[00:06] tsocks [00:07] i install monitorix but not work [00:07] it has no graphics [00:07] joaopinto: because I have mysql services that can only be accessed through socks proxies [00:07] dementor, what is monitorix ? There is no such package [00:08] shingen, so you don't want to start tsocks before apache, tscoks is applied to a command, you want to run apache WITH tsocks [00:08] (reposted) I'm having difficulty with an intermittent hard crash in Ubuntu-9.04 AMD64 when attempting large file operations like backing up to a portable drive (every few minutes), or very intermittently (once or twice weekly) with regular use.

[00:51] th0r, the main reason is that I add and delete files regularly and care about a current snapshot more than whether my files are erased [00:51] Xorg -configure .....Fatal server error: Server is already active for display 0 [00:51] Quantix: any external hdd should work with Ubuntu [00:52] thats why i want out of xserver [00:52] MidasManchu: yeah, but you can write a script easy enough that would tar and gzip the files you are interested in, and mark the tar.gz with the time and date in the filename [00:52] FloridaGuy: did you kill GDM? [00:52] ShadoowAp3x: Really? Because ive already had compatibility issues with an mp3 player, and a router. So i want to make sure it doesn't happen again. [00:52] antonio__, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg will re-detect but not recover. this command could get you back in the GUI though. [00:52] Quantix: filesystems get kinda interesting tho. [00:52] FloridaGuy: kill the gdm [00:52] I have a lvm question, I have three hard disks one with / and swap on non-lvm partitions, and the remainder of that drive plus the other two need to be ext4 with a mount point of /home, I have the physical partitions created with lvmbuntu as the volume group, but I am not sure how to make them ext4 with a mount point of /home [00:52] FloridaGuy: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [00:52] with recent (yesterday or so) adobe flash update, how do you find fullscreen video on youtube (on x64)? has it improved? [00:52] What about an external hardrive that is just a harddrive with an enclosure? [00:53] ok, will try [00:53] th0r, I suppose it's worth a shot. Thanks [00:53] Quantix: that'll work [00:53] Quantix: Ubuntu should be able to read any fs that Windows can [00:53] ShadowAp3x, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop...to restart it...would it be gdm start [00:53] Quantix: only ones you have to worry about are proprietary ones that need software to access (such as mp3 players) [00:53] ShadowAp3x: and with ntfs-3g it can even write them all [00:53] MidasManchu: you want it compressed, right? you can run the script in cron and have it backup every five minutes if you like === solexious_ is now known as solexious [00:54] FloridaGuy: exactly. if you type the argument wrong, it should list possible options [00:54] ShadowAp3x: Oh okay got it. So an external hard drive that is plug and play in windows should be fine in Ubuntu? [00:54] th0r, yeah, I think that's what I'll do. [00:54] FloridaGuy: to start it, yeah, you would add start instead of stop [00:54] Quantix: i use external ntfs disks all the time. [00:54] Why my screen remain dark after suspension? [00:54] Quantix, yes [00:54] Quantix: yeah [00:54] MidasManchu: consider using bzip instead of gzip...much tighter compression, tar.bz files [00:54] Thanks! Just making sure i don't buy something that isn't compatible... [00:54] Again! [00:55] MidasManchu: or is that tar.bz2? [00:55] th0r, I might just use 7zip and get the max compression [00:55] i need to get some old python2.4 packages, is there any repository i can use? (arch amd64) [00:55] Oh and another thing....since my router is incompatible im going to buy a new one, any suggestions? [00:55] Quantix: out of curiousity what did you buy that didn't work? [00:55] If I make a new pc with 3 nvidia cards with dual dvi outputs, can ubuntu handle all 6 screens? not with dual view? [00:55] Quantix: you might also want to avoid external HDDs that claim encryption as a feature... a lot of cheap USB HDDs require special windows-only software to access them. It should be possible to make them work, but it's unnecessary trouble. Also, you may find the backup buttons don't work [00:55] rubyist: have you tried PPAs? [00:55] I can't bright up the screen and the screen is pitch black. [00:55] th0r, I might actually even skip rsync and just scp the files over [00:56] janisoza1r: PPA's? [00:56] !ppa | rubyist [00:56] rubyist: With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [00:56] solexious: should be able to. there may be some issues.. but Twinview is very well done. [00:56] Someone said that my there's something wrong with my BIOs that Linux had trouble with [00:56] Help , I am looking to recruit a advanced Ubuntu User to Setup a Secure Server to host Voice n Streaming Server. Please only experienced n serious inquiries [00:56] A Netgear wpn824 V3 router. Stupid peice of shit only works with windows computers. Can't make it work with wii, zune, iphone, or linux laptops. Searched through forums, tried many different settings. Theres no hope. [00:56] so it is sda1 = /, sda2 = swap sda3,4,5 are extended logical sda6 =/home (and one part of lvm)(lvmbuntu is volume group), sdc5 =lvm(lvmbuntu) and sdb =lvm (lvmbuntu) but now I need filesystems on the lvmbuntu group that is ext4 [00:56] rubyist: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas [00:56] MidasManchu: oh...I thought the files resided on the same server with the backup. But still, you could script the whole operation [00:56] Also a samsung p2...but i got that working. [00:56] how do I temporarily change my primary group? Like sudo but for groups. I don't wanna lose my environment using newgrp : / [00:56] Quantix: umm it has ethernet right? [00:56] Quantix: any regular old USB HDD will work, as they present themselves to the operating system as mass storage devices. [00:57] Dr_Willis, does twinview allow each screen to have its own compiz cube? [00:57] I have an unknown file type and I need help opening it please [00:57] solexious, yes [00:57] janisoza1r: damn.. not there :( [00:57] try the command "file" [00:58] michael: file nameoffilehere [00:58] solexious: never noticed.. i find the cube totally useless. [00:58] see if that yields and results [00:58] solexious: proberly one of the most useless things ive seen in compiz :) [00:58] michael: what is the filename [00:58] Can Some please tell where i can find a experienced Ubuntu User that I can recruit to setup a server. Or at least documentation on how to [00:58] th0r, they are, however rsync would try to re sync the files again correct? if they're compressed, rsync will see them as not there and try again? [00:58] gave x86 boot sector guys [00:58] janisoza1r: any other ideas [00:58] Dr_Willis, heh, well if not the cube specificity then desktops? [00:58] so would it be mkfs ext4 /dev/lvmbuntu /home? [00:59] rubyist: compile from source [00:59] Got to go sorry guys. [00:59] later everyone! [00:59] janisoza1r: alright [00:59] Hello, does anyone know how to colorize [ OK ] during boot, like in other distros ? [00:59] MidasManchu: yeah....I don't think you want rsync unless you are happy with just one backup...then rsync would see a newer version of the file and sync it [00:59] rubyist: use checkinstall [00:59] solexious: you need to clarify exactly what you are trying to do.. I use 2 monitors (1 video card) all the time. I have Twinview set up so i have one 'wide' desktop spanning both. [00:59] hey [00:59] who is good at this in home security for ubuntu linux 9.04.so i can get a person to help me out . [00:59] why my screen turned dark after suspension? [00:59] that's a secret [01:00] you didn't accidently press the windows key and m did you? [01:00] \ [01:00] michael: what happens then? [01:00] Dr_Willis, if you maxamise a window, does it stay on one screen, or span both? [01:00] i want to be safe from anybody trying to hack/crack my os [01:01] solexious: it fullscreens to the monitor it is on in most cases.. some very badly written apps can get confused and try both. [01:01] Guest74437: disconnect from the internet [01:01] no [01:01] @janisoza1r: lmao [01:01] it gave me: file DC3DFC09.001 [01:01] Guest74437, yes, and I gave you links to deal with that; please stop repeating [01:01] Guest37787, create a strong password for your user account and do not enable root.. you are safe. [01:01] DC3DFC09.001: x86 boot sector; partition 1: ID=0x6, active, starthead 1, startsector 63, 433692 sectors; partition 2: ID=0xf, starthead 0, startsector 433755, 19567170 sectors [01:01] solexious: i have the video player fullscreened on monitor #2 most of the time.. and normal desktp on #1 [01:01] has ubuntu fixed their flash problems since 8.10? [01:01] Guest74437: then consider yourself unsafe [01:01] i want to look to see if i am being crak [01:01] anyone [01:01] bastidrazor: maybe [01:01] Guest74437, please stop repeating [01:01] Dr_Willis, ok, that sounds what i need, thanks [01:01] Guest74437: what even makes you think you are under 'attack' [01:01] no lvm heads in here? [01:02] it is safe than sorry [01:02] solexious: start with 2. work your way up. [01:02] ikonia: Whats up :) [01:02] Guest74437: so you are just being paranoid - You have no real indication that anything is wrong? [01:02] run a firewall and it will show you all your connections, and password your root account and you should be fine Guest [01:02] no i am not [01:02] Guest74437: being paranoid is a vaulable survival instinct.. however you need to understand the risks and their probabilities. [01:02] Guest74437: Firestarter is a good firewall [01:03] Dr_Willis, yep, starting with 2, its a triple sli motherboard so im just thinking of the future ;) [01:03] * Dr_Willis finds often things 'new users' try to do to make things more secure.. actually have the opposite effect. [01:03] don't password your root account if you wnat to be secure [01:03] That's what I used on the last distro is Firestarter worked great [01:03] solexious: you must have a large desk.. and i HOPE you got a big powersupply [01:03] create an additional account without sudo access... and use this for day to day activities [01:03] well i have read what yall have sent to me but i need to have a person to help me out [01:03] firestarters gui sucks [01:03] solexious: i can imagine the fan noise from 3 video cards. [01:04] i dont want a outher kiven mittnick trying to hack my os [01:04] Guest74437: help you out what what specifically? 'how to lock down a ubuntu box?' or somthing more specific? [01:04] Guest74437: dont run any services you dont need (thats the normal default) and you are fairly safe. [01:04] Guest74437: keep up to date on updates also. [01:04] Guest74437: Hm, try to install LIDS [01:04] !info LIDS [01:04] Package LIDS does not exist in jaunty [01:05] Dr_Willis, ive got my server rack in the study so more noise wont bother me much :) and im getting a 850w "quad sli" powersupply, and its going to be pxe boot, so no hd power/noise [01:05] Guest74437, reading the documentation first; then ask detailed questions. [01:06] well i have read but i dont know what i am doing === coleys__ is now known as rawr [01:06] Guest74437: then i would say leave the defaults alone. You are proberlya s safe as you are going to get. [01:06] Guest74437: how can you be sure that you're safe then? [01:06] i need it to look for ports and more that that [01:06] i need some help configuring my monitor [01:06] ok let me try this in lamens terms, i am looking to pay someone to setup a ubuntu server for voice n video streaming, anyone interested get back to me [01:06] * solexious watches paint dry, aka, cat /proc/mdstat [01:06] what is the best IDE for the begeaning programer [01:06] When running firefox in gdb, I get the output posted at http://paste.ubuntu.com/240344/. Firefox crashes and spits out a Segmentation Fault message. [01:06] Guest74437: Install Selinux [01:06] what is it [01:07] i could use help, am having problems with installing nvidia drivers [01:07] Guest74437: if theres no services running.. then you got no ports that are 'open' try some of the port scannign web sites to check. [01:07] Kveldulf: what exactly? [01:07] check shields up for a great port scanner [01:07] Guest74437: Security Enhanced Linux [01:07] ChrisR: does it need to be onsite if so a rough location would be helpful [01:07] No remote access only [01:07] SELinux - for the truely paranoid. :) its amazing in ways.. and truely annoying in many others. heh. [01:08] Guest74437: its for advanced users [01:08] what i need is something that will let me know if i am being hack into [01:08] i've got a widescreen samsung monitor (1440x900) but that resolution isn't available in the display prefs [01:08] ChrisR: What kind of voice and video streaming specifically? [01:08] and from where it is comeing from [01:08] Firestarter Firewall Guest74437 n Peerguardian2 [01:08] Dr_Willis: I'm using selinux for a job currently. [01:08] hello i need help [01:08] Guest74437: Normaly thats not possible. If theres no servies installed.. theres no way to get in. Unless you do somthing to let them in. [01:09] Guest74437: you are thinking linux is like 'windows' - Its not. :) [01:09] ShadowAp3x, Need to setup Ventrillo , Teamspeak, Skype FME & Skype & Thunderbird and basic secuirty protocols [01:09] ChrisR: is the design right. [01:09] only ubuntu tries to be like windows <: [01:09] Dr_Willis: Is there any way to get in other than tcp/udp? [01:09] this will be a fresh install of recommendation, I have 8.10 n then newest on cde [01:09] ChrisR: All server components? [01:09] Guest74437: how about kfsmd? [01:09] but even hacker can hack into a linux os.I have read it [01:09] richardcavell: someone sneaking in to the house? :) [01:09] Dr_Willis: yeah [01:09] FTP isn't neccesary [01:10] anyone know why the correct resolution wouldn't be listed in prefs? [01:10] Just needs to have the apps i mentioned and security inplace [01:10] 8.04 [01:10] Guest74437: the hacker hacks in using some exploit of a service normally, or kernel exploit.. if theres no services.. theres no door to get in. [01:10] Guest74437: if someone with enough resources want's in you're screwed [01:10] Guest74437: this is true of all security [01:10] Guest74437: you as a 'uneducated user' are proberly more dangerous to the working of your system then any hackers finding your ip at random. [01:11] so yes anything can be hack [01:11] !setinfo Guest74437: you as a 'uneducated user' are proberly more dangerous to the working of your system then any hackers finding your ip at random. [01:11] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:11] ChrisR: What kind of security are you looking for in particular? [01:11] Guest74437: If you are a definite target.. in that you have resources worth protecting.. measures should be taken... [01:11] Guest74437: : on the pwn 2 own no one hacked laptop with ubuntu [01:11] anyone here that can help me with my monitor configuration? [01:11] maybe the prize wasn't wort it, but it doesn't change the fact ;f [01:12] ChrisR: Is the server these applications are hosted on at a private location behind a firewall? [01:12] however... the cost of taking those measures needs to be weighed against the potential loss and probability of being attacked [01:12] Guest74437: then with that logic - nothing you do will matter.. [01:12] DaZ: were there any services running on that laptop? [01:12] Basic security and protect root account with dependable firewall, and yes it's behind a cisco router [01:12] anyone here can help me [01:12] hey guys :P [01:12] DiViN3: with what? [01:12] !details | DiViN3 [01:12] DiViN3: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [01:12] richardcavell: default i think [01:12] that is why i am asking if yall know what program will test out any and all thing that can be hack into [01:12] sebsebseb : i am having a error msg in my server [01:12] DaZ: so no services running [01:13] ChrisR: Are you unable to set up these applications yourself? [01:13] It's been so long since i've compiled packages bit rusty [01:13] * richardcavell has completed Half-Life and is now installing Half-Life: Blue Shift [01:13] what services do you have in mind? <: [01:13] Guest74437: if a "hacker" as you keep refering to them.. actually wants in to your system.. it's all over.. the general strategy.. is to reduce your attack profile (don't provide services to the outside world.) [01:13] Guest74437: use a port scanner web site.. see if anything turns up. [01:14] Guest74437: the proper term is cracker the media have it wrong, the bad guys are also known as blackhats, the security reashers are known as whitehats [01:14] are there any services installed by default on a ubuntu system? Ive never really checked. [01:14] Dr_Willis: I have ping enabled and nothing else. Is it such a bad thing to have ping running? [01:14] Is 9.04 more user friendly to do these things myself? [01:14] sebsebseb : i have sent u a pm of the error [01:14] richardcavell: i doubt if its an issue. [01:14] ChrisR: as long as you've got all the dependancies, it should be fairly straight forward [01:14] Guest74437: a hacker could be for example an open source program, hack the code for a program, as in edit it [01:14] Ping the world... make it a better place... [01:14] anyway, you're watching too much tv [01:14] ChrisR: yeah [01:14] Guest74437: and to make your system hard enough to get into that there are many easier targets and the cracker keeps looking [01:14] ChrisR: Just sudo apt-get install build-essential [01:14] DiViN3: I am not the person to help you with that [01:14] Dr_Willis: default install of Ubuntu has 0 services running on TCP/UDP [01:14] ChrisR: That should give you everything you need to compile applications [01:14] Dr_Willis: no, by default there isn't anything running on the ports, except of course icmp [01:14] will i want to become a whitehat hacker [01:14] for you and for me and the entire human race [01:14] richardcavell: i had ssh setup once to the outside world so my brother could ssh in.. the 'logwatch' program showed about 100,000 password attempts over 3 days. [01:15] hello, anyone? [01:15] I will install n check it out n get back to you [01:15] Guest74437: find 5k and do the ethical hacking course [01:15] Thank you [01:15] Dr_Willis: how about trying different port? [01:15] np [01:15] richardcavell: yea. thats what i was thinking 0. but i always set up samba and cups and ssh [01:15] Dr_Willis: I moved ssh off port 22 and those hack attempts dropped to zero [01:15] hi, any idea how to install a cli (aka desktopless, just the command line) ubuntu via WUBI? [01:15] can that be free [01:15] sebsebseb : ok atleast can you help me with a thing , which is my server doesnt seem to reboot withthe command reboot & shutdown -r now [01:15] Guest74437: but beware it's actually pretty boring [01:15] Dr_Willis: I set up ssh for about 24 hours so a guy here and I could experiment with it. I had 3 failed login attempts from random IPs [01:15] DaZ: that dident really lower it much. Once they saw a port.. they tried.. [01:15] could some one tell me how to get my sound working...i updated last night and since my sound hasn't worked....i am getting a hissing noise though [01:15] Guest74437: professional course pro rates. [01:16] Dr_Willis: port knocking, banning after few attempts [01:16] changing the port is sort of like hiding your key under the flowerpot.. instead of the door mat. :P [01:16] Firefox is receiving a SIGPIPE signal randomly during use. It causes it to freeze when running it with gdb, and it crashes when running it from terminal, leaving behind a Segmentation Fault message. I've posted the output from gdb here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/240344/ [01:16] chanibal, alternative install cd i think or server edition [01:16] there are hundreds of solutions. [01:16] DiViN3: nope [01:16] DaZ: yep. I just needed it on for a day or 2.. so now its off. :) i did find some neat info in the logwatch program [01:16] DaZ: did anyone ever implement port knocking? I found it an interesting idea, but couldn't find any implementations [01:16] !info logwatch [01:16] logwatch (source: logwatch): log analyser with nice output written in Perl.

[01:17] DasEi: yes it shows and everything that needs to be unmuted is [01:17] Dr_Willis: I use firestarter because it gives me a log of recent activity and active connections. Is logwatch similar? [01:17] th0r: yes [01:17] well can you plese give me a site that i can read and do my self on witehat hacking for free i am some what self learning [01:17] WillieDaPimp: check you syslog [01:17] richardcavell: lotwatch reads all your logs over the past few days and summariezes wht it finds in a nice output. [01:18] richardcavell: its fairly nifty. worth trying out if you are into that sort of info. [01:18] Dr_Willis: but it doesn't do it in real time? [01:18] DasEi: im not sure how [01:18] I want a program that shows me from one moment to the next what TCP connections are active and who owns them [01:18] FireStarter does this, though it's not being actively maintained any more [01:18] richardcavell: no - its a log analizer [01:18] WillieDaPimp:sudo apt-get install pastebinit [01:19] DasEi : can you help me out plz [01:19] richardcavell: it more of a 'email you once a day the log summary to look for anything weird' sort of program [01:19] WillieDaPimp:pastebinit /etc/var/syslog && gedit /var/log/syslog [01:19] paste* [01:19] ok some of yall or teling me that a linux os cannot be crack/hack [01:19] richardcavell: it even shows me how many times i used sudo, and apt-get :) [01:19] DiViN3: sudo shutdown -r now [01:19] Well what software can I get that will do the job of Firestarter in telling me which connections are active and which ports they are on and so on [01:20] DiViN3:or sudo reboot [01:20] http://www.wired.com/politics/onlinerights/news/2007/08/wiki_tracker [01:20] DasEi : i tried but its not working [01:20] richardcavell, ntop might help you there [01:20] Hi. I'm looking to do a dual boot of Ubuntu(Jaunty) and gOS. Is there anyways to switch between the two OS's without completely restarting my computer? I just want something quicker. [01:20] DiViN3, sudo shutdown -r [01:20] DiViN3:what message do you get ? [01:21] takamarou: if just testing out one.. why not just test it in virtualbox. [01:21] DasEi : i have pm you the details [01:21] need some help please. I am trying to clone an existing desktop setup and move it to new hardware. I did a tar backup excluding proc, mnt, media, var/lib/mythtv, and sys. I untarred it onto the new drive and recreated all the folders I exluded but for some reason my / is being mounted read only because of errors. I can't see what the errors are because the screen goes so fast. also, darn fsck runs everytime I reboot. i fixed menu.lst and [01:21] takamarou: you could install the 'gos-desktop' stuff on a normal ubuntu install and pick what one to use from the GDM logn screen i recall also. [01:21] takamarou: what's gOS? [01:21] I dident find gOS worth messing wth :( [01:21] !gOS [01:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about gOS [01:21] richardcavell, gOS is an implementation of an LDAP system [01:22] gOS is an Enlightenment 17 flavoured variant of Ubuntu, [01:22] mazda01: try using dd to clone your disk drive [01:22] Curious , last Ubuntu version i used was 8.4 and it had flash problems, are those resolved in 9.4?

[01:22] DasEi : well its been more then 4 hours but the server doesnt seem to reboot or restart [01:23] takamarou: to try things out.. I always try them in virtualbox.. much easier. [01:23] okay so gos is just an Ubuntu derivative distro of Linux? [01:23] richardcavell, ubuntu-based and not supported here [01:23] takamarou: read its features.. see if it has anything you need i guess. [01:23] can someone PLEASE help me with with a screen resolution issue? [01:23] bazhang: that's okay [01:23] Lenin_Cat: isn't gimp rgb only? :f [01:23] richardcavell: basically.. not sure what else its done to differant itself over te last few months sinv ive last tried it. [01:23] Does 9.04 support duel monitors? [01:24] richardcavell: i see the web site http://www.thinkgos.com/index.html using lots of new buzzwords like cloud computing and stuff. :) [01:24] Dr_Willis, I've read about it. It sounds like it'll be worth using. Anyways, you don't know of any way to quickly switch between to different OS's, unless in Virtual Box? [01:24] sziasztok [01:24] takamarou: there's no other way [01:25] elplatt: screen support is quite tricky remotely but I'll see what I can do.. [01:25] takamarou: theres that xen/zen (??) stuff.. but virtualbox is the best way to test things out. [01:25] takamarou: you need to use virtualization software or else use two different computers [01:25] can anyone help me figure out why fsck is running upon every reboot? [01:25] DasEi : well its been more then 4 hours but the server doesnt seem to reboot or restart [01:25] mazda01: you want to mount the partition as read-write, don't you? [01:25] nevyn: i have a 1440x900 monitor, but that resolution doesn't show up in prefs (i'm running 8.04) [01:25] !dualhead | ChrisR [01:25] ChrisR: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [01:25] mazda01: if you mount it as read-only then fsck can't fix the filesystem [01:26] !xrandr | ChrisR [01:26] ChrisR: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 [01:26] how to copy this folder : /usr/lib/lazaru/languager ? [01:26] richardcavell: yes. but first I am trying to figure out why fsck is running everytime I restart [01:26] ubottu ty [01:26] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [01:26] elplatt: what video card/driver are you using? [01:26] mazda01: well for one thing let it fix the partition [01:26] DiViN3: maybe disabled fpr regular users ? login as root first : sudo -s [01:26] richardcavell: i understand that. I have run a live cd and run fsck on the drive. everything is fine fsck says [01:26] Hello! What's the easiest, fastest way to backup a user's home directory? [01:26] DiViN3: reboot [01:26] DasEi : i am logged in as root [01:26] Dr_Willis, Sorry to poke you again, are you able to ad top and bottom panels to your second screen? [01:26] richardcavell: it's not fixing anything [01:27] takamarou: i dont even see what about it makes it worth using. But i guess it depends on your needs.. ive been on a testing spree lately. its hard to make anything 'stand out' to me. [01:27] mazda01: well it won't if it can't write to the partition [01:27] i am using kubuntu and i need help with making sure i have 3d with my video card i went to the hardware devices and when i click on activate it wont do anything [01:27] solexious: alt-click on the panen and drag it.. also in the nvidia-settings tool you can select which one is the primary monitor. [01:27] thank [01:27] DasEi : i am only recieving the message thats its going for reboot but its not rebotting [01:27] Intel 82845G according to lspci [01:28] DiViN3: what does ctrl-alt-delete ? [01:28] DasEi : i am also getting a error message of invocke-rc.d [01:28] Dr_Willis, Sorry, to clarify, can you have them on both at the same time? [01:28] i had ubuntu 8.10 and now i am trying out kubuntu 8.10 should i upgrade to kubuntu 9.04 or stay with 8.10 and is ubuntu and kubuntu with the versions completley different [01:28] !backup [01:28] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [01:28] solexious: make a new panel for the 2nd monitor. [01:28] DasEi : i am xsing the server via ssh so i dnt think so i can do a ctrl + alt + del [01:28] solexious: the panels dont 'steatch' across 2 monitors with twinview enabled. [01:28] richardcavell: like right now. I just rebooted to see if I got it working yet. I see at the top this message; ld_static: cannot open output file /lib/lodules/blah blah blah Reaad only file system. then below that, iTCO_wdt: failed to reset NO_REBOOT flag, reboot disabled by hardware and now it's sitting there running fsck on 5 drives again for like the umptenth time [01:29] help please [01:29] Dr_Willis, Thanks, just what i hoped for [01:29] DiViN3: true [01:29] solexious: i keep a right side panel on the 2n monitor for launchers. :) [01:29] solexious: so i got 3 panels total [01:29] mazda01: and it does this before booting into your X-windows system? [01:30] solexious: i have seen a FEW apps tht get confused by the panels on the first monitor so if they fullscreen they dont fully maxamize if on the 2nd monitor.. they think thers a panel at the top [01:30] Dr_Willis, Thats what I had planned, but till its all arrives in the post I cant test any thing like that : [01:30] :)* [01:30] richardcavell: within fstab the / mount line has errors-remount-ro or something like that. how can I force it to mount read/write? Also, how do I get it to stop trying to run fsck? i ahve run fsck on all the drives with a live cd and they are fine [01:30] can you have Gui via ssh? [01:30] DiViN3: so probably the sever side is locked up then, a deafult ssh would shutdown, if root is permitted [01:30] so what should i do anyone? [01:30] I set up a sound blaster live card, and ubuntu recognizes it, however it continues using my on-board sound instead. Anyone know how to change what it uses? [01:30] nevyn: any thoughts? [01:30] mazda01: mount it as rw [01:30] richardcavell: yes, I need to fix xorg. I am just trying to get to a gui so I can run nvidia-settings [01:30] DasEi : so how do i get it to reboot and get my things fixed [01:30] hey any easy peasy moders here? [01:30] elplatt: ok... [01:31] Gos, what is easy peasy [01:31] tiPPy: you can forward X [01:31] Dr_Willis, I plan on having panels on the bottom 2 screens and totally empty for the top 2 === overclucker is now known as vrcluckrapplpin [01:31] richardcavell: I am merely booting up the system. should I change the fstab line? [01:31] DiViN3: who admistrates the server btw where is it located ? [01:31] mazda01: yeah [01:31] tiPPy: yes, you can use X11 forwarding. However, for a full desktop environment (such as gnome) its probably better to use VNC with encryption [01:31] is kubuntu better than ubuntu [01:31] solexious: you got a large desk.. and lots of neck pain in your future i predict.. [01:31] mazda01: let fsck write to the partition [01:31] Xodiac13: simple answer, no. [01:31] Xodiac13: use what you like.. kde or gnome.. [01:31] bazhang better known as eeeubuntu [01:31] elplatt: that particular hardware has been getting lots of TLC in recent X development is there a reason you don't want to run 9.04? [01:31] mazda01: and in this case / is everything [01:31] !better | Xodiac13 [01:31] Xodiac13: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [01:31] it's the whole filesystem [01:31] Xodiac13: in my opinion, KDE 3 and Ubuntu are about even, but that KDE 4 thing I am not a fan, except for how apps have got better, but I can run in Gnome anyway so :) [01:32] !eashypeasy [01:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about eashypeasy [01:32] actually i tried 9.04 first and it had the same problem [01:32] !easypeasy [01:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about easypeasy [01:32] richardcavell: what do you mean, let fsck write to the partition? [01:32] !easy peasy [01:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about easy peasy [01:32] Dr_Willis, Its a long one, and you may be right about the neck pain :s [01:32] nevyn: are you referring to the Intel GMA950? [01:32] Gos, is that an official Ubuntu release? or the one with Adam's kernel [01:32] richardcavell: yeah [01:32] !help [01:32] 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. :-) [01:32] mazda01: I'm saying let it write to the partition [01:32] nevyn: I'm on a GMA 950 and I'm using Karmic. It's way way way better than Jaunty [01:32] Xodiac13: I should have said Gnome not Ubuntu above [01:32] how do i run a 64 bit guest in a 32 bit host in virtualbox, i read that was possible [01:32] Dr_Willis: i had ubuntu 8.10 and now using kubuntu 8.10 for some odd reason i cant activate the hardware drivers for my radeon x200 and ubuntu 8.10 had no problem doing that what should i do i like kubuntu i just need help on getting it to install my video drivers [01:32] Xodiac13: the core is same , ubu/kubu, just different surfaces [01:32] Gos, please /msg ubottu [01:32] sebsebseb: its all good [01:33] ubuntu: probably better to ask in #vbox [01:33] bazhang will do [01:33] Xodiac13: KDE 4 as a GUI no thanks [01:33] richardcavell: which number is karmic? [01:33] richardcavell: right.. but elplatt is trying to use an intel g45 with 8.04 [01:33] hey there. i have a program thts not responding. i closed it with ctrl+alt+escape. but ksysguard still shows it. i tried killing the pid but still nothing. any suggestions? [01:33] sebsebseb? so you dont like guis [01:33] elplatt: 9.10 [01:33] elplatt: 9.10pre... [01:33] elplatt, 9.10 #ubuntu+1 for discussion [01:33] Xodiac13: ubuntu and kubuntu use the same drivers.. ATI has been goofing with their fglrx drivers lately. (i rid my self of all my ati machines so cant help more then that) [01:33] richardcavell: i don't know what you're saying. I am booting up ubuntu, the / is being mounted read only because of unknown errors, then fsck runs and shows everything is ok. what are you suggesting I do. I also can't get into a darn X session. despite me running sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [01:33] SuspectZero: which app ? [01:34] elplatt: Karmic is an order of magnitude better with my Intel GMA 945 than any previous Ubuntu [01:34] DasEi, k3b [01:34] Xodiac13: I don't like KDE 4 as a GUI! Gnome and KDE 3 though :) oh and I have tried window managers, OpenBox, and Fluxbox, and what not, but I would go back to Gnome or KDE [01:34] Xodiac13: XFCE is alright [01:34] OK Next Question, Does Ubuntu 9.04 Support 4gigs of DDR Ram n Quad Processors? [01:34] Xodiac13: you can install kubuntu-desktop on ubuntu, and ubuntu-desktop on kubuntu - and just pick what desktp to use from the login screen. [01:34] mazda01: If fsck can't modify the disk then it will run every time [01:34] sebsebseb: don't respond to in channel polls [01:34] nevyn: i'm happy to try a different version [01:34] SuspectZero: try sudo killall k3b , to kill child-processes, too [01:34] DasEi :well i bought this dedi from shellservers.org so i have no idea where the IDC is [01:34] mazda01: mount it as rw [01:34] DasEi, ksysguard is still showing it [01:34] mazda01: change the /etc/fstab line - replace that bit with rw [01:34] sebsebseb, thanks [01:34] Is there a way to be alerted when a user SSH's in? [01:34] Dr_Willis: all i did was install kubuntu 8.10 thinking it would install my video driver the one think im confused is that it wont install in kubuntu but it does in ubuntu [01:34] elplatt: get the current release jaunty 9,04 and things may be better.. [01:34] !kde3 > Xodiac13 [01:34] Xodiac13, please see my private message [01:35] nevyn: my frustration is that it seems like it either works automatically or it doesn't work at all [01:35] Xodiac13: and there's a repo you can get for it [01:35] richardcavell: what do you suggest I do to get the darn / disk mounted as read write? do you have a fstab line that I could look at? [01:35] SuspectZero: top also showing it ? [01:35] nevyn: already tried 9.04, same problem [01:35] elplatt: you can do some things like try running xrandr from a terminal.. and see what shows up [01:35] ubuntu: for what? [01:35] DasEi : well atleast can you list me a site where i can setup my DNS setting with my Rdns working with tutorial === tonsofpc1 is now known as tonsofpcs [01:35] lo [01:35] sebsebseb: so im screwed on getting my video card like i did with ubuntu 8.10 [01:36] any one there [01:36] sebsebseb: i mean it worked fine in ubuntu 8.10 [01:36] Xodiac13: the 2 use the exact same core/drivers under neeth. it shouldent matter. [01:36] DasEi, yep [01:36] mazda01: replace the errors=remount-ro bit on the / line with rw [01:36] DiViN3: you want to do dynamic dns ? [01:36] nevyn: same resolutions as in the display prefs gui [01:36] jonesy, yes [01:36] richardcavell: ok, will try [01:36] elplatt: how old is the hardware? [01:36] Xodiac13: which type of graphics card? [01:36] DasEi : m getting this error when i restart my bind9 : rndc: connection to remote host closed [01:36] sebsebseb: it just wont work in kubuntu when i try to activate it it really doesnt do anything and it keeps saying that the driver is not activated so then i keep trying to activate it [01:36] richardcavell: thanks. I didn't think it would be this hard to move an install to another computer but I guess it is. [01:36] Hey, whoever was telling me to use ntop, how do I use it? I type 'ntop' at the Terminal and just get a bunch oferrors [01:36] Xodiac13: you may want to upgrade to the latest ubuntu.. but that may not support your card with the fglrx drivers at all. So its a catch-22 situation i guess [01:36] nevyn: few years, not sure exactly [01:37] mazda01: Oh God don't try to do that [01:37] sebsebseb: its a radeon x200 worked awesome in ubuntu 8.10 [01:37] Xodiac13: sounds like something from ATI? [01:37] DasEi : now the thing is my hostname is not recolveing [01:37] DasEi : now the thing is my hostname is not resolving* [01:37] elplatt: have you checked for a bios update? [01:37] sebsebseb: so im going to have to go back to ubuntu 8.10 then [01:37] richardcavell: i wasn't about to reinstall all my apps, my mysql server, my mythtv install and all my customizations! [01:37] Xodiac13: is it ATI? [01:37] still cant set my screen to 1280X1024 any one got any iders? [01:37] sebsebseb: yeah [01:38] mazda01: probably easier than what you're trying to do! [01:38] Xodiac13: sure go back to 8.10, it's the better release really in many ways, when comparing to 9.04, 9.10 should be quite a bit better though :) [01:38] DiViN3: if you rent a dedi-server, they should have done that for you [01:38] sebsebseb: i want to try out 9.04 but it doesnt support my video card [01:38] DasEi, screw it, i'll just restart . thanks for the help though. it seems everytime im here ur always helping me :D join #remote-exploit sometime and i'll help you :P [01:38] richardcavell: ok, should it just be relatime,rw [01:38] !ati | Xodiac13 [01:38] Xodiac13: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:38] nevyn: nope, how would that help? [01:38] Xodiac13: not much to try out in 9.04, to be hoenst [01:38] honest [01:38] Xodiac13: if you accidently upgraded to 9.04 that might of broke the ati d5rivers. [01:38] mazda01: okay. [01:38] sebsebseb: o okay [01:38] DasEi :well the thing is its only done when i get the managed service, but since i didnt i have to do it on my own [01:39] Xodiac13: also if you virtual machine it with 8.10 as host, that should get round your graphids card issue, because then it can use the host [01:39] Dr_Willis: i didnt it keeps asking me lol [01:39] elplatt: there's a table in the videocard of supported resolutions [01:39] sebsebseb: I never heard of Matrox video cards before...they any good? [01:39] well it's in the main system bios ... etc... bleh [01:39] mechtech: I don't know [01:39] DasEi :so any idea where or how i can get to fix that dns issue [01:39] how can i run a command through ssh that wont terminate when i close my ssh session? [01:39] mechtech: I loved my G400 [01:39] DiViN3:see, and it has no static ip ? [01:40] nevyn: i'll look into it, although when i got it, it had xp and the screen worked fine [01:40] mechtech: they're workstation cards.. they got out of the consumer space a few years ago [01:40] Line: add a "&" to run a command "in the background" [01:40] Dr_Willis: i am going to have to install ubuntu 8.10 then thank you i appreciate the help [01:40] Xodiac13: you could install ubuntu, then install the kubuntu-desktop package if you wanted... i gave away my ati based laptop. so thats about all i know on the topic. :) good luck [01:40] nevyn: Matrox G400? [01:40] Xodiac13: I read something about better support in 9.10 for these problem Intel graphics cards, so maybe other types as well [01:40] mechtech: yeah [01:40] but that was ages ago.. [01:40] DasEi :i have 128 ips in it [01:40] Xodiac13: 9.10 isn't out yet though of course [01:40] Xodiac13: as a final [01:40] Line: set up a script on remote machine, run it, log out [01:40] Dr_Willis: okay thank you [01:40] I finally got my intel cards working good. :) just had to use a PPA repo to upgrade things [01:40] hi all, question about emesene: I deleted contacts from my hotmail account and they still can send me IMs..how can I fix this? [01:40] edbian thank you i will try it [01:40] sebsebseb: is 9.10 going to support all raedon video cards [01:40] Ok I want to use the great reliable ext3 file system on my flashdrive and external hard drive. I dont want to keep having to do "gksudo nautilus" every time i want to access files or chamnge permissions constantly. I read that some guy adds users names to the "users" group and then simply sets all ownership of the drive to "users group". Is there any groups by default that represent "every user has permission to use that drive? Example [01:40] Xodiac13: not sure [01:41] Line: NP! You can test it out in a standard terminal [01:41] sebsebseb: okay thank you have a good one [01:41] DiViN3:so take one and register it at dymdns.org with a name you want [01:41] sebsebseb: going back to ubuntu [01:41] Xodiac13: hang on [01:41] dyndns* , DiViN3 [01:41] sebsebseb: okay [01:41] richardcavell: what's that option when running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? is it like --phigh or something like that? also, X did finally show up but I only have 256 RAM so I am guessing that's holding me back trying to use gnome. my top panel isn't filling in with Apps or Places or System and the stuff in the right side of the uppper panel isn't there either. any thoughts? [01:41] Xodiac13: did you understand what I was saying about virtual machine? and how much RAM do you have? [01:41] qt [01:41] linuxguy2009: set the modes to 777 on the stuff.. then anyone can access them all.. but thats not a good fix.. your groups method may be a better way. [01:41] any one know how to set my desktop to 1280x1024 coz it want let me :( [01:41] sebsebseb: i have 1 gig [01:42] Xodiac13: yeah that's enough for vm's. so you say KDE 4 is the problem in 9.04? [01:42] sebsebseb: with 2.66ghz processor duo core [01:42] Xodiac13: it won't do your graphids card? [01:42] DasEi : well i setup my own name server n pointed it already, it was working but after i did apt-get upgrade , all went crazy [01:42] mazda01: -plow will give you all questions [01:42] sebsebseb: i have kubuntu 8.10 installed it should support my video card but it doesnt [01:42] !kde3 > Xodiac13 [01:42] Xodiac13, please see my private message [01:42] linuxguy2009: ive learned to set the uid's on all my users on the various linux box's i use identically. so my file ownership/s dont change when i move my flash drives from one to another. [01:42] mazda01: I don't think I can add anything. If you're trying to migrate it to new hardware you're going to have a headache. [01:42] Dr_Willis: Ok cool. BTW what are the numbers I keep seeing mean for permissions? that 777 666 etc. Are they group or user numbers? [01:43] Xodiac13: so your going back to 8.04? [01:43] linuxguy2009: those are file permisions.. neither one. :) chown for owner.. chmod for modes. [01:43] nevyn: --plow? really? I thought it was something with phigh. [01:43] sebsebseb: i have to go back to ubuntu 8.10 because my video card actually worked with 3d and all [01:43] oh ok [01:43] linuxguy2009: theres guides and docs and examples of what all those mean. [01:43] DasEi : is there any command to restore the whole server back to an earlier time [01:43] linuxguy2009: really somthing worth reading up on. I rarely use the groups feature. [01:43] hey [01:44] hey [01:44] mazda01: -phigh and -plow control which questions are presented to you [01:44] Xodiac13: ok or you could try other distros [01:44] nevyn: ok, thanks [01:44] -phigh only shows the high priority questions [01:44] Dr_Willis: Right on brotha! Thank you that gives me somethimg new to google and learn. Later! [01:44] O:-) [01:44] :P [01:44] DiViN3:that won't work, and they didn't tell you how to restart ? [01:44] linuxguy2009: i saw a little google desktop gadget that lets you click on a thing and it shows the ### permisions :) [01:44] linuxguy2009: additionally checkout umask and default umask [01:44] sebsebseb: i have been trying to see if opensuse supports my video card but i tried looking in forums and i cant find it so if it works with my video card then i will try that out [01:45] I want to do a full disk backup from the live cd, including MBR. Would dd if=/dev/sda of=/mnt/whatever do that? [01:45] Xodiac13: no I woudn't recommend going to opensuse. How experienced are you with Linux? [01:45] sebsebseb: im a complete linux NOOB [01:45] Xodiac13: the thing to remeber is that its ATI that has done changes to their FGLRX drivers.. its possible that card is one they removed from the newer FGLRX drivers.. if so . then most all new disrtos will use the ATI drivber for that card. [01:45] edbian i tried the & before the comma d and i got bash: unexpected character '&’ [01:45] bobwhoops: yes, but the /mnt/whatever has to be big enough, own sized party will be best [01:46] Hello, i am using transmission bittorrent client to download debian and archlinux, and my download speed is fine, but i have a constant 0.0 kb/s upload. I've opened the port on my router, checked preferences and clicked enabled port forwarding, and preferences even says the port is open... but still no uploading. I don't like just downloading without "giving back"... anyone know of anything to check? [01:46] DasEi : as i said earlier , it was like working fine all the way until i apt-get upgrade , n the server was reboot at that point of time to take effect but after that this problem started [01:46] DasEi: Can it be just a regular file on an external hard drive? [01:46] Line [01:46] sebsebseb: so what should i do because i see my only option is to go to ubuntu 8.10 [01:46] Line: A "&" at the end of the command [01:47] Xodiac13: yeah it's not if Ubuntu will support all ATI cards, it's really if ATI will support all ATI cards on Linux distros, which I belive is what Dr_Willis was also basically saying [01:47] Line: "sudo compiz --replace&" [01:47] mordocai: seems like you've got the bases covered...maybe there isn't anyone trying to download that right now however unlikely that may seem [01:47] DiViN3:so you had one reboot least; sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a is another manner to fork it all again [01:47] sebsebseb: o okay cool cool well ubuntu 8.10 it is [01:47] Xodiac13: yeah 8.10 or 8.0.3 the long term support, or other distros, such as Mandriva, since your new to Linux [01:47] I'm having difficulty with an intermittent hard crash in Ubuntu-9.04 AMD64 when attempting large file operations like backing up to a portable drive (every few minutes), or very intermittently (once or twice weekly) with regular use. Upon hard crash, the machine no longer accepts any incoming ssh connections or responds to existing ssh connections, and (as far as I know) the logs found in /var/log don't contain anything out of [01:47] sebsebseb: i tried looking at that too mandriva i dont know if it supports my video card [01:47] bobwhoops: regular partiton, as this will behave like a big iso [01:48] Xodiac13: or PC Linux OS, which I belive is coming out with the 2009 version in August :) [01:48] mechtech: Possible i suppose, i looked around for a software firewall on ubuntu... didn't see anything i could open software wise. The arch download has 95 peers, the debian only 7 [01:48] Xodiac13: that's the idea of Live CD's for distros [01:48] Xodiac13: boot up and try your hardware, without installing anything, unless you want to [01:48] sebsebseb: i remeber trying out mandriva and i had a x1200 and that somehow had 3d support [01:48] mordocai: at command prompt run: ufw status [01:48] how can i change or modify JVM options on ubuntu? [01:48] DasEi: it has to be a partition, it can't be a file? [01:48] sebsebseb: so would it be better if i go to ubuntu 8.04 [01:48] DasEi : i am recieving error : invoke-rc.d: WARNING: invoke-rc.d called during shutdown sequence [01:49] Lancearate: what are you using to back up [01:49] sebsebseb: does it support my video card [01:49] mordocai: that will show you whether uncomplicated firewall is enabled or disabled [01:49] mechtech: Inactive [01:49] sebsebseb: i remeber looking at the ubuntu forums and 8.10 supported my video card [01:49] Xodiac13: if 8.10 does I expect 8.04.3 does, since I think it still has the older version of xorg [01:49] mordocai: no other firewall? [01:49] WindowsUser: samba, nautilus, copy+paste to directory on windows vista machine [01:49] mechtech: Hmm... i do have some in my peer list who say they are incoming connections... so i guess they are getting here. And yeah, no other firewall that i know of. [01:50] sebsebseb: is that a good thing or bad older version of xorg and i cant choose i need help on that should i use 8.10 or 8.04 [01:50] sebsebseb, Xodiac13: versions of Ubuntu before 9.04 use the older version of xorg, and aren't getting upgraded to the newer one. [01:50] bobwhoops:it can be a file, if the size is big enough, but dd will overwrite anything in the xisting place, so the upper space on the external hd then is useless [01:50] My mother in-law updated her Ubuntu laptop, and now Gnome won't load. It was set up to auto login and load the desktop, and now she is getting the login screen. When she logs in it doesn't do anything. Any ideas? [01:50] Xodiac13: the older version of fglrx that (I presume) you want requires the older version of xorg in 8.10 or older. [01:50] mechtech: Oh yeah, just looked through the list... looks like everyone is a seeder lol [01:50] Xodiac13: 8.10 is a nice release, thing is it stops being supported next April [01:50] rww: o okay so ether or im good with 8.04 or 8.10 lol sorry im trying to make sure my video card will work === ox is now known as helper [01:50] Xodiac13: I think it's next April anyway for the desktop [01:50] DiViN3:answered your pm [01:51] mordocai: also, transmission is set to use a random port every time it starts, so to use port forwarding effectively, you either need to have the software use the UPnP ability, or set the port within the software yourself...I recommend anything above 10000 [01:51] sebsebseb: so go with 8.04 because it will be supported for a long time [01:52] Xodiac13: go for 8.10, then if your up for it you can do a clean install of 9.10 when it's out, quicker than upgrading through 9.04, plus then if you do guided install (or choose when setting partiitons up yourself) you get full Ext4 by default :) totally worth people clean installing Ubuntu when 9.10 is out, for the default Extr4, with much faster boot up time [01:52] mechtech: Okay, thanks. I think it just may be no one is downloading. Though i'm going to double check the port forwarding. [01:53] sebsebseb: i thought ext4 was still kinda experimental [01:53] mordocai: I would [01:53] mechtech: well yeah kind of experimental in 9.04 I guess, Fedora 11 uses by default, but it also has a later kernel, and Ubuntu 9.10 will have Ext4 by default with of course later kernel :) [01:53] sebsebseb: okay and when i install 8.10 what type of partition should i use for fast boot-up and performance because im a gamer [01:53] Guys I want some software that shows a window on my computer listing all active TCP/UDP connections. I want it to run in real time and to display in X11, not in a terminal. Firestarter has something similar. Is there any package similar to that? [01:54] Xodiac13: ext3. 8.10's kernel doesn't support ext4. [01:54] Xodiac13: Ext4 is not an option in 8.10, so you do Ext3 [01:54] edbian that only showed a pid or something i stillRise get syntax errorr323 unexpected symbol &, i am using an ssh program via my iphone [01:54] sebsebseb: :) [01:54] sebsebseb: sorry i dont mean to keep asking but isnt ext2 faster than ext3 or is ext3 faster [01:54] edbianan sorry for the errorsr [01:54] Line: Show me the command you typed [01:55] Xodiac13: if you do 9.10 when released and can't get your card working there, well then you can obviosuly put 8.04 on [01:55] Line: You are ssh'd into an ubuntu box using bash script correcT? [01:55] !ext3 | Xodiac13 [01:55] Xodiac13: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [01:55] richardcavell: etherape might do what you want [01:55] WuTang! [01:55] & /home/user/Desktop/squeezeslave -m 00:00:00:00:00:00 -r10 [01:56] sebsebseb: okay nice nice well im going to put ubuntu 8.10 on my machine thank you for the help [01:56] richardcavell: i gave up. just going to do a fresh install and start over. I am going to export my mysql database and my home directory. just have to reinstall all apps and copy over the etc config files. I was able to take a hard drive and put it in another machine once, but I was trying to move an install from one hard drive to another. oh well. [01:56] Xodiac13: ok no probs [01:56] mazda01: good idea [01:56] Xodiac13: if you do a guided install [01:56] edbian i dont think so [01:56] Xodiac13: hold on a sec [01:56] sebsebseb: have a good one and thanks again i appreciate it [01:56] sebsebseb: okay [01:56] Line: You don't think so about what? [01:56] Xodiac13: if you do a guided install then you get everything in / and it does swap for you [01:57] Does anyone have any idea why an update would cause 8.10 to stop auto login, and fail to load Gnome on login? [01:57] richardcavell: partimage or similar shoudl work though. I just tried the tar route and found it to be too hard to get it working again. [01:57] Xodiac13: having a seperate home can be useful though, if you set up the partitions yourself you can do that. [01:57] th0r: I just want it to say "http port 80 firefox 3kbytes/sec" or something like that [01:57] sebsebseb: yeah ive been doing that its easier [01:57] edbian its just connecting to my openssh service [01:57] mazda01: yep. I use clonezilla [01:57] Xodiac13: ok well clean install then :) [01:57] sebsebseb: other distros i tried i would have enough for the OS and then swap and then home like you said [01:57] Line: Show me the command you're trying to issue? [01:57] if my computer doesn't go to sleep for awhile, is there a way to figure out why? (it seems to happen when firefox is open, but I would like to check if I can) [01:58] Xodiac13: ah ha you have been doing seperate home? [01:58] sebsebseb: i will thank you have a good one [01:58] richardcavell: i'll have to test that out. is it free? [01:58] mazda01: yep [01:58] mazda01: go to clonezilla's website and download the live CD [01:58] richardcavell: do you run it from a livecd? [01:58] sebsebseb: well i mean i seperate it with three partitions one for OS, swap, and where i have my programs [01:58] Xodiac13: ok [01:58] mazda01: it's really powerful. Boot into live CD and you can go from disk/partition/image to disk/partition/image [01:59] edbian & /home/user/Desktop/squeezeslave -m 00:00:00:00:00:00 -r10 [01:59] sebsebseb: but i havent done that in a while i just do the option where it does it for me where it creates a swap for me [01:59] Line: The "&" goes at the end [01:59] Line: That command has no program! Just arguments [01:59] Xodiac13: yeah go for that, and you can try 9.10 when it's released as well, which means you should clean install, as I already explained [01:59] Line: Unless you have a program named "edbian" :{ [01:59] edvian D'oh thanks! [01:59] richardcavell: I think there is a menu optino that will do that' [01:59] richardcavell: cools, thanks [01:59] sebsebseb: okay thank you have a good one [01:59] Line: lol [02:00] Line: NP [02:00] god damn it ScreenResolution dont even work [02:00] what the hell i need to do to set my desktop to 1280x1024 [02:00] ive tryed all the fourms and nothing still the same [02:00] th0r: installing now [02:00] but yet if i boot to my other install of ubuntu fine and on xp [02:01] (reposted) I'm having difficulty with an intermittent hard crash in Ubuntu-9.04 AMD64 when attempting large file operations like backing up to a portable drive (every few minutes), or very intermittently (once or twice weekly) with regular use.

My Nvidia card has a settings utility in the system tools that lets me adjust it. [02:02] ati [02:02] maybe i should bin it [02:02] richardcavell: haven' [02:02] richardcavell: haven't used it much but if I remember right there is a protocol display that will show you http, dhcp, icmp, etc in real time [02:02] Lancearate: I had a problem like that once.. Drove me crazy. 2 years later, I found it was a bad capacitor next to my CPU on the motherboard. [02:02] really its done my head in so much [02:02] Fishscene: D: how do you even test for that kind of thing [02:03] If I remember right when I had an ATI driver I had to make my settings in the xorg.conf file. [02:04] Lancearate: I was unable to devise a test to find the problem, so I purchased a new PC and enver had problems. But 2 years after I did that, I examined my old mobo and found a capacitor had leaked jumk all over my mobo. I know I'm not offering much help, but intermittent hardware problems are VERY hard to diagnose. You can try pulling/swapping expansion cards. Pull the ones you don't need first, then swap out the other ones (like the video card [02:04] th0r: I'm running it now. I don't think it's what I want [02:04] What I want is like it has in Firestarter. Just a text window with all active connections [02:05] stupid god damn fucking display [02:05] Lancearate: I had a similar problem. My capacitors also exploded. My system would randomly shut off.

[02:05] richardcavell: I have firestarter installed, I know what you mean. I have quite a few network tools (used to be my job) but from what I recall etherape is the closest thing I have to firestarter [02:06] richardcavell: why not use firestarter?

Are capacitors known to go bad simply due to an operating system install? [02:06] Kveldulf, please see my private message [02:06] th0r: It's not doing what I want. It has pretty graphics that change all the time [02:07] i had this really easy way on windows with this little bar one way made it bigger the other way smaller so easy [02:07] Lancearate: This was on a windows xp install. It was not the fault of the OS. It was an emachines computer (low quality). No software is immune to hardware failure [02:07] Lancearate: lol [02:07] and know i have to reporgram my xOrg server what the hell POS [02:07] Lancearate: Not that I'm aware of. If Vista is working just fine, then I have no idea..

[02:11] oppps [02:11] sorry [02:11] mazda01: so you're mounting an external drive within the Ubuntu installer as /media/fat32? [02:11] http://paste.ubuntu.com/240475/ [02:11] can any one take a look at this xorg.conf thingy [02:11] mazda01: seems like strange way to go about it [02:11] ive put as much info as i can find in there [02:12] is there a program like Norton Ghost? [02:12] @mechtech -- i don't want to talk about software -- i want to talk about RIAA and trials [02:12] is this rite Identifier "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0" [02:12] richardcavell: they aren't external. they are internal drives that already ahve tons of movies and music on them. i just want the installer to create the mount points so that they get added to fstab right off the batt. i've done this in the past but I think I always end up chowning the folders and changing the permissions anyway. I just couldn't remeber what they get created by for user:group and whatnot.

I am trying to tell the installer to mount my 300gb hard drive to /var/lib/mythtv and it's saying something about deleting existing data. I don't remember that coming up when I've done this in the psat. I guess i'll just mount it afterwards. don't want to risk deleting over 180 dvr'd shows with mythtv.

[02:28] i want to run on bochs [02:28] okay [02:28] mdg, the current support of fglrx (with the exception of radeonhd) is very problematic; users of other cards should just use the radeon OSS driver [02:28] Hey, am I able to use an official Ubuntu CD for VMWare on a Windows machine? [02:29] mdg: yes its all installed and uptodate [02:29] brEz: yes [02:29] brEz, sure [02:29] sounds good to me [02:29] How, lol? [02:29] shindow, the bot wont talk back to you..... =) [02:29] I'm new to vmware and I only use the player - so there is no support. [02:29] brEz, install vmware, get the iso, run it [02:29] mdg: No, not vim forum. In fact, I think it's not because of vim, but because of some hidden changes of distro. (question re-asked) [02:29] brEz: download the iso, install with vmware, use it [02:29] I have the actual CD. [02:29] bazhang: so jonesy_ should use radeon oss driver? [02:29] brEz: I would recommend Virtualbox, and it can even use vmdk files [02:29] Hello all. How to enable "vim:set ts=4"? I used to set small things like tabstops, syntax... embeded in text file. However, when I started using Jaunty, those "vim:set ts=4" no longer work. I already "apt-get install vim-full", but it still does not work. Maybe it's not because of Jaunty. Anyway. Please help. (question re-asked in busy irc channel) [02:29] brEz: if it's a live cd, you could boot to the cd to check it out first [02:29] brEz: it's also much better than VMware player [02:29] brEz, though here would be more Ubuntu support :) [02:30] brEz: maybe you should try virtualbox, its much easier (and imo better) then vmware [02:30] Nice [02:30] cause I use ubuntu primarily, but my partner always reboots for windows [02:30] gets very annoying :P [02:30] brEz, ie run windows in a Ubuntu vbox [02:30] (reposted) I'm having difficulty with an intermittent hard crash in Ubuntu-9.04 AMD64 when attempting large file operations like backing up to a portable drive (every few minutes), or very intermittently (once or twice weekly) with regular use. Upon hard crash, the machine no longer accepts any incoming ssh connections or responds to existing ssh connections, and (as far as I know) the logs found in /var/log don't contain anyth [02:30] brEz: yep that makes sense, virtual machine Windows inside Ubuntu [02:30] triplc: what version of vim you using? [02:30] mdg, seems so [02:30] Is virtualbox freeware? [02:31] brEz: yes [02:31] I am using Jaunty [02:31] brEz, open source in Ubuntu repos, free from their site (not open though) [02:31] so problematic you cant even set the correct desktop size gezz it should be scraped and put in the bin [02:31] jonesy_: bazhang says to try radeon OSS driver [02:31] its linux based? [02:31] i need some help magnify thing started itself how do i get it off [02:31] Lancearate: are the file operations on an ext4 drive? [02:31] I need something to run on windows > to run ubuntu :) [02:31] Lancearate: I don't know much about your problem, but your message is cut off at "don't contain anyth" [02:31] mdg: vim verison 7.2 in Jaunty [02:31] brEz, there are version for several OSes [02:31] I love you guys [02:32] lol [02:32] jeremdow: the root drive is EXT4, but the backup is from an NTFS drive to an NTFS drive [02:32] brEz: make sure you have a lot of sys resources brfore running virtualbox [02:32] triplc: do vim:set commands get stored in vimrc or somehwere else? _ I don't recall [02:32] how do i change my nick? [02:32] ubuntu /nick [02:32] 320gbhdd/4gb ram, c2d processor [02:33] should be enough :)?

[02:34] okay thanks [02:34] thanks thanks [02:34] lol [02:34] jeremdow: at first I thought it had something to do with EXT4, but the problem persists when attempting to backup using the liveCD instead.. I didn't know CDs used the EXT4 filesystem? [02:34] its my desktop that is maginifyed [02:34] Lancearate: doesn't seem related then - can you reproduce the crashes in any consistent way? [02:35] ZeroKewl, using compiz? === thanks is now known as J-O-S-H-U-A [02:35] no [02:35] jeremdow: yes - every time I have attempted to back up the NTFS drive, a hard crash occurs [02:35] i was playing a game and i got out of it and it was like this [02:36] J-O-S-H-U-A: would you like to play a game? [02:36] ZeroKewl, you mean the resolution has changed? [02:36] I have one of the "request a free CD" copies of Ubuntu, will I be able to use that to install it on virtual box?

[02:36] how i fix that [02:37] ZeroKewl, sounds like compiz [02:37] i got it [02:37] never mind [02:37] ZeroKewl, try alt f2 metacity --replace [02:37] J-O-S-H-U-A: watch WarGames sometime [02:37] brEz, those discs are the same as the ones that you download... except they come in the mail [02:37] had to change resoution to a diffrent one then back to what i had [02:37] [; [02:37] mdg: I think vim change behavior after I switch to Ubuntu 9.04. It was OK with 8.04 (I do not use 8.10) [02:37] ZeroKewl, okay [02:37] thanks though [02:38] I don't have time to watch tv or other frivolous methods of entertainment mechtech [02:38] Lancearate - so this is just backing up one ntfs drive to another ntfs drive on a different machine - what are you using to do the backup, rsync? [02:38] ok === JaVaK is now known as blog [02:38] triplc: does vim stuff also get saved to bashrc? === blog is now known as onlinecheapharma [02:39] mdg: bashrc? no.

[02:40] you can make a .vimrc :) or use tye system wide vimrc as a example. [02:40] long live ubuntu [02:40] triplc: you don't like .vimrc? [02:40] i dont like linux [02:41] hello [02:41] mdg: .vimrc is ok, but some setting (like tabstop, syntax) are different from text file to text file [02:41] i find it very buggy and hard to geta long with [02:41] Dr_Willis: where abouts would the systemwide vimrc be? [02:41] ive spent 3 days trying to set my screen to 1280x1024 [02:41] mdg: use 'locate vimrc' [02:41] mdg: to find it. [02:41] jonesy_: Contrary to popular belief, Linux is user friendly.

LOL [02:42] !wtf > jonesy [02:42] jonesy_: which ones have you tried? [02:42] jeremdow: I would agree, but I've experienced the crash when attempting the backup using ftp between the windows machine and the linux machine [02:43] jeremdow: I had assumed ftp was entirely separate from samba [02:43] al them [02:43] and some yellow and blak dogs [02:43] bazhang: does jonesy_ use flgrx to setup Radeon Oss? [02:43] jonesy_: obviously not since over 300 distros, in fact I think your just trolling now [02:43] mdg, no, fglrx is the proprietary one [02:43] fglrx is made by ATI [02:44] : all crap like get obver it [02:45] !language > jonesy_ [02:45] jonesy_, please see my private message [02:45] it dont matter if you had 20000000000 crap things there still all crap [02:45] Bunch of WHINERS in here tonight...pull yourself up by the bootstraps and get something accomplished, and LOSE the ATI cards because ATI has abandoned you.

How do I change it? [02:48] jonesy_: and if not, I guess your card isn't that Linux friendly, which isn't our fault [02:49] wawa [02:49] this driver is active [02:49] jonesy_: and it's not the fault of Linux distros either, in fact a lot of hardware support has been reverse enginered, because of lack of manufacture support, but that's changing more as times goes on :) [02:49] bazhang: Dr_Willis: sorry didn't see that response by bazhang [02:49] twig11: the menu.lst file is just a text file.. the windows menu entry is at the bottom. :) BACKUP your original just in case [02:50] twig11: thats the joy of linux.. most everythingis a text based config file :P [02:50] !xorg | jonesy_ [02:50] jonesy_: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[02:52] Lancearate: I see - check for that log - but if the NTFS drive is on the linux machine, then samba wouldn't be involved in an ftp transfer - I was still thinking ext4 - but the livecd rules that out too - I'm stumped for the moment [02:52] killazzz, of course === vrcluckrapplpin is now known as overclucker [02:53] killazzz: It's deadly in here ;) [02:53] jeremdow: thanks anyways for your help..

[03:19] jiffe99: If it is listed in the output of "sudo fdisk -l" then you can mount it [03:20] it doesn't look like it [03:20] bazhang: I don't want to use the repos (If what your talking about is what I'm thinking), because I want to install the beta [03:20] only seeing sda* [03:20] mount -a? [03:20] how do i find out what folders/files are being shared?

[03:27] m0r0n: their wine repo gets you the latest version, which is a beta or development [03:27] where are the deluge settings saved? it's not ~/.deluge [03:27] m0r0n: well, if you like to try again, there are commands you can try to figure out if it is working. It will be easier if you get the repo working, since it will auto-update. If you build it yourself, you will have to update it yourself everytime. [03:27] twig11, are you dual booting?

I installed Ubuntu on one internal drive, while leaving windows on the other. After importing user files from the Windows drive, I formatted it to EXT3. Now I just want to remove the entry from my boot menu. Is that the right selection to delete from menu.lst?

I'm trying to do that. I just want someone to double-check that I'm deleting only what I want to delete and no more. Can you do that? [03:32] m0r0n: repos are sources of software. Its like going to a website to get programs, except its all done behind the scenes. When you add a repo, the available software is listed in apt and synaptic along side your other programs [03:32] deexannihilate: ? you're quiet tonight...

However, after trying to connect (and failing do to authorization) it spits back a huge string of hex. Does my passphrase get converted to hex? How can I stop this or is that supposed to happen? [03:39] mehul_yadav shazbotmcnasty ,best to get stuff like this form the repo, not directly from the website [03:39] with the exception of 64bit [03:39] since there's meant to be a really good version of Flash for 64bit out there, which isn't in the repo [03:39] ok [03:40] I see. [03:40] which version do i go for ? [03:40] mehul_yadav: 32bit or 64bit?

In the background, they're all apt-get, and you only want one of those working on the database of installed osftware. [03:47] then do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [03:48] ok [03:48] or you can install that through synaptic as well...

[03:49] sha256sum mismatch install_flash player_10_linux.tar.gz [03:49] The Flash plugin is NOT installed [03:50] mehul_yadav, maybe you should go to the adobe website and download the .deb for flash [03:50] it's never not worked for me that way, I suggest that, although other people disagree. [03:51] i tried downloading from the adobe website too [03:51] programs can be download to ubuntu using several ways [03:51] mehul_yadav, which one did you get? [03:51] but when i go for installing it [03:51] sebsebseb: danbhfive: Thank you both. It's working [03:51] it says wrong architeture [03:51] m0r0n: good and no probs :) [03:51] mehul_yadav, you got 64bit? [03:52] where do i get the 64-bit version of flash ? [03:52] i followed the link on youtube [03:52] thiebaude mehul_yadav maybe the version of Flash in the repo is good enough now even for 64bit [03:52] and then downloaded the ubuntu 8.04 version [03:53] sebsebseb, i agree [03:53] thiebaude: mehul_yadav well really the repo Flash would be good enough for most [03:53] Can someone please help me with installing a control theme for GNOME?

[03:53] yes i did run in the terminal [03:54] no question mark [03:54] mehul_yadav: and no Flash still? [03:54] ubuntu-restricted-extras is already the newest version. [03:54] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded. [03:54] ? what causes firefox to close when it wants ? [03:54] mehul_yadav: ok [03:54] FloridaGuy: Firefox or Shiretoko ? [03:54] firefox [03:54] mehul_yadav, did you restart firefox? [03:55] doing it [03:55] trying to view youtube videos [03:55] ok [03:56] still i cant see the video...... [03:56] sebsebseb, firefox [03:56] mehul_yadav, is it just a blank video? [03:56] FloridaGuy: Firefox can be a bit bad under Linux, or well Ubuntu at least [03:56] only difference now is that it did ask me to install flashplayer [03:56] FloridaGuy: Flash maybe got it close [03:56] Can someone please help me with installing a control theme for GNOME? [03:56] mehul_yadav, yes [03:56] the part neat the video screen is blank white [03:57] with the video player absent [03:57] mehul_yadav, run firefox in terminal and see if it gives you any error messages when it closes [03:57] sebsebseb, think its all linux [03:57] how do i run firefox in the terminal? [03:57] * sebsebseb Flash can cause quite a few issues with Firefox in Ubuntu [03:57] Andorin, don't you just drag and drop the file into the theme manager? [03:57] mehul_yadav: run "firefox" in the terminal [03:58] FloridaGuy: What do you think Linux is? [03:58] mehul_yadav, gksudo firefox [03:58] ok [03:58] mehul_yadav: you don't, it's a graphical browser [03:58] mehul_yadav: don't do what he suggested [03:58] shazbotmcnasty: Maybe that would work if this came with an .xml file, but this is just a bunch of .png images and a gtkrc.txt file. [03:58] gksudo [03:58] mehul_yadav: if you do that your basically running Flash as root, and that's not good [03:58] mehul_yadav: Flash I meant Firefox [03:59] what could I do with a 650 mhz, 128 meg ram box? [03:59] I'd suggest just googling to hell and back [03:59] !linux | FloridaGuy [03:59] FloridaGuy: Linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system. Many operating systems use Linux as kernel. For more information on Linux in general, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux [03:59] since no one is helping you here. And you've been asking for a while. [03:59] shazbotmcnasty: I did. I got this. http://library.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/themes-3.html.en It doesn't really help.

[04:00] n2diy: it would make a reasonable dev platform or a light web browsing box. [04:00] gksudo firefox [04:00] n2diy: without more ram I'd avoid using it as a workstation tho. [04:00] FloridaGuy: your not the first person to say something like that, but hey we can expect this, Flash is closed source [04:01] sebsebseb, but dont you open graphical programs from the terminal with gksudo not sudo [04:01] FloridaGuy: and from a company that dosen't really care about Linux [04:01] n2diy, would be one heck of a dsl box tho [04:01] nevyn: ok, I have a test box already, but having two wouldn't hurt. I thinking of maybe a headless server? [04:01] does mark shuttleworth ever get on here? [04:01] thiebaude: yes, but only programs that you have a reason to do that to, so not Firefox [04:01] Andorin, put them in /usr/share/themes/option-name/pixmaps/*.* [04:01] n2diy: yeah that works [04:01] sebsebseb, cool , i didn't know that [04:01] ubuntu_: there was a question and answer session with him for the Ubuntu 9.04 Open Week [04:01] or somewhere in ~/,themes [04:01] shazbotmcnasty: I thought that the directory had to exist in order for that to work, but there's no pixmaps directory...

[04:04] firefox went off when i was accessing hotmail [04:04] changed chat clients [04:04] is there any way I can get a list of all the software ive installed that does not get installed by default? i'm redoing my box and I'd like to issue an apt-get on everything I need [04:04] i think i will go for an upgrade to ubuntu 9.04 [04:04] n2diy: that should be fine... [04:04] Andorin, just drop it in /usr/share/themes or ~/.themes [04:04] is there a linux mint chan? [04:05] oh well i install opera 10 beta2 [04:05] shazbotmcnasty: I did, and it doesn't show up in the Appearances window. [04:05] !mint | draxo [04:05] draxo: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), crunchbang (support in #crunchbang) [04:05] i can't open my trash bin, it says it's an unkown file. can someone tell me whats wrong? [04:05] when is the release date for 9.10? [04:05] !9.10 [04:05] Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [04:05] nevyn: ok, cool. When I'm done with the install, can I remove the vidieo card, and still have the box boot? [04:05] draxo: hmm their offical channel is on another network I think [04:05] ooh [04:05] thanks [04:05] ubuntu_: yeah go to #ubuntu+1 to talk about 9.10 [04:06] shazbotmcnasty: And after creating a pixmaps folder and dropping the files in there, then switching to the theme, I see no change. [04:06] draxo: I think there's #mint [04:06] boys [04:07] draxo: not for the distro it seems oh well [04:07] nopers [04:07] Karmic works fine on my system [04:07] no worries [04:07] i'll find it [04:07] !karmic | r3l1c [04:07] r3l1c: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [04:07] i got a problem in mint that maybe you guys might be able to help me with [04:07] How do I check the current topic of this channel? [04:07] Does anyone here use a graphical front-end to /etc/fstab? [04:07] kevdog: /topic [04:07] sebsebseb: I know, I use it. [04:07] draxo: this channel is really only meant to be for Ubuntu support, and then obviously people go off topic here and there as well [04:07] nevyn: thanks [04:07] lol [04:08] kevdog: what irc app are you using? [04:08] komputes: I use puppet... [04:08] thiebaude1: what at what I put? [04:08] Andorin, /uar/share/NAME_OF_THE_THEME/pixmaps? [04:08] could I get a hand here? It's got to do with uninstalling GRUB. [04:08] komputes: chatzilla [04:08] shazbotmcnasty: Yes. [04:08] komputes: I'm afraid to use anything with fstab, especially a gui that might not be mature. [04:09] well then, go inside the original file and find where the pictures for the theme are, and replace them with the ones that you've got [04:09] sebsebseb: how do i change it, i switced over from xchat [04:09] ? [04:09] they don't like me either [04:09] that's what I would do, although it'd probably esplode my puter [04:09] thiebaude1: change what? [04:09] >-) [04:09] sebsebseb: the 1 after my name [04:09] i mean the #ubuntu+1 [04:09] I know, I'm a total newbie here, but I'd like to uninstall GRUB and re-format my ubuntu partition. [04:09] /nick thiebaude [04:09] thiebaude1: switched over to what? and /knick [04:09] well it's a potential ubuntu problem too i would think. whenever i activate the restricted ati/amd fglrx driver and try to load up the "screen preferences" to change my resolution to dual screen it freezes on me. and the entire system just bogs until i restart [04:09] yes [04:09] thiebaude1: did you register your name with the nickserv? [04:10] ubuntu_: I joined soon after I told you to join, but I didn't see you put anything [04:10] nevyn: puppet is not graphical is it? [04:10] DocZetta: so just re-install? [04:10] oh burned [04:10] kevdog:it was thiebaude on xchat [04:10] DocZetta, are you wanting to reinstall windows or just reinstall ubuntu? [04:10] komputes: not exactly. [04:10] sebsebseb, is smart [04:10] :4 [04:10] :3* [04:10] 1 sec [04:10] What are you using now? [04:10] it's more like a sysadmin programming framework... [04:10] I'm looking to remove ubuntu and install debian -- I'm having network issues with it that I can't kick. [04:10] shazbotmcnasty: why do you think that? [04:11] I need an alternative to unison [04:11] komputes: why do you want a frontend to /etc/fstab [04:11] kevdog: grsync. [04:11] !minthelp [04:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about minthelp [04:11] the channel join thing, was just funny... [04:11] !mintsupport [04:11] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint on irc.spotchat.org [04:11] nevyn: for a new user who I can't trust to run blkid and the update fstab himself [04:11] n2diy: How does it work? rsync or something else? [04:11] but I wasn't sure how ubuntu would handle it, so I installed easyBCD and ran it, and reinstalled the vista bootloader. [04:11] so now I'm not even sure if it's safe to reboot. [04:12] nevyn: basically just to select a drive and have it mount at startup [04:12] join what? [04:12] !lts [04:12] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be 10.04 [04:12] kevdog: yes, gui front end for rsync, I've been using it for two weeks now to mirror /home/me to my test box down stairs. [04:12] nevyn: something which i feel should be included in ubuntu (like right click on drive, proprties, then select that you wanted mouted at startup) [04:12] komputes: so a user needs to add internal harddisks to his system..? [04:12] shazbotmcnasty: sometimes I may join the channal if not already in it, when I refer someone there, to see if others are helping with the issue, and possibily to assist with it myself [04:13] if anyone's wondering, I do not have a backup or bootable Vista 64 disk. [04:13] komputes: how are the drives we're talking about connected? [04:13] just a hidden partition. [04:13] DocZetta: those are evil!. [04:13] I still never got any damn help with localhost. Does anyone know how to unblock localhost, I'm trying to get bitlbee to work correctly, but localhost denies my connection. [04:13] nevyn: yep just to select a partition to mount at starup - internal drive (sata or ide) [04:13] n2diy: Although I love the concept of rsync -- its really buggy for me -- seems to drop with large transfers -- meaning files that are really large. Does this happen to anyone else? [04:13] nevyn: tell me about it. it's partly why I'm afraid to shut this off and reboot. [04:13] sebsebseb, it was kinda a joke, I was mocking ubuntu_ [04:13] I'm in Vista 64 now. [04:13] nevyn: any way to do that other than editing fstab? [04:13] shazbotmcnasty: oh right, didn't pick up on that [04:13] why am i being mocked now? [04:14] :) [04:14] how do i change my nick? [04:15] kevdog: I recall reading something like that, you might google it, I think there is a cli switch to limit transfer size, so you can span over a couple CDs, but I'm not sure of that? [04:15] but does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I don't want to be stuck in Vista, and this laptop is less than two months old. [04:15] just type /nick an your nickhere [04:15] thiebaude1: just type in: /nick newname_here === ubuntu_ is now known as nickhere [04:15] lol [04:15] wow [04:15] that worked [04:15] cool [04:15] "ubuntu_ agora chama-se nickhere" lol [04:15] yes he work [04:16] what? === thiebaude1 is now known as thiebaude [04:16] there you go [04:16] changed it [04:16] :D [04:16] am i going to hell for using a phone with windows mobile on it? [04:16] yes [04:16] !ot | nickhere [04:16] nickhere: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [04:17] and why was i being mocked earlier, what did i ever do to get mocked? [04:17] nevyn: i found external projects like pysdm and disk-manager which are frontends to fstab, but I was wondering if there was a way of doing it without installing extra packages [04:17] nothing. I was just making fun. [04:17] Forget it ever happened. [04:17] nice... [04:17] shazbotmcnasty: he didn't get to see that, since he got kicked === saulus_ is now known as SauLus [04:17] nickhere, stay on topic [04:17] I noticed lol [04:17] hello, what's the difference bet the under dev google chrome and chromium? [04:17] what didn't i see? [04:17] komputes: I don't know.. [04:17] simple issue, i want filezilla ftp server i have the win base source any sulutions to compiling this for 8.04 [04:18] ok [04:18] dsdeiz: chromium is a game [04:18] pehden, you are talking off topic since filezilla does not directly relate to Ubuntu... [04:18] chromium-browser [04:18] and neither does chrome or chromium.. [04:18] i have ubuntu 8.10 [04:19] nickhere, it is in the repos [04:19] nickhere, last warning [04:19] nickhere i am trying to compile it for ubuntu [04:19] so is ubuntu one [04:19] anyone used rdiff-backup? [04:19] if I setup a headless server, does the video card have to stay in the box? [04:20] n2diy, no [04:20] bazhang im refering to the filezilla server [04:20] i guess you're right nickhere [04:20] pehden, why compile, filezilla is in hardy repos [04:20] kevdog, I use it quite a bit in automated fashion. [04:20] thats the client not the server [04:20] MK13: cool, thanks. [04:21] ding_:does it run ontop of rsync or is it a standalone utility? [04:21] IRC noob question - but I'm using pidgin with the purple plugins pack to chat here - is that a reasonable way to do IRC - or should I be using something else? [04:21] anyone have an answer? [04:21] bazhang thats the client not the server [04:21] pehden, ah I see [04:21] the ops are obviously unfair and unbalanced in this channel [04:21] how can i remove the config files associated with a package after i've removed the package itself? [04:21] n2diy: i second that what MK13 says [04:21] nickhere i agree with you [04:22] pidgin owns, if irc is all u use there or u hack around alot other clients can compete [04:22] kevdog, I believe it's implemented in python but that it does use rsync... a check on it's package dependencies should answer that one though... [04:22] hi [04:22] ctmjr: ok, I better get to work then. tnx [04:22] !hi | bipul [04:22] bipul: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [04:22] n2diy, i would take my gpu outa my server but it is one w/ the mobo :) [04:22] thankyou [04:23] kevdog, it uses librsync1.... [04:23] How is rdiff any different than unison? [04:23] Is there a way to get rid of the config files after doing sudo apt-get remove ? [04:23] ding_: How is rdiff any different than unison? [04:23] actually i was trying find out a way to install jdk to my system and the netbeans [04:24] as i am new here in the field of linux please help me [04:24] nickhere: do you by far know how to change the commands being run by dmenu? [04:24] hello - I've started getting an error message when I boot my computer (and it seems to be running sluggishly all of a sudden). The error reads "Enter password for default keyring to unlock - the application 'NetworkManager Applet (/usr/bin/nm-applet) wants access to the default keyring, but it is locked" can anyone help? [04:24] dsdeiz: nickhere got muted or something I think [04:24] kevdog, unison is a two-way syncing utility. rdiff-backup is designed to keep a record of changes over time, so you can say, retrieve a directory or file from a certain date or number of days back in time... [04:25] trask1: thanks - I'm happy with it except being able to have multiple channels tiled - you can do it but trickier in ubuntu because you can't automatically tile the windows. [04:25] MK13: the box I'm working on is a 650mhz machine, with a 128 m of ram. I'd rather be working on the 1200mhz, 256 m ram box, but, the video controller is dead on the MB, and I don't have a PCI card to drop in it. [04:25] I believe it also does some fancy footwork with hard links to save disk space [04:25] i think my gprs connection is faster on ubuntu than on windows... [04:25] sebsebseb: oh okay [04:25] ding_: Ok I get the difference but does it choke with large file sizes like unison? Sometimes with unison for me if I have a file that is like 100-200 MB in size (or bigger) the process chokes! [04:26] Is there anything more up to date than "wipe" and "secure-delete"? These two programs have not been updated for several YEARS. Isn't there a wipe tool that is more recent, and takes into account journaling filesystems and newer harddrive techonlogies? [04:26] Hey is there any way to minimize the main interface of NBR and get to the desktop behind? I see that there are icons there so I figure it is somehow useable [04:26] I am windows user, I am thinking of getting dell laptop with ubuntu, Is it something easy to learn? [04:26] any one have a sullution to my issue [04:26] rb789: the learning curve isn't that steep [04:26] roy_hobbs: You have to switch the desktop mode. [04:26] well, since it uses the rsync protocol, it will try to compute deltas. That's where the trouble can happen with large files... There's probably a way to turn off the delta computation aspect... [04:26] flanders: where/how? [04:27] how to get the nameserver from an IP address? [04:27] rb789 it depends on your def of easy [04:27] roy_hobbs: Go to Preferences > Switch Desktop Mode [04:27] rb789: if you have Ubuntu, are there any Windows programs you would like to run in it? if so which? [04:27] thanks [04:27] STEAM [04:27] steam runs in wine :3 [04:27] roy_hobbs: I prefer the classic desktop mode, personally. I got tired of the Netbook desktop mode, and it uses extra RAM as well. [04:27] if anything you can test ubuntu with live cd [04:27] bah. I'm a noob. I haven't even had ubuntu a week yet. [04:28] rb789 make an iso and test it live without installing it [04:28] Did anyone see my question about current wipe software? [04:28] !wine | DocZetta rb789 [04:28] DocZetta rb789: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [04:28] Hey quick question. How much damage could a virus do to my ubuntu machine if it ran it's self through wine? [04:28] zherkehzi: none at all [04:28] flanders: the netbook mode uses extra ram? [04:29] but yes, I think it's an easy thing to learn, there are many many websites, and a great community of people to help you if you don't understand something. rb789 [04:29] zherkehzi: Windows viruses only infect Windows [04:29] kewlbeans thanks! [04:29] zherkehzi: also the virus may not work at all in Wine, or only partially [04:29] rb789 sorry, you can burn ubuntu to disk or order it for free and test it out [04:29] !virus | zherkehzi [04:29] zherkehzi: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [04:29] jeremdow: Yes, I noticed it. It is a couple extra processes, in of itself. [04:29] thanks sebsebseb, but I know what WINE is. :-P [04:29] as well as the rest of .exe programs rofl [04:30] thanks everybody [04:30] zherkehzi: no probs [04:30] so...is it safe to restart this machine? [04:31] I'm not sure if GRUB is gone, and Linux is still on that partition. [04:31] I've used easyBCD. [04:31] any thoughts? :-/ [04:31] hello [04:31] if a virus got into your wine it would only hurt wine installed programs === HttpError is now known as evilNirvana [04:31] I mean, it's not a memory hog, only about 20 MB. So if you prefer the netbook launcher desktop, then keep it. I prefer the classic desktop mode, after getting tired of the rigid netbook desktop mode. Plus, it saves a bit of RAM as well, if you don't use it. [04:32] I don't mean to repeat unneccesarily, but: [04:32] Is there anything more up to date than "wipe" and "secure-delete"? These two programs have not been updated for several YEARS. Isn't there a wipe tool that is more recent, and takes into account journaling filesystems and newer harddrive techonlogies? [04:32] Is their a dimming app? for notebooks? [04:33] flanders: I'm just surprised, I use the classic desktop, but i would have assumed netbook mode would have a smaller memory footprint. [04:34] ubuntu 9.04 has that ability preinstalled [04:34] i found a cool hax, just type /quit whoever, and it'll quit them from irc [04:34] jeremdow: nothing ubuntu has a small memory footprint [04:34] jeremdow: It doesn't. It is an additional application running in the background. [04:34] ExMachina, why? Why would you goof noobs? [04:35] ExMachina: bored much? [04:35] in other news, how those linux ATI drivers coming along? [04:35] Looking for a dimming app (easy peasy...on vaio) === stovice1 is now known as stovicek [04:35] I'm debating between a GTX 260 and a 4850, with the 4850 being about $70 cheaper [04:35] rocko: It's built in to Ubuntu. [04:36] anyone get the Intel GMA 500 working in Ubuntu Jaunty yet? [04:36] Dell mini 10 [04:36] get the gtx [04:36] better drivers [04:36] gtx? [04:36] I'm on the GMA 4500, nicros_ -- works fine. don't see why 500 wouldn't, though it's old as dirt. [04:36] it's new [04:37] very new [04:37] um like , filezilla ftp server how to install from source please [04:37] Is it possible to connect to irc using empathy? [04:37] flanders says dimming is built in....so, how can I manually manipulate? [04:37] its the HD Video card for the dell mini 10 [04:38] richardcavell, I've heard it supports all the pidgin protocols, but I have no experience. [04:38] hey guys I can't play DVD's even after installing the appropriate packages...is there somethign else I am supposed to do? [04:39] stanley_, I suggest looking into VLC [04:39] I agree. [04:39] lotus: well which protocol is it? [04:39] vlc is king [04:40] anyone have an acer one aspire netbook? [04:40] is /root being accessible by root only a new thing in 9.04? [04:40] richardcavell, like I said I have no experience using empathy. I just know pidign supports IRC. The protocol is "IRC" iirc hahaha [04:40] lotus: there's no IRC [04:40] lotus, what's iirc stand for? [04:40] lotus: if i recall correctly [04:40] lotus, and lotus notes sucks [04:41] ah [04:41] um like , filezilla ftp server how to install from source please repeat 1 [04:41] hi, I've changed with sudo -s to root in the terminal. how I can swith back to my normal user? [04:41] thank you richardcavell [04:41] lotus I have vlc that doesn't play them either [04:41] pe2, ctrl-d [04:41] pe2: exit [04:41] pehden: if you want to know about installing from source I suggest connecting to #slackware [04:41] pehden: they are used to that sort of thing [04:41] ive got a sblive (emu10k) soundcard, its known good. however interestingly, when recording it seems to lock up, ive got two of the same exact card, and two different computers both running ubuntu, same results in any combination. when recording in audacity for example it will briefly record, and then cease recording [04:41] kevdog: thanks [04:41] subsequent recording attempts will cease working completely [04:41] stanley_, I dunno. I know there's media repositories and stuff, you're sure you downloaded the right packages? Search google for ubuntu dvd codecs [04:41] pehden: Compiling from source is easy [04:42] richardcavell, I'm not sure why, empathy homepage says it supports IRC [04:42] pehden: Have you ever done any installing from source before? [04:42] lotus: I know but I can't see which protocol [04:42] lotus...ok then, I downloaded and installed everything i was told to on the documentation [04:42] lotus: anyway I'm happy with xchat [04:43] Say, is there any way to get a sort of kernel compatibility layer, to cause different hardware to be recognized (with lesser capabilities than what is actually present), by a host operating system? [04:43] Why is creating a bz2 tar archive so slow?? Rhetorical question [04:43] richardcavell, I use xchat ftw :) pidgin has too many pop-up windows (nameserv, all the greet bots, etc) [04:43] kevdog: it just is [04:43] kevdog the source is set for windows, from what i have read in the code [04:43] stanley_, got me, someone else might know more sorry [04:44] lotus: thanks anyway man [04:44] kevdog: I tried backing up my internal hard disk to a bz2 file and could have fallen asleep waiting for it. It's not much smaller than gzip [04:44] kevdog: that is to say, the resulting image is not much smaller with bz2 than with gz [04:45] kevdog thats why im here i new to this [04:45] does anyone know how to disable ipv6 in jaunty? [04:45] I just aborted bz2 creation and am going with gz -- Hopefully its faster [04:45] pehden: Why do you want filezilla anyway -- linux has better utilities [04:46] used to be easy by commenting out the line in /etc/modprobe.conf/aliases back in the day but doesn't like that file exists anymore [04:47] Yea this gz archive creation is faster!!! [04:47] Thanks for tip!!! [04:48] pehden, why do you want to disable ipv6? [04:48] kevdog like its set up [04:48] Has anyone else had problem's with compiz in 8.04? It's been crashing after I change something, and then reboot [04:49] pehden: Ok but better start liking another programs setup as well [04:49] zherki, I just turned compee off ;-) [04:50] kevdog I tried vsftp i leked its simpleness but it wouldnt let me upload to it or have users the way i wanted [04:50] ok. I thought I was screwing it up somehow due to my noobish self [04:50] pehden: What about ssh and winscp? [04:50] how do i download the public key for the ppa repos? [04:51] zherki, Its eye candy, not necessary for ubuntu functioning [04:51] hey guys, in permissions hell, though must be a simple problem. vfat line in fstab is /dev/sda10 /media/DATA vfat utf8,user,umask=022 0 1. works fine for sudo but permission denied user. any ideas? [04:51] https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA#Adding%20a%20PPA%27s%20keys%20to%20your%20system nicros_ [04:51] quiet in here. [04:51] :-) [04:51] hm... [04:51] thanks [04:51] echo [04:51] Personally I just wish ubuntu did not compiz by default [04:52] kevdog winscp [04:52] my computer does not want to reboot after compiz installation [04:52] When has GNOME 2.24 been released? [04:53] not that it's old === Homer is now known as Guest63000 [04:54] ?DCC SEND "ff???f?" 0 0 0\ [04:55] kevdog what is that [04:55] What's that software again, which you use to boot ubuntu from flash drive ? [04:55] bullgard4: I believe in sept 08. I may be wrong [04:55] ubuntin or something [04:56] Proh, unetbootin [04:56] lol yeah thanks [04:56] zherkehzi: Thank you. [04:56] bullgard4: thank google. lol [04:56] proh... [04:56] yes? [04:57] it is easier to boot into the live cd and install it using the usb startup disk creator [04:57] nickhere, he may be using windows atm [04:57] yeah, that's correct ^^ [04:57] hey guys, in permissions hell, though must be a simple problem. vfat line in fstab is /dev/sda10 /media/DATA vfat utf8,user,umask=022 0 1. works fine for sudo but permission denied user. any ideas? [04:57] unetbootin has one for windows iirc [04:58] bullgard4:I just checked, sept 24, 08 [04:58] Hi all. Is there any way to run a Mac OS Widget on Linux? Thanks. [04:58] bazhang, can't he still boot into the live cd without harming windows? [04:58] to be exact [04:58] gasull, in kde4? [04:58] zherkehzi: Very good, thank you again. [04:58] bazhang: gnome [04:58] nickhere, sure, but he wants unetbootin [04:58] gasull, doubtful with gnome, kde4 can iirc [04:59] I was just trying to offer an easier solution :-) [05:01] Can anyone offer some FTP server help? [05:02] ok I had to remove my normal user login user due to mistakes during lvm creation, but I have the user recreated but need to know how to add them to sudo and any other group I need [05:02] i'm using filezilla and want to create an FTP server to share music with a couple of friends [05:03] I used adduser from cli [05:03] dport, all creative commons music im sure [05:03] does anyone know how to change the screen size on a netbook? I have a netbook with 8.9" screen but appears for some reason UNR is using 10" setting and can't see any of the borders. Thoughts? [05:04] its all music that i've personally made [05:06] I used to have Thinkpad T42, and was running Ubuntu for a long time on it, and i remember fan working non stop, after that i switched to Dell Latitude runing Ubuntu where fan worked fine. Recently i got Thinkpad T60 and i am having the same issue, once the fan start it never stops. Is this issue known or? [05:07] ultraz, may be an issue with the t-60 fan assembly [05:07] can someone help me with my external usb hd i cannot write to it [05:07] BellinXFelon, is it write protected? [05:08] nickhere : no i dont think so [05:08] nickhere : i just had it working and now it went back to not letting me write to it [05:08] hmm [05:08] ever plug it into a windows machine? [05:10] voss: and T42? [05:11] voss: It looks to me like Ubuntu has issue with Thinkpads. [05:11] ultraz, perhaps [05:12] !adduser [05:12] To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo [05:12] mm I had a few issues with my think pad ultraz keyboard problems & usb [05:13] but after a few updates it seemed to have fixed most issues [05:13] ultraz, fan assemblies can be a problem with older thinkpads [05:13] Hey...I think I need a little help...I just opened a folder full of e-books via the gui, and the progress wheel just keeps spinning, and not all the files are appearing...is this a problem, or should i just be more patient? [05:15] hello [05:16] ultraz, generally thinkpads run linux very well [05:16] I hate these new prius commercials ;-) [05:16] IBM makes good hardware [05:16] same [05:16] I hate commercials in general [05:16] lol [05:16] mechtech:What i would do is a force-quit and try again [05:17] how do i do a su in 9.04? [05:17] zherkehzi: force quit what? [05:17] and how? [05:17] please [05:17] i set up a user password when i installed the system, but it didn't have me use a root password [05:17] What is Linux Mint considered in relation to Ubuntu , a variant, a spinoff or a derivative product? [05:17] CaptWho: you use sudo [05:17] Well try to click the exit button, then it should ask you to Wait, or Force quit [05:18] CaptWho: $ sudo su - [05:18] then type your user password [05:18] linux mint is like the long lost cousin... [05:18] Then click force quit. But I mean, whatever you think [05:18] CaptWho: to perform commands as root, use sudo...never really want to login as root [05:18] Mint 7 is 9.04 with a bunch of tweaks [05:19] afternoon all. q: I have a music cd that works in my cd player, but doesn't mount when put into my laptop's dvd drive... I'm guessing it's because the cd is protected / scratched a bit? Could someone clear this up for me? thnx [05:19] i am a relative newb to ubuntu [05:19] it's been years since i learned linux [05:19] how to force quit? [05:19] i wanted a fakeraid so i used server, not i am in the process of bootstrapping a desktop from it [05:19] ste [05:19] thanks much hoonteke [05:19] how do i use apt to install the ubuntu DESKTOP package? [05:19] CaptWho: no worries, but listen to mechtech as well. [05:20] mechtech: You can also add the force quit button to your panel. Right click on panel, then click add to panel, [05:20] why cam [05:20] oops [05:20] then search for force quit. then click Add. [05:20] you can also kill a task from the system monitor [05:20] why shouldn't i log in as root? [05:20] because [05:20] it's easier to screw up the system [05:20] KE7TMA: do you want the package or the full desktop that is installed by the installer? [05:20] cat walks across the keyboard [05:20] dan [05:21] i installed the ubuntu-desktop metapackage [05:21] but i still have the server kernel [05:21] my goal is a mythbuntu setup [05:21] zherkehzi: thanks...is there a keystroke for that? [05:21] but, i want to have gnome as well, [05:22] the damned thing is that i managed it once before [05:22] but bad ram caused that installation to fail mysteriously [05:22] why is there no virus on *nix system? [05:22] mechtech: I'm sorry, I dont understand. What do you mean by keystroke? [05:22] kbp [05:22] KE7TMA: yeah, you gotta install linux-generic [05:22] ahhhhhhhhh [05:22] nice [05:22] kbp: because it's soo good [05:23] zherkehzi: like delete in win, or
