[00:00] snarkster: Maybe? [00:00] mr_steve: Huh, I was just there 5 min ago System>Preferences>Startup Applicions... but now the "Startup Applications is no longer there??? [00:00] podginater: the egg. [00:00] What software can I use to import a CSV file and produce a gradient coutour surface chart? [00:00] akufen - just tried apt-get -f install and still didnt work - same error [00:00] ok thanks [00:00] Kingsy101: nick me when back [00:00] monkey_d_luffy: Maybe octave? [00:00] delly, can i install windows vista in wine? [00:00] podginater: Unless its a analogy [00:00] ahoi [00:00] Alvinware: you don't install windows itself in wine [00:00] ive setup samba on 9.04 and created a share. I goto to network in nautilus and get an error "Failed to retrieve share list" but there are shares on other machines as well.. [00:00] Alvinware: you can install Windows software in wine and hope it works :P [00:00] shouldnt i be able to see my own shares? [00:01] !virtualisation | Alvinware [00:01] Alvinware: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [00:01] Snarkster Do you have a firewall installed? [00:01] Alvinware: That includes viruses [00:01] nope [00:01] How can I start an application from the command line in GNOME so that it starts minimized? wmctrl can not do it. [00:01] Alvinware: wine is used to run windows programs, not the OS itself. You can get vmware server for free though taht will run windows [00:01] Alvinware: no, wine is a compability layer for applications, not for windows itself, you'd need a virtual amchine for that... [00:01] in kde is does suggest that maybe a firewall is setup [00:01] guestadmin: well that's truly weird then [00:01] mr_steve this is weird..... you helped me accidentally discover another weird problem...sigh ;) lol [00:01] DasEi - hmm am I being stupid here, how do I get into a terminal without booting into ubuntu ? [00:02] if so, you should probably enable the ports for samba - 137-139, 445 [00:02] unless 9.04 comes with a firewall already configured. [00:02] Alvinware: better use virtualbox, as you can do images from OS'es free, vmware only has a trial on generating, though player is free [00:02] guestadmin: I've never run in to that before, although I have lost all the menus before [00:02] i think its my freaking router. [00:02] stupide motorola pos [00:02] Kingsy101: why won't you boot ? [00:03] mr_steve:always a new adventure I guess, Im currently checking the boards for some history ;) [00:03] Kingsy101: Start another linux distro? When you have a terminal form an ubuntu install, you are per definition running ubuntu ;) [00:03] delly, Unix/Linux can't be hacked? [00:03] Anyone got any experience with downgrading from Ext4 to Ext3? [00:03] Kingsy101: ah now I get you, keyboard isn't working; have you got al live cd ? [00:03] I am trying recovery mode now [00:04] Alvinware: it can like anything else. Its just harder when the OS is not full of blatant known holes [00:04] DasEi - ok I am in grun [00:04] Alvinware: And a proper security structure is in place [00:04] grub [00:04] small question here: im on 9.04 with ext3. when 9.10 comes out and i upgrade, will it automatically make me ext4? [00:04] someone has installed ubuntu in his Mac ? [00:04] do I need to go into a root prompt ? or fix xserver? or what? [00:04] if i want to install Compiz it is just to run "sudo aptitude install compiz" right? [00:04] Kingsy101: try root prompt [00:04] ok [00:05] DasEi - ok I am there [00:05] gareim: no, you'd have to do that manually, and it is not complete even then I've heard. [00:05] delly, so does that mean when i chat with a hacker, he may successfully hacked in my system? [00:05] sketchyd_ it seems you need to try it multiple times, and there's another solution further down the page [00:05] gareim: Nope <.< [00:05] gareim : you can turn ext3 to ext4 any time, but from that on only futuure data will be written in ext4, works also on 9.04 [00:06] arand: thanks for the response. ill do it manually when 9.10 comes out then... i been hearing theres stuff wrong with it right now [00:06] thanks for the replies guys [00:06] Kingsy101: does keyboard work ? [00:06] DasEi - yep [00:06] Alvinware: Only if he knows how, just like about anything else. How hard it is for a pro hacker to get is, thats easy for the hacker since we are talking a pro. BUT the OS itself is harder to hack the Windows, and thats a bloody good point to have in the back of your head. [00:06] gareim: so 9.10 seems to be very much a "fresh install" release, what with grub2 ext4 and all... [00:06] sketchyd_: command is actually sudo apt-get -f install [00:06] DasEi - can I pm you it would be easier ? [00:06] Kingsy101: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg_backup [00:07] can someone give me the default startup applications in a vanilla ubuntu gnome installation? cause i managed to delete them all [00:07] akufen - yeah, thats what im doing [00:07] Kingsy101: no need, short way [00:07] Kingsy101: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [00:07] Anyone know how to restore a missing "Startup Applications" tab from my System>Preferences Tab, It just disappeared...sigh ;) [00:07] DasEi - its just I am not really sure about making a backup of that file, I edited that for a reason you see [00:07] Kingsy101: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg_backup [00:07] gareim: Yea, I've heard there are pretty rough changes atm, I'm running it on one coputer but I haven't pushed in the latest big changes yet... [00:08] sketchyd_ you're root right? or using sudo? [00:08] DasEi - ok 1 sec [00:08] arand: wait, so does that mean that if I want some of the benefits of 9.10 (faster boot time), i might as well do a fresh install? [00:08] delly, ext4 is stable, not beta? [00:08] yeah, using sudo [00:08] akufen - ive tried running it a few times, and no dice [00:08] sketchyd_: you on jaunty? what were you installing when it broke? [00:08] why doesnt nautilus restart itself after ive killed it? [00:08] guestadmin: thinking about it, it just occurred to me you can try right clicking on the menu and choosing "Edit Menus" [00:08] i still see no desktop [00:09] mysql [00:09] Alvinware: it is quite stable, but not debian stable stable. There are random files going missing once in a while, so its stable as in 0.8 :P [00:09] sketchyd_: you on jaunty? [00:09] gareim: It is probably fully possible to do the upgrade and conversion ext3-ext4 etc. but it seems like there will be a good deal of manaul work involed if you'd want all the benefits... [00:09] im on jaunty, trying to re-install mysql [00:09] triiiiiiplee mooooonsteeeer kills! [00:09] guestadmin: that should give you a list of enabled and disabled menu items. If Startup Applications doesn't show up in that list, however, I'm at a loss [00:09] Alvinware: i am considering downgrading my root FS in case something randomly disturbing needed files go missing <.< [00:09] mr_steve, ok giving it a try [00:10] after doing sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart i got Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key so how do i generate those system wide keys? [00:10] arand: i think i'll manually upgrade then... mainly because i lost my flash drive so i cant make a live usb. =p === arquebus is now known as shintaro [00:10] can someone give me the default startup applications in a vanilla ubuntu gnome installation? cause i managed to delete them all [00:10] delly, ext4 for debian is stable, but not for ubuntu? [00:11] i think i got blindsided. I just purchased a VPSLink account then i saw http://corenetworks.net/dedicated/discount/ [00:11] hey, why is it that on windows, open office could do .docx files, but not i dont see an option on ubuntu?? [00:11] Alvinware: Ext4 is close to stable but not stable. Debian is the distro that is the definition of stable, going by word. [00:12] DasEi - ok thats done.. is there a command to re-start ? I guess thats the next step ? [00:12] Alvinware: with the sole catch of Sidux existsing(debian unstable), which is a testing distro for people bleeding for bleeding edge :P [00:12] hello, is it normal for apt-get to return the progress of downloads like Kilobytes of Megabytes completed? [00:12] http://jared555.com/screenshot/snapshot1.png [00:12] Kingsy101: you ran both commands ? [00:12] DasEi - yup [00:12] mr_Steve: would "Sessions" be the same thing? [00:12] Hello. [00:12] actually, bytes of kilobytes/megabytes [00:12] Kingsy101: so if you want the old back, just change files name; reboot (in cmd-line) [00:12] my yahoo account won connect in pidgin !! [00:12] debian is always outdated [00:12] both of them [00:13] DasEi - huh ? what do you mean ? [00:13] Hi, can I remove these URL's from my sources.list ? Are those URL's gone for good? http://paste.ubuntu.com/225200/ [00:13] guestadmin: just so we're on the same page, which version of ubuntu are you using? [00:13] DasEi - if I change them back wont the problem come back ? === toxic is now known as extracted [00:13] mr_steve: ws just thinking that, 8.04 LTS [00:13] Kingsy101: so if you want the old xorg.conf back, just change files name ; reboot (in cmd-line), was just mentioned for case things get worse [00:13] YaManicKill: http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/2531/screenshotstartupapplic.png http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/2531/screenshotstartupapplic.png that'll do? [00:13] delly, why some times, ubuntu got routine check, when i boot up my pc? [00:13] pls help .... yahoo acoount and pidgin is not working any more [00:14] any info`s here ?? [00:14] DasEi - yea but if I change the file names back wont the problem come back ? the mouse and keyboard wont work ? [00:14] I made an ext3 partition and i want to copy files from my current ext3 partition. [00:14] arand: perfect, thanks :) [00:14] guestadmin: okay, in the version of Gnome 8.04 uses, I believe startup apps are configured in the sessions control panel [00:14] :( [00:14] guestadmin: but since I don't have that version handy, I can't give you many more details :( [00:14] hello guys [00:15] Kingsy101: as they are both not mentioned in xorg, it'll be something else; I wonder why you use framebuffer, but just restart [00:15] mr_steve thats probably the issue, I might have been in "sessions" under the tab "startup programs" [00:15] gyachi didnt work 2 [00:15] is there any msn client that fully support group messaging and multi location login? [00:15] !uxa [00:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about uxa [00:15] Hi, can I remove these URL's from my sources.list ? Are those URL's gone for good? http://paste.ubuntu.com/225200/ [00:15] but it says that a i don 't have permission to write into it. [00:15] *-a [00:15] . [00:15] Anyone know to give permission to it? [00:15] Xchatchatdf_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:15] I'm trying to install Ubuntu from the CD I downloaded and burned. I get a command line screen with "/bin/sh: Can't access tty; Job control turned off" [00:15] I am not Root. [00:15] how can i wipe my mysql install [00:15] *how. [00:15] Why is my JFS raid5 always entering read only mode? Im getting errors in dmesg but i dont know what is causing it. Ive run samsung diagnostic tools on all the harddrives and smarmontools, they all pass. Tested ram with memtest, passed. Heres log: http://pastebin.com/m2f62fbf0 [00:16] DasEi - just re-started it still doesnt work [00:16] DasEi - the keyboard and mouse are still not working I mean [00:16] sketchyd_, have you try sudo apt-get remove mysql [00:16] !sudo | Xchatchatdf_ [00:16] Xchatchatdf_: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [00:16] Anyone know why after I set my fan1_output in /sys to a higher value, it returns to where it was after a second? [00:16] Kingsy101: back to rootprompt [00:16] Alvinware: Thats to check the file system quite simple to check for random errors(which are rare), it can be disabled but its just there for random reasons. Its quite usefull when its needed, or if fragmentation is starting [00:16] How can I get this thing to actually install?! I know the CD works with the same drive on another computer. [00:16] mr_steve, seems fine now, I guess it was versio difference, than God that was all, but now Im also prepared for an upgrade. A very educational day on XChat for me indeed. thx [00:16] bugfly - yeah - it throws an error when it tries to stop the server [00:16] Hi, can I remove these URL's from my sources.list ? Are those URL's gone for good? http://paste.ubuntu.com/225200/ [00:16] guestadmin: glad I could help [00:17] DasEi - ok.. [00:17] DasEi - I am there, what now.. ? [00:17] Kingsy101: apt-get install pastebinit [00:17] after doing sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart i got Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key so how do i generate those system wide keys? [00:17] Kingsy101: pastebinit /var/log/syslog [00:18] pastebinit didnt install [00:18] Alvinware: so its like condoms, its just nice have it there fixing random errors in case they ever appere or is just minor. [00:18] Anyone know? [00:18] I'm on a macbook pro 5 btw [00:18] delly, so, ext3 got fragmentation too, hot to fix it? [00:18] delly, i mean how? [00:18] Datz: yes - you can remove them fine, they are just the backport entries. Also gutsy is no longer supported as of april so you might want to consider upgrading to 8.10 (hardy) [00:19] Grizmawe: Ok thanks. :) [00:19] vr_mex: the keys are usually autogenerated when you do a successfull sshd (Note the d at the end of sshd) install. Did that not happen? [00:19] Alvinware: linux drives don't suffer from fragmentation [00:19] Excuse me for being a bit of a linux noob. [00:19] Kingsy101:is that jaunty / 9.04 ? [00:19] DasEi - oh I think I have it 1 sec [00:20] losher: when i did the sudo: /etc/init.d/sshd restart i got a command not found [00:20] Alvinware: It barely happens, unless your running a server with several gigs of data going trough raid disk every day, its not going to appere. And the fragmentation is still minor. [00:20] th0r, linux drive never ever fragment? [00:20] Ah. Apparently I had to set fan1_manual to 1. Any reason why the fans wouldn't kick in automatically even though my laptop was getting hot? [00:20] DasEi - naw I cant get pastebinit installed [00:20] Alvinware: nope....the way linux records info fragmentation isn't a problem. [00:20] crash2108_: noobs are welcome here. Usually you just put the CD in & it boots. So I dunno. Check the md5sum on the cd? [00:21] Kingsy101:ping googlecom < For some reason my PC has started shutting down on boot. I started it in recovery and it seems that it is trying to fsck and then shuts down. I did remove a drive before, but it booted fine after that. Any ideas? [00:21] Alvinware: there is no 'defrag' in linux [00:21] Hi! [00:21] Good… [00:21] Kingsy101 ping googlecom < th0r, Alvinware: it does have fragment, but it does not suffer from it in contrast to Windows XP where it slowly earts your system alive [00:21] vr_mex: then you don't have sshd installed. Do you understand the difference between ssh and sshd? Let me know if not... [00:21] th0r no defrag on linux. [00:21] Alvinware: they do, but not to any great extent, normally "normal users" do not need to care about it. [00:21] th0r but why. [00:21] DasEi: "ping google.com" [00:21] vr_mex: try doing a "sudo dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server [00:21] th0r It might be useful. [00:21] DasEi - it says unknown host [00:21] DasEi: Without quotes [00:21] th0r, Almtesh: Ext4 got defrag [00:21] losher, I booted the CD up in the same CD drive just connected to a different computer. The drive and CD are good. I don't know what's up. I guess it can't handle a fresh computer. [00:22] Almtesh: what do you mean why...the use a different way of organizing info on the drive, so there is no defrag [00:22] losher: i do have sshd installed i do which sshd and get /usr/sbin/sshd [00:22] sorry, then Kingsy101: "ping google.com" without quotes, try www.google.com too [00:22] !defrag [00:22] The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [00:22] Kingsy101 : /etc/init.d/networking restart [00:22] thanks arand [00:22] Ah, you're speaking about ext4 delly th0r ? [00:22] Almtesh: ext3 and ext4....same game [00:22] Of course! [00:23] vr_mex: If I were you, I would reinstall it, as it seems like something went wrong with your install.... [00:23] DasEi - done but the ping still doesnt work [00:23] Almtesh, th0r: Ext3 got no defrag tools, Ext4 got one. Ext4 also got some upgrades over Ext3, but its not entirely stable. [00:23] delly: "Not entirely stable"? Says who? [00:23] should i (can i even?) run clam av across the whole filesystem? or is it enough to do my home folder? [00:23] losher: how do i reinstall do i uninstall via synaptic and the re install ? [00:23] crash2108_: it's not unheard of. Some hardware can't boot & run Ubuntu. It's rare though. Try googling your make & model number & see if other people report an incompatibility.... [00:24] piroko: as in "server buisniss" where 1 lost file is a nightmare of doomsday :P [00:24] Kingsy101 : ifconfig < delly: That's fine, but you still didn't say what makes you think it isn't stable :/ [00:24] vr_mex: yes, that would work fine. Keep an eye out for messages about generating keys when you do the reinstall... [00:24] Grizmawe: I have my updater set to only update when a long term release is ready. Can I update to a longterm release yet? [00:25] DasEi - I don't really know what we are doing now, we are a little off the point [00:25] losher: ok thanks let me try it out [00:25] piroko: its more like nitpicking non-stable. Its more than stable enough for a normal user, but there is some minor issue that still could remain :P So basicaly its stable from a regular point of view [00:25] Kingsy101 : I try to get it to network to gather more information; it's little weird, you got keyb. working on cmdline, but not on xserver [00:26] Datz: then you should already be running 7.10 - Hardy Herron was the last LTS release. do the rest of the source lines refer to gutsy too or are they hardy? [00:26] gareim: the home folder is enough, i highly doubt you put files anywhere else. [00:26] vr_mex: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2007-July/119928.html [00:26] delly: thanks man. just making sure. [00:26] Grizmawe: I am running 8.04 [00:26] delly, if i install wine, windows virus may be able to infect my pc, and cause problems? [00:26] DasEi - I am starting to get really annoyed with it, all I wanted to do was get the resolution a little higher and ALL of this is happening [00:26] is there any way to fix so links in pidgin opens in firefox 3.5 and not the old version of firefox? [00:27] the cdrom isnt even ejecting on it... [00:27] Alvinware: viruses could only infect the wine install, they wouldn't get into the linux os itself [00:27] why is hyperz making my card decrease perfomance instead of boosting ? i got a radeon 7000 [00:27] delly: I meant, give me your source for this info [00:27] losher I hear I should put a floppy drive in for the install. There's no workaround for that? [00:27] piroko: good question [00:28] Alvinware: that said, I've never seen a report of wine being infected. I think because wine users don't surf from inside wine as a rule... [00:28] Kingsy101 : then just delete content of the actual xorg.conf and restart with blank one [00:28] Grizmawe: I guess those URL's should have been removed when I updated to 8.04 from 7.10 [00:28] Datz: sorry -my bad, 8.04 is the LTS release. In that case the gutsy lines you pasted must be leftovers. Can be safely removed. Make a backup of your sources file if you wish first [00:28] crash2108_: I've never heard of that. You got that from google? [00:28] Kingsy101 : nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:28] th0r, so, it wouldn't cause any problem at all? [00:28] Googled and forum threads come up. [00:28] hi, looking for a good program that could erase temporary internet files, cookies and things who slows down the computer, used CG-Cleaner for windows XP but what free program do you folks recommend for ubuntu :O [00:28] how many rpm's do you advise me for an iMac in ubuntu ? :P [00:29] Alvinware: only if you run the viruses. Aka running browser from wine, then doing all apps there, etc. And still you could remove the viruses acces from everything outside the wine folder in case you got a strike of paranoia :P [00:29] piroko: Mainly a few sysadmin i have been talking to, its just nitpicking anyway...... [00:29] Grizmawe: Ok, thanks. Now if I could only find those URL's in sources.list [00:29] Alvinware: the worst case it would infect the wine install, you would have to reinstall wine. But as losher said...if you use wine you still do your web browsing in linux so windows viruses aaren't a problem [00:29] Grizmawe: I would like to have a passphrase bu in the link you posted says: Do not encrypt the private [00:29] key with a passphrase -- just hit at the passphrase prompt. why? [00:29] th0r: actually, since wine has write and read access to your whole home directory (and all other dirs you have rw to) quite nasty things _can_ happen, I've heard about one that dumped .EXE files all over these directories... not directly harmful but annoying and a bugger to clean up afterwards. [00:30] hi, looking for a good program that could erase temporary internet files, cookies and things who slows down the computer, used CG-Cleaner for windows XP but what free program do you folks recommend for ubuntu :O [00:30] arand: yeah....it would be a mess, but it wouldn't do any permanent damage [00:30] is there any way to fix so links in pidgin opens in firefox 3.5 and not the old version of firefox? [00:30] crash2108_: Normally you don't need a floppy. If the PTB say you need one for your particular hardware as a workaround for a bug, then who am I to say different? [00:31] pik}: maybe try to make 3.5 your default? [00:31] th0r: Unless you consider completely thrashing your login with all your configurations "permanent" no. [00:31] delly: So in other words you have nothing but the ramblings of someone who probably doesn't even code ;) [00:31] pik}: you can set it in buudylist >tools > preferences [00:32] Hardy is still under LTS, right? [00:32] Davey_: yes [00:32] delly, clamav got both the linux, and windows viruses databases? [00:32] arand: it is highly doubtful it could do all that...it would have to be smart enough to address drive Z and then navigate to your home directory [00:32] I don't know what a PTB is, losher... I'm still getting "/bin/sh: Can’t access tty; job control turned off" despite all these workarounds. [00:32] !LTS | Davey_ [00:32] Davey_: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be 10.04 [00:32] Can system wide rsa and dsa keys be generated to use a passphrase? if not why? [00:32] vr_mex: the *host* key just identifies the server. It's a safety feature to alert you in case someone replaces the server with a counterfeit machine. It's different to the *session* keys you use to login. You don't want a passphrase for the host key. [00:33] hey all. apparently i have a "unknown chipset". can anyone help me make it.. "known"? [00:33] i have problem with Display Could not apply the selected configuration - Method "ApplyConfiguration" with signature "" on interface "org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.XRANDR" doesn't exist, Please Help [00:33] http://pastebin.com/m754b10db <-- having this problem with upgrading :/ [00:33] (with Hardy) [00:33] arand: unless it was a programming work of art any damage would be limited to ~/.wine/drive_c and folders beneath it. [00:33] ok I have a really weird issue here, my ubuntu PC is having some really weird problems, the cd-rom light is staying on along with the HD light .. it boots up fine but the resolution is wrong and the mouse and keyboard don't work outside of grub [00:33] anyone got an idea ? [00:33] DasEi: oh sorry embarrassing, missed that in settings ;) [00:33] crash2108_: PTB == powers that be i.e. people who know more about this than you or I. I'm sorry, but it sounds like you have a hardware problem which I can't solve for you... [00:33] th0r: well undoubtedly they already do: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=72598 [00:33] losher: Aaahhhh so that is why!!! :-) [00:34] pik}: np [00:34] vr_mex: the beginnings of wisdom, grasshopper :-) [00:34] th0r: I guess since wine willingly shows it all those drives it just writes to everything it can get it's hands on, not that hard. [00:34] DasEi - you got any other ideas about fixing this mouse and keyboard fault ? [00:34] losher: so then i do not need to regenerate them just leave them there alone... :-))) [00:35] I want to filter the feeds in PlanetPlanet. Anyone knows how to filter out content in PlanetPlanet feed aggregator? [00:35] !help [00:35] 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. :-) [00:35] Kingsy101: take a look at /var/log/syslog and kernel.log, without further info it's like a crystall ball [00:35] losher: since i moved them can you please give me the permissions they should have so that i place them back again correctly [00:35] arand: and all of that started when he ran some viruses he had collected using wine....god don't help dumb [00:36] !help i have problem with Display Could not apply the selected configuration - Method "ApplyConfiguration" with signature "" on interface "org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.XRANDR" doesn't exist, Please Help [00:36] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:36] DasEi - ok 1 sec [00:36] Kingsy101:also your setting using framebuffer often causes trouble, jaunty's xorg is empty by default [00:36] Hello everybody! [00:36] DasEi - so perhaps reconfigure without framebuffer ? [00:36] vr_mex: the host key is usually generated *once* when you install sshd. After that, you generally don't want it to change because if it changes, ssh will worry that it means the machine changed. It's just a security feature. Session keys for logging in are dealt with separately. [00:37] so with wine, i can get windows viruses/trojans, and pass it to other persons windows system, when sharing files with them, good, lol. [00:37] Kingsy101:yes, just for the res only need the "modes = ... " line [00:37] * Dekko is wondering if THIS is a BUG: I have a Geforce 9600GT graphicscard running the latest Nvidia drivers from nvidia. Having two monitors setup as separate X servers... all works NICELY except switching to a text console. That blacks out both monitors. If I use Twinview (stretch) it works. [00:37] Alvinware: most of us don't consider the ability to pass on a virus as a good thing :-) [00:37] th0r: Well, it was for an experimental reason. However, it does not lessen the fact that wine and viruses may be considerably harmful. [00:37] losher: since i moved them can you please give me the permissions they should have so that i place them back again correctly [00:37] DasEi - I will just try and get the keyboard and mouse back first.. [00:38] arand: looks like I will have to concede that one === soreau is now known as soreau_ === soreau_ is now known as soreau [00:38] Did anyone else just upgrade firefox 3.0 and is now getting "Assertion Failed - ASSERT: *** Search: _installLocation: engine has no file!" ? [00:39] arand: would be interested in knowing how those got into /usr without the root password. The files he found in ~/.local/share/applications don't surprise me...that is where wine puts the .desktop files for installed software [00:39] Is there a way to mount my slave drive so that I can use unetbootin on it. Also i'm using a wubi install of xubuntu on a win98 comp [00:39] vr_mex: my host keys are in /etc/ssh and have permissions rw for root for the private part, and rw-r-r for the public part. Does this make sense? [00:39] losher, but that's all the servers running in unix/linux do every days by passing those nasty things to windows client, and got them infected, because they don't stop it. [00:39] th0r: what I think is that wine needs restrictive sandboxing, tightly confined to ~/wine/c_drive/ [00:39] dose someone notice me ? [00:40] arand: agreed...I thought that was the default install [00:40] i just need help ... please [00:40] losher: shure thank you very much ! :-) [00:40] Hello all, [00:40] My problem is sound for the internet. The sound is coming from my USB card. I broke the sound card 6 months ago. My windows XP is working fine(audio and video). I d/l'ed adobe flash 10 and java. No success.

[00:41] !help i have problem with Display Could not apply the selected configuration - Method "ApplyConfiguration" with signature "" on interface "org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.XRANDR" doesn't exist, Please Help [00:41] th0r: it is not, it has full rw to everything the user has through the Z: device, which is kinda scary... [00:41] arand: I agree. I'm surprised more people don't do that.. [00:41] I got a display problem [00:41] arand: that is....I wasn't aware of that. Will have to look into limiting that 'feature' [00:41] losher: can you help on display problem ? [00:42] DasEi - ok well not using framebuffer didnt change anything [00:42] sharif: sorry, I know nothing about gnome.... :-( [00:42] DasEi - what should I look for in syslog ? [00:42] th0r: losher: and it is not a simple procedure either >_< [00:42] losher, got winlux? [00:42] Kingsy101:error ?! [00:42] heh ok 1 sec [00:42] losher, winlux/winux? [00:43] how can i see if cronjob fail's its tasks? === snypzz is now known as aspire1 [00:43] Alvinware: googling it now... [00:43] losher: what i should do then .. Ubuntu is gnome [00:43] sharif: try asking in #gnome. Try googling the error message. Don't give up without a fight... [00:43] !help My problem is sound for the internet. The sound is coming from my USB card. I broke the sound card 6 months ago. My windows XP is working fine(audio and video). I d/l'ed adobe flash 10 and java. No success. The video is good, but the audio is off for my browser. Any thoughts or ideas? [00:43] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:44] DasEi - I don't know where to start there are thousands of lines here [00:44] losher, gnome is a x windows server? can i use kde in ubuntu, and switch between them? [00:45] Alvinware, no ... Gnome is a Desktop Environment :) [00:45] This is such bullshit [00:45] Alvinware, yes [00:45] DasEi - if I can pastie the logs do you think you will be able to help ? if so I will just use a live CD ? [00:45] arand: well...now you got me spooked. I could dump wine but I need dreamweaver [00:45] Alvinware, KDE is a Desktop Environment too ... and yes, you can switch between both freely :) [00:45] Is it a problem that my harddrive is unpartitioned (brand new), losher? [00:45] ibuclaw, How? [00:46] Alvinware: you can use either. And there are dozens more if you don't like those... [00:46] Kingsy101:could do, but what happens if you just start blank ? [00:46] how can I downgrade python? if it failed to install [00:46] DasEi - hmm I suppose I could but I have ALOT of stuff installed.. [00:46] Alvinware, logout ... and when you enter the Login Screen, you should see the Word 'Session' in the (bottom left?) hand corner. [00:46] what will happen to all of my files and programs ? [00:46] crash2108_: normally, as part of an install, the installer will walk you through partitioning the drive, so no. I repeat: I believe you have a hardware incompatibilty and there may not be a workaround.... [00:47] Kingsy101:I speak of blank xorg [00:47] is it possible to mount a slave drive for use with unetbootin? I am using a wubi install of xubuntu 8.10 on a win98 computer [00:47] Alvinware, select it and it will present a list of possible logins ... You only need to be concerned about KDE and Gnome options. [00:47] DasEi - oh that sounds cool but how do i do that ? [00:47] losher: OK thanks [00:47] th0r: well so far only people that have intentionally run viruses have been affected (afaik) so currently the problem might not be that big, and as long as you are selective with the apps that runs in wine I guess the safety might be satisfiable, it might become a considerable hole in the future though, if nothing is done... [00:47] Kingsy101 : nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf, delete every content (rootprompt) [00:47] I'm missing System -> Preferences -> Sessions could someone help me? [00:48] ibuclaw, so, i can't change it with-out log-in/log-out? [00:48] ok 1 sec [00:48] Alvinware, correct ... although you will be able to access the Gnome/KDE software in both DE's [00:49] is it possible to mount a slave drive for use with unetbootin? I am using a wubi install of xubuntu 8.10 on a win98 computer [00:49] DasEi - what happens here btw ? you delete the contents of that file and it should boot fine ? [00:49] What's the 'best' flash plugin for Firefox? I know there are three, and Adobe always seems a little laggy. [00:49] Recently, Evolution stopped getting new mail and I'm not sure why. Send/Receive is disabled. How do I figure it out? [00:49] arand: agreed. If kompozer didn't crash on tables I could dump dreamweaver, but until there is a decent wysiwyg html editor I will stick with wine [00:49] crash2108_: does windows run on your new hardware? [00:49] DasEi - i.e it makes a new default one ? [00:49] Alvinware, ie: you can run KTorrent in both KDE and Gnome. But the application may look slightly different when running from different DE's [00:49] Alvinware: winlux appears to be a news site. Was there something specific you wanted me to see there? [00:50] Kingsy101 :it's empty by default, so should boot fine [00:50] is there a way to do a batch rename ... like take filename1.mp3 and make it 1.mp3 [00:50] ktorrent is pretty killer [00:50] donavan_: man rename :) [00:50] th0r: don't we all ;) myself I keep windows installs for gaming. [00:50] donavan_: there is a rename command, but it's complex and not for beginners... [00:50] losher, no, i'm just thinking of combining linux, and windows into a new os. [00:51] Alvinware: good luck with that.... [00:51] hey there [00:51] Alvinware: How are you going to do that? [00:51] is it possible to mount a slave drive for use with unetbootin? I am using a wubi install of xubuntu 8.10 on a win98 computer [00:51] i installed apache2 and it starts on boot up but i dont want it to. how can i remove that from bootup? [00:51] alvinware: I was just wondering the same thing...how? [00:51] linux, and windows is written in c programming language? [00:51] He's probably a leet hax0r with the MS code [00:51] I don't know, I don't have a windows CD. I was considering just doing that because it's an HTPC and I just want to run boxee or something. [00:52] ummm hello? [00:52] DasEi - ok I emptied the file and I am booting now [00:52] 1 sec [00:52] donavan_, in your example: the answer would be: rename 's/^filename//' filename1.mp3 [00:52] is it possible to mount a slave drive for use with unetbootin? I am using a wubi install of xubuntu 8.10 on a win98 computer [00:52] donavan_, to cover a list of files: rename 's/^filename//' * [00:52] alvinware: ok, but they use different file systems, boot routines, there's the whole registry thing etc... [00:52] new: just ask a question... [00:52] Does anyone here recommend ebox? [00:53] Ummm excuse me? [00:53] is it possible to mount a slave drive for use with unetbootin? I am using a wubi install of xubuntu 8.10 on a win98 computer [00:53] DasEi - the mouse and keyboard still don't work [00:53] !info > gdesklets [00:53] wants you to know: Retrieve information on a package: !info [00:53] losher: why you think its gnome problem ?

[00:54] DasEi - any other ideas ? [00:54] sharif: it was a guess, based on the error message: "org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.XRANDR". Have you googled it yet? Maybe there's a known fix? [00:54] Pici and losher ... thanks I want even sure if there was a rename ... its been a while since I used the command line ... last time I renamed things with the command line I had to move the file to a new name rather than renaming it directly [00:54] No, brand new. [00:54] jdu no i have tried doing that and it doesn't detect anything [00:54] jurgs, does the bios report it? [00:54] Kingsy101 :so I have no further idea on that ,as it does on cmd-line, check your logs, are they usb or ps2 ? [00:54] mechtech, or just use the best one, ext3/4, for no fragmentation. [00:54] new: write down the errors, then type them into paste.ubuntu.com [00:54] Umummm can anyone help me? [00:54] DasEi - they are usb [00:55] how i would i substitude a command like ''wine'' to redirect to something else?> [00:55] ibuclaw ... thanks for the command just saved me some time ...

[00:55] donavan_, no probs ... just needs a small bit of regexp knowledge, that is all ;) [00:56] crash2108_: Then I would try a different OS, so you can (maybe) verify the hardware. Try PCBSD... [00:56] Alvinware: Your cause is valiant, but I think you're not really thinking this through. [00:56] jdu not sure I can chose to boot from hard drive but it only gives me one option, I have an intel i815 mobo [00:56] alvinware: why not just develop for linux? Why the interest in combining win and lin? [00:56] Its hard to copy errors from the boot menu [00:56] Kingsy101 :you might check for usbutils, and check the logs, as they were not mentioned in xorg, it#s gonna be usb [00:56] I'm not that computer saavy [00:56] jurgs, sometimes the bios or the jumpers may be configured in such a way that it won't tell linux it exists; does win98 see it?

I'm not that computer saavy [01:00] Firefox on ubuntu hardy heron 8.04.3 LTS x64 is unstable ... 3.0.11 and 3.5.1 does the same ...

[01:04] jdu, anything else? is there a file i can just edit to remove apache2 from starting? [01:04] my gnome network manager keep on showing "device is unmanaged" on the wired connection how do i fix it? [01:04] 8.04.3 LTS x64 > firefox 3.0.11 and 3.5.1 [01:04] ProfOak, Oh, Yeah, Prof., of-course i didn't think all the linux, and windows mix-up things deeply, that's why i didn't create it, and just wonder, cause game in windows more, linux for security, and got a lot of things in the middle, like more free softwares on both side, more free to configure, and so on...! [01:05] runemaximus: during installation of ubuntu options will be offerd for dual boot...choose the correct drive for installing ubuntu, then tell the installer to put the GRUB loader onto the same Master boot record with Vista...voila! [01:05] I want to purchase a pci wireless adapter card [01:05] linuxguy2009- or you could create a user account for your neice with very low permissions [01:05] Which is more like to work with minimum hassle: a dlink, linksys or netgear wireless-g pci adapter? [01:05] jdu: What is Xephyr? [01:05] jdu my cd drive is busted, is there a way to install on my master drive then? [01:05] lmiller: I have had great success with linksys cards [01:05] SuspectZero, yes, update-rc.2 is the correct way. but you can simply change the appropriate file name (w/ apache in it) of in /etc/rc.2/ ala the instructions in the directory [01:05] thanks mechtech tried to isntall osx86 previously and totaly messed things up... [01:05] Alvinware: You'd be wasting time trying to put them together. Eventually, you'd start from scratch, or give up. [01:06] runemaximus: Ouch! and no problem [01:06] linuxguy2009, an X server like X.org but you can run it in a window or full screen and could use it cover everything else up. [01:06] lmiller if you want something real good and don't mind a little hassle try usb alfa 500 mw it's dangerously hot when used well [01:06] hi is there a command line tool that tells me that there are new packages avabile without using sudo (eg what you can put in your motd) - like the notification apllet under gnome by default [01:06] oh cool [01:06] Spikemcc: the only obvious thing I see there is that x64 is known to be less stable than 32 bit. It would be a pain to downgrade. Try asking on #firefox? [01:06] thanks [01:06] my gnome network manager keep on showing "device is unmanaged" on the wired connection how do i fix it?

[01:12] jfaosdp: try /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature [01:12] i have a large 2nd hdd that i want to use JUST FOR STORAGE [01:12] Alvinware: an operator can ban you. Very easily... [01:12] jfaosdp: you could also install lm-sensors and check using the command "sensors" [01:12] is ext4 the best to format it in [01:13] losher: are you an operator? [01:13] losher: well, not sure still checking .. [01:13] Losher, i can change my ip, and username. [01:13] ForzaPalermo: it's not a good choice for a beginner. Stick to ext3 for another couple of releases.... [01:13] * losher is not an operator. [01:13] losher: may i ask why [01:13] Alvinware: evasion of bans results in longer, tougher bans [01:13] Alvinware: Don't make anyone dislike you, this is supposed to be a helpful chat [01:13] lstarnes: my lm-sensors are crazy ... look http://pastebin.com/m7932b7b2 . I cant find anything into /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/ [01:14] im using ext 4 for my main operating system [01:14] ForzaPalermo: my opinion is that it hasn't been tested enough yet... [01:14] and its working great === speck is now known as nuspeck [01:14] ForzaPalermo: that's fine. No need to change. It's just much easier to support users on ext3, because we know how it behaves... [01:14] Istarnes, how? even mac address can be change. [01:15] Alvinware: mac addresses are not relevant on the internet as a whole. Those are only relevant for local networks [01:15] you can change your mac on linux by command line [01:15] why are you guys arguing? [01:15] Alvinware: even if you change ip & username, if you come back talking about the same off-topic, we'll catch on. We're not *that* dumb... [01:16] Is there a way to force delete a folder(System Volume Information, and RECYCLER) - even rm -rf /media/drive/* does not remove it... [01:16] Spikemcc: why did * tell you to hit me earlier? [01:16] * Spikemcc hit mechtech cause windows is bad for brains [01:16] losher, of-course, uallnotdumpguys, lol, me too. :-D [01:16] lstarnes: why i have nothing into /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/ :S [01:17] spikemcc: oh...that makes sense then [01:17] jfaosdp: I don't know [01:17] ProfOak: i use adobe but same problem (and as a bonus, it sometimes simply stops working and i have to restart firefox [i'm on x86_64]) === Paraselene__ is now known as Paraselene_ [01:17] i didn't know there was any other option [01:17] Istarnes, How could i be banned for long? [01:17] koro: Have you tried any alternatives? [01:17] any one here set up a FTP server before? im having some trouble [01:17] mechtech I don't wanna be locked in anymore, linux is too open for me so I can do almost everything [01:18] mechtech, thanks for the help [01:18] Alvinware: operators can recognize behavioral patterns === they is now known as vorian [01:18] ProfOak: i'm not sure what would those be? [01:18] can anyone here help me with a debian broken packages problem? [01:18] nerdy_kid: Try vsftpd [01:18] Istarnes, then change behaviour. [01:18] booksbuggy: with what? remind me please [01:18] i remember using something else way back, but it didn't work at all [01:18] lol. [01:18] Spikemcc: I aspire to that level...still just a noob [01:18] Alvinware: it's impossible to completely avoid being detected when evading bans [01:18] mechtech, the gnome network manager problem [01:18] ProfOak: (some time ago there wasn't even an adobe version for 64-bit) [01:19] booksbuggy: all better then? [01:19] koro: Let me find some names. I distinctly remember having an option of 3 packages for installing flash. [01:19] mechtech, yes [01:19] This chat room wasn't helpful, firefox 3.5 is beta, a lot of say it's not, and mix. [01:19] booksbuggy: great...glad I could help [01:19] Ok I rebooted and went to the Bios Bootup area but I couldn't find the Floppy Drive.... [01:19] ProfOak: but the alternative i had found in the ubuntu guides didn't work at all [01:19] that was a few years ago tho === jon is now known as Guest62600 [01:19] Where is the Floppy Bootup? [01:19] Hi [01:19] Alvinware: firefox 3.5 has been released [01:19] Alvinware: the ban doesn't last for long. Just long enough to discourage bad behavior [01:19] rootlinuxuser something messed up with the ports i think, someone here helped me for like an hour yesterday and still couldnt figure it out; need a pro lol [01:19] can you putt windeos midea player on ubuntu linux [01:19] Istarnes, look it in add/remove by yourself. [01:19] Guest62600: no [01:19] Guest62600 no [01:20] Is it possible to include already activated luks and lvms in the ubuntu installation process? [01:20] Guest62600: yes in Wine [01:20] !ff35 | Alvinware [01:20] Alvinware: Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 and firefox-3.5-gnome-support | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko on your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY [01:20] mechtech learn to install ubuntu with the minimal cd in the command line, and use applications in the command line the more you can ... [01:20] how [01:20] Guest30590, there are alternatives though [01:20] rootlinuxusr - ahh, then Im no root. =/ xD [01:20] Guest62600: and there are better alternatives [01:20] Ummm....can anyone help me? [01:20] i have tryd wine [01:20] sebsebseb: then you would be running it on windows, not on ubuntu :) [01:20] oh, wine, nevermind me [01:20] apocapus: #1 try to use the same login everytime...that way we can hopefully reflect on what the issue was and also so you can build a reputation...#2 that may have been because you disabled the floppy drt...are you still having trouble?ive...more to the poin [01:20] koro: I've found names. Swfdec SWF, Adobe Flash, Gnash SWF. [01:20] was thinking virtualization [01:21] ProfOak: i guess i'll try those [01:21] Istarnes, the name is not firefox? [01:21] 'cos i'm tired of adobe [01:21] if with that you don't have learned a lot there is a problem ... [01:21] No...I get logical block messages [01:21] Apocapus: Just ask a question, and someone may have an answer [01:21] ProfOak: have you tryed swfdec or gnash? [01:21] koro: No, that's why I came in here. Different opinions and whatnot. [01:21] Uh, I have a bit of a problem [01:21] So I was told to go reboot the system and look at the bios [01:21] Alvinware: shiretoko is the codename for firefox 3.5 without the official branding [01:21] well because i seems to not realy be truly abil to play and look at tv shows on outher websites [01:21] istarnes, and it got bug in it. [01:21] but I didn't find the Floppy drive [01:22] Alvinware: then report the bug [01:22] So...I don't know if I went to the wrong area or if it's another problem [01:22] My monitor after about an hour or so of use shuts off (Green light goes yellow) and I have to do a hard reset [01:22] Istarnes, other did, but still no fix. [01:22] Apocapus: What were you trying to fix initially? [01:22] Apocapus: normally floppy drive is called 3.5 in disk in the boot option [01:22] well in the bio [01:22] Im trying to install ubuntu [01:22] Istarnes, go bad, god, and bad, switch. [01:22] profoak: he was installing ubuntu [01:22] Alvinware: how long ago was the bug filed? what was the bug? [01:22] 3.5? [01:22] My mistake... [01:22] Any fixes for this problem? [01:23] Where in the Boot Menu? [01:23] PROject-Emerald, what happens if you hit ctrl+alt+f1 when that happens? [01:23] Apocapus: well should be the first one [01:23] istarnes, youtube fullscreen. [01:23] cant list directory structure in FTP server when accessed via external IP. [01:23] well on my old computer it is [01:23] Nothing works when it happens, the display goes away like the monitor is powered off. [01:23] boot menu or Bios? [01:23] Apocapus: on the first tab bios [01:23] Istarnes, add/remove stated beta. [01:23] All sound goes away, etc [01:23] koro: Good news, I think you can install all of them and chose which you want to use on the fly. [01:23] 3.5 in the first tab? [01:23] Alvinware: what about Synaptic? [01:24] In Windows XP? [01:24] Istarnes, ttry it urself, man. [01:24] Apocapus: well if the newer computer didn't change the name already [01:24] Alvinware: also, which version of ubuntu are you using? [01:24] nerdy_kid: firewall? -> passive mode (command PASV or passive in cli-client) might help [01:24] istarnes, 9.04. [01:24] revlo tryed those [01:24] I'll go look for 3.5 [01:24] I'll try === pizdets is now known as pizzledizzle [01:24] Apocapus: on the removable device part i think [01:24] Alvinware: I'm still using 8.04 so I can't try for myself === billy is now known as smartasstronaut_ [01:24] Istarnes, problem with 9.04? [01:24] revlo spent hour yesterday with somebody in here: still stuck [01:24] sooo using esata meaning putting a line in fstab, yes? [01:24] Alvinware: check what it says in synaptic [01:25] Istarnes, codename, longhorn, come out vista. [01:25] nerdy_kid: and a firewall? ftp data (ls and stuff) uses a lot of ports - you may check it with netstat -ntaup or something - or check your firewalllogs [01:25] hello I'm having some issue to install vlc vlc: Depends: vlc-nox (= 1.0.0-1~ppa3) not going to be installed [01:25] nerdy_kid: permissions problems?

[01:26] revlo tryed forwarding all ports just for the heck of it, still didnt work [01:26] i am doen adobe flash player but it is not working [01:27] im having a random problem where compiz seems to crash when switching between workspaces using effects... the everything disapears accept the the desktop wall paper applications are still working however as I can hear music in my speakers thoughts? [01:27] have doen [01:27] Istarnes, maybe it's finial for windows, but not linux/ubuntu,i guess, cause bugs, and name. [01:27] except not accept ;) [01:27] nobody? -_- [01:27] Alvinware: could you please tell me what version of firefox-3.5 is in synaptic? [01:27] HELLO ANYBODY [01:27] nellmatthew try launching it from terminal, it should say why its crashing [01:28] vlc: Depende: vlc-nox (= 1.0.0-1~ppa3) pero no va a instalarse [01:28] E: Paquetes rotos [01:28] while trying to install vlc, any clue, I googled but nothing happened [01:28] Istarnes, 3.5.1 [01:28] Istarnes, newess.

[01:30] does anyone here have any experience with the DELL UBUNTU release? [01:30] d0wn3r: not personally, but quite a lot of other people have had good experiences [01:30] Istarnes, why not just upgrade, why make it one os, got 2 firefox? [01:30] oh hey sebsebseb [01:30] does anyone know how to make conky show cpu temperature in Fahrenheit? === Guest62600 is now known as jon [01:31] Alvinware: ubuntu has a different update policy [01:31] Alvinware: ubuntu 9.04 came with firefox 3.0 so it will stay with firefox 3.0 as the main firefox === jon is now known as Guest99679 [01:31] Alvinware: but 9.10, the next release, which isn't out yet, will likely ship with 3.5 [01:31] Can anyone recommend a single use (a la dd) partition backup front-end with ssh build in? [01:31] *built [01:32] ia m running ubuntu and just installed WINE, ia m trying to run teamviewer (a window app), it takes forever to load but i did get it to randomly show up at one point, what gives? [01:32] Seven_Six_Two: rsync will run over ssh and can be used to backup an arbitrary set of files... [01:32] istarnes, oh yeah just fixed it. [01:32] can I use firefox addons in epiphany? Stupid question I know, but sometimes one can actually do those type of things [01:32] Seven_Six_Two: come to think of it, you can run dd over ssh too if needed... [01:32] fission61: #winehq would be the best place to ask wine questions. Also, have you seen the appdb? [01:32] in 9.04, is esata supposed to "just work" ? [01:32] !appdb | fission61 [01:32] fission61: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [01:32] Istarnes, no change to the default. [01:32] losher, will rsync image the partition? I'm not looking for cli right now [01:33] losher, I'm looking for a frontend for a friend to use on his laptop. [01:33] Istarnes, anyways, got bugs, i'm not using it, the old is good. [01:33] see y'all...about to win 7 my face off [01:33] hey all, I've got a slight issue with firefox- some (seemingly most) fonts in Firefox don't display. information that's printed when I run Firefox from the terminal (http://pastie.org/private/jgfrhoj125aro4woq0zqag) leads me to believe that it's an issue with my cairo and/or pango packages. [01:34] Hello [01:34] i just did a clean install of jaunty and i made a partition with mount point /media/storage. i can see the partion and enter it but i dont have any access. how to fix? [01:34] thats kind of interesting mcpancakes [01:34] Does anyone know of any good poker/Cribbage stand a lone games [01:34] ? [01:34] Please [01:34] pik} : did you mount it as root? [01:35] alex_21: talk about off topic...just a sec [01:35] For Ubuntu [01:35] Seven_Six_Two: no, rsync copies files, not partitions. Check out http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/info.html or maybe http://www.mondorescue.org [01:35] Of course [01:35] !backup [01:35] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [01:35] pik} : if not check for permision errors it the most common error [01:35] pik}, what fs is it? [01:35] reiserFS [01:35] Seven_Six_Two: see also ubottu above [01:35] cooper77z: I was thinking I maybe ought to reinstall both of cairo and pango? [01:35] that's a lot of links. Thanks all! [01:36] pik}, hmm, is the problem because your user does not own the files? [01:36] jdu probably [01:36] pik}, including the top level dir? [01:36] How do I do a search for packages from CLI? [01:36] Please [01:36] Alex_21: apt-cache search [01:36] Alex_21, apt-cache [01:36] Alex_21: apt-cache search searchterm [01:36] Alex_21: http://www.brothersoft.com/dd-poker-for-linux-97737.html [01:36] I don't know, but I was thinking that all the libraries don't work without direct control in the terminal? [01:36] pik}, so you can probably fix it by running: chown -R youruser:youruser /media/storage [01:36] ok trying === redsoxking|AFK is now known as redsoxking [01:37] pik}, as root [01:37] sorry [01:37] Alex_21, sudo aptitude search [01:37] oops, sorry [01:37] i figured that out myself jdu ;) [01:37] :) [01:37] jdu: that did the magic. [01:37] thanks mate [01:38] yeah! [01:38] cooper77z, I experience the same thing also with 'sudo terminal', as well as launching it from its shortcut. [01:38] does firefox work normal in gui? [01:40] cooper77z, all the elements in web pages load except for some text. [01:40] hello everyone. If I was brand new to linux and got an ubuntu book and crunchbang on my laptop, would the book help me out? [01:40] on gnome or kde or something else? [01:40] GNOME [01:41] normal intrepid [01:41] hmmmm.... [01:41] Thanks for your help [01:41] Good day [01:41] spursncowboys, it will help in most cases as their both linux [01:41] spursncowboys, also if I'm not mistaken their both based on debian [01:42] can you install the broadscope font libraries from applications library or synaptic? [01:42] spursncowboys, but i would recomend you read their documentation and base anything you do on that [01:42] Ok let me explain what I am trying to do. I want to create an ip address on *this* machine - like 192.168.1.12 or 10.0.4.1 or whatever -- I want it to be so that anything sent to *that* ip address, on port 22 --- goes to a different ip address, on port 99 --- how can I do that? [01:42] spursncowboys, that way any support they can give you will be usefull for you === _MrsApple_ is now known as _MrApple_ [01:43] in this way I can ssh to blah@10.0.4.1 instead of ssh to blah@_other_ip -p 99 -- removes the need to specify port [01:43] Well really I want to buy my nephew the book and send him a disk and let him at it on his dell ispiron 2650 [01:43] how come crunchbang doesn't have an irc channel on freenode? [01:43] it has 256 mb and I read that is not good enough for ubuntu [01:43] bucky: they do. #crunchbang [01:44] CapaH, /etc/hosts [01:44] ... of course [01:44] is there any way to use mouse4 (back) mouse5 (forward) with nautilus? [01:44] spursncowboys, the book would be good reference, but if your looking for small size try xubuntu [01:44] Seven_Six_Two, : You can tell etc/hosts an IP address and PORT ? [01:44] oh cool 50 users [01:44] its made for this type of cases [01:44] that I'm not sure of... [01:44] would that be closer to the referrence type books for ubuntu? [01:45] CapaH: Seven_Six_Two: no ports in /etc/hosts, sorry... [01:45] squid? [01:45] ah thats what I need [01:45] I need the port [01:45] spursncowboys: the crunchbang wki and forums [01:45] spursncowboys, yeah since its the same base code, you would only need to change references in gui tools and you can intall them on top if necesarry [01:45] cooper77z, 'sudo aptitude search broadscope' nor searching for 'broadscope' in synaptic yields any results. what is that package? [01:46] Is there a way to assign additional ips to this machine? If so I can modify ssh_config to use default ports [01:46] not code [01:46] I'm sure squid would do it, although I don't know how easy it is to set up [01:46] ... aliases [01:46] amagaaaaaaad ubuntu's kewl! :D [01:46] spursncowboys, if you decide to go for crunchbag it would be better to follow their documentation, rather than the ubuntu book [01:46] is there any way to use mouse4 (back) mouse5 (forward) with nautilus? [01:47] but I think if you search ubuntu forums under google gonts your edition you will find the package you could install to enable fonts in firefox [01:47] spursncowboys, besides online documentation is always better than a book since its almost allways up to date [01:47] spursncowboys: Best to ask in #crunchbang if you're looking for help with it, as it is not an official Ubuntu variant. [01:47] masterkoppa: I didn't find an actual paperback book for that, and it said it is ubuntu [01:47] not gonts fonts [01:48] thanks pici, they are helpin, I wasn't sure if anyone was in there to answer earlier. [01:48] yep got it - using alias + /etc/hosts -- got it working [01:48] I tried uninstalling/reinstalling msttcorefonts, but that did not fix it. it's not that no fonts show, only some don't. === map7 is now known as map7|away [01:48] spursncowboys, you would probably find more documentation regarding its WM openbox, which is the base of chrunchbag [01:48] there is a master font installer on the forums [01:48] CapaH, how'd you do the alias part? [01:48] spursncowboys: documentation is usually of date by the time it makes it to print so everything is done on the internet now [01:48] spursncowboys, I've persanally used openbox and its very light so its perfect for this case [01:49] not code [01:49] out of date [01:49] oh nm [01:49] maybe google font firefox ubuntu forums [01:50] Seven_Six_Two: ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.2.1 [01:50] Just creating an internal ip visible to just this machine [01:50] spursncowboys, also have you considered a ram upgrade? [01:50] then I can do whatever port forwarding I want on it [01:50] I am sure there is a tek on that one I have used it myself [01:50] CapaH, nice === yo is now known as Guest93624 [01:51] hi, i installed the latest nvidia driver from nvidias website, if i install ubuntu's nvidia driver thats in the repo, will it get replaced or do i have to delete it first? [01:51] spursncowboys, no matter what distro you use it will allways bring a speed increse and since memory is so cheap these days it wont cost much [01:51] how much ram does Xbuntu use? [01:51] I have a duo core or something and from cat /proc/cpuinfo I see 2 entries like this: model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 4300 @ 1.80GHz I was wondering if anyone here knows how to get 2 copies of World of Warcraft on linux, running on different CPUS"? [01:51] I kind of need some help. I was running on Ubuntu 8.10 fine and my sound was perfectly fine and after I did an upgrade to 9.04 my sound is not working at all. [01:51] bucky: if im not mistaken its 128 MB [01:52] for some reason firefox 3.5 has not been updated on my computer. I'm still on firefox 3.0 [01:52] bucky: its made for low memory footprint [01:52] i used brasero to rip an audio cd, and it gives me a .toc and a .toc.bin file. how can i burn these to a blank cd to make a second audio cd? [01:52] I even ran update manager manually [01:52] spursncowboys: 192 MB RAM to run the Live CD or 128 MB RAM to install [01:52] Xbuntu [01:52] bucky: not that much but I wanted the closest thing to what a beg. ubuntu bk would have. If xubuntu is closer than crunchbang, then that is the one I want. I just don't know [01:53] spursncowboys, xubuntu is much closer than crunchbag [01:53] did that work mcpancakes? [01:53] spursncowboys: do you want 1500 users to help you here or 50 users to help you in #crunchbang ? [01:54] spursncowboys, also since its a first time user he wil thank that extra support he can get from this chat and the forums [01:54] ok thanks masterkoppa [01:54] hi all [01:54] spursncowboys, GL [01:54] cooper77z, unfortunately, the ubuntu forums use one of the fonts that is not being loaded. [01:54] huh? [01:54] yeah I am a huge fan of ubuntu. That is why I wanted a lite ubuntu [01:54] should i ask my newbie question here or on another channel? [01:55] maybe switch to beginners ubuntu help mcpancakes? [01:55] Where in GConf can I edit it so Metacity doesn't show the whole window when I drag it around? I just want an outline due to laggy tearing. [01:55] !ask | roguerobot [01:55] roguerobot: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [01:55] cooper77z, some fonts are not being displayed. the ubuntu forums' font is one of them.

[01:56] WolfBlood, whats the problem? [01:56] lol i've only used 125gigs out of 300gigs this month [01:57] Master: After updating to 9.04 from 8.10 my sound has not worked. [01:57] please help, I can not see minimized programs on the desktop.... what can i do?? [01:57] WolfBlood: dude did you search the forum? [01:57] cooper77z, nah it's not a color issue. I ctrl-a and I see the same thing as if I were highlighting whitespace. [01:57] hellooo [01:57] Rambo: Yes, could not find anything. [01:57] it knows where the text is, it seems, but it isn't displaying it. [01:57] i'm trying to get ubuntu to use my DVD drive as DVD-R/W. Right now it's using it as DVD ROM apparently. I'm trying to burn a movie to a DVD. Brasero says "use the right plugin" or something to that effect. Any pointers? [01:57] Hey guys would it be worth running ubuntu server on a uverse connection [01:57] maybe i need to download harder [01:57] how make a team in kubuntu community? [01:57] WolfBlood, you will probably be better of looking in the forums, as Im not really good with sound issues [01:57] did you highlight some of the text to see if the text became visable? [01:58] mcpancakes? [01:58] WolfBlood: hold on [01:58] Master: I shall look again. [01:58] cooper77z, yes. that's what ctrl-a does. [01:58] WolfBlood, I heard about some people having success removing all pulse audio packages, reinstalling the ubuntu meta packages that get pulled and rebooting [01:58] try using the mouse [01:58] same thing. [01:58] hmmmm... [01:58] cooper, can i use ipod on ubuntu?? [01:58] WolfBlood: go here ... try what one suggested http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1136670&page=2 [01:59] Anyone know why Firefox 3.5 has not been pushed out via update manager? [01:59] of course you can [01:59] Thank you Rambo, Seven. [01:59] How?? [01:59] which programs should i use?? [01:59] I don't know, but I am sure it's possible [01:59] is there a way to specify what processor an application runs on with duocore? [02:00] ok [02:00] bye for now, I am going for a bike ride :) [02:00] newbie here: GDM crashed " could not start Xserver" ... am logged in as root in recovery mode ... what command sequence to try recover GDM? thnks anyone [02:01] ltgg, browse to /var/log and cat the gdm log file to see what the error is. [02:01] ltgg, sorry, not cat. less [02:03] Crewsr3: 3.5 still not ready, I guess... [02:03] seven: how to "cat the gdm log file" command? [02:05] arand, any quess as to why 3.5 is not ready for ubuntu? [02:05] ltgg: less /var/log/gdm/:0.log.1 [02:05] So which desktop environment is supposed to be the most lightweight again? CDE or XDM?

[02:06] Kira: i like icewm [02:07] seven: got a bunch of output i do not understand [02:07] hi everyone [02:07] hey guys... a quick question for u... I have an old PC with 512MB RAM... debian (free -m) is reporting 504MB only! Any explanations? (the video is NOT shared) [02:07] jrdave: rounding...I have 1024, but Ubuntu says only 1001 [02:08] Kira: and you can install icewm-gnome-support to get all the functionality of gnome [02:08] mechtech: oh! [02:08] mechtech: so if I convert the amount manually it show be correct (from bytes)? [02:09] bucky: how does it compare to Xfce? [02:09] jrdave: makes sense to me [02:09] mechtech: lemme try [02:09] does anyone else having problems with 64 bit flash player [02:10] ltgg, what irc client do you use? (typing my nick makes the conversation easier to follow for me) you could put the lines that look like errors on pastebin.com and give us the link it returns. Without knowing what the error is... [02:10] Kira: Xfce is nice if you like that flavor.. it's kinda got it's own feel [02:10] mechtech: NO... its in KB and when divided by 1024 it shows 504MB!!! [02:10] Kira: 192 MB RAM to run the Live CD or 128 MB RAM to install Xbuntu [02:11] jrdave: why would you divide by 1024? [02:11] jrdave: using free or system monitor? [02:11] mechtech: coz the default output is in KB [02:12] Can either be used with NX? [02:12] seven: using Xchat ... cannot pastebin output ... do not know ho to do that from where I am ( recovery prompt ) [02:12] jrdave: you need only move the decimal place three places to the left to convert from KB to MB === Perfec7 is now known as Alexis === Alexis is now known as Alexis_Konam [02:13] when burning an ISO onto a dvd, can I add other files/folders to the burn folder, or would that make the disk not boot when I am done? [02:13] mechtech: 1MB=1024KB and not 1000 [02:13] ahhh the famous "MB" ... riddle me this ... is an MB= 1000 * 1024 * 1024? or 1000 * 1000 * 1000? or 1000 * 1024 * 1000? [02:13] !pastebinit | ltgg if you have net [02:13] jrdave: marketing in the storage world isn't entirely accurate as many find with more often with hard drives. same holds true for memory. you probably have somewhere around 512000 bytes in marketing terms, that's 512MB, not 504MB. It all depends on how you divide the bytes, either by 1024 or 1000. [02:13] ltgg if you have net: pastebinit is the command-line equivelent of !pastebin . Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output. Simple usage: command-name | pastebinit [02:14] Kira: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=402684 [02:14] stovicek: BIOS reports 512MB [02:14] hey. [02:14] jrdave: as I said before and stoveicek has more verbosely described...rounding [02:14] jrdave: because bios divided it by 1000. Either way, you have a half gig. [02:15] jrdave: therefore, to convert KB into MB, simply move the decimal point three places to the left [02:15] new here [02:15] is there a secure way to share my media online? [02:15] jrdave: I've got 4Gb. Bios reports it as 4GB. But I see 3830MB. It's still the same 4GB, just divided by a different factor. [02:15] ltgg, if you use xchat, just type the first few chars of a nick and hit tab. it will either autocomplete for you or give you a list of possible choices (so hit a few more characters) and tab again [02:15] bucky: cool. :D [02:15] Thanks [02:15] so when im not on my local network i can acess them? [02:15] stovicek: I see [02:17] stovicek, lot's of hardware, pci devices, agp, etc could be using it too [02:17] do samba shares work over the internet aswell as local?

'help' from someone on this channel a month back trying to solve a minor problem ... CRASH! === sk is now known as Guest48631 [02:17] ltgg, lol. sorry about your luck... [02:17] samba will work over the internet, but it's not secure so you should put the traffic inside a vpn [02:18] Hey FunkyHat! [02:18] is that hard?im still pretty new. [02:18] * kotsu smacks funkyHat [02:18] seven: thanks for your response ... often on this channel i feel invisible. [02:19] I saw the sign, and it opened up my eyes I saw the sign. [02:19] hi all [02:19] unitypunk: it's hard if you have a hard time reading docs or googling [02:20] unitypunk: depends on your skill/experience/equipment at hand [02:20] and any computer anywhere can acess a vpn? [02:20] mechtech, if you *can* add to the burn folder, you aren't burning the image (getting the original data back). [02:20] cause like, i want my girlfriend to have acess too. [02:20] hey guys is there a guide somewhere on installing servers to ubuntu via command line? howtoforge has GUI but im trying to install packages in my vps [02:21] unitypunk, how many different users need the info? is the info security sensitive? [02:21] not at all [02:21] just my movie collection [02:21] and music [02:22] blognewb_: Have you seen: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/index.html Its quite helpful [02:22] Pici: I haven't yet, is it dumb/stupid/noob friendly? [02:22] unitypunk, to make it easy install gadmin-samba to setup your samba. if you want it open over the internet, have your firewall map in ports 137,138,139. Have the other user connectio to \\ipaddress\share [02:23] ltgg, np. if you're looking for some good reading material (aside from free online docs) I recommend "Linux Administrator Handbook". It's pink and has a cartoon on the front, but it's excellent [02:23] then they could mount it as a virtual drive right? [02:24] unitypunk, be aware that samba via internet is vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks and who can see traffic between you and other user gets the samba password. samba password does not have to be same as a login user's password. samba user does not have to be the same as a login user. you should make the share read only access. === media- is now known as media` [02:24] unitypunk, maybe make your share readonly to public and share over the internet.... [02:24] unitypunk, yes easily mounted as a drive in windows or linux [02:25] windows = map z: \\ipaddy\share [02:25] that sounds perfect. [02:25] How do I open alsa mixer in terminal? [02:25] linux = mount -t cifs //ipaddy/share /mnt/somemountpoint (install smbclient, smbfs first) [02:25] WolfBlood, type alsamixer === iiro is now known as tjbbb [02:27] 8816 [02:27] gadmin-samba is the package name righta/ [02:27] What's the proper procedure to create a user whose home directory already exists in /home? [02:28] gadmin-samba, you can also find under add/remove programs === logan is now known as Guest9568 [02:28] well im in terminal right now. [02:28] twig11: probably 'adduser' [02:28] and i have root. [02:28] the sound card and wireless dont work unless i boot in recovery mode [02:28] twig11, and perhaps deleteing the home dir first [02:28] tried apt-get install gadmin-samba and it wasnt found. [02:28] is there a permenaent fix to this [02:28] sudo apt-get install gadmin-samba [02:29] i already did su., [02:29] twig11: i am a user too, but, what i would do is rename the folder, then create the user, and then rename again the folder to match the user's login name === tjbbb is now known as tjbb [02:29] useradd -d /home/username username [02:29] lvlefisto, twig11 one could just copy the files [02:29] the -d sets what the homedir should be [02:30] gadmin-openvpn-server and gadmin-openvpn-client are good ones too [02:30] do you have the universe/multiverse installed? [02:30] uhh [02:30] i think so. [02:30] i should? [02:30] jdu: that too =) [02:30] lvlefisto: jdu: and if I just copied files over the permissions would be right if the new user's name was the same as the old one? [02:30] Is it me or does firefox always lock up when you try to upload pictures to imageshack, tinypic, flickr? [02:30] if the files are already smb shared. [02:31] do i have to do anything to them? [02:31] I get the "grey out" effect [02:31] twig11: you'd want do chown -R user:user /home/user/ [02:31] sephy: i dont have that problem [02:31] twig11, probably, but not always. You might have to use a chown command afterword [02:31] sephy: but it happens to me on flickr [02:31] like Ghoti__ said [02:31] twig11: you can always set the permissions to the folder using chmode -R [02:31] I can't get it to work for Imageshack photobucket and tinypic [02:31] edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list, find the line with "main" and add " universe multiverse". save the file. apt-get update. apt-get install gadmin-samba [02:31] ever since i installed virtualbox ose (since removed) my sound card and wireless dont work unlexx i boot to recovery mode [02:31] if the files are already shared, it's a firewall issue [02:32] twig11: Just use adduser, and tell it to not to create a homedir, it's one of the options. [02:32] censushq, have you checked the forums for a solution? [02:32] gadmin-samba gives you a nice gui to add/remove shares, add/remove users, etc. as it relates to samba [02:32] Ghoti__: lvlefisto: okay I think I can handle that. Flannel: what is the syntax for that? [02:32] what is the url for the forums [02:32] i didnt check there first [02:32] twig11, useradd -d /home/username username [02:33] censushq, ubuntuforums.org [02:34] Seven_Six_Two: How do I set whether that user is a desktop user or an admin? === maximo_ is now known as Nasra [02:35] twig11, if you want him to be an admin add him to the admins group already created [02:35] twig11: Actually, adduser already doesn't overwrite home if it exists. === Nasra is now known as Maximo [02:35] Seven_Six_Two: There's no reason to use useradd, adduser is a much better method [02:35] Flannel: I hope you're SURE. [02:35] kernel update destroyed sound and wifi [02:35] twig11: check the manpage yourself if you don't believe me. [02:35] fixed by booting into recovery mode [02:36] !hello [02:36] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [02:36] censushq, the try reinstalling the kernel package [02:36] Flannel: be back in a minute. [02:36] censushq: have you tried reinstalling your kernel? === MagicFab is now known as Guest80850 [02:36] os[Linux 2.6.31-rc3-zenmod3 x86_64] distro[Ubuntu "karmic" 9.10] cpu[4 x AMD Phenom(tm) 9650 Quad-Core Processor (AuthenticAMD) @ 2.30GHz] mem[Physical: 7.8GB, 95.9% free] disk[Total: 18.5GB, 61.6% free] video[nVidia Corporation G96 [GeForce 9500 GT]] sound[HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB] [02:36] !!!!!!! [02:36] Flannel, is the result different? [02:36] twig11: You can throw in --no-create-home too if you want [02:37] how do i revert to older kernel or reinstall kernetl package === Guest80850 is now known as MagicFab [02:37] i want to disable a module from the initramfs [02:37] Seven_Six_Two: Sometimes. adduser has more defaults built in, etc. useradd is much lower level. [02:37] censushq: sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-image- [02:38] Flannel, I noticed more switches on the manpage. do you happen to know if they both use the skeleton dir for new users? [02:38] I want to burn an ISO onto a disk along with other files and folders...will that prevent the disk from being bootable? [02:38] mechtech, what kind of iso? [02:38] What's the recommended way to install Adobe Reader on 9.04? [02:39] mechtech yes [02:39] seven_six_two: bootable operating system iso [02:39] mechtech, if you're choosing to burn a data cd/dvd and adding the iso, it wouldn't be bootable anyhow [02:39] unitxt .deb from their site [02:40] magicfab: yes it will prevent the disk from booting? [02:40] unitxt: I believe ubuntu comes out of the box with a reader, just doesn't have 'adobe' on it [02:40] mechtech not prevent... as SST says a data dvd wont boot anyways [02:40] hey guys how do i install "make" and gcc via Putty? [02:40] im scared [02:40] Seven_Six_Two: they both do, yes. [02:40] losher, you here? [02:40] mechtech, it's not the adding of files and folders at burn time that stops it from being bootable. [02:41] Flannel, thanks [02:41] jefinc corretc. evince it is [02:41] MagicFab: it's a .bin file... [02:41] jefinc, I use Document Viewer at the moment and it's good. I have my reasons why I want Adobe [02:41] blognewb_ with build tools comes great rsponsibility ;) [02:41] mechtech, it's that you're burning a data cd. you need to choose "burn image" [02:42] magicfabe ISO is of a bootable disk?: seven_six_two: even if th [02:42] unitxt: fair enough :) [02:42] Ubuntu didn't work for shit. Installed Fedora 11 with no problems whatsover. Thanks. [02:42] seven_six_two: Oh...I see [02:42] i am rebooting i may return [02:42] if you want to add files (don't know if you can do this) you would have to mount the iso as loopback device and add the files *before* burning. any comments on whether that would work? [02:44] Seven_Six_Two: ive done it, but it can be slower thana program just burning the contents of the iso too disk [02:45] gartral, mounting the iso and then burning a data disc of the contents + whatever? [02:46] thanks guys, I'll just burn the image and retreive waht I want after wards... [02:46] Seven_Six_Two: is slower than just burning the contents to a cd.. [02:48] how do streamer?you restart g [02:48] how do you restart gstreamer? [02:48] i am back [02:49] reinstalling kernel fixed wireless but not sound [02:49] the sound speker icon tray has a red no sign [02:49] when i click on it it gives an errror that there is no sound device [02:49] is there a trick to fix the sound [02:50] no volume control gstreamer plugins/and or devices found [02:50] is the error [02:50] the kernel update broke my sound [02:50] and wireless [02:50] i fixed the wireless [02:50] any ideas why mp3s get all mixed up when I copy them to my mp3 player ... have some audio books and kinda need them to be in order from 1 to whatever but when I copy them over they get all jumbled and this happens on more than one mp3 player [02:51] Flannel: I can go adduser /home/username username [02:51] ? [02:52] twig11: if you want it to create a homedir somewhere other than /home/username, you can specify it. Otherwise, it uses that format by default (see the man page) [02:52] Flannel: so just adduser username? [02:52] gparted is listing /dev/sda3 (which is mounted as /home/db) as having 53GB used out of 72 -- but properties for /home/db shows only 17GB being used. Something I'm missing?

[03:02] But I don't know how to disable them their built in [03:03] run synaptic, search for "pulse" and completely remove them. you'll get a popup saying other packages have to be removed as well. write them down. then apply the changes. when that's done, search for the packages that you wrote down and reinstall them. apply, and when that's done, reboot [03:03] Apocapus: don't disable the drives, just disable the bios option for booting to usb drive, and remove any media that might be in those drives [03:04] Seven: I am really, really new. What is synaptic? === ptan1 is now known as ptan99 [03:04] OH Ok.... [03:04] Seven: Scratch that, I found it [03:04] apocapus I have usb card readers on mine and every version I have installed worked fine ... just make sure you dont have any media in it [03:04] I don't even know how to put media into them [03:04] WolfBlood, make sure that you are removing the pulse audio stuff, because there may be other, non-audio related pkgs with pulse in the name. I don't know [03:05] Seven_Six_Two: I've read man adduser. Unfortunately, I don't think I have enough experience to make sense of how to put this together. What I want to do is create a user whose priveleges would be the equivalent of what is called I think a Desktop User in the "users and groups" GUI. But I want that user's home dir to be the preexisting one in /home. What command would you use for that?

[03:23] Seven_Six_Two: except I haven't done that since earlier, when I imported that directory from a FAT drive. That means my permissions are all messed up and I should run chown right? [03:23] it is just adjacent [03:23] you would only do that if you needed to change the owner of the files. old user bob will still own the home dir after it's created again.

To get it to work on the network, I built and installed cups-bjnp. Using the printer as an iP4600 shared via SMB from a Windows machine also worked. [03:25] arleslie: oh ok....

Take her laptop and your ubuntu (if you have that) and run them side by side and show here [03:31] thats what i did with my mom [03:31] she loves ubuntu [03:31] ^Sarah: you can downgrade to xp... [03:31] ^Sarah, I told my mom that I would fix her comp one more time (few years ago) and if she doesn't take linux, it would be the last time, She's called for help a few times, but didn't complain much.

[03:32] /me takes out the vista disk and calls over roudy to eat it [03:32] <^Sarah> mechtech: she saw ubuntu when my ibook died last week and I turned her old dell into this ubuntu computer :) [03:32] ^Sarah, I think you have to take in to account the user's skill level. She didn't really know how to use windows either (which is why she kept breaking it!) so it was an easy transition for her. [03:32] anybody know how to assign functions to media-buttons on a keyboard? [03:33] ^ubuntu 9 [03:33] ^sarah: and she still prefers windows? [03:33] <[R]> brummbaer: the keyboard shortcuts dialog in gnome lets you do that [03:33] <^Sarah> mechtech: yeah, she's got a lot of windows dependent programs [03:33] brummbaer: system -> preferences -> keyboard shortcuts [03:33] oh spiff ty guys!

[03:36] me too *blush* [03:37] [R]: Well, I have 2 frequently occurring problems and I figured maybe a kernel update would've fixed it [03:37] <[R]> PROject-Emerald: you figured? [03:37] in completely removing proftpd from my server, i might've accidentally removed the proftpd command from /etc/init.d [03:37] Yeah, because 9.10alpha fixed those problems I had [03:37] reinstalling proftpd did not bring it back LOL [03:38] <[R]> PROject-Emerald: well w/o knowing what the "problems" are... saying 9.10 fixed it means nothing [03:38] One is that the monitor will completely shut off / hibernate, killing everything I was doing forcing a hard restart to bring it back [03:38] so, how do i get proftpd command back into /etc/init.d? [03:38] and the other one is the OS will crash and nothing will work / clickable, and the mouse is all jumpy also forcing a hard restart. [03:39] <[R]> PROject-Emerald: your monitor shutting off isnt' going to kill anything [03:39] PROject-Emerald: 9.10 has alot of changes, specifically with power management and a new kernel series 2.6.30 [03:39] <[R]> neither of those sound too kernely [03:39] [R]: what if one of the media buttons doesn't seem to be getting picked up? [03:40] can someone direct me to the safest drivers or workaround for jaunty and old intel graphics drivers? i just updated and i can barely see anything on my screen. all the fonts /colors everything is out of control [03:40] When I'm in the middle of some huge paper I have to finish, a hard restart really isn't too good. [03:40] <[R]> brummbaer: then you'll have to map it... there are some docs on the ubuntu wiki about it [03:40] i'm not looking for editing scripts or anything. just anything official [03:40] It doesn't come back on unless i either hold the power button down or unplug it. [03:40] <[R]> PROject-Emerald: well if 9.10 works... [03:40] I'm having issues with firefox being recognized as my default browser. for example, when I select the "open link in browser" option for opening a link from Xchat, nothing happens. I get the same result with automated bug reports; they never open the browser like they should [03:41] -_- someone told me not to update, that it's extremely buggy and will almost always crash [03:41] [R]: cool, thx. wasn't sure of the terminology to search for. [03:41] PROject-Emerald: This sounds to me like a power management proble, prob from hal since it was eliminated in 9.10 [03:41] Any way to fix it without updating?

[04:43] lstarnes: true [04:43] NOM1: otherwise, it not working in firefox but working in IE wouldn't make much sense [04:44] I'm tallking about EVERYTHING.

[04:45] is it a gdm issue? [04:45] alex____: they've been working fine for the last five days...it's only when I plugged in the HD external monitor that it's squashed everything (on both) [04:46] alex___: Given that do you still think it's a driver issue? [04:46] JoAnneThrax: You've been running it as if you've been running Windows in "VGA Mode"... you only have basic use of the card, not all the functions. [04:46] silver anggel [04:46] alex___: Ah... [04:46] alex___: However, when I run commands to set the default gateway on my pc and dhclient eth0, I can get internet access for about a second or two on my pc then it drops back out === ResidentCommie is now known as Lenin_Cat [04:46] can you fix it for the next release? [04:46] JoAnneThrax: I think the first thing to try is the driver. if that doesn't work we can try something else. [04:47] quinton: So... are you saying your having problems with the internet all together, or just to the xbox? [04:47] or is it an issue with the proprietary nvidia driver that wouldnt be? [04:47] alex___: Well with the bridge up, my xbox works, not my pc. With the bridge down, pc works but not xbox(internet connection i mean) [04:47] alex___: should I get the linux x86_64 version? [04:48] JoAnneThrax: Did you install the 64 bit or the 32 bit OS? [04:48] The processor's 64 bit; I'm assuming ubuntu could determine? [04:48] quinton: Hmm... that's odd lol. Sorry, I'm not sure what to tell you [04:48] JoAnneThrax: What ISO did you download? [04:48] It didn't give me the option of chosing it manually... [04:48] Uh...ISO?

[04:49] alex___: Like when i use konsole: inup br0 , my xbox connects fine. but my pc internet is down. so i use sudo route add default gateway 192.168.0.1 then dhclient eth1 and my internet works for like 2 secs then quits while my xbox remains connected. it's weird.

[05:02] how do i see all the wireless routers and their channels they broadcast on? [05:03] JoAnneThrax: and what reason is that? :) [05:03] JoAnneThrax: jockey-gtk is what you are looking for [05:03] quinton: sudo apt-get update? yeah [05:03] Okay...it's downloading and installing already. It prompted me right away. [05:04] ARMENIAN: yeah you might have to add auacious's repository if they have one. Speaking of old old-dated stuff in there, they have a really old version of wine too(wasn't aware until I found out today). Do you know anywhere to report outdated software in the repository? [05:04] JoAnneThrax: its magical! :) [05:04] Well, it SAYS it's downloading and installing. Still at 0%, however [05:04] trying to connect to user level security smb share where the password has a ! and a @ in it. how would I do this from mac os x? i have tried surrounding the password both single quotes and double quotes and neither have worked. I have to enter something like this: smb://user:password@host/share but I can't figure out how to enter the password. [05:04] how do i see what channel all the wireless routers i'm picking up are broadcasting on? [05:05] quinton: ubuntu dosent consider that a bug. it updates everything eveyr 6mo (approxamatly) [05:05] quinton: if you want the latest wine - use the winehq repos. [05:05] quinton, you could file a bug, but version updates are only done per release - every six months [05:05] When (if) it downloads and installs, will I still have to do some manual configuring? [05:05] madpilot: oh wow D: [05:05] quinton: nah no clue hwere to report :( odd that ubuntu is the most popular rep yet so many things are outdated and yes i did know about wine being outdated, anyway I'm probably just gonna get the package from getdeb.net [05:05] quinton: also ive heard some games dont work as well with version .25 of wine.. they work better with the .24 version (no idea why, just learned it from reading some forums) [05:05] JoAnneThrax: It should get you CCC with it, reboot... if your still having troubles try the settings in CCC [05:06] It's still at 0%...that can't possibly be good... [05:06] Madpilot: however. some people who are ambitous create PPA's and update a package version but you can start breaking stuff on accident if you use PPA's that have uipdated versions. sometimes that is. [05:06] alex___: Just run "CCC" at a commandline? [05:06] hey guys, is there a way to automatically start remote desktop when the machine boots? the only reason why i ask is if i reboot my machine, i need to login first, then remote desktop starts to listen. i was wondering if there's a way for it to listen before a user logs in? [05:06] JoAnneThrax: It's amdcccle [05:06] mazda01, true. I use PPAs for a couple of apps, myself [05:06] Dr_willis: Yeah I got the latest today. This isn't my gaming rig, got a quadcore with a 9800gtx+ running windows for that :P. Do you have any clue on getting photoshop running perhaps? I have CS4 and crashes at splash screen. [05:06] or is there another solution to remotely manage my machine, besides ssh. [05:06] alex___: And that's a video configuration app? [05:07] whats best way to image your system for quick recovery ? [05:07] juanbond: if you dont want to share the current visiable desktop. you can just use 'vnc4server' or 'tightvnc' and have a remote desktop running.. thats NOT displayed locally. [05:07] JoAnneThrax: Yeah. But you might not have any problems at all after reboot [05:07] juanbond: or set up gdm to autologin :) [05:07] Will that let me do things like set it up for dual monitor and the various resolutions and all that... [05:07] ARMENIAN: yeah same. I used OpenSuse 10.2 for about a month then went back to windows and just came back. YasT always seemed updated though. Apparently they only update them every six months. [05:07] JoAnneThrax: Yup. all that [05:07] Oh, good...it started downloading. [05:07] Madpilot: yeah. I have used it for pulseaudio, docky, and some others. haven't had any troubles as of yet. do you know how to connect to a smb password share where the password has punctuation in it? [05:07] I'm going to reboot. BRB [05:07] Dr_willis, is that something like how Terminal Services work for Windows? [05:07] mazda01, no idea, never used smb [05:08] how do i see what channel all the wireless routers i'm picking up are broadcasting on? so i can set mine to a different channel [05:08] quinton: hmm, yeah I might even give archlinux a try too, ubuntu has been good for me as a beginner, but this whole everything being outdated is not too good [05:08] juanbond: no idea. i dont use that for windows.. I just have used vnc a LOT over the last few years... its a very flexiable tool. and shareing the 'currently displayed desktop' is just ONE way of using it to get a 'remote' desktop. and my least favorite way to use it. [05:08] jedi06: what is your wireless interface? ath0, wifi0 or what. i can tell you a command to run which should show you the channel each router is on [05:09] yes please [05:09] ARMENIAN: Have you used Opensuse? It has a really good setup for KDE, if you haven't tried it yet. I'm on Kubuntu, not Ubuntu as I can't stand GNOME :p. Honestly, if I need something bad enough like an app i'll go to their website and make sure its the latest version, but i wish they upgraded it on the fly. [05:09] juanbond: you can install vnc4server. edit the .vnc/xstartup and then 'ssh' into the server. start 'vncserver' then connect via a vnc client. No need for a local running gnome session at all. :) and the desktop will be persistant. You can close the vnc viewer and reconnect at a later time.. or from a differnt box. [05:10] Dr_willis: i use x11vnc to log into my already logged in sesison. I love it. I ssh in first, then create a tunnel for x11vnc. it's great. [05:10] What does the letter 'f' stand for in the command 'fuser'? Is it 'file'? [05:10] mazda01, it is either eth0 or eth1 [05:10] probably eth1 [05:10] sorry disk manager is in repositori? [05:10] quinton: yeah I've given opensuse a try, I'm the complete opposite of you when it comes to guis, I can't stand KDE :P part of the reason i couldnt deal with openSUSE :P [05:10] alex___, et. al.: thank you very much! [05:10] mazda01_: thats just one way to use vnc... i never use x11vnc i find it slower.. but im on a local lan. so i never need to tunnle either. [05:10] It seems to be working fine. [05:10] jedi06: that can't be your wireless connection, at least I don't think it can. eth0 and eth1 are normally your ethernet card, not your wireless card. what does lspci -v return>? [05:11] mazda01_: if on a local lan. you can also use 'xming' on windows to export the X desktop/apps to appear on your windows machines. :) [05:11] Dr_willis: what vnc server is faster and that allows you to see the current users session? [05:11] ARMENIAN: :O! KDE is so amazing =[. KDE4 is really intuitive and fun to use :p [05:11] '~$ man umountfs; No manual entry for umountfs.' Why is there no manual page for umountfs? [05:11] JoAnneThrax: Sorry I led you in circles trying to make sure you got the newest driver =P [05:11] blist [05:12] mazda01_: i fimd shareing the current session slows them all down.. the only 2 that i see that can do that are x11vnc and the built in gnome one.. there may be others.. I rarely use it that way [05:12] bullgard4: can;t you just check the man page for umount? [05:12] quinton: Have you tried LinuxMINT? [05:12] Why does in bash have different keymappings than in X? [05:12] mazda01, it is eth1 [05:12] is anyone running 2.6.31 with iwlagn driver on karmic or otherwise? [05:12] 802.11 WiFi (eth1) [05:12] Dr_willis: oh, i see. [05:12] alex___: Nah. I saw it mentioned once, no clue what it is. [05:12] quinton: Supposedly they are supposed to have more updates than any other distro [05:13] quinton: I've actually installed KDE over gnome on my ubuntu install to give it a try, and it's more resource intensive and it actually crashed my video card or something whenever i would minimize and maxamize things really fast or do somehting only slightly graphics card intensive, with gnome i dont have that problem [05:13] Hello, I got a silly question... Where can I change the number of virtual desktops on the new Ubuntu 9.04? I'm not able to find this... [05:13] jedi06: then run this: iwconfig -i eth1 scanning. I think that's the command [05:13] just tell me how to discover what each wireless router chanell is [05:13] mazda01_: I did not say that I cannot. But this does not answer my question. [05:13] alex___: ive tried linuxmint, didn't like it too much [05:13] novalys: One option is to right click on your virtual desktops on your menu bar and select preferences [05:14] AREMENIAN: I never actually installed it, just put it on my usb key once lol [05:14] alex___: Meh. I like Kubuntu a lot, and the outdated repositories don't bother me too much. Although I was bit upset when I couldn't get WINE working with Digsby and turns out I didn't have the right WINE version :p [05:14] okay...here's something... [05:14] ARMENIAN: I'm assuming your PC is lackluster then haha [05:14] The external monitor is, theoretically, 1920x1080... [05:14] quinton: I gotta agree with ARMENIAN... I'm a gnome fan =D and my comp has great hardware, so that isn't the prob =P [05:14] what does my id_rsa key have to have for owner:group and permissions. I can't seem to get it to work on my mac even though the same key works for my other linux and windows machines. [05:14] alex___: I tried that, It only gives my a Columns and rows option, even when I change the number they are still only 2.. :( [05:15] quinton: nah, it's not too shabby built it 3.5 years ago ati 3200, 1 gig ram, x800gt, 1tb HD, 320 GB HD [05:15] ARMENIAN: I've always come from windows, and I would consider KDE as an Aeroish interface, way more stylish and looks fantastic but is more resource intensive, but GNOME is like the old windows 98, ugly but quick [05:15] novalys: There isn't a number of Workspaces option on yours?? [05:15] hello all can i get some help plz [05:15] ...but in amdcccle, it only lets me choose a 1366x786 desktop size... [05:15] bullgard4: i don't know what umountfs is for anyway. sorry [05:15] Bossman: just ask your question. [05:15] whats best way to image your system for quick recovery ? [05:15] alex___: nop.. I google this before comming here all info. point that same direction but mine isn't showing that. [05:15] mazda01_: Ok. [05:16] mazda01, nope unknown command eth1 [05:16] novalys: Now THAT is wierd... [05:16] alex___: I just couldn't do it. I mean look at this screenshot of tweaking the plasma for like an hour: http://i25.tinypic.com/2e1hc3q.jpg .. That's just sexy. [05:16] Do I have to install xinerama separately in order to do the dual-desktop thing? [05:16] quinton: i don't think gnome is too ugly :P just simpler [05:16] alex___: It's a 64bit fresh installation [05:16] SnakDoc: in ubuntu, I use sbackup. it's got a gui, easy to use and I have done a restore from it before. or you could just tarball everything up also. there are so many guides, just gogle backup ubuntu and you'll find tons. [05:16] quinton: Is that AWM? [05:16] quinton: KDE seems like an easier switch for someone who likes the Windows look [05:17] okay and am trying to change the owner on a folder and the files in the folder and i did chown but it only changed the main folder [05:17] alex___: AWM? [05:17] Hi anyone knows how to install ubuntu on mac ? === dreamy_ is now known as dreamy [05:17] quinton: all the icons and everything were really big, taking up more screen space it seems :P [05:17] ARMENIAN: I come from Windows :p. Namely, Windows 7. I'm used to it looking good. [05:17] hey guys [05:17] i get a Link Quality:2 Signal level:177 Noise level:176 [05:17] JoAnneThrax: are yo running the proprietary nvidia driver or do you have another video card? because I have found nvidia-settings sets up dual screen or twinview super easily. [05:17] that bad? [05:17] jedi06: so it doesn [05:17] mazda01_ i know they on google but was wanting to find someone that has used a certain app i just don't want to have to download everything again lol [05:17] 't show the channel? [05:17] ARMENIAN: My panel at the bottom I made big as a dock of sorts, it had the default kde tiny panel at the bottom [05:18] mazda01: proprietary AMD/ATI [05:18] quinton: yeah i actually was using Windows 7 shortly before switching to ubuntu, WIndows 7 isn't too shabby itself [05:18] quinton: Isn't that panel at the bottom AWN? [05:18] quinton: Isn't that panel at the bottom AWM? [05:18] SnakDoc: i said I use sbackup. very easy app to use. [05:18] quinton: different tastes, different tastes [05:18] alex___: It's just a regular Panel thru KDE, you can tweak the height and width and whatnot on the fly [05:18] quinton: There is a program called AWM you can use in gnome that looks exactly like that [05:18] can anyone please tell me what the owner:group and permissions are suppose to be for a private key? [05:18] quinton: u can do it in gnome also :) [05:19] Bossman: chown -r will change owner of folder and any files inside [05:19] ty legend2440 [05:19] and is it limiting me to 1366x768 on the external only because I'm currently mirroring the laptop's native display (which is only that size)? [05:19] gnome has more users overall I beleive, correct? [05:19] ARMENIAN: Yeah MS definitely got W7 right, but it can't hold a candle to Kubuntu from what I've seen. The only thing keeping me from using Kubuntu full time is Photoshop(I'm a web designer D:) and this network bridge [05:19] JoAnneThrax: You have to make them seperate desktops to make them seperate resolutions =(* [05:19] ARMENIAN: i would say gnome has more users, that's my opinion. [05:19] alex: ah. Got it. [05:19] alex___: I like all my animations like the cover flow alt-tab, the desktop cube, the wobbly desktop. I'm a flashy guy :P [05:19] mazda01_ thanks :) [05:19] quinton: Compiz + AWM + Emerald FTW [05:20] hey guys what do these lines do::-> touch /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh [05:20] apt-get update [05:20] apt-get -u upgrade [05:20] oops wrong channel :P [05:20] ?? [05:20] quinton: You can do all that in Gnome [05:20] btw im racecar56 [05:20] quinton: if I'm gonna get windows 7 I'm gonna bootleg it :P , for that reason I'm using Ubuntu [05:20] quinton: That is Compiz [05:20] exactly what does it try to upgrade? [05:20] alex___: Tbh, KDE is built in :p [05:20] alex___: I'm currently VGAed to the external; I'm getting an HDMI cable in a few days. Should the ATI/ubuntu be able to figure out what's going on without me having to do much of anyt'ing? [05:20] quinton: either wine or dualboot [05:20] quinton: you can run photoshop with linux (wine) [05:20] does dmesg output get reset on every boot or is there something left from previous bootups? [05:20] JoAnneThrax: Theoretically. I've never actually tried it, but it should =P [05:20] ARMENIAN: You know the release candidate is a legit release and is legal to use until march 2010 right? [05:21] quinton: All you have to install in gnome is the settings manager [05:21] blognewb: touch simply creates a blank file, apt-get update will update apt-get with all the packages in the repositories that you ahve defined and I am not sure what the apt-get -u aptitude does. perform man apt-get and see for yourself. [05:21] iceroot: Can't get CS4 to boot right. Crashes on splash screen [05:21] alex___: Amarok. xD [05:21] quinton: huh? [05:21] dpreacher: i think dmesg is redone after every boot but I am not sure. [05:21] quinton: u get more of the flashy stuff in gnome with compiz and it uses less resources :P plus more advanced [05:21] quinton: using wine 1.x? beacuse of the possibility to run photoshop, wine was using a new version number (1.x instead of 0.x) [05:21] alex___: Amarok is KDE only, right? [05:22] quinton: No... [05:22] quinton: yeah, but whose gonna deal with all the cd key games they play :P [05:22] ARMENIAN: w/e :p [05:22] iceroot: I think that was CS2 only. I haven't got CS4 running with the latest release. [05:22] quinton: as long as we're on linux :P [05:22] quinton: you can run 99% of KDE apps on gnome and 99% of gnome apps on KDE lol... TBH which manager you use really doesn't matter anymore these days... the only diff is the default settings ;) [05:22] CCC is telling me that I have only on desktop enabled, and I can't configure xinerama until I've Configured another in the Display Manager... [05:22] alex___: Good to know, I wasn't really aware :P [05:23] Where, prey tell, is the display manager? :) [05:23] ARMENIAN: exactly :D [05:23] quinton: if i am correct als photoshop-versions are running but but never tested, because i am not a designer and gimp + inkscape are ok for me [05:23] JoAnneThrax: Um... halfway up the screen in CCC =P [05:23] iceroot: Ugh. GIMP. I tested PS4 a lot, I've used Winetricks and nothing has worked. [05:23] mazda01_ i was thinking so too...i see some ipv6 audit messages everytime from named, whereas i have disabled ipv6 lookups on bind. so I'm just checking why the problem persists and how recent was the last entry. coz each time there are like 564 entries. [05:24] alex___: Oh...that. I looked at that. I can't tell where to set it to two desktops... [05:24] quinton: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14318 running (status gold) [05:24] '~$ man umountfs; No manual entry for umountfs.' Why is there no manual page for umountfs? [05:24] JoAnneThrax: Click on it, then beside properties, click "Multi-Display" [05:25] Do you guys recommend installing ISPConfig 2 or 3? Is it true that 3 is still unstable? [05:25] JoAnneThrax: Then change that setting to Single(Independent Display) [05:25] whats a good tool to mass convert images from CLI? [05:25] melik: imagemagik [05:25] hi every body [05:25] does anyone know how to find out my username in mac os x? it's weird because I changed it from my full name to my first name in the users within preferences but at the command prompt it still says my full name. [05:25] iceroot: I read that, I did everything except idk how to gdiplus override [05:25] What does the letter 'f' stand for in the command 'fuser'? Is it 'file'? [05:26] i install disk-manager [05:26] melik: imagemagick [05:26] alex___: It's not giving me that option... [05:26] and when i click it it says There are no filesystems which you are allowed to mount or unmount. [05:26] Contact your administrator. [05:26] fuse - file system in user space ? or is that just a similer named thing? [05:26] JoAnneThrax: o.O? [05:26] what can i do? [05:26] JoAnneThrax: You have the latest version of CCC right? [05:26] how can i use it [05:27] please [05:27] iceroot: Ah okay I found it: winetricks -q gdiplus . DO i just put that in konsole? [05:27] hi [05:27] There's a "display configuration" box under "Multi-Display", but it just says "unknown" [05:27] Anyone have any ideas why when I try to change my password it just keeps having the loading mouse icon and never changes? [05:27] tkmr: I ought to. The computer is less than a week old. [05:27] quinton: sorry dont know, wine was working fine for my needs so i never used winetricks [05:27] rojas: sorry, do not use 'enter' key for punctuation. What is the problem? One line please. [05:27] iceroot: I think I figured it out. Thanks. [05:28] iwlist eth1 scan says inteface doesn't support scanning [05:28] rojas: install gparted [05:28] quinton: Winetricks? [05:28] wow i had to manually install like 7 dependencies just to install audacious [05:28] Is there a max password size in ubuntu or something? [05:28] alex__:Hm? [05:28] quinton: What's winetricks? [05:28] Do you guys recommend installing ISPConfig 2 or 3? Is it true that 3 is still unstable? [05:28] iwconfig says eth1 is IEEE 802.11 that is the only one with wireless extensions [05:28] oops [05:28] System > Administration > System Monitor > Processes shows a column 'Waiting Channel'. What is a 'waiting channel'? [05:29] alex___: Not AFAIK. How long is your PW? [05:29] ok i want to put the windows paricion on my desktop on xubuntu [05:29] quinton: Winetricks is like an addon for wine that will allow you to download things that windows applications need with just a few commands [05:29] tkmr: The one I'm trying to change it to is... 18 characters long [05:29] alex___: Winetricks is like an addon for wine that will allow you to download things that windows applications need with just a few commands [05:29] quinton: I see... [05:29] but, let me try with gparted [05:29] thanks wizzo58 [05:29] alex___: For example "sh winetricks dotnet20" would fetch and install MS .NET Framework 2.0 [05:30] alex___: or "sh winetricks ie6" for IE6 [05:30] quinton: Nice! [05:30] alex___: If there is a max character limit you haven't hit it. My pass is 20 characters. =) [05:30] rojas: sure [05:30] jedi06: if it doesn't support scanning than you wireless card doesn't support in my experience. you typed in sudo iwlist eth1 scan? [05:30] and thanks jeruvy [05:30] Okay... [05:30] tkmr: IDK it won't change it to that, so I wondered if there was a max of like 15 or something [05:30] jedi06: i mean. sudo iwlist eth1 scanning? [05:30] I don't know what I did, but now the Display Manager has a rectangle with "2:1" in it in the big blank space above everything else... [05:31] alex___: If there is a max character limit it's higher than 20 characters. [05:31] hey guys [05:31] darlykaiser: high. [05:31] tkmr: Then any ideas why I can't change my pass? =D lol [05:31] alex___: Maybe a file is corrupted or something of the like? [05:32] i need a good page that explains me well about how to erase ubuntu 9.04 to install ubuntu 8.10 [05:32] Oooh. I made CCC segfault [05:32] alex___: what is passwd ginving as error? [05:32] anyone know how to connect to a smb share that has a password with punctuation in it? it's something like smb://user:password@host/share but my password has an @ as well as a ! so it's not working. pleas ehelp [05:32] yup just figured out need sudo [05:32] iceroot: It isn't... it's just sitting there and the mouse has the loading icon on [05:32] darlykaiser: just install 8.10 and use the partition from 9.04 [05:32] alex___: passwd has no gui and so no mouse icon [05:33] alex___: just type passwd in the shell [05:33] Quality:2/5 Signal level:-78 dBm Noise level:-30 dBm [05:33] iceroot: I was using the gui lol [05:33] sorry but i can use gparted in xubuntu? isnt it just for gnome desktop? [05:33] mazda01_ try "" around it be only guess i have [05:33] darlykaiser: just pop in 8.10 and install it over 9.04. it's simple. especially if you don't need to save anything from 9.04 install. just overwrite it. [05:33] rojas: yes, you can [05:33] I did but i want to rid ubuntu 9.04 out my laptop [05:33] thanks. :) [05:33] rojas: you can install gnome or kde apps in xubuntu and about 99% of the time they work because they install the gtk or kde libs with the apps. [05:34] darlykaiser: if you installed 8.10 OVER 9.04 then 9.04 isn't on your system anymore. [05:34] Why is my question being ignored? [05:34] iceroot: Ok... if I do it in there it says my new pass must be diff than my old one?? [05:34] rojas: you can use every-app (kde, gnome, xfce4) with every desktop (kde, gnome, xfce4) just have to install some specific libs sometims (apt-get will do that for you) [05:34] how i can do this? [05:34] rojas: you could also boot up gparted live cd, and run it that way. [05:34] !repeat | apoleo12 [05:34] rojas: then you will have to setup Virtual Box and reset iup your WIndows on there.

[05:41] jerc: or is it a ubuntu-question like installing mysql? [05:41] darlykaiser: i think guided will do a dual boot setup because it doesn't think it should delete the other ubuntu install.

[05:49] I jsut installed sshguard [05:49] and i can't see it as being installed other then in the package manager... [05:50] neozonz: sometimes apps don't put themselves into the menu. you run it from the terminal or add it to the menu, if you;re running gnome then go to system, prefs, main menu. what does sshguard do anyway? [05:50] mazda01: these other folks were just kind enough to walk me through installing the (with jockey-gtk)...but even in amdcccle, I can't figure out how to configure the dual display. [05:50] mazda01: it helps against brute force attacks [05:51] the proprietary driver [05:51] mazda01: but the funny thing is I can't see it in terminal anywhere, i even tried locate sshguard [05:51] mazda01 : all i see from network settings in that path are just wired connection and point to point connection (both are faded out) and lspci : shows an atheros communications INC AR5416 802.11abgn wireless pci adapter [05:51] mazda01_: sorry, had to go AFK for a bit; yeah i have X running [05:51] neozonz: i use denyhosts for that. it adds offending ip addresses to my hosts.deny file and they;ll never get in. it gets the offending ips from auth.log. try that. it's very easy to use and install.

[05:52] mazda01: thanks :) [05:52] oh sorry - did you guys got my last three line? [05:53] neozonz: np. the default config works out of the box I am pretty sure, you can change the values to make it more strict if you want. like you can make it so after 2 failed attempts it will add the offending ip to the hosts.deny file. just check out /etc/denyhosts.conf. i think that's what the file is named. [05:53] is there a way with apt-get you can just upgrade files (foe EXAMPLE update eg kernel 1.2 to 2.6 AND mc .1 to mc1 ) at SAME time after it checks for updates [05:53] k3Rn: don't know what virt-manager is so I can't help, sorry [05:54] I need some help on, Running Windows VISTA on Virtual Box.

[06:14] DVA5912, sudo -i or www-data [06:14] Zajjko: you can also add dns servers in your interfaces file located in /etc/network/ . i think you add them like this: dns-nameservers 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 after your other interfaces info [06:15] bodhizazen: well its already part of www-data. and its not getting sudo [06:15] Zajjko: i mean I use opendns dns servers as shown in my previous post. they are in the interfaces file as well as the resolv.conf file. [06:15] ahh, so you have to add DNS:es to both the resolv.conf and interfaces? [06:16] DVA5912: Can you please stop spam me in Q.

[06:17] mazda01__: Thanks! I'll try that when I get home. The weird thing is that wired connections work. However, that could still be an issue with DNS-forwarding from the router and that it just has issues with forwarding them on the wireless interface [06:17] DVA5912: DellaDuck: this isn't the place for interpersonal spats.

[06:19] i already did that to ghoti [06:20] sorry to him [06:20] can anybody help me to fix the problem to access ubuntu forums from firefox [06:20] And thus, peace was restored. :) [06:20] il kill him [06:20] The_Warlock: what is the problem you are having? [06:20] Ghoti__: the syntax for /ignore is client-dependent. Some clients require additional arcuments [06:20] Please stop it DVA5912: " [07:19:52] - you ass is mine" [06:20] Please stop it DVA5912: " [07:19:52] - i will kill you irl" [06:20] DVA5912: that statement is not weocome here [06:20] The_Warlock, Whats the problem? [06:20] mazda01, that didnt work before... [06:21] DellaDuck: you don't need to paste those messages here [06:21] * DVA5912 takes a cool down [06:21] Whats an irl [06:21] Okej, i'm sorry lstarnes. :-/ [06:21] DellaDuck: which client do you use? I might be able to help you put a working ignore on DellaDuck [06:21] er, DVA5912 [06:21] DELLADUCK STOP! [06:21] vise: "in real life" [06:21] i already ignored him [06:22] and im still geting his hacking pm [06:22] DVA5912: all messages? [06:22] DVA5912: which client do you use? [06:22] well not really hacking but still [06:22] Pidgin [06:22] !ops | DellaDuck DVA5912 [06:22] DellaDuck DVA5912: Help! Channel emergency!

[06:22] DVA5912: have you tried blocking? [06:22] damet delladuck [06:22] is there a meta package for kernel header files on ubuntu server? [06:22] DVA5912: I recall pidgin having incomplete irc support [06:22] DVA5912, whats going on === cah_batang is now known as ayu_imut [06:22] he has to be doing that on purpose [06:22] Ghoti__: I am not able to acces ubuntu forums [06:22] vise: ^^ [06:23] Now, the ignore seems to work out, thanks guys! :) [06:23] The_Warlock: what happens when you try? [06:23] its timing out [06:23] DBO: two people arguing and things going rather off topic in here as a result [06:23] (1:22:44 AM) DellaDuck: Received CTCP 'PING 1248330138' (to DVA5912) from DellaDuck [06:23] The_Warlock: Why ? [06:23] How about both of you just shut up and leave each other alone, so the rest of us can enjoy our Internets in peace? [06:23] there are about 50 of those [06:23] and abot 20 fingers [06:23] maxxist: probably linux-headers === cah_batang is now known as ayu_imut [06:23] DVA5912: /quote mode DVA5912 +C [06:23] The_Warlock: timeout, sounds like a connnection problem. Can you tell us how your connecting? [06:23] DVA5912: that should block CTCPs if it works correctly [06:23] page doesnt open...after some time i get a network time out [06:23] stea: so you ran the modprobe ath_pci and it returned nothing? then you ran lsmod | grep ath_pci and that didn't return anything either? what about this command: lshw -C network [06:23] hes gone now DVA5912, lets get back on track now =) [06:23] howto mount local folder on local system in ubuntu [06:24] but when i access the same page from my mac using firefox i can access [06:24] noly the ubuntu box creates the problem [06:24] they stoped [06:24] lstarnes, thanks. it was linux-headers-server [06:24] that anoying sound is.... Gone! :D [06:24] zahid: what do you mean mount local folder? if it's local, it should already be mounted? [06:24] DVA5912: just stop making comments about it [06:25] Jeruvy: i use the same office connection for both mac and the ubuntu [06:25] yeah. and now to my problem [06:25] let suppose i am using nfs server and want to mount nfs shared folder on nfs server [06:25] DVA5912: if you're being annoyed, just ignore it [06:25] The_Warlock: do you use smb ever to connect to server in mac os x? [06:25] The_Warlock: is the ubuntu on a separate machine? [06:25] i ignored him [06:25] but they still came through [06:25] anyway [06:25] Jeruvy: yes ubuntu a separate box [06:25] mazda01 : network unclaimed. and then the atheros information [06:25] The user webmaster is a member of group www-data but im still not able to make write commands via ftp in the /var/www [06:25] mazda01 yes [06:25] I tried to make a .htaccess file and it doesn't seem to be working and now I can't read it, and also I can't rm it... any ideas? [06:26] DVA5912: pidgin lacks complete irc support [06:26] hey jerc are u here yet? [06:26] mazda01__: sorry no [06:26] im used to pidgin so... Ive used it for two years now [06:26] The_Warlock: can you pastebin your 'ifconfig' output ? [06:26] im wating your answer [06:26] DVA5912: I'd recommend a more secure protocol than ftp, such as sftp or ssh [06:26] DVA5912: what are the permissions on /var/www? [06:27] mazda01, i didnt know it was going to be this confusing... i just found out how to upgrade to 8.10 and am starting that right now. [06:27] stea: what does ifconfig return? [06:27] lstarnes: ssh? i can copy files over via ssh? [06:27] DVA5912: scp and sftp are both tools used for copying files via ssh [06:27] Howdy [06:27] DVA5912: there's also rsync [06:27] stea: ok but if you're going to upgrade, just go all the way to jaunty while you're at it as they fixed many issues with pulseaudio and I am sure the wireless support only gets better. [06:27] Jeruvy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/225996/ [06:28] mazda01: i using nfs server and want to mount nfs shared folder on nfs server [06:28] well i have an intel graphics card and lots of people are having problems with jaunty mazda01 [06:28] The_Warlock: ok you have no ipv4 address assigned thats the issue [06:28] zahid: ah, that's not a local folder then. have you followed a guide on using NFS? [06:28] i just searched the forum trying to find an answer on this... [06:29] mazda01: i have searched much but all invain [06:29] how can i mount windos partition of windos in xubuntu please? [06:29] stea: i already gave you the link for using that wifi card and ubuntu. it deals with compiling madwifi drivers from scratch or using ndiswrapper. [06:29] Jeruvy: i thought the IP was a IP v4 [06:29] windows partition in xubuntu sorry [06:29] how do i enable it? [06:30] rojas: are you sharing a folder on windows? do you have simple file sharing on or not. is it winxp or what? [06:30] The_Warlock: try 'sudo ifup eth0' [06:30] mazda01 - thanks for your help. that looks like a very tedious thing ! [06:30] mazda01, really thanks though for the patience [06:30] but i am able to access the net [06:31] Jeruvy: its only that website i am not able to access [06:31] Jeruvy, He has an IPv4 IP enabled according to that ifconfig [06:31] mazda01 - i am about 1min away from downloading the 8.10 upgrade, it will need to install though - this i am connected via a hard line [06:31] ok, so how do i add my user to the /var/www stuff? [06:31] mazda01: will you like to give me the link about nfs [06:31] yes its xp, i am really novate in linux, how can i know ifim shaing a folder [06:31] Ç? [06:31] stea: you shouldn't be scared at compiling from source. it's part of linux sometimes. this would be a perfect to dive in. just follow it step by step and i am sure it'll work out for you. i remember the first time I compiled from source. I was so scard and it turned out to be so easy. [06:31] Dessan: but it is not up [06:31] better yet. how do i add my user to group www-data [06:31] DVA5912: sudo gpasswd -a username groupname [06:31] sudo usermod -a -G www-data you [06:32] wo, which one [06:32] either should work [06:32] rojas: if you don't know if you're sharing a folder in winxp then I don't know if I can help. have you goggled this? it's merely right clicking on a folder in windows explorer and going to sharing and security and telling it to share the folder and allowing everyone either read only access or write access or whatever you want. [06:33] Anybody help me regarding nfs share on nfs server [06:33] means mounting [06:33] Sure zahid [06:33] What's your problem? :-) [06:33] DVA5912, you need to log out and back in though for your new group to take affect [06:33] DVA5912: Mate, can you please stop your CTCP-querys hehe. :) [06:33] hmm. So i'm running virtual box... but Im using a macbook pro [06:34] Hello. [06:34] and I have no right ctrl [06:34] ok now i get it [06:34] how do i un capture? lulz [06:34] hello [06:34] i have configured nfs and want to mount that shared folder in ohter folder on Desktop of nfs server [06:34] lets not go through this again. DixxieC [06:34] How do I tell Ubuntu to shut down after a particular period of time? [06:34] Hmm DVA5912? [06:34] I don't know [06:34] hey guys. is it possible to use mdadm to raid together a bunch of truecrypt partitions? [06:34] Is it you David? :D [06:34] DixxieC, please stop [06:34] dippyskoodlez, you might want to ask on #vbox.. I use vbox and have never come across that issue.. [06:35] I don't physically have a right ctrl [06:35] lol [06:35] zahid: I said I'd help you. have you defined your exports file, have you made your mount points in the remote computers fstab file? you need to follow a guide, here you go: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/nfs-server-and-client-configuration-in-ubuntu.html i doubt someone is going to hold your hand the entire way. i'll help if you get stuck on something [06:35] how do I tell my laptop to play music with the screen shut? [06:35] dippyskoodlez, I know.. but #vbox might have a solution [06:35] DELE index.html [06:35] permission denied... [06:35] change the defaults in vbox to left control or shift [06:35] it hs the host key [06:35] dippyskoodlez, ^^ [06:36] It's captured right now lol >_< [06:36] mazda01: yes mount on remote clients [06:37] Weird. Before I had over 1100FPS in glxgears, now I try it, and it's just over 600FPS. I have UXA enabled in xorg.conf [06:37] dippyskoodlez, well, lol [06:37] zahid: and whats the problem? [06:37] handicap device speak to laptop "play musik with screen shut?" [06:37] mazda01: pc_name:/shared folder name /home/username/Desktop/foldername [06:37] dippyskoodlez, fire up vbox File -Preferances -> input [06:37] change the host key [06:37] danget. im part of www-data and ive reloged in but i still can not delete or make files/dir in /var/www [06:38] http://www.guvnr.com/web/web-dev/setup-unmanaged-vps-newbies-v-p-s-bible/#index [06:38] cooper77z, Change power options to not do anything when your screen is shut [06:38] Is Google APps free? like postfix? [06:38] zahid: if you defined your exports file on the NFS server, then just define your fstab entries on the client. something like : 192.168.0.3:/media/500gb/recordings /media/500gb/recordings nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr [06:38] thank you vise [06:39] mazda01: on clients it works but on nfs server not [06:39] I don't need an mp3 player now [06:40] blognewb, Thats like asking if black is black when its another color. Its a free service, but you don't own it (or your data even) [06:40] Following the instructions for basic Authentication found here http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/auth.html [06:40] I cannot figure out where to put the .htaccess file [06:40] is change power options under administrative? [06:40] mazda01: exports fiel ---- /data_nfs/medical_data/ 192.168.1.0/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check) [06:40] cooper77z, System->preferences->power options [06:40] Dessan: i don't own postfix if i host it locally? [06:40] doing [06:41] "These directives may be placed in a .htaccess file in the particular directory being protected, or may go in the main server configuration file, in a section, or other scope container." [06:41] pleeeeeaaaassee [06:41] blognewb, Thats my point, you do own it if you host it locally. Google owns your data if you use Apps [06:41] Dessan: well Apps isn't free at all for business purposes [06:41] Perfect, I have wanted to do that so long, hurray! [06:41] mazda01: on nfs server fstab file ----/data_nfs/medical_data /home/useradd/Desktop/medical_data 0 0 [06:41] duckwars_: it depends on what directories you need to require access for [06:41] duckwars_, root is in /var/www [06:42] so what directory do you want to protect ? [06:42] blognewb, Dessan please continue this discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic [06:42] thanks vise [06:42] mazda01: on client it works but on nfs server not [06:42] lstarnes: i couldnt speak yet via defocus [06:42] If you have root access, probably best to put it in apache config rather then use .htaccess, imo [06:42] well what I did was, I put soft links in /var/www which are links to files on a USB hard drive connected to the server [06:42] symbolic links [06:42] blognewb: just wait a few minutes [06:42] zahid: what do you mean it doesn't work on server? the server is sharing out those folders. [06:43] zahid: you should the same thing on the client if you mounted them correctly as you see on the server [06:43] ok this is anoying me like crazy [06:43] If you want to protect http://your_server.com/foo [06:43] im part of the www-data group, and yet still no permision to manage files [06:43] put it in /var/www/frr [06:43] put it in /var/www/foo === kg4cna_ is now known as kg4cna [06:44] DVA5912: it depends on what the permissions are on /var/www and the files in it [06:44] I need general help here with Startup Items. I added this command (what I need to start compiz) to my startup items, but compiz doesn't start. Running this command manually starts compiz fine. How do I get this to run? "LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 INTEL_BATCH=1 compiz --replace --indirect-rendering --sm-disable ccp &" [06:44] zahid: my exports file looks like this: /var/lib/mythtv 192.168.0.0/24(rw,no_root_squash,async) [06:44] what tells the permisions of /var/www ls -a? [06:44] DVA5912: ls -la [06:44] yes DVA5912 [06:44] here's the thing though, in /var/www I used softlinks to server up a file somewhere else, so I tried putting the .htaccess file in the file that the soft link points to, but that didn't seem to work [06:45] ls -lA [06:45] DVA5912: the permissions of . equal that directory [06:45] =) [06:45] bodhizazen: -A does not include . or .. [06:45] bodhizazen: in this case . is needed [06:45] exactly LSD|Ninja [06:45] looks like its root accros the board [06:45] no wonder [06:45] ls -lA /var [06:45] so do i become a member of root or change those to www-data [06:45] mazda01: i did on client it works but no nfs server not work [06:46] use sudo DVA5912 [06:46] DVA5912: what user is the webserver running as? [06:46] Xuzz: those are all seperate commands? you could write a cash script and then just add that bash script to your startup items. [06:46] this is over ssh [06:46] sudo -i [06:46] bodhizazen: that's likely not necessary [06:46] DVA5913, dont let my admin catch you [06:46] DVA5912: are you using apache? [06:46] lol LSD|Ninja [06:46] yes [06:46] lol lstarnes [06:46] apache2 [06:47] DVA5912: is apache2 running from the www-data account? [06:47] unless you want to type sudo over and over =) [06:47] I wanted to play music with my laptop closed in xp for months, It was so easy in ubuntu with community [06:47] i got a prblem [06:47] DuCKEr is being a baby [06:47] cooper77z, Even in xp it's the same way.. But there's no such 'instant support' community for xp.. ;) [06:48] that is the same person as DVA5913 and DellaDuck [06:48] thanks again community [06:48] i dont know how to tell [06:48] DVA5912: just ignore it. It's not worth your attention, which is what it wants [06:48] hes keeps [06:48] DVA5912: try ps aux | grep apache2 | grep -v grep [06:48] inviting me to channels. poping up messages [06:49] hi all [06:49] my firefox keeps crashing [06:49] lstarnes: ok, got one root and the rest are www-data [06:49] i completely removed it using synaptic and then reinstalled [06:49] my battery only lasts for like 90 minutes though and it's one of those slim type external ones, I gotta get a better battery [06:49] still it's crashing [06:49] probably an extension or corrupt profile pt1989 [06:49] pt1989: have you tried firefox 3.0? [06:49] can someone ban his ip [06:49] hes harrasing me [06:49] DVA5912: it would probably be safe for /var/www to be owned by the user www-data and the group www-data [06:49] i'm using 3.0 and 3.5 [06:49] DVA5912: have you tried placing an ignore on the IP? [06:50] both crash with equal frequency [06:50] how [06:50] how to locate a corrupt profile ? [06:50] pt1989, Why are you using two in the first place? [06:50] DVA5912: there might be some plugins for pidgin for that [06:50] i got 3.5 from synaptic just to check out the newer version [06:50] let me go hacking. [06:50] pt1989, Just keep one.. that should work... [06:50] but the issue was before i even started using 3.5 [06:50] firefox -safe-mode [06:50] what's the most cost effective battery I can get for a dell inspiron 1000? [06:50] see if that helps [06:50] hey guys, I am running 9.04, and I have an old PHP app that is running on PHP4... I want to debug this locally - but php4 cannot install :( [06:51] can someone help me install a sis mirage 3 driver on ubuntu [06:51] pt1989, Remove both and put only one.. i am not sure both can work well together [06:51] pt1989: what add ons do you have? also, are you using the libflashsupport-nonfree? I heard that causes tons of problems. it's a bug. if you have pulseaudio installed correctly you shouldn't have to have that file installed to get flash to work in firefox. [06:51] bodhizazen, but no plugins/extensions right? [06:51] I got the universal slim type at a yard sale for like $3, I know that was a good deal [06:51] FUCK [06:51] yep === william is now known as Guest76324 [06:51] how do i block his ip [06:51] that is -safe-mode [06:51] !language | DVA5912 [06:51] DVA5912: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [06:51] okay, i tried making a test dir at var/www/yomom and then I put the .htaccess file in there and the server just grants full access to it? [06:51] mazda01__ i think so too [06:51] how to avoid it ? [06:51] IM SORRY HES TICKING ME OF [06:51] DVA5912: it might not be possible in pidgin [06:51] i need flash though [06:51] it it works, then it is your profile or an extension [06:52] if not, then it is ff :( [06:52] DVA5912: I know that it's possible in most dedicated irc clients, including xchat and irssi [06:52] you may also get an error message [06:52] bodhizazen, i get no error message [06:52] DVA5912: use Xchat or even better Konversation :) [06:52] just shutsdown [06:52] can i just report him some where for the moment. im not using linux right now. im on my laptop [06:52] i must be impossible [06:52] it must [06:52] mazda01, i didnt get any help from that [06:52] makes it hard pt1989 [06:52] DVA5912: go to #ubuntu-ops and complain about him [06:53] ok [06:53] bodhizazen any alternatives to adobe plugin ? [06:53] is there a driver installer/scanner for linux? [06:53] DVA5912: since your offtopic in here [06:53] evance ? [06:53] sebsebseb, DVA5912: #ubuntu-ops cannot do anything about PMs [06:53] oh, for flash ? [06:53] lstarnes: then can maybe depends [06:53] sebsebseb, DVA5912: you could try freenode staff (see #freenode) but they will recommend ignoring the IP [06:53] bodhizazen, yes [06:54] he keeps inviting me to a channel named of stuf. now its hack me lamer im going to freenode though. this problem will have to wait [06:54] any info on that? [06:54] is there a shortcut for opening up the system monitor? [06:55] no pt1989 I use the adobe .deb or .rpm [06:55] there is some transitional package... [06:55] anyone? [06:55] I have an SMB question: I am following the directions on https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/samba-fileprint-security.html, and I'm confused about setting up the user security. Are the users listed supposed to be the ubuntu server's userbase, or is it supposed to be the username of the person logged into the workstation that wants access to the server's samba share? [06:55] is there a driver installer/scanner for linux? [06:55] ARMENIAN, Create a shortcut on your desktop or panel.. by right clicking it in the menu and selecting the option u want... [06:56] vise: ohh so there's not hotkey? :P ok [06:56] does the svdp digital camera encode sd chips that hardy can read? [06:56] ARMENIAN: Do you mean like that it's called gnome-system-monitor? [06:56] Amarst, users on the server [06:56] alex___: yep :) [06:56] ARMENIAN, I think you can even do a hotkey.. not sure [06:56] you then log in with that user name and sama pw [06:56] ARMENIAN: Or did you mean like ctrl alt delete on windows? [06:57] alex___: i belive it's teh same thing [06:57] samba user is not the same as a system user (log in) [06:57] the system monitor is like doing ctrl + alt + del in windows [06:57] how can I pad the output of paste? [06:57] I got two files and I want them interlaced, but I also want it padded [06:57] ARMENIAN: Yes, but I meant did you mean a key combination to open it, or the name of the program to open it in alt+f2/terminal [06:57] uknow linux drivers for printers and scanners are often automatically detected when you install if not go to makers wewb page for help [06:57] hmm, anyone know how I can get php4 on ubuntu 9.04? [06:58] codeshah: I don't think you can.

What I'd do if i were you is to have a look (or get someone) to examine the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file for errors (marked by (EE)) and work that way up.

[08:01] Mike94287: did you disable compiz? [08:01] mazda01__: Technically you can. [08:01] Cronos, i'm newbie with Linux :/ === jimk is now known as cariboo907 [08:02] Loopback generates odd results, but the external IP you can. [08:02] It's disabled right now even though I don't remember ever disabling it. [08:02] yeah you can [08:02] Jeruvy^ [08:02] using kde or gnome leoneof? [08:02] Can I use apt-get to install erlang R13B (it seems to install R11B by default)? [08:03] I'm trying to get my Radeon 9200 to work with 3d support (according to the guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver it should have support). User unop kindly pointed me to check out EE-errors in my Xorg.0.log - there's only one error, which reads "Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)". I'm surprised it talks about NVidia, not Radeon - could this point to the source of my problem? My previous display adapter that br [08:03] Cronos, sorry i don't know, it is Ubuntu i downloaded from ISO DVD , i think it is gnome [08:03] Mike94287: hmm. Any luck with the other consoles mazda01 suggested? [08:03] ok menu is on top if it is go to system-admin [08:05] rishav: your running nmap on an internal ip address when you need to be running nmap on your external ip to see what ports are listening to the outside world. you need to run netstat -pant to see what ports are listening. also, there's a website that will run namp again your computer, i think it's called shields up or soemthing like that [08:05] Jeruvy: I'm able to access them but what should I do when I get to them? I already tried sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop and start in tty1 but it didn't help [08:06] Hello, I'm back and I've had an idea! While #winehq was totally dead, I did see something in the welcome message that clicked with something I saw earlier.... [08:06] Someone said that they got a black screen with Comp... er.... Crap, I can't remember. Comp-something-z enabled, and the winehq message said not to run wine with that thingie [08:07] Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about? lol [08:07] Mike94287: I'm failing to connect the dots with your 'windows' issue and the problem. [08:07] Compiz? Something like that [08:07] Jeruvy: I would take a picture but unfortunately the print screen dialog doesn't show when I press my print screen button now [08:08] Anyone here use Wine at all that might have a few ideas? [08:08] When I tried running metacity in tty1 I got an error saying "Window manager error: Unable to open x display" [08:09] How do I change directories to a hidden folder in the terminal? i've tried CD and it says teh directory doesnt exist, when it comes up as ".passwd" in ls -a === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [08:09] Mike94287: you can't run metacity from tty1 bcause X isn't running on that console. you ahve to run metacity from tty7. [08:10] I can't access tty7 [08:10] Mike94287: Ah ^^ [08:10] JamesHoldsworth: .passwd is a file not a directory then [08:10] Mike94287: because you're most liekly already in tty7 [08:10] i thought that would make it a hidden directory? [08:10] i have a logitech vx revolution mouse. my dad has an older logitech mouse, and on his ubuntu 9.04 power manager reports the battery status of his mouse. gnome-power-manager says nothing about my mouse, even though it is newer and awesomer. anyone know why? [08:10] How would I access it? [08:10] JamesHoldsworth: what does 'ls -alF' say about it? [08:11] its owned by root [08:11] and was made a year ago [08:11] Well, I'll mess around in the kitchen and try back in a bit here. [08:11] mazda01: I'll try restarting and opening terminal then trying to run metacity [08:11] Ravahan try stop compiz when you use wine you can install an applet to do that from synaptics [08:11] ok [08:11] JamesHoldsworth: if it's directory you can by cd .passwd, if it's a file you can by using vim or vi or other text editor [08:12] JamesHoldsworth: I'm interested in what the output of 'ls -alF' shows at the beginning about it. Something like "-rw-r--r--"? [08:12] JamesHoldsworth: owned by root, not your concern anymore then ;) [08:12] JamesHoldsworth: when you run ls -a on it, does it have a d in the very begining, if not, then it's a file not a directory [08:13] hi.. can anyone tell me what is the minimum sd card requirement for flashing in koolu on the neo freerunner [08:14] so, if I were to manually edit my xorg.conf file (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1773624), should amdcccle be able to deal with it afterwards, or should I be worried about messing that up? [08:15] JoAnneThrax: not sure what you're asking but before changing any system file, I always make a backup that way you can at a minimum boot up a live cd, then replace the bad file with your backup file. I just make a copy of the file with _original after it before I change it. good luck [08:16] GOODNIGHT TO ALL. [08:17] Okay I was able to get my window controls to show again, however how can I keep them showing? If I close terminal they'll go away again. [08:17] i have a logitech vx revolution mouse. my dad has an older logitech mouse, and on his ubuntu 9.04 power manager reports the battery status of his mouse. gnome-power-manager says nothing about my mouse, even though it is newer and awesomer. anyone know why? [08:18] Mike what did you do to make it work i got lost on other chanels [08:19] Cronos: I used the command metacity in terminal instead of in tty1, I wasn't able to access it before because my windows were covering up my menus. [08:19] s1gmab3ta i had to install hidpoint to get more advanced features of my keyboard to work [08:20] s1gmab3ta not sure if it help you for that i was trying to get special keys to work [08:20] mazda01: thanks; I already backed it up... [08:20] SnakDoc: i'll look into it [08:20] so you have a terminal window if you close all go messed up is that terminal runing something? [08:20] mazda01: This would be a lot easier with CCC, but it's not letting me configure it to do dual monitors [08:21] Cronos: yes [08:21] Oh wait, I was able to get it to stay by running it in alt F2 [08:21] However now I have a new problem, Compiz is no longer working. [08:22] but your system is im shure someone will help w compiz [08:23] s1gmab3ta http://www.hidpoint.com/supported_devices.html its supported [08:23] Cronos: Okay thanks for your help [08:23] someone here use ubuntu 9.04 with videocache (www.cachevideos.com) ? [08:23] the thing is know why is that terminal showing [08:23] why are there no scripts starting with 'K' in /etc/rc{1,2,3,4,5}.d? [08:24] Hi guys! I have a MS keyboard, which by default sends alternate codes for the functions key, and in order to get the usual codes I must press a F buttun every time I boot. Is there any trick in order to get the function key working as expected automatically? thank you! [08:24] what didi you change that make that problem start? [08:24] colloguy: because those modes are used for starting, not stopping [08:24] someone here use ubuntu 9.04 with videocache (www.cachevideos.com) ? cause after a fresh install of ubuntu it's not working anymore!? Could someone give some tips? [08:24] Cronos: I didn't change anything, the screen just went black and it looked like I was in a full screen terminal [08:24] lstarnes: where is the stopping handled? :] [08:25] paolo was just talking about that look at http://www.hidpoint.com/supported_devices.html [08:25] colloguy: I think it's handled automatically by init switching starting and stopping when exiting a runlevel [08:25] wow no uupdates no nothing that is realy extrage [08:25] lstarnes: oh cool [08:25] colloguy: or it might be handled by the target runlevel [08:26] Cronos: The really strange thing is that this isn't the first time that full screen terminal has showed up, it first showed up when I turned my fan off but nothing happened that time and now when I turn my fan off again this happened. [08:26] I don't see what a fan sitting on my desk would have to do with anything though :s [08:26] SnakDoc, I can't understand, that page doesn't say anything [08:27] paolo shows supported devices by that program [08:27] SnakDoc: doesn't seem like this program supports my mouse nearly as well as they'd have us believe [08:27] it says i dont have a mouse [08:27] lol [08:27] s1gmab3ta you unplug it and replug it in ? [08:27] well you have to think on a overcharge on the electrical system that may damage some of youre hardware but i never head from a case [08:29] mike have you check your logs for X errors? === virlomi_ is now known as vir1omi [08:29] SnakDoc: yes [08:29] s1gmab3ta try to refresh page close app unplug device plug back in open app back up [08:30] SnakDoc: negative, i've done every combination of those things [08:30] try to manual set device ? [08:31] this app isn't for me anyway it doesnt seem to have anything to do with the battery [08:31] see device selection at top hit that and i will select device [08:31] I'm trying to get my Radeon 9200 to work with 3d support by following the guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver. My Xorg.0.log has only one error, which reads "(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)". I'm wondering why "NVidia", since I have a Radeon card - my previous card was NVidia. Could this point to the source of my problem? Any idea on how to proceed? [08:32] hi all [08:32] xDD [08:32] va dau la muiie [08:32] thanks anyway [08:33] good evening, im having some troubles setting up my video card on ubuntu [08:33] i have a geforce 9400gt 1gb [08:33] s1gmab3ta sry about that haven't had my bats get low in mine to see since i found it but it added function for special keys figured would keep battery to was suppose to be drivers for all [08:33] s1gmab3ta atleast thats what i thought [08:33] and it only allows for a 640x480 resolution [08:33] can somebody help? [08:34] taruz you try restricted hardware drivers ? [08:34] the drivers are installed [08:34] you reboot after that ? [08:34] hey guys, i need a little advice. I have a webcam that serves images on 192.168.1.13/image.cgi - Is it possible to write a script to download an image from the camera, run Image Magic on it to clean up the file (the camera produces messed up headers for the jpeg) then overwrite the image automaticly? Sort of like a shell script [08:34] i have the nvidia config thingy in my system > administration [08:34] i rebooted, after that [08:34] i only get that resolution [08:35] and you trying to use nvidia config to change settings and it want let you ? [08:35] i tried using the config and it only lets me change between 640x480 and 320x240 [08:35] i added a Modes line with the supported resolutions to my xorg.conf file [08:35] but it didnt worked [08:36] only other thing i know is to edit config file [08:36] what should the xorg.conf file would have to look like? [08:36] what in the world is this! [08:37] this is like some underground hacking mess right here [08:37] the source of the elite hackers leads here...jesus... [08:38] taruz http://pastebin.org/3730 look at that think thats all you need [08:38] i need to disable the automatic networking stuff in ubuntu [08:38] bluntman225: sure it's possible. It could be done with a shell script I imagine, or a simple program using python or command-line php. [08:38] Scorpio: hardly [08:38] don't try to fool me with your trickery. Just look at this place. It hacker paradise [08:39] Scorpio: if you want it to be, sure [08:39] only time i hack is when i wake up in the morning..:D [08:39] thing is i have on my pc the PCI-e geforce card and the intel integrated one [08:39] Scorpio: do you have an ubuntu issue? [08:39] can i get them both to work? [08:39] like in windows? [08:40] If i want it to be? You guys are clever with your hacking languages to confuse and divert me. [08:40] taruz: sure [08:40] !dualhead | taruz [08:40] taruz: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [08:40] ubuntu issue? what is that a Hacking Magizine [08:40] bluntman225: you can use seomthing like wget to get the image, then run imagemagic with the parameters you want. I assume shell script would be enough. [08:40] !ubuntu | Scorpio [08:40] Scorpio: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [08:41] Scorpio: this is the official support channel for ubuntu, please help, ask a question, be quiet or leave. [08:41] my god, so the plot thicken doesnt it ubottu? [08:41] Ileden: Thanks man, Im going to try shell script. Do you know of a program that can clean image headers? [08:41] bluntman225: and if you want it to happen periodically, you use cron table to run the script [08:42] geez im so lost with that [08:42] :p [08:42] why does xfce use 253 MB of ram whereas gnome uses 234? [08:42] anyone have an idea why my /dev/psaux could be broken? did a kernel upgrade (which hangs at mounting root) so i booted the old kernel again but cat /dev/psaux stays blank and my touchpad therefore doesn't work === mr is now known as Guest35724 [08:42] bluntman225: I don't know, but I suppose there should be some programs for that [08:42] hey action parsnip [08:42] Cronos: I saw that-- Thanks. I installed the configuration manager, which was the only thing I saw at first glance that looked like it'd work. I looked at it after the install, but didn't see anything that simply said "turn this thing off" so I didn't mess with it for now. [08:42] taruz: use tab to complete names ;) [08:42] thanks! [08:42] Would "sudo invoke-rc.d compiz stop" stop compiz? [08:43] Ravahan: try it [08:43] how do i make ubuntu to display on more resolutions [08:43] im currently in 640x480 and its ridiculously small [08:43] taruz: you need to configure video drivers [08:43] ok, i installed the restricted drivers, rebooted and i have this small resolution [08:43] ActionParsnip: heh, good point. I guess I'm just scared of screwing something up here. Gonna give it a whirl! [08:43] Don't worry taruz the basics of the program consists of 19,622 components in which are diverted into smaller pixals to upload the frame-rate to perform optimal performance in such cases of inverted diagrams on a scale of perportioned value. Understand? [08:44] i have the nvidia config thing on system > administration [08:44] Ravahan: you can always reboot if it goes weird [08:44] taruz: then run: gksudo nvidia-settings [08:44] hi all [08:44] im getting no grub options [08:44] taruz: if it says you arent running any drivers thn run: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 [08:44] taruz: and reboot [08:45] it just automatically boots into ubuntu [08:45] i have the nvidia-glx-180 installed [08:45] ActionParsnip: Eh, looks like no. I kinda expected this.. Just a command I used to stop gmd earlier when I was installing some NVIDIA drivers (which was a big mistake >.<) [08:45] why does xfce use 253 MB of ram whereas gnome uses 234? [08:45] taruz: cool [08:45] serius [08:45] someone here said http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=293180 'Place a # before the hidden option to see GRUB at boot time' [08:45] ActionParsnip: It refers to /etc/init.d/[process] it looks like [08:45] but i already have one there [08:45] lancerocke: then edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change the timeout to something longer [08:46] ActionParsnip: i know, but it wont give me other resolutions other than 640 and 320 [08:46] ActionParsnip: Any idea what command I could use to try and halt compiz? [08:46] Taruz: I beg to differ on Actionparsnip's theory of running ANY driver, you run the risk of completly frying the whole program with too many functions simultaneously running at once. [08:46] Ravahan: metacity --replace & [08:47] Scorpio: which program will be "fried"? [08:47] ActionParsnip, i did and it doesnt work http://pastebin.com/m37e14b10 === mr is now known as Guest81051 [08:47] lancerocke: ok,what if you cange the timeout to say 10 [08:47] ActionParsnip: Well that certainly did something. Let me see what happens when I boot PlayOnline... Also, what do I type to re-enable it? [08:48] Ravahan: compiz --replace & [08:48] ActionParsnip: that all depends on the main-frame of the mother board. It could just be a glitch of one's computer OR it could simply be a internal function embedded deep within the board to crash and destroy the program [08:48] ok ill try it [08:48] Ravahan: if you use alt+f2 you don't need '&' [08:48] ## timeout sec [08:48] # Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically booting the default entry [08:48] # (normally the first entry defined). [08:48] timeout 10 [08:48] ? [08:48] lancerocke: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:48] lancerocke: yes, just don't flood the channel [08:48] ActionParsnip: Cool. Looks like that didn't fix it though... [08:49] ActionParsnip, thanks brb [08:49] ActionParsnip: Still, something learned! [08:49] Scorpio: so which program will it "fry", you havent quantified it yet [08:51] < hate wine [08:52] all people hate wine but we useit :P [08:52] ActionParsnip: So what does that command actually do? Replace the compiz process with a different windows manager? [08:52] gogeta: Just goes along with hating M$ [08:53] Well, Wine would be totally awesome if I could just get it to work [08:53] Ravahan: it replaces the window manager with whatever you specify [08:53] lol [08:53] Hello :P I am about to get a netbook and I am wondering if I make a fresh (entire disk) install of UNR, will GRUB be there and what options will there be to select? :) Thanks. [08:53] ActionParsnip: i added a modes "1024x768" to my xorg.conf file, but didnt work [08:53] taruz: takes a bit more than that. I can give you my xorg.conf if you'd like, I use nvidia @ 1024x768 too [08:53] hey, do 3G USB Sticks work with ubuntu? [08:53] ActionParsnip: Ah, cool [08:54] please do [08:54] Is anyone here familiar at all with getting games to run in Wine? === apachelogger is now known as birthdaylogger [08:54] taruz: http://pastebin.com/fb39f49c [08:54] I'm posetive I'm just doing some goofy newbie error [08:54] enboyjr im on a nettbook dual boot and the instalation give me linux and windows boots no problems [08:54] Ravahan: depends which game [08:54] cube|hospital: it should work, but there's only one way to find out [08:54] Actionparsnip: to name a few, Automatix, Beagle, Gnome Deskbar Applet, VLC, Firefox, amaroK, CheckGmail, Add NTFS Read/Write support, XGL/Compiz = Purdiest [08:55] isnt cedega or something call like that to run ms games on linux [08:55] Ravahan: you may check the wine application db for compatibility with your app http://appdb.winehq.org/ [08:55] Scorpio: so installing nvidia drivers via apt will damage ntfs-3g? [08:55] Ravahan: The best place to ask about games/wine would be in #winehq the people there should be the best ones to help you [08:55] ActionParsnip: Well, I'm trying at the moment to get FFXI to run. Its the top listed app in appdb's Gold list, so I'm thinking it /should/ work [08:55] Scorpio: i doubt that heavily [08:55] Boohbah: lol which is? just trying it out? [08:55] Ravahan: make sure you use wine from the wine repo: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb [08:55] cube|hospital: yes [08:55] ActionParsnip: I got Wine through Synaptic-- no good? [08:55] ActionParsnip, thanks that worked but what if i wanted it to automatically show me the grub menu list and not boot to anything unless i chose? [08:56] Ravahan: if you scroll down the app in appd, you will see hints on files you may need to place on your system from the web [08:56] ActionParsnip: Under ideal circumstances, most certiantly [08:56] Any GStreamer application(totem, rhythmbox) will not play any sound, or attempt to. They just seem to hang... I can get input/output working on an Adobe Flash application just fine. [08:56] What would be the cause of this? [08:56] Hi, I let the update thing run and now my display wont go to any higher resolution than 1024x768. How can I make it go higher again? [08:56] ok lol [08:56] Scorpio: the worst that will happen is no x server will load, leaving the user in command line. ntfs-3g will certainly work without an x server [08:56] doubt is the creation of destruction. You should know that more then anyone ActonParsnip [08:56] Ravahan: try te one on the wine repo [08:57] ActionParsnip: I had replaced those from a windows install on a different partion np and registered them... What I'm getting is a black screen when I open it. I can tell when I mouse over that the usual stuff is actually there, and I can hear the music... but I just can't see anything. [08:57] Ravahan: read the appdb entry, maybe someone is having the same issue [08:57] ActionParsnip: Someone who had a similar issue suggested it might be DirectX issues... So I googled some instructions to get DirectX9 installed and did those too [08:57] Ravahan: you don't install directx9 in wine [08:57] ActionParsnip: So now I've got a bunch of DLLs set to Native (Windows) [08:57] anybody using a 3g usb stick with ubuntu? [08:58] Ravahan: wine simulates the abstraction for directx [08:58] ActionParsnip: Well crap. [08:58] ActionParsnip: my monitor supports 1600x1200 can i change your resolution with that? [08:58] taruz: if you wish, sure [08:58] taruz: i need taht file as my CRT moonitor doesnt report mode lines, so I have to tell my system what the monitor can do [08:59] ActionParsnip: I'm starting to feel like I'm taking a shotgun to the jewels. This is incredibly frustrating. [08:59] Ravahan: try running winecfg and selecting a different OS, or a simulated desktop of a smaller size then your screen [08:59] ActionParsnip: i replaced it, will reboot, hope the x server wont crash [08:59] taruz: you can get it back using grub [08:59] ActionParsnip: I've not tried a simulated desktop at all, I'll give that a go and see if it makes a difference. [09:00] taruz: boot to recovery mode, fix graphics [09:00] ActionParsnip: ok [09:00] What are the default GRUB options on a fresh (mmm smells good) cup of Ubuntu 9.04 using the entire disk? [09:00] can some one tell me if ati radeon hd 2600 have problems with 3d in ubuntu 9.04???? [09:02] ActionParsnip: didnt work, i still have 640x480 [09:03] ActionParsnip: thing is this is a fresh install i havent updated anything, i have the 9.10 version [09:03] if i let the update manager do its thing, could this be fixed then? [09:04] System > Administration > System Monitor > Processes shows a column 'Waiting Channel'. What is a 'waiting channel'? [09:04] i'm start work with ubuntu but i'm not work with terminal please help me [09:04] taruz: get full updates: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [09:05] anyone know of a lightweight text editor that will colorize my code? [09:05] eboyjr: /boot/grub [09:05] is there any way I can revert the last updates the update manager did? it totally borked up my display [09:05] dan_: gedit or vim [09:06] dan_: does mousepad do it? [09:07] sash_, ah didnt know gedit had that option [09:07] ActionParsnip: Thank you:) but I mean the options found in the /boot/grub/menu.lst file by default. I'm going to guess and say Ubuntu, Ubuntu recovery, and memtest? [09:07] any way I can force it to the higher resolution? 1024x768 is just terrible with a high-rez lcd :( [09:07] hi all, is there any prebuilt packages of dovecot-1.2.1 for intrepid ? [09:08] eboyjr: as well as a few other lines, yes [09:08] !info dovecot intrepid [09:08] Package dovecot does not exist in intrepid [09:08] dahlia: reinstall your video drivers [09:08] ActionParsnip: Okay :) What lines might that be? Do you mean like when new kernels are installed [09:08] ActionParsnip: dovecot* will bring more results [09:09] saeed_: Just input your questions. [09:09] !info dovecot* intrepid [09:09] Package dovecot does not exist in intrepid [09:09] Has anyone here had a problem using NSE in Nmap-5.00? [09:09] lera_zed: have you tried getdeb? [09:09] ActionParsnip, you mean uninstall and reinstall? [09:09] moymoy: not yet, what is this ?

[09:11] meglo: no [09:11] meglo: sure, with breaks [09:11] meglo: i dont think so [09:12] ActionParsnip: Okay thank you. :) Youve been helpful. I was just curious because I am recommending Ubuntu NR to and I think GRUB is kinda unsightly :P I will set 'default 0', 'timeout 0' and 'hiddenmenu' :) [09:12] ActionParsnip, 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8600 GT (rev a1) [09:12] meglo: should really be 75-80 hz [09:12] ActionParsnip: I LOVE YOU!!! [09:13] I can either do 1024x768@60hz, or 800x600@85hz. How would I go about manually specifying the vertical sync and horizontal refresh rate for my monitor? It is incorrectly detected, so i'm 800x600@60hz... dpkg-reconfigure? [09:13] Ravahan: ? [09:13] i have an htpc antec fusion v2 with an lcd panel, and i was wondering how i can activate it so i can type something there of my own? [09:13] ActionParsnip: Updating to the beta worked!

Thanks so much for that. [09:14] dahlia: simply put, remove everything nvidia, then reinstall it [09:14] ActionParsnip: Just got an error updating though... Lets see what happens [09:14] kk [09:14] Ravahan: some apps like the older version though [09:14] Ravahan: wine is a bit ofa minefield [09:15] hello all [09:15] ActionParsnip: Hey, I'm glad windows is a little hard to use, it gives folk like me a job (when they're not moved overseas), but its really really nice to have a working alternative [09:15] how do I theme netbeans in ubuntu to look like native gnome apps? [09:16] Ravahan: thats the ticket, keeps me in a job too ;) [09:16] ActionParsnip: lol [09:17] ActionParsnip: i really dont know how to change the xorg.conf file, aron_ gave me a link, ill try to look it over, but i think i might just switch back to windows [09:18] taruz: you'll be battling with the file til you get a nice display [09:18] arizka === mr is now known as Guest96140 [09:18] how can I switch from gnome to xfce4?

Finally, I decided I'd just reinstall windows and pop on Linux while I was at it this week to give it a go. I like it so far, but it can be very frustrating too. I imagine that'l [09:18] My gstreamer apps(rhythmbox and totem) wont even attempt to play sound, even though other applications like Adobe flash can with my properly configured sound card. How should I go about solving this? [09:18] lesshaste: then log off, change session to xfce, log on [09:18] ActionParsnip, thanks.. then what do I need to do? [09:18] ActionParsnip, ah ok [09:18] thanks [09:19] sounds easy [09:19] lesshaste: it is [09:19] Ravahan: i stay away from those, they cause a tonne of bother [09:20] ActionParsnip: Definatly a double edged sword, as they say. [09:20] Ravahan: you'll find it hard as you probably have many years of windows experience but not much linux [09:21] olu9o [09:21] haiiii [09:21] im doing a bit of probing of my dedicated server (need to secure it a bit) ive noticed we have quite a few ports open that dont need to be [09:21] what is the best way to block all access to certain ports, unless at my ip address [09:21] dichhhhh pake b.indo dong ngomongnya [09:21] i wanted to leave :80 and :443 open [09:21] and maybe :22 open too (but disable root password) [09:22] anyone got any advice on securing up a server like this?

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).

[09:30] Zermus: what your langugae and dont spam [09:30] All my sound is working except for totem and rhythmbox. They seemingly load the file but refuse to play it. This happens with ogg/mp3/aac, and I have the proper codecs. What is wrong? [09:30] Zermus: opinions are like assholes? [09:31] ActionParsnip, I think the install/uninstall package of tomcat6 is not working, when removing tomcat6, it cannot remove /var/lib/tomcat6, complaining that the folder is not empty [09:31] ActionParsnip: should ufw be installed by default on my sever? [09:31] aeiou_: not sure, iptables will be though [09:31] aeiou_: it is installed but not activate [09:32] now that i have a geforce 9400gt working with ubuntu, i would like to use the integrated graphic card of my motherboard, how can i achieve that' [09:32] Help!!!

[09:46] dahlia: then run: gksudo nvidia-settings [09:46] speedhunt3r: use tune2fs, search its man page for the word "reserved" [09:46] jrib, the funny thing is it happened one day after updates...it wasn't like this before [09:47] dahlia: and set a res, then click "write to xorg.conf" [09:47] dahlia: it will then populate [09:47] kk, trying [09:47] dahlia: reopen the file and manually edit it [09:47] speedhunt3r: use Accessories -> Disk Usage Analyzer to find big files but root always had this reserved space [09:48] !minimal cd [09:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about minimal cd [09:49] !minimal [09:49] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD).

I'm kinda RAAAGE, since I can see folders when I do a little bit of them and then press tab, but it doesn't care about start-able files at all [11:19] HypothesisFrog: ah :) perhaps trothigar can help you [11:19] now im curious... I usually kill X or use a terminal, but that is pretty gay.. [11:19] GSF1200: That is what I am getting too I think. One screen goes dead the other stays on but blank (black screen) [11:19] GSF1200S i think i'll backup the /home partition and reinstall from start----thanks heaps for the advice tho [11:19] yeah, and its not ubuntu because im on arch [11:19] GSF1200: I am on a Geforce 9600GT card with 2.6.28-14 kernel... [11:19] ecolitan [11:20] i need a decent app for my minimal ubuntu ... got ideas ? [11:20] Cryptorchild, HypothesisFrog will do [11:20] you know you can setup a seperate /home right? [11:20] And the latest Nvidia drivers from Nvidia directly not from ubuntu repository. [11:20] Hello, i have a quick question. I am using UNR right now but i need to install kernel-2.6.30. can anyone point a healty way to install a new kernel [11:20] then you wouldnt need to backup anymore if shit like this happens [11:20] GSF1200S alread have /home on a seperate partition [11:20] cool.. should be easy [11:21] GSF1200S i just have fear from blowing away by accident :P [11:21] sorry i couldnt help you :( [11:21] haha, yeah [11:21] dekko... lemme dig a little and see what i can find [11:21] this is an X/nvidia gripe [11:21] GSF1200S it's all good, i dont have time for more troubleshooting anyway, have to go to schoo [11:21] ecolitan: Linux has no safety rails like that.... need to stay with Windows or OS X in that case. I run all three on this system :D [11:21] your on ubuntu and im on arch with a different kernel... [11:22] got ideas for my minimal ubuntu ? openbox or LXDE , decent softwares ... [11:22] ecolitan- out of the navy in 7 days and going to school- I know what you mean! [11:22] bye all [11:22] bye [11:22] Bye! [11:22] if powertop tells me that i should enable USB autosuspend, will that have any implications? [11:22] were both too late [11:23] ha ha :) [11:23] ok hold on dekko [11:23] I'm holding on for dear life here :D :D [11:23] Its not a BIG DEAL with the graphics card, but ANNOYING :-P [11:23] feels like a definite bug to me. [11:23] lxde or openbox ? or you have another idea for me ? [11:24] hey guys, just a quick question, I have just taken out my HD from my linux pc put it into my windows machine (it detects in the bios fine) but doesnt show up in windows.. is this a windows issue or what? i.e is it possible to read a linux HD in windows ? [11:25] hello? [11:25] i just got kicked or something.. xchat crashed like twice [11:25] hello :) [11:25] Kingsy101: possible, yes.. but you have to install third party drivers [11:25] Anyone here able to run games under wine well? Can you send me your xorg.conf files? I think I need to tweak mine [11:25] Kingsy101: there are drivers available for ext2 and perhaps ext3 [11:25] Slart - well I am on my windows PC atm with my HD plugged in what should I install ? [11:26] I think my HD is ext3 [11:26] Kingsy101 if it's ext2 or 3 there an application for that ... [11:26] anyone have experience using pppoe? im having trouble. [11:26] Kingsy101: ok, one sec [11:26] ext4 no hope for ya man [11:26] Kingsy101: have a look at this http://www.fs-driver.org/ [11:26] else ? even worse ... [11:26] I found out that changing the root passwd, i.e. setting it in persistent liveusb mode isn't possible [11:27] wtf? this is a serious bug, isn't it? [11:27] Slart - thats ext2 isnt it ? [11:27] anyidea how to fix that? is it locked or something [11:27] or4n9e: well.. there's this whole thing with root passwords and so on with ubuntu [11:27] richardcavell linux gaming is a hope I left a long time ago ... [11:27] !root | or4n9e [11:27] or4n9e: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [11:27] /etc/shadow gets updated but the system ignores it [11:27] GammaX: Please put a more specific question in this channel. [11:27] Kingsy101: ext3 is compatible with ext2.. you should be able to read the info from it at least [11:28] Spikemcc: I've given up many times but I keep coming back to it [11:28] Slart, I know this. anyway it needs to be possible to set it if desired [11:28] moin [11:28] Slart - thanks [11:28] or4n9e: I'm not sure there "needs" to be a way to set it, no [11:28] Slart, ? [11:28] richardcavell for opengl games it's real decent, otherwise old directx games also but it seem sluggish for me ... [11:28] ups sorry [11:29] Spikemcc: At least wine is working on 3D support [11:29] Anyone install pppoe, I installed it and when configuring it says Oh, dear, I don't see the file '/etc/ppp/pppoe.conf' anywhere. Please [11:29] re-install the PPPoE client. [11:29] Spikemcc: I just got my tax return so I might as well upgrade my internal hard disk, put Windows on it, and be proud of it [11:29] or4n9e: but I don't think it's a designed feature of a persistent usb install.. [11:29] While installing my usb modem I am getting error [11:29] FATAL: Module usbserial not found. [11:29] Slart, come on. that's urgently needed imho. I mean ubuntu can go the road to disable the root account but it NEEDS to be possible to activate it, even in liveusb [11:30] no issues with a hdd install [11:30] or4n9e: that's silly [11:30] or4n9e: I don't see a reason for it [11:30] or4n9e: why do you need to log in as root, ever? [11:30] richardcavell, what's silly? [11:30] richardcavell 3d games work on wine ... frets on fire worked better than the linux version a while ago ... [11:30] I am using 9.04 64bit [11:30] 0= [11:30] I won't login as root but I'd like to enable it. what's wrong with it [11:30] * nathan7 is using 9.10 =) [11:31] or4n9e: root is a fixed name [11:31] Spikemcc: The guys on #winehq think it might be my driver support. The Intel GMA950 chipset support under Ubuntu is woeful. [11:31] imho you just try to hide a serious bug. nothing else. just my 2c [11:31] or4n9e: the first attack point for any cracker [11:31] or4n9e: Ahem, administrator account on windoze [11:31] or4n9e: noone is saying it's wrong.. but you don't *need* it [11:31] Slart - that doesnt seem to work, in My computer it now has the local disk but when you try to view whats on it it asks if you wanna format it [11:31] or4n9e: Default: passwordless, allows remote logins on some setups (=0) [11:31] nathan7, read what I write please. I WON'T login as root [11:31] but I'd like to enable it [11:31] or4n9e: and as I said.. I doubt it's designed like that just for usb persistent installs.. it might be a bug, it might be a configuration issue.. I have no idea [11:32] or4n9e: Yes, but it's also so OTHERS won't do it [11:32] richardcavell on linux try to have a nvidia graphic card ... [11:32] or4n9e: Crackers [11:32] to be able to use sudo su - WITH password [11:32] or4n9e: see my msg [11:32] Su as root is passwordless [11:32] how do i disable the prompt on close window with an unread message in pidgin? [11:32] logitech webcam work well also [11:32] Spikemcc: yeah but I have a laptop so can't upgrade it. The GMA950 chipset is rather common though. [11:32] Boohbah: I misread your nick for boobie xD [11:32] richardcavell: D= [11:32] Kingsy101: hmm.. did you reboot? [11:33] nope.. 1 sec I will try that [11:33] At some point in the future, I'm going to build my own laptop [11:33] I want to install hunspell from source but it is giving error on make install [11:33] the error is : make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. [11:33] Please guide me what to do [11:33] pady: have you read the instructions in INSTALL or README? [11:34] Spikemcc: I might even buy a cheap-ass desktop for games [11:34] Spikemcc: all my favourite games are ten years old... Half-Life 1, Counter-Strike, Deus Ex [11:34] yes [11:34] A $50 graphics card will do me [11:34] yeah but Intel and Ati are mostly threaths to the linux desktop use ... I have one of theses Ati and if I could change it, I would make a youtube video about how to destroy an ati video card !!! [11:34] hey guys [11:34] there is a lot of crap starting up when i boot [11:34] pady: ./configure, make, sudo make install is the normal way ie the way most source code is compiled.. but it's far from the only way.. there are other systems, ways and so on.. you need to read the incuded instructions when you compile source code [11:34] like i tried out the sendmail package onece [11:35] so, sorry for being harsh but I dislike to be treated like a newbie, does anyone have a serious recommendation how to fix an obvious bug [11:35] hello [11:35] a bug that's btw known since 2005 - look in launchpad [11:35] old p3 or p4, 1 Go ram, nvidia 128 Mo graph card ... maybe & [11:35] i installed sendmail, and not MTA (mail transfer agent) is starting up like 10 seconds every time i boot. even thoguh i removed package sendmail. any ideasß [11:35] or4n9e: are you trolling? [11:35] anyone has been able to activate the flash plugin in chrome ?? [11:35] richardcavell, nope, I'm serious [11:35] Digit0, are you on 32 bit? [11:36] yes [11:36] or4n9e: I just think people reacted to the phrase "linux needs to have a root password".. I have no idea why it doesn't work on your usb install [11:36] Digit0, and with chromium not chrome? [11:36] or4n9e: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo#Special%20notes%20on%20sudo%20and%20shells [11:36] trothigar, nope, chrome [11:36] Digit0, i don't believe its supported at this time [11:36] any word on Google Chrome, by the way, for Linux? And whether it's better than Firefox? [11:36] or4n9e there is bugs in windows for eternity, don't mess with littles bugs on linux ... [11:36] richardcavell, sure it's faster [11:37] or4n9e: can you link that bug again please? [11:37] Digit0, you can get flash in chromium however [11:37] Digit0: Firefox is not exactly slow. If you're surfing around everyday websites, what difference does render speed make? [11:37] I was installing windows 98 without password, without cracks and stuff like that [11:37] heya :) after a kernel update, if it works nice, can i remove the previous ones through synaptic ? [11:37] trothigar, well, I just received an update of chrome and it says: Plugins (e.g. Flash) are partway implemented and will cause frequent crashes. Use --enable-plugins to turn them on if you're ok with that; the browser is otherwise quite stable [11:37] Digit0: Netscape on my Pentium 2 - 333 MHz was fast enough for me [11:37] hello [11:37] Boohbah, sure. wait a sec. it's somewhat related with xscreensaver but imho the very same reason [11:37] can someone help me a bit with samba? [11:38] i installed sendmail, and not MTA (mail transfer agent) is starting up like 10 seconds every time i boot. even thoguh i removed package sendmail. any ideas? [11:38] MidnightDevil: Yes you can [11:38] Digit0 try flock instead of firefox, it's way different you should like [11:38] richardcavell, use whatever you prefer :). For the laptop I use firefox but in the netbook chrome is much more responsive [11:38] i installed sendmail, and now MTA (mail transfer agent) is starting up like 10 seconds every time i boot. even thoguh i removed package sendmail. any ideas? [11:38] !karmic [11:38] Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [11:39] cube|hospital: sudo update-rc.d -f sendmail remove [11:39] tks richardcavell :) [11:39] Digit0: I like Firefox because it's cross platform. I use Windows, OS X and Ubuntu [11:39] <[nrx]> Karmic WILL break? What the hell does that mean? [11:39] MidnightDevil: be prepared to reinstall if something breaks [11:39] richardcavell, chrome will be cross platform soon [11:39] [nrx]: there will be bugs and changes that will break things [11:39] hello every1 [11:39] Boohbah: oh. and thats the rc.d part for? [11:39] [nrx]: it's alpha software... it will break [11:39] <[nrx]> ta [11:39] I prefer firefox as well, but for netbooks chrome is lighter === jr200747|away is now known as jr200747 [11:39] Digit0: but it wont be open source, just like firefox is [11:39] Digit0: if Google are serious about creating a rival OS, then Chrome will be the thin end of that wedge [11:40] Boohbah, you dont get the question. HOW to become root is obvious. I'm using linux for 10 years. the problem is... it's not possible to set its passwd [11:40] Digit0 and richardcavell time to try flock for both of you, it does all what you said and it's lighter than firefox [11:40] cube|hospital: rc.d is the directory where your system startup scripts exist, update-rc.d is the tool for modifying their runlevels [11:40] Spikemcc: Chrome also reckon that they're focussing on stability and security [11:40] Spikemcc: that's worth a lot [11:40] Spikemcc: Firefox has a ton of bugs [11:40] cube|hospital, afaik chrome is open source minus the "google" trademarks and logo [11:41] Boohbah: aah. ok. thanks. and, is there any way to manually take a look at start up things? i know about the perferences -> session, but not all of them appear to be there [11:41] that's why you can do something totally FOSS easily (chromium) [11:42] Digit0: it also doesnt have as many plugins, isnt that popular, is pretty new, and its google to it has as much privacy as much linux belongs to bill gates [11:42] how do u install TCL 8.4 on ubuntu?? [11:42] ...how the hell is Jokosher supposed to be pronounced! [11:42] or4n9e: 'sudo passwd root' not work for you? [11:42] DPic: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [11:42] DPic: joe-ko-sure [11:43] how can i with irssi open another "server" tab ? [11:43] jr200747: there isn't a package for it? [11:43] <[nrx]> Joe-Ko-Cher [11:43] <[nrx]> ;) [11:43] Boohbah, thanks, and i love your IRC handle [11:43] Boohbah, nope [11:43] it outputs "changed succesfully" [11:43] /etc/shadow gets changed [11:43] BUT it does not work [11:43] I stated this ten times now :D [11:44] how do u install TCL 8.4 on ubuntu?? [11:44] hello folks..is there a way for checking the option used to start a running process? [11:44] or4n9e: what do you mean it does not work? [11:44] but the download server is very slow i am getting 30kb/s [11:44] doktoreas: ps might be able to tell you the command line [11:44] There is a libvorbisfile3 but no libvorbisfile3-dev package! [11:44] or4n9e: have you re logged in? [11:44] doktoreas: or htop/top [11:45] om26er: I wish I could get 30 kilobytes/second [11:45] how do u install TCL 8.4 on ubuntu?? [11:45] !repeat | jr200747 [11:45] can anyone help plz [11:45] jr200747: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [11:45] ok sry and thnx ubottu [11:45] jr200747, sudo apt-get install tcl [11:45] richardcavell: wha that mean [11:45] Slart, I had read and follow that instruction, still it is giving the same error [11:46] om26er: count yourself lucky [11:46] oh, it's libvorbis-dev [11:46] never mind me :) [11:46] richardcavell, the system ignores the change [11:46] or4n9e: i'm curious about your issue.. what version of ubuntu? this is a liveusb? i want to try to reproduce it [11:46] or4n9e: have you rebooted or not? [11:46] pady: can you pastebin what happens when you run ./configure make sudo make install? including the commands [11:46] logout in console mode doesn't give a login prompt neither do a reboot [11:47] Boohbah, liveusb intrepid [11:47] Slart - hmm a re-boot didnt help [11:47] any other ideas ? [11:47] richardcavell: i was in the karmic channel and by mistake typed it here. by the way i downloaded jaunty at a much faster rate [11:47] same for jaunty... found it reported at ubuntusers.de [11:47] hi there, how can I force a cluster check at boot time with ubuntu 9.04? [11:47] Slart - it still just asks if I wanna format [11:47] richardcavell, as I said I also rebooted [11:48] Digit0: it also doesnt have as many plugins, isnt that popular, is pretty new, and its google to it has as much privacy as much linux belongs to bill gates [11:48] Digit0: it also doesnt have as many plugins, isnt that popular, is pretty new, and its google to it has as much privacy as much linux belongs to bill gates [11:48] Kingsy101: hmm... not really.. you can try this utility instead.. it's not as integrated as the other one.. but it might work better http://www.chrysocome.net/explore2fs-install [11:48] oops [11:48] ok [11:48] !pastebin | pady [11:48] pady: 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 [11:48] yes yes, but you can use chromium [11:48] Kingsy101: sudo touch /forcefsk should do it [11:49] touch /forcefsk just do a std checks, it doens't analyze the clusters... [11:49] unless I'm missing something [11:49] Slart - that works great.. thanks :))))) [11:49] cube|hospital, Digit0: I think #ubuntu-offtopic might be a better channel for firefox vs chromium discussion [11:49] Slart - I appriaciate that [11:49] or4n9e: http://releases.ubuntu.com/intrepid/ubuntu-8.10-mid-lpia.img ? [11:49] or4n9e: let Boobah try to reproduce your symptoms [11:50] kandjar: ahh.. that might be true.. not sure how to add switches to that... boot from a live cd? [11:50] richardcavell, you need this to believe I'm not a troll? [11:51] or4n9e: is that the right image? i'm downloading it now [11:51] serious I don't wanna be disrespectful but some folks do not take me serious and that's not ok imho [11:51] or4n9e: no [11:51] kandjar, if you mean a surface scan, you want to use badblocks [11:51] Slart - its possible with that program tho to copy files from the linux HD to the windows one right ? [11:51] or4n9e: I'm just saying we should reproduce what you're talking about to understand what's going on [11:51] hey all [11:51] Kingsy101: yes [11:52] joaopinto: yeah i meant surface scan [11:52] I know what I'm talking about, confront you guys with a verified and serious issue and all you do is asking if I'm trolling. next will be a kick maybe for at least a valid question [11:52] or4n9e: i am taking you seriously, i know it's possible to do what you're trying to do because i have done it [11:52] richardcavell, ok sorry [11:52] IC your point [11:52] kandjar, man badblocks [11:52] Slart - heh how ? I cant get it to work [11:52] or4n9e: is http://releases.ubuntu.com/intrepid/ubuntu-8.10-mid-lpia.img the image you're using? [11:52] Boohbah, it's definitely possible in a hdd install but in liveusb it does not work [11:52] joaopinto: thx ill check that now [11:53] Kingsy101: it doesn't show you a explorer like window where you can see the files on your linux drive? [11:53] or4n9e: which is why i want to confirm exactly which liveusb image you're using [11:53] oh oh 1 sec :) [11:53] Boohbah, nope. I created my own liveusb by rsyncing the livecd to usb, install grub and create a seperate casper-rw ext2 for persistent storage [11:54] Slart: can't find a way with ps :( [11:54] Boohbah, I use the liveCD [11:54] <[nrx]> or4n9e, interesting. I've been trying to do the same thing today and I just get nowhere. [11:54] I guess a badblock -sv /sda1 should do it :) [11:54] doktoreas: ok, hang on.. let me check [11:54] or4n9e: ok, which livecd is it? i'm looking at http://releases.ubuntu.com/intrepid/ [11:54] [nrx], the label of the persistence overlay is important [11:54] hi all [11:54] it needs to be casper-rw [11:54] <[nrx]> or4n9e, I don't even get that far - I can't get it to boot :) [11:54] Slart: thx mate [11:55] who can help me? [11:55] cocioi, need a question [11:55] Boohbah, standard intrepid x86 [11:55] <[nrx]> !ask [11:55] 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. :-) [11:55] or4n9e: if it's a problem with the ubuntu image it will also be present in the livecd [11:55] i can't connect my PC to wireless network [11:55] Slart, Config will giving error here is the config.log file I had pasted : http://paste.ubuntu.com/226900/ [11:55] Slart: It's ok thx [11:55] cocioi, what version of ubuntu, what wireless card, what have you tried [11:55] ps -f -p PID [11:55] ubuntu 8.10 [11:56] or4n9e: ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso ? [11:56] i used backtrack 4 [11:56] Boohbah, aligned. in the end it's not important what image you use. everything is intrepid and I myself assume it's a bug (or maybe even a "feature") of casper [11:56] Boohbah, yes [11:56] cocioi, #remote-exploit for that [11:56] yes [11:56] hi, I have found the problem with the tomcat6 installation. The file /usr/share/tomcat6/bin/bootstrap.jar is not created by the package [11:56] doktoreas: ah.. good [11:56] cocioi, BT is not supported here [11:56] pady: ok, I'll have a look [11:56] Boohbah, modded slightly to be able to use grub instead of syslinux [11:57] yes. [11:57] hi all! [11:57] cocioi, /join #remote-exploit [11:57] ok [11:57] thanks bazhang [11:57] pady: run this "sudo apt-get install build-essential", then try again [11:57] actually, bootstrap.jar is never created whatsoever, and does not exist anywhere on the file system [11:57] when i installed tcl its not registering to the system [11:57] hi, sometimes i can't browse anymore even though i'm still connected; it seems that the DNS is not functionnal since i can't ping www.google.com; does someone have an idea? [11:57] jr200747, installed how [11:57] Slart, ok [11:57] pady: in some cases ./configure actually creates the make files so if configure fails there might not be a make install rule [11:58] "in some cases" might also be "in all cases" [11:58] I think I'll now download casper source and ivestigate this [11:58] bazhang pm plz [11:58] try to rebuild the iso and see where I get [11:58] jr200747, let's keep it here, more eyes to solve the problem [11:58] o ok [11:58] thx joaopinto, it seems to be working :-) [11:58] i did wut u told me to do m8 [11:58] Slart, Thanks [11:59] pady: it works now? [11:59] hi all, I need all decent guides and tutorials for hardy to make my ubuntu minimal cd setup script ... got ideas ???

You can use tightvnc. [12:08] aaronvarghese: I find tightvnc to be very slow over the Internet though. [12:08] aaronvarghese, please use real English [12:09] aaronvarghese: and just ask your question, there is no queue system. [12:10] While installing hunspell the make command giving the error :http://paste.ubuntu.com/226945/ [12:10] is there a way to get the latest ver of e2fsprogs under 8.10, which might improve my recovery of a ext4 related freakout [12:10] CAn anybody help me ?

[12:16] *checks xchat preferences* note to self: find a better IRC client later [12:17] anyway, I have several questions with ubuntu, mostly about harddrive partitions, anybody there? [12:17] aeiou: afaik, it gives always a password prompt to not disclose information about existing accounts [12:17] Cyber_Akuma: hundred's of people are here, just simply ask your questions straight out [12:17] Cyber_Akuma, ask and if someone knows they will answer [12:18] Ok, well, first of all, I just did some massive repartioning, and I was wondering if there was any way I can renumber the sda1, sda2, etc (not sure what they are called) [12:18] since they are all out of order and skipping numbers now, its confusing [12:18] can some one help me with display problems [12:18] Why is my JFS raid5 always entering read only mode? Im getting errors in dmesg but i dont know what is causing it. Ive run samsung diagnostic tools on all the harddrives and smarmontools, they all pass. Tested ram with memtest, passed. Heres log: http://pastebin.com/m2f62fbf0 [12:18] http://ubottu.com/clone.html jr200747 [12:19] hey guys, when running the pulseaudio server on my laptop, i get cpulimit issues, the CAP_SYS_NICE limited capabilities seems to be an issue, i can't maintain a link between my desktop pc and the laptop at the moment. [12:19] Cyber_Akuma: fdisk, x for expert mode, f for corretion of partition order. beware, you have to correct every occurence of sdaX notation [12:19] 0= [12:19] here's the pulseaudio output from running on the command line.... http://pastebin.com/da00418a [12:19] <[nrx]> Cyber_Akuma: why would you want to? [12:20] nrx: to make things less confusing [12:20] <[nrx]> Cyber_Akuma; uhm ok. [12:20] I have numbers that are skipped and numbers that are out of order [12:20] sda8 appears before sda7 for example [12:20] <[nrx]> Cyber_Akuma, where? [12:20] in gparted [12:21] <[nrx]> that's just gparted, that doesn't affect operation in anyway. [12:21] is it possible to change the resilution or the log on screen [12:21] hello everybody. I wish to delete my swap partition as I don't need it. can anyone please advise? thanks [12:21] I used to have 3 primary and 4 logical, now I have 1 primary and 4 logical [12:22] Anyway, so when I use fdisk to renumber them, does ubuntu by default start with sda0 or sda1? [12:23] Cy-4-: [12:23] Cyber_Akuma: there is no sda0 [12:23] thanks [12:23] bazhang, can you help me ? [12:23] is their a way to take my 32bit installation and convert it to 64, or do I just need to reinstall? [12:24] mzuverink: reinstall [12:24] pady, you are trying to compile your own hunspell with custom definitions? [12:24] mzuverink, you could do it, but you'd end up on the funny farm i would say,,, [12:24] OK peeps, thanks for that [12:24] yw [12:24] bazhang, Currently I am facing problem withoud any modification in the code [12:25] psyshush: use swapoff to make the swap space unused, then you can use a partitioning tool to delete the partition [12:25] i dont think my video chip is installed right its a sis mirage 3 771/671 when i boot up my loog on screen is un supported [12:25] hmmm, fdisk x f didn't seem to do anything [12:25] I'm convinced that there's something wrong with my wireless drivers or settings, or something. When I have this computer on wireless, it seems to take FOREVER to resolve any DNS. Any other computer on the network goes quick and also if I plug this computer directly into a router, it will also be fast. Is there something I can do to fix this? [12:25] i can type in user pass and name then enter and boot up the desktop tho [12:25] oskar: thanks. do I need to change any config files are well? [12:26] When does a new Xorg.0.log get created? [12:26] another issue, my ipod touch, it registers when connected, but none of the apps allow communication with it or even browsing the contents of the itouch, any suggestions besides stop buying proprietary hardware devices? [12:26] hiiii, i installed USB Wireless ^_^ [12:26] it just said done, didnt ask me to renumber anything [12:26] psyshush: if you swap partition is referred in /etc/fstab, the entry should be deleted there [12:26] I'm trying to get my Radeon 9200 to work with 3d support by following the guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver, but while display is otherwise ok, there's no 3d support. My Xorg.0.log has only one error, which reads "(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)". I'm wondering why "NVidia", since I have a Radeon card - my previous card was NVidia. Could this point to the source of my problem? Any idea on how to pr [12:27] oskar: thanks [12:27] I'm having some trouble with one of my Ubuntu desktops. A minute or so after boot,all forms of input stop working, and caps/num/scroll lock lights on the keyboard start flashing. Any ideas? [12:27] psyshush: be very careful when manipulation the partition table... make a backup before, as mistakes can happen easily [12:28] theoraforever, is it a usb keyboard? =/ [12:28] i was wondering if anyone used empathy messenger, and could help me with some things [12:28] hi [12:28] hello? [12:28] hi [12:28] theoraforever, also, maybe try a knoppix CD to see if it's an ubuntu bug, or a hardware issue [12:29] snowdonx, hello [12:29] !hi | snowdonx [12:29] snowdonx: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [12:29] No, but the mouse is. And 24 hours ago, it worked. [12:29] i got a question [12:29] Just ask [12:29] wireless support what is it like for ubuntu [12:29] <[nrx]> !ask [12:29] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [12:29] mzuverick, you could try Amarok for your ipod, works for mine [12:29] !ask wireless support [12:29] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:29] snowdonx: it's good. [12:29] And had for maybe a month. [12:29] is there a driver list anywhere? [12:29] !ask driverlist [12:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask driverlist [12:29] Yo, Ubuntu have upgraded it version of Firefox. :-) [12:30] snowdonx: ! ask does nothing [12:30] i just figured that out [12:30] :) [12:30] snowdonx: all supported drivers are included from start, you don't need to install drivers [12:30] snowdonx, I have 9 laptops with various hardware and i have never had an issue with wireless since Ubuntu's 2nd release [12:30] !wifi | snowdonx [12:30] !hardware | snowdonx [12:30] snowdonx: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [12:30] snowdonx: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [12:30] so its just going to pick up my wireless laptop [12:30] Pretty sure he's trying to find out which ones are supported [12:30] snowdonx, you can poll the bot using /msg ubottu [12:30] Hello all , i would like to know and ask if am using Ubuntu on my laptop is there a way to create an ISO image off my Ubuntu OS and copy it to a CD instead of downloading a new ISO image from the Internet? [12:30] snowdonx, if you need drivers that aren't started with Ubuntu check out ndiskwrapper [12:31] hy [12:31] ameed: have a look at remastersys.. it might do what you want [12:31] snowdonx, what wireless hardware are you concerned about, make/manufacturer [12:31] wildcard what does that do [12:31] <[nrx]> Wildcard77, snowdonx: he means 'ndiswrapper' lol [12:31] a html editor know someone? [12:31] Wildcard77, I think you mean ndiswrapper? [12:31] mzuverink i think it will be supported [12:31] qe2eqe, yes sorry [12:31] * qe2eqe high-fives [nrx] [12:31] <[nrx]> ;D [12:31] snowdonx, just try the live cd and if it works out of the box it will be obvious [12:31] Slart: is it a program that runs on Ubuntu Already or should i Google it [12:32] Its an intel pro a/b/g 802.3 wireless [12:32] snowdonx, ndiswrapper assists with the install of drivers that aren't found by Ubuntu it's in apt. [12:32] I have run a livecd, and do not get this problem. But maybe two or three months ago, I had to reinstall Ubuntu because of this. [12:32] is there a driver scanner/udater for linux [12:32] Now,it's back. [12:32] ameed: http://www.geekconnection.org/remastersys/ubuntu.html it might be available in the repos.. I'm not sure [12:32] tavi_: bluefish screem kompozer quanta [12:32] ameed, also uck [12:32] <[nrx]> snowdonx, do as mzuverink has said - get the Live CD and boot with that. If Wireles works, you'll have no problems. [12:32] Is there any way I can fix my DNS issues? [12:32] uknow_: it's included from start, it's called "hardware drivers". simple! [12:33] <[nrx]> jumbers, what's wrong? [12:33] hmm [12:33] might just do that [12:33] !remaster | ameed [12:33] ameed: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [12:33] yeah iknow that [12:33] [nrx]: I said it before, maybe you missed it [12:33] question do you have a doc on how i can test the wireless? [12:33] I'm convinced that there's something wrong with my wireless drivers or settings, or something. When I have this computer on wireless, it seems to take FOREVER to resolve any DNS. Any other computer on the network goes quick and also if I plug this computer directly into a router, it will also be fast. Is there something I can do to fix this? [12:33] uknow, theres a program called jockey that helps, but it depends on the hardware. [12:33] or would it be obvious enough that i just figure out via intuition? [12:33] my apt or my sources.list isnt really feeling too well. here's a part of my error message, when trying to install or update: http://pastebin.ca/1504257 [12:33] <[nrx]> jumbers, check /etc/resolv.conf [12:33] any suggestions what i do first? [12:33] bearing in mind that i have very little linux experience [12:33] [nrx]: It didn't get like this until I did an upgrade. It might have been the jump to Intrepid [12:33] how can i for instance avoid using swedish sources? [12:34] snowdonx, intel? 2200? 3945? which one [12:34] snowdonx: the usual way to test it is by attempting to use it [12:34] <[nrx]> lstarnes, lol [12:34] not sure but its an acer 4234 WLMi Travelmate laptop [12:34] i was wondering if anyone in here used empathy messenger [12:34] if so could the im me so i can ask a few questions? [12:34] I purchased it over 2 years ago [12:34] snowdonx, is ubuntu installed on there and running now? [12:34] thanks [12:34] nope [12:34] just looking into it for preparation [12:34] cute_bettong: just ask the questions straight ahead, if anyone knows they'll answer [12:34] snowdonx, nope to both? [12:35] [nrx]: I have nameserver 172.16.145.103 which seems to resolve to blackhole1.iana.org [12:35] i watched the net compiz vid and that was 1 of my reasons for choosing [12:35] nope to the last question [12:35] Slart: can this also be done on CentOS ? i have a server with VICIDIAL Telemarketing Software and my internet is slow to download the ISO image again so can i use this command to create an ISO of it ? will it still include the software running on the system ? files and folders as well ? [12:35] [nrx]: And then my router [12:35] to the first question see my info about the laptop [12:35] or, if anyone has suggestions on quite specific google keywords for finding help on these apt errors (failed to fetch....) when the sources.list is perhaps old or somehintg [12:35] snowdonx, get the live cd and test it out, also a lspci in terminal will tell you the model number [12:35] <[nrx]> jumbers, check what you have when you're plugged in via eth and cross-ref that with your wireless conf. [12:35] <[nrx]> jumbers, can always set it manually using gnomes connection manager, too [12:35] <[nrx]> brb! [12:35] ameed: I have no idea how it does its thing.. have a look at the site, there might be more info there [12:36] snowdonx, intel are generally quite good as far as wireless support [12:36] Slart: Thanks alot for your time and help , appreciate it. [12:36] ameed: you're welcome [12:36] That seems to have done it, thanks. I assume that sda1 refers to the disk and not any partition and thats why it starts with sda2? [12:36] bazhang: is the wireless fairly obvious that I would find it and be able to just use it without having to read to much? [12:36] bazhang: i don't mind reading but if i can figure out something intuitively i prefer that [12:37] snowdonx, well, it would be nice to tell you more, but some support is kernel level, and other has drivers the 4965 I am not sure about [12:37] I am unable to resolve "za.archive.ubuntu.com", though it always worked. In fact, it worked for 4 packages and then stopped working, and hasn't worked since (about 10 minutes ago). Any ideas on how I can discover the IP to force it into my hosts file [12:37] when was that model released bazhang? [12:38] ghostknife is there a method of wiping the dnscahce "if there is any in linux"? [12:38] snowdonx: ?? [12:38] snowdonx, in the same time frame as your notebook, may be the one; but yes it is quite intuitive in the recent ubuntu releases, and here and the forums can give pointers if you hit a bump [12:39] thanks for all the support everyone, love and peace must go, looking forward to trying it out :) [12:39] ghostknife, why not choose a different mirror [12:39] good afternoon everybody [12:40] 哈囉 [12:40] does anybody cna tell me how i can find a chat for crunchbang user? i have to resolve a desktop menu problem. i dont have it and i have no idea how to install it. it is the new version 9.04. on the old version, 8.10 it worked normally.

[12:40] student, English only here [12:40] !crunchbang [12:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about crunchbang [12:40] !derivatives [12:40] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), crunchbang (support in #crunchbang) [12:40] bazhang: I'm doing that, but it's a huge download, and za mirror is truly blazingly fast here, because it's somewhere in the same data centre (100mb/s) [12:40] 我不會音文 [12:40] secret, /msg alis list *crunchbang* [12:41] crap [12:41] bazhang, i cant follow [12:41] student, just /join #ubuntu-cn [12:41] ?????

[12:42] student, stop [12:42] So, now that my partitions are renumbered, I have two swap partitions, how do I tell Ubuntu to use one and not touch the other?

[12:43] bazhang, can you tell me how do oyu mean that? [12:43] [nrx]: Okay, I manually removed that nameserver entry from resolv.conf to see what would happen and now it's working perfectly. Problem is, it says don't edit the file because it's automatically generated. What would be causing it to add that nameserver? [12:43] secret, let's chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [12:43] sybariten: I think so, yes [12:43] bazhang: just wondering where do i get the live cd [12:44] bazhang, how cn i change to there [12:44] Hi everyone, I've got a bit of a graphics card problem. I checked lspci and then had a look at xorg.conf, and it looks like it's being handled by 'configured video device', which is just a generic identifier. So I apt-get installed EnvyNG so I could get the proper drivers, and it turns out the ATI drivers for ubuntu aren't recommended or compatible with ubuntu, what should I do from here, I'm a bit confused. [12:44] i can't find it on the website [12:44] time to google a fstab guide [12:44] i do guess that i want to upgrade the release... if its possible with an apt command.... but i am at work now and need to remove some stuff from the machine so i cant do that right now and just need to install an app....

[12:49] ameed: nah its alright i'm happy to wipe it I have access to lots of computers :), 1 big workstation, just got myself another workstation, and can get many more if I want [12:49] I have aq problem when connecting to a ubuntu 9.04 host if it is running compiz+emerald: I only get a "screenshot" but then no interaction etc. [12:49] i will like to know how to disable the network manager for my wireless card [12:50] Bye for now, thankyou for your help it is greatly appreciated :) [12:50] I have a problem when connecting to an ubuntu 9.04 host with VNC if it (ubuntu) is running compiz+emerald: I only get a "screenshot" but then no interaction, like it was dead. [12:51] is it possible to disable the trash can completely? (items will be deleted completely) [12:51] guys, my /proc/acpi/thermal_zone is EMPTY. this is not normal. what do I do ? [12:52] sobersabre: does your system actually have thermal sensors? [12:52] lstarnes: how can I check ? [12:52] liri: Doing SHIFT + DEL should bypass trash, but be careful when doing it. === Ambri is now known as Kinetic [12:52] sobersabre: I'm not sure [12:52] lstarnes: I think any CPU above P3 should have thermal sensor. isn't it so ? [12:52] <[nrx]> jumbers, you can set that individual conection to mbe manually configured. It's obviously getting duff data from the DHCP server [12:53] could anyone help me with LCDd? i get an lcd display with my Antec Fusion, but just some bogus chars, and when executing LCDd, the lcd panel dies [12:53] sobersabre: you could try loading a program such as sensors from the lm-sensors package [12:53] lstarnes: is sensors working with some kind of its own kernel-space module, or what ? [12:54] does usb works with virtualbox-ose ? [12:54] maxagaz: No. [12:55] sobersabre: I don't think so [12:55] hi all, how you have to edit the firehol.conf so that any http-traffic will be forwarded to another IP? I already looked in the docs... [12:55] Recently installed 9.04. When entering vim at command line I'm informed "command not found". However, running 8.04 vim @ CLI would launch editor. Was vim in 8.04 a link to another editor, or was VIM installed in 8.04 and not in 9.04? [12:55] ok. [12:55] Hi everyone, I've got a bit of a graphics card problem. I checked lspci and then had a look at xorg.conf, and it looks like it's being handled by 'configured video device', which is just a generic identifier. So I apt-get installed EnvyNG so I could get the proper drivers, and it turns out the ATI drivers for ubuntu aren't recommended or compatible with ubuntu, what should I do from here, I'm a bit confused. [12:55] could anyone help me with LCDd? i get an lcd display with my Antec Fusion, but just some bogus chars, and when executing LCDd, the lcd panel dies [12:55] [nrx]: I found the problem. There's an interface entry for ppp0 that has that nameserver, in the resolvconf directory. I commented it out and now it's generating it without that nameserver [12:56] maxagaz: The open source edition does not support USB, you'd need to install the non-ose edition from vbox's website if you wanted that. [12:56] <[nrx]> jumbers, good :) [12:56] Pici, i'm looking for an open source solution for that [13:00] Guys when running su user -c command I get the following: This account is currently not available. How do I solve this? I just want to run a script as an unpriviliged user. [13:01] Guys when running su user -c command I get the following: This account is currently not available.

[13:01] \join #chaostheory [13:01] hi people, i've this http://pastebin.com/m7d6e3ea8 with ffmpeg, can you help me? === allas is now known as orbit____ [13:02] darkhamm, you don't have the relevant codec installed i believe [13:02] lorenzosu: I know, but I want to remove the trash can itself (I don't want files deleted without SHIFT+DEL to go there) [13:03] hello folks [13:03] could anyone help me with LCDd? i get an lcd display with my Antec Fusion, but just some bogus chars, and when executing LCDd, the lcd panel dies [13:03] liri: May I ask why. Having the trash can is usually a good option. [13:03] trothigar: i installed the amrnb package, but nothing... [13:04] darkhamm, alternatly you might need to recompile ffmpeg to support amrnb [13:04] supermouse: is the account locked or its login shell invalid? [13:04] I added the backports source to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/foo . apt-update does not fetch its databases though. "apt-config dump" shows sources.list.d in Dirs::Etc::parts . Is there any other conf needed? [13:04] darkhamm: hi, you need the ffmpeg package from the medibuntu repos. add the medibuntu repos and you should be fine. follow the instruction from ubotu [13:04] It's login shell is /sbin/nologin [13:04] lorenzosu: I just don't need it [13:04] !medibuntu | darkhamm [13:04] darkhamm: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [13:04] magnetron: ok i try [13:04] supermouse: set it to a valid shell, for example /bin/bash [13:05] Bu then that user can login vai the console.. [13:05] the apace user ash the same shell [13:06] [nrx]: I THINK I know what happened. I use a program to tether to my BlackBerry sometimes. It seems like what happened was it must have terminated and not had a chance to clean up its files, so it left behind a remnant saying to use 172.16.whatever, which is a "blackhole", but also used sometimes for internal network [13:06] supermouse: su -s /bin/bash -c .... [13:07] ! [13:07] lorenzosu: strikes me odd that such a thing isn't confiurable [13:07] *configurable [13:07] !hello [13:07] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [13:07] hello [13:07] supermouse: Why are you trying to login as the apache user? [13:07] <[nrx]> jumbers, as long as it's all working now, not to worry :) [13:07] i'm new to ubuntu btw [13:07] liri: I'm sure there's a way. Simply though you can do rm to delete a file forever.. so maybe more advanced users simply use the terminal [13:07] !ssh [13:07] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage. Putty is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [13:07] hi [13:08] [nrx]: I think I must have gotten frustrated once and terminated it without letting it do its cleanup [13:08] syroith:its ok i'v been here before [13:08] could anyone help me with LCDd? i get an lcd display with my Antec Fusion, but just some bogus chars, and when executing LCDd, the lcd panel dies [13:08] supermouse: it might be easier to do sudo -u user command [13:08] kl [13:08] <[nrx]> jumbers, sounds like normal everyday behaviour lol [13:08] Well, that was a lesson in fail. I tried to compile a Linux kernel just then... It booted fine, and worked fine too... until I tried to use the mouse... [13:08] liri: Anyhow let me stress that using some sort of "trash" mechanism is a safeguard to errors... And human error is one of the #1 causes for data loss ;) [13:08] Where might I have fucked up? [13:08] supermouse: or maybe sudo -i -u user command [13:08] lstarnes: In most cases he doesn't even need to do that. Apache starts up with /etc/init.d scripts [13:08] I'm not trying to log in as the apache user, I'm saying the apache unprivileged user does not have a shell defined in /etc/passwd.. [13:09] has anyone else had problems with the nvidia driver [13:09] Syrioth, no. [13:09] are there known issues with connecting to Windows VPNs using Network Manager under Jaunty? I'm using the same settings I used to use and it just doesn't work. Does anyone have that working successfully? [13:09] supermouse: It doesn't have a shell for security reasons [13:09] magnetron: i haven't ffmpeg on the medibuntu packages..... [13:09] ok maybe i'm just doing something wrong then [13:09] Yes, and I am saying my unprivileged user should be the same [13:09] darkhamm: did you add the medibuntu repo? [13:10] yes, i browse it in synaptic, and i haven't ffmpeg [13:10] magnetron: medibuntu free universe and nonfree [13:11] supermouse: What, nobody? [13:11] darkhamm: in synaptic, after you add medibuntu you should "Update", then "select all upgrades" then "Apply" [13:12] lorenzosu: which means there's no possiblity to disable it I take it... [13:12] liri: I didn't say that. [13:13] ok, in sources.list.d only files ending in ".list" are parsed. [13:15] magnetron: http://packages.medibuntu.org/jaunty/index.html , for jaunty ffmpeg is missed [13:15] Good evening, howdy [13:15] could someone help me with the nvidia driver problems [13:16] when it is enabled it goes into low res mode [13:16] lorenzosu: you aren't say how to disable it either :) so I'm guessing it's not supported or something [13:16] i get this when trying to change samba pass, Could not connect to machine 127.0.0.1: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE [13:16] liri: There should be an option in nautilus>preferences in the gnome-conf [13:17] wow, rusna, and sino practicing warfare! === allas is now known as orbit___ [13:18] plan to attck usa?!
