[00:01] sebsebseb: well, that bunch of characters is the name of a filesystem, and unlike the hd stuff, it doesn't change when shuffle disks around. Once you get the uuid right, in theory you don't have to worry any longer about how the kernel numbers disk drives. Personally, I prefer labels -- Same idea except you get t choose the label names yourself... [00:01] ibeekman: you can also export it in a terminal with gpg -a --export $USER === c is now known as charitwo [00:02] losher: oh right, well I prefer the old way, since that's what I got used to [00:02] losher: plus I don't understand about these uuid's maybe I should look it up sometime or something [00:02] Tenkawa: allright... gonna try it... [00:03] captaincrook: right now it wont boot at all right?' [00:03] doh [00:03] Hello I'm wondering if there's a way to slow down the output from /dev/urandom? I'm using tr -dc '[:print:]' < /dev/urandom now but its to fast [00:04] sebsebseb: the old way has 2 problems: a) if you add or remove a disk, the hd numbering changes, and b) different grubs may name disks differently, and so may different linuxes. uuids solve this, at the cost of being very long (to make sure they are unique). It's actually worth it if you move disks around much... === drmrhorse_ is now known as DrMrHorse [00:05] losher: do you know the command to determine the uuid of a disk?

[00:11] Hey guys. I am learning to get a firewall working. I have been playing around with UFW using the "linux firewall" component in Webmin. I had created a few rules as a test and they were working fine. But now any changes I do in webmin are being carried across to iptables.up.rules but they are not being implementd by ufw. I have tried ufw reload but it doesn't bring the new rules across. Is there another way I can force it to load the rules fro [00:11] cprime: router yeah. Opend the ports for the game (warcraft 3), well, forward ports is more of the correct term for it i suppose. [00:12] if there a better room for bash questions?

[00:20] thank you [00:20] Hi, What is a high quality video format that cinelerra can work with quickly and without too much strain on system resources? [00:20] veggteppe, I meant another machine on your local network, sorry. [00:21] cprime: Think i may have expressed my issue abit wrong xD, the "map server" is basicly the gaming server:P, were people can enter and game.:P [00:21] It just seems like even if i opend my port's on the router, that linux blox it or somet [00:22] Can Evolution export emails (for import into another client)? [00:22] veggteppe, ok well I'm trying to verify that you can the ports forwarded correctly. one way to do that is to look at incoming connections from both sides of a router. [00:23] Okay, no , don't have another computer on the net atm. [00:23] cooper77z: while I'm not familiar with Cinelerra (I've tried it but never used it), you want to use an I frame-only format like mjpeg or DV for editting. They're larger than other formats but faster and higher quality. [00:23] Hi all [00:23] I want to install Ubuntu Server 9.04 in a Xeon server, but I realized that the 64 version when downloaded the iso image says "AMD", ???? Is this normal? [00:24] JuanJOBC: Yes. AMD64 is the standard name for 64bit x86 compatable-type processors [00:24] Flannel, ahhh , ok, so I am not going to have any issue installing it in the Xeon one, am I? [00:25] JuanJOBC: Assuming it's 64bit, then no, no problems. [00:25] Flannel, ah ok man, the name of the ISO just confussed me, thanks a lot [00:26] JuanJOBC: just like i386 isn't *just* for intel processors ;) [00:26] veggteppe, ok, no worries.

[00:44] I've never had flash problems in my 64 bit distro [00:44] mezquitale: how do you install the flash plugin ?

[00:45] mezquitale: and i dont think it is on the repos either [00:45] Armageddon: do you want the 64-bit version or the 32-bit version (and yes you could run the 32-bit version on jaunty amd64) [00:45] Tenkawa: not the firefox plugin, i downloaded the repos i guess [00:46] Can someone help me out in getting my s Video working? [00:46] nawk: of course i want the 64 if it exists ! the plugin for firefox ! [00:46] any help would be great [00:46] Armageddon, the way I install it is I go to a website that needs flash, then I click on the link that tells me where to go to get the software, I download and install the software from adobe and it works, use the debian packaged software [00:46] mezquitale: but its 32 bit not 64, that's the problem they have no 64bit version [00:46] hmm [00:46] thanks [00:46] no adobe-flashplugin in 64 bit repos? [00:47] i need to mount my boot partition from a live cd ... but not in read only... any suggestion^ [00:47] Armageddon, flash, the original flash is owned by adobe, there is an open source software that will help you play flash but i never really use it, I just download from adobe [00:47] Armageddon, I believe the 64-bit version is an alpha release and is not in the repo. You would have to google it and unpack it [00:47] i thought 64 bit linux flash didn't exist? [00:47] derenrich_, yes it does. i'm using it as we speak [00:47] derenrich_: I didnt think so either (at least not "adobes") [00:47] Hi everyone, Using Ubuntu 8.04: If I set up a samba share in nautilus where is the share configuration shored?

[00:48] nawk: is it even a deb? [00:48] hm [00:48] or a standalone installer? [00:48] tenkawa nope [00:48] gnash is the other option [00:48] nawk: oh, alpha, is it any good? [00:49] gnash is subpar, at least the last time i tried i [00:49] t [00:49] its a shared library, but installation could not be any easier [00:49] * Tenkawa runs a few iterations of vmware converter on a vm [00:49] CaptainCrook: if you mount it. from a live cd. the root user should be able to have full access to it.

[00:59] guys, who can help me configuring alsa to make my linux work with headphones? [00:59] BigdaveJoker: you might have to create a symlink [00:59] I think distcc is just spawning gcc without -m64 [00:59] sounds like the tweaking I have to do for stuff like oracle [00:59] Tenkawa oh that makes sense Thanks I'll play around with that [01:00] rrva: very possible... or calling the linker wrong [01:00] BigdaveJoker: just be careful... you dont want to symlink the wrong version [01:00] Tenkawa: there is alot of stuff in this dmesg log [01:00] or have other programs try to use that link [01:00] Tenkawa rodger [01:00] mikejonez: anything look network related (errors.. etc) === nicolas_ is now known as Guest79124 [01:00] I was looking at the repos in Karmic and it looks like it has Firefox 3.0-5.

[01:02] anyone know why when i source my bash_profile from my bashrc it hangs? Is there some kind of cyclical sourcing happening? It works if i do it from cli after bash inits ;/ [01:03] mikejonez: check lspci [01:03] what kind of card is it? [01:04] some old dell card [01:04] haha === TT is now known as Guest12233 [01:05] I'm getting "gpg: WARNING: unsafe ownership on configuration file `/home/mikelifeguard/.gnupg/gpg.conf'" -- what permissions should that have, and how can I set those? [01:05] Also, where is the private key stored? I think I may have lost it :\ [01:05] ie deleted it :D [01:05] Brandon: http://sourceforge.net/projects/lamp-project/files/ [01:10] i am having some trubble with ifconfig / iwconfig [01:11] bye people :) [01:11] !ask | Brandon [01:11] Brandon: 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. :-) [01:12] How might I find out if a driver which the wiki has a work around for in 6.06 (Drapper) has or has not been updated in the 9.04? [01:14] does anyone know where ubuntu stores information about shared folders? === _NeoBlaster is now known as NeoBlaster [01:15] !paste | brandon [01:15] Brandon, please see my private message [01:15] e cineva roman? [01:16] hi [01:17] http://paste.ubuntu.com/237709/ any help?, btw i am trying to portforward some ports but i cant do anything without ifconfig / iwconfig [01:17] and also how do i use "LAMP" [01:18] Brandan www.portforward.com [01:18] *Brandon [01:18] LAMP stands for Linux+Apache+MySQL+PHP [01:18] it's a common stack for a WEB SERVER [01:18] if that's what you're trying to set up [01:18] then sudo apt-get install lamp [01:19] hi, virtualbox question for anyone willing to help [01:19] yeah but the person from portforward.com told me ifconfig / iwconfig [01:19] 1byte = 8 bits or = 10 bits in Ubuntu? [01:19] starwind I don't know much but I'll try to help [01:19] thanks :) [01:19] but it wont let me so that is why i asked here. [01:19] kbp: 8 bits. [01:19] Brandon, what exactly are you trying to port forward, and why? [01:19] ok ty WeblionX [01:20] blagh I give up on the vmware [01:20] me /quit [01:20] tried starting up win7 in VB, got an error saying vboxdrv wasn't loaded or there was a permisson problem [01:20] i am trying to start a shell [01:20] ookz I use VirtualBox [01:20] it's quite nice [01:20] as well as a IRC Port and IRCd and XDCC. [01:20] though I wish it had more features [01:20] starwind: Try installing dkms. [01:20] On windows? [01:20] Brandon, are you behind a router? [01:20] Or on linux? [01:20] right, web [01:20] Linux. [01:21] starwind: It should update the driver. [01:21] i was, but i checked synaptics [01:21] its already installed [01:21] >_< [01:21] starwind: Just a sec... [01:21] np [01:21] anyone got any ideas how to get to the cli when ctrl alt f1 doesn't do it? [01:22] starwind: Try `sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup`. === daBomb69 is now known as daBomb|AFK [01:22] what virtualbox it named as in the apt list? [01:23] Brandon, how does your computer connect to the Internet? [01:23] lol I did that but didn't add sudo, I totally screwed that up. I'm sure this will fix it then brb [01:23] apt-get install virt? [01:23] i am using usbmount for rdesktop and it works great for USB drives. is there anything like that for mounting CD-Drives ? [01:23] ookz: apt-get install virtualbox3 [01:23] thomg: Wireless [01:25] Er, virtualbox-3.0 [01:25] Sorry. [01:25] ookz: Er, are you installing from Ubuntu or from VirtualBox's website? [01:26] ookz: The one in Ubuntu is called `virtualbox-ose` [01:27] WeblionX, great it's working, sorry about the slip on sudo, I always forget that stuff :( [01:27] starwind: Not a problem. [01:27] ookz: You can also search for all packages in System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager. === cory is now known as Guest5267 [01:28] is there a shortcut to open (in nautilus) the containing folder of a document that's currently open? Like OS X's command-clicking the document title? [01:28] one more question if you wouldn't mind, I always get a pop-up that the color quality is set at 24bit but is optimized for 32bit, were can I make that change? [01:29] That happens in the guest, right? [01:29] do I make it in the VB program or the OS itself? [01:29] what is the max speed have u ever got from LAN? I'm backing up image from Ubuntu Server to Ubuntu Desktop but it's just 5MBps (around 40Mbps/100Mbps). Not even half of the capility [01:29] anybody here can tell me how can i get songs?? [01:29] *capability i meant [01:29] kbp: I've gotten 80Mbps on 100Mbps connection. [01:30] jipsy, buy a CD? [01:30] i min download... [01:30] jipsy: I think iTunes might run in Wine. [01:30] WeblionX do you need any tweak/config? [01:30] kbp: Nope. [01:30] jipsy, http://www.google.com/search?q=free+mp3+downloads&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a [01:30] kbp: You just need a harddrive and switch/router that are fast enough. [01:31] starwind: I think you need to change it in the guest OS. [01:31] thnx dude [01:31] Thomg: you still here? [01:31] Brandon yeah, sorry [01:32] its possible to disable 3G connections for network manager? [01:32] Brandon Most likely you are behind a router, and you need to be port forwarding on the router. If you are trying to set up a web server, that's a different use case. [01:32] well i have access to my router but i dont know what the ip i need to use is... [01:33] and i need that to find the right IP :s [01:33] Brandon: Right click on the network icon, then choose Connection Information. [01:33] so now you see what type of jam i am in? [01:33] hey guys, anyone know the best way to merge 35 two minute avis to a dvd? === daBomb|AFK is now known as daBomb69 [01:34] WeblionX my router has 108Mbps... so no idea why I can only get half of them [01:34] kbp: Are you using wireless? [01:35] WeblionX both pc r connecting to lan ports [01:35] (simple its just a server pc and a desktop pc) [01:36] kbp: It's most likely one of the hard drives or motherboards not being fast enough. [01:36] kbp: However, the router may also not be able to provide full throughput. [01:36] WeblionX: maybe the harddrives, bcoz the server one is 5400rpms but the desktop one is 7200rpms [01:37] kbp: Yeah, the 5400RPM drive is most likely limiting it. [01:37] thomg: now you understand the jam i am in? [01:38] Brandon: Right click on the network icon, then choose Connection Information. That will give you the IP of your computer to put in the router config. [01:38] WeblionX: lol then I guess I need to leave both those 2 pcs for a day to finish backingup things :D === s is now known as Guest77340 [01:38] ey guys i got problem [01:38] with my refresh size [01:38] its 60MHz, what should i do?;\ [01:38] My graphics card is NX 6600 le [01:38] rate. [01:38] dbm: Your refresh is at 60hz. I think thats normal. [01:38] dbm: If it's an LCD, that's normal. [01:39] where is the network icon? [01:39] dbm: If you need to change it, make sure you have the drivers for your video card installed. [01:39] Brandon: Top right. [01:39] linuxguy2009, no its not mate, sometimes i could put 75hz [01:39] and i reinstalled for some reason.. [01:39] you mean internet icon? [01:39] Brandon, are you on ubuntu right now? [01:39] and when i installed again onyl 60hz [01:39] Yes. [01:39] Brandon: Same thing. [01:39] dbm: Depends at what resolution your running your desktop and what modes your monitor supports mate. [01:40] my monitor is good [01:40] dbm: Im sure it is. [01:40] SyncMaster713n - Samsung [01:40] Brandon, you could also use the command "ifconfig" in the terminal to figure out ur ip [01:40] dbm: Check your monitor's manual for the optimal refresh rate. If it's higher than 60Hz, you most likely need to install the restricted drivers for your video card to be able to change it. [01:40] dbm: Lower resolutions on LCD monitors sometimes allow for 75hz depending on the reolution set. [01:41] ah i found it ty [01:41] dbm: i'd use gtf to generate modeline and add it to xorg.conf [01:42] Hm.. ok guys [01:42] I've try something ;) [01:42] Thanks for help. [01:42] dbm: Install proper video driver and check your owners manuals for supported resolutions and refresh rates. [01:42] Is it just me or is the update manager really slow to download from the main server these last few days? [01:42] well at least i think thats it [01:42] or it's localhost :x [01:42] richardcavell: Some people have been having problems with the main servers. [01:42] richardcavell: Have you scanned for a closer server? [01:42] WeblionX: Okay, good [01:42] I have a question about websvn... I have an svn repository. Websvn is installed and configured (I guess not completely though). The problem is that it seems to be ignoring my repository's auth info. I hit the websvn site and can view the entire repository without logging in... help :) [01:42] linuxguy2009: There's one in Australia but it gives me problems sometimes [01:43] richardcavell: ah [01:43] linuxguy2009: I switched from main server to Australia and it gave me all sorts of weird messages about wanting to do a partial upgrade and then finding nothing to upgrade [01:43] richardcavell: I see [01:43] richardcavell: Well, if you're in Australia, I'd suggest finding a server in Asia somewhere. [01:43] I think that's a better connection than the US one. [01:44] so it's just that Canonical's servers are under pressure? [01:44] Brandon, which method did you use? [01:44] Ok guys... I have a problem. I've had it before and I don't remember how to fix it. I resized my external drive using gparted. now the ntfs drive shows up as raw (but the partition is intact.. the type is just off) how do I manually set the partition to NTFS type? [01:45] richardcavell: It appears that way, but I don't have any official information. [01:45] Canonical's servers would be in South Africa, wouldn't they? [01:45] Neros: eek hope you did a system backup. [01:45] no... [01:45] richardcavell: ... [01:45] Does anybody know if this has been updated to work in 9.04? em. I've had it before and I don't remember how to fix it. I resized my external drive using gparted. now the ntfs drive shows up as raw (but the partition is intact.. the type is just off) how do I manually set the partition to NTFS type? [01:45] the drive is there... all the data is intact [01:46] hug [01:46] i have a problem 'error 17 in grub' anyone? [01:46] ugh [01:46] Neros: You can use cfdisk or testdisk to set the type. [01:46] Does anybody know if this has been updated to work in 9.04? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/DWL-G650%2B [01:47] thanks weblion... I couldnt remember the porogram names... cause I can go into acronis disk and tell it to mount it as an ntfs drive and it works... [01:47] hi I hve a pc with a 500gb hdd, Windows 7 is installed on 1 partition, I have 2 other partitions with data on, I shrunk 1 partition with windows disk manager to make 20gb space to install ubuntu, but when I run the ubuntu live and try to install it says the partition is unusable, why is this? [01:47] quit [01:47] is there a program i can use to burn an avi file to a dvd disc? or at least convert it to iso so i can? [01:47] WeblionX: linuxguy2009 okay thanks guys, I found a mirror closer to me and it seems to be a bit more reliable [01:48] hi everyone [01:48] I am looking for a program can anyone help? [01:48] zaccour: You mean you want to convert the AVI to a DVD video disk(as apposed to a DVD data disk)? [01:48] mel: Did you create a partition in the empty space? [01:48] no [01:48] mel: if the partition is in a extended partition according to Windows you will probably see this. [01:48] hello_world.c [01:48] mattwj2002: what sort of program? [01:49] just program [01:49] linuxguy2009, i want to be able to burn an avi file to a dvd disc to be able to play in a dvd player [01:49] a program like netstumbler that can detect 802.11n wireless networks [01:49] Brandon: what kind of router are you using? [01:49] * leleobhz ask for someone from networkmanager [01:49] zaccour: hmm never done that in linux yet. [01:49] WeblionX, not at first, I tried with just blank space and then tried with a partition (had to boot back into windows to make one) neither wy would work [01:49] Are you tired of Negros and their monkeyshines?

[01:50] i tried it said improper file type [01:50] Brandon: You have to look for something like "router status" and look for something like "DHCP client table" or "client list" or "connected clients" or something. [01:50] mel: Did you make it an "ext3" type partition? [01:50] zaccour: What kind of file did it want you to have? [01:50] linuxguy2009, avi [01:51] zaccour: AVI in what format? [01:51] anyone have any ideas [01:51] oh nevermind he's gone [01:51] ? [01:51] mel: From the live CD you can use gparted (Partition Editor) to make a partition as needed. [01:51] How do i change fonts in ubuntu 8.10 [01:51] WeblionX, no because windows didn't guve me the option for that type, I would have formatted it ext3 if ubuntu would let me but it just tells me it is unusable [01:51] linuxguy2009, the format is avi [01:51] mel: Does it tell you that it's unusable in gparted? [01:51] zaccour: AVI is notg a format. AVI is a container only. [01:51] WeblionX, yes [01:52] linuxguy2009, oh how do i figure that out? [01:52] zaccour: AVI can be divx or any number of formats. [01:52] yup yup [01:52] bbl [01:52] mel: Open a console and type 'sudo cfdisk /dev/' and paste the screen here http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [01:52] avi usually uncompressed [01:52] download the progam devede progam it will convert avi lv to dvd no problem [01:52] zaccour: not sure, maybe google for brasero dvd video or something. Im sure youll find something. Then you can always reencode it and then make a DVD. [01:53] ffmpeg best tool [01:53] zaccour: look through Add/Remove in the sound & video stuff. [01:53] ok WeblionX I will need to quickly reboot bck into ubuntu s I m in windowxs atm, brb [01:53] bc -l -p 7979 [01:53] nc -l -p 8080 [01:53] nc localhost 8080 [01:53] anyone have any ideas? [01:53] zaccour: DeVeDe looks popular in the list. [01:54] and there is one for windos to it free download [01:54] DeVeDe works very well.. could use a little work in some places.. but it does work [01:54] hi [01:54] hello [01:54] mattwj2002: What's the problem? [01:54] I find DeVeDE works better for me then many of the apps on windows that do a similer job. [01:55] zaccour: There ya go Dr Willis uses it and says its good. [01:55] hey jackie [01:55] hi bebe [01:55] I am looking for a program similar to netstumbler for ubuntu that supports 802.11n....I have an 802.11n wireless card that is working [01:55] vpn.itshidden.com [01:55] i know is freakin awesome [01:55] itshidden [01:55] mattwj2002: 'kismet' is pretty good. [01:56] is any body in here familar with XWinWrapper?

[01:59] WeblionX, already asked. they dont open [01:59] sorry WeblionX, I am back, could you please tell me the command again [01:59] Evet who's your isp??? [01:59] Hello :) [02:00] jackie_, turk telekom [02:00] mel: sudo cfdisk /dev/sd [02:00] howdy :) [02:00] wow- [02:00] turk telecom is bad [02:00] jackie_, sigh, it still don't work even after going to default encryption :/ [02:00] try using 1025 instead [02:00] hmm [02:00] it really sux, jackie_ [02:01] you made an accout right?? [02:01] vpr [02:01] bah wrong window [02:01] their default dns cannot reach porn sites, youtube, etc. [02:01] ok thanks WeblionX, here is the pastebin http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/f15f54e65 [02:01] i've only used it for 2 days now, but everything seems to work great [02:01] sometimes a little slow [02:02] Mel: I see the problem. [02:02] :/ [02:02] mel: You need to keep the data on the unusable partition, right? [02:02] MYTH > * http://ubuntu-chronicles.blogspot.com/2009/07/jaunty-vpn-itshiddencom.html [02:02] WeblionX: yes the unusable space is 2 partitions, 1 with data I want to keep and a 20gb space I made for ubuntu [02:03] do i have to regustur [02:03] sudo apt-get install network-manager-pptp [02:03] jackie_, did you use turk telekom? [02:03] no im in chicago XP [02:03] guys, i have dual boot, XP - UBUNTU, i want to resinstall XP, how can i do that? if i install xp, will i lose the grub? [02:03] http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/07/anonymous-bittorrent-using-itshidden.html [02:04] just ignore step 3 [02:04] COMCAST [02:04] so i installed laberath mindmapping and it is not working [02:04] mel: You can only have 4 primary partitions. Do you need to keep all the other partitions, too? [02:05] WeblionX: yes, I do need all of them unfortuntely [02:05] mel: Do you have any spare harddrives that can fit that data? [02:05] Ok, I think I screwed up somethin in aptitude, cause NO software from uni or multiverse repos are showin up [02:06] Hi all. I have just installed 64 bit ubuntu but when the auto update screen appeared a segmentation fault occurred on update? [02:07] WeblionX: not really but I guess I could split the data on the "unusable" space and put it in the other 2 partitons and resize them, I don't need much space for ubuntu === Emily is now known as MoonJu_ [02:08] yeah 1 prob 192.168.* is localhost [02:08] sorry to hear that liamo1 [02:08] mel: Well, the problem is you need to make one of the primary partitions an extended partition, then put the two unusable and the former one into the extend partition. [02:08] anu ideas why aptitude wouldnt dl anything from the uni or multi repos? [02:08] guys, i have dual boot, XP - UBUNTU, i want to resinstall XP, how can i do that? if i install xp, will i lose the grub? [02:08] for some reason laberith mind mapping is not working [02:08] mel: With just the one harddrive it'll be hard to do that. [02:08] so that did not work [02:08] TiM1: yes, but you can restore it, also why do you want XP? [02:09] to poop on [02:09] brandon: That's not localhost, that's the local network. [02:09] Jackie is this normal? It crashed my system and left it unusable [02:09] because i have a wife...! :D [02:09] no normal at all [02:09] did you change your repositories? [02:09] sebsebseb: how can i do that? [02:09] No [02:09] hmm [02:09] wasup dudes.. i am new opn Xchat [02:09] sudo apt-get update "does what?" [02:09] TiM1: maybe virtual machince XP inside Ubuntu? as long as you at least 512MB RAM === nubuntu is now known as CaptainCrook [02:09] Updatethe repository list [02:09] WeblionX: oh ok, I'm not too bright with all this stuff heh ;) I guess I will wait a few days and buy an external drive, thanks for all your help =) [02:10] !grub | TiM1 [02:10] TiM1: 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 [02:10] mel: No problem. Hope you get it worked out. [02:10] Sorry this was the auto update in ubuntu [02:10] oh [02:10] hmm [02:10] weird [02:10] sebsebseb: i have a poor pc... [02:10] TiM1: how much RAM? [02:10] I really need to get the universe and multi repos enabled, I know I'm askin frequently, but I got a splitting headache, and I cant restart cause I'm making a LiveCD, and I need certain files [02:10] oh i think you changed your kernel or even the headers [02:10] sebsebseb: 1gb [02:10] reboot and in the grub menu choose the bottom most ubuntu [02:10] TiM1: that's more than enough for an XP VM [02:11] Less there's a way to get a .deb file in there from outside the repos [02:11] you should have atleast 2 [02:11] not the restore one [02:11] Yes the first time it crashed it was the kernel update that caused it. The second time it was the dhcp update. [02:11] does anyone know if it's possible to get directX working winXP inside of virtualbox? I found a bunch of closed tickets that say it's fixed, but don't see how to actually make it work... [02:11] how do I reinstall the mouse drivers for ubuntu 9.04? [02:11] sebsebseb: but vm can run everything RIGHT? [02:11] what are you installing from "a downloaded cd" [02:11] Yes === XLV is now known as zz_XLV [02:12] request a cd from conical [02:12] my ps2 mouse stopped working on this laptop [02:12] TiM1: well it won't be that good for 3D gaming and things like that, but other stuff it will be good :) [02:12] crankharder: VirtualBox has limited DirectX 8.1 support. [02:12] GodfatherofEire: you can get links to deb files at packages.ubuntu.com ... Im not sure whats going on with you not getting those other repos, have you checked your sources.list? [02:12] crankharder: The version that Ubuntu uses does not have it at all. [02:12] hi: I have a dual boot windows and ubuntu 9.x with a data partition being shared for both .. under ubuntu , the /data partition is being owned by root and group plugdev ... how can I make this being owned by a regular user like "joe" which uses the system and be able to write to it from windows OS ? [02:12] sebsebseb: that's the problem, because i still can't run 3d games on ubuntu... [02:12] WeblionX: I got 3.0 from sun's repo, but I think I installed DX10, do I need to uninstall and get 8.1? [02:12] danbhfive, yeah, but i dont know of another way to load the program into a liveCD other than via aptitude [02:13] TiM1: you can have your dual boot, but also your XP VM :) [02:13] crankharder: No. Did you install the guest addons? [02:13] WeblionX: yes, actually I have DX9c installed... [02:13] virtual machine server is a little better than virtualbox [02:13] just from my experience [02:13] TiM1: not much fun having to restart into the other OS, when you don't have to, right? [02:13] GodfatherofEire: whats the error? [02:13] sebsebseb: i'll try vm asap [02:13] When I try to export a video's audio to a file using VLC, the audio in the resulting file is really choppy and doesn't play right [02:13] TiM1: and certain Windows games you can get working well in Wine [02:13] sebsebseb: i agree! [02:13] WeblionX: I've got DirectDraw Acceleration enabled, but Direct3D accel is "not available" [02:14] danbhfive, there isnt an error, thre just are no packages from uni or multi repos showin up [02:14] crossover is a very good program for windows apps on linux [02:14] sebsebseb: i tried but, it didn't work [02:14] but its not free anymore [02:14] How can I make a common partition to be write able by both a ubuntu user and a XP user on a dual boot system ? [02:14] jackie_: it never was free, unless when they have given it away free, counts [02:14] crankharder: You enabled 3D acceleration under the Display settings for the VM, and chose to install DirectX support when you installed the VirtualBox addons? [02:14] yeah [02:14] i got it when it was given away [02:14] GodfatherofEire: does update hit those repos? [02:15] jackie_: and that's only price, not freedom with the code being open and all that [02:15] sebsebseb did you get it too [02:15] WeblionX: no, I choose nothing when I installed addons...hang on [02:15] sebsebseb: i'm running ubuntu about 3 weeks now, and i'm liking it, but it's complicated... [02:15] ubuntu not complicated [02:15] TiM1: why do you think that? [02:15] no, but its wierd, cause they should be enabled [02:15] slackware is complicated [02:15] and arch is too [02:15] WeblionX: you mean "Guest addiations" right? [02:15] and gentoo [02:16] how do I reinstall the ps/2 mouse drivers in ubuntu 9.04? [02:16] crankharder: Yes. [02:16] hmm ps/2? [02:16] TiM1: Check out www.ubuntupocketguide.com ... really good start [02:16] How can I make a common partition to be write able by both a ubuntu user and a XP user on a dual boot system ? [02:16] do lspci [02:16] WeblionX: pretty sure i checked this last time -- reinstalling/rebooting.. [02:16] sebsebseb: because install programs is easy for people who knows the linux a long time [02:16] vaustin: You shouldn't have to. If you need to reload it, rmmod psaux ; modprobe psaux [02:16] jackie_, yes ps/2 was working but not after installing nvidia 3d driver [02:16] sebsebseb: wait a minut i'll be right back [02:16] TiM1: there are some differences between Ubuntu and Windows, when it comes to the OS basics, but it dosn't have a steep learning cruve for the basics [02:16] mouse is good it just stopped working [02:16] lol@windows "playing logoff sound" [02:16] hmm [02:16] try another driver [02:16] it works under other linux distros [02:16] crankharder: Like I said, it's limited DX support. It might not be enough for what your application needs. [02:16] how? [02:17] WeblionX: well should dxdiag say that Direct3D is avilable? it still says it's not [02:17] vaustin: You shouldn't have to. If you need to reload it, rmmod psaux ; modprobe psaux [02:17] thanks [02:17] I'll try that [02:18] lspci will tell me if the mouse is being recognized? [02:18] Hey folks - quick question, how would I stop my touchpad scroll (aka mouse middle scroll button) switching window focus? [02:18] vaustin try nvidia accelerated graphics driver version 173 [02:18] lspci tells you all pci devices [02:18] !aptitude [02:18] I used envyng to install [02:18] 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 [02:18] StupidWeasel: You mean when you click on it? [02:18] it's a toshiba 6100 with geforce4 420 go [02:19] Or the equivalent. [02:19] Yea, I often accidenly brush it - and change window focus at an inconvenient time =P [02:19] disable it [02:19] I'd still like to be able to scroll text within applications. [02:19] I'd just like to disable the window switching function =3 [02:19] GodfatherofEire: try editing /etc/apt/sources.list and add the repos there [02:19] hmm arrow keys?? [02:20] StupidWeasel: Well, you can just keep the mouse away from the window bar, but I think there's an option, let me see... [02:20] Ok, I've checked the software sources, and nothin, still not checkin uni and multi, so how would I add em from aptitude [02:21] has anyone play URBANTERROR? [02:21] i right clicked on firefox icon and tried to create a luncher. now it dosent work.

[02:23] GodfatherofEire: you just use the existing url for main, and add: universe multiverse restricted [02:23] or use worm-whole-extension [02:24] riight [02:24] My hosting provider offers me IPs for one time charge. I think Ipv4 about to be finished. Should I purchase lots of IPs? [02:24] Evet: No. [02:24] Naa [02:24] no [02:24] IP6 address will be given out like candy. [02:24] Really? hmm [02:25] I just wish Ubuntu worked properly with my IPv6 connection. [02:25] They already are with some ISPs [02:25] dfrbn, very funny [02:25] do you still have to turn that off in ubuntu without clogging your fat pipe [02:25] isp's are thiefs [02:25] this is what i get when click firefox icon ...Could not launch application. Failed to execute child process "/home/sidney/Desktop/new file~" (Permission denied) [02:26] Yea they are, with the amount mine charges me for service. Let alone the "extras". [02:26] I have an ati video card, its working really well..its using the perpriatry drivers though(the restricted drivers i think it calles them) Thing is, i cant enable compiz. Its like compiz things that there is no 3d. [02:26] sidewalk: Use the default one from the menu. [02:26] cool [02:26] danbhfive, that should do it [02:26] GodfatherofEire: cool [02:26] Er, sidney, sorry. [02:27] Humm I think I might just disable the scrolling option of the touchpad and get used to using page up, page down & the arrow keys again. [02:27] 1300 people in here. Tab-complete's almost useless. [02:27] There are worse things to get used to. [02:27] what does this do inside a script cd `dirname $0` ? [02:27] StupidWeasel: Yeah, I can't find any options.

[02:45] please, can someone help me enable my network devices in 9.04.... i am not sure what to do. is there a command from the terminal i can use? i haven't found any options from the networkmanager to do so.

[02:46] ive got this DVD burnt in vista that my friend have got stuff on he needs. it seems impossible to mount, showing it up as a UDF device and spitting out all kinds of errors in console, /var/log/syslog and dmesg. [02:46] i dont care if i mount it or rip the data out by some dumping procedure, i want those files so some hints on recovering would be nice [02:46] vock: You need to set uid=1000,gid=1000 on the options section. [02:46] The only good thing about that damn net gear router is the blue flashing lights. [02:46] vock: Or whatever your group number is.

[02:48] just get build-essential [02:48] insted of going one by one in Synaptic [02:48] well is there a file with all packages [02:48] Quantix: Well, you can try a different router then. Seems weird that your other systems work with it. [02:49] I know its making me angry, i think this router is just incompatible with non-windows devices. [02:49] so i don't need to go 1 by 1 to threw installation [02:49] masterstatu31: if you actual problem is 'torrent' speeds.. that can also vary greately - ive never really noticed a relable test - other then testing over several days at different sites/times and seeing what averages out.

[03:11] TiM1: maybe sound don't work at all, one test you could do is, put an audo cd in and play it, and then do you hear it? [03:11] because notify-osd cuts of after 10 lines, it doesn't count characters.. any ideas? [03:11] HD video playback really jerky. Using movie player. Suggestions? [03:11] with full-disk encryption, doesn't an adversary have an incredibly good idea what certain parts of the disk look like? i can make a pretty good educated guess about the start of the disk, for instance.

[03:31] jd123: maybe just ignore dependencies? :f [03:32] jd123, then you want ubuntu server, no, theres no way ubuntu debs are going to work with red hat, and upgrading an obsolete red hat is also impossible IMHO. [03:32] DaZ: that a good thing to do? [03:32] jd123: imo php doesn't depend on python [03:33] durt: thought so! all nightmares eventually come true! [03:33] jd123: #rhel or ##linux would be a more appropriate place to ask. #ubuntu cannot help with redhat issues, sorry. [03:33] alright, is anyone else haveing severe issues with the recent kernal?

[03:35] alright, is anyone else haveing severe issues with the recent kernal? particularly networking is dropping every 10 seconds [03:36] rincon: are you sure you want to use fsck? [03:36] gartral, version number? [03:36] DaZ: yes, why is there any problem_ [03:36] is there a way to repair ubuntu ? i was installing some packages and it gave me an error and wanted to remove some packages to fix the error but it removed all my packages !! any help ? [03:36] Mikey^, yes it's in the repos [03:36] rincon: it's for linux partitions ;c [03:37] ubuntu: even kernel? [03:37] durt: is it an update to 3.0.12 or a separate package ? [03:37] means if I install 3.5 I will have both 3.0.12 and 3.5.1 right ? [03:37] DaZ: i dont think so, but all gnome and network manager, well actually EVERYTHING ! but i dont think the kernel was touched [03:37] DaZ: yes i know, but there are some files i created with linux on the windows partition that can not be erased from windows [03:37] anyone know why I have to pass -speed=N for growisofs when burning a DVD ISO? [03:37] Mikey^, yes [03:37] ok [03:38] ok, my networking is dropping every 10 seconds after todays kernal update, its too the point that i have too rerun dchclient every time network flow stopd [03:38] rincon: if you can't remove it with rm, fsck won't help [03:38] gartral: what kernel version ? [03:38] you can reformat it with mkfs [03:38] Mikey^: what ever todays was.. its brand new and borked [03:38] okay.. so i have this older crt monitor.. and when x starts, the resolution is 1024x768. but when i get into the desktop, the monitor turns off then back on and sets itself to 800x600. doesnt seem to matter what i do, problem persists. [03:39] gartral: using jaunty ? [03:39] any help guys ? any way i can reinstall all the packages that come with ubuntu without formating ? [03:39] Mikey^: yep [03:39] did you check dmesg ? [03:39] cause it would be the 6th time in 2days [03:39] rincon: anyway, df shows mounted partitions, and then do fsck /dev/sdxy [03:39] ubuntu: you can reinstall them [03:39] DaZ: how ? [03:39] apt-get install? :f [03:39] so you kernel version will be 2.6.28-14 ? [03:39] i removed it with ubuntu.s filesystem explorer but i want to fsck to be sure the partition is free of errors [03:40] DaZ: manually ? they are in hundred, i dont remember half of them :S [03:40] gartral: also check tail /var/log/messages as root [03:40] Mikey^: i just ran sudo dhclient eth0 which i had too run dhclient before, just now being the first time i had to sudo too make a solid connectio.. [03:40] DaZ: besides i cant connect to my network !!! [03:40] ubuntu: should be cached [03:40] ubuntu: dude just boot into an older kernel...see if that helps [03:40] gartral: dhclient should be run as root unless you are using network manager which is run as root user [03:40] i'll try what DaZ is suggesting but i dont think it will work cause i dont think i still have gnome !! [03:40] every decent distro has packages cache, but ubuntu is... ubuntu.. :f [03:40] DaZ: You know anything about growisofs [03:41] i don't [03:41] uber_noober: check the man page [03:41] Mikey^: first time it had too be root for me [03:41] ubuntu: you don't need gnome to use apt-get <: [03:41] DaZ: i know :/ but i need gnome to get back my desktop :) [03:41] Mikey^: Did already, but I keep getting an I/O error from k3B and cli [03:41] Mikey^: also, i dont have network manager, im running e17 [03:41] later guys [03:41] ubuntu: you can always use cdrom as a repository [03:41] DaZ: WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause, SEVERE filesystem damage., Do you really want to continue (y/n)? [03:42] uber_noober: its just doesnt create the entire iso image before buring [03:42] rincon: it's yours system [03:42] DaZ: i prefer to try scandisk from windows, sorry [03:42] Mikey^: I have to specify a burn speed which is odd...thought it was a media issue [03:42] mkisofs creates the entire iso image before burning a data disc, growisofs does not create an entire image [03:42] -s :f === zz_XLV is now known as zz_zz_XLV [03:43] Mikey^: actually it uses geniso to create and iso...but it should be able to burn an iso made from mkisofs [03:43] DaZ: and dosfsck is not dangerous to the ntfs filesystem? [03:43] uber_noober: did you check the options [03:44] rincon: it's still fsck [03:44] uber_noober: forgetting about burnkit? [03:44] if you are able to toggle between growisfs and mkisofs.. if you have a lot of tmp space you can use that [03:44] Mikey^: yeah, that's why i am werieded out...I have to force the speed at N for it to work [03:44] rincon: besides... fat!=ntfs [03:44] can anybody help me with VMware Tools ?

[04:21] donavan_: good question! [04:21] i installed slacwkare but i chose not to install it's lilo bootloader because i won't to use ubuntu's grub how do i add slacwkare to menu.lst? [04:21] donavan_: an .m3u is a playlist, which in your case may be pointing to a stream. [04:21] is their a way to get a menu or somthing with internet bookmarks in the panel or desktop [04:21] slackware* [04:21] mechtech, yup [04:22] durt: so, my problem lies elsewhere [04:22] ghoti: it lists Atheros Communication AR 242x 802.11abg and Attansic Device 1062 [04:22] ghoti ok then is there a way/program that will strip the internet location out of the m3u file and start a download [04:22] donavan_: wget the url ... [04:23] Ghoti, when radio stations broadcast the station over the internet and bury their live web link - is there an easy way to grab it? [04:23] ho;a [04:23] donavan_, streamripper [04:23] barbara: Yeah that can happen too, yes. Cna you restart in recover mode? [04:23] searcher: nice thanks [04:23] donavan_: pastebin the m3u [04:23] joeyeye thanks too [04:23] mechtech, X driver has nothing to do with video probs on the terminal. [04:23] A kinder, gentler tuxwolf [04:24] mdg: if you can 'view soure' the page with the link that starts the feed, you might be able to find it. Also, most media players will show the URL they're streaming from IME === starcraft is now known as starcraftman [04:24] I have a dvd of pictures that was burned on a MAC and when I insert it I see the volume label but no data. I installed hfsplus and hfsutils [04:24] durt: everything else is going so well, I really hate to fix what's not broken, you know? [04:24] joeyeye: I can manually get the files but I want to get about 100 of them and it would take too long to do it one by one [04:24] I think the dvd was burned for / with the MAC filesystem [04:25] Ghoti: one in particular passes off the link three times - wish it were on shoutcast [04:25] mechtech, well if you don't need the VTs then ya, theres no prob :) [04:25] JuJuBee: got another computer around to put the disk into? [04:26] I only have my laptop (linux also) [04:26] when i try to apt-get ndisgtk it asks me to put in the disc for Jaunty, any one have any ideas how to not have to do that?

[04:27] Hello all, i'm having problems connecting to a vpn server, and i was looking through the syslogs and found that there might be a bug in the pptp plugin for gnome's network manager, log can be found here: http://pastebin.com/d28882e50 ; can anyone help me resolve this issue? [04:27] JuJuBee: no, I just thought to myself (if she's able to get the volume label to appear, then the drive is fine...it's prolly the filesystem on the disk) [04:28] deexannihilate1: you got wired working? [04:28] mechtech: I thought that since it can be read on a mac that if I installed hfsplus I could read it [04:28] joeyeye sounds like a plan thanks [04:29] i'm trying to apt-get ndisgtk but its asking me to put in the jaunty disk, can anyone help me? [04:29] JuJuBee: when you (or whomever) burned the disk...how did they do it? [04:29] JuJuBee: using what program [04:29] ? [04:29] I did not burn it. A photographer in NYC did and it belongs to one of my students. Not sure what they used or how they burned it. It reads in a MAC (so I am told) [04:30] I just assumed they used HFS+ [04:30] hfs on a cd? :f [04:30] Hello everyone I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to make a gamepad work in wine which works fine in ubuntu [04:30] DaZ : dunno, not really familiar with MAC [04:31] Suppose they could have used the drive like a floppy? forget what that is called... inCD or something [04:31] JuJuBee: cds are platform independent [04:31] it's either iso or udf :f [04:31] wait [04:32] deexannihilate1: did you say you are using 8.04 or 9.04? Ubuntu Netbook Remix? [04:32] it's not a cd isn't it? :f [04:32] DaZ : dvd [04:32] JuJuBee: yes...what DAZ is saying [04:32] whatever, it's still cd/dvd [04:33] JuJuBee: ISO9660 to be exact [04:33] Teclys, system>admin > software sources .. uncheck Cdrom in ubuntu Software [04:33] that floppy part made me unsure :f [04:33] So why would the data not show up when I mount it? [04:34] JuJuBee: could it be possible that it is a SLIDESHOW DVD made with iDVD? [04:34] mechtech: suppose anything is possible since I did not burn it. [04:34] JuJuBee: and not a DATA DVD made with disk utility? [04:34] hello anyone here who could help me [04:35] varun, many people, just ask your question [04:35] so, post-install of jaunty, [drv], [gutenprint.5.2], and [foomatic] and install fails for those packages.. i did a apt-get remove, and apt-get install again to see if it could recover, but still defuncts... how can i figure out why those three defunct?

[04:42] Anyone here use Vuze on Jaunty? Every time I start it, it loads the 3.x version of Azureus and prompts that there is a 4.2.0.4 update available. When I download it and restart, it just loads the 3.X version again and prompts me to update... anyone had this problem? [04:43] bthornton, it's a permission issue [04:43] mdg: I actually already downloaded that link onto the computer originally when i tried to fix it. It says something about trailing garbage ignored. I don't know how to open it and run it because of it. [04:43] renaud_: what do I need to change the permissions on, then? [04:43] I've tried wiping out the $HOME/.azureus directory and that doesnt' seem to help [04:44] JuJuBee: try this: http://www.isobuster.com/ [04:44] joeyeye: thanks. I assumed that when I inserted the disc and saw the volume label it mounted when I clicked on it, but it didnt I mounted it and can ls via cli... [04:44] bthornton: you need write permissions in / <: [04:44] Can somebody help me with my audio issues? I started a thread, I've searched around, I've read through guides, I can't figure it out [04:44] JuJuBee: sorry...thought you said you mounted it [04:45] I also need help with a video issue [04:45] i'd say to run vuze with sudo but it's evil [04:45] ooooh okay so sudo chown -R ugo+rwx / then? [04:45] Azureus USED to rule! [04:45] JuJuBee: so it does sound like it's mounted, so it's a block device, but ubuntu can't understand the filesystem ? [04:45] bthornton: no way... [04:45] (don't anybody ever do that command ever, by the way) [04:45] ha I know [04:45] bein a smartass [04:46] Daz: but, seriously... write permissions on / ? [04:46] bthornton: vuze needs to update and doesn't have permissions [04:46] so update goes.. somewhere [04:46] bthornton: remove azureus and install vuze ... [04:46] Can anyone assist with an nvidia driver screwup [04:46] what do you call ubuntu that you have to pay for? [04:46] the best solution is to remove vuze and download the latest version and install it in your home directory [04:46] DaZ: ah I thought the update JAR was going to somewhere in my home dir [04:46] Jewbuntu [04:46] joeyeye: I am able to browse the disk now. Usually if my device notifier shows a disk and I click on it, it mounts. This one did not. I mounted manually using your suggestion [04:47] guess not [04:47] X is throwing a font error where it can't sfind the type1 or freetype modules [04:47] whatever, if you don'tuse magnet links you can leave vuze alone [04:47] anyone knows how to rotate view 90 deg cw with ATI drivers on one of my monitors?

[05:18] i have 965gm graphics card [05:18] mdg: why must this be sooo difficult :( [05:18] deexannihilate: me either - its a stumper all right [05:19] deexannihilate: What's the problem? [05:19] skreech: I can't get my netbook to connect to the internet via cable or wireless [05:19] hey [05:19] so there's this command lying in my /usr/bin [05:19] deexannihilate: what happens when it connects by cable? [05:19] skreech: deexannihilate has an acer aspir one D250, lost ethernet and now wifi [05:20] and i want to be able to call it without typing /usr/bin [05:20] what should i do [05:20] i am a complete noob! [05:20] anyone? [05:20] Etherael: have you enabled the backports repo? [05:20] whatsup im looking for the linux gamers channel or can i get my gamer question here? [05:20] skreech [05:20] skreech: I found a post on ubuntu forum with a couple of fixes but having trouble still [05:20] skreech: absolutely nothing [05:20] (skreech)<<<......no ksystem logger is what i'm wandering why it want load [05:20] narretgrez: /usr/bin should be in your shell's path [05:20] skreech: the wifi is Atheros and the ethernet is Atansic [05:20] mneptok, how do i achieve that? [05:20] tomrian: perhaps give wicd a chance ? [05:21] deexannihilate: Do you get a eth0 when you type ifconfig? === c is now known as charitwo [05:21] mneptok, i know how to use the terminal and vim [05:21] narretgrez: what does "echo $PATH" tell you? [05:21] skreech; no [05:21] mneptok: can you read my question? [05:21] Bigshot_: I'm not much of a graphics guy... what are you trying to do ? [05:21] joeyeye: that was my last option :P... i wanted to figure it out without removing network manager [05:21] mneptok: /home/narretgrez/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games [05:21] Bigshot_: yes. my English is quite good. [05:21] skreech: ifup says error as well [05:21] deexannihilate: That's the problem you need to load up a module [05:22] narretgrez: as you see, /usr/bin is in the path [05:22] narretgrez: so just type the comamnd name [05:22] skreech: last night, we tried probably 6 things and nothing fixed the problem [05:22] tomrian: I gave up on networkmanager ages ago ... love wicd - no probs ever [05:22] skreech: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1141529&highlight=acer+aspire+one+wifi+driver page 8 has ethernet driver and page 1 post 7/8 describes wifi [05:22] skreech: how do I do that [05:22] deexannihilate: do you know what those6 things were? [05:22] skreech: mdg probably knows more than I do to be honest [05:22] joeyeye: nice, i'll give it a chance. Thanks :) [05:23] skreech: no I don't.. [05:23] mdg: What was tried? does the cards have known issues / [05:23] ? [05:23] skreech: yes - known issues [05:23] hi, i canot make a dial up connection [05:24] ok im cereal, could someone point me in the direction of the linux gamers channel? [05:24] i only hear a fake dialing sound [05:24] donjuanluis07: #gametome [05:24] skreech: I know we tried to automatically configure it, manually configured it through nano [05:24] skreech: from what I can tell by reading link I post previously, if deexannihilate is using 9.04 UNM, there are reports ethernet stops working, wifi led does not come on and front mic does not work [05:25] skreech: only concerned with ethernet and wifi at this point, right deexannihilate ? [05:25] skreech: gracias [05:25] skreech: yes [05:25] does anyone know how to reset /etc/environment? [05:26] narretgrez: Probably don't want to mess with that file too much [05:26] tomrian: did you try specificying the wep key in /etc/network/interfaces ? [05:26] ok i am a noob [05:26] ~_~ [05:26] skreech: I was trying to help deexannihilate unzip the ethernet driver as in this post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1141529&highlight=acer+aspire+one+wifi+driver&page=8 #71 and #72 [05:27] is there any place i can get the help with VMware [05:27] ? [05:27] narretgrez: Does that mean you already messed with it? [05:27] skreech: AR81Family-linux-v1.0.1.0.tar.gz [05:27] neetals: what's the question ? === mike is now known as Guest71166 [05:28] neetals: #vmware [05:28] join #vmware [05:28] deexannihilate: Soo you've been installing a driver by hand? [05:29] joeyeye: nop, but right now i'm trying with wicd if can set the key... wish me luck [05:29] skreech: what is the command to get into nano and i'll tell you what i did [05:29] I know on windows, with the cpu-z program, you can check the model of motherboard you're running.. can this be done with anything on ubuntu? [05:30] skreech: you play lgeneral? [05:30] tomrian: good luck [05:30] hi how do i customize the installer [05:30] cat /proc/cpuinfo for cpu info [05:31] deexannihilate: To get into nano ? [05:31] ii need to create a installer for my cutomized ubuntu [05:31] donjuanluis07: used to [05:31] !remaster [05:31] Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [05:31] skreech: yes, i remember sudo nano /something/something/networking ? === XLV is now known as [XLV] [05:31] Sherlock, I know that. I want the motherboard's model number. [05:31] deexannihilate: press ^r and type nano [05:32] joeyeye: it works :D... Thanks a lot :) [05:32] sherl0ck, ^ [05:32] skreech: deexannihilate was trying to add eth0 to /etc/network/interfaces via nano [05:32] ^r means Ctrl+R by the way [05:32] skreech: iface eth0 inet dhcp is what we added manually [05:32] Hello all, i'm having problems connecting to a vpn server, and i was looking through the syslogs and found that there might be a bug in the pptp plugin for gnome's network manager, log can be found here: http://pastebin.com/d28882e50 ; can anyone help me resolve this issue? [05:33] skreech: i was gametome and no one is responding, i tried to use lg-pg to change the Panzer General data you need to play the game, and it came back telling me it did not see the FLAGS.shp file, and i checked and I do have it in the folder. Do you have any idea what I need to do next? [05:33] deexannihilate: Well honestly that's a difficult route to walk. Do you have a walkthrough that you were following yourself or were you just being helped by mdg ? [05:33] skreech: either mdg or dsnyders was directing me along the way [05:33] Bob_dole: something tells me thats not passible [05:33] tomrian: heh ! never look back at networkmanager [05:34] deexannihilate: I get that But were you following them by reading the instructions yourself? [05:34] skreech: both dsnyders and I were helping her. I was using the ubuntu networking troubleshooting page [05:34] mdg: Good idea [05:34] sherl0ck, oh. I can do it on windows with cpu-z, it's one of the things it outputs. I don't know if it does it for -every- board though [05:34] skreech: no, they were physically telling me what to type [05:35] deexannihilate: Ah ok.. hmm [05:35] Bob_Dole, lshw [05:35] deexannihilate: did these devices ever work? [05:35] sherl0ck, thanks. I'll see if that outputs the desired information. [05:35] skreech deexannihilate : I can't stay to watch and learn - its getting late, but I will check back tomorrow if you are around [05:36] mdg: ok! thank you again! [05:36] mdg: Me either I have to go like 10 minutes ago [05:36] skreech: they worked up until yesterday afternoon [05:36] deexannihilate: your welcome! [05:36] hi I'm having a problem installing 8.04.3 for some reason it thinks that my hdd is a scsi and not a sata. It will let me install but then fail at boot with an error message. [05:36] night all o/ [05:36] skreech: well, wireless did, the ethernet did not [05:36] mdg: night === charitwo_ is now known as charitwo [05:37] deexannihilate: Ha ha really? What happened yesterday afternoon? === jabagawe` is now known as jabagawee [05:37] sam-ubu-boob - what is message? [05:37] ok just a sec [05:37] skreech: could you send me to the right place to figure this out it seems you are quite busy [05:38] skreech: :) [05:38] donjuanluis07: Best bet would be the LG forums [05:38] donjuanluis07: k thanks [05:38] or friendly search engines :-) [05:38] alert! /dev/disk/by-uuid/(bunch of stuff) does not exist. dropping to shell! [05:39] !uuid [05:39] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [05:39] k [05:39] joeyeye: lol, you are right.. another question, is there a gnome plugin for wicd so i can see the status of the network in the task bar ? [05:40] 94a658e0-087f-4552-aecf-3b791f5d40ec [05:40] can someone please analize this paste bin for me and tell me if I have a hacker/internet service provider security problem? http://paste.ubuntu.com/238157/ [05:41] anyone using dovecot here? [05:41] 7.10 did not do this. :( [05:42] skreech: got it to work thanks a million [05:42] deexannihilate: did you install anything? [05:42] tomrian: wicd-client [05:42] skreech: I was following one of the ubuntu tutorials on how to fix the wifi because it constantly goes in and out (both in my home and at&t wifi at starbucks) and at the point where the link was suppose to be entered, I entered it and it failed. (It was a known issue and I followed the tutorial on how to enter the ip in so that it would read it.. but it didn't work either) and ever since, wireless hasn't worked. http://ubuntufo [05:42] anyone have any idea on how small "/boot" can be for a xubuntu install? [05:42] sam-ubu-noob: 8.04.3 doesn't usually do this either .... Was it an upgrade or a fresh install? [05:42] http://paste.ubuntu.com/238162/ [05:42] skreech: #6 [05:43] deexannihilate: Ah and here is where you learn the value of backing up settings before following tutorials :) [05:43] skreech: only if you teach me! because I have no idea! [05:44] mezquitale: it depends on how much information you need stored there. don't forget that all your user account settings _for every installed program that needs them_ are stored there [05:44] joeyeye: thanks [05:44] deexannihilate: well it's a simple concept. UNIX settings are in files. if you change the files then it follows whatever is inside of them [05:45] Hello. I guess Microsoft has too big of a head to tell me this. What audio and video codecs should I use to import into Windows Movie Maker? This is an urgent question. Thanks. [05:45] DerKlempner , i thought "/boot" contains just the stuff needed to boot up your distro [05:45] deexannihilate: If you have something that kinda works then copy the file to somewhere safe probably in your home directory before you edit it. If things go badly just copy it back [05:45] mezquitale: gah, you're right! for some reason, i thought you said "/home"! my mistake [05:45] skreech: makes complete sense [05:45] then the file is the same as it was at the start and it's back to kinda working [05:46] deexannihilate: if you were following a tutorial then I would hope you have a live cd [05:47] Are there any Linux Apps that fully utilize 64 bit processor? [05:47] skreech: I don't have a live CD, but I can just download it onto a memory stick. [05:47] mezquitale: considering all your kernel images reside in /boot, you might want to make it no less than 3 or 4GB [05:48] skreech: do you think I should just reinstall the system? I've spent 7 hours on here without luck. [05:48] Crazy_Geek, -nothing- fully utilizes a 64bit processor. Sure some utilize more than 32bit processor could offer, though. [05:49] deexannihilate: If you have your data seperate on a home partition you could [05:49] Thanks Bob I was just curious I use 64 bit because I have 4 gig of memory and 32 bit can't address the full amount so I loose a gig [05:49] deexannihilate: what problem do you have? [05:50] ultraz: I can't get an internet connection via cable or wireless. [05:50] What I was thinking was boot a live image and if the wireless works then just look at the tutorial and what ever files you changed just copy them back from the live image :) [05:50] a 64bit CPU can offer 16 exabytes of RAM. when's the last time you saw 16 exabytes of anything? [05:50] skreech: I don't know how to do that! you are expecting way too much of me! :) [05:50] I need help. Plus, I have never used IRC before so I am a little uncertain as to the rules of etiquette. [05:50] deexannihilate: sorry, if i make you type all over again but, did it ever work? Or it's a fresh install? [05:51] How does one open a sh file? [05:51] Gobby: open, or run? [05:51] ultraz: it worked until yesterday when I followed this tutorial page 1 #6 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=902860&highlight=Atheros+Communications+Inc.+AR242x+802.11abg&page=6 [05:51] Just like ext4 file system and support up to a exabyte partition where can I get a exabyte drive [05:51] deexannihilate: Well the first thing is to see if the live image has net :) [05:51] AK: ask your question, and if somebody can help they will reply. please don't spam. [05:51] Gobby, open or run? open with an editor run it with sh [05:51] I guess run , Its a game client. [05:52] What do you meant run it with sh ? [05:52] yup [05:52] Command for terminal? [05:52] or if it's executable just ./ [05:52] yeah [05:52] I just installed Ubuntu for the first time. All went well. Update manager popped up and i did the updates, rebooted and now i cant use it because my screen resolution is too high for my monitor. [05:52] Is there a recommended device that will play multi media files on my tv from a wireless connection? Compatible with Ubuntu 9.04? [05:52] deexannihilate: Then I guess you can find the same tutorial that you were following and anytime it mentions a file copy it to your home directory after that you can get help to either use those files or push forward on making the connection more stable [05:53] Gobby: chmod +x nameoffile and then ./file [05:53] ultraz: but the ethernet didn't work prior. I'm not sure if it ever worked to be honest. it might have a month ago when i got it, but i don't remember [05:53] hello [05:53] when i do that it says no such file or directory [05:53] Gobby, but is that file from a trusted source? don't just execute anything [05:53] skreech: I don't think I have a live image [05:53] Yes. [05:53] have you got adobe-flashplugin (10.0.32.18-1intrepid1) update also? [05:53] Its not like a cracked game or somthing [05:54] Its something from s2games. [05:54] ultraz: Hold on I think someone had some URLS with info [05:54] Gobby, no such thing in linux =) [05:54] I got the beta for Heroes of Newerth :). [05:54] AK: what can you see on-screen when X starts? [05:54] skreech: mdg did [05:54] i want to know where is written that this update is? [05:54] only thing i can get running is the recovery mode screen and the shell. [05:54] deexannihilate: was that correct link, i am cant open it. I dont have GUI, using Links that might be the issue. [05:55] Do you know what to do it says no file or directory [05:55] let me clarify... just a moment [05:55] ultraz: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1141529 [05:55] Gobby: point to the existing file [05:55] here ? http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid-updates/multiverse/binary-i386/Packages.gz [05:55] fresh install on a 18gb peice of unpartitioned free space. win xp sp2 installed on a primary partition already. but once again that was no prob before. [05:55] Gobby, well you'd have to be in the right directory [05:55] sam-ubu-noob: I'm not convinced about the scsi thing. Most drives are emulated to look like scsi to the kernel... [05:55] basically i had 7.10 installed everything was good with win and all. I upgraded 7.10 even thought I knew it was a bad idea. got this error on reboot. figured it was just the update messing up so I used UBCD to delete the partitions for linux and fixed the mbr so win woud boot back up normally. then..... [05:55] AK: what kind of video card do you have? [05:56] in it other version [05:56] 10.0.22.87ubuntu1~intrepid1 [05:56] only thing i can get running is the recovery mode screen and the shell. [05:56] Well the file is inside my download folder, I go inside of the terminal and type chmod +x HoNClient-0.1.30.sh [05:56] on another comp went and got a new 8.04 iso checked it burnt it and brought up the liveCD on this comp and installed it all was good boot menu showed right stuff but fail again on boot just like after the upgrade. [05:56] so load up live cd again [05:56] Derk: radeon 3870x2 [05:56] Gobby, cd to the dir it's in or sh /path/to/file [05:56] i dont have any sound in ubuntu can someone help me? [05:56] ultraz: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=902860&highlight=Atheros+Communications+Inc.+AR242x+802.11abg&page=6 [05:56] gobby cd to your download folder first [05:56] Sorry I am quite a noob at linux, what do you mean cd to the directory?

[05:57] Gobby, cd = change directory [05:57] ultraz: Ethernet has never worked and has known issues. The Wifi used to work until recently [05:57] ultraz: deexannihilate's problem [05:57] And how would I go about doing that? [05:57] cd /directory [05:57] sam-ubu-noob: yes, load up the live cd. We need to check your partitions and their uuids, and maybe do a manual grub install... [05:57] skreech: what is the link that he is given me? [05:57] Gobby, where is your downloads dir? [05:57] can some one help this noob [05:57] ultraz: Sorry? I don't understand [05:57] me [05:58] skreech: deexannihilate is pasting some link too, which one should i look at? [05:58] I'm up now what you need [05:58] i want to know where is written that this update is?

I was on the net before the router so I know how to do it directly to the dsl modem. [05:59] ultraz: the link i posted is the tutorial i tried that I failed at [05:59] ultraz: which problem are you tackling? My link has both devices her link deals with the WiFi [05:59] ultraz: It's what was being followed when the wifi stopped working [06:00] sam-ubu-noob: please paste the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' to http://paste.ubuntu.com [06:01] hello. flash player is updated. it is not written in http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid-updates/multiverse/binary-i386/ . where is it written? [06:01] Hello all, i'm having problems connecting to a vpn server, and i was looking through the syslogs and found that there might be a bug in the pptp plugin for gnome's network manager, log can be found here: http://pastebin.com/d28882e50 ; can anyone help me resolve this issue? [06:01] @gman should be no difference, DHCP should take care of it and automatically detect [06:02] done [06:02] sam-ubu-noob: not quite done, you need to tell us the url that pastebin gave you so we can look at it... === ToyImp-AFK is now known as ToyImp [06:02] lol [06:03] How long should deleting a 1gb file inside a .tgz archive take?

[06:03] oops [06:03] skreech: it is 2gb [06:03] Jeremdow, I tried it on another flavor of linux and it did not work. Puppy linux. (very small, but not secure for daily use.) Could you give me the steps? or is there a post on what to do? [06:04] steps for what? [06:04] att0: two files? [06:04] sam-ubu-noob: ok, I can see that your linux device is /dev/sda2 and it looks normal i.e. no scsi problem. I don't see any swap partition. Did you decide not to add one? [06:04] deexannihilate: i assume your madwifi drivers are broken for your WiFi which have Atheros chipset. You should try reinstalling madwifi drivers. I am sorry but i cant open the linke you provided to me, my console browser (links2) probably cant open it. [06:04] kindofabuzz , just installed a router, and I need to know how to get on the net. [06:04] skreech: I made a backup of the whole Ubuntu install, but I accidentally included a Truecrypt volume that is 1gb in size. [06:05] @gman not sure on puppy - are you connected wired or wireless? [06:05] deexannihilate: what was that guide for? [06:05] gman, have you logged into the router yet? probably 192.168.1.1 [06:05] skreech: I am debating whether to kill the archiving process and make another backup w/o the Truecrypt volume, or just waiting. [06:05] hello. flash player is updated. it is not written in http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid-updates/multiverse/binary-i386/ . where is it written? [06:05] att0: I'd go with new archive [06:06] 192.168.0.1? [06:06] att0: it should take about the same time to create a new 1gb archive as it will to delete 1gb out of a 2gb archive, so I'd start over if I were you... [06:06] Wired, pppoe (or whatever) is in the router... I think Yes the router is set up, I am online right now with... Cough, cough, Windows.... I think I just spit up a little bit. [06:06] well I used UBCD to delete all the partitions again and make a unformatted one. the goal to see what happened when I tried to install from livecd with a partition of somekind defined rather than just empty space and see if worked out better [06:06] [06:06] skreech: I think it *just* finished, it says "reading archive" now [06:07] yup, it's done. Thanks for the help! [06:07] hello [06:07] see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adobe-flashplugin/10.0.32.18-1intrepid1/+changelog [06:07] sam-ubu-noob: how much ram is on the machine? [06:08] 512 [06:08] @gman wired at least you really should have no problems whatever distro you use, router or not, even puppy, dsl should recognize it [06:08] 1.5ghz amd [06:08] KIndaofabuzz yes router is set up do put in my user name and pass in ubuntu as usual? its already in the router. [06:08] geforce 6800 gt oc [06:08] can someone please help me [06:09] sam-ubu-noob: ok, then you need a swap file. Since it never booted, I assume there's nothing in the linux setup that needs saving. So you might as well reinstall from scratch one more time. [06:09] Real quick question - how do you install 64-bit Flash again? [06:09] yes it makes a swap [06:09] bobofosho_: question ? [06:09] Jeremdow, so your saying I should boot ubuntu and it ready to go? All I have to do is open a browser? [06:10] i'll do that and com back if the issue persist. I think it will so probably see you soon [06:10] sam-ubu-noob: good, that's what it's supposed to do. Just do a vanilla install... [06:10] *come [06:10] sam-ubu-noob: ok, I will be online for a while yet, see you in 20 minutes or so... [06:11] lol [06:11] l8r ty [06:11] skreech: thanks! [06:12] so ever since i've installed ubuntu 8.04 i've never had sound any ideas? [06:12] @gman yes should be no worries - try - if not, see if you can ping or login to the router from the browser at 192.168.1.1 - and then set that as you gateway in ubuntu - it really should just work though [06:12] Hello [06:12] Sarajevo: :-) [06:12] bobofosho_: you have no sound in 8.04 ? That's unusual. Usually sound problems happen in 9.04.... [06:13] Anyone would please suggest some virtual machine tools that will be working fine enough to run Solaris [06:13] I'm looking for girls who know how to use linux. I'm doing on some research and if you're a girl and you use linux well, msg me. [06:13] can anyone tell me what is going on here [06:13] │ [06:13] Hello all, i'm having problems connecting to a vpn server, and i was looking through the syslogs and found that there might be a bug in the pptp plugin for gnome's network manager, log can be found here: http://pastebin.com/d28882e50 ; can anyone help me resolve this issue?

[06:13] jeremdow, I pretty good with this stuff, but have not done networking. how do I set the gateway? and my router address is diff, but I know what it is. [06:13] ultraz: it was to fix the known wifi issues.. it goes in and out [06:13] sorry [06:13] !paste | steamdumplings [06:13] steamdumplings: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[06:14] ultrazL yesterday, i copied the madwifi driver from my desktop and tried to transfer it to the netbook [06:14] llml: VMware [06:14] I want to using UTF-8 in IRC, how can I using that? [06:14] ultraz: I don't remember the specific issue, but it was unsuccessful [06:14] ultraz: it's available in linux? [06:15] so my bad i'm on 9.04 and im having audio problems [06:15] llml: Yes, I've been using it for about 2 years now. [06:15] ultraz: thanks! [06:15] llml: and it is the best out there. [06:15] @gman you're connected in windows? - run ipconfig /all in cmd - and then you can see the gateway ip - in ubuntu you can right click on your network connection in the system tray and then input the new gateway if it doesn't autodetect it [06:15] In XChat-GNOME, is there a way to turn off the annoying join/part messages? [06:16] ultraz: awesome! [06:16] hey losher can u help me via pm [06:16] Jeremdow, Ok, thanks I got it. Have a good night. [06:17] @gman good deal, have fun [06:17] i have a GNOME desktop and i want to try KDE also.. how to install KDE what will i type in the terminal? [06:17] mataks: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [06:17] ssudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop [06:17] nanotube, ok thnx [06:17] mataks: np :) [06:17] mataks: i wouldnt recomend installing kde on ubuntu, you are better off using kubuntu. [06:18] btw, gnome is better =D [06:18] ultraz: yesterday, i copied the madwifi driver from my desktop and tried to transfer it to the netbook [06:18] ultraz: isn't kubuntu just like ubuntu, only with package "kubuntu-desktop" installed by default? [06:18] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adobe-flashplugin/ [06:18] i'm having problems connecting to a vpn server using the pptp plugin for gnome's network manager, log can be found here: http://pastebin.com/d28882e50 ; can anyone help me resolve this? [06:20] nanotube: it is more complicated then that, he would have at least to remove ubuntu-dekstop before installing kde. A lot of applications installed with ubuntu-desktop wont run on kde [06:20] ultraz: ehrm... which ones? [06:20] Before I go, Does anyone know of an interface/desktop theme that is designed for seniors or for beginner users? Or a distribution set up for the same purposes? [06:20] anyone installed ie8 under wine? [06:20] ultraz, not necessarily you can have both kde and gnome installed at the same time, you just cant run them both at the same time. [06:20] ultraz: there shouldn't be any conflict having both ubuntu- and kubuntu-desktop installed... [06:21] Peepsalot, I looked into it and It is not listed as a working program on the wine.org site. [06:21] Anyone with a solution for : In XChat-GNOME, is there a way to turn off the annoying join/part messages? [06:21] peeps, why would you want to? [06:23] voss: why would anyone? probably to test website compatibility and stuff.... [06:23] Voss, I hate this question. People always have a need. I have to run ie7 or ie8 for work for a specific application. people have needs. and when you try to move to linux, it sucks when you have to keep a windows system around. [06:23] ultraz, then what should i do then? i want the kde desktop.. what should i install? [06:23] peepsalot: if you want real ie8 for testing webpages, use vbox with windows. that will give you the best result for testing pages with ie8 [06:23] iceroot, yeah, i just don't have a windows license [06:23] mataks_: just install kubuntu-desktop, and that's all. you'll then have the option to choose whether to start up into gnome or kde at the login screen. [06:24] Bookman: http://xchat.org/faq/#q211 [06:24] peepsalot: also there a webpages which will make screenshots from websites with different users and send them to you [06:24] mataks_: install it... they might be right. [06:24] peepsalot: with different browsers i mean [06:24] iceroot, i need to debug javascript, so that won't really work [06:24] k i'll google it first [06:25] susurration: good find :) [06:25] Real quick question - how do you install 64-bit Flash? [06:25] thanks nanotube [06:25] i'm having problems connecting to a vpn server using the pptp plugin for gnome's network manager, log can be found here: http://pastebin.com/d28882e50 ; can anyone help me resolve this? [06:25] peepsalot: is javascript different in ie8 then in other browsers? [06:25] mataks_: np. :) googling is always a good idea :) [06:25] iceroot: as always, /everything/ is a little different in ie. :P [06:26] peepsalot: what about downloading windows 7 rc1 (free for costs) and use it in vbox? [06:26] * susurration sighs [06:26] ultraz: if I just reload remix, do you think it will fix the problem? [06:26] deexannihilate: reload remix? What is that :-) ? [06:27] susurration: sorry dude... doesn't seem like there's anyone around at the moment who knows about vpns... :| [06:27] whats vbox [06:27] !vbox | gman [06:27] gman: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [06:27] gman: you can run any os with vbox on your current system [06:28] gman: yea, vbox is pretty cool [06:28] nanotube, it seems that way, though to be honest i don't think its the vpn server... seems to be a flaw in the plugin... at least it states in the log that the plugin fails, three times no less [06:28] gman: this is my vbox http://alpha-unix.de/~iceroot/suse_ubuntu_vista.png [06:28] vbox rocks [06:29] Hi [06:30] susurration: did you try to mess with the settings in VPN client? [06:30] iceroot, that is cool. [06:30] ultraz: the version for netbook [06:30] ultraz, for things like protocol and encryption, yeah [06:30] susurration: those settings will depend on to which vpn server are you connecting and what kind of settings server has. [06:31] But why use Vbox when you can dual boot. [06:31] gman: yes, its very nice to test some linux-distributions, also virtualbox 3.0 can use 3d hardware, so you can play games with windows on ubuntu [06:31] gman: because you dont have to reboot [06:31] susurration: if you think it's the plugin, why not try connecting through the cli, using something like vpnc ? [06:31] gman: you can run ubuntu and windows at the same time, share files, share hardware and so on [06:31] nanotube, good call ;) [06:32] gman: like others said: because rebooting sucks :) === jackson_ is now known as jackson [06:32] susurration: heh thanks - hope that actually helps :) [06:32] nanotube: rebooting is a windows-problem and should not be a linux-problem :) [06:32] iceroot: indeed [06:32] gman: cause you can use both systems at the same time? [06:32] iceroot, there are times where ubuntu has you reboot [06:33] iceroot: once we can fix the "restart after a kernel upgrade" problem, then we'll really be set. [06:33] is anyone out there tried the karmic koala alpha release? [06:33] but i recall there was some talk at some point about "live" kernel upgrades coming to linux. so maybe, soon... [06:33] restarting after a kernel upgrade is a good idea anyway [06:33] so, can I set up my linux system to act like 5 seperate systems? that woudl be cool. [06:33] voss: yes, but ubuntu "sucks" at that point. you dont have to reboot really, but ubuntu tells you, normaly you just have to restart x or something, but ubuntu says reboot [06:33] gman: yes, you can. or more than 5 - just gotta have enough cpu and ram :) [06:34] anyone have osx running in a vbox? [06:34] gman: you can run on your linux 5 more systems. [06:34] cool [06:34] +---++-- [06:34] iceroot, many people dont have to upgrade their kernel until the next version of ubuntu [06:34] gman: you can run 1000 other linux-systems. just your hardware is the limit [06:34] voss: kernel-fix is also an upgrade [06:34] I think the idea that kernel has to be updated so often is kinda silly. [06:35] voss: or better, its a reason for reboot [06:35] voss: but with ksplice it should be possible not to reboot after a new kernel [06:36] Linux is sufficiently secure that most people could simply update their kernel when the next version comes out. [06:36] ultraz: if I completely reinstall linux, do you think it will solve the problem? [06:37] voss: i dont think so. sometimes there are root-exploits and so on [06:37] voss: so its a good idea to have a up-to-date system [06:37] Good night. [06:37] deexannihilate: well, if you had working system ... then i would say it would. [06:37] what is the ideal partition sizing for a ubuntu system? Boot, root, swap and home? [06:38] anybuntu what type of computer? [06:38] Anybuntu: that does not depend on OS but on your needs. [06:38] Anybuntu: one on hdd? [06:38] Anybuntu: 10g should be enough for a root partition... to be honest, i usually just stick everything onto one partition, though... [06:38] netbook 120gb [06:39] Anybuntu: you should put all on one partition. [06:39] I am new to the sizing. Coming from a windows os. [06:39] ultraz: is there anyway to fix it? [06:39] Anybuntu: yews, just choose that ubuntu will use the whole hdd [06:40] any, let ubuntu decide [06:40] deexannihilate: what problem are you trying to fix? [06:40] use the whole hard drive and let ubuntu decide what goes where [06:40] anybuntu, which brand of netbook? [06:40] deexannihilate: as i said, i cant help you now since i cant open that link with links2 ... i have no access to GUI right now. I cant help you until i see what you did. Maybe somebody else can help you. [06:41] ultraz: alright, thank you. [06:41] deexannihilate: np, good luck. [06:41] Okay cool. Thanks. I am converting over and try it out for a month and see how it goes. This is my primary machine I use. [06:42] Anybuntu: cool, good luck :) [06:42] mornin all [06:42] voss: msi wind [06:42] Anybuntu: then have fun with ubuntu and if you will have any problems, this is a good place to ask [06:42] thx iceroot. [06:42] like where would i find the smb.conf file [06:43] anybuntu, Id recommend ubuntu netbook remix btw [06:43] I have a dell mini 9 and it works great [06:43] mob: /etc/samba/smb.conf [06:43] mob: find / -name smb.conf [06:43] ty [06:43] hi, is there a way to look via terminal, if a n app is available via synaptic ?? [06:43] mob: /etc/samba/smb.conf [06:43] ultraz: it's faster to "locate smb.conf" :) [06:43] what if db is not up to date? :-) [06:43] qcjn: use "apt-cache search appname" [06:44] nanotube: only if you have installed it and run updatedb [06:44] qcjn, apt-cache search term [06:44] nanotube: thanks [06:44] http://www.lostworlds.lv/go.php?1139723800 [06:44] ultraz: it comes by default with ubuntu, though, doesn't it? has always been the case for me. [06:44] qcjn: np :) [06:44] I tried that one but found that the video lagged too much. I tried some tweaks I found on the net but made it worse. Went back to windows. [06:44] nanotube: locate? it does, but how ferquently update index? [06:45] ultraz: there's a cron job that updates the db like every day or two [06:45] nanotube: thats what i meant, if you install now samba, you wont be able to locate it. [06:45] ultraz: at any rate - smb.conf is a system file, it probably doesn't change location very much. [06:45] but you can find it. [06:45] ultraz: well yea, if you /just/ installed samba... but samba comes by default with ubuntu as well :P [06:45] yeah. it does not. [06:45] ultraz: installed by default? [06:46] ups ... [06:46] ultraz: yea, - i for one didn't explicitly install it... but it's here. [06:46] ultraz: (this is on intrepid) [06:46] I think it comes down to the damn intel graphics. [06:46] nanotube, its not default on desktop [06:46] didn't know that. [06:46] !info samba [06:46] samba (source: samba): SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix. In component main, is optional. Version 2:3.3.2-1ubuntu3.1 (jaunty), package size 4421 kB, installed size 12400 kB [06:46] HI, i a slave of windsucks! i want ubuntu on my pc..but i cant install ubuntu 7.04 HELP PLEASE! [06:47] Marielle, that is end of life, also no need for the silly names [06:47] bazhang: i'm running ubuntu intrepid desktop edition - and it's installed.... [06:47] I'm missing the top border in firefox. no max min and close buttons [06:47] nanotube, then you installed it [06:47] Marielle: Try 8.04 instead... [06:47] bazhang: could have been pulled in as some dependency... but i don't do any windows stuff at all, so i fail to see how that could have happened.... [06:47] sidney: just firefox? [06:47] Sorry about the name but its makesme go crazy [06:48] Marielle: try 9.04 [06:48] !flash [06:48] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [06:48] all windows i see now [06:48] Marielle, get 8.04 at the least [06:49] but its a "bcm43xx_microcode"...whats that [06:49] ultraz it looks like in all windows on two machins=es [06:49] hey i'm having trouble with battery life [06:50] I have a number of optimizations set in rc.local but it isn't running at boot [06:50] anybody have any idea how to fix that? [06:50] Anyone have a msi wind netbook? [06:50] still woth the flash-installer pulling in the 32bit slash for 64bit users? [06:50] -wee [06:50] Marielle: that's usually for your wifi card. made by broadcomm.... [06:50] Is it normal for 64-bit Jaunty to only see 3.7 gigs of ram out of my total 4? I know 32-bit only goes up to 3 [06:51] men, i wanted ro check if i can install php, cause i'm using a computer via ssh...but it s crazy, what come's up ! [06:51] Arora keeps asking for the flash installer to be installed, and I will not use the or install the 32bit flash when the 64bit flash works flawlessly [06:51] qcjn: what are you trying to install? And are you using apt? [06:51] sidney: try going to System > Preferences > Appearance click Themes tab, and Customize button, try changing window borders. [06:51] ndroftheline: make sure there's a link to /etc/init.d/rc.local in your /etc/rc2.d [06:52] qcjn: you are probably looking for package "php5" [06:52] ndroftheline: that's usually because a syntax error has stopped the script. Can you run it ok by hand? [06:52] harisund: i know how to use apt...i already have apache2 install. So now i d like to install php. Im Reading about it..and now i need to practice what i ve learned [06:52] losher: yes it runs by hAND [06:53] qcjn: do you see package "php5" ? [06:53] qcjn: try "apt-cache show php5" [06:53] nanotube: harisund and i m accessing this computer via ssh [06:53] nanotube: ok [06:54] nanotube: there is, i think...ls -l /etc/rc2.d results in an entry showing /etc/init.d/rc.local [06:54] hi! [06:54] hey anybody know how i can download all files from http://people.freedesktop.org/~marcheu/irclogs/, i would like to 'grep' them for keywords :) [06:54] ndroftheline: hrm, ok, then it /should/ run... what makes you think it is not running? [06:54] ndroftheline: you can add "echo 1 >> /tmp/log.txt" to verify it is being executed at bootup. Sprinkle these through the file (with different numbers) to see where execution stops... [06:54] hax0r1337: use "wget" [06:54] nanotube: then...? [06:55] qcjn: to install it, just run "sudo apt-get install php5" [06:55] ultraz: once i customize do i install or just close [06:55] nanotube: ok [06:55] How can you tell if your machine can run ubuntu 64bit? [06:55] nanotube: i have a series of optimizations like changing the dirty_writeback_centisecs to 1500 like powertop recommends [06:56] syntax: "uname -a" if it says i386, its 32bit, if it says x86_64, its 64bit [06:56] and adjusting laptop_mode, and scaling my frequency governor to powersave... [06:56] nanotube: and none of the settings are the way i have them in rc.local after I boot [06:56] syntax: look up the cpu in google and see if it's 64 bit capable... [06:56] nanotube: unless i run it manually [06:56] Marielle, you could get the torrent, or since your internet is very slow, you could contact a local user's group and see if they can help you out [06:56] ndroftheline: see my comment about on how to debug it... [06:56] losher: i will. do i add two >>'s or just 1? what'd the difference? [06:56] ndroftheline: try what losher recommended - put it some debug prints, and see if they show up. if they do, then it is running, but your settings just aren't taken effect... [06:57] ndroftheline: >> means "append" to file. [06:57] yep yep i'm on it already thank you guys a lot.. [06:57] ndroftheline: > means "write to file" (i.e., overwrite contents) [06:57] hello here [06:57] nanotube: it says it s going to have to take off apache2-mpm-worker (my computer is in french, so i translate) [06:57] nanotube: oh, that's helpful to know. cool. [06:57] Marielle, #ubuntu-mx is the ubuntu loco [06:57] someone here know were i can find the window 7 icons for ubuntu? [06:58] nanotube: that won't make problem with my apache2, that is already fonctionning well [06:58] ndroftheline: two ">>" will append to the log file. One ">" will overwrite the logfile. Either will work. You could even echo "at line 12" or some such... [06:58] OK tanks..because in torrent it says that the download will be 4 days [06:58] Marielle, I am in there right now, /join #ubuntu-mx [06:58] OK [06:59] qcjn: how about this: try installing "libapache2-mod-php5" === kevin_ is now known as uvacav [06:59] hi [06:59] ndroftheline: indeed. :) i suggest looking at the "advanced bash scripting guide" for more cli goodness. [06:59] nanotube: why ? [06:59] qcjn: i mean, instead of plain "php5", and see if that conflicts with your apache2-mpm [06:59] ok [07:00] nanotube: i effin love free software. [07:00] i'm going to reboot with the test file. brb [07:00] ndroftheline: :D [07:01] nanotube: thanks [07:01] hax0r1337: np :) [07:01] nanotube: hopefully server doesn't blacklist me [07:01] hax0r1337: hehe [07:02] 46.1MB of text, sounds good [07:03] Hi, How can I see my desktop from another Linux machine? [07:04] use vnc Keiffer [07:04] !vnc | Keiffer [07:04] Keiffer: 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 [07:04] Kartagis, thanks [07:04] np [07:04] good morning [07:05] why do you think my X would restart itself when I try watching a .mkv file? [07:05] ok, so my bootlog.txt popped out and the rc.local file is executing all the way [07:05] but the changes still aren't occurring. [07:06] was is los hir [07:07] * shadows090 jumps [07:07] for example, one line in my rc.local is: echo powersave > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor. immediately after boot, running cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor returns ondemand, the default. then if i sudo /etc/./rc.local and run the cat command again, it returns powersave... [07:07] can anyone recommend a good book or guide to help with learning ubuntu? [07:07] ndroftheline: well, that means that something else is overwriting your changes... though rc.local is like 99 in the order, so should be running almost last. strange. [07:08] and yet i'm still getting the 123456 numbers in my bootlog.txt [07:08] sau blöder chat [07:08] I think they have ubuntu for dummies [07:08] I've just googled all of my problems and tried to piece it together [07:08] hey guys, i have this Atom+ICH netbook that worked fine in 8.04 but in 9.04 spits a lot of random error messages citing X and MTRR's and freezes for a second or so everytime a message like that pops up!? anyone with the same problem here !/ [07:08] but I'm pretty darn new [07:08] thanks in advance. [07:08] ndroftheline: ah, maybe you should use sysctl.conf for that? [07:08] nanotube: what's that? [07:09] ndroftheline: for setting various stuff in /sys :) [07:09] ndroftheline: add something like cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor >> logfile to your rc.local to see if it takes effect.... [07:09] ndroftheline: /etc/sysctl.conf [07:09] cadu, did you upgrade from 8.04 to 9.04 directly? or did you upgrade to 8.10 first? [07:09] nanotube: yeah i found it using locate. [07:09] shadows090: fresh install. [07:09] nanotube: are there other special places for certain kinds of commands? [07:10] shadows090: a lot of people seem to have this problem lately with X/xgl stuff after intel's driver got updated and a load of breakage ocurred [07:10] ndroftheline: well, there are a bunch of .conf files in /etc. each one has a purpose :) [07:10] @nanotube .. ever think of cloning uselfe and being a 1 person help desk... lol [07:10] http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/ Anybuntu [07:10] hm.. when does it spit out messages? sorry, I probably can't help, I'm new, but i'll try to spit out an idea or two [07:10] mob: haha, i think about it a lot. :) unfortunately, the technology hasn't caught up with me yet :( [07:10] nanotube: i see. so if i wanted to set something in /proc...like /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs [07:10] nanotube: is there a special place for that? [07:11] ;] [07:11] Hey it worked. :-) [07:11] Im in on linux [07:11] ndroftheline: I'm late to the party, but if you need to set someting at boottime, you could look at /etc/rc.local for that [07:11] ndroftheline: also sysctl for that stuff [07:12] Ghoti: yeah that's what we're trying to fix...the commands are executing (i've verified by returning values to a text file during startup) but then they're overridden somehow [07:12] ndroftheline: I would've put them in /etc/rc.local. It's odd that the settings don't persist. You're going to have to do a bit more sleuthing, per my above msg... [07:12] Ghoti: thing is, he already tried rc.local, but that stuff isn't taking effect... [07:12] Hey, I just fired up system montior and it says I have 2 CPUs. but this system only has one. Whats up with that? bug? [07:12] mother faker [07:12] gman, What CPU do you have? [07:12] ndroftheline: you could try using rc.local to call a secondary script that starts with a 'sleep' command to wait until after whatever it is that's overriding has taken place [07:12] gman: do you have a hyperthreading cpu (a cheap trick by Intel to pretend one cpu was actually two)? [07:13] nutzer_, watch the language [07:13] Bazhang: thx. Looks interesting. This would be for those times when connection the net is not available. Just reference material. [07:13] ndroftheline: use & to have rc.local run it in the background [07:13] oh no. this taco bell is going to hurt coming out [07:13] ndroftheline: if sysctl.conf doesn't work, try losher's idea with some cat output, might be helpful as well. [07:13] nyaaaahh wer cani download songs?? [07:13] losher Yes, it is hyper-threading [07:13] jipsy, jamendo [07:13] hey are there any general rules in this room? I see language above...what can you get kicked for? I'm new to IRC [07:13] nanotube: losher : yeah i agree more sleuthing is required. once i get this working i'll put the commands in their appropriate places, even if just to learn which places are appropriate, but for now...i know that the rc.local works for changing /sys/* stuff because it works when i do so manually [07:13] shud i install that? [07:13] ahadiel, I don't know exactly, how can I find out other then pulling it out of the system [07:13] jipsy, its a website [07:13] wats jamendo? [07:13] ok [07:14] gman, cat /proc/cpuinfo [07:14] Ghoti: that's a neat idea. in fact i might just be impatient...i read somewhere that it can take up to 30 seconds for all the scripts and things to execute after boot...maybe i'm not giving it enough time to register the changes? [07:14] well ecxcept that doesn't make sense because my logfile was already present which means the cmmands already ran. [07:14] shadows090, http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ [07:14] thanks ahadiel, do I type this in the terminal? [07:14] bazhang: Thank you lots! [07:14] gman, yup [07:14] ndroftheline: that's possible.. I'll pastebin you a script that you could call with rc.local that will wait 45 seconds and then do what you need [07:14] what is the best way to make XAMPP and Ruby on Rails work together? [07:15] gman, You're looking for "model name" in the output [07:15] anyone using XAMPP and Ruby On Rails together? [07:15] i need some help. i was following a tutorial on how to set up a usb stick as a boot disk for a bootable distro one of the commands it told me to enter was mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n BT4 /dev/sdb1 problem is being half asleep i entered that command verbatim. well my usb stick was /dev/sdc and /dev/sdb was my windows hard drive... and now my windows partition wont boot... is there anyway to recover that partition? [07:15] ndroftheline: try sysctl.conf first, i'd say. i think that's the most "supported" way... === onchoe is now known as Putri [07:16] clepto, you have seen the pendrivelinux website? [07:16] nanotube: i'm going to check sysctl to see if its sending commands to overwrite my rc.local settings [07:16] !usb | clepto also this [07:16] clepto also this: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [07:16] can anyone help in installing ruby on rails on Ubuntu 9?? [07:16] ndroftheline: http://pastebin.com/fc545ad8 You can put that script wherever you need to and call it in rc.local with '/path/to/script.sh &' [07:16] ndroftheline: well good luck - i'm gonna get some sleep :) [07:16] bazhang: thanks but that has absolutly nothing to do with what i need help with [07:16] !ror [07:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about ror [07:16] !ruby [07:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about ruby [07:17] what is the web site that you can past in to the room without spamming? [07:17] clepto: what was on /dev/sda1 ? [07:17] clepto, you erased the windows partition? [07:17] I need help, I tried to archive my /var/www/ directory and now I think my files are all screwed [07:17] Ghoti: awesome thanks [07:17] gman, paste.ubuntu.com [07:17] bazhang: he just cant boot it. [07:17] ndroftheline: my pleasure! [07:17] thanks bazhang [07:17] !pastebin | gman [07:17] ultraz: as my message said my windows partition. i dont think i erased it [07:17] gman: 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 [07:17] clepto: you said your windows partition was on /dev/sdb [07:18] yes [07:18] command i entered was mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n BT4 /dev/sdb1 [07:18] I can't install Flash Player plugin to firefox, using 8.04 [07:18] is there a way to reverse that? [07:18] clepto: I think you *did* erase it. Essentially you reformatted it. I think it's probably unrecoverable & you'll have to reinstall from scratch. You could try testdisk, however.... [07:18] clepto: sorry, didnt read right. [07:18] why do you think my X would restart itself when I try watching a .mkv file? [07:18] clepto: you can recover it. [07:19] ultraz: whew how do i do that? [07:19] clepto: try looking here: http://en.kioskea.net/faq/sujet-729-recovering-lost-files#under-gnu-linux [07:19] Ahadiel losher [07:19] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo [07:19] processor : 0 [07:19] vendor_id : GenuineIntel [07:19] cpu family : 15 [07:19] gman: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:19] model : 3 [07:19] ultraz: dont use /dev/sdb partition, so you dont overwrite existing info. [07:19] ultraz: i tried putting my windows recovery disc in but it didnt recognize the partition [07:19] gman, not here [07:19] Is there any log for commands or sudo commands that have been run? [07:20] lf4: history [07:20] lf4: also, cat /var/log/auth.log | grep sudo [07:20] lf4: "cat ~/.bash_history | grep sudo" [07:20] clepto: you will have to find some partition recovery tools, the last time i used it it was about 3 years ago, and i recovered whole 40GB partition. I used one of the tools on hirenboot CD. [07:20] how do you remove gnome [07:20] Dont remember the name, but you can google it, i am sure there is a lot of them. [07:20] ok...so i have the sleep command in place. i'm going to restart and i'll brb. [07:20] sage_, you want kde only? xfce only? [07:20] kde [07:20] yes [07:21] Thanks llml Ghoti nanotube I'll check those out. [07:21] clepto: just dont use the hard disk you want to recover!!! [07:21] lf4: np :) [07:21] so there isnt a command i can enter from a linux bootable to reset the partition headers? [07:21] !purekde | sage_ [07:21] sage_: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » [07:21] lf4: anytime :) [07:21] clepto: yea, that's very important - don't write anything to the disk you want to recover. [07:21] yeah i dont plan on it [07:21] ultraz: i changed the visual effects and the border returned thanks for the help [07:22] sidney: np, anytime. [07:22] hello [07:22] !hi | huijian [07:22] huijian: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [07:23] losher: and i've also incorporated a sleuthy check to my logfile like you recommended. [07:23] restarting now...brb [07:24] I have just opened the XCHAT ,and I don't know it is [07:24] clepto: by all means attempt a recovery, but if vfat is anything like ext3, formatting writes all over the partition, not just the headers... [07:24] do the red lines in the IRC window mean anything? [07:24] shadows090, nothing of import [07:24] shadows090: which client are you using? [07:24] losher: k i thought that fdisk was a reformat... but mkfs is too then eh? [07:24] shadows090: they show where the conversation was when you left the window, so it's easier to catch up when you come back [07:25] thanks bazhang. lstarnes I'm using Xchat. And thanks Ghoti [07:25] shadows090: my pleasure [07:25] Can somebody with a freshly installed ubuntu system please check if they have a file /etc/profile? [07:26] clepto: for the official record- fdisk is the partition manager that creates and removes partitions. mk*fs are the tools used to format (i. e. place a filesystem) in the partitions that fdisk makes. [07:26] I'm wondering if I managed to mess things up by customizing said file [07:26] clepto: fdisk is a partitioner. mkfs Makes a File System. It's worth trying some recovery tools, but be prepared for the worst my friend... [07:26] Laibsch: I have an /etc/profile [07:26] I have an /etc/profile as well [07:27] Ghoti: thanks for checking. how recently installed? [07:27] a couple of months on this one [07:27] OK [07:27] ok now i'm like w t f mate [07:27] Laibsch: About 2 months ago? IIRC, /etc/profile is the default that gets copied to /home/$username/.profile when a new account is created [07:27] ndroftheline: some details would be nice... [07:27] I'm trying to find out some strange issues. For one, my ~/.bashrc isn't read when logging in on one of the VTs [07:27] so losher, your recommendation was useful - my logfile indicated that the rc.local command had an effect, and changed the desired setting to the desired level. [07:28] losher: haha yeah i was typing them [07:28] This may be a stupid question. Can you access this server on Mirc? [07:28] Ghoti: ~/.profile is copied from /etc/skel [07:28] losher: however, when i checked the setting AFTER the script had been run (including the 45 second delay from ghoti), it was back to default - ondemand! [07:28] shadows090: yes you can :) [07:28] shadows090: yes, as it's an irc server [07:28] shadows090, sure [07:28] ndroftheline: then something else must be running later to reset it. Isn't there some gnome applet for cpu frequency. That would explain it. Applets run when you login... [07:28] Ghoti: i'm not totally sure i did the sleep command right. [07:28] losher: well luckily there werent any really critical files on that drive... just sucks cuz ill have to reinstall everything :( [07:28] lstarnes: Ah, you're right. Damn this alzheimer's [07:28] shadows090: it's freenode, with an address of chat.freenode.net [07:28] thanks guys. [07:29] cool thanks [07:29] losher: is there a centralized place to find out what applets are running? [07:29] clepto: it might be worth trying testdisk http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk before you give up... [07:30] ndroftheline: did you just copy what I showed you into rc.local, or did you crate a second script which would be called by rc.local? [07:30] Ghoti: i created a second script [07:30] alright, first success (I removed ~/.bash_profile which got read instead of ~/.profile) [07:30] Ghoti: in fact i dont' think it worked because didn't you have some kind of notification message [07:30] still a few issues, though [07:30] ndroftheline: sorry, no idea. I avoid that desktop stuff like the plague. Try googling if no-one speaks up... [07:31] ndroftheline: did you chmod +x the script file? ;) [07:31] Ghoti: indeed i did, but good question [07:31] Whats the best program to play movies in ubuntu linux..in mplayer the frame rate skipz [07:31] Try running the script manually (with sudo) to make sure it works [07:31] -rwxr-xr-x 1 mroth mroth 135 2009-07-30 23:18 sleep [07:31] Ghoti: [07:31] syntax: you could try VLC [07:32] Ghoti: i kow it does work, i've been doing that every boot [07:32] Ghoti: i don't think that the sleep command is working. i'd like to try that. [07:32] does anybody know how to adjust cpu frequency scaling through the GUI? [07:32] you can try it at a prompt by just typing in 'sleep 5'; you should get a five second delay before the next prompt shows up [07:33] @syntax i tried a few and liked kafeine [07:33] yeah sleep is installed and works normally Ghoti [07:33] could you pastebin the contents of the script? [07:33] i'm not sure how to use pastebin [07:33] ndroftheline: I notice in http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/11/04/enabling-cpu-frequency-scaling/ it talks about the frequency being scaled automagically. Could that be what's happening? [07:34] So is this server mainly used for questions and help? Or just general chat for people in the ubuntu community? [07:34] shadows090, support here #ubuntu-offtopic for chat [07:34] shadows090: This channel is for support, #ubuntu-offtopic is for chatting. [07:34] shadows090: this server is actually part of freenode, which is a network dedicated to the free and open source software communities [07:34] hi, i'm having issues getting the mic to work in Skype, i've looked at my ALSA mixer and it seems ok [07:34] losher: the default setting as far as i can see is to set frequency_scaling to ondemand, which yes automatically adjusts the CPU's frequency to match loads. [07:34] shadows090: this particular room, or "channel", is for assistance. As above, the offtopic channel is for general kibitzing :) [07:34] losher: i want to override this behavior and always run the system at a lower frequency [07:35] losher: ok im gonna go give that program a shot... i put it on my bootable persistant backtrack usb lets hope it works ill be back in a bit to let ya know [07:35] losher: i get about 3h15m battery lif eon this netbook w/ winxp. max i've ever had with linux is under 2 hours. [07:35] losher: thanks [07:35] thanks all. I'll be exploring the off topic temporarily :) [07:35] losher: but in winxp i have it set to max batt [07:35] ndroftheline: hmmm, you could set up a cron job to just periodically force the setting to be what you want it to be [07:35] ndroftheline: did you say eariler that this isn't the only parameter that seems to get reset. Or is it just this one? [07:35] Ghoti: mneh thats true but its such a dirty fix [07:36] losher: really i've only been checking this once which is pretty myopic [07:36] Hello, I want to purchase a computer as a web server and install Ubuntu. What spec is recommended ? [07:36] ndroftheline: sometimes the dirtiest fixes are the most effective ;) that said, I'm surprised the rc.local / sleepscript didn't work [07:36] !requirements | Relaed [07:36] Relaed: Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu [07:37] hi i'm having problems getting my Skype working [07:37] Ghoti: http://pastebin.com/d10b11209 [07:37] that's the text of a file i have on my Desktop called sleep, which is executable: -rwxr-xr-x 1 mroth mroth 135 2009-07-30 23:18 sleep [07:38] ndroftheline: right. And in the rc.lcoal, you have a line that says: /home/mroth/Desktop/sleep & [07:38] right? [07:38] (the '&' is important) [07:39] Ghoti: no &. what does that do? [07:39] Ghoti: in fact i have /home/mroth/Desktop/./sleep [07:39] is that too explicit or just wasteful or what, ghoti? [07:39] the '&' puts the script into the background, so that the system can keep booting, (and incidentally klobber the setting in /proc) while the script is still 'sleep'ing [07:39] ndroftheline: I'm looking forward to hearing whether Ghoti's workaround does the trick... [07:40] the /./ does no harm :) [07:40] Hello, I want to purchase a computer as a web server and install Ubuntu. What spec is recommended for now ? [07:40] Ghoti: sorry i'm forgetting to put your name at the beginnign of a message and i add it to the end. makes my posts sound patronizing but i'm not trying to sound that way sorry [07:40] losher: i will find out presently. [07:40] no worries, ndroftheline :) [07:40] Ghoti: haha i will add the ampersand [07:41] Ghoti: do i need to change it to /sleep or can i leave it /./sleep [07:41] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements Relaed [07:41] Relaed, see the link above [07:41] ndroftheline: the /./ does no harm :) The upshot is that, 45 seconds *after* rc.local runs, the sleep script runs everything after its 'sleep' command [07:41] hi i'm having problems getting my Skype working [07:41] Ghoti: you mean, the ./ changes the functionality of the script? [07:42] ndroftheline: I would recommend actually using a name other than 'sleep', as you're using the same verb as the 'sleep' command. And no, '/path/to/foo' and /path/to/./foo' are identical in terms of functionality [07:42] hi [07:42] cant detect my sony ipod [07:42] Ghoti: i see. i will change it to bootsleep, is that ok? [07:42] pawan: what is a sony iPod? [07:43] ndroftheline: that'll do nicely :) [07:43] walkman mp3 player [07:43] Relaed: note that those are minimum requirements. If the web server is going to handle a particularly heavy load, you may want to scale up [07:43] walkman mp3 player =/ sony iPod [07:43] i'm trying it with the sleep workaround losher ghoti [07:43] ndroftheline: good luck! [07:43] why do you think my X would restart itself when I try watching a .mkv file? [07:44] hey.. im trying to preview a .php page i have saved on my desktop in firefox. When i locate it in firefox.. it just ask's me what i want to open it with. Anyonw know how ic an just view it in firefox? [07:44] Kartagis: sounds like you've found an X bug. Applications aren't even supposed to be able to crash the server.. [07:44] DougM: in Firefox, in the address bar, type file:///path/to/the/file.php [07:45] ipod 4gb sony [07:45] hi i'm having problems getting my Skype working [07:45] I'm failing to resolve mail.google.com however can resolve other domains, can someone help me diagnose the cause ? [07:45] sony has nothing to do with the ipod, and I wasn't aware of a 4GB model existing Dx === charitwo_ is now known as charitwo [07:45] Ghoti: when i do that.. a window comes up asking me what I want firefox to do with it. It has a dropdown with my HTML editor in it but i want to view the page [07:46] losher, should I file it on xorg.org or launchpad.net? [07:46] DougM: silly question, but are you sure it's a PHP file? [07:46] Ghoti: haha yeah [07:46] its index.php [07:46] losher: I am looking for a spec that can handle heavy loads [07:46] losher: is there anything to recommend ? [07:47] DougM: Interesting.. *thinking* [07:47] Kartagis: yes, that's what I would do... [07:47] hi i'm having problems getting my Skype working [07:47] Ghoti: im searching through the the Firefox pref's but cant see anythign relating to it [07:47] losher, xorg or launchpad? === papapep-afk is now known as papapep [07:48] DougM: Have you tried opening the file in an editor to make sure that it is actually a PHP file, and not just named like one? [07:48] Relaed: it's more of a hardware issue: disk speed, i/o system, cpu. I'm not really qualified to comment. Perhaps ask in #hardware ? [07:48] Relaed: Fast hard drives and lots of RAM are the key for a high-load server. [07:49] Ghoti: yeah im sure its a .php file.. im reading online and its saying that ill need ta runningApachie/PHP setup running otherwise it just views it as a text file [07:49] Ghoti: So CPU does not really matter ? [07:49] bummer [07:49] Kartagis: hmm. Good question. I'm not actually sure. Anyone? === onchoe is now known as Put_mutz [07:49] /part [07:49] Relaed: not as much as the RAM and hard drive speed, honestly [07:50] DougM: Aaaah, I think I know what's going on.. are you running a local web server that you're trying to use to parse the PHP file? [07:50] I'm asking in #xorg now [07:50] Basically if it is faster than 1ghz, the RAM matters more...unless you are doing things specifically CPU intensive. [07:50] the sleep command still isn't working...i dunno what i've done wrong [07:50] DougM: either way, you could copy it from a .php file to a .phps file, and that should open in FireFox [07:51] ndroftheline: So the file on your desktop is empty/not there? [07:51] Ghoti: ill try that.. i think ill just keep having to upload to my server everytime i make a change that i want to view [07:51] I can't seem to get dvdrip to convert to MPEG when it does do AVI can anyone help? [07:51] it exists but only with my echos from rc.local which losher told me to put in, so i could verify that the script was actually executing [07:51] it doesn't have the verification line from the sleep command. [07:51] hi i'm having problems getting my Skype working [07:51] lemme dig a little...get some more info. one sec. [07:52] ghoti: thanks for the help though [07:52] ndroftheline: could you pastebin your rc.local? [07:52] oooooooooooooooiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii [07:52] neil_d: dvdrip generates a log when it runs. Might start with that... [07:52] DougM: Sorry I couldn't be more helpful :( [07:53] Ghoti: no worries man [07:53] sweet losher your still here [07:53] losher: yes I am re-generating it now, to see if I can see what is wrong. [07:53] sam-ubu-noob: I was wondering what happened to you? [07:53] o [07:53] http://pastebin.com/m4df9f17e [07:53] losher: Ghoti theres my rc.local sorry its messy [07:53] losher: yea had some other obligations and some other issues [07:54] losher: [07:54] Hi, i'm having some issues with getting skype working [07:54] oh and i totally screwed something else up...i was trying to see if there was some gui applet that changed my settings back and i deleted gnome-settings from my startup list...so now everything looks funny. any idea how to fix that, losher or ghoti? [07:55] losher: It didn't like the unformatted partition so i had to delete it and went with the guided use all available free space option but with the same results. [07:55] beatbreaker: aight, like what issues? [07:55] ndroftheline: you changed the name of the script, but rc.local is still looking for a file called 'sleep'.. that might be part of the problem :) === Put_mutz is now known as put_mutz [07:55] well actually i forgot to change either name [07:55] ghoti [07:55] sam-ubu-noob: so when you try and boot, what happens exactly? [07:55] losher: dropped back to shell === put_mutz is now known as onchoem [07:55] ndroftheline: it's never the easy answer, is it? Silly idea- try moving the sleep script to the end? [07:56] sam-ubu-noob: you mentioned an error message last time...? [07:56] how do i background a command like sudo gedit textfile.txt? [07:56] ndroftheline: i've got it installed and i can hear sound but it's not sending any sounds out [07:56] [Ubuntu 9.04] '~$ aplay /usr/share/sounds/question.wav; Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/question.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Mono.' But the built-in loudspeakers do not vibrate. Neither when klicking GNOME > System > Preferences > Sound > Sound Preferences > Sounds > Sound Events > Sound Playback > Autodetect > Test. (But did so "earlier".) This error may have appeared after the recent dist-upgrade. HOw to proceed tr [07:56] ndroftheline: add a ' &' to the end of the command :) [07:56] losher: yea it goes like it's going to start sits at the ubuntu screen for a long time and drops to a screen with .... [07:57] it's long so give me a min to type it up [07:57] beatbreaker: its probably listening on the wrong device. get into skype's options and make sur eyou have your correct sound-in device selected. [07:57] Ghoti: doh [07:57] sam-ubu-noob: never mind. Boot up the live cd. I'm sure you're used to this by now :-) [07:57] ndroftheline: i've tried all the devices [07:57] ndroftheline: ? [07:57] ndroftheline: did you restart? [07:57] shadows090: yeah [07:58] thats how i'm here now [07:58] Hi there, I happened to watch the Revolution OS.It was awesome. I would like to watch more such videos.Does anyone want to recommend me some? [07:58] wow that was the first time pidgin's ever crashed on me. bummer. [07:58] fdisk -l thing again [07:58] ndroftheline: it won't be the last ;) [07:59] sam-ubu-noob: ok, run sudo fdisk -l again and paste the output. Got deja vu yet? [07:59] lol [07:59] does anybody know how to get my gnome-settings configuration back into the startup applications menu? [07:59] i just hit "remove" and it deleted it...sucks... [08:00] anyone know how to fix skype sound in problem? [08:00] ndroftheline: click 'add' and type it in? ;) === papapep is now known as papapep-afk [08:00] ndroftheline hmm, when I have a gnome problem I usually do "sudo apt-get install fluxbox" [08:00] Ghoti: won't putting sleep at the end of the rc.local file just have the computer sit there for 45 seconds before continuinng to "exit 0"? [08:00] repc: heh [08:01] repc: naughty... [08:01] repc: haha very funny but i'm using unr...which kinda depends on gnome i think, no? [08:01] ndroftheline: no, because you're running that script in the background; that's what the '&' is for :) [08:01] heh, he knew it was joke. Didn't you?? [08:01] losher: http://paste.ubuntu.com/238433/ [08:01] sorry, I'm in a boring lecture. I'll stop being OT and "funny" [08:02] repc: my early experiences with fluxbox were confusing so i haven't revisited it in a while. [08:02] Ghoti: hrm...doesn't the ampersand send the command that preceeds it to the background? [08:02] ndroftheline: it does, why? [08:02] ndroftheline I understand. The cool thing about fluxbox (and lots of other WMs) is that you can use all the gnome things too [08:02] ndroftheline: exactly [08:02] sam-ubu-noob: better. Your install is on sda5 and your swap is on sda6. Next step, run sudo blkid and paste the output [08:03] ndroftheline: to the script percolates in the background, rc.local finishes, your system finishes booting, and ~45 seconds later, the script that's in the background resumes [08:03] Ghoti: so if i have bootsleep & won't it just put bootsleep running in the background....? so then if its at the end of rc.local, it will issue all the commands in rc.local then just run sleep for 45 seconds before it hits exit 0? [08:03] 'to' --> 'so' [08:03] anyone know how to fix skype sound in problem? [08:03] Ghoti: right, so if its at the end of rc.local dosn't it just continue from where the entry is? [08:03] Ghoti: if its at the end then it'll just end after 45 sec, no? [08:04] i mean it'll just run "exit 0" after a 45 second wait...? [08:04] beatbreaker: how do you know your mic is working? [08:04] ndroftheline: ndrofthelineif the script is called as the last line, rc.local will end more or less immediately thereafter, and the system will move on to its next boot-time task, while the bootsleep script is still counting to 45 [08:04] ndroftheline: that make sense? [08:05] losher: http://paste.ubuntu.com/238443/ [08:05] anyone know how to fix skype sound in problem? [08:05] Ghoti: yeah i think so. so putting the call to bootsleep at the end of rc.local will not do what i want it to, right? [08:05] I am having trouble with dvdrip :( when generating a MPEG it hangs around a while on pass 1 but doesn't seems to generate the file for pass 2 I then get the error "**ERROR: [mplex] Unable to open file xxx.m2v for reading." [08:06] i've changed the name of the file now. maybe that was causing some problem. let me try to reboot again [08:06] sam-ubu-noob: not what I was expecting. What does sudo vol_id /dev/sda5 say? [08:06] ndroftheline: on the contrary, I think it will- the system will do whatever it does that's overriding your /proc setting, and then, 45 seconds *later*, you get to re-override it [08:06] i need help getting my wireless card to work. i installed the driver with ndisgtk, but i can't get the card to work still [08:06] Ghoti: but if after the 45 second wait all the thing does is terminate the script...how does it re-override? [08:07] losher: error opening volume [08:07] Does anyone know how do disable a display with ATI's CCC? [08:07] ndroftheline: well, you'd put the re-override into the script, after the 'sleep 45' command.. where the echo is now. [08:07] sam-ubu-noob: did you remember to use sudo ? [08:07] anyone know how to fix skype sound in problem? [08:07] losher: http://paste.ubuntu.com/238447/ this is the screen I'm dropped to. [08:07] im just new to kubuntu.. how to remove the favorites section in start menu.. . [08:08] ndroftheline: I'm sorry if I'm not explaining this clearly, it's well past my bedtime :) [08:08] yep [08:08] Ghoti: nah it snot your fault man you're being really patient and helpful, qualities which are relatively rare to find in a linux noob-help room. thanks. [08:08] i'm trying to make my script work to get thumbnailing on for flv files in xfce...anyone experience? [08:08] Ghoti: i may just have an incomplete understanding of how a scipt works. i'll have to look it up. [08:09] sam-ubu-noob: please try it again: sudo vol_id /dev/sda5 [08:09] i tried it thrice. :) [08:09] Ghoti: oh wait! [08:09] Does anyone know how do disable a display with ATI's CCC? [08:09] Ghoti: if i'm backgrounding bootsleep, doesn't the script move on to the next line while bootsleep is running? [08:09] anyone know how to fix skype sound in problem? [08:10] ndroftheline: exactly! [08:10] sam-ubu-noob: that's really strange. Can you run 'dmesg | egrep /dev/sda' and paste the output? [08:10] which means that while bootsleep is percolating in the background, rc.local is changing the settings...so then when bootsleep finishes its timer it re-calls rc.local from the line after bootsleep in the rc.local script? [08:11] [Ubuntu 9.04] '~$ aplay /usr/share/sounds/question.wav; Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/question.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Mono.' But the built-in loudspeakers do not vibrate. Neither when klicking GNOME > System > Preferences > Sound > Sound Preferences > Sounds > Sound Events > Sound Playback > Autodetect > Test. (But did so "earlier".) This error may have appeared after the recent dist-upgrade. HOw to proceed tr [08:11] is there anyone who can help me with my wireless driver issue? [08:11] Teclys: problably man give us some details [08:11] beatbreaker: how do you know your mic is working? sorry [08:11] ndroftheline: no, when 45 seonds is up, the bootsleep picks up from the next line in bootsleep; if rc.local has finished in the meantime, so much the better. [08:12] where do you put custom slash screens? [08:12] does not produce any output [08:12] i have an atheros card built in to my laptop, i installed the driver, and in the ndisgtk window it says 'hardware present: yes,' but when you open ndisgtk it says 'unable to see if hardware is present [08:13] any opinions here about using OpenDNS ? [08:13] sam-ubu-noob: now I'm really confused. fdisk sees /dev/sda and the partitions on it, but nothing else admits they exist. Is that a correct summary? [08:13] http://paste.ubuntu.com/238459/ did something [08:14] Ghoti: ok, i think that may be why this won't work...i think. so we're assuming there's some script somewhere that's running after rc.local that neutralizes the changes i have set up there. if we're allowing rc.local to run while bootsleep is counting down, then the "second script" can just run and neutralize the changes, and then rc.local isn't re-called. [08:14] Ghoti: i think i'd need to have sleep call rc.local after it finished counting to make it work. [08:14] sam-ubu-noob: ok, run again, this time, without the quotes front & back :-) [08:14] Ghoti: but of course that would create a loop [08:15] ProfOak: packages put them in /usr/lib/usplash/, so I'd put custom ones in /usr/local/lib/usplash/ [08:15] ndroftheline: how can i test it? i know it works in XP, and i checked the alsamixer but if you know any other ways to test it [08:15] Teclys: what ver of ubuntu u on? [08:15] geirha: don [08:15] same as when I said it did nothing. http://paste.ubuntu.com/238468/ [08:15] ndroftheline: rc.local only runs once, at boot-time. Here's the sequence of events I'm picturing: System start. rc.local is run, putting bootsleep into the background. rc.local finishes, system boot proceed. Default settings get stashed in /proc. System boot complete. Around 40 seconds later, the remainder of bootsleep runs. [08:16] geirha: I don't have a usplash folder [08:16] ndroftheline: does that clear things up any, or just make it murkier? :) [08:16] ProfOak: Create it [08:16] sam-ubu-noob: ok then, just run dmesg on it's own & paste... [08:17] man fealing like i should have just stuck with 7.10 [08:17] Ghoti: no its becoming clearer but i dont see how we're re-asserting the changes that rc.local makes after the default settings are stashed, since bootsleep just prints a confirmation message after 45 seconds. [08:17] dude is there any way to kill those "enter" and "exit" messages? they take up huge amounts of space. [08:17] ndroftheline: kubuntu 9.04 [08:17] ndroftheline, what client [08:17] sam-ubu-noob: I know how you feel. This *is* unusual, if that's any consolation... [08:18] ndroftheline: the idea was to put the changes *into* bootsleep, so that rc.lcoal just says to the system, "run bootsleep", and then the system boots, your settings get klobbered, and bootsleep subsequently sets them to what you want them to be [08:18] bazhang: pidgin [08:18] ndroftheline: we just didn't do that last part yet :) [08:18] Ghoti: loooollllllll i didn't know that at allll [08:18] Ghoti: i completely had the wrong idea here.... [08:18] Ghoti: so all wer'e doing now is trying to make sure that bootsleep is actually working, which we still don't know why it isn't...duh...sorry [08:18] umm that seems to produce more output than the terminal can hold. what do i do about that? [08:18] i'm on pidgin [08:19] ndroftheline: *now* we're on the same page ;) [08:19] Ghoti: seroiusly. ok. [08:19] ndroftheline: There is a plugin for that, "Join/Part hider". But Pidgin is an IM client, so its IRC support is very poor, and I would recommend using something else. [08:19] ProfOak: Then, the following should set it: sudo update-alternatives --set ubuntu-artwork.so /usr/local/lib/usplash/your_theme.so && sudo update-initramfs -u [08:20] sam-ubu-noob: easiest thing is to run sudo apt-get install pastebinit and then run dmesg | pastebinit [08:20] grawity: ok what's a good ligthweight irc client [08:20] ndroftheline: I really hate to bail on you at this point, but I'm dead on my feet over here, but I'll be here during the day tomorrow from work [08:20] Ghoti: hey man dont' worry i have some idea of the bigger picture now [08:20] how would one enable/disable something like openssh at startup? [08:20] ndroftheline: glad to have helped! [08:20] Ghoti: go get some sleep. you've done great service to linux today, helping a noob [08:20] ndroftheline: I'm glad to be of service :) Good luck! [08:20] soloslinger: usually you install it once and it runs in the background always... [08:21] beatbreaker: so you've tried the "test call" with all of the options on the audio-out portion? [08:21] geirha: No alternatives for ubuntu-artwork.so. [08:21] is there a way to send it to open office or some other editor with more room similarly [08:21] losher: so, sudo apt-get install openssh would do it [08:22] soloslinger: on my version its sudo apt-get install openssh-server [08:22] sam-ubu-noob: dmesg | pastebinit will send it to paste and give you a url... [08:22] ndroftheline: yeah, i can hear the test call but it wont record the test call [08:23] beatbreaker: under volume control, is the mic muted? [08:23] losher: thanks for your help [08:23] beatbreaker: what are your options for the audio-in setting? [08:23] ProfOak: That's odd. You don't have a usplash theme already? [08:23] soloslinger: good luck... [08:23] remember i'm on livecd. http://paste.ubuntu.com/238486/ [08:24] geirha: Guess not [08:24] Teclys: hey man are you getting help with that wireless issue? [08:24] ndroftheline: nope. not yet [08:25] evening everyone [08:25] geirha: It's fine, splash screens aren't necessary at all [08:25] Teclys: ok well i dont' use kubuntu so i'm not familiar with the gui tools...but if you go to a terminal and type "sudo iwlist scanning" what does it return? [08:25] there has to be a way to pause the terminal output so i can paste each page of it. [08:25] like dir /p or whatever [08:25] ProfOak: aptitude search '~i usplash' [08:25] lol [08:26] sam-ubu-noob: type | more after he command [08:26] sam-ubu-noob: command | less [08:26] sam-ubu-noob: you can pipe it through more e.g. dmsg | more [08:26] sam-ubu-noob: haha less is more, in fact [08:26] sam-ubu-noob: Or better, command | curl -F "sprunge=<-" sprunge.us [08:26] whats the protocol for copy/pasting in here/ [08:26] grawity: lol what's sprunge [08:26] use pastebin.com [08:26] ndroftheline: awesomest pastebin ever. [08:26] sam-ubu-noob: but it's a lot of output. We'll both be old by the time you finish... [08:26] Teclys: in fact use sprunge.us, i guess [08:26] let me try just sec [08:27] got a question about installing firefox 3.5 on 9.10 [08:27] grawity: rulleh?!?! interested... [08:27] drewz7046: Karmic support is in #ubuntu+1 [08:27] Teclys: If it's a line or two, pasting directly is okay. If it's longer, you should post the entire thing to a pastebin. [08:27] Teclys: no use pastebin, yeah use pastebin [08:27] its longer, ill try the pastebin thing haha [08:27] ok thx [08:27] grawity: so wait...ubuntu has a pastebin built in?!? [08:27] ndroftheline: what do you mean? [08:28] you just pipe output to a command and it comes out on a sprunge pastebinthing? [08:28] ndroftheline: Not built in, it's something you have to install. But yeah. [08:28] ndroftheline: 'curl' is a pretty much standard tool for making HTTP requests. [08:28] what does curl do [08:28] ah [08:28] there ya go [08:28] i guess i coulda rtfm (; [08:29] http://pastebin.com/mdc5ff10 [08:30] jesus I see what you mean more only moves ahead one line at a time when you hit enter. [08:30] sam-ubu-noob: you could try: sudo apt-get install curl; dmesg | curl -F "sprunge=<-" sprunge.us [08:30] sam-ubu-noob: hit space and more will move a page at a time [08:31] also, im trying to rename the file ndiswrapper in my modprobe to ndiswrapper.conf, but it won;t let me [08:31] Teclys: ok so your system doesn't think the wireless card is present or on [08:31] i tried chown but i think im doing it wrong [08:31] Teclys: do you have to use ndiswrapper? [08:32] Teclys: didn't you say broadcom? [08:32] ndroftheline: i already did use it. no it was atheros. [08:33] Teclys: are you sure you are not trtying to rename a module? [08:33] sam-ubu-noob: I'm dying here, it's 12:30 am. We may have to pick this up again tomorrow... [08:33] Teclys: did yhou get my two messags? [08:33] losher: dying? [08:33] indus, i was trying to modprobe ndiswrapper, but it said it needed to be in .conf format [08:34] Teclys: show us the output === hrfg is now known as SuPeRhAm [08:34] indus: no literally. just tired...
