[00:00] muibe, did not see the question [00:00] mido1: it usually looks once every ten to sixty minutes for a change in the ip, but he won't have an ip at bootup [00:00] jondavis, installed from Where; which version [00:00] it will also work 4 youtube .com [00:00] Andy80: you can look in there and see if you have an option like UXA or XAA [00:00] th0r: Exactly. [00:00] jondavis, you would be done with the tut by nom, and I guarantee it will work for you [00:00] Cyber_Akuma-Ubun, try installing from the command line, first "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get install partimage" [00:00] how do I set my keyboard layout in xorg.conf? I've read the wiki, XKbdLayout doesn't work [00:00] thats what I did [00:01] ctmjr: this is my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.ca/1507295 I don't have none of that... [00:01] bazhang: how is it possible to make all the external devices read-only ones? [00:01] I couldent even find it in symaptics package manager [00:01] mido1: the best bet is to run it at login (startup apps) and put a sleep command at the beginning to delay it long enough for nm to start [00:01] th0r: Are you familiar with the script from no-ip? [00:01] sman If you find out let me know [00:01] muibe, why do you need to set this [00:01] look if yall can help everyone in here well so can u help me [00:01] VCoolio: there is no /usr/bin/gdebi-gtk on default installation [00:02] mido1: I used it quite a while ago....but they didn't have network manager at the time [00:02] Ok...I'm out -- Red Soxs are on :) [00:02] Cyber_Akuma-Ubun, the same happened to me with cinelerra, I couldnt find the package so I just installed using "apt-get install" and it worked fine [00:02] mido1: all I did was start it after interfaces did the ifup [00:02] jondavis, no one here is paid. We are all volunteers helping people for free. We don't HAVE to help anyone. [00:02] jondavis, I am asking for particulars, you are providing none [00:02] mido1: In the live system don't have Internet. Can I download the files from windows? [00:02] bazhang: because i want to prevent copying of the stuff into an external media [00:02] sman some of the trouble is that the mans reference files that have changed [00:02] Trueno: The problem is to find out which files are to update. [00:02] Cyber_Akuma-Ubun, you already tried "sudo apt-get install partimage" ??? [00:02] i install it from ubutntu [00:03] this is what it says if I try [00:03] http://pastebin.com/m7f48101c [00:03] jondavis, how long have you had this problem, which version of ubuntu ( lsb_release -a ) in a terminal [00:03] and yes UI used that command in the terminal [00:04] mido1. I understand [00:04] i have it for a longtime and i have ubuntu linux 9.04 [00:04] Andy80: open the file for editing and add this to the device section under identifier Option "AccelMethod" "uxa" [00:04] how do I set my keyboard layout in xorg.conf? [00:04] !jondavis [00:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about jondavis [00:04] hi. what is the difference between "invoke-rc.d" and "service" commands? [00:04] jondavis..you are beating your head against a wall.just use the tut. It's a sticky, it wouldn't stay there if it didn't work [00:04] Andy80: then restart X [00:05] // [00:05] nkvorn, no need for that; /msg ubottu in future please [00:05] jondavis, lets keep this in channel, not via PM [00:05] I think I have a unique and very interesting keyboard problem [00:05] any ideas? [00:05] Cyber_Akuma-Ubun, can I see your cat /etc/apt/sources.list file? [00:05] and I'm growing quite fond of solving it [00:05] sman: I'm just curious of hearing what it is! [00:05] nkvorn I think it's "1 | [00:05] ctmjr: anyway I remember that hardware rendering worked fine until some days ago when I connected an external monitor... could that have messed up all things? [00:06] bazhang, he msg'd me as well thinking I was you. I'm honestly leaning towards a terminal case of PEBKAC on that oen [00:06] jondavis, have these sites ever worked for you [00:06] Ill try, not sure if dcc will work [00:06] nkvorn: ! not 1 [00:06] trollboy, no need for that, please be civil [00:06] !welcome |nkvorn [00:06] nkvorn: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel. [00:06] edbian: here goes: whenever I am in X, in any terminal emulator, pressing "up" on the keyboard spawns "sh: lpr: command not found" [00:06] it did when i was a windeos user [00:06] Cyber_Akuma-Ubun, just copy and paste your source.list file to pastebin [00:06] bazhang: I was just trying to help him. I can't figure out the issue. He has "flashplugin-nonfree" installed but he cannot play some flash videos [00:06] ok [00:07] now i am a ubuntu linux user [00:07] edbian: regardless of shell, terminal emulator, locale [00:07] edbian, it is confusing as those sites work for me [00:07] sman: neat! [00:07] edbian: I know! [00:07] bazhang: Me too [00:07] thor: it seems to work! [00:07] jondavis, what does about:plugins show in your browser when you type it in [00:07] Cyber_Akuma-Ubun, put your file in pastebin so that everyone in the room can see it, someone may catch something that I didn't [00:07] Andy80: it might have messed up something but your xorg.file is very minimal [00:07] edbian: so I think the root of the problem is xorg [00:07] thank you all very much [00:07] bazhang: Perhaps he hasnt' killed the firefox process but simply stopped and started firefox really quickly. [00:07] mezquitale: here http://pastebin.com/m4aae8f8c [00:07] edbian, good point [00:07] i dont ubderstand [00:07] nkvorn I mistyped "!welcome | nkvorn" [00:07] sman: Yeah sounds like a bad mapping. Does the up arrow work correctly for other applications? [00:08] edbian: yes [00:08] Bye for now :) [00:08] nkvorn it pipes the message to the nick [00:08] edbian: just any console stuff. [00:08] jondavis, in your address bar (where you type www.cbs.com) type -----> about:plugins [00:08] edbian: apart from tty/framebuffer - it's fine there [00:08] ctmjr: anyway the uxa option won't enable hardware rendering..... [00:08] i go to a website like www.cbs.com and look tv/videos and it will not work [00:09] sman: Good luck with that man! I'm clueless [00:09] ctmjr: I should have something like this: OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 945GM GEM 20090326 2009Q1 RC2 x86/MMX/SSE2 [00:09] jondavis, please tell me what about:plugins says about that adobe plugin [00:09] * sman breaks down [00:09] yay, I got a second monitor for my laptop can someone help me make it work so that I can have 2 monitors working at the same time? [00:09] Lostin, nice. where can i find more info about these irc commands? [00:10] !xrandr | cooper77z [00:10] cooper77z: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 [00:10] then u pm me [00:10] !ubotto [00:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubotto [00:10] if you need to know ok [00:10] is there any good OpenLDAP .ldif file editor GUI? [00:10] !ubottu [00:10] 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 [00:10] thanks [00:10] ubottu [00:10] i am tied of tell people what i have [00:10] jondavis, no provide the answers here please; about:plugins output [00:10] jondavis If you got the plugin from the adobe site, it doebn't work well "out of the box" so to speak [00:11] Lostin: He got it from the repos [00:11] edbian Hmm should work..let me check something [00:11] jondavis, have you installed several different flash plugins? [00:11] i got it from ubuntu in system [00:12] daaaaaaaaaa [00:12] jondavis, about:plugins [00:12] jondavis: You got it from symantic. Which is the repos. :) [00:12] yes [00:12] does anyone happen to know when the next ubuntu membership meeting for the americas might be? the wiki page says july 15th and I cant find any mention of the next date in the irc logs. -- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/RegionalBoards/Americas [00:12] then i dont know [00:12] so my problem is insurmountable? [00:12] Hey there guys .....is there a support channel for g(ood)OS ? [00:12] i keep getting this message every time i try to install something http://paste.ubuntu.com/233508/ what is going on? [00:12] Cyber_Akuma-Ubun, it looks like you have all the repos configured, the only other reason you could get this error is because you have a key missing or your package manager is corrupt [00:12] some of you people tell me to do thid and to do that [00:13] it all not works [00:13] Sarvatt, #ubuntu-meeting or the planet fridge calendar likely would have that info [00:13] Cyber_Akuma, the last time I saw this error I had a key missing, I had to import the key from the repo that has the software [00:13] funcky1: You have more than one package manager open. [00:13] jondavis, about:plugins [00:13] yes [00:13] edbian: no i dont [00:14] jondavis this will be several lines but it should fix you up [00:14] How do I do that? And which repo has it? [00:14] edbian: unless one is hidden somewhere [00:14] funcky1: You probably have a zombie process of one lingering open. Open the system monitor and look for it. [00:14] and if it foes not [00:14] edbian: it says i have apt-get running. could that be it? [00:14] funcky1: That's it! [00:15] ctmjr: I was right :P removing those lines about virtual resolution has fixed my problem [00:15] funcky1: apt-get, aptitude, synaptic, add/remove, and dpkg are all "the package manager" [00:15] edbian: thanks! [00:15] jondavis, have you installed the flash plugin individually or part of ubuntu-restricted-extras [00:15] funcky1: Did killing it solve your problem? [00:15] hi guys! [00:15] Cyber_Akuma, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu [00:16] jondavis sorry it didn't copy the first time..here it is [00:16] edbian: yes [00:16] funcky1: Awesome :) [00:16] hello [00:16] "sudo apt-get remove gnash gnash-common libflashsupport mozilla-plugin-gnash swfdec-mozilla && sudo apt-get install alsa-oss faac faad flashplugin-nonfree gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gstreamer0.10-pitfdll libmp3lame0 non-free-codecs sun-java6-fonts sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin unrar" [00:17] Could not download all repository indexes [00:17] IN THE UPDATE PROCES [00:17] hello all again [00:17] jondavis That plugin works [00:17] I'm running into an oddity with Ubuntu, in debian land in order to not automatically install "recommended" packages you can put APT::Install-Recommends "0"; into /etc/apt/apt.conf, but Ubuntu doesn't appear to be honoring that. I also have a symlink from /etc/apt/apt.conf to /etc/apt/apt.d.conf/01config, Any recommended place I should put it instead? [00:17] what's a good irc client? Not liking XChat [00:17] irssi is a nice irc client [00:17] bazhang: thanks, i dont see anything on the fridge calendar for the next 3 months though. I guess I will look into applying through another country [00:18] i have an ASUS P7131 cable tuner card , any good application that work with it ? [00:18] thanks revstray :) [00:18] also my webcam went missing [00:18] toyimp: I use irssi + screen + ssh all the time, for almost 5 yrs now, works like a charm. Doh, too late. [00:18] revstray If you use Synaptic, you can pick and choose [00:19] When I try to run the Update Manager, it gives me this error message .... Could not download all repository indexes [00:19] emilio: that just means it couldn't contact one or more of the repos....might be a temp network issue [00:19] Lostin: same with aptitude, but apt is the underlying system and that doesn't answer the "where does Ubuntu read configs from" for apt.conf [00:19] i get when i plug my webcam in : 351.041154] usb 2-4: V4L2 device registered as /dev/video0 [00:19] [ 351.041158] usb 2-4: Optional device control through 'sysfs' interface disabled [00:19] [ 351.077817] usb 2-4: usb_submit_urb() failed, error -28 [00:19] xtremegamer: I don't know the tuner card, is it USB or PCI?

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [00:22] cooper77z: The easiest and first thing you should try is this: Plug in reboot with both monitors plugged in and see if they show up in the Screen Resolution app [00:22] emilio: either that, or make sure the install cd is in the drive every time you click update in synaptic [00:22] mido1: do you know the problem with my webcam then ?

My intention with these changes is to get apt to not automatically select recommended packages [00:29] thnxs [00:29] blooper, #winehq is the place to go, as ctmjr suggests, also check appdb for how well it runs [00:29] !appdb | blooper [00:29] blooper: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [00:30] revstray Dosen't it reference and file that apt.conf sources?

[00:38] when i play a song in amarok, it skips through it really fast without producing any sound. [00:38] yaaar, plus in the repo it was always Old version so you are never up to date actually ... [00:38] ok [00:38] sandy_: and those viruses won't infect Linux distros [00:38] thnx [00:39] Dimitree: the repo in question is deb.opera.com ...so i doubt they're worried that it's non-free [00:39] bastidrazor, no i used the Browse button to locate the file maby thats why ? [00:39] bastidrazor, /home/t0m0rr0w/Desktop/KeyHoleTV/lkeyholetv [00:39] b33r__: you have compiz running or a composite manager running?

I'm on 8.10 [00:40] mido1 : it does said something about saa7134_dvb so maybe its dvb [00:40] Dimitree, is the file executable?

I'll have a look. === ubuntuovato is now known as AmoTierno [00:41] Dimitree: well, i was doing it from the cli....just adding to sources.list and then doing 'apt-get update' but it gives a 404 [00:41] mido1 : i know the card by saa7134 [00:41] bastidrazor, allow executing file as programm [00:41] b33r__: the only dif i see is my nvidia driver is 185 [00:41] mido1 : cheese calls it differently [00:42] ctmjr, you installed it manually from nvidia website? [00:42] xtremegamer: what vendor/model name was printed on the box when you bougth it? ;-) [00:42] b33r__: yes it is driving a 9800gtx [00:43] Dimitree, if the spelling/case is correct i honestly don't know. [00:43] mido1: i know the chip on is is phillips , the card itself is from asus tiger-s something [00:43] ctmjr, I'm on 8800GT it used to work fine I don't know what happened it's more than enough to run runescape [00:43] hello [00:43] bastidrazor, ok thanks anyway [00:43] mido1: chees says it's : ASUS P7131 4671 (/dev/video1) [00:44] I have a question [00:44] l3iohazard: Is it biger than a bread box?

[00:46] i have linux kernel 2.6.28-13, i tried installing the b43 driver via airdriver-ng. The command wont execute because a folder its looking for doesnt exist in the source it downloads. I was wondering what kernel version I should be running to make this work. [00:46] I turned off my swap with the swapoff-command and commented the swap partition away in fstab. Now I can't enable the swap-partition again, not with 'swapon -a' nor with a reboot [00:46] yaaar, sorry dude can't help more then that :/ [00:47] modrito: You should uncomment the swap partition the the fstab file and reboot. It should work then [00:47] xtremegamer: Okay, it's a combi: analog tv and dvb-t. [00:47] masterkoppa: I've done that and it doesn't work [00:47] who was i talking to [00:47] xtremegamer: Is there a directory /dev/dvb? [00:47] b33r__: it just stopped working for you that's strange [00:48] mido1: ill look for it a min [00:48] modrito: Are you sure its mounted? Also does the swapon command output anything [00:48] mido1: yes there's a map dvb [00:48] i have linux kernel 2.6.28-13, i tried installing the b43 driver for my wireless card via airdriver-ng. The command wont execute because a folder its looking for doesnt exist in the source it downloads. I was wondering what kernel version I should be running to make this work. [00:48] xtremegamer: A map? [00:48] bastidrazor, i also tryed the "Make Link" option, when the link file is in the same folder as the app, the app starts, but when i move it elsewhere it doesn't o-o [00:48] masterkoppa: Mounted? Do you mount a swap-partition [00:49] anyone have any idea how i can re-install a desktop after i've deleted one with tasksel? [00:49] masterkoppa: 'swapon -a' gives no output [00:49] mido1: jeh , just used explorer to find it quickly its a map [00:49] modrito: Yeah the system mount the swap partition somewhere in /dev [00:50] masterkoppa: I have an encrypted swap and it's in /dev/mapper/sda3_crypt [00:50] i run sensors-detect and added some lines to /etc/modules. sensors shows: "No sensors found!". any clues? [00:50] ok, fine, a better question, anyone know how i can force apt-get to use an ubuntu cd in the cd drive? [00:51] owen1: unless you reboot or modprobe said modules, they modules won't be loaded [00:51] modrito: the best way to solve this would be by posting a message in the forums. For tenical problems that is the best place to solve problems. [00:51] magnetron: ok. what is the second option? [00:51] owen1: what second option? [00:51] magnetron: reboot or? [00:52] owen1: reboot or modprobe [00:52] masterkoppa: ok, thanks [00:52] magnetron: just type modprobe?

A quick search in google will probably point out a couple paa's with vls in them [01:03] i got older version through searches [01:03] sandy_: Im currently still waiting for an oficial realease, since I believe VLC is the best media player regardless of platform [01:03] yea vlc is the best [01:03] sandy_: Just checked their website: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ [01:04] sandy_: They have a deb for ubuntu there [01:04] anyone have any idea how i might get my desktop back? === Paraselene__ is now known as Paraselene_ [01:04] bazhang, jondavis just wrote his first computer program as well [01:04] VLC media player 0.8.6e Janus (wxWidgets interface) [01:04] i have this 1 [01:04] Can anyone tell me a command I can use to figure out what my video card is?

[01:17] hi, how do I add a second monitor to extend the desktop in hardy? [01:17] bazhang, those drivers do not work. They're designed for RH kernel source, and debian redid their entire USB arch mid-last year [01:18] cooper77z: It depends on your video card. [01:18] can someone give me advice? [01:18] trollboy, I see, are the drivers supported kernel-level or did you get them somewhere else [01:18] !details | barqers [01:18] barqers: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [01:18] barqers, need a question [01:18] well, the driver is actually distributed WITH ubuntu [01:18] cooper77z: I just did it this morning using the nVidia X Server Settings. [01:19] I have two old computers. I want to use one as a work computer. One has two processors (not dual core), running at 1000MHz, while the other has a single core, running at 1800MHz. I'm not sure which would be the better choice! [01:19] bazhang, its just a rebranded ti_usb_3410_5052.ko and after that its straight TTY [01:19] the problem is the weird ti_usb_3410_5052, which is just as weird/hard to find for windows [01:19] what is the command to enable sound? [01:19] but we DO have the driver === sandy__ is now known as sandy [01:19] blooper, sound in what [01:20] in the whole os [01:20] They'll be running ubuntu, so I just thought i'd ask which would be better. [01:20] blooper, in your upper right hand corner you'll see a picture of a speaker, that's where you adjust volume [01:20] im on backtrack [01:21] blooper: backtrack isn't supported here, also shoudn't be used as a proper distro [01:21] blooper: you shoudn't really use it as a desktop OS [01:21] Anyone? [01:21] but most command are simular [01:21] Hi guys.. [01:21] i only need to be pointed in the right direction [01:21] Anyone know where the main repo is? [01:21] djohngo, does this help?

But I have no idea if it's better to have 2 processors at 1ghz, then 1 at 1.8ghz? [01:23] blooper: yeah and root as default and such, which isn't good [01:23] im only asking for a command [01:23] blooper: I would use the faster. [01:23] blooper, wrong channel [01:23] im only asking for a command [01:24] blooper, #ubuntu-offtopic or #remote-exploit [01:24] cooper77z: Not really. It tells me you have a Dell, and that the graphics is integrated in the mobo. If I had to guess, I'd say it's probably an Intel chip. [01:24] bazhang, yeah that is outdated. [01:24] barqers: a proccessor isn't that important when it comes to Ubuntu, as long as it's reasonable, RAM on the other hand matters [01:24] barqers: how much RAM are these computers? [01:24] My hangup is getting udev to attempt to use ti_usb_3410_5052.ko to load the modem. [01:25] if you are correct, djohngo, what would be the best course of action? [01:25] blooper: There is no single command for enabling the sound. [01:25] sebsebseb: On 1 I can hold 1gb, but the other would hold 1.25. The one that holds 1.25 would be the two processors [01:25] Running jaunty on a Dell Mini 10v - cannot get the builtin mic to work. Looked everywhere. Anybody?

Further, (and I know this would be the case in Windows) should I reboot now that the printer is plugged in? Test prints aren't working, but it did see it. The only other time I've hooked up one of these was parallel, not usb [01:35] jodde, which version of ubuntu [01:35] 7.10 [01:35] !upgrade | jodde [01:35] jodde: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [01:35] jodde, instructions at those links [01:35] soreau, what's a good howto for upgrading the kernel? and which one did you say is hould upgrade to? [01:36] craigbass1976: Just leave Ubuntu running ;-) [01:36] craigbass1976: No need to reboot for a printer or something. [01:36] craigbass1976: Why don't you use the normal printer setup tool from ubuntu? [01:36] mido1, I thought it would be fine. Just checking; I fixed a windows box for someone last night and got into the habit again :P [01:36] mido1, it never asked to set up. I went into printers, and there it was [01:37] my Ubuntu is getting frozed [01:37] Ah, then it was auto-detected [01:37] craigbass1976: Okay, and why exactly do you now want to fiddle with cups? [01:38] I just reinstalled ubuntu and forgot about a file i needed on the pld build, is there a way to recover with a livecd? [01:38] mido1, I didn't know if something was messed up in the gui testing area. Thought I'd try right from cups. Still no love though [01:38] craigbass1976: 'kay, it's late in the eavening here: Ubuntu did autoconfigure your printer. It did print the test page correctly. What is bothering you? [01:38] how do i upgrade my kernel? [01:39] mido1, no test page. [01:39] why my ubuntu got frozed [01:40] craigbass1976: Okay, the printer is listed in the list of printers, correct? [01:41] mido1, got it. I shut it off and turned it back on, just started a test page. [01:41] mido1, wow, the test page printing makes me think my cat got stuck in there-- lots of straight horizontal lines. [01:42] Hello! I just got a Gateway Profile 5 and installed a version of ubuntu, but no sound. The research I've been doing talks about a sigmatel sound driver? Anyone had any experience with this?

[01:47] !panels [01:47] help pls... i can't hear sound on my ubuntu... how to install sound driver/? [01:47] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [01:47] is there a quick and easy way to convert a large number of .oga files to .mp3 or .wma (it doesn't matter which)? [01:47] thay are good [01:47] thanks stovicek [01:47] None of them work however. [01:47] np ActionParsnip [01:47] Apollo2366, probably should look into ffmpeg [01:47] I'm pretty sure I have all codecs necessary. [01:47] soreau, linux-generic version 2.6.28.13.17 is installed, but uname -r returns 2.6.24-16-generic [01:47] I have a headless computer with no monitor attached to it. I've configured Remote Desktop to work properly, but, without a monitor connected, X does not start. Is there a way to start X anyway? [01:48] jdu, that in the repos? [01:48] ozzwald: do any files work in the players? [01:48] are there any privacy apps for ubuntu that clean out common paths to recently-used, browser history, cookies, etc... in one click? [01:48] None that I have yet tried. [01:48] do the players load [01:48] Apollo2366, yes, but it may or may not support all that you want in the repos. It is pretty easy to compile though (there are tutorials for it) [01:48] what's the best MTA? postfix? qmail? exim? sendmail? gmail? i am confused but need to get something setup to replace my old one. [01:48] pagoda: Then you'll need to edit you menu.lst so grub can load that kernel. Does 'ls /boot' show the kernel is available? [01:48] Players will load, but shut down once I point them toward a file. [01:49] anyone have trouble setting up sound on Gateway P4 desktop? [01:49] i have vlc [01:49] it works [01:49] i have vlc [01:49] sudomksandwich: firefox will clean up behind itself if configured properly. [01:49] looks like it [01:49] i dunno then, hopefully sum1 smarter can help u [01:49] I have used VLC before in a previous version of Ubuntu, and had no problems. [01:49] mido1: yeah i know, that but I'd still like to have some sort of app that can clean out all of the major areas with one click [01:50] soreau, yeah. let me see if i can figure this out [01:50] ozzwald, which version of ubuntu and what kind of file === Vincent is now known as Guest42599 [01:50] have u tried lookin at the ubuntu blog and support [01:50] 9.04 avi & mkv [01:50] sudo: Which? Apapart of these firefox cleans itself. [01:50] ozzwald, you have all the codecs installed? [01:50] Didn't see anything in support, did not look at blog. [01:50] do i have to change the root=UUID part? [01:51] soreau, do i have to change the root=UUID part? [01:51] bazHang, I believe so. [01:51] http://buffalo.nas-central.org/index.php?title=Debootstrap_Ubuntu_from_Gentoo [01:51] help pls... i can't hear sound on my ubuntu... how to install sound driver/? [01:51] that's what i needed [01:51] just a heads up [01:51] mido: well, to be honest I'm not sure... I figure general use leaves some traces behind (just switched from windows... can you tell?) [01:51] pagoda: No [01:51] ozzwald, ubuntu-restricted-extras and w32codecs from medibuntu.org ? [01:51] mataks: try: amixer -q set PCM 100% unmute [01:51] ozzwald did you go to app/add/remove [01:51] at least, to get debootstrap [01:51] sudomksandwich: I don't know which traces this shouldbe. [01:52] jdu, erm... is ffmpeg only a video converter? Or does it also do audio? [01:52] bahzang let me look [01:52] ozzwald: in which way did u install vlc? [01:52] sudomksandwich: That's why I'm asking. [01:52] pagoda: You need to change the part that talks about vmlinuz [01:52] typ in vlc [01:52] soreau, and initrd right? [01:52] done [01:52] Apollo2366, both, it is quite powerful, ( and command line only) [01:52] Is there currently a file browser which allows you to add tags to file and then browse by tag instead of directory location? [01:52] cya all later [01:52] soreau, rebooting [01:53] hell, gentoo has a debootstrap package [01:53] nice [01:53] Anyone had any trouble with sound on a gateway P4? [01:53] jdu, ok, because I was looking at man ffmpeg and was only seeing video stuff [01:53] marsha, on mint6? [01:53] blooper, vlc comes pre-installed in this version. I did remove and reinstall to no effect. [01:53] sudo apt-get update how did u install [01:53] bazhang: in linux - any version [01:53] how did u install [01:54] marsha, not all versions of Linux are supported here [01:54] Apollo2366, honestly, the docs aren't that great. however, it does do audio. [01:54] any defence of the ancients fans here? [01:54] marsha, mint is supported in the mint channel [01:54] la wea [01:54] ozzwald: did u use console or an installation file [01:54] uhhhhh how i install is app.add install .then typ vlc player [01:54] netsurf3, yes in #ubuntu-offtopic [01:54] *sigh* [01:54] bazhang: yes I understand that - just trying to find out if this sound thing is a problem in general with linux [01:54] blooper, console [01:55] ive got a headset working fine, I can record and hear stuff. the problem is that I can also hear the mic... how do I disable that? [01:55] i dont want to hear myself when I talk naturally [01:55] Apollo2366, what features are available (primarily which codecs) is primary of function of how it was compiled. [01:56] Entelin: I have a sound problem too - I have a Gateway profile 5. How about you? [01:56] can anyone tell me how to make my motu run with linux? [01:57] marsha, the soundcard is a sblive [01:57] ozzwald, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [01:57] Entelin: how did you find out which card [01:58] thank you! [01:58] i just know, but you could find out yours by doing an lspci as root [01:58] ozzwald, then head over to medibuntu.org and the instructions are on the site (no need for the repos) w32codecs [01:58] ok! [01:59] Entelin: lspci can be ran as user [01:59] I need help setting up TinyProxy if anybody has any experience..? [02:00] lspci showed Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 2) [02:00] can someone help me with trayer + xmobar in xmonad? [02:00] when i launch trayer, it keeps displaying its borders [02:01] bazhang, thanks going there now [02:01] what should the sound module be for Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER? [02:01] What's a decent IRC client? I'm not liking irssi much :P [02:01] drgbr, I doubt many people here use xmonad. In other tiling wms, I have used, it was possible to change the type of tile it was; not sure about xmonad though. [02:02] toyimp, xchat works for me. On windows boxes, chatzilla [02:02] toyimp, xchat is good [02:02] !sound [02:02] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [02:02] ozzwald, mkv are pretty much playable by vlc with the proper codecs installed [02:02] toyimp: i use pidgin [02:02] ozzwald what err are you geting on vlc player [02:02] !irc > toyimp [02:02] oops [02:02] toyimp, please see my private message [02:02] what about something similar to the setup of mIRC? (But for linux of course) [02:03] no clue how to check private messages on irssi :( [02:03] bazhang, ozzwald vlc has the drivers for mkv's built right in, so it should work out of the box for you [02:03] jdu, xmonad is able to do that.. but trayer is an application to be used to display tray icons.. i put it where i wanted it on the screen and used the options for it to be handled as a dock, but the borders are still there :(.. but thx anyway [02:03] toyimp: try a few, see which you like [02:03] toyimp: switch to the irssi window containing the messages [02:03] trollboy, ok thanks for the info :) [02:03] toyimp: you can use /window to change windows [02:03] ty [02:03] toyimp: also, alt+ [02:03] toyimp, konversation, kvirc, xchat, weechat, there are a number of others [02:04] kk that's a good list. Thanks guys/gals! [02:04] toyimp: you could also use '/alias w window' to use /w [02:04] bazhang, vlc doesn't use the stock ubuntu codecs, its all internalized. You'd want the gstreamer codecs if you were using xine, mplayer, totem or the like. [02:04] that's part of how it "just works with everything on everything" [02:04] toyimp: irssi also has its own channel on this network, #irssi [02:04] trollboy, good point [02:04] Stanley_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=122011 [02:04] k [02:05] bazhang, I aim to please, or at least to wound. ;-) === shane_ is now known as TheEvilOne [02:05] ActionParsnip: I looked through that and it's still not working for me :( [02:05] can anyone help me install the b43 driver on my system please [02:06] help i need trollboy hissssss the best ha ha ha ha [02:06] Stanley_: its not something i use, all i can find guides using websearches [02:07] if i want to upgrade to firefox 3.5, should i uninstall 3.0 first?

Where is it supposed to be if not in my path? [02:37] erm, flash 64 bit should work fine under shiretoko, right? [02:37] Cyber_Akuma: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiretoko [02:37] stryker: works great here [02:38] stryker: don't see why not [02:38] kay, but im quite not sure where to create the plugin folder for it, as i used to do with firefox [02:38] hi, how do I get those 2 little boxes that stand for desktops back on my toolbar? [02:38] stryker: mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins [02:38] stryker: put the .so in there [02:39] ActionParship: ah, thanks [02:39] gobucks09, nvidia-xconfig [02:39] does anyone know , why scim doesn't work on flash ? [02:39] help pls.. my sound volume is too low i can't almost hear... how to max the volume? [02:40] ActionParsnip: Thanks! working fine now :D [02:40] stryker: simple, i never use the repo method [02:40] anybody know if there is a hamachi version for linux? [02:41] anto9us: ActionParsnip: im sorry i am testing a script on different versions of ubuntu and debian, so i forgot to update package database in the hurry :) thanks anyway [02:41] anto9us: ah, says nvidia-xconfig in ...-glx-96, -173, -180. I'm trying to use ...-glx-71 for my RIVA TNT2 [02:41] ActionParsnip: I've used ubuntu on and off for a while, i just always ended up taking it off because none of the games I wanted to play would work... [02:41] ActionParsnip: have you tried cedega? [02:41] will 96 run a TNT2 MODEL 65? [02:41] thehook: a little, not worth the cash [02:42] ... um... TNT2 MODEL 64 [02:42] gobucks09: 71 seems to be the one [02:42] im getting ignored, scim ime anthy , anyone ? [02:43] Action...: right, but no nvidia-Xconfig & nvidia-config not found? [02:43] ActionParsnip: if it support your games it's worth the cash :P you know you can pay the smallest amount install it, aand stop the subscription, and it still works.. $30 or something is worth it [02:43] where can I get help with LyTeX? [02:43] gobucks09, you can edit the xorg.conf yourself, I think you should replace the driver with "nvidia" [02:43] neno, scim on flash? what do you mean [02:43] gobucks09: no need for it, simply run: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-71 then reboot === OldSchool is now known as vorian [02:44] scim the tool to write japanese chinese or whatever ... and it doesnt work on flash for some reason [02:44] thehook: true, if you need the functionality then go for it [02:44] neno, skim/scim are input methods [02:44] gobucks09, do as ActionParsnip suggests [02:45] neno, what does this have to do with flash [02:45] bazhang, i'm on a chatsite that uses flash [02:46] neno, which one [02:46] sharedtalk.com [02:46] Action...: used synaptic to install it. sudo ... says "...already the newest version..." nothing to do. [02:47] gobucks09: ok, can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf [02:48] any ideas how to fix karmic koala installation failing with those error messages? http://pastebin.com/m6b389a43 [02:48] neno, site seems to be broken; does not allow for sign ups [02:48] anto9us: xorg.conf is like nothing I've seen before on Xubuntu 9.04 It has almost nothing in it. [02:48] Sickki, #ubuntu+1 for that [02:48] hi, i'm using Hardy and it suddeny doesnt burn CD, it can read CDs but it keeps saying that blanc CDs are not blanc so it can't read them [02:48] ok [02:49] !karmic | Sickki [02:49] Sickki: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [02:49] gobucks09, yeah, it's all changed now with bulletproof x [02:49] gobucks09, you've rebooted, yes? [02:50] gobucks09: it is by default but some folks (like me) need to populate it [02:50] hi, is the package firefox3.5 an upgrade? or it will install another firefox on my computer? [02:50] gobucks09: can you give a pastebin of yours please [02:50] cordor_: it's a different package [02:50] cordor_: its a seperate app, you can uninstall the 3.0.11 if you wish [02:50] neno, at any rate, if you can sign up, you may wish to install quick-locale-switcher in FF plugins, that seems to help with problematic sites sometimes [02:51] thanks. [02:51] yes, several times. driver is not loading. Can't see log because goes straight to graphic. um.. haven't done this before... ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/233576/ [02:52] does any1 know how i can partition my Windows to Ubuntu ? [02:52] gobucks09: theres nothing there. it only says: minus the comments... [02:52] um... ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/233578/ [02:53] gobucks09: better, ok add a line under configured video device that says Driver "nvidia" [02:53] i partitioned my Jackalope too small now I wnt to convert the rest of my Windows to Ubuntu, does ne1 know how? [02:54] gobucks09: if you use an old-ish crt you may need to specify refresh rates and colour depths etc [02:54] happy, you can boot off the live cd, remove windows partition then resize ubuntu partition to fill the space [02:55] hey guys I have another question [02:55] Action...: where to specify that? Normally it's an easy edit. [02:55] im angry about scim [02:55] guys, hardy cannot mount a blanc CD, but can see a full one, what can i do? [02:55] will this work with Ubuntu? [02:55] http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10407&cs_id=1040702&p_id=2667&seq=1&format=2 [02:55] Im contemplating installing ubuntu to a laptop with 700mhz/192/7GiB, how suitable would ubuntu (or probably xubuntu) be? the usage would be like x-window + a few vim-windows... [02:55] tx [02:55] I know it works with Linux [02:55] gobucks09: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [02:56] sigh [02:56] mattwj2002: ubuntu is a distrivbution of linux [02:56] deboostrap forgot to give me apt-get [02:56] :) [02:56] neno, its not scim, its that website [02:56] I don't need RAID...I just need to add an additional sata drive [02:56] happy, it's in System | Administration tools | Partition Editor [02:56] ActionParsnip this is true [02:57] tavelram_: i'd install xubuntu but it will be fine, for super lightness you can install lxde instead of using xfce [02:57] bazhang, why should it be the website ? i used scim once on that website [02:57] gobucks09: once you save the new file, reboot [02:58] Action...: ok, will try [02:58] neno, then check the global configuration or try the FF plugin as I suggested [02:58] are sata controller basically handed in bios mostly? [02:58] ActionParsnip, ok, but I assume that Im able to disable alot of things in a ubuntu systems? sshd and other stuff that might be running that i dont need... [02:58] mattwj2002: they are handled by the soutbridge [02:58] okay [02:59] tavelram_: sure you can modify what runs a lot, sshd is not installed by default [02:59] mattwj2002, as a precaution you may want to put /boot somewhere that you're sure the bios can see [02:59] ActionParsnip, ok, yeah, kind of a bad example :p [02:59] bazhang,that plugin doesnt do anything [03:00] ok [03:00] neno, then check the configuration [03:00] tavelram_: i know what you mean man, you can use bum to reduce startup processes [03:01] thanks for all of the good advice guys [03:01] anto9usL i dont have partition editor [03:02] :D [03:02] i have a dual boot vista n ubuntu.. how can i access my vista files to ubuntu.. like ntfs mount something.. help pls. [03:02] happy, it's on the live cd [03:02] im using Jackalope [03:02] ok thx [03:02] i will try it [03:03] happy, you need to use the live cd, you can't resize a partition you're using [03:03] ok will try it ASAP thx [03:04] i feel like ,to suicide now [03:04] Action...: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf doesn't work on xubuntu. no gedit? did sudo mousepad instead. will reboot now. [03:06] bazhang, srsly , that plugin isnt what i need ... [03:07] good night [03:07] Hello, what package does the manual for dpkg-source come from? [03:08] oh, grr.

[03:13] im a total newb sorry [03:13] question, isnt the netbook remix a slightly striped of the desktop version? [03:13] oh i misread, i thought u said there was but you said you think, ill search [03:14] Mr_Bag: seems to use the savage driver, you need to add this to /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:14] how to know if i have specified more than one repository? [03:16] Dayofswords, don't quite no what you're asking but I tried it, didn't work too well for me could be down to personal preference [03:16] for every program i want to install, i am told to load in hundred MB of stuff. [03:17] s/no/know, damn, spent too much time on facebook recently [03:17] i was just wondering cuz the img is 900mb and the iso for desktop is 700mb [03:18] hey? [03:18] How do I upgrade to xfce 4.6.1 in 9.04 64 bit ? [03:18] Dayofswords, aah, I installed it after a standard install [03:18] conold: do you by any chance run kubuntu and just tried to install firefox? [03:18] it's over 3 months that it is released and it is still not in repos ? [03:18] !info xfce4 [03:18] xfce4 (source: xfce4): Meta-package for the Xfce Lightweight Desktop Environment.

[03:19] I need 4.6.1 [03:19] i am looking for a way copy a dvd [03:19] what is a good tool ? [03:19] Volkodav: whats new in 4.6.1? [03:20] do I have a native p2p file sharing software? [03:20] quite a bit mostly bugfixes http://www.xfce.org/documentation/changelogs/4.6.1 [03:21] can i get a file over an ssh connection without using any other software? [03:21] mataks, http://www.osalt.com/winamp shows a few options [03:21] hey everyone, abbazabba again.. [03:21] StrangeCharm: yes using scp [03:21] axisys: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jerome-guelfucci/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main [03:21] axisys: you will need: gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 0E23917F5D9DCE6C; gpg --export --armor 0E23917F5D9DCE6C | sudo apt-key add - [03:21] kitche does that require any change on the server? [03:22] StrangeCharm: shouldn't it's just ssh cp it's part of the openssh [03:22] axisys: you will need: gksudo mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:22] !sshfs [03:22] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHFS [03:23] i'm finally building a small gaming rig (4gigs, 4870, 500gb) and with that hard drive, i plan on dual booting vista x64 and ubuntu 9 x64... however, the problem lies in how would i go about storing music/videos/games which both operating systems could access, change, add and play? [03:23] mechtech, yes, bittorrent client is installed by default [03:23] ActionParsnip: where are you leading me too? still looking for a dvd copiers [03:23] axisys: sorry, mixed wires [03:23] i have a tonne of files whose permissions are root for everything, what command for terminal would i use to change all permissions to user aj [03:24] Volkodav: see above [03:24] anto9us: was thinking more along the lines of file by file like limewire, or soulseek [03:24] straddlethefence: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /path/to/stuff [03:24] ty [03:24] straddlethefence: is it all of your home directory by any chance?

[03:26] anto9us: you can use $USER for that ;) [03:26] ok [03:26] ctmjr: thanks [03:27] ActionParsnip, thanks :) [03:27] axisys: your welcome [03:27] abbazabba: what i have is a home server that i stream my music from inside my lan, but i do think thats what your going for =p [03:28] night night [03:28] *i dont [03:28] ActionParsnip this ==>deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jerome-guelfucci/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main [03:28] scim doesnt work with flash < fact , but why ? [03:28] Volkodav: yes, you will also need the command i gave after [03:29] neno: flash is proprietary garbage to adobe so them nitegrating with prety much anything else is probably never gonna happen [03:29] Dayofswords: haha yeah nah, i'm thinking of just putting each of the o.s.'s on it's own 50gb partition then use the rest for both, but how would i go about letting both actively add content to it and what not? [03:29] Volkodav: add that deb line to /etc/apt/sources.lst [03:29] ActionParsnip: Seems to have worked - Thanks for the help :D [03:29] Mr_Bag: np bro [03:29] anyone care to help me get java working in mozilla [03:30] like i'll be on ubuntu, find a cd, download it to there.. then jump on windows, download a video to the partition.. is this all possible or nah? [03:30] i think i have successfully installed java already [03:30] ActionParsnip - oh the key ! Sure - Thanks for help === hamza is now known as h_aslan [03:31] how do i make java work in mozilla i have installed java already [03:32] Is it a good option to buy a computer that has Ubuntu install already? [03:32] when you say good option what do you mean ? [03:32] Volkodav: all i did was websearch [03:32] is it cheaper ? [03:32] I mean they have they have worked out any bugs? [03:32] if not... i would get the windows serial just to have it [03:32] bugs ? [03:33] which version [03:33] of ubuntu [03:33] nDevastator: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:33] >.> [03:33] Between the hardware and the os [03:33] if you use an older version of a build it tends to be more stable [03:34] netlarip: you will find the hardware is very linux compatible or easy to make work === swoody_ is now known as swoody [03:34] okay so i installed slackware 12.2 with Lilo on the root partition and GRub chainloading lilo, i'm STILL getting 'Error 11: Unrecognised device string' when i try to boot Slackware from GRUB with this menu.lst: http://www.pastebin.org/4264 and fdisk -l: http://www.pastebin.org/4241 anyone know what im doing wrong here? [03:34] i'm in the current directory of all the files whose permissions i want to change, i typed in sudo chown -R $USER:$USER *, permissions don't change, my user name is aj [03:34] netlarip imo unless you pay less for a ubuntu comp i would just get the windows comp and keep the serial number.. and then just install ubuntu.. maybe dual boot [03:34] does the ssh server allow pub/priv key authentication by default? [03:35] StrangeCharm: sure [03:35] ActionParsnip- as in, it doesn't have to be specifically enabled? [03:35] ActionParsnip: I know it is for someone that has that iclination [03:35] ActionParsnip: that didn't work, nvidia drivers did not load. x wouldn't start without reconfig. back to default. All I'm trying to do is center the screen & switch to 1280x1024 in 60hz mode. Usually, I would edit the xorg.conf to do this, but this one barren & there are no comments for a guide. Plus xsync start/end aren't right. Is there an app I can install that adjusts this? [03:36] But not for someone that is looking to send email or browse the net [03:37] netlarip i honestly wouldnt recommend ubuntu to a non computer friendly person =D [03:37] netlarip: no, if its preinstalled yuo dont have to do any config, just like you dont buy a windows system and have to configure it [03:38] ActionParsnip: Exactly [03:38] gobucks09: you can edit xorg.conf as you normally world. it works the same [03:38] ActionParsnip: Dell does that right? [03:38] gobucks09: xorg.conf will superced anything that hal finds [03:39] netlarip: if you buy it from dell, yes [03:39] can someone explain to me how ACLs work? [03:39] Does anyone know if you can make it so when you use the volume control on your keyboard, the little box that shows where the volume is at doesn't come up? [03:40] Just I have noticed that Ubuntu is more user friendly once it is set up [03:40] Gain: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Access_control_list [03:40] netlarip: more usr friendly than what? [03:40] Windows [03:41] netlarip: The only thing I've seen that doesn't automatically just work hardware wise is wireless and of course your graphics card [03:41] netlarip: its personal preference and config really [03:41] alex__: mine works out of the box ;) [03:41] ActionParsnip: Maybe your wireless, but if you have a gfx card you had to install a driver =P [03:41] netlarip: it would depend on who you buy the computer from if it is a name brand installed by them then you should have plenty of support but one from a third party i would suggest windows then install linux [03:42] ActionParsnip: My wireless card is REALLY old... so I guess they never put drivers in the kernal for it... [03:42] alex: I've got a graphics card and didn't install any driver... [03:42] alex__: true but its part of my setup script, rips out about a gig of guff, installs java, flash and install nvidia driver then adds network config files and dns settings. Good times [03:42] mido1: Then you don't have full 3d functionality of it [03:43] ActionParsnip: i suppose , but I have used all three major os and Ubuntu was the eaiest to use [03:43] Indeed I have. [03:43] Does Xfce has anything similar to KDE's "Remote Places" that allows a user to browse to NFS & Samba shares? [03:43] ActionParsnip: That's more complicated than netlarip is planning on getting into ;) [03:43] Hi all, why my Transmission BitTorrent so fast download? Down 2 Mb/s and Up 115 Kb/s. on 129 peer. oh NO. NO. lo [03:43] anyone here familiar with access control lists in Ubuntu [03:43] netlarip: ubuntu isnt an OS per se [03:43] alex: But that card just doesn't require a proprietary driver. [03:43] netlarip: its a distribution of linux, have you tried BSD? [03:43] mido1: What card is it? [03:43] ActionParsnip: Well ok a distro then [03:44] netlarip: bsd is similar to linux but is a different os [03:44] alex: So, just if your card is not supported by open source drivers, you have to install proprietary ones. Otherwise, Ubuntu manages everything itself. [03:44] alex: Various. Intel onboard (which is no graphics card) and ATI Radeon 7500. [03:44] Why so fast? I hate Transmission BiTorrent. I Hate you. ever and ever. lol [03:44] netlarip: you will also find different quirks in each distribution you try [03:45] alex: Although an Matrox G450 in one of my PCs. [03:45] BitTorrent: you can gate it if you want, makes web browsing faster [03:45] ActionParsnip: Well ubuntu seem to have the most polish [03:45] mido1: I agree that onbard don't always, but I said a graphics card. And ok, you got me on the Matrox =P [03:45] And the ATI ;) [03:45] netlarip: if you gauge an OSs value by gloss then i pity yuo [03:46] ActionParsnip: No not for me [03:46] alex: You're right with all modern Nvidia and ATI/AMD cards. [03:46] ActionParsnip: For family [03:46] mido1: 95% of everyone with a graphics card falls into that category so... That's why I said what I did =P [03:46] netlarip: still the same, i'd rather something with a bit of performance [03:46] alex: And I agree. [03:47] alex: Luckily, with ubuntu, the driver installation is no problem. At least in most cases. [03:47] BitTorrent, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [03:47] ActionParsnip: Performance means little if it is not that intuitive [03:47] ActionParsnip: Thank you, I wanna download in all my life. ever and ever. yummy yummy. Down 2033 KB/s Up 123 KB/s. oh NO oh NO. please don't so fast. I hate you Transmission BitTorrent. [03:48] BitTorrent: use Deluge or another client if you need to limit speeds [03:48] mido1: Yeah. I just wish that ATI would get better drivers for linux >.> None of them do well with multiple monitor support =( [03:48] how can i get vbox to give me beter resolution than 800x600 with kubuntu host, ubuntu guest ? [03:48] BitTorrent: i believe that is off toppic but you should learn to throttle your client [03:48] BitTorrent: i do or it will max my connection and when you are looking after servers via RDP, you need the speed [03:48] oh wow, im still connected? [03:48] alex: What was the trouble with your graphics card? [03:48] Cyber_Akuma-Ubun: yup [03:49] oops [03:49] nnull: instal the guest additions === RiceStitcher_awa is now known as RiceStitcher [03:49] mido1: Well, on their last driver version, it would reset both screens to the lesser screens resolution every time I rebooted. [03:49] ActionParsnip: So you do not think Ubuntu performs well? [03:49] good thing I noticed, it would have finished downloading with an hour and install a ton of software [03:49] My Terminal will not let me type. What is wrong? I type in the command to reset Wine and then it asked for my password but would not register anything my keyboard typed. [03:49] Hello all [03:49] FLJohn: thats normal [03:49] to all: full moon tonight. I'm so happy. [03:49] mido1: Now this one, whenever I try to set up the Xinerama thing, when I reboot, X server never starts [03:50] it dosen't show oyu typing your password [03:50] mido1: Meant X session [03:50] netlarip: the default settings are pretty poor [03:50] alex: Hm! [03:50] nnull: here is an xorg.conf you can use http://jamesselvakumar.wordpress.com/2008/02/22/increasing-the-screen-resolution-of-ubuntu-710-on-virtualbox/ [03:50] alex: But you configured everything with nvidia-settings? [03:50] ActionParsnip: Ahh ok [03:50] Cyber_Akuma-Ubun: try running setxkbmap [03:50] nnull: you need to install the additions first [03:50] I just rebooted and would still not register. Why is that normal? [03:50] does anyone use scim, anthy ? [03:50] mido1: Sorry? [03:50] Is it possible to connect to a wireless network without using a GUI program such as Network-manager? [03:51] Peddy: yes [03:51] neno, yes [03:51] Peddy, sure [03:51] Peddy: networkmanager is just a front end for command line tools [03:51] mido1: It's an ATI card... I used their Catalyst Control Center... [03:51] bazhang, funny dude ... lol [03:51] alex: When you set up xinerama and changed the resolution, you did this via nvidia-settings, or manually in the xorg.conf? [03:51] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 Peddy [03:51] alex: Sorry. [03:51] Peddy: in short, iwconfig, iwlist, dhclient [03:51] mido1: You just had me confused for a second =P [03:52] alex: I thinking it's an nvidia card. [03:52] Peddy: sure, add the info to /etc/network/interfaces [03:52] ActionParsnip: cheers [03:52] +was [03:52] mido1: From everything I've heard nVidia cards work great with linux [03:52] Indeed they do. [03:52] Peddy: its how i configure my desktops. i also use static ip [03:53] Crap [03:53] Thanks bazhang and bruenig. The reason for this is because I have a headless 'server' with wireless, but it can't start X until a screen is detected (I'm VNCing in), and I can't VNC in until it's connected to the network :P [03:53] I always prefered ATI because of the free drivers. But nowadays... I'd prefer nvidia. [03:53] Woah! [03:53] I'll have a look, thanks ActionParsnip. [03:53] Peddy: you can use a virtual x server for vnc, i wouldnt run an x server on a server [03:53] mido1: Wtf rofl, I accidentally reset my internet connection, and I didn't get kicked out of IRC rofl [03:54] Peddy: why do you need vnc? [03:54] Lucky man, timeout was long enough ;-) [03:54] ActionParsnip, I just want to remotely be able to control the computer. I'll use whatever works best, but since Vinagre and its tools are included in a default installation, I tried them. [03:54] Access Control Lists anyone? [03:54] Peddy: ok but what are you VNCing over to do? [03:55] Gain: Complex topic. [03:55] Peddy: you will probably find VNC is not needed [03:55] Gain: check the manual pages for getfacl and setfacl [03:55] lstarnes are access control lists just the 9 bits though [03:55] that you set in CHMOD [03:55] or is it something like IBM's AIX [03:55] Gain: no [03:55] Gain: complex and generaly not needed if you understand standard unix authentication. [03:55] ActionParsnip, right. I read somewhere that X server is designed to work on a remote monitor, anyway? [03:55] Peddy: You might find xdmcp works/performs better than VNC [03:56] Gain: no. [03:56] Gain: the ones set with chmod are just permissions [03:56] BitTorrent, please dont send me any files [03:56] Peddy: yes you can forward x server apps [03:56] ActionParsnip, I'm just using it for managing torrents, folding and things like that. It's just an old machine that I found lying around :) [03:56] Peddy: if you install transmission, it will run without an x server and give a web interface [03:57] Peddy: folders can be managed via /etc/samba/smb.conf over ssh [03:57] Gain: With ACL, you could make a file readable to let's say five different, individual users without putting them into a group and set group access. [03:57] bazhang: oh No, I'm Sorry. what weather in china? [03:58] BitTorrent, lets discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic ; this channel is for support ONLY [03:58] bazhang: sorry. [03:58] mido1 then how does it differentiate from IBM's AIX Extended ACLs? [03:58] ActionParsnip, thanks for the suggestions. I have to get the wireless working without X first, though. [03:58] Peddy, ethernet? [03:58] ActionParsnip, I won't use a GUI then. [03:58] Gain: dunno. [03:59] Peddy: Deluge can also run in headless mode on the server and you can use the client on your desktop to connect to the server's backend... For file maintenance, you can use NFS/Samba/etc to mount the server as a drive... [03:59] bazhang, that's not an option, there aren't any phone lines near where I am, router is downstairs, not allowed to run ethernet etc.. [03:59] Gain: are AIX's Extended ACLs identical to posix ACLs? [03:59] lstarnes I am not sure what posix ACLs are to be honest [03:59] but AIX's is like a list of users who can get read [03:59] or group [03:59] Peddy, then follow ActionParsnip 's suggestion in fixing the configuration [03:59] Peddy: just a good option. its why the server install comes with no x server, its more secure due to less services running and what you want to do can be done with less impact to the lan than bloated vnc when you can simply use ssh or a web interface [03:59] but the thing is that, if there is 1 deny, then that person/group is denied [04:00] Gain: Same with me and the extended IBM ACLs. [04:00] Gain: if I remember correctly, AIX's ACLs are an implementation of posix's ACLs [04:00] continue to have trouble configuring xubuntu video. is KDE a better option than Xfce? Xfce has no option settings and no controls. Very limited and hard to use. [04:00] so say you have a list of ACLs first is deny read to Alice, second is give read to alice, Alice will not have access to the file [04:00] Thanks Oli``. I'll remember that (I'm also using Deluge right now) [04:00] since there is a deny in there [04:00] Gain: linux and many other unix-like operating systems also use posix ACls [04:00] hmmm [04:00] not possible to simply edit xorg.conf. Must write from scratch. [04:00] Gain: or at least have the ability to use them [04:00] I'll google it [04:01] Gain: actually, AIX's acls might not be posix acls [04:01] gobucks09: i can send you mine if you want [04:01] gobucks09: http://pastebin.com/f6231c3f5 [04:02] sure, I'll give it a shot. [04:02] gobucks09: Does xubuntu work in live cd mode? With graphical desktop? [04:03] I've used KDE controls on PCLinuxOS. They are much more comprehensive than Xfce. Is KDE under xubuntu similar? [04:03] mido1: x works fine. screen is offset to the right & can't display full res. [04:03] gobucks09: you mean kubuntu? [04:03] Oh, is that kde on xubuntu? [04:04] or is that a seperate install? [04:04] gobucks09: To get back to the start, just boot the live cd, then copy the xorg.conf to your harddisk. This restores the starting point. [04:04] xubuntu has the xfce desktop. kubuntu has the kde desktop [04:04] I just started using Ubuntu Server for the first time, and as i was hoping to make it headless, i'm using vnc4server.. it works perfect as long as i have a monitor plugged in, but if i boot the computer without a monitor, it just won't work.. anyone got any idea what to do? [04:04] hi can some one tell me how to set up a home network with ubuntu [04:04] gobucks09: kubuntu is a release of ubuntu that uses kde instead of gnome by defaulty [04:04] gobucks09: You can get ubunti with xfce called xubuntu, with kde called kubuntu, or with Gnome called ubuntu [04:04] does ext2 need msdos? or can it be done on other partition table types? [04:04] ok, got it. thanks [04:05] Guest79784: it does not need msdos [04:05] I picked xubuntu because of hardware constraints. [04:05] Guest79784: ext file formats can work with GPT or MBR [04:05] gobucks09: that's the usual reason for selecting it [04:05] skip: What's the problem with networking? [04:05] Hola buenas noches [04:06] Hola scorpius, que tal? [04:06] necesito que alguien me explique como entro en irc hispano [04:06] tengo una cuenta pero lo que quiero primero es conectar con el servidor [04:06] Anyone know how to integrate smooth wall with Dan's Guardian? [04:06] can someone please help me with getting java to work with firefox ? [04:06] !es | scorpius_ [04:06] scorpius_: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [04:06] ok. thnx richardcavell. i will attempt it. [04:07] i have java installed and also have it enabled in firefox yet it doesnt work =*( [04:07] scorpius_: Mellamo un poco espanol, sorry. [04:07] lstarnes got a link that explains Linux ACLs and how it works [04:07] am trying to share files between my computer an 2 laptops using ubuntu 9.04 can any one help me with this i have no clu wot to do [04:07] Gain: http://www.suse.de/~agruen/acl/linux-acls/online/ [04:07] nDevastator: Have you installed the sun java 6 plugin? [04:07] why am i not able to log in via ssh with key-based authentication using putty (the key is refused) [04:08] nDevastator: is your ubuntu 64bit? [04:08] alex__ i think its jre [04:08] actionparsnip no [04:08] tha [04:08] !java | nDevastator [04:08] nDevastator: 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 [04:08] thanks [04:08] StrangeCharm: check the logs. [04:08] nDevastator: Try sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin restart your browser and try again [04:09] cast- a novel and ingenious idea! [04:09] nDevastator: make sure you create a symlink to the .so file in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ and /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/ [04:09] nDevastator: you need libjavaplugin_oji.so [04:09] some hacker here [04:10] actionparsnip o okay i made a symlink in /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.5/plugins [04:10] nDevastator: you can run: sudo find / -name libjavaplugin_oji.so [04:10] cast- know where sshd keeps its logs? [04:10] ActionParsnip: Any reason not to just use the plugin from the repositories? [04:10] StrangeCharm: investigate /var/log/, probably auth [04:10] alex__: no idea, thats what is needed though [04:10] is anything other than msdos that's worth the change? [04:10] alex__: i have a script i found online that installs native 64bit java :) [04:10] StrangeCharm: cat /var/log/auth.log | grep sshd [04:11] sikpits87: There was a configuration frontend for samba..... [04:11] ActionParsnip: You just love scripts ;) [04:11] thanks lstarnes [04:11] bazhang: somebody intruder to my computer. my firewall tell me. what can I do? open all port? no file classified I think. [04:11] alguem aki [04:11] sorry am a noob wot does that meen [04:11] sikpits87: Install system-config-samba. [04:11] alex__: i do, i have nearly 1gb of scripts [04:11] richardcavell: yeah, prolly was a bad choice. Too stripped & needs manual configuration. I'm downloading kubuntu right now. This will take a while. [04:12] sikpits87: Will show up in you system settings. [04:12] ActionParsnip: Holy S**t ;) [04:12] alex__: want the 64bit java script? [04:12] gobucks09: do you have the hardware for it? I don't think KDE is any easier on the hardware than GNOME [04:12] ActionParsnip: Ok. lol [04:12] rc: maybe not on the hardware, but much easier on the brain. [04:12] need help to attack a site [04:13] gobucks09: lol [04:13] I'll find out if I have the hardware or not in a little bit. === schnoodles-a is now known as schnoodles [04:13] and a software company [04:13] alex__: http://pastebin.com/f23e8e240 [04:13] my sound isn't working, it has previously been autodetected by linux every other time i installed it, and it's been so long since windows didn't support it out of the box that i dont even remember what model it is >.. [04:13] gobucks09: if you run it from a live CD it will be much slower and more temperamental than if you boot it from hard disk [04:14] Where are the crackers of the room [04:14] ne0: we do not condone attacks here [04:15] I give him 90 seconds [04:15] mido1: i have installed system-config-samba wot do i do now [04:15] Right, my goal is to convert about 4 W98 machines to Linux. So I don't even want to mess with the CD live version. The machines have plenty of disk, PIII at 700MHz. Just a little low on RAM. [04:15] sikpits87: on both machines? [04:15] i have a gateway p6831fx, why is my sound not working out of the box anymore while it did in the past [04:15] gobucks09: how much RAM? [04:15] sorry [04:15] and how can i rectify the situation === saulus_ is now known as SauLus [04:15] gobucks09: you should be able to run fine.... [04:16] ne0: start reading. =) http://www.astalavista.com/ [04:16] sikpits87: Look in you system settings menu. [04:16] 1 GB, 512 & one is 256 [04:16] no jus the one shall i install on all computers [04:16] sikpits87: There's a new programme. [04:16] ashuashua [04:16] what? [04:16] why that? [04:16] gobucks09: the GNOME version will run fine on 1 Gig, okay on the 512 and probably acceptably on the 256 [04:17] sikpits87: install samba on all computers [04:17] what about K? [04:17] someone? help? [04:17] sikpits87: If you want to share a directory of this computer with another, you have to install and use system-config-samba on this computer. [04:17] gobucks09: they'll be fine with kubuntu. The 256 Meg computer might be a bit slow, but make sure you give it a swapfile [04:17] idt/sigmatel audio not working out of the box [04:17] ne0: links at bottom. [04:17] ne0: what you're trying to do is likely unethical and possibly illegal [04:17] it has in prior builds to 9.04, why? [04:18] ok wil install on cpu now [04:18] ne0: and this channel is only for issues related to ubuntu [04:18] richardcavell: Come one... KDE on a 256 Meg machine... let him go... [04:18] someone please... [04:18] stop paying attention to illegal-man and help me with my legitimate problem [04:18] :/ [04:18] rvn: please be patient [04:19] mido1: he wants them all to have the same distro, so I'm suggesting he installs kubuntu on all of them [04:19] ALSA ERROR hw_params: set_near (RATE) [04:19] value = 44100 : No such file or directory [04:19] anyone? [04:19] rvn: if you give the output of: lspci | grep -i audio [04:19] Does anyone know if you can make it so when you use the volume control on your keyboard, the little box that shows where the volume is at doesn't come up? [04:19] ActionParsnip, the wifi connection worked! (took so long because I had to connect a monitor, keyboard and mouse). Where should I add those commands so they are executed at every boot? [04:19] this is while running a libasoun_debug for espeak [04:19] 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) === chibi is now known as Guest70469 [04:19] sorry [04:20] i have a 82801db [04:20] whats ur issue?

For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [04:20] richardcavell: Okay, but kubuntu with KDE 4 on a 256 Meg machine is slower than slow... [04:20] okay i got it finally thanks everyone [04:20] its not making any sound [04:20] I have a 82801G [04:20] i have a jaunty system with a blank xorg.conf. everything works, but I want to switch to 16-bit color. How can I do this?

[04:21] right [04:21] Peddy: sudo nano /etc/rc.local [04:21] mido1: well I guess he could go with xubuntu [04:21] Anybody know a safe way to hide ip [04:21] and you have tried going to system>admin software driver? [04:21] gobucks09: Better fetch some more memory for the machine. [04:21] s [04:21] gobucks09: yeah. It shouldn't cost much to upgrade them all to 1 Gig [04:21] ne0: across all of the internet, or on just this irc network? [04:21] we'll know any minute now [04:22] gobucks09: Just be warned, it will be darn slow because of the low memory. [04:22] actually most of them max out at 512 [04:22] theso anyone want to help me with this espeak issue [04:22] :) [04:23] gobucks09: 512 MB is much better. [04:23] gobucks09: well, 512 would be heaps better than 256 [04:23] shamusadamus: i had that too but only over ssh [04:23] mido1: thx for help think al be able to figure the rest out [04:23] internet [04:23] sikpits87: Did you find the new config app? [04:23] xfce runs very nicely. [04:24] gobucks09: good [04:24] gobucks09: xfce is _much_ smaller than KDE. [04:24] gobucks09: i prefer lxde personally [04:24] ssh audio? [04:24] * LinuxGold looks around. [04:24] shamusadamus: no, the audio come out of the ssh server system [04:24] * richardcavell stares at LinuxGold [04:24] what's what's lxde? [04:24] * LinuxGold glares back [04:24] :) [04:24] gobucks09: Just give kubuntu a try. It's really cool. [04:24] * Scunizi learks in a corner [04:24] lxde is a desktop environment [04:24] ohhh, ok i was confused [04:24] mido1: yeh found it in installed on the 2 cpu i wanted to share files between [04:25] gobucks09: http://pud-linux.sourceforge.net/screenshot/pud-lxde-2.jpg [04:25] hi [04:25] gobucks09: But don't wonder if it's slow, then think about upgrading the memory. Memory is rather cheap at the moment. [04:25] * LinuxGold wonders if there is any application equivalent to Office, something that utilitizes Exchange 2007 [04:25] so do you think that could have anything to do with my issue, or would i have gotten a different error [04:25] sikpits87: Great! [04:25] Okay hello all =) [04:25] hello [04:25] LinuxGold: ther eisn't and stop /meing [04:25] sikpits87: You'll find the shares in the network "place" then. [04:25] Hey Sham [04:25] brueing: yes sir. [04:26] i have a thumb drive 16GB (sandisk titanium). I would like to give 4GB for ubuntu installation and the rest as FAT32. Question: which filesystem to implement on the thumbdrive ? ext4 ? ext3 ? others ? [04:26] I'm trying to figure out a way to replace Windows XP with ubuntu and still use Exchange 2007 for my work laptop. [04:26] I just started using Ubuntu Server for the first time, and as i was hoping to make it headless, i'm using vnc4server.. it works perfect as long as i have a monitor plugged in, but if i boot the computer without a monitor, it just won't work.. anyone got any idea what to do? [04:26] cam^: ext3 [04:26] LinuxGold, Wine [04:26] sweet, i have a frind * a single tearrolls down my cheek* [04:26] cam^: ext2 as it writes less to the partition [04:26] Too addicted with Outlook [04:26] So I have a problem, and am quite unsure of what it means [04:26] :P [04:26] rvn: hmm... [04:26] shamusadamus: We do hear you, but obviously nobody can help. [04:26] :) [04:26] cam^: i don't recommend fat32. its not very robust [04:27] well on my Asus MoBo [04:27] LinuxGold: evolution has an exchange plugin.. also you might look at zimbra desktop.. it might as well. [04:27] ActionParsnip: Yeah, I was thinking that you want a filesystem that writes a minimum [04:27] Guess I will be happy with dual then. === Odin is now known as Guest58350 === Guest58350 is now known as th0r [04:27] i see, just hoping new people might have a solution [04:27] acunizi: ok, will check that out. thanks. [04:27] ActionParsnip fat32 will be on the partition to "share" between pc's .. [04:27] because you wearing out usb drives is common? [04:27] Vakz: Just a lucky guess: It's not perhaps that the mainboard BIOS is stuck because of no monitor/keyboard? [04:27] where are the ubuntu screen themes (ubuntu light, dark, black &c) stored? how could i copy them to another host? [04:27] mido1: i have made the shares but my cpu's carnt see each other [04:27] it just shut itself down, So i tried everything eventually hooked a spare p supply to nothing but the 24 pin ATX power conn [04:28] cam^: linux can read and write to ntfs using ntfs-3g [04:28] well that made me think psupply issue [04:28] and i think action parsnip might be able to help, had a similar issue [04:28] so i ordered anothewr [04:28] Does anyone know if you can make it so when you use the volume control on your keyboard, the little box that shows where the volume is at doesn't come up? === mike is now known as Guest15159 [04:28] ActionParsnip ok.. so u'll go for ext2 instead of ext3/4 [04:29] cam^: I think so too [04:29] problem is i can hook up 24 pin Pwr connector but if i plug in the 8-pin atx 12 conn it won't start [04:29] sikpits87: Hm. They normally should... [04:29] alex__, i know that u definitely can, i think it's related to ACPI scripts, i can't tell ya more [04:29] my sytems a little over 7 months old any suggestions? [04:29] sikpits87: how are you trying to view one machine from the other? [04:29] ShaRON: Do you have an extra CPU to try out by any chance? =D [04:29] cam^: ext3/4 write to the jounal a fair bit which will shorten the life of the device [04:29] nope nada [04:30] ShaRON: this is ubuntu support, jion #hardware for hardware issues [04:30] mido1: places then network [04:30] ShaRON: Sounds like the problem is either in the mobo connector, or the CPU [04:30] can someone tell me if powerdvd9 will work on wine? [04:31] So I should see if CPU is bad then if that fails get new MoBo? [04:31] richardcavell: places then network [04:31] ShaRON: that sounds like a question for the #hardware channel [04:31] ok.. now another question... are there any real difference between installing ubuntu on the thumbdrive and creating this USB boot key with persistence files enabled ? [04:31] kk [04:31] ty [04:31] sikpits87: have you tried typing in the IP number? [04:32] cam^: If there is, I haven't found it. [04:32] ActionParsnip: I've booted lxde before. I remember the screen but can't remember the distro. Who uses it? [04:32] hmm, I would bust out my multimeter, before, getting a whole new mobo, just to check the continuity, and see if there is something wrong (bad trace or something) [04:32] will it load the bios? [04:32] gobucks09: me for one [04:32] gobucks09: im also on a team to make Lubuntu :) [04:33] richardcavell: sorry am new to linux how do i do that is it thru connect to server [04:33] hello friends, I am having problems using my second monitor as an extension of my desktop, for the time being, it's just a duplication of the other monitor [04:33] a action, do you think i might be having the problem same as you did, and what was your solution? the espeak alsa errer [04:34] would you guys know if an xbox 360 would be able to play .avi files through ushare? [04:34] alex__ in a way, booting using the image creates a lot of mfs ? r/w should be less than if normal installation ? [04:34] ActionParsnip, that static manual IP worked beautifully. I'm going to do it for my main desktop now as well :-P [04:34] manually set static IP* [04:34] Cam^: The little bit I've messed with it, I didn't see any noticable performance difference [04:34] Peddy: makes boots faster too [04:35] sikpits87: I don't know enough to advise you [04:36] * richardcavell is logging off to save taking bandwidth from Steam, which is downloading Half-Life. [04:36] so i got my iphone syncing with virtualbox [04:36] cooper77z: what's your video controller?

[04:39] gonna give both evolution and zimbra a try [04:39] bbl [04:39] gobucks09 no, 8.04.2 with gnome [04:39] acdspit00: Yes, simply connect the mouse. [04:39] proc bus input devices sees it however it doesn't work [04:39] ActionParsnip: im actually trying to install the guestadditions INSIDE the guest, that possible? [04:39] how do i get my sound working!? [04:40] >.< [04:40] did you look in your system settings menu list? [04:40] know what the guest additions are called at all ActionParsnip? [04:40] nnull: yes, shutdown the guest, set the additions iso to mount at boot [04:40] i dont know my way around the graphical interface, gobucks09 [04:40] yes, I looked in the gui system list gobucks09 [04:40] nnull: you need to click devices -> download guest additions when the guest is booted [04:41] ActionParsnip: i tried that and it killed it, cant i apt-get the ga's? [04:41] if mouse doesn't work when connected is there something i need to go change? [04:41] gobucks09: "lspci | grep VGA" should help you helping... [04:41] the guest has networking ActionParsnip [04:41] acdspit00: Which kind of mouse? [04:42] like edit my xorg.conf file [04:42] its a logitech [04:42] 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) [04:42] doesnt work [04:42] PS/2? USB? Other? [04:42] I know it's a simple fix to add a second monitor in hardy, but I can't find the solution [04:42] usb [04:42] 2.4 ghz [04:42] acdspit00: Ah, with proprietary usb dongle? [04:42] Sorry can't help with gnome (or is it gmoan) :) I've done this on an nvidia system with KDE. The nvidia driver makes it very easy. do what mid1 says. [04:42] yes [04:43] wireless [04:43] nnull: its just an iso file [04:43] What is a CTCP ping? [04:43] the signal is there, the second monitor is perfect, it's just not extending the desktop [04:43] acdspit00: Do you know how to handle the command line (a bit)? [04:43] yea [04:43] acdspit00, whether its wireless or not is irrelevant, as the pc doesnt know the diff, just that its usb [04:43] acdspit00: Remove the dongle, then have a look into the directory /dev/input. [04:44] It's because x doesn't know you have 2 monitors. [04:44] nnull: also depends which vbox version you have too [04:44] acdspit00: Connect the dongle, and look again. There should be one event device more than before. [04:44] ActionParsnip: i downloaded one from sun, used it, and it installed but when i restarted the ubuntu graphics was broken [04:44] acdspit00: (which should also show up in the syslog) [04:44] i think clamav is natively bundled in the os but how do i access it to run a scan [04:44] did you try "lspci | grep VGA" as mido1 suggested? [04:44] how can i make jaunty run in 16-bit color? there is no display info in xorg.conf [04:44] what menu is clamav hidden under [04:44] ActionParsnip: 2.1.4 ose [04:45] nnull: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/virtualbox-guest-addons.html [04:45] what's a ctcp ping? Someone sent me one. Is it a risk to me? [04:45] mouse 2 has been added [04:45] mouse2 i mean [04:45] nnull: http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.1.4/VBoxGuestAdditions_2.1.4.iso [04:45] cooper: Do that in a terminal window. [04:45] acdspit00: good. [04:46] i just finished the xp install in virtualbox [04:46] nnull: mount that as the cd drive, you can then follow that guide [04:46] UO: all a ctcp ping does it asks your client to send a response (usually identical to the request) in order to determine latency [04:46] it works great with the help of those in channel #vbox [04:46] acdspit00: But no event device? [04:46] lstarnes, why would someone send me a ctcp ping? [04:46] i am loading the 40,000 windoze updates [04:46] how do i access clamav [04:46] what menu is it in [04:46] didn't see anything pop up when i plugged it in [04:46] UO: to determine how long it takes your client to recieve a message from that user [04:47] hdhgfsgfksf [04:47] lstarnes, thanks. i googled it and minimal information came up [04:47] lstarnes, thanks for the help. ;p [04:47] UO: if several are sent within a short space of time, it could cause your client to lag due to sending too many responses at once [04:47] When setting up klogd it requests QRZ and locator. What are they? I want to enable it so that I can log keystrokes that the kernel doesn't recognize. [04:47] acdspit00: Hmpf. mice are handled differently... [04:47] nikolatesla: you use it at cli [04:47] what command to invoke clamav [04:47] nikolatesla: sudo freshclam to update [04:48] sudo clamav ? [04:48] UO: sometimes a large number of pings are sent in order to cause that lag [04:48] nikolatesla, gksudo clamav? [04:48] sudo freshclam [04:48] ActionParsnip: ill try this iso, i did everything the walkthrough said L:< thx tho ill try it with this new iso [04:48] UO: but that isn't very common [04:48] but how do i run a scan [04:48] does it reside in the background [04:48] did you try "lspci | grep VGA" as mido1 suggested? cooper: Do that in a terminal window. bash bad command [04:48] acdspit00: I was suggesting using evtest to see if there are any signals coming to the system, but this only work for event devices, not for mices... [04:48] It should give me an output when that happens [04:48] nikolatesla: see the manual page for clamscan (man clamscan) [04:48] ActionParsnip: it seems to be identical to the one i have :x [04:49] is there a keyboard shortcc [04:49] nikolatesla: no [04:49] nikolatesla: clamscan -i /home/$USER [04:49] keyboard shortcut to get terminal in a window instead of full screen [04:49] nikolatesla: or sudo clamscan -i / [04:49] thanks for your help [04:50] nnull: set it as the cd drive then boot the guest, you will then be able to mount the cd with: sudo mount -a [04:50] midol evtest..does that give gtk output or x? [04:50] what's the #command for beginners ubuntu chat, please? [04:50] Veritatis: this is it [04:50] Veritatis: oops. [04:50] cooper77z: this is it [04:50] cooper77z: #ubuntu is a channel name, not a command [04:50] midol: i saw some doc's saying to edit xorg.conf to make it work [04:50] acdspit00: In your xorg.conf, which device is mentioned in the mouse section? [04:50] ActionParsnip: okie ill give it a try, gunna quickly reinstall ubuntu and take a snapshot so i have something to work with..! [04:50] i dont understan this [04:51] no, sltarnes, the /command [04:51] cooper77z: /join #ubuntu [04:51] ada orang indo ga??? [04:51] acdspit00: Ah, are you using a notebook with trackpoint/trackpad? [04:51] yea [04:51] netbook [04:52] do i have to disable trackpoint? [04:52] acdspit00: Okay, then you only have the synaptics driver by default, iirc. [04:52] acdspit00: No, they work combined. [04:52] I don't want to mess up my os over this so I need to talk to people who won't just ask me the same questions over and over [04:52] package manager or apt get what do i need to dl [04:52] midol xev returns values for xmodmap does evtest do the same? [04:53] MY SOUND ISNT WORKING AND IVE BEEN IGNORED FOR 40 MINUTES [04:53] how many "InputDevice" sections do you have in your xorg.conf? [04:53] ICH8 INTEL HD AUDIO [04:53] !caps [04:53] PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [04:53] rvn: stop using caps [04:53] !boot | Peddy [04:53] Peddy, please see my private message [04:53] !alsa | rvn [04:53] rvn: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [04:53] Caps lock key and sound [04:53] rvn: lsmod | grep snd_hda_intel [04:54] is it #beginners-ubuntu on free node? [04:54] acdspit00: how many "InputDevice" sections do you have in your xorg.conf? [04:54] lstarnes, it returned 5 lines [04:54] cooper77z: I don't think it's on freenode [04:54] do I have to restart nautilus to use new nautilus-scripts? [04:54] rvn: does one of them start with snd_hda_intel? [04:54] midol: /etc/X11/xorg.conf right? [04:54] lstarnes, the first, then 557492 4 [04:54] right. [04:55] where is it lstarnes? [04:55] cooper77z: this is it. [04:55] Hello all... I need some help setting up MythTV [04:55] I have it installed, but can't get it to detect any channels [04:55] acdspit00: right, /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:55] lstarnes, can you please help me add a second moniter to extend my desktop space? [04:55] can someone help me.. how to tweak themes? like a transparent window sumthing [04:55] cooper77z: I don't know how to do that, sorry [04:55] lstarnes, ? [04:55] midol: I have device, monitor, and screen sections thats it [04:55] dublued2: what tuner card do you have? [04:56] rvn: the module appears to be loaded [04:56] cooper77z, what graphics card do you have? [04:56] and it wont make sound [04:56] thanks for being honest, lstarnes, I don't know how either [04:56] cooper77z: what graphics card are you using? [04:56] acdspit00: Okay, then you need two new sections. [04:56] Peddy, why should it matter, it's digital [04:56] Jeruvy: it's a hauppauge WIN TV HVR 850 [04:56] rvn: Tried running 'alsamixer' from your terminal? [04:56] cooper77z: if we know what hardware you're using for this, we can help you more easily [04:56] soreau, appears just fine, multiple bars none muted [04:57] cooper77z, the driver support for Linux vary from graphics card to graphics card. [04:57] ok what's the ls command again lstarnes [04:57] IDT 92HD71B8X chip it says [04:57] cooper77z, lspci [04:57] cooper77z: lspci | grep -i vga [04:57] cooper77z, the output may be digital, but what's sent to the output is triggered by the operating system. [04:58] Is [04:58] Peddy and lstarnes, its VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 65x/M650/740 PCI/AGP VGA Display Adapter [04:58] midol: what to add [04:58] midol: link me if you want [04:58] Jeruvy: 'lsusb' command lists it as "Bus 001 Device 003: ID 2040:7240 Hauppauge" [04:58] is there a tostring function in #!/bin/bash scripts? [04:58] acdspit00: Didn't you receive the query? [04:58] Royall: what do you mean by a "tostring function"? [04:59] cooper77z, if you plug in both monitors (I assume your card has 2 outputs), and go to System>Preferences>Screen Resolution, is the second monitor shown there? [04:59] Royall: you could also try asking in #bash, which is a channel just for bash [04:59] I am running a laptop peddy, and not it's not [04:59] acdspit00: Did you receive the query with the two sections to add? [04:59] lstarnes: a function that converts the data into a string. I'm trying to use a script in nautilus-scripts to pass the selected file path to a .py [05:00] cooper77z, oh, right, so you want the output shown on your laptop's LCD plus an external monitor? [05:00] anyone know anything about my alsa error in E SPEAK [05:00] When setting up klogd it asks for QRZ and locator. What does that mean? Or what does it want? [05:00] with something like script-worker python myscript.py $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_URIS [05:00] Royall: store the data as a variable [05:00] No, peddy, I want my second monitor to be more viewing space :) [05:00] midol: where would of the query came from? [05:00] Royall: then interpolate it in the string using ${name-of-variable} [05:01] There should be a new window or so. [05:01] dublued2: did you confirm the card is working good? So it's just a problem of finding channels? [05:01] Okay, there was somewhere a URL where to post code... does anybody remember? [05:01] is eeebuntu the best ubuntu I can install on my 1000H eeepc? [05:01] peddy, my second monitor is already a duplication [05:01] mido1: http://paste.ubuntu.com [05:01] midol: oh okay this program had the window hidden [05:01] midol: i found it [05:01] lstarnes: Thanks! [05:02] cooper77z, you're definitely going to need drivers of some sort. That is 'special' higher-level functionality. Monitor cloning is more low-level, which is why it's working. [05:02] acdspit00: Ah, did you find everything? [05:02] there are 1289 of you, someone help me fix this damn sound [05:02] it has drivers, it does not work [05:02] intel ich8 [05:02] drivers can be a pain in the arse, are you certain peddy? [05:02] Jeruvy: i assumed since the card was detected by ubuntu, and is also detected in MythTV that it is working [05:02] Jeruvy: is there a method to test if it is good? [05:02] theres no cookie option on FF3.5 ? [05:03] rvn: I'm currently researching the use of that card with ubuntu [05:03] midol: yes [05:03] rvn: if you can be patient I would be glad to help you [05:03] alright, i didnt know [05:03] midol: just refreshing my memory of vim real quick [05:03] I'll be needing some answers. [05:03] :/usr/share/espeak-data$ LIBASOUND_DEBUG=1 espeak "This is a test." [05:03] : ALSA ERROR hw_params: set_near (RATE) [05:03] value = 44100 : No such file or directory [05:03] rvn: if nobody answers, don't assume that nobody knows that you're here [05:03] acdspit00: You'll have to restart the X server after modifying your xorg.conf. Logout and log in again is normally sufficient. [05:04] cant get correct audio in epeak' [05:04] shamusadamus use the pastebin, pappy! [05:04] cooper77z, could you do 'glxinfo | grep -i direct' please? [05:04] peddy, what will that do? [05:04] rvn: you are using 9.04, right? [05:05] lstarnes, YES [05:05] !nice [05:05] 'Nice' is a property of a process that determines how willing it is to give CPU time to other processes. A higher value makes it more likely to give away time. A negative value makes it less likely. Values are from -19 to 19, with 0 being the default. For more information, type 'man nice' at a terminal. [05:05] sry caps [05:05] dublued2: you should confirm first..check this link out for details: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV [05:05] rvn: ok. I was just making sure [05:05] Jeruvy: ok thanks, will return with results [05:05] peddy? [05:05] cooper77z, it's just checking if your graphics has direct rendering (hardware acceleration). I have no idea if there are Linux drivers for SiS chipsets. [05:05] When setting up klogd it asks for QRZ and locator. What does that mean? Or what does it want? [05:05] rvn is using 9.04 [05:06] I think you are solving it the long way, peddy [05:06] what program that can edit windows tranparancy? [05:06] I know you folks are busy answering, I just run that by after it scrolls off. I figure I am in queue..LOL [05:07] Lostinspace_46: Could you post the exact message? [05:07] cooper77z, I've never owned a laptop, or anything at all with a SiS chipset. If you have a better idea, please, go ahead and try it. Sorry that I can't help :/ [05:08] Thanks for trying peddy :) [05:08] * richardcavell is going to play Half-Life now. :) [05:08] when is the next LTS version coming? [05:08] cooper77z, make sure xserver-xorg-video-sis is installed. [05:08] !lts [05:08] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be 10.04 [05:08] thehook: 10.04 [05:08] thats not for long.. [05:08] cooper77z, make sure xserver-xorg-video-sis is installed. how??? [05:09] So... they release an LTS every 2 years? [05:09] mm I thought 10.10 was LTS [05:09] cooper77z, do 'apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-sis'. [05:09] thehook: But 10.04 is not confirmed yet, due to syncing between Debian an Ubuntu, the next LTS could be delayed to 10.10. [05:09] alex__: approximately [05:09] it is a klogd setup box. It just has 2 places to type..one is QRZ and the other is locator [05:09] I used -f, cuz I can't open the regular log file [05:10] what sort of an animal would have never owned a laptop?? [05:10] help pls. what program that can edit windows tranparancy? [05:10] Lostinspace_46: Extremely strange! [05:10] mataks: are you using compiz? [05:10] peddy, it's just a carrot flashing at a prompt [05:10] lstarnes: yes i have compiz.. [05:10] what I am trying to do is get the error messages when the kernel doesn't recognize a key press [05:11] mataks, then compiz controls window transparency [05:11] Lostinspace_46: QRZ is the radio amateur short for "name of the station that has called", and the locator is a geographcal string like JO51XM. [05:11] cooper77z, don't enter the quotation marks. [05:11] I didn't peddy [05:11] coz_: do i have to download it? im just new in linux.. i just have a fresh install yesterday [05:11] mataks: you could try system > preferebnces > adcanced desktop effects settings [05:11] mataks, no is this ubuntu 9.04? [05:12] does it want a QSL card too? [05:12] lol [05:12] cooper77z, do apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-sis [05:12] coz_, : yes im using ubuntu 9.04 [05:12] Lostinspace_46: Never heared it in connection with klogd! [05:12] what will that do peddy? [05:12] my Skype Audio feature nt working ,?? Audio playback problem ?? Pls tell the solution [05:12] mataks, ok and which video card ? in terminal lspci | grep -i vga [05:12] my Skype Audio feature nt working ,?? Audio playback problem ?? Pls tell the solution [05:12] mataks: if you don't have that, instakll compizconfig-settings-manager or ccsm [05:12] lstarnes, : i can't see advance desktop effects settings in my preferences [05:12] midol my dad was a ham for years [05:12] cooper77z, check if the package is installed.. [05:12] *install [05:12] wz9wzw [05:13] coz: 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G70 [GeForce 7300 GT] (rev a1) [05:13] mataks, let me know the video card first and then we will install ccsm [05:13] mataks: install apropraite drivers then u can see [05:13] Lostinspace_46: Just try: his callsign and the locator I named. [05:13] cooper77z, if it still shows a carrot, do dpkg -l | grep -i xserver-xorg-video-sis [05:13] lstarnes, : i already have compizcoinfog-settings-manager [05:13] mataks, ok and did you already install the nvidia driver via system/administratioin/hardware drivers? [05:13] cooper77z, and tell me what it says [05:13] Lostinspace_46: Althoug I can't imagin faintest what klogd will do with these datas. [05:13] yes i use the 17 something [05:13] cmidol Can't hurt I quess [05:13] @mataks: do u have Installed proper drivers ?? [05:13] mataks: you should be able to change transparency through there [05:13] mataks, ok and did you reboot after installing that driver?? [05:14] coz_, : yes i reboot many times. :) [05:14] mataks, ok open a terminal and type ccsm [05:14] mataks, tell if anything opens [05:14] i can see compiz-settings-manager in my preferences but not advance destkop effects [05:14] mataks, thats what you want [05:14] it open compiz [05:14] mataks, right that is ccsm or compizconfig settings manager [05:15] peddy, Installed: 1:0.9.3-6 [05:15] Candidate: 1:0.9.3-6 [05:15] Version table: [05:15] *** 1:0.9.3-6 0 [05:15] 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages [05:15] 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status [05:15] cooper77z: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:15] coz_, ok which setttings here can change windows transparancy [05:15] mataks, ok what is it you want to do with the windows [05:15] ;] [05:15] my Skype Audio feature nt working ,?? Audio playback problem ?? Pls tell the solution [05:15] sorry floodbotl [05:16] my Skype Audio feature nt working ,?? Audio playback problem ?? Pls tell the solution [05:16] indistylo: please avoid repeating [05:16] thanks cooper77z :P. Well that seems OK. The monitor is connected through VGA, right? [05:16] ok lstarnes [05:16] mataks, in that ccsm under the Accessibility plugn you can change or add windows under the "Opacity" tab [05:16] puchy :P [05:16] peddy, it's a little 18 pin or so plug on the back of my laptop [05:16] rvn: I'm not sure if you've tried this already, but go to System > Preferences > Sound [05:16] HI [05:16] cooper77z, is it blue? [05:16] any Givers for solution? [05:16] when i install guest additions on ubuntu it says "Warning Error Unknown version of windows x system installed, not installing x system drivers." after i install it... then i can boot into it after reboot? [05:17] indistylo: we need more details [05:17] the casing, peddy? [05:17] cooper77z, the connector :) [05:17] lstarnes, i hav made progress with ppl in #lad, the sound works, but intermittently, and only thru headphones so far [05:17] mataks, if you want "all" windows to be transparent then in the "Window specific settings" fiels type any if you want specific windows to be transparent let me know which ones [05:17] I am sure it's vga, peddy [05:17] indistylo: do you know what sound settings skype is using? which sound card are you using? [05:17] mataks, that should be the window specific "field" [05:17] Hello!. How do I find out, in a terminal, what my processor speed is? [05:18] This isn't really an Ubuntu question, but more of a general linux question. Hope it's all right. I have a 4GB IBM Microdrive. Just got back from vacation and it looks like my USB reader took out the partition table. fdisk -l gives: "Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table". I'm sure the pictures are still on the drive, but I don't know how to get it to mount so I can try and recover them. Anybody have any ideas? If th [05:18] cat /proc/cpuinfo [05:18] crunchbang [05:18] why is echo -e in a script always showing before the text? [05:18] rvn: what settings do you have in sound preferences? [05:18] @lstarnes : [05:18] midol Be damned if that wasn't exactly what it wanted. It said I didn't have the info in the righ file did I want to continue without it. I said yes. I would need a major ingeography to figure out the nevt window that opened [05:18] @lstarnes :00:00.0 Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Xpress 200 Host Bridge (rev 01) [05:18] 00:01.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 PCI Bridge [05:18] 00:11.0 IDE interface: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 Serial ATA Controller (rev 80) [05:18] 00:12.0 IDE interface: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 Serial ATA Controller (rev 80) [05:18] 00:13.0 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 USB Host Controller (rev 80) [05:18] 00:13.1 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 USB Host Controller (rev 80) [05:18] indistylo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[05:18] lstarnes, autodetect, audodetect, autodetect, alsa, capture hda intel, respectively [05:18] indistylo: lspci | grep audio [05:19] mataks, you still here? [05:19] peddy? [05:19] rvn: change the first four to pulseaudio [05:19] rvn: awesome! thanks [05:19] crunchbang, np [05:19] how can i find out what video formats i can use? [05:20] kelli, you can use them all [05:20] crunchbang, also cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i Mhz [05:20] nb72: Just a moment. [05:20] guys, i need help, please! I download the youtube-dl.sh but, in the terminal when I type "./youtube-dl.sh" show it "deny permission". What can I do? Yes, i'm with root. [05:20] wont work on some sites [05:20] Lostinspace_46: Sorry, I'm helpless. [05:20] kelli: mplayer has better web video support then vlc [05:20] midol: whats the command again to open a file with vim as writable? [05:20] lstarnes, no damn sound :/ [05:20] cooper77z, take a look at this guide: I think Merged Framebuffer or Bigdesktop may work for you - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174 [05:21] hats what i use [05:21] skeletal, sometimes the terminal thinks it's a different user, maybe remove a memory device and reboot? [05:21] mataks, also you can meet me in #compiz [05:21] midol: I thought it was just pressing i and :wq to save and exit [05:21] acdspit00: It's normally opened writeable. Or don't you have the rights? Then sudo vim filename should help [05:21] Um, can you guys help me with the install of ubuntu 9.04, the gparted says no devices detected [05:21] kelli: did you install the w32codecs [05:21] still i cant see all videostreaming [05:21] acdspit00: Escape, then :wq [05:21] midol No problem. Do you by any chance know a way to get the error msgs from the kernel? I can't open syslog [05:21] It shouldn't be that difficult, peddy [05:21] no [05:21] cooper77z, actually, try Xinerama and Bigdesktop only. [05:22] that1guythatnnee, are you going to dual boot with windows? [05:22] Lostinspace_46: Only via dmesg. [05:22] no [05:22] cooper77z, OK, just bookmark that site as a last resort. Good luck. [05:22] midol I just want to see what key presses it doesn't know [05:22] indistylo: open the main menu of skype, select "options", then go to "sound devices" [05:22] yea, but, peddy the instructions tell me that xin can mess up my puter [05:22] Lostinspace_46: There may be other ways, but I don't actuall know. [05:22] indistylo: you might need to change the sound settings [05:22] that1guythatnnee, ok then you are going to use the entire hard driver correct? [05:22] yes [05:22] midol all I got with dmesg was boot info === dahlia_ is now known as dahlia [05:23] that1guythatnnee, are you using the live cd? [05:23] nb72: Okay. You have good chances to restore your data if they weren't completely overwritten. [05:23] yes [05:23] rvn: when you got intermittent sound, was it always with the same program and settings? [05:23] rvn: Much appreciated!!! Thank you so much! :) [05:23] midol Maybe I did something wrong [05:23] that1guythatnnee, ok when it gets to the partition manager it cannot find the hard drive? [05:23] thanks for the help peddy, have a good night [05:23] nb72: First, you should make an image, and do the restore with this image instead of the reald rive. [05:23] nope [05:23] mm [05:23] crunchbang: nps man, i had the same question when i started out with linux, and u'd be surprised how hard it is to get that answer [05:23] mido1: ddrescue? [05:23] coz_, do you know how to edit transparancy on taskbar? [05:23] midol I am not afraid to say..I am in over my head here [05:23] nb72: Do you have any command line experience? [05:23] that1guythatnnee, did you check to see if the hard drive is plugged in? [05:23] it is [05:24] that1guythatnnee, that ;s not meant to sound stupid :) [05:24] mido1: ya [05:24] xD [05:24] nb72: Normal dd should be sufficient, due there seem to be no hardware errors. [05:24] lstarnes, i got a video to play sound thru headphones, closed the box, opened another box with a video, and it made no sound [05:24] that1guythatnnee, have you had another operating system on that hard drive already? [05:24] yes [05:24] like if you click applications the the bar with be transaparent [05:24] i tried unplugging, plugging, pausing, muting, unmuting blahblah.. [05:24] win xp [05:24] rvn: what did you use for playing the video? [05:24] that1guythatnnee, mm when you boot with the live cd did you run check disk or check cd for errors? [05:25] mataks, hold on guy [05:25] yes [05:25] nb72: What do you think has happened to the drive? Only partition table overwritte? Formatted in a different camera? Or what else? [05:25] mido1. OK. so I can dd from /dev/sdb to some file? and then what would I use to recover from there? [05:25] that1guythatnnee, and the cd checked out? [05:25] and i have tried it on another computer and it find the hardrive just fine [05:25] idk [05:25] that1guythatnnee, mmm [05:25] it loaded somehting [05:25] then it went away [05:25] nb72: Yes, first of all do a backup: dd if=/dev/sdb of=/where/to/store/the/backup.img [05:25] mido1. I think my USB reader damaged the partition table. It's really flakey, but never damaged anything till now. Now it's in the trash. :) [05:26] that1guythatnnee, what you might want to do is to low format that drive with either seagate utility or dban and try again [05:26] i dont know what that means [05:26] ok [05:26] that1guythatnnee, however writing zeros to a drive might take a long time depending on the size of the drive [05:26] that1guythatnnee, ok hold on [05:26] nb72: You could give gpart a try. This restores partition tables, but has to work on the real drive, not on the image file. Due you have a backup (in a few minutes) I think you can risk this. [05:27] the drive is 350 gb [05:27] that1guythatnnee, ok go here and download dban http://www.dban.org/ [05:27] nb72: gpart != gparted [05:27] that1guythatnnee, ok that drive may take nearly 8 hours to low format [05:27] lstarnes, [05:27] that1guythatnnee, what rpm is the drive do you know? [05:27] no [05:28] but there is way to check? [05:28] rvn: ? [05:28] progress? ideas? [05:28] that1guythatnnee, well it should be on the drive itself or the serial number an manufacturer and look it up [05:28] nb72: In case gpart could not restore your partition table, you could use photorec for recovery,. or foremost. [05:28] rvn: what were you using to play the video that had sound? [05:28] vlc [05:28] that1guythatnnee, it may be a bad drive or a drive with bad sectors [05:28] u [05:28] hmm [05:28] nb72: Both detect jpeg files and recover them from any block device or image file, regardless of the filesystem. [05:29] Can anyone help me install Songbird? [05:29] that1guythatnnee, if either of those are the case then well at least the bad sectors may be able to be overwritten or fixed with low format [05:29] nb72: You don't perhaps understand German? [05:29] mido1: I've used photorec before (friend deleted all from the camera). [05:29] Then give photorec a try [05:29] midol Thanks for trying. I guess I'l do it the long way. Compare keycodes and scancodes (in hex) and write a new keymap. [05:29] mido1: no german, but I have a german neighbor (not really a geek though). [05:30] Can photorec see the drive if I can't mount it? [05:30] rvn: from what I've seen, some users have been having similar issues with that card in earlier versions of ubuntu [05:30] i have had ZERO issues from ubuntu 6, 7, 8... [05:30] rvn: including 8.04? [05:30] yes [05:30] and 8.10 [05:31] rvn: did the issues start immediately after upgrading to 9.04? [05:31] now all of the sudden, poof, no working [05:31] i didnt upgrade [05:31] i had no linux for a while [05:31] i just installed 9.04 clean [05:31] as a dualboot [05:31] with win7 [05:31] rvn: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:31] rvn: was sound not working at all since it was installed? [05:31] correct [05:31] no boot-up ubuntu sound [05:31] nothin [05:32] not on the live cd either [05:32] rvn: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:32] nb72: Photorec should work from any image file or block device, without knowing anything about the filesystem. [05:32] mido: finally did it let me log back off and log back in to see if it worked [05:32] mido1: brb [05:32] mido1: Sweet thanks for all the info. I guess I'll get cracking. [05:33] nb72: So "photorec /dev/sdb" should work. [05:33] rvn, could you please repeat your issue again? [05:33] i have an intel ich8 sound card in my laptop [05:33] it makes no sound [05:33] for a few seconds i got a video to make sound through headphones only [05:33] How do I install an application if I get a folder with contents in it? [05:33] rvn: what model laptop? [05:33] hello friends, what's a straight forward way to enable multiple monitor space in hardy? [05:33] but other than that there has been nothing [05:33] rvn, I have ich8 too. [05:33] nb72: Good luck. [05:33] p6831-fx gateway, lstarnes [05:34] mido1: it depends on the contents [05:34] Hi I have a question, If I installed linux with wubi but wanna extend linux to my whole hd how would I go about doing that [05:34] mido1: oops. [05:34] m0r0n: it depends on the contents [05:34] lstarnes: np. [05:34] rvn, open 'pavucontrol' and go to the Output tab, is the volume turned down, or muted? [05:34] coasterfanbase, boot from live cd and extend partition, deleting all other non-linux [05:34] but i dint use a live cd [05:34] mido1: it didn't work [05:34] as said i used wubi [05:34] coasterfanbase: basically you can't, wubi is a virtual disk [05:35] acdspit00: Hmpf. [05:35] * rvn installs pavucontrol [05:35] mido1: want to check out my xorg.conf to make sure its right [05:35] so i couldnt extend how big it is [05:35] i used alsamixer and the volume manager to check those before [05:35] and they were not [05:35] plus it made sound thru the headphone earlier [05:35] Yes, paste it to paste.ubuntu.com [05:35] not muted [05:35] 100% sound [05:35] lstarnes: I need to install it, and it's giving me like everything to install it, just I don't know how [05:35] huhu, i cant find the skype packages , how are they named ? [05:36] acdspit00: Yes, paste it to paste.ubuntu.com [05:36] m0r0n: what are the contents exactly? [05:36] jw then what would happen if i passed up the 30 GB I set up with wubi when I installed [05:36] will it say filled disk or start extending how big the virtual disk is [05:36] lstarnes: Perhaps the end of the "container" filename will help....

[05:39] it also installs on hard drives [05:39] rvn, it just grabs the latest one (the title is misleading), which is 1.0.20. [05:39] thiebaude: but would I loose what ive set up on the virtual drive already? [05:39] rvn, click on the link to that thread, it takes you to a new, updated one. [05:40] Anyone running on an Intel GMA950 chipset here? Take my advice and install Karmic. It works *heaps* better on a GMA950 than Jaunty. [05:40] What kind of encryption is wr5Y04U7hRRwM [05:40] peddy: which is confusing and has 6 different things to download or so [05:40] sn00zer, I think that's a great idea... by running that service in a firewall you have created an extra layer of security and portability [05:40] peddy: i assume i want the top download? [05:40] m0r0n: have you read the "INSTALL" file? [05:40] gah i cant download them cuz i dont have a ubuntu forum account [05:40] coasterfanbase, can you back up data? [05:40] that's stupid [05:40] midol1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/233635/ [05:40] acdspit00: You must paste me the url of the code you put on paste.ubuntu.com, otherwise I can't find it.

[05:41] thiebaude: I can but it would take a long time to set up my external to back up this [05:41] oh,ok [05:41] m0r0n: paste the contents of that file to http://paste.ubuntu.com [05:41] qwyeth: Ok, but just to clarify, the host would serve as my WAN gateway firewall as well, with any vm's LAN facing only.

[05:41] DVA5912: that could be linux's crypt() or maybe DES [05:41] coasterfanbase, i dont know [05:42] DVA5912: depending on what that is [05:42] thiebaude: oh ok then thanks for the help [05:42] DVA5912: it might be a completely different algorithm [05:42] coasterfanbase, np [05:42] goodbye friends [05:42] im thinking its a php cookie [05:42] m0r0n: that's relatively simple [05:42] acdspit00: Sorry, I'm a bit helpless at the moment. [05:42] m0r0n: open a terminal [05:42] having problem with abiword after a recent upgrade, it bombs out whenever print or print preview is clicked. anyone knows what is happening? [05:42] lstarnes: Ok [05:42] m0r0n: type "cd ~/Desktop/listen-0.6.2" (without "'s) [05:43] sn00zer: As long as that machine can handle the combined load of the VM and your WAN traffic, it seems like a good idea... Also consider that if you later find a reason to not want the machine hosted on that box, it's very easy to move a vm to another host [05:43] m0r0n: then type this: "export PREFIX=/usr/local; make clean; make; sudo make install" [05:44] cd (The command) is changing the directory your looking at in Terminal right?

[05:44] m0r0n: yes [05:44] richardcavell: I have Intel 945GSE chipset it wouldn't help me would it? [05:44] m0r0n: when it asks for a password, type in your password. Nothing will show but the password will still get through [05:44] acdspit00: yes it would [05:44] oh wait [05:44] I'm referring to graphics chipset not CPU chipset [05:44] install: cannot stat `src/*.pyc': No such file or directory make: *** [install] Error 1 [05:45] midol1: its cool, does it matter if that file hash lines at the bottom that are empty? [05:45] ok im running the script Peddy [05:45] midol1: maybe if I do a restart it will help [05:45] qwyeth: What are recommended specs for such a setup? I have a P3 and P4 available, but its going in a closet with crappy airflow, so I was leaning towards the P3 and maxing out the ram in it. [05:45] acdspit00: yes, it would help you enormously [05:45] having problem with abiword after a recent upgrade, it bombs out whenever print or print preview is clicked. anyone knows what is happening? [05:45] acdspit00: I suggest downloading Karmic and running it as a live CD. You should see the difference [05:45] m0r0n: I'm not sure how to fix that error [05:45] sn00zer, p3 is more stable arch, p3 is the basis for core systems, where p4 arch was dumped ironically [05:45] acdspit00: No, some more comments doesn't matter. [05:46] m0r0n: make sure that you have met all the requirements for that program [05:46] rvn, that's good. it may take a while, it downloads the source of everything ALSA-related and compiles it. [05:46] rvn: hmm, thats interesting. [05:46] midol1: well their not # their just blanks [05:46] sn00zer, yeah [05:46] 12:39:27 to unix is what [05:46] midol1: ill try restarting and see what that does later [05:46] acdspit00: Blanks or spaces doesn't matter either. [05:47] sn00zer: I can't make that kind of a recommendation because I don't know what kind of load you have on your WAN or on your fileserver. P3 sounds like a good place to start, though, and you can refactor if you end up with performance issues. [05:47] richardcavell: i have a Samsung NC10 I am surprised how smooth this is [05:47] acdspit00: You running Jaunty? [05:48] acdspit00: I'm on a 2nd-gen MacBook. Jaunty had poor video support, but Karmic is much much better [05:48] sn00zer, also depends on the clock speeds a bit, if u have a 500mhz p3 and a 3ghz p4, the p4 will do much better overall, heatwise the p3 will be better regardless of clocks, and if the clocks are close (1.4ghz p3 vs 1.4ghz p4 or similar) go with the p3 for stability and heat [05:49] richardcavell: Jaunty 9.04 [05:49] I have a headless server. Is it possible to open X apps remotely through ssh? How? [05:49] acdspit00: If it ain't broke for you then don't fix it. But Jaunty's video support was awful for me. [05:49] sn00zer, anything 300mhz or better is fine for fileserving as long as its not being used as a desktop as well, and its just for one or two people to access [05:49] sn00zer, u may wanna direct further questions to #hardware [05:50] rvn: I think its a 900 mhz p3 and a ~2ish ghz p4. Heat was my main concern which pushed me towards the p3. [05:50] DVA5912: unix time expresses a full date+time as seconds since midnight on 1 Jan. 1970 [05:50] how do I change my login shell to zsh ? [05:50] sn00zer, i'd go with the p3, early p4 is inefficient as heck, late p3 (900mhz+) is very efficient [05:51] SandGorgon: chsh -s $(which zsh) $USER [05:51] i hav a 1ghz p3 in my basement [05:51] lstarnes, thanks [05:51] richardcavell: where do download?

[06:02] I need help getting an fstab entry for sshfs to work. I don't know if there's a channel for it or not. I already autogen'd an SSH public/private key. The public key is on the server for the user I want it to be, but for some reason, I can't figure out how to get it to mount using fstab. I thought all the info's correct. I dunno how to specify in fstab that I wanna use SSH public/private key [06:02] what version of Pulseaudio do you have? [06:03] no idea [06:03] how do i check [06:03] (i hate pulseaudio btw, it sucks balls) [06:03] (causes problems, never fixes any) [06:03] rvn, apt-cache policy pulseaudio [06:03] 0.9.14 [06:03] 1:0.9..14-0ubuntu20.2 === Guest46750 is now known as sisto_ [06:03] to be more specific [06:03] yepo [06:03] yep* [06:04] Dayofswords: Any idea? === sisto_ is now known as sisto [06:04] rvn, could you give me the full lspci line for your audio? [06:04] none what so ever, [06:05] 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) [06:05] alsamixer says its a IDT 92HD71B8X [06:05] ok, you may need to blacklist some things that need blacklisting: [06:05] !HDA [06:06] erm [06:06] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [06:06] :P === Crazyguy_ is now known as Crazyguy [06:06] please stop linking me to that page and tell me what on it to do [06:06] :/ [06:06] rvn, sorry, I can't remember :P [06:06] rvn, I just remembered :O [06:07] haha sorry [06:07] ok [06:07] Go to the 'update to latest version of alsa' section [06:07] but didnt i just do that [06:07] :o [06:07] and remove the alsa that you just installed [06:07] O.O [06:07] no [06:07] no way [06:08] I'm certain that this is the way I did it (I still have the files in /usr/src/) but I remember trying the script, as well. [06:08] . [06:08] i dont like it [06:08] :/ [06:08] hi all, i'm using hda-intel, and having a strange problem. I cannot hear anything from my headphones except the pc beep. everything in alsamixer is 100% and the speakers are working fine.. any ideas? [06:08] I'm sorry for being so vague, but I'm sure this time. [06:08] how do i remove the version i installed... [06:08] :/ [06:09] rvn, run the script again, see if it has any remove options. [06:09] rvn, proof: look at the dates too: http://pastebin.com/m11e60032 [06:09] i got a thing [06:09] it's fixing it.. [06:09] :/ [06:10] no idea wtf that proves [06:10] :P [06:10] That's when I was running the Jaunty alpha. I had to recompile every time an alsa update was released upstream, which was like every day. [06:10] it's just a listing of the files (could have been easily faked), but it isn't. [06:11] doing a reboot [06:11] ill b bak... [06:11] :/ [06:11] OK [06:11] er wait [06:11] mkai :/ [06:12] hey digital are you still there? [06:12] yes [06:13] I've been looking through the forums and found a thread specifically talking about hda intel and no headphone sound [06:13] it's from 2005, but it's worth a shot, if you haven't found that yourself [06:13] ok the old version i installed is gone [06:13] and the version from repos is back [06:13] now ill follow that page's direcctions [06:13] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76307 [06:13] cd Relysis [06:13] ls [06:14] err [06:14] .. [06:14] Peddy, [06:14] Relysis: thanks, i'll give thsi a try [06:14] the damn section of the thing [06:14] it tells me to goto the damn script [06:14] and run it [06:14] god fuck damn [06:14] rvn: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:14] I hope it helps, sometimes even the old threads have tricks that still work [06:15] I'd like to search the web site http://ubuntuforums.org, for example for the search term 'Ekiga'. There is an Edit field 'Search' in it. Why do I have to answer a question such as "How many ears does the average human have?" before the search starts? [06:15] а русские здесь есть? [06:15] rvn, you're on the wrong section. [06:15] rvn, just scroll down a bit, it tells you how to do it manually. [06:15] Peddy, u said goto "upgrade to the latest version of alsa" [06:16] and then right below that [06:16] rvn, about 3/4 down the page [06:16] it says "the instructions here are outdated" [06:16] yes [06:16] i am right there dude [06:16] :/ [06:16] rvn: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:16] rvn, it worked completely fine for me. [06:16] ru! | user3976mln [06:16] In case you're wondering, the reason why it works is because of this: ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel [06:16] !ru [06:17] bullgard4, I think ubottu left because of the netsplit [06:17] I see. sri [06:17] Peddy, there was a script that said "hda intel " or something [06:17] at that link [06:17] Unfortunately, that thread isn't of much help, since i had to compile the driver in order to make the sound work at all, so i've already done that. It's probably worth mentioning that the headphone audio DID work at the time when i got the laptop speakers to work, but after reboot it no longer makes a sound [06:18] and i asked u " which one do i download " [06:18] "the first one i assume?" [06:18] :/ [06:18] Digital, I found another possible fix that looks a lot simpler if you're not busy reading [06:18] try editing /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base and add this option at the end: [06:18] options snd-hda-intel model=z71v position_fix=1 [06:19] relysis: i've already manually set the model option for my card in order to get the speakers to work =\ [06:20] mataks, sorry guy [06:20] mataks, did you get that solved? [06:21] bah, now I'm just reading through threads about this.. wish I had more expertise with sound drivers [06:22] it seems to me that my driver should be OK, since the pc beep comes over the headphones am i right? [06:23] rvn, are you compiling the latest? [06:23] makes sense to me [06:23] did you upgrade your kernel or anything before the restart? [06:24] Peddy, ... it errored [06:24] sudo make on the alsa-driver.. errored [06:24] following directions to the letter [06:24] latest alsa [06:24] relysis: i dont think so, but i suppose i could try to recompile again with my current kernel just in case [06:24] :/ [06:24] i hate this [06:24] rvn: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[06:26] yyeah [06:26] my mistake [06:26] vishal: Analyze first the dmesg. [06:26] :P [06:27] coz_, here http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/BlueSpace+II?content=78633 [06:27] mataks, ok did you install that yet? [06:27] coz_, i don't know how to isntall. when i drag it to appearance it says failed to install [06:27] mataks, ok hold on [06:28] do it manually [06:28] extract the file [06:28] then copy the resulting directory [06:28] to ~/.Themes/ [06:28] rvn: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:28] matak [06:28] mataks [06:28] I'd like to search the web site http://ubuntuforums.org, for example for the search term 'Ekiga'. There is an Edit field 'Search' in it. Why do I have to answer a question such as "How many ears does the average human have?" before the search starts? [06:28] mataks, ok is that pacakage on the desktop? [06:28] rvn, yes? [06:28] bullgard4: I am new to linux I am not sure how to analyze it. I have put the output in a paste bin : http://pastebin.ca/1507563 [06:28] see the text above ur name that i wrote [06:29] coz_, what you mean? [06:29] mataks, right click the pacakage and click "extract here" [06:29] coz_, i already extracted the file and i have gtk folder sumthing n other 2 [06:29] @google gnome colors | mataks [06:29] mataks, ok right click that folder and "create archive" [06:29] mataks, u need to do it with the console [06:29] mmmm where is the bot ¿¿ [06:29] mataks, make sure it is set to tar.gz [06:29] bullgard4: So the forum knows that you are a genuine human. The forum does not want bots to search its forums. [06:29] coz_, i ont think that ur plan will work [06:29] coz_, what folder will i click? [06:30] rvn, yep it will just did it [06:30] bullgard4: you need to type answers to questions while searching is to avoid automated bots from overloading the system [06:30] orly [06:30] haxy [06:30] mataks, when you extracted that pacakge you got a BLueSpace_II folder correct? [06:30] eboyjr: why would a bot want to search the forum? [06:30] coz_, k done.. i make zip it to tar.gz [06:30] wait [06:30] eboyjr: What's wrong if bots are searching this website? [06:30] i want to install the audio systems from ubuntu 8.10 [06:31] can i do that [06:31] or should i just wipe my linux and say FU to 9.04 for not working with my sound card [06:31] mataks, if the folder is BlueSpace_II then yes right click it and make sure it is pacakges as a tar.gz [06:31] mataks, then drag that onto the appearance window [06:31] i have another interesting problem. it seems that when i boot my machine cold, that is, turn it on from powered-off state, my touchpad/keyboard work fine, but not after a reboot. has anyone heard of this? [06:31] coz_, still it failed. i drag it already [06:31] rvn: might as well downgrade to 8.04.3 LTS... [06:31] mataks, hold on [06:31] losher, i like 8.10 :/ [06:31] losher, it works for me [06:32] does anybody know a good network monitor which counts ALL traffic ( daily/weekly transfer reports ) ? [06:32] !info mypaint [06:32] mataks, download this http://files.getdropbox.com/u/132551/BlueSpace_II.tar.gz [06:32] rvn: that's fine. It's just not supported as long... [06:32] ok [06:32] vishal: This kind of overload can be easily stopped using other bots. This is a weak argument, and I do not believe it. [06:32] i am using a laptop and in ubuntu jaunty my touch pad does not work but in opensolaris it works fine I want to use ubuntu jaunty as my primary os but I don't know how to configure and get it settings done. Can anyone please advice me [06:32] mataks, drag that pacakge on to the appearance window then click the "Customize" button [06:33] losher, well since the currently supported versions' support is blatantly failing to resolve my issue, does it matter? [06:33] bullgard4: I am new to linux I am not sure how to analyze it. I have put the output in a paste bin : http://pastebin.ca/1507563 [06:33] coz_, still failed.. it says can't move directory over directory [06:33] rvn: it doesn't matter to me. I tried 9.04 and got tired of it's little failures, and went back to 8.04 [06:33] losher: bullgard4: A possible reason would be that the search functions take more resources to complete, and if bots are doing it, it will slow it down for the rest of us. Another reason is they do not want bots or other programs or Google to search it, and that they only want the search results accessible through that forum directly. [06:34] bullgard4: That is the only thing I can think of why they will put that feature in [06:34] mataks, ok go into the home directory under .themes [06:34] vishal: You did not put the output of dmesg in your paste bin. There is something else in it. [06:34] ok [06:34] mataks, delete the theme there first [06:34] mataks, then drag that pacakge onto the window [06:34] problem tho is im out of cds === coz_ is now known as coz [06:34] i used my last one to burn 9.04 :( === coz is now known as coz_ [06:34] mataks: the best theme is gnome colors - http://code.google.com/p/gnome-colors/ :D [06:34] rvn: unetbootin claims to let you do a CD-less boot from an iso [06:35] i used that to boot from a flash drive [06:35] yeah [06:35] coz_, ey man how to go to .themes folder.. i forgot hehe [06:35] i cud go that route [06:35] mataks, type it in the bar [06:35] mataks, hit ctrl+h [06:35] bullgard4: that is wht I got when i typed in dmesg [06:36] mataks, that shows hidden folders [06:37] k wait [06:37] is coz here? [06:37] nvm [06:37] coz_, yehey.. i installed it now.. what's next? [06:38] Is there any way to check what you recently installed form the terminal and uninstall it? Some of the stuff I installed is causing problems, but im not sure what (I have a pretty good idea though) [06:38] eboyjr: You say that a bot may slow down the human's search. But the requirement to answer a question at the beginning is doing just the same. So nothing is gained, quite the contrary. [06:38] mataks, hit the "Customize" button [06:38] i am using a laptop and in ubuntu jaunty my touch pad does not work but in opensolaris it works fine I want to use ubuntu jaunty as my primary os but I don't know how to configure and get it settings done. Can anyone please advice me [06:38] Cyber_Akuma: synaptic>file>history [06:38] eboyjr: I suppose load is an issue, though I fail to see the advantage of not being indexed in google, or of being confined to the forum, unless one was planning to charge for it... [06:38] mataks, under the Controls tab find the theme [06:38] coz_, the theme change but with no transparancy [06:39] hi [06:39] mataks, right hoold on [06:39] bullgard4: losher: Maybe that isn't the best reason, but if bots are searching the forums, then more requests are made [06:39] Cyber_Akuma: synaptic>file>history <--- err, the things it "messed up" are my GUI, im stuck in a text prompt [06:39] i want to know how to enable the root login [06:39] mataks, now open ccsm [06:39] sameer: Why do you want to do that? [06:39] coz_, ok it's open now [06:39] i coulnt able to open some appplications [06:40] and i want to update the packages [06:40] mataks, ok hold on one minute :) [06:40] sameer: You want to use sudo, thats how Ubuntu grands admin privledges [06:40] vishal: I read in the headline: "dmest on opensolaris". But I advised to analyze dmesg in Ubuntu. This are two differences. Please correct that. [06:40] sameer: http://manishtech.wordpress.com/2007/07/21/enabling-root-login-in-ubuntu/ [06:40] sameer: what apps¿¿ synaptic¿¿ do you have permissions¿¿ [06:40] vishal: Please don't do that.

[06:41] sameer: instead of [command] you do: sudo [command] [06:41] sameer: or gksudo if its a graphical program [06:41] when i click synaptic its takes time then nothing happens [06:41] Flannel: Pls adivce wht did I do wrong ? [06:41] woodgrain2701: do you installed flash from the package manager¿¿ [06:41] mataks, ok under the Accessibility category click on the Opacity brightness and saturation plugin [06:41] vishal: There's absolutely no reason to enable the root account, so there's no reason to tell him how. [06:41] coz_, k wait [06:41] Flannel: I see [06:41] sorry [06:41] yes [06:42] coz_, and then [06:42] I used to agree with the 'not root password' policy, *until* I tried to do a single-user boot & it asked for the root password...

[06:47] mataks, no problem ok are you still in ccsm [06:48] I have a python shell shortcut set to "Shift+F3" using the command, "/usr/local/bin/python3.1"; how do I make this open in gnome-terminal? [06:48] Is there a way to remote desktop so I can see other network's computers? (If they're willing of course) [06:48] So, I have just purchased the brand new spiffy Alienware M17x w/ dual Nvidia 260GTX in SLI. Ubuntu has a heck of a time, read: cant, use the cards. Any suggestions? Using 180.44 nvidia drivers [06:48] woodgrain2701: how do you installed it¿¿ from terminal¿¿ from add/quit ¿¿ from synaptic¿¿ [06:48] synaptic [06:48] mataks, uncheck the opcaity plugin then highlight that string I gave you and hit the edit button [06:49] coz_, ok [06:49] woodgrain2701: go to add/quit and install 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' if you use gnome desktop [06:49] Sephr: gnome-terminal -e commandgoeshere [06:49] mataks, when the dialog opens move the slider up to nearly 80 [06:49] coz_, there it goes back.. i think too much opacity is set to make it invisible [06:49] nomad77: thanks [06:49] What the best Media Center software for Ubuntu (or linux in general)??? Any suggestions on what to go with? [06:49] elisa¿¿ [06:49] WCCobra: There's always XBMC (Xbox Media Center) [06:49] mmmm has changed the name [06:50] WCCobra, Checkout mythtv [06:50] WCCobra, XBMC is one [06:50] WCCobra, look at MythTV or Moovida [06:50] Is there a way to remote desktop so I can see other network's computers? A simple yes or no will do. [06:50] coz_, yehey.. thnx you soo much.. it's working now :) [06:50] mataks, cool :) [06:51] mataks: try gnome colors - http://code.google.com/p/gnome-colors/ [06:51] mataks, it takes a while to get used to the hundreds of settings in compiz [06:51] ProfOak: yes, check out vnc [06:51] I'm having an issue with SLI and Ubuntu not recognizing the display adapters. When attempting to use the SLI display the screen goes black and the system is unresponsive after gdm is started [06:51] Alright, I got 2 for XBMC and 2 for MythTV... at least that narrows it down Thanks [06:51] coz_, thank you so much.. :) [06:52] mataks, no problem guy enjoy :) [06:52] WCCobra: mythtv is very full-featured. I've never tried xbmc... [06:52] Is ther eany way to rollback what I just installed? [06:52] ProfOak, Other networks? As in you're on 10.0.0.0/8 and you want to check out all the computers on 172.16.0,0/16? [06:52] i couldn't find ubuntu-restricted-extras [06:52] rvn, I'm sorry I couldn't be much help (I don't know a lot about compile errors). Maybe try asking here when there isn't a netsplit. Just remember, that compiling ALSA with that flag should get your audio working, as it did for me. [06:53] Temlar_Xion: Yeah, my friend needs some tech help, and it's too late to help them IRL at the moment. [06:53] MythTV looks nice, I'm just afraid it's not as smooth to work with [06:53] g'day does anyone know an easy way to expand and remove partitions [06:53] Gparted? [06:53] ProfOak, Logmein.com is easiest, averts firewalls and stuff, needs windows or mac on the target system [06:53] WCCobra, mythtv is a PITA in my opinion [06:53] Its what I use under ubuntu to manage my partitions [06:53] Cyber_Akuma: it depends what you installed. If it's a single package or packages, you can remove them. If it was a general upgrade, no [06:53] woodgrain2701: Have you run sudo apt-get update ? [06:53] WCCobra, XBMC or moodiva [06:53] Temlar_Xion: Oh thanks. I'll give it a try [06:53] It was manually installing several packages [06:53] not really updates [06:53] ProfOak, anytime [06:53] thankyou Cyber_Akuma [06:54] well, more like dozens... [06:54] np Whitegasm [06:54] But they were all manual and optional [06:54] Can any of you help me with the install of ubuntu it doesnt recognize my drive [06:54] Temlar_Xion: Not to bother, but is there some sort of free alternative? [06:54] Cyber_Akuma: then you can remove or downgrade them (almost) as easily as you installed them. How did you install them? [06:54] that1guythatneed, do you know what kind of drive you have? [06:54] ProfOak, it is free [06:54] im looking for a cheap webhosting by the year not monthy does any know one know of good site [06:54] what do u mean [06:55] "How did you install them?" using "add/remove programs" [06:55] maxtor is the manufactureer [06:55] i just ran it [06:55] ProfOak, Just have your friend install it himself setup a free account, you'll both need to know the user/password and just do the 'free' one [06:55] RaNa: read the topic [06:55] But im stuck in a termina now [06:55] I assume its the ATI drivers I installed, though I installed a lot of software so I can't be sure [06:55] that1guythatneed, SATA, IDE, etc? [06:55] Most of it was applications and games though, so I can't think of anything other than the drivers causing this [06:55] woodgrain2701: Are all the repositories active in Synaptic? [06:55] sata [06:55] Anyone have experience w/ nvidia and SLI on ubuntu? [06:56] Cyber_Akuma: presumably the drivers. So try using add/remove to remove them again? [06:56] As I said, my gui no longer works [06:56] if I try, it just shows corrupted images onscreen [06:56] that1guythatneed, isn't Ubuntu recognizing the disk? [06:56] It is SATA [06:56] Cyber_Akuma: sorry, forgot. sudo apt-get remove [06:56] And I used the gui to install them [06:56] no [06:56] its not [06:57] I can't find it, im looking through dpkg.log right now [06:57] nothing about ATI in there for some reason [06:57] that1guythatneed, could you go into the BIOS and check what storage mode the disk configured for? It will be something like IDE or AHCI. [06:57] Cyber_Akuma: What are you trying to do? [06:57] well [06:57] it is IDE [06:57] rollback everything I installed just now [06:57] i dont know, how can i tell? [06:57] i switched it to AHCI [06:57] The weird thing is though [06:57] earlier and it didnt help [06:57] AFTER everything as installed, it was still working fine [06:57] then I tried one of the games I installed [06:57] I'd like to search the web site http://ubuntuforums.org, for example for the search term 'Ekiga'. There is an Edit field 'Search' in it. Why do I have to answer a question such as "How many ears does the average human have?" before the search starts? [06:58] it started glitching up then crashed ubuntu, after that the GUI no longer worked when I rebooted [06:58] please help me add monitors to my system [06:58] cooper77z, google.com [06:58] temlar_xion, google doesn't work [06:58] Cyber_Akuma: sorry, you're way out of my depth at this point... [06:58] bullgard4, it's to identify if you're a computer or human. Called a CAPTCHA. [06:58] k [06:59] google is broken [06:59] bullgard4: to prove you're not a bot [06:59] cooper77z: With your gpu, you probably might be fortunate to get clone mode working [06:59] cooper77z: Plug them in. -- Report the exact error messages which you obtain when trying to use them. And tell about the exact situation you are in. [07:00] no error msg, bullgard4, both work perfect as twins [07:00] Cyber_Akuma: Can you pastebin the X log from the failed session? (in /var/log it should be Xorg.0.log or so) [07:00] i need help with something that can tell my net speed? [07:00] Peddy: What is the use of this 'Capcha'? It is a nuisance. [07:00] kelli: there are web pages that do that. Search for e.g. speakeasy speed test [07:00] bullgard4: www.captcha.com [07:00] hi, is there a way to reset the sound settings ? [07:00] * credobyte will try to find a cup of coffee. Away! [07:00] bullgard4: sorry dont click that [07:00] nomad77: Why do I have to prove that? This is a nuisance. === dani is now known as Guest78324 [07:01] bullgard4: www.captcha.net and read below [07:01] let me see [07:01] bullgard4: They're things site operators implement to run people off [07:01] losher, what can i use toy show on desk top net usage [07:01] yeah, I have it here, ill pastebin it [07:01] Peddy, your logic was flawed and time-wasting, unfortunately, as the alsa update script already had that line... [07:01] I am really asking for help here [07:01] ... [07:01] its empty === fisha17 is now known as cwo_mw^ehm [07:02] i originally had vista, then i installed ubuntu, finally i added XP. but whenever i want to boot vista, it boots xp. also in grub xp is displayed as windows vista. i need to access vista, how do i fix this problemo? [07:02] Xorg.0.log and Xorg.failsafe.log are empty [07:02] cooper77z: It is possible that your video hardware is only capable of clone mode [07:02] cooper77z: What happens when you try to access Google? [07:02] cooper77z: nevermind.. I misread [07:02] Guest73007, that's because u put xp before vista - boot into xp, and install vista boot manager, and change the bootloader to vista's [07:02] Cyber_Akuma: What about Xorg.0.log.old or Xorg.1.log? [07:03] Guest73007, er, not boot manager, vistabootpro [07:03] /var/log right? [07:03] bullgard4: if you join as a member, I think you no longer need to do the captcha... [07:03] vista was already on, xp was added after. [07:03] rvn, I'm no expert at all, I just know that compiling it myself fixed it for me, and doing the automatic script didn't. I assumed that I as I had the exact same sound chipset as you, it'd work, but clearly you can't compile it. I still maintain that compiling the latest ALSA with those flags is the way to go, but if you want to give up and go back to 8.10, that's your choice. [07:03] ! who | Cyber_Akuma [07:03] theres only those two [07:04] can anyone tell me of something that can record net usage? [07:04] Question: is there a way to change file copy to an external USB drive such that I can unplug it without unmounting? [07:05] kelli: how do you mean? Like bandwidth? [07:05] I'm having trouble installing a font [07:05] kelli: just network traffic? or port 80 only? [07:06] how much i'm using [07:06] ow [07:07] shit :) [07:07] netsplit much? [07:07] how do I start a .pdf file from a shell and have the system know what the default file opener is [07:07] kelli: how much internets you're using? =) I seem to remember seeing somehting like that in lifehacker. let me check [07:07] A quick newbie question. If I want to back up my current setup before doing an upgrade, I only need to backup the root partition, yes? [07:07] ¿¿¿ [07:07] CodeWar: xdg-open /path/to/file, I think. [07:08] current partitions are: boot, root, usr, var, and home [07:08] is there a way to send a message pop up from ubuntu over lan to windows xp [07:09] please help me use multiple display moniters as deskspace in hardy. [07:09] corigo2: you need to backup your users /home for personal settings ,just the hidden files at the minimum [07:09] corigo2: basically you want to backup everything except home, to be sure of being able to get back to your current state. 5 partitions seems like overkill. I usually just keep root & home... [07:09] anybody else have any ideas? [07:09] * xangua is falling asleep [07:10] this is not a difficult question [07:10] i think all my repositories are active [07:10] rww, yes xdg-open and gnome-open both work from xterm doesnt work from emacs eshell but i ll figure that out .. thanks [07:10] cooper77z: Your difficulty is in your graphics hardware, not the question [07:11] I think you are mistaken soreau [07:11] it's digital soreau [07:11] cooper77z: if it's such a simple question, why do you need help with it?

[08:12] Hello [08:12] <`boz> wine doesn't work for this app roncotoke [08:12] I am having trouble installing Hamachi [08:13] It is possible. you need to resize your partitions, install windows to it, then use the live cd to fix grub. [08:13] I downloaded it and its just a bunch of files in a folder, I don't know what to do [08:13] anyone know of an apt for checking net usage? [08:13] Xodiac13: Okay how did you install skulltag in the first place? [08:13] hey, has anyone successfully compiled ffmpeg for jaunty?

[08:15] Xodiac13: What is your version of Ubuntu?

[11:21] sergeykish_: that's one more reason to look at hardware.... if the power suddenly cuts out it's usually a hardware problem, and no logging daemon has time to write soething into the logs [11:21] icarus: a flood is when someone sends a lot of text, often nonsense, to a channel on irc. It's annoying and disruptive [11:21] rww: is this a form of spaming ? [11:22] icarus: it's sometimes called spamming, but real spamming involves ads [11:22] * v0d0i chao moi nguoi [11:22] * v0d0i hehe [11:22] sergeykish_: you could try the array.org-kernel and check if it changes something... but this looks very much like hardware trouble to me... bad ram, or a crack in the mobo [11:22] ???

[11:34] fdisk -l sees sda1,2,5 with sda2 being Linux 83 [11:34] Lynx-O: you had the command mistyped before...is it in a script? are you still mistyping it? [11:34] what was mistyped? [11:34] stillwontwork: if you delete your xorg.conf, your xserver should generate a generic one for you [11:34] Lynx-O: the command [11:34] sudo ffmepg -i koh.m4a -vcodec wmv2 -sameq -acodec wmav2 -r 29.5 -f wmv2 Kingdom.wmv [11:34] where?

[11:35] w00t [11:35] !ask steven_ [11:35] stillwontwork: but i generally don't like deleting stuff.. so you can try editting it and under the "Device" section, replace whatever driver is listed with "vesa" [11:35] I have ubuntu nbr installed. I switched normal ubuntu desktop and set it up as I wanted it. Then I did a reboot and all I got was a empty dekstop. No panels where loaded. I finally managed to start netbook-launcher and from there I could switch to desktop mode again, just to find that all my settings where gone. IF I want desktop mode 24/7, what should I do? [11:36] To me it seams like I need to change some of the startup applications or such. [11:36] seems [11:38] th0r: it has wmv2 under the formats but says its unknown [11:38] hello. I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and have problem with sound. when I lover the volume to about halfway there is no sound. how can this happen? [11:38] lover=lower [11:38] :) [11:38] I have a old ViewSonic V35 Pocket PC that I got from a thrift shop that works just fine, can I put anything Linux on it? [11:39] I could really use some help. [11:39] just ask steven_ [11:39] ohh [11:39] th0r: um... i'm trying to get a video to play on my Xbox360 [11:39] ShapeShifter499: what specs has it got? Ram/CPU/HD ? [11:39] steven_: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [11:39] I have been instructed to update my Ubuntu, which I did.

I've installed Nexuiz which is 2.4.2 and out is 2.5.1 Every where I go it says that I need to update to 2.5.1 How can I update game to 2.5.1? I heard that is good to have all the packages in repos... So how can I update Nexuiz from 2.4.2 to 2.5.1 ? [11:41] th0r: fdisk -l sees all the partitions, should I try fdisk -l /dev/sda2 ? [11:41] any way. the computer still does not recognize the hardware [11:41] steven_: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [11:41] steven_: it's not always wise/possible to keep stuff on the bleeding edge versions [11:42] I have a problem with switching to normal ubuntu dekstop. I'm running the latest ubuntu nbr with all upgrades. When I try to switch everything works like expected, but upon reboot all my settings are lost and I either get back to the nbr interface or just get a blank desktop. I expect it to boot the interface I last used, and that it saves my settings. [11:42] ShapeShifter499: if it's this http://www.mobiletechreview.com/viewsonic_V35.htm, then you're out of luck for a standard distro. You'd need something custom tailored (i.e. develop your own distro ...) [11:42] bleeding edge? [11:42] steven_: "lastest version" [11:42] I was instructed to update every thing on the red arrow... [11:42] Should I not have done that? [11:42] steven_: yes, that's fine === Vobine is now known as Psychoholic [11:43] steven_: if ubuntu offers you an update, it's best to take it [11:43] Lynx-O: I see no list of supported filetypes in the docs. Not sure wmv is even supported [11:43] ic [11:43] um [11:43] stefg: yea thats it! I was just about to give you that same link, so how to I custom make a distro for a Pocket PC? [11:43] ok [11:44] moymoy thanks for the help i was afk, where do i delete the xorg.conf? i guess if it generates a generic one for me that would be like starting ubuntu for the first time and that worked just fine [11:44] Lynx-O: try changing wmv2 to wmv [11:44] anybody available to help fix my sound issue? [11:45] ok [11:45] how can you make sure the login settings etc. of on.e browser don't go over to another one? [11:45] ShapeShifter499: That was half of a joke... it's an ARM based device and probably has a lot of uncommon hardware. Forget that, you'd need a development environment and cross-compile everything... that's a job for a professional engineer, not a hobbyist [11:45] Loky: This guide helped me when i had problems with my sound http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 [11:46] same error [11:46] iceroot: yes apache2 is running. i dont get any error at all other then phpmyadmin wasnt found on this site [11:46] stefg: Everything need cross-compiling? [11:47] th0r: how would i set it up for a avi ? [11:47] ShapeShifter499: you only have about 32MB ram... [11:47] or a mpeg [11:47] stefg: even if I could get to the point of doing it how long could it take [11:47] Lynx-O: I will pastebin the script I use to convert avi to mp4....that is about all I know about it. [11:47] hi [11:47] k [11:47] stefg: what about running it off a sd card? [11:47] kk [11:47] kk [11:47] aaronvarghese_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:47] ShapeShifter499: ... probably 1 or 2 years :-) to find all the bugs and write your own drivers [11:47] What is "NAT" [11:48] ShapeShifter499: Forget it, it's an embedded device [11:48] stefg: meaning what? [11:48] drurew, do you have lamp setup? is php enabled in apache? [11:48] Am I me? [11:48] Lynx-O: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/233813/ [11:49] drurew: are you sure that the vhost or the path of the phpmyadmin folder is correct? [11:49] deany: yes the lamp stack is installed and php is enabled in the conf file [11:49] Am I online? [11:49] Maverix3_, yes of course [11:49] Torsson_, thank you. I will study it and I'll get back to you with the results [11:49] Thanks, bazhang. [11:49]  Torsson_: can you point a conf file or how should i go about doing that [11:49] I'm first time here. [11:50] Loky: Np, yeah do that :) [11:50] ShapeShifter499: it's not general purpose hardware, so you need a purpose build OS for it. YOu could use linux as a basis, but as i said, that'S the job of the manufacturer [11:50] drurew, what happens when you visit a php link on your site [11:50] drurew, does it ask to download the file or does it display the site === Maverix3_ is now known as Maverix3 [11:50] deany: download [11:50] drurew, module isnt enabled then.. [11:50] test [11:50] drurew, a2enmod [11:51] oph yeahhhh thanks deany [11:51] drurew, sudo a2enmod php5 [11:51] stefg: great! [11:51] smok [11:52] stefg: tnx anyways for help [11:52] drurew: /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default i think. There you should be able to check where your sites is located in your filesystem and then put phpmyadmin there or point a own vhost to phpmyadmin [11:52] Torsson_: im not running a vhost.... its a local test setup [11:52] Lynx-O: according to the ffmpeg website wmv1 and wmv2 should be supported [11:53] Torsson_:im running direct from /var/www/* [11:53] th0r, Lynx-O repo ffmpeg or latest compiled version? [11:54] does anyone know of a good source of info about buildign a connection load balancing router/server? [11:54] apt-get install ffmpeg [11:54] deany: the module was enabled [11:54] Ok I am installing Ekiga [11:55] .wik hard drive [11:55] But i am testing my mic and audio (i know works because i use audacity) but I'm no hearing any replay. Like the manual says I should. [11:55] icarus, not in here [11:55] drurew, and you have apache/mysql and php installed? ( I prefer to use tasksel lamp-server to save any headaches..) [11:55] hello people, is it known when the open-source ati driver will get 3D support? [11:55] open gl ? [11:55] Lynx-O: the filetypes that ffmpeg will support depends on how it was compiled. For the installed version you can see the list of supported filetypes with the command ffmpeg -formats [11:56] i did [11:56] its listed just not working [11:56] hej there, does anyone know, how i can convert .PO files to .MO files? [11:56] marlene: what are PO files ? [11:56] Lynx-O, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095 compile ffmpeg made easy peasy...if you wish to do that, that is... [11:56] source file for language packs for example? [11:57] marlene: for what application ? [11:57] gnome [11:57] i am translatung gnome [11:58] DkySven: it has it, although it's not as fast and probably not as feature-rich as the closed driver had, especially on newer cards [11:58] marlene: well, I've never played with the language packs, however #ubuntu-desktop, or maybe #gnome on gimpnet may know as thats where the developers hang out [11:58] drurew, still not working? [11:58] marlene: or someone in here may no [11:58] know [11:58] DkySven: (and on the most recent cards it may still be missing, I haven't been paying attention to those) [11:58] I installed the server version of ubuntu, Is it possible to install windows ( gui) [11:58] deany: will let you know shortly [11:58] banzhang how did you make your text red? [11:58] mankash, kde or gnome or other [11:59] mankash: you can install an X11 desktop, but if you want an X11 desktop, I suggest not using the server edition and use the desktop edition as it is setup for home user hardware [11:59] can I install it over it now [11:59] hej thank you! ill try that! [11:59] mankash, sure [11:59] icarus, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [11:59] sorry [11:59] sorry, I just had maybe a 2 minute lag spike [12:00] Hi [12:00] bazhang: but my version is server version of ubuntu [12:00] I am looking into buying me a Samsung NC10 [12:00] mankash: I strongly recommend you install the desktop version [12:00] What diff would make installing Unbuntu make? [12:00] mzz, I have a card which isn't very new, the Radeon 200M and glxinfo says I've no 3D spport [12:01] DkySven: pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log please [12:01] Is the font issue in FF3.5 (shiretoko) fixed? [12:01] * mzz groans [12:01] someone tell me what the factoid for questions like ^^^ that is [12:02] mankash: the bot is dead at the moment [12:02] kpkeerthi: my firefox-3.5 has fonts, so I guess it's fixed :P [12:02] mzz, here's my xorg.0.log: http://www.pastebin.be/20004 [12:02] ikonia: what do you mean? [12:02] mankash: sorry, that was meant for mzz [12:03] np [12:03] The new notification messages in Ubuntu 9.04. Is there a log of what messages were displayed via that? A message flashed up and went away before I had a chance to look up and read it [12:03] DkySven: looks about right. Now run "LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo" and pastebin that [12:03] ikonia: I saw, thanks === icarus is now known as nickname [12:04] cool [12:04] rage: if it was important whoever used the notification api to display it was confused [12:04] mzz, here it is: http://www.pastebin.be/20005 [12:04] rage: and I doubt there's a log, but I've been wrong before :) === oldude67 is now known as dangit [12:04] mmz: It probably wasnt very importanted, I was just curious === dangit is now known as oldude67 === nickname is now known as something [12:05] DkySven: running compiz? [12:05] yes [12:05] DkySven: try without it [12:05] but I tried also without [12:05] DkySven: repastebin LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo without it [12:05] ok [12:05] All I saw was it was a network related notification. Something to do with local domains something [12:05] DkySven: (notice the fact compiz runs implies you have working 3d support) [12:06] ah, of course XD [12:07] mzz, here it is: http://www.pastebin.be/20006 [12:08] DkySven: unset LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT and try again (I wonder how that got set though) [12:08] Ok. I installed Ubuntu, rebooted comp, got to a screen that said to enter menu press esc with a timer. I let the timer go and then I get a blank screen with a cursor in the upper left and thats where it sits [12:08] I don't know how to unset it, mzz [12:08] DkySven: "unset LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT" in the shell you're running glxinfo from [12:08] ok [12:08] hey guys. i am on jaunty here and i am using 2.6.31-020631rc4-generic mainline kernel. but now my vmware fails to compile its kernel modules. do anybody has a hint? [12:09] mzz, I still get 'direct rendering: No (LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT set)' [12:09] humans are mortals :-( [12:09] DkySven: odd. What (other than that you like to see "yes" on your screen after glxinfo) is your actual problem? [12:10] not having direct rendering was my problem [12:10] DkySven: that falls under the "I like to see 'yes' on my screen" category [12:10] ah, sorry XD [12:10] DkySven: "direct rendering" isn't equivalent to "accelerated" these days [12:10] ok [12:11] DkySven: I forgot exactly what the situation's like for radeon right now, but just seeing "no" there doesn't imply there's no 3d support [12:11] ok, good [12:11] thanks for your help then [12:12] bye [12:12] DkySven: still, bit puzzling that you don't get "yes" on your screen after unsetting LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT [12:12] Hi everybody ! [12:12] * mzz must be missing something [12:12] I have my mic and speakers set and working. However, when installing Ekiga i do not hear the four second replay. Rather i hear it all at once. Am I doing something wrong? Also, in Ekiga setup, the USB camera is listed under audio but not for the camera. [12:13] I have installed ubuntu. Rebooted comp. Got to a screen that said to enter menue press esc with a timer.

[12:17] like next lightest way [12:18] Ubuntu 9.04 has the same sound problem as 8.10 and it can be fixed by creating a new file /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf containing the line options snd-hda-intel model=mobile [12:18] how do i apply the fix? [12:19] can not convert text to pdf from terminal , is it ? [12:20] snoopddrm: i would do « echo "options snd-hda-intel model=mobile" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf » [12:20] snoopddrm: make sure you do not make a typo [12:20] erUSUL: thank you. do i do this in the terminal window?

Lets see if this works. [12:26] D4VE: add the path of the executable to PATH or symlink your executable somewere in your current path [12:26] How do i go about doing that? [12:27] D4VE: sudo ln -s /path/to/your/executable /usr/bin/cowpatty should work [12:27] bling!

[12:46] aftertaf: yes, how do i use the shared folder [12:47] erUSUL: Ubuntu 9.04 has the same sound problem as 8.10 and it can be fixed by creating a new file /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf containing the line options snd-hda-intel model=mobile [12:47] nikolatesla: once activated, you go to windows network neighbourhood, and virtualbox folder appears there [12:47] snoopddrm: i told you how to add the fix earlier ... do you want me to repeat it ? [12:47] against my better judgement i put xp on my ubuntu netbook as a virtuALBOX and it has been downloadingg microsh1t updates all night [12:47] erUSUL: yes, please if you don't mind ;-) [12:47] snoopddrm: is « echo "options snd-hda-intel model=mobile" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf » [12:48] nikolatesla: 1.( it's microsoft 2.) please control your language [12:48] snoopddrm: again make sure you do not make a typo with the command [12:48] I have a program that's looking for my gamepad at /dev/js0 instead of /dev/input/js0 and I've not been able to find a way to change where it looks other than opening it with a terminal every time. Is there a way to put like a shortcut to /dev/input/js0 there or even change the js0 location all together? [12:48] one more tiny little question: after having translated gnome and already converted all the .po files to .mo files.. does anyone know, what to do next, to make a locally installable language pack out of this?

[13:20] the hook:happy to help you ;) [13:20] drfazor: but only for root :s [13:20] gast: Or build the older version from source yourself. [13:21] jrib: so thats turn on the swap? [13:21] I give up. Looks like I'm not getting any help in here [13:21] qos: I havent tried it yet, didn't know it was supported. Will give it a go when ive got a spare five [13:21] mido2: In fact, I had compiled the version of 8.10 or 8.04, I don't remember [13:21] apoleo12: no. That shows you a summary of your swap partitions and their usage. What do you want to do? [13:22] jrib: i wanted to turn it on only that i think i see it isnt active according to system monitor [13:22] thehook, try to mount it with your account user [13:22] !swap > apoleo12 [13:23] with intel graphics controller G82845/ from jaunty + firefox to karmic alpha3 + chromium dev release, difference is like day and night :> for someones information [13:23] gastonlagaf: And that didn't work either? [13:23] ok good stuff thanks [13:23] no :( [13:24] apoleo12: "swapon -a" turns on all swap mentioned in /etc/fstab. "swapon /dev/sdXY" turns on the swap device /dev/sdXY. [13:24] apoleo12: it maybe active but maynot be used at all.. [13:24] floating: what chipset? [13:24] Is that the GMA 950? [13:25] gastonlagaf: What didn't work? Compiling? [13:25] what would be the 'proper' location for any SDK i would like to store on my system? somewhere under usr/? opt/? or even ~? [13:25] elementz: what SDK? [13:25] mido2: It's not only a bug for Paris, it's for all the gret cities of the world: [13:26] elementz: /usr I reckon [13:26] jrib: in this case the ADT [13:26] gastonlagaf: So when you compiled the older version yourself, it showed the same "bug" as the newer one? [13:26] it displays only le first airport of the list contained in the file [13:26] elementz: /opt is usually used for fully independent binary packages, I wouldn't mess with /usr at all [13:26] richardcavell: 845G chipset I believe. I forgot it, and forgot the command to check that too [13:26] floating: lspci | grep graphics [13:26] elementz: if you don't need it system wide, put it in your ~. If you need it system-wide, I'd use /opt if it lacks a "unixy" structure and /usr/local/ otherwise [13:27] Can I use TrueCrypt volume to keep my personal files like xchat logs, pidgin, thunderbird? I boot ubuntu, mount the volume and the i use the root folder as usual [13:27] I have 87% in memory and swap should be active... [13:27] mido2: no, the applet didn't work at all, even if the compilation was ok [13:27] elementz: I use /usr/local for stuff that likes /usr, /opt for anything that doesn't want /user [13:27] floating: mate, I was on Jaunty and I just moved to Karmic and the difference is night and day on my GMA 950 [13:27] apoleo12: why "should"? Is it or is it not? [13:27] elementz: /usr even [13:27] but seems its not as its still 0% for swap? [13:27] apoleo12: what does « swapon -s » return? [13:27] apoleo12: thats normal, what is ur RAm size? [13:27] Dulak: On OS X it's "/Users" [13:27] k thx guys [13:28] anyone here familiar with the ti_usb_3410_5052 driver? I've got the module loaded, but its still not picking up [13:28] gastonlagaf: Very strange. You should ask the gweather people for help. [13:28] richardcavell: VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device [13:28] jrib: Dulak what is /usr/local/ actually supposed to be used for? [13:28] Iv got a annoying problem [13:28] floating: yep. 800 series [13:28] floating: I've got a 900 series [13:28] aa ok [13:28] elementz: software you install without using the package manager [13:28] elementz: it's traditionally machine specific utilities [13:28] floating: so yours is crap and mine is boosted crap [13:28] when ever i start nautilus the panels are disappearing..why is this? [13:29] mido2: Have you got the choice to choose between at least 2 cities for London for example? [13:29] apoleo12: Paste the "Swap:" line of "free". [13:29] im using jaunty [13:29] elementz: /usr/local is a "local" version of /usr which is handled by your distro [13:29] gastonlagaf: I don't know. [13:29] holdon [13:29] floating: the Intel drivers have undergone rapid development between the release of Jaunty and Karmic. Karmic includes the latest versions, 2.8.0. Jaunty is on 2.6.3. [13:29] hollyjolly: the top+bottom panels? [13:30] elementz: for instance, I use apache that I compile myself, I use /usr/local/apache as the prefix so it's isolated to it's own directory and I can easily update/replace it [13:30] Dulak: hm ok. thx. i really need to read more about the folder structures under lin [13:30] sHyLoCk_: yes [13:30] !fhs > elementz [13:30] floating: glxgears frame rate has gone to five times the speed for me now, no joke. [13:30] swapon -s returns null and ram is 1.5 g [13:30] oh, ubottu is not with us... [13:30] alright. I can see a major difference too. Now when I watch some flash videos, the cpu load even don't go to 100% every time [13:30] floating: And I used to get screen flickering and switching on and off when changing video modes. Not any more. [13:30] like with this crap it used to [13:30] jrib: yeah was just wondering ;-) [13:30] I cant paste as im on irrsi console [13:31] elementz: google "filesystem hierarchy standard" [13:31] floating: Karmic has some bugs. Apps crash regularly. But they crash cleanly. [13:31] jrib: thx [13:31] apoleo12: What is "free" telling you in the "Swap" line? [13:31] sHyLoCk_: but when i killall nautilus the panels are back again but tht also kills the desktop [13:31] apoleo12: There will be three numbers. [13:32] !pastebinit | apoleo12 [13:32] apoleo12: check ur /etc/fstab there should a /dev/sdX with swap, if you don't that means you didn't create it while installation? [13:32] ugh, I'm a monkey [13:32] hollyjolly: are you using compiz? [13:32] nop [13:32] apoleo12: you can install the program "pastebinit" and use it to show us the output [13:32] excuse me, is there anyone uninstall some gnome software with "aptitude purge"? [13:32] metacity [13:32] richardcavell: ok, yeah. I had some crashes yester5day after the install, but now I really haven't had much of them. Well, maybe i'm not using enough features :) [13:32] sHyLoCk_: im using metacity [13:32] lorasairon: best to just ask the channel your actual question [13:32] hmm [13:32] floating: I trust that they'll fix all the major bugs before release [13:33] floating: I've filed plenty of bug reports myself [13:33] richardcavell: ok [13:33] jrib: well, do aptitude purge clean those gconf entries? [13:33] floating: but the Intel driver support is *so* much better. And the Mac support is better too. [13:33] Before I had to set everything up - I maintain a set of instructions for configuring Jaunty for a Mac - but now most of it has gone upstream [13:33] !swap [13:33] sHyLoCk_: actually let me give you a smmall background... earlier I adjusted the swap size... and I cant recall now if i click on swap onor off... [13:33] lorasairon: the system-wides ones sure. Not anything user-specific. What do you actually want to do? [13:33] where's ubottu? [13:34] so there s a swap partition forsure [13:34] brb [13:34] Is anyone here able to play Counter-Strike under wine? I'm getting ping of 29 msec to the server but in-game my ping goes to about 300 [13:34] I'm having some trouble with the ubuntu server i'm trying to set up (it's first time i try doing something like this though).. i wanted it to be headless, and just use vnc, and all works fine as long as a monitor is plugged in. But when i remove the monitor, it just won't start [13:34] sHyLoCk_: its really strange, when i launch nautilus from alt+f2 everything works fine. but as soon as close the launched nautilus windows desktop also closes [13:34] i see isee [13:34] apoleo12: sudo swapon -a should set it on if it can't find a swap partition it should return an error message [13:34] jrib: well, i am just determine whether to use gnome or kde. gconf remains always bother me. i would like to know whether it is in my home directory. [13:35] I have a bug to report, whats the ettiquette? there was a reference on the site to this channel [13:35] sHyLoCk_: AFAIK it won't return an error message if there is no swap mentioned in /etc/fstab. [13:35] eXcaliburN: launchpad.net [13:35] !bug [13:35] ActionParsnip: !ubottu not here [13:35] bah [13:35] yeah it did return an errormessage and cannot paste it as Im gonna put in a paste thingy [13:36] richardcavell: cheers [13:36] lorasairon: why does gconf bother you? If you make changes to settings as your user that are managed by gconf, then it's in your HOME, yes. But so are changes that are stored in a file like ~/.bashrc as well. [13:36] eXcaliburN: np [13:36] Can I use TrueCrypt volume to keep my personal files like xchat logs, pidgin, thunderbird? I boot ubuntu, mount the volume and the i use the root folder as usual [13:36] apoleo12: Paste whatever you get at paste.ubuntu.com [13:36] apoleo12: Then post us the link here. [13:37] hollyjolly: you can run gconf-editor and check for the gnome panels settings, but i am not too sure if that will help, maybe someone else can help.. [13:37] jrib: well, after i uninstall some packages like gnome-keyring, there are still some entries remain. [13:37] lorasairon: that's true of all programs [13:37] I tried running ./ideas but I only get "unable to execute ./ideas: No such file or directory" [13:38] lorasairon: don't uninstall them, then, purge them [13:38] lorasairon: your package manager does not touch settings in your $HOME be they in stored in gconf or in some other manner [13:38] MOUD: if you type ls do you see the file? [13:38] sHyLoCk_: yep i already did checked both nautilus and panels settings [13:38] it looks fine [13:38] ActionParsnip: yes I do [13:38] apoleo12: We won't be able to help you without further informations. [13:38] MOUD: is it green? [13:38] sHyLoCk_: ok thanks though [13:38] ActionParsnip: yes in green [13:38] jrib: well, so i just confirmed that it is really kept in my home directory or in /etc/gconf. the latter will prevent me from using gnome. [13:39] MOUD: try using tab to complete the name [13:39] hello! I have a problem with my ipod touch. I tried to recover and get the error 1602. now my system doesn't recognise my ipod anymore. I am using linux and virtualbox with winXP as a guest. on the ipod touch I just see a usb cable button and the itune icon. can someone help me please? [13:39] MOUD: ./id then press tab [13:39] jrib, richardcavell: thank you for your patient explanation. [13:39] anyone here use zend studio on ubuntu ? [13:39] ActionParsnip: I did, and used chmod +x too [13:39] lorasairon: no problem [13:39] lorasairon: both. But any changes you make as your user end up in your HOME. Your user doesn't even have permission to /etc/gconf/ by default [13:39] MOUD: does the user you are currently using have read accedd (at least) to the file [13:40] ActionParsnip: hmm, I think so. I even tried with sudo [13:40] lorasairon: if you read the gconf section in the admin guides at library.gnome.org you will see how gconf works if you wish [13:41] MOUD: ok so if you run ls -l /ideas does it show up and look ok [13:41] MOUD: Is this a skript? [13:42] ActionParsnip: ls: cannot access /ideas: No such file or directory [13:42] jrib: i dont care those in my home directory. i can accept there are some system-wide entries which still stay in my /etc/gconf after uninstallation. === dani is now known as Guest25537 [13:42] mido2: it's a Nintendo DS emulator [13:42] holy s**t f**k .....

I'm getting 300 msec lag from playing it under wine [13:43] All video games are garbage in Jaunty. [13:43] Halitech: i am doing it right now, but is it possible to just restore the fs, testdisk seem to only find the vfat partition [13:43] MOUD: What says "file ideas"? [13:43] lorasairon: it's called Ideas [13:43] thehook: make an image of the whole disk and work on it with file recovery tools like photorec and the like... its all i can think of... [13:43] eremite: not so [13:44] All video games are garbage in jaunty with intel drivers*** [13:44] MOUD: oh. i thought it would be desmume. now desmume is more usable. [13:44] I get frame rate of 30 fps but lag is huge [13:44] eremite: frets on fire, penumbra, deusex, doom3 run fantastically [13:44] hi [13:44] ok ive pasted it over at paste.ubuntu... but where is it showin? [13:44] thehook, testdisk should allow you to see the files and move them to another location and then you can reformat [13:44] lstarnes: ideas exists and it's in green [13:44] I get 30fps MAX on games that get 100fps in Windows. [13:44] eremite: intel video is garbage [13:44] hullo [13:44] MOUD: is it a file, or a directory? [13:44] in my firefox cache directory, it's always empty. i've set firefox to store 50mb of cache already, but it doesn't seem to be caching anything. does anyone know why? [13:44] apoleo12: You see what you've pasted? Then give us the URL of the page you see. [13:45] ActionParsnip: I concede that, but I'm on Karmic. And in any case, my fps is about 30 [13:45] thats the payment for being stressed out :p [13:45] ActionParsnip: when I double click it nothing happens [13:45] ActionParsnip no games work well for me on jaunty, only in Windows. I hate jaunty for it. [13:45] lstarnes: a file [13:45] mun: firefox cache in /tmp? [13:45] eremite: its not jaunty, its the wine team [13:45] lorasairon: I'll try dsemume later then [13:45] mun: i found some youtube video files in /tmp. [13:45] richardcavell: me too, i think its fine [13:45] thehook: hopefully you recover your data, but make this your "I will make backups from now on moment" [13:46] lorasairon: about:cache tells me it's in my profile dir [13:46] Anyway, I have a question about the recent ff3 update. I have ff3.5, and the update manager is asking to upgrade my 3.0 files. Will this update ruin 3.5? [13:46] im in the console and it wont paste it here to show u the url [13:46] After a recent Ubuntu update (including a kernel update) I have lost the ability to use TV-out (Using HDMI via DVI). The nvidia tool simply does not recognize the TV. Is there a known bug or solution on this? [13:46] ActionParsnip: I'm not complaining about frame rate, I'm complaining about lag [13:46] apoleo12: type it out [13:46] eremite: no, it is a completely seperate app [13:46] ActionParsnip I dont use wine for gaming, I play linux native games and still only get 30fps MAX [13:46] I will restart the laptop, "maybe" it might work [13:46] lorasairon: maybe your flash caches them in /tmp? [13:46] eremite: no [13:46] MOUD: i tried something like harvest moon. [13:46] brb [13:46] eremite: go ahead and update because there are bugs and security holes < 3.0.12 [13:46] lorasairon: and did it run ok? [13:46] jrib: funny you say that, cause i just made backup of all my systems and stuff to that disk, and then I reformatted 2 systems [13:46] apoleo12: THen write the URL down by hand.......# [13:47] MOUD: it works very well with harvest moon. i mean the 2d version. [13:47] 223876 [13:47] eremite: then its the team who made the game native installer, its a seperate app made by different guys, so is not ubuntu's fault [13:47] !who | apoleo12 [13:47] ActionParsnip: they should include updated video drivers for Jaunty [13:47] *233876* [13:47] (mind you they need kernel 2.6.31 to work best) [13:47] lorasairon: I'll try it then. [13:47] richardcavell: maybe theres a tweak you can do in winecfg to make the network faster [13:47] #xubuntu [13:47] brb [13:48] apoleo12: run « sudo blkid » and update your UUID for your swap partition in fstab [13:48] ActionParsnip: it took me 3 weeks to get Half-Life working, so I'm expecting to play a game of counter-strike around mid-august [13:48] what application should i use for php, perl and js development? [13:48] richardcavell: i only use nvidia due to fantastic support, no issues here [13:48] apoleo12: Ah, you did reformat your swap and did not update the UUID... [13:49] ActionParsnip: Yeah I know. I'm thinking of buying a desktop and I'll only choose nvidia [13:49] kwaa: any text editor really [13:49] ActionParsnip: their software support has been top dog for years [13:49] ActionParsnip: Do you know nvidia employs more software engineers than hardware engineers? [13:49] richardcavell: its all ive bought since the tnt2 ultra 32mb ruled the roost [13:49] oh that explains [13:49] ok brb [13:50] ActionParsnip: It used to be Matrox that was on top when 2D support was the key [13:51] ActionParsnip: I'm looking at the nvidia website right now.

[14:14] Jimm: weird, that should let you mount a cd/dvd which is what I thought the problem might be [14:14] ActionParsnip: ive made changes and saved it... changed the uuid [14:14] brb, gonna have lunch [14:14] Dulak, I've tried mplayer too but that just locks up and displays nothing.

[14:35] cpu histrory 100% [14:35] Trijntje: I understand visudo allows commands that are standardly root to be run all the time by regular users, so what's the command that is run by the shutdown launcher that bypasses this? [14:35] apoleo12: i dont speak numbers, sorry [14:35] Trijntje actually it's not beside me i'm using SSH and trying to use VNC4server on it ! [14:35] need_help: i believe there is an option on administration->login window [14:35] i put the paste in [14:35] Trijntje if you can tell me using CLI how to fix it ! or where to look at [14:35] i cannot put url man [14:36] actionparsnip: you can just add one user to be alowed to shutdown [14:36] is there a way to merge the two panel at the top and bottom in my desktop like windows..

I'm sure there is a reason for this that some highly seasoned linux programmers came up with] [14:37] Guest51525: does it show which processes are using up the cpu? [14:37] xero: when you allow SHUTDOWN_CMDS in visudo, you can shut down using sudo shutdown -h now and it wont ask for your password. But read what actionparsnip says about security issues [14:37] need_help: its default in ubyuntu, if you are accessing from another linux box with an x server simply run: ssh -X user@servername [14:37] anildewani: i am trying to change the cpu frequency in cpu frequency scaling monitor but cannot do it [14:38] in htop or gnome sys mon?

[14:38] hi [14:39] ubuntunewbie: have you tried 'stat filename' in a terminal? [14:39] ActionParsnip yes i'm using putty [14:39] ActionParsnip: I suppose you're right, but i assumed it was some sort of leftover thing from unix. When you share a mainframe, you dont want your average user to shutdown the machine. But that doesnt apply to desktops in general [14:39] that's the thing, no [14:39] lstarnes: nope [14:39] unop, are you there still? [14:39] maverick, hmm, this is bizarre, before ppp0 gets an address eth0 has one but not after, moreover after ppp0 gets an address a route for 10.0.0.0 goes out of ppp0 (which has nothing to do with the ppp0 address) [14:39] apoleo12: thats cool, you arent using swap as you have not exhausted your ram [14:39] ActionParsnip xming where on ubuntu ? [14:39] need_help: then you need xming (if the system is windows based, putty can run on linux (no idea why)) [14:40] it's showing gnome-system-monitor 9% [14:40] ubuntunewbie: there is no way to differentiate last modification to the file from creation of the file [14:40] need_help: if the system is linux then you already have the files needed to x forward [14:40] firefox up and down, depending on whether it's in the foreground or not [14:40] thanks so ill be abusing as it shall remain top notch performance... no sluggish today! [14:40] unop, this has been same for me in many other linuxes including ubuntu from 5.10... [14:40] I'm stumped [14:40] ActionParsnip: thanks toyou [14:40] maverick, same as in, you lan doesn't work?

[14:40] unop, ya [14:41] unop, meaning my lan dosent work when i connect to the internet, unlike in xp [14:41] When I /sbin/poweroff, Ubuntu doesn't seem to shut down properly, so I'd like to get gdm to shut down (like GNOME's 'shutdown' button) - how do I tell gdm to shut down? [14:41] MOUD_away: VNC [14:41] MOUD_away: vnc is one, its not encrypted at all. What function do you need on the other desktop? [14:41] erUSUL: so does that mean ext3 , there's no way reading it ? since I wanted to know when doc files is created on a window partition.

[14:41] maverick, well, we know why it doesn't work - something is misconfiguring your IP addressing and routing. I wonder if this is a bug. [14:42] apoleo12: not sure [14:42] maverick, did you do anything special when setting up the PPP connection? [14:42] ActionParsnip i'm using windows remotely to Ubuntu, i usually use Vnc4server to remote to Gnome of ubuntu doing some download stuff ! now i turn windows trying to remote Ubuntu seems it's not login i went to gdm and turn automaticlogin=kad where kad is the username! but still when i remotely ubuntu it open as Xterm [14:42] ActionParsnip: just to locally access it [14:42] unop, it happens only in linux, even fedora and stuff.. [14:42] ActionParsnip: it's a home network [14:42] ActionParsnip: ok whateevr it is and its working [14:42] unop, no i just put my username pwd and service name in dsl box...

I just wanted to know which file was created first rather than modified [14:43] ActionParsnip: to access files, connect/disconnect from the internet, install programs [14:43] Does anyone know how to access the sourcecode for the system shutdown launcher? [14:43] Guest51525: I'm not sure === rohitkg is now known as rohitkg|afk [14:43] bk2weezy: there is no best anything in life [14:43] the rootfs is on that drive [14:43] MOUD: you can o that via ssh [14:43] xero: in the terminal, \$ instead of $ [14:43] s/o/do === rohitkg|afk is now known as rohitkg [14:44] bk2weezy: try gnomebaker/brasero/k3b [14:44] ubuntunewbie: i do not know what the capabilities of the ntfs-3g driver are or if there is a tool to display what you want... [14:44] how do i insert a dollar sign? [14:44] ActionParsnip: I am on a linux machine trying to use the desktop of a windows machine [14:44] MOUD: i see, then rdesktop will give you RDP [14:44] * kwaa wants to know how to insert a dollar sign. [14:44] lstarnes: I don't know how to type the command in the terminal.I'm trying to find out which command the shutdown on the system menu uses. [14:44] kwaa: what are you trying to insert a $ into?

I'll just go with rdp [14:47] xero: it might be some method involving dbus [14:47]  [14:47] ubuntunewbie: i do not think ext4 stores that info either... posix does not mandates that [14:47]  [14:48] unop, when in previous versions, ubuntu did not have the gui tool for pppoe, i used to use rp-pppoe, used to face the same problem === maverick_ is now known as maverick [14:48] erUSUL: just read the wiki page , it seems like didn't implement .I am not sure about it , my knowledge on ubuntu is still shallow , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4#Improved_timestamps [14:49] I'm having problem download on that program [14:49] need_help: if you are managing your downloads you don't need a full desktop. Most download clients have a web interface [14:50] unop, are you convinced that it is faulty routing? [14:50] maverick, i'm not familiar with the gnome GUI tools used to setup PPPoE - by this behaviour, i'm guessing this is a bug [14:50] ActionParsnip i mean not only download, u know maybe i'll need Remote Desktop for future!

[15:09] tavish: with what? [15:09] maverick, lord. errm, do you have the network manager running? what ip address does it report? [15:09] on boot i get error USB 3-3: device descripter read/64, error 110 how do I fix this? [15:09] ActionParsnip: for flash I want an alternative. Is Sun's java better than others? (in terms of problems and 64-bit OS compatibility) [15:09] ActionParsnip: gnash and flash, and java and icedtea [15:10] @find obamuntu [15:10] JensenDan, what does this give you. ls /etc/dhcp* [15:10] tavish: ive noticed flash is lighter but doesnt support a lot of stuff the adobe plugin gives [15:10] hi guys [15:10] MOUD: i have a script to install native 64bit from java.com if yuo wish? [15:11] MOUD: runs awesome [15:11] unop, http://www.quickfilepost.com/download.do?get=bc8cc6049acd13ccacc79e49afcd02ca [15:11] dhclient.conf dhclient-exit-hooks.d dhcpd.conf_backup [15:11] dhclient-enter-hooks.d dhcpd.conf [15:11] ActionParsnip: sure [15:11] maverick, wtf .. ha ha - this is wrong on so many levels :) [15:11] MOUD: http://pastebin.com/f35d3fff6 [15:11] Hi ! I've bought a Microsoft Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 (Wired version) it works but I can't manage to make central button to work (i.e. the button you have when you press on the wheel). Any idea why ? [15:11] unop, seriously my networking is f*ked up [15:11] anop ^ that is what i got from that :) [15:11] unop, ya i noticed [15:11] ActionParsnip: thansk [15:11] ActionParsnip: *thanks [15:12] on boot i get error USB 3-3: device descripter read/64, error 110 how do I fix this? [15:12] lord_rob: tell your system its a 5 button mouse in mouse options [15:12] need a litle help here .... I've been searching for a video capture board that works on ubuntu [15:12] !hcl | noobe [15:12] noobe: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [15:12] ActionParsnip: in xorg.conf ? [15:12] maverick, ok, maybe network-manager is the problem, so let's try this. killall nm-applet; sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager stop [15:13] JensenDan, sounds like ubuntu uses /etc/dhcpd.conf then [15:13] unop, done [15:13] on boot i get error USB 3-3: device descripter read/64, error 110 how do I fix this? [15:13] JensenDan, as opposed to /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf [15:13] ActionParsnip: How do I use this script? (never used scripts before) [15:13] thnks erUSUL, ubottu [15:13] maverick, do you require the PPP connection to get on the internet right now? [15:13] mc [15:13] unop, ya [15:13] MOUD: save the file ni a text file [15:14] on boot i get error USB 3-3: device descripter read/64, error 110 how do I fix this? [15:14] MOUD: then chmod +x the file [15:14] hm.. all right, and as iam new to this. ill ask for the copy command. it is: cp /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf /etc/dhcpd.conf [15:14] right ? :) [15:14] MOUD: then run: sudo scriptname [15:14] maverick, ouch. ok, well, we'll try not doing anything with it. sudo ifdown eth0; sudo ifup eth0; [15:14] dads: looks like 1) buggy hardware 2) a kernel bug [15:14] !bugs | dads [15:14] ActionParsnip: ok [15:14] dads: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [15:14] The scrolling wheel on my mouse doesn't work as it should, instead it tries to alter the audio volume. (Ubuntu 9.04) Any ideas? [15:14] thanks [15:15] is there a software similar to wvdial ?? [15:15] unop, done Failed to bring up eth0. [15:15] JensenDan, right, cp it is. but backup /etc/dhcpd.conf first. sudo cp /etc/dhcpd.conf /etc/dhcpd.conf.bak; sudo cp /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf /etc/dhcpd.conf [15:15] all right :) thanks, ill try, and get back with the result :) [15:15] * Pelo is bored [15:16] hi all [15:16] maverick, ok, that might just be the post-up command we used. what does ifconfig report about eth0s address? still 10.0.0.1? [15:16] unop, i can still see some members on ip tux, but their names take quite a while to appear...does that make any sense [15:16] device not accepting address 5 error how do I fix this? [15:16] unop yes.. [15:16] maverick, yes, you are using a class A address, that's about 2^16 addresses [15:16] dads, what device whould that be ? [15:17] unop, it still tells me that there is no eth attached, wtf [15:17] unop, i dont have any idea what you are talking about :) [15:17] I am not sure [15:17] dads, I just came in , I don'T know if you've been working on this with someone else, what where you trying to do when you got this error [15:17] maverick, 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 is one of 65536 other address on the same network -- scanning 65536 takes a considerable amount of time. [15:17] Hello [15:18] !hi | ubuntizer [15:18] Hey, pelo [15:18] wassup [15:18] I was trying to start FireStarter Firewall [15:18] maverick, anyway. now what does iptux report about your address? [15:19] unop, but it functions ok if im not connected to the net...still the same 10.20.51.5 [15:19] Pelo, I was trying to start Fire Starter Firewall [15:19] dads, firestarter is not the firewall, it's just a gui interface, unless you have an actual need of a firewall I wouldn'T bother, ubuntu is not like windows [15:19] from? [15:19] ok, thanks [15:20] dads, infact I'M not even sure that firestarter would still work now , I beleive that ubuntu now uses another firewall then the one firestarter was made for [15:20] dads: firestarter is a config gui to iptables, firestarter doesnt need to always be running [15:20] maverick, :/ this isn't normal. [15:21] unop, now? [15:21] maverick, if i were you, i would try some other means of configuring pppoe rather than use network-manager [15:21] Русские есть? [15:21] !ru [15:21] maverick, network-manager could be the source of your issue, but i am not certain [15:21] !ru [15:21] inc_: please type /join #ubuntu-ru [15:22] Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [15:22] maverick, right now it seems like the configuration setup by network manager is remaining and that's confusing all your applications (iptux, etc) [15:22] unop, so what can i do..any other applications for pppoe.. [15:24] !hi [15:24] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [15:24] maverick, well, there's the pppoe and ppoeconf packages that can help. see http://db.glug-bom.org/wiki/index.php/PPPoE_Configuration [15:24] unop, pppoeconf does not allow me to set the service name, thats why i used to use rppppoe in the first place === LeMoNiCe is now known as h32Lg [15:24] maverick: i used gnome ppp and it worked great. i used it with peoplepc for an uncle of mine when I set him up with ubuntu. [15:25] maverick, rp-ppoe seems to be promising, but you've said you've already tried it. maybe another try ? [15:25] maverick, ok, that post there doesn't talk about pppoeconf , just pppoe [15:25] I think all my shutdown messages seem to go into a pts when I run 'shutdown' from xterm, which means I don't see them. [15:25] anyone know how to help me get my card reader working? [15:25] oh, you guys aren't talking about dialup internet are you? [15:25] jet_: what is the problem? just ask your question. [15:26] can anyone tell me the command to shutdown my pc ? [15:26] anyone knows a good ps2 emulator for linux? [15:26] maverick, and this configuration file for pppoe seems to indicate that you can set the service name - http://db.glug-bom.org/wiki/index.php/Sample_pppoe.conf_file [15:26] ubuntizer, sudo shutdown -now [15:26] unop, i find that the pppoe package is rppppoe and not some other package [15:26] i have one of those o2 micro card readers and from what ive researched so far i might need a driver installed [15:26] ubuntizer: i just issue sudo shutdown now from the termainl [15:26] unop, i have tried this out [15:26] Good Afternoon, I still very new to ubuntu and just ran into my first problem I cannot solve. I have updated to from kernel 2.6.28-11 to 2.6.28-13 and since then my wireless doesn't work on the new kernal but does on the previous one. I have read about drivers being black listed, is this right ? Many thanks [15:27] Thanks halitech & mada01_ :-) [15:27] unop, its roaring penguin pppoe and it is the same [15:27] DIYer, try booting back the previous kernel and doing an other update [15:27] Good evening, I have just installed Ubuntu in my Laptop, and I hope to learn something from you guys here. [15:27] DIYer: you need to tell us what chipset your wireless card is. what does lspci -v return? and paste all the info at pastebin.com and then paste that link here. [15:28] oh christ [15:28] how can I change the mac address of my network card and wireless card? [15:28] what package is the firmware package named now? [15:28] Ok will paste give me a tick [15:28] mazda01, can i set the service name with gnome ppp [15:28] linux-firmware dosn't exists apparently [15:28] maverick, well, the conf file lets you set the service name - or atleast that's what this one says - so maybe its worth investigating why yours wouldn't [15:28] What driver should I use for a Dell AIO 810? [15:28] maverick: you're talking about dialup? what do you mean about the service name? [15:28] unop, yes im presently trying it out [15:28] jacosis, what are you hoping to learn? [15:28] It is nowhere in the printer driver database, even under Dell. (AIO 810) [15:28] MOUD: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/change-your-network-card-mac-address-on-ubuntu.html [15:29] maverick, but this is a little beyond me, also, i have to leave for a bit now - i'll be back in an hour or so [15:29] unop, im talking about the raspppoe dialup, the one that is in the wikipage [15:29] ActionParsnip: thanks again [15:29] hussam, what printer model are you looking for ? [15:29] MOUD: scrap that, too long [15:29] can anyone tell me if there is a room that helps with multimedia ? ( tv capture ) ? [15:29] MOUD: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-your-network-card-mac-address-on-ubuntu/ [15:29] Halitech: I want to be good at Ubuntu, but somehow I just don't know where to start. [15:29] are there someone who knowns something about fcheck [15:29] unop, thanks all the same for your time.. [15:29] MOUD: easier [15:29] ActionParsnip: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:29] what dıes it do [15:29] ActionParsnip: hehe [15:29] noobe, got an app to do that ? try #appname [15:29] jacosis, its the same as windows, its just an OS that you use to do things [15:30] noobe: you could try mythtv but they'll only help you if you;re using mythtv. you could look for a channel like kino, kdenlive or other video editing programs [15:30] Pelo, I am using a Dell AIO 810. Should I use a Lexmark driver for it instead? [15:30] oh god [15:30] maverick, well, if i were you, right. I would try and get a pppoe connection up without network-manager or any other GUI tools (for now atleast) .. and then, make use of the /etc/network/interfaces file to setup addressing [15:30] don't tell me intrepid has the firmware package but hardy dosn't [15:30] Here you go mazda01 http://pastebin.com/d23488998 [15:30] hope that works [15:30] :) [15:30] FFFFFFing google build environments [15:30] unop, lol can you tell me how to restore the network manager applet at present [15:30] hussam, you don't ... http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Dell-Photo_AIO_Printer_810 [15:30] how do you make something that only works reliably on one version of Ubuntu? :/ [15:31] lol, this is killing me! [15:31] maverick, the key objective here is to ensure that each interface gets it's required address and that routing is not messed up. [15:31] maverick: i second that, i couldn't use network manager, I had to use gnome ppp all by itself to get dialup working [15:31] Halitech: I am pretty familiar with Windows, and I have tried Ubuntu 9.04 for a couple of days, and I think it's quite different from it. [15:31] hussam, usualy drivers are good for a family of printer, you just need to figure out which dell driver is the one you need [15:31] maverick, sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager start; nm-applet; [15:31] SD card reader help [15:31] mazda01_, yes gnome ppp seems good im trying it now :D [15:31] afternoon all [15:31] how do I force my network to stop and start? [15:31] i can see it with lspci but it doesnt function [15:31] jet_: and what help do you want, just ask your question [15:31] *network card [15:32] jacosis, the way things are configured yes, but if you want to browse you still open a browser, write a letter you open open office, etc [15:32] mazda01: im not really sure where to begin [15:32] unop, thanks its back, ill try gnomeppp now [15:32] seems promising [15:32] hey guys, I'm back with my Ubuntu sound problems which is: when I lower the master volume about halfways there is no sound. I think that volume does not change acording to the slider. does anybody have any ideeas? [15:32] ffs.... [15:32] if i apt-get remove dhcp3-server [15:32] jet_: when you put a sd card in, nothing pops up on the desktop? [15:32] will it then delete all the config files to? [15:32] mazda01: nothing [15:32] JensenDan, back them up just to be safe [15:32] brb... [15:32] Yuki i need them to be deleted :D [15:32] * Yuki dosn't like package managers [15:32] ill start from fresh [15:32] JensenDan, delete them to be safe then [15:32] :P [15:33] :D [15:33] dahm :p what is the delete command ? :) [15:33] JensenDan: apt-get remove --purge [15:33] exit [15:33] Loky: a lot of times, it's because you need to control both the pcm and the master at the same time. open system, prefs, sound, then in the lower list make sure you click on both pcm and master. then when you move the volume slider it should control both [15:33] what Myrtti said [15:33] - -purge, what does that do ? [15:33] JensenDan, rm [15:33] JensenDan: purges the configs [15:33] JensenDan, removes all traces, i'd guess [15:33] JensenDan: it purges the program and it's config files [15:33] hussam, you might want to have a look in here http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting [15:34] mazda01_: can i get gnome ppp to connect via eth0? [15:34] what program? you dident specified a program, and i have some other config files that i DONT want to delete [15:34] hey guys i have a problem with openoffice. i modded my splashscreen but it loads too fast now so i cant really marvel at it. how can i make it last longer? [15:34] Halitech: I am from China, and I know very little people who use open source sofrwares. Most of them use Windows. I have already figured out how to browse, how to play movie and online videos, but I still don't understand the mechnism of it. [15:34] JensenDan: what ever prograsm you're trying to remove [15:34] how do i figure out which device rythmbox is using for sound? i get sound from rythmbox bot no other programs [15:35] JensenDan, apt-get remove --purge [15:35] :P [15:35] mazda01, sorry but it's not working, as you said it's controlling both, but the result is the same, the slider is not changing the volume proportionately [15:35] jacosis: huh? mechanism of it? [15:35] any other ideeas? [15:35] jacosis, do you mean how the code actually works? I doubt anyone but the devs actually understand that [15:36] just so so [15:36] Taus: rhythmbox uses gstreamer config files for it's sound defintion I am pretty sure [15:36] how can i run graphical clamAV interface in root mode? It says I cannot update unless i am in root [15:36] In this chat is not all on the X86 system architecture content! [15:36] ...? [15:36] anyone has any idea how i can get gnome ppp to connect via eth0 [15:36] nikolatesla: start it with gksudo [15:37] mazda01_: thx a million bro, i'll check it out :) [15:37] what is the terminal command to try and mount an sd card? [15:37] pppoe-conf [15:37] how do i know the filename to invoke [15:37] So iam back at start. can someone link to one guide there is actually working? i have tryed SERVAL on google, bot none of them seems to work. [15:37] nikolatesla, I think you need the clamtk package to run graphically [15:37] also is there a keyboard shortcut to get terminal in a window instead of full screen [15:37] Halitech: O, I see. I don't expect to be very good at it or to develop any softwares. My major in college is Pharmacy, so I just want to handle Ubuntu just like I handle Windows. [15:38] >_< [15:38] jacosis, then just use it and don't worry about the underlying how of why it works [15:38] i have tk interface for clam [15:38] nikolatesla: i recommend installing tilda [15:38] hi all can i ask here about ( terminal server client ) that exist on ubuntu or not ? [15:38] nikolatesla: go to system, prefs, main menu (if you're in gnome) and click on properties of the clam av menu item, and you'll see how it's run. you could also just add gksudo in front of it right there so that when you click on it from the menu you'll activate it as root [15:38] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick says that FAT16 or FAT32 is required. Will good old ext3 not work? [15:38] JensenDan, guide for what? [15:38] test [15:38] prateek, probably not because of the boot code it's using, i bet [15:39] fidz, C+ [15:39] can anyone see this? test test [15:39] :D [15:39] "yes we can" ;) [15:39] Halitech: I just want to be like, whenever I run into a problem I could think of a way to dissolve it. Now, I just can google the problem and solve it and didn't even have any idea how I did it. [15:39] maverick_: i sent you a pm [15:39] it works [15:39] Yuki: Ok, thanks. That's unfortunate. [15:39] fidz, reminds me of the tickle me elmo joke ... [15:39] As of version 3.00, SYSLINUX works with FAT32 as well, which is handy for users of larger drives. [15:39] jet_: i sent you a pm, i'll try to help you [15:39] prateek, you can partition it and install grub and everything if you want, though [15:39] Can someone take a look at my log and see why my wireless has stopped working in the last kernal update ? http://pastebin.com/d23488998 Thanks ver much [15:40] hi all can i ask here about ( terminal server client ) that exist on ubuntu or not ? [15:40] hehe... sorry, just testing xchat and irc [15:40] at the cli it shows that clamav engine is out of date [15:40] I have multiple email accounts set up in Evolution. How can I have all mail from those accounts consolidated into the "on this computer" inbox (and folders)? [15:40] yet i updated clamav in synaptic [15:40] jacosis, when you run into issues, post a thread on the forum along with the info you have and ask for assistance in understanding the codes you have to run, or come in here and ask or look it up with man (program name) [15:40] #yafaray [15:40] mazda01: never got the pm where would it pop up? [15:41] suggest me the best download manager, using which i can download from my rapidshare premium :-) [15:41] Halitech: Ok, I see. Thanks. [15:41] nikolatesla: its like that for somereasno, i think you'l need a repo with a newer version, or compile clmav [15:41] Yuki. for setting up dhcp3-server. what i actually want to do, is that i have 6 netcards in my server (the 5 of them gets ip adresses provided from my isp). then i want to serve dhcp on the number 6 interface, and later route with the server, but first of all i need to serve dhcp. [15:41] what sudo command will get the codec to play commercial dvd with vlc [15:41] nikolatesla: do you know about medibuntu? [15:41] are you trying to multihome from the same isp? :) [15:41] Halitech: May I ask which country are you in? [15:42] Yuki: I'm not sure if I'll be able to set everything up correctly. I guess I'll reformat as FAT32 (I just got a 320 GB hard disk and I want to make a small part of it for a Kubuntu live install). I'll keep the rest of it as NTFS (would have done ext3 had it not been for Windows compatibility) [15:42] ok thanks action [15:42] nikolatesla, you don't need to run it as sudo, you probably need libdvdcss2 [15:42] lb i think i have that [15:42] suggest me the best download manager, using which i can download from my rapidshare premium :-) [15:42] jacosis, I'm in Canada [15:42] nikolatesla: sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 [15:42] prateek, boot the ubuntu install cd and point it at the external drive... that should work. :P [15:42] nikolatesla: you need the medibuntu repo adding (if you don't have it) [15:42] just leave space for a windows partition or something [15:42] Halitech: I'm in Halifax too \o/ [15:42] Yuki, what do you mean ? :o iam trying to run a simple bnc server, with the 5 ipadresses that i have, but i need to route one of the ip adresses, to my other server :) and to my private router :) [15:42] !medibuntu [15:42] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [15:43] ekimmargni, cool .. ever go to the lug meetings? [15:43] JensenDan, ah, I was making a joke about silly things people do [15:43] Yuki: Yeah of course, if I also carry around a CD :-) [15:43] !medibuntu | nikolatesla [15:43] nikolatesla: please see above [15:43] Halitech: I keep meaning to :P [15:43] prateek, no, if you install it to the usb drive like normal drive, the usb drive is bootable [15:43] :) [15:43] ekimmargni: leeds here [15:43] Halitech: It's middle night here in China. I must get some sleep now. It's nice talking to you. Buy. [15:43] jet_: are you not seeing my private message. i am trying to help you outside of the channel because this channel moves fast [15:43] Yuki :) all right, iam a bit new in this linux world, so i dont get anything :) and not to lie, iam also new to dhcp and routing. lol. but iam getting there with the terminal in linux :) [15:43] ekimmargni, me too but hard to find a sitter for my son so I can go [15:43] jacosis, have a good night [15:43] mazda01: i never got anything [15:44] JensenDan, I know how to do exactly what you want..... with Windows NT4/2K/2k3 :P [15:44] but, the first five cards are static assignments, correct? [15:44] Yuki :) the other server is actually a win 2k3 server :p [15:44] they don't dhcp themselves, do they? [15:44] well, then click on my name to go into a private chat. [15:44] Yuki: Oh that way, you mean I use Ubiquity to install Ubuntu on the hard disk itself. Hmm... actually I don't understand this very well. If I do that the "live" nature of the live CD/USB will be gone. It won't detect hardware and all at bootup. The point is I might use the hard disk to boot at some public computer somewhere... [15:45] Yuki, yes they do. dhcp, i have to do that to get the ip adresses from my isp, but some of them is static from them, locked on macadress [15:45] ugh [15:45] what file to gkedit to add the repo [15:45] prateek, why wouldn't the 'live' nature still be there? [15:45] nikolatesla, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [15:45] nikolatesla: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [15:45] it's not like the kernel can't see other hardware and load the modules. ubuntu does install *all* the modules, afaik [15:46] hi guys [15:47] !hi | MerlinW [15:47] MerlinW: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [15:47] hi [15:47] does anyone know the verdict on php perlpython ruby and java fromoscon? [15:47] Yuki: Well there will certainy be differences. A usual Ubuntu install boots to a login screen, and you need a username and password. A live system has a passwordless 'ubuntu' user. Not that I particularly care about this. What I want is that it should work on a variety of hardware. The static /etc/fstab installed once and for all shouldn't cause issues...

[16:41] JensenDan: I have been using the dhcp package rather than the dhcp3-server package. I am a bit surprised to see that there are now competing packages. I am not familiar with differences with dhcp3-server. [16:41] Halitech: i can use and format the drive with windows (ntfs) but i can't format under ubuntu/debian/suse with mkfs :/ [16:41] q0_0p, no, u no need /proc /tmp [16:42] zeitsofa, is it a u3 drive?

[16:44] JensenDan: Your /etc/defaults/dhcp3-server contains "interfaces=" but should have INTERFACES="eth5" === kapipi is now known as kapibara [16:45] legend2440, im looking at it just want to understand why i back up certain things and why i dont [16:45] legend2440, i dont understand why exclue proc and sys [16:45] q0_0p, than ok. [16:46] INTERFACES="eth5" [16:46] this is the exact copy paste from the file [16:46] Halitech: no it is an internal drive [16:46] zeitsofa, ok, I had asked if it was a thumb drive and thought you said it was .... can you format it with ext3? [16:46] I have an omnivision webcam. How do i get it to work on Ubuntu? [16:47] JensenDan: I guess the "dhcp3-server" at the bottom of your pastebin was a different file then. [16:48] Halitech: sorry for that :/ and no i cant format the drive under linux. neither with ext* nor with xfs. [16:49] stroyan: that was the only file i dident copyed, i just wrote it by hand :) [16:49] JensenDan: Your "interfaces" paste seems to have a problem with "network 192.168.0.0" instead of "network 192.168.1.0" [16:49] i can delete /proc and if i mkdir /proc everything will be ok? [16:50] storyan: i have not provided the interfaces file with some network ? [16:50] oh [16:50] i think i found it to ;) [16:52] JensenDan: Do you really have a second DNS server at 192.168.1.2, or did you just copy an example dhcpd.conf that used "option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2;" ? === me is now known as Guest36501 [16:52] MerlinW: ok so if I edit the networking file and then restart networking I should have an access point found via dhcp correct?

It is strange how the firefox-update feature did not update me to 3.5. [17:27] JensenDan: If you are using the same router as your dhcp server is configured for in its "interfaces" file, then you would have a line pointing to your 192.168.1.1. [17:27] madagascar27, However I think it's better to first open a post in the forums and see if some can help, if not come back to me and I'll explain to you how to install the Gnome. [17:27] moustafaza: how [17:27] mikejet: you may have, but are you running it? firefox-3.5 from the terminal? [17:27] anyone been having trouble with Weather Update not updating lately? [17:27] stroyan: i will use the dhcp server, as router also. [17:27] bazhang, what was the comand again? [17:27] moustafaza: sorry i am using a live dc will it still work?

[17:28] unko, alt f2 compiz --replace to start alt f2 metacity --replace to get out [17:28] JensenDan: Then use "option routers 192.168.1.100;" [17:28] * sonikku slaps himself... duh...

[17:30] madagascar27, Get a piece of paper and I'll tell you what to do. OK? [17:30] moustafaza: sure [17:30] m0r0n, never used it, let me try [17:30] bazhang, nothing happend?

So write down sudo apt-get install irssi (To run it after installation just type irssi) [17:31] JensenDan: Your dhcp server system will also need some way to get to the internet.

You should not see multiple gateway entries with mask 0.0.0.0. The one on eth5 really should be mask 255.255.255.0. Also check netstat of a client system.

[17:56] Help I am using the live CD and I want 2 access my windows files how can I do this??? [17:57] coleys, ask here [17:57] bazhang: It has nothing on how to uninstall [17:57] madagascar27: sudo mkdir /media/windows && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/windows [17:57] your display is not properly configured for theme and animation support. to use these features you must enable compositing [17:57] madagascar27: gksudo nautilus. Note you should only do this temporarily (like on a live cd) [17:57] what do i do to fix that? [17:57] I just asked, where the wubi channel is... :) [17:57] jrib: is it okay if its a kubuntu CD [17:57] k thanx [17:57] coleys, ask Wubi questions here [17:57] madagascar27: No. === kronix` is now known as kronix [17:58] madagascar27: nope, try #kubuntu [17:58] I have no questions regarding wubi. :p [17:58] m0r0n, no idea then [17:58] jrib: okay thanks 4 the help [17:59] aksci_: SysReq is a key on your keyboard, usually combined on the PrntScrn button. [17:59] JensenDan: It is normal for an interface to show in netstat -rn with a gateway of 0.0.0.0. The trouble is when there are two many lines with a Genmask of 0.0.0.0. Those can soak up packets that should be routed somewhere else. [17:59] bazhang: Where do programs usually install? [17:59] madagascar27: sudo mkdir /media/windows && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/windows [17:59] salam [17:59] stroyan, but i still have as many lines as i used to have.

[18:01] mechtech_ny: I am back after disabling the boot options for usb but still the error is coming [18:02] JensenDan: You should get rid of the "0.0.0.0 192.168.1.10 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth5" line on your dhcp server. It says that packets to anywhere can be sent to 192.168.1.10 for forwarding. If that isn't true, then you need to find and fix a config file that sets that. [18:02] I have a feeling I have made a typo or a syntax mistake [18:02] coleys: it could not find the package [18:02] madagascar27: sudo apt-get install gparted [18:02] vishal: can you write down the entire error and type it into http:paste.ubuntu.com? [18:02] madagascar27: And tell me the windows partition... sda# [18:03] arand: oh! wow! thanks! :) [18:03] what is Xgl? [18:03] where can I find the entire error ? the reason I ask is I can only see the error during boot for a second [18:03] compiz says that Xgl is not present [18:03] I'm having problems with debsign & gpg: http://pastebin.com/m56f1ccf3 , keys are recently generated using gpg, I have both $GPGKEY and $DEBSIGN_KEYID set to the specific keyid, what more could it be?

[18:05] JensenDan: Looking at a client system- You should see "netstat -rn" output there that says all packets can be sent to your 192.168.1.100 system for forwarding. [18:05] madagascar27: No open gparted, and tell me the partition for windows, and then I will give you the command. [18:05] !flash [18:05] madagascar27: The command you will just copy/paste, and ill tell you where to locate your files. [18:06] Hmm. Does one knows what is the correct packake to install to get full Flash player under 9.04 X64 ? [18:06] coleys: i get a bunch of failed messages [18:06] madagascar27: Open konsole and type... sudo gparted [18:07] sisif: do you want to main flash? I am using an alternative of macromedia flash.

The only problem I see is the dhcp servers configuration regarding the 192.168.1.10 route. [18:16] http://paste.ubuntu.com/233986/ i cant enable composite thingy [18:16] :( [18:16] stroyan, regarding the 192.168.1.10 route? what do you mean ? [18:16] vishal: do you have a USB drive plugged in? [18:16] You should get rid of the "0.0.0.0 192.168.1.10 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth5" line on your dhcp server. It says that packets to anywhere can be sent to 192.168.1.10 for forwarding. If that isn't true, then you need to find and fix a config file that sets that.

[18:19] need SD card reader help [18:19] how do i get compiz to start automatically in ubuntu? [18:19] - [18:19] JensenDan: Your pastebin said "address 192.168.1.100". You could also check that the dhcp server is willing to forward packets between interfaces. Use "sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward". It should be set to 1. [18:19] pagoda: use System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Effects [18:19] can you tell me what options are available? It seems your error is due to some sort of invalid option, or something that needs to be enabled that is currently disabled, one or the other [18:20] jrib, it's on "custom" [18:20] pagoda: then it should load [18:20] hello got problem donna know what happen when i log in! give me error : /etc/gdm/Xsession then /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/all_ALL linked to /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/default. then mktemp permission denied! if i log using root it log in , any other user got this error! any help thx [18:20] hmm hold on [18:20] mechtech_ny: do you mean the options in my bios ?

[18:30] edbian, Ya It used to work perfectly with me when I installed the system from the live CD, but since I used the minimal installation and I'm having some strange problems. [18:30] thats why i said: try it, and u will decide [18:30] stroyan: history command is not showing exactly what's inside the .bash_history file. [18:30] moustafaza: That's odd. [18:30] stroyan: It contains the same commands of the history command and a few more. [18:31] anyone had problems in blender with this? http://intertricity.com/projectr/blenderProblem.png [18:31] edbian, Ya I had some back experience with my minimal installation.

An already running shell will cache history responses in its own memory. [18:32] mechtech_ny, No, sorry?? [18:32] mechtech_ny, can you give me a URL?

[19:02] jefinc: I think it does. Here's the part that mentioned My Passport: /dev/sdb1 on /media/My Passport type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096) [19:03] Spad-XIII: that should allow you to use your external display. start it with gksudo, make it do what you want, apply, and save the xorg file [19:03] mazda01: http://pastebin.com/m5d25234c [19:03] i was using nvidias 180 drivers but then i tried to update to 185. and thats when it broke [19:04] mazda01, yea, i used that to setup the dual-screen .. but using that, the laptopscreen is not showing part of the screen. i've set it up as separate x screen, with different resolutions [19:04] yoyo: you're still using the 180 drivers per dmesg [19:04] yoyo: what's not working? [19:05] JensenDan: That howto thread at the forum shows how to put a link to the script into a /etc/rc*.d directory to make it run every time you reboot. Running the script (as root) will enable the packet forwarding and NAT to allow your clients to get out to the internet. [19:05] I'm trying to change keymap on my ubuntu server via ssh. I get "Deferring virtual terminal setup until console accessible.". Why? [19:05] 185.xx was total crap at least in vdpau-sense, the latest 190.18 beta works fine [19:06] jeanchauvin: try mounting with a name that doesn't use a space, first create the mount point, sudo mkdir /media/passport then sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/passport [19:06] Spad-XIII: are you using the correct resolutuions for each screen? [19:06] and 180.xxx was also fine [19:06] triptec: The mapping is for the text console rather than the X server. It won't change the mapping while the X server is active.

And it's not completely necessary now, but is there a way to get it to mount to the desktop? [19:11] what can i do about that? [19:11] grkblood13: it isn't a matter of opening port 22, but of having something sitting there ready to listen [19:11] MerlinW hey man I tried that stuff and still no dice couldnt get dhcp to respond [19:11] When my ubuntu server starts up it starts with the wrong mdadm configuration, if I bring them down the auto scan to rebuild the arrays it finds them perfectly.

It displays on top of everything and I can't remove it.

[19:12] Spad-XIII: i had to resort to editing /etc/network/interfaces by hand to get wpa2 working (some howto from ubuntuforums.org) [19:12] jeanchauvin: it should work fine on reboot, and as for it not showing up on the desktop I believe there is a way to change that, just requires some snooping around [19:13] how can I grep the current date from a file? [19:13] vega_: i tried editing by hand indeed (though, before installing the linux-backports-modules) but without any luck ..

[19:44] Bob_Dole: Thanks [19:45] what's the most customizable Desktop envirnent to use?

[19:45] Code_Bleu, 8.04 LTS has almost no regressions, graphics are fine on everything, etc. [19:45] i have backed my server up, i just want to avoid spending hours fixing my email, web if i dont have to. === kronix` is now known as kronix [19:46] * Bob_Dole moved to ubuntu because of 8.04. 9.04 is a little disappointment after it..but the WACOM tablet support is excellent.

The pluign installer is trying to install the latter [19:47] Code_Bleu: do the upgrade at night or something, and pray the upgrade doesn't screw up [19:47] is there another compiler i can use to compile c code? [19:47] gcc isnt working [19:47] Code_Bleu: if it does, you should have the config files backed up so re-doing everything won't be too painful [19:47] so is it " sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" or " sudo do-distribution-upgrade" or are these the same exact thing? [19:48] Add/Remove gives me this error when I try to install packages: There is another synaptic running in non-interactive mode. Please wait for it to finish first.

[20:35] I am trying to run ubuntu from an external hard drive, but every time I try to load ubuntu (Select it from the GRUB menu), it doesn't even access the external hd and just drops me to busybox, what should i do? [20:35] stercor: reformat it [20:35] What does %U mean in a command? [20:35] stercor: but ext2 to ext3 can probably be done "in place" ie without formatting [20:35] stercor: I already tried that [20:35] i am little confused about renice.. if i renice 10 it changes its priority to 10.. is that makes it more aggressive or less.. i want the process to gets highest prioroty to finish it sooner [20:36] stercor: try using the Gnome Partition Editor.. it's a nice point and click gui [20:36] slart: I don't want to reinstall Ubuntu... [20:36] WIGGMPk: looks like some sort of formating code used by 'printf' or some specific commands. [20:36] axisys: man renice might tell you more [20:36] Slart: i did man renice.. but still not clear.. :-( [20:36] slart: How do I bring up the Gnome Partition Editor? [20:37] When you open F-Spot Viewer, does it work for you? I get, "Invalid URI: The format of the URI could not be determined: %U" [20:37] stercor ,try this tutorial : http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/ext2toext3.htm [20:37] question on using logitech mx5500 revolution keyboard set. [20:37] slart: command-line is fine. [20:37] stercor: Look at "man tune2fs". It actually says that changing the /etc/fstab entry for a filesystem to ext3 will trigger an automatic conversion to ext3 on reboot. [20:37] axisys: 20 is "idle" priority.. ie makes things run when nothing else does.. 0 is normal.. -20 is the highest priority [20:37] artistxe: what's the difference? [20:37] I am trying to run ubuntu from an external hard drive, but every time I try to load ubuntu (Select it from the GRUB menu), it doesn't even access the external hd and just drops me to busybox, what should i do?

[20:38] sebsebseb ? the difference between Primary and Logical ? [20:38] Slart: thanks a lot [20:38] sebseb [20:38] spencer: clarify what you mean. If you mean mount a external usb drive.. You can add an entry for it in /etc/fstab [20:38] axisys: you're welcome [20:38] artistxe: yep [20:38] arianit: logical is the extended? [20:39] sebsebseb, to put it very simply , Primary would be a main and logical would be secondary to the main . yes. extended. [20:39] Slart: so in my case i made the priority to -20 .. lets see if it finishes sooner.. i am making an iso of a dvd and i want it to be fast .. i am running it like this cat /dev/cdrw > file.iso [20:39] artistxe: yep that's what I thought [20:39] Dr_willis, i just got myself a mx5500 revolution set. The receiver is a bluetooth receiver.. which works fine at bios and at grub.. but for some reason, at the login time, i have to physically reconnect both the dongle and the mouse/keyboard connection.

[20:42] axisys: i think dd is as fast as you can get [20:42] axisys: creating an iso probably isn't limited by cpu power, it probably depends more on data being shuffled from the dvd to the hard drive and memory === scarface\ is now known as scarface [20:42] how to install xfce4 on ubuntu 8.04.1 [20:42] stercor: yup.. ext3 is the default fs for ubuntu iirc [20:42] Slart: i have 1.5g mem [20:42] Slart: Thanks. === scarface is now known as Guest50780 [20:43] I am trying to run ubuntu from an external hard drive, but every time I try to load ubuntu (Select it from the GRUB menu), it doesn't even access the external hd and just drops me to busybox, what should i do?

I'm using Xchat [21:08] Frogging101: Boot from external hard drive [21:08] 1) First thing you have to do is change the booting seq of your comt to 1. CD 2. USB. 3. Laptop HDD [21:08] 2) you install ubuntu using the live CD. [21:08] 3)Once you get to the last screen before install click advanced change the location for the grub loader from HD0 to HD1 [21:08] 3) After the install when you restart the system enter the edit mode on the grub menu and give the location of the boot sector as Hd0 from HD1. This is because when you are installing from the live CD the C:\ resides is the primary drive (hd0), and the External HDD is more secondary (hd1). But when the computer boots from USB: Computer Boots, GRUB sees the External HDD as PRIMARY now (hd0), and the Laptop HDD as the SECONDARY (hd1) [21:08] kmmr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:08] wow, that paste tool is pretty useful [21:09] by the way, does anyone know why i have no "mic boost" option? i desperately need it === Ambri is now known as kinetic [21:10] is there a way to test the nvidia-drivers using a live-cd ? i'm trying to figure out how to get the Fn+F8 button (=switch display) to work on my laptop. i've just downloaded the 9.10 alpha live-cd and the button appears to be "working".. but that's with the default display drivers and not the nvidia-drivers [21:10] has anyone tried the ps3 sixaxis controller in ubuntu? [21:10] kmmr: when you say change the boot loader location from HD0 to HD1, is HD0 the external or is it HD1? [21:10] Anyone know how to use gnutella with limewire, soulseek or other networks? [21:10] and is there any way for me to add the old podcasts to the podcast option on rthym box, i've tried copying them to the podcast folder, but no luck. [21:12] hi. is there anywhere that rhythmbox stores a list of podcasts? I've wipped my harddrive, after backing it all up,and now want to add the feeds I had in rthymbox without reentering them all...is there a way? [21:13] and is there any way for me to add the old podcasts to the podcast option on rthym box, i've tried copying them to the podcast folder, but no luck.

[21:22] Slart: then how do i upgrade to 8.04 LTS then? [21:22] Code_Bleu: dist-upgrade just upgrades more packages than a upgrade would do..

[22:30] Vinceman: perhaps I misunderstood your first question [22:30] I have a erreor with the lastest version of eclipse [22:30] Another thing which is hugely annoying is that you have to configure proxies on a per application basis. [22:30] I'm using windowmaker with Ubuntu...and, for some reason, it periodically writes a new menu file (/etc/X11/Windowmaker/menu.hook)...for reasons I can't determine. [22:30] And I have to delete it and restart X [22:30] "Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character" [22:30] E.g. thunderbird doesn't use the default gnome proxy settings, IIRC. [22:30] how can i get root access on my username? [22:30] some one have an idea? [22:30] Slart I get some link than a very unwanted redirect and I can't get back to the old link [22:31] I don't suppose any of you would have any clue as to why this is and how I can stop it from happening? [22:31] Server_Side: su? [22:31] Vinceman: then it's probably a redirect done by something else.. javascript probably [22:31] ! root | Server_Side [22:31] Server_Side: 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 [22:31] i want to access the www dir and write to it etc, how do i change dir permisopns [22:31] JoAnneThrax: did you try in #windowmaker? [22:32] You can create a root user easily in Ubuntu. Google knows. [22:32] pozic: you can still connect to it manually when you need it [22:32] Vinceman: the http redirect is done before any part of the webpage is loaded afaik.. so there isn't a page before the redirect.. [22:32] ctmjr: yes, but a computer is there to do computable things. [22:32] ctmjr: otherwise it is just a bureaucratic machine. [22:32] (and thus useless) [22:33] pozic: there is a root user already in ubuntu.. perhaps you mean a user in the admin group? ie one that can use sudo with all commands? [22:33] LexLuth0r: You can (and should) make backups. See http://maketecheasier.com/time-machine-for-ubuntu-try-timevault-and-flyback/2008/03/07 [22:33] Server_Side: be careful with changing permissions, but you do it with "sudo chmod something" read chmod --help [22:33] is there any swede that could translate "Content Management" to swedish?

[22:35] maybe you're right.. I thought i saw a flash but on second view.. [22:35] I have a few questions [22:35] how can you retrieve root password if forgotten? [22:35] both in seamonkey and firefox I don't see it anymore [22:35] happosade: it is an approximation of random numbers. [22:35] Server_Side: I don't think you can retrieve *any* passwords.. you can set new ones using a live cd or recovery console though [22:35] Server_Side: you can't retrieve it, in general. You *can* reset it to something new, though... [22:35] anyone know what the network support is for a Linksys WPC300N is under Ubuntu?

[23:32] hello, does anyone know if iTunes or comparable app is available for ppc xubuntu? [23:33] UnholyLessons: but there likely is bugs, and i would be careful as you want syncing capabilities [23:33] Hello. I'm using Ubuntu w/ Gnome for the first time. How can I browse the clipboard history? [23:33] sounds like the GNOME guidelines were written by lazy programmers who didn't want to have to program Cancel functionality into every dialog. that's pretty lame. [23:33] rootlinuxusr: i believe gnome will parse every file and check for the preview capabilities as it supports them [23:33] desktop widget software? [23:34] Unholy lessons try gtkpod or HIPO [23:34] what about games like WorldofWarcraft of Runes of Magic? [23:34] rootlinuxusr: *nautilus [23:34] hi all. I have specific problem with sound. seems that I can't have many applications running sound at the same time. for Ex Rythmbox or skype or firefox flash etc [23:34] So no specific format as to what image names or formats? [23:34] !appdb | UnholyLessons [23:34] UnholyLessons: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [23:34] Server_Side: care to mbe more specific? [23:34] Can I Write [23:34] Dr_Willis: desktop widget application, g desklets is it? [23:35] rootlinuxusr: try changing one of your files to no extension, move it to a new directory and check if nautilus still shows it [23:35] Server_Side: i know of at least 3 others... google widgets, opera, and a few more... [23:35] Can I write two lines [23:35] Instead of one ? [23:35] Oh it still shows, but I'd like it to show as a preview before I even enter the folder. [23:35] kernel: yes [23:35] hey guys [23:35] Kernel_n00b: [23:35] may be [23:35] . === Rapt0rJezuz is now known as rapt0rjezuz [23:35] fuck this stupid OS. No cancelling is the stupidest thing I ever heard of. I was just trying it because it came with my netbook anyway. [23:36] I really need some help with my USB mouse [23:36] is anyone familiar with gnomenu? [23:36] Wow.. giveing up because of a wallpaper settings dialog..... how cool. [23:36] My problem is that my USB mouse freezes, this is apparently a common bug in Ubuntu [23:36] so is there a fix? [23:36] !menu [23:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about menu [23:36] wow, didn't know the lack of cancelling could really affect someone [23:36] must be a mac-fag [23:37] sorry, that was low... [23:37] any ideas for a decent "gnome do" like app for kde ? [23:37] i installed ubuntu 9.04 with netinstall cd...did the advanced use install....gave root access....now i cant open package manager or anything.....Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic as user root. The underlying authorization mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact the system administrator......but in terminal i can use su...password [23:37] avant? [23:37] wat was wbdl's prob ? [23:37] musikgoat|main: most people never even notice how gnome has things streamlined.. and i belive OS-X does the same sort of gui design. [23:38] linxeh: wants somthing to be perfect.. as in 'exactly how he thinks things should be perfect' i guess [23:38] set in his ways [23:38] he was angry that linux lets him do what he wants [23:38] I really really need help with this USB mouse freeze bug... nobody knows how to fix this? [23:38] FloridaGuy: what do you mean gave root access? [23:38] linxeh: point out that gnome has no 'settings' at all for the Screen saver.. and he would proberly burn his PC. [23:38] I just read up - I think I agree with him - from a human factors perspsective both gnome and KDE are attrocious [23:38] but who cares :-) [23:38] linxeh: take it up with the gnome gui developers.. they are only human. [23:38] !info policykit | FloridaGuy [23:38] FloridaGuy: policykit (source: policykit): framework for managing administrative policies and privileges. In component main, is optional. Version 0.9-2ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 62 kB, installed size 408 kB [23:39] yoyoned, like mandriva ...fedora...suse... [23:39] Dr_Willis: they don't want to know :) [23:39] linxeh: ive seen similer isses with all os's i have ever used. [23:39] linxeh: yep. When in doubt 'take it out' is the gnome mantra [23:39] is iTunes availabe for ppc xubuntu? [23:39] FloridaGuy: how did you enable root access [23:40] Dr_Willis actually it isn't the OS at fault...I don't have those problems in xfce [23:40] yoyoned, the advanced user install on the netinstall cd asked if i wanted root [23:40] Dr_Willis: as it should be - but too often thats not done in an aesthetic way. [23:40] in Midori, how to open a link that gets highlighted by inline search? (like with in firefox) [23:40] hi all. I have specific problem with sound. seems that I can't have many applications running sound at the same time. for Ex Rythmbox or skype or firefox flash etc [23:40] stefg, i dident get that [23:40] hello all [23:40] FloridaGuy: I didn't know that was there, so can you execute synaptic as root? [23:40] ianMac: it isnt available for ubuntu at all (it has to be run via wine on x86*) [23:40] FloridaGuy: ubuntu is geared towards having no root password. root access for gui apps like synaptic is governed by polickit and policykit-gnome. [23:40] question [23:40] th0r: i doubt that user would have differenciated the desktop manager to the OS [23:41] how do I replace files in a kernel sourse [23:41] source* [23:41] th0r: your lappy has broadcom wireless? does it work alright? [23:41] olid: can't you use gnome-do in kde? check launchy or kupfer (the latter in development but leightweight and usable) [23:41] What's the gui version of clamav? [23:41] yoyoned, i guess i had to install xchat that way [23:41] musikgoat|main: yeah, I agree with that. But the problems he had were all the fault of the desktop, and linux is the only os I know of that lets you change THAT [23:42] VCoolio: thanks i will play with it [23:42] stefg, ok so what do i do here...to get normal control back [23:42] :( so I can't sync my iPhone… is there an a comparable app for the iPhone? [23:42] Anyone got bluetooth working successfully on an Acer Aspire One (Jaunty)? [23:42] lakotajames: the broadcom worked out of the box, to my surprise. Also to my surprise the atheros external that I use didn't [23:42] anyone [23:42] 'problems because one does not know how to use the tools' are they really problems? :) [23:42] i got an intel wifi link 5100 agn [23:42] lakotajames: but it came right up when I installed ndiswrapper [23:42] FloridaGuy: install these packages, forget about root passwords on the Desktop [23:42] cant get it to read [23:42] only showing wired [23:43] ianMac: as long as its not a 3gs http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=16848 [23:43] Ubuntu really doesn't like people with real root access. if you cant run synaptic as a regular user the problem is likely sudo [23:43] lakotajames: the acer does have ati video...but since I am not into gaming it works well enough [23:43] !sudo:FloridaGuy: [23:43] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:43] ianMac: but someone earlier reported trouble getting it to work [23:43] !root | FloridaGuy [23:43] FloridaGuy: 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 [23:43] lakotajames: I can get compiz working...but don't want it. Use xfce and can get its compositor working...but don't use that either [23:43] cool I'll try it out, thnx [23:44] can anyone help [23:44] i cant get backtrack 4 to read my wireless [23:44] oh, ok. Thanks th0r. I like teh games, though, so. Probably won't get it [23:44] only my 5th day using linux [23:44] th0r: is compositing all you want? you can use metacity as a compositor .. or you can use xcompmgr [23:44] lakotajames: if you want games you definitely should look for nvidia video [23:45] ok meeting time back later, thansk for the assisntance guys, [23:45] moymoy: no...I dont use it....can get it in xfce if I want or gnome...but don't want to waste the resources [23:45] how can i set up directx in wine [23:45] musikgoat|main: does wine work on ppc? [23:45] no one knows? [23:45] Alright. thanks, th0r === root is now known as Guest27549 [23:45] janisozaur: not sure, check in #winehq [23:45] !wireless|Rick [23:45] Rick: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [23:46] i installed directx in wine but when i try to play my game it wont load up it doesnt do anything is there a way i need to set it up [23:46] i got that [23:46] Ient backtrack some ubuntu variant? [23:46] what it comes down to in [23:46] hello [23:46] Rick: backtrack is not supported here ask in #remote-exploit channel [23:46] it says to download 3 files and replace them in my kernel [23:46] sorry [23:46] hello, I have a prob. running intrepid 8.10 and just did a update yesterday. Now whenever I suspend,do a screensaver lockout,I cannot log back in, ie my password will not work also now I don't have sound. In order to fix this I have to reboot.any clues? [23:46] thought it might be the sme [23:47] linux base [23:47] not on topic but i had great luck with the experimental 3d on virtualbox [23:47] good enough to run most stuff [23:47] Backtrack4 isent even ubuntu based.. its debian based. [23:47] says ubuntu [23:47] idk [23:47] wiki page here says Debian [23:47] is there a way to set up directx on wine when i try to run a game it wont load up [23:47] like i said i dont use linux [23:48] paul_: you might try using the earlier version of the kernel...the latest kernel killed my internal wifi card [23:48] Rick: they like to keep it all ubuntu in here as you can see there are alot of people here [23:48] just trying to learn as of 5 days ago [23:48] Rick: time to spend some time learning linux fundamentals i guess. crawl, walk, run, FLY... :) [23:48] yup [23:48] Rick I don't want to seem rude, but you will get much better help in #remot-exploit [23:48] Rick: check the linux documentation project...tldp.org [23:49] Xodiac13: #winehq [23:49] sorry trying to figure out how to change to there lol [23:49] william56: okay [23:49] /join #xhannelname Rick [23:49] question: how can I limit a user to be able to only run one command and no others? [23:49] how do i start my sql? [23:49] !irc|Rick [23:49] Rick: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [23:49] disconnect [23:50] MidasManchu: the bash shell has a 'restricted' mode (rbash) you can use to lock down a user VERY tightly. [23:50] MidasManchu: depending on exactly what you want to do. that may or may not be what you need. [23:50] uys can someone help i can get 64 bit to install on my pc [23:51] Dr_Willis, I'm creating an rsync backup account with an rsa pass file on my desktop. Since that pass file has no password, I want to limit what my backup account can do to to just rsync [23:51] MidasManchu: change their path to only ~/bin and simlink the command the the bin directory in their home directory [23:51] How do I change default fonts? [23:51] rootlinuxusr: default fonts for what? The gnome settings tool has a 'fonts' setting tool. [23:52] MidasManchu: you will still need a shell to run that... so that makes already 2 commands :-) [23:52] stefg, policykit and policykit-gnome....are already installed [23:52] bah. duh huh. Found it. thanks. [23:52] can anyone help plz [23:52] thanks, I'll give the suggestions a try [23:52] FloridaGuy: and gksudo as well ? [23:53] TannerS_Laptop: tell the channel exactly what it is doing and not doiong. [23:53] hey, i'm installing an old version of ubuntu (definitely needs a dist upgrade) on some pc, and i want to copy all the packages from this pc (latest version ubuntu stuff) to it and use them when upgrading. can anyone give me direction on doing this? [23:53] when i ssh in and press the HOME key i get a tilde instead of the cursor going to the beginning of the line. CTRL+A works tho. how do i fix that? [23:54] jeanrussou: using what program to ssh in? [23:54] Dr_Willis trying to install ubuntu 64 bit, but getting tons and tons of lines of read errors, im pretty sure my pc supports 64 bit i mean i have a 64 bit cpu [23:54] lem [23:54] jeanrussou: what 'terminal' program. console? xterm, gnome-terminal? Putty? [23:54] TannerS_Laptop: read errors - sounds like a badly burnt cd to me. I tend to make bootable usbflash disks to install from these days. [23:55] william56: look in /var/cache/apt/archives [23:55] Dr_willis im almost 99.9 sure its not the cd, it was ran slow and got verified and loads up, but during install 64 bit wont work but 32 does [23:55] stefg: will copying them from the updated computer to the other one and then running apt-get upgrade work? [23:55] Dr_Willis: i am using urxvt, but fyi it doesn't happen always only on some servers i ssh into. echo $TERM = 'xterm' [23:55] stefg, you mean gksu [23:56] TannerS_Laptop: you DO have a 64bit cpu? [23:56] william56: I think that with --no-download ? [23:56] TannerS_Laptop: what cpu do you have? [23:56] elo [23:56] AMD athlon 64 bit x2 3800+ [23:56] william56: mostly ... there might be some meta- and transitional packages, but whatever is already in the cache won't be d/l'd again [23:56] TannerS_Laptop: you sure you are using the 64bit iso? [23:57] jeanrussou: yea sounds like a TERM setting thats not correct. could try vt100, or you could try 'screen' on the machines. that seems to fix many 'quirks' for me. [23:57] cool. thanks, stefg and rootlinuxusr [23:57] olid possitive just downloaded and burned it off site [23:57] musikgoat | main I have put the error file in pastebin, thanks for the tip, it was most helpful. If anyone here has their xmodmap working, I can sure use some help [23:57] czy ktos mowi tu po polsku? [23:57] I have specific problem with sound. seems that I can't have many applications running sound at the same time. for Ex Rythmbox or skype or firefox flash etc [23:57] TannerS_Laptop: you should reboot and do a media check just for kicks [23:57] Okay, I'm stuck. I try to install pygtk2.8.6, but I dont get how to compile it. "./configure --prefix=" gives "bash: syntax error near unexpected token 'newline'" [23:58] olid how do i do that [23:58] Anyone got bluetooth working successfully on an Acer Aspire One (Jaunty)? [23:58] xmodmap is complaing about permissions, and not finding files. [23:58] h4f1: install either pulse audio or esound [23:58] hmm did a driver update on 9.04 using nvidias installer 185.x and now I get this error: Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.. what should I do. [23:58] TannerS_Laptop: its an option at boot time, i think it says "check media for consistancy" [23:58] civixier: you dont use you give it a path to 'install to' like /usr/local [23:58] th0r what's best [23:59] h4f1: I like esound, but pulse is apparently the wave of the future [23:59] stefg, i can find gksu in repo...no gksudo [23:59] olid, ill try it, but fist need to restore grub, my pc reinstaled windows over writting it ut trying out the 64 bit cd gves me errors lol [23:59] The thing is, it's asking for permissionns on files that aren't there [23:59] th0r: I don't even know what I am using. I know that I am using alsa [23:59] oh, http://paste.ubuntu.com/234129/ is the pastebin URL [23:59] h4f1: I don't think pulse installs by default. Check and see...if pulse is not installed yet, install esound...it is the easy way to go
