edbianlwizardl: I don't know what xfree86 is.  I assumed it was a package.  Is it a module or something?  What does check.sh check for?01:48
lwizardledbian, check.sh determines what version of the linux ati driver is needed01:48
Icavattennetsurf3: #windows :P01:48
lwizardli'm trying to get my video capture working on my aiw card01:48
edbianlwizardl: AFAIK there are only 2 options.  Closed source fglrx and open source radeon.  Are there more?01:49
quesoI just built a new computer and put Ubuntu on it. My old computer is a Mac PowerBook G4 with OS X 10.3.9. What would be the easiest way to connect these computers together so I could transfer files to my new computer?01:49
corqueso samba01:49
lwizardledbian, well the ati drivers no longer use fglrx it has a new file aticonfig01:49
corqueso, over ethernet/cat-501:50
quesocor, can I do that wirelessly if both are connected to the same wireless router?01:50
coror that, sure01:50
quesocor, are both methods just as easy?01:50
BiggBoss.bin files can be executed with sudo? im reading a guide which says me to execute sudo jdk6.bin01:50
corit's relative01:50
corwired is generally easier, and more secure01:50
edbianlwizardl:What module do they use now?  What is xfree86 ??01:50
bruenigBiggBoss: install jdk from the repos dude01:50
BiggBossi alredy did01:50
BiggBossbut cant get jdk01:50
BiggBossi always get jse01:51
bruenigBiggBoss: what are you talking about01:51
boss_mc!java | BiggBoss01:51
lwizardledbian, i'm guessing its a type of X.Org01:51
ubottuBiggBoss: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository01:51
corBiggBoss, yes, anything can, if it's (+x) executable01:51
BiggBossi follow that documentation01:51
BiggBossand couldnt get jdk01:51
edbianlwizardl: You think xfree86 replaces Xorg ???01:51
bruenigBiggBoss: guaranteed that you are doing something wrong01:52
corisn't it in with the restricted drivers package or something? Mine just goes in itself01:52
BiggBossthis what i used sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk01:52
lwizardledbian, yeah becuase they have 2 options XFREE86 or X.Org01:52
corin truth, I'm new to the whole package thing, so feel free to ignore that01:52
boss_mcBiggBoss: sorry, that's not very useful..., you want openjdk-6-jdk/sun-java6-jdk01:52
BiggBossits that wrong?01:52
jadeedhi01:52
BiggBossok, ill try01:52
boss_mcBiggBoss: sounds right to me01:52
Mike_lifeguardIf I'm using tar to backup my whole system, how can I update the tarball later? Will the -u option also delete files from the archive, or does that only affect adding/changing files?01:52
corMike man tar01:53
edbianlwizardl: I'm googling it right now.  You're right BTW xfree86 and xorg do the same thing (implentation of the X window system)01:53
bruenigMike_lifeguard: using tar to backup your whole system is silly if you want to incrementally update it01:53
jadeedis there a way to backup all software packages downloaded from internet01:53
Mike_lifeguardcor: I wouldn't be asking if the answer was in the man page 9.901:53
bruenigMike_lifeguard: use rsync01:53
Mike_lifeguardbruenig: I didn't know rsync was for archiving01:54
bruenigit can be01:54
BiggBossi just used sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk, then used java -version and i have Java SE01:54
guille01:54
guilleanyone know a decoder file *. atc to mp301:55

BOBKAhow can I wake up a sleeping (S+) process? I pressed something, and my vi went into the sleeping state01:56
edbianlwizardl: It looks like all of the distros use xorg now for licensing reasons.  I don't think you're running xfree86.  Ubuntu uses xorg01:56
BiggBossis java-6-sun-1.6.0.10 = jdk?01:57

dfeuersebsebseb, I don't want to reset them to defaults.02:05
dfeuerJust unfreeze them.02:05
IcavattenBartman_: the T500's are a bit faster :)02:05

coz_lwizardl,  do you have the link to that guide?02:20
lwizardlsec let me see if its still in the history02:21
edbianohmygawd: To get ndiswrapper just run: "sudo apt-get install ndisgtk02:21

Chaotic_DescentI'm going totally crazy trying to figure out how to get, in this very specific instance, as an end goal, World of Warcraft to run in Ubuntu. I'm stuck for the past hour on the first problem, trying to get hardware 3D support enabled in Ubuntu. *sigh*02:25
edbianohmygawd: ndiswrapper has improved since this how-to was made.  If you look in System -> Admin (I think) You'll see "Windows Wireless Drivers".  Ignore this tutorial and go there.02:25
thneedctmjr: sorry, displayconfig-gtk02:25
lwizardlcoz_, video game consoles, and VHS02:25
thneedctmjr: that is the full name of the package, not int he repos though...02:25

Chaotic_DescentI started here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft which lead to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft/Troubleshooting02:26
bazhang"Windows Wireless Drivers" edbian02:26
edbianbazhang: Any of them once you have the ndisgtk package installed?02:26
Chaotic_Descentwhich lead to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ and http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html02:26
edbianbazhang: It isn't in any of them by default.02:26
bazhangedbian, ah thanks for the clarification02:27
Chaotic_DescentI stupidly clicked on the 2nd link first, and it looked easier since it was an automated thing. It failed. so now I'm trying the first one.02:27

gareimhey, is there any way to put passwords on files?02:28
coz_lwizardl,  mm you might try   #linux channel for a better overview instead of ubuntu specific solutions02:28
edbianGuest76345: The adobe-flash package is not part of the main system.  Try removing it completely and then upgrading!02:28
lwizardlxFlux, yeah which is sad since AMD makes the best proccessors IMO but now that they also have ATI seems they would get a clue02:29
Chaotic_DescentI got an ATI card I'm trying to get working in Linux too... but I was hoping it would perform better than in Windows.02:29
ohmygawdedbian: not at present, how do i do that? sorry!02:29
edbianohmygawd: System -> Admin -> Windows Wireless Drivers02:29
ohmygawdedbian: yes thats open02:29
Mike_lifeguardbruenig: If I use rsync for backing up, won't that just duplicate the filesystem somewhere (uncompressed, not an archive, just a copy)?02:30
edbianohmygawd: (That is the ndisgtk package)02:30
ohmygawdedbian: edbian: but its asking me for the inf file02:30
edbianohmygawd: Do you have your windows drivers?  The .inf and the .sys?02:30
xFluxim assuming you have the drivers downloaded and installed for ATI?02:30
Chaotic_Descentcan someone tell me why I can't get anywhere with this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI02:30
edbianohmygawd: Yeah you need it :)02:30
Chaotic_Descentthe 2nd command fails.02:30
ohmygawdedbian: im trying to locate them now, thanks :)02:30
ohmygawdedbian: i think i can figure it out from here02:30
edbianohmygawd: Ok!  Good luck!02:30
bruenigMike_lifeguard: true, but if you want to incrementally sync it back up, your compression will take a massive amount of time02:30
edbianChaotic_Descent: What ati card are you using??02:31
Chaotic_DescentMaybe it has something to do with the instructions for Ubuntu 8 and 9 being identical save for a typo.02:31
Mike_lifeguardbruenig: true, but disk space is my concern, not time02:31
Mike_lifeguard(or cpu)02:31
gareimhow do you put a password on a file?02:31
Chaotic_Descentedbian: Radeon 960002:31
bruenigMike_lifeguard: well then just retar everytime02:31
bruenigMike_lifeguard: there is no incremental way to tar, I mean maybe if you had absolutely no file modifications02:31
edbianChaotic_Descent: You have two options for the driver.  1 - fglrx (closed source)  2 - "radeon" (open source)  Which would you like to use?02:31
bruenigtar doesn't read what is in a file02:32
Chaotic_Descentedbian: the one that works. preferably the one that's easiest to get working.02:32
edbianChaotic_Descent: :)  Lets try "radeon" first02:32
ctmjrthneed: something must have broke in your upgrade as that is the screen resolution gui it is suppose to be installed by default02:32
Chaotic_Descentwhen I run: sudo insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/volatile/fglrx.ko  I get insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/volatile/fglrx.ko': -1 File exists02:33

tehborizcan anything useful be done with an old almost burned out IDE 40gb hard drive?02:34

=== e is now known as Guest97407
ohmygawdedbian: cant locate my drivers... are there any good internet resources for these drivers?02:34
edbianohmygawd: The site of the vendor of your card02:34
bruenigMike_lifeguard: if you rsynced you would still have to tar up the whole of the rsync dir02:35
bruenigso it wouldn't be any different02:35
digitalslavewhat tools are available to set up 2 disks as raid 1 (just a data volume) after ubuntu has already been installed on a 3rd disc?02:35
edbianChaotic_Descent: I'm looking up the command to tell what modules you're currently using02:35
LeChacalhello all, this may be a little off topic but what does anyone think about plugging and unplugging a SATA drive from an Ubuntu machine while it is running, it is a data drive not the OS drive and before unplugging I would unmount, the drive has an NTFS file system?02:35
Mike_lifeguardbruenig: sorry, I meant that you'd uncompress/untar it before trying rsync to update things02:35
edbianChaotic_Descent: Run: lspci -k  and look for your card02:36
bruenigMike_lifeguard: so you untar it, sync it, then tar up the whole of the now uncompressed and sync mirror dir?02:36
bruenigsynced*02:36
digitalslaveLeChacal, no problems with that02:36
nerrLeChacal, I do it all the time on my Ubuntu Server install.02:36
Chaotic_Descentedbian: invalid option --k02:36
edbianChaotic_Descent: just one - :)02:36
Mike_lifeguardbruenig: yeah02:36
edbianChaotic_Descent: "lspci -k"02:36
Chaotic_DescentI used one -02:36
bruenigMike_lifeguard: that is the same thing as tarring up the actual dir, actually worse02:37
Chaotic_Descentit says "invalid option -- k"02:37
Mike_lifeguard\o/02:37
Mike_lifeguardthen I won't do it :D02:37
bruenigwhat compression are you using with tar?02:37
brueniggzip?02:37
LeChacaldigitalslave & nerr: ok thank, i didnt think it was that big a deal, i was more worried because it was an NTFS file system.02:37
nerrdefinitely should not be a problem so long as you cleanly mount and unmount the drive.02:38
Chaotic_Descentedbian: I copy/pasted to begin with. there's no 'k' option.02:38
edbianChaotic_Descent: ???  "sudo lspci -k"  ?02:38
digitalslaveLeChacal, just dont be writing to it while you do it :)02:38
Chaotic_Descentedbian: correct.02:38
edbianChaotic_Descent: Very odd. I just ran it 3 or 4 times on my system.  Anyway.  Try "lsmod | grep radeon"02:39

I'm just following instructions, hoping that my "common sense" will be able to detect whether they're even relevant to my problem and current.02:42
edbianChaotic_Descent: I'm afraid you're waaay above my head then.  Apparently envy is a total nightmare.  I met a guy on here once that had to re-install just to get rid of it.  I' m sorry but I don't think I can help you anymore.  My only suggestion is to try and PURGE envy.02:42

JohnnyNewbieHey all, for this screen share thing, I've been reading about tightVNC versus this vinagre, any thoughts on the two?02:43
edbianChaotic_Descent: Envy just stomps around the place (refusing to ever leave) and shoving modules in and out (somewhat randomly) ignoring the user's modprobes and such.02:43
Chaotic_Descentedbian: I hate computers so very, very much.02:43
edbianChaotic_Descent: To remove it first run: "sudo apt-get purge envy"  Then run "locate envy" and see if there are any files left (there will be)02:44
edbianChaotic_Descent: Sorry about this!  Unfortunately you're in a dark spot in the linux world :(02:44

Chaotic_Descentedbian: it didn't remove anything from that first command, probably because the package was called something else like envy[something] . it found: /usr/share/app-install/desktop/envy24_control.desktop02:45

PeloChaotic_Descent, depends on your use,  , LTS is long term support,  meaning that you'll get package update for several years ( 3 I think ) but you won'T upgrade prog versions,   businesses prefer that since it is less trouble , upgrading from release to release may be a shore if you have several computers do deal with03:07

PeloChaotic_Descent, what's your issue again ?03:33
yanhm, Very big device. Trying to use READ CAPACITY(16).  >>> READ CAPACITY(16) failed03:33
gartralPhotoJim: cant really tell, this system only has ubuntu03:33
kingnerdmobileCan I use an XUbuntu live cd to recover the Ubuntu Server password?  Both are 9.0403:34
kingnerdmobileI have no Server live CD and grub fails to go into menu03:34
Chaotic_DescentPelo: (besides computers in general?) trying to install Radeon drivers. sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri  gets me "Reinstallation of libgl1-mesa-glx is not possible, it cannot be downloaded."03:34
DasEi1yan: seems like a few hundred lines read error from that device, first quest : does your machine support the size of the usb-drive ? second : is there a win-pc araound you can use ?03:34
yanDasEi1: one thing i forgot: the hdd is supposed to be 1tb but the partitionmanager tells me it has 2tb03:34
PhotoJimgartral: we need to rule out a hardware problem.  I guess one thing you could try that's easy is to find/borrow/buy a different batch of discs, preferably made by a different manufacturer (note that the label company is seldom the manufacturer).03:34
darthanubiskingnerdmobile: any livecd will do03:34
oshua86I just got a HP EliteBook 8530p and I cant get the audio to  work for nothing, ive looked everywhere, I was hoping some of  you could help me a bit03:34
gartralkingnerdmobile: you dont need any cd, you need too boot into the recovery console03:34
nsahoocan someone tell me which one is correct?03:34
gartralPhotoJim: i have done that already, this most deffinately is a problem in software...03:35
exodus_msRunning Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit, do I need "libchipcard" noticed a process in htop eating alot my cpu "chipcardd4" found a launchpad thread on this being fixed in karmic, what can I do in the meantime, is it safe to remove it?03:35
PeloChaotic_Descent, the repos is probably down for some reason ,  try going into menu > system > admin> software sources and change the server you use , then reload and try again03:35
PhotoJimgartral: how can you be sure if you haven't tried burning on this machine with a different OS?  You said you only had Linux installed.03:35
yanDasEi1: how do i know if my machine does? is that a hardware question? it's a new thinkpad t400. i am checking the disk because on a friend's computer (win) it didnt show up anymore03:35
safruhanifor kill a process every startup, what is the right way? (a script to put on /etc/init.d/ or anything else ?03:35
DasEi1 kingnerdmobile:yes, you can either alter menu.lst for a longer grub delay or chroot into your system03:36
artillerytx_how do you install the correct graphic drivers for ubuntu ?03:36
gartralPhotoJim: also, the draves were made by different manufactuers, and i doubt very highly that the same issue would arise from both at the same time, given the veriety of disks i have access too03:36
Chaotic_DescentPelo: thanks. I'm trying that now.03:36
PhotoJimgartral: unlikely, but not impossible.  but I've never seen Ubuntu unable to burn a disc when it could read one, unless the drive was faulty or the media was bad.03:36
nsahoowhy does it automatically slow down my cpu?03:36
HFSPLUSMac os x is better than ubuntu03:36
kingnerdmobileDasEi1, my problem isn't the delay, grub isn't taking any keystrokes03:37
gartralPhotoJim: i mean im not sure about the diference that would make, but the drive is full, and i cant even reliably boot knoppix or backtrack...03:37
DasEi1yan : the size-support is a hardwarequestion, if that's not the matter , the drive is either dead or corrupt, so easiest would be to check in win (else testdisk or ntfsprogs) or overwrite whole disk ( long term on 1 TB)03:37
PhotoJimgartral: well, if the hard disk is full that could cause issues actually burning, but wouldn't prevent the burning software from seeing that a disk is burnable.03:38
Robbie_CrashHow do I prevent errror messages from streaming to console on Ubuntu server? I'm trying to figure out what's causing all my disk errors, but every 15 seconds I get a stream of error messages that clears my screen.03:38

HFSPLUSMac os x is better than ubuntu03:38
DasEi1yan : but gparted lists the drive ad you don't need data from it ?03:38

hemightbetoddI recently removed XFCE from my xubuntu installation and installed (successfully) Netbook Remix.  It worked for a week, and now boots without loading gnome-panel, and all applications open with no title bar and cannot be maximised, resized, or moved.  Maximus seems to still be operational.  What do I need to do to resture Netbook Remix to regular operation?03:43
yanDasEi1: i think its this one: http://sourceforge.net/projects/partitionman/03:43
Pelosafruhani, if you know the prog that starts the process you can try uninstalling it from synaptic03:43
apoleo12Pelo: ah its 3... is it anybetter or worst?03:43
yani call it via "partitionmanager" from terminal03:43
PhotoJimgartral: well, that's definitely a software issue.  did you google to see if other people have had similar issues with brassero plugins?  maybe there's a package that isn't installed that was missed.  btw what sort of burn are you doing... data to DVD?  music?  etc.03:44
safruhaniok thanks PhotoJim03:44

hemightbetoddPelo, I don't believe compiz is running by default when Netbook Remix loads, however I can fire it up from a terminal and it restores the missing titlebars until it is terminated.03:47

FrozenFire[work]Is there a way to create a portable install of Ubuntu, that doesn't require any modifications to the partition table of a drive. The most preferable form would be in a bootable file container, similar to Wubi.03:48

corif you want to change the hardware MAC address of a bluetooth device (technically a BD address), grab the source fro "bdaddr", which does exactly this03:49

FloodBot1ubuntu_giant: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.03:57
unopvolve, why would you want to use tee in a perl script? it's not as if perl is lacking in writing to two filehandles simulatenously?03:57
gartralPhotoJim: mostly isos that ive prepped of my drive, but i havnt seen a need too try anything, as k3b and brasareo claims the disks just are not burn03:57
ubuntu_giantOnce the video is rendered and I play the video, I get a few seconds of the video, then it stops but the audio continues.  Then eventually the audio stops.03:57
volveunop: because tee already exists, and it does what I need... ?03:58
ubuntu_giantMaybe I'm using the wrong codec? :(03:58
PhotoJimgartral: you could try burning using wodim at the command prompt.  that would help you rule out hardware.  it's reasonably easy to burn a .iso image from the shell.03:58

DasEi1yan: there are some more possibilities to check, but the further we trap in there, the more likely is the chance to break something, so I'd firstly check - gparted live cd > new parti-table and/or same in windows, second warranty on that drive, third hdparm -k or-K and more options, then things like testdisk / ntfsprogs ;; third group envolves danger..04:08

KittyBootsI will try to see if it shows up04:30
aukCyrano_De: i have had teh same issues the whole way through with jaunty. very irritating04:30
lampliterCyrano_De: Okay, not meaning to be a pain in the butt but, you need to think about this. If you can use speech recognition now because you work in an environment which is hostile to its use, what are you going to do when your RSI gets worse. My hands were damaged by RSI 15 years ago.04:30
lampliterI've since learned that you can stop the events if you treated aggressively and stopped doing the activities that hurt (i.e. programming etc.). If you continue, it will progress to the point where you be living with chronic pain like I am.   The thing to think about is what are you going to do for a living when your hands will not let you do what you are doing now. Is your company going to set things up so you can use speech recognition or are they going to cas04:30

mlissnerHey, are there any japanese speakers in the crowd? I'm confused about how to get japanese input working on a new install...it seems crazy-complicated.05:27

gkasinathhwo to install windows 7 from Ubuntu. Target windows disk is different05:30
wisemanI currently dual boot windows vista and ubuntu 8.04.  I want to wipe everything clean.  start from scratch.  Brand new windows, brand new linux (switching to mint!)05:30

SchmittyDoesIthas anyone got java working on ubuntu 9.04 I have tried different browsers but it is all the same. I hava fresh install of ubuntu and I have reinstalled sun java several times as well to no avail. At no time to I encounter an error. The applets just don't load. All security settings are fine. Websites have even been added as trusted and I still get nothing.05:30
SchmittyDoesItIs this a known issue05:30
quickhandI have an eee pc t91, and I can't for the life of me get the video drivers to work right.  I just end up in standard vesa, no matter what I do.  Anyone kind enough to help?05:30
mlissnerwiseman: OK. I'm not sure about doing a dual boot install, but you should be able to wipe the disks with no trouble when you do your installations, right?05:31
egc\X/05:31
mlissnerwiseman: Also, have you considered virtualbox?05:31
gartralquinton: PM..05:31
ohmygawdany iPod owners here, what program do you use?05:31
wisemanso I use F8 while booting to windows to get the advanced boot settings to do a factory fresh install of windows from the partition.  Now it doesn't see the partition that has the OS install data on it, but it's there.  linux sees it, and windows sees it in the system restore tool but not in My computer.  So some guys in the windows chat said to use gparted to unhide it05:31
ohmygawdis it mainly Banshee?05:31
mlissnerSo...if nobody knows how to do japanese input...does anybody understand/use scim?05:31
wisemanso I downloaded Gparted and I'm trying to make that work.  i'd imagine that a tool to repartition disks would be bootable, but this does not appear to be.05:32
mlissnerwiseman: Hmmm...I haven't done a dual boot config in years, but I remember something about the boot flags and grub, and windows and stuff getting messed if it's not done right.05:33
IcemanV9SchmittyDoesIt: type sudo aptitude install sun-java6-plugin05:33
arquebusmlissner: have you added japanese in System>Admistration>Language Support?05:33
SchmittyDoesItanyone want to talk java with me? Anyone have it working05:33
SchmittyDoesItok IcemanV9 one sec05:33
mlissnerwiseman: are you following a guide? Also, did you see my question about virtualbox?05:33
arquebuswiseman- did you check the boot order of your bios?05:34
mlissnerarquebus: yeah, I did that, but that doesn't help with japanese input aside from basic kana. I need to somehow do hirigana, I think.05:34
gkasinathwiseman - I have also heard similar stories about Either Ubuntu or Window$ messing up the MBR in Dual boots.05:34
wisemanhow would I use virtualbox in this situation?  I don't have any installation discs, just the partition05:35
pamdebuild question: what does "dpkg-source: warning: ignoring deletion of file foo" mean?05:35
SchmittyDoesItIcemanV9: your the shit, i don't care what they say about you05:35
mlissnerwiseman: if you install purely ubuntu, you can then install virtualbox and run windows in that.05:35
wisemanbut i I install purely ubuntu I lose my partition05:36
wisemanand I can't install windows05:36
mlissnerwiseman: OK, maybe I'm confused.05:36
syntaxlike this05:37
IcemanV9SchmittyDoesIt: i'm sorry? does it work?05:37
syntaxi would fresh install ubuntu05:37
syntaxvb windows05:37
wisemanok it won't boot from gparted05:37
mlissnerwiseman: you have two partitions that you just installed, right? One is windows, the other is mint?05:37
BookmanOk, again, any 2d scroller that works in ubuntu without the need for opengl05:37
wisemanmlissner: I have ubuntu now.  there are three total partitions.  One main windows, one windows recovery, one ubuntu.  I want to wipe windows clean and get factory fresh, and I want to wipe ubuntu clean and install Mint.05:38
mlissnerwiseman: gparted is a tool to modify partitions and disks. It doesn't boot anything, but it might be able to adjust boot flags so things can boot on their own.05:38
SNALHhi all05:38
trollboywiseman?05:38
wisemanhi trollboy05:38
SchmittyDoesItIcemanV9: yes it works. This helped my girlfriend. I think you just got me laid.05:38
mlissnerwiseman: OK, so you don't mind if you wipe the whole disk?05:38
trollboywe're not related are we?05:38
wisemanmlissner: that's the point05:38
mlissnerwiseman: just making sure.05:39
wisemantrollboy: we may be05:39
IcemanV9SchmittyDoesIt: glad it works.05:39
trollboyscary05:39
wisemanI've already saved everything important to an external05:39
mlissnerwiseman: so if you want, you can use an iso to install purely mint.05:39
omkarhello guys05:39
trollboyyou're not related to the ohio wiseman's are you?05:39
wisemanso I'm just trying to do some kill it with fire style spring cleaning05:39
mlissnerwiseman: once that's installed, you can install windows into virtualbox as a program within mint.05:39
Bookmanok, maybe a good pinball game that does not require opengl05:39
wisemantrollboy maybe, but I'm from california and my dad is from indiana05:39
trollboyquite possible then05:40
trollboyweird05:40
erosswhat's up Bookman05:40
wisemanmlissner: I'm well aware that I can just install mint and kill everything05:40
omkarI hve ubuntu installed n if I want to remove it n install kubuntu in to the system05:40
wisemanmlissner: but I also need to have a windows partition05:40
omkardo i hve to restore the mbr of windows05:40
Bookmanhey eross05:40
cryptideso whats the command similar to ctl+alt+del that i can use to take back control over a game that has froze?05:40
mlissnerwiseman: OK, so you do want to have dual boot as opposed to virtualizing windows.05:41
wisemanmlissner: I'd like to.  BUT if I just install linux over everything I would lose my windows partition, right?05:41
mlissnerwiseman: Right, but I thought you didn't mind wiping everything?05:41
wisemanI suppose I could virtualbox windows, I just don't want to blanket Mint over my hard drive and lose the partition that windows installs from.05:41
erossbookman are you looking for non-opengl games?05:42
Bookmaneross: yup05:42
Bookmaneross: a good 2d scroller would be awesome....duke nukem style05:42
IcemanV9wiseman: you can downsize the windows partition via gparted and install ubuntu onto the free space05:42
=== VasaN is now known as evas80
mlissnerwiseman: OH! I see, you're trying to keep the recovery partition for windows?05:42
wisemanI want windows.  i want linux.  Windows installation data is ona partition on my hard drive because toshiba is a bunch of ass holes.  So, I need to have the ability to not nuke that bit.05:42
wisemanYES05:42
erossSDL is out of the question?05:42
wisemanmore importantly I'm trying to access it05:43
omkarsee wiseman05:43
wisemanbecause the windows recovery tool does not see it05:43
mlissnerwiseman: we have achieved understanding.05:43
wisemanand now the healing can begin05:43
mlissnerwiseman: OK...now I have to think about how to make that partition useful...05:43
wisemanenter:  Gparted05:43
wisemanbut it won't load05:43
Bookmaneross: SDL?05:43
arquebusSDL uses OpenGL, its not different than SDL05:44
wisemanthe CD apears fine, but it doesn't actually work.  I imagine I'm supposed to try to boot from it, loading some sort of user interface that partitions stuff05:44
gkasinathwiseman: I am in the process of installing windows 7, on virtual box, after reading mlissners post. It is a walk through the park!05:44
mlissnerwiseman: OK...so you're thinking you can make an iso of the partition using gparted, move that to a disc, and then boot from that mo'?05:44
IcemanV9wiseman: when you boot the pc, hit f2 , f10 or whatever to enter BIOS info. make sure cd-rom is first before the hard drive05:45
erosshave you searched here?  http://happypenguin.org/05:45
mlissnergkasinath: You mocking me?05:45
wisemanmlissner: the windows people think that the partition is hidden and needs to be unhidden05:46
Chaotic_DescentWhat was that wine help channel?05:46
wisemanIcemanV9: I manually tell it to boot from cd05:46
Chaotic_DescentI restarted and lost it.05:46
mlissnerwiseman: I say bah to that. As far as I know there's no concept of hidden partition with linux.05:46
mlissnerwiseman: just mounted or not.05:46
ctmjrChaotic_Descent: #winehq05:46
wisemanIcemanV9: and that worked when I ran the Mint live CD, but not the gparted thing05:46
wisemanmlissner: but there is forr windows, aparently05:47
wisemanand that may be my problem05:47
erossHere's a 2d rpg, manaworld:  http://themanaworld.org/index.php05:47
wisemanso how would you propose I make it useful again?05:47
erosswoops  mmorpg05:47
mlissnerwiseman: I think windows is calling hidden to mean unmounted, unknown.05:47
gkasinathmlissner: no, just saying that your tip has helped me well.05:47
mlissnerwiseman: so when you start gparted, the partition doesn't show?05:47
wisemanI can't start gparted05:48
mlissnergkasinath: Oh good. It sounded like you were mocking me since this taking a lot of back and forth. Glad you got it working.05:48
IcemanV9wiseman: gotcha. mdsum5 gparted iso (and CD) to be sure it's not corrupted.05:48
gkasinathmlissner: :)05:48
mlissnerwiseman: that's odd. what happens when you try?05:48
wisemanLinux reads it fine when Its up05:48
wisemanmlissner: nothing at all05:49

mlissnerwiseman: so confused....05:50
BookmanAnyone else with a good scrolling game for Ubuntu out there?05:50

wisemanok ubuntu is now up and jamming05:52
mlissnerwiseman: Cool. Start up gparted.05:52
wisemanhow do I get gparted to go05:52
mlissnerwiseman: you probably have to install it. otherwise: gksudo gparted should work05:53
Bookmanhmmmm.....05:53
wisemanyou mean I didn't have to waste a cd?05:53
mlissnerwiseman: no, I mean install gparted.05:54
wisemaninstall how?05:54
wisemanlol, I've  never installed anything from a CD in linux05:54
mlissnerOh...I thought you could boot the mint install...05:54
mlissneryou're booting a live CD?05:54
wisemanNo05:54
wisemanok fact check05:55
wisemanI have ubuntu05:55
mlissnerhit me05:55
wisemanubuntu has been on this computer for over a year05:55
* Whoop hits mlissner 05:55
wisemanit is installed, has its own partition, etc05:55
wisemanthis is all part of an elaborate spring cleaning of windows and upgrade to Mint05:55
wisemanforget about Mint right now05:55
wisemanI have the liveCD, I can install that any time I want05:56
wisemanright now I need to get the windows part straightened out because if that gets lost then I'm in big heap troubl05:56
mlissnerGotcha.05:56
mlissnerSo what we want to do is make an iso (or something) of the windows partition, right?05:56
quintongart, yt?05:56
wisemanmlissner: if thats what it takes to fix it, but I think that would take too much space.05:57
wisemanI don't have any blank DVDs right now05:57
wisemanall i want to do is get into Gparted.  the windows guys think that there's a thing to tick to make it visible again.05:57
wisemanso forget everything else, get me into gparted and I'll see if I'm facing in the right direction05:57
mlissnerwiseman: OK...well, you can't install gparted (to my knowledge) from a live CD.05:57
wisemanok how do I GET TO gparted then when I have the CD\05:58
mlissnerwiseman: You can install it to a live USB disk, or to your existing ubuntu install05:58
mintuxhow to password or encryption for files ? that could not opened in otherlinux or os or ... ?05:58
wisemanso what the hell good is the cd then?05:58
snapeusb joystick is not working with visual boy advance using vba express frontend, any help plz05:58
mlissnerwiseman: Or, there are liveCD's that come with gparted...but I don't think Ubuntu is one of 'em.05:58
mlissnerwiseman: it's for installing, I'm afraid.05:58
wisemanso....let's install it then05:59
wiseman.........05:59
sanmarcoshow can I boot the ubuntu netbook remix .img file in Vmware Fusion?05:59
mlissnerYou mean install gparted on your existing ubuntu, or install ubuntu?05:59
Seagatewiseman: GParted is very powerfully, make bake up immediately.05:59
wisemanok aparently I can just apt-get gparted, so I wasted a CD there06:00
mlissnerwiseman: They are right about the hidden flag, I just checked to see if there is one. Gparted will make flipping that flag trivial.06:01
file_filehow can i install latest version of ubuntu kernel ?06:01
mlissnerwiseman: alas.06:01
Seagatewiseman: I loss my partition cause GParted.06:01

wisemanmlissner:  check this06:01
wisemanthe windows partition that contains my iinstall data has a big orange exclamation mark  near it06:02
wisemanthats no good06:02
mlissnerwiseman: Hey you got gparted going!06:02
wisemanyeah, the CD was a waste06:02
wisemanI just used apt-get06:02
mlissnerwiseman: Actually, I think that's just to keep you on your toes.06:02
wisemangod bless apt-get06:02
wisemaneverything else has a key by it, this one has an exclamation mark06:03
file_fileis there any command to install latest ubuntu kernel ?06:03
Seagatewiseman: if you get trouble about cybercrime, use GParted. lol06:03
mlissnerwiseman: Actually, yeah, I take that back...if you right click, and go to properties, I think it will tell you what the warning is.06:03
wisemanoooh unable to read contents....possibly corrupted datas!06:03

wisemanyeah06:04
wisemanI can read my regular windows drive fine06:04
mlissnerwiseman: eek. Well, I should abstain from advise about corrupted disks.06:04
wisemanbut there's an itty bitty 1.4gb partition that contains all the stuff I need.06:04
mlissnerwiseman: Nice.06:05

anom01ywhat is a good program I can use to create flash ads06:05
mlissnerwiseman: So if you right click on the partition, and go to flags, you can see if the hidden flag is on.06:05
wisemanmlissner: I checked, that's not it06:05
wisemanseems the data is somehow corrupted06:06

wisemanwill that kill everything on it, or just clean up the file tables so it can be read?06:15
mlissnerI think partition tables are different than the file tables you're thinking of.06:16
mlissnerpartition tables are how the disk is arranged & what flags it has06:16
billytwowillydmesg says: [  264.892595]  md_d0: unknown partition table06:16
wisemanwell this is what it says to do to recover a lost partition06:16
mlissnerfile tables are the journal of which data was written where, when.06:16

wisemanlooks like I may need to get recovery disks from toshiba06:25
owen1ctmjr: when i do it i get: Checking for Xgl: not present06:26
n2diymcrawfor: look in the same directory for preferred apps.06:26
padawan32im trying to make a software so i can understand the basic and after i will think about what i want06:26
pianistbabyhello, can someone help me get pics out of my digital camera? When I plug my cam into usb cable, no screen appears. Pls help. thanks.06:26
padawan32now i just want a good structure of work06:26
wisemanand if I have those, i can just install mint on everything now\06:26
wisemanwhat do you think, mlissner06:26
nyaamb_again thanks a lot =)06:26
owen1ctmjr: btw, i use two monitors, and nvidia.06:26
ColbyIsColbyunderstand the basic?06:26
ColbyIsColbyas in, you just want to learn basic programming?06:26
mcrawforn2diy: none of the "preferred applications" settings seems to apply to cameras06:27
padawan32not just the basic but like from a to z06:27
mlissnerwiseman: sounds like a good plan to me. just be forewarned that the stupid recovery disks might not boot in virtualbox06:27
padawan32i never get to z i know its enourmous06:27
n2diymcrawfor: hmmm..06:27
ctmjrowen1: do you have composite enabled in xorg.conf06:27
mlissnerwiseman: (assuming you're interested in that)06:27
padawan32its a recreational  thing06:27
owen1ctmjr: let me see06:27
wisemaneh06:27
ColbyIsColbyI know, I do the exact same thing.06:27
wisemanI'll probably just continue the dual boot thing06:28
IcemanV9pianistbaby: launch f-spot ... then import pix from your camera06:28
ColbyIsColbyW3Schools is a main resource I look at.06:28
Pradalvris there a Ubuntu terminal command that i can use to trace email addresses06:28
wisemanmaybe even switch to mint full time06:28
pianistbabyok, i'll try IcemanV9.06:28
pianistbabyIcemanV9: f-spot says "no camera detected" 8-(06:29
mlissnerwiseman: that'd be my suggestion. I keep windows around in virtualbox...if I ever need it, I've got it. if I don't, I'm all good.06:29

ColbyIsColbyPadawan32: Do you have any language in mind?06:29

n2diymcrawfor:the same thing happens to me when I plug in a flash drive with a pic on it, I just click on no.06:29
syntaxthats the way to do mlissner06:29
mcrawforthere is no where to click "no"06:29
IcemanV9pianistbaby: disconnect the camera (leave f-spot running), then reconnect the camera06:29
mcrawforf-spot launches and an import dialog starts downloading previews06:29
mcrawforI do not use f-spot, i do not want it to launch at all06:30
mcrawfori have searched gconf for "f-spot"06:30
n2diymcrawfor: correction, I select save to disk.06:30
ctmjrowen1: try this it will give you a list of options you can try  man nvidia-xconfig   for composite you would run sudo  nvidia-xconfig --composite06:31
mcrawforn2diy: we are obviously not talking about the same thing, but thanks anyway06:31

wisemangentoo is the best linux...of 200206:32
n2diymcrawfor: your camera is just another device with files on it. Ubuntu is just quessing it is a camera, and suggesting you open the device with f-spot.06:33
mcrawforno it is not suggesting - it just opens06:33

trollboyapoleo12, it has06:36
wisemanthere are linux viruses out there06:36

apoleo12n2diy: so that's the only "protection"?06:39
lightningseedapoleo12: there are virus scanners like clamav if you really want one, They're not neccisary if you're downloading everything from ubuntus apt-repos and you're configuring your sytem correctly06:40

losherPSPUbuntu: as long as you have unused space on your 200GB partition, you can use gparted to shrink the partition. Once you free up some space, you can make a new windows partition in the freed space and mount it as a drive in windows. The only difficulty is that resizing partitions entails some risk. One mistake and you can lose your data, so it's better to have a backup. As long as you...08:54

If that's not practical, at least consider if there are any files you absolutely, positively, cannot live without, and back those up, just in case.09:14

l3dx1: rescue files with ubuntu, 2: install windows7 from dvd/usb09:42
l3dxdandaman: you'll have to boot directly from cd/dvd/usb09:42
Acidic32but yh, use mount to mount ur windows drive in linux09:42
dandamanl3dx: i did09:43
dandamanwhat it does is asks me to boot through vista09:43
dandamanit doesnt give me the option to install windows 709:43
uknow_any help would be much appreciated09:43
l3dxthen you don't boot windows 7 :)09:43
TheMusicGuyAcidic32: you can install Win 7 through linux if you're using a VM.09:43
Acidic32dandaman, just backup your files, format the windows drive, then reinstall09:43
TheMusicGuyThat's what I'm in the process of doing right now.09:43
dandamanacidic: trying to avoid that09:43
Acidic32TheMusicGuy: yes but he does not want this09:43
TheMusicGuyah.09:43
Acidic32he has linux and windows on sperate drives, probably dual-boot09:44
dandamanim sure there is a way to install windows 7 without loading from vista09:44
* TheMusicGuy reads scrollback09:44
dandamanive googled a lot though09:44
Acidic32dandaman: does the Windows 7 bootup screen comeup, when you insert the disc and restart pc?09:44
jgooall this talk of windows is getting me down :(09:44
matakscan someone help me...  i have no graphical logon screen everytime i startup my ubuntu09:44
uknow_try booting up a CD it boot befor HD09:44

dandamanplease enlighten me09:46
jgooanyone using linux mint with LXDE ??!?!? 0.o09:46
dandamanmaybe its the virus i got that is fucking with my booting from CD, but that doesnt make too much sense because the virus would only kick in once windows loads up09:46
Acidic32mmm09:47
dandamani swear, once i get this fixed i am only going to use windows for gaming09:47
Acidic32enlightenment09:47
l3dxdandaman: http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-install-windows-7vista-from-usb-drive-detailed-100-working-guide/ <- I used this guide to setup my usb, then I changed BIOS settings to use the usb as primary boot device. then I booted the win7 install process (without loading any OS)09:47
jeffthreeafter editing /etc/console-tools/config and tryiing various vga= options in /boot/grub/menu.lst is still replaced by a different font about a third of the way through boot and I must reset it with consolechars, how can i prevent this?09:47

TheMusicGuydandaman: so you're saying you burned the win7 bootable iso and booted your pc into it, yet it still forces you to start the OS on your HD?09:48
dandamanTheMusicGuy: yes09:49
Gneajoey_: is your antenna up in the air?09:49
TheMusicGuythat's nuts.09:49

diddyGnea: Why is it better. pico/nano are totally intuitive whereas vi is a pain in the neck/butt, etc09:51
itch_Hello guys. I`v just upgrade my 8.10 to 9.04 and it seems that there are some issues with the repos and packages. For example, when I wanna apt-get install vlc I get an error about unmet dependencies,  and the package is not installable. Any suggestion on what might cause this ?09:51
TheMusicGuydiddy: that's only if you're new to it.09:51
Gneadiddy: pico/nano are for new users who are used to simplicity. vi is for people who require more versatility, such as programmers.09:51
TheMusicGuydiddy: vi is in many ways easier to use after its been learned.09:51
dsnydersdiddy, vi was written back in the day when you accessed a mainframe over a 300 baud modem.09:51
sn1pervim?09:51
Gneayeah, vim rocks09:52
TheMusicGuydiddy: nano, on the other hand, remains limited even after learning it.09:52

Gneasn1per: I like vim, but if you're an emacs geek/nerd, then I wouldn't bother09:53
sn1peri am not09:53
Acidic32vim is cool09:53
sn1perlol09:53
diddyThe problem is that I HAVE TO learn vi for a Linux exam. So I have no choice. Is there a better way to learn vi than to go through everything in the man page?09:53
TheMusicGuyuknow_: which xconfig util do you want?09:53
Gneaoh ok09:53

dandamanits what i downloaded off microsoft for windows 710:03
Kennie`TheMusicGuy: egrep '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo10:03

A4TechI have to netbook installed Ubuntu Net book remix. I put Empathy and when you import user accounts, I was asked to unlock the key ring. What password to enter? Password for the account is not suitable.10:04
dandamanok...10:04
GneaGreenwell: yeah, when your computer boots into Ubuntu, it uses a boot manager called grub.  grub reads from a configuration file, located at /boot/grub/menu.lst in which contains boot flag parameters for each items in the menu that boots automatically, by default10:04
TheMusicGuyKennie`: I get this:10:05
TheMusicGuyflags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts pnidtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm lahf_lm tpr_shadow10:05
Kennie`so it has10:05
GneaGreenwell: so when it boots up and gives you 3 or 4 seconds to press ESC, it will take you to where you can change options temporarily10:05
GreenwellGnea: Thanks so much10:05
GreenwellI will try it10:05
CptnAwesomeis there an easy way (other then re-installing) to get back to a CLI install, with all the other crap uninstalled?10:05
dandamanbarely any actives in windows :\10:05
GneaGreenwell: or if you want to edit the file by hand, you can do that via sudo and get the same results, just add pci=routeirq  to the end of the first 'kernel' line10:06
Gneadandaman: give it time.10:06
matakshelp pls.. i have nvidia 7300gt graphic card.. where can i get the driver for my ubuntu.. anyone?10:06
GreenwellGnea: Can you explain what that option will do for the IRQ?10:06
TheMusicGuydandaman: you should try burning a different bootable CD and see what your PC does with it10:06
Gneamataks: System->Administration->Hardware Drivers10:06
dandamanyeah im downloading vista again10:06
GneaGreenwell: it re-routes the way the linux kernel handles IRQs10:06
Gneadandaman: maybe you need to burn it at a slower speed10:07
GreenwellGnea: Does it look from logs that I might indeed have such a conflict?10:07
mataksGnea: ok thnx i'll try10:07
GneaGreenwell: it's possible, worth a shot10:07

TheMusicGuyI.e. is it any faster?10:22

GneaLexLuth0r: I told you, you need to use it with sudo.  just run it like this:  sudo chmod yada yada10:23

stefgkoltroll: is there any hardwaee switch for the wireless? (even on hotkeys like Fn+F2)10:48
TheMusicGuyBiggBoss: type java and hit TAB once or twice10:48
cooper77zhey, themusicguy should I increase, decrease, or leave alone font rendering?10:49
TheMusicGuycooper77z: rendering scheme is optional. use whatever looks best.10:49
koltrollStefg, yes there is. and it is fn+f2. And I have tried that. It flashes "Network radio off", I press it again and get a "Network radio on". ATM I'm using a wireless usb-card, and it got affected by the fn+f2. But not the internal wcard.10:49
cooper77zthemusicguy, but what will make everything smaller higher numbers or lower?10:50

TheMusicGuycooper77z: smaller numbers10:50
FlannelDrNick_: this channel will work fine.  We do also have #ubuntu-server though10:51

I mount the upload partition with fstab so I was thinking fmode and dmode should work but I'm not sure where to write it? And will this work? =)11:14
BiggBossyes Myrtti11:14

BiggBosshow can i launch it?11:18
TheMusicGuyclick the icon, or type gksudo synaptic11:18
JohnyBiggBoss, then search for what package ur asking and try to install11:19
JohnyBiggBoss, it have to work11:19
jribpisse: right, that link seems to be discussing samba.  With ftp you probably have similar options you can set in the configuration options for the ftpd you use.  Your options with ssh/scp afaik are to either change user's umask and set the folder setgid (so contents inherits group ownership) or use Access Control Lists (ACLs).  For ACLs see « man getfacl » and « man setfacl » as well as the "acl" option11:19
jrib in « man mount » that you need to enable11:19

bluespukehi, how can i  use an external usb cardreader under jaunty?11:21

Edico_I have a problem, at some perriod of time I'm logged out from my system, and it appears a message like, "common unix printing system ..." I had not time to read it all11:21
TheMusicGuyBiggBoss: the .bin from Sun's website its an executable binary. You have to give it executable permissions.11:22
Edico_how I solve that?11:22
BiggBossi did with chmod +x11:22
BiggBossTheMusicGuy*11:22
Johnystrange..11:22
jribBiggBoss: you should be using synaptic, not the .bin...11:22

pissejrib: ok, I don't have ACL, you think I should get it or change users umask? (I have no clue how to change users umask) I mean, which way is the easier, more understandable? :)11:23
jribBiggBoss: system -> administration -> synaptic11:23
TheMusicGuyBiggBoss: uploading synaptic to the machine? what?11:23

Edico_durt_, how can I see all the text, that was writen? There is a log somewhere?11:23

koltrollstefg, Got into bios, and simply found "Wlan : disabled".. changed it to enabled and voliá.11:24
jribBiggBoss: and please address who you are speaking to11:24
TheMusicGuyBiggBoss: in that case, synaptic is no use to you.11:24
BiggBossjrib thats what i use, but didnt use11:24
jribBiggBoss: "but didn't use"?  What do you mean?11:24
stefgkoltroll: :-) ... something told me that before ...11:24
BiggBossjrib soz, but didnt work*11:24
jribBiggBoss: pastebin the error11:24
Edico_durt_, which one of them?11:24
durt_Edico_, syslog or messages or is there a log specific for cups?11:25
jribpisse: do you understand what umask is?  You'll have to change the user's umask "globally" whereas ACLs you can specify for just that directory11:25
TheMusicGuyBiggBoss: the closest thing to synaptic if you only have command line access is aptitude11:25
Edico_durt_, yes I have a log fo cups11:25
TheMusicGuybut if you know the exact packages you want, then you can just use apt-get11:26
maurizinhociao11:26
pissejrib: I don't understand what umask is. I'm just interested in this particular directory, so maybe ACLs is the way to go?11:26
TheMusicGuyBiggBoss: otherwise, run aptitude and type / to start searching for packages by name.11:26
koltrollstefg, you wouldn't know how to get all these different eeepc-specific things so that you can controll bluetooth and so on. There as SO many eeepc-distros out there so I just don't know where to look.11:26

stefgHajuu: If you've set a root password that's against the advice and suggested policy in ubuntu... please read the !root factoid before moaning12:03
ackehey, what apps for ubuntu would you recommend to turn it into a media center?12:03
avelldirollHajuu, it's more like "you don't have to put a password to access rescue mode if you never set a root password"12:03
stefg!root | Hajuu12:03
ubottuHajuu: 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/RootSudo12:03
HajuuWow, is it? I definately shouldnt secure my root, when using it for something.12:03
jribHajuu: hard to find if you just keep rambling on12:03
linduxedahahaha12:03
linduxedbest ubottu answer ever12:04
avelldirollHajuu, you could chroot your install from a live system though12:04
durtacke, check out the mythbuntu package12:04
nikolateslaacke: try xmbc12:04
ackedurt, and if i dont want to use myth?12:04
Hajuu"Just dont use root, then you wont have to reset the password! whats that, you set one and its not working suddenly? Thats ok, just dont set a password in the firstplace. Whats that, you want to use the root account for something because you're not a complete nubcake? Just dont! Problem solved!"12:05
HajuuThanks so much for your help.12:05
ackei dont find mythubuntu to be as user/install-friendly as i would want.. :P12:05
jribBiggBoss: ok.  The good news is, that makes sense with regards to the update-java-alternatives command.  The bad news is that makes no sense if you have sun-java6-jdk installed12:05
durtacke, then I don't know, specify that in your question next time.12:05

HajuuYes, let me reitterate the question.12:06
BiggBossjrib: what can i do then to get jdk? unstall and make a fress install?12:06
ackedurt, sry thanks alot..12:06
HajuuHey, not sure how, but apparently it would seem that after two days of not using this VM, all its passwords have somehow become corrupted or something. I have the passwords written down even, but none are working. "invalid password".. How can I reset the root password to atleast get access?12:06
HajuuHavent even used it, and the last time I did it was all working perfectly.12:06
nikolateslahow do i download or purchase a virtualbox with usb support12:06
nikolateslaose does not have usb support12:06
bazhangnikolatesla, from the virtual box site12:06
jribHajuu: what VM?12:06
nikolateslais there a cost bazhang?12:07
Hajuujrib: Hm, do you mean what am I using to run it? VMware12:07
bazhangnikolatesla, no it's free (as in cost)12:07
jribnikolatesla: no, just the freedom to see the source code12:07
nikolateslathor: i am in the dc arrea12:07
nikolateslajrib so how is that different than ose12:07
nikolateslait is closed source?12:07

jribnikolatesla: the usb support is12:07
nikolateslaok12:08
nikolateslai am gonna try again to install xp with virtualbox12:08
nikolateslais it better to use an install cd or iso12:08
jribHajuu: you should be able to boot from a live cd in the vm, mount the ubuntu install, chroot, and use passwd12:08
nikolateslai got the xp install cabs down to 127mb with nlite12:08
Padlpmaohi, i have probleme with firefox, it always start in off line mode..12:08
bazhangnikolatesla, the cd (though both will work)12:08
Hajuujrib: right. Thanks. See that wasnt so hard once we got through all the 'YOU DID WHAT TO ROOT?'12:09
nikolateslapad: this happened to me after kenerl upgrade12:09
nikolateslathanks baz12:09
Blizzerandwhy can't iso 's be in the form of bz2 or tar.gz or so ( and therefore reduce the download length)12:09
jribHajuu: root isn't necessary at all, use sudo :)12:09
nikolateslapad: try using grub to boot to an earlier kernel12:09
Hajuu... You don't even know what i'm doing.12:09
jribHajuu: I know it isn't necessary12:10
HajuuBut thanks for the advice!12:10
Hajuulol12:10
HajuuSure, i'm definately not a developer.12:10
dabj01hah-joo12:10
HajuuI'll use sudo, that will be way easier..12:10
jribHajuu: it's your machine though, I don't care what you do with it.  Just giving you advice like you said12:10
HajuuGood advice. Cheers.12:10
jribHajuu: Do you know about « sudo -i »?12:10
HajuuI do indeed.12:10
nikolateslahow can i install xp on the same drive partition as ubuntu12:10
Padlpmaothere is an boot cd "grub boot cd"12:10
nikolateslai dont want to boot to xp, i just wanna run in virtualbox12:11
jribBiggBoss: let's purge these packages and start over, yeah.  sudo aptitude purge sun-java6-jre sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jdk, then reinstall them12:11
tafadzwahi guys12:11
HajuuAnyway, more pressing issue to me is how while turned off, not only my root password but seemingly all user passwords seem to have become corrupt in a VM not even connected to the network12:11
bazhangnikolatesla, virtualbox will have a file of X GB in size that will exist on top of your ubuntu install12:11

Hajuu<312:12
avelldirollHajuu, dis you change the keyboard mapping in between your uses of the VM?12:12
dabj01Hajuu, just a dumb though... not advice, you can thank me for my dumb thought. But your host of the VM is corrupted by a nasty virus from some less than reputable website.12:12

durtwhitesiiide, just ask your question12:51
whitesiiidecheese durt.12:51
LattywareCopyWriter: Unless it's changed Automatix was horrible in the past.12:51
dabj01whitesiiide: from what i've heard wine is a large project with a lot of followers/support and probably has their own support system12:51
frogzoo!wine12:52
ubottuWINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu12:52
mocker3 just make sure you've got sub threshold pixel rendering enabled12:52
frogzooalso #winehq12:52
mocker3how to check that frogzoo ?12:52
LattywareCopyWriter: Also, a quick search says that neither of those two work with 9.04.12:52
pisecxGuys, where can I read about how to create my own service, which will load automatically during startup? Also I would like to have possibilities to use command like "service myservice start", etc..12:52
whitesiiideive installed counter strike source but after a restart cant find  the lanch12:52
frogzoomocker3: sys -> prefs -> appearance -> fonts12:52
Lattywarepisecx: Look up init.d / rc.d, I forget which ubuntu uses12:52
pisecxLattyware: is it the best way to do it?12:53
CopyWritercan you recommend something Lattyware12:53
pisecxLattyware: I heard about chkconfig12:53
durtwhitesiiide, search in the .wine dir for the .exe or in applications-> other12:53
whitesiiidealready tried12:53
Lattywarepisecx: I'm no expert on the matter, but the system behind services are init.d or rc.d depending on the distro.12:54
LattywareCopyWriter: I can try, what do you want?12:54
pisecxLattyware: ok, will investigate it, thanks12:54

roflparrothi #ubuntu . I messed with firefox and now it can't 'go back' or save bookmarks or display the url in the address bar or refresh.

sammyFhey everybody. not really ubuntu specific, but could someone tell how to send a list of arguments stored in a textfile to rsync? I tried a lot of things (some of which were just stupid but I was desperate), two of which are in http://pastebin.com/m1b572dd8 but somehow xargs doesn't seem to want to split the lines correctly and I'm out of ideas14:09

mycosyshey guys - got a recommendation of easiest way to move OS to another drive, the one i am using is too noisy. would prefer to to it from a bash, but, either way is good14:11
durtSudobindun, then configuration is happening with network manager, which I am unfamiliar with.14:11
bullgard4dragan: Your question is difficult to understand. Please re-word it.14:12
sammyFmycosys: I might be mistaken, but you just need to copy everything to the new drive, and reinstall grub on it. afterward, you can just boot from it and everything should be fine14:12
Sudobindunmm okies its very odd issue eh,, I expect it to cure itself within a week or so,,Ill plug it in one day and it will reconnect for some reason who knows ,,14:12
mycosysthat would end up being a recursive copy i would think14:12
ubbyre14:12
mycosysunfortunately the target drive is not infinitely large14:13
sammyFmycosys: well, /dev, /sys, /proc /tmp and probably /media don't need to be copied14:13
sammyFmycosys: I don't know whether the system creates the directories, so you might need to create them manually on the target drive, but apart from that, I don't see how it would be recursive14:14
sammyFmycosys: I migrated my system to a bigger drive a year or so ago and it worked14:15
unopsammyF, xarg -0  implies that input coming in is null-terminated - but in both of your cases, they aren't14:15
mycosysty :)14:16
unopsammyF, also, rsync has the ability to read from a file containing options directly14:16
sammyFunop: that's what I thought, which is why I tried it by replaceing \n with \0 (or \d000 at one point)14:16
sammyFunop: oops. didn't know about THAT. back to the man page then14:17
sam_So here's more of a general question: Is there any for-sure way to download software on linux? It seems everything has 9 different, home-brewish ways of doing things...14:17
unopsammyF, but sed's buffer space is newline delimited .. so any operations within sed have no concept of the newline14:17

Sj4lutHej guys.. I'm having some problems with trying to scan with canon pixma mp190... I've installed drivers for this device (printing ans scanning) it prints just fine, but when I try to scan with xsane it captures the picture from TVcard? What is going on? Let me say just one more time that I've installed drivers for linus 1/2 works (printing) from this device, I just have to setup scanner from this device. Any suggestions?14:20
sammyFsam_: first try synaptics, then try pages like getdeb if you don't find what you want in synaptics, and if THAT failt, get the source code and compile yourself. THe last one sounds daunting, but once you' have done it once it gets really easy generally. Most of the time, compiling is just calling "./configure" then "make" and then "sudo make install"14:20
Padhusergeykish: on the fly its works. Is it possible in ubuntu?14:21

mazda01_Islington: oh, it starts with an "I" not a "l" very confussing.. thanks for telling me hot to re-enable that.15:05
nannesWoodstock '69.. I would have loved to be there  :'(15:05
chris-dowleTrijntje: you could tell them to switch to a terminal and kill the x server, it should just restart if nothing has been fiddled around with15:06
Myrttinannes: so would I, but that's a bit offtopic for this channel, try #ubuntu-offtopic?15:06
mazda01_Islington: do I have to run that sudo dontzap --disable for every session or just run it once?15:06
Islingtonmazda01, just once15:06
auntieNeoTrijntje: typically when X freezes, it doesn't even listen to ctrl+alt+backspace...15:07
bernardlychananyone know how to make ubuntu desktop a 3d cube?15:07
durt!compiz > bernardlychan15:07
ubottubernardlychan, please see my private message15:07
auntieNeoTrijntje: so you usually end up doing a alt+sysrq+r and then changing to a terminal15:07
mazda01_Trijntje: yeah, they ussually have to go to another console. ctrl-alt-F1 thru F6, then issue sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop  and sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start. I think that's the command15:07
IslingtonauntieNeo, really I just go to a tty215:08

george1hi, I have an IBM Thinkpad x31 and I have recently loaded the latest version of ubuntu.  However, it is running REALLY slowly!   xorg (idont even know what this is!) is using 30 to 40% of the CPU (1.6ghz) when idle.  Can anyone help?  thanks (btw im a newbie)15:08
aaronvarghesehi15:08
chris-dowlemazda01_: why not restart?15:08
auntieNeoTrijntje: if you have a shitty keyboard, alt+sysrq won't send the correct keysym15:08
auntieNeoTrijntje: keyboards are supposed to send a seperate keysym with alt+sysrq15:09
auntieNeowhich is why it's special15:09
mazda01_george1: xorg is what allows you to be in a gui. gnome, kde, xfce or similar desktop15:09
auntieNeoeven cheap keyboards will work with sysrq though15:09
TrijntjeauntieNeo: i like my keyboard...15:09
durtauntieNeo, Trijntje also dvorak and other keyboard layouts will be different15:09
mazda01_chris-dowle: restart what?  you don't need to restart ubuntu most of the time, you can just restart the service or restart X15:09
auntieNeo<--- dvorak user ;P15:09
richardcavellaaronvarghese: WHY ARE YOU FTPING AND TELNETING INTO MY BOX?15:10
Hajuulmao15:10
chris-dowlemazda01_: i was talking about the service15:10
george1mazda01: ah ok!  so is there any way of making it run more efficiently??  surely it shouldnt be using 40% sometimes more of the 1.6ghz cpu?!?!15:10
richardcavellGuys, this aaronvarghese wanted someone to remote desktop him, so I tried to.  Next thing I know, he's on ports 21 and 2315:10
Islingtongeorge1, kill both gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-power-manager15:10

mazda01_richardcavell:  disconnect your internet, then tighten up your ports15:13
Hajuulol disconnect your computer.15:14
Hajuuand just.. never turn it back on. Problem solved.15:14
george1islington, ok both ended but they werent using any cpu anyway.  system monitor doesnt show any processes as using any cpu its only when i type top into the console that i can see the usage by xorg...15:14
danliiI just installed a new system, with the root file system as a raid0 device (used the mdadm tools in the partitioner during installation) and now it won't boot, doesn't even come as far as to GRUB. What could be wrong? I tried setting the bootable flag on the first partition on the first disk used in the raid, but it didn't make a difference.15:14
mazda01_richardcavell: isn't there a way to disconnect a particular connection? you can find out what port he's on by issueing netstat -pant15:14
candrodorpant?  Seriously?15:15
mazda01_candrodor: i don't know, that's what I use. eveyrone does things differently15:15
richardcavellI used an iptables rule to block his IP altogether15:15
candrodorI'm just being immature, that's all ;)15:15
lor-dgive me example for iptables richardcavell15:15
Hajuulol wow!15:16
HajuuYou must be an engineer or something to be so smart richardcavell15:16
mazda01_richardcavell:  i installed denyhosts  and just add ips to the hosts.deny file.15:16

Hajuulol, because hackers only use one ip15:16
richardcavellskullbox: you can get it through whois15:16
th0rrichardcavell: don't you have a default DROP policy?15:16
mazda01_richardcavell: he wanted me to help him yesterday. he kept asked me for my ip. can we inform the channel or something to not allow him to coinnect anymore?15:17
skullboxoh lol i thought he u were gonna remote with him or something lol15:17
richardcavellth0r: I should but somehow he got in15:17
Gamma-XWhen using gparted, What does moving the partition to the right actually do?15:17
richardcavellmazda01_: we should watch for him15:17
Hajuulol15:17

frogzoo1Gamma-X: it rewrites the partition table, then extends the file system15:17
th0rrichardcavell: I have recently developed a real appreciation for firestarter....blocks everything by default and then you poke holes15:18
Forza4Lifehello everyone15:18
HajuuFIREWALLS? who's heard of that..15:18
Hajuuyou guys are crazy hahah15:18
skullboxth0r, u do know that firestarter hasnt been supported in years right lol15:18
HajuuHI aaronvarghese15:18
richardcavellth0r: I got rid of it in favour of gufw but I like the fact that Firestarter shows me Active Connections15:18
danliiNobody knows how to make a raid0 root system boot with grub?15:18
th0rskullbox: right, but look at fwbuilder and then, after you have decided to dump it...try firestarter15:18
skullboxmeh15:19
Gamma-Xfrogzoo1, If I move the boot partition to the right ( on Thumbdrive ) If I create another partition on the left side, will that second partition popup in windows as the first partition?15:19
mazda01_th0r: i have a router with built in hardware firewall, so I am glad I don't have to play around with software firewall15:19
skullboxgufw ftw15:19
frogzoo1Gamma-X: you'll find you can't move the beginning of partitions...15:20
Boohbahskullbox: shorewall ftw :)15:20
JEEBczHey, which ATi driver is better for the 'first-gen' Radeons?15:20
mazda01_richardcavell: so is there a way to view netstat -pant and just kill a connection to a certain ip?15:20
th0rmazda01_: yeah, I liked having a router, but now I depend on open wifi at marinas and such so....15:20
BoohbahJEEBcz: the open source one works well for older radeons15:20
Gamma-Xfrogzoo1, ok thanks15:20
skullboxBoohbah, Backtracks FTW!!!!!15:20
richardcavellmazda01_: well I used the iptables rule since it was an emergency15:20

bullgard4What executable file is associated with the process knotify? '~$ ps -ef; ...; detlef   15751     1  0 Jul23 ?        00:00:00 knotify [kdeinit]'. What do the square brackets mean?15:21
Boohbahmazda01_: nope, but depending on whether your daemon process forks for every new connection, it may have its own PID15:21
JEEBczBoohbah, that got installed on the 9.04 I installed onto my friend's PC - but even Enemy Territory doesn't really run with it it seems :/ Which is quite weird given the fact that it should run. glxgears gives 800fps or so15:21
george1aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh15:22
th0rmazda01_: that is why I like firestarter. It defaults to letting nothing in, and it is easy to define new policy exceptions15:22
mazda01_Boohbah: so if I know a pid for a certain connection, then I can just kill that pid and the connection to the ip will be killed15:22
th0rmazda01_: not all of us are trying to rule the world...sometimes easy is good enough15:22
mazda01_th0r: what do you mean?15:22
JEEBczAlso, tested the extended version of tuxracer and that got sub-1fps framerates :/15:22

Trijntjehi @n00bster15:23
JEEBczIs there any way to get OpenGL to work on this fellow (well, it works but far from well it seems)15:23
Boohbahmazda01_: yes, but not all daemons fork a new process per connection and even the ones that do can be configured not to... so what exactly is he connecting to?15:23
th0rmazda01_: if you look at the other options mentioned....fwbuilder, shorewall, gufw, they all allow you to do LOTS of things with the firewall, but they are all cumbersome to use. Sometimes, like the old movie line, do one thing, do it well, then move on15:23

* JEEBcz sees that RV100-200 Radeon GPUs should work fully >_> Is not pleased15:26
mazda01_th0r: so you're saying that just using iptables staright away instead of messing with gui's is the easiest? there are so many guides for adding rules for iptables.15:26

Gamma-XThe file /mnt/sdc1/bt4/boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly.15:27
mazda01_th0r: and which gui is that easy?15:28
th0rmazda01_: I use nonstandard ports for all my services...well...I run almost everything via a tunnel on a non-standard ssh port. So I need to open and shut ports as I need them.15:28
th0rmazda01_: firestarter15:28
mazda01_th0r:  got it15:28
n00bsteri really got no idea, why wlan0 shows no ap's, the pc i use now(m$) is also connected via wifi, so my ubuntu should list at least one ap....15:28
n00bster...the same with wicd15:29
th0rmazda01_: have you tried firestarter? It really is worth a look...too bad they stopped supporting it. But I have frozen my install so I don't have to worry about that15:29
mazda01_n00bster: didi you try   sudo iwlist interfacehere scan15:29
richardcavellth0r: I don't know any program that does a better job than firestarter15:30

Hajuuhaha sorry, i'll just offer good gems of knowledge like him xD15:31
LinuxGoldis there any latest cacti in deb package ?15:31
th0rmazda01_: exactly, it is worth putting on the laptop so when you do go out you have it. Never know what kind of config you need at a given site, and firestarter makes it really easy to reconfigure15:31
ikoniaHajuu: if you don't agree, that's fine, but stop singling him out for smart comments. It ends now15:31

richardcavellWhat I would like is some software that can identify when packets have been rejected and flag them to me15:40
durtth0r, with paying attention to your conversation, I recommend arnos-iptables-firewall15:40
candrodorBoohbah: I've tried a few sort of CDs, audio, data.15:40
Boohbahrichardcavell: iptables and all its frontends can do that15:40
richardcavellBoohbah: I know Firestarter keeps a log but I would rather have something else15:41
edbianBoohbah: What are some front ends to iptables?15:41
candrodorI know the CD drive itself works, as I installed Ubuntu last night on it.15:41
shiznebiti though identifying packets was sniffer's job15:41
richardcavellI use gkrellm to monitor my bandwidth moment to moment15:41

coz_richardcavell,  http://linux.softpedia.com/downloadTag/iptables+GUI   this is alist of frontends  not sure of any of them  though15:41
coz_richardcavell,  not even sure if they are all linux based apps15:42
Boohbahrichardcavell: maybe look into snort or nagios too, though those can get pretty advanced15:42
shiznebitwhats the point of the firewall though ?15:42
shiznebitarent all ports blocked by default15:42
coz_richardcavell,  those listed with a "k" at the beginning are most likely KDE applications  so dont use them if on gnome15:42

richardcavellth0r: it's terrific.15:43
durtth0r, no screen shots, just an exstensive script.15:43
mazda01_shiznebit: no, i don't think iptables has any default rules. it's the fact that ubuntu doesn't have any running services by default15:43
richardcavellth0r: I use it because my internet connection is a bit unreliable and if I have sent out an http request I want to know if there's anything coming or not15:43
coz_richardcavell,  gtk-iptables   http://gtk-iptables.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html15:43
Boohbahmazda01_: which makes it much more secure on a default install than redhat-distros15:44
mazda01_Boohbah: why, what does redhat have listening by default?15:44
th0rrichardcavell: that, and I want to know if something starts transmitting without my permission. I also keep an eye on system resources in case something goes bezerk and ties up the cpu or memory15:44
Boohbahmazda01_: all sorts of stuff15:45

kedar1Hi! Want to know the differences between what "free" reports and what System Monitor shows as free memory. The outputs differ vastly16:20
LinuxGoldkedarl: try top16:21
LinuxGoldit's more detailed than just "free"16:21
burkmatkedar1, Not 100% sure about the specific apps you mention, but I notice huge differences between top/htop and so, it's because some apps count cached data as memory in use... could be.16:21
frogzoo1kedar1: free includes buffer allocations, which use a lot of space16:21
Titan8990kedar1, cat /proc/meminfo16:21
pagodai'm trying to compile ndiswrapper (even though i shouldn't need it) and i get this error: Makefile:35: *** Cannot find kernel version in /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/build, is it configured?. Stop.16:21
th0rthepeon: you need the localhost defined in /etc/hosts16:22
burkmatthepeon, Hm... How are they connected? Any routers that might be giving you a hard time? Or is this all local, on the same subnet?16:22
kedar1but on the 8g RAM machine, free shows that only 1g is available!16:22
kedar1That's clearly not correct, I guess.16:22
Titan8990pagoda, you need the kernel headers for your kernel (in other distro you would need the entire source tree)16:22
thepeonburkmat, router and switch between, but have never had an ssh issue with this router16:22
kedar1ok, I should rely on Sys Monitor I think.16:22
pagodaTitan8990: how do i get those?16:22
LinuxGoldkedarl: it should be -- allocated to be used for Operating System.16:22
Titan8990pagoda, so, because you are not doing things the proper way, you could possible need the source tree16:22
kedar1I will definitely try top as well.16:22
LinuxGoldit doesn't mean that it is already in use, just "allocated"16:23
pagodaTitan8990: what is the proper way?16:23
Titan8990pagoda, through the package manager, where you should get everything, including ndiswrapper16:23
haanujwhat is "Segment fault(Core Dumped)"16:23
thepeonth0r, local host defined as 192.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts16:23

nanneskedar1:   -.- what do you want your server to do?16:40
thepeonth0r, I'll take another look16:40
th0rthepeon: just use the ip...ssh 192.168.1.116:40
MrKorruptim having problems with my ubuntu 9.0416:40
kedar1nannes -- I want it to host my web applications.16:40
MrKorruptit doesnt play the sound16:40
thepeonth0r, tried that as well16:40
MrKorruptis anyone willing to help me16:40
burkmatthepeon, probably sound stupid, but are you sure 192.168.1.1 is your server and not the router? ^^16:40
th0rburkmat: that was my next question <smile>16:41
thepeonopps, sorry, ip is 192.168.1.10316:41
burkmatlol16:41
ztw4726thepeon: try   nc 192.168.1.1 22   you should see something like: SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.7p1 Debian-8ubuntu1.216:41
burkmatthepeon, does it work with `ssh mike@192.168.1.103`? :P16:41
nanneskedar1: so you need to install apache web server, mysql (with phpmyadmin) and when it's all ready you have to register to a static DNS SERVER for example dynDNS16:41
thepeonburkmat, nope16:41
kedar1nannes- correct. I gather that.16:42
th0rthepeon: or you can telnet to port 22 and see the same I think16:42
thepeonztw4726, would I run that on the server or client?16:42
burkmatthepeon, do what ztw4726 said, but with the right ip. `nc 192.168.1.103 22`.16:42
MrKorruptanyone :-(16:42
burkmatthepeon, client.16:42
nanneskedar1: it's to obtain an hostname which is always associated to your IP16:42
kedar1But I need to make sure that I know where to look for when "system problems" strike16:42
ztw4726thepeon: on the client if 192.168.1.1 is the servers's ip16:42
kedar1I think going from a "hosted service" to your own machines hosting your applications is a great leap ...16:42
_Lucretia_ok, found it16:43
mazda01_Titan8990: actually installing sSMTP removed exim4 and all it's dependencies16:43
kedar1I want to do it step by step, if possible.16:43
thepeonztw4726 burkmat it's sitting, no connection no error yet16:43
kedar1I am willing to learn by going wrong, but need to know a good starting point.16:43
Titan8990mazda01, nice, a server can only have one smtp server16:43
th0rthepeon: yeah...you aren't making the trip to the server...the router or switch is blocking it16:43
nanneskedar1: LinuxGold told you yet... GOOGLE!16:43
kedar1:)16:43
ztw4726thepeon: then you cannot reach the server on tcp port 2216:44
burkmatkedar1, Well, for a webserver just install Ubuntu Server with LAMP and start playing around. It's all there.16:44
kedar1google, yes, of course. But there are some issues i think16:44
ztw4726thepeon: check if any iptables rules on the server block incoming traffic16:44
LinuxGoldcough, is sshd up and running?16:44
burkmatthepeon, on server, `iptables -L`16:44
kedar1e.g. free vs System Monitor, your system's syslog etc. Basic disk partitioning ...16:44
kedar1burkmat -- yes, I have done just that.16:45
ztw4726LinuxGold: if sshd wasn't running he would get "connection refused"16:45
th0rthepeon: and while you are on the server....'ps ax | grep sshd' and make sure the ssh server is running16:45
mazda01_Titan8990: /usr/local/ssmtp/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf  isn't even there? I am doing a locate on it now16:45
kedar1yes, I will keep on playing with it and coming back to #ubuntu which is a great resource!16:45
SammI am having a problem with my Atheros Wlan adapter.  I am running Ubuntu 9.04. My HP Atheros was working fine until today when I turned it on, it would connect to my wireless network but would see other networks in the Network Applet. So, to see if it would help, I opened System>Administration>Hardware Drivers and enables the madwifi drivers and rebooted, and I could not see any networks at all. I rebooted into Windows (which I only use for16:45
nanneskedar1: you'll find those thing, too16:45
LinuxGoldkedarl: BTW, welcome!16:45
thepeonth0r, yest, it's running16:45
nanneskedar1: only if you start googling16:45
thepeonburkmat: what I'm i looking for in the iptables?16:45
Titan8990mazda01, try /etc/ssmtp16:45
LinuxGoldkedarl: I suggest linuxquestions.org16:46
burkmatthepeon, Any rules regarding port 22. if this was a clean install though you shouldn't have any rules?16:46
LinuxGoldand lurk there.16:46
th0rthepeon: is the server in service right now or it is new? I would disable iptables rules for now16:46
LinuxGoldthe more you read, the more you will learn16:46
kedar1  Thanks LinuxGold. I will park on LinuxQuestions.org16:47
kedar1How about Ubuntu forums?16:47
LinuxGoldthat too16:47
LinuxGoldlinuxquestions is more geared at linux by itself.16:47
LinuxGoldthe more you learn about linux, the more you will be able to understand ubuntu16:47
nanneskedar1: I suggest you to use Ubuntu Server Edition16:47
thepeonburkmat ztw4726 nothing for port 2216:47
ztw4726thepeon: how did you check?16:48
=== ante_ is now known as _ante_
burkmatthepeon, Just making sure here: You have a Server connected to a LAN port on a router which does not firewall internal traffic, and on the same router you have, also plugged into a LAN port, a switch, and to that you have your client? So the only "smart" device between Server and Client is a router, which is not the culprit?16:48
th0rthepeon: it might not be  specific to port 22.16:48
mazda01_Titan8990: found it, can you suggest what I need to change to have it so that gmail smtp servers sends mail or don't I need to do that?16:48
nanneskedar1: about partitions... as you like!! for example create a new partition for /tmp and format it with ReiserFS16:48
thepeonburkmat yes (but switch is between router and server16:48
LinuxGold(I'm thinking if apache is up and running, should thepeon check if he is able to see it from desktop?)16:48
kedar1Thank you folks. I agree, the more I know of Linux, the more I will enjoy Ubuntu.16:49
burkmatthepeon, Alright.16:49
nanneskedar1: another partition for /var/  (for example on ext3 or ext4 if compatibility is ok)16:49
LinuxGoldkedarl: if someone advise you to do "rm -rf /"  DO NOT DO IT!16:49
th0rthepeon: is this server in active service or new?16:49
thepeonth0r, new16:49
burkmat!danger | LinuxGold16:49
ubottuLinuxGold: DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you!16:49
nanneskedar1: and another also for the webserver files, and certainly you mustn't forget root partition with all the rest16:50
th0rthepeon: then I would suggest flushing all the iptables rules momentarily to see if the firewall is the culprit (iptables -F on the server)16:50
SammRunning Ubuntu 9.04, I am unable to connect on a HP-Atheros AR242x. This morning I couldn't connect, but could see networks using the Network Applet. To try and remedy the problem, I enabled madwifi, and now I can see no networks, neither in Ubuntu nor Windows. I disable the madwifi drivers, but the problem persists. Anything I can do to fix my wlan card?16:50
thepeonth0r: trying now, looks like it's going to timeout again16:51
ztw4726thepeon: does the server have more than one ethernet interface?16:51

th0rthepeon: is there a firewall on the desktop?16:51
thepeonztw4726, yes, but it's not currently connected16:52
burkmatztw4726, Good question. ;)16:52
thepeonth0r, no16:52
th0rthepeon: then it is a problem in the router....has to be16:52
burkmatth0r, or sshd is listening on the wrong NIC!16:52
th0rburkmat: he said he could ping the server and ssh server to desktop, so the nic should be good16:52
th0rburkmat: ...oh...didn't think of that (doooh)16:53
lenswipeif im logged into an ubuntu machine through ssh and there is a local user logged in is there a way to have a message box appear on the local users screen?16:53

narcoclepsydoes anyone know how i can "reset" pulse audio? ever since i used alsamixer once, pulse audio seems to have given up16:54

narcoclepsymy volume control has become ineffetive.16:54
burkmatztw4726, Ah... True. must be something dropping packets rather than rejecting...16:54
ztw4726burkmat: that's why i suggested running tcpdump on the server16:55
thepeonztw4726, ok, now what am i looking for with the tcpdump?16:55

ztw4726unixbocx: if the linksys is a router (not a switch), you won't get any dhcp over it, because a dhcp request is a broadcast. broadcasts cannot be routed.17:21

unixbocxi was having trouble getting godaddy to redirect to my dyndns with ddclient , i would get my router loging screen so i thought i'd but my server in front and get the ip address the cable box give, which would make godaddys record easier,17:30

george1Halitech, ok but the system seems to be eating my cpu. xorg is constantly running at a minimum of 30%17:31
Ravahanunixbocx: What I would advise you try is this; If you need open access on the server, set up DMZ to the Ubuntu server on a static IP with the router in front.  That way you don't have to turn off the DHCP on the router.  If you still need the port in your server for space concerns, you can bridge the connection17:31
acdspit00anyone know of a good BUM guide for disabling unneeded services/boot up items with Ubuntu netbook version17:32
rkpisanuc0ntract0r, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/300617:32
c0ntract0rthanks very much friend17:32
unixbocxi was looking into that DMZ but would my ip address still be dhcp'd from the router17:32
unixbocxfor the server17:33
Halitechgeorge1, the system is going to use what it needs, you can either disable the cpu scaling and run full speed all the time or leave it and when it needs the speed it will bump the speed up17:33
Ravahanunixbocx: Well, it could be, but you can also just set up a static IP.  There's a way to automaticly load a static IP in Ubuntu rather that setting it up at each boot, and you'll wanna do that.  Hold on, let me see if I can find the link for ya17:33
Ravahanunixbocx: I stumbled across it recently17:34
unixbocxok thanks17:34
unixbocxi was concerned that i wouldn't be able to get the A record in godaddy to point to my server17:35
george1halitech, i think im just stuck with ubuntu running really slowly then! never mind. thanks for your help.  at the risk of being hung drawn and quartered; is there another os that is less cpu intensive?  lol17:35
unixbocxi have no problem getting dyndns to work find even if the server is behind the router and can even have more websites hosted with apache virtual host17:36
Halitechgeorge1, if you know ubuntu and like how it works you could go Debian, its no harder the Ubuntu is anymore17:36
Ravahanunixbocx: Here's a guide on how to setup a static IP in Ubuntu Server.  http://tinyurl.com/2u8ufw17:36
Ravahanunixbocx: If that doesn't get you up and running, then you've not lost anything but a few minutes as that's all easily reversable, but you could save yourself a lot of headache17:36
george1halitech, many thanks17:36

XLVnsahoo, whats wrong with /proc/cpuinfo? ksensors got an applet for cpu speed, i bet gnome applets exist too for it18:27
nsahoodarthanubis: that one just reads prod/cpuinfo18:27
mre_hmm kfan run world of padman from terminal and grep to a fille eg   padman > some file.18:27
ctmjrkfan: it is probably overheating and shutting down to protect itself18:27
darthanubisnsahoo: of course, what do you mean "measure"?18:28
th0rmartijn81: and you have a folder named iso in your home dir (and it should be owned by root:root)18:28
XLVnsahoo, but i bet all those read /proc/cpuinfo18:28
nsahoodarthanubis: run something and see how fast it runs18:28
darthanubisnsahoo: ok, that is called a benchmark18:28
darthanubisand again, search synaptic18:28
kfanwill try... i would say it was over heating but i have a big house fan blowing on it and pc is cold lol18:28
nsahooXLV: I think /proc/cpuinfo is wrong in the case of overclocked systems18:28
martijn81th0r: both is the case18:29
th0rmartijn81: and you don't need sudo in the command...you should be able to mount it using your permissions. Using sudo forces it to try to mount to /root/iso18:29
XLVnsahoo, if it reads cpu id string, surely18:29
nsahoodarthanubis: ya .. sorry .. I am looking for a benchmark tool . I think at the boot time something benchmarks the cpu and outputs the speed , no?18:29
XLVnsahoo, try lshw18:29
darthanubisno18:29
nsahooXLV: aha18:29
nsahoodarthanubis: no .. ? dmesg prints a Mhz speed18:30

Edson`What's better? A live CD or the Wubit installer?18:33
nsahoodarthanubis: so, is it reading off of something?18:33
darthanubisugh18:33
Edson`Wubi*18:33
leleobhzhow can i tell to apt do not attempt to upgrade a specific package18:34
leleobhz?18:34
HalitechEdson`, depends, if you want to save settings, wubi is better, if you just want to try it out, the cd is faster to try, true install is the best imo18:34
darthanubisleleobhz: read how to use synaptic18:35
Edson`true install?18:35
HentaiCr1zycd ./config18:35
HalitechEdson`, actually creating a partition and installing on native ext318:35
darthanubisEdson`: install to hard drive=true install18:35
Edson`ah18:35
=== HentaiCr1zy is now known as HentaiCrazyDotNe
Edson`doesn't wubi do that?18:35
fixjeleleobhz: aptitude hold <packagename>18:35
=== HentaiCrazyDotNe is now known as HentaiCrazyAdmin
Halitechdarthanubis, technically wubi would be a true install under that definition18:36
darthanubisif it did we would have not differentiated18:36
leleobhzfixje: oh, aptitude can manage this? dunno18:36
leleobhzvery nice!18:36
grkblood13is therea  program thatll let you record your screen?18:36
darthanubiswubi is a joke of an install, an not considered a full install18:36

darthanubisinstalling linux INSIDE of windows is LAME18:37
HalitechEdson`, technically it does install but it runs on a loop mounted file18:37
HentaiCrazyAdminlol18:37
darthanubisand hence your install would be LAME18:37
fixjeleleobhz: yes, but you may never use apt after that, because it doesn't know that the package is blocked18:37
darthanubisbut it is a nice option for the timid and lazy18:37

HentaiCrazyAdminis there any real benifit from using kbuntu or any of those other bunut OS over Ubuntu jaunty18:38

HentaiCrazyAdmin?18:38
darthanubisleleobhz: if you'd followed my advise you'd be done by now18:38
HentaiCrazyAdminre install it18:38
fixjebut i don't know if it is18:38
Edson`But the wubi install is Ubuntu right? not some imitation or a 'demo?'18:38
leleobhzfixje: worked like a glove, but damn gnome update manager is borring me18:38
XLVdarthanubis, excluding the fact it should be quite slower, it has full access to all hw.. its not THAT lame18:38
darthanubisHentaiCrazyAdmin: absolutely NOT18:38
leleobhzdarthanubis: ?18:38
HalitechHentaiCrazyAdmin, the DE is just a frontend so its just a personal preference18:39
HentaiCrazyAdminlame18:39
HentaiCrazyAdminohh18:39
HentaiCrazyAdminthanks18:39
HentaiCrazyAdmini'm very use to ubuntu now maybe I'll put it on my net book18:39
HalitechEdson`, yes, it is a full install, just doesn't have the full speed advantage of running on ext318:39
darthanubisfull install without the full speed, lol18:40
darthanubisyeah, that full18:40
* darthanubis rolls eyes18:40
leleobhzo.018:40
* leleobhz see puritans here18:40
darthanubisfull of crap18:40
Edson`Ah so it's just a bit slower18:40
leleobhzthink: linux clains to be a versatile system18:41
darthanubisof course18:41
leleobhzso why cannot i use this?18:41
darthanubisit aint NATIVE install18:41
Halitechdarthanubis, its not a demo or limited in anyway (so I've read anyway) so it technically would be a full install18:41
darthanubisok "full install" but not native18:41

pacific-bluefrom my user account "crontab -e" puts me into a new file with vi that I can not save. How do I get around this and who's the idiot who has not fixed this?18:42
Halitechdarthanubis, I agree, native installs are better but if someone didn't think it was a good idea for newbies, they wouldn't have done it18:42
darthanubisHalitech: the idea was to get windows users18:43
th0rpacific-blue: I always  just create a txt file in ~ and then read it into cron with crontab18:43
darthanubiswho could not follow directions enough to reboot and run the live cd. Or too lame to read the directions for a dualboot18:43
Halitechdarthanubis, I know the idea behind it, just don't think its a good idea in my mind but with the messes I've seen it create lately, I think they should drop it18:44

Halitechctmjr, not to argue but being a new linux user has nothing to do with it, I learned to use google back in my windows days, people are just lazy and want someone to hold their hands18:47
darthanubisIt is too bad ubuntu's policy is not rtfm. That is the best advise to give ANYONE in ANY field of endeavor18:47
_marcelhello18:48
th0rcourse it could be that for many here english is a second language and they can't make heads or tails out of google's answers18:48
EDinNYunfortunately much docs are written to be read by people who already know the answer18:48

JPSmanEDinNY, is that the only way to edit the MBR?19:00
Halitechcandrodor, it repairs the windows boot loader19:00
EDinNYfixes Master Boot Record (MBR)19:00
RavahanJPSman: fixmbr will do the trick.  You can specify additional information with it, but its not really necessary.  That command will overwrite the boot sector of the hard drive19:00
candrodorSo if there isn't a windows boot loader in there in the first place, it won't work?19:00
EDinNYjpsman, you can dd an MBR to the beginning of your hard drive19:01
izzyExcuse me. How would one make a launcher on the desktop which would point to internal drives?19:01
RavahanJPSman: Which is done to clear out boot sector viruses, and will also overwrite grub (which is the boot loader for ubuntu)19:01
EDinNYjpsman, when you installed grub it made a backup of your MBR.  If you still had Linux installed you could uninstall grub which would writ it back19:01
th0rizzy: open nautilus (the file manager) and drag the drive icons to the desktop?19:01
dattadid anyone face problem with the fact that i have the gnome panels crashing a lot of times when i first boot up the desktop?19:02

ubottuRavahan: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)19:20
hellogenhi all19:21
ActionParsnipRavahan: so when you see sudo gedit, it is wrong, use gksudo gedit. kde has kdesudo19:21
gangilthanks th0r19:21
RavahanActionParsnip: Good to know.  See, this is why #ubuntu is great for this kind of thing.  I actually ran sudo gedit yesterday trying to fix something19:23

ufdhalitech, hi, i looked at the vls site but the download scare the **** of me19:25

sebsebsebufd: your trying to play commercial DVD's?19:26
coz_datta,   ok alsamixer crashes the panel?19:26
Halitechufd, just install using synaptic or sudo apt-get install vlc in the terminal19:26
ufdsebsebseb, yeah19:26
dattacoz_ yes also the time and the system monitor that i put up crashes19:26
linduxedbump19:26
RavahanActionParsnip: Well that looks like a giant pain in the butt.19:26
coz_datta,  mm  hold on19:27
dattaall right coz_19:27
RavahanActionParsnip: I gave up on running Azureus myself.  I learn something valuable every time I come into #ubuntu, even if I don't say a word.19:27
viki27Hello , i installed ubuntu 9.04 on my computer and i have some problem with the sound , when i try to play some music files (mp3 etc..) or watch movie , or surf youtube i cant hear anyting beside wired noise like electricity , before the installation i try the ubuntu using the live-cd and its work fine including the sound) maybe something went wrong with the updates after the installation ?)19:27
ActionParsnipRavahan: lots, learning is good :D19:28
sebsebsebufd: for legal reasons they can't provide  commercial  DVD support by default, and other  format support such as MP3 and AVI,  there's a program called libdvdcss2  that you can get from the medibuntu repo,  but it may not be fully legal in USA or whatever19:28

ufdhalitechm i havent downloaded it yet cos i though there might be a working player in the system, i will try to download the app19:28
ActionParsnipviki27: try:    amixer -q set PCM 100% unmute19:28
linduxedviki27: could this be it? http://beyondteck.blogspot.com/2009/04/ubuntu-audio-does-not-work-static-sound.html19:28
coz_datta,  ok  you might want to try to reset gnome to defaults19:28
coz_datta,  do you know how to do that?19:29
Halitechufd, vlc is the only one I find that works, just install it the way I said earlier19:29
kfanmsg mre_ u there buddy sorry about that19:29
Halitechkfan, mre is not online19:29
kfan:(19:29
RavahanActionParsnip: I was so tickled to find this resource referenced when I was googling something.  I only know one person who runs Linux and they use Fedora, so I was getting very frustrated trying to figure this stuff out.  #ubuntu really is an awesome resource for new users.19:29
ufdhalitech, the command line is ok, but the download page is a bit daunting19:29
coz_datta,   in terminal     rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity    then log off and back on or restart X  proplerly  with    ctrl+alt+F1   log in   then   sudo /etc/init.d/gdm  restart19:29
dattacoz_: how do i do that19:30
Halitechufd, you don't need to download anything from the website19:30
RavahanHalitech: Update; Its still doing its thing.  Just keeping you posted.19:30
sebsebsebufd: I thought you wanted to play commercial DVD's,  but  it seems your talking about something else,   well  I just joined here19:30
ufdhalitech, it said it couldnt find package19:30
ActionParsnipRavahan: i find it equal to the other linuxes. Just seems that more folks are jumping on it. It does have shortcomings as well as strengths just like all linuxes19:30
viki27ActionParsnip: working like magic :) thanks19:30
coz_datta,  in terminal     rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity    then log off and back on or restart X  proplerly  with    ctrl+alt+F1   log in   then   sudo /etc/init.d/gdm  restart19:30
HalitechRavahan, dang, thats strange19:30
XacarithI'm running 9.04 with an nvidia 8500 video card, driver 80.44 two monitors at two different resolutions using seperate x screens.  Part of my one screen is black and unsaleable with only the mouse able to pass through it.  The end result looks something like this http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e85/KessieRingtail/xscreen10.png19:30
ActionParsnipviki27: ;) i habve the same19:30
dattacoz_ alright i am doing for it then hope it goes all okay19:30
Halitechufd, do you have all the repos enabled?19:30
ActionParsnipviki27: it will go back after you reboot19:30
umanwtf, there is an "ubuntu restaurant"19:31
sebsebseb!language | uman19:31
ubottuuman: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.19:31
ActionParsnipviki27: i have the command in a script that runs at startup19:31
RavahanHalitech: Hmmm not sure I like strange :( lol19:31
dattacoz_: is it supposed to say something in the terminal19:31
umanlol, that's considered bad language19:31
umansorry, then19:31
ActionParsnipuman: theres a cola too. Its an african word meaning "together"19:31
ufdhalitech, i dont know, but the the line says E: Couldn't find package in19:31
dattabecause mine is totally blank19:31
viki27ActionParsnip: can you guide me how to create this kind of script ?19:31
HalitechRavahan, normally it should only take maybe 2 minutes on a slow connection19:31
coz_datta,  no  not really  use sudo  before the rm -rf19:31
RavahanActionParsnip: I'm having a good time with it.  My first Linux OS.19:31
sebsebsebuman: the three letter thing is,   also kind of interesting what you put, but off topic19:31
ActionParsnipviki27: create a text file, paste that line in it19:31
dattaohh19:32
ufdhalitech, how do u repos enabled ?19:32
Halitechufd, okay, use pastebin and give us the results of cat /etc/apt/sources.list19:32
ActionParsnipviki27: and have the top line as:   #!/bin/sh19:32
RavahanHalitech: Well, each line is either a convert or a error.  I gather its supposed to be downloading stuff rather than changing stuff?19:32
coz_datta,   sorry about that the command is     sudo rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity19:32
ActionParsnipRavahan: i find it a bit bloated trying to accommodate all users. I have a script to pretty much gut it so that I find it usable19:32
Halitechufd, Ravahan yeah, should be just checking the file lists to see if there is any newer versions of the propgrams you have installed19:33
ActionParsnipviki27: save the text file to ~19:33
dattacoz_: well nothing seemed to have happned in the terminal it stays the same19:33
dattahope that is the way it is supposed to go19:33
ActionParsnipviki27: you will need to chmod +x the file o make it executable19:33
ufdhalitech, #deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 9.04 _Jaunty Jackalope_ - Release i386 (20090420.1)]/ jaunty main restricted19:33
coz_datta,  mm ok  restart x  or log off and back on to test it19:33
RavahanHalitech: here's a short example "Convert: libfreebob 1.0.11-1"19:33
dattaalrite i am going to log off and log back in so gonna be offline19:34
kfanhali if i give u the pastebin of what mre wanted me to send him could u look at it for me? he was trying to find out why my computer shuts down when playing world of pad man19:34
Xacarith*sigh* guess I'll try another time  Wish luck to every one else.19:34
HalitechRavahan, I wonder if you somehow had some of your files converted to 32bit19:34
RavahanHalitech: I'm not sure what exactly is being converted into what.  If it goes way sour, I got this on a seperate partition from my /home so I won't be totally devistated19:34
vasslerIs there any way to disable all tooltips????19:34
giacomohi, I have a 24" DELL monitor and ubuntu does not recognize its correct resolution19:34
ActionParsnipviki27: if you remove the file extension, you can copy it to /usr/bin and it will be universally available19:34
RavahanHalitech: You know, you might be onto something there...19:34
Halitechufd, thats it? 1 line?19:34
ActionParsnipgiacomo: you need video drivers. lspci | grep -i vga19:34
ufdgiacomo, get an NEC19:34
vasslerIs there any way to disable all tooltips in ubuntu????19:34
RavahanHalitech: As I said, I have my /home on a different partition....19:35
ufdwell there's quite a few shall i put them up ?19:35
HalitechRavahan, much as I hate to suggest it, might be time to think of nuke and pave19:35
Halitechufd, yes, use pastebin though19:35
giacomothanks, this is the output giacomo@giacomo-laptop:~$  lspci | grep -i vga19:35
giacomo00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)19:35
ufdhalitech, whats pastebin, sorry i'm new to this19:35
RavahanHalitech: And I originally installed 32 bit Ubuntu by mistake (followed a link to 64 bit from an outside site and it had 32 bit checked at the bottom of the download page) and just recently swapped over.19:36
legend2440Xacarith: try channel  #nvidia19:36
Halitech!pastebin | ufd19:36
ubottuufd: 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 topic19:36
RavahanHalitech: Could that explain why I couldn't get anything 32 bit to frigging load?19:36
HalitechRavahan, 32bit will run on a 64 bit machine19:36
Xacarithk19:36
RavahanHalitech: That was my impression =\19:36
RavahanHalitech: lol19:36
giacomothe strange thing is that the live image DID set the right resolution19:37
dattaall right, back to the default and back19:37
RavahanHalitech: Well, maybe all this converting business will fix something eh?  Here's hoping.19:37
HalitechRavahan, if you have 64bit and want to run 32bit apps then you need the 32bit libs to get it to work19:37
ActionParsnipgiacomo: please tab complete my name at the start of each line if you are addressing me19:37
dattahope now it fixes everything, btw does anyone know how to stop the beeping?19:37
vasslerIs there any way to disable all tooltips in ubuntu????19:37
dattai hate that beep that's why19:37
HalitechRavahan, can hope, if not, might be time to reinstall19:37
coz_datta,  did that work?19:37
ufdhalitech, did u get it ?19:37
Halitechufd, get what?19:38
dattacoz_: well have to see because the crash happens time to time but think it will not happen now again but if it does u all are here :)19:38
ActionParsnipgiacomo: http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/05/reverting-xorg-video-intel-driver-of.html19:38

pirokoAny idea why firefox shows the java plugin in about:plugins, but java applets don't work?19:40
coz_datta,  which  for pidgin  xchat or waht?19:40
RavahanHalitech: Yeah, this whole adventure started trying to get a couple of 32 bit emulators to run on jaunty 64 bit.  I discovered Getlibs from google and a few ubuntu forum posts and had been messing with that... but it could never find the libs it needed for some reason.  So then, I thought I must not have some repos right or something.  I checked, and all of them were marked except sourcecode, so then I thought maybe I need to add one an19:40
ufdhalitech, http://paste.ubuntu.com/233362/19:40
dattait's for chatzilla plugin in firefox19:40
coz_datta,  did you check the settings for that in firefox  chatzilla?19:40

gangilWhen should I start worrying above*? C* I have Dell inspiron 142019:44

Hilikuscan someone tell me what they get from "which firefox"19:45

Ravahanunixbocx: I'm not really familiar with using godaddy, but let me consult the Allmighty Google on your behalf while I wait on this stupid thingie I'm running here19:46
pirokokitche: Hmm... Apparently sun-java5-plugin works fine.19:46
Hilikusgangil: could you check if that is just a symlink please19:46
gangilHilikus: I dont know that much :D19:47
ufdhalitech, it eventually takes you here ? https://launchpad.net/~c-korn/+archive/vlc19:47
Halitechunixbocx, you are going to need to point it to your external IP and then have the router forward it to the internal IP of the machine running apache19:47
Hilikusgangil: do ls -l /usr/bin/firefox and tell me what you get19:47
prince_jammysHilikus: /usr/bin/firefox: symbolic link to `firefox-3.0'19:47

ubottuThe linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal19:48
ufdhalitech, there seems to be 10 downloads (looks like portions on ftp site) ????19:48
Halitechufd, don't go to the site to download anything, edit your sources.list file to add the correct repo then run sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get install vlc19:49
prince_jammysHilikus: i have hardy, if that makes any difference.19:49
Hilikusprince_jammys: it should be the same i think19:49
unixbocxi have a linksys WRT54GX with SRX, looking throught it i'm finding it hard to find something about forwarding19:49
unixbocxmy server is in the DMZ though19:49
Halitechunixbocx, not the ideal way but you could use the dmz setting, just leaves you open to possible attacks19:50
gangilHilikus: Is symlink , the link to the file which that particulaar command points to in the terminal?19:50
Hilikusgangil: no, symlinks are special files that point to other files or directories19:51

mankeletorhello there, anybody knows how to change the init mode of ubuntu? i need to change to 'init 3'20:01
ufdhalitech, nope ?!?20:01
ufdhalitech :(20:01
Halitechufd, has it finished installing yet?20:01
coz_mankeletor,   sudo init 3   ?20:01
icerootmankeletor: if i am correct ubuntu isnt using init-modes like suse does20:01
ufdhalitech, yes20:01
icerootmankeletor: type "init 3"20:01
durtmankeletor, there are only two 'init' modes in ubuntu single and multi user20:02
Halitechufd, did it give any errors?20:02
kc8pxywhat could cause my apache server, managed by webmin, and virtualmin, to quit being accessible from the same switch, with onyl the addition of shorewall between the internet and the webserver?  accesing the webserver from the interwebs is fine,  it's just from the lan that's not working anymore.20:02
durtmankeletor, if you need cli multiuser, kill xorg.20:02
kc8pxythis is an ubuntu 8.04 32-bit server.20:02
ufdhalitech, i closed that text file which you asked me to add 2 lines to and now xterm is inflating something ??20:02

ufdhalitech, thanks to you , yes, your a UNIX Guru20:07
prince_jammys:)20:07
Halitechufd, glad its installed and I'm far from a guru :)20:07
ActionParsniplinduxed: is it a seperate partition mounted by fstab?20:07
ufdhalitech.....20:07
m0r0nActionParsnip: Let me try it as root.. It's saying root can only unmount it and also I installed something to auto mount it which made it read-only, I forgot what it is though20:07
linduxedActionParsnip: yepp20:07
prince_jammysm0r0n: sudo fuser -v /mountpoint20:08
ufdHalitech, its there but doesnt fire up, I mean it starts but closes after 1 second ??20:08
ActionParsniplinduxed: then unmount the partition, create the subfolder in /home then edit fstab to reflect the change20:08
prince_jammysor -vki to interactively kill the apps20:08
ActionParsnipm0r0n: well yeah, you use sudo20:08
ActionParsnipm0r0n: you don't need root EVER20:08
linduxedActionParsnip: i dont think you understood my question20:08
linduxedActionParsnip: i dont want to move the partition in itself20:09
icerootActionParsnip: there is on action you need a real root (with eraly ubuntu-version)20:09
linduxedActionParsnip: i just want all the userdirs to be located under /home/users instead of /home20:09
ActionParsniplinduxed: can you please clarify, sounds like you want to move where you are mounting a partition from /home ro /home/user20:09
linduxedActionParsnip: the partition stays20:09
icerootActionParsnip: if you boot and fsck will repair the drive, it ask for the root-password20:09
m0r0nActionParsnip: Well I unmounted it now I want to mount it back in hope to make it read and write, how would I do that20:09
Halitechufd, ok, try running it from the terminal and see if its giving an error or some sort20:09
ActionParsnipm0r0n: sudo mount /dev/<partition name> /mount/point -o uid=100020:10
ufdhalitech, http://paste.ubuntu.com/233384/20:10
Halitechufd, got to love an error message that just says seg fault20:11
prince_jammyslinduxed: that'll either require changing the entries at /etc/passwd, or maybe the usermod command for existing users, and /etc/adduser.conf for future users20:11
linduxedprince_jammys: adduser.conf already fixed20:11
m0r0nActionParsnip: How do I find the mount point?20:11
prince_jammyslinduxed: (and maybe something else i'm not thinking of, for your new /home to work)20:11
ufdhalitech, aha20:11
linduxedprince_jammys: will check /etc/passwd20:11
Halitechufd, we can try to remove it, reboot and then reinstall and see if that makes a difference20:12
prince_jammyslinduxed: use vipw if you edit that file directly20:12
sajihi..20:12
ActionParsnipm0r0n: munt   will tell you20:13
ufdhalitech, remove the vlc app20:13
ActionParsnipiceroot: the bootup process is all as root so shuld not ask for a passowrd20:13
Halitechufd, yeah, sudo apt-get remove --purge vlc20:13
ufdhalitech, shall i just reboot as u do in micro$oft20:13
sajiMy vi editor is working awkwardly.20:14

solexiouslegend2440, doesnt seem to help20:24
RavahanHalitech: Okay, getting toward the end of the cycle here.  Lets see what happens.  Is there a way to safely terminate this if it starts over?20:24
prince_jammyslinduxed: leave /etc/shadow alone. just change the new homedirs in /etc/passwd20:24
deanylegend2440, I suggest 204820:24
linduxedActionParsnip: i liked prince_jammys answer :-D20:24
linduxedprince_jammys: thx, made me think of http://www.i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=2178120:25
sajiMy vi editor is not responding to the keyboard keys.20:25
prince_jammyslinduxed: this could also probably have been achieved with the usermod command. if you were careful, getting the homedir wrong in passwd is not the end of the world.20:25
CrippleHow do I connect to foonetic.net?20:25
solexiouslegend2440, If i open the dvd in Movie Player I get, "Could not open Location, you might not have permission to open the file"20:25

MadGhostCan I ask?20:42
Muad*noob alert*   So I had XP and decided to install Ubuntu. I installed it on a separate drive and recieved a GRUB error when booting. so I installed again. same issue different error number.   Finally I disconnected my windows drive and installed on a totally blank drive. now the install worked but I cant get to my windows installation at all.   When I try to boot to that HDD I get the GRUB error.20:42

prince_jammysthat's the downside20:43
Keifferkoltroll, thanks. Is there any way to spoof that? Instead of Ubuntu to show Windows?20:43
JPSmanMuad- you need to re-write to your master boot record (MBR)20:44
koltrollKeiffer, no idea. probably20:44
prince_jammysMadGhost: some upsides: free software, good community, security ...20:44
JPSmanMuad- Do you have your windows CD?  if so you can run the recovery console from the CD and tell it to fix your MBR on that hard drive20:44
prince_jammysMadGhost: there is no "need" to use it, however, if you're happy with what you have.20:44
MadGhostgood community is very good, I'm agree20:44
MadGhostbut security in new Windows 7 is very good too20:45
prince_jammysit's not like Windows is the only other OS, either.20:45

jerkmanhey, im using vuze (azuerus) and my modem keeps crashing so that the torrents keep going, but all pc's connected loose web access. I have just limited the number of connections, is that likely the problem?21:17

syntaxis vuze the best for torrent files?21:18
jerkmani like it it syntax21:18
manjaprince_jammys, it says 8.04 but when I do sudo update-manager --dist-upgrade it says I have the latest version, this isn't right21:18

Frank83the Is it really? Trans works for me. How is it buggy?21:20
saji<kajakmanden>, could you install it?21:20
jerkmanTrijntje: same, until my router blew21:20
jerkmannow my modem keeps dropping out21:20
kajakmandensaji: no it is saying " sec.."21:20
Trijntjejerkman: did you try limiting the max amount of connections transmission can have?21:21
manjahow do I upgrade from 8.04 to 9.04 ?21:21
kajakmandensaji: saying cant open file do to sign coding21:21
caMelCaseI setup the second display with nvidia-settings (without root). The configuration was not overwritten because the second display should be used very temporarly.21:21
barqersCan someone tell me the command to switch to desktop 3? or to desktop 4? so I can create a shortcut.21:21

sajikajakmanden, did u try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto as said by ubottu.21:23
caMelCaseI had to open the console and sudo nvidia-settings to store the right resolution in xorg.conf21:23
Trijntjejerkman:150 is very low, that shouldnt cause any problems. Maby someone else in your house is using a lot of connections? Most (NAT) routers seem to be limited to 1024 connections21:24

erUSULcasey: in linux is /etc/init.d/ for suystem wide scripts... or simply add a call to your script from /etc/rc.local21:28
mcquaidthe power went on/off for an instant, so maybe it was too quick to report the popup msg of back to ac power21:28
jonc101could be21:28
caseydo i add the script to a file?21:28

shaqfuHey, I have a quick question about Ubuntu installs and hardware21:59
apoleo12yeah Ill figure out how heh21:59
shaqfuI have a 1TB hard drive that I'd like to install Ubuntu minimal on, and it's going into a computer that I'm building later22:00
jribshaqfu: best to just ask your question on a single line22:00
shaqfujrib: Going for it :)22:00
shaqfuIf I install Ubuntu minimal onto a hard drive, then take the drive out and put it into another computer, will there be any issues/conflicts?22:01
caseyidk i just want this program to start when i log in or start the computer22:01
threethirtydoes anyone know of a good tutorial for setting up an email server with sqlite?22:01
jribshaqfu: not in theory.  You may need to reconfigure video drivers if you install proprietary ones22:01
cooper77zhi, I got rid of my program bar in gnome, but no I need to make it come back because whenever I minimize programs now the programs just permanently dissappear from the desktop.22:01
phenomAny one else get an annoying system beep when they shut down ubuntu?22:01
jribcooper77z: right click -> add to panel -> window list22:02
caseydo i put in this or something before it  sudo update-rc.d script_name defaults22:02
shaqfujrib: Both systems use nVidia graphical chipsets, and I'm planning on using restricted drivers once it's in the right computer22:02
jribcasey: what are you trying to accomplish22:02
jribshaqfu: should be fine22:02
th0rcasey: those are two different things and you are going to have to pick one. To run it when you log in just click System-Preferences-Startup Applications and add it there22:02
shaqfujrib: Thanks :)22:02
phenomAny patches released for this, other than bandaids such as rmmod pcspkr and the like?22:02

edbianNeostatic: It is an Operating System23:03
lstarnesNeostatic: kubuntu is ubuntu with kde installed by default instead of gnome23:03
NeostaticOkey23:03
jondaviswell23:03
vaiousermaybe somthing with kexeec?23:03
edbianjondavis: Go into synaptic and search "flash"  How many different flash player do you have installed?23:03
lstarnesvaiouser: just reboot23:03
jondavisjust one23:03
vaiouseri will lose my data23:03
lstarnesvaiouser: what data?23:04
NeostaticIs kubuntu 64bit amd the right thing for my intel?23:04
elli222how do i force a DX9 window in wine to go fullscreen? The game *does* have a working Fullscreen mode, but i think its prone to crashing23:04
lstarnesNeostatic: kubuntu is the same as ubuntu essentially23:04
hooglandFlash plays back audio, video is black - only library installed in firefox is libflashplugin.so which I put in  ~/mozilla/plugins/23:04
vaiousermany articles over 500 tabs in firefox23:04
credobyteNeostatic: how much RAM do you have ( also, video card ? ) ?23:04

lstarnesvaiouser: if you used alt_sysrq+i then you've already lost that data23:04
Neostaticmy ram is 4gb total, the ram on my video card is 512mb23:04
jondavisi was tould one flash player will work for all thaing's that has websites23:05
vaiouseri did not use that combination23:05
jondavisand websits/tv shows23:05
lstarnesNeostatic: both kubuntu and ubuntu have 32-bit and 64-bit versions23:05
vaiouserthe data is still present in RAM23:05
vaiouserare*23:05
credobyteNeostatic: yeah, you should be fine ( more over, 64bit version will allow you to upgrade your RAM without reinstalling ).23:05
lstarnesvaiouser: "is" would also be appropriate when referring to computer data23:05
Rapt0rJezuzHello, World/23:05
edbianjondavis: Yeah.  That is correct.  Here is the issue:  The open source flash player will only work on some flash sites (don't ask me why).  The closed source one works everywhere (adobe flash 10).  But if you have more than 1 installed they block each other out and it is difficult to tell what flash player you're actually using.23:06
lstarnesvaiouser: you did use alt+sysrq+i, right?23:06
cliffbreakerhi everyone. really need help. it's urgent. have winxp dualbooted and it won't load leaving me with grub entry for winxp on blank black screen. Can anyone help me please? It's very urgent!!!!23:06

vaiouserbut nothing that is related to the filesystems and other combinations that might lead to loss of data23:07
mido1cliff: We'll need some more details.23:07
Neostatici have not used kubuntu i am new to this, i have always used windows before23:07

Neostaticprince_jammys: ok23:08
prince_jammysand some different apps come installed23:08
lstarnesvaiouser: I'm somewhat confused.  What exactly are you asking about?23:08

rreyes_Hi all... I am having problems with a Logitech USB speakers model S-00041. When used, they produce a "click-like" sound several times a second. Any idea what could be wrong?23:08
lstarnesRapt0rJezuz: they're different desktop environments23:08
mido1cliff: let me guess, windows was the only system on the disk, occupying it totally, then you installed ubuntu and let it resize the partition. correct?23:08
prince_jammysRapt0rJezuz: different default applications, different look and feel.23:08
VCoolio_Neostatic: if you install kubuntu the installer will make some partitions for it and then on boot you'll have a menu (grub) to choose vista or kubuntu23:08
NeostaticWho is willing to guide me through installation of kubuntu 9.0423:08
credobyteRapt0rJezuz: Wiki or Google images ;)23:09

aftertafanyone xexpain how i made it that X server is now on ALT-F1 and not F7 ??23:13
lstarnesvaiouser: did you just use init 1?23:13
mido1cliff: If it is an option to loose grub for a moment and reinstall it later when windows is back again, I would suggest booting the windows xp install cd, use the rescue mode and restore the bootsector/mbr with "fixboot" and "fixmbr".23:14
vaiouseryes23:14
the8thbitHello23:14
mido1cliff: Seems to me the fastest solution to boot windows.23:14
rreyes_Hi all... I am having problems with a Logitech USB speakers model S-00041. When used, they produce a "click-like" sound several times a second. Any idea what could be wrong?23:14
cliffbreakermido1: what other options can I use?23:14
vaiouserinit 1 and it stopped in a state where it shows the kernel messages23:15
the8thbitIs the issue with Intel GPUs in Ubuntu 9.04 fixed yet, or should I wait for Ubuntu 9.10?23:15
looisis there a faster lightweight login manager that is able to autologin into gnome?23:15
lstarnesvaiouser: I think changing runlevels to runlevel 1 via init 1 would kill any processes started in the previous runlevel23:15
mido1cliff: next option is just to fix the bootsector of xp, by again booting from the xp install cd and then use only "fixboot" but not "fixmbr".23:15
smanprince_jammys: any ideas?23:15
smanprince_jammys: it works in tty, so I'm guessing it's something to do with xorg23:16
ArchEnigmaDoes anyone here have any experience with Sawfish WM? I can't figure out how to set my theme.23:16
vaiouseryes but the data is still present23:16
mido1cliff: After that, if grub still can't boot windows, you'd have to see after the grub config and correct it.23:16
the8thbitIs the issue with Intel GPUs in Ubuntu 9.04 fixed yet, or should I wait for Ubuntu 9.10?23:16
cliffbreakermido1: and can I do smth about it from linux? i have correct entry in menu.lst23:16
ArchEnigmathe8thbit: It's fixed, You just have to update the drivers after you install.23:17
AlexPalmerI was wondering the same thing as the8thbit.  when I updated from the 9.04 beta to 9.04 release i lost compiz23:17
looisintel performance has boosted for me usng Karmic23:17
prince_jammyssman: perhaps it has to do with locale variables23:17

xtremegamerits for a new Nokia 6**** something and a samsung SGH-M61023:21
TruenoUbuntu is the best!23:21
VCoolio_the8thbit: these questions easily end up in useless debates between fans of one or the other; that's why they are considered offtopic; also what is best depends on what you need23:21
mido1cliffbreaker: Ah, that's very important :-)23:21
aftertafthe8thbit: too open ended.... 2nd question is one of prefernce, 1st is one of difference, not betterness23:21
mido1cliff: Okay, where is your windows partition located? Is it the first partition on your first harddisk, aka /dev/sda1?23:21
EDinNYThe best distro is one you can get help with.  preferably locally23:21
mido1xtremegamer: Then forget about Gnokii.23:22
cliffbreakermido1: yes, you're right23:22
the8thbitVCoolio, aftertaf: Alright. I'm just split between Mint and Ubuntu, and Gnome and KDE.23:22
mido1xtremegamer: Is the samsung a Windows-CE smartphone or something?23:22
aftertafthe8thbit: then dualboot and have both installed ;)23:22
mido1cliffbreaker: Hmmm, then the entry seems to be okay.23:22
the8thbitI guess a better question is, why do you all use Ubuntu instead of a different distro? (assuming you use Ubuntu primarily)23:23
th0raftertaf: or install virtualbox and run both in windows on the same desktop23:23
cliffbreakermido1: sure it's ok23:23
mido1cliff: Looks like there is no (working) bootloader in the bootsektor.23:23
cliffbreakermido1: ok, what can I do about it without demolishing grub?23:23
th0raftertaf: that was supposed to be xfce windows...not 'the dark side' windows23:23
aftertafthe8thbit: ease of use, community support23:23
mido1cliffbreaker: I would suggest booting the install cd, using rescue mode, and then write a new bootsector via "fixboot" as next step23:24
aftertafth0r: i prefer ;)23:24
TruenoAnyone can help me? I want to update my Ubuntu but in offline mode. Can I download the files in a windows pc and then update ubuntu?23:24

mido1Trueno: AFAIK not that really easy. Could you e.g. boot Ubuntu from CD/DVD on that computer with internet connection?23:25
=== VCoolio_ is now known as VCoolio
mido1cliffbreaker: Just boot from your windows install cd.23:26
mido1cliffbreaker: on the big blue screen, you're asked if you would like to install, or enter rescue mode.23:26
aftertafTrueno: or copy them all into /var/cache/apt/archives/ then apt-get install them23:26
mido1cliff: Then enter "r" for rescue, and you get a commandline.23:26
mido1cliff: You'll be prompted to select your windows xp installation (there should be only one) and to enter your admin password.23:27
mido1cliff: after that, you're on the commandline and can call "fixboot". I'm not sure if you need a parameter, but if so, try "fixboot c:", if C: is your windows drive.23:27
l3dxmzz: perhaps23:27

lstarnesLeoneof: it should already be installed23:30
mido1Trueno: there is an option for apt so it will just get all updates, but not install them. You'll find the packages in /var/cache/apt/archives. Copy them to an USB stick or so, put it into the other PC and let run apt-get there.23:31
gobucks09xtremegamer:  sorry for jumping in.  You need to get an adapter that does audio to POTS.  There's a device called b2k that is a USB sound card and handles the phone interface too.23:31

mido1casey: You need symlinks in the runlevel directories as well.23:37
xtremegamerbyethost also good :)23:38
VCoolioTaft: that's the same as 'installing' would do, then check for your theme with the 'customize' button23:38
caseyso how i do that23:38
DanYoSonalso has php, mysql etc.23:38
mido1casey: First you have to decide in which runlevels you init script should be started.23:38

rootlinuxusrNot mounted anywhere.23:42
caseythe install gield for the program23:42
TaftVCoolio so I should just have this one in my Desktop?23:43
th0rmido1: he is trying to run a script, but I can't get him to even commit on whether he wants it to start at bootup or at login. If he wants to put it in /etc/init.d he has to use update-rc.d, which means he has to use the initscript skeleton23:43
mido1rootlinuxusr: Last chance I see: logoff from the graphical desktop, then switch to a text console, log in, and then retry eject.23:43
VCoolioTaft: yeah, and then use gnomenu to point to it23:43
Taftok23:43
mido1th0r: Thanks.23:43
caseyi guess bootup23:43
VCoolioTaft: also after installing / extracting you can delete the tar.gz23:44
th0rmido1: I sent him a url that explained the runlevels and init scripts, but I doubt he read it.23:44

IndyStefan1I need a little guidance on networking - just want to peer-to-peer 2 Ubuntu pcs via my dLink router.  Tried Samba - doesn't look like the answer.  I also internet via that router23:57
bazhangjondavis, I did not see it; flash installed from where and which version23:57
Lostinjondavis in the tut I spoke of, you can do the whole thing in about 15 minutes.  I used it, and I can do anything online..you-tube whatever23:57

IndyStefan1nfs - I'll give it a look - Thanks23:58
LostinI need to know how to find my default iso-8859 .  I looked in dmesg thinking it might be set at boot, but no luck there.23:58
Cyber_Akuma-UbunI have the third party repos enabled, im trying to install partimage, but it says not found23:58
ctmjrAndy80: have you enabled anything in your xorg.conf file?23:58
VCoolioIlija: th0r: use /usr/bin/gdebi-gtk or you'll see nothing showing up...23:58
muibeso there's no answer to my question? or then my question was so astoundingly stupid that no one really stoops to say a word about it...23:59
th0rmido1: right...I am familiar with it. But it won't work at bootup unless he sets an extremely rapid update frequency23:59
Andy80ctmjr: not by hand... why? Do I have to enable something?23:59
bazhangjondavis, someone has provided you with a tutorial, why not take a look, or at the very least give some complete answers to the question you ask23:59
mido1th0r: Yes, the init script is just the wrong place.23:59
jondavisi got flash install but it is not working23:59
