[00:00] Name141: i love lxde, i use it on all my systems with an x server [00:00] Dr_Willis: Well, I can imagine all the features to make it useful. I'd love to build it myself but I don't even know where to begin. I'm just starting to learn Python, which seems promising, but obviously not capable of a modification of the kernel / X server on the level I'm thinking. [00:00] Bucky: thanks...thought I tried that...brb [00:00] uhm, i'm on Hardy, not using network manager but simply /etc/network/interface, with a card that gets identified as RT2500 (and driven by the wlan0 + wmaster0 combo0). i'm trying to make it connect to an ad-hoc network, but it'll refuse to set mode from interface. clues why? [00:00] sp0: it is mainly C afaik, with some machine code [00:00] TwoToneSpirit: 'crawl, walk, run' Plus i bet theres proberly allready something similer - but im vague on the details of what you want. :) [00:00] ActionParsnip: I'm not expecting much from it. It works perfect, just slow due to age. I was gonna keep it so my niece can do her homework with like openoffice and firefox. [00:00] s; [00:00] s; [00:00] spO: Which one? [00:01] spO: No, the installer is written in Python. [00:01] Maybe load up her MP3 player if it's supported [00:01] Name141: if you want fast, install swiftfox or kazehakase [00:01] * bruce89 coughs * epiphany-webkit * [00:01] spO: There is an alternative installer CD, which uses the text based debian installer. [00:02] LjL: Oh hi! [00:02] ActionParsnip: I never heard of Swiftfox.. Is it like firefox just actually runs worth a (Blank) in linux [00:02] jpds: hi [00:02] FireFox failed to run as good as Windows on this system even [00:02] Name141: it's just Fx with different compiler flags [00:02] Name141: yeah its slimmed down and responsive rather than bloated and slow [00:02] anyone try the Nvidia 190.16 beta drivers yet?

[00:03] Name141: theres firepup for 32bit too [00:03] Is there still a problem with Suns Java on jaunty 64bit? [00:03] guys, i am trying to compile evolution, the newest release, and i tried apt-get build-dep and it didnt help, it asks for libraries i can't find over google any idea ? if you need the error ./configure please ask for it i'll paste it. [00:03] athough the main problem with Fx is Gecko, which is used by Galeon also [00:03] ActionParsnip: firepup sounds like one of those distros based on PuppyLinux ? [00:04] sebsebseb: it is. [00:04] deany: I have a script to install native 64bit java if you want? [00:04] bruce89: Galeon is still pretty good, just maybe webkit is more standards complaint these days [00:04] sebsebseb: no its a cut down fast gecko based browser [00:04] deany: what problem ? [00:04] Gecko is EOL [00:04] ActionParsnip, nah, icedtea will do.. thought sun would have it sorted by now... geez [00:04] oops [00:04] Galeon is EOL [00:04] deany: it is, want the script [00:04] don't think so [00:04] windows desktop os and windows server os allow users to click on folders/directories and share them throughout one's own workgroup network, and users on other computers within that workgroup can easily mount those directories.... does ubuntu allow mounting across oses.... like can i mount networked directories on ubuntu from windows [00:04] well, it's not developed any more [00:05] deany: http://pastebin.com/f1997c744 [00:05] deany: the only thing i can think of is the lack of a firefox plugin... all the rest just work the same as in 32 bit [00:05] spO: you can use samba and 'share' directories with windows - and back and forth.. yes. [00:05] !samba | spO [00:05] spO: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [00:05] Armageddon: you need a ton of dev packages apt-get build-dep evolution [00:05] so, he only needs it for FF plugin [00:06] so might as well use icedtea [00:06] deany: that installs native 64bit sun java [00:06] ok , thx [00:06] windows also has remote desktop connection, so i can acccess a remote desktop from another windows desktop.... does ubuntu have something like this... ie , something more gui like and not just a shell account [00:06] spO: VNC [00:06] how long are you guys going to feed this troll? [00:06] ActionParsnip: why twe script? sudo aptitude install sun-java6-* is enough ;P [00:07] sp0: you can use rdesktop to connect to mstsc [00:07] !vnc | spO [00:07] spO: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [00:07] spO: or you can install 'xming' on windows, and ssh to the linux box. and run linux gui apps on the windows machine. :) [00:07] erUSUL: does that install 64bit java on 64bit systems, or does it install 32bit with nspluginwrapper? [00:07] sp0: its rare to need a full desktop [00:07] so if i run rdesktop on my ubuntu box, then i can use remote desktop on my windows box and i can control a ubuntu desktop environemnt... IE, not just a shell [00:08] spO: Yes. [00:08] well, for most people its useless without working FF plugin [00:08] hi folks, my microphone works, but i cannot record. i made sure all the volumes were up. [00:08] ActionParsnip: nspluginwrapper is only needed for the firefox plugin and java is much more than just that plugin... [00:08] spO: thers several ways to get gui remote control of a linux machine. :) vnc is one, [00:08] icedtea-plugin [00:08] ActionParsnip: in 64 bit ubuntu there is no package for the java sun plugin afaik [00:08] erUSUL: all i know is that it works and gives awesmoe java performance [00:08] erUSUL: its a tar file at java.com [00:09] can ubuntu play movie files that are on a ntfs ? [00:09] sp0: remote access can be a tonne more graceful than viewing the whole desktop, many apps have web interfaces which mipact the network less [00:09] i guess so huh [00:09] I'm having issues downloading MIME digest emails via IMAP in Evolution. The digest itself gets downloaded, but the emails in it consist of only the headers. How can I force Evolution to download the whole email? [00:09] ActionParsnip: ok fair enough [00:10] sp0: the kernel can read ntfs natively, it can write to ntfs (best effort) using ntfs-3g [00:10] spO: yes they can play video files.. you can have full access to ntfs filesystems [00:10] Some of the MIME digest emails do get downloaded, seemingly at random, but most do not O__o [00:11] too bad i cannot install ubuntu using just ntfs instead of whatever fs it uses [00:11] yikes [00:11] sp0: ext3 [00:11] sp0: you can resize ntfs to make room for ubuntu] [00:11] spO: NTFS is pretty bad compared to Linux file systems :) [00:11] !dualboot | sp0 [00:11] sp0: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [00:11] spO: err.. ext3/4 is better then ntfs in manyw ays. :) if you want to test ubuntu out. try it in 'virtualbox' on a windows machine [00:11] Amd Athlon64 X2 5600+ + 2gb DDR2 RAM + 800gb HDD = 49 euro monthly [00:12] Evet: peddle elsewhere, this is not the channel for it [00:12] hi folks, my microphone works, but i cannot record. i made sure all the volumes were up. i am using Ubuntu 9.04 [00:12] Dr_Willis: they are not 'better'.

[00:15] sp0: instead of askng in a channel, why dont you do a tonne of research online. The internet has far more knowledge than 1300 users in an irc channel [00:15] sp0: Debian is nice [00:15] spO: why slackware.. why ask why. :) it was decided to use debian as the base.

[00:35] ActionParsnip: from what i read of backtrack4 most users in here asking about it.. really should not be using it.. :P [00:35] dr_willis, what are the other two? [00:36] ShawnC: if yuo run: gksudo gedit /etc/hosts does dyllan-desktop resolve to 127.0.0.1 [00:36] ActionParsnip, what version? [00:36] spO: X forwarding via xdmcp , and ssh X forwarding.. if that means anything to you. [00:36] so my laptop speakers just quit working but the headphones still give sound...?????? [00:36] deany: 1.6.0 [00:36] got 9.04 [00:37] I'm having this error when trying to uninstall Evolution, any ideas ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/235523/ [00:37] on a acer [00:37] ActionParsnip, what file version [00:37] can ubuntu read xps files by default? [00:37] I cant see one [00:37] outy: press alt+f2 and type gconf-editor, then expand apps, nautilus, then click desktop. check the box beside home_icon_visible [00:37] user__: no [00:37] ActionParsnip: yes it does. [00:37] any tips? [00:37] linux-amd64-what? [00:37] ShawnC: and in hostname is it dyllan-desktop too? [00:38] deany: what file version of what? [00:38] outy: theres also a 'unsupported/unofficial' tool called 'ubuntu tweak' that lets you easially change those kind of settings. [00:38] hey guys [00:38] why do you guys like ubuntu more than freebsd? [00:38] sp0: i dont like it more, i like it equally [00:38] ActionParsnip, java6 bin? [00:38] anyone really good regarding external usb storage issues? [00:38] spO: because ubuntu is linux.. and freebsd is bsd. [00:38] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/m2221ab64 [00:38] Who can help me with sound issues in 9.04?? [00:38] deany: firefox says 1.6.0 [00:38] spO: everything has its own use and purpose [00:38] sp0: better hardware support, better prebuilt system [00:38] spO the ubuntu mascot is much cooler than the FreeBSD one [00:39] I'm having this error when trying to uninstall Evolution, any ideas ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/235523/ [00:39] sp0: FreebSD systsm is harder to use OTB, requires more setup [00:39] any1 knows how can i format a drive to ntfs with shell commands ? [00:39] guys is ubuntu 9.04 better then linuxmint? [00:39] !better [00:39] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [00:39] bucky: uhmm you mean Tux? which is the mascot for Linux not Ubuntu [00:39] is it possible to be done with fdisk ? [00:39] ActionParsnip: any thoughts? [00:39] bucky: Tux the Linux penguin [00:39] if you want everything pre installed linux is the way to go [00:39] how do you resume after suspending ubuntu? [00:39] ShawnC: your /etc/hosts is broken, it says 27.0.0.1 rather than 127.0.0.1 [00:39] mowsmek, an IT guy told me that mint is superior to ubuntu, but I could not get mint to work right [00:39] but you won't get the latest kernel [00:39] ah [00:39] can someone recommend a good font/size, i hate my current font, esp for terminal takes up to muhc space [00:40] should i nano /etc/hosts [00:40] ?? [00:40] are there any easy ways to add xps viewing abilitys to ubuntu? [00:40] it only updates the kernel periodically [00:40] ShawnC: you'll need sudo for that [00:40] hello - I have ubuntu jaunty installed on my laptop and it's running great; BUT I just used gparted to remove all other partitions from my HD (windows and hardy heron). Now I am getting an error with my grub when I boot - can anyone help me with this? [00:40] fission61: set the size how you like.. and try various fonts.. its all a personal taste thing. [00:40] sebsebseb: isn't tux cooler than the devil? [00:40] mowsmek, I dont know what went wrong, but everytime I rebooted, I had to repair packages [00:40] user__: I don't think there is [00:40] msds1502: if it helps suspend never worked for me until I installed the correct video drivers [00:40] so I dumped it and went back to ubuntu [00:40] ActionParsnip, am i not able to sudo? [00:40] fission61: my wife sets the fonts where they are liek an Inch tall. :) [00:40] laymansnerd: you dont need a new kernel if all hardware is working ok [00:40] Hello any1 might know how can i format a drive to ntfs using shell ? [00:40] hmm well i am looking for a good terminal setting [00:40] this is true [00:40] ShawnC: yes, you will NEED to sudo to get write access [00:40] help again... i have this line "wine CFFiles.exe /e " wich runs without problems on my console... but when i try to to do it with a nautilus script: "wine CFFiles.exe /e $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS", it doesn't work.... i tried this in the same script "gedit $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS" and it works, so what is the problem?? [00:40] donnybrasco: are you using multiple hard drives? [00:41] i know ActionParsnip [00:41] bsd is not much different than linux [00:41] i don';t see where the 27.0.0.1 is though? === bleeter_ is now known as bleeter [00:41] ShawnC: top of the file reads: 27.0.0.1        localhost [00:41] user__:http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=321868 [00:41] sp0 bsd is more unix based right? [00:41] spO that's because linux is a unix clone [00:41] donnybrasco, there's a command to autoconfig grub, but I can't remember [00:41] msds: no ... well, I have an external hd with everything I wanted backed up on it, but just the one on my laptop [00:41] i'm having problem with soundcards [00:41] oh [00:41] msds: oh - hey, I think it was you that helped me earlier [00:41] that was a pasting mistake [00:41] donnybrasco, it's something like "sudo grub-autoconfigure", but I don't think that's it [00:41] sp0: bsd is hugely different to linux [00:42] it's accually 127.0.0.1 [00:42] hi Arch linux vs Ubuntu what is the best ? [00:42] Spykemcc: Arch [00:42] Guys, can anyone help with Evolution ? [00:42] ShawnC: you will want to delete the '.Auto' from the hosts file for your host name [00:42] Hello any1 might know how can i format a drive to ntfs using shell ? [00:42] donnybrasco: was the external hooked up when you installed Ubuntu? [00:42] Spykemcc: use what ever one you like.. and i dumped arch a few months ago and went back to Ubuntu. [00:42] Spykemcc: neither is best, nor worst [00:42] !ot | spO [00:42] msds: yeah - it's been hooked up the entire time - I didn't touch it with gparted though [00:42] spO: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [00:42] ok [00:43] albdum: apt-cache search ntfs | grep tool [00:43] Spykemcc: differnt design 'goals' go read the arch docs to learn their design criteria/demands/goals.. thats the 'ARCH' way [00:43] albdum: is it dual boot.. it's better to use windows to format it if you want to access it from both [00:43] Spykemcc: which is better, coke or pepsi? [00:43] What's better, Sega or Nintendo? [00:43] Spykemcc: highlights how meaningless the whole "best" nonesense is [00:43] (remember that one?) [00:43] ActionParsnip: my wife will not touch coke its pepsi or nothing for her. :) [00:43] Spykemcc: and Gentoo is better than Arch [00:43] Dr_Willis: exactly [00:44] we all know that Tiny Core Linux is the best.. anyway :P [00:44] coke and pepsi are like dicks and vaginas... i strongly prefer one but my friend says they taste the same [00:44] bucky: i'd agree but I can name people who disagree [00:44] msds: I'm currently booted up on the live cd and I have full access to my jaunty filesystem in the file browser [00:44] VCoolio: help again... i have this line "wine CFFiles.exe /e " wich runs without problems on my console... but when i try to to do it with a nautilus script: "wine CFFiles.exe /e $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS", it doesn't work.... i tried this in the same script "gedit $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS" and it works, so what is the problem?? [00:44] i must format it from ubuntu server... :( but i need the format to be ntfs [00:44] ActionParsnip: help... i have this line "wine CFFiles.exe /e " wich runs without problems on my console... but when i try to to do it with a nautilus script: "wine CFFiles.exe /e $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS", it doesn't work.... i tried this in the same script "gedit $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS" and it works, so what is the problem?? [00:44] Spykemcc: basically, its a moot question [00:44] usr229: no idea [00:44] usr229: why did you ask me? [00:44] albdum: mkfs.ntfs can do that... [00:44] Is there a way to have 'make' automatically run when certain files are changed? [00:45] Spykemcc: if you want five different answers from 1500 people in an irc channel then use ubuntu [00:45] huh ActionParsnip? [00:45] ActionParsnip: random selection [00:45] can some on help me with chatzilla [00:45] Dr_Willis : thnx m8 any additional packages required? [00:45] i want to join a diffrent network [00:45] donnybrasco: Try using SuperGrubDisk to restore GRUB. there are a couple options here too: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto#Backup,%20Repairing%20and%20Reinstalling%20GRUB [00:45] mikexstudios: that is not making a lot of sence.. you want somthign to auto-recompile? [00:45] albdum: proberly but no idea what. [00:45] Dr_Willis: Yes [00:45] mikexstudios: what are you trying to do? [00:45] msds1502: help... i have this line "wine CFFiles.exe /e " wich runs without problems on my console... but when i try to to do it with a nautilus script: "wine CFFiles.exe /e $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS", it doesn't work.... i tried this in the same script "gedit $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS" and it works, so what is the problem?? [00:45] hi all [00:45] ActionParsnip, why doesnt FF work with it then if that script is only copying over the file to FF plugins folder? [00:45] ok THnx [00:45] ShawnC: instead of dyllan-desktop.Auto linksys (default) have it say dyllan-desktop on its own [00:46] mikexstudios: there are some various 'file watcher' tools that can do actions when somthing changes.. but ive never used them [00:46] ActionParsnip, whats the sun-java6-plugin all about? [00:46] I'm stuck with a problem, doing a simple apt-get upgrade from 8.10 - put me on a 9.04 version. [00:46] msds: thanks, checking that out now [00:46] bruce89: I'm doing some GUI work that requires a lot of pixel placement stuff. So I'm tired to running 'make' each time I change some parameters in source. [00:46] It also changed my sources list [00:46] and I'm trying to figure out how to proceed. [00:46] Dr_Willis: Thanks, I'll look into them. [00:46] Should I do a dist-upgrade,or a do-release-upgrade? [00:46] ok [00:46] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7694665 <-- help me with my ssh problem please :) [00:46] deany: afaik, its a 32bit version. the 64bit script works great for me [00:46] this is goin great.. gettin a mate over to ubuntu and he`s having hurdles from start [00:46] ugh [00:46] mikexstudios: the whole point of makefiles is to recompile files when they are changed [00:47] usr229: i have no idea on how to help [00:47] ActionParsnip, why isnt it getting a 64bit version from repo tho? [00:47] bruce89: Yes, but I want it to do that automatically once the files are changed without me typing 'make'. [00:47] usr229: don't know actually, maybe has to do with wine or the / character, try to put \ before that so it looks like \/ [00:47] deany: it gets the file from the java website afaik [00:47] donnybrasco: I gave you the wrong link. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows should work better [00:47] mikexstudios: I don't think there's such a thing [00:47] hmm, ideas anyone? [00:48] deany, it downloads: http://www.java.net/download/jdk6/6u12/promoted/b03/binaries/jre-6u12-ea-bin-b03-linux-amd64-22_dec_2008.bin [00:48] msds: ok [00:48] what is the command line to uninstall wine in terminal [00:49] ActionParsnip, I know, but its old [00:49] DougM: apt-get remove wine? [00:49] ActionParsnip, i`m tryin to find the link to the newest file, to replace in script [00:49] hmm, so does a apt-get upgrade actually change souces.list? [00:49] I always thought it wouldnt? [00:50] i knew I`d get the "all this for java its 2 clicks in windows" speech [00:50] vIkSiT: No. It just updates the packages that are installed to the latest versions. [00:50] th0r: thanks.. sorry im really new to linux [00:50] deany: if you do, please let me know and i'll update my own [00:50] I'm having this error when trying to remove Evolution, any ideas ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/235523/ [00:50] Flannel, indeed. so what command would end up changing the sources.list? [00:50] vIkSiT: Surely it has to take into account the repositories of your new version? [00:50] DougM: sudo apt-get --purge remove wine; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [00:50] vIkSiT: No commands do. Well, update-manager does. [00:50] Im running a server only - no X, so I guess that wouldn't matter [00:50] DougM: if you also delete ~/.wine [00:50] vIkSiT: Are you trying to upgrade a version of Ubuntu? [00:51] ActionParsnip: you must REALLY want to get rid of wine! [00:51] DougM: then it will also remove the old config [00:51] Tr1n, oh you mean that even an upgrade would replace the repo URLs with the latest packages .. even if the version remains the same? [00:51] Flannel, I'm trying not to. Let me explain.. [00:51] th0r: just gets rid of the old configs [00:51] I was trying to install a package for python, which installed 2.6 as well as 2.5 for me. === jeiworth_ is now known as jeiworth [00:51] Now, trying to install python-profiler gives me an error message: [00:52] python-profiler: Depends: python (< 2.6) but 2.6.2-0ubuntu1 is to be installed [00:52] ActionParsnip I can't sudo to nano the file... [00:52] Flannel, Tr1n - so I'm confused about what I should do here. [00:52] I already ahve python 2.6 installed - but seem to be stuck in some dependnecy problem [00:52] firefox crashing with flash [00:52] vIkSiT: I think you may be confusing apt-get update, which updates the packages in the repo, and apt-get upgrade which upgrades your OS [00:53] vIkSiT: what version of Ubuntu are you running? [00:53] ShawnC: sudo nano /etc/hosts === MrZx is now known as Mr [00:53] Tr1n, well, I know the difference - I used update, and then upgrade. [00:53] i did that [00:53] it doesn't work say's can't resolve dyllan-desktop [00:53] ActionParsnip ^ [00:53] Flannel, I _was_ on hardy - but now I seem to be on jaunty. [00:53] how would I check? [00:53] !hostname | ShawnC [00:53] ShawnC: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at System > Administration > Networking on the "General" tab === Mr is now known as Guest10130 [00:53] vIkSiT: lsb_release -a [00:53] sigh, ok - its Jaunty [00:54] vIkSiT: also, pastebin your sources.list (and anyting in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [00:54] so somehow, I got upgraded without wanting to. [00:54] I am trying to add a Canon MP620 printer to Ubuntu, it is on the network as 192.168.1.102. I don't see this printer listed in Ubuntu anywhere, how can I add it? [00:54] doing. [00:54] ShawnC: then yu will need to boot to livecd to change the file, you have screwed to hostname resolve to localhost so you will get issues [00:54] vIkSiT: http://www.aboutdebian.com/packages.htm may help you understand === Guest10130 is now known as Zx [00:54] Tr1n, checking that. [00:55] Flannel, http://pastebin.com/de927e49 [00:55] JohnTeddy: I think you can add it via cups...open a browser to localhost:631 === Zx is now known as MRZxSpectrum [00:55] Tr1n, ah yes, I already know how to use them. My impression alwasy was that - update - updates package server repo lists, and upgrae downloads and installs the new, updated packages. [00:55] How do I instruct a script to run a job as another user? [00:55] I want a startup script to run a program as some user [00:56] my hunch is that now I'm stuck in limbo between 8.10 and 9.04 [00:56] twas: the 'su' command i think can do that. some how. [00:56] Hello, I got "relay access denied" when trying to send mail from localhost with postfix, why ? [00:56] hey my desktop background is kinda seethrough so that i can see the other sides of the cube, how do i stop that ? [00:56] vIkSiT: Did you modify your sources.list by hand? or how were you trying to install python 2.6? [00:56] my computer has been freezing up frequently as of late (requiring a full power-cycle to recover.) In /var/log/messages, before the freeze it's always several hundred lines looking like this: "rt_ioctl_giwscan. 13(13) BSS returned, data->length = 1251", but I don't know what to do. [00:56] Flannel, no modifications at all. [00:56] Flannel, apt-get install python [00:56] thats it. [00:57] I dont actually know how to install using apt any other way.. [00:57] i can telnet to an ubuntu box using a blackberry or palm os pda? [00:57] vIkSiT: well, python should've already been installed. [00:57] sp0: ssh is better [00:57] When a machine freezes, how does one debug it? [00:57] sp0: telnet is unencrypted [00:57] pinkey: connect via ssh and run dmesg [00:57] Flannel, yes. what happened was - I had py2.5 - and wantd to install a different version of apache (mpm worker) - which had some dependencies. It didn't work for me, so I removed it and installed the original apache. [00:58] ok now i am having a huge problem, gnome is not launching :) [00:58] how do i display folders that require sudo permissions from File Browser [00:58] now this had some dependency, since i had run apt-get update before. [00:58] th0r: ipp or http? [00:58] and it went and installed 2.6 [00:58] (and ubuntu/dev allow both to co exist) [00:58] deb* [00:58] JohnTeddy: http://localhost:631 [00:58] so far every question spO has asked about linux fetures have been a 'yes' :) [00:58] th0r: no I know, my canon printer, is it http or ipp? [00:58] vIkSiT: ah! Ok. I see your problem. You have hardy multiverse enabled (lines 26-29 on that paste) change those to jaunty, and youre dependency problems will go away. [00:58] th0r: for canon device type [00:58] rz_: if you run: ls -l * [00:59] woo. [00:59] rz_: any files that are not yours or [00:59] Flannel, once I remove those - what next?an update? upgrade? [00:59] JohnTeddy: not sure...haven't had a printer in years so don't mess with them [00:59] or nothing at all? [00:59] rz_: give access to you by group will require sudo [00:59] Astew: Have you no shame ? [00:59] Leave now [00:59] Evolution isn't downloading MIME digests properly (via IMAP) - how can I force it to get the whole message instead of just the headers? [00:59] i tried to compile evolution manually, compiled some new version of the libraries it needed, than it didnt compile so i had to download the .deb file for the latest evolution, tried to install dpkg which gave me an error, so i tried to remove evolution which also game me an error, so i restarted and gnome is not starting again ! i am using the shell to connect, can anyone help ? [01:00] JohnTeddy: this might help....http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/network.html [01:00] vIkSiT: Change, don't remove. And then update/dist-upgrade [01:00] /quit [01:00] Flannel, ah so I replace hardy with jaunty? [01:01] Armageddon: incidentally, why are you? [01:01] Piss off Stew... im angry at you atm [01:01] and then do update/dist-upgrade. [01:01] bruce89: why ? [01:01] vIkSiT: yeah [01:01] Armageddon: actually, never mind [01:01] vIkSiT: well, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [01:01] bruce89: what is that question ? [01:01] MRZxSpectrum: language and attitude, would you mind? :( [01:01] gotcha [01:01] let me try that, thanks [01:02] Armageddon: I just wondered what you're compiling Evolution for [01:02] bruce89: my version was not stable, and it used to crash and it was very old, why do you compile a newer version for ? [01:02] MRZxSpectrum: hi, I think you've found the wrong channel. this channel is for end-user support of ubuntu only. I understand that you are upset, plesae confine you messages to my PM window. [01:02] Flannel, while it happens - what do you think let to the sources getting replaed by jaunty? I deally, I wanted to stick wit hardy, not jaunty! [01:03] Armageddon: I knew I shouldn't have asked [01:03] vIkSiT: I have no idea. You really shouldn't upgrade from Hardy to jaunty anyway, need to go through intrepid. [01:03] bruce89: i know, it would be apreciated if you tried to help instead [01:03] so is it better to run a server with my user credentials or sudo [01:03] vIkSiT: Something else you did made that change. [01:03] Flannel, precisely! I didn't want to do that in the first place [01:03] Flannel, so - what could lead to this? [01:03] Im pretty sure I didnt a) modify source lists, b)run dist-upgrade, c)do-release-upgrade [01:04] Armageddon: you can't install random newer debian packages [01:04] bruce89: i wasn't installing debian packages [01:04] vIkSiT: sed command? I know that's a popular (albeit poor technical choice) method in copy/paste situations. [01:04] nope. [01:04] Armageddon: .deb = debian packages [01:04] my main point is - i was just trying to upgrade some packages - not the distribution :) [01:05] bruce89: downloaded from the ubuntu website that's 1 and 2 i said it didnt install cause i needed to remove the old one :) [01:05] still dont get how it went to jaunty straight away.. [01:05] vIkSiT: right. And nothing with apt-get would've modified that. So, I have no idea what the issue is. [01:05] vIkSiT: well, if your sources.list gets changed, it'll do the move. Some things just might not be happy about it. [01:05] Armageddon: ah, so it didn't remove for some reason [01:05] bruce89: yup ! [01:05] Flannel, oh well. so I guess damage control - do you think running 9.04 as a server is good enough (and at some point, update to the next LTS in 2010?) [01:06] vIkSiT: It's not a supported upgrade path, but there's nothing in the code blocking it. [01:06] bruce89: i updated GTK+ and glib from source [01:06] that's bound to cause trouble [01:06] bruce89: now how do i fix it ? :D [01:06] anyone know of a package to do smtp --> webmail ? [01:06] Armageddon: I hope you still have the source? [01:06] vIkSiT: I'd say at this point, you'll probably be fine. And yeah, get on the next LTS. [01:06] bruce89: nope i don't [01:06] ah [01:07] without the source, you can't remove it [01:07] i installed a lightweight httpd (or maybe ftpd?) within the last few months and ran it once. i'd like to run it again, but can't find it on the volume. any ideas about where to look for logs, or where on the volume?

[01:54] xjunior: Depends on your issue :) [01:54] chauncellor: No, but Firefox is always open during the crash, and terminal is open on a few crashes [01:54] Just in case no-one knows, packages.ubuntu.com seems to be broken .. giving errors: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/openssh-server and not finding anything in any searches [01:55] edbian, I already said :) [01:55] hi all, I have a Intel HDA audio controller, but I'm not being able to use it on skype or even on gnome-recorder [01:55] !ask | xjunior [01:55] xjunior: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [01:55] This is probably a bit esoteric, but is anyone here familiar with dietlibc? [01:55] xjunior: Ooops! Sorry. No I don't know I've never set up skype :/ [01:55] nevyn, that sounds complicated [01:55] Hello everybody, im having tons of issues using fusermount. I keep getting operation not permitted. I've gone threw about 3 pages of google searches and tried everything suggeset and nothing has worked. [01:55] magical_walrus, weird. I'm afraid I don't know.... I'd blame Xorg first, but that's not really fair as I don't really know all that is happening [01:55] edbian, I don't think that the problem is with skype [01:55] so anyone familiar with how rsync works? [01:55] hey, i have ubuntu netbook remix but no gnome control center. how do i get it? i tried to install via apt-get control-center but it wasnt the name. ideas? [01:55] s/rsync/rm/ [01:56] magical_walrus, or the ATI driver. [01:56] I need to use Wake-On-LAN, What would be causing my NIC to power off when i shut down? PXE is enabled in the BIOS. [01:56] chauncellor: I'm a little bit of an ubuntu noob. What does xorg do, exactly? [01:56] xjunior: You're probably right. I was just saying I don't know how to help you :( [01:56] jabagawee: You might try using the man; type "man rm" [01:56] !find gnome-control-center [01:56] Found: gnome-control-center, gnome-control-center-dev [01:56] hi [01:56] lomez: its in ^^^^ [01:56] magical_walrus: xorg is the base of your graphical desktop! :) [01:56] edbian, that's ok ;) thank you anyway [01:56] xjunior: Good luck! [01:56] Hello, I just downloaded devilspie, and I cannot find it in the menus.so I went to the terminal and ran it. then I got this error message. :No s-expressions loaded, quiting [01:56] chauncellor: Also, I am not using an ATI driver. It seems none are available for 9.04 yet [01:56] jabagawee: But to get you started, rm -r removes recursively, and rm -i is "interactive" mode, where it asks you if you want to delete [01:57] xcthulhu, the manpage doesnt help very much for my situation... [01:57] jabagawee: i find rm works rather well. :) is tehre some specific problem you are having with it? [01:57] jabagawee: What are you trying to do? [01:57] Also, Im running in gnome [01:57] chauncellor: I have not installed a driver at all [01:57] Dr_Willis, lemme paste my situation again [01:57] network___: You have to have a minimal configuration file set up for devilspie to run. [01:57] i store all my stuff in /srv. rsync'ed a copy of /srv to /backups/srv a few days back (i know, no cronjob yet, and no offsite. but still, better than nothing). in alpha order, the first subdir (there are no files in /srv, only subdirs) is "Books," which was last modified well before the rsync. My dearest wish is that rm unlinks files starting from the first subdir in alpha order, in which case my rsync'ed copy can save my day [01:57] network___: its not a gui app. check its docs/homepage. you have to make some rulesets for it. [01:57] ok [01:57] thanks [01:57] magical_walrus, Xorg is the window system used. It's the system that enables a graphical environment [01:57] network___: Look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75749 [01:58] I used Jaunty on an Intel-Graphics powered machine and it was HELL [01:58] jabagawee: if you are worried about the order things get removed.. you could use 'find' and the options it has to remove things in a specific order. [01:58] whats the name of the ubuntu installer? ubuguility? [01:58] eeeuser133, ubiquity? [01:58] magical_walrus, I'm googling around for your problem... [01:58] Thanks! [01:58] eeeuser133: ubiquity lol [01:58] jabagawee: if this is about recovering things.. well.. no idea on that.. good luck undeleting things. [01:58] Dr_Willis, the situation is that i already rm'ed some files... so i want to know what order rm does it in [01:58] magical_walrus, have you done any drastic changes to your system? [01:59] No [01:59] Hello, I am really bad when it comes to linux and graphics .... I need to setup my (01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc M52 [Mobility Radeon X1300] [1002:7149]) can somebody help me? Up until now i used System > Administration > Hardware drivers, and just checked graphic driver, but now i don't get anything listed. [01:59] jabagawee: from what ive seen it does it aplhabetically make some test dirs and watch the order perhaps? [01:59] edbian: lol yeah. that thing crashes when i try to install eeebuntu [01:59] Dr_Willis, err... sure [01:59] chauncellor: No [01:59] ultraz: Are you trying to turn on compiz? [01:59] jabagawee: check the timestamps on the things perhaps to see when it was last modfied/ [02:00] although i realise this is not the eeebuntu channel. but i think there isnt one [02:00] Dr_Willis, thats a great suggestion. otoh, i might also need to do a bitta reading on the rm source code [02:00] where would that be/ [02:00] edbian: well, maybe later on. But i am trying to change resolution. [02:00] !find rm [02:00] Found: apparmor, apparmor-docs, apparmor-utils, bogl-bterm, console-terminus (and 379 others) [02:00] heh.. :) [02:00] Is anybody able to help me with fusermount? I keep getting "fusermount: mount failed: Operation not permitted" when I am not root. [02:00] ultraz: What are you stuck at? [02:00] Xqtftqx: for users to use fuse - they normally have to be in the FUSE user group i recall. [02:01] Dr_Willis: I am in the fuse group. [02:01] Xqtftqx: perhaps you are using the command wrong then. [02:01] im using sshfs [02:01] magical_walrus, the only thing I can suggest is that you boot into recovery mode and select the option to "repair X" it will automatically configure it for you. But I'm not sure if that would help [02:01] Xqtftqx: You have to restart the system for group policy to take effect. [02:01] Dr_Willis, i'll be darned if google keeps telling me that "rm source code" refers to realmedia... no i do not want to know how realplayer handles streams, thank you [02:01] anybody know where I can find any GOOD content on shoutcast? [02:01] Anyone else have any ideas? [02:02] chauncellor: Is there it a possibility it will b0rk my installation/change anything? [02:02] jabagawee: check the apt package manager docs/guides therew a way to get them to download the soruce packages but ive never done so.. and i dont know what package 'rm' is in. [02:02] help my hdd free space is Shortening Every certain time [02:02] Is it true that to use a hdtv as a pc monitor dvi cable is needed? Cause what i use was a vga 15 pin male to male and didn't work? [02:02] magical_walrus, you're not using any drivers and you aren't using desktop effects, right? [02:02] Dr_Willis, most likely gnu coreutils [02:02] chauncellor: Correct [02:02] yesitjustme: ive used vga cables to a tv befor. [02:02] meh, i'll get it somehow. i'm running gentoo anyways [02:02] yesitjustme: You do not need dvi. VGA should be fine [02:03] yesitjustme: my tv's have both.. vga and dvi [02:03] edbian: the highest resolution given in display preferences is 1024x768. This display should support 1400 x 1050, so i thought i need display driver. [02:03] well hdmi [02:03] :) [02:03] i just bought a pc controller does ubuntu detect that as a controller so i can use it on n64 emulators [02:03] magical_walrus, then it should not harm it. Reconfiguring X will sometimes cause some issues with drivers and fancy effects, but usually all you have to do is re-enable them [02:03] ok i see [02:03] chauncellor: Ok, thanks. [02:03] magical_walrus, I'd put that swap on, as well. Maybe that is the problem after all, but it's good to be safe :) [02:03] Xodiac13: you mean a gamepad?.. it shuld work.. see if other games detect/use it.. [02:03] ultraz: xrandr -q will show a list of all the resolutions that should be possible. What do you see from the output of that command? [02:03] magical_walrus, let me know how it works out [02:03] chauncellor: Will do. [02:04] hi i have a problem with conky: after several hours that of usage, it fills 40% of my ram. here is my conkyrc http://pastebin.com/d7abe39dd [02:04] Dr_Willis: yes a gamepad i just want to make sure i can use it on the emulators and there are n64 emulators for linux right that can play online like mupen64 [02:04] help my hdd free space is Shortening Every certain time some body know why?

[02:04] edbian: thanks, i guess my display cant support higher resolution after all. [02:04] edbian: Restarting didn't fix anything. [02:05] ultraz: No no [02:05] ultraz: You may be correct [02:05] ultraz: xrandr -q isn't the end all be all [02:05] ayuda el espacio libre de mi hdd se va reduciendo de cuando en cuando [02:05] Xqtftqx: sorry :( [02:05] what is it called when I wanna make a small text file that makes it so when i type "duckwars" it substitutes with "ssh duckwars@10.0.1.10". I'm just trying to figure out what to google [02:05] edbian: :-) [02:05] ultraz: pm me [02:05] Dr_Willis: okay nice nice and i plan on getting a radeon 4780 hd graphics card is it better to go with nvidia from what i heard and with ram i plan on upgrading my ram [02:06] ubuntutr [02:06] Does anybody else have any ideas on why I cannot use sshfs? [02:06] ty Dr_Willis [02:06] duckwars: Just use an alias in your bashrc file [02:06] duckwars=`ssh duckwars@10.0.1.10` [02:06] #ubuntu-tr [02:06] xFlux, my brother was helping do this, but it is weird on OS X because you can't store it in the standard linux folder [02:07] is there a way to install an unstable version ? with apt-get [02:07] I don't know where to put the text file to make OS X know I want it as a command [02:07] duckwars: If you type cd ~; ls -la it should show .bashrc [02:08] duckwars: If its not there try creating one. BASH is used in OSX as well, so it should use the same conventions [02:08] duckwars: you have to make it, ~/.bashrc it doesn't exist by default on osx [02:09] Xqtftqx: I noticed that today with fusessh not properly installing on 9.04. The end result was me downloading and self compiling. [02:09] thank you guys [02:09] xFlux: Ill try that then. [02:09] help my hdd free space is Shortening Every certain time somebody know what can I do?

[02:10] ah fuck [02:10] ups [02:10] lomez: add it to system > prefs > keyboard shortcuts [02:10] i put in duckwars=`ssh duckwars@10.0.1.10` to .bashrc and it didn't seem to work.... === mike is now known as Guest60466 [02:10] I have a netbook running Ubuntu. Whenever I plug in this external (USB) hard drive, my computer does an instant hard shutdown. What could be wrong? [02:10] duckwars: You have to exit and restart your bash session for it to take effect [02:11] VCoolio, how do i do that? i went in there but couldnt figure out how to map programs to keyboard cuts [02:11] duckwars: .bashrc is read on initial session creation, not post [02:11] sooo. i can't just close and restart terminal, I have to restart the computer? [02:11] no [02:11] type [02:12] export duckwars=`ssh duckwars@1.1.1.1` [02:12] chauncellor: how exactly would I turn swap on/off, again? [02:12] swapon [02:12] swapoff :) [02:12] lomez: click the add button [02:12] just not in a circular motion [02:12] ty VCoolio [02:12] xFlux: But, where? [02:12] and the shell [02:12] magical_walrus, in GParted, just right click on the swap partition and click "swapon" [02:12] *at the shell [02:12] oh [02:13] or you can take chauncellor's advice and never learn what that simple gui is doing! :) [02:13] magical_walrus, xFlux was talking about from the command line :) [02:13] xFlux, I put in your format and still doesn't work... should I restart the computer? [02:13] I just closed and reopened the terminal [02:13] chauncellor: And once I'm in recovery mode how can I get to a Command line interface to run "repair X" [02:13] Is there good gui compiler for linux other than gambas? [02:13] magical_walrus, it will be an option in recovery mode, no command line [02:13] help my hdd free space is Shortening Every certain time I think its a gnu/linux virus [02:14] DevilBass: Are you not filling it yourself? [02:14] magical_walrus, unless you want to, as xFlux says, "learn what that simple GUI is doing" :P [02:14] ok VCoolio there doesnt seem to be any option to add a new one in here [02:14] duckwars: It should def work.......If you type cd ~ you are in your current user's home directory. If you edit .bashrc and add exactly what I wrote, save it, and restart bash it should work [02:14] DevilBass: Use the "disk usage analyzer" to find where these mystery files are :) [02:14] chauncellor: But it won't look exactly like repair X, maybe something like repair xorg (try to fix graphical blah... blah) [02:14] yeah, that's it [02:14] Oh [02:14] I did that [02:14] duckwars: Other than that, I would recommend reading on google to see if bashrc even exists in the mac(which last time I checked on my macbook it did) [02:15] lomez: hm i've heard that before; then use gconf-editor to do it; let me find the entry [02:15] magical_walrus, good. This may or may not fix the issue. That's a broad thing that that problem could cover. [02:15] magical_walrus, do you have any surefire ways of replicating it? [02:15] ty VCoolio [02:15] How can I create a swap partition with GParted? When I try to "create a new partition table", it warns about blitzing my entire device. [02:16] Yeah! [02:16] I got cryopid to compile again [02:16] chauncellor: I cannot replicate the problem [02:16] lomez: in configuration editor in apps>metacity you can assign commands to keyboard shortcuts [02:16] magical_walrus, well, want to learn a little trick if that ever happens again? :) [02:16] Of course [02:16] thanks VCoolio [02:17] ok...where to look for shoutcast content (other than the playlist) [02:17] edbian : well i check time to time the nautilus condition bar and i notice the free space reduction [02:17] magical_walrus, if you hold down and then press "K", you will kill your session and go back to the login prompt [02:17] DevilBass: Are you installing software often? [02:17] mechtech: the shoutcast homepage? or use streamtuner, or tunapie programs. perhaps. [02:17] chauncellor: Thanks [02:17] But [02:17] magical_walrus, there used to be a nifty shortcut, but they shut that off by default now [02:18] magical_walrus, those commands are just in case it freezes up and you need to start over without having to boot everything up again [02:18] !dontzp [02:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about dontzp [02:18] !dontzap [02:18] To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. [02:18] yeah, but you have to install a package [02:18] chauncellor: When I have read about this problem, people said the system is 100% hosed, and a restart will only fix it (temporarily) === Armagedd2n is now known as Armageddon [02:18] magical_walrus, ouch.... only time that it hasn't worked is when NVidia's piss-poor drivers locked the entire system up [02:19] chauncellor: Kind of like ATI's piss-poor drivers? D: [02:19] edbian: no i notice the reduccion when I needed to copy some mp3 file to my hdd [02:19] magical_walrus, yeah, kinda :) [02:19] DevilBass: You should look at "Disk Usage Analyzer" [02:20] How can I create a swap partition with GParted? When I try to "create a new partition table", it warns about blitzing my entire device. [02:20] DevilBass: Try: "sudo apt-get clean" to clear out apt-get's old packages (it caches them) [02:21] edbian: I check my disk only whit FSCK command [02:21] DevilBass: Well that's good for finding errors... [02:21] OT: what does this sentence mean: "I wonder what the reasoning behind that was" ... how would you say that with different words? [02:22] is there a way to sync the calendar that comes with ubuntu with my google calendar? [02:23] edbian: i have open the nautilus and it show me the reduccion free space every 20 seconds more less [02:23] jethro: theres google applets tools you can install.. perhaps those can do it. [02:23] How can I create a swap partition with GParted? When I try to "create a new partition table", it warns about blitzing my entire device. [02:23] lslpp: I wonder why so-and-so made some decision [02:23] lslpp: 'what was he thinking' [02:24] jethro, yes, there is! There's an option in Evolution that will sync it with google! [02:24] magical_walrus: you resize/shrink the other partitiosn.. make a new one.. set its type to be swap. [02:24] dr_willis a google applet for gnome? [02:24] danbhfive, Dr_Willis ... thank you [02:24] magical_walrus: make a new partition, not a new partition table [02:24] jethro: yes. google widgets or whatever they are called work on linux. [02:24] DevilBass: I don't know what you want me to tell you. I think you should use the disk-usage-analyzer to figure out what files are filling the disk [02:24] dr_willis how do i install them? [02:24] jethro: i think they are in the medibuntu repos. [02:25] chauncellor i am using thunderbird currently but could change to evolution for this [02:25] jethro, there might be a thunderbird addon... [02:25] jethro: a google search for 'google gadgets ubuntu' --> http://helpforlinux.blogspot.com/2009/06/install-google-gadgets-in-ubuntu-904.html [02:26] i was wondering why can't i install the package ,, although i'm following https://launchpad.net/~qgis/+archive/unstable [02:26] sudo apt-get install google-gadgets-gtk [02:26] jethro, a quick google search just brought up some stuff about integrating google calendar into Thunderbird. it's possible :) [02:26] To the Bat-Google! [02:26] Holy google, Batman! [02:27] dr_willis and chauncellor thank you [02:27] th0r: that's part of the problem... can't remember the name of the app... it was a httpd or perhaps a ftpd [02:27] jethro, no problem-o [02:28] Question: Whats a terminal apt-get command for a good isoburner besides k3b === _MrApple_ is now known as _MrsApple_ [02:29] I resized a parition and created 2.5GB of unallocated space. How can I create a logical partition for swap space out of this with GParted? [02:29] Question: Whats a terminal apt-get command for a good isoburner besides k3b [02:29] magical_walrus: a 2.5gb is a bit large.. you can have 4 parimarie partitions maximum. so it depends on what else you got. [02:29] magical_walrus: swap partition can be logical or primary - make a new partition. set its type to swap. === stephen is now known as Guest37784 [02:30] magical_walrus: its same as making any other partition with a normal filesystem. you just set the type to be the special type of 'swap' [02:30] magical_walrus: you COULD make/use a swap file if you really wanted to. === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:30] For cron, if I have minutes set up as */30 would that be every two minutes?

[02:31] Dr_willis: Ok, but I already have 4 primary paritions. When I click 'new' it says I cannot make another primary one, but I dont want to make a primary partition. [02:31] i was wondering why can't i install the package ,, although i'm following https://launchpad.net/~qgis/+archive/unstable [02:31] sh4d0wz, brasero is a good one [02:31] sh4d0wz, sudo apt-get install brasero [02:31] Ok [02:31] sh4d0wz: or you just just use the cdrtools [02:31] magical_walrus: if you want more then 4 partitions. one primary must be a extended partition. the extended will hold the 'logical' partitions. [02:32] Ok [02:32] Thanks [02:32] magical_walrus: You could delete one primary and make it a extended . but that will lose all data in it. [02:32] magical_walrus: it may be easier to just use a swap file. [02:33] i just installed wine and wine doors and for some reason it is not in the applications menu i just installed project64 is there anyway i can get it in the meny [02:33] Dr_willis: I'll just try to use Partition magic on windoze. It will let me make more than 4 partitions [02:34] trying to locate a server app i installed within the last few months. i can't find it... and i am asking for help with ideas on how search for it or what logs to check. please? i don't recall the name of the app. is there history log for apt-get install? [02:34] magical_walrus: the 4 primary partition limit doesnt matter whether you use magic or gparted [02:34] when i try and grep over a file and search for a directory path it doesn't work properly grep "/var/mydir/" /proc/mounts everytime no matter if the text si there or not it returns all the text as if tis use regex or something and not as a plain string [02:34] magical_walrus: err.. no it wont.. [02:34] magical_walrus: 4 parimaries is a limiation thats been in existantce for years... [02:34] i just installed wine and wine doors and for some reason it is not in the applications menu i just installed project64 is there anyway i can get it in the meny [02:35] Dr_willis: Oh, sorry. I guess I saw mistaken. I haven't used PM for a while [02:35] Greetings guys. Is there a way to stop Ubuntu (9.04) using the PC Speakers for "Error" sounds? (Like pressing "Delete" in an empty line) [02:36] Frank83: edit the Sounds preferences [02:36] magical_walrus: most windows apps wont let you make more then 1 primary partition anyway. windows has had issues in the past with mor ethen 1 primary [02:36] I see [02:37] which is more stable kde or gnome? [02:37] gnome [02:37] julytwentyeight_, milage may vary. [02:37] and much easier to use [02:37] julytwentyeight_, I much prefer Gnome.

[02:38] thanks for opinions [02:39] julytwentyeight_, personal preference. try both if you can and then decide which you want to use. #dontchyawishwindowswouldallowthat [02:39] Frank83: if you want to change the device that plays the sounds...that is done on the Devices tab [02:39] Dewc The module sounds interesting. [02:39] Frank83: if you just want to turn them off do it on the Sounds tab [02:39] That's what Il have to do. [02:40] julytwentyeight_, try out WUBI if you are using Windows [02:40] Frank83: try what th0r is suggesting, if that doesnt do what you want, let me know. [02:40] Il have to get over the iritatating learning curve, but wait, its linux :) [02:40] i just installed wine and wine doors and for some reason it is not in the applications menu i just installed project64 is there anyway i can get it in the meny [02:40] Im running on ubuntu [02:40] Frank83: if you want to turn them off just uncheck the Play alerts and sound effects box.... [02:40] Using gnome now. [02:40] !wine [02:40] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [02:40] julytwentyeight_, oh, sorry. I just assumed you were a Windows user :) My fault [02:41] That's offensive. Lol [02:41] julytwentyeight_, why is it offensive? It's helpful! [02:41] I was joking. [02:41] help please: where to find history log for apt-get install? [02:41] this channel is huge [02:41] julytwentyeight_, yeah, sorry, got that right after I hit enter :/ [02:41] I have a slow internet so I was contemplating installing kde. For hughesnet thats a big download [02:42] any stunnel users in here? [02:42] julytwentyeight_, yeah, I have dial up at home... I'm housesitting right now, so I have a blazing fast one right now! [02:42] xcv: to my knowledge there is no such thing. If you can't remember what you did, you will have a hard time undoing it [02:42] GodfatherofEire: apt-cache show live-magic apt-cache show uck [02:42] !wine [02:42] th0r: I think we are misunderstood. I didn't explain myself correctly. My system plays sounds just fine using the Motherboard integrated sound card. It's set up on ALSA because I modified the system from loading "PulseAudio". The system plays the system sounds normally, that is not the issue. The thing is that sometimes it uses the internal PC speakers for some "Error" sounds instead of using the Integrated sound card. [02:42] bucky, that apply to xubuntu as well? [02:42] i just installed wine and wine doors and for some reason it is not in the applications menu i just installed project64 is there anyway i can get it in the meny [02:42] kewlbeans. I cant wait for fiberoptic [02:42] GodfatherofEire: of course [02:43] bucky, good [02:43] quick question though [02:43] GodfatherofEire: did you try those commands? [02:43] th0r, thanks. are daemons logged somewhere? i didn't find anything useful in system logs, but i didn't dive deep in some of the chatty logs [02:43] Frank83: there is a sound option for errors in 'power management' you can disable [02:43] not yet, I just didnt remember what they were or if they existed at all [02:43] Question: Why when I try to burn disc using gnome baker i get this? :-( /dev/sr0: media is not recognized as recordable DVD: 0 [02:43] I am having a really difficult time getting my mouse to work in ubuntu jaunty. I have blueman installed but it doesnt seem to do anything. [02:43] Frank83: yeah...check the Sound events on the devices tab. I think if you change that you might solve your problems [02:44] Frank83: sometime 'autodetect' isn't quite right [02:44] sh4d0wz: DVD+R or DVD-R? [02:44] Hello I'm trying to install nvidia latest drivers from nvidia website on ubuntu 8.10 after I finish installing and try to start x I get this error (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module [02:44] dvd-r [02:44] should I choose option burn idc [02:44] disc* [02:44] or the image one [02:44] Frank83: are you talking about the beep that it makes if you, say hit delete when there's nothing to delete? [02:44] b33r, did you do a manual install, or a ppa install? [02:44] in sleep.sh, why do they do "[ x$ACPI_SLEEP != xtrue ]" as opposed to "[ $ACPI_SLEEP != true ]" ? What's the point of sticking 'x' in front of everything? [02:45] hi, has anyone else noticed that jaunty is kinda slow? [02:45] Th0r. Yep. That was it. The "Play Alert Sound" makes the funny PC speaker sound. [02:45] chauncellor, manual install [02:45] jaunty = fine for me [02:45] xcv: each daemon is logged in /var/log/messages at startup, and I think in dmesg also. You can also see what daemons are running with ps ax [02:45] i need some help i just installed wine and wine doors but its not showing up in the applications menu [02:45] dewc. Yes, That was the sound. [02:45] b33r, which package did you use? Did you use the one with 0, 1, or 2 at the end? [02:45] sh4d0wz: burn image is for putting an ISO onto a disk, so choose that if that's what you're doing [02:46] bucky, can it remove stuff from the distro too? [02:46] Thanks for the help guys! [02:46] Frank83: ok. if you found your solution, I will save mine :) [02:46] im tryna burn windows xp sp3 iso [02:46] so do that? [02:46] but Frank83 how will you know now when you make a mistake! [02:46] I just need to make a nice, lightweight live CD with diagnostic tools [02:46] hi, i have set up my ubuntu (desktop version) as a NAT, fileserver, dhcp and DNS server... now i want to do some port forwarding, and im looking for an interface like ip cop... or anything simliar [02:46] sh4d0wz: yes [02:46] chauncellor, you mean like that pkg2.run ?? what does that mean? [02:46] YAY [02:46] fuck ubuntu! [02:46] im going back to windowz! [02:46] i have full access to this pc.. with desktop environment [02:47] sh4d0wz, great, please leave, then [02:47] :D [02:47] sh4d0wz, have fun ;) === [1]Sergeant_Pony is now known as Sergeant_Pony [02:47] I dont have to if i dont want to! [02:47] Th0r. Don't worry about it :-) My mistakes are easily noticeable since they always involve me completely messing up the Kernel. :-) [02:47] b33r, you should use the 0 package [02:47] We don't want you anyway. Have fun getting viruses [02:47] th0r, thanks. i didn't install it as a daemon -- just invoked it once as a normal foreground process in a terminal window, and closed it with ctrl-c when done, still, it was a server -- hoping it left a 'trail' somewhere [02:47] I STAY IN HERE ALL DAY FOOl [02:47] sh4d0wz, until you're kicked [02:47] chauncellor, what's the difference? what does the numbers stand for? [02:47] Nah if your smart enough you can prevent getting viruses [02:47] Frank83: every Python-ite knows you need 'the machine that goes 'beep' [02:47] THANKS FOR THE HELP APPRECIATE IT [02:47] linux= for scary paranoid nubs [02:47] LOOOOOOOOOOl [02:47] b33r, I'm not sure, but 0 is the one recommended for compatibility reasons, I believe [02:47] Im out [02:47] piece [02:47] sh4d0wz, on ubuntu you dont need to be smart if you dont want to get any virus ;) [02:48] If your smart enough you can keep yourself from getting the flu. [02:48] b33r, I always use the 0 [02:48] (sarcasam) [02:48] I have an ATI 9200 pro, dual monitors, can anyone help me enable compiz/desktop effects? thanks [02:48] is this place for discussion of 9.04 only? [02:48] bucky, can it remove stuff too? I just need to make a nice, lightweight live CD with diagnostic tools [02:48] th0r, You've got a point there. [02:48] al_x_ not at all, previous distros accepted too [02:48] i want to know if i should install karmic or wait a few weeks/months [02:48] al_x, this channel is named #ubuntu .. so i suppose its for all ubuntu related questions ;) [02:49] chauncellor, nvidia website gives me the link to package2 when I choose my card [02:49] does anyone know of a way to change the text of my gnome bar menus? [02:49] al_x_: wait, wait till it is released [02:49] need help setting up a dial-up connection for a friend... [02:49] the color of the text i mean [02:49] al_x_: well, karmic is alpha, so if you're comfortable with that... [02:49] b33r, oh, maybe you should listen to them instead... :D [02:49] can i please get some help serioulsy or am i going to get ignored the whole time dang [02:49] al_x, you might want to stick with the stable release for a bit. [02:49] Can someone help me configure my ati card for dual monitors + compiz? [02:49] chauncellor, lol... [02:49] Xodiac13: what's you question [02:50] Xodiac13: what's up? [02:50] b33r, did you remove all nvidia modules before the manual install? [02:50] who know how to us mysql? [02:51] I have gnome.ppp on my pc, and my thumb drive... how do I get it on his laptop [02:51] funkywds: sorry i just installed and it didnt show up in the menu i looked in applications and it wasnt there the last time i installed it it was in the menu and now its gone i tried looking at the edit menu option and still not there [02:51] GodfatherofEire: did you try those commands? [02:51] chauncellor, I just deactivated the old driver [02:51] bucky, not yet, but I need to know if it can remove things from the disc image as well [02:51] Xodiac13: wine and wine doors? [02:51] b33r, you should go to synaptic, search "nvidia", and remove all the modules, then install the package again through the oh-so-painful process [02:51] GodfatherofEire: of course [02:51] funkywds: yes [02:52] Xodiac13: oh, sry guy, i don't have experience with wine. never needed it, since i'm coming from the mac side of things [02:52] GodfatherofEire: do you have jaunty installed? [02:52] is anyone here using karmic yet? [02:52] i usually wait for betas [02:52] funkywds: do you know anyone that does and that can help me i appreciate you trying to help man [02:52] Can someone please help me with my ati card and dual monitors? thanks. [02:52] Xodiac13: have you rebooted? [02:52] i was just wondering if there's any killer new features [02:53] bucky, yeah, but my copy is disconnected from the network atm [02:53] refusin to connect to the WPA2 network I have here [02:53] mechtech: yes and i also reinstalled it not unless i need to reboot again [02:53] Xodiac13: Your problem is Wine related? [02:53] dave__, you still there? [02:53] GodfatherofEire: you know there's a ton of lightweight live cd distros out there.. most notably wolvix [02:53] Xodiac13: prolly not, but yet worth a try [02:53] Frank83: i installed it and its not in the menu i reinstalled it and also reboot my computer [02:53] al_x_: Karmic discussion can be found in #ubuntu+1, #ubuntu is for current releases only. [02:54] damn [02:54] bucky: I was originally gonna do an LFS with the LUK or CoLinux, but I decided against that [02:54] Xodiac13: /join #wine [02:54] mechtech: when i installed it the first time i rebooted and then it still wasnt there and so i reinstalled and its still not there [02:54] just join the wine room [02:54] mechtech, winehq [02:55] try them...I had to [02:55] Xodiac13: You can check if it is installed by typing "wine uninstaller" in terminal. About the Menu, have you checked in System - Preferences - Main menu? [02:55] sorry...see daz's post to me...winehq [02:55] Frank83: yes but i will check again and i typed in wine-doors and that works [02:56] !wine | Xodiac13 [02:56] ok, pardon me if I'm making an idiots suggestion, but Xodiac13, have you ran alacarte and seen if it might just not have been enabled in there? [02:56] Xodiac13: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [02:56] 'cause I dont know WINE too well, so, I'm just taking a shot in the dark [02:56] !virtualizers [02:56] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [02:57] GodfatherofEire: uh alacarte no [02:57] well, alacarte is the command, Menu Editor is what its called under prefs [02:57] Xodiac13: why not join the wine room? /join #winehq [02:57] GodfatherofEire, sometimes the idiot suggestions, aren't stupid at all. [02:58] GodfatherofEire: uh o okay yeah i even checked the menu editor [02:58] tried gconfeditor? [02:58] you can lead a horse to water [02:58] Anyone else hate it when people start ranting on about how they hate Ubuntu or any other distro? [02:58] If a cron job is setup to run every minute and the previous cron job took a lot longer than usual, will it blindly try to continue running more instances of the job, or wait until the previous instance completes? [02:59] GodfatherofEire: I wouldn't put too much stock in alacarte...it doesn't work very well [02:59] only distro i cant stand is a broken one [02:59] chauncellor: people always rant.. its easier then actually learning the tools.. [02:59] <````bulldogg> chauncellor, I have tried a lot of them... don't hate any.. but do like some better than others [02:59] Wow Donald Shimoda. Someone has been reading Richard Bach [03:00] th0r, yeah, why I was thinkin maybe check gconfeditor, or just unhide the folders in the home directory [03:00] No, it's not that if it doesn't work, it's that they come in and expect everything to suit their needs. If it doesn't work for them, I'm sorry, use Windows, but please respect the hard work that's been put into all this! [03:00] hello. [03:00] Also, one thing I noticed, couldnt wine act as a sort of forkbomb, seeing as how the path to the ~/.wine folder is, how do you say.... recursive? [03:00] I tried to sudo cat /dev/cdrw > movie.iso I am getting I/O error.. what could be the reason > [03:01] are there any known issues with a tickless kernel? [03:01] looks like Xodiac quit rather than try winehq [03:01] Godzuki: hello [03:01] <````bulldogg> does anyone know how to view a m4v file in ubuntu? [03:01] Chauncellor, I do understand what you mean. Sometimes it's just lack of patience. [03:01] *shakes head* [03:01] trying to get WG111T wifi usb to work in jaunty. [03:01] chauncellor: I don't want it to work as good as windows. This is my geek escape...my haven away from the marching morons...and I want it to stay that way [03:01] Like, put an exe in there that runs itself which would then in theory cause the system to run out of memory? [03:01] how can i turn my bluetooth on? [03:01] th0r, But I do :) [03:01] th0r, I think of Ubuntu as the next Firefox [03:02] Can anyone please help me setup my ATI card properly? [03:02] The first time I booted up Ubuntu about three years ago, I was greeted with a broken display manager :) [03:03] And now I've been running it with hardly any problems on multiple machines [03:03] chauncellor: the first time I booted up linux there wasn' [03:03] Th0r, I'm just happy that Ubuntu released me from the shackles of Firewalling, Paranoid Virus Scanning and Mind breaking Disk defragment [03:03] <````bulldogg> brb kernel update [03:03] t a display manager [03:03] Is there any way to set the network manager to have independent wireless options for WPA and WPA2? [03:03] Cause its being a real PITA right now, and is refusing to connect to my WPA2 network [03:04] GodfatherofEire: I ended up dumping networkmangler and installling wicd [03:04] never heard of it [03:04] GodfatherofEire: it isn't quite as polished as network mangler, but it works [03:04] GodfatherofEire: even does static ip [03:04] Can someone help me configure my ati card for dual monitors + compiz? [03:05] I've never had a problem with Networkmanager, but I've heard lots of stories. Guess I'm lucky [03:05] excuse me, i burned a cd audio project a few days ago and somehow, it didn't worked on the cd player of my car, what are the configurations to burn it right? [03:05] GodfatherofEire: but if you want to try it....let me know and I will pastebin something that will save yo usome headaches [03:05] i used k3b [03:05] Um_cara_qualquer, are you sure your car can play burned CDs? [03:05] yes [03:05] th0r, does it allow for different connections to WPA and WPA2 networks, instead of just showing up as WPA/WPA2 [03:05] ? [03:05] HOw can i find out what module i need to load for my bluetooth? [03:05] all my cds are burned [03:06] Um_cara_qualquer: K3B :) [03:06] ;) [03:06] Um_cara_qualquer, hm, I'm not familiar with K3B as I don't use it, sorry [03:06] GodfatherofEire: haven't used it for that, don't believe in wpa. But it shows wpa1/2 so I don't think they are separate [03:06] ok [03:06] anyone else can help me? [03:07] GodfatherofEire: but it shows a separate entry for each network, if that is what you mean [03:07] Um_cara_qualquer: an audio CD is an audio CD, it should just work as long as you burnt it as one, and you got a CD player [03:07] sebsebseb: not quite....a lot of car stereos are picky about CD-R and CD+R [03:07] Um_cara_qualquer, does the cd work anywhere else? [03:07] th0r, thats the problem, the modem/router is set up to /only/ use WPA2 connections, not either or, and Ubuntu keeps reading and sending authentication for an interchangable network [03:07] what do u mean by burnt it as one [03:08] Use infrarecorder. [03:08] th0r, right, my sister's car is really picky [03:08] didn't tried it anywhere else [03:08] th0r: that makes sense, to make sure people buy proper CD's [03:08] waaaaiit.... my router allows for a guest network [03:08] * GodfatherofEire proceeds to headdesk [03:08] how do i delete the home directory of a deleted user? [03:08] Um_cara_qualquer: look at what th0r put [03:08] Lucifer_Cat, command line or graphical? [03:09] chauncellor: on command line it told me permission denied. [03:09] Lucifer_Cat: rm -rf /home/directory/of/deleted/user [03:09] wait. sudo. lemme try sudo. [03:09] alright thanks bruenig [03:09] Lucifer_Cat, you're going to have to put -R after rm. so it'll be "sudo rm -R FOLDER" [03:09] Question: Does the ubuntu install CD offer full hard drive encryption on installation? using dm-crypt? [03:10] ok, R or rf? [03:10] either [03:10] so...should i buy cds instead try to use ubuntu's programs?! [03:10] Um_cara_qualquer, if it makes you that much more legal, yes ;) [03:11] ok got it. thanks chauncellor and bruenig [03:11] *is not a fan of pirated music* [03:11] humm... and if i don't wanna make it legal? [03:11] Need some help with ndiswrapper. [03:11] chauncellor: protip, it sounds the same [03:11] chauncellor: then I won't tell you about 'streamripper' === P is now known as Guest24172 [03:11] chauncellor: pirated music is music [03:11] aaargh [03:12] sebsebseb: hi [03:12] sudo modprobe ndiswrapper says FATAL: module ndiswrapper not found. [03:12] Hey guys, anyone know wheter I should be using /dev/md_d0 or /dev/md/d0 as the device for my RAID array? [03:12] even after its been installed by synaptic. [03:12] funkywds, ROMs are games. So what's your point? :) [03:12] bruenig: hi [03:12] sebsebseb: hi [03:12] chauncellor: point? who said i had a point? [03:13] funkywds, forgive me, I thought you were trying to make one. I guess you were just writing nonsense into the textbar [03:13] burn [03:13] This debate is getting interesting-er by the second. [03:13] chauncellor: what, like pirated music sounds different? it's not like the difference between butter and margarine [03:13] chauncellor: and there's no need to be rude [03:13] i cant believe its not butter [03:13] Godzuki: try 'sudo depmod -a' then try the modprobe again [03:14] Is it good to use Ubuntu 8.04 on an old iMac 500? [03:14] funkywds, you're comparing mp3s and cds. You can get both legally and illegally, just like your types of cooking materials [03:14] th0r: same thing. [03:14] I'm not sure whether /dev/md_d0 is symlinked to /dev/md/d0 or vice verse. [03:14] chauncellor: and if you want meandering nonsense, i suggest you listen to sarah palin's quitter speach/rant [03:14] The reason why is I'm using an old iMac 500 [03:14] chauncellor: i'm not comparing media, i'm comparing pirated vs non-pirated [03:15] funkywds, non-sequitur, I'm not interested in politics, [03:15] Godzuki: I would try uninstalling ndiswrapper and then reinstalling it [03:15] chauncellor: your interest is not what defines a non-sequiter [03:15] th0r: how would I do that?

[03:15] oh, you're kidding [03:15] funkywds, you're comparing brands of items. It doesn't come close to comparing legality. [03:15] Godzuki: in synpatic, just mark it for uninstall then click apply, then mark it for install and click apply again [03:16] chauncellor: it's called a metaphore [03:16] i think you guys might be off topic?

[03:16] funkywds, No, I believe it's called a metaphor, I don't quite know what a metaphore is [03:16] Frank83, no, I'm just a humble musician [03:16] wow gai [03:16] !ohmy | libtech [03:16] libtech: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures.

[03:21] i cant remove one package because the uninstall script fails [03:21] th0r: 4902 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep ndiswrapper [03:21] bruenig, >>> print sys.path [03:21] ['', '/usr/local/lib/python26.zip', '/usr/local/lib/python2.6', '/usr/local/lib/python2.6/plat-linux2', '/usr/local/lib/python2.6/lib-tk', '/usr/local/lib/python2.6/lib-old', '/usr/local/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload', '/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages'] [03:21] Raydiation: delete the uninstall script, it is located in /var [03:21] bruenig: ty [03:22] Raydiation: do locate "*prerm" or some such, you should see the correct one [03:22] Godzuki: nope...not loaded yet if that is all you got [03:22] Godzuki: jeez...getting old...sorry. 'lsmod | grep ndiswrapper' [03:22] bruenig: does ubuntu automatically start updatedb? [03:23] th0r: it just typed it then made a new command line [03:23] on my laptop, I'm running 9.04, I have it check automatically for updates... it does not tell me there are updates unless I check manually. Can I fix this? [03:24] Raydiation: in the cron [03:24] wow nice [03:24] th0r: it would just act like all i did was press enter [03:24] Godzuki: it should look like this....steve@mother:~$ lsmod | grep ndiswrapper [03:24] Godzuki: jeez...am I getting old! ndiswrapper 193436 0 [03:24] Godzuki: ok...not installed yet. [03:24] Godzuki: or not loaded yet [03:25] th0r: okay, i thought it was. [03:25] when i try to open an .avi file with vlc it just disappears, why is this happening? [03:25] Godzuki: ok....do you have find-utils installed? [03:26] th0r: uh... I don't know. [03:26] Godzuki: try this....but I don't think it installs by default 'locate ndiswrapper | grep modules' [03:27] th0r: /lib/mod/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/ubuntu/ndiswrapper then it also has all of that plus /ndiswrapper.ko [03:28] Got problem with adobe flashplayer and firefox, i have installed last flashplayer with sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer, and the version is 10.something, but in firefox it shows something like "Shockwave flash version 9.0.999.0", whats the problem? i run ubuntu Jauty.. [03:28] Godzuki: ok...now let's see if that matches your kernel....to [03:28] jethro: do you have all of the proper codecs? [03:28] whenever i try to open an .avi file the media player opens and then automatically closes, [03:28] Godzuki: do 'uname -a' [03:28] jethro: try it with mplayer [03:28] Godzuki: and compare the kernel numbers with the /lib/mod [03:28] godzuki i downloaded the ones that were suggested when i tried to open [03:29] dfkmas, Does Firefox play flash files without a problem? [03:29] jethro: try reinstalling them [03:29] bruenig: ty, file was called postrm though :) [03:29] is mplayer the totem player?

[03:30] on ubuntu [03:31] dfkmas, Well, There is a really easy way to make Flash10 work with Firefox under Ubu64. [03:31] Frank83: tell me about it [03:31] Godzuki: where did you get 2.6.30!? You are going to have to compile ndiswrapper for that kernel [03:32] th0r: um... i don't remember. [03:32] dfkmas, You need to download the Flash10 from the Adobe Page, let me see if I can find the link. [03:32] what is the impetus for 2.6.30? I have seen a number of questions about compiling and installing it [03:32] th0r: i think it was a torrented version of ubuntu. so probably old. [03:32] Frank83: if i run sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer i will get same file as you trying to find.. [03:33] dfkmas, Then, just extract it in ~/.mozilla/plugins [03:33] its .deb files.. [03:33] Godzuki: that isn't old...it is new...I don't think it is available for Jaunty [03:33] dfkmas, The way I am telling you does not involve using a Deb or synaptic at all. [03:33] th0r: so I don't have jaunty? [03:34] Godzuki: are you by any chance running +1? Karmic? [03:34] Frank83: so which one do i need to download? tar.gz or .rpm? [03:34] dfkmas, The file name is "libflashplayer-10.0.22.87.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz" [03:34] th0r: I don't know what any of that is. This is my first install. [03:34] Godzuki: do 'lsb_release -a' [03:34] thanks, i will try that =) [03:35] th0r: ubuntu 9.04 (jaunty) [03:35] th0r: two reasons, atheros wifi and analog support for wintv usb tuners [03:35] th0r: no lsb modules are available [03:35] Godzuki: I don't know how you ended up with 2.6.30, but that is the problem [03:35] dfkmas, It contents a single file called libflashplayer.so, Which you will extract to ~/.mozilla/plugins [03:35] eth0 has stopped working on my desktop box. ifconfig eth0 says unkonwn interface. kinfocenter shows no eth0 . Network manager shows ¨new wired connection - never used¨ - any suggestions?? thx [03:36] th0r: was I not supposed to get that with jaunty? [03:36] Frank83: i will do that now, i'll be back with result.. [03:36] how can i update my ubuntu tio the latest version while online?? [03:36] anyone know how to wipe a new mp3 playr of its junk? [03:36] dfkmas, I don't know if having installed it via synaptic might have some impact on it. Try sudo apt-get remove [03:36] Godzuki: I don't think so, I just updated my repos and the latest version is 2.6.28-14 [03:37] when i try to play xvid .avi files they just close as soon as then open. what could be causing this? [03:37] can someone help me with something? [03:37] Godzuki: did you download that torrent from ubuntu.com? [03:37] what was the name of the file which need to be copyed? libflashplaer.so? [03:37] i have tried vlc and mplayer to no avail [03:37] dfkmas, Yes, If I am not wrong that's the only file inside the package [03:37] th0r: from here http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ [03:38] Anyone that can explain to me what "Beryl" is?:P [03:38] Frank83: there is to files, which map did you said? .mozzila/extensions, right? [03:38] how do I install .tar.gz applications through terminal? [03:38] Frank83: there is two files, flashplayer-installer and livflashplayer.so [03:38] hello!!! [03:39] dfkmas, ~/.mozilla/plugins [03:39] veggteppe_: beryl is gone, it merged with compiz to make compiz-fusion [03:39] th0r: ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso [03:39] anyone help please [03:39] emergency [03:39] danbhfive: Okay, so beryl and compiz is basicly the same? all rolled up into one?:) [03:40] some one can help me with amarok 2.2 [03:40] veggteppe_: yeah, basically [03:40] Godzuki: I don't know what is going on there. My next suggestion is this...reboot and in the 3 seconds it gives you press ESC. That will take you to a boot menu where I hope you will find an earlier version of the kernel. Boot into that and see if you can load ndiswrapper [03:40] i reckon can someone help me with this [03:40] Frank83: same problem again, i will try to reinstall firefox and flashplugin [03:40] Numberjumbo, googled it for you: tar zxvf /home/yoyo/file.tar.gz [03:40] I have a folder with permissions and files set to 775, and the owner set to www-data:www-data. I have a second user, rsync (group: www-data) also setup. When I try to chmod using the "rsync" user, I get "Operation not permitted" even though the group on the folder and files is correct. [03:40] Is there a reason that would happen? [03:41] thanks, temporarytao [03:41] Numberjumbo: what are you trying to install? Everything installed in ubuntu is done through synaptic [03:41] dfkmas, When I did that I hadn't installed flash via synaptic at all. [03:41] i bought a VPS, downloaded PuTTY, I have ubuntu 9.04 running on the VPS [03:41] Numberjumbo, that will just extract the files to some folder [03:41] dfkmas, The issue might be caused because of a file installed by the deb package [03:42] th0r its letting me use .28 [03:42] Numberjumbo, just read the readme file or something on how to actually install/run the program [03:42] Godzuki: bet that will work [03:42] how to enable subwoofer toshiba laptop 4 harman kardon with subwoofer, realtek alc268, alsa 1.0.20? any idea?? help me please [03:42] I am getting an xdmcp error when I start the computer. I think I need to edit the configuration file but I don't know what file it is [03:42] donaldo, use the pulseaudio device chooser [03:43] th0r: okay, so I have the terminal back up [03:43] what do i search for in add/remove to get virtual box..... [03:43] donaldo, if its not installed already, its prolly in "add/remove" [03:43] th0r: do i just do modprobe [03:43] Godzuki: yeah...sudo modprobe ndiswrapper [03:44] I have tried anything but the subwoofer is integrated. [03:44] i need the closed source version can someone walk me through installing it again? [03:44] th0r: all config files need .conf: etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper [03:44] jet_: go to the sun website, and get it there [03:44] Godzuki: well...at least it is finding it [03:44] is there somewhere i can find a list of package versions that were released with a version of ubuntu? [03:45] th0r: yay upgrade. [03:45] Godzuki: might have to reinstall the drivers [03:45] danbhfive: thanks man i think i got it i answered my own question [03:45] Frozen-Solid: packages.ubuntu.com [03:45] donaldo, i'm thinking the pulseaudio app can help you with selecting your audio channel output. if you've not tried that yet, you should [03:45] Ugh, this is a stupid question but... how do I make a program start automatically? [03:45] however, is there any way besides using a usb jump drive to take music from say, a file on a virtual machine and copy it all to a linux folder? [03:45] Godzuki: I didn't even know 2.6.30 was generally available...thought they were still cooking it. Can't believe it is in the jaunty iso [03:45] felixsulla, you want to go to administration>sessions [03:46] [03:46] my English is very bad, but my language is not found anything helpful. [03:46] danbhfive: is that the latest version of the packages for that edition, or the actual shipped with packages? [03:46] temporarytao: What if I dont have "Sessions"? [03:46] the error says "no servers were defined in the configuration file XDMCP was disabled. this can only be a configuration error. GDM has started a single server for you. you should log in and fix the configuration." [03:46] Русскоговорящие есть?;) [03:46] felixsulla, what's your version? [03:46] 9.04 [03:46] Frozen-Solid: did you look? does it not make sense? [03:47] One thing that has been bugging me, i can't seem to get the bloody ikons on the desktop small. Any ideas?:P [03:47] hi all [03:47] i'm looking right now, and no i'm confused [03:47] Godzuki: you can make that kernel your default. When you boot up, count the number of the line for that kernel (starting at the top as 0). Then in /boot/grub/menu.lst find the default line and change 0 to whatever (probably 2) [03:47] felixsulla, why is it not there? FYI, i can't explore very much for you. i'm on a #! box [03:47] temporarytao: Dont ask me. It is just not there. [03:48] Frozen-Solid: well, jaunty is the current release, hardy is LTS, and karmic is the next release [03:48] th0r: I have a blinky blue light! [03:48] Temporarytao, I think there is a command line to call it up. Let me see if I can fish it for you. [03:48] temporarytao: [03:48] Once you try but do not work for me. [03:49] How do I add "Sessions" into Admin? [03:49] Godzuki: is that good? [03:49] felixsulla, that's actually system>preferrences>sessions [03:49] danbhfive: i'm aware of that. i'm running Hardy server edition. i'm trying to find out what version of bind9 would be installed on it and i don't have physical access to the box at this very second [03:49] felixsulla, sorry 'bout that. bad short term memory [03:49] temporarytao: Ugh, its not there either [03:49] th0r: it means the usb thing is working now. [03:49] i'd like to find this out before ig et to work tomorrow morning, so i know what i need to do to make sure we're good [03:50] hmmm [03:50] Godzuki: ok....sounds like you are in business [03:50] Hi guys, I'm trying to set up my fstab to mount my files partition on boot. I [03:50] i have seemed to have copied it, but it is saying access denied [03:50] how do i change permissions [03:50] chmodd [03:50] chmod [03:50] th0r basks in the glow of minor successes [03:50] Numberjumbo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:50] fffuu [03:50] Frozen-Solid: 1:9.4.2.dfsg.P2-2ubuntu0.1 [03:50] Oh its now under "Startup Applications" [03:50] okay so i'mr eadnig this right then. thanks danbhfive [03:50] th0r how do i set the boot kernel [03:50] np [03:51] Hi guys, I'm trying to set up my fstab to mount my files partition on boot. I've added this line to the fstab: "/dev/sda5 /home/bmorris/files vfat defaults" but the mounted partition is owned by root. Is there any way that I can have it owned by my own user? [03:51] Godzuki: you must have missed it....Godzuki: you can make that kernel your default. When you boot up, count the number of the line for that kernel (starting at the top as 0). Then in /boot/grub/menu.lst find the default line and change 0 to whatever (probably 2) [03:51] th0r: it says permission denied [03:51] Godzuki: what says that? [03:52] th0r: /boot/grub/menu.lst [03:52] th0r, how do i change permissions [03:52] Godzuki: sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst [03:52] any vbox experts in here? [03:53] Godzuki: you could also 'gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst' [03:53] hey th0r if i make a seperate home partition, how big should i leave the other partition with the OS and software on it? how much does ubuntu need? [03:53] xim_: I left 35GB for linux, but only needed less than 7, so 10-12GB should be plenty for /, the rest of your drive should be /home, except a bit for swap maybe [03:54] whats the difference between gksudo and sudo? [03:54] im trying to install windows xp on a virtual machine and i get a fatal error [03:54] libtech: gksudo for gui apps, sudo for terminal apps [03:54] oh, thanks [03:54] ah ok because i was thinking like 50gb lol [03:55] What's the difference between init 6 and shutdown -r (They both do the same, but I heard the latest is "more safe" [03:55] libtech: although I almost always use sudo...old habit [03:55] what do I need to have a basic web html server is it just apache ? [03:55] arceye: you might want to consider something lighter than apache, like maybe nginx [03:55] hey guys I need some assistance with downloading VLC Media player.

[03:57] Can anyone help out a newish user with an issue where flash games and vids are choppy? [03:57] jimisrvrox1: open synaptic, highlight vlc, then right click and choose properties. From there you can get a list of dependencies [03:57] jet_: uh.. version 2.x ? [03:57] jimisrvrox1, I think that by "Executing" the .deb the system should tell you if it has any unsatisfied dependencies. [03:57] arceye: yes, nginx [03:57] hm not sure [03:58] 3.0 [03:58] can anyone help me out with this command, 1) open a terminal 2) chmod +x keymaker 3) ./keymaker . when i execute it say no file or directory.

[04:32] hello [04:33] Hi [04:33] Hi, I need help with my ubuntu, I can't connect to a WPA secured wifi, I have googled around and have came accross WPA_supplicant, I don't fully understand how to make my wifi work with this. My Wifi card is iwl3945, I'm running ubuntu Hardy with the linux headers 2.6.24-24-generic. [04:33] Davidebian: i have tried alot in the the bios, some people say the OS does play a part. my NIC will stay on if i shutdown using windows, but not in ubuntu [04:33] php on ubuntu,p google [04:33] good bye, sorry for the auto connect , my first time using ubuntu + xchat :) [04:33] and didnt know it would auto connect to here [04:34] anyways, peace [04:34] i use the XCHat [04:34] the latest php in aptitude is 5.2 [04:34] can anyone here help with a Ubuntu PowerPC question? [04:35] alt-f2 no longer brings up a text box for a command, and looking in system/prefs/keyboard shortcuts i see nothing about bringing up that box as a shortcut. can anyone assist in recreating it? [04:35] Bryan_sierra,PowerPC question,please copy the question in this page [04:35] ? [04:36] (i assume i just need to know what the command to invoke it is) [04:36] johnli, ? [04:36] yes? [04:36] johnli, I'm not sure what that last sentence means. [04:36] copy the question in what page? [04:37] Hi, I need help with my ubuntu, I can't connect to a WPA secured wifi, I have googled around and have came accross WPA_supplicant, I don't fully understand how to make my wifi work with this. My Wifi card is iwl3945, I'm running ubuntu Hardy with the linux headers 2.6.24-24-generic. [04:37] oh,in this page [04:38] Shawnc,you must update your system [04:38] can anyone copy and paste the command they have under keyboard shortcuts for alt-f2 please? [04:38] ubuntu should work "out of the box" with WPA [04:39] johnli? [04:39] B1OS: be sure pxe doesn't matter. pxe is for booting and loading an operating system by network. to boot from local by LAN signal there is wake on line [04:39] wade, it never has... [04:39] What happens when you try to connect? [04:39] just stays with no dots [04:39] lit up [04:39] none or lit up for a long time.. [04:39] so i have this libflashplayer.so file where do i move it [04:39] to make it work as flash [04:40] caOs [04:40] have you connected to other networks without encryption? [04:40] yes wade [04:40] i can connect to wep and non-password protected. [04:40] can anyone copy and paste the command they have under keyboard shortcuts for alt-f2 please? [04:40] B1OS: about the OS influence: afaik, os can do nothing [04:40] Davidebian: the are two different options in the bios for 'OS install mode' and a different one for 'intergrated NIC with PXE' [04:40] Barridus: huh? [04:41] Have you tried WEP? I am just asking to kind of rule out all possible senarios. [04:41] ø20:40:10ø ShawnC • yes wade [04:41] ø20:40:18ø ShawnC • i can connect to wep and non-password protected. [04:41] racecar56, is there not a command linked to alt-f2 by default? (you know, should be the input box for a command) [04:41] Barridus: yeah [04:41] B1OS: what do they list ? [04:42] wade ø20:40:18ø ShawnC • i can connect to wep and non-password protected. [04:42] racecar56, yes as in yes there is nothing listed like that? [04:42] I have the iwl4965 on my laptop and use WPA2 with no problems. Let me see if I can find some info by looking at my system. [04:42] hi [04:42] Barridus: yes as in there is something listed if i was using gnome at the moment [04:42] wade, i want WPA not WPA2 :P [04:43] Davidebian: well, thats is what they list.. its two totally different options. i leave OS install mode OFF, and intergrted NIC, ON [04:43] racecar56, i need to recreated that shortcut and can't seem to find what the command listed there is, and need someone to copy and paste whatever the default is for alt-f2 [04:44] recreate* [04:44] Barridus: i'd guess it would be something like gnome-run but i don't know [04:44] when you try to connect does it ask for a password? [04:45] B1OS: i dont' think they are the hot spot. what about the boot device order? [04:45] yes wade. [04:45] can anyone copy and paste the command they have under keyboard shortcuts for alt-f2 please? [04:45] I enter the password. And it won't connect. [04:45] but now i tried some command and now it's all fucked up, say's im connected but it's accually plugged in that's connected [04:45] but it says wired is conected [04:45] ... [04:45] Davidebian, i keep the NIC second in the list under hard disk [04:47] hey wade.. [04:47] how do i fix that? [04:47] yes? [04:47] sudo wpa-supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -D wired -i eth0 [04:47] not sure on that one you could have done anything depending on the command [04:47] i did that command, how do i undo it? [04:47] B1OS: eh. I think it's found. try take nik first. elsewere it boots from hard disk [04:48] Davidebian, i dont think that will effect it but i will try it and get back to you [04:49] B1o whait! [04:49] B1OS: you don't think? [04:49] yeah [04:49] :) [04:49] lol [04:49] B1OS: do you have an hard disk plugged from where you boot? [04:49] hold on [04:50] what do you mesn [04:50] *mean [04:50] anyone know the command to invoke a 'run' dialog? (like what alt-f2 does) [04:51] Davidebian, i will try it. i will still be logged in here on my over computer :) [04:51] mean that if nic is second, the harddisk (that is first) boot leaving the nic off [04:51] so i have this libflashplayer.so file where do i move it to make flash player work? [04:52] Barridus: The default run dialog is part of gnome-panel [04:52] Davidebian, even if the nic was last in the list, then shutdown from windows.. the nic will be on still (lights on) [04:52] soreau, the keystroke is broken for me, i'm trying to do what i can to recreate/diagnose it [04:53] or replace it [04:53] Barridus: Do you have window borders visible? [04:53] but i will try [04:53] soreau yes [04:53] what's the meaning of "sfptp-yr"? [04:54] so... wade? [04:54] Who was saying about people fcking up their own comps? That it's not just bad luck? [04:55] B1OS: i really don't know about os, like you say. but can just try that [04:55] I am trying to figure out the command it appears to have edited wpa_supplicant.conf.

[05:22] ShawnC: wireless is not my area [05:22] No I made a clean install on my new computer [05:23] InCubaTor: I wouldn't be surprised at anything with that kernel...have seen several here recently who had problems of various sorts after th eupgrade [05:23] i am having a kernel problem, im on installatin phase... what to do guys? [05:23] BobTheBlueBerry, ok was there an ubuntu install on the hard drive already when you did this "clean install? [05:23] well can someone tell me how to revert from doing https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Network802.1xAuthentication... [05:23] sebsebseb: i've looked, but i must not be using the right keywords in my search, because all i've been able to find is network traffic monitors for the computer the program is running on [05:23] This is getting very annoying. [05:23] th0r: ok. thanks [05:23] No it was a new computer with crappyvista on it [05:24] BobTheBlueBerry, mmm [05:24] InCubaTor: you should have the last kernel still in the box, press ESC at bootup [05:24] !language | BobTheBlueBerry [05:24] BobTheBlueBerry: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. === fred_ is now known as Guest66432 [05:24] BobTheBlueBerry, that is strange [05:24] slt [05:24] I know it's creepy [05:24] BobTheBlueBerry, I can understand y our info showing up if you had an ubuntu install on the hard drive already but not with vista [05:25] BobTheBlueBerry, did you transfer over a saved home directory? [05:25] No [05:25] BobTheBlueBerry, then I am puzzled why old info would show up if the old info was not on the drive or transferred over o0 [05:26] I did give i think the hardware testing thing my launchpad login [05:26] th0r: thanks. i know ill just edit menu.lst back to 2.6.28-13 [05:26] But I don't think that stuff is stored in launchpad [05:26] I'm having trouble with my dvd drives. I just burned a file from another computer on a DVD-RW, works fine elsewhere, but when I put it in this machine either nothing happens or it's recognized as a blank (recognized as blank if I put it in, nothing happens, back out, back in). It also hasn't been recognizing blank disks correctly & burning doesn't always work. The drive works well in other computers & before I upgraded [05:26] guys, im having an error "the installer cannot find a suitable kernel package to install" help me guys [05:26] BobTheBlueBerry, that I am not sure of [05:27] HOW DO I REVERT BACK FROM DOING https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Network802.1xAuthentication NO WIFIS WORK NOW. [05:27] th0r: atleast if the problem persists [05:27] !caps | ShawnC [05:27] ShawnC: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. === nabeel is now known as Guest88362 [05:27] !patience | ShawnC [05:27] ShawnC: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [05:27] guys, im having an error "the installer cannot find a suitable kernel package to install" help me guys [05:27] InCubaTor: I have frozen my install...no more updates...don't need the aggravation [05:27] alazyworkaholic: I see, well someone else had issues burning DVD not that long ago, and me pretty recently [05:27] how do i revert back from doing: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Network802.1xAuthentication no wifis work now. [05:27] My current external hdd allows me to write on it in ubuntu, but not in os x. The permissions are: brw-rw----. Do I need to change this? [05:27] alazyworkaholic: K3B would always go bad, then eventaully I get lucky with Brasero [05:28] how do i revert back from doing: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Network802.1xAuthentication no wifis work now. [05:28] alazyworkaholic: normalley those two programs should work great, and my DVD drive as far as I know is fine, so I wonder if maybe there are bugs in the versions 9.04 has or something [05:28] guys, im having an error "the installer cannot find a suitable kernel package to install" help me guys [05:28] sebsebseb: I've tried brasero, k3b, gnomebaker... [05:28] alazyworkaholic: plus I think there was someone in here not that long ago with a similar issue, so makes me wonder [05:29] ShawnC: I would uninstall the wpa-supplicant package and delete /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf then reinstall wpa_supplicant to rebuild the conf file. [05:29] is there a way to take files from an virtual machine and copy them to the user? [05:29] th0r: lol... sounds reasonable [05:29] wade [05:29] i have no problem with wpasupplicant [05:29] alazyworkaholic: well there could be a bug in Ubuntu that effects all of those programs [05:29] the problem is from this command: sudo wpa-supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -D wired -i eth0 [05:29] how can i format an external hard drive in terminal? [05:29] alazyworkaholic: have you got another computer around with Windows on it or something? [05:30] It sounds like you bound the wireless to the wired based on the page you have referenced. [05:30] alazyworkaholic: and a DVD burner of course [05:30] * roved2101 gives sebsebseb a big hug [05:30] any suggestions on how to get my built in cam working? [05:30] BellinXFelon: what file system? ext3, ext4, ntfs? [05:30] ext3 [05:30] sebsebseb: this one dual boots w XP. I have two burners. One new SATA & one old PATA that both worked fine. [05:31] th0r : ext3 [05:31] alazyworkaholic: if so you could burn on there, plus I have another idea [05:31] BellinXFelon: I think it is makefs.ext3 /dev/sda3 (or whatever device partition you want) [05:31] the command you ran that messed things up only referenced 1 file that is wpa_supplicant. [05:31] alazyworkaholic: ok so it works in XP on there? [05:31] it says "Connected to wireless network", but doesn't accualy connect now since i did this command: sudo wpa-supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -D wired -i eth0 [05:31] sebsebseb: yes, flawless, just like 8.04 [05:31] ShawnC: maybe boot live-cd copy over the files you edited,start with a known good,or generic setup [05:32] anyone got some time for a couple virtual box questions? [05:32] how do i turn off these stupid join/leave messages? [05:32] alazyworkaholic: I think in the past I have burnt DVD's without problems with Ubuntu, I think there may be an issue with 9.04 that is effecting some of us, or many of us, just no one knows it's a bug in this case [05:32] th0r: that did not work [05:32] alazyworkaholic: there could be a bug, but I woudn't know [05:32] sebsebseb: I'm certain it's not the drives themselves. Do you know if an alternative DVD access system exists? Something that would be used by all/most dvd writing programs? [05:33] nomad77? [05:33] alazyworkaholic: well I even tried imgburn in Wine, but then the drive woudn't be detected in it [05:33] will that remove my stuff? [05:33] after I upgraded to 9.04 I couldn't burn over 16x anymore. I have a 24x burner but I have to set it to 16x or it coasters the disk [05:33] alazyworkaholic: How much RAM do you have? [05:33] Hey everyone I just got a new laptop for college what would you reccomend as the best way to get my entire desktop from my current ubuntu box to my laptop? [05:33] BellinXFelon: checking...been a while since I did that [05:33] My current external hdd allows me to write on it in ubuntu, but not in os x. The permissions are: brw-rw----. Do I need to change this? [05:34] alazyworkaholic: and what kind of DVD's are you trying to burn? [05:34] where can i find the chrome.css in firefox so i can edit? [05:34] mikebot: your issue is probably with Mac OS X, so try #mac [05:34] or is it ##mac [05:34] AnActivist: install ubuntu, rsync over your home directory, install the packages you want to use [05:34] th0r: its mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1 [05:34] sebsebseb: it doesn't have to do with permissions? [05:34] th0r: i need to unmount first === hazza is now known as n00b101 [05:34] I was close [05:34] mikebot: permissions are for OS's not external hard disks [05:34] th0r: how do i do that [05:35] sebsebseb: Ah, OK. Thanks [05:35] Dulak, alright thanks I have already installed ubuntu on my laptop, so I will look up rsync, thank you very much [05:35] BellinXFelon: sudo umount /dev/sdb1 [05:35] mikebot: then OS's such as Ubuntu will give permissions to things [05:35] anyone here use sshfs? I am having an issue with password-less login. It worked before for SSH, but once I setup sshfs, it stopped working, but not immediately, only after a while. Error: "Connection reset by peer" [05:35] mikebot: it's ##mac by the way [05:35] sebsebseb: K, well, thanks then. [05:36] THanks [05:36] mikebot: np good luck [05:36] thanks [05:37] sebsebseb: sorry, had to go for a sec, 2GB, DVD-RW (-) [05:38] im looking for a good way to backup my system..... any reccomendations? [05:39] alazyworkaholic: Does your DVD drive use USB? [05:39] jet:http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/backup [05:40] sebsebseb: other weird behaviour that I've been living with is that nothing is detected & cannot be ejected (file could not be mounted error) when there are in fact blank disks in the drives, & that sometimes the burn finishes & seems perfect on another computer but I'm told it failed at the end of the burning process. I have one new SATA drive, one old PATA drive, same problems for both. No USB. [05:41] alazyworkaholic: so you are getting stuff burnt that then works on the other computer? [05:41] alazyworkaholic: and using Ubuntu? [05:42] hey I need some webcam help [05:42] You're outta luck dude [05:42] another kernel update [05:42] install cheese [05:43] some_dude: I agree....install cheese. [05:43] some program as seeing, kopete and webcam, but others wont [05:43] sebsebseb: yes, I'm able to burn in 9.04 (at least when the disk's properly detected) but sometimes receive error messages at the end that don't seem to affect the readability of the dvd. [05:43] can't wait for them to implement where a reboot is not required on kernel updates [05:43] Would it be easier than using rsync if I just connected my laptop and my desktop over my lan? [05:44] and cheese is working [05:44] but I would like to stream it [05:44] alazyworkaholic: well I was thinking do XP in a Virtualbox vm, the closed source one for linux hosts from http://www.virtualbox.org and then burn stuff with that, and yes I know this sounds a bit sucky really, but it would probably work [05:44] alazyworkaholic: the closed is the one with USB support [05:44] not sure on how to do that. [05:44] does anybody know how i can get ubuntu 9.04 to detect my wirless pci card. it used to work. even after a few reinstalls now it suddenley isnt detecting it [05:45] alazyworkaholic: then of course you could probably virtual machine another distro, or older version of Ubuntu, and burn with that, and not get the problems, well worth a try I suppouse [05:45] pcbuilder97: did you do an online update after the install? [05:45] hey can someone please help me i'm new to ubuntu i hve just install ubuntu 9 and i have no idea how to remote connect from my xp pc [05:45] pcbuilder97: have you reseated the card === adalberto is now known as MASTERSTATU31 [05:46] I had a vm with kvm a while ago that I may reinstall. I suppose I'll just wait for 9.10 to read & burn easily. [05:46] yes i updated and rebooted the device it wont detect it [05:46] MASTERSTATU31: did you want to connect do a terminal prompt, or to your desktop? [05:46] adalberto: you need a vnc client to do that. [05:46] FROM MY XP PC TO MY UBUNTU DESKTOP [05:46] !vnc | MASTERSTATU31 [05:46] MASTERSTATU31: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [05:46] sorry about the caps [05:46] MASTERSTATU31: and you don't need to tunnel it over SSH, when it's done over a local area network [05:46] i usualy does right after i i8nstall ubuntu. its ask for resrticted drivers. but i just did a reinstall and now nuthing. so i reinstalled agin still nuthing [05:47] MASTERSTATU31: ssh, X, vnc, screen [05:47] oook thanks a lot ill tray it [05:47] is thare a command that will force detectin of new hardware like in windows??? [05:47] MASTERSTATU31: good luck! [05:47] pcbuilder97: reboot and at the start press ESC. I suspect you have the latest kernel 28-14, but try using 28.13 from the bootup menu [05:48] for something secure, there are alot of vulnerability updates for kernel, python, pulseaudio, etc.. kind of puzzling to me but ok [05:50] ill try it. oh one more thing i remember it stoped working right after adding a pci 54k modem i removed the moden reinstalled everything even reset the bios. i dont know why that would cause the problem but it did [05:50] anyone here use sshfs? I am having an issue with password-less login. It worked before for SSH, but once I setup sshfs, it stopped working, but not immediately, only after a while. Error: "Connection reset by peer" [05:50] nuthing looks loose or broken either [05:51] in the open source community things are patched on a daily basis not a monthly basis like Micor$oft [05:51] ill try booting with esc. ill be back if it dosent work. bye for now [05:51] nvm I'm using giver this is perfect [05:52] ok, so other than cheese, what else do we have ? [05:52] i just unmounted an external hd from my system how do i get it back [05:52] i used sudo umount [05:52] sudo mount -a ? [05:53] BellinXFelon: plug it back in? [05:53] BellinXFelon: sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /media/ [05:53] th0r : thank you [05:53] BellinXFelon: assuming the dev and file type are correct [05:54] th0r : bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline' [05:55] do i NEED to have rsyslogd running [05:55] how would I do a wildcard to remoe all the files in a dir at once ? [05:55] BellinXFelon: what is the mountpoint? [05:55] remove* [05:56] arceye rm -rf *.exe [05:56] or rm -rf * [05:56] Make sure your in the directory [05:56] ok [05:56] arceye rm -rf ./* [05:56] some_dude: the progs you are having trouble with you should look at individually because there is probly a setting that needs to be changed in the programs themselves. [05:56] arceye: be VERY VERY careful with rm -rf, especially if you are combining it with sudo [05:56] !rm [05:56] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [05:57] I'm thinking it's a v4l2 driver, I'm wondering if anyone can direct me to a program [05:57] th0r : im not sure. how do i find out [05:57] can't get into the dir :( access denied [05:57] if cheese is working then the other programs should work too. [05:58] cheese is not working for me. what are the first steps I need to take to get my web cam working? [05:58] arceye: what, exactly, is the directory you're looking to delete? [05:58] arceye: is this directory within your home directory? === mikebot is now known as mike [05:58] BellinXFelon: you have to have a place, a folder or directory, to mount the drive to === mike is now known as mikebot [05:58] etc/gadmin-proftpd/ gadmin been uninstalled [05:58] nope [05:58] th0r : it says /dev/sdb1 [05:59] th0r : the mountpoint is just / [05:59] the dir is not empty but i can't delete the files unless done 1 at a time [05:59] BellinXFelon: usually such mountpoints are in /media...open a terminal and type 'mkdir /media/' where is the mount point you want to use [05:59] this is a stupid question [05:59] where do downloads go in firefox? [05:59] arceye: if you are SURE: sudo rm -rf /etc/gadmin-proftpd [05:59] not sure kama I still wrestle with my laptop once in a while hoping one day I will get it to work. On a positive note I have gotten other webcams working but they were already detected. [05:59] BellinXFelon: is sdb1 the drive you want to mount? [05:59] i restarted and dunno where to look [05:59] where you tell firefox jet_ [05:59] yes [05:59] arceye: your package manager should have removed the directory upon uninstallation. Try purging the configs by doing: apt-get purge gadmin [05:59] wade: where do i check to see if it is detected? [06:00] BellinXFelon: that is the drive you just formatted, correct? [06:00] by default go to de desktop carpet jet_ [06:00] th0r: no i haven't formatted it yet [06:00] done the delete thing now [06:00] th0r: i want to format it [06:00] that works too I suppose [06:00] the package remover never removed proftpd dir either [06:00] Can anyone recommend me a nice and simple Bind9 GUI? [06:00] so, another dumb one. [06:01] i think proftpd is far to much for my needs [06:01] i found out how to open up the firefox dl window, and its there, but it didnt STAY anywhere [06:01] arceye: again, I stress to be ABSOLUTELY sure about what you're doing when you mix sudo with rm -rf [06:01] BellinXFelon: you format it before you mount it. 'sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1' without the quotes [06:01] if you use "apt-get purge " it deletes all configuration files as well [06:01] try this page and see if it helps Kama "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam" [06:01] do all .deb files do this? [06:01] BellinXFelon: you wanted it formatted ext3, right? [06:01] usually just removing the package retains the config files [06:01] jet_: what are you talking about¿¿ [06:01] th0r : mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1 [06:01] mke2fs 1.41.4 (27-Jan-2009) [06:01] Could not stat /dev/sdb1 --- No such file or directory [06:01] The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly? [06:01] jet_: in your firefox preferences you can set the download dir, or have it prompt you everything. Try using the Desktop if you lose stuff :) [06:01] BellinXFelon: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:01] its done there is nothing on this box that is important I am just learning to set it up so if all else fails its format and start again :) [06:02] ok [06:02] howdy :) [06:02] after an install of jaunty to a separate partition, hardy will not boot. the selection is in the grub menu, but it loads the splash screen and stays there. recovery mode does freezes. any ideas? [06:02] BellinXFelon: you need sudo [06:02] meh [06:02] -does [06:02] lol [06:02] i lost it [06:02] whoops [06:02] BellinXFelon: you are sure it is sdb1? [06:02] ah i know what happened now nvm [06:02] th0r : same thing happened [06:02] so what does -rf do then ? [06:03] recursive force [06:03] arceye: -f forces it to remove everything, -r recurses through subdirectories [06:03] BellinXFelon: did you partition the drive already? [06:03] arceye: so a typo could potentially wipe your hard drives and any network or external media. [06:03] thanks ( not that i will remember) but the more i play the more i learn [06:04] BellinXFelon: is it a usb drive? Is it already formatted and you want to reformat it?

[06:04] kama: Google Earth? ;) [06:04] kama: Seaclear runs under wine in linux [06:04] th0r : yes and yes, i want it to be wiped clean [06:04] i beendoing windows admin for years but linux I just could never grasp the basic concept === Shawn__ is now known as ShawnC [06:05] <--- needs gui , mouse , point and click :) [06:05] arceye: sometimes the best way to learn is to just dive in and get your hands dirty, so to speak :) [06:05] what is with that prick luis? how do i ignore someone? [06:05] BellinXFelon: are you sure it is partitioned? Is it formatted for windows now and you want to reformat it? [06:05] arceye: there's usually almost always a gui way to do things in Linux as well as command line [06:06] arceye: there's even a gui for ping... o.O [06:06] Can anyone recommend me a nice and simple Bind9 GUI? [06:06] Kama are you wanting GPS? [06:06] its what I am doing this time I intend to stick it out m I have no choice I ran out of windows licences :) [06:06] yes [06:06] since there's guis for everything... =P [06:06] is there a way to refresh the upper bar after you install something [06:06] something to hook into my nav gear [06:06] Author: I've heard good things about Webmin [06:06] try this "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuGIS" [06:06] is there a gui for irssi ? : P [06:06] no [06:06] kama: there isn't anything that will interface the gps and such [06:06] nisstyre: xchat? :p [06:06] lol, ok not ALL, but a lot [06:06] th0r : no i installed xubunut 8.04 onto it, then upgraded my main hd to kubunut 9.04, and now it wont let me write to it so i want to wipe it clean [06:06] lol, that's what I'm using [06:07] Hi, I am getting VERY pissed off, I can't even connect to wireless networks, i did what you suggested uninstall wpasupplicant then the 2 computer things at the top right disappeard and the internet went away, now i'm on my windows boot and i installed wpasupplicant onto my flash stick... i installed it on my ubuntu but still can't connect to the internet... what can i do to fix this. [06:07] Ghoti: Webmin is soooo big.. and has so many dependencies... I was thinking something more standalone [06:07] is there a small ftp server app that doesn't need much configuring and has a gui ? [06:07] BellinXFelon: well, the write issue is something else, but we will take care of the formatting first. Are you sure it is /dev/sdb1? [06:07] th0r: fairly sure [06:07] arceye: 'small' and 'has a GUI' are often mutually exclusive :) [06:07] thor i think mentioned vftp ( or similar ) [06:07] I am looking for something like maxsea [06:08] i installed ubuntu onto my home external drive and skipped grub when i installed it to the drive. [06:08] i installed it to partition #2, is there a way in windows that i can get the bios to recognize the operating system when i try and boot from the external hard drive? [06:08] Hi, I am getting VERY pissed off, I can't even connect to wireless networks, i did what you suggested uninstall wpasupplicant then the 2 computer things at the top right disappeard and the internet went away, now i'm on my windows boot and i installed wpasupplicant onto my flash stick... i installed it on my ubuntu but still can't connect to the internet... what can i do to fix this. [06:08] th0r: when i typed in umount the comp froze up and it crashed, now kubuntu wont recognize it [06:08] shawn: it is better to be pissed off than to be pissed on [06:09] BellinXFelon: is the drive plugged in now? [06:09] Hi, I can't even connect to wireless networks, i did what you suggested uninstall wpasupplicant then the 2 computer things at the top right disappeard and the internet went away, now i'm on my windows boot and i installed wpasupplicant onto my flash stick... i installed it on my ubuntu but still can't connect to the internet... what can i do to fix this.

Unplug the drive. Then in the terminal type 'tail -f /var/log/messages', then plug in the drive. You should see half a dozen new lines show up in the terminal...pastebin those [06:24] wade: yes, I have [06:25] i installed ubuntu onto my home external drive and skipped grub when i installed it to the drive. [06:25] I hit ctrl+aly+f7 and it said something about gnome display manager and just sat there [06:25] i installed it to partition #2, is there a way in windows that i can get the bios to recognize the operating system when i try and boot from the external hard drive? [06:25] WW3: probably not [06:26] ok [06:26] !grub | WW3 [06:26] WW3: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[06:27] i saw that after i pasted it in sorry i was a little bit busy when i was typing and didn't catch that [06:28] thank you then, have a good evening! [06:28] BellinXFelon: it isn't recognizing that drive at all. My first thought would be to start from a cold boot without plugging in the drive, then type that tail command and plug in the drive. If it doesn't see the drive then, it is probably a hardware fault in the drive. But right now, until it finds the drive, you can't do anything with it [06:28] any of you guys hear about itshidden vpn? [06:28] dustan123: this may be an acpi issue check out this link "http://www.brighthub.com/computing/linux/articles/39504.aspx" === Shawnc is now known as ShawnC [06:28] wade: I will take a look and get back to you. [06:28] Hi, BellinXFelon it doesn't work. [06:29] BellinXFelon: if it does see the drive, when you plug it in you should see messages about what /dev it is...probably /dev/sdb, and what partitions are there, probably /dev/sdb1 [06:29] !details | dustan123 [06:29] dustan123: 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 ..." [06:29] wade: you know how theres the 2 computers at the top right of the screen when it's lan, and when it's wifi it's like the scale thing, i don't even see that anymore... [06:30] wade: i removed wpasupplicant then reinstalled it but it's all messed up now, please help me someone if wades not aroudn. [06:31] th0r : http://paste.ubuntu.com:80/235646/ [06:31] someone help me? [06:32] BellinXFelon: ? you can help me, you told me those commands, they didn't put the icon back :( [06:32] Anybody familiar with using NVIDIA linux drivers? [06:32] BellinXFelon: there we go. You see there are three partitions there....sdb1,2 and 5 [06:32] you may have accidentally uninstalled other packages that were connected to wpa_supplicant. I would try installing network manager although I don't know all the dependancies. [06:32] ShawnC : that is all i know, try restarting your computer [06:32] i did. [06:32] I'm on windows. [06:32] ZOMBE: what's the problem? [06:32] I had to reboot to try it to boot into linux.. now i'm back on windows cuz it won't work. [06:32] th0r : yes my main installation of kubuntu 9.04 is on sda1 [06:33] BellinXFelon: no...the printout you just put in pastebin...it shows sdb and shows three partitions on that drive, 1,2 and 5. [06:33] ShawnC: you may have accidentally uninstalled other packages that were connected to wpa_supplicant. I would try installing network manager although I don't know all the dependencies. [06:33] BellinXFelon: are you sure you don't want anything on that drive? [06:33] When I first installed Ubuntu I upgraded the drivers to 1.85, yet when Ubuntu loaded anytime I scrolled it was laggy, like the drivers didn't work. I decided to use the built in Hardware drivers, which uses 1.80. What could I have done wrong that causes 1.85 to become buggy? The setup seem to have worked properly. [06:34] ShawnC: in xterm type gnome-panel --restart maybe or right-click panel,add the applet [06:34] th0r: anything related to sdb1 i want gone [06:34] what applet? [06:34] ZOMBE: how'd you install the 185 drivers? Envy-ng? [06:34] network manager [06:34] th0r : the other 2 are just swap and extension [06:34] network-manager [06:34] BellinXFelon: just sdb1? ok 'sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1' should work now [06:34] ok [06:35] cellowfellow: No idea what Envy-ng is. I used the terminal to kill xorg and installed it through the dos like screen. [06:35] ZOMBE: gotta remember that generally the nvidia drivers are considered the very definition of buggy. [06:35] th0r : will i be able to write to it once its done [06:35] BellinXFelon: you will have to create a mountpoint and mount it, but yes, you should be able to write to it. [06:35] ZOMBE: so, you downloaded the tarball from the nvidia website and installed it manually? [06:36] th0r : will you help me get to that point [06:36] BellinXFelon: yeah...let's get it reformatted, then the rest is easy [06:36] cellofellow: that's correct. Only way I know to do it. Took forever to finally get it to install. Been using Windows since 3.1, so I am all new to Linux. [06:36] ZOMBE: try sudo nvidia-settings and check them [06:36] th0r : ok [06:36] shawn@Shawn-laptop:~$ gnome-panel --restart [06:36] Unknown option --restart [06:36] !nvidia [06:36] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [06:37] th0r : wow this may take a minute [06:37] nomad77: What am I checking for? [06:37] BellinXFelon: yeah...it will take a couple [06:37] ShawnC: try restarting your gnome-desktop,logout,login then [06:37] th0r : ill be back [06:37] what does this mean "sudo usermod -d /srv/ftp ftp" ? [06:37] ZOMBE: the problem probably stems from the fact that the packaged nvidia drivers (the 180 drivers) have been tested somewhat, while the binaries you download from nvidia will be... not optimal to say the least. [06:37] restart gnome-desktop? [06:37] how? [06:37] ZOMBE: depends on your card i guess [06:37] ZOMBE: what is it that the 185 drivers offer that you want anyway, besides a newer number? [06:38] arceye: who told you to do that? [06:38] cellofellow: So what should I do? Some games I play doesn't allow me to access their settings in 1.80. [06:38] I read it from ubuntu part of the install of vsftp [06:38] ZOMBE: games that don't let you access the settings when you use 180 drivers? What's this? [06:38] So basically I want nvidia-glx-177 ? [06:38] arceye: that creates a user directory in /srv/ftp for the user ftp [06:38] ShawnC: logout,login or reboot it [06:38] but I could follow it blind or I could ask what its telling me to do :) [06:38] k [06:39] Runescape, sad to say... It's not recognizing my 3d settings. It has a high detail and low detail mode. High detail mode isn't working... [06:39] arceye: ah...ftp is going to log anonymous users as user ftp and their home directory will be /srv/ftp....it will probably jail them there to protect the rest of the system [06:39] ZOMBE: oh, that's probably a Java problem, not nvidia. [06:40] anonymous user have no access (it says by default they do ) but they don't :( [06:40] cellowfello: Before sitching to Ubuntu it worked in Vista Ultimate? I figured it couldn't be a Ubuntu problem since it's like you said Java, so my next guess was video drivers. [06:40] what is the most advanced graphics card, in terms of 3D acceleration of the free/open-srource linux driver? [06:40] *cellofellow* [06:40] arceye: yeah....vsftp stands for 'very secure' [06:40] is there a wiki page for that? [06:41] i thought it stood for we gonna put files all over the plce and mke you find them before you an edit them :) [06:41] ZOMBE: java is more prone to configuration errors and bugs than you give it credit for. [06:41] arceye: that too [06:41] ZOMBE: what Java VM are you using? [06:41] this is fun and after I spend days getitng it working i going to blank the drive and start again [06:41] arceye: linux is a test. If you get it to work, you deserve to have it working [06:42] cellofellow: Why would it work in Vista, but not Ubuntu? I formatted 3 times trying to fix this, and nothing has worked. The Sun Java 6, if that's what you're asking. [06:42] ZOMBE: ok, so exactly what is happening? Is Runescape attempting to detect your video configuration but failing so not allowing you to run the HQ version? [06:42] as I sadi earlier its a box that I want set up but I don't care about it in any way so I have nothing to lose I have a windows box doing the job at the moment [06:42] I am sorry but how am I setting acpi to off in the menu.lst file> [06:42] ZOMBE: a more appropriate question would be 'Why did it work in Vista' [06:43] cellofellow: basically when you log in you can select standard or high definition modes. When I select high definition I get a error saying can't detect video settings. [06:43] liwhat filesystem would allow me to take the most out of a 1tb harddisk? [06:43] what* [06:43] its just fun trying to follow instructions from sites that always want me to work from cli and i want point and click :) [06:44] ZOMBE: ok, so how does Java detect video settings so it can report them to Runescape? [06:44] dustan123: on the kernel line you will find a bunch of options at the end of the line, just add acpi=off to the end of the lline [06:44] th0r: Everything seems to be easier in Windows. I actually seem to like Linux better, just Windows make things simple. [06:44] ZOMBE: cause you've obviously got good enough hardware for it to work. [06:44] thx th0r [06:44] Windows != Simple. Windows == Everyone else did it for you. [06:45] Which is why Windows is in my opinion very hard to fix when broken. [06:45] In ease of use, how does OpenSUSE compare to Ubuntu? [06:45] hehe dude everyone else is doing my nix box for me too :) [06:45] cellofellow: honestly I don't know how that works. I got a dual core AMD so I definitely know it's not me. The exact error is "RuneScape was unable to enter the chosen display mode" [06:45] " [06:45] opensuse failed to even install in my box when i tried it [06:45] haha [06:45] and mandriva worked the box way to hard [06:45] Like, are RPMs hard to use at first? [06:45] dustan123: read through the file. There is a kernel line that starts with # . If you add the option there as well it will be automatically added every time there is a kernel update [06:46] ZOMBE: what's your video card? My lappy is dual core AMD but I wouldn't say it's a graphics beast with this GeForce Go 6100. [06:46] 82000M [06:46] ZOMBE: ok, yeah. [06:46] after an install of jaunty to a separate partition, hardy will not boot. the selection is in the grub menu, but it loads the splash screen and stays there. recovery mode freezes. any ideas? [06:46] ZOMBE: did installing the 185 drivers fix this, or did it not? [06:47] cellofellw: I mean I play any game I want just fine, just can't understand why it's choosing to not work in Ubuntu. Not the best built-in video card, but it does fine. [06:47] Ok [06:47] Now only wifi's are able to connect too, but wifi';s don't work. [06:47] It did. But It was really buggy. [06:47] I can't connect to them but it only shows them, won't show the wired network. [06:48] cellofellow: Have you ever opened up the internet before installing video drivers? Everytime you scroll it lags horribly and goes really slow... That's what happened after I installed 1.85. It was acting as if there were no drivers. [06:48] ZOMBE: ? [06:48] that happens on windows too [06:48] cellofellow: When I installed 1.85 RuneScape ran properly, just the video drivers were acting buggy. [06:49] nomad77: [06:49] ZOMBE: so, scrolling in firefox was very slow, seemed buggy, when using the 185 drivers? [06:49] Anyone know about IOK(Indic Onscreen Keyboard)? [06:49] nomad77: I can't connect to any wifi's it lists and there are no "Wired" networks listed. [06:49] cellowfellow: Correct. But when I use the Ubuntu Hardware Drivers, everything works perfect. I am not sure what I did wrong in the install process. [06:50] ZOMBE: was it just firefox where the scrolling was laggy or was it any app? [06:50] Ok. [06:50] Now it just randomly dc'd me. [06:50] nomad77: you have anything that can help me? [06:51] cellofellow: Any applications. When I try to access Display under systems I even get "It appears that your graphics driver does not support the necessary extensions to use this tool." [06:51] like the clock-applet calender is there a applet for email? [06:51] ZOMBE: that'd be why you use Nvidia Settings instead of that XRandR GUI tool thing. [06:52] my computer dont know alot of the hardware on my computer is there a way to fix that? [06:52] ZOMBE: sounds like all you need to do is tweak the 185 drivers. I say install them with Envy-NG and tinker a bit. [06:52] !info envy-ng [06:52] Package envy-ng does not exist in jaunty [06:52] !envy [06:52] EnvyNG is a program to install newer version of nVidia or ATi drivers, it can be found in !Universe as "envyng-gtk" (for Gtk/Gnome) or "envyng-qt" (for Qt/KDE). It is NOT a supported method to install video drivers; please only use it if standard methods fail and at your own risk - See also !BinaryDriver [06:52] cellofellow: Where can I find Envy-NG? [06:52] ZOMBE: install envyng-gtk with Synaptic. [06:52] ShawnC: you must have removed a lot,hard to know what you may have changed or removed [06:52] you may have to enable some new sources... [06:52] hi somebody has a link for good mechanical keyboard or cheap stainless keyboard or keyboard like happy hacking keyboard but just more cheap ? [06:53] cellowfellow: What exacly does the problem do? [06:53] i removed wpa_supplicant that's it. [06:53] ZOMBE: it installs the latest nvidia or ati drivers in a GUI way, less likely to screw up. [06:54] way is there somemeny problems with linux and compatibility with hardware [06:54] cellowfellow: Do I still have to go to NVIDIA's website to download them? Or will this work kind of like the built in Add/Remove programs? [06:54] ShawnC: you try resetting your router? [06:54] uknow I've only had problem with really old hardware [06:54] how will taht help my desktop problems? [06:54] ZOMBE: no, you install EnvyNG, and run it to install the drivers, which it downloads on its own. [06:54] ohh [06:55] nomad77: i removed wpasupplicant [06:55] cellowfellow: Will it show up under Applications once installed? [06:55] why don't you remove it and let me know what i need to reinstall? [06:55] ZOMBE: somewhere, yes [06:55] ZOMBE just type the name of the program in bash (terminal) [06:55] nah i have a new computer acer it barely work with ubuntu [06:56] so meany problems with hardware cuz it dont have drivers [06:56] uknow: try running Windows without manufacturer-supplied driver CDs.

[07:00] kumar, see the link I gave you above [07:00] o.k [07:00] cello, thats not necessarily true, there are some universal drivers in windows nowadays.

[07:00] I doubt it [07:00] daniz, try running it in wine [07:00] ah well !! thanks for the help guys I will be back but gotta sleep now :) [07:00] voss: VGA graphics drivers, generic ATA drivers, generic USB drivers, generic X-device drivers. [07:00] daniznewbie: maybe in dosbox,not sure [07:01] alright i've downloaded wine now how do i use it? [07:01] Linux has specific drivers for thousands of devices, Windows has generic drivers for dozens. [07:01] there might be a program that can convert it to a bash script [07:01] bazhang, i have already installed it...but my apache is not working another web server is running [07:01] nomad77: all that stuff is only for wlan, not for wired connections. [07:01] cello, also nowadays 802.11g usb drivers [07:01] is there a wine channel for ubuntu? [07:02] voss: those are standardized. All (new) 802.11g USB dongles are standardized on the same drivers in Linux, Windows, and Mac. [07:02] cello, Most people installing linux have already checked their hardware for compatibility [07:02] ShawnC: see what ifconfig shows if your wired isn't shown try ifconfig eth0 up and dhclient eth0 [07:02] i did that. [07:03] voss: you probably use this channel more than me. Would you say that's true? How many just grab the CD and pop it in with fingers crossed instead of researching whether they have compatible hardware? [07:03] bazhang, if i uninstall lamp server ...is there any possiblity if i lose my mysql data [07:03] cello, the live cd basically does that , if the live cd works okay then you install it [07:04] ShawnC: try dhclient -r then those commands [07:04] voss: well, then [07:04] can you help me ...if i uninstall lamp server ...is there any possiblity if i lose my mysql data [07:04] kumar, did you read that link? [07:05] I spent ages trying to troubleshoot my connection problems and it turned out to be a problem with the NIC itself, but if it's working in windows then I assume you're okay [07:05] bazhang, yes its only for installation.. [07:05] Ive gotten to the point with linux... atheros wireless(check) Nvidia graphics (check) , and does it print (check) [07:05] bazhang, but i need to save my data as another web server is running... [07:05] kumar, perhaps ##linux can help as xampp is not supported here [07:05] voss: yay! [07:05] bazhang, is there any way to stop another web server [07:06] bazhang, but it was already running on my computer [07:06] voss: printing, unless it's a Lexmark printer, is normally a snap in Linux. [07:06] * cellofellow thinks it'd be neat if Windows dumped its proprietary printing system and used CUPS instead, that way all major OSes would use the same printing framework, all drivers would work on all systems, and everyone would be happy. [07:08] HAY HAY HAY [07:08] Hey all, how do I turn off my desktop so I only have a set of terminals? [07:08] ProfOak you want to get rid of the gui? [07:08] ProfOak: ctrl+shift+f1 I think kills X [07:08] http://pastebin.com/d362c8dab is lspci and i would guess the problems [07:08] nisstyre: Just for fun [07:08] #winehq [07:09] Wiseguy: no, it doesn't, just hides it. [07:09] ProfOak: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [07:09] woops [07:09] I did that when I first started using Ubuntu (by accident) and it was anything but :P [07:09] ProfOak: same command except "start" to regain the gui. [07:09] simply remove ubuntu-desktop package [07:09] ProfOak: and I suggest using screen while you are enjoying the land of the console. [07:09] wiseguy and wiseman are not the same person, cellofellow [07:09] that will delete GUI (for exaple, if you use kde, you should remove kubuntu-desktop) [07:10] ambi, that wont do it, as that is only a metapackage [07:10] oops [07:10] ambi, that is not correct [07:10] hi guys, how do i a do a fix for my notebook : 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 " [07:10] I aparently have jewish ancestors, so I'm stuck with this name. [07:10] !puregnome > ambi [07:10] ambi, please see my private message [07:10] can anyone help me walk through this? I've just reinstalled ubuntu on my notebook [07:10] i have question about the 'who' command [07:10] Wiseman: my grandpa was jewish. [07:10] hm. on my last desktop 8.10 i used this method, and i have removed all gui. [07:11] what is tty7 pts/0 pts/1 pts/2 ? [07:11] andrewubuntu: I had sound problems, video problems, etc with ubuntu. I switched to mint and it literally fixed everything. [07:11] cellofellow: huzzah [07:11] q0_0p: tty7 is virtual terminal 7, used by X11. pts/0 is an emulated terminal, used in a terminal emulator like gnome-terminal. [07:12] oh i c [07:12] Wiseman: thank you, but the sound is the only thing that is not working for my notebook, i think i'll stick it out with ubuntu ;-) can anyone help me walk through the steps for the fix? [07:12] cellofellow, thanks [07:12] q0_0p: ctrl+alt+F1-6 will get you virtual terminals 1-6, respectively. eg tty1, tty2. tty6. [07:12] make sense [07:12] now i know what tty1 means [07:12] i didn't know ctrl+alt+f1-f6 was virtual terminals [07:12] i just thought it was a terminal [07:13] q0_0p: the name tty actually comes from teletype, which was once upon a time the only way to connect to mainframe and minicomputers, which was what UNIX is. [07:13] q0_0p: a real terminal is a discreet device connected to the system with a serial or parallel connection. Rarely used today. The linux console emulates terminals, as do terminal emulators. [07:14] i got problem people in ubuntu 9.4 [07:14] i hope i can found the answer here [07:14] cellofellow, thx for the history [07:14] how to take screenshot using terminal command? [07:14] mataks: scrot [07:14] q0_0p: a tty was an electric typewriter connected to a modem which would dial in to the serial device, getting a terminal with a roll-paper display. [07:14] Hi, can anyone help walkthrough the steps to fix the sound of my notebook? The documentation is: 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. [07:14] mataks: scrot [07:15] kilana: what is the problem? [07:15] my installer cant seen my harddesk (sda1 sda2 sdb1 sdb2 etc ) it only shows the sda [07:15] ok thnx guys [07:15] and inside my harddesk got windows xp [07:16] no man for scrot.. how to take screenshot with timer? [07:16] what command is equivilant to ifup eth0 for a wireless card? [07:16] andrewubuntu, sudo touch /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf; echo "snd-hda-intel model=mobile" > /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf [07:16] guys, how do i do this? ;-( [07:16] mataks: sleep timeinseconds && scrot [07:16] !info scrot [07:16] scrot (source: scrot): command line screen capture utility.

[07:17] 1 [07:17] andrewubuntu it's a simple matter of editing the text file to contain the new lines [07:17] hyperionx11: it says permission denied [07:17] use sudo [07:17] andrewubuntu, use sudo [07:17] and 6 partation [07:17] mataks: scrot has a manpage on my system. [07:17] hyperionx11: yes, i did use sudo [07:18] hyperionx11: the exact command i used is sudo touch /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf; echo "snd-hda-intel model=mobile" > /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf [07:18] mataks: you could use sleep do delay or scrot -d NUM [07:18] andrewubuntu, try ls -loa /etc/modprobe.d does it exist? [07:18] cellofellow, k thnx man [07:18] one for windows xp(fat32) and one ext3 is empty and one for swap and one empty ntfs [07:18] kilana: that's it! maybe you should make a partitions on your harddrive and then I think you will see sda1 sda2 devices [07:18] but the installer dosnt seen them [07:19] only i can see is the sda , so if i format it or creat new partation from it all my systems will gone [07:19] hm.. while i print a message, you type a new information, what version of ubuntu you trying to install?

[07:35] On one of my ubuntu box, I have some nice profile coming with screen. But on the other one, even with the screen-profile package install, I have nothing. What could be the difference ? (both are jaunty 64) [07:35] hyperionx11: hello, the sound is working now, thank you very much [07:35] ;-) [07:35] bazhang: Technically it was a problem caused by Ubuntu [07:35] nomad77: hyperionx11, ok, roger that, better copy and save this, thanks. [07:35] Grant-A is right [07:35] If Ubuntu hadn't all these problems when you try uninstalling it, I wouldn-t ask here [07:35] can i replace firmware without being able to boot?

[07:39] Leopoldo, http://www.allbootdisks.com/downloads/ISO/AllBootDisks_ISO_Image_Downloads25/Win98SE_bootdisk.iso [07:39] Leopoldo: When setup loads, can you press "R" to enter the recovery mode? or is this entirely impossible?

[07:39] It-s impossible [07:39] Leopoldo: If I can't find the disc, there's always the possibility of installing GRUB on Windows [07:39] Leopoldo: Would that work? [07:40] can i change the mountpoint of a partition from / to /home? [07:40] No, I hate GRUB [07:41] what's another project that offers free ui icons like tango? [07:41] Is there a messenger service for Ubuntu that supports webcam? [07:41] Well, there is a way to make GRUB automatically pass over to Windows [07:41] I do it with Ubuntu. It involves setting the timeout to "0" [07:41] Grant-A, yes [07:41] granta, but my XP MBR is damaged [07:42] Leopoldo, do you get a grub prompt or error? [07:42] Message me when someone has an answer, please. Thank you. [07:42] Leopoldo: Right, but if GRUB were installed to Windows, it would take over the MBR, you could set it to auto-boot Windows, and its like nothing ever happened [07:42] PM* [07:42] Leopoldo, i think u should just fix grub using a live CD if possible ...

Nautilus is showing my home folder as my desktop, even regardless of the gconf desktop_is_homedir setting. Any ideas? : / [07:55] eh, I would've gone with a bit higher up the IP block [07:55] banville. [07:55] jussi01: ok [07:55] i have to answer as i am a sucker ? [07:55] hi jussi01 [07:55] how do i make anjuta run with SDL? i can't find any up to date tutorials on this. [07:56] can someone double check my crontab. 30 2 * * * /usr/local/scripts/backups.sh runs every night at 2:30am right? [07:56] oh my [07:56] * jussi01 waves to jacquesdupontd' [07:56] haha [07:56] never mind I just realized its EST server :\ hoo boy [07:56] DerKlempner: thanks [07:56] * jacquesdupontd like it [07:56] your name sounds like an improvised verb. "Jacquesdupont'd" :P [07:57] in fact its jacques dupont(d) [07:57] vohoo: no worries, i just hope you have a supported webcam ;) [07:57] http://myspace.com/myspacejacquesdupontd [07:57] then you will understand Grant-A [07:57] hello, how can i archive my mail (i'm using evolution) into separate local file so if i want to backup this file to know who and where exactly is located that file? [07:57] hrmm to to clarify, after reverting a change where I replaced by desktop folder with a symlink, Nautilus is now showing my home dir on my desktop, even after I recreated the Desktop folder [07:57] * jacquesdupontd made is last sentence off-topic and he promise it to jussi01 [07:58] what happened to bogomips is lshw? [07:58] You promised jussi01 to make an off-topic sentence? OMG CONSPIRACY!!!111!!11 [07:58] No one knows? [07:58] Grant-A, go to my myspace and listen [07:59] moving on [07:59] * jacquesdupontd made another off-topic sentence, bad guy ! [07:59] jacquesdupontd: move on [07:59] Grant-A, excuse me, what is going on here? [07:59] yeah i was thinking that [08:00] Myrtti, no worries i stop [08:00] Grant-A, i think given your last sentance, i want your response in -ops rather than here. [08:00] elky: It was a joke [08:00] spontaneous order? [08:01] Grant-A, (tasteful) jokes are what #ubuntu-offtopic is for. not here. [08:01] or is it spontaneous chaos? [08:01] Myrtti, i just wanna help as i am still drunk from yesterday and have nothing else to do [08:01] jacquesdupontd: I'll drink to that! [08:02] n2diy: you should know better than to join in this [08:02] * jacquesdupontd wants people to stop making me answer to off topic [08:02] problem solved [08:02] Myrtti: oh, why, as this happened before? [08:02] as/has [08:04] jacquesdupontd: do you have an ubuntu support uestion? [08:04] ActionParsnip1: he's muted currently [08:04] Myrtti: thanks [08:04] so i've searched the repositories for a program to monitor LAN traffic for all the computers connected to my router, but i've been unable to find anything that suits my needs. any suggestions? [08:06] Myrtti: oh, why, has this happened before? I wasn't aware of it. [08:06] DerKlempner, to monitor or to shape [08:06] n2diy: common sense should have told you not to join [08:06] DerKlempner: you will need to use a tool to probe each system every few seconds to create a history, if you swap out your dumb router for a low power consuming pc with a tonne of intelligence you can run monitoring tools on it [08:06] i have hardy and jaunty partitions that both worked. jaunty still works, but now the hardy partition will not boot, freezes in recovery mode on a line about "generic cd-rom driver." i can read and write to the partition. [08:06] DerKlempner: home grade routers arent really designed for that kind of analysis [08:06] n2diy: if there's unrest, you don't start waving your hands in the air and scream "there's some unrest" [08:07] bazhang: just to monitor [08:07] ActionParsnip1: are you saying there isn't anything I can run on this computer to do the job? [08:07] Myrtti: Ok, but it is late, and slow, and we all tend to drift OT now and then, it isn't the end of the world? [08:07] ActionParsnip1: but i do have a Cisco-powered router, so i'd hope there's something available [08:07] n2diy: pm? [08:07] DerKlempner: not with any real resolution, you will be sequentially polling the systems to get the latest news then adding it to a backlog of previos stuff which you can then analyse [08:08] ActionParsnip1# what are you thinking about dd- ? or ? [08:08] Myrtti: yes, you can. [08:08] DerKlempner: then you may be able to turn on logging. i have a Linksys router (cisco home grade thing) which has some logging facility === desti_T2 is now known as desti [08:09] ActionParsnip1: same for me, but it's not enough info for me to make sure all computers aren't up to any illegal activities and/or shenanigans that would cause me undue problems [08:10] Hi! I'm trying to get my Radeon 9200 to work with 3d support with the open source ati/radeon driver by following the guide which says it should be possible: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver While display is otherwise ok, there's still no 3d support. 'lshw -C display' reports the display as "UNCLAIMED". My Xorg.0.log has only one error, which reads "(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)". I'm wondering why it [08:11] ActionParsnip1: i've enabled logging, but i was hoping there'd be a program available to help parse the logging info into more specific detail that would allow me to better understand individual computer traffic [08:11] anyone here with an iphone? [08:11] DerKlempner: implement it on the individual system, install a client agent on each pc which can alert or simply be polled every now and again.Your router is not hugely intelligent. Some allow you to block URLs or IP addresses [08:11] it looks like the appstore is not working [08:11] i can't download apps [08:11] wasabi_: use the repositirys, they are working fine [08:12] what? you mean cydia? [08:12] wasabi_: you sure you're not using Nokia, since "not working" sounds just like Ovi Shop... :D [08:12] wasabi_: iPhones are not just offtopc, that's not something to discuss about here [08:12] i'm talking about appstore [08:12] I have 2 4GB thumbdrives. I intend to hide them away inside the case. can I make them seem like 1 8GB drive, or set it up so that I won't run out of space as soon? [08:12] ActionParsnip1: he's talking about AppleStore [08:12] anyone willing to help me with my wireless problem? [08:12] for the iphone [08:12] ActionParsnip1: i'm unable to implement a client agent on every system, that's my only issue [08:12] wasabi_, #ubuntu-offtopic please [08:12] wasabi_: no, run: gksudo synaptic you can install apps from there, or use sudo apt-get install [08:12] ActionParsnip1: Applestore, not appstore, he's not talking about ubuntu's appstore, but Apple's store [08:13] DerKlempner: its worth it, we use altiris where I work, its on every server we run [08:13] Beyecixramd: then he shouldnt abbreviate ;) [08:13] lol [08:13] what command do i put in to find my cd drive info? [08:13] like model [08:13] wasabi_: you shouldnt abbreviate, it leads to confusion [08:13] ActionParsnip1: yes, and that's offtopic here xD [08:13] one of the listed cards that ubuntu supports causes the system to freeze on my laptop... DWL-650+ Airplus card... [08:14] excuse me, im looking at my character map, and where are the spanish caracters like the inverted questionmark and such? [08:14] Beyecixramd: wellits not, i could talk entirely in acronyms in my quest for advice on ubuntu and it would lead nowhere, so I am advising a better method to convey the users question so I can advise [08:14] glicks: supuestamente al lado de ? [08:14] a la derecha === baskingshark is now known as paul68 [08:15] Beyecixramd, heh no hablo much espanol [08:15] ActionParsnip1: it's not a question of "should i or shouldn't i?" it's a question of not every computer being under my administration. when i have no administrative control over the computers in question then i can't install the necessary software [08:15] ActionParsnip1: No no, i mean,wasabi, he was doing offtopic here [08:15] im just trying to figure out how to type the spanish characters [08:15] glicks: wops, sorry, i mean, the ¿ mark is at the right side of ? [08:15] and add them to my character map tool bar [08:15] any help anyone? [08:15] Heey all [08:16] Beyecixramd: gotcha [08:16] drew212: I sincerely have no idea [08:16] what script Beyecixramd ? [08:16] help pls.. a pop up window appear on my screen it says that new update installation is ready to install.. i click partially install but i get error that can'tconnect to server .. [08:16] glicks: dunno [08:16] Does anyone have some experience installing Wintendo after Ubuntu? [08:16] mataks: are you behind a router/firewall/proxy? [08:16] DerKlempner: then the basic loggin in your router is all you have. You may be able to switch it to tomato which may give more functionality but I am not sure [08:17] Hatsjoe: http://apcmag.com/the_definitive_dualbooting_guide_linux_vista_and_xp_stepbystep.htm [08:17] Beyecixramd, Nope.. can i jus manually update the file? [08:17] DerKlempner: if you are that concerned then install a system as your router and you can analyse every single packet as it flys by [08:17] ActionParsnip1: gotcha, thanks for the info :) [08:17] Beyecixramd, can i update using terminal? [08:17] Beyecixramd I already have a tut, but I need to make sure it works [08:17] Dont want to lose any data [08:17] DerKlempner: you may also be able to buy a small device to put between the router and the world to monitor stuff [08:17] mataks: yes you can, but i dont remember the command [08:18] Beyecixramd, ok.. i'll just ask smeone else [08:18] I just installed 9.04 32 bit server. the terminal is very responsive until I run screen then I get long delays before my keystrokes are echoed or processed. Is there something I can change in my screen, like a configuration option or something, that will make it more responsive? [08:18] mataks sudo apt-get install update [08:18] oh wrong command xD [08:18] Hatsjoe: that one will work, you can even boot with NTOSloader instead of GRUB [08:18] im trying to add the inverted question mark to my character map applet but cant find it [08:18] mataks: sudo update-manager -d will jump you to karmic if you are on jaunty [08:18] without install mataks [08:18] what's karmic? [08:18] Hatsjoe: that will only update the database, not the system [08:19] Hatsjoe: upgrade rather than update? [08:19] Well I found a tut how to backup the GRUB loader and after installing restore it and add XP to it [08:19] mataks: Karmic Koala is the codename for the next Ubuntu [08:19] what ubuntu works on ps3 [08:19] Hatsjoe: everything is there [08:19] Beyecixramd, what!! another ubuntu.. [08:19] im trying to add the inverted question mark to my character map applet but cant find it;0 [08:19] uknow, an official one designed for PS3, not hosted on the ubuntu site...I think. [08:19] I still use 8.04 LTS [08:19] mataks: What's wrong with it? they make new versions.... like Microsoft does... [08:19] mataks: yes, ubuntu has a new release every 6 mo. [08:20] uknow, an unofficial one* [08:20] uknow: A Play Station? [08:20] ps3 yeah [08:20] yes i know but i jsut installed jaunty this week.. i thought it's the latest [08:20] #ubuntu-ps3 uknow [08:20] mataks: almost everyone releases a new version of their OS from time to time [08:20] thanks] [08:20] I want a PS3 just to run linux on, but I'm poor :/ [08:20] is it safe to do this command? sudo update-manager -d [08:20] mataks: it is the latest, karmic is still in alpha [08:20] mataks: Karmic Koala is still not ready, it's in alpha stage, so just wait. [08:21] Commodore doesn't! [08:21] Bob_Dole: Why a PS3? why not a computer? [08:21] !ps3 [08:21] Aside from i386 and amd64 platforms, Ubuntu is also available for alternate platforms. Playstation 3 ( support in #ubuntu-ps3 ) Apple PowerPC ( support in #ubuntu-ppc ) [08:21] uknow: I didn't know a Play Station could run as a system/box? [08:21] what's new in next versin? [08:21] Beyecixramd, I have 15 of those, most are x86. I want the power of a CellBroadband engine. [08:21] n2diy: yes, even the XBOX can run as a computer. They are computers after all [08:22] mataks: go find out, its far beyond the scope of an irc channel [08:22] yeah it has install other os on the ps3 meanu [08:22] The xbox requires hacks, however [08:22] Bob_Dole: I have the power of a 8800 GTS, which is more than any console, be sure of that [08:22] yeah i have a modded xbox [08:22] aswel [08:22] I have 3x 8800 [08:22] Bob_Dole: But it can act as a pc, anyway, with or without hacks. [08:22] nvm I got it to work better by uninstalling screen-profiles [08:22] the PS3 will run it without any modifications (beyond installing the OS) [08:22] 3 way-sli ftw [08:22] Beyecixramd: not a ps3, 3 CPUs etc. good times [08:23] Beyecixramd: roger that, but can you actually transform on into a stand alone..., say workstation, or server? [08:23] ActionParsnip1: Yes, my computer is more powerful than my PC [08:23] hey [08:23] n2diy: as long as you install whatever you want... yes [08:23] what about that new kernel on jaunty ? [08:23] n2diy: it's a computer after all, running a modded version of Windows 2000 [08:24] any help with my wireless card situation? [08:24] Which process handles the regular checking of updates? I thought it would be a cron-job for Update-Manager, but I cannot seem to locate it. [08:24] isnt there a modded linux version for lets say an PS3? :P [08:24] n2diy, the PS3 has 1 drawback, a hypervisor meant for a single purpose, keeping you out of the GPU, is present. So the CPU has to do all the rendering. [08:24] drew212, tell me [08:24] Hatsjoe: Fedora runs without "mods" [08:24] Hatsjoe: YellowDog Linux is the Linux distribution officially supported for the PS3 [08:24] jacquesdupontd: every time i plug in the wireless card it causes ubuntu to freeze, even though it says it is supported... [08:24] I mean a linux version for the PS3 and still be able to play the games on it [08:24] hmm, there's an error in one of my apache configuration files... how do i search all files under /var/www |grep xargs /htdocs [08:24] owh: not sure myself, i rip out everything pakage related that isnt apt-get and dpkg [08:24] Hatsjoe, modded, no.. There are linux versions compiled for the Ps3, and you just have to select the "install OS" or some such in the XMB [08:25] cool [08:25] drew212, maybe a problem of other modules loaded [08:25] drew212, and then conflict [08:25] Bob_Dole: in the PS3 is as easy as installing any OS in any computer [08:25] Beyecixramd: how do you communicate with the PS? Ethernet? What OS is it running? [08:25] Hatsjoe, No. Because the GPU is locked out, the CPU has to do all the rendering if you aren't using a game [08:25] drew212, tell me the name of your wireless card please [08:25] jacquesdupontd: it is the D-link Airplus DWL-650+ the pastebin for the kernel logs is http://paste.ubuntu.com/235360/ [08:25] n2diy: i dont have a PS3. [08:25] Bob_Dole: 10-4 [08:25] ActionParsnip1: The actual problem I'm trying to solve is to get a cron-job to send a notification message to me, I figured that Update-Manager was already doing that - finding it seems not trivial :( [08:25] n2diy: also, the consoles don't run "OSes" but "firmwares" [08:26] wich version of ubuntu do you use drew212 [08:26] jacquesdupontd: i get the blinking caps and scroll lock kernel failure [08:26] owh: cron your own job, i have [08:26] jacquesdupontd: jaunty, 32bit [08:26] ActionParsnip1: How do you get it to talk to you - other than using email? [08:26] owh: my system cleans, updates and dist-upgrades every day at 5am [08:26] owh: email, but then it appears on my g1 phone [08:26] drew212, ok thx i'm checking for ya [08:26] Beyecixramd: well, the OS is on the firmware, and you can flash it. [08:27] jacquesdupontd: thank you very much! this has had me boggled for quite some time... [08:27] n2diy: there's no need to do it in the PS3. Sony supports other OSes aswell [08:27] ActionParsnip1: The cron job I need to get output from checks to tell me if there are messages waiting in the mail queue, but sending out the alert for email doesn't help :) [08:27] drew212, im here anyway we gonna find a solution [08:27] jacekowski: A solution for what? [08:28] jacquesdupontd: thanks much =) [08:28] drew212, do you use airplus ? [08:28] owh: for my wireless card problem [08:28] yes [08:28] drew212: What card? [08:28] Beyecixramd: ok, have a link to any hacks? I've passed up a few PS devices at yard sales, because I didn't think I could "play" wih them. [08:28] drew212, ok that's normal then [08:28] owh: DWL-650+ [08:28] drew212, im gonna explain to you [08:28] jacquesdupontd: ok [08:29] n2diy: dont think so. but google's your friend [08:29] Beyecixramd: 10-4 on google, thanks. [08:29] I'm getting an error when I start k3b -- "No CD/DVD writer found"... indeed, I do have one, and fstab looks good. Is there another reason k3b would be mad at me? [08:29] drew212, question, why do you use airplus as it is natively supported ? [08:29] drew212: can you please provide the output of: sudo lshw -C network in a pastebin [08:29] Onyx: maybe the device isn't working right [08:30] Onyx: have you tried with other program (let's say) brasero? [08:30] drew212: what is printed on the case of the device means nearly nothing in Linux. Its the wireless chip we need to know [08:30] true [08:30] well i cant plug the card in without causing the computer to crash [08:30] ActionParsnip1, i think about a module problem [08:30] Beyecixramd: Same issue with Brasero... the device was working fine about a week ago, so I don't know why that would be happening so suddenly [08:31] drew212, you are hotplugging the card? [08:31] drew212, why do you use airplus as it's not needed ? [08:31] hotplugging? [08:31] drew212: is it PCI or USB? [08:31] it is an airplus because it was the card i used before i DLed ubuntu [08:31] Onyx: it could be broken. [08:31] drew212, you should first remove airplus [08:31] drew212: or PCMCIA? [08:32] hi can someone tell me,if deleting existing /boot and moving it to another partition,then pointing grub to it will boot system fine? [08:32] PCMCIA [08:32] I can't get the open-source "ati" driver to load using xorg.conf. An Ubuntu guide claims this should be possible for my card. How do I troubleshoot the issue? [08:32] drew212, you cant hotplug those cards [08:32] jacquesdupontd: how do i "Remove" it? [08:32] drew212: ok, so what is your issue with teh device/ [08:32] ActionParsnip1, there's a pastebin [08:32] Beyecixramd: Can you think of a software issue that it may be? [08:32] ActionParsnip1, http://paste.ubuntu.com/235360/ [08:32] ActionParsnip1: every time i plug it in, it causes the computer to freeze, and the scroll and caps lock lights blink... [08:32] indus: I would re-install grub (# grub-install /dev/sda, for example) just to be sure. [08:33] I have flash 10, and it works fine, except when I go into full screen, then it skips and stutters. Anybody know a fix? [08:33] The grub boot loader code does need to find its map file. [08:33] jimd: ya iam asking same,if after moving the partition and reinstall grub will it work fine? [08:33] drew212: you could try stopping hal, then inserting, then restarting hal. could help [08:33] Onyx: hmm... maybe apt removed the appropiate drivers, i dont know anything else [08:33] ActionParsnip1: hal? [08:33] !hal [08:33] Hal is in the process of being depreciated. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Halsectomy and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_abstraction_layer for more info. [08:34] avionlux: flash works bad in Linux, it's the truth [08:34] hardware abstraction layer www.wikipedia.org/hal [08:34] avionlux: flash wasn't designed for Linux, but for Windows [08:34] !services [08:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about services [08:34] !service [08:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about service [08:34] is there no fix at all beyecixramd. It was working ok for me in 8.10. [08:34] ActionParsnip1: how do i go about stopping hal? [08:34] drew212: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hal [08:35] ActionParsnip1, i'll need you if you'll have time to know a bit about what service i could stop on start [08:35] but its being replaced by something else === doug_ is now known as DougM [08:35] ActionParsnip1: even if i start the computer with the card plugged in, it happens... [08:35] avionlux: Probably you were using an older version. try downgrading, or use Gnash instead [08:35] Gnash, IMO works even worse [08:36] i'll probably just leave it alone if there isn't any known way to fix it [08:36] drew212, that's why he told you to try to stop hal [08:36] HALP! Blender gives me this: http://www.andgasm.net/whut/attack.jpg [08:36] drew212: sudo /etc/init.d/hal stop [08:36] does anyone know of any good parental controls for linux [08:36] drew212: insert card [08:36] avionlux: well, try to downgrade... other than that, i dont know [08:36] drew212: sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart [08:36] thejackal221: maybe good parental controls will be available as plugins for firefox [08:37] ok, thanks. That is pretty much the same thing that was said on the web. [08:37] command not found [08:37] drew212: sounds to me like you need some extra options for your pcmcia slot [08:37] drew212: or the card is faulty [08:37] thanks I'll check that out [08:37] thejackal221, dansguardian and ff plugin [08:37] I appreciate the help. *smiles* [08:37] bazhang thanks [08:37] the card worked before i installed ubuntu... [08:37] is it possible to boot the graphical installer from a harddisk, say something like /boot/newinstall [08:37] Beyecixramd: Very odd... I just had to pull the cables and plug them back in, and it's working like a champ... thanks for making me think along hardware lines :) [08:37] ActionParsnip1, i would say pcmcia [08:38] drew212, what chipset for the card [08:38] I'm following the tutorial, but still don't know which files to copy [08:38] Onyx: =) [08:38] ActionParsnip1: the terminal gives me an error, saying the command is not found... [08:38] bazhang: i have no idea... [08:38] ubutu is donating free shipping ubuntu cd.do they donate laptop too? hehehe [08:38] Kalamansi, no [08:38] Guess I've got tiny gnomes yanking on the backs of my cables :) [08:38] Kalamansi: LOL [08:39] Onyx: tiny KDEs ;) [08:39] lol [08:39] Beyecixramd just trying any luck [08:39] ehehe [08:39] ActionParsnip1: is that command you gave me wrong? [08:39] drew212, try lsusb in terminal [08:39] Hey everyone [08:39] baz i cant plug the card in without it crashing... [08:40] drew212, if that does not find it then lspci [08:40] drew212: can you please provide the output of: uname -c [08:40] oops [08:40] lsb_release -c [08:40] drew212, you could note those command and try it in recovery mode for example [08:40] exemple [08:40] drew212, this card has never worked then [08:40] lsb_release -c yeiles jaunty [08:40] yeilds* [08:41] bazhang: the card worked perfectly fine before ubuntu [08:41] drew212, with ubuntu [08:41] bazhang: no... it hasn't [08:41] ActionParsnip1: restarting in safe mode will make the commands work? [08:42] bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/235360/ [08:42] drew212, well you need to find out the chipset, pcmcia cards are very problematic, I have two or three that I cannot use at all with Ubuntu [08:42] drew212: safe mode? are you talking about ubuntu? i didnt konw such a think existed in ubuntu [08:42] thing* [08:42] pcmcia is errr berk [08:42] Beyecixramd: yes, if you hit delete before ubuntu loads [08:42] drew212: possibly, linux gives no sla or garuntees [08:43] run those two codes by me again... im restarting in safe mode... [08:43] lsusb lspci [08:43] drew212: /etc/init.d/hal stop [08:43] drew212: insert device [08:44] drew212: sudo /etc/init.d/hal start [08:44] sudo [08:44] hehe ok [08:44] drew212: then run: lspci; lsusb as bazhang says [08:44] jacquesdupontd: if its root recovery console it won't need sudo ;) [08:44] How can I make it so when a user creates a file, teh uid is the same as the parent? [08:44] ActionParsnip1: root with networking or just root shell prompt? [08:45] drew212: root is sufficient [08:45] drew212, it will not boot with the card in? what options are you using [08:45] if possible [08:45] ActionParsnip1, oh sorry didn't knew you were talking about the recovery mode [08:45] Gimp wont open by clicking on my desktop icon so im opening it in terminal by typing "gimp" it loads up fine but i do get an error saying "gtk-WARMING **: Error parsing gtk-icon-sizes string: 'panel-menu-24,24 panel=20,20 gtk-large-toolbar=24,24' /usr/local/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/print: error while loading shared libraries: li bgimpprint.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (gimp:11611): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: [08:45] gimp: wire_read() error [08:45] does anyone know what might be causing that [08:45] ActionParsnip1, then it's stopping hal without sudo inserting device starting ubuntu and then starting hal that you wants him to do ? [08:45] DougM: it's normal, you can ignore that error [08:46] bazhang: it will boot, it just freezes partway through... [08:46] drew212, not using any bootoptions then? [08:46] Beyecixrand: oh ok.. do you have any idea why it wont open by clicking on the desktop icon? It only opens through terminal then when i close terminal it will close aswell [08:46] ActionParsnip1, i meant stopping hal in recovery mode [08:46] sorry im new to this [08:46] bazhang: shortly after the card's power light blinks(about 6-10 times) it freezes [08:46] bazhang: not any that i know of... [08:46] right click and see what does exactly launch the icon [08:47] bazhang: i dont even know what boot options are... im quite new to ubuntu... [08:47] drew212, have you tried some drivers ? [08:47] jacquesdupontd: yeah, you can use sudo if you want. its not needed though as s/he will be root, so its not needed [08:47] im a he =P === BOZG1 is now known as BOZG [08:47] ActionParsnip1, but i was just wondering you were putting sudo in your advice for restarting hal :) [08:47] ActionParsnip1, nevermind [08:47] !bootoptions > drew212 [08:47] drew212, please see my private message [08:48] LANG=en sudo chmod -r 0757 _temp/ / chmod: cannot access `0757': No such file or directory <---- why do I get that? syntax is correct [08:48] DougM: try: ln -s `which gimp` $HOME/Desktop/tryme [08:48] how to install winxp dual boot in ubuntu [08:48] ubottu is really perfect [08:48] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:48] jacquesdupontd, drivers wont be the issue right now, he is trying to discover the chipset [08:48] ubottu: LOL [08:48] Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [08:48] bazhang, true [08:48] =) [08:48] Kalamansi, easier if you install windows first [08:49] Kalamansi: install xp first leaving unpartitioned space, then install ubuntu into the free space, grub will sort out the dual boot at insall time for you [08:49] Kalamansi, did you installed windows before ? [08:49] no, i dont use any boot options... [08:49] ActionParsnip1: Nothing happens when it ype that [08:49] becareful though, grub can easily screw up your system if you uninstall linux [08:49] !dual | Kalamansi [08:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about dual [08:49] drew212, make commands in recovery mode and find chipset then we can go further [08:49] !dual boot| Kalamansi [08:49] Kalamansi: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [08:50] DougM: good, now look on your desktop, is there a link? [08:50] which command gives me chipset? [08:50] because grub install on your linux partition, if you delete linux, you won't boot anything up [08:50] drew212: sudo lshw -C network [08:50] drew212, in recovery mode dont forget [08:50] !help [08:50] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [08:51] ActionParsnip1, no need for sudo haha :) [08:51] Beyecixramd, ?? [08:51] ActionParsnip1: yeah there is a link there now it has a little lock on the top right and when i try to open it it says the link tryme is broken [08:51] bazhang: I wsa testing the bot [08:51] jacquesdupontd: its habit [08:51] was* [08:51] Beyecixramd, /msg ubottu please [08:51] ActionParsnip1, i know i know it was a joke [08:51] ok [08:51] where is chipset listed? [08:51] drew212, you'll see it dont worry [08:51] DougM: ok then delete that, i assumed 'gimp' was the thing to run from terminal to get gimp running, am i wrong? [08:52] drew212, just after typing the command the list won't be long === MooKow is now known as LordKow [08:52] drew212, but you have to have the card inserted [08:52] how do i scroll up? [08:52] all i can see is the end of the text =P [08:52] ActionParsnip1: yeah thats what i type to open gimp.. but for some reason I cant click on the desktop icon to open it.. it comes up in my taskbar saying its loading but then just dissapears [08:53] drew212, won't be needed, oh you're on an another computer ? [08:53] yes =P [08:53] ActionParsnip1: if i type gimp in terminal it opens fine but i really dont want to have to go into terminal every time i want to open gimp [08:53] DougM: if you run: cd ~; ls -a do you see a folder named .imp or similar? [08:53] ActionParsnip1: hold on let me check [08:53] .gimp [08:53] debugging while finding the problem is way to hard on the same puter [08:53] shit + page up [08:54] well i cant see chipset... the top half the the output is cut off [08:54] drew212, shift + page up [08:54] should do the trick [08:54] drew212, does it ? [08:54] ActionParsnip1: nah there is nothing like .imp [08:55] is there a way to see with top for something similar, which process is running on which cpu? [08:55] -f [08:55] jacquesdupontd: its not showing chipset... [08:55] drew212, card inserted ? that's weird [08:55] DougM: or .gimp ? [08:55] hello [08:55] yeah... [08:55] it shows other stuff though... [08:56] drew212, then lspci [08:56] vendor: Wireless Network CardBus PC card [08:56] need help with rhythm box plugin can someone help [08:56] ActionParsnip1: yeah i see gImp-2.2 and a gimp-2.6 [08:56] DougM: rename both, then run gimp [08:57] ActionParsnip1: what should i rename them to? [08:57] ActionParsnip1: anything? [08:57] 3com corporation 3c905c-TX/TX-M [08:57] DougM: something different [08:57] DougM: but make sure you can rename them back [08:57] drew212, ok that's it [08:57] that is listed as ethernet controller [08:57] drew212, im gonna search [08:57] DougM: something like gimp-2.2_old is intelligent [08:57] ActionParsnip1: ok.. this may sound bad. but how do i rename haha? sorry iv only had Ubuntu running for like 10 hours [08:58] DougM: mv gimp-2.2 gimp-2.2-backup && mv gimp-2.6 gimp-2.6-backup [08:58] ActionParsnip1: right click, rename [08:58] drew212, oh then that may not the one [08:58] DougM: mv ~/.gimp-2.2 ~/.gimp-2.2_old [08:58] there is also a networking controller [08:58] ActionParsnip1: sorry, wrong xD [08:58] drew212, be [08:58] Beyecixramd: nar gui is for losers [08:58] drew212, chipset ? [08:58] Texas instruments ACX 100 22MBPS wirless interface [08:58] drew212, that's it this time [08:58] Morning. Is there any way to rename a user account? Just the login name? Its greyed out in user accounts [08:58] are you sure? [08:59] drew212, we are never sure about anything but i think yes lemme search [08:59] DougM: mv is the rename cammand in uniix [08:59] that is what lshw shows as product [08:59] not chipset [08:59] DougM: rename/move command [08:59] ActionParsnip1: alright cool.. just renammed them [09:00] DougM: ok now when you rerun gimp, you will get stock settings. if this works we know your settings were bad, if not then the app is bad [09:00] drew212, now you may need ndiswarpper to install it [09:00] i got to go now, see you later, guys [09:00] AdvoWork: man usermod will tell you all you need [09:00] DougM: we renamed the profile so the settings are not gone and can easily be rnamed back [09:00] i'm pretty sure i have that installed... [09:01] AdvoWork: i am not sure if you also have to rename the homedir [09:01] DougM: idiots will tell you to simply delete then the person being helped is like "where are my settings" and they would be gone, hence the rename [09:01] drew212, it makes you able to install windows drivers [09:01] drew212, you need .inf files [09:01] DougM: does gimp now work as you like? [09:01] !ndiswarpper [09:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about ndiswarpper [09:01] yeah i'm pretty sure ndiswrapper is installed... [09:01] ActionParsnip1: didnt work.. but in terminal i see gimpshop_2.2.11-1_i386.deb and gimpshop_202011_i386.deb.1 and the first one is in red [09:01] oops [09:01] ActionParsnip1: Could htat have something to do with it? [09:01] !ndiswrapper [09:01] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [09:02] DougM: no, sounds like you have installed an app via deb file though [09:02] !gimpshop [09:02] gimpshop is a hack that makes The Gimp look and feel more like Photoshop. A .deb for Ubuntu is available via http://plasticbugs.com/?page_id=294 [09:02] iceroot, can i not leave the home dir the same or? [09:02] ubottu: thanks [09:02] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [09:02] ActionParsnip1: how can i delete those two gimpshop files? [09:02] drew212, check the link and install it with ndiswrapper [09:02] DougM: rm [09:02] AdvoWork: i dont know, never renamed a user-account [09:03] ActionParsnip1: alright one second [09:03] drew212, but having ndiswrapper installed already could be the problem also [09:03] drew212, try to delete it before [09:03] uhh... how would i go about that? [09:03] drew212, sudo apt-get --purge remove ndiswrapper [09:04] drew212, maybe now the package is named differently i have to check [09:04] its ndiswrapper-common [09:04] Hello everyone I've been trying to set up Giver to transfer files to my laptop over lan [09:04] im getting it now... [09:04] yes or ndiswrapper-utils or ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 [09:04] done... [09:04] I was able to transfer a whole video but now the connection doesn't work anymore [09:05] drew212, now restart and plug the card to test what's happening [09:05] ActionParsnip1: yeah i deleted both of those and still not working. I think i just might have to reinstall gimp [09:05] could someone explain to me how stfp works? [09:05] DougM: i suggest: sudo apt-get --purge remove gimp; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install gimp [09:05] just a sec... [09:05] drew212, im back in a sec a go to drink water [09:05] ActionParsnip1: alright ill give that a shot.. thanks a lot for your help. Really appreciate it [09:05] i made a udev rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/ but it is not working. I need to use a usb device not being root [09:06] seems to be booting fine now =) [09:06] nope... [09:06] it just got farther than it usualy does =X [09:06] DougM: np man [09:06] caps and scroll lock blink...

[09:07] using repository? [09:07] !info ireport [09:07] Package ireport does not exist in jaunty [09:07] with the star? [09:08] yes [09:08] ActionParsnip1, usbtiny avr iscp programmer [09:08] i use 8.10 intepid [09:08] cyberjorge: its not in the standard repos so you will need a ppa [09:08] drew212, it will remove all beginning by ndiswrapper [09:08] i can use eclipse to use the programmer not as root but running avrdude from the commandline i have to be root [09:08] is there a simple way to rebuild /var/lib/dpkg/available ? dpkg keeps throwing an error about a parse error in it (it looks like a bunch of binary data got dumped in there) rather than trying to manually remove the faulty data, can i just rebuild the file? [09:08] cmartin0: you can use sudo -i [09:09] couldnt find package ndiswrapper* [09:09] ActionParsnip1: i'm sorry but what do you mean by PPA, there's no linux version in the jaspereports dowload [09:09] !ppa | cyberjorge [09:09] cyberjorge: With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [09:09] ActionParsnip1, point is to use a udev rule so i dont have to su or sudo === keanu is now known as [keanu] [09:10] jacquesdupontd: what do you think now? [09:10] drew212, it has something to do with acx [09:10] drew212, im checking [09:10] alrite =) [09:11] ActionParsnip1: sorry i'm too newbie for these especially building the source [09:12] cyberjorge: just make sure you backup any and all files you edit so you can easily roll back [09:12] drew212, it will takes me 5 minutes [09:12] is there anywhere to get an ireport package with .sh installer? [09:12] jacquesdupontd: thats fine =) [09:13] i have hardy and jaunty partitions that both worked. jaunty still works, but now the hardy partition will not boot, freezes in recovery mode on a line about "generic cd-rom driver." i can read and write to the partition.

[09:15] drew212, it seems it's what's happening to you, im searching further [09:15] sure [09:15] does anybody now how well the latest stable ubuntu distro works with a docking station for Lenovo x200? [09:15] *know [09:15] hug [09:16] drew212, maybe updating package of acx foundable on soundforge will give you the link [09:17] updating the package of acx on soundforge? [09:17] drew212, type : grep -n "ACX_RELEASE" acx_config.h [09:17] I ran update manager and it pulled over a new kernel 28-14 I have 28-13 currently installed. when it prompted me for menu.lst I accidentlly hit keep current. Whats the right way to add this new kernel to menu.lst [09:17] do i need an internet connection? lol [09:17] that could be a minor problem [09:17] no [09:17] why does Ubuntu have several system loggers and cron daemons installed? [09:18] i mean yes to update it drew212 but type the command first please [09:18] drew212, i need to know the version of your acx [09:18] ActionParsnip1: hey i un-installed gimp using sud apt-get --purge remove gimp and sudo apt-get --purge autoremove then i typed cd ~; ls -a and the gimp files i renamed are still there. I went to delete them using rm .gimp-2.6_old but its saying rm: cannont remove '.gimp-2.2_old': Is a directory [09:19] ActionParsnip1: how do i delete those two files [09:19] its not showing anything... [09:19] drew212, then i have the only and last solution for you check that page and please come back to me to tell me if it worked http://acx100.sourceforge.net/ [09:19] DougM: use 'rm -r ' [09:19] DougM: rm -fr ./.gimp-... [09:20] cool thanks guys ill try that [09:20] let me restart... [09:20] -r is recursive and -f is "force" (don't bother asking me silly questions) [09:21] jimd, DougM: there's almost never a reason you want to force it. [09:21] it says there is no such file or directory for the last command you sent me... [09:21] agreed. and if there is, you better be sure you want to delete it. [09:22] why does Ubuntu have several system loggers and cron daemons installed? [09:22] Flannel: ok.. so i should usually use 'rm -r '? [09:22] drew212, i gave you a link [09:22] Sadly, as a professional sysadmin, I usually want to force it. :) [09:22] haha [09:22] It becomes a reflex after awhile. [09:23] alrite, well im exhausted for tonight, ill check back tomorrow... [09:23] drew212, ok then bookmark the page it's your last chance === papapep-afk is now known as papapep [09:23] yeah, if not, im buying a supported card pronoto =P === bloupotlood_ is now known as bluepencil [09:24] Hi guys, is there an easy way to transfer files from on Jaunty machine to another Jaunty machine? [09:25] drew212, hehe would be a better choice but im sure you can make it work i read a bit and it's makeable [09:25] rsyn -e ssh local_files other_system:/target_directory [09:25] rsync even. [09:25] its so weird after re installing gimp im still not able to open it by clicking on the icon.. i have to go through terminal [09:25] bluepencil: the rsync can work in either direction, too. [09:25] anyone have any other ideas why this might be happening? [09:26] DougM: Presumably the icon is pointing at the old version/location. Try right clicking on it and looking that the icon's properties. [09:27] jimd: ok.. i did that now what am i looking for in the preferences? [09:27] Hey, i have a very bad gpu, could you guys point me to a version that would work for me [09:27] Preferences? I think you mean properties [09:27] jimd: sorry im really new to ubuntu [09:27] yeah properties haha [09:28] Look at where the command line is. Paste or type the same thing you'd type at your command line into that field in the properies. [09:28] See? [09:29] jimd: ok so under command it says gimp-2.6 %U but when i open terminal i type 'gimp' to open it. so im replacing whats in there now with just 'gimp'? [09:29] BTW: that works pretty much the same on Windows and MacOS .. the properties dialogs look a little different but the gist of it is the same. [09:29] DougM: I'd try that. It should work. [09:29] jimd: alright one sec let me try [09:30] hello? [09:30] Hello there - I have an Ubuntu server acting as a gateway for the internet. Now at the moment, one user can use all of the bandwitdh of the internet which obviously stops all other users from accessing the internet at good speeds. How can I control bandwidth per user (and maybe per port)? [09:30] jimd: wow your good.. iv been trying for like two hours to get that to work haha. Thanks a lot i really appreciate it. [09:30] right click is your friend [09:31] haha [09:31] good to know [09:31] Under most OSes if something doesn't seem to work right when you click on it, try right clicking or holding down funny "command" or "alt" keys while you click. [09:31] jimd: middle click is a reasonable acquaintance [09:31] do i have voice (sorry for being anxious) windows crashed on me again [09:32] and im not reinstalling it [09:32] mint: we see you. [09:32] mint: your voice is working here. [09:32] Hi, i have a question, i want to find out if an xml-file has the right (utf-8) encoding, any idea how i do this?

[09:34] well i couldnt see any text [09:34] openbox rocks [09:34] The latest Mac laptops still only have a single mouse button. In fact on the recent one's I've seen the whole glidepoint is a big mouse button. [09:35] no idea? anyone :D? *sigh* [09:35] ok, so is there a ubuntu distro/version that will work with my old gpu/monitor [09:35] mint: If you can't see text then you have a different problem. We can certainly see yours. [09:35] no i see now [09:35] jimd: Apple made a mouse that could recognize right clicks, but they didn't give it separate buttons. They just made one big button that can recognize the right and left hand sides being touched [09:35] jimd: yeah but the bottom right corner of the trackpad is still a right click [09:35] Hello there - I have an Ubuntu server acting as a gateway for the internet. Now at the moment, one user can use all of the bandwitdh of the internet which obviously stops all other users from accessing the internet at good speeds.

[09:36] and i have few cds i dont want to waste them with trial and error [09:36] DougM: I think that may be a preference setting. My friends all use [Command] (clover-key) to achieve a "right" click. [09:36] jimd: yeah thats what i use on my iMac [09:36] richard: everyone can see the internet fine yes, but if one user downloads something at really high speeds, it sometimes stops the internet for the rest of the users. [09:37] rayno_b: is it one user in particular or just whoever is downloading? [09:37] Hi. I have a problem with ALSA: My mic stop works? after kernel updating. I reinstal Alsa,. Any ideas? [09:37] mint: perhaps you could be a bit more specific. What part doesn't work? [09:37] Ooops! I am using Jaunty and in Compiz settings ticked "blur windows" and not everything is as ghostly black rectangles. Please could someone point me as to how I can reboot and change this blur setting off even from the console. I have already reboot and tried "xfix" but to no avail. All I can do is alt-SysRq,R,E and Ctrl-alt_del to reboot once it has got to the desktop since nothing is ledgible. [09:37] richard: this is the case for everyone. [09:38] graphics [09:38] i have a VERY old monitor and gpu is crap [09:38] richard: I've read up on QoS. It seems I should be doing something like QoS or something called "Traffic shaping"? [09:38] v4us: run alsamixer from command line and unmute anything that's muted [09:38] rayno_b: yes that's right [09:39] mint: there's only been one juncture that I recall where newer releases of X lost support for a number of older monitors. [09:39] rayno_b: it sounds like your gateway is functioning as it should by default [09:39] You'd have to revert to a pretty old Linux distro to use such an old version of X (the graphics subsystem). [09:39] whats the command in xchat to give you my gpu hardware info [09:39] that may help [09:40] mint: lspci | grep graphics [09:40] It would be far, far cheaper to buy a low-end video crd. [09:40] moin [09:40] Yeah you might try /msg -exec #ubuntu lspci | grep -i video [09:41] richardcavell: don't work [09:41] v4us: can you get into alsamixer? [09:41] But usually just issue the lspci | grep command in another xterm and paste it into the channel. [09:41] v4us: from a command line, within Terminal, type alsamixer [09:42] richardcavell: yes i can [09:42] v4us: and then go to capture [09:43] my monitor is a little older than that [09:43] http://www.lli.com/images/store/comp-networking/nec_monitor.jpg [09:43] v4us: press tab and you'll see [09:43] richard: can you point me to some instructions on the web to get "Traffic Shaping" sorted out? [09:43] rayno_b: mate, I'd just google it [09:43] richard: gmf [09:43] how i change the resolution of the desktop? [09:44] hi all. Question: when I send to print a document with cups-pdf, where is the pdf file created? I mean, in which directory? [09:44] rayno_b: I just typed it into Synaptic and it's got something there [09:44] what live cd should i get [09:44] What's gmf by the way? Did he just insult me? :/ [09:45] So many acronyms these days, it's hard to keep up [09:45] richard: lol [09:46] richard: I would never insult anyone helping me :) I was just making a type of *sigh* sound - I've been googling this all day and haven't found my answer yet. That's where the 'gmf' came from :D [09:46] 我晕倒 怎么这么多人 [09:46] zhangjm: is that really how you feel? [09:47] rayno_b: you can use trickle to shape bandwidth for users [09:47] what happened to bogomips is lshw? [09:47] rayno_b: But there's shaperd in the repos [09:47] this is my computer [09:47] http://support.gateway.com/s/PC/5200Series/1008291/1008291nv.shtml [09:48] msg DougM ？ [09:48] ! bogomips [09:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about bogomips [09:48] this where ？ [09:48] richard: I'll check out trickle, thank you. [09:48] Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 900 with up to 128 MB shared DDR memory [09:48] zhangjm: What is your question? [09:48] after the ubuntu update from yesterday night, i don't have sound anymore :( i have a creative labs x-fi soundcard [09:49] sooo is there a version i can run [09:49] Are there any girls ah？ [09:49] zhangjm: I know enough Chinese to know that is not what you asked before === papapep is now known as papapep-afk [09:49] also, there are no proprietary drivers anymore in the manager, although i was using a proprietary driver for my soundcard before [09:50] did the update reset this somehow? [09:50] hi all. Question: when I send to print a document with cups-pdf, where is the pdf file created? I mean, in which directory? [09:50] whoa, so gnome-terminal can display unicode, awesome [09:50] richardcavell: I'm sorry [09:50] DrZeus: no idea honestly, but probably somewhere in /var [09:50] gentlemen [09:50] behold [09:51] is there a mirror to download the ropositories for offline use? [09:51] Ademan: omG [09:51] DrZeus: find it? [09:51] phreck: why would you need to DL from a mirror? [09:51] mint: The integrated Intel graphics should be fine. [09:52] Ademan: made a find search from console. Didn't threw anything [09:52] richardcavell: not have chinese people ? [09:52] mint: where do you live? What city is near you?

[09:53] n2diy: well. im not in norht america. so i was hoping there was an asian mirror [09:53] DrZeus: maybe find "$HOME" /tmp /var -iname '*.pdf' 2>/dev/null ? [09:53] hi [09:53] everything is close in colorado, im tabernash (winterpark) [09:53] hrm, well i guess you wouldn't want to search all of $HOME for pdfs, but it might be in your home dir [09:53] I know there's a pretty good users' group in Boulder .... but have you looked for one in Denver? [09:53] n2diy: i wouild like to get my 8.10 machine and my 9.04 up to date, note they do not have internet connections nor is there a way to get them online [09:53] hi all [09:53] zhangjm: this channel is in English [09:53] !cn [09:53] zhangjm: what do you want help with? [09:53] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [09:53] point me to an iso [09:53] so i can burn it [09:54] is there a way to install ubuntu on two separate drives to shift the load(my ssd is very slow) [09:54] all those language specific channels are just dead [09:54] It might be much easier to haul your system to an installfest or meet up with someone at a users' group to help you in person. [09:54] THANK YOU ,I SEE [09:54] phreck: just download whatever yoy can find!? Ubuntu isn't based in North America. [09:54] n2diy: is there a central repo? [09:54] thats what im getting at [09:54] one spot with everything [09:54] Ademan: nothing. [09:54] BYE [09:54] om26er: yes you can [09:54] Does anyone know the command at bash for the compiz configuration manager? [09:54] phreck: yes, it is pre-installed. [09:54] mint: There are a vast number of old liveCD you could try ... if you work at it you could probably still find an 8 or 9 year old KNOPPIX. [09:55] om26er: what components do you wish to install elsewhere? [09:55] god this sucks [09:55] n2diy: what? [09:55] DrZeus: sorry, no idea then... [09:55] Ademan: thanks anyway [09:55] the repoi isnt pre installed [09:55] im stuck in a linux mint live cd running in comatability mode [09:55] richardcavell: i don't know but have on one drive and the other half on the other [09:55] phreck: yes, the repos are pre-installed. [09:55] that url might be [09:55] DrZeus: there's a small #cups here on freenode though, someone in there might know [09:55] n2diy: no. [09:56] Ademan: I checked the cups web admin and shows me that those pdf jobs were cancelled [09:56] pretty odd [09:56] GarbledScreenAft:have you installed compiz settings manager? [09:56] richardcavell: help me man [09:56] DrZeus: yeah interesting, maybe something interesting would be in /var/log/cups ? [09:56] phreck: they are here, and have been for years, maybe what you want isn't supported by Ubuntu? [09:56] salve [09:56] mint: I'd still suggest looking around for a $20 (or less) PCI VGA adapter and trying it. [09:57] wait, why [09:57] n2diy: youve completely missed the point of my question. Take note, im not some noob. [09:57] i got vga [09:58] phreck: sorry, what's the question? [09:58] is there some very standard command line video conversion program I should know about? One that doesn't use much cpu? [09:58] duckwars: mencoder will do whatever you need [09:58] Sorry! Here is what Channel ? [09:58] Is there a way to download all of the repositories for offline use. [09:58] Ademan: I can just aptitude for that? [09:59] duckwars: the versions in repos are VERY old normally [09:59] i know that apt already has them all linked and whatnot [09:59] duckwars: yep, i think the package is just mplayer though [09:59] i was wondering if there was a central repo for everything. [09:59] you mean it won't have the video conversion software? just the player? [09:59] duckwars: no, if you install the mplayer package it should also install mencoder [09:59] who can tell me ,what is chanel [09:59] duckwars: ffmpeg and mencoder both in the repos [10:00] zhangjm: this is the ubuntu english channel.What is the problem? [10:00] well i just did sudo apt-get install mencoder, that'll work? [10:00] indus: you are english people? [10:00] how do I run ~/.config/compiz/compizconfig in bash?

[10:15] Ademan, mkinitramfs does not install [10:15] q0_0p: dont you need to make an initrd image after compiling? [10:15] yeahuyen: open a terminal, and type in "top". Top is top. [10:15] q0_0p: you don't have mkinitramfs? it should be in the initramfs-tools package that i mentioned earlier [10:16] indus, im' already done compiling [10:16] Ademan: i found the issue; it was needed to create a folder called PDF, go get the files there [10:16] Ademan, my bad [10:16] ok... this is very bad [10:16] DrZeus: ouch that sucks [10:16] n2diy, firefox seems normal [10:16] q0_0p: Ademan:what ademan says,i believe you have to run command mkinitrd [10:16] DrZeus: but glad you fixed it [10:17] fsck no succh file or directory.... /dev/lvm-raid/lvm0 after kernel upgrade and reboot... how can I fix this without losing everything?

[10:21] q0_0p: so finished compiling,now you need the initrd to mount it [10:21] q0_0p: hmm [10:21] Ademan: ok [10:22] indus, i found initrd program [10:22] but not a jaunty though for older ubuntu [10:23] yeahuyen: no, Firefox has memory leaks. Quit top, then type killall firefox, and restart firefox, and you should be ok for about 24 hours. [10:23] q0_0p: arent you supposed to change into /boot and make the initrd? [10:23] n2diy, already my system is using 51.2 % [10:23] q0_0p: thats how i remember doing it once [10:23] indus: Hi, thank you for responding. Sorry I just left the room to take a deep breath. Please understand this. I can't make out ANYTHING when Ubuntu Jaunty loads the desktop. I can get to bash after reboot. install conpizconf-settings in bash just gives an error. I think I am in the root folder. I am in the *dark* here since I am not farmiliar with the name of the text configuration file.

Did anyone of you have success with nvidia-glx-180 and 2.6.28-13 and 2.6.28-14? [10:34] and the driver is on [10:34] How do I remove windows pretty please?

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [10:34] Johnny2: if you boot the live cd, you can destroy the windows partition and than add the free space to your ubuntu partition [10:34] on sistem hardware dirvers [10:34] tavi: did you do the whole restricted driver thing? [10:34] say activated and on [10:34] Johnny2: you cant 'remove' windows, you need to partition drive [10:35] what? [10:35] Trijntje I downloaded ubuntu [10:35] how do i format the partition that windows is on? [10:35] tavi: one moment, i just did this let em refresh ym memory [10:35] Johnny2, backup your data and then use gparted [10:35] tavi_: you have installed driver from nvidia, its not recommended method, go to main menu>system>administration>hardware drivers [10:35] Johnny2, on the liveCD just open a terminal and type sudo gparted [10:35] Johnny2: have you installed ubuntu already? [10:35] indus: Sudo nano /etc/x11/xorg.conf ... did not show any file in GNU NANO 2.0.9 ... will try next suggestion now.

[10:37] i do not know [10:37] could someone help me get mdadm to assemble the arrays properly on reboot. I tried mdadm --examine --scan --config=mdadm.conf >> /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf but that doesn't seem to work either [10:37] can you use swap partitions on two different hard drives at the same time? [10:37] I don't know how to do it hahah are you sure there's no way to remove the windows partition? [10:37] i have that from nvidia site [10:37] i tried sh..... and say and error [10:37] GarbledScreenAft: sudo shouldn't be capatialized. [10:37] Johnny2, there is a way [10:38] tavi: it should say in the tab he just sent you to [10:38] :D [10:38] Johnny2, just copy all valuable data elsewhere before [10:38] ?

You have to 'update' your installation to a 'real one' [10:40] Johnny2: chill man. [10:40] Johnny2: because your ubuntu is inside the partition you have your windows on [10:40] oh god [10:40] :/ [10:40] tavi: first try goingt o add remove and type in nvidia, see if there is an nvidia drive that says 180 [10:40] hi to all .. can someone help me with vsftpd configuration ..i have a web folder with many subfolders in it .. how can i choose wich users can see wich folder ?

[10:49] indus i don think so [10:49] indus: its dangerous making him do that through synamptic isnt it? add remove is better [10:49] innomen: oh no not at all, synaptic is very easy,just more options , i want him to reinstall that driver [10:50] indus: okay. just deleteing "config" file made not change. I will delete whole compizconfig# folder.

[10:50] ademan I don't know why it won't do it automatically, but I can at least get it working by manually activating the raid arrays and lvm when it fails to boot... irritating, but works [10:50] indus: when i installed 180 i did it through add/remove and it worked perfectly, but now that i'm looking at it in synaptic, there are lots of 180s unchecked, how he going to knwo which oen to initally grab?

I looked at it first. it had like 2 lines in it an didn't look interesting. It is however in the compizconfig# folder so it will surely get deleted when I delete the compizconfig# folder...

[11:13] jezi22 : http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html [11:13] Johnny2: not likely [11:13] Johnny2: a) mind your language b) doing backups is never a bad idea [11:13] Beyecixramd, ur my man:D [11:13] sorry about the lanbuage [11:13] 640*480 [11:13] language [11:13] and the window is hugeeee [11:13] tavi_: do u have lcd monitor?

[11:15] indus: neato, thanky [11:15] TAB powa:D [11:16] MerlinW: aaah, sad. I promised not to touch Windows never again =3 [11:16] indus: its still not seeing his card *shrugs* i dont know version 8 [11:16] MerlinW: maybe someday we will be really free, not depending on windows ~ [11:16] innomen: his card is working fine,rendering 3d is enabled, some xorg config problem i suppose [11:16] ok so how should i go about making ubuntu my only operating system [11:17] Beyecixramd, i have a imac too instead "win" :D [11:17] Johnny2: Install it from CD [11:17] indus: or like you're saying something about the monitor? === uknow_ is now known as uknow [11:17] Myrtti: has your laundry died? [11:17] MerlinW: i don't like apple, in fact i hate apple. [11:17] I dont have it on cd :( [11:17] so any ideea? [11:17] innomen: ya might need to manually set resolution [11:17] MerlinW: but i hate more Microsoft than Apple. [11:17] Beyecixramd: i dont have it on cd [11:17] MerlinW: Anything else is better than Windows, even FreeFOS xD [11:17] FreeDOS* [11:18] n2diy: #ubuntu-offtopic [11:18] Beyecixramd, osx is good... [11:18] at xrandr in terminal the same resolution is shown [11:18] gah, finally got java 64bit FF plugin working.. and all i had to do was grab the bin and link the plugin, why couldnt the pkg manager do that [11:18] Johnny2: Download it and burn [11:18] ok [11:18] tavi_: in terminal type nvidia-xconfig [11:18] Myrtti: 10-4 [11:18] Beyecixramd: dont forget usb sticks [11:18] tavi_: lets see if that works [11:18] Beyecixramd: how can i backup what i have on ubuntu now and get it back on once ive formatted harddrive and reinstalled ubuntu [11:18] innomen: oh, true, but i prefer a CD than a US [11:18] USB* [11:18] tavi_: can u give me a screenshot of nvidia-settings ? [11:18] Beyecixramd: i refuse to use CDs on principal, same reason i dont have a diskette drive [11:19] Johnny2: Get an external HDD, or burn it to a DVD, something like that, IDK [11:19] :) [11:19] !PASTE | tavi_ [11:19] well yes [11:19] tavi_: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [11:19] innomen: USBs are OK too =3 [11:19] tavi_: aah use imagebin.org [11:19] Johnny2, pack tar/gz ur datas (for the permissions), and backup somewhere [11:19] Beyecixramd: how can i do that :D drag /home and /etc to my 8gb usb? [11:20] Johnny2, DVD? [11:20] Johnny2: Only /home i dont recommend you copying /etc === k4k4 is now known as cO [11:20] i do nto handle imagebin [11:20] http://paste.ubuntu.com/235823/ [11:20] how can i back up what ive got on my os now so i can use it once ive formatted just drag and drop? [11:20] dgfdgd [11:20] Help ! My DVB-S2 drivers dissapeared after the last update :( i tryed to compile them again and install them again but there is no dvb folder in /dev/ :( [11:20] Johnny2: Also, copy the only files you really need, not the entire /home partition [11:20] Johnny2, DVD, USB, Network, another HDD, etc... use ur fantasy:D [11:21] MerlinW: Network? you mean internet? [11:21] im so confused [11:21] Johnny2: i would recommend tar.bz2-ing your home directory personally [11:21] Ademan: is right [11:21] tavi_: imagebin/org at bottom go to paste your image [11:21] so i can just drag and drop my applications and files and then once ive reinstalled drag and drop them back? [11:21] Beyecixramd, no, i mean local network, but if he has fast connection...:D [11:21] imagebin.org [11:21] http://imagebin.org/57606 [11:21] MerlinW: LAN then. Only possible if you have more than 1 PC =D. [11:22] Ok I'm gonna try this, somebody please tell me if I'm doing it wrong. step 1 download ubuntu cd installer, step 2 drag all the applications/files in home that i want to usb step 3 install ubuntu step 4 drag those applications and files onto desktop? [11:23] Johnny2, yes, but if u backup other directories (usr/local, etc, whatever) u have to pack tar or gz or both, for the right permissions [11:23] indus [11:23] ? [11:23] any ideea [11:23] ? [11:23] Beyecixramd, LAN is a network too, right?:D [11:23] tavi_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:23] tavi_: yes? [11:23] uhh gibberish to me sorry im a noob what exactly do you mean? [11:23] well? [11:23] any ideea? [11:23] tavi_: well , wait [11:23] well i am a little hungry [11:24] MerlinW: in fact, LAN is only network, and internet is called WAN xD i thought you meant WAN instead of LAN (like uploading your data to a hosting service provider) [11:24] Johnny2: How did you install ubuntu originally? was it dual boot or via wubi? [11:24] dual boot [11:24] Beyecixramd, concentrate to the "N" word:D [11:24] tavi_: please paste output of cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf [11:25] Djones: dual boot [11:25] MerlinW: OH NO! the "N" word D= xD [11:25] i wish there was an ubuntu cereal [11:25] DJones: thank you. I think he has wubi, but I'm not sure anymore. [11:25] Johnny2, tar -cf backup.tar /home /etc /usr/local etc... [11:25] gecko1: ubuntu cereal? lol [11:25] ubuntu mmm [11:25] Johnny2: Right, if it had been wubi, i'd seen a link that would have helped you, but its not going to be the right one for dualboot [11:25] http://paste.ubuntu.com/235828/ [11:26] whats the diffrence between a compiz theme and a gtk 2.x theme? [11:26] tar: Removing leading `/' from member names [11:26] i just want me computer theme to match the plastic, black, instead of looking like cream candy :) [11:26] if i shake it real hard will that help? [11:26] tavi_: what monitor do u have? LCD ? [11:26] well yes [11:26] i think is lcd [11:26] or plasma [11:26] my brains going to xplode [11:26] tavi_, sorry, whats the problem? [11:26] Myrtti: If it had been wubi, pop.ey's link for conversion would have been ideal [11:26] on description on site says licquid crystals [11:26] Johnny2: :O take it easy, man [11:27] what tools like apticron,fail2ban and logcheck are recommend to have a save server? [11:27] tavi_: main menu>system>preferences>screen resolution [11:27] tavi_: try there? [11:27] breathe johnny2 [11:27] DJones: which I gave already. I still think it's wubi, but since there's no clear answer on if it is, I'm stumped and have to move on [11:27] show me the only two i can [11:28] tavi_: hmm ok [11:28] tavi_: ok wait 1 min [11:28] I crated a shared folder in Vbox (Ubuntu host w/ XP guest). I want to have the shared file which is located on the host, be the "my Documents" folder for XP (guest). Any concerns I should be aware of with this set up? [11:28] 640*480 and 320 * 240 [11:28] ok [11:28] Johnny2, "Removing leading `/' from member names" its ok, skip it [11:28] troythetechguy: you have to setup a network between your VM and your host. try google [11:29] Johnny2, its working, that is just a comment [11:29] :S [11:29] its not doing nothing [11:29] double negative, whats it supposed to be doign? [11:29] doing*** [11:29] indus: i tried what you suggested but the desktop is still not right. When windows appear, they are black and permanaently make that part of the scrren black. I have booted of the Jaunty LiveCD since I don't really understand bash and how to do stuff quickly. Perhaps you could tell me what I can do to reset compiz from this position. [11:29] Johnny2, what is nothing?:) [11:30] GarbledScreenAft: just disable it and go backto metacity type metacity --replace [11:30] well [11:30] Johnny2, r u use sudo, right? [11:30] the command [11:30] just said [11:30] i have problems with jackd. anyone knows how to handle it with a firewire audio interface [11:30] i am a little hungry [11:30] have some ubuntu [11:30] oops [11:30] it still only comes up with tar: Removing leading `/' from member names [11:30] tavi_: me too, sorry tavi, i think you need to google it or someone else here may help you [11:30] Beyecixramd: afaik vbox supports host fs sharing natively thru its kernel module [11:31] indus [11:31] ohir: yup, it does [11:31] waddup bitches [11:31] but by triond install what i have dowloaded from nvidia site whit recovery console? [11:31] tavi_: have you tried upgrading to a newer version? or maybe manually adding the resolution in xorg conf? [11:31] Timmy2Tall, watch the language [11:31] So why does this place have so many people in it? [11:31] adding manualyy the resolution? [11:31] no [11:32] tavi_: well,you can try it,but it might make your display not start at all [11:32] so what i do? [11:32] !nvidia [11:32] troythetechguy: it should work if you first do this sharing and then points windoze to use it as your winhome (docs) folder [11:32] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [11:32] Timmy2Tall, this is ubuntu support; do you have a support question [11:32] hi, i have an internet problem, sometimes after a while, it seems that the dns goes down so i can't browse anymore. Just now it went down and i can't ping www.google.com but i'm still connected (unknown host) [11:32] Johnny2, try this: sudo tar -czvf backup.tar /home [11:32] jado: are you behind a router? [11:32] you trying to tell me all 1000 of these ppl need support? [11:32] Timmy2Tall: not really [11:32] indus: Each time I try metacity --replace it give an errors saying that it can't open the display or something. [11:33] tavi_: do you have any onboard graphics card? [11:33] yes [11:33] Timmy2Tall, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [11:33] i hope [11:33] jado: that happens to me sometimes. In my case it is caused by a weak wifi signal...my computer is disconnected from the wifi, but doesn't know it [11:33] Beyecixramd: a home router yes, if i reboot it it's going to work, but i'm trying to find another solution than always rebooting [11:33] th0r: i'm connected with an ethernet cable [11:33] troythetechguy: just bear in mind that docs folder is never your true winhome as windoze heavily uses its default place for many things, ie TEMP folders bookmarks and so on [11:33] tavi_: you could also try installing nvidia-glx instead of nvidia-glx-new [11:34] jado: well...that takes care of THAT excuse [11:34] jado: try reconnecting your cable instead of rebooting the router [11:34] indus [11:34] thsi is what we have done? [11:34] jado: maybe your DHCP server is not working well [11:34] tavi_: we installed glx-new, there is a package called glx which too is fine [11:34] but performance? [11:35] tavi_: a little older, but i have used it,works fine , you could try [11:35] lower? [11:35] Beyecixramd: the problem is on every computer of the house, not just mine (windows XP/vista or ubuntu) [11:35] well [11:35] tavi_: no [11:35] tavi_: ia play quake 4 so it works fine [11:35] indus: is there a shortcut key to start the console. then I can run the console from the desktop and type metacity --replace! [11:35] we could try fix this ? [11:35] jado: then the problem is probably coming from your router, the DHCP server, try to change the router [11:35] I wrote a little Ati Catalyst auto install script: http://mwo.sytes.net/index.php?cid=137 [11:35] Beyecixramd: what's with the DHCP ? i do have an ip address; the problem is more on the DNS right ? [11:35] GarbledScreenAft: right now you have a GUI or no? [11:35] let's try edit that xorg? [11:35] GarbledScreenAft: or just some black screen [11:35] jado: DHCP is the system the router uses to assign a IP in your internal network (LAN) [11:35] this download the newest catalyt driver, compile and install [11:36] indus: I have booted from the liveCD and have a PERFECT GUI... [11:36] tavi_: well,wrong values might damage your monitor, find out what the monitor is, then try [11:36] GarbledScreenAft: aah no start regular system [11:36] i know what's the monitor [11:36] say on him [11:36] man [11:36] Beyecixramd: yes, and i do have an ip address so the problem is not coming from there (i'm well connected on internet as i'm talking to you right now) it's just that i can't solve domain names [11:36] modfy that xorg or installing glx ? [11:36] tavi_: hmm i suggest modify xorg [11:36] jado: Does your router resolve DNSs from a preconfigured IP? [11:37] virtualization on intel atom is it possible [11:37] well let install that glx [11:37] GarbledScreenAft: with live cd,how did you delete that compiz folder? [11:37] let's say [11:37] and after install that glx can i install the glx -new [11:37] ? [11:37] !virtualization [11:37] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !kvm is the preferred approach in Ubuntu. See also !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [11:37] Beyecixramd: what do you mean? from a computer with a fixed IP? [11:37] om26er: of course it is, it will be slow, but yes, it is possible [11:37] or will do same problems [11:37] ? [11:38] tavi_: will same problems [11:38] indus: okay I restart the pc and it is going to the desktop but it generally becomes black within about 10 seconds after getting to the desktop so I won't know what windows are on or what I have typed. [11:38] jado: have you checked the DNS settings on your router? [11:38] indus [11:38] check this out [11:38] GarbledScreenAft: are you typing from another machine? [11:38] MerlinW: its doing all this junk does that mean its working lol [11:38] Beyecixramd: tell me a good n lite client [11:38] on nvidia settings in terminal [11:38] HEY I GOT BANNED IN OFF-TOPIC [11:38] tavi_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [11:38] привет всем [11:38] MerlinW: what is that command you gave me doing? [11:38] Hello [11:38] om26er: QEMU is highly recommended [11:38] Timmy2Tall: and you're about to be banned here [11:38] I need unbuntu support [11:38] Timmy2Tall, lose the caps [11:38] Is this where i can get help using kubuntu? [11:38] Timmy2Tall: then ask [11:38] I just did [11:39] Dator: #kubuntu [11:39] non7top, #ubuntu-ru for Russian [11:39] I got banned from unbunto off topic [11:39] !kvm [11:39] i need to be un banned [11:39] kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [11:39] merlinW? [11:39] at xserve display settings say 640*380 crt .....and i do not have a crt i have a lcd [11:39] Beyecixramd: i don't see such a setting in the router config [11:39] Johnny2, its packing the files and directories with own permission settings in a backup.tar file [11:39] bazhang: спасибо, то что надо было [11:39] Timmy2Tall: please stop spamk, just ask a ubuntu-related question [11:39] non7top, /join #ubuntu-ru [11:39] oooh thanks babe [11:39] tavi_: ok i have 1 option which can work [11:39] np:) [11:39] okay, how is firefox made? [11:39] jado: then it's autoresolved, definitely the problem comes from the router [11:39] merlinW: can i talk to you in private [11:39] Beyecixramd: ubottu says kvm is preferred what u say [11:39] Timmy2Tall: what? [11:39] tavi_: in terminal type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [11:39] come [11:40] !pm MerlinW hi [11:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about pm MerlinW hi [11:40] fail [11:40] Beyecixramd: yes but why the problem goes away when i reboot it ? [11:40] Timmy2Tall: ask a *support* question please [11:40] don't feed the troll [11:40] so what is it? [11:40] om26er: QEMU is lighter, WAY lighter [11:40] ubottu, hm?:D [11:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about hm?:D [11:40] ok [11:40] ok [11:40] now?

[12:29] i have 1280*1024 @ 19 '' RUNNING FINE IN UBUNTU 9 .04 [12:29] Blizzerand, as i said before i do have dual booting [12:29] Dextorion and iceroot here the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/235872/ [12:29] and at nvidia -settings on terminal i have You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server [12:29] NVIDIA 6600GT [12:29] indus yes [12:29] and now i have this [12:30] tavi_: huh what? then nvidia is not enabled [12:30] iceroot, how do i find a bluetooth module [12:30] ok bye [12:30] quit [12:30] quit() [12:30] tavi_: need to restart pc then [12:30] MartinE : But Not within Windows (I think thats what I meant) [12:30] q0_0p: for what? [12:30] ok [12:30] hi, where can i find the changelogs of programs (linux-image in my case?) i upgraded via synaptic and id like to know what it fixes [12:30] its saying enable usb suspend [12:30] for bluetooth module [12:31] iceroot, and it keeps on asking me [12:31] q0_0p: yes, its showing you some ways to increase the battery-life [12:31] hosoka1, that only tells that you have mplayer installed. As you should gmplayer is just a graphical front end for mplayer, and thats where your problem is. [12:31] iceroot, how would i find that module [12:31] lsmod gives me a lot of stuff i dont know [12:31] Raydiation: go to history [12:31] hosoka1, the problem is that gmplayer can not find any default skin to use. [12:31] q0_0p: you dont have to find it, there is a key to press, so that is step is done [12:31] q0_0p: read the output of powertop [12:31] but i press and it still keeps on asking me [12:32] so obviously i must disable it [12:32] by modprobe -r [12:32] Dextorion: how to have the default skin installed ? [12:32] q0_0p: sorry dont know [12:32] What's a good hyperterminal replacement? [12:32] hosoka1, so.. mplayer works fine. gmplayer will use mplayer just fine. but gmplayer cant find any skin in /usr/share/mplayer/skins/default/skin [12:33] indus: i only see which packages i upgraded there [12:33] Raydiation: which ones do u want to know? [12:33] asker: in terminal type xfce4-panel does that bring them back ? if it does then add that command to Autostart so it runs everytime you boot [12:33] Dextorion: how to have this solved ? [12:33] indus: linux-image-2.6.28-14-generic (2.6.28-14.47) [12:33] Dextorion: is gmplayer and mplayer all the same tool ? [12:34] hi, since removing a partition and converting my other partitions to ext4, the ubuntu splash screen dissappears at some point while booting and i'm getting text output. why? [12:34] scunizi: minicom [12:34] hosoka1: GMPlayer is the gnome front-end to mplayer [12:34] erUSUL: thanks.. [12:34] hosoka1, try sudo apt-get install mplayer-skins, or sudo apt-get install gmplayer [12:34] indus: ah ok i found the changes on launchpad https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-security/+archive/ppa/+build/1132300 [12:34] ty [12:34] Raydiation: click on package , then go to package changelog [12:35] back [12:35] nowww [12:35] hosoka1, yes. mplayer and gmplayer is the same. mplayer for console, and gmplayer for graphical frontend. [12:35] * Beyecixramd back. [12:35] again whit 640*430 [12:35] indus: wow, this is cool too :) [12:35] Raydiation: :) [12:35] and 320*240 [12:35] hosoka1, when yoiu installed gmplayer, did you use "sudo apt-get" ? [12:35] what to do? [12:35] is it possible to boot vista from ubuntu from a diffrent hd [12:35] Raydiation: ultra cool [12:35] heheh :) [12:36] !grub | uknow [12:36] uknow: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [12:36] so what to do now?

[12:37] Raydiation: whats it called in german? guten change? :) [12:37] Blizzerand: yeah ultimately it did [12:37] hosoka1, great [12:37] fotoflo: without purge the configuration files are kept (no matter how messed up they are) [12:37] Paddy_NI : lol [12:37] nah not dual boot [12:37] indus: xD, download protocoll of changes [12:37] indus? [12:37] tavi_: yes [12:37] fotoflo: so if you want to start from scratch purge all apache related packages [12:38] sjlkg: thats easy to fix. ok to pm? [12:38] Dextorion: so I will skip to install the gmplayer [12:38] tavi_: ok try it [12:38] erUSUL: ok [12:38] uknow : You mean boot vista from ubuntu [12:38] I installed the Mplayer via the GUI [12:38] legend2440: yep, go ahead :) [12:38] hosoka1, yes. the problem was the skin.

[12:39] tavi_: dont install that package [12:39] fotoflo: i do not know what you have in mind... just jumped in to point out the difference between purge and remove [12:39] tavi_: install nvidia-glx [12:39] !lamp | fotoflo if you want a lamp setup follow instructions here [12:39] fotoflo if you want a lamp setup follow instructions here: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [12:40] erUSUL: i had a working lamp setup earlier today... [12:40] may be a problem to an update made by ubuntu? [12:40] fotoflo: so you know what to do now... good [12:41] installed [12:41] now what i do?

[12:41] i just did a purge [12:41] !dontzap | tavi [12:41] tavi: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. [12:41] why is apache2 the newest version? [12:41] anyone know how to change the menu toggle in screen? i want to use mc in screen but the mc menu hotkey is also bound to F9. Checked in screenrc but its not defined there [12:42] it didnt purge any files [12:42] ! [12:42] http://files.getdropbox.com/u/169177/UbuTaza.jpg n_n!

[12:45] *the live cd [12:45] uknow_: your system is not 64bit? [12:45] ubuntu: unmount the partitions [12:45] no i guess not [12:45] I have a multitouch touchpad and by default I have to use three fingers to do a right click, and two fingers for a middle click. [12:45] uknow_: i686 is x86 .. if you don't have a dual core machine then the 64 bit version won't load [12:45] hi [12:45] uknow_: mm yeah what sysatem is yours? [12:46] scunizi: even a dual core machine could be 32 bit [12:46] scunizi: intel [12:46] older [12:46] how to enable direct rendering ? [12:46] what part [12:46] uknow_: is your processor 32 bit or 64 [12:46] jrib: they already are [12:46] scunizi: what has dual-core to do with 64bit? [12:46] mataks: It should be enabled by default [12:46] if i install a software, where this software will be installed, in which folder will be installed? [12:46] jrib: when i go to install [12:46] how can i tell [12:46] indus: yes.. but the point is if his machine isn't 64 bit then no matter how hard you try you won't load a 64 bit os [12:46] ubuntu: you said they were mounted, I said to UNmount them [12:47] scunizi: there are also 64bit single-core cpus [12:47] uknow_: uname -m [12:47] AHHAHAahHAH [12:47] it seems to be working [12:47] like the athlon 64 [12:47] Leoneof: dpkg -L PACKAGE will tell you but why? [12:47] can you create a second acct and give it the same settings as the first? or put another way, where is the personal settings that can be copied? [12:47] SSL is still FUBAR, but... hey, better then nothing [12:47] !who | uknow_ [12:47] uknow_: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [12:47] Beyecixramd, but mine is not.. i type glxgears in terminal i get error msg about direct rendering but if i type SUDO glxgears i don't get the error msg.. [12:47] jiohdi: in ~/.* [12:47] mataks: are you in the video group?

I mean such partitions are mountable on the desktop but when i go to install they aren't shown :/ [12:48] jrib, I am a noob to all this... what does that mean in stupid [12:48] !aptitude [12:48] aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [12:48] Beyecixramd, what you mean? im jjust new in linux [12:48] Leoneof: k but you should never really touch those files unless it's to configure something in /etc/ for example [12:48] Leoneof, this is not windows [12:48] uknow_: to see if your cpu can handel 64 bit cat /proc/cpuinfo uname will only tell the architektur of your current running os [12:48] *jrib: I wrong speaked [12:48] mataks: have you installed Ubuntu by default? did this happen before [12:48] jrib, bs [12:48] ubuntu just run the partition manager from system>administraion and it will mount it [12:48] hello every body [12:48] ubuntu its a bug [12:49] iceroot: yea its i686 [12:49] !hi:newlinuser [12:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about hi:newlinuser [12:49] iceroot: incorrect , uname -m lists machine type [12:49] uknow_: and why need 64bit? you have 4gb+ ram? [12:49] Beyecixramd, yes i installed by default.. [12:49] DaZ: it's not bs... [12:49] hello i've already removed SCIM from my notebook [12:49] Ubuntu also have REGISTERY like in Windows that store the settings of software?

So by ~/.* I mean all of the files in your $HOME that begin with a '.' character. These are hidden by default so use ctrl-h or View -> Show hidden files to see them [12:51] indus, the partion manager also can't see the partitions :/ [12:52] Beyecixramd, how to add new user? [12:52] ubuntu:in terminal mount -a? [12:52] DaZ: in general, probably not [12:52] mataks: yes, you know how? [12:52] ubuntu:when you open partition manager what do u see? [12:52] jrib, so if I copy them to the new user all the settings will be turned to the old user preferences, right? or do I have to do something more than copy? [12:52] clflush size [12:52] DaZ: if there's a problem with the package and you know what you are doing, then you *should* file a bug, patch the package, and use the updated package [12:53] indus, partition manager says unallocated space [12:53] i try mount -a [12:53] !flash [12:53] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [12:53] *all* unallocated space [12:53] ahh Ubuntu finally updated the Kernel :) [12:53] jiohdi: yep, that should work.

[12:58] scunizi: also mount -a u tried? [12:59] indus: sudo fdisk -l shows 8 partitions [12:59] indus: i can mount them from the menu in ubuntu, but ubuntu can't recognize them whn i go to instakll the system [13:00] think lastnight..something was telling me..ubuntu is your distro...im always going from distro to distro...but lastnight nothing eccept ubuntu would install on my system. [13:00] *install [13:00] ubuntu:no problem, i suggest you use partition manager to edit the partitions first. [13:00] is current version of gnash actually competitive with adobe flash? in terms of compatiblity and performance [13:00] ubuntu and do the install later [13:00] nm, its working [13:01] im doing: chown -R user SECURE/ and its saying operation not permitted? [13:01] AdvoWork: u forgot sudo [13:01] but you probably used it [13:01] AdvoWork: try sudo chown -R user:user SECURE/ [13:01] janisozaur, hm, i'm not sure [13:01] indus: yeah but i told you before than partition manager can't see the partitions and sees only "unallocated" space :) [13:01] *that [13:01] janisozaur, not at all [13:02] asger: "uname -a", dos it say x86 or x86_64?

[13:04] asger: then you should use flashplugin-nonfree from repos [13:04] use gparted live cd [13:04] ubuntu: are you currently using the live cd?

[14:15] Xerran, mm ok and did you install the drivers for that? [14:15] Grub Help please. (I've seen the link).. Grub error 15 .. so I reinstalled grub, no joy.. then I booted to the live cd and checked out /boot/grub/menu.lst .. looks normal for a dual boot machine and uuid's for the partitioins match blkid.

I just turned off Visual effects and now can not turn them back on [14:16] indus i have to go to school, i will work on this later. thank you for your help!

From the 7000 to the X1950, you can use the open source "radeon" driver. All cards newer than the X1950 must use the proprietary "fglrx" driver.

[15:31] any of you know how to setup something similar to remote desktop connection for ubuntu... i would like a gui so i can configure or control the downloading of torrent files, and i basically need to view that.... unless you suggest that there is a good web interface for torrent downloading [15:32] how to have like kde icons on panel? that' is customize icons on panel [15:32] I remember such a thing sp0 [15:32] !vnc | spO [15:32] spO: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [15:32] a torrent client with web interface to load new torrents on and see the progress of torrents and such [15:32] hi [15:32] i cant use my headphones. the sounds only comes from the speaker im using jaunty and the input works fine [15:32] Hi [15:32] asger : Might be a bug though .(or you have any other plugin installed which blocks the other) I will look out for any ubuntu forums posts on the topic .

[15:33] Is there any guy who could tell me where can I find a Windows XP crack ? [15:33] Dream-Stalker, the question is does usb modile broadband dongles support linux [15:33] aaronvarghese_: does your mixer software have a headphone volume slider or switch? [15:33] same thing titan :) [15:33] metallica, #windows [15:33] thanks [15:33] metallica, or maybe #douchebag [15:34] are usb mobile broadbands supported on linux? [15:34] Hatsjoe: spO not the case it has a daemon an a gui that can be in different machines [15:34] lol@Titan8990 [15:34] asger : *No* . Just ask in the forums and just wait for a few minutes and there you will be with good responses [15:34] Hi all. I just did an upgrade that required a restart. After the restart I get a grub error ...invalad executable Press any Key to continue. And then a list of kernels to load. 2.6.28-14 gives the errors. 2.6.28-13 still works. Any ideas on how to fix this? [15:34] On my Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop machine I have lost my Auto eth0 Wired Connection and can't get it back.

[15:38] ya [15:38] there is one [15:38] Dream-Stalker: have an ati sierra wireless usb dongle on 8.10 plugged it in and it just worked, had the phone number and everything knew the default user name and password was a nice surprise [15:38] anyone know why the group file on ubuntu 9.04 would revert to just three groups? [15:38] and its checked [15:39] yeah [15:39] asger : Its huge but may be helpful . http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 [15:39] aaronvarghese_: and you've verified that one of "front" "side" or "rear" volumes is turned up [15:39] huh [15:39] Blizzerand, thx. I'll have a look at it [15:39] no its just a check mark [15:39] on the switches tab [15:39] aaronvarghese_: yes, but the mixer itself should have a slider for one of those three. [15:40] ok [15:40] lemy check [15:40] JenniferB: on ubuntu the package is qmt [15:40] no [15:40] there are none [15:41] aaronvarghese_: you may have to enable them; have a look at the preferences dialogue, there should be a number of sliders that you can enable.

[15:56] hey folks, anyone know why i would lose my groups file. i restored it form groups.bak but all my policykit permissions are messed up. [15:56] papapep: Some people have no internet connection and they need to transfer packages using their usb sticks. So it would be great to write a script which would list all links of all the packages that are required for installing some package. [15:56] schmrz: See http://apt.alturl.com/ [15:57] Is there anyone who can help me configuring me sound? My soundcard was default in my laptop, and it is recognized by ALSA but it won't produce sound. [15:57] I know this problem is common and I followed the sound troubleshooting which didn't work. [15:57] Also OSS didn't do the trick. [15:57] schmrz: also you can browse the web with a text based browser, but that would be a dependency nightmare...

[15:58] NqqmNet: changing the kernel does not change permissions on anything [15:59] freakynl: if the 500k upload also didn't work, what makes you suspect that overflow is the issue? [15:59] lstarnes, i chown and now i cant su/sudo [15:59] what does kk mean? [15:59] NqqmNet: you should never mess with the permissions of / [15:59] too late ;p [15:59] how to have kde icons and panel in gnome? is that possible [15:59] NqqmNet: if possible, reboot, go into recovery mode, and fix the permissions on / [15:59] papapep: "okay" (emphatically) [16:00] sipior: simple, if i reduce the values to say 2040M uploads go fine. if values are at 4096M can't upload even the smallest of files with php warning: PHP Warning: POST Content-Length of 1532529 bytes exceeds the limit of 0 bytes in Unknown on line 0, referer: http://192.168.246.92/index.php?a=mod_doc [16:00] sipior: oh, thx :) [16:00] lstarnes, whats the permissions on / [16:00] especially the 'limit of 0 bytes' [16:00] Did not work th0r.

[16:01] lstarnes, okey tnx [16:01] mataks: you can run kde-panel (if that's the name), but probably the logout / shutdown options won't work; look on gnome-look.org for matching icon themes [16:01] fnord2: I don't use pulse so am doing this from memory...there is a padevchooser if I remember right...run it and check the pulse config settings [16:01] sipior: well, 32bit integers overflow a bit over 2047M, but if I check the php module with file it appears to be a 64bit lib [16:01] Is it okay if I query you th0r? [16:02] sipior: or well to be exact it overflows a 2048M, 2048M - 1 byte should be ok :D [16:02] fnord2: keep it here in the channel....I don't know much about pulse [16:02] Ah. [16:02] Well, I'm not that into sound etc, padevchooser?

Don't know if it will help, but if I remember correctly I needed it to get pulse working when I tried it [16:07] I'm running Ubuntu 9.04. I succesfully downgraded and locked xserver and related packages so that I can use the fglrx drivers. It worked, but I didn't like the catalyst so I decided to revert.

[16:09] :P [16:10] Well, on my former laptop the sound worked directly. [16:10] On this laptop it didn't, [16:10] is that the desktop version? [16:10] and I tried the sound troubleshooting guide from ubuntu. [16:10] Darken87: yep [16:10] Then someone gave me a topic which said he fixed it by using OSS. [16:10] Didn't work either.

[16:20] ya but it failed [16:20] i'm interested [16:21] PhillipA: I have the number files somewhere...would have to look for it [16:21] darken; try the desktop remix then [16:21] I called the company and they said to take it and have it repaired [16:21] th0r: I tried booting into 28-13 and it still failed to work. When I right click on the network monitor in my notification area 'wireless network' is no longer an option. [16:22] is that the netbook one? [16:22] Darken; yeah [16:22] jmazikowski: yeah, that is what happened to me, but backing up to -13 fixed it.

This was middle mouse in KDE. [16:28] ldlework_: dmesg | grep usb [16:29] amgarching: do you mean roll it up so the title bar is all you see? [16:29] does ubuntu LTS have GPT in the default kernel? [16:29] jmazikowski; I'm not using the madwifi driver. Not sure how to debug your problem. [16:29] or something, it's usually /dev/sdb1, if you have just 1 hdd [16:30] I'm running Ubuntu 9.04. I succesfully downgraded and locked xserver and related packages so that I can use the fglrx drivers. It worked, but I didn't like the catalyst so I decided to revert. Everything is back to normal 3d support is no longer working. any idea how I can get 3d working again with the open source ATI driver?

[16:35] jmazikowski; says madwifi is already active and in use. [16:35] ramavadakattu: Another solution might be an endless bash script. [16:36] ramavadakattu: that way, the next invocation starts after the program finishes. [16:37] stercor : ok but i need initiate that script manually on my production server so iam thinking to go with * * * * * [16:37] ramavadakattu: With the crontab, you might get several instances running at the same time.

[16:41] sipior: does it run with the system up or down? [16:42] nsgn: since you'd be imaging the partitions, best if they're unmounted first :-) [16:42] stercor : sure i will figure it out no problem [16:42] I would just like to say thank you to the entire Linux community. You guys Rock!

[16:42] I see on USN-808-1 that updated packages or bind have been released http://secunia.com/advisories/36060/2/ [16:43] nsgn: best just to use rsync in that event [16:43] donnybrasco: hi [16:43] ramavadakattu: man bash [16:43] but I'm not seeing them when I do an apt-update + apt-get upgrade [16:43] donnybrasco: most probably another package management software is running [16:43] Hey people, just wondering if any networking gurus have any time to help me with a strange one? :) [16:43] nsgn: or play around with zfs snapshots, but that's not exactly bulletproof on linux atm [16:43] masquerade: no that's not it [16:44] donnybrasco: did you try to do a clean reboot?

[16:45] sipior: perhaps i should be looking at some method of doing file level backup to a virtual filesystem disk image [16:45] ramavadakattu: while 1 do ... done [16:45] nsgn: you might have a look at http://rsnapshot.org, which is based on rsync also.

[16:48] how does one change the location of fuse mount point from "~/.gvfs" to another location? Is that even possible?

[16:48] thanks mbeierl [16:48] hur har har! ok, let me ask this then. i am familiar and comfortable using rsync from my BSD days, but am unfamiliar with disk images or virtual filesystems under ubuntu. what would be the best way to set a single file on the smb share that mounts locally as a linux filesystem for rsyncing into? === kb is now known as Guest71654 [16:48] saml: call it from within that file [16:49] once i've got it all figured out i'll just script it to be smooth [16:49] nsgn: actually, i'm a liar. look here for a preliminary gui effort: http://code.google.com/p/flyback/ [16:49] markl_: I have a couple of ubuntu machines, 9.04, separated by a 100Mbps leased line. The two can communicate happily for a while, but when there is a moment of network inactivity (like when I go home :)) the connection drops. Re-establishing the connection takes a long time. A tried running arping and tcpdump on both sides, and the ARP broadcasts don't get through... until about 100 of them have passed, then they work? :| The only kit inbetween is a cisc [16:50] sipior: ah, ok, i'll take a look. i may well just do it via plain ol rsync and a mounted disk image. where do i get a crash course in a good type of disk image for this setup? === caue is now known as Cawas [16:50] list === Cawas is now known as CR [16:51] Hollah! ;] [16:51] hi [16:51] how could I keep the sysstat data for a month, not for one week as it's by default ?

Ubuntu 9.04 & Nvidia [16:55] MartinE: did you checksum the .iso you used? [16:55] sipior: 1) it's on a windows server and i don't trust the integrity of how NTFS handles individual file attributes, 2) NTFS fragmentation (a big issue on this server) is much easier to manage without dumping a whole system's worth of 30,000 files on it 3) i'm about to bring a second server into the situation and portability of this backup file would be nice since i'm undecided where my backup will reside long term [16:55] jackd and ffado almost work now.... but after some seconds jackd stops. here i have some info: http://www.pastie.org/563702 http://www.pastie.org/563696 [16:55] the original iso was downloaded directly from ubuntu and has installed within windows on my other pc without problems. I haven't checksummed the usb [16:56] does anyone know the name of the gui network configuration tool in 9.04? It no longer seems to be in the menus. [16:56] sipior: i'd just love one file stored on NTFS that mounts up as a local r/w filesystem on ubuntu. i did it constantly on macosx/bsd using apple's disk image format and rsync to backup [16:56] i am having trouble getting flash player to work with firefox 3.5 in Intrepid AMD64.

[16:59] xangua, I Can't remember any trouble in the combi Intel <> compiz [16:59] anyone+ [17:00] jum................... [17:00] Would there be a reason for the loud clicking? [17:00] any ideas why FireFox is a tad slow, like with scrolling the page etc ? [17:00] well im having one [17:00] got any ideas in what i shud do? [17:00] do u think that it failed to correcly make a boot disk ? [17:00] jipsy, I mean, not the hardware support kinda problem [17:00] thehit4hire u use pidgin ? [17:00] i'm just having one heck of a time finding a read/write disk image approach for ubuntu [17:00] Yes [17:01] anybody? [17:01] jipsy, ? [17:01] jipsy, are your ccsm settings all right? [17:02] SnakDoc I am using pidgin [17:02] thehit4hire thats whats making noise i use to have that issue i found cutting sound down would fix it but still no idea as to y it does that [17:02] yeah it worked but when i reboot i lost all my effects [17:02] nsgn: well, those are good reasons, although i'd just avoid ntfs to begin with (realising grudgingly that that may not be entirely realistic for some) [17:02] jipsy, If so: try compiz --replace from the terminal, what does it say? [17:03] How can I share a printer on my net.. I got windows XP and I want share with LAN .. [17:03] thehit4hire i switched to Empathy which is going to be default far as i know in 9.10 and it works without static noise [17:03] then i again make another cube then i again reboot my laptop then again i lost my previous setting with compiz [17:03] sipior: oh i know, but ntfs is the reality on this server. that isnt changing. am i just googling horribly or is there really no common read/write disk image methods for linux/ubuntu? [17:03] wat do i type in the terminal?? compiz? [17:04] "compiz --replace" [17:04] SnakDoc When i first installed ubuntu on my laptop the sound worked great. Then all of a sudden about four hours later anytime I try playing a sound the speakers start making a very loud and fast clicking noise. I dont know hat would cause this [17:04] ok wait ill try [17:04] Is it possible to change the location of fuse mount point from "~/.gvfs" to another location? [17:04] nsgn: well, you'd generally make use of the loop device under mount, but i'm not sure how that reacts with samba. not something i've ever tried. [17:04] nsgn: what do you mean by "linux filesystem"? [17:04] I have a ATI Radeon Xpress 200 (on board graphic chip). Is there a driver I should download & install, or not bother? [17:05] how do i format a drive with ntfs-3g I've got it down to mkfs.ntfs? /dev/sdb1 but I cannot figure which fs to specify [17:05] thehit4hire not sure maybe someone else here will know more about sound and can help better mine was just with pidgin [17:05] Snakdoc: Thanks [17:05] there is no openoffice.org-ogltrans to isntall, how can I get openGL transition on opeoffice 3.0.1? (I'm using ubuntu 9.04) [17:05] jrib: i mean a single file that can be stored on the NTFS server, but mounted over here it would be a linux native filesystem i can rsync into without any concern over loss of file attributes, etc [17:06] can someone tell me the correct procedure to create a bootable usb stick so I can install ubuntu on my laptop whose dvd is broken [17:06] ext3 or the like [17:06] nsgn: I see. Why not just tar.gz your backup? [17:06] my sun java isnt working on 64bit ubuntu jaunty, i've tried googling.. is there a factoid or can someone point me to how to get 64bit java to work in a web browser (firefox) on jaunty? [17:06] MartinE: theres an article on the wiki.. [17:06] jrib: can i update a tar.gz file weekly without re-creating? [17:06] When i first installed ubuntu on my laptop the sound worked great. Then all of a sudden about four hours later anytime I try playing a sound the speakers start making a very loud and fast clicking noise. Would anyone know what would cause this? [17:06] snadge: have you installed the java plugin ¿¿ [17:07] yabuk: it was removed because stability issues [17:07] xangua: i have installed the java plugin.. the problem seems to be the applets fail to initialize/launch properly [17:07] thehit4hire: could be that you need to restart pulseaudio? [17:07] xangua: so, there is no way to use it?!!!!!! [17:07] *is there === Hatsjoe is now known as Hatsjoe`Cooking [17:08] wait untill next ubuntu release¿¿ yabuk [17:08] nanotube: Oh ok how would I go about doing that? I have never used ubuntu before today. [17:08] xangua,ok, thanks [17:08] What was the update for in ubuntu? [17:08] hey guys! having PA issue with freshly upgraded 8.10 from 8.04 [17:09] http://pastebin.ca/1511162 [17:09] thehit4hire: oh... well in that case, easiest thing is to just reboot, and see if that helps, rather than manually hunt the pulseaudio processes :) [17:09] nsgn: well I know you can with a regular tar but I'm not aware of backup systems to take advantage of this [17:09] thehit4hire: "sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart" in terminal should do it === Shaan7 is now known as Shaan7|dinner [17:10] jrib: so how the heck are people backing up that dont want to take a fresh 100gb image every week, nor do they want 30,000+ files sprawling on a remote server? [17:10] VCoolio: that doesn't work for me when my pulseaudio is dead, have to manually kill processes... [17:10] nsgn: they do the sane thing and use an actual linux filesystem... [17:10] VCoolio: hence, i don't suggest it... [17:10] nsgn, they only back up what is changed ;} [17:10] nanotube: ok, fair enough [17:10] nsgn: interesting discussion here, for your perusal: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=246500 [17:11] !backup > nsgn [17:11] nsgn, please see my private message [17:11] nsgn: try "rsnapshot". it's doing great for me. [17:11] nsgn: another thing to try is "rdiff-backup" [17:11] nsgn: I would go through the options presented there, visit the official sites and search the documentation for "ntfs". That may give you a lead [17:11] nanotube: isn't there a "force reload" option that would work? [17:11] nanotube: I rebooted the PC a few minutes ago and when it logged back in the computer played the startup sounds fine but no mp3's movies or other system sounds will correctly play? [17:12] jipsy, still alive? [17:12] nsgn: looks like it may be possible to loop-mount a file-image that has been exported via smb. [17:12] ha shit i partitioned with gparted and now i can't boot lol [17:12] VCoolio: read the source of /etc/init.d/pulseaudio, force-reload and restart do the same thing. [17:12] I am trying to check the size of a partition through SSH, what command should I use? [17:13] VCoolio: at any rate, even "stop" doesn't kill the processes when pulseaudio is hung. so... :) [17:13] dagama: fdisk -l [17:13] nsgn: if that doesn't prove fruitful, then look at how wubi works... [17:13] thehit4hire: hrm... then i'm a bit out of ideas. [17:13] darthpidgin it sais that unknown option [17:14] sipior: well, if we say for the moment that this isnt practical or possible, of dumping all the files on ntfs or just running the full 100gb image each week i'd rather run the full image. is there any method for doing so with the filesystem mounted? [17:14] cellofellow: that doesn't give any feedback [17:15] nanotube: I have searched online but to no avail. I have realtek ACL250. [17:15] when i typed "compiz --repair" the computer read and the screen was like reading then it told me that "unknown option" [17:15] dagama: you have to supply the disk you want to list. fdisk -l /dev/sda for example [17:15] hey guys i need some help in installing something any takers on helping a village idiot ? [17:15] it's 'compiz --replace' [17:15] !ask [17:15] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [17:15] dagama: oh, it gives the size in blocks, hm [17:15] ok ill try again [17:15] hey is there any way i can mark a ntfs drive as active under ubuntu? the only way i'm aware of is the supergrub cd [17:16] nsgn: you know, one possibility would be to generate the filesystem diffs with rsnapshot, saving them to a loop filesystem on your linux box, then push that image out to your ntfs filesystem. [17:16] jipsy, so first open gnome-terminal, then type compiz --replace [17:16] ok im trying to install the livedvd file thing so i can play dvd's [17:16] Pr0Br0: active ? you mean bootable ? [17:16] dagama: never mind the, not sure which command will give you the size in GB.

[17:17] does anyone here know anything about fuse and/or gvfs on ubuntu? [17:17] i think, the DVD version is not live [17:17] jipsy, and further? [17:17] i think i just got spoiled by apple's excellent and completely smooth ability to use read/write disk images from a remote network share [17:17] cellofellow: ok :) [17:17] hmm [17:17] never was [17:17] I'm not african-american, how do you pronounce ubuntu and not look like an idiot? [17:18] but bootable [17:18] mook: apt-get install libdvdread3 ? [17:18] oebuntoe [17:18] hey thanks erUSUL i'll try that out, just throw that in the terminal?

[17:56] Hey guys, I'm wondering if someone can help me troubleshoot a Jaunty frreeze problem. I've spent that last 5 days on the forums and internet looking for solutions and I cannot figure out what the issues is. I've upgrade my kernel a few times and now I'm on 2.6.30. The only thing that has been congruent throughout the process is the last log in the message logs are tsc clocksource unstable [17:57] michalxo ok; tell me again the first problem that led to this mess? [17:57] how do i install firefox ffrom tar.bz2? [17:57] om26er: there should be an option in the grub menu that looks like "Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-14-generic (recovery mode)" [17:57] porter1 yea, ##Linux [17:57] fosa: did you try using the PPA for it first? [17:57] Quiznos, hrm. Tougher crowd there. Oh well :P [17:57] fosa: Why are you trying to do so? [17:57] lstarnes, yes it's not finding the package [17:58] !ff35 | fosa [17:58] porter1 more mental energy needed, mmmmm. [17:58] fosa: Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 and firefox-3.5-gnome-support | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko on your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY [17:58] capsule summary: The cooling fans on the notebook never start, so the laptop overheats. I can solve *this* problem by loading the i8k module, and can then control the fans either manually with i8kctl or automatically with i8kmon. BUT: As soon as I load i8k.ko, it disables the keyboard and trackpad.

[17:58] mbeierl spread the wealth of questions around [17:59] I removed all firefox packages and installed firefox-3.5 and all dependencies, which installed firefox-3.0 and firefox which linked to firefox-3.0. This was esily fixed be symlinking to 3.5, but did I miss something? [17:59] Quiznos: I am really sorry, but I am not following what you are trying to say at all :( [17:59] michalxo ok; peek at proc/interrupts for strangeness [17:59] mbeierl that's ok [17:59] fosa: What did you do to get that error? [17:59] jipsy: find the background you like then right click it save image as [17:59] how do you build from tarball? isn't it just like make and make configure? [18:00] fosa: no [18:00] AJC_Z0, sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 [18:00] fosa: ./configure; make; make install [18:00] fosa: there's usually an INSTALL or README file in there with instructions [18:00] michalxo ok nuttin speeshul there [18:00] Hey guys, I'm wondering if someone can help me troubleshoot a Jaunty frreeze problem. I've spent that last 5 days on the forums and internet looking for solutions and I cannot figure out what the issues is. I've upgrade my kernel a few times and now I'm on 2.6.30.

Thanks anyway. [18:00] cellofellow, thanks [18:00] fosa: Maybe your chosen software repo had a problem. Try another [18:00] Quiznos, are they my guys? [18:01] mbeierl k;yw [18:01] fosa: for the pre-built tarball of firefox, it's already compiled and can be run from its own directory [18:01] AJC_Z0, i'm following this guide: http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/06/firefox-35-rc-1-ubuntu-repository-deb.html [18:01] michalxo huh?

[18:15] Quiznos, my previous problem before "upgrading" PAudio was this http://pastebin.ca/1511162 === marvinp_ is now known as marvinp [18:15] alright...better question: does the current version of the builtin Network Manager (for 8.04) properly support WPA2? [18:15] how do I change the server, need to get to euIRC [18:16] pls === marvinp is now known as marvinp_ [18:16] jueves: /server [18:16] where do I type it...in here?

[18:17] Quiznos, what fill into file? :-/ [18:18] nothing at first [18:18] scunizi: if they're on the same LAN, yes [18:18] Quiznos, restart X? [18:18] yes [18:18] ok [18:18] ok, i'm googling it now, but anyone know of a way to rename files, using the lines from a text file as the filename additions? like turning Dilbert.1x01.avi into Dilbert.1x01.The Name.avi [18:18] lstarnes: thanks.. can you tell me basically why you'd want a different subnet within a lan? [18:18] so, im wondering if there is a way to find the windows xp misuc folder in ubuntu to copy or is that not really possible [18:18] scunizi: 192.168.0.x is the subnet [18:19] scunizi: you can NOT have two machines on same LAN with identical adresses. [18:19] ohir: I should say subnet mask [18:19] jet_: Did you install ubuntu inside of windows, or did you restart with a CD in your drive? [18:19] Quiznos, back [18:19] . [18:19] ubuntu was installed first [18:19] :( [18:20] scunizi: though its ok when person A has it in his home and person B has same in her home [18:20] scunizi: a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 with a network of 192.168.0.0 covers 192.168.0.0 through 192.168.0.255 [18:20] jet_:Then you should be able to open your windows partition from the "Places" menu [18:20] xp is on a virtual machine im using PUEL virtual box [18:20] Oh, virtual box [18:20] hah [18:20] any idea why a usb drive would be greyed out in virtual box> [18:20] ohir: lstarnes I guess I'm asking why you'd want some machines on a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and others on 255.255.0.0 [18:21] scunizi: 255.255.255.0 is _within_ 255.255.0.0 scope [18:21] I'm wondering if someone can help me troubleshoot a Jaunty frreeze problem. I've spent that last 5 days on the forums and internet looking for solutions and I cannot figure out what the issues is. I've upgrade my kernel a few times and now I'm on 2.6.30. The only thing that has been congruent throughout the process is the last log in the message logs are tsc clocksource unstable [18:21] scunizi: a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 is equivalent to 192.168.0.* while 255.255.0.0 is 192.168.*.* === sale_ is now known as sale [18:21] jet_: USB is not supported in the open source edition of vbox that is in the Ubuntu repositories. [18:22] Pici: im using PUEL vbox [18:22] jet_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/USB [18:22] scunizi: so no, you cannot have two machines adressed 192.168.0.100 on same LAN [18:22] jet_: Then ask in #vbox [18:22] Quiznos, ask on #pulseaudio for help? [18:22] scunizi: another way to notate it is using CIDR [18:22] Pici: thanks [18:22] lstarnes: so with the second subnet mask I could effectively do an address range of 192.168.1.1-255 ? [18:23] michalxo yea. i dont know what the fix is for this. [18:23] scunizi: 255.255.0.0? [18:23] i'm stumpted [18:23] ok Quiznos thank you for your time anyway ;) enjoy rest of day ;) [18:23] michalxo ##Linux ##Linux-coders (if awake) [18:23] michalxo you too ty [18:24] hey. im running update manager and i got, for menu.lst, that the locally modified version can be updated. but i made changes regarding my hardware in the file, so what option is best to select? [18:24] yo [18:24] evening all [18:24] should i merge/keep local/switch etc [18:24] scunizi: yes. But you should better stay with 255.255.255.0 as most examples of networking setup uses network C (/24 in CDIR notation) [18:24] well this was exciting; i'll be bok [18:24] lstarnes: yes.. I have a voip server and phone system with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 and was trying to figure out if I can change it to 255.255.255.0 to make it easier to access the backend admin functions via browser thereby eliminating the need to change the subnet mask in the networking to access it. [18:25] scunizi: if you want to "separate" networks on same LAN you use 192.168.0/24 192.168.1/24 [18:25] networking of the pc that is. [18:25] scunizi: can you access it without changing the subnet mask? [18:25] lstarnes: no === Hatsjoe`Cooking is now known as Hatsjoe [18:27] scunizi: you also need to set up broadcast address if you change the mask. If you can not figure voip appliance setup, you may resort to change mask within your home network accordingly. [18:27] scunizi: is the voip server on the same LAN as your current system? [18:27] lstarnes: yes [18:27] hello === sammy is now known as Guest54230 [18:29] hey does gparted work on a live cd? [18:29] like on the ubuntu live cd? [18:30] cause don't you have to reboot to do all the partitioning and stuff? [18:30] ohir: the device has it's own gateway address that defaults at 192.168.1.* [18:30] Pr0Br0: You can onyl partition the drives while they are not mounted, so no, you don't need to reboot to finish the paritioning. [18:30] Pr0Br0: Yes [18:30] Pr0Br0: I think gparted has its own live cd [18:31] join #sf-eng [18:31] hmm yeah i might have to download that [18:31] irc.onlinegamesnet.net [18:31] does the current version of Network Manager work with WPA2 wireless? [18:31] Pr0Br0: Its also on the Ubuntu LiveCD, so you don't need to download the gparted livecd. [18:31] yeah i'm using the ubuntu live cd [18:32] hi, I broke my sound, can someone help me fix it? [18:32] br?

[18:36] russel_: I think there is a program called wubi that can do that, google it [18:36] I ask this because my laptop does not have cdrom drive [18:36] will i even be able to browse a ntfs formatted partition through a usb connection? [18:36] is that wubi some kind of emulation? [18:37] it runs the ubuntu system through a windows filesystem [18:37] Pr0Br0: You can use the wubi installer or, you can use unetbootin to make a bootable USB drive [18:37] thanks I'll look into that [18:37] kk [18:37] russell__: You can use the wubi installer or, you can use unetbootin to make a bootable USB drive * [18:38] i don't need to boot i only need to browse for files [18:38] guys, is there a way to put newer kernel into 8.10 than 2.6.27-14 via repos?

If you had not done !enter I wouldn't have to have made such a mistake. As for linking a network I am assuming that you want to share an internet connection, is that correct? [18:47] and can you put ntfs files on ext3 fs? [18:47] Jeruvy: Can I make such that the display automatically switches to my laptop, when i disconnect my external monitor? [18:48] spO: ext is not a file, it's a file system. There are a few programs you can use that will let you view linux files on your windows partition. [18:48] no [18:48] Jeruvy: And to the monitor's native resolution [18:48] spO: you don't need to do any special conversion for files originally made on one filesystem to be moved to another [18:48] encino: Then what are you attempting to do? Set up a VPN tunnel between two networks?

[18:53] still can link up to home and office [18:53] ya [18:53] will be able to resize it's current partition so i don't lose my old os? [18:53] Jeruvy: I just tried out my laptops Fn-F7 sequence.... it seems to do what I want :) Thanks for your help though. [18:53] my friend tell me i need 5 servers or more [18:54] each place need to hookup with one server and modem [18:54] then can start up my virtual lan [18:55] owen1_: you trying to set the clock from command line? [18:55] my friend say can try using openvpn [18:55] encino: Then linux does have the tools you need. However you would most probably want to choose a primary site and set up a VPN connection to each of the three other sites from there and have that location route the packets. Alternately you could set up VPN-tunnels between all sites (every site has three tunnels). It depends on how much bandwidth is availible at each site and how your [18:55] How do I identify which /dev/? my newly connected USB external hard drive is connected to?

[18:57] mechtech: yes :) [18:57] thanks pepperjack =) [18:57] Hi! I'm having some trouble with jdownloader. I can't open it from the console, it only opens from desktop rightclicking and selecting "open with java" [18:57] what is the difference between the different kernels that i'm presented with at my boot manager? [18:57] ubottu sorry i dont know [18:57] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:58] Hello, I'm trying to set up a GRE tunnel to get through a restrictive firewall; do I need to create a tunnel at both endpoints to get traffic through? [18:58] dreamborn: they are just older kernels than the one you are using now [18:58] dreamborn: usually top to bottom most recent. any time there is an update the new kernel should be top one [18:58] blueeagle : do you know how i can get it done [18:58] why is the iso for ubuntu , the computer platform is labeled amd64 ..... as in AMD the company? [18:58] ok so i should always use the most recent? [18:58] dreamborn: i believe they're left there in case you have troubles with new updates. [18:58] dreamborn: yes [18:58] spO: no its 32 bit (386) and 64 bit (amd64) [18:58] ok thanks all [18:58] encino: It depends. Do you want a tunnel between all sites or do you want one site to act as a central hub? [18:59] qs: do you have access to the firewall? And is it a hardware or software firewall? [18:59] spO: many people still use amd64 to refer to all 64-bit x86 processors, not just amd's [18:59] where did the amd in amd64 come from? [18:59] encino: Also, how familiar are you with subnets and routing? [18:59] cause amd is the first one to majoritly commercialize 64 bit processors? [18:59] BlueEagle, confused...can you plz give me a link to download a lightweight server version for my macintosh? [18:59] mechtech: I don't have access to the firewall, and I don't have access to it. But I believe I can pass GRE traffic across it (someone I know has done it before) [19:00] spO: yes in a nutshell [19:00] blueeagle i think between tunnel will be good [19:00] spO: essentially, yes [19:00] mechtech: I do have access to a machine on either side however, and I want to pass traffic from one to the other. [19:00] Any good XDCCBrowser software for Xchat or another client [19:00] qs: ok...lemme research...brb [19:01] mechtech: thanks [19:01] spO: x86-64 and x86-64 are often used instead to refer to 64-bit x86 processors [19:01] what is the program called XM free or something that is supposed to be like remote desktop manager intead of an vnc? === jono_ is now known as jono [19:01] if using one central hub better or all running tunnel better ? [19:02] qs: can you ping the second machine? [19:02] lstarnes, don't you mean x86-64, amd64 and intel 64 are used to refer to 64-bit x86? [19:02] Hi all. How can I upgrade Firefox to version 3.5.1 with the correct branding, as it is released now? Additionally, can anyone give me the name of a good GUI download manager, instead of the omnipotent WGET [19:02] mechtech: no, the firewall drops ping packets (but I can ssh, etc) [19:02] qs: ok [19:02] dewdude: I already covered amd64, intel 64 is used more often to refer to intel's 64 bit processors specifically [19:02] ExAstris: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion [19:03] ExAstris: Try ubuntuzilla [19:03] qs: see here: http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/29959 [19:03] thank you, pepperjack. [19:03] and aaron [19:03] qs: that should do it [19:03] ExAstris: np. honestly though i normally just download firefox from the mozilla website to my home directory and leave the system version at whatever [19:03] Hi! I'm having some trouble with jdownloader. I can't open it from the console, it only opens from desktop rightclicking and selecting "open with java", any ideas? [19:03] encino: What you need to do is to define a subnet for each site. Connect a VPN tunnel between each of the sites. Set up routing so that your server knows which site you are attempting to access. Set up measures to prevent packets from routing in circles (routing cost tables for instance). That should just about cover it. Well unless you need security that is. In such case you'll need to set up [19:04] some form of encryption on the tunnels. That about covers it I guess. [19:04] hello again [19:04] :) [19:04] i wonder... and please, no relative answers here... if i want a simple gui *nix file server to a network filled with windows, mac and eventually ubuntu, what would be my best bet? i was thinking on getting an old mac machine and just tweak it up. i'm now trying super os (ubuntu) and tweaking it up just a little bit and using reconstructor... but what about other nix flavors? or maybe a box that's ready for this? i feel often almost as frustrate [19:04] mechtech: wouldn't i need a cisco router for that...? [19:04] lstarnes, i'm going by industry terms... Intel 64 is what they're calling their implementation of amd64, perhaps you're thinking of IA-64 that they used for Itanium? [19:05] Caue: personally i like a linux box with just X or maybe fluxbox running that i can vnc to [19:05] dewdude: I thought it was EM64T [19:05] qs: seems that GRE is a cisco technology...assumed you were using their equipment...still, creating the interface at both ends would be essential [19:05] my friend has ubuntu+vista dual boot, he wants to remove ubuntu, so it means he needs to restore his mbr first. is there a way to do it from linux? (cause he doesn't have vista setup cd) [19:05] I must say, that GUI samba tool is th best tool for user. I've spent so much time to learn Samba but in vain... NFS is easer than Samba, but that require strongly the server [19:05] maybe...but Intel's name for x68-64 is "Intel 64", leading to additional confusion [19:05] hi how can i use my ipod with ubutntu? [19:05] Caue: no monitor just ssh into it and run vncserver then use some vnc client to connect to it [19:05] pepperjack: yeah, vnc would be nice. but i still couldnt setup one except using a logged user. [19:06] archman, he needs to use bcdedit from Vista to restore the MBR [19:06] blueeagle thanx man [19:06] mechtech: it's cisco originally, but the same thing can be done with the linux kernel rather than with their routers [19:06] electricsheep anyone?? [19:06] although i'm ok on using ssh, it's not what i'd consider best. [19:06] encino: What you may want to think about is to have one site just connect to two others and have any site act as a relay if neccessary. That would remove four links from the equation. However it all depends on the geographical location of the sites. [19:07] dewdude, is it an app that is in vista by default? (he doesn't want to install any app) [19:07] if i need in secure form need to setup a server that link to 3 other servers ? is there a website that teach all about this linking network [19:07] anyone have a link to where i can get the latest kernel? [19:07] there's an app in Vista to do it, but it's confusing to use. [19:07] Besogon: what you mean? strongly the server? [19:07] lol, nvm [19:07] he can also stick the vista CD in and hit "repair my computer" [19:08] thiebaude: synaptic? [19:08] mechtech: thanks anyway :) [19:08] dewdude, he has no cd [19:08] i've got an integrated Intel GMA 950 graphics adapter. i've read that ut2004 is supposed to play fine on lower settings, but it dogs along so bad it's unplayable. are there any general ubuntu gaming performance tips out there anyone can point me at? [19:08] blueeagle : at the moment im a bit blurr dont know how or which is good my friend say this is good http://nielsvz.com/2009/02/running-openvpn-on-ubuntu-810-server/ [19:08] th0r, ok, thanks [19:09] how do i know which application is associated to a port??? [19:09] hold on, let me look up how to do it from command lie [19:09] line [19:09] qs: ok...I think the usage would still remain the same though [19:09] jimmy51_: intel 3d atm in latest ubuntu can be problematic i have heard [19:09] hi [19:09] qs: lemme research some more [19:09] hey guys. if i want the output of just wlan0 to show. how would i grep what iwconfig spits out? [19:09] qs: brb [19:09] KoolD: it depends on how you configure the apps. The standard app/port relationships are online....google should return a ton of lists [19:10] mechtech: ok, i seem to have now created a tunnel which loops back to myself... [19:10] doh [19:10] SuspectZero: iwconfig wlan0 [19:10] blueeagle : do you think openvpn is good to link up all my network [19:10] mechtech: so when i connect to the tunnel ip, it's as if i'd typed 127.0.0.1... [19:10] SuspectZero: no need to use grep [19:10] pptp [19:10] AaronMT, right but lets say i dont know that the user has wlan0 [19:11] archman, apparently the bcdedit app in vista doesn't restore an MBR, you either need the Vista CD to fix it or download and install EasyBCD [19:11] thanks, dewdude :) [19:11] encino: Keep in mind that the setup there only sets up a tunnel between two points. You will need three tunnels at each site to interlink all four sites if you want optimal performance. That translates to a lot of pitfalls both with subnetting and routing. === sol is now known as Guest67654 [19:11] anyway to figure out wht extensions they use for their wireless? [19:11] pepperjack: but have you tried macos? [19:11] i'm changing primssion of a folder and whats the comand for change it for all folders annd files in tha folder? [19:11] SuspectZero: Other Aaron [19:11] dewdude, aah, he doesn't want to install anything. any other ideas? [19:11] oops [19:11] SuspectZero: you do an iwconfig first, to check what interfaces the user has got [19:11] sorry [19:11] casey: chmod -R [19:11] casey: chmod -R [19:11] archman, no. those are the only ways to do it.

[19:11] Caue: sorry i no nothing about Macs [19:12] no/know [19:12] if he has a problem...he can get rid of ubuntu, but he'll have to go through grub to boot vista every time [19:12] pepperjack: you should, it's the best gui oriented *nix flavor, as expected [19:12] Keiffer She's mine no share [19:12] AaronT1251, thanks for the help .i got it [19:12] SuspectZero: np [19:12] Keiffer: my wife uses linux [19:12] qs: this looks good too: http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.tunnel.gre.html [19:12] dewdude, he also wants to get rid of GRUB, unfortunately [19:12] pepperjack: but it ain't opensource and therefore it gets very limited [19:12] johnny5_, who? [19:12] tnx for the help [19:12] :) [19:12] Ubuntu NBR on her eeePC, and Kubuntu on her Atom 330 desktop [19:13] i mean... [19:13] encino: Is this for a corporate network or is it to play games on lan? [19:13] Keiffer: she's prolly pretty old by now :) [19:13] jimmy51_: My fiance :P and apparently his wife [19:13] it is kinda open [19:13] Hello everyone! [19:13] well, he needs to get a vista dvd or install easybcd. outside of that, i got nothing and i doubt anyone else here knows either. it's not like the old days of going fdisk /mbr, vista changed everything. [19:13] hi guys im very new to ubuntu nd im havn a prob [19:13] mechtech: yeah, tried that as well but again no luck [19:13] anyway, gota go, thanks for answering pepperjack [19:13] cyaround [19:13] qs: could be the firewall is the problem [19:14] dewdude: thanks, man :) [19:14] rumy: whats up? [19:14] unless he uses BCDEdit, he *needs* a Vista CD. there is no way around it [19:14] qs: btw...what kind of router are you using? [19:14] he could set grub up to just boot vista with no menu, it'd look like it was gone. that's only if he's really deadset against installing one simple utility [19:14] Super grub disk [19:14] i cant get in2 synapic package manager [19:14] linux is awesome for the wife... i haven't had to repair anything due to downloading cutsey mouse pointers or facebook message bombs since i installed it [19:14] oh man still very blurr [19:15] rumy: are you running as the original user or is this a new user account you created? [19:15] mechtech: yeah, i'm starting to wonder whether it's the firewall [19:15] rumy: yeah go to: menu, system, administration, synaptic [19:15] is there any website that teach us how to setup will be much simple for me to follow all the steps [19:15] dewdude: super grub disk [19:15] how do I switch between windows in x-chat? I have two rooms up [19:15] mechtech: i just did something and i couldn't connect to the remote server, suggests to me that *maybe* the firewall's dropping those packets [19:15] will super grub disc restore a vista mbr? i've never used it. [19:15] qs: that would make sense, after all, it's kinda what they're for...you know? [19:15] Rassa: you should see tabs along bottom of screen. [19:15] dewdude: yes [19:16] its says i hav 2 manually 'dpkg--confiuration-a' to correct the problem [19:16] oh I'm blind..

[19:16] there is a vista rescue iso online that I think will restore the mbr [19:16] mechtech: yeah, true... probably best for me to have a word with my friend who got it to work and ask what he did [19:16] rumy: run that command in a terminal as root [19:16] thor: i googled the port(5110) it says prorat(a MS trojan) uses it.... and there are no standard application associated to the port... aren't there any commands to figure out the applications using it [19:16] rumy: open a terminal and type sudo dpkg --configure -a [19:16] I'm on Linux, first time in 8 years [19:16] mechtech: thanks for your advice anyway! :) [19:16] all i know about the vista MBR is unless yo've got the right tools, you can't fix it. [19:16] but y wont it open properly? [19:16] a lot has changed since those early redhat days [19:17] dewdude: but then you need that BCD to restore linux and Vista... that's how I did it. I have vista xp and ubuntu on my laptop [19:17] rumy: there is a problem but it should be easy to sort out [19:17] hw du i sort it out? [19:17] i just got a copy of ubuntu 9.04 in the mail, and i must say im really impressed [19:17] qs: np=) [19:17] KoolD: none that I know of. you might google that trojan and see if there is anything you can learn about it...but on a linux box I doubt that a trojan is watching the port [19:17] I'm compliling custom kernel option under ubuntu.

If you want to restore the boot record that came with vista you will need to either have a backup of it or have Vista restore it. I could have provided you with a backup if it hadn't been that Microsoft believes that it is proprietary software and therefore disallows distribution of it. [19:18] th0r: got it netstat -lp gives the pid/name. thanks anyways [19:18] nd den wat du i du? [19:19] rumy: what does it say [19:19] ok nevermind its called somthing else?!

[19:31] How can I obtain the libopenal1 library for ubuntu 8.04? it doesn't seem to be in the repos. and my googling makes me think it is only in Intrepid.. I want to stay on a LTS, however. [19:31] can any1 help me finding anyremote-j2me-client link [19:31] @ Bob_Dole , not in multiverse repo? [19:31] hello bots [19:31] @ satya2881988 ,,,google dint help? [19:31] can any1 help me finding anyremote-j2me-client link [19:32] try the synaptic [19:32] @ satya2881988 ,,, have patience [19:32] sourceforge is very slow [19:32] so what? [19:32] Guess dewdude left. === sekrit is now known as charitwo [19:32] deany the problem was that my browser cached an incorrect version of the page [19:32] kickAss, sudo apt-get install libopenal1 did nothing..and everything on google says "intrepid" which does me no good on hardy. [19:33] Can I disable the compiz in ubuntu 6.06? [19:33] General question, how often should I 'sudo apt-get update'? [19:33] panfist, umm [19:33] panfist, always the smallest things.... [19:33] JoeZiehmer: you should really try something newer ... Dapper is EOL on the desktop [19:34] !dapper [19:34] Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) was the fourth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on July 14th 2009, Server support will end in June 2011. See !upgrade for upgrade instructions [19:34] @ Bob_Dole , make sure you have multiverse included in your repo, then update your package listing using sudo apt-get update,,,then if apt-cache search returns anything, its fine...else let us know we'll look for it [19:34] got it [19:34] 8.04 here - I have a cell phone sigmatel usb connectivity. I need an application -GUI- to connect/communicate. Please suggest one!! [19:34] @ satya2881988 , done? [19:34] Stef can I disable compiz in Ubuntu 6.06 or through a terminal? [19:35] @ JoeZiehmer , u can disable thru compiz config, I guess? [19:35] JoeZiehmer: compiz is not in 6.06... too old. I wasn't suspecting you were running a 3 year old distro [19:35] Running a computer from 2001 [19:35] is the free node [19:36] @ jonesy_ what? [19:36] lol @steph is it much to old lol [19:36] the server freenode [19:36] yes,,,terribly old [19:36] okey, so what? [19:36] Heard that Ubuntu 8.04 can be run on it. [19:36] Hey there, I'm using the Dropline Neu! custom theme, and I really like it - the only thing is, the "X" icon that closes tabs are too big! I'd like to edit it but can't find the files [19:36] how can i costum build my ubnutes kernel [19:36] JoeZiehmer: doesn't matter.... ubuntu is not getting /so/ much fatter with each release. Try 8.04 [19:36] Bob_Dole: in hardy it was called ibopenal0a http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/libopenal0a [19:37] Tried last night it broke my system. [19:37] !kernel | jonesy_ [19:37] jonesy_: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [19:37] @ jonesy_ , get the souirce code for kernel ,,compile it and u r done [19:37] Had to reinstall all the way up to, today. [19:37] !hardy | JoeZiehmer [19:37] JoeZiehmer: Ubuntu 8.04-LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 - See !lts for more details. [19:37] not yet got the file at anyremote.sourceforge.net that site was quick but sourceforge.net/projects/anyremote was very slow , why is it so? [19:37] Is setting up a cluster worth the trouble? Is there going to be a major difference in speed? [19:37] wenas [19:37] /msg ubottu stages [19:37] !cluster [19:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about cluster [19:37] Yes, but then it takes so long to boot and does not really load it just hangs for a long time. === diego is now known as Guest34769 [19:37] cheers [19:38] zherkehzi: minus: increased headach plus: bragging rights [19:38] lot of noise in here hard to understand it all ah well [19:38] hmm. I just might then. I'l hook up two computer via fiber optic cabels. === Iknownothing is now known as Guest64983 [19:38] whos Edgy? [19:38] that would be awesome [19:39] im on 9.04 ? [19:39] JoeZiehmer: however... your options are 8.04, 8.10 or 9.04 ... dapper has no longer support, the browser is ages old and chances are, that a lot of bugs are fixed in newer releases [19:39] Can I disable compiz in a nano command? [19:39] nano [19:40] kickAss, multiverse is enabled. It can't find libopenal1 [19:40] nano is a texteditor:) [19:40] JoeZiehmer, no, in a terminal type metacity --replace & [19:40] Bob_Dole: in hardy it was called libopenal0a http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/libopenal0a [19:40] kutta [19:41] JoeZiehmer: There is no compiz in 6.06... you don't need to disable it [19:41] But when it boots, it boot slowly stef. [19:41] kamina [19:41] It doesn't even run up to a total par. [19:41] matherchod [19:42] legend2440, well, can I symlink or some such to make it report under the name libopenal1 then? Tremfusion won't use libopenal0a :/ [19:42] 8.04 here - I have a cell phone sigmatel usb connectivity. I need an application -GUI- to connect/communicate. Please suggest one!! [19:42] What do you think stef it hangs up when it upgrades and nothing. [19:43] install ubuntu on hp touchsmart tx2-1012nr needhelp getting sound to work [19:43] Just DOA as soon as it boots up, runs super slowly, and does not respond. [19:43] Even with dri disabled it still hangs up. [19:43] anyone here use video conferencing software such as openmcu? [19:43] Tried vesa command in place of ati and still does not respond unless I should do sudo apt-get install vesa? [19:44] Bob_Dole: are you trying to install tremfusion_0.99r3_i386.deb? [19:44] JoeZiehmer: try http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/jaunty/release/ubuntu-9.04-desktop-powerpc.iso ... no use in debugging dapper anymore [19:44] legend, yeah [19:44] thats it I never installed the f*cking vesa driver then modify the apperances. [19:44] legend2440, yeah* [19:45] 8.04 here - I have a cell phone sigmatel usb connectivity. I need an application -GUI- to connect/communicate. Please suggest one!! [19:45] <------ Sits in corner like Mason from Dead Like Me [19:45] Bob_Dole: and you get error because of libopenal1? [19:45] hiya [19:45] Whoops thanks for catching my accident there Stef. [19:46] can someone help with sound problem [19:46] legend2440, yeah. Dependency unsatisfiable [19:46] ksbalaji, wammu [19:46] what does the server edition of ubuntu have that the desktop version does not? [19:46] what's the issue, ke6jqt? [19:46] does it have some kind of different kernel impmentations/ie, does it contain something that is difficult to addon to the desktop version if you install that version instead? [19:46] deany thanks! [19:47] spO: a server kernel and no desktop bloat [19:47] no sound i have hp touchsmart tx12-1012nr notbook [19:47] * Bob_Dole is using a 9.04 system, but configuring an older system that works much better with 8.04 than 9.04 [19:47] unbuntu 9,04 install [19:48] ke6: http://affy.blogspot.com/2008/02/ubuntu-sound-not-working-on-hp.html [19:48] google is your friend. [19:49] ste, what does the server kernel have that is different from a desktop kernel? [19:49] hey, i want to copy all JPG files in a folder (and its subfolders) to another folder, but some pictures have the same name, so i'd like a different name to be used so it doesnt overwrite anything. [basically gather all pictures, regardless if name is the same] [19:50] Bob_Dole: have you tried Tremfusion-0.99r3-linux32.tar.bz2? not sure but that may work [19:50] Cube, something like gthumb [19:50] deany: well, im looking for a script (perhaps even a single line command) [19:51] I actually have a question regarding 9.04 and the linux-virtual meta package [19:51] Are there any good book readers? Preferably stylish with animation of the pages and "paper-like" textures for the pages, not just notepad :) [19:51] seems that upon installing that and booting to the -server kernel that gets installed, i no longer have networking [19:51] of any sort [19:51] hi. i have an ubuntu vps and domain name, and i'd like to set up a mail server so that my email address is fsufitch@domain.com. how can i do that? [19:51] the devices don't even show up anymore. [19:51] spO: it is compiled with different options... you don't want a responsive desktop on a server, but a reliable workhorse for doznes of users accessing different services at the same time. in short: it's optimized for server workload, not for desktop/single user usage [19:51] spO: the compile time configuration is different [19:51] deany: but k ill have a look at gthumb [19:52] !unmount volume [19:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about unmount volume [19:52] fsufitch, check out postfix, and good luck, i'd just use google apps [19:52] ugliefrog: try !umount :) [19:52] Hi, I have a problem with my ATI driver. Could someone please help me? [19:53] frostburn: i want the email addr to forward to my gmail address anyway, so google apps is better for that? [19:53] fsufitch, i do the same thing [19:53] HereticPilgrim: Don't ask for help, just explain your problem and we'll see if anyone knows the answer. [19:53] Are there any good book readers? Preferably stylish with animation of the pages and "paper-like" textures for the pages, not just notepad :) [19:53] Bob_Dole: someone may know in channel #tremfusion [19:54] frostburn: i think im going to go with postfix, google apps costs money ;) [19:54] !umount [19:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about umount [19:54] I think my question was lost in the mix [19:54] fsufitch, you can get the free standard edition, unless you have a company [19:55] I installed the linux-virtual metapackage and upon reboot, i lost all networking [19:55] frostburn: they say a free trial for 30 days, and after that $50/user/year [19:55] I can't get the fglrx-driver to work. As soon as I install it and reboot, after the loading bar the screen goes black and has some random dots at the top. [19:55] frostburn: wait, nvm im silly [19:55] does anyone has electronics projects [19:55] i noticed this wasn't isolated to the virtual package [19:55] it had to do with the -server kernel [19:55] anyone else notice this or know whether this is a reported bug? [19:56] i've done searching for a few days but have been unable to find an answer [19:56] HereticPilgrim: what fglrx driver did you install and what card do you have? [19:57] Stef think I might have to stick with Ubuntu 6.06 its the last officially supported brand of PPC by Ubuntu. [19:57] hello guys, quick question, how can I setup my desktop to remember my sessions so that after you restart everything comes back up....I think this used to be possible with 8.04 [19:57] How do I get permission to edit rc.local on ubuntu [19:57] ctmjr: I have an ATI Radeon HD 2600 Mobile an I used the one from the restricted drivers manager (just clicked activate and rebooted) [19:57] JoeZiehmer: That's right [19:58] sangandongo: the server kernel might support a different set of network hardware. what does tell you ? [19:58] stefg: it does not [19:58] er [19:58] Yes, yes so 8.04 will brick the system and make me wait hours to get rid of the mess left by the compiz. [19:58] i'm booted into the -generic right now [19:58] so i can network. [19:58] johnny5_: what are you using for editing it? [19:58] Thanks sang. [19:59] i assumed the same thing, honestly. [19:59] tried to compile a custom kernel [19:59] but that failed too [19:59] lstarnes: just a text editor [19:59] HereticPilgrim: go into the rescue mode console and type sudo aticonfig --initial and see what happens if everything looks good reboot [19:59] JoeZiehmer: Official support has ended.... you'll have to work with community supported versions [19:59] johnny5_: which one? [19:59] lstarnes: gedit [19:59] !eol | JoeZiehmer [19:59] JoeZiehmer: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [20:00] johnny5_: press alt+f2 then enter this: gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local [20:00] ctmjr: how do i get into the rescue mode? I'm booting from a live USB stick [20:00] Stef upgrading it is not that easy the compiz has to be edited directly and I'd have to find it through terminal and change to vesa. [20:00] has anyone encounter strangeist thing with your linux box like the whole os frozed as screen goes black while KB caplock and scroll lock blinks? at end unresponsive? [20:00] orh [20:01] Can I change the compiz when it is starting? [20:01] apoleo12: that's a kernel panic [20:01] Meaning when the install is starting up? [20:01] JoeZiehmer: get 9.04 and use 'safe graphics mode' for starters [20:01] apoleo12: The BSOD of linux [20:01] anyone know how to change ttl value for my connection? [20:01] lstarnes: Didn't work [20:01] what would be the best way to connect two computers on one router, both running ubuntu (one running 9, the other running 8).. i'm doing this so i can move files over from 8 to 9 [20:01] How do I run safe graphics mode? [20:01] HereticPilgrim: boot into the broken system at the grub load screen choose rescue mode [20:01] i googled..and i fail! [20:02] apoleo12: you should report it as a kernel bug if you can get log messages etc... or you can reliabily reproduce it [20:02] ctmjr [20:02] !bugs | apoleo12 [20:02] apoleo12: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » If that fails, you can report bugs manually at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [20:02] abbazabba: usually, a switch [20:02] abbazabba: you could use a networked file system like nfs, or simply copy the files using something like scp [20:02] abbazabba: if there's no windows/samba involved i'd use nfs [20:02] ctmjr: thanks I'll try this. What if it doesn't work? [20:02] router goes to switch, computers go to switch. [20:02] !nfs | abbazabba [20:02] abbazabba: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [20:02] rjune_wrk: so there is no way i can connect the two even though they are on the same routher [20:02] I'm getting the popup "you do not have permissions nessary to edit this file [20:02] stef and mbeiririri thank you [20:02] Really? theres BSOD exists? I always thought linux is stable? [20:03] apoleo12: i've had it blue out on me.. it's been rare but it happens [20:03] apoleo12: stable and 100% completely free of bugs are two different things :) [20:03] apoleo12: there is no "bug free" software [20:03] johnny5_: sudo or gksudo for gui app for instance gksudo gedit [20:03] sure there is [20:03] windows is bug free [20:03] Ok, so Ill report it... but Im still learning at everything all at once ;) [20:04] HereticPilgrim: if it does not work try this sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg it will set it too default then reboot [20:04] apoleo12: and do not forget that busted hardwar can couse kernel panics [20:04] erUSUL: yeah Ill keep in mind.. but long live linux!!! [20:04] apoleo12: especially when it comes to "proprietary" video drivers like nVidia or ATI [20:04] pepperjack: what? [20:04] Stef how do I log into safe graphics mode? [20:04] hello [20:05] stefg: is nfs a command based? [20:05] ctmjr: thanks. be right back [20:05] mbeierl: can you tell me more about scp? [20:05] problem enabling desktop effects in ubuntu 9.04 [20:05] abbazabba: http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/BecomingRoot [20:05] errr [20:05] wrong paste, sry [20:05] JoeZiehmer: it's a boot option ... press F6 (or was it F4) in the boot menu (where you are asked for the language setting) [20:05] haha [20:05] http://www.hypexr.org/linux_scp_help.php [20:05] !scp | abbazabba [20:05] abbazabba: SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ [20:05] erUSUL: I doubt my hardware is busted as it runs smoothly so far.... so where can I find the log msg? system log? [20:06] johnny5_: in order to edit a config file like that that is not under your home directory you need to launch gedit with root permissions so from a terminal type gksudo gedit [20:06] any recommendations for a mpd client? i am using ncmpc, but i am a bit unhappy with it [20:06] abbazabba: GNOME will mount a remote system via scp. [20:06] abbazabba: so you will need to install the openssh-server using apt-get [20:06] mbeierl: Ok I get you and thats true [20:06] apoleo12: /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog are a good start [20:06] ok thanks [20:06] Then turn off compiz from the safe boot option from there? [20:07] now if only I could find out information about gvfs and fuse options ?!?!? :) [20:07] go go rasputin [20:07] mbeierl: so i just have to install openssh on both [20:07] i just got into 8.10 with all the hal thing instead of xorg.conf, i lost some nice mice/keb config in the evol and i would like to know if it is ok if i put my xorg conf back or is it going to mess up the whole system (i just don't want to jump into the .fdi files right know) ? [20:07] start them up then i'm good to go? [20:07] rjune_wrk: and after openssh is running, i could just pretty much nautilus my stuff over? [20:07] now [20:07] any recommendations for a mpd client? i am using ncmpc, but i am a bit unhappy with it <- more precise: i am looking for a terminal based client [20:07] stefg: i'm a bit rusty, how do i go about adding support for those network drivers in the -server kernel? i will have to compile a custom? [20:07] abbazabba: it requires editing some conf files (/etc/exports and /etc/fstab on the target machine). But that's not too hard to do with the How To at hand and it'S really *much* faster and easier than samba once you got the hanf of it [20:07] abbazabba: technically you only need the server on one. The "client" would make the connection and then either send or receive all the data from the other [20:08] abbazabba: alternatively, you could always take the hard disk out of the 8.x machine, put it into the 9.04 machine, mount it locally and copy the files :) [20:08] !repeat | xerox1 [20:08] xerox1: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [20:09] Hello! [20:09] mbeierl: haha f that, i spent the last three hours in a machine, i don't want to disect one and add to this [20:09] Thanks for the help stef. [20:09] intel 865G drivers [20:09] abbazabba: you have to "mount" the system, but yeah. [20:09] stefg: which are you talking about nfs or scp [20:09] abbazabba: I hear you [20:09] So its a safe graphics boot and then disabling from there compiz. [20:09] abbazabba: stefg would be referring to nfs [20:10] hi,using 8.10 yesterday i've installed ubuntu-tweak , now the compiz menu is disabled but it's working and i couldn't stop... How can i stop compiz window specialications ? [20:10] abbazabba: nfs ... scp is ssh -based... [20:10] erUSUL, i like to wait, but i addded an important fact to it: i need a console app and not a gui based... [20:10] mbeierl: (i should stop having so many convo's at once) so technically all i have to do is install openssh-server on the one.. then i could take it all via nautilus? [20:10] Ok I have two logs open... and the ubuntu-bug is he command? if so how? In the terminal? [20:10] abbazabba: if it is a "one time" copy and you do not want a permanent set up you can use netcat a tar to make the copy [20:10] can anyone help me [20:10] xerox1: ok; fair enough [20:10] * wjblack had the -13 kernel a while back and ended up with some grody ext3 corruption. Do we have a canned answer on how to deal with that yet? I've upgraded to 2.6.30 and run e2fsck when booted from a USB stick, but an md5 of a given 4G file keeps coming out differently... [20:10] abbazabba: no. ssh is a secure connection server [20:11] abbazabba: scp is a command line utility that copies files over ssh [20:11] sangandongo: first find out what hardware you have, then you'll see what you have to do to get it working (usually soemone has paved the way already) [20:11] that is why nfs is probably easier [20:11] i found it. [20:11] erUSUL: it is gonna be a one time copy, what's this netcat you are talking about? [20:12] stefg: one moment. [20:12] wjblack: so you got a corruption in only a file ? that's too subtle ... you better take that to ubuntu kernel devs or ext3 developers... [20:12] abbazabba: if you want to use nautilus that is. if you want to simply copy a directory and all its subdirs, scp might be quicker [20:12] mbeierl: ohh i'd rather do it through the gui if possible, so you are saying nfs is my way [20:12] mbeierl: it'd be through multiple directories [20:12] erUSUL: I've been getting weirdness everywhere--the 4G file example is just a nicely repeatable problem. [20:13] Thanks stef [20:13] abbazabba: http://www.screenage.de/blog/2007/12/30/using-netcat-and-tar-for-network-file-transfer/ [20:13] abbazabba: it would allow you to use nautilus much more easily, yes. To do the same with SSH would require you to set up SSH FS (a file system driver over SSH) [20:13] stefg: Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5752M Gig Eth and Atheros Comm AR5121 Wireless 802.11abg [20:13] I've seen complaints about the -13 kernel and was wondering if there's a known-to-not-corrupt one that's preferred. [20:13] any of you use a remote control with ubuntu? [20:14] Ok I have two logs open... and the ubuntu-bug is he command? if so how? In the terminal? [20:14] is there a decent way to sync an ipod touch with ubuntu [20:14] ctmjr: I can't get into rescue mode. it says "there is no dedicated rescure mode on this disc" [20:14] hi, how can i remove the graphic card drivers... becouse compiz enable but i can't disable it from menu... [20:14] buh [20:15] why do you want them removed safruhani [20:15] safru: killall compiz :) [20:15] sangandongo: that's wireless network... the -server kernel surely does not deal with these in depth. Any particular reason you need the -server kernel ? [20:16] stefg: because it gets installed by default when installing the linux-virtual metapackage [20:16] compiz is enable, but it says, i can't enable it sangandongo jonesy_, i wan't to stop it and did what u sayi but nothing changes [20:16] why does compiz remove my title bars and won't rotate as a cube? [20:16] sangandongo: what are you doing? set up a virtual machine? [20:16] no === radek is now known as Guest74714 [20:16] stefg: yes. [20:17] quit [20:17] ctmjr: I can't get into rescue mode. it says "there is no dedicated rescure mode on this disc" [20:17] sangandongo: jonesy_ when u change the windows via alt+tab, it gets a screenshots of windows, this is enable, and i can't stop it... [20:17] I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 and I NEED gcc 4.4 but it currently only seems to have 4.3. What is the easiest way to get 4.4 on this? [20:17] jonesy_: sangandongo i've installed ubuntu-tweak yesterday on ubuntu 8.10 [20:18] stefg: KVM/QEMU load fine, I get all the hardware support, but was getting issues after the installation point. I am now attempting other paths to get the vm to work successfully. [20:18] Karmic appears to have 4.4 but I don't intend to update to it [20:18] ok i found it :) [20:18] sangandongo: the virtual guest machine does only see some virtualized interfaces ... how come that you see physical hardware fom inside the virtual machine ?

[20:19] * stefg too [20:19] stefg: I think you've pointed me in a better direction anyhow [20:19] stefg: i'll see if i can figure out another way to deal with this. [20:19] Interface: ppp0 Bandwidth: +44k/s -1k/s [20:20] sangandongo: jonesy_ on ubuntu-tweak windows menu, at the bottom of the page enable Metacity's compositing feature is default ... problem is solved, thanks your patience [20:20] would download the gcc-4.4 package from karmic or debian function properly on my intrepid install? [20:20] what are packages I need to use vnc? i did apt-get install tightvnc then when I do startx, it says exec: 5: /usr/bin/X11/X: not found [20:21] peperjack: How can I give myself permission to edit any file that way? I'm really getting tired of the permissions heh I just started doing "extra" stuff on my ubuntu and it's really anoying not being able to "GUI" what you want to do. [20:21] samtdon't mix up client and server [20:21] saml: don't mix up client and server [20:22] stefg, i have vncserver running, i'm trying to vnc into it using widows [20:22] from windows machine [20:22] but i see blank screen. that's why i tried startx on the server [20:22] I thought just logging in as root would work but it won't even let me login as root. I've added myself to all the groups I found. [20:22] saml: but you have no X /runnig headless on the machine with the vnc-server ? [20:23] thanks everyone. [20:23] bye. [20:23] hello. i am running ubuntu with persistent changes. should i do an update ? [20:23] saml, if you're using vncserver, your display will be :1, not :0 [20:23] stefg, yah. i just did apt-get install tightvnc i'm using server version of ubuntu [20:24] johnny_: rather than logging in a root, I'd recommend `sudo su` for root work in terminal and `gksudo ` for gui work as root [20:24] I have a problem with my live usb boot. I can't get into rescue mode to save my fglrx [20:24] saml: i think taht needs a bit of configuration... http://stevenharman.net/blog/archive/2008/12/13/vnc-to-a-headless-ubuntu-box.aspx might help [20:24] fglrx lol [20:24] stefg, thank you [20:24] jonesy: what? [20:25] i have problems with fglrx [20:25] saml: VNC into ubuntu from windows, I use ultraVNC on my windows machine the remote desktop connection didn't work for me. then you just type in "hostname:0" [20:25] What difference would 4-4-4-12 PC6400 RAM make over 5-5-5-15 PC6400? [20:26] can anyone tell me how to get into rescue mode from a live USB boot? thank you [20:26] is there a command to kill vncserver or do I use kill ? [20:26] vncserver -kill lol [20:27] how do I know which display my vncserver is running? [20:27] man vncserver doesn't seem to have a way [20:27] johnny, can the current stable release of Samba do routing? [20:27] HereticPilgrim: if you have a live session then I would just open a terminal window, sudo su - (to become root), use fdisk -l (to list the partitions on your hard disks) and then manually create mount points (/mnt/targ) and mount up your filesystems by hand. [20:27] saml: usually it's 192.168.0.1:0 ... or wahtever your server IP is [20:28] Once you have a live session then you don't really need a separate "rescue mode" [20:28] anyone for gcc 4.4 on ubuntu? [20:28] if your just using the built in vncserver System-> Preferences -> Remote desktop and in there there is a "link" that shows it. [20:28] jimd: sorry I forgot to mention: I can't boot anymore because my fglrx driver is screwed up [20:29] also vncserver uses default port 5900 if you have a firewall... [20:29] does the ssh sync still work with non 3.0 ipod touches [20:30] HereticPilgrim: I mean if you can boot from the CD or a USB then you have a live session from which you can debug any other problems you're having. [20:30] If you mean that you're USB installation is broken, try booting with the "2" argument (runlevel 2 ... should be text only) [20:31] Failing that try passing the following options through your bootloader: init=/bin/sh === d3v1l is now known as vect0r [20:31] pepperjack: I'm still getting the permissions error even after typing that in terminal [20:32] How good is Quagga at routing for small networks (10 devices)? [20:32] HereticPilgrim, you need to mount you / partition then edit you xorg.conf .. change the fglrx driver to vesa .. this will enable you to boot and uninstall fglrx. or you could boot in recovery and do it from a shell [20:33] HereticPilgrim, i'm assuming xserver-xorg-video-radeon is the driver you'll be wanting to get things back in working order [20:33] bastidrazor: isn't that the one that's already on the 9.04? [20:34] HereticPilgrim, i believe so yes.. the restricted driver. [20:34] otacon122: there is a channel #quagga if no one knows here [20:35] bastidrazor: and this driver will work properly?

When I removed the heatsink I realised that the processor was stuck to the bottom with that thermal compound stuff holding it on, and some of the pins had bent. I straightened out the pins and cleaned the thermal compound off but now my pc starts for about half a second [21:30] Hi there..

But that aside the app Alien can be used to convert them [21:37] hello? [21:37] genii: i dont care about converting or installing, i just want the file out of the rpm [21:37] ali1234: If you convert it to .deb then you can use ar -x debname.deb [21:38] Oh cool. Can one of you guys help me out? [21:38] tripps type alt F4 [21:38] sixdraw, yeah don't need help doing that - ps axuw | grep up shows no running processes. however still getting xauthorization file errors. is there a lockfile I need to delete?

[21:42] well if you have compiz enabled and desktop cube etc. it can really slow down a lower spe system [21:42] DE: so i think the slowing is caused by something else [21:42] what is the next name for 9.10? [21:43] hey folks, are there any recommended video cards for doing multiple monitors with hardware acceleration? Right now I'm just looking at a dual monitor situation w/ the desktop extended across both monitors. Monitors run at 1440x900 [21:43] and when was the last LTS?

Still getting "cannot copy user's xauthorization file" [21:46] ali1234: rpm2cpio is a component of package named rpm. Does result of apt-cache policy rpm show latest version installed which is available?

[21:48] sixdraw the termal compound helps keep your proc cool, it will burn without it [21:48] sudo apt-get update all? or something? [21:48] tripps: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade ? [21:48] nightrid3r but it will boot up for a while before it crashes? [21:48] nightrid3r, or will it fail to boot at all [21:49] sixdraw burn, like in totaly destroyed [21:50] tripps, what are you trying to do? [21:50] erUSUL, it won't try to upgrade the distribution, right? i just want the updated files for heron [21:50] coz_, just trying to update my damn ubuntu box ;) [21:50] sudo apt-get update i believe [21:50] it goes through and checks for updates [21:50] tripps, if you do sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade that should do it [21:50] tripps: right; it will only get the security updates [21:50] tripps, the dist-upgrade will not install a new version [21:50] does any one know is i should use the native ubuntu rt2600 driver for a belkin rt2600 pci or should i use nDiswrapper and the driver on te disk??

[21:52] erUSUL, do I have to log out of X, or just open another terminal? [21:52] tripps, upgrade is used to install the newest versions of all packages currently installed on the system [21:52] tripps, dist-upgrade, in addition to performing the function of upgrade, also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions of packages" [21:52] coz_, gotcha [21:52] BigMao: also editing the file directly is not the best option... jus « sudo adduser $USER groupname » [21:52] BigMao: the former [21:52] erUSUL, thanks :) I didn't know I could do that [21:52] coz_, curious then - what is the command line to actually do a distro upgrade? [21:52] I have a usb ethernet adapter and it works perfectly out of the box on a ubuntu but not on an older redhat. I'd like to know which driver is used for it on ubuntu, How can I know that ?

[22:55] archman: probably will need sudo.. then use 'm' to get a list of commands inside fdisk [22:56] abbazabba: so you didn't get the alpha 64bit one? [22:56] * jrib curses at tab completion [22:56] dimension128, ok, wait a sec [22:56] adamonline45: f *has* to be the last option just before the archivename [22:56] hey adamonline45 the -f specify the file [22:56] archman: you use p to print the partition table. d to delete a partition [22:56] adamonline45: so should have been --> tar -zcvrf zipname dirname [22:57] I got a long question [22:57] archman: then w to write the changes. [22:57] erUSUI: i typed passwd myusername, and it says unknown user [22:57] jrib: stupid me i thought it was alpha.. i'm dl'n now [22:57] I'm installing Ubuntu on a desktop with two 40GB harddrives. On /dev/sda I have a 12MB / partition and a 28GB /home partition. How should I partition the second harddrive? Also /home? [22:57] Sa[i]nT irc.gnome.org #glade3 [22:57] Sa[i]nT: so if you decide to go with qt, just grab some qt4 packages out of the repos, also make sure to grab qt4-designer (the gui layout tool), and code away. you can also easily find tutorials for working with qt, and the full api documentation is also available on the web. [22:57] yaris123456789: you have to put the actual username you use to log in to your ubuntu system [22:57] dimension128, "Unable to open /dev/hda" [22:57] erUSUI: yes i did [22:57] <^Phantom^> I downloaded Google Earth, or so I thought, but ended up with a useless .bin file. I wanted to install Google Earth, but can't do jack shit with the file I ended up with. What a worthless fucking waste of 25MB! [22:57] passwd myusernamehere [22:58] erUSUL, gabisar, thank you :) That probably explains the lack of size, too, since the -r wouldn't have taken effect... [22:58] yaris123456789: check doing « ls /home/ » [22:58] nanotube, I see some examples of QT. I like it. I am getting the required stuff. [22:58] !language | ^Phantom^ [22:58] ^Phantom^: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [22:58] dimension128, any ideas? [22:58] !medibuntu | ^Phantom^ [22:58] ^Phantom^: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [22:58] i am trying to run a server, and I am having problems launching it correct. I have the files stored in /usr/hlds with root permissions. I think that the root permissions might be the issue, however my question is, if I move them to my /home directory will I have a problem if I want someone else to login and launch the server, will there be an issue there? [22:58] Sa[i]nT: have fun. :) [22:58] ok [22:58] ^Phantom^: medibuntu has google earth in it [22:58] how can I identify all the buttons on my mouse for use in CompizConfig? [22:58] archman: hm.. well its possible as gabriel was saying, that something is using it. But maybe you dont have an sda at all. maybe it was moved to sdb or something like that. Is this a laptop or a desktop? is it a sata harddrive? [22:59] jrib: same thing bud [22:59] ^Phantom^: why not just run the .bin file? that's probably an installer. [22:59] <^Phantom^> With WHAT? [22:59] how can I select custom settings for compiz in appearance? I installed compizconfig-settings-manager, but the option doesn't appear. [22:59] <^Phantom^> It says there's no program for running it. [22:59] jrib: where are the repos? =] [22:59] loufoque: it should show up under system -> preferences somewhere [22:59] rz: Running a CS server here, myself... I have a group with people who can access the server, that may be your best option. I put it in its own /home/ directory [22:59] dimension128, those partitions are empty, how can something be used? it's a laptop, and gparted says that sda3 is Busy, and Path is /dev/sda3... [23:00] thanks man [23:00] I'll give that a shot [23:00] abbazabba: can you link me to the file you downloaded? [23:00] good luck [23:00] ^Phantom^: why don't you just apt-get googleearth-package [23:01] nanotube: CompizConfig does appear under system > preferences, but that's not my question, i want to be able to select "custom" in system > preferences > appearance > visual effects. [23:01] hi [23:01] jrib: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html [23:01] archman: Thats really what its looking like. Some program has sda3 'open/locked' and nothing else can modify it. It could simply be a nautilus file browser window open. or anything that is accessing sda3. [23:01] anyone know how to use a wpn111 usb wireless dongle with ubuntu? [23:02] archman: But there is something using it. somehwere. rebooting may be the quickest fix if you cant find anything. [23:02] i've tried ndiswrapper, but it dosen't seem to be working [23:02] loufoque, onceyou change things in ccsm .. custom will be selected automatically. [23:02] loufoque: hmm, don't know, then. i don't even run compiz. :) maybe someone else can point you true. [23:02] i need help with pro ftpd [23:02] dimension128: lsof? [23:02] jrib: you there? [23:02] bastidrazor: I have changed several things, and the custom option doesn't appear. [23:02] abbazabba: the reason I think it is better to troubleshoot this instead of just using the repos is that nspluginwrapper likes to crash a lot... Ok, close all instances of firefox, then run "firefox" from a terminal. Pastebin any terminal output. And also pastebin the contents of the about:plugins page [23:02] mechtech: yes [23:03] loufoque, as long as the changes are made then what does it matter if custom appears or not? [23:03] jrib: I ran a "whois" on DE...wanna see the results? === n is now known as Guest77747 [23:03] mechtech: he seems to be gone now [23:03] casey: its better to give the actual problem/question to the channel thent o just ask for 'help' [23:03] hmm, apparently tar -zcvrf is invalid, as I can't mix 'c' and 'r'. How do I compress an archive of a directory, recursively? Or, am I operating under a false assumption somewhere? [23:04] it does already [23:04] you dont need to specify tar to be recursive [23:04] I'm installing Ubuntu on a desktop with two 40GB harddrives. On /dev/sda I have a 12MB / partition and a 28GB /home partition. How should I partition the second harddrive? Also /home? [23:04] jrib: yeah...he quit right after using that racial slur earlier [23:04] archman: I am not familiar with that command, but it looks useful. [23:04] schumacher to replace massa :) [23:04] kigoug: Oh, that makes sense then... thanks :) [23:04] bastidrazor: so that I can revert to "none" then back to "custom" without losing my changes. [23:04] i want to know how the change the uears account on pro ftpd] [23:05] adamonline45: -r is not "recursive" [23:05] jrib, can you help with removing ext3 and swap partitions of old ubuntu installation but with live cd running? [23:05] loufoque, in ccsm save a .profile [23:05] archman: sure, just load up gparted [23:05] casey: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/setting-up-a-proftp-server.html [23:05] adamonline45 you can use just tar -zcvvf arquivo.tar.gz herethefolder === noname is now known as Guest93417 [23:05] so then I really am getting a 3:1 compression ratio! I'm hesitant to accept that as a valid archive >.< hehe [23:05] Monona: google for ubuntu LVM [23:05] bastidrazor: that would still be more tedious [23:05] jrib, it's running, when i rightclick the sda3, i can't unmount it, it's greyed out [23:05] gabisar: With 2 v's? [23:06] hi all...has anyone had problem with burning DVDs with ubuntu...i had tried Gnomebaker,brasero,k3b...and each of them returns unknown error...but it seems there is speed calibration problems...any suggestion??? [23:06] cyberbrain: try to use wodim [23:06] loufoque: install fusion-icon if you want to switch between metacity and compiz [23:06] archman: what about if you close that and run "gksudo gparted" from a terminal? [23:06] cyberbrain: its command line, works everytime for me [23:06] this will do recursively [23:06] Monona: just leave it as a data partition mount it in /media/$(chooseaname) and you are done. you can use it to store music videos or whatever [23:06] loufoque, okay then. [23:06] jrib: for some reason the whois output references your nick...could he have been spoofing your account? [23:07] Hi, how to do aliases with sendmail? I just need to forward 2-3 address [23:07] jrib: i just have a blinking cursor in terminal.. nothing else. and you mean about:plugins [23:07] nm [23:07] ok upgrade's been working on installing fglrx module for 20 minutes. when should I cancel?

[23:11] archman: no -t [23:11] dam. [23:12] Elep: do you actually want to grep, or just search for stuff in it while viewing it? if the latter, hit / [23:12] abbazabba: that's weird, are you sure?

What should I make the mount point for the secondary drive if I want to use it primarily to store data? [23:15] bucky, not anywhere that i can see on those menus [23:15] jrib: unless you have another idea [23:15] abbazabba: use imageshack.us or similar [23:15] type rm -rf / [23:15] jrib, bastidrazor, http://paste.ubuntu.com/236182/ [23:15] oldude67: sorry aplications>accesories>Disk use analizer (see what i meant) [23:16] is anyone on this channel actually younger than say, 14? i wouldn't expect anyone that young to be using #ubuntu [23:16] kigoug: I've seen some [23:16] erUSUL, wanted something that might show me the vbox space being used as well.

[23:23] <^Phantom^> I did one wrong character on the chmod thing. [23:23] archman: it's probably because you have a partition after it, that's my guess anyway [23:23] Has anyone had any luck installing and dual-booting Ubuntu to a RAID0 system with Windows 7 already installed? I have tried the FakeRAID howto and the alternate install disk and neither has been successful.

[23:24] jrib, sda5 is like in sda3, should i remove the sda5 first?? [23:24] ^Phantom^: run it from the terminal.. OR go use the medibuntu repositories for the 3rd time.. thats the better way [23:24] how can I find out how my mouse buttons are numbered? [23:25] bucky: ive installed it as a user befor. [23:25] he's gone anyway [23:25] Compiz says I have 9 buttons but I can't figure out how they are numbered [23:25] bucky: but hes basicially going to be on his own soon. [23:25] bucky: :) i feel a great loss... [23:25] jrib: quick question, i'm not at that point yet, but in a couple hours i will be.. maybe you cuold answer.. i'm about to install vista (i have a 500gb hd, 60 is being taken by ubuntu.. 100 is gonna be vista.) what i want to do with the rest of that is have it so files could be added and accessed by both operating systems.. is there a simple way to do that? [23:25] i just cannot apply the new keyboard locales [23:25] what is the median age around here.. 14? [23:25] archman: ah right, sda3 is an extended partition? And I assume sda5 and sda4 are logical partitions under it? [23:25] bucky: 36 here :P [23:26] * LasBuntu beats bucky with his cane [23:26] abbazabba: ubuntu can access ntfs filesystems very well. [23:26] bucky, yes, its not working, i guess i will have to go over and configure sshd first anyway [23:26] bucky: impossible to know, also offtopic [23:26] lol [23:26] abbazabba: sounds like a samba deal [23:26] user01: it will probably depend on if your ports are forwarded to the host from the dsl modem or whatever on the other end more than anything else [23:26] samba can set up a share :D [23:26] If i have 2 computers, and one has internet access and an open ethernet port, could i connect that computer to a router and connect the computer without internet to the router also to share the internet access? [23:26] * LasBuntu pulls the stick out of Myrtti's ass ;) [23:26] erUSUL: Now it's working! I guess it won't let me use all 40GB, but it's fine with 39.999GB.

[23:26] i have a usb audio interface for my 5.1 speakers (usb is called an m-audio transit) and it appears to be connected correctly, shows up fine in lsusb (it is not listed as DFU) and /proc/asound/cards but when i try to aplay a sound or use the gnome sound prefs to test it, nothing comes out. happy to supply info and try suggestions! thanks. [23:26] Mikahel: yes [23:26] jrib, sda3 is extended, sda5 is swap, sda4 is [23:26] !ics | Mikahel [23:26] bucky, well i probably have to generate keys too [23:26] Mikahel: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [23:26] Dr_Willis: so are you saying i should have windows clean up the partition? [23:26] Monona: stuff like that happens because of the 1000/1024 issue [23:26] nigtv: today is the first time i've heard of samba and saw it a couple times.. what is it? [23:27] often [23:27] abbazabba: if it's media type files where you don't need unix style permissions, just use ntfs. Ubuntu will be able to read and write to it [23:27] Monona: XD. So be it [23:27] <^Phantom^> sorry, i am just mad right now [23:27] gpm: Run alsamixer in a console and try unmuting any output sources that might be muted === poseidonpp is now known as poseidon [23:27] archman: do you understand what an extended partition is? [23:27] blind|melon|chit: nothing's muted, thanks though! [23:27] abbazabba: im not sure what you are wanting to do.. but Linux can access files on a NTFS drive easially enough. [23:27] abbazabba: geez, couldnt tell you actually, what it is, but it can make you be able to access both systems files in both OS's [23:27] jrib, no, do i need to? [23:27] archman: yes, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning#Extended [23:27] anyone knows how to sync your bookmarks in firefox3 between 2 different computers? [23:27] abbazabba: apt-cache show samba [23:28] hello. I need to unmount one partition to free some space from my drive to install Win(I need IE). So now, I need to unmount one partition to be able to do that with gparted. Can anyone tell me which one should(and can) delete? My partitihttp://pastebin.mozilla.org/665020on list is on [23:28] gpm: If you look through the output of dmesg, does it actually load a kernel module for the USB sound or just detect it [23:28] ^Phantom^: go read/follow the directions to add the medibuntu reposiutory. and you can then install google earth with 'sudo apt-get install google-earth' No need tomess wth that .bin at all. [23:28] !medibuntu | ^Phantom^ [23:28] ^Phantom^: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [23:28] archman: I guess you can think of it as a "folder" for the other partitions under it [23:28] but really, like others are saying, you could just use a partition that you give, say, windows the entire drive other than that 60gb, then just mount it in ubuntu and use it through there [23:28] Milos, save your bookmarks as an html then copy the html over [23:28] <^Phantom^> Also, "bash: run: command not found" [23:28] jrib: for the most part yeah it's just gonna be videos and mp3's.. maybe some texts and html's.. that's all linux is gonna use the partition for. [23:28] blind|melon|chit: usbcore: registered new interface driver snd-usb-audio [23:28] <^Phantom^> Um, I already have medibuntu... [23:28] bastid_razor: ? [23:28] ^Phantom^: then you can install google earth [23:28] can someone help me? i just installed xchat but i cant find the directory in my file browser [23:29] Milos, i'm sorry, wrong nick [23:29] is anyone here who have experience with Rent a Coder site? [23:29] kk [23:29] yeahuyen: did you display hidden folders? [23:29] yeahuyen: what directory? [23:29] Dr_Willis: just have 3 partitions, one for linux, one for vista (play games) and one for storage of mainly media files for both (i'll probably install games for vista on there when room runs out. [23:29] yeahuyen: what directory ? [23:29] ^Phantom^: then its in the package manager listing. Fire up synaptic and look for it. o [23:29] gpm: Hmm...paste output of cat /proc/asound/cards to me in a PM [23:29] if you are in thunar you can right click and say display hidden files [23:29] I can't open the chess ap that comes with 9.04 anymore (since I enabled the 3D view option) anyone know what the problem might be?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [23:29] mezquitale, save your bookmarks as an html then copy the bookmark.html over [23:29] it should be ~/.xchat i think [23:29] jrib, ok i've read it, and yes, it looks like sda5 is under sda3. do i remove it first? [23:29] or, it could be /etc/xchat [23:29] 1 [USB ]: USB-Audio - Transit USB [23:29] yeahuyen: if it didn't show up apt-get menu and run menu as user [23:29] yeahuyen: your home directory is /home/your_username, often denoted by "~" [23:30] bastidrazor, that's the easy solution but I want to be able to use bookmarks.html so i can synchroze using unison [23:30] ^Phantom^: ' sudo apt-get install googleearth' will install it IF you have medibuntu set up properly [23:30] nm i solved it, thank you though [23:30] archman: yes, you'd have to delete all of the logical partitions to delete the extended one I assume [23:30] jrib, thanks! [23:30] anyone knows how to use "bookmarks.html" with Firefox 3???? [23:30] <^Phantom^> Oh my god! [23:30] ^Phantom^: amazing eh? [23:30] yeahuyen: xchat is a gui app.. that means you should have gnome or something to run it [23:30] update manager seems to have frozen in the middle. Is there any solution other than killing it and hoping nothing gets too borked in the process? [23:30] mezquitale: use how? [23:30] hmm, maybe i can find a stopwatch program with a bash mode? [23:30] (sorry if that was a repeat, but I got disconnected) [23:30] <^Phantom^> I was told to instal googleearth-package [23:30] i just need a rubiks cube timer in bash lol [23:30] install the 'googleearth' package... :) [23:31] i have a scramble script, and now i am going to string it in with a timer, but i need milliseconds [23:31] <^Phantom^> damnit [23:31] ^Phantom^: when in doubt use the package manager.. dont trust peoples spelling/memory [23:31] google earth? i've wanted to use that.. medibuntu whats that? [23:31] and i cannot find a stopwatch that can do milliseconds in bash [23:31] Dr_Willis: Or apt-cache search =) [23:31] <^Phantom^> I feel (and probably look) so stupid right now D: [23:31] !medibuntu | abbazabba [23:31] abbazabba: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [23:31] ^Phantom^: Yep.. :) [23:31] and i also kind find a rubiks timer for linux bash [23:31] tonii, if youre not familiar with the issue then youre just as clueless as I am, firefox3 doesn't use "bookmarks.html" to save bookmarks, i want to be able to do that so I can synchronize "bookmarks.html" in my machines using unison [23:31] <^Phantom^> Sorry for being so rash. [23:31] or shell, i dont know what to call it [23:31] nigtv: try #bash [23:31] jrib: k ty [23:32] googleearth-package is in multiverse but it doens't matter... just sudo apt-get install googleearth-package [23:32] Dr_Willis, medibuntu is a distro in itself? Meaning I can't install medibuntu in ubuntu the way I can have kubuntu and ubuntu together? [23:32] mezquitale: Manage Bookmars -> Export Bookmarks -> will produce a file called bookmarks.html, that can be imported to other instances of ff. [23:32] Is there any reason I still need all these old kernal versions? when I boot into grub I have .28-11 .28-13 and .28-14 [23:32] mezquitale: your question was quite vague. [23:32] mezquitale: no; is repository with some packages in it [23:32] mezquitale: medibuntu is a repository for ubuntu. it's not a separate distribution. [23:33] !repo > mezquitale [23:33] mezquitale, please see my private message [23:33] I can't open the chess application that comes with 9.04 anymore (since I enabled the 3D view option) anyone know what the problem might be? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling [23:33] hey im installing google earth on my ubuntustudio distro, didnt know you could do that [23:33] hello, where is ubuntu shop in malaysia? [23:33] jrib: i want more a command line chat [23:33] but really i think any program with a bash mode would be fine [23:33] donnybrasco: I had the same problem... unfortunatly I have no idea how to fix it... lol [23:33] donnybrasco: does your vid card drivers do 3D ? [23:33] erUSUL, thank you [23:33] nigtv, irssi [23:33] bucky: yes [23:33] ....what about it? [23:34] donnybrasco: to be able to enable 3d chess you need to install a couple of python-packages... can not remeber which ones... opengl related [23:34] donnybrasco: ok.. make this easy for me.. which card - which driver [23:34] erUSUL: I installed them [23:34] blah i think i am googling the wrong thing [23:34] donnybrasco: ok [23:34] like i said someone suggested bc [23:34] tonii, that I know. What I want to do is to use "bookmarks.html" automatically. Meaning any changes should be saved to "bookmarks.html". I can import/export manually just find, I want to be able to do it automatically [23:35] but i really would think that i could just code one [23:35] blah [23:35] bucky: NVIDIA, restricted drivers - do you need more specific info? [23:35] ill figure it out im sure this is more simple than im making it lol [23:35] mezquitale: aha [23:35] unitedpotsmokers, yes, it's in malaysia just south of madagascar [23:35] nigtv: "bash stopwatch" has some hits [23:35] donnybrasco: good enough.. which chess app ? [23:36] This may sound like a stupid question, but what repository should I add if I want to download/install the lpia kernel on my current Ubuntu installation? (I have two kernels installed, generic and netbook. I would like to give lpia a shot, as well.) [23:36] Right now I usually boot into the netbook kernel image. [23:36] bucky: a chess app comes with the ubuntu default install [23:36] Is there any reason I still need all these old kernal versions? when I boot into grub I have .28-11 .28-13 and .28-14 [23:36] bucky: NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 (UMA) ... the game is the chess app included in gnome-games [23:37] so eeverybody is saying that linux could add/delete/modify/execute files from ntfs system right? [23:37] mezquitale: I have bookmarks.html in /home/myuser/.mozilla/firefox/.randomletterandnumbers/bookmarks.html [23:37] abbazabba, Yes, a few different ways [23:37] abbazabba: Yeah [23:37] i really have a problem here [23:38] donnybrasco: You are unable to play in 3D mode due to the following problems: No Python OpenGL support No Python GTKGLExt support [23:38] I am trying to install and dual-boot Ubuntu 9.04 onto my RAID0 system with Windows 7 already installed. So far I have tried followed the FakeRaid How-To guide but end up failing while setting up GRUB (Error 15 and Error 17- can't find disk and can't mount). I have also tried the Alternate Install CD but apparently Windows 7 has hijacked my MBR and GRUB doesn't work. [23:38] in some users i lost the keyboard locales [23:38] Anyone have any ideas about the lpia kernel? [23:38] xorg and sound broke after update, help! [23:38] bucky: Search for python gtk gl in synaptic, you probably need to install a package [23:38] jaunty [23:38] alex__: remove the ones you do not use... just make sure you have linux-image installed « sudo aptitude install linux-image » [23:38] bucky: NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 180) [23:38] flanders: apt-cache show installation-guide-lpia [23:38] how do i kill a process running from root, and kill it so it doesnt relaunch [23:38] donnybrasco: You are unable to play in 3D mode due to the following problems: No Python OpenGL support No Python GTKGLExt support [23:38] hey everybody. I am looking for more help on this. i have Xubuntu and I am having problems with the task list (the bar that has the open windows in it) it doesnt like to switch windows on different workspaces [23:38] hhh [23:39] tonii, you can change [randomnumbers] to anything you like and note the change in your profiles.ini file [23:39] bucky: sorry, just saw that msg [23:39] how do you run enemy territory in AOSS :/ [23:39] rz: sudo kill -9 processid, not recommended [23:39] bucky: Is that the HTML guide?

[23:39] 'man ulimit' seems a tiny bit misleading: 'ulimit' is actually provided by your shell, and 'man bash' (for example) might reveal much more functionality than 'man ulimit' [23:40] perhaps this should be mentioned in 'man ulimit'? [23:40] bucky: I know where to download the .iso for the lpia version of Ubuntu, but I already have Ubuntu installed and would like to download/install the kernel to use alongside my current one. (To test it out and compare.) [23:40] anyone help please? after normal update I got my xorg and sound broken ( I boot into comand line) I can get to the desktop with startx but the sound is broken also, please help anyone [23:40] bucky: my card doesn't support at all? If I have Python OpenGL and GTKGLExt installed, should I remove? [23:40] I was thinking that I need to add a repository? This is what I did for the netbook kernel. [23:40] Oh, by the way ikonia, if you weren't paying attention I was just answering questions in here. No need to "accidentally" kickban me from the channel again. :P Later everyone [23:40] flanders: sudo apt-get install installation-guide-lpia and read it [23:40] mezquitale: k, I just pointed out that bookmarks.html exists though. [23:40] would changing my DNS servers unchoke my bittorrent traffic? [23:41] mechtech, forwarding ports may help [23:41] Anyone have the mic working on stickam?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:42] bucky: Aside from the title of the document, there are no mentions about the lpia kernel. [23:42] mechtech, I think bittorrent connections don't use DNS lookup as they are all IP based [23:43] i have ubuntu server edition, i installed ubuntu desktop package , then i did a startx and now i am stuck on a dsektop screen that i cannot do anything... how do i kill this process or escape it [23:43] verb_: basically I don't want my ISP spying on my bittorrent traffic [23:43] the keyboard layout was set to default [23:43] tonii, congrats in your discovery!
