[00:51] Pici: oh okay lol [00:51] Pici: sorry === Zaid is now known as Zaid_ [00:52] DasEi because it was given to me if i could fix it cuz wincrap wouldnt load...so i tried xp, vista and 7 and none could write in the HDD, then i isntelled linux and it worked so i thought i could give him dual boot. when i was running gparted light went out and the laptop turned off eventually without completing and since then my problems sttarted [00:53] elbuo: I see, do you have a live cd handy and the drive around ? === bruno is now known as Guest45329 [00:53] hey [00:53] bixas [00:54] !loglevel [00:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about loglevel [00:54] !brain | tolmun [00:54] tolmun: Hi!

[00:55] archive^nom: yeah, but that wasn't your question. [00:55] true [00:55] quickly =! safely :P [00:55] elbuo : attach the usb-hd then and boot into live, call the messenger there and come back here [00:55] archive^nom: ctrl-alt-backspace will restart X, but the state of the windowed apps will be lost [00:56] DasEi im currently running another install from usb...75% atm [00:56] archive^nom: umm.. ctrl-alt-backspace (if enabled, its disabled in many instances) will effectively put a shotgun to X and pull the trigger.. thats lots, but nothing like restarting X without affecting the apps ontop of it :) [00:56] Anyone know how to fix grub, that "grubhowto" just made a serious mess of my HD? [00:56] elbuo: still a port free for the other usb ? [00:56] indeed [00:56] hey all .. im trying to get a 7.95gig video to 4.8gigs .. is this possible .. if so how ? [00:56] kohlra1: try super-grub-disk (google) [00:56] is it called x ? [00:57] DasEi im installing into the laptop's HDD from 1 usb yeah and i have 2 more usb ports available to use [00:57] (the framework and stuff, the windows etc.) [00:57] archive^nom: yes [00:57] kohlra1: boot live cd ad grub-install [00:57] !X [00:57] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [00:57] ah great thx :) [00:57] elbuo: so attach the 'broken' drive... [00:57] Thanks DasEi, i hope it works and that the method in the grubhowto didn't delete everything i need... Otherwise i have some serious work to do.... [00:58] DasEi :S the one i think is broken is the HDD of the laptop not the usb-hd... [00:58] kohlra1: the grub-thingy works most times, else just messes mbr for usual [00:58] tolmun: soem weird problems that keep that from working. The problem is that grub got totally purged at this point. [00:58] how can i install java development kit in ubuntu 8.10? i followed ubuntu documentation to get jdk and i just got jse [00:58] elbuo: the one youi're on now ? [00:58] DasEi: unfortunately, the grubhowto didn't mess up the mbr... it did other things... [00:59] DasEi nop i have it just right here with me but its not this one [00:59] DasEi: i wish there was a way to throw a warning out there.... [00:59] BiggBoss: are you writing java apps? [01:00] I have used gcj pretty successfully [01:00] kohlra1: gparted from scratch =( [01:00] ye, but not in ubuntu [01:00] i need jdk in ubuntu to run an application [01:00] what's the best and easiest program to rip a dvd+r with absolutely no encryption? [01:01] cooper77z: best is a hard word;; k3b does it well [01:01] !k3b [01:01] cooper77z: i don't know about best or easiest, but k3b should do it. [01:01] k3b is a feature-rich and user-friendly burning application for KDE (and, as all KDE applications, works fine on GNOME). For a guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/K3BHowto [01:01] thanks, I'll give it a go [01:02] tolmun: the problem here is... I gparted and deleted a few partitions.... Which caused grub to kinda loose its place... So i did the "GUI method," and it just started removing my current installation of ubuntu. [01:02] cooper77z: rip - rest in peace [01:02] elbuo: so you want a fix for a not available drive ? [01:02] I meant to say RAM not rest [01:02] yeah [01:02] brb [01:03] DasEi it is available, it installs completely and confirms and everything, reboots and when i change to boot from HDD in the laptop it starts giving me ugly messages about the kernel trying to kill the unit [01:03] cooper77z: be ram back [01:04] hey guys, I am trying to test my webapp on various systems... if I have 'app.local' on my ubuntu system setup on apache, and it is 192.168.1.x, how can I make that go there from another windows system? [01:05] I'm having some trouble with, presumably, my X server. [01:05] It's been spontaneously restarting for the last several days, which logged me out each time. [01:05] At one point, it wouldn't load any windows. [01:05] At this moment, it works, but I have the options of 640x480 and 320x240 for screen res. [01:05] Any ideas? [01:05] theoraforever: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:05] lol tolmun, that was funny [01:05] NVidia geforce fx 5500 graphics card [01:05] elbuo: if you set the lap to boot first from cd, then fro hd, don't have to change bios, just remove cd (and disablecd if you want), so it should work; else without checks these request becomes too speculative, you should access the system it's going about and then connect to here again [01:06] hi guys, I'm trying to fix a broken IPod, it seems to mount ok, but I can't do much else with it. can I format, or fschk it easily? [01:06] Hey anybody. [01:07] I'm trying to a reformat an ipod. I think it' smounted at sdc, but how can I be sure? lsusb shows me: [01:07] Bus 005 Device 095: ID 05ac:1262 Apple, Inc. [01:07] puff: try 'mount' to view what's mounted. [01:07] I apologize for that. My client didn't show everyone else's talking until right before I was muted. I was actually wondering why it was so quiet around here. :) [01:08] I have got flash player working in firefox but can't with opera (which is my preferred browser) anyone know how to fix thi [01:08] Ah, coo. [01:09] !kino [01:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about kino [01:10] Hi everyone, I used update-rc.d to remove drbd. I needed to put it back after another idea failed. However, it now tried to start before the network starts. Upstart issue? Diagnostics? [01:10] Is gparted "msdos" format the same as fat32? [01:11] DasEi install suddendly stoped [01:11] -.- [01:11] DasEi ill be back later i have to go [01:11] DasEi thanks [01:11] I don't see a transform or convert command in k3b but I am trying to turn my dvd+r video into a quicktime program that cinelerra can use, what's my first step? [01:11] It only shows this ipod as having 462 MB free, but it's a fairly late model ipod, it should be larger. [01:12] cooper77z: youcan make a iso from the dvd which you can mount like a dvd [01:12] how can i install java development kit in ubuntu 8.10? i followed ubuntu documentation to get jdk and i just got jse [01:12] !iso [01:12] Hm, hyeah, fdisk -l /dev/sdc shows 4GB. [01:12] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.

[01:13] I can't pastebin right now, but here's a brief description of my problem. My X server has been acting up over the last few days. Now, I'm limited to 640x480 res. This has happen twice before, on the same hardware. Both failed the same way after about a month, and I ended up reinstalling Ubuntu. Any ideas? Nvidia geforce fx 5500. [01:14] I'll work on it for a while because I am sorta attached to my analog video camera. Bye for now. [01:14] bastidrazor: E.g. I was just going to format it, but gparted thinks it only has 463 MB of space on it. [01:15] anyone else experiences slow scrolling when using a zoomed page in firefox? [01:15] i noticed this happens in ubuntu while in windows firefox is just as fast as normal when i'm zoomed [01:16] I'd check, but my computer isn't working right now. [01:17] hi all. I'm trying to run ubuntu 9.04 on an intel iMac Intel Core Duo. Any tips on getting wireless working [01:17] koro: It's seems just as snappy as ever for me [01:17] hm, his seems to have some detialed info on how to reformat it http://www.gnu.org/software/gnupod/gnupod.html#SEC6 [01:17] What do I do if pdflush suddenly decides to max out my CPU? :( [01:17] Albeit for or putting ipodlinux on it, but. [01:18] hey folks. I'm trying to figure out why when I load Firefox... I'm only getting version 3.0.11 ... :-( [01:18] Download and install the latest from firefox.com [01:18] puff, this page may help :: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/9266 [01:18] !ff3.5 > AndrewGearhart [01:18] AndrewGearhart, please see my private message [01:19] ah, DasEi, it was the Shiretoko issue... didn't realize it changed names to have the latest version... that's weird. [01:19] alright. thanks folks. later. [01:21] is there a flag I can launch an app with so that it is always on the current workspace? [01:21] I did 'sync' in a terminal to make sure stuff was written to disk just now, and now the sync process is at 100% cpu usage and not writing anything. The process can't be killed with SIG_KILL, and it's hogging a core completely [01:23] Zorael^nb, anything odd in the logs? check the output of dmesg first... [01:23] Does anybody know how to be on the receiving end of the messages from ddclient? [01:23] Argyanc: I checked dmesg earlier, nothing in there. Any other logs? [01:23] I'd like to run ddclient so I can track a stolen laptop, but I don't want to have to use a third-party like dyndns... [01:24] yo. I got 2 usb bluetooth dongles on two laptops, work great, except, they have identical MAC addresses. Anyone know how I might change one? [01:24] crankharder: you can set the window to 'sticky' after it is created, but I don't know about a command line option, I would think it would depend on the program [01:24] Zorael^nb, there is a nice GUI for checking logs in gnome... [01:24] Argyanc: running KDE ;3 [01:24] hi, I'm also trying to fix an ipod, if it gets loaded but it can't be mounted, can I fsck it?

[01:28] gotta play with this, see if I can get it to work [01:28] Sarkie: ok, well I don't know [01:29] ha, thanks anyway [01:29] I have got a question about samba client in ubuntu nautils, can anybody help? [01:29] cor: I think there's also a way to change the MAC on startup by editing /etc/network/interfaces, although I don't know if you can still manage the connection with network manager afterwards [01:29] nah mr_steve, it doesn't work on bluetooth hardware, doesn't recognise that ointerface === Teleprompter is now known as JohnnyNewbie [01:29] *your earlier suggestion, that is [01:30] bluetooth doesn't appear in the network manager. should it? [01:30] cor: whoops, somehow I missed the "bluetooth" part of your question [01:30] it doesn't on my other laptop, either [01:30] my bad [01:30] haha [01:30] hey all [01:30] hci0!!!! [01:31] Hey all [01:31] I bought the two dongles together, very cheap, but TOO identical! [01:32] They communicate okay, but I keep having weird issues, and I'd like to eliminate identical MAC addresses, if possible [01:32] anyone using the 9.04 out there and would like to say a couple words pro and con? [01:33] darwinwj, you have ubuntu installed? [01:33] It has better support for samba and users in the interface. [01:33] who know the nginx init.d script for ubuntu 9.04 ? I can't found it . [01:34] yep, the 8.10 on two machines, love it [01:34] I darwinwj: more specific ? [01:34] fear maybe, lol [01:34] query: is cheese meant to be able to record sound? [01:34] and if so, why might it not be doing so for me? [01:34] if not, alternatives? [01:35] If 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? [01:35] try it on a 2nd partition, if you like, install on main [01:35] I really like the 8.10, only can't connect to my xp lan [01:35] can't connect to LAN, sound like instant uninstall, or else fix now. wtf [01:36] 谁有 nginx 服务器 在 ubuntu 9.04 下的控制脚本吗？ [01:36] !zh [01:36] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [01:36] I'll have to do it. Do you know if local networking is easier to connect to windows machines, got xp and vista too [01:36] not that you need a modern Linux to connext to a Windows network [01:36] Thank you [01:37] ^_^ [01:37] dude! it's a no-brainer these days [01:37] I know, I'm pretty new at linux, but so far i really like it [01:37] how can i give privilegies to a user (i mean not root)? [01:37] sudo [01:37] ;o) [01:37] finding the exact same problem with samba client on 9.04. I can create samba share but good luck reading any shares from any other computers regardless if they are windows or not. [01:38] darwinwj: the networking is same I think, jaunty boots slightly faster then ibex, and has some more changes, maily kernel-intgration related, just for the lan, could fix it instantly [01:38] hi [01:38] * cor finds it easier to mount all samba shares in fstab [01:38] use a ~/.smbpasswd file [01:38] thx cor [01:39] hey guys in second life at the public sandbox im spreading Ubuntu blocks everywhere. want to help? [01:39] i think i have an ATI AIW Radeon 9200 graphics card can someone help me so i can use the video capture on this card inside ubuntu [01:39] rythmc: gadmin-samba to the rescue! [01:39] there's plenty of religious debate too [01:39] not only transparent, but you can play movies and such as if they are on local machine (i.e. vlc and such won't copy the whole thing over to your hard local machine first) [01:39] !ot | pjwaffle [01:39] pjwaffle: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:39] ok sorry [01:39] shares????? on the xp and vista machines yes, the xp is the machine with my movies, music ext, I just want to be able access it with my ubuntu [01:40] How do I set a static IP in Ubuntu? [01:40] darwinwj, for maxiimum ease of use, use the same user/pass on both machines [01:40] hmm, i add an user to admin and it still dont allow me to chmod +x a file [01:40] BiggBoss, you mean adm ? [01:41] i used sudo adduser user admin [01:41] oh no, it's admin right enough [01:41] to give rights to an user [01:42] Hey all - my best friend setup my new Linux home server and I'm playing around (CAREFULLY - lol) with it now, one thing I know I want to do is setup screen share so I can remote in from other computers - any words of wisdom? [01:42] but i cant use chmod +x over a file still [01:42] So, easier to share to windows from linux, than from windows to linux.... if that makes sense [01:42] !samba | darwinwj [01:42] darwinwj: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[01:44] BiggBoss: Linux in general [01:44] thanks all, I think i'll upgrade, then work on knowing samba etc [01:44] yeah, kukstud07, gotta make sure those britney videos are safe from crackers! [01:44] well, i use all day to install needed software, so i couldnt test it enough [01:44] mmm ;) [01:44] Next to IRC that is [01:45] Night all [01:45] lol [01:45] but i started to use ubuntu cause i heard so many good about it [01:45] i started to use linux after fedora kept continuously crashing on me ;) [01:45] netsurf3: fedora = linux ?? [01:46] yeah [01:46] edbian, fedora = redhat linux [01:46] i used fedora 10 i think it was when it came out [01:46] netsurf3: You switched to linux because linux kept crashing on you? [01:46] did full disk encryption [01:46] then one day i booted and it corrupted my entire lvm [01:46] o god [01:46] blet. [01:46] how can i find out what version of xfree86 is running? [01:46] edbian: sounds about right :-) [01:46] netsurf3: I have some boxes running fedora, none has ever crashed. Do you have a fujitsu computer or is your hd broken ? [01:47] lwizardl: man xfree86 might help :) [01:47] nope everything was A-okay at the time still is now [01:47] i lost my temper with pulseaudio though [01:47] edbian, i just ran the check.sh from ati and it said i'm not running xfree86 so something is wrong [01:47] it was horrific when it was first introduced [01:47] still far from it now although i love the paapplet [01:48] lwizardl: 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] edbian, check.sh determines what version of the linux ati driver is needed [01:48] netsurf3: #windows :P [01:48] i'm trying to get my video capture working on my aiw card [01:49] lwizardl: AFAIK there are only 2 options. Closed source fglrx and open source radeon. Are there more? [01:49] I 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] queso samba [01:49] edbian, well the ati drivers no longer use fglrx it has a new file aticonfig [01:50] queso, over ethernet/cat-5 [01:50] cor, can I do that wirelessly if both are connected to the same wireless router? [01:50] or that, sure [01:50] cor, are both methods just as easy? [01:50] .bin files can be executed with sudo? im reading a guide which says me to execute sudo jdk6.bin [01:50] it's relative [01:50] wired is generally easier, and more secure [01:50] lwizardl:What module do they use now? What is xfree86 ?? [01:50] BiggBoss: install jdk from the repos dude [01:50] i alredy did [01:50] but cant get jdk [01:51] i always get jse [01:51] BiggBoss: what are you talking about [01:51] !java | BiggBoss [01:51] edbian, i'm guessing its a type of X.Org [01:51] BiggBoss: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [01:51] BiggBoss, yes, anything can, if it's (+x) executable [01:51] i follow that documentation [01:51] and couldnt get jdk [01:51] lwizardl: You think xfree86 replaces Xorg ??? [01:52] BiggBoss: guaranteed that you are doing something wrong [01:52] isn't it in with the restricted drivers package or something? Mine just goes in itself [01:52] this what i used sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk [01:52] edbian, yeah becuase they have 2 options XFREE86 or X.Org [01:52] in truth, I'm new to the whole package thing, so feel free to ignore that [01:52] BiggBoss: sorry, that's not very useful..., you want openjdk-6-jdk/sun-java6-jdk [01:52] its that wrong? [01:52] hi [01:52] ok, ill try [01:52] BiggBoss: sounds right to me [01:52] If 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? [01:53] Mike man tar [01:53] lwizardl: 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] Mike_lifeguard: using tar to backup your whole system is silly if you want to incrementally update it [01:53] is there a way to backup all software packages downloaded from internet [01:53] cor: I wouldn't be asking if the answer was in the man page 9.9 [01:53] Mike_lifeguard: use rsync [01:54] bruenig: I didn't know rsync was for archiving [01:54] it can be [01:54] i just used sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk, then used java -version and i have Java SE [01:54] [01:55] anyone know a decoder file *. atc to mp3 [01:55] lwizardl: Looks like xorg is a fork of xfree86 (this happened btw before 2004) [01:55] happened well before then [01:55] Anyone know if I can install iftop on my tomato router? [01:55] so it still dont work :/ [01:55] is updating my ati drivers as simple as installing the FGLX (or is it fglrx) package? [01:56] is there a way to backup all software packages downloaded from internet [01:56] Hi, [01:56] !clone > jadeed [01:56] jadeed, please see my private message [01:56] how can I wake up a sleeping (S+) process? I pressed something, and my vi went into the sleeping state [01:56] lwizardl: It looks like all of the distros use xorg now for licensing reasons. I don't think you're running xfree86. Ubuntu uses xorg [01:57] is java-6-sun-1.6.0.10 = jdk? [01:57] lwizardl: Unless you installed it yourself. [01:57] BOBKA: fg [01:57] jadeed, actually that isn't what you want.. !aptoncd may be though [01:57] edbian, nope then i would need the x.org version [01:57] boss_mc: should I specify the pid to the process? [01:57] BOBKA: jobs gives you a list of processes [01:57] BOBKA: then fg ForeGrounds it [01:57] Question: I have a directory full of double extension files like: file1.rrd.xml file2.rrd.xml - How do I rename all the files to just remove the .rrd and leave the .xml? [01:57] lwizardl: Do you need any more help from me? :) [01:58] boss_mc: jobs doesn't give me anything ... it is the ps xaw that gives me the state of vi [01:58] this is what i get from a lspci -nm | grep VGA [01:58] I recently sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and I lost all gui after login screen, I tried to reconfigure xorg.conf from shell but I am having trouble, right now I am on another computer and I am hoping to get a gui back with some help, I think it may be a GNOME problem not sure... [01:58] 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200] [1002:5961] (rev 01) [01:58] Dunno is it's init or upstart, but drbd is starting before networking is starting, and fails. How can I adjust this? [01:58] lwizardl: I have a radeon 9550. I'm using the open source "radeon" driver and it runs great! I have also used fglrx with similar results [01:59] thneed: Did you try "startx" after logging in? [01:59] edbian, ok does your also do video capture? because this card does atleast on windows [01:59] thneed, from the shell, after the gui crashes, look in ~/.xsession-errors for possible hints as to why [01:59] thneed: what video card do you have and where did you get the drivers from? [01:59] lwizardl: It is not a capture card. [01:59] edbian, ok mine is [02:00] lwizardl: Good luck with it! :) [02:00] Question: I have a directory full of double extension files like: file1.rrd.xml file2.rrd.xml - How do I rename all the files to just remove the .rrd and leave the .xml? [02:00] thanks [02:00] I cannot load failsafe GNOME nor can I get to the Desktop after login [02:00] I always have to drop to a shell [02:00] thneed: what video card do you have and where did you get the drivers from? [02:01] Can anyone help? [02:01] Jeroth, what is the problem? [02:01] I have a directory full of double extension files like: file1.rrd.xml file2.rrd.xml - How do I rename all the files to just remove the .rrd and leave the .xml? [02:02] Jeroth, where are these located? [02:02] What in Ubuntu is responsible for the toolbars & menus (the ones at the top and bottom of the screen)? [02:02] In a folder on my drive. [02:02] They are files I created. [02:02] Im trying to rename them over SSH. [02:02] dfeuer: Gnome [02:02] But there are a few hundred [02:03] Jeroth, oh you need a batch rename? [02:03] yeah [02:03] please :) [02:03] Jeroth, this might help :) http://tips.webdesign10.com/how-to-bulk-rename-files-in-linux-in-the-terminal [02:03] sebsebseb, do you know what process? And whether it's possible to restart when it's crashed? Because I can use apps, and switch between them with alt-tab, but the toolbars are dead. [02:03] nvidia geforce 7600 I sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 as recommended after upgrade by synaptic [02:03] dfeuer: no [02:04] dfeuer: well [02:04] dfeuer: it's for resetting panels to default, but [02:04] ctmjr: I have a nvidiia geforce 7600 and I installed nvidia-glx-180 via synaptic [02:04] hi guys, is there any advice you can give me to improve flash performance? running 9.04, IBM T42p P-1.7m [02:04] !panels > dfeuer [02:04] dfeuer, please see my private message [02:04] sites with flash take up 100% cpu [02:04] Jeroth, if that is confusion in the terminal type man rename [02:05] Jeroth although man pages are more a pain than helpful in my opinion [02:05] sebsebseb, I don't want to reset them to defaults. [02:05] Just unfreeze them. [02:05] Bartman_: the T500's are a bit faster :) [02:05] In 9.04, how can I be sure the script is not started until networking starts? [02:05] dfeuer: ok I don't know then [02:05] :P [02:05] P'raps if I just kill grome-panel then. [02:05] dfeuer: you can do xkill in a terminal and close programs that freeze that way [02:05] !desktop [02:05] A desktop environment is what "puts the pieces of a !GUI together". The available desktop environments in Ubuntu are !GNOME (ubuntu-desktop), !KDE (kubuntu-desktop), !Xfce (xubuntu-desktop), IceWM, !Fluxbox, WindowMaker (wmaker), FVWM and others - See also !Flavors [02:06] Thanks coz, ive been reading that Im just trying to figure out how to do the double extension.... [02:06] Wow, killing gnome-panel worked. [02:06] dfeuer: with xkill? [02:06] does flash just use a lot of cpu time in linux? [02:06] man pages must be viewed in a web browser, or else they are annoying [02:06] ctmjr: ? [02:06] Knowing what process has frozen makes it much easier to fix stuff. [02:06] thneed: was this before or after the upgrade or both? what i am getting at is the driver gets compiled in the kernel so a new kernel breaks it [02:06] aptitude install man2html [02:06] Jeroth, still searching for a better how to hold on [02:06] Jeroth: how mnay files are you renaming? [02:06] No, sebsebseb, plain old kill. [02:06] a few hundred [02:06] ctmjr: I did it after upgrade because that is when it was recommneded [02:06] sebsebseb, I just did what the bot suggested, but left out the resetting to defaults part. [02:06] dfeuer: ah ok [02:07] dfeuer: yes that's why I got it to send that, because I thought you may have been able to make use of it [02:07] batch renamne? just make a quick for balh in blah do rename, no? [02:07] man rename [02:08] Jeroth, there is also a few applications in synaptic I am installing one name gprename right now [02:08] thneed: ok run this in a terminal on the broken machine sudo nvidia-xconfig and see if it helps [02:08] the rename command takes perl regular expression. hello! [02:09] i have seen something similar the desktop was not installed | thneed [02:09] ctmjr: there is no disk space to wrtie that [02:09] Jeroth, the application gprename has a gui if you are interested [02:09] is this jdk? java-6-sun-1.6.0.10 [02:09] hi [02:09] alright thanks ill check it out === rajesh is now known as Guest76345 [02:11] thneed: am sorry i am not sure what you mean by that [02:11] while i am updating my system i am getting an error E: The package adobe-flashplugin needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. can any one help me out. [02:11] how do i disable wlan0 interface? i'm currently using wlan1 and 0 is broken etc [02:11] Hey guys. I want to ask how much time is needed to make an operating system from the bottom-up. [02:12] Jeroth: here's a good article on how to do a bash for loop: http://freeos.com/guides/lsst/ch03sec06.html [02:12] ctmjr: okay it worked [02:12] bobbyyu: iwconfig wlan0 down [02:12] ctmjr: I need to insert driver line though...do i opt for glc? [02:12] er glx [02:13] while i am updating my system i am getting an error E: The package adobe-flashplugin needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. can any one help me out. [02:13] bobbyyu. about 25 years [02:13] ok looks like I'll just install xp and then dual boot so i can do video captures when i need to still [02:13] thneed: glx is not a driver you need to put nvidia as the driver [02:13] Guest76345: iwconfig: unknown command "down" [02:13] and even then it's full of bugs [02:13] how do i edit what programs open during startup? [02:13] lwizardl, what have you tried so far on linux? [02:13] What about Ubuntu? [02:13] plz wait [02:14] BellinXFelon, system/preferences/startup applications [02:14] ubottu: hi [02:14] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [02:15] I got it coz thanks everyone. I used: for f in *.xml; do base=`basename $f .rrd.xml`; mv $f $base.xml; done [02:15] ctmjr: I put under "Input Device" and then "Driver" : nvidia? [02:16] ctmjr: because under device and driver it says nvidia already [02:17] while i am updating my system i am getting an error E: The package adobe-flashplugin needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. can any one help me out. [02:17] in rhythmbox music player, when i insert a cd nothing happens, it requires me to import the cd as a folder in order for it to show up, how can i change that? [02:18] *sigh* right after they finally get the previous kernel running nice, a new comes in and the kernel oops's return [02:18] thneed: that is what it should say, have you tried to reboot it yet? the command i gave you should have configured your xrog file sorry was not to informative [02:18] ripps: so run the old kernel [02:19] hi all, im trying to install wireless drivers on my laptop [02:20] keep getting an error [02:20] coz_, followed a ubuntuforums guide and i don't seem to be able to bring in any video [02:20] ctmjr: now it says displaygtk-config not installed cannot configuer xorg without [02:20] I will try to dl it [02:20] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=740080 following those instructions and it keeps telling me that the package "ndiswrapper-utils-1.9" cant be found [02:20] lwizardl, do you have the link to that guide? [02:21] sec let me see if its still in the history [02:21] ohmygawd: To get ndiswrapper just run: "sudo apt-get install ndisgtk [02:21] thanks, i'll try it now [02:22] coz_, nope only one is this one https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [02:22] lwizardl, oh an ati card [02:23] yeah [02:23] leet!! [02:23] lwizardl, what are you trying to do again? [02:23] thneed: thats a new one on me let me look and see if i can find out something [02:23] edbian: do i then need to carry on with those instructions or go from after where he says to reboot? [02:23] coz_, my ATI Radeon 9200 on windows can do video capture, I would like to do the same on Linux [02:23] * ohmygawd is a newcomer to linux! [02:23] ohmygawd: Lemme read the instructions then I'll let you know. [02:24] lwizardl, and which application are you using on linux to do this with? [02:24] thanks [02:24] coz_, on windows the ati control panel has the programs, and so far i have nothing but vlc on linux [02:25] lwizardl, are you trying to capture television stuff ? [02:25] I'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] ohmygawd: 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] ctmjr: sorry, displayconfig-gtk [02:25] coz_, video game consoles, and VHS [02:25] ctmjr: that is the full name of the package, not int he repos though... [02:25] lwizardl, not usre then I believe it may be realted to zoran modules but let me check [02:26] ohmygawd: Do you have the windows drivers for your card? What card are you using anyway? [02:26] edbian, in which version of ubuntu? [02:26] bobbyyu:http://wirelessdefence.org/Contents/LinuxWirelessCommands.htm [02:26] if install a package through synaptic how do i find out where it installed to? [02:26] bazhang: Sorry? [02:26] edbian: its the card that came with the laptop, a Dell Inspiron 1525 [02:26] I started here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft which lead to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft/Troubleshooting [02:26] "Windows Wireless Drivers" edbian [02:26] bazhang: Any of them once you have the ndisgtk package installed? [02:26] which lead to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ and http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html [02:26] bazhang: It isn't in any of them by default. [02:27] edbian, ah thanks for the clarification [02:27] I 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] while i am updating my system i am getting an error E: The package adobe-flashplugin needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. can any one help me out. [02:27] ohmygawd: Do you have the ndiswrapper gtk open?? [02:27] bazhang: NP! :) [02:27] lwizardl, not sure I am searching google with this string ubuntu 9.04 radeon 9200 video capture you could change that a bit to get different results but so far nothing of signifigance [02:27] i am unable to update my system [02:28] ati in linux is like french fries with mustard [02:28] coz_, yeah i tried that also nothing grabbed my attention tho [02:28] hey, is there any way to put passwords on files? [02:28] lwizardl, mm you might try #linux channel for a better overview instead of ubuntu specific solutions [02:28] Guest76345: The adobe-flash package is not part of the main system. Try removing it completely and then upgrading! [02:29] xFlux, yeah which is sad since AMD makes the best proccessors IMO but now that they also have ATI seems they would get a clue [02:29] I 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] edbian: not at present, how do i do that? sorry! [02:29] ohmygawd: System -> Admin -> Windows Wireless Drivers [02:29] edbian: yes thats open [02:30] bruenig: If I use rsync for backing up, won't that just duplicate the filesystem somewhere (uncompressed, not an archive, just a copy)? [02:30] ohmygawd: (That is the ndisgtk package) [02:30] edbian: edbian: but its asking me for the inf file [02:30] ohmygawd: Do you have your windows drivers? The .inf and the .sys? [02:30] im assuming you have the drivers downloaded and installed for ATI? [02:30] can someone tell me why I can't get anywhere with this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [02:30] ohmygawd: Yeah you need it :) [02:30] the 2nd command fails. [02:30] edbian: im trying to locate them now, thanks :) [02:30] edbian: i think i can figure it out from here [02:30] ohmygawd: Ok! Good luck! [02:30] Mike_lifeguard: true, but if you want to incrementally sync it back up, your compression will take a massive amount of time [02:31] Chaotic_Descent: What ati card are you using?? [02:31] Maybe it has something to do with the instructions for Ubuntu 8 and 9 being identical save for a typo. [02:31] bruenig: true, but disk space is my concern, not time [02:31] (or cpu) [02:31] how do you put a password on a file? [02:31] edbian: Radeon 9600 [02:31] Mike_lifeguard: well then just retar everytime [02:31] Mike_lifeguard: there is no incremental way to tar, I mean maybe if you had absolutely no file modifications [02:31] Chaotic_Descent: You have two options for the driver. 1 - fglrx (closed source) 2 - "radeon" (open source) Which would you like to use? [02:32] tar doesn't read what is in a file [02:32] edbian: the one that works. preferably the one that's easiest to get working. [02:32] Chaotic_Descent: :) Lets try "radeon" first [02:32] thneed: something must have broke in your upgrade as that is the screen resolution gui it is suppose to be installed by default [02:33] when 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 exists [02:33] yeah, i am running an update on broken packages right now...we will see === drnorris is now known as a8ksh4 === a8ksh4 is now known as sh4 [02:34] can anything useful be done with an old almost burned out IDE 40gb hard drive? [02:34] bruenig: if you rsync -> tar(+compress?) would rsync still be able to work its incremental magic to update stuff? === e is now known as Guest97407 [02:34] edbian: cant locate my drivers... are there any good internet resources for these drivers? [02:34] ohmygawd: The site of the vendor of your card [02:35] Mike_lifeguard: if you rsynced you would still have to tar up the whole of the rsync dir [02:35] so it wouldn't be any different [02:35] what 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] Chaotic_Descent: I'm looking up the command to tell what modules you're currently using [02:35] hello 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] bruenig: sorry, I meant that you'd uncompress/untar it before trying rsync to update things [02:36] Chaotic_Descent: Run: lspci -k and look for your card [02:36] Mike_lifeguard: so you untar it, sync it, then tar up the whole of the now uncompressed and sync mirror dir? [02:36] synced* [02:36] LeChacal, no problems with that [02:36] LeChacal, I do it all the time on my Ubuntu Server install. [02:36] edbian: invalid option --k [02:36] Chaotic_Descent: just one - :) [02:36] bruenig: yeah [02:36] Chaotic_Descent: "lspci -k" [02:36] I used one - [02:37] Mike_lifeguard: that is the same thing as tarring up the actual dir, actually worse [02:37] it says "invalid option -- k" [02:37] \o/ [02:37] then I won't do it :D [02:37] what compression are you using with tar? [02:37] gzip? [02:37] digitalslave & nerr: ok thank, i didnt think it was that big a deal, i was more worried because it was an NTFS file system. [02:38] definitely should not be a problem so long as you cleanly mount and unmount the drive. [02:38] edbian: I copy/pasted to begin with. there's no 'k' option. [02:38] Chaotic_Descent: ??? "sudo lspci -k" ? [02:38] LeChacal, just dont be writing to it while you do it :) [02:38] edbian: correct. [02:39] Chaotic_Descent: Very odd. I just ran it 3 or 4 times on my system. Anyway. Try "lsmod | grep radeon" [02:39] im used to the lvm stuff with redhat... is there no way to mirror a couple data discs once ubuntu is already installed on an indepedant disc? [02:39] edbian: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AP [Radeon 9600] [02:39] edbian: I just tried lsmod by itself. [02:39] digitalslave: i just unplugged and i am still here so, i am just a worry wort [02:39] need to spice up ubuntu [02:39] I was wondering if anyone could help me install xserver-xgl [02:39] Chaotic_Descent: What driver are you currently using? [02:40] i should say im looking for software raid 1 :) [02:40] me? [02:40] anybody? [02:40] Hold on a sec panz. [02:40] k [02:40] edbian: uh... I don't know. I tried to use Envy, and it didn't work. I tried to enable the hardware restricted driver thing. I don't even know if they're related or in conflict or what. [02:41] Chaotic_Descent: You installed envy?? [02:41] !xserver-xgl [02:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about xserver-xgl [02:41] edbian: yes. [02:41] does anybody? [02:42] !patience [02:42] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [02:42] Sorry panz, I thought I would have a clue, but I don't. Sorry again. [02:42] no worries [02:42] I really would help, but I don't know how.. :D === zehrique is now known as zehrique-off [02:42] edbian: you have to understand, I have no idea what's going on here. the stuff I'm reading online doesn't offer a context for what it's suggesting. 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] Chaotic_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. [02:43] !raid | digitalslave [02:43] digitalslave: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [02:43] Hey all, for this screen share thing, I've been reading about tightVNC versus this vinagre, any thoughts on the two? [02:43] Chaotic_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] edbian: I hate computers so very, very much. [02:44] Chaotic_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] Chaotic_Descent: Sorry about this! Unfortunately you're in a dark spot in the linux world :( [02:44] yeah but i want to setup the raid AFTER installation and the main OS will not be on the raid volume [02:45] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [02:45] gparted does not seem to have these options [02:45] Chaotic_Descent: Also, can you run "man lspci" to prove to my and you that there is no -k option! I feel like i'm going crazy cause I'm sitting at my debian system looking at it :) [02:45] edbian: 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.desktop [02:46] edbian: this is all i can find on the broadcom site,http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php [02:46] that doesnt seem to be what im after [02:46] edbian: I'm not in debian. I'm in Ubuntu. [02:46] ohmygawd: I'm sorry I don't know where to find your drivers! :( [02:46] edbian: thanks anyway, just checking they werent the ones i was after :/ [02:46] panz3rghe1st: is there a special need for xgl you can download the tar file and compile it [02:47] well okay, my main problem is trying to find it xserver-xgl on synaptic. ive read multiple threads and they all say that xserver is in the universe repository but it isnt but my computer just cant find it. is there a reason why i cant see it even though it is there? [02:47] Chaotic_Descent: I know :). Is that the only thing that "locate envy" returned? [02:47] i c [02:47] thanx [02:47] edbian: yes. [02:47] are there any minimal iso install images for 9.04? something like the debian net-install images that are 150MB or so? [02:47] panz3rghe1st: it is no longer in the repos [02:48] Chaotic_Descent: I have to go now :( It appears that envy is not installed. You can search synaptic if you'd like. I recommend purging that file that locate found. Good luck with the rest of your project! [02:48] ctmjr: im trying to set up a multiple monitor profile in compiz that requires xserver-xgl [02:48] !minimal | jacko7723, yes [02:48] jacko7723, yes: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [02:48] Chaotic_Descent: Ask people "how can I use the radeon driver" or "how can I use the fglrx dirver" [02:48] dasei: thanks! [02:48] jacko7723, only 9MB [02:48] edbian: lspci -k is a valid command in ubuntu [02:49] not sure why i couldnt find it [02:49] I already screwed up my Ubuntu by trying to get video playback to work, and iPods to connect, and Windows partitions from things like iPods and thumb drives. now my iPod and thumb drives work on my MOM'S install of Ubuntu but not mine. I should just wipe it and start over. :P [02:49] I'm trying to install dctc on a server and aptitude seems determined that I should install all of X11 and gnome for this application [02:49] thats badass, very small [02:49] what am I doing wrong? [02:50] Chaotic_Descent: You can wipe if you want. It is very difficult however to get a linux install to a point where you HAVE to wipe. :) [02:50] edbian: thanks for trying. [02:50] Woo!

[03:32] * Pelo sighs a sigh of releaf , he's useless with cli stuff [03:32] yan yes once i suck with cable (the original was work) [03:32] I hate computers so, so much. [03:33] Chaotic_Descent, what's your issue again ? [03:33] hm, Very big device. Trying to use READ CAPACITY(16). >>> READ CAPACITY(16) failed [03:33] PhotoJim: cant really tell, this system only has ubuntu [03:34] Can I use an XUbuntu live cd to recover the Ubuntu Server password? Both are 9.04 [03:34] I have no Server live CD and grub fails to go into menu [03:34] Pelo: (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] yan: 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] DasEi1: one thing i forgot: the hdd is supposed to be 1tb but the partitionmanager tells me it has 2tb [03:34] gartral: 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] kingnerdmobile: any livecd will do [03:34] I 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 bit [03:34] kingnerdmobile: you dont need any cd, you need too boot into the recovery console [03:34] can someone tell me which one is correct? [03:35] PhotoJim: i have done that already, this most deffinately is a problem in software... [03:35] Running 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] Chaotic_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 again [03:35] gartral: 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] DasEi1: 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 anymore [03:35] for kill a process every startup, what is the right way? (a script to put on /etc/init.d/ or anything else ? [03:36] kingnerdmobile:yes, you can either alter menu.lst for a longer grub delay or chroot into your system [03:36] how do you install the correct graphic drivers for ubuntu ? [03:36] PhotoJim: 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 too [03:36] Pelo: thanks. I'm trying that now. [03:36] gartral: 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] why does it automatically slow down my cpu? [03:36] Mac os x is better than ubuntu [03:37] DasEi1, my problem isn't the delay, grub isn't taking any keystrokes [03:37] PhotoJim: 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] yan : 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) [03:38] gartral: 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] How 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] DasEi1: hm, ok. i thought i could do the overwrite from linuy, too [03:38] yan synaptic---gparted good luck [03:38] Mac os x is better than ubuntu [03:38] yan : but gparted lists the drive ad you don't need data from it ? [03:38] PhotoJim: brasario said "cannot burn media with selected plugins"... thats the main error when i try and force a burn [03:38] HFSPLUS: it's not going to work, no holly warriors here.... [03:38] I get so frustrated with computers, especially Ubuntu. USB headset doesn't work? spend a few hours trying to figure out what command-line or file setting you need to change! every problem is like that. iPod not connecting, USB thumb drive not loading, USB headset, 3D graphics acceleration, etc, etc, etc. [03:39] Robbie_Crash, try asking in ##linux [03:39] HFS+ is also better than EXT3 [03:39] and ext4 [03:39] and HFSPLUS is a troll [03:39] Pelo thanks [03:39] If i was a troll i would be living under a bridge [03:39] * Pelo gives HFSPLUS a cookie [03:39] !troll | HFSPLUS [03:39] HFSPLUS: trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel [03:39] DasEi1: gparted doesnt but the kde partionmanager does. i dont need the data, no [03:40] well i am not a troll since i dont live under a bridge [03:40] If I was a troll, I'd beat you with a club [03:40] yan: one sec, booting in kde [03:40] gartral: hmm, plugin issue. not sure what that would be. but separate issue from not recognizing discs.

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] DasEi1: i think its this one: http://sourceforge.net/projects/partitionman/ [03:43] safruhani, if you know the prog that starts the process you can try uninstalling it from synaptic [03:43] Pelo: ah its 3... is it anybetter or worst? [03:43] i call it via "partitionmanager" from terminal [03:44] gartral: 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] ok thanks PhotoJim [03:44] hemightbetodd, are you using compiz ? [03:44] thanks Pelo [03:44] Okay, so I can just boot the live cd and paste a blank hash over mine in the shadow file... Correct? [03:45] yan: found it; if you open it, click sdb, can you set a new partiton table ? (Ctrl+Shift+N) ? [03:45] DasEi1: yes. then i click on apply and i get the error [03:45] ok , I'm out, g'night folks [03:45] my sources.list is giving me several errors when realoading. can anyone have a look and tell me what is wrong with it? http://pastebin.org/4100 [03:46] DasEi1: this is the hdd: http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=563&language=en [03:46] hi, is there some docs on how to get software into Ubuntu's package manager? I'm thinking of writing a small app that would be useful [03:46] yan: looks more and more like a faulty drive, so first let's check that the lap supports one tb, what was the model again ? [03:47] Pelo, 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] DasEi1: a new thinkpad t400 [03:47] MrPiracy, try commenting out the problematic ones (# in front of them) and try again [03:47] hmm, i recalled selecting ext4 and somehow I ended up ext3...how is this possible? [03:48] 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] FrozenFire[work], a usb stick? [03:49] if you want to change the hardware MAC address of a bluetooth device (technically a BD address), grab the source fro "bdaddr", which does exactly this [03:49] bazhang, it would be on a USB hard disk. [03:49] hi all. i have "nVidia Corporation MCP73 High Definition Audio" with s/pdif output on my motherboard. is there any way i can verify that there are working drivers for this before i start looking to mate the header pins on my motherboard to coax? [03:49] hi [03:49] the change is permenent, at least on any particular setup, when you re-plug it, the new mac is still there. [03:50] my mate's dongle was effin huge! [03:50] fnar fnar! [03:50] bazhang: but they have some apps i want to install [03:50] cor, please keep it family friendly [03:50] http://www.siddharthabbineni.com/tech/hardware/change-bluetooth-device-mac-address.html [03:50] bazhang: that's the 10000th time i install ubuntu this week and this is the 1st time i get errors with these servers :( [03:51] MrPiracy, then try again later [03:51] I am overclocking my cpu, but, the cpu scaling feature won't let me run at the full capacity. dmesg detects the cpus to be 3Gz processor (after overclocking), but, the cpus run at most at 2400 even at the highest load [03:51] bazhang: now is later already. i tried them 2 days ago [03:51] is this repository servers? [03:51] DasEi1: any ore ideas [03:51] I cant get the audio to work, can anyone give me a hand plz? [03:51] bazhang: i thought there was a problem with my internet connection, but here i am, aren't i? [03:52] MrPiracy, there are some 3rd party repos in there; so many likely are the issue [03:52] probably after 100000 updates of the exact same file, they banned your ip block [03:52] is there a way to automatically add KDE menu items to the Applications menu? [03:52] bazhang: if i ping them, i get a reply. how come the updater says there's no route to it? [03:53] MrPiracy, is your gateway setup correctly? [03:53] MrPiracy, not sure, as they are 3rd party [03:53] cor: it's set to my router [03:53] cor, bazhang: ok, let me try to use default settings for the eth0 [03:53] yan: I haven't found a particular info on the specs, but think the lap should do it (internal 250 >> chip capable); strange is that if just faulty, fdisk -l should find it;; do a : mount | pastebinit [03:55] DasEi1: http://pastebin.com/f3b79159 [03:55] hey all, anyone use tee much? for some reason whenever I use it with a couple Perl scripts, it seems to "buffer" the output and never actually gives me output as stdout is getting it... :/ [03:56] cor, bazhang: not working [03:56] what's the actual error you are getting, and exactly what server are we referring to? [03:57] Hello. Has anyone had success with DVDStyler? When I try to get the project onto a disk (or as an ISO), the output keeps saying something like: [03:57] unused byte should be null but is 228!! [03:57] unused byte should be null but is 186!! [03:57] Multiple frames in a packet from stream 1 [03:57] ubuntu_giant: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:57] volve, 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] PhotoJim: 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 burn [03:57] Once 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. [03:58] unop: because tee already exists, and it does what I need... ? [03:58] Maybe I'm using the wrong codec? :( [03:58] gartral: 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. [03:59] yan : sudo hdparm -i /dev/sdb | pastebinit && sudo hdparm -z /dev/sdb [03:59] the icon for my wireless connection at home says Im connected, but I cant connect to anything with firefox. Anyone know what is wrong? [04:00] yan : sudo hdparm -i /dev/sdb | pastebinit [04:01] volve, well, sure, but its very unusual use of a mixture of perl and external utilities. anyway, how do you use tee here exactly? in open() ? [04:01] DasEi1: 1) HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed: Invalid argument 2) re-reading partition table BLKRRPART failed: Input/output error [04:02] unop: just from the command-line, so: perl foo.pl | tee bar.log === artillerytx is now known as chrislabeard [04:02] volve, is $| set in your perl script? [04:03] omg $|, I totally forgot about crazy Perl vars, thanks! [04:03] I am trying to download a torrent and I currently have Transmission running, but when I select the torrent, KTorrent comes up as default. I try to select other, but I'm left with a file browser and I have no idea where to find Transmission in my file system. [04:04] yan : sudo hdparm -z /dev/sdb [04:04] volve, well, i wouldn't call it crazy - pretty much every language defaults to buffered output. [04:04] s/defaults to/defaults to using/ [04:04] when I run chown I get a permission denied, what would cause this? [04:04] yan : sudo hdparm /dev/sdb | pastebinit [04:04] sud chown dsmith:dsmith -rv /files [04:04] unop: in any case, I totally forgot, thanks :) [04:04] dsmith_: use sudo [04:04] I did [04:04] that was a typo [04:05] DasEi1: same [04:05] dsmith_: what are you trying to change ownership to [04:05] of [04:05] it shows as vmware:vmware now [04:05] dsmith:dsmith [04:05] DasEi1: sorry, http://pastebin.com/f4fbcb4c8 [04:06] i even created a vmware user and group and tried changing it under su -l vmware [04:06] to no avail [04:07] hi guys... [04:07] i'm having a trouble with firefox, it is crashing and have no sound [04:08] yan: 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] ok DasEi1, thank you very much for your help! [04:09] dsmith_: i don't have any trouble changing a directory from my group:user to root:root [04:09] yan: you may read man hdparm an decide yourself trying k option [04:09] dsmith_: this works fine for me, but i didn't specify recursive => sudo chown root:root -v lfs [04:10] whats lfs? [04:10] sorry folks, but i've forgotten the name of the ATI drivers i should try, was it "radeonhd" ?? [04:10] it's a directory [04:10] DasEi1: i think option is more likely to be chosen ;) [04:10] ok [04:10] DasEi1: *option 2 [04:11] oh nvm linux file system, gotcha [04:11] Anyone had success with DVDStyler? [04:11] CptnAwesome, radeon [04:11] yan : the info can still be read from disk and if it spins at strtup, better try to safe/not give a cause for loosing warranty [04:11] bazhang, i can just apt-get that? [04:12] anyone can help me? [04:12] easy question on MBR,say my box dual boots, Ubuntu and XP. If I reinstall XP without touching the Ubuntu partitions, will the MBR be reinstalled? [04:12] DasEi1: ok [04:12] aren't ati drivers restricted [04:12] I know XP does it, but just wondering and making sure about it! [04:13] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver CptnAwesome [04:13] giiker: no, xp will overwrite mbr, see: [04:13] !grub [04:13] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [04:13] TiM: What appears to be the problem? [04:13] thanks =) [04:13] giiker: yes, the MBR will then hold the windows bootloader, and you will temporarily loose the ability too boot ubuntu [04:13] ubuntu_giant: no sound on firefox and crashing [04:13] gartral: I knew it, just wanted to make sure about it! thanks! [04:14] ubuntu_giant: and opera without flash [04:14] this is the best support/help one could get anywhere! [04:14] TiM: No sound in Firefox in what way? [04:14] ubuntu_giant: youtube [04:15] Ah. [04:15] any of yall know how to host more than 1 domain off of ubuntu ? [04:15] TiM: Did you install Flash from the Adobe site or through the repostiory? [04:15] *repository* [04:16] ubuntu_giant: i installed from adobe's site [04:16] Maybe you could try re-installing it from apt-get. [04:16] yan : one last think comes to my mind: some hds can be paked by a special command, though my experience is they show up in fdik, that may also be a reason (drive lock) [04:16] parked* [04:17] everyone lick your keyboards now or ubuntu will crash!!!!!!!!!! [04:17] sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer. [04:17] imgoofygoober: Nope, no trolls here. :) [04:17] should we call the ops on imgoofygoober ? [04:17] @Chaotic, you can put a "#" character in front of that line. [04:17] ubuntu_giant: let's try it [04:17] DasEi1: hm, i dont think thats the case === saulus_ is now known as SauLus [04:18] Anyone know about DVDStyler, or a channel where I can get DVDStyler-specific help? [04:18] hi guys, how can i tell how much RAM a process is taking ? [04:18] eladmeidar: The command "free" [04:18] * eladmeidar fires up man [04:18] ubuntu_giant: thanx [04:18] ubuntu_giant, that is a windows app? [04:18] haha everyones ubuntu is crashing [04:18] hola a todos [04:18] elameidar: I believe your actually wanting top, not free [04:19] imgoofygoober, take chat elsewhere please [04:19] alex__: actually yeah [04:19] alex__: so thank you too than. [04:19] :) [04:19] eladmeidar: Your welcome [04:19] yan: so steps2, check warranty and weight further options (I never broke a drive by hdparm-k, but chipsets vary and hdparm has some stuff can be found afterwards at manufacturer, though most notchecked deeply) [04:19] bazhang: For memory usage? Try CTRL+ALT+DELETE and you'll get to a system monitor. [04:19] hey [04:19] my internal speaker came on [04:19] how can I turn it off? [04:19] ubuntu_giant, no, dvdstyler [04:19] DasEi1: ok, thanks for your help [04:19] ubuntu_giant: The default command for ctrl+alt+delete is shut down computer [04:20] No, dvdstyler is for Linux. [04:20] ubuntu_giant, in the repos? [04:20] yan: sorry for no effort, np [04:20] bazhang: Yup.

[04:21] Anyone know how to turn on the keyboard window management features in Xfce 4.6 in Ubuntu 9.04? [04:21] jamescarr_: Um... what noise is it making?

[04:21] hi all, im new to linux (made the transition from a mac)... is there a way of scanning all the networks in the area or automatically joining any unsecured networks, like AirPort does on a Mac? [04:21] preferably GUI [04:21] alex__, loud piercing beeps when doing autocomplete [04:21] on the console [04:21] it's annoying!!! [04:21] install gentoo [04:22] I am starting to get some rsi symptoms while using the mouse a lot. [04:22] jamescarr_: Hm... Not sure, sorry. I don't ever plug in my internal speaker unless I'm having boot troubles. lol [04:22] imgoofygoober, stay on topic [04:22] jamescarr: rmmod pcspkr [04:22] can one resize ntfs in the ubuntu installer? [04:22] I know DVDs are an FAQ but, I've been through all the instructions and I still get """Could not open location; you might not have permission to open the file.""" [04:23] Cyrano_De, THANK YOU so much!!! [04:23] cast: You should be able to. Your meaning create a new partition from an NTFS correct? [04:23] Cyrano_De: I don't know if you're interested but naturally speaking is working under wine so you can use speech recognition to generate text just as I'm doing now [04:23] jamescarr_: That will turn it off immediatly. To keep it off add pcspkr to the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file [04:23] the link posted earlier about ATI cards, doesnt seem to mention anywhere where the driver is actually installed? or is it simply about setting it up manually in the conf files? [04:24] lampliter: cool! [04:24] alex__: i'm meaning shrink an ntfs partition to make enough space for an ubuntu partition [04:24] lampliter: speach is not really an option for most of my work. I am in a tight not very sound proof cubicle farm. [04:24] ubuntu_giant: noting happend [04:25] TiM: Sorry, then, I don't know. Try restarting. [04:25] :( [04:25] lampliter: I am also on conference calls for at least 8 hours every week. Voice commands are useless then. [04:25] is there a GUI way of scanning all wireless networks in the area? [04:25] cast: Yeah, that is the same thing as creating a new partition from an NTFS volume. You should back up your important files before doing it just in case of problems though. [04:25] ubuntu_giant: tks a lot [04:25] OMG I am having a panic attack! I have an external hard drive that I was copying information from but all of the sudden the drive is nolonger recognized! [04:25] anyone else can help about no sound on firefox and it crashing [04:25] if i'm going to install firefox-3.5, should i apt-get remove firefox-3.0 and *-gnome-support and *-branding first? [04:26] how can I recover my hard drive? [04:26] KittyBoots: Have you unplugged it and plugged it back in? And if so, have you tried it on another computer? [04:26] (firefox 3.5 from the jaunty universe repo) [04:26] KittyBoots: Also, you can click on "Places" and see if there is a hard drive there matching the size of the one your looking for. [04:26] cool cool [04:27] Cyrano_De: As it's currently implemented, yes, speech recognition is useless on a conference call. I've worked on a couple of prototypes for small office situations in which one could continue to use speech recognition while interacting with a customer. It's all about audio control. [04:27] KittyBoots: Right underneath "Computer" [04:28] I may just revert back to 8.10 all over the place. 9.04 has locked up a lot on both my new laptop and my i7 desktop. [04:29] KittyBoots: if it's not showing up, try unplugging it and plugging it back in [04:29] alex_: I am freaking out! My hard drive has important work on it! The drive is not recognized at all on this machine anymore, I have used it many times, I do not have any other computers with me to test. It is a western digital usb 2.5 [04:29] I unplugged and plugged it back in [04:29] KittyBoots: And you have checked to see if it's just not mounted? [04:30] KittyBoots: even sudo fdisk -l doesn't find it ? [04:30] I will try to see if it shows up [04:30] Cyrano_De: i have had teh same issues the whole way through with jaunty. very irritating [04:30] Cyrano_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] I'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 cas [04:30] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver <<-- doesnt seem to mention anywhere how to INSTALL the driver, or where to get it, or is the process ONLY about setting it up with the config files? [04:31] so i upgraded my video card from geforce 6600 to an 8400 and now every time i reboot i have to manually set my right resolution... any tips? [04:31] and I still need help with playing my dvd.. [04:31] did all the faq stuff nbit no joy [04:31] CptnAwesome: did you remove the non working propitary one ? [04:32] cryptide: you could try: dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server [04:32] auk [04:32] lampliter: I'm going to go back to 8.10 and xfce 4.4 that has pretty much full keyboard control. And I get a stable system that I can count on to boot. [04:32] DasEi1, yes i did, and now i have a smaller screen res. [04:32] will do [04:32] I'm trying to burn the video DVD iso image onto an vfat system. Could that be the problem? [04:33] auk: Package `xorg-server' is not installed and no info is available. [04:33] anyone want to answer me on the firefox 3.5 issue? [04:34] auk: the system will automatically reinstall 3.0 when you install 3.5, they require that you have both [04:34] C(u) * [04:34] which causes some irritating things to happen but nothing big [04:34] CptnAwesome: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd [04:34] DasEil: It appears as though sudo fdisk -l shows the presence of the drive [04:34] ahh thanks [04:34] C(u) * == "See you all!" [04:34] so why does firefox-3.5 from mozilla require firefox-3.0 : / [04:34] Cyrano_De: did that (sunos4 and emacs) didn't help. still had the Physical ability to program taken away from me. [04:34] KittyBoots: k, good sign [04:34] I am going to try rebooting to see if it clears things up [04:34] colloguy: I think firefox-3.5 requires firefox which requires firefox-3.0 IIRC [04:35] KittyBoots:mount < ? [04:35] off to do something I am going to regret (upgrading to karmic) [04:35] KittyBoots:enter mount in terminal, check [04:36] Any case, I'm trying to put together a project where we can start building the framework for editing code using speech recognition. Before you doubt whether not it's possible, remember. I've spent 15 years working on the problem with other injured programmers and the first generation turned out really nice for creating code and not so good for editing code. [04:36] Jared555: thanks so i'll just go ahead and install -3.5 on top [04:36] hrmmm ctrl+alt+backspace doesnt do anything =( [04:37] DasEil: how do I mount it? [04:37] !dontzap | CptnAwesome [04:37] CptnAwesome: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. [04:37] KittyBoots:do not mount it this time, make sure it''s not listet in output of 'mount' [04:37] do* [04:37] just a quick question, what the hell is SysRq ? [04:38] pelmen, prtscrn [04:38] ok thanks [04:38] * CptnAwesome doesnt have a sysrq key [04:38] DasEil: Ok then restart? [04:38] CptnAwesome, its the print screen button/key [04:38] KittyBoots: what's the devicename ? /dev/sdb1 ? [04:39] yes [04:39] KittyBoots: e2fsck -p /dev/sdb1 [04:39] DasEi1: NO [04:39] cast : ?

The plugin firefox uses is the totem one. It works, but it's extremely bogus, it doesn't seem to buffer properly and it stops every half second (on a good stream, with a good connection) [04:49] is there anything i can do about that? [04:49] asas: theres probably a few docs around for how to restore grub, it's not too hard, i normally just use a livecd [04:49] If he installs ssh-server on the windows host he may be able to use sshfs on ubuntu to mount the volume over ssh. I have not tried that with a windows host. Works wonders with a pair of Linux hosts.

Target windows disk is different [05:30] I 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] gartral: I have the X-Server config but i didnt see what you said to do [05:30] mlissner: no [05:30] has 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] Is this a known issue [05:30] I 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? [05:31] wiseman: 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] \X/ [05:31] wiseman: Also, have you considered virtualbox? [05:31] quinton: PM.. [05:31] any iPod owners here, what program do you use? [05:31] so 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 it [05:31] is it mainly Banshee? [05:31] So...if nobody knows how to do japanese input...does anybody understand/use scim? [05:32] so 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. [05:33] wiseman: 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] SchmittyDoesIt: type sudo aptitude install sun-java6-plugin [05:33] mlissner: have you added japanese in System>Admistration>Language Support? [05:33] anyone want to talk java with me? Anyone have it working [05:33] ok IcemanV9 one sec [05:33] wiseman: are you following a guide? Also, did you see my question about virtualbox? [05:34] wiseman- did you check the boot order of your bios? [05:34] arquebus: 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] wiseman - I have also heard similar stories about Either Ubuntu or Window$ messing up the MBR in Dual boots. [05:35] how would I use virtualbox in this situation? I don't have any installation discs, just the partition [05:35] debuild question: what does "dpkg-source: warning: ignoring deletion of file foo" mean? [05:35] IcemanV9: your the shit, i don't care what they say about you [05:35] wiseman: if you install purely ubuntu, you can then install virtualbox and run windows in that. [05:36] but i I install purely ubuntu I lose my partition [05:36] and I can't install windows [05:36] wiseman: OK, maybe I'm confused. [05:37] like this [05:37] SchmittyDoesIt: i'm sorry? does it work? [05:37] i would fresh install ubuntu [05:37] vb windows [05:37] ok it won't boot from gparted [05:37] wiseman: you have two partitions that you just installed, right? One is windows, the other is mint? [05:37] Ok, again, any 2d scroller that works in ubuntu without the need for opengl [05:38] mlissner: 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] wiseman: 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] hi all [05:38] wiseman? [05:38] hi trollboy [05:38] IcemanV9: yes it works. This helped my girlfriend. I think you just got me laid. [05:38] wiseman: OK, so you don't mind if you wipe the whole disk? [05:38] we're not related are we? [05:38] mlissner: that's the point [05:39] wiseman: just making sure. [05:39] trollboy: we may be [05:39] SchmittyDoesIt: glad it works. [05:39] scary [05:39] I've already saved everything important to an external [05:39] wiseman: so if you want, you can use an iso to install purely mint. [05:39] hello guys [05:39] you're not related to the ohio wiseman's are you? [05:39] so I'm just trying to do some kill it with fire style spring cleaning [05:39] wiseman: once that's installed, you can install windows into virtualbox as a program within mint. [05:39] ok, maybe a good pinball game that does not require opengl [05:39] trollboy maybe, but I'm from california and my dad is from indiana [05:40] quite possible then [05:40] weird [05:40] what's up Bookman [05:40] mlissner: I'm well aware that I can just install mint and kill everything [05:40] I hve ubuntu installed n if I want to remove it n install kubuntu in to the system [05:40] mlissner: but I also need to have a windows partition [05:40] do i hve to restore the mbr of windows [05:40] hey eross [05:40] so whats the command similar to ctl+alt+del that i can use to take back control over a game that has froze? [05:41] wiseman: OK, so you do want to have dual boot as opposed to virtualizing windows. [05:41] mlissner: I'd like to. BUT if I just install linux over everything I would lose my windows partition, right? [05:41] wiseman: Right, but I thought you didn't mind wiping everything? [05:41] I 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. [05:42] bookman are you looking for non-opengl games? [05:42] eross: yup [05:42] eross: a good 2d scroller would be awesome....duke nukem style [05:42] wiseman: you can downsize the windows partition via gparted and install ubuntu onto the free space === VasaN is now known as evas80 [05:42] wiseman: OH! I see, you're trying to keep the recovery partition for windows? [05:42] I 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] YES [05:42] SDL is out of the question? [05:43] more importantly I'm trying to access it [05:43] see wiseman [05:43] because the windows recovery tool does not see it [05:43] wiseman: we have achieved understanding. [05:43] and now the healing can begin [05:43] wiseman: OK...now I have to think about how to make that partition useful... [05:43] enter: Gparted [05:43] but it won't load [05:43] eross: SDL? [05:44] SDL uses OpenGL, its not different than SDL [05:44] the 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 stuff [05:44] wiseman: 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] wiseman: 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'? [05:45] wiseman: when you boot the pc, hit f2 , f10 or whatever to enter BIOS info. make sure cd-rom is first before the hard drive [05:45] have you searched here? http://happypenguin.org/ [05:45] gkasinath: You mocking me? [05:46] mlissner: the windows people think that the partition is hidden and needs to be unhidden [05:46] What was that wine help channel? [05:46] IcemanV9: I manually tell it to boot from cd [05:46] I restarted and lost it. [05:46] wiseman: I say bah to that. As far as I know there's no concept of hidden partition with linux. [05:46] wiseman: just mounted or not. [05:46] Chaotic_Descent: #winehq [05:46] IcemanV9: and that worked when I ran the Mint live CD, but not the gparted thing [05:47] mlissner: but there is forr windows, aparently [05:47] and that may be my problem [05:47] Here's a 2d rpg, manaworld: http://themanaworld.org/index.php [05:47] so how would you propose I make it useful again? [05:47] woops mmorpg [05:47] wiseman: I think windows is calling hidden to mean unmounted, unknown. [05:47] mlissner: no, just saying that your tip has helped me well. [05:47] wiseman: so when you start gparted, the partition doesn't show? [05:48] I can't start gparted [05:48] gkasinath: 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] wiseman: gotcha. mdsum5 gparted iso (and CD) to be sure it's not corrupted. [05:48] mlissner: :) [05:48] wiseman: that's odd. what happens when you try? [05:48] Linux reads it fine when Its up [05:49] mlissner: nothing at all [05:49] eross: thanks for the links! Exploring now. Duke Nukem clone would be just awesome [05:49] It pauses then boots from HDD [05:49] usb joystick is not working with visual boy advance using vba express frontend, any help plz [05:49] IcemanV9: I don't think it is, everything looks fine when I explore it [05:50] eross: the links you gave don't seem to be valid once you want to download [05:50] wiseman: Now you lost me. gparted is a program. [05:50] wiseman: so confused.... [05:50] Anyone else with a good scrolling game for Ubuntu out there? [05:51] mlissner: you load it when the computer is already booted? [05:51] wiseman: there is gparted on ubuntu livecd, use that instead [05:51] wiseman: Fact. [05:51] mlissner: booting ubuntu now then [05:51] wiseman: hahaha. Funny. K. [05:51] which one [05:52] how can I boot the ubuntu netbook remix .img file in Vmware Fusion? [05:52] pm me [05:52] ok ubuntu is now up and jamming [05:52] wiseman: Cool. Start up gparted. [05:52] how do I get gparted to go [05:53] wiseman: you probably have to install it. otherwise: gksudo gparted should work [05:53] hmmmm..... [05:53] you mean I didn't have to waste a cd? [05:54] wiseman: no, I mean install gparted. [05:54] install how? [05:54] lol, I've never installed anything from a CD in linux [05:54] Oh...I thought you could boot the mint install... [05:54] you're booting a live CD? [05:54] No [05:55] ok fact check [05:55] I have ubuntu [05:55] hit me [05:55] ubuntu has been on this computer for over a year [05:55] * Whoop hits mlissner [05:55] it is installed, has its own partition, etc [05:55] this is all part of an elaborate spring cleaning of windows and upgrade to Mint [05:55] forget about Mint right now [05:56] I have the liveCD, I can install that any time I want [05:56] right now I need to get the windows part straightened out because if that gets lost then I'm in big heap troubl [05:56] Gotcha. [05:56] So what we want to do is make an iso (or something) of the windows partition, right? [05:56] gart, yt? [05:57] mlissner: if thats what it takes to fix it, but I think that would take too much space. [05:57] I don't have any blank DVDs right now [05:57] all 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] so forget everything else, get me into gparted and I'll see if I'm facing in the right direction [05:57] wiseman: OK...well, you can't install gparted (to my knowledge) from a live CD. [05:58] ok how do I GET TO gparted then when I have the CD\ [05:58] wiseman: You can install it to a live USB disk, or to your existing ubuntu install [05:58] how to password or encryption for files ? that could not opened in otherlinux or os or ... ? [05:58] so what the hell good is the cd then? [05:58] usb joystick is not working with visual boy advance using vba express frontend, any help plz [05:58] wiseman: Or, there are liveCD's that come with gparted...but I don't think Ubuntu is one of 'em. [05:58] wiseman: it's for installing, I'm afraid. [05:59] so....let's install it then [05:59] ......... [05:59] how can I boot the ubuntu netbook remix .img file in Vmware Fusion? [05:59] You mean install gparted on your existing ubuntu, or install ubuntu? [05:59] wiseman: GParted is very powerfully, make bake up immediately. [06:00] ok aparently I can just apt-get gparted, so I wasted a CD there [06:01] wiseman: 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] how can i install latest version of ubuntu kernel ? [06:01] wiseman: alas. [06:01] wiseman: I loss my partition cause GParted. [06:01] what's the command to install latest version of kernel ? [06:01] mlissner: check this [06:02] the windows partition that contains my iinstall data has a big orange exclamation mark near it [06:02] thats no good [06:02] wiseman: Hey you got gparted going! [06:02] yeah, the CD was a waste [06:02] I just used apt-get [06:02] wiseman: Actually, I think that's just to keep you on your toes. [06:02] god bless apt-get [06:03] everything else has a key by it, this one has an exclamation mark [06:03] is there any command to install latest ubuntu kernel ? [06:03] wiseman: if you get trouble about cybercrime, use GParted. lol [06:03] wiseman: 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] oooh unable to read contents....possibly corrupted datas! [06:03] SNAP [06:04] naise [06:04] I was afraid of this...I ran into a rash of corrupted data a while back but It seemed to sort itself out. [06:04] wiseman: Do you have NTFS tools installed? [06:04] yeah [06:04] I can read my regular windows drive fine [06:04] wiseman: eek. Well, I should abstain from advise about corrupted disks. [06:04] but there's an itty bitty 1.4gb partition that contains all the stuff I need. [06:05] wiseman: Nice. [06:05] I found it http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-or-unix-password-protecting-files.html but not any change on my text file [06:05] what is a good program I can use to create flash ads [06:05] wiseman: So if you right click on the partition, and go to flags, you can see if the hidden flag is on. [06:05] mlissner: I checked, that's not it [06:06] seems the data is somehow corrupted [06:06] wiseman: bloody hell man. tough times. [06:06] file_file: which version of ubuntu (lsb_release -r) and what's the version of kernel (uname -r) [06:07] wiseman: ping me if I can be more assistance. I think I may have reached the end of my useful advice. [06:07] hi =) [06:08] i have a litle problem with my noutebook. [06:08] mlissner: k. I may have found something called testdisk that may fit the bill === Paddy_NI_ is now known as Paddy_NI [06:10] hai [06:12] i connected 2-nd monitor. and my resolution changed. when i disconected it. when i disconected 2-nd monitor my resolution get back but now my monitor has no clear picture [06:12] i tryed to reconfigure xorg & xserver but no result [06:13] konsatntin: system > preferences > display [06:14] what should I have in fstab for a jfs filesystem? jfs_fsck reports the filesystm is clean but it won't mount [06:14] I have this: /dev/md_d0 /mnt/md0 jfs relatime 0 2 [06:14] oops [06:15] I was typing in the wrong room lol [06:15] billytwowilly: Here is a fantastic guide on fstab: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab [06:15] mlissner: you still here? [06:15] edbian: thanks [06:15] wiseman: I am. Sup? [06:15] billytwowilly: Complete with examples! [06:15] any of yall use webmin ? [06:15] or anybody else [06:15] billytwowilly: NP [06:15] IcemanV9 : there is nothing helped me. i tried to change resolution and frequency nothing good =( [06:15] I'm looking at a util called testdisk [06:15] k [06:15] and it will allow me to rewrite the partition tables on a volume [06:15] will that kill everything on it, or just clean up the file tables so it can be read? [06:16] I think partition tables are different than the file tables you're thinking of. [06:16] partition tables are how the disk is arranged & what flags it has [06:16] dmesg says: [ 264.892595] md_d0: unknown partition table [06:16] well this is what it says to do to recover a lost partition [06:16] file tables are the journal of which data was written where, when. [06:16] but i don;t know [06:17] wiseman: so if you're trying to fix corrupted data, partition tables are not what you're looking for. [06:17] anybody plz help [06:17] konsatntin: logout and log back on? ctrl+alt+backspace? to get the resolution back? [06:18] mlissner: well i don't know if corrupted is the correct terminology for it anyway === oobe is now known as `0OoOoO0OoOoO0` [06:18] howdy, I was wondering why or where I could find why the colors are what they are in the output of ls -l. (specifically, why one of my files has a green box around it) === `0OoOoO0OoOoO0` is now known as oobe [06:18] IcemanV9: resolution is fine. [06:18] wiseman: hmmm... [06:19] wiseman: well, I don't think that the partition tables are what you're after in any case. [06:19] mlissner: uh oh... [06:19] nyaa: green means it has an executable permission [06:19] IcemanV9: but picture is muzzy [06:19] I may have messed up bad, hang on [06:19] IcemanV9: The command to restart X is now ctrl + SysRq + k [06:19] nyaa: interesting question! maybe in ~/.bashrc, but I don't recall seeing it there. [06:19] wiseman: standing by... [06:19] oh nm. [06:20] can someone tell me if Ubuntu has software that tracks or pings email address? [06:20] I thought I atom bombed it [06:20] I may be ok [06:20] wiseman: it wouldn't be unheard of with these kinds of programs. [06:20] BRACE FOR IMPACT [06:20] well I restarrted and it still thinks it's a computer [06:21] wiseman: I dig your sense of humor. [06:21] wiseman: Goood. that's good. [06:21] edbian: thx for a tip [06:21] Hi! How can I get the higher transfer rate on MBP 5.1 on wl driver? It only gets 34 mps and is up to 300 in Mac OSx ? [06:21] IcemanV9: NP [06:22] odd [06:22] Can anyone recommend a good channel/server for rfid chat? [06:22] gparted doesn't see any partitions at all now, but testdisk does [06:22] edbian: you always dig my sense of humor [06:22] good to see you again [06:23] hi somewone know a good website to learn programming [06:23] ? [06:23] nyaa: thanks for questions, man dircolors and dircolors -p tells the story [06:23] I might be onto something here now [06:23] ItchyCube: what kind of chat? Technical, political or what? [06:23] padawn. Hmm. [06:23] What kind of programming? [06:23] *padawan [06:24] like java security app just learn programming [06:24] d [06:24] hi [06:24] Hmm. That I wouldn't know. [06:24] i use awesome but want to alternate it once in a while with compiz. how to do that? kill x and run 'compiz' ? [06:24] Somebody else here might be able to help. [06:24] any language that is good! [06:24] ㅋㅋ [06:24] shoot [06:24] ㅋㅋ [06:24] no valid backup discs can be found yet [06:24] colby why u know good web site to learn ? [06:25] shameless plug: for java see mindprod.com a relative, but smart and its a good java site [06:25] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [06:25] every time I connect a camera, f-spot starts. I do not want that. I have gone into "System -> Prefs -> Removable Drives" and unchecked "import digital photographs" but that does not stop f-spot. [06:25] well, what exactly are you trying to make? [06:25] owen1: try compiz --replace & in a terminal [06:25] How can I stop f-spot? [06:25] ㅋㅋㅋ [06:25] ㅋ [06:25] ㅋ [06:25] lim_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:25] looks like I may need to get recovery disks from toshiba [06:26] ctmjr: when i do it i get: Checking for Xgl: not present [06:26] mcrawfor: look in the same directory for preferred apps. [06:26] im trying to make a software so i can understand the basic and after i will think about what i want [06:26] hello, 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] now i just want a good structure of work [06:26] and if I have those, i can just install mint on everything now\ [06:26] what do you think, mlissner [06:26] mb_again thanks a lot =) [06:26] ctmjr: btw, i use two monitors, and nvidia. [06:26] understand the basic? [06:26] as in, you just want to learn basic programming? [06:27] n2diy: none of the "preferred applications" settings seems to apply to cameras [06:27] not just the basic but like from a to z [06:27] wiseman: sounds like a good plan to me. just be forewarned that the stupid recovery disks might not boot in virtualbox [06:27] i never get to z i know its enourmous [06:27] mcrawfor: hmmm.. [06:27] owen1: do you have composite enabled in xorg.conf [06:27] wiseman: (assuming you're interested in that) [06:27] its a recreational thing [06:27] ctmjr: let me see [06:27] eh [06:27] I know, I do the exact same thing. [06:28] I'll probably just continue the dual boot thing [06:28] pianistbaby: launch f-spot ... then import pix from your camera [06:28] W3Schools is a main resource I look at. [06:28] is there a Ubuntu terminal command that i can use to trace email addresses [06:28] maybe even switch to mint full time [06:28] ok, i'll try IcemanV9. [06:29] IcemanV9: f-spot says "no camera detected" 8-( [06:29] wiseman: 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. === hamtest is now known as Meow_cat [06:29] Padawan32: Do you have any language in mind? [06:29] ctmjr: how do you enable compositing in xorg? [06:29] mcrawfor: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] thats the way to do mlissner [06:29] there is no where to click "no" [06:29] pianistbaby: disconnect the camera (leave f-spot running), then reconnect the camera [06:29] f-spot launches and an import dialog starts downloading previews [06:30] I do not use f-spot, i do not want it to launch at all [06:30] i have searched gconf for "f-spot" [06:30] mcrawfor: correction, I select save to disk. [06:31] owen1: try this it will give you a list of options you can try man nvidia-xconfig for composite you would run sudo nvidia-xconfig --composite [06:31] n2diy: we are obviously not talking about the same thing, but thanks anyway [06:31] install gentoo [06:31] MINT [06:32] ctmjr: i'll try it. i am reading this now - http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=77030 [06:32] why would i want to install genpoo? [06:32] gentoo is the best linux...of 2002 [06:33] mcrawfor: 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] no it is not suggesting - it just opens [06:33] there is no "what would you like to do?" dialog [06:33] need driver builder 4 ubuntu [06:33] oldude67: masochistic and bent on compiling everything from source [06:33] mcrawfor: I see, sorry [06:33] owen1: that is a pretty old how too /2006 [06:34] lightningseed, did that once in slackware thats why i now use ubuntu [06:34] n2diy: i believe I found it [06:34] it is apparently, and frustratingly a nautilus setting [06:34] so I got a device that works out of the box on puppy linux, but not ubuntu. Its a MultiTech Multimodem GPRS modem running the ti_usb_3410_5052 chipset.... I used modprobe to load the driver.. still nothing though [06:34] nuking everything, installing mint [06:35] mcrawfor: that would make sense. [06:35] ctmjr: i run this: sudo nvidia-xconfig --composite and compiz --replace and still get: Checking for Xgl: not present. maybe i need to reboot or run the replace command with no X? [06:36] heres a tougne in cheek thought... what if someone wrote a virus for linux... will that ever happen? [06:36] apoleo12, it has [06:36] there are linux viruses out there [06:36] owen1: did you restart X it needs to reload to take effect [06:36] they're just ineffective because linux is still only 1% of the market [06:36] apoleo12: it has already happened, and they are safely sealed away. [06:36] so would I need a scanner? [06:36] wiseman: O rly? [06:36] help pls. how to install sound card.. newbie here i just did a fresh install [06:37] If nothing else, distribution fragmentation would make writing a virus nigh impossible. [06:37] ctmjr: no. so after killing x, can i run compiz --replace instead of running startx? [06:37] Half my software stops working every time I update! [06:37] n2diy: then do I need a scanner? [06:37] can anyone send me a driver builder 4 ubuntu [06:37] ctmjr: btw, how do i know compiz is running? [06:37] spasticteapot: YA RLY [06:38] apoleo12: no, the community is your scanner. [06:38] how?? I dont understand [06:38] apoleo12: the folks that right the software protect it, when a bug is found, you'll get an update notification. [06:39] n2diy: so that's the only "protection"? [06:40] apoleo12: 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 correctly [06:40] driver builder 4 ubuntu [06:40] apoleo12: no, your first line of protection is you, don't mess up your file permissions, and your ok. === evilGUI_ is now known as evilGUI [06:40] n2diy: how do I learn about that? [06:41] owen1: sorry got disconnected (never run compiz --replace when it is already running) just log out and back in to reset X [06:41] apoleo12: start out with a google search for linux virus? [06:41] anybody with MBP 5.1 getting wireless n speeds at all ?

Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [07:15] thanks [07:16] n2diy: huh? [07:16] dave_p: yes, you actually have to type it.

[07:22] 192.168.2.2-254 [07:22] n2diy: It works before, may not work after some update ? [07:22] anything in that range [07:22] windows or the ethernet bridge? [07:22] why do you have a bridge? why not just go router-pc's [07:22] more than 1 windows pc [07:22] because I want ubuntu to firewall [07:23] wizzo50: yes, and that is wha I use grsync for, I mirror this box to my test box once or twice a day.

[07:25] you said it earlier [07:25] frankpanda: can you ssh into the box? [07:25] anything in the range of 192.168.2.2-254 [07:25] on the bridge as well? will it work? [07:25] n2diy:yes [07:26] it should [07:26] if the bridge is just forwarding [07:26] I think it doesn't man [07:26] I will try again [07:26] thanks [07:26] :) [07:26] cc4: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

You could also write a short script to recreate that connection if it drops [08:31] qwyeth: so ssh to a personal server outside our network and open a tunnel?

[08:48] dayofswords:but i have so many files that cant be backed up [08:48] i need to partition the harddrive im guessing without losing the files [08:49] you need some kinda of raid system or someting to have hard drive work together i beileve, idont know a thing about those though [08:49] PSPUbuntu: if you are trying to recover data, don' partition anything, use a live cd to do your recovery. [08:50] n2diy: i mnto trying to recover anything , i just want xp to have more space from the 200gb harddive that ubuntu is running on [08:50] im not* [08:51] jus use gparted using live cd [08:51] nooooooooo i can boot into ubuntu it works fine [08:52] PSPUbuntu: ok, but if your playing with disk partitions, you better have known working backups of your files.

If so exploce gparted. [08:54] grub install..alright, thank you! [08:54] what is the /dev/sda mean? [08:54] PSPUbuntu: 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] ...understand the risks, it's up to you [08:54] where are u bluesea_? [08:55] how do i figure out what my hard drive is called natchil [08:55] explore [08:55] myself: I think there's a dash between grub and install (grub-install) [08:55] myself: /dev/sda would normally be your hardrive [08:55] i come from vn [08:55] and you jose ??

[09:13] PLEASE [09:13] Hi, anyone would be kind enough to help me recover a ubuntu install, while keeping vista bootloader? (I can see the grub files on the partition where I should boot, but after adding that partition to the vista boot loader, it's not lauching grub for some reason) === c is now known as charitwo [09:13] !caps | josephcastle [09:13] josephcastle: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [09:14] josephcastle: What program do you need? [09:14] -z #ubuntu [09:14] TheMusicGuy: you can shrink a partition as long as it has unused space in it. It's recommended to backup partitions before you play with them. 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. [09:15] TheMusicGuy, There are repartitioning utilities that will do this safely, but I don't know them offhand. [09:16] PLEASE [09:16] TheMusicGuy, You may want to look at lvm. It allows you to dynamically adjust partition sizes, once you've got things sorted. [09:16] ayuda por favore... [09:16] can someone help me everytime i start my pc i don't get a graphical logon screen.. why is that.. help pls. [09:17] I know that you need to shrink the filesystem on the partition before resizing the partition itself, but I don't know the details of that.

[09:20] I feel I'm dangerously close to a solution [09:21] There's lots of empty space on my / partition, but not enough for everything in my /home partition...I guess I could backup my vital stuff to /root and then risk resizing using risize2fs and cfdisk. but I'm sure there's some risk in doing something wrong that way. [09:21] *resize2fs [09:23] hey anyone here help me out i am using bareseo DVD, and i cant burn a DVD with it.... it says it has "Cannot Burn DVD Copy protected" [09:23] brasero* [09:27] ah crap...I think I just deleted most of my mp3 archive. [09:27] that's not a good way to begin backing up data... [09:27] TheMusicGuy: it sure makes your backup set a lot smaller ;-) [09:28] What? Still no drag and drop to create shortcuts in Ubuntu Gnome? [09:28] When will that be introduced, in 2109? [09:28] JPeterson: try shift+ctrl+drag [09:28] TheMusicGuy: Oh, thanks :) [09:28] I'm a very leet haxxor now [09:29] technically that creates a symlink, which is a little different than a shortcut, but works for most of the same purposes. [09:30] /boot/grub/menu.lst is no longer being handled automatically, im asked to keep or replace on kernel package manipulation now [09:30] any way to restore the 'automagic' function? [09:32] JPeterson: come to think of it, it works for ALL the same purposes and then some. :D [09:35] lo; i believe my external hdd got damaged...makes some high pitched sounds once in a while like it is failing to read; partially shows up in messages but fails to get assigned a spot (like sdb: sdb1 ) [09:35] i dont know if there is another way to find it and if someone could guide me how to attempt to force mount it, that'd be great [09:35] anybody used Otus for Atheros usb wireless?

[09:41] dandaman, wtf? [09:41] can some on help me install a sis 771/671 chip set on ubuntu [09:41] JPeterson: if it's not in the repos, try google. [09:41] and since the iso requires iso13346 udf file system, the only thing showing up on the iso is the readme telling me that [09:41] dandaman, not possible [09:41] TheMusicGuy: I did search [09:41] not possible? :( [09:41] cant install Windows 7 through linux.. [09:41] michael15838, hi [09:42] do you have any suggestions [09:42] dandaman: no point in doing it either [09:42] i just want to reinstall windows [09:42] and i cant boot up vista [09:42] take out the linux drive, set windows drive as main drive, and try? [09:42] so i cant install windows 7 through windows vista [09:42] 1: rescue files with ubuntu, 2: install windows7 from dvd/usb [09:42] dandaman: you'll have to boot directly from cd/dvd/usb [09:42] but yh, use mount to mount ur windows drive in linux [09:43] l3dx: i did [09:43] what it does is asks me to boot through vista [09:43] it doesnt give me the option to install windows 7 [09:43] any help would be much appreciated [09:43] then you don't boot windows 7 :) [09:43] Acidic32: you can install Win 7 through linux if you're using a VM. [09:43] dandaman, just backup your files, format the windows drive, then reinstall [09:43] That's what I'm in the process of doing right now. [09:43] acidic: trying to avoid that [09:43] TheMusicGuy: yes but he does not want this [09:43] ah. [09:44] he has linux and windows on sperate drives, probably dual-boot [09:44] im sure there is a way to install windows 7 without loading from vista [09:44] * TheMusicGuy reads scrollback [09:44] ive googled a lot though [09:44] dandaman: does the Windows 7 bootup screen comeup, when you insert the disc and restart pc? [09:44] all this talk of windows is getting me down :( [09:44] can someone help me... i have no graphical logon screen everytime i startup my ubuntu [09:44] try booting up a CD it boot befor HD [09:44] as in like the installer? [09:44] Acidic32: no [09:45] then go into bios, and set CDROM as first in boot order [09:45] the windows 7 boot up screen is a screen that gives you the option to boot in vista [09:45] i have been booting from my dvdrom [09:45] oh [09:45] its just the way they built the install [09:45] they want you installing it from inside the OS [09:45] which makes no sense to me [09:45] god i hate microsoft [09:46] i never used windows 7 so i dont know, surely you cannot boot into a OS which does not exist? [09:46] ie blank harddrive [09:46] dandaman: that's not how I experienced my win7 install :) [09:46] l3dx: how'd you do it? [09:46] please enlighten me [09:46] anyone using linux mint with LXDE ??!?!? 0.o [09:46] maybe 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 up [09:47] mmm [09:47] i swear, once i get this fixed i am only going to use windows for gaming [09:47] enlightenment [09:47] dandaman: 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] after 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] the best window manager for linux [09:47] only have a 1 gig drive :( [09:48] dandaman: though, this isn't really a windows7 support channel ;) [09:48] heh [09:48] yh [09:48] i have the iso on a cd thoguh [09:48] so i wont need the usb drive right? [09:48] i got windows on this laptop [09:48] only cuz i need to for work [09:48] :( [09:48] dandaman, google 'iso to usb boot windows' or some shit. bye [09:48] then you should set the dvd-rom as boot device [09:48] need it how? [09:48] Running ubuntu 9.04 and am trying to get kaffeine to work with my tuner. I set scan for channels and it doesn't find anything [09:48] for like word docs and junk? [09:48] dandaman: 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? [09:49] TheMusicGuy: yes [09:49] joey_: is your antenna up in the air? [09:49] that's nuts.

[09:50] didnt know about cussing, ill keep it down [09:50] im going to reboot from cd and ill copy down what the screen says, brb [09:51] Gnea: Why is it better. pico/nano are totally intuitive whereas vi is a pain in the neck/butt, etc [09:51] 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] diddy: that's only if you're new to it. [09:51] diddy: pico/nano are for new users who are used to simplicity. vi is for people who require more versatility, such as programmers. [09:51] diddy: vi is in many ways easier to use after its been learned. [09:51] diddy, vi was written back in the day when you accessed a mainframe over a 300 baud modem. [09:51] vim? [09:52] yeah, vim rocks [09:52] diddy: nano, on the other hand, remains limited even after learning it. [09:52] hey, text editor wars: which editor wins? [09:52] THROW DOWN! [09:52] sn1per: the one that gets the job done. [09:52] emacs ofcourse xD [09:52] lol [09:52] i learned with pico [09:52] emacs is great, but its bloated. [09:52] i learned with joe [09:53] i have been told to switch to vim [09:53] What version of Jaunty would I use for doing install on separate partitions ? [09:53] is there a command to open x config [09:53] I don't even have a favorite editor. I just use whatever works for the moment. [09:53] sn1per: I like vim, but if you're an emacs geek/nerd, then I wouldn't bother [09:53] i am not [09:53] vim is cool [09:53] lol [09:53] The 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] uknow_: which xconfig util do you want? [09:53] oh ok [09:54] vim for coding, nano for quick editing [09:54] video [09:54] :P [09:54] diddy: net tutorials. [09:54] diddy: just google for "vim tutorial" [09:54] can ubuntu use dail up modems?

[10:01] figured :P [10:01] so i boot from CD and i get a screen that says, "choose an os to start or press tab to select a tool" [10:01] Intel Core 2 duo [10:01] i got a Q8200 [10:01] nm fixed [10:01] wonder if that has it [10:02] then it gives me the option to boot from vista(or go into advanced boot options such as safe mode, etc...) [10:02] there's a command you can run to check, but I don't remember it off hand...its kind of lengthy [10:02] yh [10:02] the only tool available is windows memory diagnostic [10:02] prolly cat /proc/cpuinfo [10:02] which doesnt do anything [10:02] :P [10:02] dandaman: k, you should take that question to #windows [10:03] Hi guys.. I think I might have an IRQ conflict that is causing my jaunty to reboot. Anyone care to take a look at my IRQs? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1135055&highlight=freeze&page=55 [10:03] dandaman: that doesn't sound like an intall cd, that sounds like vista recovery.

What password to enter? Password for the account is not suitable. [10:04] ok... [10:04] Greenwell: 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 default [10:05] Kennie`: I get this: [10:05] flags : 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_shadow [10:05] so it has [10:05] Greenwell: 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 temporarily [10:05] Gnea: Thanks so much [10:05] I will try it [10:05] is there an easy way (other then re-installing) to get back to a CLI install, with all the other crap uninstalled? [10:05] barely any actives in windows :\ [10:06] Greenwell: 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' line [10:06] dandaman: give it time. [10:06] help pls.. i have nvidia 7300gt graphic card.. where can i get the driver for my ubuntu.. anyone? [10:06] Gnea: Can you explain what that option will do for the IRQ? [10:06] dandaman: you should try burning a different bootable CD and see what your PC does with it [10:06] mataks: System->Administration->Hardware Drivers [10:06] yeah im downloading vista again [10:06] Greenwell: it re-routes the way the linux kernel handles IRQs [10:07] dandaman: maybe you need to burn it at a slower speed [10:07] Gnea: Does it look from logs that I might indeed have such a conflict? [10:07] Gnea: ok thnx i'll try [10:07] Greenwell: it's possible, worth a shot [10:07] Is using a hard disk image rather than a /dev/sdx device file any faster when using a VM? [10:07] or rather, any slower? [10:07] bash: ./install-nwn.sh: Permission denied [10:07] <- how do i fix? [10:08] peeps: chmod +x install-nwn.sh to make it executable. [10:08] sudo?

[10:09] i GOT A REALLY BIG problem [10:09] what is it? [10:09] I changed my Windows Partition to Linux Swap and cant change it back to NTFS [10:09] omg [10:09] why not? [10:09] I tried GParted [10:10] But it doesn't show NTFS in the "Format to" options [10:10] hi, is it a good way; on an ubuntu server, to add a new group admin, set my user to this group and set with visudo the group admin to: %admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:AL ? [10:10] is there a solution for the following bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/361615 [10:10] anish: is the swap device in use, and do you have permissions to access it? [10:10] And if I format, it'll be gone... [10:10] anyone know of a way to strip all the packages from kubunut leaving only a basic command line system with network support? [10:10] whats unshield? [10:10] Anyone has any idea how I can fix my packages after upgrading to 9.04 ? I get a lot of error and unmet dependencies .. [10:10] Its not in use and I dont know if I have permission to acess it [10:10] blubbar: nopasswd is scary imo [10:10] Im on sudo in Xubuntu right now [10:10] Im dual booting it [10:11] whats unshield?

[10:11] I tried to get my Flash Drive to become a Linux Swap and instead turned my Windows Partition into a Linux swap [10:11] mataks: restart your machine? sudo reboot should do [10:11] CptnAwesome: if you uninstall the X windowing system, all X programs will probably be uninstalled as well. that's my best guess.

[10:13] anish: well first of all, using a flash drive as a swap device is a really good way to wear down your flash drive really fast. [10:13] The Music Guy: ouch... so I shouldn't [10:14] that's true of all flash-based storage devices. [10:14] Gnea: I tired fdisk /dev/sda1 and it says unable to open [10:14] anish: fdisk /dev/sda [10:14] anish: right, sda1 is a partition, sda is the hard disk itself [10:14] /dev/sda1 is a partition [10:14] Anish: tried sudo fdisk? [10:14] Oh ops no [10:15] anish: from there you can change the partition TYPE back to 7 [10:15] cfdisk is somewhat more intuitive if you're new to paritioning [10:15] OK How? [10:15] Kennie`: ah maybe the hosting company changed it, could be .. thanks man!

[10:17] ortsvorsteher: are you following a guide on this? [10:17] The number of cylinders in this disk is set to 28657. There is nothing wrong with that but this is larger than 1024, and could in certain setups cause problems with software that runs at boot time (e.g. Old versions of LILO) or booting and partitioning software )e.g. DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK [10:17] anish: irrelevent. [10:17] Gnea: yes. but i am not sure, that this will not destroy any data on my pc [10:18] anish: look for the option to show the partitions, then find the option to change the partition type for the partition you need to change it on [10:18] when I try to set permissions it errors /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/ Operation not permitted [10:18] ortsvorsteher: what the url? [10:18] chmod a+rwx /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/ [10:18] Its t [10:19] would apt-get remove xorg be enough to ditch the x system and any programs that depend on it? [10:19] Is this correct, Linux newbie [10:19] LexLuth0r: you have to run it through sudo [10:19] Gnea: you can read and understand german? :) http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Live-USB_-_persistente_Installation#Formatierung [10:19] what would I type? [10:19] help pls.. i just activate the driver for my video card. . now how can i set it to high resolution? [10:19] When I type t however, it only gives me option to turn it into FAT 12, XENIX root, XENIX user or FAT 16 <32M [10:19] Thats, 1 , 2, 3, or 4 [10:20] ortsvorsteher: I can!

[10:22] my menus are too big, ortsvorsteher, and I can't see the bottom part of the menus [10:22] Does anyone know if there's any real benefit to using a real hard drive partition instead of a disk image when using a VM? [10:22] I.e. is it any faster? [10:22] ortsvorsteher: I think you want /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1 [10:22] how bloody hard can it be to set permissions to folder [10:22] TheMusicGuy: there can be, however for most home users, no [10:23] Gnea: the documentation wants to make an boot dir on the stick. so i think i must give him /dev/sda1 where my /boot is... [10:23] LexLuth0r: I told you, you need to use it with sudo. just run it like this: sudo chmod yada yada [10:23] ok...then I guess there's no real need for me to resize my /home partition. [10:23] Let me try it [10:23] TheMusicGuy: in most senarios the virtual file system on a file will be faster [10:23] cooper77z: try system, system settings and change your screen resolution. which one is set now? [10:23] ortsvorsteher: maybe i'm wrong? [10:23] Really? o_O [10:23] someone can help me compile that game please ? [10:24] TheMusicGuy: yes, as the OS manages the indexs/inodes in ram, rather than on the actual spingles [10:24] Gnea: im not sure, i thin it will make a copy of my local /boot. thats why im asking here ... [10:24] ortsvorsteher: nope, I'm right. /dev/sda should be the install_device [10:24] ikonia: I'm trying to install Win 7 beta in a VM [10:24] ortsvorsteher: man grub-install [10:24] TheMusicGuy: (for home use, enterprise level stuff won't be as quick) [10:24] ikonia: I hear it works pretty well [10:24] TheMusicGuy: I'm sure it will [10:24] 1024x768 [10:24] i try Gnea [10:25] ikonia: do you know where I can get a jumpstart with kvm?

We do also have #ubuntu-server though [10:51] koltroll: so the standard troubleshooting routine would involve reading dmesg and iwconfig ... if you can't interpret that, you might paste it to pastebin to let us have a look [10:51] BiggBoss: what does ls /usr/bin | grep java say? === [1]stillRise is now known as stillRise [10:52] themusicguy, that didn't help with menu size, but fonts are smaller [10:52] javac, javadoc, javah, javap [10:52] stefg, yes I've looking through dmesg like a crazy one.

[11:15] it says me sun-java6-jsk is alredy on is most recent version [11:16] what is sinaptic? [11:16] pisse: do such mount options exist? I don't believe so. How is the uploading happening scp? [11:16] stefg but if i delite it and overwrite the free space after that all blocks are delited [11:16] Johny: synaptic, not sinaptic [11:16] philipp__: right [11:16] TheMusicGuy, my bad.. maybe [11:16] what is it? [11:16] BiggBoss, it's an package installer [11:16] jrib: I googled it here http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/mount-shared-folder-with-fstab-need-help-519906/page2.html but he's not using fstab =/ [11:17] oh, im seeing it [11:17] BiggBoss: the main graphical package manager for Ubuntu [11:17] jrib: yes, scp only for now.. gonna add ftp though [11:17] ye, i tried, but i cannot launch it [11:17] i tried to follow a guide, but it says me to go system/adminsitration/... [11:17] and i dont see such folders [11:17] BiggBoss, then compile jdk urself [11:17] BiggBoss: those aren't folders. those are options from the gnome menu. [11:18] stefg and to do that i have to replace of=/file/to/nuk ? [11:18] So how would I change the icon of Chatzilla to the CZ icon? [11:18] i have synaptic here [11:18] I'm trying to login to a remote site via ssh certificates, and I ran ssh-agent, then ssh-add to the private keyfile.. the remote server is already setup for the certificate.. but when I try ssh remotehost it is asking me for a password, and passwords are disabled on the remote host so I can't authenticate... why isn't ssh using the certificate to login? [11:18] how can i launch it? [11:18] click the icon, or type gksudo synaptic [11:19] BiggBoss, then search for what package ur asking and try to install [11:19] BiggBoss, it have to work [11:19] pisse: 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" option [11:19] in « man mount » that you need to enable [11:19] philipp__: http://lambda-diode.com/software/wipe [11:20] i alredy downloaded jdk for linux x64 [11:20] a .bin file [11:20] but i cannot execute it [11:20] hi [11:20] BiggBoss: why are you not using the repositories? [11:20] BiggBoss: from the sun website you mean? [11:20] yes [11:20] BiggBoss, why is that? [11:20] BiggBoss: Don't they have instructions there for that? [11:20] i followed [11:20] but i cannot install it [11:20] BiggBoss: sun-java6-jdk is in the repositories. Use synaptic [11:21] hi, how can i use an external usb cardreader under jaunty? [11:21] BiggBoss: that installer does not use Ubuntu's package management system. [11:21] BiggBoss, pastebin da error! :) [11:21] is on spanish :/ [11:21] !who | BiggBoss [11:21] BiggBoss: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [11:21] BiggBoss, oh k then keep it xD [11:21] 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 all [11:22] BiggBoss: the .bin from Sun's website its an executable binary. You have to give it executable permissions. [11:22] how I solve that? [11:22] i did with chmod +x [11:22] TheMusicGuy* [11:22] strange.. [11:22] BiggBoss: you should be using synaptic, not the .bin... [11:22] Jesus so many nicks that looks the same. Who was I talked to just some minutes ago? [11:22] BiggBoss: yes, then go the directory that contains it and then type ./whateveritis.bin [11:22] Edico_, gotta give way more info than that [11:22] um uploading synaptic to the machine [11:22] let me see how can i launch it [11:22] how can I take ownership of an internal harddrive so I can assign it any mountpoint I want? [11:23] jrib: 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] BiggBoss: system -> administration -> synaptic [11:23] BiggBoss: uploading synaptic to the machine? what? [11:23] my ubuntu is on a dedicated machine [11:23] stefg, ah there you are. Hey; guess who's back on wlan. [11:23] ubuntu 8.10 server [11:23] durt_, how can I see all the text, that was writen? There is a log somewhere? [11:23] oh lol [11:23] BiggBoss: then just use apt-get. sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk [11:23] BiggBoss: oh, so you don't have graphical access? [11:24] no, i dont [11:24] Edico_, /var/log [11:24] only putty [11:24] stefg, Got into bios, and simply found "Wlan : disabled".. changed it to enabled and voliá. [11:24] BiggBoss: and please address who you are speaking to [11:24] BiggBoss: in that case, synaptic is no use to you. [11:24] jrib thats what i use, but didnt use [11:24] BiggBoss: "but didn't use"? What do you mean? [11:24] koltroll: :-) ... something told me that before ... [11:24] jrib soz, but didnt work* [11:24] BiggBoss: pastebin the error [11:24] durt_, which one of them? [11:25] Edico_, syslog or messages or is there a log specific for cups? [11:25] pisse: do you understand what umask is? You'll have to change the user's umask "globally" whereas ACLs you can specify for just that directory [11:25] BiggBoss: the closest thing to synaptic if you only have command line access is aptitude [11:25] durt_, yes I have a log fo cups [11:26] but if you know the exact packages you want, then you can just use apt-get [11:26] ciao [11:26] jrib: 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] BiggBoss: otherwise, run aptitude and type / to start searching for packages by name. [11:26] stefg, 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] I used eeebuntu first, and that gave me some neat eeepc specific apps. [11:26] can someone help me install a sound card driver.. i don't have a sound.... . i have 0:05.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio (rev a2) [11:26] pisse: when your user creates a new file umask determines what permissions it has by default [11:27] jrib http://pastebin.com/d3fd3868c [11:27] Perhaps I don't need them, perhaps they are just overkill. who knows. Not me. [11:27] BiggBoss: sun-java6-jdk is already installed then. Why do you say it didn't work? [11:27] are you only englishes?

Where can I change the umask then? :) [11:28] thank you ubottu [11:28] haha [11:28] and now jrib?

Btw, ill paste you what says, and you will can tell me if its jdk [11:38] TheMusicGuy: trust me, once you lose important data the first time you will invest in one [11:38] demolit, edit or create /etc/resolv.conf and restart networking [11:38] durt, look like that is my problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1135198 [11:38] durt: im using the live cd thing [11:38] jrib: http://pastebin.com/d7adb3d1 === ben is now known as Guest24450 [11:38] hi, is there a MSN client that can make "video conversation" with both audio and video ?????

And to me it seems to goal is to provide a kernel with support for the main hardware in some different netbooks. [11:42] durt: im using the "graphical" installer interface [11:42] BiggBoss: right now you are using icedtea, the open source one [11:42] koltroll: you can have the stock and array kernel installed side by side... so just check which one runs better [11:43] demolit, can you Ctrl-Alt-F1 to a term? [11:43] yea I suppose. Tho I'm probably to non-techy to understand which one actually runs the better. :) [11:43] jrib: http://pastebin.com/d18e06150 [11:43] BiggBoss: install sun-java6-jre too [11:43] demolit, or does the graphical interface allow you to specify dns? [11:43] koltroll: a custom tailored kernel has advantages in speed and size. how much of that theory applies to everyday work is another question [11:43] It says partion could not be unmounted cdrom. I dont have a cdrom drive [11:43] partition* [11:44] jrib: with sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre ?

[11:44] mefached, install the unr package [11:44] TheMusicGuy: how about the drive you upgraded from?

Thats very helpful. === censushq is now known as nikolatesla [12:02] "you can recover the root password if you never set one!" [12:02] yay [12:02] how do [12:02] where can i get a virtualbox with usb support [12:02] jrib: . .. java-6-openjdk .java-6-openjdk.jinfo [12:02] !enter | Hajuu [12:02] Hajuu: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [12:02] Hajuu: I have no idea what you are actually trying to get help with. [12:03] bazhang: strange thing happens when I wanna close shiretoko. There is sound if I Wanna save or quit tabs... How can I disable this sound? [12:03] the ose virtualbox doesnt have usb [12:03] does a pb dl on miro can be read by any players and generally treated like an independant file? be burned an such? [12:03] Sj4lut: Just right click on the old icon, click properties and put firefox-3.5 %u as command [12:03] or reuploaded into other tracker? [12:03] jrib: usually helps if you read the question, innit. === sharperguy2 is now known as sharperguy [12:03] Hajuu: If you've set a root password that's against the advice and suggested policy in ubuntu... please read the !root factoid before moaning [12:03] hey, what apps for ubuntu would you recommend to turn it into a media center? [12:03] Hajuu, 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] !root | Hajuu [12:03] Hajuu: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [12:03] Wow, is it? I definately shouldnt secure my root, when using it for something. [12:03] Hajuu: hard to find if you just keep rambling on [12:03] ahahaha [12:04] best ubottu answer ever [12:04] Hajuu, you could chroot your install from a live system though [12:04] acke, check out the mythbuntu package [12:04] acke: try xmbc [12:04] durt, and if i dont want to use myth? [12:05] "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] Thanks so much for your help. [12:05] i dont find mythubuntu to be as user/install-friendly as i would want.. :P [12:05] BiggBoss: 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 installed [12:05] acke, then I don't know, specify that in your question next time. [12:05] acke: checkup http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/12/09/transform-ubuntu-into-a-media-center-with-xbmc/ [12:05] Hajuu: Have you set a root password? [12:06] Yes, let me reitterate the question. [12:06] jrib: what can i do then to get jdk? unstall and make a fress install? [12:06] durt, sry thanks alot.. [12:06] Hey, 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] Havent even used it, and the last time I did it was all working perfectly. [12:06] how do i download or purchase a virtualbox with usb support [12:06] ose does not have usb support [12:06] nikolatesla, from the virtual box site [12:06] Hajuu: what VM? [12:07] is there a cost bazhang? [12:07] jrib: Hm, do you mean what am I using to run it? VMware [12:07] nikolatesla, no it's free (as in cost) [12:07] nikolatesla: no, just the freedom to see the source code [12:07] thor: i am in the dc arrea [12:07] jrib so how is that different than ose [12:07] it is closed source? [12:07] nikolatesla, usb support [12:07] nikolatesla: the usb support is [12:08] ok [12:08] i am gonna try again to install xp with virtualbox [12:08] is it better to use an install cd or iso [12:08] Hajuu: you should be able to boot from a live cd in the vm, mount the ubuntu install, chroot, and use passwd [12:08] i got the xp install cabs down to 127mb with nlite [12:08] hi, i have probleme with firefox, it always start in off line mode.. [12:08] nikolatesla, the cd (though both will work) [12:09] jrib: right. Thanks. See that wasnt so hard once we got through all the 'YOU DID WHAT TO ROOT?' [12:09] pad: this happened to me after kenerl upgrade [12:09] thanks baz [12:09] why can't iso 's be in the form of bz2 or tar.gz or so ( and therefore reduce the download length) [12:09] Hajuu: root isn't necessary at all, use sudo :) [12:09] pad: try using grub to boot to an earlier kernel [12:09] ... You don't even know what i'm doing. [12:10] Hajuu: I know it isn't necessary [12:10] But thanks for the advice! [12:10] lol [12:10] Sure, i'm definately not a developer. [12:10] hah-joo [12:10] I'll use sudo, that will be way easier.. [12:10] Hajuu: it's your machine though, I don't care what you do with it. Just giving you advice like you said [12:10] Good advice. Cheers. [12:10] Hajuu: Do you know about « sudo -i »? [12:10] I do indeed. [12:10] how can i install xp on the same drive partition as ubuntu [12:10] there is an boot cd "grub boot cd" [12:11] i dont want to boot to xp, i just wanna run in virtualbox [12:11] BiggBoss: let's purge these packages and start over, yeah. sudo aptitude purge sun-java6-jre sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jdk, then reinstall them [12:11] hi guys [12:11] Anyway, 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 network [12:11] nikolatesla, virtualbox will have a file of X GB in size that will exist on top of your ubuntu install [12:11] !hi | tafadzwa [12:11] tafadzwa: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [12:12] otay thanks baz [12:12] !ubottu [12:12] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [12:12] Hajuu: probably because you aren't using sudo! (no idea) [12:12] Hi! I am struggling with Deluge - it won|t start. Any suggestions? [12:12] I need to navigate to synaptic, or some other application that will give me back access to Ubuntu panel [12:12] And by Deluge I mean the bittorrent client. [12:12] jrib: Smart arse :P [12:12] <3 [12:12] Hajuu, dis you change the keyboard mapping in between your uses of the VM? [12:12] Hajuu, 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] i am gonna get up enogh courage this weekend to defeat the whole purpose of ubuntu and install virtual xp on my netbook [12:13] henrik_, start it in a terminal and see if there's any error messages [12:13] kakashi_: did that work out? [12:13] Is there a way to open up the ubuntu menu from a text file [12:13] jrib: k, unistalled. now run sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre and sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk to install? [12:13] it is the only way to get wordperfect support or support for my auto diagnostic code reader [12:13] durt: been there, done that. It comes up blank. [12:13] dabj01: heh how could that just corrupt the passwords of a VM? [12:13] seems very unlikely [12:13] Hajuu: so it's true! [12:13] jrib, kind of, not completely, I am still not able to install eclipse, emacs etc. [12:13] jrib, it says broken dependencies [12:13] BiggBoss: you can do it all at once and I'm fairly certain sun-java6-jdk pulls in the others, but do: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre [12:14] kakashi_: can you pastebin the current information? [12:14] does anyone knwo how to open up the Ubuntu terminal from a text file [12:14] Weird thing though, is that when I type "deluge -u console" it opens [12:14] like cmd in windows [12:14] jrib, you mean sources and broken status ? [12:14] tafadzwa: what do you mean exactly? « gnome-terminal »? is that what you want [12:14] yeah [12:14] So there's obviously a problem with the GTK version of Deluge. [12:14] kakashi_: yeah [12:14] tafadzwa: gnome-terminal is the executable of the default terminal emulator [12:15] I dont have access to it right now [12:15] for some reason I dont have the ubuntu panel [12:15] tafadzwa, does alt-f2 bring up the run dialog? [12:15] gnome-terminal == bash ?? is that true [12:15] I tried alt-f2 [12:15] Padlpmao: no [12:15] I have been on google [12:15] is there a keyboard shortuct to get a terminal window not in a full screen [12:15] jrib: k, i ran the command, now? [12:16] jrib: that worked perfectly, thanks. [12:16] nikolatesla: you can set one in system -> preferences -> keyboard shortcuts [12:16] Padlpmao: bash run inside the terminal emulator like many other terminal programs [12:16] Hajuu: no problem [12:16] I was thiniing of opening the ubuntugnome terminal from a text file [12:16] BiggBoss: ls -a /usr/lib/jvm/ again [12:16] tafadzwa: how?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [12:20] I haven't managed to find an up-to-date guide for installing Jaunty on a LVM. The installation guide for the alternative CD does not mention it. Anyone have any links? [12:20] Remm : Please do ask [12:20] hey is there a way to flush the dhcp settings like ipconfig release/renew in dos ? using terminal ?

Was using the wrong user ID (Operator01 instead of Operator-01) [12:25] Still pretty weird, but meh easilly fixed [12:25] I'm doing some kernel hacking and my machine is x86/i386. but why isn't there an entry.S file in arch/i386/kernel/ or arch/x86/kernel/ ? there are for ia64, mips etc. [12:25] Hej 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? [12:25] Hajuu: ha! I was right! [12:25] thanks again, dont assume everyones a retard that comes here asking for help. [12:26] or well, a complete retard anyway... [12:26] in dos I just type /ipconfig release, and the 10 secs later /ipconfig renew is there a similar command from terminal ?

[12:34] Can i aggregate uplinks in ubuntu 9.04? Wireless plus Ethernet, they are both connected to the same router [12:34] Depends on your setup. But in general, xorg.conf [12:35] any one here work for the us dod ? [12:35] what graphics card and drivers do you have [12:35] if i delete everything in in the line modes in the screen section of xorg.conf and restart, then i get the old one again and nothing changed [12:35] gurugeek, you need to install a routing daemon, lots in the repos. [12:35] if you use the official nvidia ones, the easiest solution is nvidia-settings [12:35] i have a nvidia yes [12:35] mocker3: /etc/X11/xorg.conf ... Section "Screen" or Section "Monitor" [12:35] hi, i need a minimal mail server for sending mails from my webapp. any recommendations?

[12:36] whats that Lattyware [12:36] It's a piece of software that comes with the official nvidia drivers [12:36] i have systems-preferences-change resolution [12:37] very nice for configuring. Do sudo nvidia-settings and see if you have it installed [12:37] okay one moment [12:37] Personally, I use it mainly as it makes setting up dual monitors far easier. [12:37] Hi. I've got denyhosts running. For some reason I can't explain it keeps blocking my office IP without me doing any bad ssh logins first. [12:37] Does denyhosts do any logging of its own that will explain why it blocks this IP ? [12:37] disconnect [12:38] Where can I browse the packages shipped with Ubuntu 9.04? [12:38] Bonaparte, packages.ubuntu.com [12:39] hi, guys [12:40] how can I extend my taskbar to my second monitor? [12:40] using gnome [12:40] anybody know wine? [12:40] Xanthomryr: you can't extend it, but you can created a new one and drag it while holding ALT [12:41] Xanthomryr: takes a little "mouse wiggling" to actually get it to move [12:41] whistleboy, ask your question, then you'll know :) [12:41] yeah, I don't know why they changed the behaviour so you have to hold alt [12:41] nice Lattyware [12:41] durt, thanks [12:41] and didn't document it anywhere obvious [12:41] dabj01, okay I will check it out, thx [12:41] mocker3: Yeah, It's useful.

I am linux newbie [12:42] if i only had known this prog [12:42] mocker3: It's very useful. Shame it's only for nvidia cards.

[12:43] Lattyware, i have a lot of resolutions now to chose [12:43] Sixer_, that is not helpful; please do NOT do that [12:43] but cant get higher than 1280x800 [12:43] can i go higher? [12:43] mocker3: In which case, I'd presume that's the highest resolution your monitor or graphics card can handle. [12:44] i would say the monitor can handle [12:44] unless you know better [12:44] mocker: wot OS u got? [12:44] its a lap [12:44] OS ? [12:44] whitesiiide: Please use proper English. [12:44] i have linux ubuntu [12:44] operating system [12:44] whitesiiide: And this is #ubuntu, one would presume the answer would be obvious there. [12:44] yes ;) [12:45] can u gt linux drivers for ur graphics card? [12:45] if I wanted to be my own mail server what should I install [12:45] * dabj01 smiles at the wall. [12:45] i think what whitesiiide is trying to say is WHAT VERSION OF UBUNTU DO YOU HAVE? [12:45] feisty fawn [12:45] !mail [12:45] mail is another medium to communicate. Ubuntu mailinglists can be found at http://lists.ubuntu.com [12:45] !ur | whitesiiide [12:45] whitesiiide: U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' or 'Ur' are words in the English language. Nor are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'Ne1' or 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information. [12:45] its a bit outdated [12:45] mocker3: Are you sure the screen can handle a higher resolution? [12:45] ugg [12:45] does someone know the command for updating graphic card ? [12:46] Can someone point me in the direction of a resource, IRC room or similar that would be able to help me. My google-foo isn't working out. My system has been spontaneously locking up since 8.10 came out and I believe I've isolated ath9k drivers for my wireless as the cause. I don't know where to find a solution. [12:46] !smtp [12:46] Ubuntu supports the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and provides mail server software of many kinds. You can install a basic email handling configuration with the "Mail server" task during installation, or with the "tasksel" command.

Sure it's native resolution isn't 1280x800? [12:46] or jst search google for them and install manually [12:47] i am sceptical that i can put it higher on that monitor [12:47] but i want to have a try [12:47] in windows i cant get higher [12:47] mocker3: crt? [12:47] crt? [12:47] cathode ray tube [12:47] Then that's your problem. You won't get higher than the native resolution. [12:47] does ur monitor support any higher? [12:47] what the hell xD [12:47] whitesiiide: It is always preferable to use a package manager whenever possible. [12:47] old big glass non-flat non-lcd stuff [12:47] mocker3: Flat screen or old style [12:47] CRT is old style [12:47] laptop [12:47] lcd [12:47] flat screen [12:48] yes [12:48] Yeah, you won't get any higher then. [12:48] ok [12:48] mocker3: 14" screen? manufacturers specs will mention native resolution, which you can't exceed [12:48] check the manual [12:48] thanx guys, I was able to install the desktop using apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [12:48] he has 1.6 ratio, widescreen === |404NotFound| is now known as error404notfound [12:50] apt-get install nvidia [12:50] couldnt find package nvidia [12:50] mocker3: most likely your screen is 1280x800 - just make sure you've got sub threshold pixel rendering enabled [12:50] hello all [12:50] packages: nvidia-settings nvidia-kernel-common [12:50] does anybody know 'wine' abit? [12:50] mocker3: If you have nvidia-settings installed you will already have the drivers. [12:51] mocker3: And the package manager will keep them up-to-date automatically [12:51] ok [12:51] i've been fiddling with automatix, can't get it to work on 9.04, so tried ultramatix still nada [12:51] mocker3: so I wouldn't worry about it [12:51] whitesiiide, just ask your question [12:51] cheese durt. [12:51] CopyWriter: Unless it's changed Automatix was horrible in the past. [12:51] whitesiiide: from what i've heard wine is a large project with a lot of followers/support and probably has their own support system [12:52] !wine [12:52] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [12:52] just make sure you've got sub threshold pixel rendering enabled [12:52] also #winehq [12:52] how to check that frogzoo ? [12:52] CopyWriter: Also, a quick search says that neither of those two work with 9.04. [12:52] Guys, 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..

[12:53] can you recommend something Lattyware [12:53] Lattyware: I heard about chkconfig [12:53] whitesiiide, search in the .wine dir for the .exe or in applications-> other [12:53] already tried [12:54] pisecx: I'm no expert on the matter, but the system behind services are init.d or rc.d depending on the distro. [12:54] CopyWriter: I can try, what do you want? [12:54] Lattyware: ok, will investigate it, thanks [12:54] Can someone point me in the direction of a resource, IRC room or similar that would be able to help me? My google-foo isn't working out. My system has been spontaneously locking up since 8.10 came out and I believe I've isolated ath9k drivers for my wireless as the cause. I don't know where to find a solution. (Just reposting once in case) [12:54] frogzoo, is that a kind of subpixel order? [12:55] i dont have appearance-> fonts i just have fonts [12:55] and there i can change subpixel order [12:55] is that what you mean? [12:55] i had been using aero theme with a mac layout for the aperence but now when i try to get back to the old times with human theme, it says that The theme will not look as intended because the required GTK+ theme engine "ubuntulooks" is not installed. how do i fix this? please help [12:55] mocker3: don't change the order - just see that sub pixel rendering is enabled [12:55] there is no word about it [12:55] datta sudo apt-get install ubuntulooks [12:56] smoothing [12:56] mocker3: yeah, smoothing = rendering [12:56] fine [12:56] ok [12:56] i change now from grayscale [12:56] CopyWriter: As an alternative to automatix or whatever, the medibuntu repository will do a lot of what you want http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medibuntu [12:56] to subpixel (LCD) [12:56] oldude67 is says E: Couldn't find package ubuntulooks [12:57] mocker3: should be a marked difference [12:57] do i have to restart?

[12:59] how should i get them back? [12:59] dabj01, the only reason to restart is a kernel upgrade. [13:00] durt: has resolved other issues for me many times [13:01] hi #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. I did this by trying to install firefox 3.5 and then failing and then removing stuff and then I tried ereinstalling ff3 with apt-get and I had these problems. [13:01] datta: gnome-themes-ubuntu package? [13:01] oh no if i restart i get the old resolution again [13:01] the problem is that my panels crash when i boot up my system and i thought that changing the theme might fix that [13:02] datta: Not sure to be honest, it's bound to be in one of the themes packages. Do a search in synaptic and find it [13:02] i now pressed the "write to xorg.conf" in nividia settings menue [13:02] but i got an error [13:02] ERROR: Unable to determine valid vertical refresh ranges for display device [13:02] 'Sharp' (GPU: GeForce Go 7600)!

[13:02] Ubuntu supports the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and provides mail server software of many kinds.

[14:12] mycosys: 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 fine [14:12] mm 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] that would end up being a recursive copy i would think [14:12] re [14:13] unfortunately the target drive is not infinitely large [14:13] mycosys: well, /dev, /sys, /proc /tmp and probably /media don't need to be copied [14:14] mycosys: 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 recursive [14:15] mycosys: I migrated my system to a bigger drive a year or so ago and it worked [14:15] sammyF, xarg -0 implies that input coming in is null-terminated - but in both of your cases, they aren't [14:16] ty :) [14:16] sammyF, also, rsync has the ability to read from a file containing options directly [14:16] unop: that's what I thought, which is why I tried it by replaceing \n with \0 (or \d000 at one point) [14:17] unop: oops. didn't know about THAT. back to the man page then [14:17] 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] sammyF, but sed's buffer space is newline delimited .. so any operations within sed have no concept of the newline [14:17] What 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? [14:17] sam_ use the synaptic package manager [14:17] ssh me@84.179.92.124 [14:18] skull is everything i'll every need software-wise on synaptic? [14:18] use synaptic sam_ eh [14:18] unop: ah! that explains why it didn't work at all! thanks a lot. I'll re-read the manpage (I must confess I stopped midway, around the filter part) [14:18] sam_ ya more or less, and if u cant find it in there u can always get the source code and compile it [14:18] sam_: there are many ways, just use the way that you like [14:18] ubuntians, I found HFS (http file server) exe which is used by myfriend in windows for file sharing in internet. Its size is nearly 500 KB. Is any front end like this in ubuntu? [14:19] Padhu you can use SMB, FTP and SSH [14:20] Hej 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] sam_: 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" [14:21] sergeykish: on the fly its works. Is it possible in ubuntu? [14:22] this ubuntu is taking a bit to get used to [14:22] chris-dowle, but its worth it trust me [14:22] Thanks sammyF [14:22] chris-dowle: in what way? (and what skullbox said;) [14:23] Padhu: As I understand you want share files, it is possible on Ubuntu [14:23] well, i would compile a system using LFS, dont mind me, im just ranting [14:23] i pressed alt+f2 and gdm came up xD [14:25] where is my console mouse [14:25] chris-dowle, there is no mouse in console [14:25] sergeykish: I understand that. I am able to do it. but i am talking about new one. like these type of problems, most of my friends stick with windows with viruses ( almost :-p) [14:25] argh [14:26] chris-dowle, console is a command line, you dont need a mouse in there [14:26] skullbox: never heard of gpm? [14:26] thats the name [14:26] thanks [14:26] Padhu: sorry, I don't understand [14:27] ztw4726, why on earth would u need it lol [14:27] copy and paste === Without[IDLE] is now known as Without [14:27] skullbox: i don't need it. chris-dowle needs it.

[14:38] doesnt mean itll work though [14:38] skullbox tried that, but virtual box sees it as an unrecognized device [14:38] how do you check how much space has been used on a partition? [14:39] cxan [14:39] Gamma-X, from a terminal type df [14:39] Joe__, its prolly not supported then [14:39] can sm1 remote desktop me [14:39] mrwes, thanksa lot [14:39] aaronvarghese_: okay I will [14:39] Gamma-X, or df -h (human readable) [14:39] aaronorosen, why would u want someone to remote u.....

[14:43] mazda01, you can install mutt to read system mail [14:43] heh frogzoo1 [14:43] Joe__, i wouldnt listen to alot of ppl in here, they really dont know what ur talking about. its best to check the forums and google the idea first to see if there is any relevant discussion about it [14:43] binarymutant: i do it for my user profile [14:43] is there any way to find out why an interface (eth0:1 in this case) wasn't brought up at boot when it's set to auto in /etc/network/interfaces?

I have a class that irritatingly uses activeX (need the webcam for it), which is the only reason I was trying virtualbox [14:44] shake: what kind of server?

[14:49] Joe__, if its absolutelly necissary grab a copy of the win7 RC and make a small partition for it [14:49] Joe__, same with MS remote Desktop -- requires active X, so I have to use Windows for that [14:49] its free lol [14:49] Krag: then you can choose in the mixer which soundcard is used [14:49] ztw4726: I've got a sort of KVM (it's a VPS virtual machine) and I can see more than that on the console, what console is that? [14:49] skullbox, that's exactly what I did, 'cept I used VB [14:49] anyone tell me what command to enter in the cli to read my cli mail? [14:49] ssh says that I have mail [14:50] skullbox I'm not dualbooting, that would defeat the purpose in trying to get it to work on my machine, so I don't have to shutdown what I'm working on [14:50] I have a dell ubuntu mini 9 I want to upgrade to 9.04. Would it be safe to use "upgrade-manager-d"? [14:50] JediMaster: don't know. must be KVM specific. [14:50] mazda01, install the mailutils d00d -- come on :) [14:50] cydell, as a rule of too many broken upgrades I alwsys dl and install fresh [14:50] my problem iceroot is that i am a windows user, but i'm not a idiot, i have done what you said but it does seem to work [14:50] ztw4726: hmm, yeah could be an emulated serial console [14:51] mrwes: ok, once I install the mailutils, what command do I enter to read my mail from the cli. [14:51] Joe__, you could install Win7 RC in a virtual box and then you don't have to shutdown or reboot to use it [14:51] mazda01, MAIL [14:51] sigh... [14:51] heh [14:51] mrwes except virtualbox doesn't recognize webcams, which was the first thing I asked about [14:51] Islington I was just asking because the dell ubuntu has different repo [14:51] Joe__, ahh..sorry I missed that point :( [14:52] repo's [14:52] JediMaster: all KVM switches i had to do with could only be controlled with the keyboard of the same machine. not remote. [14:52] ztw4726: this is a virtual machine, a VPS so it's not a real KVM [14:52] mrwes think I'm just hosed and will have to keep using the wife's computer... good thing I haven't sucessfully converted her yet [14:52] ztw4726: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KVM_switch#Remote_KVM_devices [14:52] Boohbah: okay [14:53] cydell, I dont believe the official dell repos will update to a newer version, get the ubu netbook remix if you want to update [14:53] JediMaster: Virtuozzo, OpenVZ, Xen ? [14:53] Boohbah: vps.net, they use Xen [14:53] cydell, support problems is the official reason I thing [14:53] *think [14:53] Joe__, the OSE version doesn't support web cams? [14:53] ok thanks thats what I was trying to figure out without trying it and messing everything up lol... thanks [14:54] mrwes nope, apparently USB 2.0 cams don't work [14:54] JediMaster: ahh yes, the Xen remote console is a standard SSH connection to the dom0, wherein you may enter your domu [14:54] hrmm [14:55] I'm confused about how to get my CD drive working.

DONT DO THAT ANYONE!!!! [15:04] mazda01, sudo apt-get install dontzap [15:04] i beleive rm -rf /* is more harmful [15:04] mazda01, sudo dontzap --disable [15:05] jedimaster: you there?

[15:06] Islington: do I have to run that sudo dontzap --disable for every session or just run it once? [15:06] mazda01, just once [15:07] Trijntje: typically when X freezes, it doesn't even listen to ctrl+alt+backspace... [15:07] anyone know how to make ubuntu desktop a 3d cube?

[15:08] Trijntje: if you have a shitty keyboard, alt+sysrq won't send the correct keysym [15:09] Trijntje: keyboards are supposed to send a seperate keysym with alt+sysrq [15:09] which is why it's special [15:09] george1: xorg is what allows you to be in a gui. gnome, kde, xfce or similar desktop [15:09] even cheap keyboards will work with sysrq though [15:09] auntieNeo: i like my keyboard... [15:09] auntieNeo, Trijntje also dvorak and other keyboard layouts will be different [15:09] chris-dowle: restart what? you don't need to restart ubuntu most of the time, you can just restart the service or restart X [15:09] <--- dvorak user ;P [15:10] aaronvarghese: WHY ARE YOU FTPING AND TELNETING INTO MY BOX? [15:10] lmao [15:10] mazda01_: i was talking about the service [15:10] mazda01: 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?!?!

[15:12] now [15:13] Hajuu: what if you have really big feet ;-) [15:13] Even then! [15:13] richardcavell: disconnect your internet, then tighten up your ports [15:14] lol disconnect your computer. [15:14] and just.. never turn it back on. Problem solved. [15:14] islington, 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] I 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] richardcavell: isn't there a way to disconnect a particular connection? you can find out what port he's on by issueing netstat -pant [15:15] pant? Seriously? [15:15] candrodor: i don't know, that's what I use. eveyrone does things differently [15:15] I used an iptables rule to block his IP altogether [15:15] I'm just being immature, that's all ;) [15:15] give me example for iptables richardcavell [15:16] lol wow! [15:16] You must be an engineer or something to be so smart richardcavell [15:16] richardcavell: i installed denyhosts and just add ips to the hosts.deny file. [15:16] I bet youve been to university and everything. [15:16] richard@richard-laptop:~$ sudo iptables -A INPUT -s 115.240.44.232 -j DROP [15:16] richardcavell, did u actually give that nub ur IP? [15:16] lol, because hackers only use one ip [15:16] skullbox: you can get it through whois [15:16] richardcavell: don't you have a default DROP policy? [15:17] 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] oh lol i thought he u were gonna remote with him or something lol [15:17] th0r: I should but somehow he got in [15:17] When using gparted, What does moving the partition to the right actually do? [15:17] mazda01_: we should watch for him [15:17] lol [15:17] you are such a lamer. [15:17] Gamma-X: it rewrites the partition table, then extends the file system [15:18] richardcavell: I have recently developed a real appreciation for firestarter....blocks everything by default and then you poke holes [15:18] hello everyone [15:18] FIREWALLS? who's heard of that.. [15:18] you guys are crazy hahah [15:18] th0r, u do know that firestarter hasnt been supported in years right lol [15:18] HI aaronvarghese [15:18] th0r: I got rid of it in favour of gufw but I like the fact that Firestarter shows me Active Connections [15:18] Nobody knows how to make a raid0 root system boot with grub? [15:18] skullbox: right, but look at fwbuilder and then, after you have decided to dump it...try firestarter [15:19] meh [15:19] frogzoo1, 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] th0r: i have a router with built in hardware firewall, so I am glad I don't have to play around with software firewall [15:19] gufw ftw [15:20] Gamma-X: you'll find you can't move the beginning of partitions... [15:20] skullbox: shorewall ftw :) [15:20] Hey, which ATi driver is better for the 'first-gen' Radeons? [15:20] richardcavell: so is there a way to view netstat -pant and just kill a connection to a certain ip? [15:20] mazda01_: yeah, I liked having a router, but now I depend on open wifi at marinas and such so.... [15:20] JEEBcz: the open source one works well for older radeons [15:20] frogzoo1, ok thanks [15:20] Boohbah, Backtracks FTW!!!!! [15:20] mazda01_: well I used the iptables rule since it was an emergency [15:21] Hi. Anyone here, that could help with GiftWrap? [15:21] mazda01_: I only just installed Karmic tonight because I accidentally zapped my Jaunty installation, so he caught me off guard === GreyGhost|AFK is now known as GreyGhost [15:21] th0r: oh I see. i don't use open wifi very often but when I do I should setup some good rules with iptables for when I do go out with the laptop [15:21] What 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] mazda01_: nope, but depending on whether your daemon process forks for every new connection, it may have its own PID [15:21] Boohbah, 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 so [15:22] aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh [15:22] mazda01_: that is why I like firestarter. It defaults to letting nothing in, and it is easy to define new policy exceptions [15:22] 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 killed [15:22] mazda01_: not all of us are trying to rule the world...sometimes easy is good enough [15:22] th0r: what do you mean? [15:22] Also, tested the extended version of tuxracer and that got sub-1fps framerates :/ [15:22] hi @all [15:23] hi @n00bster [15:23] Is there any way to get OpenGL to work on this fellow (well, it works but far from well it seems) [15:23] mazda01_: 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] mazda01_: 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 on [15:24] i got some probs with my wifi(intel 5300 @ lenovo t400) [15:24] iwlist says no scan results [15:24] iwconfig lists wlan0 [15:25] n00bster, what brand of wifi card does it have? [15:25] IEEE 802.11abgn [15:25] oh god, that richardcavell guy was australian [15:25] please, nobody think badly of me from him. [15:26] Hajuu: Chill out, mate [15:26] * JEEBcz sees that RV100-200 Radeon GPUs should work fully >_> Is not pleased [15:26] 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] i couldnt get my ati card to work either [15:26] I'm not you're mate, mate xD [15:26] mine is an all in wonder tho [15:26] Hajuu: stop it now [15:27] richardcavell: please lets move on [15:27] skullbox i tried to setup wpa_supplicant... [15:27] mazda01_: I have used iptables a lot, but now that it isn't my JOB anymore it is nice to just open a gui, type in a port number, and click apply [15:27] I got this error when making sure the usb stick can boot. [15:27] The file /mnt/sdc1/bt4/boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly. [15:28] th0r: and which gui is that easy? [15:28] mazda01_: 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] mazda01_: firestarter [15:28] th0r: got it [15:28] i really got no idea, why wlan0 shows no ap's, the pc i use now(m$) is also connected via wifi, so my ubuntu should list at least one ap.... [15:29] ...the same with wicd [15:29] mazda01_: have you tried firestarter? It really is worth a look...too bad they stopped supporting it. But I have frozen my install so I don't have to worry about that [15:29] n00bster: didi you try sudo iwlist interfacehere scan [15:30] th0r: I don't know any program that does a better job than firestarter [15:30] richardcavell: shorewall! [15:30] richardcavell: and it makes it SO easy === k is now known as Guest29644 [15:30] lol you're priceless richardcavell [15:30] th0r: i don't need to mess iwth it now because I am behind a hardware firewall but when I go out with my laptop, i'll look into it. [15:30] * LinuxGold looks around. [15:30] Hajuu: last warning - stop [15:30] For those that might be interested I have now fixed the problem myself! the CPU scaling was incorrect and was set to 600mhz! Just thought I'd let you know... [15:30] mazda01 sure, wlan0 No scan results... m$ lists about 3 aps [15:31] haha sorry, i'll just offer good gems of knowledge like him xD [15:31] is there any latest cacti in deb package ? [15:31] mazda01_: 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 reconfigure [15:31] Hajuu: if you don't agree, that's fine, but stop singling him out for smart comments. It ends now [15:31] 0.8.I need 0.8.7e [15:31] mazda01_: I am cruising on a sailboat, so I never know where my next net access will come from. [15:32] Incidentally I believe this is a 'bug' in ubuntu and this particular CPU [15:32] LinuxGold: what version of ubuntu? [15:32] 9.04 [15:33] server edition [15:33] LinuxGold: hmm, latest in Karmic is 0.8.7d [15:34] another frontend to iptables is shorewall [15:34] LinuxGold: probably need to build from source [15:34] is there any help channel on thhis server ? [15:34] coz_: i like shorewall :) [15:34] Hell`_: help for what ? [15:34] Boohbah, cool [15:34] Hell`_: that depends on what kind of help you are looking for [15:34] Hell`_, #freenode [15:35] Boohbah: ok, thanks... [15:35] Boohbah: does shorewall have a GUI? [15:35] Is there any plan schedule, goals or things like that for future deb packages for ubuntu? [15:35] help for basics xchat and ubuntu [15:35] Hell`_: ubuntu help is here, xchat help is in the channel #xchat [15:36] richardcavell: nope, it has configuration files and extensive documentation [15:36] Boohbah: a dumb guy like me needs a GUI [15:36] hmm, no real video conference revolution for ubuntu yet? [15:37] yellabs: not massivly [15:37] Hi. After I upgraded Ubuntu I can no longer see the files on MP3 player. The file explorer tells me to open it in rythom box and I can't see it there either. How do I see my files on my mp3 player and manipulate them like files? [15:37] yellabs: that would be helpful for us deaf users. [15:37] yellabs: has to be.. [15:37] sigthspeed has been sold to logitec, and there will be no linux version [15:37] sightspeed * [15:38] richardcavell: not all of us are dumb...some of us are just lazy [15:38] so the nice video conference software is gone.. ( dell mini ) [15:38] th0r: Oh yeah, I'm that too [15:38] dell video chat [15:38] i konia: thank you. I tried use /j for joining channel but it's not working, actually i am mirc user and widows just trying to switch on linux ,,, [15:38] richardcavell, there is also fwbuilder which has a gui [15:38] yellabs: how bout ekiga? [15:39] is it better than firestarter coz_ ? [15:39] Hell`_: type "/join #xchat" without the " marks [15:39] grr.... === LGie is now known as LGold [15:39] coz_: I first tried fwbuilder....it is easier to just do the iptables commands [15:39] richardcavell: better is subjective, one persons likes are another persons dislikes [15:39] may as well ask again now in case :) I'm can't get my CD drive working. As things stand, I can't find any CD I put in. fstab lists /dev/scd0 with mount point /media/cdrom0. The drive physically works fine, I'm sure. Any ideas? [15:39] richardcavell, well all of the frontends to iptables with a gui are going to be similar some with more options some with less [15:39] ls -la /dev/ | grep cd gives crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 2, 221 2009-07-25 10:55 ptycd and crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 3, 221 2009-07-25 10:55 ttycd [15:39] ekiga, well i have tried for 3 years, never got it to work [15:39] norton personal firewall for ubuntu [15:39] richardcavell, there is also guarddog === LGold is now known as LinuxGold [15:40] richardcavell, http://www.simonzone.com/software/guarddog/ [15:40] richardcavell, http://www.fwbuilder.org/ [15:40] Norton sucks. :( [15:40] candrodor: is it an audio CD? [15:40] What I would like is some software that can identify when packets have been rejected and flag them to me [15:40] th0r, with paying attention to your conversation, I recommend arnos-iptables-firewall [15:40] Boohbah: I've tried a few sort of CDs, audio, data. [15:40] richardcavell: iptables and all its frontends can do that [15:41] Boohbah: I know Firestarter keeps a log but I would rather have something else [15:41] Boohbah: What are some front ends to iptables? [15:41] I know the CD drive itself works, as I installed Ubuntu last night on it. [15:41] i though identifying packets was sniffer's job [15:41] I use gkrellm to monitor my bandwidth moment to moment [15:41] I wish there were some kind of similar thing for when you get port scanned [15:41] edbian: firestarter, shorewall [15:41] richardcavell: portsentry [15:41] richardcavell, http://linux.softpedia.com/downloadTag/iptables+GUI this is alist of frontends not sure of any of them though [15:42] richardcavell, not even sure if they are all linux based apps [15:42] richardcavell: maybe look into snort or nagios too, though those can get pretty advanced [15:42] whats the point of the firewall though ? [15:42] arent all ports blocked by default [15:42] richardcavell, those listed with a "k" at the beginning are most likely KDE applications so dont use them if on gnome [15:42] durt: checking it out now. Wish they had some screenshots on the site [15:43] shiznebit, controls of incoming and outgoing traffic to an internal network [15:43] richardcavell: gkrellm is something else we have in common . Great minds [15:43] th0r: it's terrific. [15:43] th0r, no screen shots, just an exstensive script. [15:43] shiznebit: no, i don't think iptables has any default rules. it's the fact that ubuntu doesn't have any running services by default [15:43] th0r: 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 not [15:43] richardcavell, gtk-iptables http://gtk-iptables.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html [15:44] mazda01_: which makes it much more secure on a default install than redhat-distros [15:44] Boohbah: why, what does redhat have listening by default? [15:44] richardcavell: 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 memory [15:45] mazda01_: all sorts of stuff [15:45] Well, I guess I'm going to stick with Firestarter for now [15:45] Boohbah: does it have any iptables rules by deault? [15:45] i have a dell inspiron e1705 and i just upgraded to jaunty. i read that i don't have to use ndiswrapper anymore, but my wireless card doesn't work. i think to install ndiswrapper i need an internet connection...what should i do? [15:46] can we inform anyone here on the channel about aaronvarghese_ and his ip? [15:46] he's back! [15:46] richardcavell, that fwbuilder looks pretty cool [15:46] richardcavell, look at the screenshots here http://www.fwbuilder.org/screenshots.html [15:46] mazda01_: i actually haven't done a default install of real redhat in years [15:47] no one help aaronvarghese he's a hacker looking to get into your computer [15:47] Boohbah: oh, ok. [15:48] coz_: That looks complicated. [15:48] coz_: fwbuilder is nice, but some of us don't even need that complexity. For me a firewall is as simple as block all incoming requests, permit all outgoing traffic, and btw....open this port. [15:48] does anyone know how I can get all my email that the systems sends me forwarded to another email address? is there a guide for this? [15:48] firewall builder looks awesome! [15:48] richardcavell, yes at first it will be but there are guides for this on that site and of course through google [15:48] mazda01_: .forward [15:49] hello. I've dought EeePC1000 and I can't read DJVU files.What do you advise to me? For I don't know what version QT I have [15:50] Hi, i am looking for a tool that wil download a package+is dependencies to a directory. [15:50] hello !Newbie question: ... I have firefox 3.5 on ubuntu 8.04 but after firefox crashed this morning, when I re-started it, all the icons were gone and all my bookmarks .... in other words: Firefox is majorly messed up and I would like to reinstall it ... how can I do that ? [15:50] roma_, can you link me to a DJVU file see if I can read it here [15:50] vvv: apt-get? [15:50] I have downloaded firefox-3.5.1.tar.bz2 but I don't know how to use it ... [15:51] Can it do that? [15:51] one simple question:what this command: "sudo iptables -L -n -v" does? [15:51] i don't want to install the package [15:51] vvvv: man apt-get [15:51] :) [15:51] Mob[st]er: You can just get firefox 3.5 from the repos! :) [15:51] !ff3.5 [15:51] Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 and firefox-3.5-gnome-support | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko on your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY [15:51] roma_: evince should be able to open djvu files [15:51] Mob[st]er, try firefox-3.5 [15:51] Mob[st]er: If you'd like though I can teach you how to install software from the source package. [15:52] jungle: man iptables will explain the options [15:52] Mob[st]er, sorry thought you already installed it [15:52] do I put the .forward file in my home directory? [15:52] coz_, : no prob ;) [15:52] coz_, That is book about Set theory (Hausdorf had witten it). jrib , I haven't evince [15:52] edbian, well... is it userfriendly / quick ? [15:52] th0r thanks [15:52] roma_: evince is in the default ubuntu install. What ubuntu are you using? [15:53] Mob[st]er, do you have link to the download? [15:53] I can easily find it [15:53] ok [15:53] Mob[st]er: Installing from source is less user friendly and slower than using the repos [15:54] How can I see an manipulate the files on my MP3 player? [15:54] Mob[st]er, that is true ^^ if you are going to download a firefox try the Minefield version 3.6 [15:54] Mob[st]er, none or very few of the addons are going to work with that [15:54] jrib, I know it. And I read with evince many time. On my EeePC is installed Xandros OS. I think I will replace that by ubuntu. [15:55] vvvv: sudo apt-get -d Download only; package files are only retrieved, not unpacked or installed. [15:55] tinker: what does "manipulate" mean?? [15:55] add and remove files [15:55] or just see them at this point [15:55] jrib, How can I get version of QT? [15:55] tinker: do you wanna delete, add files? [15:55] oh ok [15:55] then, how can I just reinstall the current version I have ? [15:55] nannes: yes [15:55] What is the real command name for {gdmconf | gdmconfig}? [15:55] how do I find out why have packages been kept back when running safe-upgrade? [15:56] tinker: you just have to connect it to the pc via USB [15:56] legend2440: but that way it will not retrieve packages that are installed on the system i am running this command [15:56] the device should be mounted in auto [15:56] nannes: I have and the file manger will not display the files [15:56] i want to use it to create a custom repo for a non internet connected pc [15:56] it just gives me a button to open rythom box [15:57] roma_: ask the xandros channel [15:57] nannes: the file manager used to display the files before I upgraded [15:57] Mob[st]er: http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/06/firefox-35-rc-1-ubuntu-repository-deb.html [15:58] hello.. what protection is that ? http://pastebin.com/d6ac89e64 [15:58] tinker: ok, isn't Rithmbox ok to manage files? [15:58] nannes, which mp3player [15:59] nannes: no it isn't. I can't find anyway with rythmbox to see the files let along get them on or off my mp3 player [15:59] bazhang: its a sansa player [15:59] Need help with ssh access [15:59] seems to work ... awsome ... thanks LinuxGold [15:59] tinker, make and model? have you tried others, such as banshee; I have had luck with that and mp3 players [16:00] bazhang: I haven't any problem! It's tinker! [16:00] nannes, my mistake, apologies [16:00] :D [16:00] tinker: change the settingss on your sansa so that it acts as MSC [16:00] bazhang: Sandisk sansa m260: the file manager showed the files before I upgraded to the latest [16:00] Mob[st]er: no problem! You will be billed. [16:00] jrib: how do I do that? [16:01] :P [16:01] :) [16:01] tinker: should be pretty obvious, mine says "USB mode" in the settings menu [16:01] tinker: so you have upgraded to the lastest version of firmware?? [16:01] Google Chrome 3 Beta is out... [16:01] hmm... [16:01] grah, anyone else here with a first-gen ATi Radeon that doesn't get nice performance and seems to have been killed from the latest closed drivers?

[16:11] have a good weekend [16:11] vvvv: did you figure it out? i found a way [16:11] LinuxGold, what would I be looking for?? [16:11] I went to engineering school :) [16:11] ;P [16:11] i created a file in my home directory named .forward, will this forward all the system email I get to the address I put in the file? [16:11] legend2440: no not yet [16:11] thepeon: are you familiar with network technologies? [16:11] how to send email to my gmail inbox using mail command plz? [16:12] how is your way? [16:12] LinuxGold: for the mostpart === panda is now known as Guest31647 === janne2 is now known as Skiessi [16:12] LinuxGold, lol [16:13] I attended Rochester Institute of Technology, hope that qualify [16:14] I like this link better: http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html [16:14] Lost raid after 9.04 upgrade, don't know where to start troubleshooting - any thoughts? [16:14] add that to the bot ;) [16:14] LinuxGold: I can ssh from server to desktop, but not desktop to server. So I think it may be a firewall issue [16:14] thepeon, can you ping the server from your client? [16:14] desktop? [16:14] on the same machine? [16:14] vvvv: open synaptic choose programs you want to download and either mark for install or mark for reinstall then open File>Generate download script and save the script then run the script using sudo ./script from inside dir you create to hold downloaded packages [16:14] burkmat: yes [16:14] desktop on top of server? [16:14] or separate machines? [16:14] Now seriously, doesn't anyone have a clue on how to make sure the ATi card is getting used properly and is functioning 100% - the guy I installed the 9.04 desktop to loves it, I don't want to go back to Windows for 3-D performance [16:15] LinuxGold: no, two different machines [16:15] thepeon, try running `ssh host -vvv` and see if you get anything useful out of it? [16:15] how can i create a new launcher in kde4? [16:15] vvvv: then close synaptic without hitting apply so they dont get installed/reinstalled [16:15] thepeon: ah, what burkmat asks. [16:15] dr3mro: i think it's just mail emailaddresshere, then enter your message, then hit ctrl-d to send your message [16:16] Just a quick test, new to irc - are my messages even broadcasting? [16:16] That's an idea [16:17] LinuxGold burkmat: running 0.9.8g, reading configuration data, Applying options for * and ssh_connect: needpriv 0, [16:17] johnnyraidhelp: acknowledged [16:17] johnnyraidhelp: working :) [16:17] mazda01, i tries that but it gives me "Mail Delivery Status Report will be mailed to dr3mro " [16:17] thx all [16:17] Last line reads ssh: Could not resolve hostname host: Name or service not known [16:17] thepeon: from your workstation (desktop on your term) can you ping to a targeted server? [16:17] thepeon, what hostname are you trying to connect to? dns issue perhaps? [16:17] LinuxGold, He can. [16:18] oh [16:18] ok [16:18] * LinuxGold quiets down [16:18] :P [16:18] :) [16:18] LinuxGold yest [16:18] ^^ [16:18] burkmat, I'm just using the ip addresses right now, no local DNS yet [16:18] dr3mro: didi you follow a guide for setting up youir ubuntnu install for sending mail? [16:18] is ssh port open in /etc/services? [16:19] thepeon, huh... that sounds odd. it says it can't resolve an IP? oO [16:19] LinuxGold, you don't open ports, you get daemons to listen on them.... sudo aptitude install openssh-server [16:19] mazda01, no ! [16:19] dr3mro: http://www.quietearth.us/articles/2006/09/25/Ubuntu-Sending-command-line-mail [16:19] Titan8990 (updating my brain) thanks. [16:19] type netstat -lptu that will tell you if the port is open [16:20] thepeon, Are you running a firewall on the server? Or is this just a clean install? [16:20] burkmat: It was a clean server install, only addition was gnome since I was having the ssh issues [16:20] Hi! Want to know the differences between what "free" reports and what System Monitor shows as free memory. The outputs differ vastly [16:21] kedarl: try top [16:21] it's more detailed than just "free" [16:21] kedar1, 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] kedar1: free includes buffer allocations, which use a lot of space [16:21] kedar1, cat /proc/meminfo [16:21] i'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. [16:22] thepeon: you need the localhost defined in /etc/hosts [16:22] thepeon, 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] but on the 8g RAM machine, free shows that only 1g is available! [16:22] That's clearly not correct, I guess. [16:22] pagoda, you need the kernel headers for your kernel (in other distro you would need the entire source tree) [16:22] burkmat, router and switch between, but have never had an ssh issue with this router [16:22] ok, I should rely on Sys Monitor I think. [16:22] Titan8990: how do i get those? [16:22] kedarl: it should be -- allocated to be used for Operating System. [16:22] pagoda, so, because you are not doing things the proper way, you could possible need the source tree [16:22] I will definitely try top as well. [16:23] it doesn't mean that it is already in use, just "allocated" [16:23] Titan8990: what is the proper way? [16:23] pagoda, through the package manager, where you should get everything, including ndiswrapper [16:23] what is "Segment fault(Core Dumped)" [16:23] th0r, local host defined as 192.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts [16:23] pagoda, aptitude search kernel headers [16:23] kedar1: look at the +/- buffers line [16:23] pagoda, aptitude install kernel-headers-`uname -r` [16:23] Titan8990: will that work without an internet connection? [16:23] thepeon: no...that error rings a bell...something about having to have the localhost's computer name and ip in hosts even if you aren't using dns [16:23] @haanuj -- your program is trying to do an illegal access to memory location. [16:23] pagoda, no [16:24] can anyone tell me that "segmentation Fault(Core Dumped) [16:24] Titan8990: dammit. i'm trying to skip the steps that use apt-get because i don't want to dig out my ethernet cable [16:24] I am using ev-do wireless USB dongle (from, ZTE) for my internet connection. in a forum, I read that "some versions of Ubuntu do not perform as well with wireless (signal strength wise)." is it true ?! [16:24] kedar1 : how can it solved [16:24] pagoda, thats terrible, download the all the .deb from the repos on a machine that does have internet and transfer it over [16:24] pagoda, do things the right way, period [16:25] th0r, sorry, not following [16:25] Titan8990: do you know how to get my wireless card working without ndiswrapper? i have a dell laptop with a broadcom card [16:25] @haanuj, you should analyze the "core" file it dumped (that's what the message is trying to say) [16:25] Titan8990: running jaunty === sam_ is now known as Taft [16:25] pagoda, no, i avoid broadcom at all times [16:25] Titan8990: where do i get the .deb files? [16:25] pagoda, buy a better card such as an atheros [16:25] How do I restart apache2 without rebooting? [16:25] i am trying to get mail setup on my system and I am getting this in the /var/log/exim4/mainlog: http://pastebin.com/f632f9ed3 any help please? [16:25] stercor: sudo service apache2 restart [16:25] pagoda, there is an aptitude option to fetch only [16:25] thepeon: yeah...here it is....a ways down the explaination he shows you /eetc/hosts...http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1100566.html [16:25] Hi! How would I change the sound theme on Ubuntu? Also, where would I find a list of sound themes? [16:25] keden! : when i do "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" it gives that error [16:26] Titan8990: i only have one computer. i'm dual booting windows and linux. sounds like i need an ethernet cable... [16:26] kedar : when i do "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" it gives that error [16:26] mazda01, it looks like you have done no configuration [16:26] pagoda, yep [16:26] Titan8990: thanks [16:26] does anyone here have ubuntu on their ps3? [16:26] thepeon: you need to define your server's name and local ip in /etc/hosts....it's as though the server can't find itself without an entry in hosts....can't find it with both hands [16:27] Titan8990: any guides for setting this up please? === kde-devel is now known as m4nu [16:27] haanuj, the same command worked perfectly for me :) [16:27] How would I change the sound theme on Ubuntu? Also, where would I find a list of sound themes? [16:27] mazda01, do you realize that exim4 is a HIGHLY advanced smtp server, smtp servers being the most difficult servers to configure and secure for network admins? [16:28] that's fine [16:28] but it doesn't work for me [16:28] mazda01, you won't get any spoonfeeding with this, the guy that wrote exim4 has a decent book out there, search for it on amazon [16:28] Folks I just installed Karmic and ran zenmap on my system. This is what I get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/233229/ This is with Firestarter running. Can anyone explain why all those ports are open? [16:28] Titan8990: no sorry, I didn't know that. any easier mail apps to setup? i am merely trying to get a mail program so that I can send quick emails from the command line. [16:28] mazda01, no it didn't work and i am using jaunty [16:28] haanuj, is this jaunty or karmic [16:28] mazda01, i tries that but it gives me "Mail Delivery Status Report will be mailed to dr3mro " [16:28] karmic [16:28] richardcavell, #ubuntu+1 for karmic, haanuj you too [16:28] th0r: ok, added 192.168.1.103 with the host name, still not able to log in [16:28] haanuj: karmic is alpha software, what do you expect? [16:28] mazda01, ssmtp was made for that [16:29] bazhang: I don't think it's relevant [16:29] alpha software means ??? [16:29] richardcavell: it [16:29] richardcavell, that is where the discussion is [16:29] Not trying to be a broken record, just waiting for the devine moment - but just upgraded to 9.04 and lost my software raid and don't know where to begin troubleshooting - any thoughts? [16:29] mazda01_, http://linux.com/archive/feature/132006 [16:29] haanuj: development is at alpha stage, very early, not released [16:29] haanuj -- it means bleeding edge where you bleed with pleasure :) [16:30] s not going to matter if you're behind a router unless you forward all those ports. if you're behind a hardware firewall just make sure none of the ports are forwarded or open [16:30] haanuj: stable ubuntu is still jaunty [16:30] haanuj, karmic is alpha software---> #ubuntu+1 for discussion [16:30] kedar1 : ok [16:30] is there any good network map software for Ubuntu? [16:30] I am using ev-do wireless USB dongle (from, ZTE) for my internet connection. in a forum, I read that "some versions of Ubuntu do not perform as well with wireless (signal strength wise)." is it true ?! (2) [16:30] thanx [16:30] thepeon: I assume you can ping to the server and have port 22 open to there as well. Do you have the same hosts file in both machines? [16:30] mazda01_: I have done that. But what are the ports doing? [16:30] LinuxGold, nmap? :) [16:30] LinuxGold, if you are talking about visio similar, no [16:30] does anyone here have ubuntu on their ps3? [16:30] LinuxGold, scanning then there is nmap [16:31] visio similar [16:31] richardcavell: they are listening only on your internal network. they are services that you're running. [16:31] LinuxGold, yep... nothing close [16:31] I guess I will give cacti weathermap a try. [16:31] thepeon: and are you watching /var/log/messages on the server? it should show when ssh attempts to connect [16:31] th0r: don [16:31] th0r: doesn't ssh attempts get logged to auth.log [16:31] mazda01_: I didn't get them a little while ago. Which services are they? [16:31] Wish Spiceworks works on Linux. [16:31] mazda01_: I think so there too....but I always just checked messages [16:31] register [16:32] th0r: /var/log/auth.log would be better [16:32] ok... thepeon tail /var/log/auth.log ... (bowing to the majority) [16:32] richardcavell: you'd have to look them up on the internet. just goggle them. [16:32] lol [16:32] LinuxGold: System > Administration > Network Tools or nmap (sudo apt-get install nmap) but it's without GI === `0OoOoO0OoOoO0` is now known as oobe [16:33] Titan8990: can I uninstall exim4 safely and just use sSMTP then? I did sudo aptitude install mailutils and it installed a whole mess of stuff [16:33] nannes: thanks, it sucks to be the only IT person in 300 workstations environment. [16:33] LinuxGold: ahahah [16:34] and 14 Cisco switches [16:34] th0r, entries about crons and accessing root [16:34] LinuxGold: nmap is the best however [16:34] mazda01, aptitude remove exim4 && aptitude auto-clean [16:34] I'll give nmap a try -- but I need to be able to analyze quickly to be able to have time for other things. [16:34] thepeon: then ssh isn't being accessed...you aren't making it to the server. Can you ping the server ip? [16:34] th0r, yes [16:35] LinuxGold, maybe you should have made documentation around the implementation stage.... [16:35] thepeon: you are going through a wifi router? [16:35] hmm.... [16:35] th0r, no [16:35] LinuxGold, good network docuementation > all [16:36] thepeon: just an ethernet hub or switch? [16:36] To add a new samba share anually I just edit smb.conf and add path = /home/usr and restart samba daemon yes? [16:36] titan8990: have you tried Spiceworks? [16:36] th0r, switch and router, but the router is allowing access reversely (ssh from server to desktop) [16:37] ok guys, here is a question that is probably asked many times. so, apologies in advance -- [16:37] thepeon: you can ssh server to desktop but not the other way? [16:37] th0r, yep [16:37] !ask | kedar1 [16:37] kedar1: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [16:37] If you are hosting your own "server" ubuntu machine, what is a very good resource for sys admins -- I wan to do the things "right". [16:38] how can i boot my ubuntu 9.04 desktop edition without x window/gnome? i want to use my ubuntu desktop edition like a server edition. [16:38] thepeon: is there a firewall? sounds like a firewall policy for port 22 that only works in one direction [16:38] th0r, not that I have set up [16:38] kedar1: what? [16:38] !nogui [16:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about nogui [16:38] The question is about "Where to Start" (sorry for the disappointment in question ;)) [16:38] hi...i have connected my acer aspire 1694wlmi (ubuntu 8.04.3, ATI mobility X700) via s-video to my tv! everything looks good...but how can i adjust the screen resolution on my tv...because i cant see the whole desktop?? [16:39] kedar1: http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html [16:39] kedar1, What do you want your server to do? [16:39] th0r the router firewall is only set up to firewall from the outside, not the internal side of the network [16:39] thepeon: there is no entry in auth.log so it appears the ssh request is never reaching the server. I would look real close at the router and the switch. [16:39] LinuxGold -- thanks :) [16:39] <_Lucretia_> hi, i'm on 8.04 and want to upgrade, but the "sudo update-manager --dist-upgrade" fails to find any upgrades, what am i missing? [16:39] thepeon, what is the exact command line you use when trying to ssh to the server? [16:39] burkmat -- I want it to be on the Internet :) (scary, I think) [16:39] thepeon: (there is something buried under years of dust...something about those darn switches) [16:39] ssh mike@192.168.1.1 [16:40] hey ppl [16:40] :-( [16:40] hi korrupt [16:40] kedar1: -.- what do you want your server to do? [16:40] th0r, I'll take another look [16:40] thepeon: just use the ip...ssh 192.168.1.1 [16:40] im having problems with my ubuntu 9.04 [16:40] nannes -- I want it to host my web applications. [16:40] it doesnt play the sound [16:40] th0r, tried that as well [16:40] is anyone willing to help me [16:40] thepeon, probably sound stupid, but are you sure 192.168.1.1 is your server and not the router? ^^ [16:41] burkmat: that was my next question [16:41] opps, sorry, ip is 192.168.1.103 [16:41] lol [16:41] thepeon: try nc 192.168.1.1 22 you should see something like: SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.7p1 Debian-8ubuntu1.2 [16:41] thepeon, does it work with `ssh mike@192.168.1.103`? :P [16:41] kedar1: 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 dynDNS [16:41] burkmat, nope [16:42] nannes- correct. I gather that. [16:42] thepeon: or you can telnet to port 22 and see the same I think [16:42] ztw4726, would I run that on the server or client? [16:42] thepeon, do what ztw4726 said, but with the right ip. `nc 192.168.1.103 22`. [16:42] anyone :-( [16:42] thepeon, client. [16:42] kedar1: it's to obtain an hostname which is always associated to your IP [16:42] But I need to make sure that I know where to look for when "system problems" strike [16:42] thepeon: on the client if 192.168.1.1 is the servers's ip [16:42] I think going from a "hosted service" to your own machines hosting your applications is a great leap ... [16:43] <_Lucretia_> ok, found it [16:43] Titan8990: actually installing sSMTP removed exim4 and all it's dependencies [16:43] I want to do it step by step, if possible. [16:43] ztw4726 burkmat it's sitting, no connection no error yet [16:43] I am willing to learn by going wrong, but need to know a good starting point. [16:43] mazda01, nice, a server can only have one smtp server [16:43] thepeon: yeah...you aren't making the trip to the server...the router or switch is blocking it [16:43] kedar1: LinuxGold told you yet... GOOGLE! [16:43] :) [16:44] thepeon: then you cannot reach the server on tcp port 22 [16:44] kedar1, Well, for a webserver just install Ubuntu Server with LAMP and start playing around. It's all there. [16:44] google, yes, of course. But there are some issues i think [16:44] thepeon: check if any iptables rules on the server block incoming traffic [16:44] cough, is sshd up and running? [16:44] thepeon, on server, `iptables -L` [16:44] e.g. free vs System Monitor, your system's syslog etc. Basic disk partitioning ... [16:45] burkmat -- yes, I have done just that. [16:45] LinuxGold: if sshd wasn't running he would get "connection refused" [16:45] thepeon: and while you are on the server....'ps ax | grep sshd' and make sure the ssh server is running [16:45] Titan8990: /usr/local/ssmtp/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf isn't even there? I am doing a locate on it now [16:45] yes, I will keep on playing with it and coming back to #ubuntu which is a great resource! [16:45] I 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 for [16:45] kedar1: you'll find those thing, too [16:45] kedarl: BTW, welcome! [16:45] th0r, yest, it's running [16:45] kedar1: only if you start googling [16:45] burkmat: what I'm i looking for in the iptables? [16:45] mazda01, try /etc/ssmtp [16:46] kedarl: I suggest linuxquestions.org [16:46] thepeon, Any rules regarding port 22. if this was a clean install though you shouldn't have any rules? [16:46] and lurk there. [16:46] thepeon: is the server in service right now or it is new? I would disable iptables rules for now [16:46] the more you read, the more you will learn [16:47] Thanks LinuxGold. I will park on LinuxQuestions.org [16:47] How about Ubuntu forums? [16:47] that too [16:47] linuxquestions is more geared at linux by itself. [16:47] the more you learn about linux, the more you will be able to understand ubuntu [16:47] kedar1: I suggest you to use Ubuntu Server Edition [16:47] burkmat ztw4726 nothing for port 22 [16:48] thepeon: how did you check? === ante_ is now known as _ante_ [16:48] thepeon, 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] thepeon: it might not be specific to port 22. [16:48] 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] kedar1: about partitions... as you like!! for example create a new partition for /tmp and format it with ReiserFS [16:48] burkmat yes (but switch is between router and server [16:48] (I'm thinking if apache is up and running, should thepeon check if he is able to see it from desktop?) [16:49] Thank you folks. I agree, the more I know of Linux, the more I will enjoy Ubuntu. [16:49] thepeon, Alright. [16:49] kedar1: another partition for /var/ (for example on ext3 or ext4 if compatibility is ok) [16:49] kedarl: if someone advise you to do "rm -rf /" DO NOT DO IT! [16:49] thepeon: is this server in active service or new? [16:49] th0r, new [16:49] !danger | LinuxGold [16:49] LinuxGold: 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! [16:50] kedar1: and another also for the webserver files, and certainly you mustn't forget root partition with all the rest [16:50] thepeon: 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] Running 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? [16:51] th0r: trying now, looks like it's going to timeout again [16:51] thepeon: does the server have more than one ethernet interface? [16:51] hi guys, ive got a porable sound recorder which won't work on my pc, i had the drivers installed but its just not seen, any idea? thanks [16:51] Gotta cook lunch for family. [16:51] bbl [16:51] thepeon: is there a firewall on the desktop? [16:52] ztw4726, yes, but it's not currently connected [16:52] ztw4726, Good question. ;) [16:52] th0r, no [16:52] thepeon: then it is a problem in the router....has to be [16:52] th0r, or sshd is listening on the wrong NIC! [16:52] burkmat: he said he could ping the server and ssh server to desktop, so the nic should be good [16:53] burkmat: ...oh...didn't think of that (doooh) [16:53] if 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] thepeon: try running tcpdump on the server's interface which is connected to the switch: sudo tcpdump -ni ethX (where X could be 0 or 1) [16:53] this is on ubuntu with GNOME desktop environment [16:53] anyone know? [16:54] can someone tell me how I can add the peoples list in xchat? [16:54] does anyone know how i can "reset" pulse audio? ever since i used alsamixer once, pulse audio seems to have given up [16:54] burkmat: if the server is listening on the wrong nic, he still would get "connection refused" (tcp reset) [16:54] my volume control has become ineffetive. [16:54] ztw4726, Ah... True. must be something dropping packets rather than rejecting... [16:55] burkmat: that's why i suggested running tcpdump on the server [16:55] ztw4726, ok, now what am i looking for with the tcpdump? [16:55] Running 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? [16:55] thepeon: you look for tcp port 22 packets [16:55] Slowwwww wirelessssss [16:55] ztw4726, you got any ideas about that? [16:56] lenswipe: hmm? [16:56] test [16:56] ztw4726, im logged into a box thru ssh and someone else is loged in locally, how do i have a message box appear on their screen (i have root privaliges) [16:56] nio: it works! :D [16:57] ztw4726, ok, not seeing anything and I tried connecting from the client with tcpdump running [16:57] lenswipe: use the write command [16:57] I think I need to dig through my router [16:57] i'm having slow wirelessss [16:57] ? [16:57] ztw4726, ooh, how do i do that? is it just "write <>" [16:57] like that? [16:57] thepeon: yup...I would look close at that router [16:57] thepeon: then the packets aren't physically arriving on the server [16:58] th0r, ok, just looked and realized I wasn't running my firewall [16:58] thepeon: try ping and see if tcpdump shows that [16:58] I don't seem to be able to print to my printer at all times. I started my computer up, printed a one page simple document. All went well. Now I try to print a 65 page pdf document and no luck. When I go the the Printers dialog box, it says it may not be connected. [16:58] ztw4726, I think lenswipe is trying to write to a GNOME Session, is that even possible with `write`? [16:58] !msg | Samm [16:58] ztw4726, seeing the ping [16:58] Samm, please see my private message [16:58] thepeon: just run a crossover cable between the desktop and the server...that would verify ssh is running and that the problem is elsewhere === ramon is now known as rcvalle [16:58] burkmat: write can only write to other user's terminals if the have mesg y set [16:59] ztw4726, aye, as I thought. [16:59] thepeon: but I am pretty sure it will be in the router or the switch [16:59] ztw4726, but i was wanting to have a msg box appear on their screen [16:59] thepeon: is it a smart switch? [16:59] like windows netsend [16:59] thepeon: then something IS filtering the port 22 traffic [16:59] but a local version [16:59] thepeon, can you try connecting the client and server to the same switch? [16:59] thepeon: you pinged the server from the client, right? [16:59] th0r, nope, netgear fast switch [17:00] ztw4726, yes [17:00] Running 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? [17:00] lenswipe: if you have root privs, you can copy the .Xauthority from the user who is logged in graphically, set the DISPLAY variable to :0 and run xmessage or something [17:01] ztw4726, thanks, would zenity be any use? [17:01] burkmat, connecting both to the router first (so I don't lose you guys [17:01] lenswipe: should work [17:01] could someone help me with a partition question? [17:01] I have a folder in Trash that I dont have permission to delete. How do I get rid of it? [17:02] brodymcd: depends on the question [17:02] lenswipe: but you still need to copy the .Xauthority file from the user to get display permission on the X server [17:02] ztw4726, thanks :) [17:02] No one, then? [17:02] yh [17:02] I see the following in my system log: serial8250: too much work for irq17 [17:02] ztw4726, unless i use root :P [17:02] lenswipe: even with root [17:02] JonathanEllis: You could give yourself permission using the "chown" command. [17:02] lenswipe: X display permissions do not make use of UIDs [17:03] edbian: Thanks. What is the path to items in trash? [17:03] ztw4726, dang [17:03] JonathanEllis: Good question! I'm not really sure. :) [17:03] lenswipe: but when you are root, you can read the user's .Xautority file [17:03] JonathanEllis, your personal trash is ~/.trash [17:04] ok.... what package do I need to install to make notify-osd work!? I've installed gnome-osd, libxosd2, notify-osd, osdsh, xosd-bin, what else do I need to install?? [17:04] ztw4726, right thanks [17:04] JonathanEllis: It's a hidden folder in your /home directory: "/home/JonathanEllis/.Trash" [17:04] I have vista dual-boot system, and I thought I only had Vista, Dell Recovery, Ubuntu and a swap partition... I want to take the remaining area and make it a data partition, but it says I already have 4... how to make this work? Image of gparted here... http://img.waffleimages.com/4f73e950cf05dc435c66549b400d3faf91544527/Screenshot--dev-sda%20-%20GParted-1.png [17:05] what's a good system monitor tool that would add a tray icon showing the current cpu load from there ? [17:05] Halitech: JonathanEllis in jaunty I think trash was moved to ~/.local/share/Trash [17:05] Ok, confirmed. It will print a one page document, but nothing more. [17:05] floating: There is a panel applet called "system monitor" that lets you put little monitoring windows on th panel. [17:06] whats the command to delete a directory and its sub contents? [17:06] th0r: Thanks. Found that [17:06] Gamma-X: sudo rm -r [17:06] edbian, Thanks! [17:06] Gamma-X : rm -rf [17:06] Gamma-X: NP [17:06] edbian: oh it does. I have it actually open, but when i minimize it I dont get it in tray. quickly checking the options I could not find either but [17:07] !trash [17:07] The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash === pauldb is now known as Pauldb [17:07] floating: There are 2 things called "system monitor" The actual program which is located in System -> Admin and the panel applet. You can add the panel applet by right clicking an empty spot on the panel and "adding to panel..." Then select system monitor. It doesn't go in the notification area but it does go on the panel. [17:08] floating: "System Monitor" the app IS NOT the same as "System Monitor Panel Applet" [17:08] edbian: thanks, found it [17:08] floating: Awesome! === rubydiamond is now known as rubydiamond2 [17:12] Could anyone help with my printer problem? [17:13] hello room [17:13] Hello all. Does anyone here have any experience with Getlibs? [17:13] hello all [17:13] can someone help out with a dhcp problem [17:13] hello [17:13] can someone help out with a dhcp server problem [17:14] folks, just ask your questions if someone knows they'll answer. [17:14] !ask | unixbocx [17:14] unixbocx: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [17:14] hello [17:15] brodymcd: you can have only four primary partitions, but you can create an extended partition for data [17:15] sup [17:15] anyone knows your broblem but, all guys is so lazy [17:15] defan [17:15] hai - hai aq fandhi [17:15] where can I find a generic video driver for Ubuntu? [17:15] how are u talking to me unless u have linex?? [17:16] caveman2, the vesa-server is as generic as they come. [17:16] How important is it to have a separate /boot partition? [17:16] caveman2, linux comes with generic drivers [17:16] i dont no [17:16] ok, thanks, i have a ubuntu server running with dhcp server running on it,(two nic cards) i can dhcp out to my cable modem to get online now but how do i get my linksys router to be part of the internat network to the rest of the other machines, dhcp is turned off on the router.. [17:16] haha salome [17:16] candrodor, unless you are planning multiple installs of linux distros, its not important to have a seperate /boot [17:17] listen to all the drivers, ubuntu should be updated by itself [17:17] opo ndeso [17:17] Hello, can anyone give me a hand using Getlibs? I'm trying to install a 32 bit program on 64 bit jaunty. getlibs says to "Make sure you have all repositories enabled and updated", but I'm really not exactly sure how to do that and google seems to just be confusing me at the moment. [17:17] dnet1, English please [17:17] unixbocx: you must enable IP forwarding and NAT on the ubuntu server [17:19] ok, i will look into that but can my linksys router be inbetween mt server and the rest of the network, can it act like a hub without using the uplink port [17:19] my server === desti_T2 is now known as desti [17:19] I don't seem to be able to print to my printer at all times. I started my computer up, printed a one page simple document. All went well. Now I try to print a 65 page pdf document and no luck. When I go the the Printers dialog box, it says it may not be connected. [17:19] why doesn't evolution know what programs to open to view attachments? [17:19] unixbocx: i don't know anything about your linksys router [17:19] It used to [17:20] unixbocx: In order to get your linksys router to behave like a hub, you'll have to use one of the numbered ports for the incoming connection [17:20] it used to before I upgraded from ubuntu to 9.04 kubuntu [17:20] ok, i do have it set up like that now, i get a limited or no connection on the winbox [17:21] unixbocx: Okay, is the Linksys set on the same IP range as the dhcp server? [17:21] unixbocx: 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. [17:22] i was looking into that but can't seem to log back into my router on 192.168.1.1 [17:22] th0r: how can I create an extended partition? When I hit "new" it says I can't... how do I create extended without deleting one of the 4 primary? [17:22] ztw4726: I actually had a Linksys router doing passthrough from a Netgear, so it can be done [17:23] unixbocx: Right, it won't let you log into it without an IP Address... [17:23] i believe i did yesterday get one winbox to come online throught eth1 [17:23] hi, im wondering if anyone can tell me how to set the CPU multiplier?... thanks [17:23] whats up [17:23] Ravahan: well i don't know many routers. i always use linux boxes for routing. [17:23] but i didn't have the router connected [17:24] Hi does anyone know where to get 9.04 ubuntu themes? [17:24] george1, depending on the motherboard, it may be a jumper on the board or a setting in the BIOS [17:24] like to make it look like mac or windows etc - [17:24] @ubuntuvista. Google should help. [17:24] Hold on a sec. [17:24] uBUNTUVISTA: gnomelook.org [17:24] more modern* look thats all [17:24] what i'm trying to do is still use the linksys routers wifi [17:24] unixbocx: so how is the winbox connected to the ubuntu server now? [17:24] unixbocx: Ah okay [17:24] www.gnome-look.org [17:24] i was wondering if anyone had a good link for what services I can disable with BUM on a Ubuntu Netbook Remix [17:25] it's not it's going through the linksys router now and not connecting [17:25] ty ty guys [17:25] uBUNTUVISTA: Try this http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/05/9-great-gnome-themes-with-ubuntu.html [17:26] unixbocx: I had a similar problem, and what I found out from a friend of mine was that the wireless part of the router and the wired part are different devices. At least with the wireless device I was using, it was not possible to enable wireless IP Passthrough as broadcast would just turn off whenever I disabled DHCP [17:26] Ok thanks X I will look now at bothh Gnome-Look and WEBUP8 [17:26] unixbocx: Would it be possible to rearrange the network so that you have the wireless access point providing the dhcp? === sedna__ is now known as Sedna [17:26] Ravahan: what you f*** stupid device [17:26] halitech, my system was running really slow and i realised that although ubuntu recognises the cpu as 1.6Ghz it runs it at 600Mhz or at least thats what the CPU monitor is telling me. i should have worded my question differently. is there a way to force it to stay at 1.6Ghz? [17:26] Ok, my printer error seems to be an evince bug === joaopinto is now known as joaopinto_brb [17:26] Ravahan: s/you/a/ [17:27] george1, probably using cpu scaling which is usually set in the BIOS [17:27] khensthoth omg those themes are perfect! so nice! [17:27] Ravahan: sorry, typo [17:27] khensthoth thankyou!!!! [17:27] ztw4726: lol I was wondering [17:27] uBUNTUVISTA: Glad you like them. [17:27] ok this is what i was hoping to do, Cable box > ubuntuserver on eth0(dhcp'd) > eth1 out to router > wireless out to any other devices, dhcp giving ips out from the ubuntu server [17:28] Halitech, i know you can set it in the bios but ubuntu has it built in to the os which seems to be over riding that?... [17:28] unixbocx: Is there any particular reason that you need the Ubuntu server to be in the front? [17:28] khensthoth E: Couldn't find package tropical-theme [17:28] khensthoth its not working :( [17:29] george1, do you have cpu scaling turned off in the BIOS? [17:29] How can I record a video stream inside firefox in ubuntu? I'm fairly oriented, just don't know which addon/app...? [17:29] Halitech, im not sure. are you thinking that if i turn it off then ubuntu wont be able to limit the CPU? [17:29] brodymcd: I assume you are in gnome, so gparted is the utility to use. I haven't had much experience with a lot of partitions...always just had two primary and put the rest into extended partitions. You might check here for more info....http://www.storagereview.com/guide2000/ref/hdd/index.html [17:29] oi, tudo bem ? [17:30] george1, yes, it 'idles' down to save power when it doesn't need to run at full speed [17:30] Does anybody know what invalid ROM contents mean? [17:30] i 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, [17:31] *means? === burkmat is now known as burkmafk [17:31] Arecord [17:31] Halitech, ok but the system seems to be eating my cpu. xorg is constantly running at a minimum of 30% [17:31] unixbocx: 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 connection [17:32] anyone know of a good BUM guide for disabling unneeded services/boot up items with Ubuntu netbook version [17:32] c0ntract0r, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006 [17:32] thanks very much friend [17:32] i was looking into that DMZ but would my ip address still be dhcp'd from the router [17:33] for the server [17:33] george1, 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 up [17:33] unixbocx: 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 ya [17:34] unixbocx: I stumbled across it recently [17:34] ok thanks [17:35] i was concerned that i wouldn't be able to get the A record in godaddy to point to my server [17:35] halitech, 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? lol [17:36] i 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 host [17:36] george1, if you know ubuntu and like how it works you could go Debian, its no harder the Ubuntu is anymore [17:36] unixbocx: Here's a guide on how to setup a static IP in Ubuntu Server. http://tinyurl.com/2u8ufw [17:36] unixbocx: 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 headache [17:36] halitech, many thanks [17:37] quick question - where is the xorg config file? i would expect it in /etc/X11/, but that's blank [17:37] warinthepocket: that's expected and normal for common video drivers [17:37] warinthepocket, it is in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [17:37] just bought a 1tb disk, external, usb, what filesystem do you guys recommend to run on it? there is some msdos thing on it now [17:38] sidewalk: ZFS! [17:38] warinthepocket, make sure you are putting X11 and not x11 [17:38] unixbocx: I've not personally hosted a website out of my home, but it shouldn't be an issue I wouldn't think. I've never known someone who ran a site directly plugged into their cable modem [17:38] I have a convertible touchscreen eee pc T91, but it doesn't recognize the video adapter. I end up in standard vesa. Can anyone help? [17:38] unixbocx: I hope that helps some === joaopinto_brb is now known as joaopinto [17:39] warinthepocket: windows doesnt read zfs right? [17:39] sidewalk: nope [17:39] thanks Ravahan, you've been a big help, shame my nickname is unixbocx and asking simple unix box question lmao.. [17:39] sidewalk, will is be shared with windows boxes? [17:39] sidewalk: windows won't read half of the file systems you can use [17:39] Gah. I can't syncronize my iPod with Banshee nor gntpod.. It says "reading Joels iPod" but nothin happens [17:39] unixbocx: Hey, np man. I'm glad to give something back here. I've been pestering these guys off and on all week. [17:40] and in gtkpod it syncronizes but nothin gets transfered even thou gtkpod says it i [17:40] s [17:40] someone help me set up skype in ubuntu??? [17:40] Halitech: xorg.conf is empty [17:40] !skype [17:40] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [17:40] i might connect it to windows boxes [17:40] krishmish: What's the problem? [17:40] warinthepocket, it should have something [17:40] lol, ok, unplugging now to reset the network up and check out DMZ [17:40] i cant hear my voice in the test call [17:40] Halitech: not a thing [17:41] candrodor: i set the audio options to pulse [17:41] sidewalk, then if you might connect to windows, NTFS or FAT32 are your best options [17:41] okey, thanks :P [17:41] warinthepocket, how are you opening it? cli or nautilus? [17:41] well, i dont have any windows boxes [17:41] Halitech: less shows nothing, ls -l shows it's size is 0 [17:41] maybe i should just go for zfs [17:41] Halitech: cli [17:41] candrodor: sound in : pulse [17:41] krishmish: If it's the problem I had, you need to set Mic Boost on 'cause otherwise the mic won't come off loudly enough. [17:41] nto sure. [17:41] how can i format the disk in ubuntu, is there some cute graphical interface? [17:42] warinthepocket, did you make sure the X11 was X11 not x11? [17:42] yep [17:42] it's /etc/X11/ [17:42] sidewalk, partition editor [17:42] <_42> sidewalk: yes sudo apt-get install gparted [17:42] can someone please kick and ban HrnyLindsey ? It's a spambot! [17:42] I suggest you ban HrnyLindsey; it's a bot that sends a /msg on /join: hi my name is lindsey im very horny please contact me on my page http://sxylindsey.webs.com i have pics and vids of my being cummed on my face [17:42] candrodor: there is no mic boost option [17:42] thanks guys, you are the world! :-) [17:43] in the old days one used fdisk ;-) [17:43] krishmish: double click on volume control up in top right corner by the time. Edit- > Preferences -> Mic Boost and Mic Capture [17:43] or perhaps cfdisk [17:43] warinthepocket, strange, usually at least has stuff that is commented out [17:43] Anyway, I'm failing to find which package contains `avisplit` I remember using that app to split AVI files into several pieces; aptitude avisplit shows no results neither does Synaptic Package Manager.... anyone know where I can get that app? [17:43] Hi, since upgrade from 8.something to 9.something, firefox doesn't have flash sound for my user (it does for user root). Deleting ~/.mozilla does not make a change. When I run gstreamer-properties, with the same settings for user thomas and user root, it only makes test sound for user root. Any clue what could be wrong? [17:43] krishmish: then go to the switches tab and tick Mic Boost. [17:43] Zoffix, avidemux? [17:43] Halitech, hmr... just had it installed and it doesn't contain avisplit [17:44] Lemme check the man page if avidemux can split [17:44] oh [17:44] Zoffix, I thought it did, if not there are other apps, check add/remove === _42 is now known as BillGates4ever [17:45] any luck, krishmish? [17:45] it doesn't seem to be able to create neither jfs nor xfs [17:45] Halitech: X starts up fine, i'm just wanting to change the keymap to dvorak [17:45] ext3 and ext4 yes, and fat32 and some others, but not xfs or jfs [17:45] Hmr, it got --autosplit option to split every $x bytes... avisplit used to have the -t option to split on times :| [17:45] just dropped in demoing linux to someone. they're disturbed by the CLI it seems [17:45] wtf happened to that app :| [17:45] <[victoria]> Do any of you use the Steam platform for gaming on linux? [17:45] candrodor: not yet [17:45] in the latest version of ubuntu, where is the recycling bin located? [17:45] hi [17:45] warinthepocket, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg pretty much only does the keyboard now [17:46] kenosethe [17:46] So, anyone can help? eee t91, video driver problems? [17:46] hmm [17:46] krishmish: I'm not sure if MicBoost will sort it or not, it's worth trying though, I think. That's all. Did you find it? [17:46] sidewalk: for xfs try sudo apt-get install xfsprogs then try gparted again [17:46] candrodor: no...it isnt working here [17:47] Is there a .kgb compressor for linux? [17:47] candrodor: in fact , skype hung up [17:47] I don't know then, I'm sorry. [17:47] Hello. I have upgraded my xubuntu from 9.04 to 9.10. I found that process named gnome-volume-control-pulse eated 50% of processor time. But gnome-volume-control-pulse are not in the list of installed packages (aptitude did not find it), so I can't remove it. [17:48] Why can't I get my ipod to work with gtkpod or banshee ?

(I think I already know) [17:51] BillGates4ever: I have a ipod video, 80gb black [17:51] Halitech, I found it; avisplit is in ``transcode'' package. [17:51] sobersabre: i'm a bit addled at the moment (sweetie is here) but it's your apt sources list [17:52] I've been tryin everything (which I can think of) [17:52] Zoffix, ok, I have that installed :) [17:52] I'm rather desperate here. I cannot print a multipage pdf document..... [17:52] militant: thanks, enjoy the sweets... I'm bewildered. [17:52] hehe [17:52] sobersabre: /etc/apt/sources.list [17:52] how do i mount an img with fuseiso and read the contents as user from /media/iso ? [17:52] hey, what was that channel called ubuntu-$something where peopled talked about mathematics, logic, physics, philosophy, et cetera? i forgot [17:53] militant: I'm looking at it as "the goat at the new gate" [17:53] martijn81: you don't. [17:53] !ot > dansa [17:53] dansa, please see my private message [17:53] /media is for root user to write. [17:54] sobersabre: and if i mount it in my home directory it would work? [17:54] Is printing yet another weak spot for Linux maybe? [17:54] sobersabre: huh? all i know is your /etc/apt/sources.list or one of the others in that dir are pointing at the install disk instead of the network repos [17:54] lol [17:54] Halitech: i think that is right; thanks much! [17:54] dansa, np [17:54] <_Lucretia_> my upgrade from 8.04 -> 8.10 failed on updata-manager, it then stated that the upgrade will be aborted (this was at the last steps), I've tried to update the update-manager, but apt says it's the latest version [17:55] i'm out gl :) [17:55] BillGates4ever: I'm tryin now again and when tryin to synconize it says "can't find the ipod firewire id" [17:55] hey, gnu ubuntu is lead by a company, right? [17:55] BillGates4ever: Do you know anythin about this? It bugs the heck out of me [17:56] kanonikal? [17:56] Agat0n: I had an ipod touch ( not supported) , any try Rhythmbox -> http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/07/03/how-to-manage-your-ipod-using-rhythmbox-in-ubuntu/ [17:56] BillGates4ever: I'll give that a try, thanks [17:56] dansa, its not gnu ubuntu, just ubuntu and yes, it is 'owned' by canocal [17:56] Ok, no worries I'll boot into xp to get my work done. [17:56] hi ;) [17:56] ma qui si parla anche in italiano??? [17:57] !ubuntu > Halitech [17:57] why is 'system:/media' empty? [17:57] Halitech, please see my private message [17:57] *canonical [17:57] hey anybody knows how i can put emerald my default window manager as to run i have to run emerald --replace each time ? [17:57] Akranis, thanks, can never get the spelling right on that :) [17:57] :P [17:58] Bookman: I'd love to know whether printing's a weak spot or not, but as it is, I can't get it to work. trying to get a printer working by SAMBA, but it needs a driver, which I can't get because it's on a CD and I can't get the CD drive showing. linux<3 hehe [17:58] why is 'system:/media' empty when there are drives installed? [17:58] Halitech: what's canocal's take on the fsf stand that systems shouldnt include proprietary software? [17:58] Does anyone here use blender and has gotten it to work alongside Compiz? [17:58] why is 'system:/media' empty when there are drives installed? [17:58] why is 'system:/media' empty when there are drives installed? [17:58] why is 'system:/media' empty when there are drives installed? [17:58] Blooper: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:58] Blooper, /media is usually for removable drives [17:58] and i have 4 devices in [17:59] Do CDs count as removable? [17:59] dansa, they don't include any for legal reasons [17:59] :P [17:59] <_Lucretia_> so, will i be able to reboot or not? [17:59] they open with autoplay but wont appear in the folder [17:59] Blooper, they could be going into /mnt [17:59] ?? [17:59] candrodor: yeah, seems to be a weak spot.... [17:59] Blooper: media can be mounted anywhere on the system :P [18:00] candrodor: I got my work done on an xp machine. [18:00] but all my drives have been there before but now cannot be found [18:00] Blooper: df -h [18:00] Okay, so I have the repository link for Gens/GS, and I have Software Sources up, but when I click on Add and paste it into the list of Third Party apps, the only option I get is "Cancel". I'm sure I'm leaving out something that's common sense to a normal Linux user here.... Is this correct or should I be adding something before or after? http://gs_server.gerbilsoft.ddns.info/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=gens.git;a=summary [18:01] Blooper: are the volumes mounted? [18:01] yes [18:01] Blooper: where are they mounted to? [18:01] anyone with emerald experience on Ubuntu 9.04 ? [18:01] Ravahan: deb http:// [18:01] Do you need ot create the folder which you're mounting to in advance or does it get created and removed as it mounts/umounts? [18:02] candrodor: the folder has to exist [18:02] candrodor: create the folder aka mount point [18:02] darthanubis: Okay, I'll try that again here. Anything supposed to go on the end? [18:02] So maybe my problem with the CD drive not showing is that there aren't any folders in /mnt or /media to be mounted to? [18:02] take a look at /etc/apt/source.lists for the correct format [18:04] darthanubis: Alright, I stuck a little text on the end and it'll let me add it. Let me see if it actually functions. [18:04] evening all [18:04] hi anyone know what extended ACLs are [18:04] hi, i have a big problem, i need your help!!! [18:04] candrodor: you can mount to /mnt or /media [18:05] BillGates4ever: Seems to be the same problem.. it just searches but finds nothin [18:05] Only, the folders are there, but I didn't see them earlier. Hm. I'm just confused. [18:05] warinthepocket, actually you can mount anywhere, I have 2 drives mounted in my home folder [18:06] Can I format my ipod in ubuntu? [18:06] hi anyone here familiar with ssh tunneling? [18:06] rad182, if not here try #linux channel :) [18:06] okay :D [18:06] my ubuntu show NO INIT FOUND. TRY PASSING INIT=BOOTARG. ANY IDEA?? [18:07] Agat0n: http://www.rockbox.org/ [18:07] Agat0n: Do you mean restore? [18:07] magg: reinstall [18:07] Agat0n: wish i could help you more , you could try mounting it manualy but quite complicated. [18:07] I'm getting this when running apt-get update: W: Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty-updates/Release Unable to find expected entry main/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?) [18:07] if i reinstall, my programs will lose?? [18:08] masterkoppa: Yeah, set it to 0 [18:08] Can someone tell me a quick way to strip the filepath from find results? I only want the filename, not the full path [18:08] is there no i386 packages on the main archive of canonical ?1 [18:08] Agat0n: run dmesg | tail when you connnect it and paste bin the results for me. [18:08] magg, yes [18:08] Agaton: Well you need iTunes to do that and you can't run itunes under wine. [18:09] How can I tell if there is a floppy disk being read and mounted to /media/floppy or not, given it may well be an empty disk? [18:09] hi, which is the Super Key? Compiz is configured on my laptop to use the Super Key to start the Expo effect. [18:09] masterkoppa: I can use me gals computer and reformat it [18:09] sorry, its the unique solution?? [18:09] candrodor: if it is mounted it will show up in the mount command [18:09] You can also do it with VirtualBox if you have a Windows disc [18:09] Agat0n: If it's windows or mac, yeah [18:09] Aight [18:10] Agat0n: For the future you might want to search in the forums for a way to do this with Virtual Box [18:10] jatt: it's the windows key (on a windows keyboard) [18:10] masterkoppa: Sure, I'm havin a lg x110.. It's to slow for a virtualbox.. [18:10] jatt, super is one of the keys with a logo [18:11] when playing wop i can be in game for like 2-5 mins and ubuntu shuts down any suffestions? [18:11] Well, I'm not sure what I screwed up but Synaptic keeps telling me its already running so I'm going to restart Ubuntu here. [18:11] durt: fixje: thanks you are right it's the Windows key :) [18:12] fat32 it should be, right? [18:12] Thanks th0r! Looks like the only removable thing I can get linux to pick up at the moment is my ipod. funsies. [18:13] i have no sound on dv41155se [18:13] kfan: check linlap, i've fixed my sound from there [18:13] hey guys. so my wifi card not showing when typing lspci or dmesg after it froze going into suspend mode has kinda been solved. I can activate the wlan card through bios. THO every time I turn off the computer and start it again the wlan card is automatically disabled again. [18:13] Any ideas on how to solve this ? [18:14] is there a command that copies the contents of a file to the clipboard? [18:15] Hi, does wubi work with kubuntu? [18:15] how do i get compiz working in jaunty? i have a dell inspiron e1705 [18:16] mlm all [18:17] há usuários de ubuntu linux do brasil online agora? [18:17] Hi, somebody can suggest me a good tutorial resource for learn to manage Linux?? [18:17] JPSman, yes, there's a dropdown box that let's you choose kubuntu, xubuntu, etc. [18:18] in shell how to execute a command and return immediately [18:18] ? [18:18] can someone install with this: http://pastebin.com/m717e3231 [18:18] silv3r_m00n: if you add an ampersand (&) at the end of the command you will get the prompt immediately, but the command will continue in the background until completion [18:19] fine [18:20] I really hope this works, I'm so tired of iTunes and windows but I can't live without my ipod.. === exodusMS is now known as exodus_ms [18:20] error404notfound, hmm try -xvvf IP-Country-2.26.tar , is the file there ? [18:21] any smart way of seeing how your http server looks from the outside world? [18:21] gajop: point your browser to it ? [18:21] Agat0n, have you tried mounting manualy ? [18:22] gajop: you can open firefox and type 'localhost' [18:22] I am using ev-do wireless USB dongle (from, ZTE) for my internet connection. in a forum, I read that "some versions of Ubuntu do not perform as well with wireless (signal strength wise)." is it true ?! [18:22] mre_: Yes, but I'm formating my ipod on me gals computer now [18:22] jcastro, well I already downloaded the kubuntu ISO and would like to use that for my install instead of having wubi download an entire other copy of kubuntu [18:22] And I'll give it a go again [18:22] th0r, i'm aware, i was wondering about permissions and such [18:22] gajop: that should be the same server access the rest of the world gets [18:22] Format: Windows (Should be like that, rite?) [18:23] gajop: you can also address your public ip...it will go out to your isp and then come back in [18:23] hi i can't get fuseiso to work on my own home directory, anynone can help please? [18:23] $ ls -ltr [18:23] ls: kan geen toegang krijgen tot iso: Toegang geweigerd [18:23] totaal 698676 [18:23] d????????? ? ? ? ? ? iso [18:23] martijn81: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:23] th0r, no, it won't, you usually can't access your ip if you're behind a router, at least i never managed to do it [18:24] gajop, I know alot of people say they can't but it has always worked for me [18:24] gajop: I used to do it all the time...your default route should take the packet out, then the isp should reroute it back to you [18:24] gajop, use some proxy [18:24] tor [18:24] hm, ye, ok, thanks [18:25] yeah, tor.. also usually most ISPs got some proxy set up [18:25] anyone know why my computer would just shut down after being in world of padman for like 5 mins?? [18:25] hi [18:25] hi [18:25] martijn81: what command are you using to mount the iso? [18:25] is there a utility to measure cpu speed ? Not from /proc/cpuinfo or from dmesg. [18:25] kfan: it didn't like the game? [18:25] h [18:25] lol [18:26] kfan, trying to tell you to do some work instead? :O [18:26] kfan: is it a laptop? [18:26] is there a utility to create automagically sources.list file ? like source-o-matic once used to do ? [18:26] yea [18:26] :( no work PADMAN lol [18:26] nsahoo, system load monitor? [18:26] yes its a dv41155se [18:26] nsahoo: rt-click the panel and add the cpufreq applet. Anytime you are looking for an app to do X, search synaptic is the fastest and easiest way besides searching google [18:26] nsahoo: there are several, but I don't know where they get the info from...conky, gkrellm, and the gnome panel applet come to mind [18:27] th0r: i use this: $ sudo fuseiso /path/to/img ~/iso [18:27] nsahoo, whats wrong with /proc/cpuinfo? ksensors got an applet for cpu speed, i bet gnome applets exist too for it [18:27] darthanubis: that one just reads prod/cpuinfo [18:27] hmm kfan run world of padman from terminal and grep to a fille eg padman > some file. [18:27] kfan: it is probably overheating and shutting down to protect itself [18:28] nsahoo: of course, what do you mean "measure"? [18:28] martijn81: and you have a folder named iso in your home dir (and it should be owned by root:root) [18:28] nsahoo, but i bet all those read /proc/cpuinfo [18:28] darthanubis: run something and see how fast it runs [18:28] nsahoo: ok, that is called a benchmark [18:28] and again, search synaptic [18:28] will try... i would say it was over heating but i have a big house fan blowing on it and pc is cold lol [18:28] XLV: I think /proc/cpuinfo is wrong in the case of overclocked systems [18:29] th0r: both is the case [18:29] martijn81: 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/iso [18:29] nsahoo, if it reads cpu id string, surely [18:29] darthanubis: 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] nsahoo, try lshw [18:29] no [18:29] XLV: aha [18:30] darthanubis: no .. ? dmesg prints a Mhz speed [18:30] dmesg is not outputting any kind of BENCHMARK === _rubydia_ is now known as _rubydiamond [18:30] martijn81: oh yeah...don't use ~...use /home/ [18:31] need help with this http://tinyurl.com/luw5ve [18:31] darthanubis: prints [ 0.000000] Fast TSC calibration using PIT [18:31] [ 0.000000] Detected 2992.320 MHz processor. [18:32] can someone help me? i can't enable compiz at all for some reason. the only reason i think it could have stopped working is, i made a guest account and removed the password something might have gone wrong. how do i re enable compiz & emerald === _rubydiamond is now known as optimus_ === optimus_ is now known as optimusprime_ === burkmafk is now known as burkmat === optimusprime_ is now known as megatron [18:32] nsahoo: so what, that is NOT a benchmark [18:33] th0r: this worked!! thanks a lot man [18:33] What's better? A live CD or the Wubit installer? [18:33] darthanubis: so, is it reading off of something? [18:33] ugh [18:33] Wubi* [18:34] how can i tell to apt do not attempt to upgrade a specific package [18:34] ? [18:34] Edson`, 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 imo [18:35] leleobhz: read how to use synaptic [18:35] true install? [18:35] cd ./config [18:35] Edson`, actually creating a partition and installing on native ext3 [18:35] Edson`: install to hard drive=true install [18:35] ah === HentaiCr1zy is now known as HentaiCrazyDotNe [18:35] doesn't wubi do that? [18:35] leleobhz: aptitude hold === HentaiCrazyDotNe is now known as HentaiCrazyAdmin [18:36] darthanubis, technically wubi would be a true install under that definition [18:36] if it did we would have not differentiated [18:36] fixje: oh, aptitude can manage this? dunno [18:36] very nice! [18:36] is therea program thatll let you record your screen? [18:36] wubi is a joke of an install, an not considered a full install === monika is now known as Guest1423 [18:37] installing linux INSIDE of windows is LAME [18:37] Edson`, technically it does install but it runs on a loop mounted file [18:37] lol [18:37] and hence your install would be LAME [18:37] leleobhz: yes, but you may never use apt after that, because it doesn't know that the package is blocked [18:37] but it is a nice option for the timid and lazy [18:37] fixje: ive the idea of use apt.conf [18:37] or apt pinning [18:37] grkblood13: gtk-recordmydesktop === megatron is now known as Optimus_ [18:37] but i dont know how to do [18:37] something along those lines [18:37] darthanubis, and those who don't know the difference [18:37] fixje: will synaptic recognize the hold? [18:38] leleobhz: never tried that because i just use aptitude === Optimus_ is now known as bumblebee [18:38] can someone please help me? i can't get compiz working anymore. [18:38] is there any real benifit from using kbuntu or any of those other bunut OS over Ubuntu jaunty [18:38] th0r: if synaptic is just a graphical frontend for aptitude, yes. [18:38] ? [18:38] leleobhz: if you'd followed my advise you'd be done by now [18:38] re install it [18:38] but i don't know if it is [18:38] But the wubi install is Ubuntu right? not some imitation or a 'demo?' [18:38] fixje: worked like a glove, but damn gnome update manager is borring me [18:38] darthanubis, excluding the fact it should be quite slower, it has full access to all hw.. its not THAT lame [18:38] HentaiCrazyAdmin: absolutely NOT [18:38] darthanubis: ? [18:39] HentaiCrazyAdmin, the DE is just a frontend so its just a personal preference [18:39] lame [18:39] ohh [18:39] thanks [18:39] i'm very use to ubuntu now maybe I'll put it on my net book [18:39] Edson`, yes, it is a full install, just doesn't have the full speed advantage of running on ext3 [18:40] full install without the full speed, lol [18:40] yeah, that full [18:40] * darthanubis rolls eyes [18:40] o.0 [18:40] * leleobhz see puritans here [18:40] full of crap [18:40] Ah so it's just a bit slower [18:41] think: linux clains to be a versatile system [18:41] of course [18:41] so why cannot i use this? [18:41] it aint NATIVE install [18:41] darthanubis, its not a demo or limited in anyway (so I've read anyway) so it technically would be a full install [18:41] ok "full install" but not native [18:41] hence a waste of time [18:41] speed [18:41] and space [18:41] not l33t [18:41] darthanubis: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:42] from 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] darthanubis, I agree, native installs are better but if someone didn't think it was a good idea for newbies, they wouldn't have done it [18:43] Halitech: the idea was to get windows users [18:43] pacific-blue: I always just create a txt file in ~ and then read it into cron with crontab [18:43] who could not follow directions enough to reboot and run the live cd. Or too lame to read the directions for a dualboot [18:44] darthanubis, 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 it [18:44] hi all. How can I remove the password for my ssh-key from ubuntus/gnomes cache?? [18:44] matter of fact, no directions are required these days for dual boot [18:44] rm ~/.ssh [18:44] Hey guys my wireless works fine but I was wondering if someone could recommend any apps to help diagnose issues when they occur, such as a weak signal. I can't find anything on synaptic. [18:45] I have been messing around on Ubuntu jaunty 64 bit trying to get getlibs to install Gens/GS (32 bit Sega emulator) without much success. Any idea what I could've screwed up that would cause update manager to hang and/or report there's another instance of Synaptic running? [18:45] th0r: ok, but this should really be fixed. It's never good when an application leads you down a broken path. [18:45] a quick google search would answer 99.9% of these questions [18:45] !google | darthanubis [18:45] darthanubis: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [18:45] darthanubis, but someone decided it wouldn't be nice to tell new users to RTFM [18:45] I uninstalled wubi in windows and the faux grub on system startup is still there [18:45] nope. I rm my id_dsa file but I can still connnect with ssh-server that requires the key! [18:45] any help? [18:46] I'm having issues running vmware server on my jaunty kubuntu system. When the system boots, the services are started, but if I start or resume a VM, the bridged network adapter doesn't work. If I restart the vmware service (maybe after I log in?), then the vms have networking. [18:46] how does Evolution know which apps to open when it gets an attachment? [18:46] NetworkManager? [18:46] ctmjr: relax, If you've been paying attention I have not told anyone anything but the answers to their questions. I know our user base is lazy [18:47] ctmjr, 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 hands [18:47] It is too bad ubuntu's policy is not rtfm. That is the best advise to give ANYONE in ANY field of endeavor [18:48] <_marcel> hello [18:48] course it could be that for many here english is a second language and they can't make heads or tails out of google's answers [18:48] unfortunately much docs are written to be read by people who already know the answer [18:48] Because AFTER RTFM, and a google search we'd have a better pool of questions to field [18:48] anyway I digress [18:48] <_marcel> [18:48] <_marcel> hello, I wonder which is more secure the ubuntu or fedora. [18:48] EDinNY: wrong [18:48] <_marcel> please [18:49] How do I delete wubi's grub?? [18:49] _marcel: not an answerable question [18:49] _marcel: which everone has the better sysadmin [18:49] ever one [18:49] _marcel, depends on who and how they set things up, if they are stupid the system isn't going to matter [18:49] grub uninstall? [18:49] <_marcel> oh [18:50] <_marcel> installed ubuntu 9.04 [18:50] it didnt save the log when i launched padman cuz it shutdown :( [18:50] <_marcel> my desktop [18:50] <_marcel> in my nootbook installed fedora 11 [18:50] <_marcel> ubuntu and fedora very good [18:50] EDinNY - and what is that? a windows application? [18:50] hey all ... i've got 9.04 installed on a laptop, and networkmanager says "wireless is disabled" ... but iwconfig and lspci both see and identify the card. ideas? [18:50] _marcel, if you go with the defaults and don't go enabling root and use a secure password, you should be fine with either [18:50] I have been messing around on Ubuntu jaunty 64 bit trying to get getlibs to install Gens/GS (32 bit Sega emulator) without much success. Any idea what I could've screwed up that would cause update manager to hang and/or report there's another instance of Synaptic running? [18:51] EDinNY - I uninstalled wubi from windows, but the grub on system start up is still there asking if I want ubuntu or windows [18:51] how do I rembove this [18:51] <_marcel> ok [18:51] can somone chat me if they can help me with world of padman and my computer shutting down? [18:51] <_marcel> [18:51] <_marcel> i'ma fan of both [18:52] my cat's litter box keeps getting stuff in it. what can I do about it. [18:52] How do I type "extra" characters like the accented 'i' in 'gracias', or the tilde-n as in "espanol"? And what is the correct name for such characters? [18:52] epistax: install redhat [18:52] epistax, get rid of the cat [18:52] epistax: sudo apt-get clean it [18:52] JPSman: Are you trying to just make it boot directly to windows? [18:53] people are apparently more experts on cats than wireless networks here :-P [18:53] JPSman: Sorry, I'm just catching the end there. [18:53] sudo rmdir litterbox [18:53] damn you wifi radar. you're two feed from the router. [18:53] Ravahan, yes, without the faux grub that wubi installs. Where does it do this BTW? [18:53] sudo rm -rf cat [18:53] lol [18:54] Ravahan, thank you for resonding [18:54] what sets file associations in Evo? Using Evolution in Kubuntu and it does not know what to open. Do I need to install ubunut-destop to get it? [18:54] JPSman: If you want it to automaticly boot into windows, its quite easy to overwrite Grub. Do you have your windows disk? [18:54] I believe this time my ipod will work [18:54] JPSman: No problem. I'm actually here looking for answers too. #ubuntu has been great to me over this last week helping me get used to the OS. [18:54] why do I have 5 boot entries for one install of ubuntu?? 2.6.28-11- generic and same recovery and.... 2.6.28-13- generic and recovery and... memtest?? I only need one ubuntu and one xp on boot [18:55] Ravahan somewhere around here. But why would I need a windows disk? shouldn't wubi be completly removed under the control panel? where does this grub install to? [18:55] Grub takes the place of the Master Boot Record [18:56] dads: when the system upgrades the kernel it keeps the older versions available in case something goes wrong with the new version [18:56] sorry, that was directed at JPSman [18:56] Ravahan, how can I edit this in windows? [18:56] I have to leave.. can someone email me a way to remove the older kernels hjcass@gmail.com thanks [18:56] How do I type "extra" characters like the accented 'i' in 'gracias', or the tilde-n as in "espanol"? And what is the correct name for such characters? [18:56] Ravahan, safely [18:56] JPSman: Directly from Windows, I'm not sure, but simply running... I think its "fixmbr" from the recovery console will re-write the mbr [18:57] JPSman: Let me confirm that real quick, eh? [18:57] Ravahan, please do and thank you :OD [18:57] brb lads [18:57] jpsman, what version of Win do you have? [18:58] dads: putting your e-maIl address in a room with 1400+ people is not a good idea [18:58] <_marcel> exists channel Ubuntu from brazil? [18:59] EDinNY: XP [18:59] !br | _marcel [18:59] _marcel: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [18:59] ctmjr: I just figured he was lonely [18:59] boot your install disk to a dos prompt and type fixmbr [18:59] <_marcel> ok thanks [19:00] Is there an easier way to type characters like "í" than to hold down Ctrl+Shift and type "u00ed"? [19:00] th0r: not for long [19:00] What does fixmbr do exactly? [19:00] dads: leave your home address and someone will come over and do it while your away [19:00] candrodor: it fixes the mbr [19:00] Put in a Windows Boot Loader? [19:00] EDinNY, is that the only way to edit the MBR? [19:00] candrodor, it repairs the windows boot loader [19:00] fixes Master Boot Record (MBR) [19:00] JPSman: 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 drive [19:00] So if there isn't a windows boot loader in there in the first place, it won't work? [19:01] jpsman, you can dd an MBR to the beginning of your hard drive [19:01] Excuse me. How would one make a launcher on the desktop which would point to internal drives? [19:01] JPSman: Which is done to clear out boot sector viruses, and will also overwrite grub (which is the boot loader for ubuntu) [19:01] jpsman, 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 back [19:01] izzy: open nautilus (the file manager) and drag the drive icons to the desktop? [19:02] did 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] JPSman: The next time you boot your PC, it should go directly to your windows install. [19:02] EDinNY: That's really cool, I didn't know grub did that. [19:02] th0r: I tried that it tried to copy the whole drive. [19:02] EDinNY, no I uninstalled wubi from windows add/remove. Well, thing is i'd like to install kubuntu now and the old grub is still there [19:02] is there a way of removing dead files in Banshee... as in songs that don't link to anywhere [19:02] it didn't happen in any other types of versions but now in 9.04 i am facing this problem, i have the default clearlook theme [19:03] so I supposed i'll have to fixmbr before I can write another grub? [19:03] plz help me there is no windows picker applet in the netbook remix [19:03] and i use the dell 530N desktop which comes with preinstalled ubuntu 8.04 but i upgraded to 9.04 [19:03] I told you 3 ways to fix it. This is multiple choice. choose [19:03] izzy: try right click on the folder you want and choose 'create shortcut' [19:03] izzy: I use xfce and am working from memory [19:04] izzy: VERY volatile memory [19:04] th0r: Not trying for a folder. Trying to put my internal drive and Cd on my desktop as icons. [19:04] i cannot see the panel in unr [19:04] izzy: in terminal type gconf-editor browse to /apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible put check mark [19:04] th0r: I appreciate you trying to help. Thank you. [19:05] izzy: the hard drive is / and the cd should be /media/cdrom [19:05] izzy: sometimes the internal drive is identified as 'file system' [19:05] I have a desktop and a laptop, i don't want to update 2 times from mirrors. I tried to look at apt-cacher-ng and apt-proxy but they use separate cache than apt's cache. Can somebody help ? [19:06] i meant I have this config currently, desktop_source:deb_mirror, desktop runs cacher, laptops_mirror:desktop_cacher , but this config does download 2 times [19:06] izzy: (starting gnome in the vm...give me a sec) [19:06] Th0r: The only thing that confounds me about linux is this. [19:06] izzy: and the answer is........... [19:06] Alright, so my synaptic hangup just resolved, it looks like. It threw a giant list of what looks like all my repositories at me and said it couldn't download the repository indexes. Should I just reinstall Ubuntu again? It didn't start hanging up until I tried to add a repository for Gens/GS, but that repository has been removed via Software Sources. Does anyone have any ideas that may be helpful whatsoever? [19:07] Nope. [19:07] izzy: (slow vm) [19:07] Th0r: Not working. [19:07] Ravahan, did you reload after making the change to the repo? [19:07] How do I move the panel from my left monitor, to my right monitor? [19:08] Halitech, I tried, but it kept either hanging up or giving me an error about Synaptic already running. I'm kind of nervous to open it again because it took like 20 mins to time out. [19:08] izzy: yeah...not working for me either. A project to fill the day [19:08] Halitech: Give it a whirl you think? [19:08] Ravahan, ok, open a terminal and run sudo aptitude update [19:08] izzy: give me a minute...I'll get it [19:08] hey mre [19:08] th0r: Thank you. [19:08] Halitech: Alrighty, thanks so much for responding. [19:09] izzy: got it [19:09] izzy: right click on the desktop and choose Create Launcher [19:10] izzy: for Type choose location [19:10] Halitech: Okay, it returned a bunch of error "404 Not Found"s [19:10] i made swap partition and i want it to swap on automatically , how ! [19:10] Ravahan, ok, use pastebin and give us the results of cat /etc/apt/sources.list [19:10] izzy: for name put Hard Drive, and for location put / [19:10] izzy: click on the icon and find one you like [19:10] izzy: and click ok. [19:11] hey mre u there [19:11] izzy: the cd location should be /media/cdrom or /media/cdrom0 [19:11] wow [19:11] hey all, i just upgraded from intrepid to jaunty. i have both gnome and kde installed, and now, in kde, i can't get any sound for any multimedia (mythtv, avis, mp3s, etc). [19:11] Th0r: Perfect. thank you so much. [19:12] sound works fine in gnome [19:12] any ideas? [19:12] izzy: and thanks to Sun for Virtual Box [19:12] sound doesn't work in programs using sdl: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1221475 [19:12] Halitech: This is pretty long. http://pastebin.com/d67ae459d [19:12] kfan, no mre is not here [19:12] i still haven't gotten help yet [19:12] Ravahan, give me a sec [19:12] i've had this problem for months [19:12] i made swap partition and i want it to swap on automatically , how ! [19:12] Halitech, No problem mate, take your time. [19:13] aboleth: you are going to find it hard to locate someone with experience with sdl [19:13] Th0r: VB is cool. :) [19:13] mre u thgere? [19:13] th0r: someone who knows about pulseaudio or other sound systems could be helpful too [19:13] there [19:13] th0r: should i go on #sdl? [19:14] aboleth: have no idea...I am someone with no experience in sdl [19:14] bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb [19:14] I have problems with wow, someoby got someexperience? it laggs like shit, worse than windows.. [19:14] the .img file for ubuntu 9.04 netbook remix gives a kernel panic error when I try to boot live from a usb. [19:14] anyone else seen this? [19:15] Ravahan, I'm not sure (hopefully someone else will jump in here) but I don't think it should have -i386 in the deb source lists [19:15] Halitech, I was messing around with getlibs earlier trying to get a stupid emulator to run [19:15] anyone know whats safe to remove from startup [19:15] Halitech, I've not had a lot of luck getting anything 32 bit to run here. Its a bit frustrating [19:16] as well as what service are safe to stop? [19:16] Ravahan, are you running 64bit? [19:16] Halitech, Yessir [19:16] has anyone installed ubuntu netbook on a mini 9 that can help me? [19:16] Ravahan, then definately shouldn't have anything -i386 in there [19:16] Halitech, I have no idea how it got there lol [19:17] Halitech, Maybe a result of getlibs installation? [19:17] Ravahan, the repos work if you look http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty-updates/ [19:17] Ravahan, could be [19:18] how can I stop the update notifier to stop from launching at start up? [19:18] Halitech, Yeah, that link opened up [19:18] Ravahan, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove all the -i386 and then save the file and then run sudo apt-get update again [19:18] can somebody post their apt's sources.list ? [19:18] Halitech: Sounds like a plan. Give me a min to run that [19:18] Halitech: What's gksudo do, btw? [19:18] sobersabre: http://pastebin.com/f157449f8 [19:19] sobersabre: for jaunty === kiaas_ is now known as Bob_Dole [19:19] sobersabre, I would but I don't think the debian list would do much good :) [19:19] gangil: uninstall update-notifier [19:19] Ravahan, gksudo is the proper way to run sudo for a graphical app [19:19] Ravahan: its for running gui apps with elevated priveledges, sudo for gui apps is incorect and can break ownerships [19:20] hey who was helping me with padman ??/ [19:20] Aaah, ok [19:20] !gksudo | Ravahan [19:20] Ravahan: 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) [19:21] hi all [19:21] Ravahan: so when you see sudo gedit, it is wrong, use gksudo gedit. kde has kdesudo [19:21] thanks th0r [19:23] ActionParsnip: Good to know. See, this is why #ubuntu is great for this kind of thing. I actually ran sudo gedit yesterday trying to fix something [19:23] please can anyone tell me if they faced the problem with the crashing of the gnome panels? [19:23] who was helping me with padman?> [19:23] Halitech: Its still running [19:23] th0r my computer is showing high temp. in gkrellm ,I dont know why normally it shows ~10 C less [19:23] or does everyone just use kde and forget about gnome? [19:23] gangil: move it out of the sun? [19:23] Ravahan, the edit or the update? [19:23] datta, I did a few weeks ago :) [19:24] It's night here :D [19:24] Halitech: The update. I'm seeing a lot of converting going on here. [19:24] ive got a main partition where most space is located mounted on /home. on that partition i have to fit home directories and samba-shares. is it "pretty" to categorized it by doing /home/users/ and /home/samba/ ? [19:24] Ravahan, ok, pastebin the output [19:24] please help with the fact that in 9.04 my alsa mixer, the volume comtroler and other elements from the panel crashes [19:24] hi [19:24] Halitech: and so far three errors "Binary / Source version mismatch, skipping" on all of them [19:25] Ravahan: if you use it extensively, yuo will get a situation like this: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/azureus/+question/72151 [19:25] how can i fix that? i have to manually put those back in everytime it crashes [19:25] hi all. i got a prob with movie player, it cant play dvd ? [19:25] Halitech: Will do [19:25] ufd, go for vlc [19:25] datta, ooo that';s not good is everything panel associated crashing? [19:25] !dvd | ufd [19:25] ufd: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [19:25] halitech, hi, i looked at the vls site but the download scare the **** of me [19:25] coz_: i didn't understand what you are asking about [19:25] !medibuntu [19:25] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [19:26] ufd: your trying to play commercial DVD's? [19:26] datta, ok alsamixer crashes the panel? [19:26] ufd, just install using synaptic or sudo apt-get install vlc in the terminal [19:26] sebsebseb, yeah [19:26] coz_ yes also the time and the system monitor that i put up crashes [19:26] bump [19:26] ActionParsnip: Well that looks like a giant pain in the butt. [19:27] datta, mm hold on [19:27] all right coz_ [19:27] ActionParsnip: 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] Hello , 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 ?) [19:28] Ravahan: lots, learning is good :D [19:28] ufd: 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 whatever [19:28] !medibuntu | ufd [19:28] ufd: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [19:28] halitechm i havent downloaded it yet cos i though there might be a working player in the system, i will try to download the app [19:28] viki27: try: amixer -q set PCM 100% unmute [19:28] viki27: could this be it? http://beyondteck.blogspot.com/2009/04/ubuntu-audio-does-not-work-static-sound.html [19:28] datta, ok you might want to try to reset gnome to defaults [19:29] datta, do you know how to do that? [19:29] ufd, vlc is the only one I find that works, just install it the way I said earlier [19:29] msg mre_ u there buddy sorry about that [19:29] kfan, mre is not online [19:29] :( [19:29] ActionParsnip: 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] halitech, the command line is ok, but the download page is a bit daunting [19:29] 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 restart [19:30] coz_: how do i do that [19:30] ufd, you don't need to download anything from the website [19:30] Halitech: Update; Its still doing its thing. Just keeping you posted. [19:30] ufd: I thought you wanted to play commercial DVD's, but it seems your talking about something else, well I just joined here [19:30] halitech, it said it couldnt find package [19:30] Ravahan: 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 linuxes [19:30] ActionParsnip: working like magic :) thanks [19:30] 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 restart [19:30] Ravahan, dang, thats strange [19:30] I'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.png [19:30] viki27: ;) i habve the same [19:30] coz_ alright i am doing for it then hope it goes all okay [19:30] ufd, do you have all the repos enabled? [19:30] viki27: it will go back after you reboot [19:31] wtf, there is an "ubuntu restaurant" [19:31] !language | uman [19:31] uman: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [19:31] viki27: i have the command in a script that runs at startup [19:31] Halitech: Hmmm not sure I like strange :( lol [19:31] coz_: is it supposed to say something in the terminal [19:31] lol, that's considered bad language [19:31] sorry, then [19:31] uman: theres a cola too. Its an african word meaning "together" [19:31] halitech, i dont know, but the the line says E: Couldn't find package in [19:31] because mine is totally blank [19:31] ActionParsnip: can you guide me how to create this kind of script ? [19:31] Ravahan, normally it should only take maybe 2 minutes on a slow connection [19:31] datta, no not really use sudo before the rm -rf [19:31] ActionParsnip: I'm having a good time with it. My first Linux OS. [19:31] uman: the three letter thing is, also kind of interesting what you put, but off topic [19:31] viki27: create a text file, paste that line in it [19:32] ohh [19:32] halitech, how do u repos enabled ? [19:32] ufd, okay, use pastebin and give us the results of cat /etc/apt/sources.list [19:32] viki27: and have the top line as: #!/bin/sh [19:32] Halitech: Well, each line is either a convert or a error. I gather its supposed to be downloading stuff rather than changing stuff? [19:32] datta, sorry about that the command is sudo rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity [19:32] Ravahan: 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 usable [19:33] ufd, Ravahan yeah, should be just checking the file lists to see if there is any newer versions of the propgrams you have installed [19:33] viki27: save the text file to ~ [19:33] coz_: well nothing seemed to have happned in the terminal it stays the same [19:33] hope that is the way it is supposed to go [19:33] viki27: you will need to chmod +x the file o make it executable [19:33] halitech, #deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 9.04 _Jaunty Jackalope_ - Release i386 (20090420.1)]/ jaunty main restricted [19:33] datta, mm ok restart x or log off and back on to test it [19:33] Halitech: here's a short example "Convert: libfreebob 1.0.11-1" [19:34] alrite i am going to log off and log back in so gonna be offline [19:34] hali 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 man [19:34] *sigh* guess I'll try another time Wish luck to every one else. [19:34] Ravahan, I wonder if you somehow had some of your files converted to 32bit [19:34] Halitech: 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 devistated [19:34] Is there any way to disable all tooltips???? [19:34] hi, I have a 24" DELL monitor and ubuntu does not recognize its correct resolution [19:34] viki27: if you remove the file extension, you can copy it to /usr/bin and it will be universally available [19:34] Halitech: You know, you might be onto something there... [19:34] ufd, thats it? 1 line? [19:34] giacomo: you need video drivers. lspci | grep -i vga [19:34] giacomo, get an NEC [19:34] Is there any way to disable all tooltips in ubuntu???? [19:35] Halitech: As I said, I have my /home on a different partition.... [19:35] well there's quite a few shall i put them up ? [19:35] Ravahan, much as I hate to suggest it, might be time to think of nuke and pave [19:35] ufd, yes, use pastebin though [19:35] thanks, this is the output giacomo@giacomo-laptop:~$ lspci | grep -i vga [19:35] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [19:35] halitech, whats pastebin, sorry i'm new to this [19:36] Halitech: 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] Xacarith: try channel #nvidia [19:36] !pastebin | ufd [19:36] ufd: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [19:36] Halitech: Could that explain why I couldn't get anything 32 bit to frigging load? [19:36] Ravahan, 32bit will run on a 64 bit machine [19:36] k [19:36] Halitech: That was my impression =\ [19:36] Halitech: lol [19:37] the strange thing is that the live image DID set the right resolution [19:37] all right, back to the default and back [19:37] Halitech: Well, maybe all this converting business will fix something eh? Here's hoping. [19:37] Ravahan, if you have 64bit and want to run 32bit apps then you need the 32bit libs to get it to work [19:37] giacomo: please tab complete my name at the start of each line if you are addressing me [19:37] hope now it fixes everything, btw does anyone know how to stop the beeping? [19:37] Is there any way to disable all tooltips in ubuntu???? [19:37] i hate that beep that's why [19:37] Ravahan, can hope, if not, might be time to reinstall [19:37] datta, did that work? [19:37] halitech, did u get it ? [19:38] ufd, get what? [19:38] coz_: 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] giacomo: http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/05/reverting-xorg-video-intel-driver-of.html [19:38] datta, ok :) [19:38] ActionParsnip, thanks I'll have a look [19:38] pastebin [19:38] so does anyone know how to stop the beep (system beep)? [19:38] halitech, pastebin [19:39] ufd, you need to copy and paste the link it gave you into here [19:39] ok, so NOW, after a reboot, completely randomly it seems, I have a CDRW drive and Floppy drive showing under Computer. [19:39] datta, is this beep happening when you type?

[19:40] datta, which for pidgin xchat or waht? [19:40] Halitech: 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 an [19:40] halitech, http://paste.ubuntu.com/233362/ [19:40] it's for chatzilla plugin in firefox [19:40] datta, did you check the settings for that in firefox chatzilla?

Apparently sun-java5-plugin works fine. [19:46] gangil: could you check if that is just a symlink please [19:47] Hilikus: I dont know that much :D [19:47] halitech, it eventually takes you here ? https://launchpad.net/~c-korn/+archive/vlc [19:47] unixbocx, 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 apache [19:47] gangil: do ls -l /usr/bin/firefox and tell me what you get [19:47] Hilikus: /usr/bin/firefox: symbolic link to `firefox-3.0' [19:47] lol ok ...i've tryed using a cname record that would point to my dyndns name server which on my ubuntu server has ddclient running to update dyndns [19:47] thanks guys [19:47] ufd, yes [19:47] i lost my symlink for some reason [19:48] but i wanted to make sure that it is a symlink [19:48] Hilikus: /usr/bin/firefox-3.0: symbolic link to `../lib/firefox-3.0.11/firefox.sh' [19:48] what's that?*symlink?

[19:49] prince_jammys: it should be the same i think [19:49] i have a linksys WRT54GX with SRX, looking throught it i'm finding it hard to find something about forwarding [19:49] my server is in the DMZ though [19:50] unixbocx, not the ideal way but you could use the dmz setting, just leaves you open to possible attacks [19:50] Hilikus: Is symlink , the link to the file which that particulaar command points to in the terminal? [19:51] gangil: no, symlinks are special files that point to other files or directories [19:51] The scroll wheel on my mouse (Trust MI-6950R) sends events to the gnome volume control instead of scrolling as it should, how could this be solved? [19:51] not just commands [19:51] halitech,can i use text edit or vi ? and what shall i put in exactly ?

[20:02] what 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] mankeletor, if you need cli multiuser, kill xorg. [20:02] this is an ubuntu 8.04 32-bit server. [20:02] halitech, i closed that text file which you asked me to add 2 lines to and now xterm is inflating something ?? [20:02] ?? [20:02] Hi.

[20:07] halitech..... [20:07] ActionParsnip: 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 though [20:07] ActionParsnip: yepp [20:08] m0r0n: sudo fuser -v /mountpoint [20:08] Halitech, its there but doesnt fire up, I mean it starts but closes after 1 second ?? [20:08] linduxed: then unmount the partition, create the subfolder in /home then edit fstab to reflect the change [20:08] or -vki to interactively kill the apps [20:08] m0r0n: well yeah, you use sudo [20:08] m0r0n: you don't need root EVER [20:08] ActionParsnip: i dont think you understood my question [20:09] ActionParsnip: i dont want to move the partition in itself [20:09] ActionParsnip: there is on action you need a real root (with eraly ubuntu-version) [20:09] ActionParsnip: i just want all the userdirs to be located under /home/users instead of /home [20:09] linduxed: can you please clarify, sounds like you want to move where you are mounting a partition from /home ro /home/user [20:09] ActionParsnip: the partition stays [20:09] ActionParsnip: if you boot and fsck will repair the drive, it ask for the root-password [20:09] ActionParsnip: Well I unmounted it now I want to mount it back in hope to make it read and write, how would I do that [20:09] ufd, ok, try running it from the terminal and see if its giving an error or some sort [20:10] m0r0n: sudo mount /dev/ /mount/point -o uid=1000 [20:10] halitech, http://paste.ubuntu.com/233384/ [20:11] ufd, got to love an error message that just says seg fault [20:11] linduxed: that'll either require changing the entries at /etc/passwd, or maybe the usermod command for existing users, and /etc/adduser.conf for future users [20:11] prince_jammys: adduser.conf already fixed [20:11] ActionParsnip: How do I find the mount point? [20:11] linduxed: (and maybe something else i'm not thinking of, for your new /home to work) [20:11] halitech, aha [20:11] prince_jammys: will check /etc/passwd [20:12] ufd, we can try to remove it, reboot and then reinstall and see if that makes a difference [20:12] linduxed: use vipw if you edit that file directly [20:12] hi.. [20:13] m0r0n: munt will tell you [20:13] halitech, remove the vlc app [20:13] iceroot: the bootup process is all as root so shuld not ask for a passowrd [20:13] ufd, yeah, sudo apt-get remove --purge vlc [20:13] halitech, shall i just reboot as u do in micro$oft [20:14] My vi editor is working awkwardly. [20:14] ufd, if you want to try that first [20:14] ActionParsnip: an early ubuntu-version was asking this, dont know the version anymore [20:14] halitech, ok try that first, thnx for ur help mate [20:14] iceroot: lsb_release -c will tell you [20:15] ActionParsnip: no, i mean that years ago i was using a version which was asking for the root-password .)

It doesn't respond to the arrow keys, as it should.What to do? [20:21] ask [20:21] vi editor is not working. It doesn't respond to the arrow keys, as it should.What to do? [20:22] saji: use "hjkl" keys [20:22] prince_jammys: ActionParsnip: so i just edited the /etc/passwd file with vipw, should i do something to /etc/shadow? [20:22] how do I get supertuxkart to go faster than like 4 fps? seems like this is the only game with this problem [20:22] i tried tat. [20:22] btw 4 is a total guess, but close [20:22] onetic.net [20:22] haha [20:22] Gah. Sorry. [20:22] Hey, Crayboff [20:22] solexious: dd if=/dev/dvd of=isoname bs=1024 perhaps? [20:23] sup mafia?

[20:23] linduxed: ive never had to edit those files so can't comment. They are very sensitive and may break your system [20:23] linduxed: no [20:23] Does anyone know a way to fool a router into thinking that im connecting from WAN port, instead of LAN? I basically need it to think that i am from outside, because it only allows telnet access to my ISP [20:24] legend2440, doesnt seem to help [20:24] Halitech: 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] linduxed: leave /etc/shadow alone. just change the new homedirs in /etc/passwd [20:24] legend2440, I suggest 2048 [20:24] ActionParsnip: i liked prince_jammys answer :-D [20:25] prince_jammys: thx, made me think of http://www.i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=21781 [20:25] My vi editor is not responding to the keyboard keys. [20:25] linduxed: 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] How do I connect to foonetic.net? [20:25] legend2440, 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] well i could log in with a test user after change so i think all is well [20:25] Sorry, probably a noobish question... [20:26] can i get help for ubuntu here? [20:26] Cripple: /server irc.foonetic.net [20:26] yes molina [20:26] Thank you. Christ.... lol [20:26] quit [20:26] My vi editor is not responding to the keyboard keys. [20:26] My vi editor is not responding to the keyboard keys.

[20:26] linduxed: good. i'm pretty sure that covers it, though i'd research to see if something was forgotten. [20:26] Hello all. Is anyone who is knowledgeable about install/grub available to helpa noob out of a hole? [20:26] hey folks. I installed the array kernel following the installation guide. Did a reboot. But uname -a still tells me I'm using the generic kernel. [20:27] linduxed: some other conf file that requires that you specify the default /home in your system, maybe. [20:27] When I did the install i notice there where two things that couldn't be performed due to missing kernel-headers-eeepc-blabla. So I did a apt-get install on these. Do I perhaps need to reinstall the array-kernel? [20:28] My vi editor is not responding to the keyboard keys.

[20:35] Is it possible to fool router iptables into thinking that I am connecting from WAN port (DSLAM), instead from LAN? Are there even any tools for spoofing ip packets on live? [20:35] if you put the CD in and run: sudo mount -a it should mount for you [20:35] anyone know what application i can use instead of tcpdump for wlans? [20:35] saji, not sure which one is based on who really [20:35] saji, buy they are very similar. [20:35] koltroll, does it offer syntax highlighting? [20:36] tj83: http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy [20:36] sidewalk: wireshark [20:36] prince_jammys, ty [20:36] saji, don't think so no [20:36] Anyone familiar with Open Sound? [20:37] koltroll, i need an editor with with syntax highlighting. [20:37] why does it haft to be console based + [20:37] Why not use something with a nice graphical interface ^^ [20:37] saji: I'm not sure...but I think nedit had syntax highlighting...been years since I looked at it [20:38] why not let him use what he wants to use, and fix the problem? [20:38] he should be able to use vim [20:39] prince_jammys, i would like to correct my Vi editor. [20:39] yes, i know. [20:39] .. /join #vim and ask there if you don't get a solution here. === Void is now known as vo|d [20:40] ... and look at the FAQ in the topic of the channel [20:40] prince_jammys. this is the first time i'm using IRC. [20:40] ok, type: /join #vim and ask there. also, once there, type /topic [20:40] and you'll see a link to their FAQ [20:40] bonjour [20:41] Hi. How can I get a version reply in Xchat? [20:41] prince_jammys, thnks. I'll try and be back. [20:41] soooooo i'm having problems installing kubuntu with wubi [20:42] Keiffer, /ctcp nick version [20:42] Can I ask? [20:42] *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] How do I uninstall grub4dos that came with Wubi? [20:42] Why need using Linux? [20:42] no need using linux [20:42] for desctop users... [20:43] many reasons [20:43] which? [20:43] in windows many programs [20:43] that's the downside [20:43] koltroll, thanks. Is there any way to spoof that? Instead of Ubuntu to show Windows? [20:44] Muad- you need to re-write to your master boot record (MBR) [20:44] Keiffer, no idea. probably [20:44] MadGhost: some upsides: free software, good community, security ... [20:44] Muad- 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 drive [20:44] MadGhost: there is no "need" to use it, however, if you're happy with what you have. [20:44] good community is very good, I'm agree [20:45] but security in new Windows 7 is very good too [20:45] it's not like Windows is the only other OS, either. [20:45] JPSman I attempted to do so as I found on the forums but I still get the same "error 17" on my windows drive. also I tried editing my menu.lst to show windows and cannot save anything to it. [20:45] MadGhost: /join #ubuntu-offtopic to discuss this. [20:45] prince_jammys> I want compare its two OS [20:46] thank you [20:46] MadGhost: do it in #ubuntu-offtopic [20:46] I got this error, [00000499] oss audio output error: cannot open audio device (/dev/dsp) and cant find out what is using the audio device? [20:46] MadGhost: here it's all support questions for the OS [20:46] Madghost>Linux is mostly virus safe. [20:47] No, in fact linux is not very virus safe - but there are few virusses for linux [20:47] curves hands is in fault at all [20:47] i think [20:47] linux dont have viruses but have exploits :D [20:48] There are just two viruses for linux [20:48] i'm comparing Windows and linux.

[20:49] MadGhost: you can also dual-boot (and a few other ways) if you'd like to run both linux and windows. please go to #ubuntu-offtopic to chat about this. [20:49] Can I get some help? [20:49] who is THE BOMB with wubi here? [20:50] let's move to #ubuntu-offtopic and discuss there.

How can I remove this? [21:00] JPSman: use your windows CD to fixmbr fixboot. this will reinstall NTLDR [21:00] ActionParsnip - I already did this and its still there [21:01] ActionParsnip - what is fixboot its own program? [21:01] JPSman: then I'd ask in ##windows as wubi + Ubuntu are no longer on your system [21:01] how do I update to the latest stable release? [21:01] JPSman: its a command in recovery console [21:01] manja: sudo update-manager -d [21:01] thx [21:02] I believe I have a UI (GUI?) problem. I have to double-tap the quote and double-quote keys to get one of them. It wreaks havoc in PHP. [21:02] manja: No [21:02] Pici, no ? [21:02] ActionParsnip - thnx i'm off to try it. Should I re-run fixmbr then fixboot? [21:02] manja: Use -p [21:02] manja: -d is for the lastest Development release. [21:02] JPSman: definately, if not. ask in ##windows [21:02] Pici: my bad [21:02] stercor, it sounds like you have the international keyboard set. [21:03] Pici, thanks!

[21:12] eth01: if it is automounted it should be in /media [21:12] ActionParsnip - that was a no go too, switching to ##windows [21:12] Kajakmandn: I might be wrong, but I think that Ubuntu 64 allows to run x32 files by default with no need to install anything. [21:12] where will i find my compactflash in ubuntu?

Is this the right place to ask a question about a configuration problem with ubuntu? [21:17] hey, 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] the wireless setup is such a pain. no settings work. [21:17] caMelCase: yes [21:18] hi trijntje [21:18] thx guys [21:18] , Is the 64bit driver available? [21:18] is vuze the best for torrent files? [21:18] i like it it syntax [21:18] prince_jammys, it says 8.04 but when I do sudo update-manager --dist-upgrade it says I have the latest version, this isn't right [21:18] well im growing a beard in anticipation of 9.10 [21:18] jonc101, not in anticipation for 9.10 but a beard still, keep it growing! [21:19] saji: downloaded original graphic driver from ATI in 64 bit linux file version [21:19] syntax, it works well. [21:19] Ima try it out [21:19] syntax: It depends, what do you want to do? Vuze is very extended, transmission is very simple, both download torrents ;) [21:19] I use to use it for windows but i havent did it for linux yet [21:19] syntax, other tools work also but fail for many details. [21:19] Word ? [21:19] Excel [21:19] Trijntje, transmission is buggy [21:19] syntax: it has quite a good level of config, and nice statistics [21:19] ok, I've got ubuntu 8.10 running a few month. Yesterday i had connected a second display (VGA) on my NVidia Geforce 6200. The primary display was and is already connected via DVI [21:20] !ati | kajakmanden [21:20] kajakmanden: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [21:20] installing now [21:20] syntax: transmission is bad, and it actually has lower transfer speeds [21:20] the: i use it every day, i have no problems with it [21:20] the Is it really? Trans works for me. How is it buggy? [21:20] , could you install it? [21:20] Trijntje: same, until my router blew [21:20] now my modem keeps dropping out [21:20] saji: no it is saying " sec.." [21:21] jerkman: did you try limiting the max amount of connections transmission can have? [21:21] how do I upgrade from 8.04 to 9.04 ? [21:21] saji: saying cant open file do to sign coding [21:21] I 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] Can someone tell me the command to switch to desktop 3? or to desktop 4? so I can create a shortcut. [21:21] Trijntje: just done it, but it would appear to have happened again... [21:21] It only comes with switch to desktop 1&2 [21:21] I can't seem to get my automatic nick completion to work. [21:21] manja: 8.04 --> 8.10 --> 9.04 in those two steps [21:22] erUSUL, ok then how do I upgrade to 8.10 ? [21:22] , ahat sort of package file is it? [21:22] jerkman: limit too how many? [21:22] !upgrade | manja [21:22] manja: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [21:22] well, i once lost all torrents since it somehow screwed. also transmission crashes quite frequently. it doesn't recheck the file as efficient as vuze. it redownloads more that it should. [21:22] erUSUL, thx [21:22] Trijntje: i can talk here, and continue downloading, but the http side dies on all pc's connected [21:22] Trijntje: 150 [21:22] i have a ups, and the power just went out and immediately came back on. I saw message popup, running on battery backup, but it no message it's resumed ac power [21:22] need help with wireless..when I do iwconfig I cannot get an access point [21:22] how do I check/change ups settings? [21:22] saji: i dunno iam a nooby in package and ubuntu in overall lol [21:23] as I did disconnect the second display and did reboot the system, the resolution of the primary display was set to 1024x768. Before it was at 1280x1024. [21:23] mcquaid: hover your mouse over the notifier [21:23] kajakmanden, did u try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto as said by ubottu. [21:23] I had to open the console and sudo nvidia-settings to store the right resolution in xorg.conf [21:24] jerkman: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 connections [21:24] saji: man... tryed all wont be long then i try something i know works killing ubuntu for vere lol [21:24] i'm running 9.04 and i want to know were is the startup directory? [21:24] not the resolution is right again but now I expect problems with the powersave mode [21:24] jonc101, the msg was a pop up, the notifier currently show nothing [21:24] Question i just did a server install and i skipped the network install [21:24] mcquaid: are you on a laptop? [21:24] anyway to run that now [21:24] th0r: i need to extract an .img ? [21:24] no [21:24] desktop with ups [21:24] bye [21:25] power goes out a lot in this house [21:25] kajakmanden, why did u switch to 64 bit ubuntu? the packages available for it is very less, compared to the 32 bit. [21:25] is there some kind of tcpdump for wifi? [21:25] mcquaid: and your desktop is plugged into the UPS via a USB cord? [21:25] saji: do to power in the game [21:25] yes [21:25] I 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. [21:25] it's an apc model, i've done zero configuration wise in ubuntu for this device [21:25] kajakmanden, so you would have to compile the drivers yourself. [21:25] but the usb hookup works fine in windows with it's software [21:26] where is the wpa_supplicant.conf located ? [21:26] th0r: i need to extract an img.. [21:26] .img [21:26] Lostinspace_46: ubuntuuses utf8 by default [21:26] who is in charge of writing wubi? can I e-mail them my problem? [21:26] does a special app have to be installed in ubuntu for ups? normally I would think so, but that message notification made me think it already detects the device [21:26] mcquaid: you can configure a bunch of stuff via power management [21:26] JPSman: check in its homepage [21:26] eth01, .img does not mean a thing [21:26] just can't see a status [21:26] saji: i took ubuntu cause i heard it was easy but dont seems that way so iam out and deleteing it again [21:26] eth01, mount it then.

Im running Jaunty amd64 and the applications are pidgin, transmission and few other (this doesnt happen all the time) [21:27] nm i found it [21:27] i'm running 9.04 and i want to know where is the startup directory? i want add a script [21:27] eth01, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromImgFiles [21:27] where was it? [21:27] i didn't have it enabled in the notification area it states ac power [21:28] just wanted to know i'm not draining the battery [21:28] casey: in linux is /etc/init.d/ for suystem wide scripts... or simply add a call to your script from /etc/rc.local [21:28] the power went on/off for an instant, so maybe it was too quick to report the popup msg of back to ac power [21:28] could be [21:28] do i add the script to a file? [21:28] Trijntje: im the only one on right now, but it has done this before.. basically i had a perfect setup until a week ago when my modem/router got zapped by lightning. until my new one is delivered, i have setup a little modem and router setup and the modem seems not to like me...

[22:39] VCoolio, thanks, ill look at that one [22:39] what happens when you use the magic sysrq key combination alt+sysrq+i?

So I tried the NVIDIA X sets & got this message "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server" [22:41] and the system just runs init? or it starts a runlevel again? [22:42] gobucks09: when you boot you see the DKMS NVidia kernel module message ? [22:42] vaiouser: no, init is always running [22:42] gobucks09: does xorg.conf have an entry like driver nvidia ? [22:42] No. everything happens pretty fast. [22:42] yes this combination does not kill init [22:42] what can i do afteri use that combination? [22:43] after i* [22:43] No, it's pretty vanilla, [22:43] Section "Device" [22:43] Identifier "Configured Video Device" [22:43] EndSection [22:43] Section "Monitor" [22:43] Identifier "Configured Monitor" [22:43] gobucks09: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

But when I try sudo nvidia-xconfig it says not found. [22:47] vaiouser: I don't think you can avoid it [22:47] is there a resource for getting someone to set up mythtv for me? [22:47] gobucks09: you're missing some packages [22:48] there are guys in the area, but $400 exceeds my budget [22:48] type dpkg -l|grep nvidia [22:48] yeayeayea [22:48] gobucks09: you should have nvidia-glx-NNN and nvidia-common [22:49] otherwise, install and run jockey.... itll do it for you [22:50] what about the alt+sysrq+g combination? [22:51] vaiouser: there isn't any alt+sysrq combo that will start a shell [22:51] Hi [22:51] how do i force a DX9 window in wine to go fullscreen? [22:51] vaiouser: if you use alt+sysrq+i, then you will most likely have to reboot in order to return the system to a usable state [22:51] what i can see on the machine in other room is kernel messages only [22:52] the game has a fullscreen mode, but i suspect it causes crashes [22:52] hello is it possible to shutdown the power of a usb- port, maybe through usb-powermanagement or something like this ?? [22:52] in the other* [22:53] aftertaf: nvidia-common was missing. do I need to reboot after synaptic install? [22:53] yep, for module building i think so [22:53] or usage at least === virus_pkg_instal is now known as paper [22:53] there has to be something that can be done [22:54] vaiouser: there isn't [22:54] aftertaf: ok, I'll try that.

[22:54] vaiouser: alt+sysrq+i is only meant to be used when attempting to reboot the system cleanly in an emergency [22:54] but only from within X, strange! [22:55] gobucks09: yes, depends on software used [22:55] gobucks09: it depends on your client [22:55] anyone here installed ubuntu on a macbook?

Use normal ubuntu [22:57] alexpalmer: thanks ill try that [22:57] cool thanks alot [22:57] VCoolio: does that plugin add that functionality? [22:57] AlexPalmer: I don't think it's a 32 bit intel chip in Macs is it? [22:57] Nathan__:How new is your MacBook? [22:57] x86 is the only one i didnt try [22:57] 2008 [22:57] a year old [22:58] edbian: My year old Mac supports Ubuntu 64-bit [22:58] AlexPalmer: I didn't know that! [22:58] Nathan__:so, core 2 duo?

Also have issues with totem plugin in firefox playing back mms streams... [22:59] edbian: ill give that a shot thanks [22:59] Nathan__:do you know the key combo to boot to CD on the mac?

[22:59] gobucks09: select it and press configure or something to check the options === Guest89323 is now known as jondavis [23:00] what's the easiest way to clone my laptop hard drive to an external USB drive? I'm looking to copy the boot sector and everything. [23:00] I thought I'd just be able to use dd, but people who've written tutorials seem to advocate cp and tons of different complicated steps [23:00] couldn't I just dd from my current drive to the new one? [23:00] When i open the 'user switch /shutdown/restart/etc' applet sometimes it shows 'hibernate', but sometimes it doesnt show. What could cause this? [23:00] brunner: partimage [23:00] can some one help me out [23:00] and dd for the boot sector [23:00] brunner: I don't think that dd will copy the MBR. [23:01] aftertaf: thanks [23:01] jondavis: That depends on what your problem is! :) [23:01] brunner: i can give more details if u need [23:01] aftertaf: I'd love that, thanks [23:01] edbian: he already said what his problem was as Guest89323 [23:01] VCoolio: I don't see that as an option. I'll try again after reboot. [23:02] jondavis: Sorry I have no ideas :( [23:02] Sorry if you dont mind me asking, is kubuntu an addon or and operating system? [23:03] i have been trying to look at tv/show's on web-site's [like]cbs.com nbc.com but is will not show-anything.i got flash install but that is working on just youtube.com [23:03] Neostatic: It is an Operating System [23:03] Neostatic: kubuntu is ubuntu with kde installed by default instead of gnome [23:03] Okey [23:03] well [23:03] maybe somthing with kexeec? [23:03] jondavis: Go into synaptic and search "flash" How many different flash player do you have installed? [23:03] vaiouser: just reboot [23:03] just one [23:03] i will lose my data [23:04] vaiouser: what data? [23:04] Is kubuntu 64bit amd the right thing for my intel? [23:04] how 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 crashing [23:04] Neostatic: kubuntu is the same as ubuntu essentially [23:04] Flash plays back audio, video is black - only library installed in firefox is libflashplugin.so which I put in ~/mozilla/plugins/ [23:04] many articles over 500 tabs in firefox [23:04] Neostatic: how much RAM do you have ( also, video card ? ) ? [23:04] !pidgin [23:04] The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others. See also !Kopete [23:04] vaiouser: if you used alt_sysrq+i then you've already lost that data [23:04] my ram is 4gb total, the ram on my video card is 512mb [23:05] i was tould one flash player will work for all thaing's that has websites [23:05] i did not use that combination [23:05] and websits/tv shows [23:05] Neostatic: both kubuntu and ubuntu have 32-bit and 64-bit versions [23:05] the data is still present in RAM [23:05] are* [23:05] Neostatic: yeah, you should be fine ( more over, 64bit version will allow you to upgrade your RAM without reinstalling ). [23:05] vaiouser: "is" would also be appropriate when referring to computer data [23:05] Hello, World/ [23:06] jondavis: 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] vaiouser: you did use alt+sysrq+i, right? [23:06] hi 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] Can i install kubuntu from cd on windows vista? [23:06] no [23:06] Neostatic: Wubi ? [23:06] only print register info and other combinations [23:06] whaat? [23:07] Neostatic: you can install it in the same way you installed ubuntu [23:07] *install [23:07] I havenot installed anything yet ... do i need to install ubuntu before kubuntu? [23:07] but nothing that is related to the filesystems and other combinations that might lead to loss of data [23:07] cliff: We'll need some more details. [23:07] i have not used kubuntu i am new to this, i have always used windows before [23:07] Neostatic: Kubuntu = KDE, Ubuntu = Gnome ! [23:07] i need help [23:07] Neostatic: no. [23:07] Neostatic: you can install kubuntu without having installed ubuntu [23:07] mido1: ok, tell me what kind of details you will need [23:08] lstarnes: okey [23:08] Neostatic: kubuntu is just ubuntu with the KDE desktop instead of gnome. [23:08] prince_jammys: ok [23:08] and some different apps come installed [23:08] vaiouser: I'm somewhat confused. What exactly are you asking about? [23:08] What is the difference between KDE and Gnome? [23:08] 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] Rapt0rJezuz: they're different desktop environments [23:08] cliff: 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] Rapt0rJezuz: different default applications, different look and feel. [23:08] 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 kubuntu [23:08] Who is willing to guide me through installation of kubuntu 9.04 [23:09] Rapt0rJezuz: Wiki or Google images ;) [23:09] i want to recover from a state which shows kernel messages only [23:09] I am trying to play a DVD and I get the error "An error occurred: Could not open location; you might not have permission to open file." [23:09] any ideas? [23:09] vaiouser: which key combo did you use to thert that [23:09] Neostatic: feel free to pm me at any time ;) [23:09] vaiouser: *enter [23:09] mido1: no, winxp occupied 30 GB and worked well, after that i repartitioned all space except winxp partition and it stopped booting although I can boot in linux [23:09] Hi. how can I install a screenlet for ubuntu in slax? [23:09] i used init 1 [23:10] vaiouser: does it display a login prompt of any sort? [23:10] no [23:10] Neostatic: it's dead easy, just the partitioning question may be questionable [23:10] it shows kernel messages only [23:10] vaiouser: does it say anything about a kernel panic or an oops error? [23:10] no [23:11] brunner: http://www.pastebin.org/4220 a quick guide ;) [23:11] hey I can't press up cursor in urxvt [23:11] Please someone tell me how to FORCE fullscreen for this game :/ [23:11] vaiouser: what happens when you press enter? [23:11] let me see [23:11] it affects everything run in urxvt (aka rxvt-unicode) [23:12] Hi. how can I install a screenlet for ubuntu in slax? [23:12] brunner: but u must have booted from another device, you cant backup a mounted partition [23:12] !wine [23:12] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [23:12] cliff: Hm, it's not really clear to me how you did install or how you did partition your disk. However, do you have a bootable xp cd? [23:12] it shows unknown key once and after that nothing [23:12] sman: pressing up doesn't show you the previous command in your history? [23:13] Keiffer, grab the source and compile [23:13] prince_jammys: no [23:13] if you press again enter [23:13] prince_jammys: it doesn't do anything [23:13] pl [23:13] enter again* [23:13] mido1: yes I do [23:13] prince_jammys: it works in tty however, but I have now realised that any graphical terminal emulator has the flaw [23:13] anyone xexpain how i made it that X server is now on ALT-F1 and not F7 ?? [23:13] vaiouser: did you just use init 1? [23:14] cliff: 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] yes [23:14] Hello [23:14] cliff: Seems to me the fastest solution to boot windows. [23:14] 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] mido1: what other options can I use? [23:15] init 1 and it stopped in a state where it shows the kernel messages [23:15] Is the issue with Intel GPUs in Ubuntu 9.04 fixed yet, or should I wait for Ubuntu 9.10? [23:15] is there a faster lightweight login manager that is able to autologin into gnome? [23:15] vaiouser: I think changing runlevels to runlevel 1 via init 1 would kill any processes started in the previous runlevel [23:15] cliff: 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] prince_jammys: any ideas? [23:16] prince_jammys: it works in tty, so I'm guessing it's something to do with xorg [23:16] Does anyone here have any experience with Sawfish WM? I can't figure out how to set my theme. [23:16] yes but the data is still present [23:16] cliff: After that, if grub still can't boot windows, you'd have to see after the grub config and correct it. [23:16] Is the issue with Intel GPUs in Ubuntu 9.04 fixed yet, or should I wait for Ubuntu 9.10? [23:16] mido1: and can I do smth about it from linux? i have correct entry in menu.lst [23:17] the8thbit: It's fixed, You just have to update the drivers after you install. [23:17] I was wondering the same thing as the8thbit. when I updated from the 9.04 beta to 9.04 release i lost compiz [23:17] intel performance has boosted for me usng Karmic [23:17] sman: perhaps it has to do with locale variables [23:17] the sessionrestore file is still there [23:17] cliffbreaker: just a moment... [23:17] prince_jammys: well that's what I thought but it would affect tty if so [23:17] that is the only file i need to restore the tabs in firefox [23:17] !sawfish [23:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about sawfish === ArchEnigma is now known as Aenigma [23:18] is there a tool for ubuntu that allows you to export and import a contact list of your cellphone with bleutooth ? [23:18] ArchEnigma: How do you update the drivers after install. a simple "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get install upgrade"? [23:18] cliffbreaker: In the section for booting windows xp in your menu.lst, what is the line starting with "root" or "rootnoverify"? [23:18] xtremegamer: gammu ? [23:18] !bluetooth [23:18] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [23:18] sman: try invoking urxvt like this: LC_ALL=$LANG urxvt [23:18] A couple more questions, these ones may seem a little stranger and open ended... First, what advantages does Ubuntu hold over Linux Mint? Second, what advantages does Gnome hold over KDE and vise versa? [23:18] So no help on the Sawfish then? [23:19] xtremegamer: Yes, I prefer SyncML, on newer cells SynCE is a good solution. [23:19] Aenigma, http://sawfish.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Contents [23:19] prince_jammys: ooh, whenever I press up the command "lpr" is run [23:19] ow ok ill look into them , any other applications ? [23:19] prince_jammys: thats linux print right? [23:19] sman: yes [23:19] prince_jammys: I don't even have it installed.. [23:19] bizarre [23:19] lstarnes: the data is there i just have to copy and then i can reboot [23:19] prince_jammys: mind if I PM you? [23:20] sman: ok [23:20] mido1: rootnoverify [23:20] xtremegamer: For some older Nokias Gnokii [23:20] vaiouser: I don't know if you can copy it in your current state [23:20] Can someone help with flash issue on Jaunty 64-bit - no other flash dependencies installed just libflashplugin.so in ~/mozilla/plugins - get weird playback of video, sometimes black screen, sometimes fast-forward, jerky. audio works fine. [23:20] i use a livecd distribution that is why i want to avoid the reboot [23:20] cliffbreaker: That's all, nothing behind "rootnoverify"? [23:20] Thanks. A couple more questions, these ones may seem a little stranger and open ended... First, what advantages does Ubuntu hold over Linux Mint? Second, what advantages does Gnome hold over KDE and vise versa? [23:21] mido1: also (hd0,0) in this line [23:21] its for a new Nokia 6**** something and a samsung SGH-M610 [23:21] Ubuntu is the best! [23:21] 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 need [23:21] cliffbreaker: Ah, that's very important :-) [23:21] the8thbit: too open ended.... 2nd question is one of prefernce, 1st is one of difference, not betterness [23:21] cliff: Okay, where is your windows partition located? Is it the first partition on your first harddisk, aka /dev/sda1? [23:21] The best distro is one you can get help with. preferably locally [23:22] xtremegamer: Then forget about Gnokii. [23:22] mido1: yes, you're right [23:22] VCoolio, aftertaf: Alright. I'm just split between Mint and Ubuntu, and Gnome and KDE. [23:22] xtremegamer: Is the samsung a Windows-CE smartphone or something? [23:22] the8thbit: then dualboot and have both installed ;) [23:22] cliffbreaker: Hmmm, then the entry seems to be okay. [23:23] I guess a better question is, why do you all use Ubuntu instead of a different distro? (assuming you use Ubuntu primarily) [23:23] aftertaf: or install virtualbox and run both in windows on the same desktop [23:23] mido1: sure it's ok [23:23] cliff: Looks like there is no (working) bootloader in the bootsektor. [23:23] mido1: ok, what can I do about it without demolishing grub? [23:23] aftertaf: that was supposed to be xfce windows...not 'the dark side' windows [23:23] the8thbit: ease of use, community support [23:24] cliffbreaker: I would suggest booting the install cd, using rescue mode, and then write a new bootsector via "fixboot" as next step [23:24] th0r: i prefer ;) [23:24] Anyone 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] hmm. what's up with the fonts in firefox-3.5? [23:24] cliffbreaker: Then grub should be able to boot windows again. [23:24] l3dx: possibly https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=458612 [23:25] VCoolio: join/part plugin works! Thanks. [23:25] My laptop wont play dvd's I get the error "Could not open location; you might not have permission to pen the file" [23:25] mido1: well, not sure how to do it [23:25] gobucks09: nice, good news [23:25] Trueno: AFAIK not that really easy. Could you e.g. boot Ubuntu from CD/DVD on that computer with internet connection? === VCoolio_ is now known as VCoolio [23:26] cliffbreaker: Just boot from your windows install cd. [23:26] cliffbreaker: on the big blue screen, you're asked if you would like to install, or enter rescue mode. [23:26] Trueno: or copy them all into /var/cache/apt/archives/ then apt-get install them [23:26] cliff: Then enter "r" for rescue, and you get a commandline. [23:27] cliff: You'll be prompted to select your windows xp installation (there should be only one) and to enter your admin password. [23:27] cliff: 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] mzz: perhaps [23:27] thank aftertaf :) works like a charm on my samsung :) [23:28] :)) cool [23:28] mzz: but different font on mine [23:28] mido1: will I have to reinstall grub? [23:28] cliff: Then reboot and try the grub entry. [23:28] LOL xD [23:28] mido1. Yes, but If I boot with the live cd, ¿What is get? [23:29] wammu reads memory card for contacts , phone reboots lol [23:29] thank you for trying to help lstarnes [23:29] * credobyte is away: Gone away for now [23:29] * credobyte is back. [23:30] i want to download and installed GTK+ via terminal, how? [23:30] aftertaf , is there some possible i could use my phone as a "headset" for skype ? [23:30] Leoneof: it should already be installed [23:31] Trueno: 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] xtremegamer: 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. [23:32] xtremegamer: hang on & I'll get you a link. [23:32] Hi, is it possible to use a Xubuntu LiveCD to backup another distro's intstall into an image file? [23:32] gobucks89 , it cant be achieved software wise ? [23:32] Thank you mido1! I'll try this. [23:33] not that I know of. [23:33] lstarnes: i need to download latest version, possible? [23:33] Trueno: The commands on the live system should be "apt-get update; apt-get -d upgrade" [23:34] Trueno: But it's only written from memory. [23:34] Here's what I use: http://kb2kskype.sourceforge.net/ [23:34] I nned some help I want to make a program start at start up and i made the sritp for it and put it in /etc/init.d now what cooan do i do so it will work [23:34] How can i force eject a drive? getting this error "org.freedekstop.Hal.Device.Volume.UnknownFailure';eject: unable to find or open device for: /media/cdrom0" [23:34] #command [23:35] Trueno: On your offline-PC the command should be "apt-get --no-download upgrade" after you copied all the files to /var/cache/apt/archives. [23:35] *command [23:36] casey, what do you so that "it will work"? You want to check if it will actually does what it's supposed to do or if it's runing at all? [23:36] How does ubuntu give me such good unicode fonts in gnome-terminal? I checked, and the font it uses is "Monospace". I've got another, non-ubuntu distro over here, and the font is also set to Monospace in gnome-terminal, and I do not get any non-english characters. [23:36] ok mido. I'll try this and I tell you [23:36] casey, i meant to ask... what do you mean that "it will work" LoL [23:36] root: There is no real force, AFAIK. Just try the commandline: eject /dev/cdrom [23:36] Hi! I need help installing themes from gnome-look.org. I've downloaded the tar.gz and put it in /home/username/.themes/ then went to Menu>Pref>Apperance and chose "install" on theme. When I click the file it says "invalid theme" [23:37] i made the scirp and puted it in /etc/init.d will it work or do i need to do something elas [23:37] Is "monospace" the name of a particular ttf font? Or is it some sort of virtual name, and if I have a bunch of other-language fonts there, it'll search till it finds the character or something? [23:37] can anyone recommend a site that offers free hosting for your web site and that hopefully has little to no advertising in your page? [23:37] www.000webhost.com no ads free [23:37] Taft: probably incomplete, just extract there manually [23:37] DanYoSon, thanks, ill go take a look at it right now [23:37] casey: You need symlinks in the runlevel directories as well. [23:38] byethost also good :) [23:38] Taft: that's the same as 'installing' would do, then check for your theme with the 'customize' button [23:38] so how i do that [23:38] also has php, mysql etc. [23:38] casey: First you have to decide in which runlevels you init script should be started. === vorian is now known as OldSchool [23:39] well i guss at logiom [23:39] casey: (or pseudo-runlevels in ubuntu, where we have upstart) [23:39] DanYoSon, dont advertise here [23:39] If 'eject /dev/cdrom' also doesn't work, another other means? [23:39] I'm looking for the best way to set up a shared directory for all users on a system. [23:39] Vcoolio I cannot find my theme in "customize" [23:39] rootlinuxusr: What was the error message with eject? === eric is now known as Guest26111 [23:39] im not someone asked about a web hosting site [23:39] "org.freedekstop.Hal.Device.Volume.UnknownFailure';eject: unable to find or open device for: /media/cdrom0" [23:39] Taft: what kind of theme (gtk2?) and what's in the folder? [23:39] rootlinuxusr: Ah, the same. [23:40] casey: did you read that page I sent you? Did you use the skeleton to write your script or is it a simple bash script? [23:40] Can someone help me with my USB headset? [23:40] Oh when I ran eject? made some noise, exited with no error message, no eject either ... [23:40] Taft: give me a link for the theme on gnome-look, I'll check [23:40] rootlinuxusr: Ah, so no message at all when running eject? [23:40] nope [23:41] VCoolio http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/zni3?content=104418 [23:41] just returns to prompt [23:41] rootlinuxusr: That's good (when Linux doesn't say anything, it normally did what you commanded) [23:41] i copyed the script that it told me to use for the program [23:41] Taft: that's a gnomenu theme, install gnomenu first (if you want it), it's on gnome-look too [23:41] or tried to anyway. [23:41] rootlinuxusr: According to "mount", is the CD drive still mounted anywhere? [23:41] casey: what told you to use? [23:42] Thanks VCoolio [23:42] Taft: in the .themes folder you only have gtk2 themes and metacity (window border) themes [23:42] I 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. [23:42] th0r: Do you know hat he's trying to do? [23:42] Not mounted anywhere. [23:42] the install gield for the program [23:43] VCoolio so I should just have this one in my Desktop? [23:43] mido1: 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 skeleton [23:43] rootlinuxusr: Last chance I see: logoff from the graphical desktop, then switch to a text console, log in, and then retry eject. [23:43] Taft: yeah, and then use gnomenu to point to it [23:43] ok [23:43] th0r: Thanks. [23:43] i guess bootup [23:44] Taft: also after installing / extracting you can delete the tar.gz [23:44] mido1: I sent him a url that explained the runlevels and init scripts, but I doubt he read it. [23:44] casey: Sometimes it's no help to tell the people a solution to a specific problem, but to show them a different approach. [23:45] there is this guy who just tryd tohelp me but no luck [23:45] Hello [23:45] casey: So, what are you trying to do? What programm should be started, for which purpose?

Currently I've only this: OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer [23:49] can a good real person help me out [23:49] what i really need i guess is a quick how-to on installing packages without the internet connection [23:49] mido1: he can't run that at bootup....network manager won't connect until he logs in [23:49] hello [23:49] If you have the package you can install by double clicking or by command line - dpkg -i package.deb [23:50] i just tould yall what i need help on [23:50] th0r: You're right.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [23:52] jondavis It's a long explain, the tut has several downloass [23:52] th0r: Maybe his solution is to configure DHCP or a static IP in /etc/network/interfaces instead using nm. Let's see... [23:52] what is the lastest kernel for ubuntu 9.04? [23:52] i dont want to fuck up my os ok [23:52] jondavis: I don't believe cbs or nbc currently support Linux. they have their own plugin [23:52] jondavis, watch the language [23:52] then help me [23:52] !cursing [23:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about cursing [23:52] find a way [23:52] hrmm [23:53] that'll get everyone to help ya [23:53] jondavis, please be patient [23:53] mido1: yeah...he will have to use interfaces instead of nm..although the static ip isn't really necessary. Unless he is working through a wifi hub or router [23:53] i dont have time [23:53] jondavis: who's going to help you when talk to people likethat [23:53] Try installing other flash packages?

They talk about poor performances, but n my case hardware acceleration is not enabled at all! [23:54] hulu.com [23:55] howdy [23:55] jondavis and lastly, cursing at folks you want to help you is very counyerproductive === bruenig is now known as bruenig_ [23:55] jondavis, cbs works here; hulu not so as that is for US-only residents === bruenig_ is now known as bruenig__ [23:56] mezquitale, site.com:8000 (if 8000 the port) [23:56] jondavis, which plugins do you have installed and from where [23:56] could someone please try to help me? === bruenig__ is now known as _bruenig [23:56] !ask | Ilija [23:56] i jus tould yall [23:56] Ilija: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:56] \flash [23:57] I 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 router [23:57] jondavis, I did not see it; flash installed from where and which version [23:57] jondavis 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 whatever [23:57] hi [23:57] IndyStefan1, use nfs via two ubuntu computers [23:57] Ilija: you have to use gdebi to install those packages [23:57] !nfs [23:57] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [23:57] thanks bazhang [23:57] :) [23:57] Ok now i need some help with img_assist i have this and need to put a link into this image so that it opens thepdf [img_assist|nid=368|title=|desc=|align=left|width=220|height=165] the link to the pdf is: http://www.construidea.com/sites/default/files/Catalogo_Monolitico.pdf now how do i insert this url into img_assist code?? [23:58] jondavis, stop msg'ing without permission [23:58] Ilija: open nautilus to the CD, right click on a package, and choose open with gdebi === Cyber_Akuma_ is now known as Cyber_Akuma-Ubun [23:58] .... good enough [23:58] i will try that, thank you [23:58] th0r: I did find out. It's a dnamic dns update client he wants to run. [23:58] nfs - I'll give it a look - Thanks [23:58] I 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] I have the third party repos enabled, im trying to install partimage, but it says not found [23:58] Andy80: have you enabled anything in your xorg.conf file? [23:58] Ilija: th0r: use /usr/bin/gdebi-gtk or you'll see nothing showing up... [23:59] so 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] mido1: right...I am familiar with it. But it won't work at bootup unless he sets an extremely rapid update frequency [23:59] ctmjr: not by hand... why? Do I have to enable something? [23:59] jondavis, 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 ask [23:59] th0r: Yes, the init script is just the wrong place. [23:59] i got flash install but it is not working
