of ubuntu [21:22] ascheel, I tend to use unetbootin for that. It's sort of hit-and-miss sometimes though [21:22] bumblebee: I recommend a gparted live CD [21:22] DOES ANYONE USE GFTP?? [21:22] mgolisch: it seems its iwl3945 === rene is now known as Guest79519 [21:22] minimec: the one at packages.ubuntu gives me the same error: Failed to lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock [21:22] bumblebee: I'm pretty sure you can't online-shrink ext3 or ext4, but gparted off the livecd should make this fairly painless. [21:22] ascheel, well it seems very easy using the ubuntu tool by going to "System>Admin>Usb startup disk creator" ... [21:22] Apollo2366: my first thought is you don't have the appropriate debs loaded to do audiofile manipulation [21:22] hatter243: I've had the same experience. I've found the easiest solution is to use a USB to IDE converter and just boot from a normal CD [21:22] any suggestions for live cd [21:22] fwaokda: that's true, but that won't have the USB installer on it [21:23] knoppix or something else [21:23] woodworker2001: in an educational environment ... no [21:23] bumblebee: what do you intend to use the new partition for, though? A bindmount might allow you to accomplish the same thing without repartitioning. [21:23] DOES ANYONE USE GFTP?? [21:23] RocketLauncher: As I said. You have anopther synaptic session open. You have to close all synaptic windows... [21:23] bumblebee: is your home dir in its own partition? [21:23] ascheel, whats the usb installer? [21:23] and im planning to put mac os x on it [21:23] home is separate [21:23] minimec I dont have any open [21:23] Does anyone know how to change the order of the definitions in dictd? /etc/dictd/dictd.order does not change anythin [21:23] fwaokda: repeat that, fwaokda? I don't understand what you're asking. [21:23] mgolisch: if this is just a software button is there a possibility to tell the module the button is always on? [21:23] fccf, What debs do you think I need, and where can I find them? Also, .wav is the only file format that doesn't work. [21:23] btgream: shout less please, and what's your actual question? [21:23] ziewback_: if you run: cat /sys/bus/pci/drivers/iwl3945*/rf_kill in a terminal, what does it output? [21:23] well you could just resize your root partition with gparted [21:24] bumblebee: but back up your stuff first [21:24] hi, would anyone want to help me configure my X? for now it looks like this: http://pastebin.com/m473f9eac [21:24] if i want the kde look installed what would i install [21:24] you said "...that won't have the USB installer on it" I asked what is the "USB installer" your talking about. [21:24] is it a whole other os? [21:24] does anyone know how to open streams from thedailyshow.com with totem? [21:24] ascheel, you said "...that won't have the USB installer on it" I asked what is the "USB installer" your talking about. [21:24] moncky: aye I suggested that, but he will need to do it from a live CD. Can't resize a mounted partition. [21:24] hmmm... i tried putting mac osx vmware does not work [21:24] RocketLauncher: There is a process running. Try to kill that process in the gnome-system-monitor or restart the machine. [21:24] hi there!! [21:24] ziewback_: cat /sys/bus/pci/drivers/iwl3945/*/rf_kill sorry forgot a slash [21:24] :) [21:24] so thought might install it [21:24] fwaokda: sorry, I meant that won't have the Ubuntu Installer. I made a typo, I apologize [21:24] is there anyone here familiar with kino? [21:24] ascheel: you can actually grow a mounted ext4 partition, but you can't shrink it. [21:24] mzz: thank you.. just wondering how someone can access your files using gftp [21:24] fccf I didnt catch you last answer.... I am not sure what I just did ...... sorry new to this whole thing [21:25] minimec ok [21:25] mzz: ah, that I didn't know. EXT4 only or can you do it with ext2/3 [21:25] btgream: iirc gftp is just a client, so they can't [21:25] ascheel: I suspect you can do it with ext3 too. I don't know about reiser. [21:25] and its not been maintained for ages [21:25] Where should I go to get information on Ubuntu and Nvidia with multiple graphics cards and multiple monitors? [21:25] id use something else [21:25] filezilla for example [21:25] mzz: wack! thanks! [21:25] I have two cards with 4 monitors... [21:25] any suggestions for live cd ..... === redsoxking|AFK is now known as redsoxking [21:25] i'm trying to import a AVI video into kino, so I can cut it a bit, but the importing is taking too long.. it's a 200mb movie and it's importing for about 40 minutes now [21:25] ascheel: bumblebee ahh true in that case just use the ubuntu live cd to resize the partition [21:25] ascheel, hmm ok [21:25] ascheel, thanks [21:25] ascheel: especially useful if the partition's sitting on an lvm volume, which you can easily resize without having to move partitions around [21:26] mgolisch: hm it says no such file or drectory - there is a iwl3945 dir but there is only bind, new_id etc in it [21:26] it created two files, one .pcm and one .dv .. both are empty [21:26] fwaokda: you're welcome [21:26] ok thats cool [21:26] sorry.. not .dv its .i420 [21:26] wow 158mb download just to make my ubuntu pretty lol [21:26] minimec i dont see anything open [21:27] Klowny: what did you download for that? haha [21:27] kubuntu-desktop ascheel [21:27] woodworker: for educational purposes .. no it would not matter which version you'd be usin [21:27] Klowny: hehe... good luck with that. :) [21:27] RocketLauncher: 'All processes'-tab. There has do be a process runnung, that blocks apt. [21:28] why is it bad ascheel??? [21:28] fccf: is one easier than the other? [21:28] Where should I go to get information on Ubuntu and Nvidia with multiple graphics cards and multiple monitors? [21:28] fccf, did you catch my response? [21:28] I have two cards with 4 monitors... [21:28] mgolisch: i tried cat .../iwl3945/0000...00/rfkill/rfkill0/state and it gives me "2" [21:28] I don't have a bluetooth icon in my gnome panel. lsusb lists my bluetooth adaptor. bluetoothd is running. What else needs to be there for this to work? [21:28] Klowny: lol KDE is just overwhelming for people new to it, that's all I meant. [21:28] say i am trying to get firefox to send irc connection data to xchat, but everything i have tried via the net has been useless. [21:28] oh i won't bother with it then because i am new to ubuntu period [21:29] hello folks, just made the mistake of upgrading to jaunty, whilst have a ATI card! does anyone have a link to a workaround ? thanks [21:29] i am just sick of 2 bars on top and bottom === WelshDragon is now known as YDdraigGoch [21:29] i just want one bar [21:29] Klowny: you can customize those bars. [21:29] Klowny: right-click the one you don't want and remove it [21:29] i've tried ascheel i am too stupid lol [21:29] Apollo2366: in Synaptic .. search for wav and install the actual wave plugins/drivers ... not sure what they all are called ... work with the discriptions [21:29] have the white screen of death billy? [21:29] no ascheel because then i dunno how to get everything on one bar safely lol [21:29] msg %s xdcc list [21:29] fccf:try apt-cache search [21:29] minimec i dont see it unless i don't know what I'm really looking at. is there any way to save a log of this? [21:30] fccf, I can play any other .wav just fine. It's just this one that doesn't work. [21:30] following a howto for cpu scaling, wants me to go to gconf-editor under gnome-power-manager, and the heading 'cpufreq' under that. its not listed. what gives? [21:30] Klowny: Just drag all applets from top panel to bottom panel. Oh by the way, they're called panels. [21:31] ok leaf-sheep [21:31] RocketLauncher: Just restart that machine. There is something blocking the installation software apt. That's the error message you showed me. Restarting the machine, or maybe even a basic logout/login will kill that process, if you don't find it. [21:31] billy_: my friend and i just upgraded also, he has an ati card, and i have an nvidia, I installed mine and everything works great, however, it took him 12 hours to figure out a way to get his drivers to work, im not sure what he did to fix it tho sry... [21:31] minimec: RocketLauncher ps [21:31] minimec i'll restart [21:32] fccf: do you have any insight to installing Ubuntu onto a flash drive? [21:32] ziewback_: tried setting it to 0? [21:32] Dreki: thanks... I may down grade until its fixed [21:33] mgolisch: not yet [21:33] !usb | woodworker [21:33] woodworker: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [21:33] ziewback_: try to do so and then reload the module [21:33] mgolisch: how do i reload the module? [21:34] fccf: I wan to install to a bootable flash drive not from a flash drive [21:34] ziewback_: sudo modprobe -r modulename; sudo modprobe modulename [21:34] woodworker: look at the persistant install .. second link [21:34] Klowny, http://yfrog.com/b7screenshottoip [21:34] I have rtcwake -s 180 -m mem last in a bash script, but the script doesn't execute the command, why? the command works when I run it from command line manually using sudo rtcwake -s 180 -m mem. [21:35] Simple. I'm trying to grep my whole HD and put all the results in a folder. What am I doing wrong. Did I miss some single quotes? grep -r -i repair / > /tmp/foo [21:35] fccf, I think I'm just not saving it correctly or something. Any idea? [21:35] mgolisch: sudo echo 0 | /sys/.../iwletc.../state gives me permission denied === john_ is now known as RocketLauncher [21:35] I am sure the script executes because it writes a file to my home folder. [21:35] ziewback_: do sudo -s before then enter the command in a root shell === karma is now known as punyhumanright [21:35] i'm curiouse. is there are help web sites for setting up a VPN on ubuntu [21:35] Evelina: can you put the script into pastebin? [21:35] !vpn [21:35] From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD [21:35] billy_: well, i know that he got it fixed somehow, id try downloading ATI drivers make the file runable and run it directly, i think thats how he started... [21:35] ziewback_: also use echo foo > bar [21:36] mgolisch: I have a cron job that I have created using sudo crontab -e. Wouldn't the script be run as root then? [21:36] Evelina: yes [21:36] Evelina: it should [21:36] minimec i'm going to try to do it now [21:36] RocketLauncher: Yeah. Let's hope for the best. [21:36] brentv911, http://tinyurl.com/mrflnt take your pick [21:37] Hey people. Can anyone tell me how to list *manually* (i mean by the defention of the *word*, not by apt(itudes) defenition) such as debfoster does it, using aptitude? According to debfoster's homepage it's deprecated just because aptitude has this functionality, but i haven't been able to replicate it. I'm not looking for another "dpkg --get-selections" script mind you. [21:37] mgolisch: Strange, but the command rtcwake -s 180 -m mem doesn't execute at all. When I run it manually with sudo in front it will. [21:37] Apollo2366: er um ... not really ... make sure you have the right encoders and such .. not sure how well audacity works with wav [21:37] Evelina: to be sure it's set up as root, look at the files in the directory: /var/spool/cron/crontabs each file is the cron for the user the file is named after. [21:37] Evelina: is the crontab running the command, or does id execute a .sh script that you wrote? [21:37] minimec install successful brb [21:37] fccf: I have tried 3 times to install direct to flash drive..... but when I place the GRUB file to /dev/sdb1 and try to reboot it comes up with a damaged or invalid bootable partition error. [21:37] moncky: even if it's a script, it's being executed as the user it's in the crontab under [21:37] fccf, thanks anyway... [21:37] Evelina: the cron daemon might have a different environemnt, make sure to use full paths to executables [21:38] mgolisch: gmesg says the rf_kill switch is still on [21:38] moncky: The crontab is running a script where the last line is rtcwake -s 180 -m mem. [21:38] ziewback_: but cat on the state thing doenst say 2 anymore? [21:38] moncky: I'm sure the cron job work because the script also creates a file in my home folder. [21:38] pelle_k: Sounds like you want Computer Janitor. Not sure. [21:39] ascheel: so file ownership ok? [21:39] moncky: file ownership only relates to the permissions as to whether cron can execute it. [21:39] hey so i am stumped, every time i reboot and start ubuntu it starts in text mode, ive tried looking but apparently no one has a problem like this in the forums. can anyone please show me how to start it "graphically" [21:39] mgolisch: Hm, I'll check it out. [21:39] When I plug in my ipod, rhythmbox starts playing music in my other user account. I fix this by using top to see the pid of rhythmbox, and then killing it. Any idea how to prevent this from happening in the first place though? [21:39] woodworker: hmm perhaps you need to run grub on the disk, as opposed to putting the file on ... [21:39] mgolisch: just lokked and it still says 2 after setting it [21:40] !grub | woodworker .. see this [21:40] woodworker .. see this: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [21:40] leaf-sheep: this only lists packages "not needed" anymore, or not in the repos, probably a bug. Thanks for trying though :) [21:40] Anyone installed vlc 1.0.0? [21:40] so.... anyone got any ideas [21:40] syslq78: I have and it works wonderfully for me [21:40] !x | ivan_ (See the command). [21:40] ivan_ (See the command).: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [21:41] fccf: it gives me the option to put the file on my master boot list, but then the usb drive is only good on one computer [21:41] syslq78, sure. It runs great.. [21:41] ivan_: Gnome? [21:41] ascheel: When I do ls /var/spool/cron/cronjob I only get root as an answer in Terminal. So I think the cron job is executed as root. [21:41] ivan: update-rc.d gdm add [21:41] Guys have you used the deb provided on vlc web site? [21:41] how can i change the native drive of my tp-link wireless card for the ndiswrapper driver? [21:41] Or is it in some repo? [21:41] alright thanks [21:41] Dreki: thanks ...I'll give it a try [21:41] woodworker: see the second link about grub ... you can install directly to the stick [21:41] Evelina, that's correct. That 'root' file is a text file, it contains your cron. If you ONLY have root, then it will be executed as that user [21:42] fccf: I am looking at that now [21:42] syslq78: I did use that deb. Worked ok for me. [21:42] ziewback_: strange, what version of ubuntu do you run? [21:42] ziewback_: also make sure to install all upgrades [21:42] mgolisch: 9.04 [21:42] ascheel, thanks I'm looking forward to upgrading [21:42] updates [21:42] syslq78: well i installed it from this page, http://philip.magicalforest.se/ . [21:42] mgolisch: hard without wlan.. :) [21:43] theres been alot of changes with that rfkill stuff in recent kernel versions [21:43] thanks so "sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart" will restart the graphical interface? [21:43] Hm, I'm not sure rtcwake is even installed. I get nothing when I do sudo aptitude show rtcwake or sudo aptitude search rtcwake. [21:43] pelle_k, thanks [21:43] syslq78: though i only pulled what was needed and then deactivated it, since it contains lots of stuff i didn't want to update... [21:43] ziewback_: you dont have a wired connection? [21:43] ivan_, ? needs to be a k or a g .. k for kubuntu g for ubuntu [21:43] I'm stupid. Of course it's installed. I have run it from Terminal. :( [21:43] nano [21:44] I have heard vlc 1.0.0 has way better interface. VLC is kickass software with sad interface :) [21:44] minimec, i'm on windows right now. When I restarted Ubuntu, i saw a bunch of static and it's frozen [21:44] !! [21:44] got it thank you [21:44] How do I find the path to rtcwake? [21:44] I tried find rtcwake without any luck. [21:44] Evelina: which rtcwake [21:44] ascheel: Ok [21:45] mgolisch: at the moment not - well will try after updates [21:45] mgolisch: thx for now [21:45] fccf: I am trying to do this from windows...... I am not currently running linux.... arent these instructions from linux? [21:45] /usr/sbin/rtcwake [21:45] Evelina: there ya go [21:45] join #django [21:45] I'll try to put the path before the command in my script. [21:45] oops me. Sorry. [21:46] ziewback_: you could also try to play with the enable/disable wlan thing in networkmanager, or doesnt it see it at all= [21:46] ? [21:46] i'm quitting linux minimec bye [21:46] RocketLauncher: Shouldn't be like that. That's why I wanted you to install it the Ubuntu way. I was pretty sure, that you will avoid that kind of problems... [21:47] syslq78: well vlc from repos had that bug where the video window is separated from the main gui, but with 1.0 thats fixed, fortunately. I prefer totem though *hides* [21:47] mgolisch: i found someone stating a solution on http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-453380.html - but he says one should modprobe fsam7400 (works) and then i should "echo 1 > /proc/driver/wireless/radio" but there is no /proc/wireless - btw there is no wlan on network manager [21:47] pelle_k, bug? I thought that's a feature [21:47] Thanks guys. I'll try it out right now, will see how it goes. [21:48] pelle_k, totem is mplayer fork isnt it? [21:49] why when i try to use ndiswrapper it returns a message that the hardware is not present? [21:50] What is the difference between: wget -O /dev/null "http://..." and wget "http://..." > /dev/null [21:50] Evelina: none [21:50] syslq78: bug/feature, to each his own. But i would like to have the choice for both modes.. Totem is not an mplayer fork, it's a gnome application using gstreamer while mplayer uses windows codecs (win32codecs) actually... [21:50] i tried it but when it wrote "starting GNOME" it failed [21:50] mgolisch: Ok, just wondering. [21:51] mplayer is using windows codecs? [21:51] mplayer draws most of it supported formats from ffmpegs libavcodecs [21:51] just like vlc [21:51] and i think both are supperior to gstreamer based stuff [21:51] in many ways [21:52] syslq78: ya, it can use a few windows codecs but usually its using native codecs [21:52] why when i try to use ndiswrapper it returns a message that the hardware is not present? [21:52] Cypher67: is the hardware present? [21:52] Cypher67: you probably loaded a inf for a wrong device [21:52] mgolisch, libvacodecs are open source from what I know [21:52] syslq78: yeah ffmpeg is opensource [21:52] mgolisch, mhm [21:53] flw galera.. fui [21:53] its the defacto standard in video encoding/decoding libraries [21:53] Well, at least rtcwake worked as expected. The computer suspended as it should. Now I only have to get it to work using cron job. [21:53] it is present and working with a native linux driver and i am trying to change to a windows driver [21:53] Cypher67: why? [21:53] Evelina, if you need help just ask. It's a pretty easy and straightforward task [21:54] also it will not work if the device is used by another driver allready [21:54] you have to unload the driver before [21:54] Well anyway I didnt meet anything on linux that vlc or mplayer didnt handle so far === oldude67 is now known as oldude [21:54] because the signal for the wireless is to weak. i have changed in mandriva to a windows driver and the signal improved a lot [21:54] yeah, and both have some realy cool feature [21:54] Is there any problem removing the graphics card belogning to my server and only use the server remote by another computer? Will it do any harm to remove a graphics card from a computer running Ubuntu Server? [21:54] both support vdpau for example [21:54] which gstreamer based players dont [21:55] I'd like to use my BT computer in a way counter to what it seems most people use BT for. I'd like to use the hands-free features of my phone to talk through my computer's microphone and speakers. [21:55] I can't seem to find any resources on that, since most software seems to go the other way. [21:55] ascheel: Thanks, I will give it a try myself. Thanks for helping me out. [21:55] hi - can someone help.....I have just installed ubuntu and it picks up my wireless network but I cannot see the outside world (ping returns network not found) [21:55] That is, where the computer broadcasts to a handsfree headset, etc. [21:55] No problem, Evelina === irfan_ is now known as dodobrain [21:56] Evelina :), nice nick [21:56] slyWhy? [21:57] syslq78: Why? [21:57] Evelina, it's just a name of the girl I once knew that's all [21:58] syslq78: Ok, it's a Swedish name, I think. [21:58] syslq78: Maybe used world wide. [21:59] anyone used UNetbooin to create usb bootable ubuntu? [21:59] yeah i think i did that once [22:00] why not just use the usb startup disk creator thing? [22:00] woodworker: I think I have done that, maybe not Ubuntu, but other distros. There is a software in Ubuntu 8.10+ to create bootable flash drives. [22:00] woodworker: As mgolisch said. [22:00] that is if you allready have ubuntu or can boot the livecd on some comp temporarely to create the usb boot thumb drive [22:00] do i want gtk 1 or 2 as far as gnome-looks.org is concerned? [22:00] !info usb-creator [22:00] usb-creator (source: usb-creator): Ubuntu USB desktop image creator. In component main, is optional. Version 0.1.16 (jaunty), package size 26 kB, installed size 556 kB [22:00] evelina: I have seen some of this...... but I am not running ubuntu [22:01] woodworker: this channel is for questions relating to Ubuntu. not general Linux support. [22:01] woodworker: Ok, I have used Unetbootin a couple of times. [22:01] woodworker: you can just boot the livecd and do it from there or boot it in a virtualisation software [22:01] thats how i did it the last times [22:01] can any help me with swap partition [22:02] following a howto for cpu scaling, wants me to go to gconf-editor under gnome-power-manager, and the heading 'cpufreq' under that. its not listed. what gives? [22:02] evelina: is there anything to doing this? [22:02] evening [22:02] velcroshooz: alt-f2 > gconf-editor [22:02] mgolisch: I have only been able to figure out how to burn an image disc and not a livecd [22:02] mneptok: k [22:03] I cannot change my ulimit to 8192 for my user, it produces an open file error? [22:03] It would be a kickass feature if ubuntu installer would allow me to customize packages like the thing fedora has [22:03] tyler_d: what produces that error? [22:03] mneptok: i can get into it fine cpufreq is just not listed uner gnome-power-manager [22:03] I'm trying to install vlc using ppa? [22:04] swap help pls [22:04] i have a small problem, basically, i just installed the PPC version of Jaunty on an old powerbook, I need to get wifi working by installing the b43-fwcutter package, problem is, I don't have a wired connection. so I can't apt-get it, and I can't find a PPC .deb anywhere on the web [22:04] ulimit -n 8192 [22:04] bonsoir a tous [22:04] anyone know where to look? [22:04] !ask > ramouryan [22:04] ramouryan, please see my private message [22:04] velcroshooz: are you sure your cpu supports the feature? [22:04] losher: yes, very [22:04] jaymuhz, wait a sec [22:04] jaymuhz: download it from the repo? [22:04] velcroshooz: ok, then I'll shut up now... [22:05] mgolisch: ulimit -n 8192 [22:05] mgolisch: do you know the PPC repo address? [22:06] jaymuhz: look in your sources.list? [22:06] jaymuhz, I think google could help you, or see your source.list in ur ppc ubuntu [22:07] the archive.ubuntu.com severs dont have anything but i386 and amd64 [22:07] so it must be alternate servers [22:07] Okay, how about this one, anyone else running jaunty 9.04 64bit with the 185 nvidia 64 bit driver? im getting OpenGL errors in Quake 4 because the 32 bit compatibility layer isnt installed/linked correctly, anyone know a fix for this? [22:07] i need to create partition i already have 4 partitions .. a ubuntu ext3 ,a swap,xp ntfs , a compaq files partition.............. i have lot of unpartitioned space of abot 100gb which i want make it as a new partition............ but i cant make more than 4 partitions .............. can any one help me put??????? [22:07] I didn't find anything, but yeh, i forgot about source.list, thanks [22:07] gimme a sec, i'll tell you if it works [22:07] ulimit? I can set restrictions to users such as quotas and process limitations for users? [22:07] ramouryan: delete the swap [22:08] ramouryan: then make extended partitions [22:08] That was a question [22:08] I want to install vlc 1.00, so how do i use ppa or that stuff and the keys needed? [22:08] LordLandon : if i delete will there not be any problem ?? [22:08] syslq78: yes, you can limit lots of stuff, like opened filehandles, processes and other stuff [22:08] mgolisch, thanks [22:09] ramouryan: you can make another swap partition, but extended instead of primary. [22:09] mgolisch, that's bash builtin I guess since it's no man page for it [22:09] Okay, find a ppa repository with vlc, and all needed informations you will find on their site [22:09] Okay: i followed this worked fine - http://tuxarena.blogspot.com/2009/07/how-to-install-vlc-10-from-ubuntu-ppa.html [22:09] Socah, it also says to "install" the key? [22:09] ports.ubuntu.com =] [22:09] ty [22:10] Okay, yes, it is [22:10] just doing sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 7613768D is enough though right [22:10] LordLandon : ok if i make new swap partition how can i make the os to recognise it [22:10] syslq78: yeah i think it is [22:10] Okay: yes, thats all you do on commandline to add a key [22:10] ramouryan: /etc/fstab has it. [22:10] Okay, you can just open key file in browser, copy content, save as file.key, and open with app source manager, import key - all done [22:11] that's what I do, if I don't remember commands [22:11] Radtoo: i need to change /etc/fstab file after making new swap parttition ??? [22:11] Socah, there is apropos :) [22:11] anyone have step by step info on hooking up wireless IBM card? [22:11] syslq78, yes? [22:12] ramouryan: yes, just add it there so it gets used for certain. [22:12] Socah, if you dont remember commands I mean [22:12] is there a reason a ppa repos would be ignored after being added manually? [22:12] ah, yea ;) [22:12] Is anybody from Asia [22:12] eshi yeah if you didnt updated it [22:12] eshi, aptitude update I think [22:12] it was updated [22:12] eshi, than no [22:12] eshi, commented? [22:12] well actually i should say update is ignoring it as well [22:12] Jasur: is that in relation to Ubuntu? [22:12] Radtoo : by chance if iam not able to boot the system what should i do?? [22:13] eshi than it's probably commented by mistake [22:13] naw it's not commented [22:13] eshi: its commented out, or incorrect syntax [22:13] ramouryan, pray [22:13] alright i'll check the syntax again to make sure and ty both [22:13] ramouryan any messages? [22:13] hi dracon [22:14] ramouryan: uuh... that depends on what is preventing it from booting. its not swap or the lack thereof though, very likely. [22:14] syslq78 , nice sugestion thankyou [22:14] so everytime I want a newer version of something, I just do the ppa thing and add those repositories into the /etc/apt/sources.list? [22:14] Radtoo : so if there is no swap also system will work ?? [22:14] ramouryan, I was joking, you get any messages while trying to boot, do you get into boot loader? [22:15] and then use the same sudo command to update them? [22:15] Okay: pretty much, find the ppa, add it to sources, add gpg key, sudo apt-get update, done [22:15] I can't figure out why my network:/// will only show 5 of the 40 computers connected to it. I am running Ubuntu 8.10 with the 9.04 upgrade on a Lenovo T3000 laptop. [22:15] syslq78 : i havent yet tried ....... i am trying it now [22:15] mhm [22:15] ramouryan: yes, thats correct. [22:15] quit [22:16] Btw how do you list all computers on network with ubuntu/linux witout using portscan? [22:16] what about firefox 3.5? I heard you can't use it till ubuntu 9.10 [22:16] Radtoo : can you tell me how to add new swap file to fstab [22:16] Okay: its in the standard repos right now [22:16] syslq78: check your network manager under places [22:17] is there an ubuntu/linux channel for blind users? [22:17] !pm > Jasur [22:17] Jasur, please see my private message [22:17] syslq78: depends very much on how these computers may be announcing themselves to the network... if they do. [22:17] velcroshooz, it's funny how it's called shiretoko though [22:17] syslq78: the only generic way really is a portscan tho. [22:17] aha [22:17] thanks [22:17] Okay: thats just the codename for it, not just the beta. i dont understand why either. [22:17] is there a way to use the locatedb to find the largest say 10 files on the system? [22:18] syslq78: check your network manager under places [22:18] I can't figure out why my network:/// will only show 5 of the 40 computers connected to it. I am running Ubuntu 8.10 with the 9.04 upgrade on a Lenovo T3000 laptop. [22:18] lacita, I need it for script [22:18] hi ubottu can you send one more time [22:18] lacita, something like net show in windows [22:18] syslq78: oh. [22:18] !bot [22:18] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [22:18] Jasur: lol [22:18] lacita, thanks anyway [22:19] hey there. I'm running icewm, and I don't see any way of configuring icewm's behaviour (i.e. whether the panel hides, etc etc) [22:19] is there still a configuration program rattling around? [22:19] syslq78: I know there's GUI program that i've sed in the past, bt i can't remember what the name was. [22:19] anyone know how to install a login theme from the command line? [22:19] GreyWanderer: try #icewm [22:19] I did, it's currently silent. [22:20] sorry i don't think so [22:20] vlc's not starting up for some reason [22:20] I can't figure out why my network:/// will only show 5 of the 40 computers connected to it. I am running Ubuntu 8.10 with the 9.04 upgrade on a Lenovo T3000 laptop. [22:20] GreyWanderer: we use xfce gnome and kde no icmwm [22:20] Okay: do a killall, and restart. [22:20] GreyWanderer: and soon lxde [22:20] heh. And I'm not sure if xfce will actually do what I want either. [22:20] Okay: or ctrl+alt+backspace [22:20] syslq78: icepref maybe? [22:20] er [22:20] GreyWanderer: do what [22:20] hm. That's a point. [22:20] thanks lacita [22:21] does anyone know how to install and choose a login theme from the command line? [22:21] hello === forrest is now known as forrestv [22:21] GreyWanderer, what he was meaning to say is just use desktop enviroment not just window manager [22:21] GreyWanderer: icepref myabe [22:21] geeeks [22:21] firecrotch, will try thanks [22:21] !dontzap | lacita [22:21] lacita: 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. [22:21] Okay: or ctrl+alt+backspace [22:21] Is it true that I can install it by unpacking the login theme tarball under /usr/share/gdm/themes/ ? [22:21] GreyWanderer: what can icewm do none else can lol [22:22] gogeta: what I want is: (1) hide the panel, and (2) when I start up a particular program, have the ability to totally fullscreen that program, i.e. no decorations, the window taking up the full screen. [22:22] lacita, Okay: Ctrl+Alt+Backspace has been disabled in Ubuntu [22:22] i just did another update for the "fail to recognize distribution" and it works now [22:22] kde can do it. Metacity can sort of do it if I manually resize/reposition after window creation. [22:22] dragon_: I do it all the time... [22:22] anyone familiar with changing the login screen from the command line? [22:22] icewm can resize/reposition, like Metacity, but I want to hide the panel. [22:23] lacita: Either you're running and older version of Ubuntu, or you enabled it manually. [22:23] GreyWanderer: you like the right click menu [22:23] GreyWanderer: that is a icewm thing [22:23] ibeekman: what kind of change? [22:23] gogeta: on what? desktop or panel? [22:23] dragon_: change the theme, and install a new theme [22:23] because on the panel, there's nothing related to preferences. [22:23] GreyWanderer: on icewm you rrighr click for your menu [22:24] any hints on connecting through a wireless? I am logged onto my network (well it accepted the name and the key) but I cannot actually send or receive any packets [22:24] right [22:24] I can't figure out why my network:/// will only show 5 of the 40 computers connected to it. Any sggestions wold be welcome [22:24] lets say when i type 'ls' and i get a list of files in my directory, i have lots of files that are very very long, and i'd like to manipulate their names, is there a way i can put a switch or something on the ls command to put a number to the file list so i could then type mv 'x' where x=some number? [22:24] does that even make sense? [22:24] Okay, how about this one, anyone else running jaunty 9.04 64bit with the 185 nvidia 64 bit driver? im getting OpenGL errors in Quake 4 because the 32 bit compatibility layer isnt installed/linked correctly, anyone know a fix for this? [22:24] and right-click on the desktop brings up the same as the button. [22:25] Xubuntnoob, not easy for a noob. you might want to man sed man awk [22:25] GreyWanderer: i belve iceprefs is what you whant [22:25] GreyWanderer: just run it if you cant find it [22:25] Xubuntnoob: you should consider using the Tab key for auto-completion. [22:25] Does anyone know of a reasonably priced Linux compatible printer/copier/scanner? [22:25] !wifi | smilecdl [22:25] smilecdl: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs === j_ack_ is now known as j_ack [22:26] Xubuntnoob, you want to rename files by appending them sequence number? [22:26] Any thoughts dragon_ ? [22:26] so if we keep adding repositories into the /etc/apt/sources.list, do we ever need to edit it when it becomes bloated? [22:26] darnell: linux is comoatble with alot of printers [22:27] darnell, I have an epson sx400 all in one that works nice [22:27] darnell: i prefer kodec printers cost a bit more but there ink is cheap [22:27] syslq78 - yea ( i think) ---> ls -sequence yields file1=1 file2=2 etc... so then i could type mv (sequence#1) /home/user/short.file.name [22:27] can please anyone tell me how to write the : echo "a !bg 'cd" / !cf' " so that it will give me the : a !bg 'cd" / !cf' ? and please could you check it in terminal before telling me the answer :( [22:27] Xubuntnoob: if you do ls > /tmp/t then the names will go into the file /tmp/t. Then you can edit /tmp/t and on each line put mv . When you're satisfied with the file, you can run it as a script and all the mv commands you've written will get executed.... [22:27] darnell: so in the end you save [22:27] ibeekman: couldn't find one. [22:28] darn. Apparently it's referred to, but there's no installation candidate. [22:28] Gogeta/Deaney thanks much [22:28] and thank you for the suggestion, by the way. [22:28] If icewm doesn't work out, I may even have to look at something as light as fluxbox... [22:29] problem is, limited memory, and hoggy programs. [22:29] GreyWanderer: lxde [22:29] GreyWanderer, how much of memory do you have? [22:29] 256Mb. [22:29] GreyWanderer, Openbox is nice aswell [22:29] I can't figure out why my network:/// will only show 5 of the 40 computers connected to it. Any sggestions wold be welcome [22:29] so I hear. [22:29] OpenBox++ [22:29] GreyWanderer: http://www.lxde.org/ [22:29] GreyWanderer lxde or xfce should run ok on that and it's full desktop enivroment [22:30] I know. I've got xfce here but I think it needs tweaking. [22:30] xfce is to blouted these days [22:30] bloted [22:30] losher - that sounds interesting, -for a different project i want to work on maybe, how could i do something like that where spaces are a problem? such as my music files, from windows rips the tracks all have spaces, how could i use a script like that but 'escape the space' [22:31] in the least time consuming / tedious manner [22:31] hm. Time I reset this irssi screen. [22:31] Xubuntnoob: just enclose the filename with single quotes e.g. 'my file name.mp3' and the spaces won't be a problem [22:31] gogeta: "bloated" [22:31] ah yes [22:31] mneptok: heh [22:32] Okay, how about this one, anyone else running jaunty 9.04 64bit with the 185 nvidia 64 bit driver? im getting OpenGL errors in Quake 4 because the 32 bit compatibility layer isnt installed/linked correctly, anyone know a fix for this? [22:32] hey ho. [22:32] GreyWanderer: if you relly wnna go light wight ust use xinit [22:32] heh [22:32] gogeta: well, I did seriously think of that. [22:32] Xubuntnoob: just noticed the 'least time consuming' postscript. In that case, I would use the rename command to change all the spaces to dashes. I think you can do that in a one-liner... [22:32] Hey, is it possible to print to a PDF from firefox? [22:32] GreyWanderer, i realize this is a ubuntu support channel, though you were speaking of too bloated de's i discovered a distro based on ubuntu minimal install, using openbox de, that was somewhat rather nice, it seems like it would work well on low end hardware, its called crunchbang (i hope thats not against channel rules) their latest version uses jaunty sources. of course, anything further, you would have to google for their support channel [22:33] After all, I wanted to start SecondLife as just the pure client, no other programs. [22:33] GreyWanderer: but lxde looks alot like gnome but lighter then xfce [22:33] puff yeah all you need is pdf "printer" and you just print [22:33] heh. [22:33] theTroy: these docs might help: http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html#Quoting [22:33] GreyWanderer: look at the screens [22:34] GreyWanderer: they even have there own netbook remix lxlauncher [22:34] syslq78: How do I set that up? I've gotta web page up in firefox that I had to pay to get, state driver's history for a friend, and I need to print it for him so he can take it into the DMV and argue with them. [22:34] dragon_ I am aware of that, but it just doenst work [22:34] dragon_ echo "a \!bg" gives a \!bg and not a !bg [22:34] puff well the really simple way is to make a screen shoot and print that [22:35] Good pooint. [22:35] puff but otherwise print to ps and use ps2pdf [22:35] puff, you should save that webpage to a file, before its lost, then worry about printing. seeing as you paid for it [22:35] puff, first way you dont set anything up [22:35] nztal, :) [22:35] GreyWanderer: you can go fs on xninit as well alt enter on most apps or f11 on firefox [22:35] heh. [22:35] theTroy: you do not have to escape inside quotes. and usually you use single quotes. [22:35] this is what I get when trying to update transmission to 1.72---"checking for OpenSSL... configure: error: Cannot locate ssl" [22:35] Anyhow, how do I fullscreen an app on xinit with no WM ? [22:36] then it just stops working when I try ./configure [22:36] Alt-enter is a WM-support thing. [22:36] GreyWanderer: as i said alt enter is the fs hotkey for most apps [22:36] Okay: why are you compiling? [22:36] mneptok if I use single quotes, I cannot do the ' a !a 'a a' to get the a !a 'a a [22:36] mneptok, i want version 1.72 [22:36] GreyWanderer: f11 firefox [22:36] with no wm running, there's no ALt-enter for SOME programs (namely, twin and a couple of others) [22:36] this is probably getting way over my head, but is there a way in the mv where space = true < add _ or .> /working/directory/long_file_with_spaces ?? [22:36] nztal: I've saved it, but I seem to recall it didn't get through save/reload very well the last time I had to deal with it, and since he's going to be dealing with burueacrats... [22:36] GreyWanderer: f11 is normaly the other hotkey [22:37] pidgin etc [22:37] puff, cups-pdf [22:37] could anyone explain to me what -lcompat is? [22:37] I do: mv "file with spaces" $(echo "file with spaces" | sed 's/ /_/') [22:37] mneptok, I shouldn't be compiling then? [22:38] configure:16633: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -I/usr/include -I/usr/local/include -Wall -fno-strict-alias$ [22:38] /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcompat [22:38] is in my config log, but what is lcompat? [22:38] 2 [22:38] Okay: never [22:38] Okay: https://launchpad.net/~transmissionbt-nightly/+archive/ppa [22:38] I'm out of here anyhow. Thanks all. [22:38] GreyWanderer: isnt it mv file\ file is you have a space lol [22:39] Ramonster: it is a C compatibility library. I forget what it's for. You need to find its package and install it... [22:39] mneptok, why is compiling not good? because there's already a stable version of 1.72 already? [22:39] greywanderer - and that i'm assuming would work in a script like losher was describing? [22:39] losher.. what is its package? any chance you know? [22:39] why is copying files to an sd card (ext3) so slow? says it will take over 2 hours to copy a 5mb file and then returns an error saying unable to copy. [22:40] Okay: because Ubuntu has a package system that should be used whenever possible. compiling is going to potentially break things. [22:40] mneptok: not relly as long as he compiles it as a deb first befor installing it should not confflict [22:40] losher: what is its package? any chance you know? [22:41] mneptok, I'm at this page. http://ppa.launchpad.net/transmissionbt-nightly/ppa/ubuntu/ [22:41] hey any1 managed to get SWScanner working on gnome?

[22:48] kk_: what are you trying to accomplish? [22:48] Ramonster: The gcc -lcompat error indicates a need for libcompat.so or libcompat.a. Those dietlibc and dietlibc-dev packages provide those library files, (and header files). [22:49] Ramonster: it means you need to try 'sudo apt-get install dietlibc-dev' and see if your problem goes away [22:49] jrib, Im following this: http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Plasma/GettingStarted [22:49] mneptok, okay.

[22:53] not old xD [22:53] mneptok, okay I ran sudo apt-get update [22:53] Okay: sudo apt-get upgrade [22:53] Okay: and you will get a nightly version of Transmission [22:53] theraptor, ah, so you only have a good taste for music than [22:53] yeah [22:53] Okay: and you will continue to get nightly builds via the package system [22:53] mneptok, "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded." [22:53] ramouryan, I don't know, how you have managed to do so but the max. limit for partitions is 4 for a single had drive [22:54] hard* [22:54] det_ :: one of them is extended partition === chaky_ is now known as chaky === disco_stu_N800 is now known as disco_stu [22:54] ramouryan: for *primary* partitions [22:54] ramouryan, just one? [22:54] mneptok, I checked and it's still 1.51 [22:54] ramouryan: sorry.. was meant for det_ [22:54] ramouryan: good. Now you can add new partitions inside the extended partition... [22:54] losher or Slart could you tell me more of how to do this please? does ubuntu have vm already built in? please PM me so I can follow iwht out all the other stuff interfering with me being able to read. I am blind its a little hard to follow help in here [22:54] Slart, that's what I ment :) [22:54] Okay: you did not use the quotes (" ") in /etc/apt/sources.list, did you? [22:54] Spirits-Sight: no worries [22:55] mneptok, let me recheck [22:55] mneptok, nope, no quotes [22:55] det_:/sda2 is extended .. init ihave /sda5 partition which is swap [22:55] Slart: can 3 of us join a single PM? [22:55] ramouryan, I don't think it helps that you'd have 4 primary partitions and 1 extended [22:56] losher, Spirits-Sight we can create a new channel [22:56] losher, Spirits-Sight: join #spirit [22:56] !sound [22:56] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[22:59] techbw: I know of is4c / fannie ... it was designed for grocery stores ... lots of plu's [22:59] Okay: ah, i see the problem [23:00] Okay: you need "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/transmissionbt-nightly/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main" (no quotes) in /etc/apt/sources.list [23:00] techbw: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=87743 [23:00] ramouryan, how much you got RAM? [23:00] Okay: you left off the "jaunty main" bit [23:00] Hm, I installed cups-pdf and it created a PDF printer, but when I print to printer PDF, where does the output file show up? [23:00] thanks, much appreciated...is it open source? [23:00] techbw: I think so ... search [23:00] det_/dev/sda1--ext3,/dev/sda3--ntfs -- these two are os partitions ubuntu and xp respectively.........../dev/sda2 -extended -- this one has sda5 -linux swap,sda6&7 -fat32 ... /dev/sda4 -- unknown it has compaq files [23:01] puff: ~/PDF [23:01] det_:: ram is 4gb [23:01] ramouryan: an MSDOS disklabel only supports 4 partitions, including extended. [23:01] mneptok, it's still 1.51 [23:02] extended is always sda4 [23:02] Okay: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [23:02] so the first logical partition is sda5 [23:02] ramouryan, you have sda6 and 7? the pastebin result only shows sda1-5 [23:02] i have only four [23:02] mneptok: Ah, thanks, had to create ~/PDF for it to print to. [23:02] mneptok, 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [23:02] or thats how its always been with me [23:02] I really need to code up a version of my aptwiki idea.

[23:04] ramouryan, I mean are you running 32-bit or 64-bit? [23:05] catharcyst: ubuntu doesn't use a root password.. use your user password [23:05] det_:: its 32 bit [23:05] catharcyst: and karmic support is in #ubuntu+1 [23:05] slart it does not work [23:05] ramouryan, there you go :). well the max. RAM is still about 3.3gb so that's not gonna end [23:05] Slart ok [23:05] I hate the fact that there's no root at all for ubuntu, horrible idea [23:06] The other users cant use sound on my computer. they get the error audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open audio device for playback.You don't have permission to open the device. Why is this? [23:06] RandomTime: you are misinformed. Why do you have that opinion? [23:06] Okay: so try bortis' main PPA - deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bortis/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main [23:06] RandomTime: root is there.. there just isn't a root password.. and I actually think it's a good idea.. what do you feel is bad about it? [23:06] RandomTime: then set a root password if it bothers you that much [23:06] ramouryan, the rest of your RAM will be shared with your graphics card [23:06] Prehaps I will [23:06] !supportroot | clearzen [23:06] clearzen: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [23:06] Okay: must go. ~40C in the office. time for siesta. [23:06] I probably am misinformed about the root password, but my inner Tux feels safer with one on [23:07] cool, ok I mean use debian instead [23:07] RandomTime: sudo -i [23:07] idet_ :: i divided extended volume i.e /sda2 into three partitions ..one swap and two fat 32 filesystems [23:07] BCM431, add the users to pulse-rt group [23:07] RandomTime, then your distro shouldn't be ubuntu [23:07] RandomTime: there was an opportunity for you to change that during the install.. may have been in the expert install tho [23:07] it's easy enough to set a root password after the fact. [23:07] RandomTime: do not set a password, use sudo -i [23:07] mneptok, thanks for all your help. I learned a lot today. :D [23:08] Okay: np np [23:08] also no root password is different than a null root password.

[23:42] Socah, see if you have an alsa module for comp-pcm-oss or somit [23:42] laclasse, in fact, I removed all e17 packages, even reinstalled ubuntu-desktop metapackage, still can't get back my mixers [23:42] laclasse, ok [23:42] Is there a good command to display your file system, partitions, mount points, etc, sort of like a nicely formatted combination of fdisk -l/df -h/mount output? [23:42] Out_Cold: "modprobe bc43xx" [23:42] edbian: yeap, it mounts with no problem [23:42] Socah, can you see the hw ? [23:42] in lspci or something [23:42] hi i hae a problem [23:43] hi i have a problem [23:43] what_if, Module bcm43xx not found. [23:43] Yo i need help but in spanish! pls xD [23:43] someone_: identity? [23:43] v1d4l0k4: Then why do you need to un-pack it? You have access through mounting yes? [23:43] !es | KrOlin [23:43] KrOlin: 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. [23:43] thanks bro!! [23:43] laclasse, yes, I can - I can even reload my alsa-modules and gain access to mixer with sudo before - none of modules you listed are modprobed [23:44] Socah, put volume high, and cat a short text file to /dev/dsp [23:44] hear some sound? [23:44] nsadmin i recently changed the login password and evolution now asks for mail passwords and the default keyring [23:44] cat foo.txt > /dev/dsp [23:45] laclasse, premission denied, even with sudo [23:45] Out_Cold: hmmm.... maybe it is called b43 ?? [23:45] someone_: so either change the password on the keyring too or (not recommended) change the login passwd back [23:45] Socah, ls -;l /dev/dsp shows ? [23:45] err [23:45] Socah, ls -l /dev/dsp shows ? [23:46] laclasse, crwxrwxrwx 1 root audio 14, 3 2009-07-14 18:42 /dev/dsp [23:46] Socah, ewww [23:46] 777 lol [23:46] Socah, you went desperate [23:46] Socah, are you in the 'audio' group ? [23:46] hey, i'm trying to boot 9.04 toram. when I'm loading from my 2gb usb flash drive I have options to: run ubuntu persistently, install, boot from first hard drive, and get help. when i press tab on boot persistently i get what i think are some options, but when i append 'toram' it doesn't seem to do anything. what am i doing wrong? [23:46] id [enter] [23:46] what_if, there is b43 and bc43xx [23:46] latest ubuntu update broke Xorg, gives error in intel_drv. Is this a known issue? [23:47] nsadmin : but i dont even remember setting one,is there a way to recover it in order to change it? [23:47] laclasse, sudo gpasswd -a geezus audio, made this [23:47] laclasse, this could help -> alsamixer from user is "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory" [23:47] Socah, ran asoundconf as root? [23:47] someone_: You set it when you originally gave the system your desired user name and password at install. The keyring is in Application -> Accessories [23:48] hi guys, is there a problem with python upgrade to the newest version? [23:48] hi guys, is there a problem with python upgrade to the latest* version? [23:48] laclasse, no such package, I will search in synaptics [23:48] Socah, thats usualy a permission issue [23:48] laclasse, as I guess, it is [23:48] my programs made in python stoped working [23:49] after a system upgrade [23:49] good day. have little question: I try to convert mkv-file to avi via ffmpeg. but mkv have 3 audio streams. how i can use for convertation only video (#0) and one of all (#3) audio stream? [23:49] gabriel-bezerra: did you check the first line of the script to make sure it is pointing to a valid binary? [23:49] gabriel-bezerra, do which python [23:49] hum.... [23:50] gabriel-bezerra, it probably made python 3.0 default and it broke compatibility [23:50] Out_Cold: have you installed b43-fwcutter? [23:50] ebbian : so the default keyring is my previous password..? [23:50] Socah, $ dpkg -S /usr/bin/asoundconf => alsa-utils: /usr/bin/asoundconf [23:50] gabriel-bezerra, dunno just guessing [23:50] ok [23:50] let me see here [23:50] when i run python shell and type import random [23:51] it happens an error [23:51] gabriel-bezerra, ah [23:51] kind of library problems [23:51] Socah, also tell me the perms of /dev/snd/pcm* [23:51] gabriel-bezerra, python path [23:51] check it [23:51] how do i do it? whereis python ?? [23:51] laclasse, crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 6 2009-07-14 18:42 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c [23:52] anybody have a clue why Xorg would start bombing after a normal update? I says "Saw signal 11" [23:52] Socah, no other devices? [23:52] sysdoc, $whereis python ?? [23:52] gabriel-bezerra, start python [23:52] gabriel-bezerra, print sys.path [23:52] laclasse, it's only one, snd-hda-intel integrated card on laptop [23:52] or print(sys.path) <-- python 3.x [23:52] Socah, i have the same ... this should give you 3 devices ... [23:53] how can i update to python 3.0, i selec [23:53] Are there any good audio editors for linux? [23:53] syslq78, to do that i have to import sys, right? [23:53] gabriel-bezerra, from what you told it seems python can not find that lib so it's not in path probably [23:53] gabriel-bezerra, yeah, you mean any lib doesnt work? [23:53] Apollo2366: audacity for simple things, ardour for more complex [23:53] Socah, only time i have seen this is when someone deactivated the winmodem in the bios of the laptop [23:53] Socah, you haven't made any changes to that have you? [23:53] mcphail, audacity is dead to me, I'll look into ardour. [23:53] mcphail, how about video editor :) [23:53] i installed it from the synaprics but python -V gives me python v 2.6.4 or sth in the same libe [23:54] laclasse, damn, you ask about this in /dev/snd/pcm - I got 3 devices, all with same premissions [23:54] syslq78: i use cinelerra, but it does crash rather a lot [23:54] could someone help me with sound,, http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=e8be8c6ba3f70045bb1bd35954b3aa70f8d71725 [23:54] mcphail, linux lacks normal video editor === Effexor is now known as vorian [23:55] how i can use for convertation mkv to avi only one of 3 audio streams? [23:55] mcphail, normal quality, there are some kickass enterpise systems for video editing and post production based on linux but they are high end systems that cost $$$$$$ [23:55] syslq78: cinelerra is a very full featured compositing video editor. Just a bit unstable [23:55] Socah, you should have a total of 6 files in there, with 3 of them starting with 'pcm', is this the case? [23:55] laclasse, what's a strange thing, when I round asoundconf, it ask me to install alsa-utils, when I try to install alsa-utils, it says it's installed [23:55] mcphail, I'm not ms fanboy obviously since I do use *nixes a lot but no free tool on linux comes close to windows movie maker, not to mention "normal" tools that cost [23:56] mcphail, you wouldn't happen to know why audacity would freeze every few minutes do you? [23:56] syslq78: i think some people use blender for video editing as well [23:56] mcphail, blender is kickass :) [23:56] Socah, uh [23:56] laclasse, /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p /dev/snd/pcmC0D3p - all I have [23:56] ok great [23:56] syslq78, agreed [23:56] Apollo2366: no. don't use it much but never had any problems like that [23:57] mcphail, oh well. I'm done with it anyway, if ardour turns out to be good. [23:57] mcphail, there is cinerlerra fork that is said to be better [23:57] hey, anyone that is a alsa guru and could help me get my sound working. http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=e8be8c6ba3f70045bb1bd35954b3aa70f8d71725 [23:57] Anyone use turboprint and knows how to remove the watermark manually? [23:57] syslq78: yes - that's what i use [23:57] Socah, would only say dpkg -P (apt-get remove --purge) all alsa-utils and reget them all from the same sources.list [23:57] how do i set up my printer for network use? [23:57] Socah, big sources.list ? [23:57] mainly for windows pcs(this is the only ubuntu pc i have [23:58] Apollo2366: make sure to install a realtime kernel, use jack for audio etc if you want best results [23:58] hey guys, recently switched over from a brief stint with debian to ubuntu. i installed ubuntu netbook remix and was wondering how i could speed up my boot. also, i cant seem to connect to my wpa secured network. im using an atheros wireless card. any ideas? [23:58] laclasse, a bit, 2x ppa's, + rest from official ubuntu repositories [23:58] syslq78, i can import math, for example [23:58] Okay: Is there a modern CUPS driver for your printer? [23:58] Socah, comment the ppa's and anything exotic would you? [23:59] avidemux is nice for converting video [23:59] sure [23:59] khazil, it's a canon pixma mp470 [23:59] syslq78, so i think it is not a problem in path, ok? [23:59] gabriel-bezerra, what is the error ? [23:59] khazil, i think turboprint is the only way to go for that printer [23:59] skellington: what are you booting? My netbook boots in a few seconds with UNR [23:59] hey, i'm trying to boot 9.04 toram. when I'm loading from my 2gb usb flash drive I have options to: run ubuntu persistently, install, boot from first hard drive, and get help. when i press tab on boot persistently i get what i think are some options, but when i append 'toram' it doesn't seem to do anything. what am i doing wrong? [23:59] how can i open a program through terminal without it being dependent on the terminal staying open??? [23:59] any suggestions as to why the flash plugin isnt workign in opera? [23:59] syslq78, it is quite big [23:59] paste me on private [23:59] fwaokda: screen is your friend. [23:59] fwaokda: add a "&" after the command === punyhumanright is now known as karma
